Don't worry about it. There seems to be a prevailing attitude that people shouldn't ask questions, but rather wade through the multitudes of faqs and threads that pose the same questions. I understand why people think this way, as you don't want 30 threads asking the same question when one can do the trick.

The problem though is that there is so much information, and ROMS and ideas are changing so fast that it's hard to keep it all well indexed, and actually makes finding relevant and useful information difficult as you often don't know where to start. This forum is so badly disorganized, I'm surprised we have so many people that can actually figure it out.

In anycase, you'll want to download a few things...

This ROM (link is on the first page)

The latest radio (go to cyanogen's wiki page, it's an awesome resource)

The "Danger/death/haykuro" SPL

A Recovery image (I recommend RA's recovery image v1.5.2, as it has some nice feature's you'll need)

The individual threads for each of those things should have proper instructions. The key thing you'll want to avoid is flashing the SPL before the radio. ALWAYS RADIO FIRST. Don't want to brick your phone.

Once you have all these things downloaded, check out the "Important Links" thread that is stickied on the forum. Also check out Cyanogen's wiki page. I found it to be a very useful and organized site.
[G1 Android Development] The_Franchise:
can i just download this, wipe and flash if im comin off cyanongen roms? i got the mt3g cause usually flashin the spl isnt needed for the mt3g
[G1 Android Development] tsnow247:
I'd flash the spl anyway. You can check to see if you have the right one.

Go to Settings, scroll down to "About Phone." Scroll down to the bottom of that page, you should see "Baseband version." There it should say 62.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I. The important part is the end.

As long as you've got 2.22.19.26I you won't have to flash the spl.

If you don't have that, you'll need to flash the spl.
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Yes just wipe and you can use this.
[G1 Android Development] Defgarden:
Uh, that's the radio, not the SPL.
[G1 Android Development] The_Franchise:
thanks, just flashed it

how long does it take to get off the boot image?
[G1 Android Development] tribalb:
Im using ext3 with a 96m swap. hmm swappiness. thats something new. how do u set that up. initially when i did the partitions i just used amon ra's recovery. there was no option for swappiness.

edit: looked at how to change the swappiness. runs alot better. thanks for mentioning that
[G1 Android Development] big_d093:
Usually bout 5 to 7 mins
[G1 Android Development] ChrisAC84:
Thanks, someone with some common decency. I flashed the new radio, flashed the SPL, flashed the ROM, now I am rebooting, waiting at the boot screen and praying I did everything correctly, lol

EDIT: Ok everything booted fine, but now it keeps force closing android.process. Any ideas whats wrong?

EDIT AGAIN: I read some stuff on Google, and decided it may be some of my apps. I wiped my data, then reflashed the ROM, and it works fine now.

rom issues

Just wanted to report I flashed this rom last night and so far I've run into the following issues:

- Boot loop on flash of 1.5 .... had to flash 1.4r2 1st and then was able to flash 1.5 successfully.. this was on a freshly partitioned/formatted sd card, phone wiped, coming from Dwang 1.17.1

- After first boot I lost 3/4 of the home screen(turned into a black box) when the phone rotated from portrait to landscape. Holding the end key until the shutdown menu popped up and then hitting back corrected the issue. This has not happened since.

- No vibration on incoming text. Vibration does work for haptic feedback and incoming calls.

- Something is screwy with text prediction. Initially, there was no predicted text at all. Later, it seems to be predicting words... but not picking the most commonly used variations as the hilighted selection that will take effect when pressing the space bar. The selections also seem to be like the ones I would expect to see for T-9, not a full keyboard. This is different from stock and other roms I have tried (1.6 and earlier).

- On this screen size(G1) in portrait, T-9 (or X-9 or whatever) is preferrable over the full keyboard. However, I experienced a freeze while replying to an SMS with the stock app, T-9, e-buddy IM, and the Apartment Guide app running. Had to reboot with send - menu - end.

*edit* I was able to reproduce this a second time only having run stock text messaging and the T-9 keyboard.....

- Switching camera app between camera and video, I experienced a long delay, during which time the app's controls were unresponsive, but the preview window was functioning.

- Holding the keyboard selection button while using the full keyboard results in a popup with 2 selections... 1 for settings and another that appears to be jibberish. (I have disabled japanese support on my phone)

- Extracting the resources pack on SD... I have multiple entries for each ringtone, notification, etc...

All that said... I am quite impressed with this rom. The new features of 2.1 are much needed, and most of the pitfalls I have experienced with this rom are merely annoyances. The most critical problem, for me, is the lack of vibrate on incoming text; though, it would be nice if the other issues were fixed as well. The lockup issue could become annoying if its a regular occurrence (too early to tell). It is quite fast, though I would say it is slightly slower than Dwang's 1.17.1... I expected this with the upgrade. I also hope we get a chance at some point to play with the updated launcher. Although, not a rom specific problem, I am disappointed that google/aosp has released a MUCH slower browser than we had in 1.6. Luckily, steel seems to retain the speed we had with the 1.6 stock browser.
[G1 Android Development] digitallysick:
What would it take to mod this rom for 5 home screens instead of 3? Is it as simple as changing a few values?
[G1 Android Development] The_Franchise:
wow, mine was on the boot image for a half hour or so :(

i just pulled the battery :(

thank god for nandroid
[G1 Android Development] ChrisAC84:
If you notice inside the folder, there are two instances of each ringtone. There is a sub-folder inside called Pax Header that also contains the audio files, which is why you have two entries :)
[G1 Android Development] dudebro:
did you wipe everything before flashing?
[G1 Android Development] The_Franchise:
yea i did.

i had to wipe/re-format the sd card too?
[G1 Android Development] dudebro:
I always do. I have the mt3g and wipe everything when flashing another rom.

I backup my apk files so I don't have to reinstall everything. try wiping the sd

and everything else with it and flash again.

Facebook Sync Fix

Just installed this ROM this afternoon and am greatly impressed. Much faster than any other ROM I've installed (and I think I've installed them all at some point in the last six months) and its the first time since I bought the phone that Android feels like it's working right.

To fix the Facebook sync, I did this:

- Download the resources file. Unzip it and stick it on the SD card

- On the phone, go to the Market and install Astro File Manager

- From the Applications menu on the phone, uninstall whatever version of Facebook you have

- Using Astro, access the Removed Apps folder and select the Facebook app within

- Let the app manager install it

You should be able to sync your contacts after that.
[G1 Android Development] nacron:
Anyone use waze on this rom? I keep getting restarts when I have to enter my username and password.
[G1 Android Development] kalpa11:
um quick nooby question what's better 32A or 32B?
[G1 Android Development] ChrisAC84:
Also, when I start up, after a reboot, I get a message saying something about the android keyboard not responding, and I have to click wait. Is this normal?
[G1 Android Development] digitallysick:
Oops nevermind!
[G1 Android Development] Jamison904:

Going to flash this weekend from Cyanogen. Any tips not already covered? (doubtful but doesn't hurt to ask)
[G1 Android Development] m0j09987:
So seriously im gettin annoyed im tryin to flash this and it gets me to the home screen, but i can see the phone icon nor the contacts icon, also i get a force close when i press on the call button...... Help please!
[G1 Android Development] digitallysick:
Do this

Amon recovery , wipe , and wipe cache

Format sd card

128mb swap, 500mb ext4 (more or less if you choose)

Flash the rom , I have no issues, I tried it on a G1 and Mytouch3g, the G1 has the dangerspl, the mytouch, I didn't flash any spl, works without it
[G1 Android Development] The_Franchise:
thanks, it worked
[G1 Android Development] masr1979:
Could someone verify the SHA1, MD5 checksums for the latest release (2.1-v1.5)? I've downloaded the file a few times already and I keep getting stuck at boot seen I've tried all the suggestions and followed the instructions to the letter, I'm wondering if I'm dowloading a corrupted file.

I've tried with engineering spl 1.33.2010, with haykuro's spl, with and without extra partitions on mysdcard; I'm trying to run this on a mytouch, so I assumed haykuro's spl, and the partitions were optional, but when I ran into problems tried them out anyways. Needless to say I've wiped everything I could each time.
[G1 Android Development] digitallysick:
Are you following instructions, using Amon recovery ? Wipeing and fully reformatting your sd card?
[G1 Android Development] dudebro:
No problem.
[G1 Android Development] m0j09987:
i followed everything u said and still no luck, can u please get me the link for the SPL im going to try doing it over again
[G1 Android Development] digitallysick:
Are you on a G1 or mytouch3g?

The G1 stuff is here I believe

http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/downloads/list
[G1 Android Development] m0j09987:
yea im G1... i did the radio and than spl again...

im flashing it now.. im at the boot screeen, wish me luck
[G1 Android Development] m0j09987:
same ****... whatever im going back to super d... until another dev comes up with 2.1
[G1 Android Development] m0j09987:
i think its the rom itself, idk why its diffferent.. i just flash eugene eclair and its fine!

why am i having trouble with this one?!
[G1 Android Development] kalpa11:
oh dang the voice to text thing is sweeettt and so is the rest of the ROM thanks!!!!
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
I have been using this ROM for like 2 weeks now and I absolutely love it. I flashed the sweet looking launcher and the cool voice to text thing so my G1 rocks now.

But of course those kind of comments don't come without a But...The only thing I am having an issue with his Gtalk. it doesn't want to stay connected. I will be in the middle of a chat and it looses connection then regains then looses. it is very annoying. I have searched all threads but couldn't find anything. Is anybody else having this issue? Is this an issue with Éclair Roms right now? Cause I came from CM and didn't have this issue. any help would be appreciated. thanks.
[G1 Android Development] digitallysick:
Really need to mod the Launcher for more than 3 screens, any ideas? I don't know anything about java programming, is it as easy as modifying the Launcher.apk?
[G1 Android Development] kamikaze2311:
Hi all, noob question here, right now i'm using ADP1 with standar SPL and latest radio ends with .26i, and only fat3/ext2 no linux-swap, can i just only wipe all (wipe ext.2,dalvik-cache) n straight flashing? btw i'm from latest cyanogen 4.2.13. thanks for helping me before..
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Hey Kamikaze you will need haykuro spl, everything else sounds fine. make sure you wipe everything and you should be good.
[G1 Android Development] LesserAnimal:
Just switched from xRom. the speed difference is incredible. i was about to go back to cyanogen from being so frustrated with it but figured i'd give this one shot. GREAT JOB!
[G1 Android Development] kamikaze2311:
Royal, thx for this, but if i'm using stock sdcard 1gb, is it ok ?, so i dont have to make swap right?
[G1 Android Development] cyberrobin:
I'm currently getting Force Close's when trying to open new messages in my Exchange mailbox. Anyone else having the same problems? Will it be fixed (soon?). :)
[G1 Android Development] smarti13:

GREAT job BUT

it is a bit slow for everyday use

3 secondes for the screen to flip (portrait -> landscape)

thanks again
[G1 Android Development] Cannon202:
Can somebody tell me how to get the a2sd working
[G1 Android Development] 1993cb7:
If you setup your partition correctly, it should be automatic.
[G1 Android Development] 1993cb7:
Try wiping/flashing again.

Mine is running flawless(except for the market not working)
[G1 Android Development] 1993cb7:
Any idea's on why market doesn't work?

It syncs my contacts etc but market won't download anything. ?!?!?!
[G1 Android Development] ChrisAC84:
My market is working fine, everything is running smooth. The only problem I encounter, even after wiping the data and installing it again, is on startup, I get the message that the Android keyboard has stopped responding, and have to click Wait. Just a minor issue, but one that gets annoying
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
Same here. On a 2nd install with full wipe (data, ext3, dalvik) and I see that the dialer, Gmail and Messaging take about 3-5 seconds to load up. Otherwise, it's awesome.
[G1 Android Development] 1993cb7:
I don't get it, in every way this rom is awesome.

It syncs fine.

Nothing will download in the market and i wifi tethering doesn't work.

As far as i know, everything else works fine.

Any help please? If i can't get market to work or tethering, ill have to move on.
[G1 Android Development] 1993cb7:
Just checked, Gtalk doesn't work either.

When i open it it just brings me to the main screen.

My setup is-

Sapphire pvt 32b ship s-on g

hboot-1.33.0006(sapp30000)

cpld-10

Radio-2.22.19.26I

128m linux swap, 512 ext4 class 6 8g card.

Ra amons recovery 1.5.2g

idk what else i need. I came from a HERO rom and everything was working fine.

I shouldn't have to manually update to 1.6 to use this rom right?

I was using a HERO rom based of 1.5 i believe.

Thats all i can think of for now.

Any help is appreciated.
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
There in may lie the problem for some. Installing hero roms puts a bunch of random folders in your fat32 partition that dont get used and cause problems with other roms. I suggest also wiping your fat32.

All the problems you mentioned are not happening to me. MArket works and updates... Tethering works... Gtalk works and is mostly allways runnung....
[G1 Android Development] Makavelifaison:
quick question, does this rom support the live wallpapers?
[G1 Android Development] drater:
yes it does, if you read the first post you would know that

[G1 Android Development] stevemartin1991:
ok i have had this rom running from day 1. woke up this morning and it wouldnt respond so pulled battery and turned back on kept bootlooping. so trying a fresh install again. grrrrrr just a warning
[G1 Android Development] stevemartin1991:
happilly flashed fine....now i have a major problem i am getting no signal. so thought id go to settings>mobile networks>network operators. so fine (im uk btw) i get the options orange,tmobile,o2,vodafone. clicked t-mobile and it comes up "your sim card does not allow a connection to this network" then tried the rest...was the same. any ideas as now have a useless "phone" haha.
[G1 Android Development] 1993cb7:
No i wiped the whole sdcard and repartitioned.

Can't be that.

The only other option is to reformat the sdcard but ive already got 1.6 up and running. Ill try again when this rom has an update.

Thanks everyone!
[G1 Android Development] electrolemon:
I never did actually get it working, but after watching the video of the boot from the first post, I think it's because I didn't wipe the SD's ext partition. I'm trying it now, but making sure I've got backups before I do.
[G1 Android Development] Six6Sicks:
Any ideas?

Full wipe/format sd

Fat32

Ext4

Linux-swap

Then this dandy of a message:

E:Can't chown/mod /system/xbin/busybox

(No such file or directory)

E:Failure at line 23:

set_perm 0 0 04755 SYSTEM:xbin/b

Installation aborted.

Any help?
[G1 Android Development] crunkcory:
So basically what you mean is like going back and setting your card up as ext3/linux swap again, starting fresh and then that should allow it to work?
[G1 Android Development] crunkcory:
I think its because its supposed to be fat32 ext3 and linux swap.
[G1 Android Development] Six6Sicks:
I'll try that but I don't think it would matter. As long as I have the ext 2/3/ or 4 I should be good. (Hope your right though)

I'll be back with results.
[G1 Android Development] resinous:
For MT3G do we need haykuro's spl or is default ok?
[G1 Android Development] crunkcory:
Im pretty sure you need the Haykuro SPL
[G1 Android Development] electrolemon:
No, I didn't have to re-set anything up. My SD card has been linux-swap formatted the same way since I first did it when I was running Cyanogen. All I did was, from the recovery, select an option that allowed me to wipe the system to factory settings, and also wipe the SD:ext partition. I'm using amon-ra's recovery, but you should be able to use Cyanogen's recovery.

And I finally got it to go to the setup screen. It took 4:45 (yeah, I timed it.) but it went. It even took 1:20 to get to the boot animation.
[G1 Android Development] crunkcory:
Yeah im working with a mt3g and im running Eclair 2.01 v1.0 fine with Haykuro Spl fat32 ext3 linux swap.

[G1 Android Development] crunkcory:
Would Alt+F repair ext filesystems be considered wiping the SD:ext partition? Thats from the cyanogen recovery
[G1 Android Development] electrolemon:
Can you fix the boot animation in the next update? It's not that big of a deal, but it bugs me, and the full, smooth animation is much more impressive/a better thing to show off to my "Look what iCan do" iPhone-owner friends. :)
[G1 Android Development] electrolemon:
I don't think so, but try it. If it doesn't work, install Amon-ra's recovery. In my opinion, it's better anyway. Sorry I can't be of more help.
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
he cut the animation in half to save space in /system, which is ideal
[G1 Android Development] crunkcory:
okay I googled it and that option is not the same. I will need to flash amon-ra's recovery onto my mt3g. I downloaded the .img file. Is there a certain way to flash it?
[G1 Android Development] Six6Sicks:
Got it booting now.

Must not have liked me adding all my audio files and yes, I re-signed and it still didn't work before.
[G1 Android Development] resinous:
anyone using this on MT3G without Haykuro's SPL?
[G1 Android Development] crunkcory:
Im using v1.0 with haykuro spl and running fine no problems.
[G1 Android Development] resinous:
I'm sure it is and that's fine, but I don't feel like flashing haykuro's spl since I just want to try this rom out and it's still just in its experimental stages. re-read my post.

edit: working fine without haykuro's spl :D tested it out myself. this rom has a lot of potential, good work devs!
[G1 Android Development] kntdookoo:
So, im liking this way more than cyan's current. I was having a few issues with his last release. This ROM has been so far 100% functional and faster than any I have flashed recently. WOW!! Good Job.

Slow swiping between screns

my swiping between homescreens is not very fluid/fast/smooth, is that normal for this build of the rom or is it a user error im experiencing?

Rest of the rom seems stable and fast besides homescreen switching, good work Manup and all contributors
