Here's the new Gallery...From what I can tell, its hardly usable on the G1 (with Ram hack). I've been able to get it to play slideshows, and flick through photos, but it takes forever to load up, and the actual fancy viewer doesn't seem to get enough Oomph to actually display anything. This may have something to do with the Ram hack, as it does take 10MB out of the video processing memory, so hopefully someone who doesn't have RAM hack could give it a shot and see if they have a better user experience.

Install instructs:

Simply unzip and copy Gallery.apk to SD Card, and install using any File Browser that has a built-in package installer.

If this doesn't work, you may need to replace the build.prop with one that says your phone is version 2.1. I have attached that here; just unzip it and copy to /sdcard/

Type these commands on either Terminal Emulator or adb:

su

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

busybox cp /sdcard/build.prop /system

busybox cp /sdcard/Gallery.apk /system/app

mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

reboot

I'm sure everyone would appreciate hearing whatever experiences you have with this Gallery...maybe JAC can incorporate it next update if we can figure out what needs to be ironed out to make it work fast :)
[G1 Android Development] snakeman65:
Running this on a htc magic without the ramhack and its still completely unusable for me unfortunately. I'm sure someone will work out why soon enough though!

How much RAM does CompCache allocates if I enable it via Spare Parts...?
[G1 Android Development] lotherius:
GRR!! Video will not play properly or at all on Eclair - this should have been posted as a known issue, I see a lot of people having the same problems now that I know it is a problem.

I have h.264 files that played *just fine* under 1.6, but now gives the error "this video cannot be played". This is a seriously broken feature of a phone like the G1, and puts Eclair back into the "toy" camp.
[G1 Android Development] nobleach:
Go find the CM rom. (go back to the list of posts and find the one like "no you can't have a pony") Download that, unzip it and find the LatinIME.apk file. It will be under /system/app

Use ADB to remove the current LatinIME.apk and then push the new one over. Reboot your phone and you'll have predictive options back.

I posted instructions a bit earlier in this thread.
[G1 Android Development] Frogzilla:
no i didn't - i've re-read some of the posts regarding this and didn't find any breadcrumbs - thanks for the info.
[G1 Android Development] tee aiy emm:
Turn it on and then do:

#free

in the terminal. It's under "Swap"
[G1 Android Development] Frogzilla:
I tried this way, and...

this way - each time i get "No Live Wallpapers found" - can someone point me to the gallery for the Live Wallpapers application?

your time is greatly appreciated.
[G1 Android Development] :
Thx... I had to nuked the user.conf and stuff from /system/sd to make Spare Parts' CompCache works...

It's 24MB... But how to tell the swappiness...?
[G1 Android Development] snakeman65:
If you don't copy the cube wallpaper as well it will say none found until you install some. There are quite a few available, both free and paid, on the market now.

The second set of instructions you quoted is for the new gallery app, not live wallpapers.
[G1 Android Development] :
you should post a separate how to thread, and add your resources so i can download the files
[G1 Android Development] :
anyone got a link to the nexus dump, i wanna pull the star field wallpaper
[G1 Android Development] evo9mrjr:
you da man
[G1 Android Development] evo9mrjr:
so can we use live wallpapers on this rom .... i think im missing something...
[G1 Android Development] tee aiy emm:
You need to follow the instructions from a few pages back to add it.
[G1 Android Development] Tydiz:
Haha, yeah; You and everyone else running the 2.1 ROMS...No body has been able to figure out how to chunck out the Live Wallpapers from the .apk that is on the Nexus One. I was messing with it yesterday, and it looks like the code they used for the .apk was all native code, but I don't see what they are using to run it. Its really, really weird lol.

Here's the xda thread:

1. Flash this rom and get it to running state

2. Download Manup's Rom (don't know if the picker is available elsewhere though it might be).

3. Connect phone

4. Run adb shell

5. Run the following:

cp /system/build.prop /sdcard

6. On the phone, choose to mount the sd card.

7. Find the build.prop on the sd card and edit it using your favourite text editor (notepad!). Change the following lines:

line2 from

ro.build.version.sdk=5

to

ro.build.version.sdk=7

line 4 from

ro.build.version.release=2.01

to

ro.build.version.release=2.1

save.

8. Open the manup rom zip which should have downloaded by now and copy

/data/app_s/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk to the sd card

Potentially copy

/data/app_s/CubeLiveWallpapers.apk as well if you want the cube wallpaper

9. On the phone unmount the sd card

10. Back to the command prompt (adb) run the following:

su

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

busybox cp /sdcard/build.prop /system

busybox cp /sdcard/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk /system/app

(if you want the cube as well)

busybox cp /sdcard/CubeLiveWallpapers.apk /system/app

mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

reboot

11. When your phone finishes booting go to wallpapers and there it is!

With xROM-Eclair-v1.0-Dark this not work:/Is this working only with xROM-Eclair-v1.0?
[G1 Android Development] Tydiz:
Works fine on mine. I'm running 1.0 Dark, and have the flying stars wallpaper from the market. Must be something you did wrong.
[G1 Android Development] tee aiy emm:
I can confirm. It works on 1.0 Dark.
[G1 Android Development] :
How I must: 6.On the phone, choose to mount the sd card?
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
get mountusb from market for quick mounting.
[G1 Android Development] Tydiz:
Or you could just drag the notification bar down and click Mount SD Card...I usually prefer this way :) BTW, don't try messing around with SuperUser while mounted...it does crash the system(no clue why :S). I got rebooted twice for doing this yesterday. Just make sure you unmount before going into SU
[G1 Android Development] evo9mrjr:
how is the beta version with the 10 mg ram hack is it noticeably better than the stock one i dont wanna waste my time if its not worth it anyone had any problems
[G1 Android Development] Tydiz:
It worked fine, but you might as well do 1.0 with Ram Hack; seeing that 1.0 is stable
[G1 Android Development] evo9mrjr:
where is the dark version cant find it

[G1 Android Development] Tydiz:
Go to page 42 of this thread for RAM Hack boot.img and terminal commands

For live wallpapers, go to page 50 of this thread. And seeing how I grabbed all this info from this thread, you probably could benefit from using the search button. Save us the headache of searching, when you are too ignorant to do it yourself.

How's the battery life? When I flashed Manups Ecliar build it sucked the juice right outta my battery within hours.
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
This version is way to big to fit onto the stock partition, i tried shrinking a eclair but it still was 50MB+.

Is this using the xrom launcher or the eclair one?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Stock launcher

Remember in the original xrom

JAC=The behind the scenes guy

Manup=Themer

Manup will probably theme the launcher later
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
But you have to remember he has his own eclair, is he also involved in this one?

He stated his invert themes will be ported over to eclair.
[G1 Android Development] Diceman4:
LOL, looks like someone doesn't approve of JAC's return... Funny cause I would much rather use a ROM that was built from source than something mix/match pieced together from a dump...

THANKS FOR THE ROM JAC!!!!!

Been waiting for someone to build a usable/stable eclair rom from CM git...
[G1 Android Development] M..N:
Could a version be made like the micro hero rom?
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Of course its possible, tmo was able to shrink it.There are useless folders in eclair roms that was taking up space. Not sure if the rom will function, as i noticed hero roms had the drawables-ported-480x320 then the regular drawable folder which wasnt even being used.
[G1 Android Development] kaotikking:
I would agree with u but I am an app hog, no less then 100 apps on my phone @ a time. Sure I kill 2 batteries a day but I love android that much!
[G1 Android Development] M..N:
Interesting so maybe if we find the uneeded files we could shrink down the rom.
[G1 Android Development] kaotikking:
Question

@ JAC i was wondering if u could inc. the droids gallery app into this ROM. I have the APK ported from 2.1 to work on 2.0.1 im just not savy enough to optimize it to work better for the G1 hardware. I only ask cuz the UI looks WAY better
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
It wont get that much faster since Nexus operates under a dragon while G1 has the MSK.
[G1 Android Development] senab:
Which version are you referring to? I've already tried the Flan gallery and it's sooooo slow on my G1. Main problem seems to be that it doesn't seem to use the same media scanner as the Donut/Eclair gallery therefore on boot up the app rescans all your pictures again, all whilst trying to power all those 3D effects. Even forcing the CPU minimum scaling to 528MHz can't power that thing!

Here's the Flan APK if anyone's interested: http://www.droiddog.com/android-blog/2010/01/flan-gallery-on-motorola-droid-w-2-0-1/
[G1 Android Development] trusteelfan:
Is there a recommended swap size? Or is it not used?
[G1 Android Development] shohid1234:
Same issue resolved with a reboot, great rom, appears stable and pretty fast, moved from manup and I think Im gona stay on this rom. Just a quick question, what version of facebook do I need to sync with contacts? the one off the market doesnt have any options to sync with contacts.

Overall great rom. Thanks JAC and will look forward to updates.
[G1 Android Development] kaotikking:
figured that... but XDA has worked miracles in the past... had to ask u kno :D
[G1 Android Development] kaotikking:
Im using the same exact one. I guess i have to wait for my nexus one
[G1 Android Development] senab:
Seems that the Nexus gallery is a commercial app by Cooliris, so almost zero chance of the source being made available :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] kaotikking:

[G1 Android Development] G1-evolve:

[G1 Android Development] M..N:
Anyone willing to have a go at getting this rom size down to fit on the stock spl?
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
Why don't you all post these instructions 100 more times. The truth is dream/magic hardware is way to limited for live wallpapers. Buy a Nexus and move on.
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
he asked for the instructions since he said he couldnt find them, i dont want a nexus and dont use LWP and i dont know what your problem is.
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
Check out the Nex^2us theme in my signature, it is a modified version of the black xROM in which I added the 10MB hack (bluetooth and wifi are both working :)), updated some icons, added custom notification icons, and switched out all of the orange with green.
[G1 Android Development] snakeman65:
My magic runs most of the free wallpapers from the market superbly with no lag or issues at all! I agree though that my instructions shouldn't need repeating. Maybe a direct link to the original post next time, like this:

[G1 Android Development] tee aiy emm:
fyi

Live wallpapers runs a bit slow on the G1, but I found that using the ram hack with 32mb linux swap 40 swappiness makes it a lot smoother. No compcache
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
Don't get me wrong, I myself used your instructions and installed the live walls just fine. I found that things get slower after a short time with the live walls loaded. With a static wallpaper all is fine. And yes, at least in my experience with them, they all seem to work very smoothly for a little while.

xROM Loop

Hi guys, this may be posted already, sorry if it has, but im not getting any futher with this rom. It keeps looping the Xrom Android logo (adb logcat doesn't tell me anything.)

[G1 Android Development] vn4114:
i wonder if it has to do with the nexus theme? it was fine before i changed to that theme. any ideas?

it happens during gchat most of the time, it reset 3 times in less then 30 mins when i was just using gchat/gtalk.
[G1 Android Development] dpruim:
Thanks for the tip, but no avail. It keeps looping
[G1 Android Development] Tydiz:
And you followed those steps exactly? Its important that everything is done exactly inline otherwise you will have problems
[G1 Android Development] dpruim:
Otherwise i've wouldn't even dare to reply. I copied the content of my SD to a backup location.

-Wiped (data / cache / dalvik / ext)

-Partitioned

-Fixed Ext2

-Wiped (data / cache / dalvik / ext)

-Flashed again

And it still looped.. sorry but my device just doesn't like this rom.. too bad because i probably do :(
[G1 Android Development] nobleach:
Are you mounting your phone as a storage device? That blocks your ability to use ADB.

Anyway, I imagine it goes something like this:

put the file on your SD card.

from the terminal:

mv /system/app/LatinIME.apk LatinIME.old

cp sdcard:LatinIME.apk /system/app/

reboot

I haven't tried it but it's pretty straight forward so it should work fine.
[G1 Android Development] Chahk:
~24-26MB, depending if you have the RAM hack installed or not. It's always a percentage of total memory.
[G1 Android Development] unthinkablehero:
I went through the same thing a couple of days ago. Here's exactly what I did.

1. backed up contents of sdcard

2. reformatted sdcard to fat32 from my computer

3. All done through Amon Ra 1.5.2 recovery image

- wipe everything

- repair ext filesystem

- partition sdcard with default values

- upgraded ext2 to ext3

- repair ext filesystem

- mounted sdcard and placed contents back on sdcard

- downloaded the rom again and placed on sdcard (my first download I

think may have been corrupted)

- flashed rom

I hope this helps you out. What screwed me up was that my sdcard was not formatted properly. Good luck... and seriously, by far, this is one of the best if not THE best eclair roms out there, especially with all the available hacks for it.

Anyone experiencing this? Is it maybe because of the video drivers?...I dunno. All of the videos worked fine in 1.6 (that's not much help to say though)

Hey guys,

Can you run a logcat while the phone is actually flashing the ROM? I finally put on my big boy underwear and got adb going. I want to find out (or somebody that knows what the hell they're looking at find out) what's causing this error I keep getting when I try to flash this.
[G1 Android Development] doalittledanse:
ya ive followed the sticky guide on here for adb and still cant get it working, i think its windows 7 or something.

for terminal, i think theres a mount command you have to do as well. ill try as soon as i reflash this rom

EDIT: when i try mv it says "failed on '/system/app/LatinIME.apk' - Cross-device link"
[G1 Android Development] dpruim:
Thanks for all the help everyone gave me, but i've given up. Like i said before this rom doesn't like my device or vice versa. I did everything you guys said but no luck. Again thanks but i'll play around with another.
[G1 Android Development] nobleach:
yep, you're right, I forgot to mention the adb remount command to throw the filesystem in to R/W mode.

concerning the error, instead of trying to be safe and create a backup, just issue a "remove" command.

rm -r /system/app/LatinIME.apk

then you can cp your new one.
[G1 Android Development] doalittledanse:
do you know what the mount command is? ive seen a couple different ones throughout different threads
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
Using adb

adb remount
[G1 Android Development] nobleach:
oh wow, in your context (from the terminal on your phone) no I'm sorry I don't...

mount -o remount,rw /

is how I do it on a normal linux box... that's worth a shot.

From your android terminal

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
