What is the best way of flashing this rom? Ive read through most of the pages saw some fixes/and other stuff...whats the best kernel to use? I really wish that more info was on the first page why its all scattered i dont know..I think this would be more popular/easier on a lot of others if it were organized on the first page...
[G1 Android Development] enemeone:
If you flash the rom then flash firerats aps2sd and then boot up you should be fine. I flashed it after installing apps and it worked for me no problem.
[G1 Android Development] wcdisciple:
I flashed v03 then v09 (no wipe update), then Firerat's patch.

It was like my phone was trying to get outta quicksand. Maybe I did something wrong.

I just reflashed v03 then v09 = no lag = no problems :cool:
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
hmm, to me it looks like pbcak
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
I edited above.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
yeah, legend is huge!!!

reboot will fix it now that a2sd knows that dalvik-cache is too big
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
yeah, still pbcak

ok, for one in recovery cache is back on /cache

have a look in /cache/system/bin/

did you modify the update-script in anyway?

if zip it and post so I can have a look
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
no mods, except that I removed the symlink of /data/system-framework SYSTEM:framework.

Uploading. And I can't look in there cuz I already wiped... sorry. I assume it was intact though, considering ls -la mentioned the mount point of csys. just a symlink problem... i think.
[G1 Android Development] wcdisciple:
i'll give it shot. just for the record (for everyone else's benefit) I wasn't trying to imply anything was wrong with your patch. You do great work and you've helped me alot (just by me reading and following instructions).

Thanks for everything.

:cool:
[G1 Android Development] lightninbug:
firerat i have a g1 with 320mb swap 850 mb ext4......will ur apps2sd patch help me? if so do u just download and flash like a rom? Thanx
[G1 Android Development] enemeone:
Im new at this so flashing firerats apps2sd patch it did nothing im confused :(
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
yea. nothing, cuz it's for mt3g only. if on g1, it bypasses the special code.
[G1 Android Development] enemeone:
should i reflash or is it ok. seems to be alright.

i went from 15mb of internal memory to 50
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
Firerat: http://www.mediafire.com/?mj3jyynjdyi

I'm leaving for chicago in an hour, I really should just flash CM and pack. Not much more today.
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
ur fine, it's just the same as before. maybe a little more managed for you, because that free space you got 15>50 is dalvik-cahce being moved to sd, to make more room for you. just leave it, you're pretty much getting optimal perforamnce that we've gotten working on the g1 so far.
[G1 Android Development] djdeviance:
firerats a2sd patch actually made my mt3g hang more than usual. I reflashed v09 and v091 and everything ran smooth as butta. Didn't need the firerat patch at all.
[G1 Android Development] enemeone:
thanks for the info trying to learn more about the android OS :)
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
right, having all of the dexes from dalvik-cache on sd could very well be slower. I'm running 0.9.1 with king kernel #8 right now and it flies. Thanks vega.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
it won't do anything new on a legend for a g1

the dalvik-cache is just too big

BUT my next release will help us g1s on Legends

I keep _some_ dalvik-cache on data ;)
[G1 Android Development] djdeviance:
Does the king #8 kernel still have the full 3d weather?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
with the Legend roms, no :(

not yet, but I have plans

Eris, and any eclair, yes :)

I keeps dalvik-cache on data, untill its too big

at the moment , its all or nothing

but I will get it to prioritise core system apps, and maybe later include some kind of user config to add apps to the priority list
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
lol, i did mean just the update-script :)
[G1 Android Development] stevetigersix:
did u flash kings kernel over the top of vega 0.9 and 0.9.1 also what sd set up you running have you got a link for kings #8 kernel
[G1 Android Development] Garner:
what does this testcache do?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
probably just gets stuck

I'm going to have a quick look
[G1 Android Development] Garner:
lol it does on the hrtc screen?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
not looked yet
[G1 Android Development] stevetigersix:
so hopefully if im right if i flash the vegalegend 0.9 then straight away the 0.9.1fix then kings #8 kernel ( the zip supplied by firerat )this rom should speed up a bit on a uk mt3g 32b? ive done rom flashing before but never mucked about with different kernal so sorry if this is a n00b question but some advice would be appreciated !:rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] kelvin216:
Is anyone else using this rom on the g1 having problems trying to send mms messages out cause I'm not able to
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
don't forget

FireratModified-a2sd-2-1-1_S.zip

stop your mt3g from emulating a g1 with broken keyboard
[G1 Android Development] stevetigersix:
where should i slot this into the flashing lol also firerat any perticular sd card set up?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
as long as its not the first it should be ok

to make sure, do it last

and card setup doesn't matter

the first swap partition it sees, it uses as swap

it writes to the config, just in case someone decides to run the 'swap' script

and it just skips ext partitions

Oh, it will put your apps back on internal memory for you, so you can flash it to any rom ( that uses a2sd ) at any time
[G1 Android Development] adelco93:
so flash rom, without wipe or reboot flash your update, then boot
[G1 Android Development] stevetigersix:
many thanks

Thanks for the advice firerat, kudos

edit update

ok flashed and setup the only thing ive noticed is i get no signal variant showing up ie no g,e,3g,h etc is this a known issue? is there a fix?
[G1 Android Development] maxon25:
Hi there, if you dont mind me asking, where did you get king #8 kernel from? could you post a link?.

Also does LegendCacheHackDangerOnlyFixes-0-3-1_S work with vodafone magics? i flashed 0.9, 0.9.1fix, LegendCacheHackDangerOnlyFixes-0-3-1_S but i get update aborted....any reason why? much appreciated for any help.
[G1 Android Development] maxon25:
Hi, you have to leave it for abit, it takes a while for network to show (H,3g,g) etc but it does work
[G1 Android Development] Babyface1249:
Firerat, searched for a few minutes and couldn't find the kernel #8 update you posted. I only found the cachehacked version. Can I flash the cachehacked kernel to a non-cachehacked version of the rom or is that asking for trouble? If I can't flash it can you recall whereabouts the non-CH kernel is? Thanks as always
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
argghh

ok , I love CacheHack, its kewl

but, lets not take over Vega's thread with it

tracking one ROM is bad enough , we don't really want two in one thread

the cache hack stuff can't be used on Vega's 0.9

not without a little tweaking..

at the moment I'm finishing something off..

then I will try to put something like a 'walk through' together

and yes, cacheHack can be used on Magics, but.... you won't really gain anything speed wise, just use my a2sd and you will have the same performance as a cachehack
[G1 Android Development] Cal-El:
Same as me. Are you repartioning your SD card before running the nand backup?
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
run nandroid-mobile.sh via console error here as well...

biohazard guy, what recovery/what method did you use?
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
hm... I'll try that. Does size of partitions matter? If so, how big was your EXT?
[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
God dammit. xD I used Amon-Ra's 1.6.2 I put the nandroid files in my own nandroid folder doubt it will make a diff.

btw Cal, are you getting smooth swaps between home?
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
yea me too... did you repartition before flash of nandroid?
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
am still on my second reboot as I let it sync and sit a bit, I can see so far run smooth and tested for call with little to no lag one ring perhaps

reboots really fast tho
[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
Nope all I did was wipe.
[G1 Android Development] Cal-El:
Ext 4 512mb, 160 swap, the rest FAT 32. :)
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
very nice.

What were your partition sizes biohazard guy?
[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
96mb swap,3gb ext4 and rest is fat32

btw is it just fun calling me biohazard guy or is it really hard to remember "proto" xP
[G1 Android Development] Cal-El:
Yea, I am using taskiller and it auto closes apps on screen off so it stays pretty fast. Swipes are smooth as a babies bottom lol. :)
[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
What's your swap size mine is 96mb ._.' I NEED SMOOTH SWAPS TO LIVE
[G1 Android Development] deuse:
I have wiped and re-partioned twice and still the same..

so it's a no go for my G1.
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
both :)

Hm... my ext is only 256, but the ext2.tar file IN the nandroid is only 90 megs, extracted... i'll try again after repartition. this is really odd, nandroid always works!
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
me too. I'll let you know when I finally get it working.

protomanez, his swap is 160.

even after repartition, my nandroid still don't work...
[G1 Android Development] Cal-El:
160 swap. I live dangerous. :p

Biohazard guy lol! Good times good times.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Just so you know the renicing is working :D
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
omg. Oh my god. i am downloading now. God i hope your reading this. I love you.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Why would you go up to 160? That will slow the rom down so much
[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
Woooooooooooooooooo, wait what?
[G1 Android Development] maxon25:
OK cheers mate, thanks for reply. Will the kings #8 kernel make it any faster? if it will could you post a link to get it? if it makes a big difference then it would be muchappreciated.

Anyone know where i can get RA- 1.5.2 recovery? im using recovery RA-v1.3.2g. thanks! Oh and top rom by the way, so far it runs really well, only has a little delay in it but hey its big improvment over the old hero roms when they first come about lol
[G1 Android Development] MotoMudder77:
Flashed your .9.1 update, running kings btw. But I lost my flipclock w/ weather widget. any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] smjfosho:
reboot

[G1 Android Development] MotoMudder77:
Very wierd. widget wasnt even listed untill after reboot. Thanks man! and Thanks Vega for your clock fix.
[G1 Android Development] art010606:
just now flashing, just to make sure, .9 is a base correct? so flash 0.9 then 0.9.1 is no wipe update
[G1 Android Development] vegaman:
That's it :)
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
I thought it was just a glitch with the CacheHack I was doing

sometimes Launcher doesn't 'pickup' the widgets

After it has settled down, try this

in term , or via adb shell

rm -rf /data/data/com.htc.launcher/*
killall -HUP com.htc.launcher

that's removed the launchers settings, and restarted it

it should hopefully rebuild with all your widgets

if that doesn't work try a full wipe , and flash but leave it for a few minutes after you get to the lockscreen, then do the full sign in

It's not worked 100% for me, but it does seem to increase the chances of it working
[G1 Android Development] art010606:
firerat, sent you a pm. let me know.

and any special info for first time flashers of this like on kings rom? let it set for 15 min before sign in? jump up and down 3 times or you get fcs all over the place on gaps?
[G1 Android Development] vegaman:
I normally let it sit a few minutes or the setup can be a little slow, these legend rom's have a lot to load compared to others.
[G1 Android Development] enatefox:
I had the missing widget issue, noticed the clock specifically, flashing the update on King's Legend port too. A reboot did fix it though for me.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
lol, yeah something like that

post above and below yours ;)

do as Vega says, if it don't stick then try the delete and hup thing

ideally wait till logcat doesn't seem to be doing anything interesting
[G1 Android Development] kemimarie:
too lazy to search this whole rom ..

does camera and video work on this rom??
[G1 Android Development] MotoMudder77:
Reboot fixed it for me also. It was just the clock widget that was missing too. Strange to me, but I'm a Noob.
[G1 Android Development] art010606:
video doesnt. no drivers yet.

did you read your pm firerat?
[G1 Android Development] kemimarie:
thanks :)

guess i gotta keep looking ..
[G1 Android Development] vegaman:
Video is working fine in 0.9.1, without the problem of it being dark as well.
[G1 Android Development] jcabor:
when flashing the ROM I get an installation aborted. it said something about busy box. sorry I forgot what it said exactly. :/

any help is appreciated.

[G1 Android Development] bestwebs:
HI,

Video playback works but still no sound in the camcorder?

Or is that working in .91?

Great work vegaman.

:)
[G1 Android Development] vegaman:
Camcorder is currently only working with no sound, but video playback works fine.

If you're on a G1 are you running danger spl? You'll hit errors like that if it runs out of space on /system
[G1 Android Development] jcabor:
nope, I'm on a mt3g 32b.

swap size 128mb.
[G1 Android Development] nicknowsky:
I dunno bout everyone else but 0.3 by far the best SenseUI based ROM ever. i flashed 0.9 last nite, and it didnt last more than a hour, it was so slow and unresponsive compared to 0.3. I mean 0.3 is some super crazy FAST SenseUI ROm, i dunno Vega, I really think you should look at 0.3 and take the setting from that and implement them into another ROM with the youtube and ur recent fixes. Im serious its a freakin superior ROM
[G1 Android Development] nicknowsky:
and since we are talking bout SWAP I'm using myTouch 3g with 96mb SWAP, and its FAST totally usable at 96mb at least witht0.3 it is
[G1 Android Development] kenny111008:
i have only 3mb left on system how can i get a2sd or more memory or something btw im on 0.9
[G1 Android Development] DarkOne951:
This thing is actually pretty good for a beta release.

[G1 Android Development] kboater:
i have not flashed this since Vega first started working on it. i think the last version i used was a while ago, like v .3 beta. lol

anyway, i wanted to try it again, i flased the .9 then .91, then firerats zip for mytouch... its finally up and running. problem im having is i cant get the the weather to display info for my location. it wont let me put it in my location. may have somthing to do with the setup when it made me pick english (uk), as there was not english us...? any help with this?

any other suggestions? i have not read through this whole thread.

btw, im on mt3g. class 6 sd with 128 swap and no partition...
[G1 Android Development] Babyface1249:
Loving the new v0.9.1. Speed it blowing me away. Swipes are smooth, responsive, and the opening and closing of apps seems to be faster too. Awesome work vega for the rom, and Firerat for your a2sd, among other fixes
[G1 Android Development] kboater:
this thing is def not running right, lots of freezes and FC's. lots of freezes... any suggustions.

since i have mytouch, i dont use apsd, so i dont have ext partition. but do have swap. should i repartition and use an extention, swap, reflash? if so, flash .9, .91, and firerats zip?
[G1 Android Development] vegaman:
Have you flashed anything to change the a2sd? Because if you haven't, the swap won't be working, and this rom won't run well at all with no swap.

Here's a link to my no-wipe update for MT3G with no ext partition.
[G1 Android Development] kboater:
it says link not valid... do you have another>

also, will that help me with the fc and not being able to set the weather to my location?
[G1 Android Development] bestwebs:
Hi,

I had the same problem.

Flash this

New Version 2.1

FireratModified-a2sd-2-1_S.zip

This one has the functions in the right place, so they *will* do something

When your phone has less than 10 megs memory on the g1, reboot and the dalvik-cache is moved to sd.

I have now 79 megs of free memory on my G1.

:)
[G1 Android Development] vegaman:
Strange, copied it straight from the 4shared desktop program and it does seem to be invalid.

This one's from the site http://www.4shared.com/file/247801666/54a523eb/a2sd-off-signed.html and is working I edited the post above as well.
[G1 Android Development] kboater:
ok thanks, will try now.

so do i flash .9, then .91, then firerats zip, then this?

just want to make sure i have the order correct.

btw, since im on mytouch, i dont need ext partition correct?
[G1 Android Development] vegaman:
I haven't looked at firerats update yet, so I'm not sure what it does. I've done it with just .9 .91 and then the one I just linked. And yes, no ext with that patch.
[G1 Android Development] kboater:
wow, that fixed it a lot. thanks

anyway to get it to not show double contacts? right now showing sim and phone. so 2 for each entry... I remember this being a problem with some of the first 2.1 sense's. any way to fix it now?
[G1 Android Development] kenny111008:
thanks.. so how do i go about installing this? like do i reflash everything and then restore my apps or do i just do this on top of my already flashed rom and restored apps??
[G1 Android Development] Garner:
Firerat

morning Firerat did you get chance to look at that testcache rom that I mentioned last night?
[G1 Android Development] bestwebs:
HI,

Download this file and flash it in recovery.

Don't wipe.

When your phone gets below 10 megs in memory, reboot.

This only installs firerat's modified app2sd script.

:)
[G1 Android Development] stevetigersix:
a little buggy glitch need help to fix

hi guys just a quickie ive flashed vegas 0.9 then 0.9.1 then the zip supplied by firerat for kings #8 kernel than firerats modified a2sd.2.1.1.s as im on a uk mt3g everythings running quite well except for one issue, the weather animation when using the clock with built in weather doesnt show the animation it shows blocks of black, i know this was an issue before and got solved but i cant find a fix for it, any ideas anyone?
[G1 Android Development] djosiah:
thats easily fixable.

1) go to people in app drawer

2)press menu

3)press view

4)uncheck sim contacts or google contacts (whichever one you want to hide)

hope this helps

Questions and Observations....

First off, I'd like to thank you Vega for a smooth ROM. I've been flashing ROM's like itz goin outta business for a long time now. I've come across some Rom's (don't wanna mention names of some devs) that no matter what I did, I'd still get the fc's, htc's, and loading screens when hitting the back button just to exit a program.

I have not experienced this with your ROM. Well, that is until I started running low on memory. But that has nothin to do with your ROM. You really did a great job. And for the "Legend" to be as large as it is and running as smooth as it is, is why I take my hat off to you.

For those having problems w/ fc's and other stuff of that nature, make sure you guys wipe everything, have correct swap, sd card is partitioned correctly etc.

Vega, what I'm now trying to do is work on memory.

I have a 16g sd card. As of now my stats are as follows:

Sd Card Total Space: 9.12gb

Available Space: 7.21gb

Internal Phone Storage: 8.64mb

As I'm sure you've surmised by now, I'm getting the "low on space" notification. I have a gazillion apps also. The thing is I'm sure I'm not utilizing my sd card the way I should as far as partitions are concerned. Could I get a suggestion on partition sizes I should use?

Being that I'm sure some of those apps went to Internal memory, how can I move them to the sd card to make space on the phone?

I addressed my problems to Vega, but if there is anyone that can be of assistance I'd appreciate it.

One last thing. I understand the cache-hack will not work on v9 and up (v9.1) at the moment. And Firerat's a2sd-2-1 is of no use to G1 users. Am I correct in this assessment? Is there anything I can do to free up space as far as scripts or zips are concerned?

Thanks everyone.

Location & instructions to implement King's #8 Kernel?

Hi guys,

I totally wiped my phone and repartitioned my SD card last night (13Gb Fat32, 850Mb Ext4, 128Mb Swap) and installed Vega's 0.9.1 the Youtube patch and then Firerats Apps2sd. I love the Sense UI but man this thing is running like its in molasses.. everytime I do something I have to give the phone like 60 seconds to catch-up with whatever it was I was doing.. really unusable in this state IMHO. Can someone for the love of Mike please post a link to the Kings #8 kernel along with a line or two as to how to install it? Does this really help make this ROM usable?

Thanks!!!
[G1 Android Development] Viper87227:
Still doesn't seem stable enough for full time use. It worked great for me for the first hour or two. As I started getting my phone back up to par, it went south on me fast. At one point my phone did a hard rest, and after that it was terribly slow.

This rom has tons of potential, and Ill probably reflash it with every update, but I don't think it's ready for full time use yet.
[G1 Android Development] wcdisciple:
Sometimes a re-wipe and fresh install can help. maybe you guys should try that. It's helped me on a few ROM's. But hey, everyone isn't going to have the same experience. Maybe it's not the ROM. Maybe it's your phones. We have have to consider wear & tear with all the flashing and "stress" we put on these sd cards. Just food for thought. And I've got all kinds of widgets up.

:cool:

BTW, mine is more than "stable" than a ranch full of horses. Get it? "Stable"? "Horses"? "Ranch"?

hahahahahahahhahaha
[G1 Android Development] vegaman:
I'm a bit busy at the moment, but hopefully someone else can help. One of firerat's scripts should move dalvik-cache to sd once it gets too large (which is the problem you'll be running into on a G1), it was discussed earlier in the thread, hopefully you can find a link or someone can point you to it. I'll have to look over his scripts properly and address this problem in the next update.

Edit: Also, not sure if anyone noticed, but one thing I'm very happy about now is battery life - I've only used 30% in 30 hours.
[G1 Android Development] wcdisciple:
Being that we have the same size sd card, I think I'll borrow ur schematics. hehehe

Question though....when u repartitioned ur card did that erase ur card? Or just "repartition" the card without disturbing the data? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] Garner:
I have and had no force closing on the launcher aswell which is mint well done vegaman this is my most stable legend rom that i use for everyday use. Really cant wait for your next release.
[G1 Android Development] krohme:
first of all this rom is awesome Vegaman! the UI is fantastic and the link provided above helpled me with the same issue (constant freezes and HTC loading screens). Now this rom works faster, no HTC loading screens so far! I was wondering if anyone here knows any other tricks or methods of enhancing speed and performance even further, i.e through spare parts or other settings apps.

thanks again V.
