This might help some of you...

its easy to do... just follow the instructions and run the firerat patch... i have mine saved to the root of my sd card as patch.txt, after that all you have to do is go into terminal and type:

su
sh /sdcard/patch.txt swap

(pressing enter after each line of course)

but on a side note... this rom is awesome... however, i dont know if its the difference between mt3g and a g1, but i have a mt3g (original 32b) and it definitely needs swap to run at full speed. compcache doesnt allow the multitasking to work, if it does... its like two apps at a time. i enabled swap through swapper 2... and made sure to run the firerat patch... then, in swapper 2 i have my settings at 96mb w/ 60 swappiness... and i left the swap partition option in settings unchecked. im getting zero lag while running 5 to 6 apps at a time... i usually use quickdesk (coolest app ever!) to hop back and forth between, handcent, dialer, operamini, and armored strike... hope this helps some of you out... oh, and for those of you who didnt read the first post... make sure run the

su
fix_permissions

after you install all your apps, this thing is flying!!!!!

my only request good sir, is to finish up the theming... get rid of the greens and oranges and blues (i.e. email, gmail, dialer, main app icons, etc)

but other than that, keep up the good work Chromer! :D:D
[G1 Android Development] Aznneedlovetoo:
What swap would you suggest if I use swapper2? (32, 64 or 96?)

I totally agree, get rid of the oranges and red on this rom it doesn't really match the rom and it really looks ugly. :(

Other than that dude thanks for making these speedy stable ROMs

your killing it!
[G1 Android Development] Michaelr219:
96mb with 60 swappiness
[G1 Android Development] ultra spikey:
What dialer is in this?
[G1 Android Development] bradleyG:
nope, haha. i had to wipe and everything from 2.1, i hadn't been on here for a while and i really like the chromatic ROMs :)
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Its the eclair dialer....as far as I know.
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Yep next release, forgot to do that for this one. Sorry :(

back it up here buddy, Firerats patch is included in /system/sd/fr-patch133.txt so if you need to run any of the commands (besides FB, and all the other ones initiated by the start up script, you can just use that location to do it (see OP)

Also Fix_permissions is running automatically on first boot now. :) With the G1 I can have 6 open apps and MT works just fine with only CC and no swap. Must be a difference in our devices :)

Correct!
[G1 Android Development] Michaelr219:
lol, i know good sir... but for some who are reading inclined, i figured id help out... its easier for me to keep the patch on my card... plus, its less to type in terminal :D

but keep up the good work, i just tried superbad... and it isnt as fast as this!!!

kinda laggy in comparison, same setup... im gonna play with it a bit more, but i think i might be coming back over to this one

Portland Meetup

Hi errrbody

If you are in the Pacific Northwest we are getting a meetup together in Portland OR.

Check the link for info!

http://chromatic.r00t.la/meetup.html
[G1 Android Development] blackvyper:
I love your ROM's.. been with you since 3.5 (not too long). I was just wondering if you could toss in a different dialer in your next ROM? Whatever you cook up I'll be glad to test it out!
[G1 Android Development] hayabusa03rx:
does anybody know what clock "op" is using?.....thxs
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Retro clock :) Will be including Biffbiffbiff's fancy widget inverted in the next release. because its sick! http://bit.ly/d6REHw
[G1 Android Development] Aznneedlovetoo:
And when is this new update planning on getting released? :D
[G1 Android Development] Mr. Moe:
Dang a little to far south for me. I am on Whidbey Island in Washington. I definitely would love to have been at this Meet N Greet.
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Sometime next week we will have another drop :)
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Bummer! Would like to see everyone out!

Install "Dialer One" from market and free. It is the only SmartDialer I have found that can be configured to work correctly...

1) A Smart Dialer should always display call log with all contacts who have never been called alphabetically at the bottom. T9 keys filter that same list.

2) T9 keys should search through any part of the name or number. Therefore I can bring up any contact by typing the first few letters of the first name, the first few letters of the last name, the 3-digit areacode, or any part of the 7-digit number.
[G1 Android Development] Bulgaro:
Coming through, just looking for the Papa John's Pizza Ad ;-)
[G1 Android Development] lordofsilence:
I have been having the same "party in your pocket'' issue too.
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
I was having the same problem with any build based on Cyan for a while... Then I went into every music players settings I had and found that the new music mod and the regular music player have a setting for "start playback when headphones are removed" Which I think is ridiculous, but just click that off. Fixed it for me.

It was great when id walk into work, pause my Slipknot, take out the headphones and as Im walking by my boss Slipknot starts blaring again. I especially have that problem if I have Mixzing installed on top of the stock player.
[G1 Android Development] robkoehler:
I have that unchecked, and I hadn't have it happen in a long time (test 3 out something). I also haven't been able to reproduce it either. I'll post again if I find anything.
[G1 Android Development] phillmiester:
Whenever i select the 'accounts and sync' option in settings, the phone reboots :S anyone else having this problem?
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Awesome info crypy! I need to get a FAQ together and between you and G1forfun I think we have a good start! Thanks for your contributions!
[G1 Android Development] Aznneedlovetoo:
Great job with 3.7 loving it!

I don't need to Check compcache if I use swap and install firerats patch correct?
[G1 Android Development] castaway1:
i hat random restarts when phone just sit and do nothing. I think this is global problem with 5.0.8based roms becouse peoples with SuperBad 1.7 report it too-maybe some other 5.0.8 based roms i didnt check it yet.
[G1 Android Development] ftruck90:
yeah i had it happen when i first started using chrome and then it was fine then it randomly started happening today after being fine for ages. from what i noticed it only started happening once my battery was low so could be low power coming from the battery on the overclocked undervolted kernel and it's just not getting enough juice. I haven't seen it restart whilst on charging. I'll test out a few scenarios and see if i can figure out whats causing it and go from there.
[G1 Android Development] slayor721:
still no luck..

so ive been tryin to look for a way to fix that market problem but still no luck :(

i havent tried the new version of ur ROM yet, i still have to. but anyone who was havin that market problem, do u still have it after flashin Chromatic 3.7?

damn man this problem is a pain in the A$$. lol
[G1 Android Development] paulsan:
Loving the rom, best out there. Only problem I have is with com2us games, they install fine but when u start to play them about 20 seconds in it closes down and goes back to home screen. No FC or any error. This happens with any CM5.0.8 roms. Any ideas why this happens?
[G1 Android Development] Indianbuddha:
Great Rom! Keep it up Chromatic!
[G1 Android Development] yohshua:
i just wanted to start off by saying great work the rom is really quick and so far i love it runs nice and smooth thought the only problem iam having is that the camera app dosent want to open anymore it says can not connect to camera and then i tryed replaced the camera apk with one from 5.0.8 stock and now i get camera has stoped unexpectedly it was running fine the first day and this is my 2nd day on it any help would be great ^_^
[G1 Android Development] Aznneedlovetoo:
Did you try to Fix the permissions?
[G1 Android Development] yohshua:
yes i did i even re flashed with a clan wipe it worked for a while then the same then i re flashed on top again fixing permission each time and still the same
[G1 Android Development] he3:
Heheh clan wipe... Script by Jessie Jackson. Jk =]
[G1 Android Development] yohshua:
you think i should clean wipe again lol i just noticed you were commenting on my misspelling lol anyways i re flashed again another clean wipe
[G1 Android Development] asb123:
Chormer, do you knoe why 3d intensive games (like hockey nation and speedx) do not work?
[G1 Android Development] castaway1:
every morning when i wake up after 6-7hours i find it at PIN code screen...and i let it all night on charger.I hapen to me too with 90% battery when i was in work and let phone sit 8hours.It is weird but i think it happen only when phone do nothing long time when i play with it it never happen.
[G1 Android Development] Jnoc:
I just want to make sure my phone is ok and i didn't do something wrong.

I'm getting an Energy Star screen before my boot screen after i flashed this rom, is that normal or did i do something wrong?
[G1 Android Development] noodles2224:
Hey chromersmith, great rom but any chance on having the sms notification a little light gray like gmail is so its visual on the notification bar?? Thank you.
[G1 Android Development] ftruck90:
Yeah that's just the bootanimation.
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Tried this Rom "for fun" after using 5.08 since when it was out. What can I say... I am seriously as impressed as I am amazed. Can't understand how much of an improvement it is. Whatever you have changed, it works!

This Rom runs very very nice (with 64MB Swap). Can't stop playing with it! :cool:

Thanks a lot, can't wait for 3.8! :D

P.S. Only minor thing I really dislike is the white progress bar and other white "things". Sometimes this makes things very hard to see. A shade of grey (or orange as it was before...) has a much better visibility/readability.
[G1 Android Development] Coniac:
I'm stuck on the G1 logo and can't get passed it..

Wiped the SD wiped everything, upgraded Radio and still nothing.

Dropped 1.6 on it and flashed and the phone booted up fine, re-wiped and re-flashed to this rom and it still won't boot..

Suggestions??
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
So you have a G1 since you said your stuck at the G1 logo.

What SPL are you running?
[G1 Android Development] Coniac:
Thanks upgraded SPL and now everything is working!

Haven't messed with this G1 in a while.
[G1 Android Development] bosna110:
3.8 is WIP :) its going to be released soon i hope. I will be releasing my own roms as well starting wit froyo. It will be very light and will not be heavily modded.. It will be used for long lasting battery life and speed. Let me know if anyone wants to help. Send me a PM
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
No offense dude, but I think I am on here enough to let people know when the next release is coming. This is the 2nd time you have used my thread to self promote, once before asking for donations. Please, if you want to start your own ROM feel free! Just keep the topics relative to Chromatic on this thread please!
[G1 Android Development] wkustu:
Chrom, you are the raddest dev! Not only cooking the best ROMs, but SUPER respectful of the community. Appreciate it, bro. Mega clicks from me.
[G1 Android Development] bosna110:
Chromatic, Im sorry for trying to be rude. And no i would never try to even self-promote. If I wanted to do it i would do it a different manner. But please excuse me if i have caused any possible harm to you and you're peers. I just love you're rom so much, i just had to say it.. I just keep anticipating it so much. I just love it.. I cant just go back to CYANOGEN. well i still like his roms so much but yeh. Once again i sencerely apologize for trying to ruin you're work. Appology accepted?
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Apology accepted. Thanks for the support. I wasn't trying to be a jerk. I hope you know, just trying to keep it on topic is all :)
[G1 Android Development] sonhando:
e....why I can't install the brut14 map?:( says "app not installed"

I delete the map.apk from system/app and use brut14 replace it renamed Map.apk then I can't use it and reinstall the google maps
[G1 Android Development] suncityrk:
does 3.7 has battery issues drains in 1 day w/o wifi or 3g, 3.1 last better...
[G1 Android Development] bosna110:
Yeh, i got it. I aint tryen to self-promote. Im just sayen. But once again, you probably took it the wrong way and that is where i crossed the line. I will try to be more careful next time. Thank you for letting me use you're roms. All i can say is that they are kick ass
[G1 Android Development] couped:
I noticed since I upgraded to 3.7 that the battery drain has increased significantly. I believe 3.5 or 3.6 ran much better, in respect to drain.

Still this mod is incredible! Respect all the hard work you and everyone puts into these mods!
[G1 Android Development] valkenmaster:
The weather won't update after install 3.7, not in a weather and toggle widget or in the app news and weather. I think that the g1 not recognize my location. Do you think it's a bug in your rom? Sorry for my bad english.
[G1 Android Development] HeinzEgger:
just updated from your 2.1 version to 3.7 without wipe, everything fine so far, absolutely no problems ;-)

cheers and keep up the good work!
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
I noticed this also.

But the gps seems to work okay in maps.
[G1 Android Development] sbdags:
No battery drain problems here. Last charged the phone on Friday afternoon. Picked it up again this morning and it was on 74%. :D

I suspect people with battery drain have some app running in the background or are seeing their battery coming to the end of its life.

Anyway - any chance the next update will fix the phone mute issue? I hit it with my ear every single call. :mad: Drives me mad. ;)
[G1 Android Development] bosna110:
yeah, i can agree with couped... The battery does drain a lil way too much even with OC at 528 and almost never going higher then 578.. and well im on 2g (works best for batt. life) and gps off and all the stuff.. (i never use the interenet or Maps so i always have that disabled.) so i dont know what the culprit is. I will do some investigating. Hopefully i can find something that will fix it
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
with 3.7 I've noticed the best battery life of any CM5 rom yet for me. After a good battery wipe and full discharge and recharge, I'm seeing 30 percent battery left after a full day's use. Normally would need a little recharge before the day is up.
[G1 Android Development] Michaelr219:
+1 battery is a year old and still strong
[G1 Android Development] xsteven77x:
Not to be ridiculous but can someone please tell me what the letters/numbers are to make the clock white(not black) and which one is it that i change in the list? Thank you :)
[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
Just right-click this, and save it as an XML. Then put it on your SD card, go into Spare Parts, import it, reboot, and you are done.
[G1 Android Development] barb44:
desktop wallpaper

anybody knows where the rom's desktop wallpapers are located ? Trying to save this particular one (grey clouds with brilliantly lit moon) ?
[G1 Android Development] suncityrk:
3.7 no background application running, gps & data disabled overnite drains 60% this was not the case with older version!
[G1 Android Development] sbdags:
Well something must be draining it as I left mine for more than 48 hours with no data or gps and it drained only 26%. :confused:
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
Did you do a battery wipe and full drain and charge?
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Nothing changed as far as battery usage is concerned, I would recommend wipe battery stats, let it drain until it dies then recharge for 8+ hours then re-wipe battery stats.

Sweet!

hmmm, I am not having that issue with news and weather widget. I did see an issue when using weather channel app and N&W together though....

Mute issue: I don't know, we may have to go back to the slider style, not sure what I can do to fix it, I will keep an eye out for better layouts in phone.apk

You will actually get better battery using 3g if its available. Everything that pulls data has to work harder (and thus drain the battery more) when running on a 2G network. With that logic, I see awesome battery being on WiFi all day. as strange as that sounds :)

I added a zip to the download page for all the wallpapers:

http://chromatic.r00t.la/
[G1 Android Development] rpmccormick:
For me at least, in most new roms including 3.7 which I am on now, even if I leave WiFi always enabled, it will never connect unless I am actively using the phone. Therefore, if you are talking about battery drain when the phone is in your pocket, I don't think WiFi being on or off makes a lick of difference.

As for drain while actively using the phone, at my house I switch between 2G and 3G which drains the heck out of it and makes it run slow, so WiFi on is much nicer on battery and the fastest. If I have good 3G it will save the battery much more than using WiFi and is not all that slower. I cannot speak to solid 2G or running 2G-only mode vs. solid 3G on battery... I have been told both ways (3G better on batt?, 2g-only is best?).

The only thing that really has a huge impact on battery drain is switching back and forth from 3G to 2G though. ...or actively using WiFi for hours.
[G1 Android Development] sbdags:
In the settings here is an option to force touch phone controls . It is turned on but it is greyed out. I just need to turn this off. It will stop the mute button appearing. Can you investigate why it is greyed out please. In Cyanogen roms I can uncheck it and problem solved ;)
[G1 Android Development] kwrose14:
No Battery Issues Here

I have been using this ROM for 2 weeks now and it is the best I have used, and I have been a longtime cyanogen and enoch supporter. This is nice an smooth, no FC's and I just went 2 days without having to charge it, and thats after using the maps, phone, text and other apps.

This ROM is awesome and cant see myself changing off of it.

Who needs froyo when this one moves just as fast and everything is working!

Keep up the awesome work.

Neocore

For some reason, my Neocore scores are ridiculously low. Like 3 fps. I was getting 22-25 before 3.7
[G1 Android Development] 1024k:
Another request: what color do you use for battery percentage?

I can't find a nice color over grey (battery) and black (background).
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Same here... Also no idea why this is. Other (3D) games/apps run fine.
[G1 Android Development] 1024k:
Don't know if it's a bug but I can see contact's picture in the call log only if I scroll it up and down.
[G1 Android Development] ThaBadBoy:
I can see my contact pictures in the call log just fine without having to scroll.
[G1 Android Development] domex2k:
Best damm 2.1 out there, don't worry im clicking away at them ads.:D
[G1 Android Development] xjjjay:
Not sure if this is a problem with this rom, tried it for the first time today. My home button doesn't work... Period. It turns on LED's and wakes up the phone, but nothing else.

Also, I don't have a lockscreen. I've played with the menuunlock app... nothing's working. The hard buttons simply bring me to my launcher, from sleep.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Okay if you flash a rom and you have major issues like this.....you should wipe and reflash.....Period. ;)
[G1 Android Development] xjjjay:
So I take it this isn't a common issue?

I did come from a full wipe... not sure what the problem is :S
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Correct...the home button not working and not having a lock screen are signs of a corrupt flash.

You need to wipe everything and reflash. If that doesn't work...delete the .zip you downloaded and download it again...Then wipe everything and reflash. If that doesn't work then repartition the sdcard and then wipe everything and flash.

Report back when you get it working.
[G1 Android Development] xjjjay:
Sounds reasonable, i'll just start by repartitioning. Also, I'm not getting any swap partition... same issue? Workin on it now...
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
To enable swap you just need to make sure you have a swap partition (ext2, ext3 or ext4) and use these commands in the free terminal application.

****Press enter after every line

su

sh /system/sd/fr-patch133.txt swap
[G1 Android Development] xjjjay:
ah so it's not enabled by default. I'll just use a userinit.sh then.

Thanks for your help, I'm reflashing now.
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
Userinit.sh is definitely the way to go if you are a consistent user of flash.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
He took it off by default because the rom seems to run very smooth without it. Having firerat's patch built into the rom allows for quick swap set up as well as many other things....Check out firerats all in one patch if you want to learn about that. I suppose you could set it up through user init...

I recommend using compcache only if your on a g1. For some reason it really helps on these Eclair roms.....I never used compcache on Donut...only swap.
[G1 Android Development] xjjjay:
alright i'll give it a shot. reflashing restored home button functionality as well as my lockscreen... thanks!
[G1 Android Development] SLUSHIE:
The camera seems to freeze on me.

I'll take a picture, then shortly after before taking another picture it will just freeze up.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
This doesn't happen to me...try a wipe and flash
[G1 Android Development] ArionRickAllen:
G! Chromatic 3.7 Camera and shutting down

I also have the same issue with the camera. It let's me take a couple pictures but then locks up. Also, I plug my phone in and leave it until the light is green and it shows a complete charge. I will use it to look up and address and maybe make a phone call. This is about all I'm able to do and the phone shuts off. I can reboot it but it goes to the home screen showing about half battery life and shuts down again. It seems to show less battery life each time I do this. I've already flashed the newest recovery and ran fix_permissions and Cleared the battery data in recovery. Nothing seems to help. I've also formated my memory card and this is not something that happens with only this ROM. It's the same with others. Also, this does not happen when connected to USB or power. recently I've attempted to install a 1.6 Rom and it worked fine but the same issue happens with that ROM. If there something wrong with my phone or what might I be doing wrong?
[G1 Android Development] 1024k:
Agree

+1 for progress bar, stars etc change colors, orange was perfect
[G1 Android Development] xjjjay:
Try #FF8C00 for orange. That's what I use.
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Yuck, Orange. :P

[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
3.8 is out!!!

Check the OP for the changelog. Enjoy!

Well I like it dark, there are white bits included but I wont be building an inverse version of this.
