lol.. So I guess my 256mb swap is a bit of overkill then lol.. Never gives me any problems and is always ready when i switch to the Slide roms for the day because they need an unusually high swap to function properly

chromatic 4.2

im loving it man! no problems so far, but if anyone knows of any custom dialers to go with this rom, links would be much appreciated.

Android Keyboard

I just installed 4.2 and I'm having a problem with the Android Keyboard. I have a MT3G. I installed swype but I am unable to use it because I can't uncheck the Android Keyboard under Settings>Language & keyboard settings. The reason I can't uncheck it is because there's no check box. I have installed swype before on 4.1 but on my G1. Is there a difference?
[G1 Android Development] goofyog:
And what about ROM memory speed is it faster then sd clas 6 ? If it is can we make swap from it(thanks to A2sd we don t need 80 mb of ROM:-))
[G1 Android Development] DroidDavi:
im having a few issues

1. im getting random reboots

2. im usimg adw from the market so after it reboots its going to the adw stock on the rom and once i go to the market adw all my widgets wont load
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
If you are using Froyo apps2fat and Market ADW is installed on your Fat partition this is last to load in the system init order so no wonder that your internal ADW is started first.

Move it to internal storage or even better - replace the one in /system/app
[G1 Android Development] turbo_x:
Waaaahhhh I wiped my Phone before downloading ROM and Chromatic download page is dead can anyone post some mirror of 4.2 version on rapidshare or meagaupload or whatever.
[G1 Android Development] Abhi_UK:
Same problem here
[G1 Android Development] xploder270:
Uploading it for you. Will be up in 5.
[G1 Android Development] patriot1973:
If I go into terminal and do the FREE command, it shows a 9MB swap active and being used. Does this mean that v4.2 has some form of swap built in and is using it, or do I still need to use something like Swapper 2?

Also, I was checking out the VM heap sizes and it got changed from the default. What should it be set to by default, and what exactly IS it? What benefit or not is derived from changing the values?
[G1 Android Development] xploder270:
http://rapidshare.com/files/411007314/Chromatic4.2-signed.zip
[G1 Android Development] Abhi_UK:
Thank you

Also vm heap means the amount of ram used by an app so lowering helps multitasking and increasing helps speed of apps.
[G1 Android Development] Abhi_UK:
Is apps to ext default on this? (Also meaning it doesn't use apps2fat at all)

Do we have to flash gapps on this rom?
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
Thats because you dont "unchek" the android keyboard... You click swype on, then hold your finger over whever your going to type till "INPUT METHOD" pops up then you click swype...
[G1 Android Development] billquinn1:
Sound Quality

I am wondering if the Meltus hack is in this rom and even if it works the same on Froyo. I installed 4.2 and everything I have tried is working well except Pandora. It sounds like I am listening to AM radio. I tried an included app that is a 5 band equalizer but just can't get it right.

I paid for the Meltus app some time back but would like to know what will happen if I try it.

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
If only we could use it as RAM...I have not seen anyone do that as of yet.

Random reboots: run fix_permissions from terminal, it should help.

What is up with my site being "down" for people all the time. Every time I check it it is up....sorry bout that.

Yes swap is enabled by default. You do not need to use swapper2 and in fact I don't recommend it. It can be shady sometimes.

VM heap, is the amount of RAM an application is allowed to use. Lowering it will give you better jumping around performance, but cause it to limit the amount a running app can touch.

Yes, it should be, if you have issues (running out of space, etc) re-boot, then run this from terminal su <enter> sh /system/etc/fr-patch134.txt sdext, then resume restoration of your apps.

I don't think Meltus has gotten it working on Froyo yet, but I have not tired either. The noise you are hearing with Pandora is probably a result of SetCPU, if you turn off scaling while running Pandora it shouldn't make that horrid noise. :)
[G1 Android Development] xploder270:
I really want to know more about why you can't use ROM as swap!

I mean don't we have access to /data and can't we just use a swap file there?

Interesting topic.
[G1 Android Development] Kingfanpaul:
This is by far the best rom I have ever used on my MT3G. So fast!

Just one thing I dont like about it though, I dont know if its how the rom is suppose to look or if its just an error in my phone. Before if I got a text notification from Handcent in the notification bar it it was a blue icon, now its like grey. Also when in the market all of the ratings stars are black, just like if I change anything in settings and the radio buttons pop up the black dot or check marks are all black where I think stock they use to be green and the ratings stars in market were orange. You know what I mean? Is it suppose to be like that? Can we change it? I like a little color instead of the black stuff. No big deal though, you did an amazing job with this rom.
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Interesting topic indeed, I would like to see what we can find :)

Yeah, that's my style...I like it color-less hence the name :)
[G1 Android Development] Kingfanpaul:
Gotcha! Is there an easy way to change that or would it require a new theme? I don't really want a theme though cuz I love everything else about this rom and I don't want to risk slowing down my little speed demon I have now :D
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
I would suggest ninja morph by stericson if you want to change a couple of things.
[G1 Android Development] billquinn1:
I don't really see "off" in the list of choices. I use "on demand". Does one of the other choices in the list mean off? I will look at the sound file names and may just try replacing them to see what happens. Nandroid first of course.
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
Wouldn't you been prematurely degrading your NAND flash? I mean we put it through the paces with the number of flashes we do... but swap? Doesn't smell right to me.
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
I have Meltus Volume hack 3.5 and it works perfect on Froyo ;) People should experiment with the new DSP sound settings for the perfect sound, but the meltus audio mod always does wonders
[G1 Android Development] pauoaboy16:
Hahahaha thanks man, didn't even think about something so simple as that!
[G1 Android Development] turbo_x:
Thanks 1000 times, now I can bring my phone to life for tomorrow.
[G1 Android Development] billquinn1:
I have Meltus 3.6 and just pushed v2r2. I will check the results in the car when I head home.

Why?

Anybody can something?

Guess you got a point there, even though I've yet to degrade any of my flash based devices.
[G1 Android Development] DroidDavi:
i was trying 4.2 and now im getting alot of FC what can i do i really liked this rom
[G1 Android Development] robbie725:
colors...

I am trying the fix in the OP-

* Right click and save as xml to the root of your SD card

* Go into Settings>CM Settings>User Interface>Tweaks Extra, and scroll all the way down, click "Import colors from XML"

* Reboot to apply changes

But every time I get an error message that there is no XML file found? I am looking at it on my SDcard... I know I can change the colors else where but I just like to know why I can't get this to work...???

thanks

Peace

EDIT... NEVER MIND I WAS SEARCHING THE WRONG TERM, BUT I FOUND MY ANSWER.... THANKS!

How to use Meltus...?

Whats sad about me is hat I have Meltus volume hack thread as a favorite but.... I still don't know how to use it.

Maybe I should start doing things earlier on my G1

TIA ;)
[G1 Android Development] billquinn1:
The best way is pay for it on the market, touch the picture of the speaker (it will request root), hit the button for back up , hit the button for v2r2, and optionally hit the button for hs+ic2.

Boom goes the dynamite.

If you can't afford it you'll need to follow the directions on that thread. It ain't hard.
[G1 Android Development] TwikZ:
hey man.. this is a really great ROM.. i can do all with it. but it reboot when i use wifi ya know.. i can turn the wifi on but i cant use. if i get into the browser or anything my g1 reboot by itself. :( just like when i used the CM 6.0 exp. mod
[G1 Android Development] raimeiken:
Hi, I've been using this great ROM for over a week now and I love it!

I just have a problem that started yesterday. My gmail app just stopped working. It just keeps force closing on me. I've tried going to the apps manager and clearing the data and cache.

I even downloaded the latest gapps and installed them, but the gmail app still wont work. any thoughts on this?
[G1 Android Development] KeiichiKun:
I was wondering, do you have to wipe if you're upgrading from v4.1.1 to v4.2?

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] mindstormmaster1:
I have the same trouble it works great, but then I turn on wifi and get into reboot loops. Im using 3.9.1.1 and its great, but Id really like to be running Froyo.
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
32A magics are not supported, except the 1.2 US mytouch. Sorry.

Run fix_permissions, see if that helps...it should.

Never seen that happen before. Sorry to hear about your problems. I think the only thing to do would be wipe and start over if fix_permissions does not work.

Prob not, if you dont have apps on your ext partition, if you have issues do a wipe

fix_permissions
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
I would recommend that you run fix_permissions as well as repair ext through Amon Ra's Recovery in order to solve any Force Close issues. Might as well run them to try to cure any other quirks. If those two things do not solve your issue, wipe and reflash. If you have the same issue, then you know it's a bug. Hope this helps some of you.
[G1 Android Development] ReTro FuZe:
Hey, um...im usin 4.2 now n i cant get the apps2sd goin for me....ive done the whole fr-patch134.txt n it still doesnt work...idk wat to do...now its getting kinda laggy n idk wat to do...n everytime i use the task manager to kill da apps...like 5 minutes later, i click on da widget again to kill and it says it kills like 11+ apps...why wont da apps DIE? LOL...i have a MT3G (original)...please help cuz its irritating lol
[G1 Android Development] Blackman778g:
Thanks.

Thanks for the help.

Also My Speaker resembles the sound of static.. Maybe I'll search this thread and the Cyanogen one as well to see if people had any issues like mine.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Task Killer = BAD. Do not use one. Froyo and Eclair do not need this.

Why do you need apps2sd with a MT3G?
[G1 Android Development] oreoOozZz:
Great rom, very quick and responsive. A couple F/C's here and there but nothing crazy. Im OC'ed at 122/614 on SetCPU and i followed all the post flash instructions, everything works like a charm. Keep up the good work Dev.

[G1 Android Development] arefin:
Well, now that I have tried all the Eclairs in the forum, I am able to choose my favourite.

CHrome, your ROM somehow has the most promisable Multi-tasking of all! Good work!

My sum up:

1. Super E: Best app-response/Fast or Fastest Eclair/stable/Moderafte Battery life/

2. Speed Team: Very good app-response/Fast or Fastest/Stable/ Highest Battery Life

3. Cannon: good app-response/Fast/Stable/Good Battery Life/very good overall ROM

4. Super Bad: good app-response/Fast/Stable/poor Battery life/good multi-tasking and Nice Look!

5. Chrome: good app-response/Moderately fast/Stable/poor battery life/better multitasking

6. Extreme: good app-response/average speed/Stable/poor battery life/
[G1 Android Development] lordofsilence:
24hrs with this rom and i am loving it.It is really fast,It does feel great and really responsive.

Thanks.

Hey ppl , can someone tell me how i can remove setcpu from recovery ?

i set 710 mhz and i forget turn off "set on boot" now every time when i turn on telephone i have freeze and reboot

if someone can please write for me commands how i can delete cpu from

recovery thanks !
[G1 Android Development] Primer65:
Removing and installing apps needs to be done through abd I believe, can't be done in recovery. What you can do though, for a quick, dirty fix, is wipe your EXT partition in recovery and reinstall all your apps.
[G1 Android Development] lordofsilence:
I think I found a bug....when I unplug my headphones the music starts automatically.I am using a MyTouch 3g w 3.5 jack with the last radio rom if that helps.

Thanks once again.
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
Unfourtunatly... this happens on every rom at some point in time with these phones. I even have it happen to where Ill be using the normal music player. turn off the music, unplug my headphones, then like Mixzing will start up playing. Its strange
[G1 Android Development] lordofsilence:
Thanks for your reply,I also came across that right after installing one of the superD versions.
[G1 Android Development] ytj87:
Quickest, most responsive of the big 6 eclairs I've tried. Very nice. Stable OC'd to 633 and getting 2.7 on linpack. A complete eclair, with goog apps, multitasking, and OCing in place. Very, very nice. My daily driver.
[G1 Android Development] ytj87:
Weird how we all have our preferences, when we're all running the same hardware. I'd rate Chromatic first, SuperE 2nd. Cannon I'd rate last. The others are give or take in the middle.

my 3d gallery doesnt work? does anybody else have this proble? it just stays at a black screen

I have not seen that issue before. Could you get a logcat? It can be slow on the first load...could that be what it is?
[G1 Android Development] timkoss:
Chromsmith i have a little question :D

In the next release will be adw or Launcher Pro (better is pro :P)?
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Launcher

Well Our Godfather has spoken and he is including ADW as the default launcher, I may include launcherPro themed up as an alternative for those that like it better. I personally think with the right adjustments ADW is far superior, but that is just my opinion. So, I will listen to the users. Watch out here comes a poll!
[G1 Android Development] wcdisciple:
I have to agree...

...the battery life on this ROM needs some fine tuning as in asap!!!

Otherwise, this is my daily ROM. I carry two extra batteries on me. While i'm at work when the battery hits 20% i charge it up. Within 30-45 minutes, i'm down to 20% again. Battery change. Rinse, repeat.

[G1 Android Development] crodgers79:
Battery life..

I love this ROM but the comment about battery life seems all too true. to be fair, all CM5-based ROMs seem to suffer from poor battery life. Based on one of the posts in this thread I loaded the SpeedTeam newest "2.0" ROM which is "supposed" to have great battery life but my experience was that it drained my Seideo 2600 Extended battery in about four hours flat.. back in the Donut days I could go about 1.5 days between charges, now with these CM5-based ROMs I'm lucky to make it through an 8 hour day; and yes, I've used all the battery tweaks (AutoTaskKiller, 2G networks only, SetCPU Profiles, etc.) and nothing seems to really help these CM5-based ROMs.

I really think that the person or persons that come up with the fix (maybe the new source 2.2 ROM for Hero that is being ported to the G1 that should be out soon?) will win the majority of the business from the end-users.

Chromatic 2.0 remains one of my favorites though!

Just my $.02
[G1 Android Development] karl_eller:
Battery life is my only real complaint with this ROM. Just SMSing and using 3G data, I struggle to get more than about 12-15 hours out of a charge on my HTC Magic, and that's not even doing any phone calls. Luckily I'm never too far from a USB port whenever I'm at work or class, so it's not a massive problem, but it'd be nice to get a good 18+ hours out of the battery with some phone calls, data usage, and all the rest.

Aside from that, one of my favourite ROMs, more so now that HTC Clay has decided to take a break from developing for a little while.

Edit: And yes, I've done the battery stats reset as per the instructions linked in the original post.
[G1 Android Development] timkoss:
I have normal battery live . My phone always keep power for 1 day :P
[G1 Android Development] arefin:
actually you misunderstood the review of mine....or I placed it in the wrong fashion - the numbers are NOT representative of any kind of quality/assesment-wise serial or whatever! Please consider that the numbers are just random orders...the quality or evaluation of the ROMs are NOT indicative of the order how they were placed.

All the devs are doing hard works...I only expressed my review and highlighted the best features each one of them has.

Sorry for confusions....

Again, the review was made before v 2.0 was out....if you try version 1.0---you gonna agree that the battery life on that ROM reminds you of a 1.5 firmware when we used to have ages of battery lives :-)
[G1 Android Development] xploder270:
After a couple days of using it I have to say that Chromatic 4.2 is easily the best Froyo based G1/32B Rom out there.

Keep up the good work. :)

Turn down the media volume 3 clicks. it should help.
[G1 Android Development] ReTro FuZe:
iight, cool...sooo ima uninstall it...but wouldnt havin those apps up in da background, slow down my system?
[G1 Android Development] billquinn1:
Android automatically kills off what it needs to. They are not using CPU time just Ram. Unused memory is does not speed things up. If you have 10 megs of ram free, 20 megs will not be better. If you have stuff open that uses all your ram Android will kill something. Third party task killers use CPU time all the time to manage what is already being done.

good to know =) thanks man

I just switched to Chromatic from Cm 5.0.8 and everything is great so good job on it, but I have a weird issue and it is really bugging me to no end. On my homescreen I cant see the all apps grid button until i actually click where it usually is. Is there a way to make it always visible? I looked to the adw settings but found nothing obvious.
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Sorry to drive you crazy...I removed it :P Ninjamorph would be your best bet for adding it in.
[G1 Android Development] SeriVolk:
Ahhh ok that makes sense, no point in looking for something thats not there.
[G1 Android Development] damngood98:
sorry if i missed this but does this require a particular ext? i'm using ext2 and cannot for the life of me get this past the g1 boot screen. freshly wiped, repartitioned and repaired ext. previously was on ext3, did a full wipe, same thing.
[G1 Android Development] patriot1973:
Is that English?
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Have you tried a fastboot system erase yet? That seens too help a lot of people. What spl are you using? What version of Chromatic are you flashing?
[G1 Android Development] ReTro FuZe:
ALRIGHT, let me speak ENGLISH for you...I was asking that if i have a lot of applications up and running without task killing them, if it would slow down my phone. I tested it already, thank you very much, and it works nice and smooth. Is that good enough ENGLISH for you? =)
[G1 Android Development] Daveenna:
First I have to say, Fantastic ROM, awesome theme and great tweaks, but I have a question (because I am a noob and don't know better)

I have the Mytouch Fender (well 1.2, or LE, or whatever), I've been told that JIT is not functioning very well on older devices like mine, in your opinion should I have it on to increase performance?

Again, Fantastic Job, I can't wait for the next version
[G1 Android Development] damngood98:
no, don't have fastboot as of yet. searching as i type this to figure it all out. was trying to flash 4.2. Was coming from super froyo 2.8. i've read a few people saying after trying to flash certain froyo roms, nothing would flash. that appears to be the case w/me as well as i can't even get an eclair rom/nandroid to work. thanks though.

Why my app cannot install to ext4?
[G1 Android Development] allenterry:
Is this APP2EXT enabled by default ? After I reboot the second time, swap was just enabled.
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
It really shouldn't. You said you don't have fastboot? How is that possible?

Cool, the 1.2 has more RAM, it might be worth a shot :) I have not even flashed my 1.2 yet :) Been testing on my G1 like crazy.

Should work with ext4 fine. :(

Yes, after a reboot it will be enabled.

Beautiful! Perfect! Was that so hard? Gangsta/Street/Thug speak, even in written form, comes across as rediculous, ignorant and of low education. Why do you want to give people that impression? I'm sure you're intelligent and know how to speak & write proper English.

BTW- I'm not a grammar/spelling Nazi. It just bothers me to see the English language get dumbed-down and bastardized into thug/street talk. Especially by those that should know better.
[G1 Android Development] ANtiHazarD:

[G1 Android Development] SeriVolk:
Chromersmith, I had an idea about the all apps grid button. Would it be possible to make it visible or invisible like the LAB and RAB through the ADW settings or something in a future update. I don't have the know how to do it myself.
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Good thinking, I could make the all apps BG have the grid on it, then if you wanted it you turn it on, if you dont turn it off...hmmm
[G1 Android Development] SeriVolk:
I think that way people could easily switch between a more stock feel to a completely clean look and anywhere in between.
