Once again I have come home to your ROM. I tested out Cannon's latest, SuperBad and a couple Sense ROMs. Cannon's was close to yours as far as speed but it didn't agree with all of my apps.

On the battery note, I'm a very heavy power user and I still get almost a whole day out of one charge. I'm using a MT3G with stock battery. I have widgets that update, I always have either bluetooth or wifi on, and God knows that I'm always playing with my phone. It has to be a YMMV issue.

Great job on a great ROM. Keep up the good work.
[G1 Android Development] nikczemnik:
I like your rom very much, but I have few small problems with it: First-Contacts application works very slowly. I need to wait about 6 seconds for my contacts or dialer or connections list to be displayed. Second- Personal ringtones. When someone calls me not always the personal ringtone works- only default ringtone works instead. I did wipe, fix permissions but nothing changed. Maybe you could help something how can I fix it?

Thank you.
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
This is an issue with google's code and how it plays with ADW launcher (the delay) Im pretty sure he has that worked out now so next release we will see an improvement on that! Not sure about the personal ringtones issue. I have not had that issue, but then again no one ever calls me :P

Glad to have you home again :) thanks for the encouragement!

2850!? I want! I have the 2600 now...Thanks for the kind words. I really do care what you all think and will keep feeling that way until I'm done doing this! (which may be never ;) )
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Sneak Attack!

So I'm doing some hacking up of some scripts tonight, to fix some battery issues folks have been experiencing. Should have something soon. Tomorrow maybe, Not going to mess with 5.0.8 (besides kanging some fixes and features) until we get a stable version but an updated ADW and LauncherPro for now...

I'm thinking ADW will be included as the launcher and Launcherpro will be installed and uninstallable as an option for those who like it for now...iwillconvertyou:D

Word!
[G1 Android Development] chinphat:
ROM is very good!! you are an artist.

Would you be able to tell me how to change the clock color? I cant read it on its current black bar.

Re: [ROM] [2.1] [G1,MT3G, MT3G1.2] Chromatic 2.0 - [06/04 - v2.0]

Re: [ROM] [2.1] [G1,MT3G, MT3G1.2] Chromatic 2.0 - [06/04 - v2.0]

I have 2 noob questions. I just flashed this rom onto my g1, what is the name of the clock in your screenshot? And my icons in the launcher drawer are not grey, they are normal colored. How do I make them grey?

dammit 10 character length >.<
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
I think they will. :)

The clock and calender I use are called Retro Clock you can find it in the market, or blapk if you are a member ;) The Icons are white now in the launcher, the screen shots had more transparency and were on a gray background making them look more gray..If you have the red highlights when selecting or pressing the action buttons, you have the most current.

What? :P
[G1 Android Development] bfinch:
Re: [ROM] [2.1] [G1,MT3G, MT3G1.2] Chromatic 2.0 - [06/04 - v2.0]

Got the clock thanks. Maybe I did something wrong, but my icons are all normal colored. ie, my opera icon is red on the tray. Messages are green. Its not a big deal or anything, just something I want to change if possible

Thanks. I appreciate your looking into this issue.
[G1 Android Development] nikczemnik:
As we thought my problems with contacts and personal ringtones disapeared with new version of your rom:-). Great job!!!:-) Thanks!!!
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
If you are using ADW go into setting for ADW and hit tint AB that will make them just the gray outline, on LP you need to select the LP icons in order for them to have the white effect.

No problemo, I have noticed significatly better battery on the stock batt since this release...hope the same goes for you.

I figured! Glad to hear!
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
this rom is pretty sweet..so far ive oc'd this rom up to 710mhz with no problems and at that speed it gets a 3.0 linpack score...thanks for the hard work chromer
[G1 Android Development] crodgers79:
Yet another _excellent_ release!

Chromersmith,

Excellent job! I flashed 2.1 over top of SpeedTeam 2.0 without any problem whatsoever. Speed is incredible and I really like the new 3D look in LauncherPro.

I'll give it a day or two before I make any comment regarding the battery but I do very much appreciate your efforts to solve _that_ problem!

Again, excellent work and I very much appreciate the amount of attention you're giving your end-user community!

All the best!

Chris R.
[G1 Android Development] zapyourit:
I have to admit, the fact that Chromersmith actually responds to almost everyone who comments in this thread is simply amazing. I wish other devs in all other areas of the tech world would do some more of that themselves.

Downloading 2.1 now and hoping that my battery life is upped as well. :D
[G1 Android Development] jibbz:
if i want to just update from 2.0 to 2.1 do i need to wipe and all tht stuff or do i just flash? the new 2.1?
[G1 Android Development] pardus:
The download link on http://chromatic.r00t.la/ is not working... (working now!)

Also there's no instructions for coming from v4.x, come on guys it's not too hard to give clear instructions so that we don't have to drag it out of you :)

Can we flash over v4.x or do we need to do a full wipe?
[G1 Android Development] skippy214:
thats what i meant to say was the launcher, and the option is not showing up in mine,

thats why i wanted to know if it was in others who have flashed 4.4?
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Actually its under settings/CM Performance

Anyone notice the on screen keyboard in the market is off? Maybe wrong version of the market for MDPI devices?

Nice work as always chromer.
[G1 Android Development] skippy214:
thanks, i found it,

my market has an updated keyboard, not the same that was in 4.3, but its the same keyboard thats used for everything else on the rom
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
The blue one right?

It looks fine everywhere else except the market/browser. It has white spaces around the edges in the market/browser for me.

It looks really nice in the messaging app without all the white edges I might add.
[G1 Android Development] deuse:
I got the option in both ADW and CM :)
[G1 Android Development] st40611:
I guess this is hit-or-miss for people, because I flashed 4.4 over RC3 (with an Nandroid backup, of course) and there's absolutely nothing wrong. Boots up just fine.
[G1 Android Development] skippy214:
yep, mines the same way. didnt notice it at first, but i have a white border around the keyboard and a black border on top.

not sure why its that way, but i dont really mind it.
[G1 Android Development] skippy214:
i do not have the option just in one spot, dont thinks its really that big of a deal tho
[G1 Android Development] ftj2006:
Been running 4.4 for a few hours now and running like a dream, love the new Power

widget too

Currently using 32mb swap partition (Anyone tried used firerat's file based swap yet? if so, how does it compare?)

Also using custom MTD partitions with 95 System, 2 Cache, 95 is probably a bit more than I need though, any recommendations on a good size for this?

Well done to the CM Team and Chromersmith, you've done a great job
[G1 Android Development] theronw68:
Battery Life

Battery life is terrible on this version. I came from 4.3 and wiped before flashing. On 4.3 I could go all day with moderate usage and still have around 40% at night. I left mine off the charger last night. It was at 100% when I went to sleep, woke up seven hours later and it is down to 26% with no usage.

Theron
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Not really a bug, but something I need to change. Thanks.

Yep as G1for fun said...CMParts

That would be all you need, if using a G1...if using a Magic, apps2ext does not initialize.

I'm pretty sure it says "Wipe" in the change log for 4.4...thanks.

Freaky...I will look into that goofy keyboard in market. If anyone hates the pink or the keyboard and wants to fix it now. You can just flash the default gapps on the CM thread.

Did you wipe battery stats? Follow the instructions for poor battery life in the OP? Try that, because battery is better than ever for me in this release.
[G1 Android Development] pgr1979:
hi Chrome, one clarification: on G1 what I have to do with menu "install location" in order to enable app2ext? automatic or external?

thanks
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
I get this "star" like glimmer in the right hand corner of my phone, every time i wake it up...... Have you ever heard about this? I think it could be my "weather and toggle widget", but it never done that on any other ROM except on this one....humm.... Also just want to say, great job on this ROM!
[G1 Android Development] theronw68:
I did all the tricks to fix battery life and none have worked.
[G1 Android Development] Uncle Irish:
holy crap.....

Installed the 4.4 and did the normal sms batch test

I have not had a 2.2 rom give 100% send/receive of a 100 sms batch since they came out...

until today...

3 different batches and all 3 show 100% send/receive

This is good news.~!!!

Now ... on to the battery.. hows the performance so far aside from the one theronw68 is having? That seems to be isolated and not the norm

theronw68

I totally drain my battery and start from scratch whenever I have a battery issue.. have you tried that ?
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
You really need not worry about that. External will install to your FAT partition so don't select that. Since my haxx (Firerats patch auto running) is not integrated into the UI there are no settings for moving apps to ext currently, and anything about apps2sd that you see in the OS is related to apps2FAT, just install your apps, when you start running out of space, reboot...simple as that :)

Magical! No I have not seen nor heard of that before....try uninstalling your widget and see if it sticks around. Thanks!

Sweet! that's what I'm talkin bout! :) Battery is awesome for me :-/ Sorry theronw68 :( draining it entirely, wiping battery stats, then charging over-night helps a lot!
[G1 Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I stopped flashing the 2.2's for a while because the sms is a huge thing for me. I have to get messages from my kids so if I am missing them, it's a big deal. Really diggin this one though Chromer. Got everything setup the way I like it now and running the fix_perm now. Once done, fresh reboot, off the charger at full charge and we'll see how things go. I'll update again tonight with how much juice is left and what all I did to drain. For starters, wireless and gps will be on full time though. I use them as do a lot of other ppl, so it will be a good base for drain tests.

Couple ?'s though.

Whats up with the weird ass Market color? I'm color blind, but it looks kinda pink?

Power widget.

It's pretty atari looking. Prolly not your design (if so, sorry :-/ ) but can it be made shorter than the full row height? Also, any way to change the color of it for the lighter wallpapers?

White theme

Prolly beating a dead horse here, but any chance of seeing a whitie?

ADW

I know everyone likes it, but I prefer LauncherPro. Any quick and dirty way to replace ADW with LauncherPro when I am not at a computer? Replace completely, not just have a choice of the two.

Wallpaper gallery

We got kind of spoiled with the kick ass ones a while back.. c'mon man, feed the masses!

Boot animation:

Gotta get a new one brutha.. energy star is gettin old. Ppl are talking about how slick the new CM ones are, but I haven't seen them
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
What are your cpu settings for 4.4. I read on the first page to have 576 max and 112/258min. What about the other setting? Like battery, charging usb, ect........ right now my max is at 537 and min at 112.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
I am enjoying this latest release a lot, I think I am finally moving on from Eclair.:D

It is running great, using 32mb swap, 40 swappiness, 24m VM Heap size, No Compcache, No JIT, No Surface Dithering, and of course Lock home in memory is checked.
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Sweet! let me know how the battery plays.

Market, yeah its Pink. I will be fixing it soon. :) For now you can flash the default GAPPS from the CM thread but its going to remove all the other GAPPS theming as well. :-/

Power widget. That's the way it looks, not a lot of room for theming besides what I already did (added white, and mistakenly removed the backgrounds, since there is now a transparent option) I will fix the backgrounds so you guys with lighter BG have a choice.

White theme.

Prob not. :)

ADW.

No way without a computer to wipe it out and replace with LauncherPro. There are a few instances where people explain how to do it in this thread.

Wallpapers

I got lazy sorry :P Next time

Boot animation

well aware, I need someone to make me one :) Sean_Jensen???? :P

The new CM boot is cool, but very CM centric :)

For screen off/charging I set 528/245 (STOCK!) Hope this helps.

Awesome we finally brought G1ForFun to the Yogurt side :)
[G1 Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Thanks for the replies.. waiting patiently for the next update while FINALLY getting all of my text messages :-D
[G1 Android Development] Hassan99:
Hello chromersmith

is it possible, that the bootup in 4.4 is very very slow?

it takes over 4 minutes from the G1 T-Mobile Screen into the bootanimation. On 4.3 it was realy fast.

I have fullwiped my phone and flashed the new 4.4 OS.

:/
[G1 Android Development] mindstormmaster1:
Ya I have that same problem no matter how many reboots it takes a long time to get past the G1 T-Mobile screen.
[G1 Android Development] draffter:
Hi!

I just wipe my system with AllInOne.bat and flash Chromatic 4.4. From start I have this log http://pastebin.com/iEMQvZri is this correct? It's about "move FroYo FAT installed apps to /sd-ext?"
[G1 Android Development] cameron.t90:
i need help, my wifi stopped working all of a sudden, the only thing i could think of that i changed would be the kernel so i could have the 614OC. could that be the problem or is anyone else having troubles with wifi? when i go int wireless settings it just says error and wont let me go into the wifi settings. other than that, great work chrome, lovin 4.4 so far!
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Yeah, that's because of the app moving :)

Yeah its messy but it works :)

Uggh I bet its the kernel :( re-flash what do you need 614 for anyhow :P
[G1 Android Development] theronw68:
Battery finally completely drained and is now on charger. Will do the process again and see if it goes any better.
[G1 Android Development] Hassan99:
will it do this all the time? or once or twice?

it is very annoying to wait over 2 minutes for the device to start :/
[G1 Android Development] skippy214:
i hope your talkin about your G1 and not hd2 lol, and since google gave up on these phones around the 1.6 era. . ., 4 or so minutes isnt all that bad to wait.
[G1 Android Development] billquinn1:
Just wanted to report about audio quality. It is so much better than it was in 4.3 its unreal. I assume Cys team figured out something there. Pandora is usable again. After 24 hours every thing running great with just compcache and home locked. I will wait for reports on Jit and other stuff.

Nice work.
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:

Unchecked Enable surface dithering and upped VM heap size to 24. Seems to run better. But then again I just did that. Will report later for a better outcome :)
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
What do you mean "using 32mb swap and 40 swappiness?
[G1 Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Whats the theme you are running? Looks sweet

Also, what are the widgets you have on your page 3 right above the Romans 11:1?
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
Im not running any theme, this is just Chromatic 4.4. The widgets are: Tech Buzz and Mobile Buzz. Those keep me up-to-date with the world haha.
[G1 Android Development] billquinn1:
I actually like 32 megs of swap with swappiness of 15 but I want to give it a go with no swap first. I think compache helps but its my opinion only.

Thoughts:

Battery life is what I expected from Froyo on older hardware. Speed is fantastic with little to no lag at all. Phone clarity is excellent. Audio playback quality was clear and crisp. Overall general use is great form this ROM and can be used as a daily driver. No overclocking was done and SetCPU isn't even installed.

Keep a charger or USB cable with you because you'll need, but overall, fun, fast and Froyo. A killer trio.
[G1 Android Development] Uncle Irish:
The FB app has a red hue to it and looks different than mine. I have the 1.3.1 version. Looks kewl though, lol

I haven't installed many themes at all. I installed the WASP one on the 5/0/8 CM and liked it because of all the yellow. I'd really like a good yellow and black theme though, just can't find one. Red and black is nice too.

[G1 Android Development] itradio:
I'm not a power user, but I use my phone enough (Seesmic, Pandora, calls, text, a couple of games) and I've been running 4.4 for 24 hours.

I know I mentioned this to Chrome on Twitter, but this is the longest I've kept a Froyo build since TeamDouche released a Cyan build.

My phone's been off the charger for just over 12 hours, and I'm down to 26% which is normal for me (and I have a new battery that's a month old).

Chrome, great work once again, and don't go away from the black and red!

One question I do have, and I haven't looked in to it much or had the time, but any quick fix to Pandora not going to the background when the screen is off?

[G1 Android Development] Levito:
Hi there, Im interested in this ROM, tried flashing it and entered into an endless reboot back to recovery.

clean wipe > flash > reboot.

MT3G green screen, phone auto restarts green screen into recovery, hit "reboot system now" rinse and repeat with no changes.

This might sound stupid but I assumed that was the reboot issue mentioned in the changelog, but after an hour or so of hitting "reboot system now" over dinner I started to doubt that.

Im not particularly savvy about droid, but know enough to install super d, e, cm 4, 5 etc and themes, so any ideas helping me with this would be great.

thx

[G1 Android Development] Rigbywalker:
One question, why are you using swapper2 instead of a swap partition via recovery?

Anyway I'm testing now the configuration you posted.

After the first reboot I have two problems:

1. Home button does not work. I can not lock my phone either (the screen goes black but unlock screen never appear) That happens to me with 1.6 a few months ago and I solved it with using Any Cut to repeat de configuration assistant. The point is that now the configuration assistant does not work.

Anybody knows how to fix it?

2. I can not find the setting in spare parts to have the white coloured clock *^_^*

Thanks in advance!

compcache does help in multitasking....

on the other hand... JIT is not good for our devices like G1 and MT3G..

just check compcache and lock home in memory.. it would be good :)
