Anyone get AdFree Android working? First ROM i've encountered where it fails to download hosts. Also, is anyone running a different kernel on this ROM, I was considering trying the UV kernel available to help battery life. Any opinions would help out, love this ROM though, it seems to keep the most memory, and hardly ever has to reload the home screen unlike most eclair ROMS and I got 13 widgets + shortcuts running on my G1 WITH launcherpro.

I can't get passed the boot screen for some reason. I keep tapping the android guy and nothing happens, I've tried reboting, reflashing with wipes, and nothing... Am I missing something? Same thing happened to me with SuperBad.

i've tried to flash your rom, i have the latest radio and the danger spl, a 4gb class 6 sd with ext 3 part, this rom and every other eclair rom i try to flash gets stuck at the g1 screen

i wiped, repaired ext, flashed, rebooted, but its been sitting on the g1 screen for at least 3 minutes now, i've waited up to 20 minutes on other eclair roms, can someone help me with this?

Subscribing. Just flashed this today and along with Firerats patch seems to be pretty good so far. I'm a ROMwhore though so we'll see how long I last. ;)
[G1 Android Development] Shadoxity:
Hey Mate,

You need to run firerat's "all in one" patch and do the facebook part of it to get facebook sync working.

See if that helps.

Just installed this Rom and seems to be running pretty quick. Used firerats patch to fix facebook sync and i will know if it works shortly, just waiting for contact pics to update.

Seems to be running better than speed team eclairs one, so happy so far. Real test will be in a week after i have more messages etc. hopefully it doesnt slow down.

Lookin at the thumbnails for this ROM (which is great by the way!!!)

What digital flip clock widget/app is that on the home screen??? Did it come included on this ROM? Cant seem to find it.
[G1 Android Development] sahid1haha:
Its called retro clock widget, it's free on the market.
[G1 Android Development] Shadoxity:
Looks like it is working now, but i had to make facebook do a manual sync by going settings > accounts and sync, turn off and then back on for facebook sync. :)

I have a problem with my contacts. I use contacts 2 sim and i exported all my sim contacts to my phone but they dont show up in contacts, but when people text me there name still shows up. Is there something i can do to fix this because its kinda annoying but other than that best eclair rom! :)
[G1 Android Development] pgr1979:
thanks for this nice ROM, I installed it today and it works very very smoothly ... probably the best 2.1 rom for my G1.

only one question: I enabled compcache from spare parts, rebooted the device, but I can not see any swap:

# free

free

total used free shared buffers

Mem: 97764 96036 1728 0 16

Swap: 0 0 0

Total: 97764 96036 1728

what is wrong?

thanks in advance
[G1 Android Development] fordmanck:
Have you flashed anything over the ROM at all?
[G1 Android Development] pgr1979:
no: full wipe, flashed the ROM linked in 1st post, 1st boot and enabled without success the compcache in spare parts.

Also rebooting and disablig/reenabling compcache , nothing happened.

(before this ROM , I used different Cyanogenmod test versions and the superbad 1.5.1 without any problem with compcache always enabled...)
[G1 Android Development] quierotacobell:
I had the same problem as you two. What I did was nand/bart restore a CM 5.0.8 Test 4, then flash this on top of it without wiping anything and it worked. Try that.
[G1 Android Development] shawayne21:
reallygreat rom. but for some reason my battery kinda draining? also if you could change the white loading/ volume bars and black checks to like a red or soft grey it would bbe nice because in some menus you cant see it since most menus are white or black

Will do..well I will post the flashable wiper.
[G1 Android Development] el_Salmon:
Me the same question. Anyone knows something?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
well just use my firstboot script since I removed swap already, as well as all the unnecessary patch's in firerat's patch that have nothing to do with apps2ext. The Facebook sync patch is no longer needed, but your roms are still running all these on every boot. As Firerat said, wtf!? lol. Don't forget to give me credit for my work.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Why is disabling compcache important for the g1? Please enlighten me
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Because compressing your cache is unnecessary (and reduces performance no matter how badly you want to argue that it doesn't) and uses more cpu cycles and in turn, uses more battery. What are most people concerned about with their G1? The battery.

Please enlighten me as to why you had too post twice instead of doing it all in 1?
[G1 Android Development] MrMind10:

[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
http://bit.ly/aAt1a7 check this theme out...not sure if it will work with Chromatic or not.

I will get it taken care of. thanks.
[G1 Android Development] burn317:
Been running this for about 5 days now and love it! I'm not really concerned with themes so I'm not sure how that end would work, love live wallpapers though (got to have, mario!) so that was one of the first things I threw on. As with most roms, the wallpaper wouldn't stick after a reboot so I used firerats all in one, haven't had any problems since except when I jacked up the fps to see how it handled and only at the max in settings for the wallpaper with ai enabled and paths drawn could I see lag.

This Rom flies on my mt3g!

Definite win!
[G1 Android Development] _ice_:
disabling this still forcecloses/ loops my browser/ messaging app/ market and drops the keyboard...
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Did you enable Swap after disabling CC? Without CC/Swap the Rom is barely usable because of memory limitations. With Swap it's all good ;)

[offtopic] And is that incredibly large sig really necessary?!
[G1 Android Development] _ice_:
I have a class 4 sd card 16 gb. I heard enabling swap reduces card life, or may potentially damage it unless its a class 6?

lol my bad people show off their homescreens. I thought I would too, its a bit outdated, and I barely get on, I will change it when ever I am not feeling lazy.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
If all that happens when you disable compcache than you have some other issues and should wipe system, data, cache, ect....and reflash.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
wow you really are pretty ignorant about how your phone works. So swap doesn't use more battery? I beg to differ, and yes I will argue it. Swap runs like garbage on my g1, always has, ever since cm5
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
:p Oh well, sucks too be you then.

Can i flash this to my HTC Magic 32A?

Recovery: recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2-blue

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
no it doesn't, because compache works fine for me.
[G1 Android Development] Abhi_UK:
But for most people swap runs the best. Also if you have ever seen swap vs compcache threads the overall conclusion is that swap works ok after some time, compcache works great but as you go along slows you phone more and more. Also why is it on sense roms, swap is always used and never compcache?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
all you have to do is use cache cleaner, or wipe your cache in revocery. Does anyone here even remember when compache first came out, and why it was created, and how much everyone loved it because it works better than swap? Now all the sudden swap is the inn thing to use, wtf why lol? Also you can't mount your sdcard when booted or you loose swap
[G1 Android Development] Jacob_K:
I have been running 4.5 for a few days now.

And its running so great now i have compcache disabled :D.

My desire arrives on Monday, so I will have to say farewell to this ROM. :/
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
After you disabled compcache did you check in terminal that swap is working? The problem with the current scripts is that is attempts to run swap and compcache at the same time, so how do you know which one is active after first boot, since they both show up as swap in terminal? And congrats on the new phone, I'm for the vibrant development to get further along until I get it.
[G1 Android Development] he3:
Aight, g1 w/ danger, and 4.5.

Last night I wiped all, installed 4.5 again, let it do it's thing, turned off CC and surface dithering and locked home app in memory.

Opened a web page and then sent SMS and then went back to web page, it had to refresh as expected. So then I got the firerat script and turned on swap with swappyness 40. It asked about creating a file, so I chose no... Should I have said yes? Because I did the same web page test and it still had to reload.

Btw, I have a class 6 card.

Also I've been having some bad reboots which require like 2 or 3 tries before android loads.

My next steps are going to be formatting the card and same install procedure, and lastly the adb super wipe method thing...

Any help or experience with these symptoms?

Tia
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
I've stopped using my 96M swap partition as started with 32M swap file and it flies now.
[G1 Android Development] Jacob_K:
Hmmm. I haven't checked that in terminal as I never thought of it. I'm not sure, I will check later on today.
[G1 Android Development] he3:
For me, when I used roms with swap I could multitask, never very well with CC.

Although it could also have been different roms or android versions.

But anyway, can anyone have a web page open and reply to an SMS and go back to the webpage without your browser refreshing on a G1? If so, pleeeeeease what are your settings! And I hope it's a Froyo rom.
[G1 Android Development] HrtSmrt:
This may have been asked, but search is down right now so i haven't been able to check, but how come i can't install Flash Player on this ROM?

[EDIT]

Never mind, i guess we don't get flash on the G1 :(
[G1 Android Development] ArionRickAllen:
Oops sorry that was not what I wanted or expected. Still, this ROM rocks.
[G1 Android Development] malus83:
Hi

I've a question...

In the OP I read

FLASH THIS BEFORE THE ROM AND AFTER YOUR BACKUP IT WILL WIPE SYSTEM, CACHE, AND DATA!!!

This is referred to a packet that make FULLLLLL wipe of our phone. But.... wipe data means that it wipe our personal files like downloaded files, photo, etc???

malus
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Wipe data means wiping your phone. You won't lose photos or downloaded files as long as they are stored on your sdcard.
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Still running 3.9.1.1 (after attempting the 4.x Roms as well ofcourse, no worries ;) ), still my favorite Rom.

Small question however... Have been NinjaMorphing some things but one thing I just can't find... In the 3.9.1.1 Rom the "progress" bar is white on black. I dislike that because a lot of progress bars are on a black background anyway, so it looks like it's progressing into "nothing".

Would really like it to be the default orange on white. Or blue on white. Or blue on grey, whatever. The black-part must be changed with a color.

Now there are two progress png's in framework-res, but changing these doesn't solve problem.

Question is: where can I change the white-on-black progress bar png's/xml-entries...?

[Edit] Picture as an example: as you can see the white-on-black progress bars are not very beautiful and easily visible. The white part as grey would be better.
[G1 Android Development] malus83:
thanks for your quick reaply, it's clear now :)
[G1 Android Development] malus83:
Hi

I've another problem.......... :p

I have an error when I try to edit a file via adb shell...

I try with vi and nano using the default shell, ash, and bash. In each case when I open a file for example # vi file.txt and I try to move up and down the cursor with the arrows it remains in the first line preventing me from being able to write. :confused:

Does anyone have this issues?

Moving apps

How do you move apps from ext partition to froyo implementation? I am having trouble installing Swype and recommendation is to disable apps2ext.
[G1 Android Development] Cobra281:
still can't get Apps2SD to work... i have automatic moving enabled in CM options. the apps keep installing to the phone, and not the SD card. i have the partition(as you can see, attached below), and restarted the phone several times. as you can see, only the temporary files of the apps seem to be moving to the SD-ext. what else can i do?
[G1 Android Development] Guitoux:
I was wondering the same ! :confused:
[G1 Android Development] 1024k:
Why everything slowdown after 5-6 days???

Removed the swap then reinstalled using the new firerat patch 1.40, all was fast, but now still the same: can't answer to calls (phone ring but screen is black) and all the system is slow.

Do i remove again the swap?

Settings as recommended.

Thanks for help
[G1 Android Development] Strato77:
I´ve tried every 2.2 ROM for the G1 realeased to date...and by far yours is the best, the fastest and super stable...great work! Keep it up! :)
[G1 Android Development] marcink99:
great rom! My slow problems got fixed by lowering swap to 32mb.Also do i need to set up any profiles for setcpu or will it adjust itself for power consumption

also what is the best radio upgrade?
[G1 Android Development] sunsean:
Just wanted to say that this is the closest thing to a perfect rom I've used to this point. Been on for a little over a week, and it's still running great. The battery advice given in the first couple posts really works - completely drain, then wipe battery stats and charge for 8+ hours. I'm easily getting through a whole day on one charge, morning to night, and for a lot of the newer roms based on 2.1 and 2.2 this isn't always so. With light usage, I could probably get 2 full days on one charge. Better than my last few roms at least. Anyway, sorry for the unnecessary post, but wanted to say thanks!
[G1 Android Development] EdTeach1680:
still lovin the rom till I can get themeing figured out! one question though, would it be too much to ask if you could edit the drawables for the button highlight/glow effect for the power control widget in vertical layout. in regular mode they are white and vert they are the stock blue. no biggie if not/ thanks in advance...... keep up the good work! by far my favorite rom skin!!
[G1 Android Development] he3:
Wierd, I tried that battery stats method and it would never charge past 30% or so...

So I tried the other method, let it get all charged up, then turn off and plug in, when light is green, unplug and then plug back in, when light is green again, unplug and repeat this ~ 10 times.

Then turn on into recovery and wipe [at a full charge]

this seems to work for me.

[G1 Android Development] phillmiester:
Hey Chromer, great job with 4.5 its probably the best froyo ive tried without any major problems, however I just cant stand Froyo on the G1 because it just isnt made for it. So i went back to 3.9.1.1 and it feels 1000 times better! Faster and more reliable :D however i really miss the power control widget, thats the only thing that really made 4.5 that bit cooler and the new market. So if theres some way that could be ported onto 3.9.1.1 that would be insanely awesome! Cheers, thanks for your help and keep up the great work.
[G1 Android Development] splttingatms:
Is there a way to move apps from apps2ext to apps2froyo implementation? Thanks
[G1 Android Development] wkustu:
Dude, don't feel defeated, and don't give up! I've been running your rom and have had NO issues with battery. I did, however THINK I had batter issues, but it was because my battery was damaged and I didn't know it. I assumed that the ROM was the culprit. Got a new battery and 4.4 is lasting just as long as my wife's donut rom.

Your ROM is a beautiful piece of work--the best out there IMHO--and I would hate to see progress slow down on it. It just keeps getting better!

Hi

I had the same problem. I solve it by reducing swap size and swappines. Now it fly and I'll never see lag anymore.

The previos settings was (insanely wrong)

Size 128M and swappines 60 using swap partition :D

Now

Size 32M swappines 40 using swap file

You can use the firerat patch

Hope this help you

[G1 Android Development] tbaxter08700:
Did you do that with swapper2 pal? I have tryed it but hasn't worked :-(
[G1 Android Development] v3dran:
If you are using "stock" ADWLauncher that comes with Chromatic 4.5, you should disable everything in "performance settings" under CyanogenMod settings, except Lock Home in Memory and change VM heap size to 32...you also have option to rotate home screen, you should disable that too, it's under ADW settings, reboot your phone and give it a try...i had the same issues with 4.3 and 4.4 version of Chromatic, and i was pissing off every time i changed something or read an sms, because of loading homescreen...i'm using LauncherPro Plus 0.7.9.0., and it flies...you should give it a try too...i changed swappines to 32 and have no other problems...SetCPU is must have for this, and if you have SetCPU profiles set the same minimum to main profile and to all other profiles, so you'll not have to wait to wake...sorry for maybe bad English, but i think you'll understand ;)
[G1 Android Development] 1024k:
Grazie!

Reducing swap and swappines as suggested made the phone more responsive.

Hope not only for today....:rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] 1024k:
Put the firerat patch into your sdcard root, then goto the terminal

su (enter)

sh /sdcard/fr-patch140.txt swap (enter)

when it ask for swappines (between 1 and 100) set 40 then will ask to mount the file.

Say yes and set 32 (32mb) for swap.

Wait until the process end.

Type free into the terminal and see the amount.
[G1 Android Development] ReTro FuZe:
Thanks man...its better now
[G1 Android Development] v3dran:
NP man ;)..now just let it do it's thing, don't change anything, let it come all together, and after few reboots you'll see what's speed :D...i'm using 10 widgets on 5 screens on my Magic 32B (the slow one :D) and have NO problems at all..good luck
[G1 Android Development] ReTro FuZe:
yea, i have the same phone :D thanks :)
[G1 Android Development] Momotombo:
I'm having speed issues on my G1. It takes forever for almost anything to happen at all. For example, I got an important call the other day and the phone app wouldn't even open up so I could take it. Also, sometimes when I try to wake the phone up from sleep mode it's extremely slow.

Today when I woke up it took about 5 to 10 minutes just to turn the alarm off.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? I've used CM6 before and it's usually pretty fast, but it didn't have apps2sd or anything like it, so I'm using this rom now.
[G1 Android Development] tbaxter08700:

Everyone, I got a new battery and all my crazy issues are resolved. It's weird that it was the battery, but hey it's Linux, go figure. Heheh.

No crashes, no crazy battery percentages, no crashes that require being plugged in to reboot, etc...

Also, I tried a few other roms to see if it was the roms fault, and this is definitely the best, fastest, and most stable Froyo.

So yeah, most of our batteries are two years old and they are only $10-$20 on amazon to replace.
