Hey just to throw this out there Chromersmith.

I flashed 3.9 from a fresh clean re-partitioning of my sdcard and of course wiping everything. I had zero issues with the market. I could download everything just fine. My specs are in my sig as usual.

Gonna give this new version a go and try your recommendation on the Keep Home in Memory setting...right now I have them both checked and I am dying with the home reloads.

By the way...I always come back to this rom. I used to always go back to Super CSDI when I was flashing donut roms, but now that I am flashing Eclair/Froyo roms...this is my go to fall back rom when the rom I flash sucks.

Thanks again for this amazing rom...seriously.
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Hey dude thank YOU for all of your help on this thread! It only seemed to be an issue on G1s without apps2sd on. Was you apps2sd on when you tried downloading, in my tests, switching it off would result in anything I DL'd not installing but as soon as I switched it to on I could install. Its all pretty weird I tell ya!
[G1 Android Development] robkoehler:
I was having market install issues when i did a clean install on my mt1.2. No ext partition since i don't need apps2sd.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
EDIT: Did you mean to remove the fire rat patch from the latest version? It was in 3.9 but not in the latest. I added it, its all good, but was just curious if it was intentional or not.

Np I enjoy helping people out. Hah well I guess that's why the issue never occured then. I always turn Apps2SD on right away. My routine usually goes like this...

Flash Chromatic 3.9.1

Reboot

Wait for 3g/Edge Icon to appear

Skip, skip, skip through setup.

Turn Apps2SD on / Unknown Sources On

Change launcher settings

Import XML for Spare Parts colors

Reboot

Install SetCPU (clock down cause my G1 cant handle 528+)

Open market and sign into Google account

Hit the home button instead of "Agree" and let my phone sync

Install Titanium Backup

Reboot

Batch restore all my apps

Open Market and click "Agree"

Set up swap/compache (I actually have switched to 32mb swap instead of compcache now) Before my swap partition was huge (196) and it caused the rom to bog out...but with 32mb swap it runs very good.:D

I think if those who have issues in this thread (I can only speak for G1 users) tried this method, they would be without issues. And much happier.:D
[G1 Android Development] BorLEH:
clean version

hey chrome! Thanks for the avatar link! =)

I also wanted to ask you, if you could make a clean version of this rom. I posted about this earlier, but I think you didn't get it. that's cool...

So I was wondering if you could implent that on the side of your next build? greatly appreciate it man!

Again... your rom is the best out for an eclair rom!!! thanks for all your hard work!

Manage Applications Freeze Up ?

Is there a fix for this particular issue?

When I delete an app from Manage Applications in the Settings menu, the applications never seem to reload afterwards. I need to quit out and go back in to delete another application. Rather annoying. How can this be resolved, is there a setting I missed somewhere ?

Thanks for your assistance.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Its been a bug in cm5 since day 1. It happens to us all no worries.
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Whoops forgot to mention that I moved it to system/etc with the same name sorry about that. I will update the OP! Thanks!

Thinking about it :)

As G1forFun said its a CM issue, best bet is to download uninstaller and use that as your place to manage apps. Quick!
[G1 Android Development] kwrose14:
I will do that and use that work around.

Also everytime I seem to upgrade this mod, I get complaints that my old text messages are once again being recieved. Is there a particular reason that happens ?
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Another cool feature of CM :-/ its in there to prevent you from missing texts if you flash to a new ROM
[G1 Android Development] kwrose14:
My fault, perhaps I didnt specify properly, they are receiving previous text messages I have sent again, and again even if they are days old everytime I flash or update this Mod.
[G1 Android Development] thricemin:
Is there a stock white chromactic? :D
[G1 Android Development] raven_raven:
Stock white chromatic with default battery icons and coloristic would be great :). All this theming you've dome is superb, but I like to change things, and with your superfast ROM it would be great :). Sorry for my english, I experience massive hangover right now and it's hard to think :P.

Had some issues with installing on 3.9. I did wipe before flashing ofc. Now I'm on 3.9.1 and I pray for Market to work, because I love Chromatic and I want to use it as my daily driver :).

Many thanks for your work, I don't know what you did, but it works perfectly and there is no faster ROM than yours! If you ever want some feedback about how your ROM is doing on G1 you can count on me :).

Ah, I just remembered! There is on bugging me thing. Why does the ROM downloads all the apps I have ever downloaded from the Market? I don't use google backup, I uncheck all the options at the setup but still it automatically installs about 20 apps. I've got a huge data plan so it does not cost me, but it simply annoys me. I wonder if there is solution for this problem.
[G1 Android Development] bradleyG:
No wipe from 3.7? or yes?
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
You don't have too, but I would recommend wiping.
[G1 Android Development] HTCMDA:
How do i leave just the app drawer button/dots visible.

it's either gone, or just shows up when pressed.

how do i make only the dots show up with no background clear/black square?

EDIT: Why does this rom take FOREEEEEVER to load? its pretty bad at least for me. slowest boot of all the 2.1's i've tried.
[G1 Android Development] Noslice2002:
Anyone else have serious battery drain issues with this rom? I love using it, but after some light browsing and texting, and a couple of manual updates from twitter

and facebook (they do not update automatically), my battery drains like crazy. Can't even make it through an 8 hour shift at work without having to charge. Any ideas? Love the rom, just wish my phone could last all day, especially when I'm not near a charger. Thanks
[G1 Android Development] 1024k:
Flashed over 3.7 without any issue.

Check out this:

[G1 Android Development] charzarn:
All I have to say is IV loved your roms the most but I just don't see me coming back from 2.2 it was a nice run for me though your awesome
[G1 Android Development] Stoo85:
chromatic website is OFFLINE :(

download mirror ?
[G1 Android Development] bert269:
Apparently not....

Got time on my hands to try this rom out.....but now I cannot download 3.9.1 - I guess I'll have to try 3.9 for now.
[G1 Android Development] CoopZor:
Is the RAM hack enebled here ?

Runs great on my G1, thanx mate !
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
There is no ramhack in eclair roms...
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
http://chromatic.r00t.la/ seems to be up and working fine. What are you guys seeing?
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
2.2 Chromatic coming soon. Come baaaack :P
[G1 Android Development] bradleyG:
any ideas when chromatic froyo will be done? :)

ADW Launcher

Thanks for the great ROMs. Best ever.

Just wondering if theres a way to flash the new ADW launcher (1.0.1) over the current one. The new launcher is awesome, just dont want it to be like ahome, as it lags when pressing the home key. Cheers.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Yeah let me dig up the link for you...You would just flash the rom, and then flash this launcher right over the rom. Or if your already running the rom, then just flash this without a wipe.

edit: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7206918&postcount=1970

For this rom on a G1/Mytouch you would want the 5.0.8 MDPI version.

By the way...I recommend everyone flash to this newer version of the launcher, its so damn sexy.
[G1 Android Development] phillmiester:
Thanks heaps! Your a legend :D In conjunction with the 'one' them...Android ownage (Y)
[G1 Android Development] CoopZor:
Thanx for the link and explanation.

Installed the new version, but what is the difference ?

It looks the same if you ask me.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
The major new addition is the theme section under settings for the launcher. Also, hes always working out little bugs and making overall improvements to the launcher.

Check out AnderWeb's site for all the latest on his launcher.

http://jbthemes.com/anderweb/
[G1 Android Development] CoopZor:
Can we put a link in the startpost, so we can always have the latest version ?

BTW, this theming thing is cool ! thanx all !
[G1 Android Development] Jdom58:
G1 thanks for that link!! Man that launcher just keeps getiin better and better, the themes are just the icing on the cake :D
[G1 Android Development] fritzmann:
Thanks for this great ROM!

CM6RC1 could not kick me like this!

Great!
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Okay so when the oc kernels for came out I was not able to get my phone to run stable past 528.

Even at 576 I would experience slow downs and sluggishness after a minute or two.

I have been messing around with my oc lately on the latest Chromatic and wow I am impressed.

I never was able to run these speeds without my phone rebooting or locking up rather quickly.

I have been running 3.9 on 614 mhz for the past couple days and man is it fast. The battery goes faster but oh well, I don't mind charging it constantly.

Check this out. :)

528mhz

576mhz

614mhz

633mhz
[G1 Android Development] fritzmann:
After testing adw themes i can not find the nice dark cloudy chromatic background wallpaper anymore. Can you help?
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Have you checked Chromersmith's website? I think on the downloads page he has a zip with wallpapers in it. Probably has the one your looking for in it.
[G1 Android Development] HTCMDA:
anyone?....
[G1 Android Development] CoopZor:
Is it possible/advisable to use SWAP, and where do i turn it on ?
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Its in the first post of the thread.

Can enable swap using included firerat patch

From terminal (enter after each line)

su

sh /system/etc/fr-patch133.txt swap

I use 32mb swap and this rom flies.

It is not recommended to use anything more than 32mb. (By chromersmith)
[G1 Android Development] ArionRickAllen:
Would really like an answer to why

my G1 seems to shut off for now aparent reason. Using the newest 3.9.1.
[G1 Android Development] fritzmann:
Easy! Thank you!
[G1 Android Development] Destriant:
Really sluggish on my G1 w/ Compcache on and off. No swap. Searched through the thread bug I don't see anyone else with performance issues. Any thoughts?

~2.3 MFLOPS on Chromatic 3.9.1

~4.7 MFLOPS on Super E 1.0.3
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Your comparing JIT to no JIT and its linpack. Cmon now. Use SETCPU's built in benchmark to get a better real world comparison of a roms speed on a phone.

Don't know why its sluggish for you. Try wiping and flashing again. Repartition and make a 32mb swap. Use that and see how it goes for you, thats what I run.
[G1 Android Development] koreancanuck:
I get 2.5 on chromatic with compcache on.
[G1 Android Development] phillmiester:
My ear speaker isn't working anymore. Just randomly stopped, so now when I take a call I have to put it on loudspeaker to hear people. Anyway to fix this without wiping and reflashing? Or am I just screwed? :S cheers.

swap and included Firerat script

I have no problem enabling swap using the script included by Firerat but It is only 32mb swap and my swap partition is 96mb. How do I get it to recognize by full swap partition. I have tried using the swapper2 app from the market but it doesn't work with this ROM. Anybody know where I can chanage my swap partition size in the ROM or get swapper 2 to work. :D
[G1 Android Development] sbdags:
96mb swap sounds way too large to me. Why would you want 96mb of apps running in the background on top of what is available in RAM? Defo a battery killer that one. 32mb is more than enough.

In fact 0mb works best on this rom for me anyway ;)
[G1 Android Development] CoopZor:
Used that command line and SWAP is in use i think.

Where can i select haw big the Swap partion is ? i also want to use 32mb swap, where do i select that ?
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Honestly, my swap partition is 32mb so I thought that Firerat's script was loading my swap partition....apparently its just loading 32mb of swap not from my partition though. I really don't know crap about his script, I just know it enables swap some how lol.

edit: Well I took a look at Firerat's script...I have a basic knowledge of programming but I just am not that familiar with the Android part of it. I think it's loading swap from Userinit? Anyone wanna take a look and let me know? I also asked Firerat in his thread, but yeah, feel free to chime in.
[G1 Android Development] CoopZor:
Which code can i undo the swap process ?

I had a spontaneous reboot and it feels slower then without swap.

I want back !
[G1 Android Development] blackvyper:
Anyone else notice a lack of multitasking since 3.7? I flashed 3.7, 3.8 & 3.9 & 3.9.1 but when I use my Opera browser (or any other apps) and try to switch between the two then the app always reloads. Using 3.6 I didn't have this issue, so that's where I'm at now unless there was something I did wrong. Just looking to see of it can be resolved so I can use 3.9.1
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
That is a question better asked in Firerat's thread since it is his script.

And if I knew, I would tell you. I would also like too know how too reverse it.

Apps to Phone

:D Many thanks for all your hard work :D

Works perfect ;), just having one little problem for now :(

I am unable to move Apps to Phone :eek: (I believe this will improve loading time of the app)

:confused: Is there any solution without wiping the phone/reinstall ROM? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] richiehd:
how can i get my carrier name in the pull down to be white? its the only thing bugging me about this AMAZING rom. it' so speedy, i love it. if i cannot get the carrier text white, would i be able to theme this with any cm5 theme flash?

sorry for nooby questions, haha.
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Are you running with Swap enabled? Without Swap I find it rather impossible to do numerous things at once. Most apps you temporarily leave will be reloaded when you return to them.
[G1 Android Development] jgro1976:
Is anyone else still having an issue with GPS working in other apps outside of google maps? Works fine in maps, but tried it for the Genie Widget (no other weather apps installed) and it can't get my location, have one other that can't grab my gps location either.

Damn, sure enough that did it. Doesn't really make sense, but oh well.
[G1 Android Development] mswiss:
awesome rom

you can tell all the hard work you put in on this through the bootloader and everything. I havent run 2.1 in a long time (since like december i think) im amazed at how fast this is.
[G1 Android Development] ArionRickAllen:
Turns out it was my battery that was causing the shutdowns. It makes me feel like it's not because it will come back on (at times) and show about 60% battery left. Then in 5 min or less shut off again.

Love this ROM. Thank you for all your hard work.

FROYO?

just wondering

Is there a expected release date for Chromatic-Froyo?

Cause Cyanogen 6 isnt really working out for me just yet
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
He has a beta froyo that is being tested as we speak.
[G1 Android Development] Alankrut:
k, thx

hopefully it comes out soon
[G1 Android Development] malus83:
I can not wait it comes :)

I'm so excited!

W chromesmith :)
[G1 Android Development] pandam00nium:
I'm really looking forward to it as well. Used Cyanogen 6 for about a day and it was nice, but I like the Chromatic mods. I'm still using 2.1 since I didn't feel like wiping just for small updates. :P
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Froyo...soon...? :)
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
I cannot wait for your Froyo version. Was using Chromatic from the start till Rc1 came out. Now I cant see any reason to go back to Ecliar lol
[G1 Android Development] malus83:
I just read some stuff about the Froyo platform but I did not understand a part:

Is it means that we'll have a better management on the side of wipe?

Is this the same thing that titanium backup already does?

However I see that the global performances increase up to 3-5x, I hope that this test are valid also for us owner of G1 and MT3G :)

Hi all!

malus
[G1 Android Development] CoopZor:
The G1 does not support JIT, so the speedincrease because of that wil not be for us.

I think the speed will be comparable to this recent ROM
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
It means that apps are going to start having the ability to store to external storage (sdcard) rather than by what we have been manipulating our apps to do all along with apps 2 sd.

And no, froyo will not be 3x-5x faster on a G1. It's already been discussed that it lacks enough internal memory to reap the entire benefit of JIT.
[G1 Android Development] malus83:
:( I already had the suspicion :(

I have a HTC Magic, I hope that it can reap much benefits! But the differences with the G1 are not so much.

However... :) some kind of benefits there will be :) ...

GO Chromatic GO

Chromatic Works Wonders :D
[G1 Android Development] fatduke720:
If this comes out today that would be an awesome birthday present for me!

YEESSS, Chromer.... make a good present to fatduke ;) ... and to us!!!
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
I will see what I can do ;)
[G1 Android Development] CoopZor:
What are your thoughts about it ? wil it go faster ?

Keep up the good word dude !
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Uh ohhhh, someone dropped their Froyo release. :D Thanks dude!

But I am going to hold off until that "Lock home in memory feature is added," that thing is a life saver.

And its not hard to hold off when your already on such an amazing rom anyway.:p
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Happy Birthday fatduke720! FROYO!!!!

W00t Chromatic Froyo is live see the OP!!! It is slightly faster than eclair, but time will tell how fast we can push this thing. Work with me here on this! Its up to daily driver point in my eye, thus why I am releasing. Might not be quite up to 3.9 speeds yet but we will get there!
[G1 Android Development] castaway1:
gapps-mdpi-FRF91-signed.zip is needed ?
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Nope, included.
[G1 Android Development] LinkinX:
Thanks for the release!

Any idea if I have used Firerat's Custom MTD Partitions, and have it set to 90mb for System and 2mb for Cache, will this fit and run correctly?
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
I was considering including that in this release, but didn't get around to it. But it should fit no problem. I would like to hear how it performs though!
[G1 Android Development] Necrobutcher:
Just flashin my first Chromatic ROM... :P

think I've read something with 2.1 in the bootanimation :P
[G1 Android Development] asb123:
Could you consider releasing MTD optimised versions in the future (or just make it mandatory as there is absolutely no risk to the user only upsides), kind of like what jcarzz did to a few roms where he got rid of symlinks and other stuff (pretty much make it take up more space but with more speed and stability)

Also, are you still including mytouch music in your roms? that app is GREAT!
[G1 Android Development] LinkinX:
Will give a flash when I get home and let you know how it goes
[G1 Android Development] kowal_001:
how can I enable ext partition? Or maybe, is it possible to enable ext partition?

Rom works great. it is wery smooth and fast. It works without wipe on 3.9.1 but i had some problems with google account, so wipe i necessary.
[G1 Android Development] CoopZor:
Installing as we speak :)

Never change the bootscreen man, reminds me of the good old pc days.

Those were the days :o)
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Flashed 4.0. Constant reloading of the launcher when exiting apps. Enabled Swap now, see how that changes things. If not, it's back to 3.9 for now ;)

[Edit] Well, after enabling Swap (64MB in this case) all is great again. Very nice Rom. No reloadings of anything yet, smoothhhh. Great job! :D
[G1 Android Development] CoopZor:
I lost all my installed apps, i installed them on my sd card.

Is there a way to get them back ?

Market does not work, i think i have to wipe before i install.

Will look into it tomorrow.
[G1 Android Development] motoman234:
You know... I was wondering the same thing. How come in froyo you can download the apps to your SDfat but if you wipe data there gone? I think it sucks. Atleast with the old eclair way you wouldnt lose your apps.
[G1 Android Development] smooth3d:
After I installed 4.0 my settings under cyn mod settings wont stay. im trying to enable compcach and jit and remove dithering, but after reboot it goes back to default.
[G1 Android Development] rsfaze:
because froyo does not handle app2sd like eclair did. Eclair looked for an ext partition, Froyo uses the fat32 partition.
[G1 Android Development] kowal_001:
i found a way to get acces to your ext partition.

put file patch.exe on root of your sdcard. Open the terminal emulator and type

then reboot your phone.

Instal root explorer and find folder sd-ext. There are our apps. You need to reinstal them.

This script also enable swap.

sory for my bad english.

First common sense might tell you that since its compressed in zip format.... maybe unzipping it?? lol

Just flashed 4.0 directly over the Cyan 6.0.0 Rc1 and no problems at all. kept my boot screen, kept my apps, LWP, theme, settings etc...... All working fine. Whats funny.. is that I think This rom is still using the .90 version of ADW, which when it flashed over, put the ADW setting in setting and in the menu section, yet kept the paperless theme lol
