you can

but they wont work
[G1 Android Development] rufh_s:
I do not find any differences speed wise but honestly Superbad 1.4 is better themed ( i am waiting for black themed version of this rom...desperately :)

that's AWD launcher :D

+1 for this ROM for battery life.. but using superbad 1.4 i dont have any battery problems either.... (may be cos i use extended 2400 mAh)

GPS is working fine for me
[G1 Android Development] ryaninc:
Okay, I'm liking this update a lot, overall, but I'm having one issue. Apps2SD seems to work, but only for existing apps that were already on the ext partition. Any new apps that I try to install (or even update existing apps), I get an insufficient storage error. If Apps2SD is unchecked, installs and updates work fine, but obviously use internal storage. Any ideas?

My thinking is to try formatting the card and re-creating the partitions, but that's a big pain and I don't wanna do that if there's another explanation.

Thoughts?
[G1 Android Development] arefin:
Why compare with other Eclairs?

Hey buddies,

looks like the time to compare this Eclair with another eclair has gone...this is far too fast and responsive for the Eclair Era...I think this is now ready for to be compared with a Donut ROM in terms of speed and stability if that what count for most of us.

I have tried most ROMs in this forum....almost all Donuts and many Eclairs.

Coming from Super Bad 1.4 and I have to say, the 'Battery life' and 'application response' with this one has inspired me to stay on this, I dont care or less care about beauty..because when it all go on the performance and you have to rush through your phone book for someones contact number or address while on a phone call and you would also need to navigate to that contact....and you have to bla bla bla with some apps....and you have to ....do that or this then you really realise how much you wanted your phone to be just a little bit faster and snappier than it is!!!...

Now the zist of it,

1. Fastest Eclair or one of the fastest out there (dont forget I am humble to Super Bad as well)

2. Stable, no problem ever since packed this ROM up on my G1

3. BATTERY life which really a deal breaker for many with Super Bad, is way so better

4. Application response: another area this one leaved the others in stone age

5. Thanks
[G1 Android Development] Lukas94:
Sorry but I don´t like the new version because my G1 reboots every time I plug in my USB cable!!
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
@teejay did they come out with a new ADW Launcher i see you have 0.8.6 im on 7.8 is urs the same as a replacement? if so ill download it so i can update my ADW Launcher..
[G1 Android Development] twics:
Thanks for your advice:) will try it.
[G1 Android Development] Dodgerone:
@ukG1Freak: that dont worx on this Custom Rom (Msg says it dont works for Widgets). Google-Bar I cant remove too... I found no settings for this
[G1 Android Development] Aznneedlovetoo:
How fast is this rom?
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Yeah the latest version is 0.8.6. The link to the flashable system version is in my sig (note that the ADW part is actually two separate links).
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
Pretty damn fast..
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
Cool i downloaded it already and already flashed it to the phone.. thanks..
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
No problem man..
[G1 Android Development] Aznneedlovetoo:
My G1 is having trouble booting up.. Its been going constant bootloop for over 20 minutes. I think I did everything right.

I wiped before flashing and im on EXT-3

My swap-size is 64. Any help would be very much appreciated.

I also have the Danger SPL and the latest Radio.

I flashed the ROM the Wifi-Patch and the Black theme all at once. Do you think that was the problem?
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Did you follow the flashing guide?
[G1 Android Development] Aznneedlovetoo:
o sheiiit... hahaha didn't see that thanks buddy! :)
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I just noticed this part of the flashing guide. Why is the EXT partition "required" for the G1, but not the MT3G? I don't have any partitions on my SD, and everything runs fine. The one thing that doesn't work on my phone is restoring of Nandroid backups. Could me not having an EXT partition be why?
[G1 Android Development] Tom in AZ:
I just installed this ROM for kicks and because I was to see the difference from CM 5.0.8 DS, and I did a complete full wipe, set up the SD partitions 256mb/512mb/6+gb. The install went fine, I used spare parts to change the font colors and stuff, but by the time I got that done, all of my old apps that I had installed on the other build that started to install themselves automatically. I did not select that last option in the sign in process to connect the apps to the cloud. Did anyone else come across this? Maybe I just did something wrong.
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
I think the Problem was u having such a small swap try 160 or 128.. n i sugguest you flash the ROM first then load up the phone put the phone on A2SD then reboot n flash the GAPP zip reboot n if you wann keep A2SD on then do so then do the Firerat Patch n reboot then flash the wifi patch n then the black theme.. thats how ive always done it n its worked everytime..
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
You did not select the Google Backup setting and the old apps were still reinstalled?
[G1 Android Development] Tom in AZ:
Yeah, didn't even know that was possible. It had my desktop background and all, it blew my mind.

In any case... I ended up formatting again, wiping and the whole 9 yards. Even went as far as to kill the partitions and redo those. The phone is running better now, and this time it did not auto install all of that stuff. I also went back to CMs build to see the difference, and there was a lot. Something was just acting weird.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Yeah, that's probably was the problem. I tried doing them all at once at first too and was stuck in a loop of the boot animation.

It's not REALLLLLLLY required for a G1... but, in the efforts of avoiding space issues later from app overload I figured it was best. It doesn't hurt, that's for sure. As for why it's not required on MT3Gs, they have a ton more internal space for apps - according to Titanium I have 80+ user installed apps... and per Quick Settings I have about 190mb free on the internal memory. It's highly unlikely I'll ever run out of internal.

It might be the reason why the Nandroids aren't working for you, but I'm not really sure. The only time I've ever used it was when I first rooted. My 16gb card showed up in the mail just before my phone did, so after I rooted, I did a Nan of the original TMO ROM on the stock card and tucked it away for safe keeping. Since then, it's been BART all the way for my backups.
[G1 Android Development] twics:
Market

Anyone noticed that when you download an app from the market that in the notification bar it tells you download complete or successfully installed but in the Market its still downloading, iv seen this happen on another Rom.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
I've noticed it too. It's not an all the time thing tho.
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
Ive noticed it as well.. But not all the time as well..

Let the FroYo panting begin. ;)
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
Froyo just hit AOSP today.. Hint Hint Hint Cannon..
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
I just read it on cyanogen twitter that they just released the open source n cyanogen is already started working on CM6 might be out by tonight..
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Damn that boy works fast!
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
Thats what i was saying.. Cannon needs to get on the ball.. lol

I saw something mentioned on his Twitter Account so i dont know if its true but from the looks of it he might have something for us tonight..
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
I'd much rather wait and have something stable as a daily driver then go through a bunch of test runs though.
[G1 Android Development] Aznneedlovetoo:
So true... Its gonna take forever to get a stable and fast Froyo rom running on our G1s.
[G1 Android Development] ukG1freak:
I take it this means the CyanogenMod team will put a hault to releasing anymore versions of CM5 and start working on CM6? As stated on anotehr forum it would be impossible for Cyan & Co to release a working version of Froyo as it merges partly with CM5; they'd have to iron out the small bugs totally and then begin to attack the SC for 2.2 ...

Sounds like a nice little challenge for the Devs out there!!

Better start chugging those cans of Red Bull Cannon :D
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
If anything comes out in the next week I'm sure it would be a test version. I only flash stable ROMs though. It may be a while before CM6 stable for D/S is released, but hopefully not too long. :)
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I finally figured out why Nandroid restore wasn't working for me. The backups I was trying to restore were created when I had the stock SPL, but I was trying to restore them after switching to DangerSPL. A fresh backup restored with no problems! I'm actually a little embarrassed it took me so long to figure that out. :o
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
Yea i know but thats what i have a G1 for.. For testing.. lol..
[G1 Android Development] sleepyfu:
That's because you are dropping it into the dock bar as shortcut instead of the trash can, your finger/thumb needs to be on top the trash can when release to delete short cut/widget
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
I think Cannon is working hard on Froyo.. he's been silent for a couple of days.. lol
[G1 Android Development] eadred:
He's not, he has no more phone. Had to send his G1 back in warranty and will receive a 32b in return. And as we all know it may take time...
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
So here's a weird one for you guys...

Any ideas how I could have gotten dust particles under the touch screen - but above the actual display? Seriously, no joke. It's not dead pixels either, since it's very clearly visible on anything dark or if the screen is off. Maybe it was a bad idea to do those couple of lines off of it? I'm kidding. :eek:

I don't know if they've always been there, but I noticed them the other day... it's a real pisser, now that I've seen it, I can't UN-see it. It's like seeing the wires for a special effect in your fav childhood sci-fi movie... now that's all you see.
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
Ok But u need the phone to test the ROM not to write the ROM there r different programs to test the ROM as well.. I understand what ur saying but he can be putting something together for us without a phone..
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
I'm starting to think Gen had OFD... obsessive flashing disorder. ;):p
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
Oh man i hate that.. I havent had it happen to me but i saw it on a friends MT3G phone n it had the same thing.. He told me it was the Steam from the shower becuz he had it in the Bathroom when he was taking a shower.. I dont know if something like that would have made that happend but it might have..
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
lmao.. :D nah.. well maybe becuz i do try alot of different ROMs on my G1..
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Take my fancy phone anywhere near moisture?!?! Oh, hell no! The only time mine is in the bathroom is... well, never mind that... but I'll just say that I've now read the first 2 Harry Potter books entirely on my phone, and leave it at that. HA!

It's not noticeable most of the time, so it's more or less ignorable. I'm just pretty damn confused on how it could have happened. I'm almost at my 1 year mark with it, so probably by the time I'm due for an upgrade next year there will be some 2ghz super-ultra-mega phone to be had. :eek:
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
If my understanding of CE is correct, he's not working on it at all. He'll wait until CM6 is released and then perform his modifications on it (whatever those actually are, lol).

Sorry man, I have no idea. I don't have any dust, but I do have two dead pixels. They're permanently green whenever the screen is on. The thing is, I can barely see them and only see them when most of the screen is black and only if I look very closely. Still, for a 8 month old phone that's been babied it's entire life, to have that is disappointing.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Well, from what I've been reading, FroYo is easier to build from scratch now... so who knows. I've also read that it's AnySPL right out of the box - and should work just fine on G1s with the stock SPL. T-Mo hasn't fully ruled out the possibility yet of updating G1s to it either.

Ouch. I wouldn't wish dead pixels on anyone. At least we're not having the screen issues I've been reading about with the EVO... dead pixels from the start and replacements having poor screens that are dimmer. I'll take a speck or two of dust over that any day.

My last phone, a Razr (the T-Mo one with the etched dragon... it was hot), ended up getting a dead pixel near the end of its useage... and oddly enough, the sticky gasket that held the screen on the inside portion got warped as well and had started to creep towards the actual visible area on one side. I was already a full 6 months overdue for my upgrade at that point - and other then those two things, and some very minor battle damage from the rare drop, it was in pretty much perfect condition.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
It's really not bad at all. I had a Samsung SGH-T619 that developed a dead pixel one day, and it was painfully obvious...stood out like a sore thumb. The two on my G1 you can barely see and only in certain conditions. 99.9% of the time I don't even know they're there. Still pisses me off though.

At this point, I'm unsure what Cannon has planned. He did hint a few days ago that he'll have a Froyo version out soon, so maybe it won't be CM-based. Then again maybe it will if drivers are an issue like they were with Eclair. I hadn't heard anything about the AnySPL thing though, where did you read that?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
Well if froyo is AnySPL out of the box we can shrink system down and move that over to data and do away with cache ;)

Check the system 90 data114 link in my sig for details

Oh and you can do it now with ce221 and have data at 114 on a g1 ( can't test but probably +75mb on mt3g )

Kewl huh :D

Would love feedback in that thread, dangere none danger mt3g etc

Its beta so, tbh if you don't know what fastboot is you should hold off for the moment

I only really have 2 confirms that its working

One is mine
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
I was actually PMing Cannon yesterday about coordinating the post with me so I can get the #2 - 4 posts and continuing to manage the FAQ and guides for the FroYo release... the hint he gave a few days ago to Gen was just a him being a tease (sorry Gen!)... he said there was no point in him doing a FroYo build yet since there was still so much broken with it. (At least, that's what he told me.)

Here's the link to A&M where I read about the AnySPL... and another one on AndroidGuys.

Holy crap! It's nice to see you back with us. We were starting to think you were gone for good.

I actually saw that thread yesterday and subscribed to it... it looks pretty exciting. I've only used fastboot once on my phone, so I'm not real familiar with it... I'll probably hold off on that for now. Or maybe I'll do a little reading up on things and give it a whirl, but probably not anytime soon, too many other things on my plate at the moment.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
As long s you can flash a recovery via fastboot you should be ok

Even if you can't fastboot the risk is minimal, but it makes sense at this early stage to filter
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
Welcome back!!!! Question Can we do that in Recovery or only in Fastboot? I see its only in Beta so maybe ill wait till its outta beta but will you have a recovery method of doing that or will it only be in Fastboot?
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
Well i did the ADB setup i saw my Serial Number of the phone.. But for some reason just so i can see if i can get fastboot in the Android SDK i download it from Google there is no Opition in tools for fastboot..
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
If I remember correctly, if you hold down Back (or was it Search) while booting it'll drop into fastboot... I'm sure a quick Google search would also answer the question too.

Maybe ask in the thread FR has linked though, since there are others there working with it (and to avoid confusing noobs reading this for the first time).
[G1 Android Development] Cannon202:
Lol well actually only CE 2.1-2.2.1 are CM based,:p

If I can get everything working just fine before CM6 is released there will be no need to base it off CM
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Oh I know...2.0 and earlier was totally independent. :)

Looking forward to it! I really like that you don't round off the upper corners like CM, and that you always have a ready-made, flashable black bar mod.
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
HA i knew it.. I was right he is working on Froyo.. Cool cant wait.. I know it'll be good becuz your working on it..
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
Im loving the new XDA forums..
[G1 Android Development] Aznneedlovetoo:
that was a bit random ;)
[G1 Android Development] Kainzo:
meh. Could be better.
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
Cool ill see if i can find out more about it..
[G1 Android Development] TheLaughingMan:
I usually hold the camera button and the power button to get into fast boot (well, you'll have to hit back once the white screen comes up). I think you can also do it by rapidly hitting the back button during boot...seems more difficult though
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
CHeck it out CM6 working on a G1/MT3G Looks like we might see it faster then we thought.. This is one of the guys working on CM6 with CyanogenMom.. So far so good..

Hack for AZERTY keyboard

For people from France with a French hardware keyboard (AZERTY).

I modified arceles script and system files in order to make it work.

1. Download the file attached to this post

2. Extract it to the root of your sd card

3. In Terminal Emulator or through adb shell

su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/usr/keychars/
dd if=/sdcard/trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin of=trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin
cd ../keylayout/
dd if=/sdcard/trout-keypad-v3.kl of=trout-keypad-v3.kl
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
reboot

It should reboot and be allright :)

PS :

Alt+T = " (double-quote)

Alt+O = ' (simple-quote)
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Nice job! I added this to the FAQ post. :D
[G1 Android Development] sleepyfu:
If you have setcpu and set on boot options is checked w/ reasonable speed selected (under 600mzh recommended), you can flash any of the OC kernels and it will boot fine. (just in case you didn't know)

Dumfuq's kernel is now v8 final.

oc825-cm-2.6.34-8final.zip

I don't know how old this is but check out SlideScreen on the Market, it's a home replacement unlike any other.
[G1 Android Development] Aznneedlovetoo:
Im kind of a noob when it comes to this type of stuff so excuse me if this sounds dumb... But would flashing that Kernel make my phone go faster? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Are you sure? I tried one of his 'xtra' kernels (v6 maybe). After flashing it and setting the max speed to 576, it booted fine, but I started getting some FCs so I rebooted. It would then freeze at the G1 screen every time, so I reverted to the stock CE2.2.1 kernel. I'd like to try the new v8 kernel, but not if it's not 100% stable.
[G1 Android Development] sleepyfu:
The "xtra" kernels are pershoots, I have not been using those so don't know of issues.

I usually wipe the Dalvik and do a permission fix when flashing anything new. and make sure the set-on-boot is checked.

As for dumfuq's V8, it has the choppy pandora play back and the music player random restarts like the older pershoots kernel, which is odd, I thought they got that figured out.

So I am back on v7.
[G1 Android Development] sleepyfu:
dumfuq's kernel keeps apps in memory longer as far as I know, I don't ever use the back key to get out of the apps (home key only), it tends to pop right back up to where I left it when going back, which in turn makes the phone "faster". Minfree manager also helps apps not getting clean out of the memory to soon as well.

Side note, I played with the mytouch 1.2 (3.5mm jack), which has more ram, but damn, I didn't know it was that much more. gmail, text, contacts, calender, music blah blah blah 5 or 6 apps in back ground and it's showing 80mb free. Each time I launched one more app, I pressed the phone key, ban dialer came right up. grrr, may as well just upgrade instead. I am pissed that HTC would build mytouch 1st gen this way.

Poll: buy MT3g-1.2 for $99, or just get N1 and be happy.
[G1 Android Development] sleepy3194:
lol.

[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
Been Missing for a few days.. anything new?
[G1 Android Development] Cannon202:
I finally got my new MyTouch 1.2!
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
Oh damn so u got a 32A.. thats not good for us 32B users.. So hows FroYo treating u?
[G1 Android Development] Cannon202:
Yea 32A unfortunately...I just got it a couple hours ago so no FroYo...I gotta figure out how to root this thing
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Congrats! I hope you keep developing for the 32B though.
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
Check out unLockr.com Thats how i learned how to root my MT3G.. They pretty much have Hot To DO's for every phone.. oh was talking about how is developing FroYo.. lol
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Congrats on the new rig!
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
Damn Teejay everytime i look at your sig.. i see you have a new update for ADW lol 8.8 now downloading it now n i see he's coming out with a 8.9?
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Good, that's why I have it there! :) Yeah, 0.8.9 was released in the Market yesterday and Cloverdale is working on the flashable system version right now. He's having some issues with it, so it's taking a little longer than normal, but it should be ready later today.
[G1 Android Development] Cannon202:
Ok Im all rooted and ready to work:D
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
I tried flashing 8.8 over 8.7 n it didnt work do we have to do something special? Would i have to remove launcher again n then reflash it?
[G1 Android Development] qwerty3656:
There was nothing in the FAQ's about Firerat's "system 90 data114". Have people installed that over this ROM?
[G1 Android Development] Cannon202:
anybody got a dl link to Swype?
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
I believe Teejay or tsheely has them on there sig.. i think its tsheely..
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
With it being a new project still in beta testing, it's unlikely I'll add it to the FAQ until he's got it stable and simplified. That being said, I've only briefly skimmed through the thread - so it might be more stable then I know. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong though.

We could very well see Cannon using this in his upcoming FroYo ROM - don't go quoting me on that tho, I'm just pulling that idea randomly out of my bum... who knows how the crazy minds of these devs works. :rolleyes:

I don't know if any one has tried it, but I don't plan on it... not yet at least.
