Does this mean wifi will not work unless this patch is flashed, or is this ONLY if I need wifi to sign into google?
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
You know, I'm honestly not sure what the Wifi patch does.

Your best bet though is to skim through the faq, follow the flashing guide and check out the tweaking tips - all linked in my sig. That will get you up and running smoothly for sure.

As a note tho, the ADW item in the tips post needs a little reworking. The way I wrote it, it'll revert back to Dr Clovetdales version after a reboot... not a big deal tho, I'll rewrite it tonight.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Sorry, I don't monitor this thread much anymore so I missed this post. Yes, that is the method for installing the system version.
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
Thanks for your help. Another question, this is more general.

When installing ROMs, is it necessary to partition my sd card if I don't plan on using SWAP or APPS2SD? The reason I ask is that the card reader on my laptop can't read it if it's partitioned and I don't plan on using those features anyway.

I just wasn't sure if those partitions are needed during the install process, or what?
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
If you're talking about ROMs in general, that's dependent on the individual ROM. Neither one is actually needed for CE... even if you're on a G1/Dream, just as long as you keep the number of apps down. The only special requirement for a G1 is Danger SPL, if you're on a MT3G/Magic32B then you're good to go with the stock SPL and no swap or apps2sd.

I don't use either one, but, since I've got such a big card... what could it hurt to have the space already set aside in case I needed it later.

Can you not use the USB cable for your phone with your laptop and just mount the card that way - without taking it out of the phone?

(Give yourself a sig with your phone info... it helps us help you. ;))
[G1 Android Development] klaydze:
This rom is really fast!!! My previous rom was chromatic 4.5 but its to laggy, compare to this rom it freakin fast. The app2sd is so nice.

At this moment no issues, FC's encountered.

Good job on this rom.

Oh BTW, should i touch the CompCache or leave it? I'm using G1.

Cheers,
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
If you're saying it's already that fast, I say just leave it - if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it.

Speaking of fixing things... I just fixed up the ADW section of my tips post to correctly update you to the newest version from the one packaged with CE.

Next week I'll work on the FAQ post.

Edit: It didn't need too much done, so I just did it.
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
I'm also on a mt3g classic, 32b. Can mount whole phone, just wasn't sure if the flashing process ever requires partitioning?
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
For you, nope... it's totally not needed at all with this ROM. I never use mine. Never an issue with anything in fact.
[G1 Android Development] klaydze:
Thanks for the info. I'm happy to have this rom in my G1. :-)

Cheers
[G1 Android Development] ZaneChua:
Been using a Froyo ROM lately when i got back my G1. Too much crap. Time to come back to this awesome ROM.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Yeah. I tried CM6 just after it went stable... still too many things that need work to make it work as smoothly as CE does.
[G1 Android Development] ZaneChua:
Horrible. My G1 had so many problems. I just realized something. I had been using CE 2.1 before i upgraded to Froyo. I'm so blur. Haha.

EDIT: Oh, and anyone know how to get the Reboot into Recovery function thing.

EDIT 2: Just read your Tips section again. Since this is all like "new" to me again. SetCPU has changed, so i can't OC it to 595. I'm planning to OC it to 614 but how do you do that since SetCPU is auto detecting frequencies.

-Zane
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Wow... 2.1? That's quite a bit ago! Welcome back. :D

For rebooting into recovery - either plug your phone into your computer, open a command prompt: "adb shell reboot recovery" or reboot normally and hold down the home button.

Let SetCPU do the auto-detect - that's just to get the baseline values. You'll then be able to use the sliders to adjust the speed. I found 614 to be a really big battery drain... and a hair unstable for the minor speed increase.
[G1 Android Development] ZaneChua:
Yeah 2.1.

I know how to boot into recovery, if not how would i flash CE 2.2.1 ;) What i'm talking about is the CM6 Reboot into recovery function when you hold down the power button. You get the option reboot, but you can select whether you want to reboot into recovery, into bootloader or just normal reboot.

I did let SetCPU autodetect. I'm on 2.0.3 and i can only slide the max slider to 576 maximum. Hence, my question. :)

-Zane
[G1 Android Development] klaydze:
Hi, I don't know if i'm the only one who experiencing this error in this ROM.

When i changed the picture or even when i add a picture in my specific contacts it always FC to me. Any workaround on this FC?

Thanks and Regards

klaydze
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Ahhh... yes... right-oh... of course you know how to get into recovery. Dur. How else would you be able to use 2.1 before.

If I remember correctly, from the day or so that I used CM6... I think the option to select the reboot method was buried in the custom CM menu in settings.

For SetCPU, that's odd. It should let you. Maybe cause you're on a G1?

Hmm. You shouldn't be getting any FCs for that. Maybe you had a bad flash... or didn't wait long enough after first boot. When I rooted my wife's CLIQ, I didn't wait long enough and had all sorts of troubles. Reflashing might help.

How long did you wait? Did you watch the logcat?
[G1 Android Development] sleepyfu:
I posted this bug awhile ago. It does FC(on mine) if you try to change contact icon in the contacts app.

Work around is to open gallery > select pic> menu>more>set-as>contact icon>pick the contact from list
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Odd. I just tried that... no problems here.
[G1 Android Development] sleepyfu:
Odd indeed, oh well. there is a work around anyhow.

Too bad I can't test it again, running CM6 for the time being.
[G1 Android Development] ZaneChua:
Yeah. I wonder if we can port the feature over or if Canon's Froyo is stable enough then it doesn't matter.

I think i need a custom kernel. When i was on CM6, they had a custom kernel that i could overclock to 614. The kernel was by dumfuqs, but i'm not too sure. So i don't really wanna flash the kernel because bells are ringing in my head that i shouldn't do what i am not sure of. Because if i'm not wrong, kernel is the "core" of the operating system.
[G1 Android Development] klaydze:
Yes i did watch the logcat but i touch it even it reads all my files in sdcard. i though it safe now because he just reads all my pictures, mp3s docs etc in the sdcard not in the system.
[G1 Android Development] klaydze:
i tried also the workaround and it do the thing. :) But ofcourse it's better if you can change the picture directly to your contact list. Maybe i'll just reflash the ROM if i have time again.

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
The kernel included with CE should let you though, I didn't flash any special ones to be able to do it.

You can always do a BART backup (or a nan+ext), try it, and revert back if it doesn't work.
[G1 Android Development] ZaneChua:
Will do. :)
[G1 Android Development] ZaneChua:
So i tested the dumfuqs kernel and i flashed it. Now i can OC to 614. However, i am abit curious about something i found out. When i take out my SD Card, my phone refuses to boot. Why is that?
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
My first guess would be that you've got apps2sd turned on... so when the phone goes looking for your sd and can't find it, it doesn't know what to do with itself.

I don't think I've ever taken mine out... except for when I rooted and swapped out the class 4 that came with it. The old card has a nandroid of my original cupcake, and is safely tucked away... likely to never see the light of day again.
[G1 Android Development] ZaneChua:
I think so too. I don't really need apps2sd actually. It's not like i install 500 apps or something, i think the max i'll install is 10. Guess i should reformat my mem stick. I'm not using swap either. I've just made my first nandroid backup, (i know scary) so yeah. Been using the phone for awhile and noticed that dumfuqs 614oc is abit unstable.(Unconfirmed) Only know that, one time my phone was unable to boot and i flashed back another kernel and it booted fine. So i guess the G1's best OC is about 576-595.

-Zane
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Yeah, I found 614 slightly unstable as well... I find 595 to be perfectly stable tho. At least SetCPU now has a safe mode feature if you tweak it too far and can't boot.
[G1 Android Development] captaincrook:
Stock kernel here doesn't seem to be using swap as much, even after setting the swappiness absurdly high so a lotta stuff is getting closed prematurely. I didn't use Firerat's script though (I assume as long as swap gets turned on it shouldn't matter how). Any suggestions?

G1 btw.

EDIT: Wiped, reflashed, and use Firerat's AIO. All is well so far.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Glad to see you got it worked out.

Just so you know though, swap isn't recommended on this ROM. It's noted in the FAQ and flashing guide that it caused random reboots. (Which is the reason I didn't include the swap option in the guide.)
[G1 Android Development] istnag:
i flashed latest rom and i think my phone is flying...I used before this CM6 it was good but a little bit laggy. So thx this rom
[G1 Android Development] captaincrook:
I got it SORTA worked out. It works a little better now but not by much. I just seek multi-tasking on my G1 while being somewhat up to date. I'll probably poke around for a kernel but the responsiveness here is kickass for an Eclair G1 rom.
[G1 Android Development] nickislauw:
So u cant actually multitask with this rom ? :confused::confused:
[G1 Android Development] bubbakadrian:
Helphelphelp

i try to INSTALL applications from markets and from sd card.. and then it shows a message "insufficient storage avaliable." .. whats wrong?
[G1 Android Development] captaincrook:
Well you can do a little bit, just that personally I can't do as much as say, CM 5.0.8, or should I decide to flash the old V7 MT kernel dumfuq compiled. I use swap in my setup.
[G1 Android Development] sleepyfu:
V7 kernel by dumfuq was my fav on this ROM. Also you can install 'minfree' to tweak the low memory limit a little.
[G1 Android Development] Human_Fly:
This rom was really working nice for me, but this morning I ran into a problem and maybee you guys can give a hand with it. I installed the free version of Zenonia (to ext partition) but then my phone started to lag really hard. In the meanwhile I deinstalled the game, cleared cache but it's still slow. Anybody got an idea how to fix this without wiping and flashing the rom all over again? It would really bug me to install all my daily apps and set them up again, so, thanks in advance :)

If it helps here are some specs: 512mb ext3, Amon RA recovery, danger spl, radio: 2.22.19.26I

EDIT: forgot to mention above, it's a t-mobile g1 :)
[G1 Android Development] jdyates:
Just want to say that i think this ROM is freaking amazing on my MyTouch 1.2. All these other ROMs (especially Sense ROMs) are so bloated with useless crap that they lag like crazy. This is bare-bones Eclair. I LOVE it! Has the performance of stock 1.6 rooted, with all the badass-edness of Google's (almost) latest OS! I have Dumfuq's 633MHz Kernel, therefore i can run a LW with little to NO lag! :D
[G1 Android Development] zerodi:
Bro do you have the link for Dumfuq's 633MHz Kernel, ive tried looking but cant find the one thats working for our mt3g 1.2/LE's

thank you

p.s have you tried CM6 stable on the 1.2/LE , would it work ok as its the same cpu and ram as the hero so shouldnt have too much lag
[G1 Android Development] jdyates:
Here you go, man: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=698578

Just make sure the one you flash is in the "Dumfuq" section and isn't one of the 32A Kernels. And for god's sake, DON'T flash the 825MHz Kernel LOL.

And CM6 is absolutely awesome on the 1.2, i am just using Eclair cause' I'm not a big fan of Froyo.
[G1 Android Development] zerodi:
thx you bro :)
[G1 Android Development] Lateralos:
Does anyone know how this stacks up to SuperE? thanks in advance guys
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Somewhere back in the thread there was a review done of about 5 Eclair ROMs... I'm pretty sure SuperE was one of them. I think it was directly after one of the guides in my sig.

I've never had a single problem with CE... it makes an amazing daily driver. I say do a BART and give it a shot.
[G1 Android Development] smtrejo:
Speed improve

I noticed that speed improves if Compache/Swap is set to "Swap" only. I don't know if this is the default selection or if this was mentioned before by tsheeley. You can change this at "Spare parts > Compache/Swap settings".

EDIT: I read on another thread that swap must be "big enough", they recommend 256Mb.
[G1 Android Development] albert1691:
earphones not working

hi there geniuses. i tried flashing complete eclair 2.2.1 and everything works out just fine.this rom is very fast and reliable except for the earphones not working and battery drains a bit fast.. for the earphones this is my issue..whenever i put my earphone and adapter on my old mytouch 3g running complete eclair 2.2.1 custom rom nothing happened.i mean your supposed to hear the sound from the earphones right.in my case its not like that.i can hear the sound coming out of the speaker as if theres no earphones inserted. please fix this problem i really love this rom......pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeee.

begging and thanking:

ALBERT :(
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
For your battery issues, try the tweaking tips linked in my sig. My battery usually lasts all day (and then some) with a moderate about of texting, some web browsing and reading xda via the official app (as I'm doing now). It'll drain pretty fast if I'm remoting into my home machine via logmein... but that also has a constant data stream going, so that's to be expected.

For your headphone issue... I think I remember that being talked about towards the beginning of the thread. I've never used the headset with mine, and I think I might have thrown out my box (with the headphones and adapter inside) when I was doing some pre-wedding cleaning... which was a dumbass move, the myTouch box was awesome.

Try one of the various audio fixes listed in the faq - also in my sig... one of those might help, they sure won't hurt it tho.

As for "fixing" it... I wouldn't count on that ever happening. Some pages ago Cannon made an announcement that he would probably be stopping his development of a Froyo build, and this Eclair build has been in this finished state for quite some time now.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
The super large swaps are mostly a requirement when using a Sense ROM... or a Froyo now. Even though I have the 256mb swap and 512mb ext4 I never use either one with CE.

I keep them around to have a more "universal" setup. Since I have such a big sd card space isn't really a concern for me.

Applied tsheeley Tweaking Tips

Hey tsheeley!

I've applied all your Tweaking Tips and now my G1 is fliying!!!

Thanks man!!! :D
[G1 Android Development] HTCMDA:
What must be done/ how can i just make 1 flashable rom that is black themed from the start.

I hate flashing one item, then flashing the next on top, and then again something else..

anyone know how to include the black theme into the rom to make it a 1 flash process?
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
That sounds like WAY more work than just flashing 3 items.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
In short, no.

Doing all that is WAY more work than flashing 3 zips from recovery... it's not like you're being asked to type out long strings of code into the terminal.

Follow my flashing guide and the advanced tips linked in my sig. It might seem like a lot of work... but it's well worth the effort for an amazingly fast and stable daily driver.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
No problem! I'm glad it continues to be so helpful.
[G1 Android Development] HTCMDA:
I understand that compiling what i want, is way more work than flashing 3 items, but i don't want to have to keep doing it when i switch roms. If adding the black theme into the rom is beyond anyone's know how simply just say so. If not, can you PM me directions or a starting point to do so for my own personal usage? because in the end, i will no longer need to flash 3 things it'll just be 1 :D
[G1 Android Development] smtrejo:
Question

I have a quick question: if I flash the Black Theme, can I switch back to the original one?

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] sleepyfu:
take the framework-res.apk out of the blacktheme patch, put it into the ROM (appropriate location). sign the zip then flash.

same as above put in reverse basically.

edit: try flashing this one to switch back. I 'kanged the original theme in the flash-able zip.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/gx30ncijvut9493/CE2.2.1-OriginalTheme.zip
[G1 Android Development] albert1691:
could you please post the link?

and do you know how can i put flash player on mytouch 3g?

the mytouch 3g old one...please help.

oh and i found 1 its called espresso2g1 but its laggy could you please help?:(
[G1 Android Development] HTCMDA:
thanks man, that what i thought i should do, but i wanted to hear it from someone else. but apparently that's like pulling teeth to get a straight forward answer. thanks for the reply friend
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
The link for which thing? Everything I suggested is linked in either the faq or the tips in my sig.

You can't have full flash on a MT3G - they just don't have the right processor for it. They just aren't designed for it. The closest you can get is the Skyfire browser from the market or AppBrain... it runs Flash videos through their servers and converts it.

The Espresso2G1 (if I remember correctly) is a port of the myTouch Slide ROM - which is a variant of Sense. It's laggy because the Slide and other Sense phones have more memory - this is one of those cases mentioned a few posts ago about having at least 256mb of swap space on your SD card. If you're really wanting to try it that badly, you can try the tweaking tips in my sig or this thread on getting Hero/Sense ROMs to run faster (I based my tips off of that thread when I first tried getting Espresso to work myself, so it's a good bit of the same info).
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
I did say no though. My apologies if the answer was sounding curt.

Although I'm sure you already know about it... but I'll throw it out there anyways for those that don't... you could always just do all 3 the one time, then do a BART to switch back to later. While it's not what you want to do - even more so now that you have the answer you were looking for - it's at least another option.

I just finally had the time to sit and get BiffMod (FroYo) working. As I was getting it going, I'd do a BART at various stages - just in case I screwed something up. Like having multiple save slots going on the same video game. :cool:
[G1 Android Development] sleepyfu:
No problem. But tsheeley has been the greatest on maintaining this thread, please show respect.

ps edit. there's a service.jar in the blackthemePatch, you may want to switch that in as well just to be safe, I don't know the difference between the 2.

anyone w/ black theme bored? can try the reverse patch back to white theme and let me know if it works, thanks.
[G1 Android Development] sleepyfu:
how to you like froyo with swap? i used compcache since i don't have high speed sdcard for swap, and just can't get it run nice. do want to say tho, my "file-pusher" donut is quite lovely w/ 10mb ram hack.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Thank you so much for the defense and kind words!

Even on my class 6 the swap was pretty laggy. I'd have a few seconds wait time before anything would open... and that's with all the apps being installed internally. I switched to the default 25% CC and it became greased lightning.

The only "problems" I'm having is that sometimes after a reboot Swype doesn't want to work. I have to long-press and switch to the stock, then switch back. Not really a fault of the ROM though, just a lack of memory on the phone. The other thing is that a few times I've rebooted and had an error message that the system was busy and to FC or Wait - of course I just wait and everything is fine... another memory issue though, so I can't really complain.

I just BART'd and bumped up the CC to the full 45% - so we'll see how that goes.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
the black theme zip contains two files which are different to the white

its not beyond people, its just pointless to have two zips which only differ by two files.

And honestly , is it that big a deal?

Think about it, the last update was 3 months ago.. why would you need to reflash the 3 zips regular?.

But anyway

make sure you have the latest winzip, and then google "sign update zip"

( or install clockwork recovery and forget about the signing thing )

then you can tell all your mates that you dev your own roms
[G1 Android Development] Darrien13:
the black theme says patch on it what does it patch?
[G1 Android Development] sleepyfu:
Patch as its a flash over and not a complete rom. Its not patching anything except changing the color theme.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
It changes the rom from the normal stock white to the black notification bar version in the screenshots in the first post.

As Firerat mentioned it's just a difference of 2 files... but in my opinion, it's much slicker looking in black.
[G1 Android Development] albert1691:
thanks alot man. ill give it a try and ill post the outcome here..oh and what's sig??sorry no idea.

i just saw your post and it makes me so baffled. ahahah. sorry

i just dont know where to put the code, when to use them and what are they for...sorry and thanks..

i would still be hoping for your help though. i need explanation for newbies like me. and is the thread you post will make watching videos not laggy?
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Sig is short for signature... it's the part of the post at the bottom where I have my phone info listed. It's set from your control panel on the forum (the link in mine that says Edit will take you where you can edit yours too)... whatever is in your sig will be at the bottom of each post you make, and if you change it, it'll automatically change on every post you've ever made here.

What is it specifically you're having problems understanding? I'll be more than happy to explain things further.

The tweaks I, and others, have suggested throughout the thread will help speed up the phone in general... we can't make any promises though about the quality of any videos your trying to watch on the internet from your phone.
[G1 Android Development] Darrien13:
is there anyway I can remove the 3d gallery for the regular one?
[G1 Android Development] sleepyfu:
the FAQ has instructions on how to replace the launcher(home). You can follow that instruction (terminal or file manager) except the file target will be gallery.apk.

there is a link in this thread for 2d gallery, you will need to find that yourself.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Hmmm... that's something I should add to the faq later.
