Geo,

This rom is exactly what I am looking for, light and quick. Any chance your next version (whenever that may be) could include the battery percentage hack??? (easy enough to add on my own and saves me installing another batt app, request is purely for convenience)

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=716967

Have a good one
[Nexus One Android Development] h0llyw00dj0e:
whats the best radio/kernel that you guys are running on this ROM? I am running the FRF91 version.
[Nexus One Android Development] zraven:
Agree with there_are_four_lights
[Nexus One Android Development] morfy50:
For some reason I cannot use this ROM (stock or black bar).

Flashed it from r20 ok but it gets stuck on the boot screen with the lock on it. Tried a wipe and I flashed a few other ROM's to test, all with no problems. Odd :\
[Nexus One Android Development] there_are_four_lights:
There is only one froyo radio.

I am running Kernel 2.6.35 – OC-UV-BTN-AUD-RAM-NEON_FP (1.113GHZ)

h**p://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=725

h**p://droidbasement.com/nexus/kernels/ram/2635/4/boot-cm_2635_rc3_froyo-oc-uv-xtra-btn-aud-ram-neon_fp-070210.zip

no problems so far, anyone else?
[Nexus One Android Development] h0llyw00dj0e:
thanks i will give that kernel a shot. how is the battery life on it since it is under clocked?
[Nexus One Android Development] h0llyw00dj0e:
are you running on the 800mV or 925mV kernel?
[Nexus One Android Development] there_are_four_lights:
I followed these instructions

Instructions:

Flash the .zip through recovery

or

fastboot flash zimage zImage (zImage can be found in update.zip kernel folder)

then

take the bcm4329.ko file from the update.zip lib/modules folder (use winrar for windows or unzip for linux) and

adb remount

adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules

Note:

If you use SetCPU, please do not set any Advanced settings, and you should use ondemand CPU governor

I do not use setCPU, where would I choose 800 v 925 kernel?

As for battery life I can't really say, I usually have it plugged in at work, and overnight, so I haven't stressed it at all, sorry.
[Nexus One Android Development] daeshawn:
ok soooooo anybody else experiencing alot of heat when using the browser on this rom? everything runs smooth no issues except I notice it gets mad hot when internet related (wi-fi I dont use data/3g etc). Or when charging the device is hoooot..doesnt happy on the other froyo 91's i've tried. I did all my wipes etc and I am using it the exact way I always do..no kernal change or anything also I am using the froyo radio
[Nexus One Android Development] J.L.C.:
Looks like this is just a in Dolphin+Froyo

My phone gets warm, but it always has.
[Nexus One Android Development] dasbooter:
Just rooted and have latest custom recovery and was looking for a really simple rom to start... this seems like it might be it. I just wanted to get rid of the stock notification bar. I noticed this question was asked and I think it was never answered but what does insecure boot mean.. sorry for the noobish question
[Nexus One Android Development] Mo_Nexus:
me too, using this kernel and working great so far
[Nexus One Android Development] Mo_Nexus:
does this have full adb remount permission?

Great work and much appreciated!! :cool:

when i use stericsons busybox installer off market, it says the version of busybox is 1.16.1androidfull not 1.16.2
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
Try version 3 which has the battery percentage hack and busybox 1.16.2. It seems in version 2 I used the wrong version of busybox :o
[Nexus One Android Development] leonnib4:
I had the same thing ;)

It was busybox 1.16.2.

Just update... ?

[Nexus One Android Development] solidmac:
Hey guys just wondering if there is a compatible camera apk from sense UI that works with this Rom out there.
[Nexus One Android Development] ultra99:
Is "FRG83 A2SD v1.1 Add-on" and "arabic add-on" (under older roms (frg83)) compatible with FRG83D?
[Nexus One Android Development] tech338:
The Arabic add-on is not compatible. The Dev of this ROM did not develop the Arabic support, and he is waiting for the developer of Arabic support to either release the source of update. Maybe check this post, not sure if it will help. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9376555&postcount=1606.

From all I've read the A2SD add on does work with FRG83 & 83G. I have not personally used it. You can also install from here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715940

If you really need Arabic support, maybe install FRG83? You can change the build file so that it won't constantly ask you to update. This is what I have done. FRG83D is FRG83 with only some small security changes AFAIK.

BTW, Gingerbread (supposed to be out in a few weeks) is supposed to officially support Arabic.
[Nexus One Android Development] solidmac:
I noticed that I installed the rom but I don't have the latest hboot its still at 33 not 35 how would I update it?
[Nexus One Android Development] tech338:
A little searching yielded this link... Should be able to just flash it though recovery.

http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/passion/d6096cac5e9f.signed-hboot-0.35.0017.zip
[Nexus One Android Development] mslatter:
Hey Tech338,

What hboot are you running? Is it really necessary to upgrade it? I've got the phone "almost" exactly how I want it, so trying to stick with the saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it..."

The "almost" is I'm on MM's Gingerbread, and only have 5 home screens again =) I tried to use the 7 screen Launcher2.apk that I used on the 2.2.1 but the phone icon doesn't work - so had to switch back to the regular Launcher2. Do you know where I might be able to find a Gingerbread Launcher2 with 7 screens that would work on MM's ROM? If not, no biggie...It's not that high on my list right now =)

Cheers,

Mark.
[Nexus One Android Development] tech338:
I still have the old (.33) hboot and see no reason to upgrade at this time... I am totally with you on 'if it ain't broke'. From my understanding the new hboot (.35) may have some slight 'improvements' but will not allow you to use the PASSIMG method to flash ROMs if you get in trouble. The rumor is that .35 will be required for the official Gingerbread, but like most of us, I haven't had an official build in months and months. Most Nexus Gingerbreads I have seen don't require the new hboot, but one of Chris Soyars did require it.

I don't know about the 7 screen launcher, but would love to know. When gingerbread comes, I am not looking forward to go back to 'just' five screens. You could try ADW launcher which is free/open source, looks just like the stock launcher, and allows you to specify how many screens you want. I would think it has been updated for gingerbread. I believe the stock 7 screen launcher originally came with the G2. Hopefully, the G2 will get gingerbread sooner or later and we can borrow it's launcher again...
[Nexus One Android Development] mslatter:
Good to know I'm on the right track. I tried adw before and felt like my phone was less responsive so stopped using it. It's a great concept and may be my only option if we can't use G2's down the road. Thanks again for the advice!

[Nexus One Android Development] navillos:
Can i use FRG83 Stockbar battery % Add-on with FRG83D Stockbar v1?

or was there changes to the framework?
[Nexus One Android Development] galaxys:
Yes, you can use that addon...it works fine.
[Nexus One Android Development] solidmac:
i manage to only use 3 screens. but have you tried launcherpro?
[Nexus One Android Development] mslatter:
Hey Solidmac,

I haven't tried launcher pro but will look into it. After Tech's post above I found Go Launcher and am using that now. You can have as many screens as you like, can customize the icons and control all sorts of things with the interface....pretty slick stuff! Thanks for the suggestion though - I'll check it out.

Cheers,

Mark.
[Nexus One Android Development] andre987:
Sorry for taking so long to answer.

I'm a man yes :) and I meant that with only the darktremor's APP2SD you have to write commands in a terminal to move dalvik's cache or similiar things.

In geom411's A2SD add-on he has added a little app with buttons of most common operations like move dalvik's cache or similiar. This makes the things a little bit easier!:D

I've been using this rom with Ardatdat's kernel PureGinger for 3 week and its work great. Battery life also improve a lot with 30-40% left after 12 hrs of moderate usage (display auto, gps on, sync auto, 35-40 mb data usage daily)

Thanks a lot Geo
[Nexus One Android Development] bastardbb:
Hi, one thing:

I needed root to execute adb su commands programmatically with getRuntime.exec("");

(actually i wanted to 'pm disable com.android.launcher');

This doesnt seem to be possible, maybe sth like

if (myuid != AID_ROOT && myuid != AID_SHELL) {
fprintf(stderr,"su: uid %d not allowed to su\n", myuid);
return 1;
}

prevents it. Is it possible to adapt the su script?`

Logcat says: 01-12 15:56:46.277 W/su ( 1164): request rejected (0->0 /system/bin/sh)

i need help.

i've been getting "low disk space" error recently.

I don't install that may apps (2-3 apps like engadget etc, no games) onto the phone, however i do keep all my sms.

when i see the disk space, there were like 4mb left.

can someone tell me (in steps) or guide me on how to use app2sd from the beginning?

Like, should i partition the sd card to ext2 or ext3?

What size should i set for swap?

what size should i set for ext?

once flashed (rom and app2sd), what commands should i run first?

basically, i need the phone set up as stock as possible with lots of phone disk space.

Oh, i'm currently using 16Gb kingston microSD class 4

thanks a lot!
[Nexus One Android Development] tech338:
I have every text message I have ever recieved with this phone in the past 10 months (maybe like 6000 text messages) and it does not even put a dent in storage. Maybe like 3MB.

I did run into a problem when I tried to keep all my MMS (picture) messages. It ate up maybe 25MB of storage.

I am not sure about apps2SD because I have never needed it, but maybe you don't need to go that route.

Can you do this:

Got to Settings

Select Applications

Select Manage Applications

At the top, select the All Tab

It the menu key and click sort by size

It should show you your biggest apps. What is there?

The 'app' that contains all of your messages and pictures is called Dialer Storage. If it is huge, then maybe you could just move some of your picture messages to the SD card and avoid installing/reinstalling apps and/or apps2SD.

Sorry I cannot help with apps2SD.
[Nexus One Android Development] cougar694u:
Are you able to see how much total space you have on the phone? I use Titanium Backup and it shows total space and free space. I think I may have bad sectors because I only have about 200MB total space, while the rusty trusty MyTouch has 300MB.

[Nexus One Android Development] GldRush98:

[Nexus One Android Development] tech338:
deleted...
[Nexus One Android Development] keda:
The update notification from Google is so annoying, does anyone know how to turn it off permanently?
[Nexus One Android Development] tech338:
To avoid getting the annoying system update message you can do the following...

(requires root)

Use your favorite file editor (I use root explorer) to navigate to /system.

Ensure you have read/write access.

Open up build.prop in a text editor.

Change line 30 where it says "ro.build.description=<whatever it currently says>"

Change it to "ro.build.description=passion-user 2.2.2 FRG83G 91102 release-keys"

Change line 31 where it says "ro.build.fingerprint=<whatever it currently says>"

Change it to "ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2.2/FRG83G/91102:user/release-keys"

Save.

Reboot.

I believe that part should stop you from getting the update. If you have already gotten it, you may have to navigate to /cache and delete the OTA zip file. I had to go one step more and allow the OTA to try to install and fail. Perhaps this is because I am still running FRG83 (non D).

You could also use ADB to pull the file from the phone, edit it on your workstation, and then push it back and do deletions as well.

As always, I recommend a Nandroid before you do this.

Had to do a failed upgrade too. it's gone now. Thanks. :)

[Nexus One Android Development] Txtraveler:
This ROM works pretty well, but I'm back to just under a day battery life with it. Is anyone else having the 7-8% an hour drain?

As an alternative, I'd prefer to stay with Geo411's ROM until it gets updated, but I need a bit of help with the build.prop edit option (yes, I'm a noob). I have the drivers and adb installed on my computer and I can get to the phone using a DOS window just fine, but I'm not familiar enough with Linux and adb commands to pull the build.prop file out for editing and reinserting. Running Windows 7; anyone care to provide a list of the necessary commands?
[Nexus One Android Development] rockuman_ex:
Use root explorer to edit the file. Then reboot
[Nexus One Android Development] gcgspain:
Instead of using ADB you could download/trasnsfer the build.prop to your pc, edit it, and pass it back to the phone. However you will still need "root explorer" or similar to be able to access build.prop.
[Nexus One Android Development] Txtraveler:
That would work as well and I can edit the file with any text editor, but I still have the problem of not knowing how to access the build.prop file to begin with. Does "root explorer" have a Windows version that will access the phone and be able to retrieve the file?

Edit: Never mind. It would be nice to learn to use adb commands, but I was able to use Astro to move build.prop to my sdcard and work with it from there. I should be able to use Astro to move it back afterwards as well.

Edit 2: Oops, didn't work. Astro cannot replace the build.prop file with the edited one. Insufficient permissions. I'm back to needing the adb commands for removing the old file and inserting the new one...
[Nexus One Android Development] fzr-r4:
try es file explorer. the experimental root privileges mode works for me.
[Nexus One Android Development] Txtraveler:
Sorry, never mind again :o. I spent a couple hours reading up on adb commands, and then another hour experimenting on my phone until I found the right syntax. It worked; no more popup update annoyances, and I still have Geo411's wonderful battery life.

Question: why is everyone so convinced that using file explorer is the way to go with this issue? I learned DOS commands a long time ago, and knowing those has really stood me in good stead over the years with computer issues. I can boot to command mode with a disk or thumbdrive and do things on a PC that Windows would never allow - not even in a DOS Window. :cool:

Having that same level of understanding with my phone programming strikes me as a GOOD thing. I wish I could do the things that Geo and many others here have learned to do... :(
[Nexus One Android Development] tech338:
It is quicker. You don't need to spend hours researching ADB.

It is more convenient. You don't need to be by your PC.

It is easier for people who have never set up ADB and the USB drivers.

Not everyone is comfortable with command line syntax.

I feel like many people here have had years of programming, years of Linux/PC/networking experience, work in the IT industry and can use the command line reliably (myself included). But at the end of the day, root explorer can do the job in like 90 seconds and you don't have to dig out your data cable. ;)

With that said, I still believe it is good to know how to use ADB
[Nexus One Android Development] Txtraveler:
I agree with all of this...

...and I agree with all of this too, but...

I agree with this most of all.

Having someone teach you is the quickest way to learn command line syntax, and figuring it out the hard way is the second quickest. I don't think there's a third way.

I'll try root explorer after I'm happy with my (hope to have someday) adb skills. :D
[Nexus One Android Development] trigreek:
Sorry but I've tried several times but without luck. Instead of getting the frg83g ota notification, I keep getting the frg83d ota notification,which is my current rom. Help please.
[Nexus One Android Development] Txtraveler:
If you are currently using frg83D ROM from post #1 of this thread, you should be able to restart your phone and clear the frg83D ota notification - at least that's how it worked for me.

The editing build.prop solution tech338 posted a few days ago will work for stopping the frg83G notification and should stop the frg83D notification as well (assuming you aren't running a frg83D ROM), but it appears that you must let it try to install after editing the build.prop file. It should fail, and then go away.
[Nexus One Android Development] trigreek:
THANKS so much. it finally worked. The trick "is" you have to try to install the update and let it fail and then reboot from your custom recovery.

I found another way online hopefully it will work. Here is the step:

From root explorer,

Mount system as read and write.

Navigate to /etc/security/

Move otacerts.zip to somewhere else.

Navigate to /cache delete the sighed update zip file.

Install the OTA update and allow it to fail, reboot from the recovery.

Hope for the best. :)
