[Nexus One Android Development] OutlawPro:
Ok, I'm gonna try to make this easy for you. If you have installed this FRG33 Blackbar v2 then there is absolutely no reason not to upgrade to FRG83. The advantage is you get the latest build, the latest security updates and no more update notifications and you will lose nothing. These roms are pre-rooted also so you won't lose root.

You would simply flash the following in recovery:

Completely Stock Deodexed with busybox

FRG83 Blackbar Add-on v1.2

if you want the extra apps that are included then flash this

FRG83 Stockbar v1.2

FRG83 Blackbar Add-on v1.2

So basically, just flash the updated FRG83 found in this thread and don't worry about changing build properties and all that crap.
[Nexus One Android Development] Txtraveler:
I've got this all set up to do (edit and nandroid complete); just working up the nerve to try it. :o Your point about who really looks at that line is well taken.

What OutlawPro is saying makes a lot of sense too, but - and I know this seems trivial - I really like the seven home screens in FRG33 vs the 5 in FRG83. And yes, I've already flashed 83 once to find that out. Apparently they count from the left...

So to get what I really want, I need to either successfully edit FRG33 to fool the google servers, or edit the Launcher in FRG83 to get the 7 home screens. Haven't researched that one yet, but if it's no more difficult it makes a bit more sense than editing the fingerprint in the interest of getting this update and not confusing future updates.

Decisions, decisions... :confused:

Edit: Okay, I picked route 2 - Install FRG83 and edit the Launcher.

I'm going to spend some time learning the launcher idea <del>and post what I decide here later</del>. At this rate, by the time I'm finished I'll probably be able to write my own ROM!
[Nexus One Android Development] Talderon:
Ahhhh... Gotcha... That's why I said "Unless I missed something" because I am rooted with a locked bootloader, so I indeed missed something. :D

Thanks for the clarification. :D
[Nexus One Android Development] applejosh:
To add more options, there's always adw.launcher or Launcher Pro which can be used instead of the stock launcher. They can have 7 screens, too. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] OutlawPro:
Changing the launcher is your best bet if you want the 7 screens. That way you get all the benefits of FRG83 and get the launcher you desire. The launcher is just an apk file. Easiest would be to back up your launcher2.apk to your sdcard from /system/app. Then install FRG83, go into /system/app and rename launcher2.apk to launcher2.bak, then copy over the one you backed up earlier from your SDcard.

Anyone having issues with the genie widget not updating? No matter what setting I use the only way to update it is to manually refresh. This using FRG83

Applejosh - Tech338 really helped me out on the FRG83 ROM and getting the 7 screens back with this post.

Cheers,

[Nexus One Android Development] Txtraveler:
I had this happen for a while, but a couple of reboots and it started updating again.

Edit: Spoke too soon. I thought it had fixed itself, but that was a custom location that was working. The auto-weather update based on current location still refuses to work despite my best efforts. This is happening with the news and weather widget as well - I get news updates but no weather unless I manually specify a location.

Any ideas, anyone?
[Nexus One Android Development] Txtraveler:
I tried this and it worked - I have the seven screens back...but I lost the clock widget on the center home screen, and I can't find it under the installed widgets. Is that one I can find on the market?

Never mind, I found one that is close enough, if not identical. Looks like I got what I was after! Now to move some apps to SD...
[Nexus One Android Development] ultra99:
Just to make sure, is the App2SD addon is the Darktremor's 2.7?
[Nexus One Android Development] mslatter:
Really? I still have mine. Granted I had to put it back on the homescreen, but it's under Widgets, and weather.
[Nexus One Android Development] Txtraveler:
It's the one I got from post #1 of this thread, which should work but I've run into a problem. Do I need to partition my SD card first for this to work? I tried the technique found in post #1157 of this thread, but I hadn't partitioned my card and it failed. Guess I'll have to dig up partitioning tech and try again...
[Nexus One Android Development] Txtraveler:
So the clock is called a "Weather" widget?!!! Good grief, I feel like such an idiot for not looking there:rolleyes:...

...NOT!! Who the heck did that?!:eek:

Thank you though. I'd have NEVER found it if you hadn't said that...
[Nexus One Android Development] blitz911:

There is a Twitter update in the market at the moment. I can't install it however. The download goes through fine but I get an "installation unsuccessful" message. Anyone else getting this?

I am running Geo411m's FRG83 Rom with Blackbar and A2SD addon.

[Nexus One Android Development] apollostees:
What's up guys, can someone help me troubleshoot my apps2sd problems?

I wonder is it's the apps2sd add-on for the FRG83 V1.2 or do I just have a crappy SD card?

About once a day I'll go to wake the phone and it won't respond to any buttons.

After pulling the battery I restart to place holder icons where my apps used to be.

Only the apps on system/app are still accessible.

I used the force apps to sd command also:

adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2

Please help.
[Nexus One Android Development] gcgspain:
Same problem here!!
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
For those having problems updating the twitter apk, you need to delete the one in system app folder and then reboot. I have an idea what the problem is so I should be able to fix it for Tue future.
[Nexus One Android Development] Talderon:
Hey, just wanted to toss this out and see if you, or someone, can look into this or verify?

I have WidgetLocker Lockscreen and it installs and works, for a while, then it will either lockup my phone or just reboot it.

Not sure if it is the app or the ROM, but am hoping to get some help. :)

Thanks!
[Nexus One Android Development] MountainDrew:
Any way to do that without root explorer?
[Nexus One Android Development] ronniecarlough:
Your link is not working.I would luv to try this rom
[Nexus One Android Development] lyingit:
you could pull/delete with ADB right?
[Nexus One Android Development] fzr-r4:
Yes.

Or if you're leery of using adb, Geo's ROM gives you root access, so you can use Titanium Backup to uninstall/delete.
[Nexus One Android Development] blarblargs:
thanks, it worked.
[Nexus One Android Development] MountainDrew:

Noobie here

Sorry im really a noob so how would one install these add-ons.
[Nexus One Android Development] ultra99:
Put the addon zip files on to your SD card, reboot into recovery, and install the zip file. Do an nandroid backup first in case anything goes wrong or want to revert back.
[Nexus One Android Development] sonnysekhon:
Do you have root, if yes here's the easiest way:

- Get ROM manager (Free)

- Flash ClockworkMod recovery (This is the first thing ROM Manager does when you open it)

- Download the ROMs from the First post and copy to your sdcard.

- Go to ROM manager and backup your old Rom, name it whatever.

- After your phone reboots after backup is complete(fancy name of backup is nandroid), go to Rom manager, click Install from SD card.

- Select the zip file from your sdcard. Select the wipe box (you have already backed up your Rom so leave it unchecked.

-Press OK and wait 5 minutes.

Thats it.

If you get lost, most of this info is in the wiki.
[Nexus One Android Development] OrganizedFellow:
You can't.

It's not an add-on.

It's a complete replacement of what your phone has now.

Do a little research on the following subjects:

To root. Access root. Gain root. And why someone with an Android™ phone would want to.

Be aware that rooting your phone will void any warranty you have with your carrier or manufacturer.

If you "brick" your phone AFTER you've voided your warranty by rooting it ... well, you'd have to do tons of research on how to avoid such a situation.

There are many "How to" guides available elsewhere.

Please don't take this as me being mean. A ****. A jerk. etc.

But you really need to learn more about the subject before "install these add-ons."

I'm pretty certain he doesn't have root.

Have FRG83 installed with Arabic and A2sd addons installed. But when I patch Trackball and rebooted I get stuck at X, any ideas?
[Nexus One Android Development] nosbiker2:
@ ultra.

You want run hermits trackball alert?

You dont need to patch it. it works without patching
[Nexus One Android Development] Bulltza:
Hello all,

Sincre I upgraded to this last version of FRG83, I am having issues with the trackball alert, sometimes it keeps blinking even if I have seen all the emails/sms/misscalls. And it is not fixed until I reboot. I never had this problem when it was without the alert in sucession...

Anyone having this issue?
[Nexus One Android Development] dictionary:
I'm having the same issue. I'm used to it from Enomthers ROM for some reason. Easy method is to just pull down the notification bar, then put it back up. That solves it without a reboot.
[Nexus One Android Development] electrostat:
Out of the blue, my browser FC's everytime I open it. Any idea what'd cause this since I'm positive it has nothing to do with this ROM.

Thanks.
[Nexus One Android Development] dictionary:
Try going to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All>Browser. Then clear cache .. and if still messing up, maybe clear data too? I'm not sure, just throwing the idea out there.

Is there a way to disable the rotating homescreen?
[Nexus One Android Development] sonnysekhon:
Settings-Display-Auto rotate homescreen -Off
[Nexus One Android Development] electrostat:
Eh, I just said screw it and reflashed this rom. If it happens again, I'll clearing the cache and data. Thanks.
[Nexus One Android Development] summer_love:
Thanks for this rom, I love it. Was waiting for an MCR but this is just what I needed. I love the blackbar update, but is there a way to get rid of the battery percentage?

Edit: nevermind, made my own battery icons
[Nexus One Android Development] Bulltza:
This option does not exist, at least in the spanish language, I have 4 options in Settings-Display:

- Bright

- Auto rotate

- Animations

- Timeoff for screen.

If I switch off Auto rotate I can not even rotate into applications (for instance to write emails or sms).

To solve the problem now I use the app RotateLock. I find very anoying the rotatation of the homescreen but the rotateLock has solve around 95% of the anoyance ;).
[Nexus One Android Development] Talderon:
Worked with the Dev on my issue. After some suggestions, it ended up being my ext3 partition on my sdcard. Wiped, repartirioned and reflashed the ROM. Everything is working perfect.

Thanks...

For some reason when i try to flash this add_on i get a verification error.

I also tried to make it myself. same error.

I'm using Amon 1.6.2

Any ideas?
[Nexus One Android Development] applejosh:
I don't know this add-on at all, but it could be that either the file is corrupted (can try re-downloading it) or there is a signature issue (which could be worked around by installing latest clockworkmod recovery and toggling the signature check or installing the latest alpha version of Amon_Ra). I'd try re-downloading first of course. Maybe the author can comment on what recovery is needed (if it's signed, not signed, etc.).
[Nexus One Android Development] sonnysekhon:
It's unsigned as advised by Geo. I just replaced the .png files. I posted another file a few posts after that with a new status bar menu. Maybe try that one. I use the latest Clockwork recovery and flashed through ROM manager without any problems. Hope it helps.

EDIT: Just noticed you are using FRF91. This is only an addon for FRG83 stockbar 1.2.
[Nexus One Android Development] sonnysekhon:
Just noticed that my voice dialer FCs every time. Another app I used to dial international numbers after a toll free number also FCs. Is this related to the early issue of phone app force closing on the FRG83 V1. I am using the latest V1.2 and the phone app works fine and never FCs. Any ideas or solutions?
[Nexus One Android Development] solidmac:
Ok guys I'm trying to get a2sd to work, I installed the add-on and formatted the SD card to a 700 mb ext 4but other than that is there another steps to set it up?
[Nexus One Android Development] dictionary:
I'd go ext3 personally, after you boot the ROM, download to Terminal Emulator. If you don't have it installed already, then go to Market and download it.

Open it up, and type this:

a2sd reinstall (hit enter. phone will show stuff on screen, then reboot)

When it boots back up, go back to Terminal Emulator and type

a2sd zipalign

Now you have two options. One, is a2sd cachesd which puts the dalvik-cache on the SD card. You can also do a2sd cachepart .. which moves dalvik-cache to the cache partition. I prefer cachepart, but it's your choice.

Phone will probably reboot again, and you're good to go
[Nexus One Android Development] solidmac:
Ok thanks I will give this a shot. Another thing I've noticed is the battery life is this going to take make my battery drain faster? (doing it the correct way)
[Nexus One Android Development] dictionary:

[Nexus One Android Development] shpongled:

[Nexus One Android Development] apollostees:
Man you had me doing a Google search for FRG85!!:eek:

No such thing, only FRG83
[Nexus One Android Development] wuli:
I forgot to change my sig to FRG83.

I guess the verification error with your (or my) modified addon is caused by amon_rA 1.6.2.

I am fairly new to this device and installing custom Android ROMs, so i don't knoe if this had been asked before.

I had rooted my device that had Froyo 2.2 and would not install the OTA update either rooted or not.

I installed ROM manager and Titanium, made backups, and then installed FRG83 Stockbar v1.2 from first page of this thread and so far, only the battery meter add-on.

Great ROM, but I am having one occasional issue. That is the screen at times does not respond (press on an app icon, and either nothing happens or one two icons over lights up and opens). If I move the home screen back and forth to a different page, or shut it off and restart - It clears up.

I installed it with ROM Manager, and am wondering if there may still be some system noise left over from the previous ROM.

Again - sorry if this had already been covered (I searched).
[Nexus One Android Development] fzr-r4:
I've had occasional touch responsiveness or accuracy issues even when my phone was stock. I just turn the screen off and on with the power button and it's fine afterwards.
[Nexus One Android Development] radman57:
Great ROM. Two things. Is there a way to add the HTC calendar widget (kind if like you did the clock-weather widget from sense Ui), and also on your theme, how would you change the messaging background to "dark"?
[Nexus One Android Development] sonnysekhon:
Can anyone please confirm if voice dial is working.

Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] tech338:
Voice Dial is working for me. FRG83 w/blackbar. No Apps2SD.
[Nexus One Android Development] tech338:
The HTC widget is pre-installed on this ROM. Add it just like you would add any other widget. It is name weather widget in the widget list...

I don't know of any easy way to get the dark theme on the messaging background. Here is what I did...

Downloaded the latest CyanogenMOD which has a replacement messaging app that is based on stock with a few added features. I opened up the zip and pulled out Mms.apk (messaging app) from /system/app. I put this on my SD card.

If you have root explorer, copy Mms.apk to your SD card. Open root explorer and navigate to /system/app/ and rename Mms.apk to Mms.bak (backing up the original copy). Then copy Mms.apk from the SD card to /system/app/. Lastly, change the permissions of Launcher2.apk to match Launcher2.apk (long press launcher2.apk and check : user read, user write, group read, other read). Reboot. If any problems, just rename Mms.bak to Mms.apk. Probably best to do a Nandroid first, just in case.

You can also do this by adb if you can use adb. Root Explorer is best if you are not comfortable at a command line.
[Nexus One Android Development] solidmac:
Thanks dictionary up and RUNNING!!!!
[Nexus One Android Development] radman57:
Thanks for the info on the dark messaging (I was using kang-o-rama before this and liked the messaging). I was originally asking about the HTC "calendar widget" not the weather widget. any additional thoughts on that one?

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus One Android Development] tech338:
Sorry. The only HTC widget I am familiar with is the one where the time resembles an old flip clock and weather information is included below. No chance you can find a picture? I don't know how many N1 users have played with Sense in depth...
[Nexus One Android Development] sonnysekhon:
I tried a complete wipe and clean flash, still no luck. My voice dial works for voice mail, opening calender etc but not for calling contacts. When dialing call Dad for example, it always force closes. So does my other app for dialing international numbers. I think the problem lies in retrieving info from contacts. Any ideas?

Also please confirm if you can call contacts in your phone book through voice dial.

Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] adambenjamin:
I attached a photo of the HTC calendar widget. I really liked that widget when I had sense, on vanilla I found the "pure grid calendar widget" which also works well. There is a pic of that one posted also.
[Nexus One Android Development] sonnysekhon:
LauncherPro Plus Calender widget looks just like that.
[Nexus One Android Development] radman57:
No problem - I'm going to use your info on the messaging and try to use it with MicroMod777's ROM to pull the HTC calendar widget from there. It should work as he was using a hybrid type ROM.

Thanks for the a2sd method! One Question

Hi-

I was lurking/looking for an answer to the a2sd thing since my N1 fills up rather quickly these days. This method worked perfectly for me. Since I am not a a2sd guru, what happens when I flash a new ROM? Do I need to redo the ext3 partition I created on the card? I really don't want to leave this ROM because it works so well on the N1.

Thanks a lot for the great explanation.
[Nexus One Android Development] dictionary:
You're welcome!

You will not have to wipe the ext3 partition, or set it up again, depending on the ROM you use. I've gone from this rom, to Enomthers ROM, to eViL's Desire HD/Z ROMs, and have used the same files in my ext3. I've run into problems with some ROMs, where once I boot up, it just keeps giving me FC's. Can't remember which exact ROMs though.

All in all though, you should be fine with leaving ext3. Regardless of if a ROM uses it or not, once you have ext3 set up, you shouldn't ever need to redo it, unless you format your SD card. You can also, depending on your recovery (I use Amon_RA 1.9.0.alpha personally), clear/wipe the ext partition if you'd like, but the ext3 partition will still remain, just with its contents cleared.

Hope this helps a bit
[Nexus One Android Development] shpongled:
I created the ext3 partition and all, but when i try a2sd reinstall it says it fails to mount SD card.. any ideas?
[Nexus One Android Development] Txtraveler:
The last time I had that problem, it was bad sd card contacts. Do you get normal access to your SD card when you connect the phone with USB to your computer and unmount for data transfer? I'm not an expert, but if there are irregularities with your usb data transfers as well, I'd try removing and reinstalling the SD card and see if that helps...I had to buy a new card for my phone - the old one works just fine in an SD card reader though. My phone was just rather picky...
[Nexus One Android Development] Txtraveler:
I'm too much of a noob to have a solution for you, but I can confirm that with FRG83 + blackbar + A2SD from this thread installed, I have no problems with voice dial either directly or with bluetooth. Sorry.
[Nexus One Android Development] mpmilestogo:
Hi-

I first tried this by removing the SD card and formatting it on my ubuntu laptop. The card would not mount and the scripts failed to copy anything to the SD card because it could not mount. I then reverted to using clockwork recovery to create the file systems and reran the order of things that @Dictionary presented and it worked fine. Try formatting the card using clockwork recovery or another recovery solution and see if it works.

I had tried to post this earlier but ran into some network issues.
