Can u make a black bar with the stock nofications and without the battery %
[Nexus One Android Development] ragingyeti:
DO NOT STOP! Sure, I had some battery problems, but if you keep working on it I will definitely keep trying it. That is what the whole idea is after all, to keep working on things and making them better
[Nexus One Android Development] dihy:
I have fantastic battery life with zero issues right now.

Geo411m FRG 83d, blackbar, wifi calling+purefroyo addon, Lucid; a2sd enabled.

Quadrant consistent 1440+, Linpack 38+

I set the max clock to 1136, 1152 causes reboots.
[Nexus One Android Development] Txtraveler:
I'm using the PureFroyo kernel that installed with the wifi calling app on the first page of this thread. I typically have GPS, push, BT and 3g turned on, but that's no change from how I used the previous ROM, so it's still an apples to apples comparison. I've only used the wifi calling app itself once (accidentally).

Funny story - I typically use a bluetooth earpiece and while at home I happened to turn on wifi to improve page loading speed (T-mobile's 3g coverage is weak here). I made a call to my wife and while the bluetooth DID connect it only transmitted the background hum, and I heard a tiny voice coming from the phone at my hip:confused:. That was my only hint I was making a wifi call! The app had started all by itself when the wifi connected.

I'm probably going to uninstall it soon, as I prefer using bluetooth and that's a known bug. Edit: uninstall complete; reloading PureFroyo kernel and recharging the phone to 100%. I'll have some idea tonight of what's going on.

I agree with ragingyeti; don't jump the gun. I probably speak for many here when I say that your kernel came bundled with the wifi calling app. The app could well be the culprit. It runs continuously and when I tried to shut it down using Settings/Applications/Manage Apps, it laughed at me.
[Nexus One Android Development] AndyClough:
I tried it again tonight and the camera did indeed work :D

But Titainium failed to restore my bus ticket app so I had to roll back.

It was certainly snappier with the WM kernal though, still, keep up the good work :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
Glad it's working well for you.

That's what I mean. The app is continuously running processes in the background that most likely is the culprit to the battery drain.

You know you can use the WM Kernel with this rom. Just make sure to use the kernel without the 720p option.

For the ones with battery issues, have you tried changing WCDMA only to GSM auto prl?

update hosts file

I'm using this ROM , which is great, only one problem.

I'm trying to update my hosts file . I pushed a new file to /system/etc/hosts and /etc/hosts but after boot it gets overwritten with the original file.

Is there some script that copies another hosts file?

Thanks.
[Nexus One Android Development] Mactagonist:
Trying this rom out for a while, seems to be a great stock rom. Thanks!
[Nexus One Android Development] Tachyon_1:
Just wanted to say a quick thanks to the OP for this.

Installed it on my AT&T/Bell model N1 today. Works great. Seems quite fast and responsive.

This was my first real manual full ROM update and it was a lot of work, but this was well worth it.
[Nexus One Android Development] Txtraveler:
I agree. There have been a couple hiccups, but I'm getting a handle on this setup with the PF kernel. Without the wifi app I'm getting much better battery life. I'm still running BT, GPS, push, and 3G continuously, and there's only been one occasion when battery life was shorter than 16 hours, and that was when I let my nephews use my phone for games for a couple hours.

The hiccups have been heat related - as in my battery temp went up over 103F once (first time ever above 93F). It was in an area of weak cell coverage and the battery was already below 25% when it happened, so I'm going to continue to experiment with it for a bit longer.

Today at the 9+ hour mark I'm at 68% remaining, so it seems to be a pretty efficient kernel.

Edit: I've spent a couple weeks comparing the Wildmonk and PF kernels, and I am settling on the PF one. The battery life was marginally better with the WM kernel, but it is definitely less stable (not bad at all, just the PF kernel was better) and the battery life difference was pretty trivial. They both do well on power conservation (I am currently at 71% power at 9.5 hours unplugged with EVERYTHING turned on). The stability improvement with the PF kernel is enough to sway me in that direction.
[Nexus One Android Development] zeesix:
This is my new favorite ROM. Thanks for your hard work. The latest version is running very fast/stable.

Strange choppiness after 24 hours

Hi, I am not suspecting any problems with the latest ROM version or the kernel but I'm going to toss my problem out in the hope that someone has a suggestion/clue.

I did a major all-in-one update because I thought, what-the-heck if I'm going to be rebooting and wiping, I might as well do everything at once.

1. Update recovery (Amon_RA 1.8.1)

2. Wipe cache + dalvik

3. Update kernel (purefroyo) + radio (5.08) + ROM (I can't remember the exact sequence)

Others: I installed a new 16GB class2 SD card to replace the old one.

After the initial reboot, the ROM is so snappy that it maked me weep tears of joy. I don't know if it's the new kernel or ROM, but it was awesome until I noticed that for some strange reason, the phone started to get choppy. Especially when wiping the homescreens and the Manage Applications screen. The true test for me is when I play Angry Birds (yay!) and the game will release the bird even before I lift my finger off the screen. Once I reboot, all these problems disappear, and my phone is back to its joy-weeping state.

For 4 days now, I noticed that the choppiness always starts happening around the 24 hr mark after the last reboot.

- I had apps2sd installed after the upgrade. Thinking it could be the slow SD card causing problems, I undid that.

- Possibly are a rouge app, I removed most of the non-critical apps that I had.

- I did a full wipe (but no re-install)

No diff.

I'm tempted to full wipe and redo the ROM + Kernel upgrade as I doubt that it is the radio or recovery. I suspect that by doing so many things at once, I may have screwed up my install.

Does anyone have any suggestion?
[Nexus One Android Development] Txtraveler:
Not an expert by any means, but I suspect your guess is correct. A full wipe and reinstall of ROM and kernel upgrade solved my earlier problems. I don't see any need to reinstall the Recovery or Radio either though.

I believe this ROM will reinstall the stock kernel over any upgrade if you do the kernel upgrade first. If you want the PureFroyo kernel, be sure to install it last.

Good luck!
[Nexus One Android Development] Txtraveler:
Have you heard something? I'm SO liking this phone right now, I'd be afraid to make any significant changes... :confused:
[Nexus One Android Development] liping:
Thanks Txtraveler, for letting me know about the ROM kernel. I was actually wondering how to revert to stock kernel to eliminate one less point of failure.

I did the full wipe and reinstalled the ROM only, without the purefroyo kernel update for now. Hopefully it runs okay (have to wait for a day or two to tell).

Thanks!

Is the HBoot update separate from the 83D update ? I thought it was coming in the STOCK rooted 83D update.

Is the new HBoot necessary ? And if so, how do you force it to download it.

N1 to lock on EDGE

Did anyone notice that once u patch the black bar mod the phone is completely locked onto t mobiles edge network and the only way to get it back on HSDPA and UMTS (3g) is factory reset?......That would have been nice to know Love the rom Stock is so much better.
[Nexus One Android Development] Mo_Nexus:
Works just fine for me, first time I hear of such a problem with this rom, which is already nearly stock
[Nexus One Android Development] ardatdat:
So, the next version will be pure ginger...

Let's wait for the new os to come
[Nexus One Android Development] tech338:
Are you sure you are not just seeing the new H icon that indicates HSDPA vs 3g? The black bar adds this new icon and IIRC it is not available on the stock notification bar.

The black bar add-on just changes the framework-res.apk and the services.jar. It doesn't touch the radio. Also, when a factory reset is done, it wipes user data, but doesn't change the radio, or alter the original configuration of the ROM or Radio. Just seems to me that the blackbar add-on should not be related to 3G issues.

Are you flashing the blackbar add-on with any other addons? Also, are you flashing the blackbar add-on over the "FRG83D Stockbar v1:" or the "

Completely Stock Deodexed with busybox (No add-ons or tweaks):" ??

[Nexus One Android Development] tech338:
What version of Clockwork are you using? I've seen that error before with version 2.5.1.3 and heard it was specific to that build. Can you try with Amon-RAs version (I think you can install it via ROM Manager) and report back?
[Nexus One Android Development] Nikos_s3:
I have 2.5.1.4 , though it seems as a beta version, because it only shows in ''all clockworkmod recoveries'' section...the one by default if i choose my phone model (nexus one) is 2.5.1.0...so i now try to flash with 2.5.1.0 and see what happens...thanks...

Word on the street is that u may need it for updated to gingerbread...
[Nexus One Android Development] cougar694u:
First off, I love this ROM for the stock look & feel, plus the added black bar.

Anyone use AutoKiller with this? I know it has a tweaked internal task killer, but apps continue to run in background, annoyingly so. I used AutoKiller on the mt3g, because of it's lack of RAM it's essential.

Installed on this ROM, tried different settings, but nothing changed.

I even went as far as to set all 6 levels to 280MB. Normally, with a setting too high, Launcher gets booted from memory. The phone seemed to drop near the 200MB free range, sometimes lower, even with settings of 280MB across the board.

I thought about using the kitchen to open this ROM, apply my own task killer tweaks, and then re-flash to see if it works better.

Thoughts or ideas?

[Nexus One Android Development] fzr-r4:
Purefroyo still working perfectly for me. I love updates and flashing new things as much as the next user, but it's a tribute to the kernel quality that I'm perfectly happy keeping the Purefroyo one as is: unbeaten battery life and stability while being plenty fast and snappy.

+1!
[Nexus One Android Development] cougar694u:
Just out of curiosity, is the consensus that the PureFroyo kernel uses less battery than the packaged kernel in this ROM?
[Nexus One Android Development] fzr-r4:
It does on mine. Some people have troubles with the low voltage, but it seems most don't.
[Nexus One Android Development] cougar694u:
I repackaged using the Android Kitchen with different task killer tweak numbers. I'm going to see if it kills all the background apps like I want it to after a few days of use.
[Nexus One Android Development] Mactagonist:
is the weather widget in this rom (the sense looking one) available separately?
[Nexus One Android Development] cougar694u:
You could probably DL the ROM, open it and pull out the apk for it :confused:
[Nexus One Android Development] tech338:
No. IIRC the Dev received a C&D order from HTC and had to pull it down from the market. The new version that was designed looks different.

Just do what Cougar suggested: DL the ROM, and rip out weatherwidget.apk from /system/app and email or push to your SD card and install.
[Nexus One Android Development] Wiggz:
Hi all...ended up flashing DarkTremor's A2SD script.....my phone storage has gone up to 77MB free, but considering I partitioned to 512MB I can't say it's working. is there any easy way to see what's going on with my storage without using ADB?
[Nexus One Android Development] Wiggz:
Also....I have grabbed Quick System Info widget. Shows me A2SD storage as 484 (so 12 with overhead...fine) And with 370mb free...it goes down when I install but so does phone mem.

The app still shows as in phone mem though not SD...what am I missing?
[Nexus One Android Development] twolves14:
I have the same problem as Wiggz. On my bro's phone, it shows like 160 mb free internal, on mines it showed 70 mb internal (when I did it, now down to 40 mb).. Somethings wrong with A2SD on mines I guess.

It's called Fancy Widget, but don't get the one from the market, they made it ugly after they got in trouble with HTC. Try to find Fancy Widget 1.3.0 somewhere, if you can't PM me and I'll send it to you.
[Nexus One Android Development] fzr-r4:
Have you guys (or gals) done the dalvik cache to the cache partition? That frees up a lot more space.
[Nexus One Android Development] ExtraDas:
Hey Geo411m,

is the possibility that you will make a version that supports 720p+ the 720 camera app?

I really love your ROM and I also love intersectRaven's Kernel .35.8 as the combination make one speedy OS, but of course camera doesn't work.

Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] Wiggz:
I have. I have noticed on forum posts that people say I should get an option when I'm installing an app as to where it should go...however I don't.
[Nexus One Android Development] redraiderj:

[Nexus One Android Development] Toobie:
What is at least, the latest version?

I didn't get it through all the links in the beginning.

v1 or unter older roms v1.3 ??

sorry...
[Nexus One Android Development] Arcarsenal:
While not an entirely accurate test, I just wanted to say that this ROM just gave me 28 hours of uptime without having to be charged. Granted, the SIM is out, but I had Wi-Fi on 24/7 with a no sleep policy receiving emails and tweets during all of that time.

FRG83D + A2SD + PureFroyo Kernel version 11/17

I also ended up wiping everything and completely reflashing my ROM setup. It made a noticeable speed and battery life difference. I guess flashing updates the last few times, while working, doesn't give you the full experience. As a side note, with Dalvik cache moved to the internal cache I show 160+MB free of internal memory before I touch my 512MB EXT3 partition on the SD card.

It's these customizations and tweaks that make me love my Nexus and Android so much, even though I have a Dell Venue Pro to play with. Really hope the WP7 community will eventually see as much support as we have here.
[Nexus One Android Development] tech338:
Under FRG83D, find "stockbar v1". This is the ROM. Once you flash that ROM, you can flash the blackbar add-on and/or the wifi calling add-on if you like.

The rest of the ROMs and add-ons are FRG83 (slightly older but still very very good). There is also a stock (deodexed/busyboxed) version of FRG83D that does not include any tweaks.

Hope this helps.

[Nexus One Android Development] Txtraveler:
I've had a recent issue that I can't pin down. It has happened with FRG83D only, with both WM and PF kernels.

What happens is that I get MAJOR battery drain for a period of hours. Battery stats have blamed it on Voice Calls in one case, and on Mediaserver on another, but in both cases the battery drain is around 10%/hour and the phone gets VERY warm (over 100F).

It goes away as mysteriously as it appears after a reboot or overnight recharge (not consistently though), and things get back to normal.

Has anyone else had anything like this happen?
[Nexus One Android Development] blitz911:
Txtraveler- I had something very similar to that a while back, before FRG83D, but on this ROM as well. The mediaserver process was running all the time, phone got hot and battery drain was ridiculous(wouldn't last 8 hours in standby). Turns out it was a corrupted picture file. For some reason the phone would keep trying to access it in the gallery even though I had supposedly deleted it. I just kept deleting it till it no longer popped up in the gallery(5-6x), powered off phone, battery pull, and reformatted card. Haven't had that problem since and I get ~22+ hours on my phone with my regular usage.
[Nexus One Android Development] ksc6000:
How do you make sure that when an app is installed, it's installed "internally" in the Froyo method? I have apps2sd script installed, so I want to make sure all apps go to the EXT partition rather than the SD card's FAT partition.
[Nexus One Android Development] Txtraveler:
This makes a LOT of sense! I had an email photo download last night that took over an hour (I saw the photo had finally arrived today, but I gave up waiting last night).

Thank you very much, and I'll get right on this stuff - I can clear out the downloads folder in the gallery and get rid of the source emails for that content as well. It's easy enough to move photos I want to keep to the pictures folder.

Thanks again!:)

A2SD

First thank you for your great ROM.

I wanted to ask if is it possible to have your Stock FRG83D (without add-on or tweaks) only working with Dark Tremor App2SD.

I tried with frg83d stockbar v.1 and DT A2SD works but with the completely stock it says that the ext partition isn't mounted. Maybe FRG83D stock doesn't support this file system.

Thanks.
[Nexus One Android Development] fzr-r4:
It worked for me, Geo's "stock" with A2SD add on.
[Nexus One Android Development] andre987:

Yes, that is the latest one.
[Nexus One Android Development] andre987:
Thank you for the speed of your responses!!

Previously I tried the script from the darktremor's thread and it didn't work.

With the Geo411m all works fine (in both frg83 and frg83D stock ROM) and it is even made simpler with A2SD GScript.

Thank you so much guys and thank you Geo411m!!
[Nexus One Android Development] marcelol:
So if I've got the "Stock" FRG83D....

1. Do I need to partition an EXT ( 2? 3? 4? Through Rom Manager? ) or will the script move it to the FAT partition on the SD ?

2. I'm assuming you mean this for A2SD (http://www.4shared.com/get/5CsF6AxO/FRG83_A2SD_v11.html), right ?

3. What do you mean by "made simpler with A2SD GScript" ? Is that some newer version of the script ?

4. I presume the A2SD everyone's talking about is this ( DarkTremors Apps2SD ): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715940

The 1st post could be a little clearer....I'm just sayin'.
