All is working well with FRG83D...Same high speed, battery life, and High Quality rom! Great work Geo!!

Also glad you removed Rotating Homescreen...it was making me dizzy.
[Nexus One Android Development] dihy:
Something went wrong during one of my a2sd installs, so I did a2sd remove but it just stays on "Moving Applications". Any ideas? Do I need to do a full wipe?
[Nexus One Android Development] robotnoize:
Anyway you can add the notification bar power control widget? That complete this rom for me.
[Nexus One Android Development] Txtraveler:
I did the same, with pretty much the same result for a couple days, but now the twitter app isn't updating properly. I don't really need the update, but the notification is annoying so I'll probably use a file explorer or something similar and try it manually.

Anyone care to tell me the either the adb or terminal emulator commands needed to do that? I'm not fluent in linux but I can follow simple written directions...
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
Try re-adding the a2sd from the darktremor thread. His script removes the file before adding it anew.

Where can I find the app?

I don't seem to have any problems with Twitter, try signing it out and then signing it back in again. That my be enough to clear the problem from memory.
[Nexus One Android Development] shpongled:
Went ahead and flashed stock 83D, a2sd, blackbar.

After booting up first time launcher would crash, so went back to recovery and cleaned dalvik-cache. Then booted again and got a lot of these:

W/PackageManager( 419): *************************************************

D/installd( 389): DexInv: --- BEGIN '/data/app/se.oscar.rocky-1.apk' ---

I/PackageParser( 419): com.aol.mobile.engadget: compat added android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE android.permissi

on.READ_PHONE_STATE

Launcher works, but all Widgets says Problem loading widget, some apps are not available and I suddenly have only 3.5Mb free.

Any ideas on what happened? I guess a2sd must work since most of the apps are there and works.

Could you somehow disable the check for OTAs? by the hosts file or whatever.. I really didn't feel I needed to do the 83->83D update except to get rid of the OTA nagging.

Edit:

After removing 2 big apps to get more space (Google Earth and Opera) and another reboot, all apps seems to be there. Unfortunately my Internal Phone Storage available is still alarmingly small. Any ideas on that? Cleared cache etc..
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
I'm not really sure why? Looks like something went wrong with your install. I'm attaching the build.prop for FRG83D. Per your request you can apply this over the FRG83 file to suppress the OTA.
[Nexus One Android Development] derfasaurus:
Geo, I've been looking around for ways to hide the clock from the notification bar. Looks like a few people have gotten it to work with CM but reading some stuff here and there it's over my head.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=644788

Didn't know if you'd looked into it at all but it would be a cool mod. Don't know if anyone else around here would use it though

With Quick Settings, Tasker, Bluetooth, Vibrate, Network, Signal Strength, Battery and the Clock on my notification bar I have room for only three icons. (Tasker and Quick Settings don't have icons but they still reserve a slot I believe just with transparent icons) Given that I have a clock widget and a clock on the lock screen I don't feel like I really need one taking up that space on that notification bar
[Nexus One Android Development] dihy:
I've tried multiple other boards but no Joy, Geo, maybe you'd know why...

Couldn't find pathname for completed download URI: context://downloads/download/3 -- assuming the download failed"

I get that on every download after a2sd is set up. Only fix so far was to undo a2sd, update app, redo a2sd. Any ideas?
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
I've done this on my own rom in the past. I didn't include it because I think a lot of people want the clock.

Do you use a program to download files on your phone? I'm wondering if it's conflicting with the download manager app I've added.
[Nexus One Android Development] dihy:
Nothing else, is that the issue? My latest errors

E:Error in CACHE:recovery/log

(No space left on device)

I:Set boot command ""

Any ideas?

Also, in /system/sd/app I have a ton of Filename-1.apk, Filename-2.apk duplicates, ex. Cachemate-1.apk, Cachemate-2.apk in the same folder.

In cache/dc/ I have a ton of dex files, are these leftovers?
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
You're wiping both cache and dalvik-cache and you still having problems? How many apps do you have installed? You may be running out of space due to all the apps you have installed. Try moving your dalvik-cache to sdcard and see if that works? Also, if you have ubuntu installed you may want to mount your sdcard and delete all the duplicate files from system/sd/app.
[Nexus One Android Development] dihy:
Sd Ext says theres 390 mb available, I'm not sure which one in the duplicate is the real one, so I may have to do a full wipe at this point... Currently I'm trying to undo a2sd, wipe all caches, redo a2sd.
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
The real app is the one with the highest sequential number. The reason for the numbers are when apps get updates it installs it but places a number to the end.

The space I was referring to is data/dalvik-cache. Everytime you install an app it creates a dex file in data/dalvik-cache folder. If you have a large amount of apps it's possible that the size of dalvik-cache is exceeding the size of the data partition. Have you tried moving the dalvik-cache to the sdcard?
[Nexus One Android Development] dihy:
Going to try that next, previously I had it on the cache partition.

What happens if I clear the .android_secure folder?
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
That wouldn't work either. The believe the cache partition is smalled then the data partition. Unsure about your second question because I haven't tried deleting it before.
[Nexus One Android Development] dihy:
I redid a2sd, and did cachesd, restoring apps via Titanium as I post this.

Apps were able to update, this is with cachesd.
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
Your dalvik-cache is filing up you cache partition. If you move it to sdcard it should be okay.
[Nexus One Android Development] dihy:
I did a2sd cachesd, but the result is as listed.
[Nexus One Android Development] HereAsWell:
I'm kind of new to all this... Which command did you use for this output?
[Nexus One Android Development] shpongled:
a2sd cachesd solved my problem with very little space after the upgrade. Seems the apps were pointed to SD as it should but the location of the dalvik cache were not.

Thanks for the buildprop Geo411, I guess we have to wait for the next OTA before we can have a buildprop to "protect" 83D from the OTA nagging?
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
Sorry I misread what you wrote earlier. I guess I was kinda tired when I read it. It doesn't make any sense why your cache would be so full if you wiped it and you're not moving dalvik there. Try using a file manager to see what the contents of cache are.

I'm assuming the next OTA will be gingerbread. I'm sure everyone wants that one so no need protecting us from it.
[Nexus One Android Development] shpongled:
True, but since won't be able to accept the OTA(?), it will merely be an annoyance until our ROM overlord Geo411 has coocked up a fresh rom :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
LOL @ Rom Overlord. Thanks for the vote of confidence :)
[Nexus One Android Development] thejron:
180 orientation PLEASE. With that, this will be the perfect rom.
[Nexus One Android Development] dihy:
A2sd sysinfo in adb

Okay, in /cache/dc I have 87mb of dex files

In /system/sd/dalvik_cache I have 97mb of dex files

Should I just manually delete /cache/dc files?
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
I had it before but it started to get annoying when using the phone in bed.

Yes.

By the way, happy Thanksgiving everyone.
[Nexus One Android Development] fzr-r4:
All hail lord Geo! and happy Thanksgiving. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] jfive74:
Im having an issue. Not sure if its the a2sd script or wildmonks kernel but everytime i transfer music via usb, say 3 albums at a time, the phone reboots itself. Really not sure if its the new rom framework or a2sd or kernel. any ideas anyone?
[Nexus One Android Development] galaxys:
Happy Thanksgiving Geo & the XDA gang! Enjoy Family, Food, Fun, and Flashing :D
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
Thanks, same to you.

wildmonks kernel, I had the same issue. That's why I didn't use his kernel for the wifi calling add-on.

Happy Thanksgiving to you too.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
Wanted to know if the new ROM FRG83D works with the A2SD addon. Now I am using the FRG83 ROM and constantly getting the update message.
[Nexus One Android Development] Wiggz:
Geo, just wanted to know if you are "followable" on Twitter so I can keep up to date with new releases and the like?
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
Yes you can either use the add-on or download it straight from the darktremor thread.

I do use twitter, I use the same name as on here. I haven't really used it for Tom updates but if anyone does have questions they can ask me on there as well as here.
[Nexus One Android Development] amw_jjj:
Thanks sooooo much!
[Nexus One Android Development] wanker_07:
Battery %

First thanks for the rom.

I flashed the rom onto my phone. Everything appears to be working correctly. Now I just need to figure out how to enable the Battery %. Any help would be grateful.

Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] galaxys:
You need to flash the battery % add on in the 1st post.
[Nexus One Android Development] wanker_07:
Thanks for the quick reply
[Nexus One Android Development] Txtraveler:
Yup, that did it. The problem cleared the second time I logged in. Thanks!

Now I'm having some new issues though. First, is anyone else having a significant increase in battery drain? I've really been enjoying the phone, but with the "D" update the battery life seems to have decreased about 25%. I don't think it's me (I hope is isn't!), but I'm not sure.

Next, my wifi connection is having issues. I travel a lot and on my favorite airline the Wifi is free inflight until January, but suddenly my phone won't stay connected! It only happens with the redirect used by the inflight router (works fine at home), but the problem began with the update.

Finally, I still can't get results with the cell-tower based positioning. GPS is great, but many of my favorite apps (Genie, RadarNow, etc) use only the coarse positioning.

None of these is a deal-breaker as this is still my favorite ROM, but it would be better if they worked.
[Nexus One Android Development] Txtraveler:
I had this same issue with Wildmonk's kernel, but a temporary fix that worked for me was turning off the phone display with the power button when I started the transfer. The problem seemed to be linked to the screen saver on the phone.
[Nexus One Android Development] Nexus74:
Dear GEO could you plz put a mirror link for prerooted FRG83D Completely Stock Deodexed with busybox ROM ,thanks.
[Nexus One Android Development] wrench115:
I can't speak for everyone but I've been getting slightly better battery life with D. Try clearing the battery life in recovery. Might just have lost calibration. As to the other issues I haven't ran into any of those yet.
[Nexus One Android Development] Txtraveler:
I'll give this a shot as I didn't wipe anything when I loaded "D" into the phone, just installed over the earlier ROM. Since my phone died tonight only 30 minutes after I saw 20% on the battery meter I suspect your lost calibration guess is dead on. This time I'll do it right and wipe everything.

Edit: Wiped everything and gave the AOSP Rom a brief (1-day) try. It was okay, but the Gmail app fc'd. When I wiped everything again and installed the "D" package this time, it ALL WORKS!

Sequence: Booted into recovery and then wiped cache, wiped dalvik, wiped battery stats, wiped rotate settings. I don't use SD:ext so I didn't wipe that. Next I installed the FRG83D stockbar, and then without restarting installed the Blackbar addon, the A2SD and then the WiFi calling. For those wondering about kernels, the WiFi calling zip installs the PureFroyo kernel automatically. The first reboot after all this took nearly 3 minutes, but it all works now. I'll comment on battery life tomorrow.

Edit: Okay, battery life is definitely less than prior to the "D" Rom. I'm down to 20% in 17 hours, numbers I haven't seen since I first installed Geo's Rom, and that's with less than average usage. I'm going to tweak a few settings to see if I can improve it any, but I'm pretty sure I'm worse off battery-wise.
[Nexus One Android Development] Wiggz:
Hi again Geo....

I've been having a few problems with speed on launchers and redraws when coming out of sleep etc. I did a bit of forum searching and saw that many people have cited the kernel as a possible issue for this. So I have 2 questions really:

1) Is there a specific kernel you recommend me using with your ROM?

2) How do I flash (?) a new Kernel? If I do update it, does it require a data wipe?

Thanks for your help thus far.
[Nexus One Android Development] techmagyor:
is it possible to have/know where the source code of the base rom is taken from? thanks in advance
[Nexus One Android Development] tech338:
Pure Froyo seems to work best. It works well for me and lots of people in the PureFroyo thread us it with this ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=820172 .

Also, Wildmonks kernal works with this ROM. Some have said it causes occasional reboots. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=693375

Flash the kernel like you would any ROM. Both kernels above provide flashable zip files. Just boot into recovery and flash. No data Wipe is required. If you want to get back to the stock kernal, you can just re-flash Geo's rom.
[Nexus One Android Development] derfasaurus:
There is a way to lock the Launcher into memory so that it won't ever redraw, at least it hasn't for me since I did this:

In Terminal Emulator type: su

Then type: echo ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 >> /data/local.prop

Now reboot into recovery and clear your cache only and then boot up

edit: this won't work if you have your launcher program (the one that launches when you hit home) set to something like LockWidget or QuickDesk because it will keep that stored in memory and not Launcher or LauncherPro etc.
[Nexus One Android Development] techmagyor:
Another question: is it possible to activate hit by using a2sd script without having bootloops? In his wiki, the author of the script said that you can t activate the hit with band protection enabled; if it is so, there is a way to disable the nand protection?
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
I agree with with tech338. Purefroyo seems to work best for me. The kernels are installed like a regular update. No need of wiping anything.

Are you getting bootloops? Is it when you update to D? Have you tried installing the regular and the a2sd before rebooting? I'm looking into having my update-script delete the a2sd parts to stop the bootloops from happening. Just didn't get any work done this weekend.
[Nexus One Android Development] ardatdat:
Thanks for your supporting Geo. Your rom is the best! :D
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
Thanks for the kind words :D
[Nexus One Android Development] techmagyor:
Ok geo... hit means jit... when I installed frg83d v1 with a2sd from yourp previous release and everything works just fine. But if I try to enable the jit from the terminal in android from my device the prompt says that is OK.. but when I reboots it stocks on the boot image and I have to wipe everything. Seems like nand protection is on... or not?

And if it s possible, where are the source which you compile from? I just wanna see and try myself... thankae
[Nexus One Android Development] tameracingdriver:
My battery went from about 80% to completely dead overnight on a fresh install of this ROM, pure froyo kernel and the bliss theme.

Google restored all my installed apps from last time, so I guess it is something to do with that, so I've took a few off.

If I can't fix it I'm going back to completely stock - I've tried loads of ROMs and they all seem to have niggles that make me want to dump them. I came back to this one as it was the most stable, but I got the message about OTA update which I couldn't get rid of so tried MIUI again as I liked the look - but that started randomly rebooting...

I can't help but wonder if some of these kernels have something to answer for with the weird behaviour of my phone since I started using those.
[Nexus One Android Development] Nexus74:
can anyone put a mirror link for pre rooted FRG83D_cmpletely stock ,thanks.
[Nexus One Android Development] ragingyeti:
Try just using this latest ROM with the stock kernal. I had the PureFroyo kernal for about a day. It destroyed my battery life, kept hanging applications, and disconnecting wifi. I got rid of it and everything got better. This ROM is super stable and fast with good battery life on its own, putting a different kernal on just ruined it for me.
[Nexus One Android Development] D!T:
Wifi add-on sounds great, though I don't have a chance to try it yet.

Unfortunately, it wipes out the kernel-dependent /system/lib/modules/tun.ko that is needed for OpenVPN.

Does anyone know how to make one that will work for this wifi calling kernel?
[Nexus One Android Development] wh00008:
:(I can`t download, who help me? I want frg83d_stock.zip wh00008@126.com
[Nexus One Android Development] D!T:
How did my available memory go from 25MB free to 48MB free without any changes on my part just by installing the stockbarv1? Is this right>?
[Nexus One Android Development] tameracingdriver:
Hmm, well touch wood, it seems OK at the moment but I'll be keeping an eye on it... presumably if I wanted to go back to the stock kernel I'd have to reflash, or is there an easier way.?

I'd actually say in use today I've seen slightly better than normal battery life, and that's the first time I've been able to say that about any rom. It's not night and day, but certainly a slightly better life.

Interestingly, my quadrant bench with this rom and kernel is only in the 1200+ range, but in real world use it actually seems one of the more responsive I've used. People go mad on the performance of miui but despite slightly better benchmark scores, I didn't think it was all that.
[Nexus One Android Development] Nexus74:
Dear Geo Please put a mirror link for pre rooted FRG83D_cmpletely stock ,thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] misterjimmy:
Thank you Geo for this update and your hard work :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Txtraveler:
Hi Geo,

I'm considering changing the kernel too. I love the way this ROM is working right now, but the battery life has definitely changed for the worse in my case. If I flashed one of Wildmonk's kernels (one of the No720p versions of course) what are the chances I will lose the Wifi calling feature? Does that need the PureFroyo kernel to work?

I've got a functional workaround for the reboot-while-xfering-large-files issue, and so that won't bother me...
[Nexus One Android Development] Wiggz:
I feel your pain to be fair mate. I have always wanted to move around to cooked ROMs (on both WinMo and Android devices I've had) but what they give with one hand, they usually take away with another...it's difficult to find that balance.

I'm currently sticking with Geo's rom though as it seems stable and gives me a little more than stock.
[Nexus One Android Development] misterjimmy:
Alright I'm feeling the pinch like everyone else on the battery life. Can someone be of help on this part on what I need to update (or switch to a different build) to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
Everyone that has battery issues, do you use the wifi calling app or a custom Kernel? If you're using a kernel which one?
[Nexus One Android Development] fzr-r4:
I use the newest Purefroyo 925 mV, which gives me better battery life than any of the recent wildmonks kernels. I use your stock stock FRG83D, though, with apps2sd add on, Lucid theme.

Fantastic battery life (less than 2% per hour with sync on, 3g off, wifi on out off), and the most stable my phone's ever been, one reset overnight in the last week, none during use.
[Nexus One Android Development] borjoyzee:
question for Geo:

i've applied the v1 for frg83d, and the trackball support is great, i love it but it seems that my phone has stopped vibrating on sms message, and possibly the other notifications.. i've set in my sms notification settings to always vibrate and it never does.. is there an issue with the rom?

thanks!
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
It works fine on my end. What's your vibration set to in the sound setting menu?
[Nexus One Android Development] AndyClough:
Hi,

I tried this ROM last night coming from CM6.1 wanting to see if FRG83D made a difference.

I was impressed as it was blinding fast after a full wipe. I was dismayed to see that the camera did not work... at all. i tried clearing data etc but it still FC'd. Shame as this seems like a cool ROM :)

I did look through the last 10 pages but did not have time to search more to see if this is an issue.

Keep up the good work Geo :) will keep an eye on this ROM...
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
My camera works fine, are you using a different kernel? If you are you need to use one of the kernels without the 720p option.
[Nexus One Android Development] AndyClough:
Aaaahhhhh, I must admit i did flash WM kernel...

Will try again tomo evening and report back because it did seem a whole lot quicker / snappier.

Andy
[Nexus One Android Development] fzr-r4:
WM has non 720 versions compatible with Geo's ROM's.
[Nexus One Android Development] borjoyzee:
its currently set to always..
[Nexus One Android Development] ardatdat:
So sad to hear that some ppl get battery drain using my kernel /_\. :(

Really thinking whether I should continue to maintain it or else maybe many ppl are not so satisfied with PureFroyo.

BTW, thanks for your support fzr-r4 and nice to hear that it works great in your phone
[Nexus One Android Development] tameracingdriver:
well I did end up going back to the stock kernel after discovering that my android system process was, for no apparent reason, using 100% cpu usage, which would certainly explain the battery drain (I only noticed this because my phone suddenly started running pretty slow for no reason). My phone is now running superbly, and no battery drain - I guess some phones just don't play nice with certain kernels. I'm using this with the lucid theme and I'm over the moon with it so far.

Good work everyone.
[Nexus One Android Development] OrganizedFellow:
:) thanks for the recommend.
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
Those of you who are experiencing battery drain, are you using the wifi calling app?

ardatdat I quoted you because my "feeling" is that the wifi calling app may be responsible and not your kernel.
