Great work!

I just want to thank the author and everyone involved with SuperFroyo! I've been searching for a solid Froyo ROM for my G1, and I think I've found it. I've tried a number of other Froyo ROMs (Cyanogen, Chromatic, ZX), all of them were either painfully slow, rebooting constantly, force close messages everywhere or worse.

SuperFroyo is amazing!

My only issues so far:

1. cmparts_ui.xml would not import for me. "XML File not found"

2. Several areas of the ROM are in Spanish, or roughly translated English. I was able to use Google translate to figure it all out however.

3. I wish there were better instructions on how to set up your phone to prepare it for SuperFroyo. Such as: Partition recommendations (pros and cons for different configurations, whether a certain partition is required or just recommended), compcache, JIT, Swap, etc.

Again, great work! :)

WTF....

As I mentioned yesterday I do love this rom. I had 2.6 running like a marathon champ. Thought I would give 2.8 a shot, then decided to go ahead and flash 2.8.2. Thats when all hell busted loose in the phone. First it wouldn't load up the gapps, so I just reflashed right over and it gave them back to me (YAY). So I followed the steps on post #37 to the tee. So now thats sqaured away. So now begins the long ass process of redownloading all my paid and free apps (which is 95), that was going smooth but then it wouldn't download over half of them. It would get to the point to start the download but then just quit halfway through. So I said "F" this 2.8.2 rom and go back to 2.6. Well when trying to do so it wouldn't allow me to flash it, even after wiping everything. So I tried to flash other roms out there, even Eclair ones, and none of them would install. So next I did a fastboot, wiped the phone clean, repartitioned the card, and still nothing is working right. Right now I can load 2.6 it goes right to the home screen, so I know I have to reflash it over itself to get the gapps. But now I'm affraid to get the App2sd going again. WTF am I doing wrong.
[G1 Android Development] motoman234:
Im having almost the same problem, I literally cant flash ANYTHING at all after 2.8.2. Everything freezes. Even after a fastboot erase system.

now granted i DO have the low mem prob but thats to me just trying to install ALL the apps i had on eclair. im going to redo my setup so i can get rid of the low mem but just wanted to show it IS working. my process was to flash as instructed THEN after letting it sit i checked off swap and set swappiness (i dont think that mattered) THEN turned on turbo mode THEN went to applications and checked off unknown sources THEN went to spare parts and checked off allow app moving. FINALLY i rebooted THEN went to supset and checked off a2sd. waited a few after rebooting and let titanium back up do its thing. and now i have a2sd running fine. now that was MY method hopefully it will work for you all too. us app hoarders need to stick together lol

Apps2SD problem

Guys Please Help

moment I enable Apps2SD, phone restart and gets stuck on t-mobile screen (first screen when you turn phone on) on 2.6 and 2.8.2?

after wiping I partitioned the SDcard (512MB EXT3, 64MB LinuxSWAP)

FYI: my phone details

G1

Recovery: Amon_RA 1.7.0

Radio 2.22.23.02

SD Card: Kingston 4GB MicroSD HC

also is there any

English

version of SupSetup?

Many thanks
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
for how long did you wait before saying It get stock?

can you watch logcat to see if there is activity goin on?

adb logcat
[G1 Android Development] Chapsticky:
WTF....

It maybe a very noob question, but isn't the firerat patch the same thing that is listed on post #37 ????
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
thats Firerat MTD partition hack

there are few firerat patches around but here we are talking about the FR-MTD hack

I dont use or recommend the use f another fr-patch since everything works

specially on v2.6 Lite:)
[G1 Android Development] Chapsticky:
Still confused.......

I don't wanna do post #37, and the rom is running fine. My HUGE question why can't I go back to Eclair roms, like SuperBad or Cyanogen 5.08? Those are just some I like to have in the sdcard if something F's up with roms sometimes.
[G1 Android Development] smjfosho:
i had this problem as well, i was using firerats custom partition patch. i reflashed my recovery and everything was fine after that.
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
you dont have to, that's why is not on OP, its only for ppl who dont want to use A2sd

but, if you already used it once and want to flash a bigger rom you need to modify the text file, otherwise the new rom will not fit on system (been 70Mb as txt file instructed MTD)

or, you can fastboot recovery again

Apps2SD problem

Please find attached Logcat which is done after waiting for 15min on the first screen (t-mobile screen).

Many thanks and keep up the good work

P.S. Really like the theme
[G1 Android Development] tman7510:
This solution works great for 2.8.2, no need to flash #4. Thanks so much to whoever wrote these scripts and thanks to Super@tmel for SuperFroyo :-)
[G1 Android Development] phillyboi47:
?

As good as this rom is, i will admit, i don't really like how Super@tmel somewhat intentionally discredited Cyanogen for the base of this. I understand that this is open source and everything, but still.
[G1 Android Development] smuvman:
logcat

i had the same issue many times. the only way i was able to avoid it was by flashing the rom instead of doing a nand restore. not sure which method you tried but id start from the beginning and erase system and go from there. btw the problem doesnt have anything to do with a2sd. i know because this was the same logcat i had when trying to flash the 1st cm6 rom which didnt even have the a2sd option. it may just be that once ur phone reboots AFTER u click a2sd u get the bootloops.
[G1 Android Development] dalexbanda:
I had this same problem after doing the Firerat's patch. I had to reflash my recovery image and rom's started loading normal again. Apparently when you do the flash it changes you recovery image. (Took me a loooooooooooong time to figure this out) what a simple fix.
[G1 Android Development] bylokk:
how much of a battery-safer is this rom? I mean in the original spanish thread it has been advertised as such ... so has anyone made any experiences with that?
[G1 Android Development] ATZ-007:
Thanks for your advice

I flashed the ROM straight without Nand Restore after doing all 5 wipes using Recovery: Amon_RA 1.7.0.

If there is a better way to erase system, then please advice me how?
[G1 Android Development] Shadoxity:
Hey mate,

I have been running this rom for a day and a half. took it off charge at 7am this morning.

Decent amount of txt (20-30), some web browsing (Bout 5mins) 3-4 phone calls. and the ocasionally check time.

Also updated 8 apps.

It is now 11:28pm and i have 28% battery left.

And this thing is flying to!!! really happy :)

Using apps2sd and Jit. 80 2 MTD partition
[G1 Android Development] danielrouse:
Low Interal Storage

I've just started getting a message in the status bar "Low on Space - Phone storage space is getting low."

My 8GB SD card has been formatted 96MB Swap, 512MB Ext4, and the remainder as FAT. After booting up the first time, I restarted the device and enabled Apps2SD in SupSetup. Since then I've installed several applications. I've just checked my internal storage and I'm down to 8MB. Apps2SD is still checked off in SupSetup.

I went to my applications manager and noticed that my applications were all offering to "Move to SD Card" (strange?). I moved all the larger applications to the SD card using this method, but it doesn't seem to have changed my free internal storage space. The "Low Space" warning persists, even after a restart.

Any ideas? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] smuvman:
fastboot

the BEST way to erase system is to place your phone in fastboot mode (power button+back button) then pull up a cmd shell (assuming you have adb and fastboot installed) and enter fastboot erase system -w and presto system wiped. if you DONT have fastboot or adb installed just go to search and enter either term :D keep in mind the ONLY time u NEED to erase system is if you changed the size of you mtd partition OR if you just wanna start from scratch.
[G1 Android Development] rumsey:
I can't make any sense out of the original post about this rom, there seems to be some kind of language barrier here. Here's my issue maybe someone has a solution. Currently I run Cannon's Complete Eclair, and have for a long while. I tried flashing CM6 on top of it and that worked just fine except from what I understand Froyo does apps2sd differently and none of my apps on ext were showing up. So I restored back to Eclair and stuck with that. Am I correct in understanding that this rom disables Froyos default apps2sd handling and uses the older ext partition method? Can I flash this rom over cannon's and will all my apps just show up and work?
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
yeah, sorry for the confusion, app2sd froyo is diff and doesn't store apps on ext partition but on Fat32 and is activated from within spareparts settings

and for app2sd to EXT partition you have to activated it from Supsetup, once activated expect couple reboot while moving apps to you ext partition

hope that helps
[G1 Android Development] Noslice2002:
I have tried to get apps2sd to work on this rom. The one from supsetup. It doesn't seem to move anything to the sd card. My internal storage goes down every time I install an app. I have rebooted to see if you need to, in order for the system to move them to the sd card. I am having no luck. Any ideas that may move the apps over to my ext3 partition? I have quite a few that I use on a frequent basis. Any help or tricks to make this option work would be awesome. Great rom, smooth and quick, just need apps to ext. Thanks
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
check post 185 to see if app2sd its working
[G1 Android Development] Noslice2002:
It seems they are going to the sd card, but why is my internal storage dropping every time I install an app? This seems to be be kinda odd, and I'm afraid it will adversely affect this rom, since the internal storage will be gone soon. Any answers as to why? Just wondering, I love this rom, and want to be able to continue to use it.
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
when you say they are going to sdcard do you mean fat32 or ext partition?

internal memory is also used for dalvik cache so decrease of space is expected:)
[G1 Android Development] whywhy1:
Are you guys over-clocking this rom? if so can i get the .ZIP :D
[G1 Android Development] Noslice2002:
The apps are going to the ext3 partition. I have about 30 apps installed, and only 15 mb of internal storage left. That seems like quite a bit of Dalvik to be eaten up that quickly. I used to have over 200 apps on my phone with eclair, and never ran into an issue of "low storage". I love everything about this rom, except this issue. The battery life is phenomenal, it is quick enough for a daily driver, just wish I could put all of apps that would like to on my phone. I'm not trying to be a pain, or *****, just want to make this rom run as well as it can for me. Thanks
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
Just take Firerat's apps2sd patch that has an option to move dalvik-cache to ext or his global patch that can also bound /data/data folder to ext and you have everything as in your good ol' Eclair.
[G1 Android Development] Snipe175:
Is anyone out there having the same issue as me? I received MMS texts and the pictures are all pixely and low resolution, even if i download them or copy them to the SD card...

firerats patch

im actually having a problem where i'll do dalvik to sd and after i run the script it'll show its been move but once i reboot dalvik is back on data. only thing i can think of is that i did it through adb shell. im going to try and do it from terminal and see if that works. btw im using the mtd patch also. EDIT: that was the culprit. do NOT be lazy like i was and try to use firerats dalvik2sdext script through adb shell. i now have over 200 apps installed and 33mb of internal space left :)
[G1 Android Development] j1mb34m:
First off--let me congratulate you on the AWESOME work! I'm coming from the CM6 nightly builds, and I'm very pleased. Here's what I did:

1. wipe everything, repartition sdcard (ext, linux, fat)

2. Flash zip from first page

3. entered in my login data, disabled restore (didn't do the four-corner business)

I had a few reboots, and it bootlooped three times. But since then it's been great. I don't understand how the apps2sd works though. I thought that enabling it in the v6 app would automatically install new apps to ext, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Either way, the rom is lightening fast (no swap, compache or JIT enabled either)!

I'm wondering, will firerat's all-in-one patch work to move dalvik cache to sdcard? (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=679572)

Also, if I were to simply push apps to ext partition, will this rom recognize them?

Edit: Edit: Yes--you can just push the apks to /sd-ext/app/ and they'll automatically recognized and linked to the market. I didn't even install them! Didn't try moving apps to ext, so I'm not sure if that will work.

Thank you again for the awesome, awesome work! :)

Wi-fi and ringtones

I can turn wi-fi on OK but as soon as I try the setting that let's you view the active wi-fi connections that are available it crashes. Same thing goes for ringtones selection but luckily I downloaded ringdroid and got around that..is there any app that will manage wi-fi on the G1 much as Ringdroid manages ringtones? Unless there is any update beyond 2.8.2 I simply don't see any way to fix this.

Any and all help is much appreciated!

does this rom require danger spl?
[G1 Android Development] lutpiero:
love this rom, its been running stable and fast (v 2.6) for almost a week, but when I'm trying to sync the gmail it suddenly hung, and I'm trying to reboot, but it can't. now it's boot loop.

I try flashing higher version, but now I'm loosing gapps :(.

Hope next version will restore my gapps

how do you enable jit in this rom ? theres no option in sup setup
[G1 Android Development] West650:
I try to look at my contacts or call log and I get, "The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Why is this?
[G1 Android Development] j1mb34m:
Enabling JIT in spare parts work--I just did it. Linpack score jumped from like 2...something, to 3.8. I don't think there's a need for it, given how fast this rom is already on my G1 (!!!), but we'll see how well it works out :)

[G1 Android Development] j1mb34m:
It's a euro-style keyboard. to change it--Menu -> SupSetup -> Options -> Cambio de teclado (translate=change the keyboard) -> Telclado Americano

Best Froyo ROM I have found for this time, love it
[G1 Android Development] Shadoxity:
Or if you are like me and that link is greyed out on the program (god knows why :S)

You can replace /system/usr/keychars and /keylayout with the files from another rom (i used the ones out of chromatic) and then rebooted and i got my alt keys back how they are meant to be :D
[G1 Android Development] NLJ:
Thanks to your tip I found a bit easier way:

use terminal or adb shell and head over to /syste/usr/keychars

most interesting files are:

trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin

trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bineu

trout-keypad-v3.kcm.binus

now just

mount -o remount,rw /system

cp trout-keypad-v3.kcm.binus trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin

mount -o remount,ro /system

and reboot

There is no need to change anything in /system/usr/keylayout as trout-keypad-v3.kleu and trout-keypad-v3.klus are identical (have exactly the same md5sum)

Internal storage space low?

I've just flashed a fresh copy of SuperFroyo 2.6 Lite, enabled Apps2SD in SupSetup, removed a few ringtones from /system/media/audio.

Settings -> SD Card & phone storage is reporting 37.08MB free internal phone storage. Does that seem right? Other Froyo ROMs I've used seem to have a lot more internal free space after a fresh install. Is there anything else I can do to free internal storage? Does anybody know what is eating this up on SuperFroyo?

I understand that moving dalvik cache to the SD is a possibility, but I've read a number of threads talking about how this can cause instability and slowdowns.
[G1 Android Development] j1mb34m:
I tried using fr-patch134 with the "sdext" and "dc2x" commands to link dalvik to sdcard. It didn't work. I have only 23mb free on my g1 at the moment. I didn't even install any apps--just pushed them to /sd-ext/app/ using ADB. Despite the awesomeness of this rom, I would like to find out how to free up space. Moving dalvik to SD will automatically free up like 30 mb (giving me like 50mb, i would guess), but on cm6 (with mounting dalvik to sd), I had like 80 mb free. So there's like 30 mb being taken up by SOMETHING, I jsut wish I could find out what....maybe it's all the lady gaga ringtones....;)

Silence the Camera - Including the Focus Lock Sound

If anyone else is looking to completely silence the camera by removing the focus lock sound, replace /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg with the attached no_sound.ogg

You may need to make /system writable first:

[G1 Android Development] etu_aty:
ok for all those people having issues with low memory due to apps2sd not working, all you need to do is enable apps2sd in supsetup, then run firerat patch134 with sdext and dc2x, then reboot a couple of times just to make sure the scripts are writen.. then use root explorer or some app that lets you browse the files, go to system/etc/init.d and copy the scripts there over to system/etc/super.. reboot and then run either the firerat patch to move each apps or the new alpha that links the whole apps to sd-ext... here is firerat saying that you should do this (post #166 and #167 :)

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/2636-froyo-a2sdext-2010-07-25/page__st__160

note: Do a backup first, in case you f**k something up

it works for me, for some reason the dalvik-cache is not moved entirely, just the dalvik from the new apps but it helps to keep the size of the data partition at a 55% just like when you just flashed the rom.

btw im on v2.8.2 im going to try the famous v2.6 right now. ill let you guys know if this same method works.

- was ALT and G which would normally make }

Ç was the @ button next to the spacebar...

This rom is awesome except for that one flaw!!!!!

BUT the only ones that really work are the number ones at the top of the keyboard... any insight as to why this is the way it is?

sorry, but yes, that's it
