2.6 is the way to go!

Juangil,

You're right, I finally gave up on getting 2.82 fully functional and then took your suggestion and wiped and loaded 2.6 Lite. It literally flies! My previous problems in 2.8.2 in getting ringtones selection and volume to stop crashing and in selecting wi-fi access points (it too would crash) all disappeared with version 2.6! Yeah!!

I just wanted to lend my thanks and my support to you and to version 2.6!

[G1 Android Development] j1mb34m:
Thanks for the help, and for supplementing FR's response :) A question though...well, a few questions.

1. You say to run the sdext and dc2x patch and reboot "a couple times to make sure the scripts are written." Do you mean run the patch once, then reboot a few times, or to run the patch a few times too? The only file I can find in the /system/etc/init.d/ directory is "05mountsd"--should running the patch add additional files? I copied the one file over to the /system/etc/super/ directory but it didnt work :(

2. Is using the 0-6-1 patch necessary? I would prefer to simply push the files to sdext and have the OS pick them up, rather than moving apps from internal to external memory (I don't really need to use the market for apps, I could just download them to PC and push them if I want a new app). However, the sdext apps appear in both the /data/app/ and the /system/sd/ directories (though only when the phoen is booted. From recovery, no apps are in either directory). Is it possible that the sdext apps are somehow copied over to internal memory and are actually being ran from there?

Thanks a lot for your response--I'm going to flash 2.6 right now and retry the steps you outlined.
[G1 Android Development] etu_aty:
Sorry I can't help you right now, ill be out untill saturday. Btw, I have been running 2.6 for a day and now the memory is filled up again.. sooo... it stopped working. Is good just for 2.8.2. Ill try to help when I get back.

And for the last post, the sdext and dc2x is one time run, the v6.0.1 every time you install a new app. See ya.
[G1 Android Development] etu_aty:
I think we should ask Firerat for help here, after all he is the genius behind the patches we are using :-) he is a cool dude, I'm sure he will help us.
[G1 Android Development] tallmike:
Hi juangil,

thanks for the rom. definitely one of fastest roms out there.

Running 2.8.2 for couple of days now and seems quite fast and reliable.

One issue though, it seems that after rebooting the some settings would go went to the state of fresh install.

for example,

keyboard would go back to stock keyborad instead of smartpro

3rd-party widgets are appeared still installed but not display correctly, nor can be used

mixzing went to back to stock version comes with rom
[G1 Android Development] ANtiHazarD:
amazing fast.... but how can i get more languages into rom? I need the russian lang...
[G1 Android Development] damngood98:
is anyone else having issues w/this rom double texting people? been happening to me all over the place. and when i say double, not twice in a row but like hours or even days later people are getting a message from me they already received.:confused:
[G1 Android Development] c-brit323:
This rom is reeeeeaaaaalllllyyy good on the battery if I might add.
[G1 Android Development] v3rk:
love this rom!

i've had my g1 for a while but am completely new to this. with that said i've tried a lot of roms, toyed around with a lot of settings and our of all the 2.1+ roms i've flashed i find this one to be the stable and also most responsive yet. only had a couple fc's so far, but i've only had it running the last couple days. sticking with 2.8.2 because i get errors with the other builds when trying to watch online videos.

i'm using adw with 3 screens, scrolling speed at 50 and overshoot at 0 with horizontal, unanimated drawer and non-fading labels. no sense previews with clean screen mode enabled. though i don't have many widgets at all i'm using screen cache without noticeable detriment. system persist with desktop dots/indicator and the backgrounds of the drawer button and action buttons disabled.

i don't use many apps at all so apps2sd isn't utilized (never messed with firerat's stuff), and neither is compcache or jit. just 64mb swap with swappiness at 60 through the supsetup. oh and the cpu was set at 384000 so i bumped it up to 576000 with a 245760 min.

this setup has my little g1 flying with hardly a problem at all as said. wifi has worked without incident, don't use bluetooth so couldn't say either way. anyway this is my first post and i wanted to use it to congratulate the makers of this rom (including cyanogen assuming it's based off his builds, but i gotta say that if cm6 is a 10, this is an 11 ;)). so thanks!!!!!!!

i'm also wondering about experiences with different setups. for those who use swap, what swappiness has worked best for you?
[G1 Android Development] j1mb34m:
I just switched to this rom--didn't see a need for swap, compache or jit at first, but I started playing with them a couple days ago. The only real thing I have to add, and you might already know this, but higher swap values will degrade your sdcard faster. From what I understand, you should only really be using swap if you have a class 6 card. Like I said, you might already know that. The only other thing i have to say is that things have worked better for me with a lower swap (like 20 or 30). If swap is higher, whenever I toggle between apps that have to load when they first start, they re-load when I go back to them. With swap at 20 or 30, I'm able to go back and forth between apps without them having to reload. I have no idea what's kicking the app out of swap when it's set to higher values but, at least for me, swap seems to work better with lower settings.

Also, if you don't have a class 6, you might want to use compache instead. I think compache does teh same as swap, but it does it on internal memory (which is much faster). I used to be able to run both swap and compache, but now you can only do one or the other I guess (maybe it was a bad idea to have both enabled in the first place?). Oh, and JIT seems like a good bet too--it raised my linpack score from 2.3 to 3.8 and, though I can't really see a noticeable difference in performance (blazing fast either way!), I can't help but think it speeds things up a little. :)

Still only have 26 mb free on my internal memory...no clue why, I didn't install any apps, I only had some on ext before flashing the rom. Even if I could get dalvik cache over to sd (which I can't seem to figure out how to do), there's still liek 30 megs being taken up by something...anyone have a clue how to resolve that? Thanks! Awesome rom too--viva la espana! :)
[G1 Android Development] v3rk:
i wasn't aware of swap requiring higher class sd cards. i'll try using compcache instead and even nothing at all just for the sake of comparison. luckily my wife has a g1 as well, which makes it easy for me to test :D

thanks for the input my man
[G1 Android Development] rizocreations:
man this is the ONLY froyo rom that does not reboot randomly! F YOU bootloops! :)
[G1 Android Development] trapdogg:
Love this froyo. Swap gave me delay on my mytouch, fast as hell when I turned it off
[G1 Android Development] etu_aty:
Ok guys I'm back and I have good news, I found out how to fix the apps2sd problem. Ill post a detailed way to do it later. Just to let you know, you are going to have to use firerat's custom mtd recovery and boot v1.5 to allow the dc2x and sdext patches to symlink the init.d directory to the super one. In other words, to let the script run at boot and move the dalvik-cache to sd-ext :-)

BTW I went back to 2.8.2. For some reason it runs faster and smoother than 2.6 for me.
[G1 Android Development] ionic7:
I have the newest version of extreme froyo and I have not recived 1 random reboot yet, never had one on it for the version before that either, recived them frequently on some other ranomd froyos, but the extreme was best i hvae used so far.
[G1 Android Development] Shadoxity:
Awesome! Wish i realised that.

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] chillywillyhoe:
i cant figure out what one i should download, the front page is so messy, can anybody help me out?
[G1 Android Development] ionic7:
There are differnt verssions, it clearly recommends that you download 2.6, and the newest version on there is 2.8.2 not sure how much more info you need to figure out what to download its really your choice do you want the newest one or one that is recommended
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
there is no a problem with app2sd whatsoever with this rom, if is not working for you then, is "User Error"

its been tested and proven on v2.8.2 & v2.6

on another note: don't try to keep your system memory empty, why would you want it empty??:confused:

Let the system use that memory, its faster than Sd card (dont need to move dalvik to sd)
[G1 Android Development] cd993:
The problem I face with this rom is that after managing to get apps2sd working and installing apps to my sd card, it also must make a copy in the internal memory. By that I mean that upon installing an app both my sd card and internal memory will go down (2mb each if the app installed is 2mb) but yet only one app will be listed in the launcher. Have I gone wrong here somewhere? SD card is partitioned correctly with ext3 (have tried ext4 too with no success), enabled within supsetup, rebooted etc.

Any ideas? Other than this one problem for me, this rom is perfect!
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
browse to system/sd/app using root explorer (or similar) if you find this folder and see your apps there you are ok
[G1 Android Development] chillywillyhoe:
i can see that but whats the diffrence between 2.6 vs 2.8.2, it doesnt state that, is 2.8.2 the latest version? or is 2.6 a side project. i downloaded 2.6 battery lite and it flies so i guess ill stick to that one unless 2.8.2 is better
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
2.6 only has Gapps

improvements on v2.8 & v2.8.2 are clearly stated on OP;)
[G1 Android Development] etu_aty:
I know it works but the "problem" is the data filling up. And some people, including me, want to free up some space in data by moving what we want to sd and keeping what we want in data using firerat's patch. I don't see any slow downs so far... I am going to post how to do it and let the people using the rom choose if they want to do it or not. I see that there is a ot of people having the low memory problem. So...
[G1 Android Development] bloqhead:
Just got this rom installed and squared away. I have to say this rom is absolutely wonderous :o. It runs faster than the 1.6 rom I had prior. I initially ran into a boot loop but running the install a second time after completely clearing everything worked fine. AWESOME WORK!

EDIT: Also, how do I go about donating to the developer? I usually donate for the roms I use.
[G1 Android Development] etu_aty:
apps2ext with firerat`s patch

ok so here is the way to do it.... first off download the FR-recovery and FR-boot v1-5-1 from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=717874 if you dont have them.

I recommend to do a backup of the apps and then do a fresh flash so that no config file is left there.

1) Go into recovery wipe everything, repair sd ext, flash the FR-recovery-v1-5-1, reboot to recovery as the instructions say...

2) Flash the rom (Im running this on 2.8.2, havent tried on 2.6) If you want ringtones and notification sounds download and flash this right after the rom http://www.mediafire.com/?tctywjwo0cb

3) Flash the FR-boot-v1-5-1 and reboot, leave it there for 7 or 8 minutes and then set up your account.

4) Once your on your homescreen, go into spare parts an check allow application moving, go back to homescreen.

Note: go into supsetup and change the keyboard en options/cambio de teclado to teclado americano, dont touch nothing else untill everything is done. NOTHING just the keyboard change.

5) Now go into terminal and run fr-patch134.txt dc2x sdext and then reboot and wait, be patient cause is going to take a couple of minutes...

After this you can start installing your apps and moving them with this patch fr-apps2sd-ext-v0-6-1.sh.txt (http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/2636-froyo-a2sdext-2010-07-25/)

Then you can use supsetup to change ths settings, cpu freq and all thats in there... but NEVER CHECK the APPS2SD option inside THERE cuase it will screw this up.

I hope this helps those people with tons of apps that want to use this awesome rom but are running out of internal memory and cant install all the apps they have. I installed more than 50 apps and 10 very big games and I have 95 mb left on my data so it works for sure.

Thanks to Super@tmel for the rom and to Firerat for the patches... cheers :cool:

Internet Sharing via Wifi

Anyone else unable to share internet via wifi using this ROM?

Specifically, using Barnacle Wifi Tether (tried the "Legacy" version as well). This application has worked well for me on several other ROMs.

It appears to start correctly, but the access point is not visible from any of my devices. I tried connecting manually to the point (in case barnacle was unable to broadcast the SSID for some reason). Still nothing.

Tethering via USB works great however!
[G1 Android Development] crodgers79:
I think it may be easier this way..

I don't know why everyone is so wrapped-around-the-axle trying to get Apps2sd/ext to work. Here's all I do and it works for me every time with this ROM (note that I have an EXT4 partition setup on my SD card, I can't guarantee that this will work if you do not have an EXT4 partition already setup on your SD card, so 'buyer beware'). This procedure works "automagically" on both the 2.8X version as well as the 2.6 Lite (which I am currently running):

Again an EXT4 partition is required before you do any of this:

1) Go into recovery wipe everything, repair sd ext, flash the FR-recovery-v1-5-1, power off, then power on/reboot to recovery.

2) Flash the ROM and then immediately flash the FR-boot-v1-5-1 and reboot, leave it there for ten minutes and then set up your account. If Froyo begins automatically downloading (restoring) all of your previous apps, that's OK just let it, in the next step Superatmel's Supersetup v6 will move them to your SD card "automagically."

4) Once your phone finishes the initial synchronization and you are back on on your home-screen and things have finally settled down then go into "Supersetup v6" and check Apps2SD and the phone will immediately reboot, it will also then automatically move any apps downloaded as part of the initial setup/synchronization to SD (to the aforementioned EXT4 partition).

Don't mess with _any_ other Apps2sd or other apps settings in Spare Parts or CM6 settings, or other Firerat scripts or whatever, just leave it alone and let SuperSetup v6 do it's thing!! Superatmel did some great work with this ROM and especially with SuperSetup v6, so I think those settings take priority over everything else included in this ROM which is probably why this whole Apps2sd thing seems so simple to me.

I also agree that you should go into Supersetup v6 and change the keyboard en options/cambio de teclado to teclado americano.

BTW, using this method I have about 35 apps downloaded and installed and still have 48Mb free!

Just my two-cents to try and help everyone!

Regards to all,

Chris R.
[G1 Android Development] sasa3791:
hi all,

Can't use if I updated from super froyo inside version. Says no config file found.

How can i fix it?
[G1 Android Development] etu_aty:
As I said, the method I posted is for people with over 100 apps... those apps just wont fit in those 48 Mb you have left, would they? I know the supsetup does its thing and is great but you run out of data memory as well... the method I use is the old way, eclair like for people with a lot of apps. And again, you can choose what to move to sd and what to keep in data. I saw guys asking how to free some memory and thats a way to do it.

[G1 Android Development] fredptc:
As firerat said, if you don't change mtd partitions with mtdpartmap.txt or somthing else no change, you can just flash rom, then flash xxrootxx then reboot. notice that fr's scripts have gone to 1.5.2, i recommend you do a new flash like instruction. that's quite simple, isn't it?
[G1 Android Development] j1mb34m:
Thank you very much for this info--I followed the steps and have successfully moved my apps to sd, and have like 88mb free internal memory. I also decided to keep dalvik on internal (thanks OP).

A few questions though--can I toggle something to install new apps on ext? I'm guessing the answer is "no". Also, enabling JIT through spareparts, and Swap in V6 is a good idea, right? As far as compache goes, would you suggest enabling it in V6 or spareparts? Just curious.

Thanks a lot, this rom is rocking--soemtimes can't make outgoing calls, but it's all good--Google Voice to the rescue! :)
[G1 Android Development] etu_aty:
Glad you got it working and you can do pretty much anything you want in supsetup v6 as long as you dont check the apps2sd option in there, for me compcache is working better than swap for the rom... swap makes it a bit laggy. If you check, once you enable compcache in spare parts the box inside supsetup is checked as well so it doesnt matter. Btw I have JIT and compcache running and is blazing fast :D

first post on here: i am having the same problem with the data in the internal memory being to low as well. i am tryin to make out what you guys said on the previous threads and gonna try to flash firerat mtd. some of the files changed on his page so hope i got the right ones. im taking it this flashes a new recovery img first then?? not sure? this rom rocks tho!!!! has anybody else noticed that the notification bar dissapears and reappears when swiping and kinda gets annoying? havent figured out how to stop this yet.
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
its a feature of ADWLauncher, a screen swipe upward will show/hide notification bar, a swipe down will open notification.. you can disable it from ADW settings>system preferences>
[G1 Android Development] j1mb34m:
Hey, I quoted the process that worked for me (#203). The FR-Recovery file changes part of your recovery. then power off and on, then flash the rom, then flash the FR-Boot file.

The 'fr-recovery' file permanently changes part of the recovery, so you only have to flash it once. The 'fr-boot' file must be flashed immediately following the flashing of a new rom. Then you can use the 'fr-patch' and 'fr-a2sd' patches (obviously the two patches must be flashed with the phone booted, after checking the 'apps2sd' option, and with reboots in between). That's it!
[G1 Android Development] Xx12thANG3LxX:
just a couple more questions:) Now for the firerat mtd question: are the patch files something i download or is it a code i just put into terminal? and you say to not check apps2sd in supsetup in your previous post. so now your saying i should have it checked then? just checking for sure. because somewhere i read i shouldnt have it checked or it will screw it up. oh and when should i set up my partitions in all this? before rom boots? anyway you guys are awesome. thanx for all your help!!!!!!

If you use firerat´s apps2sd script you dont have to check the apps2sd option in supsetup and viceversa... they dont get along n_n

And just to be honest guys I tried a couple others roms these days and nothing seems to come close to the speed and stability of this one. Dont even bother flashing anything else... This is the best rom evar! :D

FireRat mtd still not bringing in memory

I have been at this for awhile trying to firerat patch to work, reading all the posts that have everything to do with it. nothing is seeming to work. and im guessing the way i know it works is when i see alot of internal memory increase in the sdcard and phone storage after reboot?

In the op it says nothing about running terminal emulator. just throw on the files and flash them.

I'm just torn with putting all my apps back on my sd card via supsetup or just through spareparts. it seems like a way better choice atm. it'd be nice to have at least the most used apps on internal memory though

i appreciate any advice. gonna go take a nap for now.
[G1 Android Development] fredptc:
thanks for this comment!
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
Please read available information before you ask, try to inform yourself as much as possible, then ask. It seems to me that you are mixing several different things:

- The mtd - patch is needed to eliminate the need of DangerSPL / to give you more internal memory

- the fr-patch13x.txt is used to enable / disable different features of a ROM , i.e. swap, dalvic-cache to sd, ...

- the fr-apps2sd... patch is used to enable applications to be installed on /sd-ext

There are different threads about these topics in this forum. If not here, you can find information in the CM-forum.
[G1 Android Development] jgro1976:
Like others, I've been playing around with various froyo roms lately, and I liked this one the most. However, and I'm on a tmo original mytouch, I kept getting network/data errors when in the market, using maps, browser, etc. It's like it wouldn't make/keep a data connection. Downloading apps took FOREVER, I had to set it up on my wifi to finish the installations. Searching for new apps would result in an error like "no data connection" with the options to retry/cancel. Everything else seemed to work just fine.

Has anyone else run into this? I haven't had this issue with CM's build, but I'm not a huge fan of CM's roms, as they seem to always run a little slow/feel kind of bloated.

Thanks in advance, if I can get these issues figured out, I'll rock this rom.
