v2 Running s'well on my phone:

HTC Dream (Rogers)

Had to flash EBI1 Kernel (bc-6.0.0-ebi1-signed.zip), of course. I wonder if I am the only one using a Rogers HTC Dream. Any chance of making a port of your Kernel so I can enjoy this rom completely?

Other than that, followed the instructions in the OP and think went smoothly.

I tried using swap instead but it went a bit sluggish for me and I switched to CC at the default %.

No FCs just yet! I'll play around with it more after work.

Many thanks BiffMod team :)
[G1 Android Development] diorDNA:
Yeah I think my g1 is just really old and messed up because I know I've read every instruction exactly and I get nothing every time just the g1 screen. I know something's wrong because I flashed 2.0 on my brothers g1 and everything works perfectly. I'm gunna try a few different things that might hopefully help
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
yeah, join the club :)

i`m still trying to figure it out.
[G1 Android Development] :
Just for something to try, can you both just do full wipe flash the update-cm and reboot letting it load and settle please?

If it boots then try a No Wipe update of BiffMod please and let us know how it goes.
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Thanks for the fleshed out instructions. They look like they are for 1.8 though, some things have changed since then... Even initial boot time is fast and subsequent boots are even faster. There is no setup wizard on the initial boot anymore. CC vs Swap is an either/or setting, cant do both. I would prefer everyone flash the BiffModGapps file, just to make supporting everyone easier.
[G1 Android Development] Abhi_UK:
Just checking to be sure, the themes have been updated for 2.0?
[G1 Android Development] ryaninc:
So I've been using 2.0 since early this morning and I have to say, I'm really impressed.l It's way faster than 1.8 (I never tried 1.9, since I knew 2.0 would require a full-wipe anyway). All of the areas where I was previously experiencing lag, namely going into and out of apps, rotating the screen, waking the screen up, etc. are all noticeably faster, which is awesome. :D

I also love the little additions, like swiping individual notifications to clear them...so helpful!

Overall, I'd say it definitely lives up to the hype. Since I'll have to hold off getting a G2 for a little while (just too expensive at the moment), having such a rock-solid ROM for my G1 is excellent. Thanks to the whole BiffmodTeam! :cool:
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
tried that too. after >10 minutes ( it was on the boot-logo with android "the safe state ..." or what was written there ). it never ends booting. i should still wait ? that boot-logo flickers for several times but that was all.
[G1 Android Development] mindstormmaster1:
That is correct. All the themes have been updated to work with 2.0 and I have tested most of them and they do work and they work well. So enjoy!
[G1 Android Development] langrisser:
Try using FixFlash, worked for me when i had that problem
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
what is that ?

edit: nevermind, i can`t use adb.
[G1 Android Development] :
Logcat please, let it run so you get the flicker a couple of times then save to notepad and attach for us to look at.
[G1 Android Development] HawkiesZA:
I had a similar issue, my Home button didn't work at all. It made the backlights come on and then nothing. Turns out I needed to do a full, proper wipe. By this I mean, do the wipe of the /system partition as described in one of the three methods and then wipe in recovery. Maybe I missed a step somewhere and was a dumbass, but doing all that seemed to work. BM2.0 is now running smoothly; I don't think the phone ran this smoothly when I had it with 1.5.

Btw, you can add a successful flash to a South African Dream to the list. Thanks, and keep up the great work guys! :-D
[G1 Android Development] bassbox:
Here's my log for every1 who wanna risk to take a look^^

http://konsumtrottel.de/log.txt
[G1 Android Development] nmw407:
Help, please. I got Biffmod 2.0 to run - everything looks good, except I can't get into Terminal. Every time I try to type in su, it gives me permission denied.

Do I need to just reflash Biffmod and gapps again with no wipe? Should I wipe and start over?
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
i have no data connection with the phone. some phisically issues with the phone`s connectors.
[G1 Android Development] :
Open app draw and open Super User app and clear terminal permissions and try again.
[G1 Android Development] :
The flickering could represent it loading files, keep it booting and see if the logo freezes then after a few seconds cycles again please.
[G1 Android Development] MetaBolic0:
Im sorry if this is un stupid question but i have made partitions on SD for install CM6 now in the "7 - Wipe SD Ext and repair SD Ext partition (other wipe options are redundant due to Fastboot erase)" its supose to put SD as original right? After that step is suppose to have all the things in SD card or the SD card should be empty?!

And what mean this step:"12 - Now you can decide if you want to use Compcache or Swap - Enjoy making up your own mind!"?! Sory for the noob question but i dont make any mistake
[G1 Android Development] :
It only wipes the ext partition, all files on fat32 are left untouched.
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
the logo doesn`t freeze. it appear, it will disappear for a second ( with fade, i guess ) then reappears. and that`s all for many minutes. i don`t know what to do anymore. the hole day i was just ... flashing :)
[G1 Android Development] gamin92:
I'd like to know too...
[G1 Android Development] am03ba:
just flashed it on my magic 32A with the correct kernal :) and it is awesomely fast and smooth. hope the battery life lives up to the hype.

Another south African here, our SP have forgotten about updates,stock is still on 1.5! SIGH

thx guys for your hard work
[G1 Android Development] crisvillani:
Hey guys this sounds like a great rom and I really want to try it but I have a htc magic ebi1(32A), so will the rom be fully functional if I just flash an 32A kernel over the rom?

EDIT: nvm saw post above lol feel like an idiot.
[G1 Android Development] gamin92:
Thanks a lot !
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
I think a page back somebody already said they flashed they EBI1 (32a) kernel and it worked good. We will look into porting the entire rom to 32A.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Awesome glad to know. Thanks for sticking with it. 1.5? That's crazy south africa hasn't got the ota of 1.6, I would be pissed off. But at least you got xda and you know how to root. Enjoy the speed of 2.0.
[G1 Android Development] MetaBolic0:
Thanks shadowch you always help me :D

The two last questions i swear:

1-What should i choose or what is best to choose in this step:"And what mean this step:"12 - Now you can decide if you want to use Compcache or Swap - Enjoy making up your own mind!"??

2-Where we can config the launcher i dont find it on settings like in CM6??? :confused:

Sory for the noob questions!
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Step 12 is pretty self explainitory, choose if you want to use swap or compcache, if you keep swap un checked you should go into the cc settings and choose one of the % points. But that choice is totally up to you and the testing you have done on your phone. Try both options and see what works best for you. Free will is an awesome thing.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
We are using Launcher2 in biffmod which is the stock froyo launcher and as such its plain and simple with no extras so no settings. But that is also why there is no lag from the launcher nor no reloads. Launcher2 rocks. "You don't need to sticken launcher settings"
[G1 Android Development] ra100x:
This ROM is great,

but I have one problem, when I want to open notifications, my G1 reboots, could it be something with import of settings, I've backed up all data and apps with MyBackup and then restored them (I've had Biffmod 1.8 before flashing, and full wipe).

When I have no messages there, it works just fin, but when I have some notifications, and open it (slide down) phone freezes and reboots.

logcat:

(hope there's everithing, sorry, I'm doing this first time :) )
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Try running fix_permissions.

Also try uninstalling ChompSMS and see if messaging works.

Then try reinstalling ChomeSMS and see if it crashes again...might be app related..
[G1 Android Development] ZackMorris:
I had a similar issue:

My G1 would boot through the G1 Screen, go through the bootload animation intro, then the android would start falling through the portals (bootload animation.) At some point the screen would go dark, then the process would essentially start over. I left it run for probably about an hour and when I came back to my handset it was just androids falling through portals. I figured I would observe it for a moment and see if it would restart. It wouldn't it just kept looping the bootload animation.

I pulled the battery, got into recovery, then wiped everything. (I didn't restore a previous version, just wiped EVERYTHING.) I booted into fastboot and performed a system wipe. Got back into recovery and reflashed 2.0, the boot took roughly 5 minutes (4:48, to be exact.) The screen went black and I thought... oh crap, it's going to restart again, so i waited. But it didn't restart. So I picked up the phone, hit "Menu" and viola! It was working!

Differences between the 1st ROM load and the 2nd ROM load:

The first time, I did a NAND backup and a BART backup. Then I flashed the .ZIP file for wipe, then I flashed 2.0 and ran into the issue.

The second time I did no backup and wiped via fastboot.

Other than that, anyything else I did was the same for both ROM loads.

Maybe try a system wipe using a different method than the one you originally used.
[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
Going on the interwebs to see this= :D
[G1 Android Development] HawkiesZA:
Oh, we're pissed. Leaf (the guys that bring in HTC) haven't released the update for Desire (they're still on 2.1) or the Hero yet (they're still on 1.5!). They want to make the Firmware OTA free to people seeing as our mobile data rates are horribly high and apparently people can't read the popup that says "WiFi is recommended". It's a long, drawn-out and hopelessly boring story filled with incompetent douchebags for another time. I've been happily laughing at those people for a while now, since I started running CM6-RC1 and now BM2.0.

BM trumps what they can give me anyway. :-D
[G1 Android Development] badboy68:
Thanx to all who contributed on the best fricken rom ever. If u having problems jus follow the new revised instructions and you will be alright, its what I did. And to kolohe, where in hawaii are you?
[G1 Android Development] ra100x:
thanks

I've ran fix_permissions, that was first thing I've done :)

and with ChompSMS, looks like, when it is unistalled, everything is OK, but, after installing, it froze again :(

well, looks like ChompSMS related
[G1 Android Development] diorDNA:
The update-cm booted but 2.0 didn't
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
when i flashed update-cm6....zip i let it >10minutes. and if i could use adb, maybe i also have bm2.0

thanks for advices. i`ll wait my lucky day :D
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Did you try installing ChompSMS from market, as opposed to restoring it from a backup?
[G1 Android Development] MaliceMcGuire:

[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
In the first post of this thread...find the section titled:

"Now for the Few People who are having issues and the above instructions didnt work try this: (Thanks Shadow31 for figuring this out)"

Try those instructions...
[G1 Android Development] MaliceMcGuire:
cool ill let you know how it goes ... and thanx :)
[G1 Android Development] phil0sophic:
The rom 2.0

I flashed rom

I flashed G apps

I downloaded Astro from market

I installed Titanium BU from SD

I restored my files

I configured

I am one happy puppy. The rom is fast and smoothe as promised, no issues at all.

Thanks for all your hard and frustrating work.
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Same here!! Glad to report, All systems Go...No issues!!

Sent from my Plain Biff Dream v2.0
[G1 Android Development] diorDNA:
Sorry about this but what is "FixFlash" I've never heard of it before if
[G1 Android Development] ra100x:
yup, I've istalled it from market,

I'll try clearing ChompSMS data and settings, and reainstalling again in the morning.
[G1 Android Development] coolme90:
for some reason 1.9.2 is faster than 2.0 for me. 2.0 is going real slow for me. i followed "shadow31" instructions because the install guide by ohsaka didn't work for me.(it would just stay in the T-mobile G1 screen)
[G1 Android Development] puppetcarl:
This was worth the wait. I downloaded this on my way to work. Played with it all day. Three hours left at work and battery is still at 57 per. This is nice and fast and I can't seem to add enough apps. Lol

Love the work.
[G1 Android Development] wuziq:
aren't these two steps the same if you pick the fastboot option in step 3?
[G1 Android Development] burn317:
@royalknight Nice work! Glad to see there are 2 versions one for mt3g seems like most roms that aren't made just for it don't work as well. Also thanks for getting the camera issue fixed!
[G1 Android Development] avivot54:
i'm a magic 32a user and a bit confused on the port i should use.

is the cyanogen 6.0 port should be used or a one designed for the nightly builds?
[G1 Android Development] diorDNA:
Ahh finally it booted. I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier but I downloaded the g1 version and I could not get it do anything just stayed at the g1 screen, so after I snooped around for awhile I got an idea to try the mt3g version and now everything is working perfect. So for people having problems i would try this as a last resort if nothing else is working. Oh yeah I flashed the update-cm first and then i let everything settle in and load then I flashed mt3g 2.0. You might be able to just follow the op directions but just using the mt3g version :)
[G1 Android Development] phil0sophic:
The rom 2.0

Well been runnin 2.0 for a couple of hours very nicely, fast and smooth. I must say that you guys are WAY better at coding then graphics....lmao
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Dude you need to email me that picture or gtalk it to me so I can include that in biffmod wallpapers.

Yes they are I just saw that also thanks I will fix it.

Your welcome, yeah one of the testers brought up that we should have a Mt3G version (he wanted it for his wife) with the only difference being dalvic-cache cause the mt3g has a bigger internal memory so it doesnt need to move dalvic over. Glad you like it.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Thanks I guess. lol!!!! no but truly thanks.
[G1 Android Development] k7k0:
Apps2sd script is showing some errors:

There's room on the ext partition. Any clue?
[G1 Android Development] fanbogo:

[G1 Android Development] revolution48:
heyo

Well i seem to have a little problem with BiffMod 2.0 every time i play Speed X in the middle of the game it F***'s up with graphical glitches then i ran a logcat http://pastebin.com/RWzW8d5g and it says

API E/libEGL ( 1021): called unimplemented OpenGL ES API

Thanks for the very smooth running rom BTW
[G1 Android Development] Markus214:
Review of 2.0

Great ROM very fast using ADW (personal preference)

Scrolling is amazing letting battery die all the way down than going to charge it all the way up

Shadowch install helped big time for me

Using MT3G 1.2

Anyone else have this weird thing happening to them?

Every FROYO ROM i use no matter where i am the signal will drop for a second maybe longer than come back. If im in great 3g coverage it will show 3g than the bars will go away for a second than come back. Just thought this was weird and wondered if anyone else had anything like this
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Made one other..I will send

:cool:
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
They look awesome. thanks. PM me if you need my gmail.
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Can you do animations too? :)
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Also I think we found our new Default Wallpaper, if you dont mind. I love the one with the airplane. Thats golden by my book, so if its ok with you I might change that to our new default wallpaper.
[G1 Android Development] Chapsticky:
Finally,

Got this thing running using the Shadow instructions, now lets see what this bad boy can do for this rusty old G1
[G1 Android Development] phil0sophic:
Signal drop

Yeah, I seem to see this as well using 2G (edge) as where I live and work have very marginal 3G. I keep the phone in 2G for those reasons and every once in a while I catch it dropping...
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
I have not messed with animations yet. I'm sure I could if I tried. just Photoshop, mainly.

I really just make these for my own amusement but, I would be honored. :)

**Edit: Sent.
[G1 Android Development] XxKOLOHExX:
Thanks, and yeah :D
[G1 Android Development] Spakainz:
Nice ROM, but anybody know how to fix dialer lag???? When I launch contacts it apears about after one or two seconds...It very annoying. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] BenDiesel:
it wont make it past the g1 screen for me...anyone else having this problem? ive waited a total of 30 minutes and still nothing. i can still boot into recovery....i did as the instructions called for for wiping everything still wont load past g1 screen.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
You can do a search in the G1 forums for Shadows.sh renice script, and move that to system/bin and then restart. Then in terminal run

su <enter>

shadow.sh <enter>

Thing is if you loose signal then the renice script goes away so you have to run it again. But Call lag is what we are working on in 2.1.
[G1 Android Development] lackonne:
ussualy i use this port http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/ but don't work on this rom, someone can help me find a 32a port for this rom? thanks
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Just a thought...

I don't know if this helps anyone having issues or not but, figured it's worth a shot...

The way I installed BiffMod v2.0 - instead of repairing ext partition, I backed up my SD Card to my PC then in Amon RA recovery, I did a full wipe both with the wipe.zip then with the recovery menu. Then, I partitioned the SD Card to 100% FAT32, then re-Parted to 96MB swap + 1024MB ext...then upgrade ext2 to ext3...then ext3 to ext4. Then I copied ONLY Biffmodv2.0 + BiffMod Gapps to the SD and flashed each as instructed. Once I logged in with my gmail, I then connected my USB cable and restored all my other files from the backup i had made.

I have not had any issues with this ROM since I flashed it at 4AM yesterday morning. it was a bit sluggish at first but, now, it's very smooth with no hiccups.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
You might want to contact one of those guys who got it working on a 32a and see how they did it and what they used. Just PM them I dont think they will mind. lol, Also I got a call in right now to a friend who does a lot of work for the 32A port and I am hoping he will port it over so it will be an easy install for you 32a Users.
[G1 Android Development] hellokidbye:
This is what I did also, and it's been smooth sailing so far. It might seem a bit tedious but this was the only way I (personally) got it to work.
[G1 Android Development] BoomBoomPOW:
Google Voice & Lock Messaging App Settings

I never use the stock messaging app since I only use Google Voice to handle my messages. Under the CM Settings>Performance, there's "Lock messaging app in memory" feature. My question is, will this lock the stock messaging app or Google Voice? If it does not, how can I enable it to lock Google Voice into memory?

Appreciate the work.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
That is always checked in all builds and any build we just included the actual check box in CM Settings just another nice little feature we offered. I am same as you I use google voice, I havent found a way to lock it into memory. sorry.
[G1 Android Development] NLJ:
Can you post output of df -h (run it throu adb shell or terminal on the phone)?
[G1 Android Development] mekkelrichards:
Is it normal for the ROM to be syncing in the notification bar for over an hour and the phone to be very sluggish? I installed with the alternate method.
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Yes. My 1st sync failed. I had to disable and re-enable it. Was fine after that.
[G1 Android Development] lackonne:
Finally this rom work on my 32a magic.

1. flash the Biffmod v1.9

2. flash 32a port

3. reboot - should running normaly

4. reboot to recovery

5. flash Biffmod v2.0

6. flash 32a port
[G1 Android Development] Gisiej:
Tried the rom for a while, Having some small problems with the screen, Looks fuzzy and cant reed tekst normaly (Pure calendar), enabled dittering didnt help,

Also when i transfer my apps to my sd, al my widgets are gone in the widget menu. So had to reinstall them.

Also the rom sometimes is realy fast and the other second its realy choppy.

Installed with a full system wipe and amon'ra wipe. Did the fix permissions.

Have and sd card with swap 96 mb. ext 4 512

Realy see potential in this rom :D it amazes me how fast it is!
[G1 Android Development] Chaosmstr:
This rom is awesome. I did notice that you also fixed the issue that I had with that streaming audio app... Just outta curiosity, what did ya change to make it work?

This ver seems so much faster and stable. Fingers crossed that it stays that way!

Original mt3g

8 gig sd

Biffmod ver 2.0
[G1 Android Development] LuckyJ26:
After going through a full day use with this rom, I still can't believe how fast this rom is. It doesn't even feel like my old G1 anymore. I haven't had any force close nor any random reboots. This rom totally lives up to all the hype is was getting; however, the only problem I find with this rom is the battery life. The battery doesn't last me very long for some reason. From my experience, 1.8 gave me better battery life than this.
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
for me wasn`t last resort but still didn`t get it :)

btw: update-cm on my phone did not ever finish booting.
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
I dunno about you but, the way I see this is, You're not supposed to boot "update-cm". you are just supposed to flash it and then flash BiffModv2 on top of it. Then you boot.

I could be wrong but, that;s how it looks to me.
[G1 Android Development] Chaosmstr:
Now, there are lots of people I would watch for a whole day if they did nothing but.. flash me. You on the other hand....

:p
[G1 Android Development] slim00:
