I love you biffmod!! :)
[G1 Android Development] ratchet789:
We're getting to the point were we can say it where no one runs away.
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
you must change your car. there`s some bad karma for sure :)

really now, the other device is tested with another phone ?
[G1 Android Development] phil0sophic:
Which one did you flash?
[G1 Android Development] ratchet789:
whats the best OC kernal 614 or 633 for this rom.
[G1 Android Development] Firestrikers:
Can any one explain what is stored on the EXT4 and the swap partition, swap is used for swapfiles right and ext4 ? what's stored there?
[G1 Android Development] ERamseth:
After a while of running this ROM, I get the message that Google Framework Services has force closed. After that every app I open FCs and I can't do anything. When I try terminal emulator and try "su" it says access denied. After a reboot, everything is working as expected sometimes, but other times it'll boot all the way back to the home screen then reboot again.

I have DangerSPL, no MTD hack, wiped from fastboot, recovery is amon RA 1.7.0, I am running on a G1/Dream but flashed the Mt3g edition because I wanted my dalvik cache on the internal memory. I use apps2sd and compcache at 25%.

Is no one else having this problem? (or has anyone even heard of anyone having this problem?) If not, I'm thinking it might be a hardware problem, in which case it might be time for the move to a new phone (although I really wanna stay on the G1).

Please please please any help is appreciated.

UPDATE: Swapped out my after market Seidio extended battery back to the stock battery. So far so good. Could irregular battery performance have caused these problems? Dunno, but I wasn't really having the same problems on CM6.

Does BiffMod have a kernel that does things with battery/voltage/overclock/underclock that CM6 doesn't do and possibly could have stressed the battery more? (not to damage it, but that would have made any existing weaknesses or irregularities more pronounced and problem-causing)

PLEASE NOTE: I'm 100% not saying BiffMod or any kernel hurt my battery... I've suspected this battery may have problems for some time now...

Oh and PS, BiffMod is great. Very cool stuff.

Google Framework FC

I am getting the same problem on my Mytouch starting around 2 weeks after flashing this ROM except I don’t get all the Fcs, just the original Google framework services FC. I read this thread and tried what it suggested:

1. Go into settings

2. Select Applications

3. Select Manage Applications

4. (If you are on 2.2) Select the All tab

5. Scroll down until you find Contacts Storage (select it).

6. Wipe data+clear cache(If available)

7. Hit back

8. Scroll down until you find Google Services Framework (select it)

9. Wipe data+clear cache (if available)

10. Enjoy

I haven’t had this FC in around 3 days. Not sure why it’s happening but this seems to fix at least my issue.
[G1 Android Development] feckweed405:
Oh, and one thing on deleting the contacts cache. If you use Google contacts they should be backed up and you can restore them with a sync. If you don’t use Google contacts for some reason make sure they are backed up before deleting them.
[G1 Android Development] ratchet789:
one thing i do not recommend do not unmount the SD card from the phone had to flash cm again just to be able to use my phone. time to flash biffmod again.
[G1 Android Development] ERamseth:
Thanks I'll give it a shot, even though I'm now fairly certain my problem was a bad battery... clearing out these caches sure can't hurt as long as contacts are backed up.
[G1 Android Development] ERamseth:
Depending on which version you flashed, the installed apk files, their settings, their resources (MT3G version) and optionally the davlik-cache (Dream/G1 version) will be on the ext4 partition of the sdcard.

Swap is generically/roughly equivalent to virtual memory or paging files on Windows (at least as far as what it does, probably not at all how it does it).
[G1 Android Development] Inceptron:
Installed a few apps and I had some hangs then I rebooted and it froze on the home screen. Then battery pulled and reflashed. Phone and acore kept FC'ing. I took out the sd card and it worked?

Does the ext4 partition get used even if I don't move any apps to sd? and My bad I should of done some reading first. (It always goes to SD).

Does the swap get used if I uncheck it in CM settings?
[G1 Android Development] TL@:
I've had this with the Skoda BT module (not so much, but from time to time), with the Renault BT module (no link at all) with the Peugeot BT module (disconnects after 1 hour) and with the Ford BT module (hard to connect but when connected no problems anymore)

In the Skoda I tested it with a SE X1 and a Samsung E710, no problems at all. The other cars I didn't have long enough to test with an other phone (will try it in the Peugeot 407 later, that's my current car)

The stock Froyo one.
[G1 Android Development] magicdroid:
Known issue.. had it on CM5.0.8 and CM6.0.0 too.. turning off and back on fixes it for me as a temp workaround but it is in fact annoying as hell if you spend some time in a car.. and even more so if it drops during a call! (Audi MMI BT interface)

Check the issue in CM tracker: many people have same issue.

First I thought it was CM, but even HTC's Official 2.1 Sense has the same problem. However, I must say it occurs less with TMO's 2.2.1 OTA update tho.

Will try the fix you posted, thanks for that!
[G1 Android Development] ERamseth:
Definitely haven't encountered this problem since I swapped back to the stock battery. Seidio may be getting a call from me.

I was gonna delete the post but I'll leave it here in case anyone else hits this odd, seemingly battery related issue.
[G1 Android Development] Wotornot:
Wanted to say thanks for all the work on this and the overly informative how-to. I went from a jf rom my bud put onto my phone a year and a half to go directly to Biffmod 2.0.1. Good lawdy...its ridiculous my phone's 2nd wind is better than its first. I'm loving froyo on this phone. With the ext partition my g1 no longer is a slug. So thanks again for the work (collectively/individually/in general.) This xda forum is too nice, I'm waiting for the fatal flaw...lol. Now onto a smooth minimalist theme...
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
:oWe Love you guys back, Thanks for the support.;)

You could always try it and let us know how it worked out.

If you uncheck Swap, Swap should not be used then. By default Swap is on but just uncheck and your good to go. Then of course you can choose a CC if you want.

In general XDA is awesome, every once and a while you get some "Internet Tough Guy" but as Mod's we deal with them right away. and in this thread My Team and I and I guess others have tried to keep it on topic and to the point. Which I believe we have. Everything I have seen has been about Biffmod either questions or helping people out. I believe and this is just me that the BiffMod users are the nicest and well rounded G1 users around. :D You Guys All Rock!!! :cool:

Thanks for enjoying the rom and the great feedback. Glad you like it so much. Thats exactly the kind of responses we like hearing. thanks again

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NEWS UPDATE!!!

Ok we are working are butts off to get BiffMod V2.1 released to you guys, we have changed a lot of stuff. We are testing out a Test Build right now, so far awesome. We have added a lot of cool new CMpart features that you can not find anywhere else but here. Remember BiffMod is Plain Froyo except things that will make it run better, faster, and more stable. So that is what we are working on for V2.1

Next one of my friends on Twitter just gave me 3 New Themes that she build for BiffMod 2.0.1 and I will tell you they are the best Themes I have seen, I will post them tomorrow afternoon, when I get a chance.

Last I got the battery no flash wipe completed so I will post that also tomorrow. Sorry for the delay, on that got a little tied up with family stuff.

Hope everybody has a great weekend. Enjoy.

Thanks again for all the support!!!!
[G1 Android Development] ratchet789:
cant wait this is going to be epic. so were going to have to do a full wipe for this update right?

and thanks for making sure a great rom biff team you guys rock.

is it possible to get the flash V1.9 file posted on page 1 couldn't find it when looked.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
You ask you shall receive I will post that also tomorrow.
[G1 Android Development] ratchet789:
thanks for posting it im sure other have looked for it as well for all your hard work.
[G1 Android Development] R3N0V4D0:
beta testers??? :))
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
There are 14 beta testers, some of which are devs who are great contributors to the rom. I'm kind of a newbie, but I do test. I don't think RoyalKnight is accepting any new beta testers unless they're developers that can do more to help. I was lucky to be one of the first 5.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Oh no good sir... thank YOU for the greatness that is Biffmod. I really love that this doesn't come with any of the bloatware that everyone else includes.

Will this new version also include the new stuff that Cyan & Co have incorporated from the T-Mo 2.2 OTA? And what are your thoughts on the new radio & spl that's coming with the OTA... will those be needed?
[G1 Android Development] Scorpia:
Is it just me or does changing the LED notifications, especially missed call not screw up the G1 and force restarts? I've had to hard reset 3 times (soon to be the 4th) because of it. Kinda given up with changing the LED notifications now finally, at least with this ROM. Getting very annoying.

This ROM has really been sweet though. It's actually the first one I've had on the phone, since the starting stock Donut, so I don't have much to compare it to. :)
[G1 Android Development] ratchet789:
ive tired on my phone to get em to work but never does. and each time i tried my phone never crashed
[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
Can't wait until 2.1 comes out. Used to use 2.0.1 and loved it, but I like the stability of the 2.2.1 AOSP ROM. Hopefully the 2.1 update will have the T-Mobile OTA in it.
[G1 Android Development] ratchet789:
me too. how does the rooted stock 2.2.1 work out cuz i was thinking on the my sister 32b mytouch?
[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
Well, I never really cared for Froyo ROMs, until I tried out the rooted stock 2.2.1. They always seemed to run slow for me, but this one isn't slow at all. I just wish there were themes for it. Stock android is boring looking, in my opinion.

The themes for this ROM is one of the reasons why I like BiffMod the most.
[G1 Android Development] XxKOLOHExX:
It will :D
[G1 Android Development] ratchet789:
ive flashed themes with biffmod and liked it but always changed it few hours later cant wait to see new themes for it. does 2.2.1 have wired tether thats the whole reason i rooted my sisters phone was for tethering.
[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
Nice! :D

I think so. But I've never used it, so I'm not sure if it works, or if it's what you're talking about.
[G1 Android Development] ratchet789:
i find out here in abit ill flash it my self. but ill know for sure when i manually push froyo to my moms phone.

how long have you had biffmod on your phone or have used biffmod
[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
I haven't had BiffMod on my phone for a couple weeks, and I only used it for about 3-4 days. I would've used it longer, but for some reason my nandroid wasn't working right, and I lost all my data on my saved BiffMod ROM, while I was testing another one out. So I just switched to SuperE until the stock 2.2.1 came out.
[G1 Android Development] ratchet789:
i had that issue few times my sd card wasn't set up right i burned out my 8gig sd card that way now im using a 4gig i had laying around that was blank. ive used biff mod for about a month soon i like it more stable then cm6 but thats what i think.
[G1 Android Development] biglo:
Good to know that's for sure, thanks for the hard work guys. Can't wait for the battery flash file :)
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Can't wait!

That's awesome! Hope it's soon. All these "other" FroYo's suck!! BiffMOD = WIN!!! :D
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
I know sorry I was going to post it yesterday but I got extremely busy sorry. Hoping to get it posted today with 3 new themes.

Thanks Bookcase.
[G1 Android Development] ratchet789:
Don't forget the flash v1.9 file so we can change themes.
[G1 Android Development] bambi23:
If you are using v2.0 or 2.0.1, then you dont really need v1.9 to change themes. all you need to do is to go back to 2.0 or 2.0.1 (whichever u are currently using) then flash the new theme! :)

With the news of 2.1 and all the new themes coming out, its hard to believe this rom can get any better!! thank you royalknight and your team. Take your time with everything, cos family always comes first!!
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
BTW anyone using my test kernel, updated kernels [ebi0/ebi1] are at http://goo.gl/JXjF

(including an extra MB of actual ram for you HTC Dream users running 2.22.* radios.. not that this patch isn't in recent CM nightlys and pershoot kernels now as well)
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Awesome!

Good to know. Thanx! :D
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
This rom is over a month old now, I can't believe it's managed to stay on the front page and that people are still discussing the rom.
[G1 Android Development] bambi23:
its a sign of awesomeness :D
[G1 Android Development] ratchet789:
In the time of darkness man knew nothing of what his phone could do then in the darkness came a light known as biffmod.

Thanks everyone for making a great rom brings new life to the g1's and magic's (32b) keep making the best job out there even better.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
I agree, Thanks All who help keep this on the front page and keep the Rom going. 2.1 will be coming soon.

That is awesome. Thanks.

Ok I posted all the new themes made by sisterchick (Twitter Profile) go tell her thank you and how much you lover her themes when you get a chance, these things rock. They are posted in the OP along with pics of each one. Enjoy. I will also post the new battery icon tonight, Sorry life has been crazy with my son lately. Enjoy the new themes. Also 1.9 is posted in the 2nd post scroll down you will see it. Thanks again for all the support.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Awesome! Flashed it last night... loving the extra speed boost. I consistently average 4 mflops with Linpack.

Edit: Had 2 two random reboots this morning... first time the phone was just sitting on my desk with the screen off, second I was starting the xda app. I scaled it down to 595mhz again, like I had on the previous test kernel. I found on CE that 614 mhz was just slightly unstable on the MT3G... seems to still be so.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
No worries... family comes first. We're a patient lot.
[G1 Android Development] ratchet789:
has anyone flash any of the new themes and which one do you like the best of em?
[G1 Android Development] ratchet789:
One issue I've seen was my signal won't go past two bars of 3g where I normally get 3 or 4 with the new green theme great theme by the way.
[G1 Android Development] Firestrikers:
I love this rom, best I had! Only ****ty problem is wifi not working with market! Is there a fix for this?
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Yes disable cell network data when you enable wifi.. see your power control widget for details.. if you are still having issues wipe markets data in application settings.

The market tries to force a connection to a hipri apn.. this slows things down since carrier data needs to be enabled even if the real payload will be requested over wifi. If data is disabled but wifi enabled it will do the right thing.
[G1 Android Development] ratchet789:
memory usage is great

This rom saves me alot of memory the app i have installed on my phone memory is:

Angry birds-14.13 mb

App installer-390 kb

batterylife widget-120 kb

facebook- 3.24 mb

Hi Yahoo- 0.98 mb

Laputa book reader- 1.45 mb

Launcher pro- 3.48 mb

i love seeing my memory at this level day after day it never lowers even after downloading huge apps and nothing biff mod is the best memory saver for mytouch 32b loviung this rom even more.
[G1 Android Development] burritoboy9984:
Weird problem I just experienced. I loaded the rom, added the black theme, was using it for a day or so with no issues. I figured I would reset the battery stats to make the meter correct, so I cranked the brightness and set the screen timeout to 30 minutes. About 5 minutes later, I looked down and the phone was off. I thought that was kind of fast to kill the battery. So I tried turning it back on. When I did, it took a long time to load (I let it finish of course), so I knew something wasn't right. When it finally got powered back on, the wallpaper I had set, the settings I had changed in the options were reset, and all my personal info (contacts, text messages, calendar, etc...) were gone (like it had reflashed the rom), but the weird thing was my account info was still there, and it started syncing (which brought back my contacts and calendar).

My question is, has anyone ever experienced anything like this, and does anyone have any idea why this happened or what caused it?

Thanks in advance!

-Erik

Edit: BTW, love the rom, up until the other day, I had been using CM6, and I am still very happy to have made the switch :)

Edit2: Ok, also, it seems my dial and home buttons don't want to work correctly now either. Does that help in the diagnosis? If no ideas, I will probably just try wiping everything again tomorrow and starting fresh.
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
I'd say wipe and reflash. My only theory is you overheated it??
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Isn't this rom running android 2.2 still? Android 2.2.1 is out now
[G1 Android Development] burritoboy9984:
Probably a good guess. Regardless, I went ahead and wiped and flashed, and all seems well with the world again :)

Thanks again to everyone involved!

-Erik
[G1 Android Development] biglo:
Yeah the 2.1 update that will be coming out soon will be based on 2.2.1 so we will get it soon enough. I rather them take their time and work on it to get nice, so they wont have to post a lot fix updates.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Thanks Biglo for your support. Yes we are coming to the end of testing version 2.1/2.2.1 whichever we decided to call it, lol :D I will tell you it holds true to the BiffMod History. Be ready to be blown away again. "The G1 will Rise Again" :cool:
[G1 Android Development] boostedeg:
Good stuff can't wait. Wanted to say thanx to you and your team for all the hard work.
[G1 Android Development] bambi23:
Just out of curiosity, is v2.1/2.2.1/new one gonna be based on the released t-mobile aosp?
[G1 Android Development] zerodi:
No bro , im not - should i be ?
[G1 Android Development] mahd-leb:
i just falshed 1.4 as well and i keep getting the keyboard forceclose i cant get it to stop i flashed and wiped many times any idea why

!!!! could it be that i am flashing 1.4 for the first without having 1.3 before ? and also apps2ext is not working for me !! how can get it to work !! i a m intersted in tyring this rom
[G1 Android Development] infinitybiff:
It shouldn't matter. Was just checking. Care to pastebin your logcat. I'm using the ROM myself and haven't had a single FC yet.
[G1 Android Development] infinitybiff:
Apps2ext DOES work. It doesn't work the way it did on Eclair. You have to follow the directions in the OP to a T. You can do a fresh install of 1.4 with no problem as its a full rom. The only way to know that it is working is to check internal storage free space before you do that first reboot mentioned in the post setup instructions. It should go from 15mb to 59-73mb free. You can also check to see if data or files has been placed on the ext partition on your sd card. I PROMISE it works. Like I said , I'm using my own ROM for a few hours before I release to ensure its as stable as possible. I've had ZERO issues with 1.4 :)
[G1 Android Development] mahd-leb:
alright i will give that a try thank you. what about the forceclose issue with the keyboard it keeps force closing every 2 sec i cant use the rom because of the fc how do i fix that
[G1 Android Development] infinitybiff:
I'm not having that problem myself. Going to settings > keyboard > and unchecking and rechecking "android keyboard" seemed to work for the fella above who's having a similar problem..

[G1 Android Development] infinitybiff:
Thanks for the heads up :)
[G1 Android Development] mahd-leb:
i cant uncheck and check the android keyboard becuase i only have one keyboard installed and :S and i cant install another one because i cant type anything!!
[G1 Android Development] infinitybiff:
can you get me a logcat of what is happening? (pastebin would be best)
[G1 Android Development] mahd-leb:
i got it to work i usually install the rom without gapps and set it up then install gapps i never had probs but i guess with this rom it doesnt work that way thanks for the help
[G1 Android Development] infinitybiff:
Glad you got it working :)
[G1 Android Development] hazeleyes:
hey, not sure what I am doing wrong, pretty simple stuff, but do not see your rom download on the website provided?
[G1 Android Development] hazeleyes:
ok, never mind, figured it out.
[G1 Android Development] dino1394:
i just watched the video of this rom and looks really fast....BUT...if im running with out a2sd and swap will it still be as fast or something similar to that speed?

EDIT

ok i flashed and followed the instructions but when i reboot i get at the boot animation and it sits there forever till i reboot using call menu end then it boots up fine till the next time the i have to reboot for something and looks like adw isnt there
[G1 Android Development] DroidDavi:
im having a issue a few times a day when i try to send a sms (im using the stock sms app) my phone just off and reboots
[G1 Android Development] DrLfresh81:
cant find the download link:o
[G1 Android Development] infinitybiff:
The download link is in the OP in bright green letters..... lol.

http://fromhindsight.com/?page_id=45
[G1 Android Development] phiredrop:
Just as an FYI,

When flashing 1.4 from scratch (not updating rom 1.3, etc), the defaults were as follows:

- Default CM6 wallpaper (not the Biffmod wallpaper)

- Stock Launcher2 (not ADW)

- Homescreen would reset to default widgets/layout after a reboot (could have something to do with Launcher2)

- A "reboot" from power menu would result in a hang during the new CM boot screen, though a "power off" and back on would start up quite fast.

Perhaps these issues would simply be avoided if 1.4 is strictly an update to previous releases? Didn't test it out myself..

Keep up the good work Biff!
[G1 Android Development] domex2k:
:D damm with the new Nightlies 8/10/2010 versions there is no more loading screens with ADW launcher, when i press the home button, Also i disable

Animated Drawer and Fade app labels

and checked system persistent and it works just as fast as the stock launcher.

Also i have Compcache, JIT and lock home in memory enabled, VM heap size 32mb and i disable Dith
[G1 Android Development] mercenaryhmster:
i had that happen a while ago when i used apps2ext. i wiped, nuked the ext partition, and haven't had the problem since.
