Too early to say...work on Gingerbread is in the early stages. Who knows where that will go and where it will take BiffMod.
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Please, don't let this be the end. I will help in any way I can. I love Biffmod and would hate to see it die.

I'm here if you guys need me ;)
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
I talked to a few guys and I might come back to update to CM 6.1 but it wont be till after holidays got way to much on my plate right now. But I am pretty sure it will be the Final build unless somebody else decides to take it over. Be looking for it.

I am downloading all the files I need right now. I hate to see the best G1 Rom die, But its going to happen. Sorry to say it but Newer and Better devices come out and Devs move on to those devices. But I will try to make this last build even be better and make it last for you Hard Core G1 users.
[G1 Android Development] takumi2k4:
Really glad to hear that man, coz as of right now I still can't pick between the G2 or the MyTouch 4G, and with CES around the corner in which T-Mo might announce that new dual core LG Optimus 2X, I'm really torn on whether I should pick one of them babies up or just wait after CES.

Either way, I'm looking forward to the next edition be it FroYo or Gingerbread, as long as the speed and stability remain the same or even go faster as the current version, I'll be running Biffmod until my G1 dies. Thanks for the hard work guys!
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Awesome! I appreciate all of your dedication and hard work on this. Did I see a Biffmod ROM being developed on another phone or is that my imagination?

My feelings, exactly. Right now T-Mobile is offering me the G2 for $74.99 - the MyTouch 4G is about $100. I know the 4G has 16GB Internal memory whereas the G2 has only 4GB but the G2 has a keyboard......decisions...dual core sounds like a wet dream come true, maybe. :confused:

[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
That's a F'd up bunch of things to say dude.

Just because most folks don't see the world in "Matrix Vision" code like you do, doesn't mean we're all a bunch of morons. I do tech support in my free time and have never once been to school for it and have never used "flash cards".

I understand that you have an extremely solid grasp on the inner workings of things here, but your next priority should really be to work on installing that brain to mouth/keyboard filter.

I've pretty much lost all respect for you with that crappy attitude of superiority you constantly throw around.

Speed or Functions

Do i need to have a Ext partition? I've got a magic 32b, so usually enough space. But i read somewhere that without the ext-partition i would be slower... :O

but i got another question: will future biffmod's main purpose be to get more functions, or is it going to be made to be more faster?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
put it into context, they clearly did a 'little' research

I 'challenged' them into researching customMTD to gain more space on data

they missed that, and alleged that I miss understood, which I didn't.. they did

the comment on tech support was to make clear I had no interest in being 'tech support'

it was a retort to their sarcasm, imo justified.

but if you feel better now, that is fine with me
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Alas, after rereading your quoted text, I still fail to see their sarcasm that required your harsh put down of an entire field.

That being said, yeah, I do feel better, thanks. (Not that either one of us actually gives a rats ass about the others opinion... so, lets just move on.)

Constant Reboots

Anyone else experiencing constant reboots after 2.1? My phone reboots about 4 or 5 times a day and sometimes can't boot up successfully with out being connected to USB. If this is not common then I could post some logs. I just need to be directed to where the instructions are to do this. I'm going to try using the F-Test ROM and see if I have similar problems.

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Honestly Firerat I think you'd be a lot of help to the community if you continue development for your magpie rom :) (not that your not already a lot of help just saying)
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
but the majority of the community consists of

moron whiners

morons who can't search

morons that write poor guides

morons that try to help but just reiterate crap from poor 'guides'

morons who post about problems that don't exist

self-righteous morons

why should I do anything for it?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Well buddy you have to ask yourself that question, because your the only one that can answer that. Believe me I'm asked myself that question many of times

For me it's mostly that I'm making roms for myself, and figured why not just upload and share, but your right, it does come with a lot of non-sense

Those that have great power take on more responsibility. or at least they should (not to sound self-righteous ;))
[G1 Android Development] ryknight:
Actually, morons are only the vocal minority, like in any system. I think the majority of the community is silently appreciative of the hard work devs do. We should show our appreciation more, at least with a kind word; I suspect most of us don't because we see all the posts made by those listed above and don't want to add to the general noise level.

I'll say it now, though: The only reason I updated to CM 6.1 was because of Magpie, and I'm thrilled to have my G1 working well enough to make the wait for a new phone/contract bearable. You still don't owe us anything, but we're grateful for all you do.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
I hope your right, for the sake of the Human race :)

Magpie was born of 10-15 threads on CM Forums, whining about no a2sdext in 6.1

I had no java when I started

luckily the most of 'base' was c ( not that I had much c , but felt more comfortable with it ) and only needed minor adjustment from that which was in CM5

Getting all the other bits going was/is fun, so much so that I want to do more.

I should have another round at Magpie soon, did a little last night and squashed some bugs

want to get paid apps moving, then will do another 'release'.

I think NameLessJedi was going to take a look at sd-ext mount detection ( or even have sd-ext mount 'built in' so we don't need the script )

we also need some of the more cosmetic features, like listing apps on sd-ext, and available space on sd-ext.

I did have a quick look at Ezterry's GingerBread, should be able to put Magpie into that with little trouble.

In fact I may start looking at doing that now, as it will probably help having a fresh perspective on the code.

One thing I'm looking forward to with the GingerBread is the Manage Applications has a nice available space graphic at the bottom, would be nice to include sd-ext.
[G1 Android Development] NLJ:
I've spend yesterday looking at this and I belive this is not possible without major changes to Vold. I might get code wrong but Vold is so stupid that it can only mount one partition per sdcard/volume (and you are free to choose which partition but that's all). Oh, and it does only know FAT filesystems.

Also vold mounts partition on request from MountService and this happens after BOOT_COMPLETED is broadcasted. This is not major roadblock wrt apps2sd but will disable things like data on sd-ext (note that with magpie dalvik-cache for /sd-ext/ apps is already on /sd-ext and moving/binding /data/dalvik-cache to /sd-ext/dalvik-cache might cause problems).

I didn't yet lost hope with vold and sd-ext just don't hold your breath =o)

Come on! Join the BiffMod task force ;o)
[G1 Android Development] xdjneo:
Sorry I was away for the holidays

Good to hear that their might be one last update to keep biffmod alive, since it would be a shame to see it go away.

I was away for the holidays but back now and offering to help in any productive way i.e. testing

Times like these I wish I was good with github myself so I could be a little more useful
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
I read somewhere that spaksco was leaving the G1 community and moving on but, i have to say, I flashed his SparksMod-1.6.1-DS-Full Radio's 2.22.28.25/27.08-[32b] ROM last night and it is nice. Very fast, and very "Plain". Reminds me a lot of Biffmod. I bet if he got in on this, he'd really get things moving. I wonder if he would. ;)
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Well there's another update which is faster, and sorry but sparksco won't ever join biffmod.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
well, he has github now

Happy new year to All

what the hell is that, biffmod getting off of the page. come on DEVs, come on shadow, people have started roaming around, you gotta do some quick fixes to make fun anew, waiting
[G1 Android Development] jpzzle:
biffmod is dead my friend.. :D there are too many competitions and way updated Roms that have the 2 S's = Stability+speed. ;) I will not speak against the the B-Squad in their thread as it is disrespectful to do so, but you know which one I'm referring to .
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
You are wrong. Biffmod is NOT dead, just a bit delayed. like Heinz ketchup, "The best things in life are worth waiting for." You remember that when BM2.3 (or whatever the next version number will be) hits the streets!!

:cool:
[G1 Android Development] jpzzle:
ahahaha Like the heinz ketchup portrayal example. when/if it comes believe mate, I'll probably be the first to try.

:cool:
[G1 Android Development] chrisg1:
How is it possible to change Launcher2 with Zeam?

Just copy zeam to /system/apps and rename it to Launcher2?

Or should there be another way.

Try to use Homeswitcher for Froyo, but there is no Default-Button, just launch.

Thx in advanced

Chris
[G1 Android Development] HawkiesZA:
You can remove the stock launcher by running the script in the Terminal Emulator. Type "remove_launcher stock" (without the quotes obviously) in the Terminal Emulator AFTER installing another home replacement.

As for there being other ROMs that offer that which BiffMod has excelled at (stability and speed and just sheer awesomeness), I haven't found one yet. No ROM has been as stable or as fast on my Dream. I'll keep using BiffMod until I upgrade.
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Try supersparks 1.6.3 then and tell me if you feel the same you've tried it
[G1 Android Development] Virgilus:
Wow!!

Didn't know about Zeam until now, and i'm loving it.

Make my Plain Biff Dream flying higher :D
[G1 Android Development] blackvyper:
Tried it, hated it, came back to Biffmod.. glad I did. Everything runs much smoother now :)
[G1 Android Development] jpzzle:
Not a debate on what you judge awesome and stable on your dream mate. As a matter of fact, I'm glad it's stable and speedy for you. Next time you want to reply to a comment because someone hurt your little feelings so far as your favorite rom is concerned, do it directly and not indirectly generalizing as if you don't know who it is adressed to. FYI I wished it was as stable and speedy on mine. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] API182:
Just a suggestion then, have you tried the ' Froyo 2.2.1 for T-Mobile G1 " Froyo for Trout! " F4T1.6 ' I just went from this BiffMod ROM to the Froyo for Trout rom and I am ridiculously impressed with their speed and stability as opposed to BiffMod...

Just a thought anyway...
[G1 Android Development] jpzzle:
No I haven't tried it yet, it may be the only froyo I haven't tried. As of now, I've been on 'Super'sparksmod 1.6.3 and it's made me realize Biffmod 'was' ok. You should also try it it's blazing mate and my daily now as well. But I'll give yours a try since it's what we're here for anyways. Thanks for your input.

If you actually read up and followed how it started I PLAIN-FULLY MENTIONED to the guy up a couple of posts that "I WOULDN'T talk about any other rom in this THREAD as it's "DISRESPECTFUL" . Now mate check facts,follow and make an accurate assertion before jumping to conclusions and sounding like a penguin.

Do Not reply to this because I'm not here on a debate team. Anyone here gives input and reactions to specific things> Fall back.

[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
LOL on the changelog for 2.2 there should be "Fixed misspelling of "Plane"".

Unless there's a joke/pun/play-on-words that i'm missing here.

Love the rom; please post what swap/compcache you use and other important memory usage settings.
[G1 Android Development] ibraheeemz:
do you really think it was the reason that I posted? I got it done what I wanted, I know nothing more than biffmod or cm6.1 and a little version of firerate (Magpie) for the time being. there is no need look any further.
[G1 Android Development] takumi2k4:
Me personally I've got 128mb swap and JIT on. Though I'm pretty sure having 128mb swap is overkill. I'm just too lazy to reformat my SD card and since it works really well anyway, I've left it... been running it for almost 2 months now and there's really no issues. Also, here's tsheeley's post with some stuff that I'm using myself: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8511462&postcount=1976

And I just gotta chime in, but personally Biffmod is the best FroYo rom I've ever used. I've been testing CM6.1-2708 port, Magpie, Sparks, FroYo for Trout, and any other FroYo rom but Biffmod still takes the cake. I've been running Sparks 1.6.2 for 2 days now, but I just BARTed an hour ago to Biffmod since GMaps rebooted my phone when I tried to check the traffic. -___-

So devs, don't let the haters bring you down! Looking forward to Biffmod 2.2!!
[G1 Android Development] jpzzle:
"see no evil, hear no evil"

cheers.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Well I guess I missed the whole start of something ugly. Agreed that we should not promote roms here on this thread, but at the same time Biffmod said they were done with development. Also Others are promoting stuff on SparksMod thread that I would like to stop immediately, (not saying any names). I will say who it's not directed towards, Firerat. Now that that's cleared up let's all go on with our lives like normal, whatever normal is for all you xda people :D If you have a script you want to share with people and you are part of the Biffmod team you should be promoting the script here or start a new thread for it. We simply just don't have any use for a 32mb CC script that does the same thing the rom does on first boot. Unless of course you change it and want to go back to some other not as good type of settings
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
Actually, it was Shadow who said *he* was done with biffmod

Anyway, thanks to your mate blahbl4hblah, you know that you need to fix your firstboot.sh with regards to the renice and remove the redundant a2sd option.

oh , and all that junk your doing in /data/data assumes they flashed no wipe

it will do nothing otherwise as data/data doesn't get populated until after firstboot.sh has run

if you hunt around you can find scripts I did ages ago that will help you with that

( will be deep in in the CE thread )
[G1 Android Development] jpzzle:
;) thing is There is always someone who will profess that one ROM is like another, they did the same on SuperD to Ben when another delinquent(Not directed at someone in particular) compared it to (I forgot you can just reads there) but nonetheless, every ROM is taken from a source/another ROM as a base, but it doesn't make that ROM, for instance "SuperE added with a few...." we know the rest. In other words we can all say "there can be only one" "ROM". ahaha But really who cares. ROM love and usability is only Subjective they can stop being wankers.. CHEERS TO U sparks although I ALREADY THANKED you in your thread. ;) CHeers to the B-Squad for what they've accomplished.

A new year it is.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
adding pngs and calling it your own rom is fraud imo.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Accually buddy because of you I added cm6.1.0 to the first part of the mod version quite some time ago, and since this rom is not stock wouldn't it be fraud to call it just cm6.1.0? I noticed that biffmod forked cmparts on github, then modified it and called it biffmod parts. Fraud? No because they put a lot of work into it just like the rest of us have done wheater its porting themes or whatever the case is. Either way we're all just here to share in a open source community, which I think is what cyanogen wants, but maybe I'm wrong
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
Actually, it's called BiffMod/CMparts. It includes Swap and CPU clock options. That's actually a substantial addition to CMparts.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
shhh

I added his 32% compcache to cmparts, everyone happy

grasshopper will type make when pc fixed
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
actually it's not something very useful to me. For one swap doesn't work good for everyone or on every sdcard, so a 32% compcache hack that doesn't use your sdcard is much more usefull to a wider range of people, but just my experience as I've tested and learned about swap. As far as compcache getting slower over time just clean your cache, that's many ways to do it, it doesn't require brain surgery. Setcpu gov is ok, but also not needed. I like setcpu, and never once had a problem with it, and if I did I would be sure to inform the dev right away of the issue at hand. It also provides a widget for easy access from my home screen, so I can manage it easier. Not knocking the stuff but just doesn't sound like it'd be very usefull to me. Also since Setcpu never failed me I don't think I'll be leaving it anytime soon. Also Biffmod wallpapers just renamed from cyanogenmod wallpapers, but's it's the same .apk just with a different name. Me personally I like to keep everything with the name cyanogenmod on it in the rom to remind people of the rom creator, not rom modifier

Point being we've all done substantial things, especially firerat, for the AIO and the scripts it contains in it from various cm forums post, as well as his own modifications that make the whole thing work. So on that note I think he and the others on cm forums that made these scripts are the real people we should be thanking. Also ezterry for these radio's that allow us to do a little more with our phones ram usage and what not.
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
Some good points, but BiffMod Wallpapers has many more wallpapers that are not included in the base CM one. Also, the swap thing is about offering people more options despite what the BiffMod squad preferred. We understand that some people swear by swap and others compcache, so why not give them both and let them decide? You might be making a ROM for you that you happen to share with others, but BiffMod is a ROM made with the people in mind, hence the size of the team (it was almost 20 people at some point, all contributing ideas and testing).
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
oh wow so I need to add more wallpapers to live up to your standards? I for one like some of the cyanogenmod wallpapers, which is why I left them in there. Your right, and at the time I was the only one testing for sparksmod, doing everything on my own including theming. So if you want to compare me to 20 people that's fine with me. And I for one do keep others in mind, hence why I pushed the whole CC thing because swap just wasn't working for most people. Also hence the reason why there is now threads in the mytouch thread. They still have the option as everyone knows that firerat's patch is in the /system/ect/ for swap. Like I said I'm not knocking everyone's hard work and I think the biffmod parts is a great idea! Also let's not forget who created biffmod and what it stands for, Biff was a great guy!
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Including theming? I think it was pointed out already that all you are is a themer...

I prefer the term "script kiddie" myself. One more thing, PLEASE stop typing your when you mean you're.

I'll never understand why you and blahblah cant just stay in your own thread, lol.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
hmm, I believe you meant can't

edit

lol, when you read it with a silly big ' , it sounds a bit cockney
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Good question, so why don't you ask the rest of your team why we're here to begin with. Stay out of ours and we'll do the same, otherwise bite me, it's a free world last time I checked, but maybe where you live your the DICKtator (purposely mis-spelled just for your ;)

That's funny because without ezterry you wouldn't even have a superwipe to begin with. So what exactly are you labeling yourself as?
[G1 Android Development] NLJ:
Umm... did you notice that although swap is on by default on BiffMod you can control both CC and Swap without using scripts. Just CMParts and few simple taps. And one reboot. What's more I've made sure that it's not possible to enable both CC and swap at the same time (it's still doable but one needs to fiddle with scripts).

Ain't it easier?

It's not Setcpu. It's CPUSettings. And it was never meant to compete with SetCPU. I made it just for fun. I've also posted modified version of this patch on Gerrit and most probably it will be included in CM7 at some point in the future.

That's the beauty of it. You don't want - you don't use it. It won't harm SetCPU in any way.

Yes and no. Source code is the same, wallpapers and few xmls have been changed/added. And recompiled. We did not decompose CMWallpapers using Apk Tool.

Actually it's quite possible to have both BM Wallpapers and CMWallpapers on same phone at the same time.

Since 2.0 all the BM ROMs were compiled from sources. Most of them are CM/AOSP ones but some of them are ours.

I tried to download your rom but Mediafire is acting wierd on me atm.

Best regards,

NLJ
