OK, I am facing a problem in after the upgrade that I observed today. I am unable to receive in coming calls. It gives a busy tone at the calling party and does not alert me at all of any in coming call. but the call is listed in the incoming calls.

after the radio upgrade to update_2.22.28.25_S.zip I installed BiffModV2.1-2708port_S.zip

I need help as it is worse.

Android Browser Flaw Exposes User Data

Just thought i'd share that. :eek:
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
hmm, as far as I remember you need to save the background img in rgb format

for testing without messing about flashing , just push stuff to recovery

drop to console ( assuming RA and G1 )

then

recovery&exit

if all goes well you should see new bg img

make any tweaks you need, retest, then when your done integrate into proper recovery.img and flash

note, I may be wrong about the img format , I have never bothered changing the bg img in recovery

Hi

Thanks a lot for helping me out yesterday. I want a little more help to restore the backup after new radio. which channel you are in? or what time you will be available, I have joined IrC channel but you seem not to be there
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
yeah, I've 'seen' it but never bothered looking at it

31mb? just to change a bg?

hmm, gotta see why its so big :D

Edit:

Ahh, complete unix 4 winblows included
[G1 Android Development] ibraheeemz:
everyone!!

I just got my phone restored with the latest radio upgrade. thanks a lot to shadow for his dedicated help!!

Following are the steps that I followed

[20:05] <Shadowch31> 1- fastboot erase system -w

[20:05] <Shadowch31> 2- fastboot erase boot

[20:06] <Shadowch31> 3- reboot to recovery

[20:06] <Shadowch31> 4- wipe everything, I don't care you just did fastboot wipe, wipe anyway

[20:07] <Shadowch31> 5- repair sd ext

[20:07] <Shadowch31> 6- reboot to recovery

[20:07] <Shadowch31> 7- wipe again

[20:07] <Shadowch31> 8- restore backup

[20:07] <Shadowch31> 9- boot up normally

[20:08] <Shadowch31> At this point all goes to ****

[20:08] <Shadowch31> Phone will go into a bootloop, this is actually good

[20:08] <Shadowch31> 10- pull battery

[20:08] <Shadowch31> 11- insert battery and boot to recovery

[20:09] <Shadowch31> 12- flash the anytest kernel

[20:09] <Shadowch31> 13- reboot phone

[20:09] <Shadowch31> 14- wait, wait and then wait a little longer, it has a lot to do

[20:09] <Shadowch31> No more than 10 minutes //it actually got 4 to 5 minutes only

[20:10] <Shadowch31> 15- Say thank you and bow to my genius ;)
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
pull battery?

wtff , its much easier to just

call + menu + end

pull battery, lol

How many redundant steps do you need?

Three fingered salute, has Shadow heard of that one?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
4 , 7 , 9 , 10 and 11

are all redundant

as is step 5 , no real need since sd-ext mount script does it for you

mind you, if its a full moon then I guess you should do all that, just in case

This rom is nice and with galaxy s theme is very nice, but i wont effect from sparksmod 1.4.1 because i like it, but i wont have only biffmod on my g1

Eidt: All I'm asking is please don't ask other devs to pull stuff from the roms I'm releasing, otherwise we would all have the same roms and that wouldn't be very much fun now would it?
[G1 Android Development] dux3r:
ok, but dont wont new radio and spark is for new radio :(
[G1 Android Development] :
Tell you what FireRat, follow my guide and the part it boot loops good luck fella making that work :D
[G1 Android Development] :
Okay lets just for the sheer hell of it you and Firerat have a little pow wow, if you have the new radio and hboot and want to restore a nandroid/bart/switchrom pre hboot&spl upgrade to EZTerry's then by all means play nicely without following my guide or even asking what the directions was for in the first place.

When you both get stuck try the guide for restoring a pre backup and come back to me. By all means if you find a better way to do it then please enlighten us all with your wisdom because the method I use is the only method that has worked for this so far.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
errm, been there, done that

nandbackup

reboot to fastboot

fastboot erase system -w

fastboot flash radio new-radio.img

fastboot flash hboot new-hboot.img

reboot to fastboot, confirm radio and hboot

reboot to recovery

nandrestore

flash new kernel

flash boot patcher ( for customMTD )

reboot

No Problems

do you know how many boot loops I have gone out of my way to cause?

nor do I , I have lost count

there is no point in

nandrestoring

booting

pulling battery

booting to recovery

flashing the compatible kernel

when you can

nandrestore

flash compatible kernel

and why wipe, wipe again, and then wipe again?

thats just OCD

Anyway, I don't care
[G1 Android Development] :
I wouldn't mind but I'm getting blasted for what was written super fast in IrC as I was with a client and was planning on doing a proprer tutorial when I had the chance for those that were encountering problems. I love the fact I can get jumped on and basically slagged off for something that was never meant to or in fact was posted by me. All I can think is you and G1forfun are fookin bored, really fookin bored....

Anyway whatever, you do things your way and I will do mine and you can bet your sweet ass's that I will also continue to advise the users in the same manager and in the same style whether you two or anyone gives a ****. The fact remains it's my name in the op so in here it's my way to do things when I'm helping a user, don't like then don't do it. Simples.

The return of the missing apps

Hi all,

The biffsquad as of late has had many reports of missing apps in market. After some investigation it appears it may be the version of market causing the issue.

So we have a small fix:

http://rapidshare.com/files/432958957/Gapps20101020_DS_fixC_S.zip

(This file will only work as is on biffmod 2.1)

Requirement:

you muse have both biffmod2.1 and biff gapps installed before flashing.

Warning:

This is a public beta release and may contain unexpected bugs, if are uncomfortably with this please wait until we have some more results before installing.

Installing:

1) take a backup of your system, we had some issues in previous versions of the fix, and this is still a beta test.. so don't skip this step

2) flash the fix

3) reboot

4) not required but you may want to go into "Manage Applications" and clear market data

If on reboot you get only a black screen after the splash: run 'adb pull /system/build.prop' and if the file is not empty paste into paste bin, drop us a note and reboot to recovery to restore your backup)

Change Log

* Change phone from FRG83 to FRG83B

* Update to most recent Vender.apk (as auto updated on the MT3G OTA)

Thanks to the biffsquad and metalfangs for helping test this.
[G1 Android Development] budlowe:
So I'm thinking about upgrading to ezterry's new radio/hboot but am a little intimidated by the instructions. Also, when reading through the instructions, I get to the part that says:

and the "these instructions" link is dead. Is that just supposed to link back to the OP on this thread?

Also, I read the back and forth with Shadow's IRC tips on getting the new radio to work with a nandroid (I like that idea) and firerat's opinion on it, but might just wait for Shadow's new tutorial before I mess with anything. I followed the "fastboot/nandroid for noobs" thread and got fastboot/ADB working on my computer a couple of weeks ago but have never actually done anything with it. I usually do things through recovery and only when I've got detailed step-by-step instructions because honestly I have no idea what half of this crap means :o I just like the fact that all of you people smarter than me know how to keep speeding up my G1!
[G1 Android Development] austriker27:
So I was real happy with bifmod and then it started pooping on me after about 2 weeks after the install. gapps started to fail (FC on market, and gmail just wouldnt even open, not even a FC) and so I reflashed those to fix it..

the biggest problem is the bloody battery: it won't even last 4 hours on a minimum use (a few text messages, max 5 min talk time and ZERO data (APN's blocked), and maybe like 20 minutes of WiFi being connected and checking email..

what the duece? I tried resettting the battery stats and I think it got worse. this is aproblem- I am still on a quest for a good 2.1 (or 1.6 if I have to) ROM for the g1 that is super fast and stable, and has great battery (no need for lots of flashyness). So far SuperD is the best one.. any other ones people would recommend??

Thanks and happy turkey day!

Benchmarks

I know it doesn't mean a hill of beans but it's pretty cool that my myTouch 3g gets about 390 quadrant and 4.39 MFLOPS Linpack on this ROM with JIT and compcache or swap I try not to use swap because of the class 2 sdcard but it makes my browser fly.
[G1 Android Development] Edubyah:
I installed EZTerry's radios on myTouch 3g without spl or kernel and from my experience I would use the 2708 instead of 2825.All my nandroids restored fine with 2825 radio just fresh rom installs don't always boot when I had that radio.No problems so far with 2708 radio and in my case I don't use port kernel (took EZTerry a while to beat that in my head!) 2708 PORTS ONLY FOR G1 USERS TRYING TO ACCESS EXTRA RAM

HAS ANYONE HAD SUCCESS USING METAMORPH OR ADB PUSH ON THIS ROM? Every time I reboot I get the same old un-themed app shows up
[G1 Android Development] ibraheeemz:
will this (call + menu + end) reboot to recovery?? I hope not!! so it was exactly what shadow suggested
[G1 Android Development] ibraheeemz:
there is nothing redundant in it. its a step by step procedure that demands to be done exactly like that, has any one seen one step to be performed twice one after the other?? NOT

so if you wanna restore backup and avoid inconveniences then do as suggested by shadow
[G1 Android Development] nakeman:
any plan to update the ADW 1.3 sys. flash? Thanks :)
[G1 Android Development] Edubyah:
call+menu+end

No call+menu+end=reboot or power off from any point even locked up,in system or recovery. But I do agree everyone should be given instructions assuming they don't know and if they do know they can do it their way.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
When I get in a boot loop all I do is "call + menu + power", then "hold home button"=you win your now in your recovery!
[G1 Android Development] ibraheeemz:
that pressing home while reboot was not mentioned. By the way thanks for suggestion, Now it completes the action to avoid pulling battery
[G1 Android Development] :
My god the trouble that some quick instructions that I never posted can cause! :D

And I said to hold home button down when phone was rebooting which is what I had done but did you or did you not tell me that when it was rebooting it wasn't going to recovery when you were pressing and holding home so I advised you just pull battery?

Honest to god why is this even still being discussed? Quick IRC instructions taylored to a specfic user having problems is by no means my recommendations for everyone. I didn't even post them!
[G1 Android Development] ibraheeemz:
no no shadow, you did mention that at the time I was performing the restore, but Firerate was making fun of it that pulling battery was not needed and just call+menue+end should do the trick, and he did not mention to press the home button during reboot. I was talking about that.

I just posted the instructions so that someone who does not know can follow them, but I did not know people here are more to fun than helping and understanding others.

By the way end result is my phone is working fine and I appreciate you for your help
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Honestly, if you were unaware of the fact that holding home on boot takes you to the recovery image, than you shouldn't be having root access.
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Thanx!! I'll let you know how it goes.

**EDIT: No problems. Flashed and rebooted with no issues. ;)

Pulled this just in case: build.prop
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
::facepalm::

the 2nd and 3rd wipe are redundant

or are you the kind of guy that likes to wash his car, then wash it again, and then wash it again?

if you are , great

should everyone wash their car 3 times?

hmm, your probably going to liken streaks to a wipe not doing a proper job.

the streaks just mean you didn't wash your car properly in the first place
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
and if the bootloop is splash --> blank/vibrate --> splash ....

just hold home ( for recovery ) or back ( for fastboot )

call + menu + end , then slide over to home/back is just a little quicker and alot quicker/ less messing than battery pull.

very occasionally call + menu + end will not work, usually when using a crazy OC kernel and you get a freeze, then you have to pull

very rare that you *have* to pull

I have spent lots of time deliberately screwing up my phone

one example of why is here

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...to-recovery/page__st__40__p__21996#entry21996

I screwed up my recovery via rom manager to determine the most effective way of restoring it without fastboot
[G1 Android Development] :
Oh dear, we all still bored? :D

The instructions were designed not for flashing the 2708 ported rom or any other with the kernel pre supplied, they were for 'How to flash a nandroid backup that is pre 2708 kernel' or will be when I get the chance to write them later tonight. Basically it saves you having to flash the rom and reset everything up instead you can just restore a nandroid/bart/switchrom backup of your rom (before the hboot and radio upgrade) and then follow the instructions I will be posting and just for FireRat and G1forFun I'll even add a disclaimer to the extra wipe options and state it's not required but as it takes less than 10 seconds whats the harm! :D:D:D
[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
So, after using donut and eclair ROMs for awhile, I'm thinking about coming back to this one. However, the last time I used this ROM, I was having a lot of problems with the ROM slowing down a lot over time. For example, it would take 5-10 seconds for a text message to show up in a conversation after I pressed the send button. I also had problems with some settings not sticking after a reboot, such as the notification pull-down bar settings for the power control thing.

I was wondering if the new kernel and SPL would help my speed issues with this ROM. I never use swap, since I only have a class 2 SD card, but I do use CompCache.

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
you can do what you like, your thread

but I still don't understand why you would want/need to boot with the old kernel, only to pull battery, boot to recovery and flash the new kernel.

just nandrestore and flash new kernel,

Goats need not be harmed.
[G1 Android Development] :
Try it and tell me what happens because the four I've walked through including myself it just wasn't that simple.
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Glad to hear it worked out, hopefully now astro pro and other "missing" market apps can be found again.
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Actually, I was having issues with a few apps disappearing from the Launcher upon rebooting the phone. I'd reboot,re-install and reboot again and they would be gone. Now, after flashing this and rebooting, I didn't have to restore them. Not sure if it's related or not.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
That's just it, I have, three times

But whatever works for you I guess, maybe I'm just lucky
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Anyone?

What's wrong with this picture?

EDIT: I fixed it, just had to re-run "Auto Detect".
[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
Just flashed this ROM again with the new kernel and SPL, everything is running great, fast and smooth, but I have one small problem.

Whenever I try and turn my screen off with the end call button, nothing happens. The screen just stays on. I tried wiping the dalvik-cache, but it didn't do anything. Is there a solution to this?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
my bet is the home key does nothing either

do a full wipe ( after titanium backup ),either

clockwork partition format system , cache and data

fastboot erase system -w

or use the super wipe that is restricted to trout/sapphire

then flash rom + tiny gapps*

only titanium restore user app data

* or , if your smart use

http://www.mediafire.com/?3ib3khb2105o3

SuperTiny gapps

if you want the 'extras'

push those apks to /data/app/ ( or /sd-ext/app/ )

best used with customMTD

I'll let you figure out why
[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
Weird, my home key works.. I'll try doing what you said. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
I've had this problem with no home key action, no wifi, ect...It's probably a problem with the kernel some how.

fastboot erase boot

should fix it.
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Very Nice. :D
[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
Good news, my screen turns off now. Thanks Firerat. :D
[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
One last thing. I thought I remembered seeing this somewhere, but is there a flashable update to remove the 3D gallery, and replace it with the 2D one? If there isn't, does somebody know where I could find the 2D gallery .apk so I could just adb push it to my phone?

[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Of course not! He tells people in his thread that SuperWipe contains a "binary image" and will "muck up their phone" lol.

Then you can come to this thread and get 5 pages of bikering over wiping. Ironic, dont ya think?

ps.. and i think it not just me haveing this issue of Im clients being disconnected...
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
until bm2.2 is out, maybe we`ll solve this problem.

my guess: in the script that runs on install of the rom, are there some conditions that make install loop (or remain on a step without skip it) if there`s something wrong? i will not deny that i may have some hardware problems on my phone. but i don`t know why some roms works and other don`t.
[G1 Android Development] ibraheeemz:
make sure you wipe everything before installing and repair sd-ext if you use it. It should work there is nothing in the rom that holds it on your phone and not on any other. you need to wipe everything as mentioned in the thread
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
always the same answer :) you know that there are some logs from install where the rom wasn`t succesfully installed. may next time i will mention that the question is for devs. 10x anyway for effort.

all the respect for you (and your phone :) ). i am aware of your work in the android development stuff. i`m sorry that you`re gone on the dark side. but i still get a good laugh on your comments.

it`s a google bug. report it.
