Ok so to the people V2.0 is working for I am glad you are enjoying the awesomeness of the Rom, Its faster and more stable then ever before. We have put a lot of work into it.

Battery life for this version I tested yesterday and with moderate use I got 14 hours and I still had 20% before I went to Bed.

Yes all the Themes should work I rebuilt them with the new framework-res.apk before posting V2.0 so if you have a favorite theme go ahead and flash away.

Google maps and navigation should work I use both of them all the time.

Now to the people having issues (the handful of you):( I first want to apologize that you are having issues and I am sorry :o. But I guess every great thing has to have some issues even though we tried to find everything and get rid of it. We are working to fix this issue for you guys, We have a few ideas and working through them.

To the people who havent flashed yet I say just make sure you follow the instructions in the OP exactly, make sure you wipe system one of the 3 ways then in recovery wipe all 7 (its a little redundant) but just do it, then either repair or repartition sd card. upgrade to ext4 ( i have heard ext3 does work, i use 4). Then flash Rom, reboot do the settings in OP, reboot and then flash gapps. anyways. I am glad that most of you are getting to see how V2.0 is. Thanks for your support.
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
It works fine for me. I wiped everything and did a fresh install with the file from the 1st post. Unfortunately I did alot of the testing, so of course it works for me... :(

If you post that you are having troubles, please include:

Model: G1 or MT3G

Partitions: Do you have a swap?

System wipe method: Fastboot erase over USB, Volume+Down method, Recovery wipe only, etc.

MTD Hack: Are you using it?

We apologize for the problems... We have quite a few testers, and only one of them can recreate this problem. Rest assured we are actively looking into it and will fix it ASAP! Just remember to do a BART backup from Recovery before you flash. That way if you have problems you can quickly send us the logcat, and then restore back to working image.... There's no reason to be afraid.

FYI, after restoring my apps with Titanium, my phone shows 88MB free internal...no MTD hack.
[G1 Android Development] Jbazt_katuforzs:
I partitioned my sdcard (32mb swap,512mbext, upgrade ext2-ext3, ext3-ext4)

What version did you flashed?

Try G1 version. But first confirm to royalknight/shadow wether the G1 versionis safe to be flashed in MT3G devices.
[G1 Android Development] dominilaos:
Nice to see that 2.0 is now released. Just got back from vacation last night, will try this out later tonight when I get a chance.

I will be doing a full wipe down to the bone for a fresh start. When I'm done and rom is settling down, I will surely post an update and my review on 2.0 compared to 1.9.1.

1.9.1 is surely one of the most stable versions I have used so far, hopefully 2.0 will suprise me even better. I have used my phone constantly during the day while on vacation and I have only charged it at night while I'm sleep in my hotel room. Battery life is superb on 1.9.1, and from what I read 2.0 should be even better.

Royalknight, I will hold you to your word =P. Haha, jk.

Sent from my G1 running Biffmod 1.9.1.
[G1 Android Development] Levito:
themes?

Hi there, rom seems pretty cool so far, nice and quick.

A couple of concerns tho...

#1 The app package contained here erases browser altogether from the phone, did you guys intend that?

#2 None of the themes seem to look like any of the pictures provided on the original page, for example the resident evil theme doesnt have all the cool color theming in the settings menu (that was the resident evil pic right? pics 3,4, and 5)

any ideas about that?

**edit**

This is really freaking fast.
[G1 Android Development] mahd-leb:
i want to upgrade to biffmod 2.0 rom but i have a little issue, usually before i flash roms i unzip them and i create a data/app folder and put all my apps in it and sign it and it always works but i cant seem to get to work on biffmod 2.0 the apps dont show up !!!
[G1 Android Development] Gisiej:
Had trouble flashing it, still no succes after tons of wiping and flashing:P

Still stuck at first Bootscreen g1 Logo

Model: G1

Partitions: Fat32 ext 4 swap 96mb

System wipe method: Volume+Down method & Recovery wipe amon 'ra

Also posted a logcat a few posts back :)
[G1 Android Development] CHERNAB0G:
phone: g1

rom: ive tried both

sd partitions: 128mb swap, 512mb ext

system wipe method: recovery only

mtd hack: never heard of it, so i guess not
[G1 Android Development] Lateralos:
Just got it running on the Magc 32B, followed the instructions and used the G1 version. wow.. its damn snappy. Definately worth the wait! :eek:

I was just wondering if the "swap on/off" button is actually fuctional and secondly if I flashed the MT3G version im aware more RAM might be used (with Dalvick stored internally) but will the phone be faster? Alsoooo, (one final thing) i've been told Swap is more for multi tasking and can slow down the phone so ive always used CC (told its quicker), is this in anyway correct, especially with Biff2.0? :D

thanks a ton in advance! :p
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Doesn't do anything here as well. HTC Magic 32B, tried the MT3G Rom. Onlu Fat32 and Swap, no Ext.

Logcats ends with

I/swap ( 142): CompCache is enabled. Swap will NOT be activat

E/apps2sd ( 148): /sd-ext not mounted. Not enabling Apps2SD.

I/logwrapper( 61): /system/xbin/busybox terminated by exit(1)

and that's it ;)
[G1 Android Development] Levito:
Ok allow me to just say that I am shocked I mean SHOCKED at how well this rom performs. This is incredible...
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
ok. is this an intervention? i admit i have a problem :)

spl: danger spl

Radio: 2.22.19.26I

Phone: Black G1 (32b), qwerty

last stable rom was: BM 1.9.1

first time i tried the wipe[...].zip then all wipes in amon-ra recovery. rom flashed with no errors but stucked in g1 screen after reboot.

also tried with repartitioning the sdcard (32/512/3400 - just like the first time ).

if is relevant, i also have a 2 years old bichon meltese :)

thank you in advance for the effort.

i`m sorry i can`t give you any piece of log.
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
please don`t make us to hate you :p
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Yes the swap on/off switch works. we wouldnt have included it if it didnt. Swap is for multitasking and yes it could slow your phone down, could, I have noticed a slow down yet.
[G1 Android Development] Emilys:
..

I just wondering.. can i get flash in this rom? not for wids, because g1is to slow but for music it could work
[G1 Android Development] :
THIS IS

ONLY

FOR THE SMALL HANDFUL OF PEOPLE WITH PROBLEMS FLASHING VERSION 2.0!

Here is how I got mine to finally flash v2.0 and oh my god is it worth every second of effort that has been put into getting it working for us unfortunate flash challenged folks.

The logcats have been added to show how it should look when working so you can tell straight away if it has or not.

Before - # logcat

logcat

--------- beginning of /dev/log/main

I//system/bin/sh( 63): /system/bin/sh: Can't open /system/bin/memctl

I/logwrapper( 63): /system/bin/sh terminated by exit(2)

After - - # logcat

logcat

--------- beginning of /dev/log/main

I/cm ( 67): Welcome to Android 2.2 / BiffMod V2.0

I/cm ( 68): _

1) Download update-cm-6-09232010-BiffMod-signed.zip

2) Use one of the three methods to wipe system

3) Boot into recovery and wipe ALL in amo ra

4) Repair sd-ext (found in partion on ra, I am using ext3 with no issue but has been reported too so if all else fails try updating to ext4 and follow these steps again)

5) Flash update-cm-6-09232010-BiffMod-signed.zip in OP.

6) Flash BiffModV2.0.zip - NO WIPE! I cannot stress enough do not wipe between flashing!

7) Reboot.

8) If it has worked then the after logcat shot should be what you see, if you still have issues PM me and I’ll look closer into each case.

9) Pick up from point 8 on the guide in the OP.
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
My coworker here with a G1 just successfully installed 2.0, mark another one down in the success column.
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Where is link to "update-cm-6-09232010-BiffMod-signed.zip"?

Edit: Found it in OP...I'm dumb. :)

http://theandroidknight.com/wp-content/files/update-cm-6-09232010-BiffMod-signed.zip

Good job, btw! Now you can go get that espresso!
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
2 more people get to enjoy BiffMod V2.0

Ohsaka its in the OP
[G1 Android Development] bassbox:
download link not working atm

//EDIT did now after trying it often enough ;>

..loading..
[G1 Android Development] slim00:
After fix_permissions, crazy fast, crazy stable! Thank you for your work!
[G1 Android Development] seles:
renice

very good work. Rom runs flawlessly.

Just one thing. Don't have renice. Shadow have you fixed the problem, or should i run the script in every boot?
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Yeah, I edited my post. I'm dumb. :)
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
We did a ton of research into renice. The conclusion is that its IMPOSSIBLE to do during boot up. Yep, you read that right. IMPOSSIBLE. Anything that tells you it is doing it, is lying. :)

Furthermore, lets say you renice a process.(after boot) If that process dies, and respawns, the renice is gone. So its not just as simple as running renice on com.android.phone one time...

Don't worry though, I have an idea on how to do it for 2.1. It will have to be an .apk application, not a boot up script.
[G1 Android Development] bassbox:
5) Flash update-cm-6-09232010-BiffMod-signed.zip in OP.

6) Flash BiffModV2.0.zip - NO WIPE! I cannot stress enough do not wipe between flashing!

Sounds like:

in recovery, flash update... and then biff2.0

no reboot inbetween right?^^

well, dumb question if 7.) is "reboot" ^^ just wanted to be sure i did everyting correctly before PM'ing

I must be cursed or something, still not working.
[G1 Android Development] seles:
So for the time being just waiting for the 2.1 update. Fair enough
[G1 Android Development] CHERNAB0G:
good sir, you did an amazing job.....you are a gentleman and a scholar, thank you.

as for biffmod, im on the bootscreen now so no comment yet
[G1 Android Development] :
Let phone boot up and wait for it to load fully, once connected to mobile tower then you can renice it without a problem. The only time a problem may occur is if you loose signal, then simply run the 'Check renice' script in my sig (Eclair & Froyo setup guide) if it returns -18 you have just solved one issue I can't test due to living in a very strong signal area. If 0 then just run renice again, let me know if you loose signal what the outcome is as it will help greatly.
[G1 Android Development] :
Wasnt just me fella, the whole team were there and helping to get this resolved so a big thanks to them also for all the work they have put in on this over the last 6 hours! Honestly they are a cracking bunch of people who I've been privaleged enough to work alongside. But thanks for your kind words, tis nice to now it is appreciated :)
[G1 Android Development] Emilys:
?

where to write fix_permission ???
[G1 Android Development] :
Go to Terminal Emulator and enter the following...

su (press enter key)

fix_permissions (press enter key)
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
in Terminal type

su

fix_permissions

thats it let it do its thing and you are good to go.
[G1 Android Development] Gisiej:
WHOHO:D A bootscreen:D Hoped its al going to work now!!

Thnx everybody for the hard work :D I'm Realy happy!
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Glad to hear it. let us know your final thoughts.
[G1 Android Development] phil0sophic:
Is Allow Application Moving required on MT3G if I do not use swap or apps to sd ?
[G1 Android Development] ibraheeemz:
well i have restarted my mobile and it seems to be smooth now. but after the restart my internal memory has gone down to 30Mb while it was about 87Mb before restarting. I dont know what happend to memory but the phone seems to be smooth now
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
No and actually with the new way we are doing apps2ext you really dont need to check that box. lol just habit
[G1 Android Development] ct25pf:
can i use apkmanager.sh on terminal ?? and as?? sorry for this stupid question please bat are not pratical of terminal :(
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
there`s no way i hell i can use this rom. flashed, reflashed, wiped, formated, prayed ... it won`t do it.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Did you try the Shadow31 way for the handful of people having issues, cause since he posted it we have had at least 2 people post saying they are using V2.0 now. follow his steps in the OP.
[G1 Android Development] biglo:
Oh so if I check that box anyway it won't affect anything? By the way what is this new method that you guys are using for apps2ext and is swap enabled by default ?
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
i tried it full of hope. i event tried to reboot after flashing update-cm6....zip and then (after 10 minutes of boot-logo ) flashed again bm2.0.

i`ll try all night long :)

if i will succeed, you guys will be the second to know :)
[G1 Android Development] tissle:
I feel as though a lot of the problems people are having can be fixed by reading the instructions
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
we are using a script instead of the Firerat all in one patch. Script makes it work more efficient and better. Yes Swap is enabled by default, if you read the Change log you wouldve seen that. but with the new options we included in the Cyanogen Settings you can easily shut it off and turn CC on if you choose.

Read Change-Log people loads of great info in there. Not trying to be rude, but writing those and remembering what you did is actually pretty time consuming.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Holy Sh!t somebody actual nailed it right on the head. Wow, we should give you a prize. lol j/k but very true. I understand those few users did have an issue but that issue is fixed now, Shadow31 worked for like 6 hours straight to bring it to those few. The G1 is getting old and some devices might not like all this new technology that comes with Froyo and to that we can not fix. Hardware and Sdcard issues we can not fix software we can fix or at least try to. lol
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
you`re so sweet :)
[G1 Android Development] CHERNAB0G:
now that ive toyed around with biffmod for a while im ready to say my thoughts....performance 5/5 battery life n/a (plugged in the whole time) everyday use 5/5.....overall 4.5/5 nobody likes random restarts, it has restarted on me twice already both times in the market....but i think im going to keep this rom =D
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Try and have it plugged into a computer with "adb logcat" running while it restarts...Then send us the logcat, we may be able to see whats going wrong...
[G1 Android Development] droidmage:
At least 3 now!! I did every thing exactly like the instructions said, it didn't work, tried it again didnt work. Then I saw shadows post and did that and it worked like a charm. This rom is amazing my phone had never been this fast.

Thanks shadow for posting that and thanks to Royalknight and your whole team for a job well done!! You guys rock best G1 rom ever!!!!!!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] raven_raven:
I waited for 2.0 so long and there it is :)! First: big thank you. I used a little BiffMod 1.9 and it was really good time (until it started to horribly lag with no reason). I like that this ROM is trying to be as stock as can be, which is really nice.

So when I got back to home I immidiately tried to run it on my half-live G1 (maybe someone remember that my device isn't booting abou 95% of ROMs :P), after few tries and messing up with FixFlash I managed to boot it successfully, but didn't had a chance to play with it because HOME and CALL buttons wasn't working ;/. Anyone had same issue? It can be my phone alone, so I don't want to blame anyone until I whose fault it is :P.

So I am suspending my verdict until I manage to fully succesfull boot Biffmod 2.0 :).

Oh, one more thing. Bootanimation is... really ugly. I mean - really. No offence ofc.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
OK,

and the bootanimation is not ugly, 1st if you are a gamer you fully understand it. 2nd it holds true to the original creator of BiffMod InfinityBiff, its android with an infinity symbol. We are going to try to work on a new one, If anybody is talented in the bootanimation department send me a PM we could use you.
[G1 Android Development] :
Thats a completely new one on me, so I'm guessing its just your phone.

Did you try my guide?
[G1 Android Development] biglo:
I did read the change log and also some comments later in the thread which got me confused, the reason why I asked was because when I checked the cm setting and it wasn't enabled. So that's why I asked, but I thought it was a stand alone swap method.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Ok cool, my bad. But yes its on by default.
[G1 Android Development] biglo:
Its cool, I wasn't offended or anything, I understand your frustration. You guys just keep up the good work.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Your welcome, we are working on V2.1 right now. Like I said in the Change-log adding goodness.
[G1 Android Development] Abhi_UK:
How does the apps2ext work on this.

I have left install location on automatic but it installed everything internally so iI moved to sd card but now they are on fat partition?
[G1 Android Development] MotoMudder77:
@Biff: Why would you get rid of the clock app? an alarm clock is kinda important.

Anyone got the .apk laying around?

Btw Apps2Ext doesnt work....at all
[G1 Android Development] DroidDavi:
Thanks royal you have been very helpful

And sorry biff for getting off topic
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
I installed 30 apps and I still have 52MB on my internal memory so apps2ext is working.

I just saw that, you can get the clock apk from any froyo rom just unzip then connect phone to pc drag it onto your sdcard and install via a file manager.

Look above for comment about apps3ext. They are working for me fine.

Your welcome, No problem.
[G1 Android Development] phiredrop:
Finally got 1.3 working with no reboots. This time I wiped the SD card in addition to all system wipes and started up the first boot without a SIM card in. It's running strong and smooth now.

And you're right @Moto, I didn't even notice - but the clock is missing, as well as my favorite ringtone (Mildly Alarming) :D The ringtone is an easy fix, not sure about the clock..

Thanks for the ROM Biff, I'm digging the speed!
[G1 Android Development] MotoMudder77:
oh yea, forgot that .apk dont need signed......its early for me.

But apps2EXT doesnt work for me. even after a reboot. MTD partitions should'nt affect that should they. Its all good, apps on EXT have issues from what I've noticed with other ROMs
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Just cause I am that type of person here is the deskclock.apk enjoy. Just install it using astro or any other file manager.
[G1 Android Development] infinitybiff:
Didn't even realize i did that. Thanks for catching it. Will fix in a moment
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
It could be the MTD partitions not sure. One thing I have noticed about the MTD partitions is that it causes your recovery to get corrupt so watch out, I had to reflash my recovery image 4 times yesterday. I just stopped using them. You really dont need it. What issues does apps2ext have? I have never had an issue with apps2ext, apps2FAT yes big issues but not apps2ext.
[G1 Android Development] infinitybiff:
I wouldn't have woke up tommorow. thanks for catching that. will reupload in a moment.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Thats cool bro, that is not a big issue, they just need to flash the apk I provided and they are good to go. Also I just uploaded my video review of this rom up to youtube the url is:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aECrUO_HzFE

Please bare with me it was late and I was tired and yes it was my first time doing this, I can only improve from this. lol hahaha
[G1 Android Development] infinitybiff:
fixed the alarm clock thing so we can all wake up for work :)
[G1 Android Development] lax789:
Ok I just got the hand on rooting and all that stuff, and I'm now running my g1 on supercsdiv4 on firmware 1.6, that's the one I found online, and its smooth fast, but is there a newer rom or something else that might be out there?
[G1 Android Development] Abhi_UK:
I moved them because they were installing internally.

I am using Firerat's MTD patch but it helps with space alot so I dont want to remove it.
[G1 Android Development] infinitybiff:
apps2ext is working. have to reboot after changing the "allow application moving" check box. Before reboot 69mb free after... 85mb.... :) the presence of data on your ext parition is also evidence that it works. :) Read OP carefully :)
[G1 Android Development] SG_Shadow:
Thanks!

I've been looking for an un-themed version of FroYo with Apps 2 SD. Thanks again! I will report any bugs...
[G1 Android Development] Abhi_UK:
on 1.3 maps still aren't working.
[G1 Android Development] arefin:
another way of doing that is installing clockworks recovery (search) and there you have two important benefits:

1. wipe system, under partition menu, so you dont need sdk package or fastboot method.

2. you can actually toggle md5 signature check 'on' or 'off' ........ that gives you the oportunity to install .zip files which are not signed! so you can simply modify .zip updates to your liking and then install them wihtout the hassle of signing using clockwork recovery.

hope that helps some..
[G1 Android Development] seles:
I just went from normal mode to Airplane mode and then back to normal and renice is still there. So i guess same thing happens when loosing signal
[G1 Android Development] raven_raven:
Thanks for very quick response. You guys are doing great work with support for your own work!

I'll try to reflash ROM and see what happen, now I'm 80% sure it is my device's problem.

And I'm a gamer (Portal is great btw, looking forward to buy 2 at some steam sale), I fully understand what this bootanimation means, but I really don't like. Standard blue, flashing Android logo is best for me.
[G1 Android Development] phil0sophic:
renice

Ehhh.. what is "renice" ? whilst I load the ROM...
[G1 Android Development] unclefrancis:
Thanks for the mod! I just flashed and haven't found any problems. I like the boot anim. even though I'm not much of a gamer, so I probably don't understand it. guess I'll check out the themes. thanks again and to shadowch for the sys wipe tip, came in handy.

-Dig the black and blue style
[G1 Android Development] schwillyd530:
Clockwork recovery with Biffmod 2.0

I am using clockwork recovery instead of amon_ra. Is this acceptable and if so does the repair EXT and swap setup commands work correctly for this ROM?
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
theoretically it should work and should be fine, give it a try and if you notice lag then flash amon's recovery and reflash rom so you can enjoy the speed of 2.0
[G1 Android Development] Chaosbreaker:
Well, I'm "watching" Xda Developers since the G1 came to germany, and I am one of those "silent" guys. But I can't be quiet anymore: This Rom is totally awesome! With 2.0 you made Froyo absolutely perfect for daily use. Thanks to all the devs who were involved...

I had a "This is the limit" thought when Eclair was made available for the G1...well, now we are here with froyo, and again I think "This is the limit"...now, proof me wrong :D:D:D
