Great work this is rom is blazen fast i been runing it for few days for testing no issues so far very smooth.

the themes are nice but i have one review for the red and black one i used a diffrent theme because the red was darker in it . it would be nice if the themes on the first post gets the red to be darker in it .
[G1 Android Development] mitsu3000gt:
i've tried 1.9 , 1.91 and 1.92...app2ext still doesn't work for me ...

also tried re-partition my sd ...using 32mb swap, 512mb ext, and the rest fat32..

still no luck ...my sd is the 2g one that came with g1...

anyone knows what's going on here?? thanks
[G1 Android Development] noodles2224:
I had the same problem yesterday.. I wiped through fastboot erase system -w, then wiped all 6 in recovery, reformatted SD just how you have it, upgrade to ext4, repair ext just to do it, flashed 1.9, after it was booting, did everything in OP except for loging in, reboot to recovery, flashed 1.9.2 then do as OP states and log in this. My way of doing and finally got this damn rom flashing to work without something missing. :)
[G1 Android Development] Whiterin:
Pretty new to this whole ROM flashing and modding thing. This one seems to be the fastest and most stable so far. Not quite as nice looking as the other one I tried, but much more usable which is important... especially since that seems to be the goal of this ROM. As someone else mentioned, the camera doesn't work correctly. It works fine with camera apps from the market, but the normal Android camera doesn't work at all for me. I try to take a picture and it just kinda doesn't do anything and I have to hit the home button to go out of it. Other then that though it seems pretty stable. Though... new boot screen please? lol
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
yeah, i made a nand backup+ext, flashed another rom, then restored BM192 from backup. all apps from ext were missing. so ... "hand job" :)

terminal-> sh /sdcard/fr-patch140.txt all (i had it on my sdcard). you may download and run it. now i have all my previous apps from ext partition. i don`t know how the scripts are made. if they run just once, or just in some condition. i flashed BM192 on the 191 (no wipe) and all worked fine.

p.s. on a second thought, i installed a few apps on 192 and they were there before i ran fr-patch. so ... i might have the same problem :)
[G1 Android Development] ebnneo:
friends am new in this version and I can not enable ap2sd it is or needs to do some automatic procedure.
[G1 Android Development] bambi23:
Having used this for a couple of days (after overcoming the boot loop by the old theme), I must say that this is quite a rom! very fast and stable, and really good battery life for a froyo rom! Well done guys for all the effort you have put in! Cant wait now for 2.0 :)
[G1 Android Development] dominilaos:
still can't get apps2ext working, only way it works is if i set location to external instead of automatic. weird? i guess i will have to run it this way if it doesn't make too much of a different from being in automatic.

i can live with it until 2.0 comes out i guess. other then that one issue with apps2ext not working, 1.9.2 is running super smooth and quick.

going to flash back to 1.9.1 to see if it is a problem with 1.9.2 or if it's my sdcard. will keep yall posted.
[G1 Android Development] athakur999:
Did a no-wipe update from 1.9 to 1.9.2 and so far so good except for that the update for some reason reset my alarms in the Clock app and I didn't notice, so I overslept this morning :D As far as I can tell the rest of my settings made it through the update intact.

The 3G hack has made a big difference too for me. I was getting in the 200Kbps range for upload speed before and now I'm easily breaking 1Mbps.
[G1 Android Development] :
Alright fella, sterling work on the black and blue theme only one minor issue…

The dailer still has orange highlights, very minor but thought i'd point it out cause I'm a **** like that :D

Also adw launcher I know I can change highlight colours so wondering what the rgb code you used is so I can match with theme and also for my status bar icons.

Cheers for the work fella :D
[G1 Android Development] dominilaos:
update..

completed a full wipe and reflash of 1.9.1 and also repartition'd sdcard. running 1.9.1 with only CC and no JIT/SWAP, disabled surface dithering, enabled lock home in memory, turned on application moving.

apps2sd is also working on 1.9.1 w/ same settings as i had set on 1.9.2. i flashed both 1.9.1 and 1.9.2 the same way, which is normally a full wipe and repartition'd sdcard. i like to start fresh, therefore if i run into any problems, it won't be hard to figure out what is going on.

i don't know why 1.9.2 apps2sd is not working for me, but i think im going to stick with 1.9.1 until 2.0 is released.
[G1 Android Development] Pedunie:
After one day, and with 1.9.2 nonwipe after 1.9.1 I feel the rom slower, like little jumps...

So I am going to give Biffmod a new oportunity and flash again from start, as it has to be.
[G1 Android Development] :
Confirmed, 1.9.2 = No app2ext, back on 1.9.1 myself.
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
It's automatic. As long as you follow the instructions in the first post, you should be ok. It doesn't kick in until the second boot, so when you first boot the ROM, enable application moving in CyanogenMod Setting, then Reboot.

Edit: Never mind, it seems there's a problem with apps2SD with people who wiped before 1.9.2.
[G1 Android Development] Swashbuckla:
Hey guys. I installed 1.9 last week and I absolutely loved how fast it was on my mt3g. I recently installed 1.9.2 and it seems that it's running a bit slower than usual. Before I could adjust my CPU to 614 MHz (the max for me) and now it will not go any higher than 576 MHz. Could I have possibly done something wrong? I apologize in advance if this is a newbish question but I am new to the modding scene. Thanks in advanced.
[G1 Android Development] droidmage:
The newer ROM's have a 576 kernel. If you look on the OP there are two dumfuq kernel's. download one of them, put it in the root of your sdcard, boot into recovery, flash it without wiping or anything just flash it, reboot and go into setcpu.
[G1 Android Development] droidmage:
You can also just use firerats patch to enable a2sd on 1.9.2. Thats what I did and everything is running great.

This ROM is amazing. Thanks again Royalknight and team you guys put together the best ROM avalible and we all appreciate all the work you guys do
[G1 Android Development] Swashbuckla:
Thank you for the response. I'll try that once I'm done here at work. Thanks again :)
[G1 Android Development] ftatv:
I test the rom.

Run so smooth, and almost everything its ok, only a little problem, battery was over in 6 hours.
[G1 Android Development] Noebody:
Just curious if you could put the cyanogen soccer chicks pic back in the wallpaper gallery for 2.0
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
No, you can pull it from his rom or find it on the internet if you want it. Remember Original Froyo thats what we do here nothing special.
[G1 Android Development] burn317:
Get set CPU
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
I just flashed 1.9.2 on my wife's MT3G. She hates change, but she might not kill me.
[G1 Android Development] ZenPenguinZ:
Was running 1.9 and getting great battery life, then flashed 1.9.2 over it. Runs great at stock processor speed but sucked my battery down fast. 'Android OS' was taking the most power.

Just flashed the 633 OC on it and it seems much better. Weirdness.

Keep up the great work.
[G1 Android Development] HawkiesZA:
Decided to give this a bash (was running CM6) and so far it's pretty amazing. Fast and smooth and paired with LPP it's fantastic. I've had one pretty random FC on the Settings screen (:-/, I know) and it rebooted once for some reason, but it's been stable otherwise. Battery life is also pretty good, though WiFi drains it in no time.

Nice ROM and keep up the good work! Can't wait to try out 2.0!
[G1 Android Development] Hillaire:
Installation aborted

I tried flashing 1.9.2 from 1.9.0 and got "Can't open /sdcard/Biffmodv1.9.2.zip (bad) Installation aborted. So I tried 1.9.1 first thinking maybe they had to go in order, bit 1.9.1 did the same thing. I had no trouble with 1.9.0 after doing all requisite wipes, but word in the thread seems to be that wiping for on a "no-wipe" update is bad news. I've never had this response from any other Rom before. Anyone else running into this? While I'm at it, I've noticed that everything on this Rom works quickly except the homescreen. Every time I wake it and go to swipe the screen, it takes 2 or 3 swipes of the finger before the screen seems to reluctantly come to and start to hesitantly move. After that, everything's fine. Nothing fatal, just inconsistent with the performance elsewhere in the Rom.
[G1 Android Development] seblog:
very pleased with this rom, so far the best Froyo i've tried.

Only some comments, installed the 1.9 from a full wipe.

Everything was good.

Then did the no-wipe update to 1.9.2 and started all the problems:

1) very short battery life

2) random reboots of the phone

3) extra long time for phone to reboot

so i wiped again everything and did a full wipe installation of the 1.9.2

same problems reported above, i'm tempted to go back to 1.9 but i wanted to know from you if i can try some solutions before doing that.

What i think is that the swap might cause the random reboots, there's a way to permanently disable swap?

If i use "swappy off" then at next restart i still have swap on...

When it was working fine (on 1.0) i had compcache off, it might be related to that?

in any case i'll wait patiently for 2.0 hoping that it will solves all my problems :)
[G1 Android Development] Pedunie:
Hi:

I flashed 1.9.2 from start, and flash the Galaxy Theme. It's so pretty, but it has not Adw launcher, what I expected.

Otherwise, the roms looks perfect now, the only problem is that I hate this launcher and adw launcher from market is so slow....
[G1 Android Development] skippy214:
no aftermarket launcher is included in this rom because we want it as plain as possible. when you try the adw from market, do you switch all your adw setings to fast?, i think its setting all the variables to low. id give that a shot.
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
about the 1.9.2: you downloaded it ok? have you checked the md5 ?
[G1 Android Development] Jbazt_katuforzs:
wheres the link of the theme shadow the greatest...lol
[G1 Android Development] Elegy:
Im having problems with setting wallpapers. i HAVE to choose the 3d gallery for setting wallpapers, because the so called 2-d gallery force closes on me. Same with downloading pictures from dropbox. It gives me the option to open the downloaded picture with normal or 3d gallery. Only this time they both force close.
[G1 Android Development] Elegy:
yikes, campus internet -_-
[G1 Android Development] :
In the first post fella, four to pick from :)
[G1 Android Development] Hillaire:
aborted installation - md5 check

No, since you suggested it, I've looked around for ways to check the md5, but all seem to require a PC (I'm on a Mac). I do note that this is, I think, the first time I've downloaded a rom that didn't take me to a file download site as an intermediate step (this one downloads directly from androidknight). I've downloaded and flashed dozens of roms, and none has done this before. Besides, if there were a problem with the md5, wouldn't other people be having the same problem? I downloaded it twice and tried flashing both downloads of both roms (1.9.1 and 1.92 with the same result).
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
i don`t what browser do you use. try to erase the old downloaded .zip and download another. i don`t know, maybe you had a bad connection from which results a corrupt file. i flashed 1.9.0, 1.9.1, 1.9.2 ( from megaupload, i think ) and had no problem. i don`t know if there might be some filesystem incompatibility from osx to you fat sd ( it shouldn`t ).

i knew about this problem with the downloading from phone`s browser, but not osx or any other os.
[G1 Android Development] dominilaos:
another thing...it will abort installation in recovery if your battery is lower then a certain percentage, i can't recall the percentage right off the bat but i believe it does that to prevent any damage to the phone due to it cutting off because of low battery percentage.

now on to another update...

i am still running 1.9.1 instead of 1.9.2, theres only 2 changes so it doesn't make too much of a difference to me between versions. rom is still running super smooth and quick with CC on, SWAP off, and JIT off. apps2sd is working great, i've been installing all of my apps back onto the phone and i am still up at around 80-83mb of internal memory. i don't know how many times i am going to say this, but great work on the rom royalknight! i'm looking forward to 2.0, i'm pretty sure it will be better then 1.9.1.

battery life with this rom is excellent. i went all day yesterday without charging my battery and that is with me playing on my phone most of the day at work. went to work with 90 percent battery and came home after 10 hours of work with roughly 40-45 percent!
[G1 Android Development] Hillaire:
aborted installations

I use Chrome on a MacBook Pro. I erased both files from the phone after the first failures, downloaded them again from androidknight, copied them over to the root of the sdcard, and flashed them - same procedure I've used for all roms. I couldn't find mirrors or copies of them on Megaupload or anywhere else.

Update: Deleted 1.9.1 and 1.9.2 (and oc kernel 633) from phone and computer, and downloaded them again from Safari and tried flashing them again with exact same result (installation aborted - bad file). Anyone know of another place I can download them?
[G1 Android Development] Hillaire:
aborted installations

Nope, fully charged, and plugged in.
[G1 Android Development] Kaos Chase:
just wondering, it says appsext and what not, so does that mean if I bust out titan backup and unleash all 108 of my apps they will go to ext right and not jam up system room?
[G1 Android Development] bambi23:
the blue and black theme is seriously nice! Excellent job Royalknight!
[G1 Android Development] coolbreeze0688:
Now I see why Shadow was rubbin his man nipples and lickin his lips

THAT BLACK AND BLUE THEME IS HELLA SEXAY!!!!

excellent job RoyalKnight
[G1 Android Development] KronicAnarchy:
Ok so I've been running 1.9.2 since it came out and I was on 1.9 for about a week before that. I am now willing to print a retraction :rolleyes: The ROM after being a huge pain in the @$$ to get rolling is very stable and I wholeheartedly and without reservation see why you've rated it the way you did. I'm glad I stuck with it and finally got it to run. Don't know what I was doing wrong initially, think I was on ext3 instead of ext4 (don't know if that was the reason for my issues but...)

So there it is, should have known better than to doubt a knight :D

Oh and the Black and Blue theme, awesome, I like blue so much better than red anyway.
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Boot into Recovery and then goto console...

Once you do that, you can run "adb shell" from your computer (or just type stuff into the keyboard directly, but thats slow)

C:\Documents and Settings\Osaka>adb shell
/ # mount /sdcard
/ # cd sdcard
/sdcard # md5sum BiffModv1.9.1.zip
8f4a2a4ed676a5bbd54eafae376363e1 BiffModv1.9.1.zip

md5sum is built into the shell...
[G1 Android Development] :
Or just simply open Terminal Emulator on your phone and do...

md5sum /sdcard/BiffModv1.9.1.zip

Quicker than booting.
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Fantastic!! That's all I'm sayin.

To the guy wanting cyanogenmod wallpapers..

Download CM6 to your PC, extract with Winrar, open apps folder, copy CMWallpapers.apk and paste to your SD card, Use SUFBS or whatever file browser to browse to your SD card, click CMWallpapers.apk and install just like any other App. That's it. The babes are back!

:)

Sent from my Biff Plain Dream
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
I explained it using Recovery Console because usually when you are asking yourself "Hmmm, I wonder if my download is corrupted.." is when you already wiped your phone and the new install fails. :)
[G1 Android Development] snkrfrkr127:
apps2ext

noob question but how do you get apps2ext to work?

... i never really understood it, does it work along the same bases as a2sd?
[G1 Android Development] :
Deleted...
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Thanks bro I am glad you stuck with it and understand why I gave it the rating I did. Thanks for your support. EXT4 is needed in this rom so maybe that is why people are having issues they need ext4. who knows. But thanks.

reboots on 1.9.2

Flashed 1.9.2 yesterday and as it says no wipe, I didn't.

Boy, was it a total dog. Slow as sin on boot and opening anything.

Said, Fine! and did a wipe, reinstall of 1.9.2

Now it's running much better... HOWEVER, I've had two lockup/reboots so far.

First one: Sync operation was in effect, tried to open Market at the same time. Whole thing locked up for about 75 seconds, then it just rebooted itself.

Second time: Had Linda file manager open, tried to look at a text file on the SD card. HTML viewer started up and it froze up again. 60-75 seconds later, it rebooted.

No, I haven't been able to replicate these and I have no logs.

So, at this point, it's just an unreliable report I guess.

Hmph.
[G1 Android Development] :
I use EXT 3 wiith no problem.
[G1 Android Development] :
Okay Ohsaka you really want to do this then fair play to you…

Don't get a ****ty on because I gave users the option to check there md5 checksum BEFORE they start flashing and hitting problems, not as you advised as well all users to you are that thick that they will **** up and not look for a preventative measure to run before hand.

The end of the day were here to help each other out and by giving people the measures of prevention then it causes a lot less headaches and is easier for the less technically minded to understand and use with a lesser risk of messing up. So please keep your silly little pics/slogans to yourself and go play nicely with whatever it is you do because obviously people skills isn't a stong point for you.

Hahaha me a noob… Me loving it :D

Edit: Sorry RoyalKnight for posting out of context. Ohsaka if you really want to carry this. On then let's take it to PM's as Knight or this thread deserve us two getting into a flame war with each other.
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Heh, you misunderstood what I meant. I know you aren't a noob. I saw where you had replied before and then edited it to be "deleted....". I figured you had said something not so nice so I was putting a nicer translation of it. :)

No hard feelings?
[G1 Android Development] :
It was just something that didn't really need to be said so in the end I didn't.

No hard feelings here fella, all forgotten :)
[G1 Android Development] Hillaire:
mid5sum permission denied

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I typed what you suggested in Terminal Emulator and got "permission denied." I googled "mid5sum permission denied" and got precisely 1 result, which didn't help. Is there anyplace else to download these roms? Or the mid5sums? Or anything else to do?
[G1 Android Development] Chaosmstr:
Check your system for malware.

If you are dl'ing fiels and they are getting changed, it may be something on your system affecting the files.

If I had an FTP server running, I'd put the files up for ya.. but I don't. Sorry
[G1 Android Development] Hillaire:
mid5sum permission denied

Check my computer or my phone, or both? I download almost nothing on my computer, and have never had a virus or malware of any kind, but I'll check it out...
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
this archive contains all 3 versions (190,191,192).

all were flashed by me with no problem.

they will stay on the server for 10 days ( maybe 2.0 will be out at that time :p )
[G1 Android Development] Kristion:
I really hope that 2.0 will be released in the near future, 10 days is too much for me ,lol. I'm still sticking to 1.9, had only one softboot that lasted 30 seconds in more than a week, pretty decent. Greetings fellow countryman!
[G1 Android Development] Hillaire:
Successful downloads

yo9gnc, many thanks! Your downloads worked perfectly. Still don't know what the problem was, since knights downloads seem to have worked perfectly for everyone else, but I really appreciate your taking the time to send those. Much obliged.
[G1 Android Development] Bzerk1:
NICE WORK!

this rom is f*cking NICE! before i had trouble getting it up speed with 1.9.2, and went back to 1.9.1, but then i just repartitioned down to a 32mb swap, and it's speedy as F!

Great work to the biffmod team, Thank you very much, this rom is so good i feel like slapping you guys lol. Damn thats a good rom lol
[G1 Android Development] :
Hhmm that's not a good thing and has me somewhat puzzled due to the fact I've just triple checked and you don't even require SU permissions to run it. Can I just confirmed you had typed in the destination and name of file correctly?
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
My previous image link seems strangely appropriate now...lol.

Only way I could get that message is to md5sum on a file with no world-read permission. Like 'md5sum init.rc' in the root dir...
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Thanks Shadow and Ohsaka for keeping this thread on topic, LMFAO!!!, and trying to help everybody out, I know I appreciate it cause I cant always be on here especially while I am in this training. So props to you guys, thanks a lot. :D
[G1 Android Development] :
*Kicks dirt onto Ohsaka's shoes and mumbles* He started it! :D

Okay been playing nicely and have decided to have some fun ripping apk's apart to match the black and blue theme that is so beautifully put together by Knight and hope this compliments his work further. I'm going to be theming the framework-res (Thats for all the wifi, alarm, usb etc etc) the dailer and possibly a few other things like market.

So the question is im doing it for myself anyway and wondering if anyone would be interested in them? If so when I get them done I'll pop them on here :)
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
Can you post a screenshot or two? I'd like to see what the Black and Blue theme looks like.
[G1 Android Development] winkerg1:
Hi all

I am running 1.9.2 and I am noticing the lag in the phone seems to get worse towards the end of the day.

Typical example.

This morning 7:30am I went into the market downloaded a couple of apps, then went to work.

sent two texts, 1 phone call on my mobile

when I came to use my phone at home time 4:30pm ish the phone was almost unusable , I tried to bring up the phone and it was so sluggish I ended up dialling a number from my call log and then it took ages to cancel it

Why is this? I have tried different setups with CC / SWAP and just a plain FAT and EXT4 partition no SWAP

The other question is the boot screen.

I don't get it, people say its amazing but I am completly missing it! Please can someone explain why its so great.

Many Thanks and this post isn't a moan, I am really grateful people keep the G1 alive time after time and keep us up to date with the latest and greatest from Froyo.
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
If you feel like you need ADW (I like having four icons on the bottom), you can flash it from recovery. It will replace the default launcher. Be aware that there's no going back to the default one unless you flash the ROM again. I tried it. It runs faster than the standalone ADW.Launcher.v1.1.5. I can't tell the difference between the speed of this one vs the default one anyway, so if you're like me, you can try this.

ADW.Launcher.v1.1.5 System version.

http://www.mediafire.com/?7sdlu9go595u1ejj

Just put it into the root of the SD card and flash it in recovery.
[G1 Android Development] :
Something definatly wrong fella, i'd do a full wipe and reflash, check out the setup guide link in my sig to help you out with programs and settings to help keep your phone fresh :)
