KA non taken I am an Italian :D from a big family :D of all guys and I am the youngest. As such I can handle criticism. I try not to be biased at all in my ratings of Roms. But I have ran V1.9 for 4 weeks straight with no lag, no FC's, No Reboots, The Speed stayed the same as it did on the first day I flashed it. So before I posted the ratings I waited a good amount of time and did extra testing which I normally don't do. The Quadrant score on this Rom is 395 which on the graph was above the Droid. I am getting around 4.0 Mflops. Opening and closing apps is smooth and fast. To me all those things add up to a 5 rating on Stable.

Yes some people have had issues and truly I believe its cause either how they have there SD card set up also I believe its the class there SD card is, and I also believe its the size of there SD card. By size I mean I read a while back that the G1 has a dislike for 4 gig class 2 and class 4 cards, Those style cards cause issues. I have confirmed this on my wifes G1. She has a 4Gig Class 2 and she is running BiffMod V1.9 (With No issues I may add) and every once and a while the damn card/phone causes dismounts where I have to shutdown and either reboot or take card out and put it back in. So yes just like

ALL ROMS

some people are having issues a few of those people have given us logcats, so we can help them out, the rest just complain and don't try to help themselves. Users can complain all day about an issue they are having but without looking at a logcat we have no idea what is going on. Also without telling us how your phone was setup doesn't help us out either. You said you flashed V1.9 followed instructions but then went and flashed RE theme, well did you try just the regular version to see if the system acted the same way....No I bet you didn't. So if the RE theme has an issue with it then you could've posted hey I flashed RE theme here is my boot up logcat looks like it boot loops, but you didn't. I use the RED theme and have been for about 2 weeks it runs nice. I will try RE theme and see what you are talking about.

So in all thank you for your post and thank you for the appreciation sent my way and my teams way. :cool: But I hope with what I said you can see why I gave it the score I did. This Rom all in all in my opinion (along with multiple other people, including Shadow and G1for Fun) is the Best Froyo Rom Available.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Shadow so all you want is just the bar change to black? Non of that other fancy black stuff. If thats the case I will do that for you on my days off and have it posted the same day. I go on days off on Sat. so it will be up in 2 days. haha
[G1 Android Development] Some_Biker:
Great ROM! I had been trying out multiple FROYO roms, and thought that they were all destined to be hella slow, therefore i was about to go back to an Eclair rom, but then this rom appeared!

Only 2 concerns which i hope can be fixed:

1) The lock screen will not lock the Power/ end button... which i suspect may be one reason my phone turns off.

2) My phone reboots randomly when its just sitting next to me

Any solutions? is this happening to anyone else?
[G1 Android Development] :
God no the black bar mod is just to tide me over till the 'other fancy black stuffl is done :D
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
I will look into this, make sure you have the updated Radio, your sig shows you are running the old one. Also you mightve had a bad flash i would say re-wipe follow instructions again and re-flash. But thank you for liking the Rom so much. Also after re-flashing if problem is still there a logcat of when you press the Power/End button to lock the screen would be awesome.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
So were you running into issues with the Black Theme or something? if so I will look into it this weekend. You should try the Red Theme its pretty damn nice. The plain RED Theme not the Resident Evil Theme.
[G1 Android Development] Some_Biker:
Ahh... the radio could be the problem, i'll work on that after i get out of work, thanks. What do you mean by "logcat"?
[G1 Android Development] :
No problems and have flashed and tested all the themes from the front page, whilst all have their good points they are just not to my taste, the black theme works great but the grey highlights are just not to my liking. I just love having a black and blue theme as that's visually appealing to me and all roms I've ever used and kept for awhile have ended up being changed taking a little from here and a little from there. Hell even your blue theme will be modded with full blue status bar icons and darker blue highlights, I just can't help myself. I just need to learn how to change status bar colours and text colours and I'm good to theme for myself.
[G1 Android Development] :
Your radio should be okay as its the same as mine and I have no issues. Logcat basically is a function that can be run using a data cable linked from your phone to your computer, search for 'ADB for dummies' in this forum and it will explain more and help you set it up. Also there are logger programs on the market, alogger and catlog seemingly being the favourites.
[G1 Android Development] diorDNA:
I will get flamed for asking a really simple question? I wasn't really asking anything I was more like thinking out loud. I knew all the risks when I downloaded it I was just seein what would happen since it was a test.i didn't really take it seriously, what ever happened happened.and no I have not sent ANY private messages to anybody. I was just seein what results id get. And 1.9 is finally working, after 2.0 test 5 failed I did a fastboot erase twice because sometimes I think it doesn't work and followed the instructions exactly and now it works perfect.
[G1 Android Development] jessejoe:
Thanks very much; that's the sort of thing I was looking to find out!

For the record, Astro will happily plop down packages where-ever as you'd think. kingjehu's warning does apply...

Anyways, now to try this with Titanium.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
I am glad V1.9 is now working perfectly for you.
[G1 Android Development] jacsonmoore3:
I don't think its the Radio, cuz if you look at the video you will see I'm still using 2.22.19.26I....it don't give me that error
[G1 Android Development] mekan:
One last try!

I just flashed the rom with OP instructions but now I'll only install SetCPU to clock to 576max (instead of restoring with Titanium Backup) and see how it goes ;) I'll leave feedback later!

Nevermind... It still shutdown on me I come to the conclusion that my problem is the battery... is busted... Anyone can donate a battery? I got no money at all... please let me know if someone can do this for me(I'm super broke right now + unepmployed).... Thanks for the awesome job Royal! It's not your ROM its my phone's battery whats giving the issues as it doesn't shutdown when charging ;)
[G1 Android Development] ochavtec:
RKRom-GalaxyS.theme-nowipe

I flashed "RKRom-GalaxyS.theme-nowipe" to Biffmod1.9.

but, The battery icon became unknown. (stat_sys_battery_unknown.png)

By the way, It was normality in other themes.

Why do it become like this?:confused:
[G1 Android Development] 313dash:
So far so good the speed of this Rom is pretty good. The memory is great all the apps moved over to the sd. The only problem that I have is that I can't install Angry Birds. Lol Besides that this is a good rom.
[G1 Android Development] diorDNA:
Is the new radio really neccessary for a flash to go good?
[G1 Android Development] lackonne:
same like me
[G1 Android Development] Bzerk1:
me too, just didnt flash the mtd partitions from firerat this time. and lower the overclock with setcpu and it's as good as it gets for me ^_^
[G1 Android Development] badboy68:
this rom is the sh---, hey royal, when is comming out, i wanted to know your setcpu settings?
[G1 Android Development] Elegy:
been running 1.9 for some days after it finally settled. And its fast. Though sometimes it lags a bit, like when is downloading apps from the market and installing them. Just gotta wait a minute and then it goes back to superfast again.

only real problem i have is the screen rotation. Changing from portrait to landscape takes ages, sometimes with FC's of the app im using.

Oh, and i keep missing calls. Whenever someone calls me my phone would just vibrate, lag, freeze, go black, go white and eventually stop. then when its settled down a bit i get a notification saying i missed three calls.

Any suggestions ?
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
i`m just curious: are you using apps like "say my name" or something else which runs on calling? or some really low frequency on screen off ?
[G1 Android Development] BPC48:
I found two weird thing.

1. In the previous versions the clock app had a slideshow function but now when I press the slideshow button it is just a shortcut to the gallery

2. In landscape mode the homescreen is not so pretty. Because of the screen indicator dots at the bottom the widgets can't use the left side of the screen. I try to attach a few pictures. Can you guys do something whit this or it is the fault of launcher2 ?
[G1 Android Development] raven_raven:
2. This is because of Launcher2. Maybe someone can change it, but as default you cannot do anything about it. Maybe try another launchers like LauncherPro or ADW?
[G1 Android Development] :
Just wondering if anyone else has problems with Google Talk? I don't know what it is with me and all froyo roms but Google Talk comes up with the Signing In black screen then just as it seems to connect it kicks straight out to home screen and doesn't kick up an error in logcat which is even more annoying.

I'm looking to see if its a european esq problem not having google voice or if its something else, also if anyone experiencing it has managed to get a logcat error for me to look at?
[G1 Android Development] BPC48:
Thx for the answer! I stay with launcher2 because of the speed.

to Mr. shadowch31:

I am from europe and I have no problem with gtalk. It works fine.

I am not using google voice cause as I know it is only avaiable in the USA. /sorry if I misunderstood you, I am not a native speaker/
[G1 Android Development] Elegy:
Yeah you have to run fix_permissions

When i have apps running like GOogle Talk, and someone calls me... I miss the call. WHen someone calls me when there are no apps running.. I miss the call. It seems i cannot receive any calls with this ROM, all it does is just vibrate, lag out and miss the call.
[G1 Android Development] droidmage:
You can change the bar color in cyanogenmod setting > user interface > notification colors then scroll down and check custom notification bar and custom pulldown bar
[G1 Android Development] fordmanck:
Yeah Shadow, make sure you run fix_permissions you n00b! ;)
[G1 Android Development] :
Now why didnt I think of that! :D

Thanks anyway for those that suggested it but trust me when I say thats the first thing I run, lets just say this isnt the first time I've dipped my toe in the flashing world ;) Then again if anyone ever paid attention to my sig they might just figure that out :D

I think I have the issue tracked down anyway, its a system process that titanium restores that causes the issue. Now the question can I be arsed figuring out which it is or just bugger it and reset my system settings manually...

Manual wins due to no-one else giving a crap cause their Gtalk works :D:D:D:D:D
[G1 Android Development] :
Try looking at the link in my sig for instructions to run the renice process to see if that helps at all. If not loggy catty pleasey weasy :D
[G1 Android Development] KronicAnarchy:
Ok, so after multiple tries, and actually corrupting my recovery, having to unroot and re-root, I got this ROM installed with no bootloops. I even managed to get the galaxy theme on there, and an uncorrupted backup. I really, really wanted to believe all the hype about this ROM, and so far so good. I've only been up with it for a few hours so we'll see how it goes. I'm not a dev and I don't know the first thing about writing code etc, which is why I never posted a logcat, I simply don't know how, but I have tried almost every ROM under the sun, and I definitely put them through their paces. I probably should learn more about ADB, and Fastboot considering how often I'm tinkering but unfortunately I just don't have the time or patience. Someday I'm sure it will cost me a bricked phone but....... I guess that's just a chance I'll have to take.

Any way all that said, I still can't get the RE theme to work. It always goes into a boot loop on me. It says no wipe update, so I haven't but should I maybe wipe/repair ext, and dalvik? I got the theme to work just once briefly and the next reboot after adjusting status bar color, it boot looped, haven't been able to install it since. The galaxy theme is nice but I'd like to see how much battery I have left, and all it shows me is a question mark. Besides, I did really love the little bit I did see of the RE theme. So now that I've finally got your ROM running I plan to stick with it for a while and see how it goes, but in the mean time if you could help me figure out how to get that theme running I might finally be happy, lol

Thanks again for all you do.
[G1 Android Development] :
Well I never! Guess you can teach an old dog new tricks ;)

Thanks :)
[G1 Android Development] Lateralos:
Repetitive connection problems when using Internet based apps after a few days into using the rom but after a good flash all is dandy again :D could have been me but i checked all the data settings many times :p Hate to say it but it does seem quicker than Donut mostly,(few slowdowns when opening messaging or phone here and there but anyways) amazing work! mighty chuffed :)
[G1 Android Development] droidmage:
No problem. That with the stock_black theme under tweaks extra looks really good
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Constant soft reboots, I'd say like every 5-10 mins when actively using the phone. It's fine when I don't touch it. SetCPU to 528 Max. Every time it reboots, I lower SetCPU. No idea what is causing the reboots but, I believe it to be the kernel.

Apps show up every time, tho, so that's good.

:)

Plain Biff Dream - RE
[G1 Android Development] Chaosmstr:
streaming audio issue, take 2
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Can you run logcat on a computer and save the end of it when a soft reboot happens?

Did you use Titanium Backup at all?
[G1 Android Development] Some_Biker:
So i updated my radio and i also tried re-flashing 2x... it still restarts every 5 or 10 min... any solutions?
[G1 Android Development] Elegy:
Okay for all who got tired of me nagging about laggy phone, missing calls. Im sorry.

Also to the dev. Its not the ROM, its me (ofcourse it is).

After missing a ton of calls again i decided to format my SD, partition and flash the wipe.zip. Then install the rom using the steps in the OP.

And finally, finally I can enjoy the beauty that is called Biff mod 1.9. It is just so frickin fast and responsive. Now I see what ive been missing out on all this time.

Great rom!
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Yeah, sometimes doing a COMPLETE wipe, which includes repartitioning, can help things out. I do it every now and then and just make a backups of my picture, music, game data, BART folders first. Then I copy them back on the FAT32 partition. Now that Froyo is FAT32 aware, who knows what kinds of problems can be caused by old data sitting in the .android_secure directory!
[G1 Android Development] jacsonmoore3:
I just delete android_secure directory folder & all the folder from previous Rom's cuz that can cause problems...doing a wipe sometimes don't wipe everything
[G1 Android Development] diorDNA:
flashed newest radio, everything seems to be going good:)
[G1 Android Development] Abhi_UK:
Why doesn't neocore work with this rom?
[G1 Android Development] burn317:
Again got problems with my camera, about 5 shots in the span of about 2 minutes and it locks up as a black screen without shooting the shot. any suggestions? Thanks
[G1 Android Development] domex2k:
Damm it had been awhile since i ran bifmod, and OMG is 1.9 nice im glad the launcher is the default stock one now :D
[G1 Android Development] Kristion:
I've been using 1.9 for almost a week. I had some random soft reboots and after I lowered the cpu to 576 from 614 it was very stable, and I mean VERY stable. As many persons mentioned above, do a complete, full wipe, repartition the SD card and follow ALL the instructions in the OP. If you do that you won't have any problems. For backup I use ASTRO. I save the backup folder with .apk's on my computer,the .vcf file with my contacts and also my pictures. Anyway, I"ll stick with this ROM untill 2.0 will be released, hopefully soon. Great work guys!
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Yea, I always use Titanium Backup. This time, I restore like 10 apps at a time, and got low disk warning after like every 10 apps, rebooting didnt help so I manually moved each app to SD after about every 10 apps restored. I have not had many reboots since I posted that comment. Although I did have an incoming call that did not show up the name and number until they hung up, just lit up and showed the lock screen. Process failed every time I tried to answer.
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Hate to tell you this, but if you get the low disk warning, then you are not installing it correctly. Maybe when 2.0 is released I'll record a video of the installation process...
[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
Just flashed this last night. Its awesome! However, I wanted to use the Galaxy S theme, but it had some icons missing, and things weren't working right. The battery on the status bar just had a ? on it, without showing how much battery I have. Also, there were no icons on the status bar for sync, wifi, etc. Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks for the great ROM!
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
That sucks. I didn't use Fireats MTD Parts, is that what it is?
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
I will fix that in the next release sorry.
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Nope, its not required. In fact, I have never used the MTD hack on my phone.

You might be missing one of the reboots and doing too much at once.
[G1 Android Development] coolbreeze0688:
Is there anybody with a 32A running this rom?

Just rooted my bros MT3G 1.2 yesterday
[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
This section is for 32B phones unless stated in OP then no. Try looking in the MT3G section? :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] PhenomenalCris:
Swap

How do i disable swap?
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
Remove 08swap from /etc/init.d and reboot.
[G1 Android Development] fliparsenal:
rom is very very fast but gwahh swype doesnt work!
[G1 Android Development] diorDNA:
Why is it on the preinstall of 1.9 after adb shell mount -a rm -rf /system/* my g1 goes offline and when I replugin the usb and redo adb shell and do rm -rf /data/* it goes offline again and then when I get to rm

-rf /cache/* it tells me can't remove cache/lost+found/ directory not empty. And I did a full wipe and did fastboot erase system -w. So I don't know what's going on. This g1 has been nothing but hell for me from the get go :(
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Instead of "fastboot erase system -w", hold vol_down + home + back when powering on... its a built-in system wipe. No adb required.

Instead of "rm-rf xxxxxxx" stuff... just do all the Wipes in the Amon_RA recovery menu... Do EACH one, then do the "repair ext" option under "partition" menu. That is a good enough wipe of the phone.

Then begin by flashing the ROM and following the rest of the instructions...
[G1 Android Development] diorDNA:
Thank you for that
[G1 Android Development] sleepy3194:
Is it really necesary to update to the new radio,

for this ROM or any other Froyo ROM?
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Not necessary, but some people who had old radio and then after flashing new radio Froyo worked better, But I have also heard that the old radio works fine.
[G1 Android Development] XxKOLOHExX:
It's not necessary but It's highly recommended to improve battery and signal strength.. The newest radio helps battery alot compared to older ones
[G1 Android Development] sleepy3194:
Thanks guys for the help :)
[G1 Android Development] mitsu3000gt:
may i ask a stupid simple question about app2ext?...

how do i use it??... the apps will be installed automatically into ext partition?...

or i have to go into setting/application/manage application to move it onto sd card?

thanks
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Apps2ext is completely automatic, no user action required.

For people with streaming audio quality problems, try using setcpu to turn up your MIN speed to 528 mhz. Slacker Radio used to have that problem for me. Pandora never has had problems.
[G1 Android Development] blazinfiresz:
Step one is difficult

Can someone help ? I really don't understand the install directions. Especially step 1. Any help is appreciated, thanks :)
[G1 Android Development] phiredrop:
Booting into another fresh install. Wiped everything there was an option wipe.. twice.. just to be sure ;)

Will report on wifi issues in a bit...

[UPDATE]

Even after wiping everything, as soon as I setup my wifi (WAP Enterprise) I start getting boot loops. I would just keep wifi off, but I don't have a data plan. This seems to happen to me with every CM Nightly since RC2 (it happened in RC2 also, but applying the patch here http://goo.gl/i5dw fixed it).

Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] ryaninc:
Okay, I spent the last few hours working on this. I can find simply no way to make Maps work. I tried using a root explorer to remove maps completely, reboot, reinstall from Market...nothing.

Tried Brut maps, nothing. I tried various fix permissions, reboots, uninstalls, etc...zilch. So...unless this issue is fixed in a future nightly build, I'm out of ideas. :confused:
[G1 Android Development] Edubyah:
If you are quick to hit OK before force close comes up, no more force close. Ihad same problem with nightly's.
[G1 Android Development] domex2k:
Yeah the last 2 nightlies is doing the same thing will just have to wait till its fixed.
[G1 Android Development] DroidDavi:
im going to flash 1.2 now so can anyone let me know what size is there swap and ext
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
I use 1.0 gig of ext4 and swap you can use anything. The bigger the swap the least you have to worry about killing tasking. Swap is good for multitasking. Just pick I size. I would say anything from 64 - 256 mb is a good size.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Yeah I am just like you tried everything to get maps to work but I bet we will see a fix soon.
[G1 Android Development] Abhi_UK:
The new nightly has been released.

Are you really using 1gb swap, people say 32mb max. I always used 288mb because of sense but recently went to 128mb.

Doesn't that cause extreme slowness or are you using very low swappiness.
[G1 Android Development] rbtady:
no market

Umm...was anyone else missing the market? I am on a mytouch, maybe that's why.
[G1 Android Development] domex2k:
It sure has and i just flashed it and its the same thing still.:)
[G1 Android Development] DroidDavi:
is the 614 oc ready ? i saw it on the download page
[G1 Android Development] DroidDavi:
im stuck in a bootloop

i flashed the rom then gapps the the over clock the 1st time i booted it went to the set up and after i put in my email it re booted and went into the loop and its been looping for a few min now
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
I had the same issue with 614 OC, dont use it, you dont need it, this rom is way fast without the OC.
[G1 Android Development] DroidDavi:
it is fast but im a bit of a speed demon lol
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
I would say wait for the update to come out tomorrow that will have 614 built in. I agree speed is awesome 614 is my usual speed but I can deal with 575 for a night or two.
[G1 Android Development] jonbron:
Got stuck in a bootloop after doing complete wipe and repartition. I flashed the rom, then gapps, then theme, then universal overclocker.

Any tips?

EDIT: just rebooted into recovery and got an error message:

E:Error in CACHE:recovery/log

(No space left on device)
