We know the problem now that is causing alot of people grief.

RoyalKnight should post a 2.0.1 release sometime tonight/tomorrow. (He is at work now, so don't wait up on him)

Without getting into details now because its late and I'm about to sleep... The previous ROM you were running before flashing BiffMod2.0 is a factor in how successful your flash would be. This is why Shadow's instructions fix it, since you are essentially fixing your "previous" ROM first.

It also helps explain why the problem didn't show up in our testing. All of the testers were coming from BM1.9.2 which would always be successful...
[G1 Android Development] hpdroid:
flashed just ago.

its fast and smooth.

Want to see about battery later.

nice rom. thanks :-)
[G1 Android Development] reserek123:
Wow best froyo yet. Its smooth, fast and pretty stable. I just tested my yr old battery out on it. I took it off the charger at 9am, made had 3 15min phone calls, around 50 text messages and downloaded 9 apps and im sitting here at 130am with still 18percent battery left so overall this is the perfect daily driver. It has its lag city moments but for the most part its pretty speedy
[G1 Android Development] aye_captain:
finally! a stable & fast froyo rom for g1:)

but now i'm having trouble running genie widget. always force close when applying the widget or opening the app. i tried fix_permissions but still not working...
[G1 Android Development] kino13:
I don't know what to think.

I have flashed it in my wife's magic 32B, and it seems to fly.

I have flashed it in mine (same phone), several times, and although the rom works, it isn't specially fast. Ok, it is slow.

I noticed that the rom also flies up to the point of installing the google apps. After that, everything goes down. I tried to fix_permissions after the GAPS but nothing.

I have completely wiped the phone/card/everythingelse, but it does not look or feel fast at all.

I will say it again, my wife's phone, which is exactly the same, is flying. I haven't activated CC or swap on hers yet either.

Keep up the good work.
[G1 Android Development] ZaneChua:
Okay, so i have tried this rom when it was in its early stages and to be honest it was crappy and didnt work properly. Boot times were amazingly "short". And everything else was buggy.

But i have different things to say about 2.0 2.0 is fast, bootimes have significantly improved, probably around 1-3minutes. Scrolling and everything is pretty smooth for a G1. Awesome rom. Enjoying the new features. What i really needed was just the sms patch that wouldnt auto convert my messages into MMSes. Though i do have one feature that i would like to know if its working. In CyanogenMod Settings, there's this option Quiet time. It doesnt seem like its working. Any ideas? :)
[G1 Android Development] vermaekansh:
badluck for me

I know it sad but true that i cant use this rom for long though this rom is the best rom for me. After flashing everything seems to be working at very high speed in the very first attempt...

but the problem comes when i started installing apps.. none of the apps seems to be downloading al are present in downloading status and sometimes download paused.

same problem with the browser it is not able to open any web page..its displaying message that web page not found..

Rest is awesome i thank everyone behind this ROM and also whom they thank.

great job guys...sorry for me i cant tase it anymore onto my G1.
[G1 Android Development] MetaBolic0:
Help please

Well yesterday night after a day with this rom my phone freeze and any notifications reboot the system.

So i install again with black blue theme, i use the 1 way to wipe the system and after i wipe all from the recovery. I format SD card and create the normal partitions 32swap, 512ext and the remain for FAT32.

Yesterday i only install all the aplications with Titanium Backup and i have to FC 1with titanium another with ADWLauncher but well i make a Titanium backup and un Nandroid to prevent.

Today i turn on the phone (that was all night charging) and in about 1h my battery run from 100 to 78%!

The only thing im doing, is unistall some google apps that i dont need and run permissions and fix the uid mismatches.

Another think i can't find the quickoffice on menu but i see it on Titanium so where can i access to it?

And with apps2card isn´t necessary to move apps to SD card right? The phone with need make this by itself right?

So the help i need is (because i think this is the thing that freeze my phone yesterday) what is the better SetCPU values (because i dont whant to freeze the phone)?

If this run out of battery is normal or not? (I already wipe battery stats)

And if is better to have CC on/off the Swap on/off and the JIT on/off because i read allmost the threaths here and i see very differents settings?

Sorry but im new on this and i love this ROM and have to take most of my phone

Thanks for the help
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Ok so I got home early from Work, thats always a good thing especially for you guys. So I put the final touches on 2.0.1. Enjoy. This should fix the boot problems most of you guys have been having. I didnt have the issue so I wasnt really able to test it. But one of my testers tested it and he said it fixed it. So heres hoping. Let me know. Also this is a FULL WIPE update follow the instructions in the OP, Not Shadow31's use the original instructions.
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
i can also test it if you want me to (on my own risk) but i have no logcat available after that.

later edit: i`m starting now.i`ll let you guys know.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Thanks thats fine, remember full wipe, do one of the 3 options and then go into recovery and wipe all 7 and then repartition your sdcard dont just repair, Re-part, and then flash Rom reboot, do the settings and then reboot into recovery and flash gapps.
[G1 Android Development] :
And good to see you here to fella and glad your liking the rom :D
[G1 Android Development] jacklc000:
Is there any reason to flash 2.0.1 if I had no problem flashing 2.0
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Nope, only thing changed is the boot animation and fixed the issue for the few that had a problem. you can just wait for 2.1
[G1 Android Development] vermaekansh:
can you share the link for that 2.0.1

i tried the 2.0 and biffapps on my G1 but market seems to be not working as unable to install apps and browser not been able to open web pages..

sory no logcat..

i did the system wipe and also the recovery wipe all option and partioned the sd card but that didnt help.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
The link is in the OP.
[G1 Android Development] :
Can you read the first post? :D
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
It does seem faster for some reason, I know can BiffMod even get faster I guess so. lol
[G1 Android Development] :
For the few like myself that suffered with booting issues and had to use my guide...

Download v2.0.1, follow the instructions in OP and flash away, boot phone and squeel like a fat kid that has just found the keys to the local sweet factory!

You thought after my guide the rom was good? You have no idea...

;)
[G1 Android Development] zortmo:
Another happy camper on BiffMod v2....thanks much!

Sorry for dumb question....Is Google Voice Search functional in this release? I get FC every time I click the microphone icon.

Thanks again Biffmod team.
[G1 Android Development] SamZzz:
So is the "Boot problems" the only difference between 2.0 and 2.0.1? I flashed 2.0 last night and phone is running great with no problems. Came from 1.9.2 and did the fastboot wipe plus SD ext wipe/repair SD ext in Recovery (did not wipe cache/data/etc in recovery). ROM flashed very fast and first boot time was wonderfully short compared to most ROMs. Let the screen go black and made sure the logcat had stopped before I applied the JIT/CC/Swap settings (Left CC off and turned on Swap since I had a swap partition on my SD already). Rebooted and flashed gapps.. second boot still zippy. Only FC I've seen so far is when I first re-installed Swype on the phone.. this is normal as it's a big honkin' app. Phone has been running fine since then.

I'd hate to mess it up by flashing an update that fixes a problem I don't seem to be having... :)
[G1 Android Development] izzy001:
O

Will try thanks
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
sorry, i guess i`m a lost cause. no result. keep trying.

anybody from those who couldn`t flash bm2.0 had any good results ?

what i did:

1 - (Optional,Recommended) Perform a BART backup from Recovery

2 - Power off phone

3 - Wipe system partition using one of these 4 methods:

*Volume down, home back and power for system wipe then use amon ra to wipe the rest

4 - Hold Home and power on phone into Recovery mode

5 - Wipe SD Ext and repair SD Ext partition (other wipe options are redundant due to Fastboot erase) -- even reparted it

and half of : 6 - Install ROM, reboot, wait for boot to finish and screen to go black.

sorry. i do need adb.

Radio: 2.22.19.26I

Recovery: RA-dream-v1.7.0

NO MTD hack
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
I would call 2.0.1 one of those "only if you are having problems" updates. It will 100% fix the problem where people's phones wouldn't boot up. There is also a smaller chance it can fix some of the more weird problems people are having.

But if you are happy with how the phone is running, which means you probably came from BiffMod1.9, then you don't really need to flash. You can just wait for 2.1 release.
[G1 Android Development] fanbogo:
hum ..i flashed 2.0.1 i do everything like u say im reading all time your posts

when i flash just rom (no gaps) everything was ok , but when i change settings swap jit ,allow aplication etc and when i flash gaps my g1 stuck on new bot animation , it was some 5-7 min ago (my battery is hoooot)
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
are you sure that is the battery and not the mainboard? any gps/wi-fi turned on ?
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
If you post that you are having troubles, please include:

Model: G1 (32A, 32B) 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? (if you don't know what it is, the answer is No)
[G1 Android Development] fanbogo:
g1 32 b

yes 32 mb ( i just do partitions )

wipe method volume down and later everything in amon ra

ext from 2 to 3 from 3 to 4 and repeir ext

no

other items like danger etc i have like in 1 post

first bot without gaps was very quick system works perfect
[G1 Android Development] SamZzz:
No problems here. :)

10-4. Then I shall enjoy my creamy Froyo goodness and await 2.1. :) I had more problems booting 1.9 than I did with 2.0. And yeah.. I came from the 1.9 series. I've ran 1.9, 1.9.1 and 1.9.2 leading up to this.
[G1 Android Development] vermaekansh:
I am sorry i didnt checked the first Post :)
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Not sure what could be going wrong. Make sure you are flashing BiffModGapps.zip and not some other generic Gapps update. It would help if you could post a logcat.
[G1 Android Development] fanbogo:
gaps i downloaded from 1 post yesterday , i cant give you logcat i dont have my computer (now i am in internet cafe)

now im doing everything again partitions etc , this is last time i hope will be ok now ...
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
You can also try flashing the gapps in the op right after flashing the Rom (meaning without booting into it first) and see it that works. It not the preferred method, but it was done successfully during the testing of the Rom.
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Unfortunately "had to" go back to SuperD. Every 2.2 Rom so far is a single-task affair, unless you run with lots of Swap. Leaving an app only temporarily will resort in it being reloaded once you come back.

Usually this is not a problem, as you use one thing at a time anyway. But doing some surfing or reading some articles with i.e. the Engadget app and at the same time receiving an e-mail is bad news. Reading the mail and going back to the browser or another app and there we go, reload...

The Rom itself is very (VERY) fast, but these things bother. Using a large(r) Swapfile like 96MB solves this for the greatest part, but also has some negative issues ofcourse (Rom slowing down over time).

With 64MB Swap I found it all run very (VERY) nicely, alas only when using one app at a time :rolleyes:

Will try 2.1 when it comes out, ofcourse. BiffMod still is the best 2.2 Rom in my opinion.

[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
what about you?
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Model: G1 (32B)

Partitions: Swap (tried with and without swap though)

System wipe method: Volume Down + home + back + power and format system cache data via .zip

MTD Hack: Nope

Did the volume down, home, back, power method to erase system

Then flashed the wipe datacachesystem file for grins.

Then flashed Biff 2.0

Reboot configure Reboot

Then flashed Biff GAPPS.

Reboot

Force closes the first time around and a few random freezes.

Force closes second time around and a few random freezes.

This is with the recommended settings in the op. First time I ran the rom with swap, second time with compcache.

Also let my room mate who is an iphone 3g user swipe through homescreens and type and all that and he said the rom felt laggy. Latest nightly, he said felt much smoother in every aspect. Keep in mind he knows NOTHING about Android and is going strictly off feel compared too his iphone 3g. Unbiased opinions are what I look for as they mean the most.

Thanks for the constant development on this rom I hope too see a more stable release in the future.

edit: And I just wanted to throw this out there.... A lot of people in this thread are talking about the boot up being the fastest they have ever seen and this rom being the best. That one sentence drains all of your credibility because if you think this rom has the fastest Froyo boot up time, then that is telling me you haven't flashed any of the nightly builds or even the CM6 stable release.

BTW I like the boot up animation. It's simple.
[G1 Android Development] BiscuitBee:
I'm having the same experience here. Things need to be reloaded all the time for me. I'm going to do a fresh partition, a full wipe and play around with a larger swap size even though I had issues with it earlier. Perhaps 2.0.1 will solve some of those issues. Well, my SD card is only class 4 so that might be part of my problem with swap.

I have fond memories of SuperD w/RAM Hack (There's a [PORT] for the HTC Dream (Rogers) EBI1/32B, which is quite handy) being able to handle a couple/few applications at the same time. I just enjoy 2.2 so much, though!
[G1 Android Development] NLJ:
This looks perfectly normal. Now you wrote:

Where did you get that msg? logcat? How did you call that 'Apps2sd' script?

Some context would be handy.
[G1 Android Development] bassbox:
flashed 1.9 -> 1.9.2 . booting right now.

allready at the portal boot animation.

//EDIT:

booted up just fine.

Gonna try to flash 2.0.1 afterwards now... :(

SAME ERROR as before! :()!
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
If you flash my ebi1 port on 2.0 or 2.0.1 you will end up with the same end state..

The change was to flash an older boot.img then the 32b pershoot kernel.. I just flash a prebuilt boot.img containing the ebi1/32a kernel and proper ramdisk.. (thus replacing the ones in the base rom)

I can't say I've found multitasking problems.. but tend to do very light multitasking mostly in applications designed to correctly reload there state even if they are removed from ram.
[G1 Android Development] :
Just wondering if anyone else is having issues with albums not loading up in the music player and none of my tones on my sdcard are being picked up when I go to change a ringtones/alarms/notifications?

I have 52 albums and all my own custom tones so tis somewhat bugging me :D
[G1 Android Development] BiscuitBee:
D'oh. Oh well, bart restore to the rescue! I guess it didn't hurt to repartition my sd card and backup all of FAT32 files.
[G1 Android Development] badboy68:
i dont think its you guys shadow, jus everyone elses phones, have aliens.. coz i just follow the instructions posted, and it does exactly how you guys engineered it to do. badass rom.. thanx again
[G1 Android Development] neidlinger:
talking big for first time poster...... / me not you /

I've Tried the CM6 stable mod when it first came it, it was slow. really slow. This /2.01/ BiffMod is alot faster than the "Stable" CM6, runs alot better then the original release. I've tried various Nighlties and Chromatic 4.5. This /BiffMod 2.01/ has to be the fastest in boot time and one of the most stable builds i've see in a long time.... it doesn't loose creditability. I means different OS work differently on different phones with different applications packages, different Ext partitions, and such....
[G1 Android Development] sleepyfu:
Try updating your RADIO to 2.22.23.02 than try this ROM. Link is in my signature.
[G1 Android Development] sleepyfu:
Open the DevTools app, run media scan. IIRC I had to do that when I had BM1.8 to get a bunch of the pictures back in gallery, it may work for the music too.
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
I thought about it. i saw on other user (hope the signature is updated) that works with the old radio. i`ll try update the radio, too. i`ve seen speaking of good signal and stuff with it so ... what do i have to lose. 10x. i`ll keep you informed :)
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
FYI, we use the nightly CM6 builds as a base when we do a release. Hence the "swipe left->right to dismiss notification" feature..thats from Cyan, not us...
[G1 Android Development] droidmage:
Your right that the nightlies and cm stable boot pretty quick but I havent found one that ran worth a **** on my phone. Admittedly I havent ran any nightlies in a while, I have been really happy for the most part with biffmod and chromers ROM's. The cm stable while booting up fast ran very slow on my phone. and really I was speaking of ROM's based off of cyanogen's using apps2sd-ext, this is definitely the best of them hands down
[G1 Android Development] bassbox:
Well, i guess it will never ever run on my dream ...

tried everything so far.. i'm back to my backup of dunnowhat vdunno
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Hey Bassbox I really want to help you so lets troubleshoot: Looks like you are running newest radio and Danger SPL. What I want you to do is reflash Radio and reflash the Danger SPL. Then reflash Amon's Recovery. Once you have done that. take the necessary steps. Wipe system (even though I am pretty sure flashing spl will wipe system) Lets just do it. Wipe System from Fastboot (Fastboot erase system -w), Then boot into recovery. Go to Wipe menu and Wipe all, then repart your sdcard to 32MB swap, 512ext2. upgrade ext2 -ext3 -ext4. Flash Rom. Reboot. After log stops moving, if you make it this far, lol. change settings. Rebott into recovery and flash BiffMod Gapps. Reboot. Hopefully this works.
[G1 Android Development] Noslice2002:
So......I installed 2.0 last night, everything was great. Rom was running smooth, nice and quick, no app install issues or anything, then my phone froze and proceeded to wipe itself today. Can't really make a logcat of that issue. Has this happened to anyone else. Loved what this rom was doing. Fastest Froyo I've tried. Haven't used nightlies lately, but was wondering if this had happened to anyone else. If it was a common issue, or if this is just an incident isolated to my device. Great rom, except for this issue. I had to use the secondary install instructions to get it running. Thanks for any help in this matter. I appreciate it.
[G1 Android Development] neidlinger:
I know this build is a CM6 variant. I knew that when i first flashed 1.9. It's a Lovely ROM and runs the way CM6 should.

A friend of mine has a Dream, not sure of the exact number, and i have a PV32B Magic. Both of us really started thinking CM6 shouldn't be this boggy, esp when you get into the browser and in the Google Maps and Navigation. So we started going through the ROM Bible and started trying out various nightlies. and we found that BiffMod 1.9 JUST PLAIN WORKS AND DOES A DARN GOOD JOB OF IT.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
If you were one of the few that had to use Shadows instructions, reflash rom using the newly released 2.0.1 should fix all your issues and in my opinion the rom even runs faster.
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
i just have a new radio. still no bm2.0.1

i think i`ll wait for bassbox. and then i hope that vol down+home+back + amon-ra wipe is just as good as the fastboot erase system -w.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Why would one method of erasing the system be "better" than the other? In the end they all are performing the same function right?

Just curious....has anyone not been able to get the rom running after formatting system but then they formatted system a different way and the rom suddenly worked?

That would prove that they are in fact doing something different.

And I am not trying too put down this rom's boot time or anything but CMON saying its faster than the rom its based off of is just silly....if you know how some of these scripts are implemented.
