I'm having some slow down issues when it comes to downloading/updating/installing applications from the market application.

I didn't really notice before because I just downloaded a file manager first from the market and that was it. Then installed Titanium Backup and restored apps as needed.

A bit of info:

-Rogers HTC Dream EBI1/32B

-fastboot erase system -w

-ext4

-BiffModv2(G1)

-EBI1 Kernel Port (via ezterry)

-BiffModGapps

-Black Theme (slowdown was happening before applying the theme)

-JIT on

-CC on

EDIT:

So I've been enabling/disabling stuff and uninstalling applications to find out the culprit. Looks like it was Titanium Backup. Rats. And I enjoy that program! I guess I can install it on a per use basis then uninstall it when not in use.

This is an awesome ROM build. It is definitely an improvement to the Cyanogen 6.0 build. Thanks to everyone involved. Was about to give up on 2.2, this makes the phone usuable again and much improved!

Great Work!
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
I would in fastboot type fastboot erase system -w which should erase everything hanging around.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
I just saw your edit I think it was a bad flash then. also if you are still using the MTD hacks stop it. you dont need them. they cause issues. Just my opinion.
[G1 Android Development] izzy001:
well i use the MTD hacks cuz i have bricked a g1 earlier this year and i am now afraid to brick this one too, so its the only alternative to Danger SPL at the moment, but if you think thats the cause then i can do some more reading to see of the safest way to upgrade my SPL. Thanks
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
I have always flashed the Radio / SPL by using the flashable zip file. Done it many times and never ran into an issue. Flash Radio first and then flash the SPL follow the tutorial I posted in the OP of the Rom Bible.

EDIT: follow this tutorial - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=625886

wow. i've got a vibrant now. needed something to put on my g1 as i'm selling it tomorrow. this is good. i miss froyo. and my g1. maybe he'll take my vibrant.....
[G1 Android Development] roneyz7:
Sorry for my noob question, i also use MTD part hack, how to stop it?

If i have to flash new rom, then i didnt flash FR-boot, the boot animation will not show as the original of that rom, it will show from the previous rom.
[G1 Android Development] izzy001:
Ok well wish me luck, if i dont reply in a few minutes, its becuz im bricked and have to wait 3 more weeks for my HD2
[G1 Android Development] _nobody:
when customizing the led notification, h ow do i make it blink fast rapidly?

mine seems to just light up really slow even when i set it on 2. is there any way to customize it like the app missed call?
[G1 Android Development] wkustu:
Plain or Plane?

Great rom. Just had to ask: did you mean "Leaving on a Jet PLANE"? Or am I missing some sort of pun?
[G1 Android Development] jkoenig00:
lol its cause its a PLAIN version
[G1 Android Development] izzy001:
I'm Alive... Thanks for your support
[G1 Android Development] izzy001:
That would cause the rom not to boot at all. Upgrade your SPL to Death and you won't need the patches.
[G1 Android Development] ftatv:
Hi someone has having issues with autorotation, my screen only autorotate in programs, in home app not.
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
really if you are using customMTD you need 1.33.2003 and preferably the latest 2.x radio (otherwise you may loose functionality) .. also it is needed to fastboot erase between roms or changing the virtual partition sizes.. (this is *not* optional particularly with custom MTD)

Safest way to go to 1.33.2003 for custom MTD (and/or safely switching between that and danger) is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6510019#post6510019 (T-Mobile and other ebi0 users ebi1 users must not flash 1.33.2003 unless they switch to ebi0 first..)

If you do decide to ignore that and flash danger via recovery please don't also ignore seeing a 2.x radio in hboot.. just before booting recovery and flashing absolutely nothing else may be done between checking the radio and flashing danger or gremlins will change the radio to 1.x on you..

(usually the gremlin is the user flashes rc29 which in turn flashes the 1.x radio causing a brick when death spl is flashed by the user. I'm tired of that story it comes from most of those asking me to jtag a phone back to life for them)
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Thank God! I was scared for a second at the thought that maybe no one got it... lol.
[G1 Android Development] iamanalog:
I might need to just keep trying but i can't seem to get a clean install with 2.0.1.

I've done both the fastboot and adb and when i get to the market after following the instructions the market just pretty much dies. i cant get it to install anything and even got a few fc's. Im going to attempt to do everything again and see.
[G1 Android Development] VolcanicSkunk:
I am having troubles with the market as well. It seems that whenever my WiFi is enabled, I am unable to download from the market. As soon as WiFi is disabled, the app begins to download/continues download (on Edge/3G). Not sure if this is the cause of anyone else's problems. Can someone else confirm this?
[G1 Android Development] iblaststatic2020:
I thought the same thing with a wifi connection but it just takes a really long time. It took about 5 minutes to update my google maps on wifi. Not really sure why but its definately feeling way slower than 3g.
[G1 Android Development] HawkiesZA:
I did the fastboot erase and then did a factory reset in recovery. That should wipe system, data and cache - basically all that was left over was my sd-card.

I thought it was a really weird bug so if you haven't wiped yet, try doing a logcat and send it to the devs - maybe it is something that can be fixed, heck, maybe they can explain it to me -_-
[G1 Android Development] coolloser:
Try clearing your proxy settings under "wireless & network settings"
[G1 Android Development] diorDNA:
I don't what's going on, ill do all the instructions to the T and when I try to flash 2.0.1 my g1 will get stuck on the g1 splash screen. The only time I've actually got 2.0.1 to fully boot up is when the sd ext didn't get cleanly unmounted or whatever. The only way I could get 2.0.0 to work is when I used the MT3G version. So my guess is that my phone is having some problem using apps2ext. Sorry if this is a noobish question but

Could someone tell me what FixFlash is? I've only heard of it on someones post prevously in the thread

And I'm willing to try anything right now
[G1 Android Development] kino13:
Ok, just for the record, I could flash the 2.01 on my Magic 32B yesterday.

I could do the 2.0 before as well, but it just worked slowly afterwards (after the google aps). Now it's pretty good.

No swap, JIT on, and the minimum CC just to keep the google talk service running.

I have also seen the "slow market download" issue with the room.
[G1 Android Development] mmoroz:
No luck here with 2.0.1 (first version I tried) :( I have:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H

HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP30000)

CPLD-10

RADIO-3.22.20.17

I followed all the instructions, but after I flashed the rom, the phone never booted (waited for 10 min) - it eventually went dark, without me being able to do anything.

I'm new to flashing Android, so I may have done something really stupid...

I can still use Fastboot.

Thank you...

[G1 Android Development] ZaneChua:
Okay, so i'm having problems with the phone again. Looks like i need to do a reflash. Messaging app keeps crashing on me on every load. >_> and i'm back to the bootanimation screen.

[G1 Android Development] jigdagod:
I followed the instructions in the OP and it's still not working for me on G1. I keep having to move my apps to sd using the settings, applications, manage applications way. I always get low memory warning messages. Is there anything else I can do?
[G1 Android Development] raven_raven:
Someone was asking if there is mistake in title of ROM, to be more precise in the word "Plain". I'm sure there is no mistake, this ROM tries to be as stock Froyo as can be, so this word is there to ephasize this. Nice word game btw ;).

My new SD Card (4GB class4) is coming to me this or next day, maybe this will fix my issues with ROMs not flashing properly and also increase speed of phone. My last try with 2.0 wasn't too succesfull, I gave up when after full day of configuring ROM simply didn't speed up, it was lagging all the time. Now I'm back on CM6 and it is running very well for me, maybe when I set a swap partition on a fast SD Card, use ext partition instead of MTD Part Hack and flash ROM from clean and shiny brand new SD Card everything will be great :D.

Hi there. I had same issue, but I think it was bad flash. I wiped, reflashed (had to push some files manually, but that's my G1 problem) and everything was working properly.
[G1 Android Development] :
The problem was the slow ass pace it took to rebuild my media list, I have over 600 songs on my card and then there are the tones. Now it's loaded its fine just had to be patient ;)

Didnt you read my post telling people who had to use the alternate method? Take it as no, search button is your friend... I am not! ;) hahahaha

PM me and will see what we can do, make sure you have adb install. If not do a search of this form 'adb for dummies' its so simple :)

I understand from the way you write that english is not your first language, but if I'm correct the problem is wifi connectivity problems? Any chance of a logcat?

Gotta ask, do you have an ext partition?

Cant believe that needed explaining to someone, I know I shouldn't laugh but hahahahahahahaha :D
[G1 Android Development] rdsport323:
I'm not sure if this problem is specific to Biffmod, but I've noticed that the MMS pictures I get now, when I save them to my SD Card, are like 40kb in size.

I was previously using Speedteams Eclair before this mod, and with that, saving MMS' the file size was 450kb.

Anyone know how to fix it so the pictures I receive are bigger in size?
[G1 Android Development] billquinn1:
Ditto on the slow Market / WIFI thing. I really think it is just the market though.
[G1 Android Development] VolcanicSkunk:
I don't think it's the market. I just reverted to CM 5.0.8 and the market works just fine on WiFi.

I also had some problems with multitasking. When playing music the phone slowed down to a crawl! Also, sometimes when opening a new app, the phone would cease playing music entirely. This would happen with the Audible app too. I've gotten lots of FC's with the audible app too. I also got several FC's while reading the Kindle app. The FC's usually happened when I had the phone clocked down to 480MHz to save on battery. With Audible I didn't clock the phone down and I still got FC's.
[G1 Android Development] fanbogo:
i have same problem with wifi transfer is very slow like 5kb/s

also the market have some problems with instalation / downloading it is very slow and make fc + laggy , almost all time i must click "wait"(in fc market)
[G1 Android Development] :
Here's the WIP for the add-on to the blue black theme, remember to nandroid/switchrom/bart backup before applying the framework-res.apk. I will get round to making a Metamorph when I have more of it finished. For now for the brave copy attached to root of sdcard and boot to recovery, goto console and enter the following...

mount system

mount sdcard

cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/

reboot

I'll be working on more on the framewrok/apps when I can, also all and any suggestions/criticisms are welcome.

hey shadowch31 what's new in this framework?
[G1 Android Development] :
The status bar icons have been changed to blue, well some of them.

Wifi

Alarm Clock

Battery

Lockscreen

USB

USB On

Signal Strength

And a few more I cant remember, if you dont like it tis a simple case of taking the framework-res.apk from the theme and apply it back over reversing any changes.
[G1 Android Development] geekoo:
OT: Dammit... all that I typed just got erased. Is there a way to prevent backspace from being the shortcut for the back button on the browser?

Back to Topic: I just installed Biffmod successfully. I am coming from SuperFroyo Lite battery saver which turns out to drain a lot more battery than CM6 that I had before. I wonder where all the saved battery went? Probably to a better cause than keeping my phone alive.

Anyway, I found that Biffmod has the best battery life among all Froyo ROMs (from the ROM bible of course) and here I am.

I have a few concerns already though.

First up, as others have already reported, the market is atrociously slow. It takes so long to bring up the agreement, to display the list of apps and finally to start downloading. I am using WiFi, but I have to test it on the EDGE data connection to check whether it is only a WiFi problem or a general market problem.

Secondly, I would like only 3 screens and not the default 5. This is not ADW or L-Pro and I am unable to find any option to reduce the number of screens. Is there some menu option that I am missing?

I also have a doubt on the 'Application Moving' option. Does this just let me choose any app that I wish to move to the SD card? Or does it install all the apps to the ext partition by itself?

Finally, has anyone experienced practically on this ROM whether swap is faster or compcache? I have a Class 6 card FYI.
[G1 Android Development] fabsn:
i can confirm that the market is awfully slow over wifi.

does the black theme work flawlessly with 2.0.1?
[G1 Android Development] dominilaos:
@geeko..

1. I have been using 2.0 since release date with no issues whatever with market place, but then again I have only used market over 3g/Edge. I have still have not been able to get wifi working on my phone, and this has been going on since the donut days.. So I really can't help you out there.

2. Biffmod 2.0 is currently using Launcher2. Which is the stock froyo launcher that comes with 5 screens and no customization options. I believe this was chosen due to the speed and smoothness, also to prevent home reloads. I opt'd for LauncherPro Plus which I have been using for a month or two now, setup to my likings and it is still running smooth and speedy with no home reloads. You should try out LauncherPro or ADWLauncher if you want customization options.

3. Application moving, Biffmod 2.0 has auto apps2ext. Which does work perfectly with no issues at all. I have installed and uninstalled numerous apps with no issues, my internal memory is still at 87-88mbs.

4. I am currently using CC set at default with shadows scripts to clear it atleast once every 1-2 days. I do not have swap enabled, JIT is not enabled, and surface dithering is also disabled. I have a 8gb class 4 sd card from Sandisk partitioned 128 swap/1024 ext4/remainder for fat32. I have not noticed any speed decreases and rom is still running super smooth with no foreclosures.
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
The market is slow. I've had wifi issues since 1.5, so I don't even bother anymore, as it's most likely a hardware issue.

This has the stock Froyo launcher. No options, but it's supposed to be faster and use less memory. It goes along with the Plain theme. You can always get ADW or Launcher pro and use it as your default. I use a flashed version of ADW that replaces the stock launcher. Let me know if you want it.

The Application moving option for when you want to move an app to the FAT partition of the SD card. Apps2EXT is automatic. You don't have to do anything. All your downloaded apps will go into the EXT partition.

Swap vs Compcache is a debate raging as fiercely as ADW vs Launcher Pro. You will never know what works for you until you try it. Personally, I can't tell the difference. My wife has CC and I have Swap. No difference, as far as I can tell.
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
Ok.. Running for a day now.. no themes.

MArket is slow... Wifi or 3g.. But my 3g speeds are now amazing. 2mb up/down where ts usualy half that..... Except, even though the speeds are quick, web browsing takes longer to load then a pc on dial up. There seems to be some serious memory leaks going on.

Just got out of the hospital having my appendix torn out so cant test much more, but these are the main problems.

The lag between hitting a button and response seems to have cut down but its still there.
[G1 Android Development] geekoo:
@all: Thanks everyone for your replies.

I've been on Cupcake stock, Donut stock, CM5, CM6, SuperFroyo and finally Biff and I have faced a slow market with only Biff. So I believe that there is no hardware issue and most probably only a software issue. I could help in anyway required to pinpoint the problem if someone wants to and knows how to fix the issue.

Ah well, I'll use the stock launcher for a few days and see if it warrants an alternative launcher. However the ROM is extremely slow, but I will put it through the run-settle-reboot cycle to let the ROM settle. Will give me time to test the battery too after a recalib.

Swap, CC, or Nothing. Neither of these 3 options +/- JIT have had any effect whatsoever on the responsiveness of my phone in the past. I have left swap on and will see what happens in the next few days. I've heard/read swap slows the phone down, so I will wait a few days and see if the performance doesn't improve much.

Super, auto apps2ext is good, though I prefer apps on my internal memory as it is faster, but I always run out of space within a few days. I'm running a CustomMTD, so I got some good space available.
[G1 Android Development] MetaBolic0:
Well i install 2.0 3times and from yesterday i already install the 2.0.1 2times. I configure everything, i already try with CC on/off with Swap on/off and JIT on like say in the OP, i install only the Blcak Blue theme and already try the shadowch31 framework.

I already use 2.0 2days and 2.0.1 1day and the only problems that i get is with notifications (every time i open notifications windows the phone freeze and reboot :( ) besides that the battery life seams not get much more then with CM6 (about 6-7h with normal utilizations only sms) and some lag with the touch responses with ADWLauncher.

So some one have any problems with notifications?! This is the only issue that reall bother me i use handcent maybe is from this i dont know.

I will flash again with Ohsaka wipe toturial and hope that this fix if not well i will return to CM6. I say something tomorrow after tests
[G1 Android Development] mmoroz:
It works now! The problem was the radio, and ezterry's patch fixed it!

Thank you!
[G1 Android Development] jerzy448:
Had biffmod 2.0.1 installed for 2 days. Everything was fine the 1st day. Now constant phone reboots, phone freezes after receiving a text and i have to pull battery. After pulling battery and rebooting stuck in a bootloop now. Missing texts till i reboot my phone.

I really want to like this rom just not stable enough for me right now. Will be back 2 try again after a update.

[G1 Android Development] bambi23:
First of, thanks for the work on the rom itself and now the themes! Just tried it now, its looking very good. It is truly becoming a black AND blue theme! Am not quite sure about the USB icon tho (but then again its your theme and your choice)...just out of curiosity, how easy is it to extend the customization to include the "settings" icons?
[G1 Android Development] iblaststatic2020:
I have been using this for about 10 minutes now I love the blue. Is there anyway to get rid of any more of the orange highlights like when you press the numbers in dialer or on the action buttons?
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
NinjaMorph ;)
[G1 Android Development] fabsn:
This rom has some major issues when receiving calls.

When I came home I had a "2 missed calls" notification. When I started the phone app though it said that the call list is empty! Which is a contradiction.

I wanted to reproduce the problem and called my phone (using my landline). Result: The phone rang 1 time and rebooted.

I love the rom; it's stable and fast as hell. But a phone that can't be called is...well no phone.
[G1 Android Development] :
As I have said this is a very early WIP and there is alot more to come, I have plans for phone.apk, settings.apk themeing adw launcher (may look at other launchers once happy with theme) the notifications bar and background, market, gmail, email and god knows what else takes my fancy and once I get to a state of having most of it done then I will happily start themeing individual apks for peeps :)

Expect alot more over the next few days and Bambi, I agree with you about the usb icon it is a little off but meh it looked good on photoshop lol
[G1 Android Development] MetaBolic0:
Well one of the most qualititys that make me whant to have Biffmode in my phone (and make me fight about one week to get it go without sucess yet) is your theme is simply BEUTIFULL!!!

And shadowch31 or knight if you can go to pag 176 on this thread and give me un opinion about all my try i will be very apreciat. Thanks
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Sweet Glad you got it working.

If you were using MTD part hack in the past that is your issue has previously said DONT USE THE MTD HACK!!!!! you dont need it. That was only good when apps2ext wasnt working. its pointless now and causes more problems then good. Cant wait to see your results with your new card. Also when you flashed it before the required/recommended setup is a Swap and ext partition so if you didnt have those then that could've been your problem along with using the MTD hack. Key words its a Hack....Hacks mean long drawn out ways to get to something and might not always be for the best. lol

Thanks Shadow31 I will build a quick no wipe zip file just to make it easier for people. lol

Like I just said above DONT USE THE MTD HACKS multiple people now have said when using they ran into issues then once they took it off there phone ran awesome. Re-flash Amon's recovery to remove it.
[G1 Android Development] burn317:
Noob question be warned!

So I follwed the install instructions for 2.0.1 and got all my apps installed my settings menu reads that I have 197 megs free for phone memory, is this correct for a mytouch 3g?

What's a good way to check the actual memory use and if I just move my apps to SD will it have a negative effect?
