Before I installed this rom, location detection was working flawlessly on stock 1.6.. now, I get "location unavailable" whenever I try to use network based detection.

Is this due to the radio (updated to the version required in post 1), or the rom?

And most importantly, how do I get it back please?

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] bunu:
try fixing permissions

or just wipe and flash again
[G1 Android Development] MCMarc:
Hay guys thank you for the good rom:)

but i have a question.

I load the rom (with 2708 port) and I have the german G1 from T-mobile.

I follow the Install guide and all is perfectly.

But after time i can't see the lockscreen and press the home button.

I take reboot and then there is all new.As if I flash the rom new.

I'm sorry if there are any mistakes:D I'm from Germany:D
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
On first boot with new rom did you let the phone sit for 10 minutes before signing in? Wipe everything, reflash and try that. There are lots of background processes and "thinking" going on during the first boot so once it gets to the sign-in screen let it sit there for 10 minutes before you sign in and start setting up.

If you start setting up too soon you can cause all sorts of weird instability issues. I had an install of CM6 where half of my physical buttons didn't work because of that. Wipe, reflash and patiently waiting on first boot fixed it.
[G1 Android Development] MCMarc:
Oh thank you very much^^

it's great:D
[G1 Android Development] Bayton:
To add to my last message,

GTalk keeps disconnecting with the error :

Google Talk “Could Not Connect To Server. Will Retry Shortly”

It also stops syncing all mail.

Someone please help me.
[G1 Android Development] :
Have you done titanium restore or similar?
[G1 Android Development] Bayton:
No restores,

I wiped the system, and installed everything from scratch.

I'm thinking of wiping and starting again, perhaps?

Do you also know why it's not picking up location through cell towers?
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Post us some logcats on pastebin.com.

Preferably a logcat on your first boot. And then one when you try to sync or run Gtalk.
[G1 Android Development] suberizedwrx:
Hey there. Thanks for getting to my post so quickly. What permissions would I be looking to check?

I did reflash with a different Gapp and it fixed the calendar problem although my native gmail app now FC's. I solved the email issue by using K-9 email.

I tried copying and pasting the gmail apk from the Biffmod gapp zip to the zip that fixed the calendar for me but when I tried installing it through Amon, it said that it needed a signature. I guess my question now is, how can i make my own Gapp zip with my own choice of installed apks.

Thanks again!
[G1 Android Development] Bayton:
Thanks Ohsaka,

Here's trying to connect to GTalk (most important at the bottom of the log I see)

And here's on boot:

I hope you find something :)
[G1 Android Development] Bayton:
Hi again Ohsaka,

I decided to wipe and try again.

I ran your superwipe app 3 times, then did a boot menu listed wipe on everything a few more times to make sure everything was clean.

I just ran the installer, and after a boot cycle, the gapps update.

I first went to set up the APN, and noticed it was still there?

After so many wipes, I assumed everything would be gone. It seems everything else has been wiped..

Anyway, gtalk appeared to sync immediately, so far so good..

However, I still don't get network based location detection.

GPS is fine, over wifi is fine, but 3G won't do it.

Saying that, if I enable wifi, but don't connect to a network, it'll get location via 3G.

I'm so confused, words can't describe.. but it seems I need wifi on to get location on a 3G network..

3 changes could have caused this.. the SPL, the radio, or the ROM.

But it was working fine.

Hey this is a question towards updateing the radio and kenal I tryed entering fast boot after getting into the bootloader when I would click fastbook all that would happen is the screen would flash black for a second then it say fastboot USB I would unplug then it say normal fastboot but I don't have the new kenal or radio on my SD card could this be causing the problem?
[G1 Android Development] Bayton:
Back to square one.

Nothing syncs, Gtalk doesn't connect.

Taking the mick.

I'm reverting back to 1.6.
[G1 Android Development] suberizedwrx:
Thanks!

I did want to add an easier way to do what I was trying to do with the app.

Remember everyone, EXTRACT the contents of the Update Modifier App to your desktop. It will not work if run from within the zip file!

#1 extract the app to a folder on your desktop

#2 take the two Gapps that you're going to work with. Put all the files of one into a zip file that you create using your default windows functions (right click...create a zip). Delete the apps that are giving you grief. Replace the apps/apks with ones that should work from the second gapps zip.

#3 once finished, take the zip file on your desktop that you modified with the new Gapps and drop it on the script file found in the Updater create/modify application window.

#4 remember to add the com folder found in your old gapps zip to the META-INF folder found in the new gapps zip!

Is this a biffmod only mod or will it work for any froyo rom?
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
RE: Zip to delete 3D and add 2D gallery

It should work on all deodexed Froyo ROMs. I've used it with CM6 and BiffMod. I have no experience with it on odexed ROMS, like the MT3G OTA.
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
Ahhh, thanks, glad I asked!

So what exactly does odexing and deodexing mean anyway? I did some googling but couldn't fully understand the information I was reading.
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
I am FAR from expert here and

someone with much more knowledgeable please correct me if I'm wrong

, but you start with a .dex file. It is the format Google used to create Java virtual machine or

D

alvik

Ex

ecutable files that are put together to form an Android application or APK file. An ODEX file is an optimized Dex file. Stock ROMS leave the ODEX outside of the system APKs and install them directly to cache. It makes for a smaller ROM when installed and some say make Android more snappy (like MT3G OTA). Down side is it limits theming significantly and if you uninstall apps, you have to get the ODEX out too. A deodex file has the ODEX file moved inside of the APK. When the APK is installed, the ODEX file is copied to cache too, so now you have two copies copies of the odex, one in the apk and one in cache. This makes it possible to work on the apks and create themes, etc but makes the size of the installed ROM larger.
[G1 Android Development] fazco85:
hi all.... i'm new to ROMS, and is using biffmod for two weeks now. everything works great, except:

when i open the application screen, returning to home screen will take some time... only the ADW launcher appeared.... the rest of the icons comes very slowly. is this normal or is there any way to make it faster?

what settings do u guys use? can u recommend settings for improved performance on my G1? thanks.
[G1 Android Development] HawkiesZA:
Go to Settings -> cm6-BiffMod settings -> Performance settings and check the "Lock home in memory" option.

You can play around with swap and Compcache, but I've had and heard of mixed results. Swap is really only good if you have a good SD-card IMO (so obviously it would suck on my Class 2). Compcache can sometimes improve performance, but I currently have that off as well and BiffMod flies.

If you don't have SetCPU installed, consider doing that. I have mine set to 595 max and min at the moment and the battery life is OK, but you could get it much better if you set the min to something like 480 or 245 and the scaling to Interactive.

I also have profiles set up to set the speed to 176/176 if Temp > 50 (Priority 100), set the speed to 176/245 if the battery gets below 15% (Priority 75) and set the speed to 176/595 if the screen is off (Priority 50).

Play around with the performance settings to see what works best for you :)

Ahhh, thanks for that! Since I'm a speed and productivity whore it sounds like I'm better off with Odexed roms. My mt3g is my backup phone so I'll probably try that 3d-->2d gallery mod on the oem 2.2.1 to see if it works. Will report back.

Partition Layout

Only one noobish question, my partition Layout from other roms is:

FAT32/512EXT4/64MB Linux Swap (in that order)

In the rom info says:

Partition Layout: 32MB Linux-Swap/512MB EXT4/FAT32

Its the reverse order of my partition scheme and still holds for the 2708+ kernel?

Also 64MB swap its useless?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] nakeman:
Good to hear.

is it going to be containing 2708 kernel (and ready for SPL 1.33.0013d) ? :)
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
I'm bored..

I need something new. :D
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
You're perfectly fine.

Only the order that the partitions are made on the sd card is important, not the order it's written in on the OP... if it wasn't in the right order, you'd have had problems from the start with other ROMs.
[G1 Android Development] :
Updated the OP now, been meaning to do that for awhile. Don't forget just because I don't recommend swap which is a personal choice doesn't mean you don't have the freedom of choice to add it.

Bluetooth headset problem

Hey guys. Im having trouble with my plantronics explorer 390 bluetooth headset. I get the pairing ok, they both (headset and g1) recognize each other and when I call it says that its using/sending through the headset. Just that the sound still comes normally through the phone instead. The headset sounds like it starts the speaker in it, since low noise can be heard. :(

Tried putting restarting both bluetooth, headset and phone in all kinds of orders. Been googling and searching on xda plus in this biffmod thread, but all I find is how to get music through a mono headset and such. Otherwise unanswered questions. :confused:

This may be something just not working or already solved problem, but please share your help and info. Thanks! :)

Well this rom runs fine on Danger and please understand a rom can't brick your phone. As for that thread anyone that can follow simple instructions can update the radio and spl without issue, I've walked countless people through it without a single brick being made but you can't compensate for user error and inability to read and follow.

Hello,

First of all let me thank you for the great rom!

But its a strange situation with my G1 (32B)

T-mobile G1

HBOOT: 1.33.0013d

RADIO: 2.22.27.08

recovery: amonra 1.7

the same problem I have on all roms based on CM 5, 6:

G-apps work very laggy - market downloads 700kb app for 5 minutes, in google talk app messages I write appears with a 30 seconds delay, Gmail - freezes from time to time and so on.

Normally I install roms with full Wipe.

I've tried all kinds of wipe : ohsaka full wipe zip, fastboot erases, all options in recovery, manual deleting on .android folders on SD card ... etc.

But unfortunately result stays the same: as soon as flash gapps - it becomes laggy.

I've also tried different kernels - with the same result (or with booting loop :) )

its strange , but for example with this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=736361 - my phone work like a charm (except app2sd, that's why I am still changing roms).

So, maybe somebody knows why such things happen ?

And sorry , if this is a known issue - I've made really lots of searches - no success.

thanks in advance ;)
[G1 Android Development] klaydze:

Hello!

The rom was working really well up until this morning.

I wanted to try SuperFroyov8.4, so made a Nandroid backup +ext, made a fastboot erase system -w and then flashing Superfroyo. It didn't work... Stuck on my custom splash screen :)

So i just restored the backup i just made.

So erase again ( or maybe not, don't remmeber) and that's when my phone started to be crazy.

First of all, the home button didn't work anymore, tried to go and see in the biffmod settings and ADW launcher, but nothing was wrong.

Then i thought it was a good time to do the update i saw about the new radio.

I made everything that i was told to do fallowing the thread on the 2708 port, and then this thread to install biffmod.

BUT my home button isn't working. And my phone can't receive any calls but i can call. I'am on Rogers network in canada.

What should i do?
[G1 Android Development] ra100x:
I've had similar problem few hours ago,

this was my solution, with bugs, but fixed buttons :)

I fastboot erased phone, then flashed Biffmod 2.1 2708 port, let it boot, then rebooted to recovery and nand restored (I've had 2708 biff before, but wanted to try Gingerbread :)) and now, I have to configure biff settings again, but at least HOME and CALL buttons work :) and Lockscreen too
[G1 Android Development] Virgilus:
when you say fastbbot erase phone it's only fastboot erase system -w right?
[G1 Android Development] ra100x:
yes,

sorry for confusion,

I erased it like it is in guide how to flash this rom in first post :)
[G1 Android Development] Virgilus:
Reflashed the whole thing and it worked. I wanted start with a fresh system, that's why i didn't use my backup. But i would have used it if nothing were to work.
[G1 Android Development] klaydze:
is it usual to have 54MB free internal memory in a fresh wipe? its to small, because in some rom i have used if i do a fresh wipe my internal memory is around 84MB. even i checked the "Allow moving of App" it still eating my internal memory. Do i need to use the firerat script?

Thanks for the info sir. :D. Even though i have low internal memory it still fast. LOL

[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
by default the only thing on /data is dalvik-cache...

as stated in the op you can push it to sd-ext then /data will always remain near empty unless you use the ApkManager.sh script to move app back onto internal.

However this will have a speed penalty because your SD card regardless of class is slower than the internal flash.
[G1 Android Development] klaydze:
i think i will retain the data in "/data" for faster performance. :D

Gingerbread Market and Keyboard

A couple of folks over at the BM theme thread have asked about Gingerbread. I've been thinking about it. In my opinion, the Gingerbread status icons don't really do it for me and the default font is too small for my bifocals, but there are some other parts that are nice. After taking a few days to breath, I may see if I can port the port that Studjuice made of Krispy's Hero theme. It's at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=866127.

I did flash the new market and GB keyboard to my G1 and I like it! Below is a flashable zip with both if anyone would like to try it. Keep in mind the new market only give you 15 minutes to try an app before it is yours instead of a day. Make a Nandroid before you flash in case you don't like it.
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
Sisterchick posted the link, but I'll answer the other question too. Since the 2708 Radio, my battery life has been pretty bad. On average, my battery loses 15% an hour. The only change has been the new radio and hboot. I don't think it's my battery, but others have good battery life, so maybe it's a coincidence and my battery's dying. With a few ROMs (BiffMod 1.8 comes to mind), battery life was way off, and so was 1.9, but I calibrated the battery and it was fine. This time around it's not responding to that.

Then again, most people seem to get great battery life.

[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
* Biffmod has my 20101031 ebi0 kernel (well a re-compile of it but same source)

* The 2708 port has my 20101106 2708+ Ported kernel for use on the newer radios on 32B devices; with +14MB of ram over over the previous ebi0 kernel on the same 32B hardware.

There is no difference between installing biffmod then the 20101106 anykernel vs. just installing the 2708 port.. Its just merged into a single package for simplicity.

Since the core rom is unchanged (just the kernel) all themes for 2.1 work on both versions.

Oh i see. Thanks for the clarification sir.
