[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Flashing this didn't work for me either. I had to use adb push. This is what I did:

Got the market installed following this: thread

Keyboard working after

adb remount
adb push libjni_latinime.so /system/lib
adb push LatinIME.apk /system/app

Reboot.
[G1 Android Development] Virgilus:
Yeahhh thanks. Pretty smooth and beautifull Market it's not compatible with fast web install.... Might go back soon :(

Best Rom Ever

A big shout out to the Team, best rom ever, I can finally say my G1 is working like it should with a froyo rom. It's light, responsive and fast.

Honestly I was thinking of upgrading to a Streak or the Captivate but I might just hold on now.

Though, I had a slight glitch with the multi touch keyb, but I reflashed it and now it's working again.

Can we do feature requests within reason of course.

Keep up the good work. Go team biffmod!!! :P
[G1 Android Development] :
Request away fella and glad your enjoying the rom.
[G1 Android Development] xdjneo:
After some more playing around I noticed, I am getting at least 25~40% more juice from my battery, loving it even more now :D

Request 1

Turn off hepatic on unlock swipe/slide:

If there's already a way to do this, then my apologies for being a moron :P

Request 2

Unlock to Phone & Unlock to Messaging, I think this option was added in the CM6.1 release

Also is it normal for the Max CPU Frequency to default back to 5xx mhz after a restart

If that's the case, how do I keep it from going back to the default
[G1 Android Development] HawkiesZA:
I don't think there's a way that's specific to the lock screen. You can try Settings -> Sound -> Haptic feedback, but I think that might disable haptics for all your soft keys.

I made the same request, and it's on the todo list :)

Yes, it's normal - I think they're working on a way to make it permanent. You can use SetCPU to set it on boot - the two ways don't interfere with each other.
[G1 Android Development] xdjneo:
Thanks for your reply mate :)

Turning off the hepatic from the settings, turns hepatic off except the lockscreen slide. People have been requesting this on other forums and hardware, I think I saw somebody with an update.zip patch for a legend here but I don't think it worked. It's nothing major just a minor nuisance, though it might save some battery

Where's the todo list? Would love to see it. :P

Might give the setCPU workaround a try

getting fc's on keyboard input

Oddly the fc's are back. Happens when trying to input words as opposed to characters e.g. email address input is fine but when say typing the word 'the' inputmethod.latin fc's

For some reason the multi touch keyboard is not running in services, instead it's the android keyboard.

Anybody else experiencing the same issue? I am going to wipe and reflash without the multi touch keyboard and report back
[G1 Android Development] BenDiesel:
im getting fc's on nearly everything i open. ive whiped rewhiped whiped again. not sure what else to do. i like this rom but its starting to be a pain in my butt!
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
If "everything" is force quiting on a clean install and you think you wiped please:

1) super wipe

2) restart recovery

3) flash the rom

4) run adb logcat as it boots

5) do not touch while booting give it 5min after the android appears

6) now continue as usual.. do not restore any old data.

If you still have problems copy ALL of the logcat into pastebin and include a link. Or we will think you are lying.
[G1 Android Development] xdjneo:
Request 3

Can we also get the new terminal emulator from CM 6.1 (Supports soft/onscreen keyboard)
[G1 Android Development] xdjneo:

Issues..

Just to let people know, I have been experiencing all kinds of FC's, freeze ups, boot loops and failures since installing the Gingerbread Market & Keyboard. Not sure if it's related or not but, my guess is it is.

The new market seems really slow. I think the graphics are nice but, seems to be too much for the G1 to handle at this time.

I plan to fully wipe & clean install later today.
[G1 Android Development] Virgilus:
I have experienced the same thing today. my phone was lying on the tablet and it's just keept rebooting every 1~3 minutes. And right now it's off because it won't boot anymore. I tired to do a nan restore, but there is an error and it's telling me to do nandroid-mobile.sh. I guess i will just rewipe and reflash the whole thing. Wtv the rom is still the best i've used :)

Can't wait to see biffmod with CM6.1, and then with gingerbread, but i guess we will have to wait until CM release a version under gingerbread.

Anyway, i've got a question,what is the best apps to replace handcent with? Because it's too slow with me.
[G1 Android Development] xdjneo:
Keyboard Force Close, possible fix

So last night I wiped and reflashed from scratch without the droidx keyboard, then I removed the two files LatinIme.apk and libjni_latinime.so (default android keyboard files)

Tried using the keyboards ported by kaos in the forum (link posted above)

It was a no go, keyboard kept FC

So I removed those keyboards, wipe cache and dalvik, flashed the keyboard zip from the first post and after almost 24 hours 4 - 6 reboots, I am happy to report it's working :)

On a side note my market is fine no slow downs or hangs etc. so I am not upgrading or playing around with fixes. I do remember having the problem with CM 6 RCs but some one suggested to turn off the backups so I have always had the backup off from then and my market probs went away.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
You could activate the menu unlock feature from the CM/Biff settings. You won't have the haptic feedback then.
[G1 Android Development] crzyaznkdxd:
I love this ROM. Like others have said before me, it makes my g1 feel like a brand new phone. The only problem, however, is my messaging app will crash. The stock, handcent, and gosms have all crashed on me at some point, leaving me unable to check or send any text messages at all. When starting any of the messaging applications I get a "this application has stopped unexpectedly" and tells me to force close. This persists until I restart at which point it will work again for an amount of time before the problem comes back. Does anyone know what's wrong?
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
Fastest so far.
[G1 Android Development] suberizedwrx:
Just overclocked using setcpu... BiffMod runs even faster now!

Find the setcpu apk files by typing the following in XDA:

""SetCPU for Root Users [2.0.4] It's over nine thousand 11/03/2010""

The next set of quotes is what you should type to view a youtube video that shows you how to create the doc file (literally a text file in windows) needed to set your CPU speed options.

"How to OverClock your G1 OR MyTouch to 650 MHZ!""

Piece of cake! :) For a second I was kinda missing my iphone b/c of some lag issues I was having with my G1...but between BiffMod and overclocking I'm totally satisfied.
[G1 Android Development] punshkin:
is this based on cm 6.1 final?
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
No...version 2.1 was released 11/4. I think it is 6.1 RC-1.

[G1 Android Development] ratchet789:
after my phone reset it self i have no gmail app my world is lost at the moment
[G1 Android Development] :
Hmm... Maybe there's one in the Market. ?!
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
That is bizarre!

I guess you are going to wipe and reinstall the ROM, gapps, etc?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
wiping dalvik is mostly pointless
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
you are getting mem confused

you mean internal storage, if you want more then uninstall apps

or do something smart like customMTD

but you are not smart enough, so forget I mentioned it
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
Market does not do anything with dalvik-cache

if dalvik-cache is miss matched, it get delete and recreated

if a dex file is broken, it gets fixed................................

wiping dalvik-cache is pointless
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Lost all my contacts...

Was on the phone for about 15 minutes with a friend. Hung up and went to call another friend whos name was in my contacts list. When I clicked her name a message appeared saying, "Contact does not exist". I then clicked another name and got the same message. Again and again, name after name. 44 contacts were good out of 297. So, I removed all accounts and re-synced everything. Still I had no contacts. Thinking it might be an issue with T-mobile, I gave them a call. They had no record of any issues and suggested it was an issue with the phone. So, I wiped and reflashed everything.

I left out the new market but, for some reason, the market updated on its own.

The only thing I installed was the Gingerbread keyboard (which i happen to like).

Still, my contacts did not come back. I logged into gmail on my pc, went to Contacts, selected "More Actions" and then Exported all my contacts to a VCard file, transferred that to my SD Card then, from my phone, went to Contacts, hit menu and Import/Export then chose Import fromSD Card and all my contacts were restored.

The problem is, I have no idea why my contacts disappeared to begin with and now, I have been adding accounts, letting them sync, wait a day, then add the next. I just added a 3rd GMail account and everything FC'd. GMail, Facebook, Sync, Market...everything. So, I rebooted and now, I wait forit to sync.

We shall see. :confused:
[G1 Android Development] arsonist63086:
think you miss under stood, im getting the low mem (55mb) after i flash the rom and gapp's file so in other words i have not installed any apps or updated anything... ive done wipe from recovery and also the flashable ohsaka super wipe and i still get the 55mb ... whats wrong or is it norm...
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
data = 89 ( ish )

dex files from system = roughly 31mb

89 - 31 = 58

3mb for the initial stuff in /data/data = 55mb

it is you who doesn't understand
[G1 Android Development] arsonist63086:
damn man your the best tech support guy................... so with out the bashing on the noob the answer to my question is the its norm to see about 55mb of app space on a fresh rom install .... ok
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
tech support is a job for people who read flash cards
[G1 Android Development] zot71:
Hi, this is my first post on xda-developers forum, compliments to all of you for the great work!

I've just some questions, i'm absolutely a beginner on android platform, so probably they are stupid questions. I've tried so many roms on my G1 but this is for me the best one. I've tried a Huawei Ideos too with the official AOSP Froyo and it's incredibly faster than our phone. How is it possible? Same cpu clock, smaller screen, no multitouch but more memory. Another question about memory. On my G1 i type "free" on the terminal and i see just 98432 total memory... where are the other 100Mb?!!?! I've tried the same command on a Motorola Milestone and i've got the total amount of memory. And why on the Ides i can switch between applications without having them closed and can't have the same on my G1?

Thanks alot for your attention and sorry for my english.

Bye to all!!

Just go to manage applications and clear data for that app :confused:

BiffMod's Retirement.

Right folks it’s no secret that we are short on numbers and well I’m feeling pretty much alone at the moment, Terry is mia working on his own rom, kernel and gingerbread, Ohsaka has moved on and is busy with family life so that pretty much leaves me alone on the rom building side of things. As I can’t even flash the rom or compile with github as it’s well and truly screwed I’m at a loss to sorting it as I’m a github virgin, so this means I’m hanging BiffMod up and retiring it. With christmas coming up and people getting ready for it I really can’t see anyone having the time or motivation to come on board and get it all sorted out. So from the BiffMod team we wish you all Merry Christmas and it’s been a pleasure working with you all and thanks for all your support.
[G1 Android Development] ra100x:
*sniff* thanks for this ROM

Still the best ROM for the G1. Kept it alive way longer than T-Mobile or HTC ever did. This was the only ROM I would consider putting on my G1 before I sold it. You guys had an amazing run, thanks for everything! :D

BIFFMOD will continue! Developers have come forward with plans to release an update to BiffMod, re-based to CM 6.1 and including other goodies they've been working on. See you in the New Year!
[G1 Android Development] ra100x:
wau, great news :)

will 2.2 be final BiffMod ROM?
[G1 Android Development] ryaninc:
Just flashed it, no problems. Welcome to the thunderdome? :-)

Thanks for the warning about the long boot time. You weren't kidding, it took a REALLY LONG TIME, I'd say at least 15-20 minutes. Anyone else flashing, seriously, just let it go. I was tempted to pull the battery more than once, but I didn't and all was good eventually. :cool:

After the second extra reboot, everything was back to normal, and apps2ext seems to be working fine. Thanks for the update! :D
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
I dont see why not, the only thing I changed was the theme. So everything should work perfectly. Let me know if it doesnt and I will look into it. Also I will make a black 1.6 version once I get off work.

Also Thank you for subscribing, and thank you for liking the videos. You guys keep watching and Devs keep making Roms I will keep reviewing and adding to the Rom Bible. :D

Ohh and let me know what you think, If you like it the way it is I will keep it like that if you want more black like Chromatic I can do that to.

Hello everyone, I came over from CM5. I wiped and all but my apps are not showing up. The only app that downloaded itself is google maps. All of my apps that i purchased are there by not downloaded. All of the free apps are not there at all. I rebooted several times but no luck. What am I doing wrong here......any help? Also, under settings>sdcard and phone storage should I being the ext there, is so Im not seeing. All is see total space and available space.

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] phiredrop:
K Biff,

Wiped from CM6 RC3 and 1.6 is running strong! I flashed the ROM, then the OC and rebooted. Digging the new boot animation, btw.

It didn't reboot as your OP says, and it also was fairly average, in my opinion, in terms of how long the overall process took.

One note - The phone started acting goofy with the CPU set to go all the way to 614, so I backed if off to 576 and it's pretty solid. ALSO I have compache on and JIT OFF (it scares me).

Anywho, excellent work as always.
[G1 Android Development] LinkinX:
Would love Black Bar for 1.6!

Maybe a update that isn't a complete reflash would be awesome
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
If its your first time on Froyo you will have to redownload all your apps. Its just how it goes. Also you will not see the EXT partition under the settings and phone storage menu. Maybe some day but not right now. Its been so hard to get Apps2EXT to work properly. Maybe someday we will get it. But not right now.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
I am working on 1.6 Black right now, I am doing a full black version, Hope you guys dont mind. If you just want the black bar version I can easily do that after this. Its going to be a copy of 1.6 so you should be able to flash it right on top. I will test it on my wifes phone first.
[G1 Android Development] jgme:
process system not responding

First off, love the rom. Runs great. Just installed 1.6 Wiped everything, but after the phone finally boots and i do my first slide to open, I get a process system is not responding, force close or wait. I click wait and all seems well, just wanted to ask is this normal?
[G1 Android Development] LinkinX:
2nd that I also get "process system is not responding" when it boots
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
You guys asked for it so here it is BiffMod V1.6 Black Version:

BiffMod V1.6 Black

Enjoy it. let me know if you run into any issues. Also you should be able to flash this right on top of the original V1.6, No Wipe. If you start running into issues though you know the what to do before post, Wipe reflash and see if the problem is still there.

And to help you guys out, Did you wipe the System in Fastboot, I have seen that FC come up when the system was not wiped. But if it only happened once you should be good. A logcat next time would help.
[G1 Android Development] LinkinX:
Thank you, will flash it 2M

Also yes I did a fastboot erase system -w

Not sure if its connected but I do have the mtd hack set at 70, 2

Flashed rom, then mtd boot

Didn't get the restart just the error when first boot, but otherwise running fast and smooth
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Yeah it could be the MTC hack. the restart doesn't happen anymore. But it sounds like you did everything right. So the only way to look at what was going on would be a log cat but if it hasn't happened since I would say don't worry about it.

Enjoy the Themed version.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
I did forget to add that you can download this, place it on the Root of your SDcard and import the XML inside Settings/CyanogenMod settings/User Interface/Tweaks Extras/Import colors from XML and then it will change all the text white. Or you can just go in and manually change everything.

Speed & Battery Life?

I noticed this Rom from AndroidSpin's RSS, and just had a few ??'s for those of you using this already. :) My 3 main concerns are

speed

,

stability

, and

battery life

. (Same concerns you all have, right?)

Anyway, I have been using SuperD and ZXTeam (both Android 1.6) because every time I try a 2.0+ Rom, I'm just not happy with especially the battery life (but speed, too). And I'm using a G1 (can't bring myself to spend for a Nexus One yet...but that's what I want!).

Have any of you come from SuperD or ZXTeam? How does the speed and battery life compare? I'm not a power user, but I do like the battery to easily last all day (not with heavy use, just low to moderate). I know probably no 2.0+ Rom will probably match the 1.6 speed, but at least close??

Zip Align was used in the past to speed things up...is that part of 2.0+ or can it be used? Is anyone using it? It seemed to me that made a lot of difference...or am I wrong?

I have flashed LOTS of Roms, and I will probably succumb to this one too :) but thought I would ask a couple questions first. What I have read looks good!

And, btw, thanks for the white theme. I'm not into all the extras and black themes (not a gamer, etc.).

Thanks for all your work!!
[G1 Android Development] smooth3d:
Every time I install this new biffmod it says my sd card is damaged, when I use version 4 of biffmod or use another rc3 based rom it works fine.
[G1 Android Development] athakur999:
I went from SuperD to Biffmod 1.5. Here were my impressions:

Speed: There's no getting around the fact that Froyo ROMs take up more memory than Donut ROMs. As long as you have enough free real memory to play with, I think Froyo is a bit faster than Donut. However, once you hit the point where the system has to start putting processes to sleep or hit swap, it slows down and that happens much more quickly with a Froyo ROM than it does with a Donut ROM.

Stability: I had a few random reboots with 1.5 and a fair amount of "process not responding" messages but very few actual FCs. Donut is still the king for stability though.

Battery Life: A bit worse than SuperD but not dramatically so. I'd say I lost about 2-3 hours of life from full to empty it's still good enough to get me through a waking day with moderate use with 20-30% left over.

Overall, I think Donut is still the best performer on our phones but if you want to use the new features in Froyo (native Exchange syncing w/ calendar support was the big one for me), it's not a big sacrifice to run it.
[G1 Android Development] jgme:
I think he means after changing the MTD the restart doesnt happen anymore, But the error still pops up whenever he manually restarts, it does for me. I did a system wipe also before the flash. Mine doesnt restart like his but I also dont have the MTD hack. How do I get my log cat?
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
If you wanted to see how this Rom compares to other Froyo Builds go look at the Rom Bible and look at the ratings I posted also you can watch the YouTube Video I posted. Now the video was from an earlier build but This Rom has only gotten better. I am going to update the Video soon and post a new one. But if you want something that compares to SuperD then BiffMod, SpeedTeam, or SuperF would be the 2.2 Roms to go.

Like the other guy said No!! Eclair Rom or Froyo Rom will ever hit the Stability/Battery Life of Donut. Donut was made to run on the G1 so its a perfect relationship. Both Eclair and Froyo were not we are only able to run them due to the great development teams that grace us with there talents. If you have flashed a lot of Roms before I would say just start flashing froyo Roms run them for a few days and see what you like about each one. Like I said earlier you can check my YouTube Video Channel to see how each Froyo Rom compares to each other. Good Luck

Ok, little confused, This Rom is a RC3 Rom, When does it say your SDcard is damaged? what is your setup? More info please.

Ok I gotcha, but if he isnt running into issues anymore ohh well then. But there are a few ways to get the logcat:

Follow the instructions here: Ways to get LogCat

Also from the Marketplace you can download either CatLog or aLogcat both are very good programs.

Sorry for the Long post.
