[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Weird...how long does it take for these issues to appear? I have been on 1.9 for over 24 hours with no weird shutdowns or reboots. I only had one reboot before and that is why I replaced the kernel with pershoots because the max is only 576 for that one and I like his kernel tweaks. :D
[G1 Android Development] plamic:
Killer rom, nice and fast with minimal problems. I especially appreciate the theme-free beauty of stock Froyo :)

The only issue I've had is setting the wallpaper from Gallery. Every time I select "set as" and then wallpaper, it force closes. Works fine from the home screen though, so not a huge deal.

I've also noticed that the headset icon on the notification bar is a little shoddy. Again it's not something that is very important, just thought I'd mention it so you guys can perfect you're already fantastic contribution.

Thanks again for the release. Can't wait for 2.0!
[G1 Android Development] cd993:
I flashed it last night for the first time and had a couple reboots over a couple hour period, then went to sleep and woke to find my phone turned off as mentionned. I have just done all the wipes, mtd patching process and allowed roms first boot to settle (10 minutes untouched). I woke the device up to select the setup screen and had to respond to a force close before I could do, hopefully not a sign of things to come! Configured the time etc and now leaving it another 10 minutes. Will reboot, configure google account, sync contacts, reboot, allow to sit and hope all goes well from there!
[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
I lub it, for those using MTD, you should expect various errors when using that method unless the devs approve using MTD with the rom.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Like G1forfun said flash pershots 576 kernal its more stable. I have this version running at 614 right off the back using dumfuqs kernal, faster yes but less stable. So if youi want to keep the 614 kernal make sure you use setcpu to change cpu speed. Version 2.0 is running pershots newest 576 kernal. The 614 will be a nowipe update.

I am glad you lub this protomenz, thanks. Also correct i dont use any MTD stuff in the Rom nor do I support it, with apps2ext working flawlessly you dont need it. in my experience using mtd i had yes more internal space but also issues.
[G1 Android Development] mekan:
Ok here we go...

I just followed the OP and flashed the regular ROM(without MTD) then flashed the 576 Kernel is booting up for the first time I'll give feedback in a while... after I set it up and do a couple of stuff to see if it happens again... Thanks for the quick reply Royal! You are the best! BTW im @jjortiz in twitter...
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Here is your chance to be an honorary beta tester if you are having the disappearing apps on every other boot problem.

Use "adb push" and put this file on your phone in the /system/etc/init.d/ directory. Dont forget to remount. And dont forget to make a backup first of the file you are overwriting. You will have to remove the extension and chmod it to 755.

If you dont understand the above paragraph, THEN DONT TEST IT!!! Once its verified we will release it for general public as v1.9.1.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Ok cool thanks bro, gotcha on twitter thanks for the follow and @ message, lol.

Now for the community, if you use Root Explorer and if you are getting some lag, try lowering your swappiness to 30 the directory is

system/etc/init.d/08Swap - Then change the 60 to 30. I am testing it now and it seems a little more snappy. Just heads up. We got some new and great ideas that have never been tried before set up for 2.0 so be ready to be blown away. :eek:
[G1 Android Development] SeriVolk:
@Royal

The thing is I am not even using an OC kernal. Just running the good ol 528. I have a theory which may pretain to turning USB debuging on or off. I turned it on again (turned it off after the setup) and I havent shut down all day.
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Heh, the 614 Mhz oc is built into the release. Install SetCPU and set it to "start on boot" and set your max to 576Mhz. :)
[G1 Android Development] SeriVolk:
Probably should have mentioned that I am still on biffmod 1.8 since I was trying to figure out the shutdown problem before updating. I don't renember if 1.8 has a OC kernel but I am running SetCPU and its max is 528 which is really odd now that I think about it since even with prior releases it would run a max of 576 if I recall correctly.
[G1 Android Development] Jbazt_katuforzs:
Been using this rom and there's no fc and it don't even shut down.
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Fix has been tested and verified internally! It appears to be due to a bug in Firerat's patch file. We will let him know about it as well as publish our own fix as 1.9.1 asap. There are a couple of other tune-ups that we going to put into 1.9.1.

Our plan is to make 1.9.1 a no-wipe update. ETA: 1-2 days.
[G1 Android Development] Jbazt_katuforzs:
Before this rom is the betaa 2.0 test2. I had the random boot issue but after flashing 1.9 last night, up to now I'm having no problems. In my opinion this is the best fixed for test 2. Just follow the instructions and make sure that when the setup menu choices appear after flashing just rom, ull choose the PROVISION(top) not the SETUP wizard(bottom) . The app2ext is working fine with 1.9.
[G1 Android Development] burn317:
This Rom has been working great since I flashed it until today. tried using Google maps and couldn't get the point I was attempting to reach to show info. then later tonight I got force closes when attempting to use the camera. any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] Jbazt_katuforzs:
Yes my setcpu is configured @ 614max and 528min and checked on demand with no fc and shutdowns plus I configured my advanced taskkiller to crazy and autokill when the screen is off.
[G1 Android Development] Jbazt_katuforzs:
I flashed the google maps update last night using recovery and I noticed all is working great!!! What's your gmaps version? And my camera is fine.
[G1 Android Development] Jbazt_katuforzs:
Here. Can't assign favorite on contacts. Can some1 confirm that?
[G1 Android Development] burn317:
Didn't even flash gapps but do have cyanogens latest, I'll give that a go.
[G1 Android Development] burn317:
Flashed cyanogens newest gapps and maps works great. Camera seems to work fine too.
[G1 Android Development] Jbazt_katuforzs:
N

Yep noticed it too. Before when it was the 2.0 beta test2 it uses the 3d viewer when you change the wallpaper from the gallery. Will remind royalknight to fix it on the next release. Try to install the 3d gallery a couple of pages back. Maybe it will fixed this issue
[G1 Android Development] diorDNA:
The rom was going great a few hours post boot but when i woke up this morning it was doing everything mentioned at the top of the thread like the battery problems and it not being able wake it up after screen timeout. Im gunna try flashing 2.0 test 5 and see what happens great other than that :)
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
i don`t understand why some are having problems and others don`t :)

so they probably do something different.

how i did ( i`m from the side with no problems :) ):

did all wipes in amon-ra recovery (5-6?)

flashed the rom. didn`t restored apps with titanium or something else. i have a folder with all apps (on sdcard) and reinstalled them.

set the cpu default on min 245mhz-max 528mhz, added 2 profiles: for screen off (130-245) and for battery <25% (176-384 with a lower priority than "screen off").

the firerat patch i guess that will show some results after reboot. so, after reboot i will have 87-89MB free on internal storage (didn`t installed the apps yet. just some "look" and performance settings). no compcache, no animation(or fast), no orientation sensor ( i don`t want to have a headake if i`m in a swinger or a rocking chair :) ).syncing with google ... installed the apps and ... that`s it.

i`m enjoying the rom :D
[G1 Android Development] diorDNA:
either it this takes a really long time to boot up or i messed up something along the way. and im running logcat on biffmod 2.0 test 5 everything keeps repeating itself and still no progress just stuck on Android boot image im about to give up :(
[G1 Android Development] :
For those with issues refer to my Eclair setup guide link in my sig as between Eclair and Froyo nothing has changed (must remember to update its title) also includes a PROPER AND FULL WIPING guide, recommended apps and settings and don't forget SETCPU! Also anyone who restores anything remember to run fix_permissions in terminal emulator.

I have mine clocked to 556mhz max and 245mhz min and this rom truly is THE best and most stable Froyo rom available to date!
[G1 Android Development] BPC48:
I use this ROM for two days. I had no problems with it except that "set as wallpaper from gallery" issue which is already have been mentioned. I had only two FCs (quadrant and talking cat) but i think it is just because I am using an old and slow 2GB SD card.

I did everything based on the OP. I am not using titanium backup. And I did not use setCPu to change the speed cause it works fine on 614 with the built-in OC kernel.

I like the idea of using the stock froyo launcher! It is not that customizable but fast as hell!

So I am new to these rom flashing things, but as a newbie I totally recommend this Rom for everyone (just be sure that you follow the instructions in the OP)

edit: and I almost forget two thanx for the whole squad (and big up for the funniest boot animation ever)
[G1 Android Development] cd993:
Well after FULL wipes (recovery, wipecache ect zip and fastboot), mtd recovery patch (I like to have everything installed on internal, dont have too many apps so they all fit after patch), flash rom, mtd boot patch, new kernel as suggested, left to boot and remain idle for 10 mins, reboot, allowed tp sit for 10 min, configure google account, sync, reboot and again left for 10 mins, everything was fine. It must be said, if this would/could make a difference, that I had the charger plugged in the whole time, but there was no force closes or no random reboots. I really thought it had worked properly this time!

Then.....

I went to bed taking out charger around 3am. It had full 100% charge, i had cleared battery stats too and then woke this morning a couple times to hearing it reboot to itself (DAMMIT!!). I couldn't be bothered doing anything then, went back to sleep. Woke up at 10:45am to see that there was only 45% battery left, the phone has only been "on" for 35 mins so it hasnt been that long since its last random reboot :(

I had SetCPU at 576/245 and 160 screen off profile. Have set it to 556/245 to see if that makes any difference, really wish it would stop rebooting!!

Other than this, i couldn't be happier and will be so so so glad when it stops doing it! Many thanks to the devs for this one :)
[G1 Android Development] Jbazt_katuforzs:
sent you pm. off topic
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
I am getting a little annoyed with Biffmod 2.0 Test X problems being posted here... The latest release is 1.9. We made a 1.9 release because the 2.0 Test X releases are BETA and not stable enough.

BiffMod 1.9 > Biffmod 2.0 Test X

Please stop running any of the 2.0 test versions and wipe/flash 1.9 version in the OP if you are having problems. If the Test X version is working for you, feel free to keep using it just please don't post problems here because it confuses things.
[G1 Android Development] mmarks:
Hi Ohsaka, I noticed your posting on the Firerat patch regarding the non-mounting of the SD-EXT partition. If this, in your opinion, related to my incidents I posted regarding all my Titanium restored apps going onto internal memory?

Mike
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
The only thing I can say to you guys is BiffMod 2.0 Test 5 is for my Beta Testers only and if you ask questions in here concerning test 5 they will not be answered and you will get flamed the only thing we support right now is Biff Mod V1.7.1, 1.8 and 1.9 anything to do with 2.0 is only for beta testers. So go ahead flash but if you run into problems be prepared to work through them yourselves. Sorry to be mean but that is why they are Test builds and that is why I have a Team of testers to Test the Rom before we release. So stop asking my beta Testers for help in Private messages concerning any Test builds that you happen to stumble across and flash.

I am glad you are enjoying V1.9 I am to. Its a great build. I agree that boot animation is awesome.
[G1 Android Development] istheGman:
Biffmod is still the best froyo variant for the G1... and the best boot animation! I'm digging the RGB at boot with the suggestion of an infinite loop to the left!
[G1 Android Development] mindstormmaster1:
Been using 1.9 for a few days now and it flies! And I just did the tweak to fix Firerats apps2ext and I now have apps every time I boot rather they every other time! Great rom keep up the good work.
[G1 Android Development] revo420:
I flashed this yesterday from 1.8 did FULL wipes! Let me say this is the best rom for the G1 out there PERIOD! It flies compared to 1.8 the boot animation is AWESOME! Do not change it please! Start up time is drastically reduced. Want this running at optimum speed? Do the following:

Flash from a full WIPE do not upgrade, this includes wiping battery, rotation stats etc.

Use SetCPU, I have it set to 160min 576 max at on demand, and set on boot.

Keep the widgets to a minimum.

All animations to off.

Disable surface dithering.

Lock home in memory.

Use JIT.

I do not use compcache, you may experiment and see what works best for you.

To keep the system even more tidy I use the following: Autokiller, Autostarts(paid), and Startup Auditor. Also I used "Chuck Norris Mode" in the donate version of Titanium Backup to force the removal of apps that I do not use. i.e. Voicesearch, google search etc

Keep up the great work guys!
[G1 Android Development] jasnmb:
I echo that 1.9 has been great for the two days I've been using it (after clocking it down to 595). And I'm not even using partitions ... 100% FAT32!
[G1 Android Development] athakur999:
Those of you using pershoot's kernels, do you use the regular one of the "xtra" one?

Anyway, I finally installed 1.9 and very happy so far. My last foray into Froyo was Biffmod 1.5 (back when CM6 was at RC2) and it worked pretty well but I started seeing lots of random reboots. So far 1.9 has been rock solid. If you were scared off by the instability of the CM6 RC's don't worry - this is a night and day difference.

I have a MyTouch with a 8GB class 6 card. I'm setup with 64MB swap and the rest FAT32 (i.e. no EXT partition) and otherwise the same JIT/compcache/etc. setup as in the OP.

One minor quibble - I originally had an EXT partition on my card from playing around with some other ROMs. After I installed 1.9, even though I did NOT have "allow application moving" enabled all of my apps ended up on the EXT partition. Does the "allow application moving" checkbox actually change anything? Not a big deal anyway since I just deleted my EXT partition and all is good again.

Otherwise, this ROM is great! Looking forward to 2.0 but my initial impression is that 1.9 is good enough to stand on its own.
[G1 Android Development] mekan:
This is just sad!

Well I've tried everything:

Flashed the ROM with OP instructions with no MTD and suggested Kernel

Flashed the ROM with OP instructions with no MTD and clocked with SetCPU to 576max

As I always restore with Titanium Backup Donate the last thing I did was to "fix_permissions" and I still get the shutdowns(no reboots at all). One thing I always notice is that when I plug the phone after the shutdown I get the red led as if battery was dead but when I boot up I see I have 82% of battery left even after unplugging the phone from AC. After that I can use it for a couple of minutes and it works and then the shutdown again(same thing again).

:confused: I really wonder what could this be...
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
If you are getting hard shutdowns, as opposed to reboots, then you may have a hardware issue. Even if the ROM is totally messed up, it would normally cause a kernel panic which triggers a reboot.
[G1 Android Development] KronicAnarchy:
Not trying to be a jerk or anything but I came to this rom from your "Bible" the ratings looked good, but I can't help but think there's a bit of personal bias to those ratings. With the issues I've seen on this thread, and the ones I experienced personally I think your stability rating should be a 4 at best. I'm not trying to dis your ROM, or the "Bible" but if you're going to rate ROMS I think a certain amount of personal detachment is required to be objective. I think you do great work and I and I'm sure many others appreciate your ratings on ROMS, and use them to guide us to make a decision. If you're biasing your ratings based on personal feelings that's not much help. I realize that to a large degree a good ROM or a bad ROM IS a personal choice, but things like stability are not a matter of "feeling". I personally loaded this ROM 4 times, following directions step by step, heck I even kept the page open during the entire process to make sure I was following instructions correctly. In all fairness, I didn't give it much time on vanilla, I installed the Resident Evil theme, went just fine even got it to work after reboot, until I booted again, bootloop, after bootloop ever since. Giving up and going back to Super Froyo 2.6 Battery Saver lite by Super@tmel. I found that ROM to be the most stable, and frankly IMO deserves a 5 for stability over this ROM. Sorry but that's just my opinion. Still appreciate all you do just asking for more objectivity in your assessment of ROMS.
[G1 Android Development] mekan:
The first time I posted this issue I asked if this could be the battery and if so how coul I get a crash report to see what caused the shutdown...
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
So because one ROM works for you and another one doesn't, that should affect their overall stability ratings? Did you send Pepsi a letter telling them to shutdown because you like Coke? :)

All ROMs have problems, somehow a beta version of Test5 leaked out and it seems most the problems in this thread are people using it instead of the stable 1.9 release. Which version were you trying?

Instead of advertising for other ROMs, do you think you could post some logcats of the problems you encountered?
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Wish I knew the answer on that one. Not sure where the phone records that info, if at all. If it shutdowns overnight, you could just leave it hooked up to a computer running logcat. The end of the logcat would show what happened at the end...
[G1 Android Development] mekan:
The thing is that this issue only occurs when the device is unplugged from AC or USB(Not charging) that's what makes me think it might be the battery...
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
i am wondering if the people that experienced problems with this rom, were trying a fresh install with a fresh formated sd-card ( after a previous backup, offcourse).

froyo from what i know works with the sdcard. and if there were data used on previous roms which can determine a kernel panic/reboots/FC or any other unwanted behaviour of the phone.

i used to had reboots with froyo roms if i turned on the wi-fi. now i`m don`t have anymore issues.

i don`t know if it is possible to be from the sdcard ( any partition ), from the previous rom or just some hardware flag that keeps influencing the flashed rom.

when you are in a boot-loop, what do you have to lose? :)

if there are some bulshits in my post and someone have the knowledge to cut them off from the list, please do so.
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
@KronicAnarchy

To add to what Ohsaka said, the rating on the Bible is for BiffMod 1.3, before RoyalKnight took over the development of the ROM. Even if he were to be biased, there's no example of that. Also, for every person having your issues, there are about five people like me who have been running this for a week without issues. Your attitude is unwarranted and unnecessary.
[G1 Android Development] Old_grinch:
how is battery game, last froy what i tried, was just eating my dream's battery, did u improov it ?
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
I've never had a battery problem with any ROM lately. Just install SetCPU and turn on profiles. Set the screen off profile to use a really low max Mhz...

Sometimes on a weekend, if I'm stuck somewhere I dont want to be, I will watch a bunch of movies or listen to music and surf the web. That will usually use up my entire battery in 3-4 hours. But that is just the nature of the beast. This is a 1st gen phone...
[G1 Android Development] winkerg1:
My battery is weird. It has been unplugged since 7am this morning and lasted until about 6pm and then I got the red battery....but it is still on now, so almost 4hrs on red with a phone call and some texting!!
[G1 Android Development] KronicAnarchy:
Ok, look as I said I wasn't trying to be jerk and I really do appreciate all the Knight gives to this community, I don't post much but I READ alot. I wasn't saying his ROM sucks, I was just questioning his reasoning/motives behind rating this ROM so high. Nor was I advertising for another ROM, hell it ain't like any of us gets paid for this. I was just using that ROM as an example. Clearly YOU didn't read my whole post as I said, I know that SOME of what those ratings are based on is personal taste, but stability is stability, a ROM either has it or it doesn't. I downloaded the link that said it was for 1.9 if I got test 5 by mistake,well I didn't upload the link.

No it specifically says Biffmod 1.9 in the thread you know just above the ratings.

Look I wasn't trying to flame or get flamed, I was just trying to ask Knight to think about whether or not he rated this particular ROM objectively.

It takes 37 muscles to frown :mad:

But it only takes 22 muscles to raise my middle finger and say bite me :D

To you Knight, I hope I didn't offend, I do appreciate your work and what you give to the community. Hope you took it all in the light in which it was meant, just constructive criticism.
[G1 Android Development] athakur999:
Sounds like you're in need of redoing your battery calibration. There's a guide at the end of this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6762470&postcount=208

The battery calibration affects your phone interprets the actual charge level of your battery when it displays a "% battery left" in the battery meter.
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
the calibration link from above or maybe you can watch out on the consumers. such as "percentage" on battery, or if you use the "power control" widget configure it with "disable sync when wi-fi goes off", disable 3g when you don`t need it (when you`re on wi-fi or not using the 3g data), the settings on the display brightness and others.
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Done. So far so good. Will keep you posted.

BTW, figured I'd share this easy way to do this without a computer using SUFBS:

Save the file to your SD card. open SUFBS and navigate to your SD card. Locate the file and press and hold it until a menu pops up. Select "Rename" and delete the .txt extension then click OK.

Then, press and hold the file again, until the menu pops up and select "CHMOD (075)".

Type "755" (without quotes) in the field and select OK.

Then, at the bottom of SUFBS, select "Term" to open the terminal application.

In terminal:

$su
#mount -o rw,remount /system/
#cp -f /sdcard/05mountsd /system/etc/init.d/
#mount -o ro,remount /system

That's it! Enjoy!

On v1.9 how do I get swap on, I have a 64mb swap partition.
[G1 Android Development] athakur999:
I didn't have to do anything to get swap working on mine. The init script for swap just picked it up automatically and started it.

Can you provide the output of the following two commands:

1. fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0

2. free
[G1 Android Development] :
Does anyone know of a simple black bar mod for this rom? I will get around to learning to theme one day :D
