That sounds about right. I've got 80-or-so apps on my phone, and it's sitting at 167mb free. Aside from the awesomeness of the app having all the major settings in one place, Quick Settings also displays at the top how much is free on the phone and on the fat partition of your SD.

For a myTouch, there isn't any reason to use the SD for apps... there is plenty of internal memory on the phone itself.......... so go nuts! :eek:
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
I'm pretty busy at work and won't be replying much this week. I haven't forgotten you guys!

BTW, I see alot of people talking about pulling their battery....

Does everyone know about the hard reset button sequence? I call it the "3 finger salute". Press and hold Green(Send) and Red(Power) buttons and then press menu a few times.

I have yet to get to a point where the hard reset won't work. I know its not much consolation since the phone locked up, but you don't have to mess with the battery at least.

Genie Widget

Hey,

Does anybody know of/have a copy of a geniewidget.apk (news and weather) that works on this rom? the one i have just FC's as soon as you open it or try to add the widget!
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Just posted in the OP a flashable zip of Shadow3`'s version of the Black and Blue theme. enjoy. Thanks Shadow for you dedication and work on this rom. "You are a gentleman and a scholar." lol

Yes its a No wipe just like all the themes, so enjoy.
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
on "/system/bin/erase_image system" i get "mtd: erase failure at 0x01b00000"

any advice?
[G1 Android Development] scrapin240:
question?

will the g1 roms work on the g2 or is there going to be totally separate roms for the g2?
[G1 Android Development] iblaststatic2020:
That's awesome! I can't wait to see it.
[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
Completely off topic.

It doesn't take common sense to know that all newer devices have different ways of being rooted/installing roms.
[G1 Android Development] Fredrick_Falcon:
Wipe Instructions needed on first page?

Can't you just use ra to wipe everything? What do the other methods do that amon-ra dose not?
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
You have a bad block at 0x01b00000 .. continue this is not really a problem bad blocks are common the file system knows how to avoid them..

Just continue flashing the rom

(If it was in boot however I'd want to know if the rom fails to boot)
[G1 Android Development] Fredrick_Falcon:
Best Pic for the situation

Love it.:D
[G1 Android Development] flip3547:
Best answer available. But no, they won't work.
[G1 Android Development] SEALBoy:
Is it included in the ROM somewhere or do I have to get it elsewhere?

I like ADW a lot but it seems the system persistent thing doesn't work very well.
[G1 Android Development] DroidDavi:
im not sure if its in the rom once biff or royal come back they should be able to help you alot more that i can
[G1 Android Development] motoman234:
Are you guys asking if launcher2 is included? If thats what your asking then your answer is yes, check out the first post for the commands to replace adw with it.

Quote from biff: To use Launcher2 you'll need to reboot into recovery and go to the console.

>mount /system

>rm /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk

>reboot
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Holy Crap that made me laugh, But yes moto is right Launcher2 is included in Biffs rom follow those steps that are in the OP or the ones Moto posted. make sure you do it in Console via Recovery. Do not do it in Terminal. Still one of the best Froyo Roms out there. I actually have no idea why launcher2 isnt included in more froyo roms its so smooth with no issues. the only other rom that has it is SuperF
[G1 Android Development] cameron.t90:
real nooby question here..

i went into console and tried mounting adwlauncher.apk but when i try and mount system it says sh permission denied

why is that?
[G1 Android Development] cameron.t90:
ignore the last post, delete if possible lol

awesome rom, thanks!

the only problem ive noticed is a couple times the camcorder would record sound but no video, sup with that? lol thanks for any help

keep up the great work!
[G1 Android Development] fritzmann:
WOW! What is happening to my magic. Insane fast! Thank you for this.

fantastic! works great! everythink works so far and great speed! and no stuff i wouldnt use neither
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
With all the things you've removed from the base rom, does this still require Danger, or will your rom fit stock spl as is as well? tia
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
Excuse my ignorance gentlemen.

But how do I install apps to sd-ext? I followed infinitybiff's instructions verbatim, but after I reinstalled some of my apps I was greeted with a "Low on space" message. I checked my sd-ext partition and the only thing there is dalvik-cache and userinit.d.

I'd really appreciate some help.
[G1 Android Development] ryaninc:
The maps fix for 1.3 is a really weird process, but it did work. I had to go through it at least 10 times, hitting Places, force close...hitting Latitude, force close...hitting Maps, force close...hitting Places, force close...etc. but it eventually loaded Latitude without error and then maps worked fine.

This is an incredibly fast ROM, I am really liking it. Thanks again! :D
[G1 Android Development] stlouie65:
Yes this is an incredibly fast ROM, and this fixed my map FC's!

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] domex2k:
I couldn't agreed more,i do not get any loading screens with launcher2:D
[G1 Android Development] fritzmann:
opera is not working but it is a nightly issue i think...(read in an other forum about it) but i don't care...it is sooo fast and stable...!
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Your cool man, the apps2ext is new to everybody cause its not the same as it used to be. After your apps all got installed did you restart your phone? After a restart they will all be moved to your ext partition. Try that and let me know.
[G1 Android Development] tucka20:
Hi RoyalKnight. Loving this rom, much faster than previous. However, after a Titanium Backup, I was low on space, so I rebooted, but it still tells me I am low on space even though I have rebooted many times.

I have tried Firerats dc2x and sdext to try and kick start it, but no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Jordan
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Hold On, Give credit to infinitybiff its his Rom not mine, I just like helping people out especially on a Rom I like. So with that said How is your SDCard set up? Are you using Firerats MTD Hacks? Did you make sure you checked in Cyanmod settings able to move apps.

infinitybiff I still love this Rom. Coming back to it right now, I need something thats fast before I head off to work.
[G1 Android Development] tucka20:
Apologies, credit goes to Biff for rom, it is amazing!

Anyway, yep app moving is on with set to auto. I don't use MTD partitions (used to, but have changed roms and recovery since, wiped system etc) and have 64swap, 512 ext 3 and rest fat, swap works fine)
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Ok good sounds like you got everything right. Only thing I would say is ext3 - ext4 try that. Give me a sec I just switched back to biifmod i will let you know it was working before for me
[G1 Android Development] fritzmann:
if it helps you...for me it doesn't work too. But it is less important because with my magic 32b i still have 200mb free after installing apps...!

CM moving apps enabled, SWAP 32mb works fine, no MTD Script, tried ext3 and 4....nothing moves, but i think it is better for me stay on intern space...!

just wanted to taste the feeling of apps2ext ;)
[G1 Android Development] buldzio:
New apk

New phone.apk its a great idea, all i need its phone.apk with T9 and contact sender :D
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Totally awesome. Love it. lol

exactly, Hoping though the G2 will sorta be like the Nexus in rooting.

Um as previously stated I have no idea how many times, at least a dozen...Amon does not get rid of System Memory (system partition) you need to use the other methods to clear that. The best one I have found to use is Fastboot using ADB just in my opinion. For Froyo to work right Froyo likes having a nice clean everything. so yes you wipe in amon but you need to wipe system also. Great question just asked and answered multiple times.
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
bm201 fails. many other roms, don`t. so ... what`s next ?

i`ve just find out why i can`t use adb. it seems that i have to inssist on the screws ( with a screwdriver ) of the phone case, a little bit.
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Without a logcat and fastboot erase?

Try wiping the ext partition (option under wipe in RA recovery)

Re-wipe with erase-image as you just tried.. then reflash.

Obviously backup anything needed on the ext partition first
[G1 Android Development] felix1234:
I have RA 1.7.0, Radio 2.22.23.02, SPL 1.33.2003 and customMTD 1.5.3. So I just flash RA 1.7.0 again over fastboot? Do I need to reinstall the rom? Install DangerSPL?
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
If you got 1.33.2003 from my g1boot.zip do the following:

1) boot into fastboot

2) 'fastboot flash hboot hboot-1_33_2005.img' (using the file from my g1.zip; please check its checksum from the notes.txt also in the zip file)

3) 'fastboot reboot-bootloader'

4) 'fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img'

5) 'fastboot erase system -w'

6) 'fastboot erase boot'

7) 'fastboot oem powerdown'

8) boot recovery and flash biffmod

I suspect the problem with customMTD + biffmod is all the bind mounts biff mod does .. when added to firerats bind mounts for customMTD provides either a link to nowhere or an overlap.. but I'm not sure as I have not tried the combo.
[G1 Android Development] diorDNA:
Wow I tried the same method as you and I had the same exact error you did and 2.0.1 still didn't boot past the g1 screen I wish I knew what was wrong

Another debate for Android users...

I'm currently running without any memory manager and just running Watchdog (FREE VERSION) in the background. Will report findings after a day or so.

Posted here so hopefully some others will give it a try and report back.
[G1 Android Development] geekoo:
Hmmm.... is that so? How then do I remove the MTD Hack? Is it sufficient that I just reflash the recovery? I would have to go through the entire process of reflashing the ROM after that right?
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
You have to re-flash recovery and yes, re-patrician your sd card and re-flash the rom. Also, make sure you do a full wipe prior to everything.
[G1 Android Development] mitsu3000gt:
is there anyway to get flash on this rom??...
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
No flash on G1. The processor does not support it.
[G1 Android Development] felix1234:
Thanks. I did use your files before. Guess I will be flashing Biffmod for the 3rd time.
[G1 Android Development] Poweruser75:
Very slow

I don't know why, but i have tried this rom about 5 different time threw the different versions and it's always been slow. now when i plug in my usb it does a constant reboot. I've been installing roms for a long time now and will just have to pass this one up. it looks and seems really good though for all the users it works for. best wishes man and keep up the good work. sad thing is the G1 is nearing it's end for Rom development so it's probably time to think about upgrading my phone to something faster :)
[G1 Android Development] diorDNA:
Well I finally got 2.0 to work but it wasn't the most conventional way lol. My brother's g1 booted perfectly when he flashed it on his so naturally I was jealous but I got an idea, I made a nandroid backup on his phone and copied and pasted it on my sdcard and restored it on mine and now I'm enjoying the plain ride lol. this is a great rom good work :)

Biffmod 2.0.1 - For me its best

Hi Biffmod Team,

i've installed your newest Mod. Thank you very much.

This ist the first mod for me, that 100 % runs perfect,

I have problems with cyan 5.0.8 (no camera, youtube ...)

With cyan 6.0.0 i have network problem and performance too.

With your mod, all thinks work prober.

I use compcache, swap is very slow.

Your short instructions a perfect too.

Thanks. Bye.

Bootblock

Anyone else's call log/dialer/contact open real slow? it takes about 5 seconds.

yesterday i had it open almost instant for 1 day.

i have JIT and 32mb Swamp @576mhz

[G1 Android Development] vermaekansh:
general question

I donno if i get the asnwer of my question here...

With most of the froyo rom which are in testing phase or stable my market and browser didnot work properly as my market not able to download apps and sometime show download paused and browser not able to show any web page displays web page not found.

It is only working with the CM6 stable and there Gapps tiny 20100816.

same with the biffmod i flased as the OP says but my market and browser didnt worked as mesntioned above.

I dont have logcat.

can anyone suggest me sth so that i can try and make my market and browser run with this ROM.
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
this will be the future of flashing roms. i guess i can try it too. :) what do i have to lose ?

so: anyone can give me a bart on nand backup archive (i guess i prefer bart if i have to choose)? if anyone can give the backup of rom only, without gapps, contacts, personal messages or any other personal data :)

later edit: Problem solved!
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
It Really boggles my mind on how people can't follow simple instructions and flash a ROM properly.. Sheesh..:confused::confused::confused::confused: And Boy your ROM boots get stranger and stranger with these Roms lol but i love the originality. Ptolly gonna run this 2.0.1 all weekend. Laters. And if i hate it, ill make shure to let you guys know. :p;)
[G1 Android Development] diorDNA:
I noticed that I was having some of the same exact problems you were having, I was able to get 2.0 running prior to this but it would never boot up with apps2ext enabled and when i was able to get the rom to work I had to jump through all kinds of hoops like doing 3/4 of the erase methods and flashing the update-cm and letting it settle then flash gapps and if I was lucky then 2.0 might boot up.

If someone gives you a backup that has all of the personal stuff, all you have to do is just do a factory reset after you restore the backup. The only thing that will be there is gapps just not signed in yet depending if they flashed it or not.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Very, VERY annoyed with the speed of the login screen.. Slowest ive ever logged into this phone in my life. And its laggy. AND its not logging me into my account. Very slow starting ROM. Im praying it speeds up.
[G1 Android Development] fabsn:
Am I the only one having these problems?

I have to add that I'm not using any mods/themes/task killers or anything...just the plain rom after a full wipe.
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
yeah, me too.

i`m not affraid to flash an os with other`s personal data, but i don`t want them to be vulnerable just because i`ll read their sms with their personal problems :). i`ll wipe it anyway but ... it is nice to flash smaller images, more close to original version :)
[G1 Android Development] mitsu3000gt:
i know that G1 is slow to use flash but this 2.1 rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=746667 includes flash in default browser...

i've tried that rom out n found out it's not that stable n fast as bifmod so i switched back...

guessing that if flash could work on 2.1 rom....it could work on froyo as well?..
[G1 Android Development] fcisco13:
Very different rom bro, if you want flash (not full flash in reality) try a hero rom.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Major connectivity issues with this rom.apps will download but won't install.. Took about Halfl an hour to finally sync the gmail and contacts etc etc..
[G1 Android Development] SamZzz:
You are welcome.. and THANK YOU for putting the effort into it that you obviously have. Had one minor hiccup yesterday with the phone freezing up, but I was able to clear it out using the "Long Press to Kill" option and a quick reboot to get everything back in line. Still fewer reboots that any other Froyo I've ran. :)
[G1 Android Development] scorpioo:

[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
欢迎你

我们很高兴你喜欢它！
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
So I stayed up late last night working on getting this running...

I followed the quick flashing guide by Ohsaka, using the first system wipe method. All was going well, until I tried swapping out the stock launcher for ADW.

I installed the latest CM6 system version, which went all right, but when I rebooted it was back to the stock launcher - but with all the desktop stuff from ADW (I restored my settings from my CE install). So, I reinstalled ADW then ran the remove script for the stock launcher... and got stuck with acore FCs.

No fault on the ROM or the instructions... I'm guessing that this newest ADW actually installs over the stock, since it gave a warning that it was replacing a system app and the script killed some part of it.

At this point, it was 11p - so I plugged my phone back in, rebooted to recovery and BART'd back to CE. Of course, I was a bonehead and didn't think of doing a BART after the Biff base and GApps were installed... so I'll have to start from scratch on Saturday as I wait for the wife's car in the shop. Ha! This next time, I'll use the recovery flashable version of 1.0.1... then run the script... then upgrade to the newer one. (Unless someone has a better method to suggest.)

Also, has anyone had issues with Swype on FroYo? I've got the official beta, and on the site faq it says pulling down the latest installer should work... but it kept running in the "limited" mode when I tried it on this and CM6.
[G1 Android Development] scorpioo:
Oh, man, 你太有趣了 ;D
[G1 Android Development] Lateralos:
It's pretty fast so far thanks, a bit buggy with the camera, force closed on me the first time i needed it and had to restart, but other than that, a solid daily ROM. I wonder how this stacks up to an eclair ROM like SuperE.

Magic 32B

Biff 2.0.1

Flashed as instructed, No JIT, using CC
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
I found a solution for anyone having issues with Swype. On their forum, buried in the known issues thread, they say to use swap before running the installer... then you can turn it back off if you don't want it.

I'll try it out tomorrow when I give Biff a second go and report back.
[G1 Android Development] biglo:
Yeah I read this as well but I haven't really put it to the test as yet. I think that all apps should just have an option to ask if you want to close or keep in the background when you press the home or back button, instead of having a taskmanager decide for you.
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
ok. got the bart backup from my girlfriend`s phone and restored on mine. her was continental edition but `till now there`s no problem. bmx4lfe, 10x for the ideea :)

i`m finally glad to see bm201 on my phone. i was the last one?
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Watchdog is super fail!!!

It doesn't do anything at all. That lifehacker article might as well be a paid infomercial.

My phone has been super laggy since removing Auto Memory Manager.

This test is over. Winner: Auto Memory Manager...

FURTHERMORE....

I have been having trouble with a certain web page: http://traffic.houstontranstar.org/layers/

Its a real time traffic page for my town. I like to use it as a benchmark for performance. Once the whole image loads, I try to scroll around the page (I have my browser set to not open in overview mode).

With Watchdog installed (and using 10MB of memory), the browser would FC on this page. Now without Watchdog or AMM installed, page loads and scrolls fine.

Watchdog is SUPER SUPER FAIL on the G1 at this point..
[G1 Android Development] diorDNA:
I'm glad it worked for you too. It just sucks that we had to go through so much just to get it to work on our g1s, I wasn't gunna give up until this was fully functional on my phone, its greatest rom that I have ever flashed on my g1 period :)
[G1 Android Development] MetaBolic0:
Well after about one week and about 5 installations i think im already get the ROM run smoth on my phone!!! :D

I have it install about 1day and untill now seams to work, the only problem i see is everytime i reboot the phone when he is charging when reboot the battery is full!!!! But soon i get the charger off the battery go to fast!!!! This is normal?

Another thing just for curiosity what happens if i try to move one apps to the SD card from the applications settings?! That will make any problem with Apps2sd?
[G1 Android Development] xploder270:
The browser is basically useless with normal sized pages. Scrolling is almost impossible :/

Opera Mini works great, though.
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Random Reboots & Boot Loops

I wiped everything, re-parted my SD Card and installed BiffMOD v2.0.1.

I sync'd and installed only SUFBS from the market.

I have been getting random reboots and boot loops out of nowhere. I have not even restored anything from backup, yet.

Any ideas?

***EDIT: Nevermind...went back to v2.0
[G1 Android Development] can teh man:
This is easily the best FroYo rom I've used yet.

I have a myTouch3g with the engineering SPL installed and AmonRA recovery.

For whatever reason, 2.0 runs MUCH smoother than 2.0.1 and thats okay with me.

Swap (96mb) ON, Compcache OFF, JIT OFF, Surface Dithering OFF, Home in Memory ON, Messaging in Memory ON
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
What ROM were you running before this one?
[G1 Android Development] noodles2224:
can anyone confirm please if its just my phone or need a higher class SD, using original 2gb class 2, having all settings as OP.. im on the phone, check my email and reply to them as its craigslist offers ( so have to reply quick ) receive SMS too all this during my phone call but everything is slow, on screen keyboard is slow to show up, typing is slow, switching to SMS is slow.. overall, honestly.. people have said, 2.x is just not meant to be on our phones.. i think people exagerate too much nowadays to show respect. this aint fast. all this on mytouch 3g, latest radio, amon 1.7.0, that 2gb sd, simple setup... no OC,CC at default, notice renice isnt working well.. use shadows script every boot, 2 widget..
[G1 Android Development] droidmage:
The memory card would definitely make a difference, probably pretty significant. I have a class six and my g1 runs pretty fast. If you don't want to upgrade your sd card repartition it without ext and see if it runs faster.
