Huraay Going to flash it in a sec! So glad i don't have to work today:D Going to test it all day!!

Can i also flash the rom when i whipe with amon 'ra instead of fastboot?
[G1 Android Development] XxKOLOHExX:
you need to wipe system or it will have some serious side affects lol :D
[G1 Android Development] RichieRichyRich:
Umm.....I'm trying to sign in, I don't have a data plan so I use my Wi-Fi, and it doesn't work. It says "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server". Any ideas how to fix it?

EDIT: Nvm i fixed it
[G1 Android Development] nickislauw:
WTFFFFFFFFFFFF

i just flashed it and did a full wipe but 2.0 is soooooooooo slow for me.

its just unusable man.

whats wrong :(:confused:??

it isnt normal cuz its sooo slow man.
[G1 Android Development] Gisiej:
Yes I understand:D But i cant use fastboot. And was just wondering if a full wipe with amon'ra recovery is enough
[G1 Android Development] XxKOLOHExX:
Did you wipe system? Did you follow the directions on the op?

Sadly no, Amon-Ra's recovery doesn't have support to wipe System,
[G1 Android Development] TL@:
Crap, I'm at work and can't play with Biffmod 2.0 till this evening, this is going to be a very long day.

When I get home, I'm going to do some serious testing.
[G1 Android Development] Gisiej:
Okay Thnx Just found out how i can use fastboot on my mac. So going to give it a swing in a minute! Hope it will work okay!
[G1 Android Development] XxKOLOHExX:
Alright :D, if you hvae adb installed correctly you can do it that way
[G1 Android Development] Gisiej:
thnxxxxx :D:D
[G1 Android Development] kino13:
The .zip file with the format commands wipedatacachesystem.zip does not work anymore?

I tried to use it, and is also slooooow.
[G1 Android Development] XxKOLOHExX:
No Problemo :D :D
[G1 Android Development] cheezusweezel:
OK, you just said it, but: without fastboot--wipe (instead of AmonRA) I can't flash Biffmod 2.0 ???

That's sad ... :(
[G1 Android Development] XxKOLOHExX:
Nope it doesn't, On froyo that way leaves some files in the phone that aren't supposed to be there causing unknown side affects. One is causing the phone to be slow :( try this command if you have adb installed

adb shell mount -a; rm -rf /system/*; rm -rf /data/*; rm -rf /cache/*;

You can also move use Rom Manager to flash another recovery that allows system wiping
[G1 Android Development] Gisiej:
I get permession denied.. What to do now?
[G1 Android Development] XxKOLOHExX:
Permission denied from an adb command?
[G1 Android Development] badboy68:
how can u guys make such a perfect rom, but not flash it in amon ra. i have 1.7 amon ra. i dnt know any fastboot or adb, i have been doing all my flashes through recovery, come on?
[G1 Android Development] :
Sorry for paying no attention to what's being said but what about volume down, home back and power for system wipe then use amon ra to wipe the rest? Its how I always do it with perfect results.
[G1 Android Development] XxKOLOHExX:
You can flash through Amon_Ra no problem, But you need to wipe system partition where all the information is at and Amon_ra recovery doesn't wipe that partition, He left it up to the Developers to add a line to wipe the System Partition, and now that line of code doesn't clean the system partition fully on a froyo rom.

We apologize for the inconvenience,

Sincerely,

BiffMod Team
[G1 Android Development] badboy68:
so we can do this through AMON RAS RECOVERY?
[G1 Android Development] Gisiej:
rm -rf /system/*;Used this one and it worked .....i thought and then i saw everywhere permission denied. and the rest of the codes didnt do anything.
[G1 Android Development] XxKOLOHExX:
LMFAO you can do that to wipe system,, Hmm that would have helped like 2 pages back haha LOL :P
[G1 Android Development] XxKOLOHExX:
OOO you mean like Lost+found can't be deleted, thats normal haha :D flash away if that was the error
[G1 Android Development] badboy68:
so what other options do we have to wipe that partition, we have to download rom manager? thanks for the reply kolohe
[G1 Android Development] Gisiej:
How do you know it worked? do you have to press buttons for a few seconds or something?
[G1 Android Development] Gisiej:
OKay :D:D THNX again hahah:D
[G1 Android Development] :
Meh I have just woken up lol

Besides I did actually mention this method about 30 pages ago but of course no-one paid any attention :D
[G1 Android Development] XxKOLOHExX:
3 Ways to Wipe System Partition

3 Ways to Wipe System Partition

1.) Volume down, home back and power for system wipe then use amon ra to wipe the rest

2.) fastboot erase system -w

3.) adb shell mount -a; rm -rf /system/*;
[G1 Android Development] XxKOLOHExX:
LOL :P

Np :D Hopefully all goes well :D
[G1 Android Development] :
Press and hold volume down, home, back and press and release power keeping others pressed, a white screen appears asking do you want to clear storage, follow on screen instruction.
[G1 Android Development] mmarks:
I tried the vol down etc. wipe on my G! - The screen stays blank and the LED goes a purple colour and that's it!

Does that mean it worked or not?
[G1 Android Development] Gisiej:
Okay that worked quit nice:) Maybe i already wiped it with fastboot but just to be sure i used this one aswell.

Thanks for explaining again saw your explanation of this wipe stuff a few days ago but with 125 pages it was a little difficult to find it again! HAHA
[G1 Android Development] :
2.0 is out. I've been waiting for this. :D Thanks to everyone who put work into this ROM.
[G1 Android Development] :
Nope that means you did it wrong.

Again i'll say, press and KEEP pressed volume down, back & home, whilst keeping them pressed down hit the power key (just press and release) and keep holding the other three.
[G1 Android Development] eXase:
Does this ROM require an EXT partition?
[G1 Android Development] francozappa:
update

Hi,

There is a possibility to upgrade from version 1.9.2 to version 2.0 without a wipe?

Thx
[G1 Android Development] nakeman:
Sorry for being dummy..

so if doing right, what is the next shown on the screen (or is there a statement that telling sucessful?)

Thanks again :)
[G1 Android Development] Gisiej:
How long does the first boot take? Still stuck on g1 screen.
[G1 Android Development] NLJ:
Nope it doesn't require it tho without it you loose most of features (apps2sdext, cache and dalvik-cache on sdext) And if you don't have ext partition chances are that you don't have swap either. Please at least enable CompCache (in Cyanogenmod settings).

You are welcome to try but I suspect you will have plethora of FC =o( Especially if you have apps on sd-ext.

Probably running fix_permissions script will help. And don't use the one in recovery mode. It won't work properly I think. Be sure to reboot your phone after fix_permissions.

@bassbox:

Could you please re-wipe and re-flash again?

And what did you mean with "but as every 2nd or 3rd version i get this error while booting" ?

Generally SIGSEGV is rather sign of some hardware dying slowly (in unix world that is). Could be bad flash too =o(

Unfortunatelly I don't have any real solution =o(
[G1 Android Development] p4sqd:
So, I have one (silly i think) question. After i'm done with system partition wipe, I can install this ROM just like every other - via Amor_ra recovery, right?
[G1 Android Development] eXase:
I use a MT3G so I maintain a 0/32 ext/swap partition since I'm satisfied with my internal memory, in any case I can't seem to boot. Same error as the fellow above; some error with the audio framework?
[G1 Android Development] :
Yeah just remember to wipe in amon ra all options. For a proper wiping guide once within amon ra check my sig.
[G1 Android Development] vermaekansh:
thanks man for your help.

i havent used fastboot before and but this method will seriously help me to erase my system.
[G1 Android Development] :
No problem, I always do it twice just to make sure. Second time is easier as once you press the reboot just press and hold the three again without needing to hit power as it will load straight back into it, clean, reboot and press home till phone vibrates, let go and it boots to recovery. From there wipe as normal :)
[G1 Android Development] ochavtec:
Hi, I flashed 2.0 and Good feeling! :D

Does 2.0 correspond to the themes?

The theme was not applied though some themes were installed.
[G1 Android Development] bassbox:
Well, some revisions of this build e.g. worked. some did never (tried it 3-4times)

mmmh :-/
[G1 Android Development] Gisiej:
Did al the wiping al over again and flashed zip. installed ok but on reboot still stuck on G1 screen.. Don't know what went wrong.

Already flashed a biffmod ROM and that worked fine...Somebody any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] LuckyJ26:
This rom is AMAZING!!! It boots really fast...
[G1 Android Development] NLJ:
Still can't make heads or toes out of it.. What revisions?

Basically this is CyanogenMod with some things tweaked/changed but none of this changes touches Zygote proccess even remotely.

As i wrote earlier. Wipe your phone (especially /system partition - fastboot method or the one posted by Shadow few posts above) and try again. It's either some leftovers from previous ROM stuck in /system or something wrong with your hardware (nothing else comes to my mind)
[G1 Android Development] cheezusweezel:
Can someone post some first impressions, please ? Especially in comparison to Biffmod 1.9.2 ?
[G1 Android Development] :
Take heart in knowing even I'm having problems getting it to boot! But I am trying to run a modified version so off to wipe again and try the full version. Hi ho, hi ho its off a flashing I go :D

Edit : Stopped being lazy and logcatted the boot up...

I//system/xbin/busybox( 61): rm: can't remove '/data/dalvik-cache/*': No such

file or directory

Thats where mine is falling down, can you confirm with logcat of your own?
[G1 Android Development] Gisiej:
Tried to flash another rom that should work fine. Still stuck..at g1screen.. Going to do all te wiping again but think something is wrong:P

Don't know how to see my logcat. Trying to now!
[G1 Android Development] :
Check out ADB for dummies in this forum, explains all and makes it nice and easy to set up :)
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
what chances do i have to install/flash this rom without using usb (isn`t working).

did all wipes in amon-ra 1.7.0

flashed it with no errors, but i`m stucked in g1 boot screen (for over 10 minutes). i assume that without gapps the g1 screen will be around 4-5 minutes.

flashed again 1.9, it works. 2.0 ... didn`t want to.

i even removed old folders from fat partition.

what next ?

anybody?
[G1 Android Development] :
Is there anyone with a G1 that has this running?

I have a funny feeling all those that have this running are using the mt3g version.
[G1 Android Development] eXase:
No luck with my Magic
[G1 Android Development] mmarks:
I have a G1 and it is running. Just restoring my 63 apps with Titanium now.

Seemed to have no problems so far.
[G1 Android Development] ryaninc:
Yep, it's working great on my G1. I just flashed it, flashed GApps, and am now reinstalling stuff, setting ringtones, etc. No problems whatsoever, and it definitely seems faster. :D
[G1 Android Development] LuckyJ26:
It's running on my g1 perfectly fine. I followed your technique to do the system wipe and let Amon Ra's recovery wipe the rest. Then followed the instructions on the OP... I'm loving the rom so far. It's blazing fast and smooth.
[G1 Android Development] nickislauw:
lol 9 mb ram left.
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
what have you flashed? the g1 version or mt3g version of the rom?
[G1 Android Development] BPC48:
The same here. I've flashed the G1 version and it works well.
[G1 Android Development] ryaninc:
I flashed the G1 version. :cool:

As an aside, I love the new feature of sliding individual notifications to remove them. It's a tiny little thing, but it's really nice.
[G1 Android Development] :
Well bang goes that Idea lol

Well time to redownload and try again :D
[G1 Android Development] slim00:
Followed all of the steps and flashed the G1 version. Kinda sluggish at first, and kept freezing on me. Fix_permissions seem to have done the trick. Running Fast and Smooth.
[G1 Android Development] CHERNAB0G:
so i tried he g1 version but got caught on the splash screen, so i tried the mt3g version and also got stuck on the splash screen...but this time i ran one of those log cats everyone finds so popular and i have no idea how to read it.....help?
[G1 Android Development] Bzerk1:
FAST! ive never played fruit ninja so fast and responsive on my g1 EVER! and also the UI has some new things, like it will sort your widgets according to the app it comes from, the 3g does feel faster aswell. 2.0 is a MUST! i'll let you know more when i find out more lol.
[G1 Android Development] :
Your having the same problem as me, I'll let you know when I have it figured out :)
[G1 Android Development] cheezusweezel:
Thx !!! ;)
[G1 Android Development] CHERNAB0G:
thanks a bunch, if it helps, i just ran a log cat on the g1 version and got this:
[G1 Android Development] :
Yeah as I said exact same problem here, even when I mount data and give it something to delete it still hangs. Man im not even awake yet, I can still taste the toothpaste!

But dont worry, I never quit without a fight!

:D
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Biff-tastic!!

After a full wipe & Re-partition, I flashed and installed v2.0. At first, it was a bit sluggish but, got faster by the minute. Followed the installation instructions exact and had to reboot a couple times in order for everything to work properly. But, NO issues with TitaniumBackup Batch restore...NO FC's..NO reboots (So far)...No issues.

Excellent work and I really LOVE the wallpapers!! <3

~I chose Swap...just sayin!

:D:D:D
[G1 Android Development] NLJ:
This error:

/system/xbin/busybox( 61): rm: can't remove '/data/dalvik-cache/*': No such file or directory

is harmless.

It will popup on every reboot.

And certainly it's not the cause of problems. Is this the last line in logcat? Nothing else?

Can some of you that have problems check if they have /sd-ext/userinit.sh or /sd-ext/userinit.d ? and if so what's in them
[G1 Android Development] eXase:
I'm not even getting a logcat; thats epic...
[G1 Android Development] CHERNAB0G:
yeah, it just sits there....my g1 has been on the splash screen for about 20 minutes now, the log cat reads nothing new
[G1 Android Development] :
It may be harmless but its what its showing as last line with nothing afterwards.

Its perfect!!! Glad they decided to make this update. I'm using g1 version. And all is working supersmooth with allmy apps installed. I set CC to default and its much smoother than enabling swap (for me). Very much satisfied!!
[G1 Android Development] ivans13:
Working fine on my G1 so far.., much better than 1.9 that started lagging near the end.
[G1 Android Development] Jbazt_katuforzs:
I format my sd first

Wipe all in the recovery

System erase using adb

Reparition my sd in recovery

Upgrade ext2-ext3

Upgrade ext3-ext4

Repair partion

Transfer the G1 rom then flash.
[G1 Android Development] HyunJoon:
FINALLY BIFFMOD 2!!! THANK YOU. Will flash it now :D
[G1 Android Development] :
Just backing up my sdcard and will try again from a clean card with only the rom on the fat32 and an ext3 partition. Will update once done.
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
i tried. no results.
[G1 Android Development] Jbazt_katuforzs:
Running A1 condition with all apps restored 5 screens with full of widgets/shortcuts/ect.. and wow!! it feels like the speed of superD. The only difference is I'm on froyo :D
[G1 Android Development] eXase:
Could somebody whos managed to get everything installed and running upload a nandroid?

Who hasn't logged into Gapps of course

Edit: Ok I have no idea how come this worked, but after the 1000000th attempt of wiping and flashing... its worked?
[G1 Android Development] leojai:
any comment on battery life?
[G1 Android Development] ZaneChua:
How about you upload the nandroid now? ;) And you're using the MT3G version right?
[G1 Android Development] eXase:
But I'm selfish :p Nah, I'll try. Yup MT3G
[G1 Android Development] KronicAnarchy:
Does anyone know if the Black and Blue Theme works on this version?

Also anyone tried navigation, I got a couple of random reboots while using it on 1.9.2
[G1 Android Development] bassbox:
same error on the 4th try ):
[G1 Android Development] HyunJoon:
does anybody have problems with downloading apps from the market? it says me error couldn't download
[G1 Android Development] Jbazt_katuforzs:
I'm using the black/blue theme with no issues. Haven't tried the navigation. I'm using the G1 version
[G1 Android Development] Jbazt_katuforzs:
Having no problems with market. I've Just download a file manager, barcode scanner, peeples, fake chrome, twitter with ease. Maybe its just your isp
[G1 Android Development] KronicAnarchy:
Awesome thanks

I'm gonna try the MT3G, *fingers crossed*
[G1 Android Development] Jbazt_katuforzs:
Just tried it maps is working fine, places is ok but the. Navigation sez its not available on my location, and it does gave me fc upon exiting. 1st fc so far. When I'm on 1.9 I installed the brut maps from this section and navigation is working fine. Ill try to install it here when I get home.
[G1 Android Development] Jbazt_katuforzs:
5-10 pages back I remembered royalknight talking about how's the battery.
[G1 Android Development] :
To all those still having problems we are continuing our efforts to get it resolved, you haven't been forgotten about :)
[G1 Android Development] nakeman:
Thanks :)

Besides waiting, i am still trying round and round. :o
[G1 Android Development] CHERNAB0G:
same, i tried wipe, flash, wipe, flash but now not even the log cat wants to work
[G1 Android Development] Gisiej:
Thnx :D :D Lookin forward to it:D Still tryin to flash it haha:D
[G1 Android Development] ibraheeemz:
Hi

I was anxiously waiting for the rom since two weeks or so. But an honest feedback is, IT HAS DISAPPOINTED me. A lot of force closes and very much slow. I am not sure if only I have the issue but the rest of the users should confirm.

All the impression that I got during last two weeks by the step by step post for the rom has vanished with its use.
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
if you find anything, please think also about those who can`t use adb :D (i`m one of them. not because i don`t know but i have some phisically issues with the usb on the phone ( i think ))
[G1 Android Development] mindstormmaster1:
I have been running this rom for a while now and it runs great so dont let peoples problems scare you from trying it because it does work and it works well so try it and unless you are part of the few who have trouble you are sure to love it!
[G1 Android Development] Jbazt_katuforzs:
What version did you flashed. I'm having no issues/FCs with the G1 version.
[G1 Android Development] CHERNAB0G:
latest attempt:

-backup sd card

-partition sd card (128mb swap, 512mb ext, remainder fat32)

-ext2 to ext3

-ext3 to ext4

-copy rom to sd

-full wipe

-flash rom

-rebooting phone

-opening logcat

logcat is....empty?
