That's weird and above my paygrade why it is adding extra "B"s. I guess the patch was already applied and it added more? I didn't touch the script, just updated vending.apk. Here's what that portion of the install script reads:

#update build.prop

run_program("/sbin/sh","-c",

concat("cat /system/build.prop | ",

"sed 's/FRG83/FRG83B/g' | ",

"sed 's/passion-user 2.2 FRG83B 60505 release-keys/opal-user 2.2.1 FRG83B 69093 release-keys/g' | ",

"sed 's/fingerprint=google.*$/fingerprint=tmobile\/opal\/sapphire\/sapphire:2.2.1\/FRG83B\/69093:user\/release-keys/g' ",

" > /system/build.prop"));

run_program("/sbin/sh","-c","sync;sleep 5;sync");

I am absolutely no expert, but I wonder if you could pull/push and update the build.prop manually?

Looking forward to new tweaks. Been off charger for 7.5 hours now and battery still at 77%. MUCH BETTER. Only thing I wasn't able to do was turn off vibrate when the phone rings. It defaults back whenever you restart.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Hmm... that's weird about the vibrate. It shouldn't go back.

As for my issue... if all you did was update the vending, than I'll probably have to start with the orig gapps and then do your newer fix since I had already flashed the first version posted on the OP.

Trying to muck about with pulling and manually updating is way beyond my pay grade as well. I'm no where close to being even a newbie code-jockey.
[G1 Android Development] R3N0V4D0:
hey sisterchick i got the mm working on SuperBler V4 TY :)
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
@sisterchick

I finally got around to doing the market fix. It all went smoothly after I wiped, flashed the orig gapps then did your updated fix.

I didn't have the chance to updated my tips, obviously, I'll try to do it in pieces throughout the week.
[G1 Android Development] GZFan:
I also tried to MetaMorph, but it stucks at the framework.

Is there maybe a flashable zip I can try? Love the Minimalthemes...
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Sorry, I don't have a flashable. It got to be too much trying to keep up with flashables for a dozen themes on CM, BiffMod and Laszlo ROMS.

Metamorph can be picky, but I didn't have problems with it on BiffMod. What phone and SPL do you have? When was the last time you did a clean install?

On another note, anybody else have serious phone lag? I'm beginning to think I need to move ringtones internal to speed things up a bit.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
I've been having some lag issues as well. On Eclair I had no problems with ringtones living on the sd, but with the higher memory footprint of Froyo and our various background processes I think you've right... they should probably live on the internal space. I'll be doing the same on mine, in addition to dumping the ton of included rings and beeps that I don't use.
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Internal is generally faster than SD; however you may find some increase in speed if reads are in parallel (some data from SD some data from Internal)

The problem happens when you have too many things trying to read the SD card at the same time.

example:

1) swap (if enabled)

2) app data on SD

3) apk on SD

4) if enabled dalvik cache on SD

now you are adding some internal data such as ring tones to that list while it is also loading the phone sqlite database and if enabled swapping some of the phone task in from swap... this will cause delays.

So while any one of the items pushed to SD may speed things up even given SD is relatively slow because its using a diffrent "pipe" than the internal MTD storage..

if you have too much SD communication you will find slowdowns as you saturated that pipe. One reason why biff 2.1 kept dalvik cache on internal by default as it worked faster having it load from internal while the apk and data where on the SD.

(The theory to keep in mind anyway.. I'm not currently running biff)
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Thanks!

Thanks for the explanation, ezterry. That's helpful to know. Since I've left the swap default on, I went ahead and moved the couple of ringtones and notifications I use internal and deleted everything else. It seems to have helped with the lag between when the phone rings and the screen appears.

Skinny Boot Animation

I found a cool boot animation virajss had ported to MDPI resolution http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=966270, but found it used too much RAM because of the size (1.78MB) and made my phone boot slow. (Available memory after boot = 15mb.) So, I changed it to one static image

with no animation

. BiffMods' original boot animation was pretty small (124MB), but this one is tiny (20MB), leaving me with 22MB of available memory after boot. It starts up pretty zippy too.

All that to say, here it is a picture of what it looks like and a flashable zip is posted for download below.

my phone automatically reject the calls with out notification and shows me in the call log...only having issue with this build....radio 2.22.27.08 and danger spl are installed...
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
I'm no expert...but it could be the radio/SPL combination you are using. Radio 2.22.27.08 is intended for SPL 1.33.0013d. That might explain the problem you are having. It is not typical for this ROM.

[G1 Android Development] Virgilus:
Hey!

I came back to Biffmod two weeks ago because all the gingerbread roms are kind of buggy.

But i had two majors issues. The first one is when my phone got completly discharged and when i tried to boot it up, it just went into a bootloop. So i flashed it back just the way i did. It was a week ago. And today it just shut down , and then rebooted but the phone lost all my data that was on the SD i think.

I'am using the 2708 port, with Sisterchick mini gapps, the new kernel of Ezterry and the Market fix that Sisterchick provided.

I just Resintalled everything without the SD-ext partition. I'll let you now how it run.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Thanks for the awesome tips! I'm going to work it into my post somewhere, probably a couple of places...... when I get around to updating it... someday.

It's be a bad week for me... my electronics have been rebelling against me. Ha! I've been without a land line and internet for 2 days now due to crappy wiring in my building - except for when I tether. :D

I dumped my dish a few months ago, so everything streams through my PS3... and what's the next thing that dies -- my PS3. Yellow Light of Death. Just when I have the brilliant idea to WiFi tether it to my phone to see how Netflix and Hulu plays. Figures, eh?
[G1 Android Development] mrtausif2004:

[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
It should just auto-mount it... I didn't have to do anything special with mine. Have you tried wiping and reflashing?

(Some phone info is helpful too in the long run... signature usage is best.)

LP vs ADW

Just did some investigating and found that Launcher Pro seems to have a smaller memory footprint than ADW. I'll see if it holds up.
[G1 Android Development] azrash:
check out zeam launcher as well, very light on the resources

here zeam.org
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Thanks for the tip. I'm trying it out now. Not a bad little launcher!
[G1 Android Development] Effdee:
I'm using the paid adw

admittedly not with biffmod but seeing as I'm on gb it good for fr idk
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
I like ADW EX. It's a nice launcher, as is Launcher Pro. My needs are pretty simple. I'm trying to find the launcher with smallest memory footprint that still allows a bit of dock customization.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Check out the free Go Launcher Pro on the market. My wife found it last week... it's got TONS of options to play with. In fact, the entire Go suite is super customizable.

I'm not sure what the footprint is tho, she's got a rooted CLIQ with a fully deBlur'd vanilla Eclair so she usually has about 100mb of memory free at any given time. (Isn't that insane?!)
[G1 Android Development] FlyingShrapnel:
anyone else having extremely slow wifi connection issues? My wifi speed is in the kilobytes atm... :mad:

and i dont think its just the market being slow either, facebook is also quite slow...

radio 2.22.28.25

[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
If this is a sudden change, you should check out your wifi network.

Also, for those that have been patiently waiting for my tips update... I've started working on it. I've cleaned up and refreshed the ones that were already there for now - with new stuff coming soon. (I'm even more big on automating stuff these days - expect fun things to play with there.)
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Looking forward to it. Right now, I'm on a battery saving, memory boosting crusade - experimenting with launchers, radios, keyboards, apps, gapps, performance settings, boot animation, ROMS, etc.
[G1 Android Development] FlyingShrapnel:
my wifi network works fine, I did a speed test on my G1 as well and i got 2MBps+ would i be a market issue? :S
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Same here :D However so far I find the battery use on BiffMod (2708-version) very acceptable.

Only thing which once in a while happens is the acore process (well 2 of them actually) taking up 100% op CPU time. Well, according to Android System Info they are. When that occurs I *think* the battery-use increases. So I just restart the Launcher and the CPU-use is back to normal. This occurs using LauncherPro as well as ADW EX (which I'm using now). Not only on this ROM by the way but any other ROM I've tried recently.

Now trying to recalibrate the battery using this program, will see how this will impact battery life, if any :)

thanks for your help

Radio ...?

SPL ...?

Recovery ...?
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
While I really like ADW-EX and Launcher Pro, I've just switched to Zeam to free up some memory. I've been playing around with launchers, keyboards, kernels, etc and this is what has been working for me:

1) Zeam Launcher - works well and freed up a few MB of memory. Only thing I miss is being able to edit the desk icons, but I could live with that. (downloaded from Market and used Titanium Backup to remove old launcher)

2) Auto Memory Manager (from Market) - has helped both with memory and battery life. I'm using settings recommended by TShelley at BiffMod: http://xdaforums.com/show...postcount=1976

3) No compcache or swap - easier on battery and I've noticed no difference in performance

4) Uninstalled cache cleaner and SetCPU. (Got a few more MB of memory there)

5) Using Stock Android 2.21 keyboard - I love Swift keyboard, but it takes a chunk of memory, as do Better, Thumb, Swype, Gingerbread and DroidX

keyboards.

6) Using Ezterry 2708 kernel - easiest on the battery. Been testing Farmatito kernels too, but they are still harder on battery at this point

7) Moved my ringtones internal and deleted the ones I don't use

8) Changed to a static boot animation

9) Switched back to 2.22.27.08 radio from 2.22.28.25. I've read recently that the 2.22.27.08 would be better for those in the United States and 2.22.28.25 for those in other countries. I'm not clear on the explanation of why, but battery life was part of it. I've noticed no difference in reception.

9) Using Phone Prioritizer script that also cleans cache on reboot. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=558822

10) Deleted Voice Search, Voice Call apps using Titanium.

11) Deleted Google Search bar using Titanium

12) Deleted stock Browser and using Dolphin Mini. It's snappier and lightweight.

With all that going, I consistently have 24MB of free memory using either Laszlo or BiffMod roms and can make a long day without worrying about my battery. I still had 50% left last night when I plugged my phone in at bedtime.
[G1 Android Development] azrash:
hahaha that is why i decided to stick to zeam as well.

try opera mini for your browser, much2 more snappier than dolphin mini, and it uses less bandwith as well
[G1 Android Development] Virgilus:
Hey, thanks for the few tips, i am already using Zeam but I will try some of them soon.

For CPU underclocking, well Biffmod don't remember the settings after reboot. Is there a fix for that?

I see a lot of discussion here ( and other posts ) about using titanium to remove apps. I have reflashed and wiped several times.

[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Nope, no bunk. Here's a test for you. In terminal, type su then df -h. Take note of how much storage space you have left on system, etc. Exit and now delete something in Titanium that you do not want/use. Go back to terminal and type su then df -h again. You will see that the amount of storage space has increased, reflecting the app you deleted. Titanium does not simply delete the launcher shortcut. The effect on available memory will vary depending on the app deleted.

Thanks for the link but i already had it, but don't need all the options of SetCPU. And i want to use the cpu settings in biffmod settings, ba the settings reset after each reboot so i'am still hoping for a bugfix :)

Edit: On the other hand i have a HUUUUGGGGGEEE battery drain. I don't know what is the probleme bu it looks like my phone doesn't to be up 15% battery left, so it juste go crzy, use all the battery until 15%, get hot hot hot. and then i can hold for hours....... Well maybe it's not exactly true about the 15% but the heating is real and i don't know where it come from.

I use :Biffmod 2708 port.

New ezterry kernel that sisterchick pointer out few weeks ago.

Sisterchik light Gapps.

Biffmod Market fix, provided by sisterchick too i think.

No swap, no CC, no ext partition, no JIT, keeping launcher and sms in memory.

Using Zeam, no SetCPU.

I tried to reboot after disconnecting the phone from charging but it's still happening.

Does someone has a hint for me?
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
Try as follows:

- Switch off phone

- Plug in charger and charge until there's the green LED and a little more(+~1hour)

- Boot into recovery and wipe battery stats (I do it twice)

- Maybe wipe cache/dalvik cache (I do this after flashing a new kernel)

- Switch off phone

- Unplug charger

- Reboot and hope for the best;)

using farmatito latest kernal without bfs and battery is doin good so far. The bfs one is good but sometime swipe stutters. Best rom for dream hands down
[G1 Android Development] Effdee:
I'm not convinced the battery stats wipes do anything

as far as I can tell it is just a store of data for reporting and has no effect on the battery itself

and the second wipe will certainly do nothing. The battery stats wipe simply deletes a file. You can't delete something that doesn't exist.

and removing the dex files will do nothing either, it will increase boot time as the bytecode will have to get regenerated.

since this bytecode has nothing to do with the kernel you are just wasting your time for nothing

Honeybread Froyo Theme

I have not rec'd any feedback on anything that needed repair, so here's the final metamorph of the Honeybread Froyo theme.

Download: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6409094/Sist...read_Froyo.zip

Virajss has a nice Honeycomb boot animation to go with it if you'd like: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1005424

How to use Metamorph

Always Nandroid before flashing any theme.

1. Download and install the Metamorph app from the Android market.

2. Open Metamorph, allow checks and Superuser. Press menu, open settings and increase Metamorph Delay to 3500 or so.

3. If this is a new theme, choose Unzip/Extract new theme and navigate to downloaded theme zip file on your SD card.

4. Click on the zip file and Metamorph will extract the theme files automagically.

5. Information about the theme may be displayed. Select "Close" when done.

5. A list of all the sub-themes will be displayed. Click ‘Apply All!’

6. Select "Continue" to apply framework-res themed files.

7. Reboot if it doesn't happen automatically.

Tips:

- Once you have completed all the checks in the Metamorph, you can Disable startup checks in Metamorph settings. You can also Disable the warning regarding framework-res too.

- After you've Metamorphed once, you can delete the theme zip file from your SD card if you'd like. The extracted theme is saved in AndroidThemes on your SD card.

those steps are done to allow application moving(apps2ext). if im not mistaken, once you done it, and login to google, it will sync again, not sure though, its has been month since i flashed biffmod.

if you want to backup and restore your app, including the app's data, try titanium backup, highly recommend it!

biffmod would not have a newer version coming, shadowch31 recommends froyo for trout or froyo by lazlo, if biffmod were to continue, it would be like these two roms :)

Thanks for your Rom! I know that you develop a rom "without themes and all the other mess that comes with ROMS these days." but I would like to suggest for your next release that the Rom include a file manager at minimum... Very useful.

Thanks for the ROM! Works great on my gf's G1.

One question - her data icon now shows 'H' instead of '3G' and she feels the internet is "sloooooow" now. Is there any reason for this? My Froyo N1 showed '3G' not 'H'. Can we change it back or resolve the slow internet?

Also, is it possible to overclock this ROM, or any other tips to speed it up other than the first page instructions? I want to make her G1 as fast as possible! The OP says to flash OC from the d/l provided, but no d/l is provided from what I can see :-S
[G1 Android Development] azrash:
what is the radio and spl of the phone?

tbh, this rom is quite old, the latest froyo build in here is froyo by laszlo and these two roms are very similar, shadowch31 himself said that if biffmod were to continue, it would be like froyo by lazlo or froyo for trout. so your best bet is to go for either these two or ezterry's AOSP 2.2 OTA.

if you want the cm goodness go for froyo by laszlo. the only difference in ezterry's AOSP 2.2 ota and froyo for trout is that ezterry's is odexed, while froyo for trout is de-odexed
[G1 Android Development] CJSnet:
Thanks, I used the versions recommended:

Radio Required: 2.22.23.02

SPL Required: Death SPL

I short, what is the fastest ROM now available for the G1 that works basically like stock? This could be Gingerbread or Froyo based ;)
[G1 Android Development] azrash:
fastest froyo in order would be

1. ezterry's AOSP 2.2 OTA official release pro

pro-odexed, faster

cons-because of odexed cant really customise

2. froyo for trout

pro-de-odexed, easier to customise

3. froyo by laszlo

pro-ala-CM, but very light(built from sources), offer extra features by cyanogenmod and it also has magpie built in

you might also want to check out how to upgrade your spl and radio to gain an extra 14mb ram, on a g1, these are very precious :p link is at my sig,

all three are very fast and the speed difference is hardly noticeable.
[G1 Android Development] Effdee:
H is hsdpa

technically it's better than 3g

chances are it has always been connecting at hsdpa but the rom didn't have the coding to recognise it and switch the icon
[G1 Android Development] CJSnet:
Thanks, and if I want gingerbread (I hear it's faster and better battery), would you agree COS-DS http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=950765 is the best bet?

If I already have Biffmod installed, to get to COS-DS to I just use Clockwork to flash the new ROM's zip? Or do I need to go back to recovery, then flash the radio and hboot again?

Edit: And does it matter if I only have EXT3? If so, any easy way to get that to be EXT4?
