hats off to allan for the wonderfull theme. now blue is applied to the system. the blue wallpaper after flashing the theme is normal. youll choose the desired wp for your background. THERES NO WRONG WITH THE THEME!!!

changed my launcher to adw from the market and so far... all is working fine.

tip: after you install adw go to ADWSettings > Theme preference > select your theme > choose gala s theme and your screen will be like what allan posted in the previous page. it will also make your drawer transparent making your homescreen's wallpaper be your drawer's background as well but royalnight haven't included the launcher coz it may have stability issue. so i cant guarantee that this will work flawlessly. better to stick with the stocked for best results.

but so far adw is working good for me with no issues
[G1 Android Development] Jbazt_katuforzs:
changed it to what bg you desire
[G1 Android Development] Jbazt_katuforzs:
good news! cant wait to try it. keep it up sir
[G1 Android Development] skippy214:
Gotten this rom where I'm really likin it. Mtd hack workin and all is great. Funny thing though, not sure but I flashed the theme and ended up with blue BG but when I installed ADW the BG from alan's theme pics showed up? I was thinkin it was a default wallpaper with the launcher, but i'm guessin not.
[G1 Android Development] burn317:
Using this install method as I type this right now, please update your post on androidspin.com so others don't spam your thread here like I have with "I can't make this work" :D Hope to see results as good as 1.7 brought to me :cool:

Quick Question

Can anyone tell me how I can add CMWallpapers to the wallpaper menu on this and also, how to restore the Non-3D Gallery instead of the 3D one. I'm not a fan of the 3D version and find the phone behaves better without it.:confused:

Thanx in advance!

**Update: Oops, nevermind, I remembered how to do it..."adb push".

Extract Gallery.apk from a older CM update (like 5.0.8) somewhere (c:\temp in the example below)
Using adb:

adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/Gallery3D.apk
adb push c:\temp\Gallery.apk /system/app/Gallery.apk

See:

Also pushed CyanogenMOD Analog Clock & Google Voice widgets:

[G1 Android Development] sleepyfu:
Funny how I want as many apps staying in memory as possible.

MT3g users that don't want app2sd (me), just make you don't have any EXT partition on the card. same goes for the swap, if you have swap partition on the card, CM6 will use it by default.

This is the fastest rom i've ever used, flashed the 614 oc and the galaxy theme according to the instructions.

Can you make a video review of this rom?
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Yes I guess I can do a video review of this Rom, seeing that I havent done a review in a few weeks and seeing that I havent done a review of Biff Mod since 1.2. And trust me as this being my Rom now I will hold true to my ratings.
[G1 Android Development] bassbox:
umm, I remember that I read somewhere that a full wipe with ra dream still leaves some old files from froyo on our roms and there was a link providing a cmd file for windows for a real fullwipe .. maybe that could help? dunno did all wipe options + correct radio etc...

see for logcat http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8016093&postcount=568
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Happy Labor Day!

You can try going into fastboot and then running "fastboot erase system -w". Then doing the full recovery wipe. Let us know if that makes a difference.

now i am having trouble.

after a full complete wipe of system data sdext cache

latest 2.22.23.02 radio

been on dangerspl 1.33.2005

then flashing biff 1.8 while following instructions exactly on first post (ohsaka),

everything works perfectly fine except i have no sound from the earpiece or receiver.

if i press speaker, i can hear the other person fine. the microphone works as the other person can hear me, but i cannot hear anything.

i dont know what to do now, i wiped again and reflashed just the rom, still not working. tried rebooting plenty of times, no luck.

seems like my problem is similar to this

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/5389-no-receiver-earpiece-sound/
[G1 Android Development] burn317:
System was quicker after installing the method in the OP rom was much quicker though apps seemed to lag quite a bit. nandroid back uped after got everything how I wanted it set, did another full wipe, restored backup and then flashed ROM again, waited 5 minutes after lock screen came up and speed was close to 1.7s speed.

I, like most on here I assume, wanted more! So got the oc kernel and threw that on. First boot phone force closed after bootload.zip was done before the lock screen. second boot did a restart on its own at the lock screen before the sd card was loaded. Third time was a charm. Raised my CPU speed in set CPU which made it force close, went back into it and all adjustments were saved.

I'll never doubt a biffmod again :)

My market doesn't seem to complete downloading any apps. It will show that the app is downloaded but the app doesn't install and when i go into the app screen itself i see that there is nothing showing how much of the app has been downloaded though in the download screen it shows that it is complete.
[G1 Android Development] _nobody:
thinking it might actually be a hardware issue and not software. i dropped my phone pretty hard on wednesday, and i found my receiver not working later that day. but weird thing is that i had sound, could hear calls on thursday. now its back to no sound again.

sucks cause now i have to find a new phone or something
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Just to let you all know V1.9 will be released in the next couple of days, I promise huge increase in performance and boot times cut down by more then half. I just flashed it on my G1 and first boot took 4-5 min. Reboot took 2 min. So be watching for "The Road Warrior."
[G1 Android Development] thelamacmdr:
I understand the first boot should take a while and it does which makes me think that it's doing what it's supposed to, but are subsequent boots supposed to take just as long? Once it gets passed the initial boot screen which take approx. 5 mins, the rest is fast but with logcat running I get the usual "waiting for device..." for 5 minutes. It only happens on this rom which makes me think that it's the scripts in it that are doing it, am I right in assuming this and if so is it necessary to run them on every boot?
[G1 Android Development] skippy214:
no its not neccessary, and are you running 1.8, because it does have about the same reboot time everytime. we know its long and in 1.9 should be reduced alot.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
You are correct V1.8 has a lot of scripts that make it work as awesome as it does. V1.9 which is in the hands of my Testers now boots up in 4 min. and after that every other reboot is only like 2 min. So I fixed that long boot issue. The long boot was caused by me using scripts instead of the actual firerat patch. Enjoy 1.8 for the next few days. V1.9 should be out soon.

I am also porting over a Resident Evil Theme (In celebration of Afterlife getting released on Sept. 10) Also I am releasing a Black Version. These will all be released at the same time.

[G1 Android Development] infinitybiff:
you'll need to wipe ext partition as well. Sorry :(
[G1 Android Development] DroidDavi:
How are you guys setting up your sd card by that I mean the swap size and all that other stuff oh and what ext are you using
[G1 Android Development] Frank11:
any way you could fix this:confused:

i just tried again and when i use SuperFroyo v2.8.2 With App2SD-EXT3/4 by Super@tmel my apps show up just fine...but i like ur rom just way better
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
whats wrong with wiping ext just do it, froyo reinstalls all your apps anyways
[G1 Android Development] infinitybiff:
PM me the link when you do :)
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
You got it. I am going to send you a PM right now, just a quick question.
[G1 Android Development] Kid_Ding:
great work infinitybiff!!! just flashed v1.2 over v1.0 and everything is intact!
[G1 Android Development] wiseradvizor:
It seems pretty smooth, but google maps keeps force closing right when I open it.
[G1 Android Development] Abhi_UK:
After using cm6 rc2 I used firerat's patch for swap but on the latest nightly I flashed today swap wan't working.

Can anyone confirm if it is in this rom.

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] DroidDavi:
In this last hour I got about 4 FC but when its running its going great I'm still on 1.0 I will flash1.2 later and I hope it stops

But 1 more time what ext are you guys using
[G1 Android Development] ryaninc:
Thank you so much for making this ROM! This is exactly what I've been waiting for, and why I haven't gone Froyo yet...I don't want the whole theming deal.

The only issue I'm having is with Google Maps force closing. I've tried all the usual fixes (uninstall updates, fix permissions, reboot, reinstall updates, etc.) to no avail. I'm downloading 1.2 now, so maybe that fixes it.

Thanks again!:D
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Gmaps is the only issue I am having with this Rom did all the same things you did. Theres gotta be something that is conflicting with it to cause it to FC.
[G1 Android Development] billquinn1:
Did you try deleting it and installing Brut maps from this forum? It might work better.
[G1 Android Development] phiredrop:
Great ROM. I did a wipe and had 1.1 installed for a while this morning and it was quite stable. I can never update my CM RC2 to the newest nightly because it always causes a bootloop. Perhaps I'll stick with your work.

One question though.. Anytime I've ever wiped and reinstalled a 2.2 ROM, my apps have only once ever automatically downloaded themselves. Most of the time it won't happen, even when coming straight from another froyo rom. I do select for Google to backup my data during GAPPS setup, so I don't know what the problem is. Any ideas?

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] domex2k:
For 1.2 i did a complete wipe and then i flashed 1.2 and it booted up just fine, and so next i went into Recovery then into Console and removed ADW launcher and reboot, but then it never boots up, it gets stuck in the Nexus boot animation.:confused: Im going to reinstall 1.1 again and remove ADW and then do a no wipe flash to 1.2 and see what happens.
[G1 Android Development] LordXeth:
Hello Guys,

here is my Theme "BX-Destiny" for BiffMod 1.2 Rom and first read Info befor flash my Theme and make Backup!!

[G1 Android Development] domex2k:
I remember there was a nighly on the 4th that gmaps was FC i think this was built of of thats one.
[G1 Android Development] infinitybiff:
I'm interested to see if this works too. Deleting maps and installing it from market might work as well. I'm not getting any force closes so I'm not sure what the common denominator is and where you all might be having the problem. It may be a problem with the nightly build this is built on. Hopefully it will be resolved in the next build. I plan to update this within the next two days. Let me know what you all find.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Well there we go...So its a great Rom, he just needs to change the Base to a different nightly then.
[G1 Android Development] infinitybiff:
have you tried doing a fresh install of 1.2 as that is based off a more current CM build... like this morning current :)
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
That is freaking awesome. I love it, I will use that in the next rom. I will convert it to ogg and it will be all good. Thanks for doing that.
[G1 Android Development] Jbazt_katuforzs:
Try to download the app 1 @ a time untill its finished installing if the download takes a while, cancel the download and redownload again. This works for me

[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Nope no EBI1 port yet, Let me look into it maybe for 2.0.

Just letting everybody know, in the next few days BiffMod is going to rock your world with what my Beta Testers and I have come up with. be on the look out.
[G1 Android Development] sleepyfu:
hi royalknight, I want to use the standard android keyboard instead, I can't seem to find all the files to replace to make it work, i get a force close if the word suggestion is turned on.

I have replaced the ime.apk, userdictionary.apk, ime.jar, input.jar, as well as the ime and input in the bin folder. Could you let me know how to fix it. thanks.
[G1 Android Development] surfwaimea:
Yes, please :)
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
You need to replace the libjni_latinime.so that file. remove the droidx apk file from apps then replace that with the froyo from a nightly and your good to go.
[G1 Android Development] sleepyfu:
thank you :)
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Just to let you know though 2.0 will have Stock Keyboard included. So then on 2.0 you wont have to do everything your doing...

My market still doesnt install apps

My market still doesnt install apps. i see the download icon in the notification bar when the app is downloading but after the download is finished the notification just disappears without showing that it is installing the app. all i see is a completed download in the download section of my market. clicking on this send to me the app screen where the download progress bar here does not even show any prgress at all and is jsut grey all through. is there any fix for this.?
[G1 Android Development] ATZ-007:
:D Thank you for the ROM/your hard work :D

I finally managed to get it (1.8) working after flashing it many times. It was getting stuck on boot loop after first boot. Anyway its working fine now and I have rebooted it many time.

However I have following issues :(

1. Keep receiving below two messages :confused: how do I resolve it?

a) "The application Google services Framework (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly."

Please try again.

[Force close]"

b) "Sorry! The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly.

Please try again.

[Force close]"

2. Not all apps are being moved to ext (I think someone have already mentioned this). Can I do anything manually to move apps to ext (i.e. Firerat script, if so, has anyone tried the latest Firerat script on this rom?)

I would highly appreciate any advice/suggestions.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
In V1.8 all apps are being moved over to your EXT, I dont think this is an issue at all and of course you can try FireRats Patch but trust me they are being moved over. Next did you follow the instructions in the OP exactly? Also it would be helpful if you put your Phone info in your sig so we know how your phone is set up and which device you are on.
[G1 Android Development] Kristion:
Been using it since last friday. It's very responsive, i keep getting some FC's sometimes but I think this is from the auto task killer because an app is taking too long to respond. I press wait and no problem. I didn't have any restart at all.

First flashed the 1.8 version and set it up according to the instructions in the OP, after that I've installed the galaxy theme and last the 614 oc. Everything is running smooth, sometimes it lags but overall it's the best froyo for G1. Hope that 1.9 will be released till friday :D.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
1.9 is 2.0 I am skipping 1.9 and going right to 2.0, Its a huge update My Team has been working hard and we are bringing you guys a great Rom with tons of extras to go along with it. Trust me enjoy 1.8 While you can cause once 2.0 gets released your never coming back, you will be Gone and lost in the awesomeness of this Rom. Ok I know I am biased but I am amazed at the stuff we have done, and its only getting better. Thursday or Friday will be the release days.
[G1 Android Development] ATZ-007:
Thanks for swift reply,

Ok I will wait for few more hours (5-10) to see how it runs

Force close:

I have followed your instruction on the original post step-by-step.

Signature:

please see below (thanks again for your advice, should have done it along time ago)

Question:

if I want certain app to be on the internal memory (i.e. launcher, widgets), how do I do that? I know how to do that with Firerat script, however I was wondering if there is a better way to do this.

:D Can’t wait for 2.0, guess I know what I will be doing Thursday or Friday evening :D

after fullwipe running dangerspl and .23. radio@g1
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
bassbox,

Can you make a signature that shows your details? Including how you have your sdcard partition. I remember reading about someone having a similar error to yours a looong time ago, and it was related to their sdcard. I think they were only using ext2 as opposed to 3/4.

Regardless, its a good idea to have a signature...
[G1 Android Development] ATZ-007:
I was having the same error before when I had EXT3 and I flashed OC kernel, now I’ve upgraded to EXT4 and without OC kernel and its working fine.
[G1 Android Development] bassbox:
I'm quite sure i was running biffmod 1.6 just fine before.. did a fullwipe.

see sig for phone details

gonna check SD details once again with http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/

[G1 Android Development] aj10:
hello :),

i've ordered a used g1, which i'll collect tomorrow morning. i have an 8 gb class 4 micro sdhc card, and plan to do the following: 512 mb (or maybe 1 gb) for applications ext4, the rest as fat32 for other stuff. as you can see, i've left off swap - how much swap do you recommend i use on my memory card?

thank you.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
that question will give you different answers i only use 32MB. but other people use more a lot more. lol
[G1 Android Development] botay.alls:
Hi every body. I can't find gmap in this rom. please tell me about it. thank you.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Download it from the Marketplace. Most newer Roms unless the Dev puts it in will not come with Gmaps. Even the new TinyGapps from Cyan dont include gmaps. Its on the marketplace so there is no need to include it.
[G1 Android Development] Jbazt_katuforzs:
flashing problems? Try to follow what i did. Doesnt matter what rom you came from, gb of your sd card.

-download1.8 save it to desktop pc

-boot your phone to recovery mode.

-on recovery mode go usb toggle, once connected backup all files you want to your pc (media files, apks, etc..)

-after the backup dont remove usb, format the sdcard(fat32)

-after the format complete disble usb toggle

-go to wipe and wipe all up to the screen rotation settings

-after wiping all hit back to go to the previous menu

-go to partition sdcard.

-32mb./512mb/ then the rest

-after partitioning hit upgrade ext3 to ext4

-after upgrade complete hit back to go to the previous menu.

-hit usb toggle and transfer the rom to the root of your sdcard

-disable usb after transfer and flash the zipped rom.

-after flashing follow the post flash proceedure.

-done and transfer all your backup files to your sdcard and install all your apps.

This is what i did and. Everything is working great

Hope this helps

No ROOT access.....

WOW!

I just installed this ROM after wiping everything (even did the Fastboot erase system -w), installed Radio, SPL, and MTD partition manager, then the ROM.

No root access......amazing.

I guess I'll try yet another Froyo.

But thanks for this ROM anyway, I guess it's just me who has this problem.
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
Maybe he has a lot of daughters. :D
[G1 Android Development] ryaninc:
This happened to me once before on an Eclair ROM. I don't know if it's still an issue with Froyo ROMs, but it's worth checking. Go to Settings > Applications > Development and make sure USB Debugging is checked.

For me, unchecking that completely removed root access. Like I said, I don't know if that issue even still applies to Froyo, but it's worth a shot. :cool:
[G1 Android Development] Necrobutcher:
What is the swappiness / how can I change it?
[G1 Android Development] Elegy:
I've just flashed this ROM and coming from Super@mtel i must say im not blown away.

I might be just a bad flash, so im in the process of re-flashing, but after my 1st flash it is just so unresponsive. one time it is fast like it is supposed to be, next time it is slow as hell.

I must say though, apps2sd or 2ext, whatever, works fine on thie ROM. Actually the first Froyo CM6 ROM ive come across that worked immediately.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Swype would be awesome, Every one I found is either expires or doesn't work. If you can find me one that works then I will implement it. I always like Swype.

The swappiness with 1.8 is set at 30. What would you want to change it to? The reason I ask is this, with Cupcake (1.5) Donut (1.6) and Eclair (2.1) the swappiness was more stable then with Froyo (2.2). So with those you could have a swappiness like 60 and even 100 and your phone would work awesome. But with Froyo due to the unstableness of swappiness you can only have it at 20 - 30 at a max I would only use 40. Anything higher your phone will run better for a few days then become very unresponsive. But if you wanted to change it using Root Explorer you can edit the 08Swap folder in system/etc/int.d. and edit the 30 to whatever and find out for yourself.

Ok first off thank you for trying my Rom, Next make sure you follow the install instructions in the OP perfectly along with installing Autokiller and AutoStart. But 1.8 has mix emotions for some people it flys for others it lags a little. But 2.0 will be coming out and trust me I have been running it along with my testers for the last few days and it will blow all others away. "Get Ready To Hop On A Jet Plain!!!" (yes the plain was on purpose, you will understand once 2.0 is released.)
[G1 Android Development] Elegy:
sounds great!

as for the laggyness, im currently formatting my SD and making new partitions because actually it was slowly getting crammed with stuff. might be the solution, if not.. i will be waiting for 2.0 :D
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
My take on that is every time you change Roms you should re-partition your SD card, instead of just repairing ext. cause then you you know for sure that everything is wiped. Let me know what your results are.
