I'm using biff now since a week and it is perfect.

Changed to zeam and now I put the new gb-keyboard in.

I think nothing more is needed.

For me I suggest thath the new ROM is perfect like this only with bug-fixes and security updates.

Once THX. to the Devs
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
My resume says professional software engineer with over a decade of experience. But I don't go around actually calling myself that, lol. And trust me, I know how to compile something with statically linked libraries. I mentioned to terry on Gtalk that I needed to recompile erase_image, and he had it done before I even had the makefile open in vi. He is a machine and one of the biggest assets to the G1 community.

Glad to see you have decided to move on to the G2. Makes my decision on what phone to buy next much easier. But before you go steamroll their community calling yourself a dev, maybe you should spend some time and get yourself a working build environment in Ubuntu. Once you do, I bet Firerat will be nice enough to help you set the proper build prop so that -KANG stops showing up in About Phone...
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Well I for one don't have -KANG showing up in about phone, so I have no idea what you mean. Also glad to hear you are more than capable of doing things other than superwipe.
[G1 Android Development] suposedtobe:
notify

nevermind found the setting
[G1 Android Development] jpzzle:
ooh weee :cool:;) ahah
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
because you didn't compile it

the -kang flag doesn't really do anything anyway.

just means if you do a make without setting properties in the buildspec, or modifying the .mk it gets flagged -kang so it not confused with an official build

but maybe soon we will see some sig check in the framework, so themed roms get flagged up as a kanged CM regardless of the build.prop
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Oh ok so this is more in regards to cmstats.apk or?

Edit: Your right that would be good for just themed roms. I have a theme and my own apps2ext method now so people won't get confused, and thanks to your patch it's all possible now, thnks buddy. Also removed the kernel extrator, no longer needed yawn
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
yeap

because before, you had to set a buildspec to make it tag as a nightly

else it would tag as a release

and since many people can just about do

repo sync
make otapackage&&squisher

lots of 'nightlies' looked like milestones

always did confuse me that you had to set it up to not tag as official release, since people who know what they are doing can set it up, and people who don't .. well ... don't

so -kang tag fixes that, so the guys who look at the CMstats feed can filter out the chaff

but of course they could have filtered on who built it, and when

# begin build properties
# autogenerated by buildinfo.sh
ro.build.id=GINGERBREAD
ro.build.display.id=full_sapphire-userdebug 2.3.1 GINGERBREAD eng.android.20110104.194858 test-keys

ro.build.host=Firerat
ro.build.tags=test-keys

but, tbh I never looked at what CMstats spits out over the internet
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Me either, from previewing the data it just shows the mod ver and the device, and not much else

Edit: Is this what Ohsaka was talking about?

dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=n

This is fun too:

# These devices have more ram, so larger vm heaps for it.
dalvik.vm.heapsize=32m
[G1 Android Development] ibraheeemz:
its really been so long, waiting for the upgrade!! but I know devs will provide the updated work of their months efforts that we will comment on in a few minutes and the game is over!! but still waiting :)
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Waiting, here, also. Even though I now have a G2...I still wait, impatiently for the release of Biffmod 2.2. :cool:
[G1 Android Development] ibraheeemz:
but where is the dev team? no one being here for so long.
[G1 Android Development] Virgilus:
Read that yesterday in the morning.

Truted you completly.

Got excited all day long at my job.

And then nothing in the evening, big dissapointement :(

Can't wait for 2.2. I wish i could help to continue the amazing job all the devs have done and bring biff to gingerbread :P

Edit: big mistake wich -> wish..... sorry, i'm french. corrected it.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
....meh, we'll see what happens
[G1 Android Development] Spakainz:
FireKrysa f*** **o. Biffmod death.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
Meh, sparksmod theme dead soon

I have proved its just a theme

and as the theme is kanged , Sparksco will not be able to provide the original source for the animation xml's

its a total rip off

also evidenced by the inconsistency of the theme, it is a mix of kanged themes

calling it a rom is a bad joke
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
..............
[G1 Android Development] d12unk13astard:
You guys really should take this conversation to pm and not discuss this in biffmod thread.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Your right pm's are open again :/
[G1 Android Development] ibraheeemz:
If firerat is proving something, means it really is so. well, what can say, people are using sparksmod let them be :)
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Just pm but don't discuss it in the open thread thanks
[G1 Android Development] captaincrook:
I await the last release. I know ezterry has his plate full with Gingerbread so if there's no 2.2 coming kindly let us know.
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
I'm looking into good kernels, NLJ is adding in features such as making the cpu speed on boot.

(And many people to test if we get a build)

Yes things are going slow.. but we want an improvement not as is.

However I get asked for ETAs for many projects.. if I get too many in a day the idea of a new video games and/or netflix seems a better idea since rushing any of this causes stress.. and I'd rather keep the stress to a minimum.. and at the day job if unavoidable.

If you want it faster get your patches in github pull requests welcome.

We are /biffmod

I also hate to say it but sparks mod talks are best on the sparks mod Thread and biffmod on the biffmod thread .. the overlap causes hostility that is not an environment that makes we want to think of either mod.

In the mean time if you feel the need to flash things for the sake of flashing, try a theme, try the gingerbread rom (best take a nandroid before that) try some kernels to find a good one (mine is stuck ar cm6.1rc1 level also has issues with gingerbread but this is still froyo, cm6.1 has green tint and usb battery drain issues, pershoot has had mt3g1.2 stability issues and might have the usb issue)
[G1 Android Development] captaincrook:
Thanks for the response. I know everyone is busy and ETAs are akin to alligators in the toilet ... its nice to just have a solid answer without the cliffhangers.
[G1 Android Development] Essenar:
Okay I don't know about any of this kanged cm business but I wanted to share my experience.

Last weekend I realized I hated my G1. I had a straight CM6.1 on it and my battery life was terrible and it constantly FC'ed and performance decayed quickly.

I decided I needed a new rom or I would sell this phone because it won't last as a temporary until the Bionic drops.

Then I started scouring other forums hoping a better rom than CM was out there. I found out out ezterry's work and new roms that pushed the G1.

I won't name specific roms but I'll just say it wasn't an easy decision to make. I know there's a rom that's supposedly faster but I finally decided to try Biffsmod 2.1 and wow.

My phone feels like it was built in 2010. When I go to Home its always there waiting. The performance is stellar. People say this mod is dead or old but I don't really think that. At the end of the day, even if one dev or all the devs retire their G1's, as long as this mod exists, its not dead.

And Firerat probably never hears this as much as he should, but that dude is a genius. A lot of people are saving internal memory.

Anyway to anyone on the fence, if you need a 2.2 rom with native apps2ext, busybox, performance and stability, go with Biffsmod and don't look back, only forward.

Thanks a lot guys. I was in a tough financial position and couldn't afford a new phone and you breathed life into the one I had.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
on the contrary, and it is no less annoying than the first time.
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
damn! nice keyboard you have :) all that text ?

now, on topic: what`s the next move of the "squad"? first i ask this, and then maybe i`ll slip the mention that without royalknight (in my opinion) things are not the same. and i hope that this is received as a friendly remark.
[G1 Android Development] Neitmrh15:
I just installed 2.1 and it tells me I dont have the dialer application installed and I don't see it in my apps list, anyone know how to get the stock dialer back?
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
How long did you wait after the first boot? I usually give it a good 10 - 15 minutes for things to get setup.

Try firing up ADB and watching the logcat... when it stops scrolling madly and stabilizes it's done.
[G1 Android Development] nakeman:
my 2cents:

1) wipe, full wipe, super wipe (read OP)

2) wait, be patient, wait a moment in between every single steps. it takes times to settle after flashing the rom. meanwhile, it is fragile. so don't touch it just after flashing.

:)
[G1 Android Development] Neitmrh15:
I wiped wiped and wiped again and waited waited and waited some more and the install was much cleaner. I tend to rush my installs I guess ><
[G1 Android Development] :
Logcat is your friend on a first boot, look out for the finished scanning external line with prescan time etc as I find this is always the last thing that is setup. When you see them lines its normally good to go.
[G1 Android Development] rpmccormick:
Don't you devs think it is strange that you have to leave it alone on first boot or risk having to totally wipe and re-install? I mean, installing Linux isn't like that. How did Google mess up the framework for Android so badly that it kills itself if you try to use it within 5 min of first boot?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
its one of those rituals that got born in a King thread.

it should make no real difference..

having typed that,

a very bloated sense ROM with lots of apks and dalvik-cache on sdext , if you launch home too soon you don't get all your widgets setup.

but that was real bloaty crappy sense Frankenstein , shouldn't be a problem in this ROM

don't believe everything people post, they just don't know any better
[G1 Android Development] Madride4life:
I bought my G1 two days ago

I First installed CM 6.1 into my G1 , had to follow the instruction which took me more than 10 hours, and after few hours of using it start to lag ... really lag even with OCing it .

then download biffmod, installed it in 30 min and it's much much better than the other one .

miner lag, great option, reasinable battery life .

all I am saying I am newbie to this and I could easily install biffmod 2.1

Thank you ( dev., the starter of the thread, the community and everyone hear )

glad to be android user , and glad to be xda-developers member

^_^
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
BiffMod is awesome indeed. However, I must say it gets easier with time. Flashing everything on my wife's MyTouch3G was easier after I had done to my G1 first.
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Biffmod will forever be my favorite. Still waiting on 2.2 but, trying to keep my mind occupied in the meantime.

Wow! Better late than never, I guess.

It all starts with the Dream. ;)
[G1 Android Development] Madride4life:
yah I know it's a little late, but I was short of money in the past and I thought all Android mobiles are expensive but I got mine for 70 bucks so that's a really great deal ^_^

My aim now is toward the nexus s
[G1 Android Development] CamoGeko:
Weirdly started getting force closes when trying to use the camera on my Magic. Trying to fix it now by running "Fix Permissions..", hopefully that works because I really like this rom and dont wanna flash anything else.

Also, is it worth flashing the 32% CC script on this rom?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
meh, no need to flash anything

if you want to try 32% CC

then, setup CC

su
mount -o rw,remount /system
sed '/ro.compcache.default/ d' -i /system/build.prop
echo "ro.compcache.default=32" >> /system/build.prop

and reboot
[G1 Android Development] nakeman:
thanks firerat. So if i wanna go back, just replace the number "32" to, say "16" ?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
yeap

or just

su
mount -o rw,remount /system
sed '/ro.compcache.default/ d' -i /system/build.prop

which will delete it from the build.prop

no real need to package it up as a zip or worse as the basis for a full ROM ;)

including as an option in CMParts is trivial

http://pastebin.com/BRsPQN0L

guess I could compile against

https://github.com/biffmod/android_packages_apps_CMParts

not sure how well that will play with current Biffmod

but I could revert changes so it matches the current release

edit:

ok, did a quick compile

backup your current /system/app/CMParts.apk

then replace with the attached one

you should then have option for 32% CC
[G1 Android Development] dvd23:
Thanks

Hello all,

just flashed this rom because my previous one (CM) became too slow and buggy.

So i wanna thanks all devs for the great work, now my magic is really fast and usable.

Keep up the great work!!
[G1 Android Development] nakeman:
Thanks firerat, you make things more fun:D
[G1 Android Development] CamoGeko:
Thanks firerat, doing it now mate.

EDIT: Its not letting me replace CMParts in system/app folder :(

EDIT2: No worries I've done it via Terminal, haha damn I love this forum :D
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
I neglected to mention that system needs to be rw

either

adb remount

or

su
mount -o rw,remount /system

or ( if you installed the remount option of my All in One )

su
rwsystem

btw, I'm not saying 32% CC is a good idea, but at least people have the option to play with it ;)
[G1 Android Development] ibraheeemz:
the waiting period is getting too long!! by the so far using Magpie by Firerat, thats smoothest and fastest froyo ever!! was facing some issues with native cm6.1 but I think firerat did something cool with it :)
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
besides the a2sdext stuff there is no real difference between CM6.1 and Magpie CM6.1

Magpie CM6.1 *is* CM6.1 , but a2sdext is built in ( like it was in CM5 ) and not a script.
[G1 Android Development] nakeman:
"ROM - EzTerry's GB - with Magpie added" <<< i want this :D
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
its in the thread

but you might like to wait a little for the new build

ezterry has committed quite a number of fixes, and included a very neat and tidy AutoKernel :D

I'm just making sure that some of my recent additions play nice with it.

I've got at least one bug to squash
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
With my current setup, I just have to move a ringtone and a notification I made into the phone's internal memory so it loads faster and I can finally stop tinkering with my G1 after 5 months. I have it running as I want it. It's as fast as BiffMod was, with the extra CM 6.1 features and Apps2EXT without scripts. It's not that I don't like scripts, I used it when I had Ezterry's mt3g OTA froyo. I just like the simplicity.

I got a flashable script from Sisterchick that deletes a lot of the stuff people don't use in CM to slim it down, and I erased the default ringtones and notifications. My setup is in my sig, but I hope BiffMod continues.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
lol at

Theme: FR's "Gingerbread theme that not suck"

I did that because someone was whining that flashing the theme was breaking Magpie

it was all Magpie's fault, even if the Theme was replacing the whole of the framework-res.apk

so, turned it into a patch

its name was a bit of a typo

should have been

Gingerbread theme that does not suck

I honestly have no idea who made the original theme , it was just a direct d/l linked to me over twitter

edit:

nice link in your sig btw

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=814072

I've bookmarked that just in case I feel like releasing my own ROM, lol
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:

[G1 Android Development] Captainkrtek:
Both of you stop this bickering in every thread you join. Both of you will be getting a pm from me.
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
::whoosh::

You need to update your sarcasm detectors. Firerat was making referring to you, implying that some people seem to think that custom transitions and a theme makes a ROM unique. I have those transitions, with a nice theme and many things slimmed down from CM6, but I wouldn't release this as a ROM and call it something different.
[G1 Android Development] Virgilus:
Can you share the link about this script. I tried to make one for myself, but couldn't make it work....
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6409094/Slim_CM6.1_2D.zip

It removes Gallery3D, but if you take it out of the ROM and add it again later, you can.

Removes: music, youtube, cmstats, cmwallpaper, livewp, rommanager, protips, vpnserv, dspmanager

Youtube is in the Market.
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Gallery 2D for 3D

FYI...Gallery2D is installed in place of 3D. Also, MMS.apk with a colorized notification icon is also installed.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
hatchet job

leaves crap behind
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Even if you run the script before first boot of the ROM? I've tried removing apks and resigning the ROM prior to flash, but CM tends to boot loop when you do that. What would be a better alternative, short of recompiling?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
on a clean wipe, yes

but just remove from the rom before install..

script to be run in live ROM

much cleaner

#!/system/bin/sh
delapk=""
delapk="$delapk CMWallpapers.apk"
delapk="$delapk Gallery3D.apk"

Thanks for the input on the script.

Great Job THX
[G1 Android Development] antny:
I love this rom but I know it can be better when will it be updated!?!?
[G1 Android Development] PPlayer:
Still waiting for an update of this great ROM. It has been too long...
[G1 Android Development] LuckyJ26:
Lets face it. This rom is dead :/
[G1 Android Development] surfwaimea:
Gigerbread did kill it :(
[G1 Android Development] NLJ:
Ezterry and me had big plans for this next BiffMod release but as surfwaimea pointed out GB kinda killed it. Especially on Ezterry's part =o) (to be clear: I think Ezterry is making awsome job there and switching back and forth between Froyo and GB would not make any good to either). For the time being I'm still hacking on Froyo sources.

From my point of view Laszlo's ROM is the continuation of BiffMod. I was thinking about releasing my build of BiffMod but I'm not that active on forum to give it proper support. If you ever wondered how would next BiffMod run please give Laszlo's ROM a try.

Please note that this is

mine and only mine

opinion on BiffMod's future.
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
I totally agree with NLJ. I've been switching back and forth between Lazlo's Froyo ROM and Ezterry Gingerbread lately. Lazlo's is a very nice continuation of BiffMod and is a great daily driver. It is smooth, lightweight but with plenty of bells and whistles, Magpie for apps to ext (thanks NLJ and Firerat) and a very nice stock theme. Give it a try. Ezterry and Firerat's work on Gingerbread for D/S is an excellent work in progress. They haven't yet reached the point of a beta build, but they are getting close.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Hmmm. Looks like I'll have to check out this Lazlo... smooth and lightweight is a winning combo for me. I've been wanting to do a rebuild of my phone anyways.

(Anyone got a lead on a good DeBlured Eclair for a Cliq 1 while we're at it?)
[G1 Android Development] antny:
are you sure about that?? i went into the thread for lazlo's rom and lately theres only been complaints about non functional processes besides text and phone
[G1 Android Development] :
I can safely say that there was one issue with zero length files and I provided a quick fix which is now downloadable with the rom. Other than that then it's been absolutely fine.

Maybe a better understanding of things will help you cut through the usual 'this & that don't work' syndrome most suffer from due to not wiping properly or simply a bad flash. Try it for yourself before believing everything you read ;)
[G1 Android Development] captaincrook:
For DeBlurred ROMs, head on over to the Mod My Mobile forum.

I have a Cliq XT and the DeBlurred ROMs there offer such a dramatic increase in usability.

[G1 Android Development] austriker27:
howdy,

so I flashed to a biffmod and its working fine. Except for some reason now my market is not working. I will download apps and then it will say it is installing. And this will go on for days, and it will never install. I will open market back up and then those apps are listed there but say "Free" not "installed" ... whats the deal?? Should I reflash some gapps or something?

any recommendations would be lovely- thanks!
[G1 Android Development] antny:
Ok sounds good to me haha I love biffmod but its not as stable as it use to be and or just not as stable as I'd like I want something new
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
My guess is you had previously a diffrent market version and didn't wipe market data.

If you just flashed biffmod flash the market fix as well from the op and then in settings applications wipe you market data. (Not just the cache) it ought to the sort its self out.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
I have this issue every now and then too. Usually, going into description for the app and waiting a few seconds will clear it up. It's like it gets stuck waiting for you to hit some invisible final OK button.
