Just curious if anyone else is having problems with their custom ringtones.

I have always been able (in 1.6 roms) to have a folder called "media" with subfolders "alarms", "notifications", and "ringtones" and my phone picks them up and allows me to set them just as I would any of the sounds that come with the ROM.

With this, I can't find a way to do it. I tried ringdroid which is what I used for a lot of my tones, but it only picks up the stock tones.

Any help would be appreciated.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
localhost / # du -hc /data/media/
140.0K	/data/media/audio/alarms
443.5K	/data/media/audio/notifications
1.9M	/data/media/audio/ringtones
72.5K	/data/media/audio/ui
2.6M	/data/media/audio
4.4M	/data/media/
4.4M	total

works for me
[G1 Android Development] EternalSoil:
Not sure exactly what you mean there.

Do i need to put them there? Or am I supposed to run commands?

EDIT: I did du -hc /data/media

result: no such file or directory.

Do i need to create this? i believe my stock .ogg files are in /system/media/audio/

Should I put my files in here? In my file manager on my phone it wont let me put stuff there; is says "The folder is read only"

Market acting funny

So I love the Rom kudos to the developers

But my market apps does not show certain apps. Not sure how many but the 2 that I have been testing with are .podkast. and pocket legends. I am not sure if there are more.

What I have already tried are:

reflash rom and gapps while using superwipe from ohsaka

did a search of the thread and found that page 256 and 243 had some methods that I also tried, but no luck and I also downloaded gapps from cyanogen website and still no luck

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/files/file/124-google-addon-mdpi-tiny-20101020/

I have also notice that the internal memory is decreasing even though I move over the app to sd card

any help would be appreciated

*HSPA+ Hack

Did they honestly make the g1 do hspa plus if so what are u guys speeds?
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Have you tried clearing the cache in Setting?

Settings>Applications>Manage Applications -> Market

*Clear cache

Just a thought.
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
I'm currently in Delaware and this is what I have.

I noticed when I'm home (in Philadelphia) I usually see the H. Driving straight down I-95 to Florida I saw G from North Carolina to Florida and mostly in Florida it was 2G. Just an observation.

***P.S. Sorry for the multiple posts :/
[G1 Android Development] Zico 10:
You'll need to grant your file manager root access, it's usually in the settings somewhere for that particular file manager.

I simply do it through the music player anyway, long press on a song then "set as ringtone".
[G1 Android Development] EternalSoil:
I don't have that option in either Linda or Astro.

I also just noticed that in my music application, none of my music shows up at all.

If I use a file manager and go find the file itself, it will play. If I longpress on the file the option to set as ringtone is greyed out.

Do you think my problem could be related to my partitioning of the SD?

If so, what would be the proper way to do so?

I also noticed that only some of my pictures show up in the gallery, and it always has to search for them for about 10 seconds to even bring up the folders. Then when I open up one of them (2 total) it shows dates, but no thumbnails, and when I click one it never shows up.

I guess I'm the only person with this many problems. I really like this ROM. I tried a few other Froyo ROM's and they lasted about an hour before they were unusable.

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Try "rings extended" on the market... it's free. Then, when you go to select the ringtone / notification as normal, choose RE as the app to complete the task.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
I recommend Root Explorer... as the name implies, it is made for all your root file access needs.

You might want to consider a full wipe and reflash... making sure to give enough settle time after the first boot.
[G1 Android Development] EternalSoil:
rings extended has helped with the sound part.

But I still have trouble with the pictures.

I'll have to start from the beginning again when I get the time. I want to make sure I partition the sdcard correctly, can you point me in the right direction? I did some searching around with no luck.

Also, thank you for your help!

input method not working~

input method hasn't resolved yet?

please please please fix this!~ this is a MUST for switching keyboards and/or international keyboards. some keyboards come with their own settings that has button for input method. but I did notice that it wasn't something of their own but it was the "regular input method" and it works!.. strange.. so it looks as if biffmod has a "link"? issue with that input button?

please, at least fix in next 2.2 version!!!~

Thank you so much for awesome MOD!

btw, maybe its me..but CM6 or others didn't have this problem..when I use market and start downloading, sometimes it downloads right away and installs it..but few(more than few..) times I see it downloading forever...then I click cancel and click install again and it starts installing right away(meaning it downloaded already but kept showing downloading..until I re-clicked install) this happened few times and other few times.. it just didn't download..so it starts to download and then installs it... strange..

lets say.. 1 out of 4 happens like that... I do wipe everything before ROM installs.. and CM6 or other roms didn't have this problem..I came to Biffmod because it was faster,smoother..and all the goodies...again.. perhaps 2.2 will resolve all the problems I have~! ah..one thing I haven't done.."super wipe" this is a recent post that I didn't see..so I'll try that soon.

Angry birds

Why the fack cant I get angry birds to install on this rom. This is my daily driver but thats one of my favorite games. Anyone else having problems installing this game???? Imma try to push it tomorrow when Im not drunk lol
[G1 Android Development] jpzzle:
oh yeah so much that I had the impression it'd actally cause the phone to melt. so iI put a pack of ice under it and monitor the temp on the widget till it cooled down to 26 degrees;)
[G1 Android Development] test1551:
Thx for the suggestion but a no go. I also notice that you have a different radio and SPL you think that might be the reason? I am on Radio 2.22.23.02 and the danger SPL 1.33.2005

I read this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831139

and not sure if I want to try it especially if I do not have to. I already bricked my phone once and not looking forward to doing it at again.

For those people reading DO NOT flash SPL before Radio. R comes before S lol

Oh and just to be sure you can see the .podkast. and pocket legends app when you do a market search?
[G1 Android Development] :
Sorry to tell you but whatever you have it aint gonna be sorted :(

I myself cannot use 2.1 and left the rom behind because of the media issues and trust me when I say I have tried everything and anything you can possibly imagine and all idea's the team had suggested. It's kind of comforting in a twisted way that there is someone who has the problem also.

I'm still trying every now and again in the vain hope I stumble across the answer but to be honest I doubt this issue will ever be resolved due to the fact this is the ONLY Froyo rom that presents this problem and the fact there is only us two with it.
[G1 Android Development] ratchet789:
has anyone come across this issue where there droid x muti-touch keyboard doesn't show up after reboot?

im using a third party keyboard for the mean time so i wont get force closes every two letters.

also flashed the stock file to remove the green theme and the green sms and red and white gmail icon are still active when i get a text and email and no big deal but i thought those would be gone after stock theme would be applied.

anyidea?
[G1 Android Development] ivans13:
I had a problem like that and descibed what fixed the problem for me a couple pages back.
[G1 Android Development] ratchet789:
i tried the method you did ill let you know in a couple days how it hold up.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
I suggest using the utility tool in RA (as I described a bit back). It'll do all the proper syntax and order for you, you just tell it the size of the swap and ext you want it to setup. The layout in my sig (and OP) works great for now.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
I find that 595mhz is the most stable for me. On past Eclair builds I found the full 614mhz to be slightly unstable.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Its a sad yet Happy day!!

Hey all I would first like to start off and say I really love you all and thank you for sticking with BiffMod through thick and thin. :D You guys are the best group of G1/MT3G users around. Thank you for all the support and dedication to make this Rom the best Froyo Rom around, and truly this Rom is the best there is. BiffMod has done some awesome things to help the android community and to that I am happy I was a part of it.

Well my wife being the awesome person she is decided to spoil me because of all the stuff I have been through lately and she bought me a MyTouch 4G, in Red. So I will be moving my deving over to that forum. Of course right now the MT4G only has root and no roms are out yet, I am hoping to help change that. Anyways I know for a fact that the majority of the BiffModSquad will still be around and I am pretty sure they will continue to be developing for the G1. I am just going to be taking a back seat. I am waiting for a response from my team to determine who takes over as the head developer. I know it seems like the G1 is fading away and there is no more developers who want to dev for the G1, But I truly believe Version 2.1 is a masterpiece and it should hold people over until you upgrade to a new phone.

I know sisterchick will still be making Themes and I will upload her themes when I get them to the theme page. Of course I will still be around to shag questions and maybe put something out. But also the deal for me to get the 4G was I would take a break from deving and spend more time with family. Which family comes first. So I appreciate every one of you that have enjoyed the Roms My team and I have put out, everything we have done can always be found on my website under the RoyalKnight6190 tab at www.theandroidknight.com and I will be updating the entire site soon and will try to make it your one stop shop for everything you need if you have any ideas for the site let me know.

Well yet again thank you all. God Bless. You guys all Rock. :D

[G1 Android Development] ratchet789:
and when you make a rom for the mytouch 4g ill be there haha. but glad to have you as a great dev group leader
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Thanks bro, I think with the power of the 4G the things we will be able to do to that thing are endless. it is going to be exciting. Thanks again. :D
[G1 Android Development] ratchet789:
so far it will be the new powerhouse of the mytouch family. ill probably get the white one might as well stick with the same color in the group.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
I agree right now I think the 4G is one of Tmobiles best phones. It has great hardware and software and it looks awesome. I was going to go with the white but when I saw it in the store I didnt like the gloss finish, I like the matte finish of the Red and black. My Dell laptop is the Same Red as the 4G so I decided to stick with Red. That metal backing is also very cool. Let me know when you get one and maybe we can work on something.
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
noooo!!! Whyyyyy???? :D
[G1 Android Development] ratchet789:
id like that dont got many skills in rooting but i got ideas
[G1 Android Development] ratchet789:
@royalknight

you should post a vid on how much you like your new 4g hahaha
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
:( Thanks yo9gnc, I know its sad. But I have been around and with the G1 for a while now and me being a Technology nerd and seeing all these awesome new devices out I had to upgrade. And of course my wife bing awesome and buying me the 4G. Also lately I have been helping Xillius200 with his projects 2.1 Sense Rom and the 2.2 Froyo Rom. But I have also neglected my family a little and need a break. I will be back dont worry. And trust me like I said my team will still be out making magic happen for BiffMod. I am pretty sure Ezterry is working on a few awesome things as we speak. Thanks for the support. :D
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Yup already been asked to do that. Going to do a full review video, I will post the link here but it will be uploaded to my TouTube channel.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Thats how I was and then I attached myself to a dev that was willing to teach and I learned. lol
[G1 Android Development] jamal717:
can i put the droidX multitouch keyboard on super D
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
No you can not use it for Donut unless somebody has ported it over without me knowing, lol. But you can use it in SuperE. I attached the eclair version to this post. enjoy.
[G1 Android Development] EternalSoil:
Sorry to see you (not quite) leaving RK.

After getting my phone to a nice place with this ROM I knoticed my battery life is terrible.

The only apps I currently have aside from what comes with the rom are:

Advanced Task Killer

Astro File Manager

Facebook

TiKL (and this was happening before i installed this)

Wordfeud

Sense Analog Clock Dark (weather update every 30 minutes)

I first attributed it to me playing with stuff cause it's shiny and new, but I think its more than that.

It dropped about 8-10% from the time I got in the shower until I got to work (roughly 30-45 minutes) with minimal usage.

Anyone haveing this problem and/or have a solution?
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
I don't have proof yet .. but if you have setcpu (or reemember on boot to go into cm6-biffmod parts) you can see if the interactive cpu governor works better for you than ondemand.

Otherwise make sure advanced task killer isn't automatically killing anything ..

Actually I recommend uninstalling it in favor of a shortcut to settings->running services. But if you are only using it to manually kill off a task it ought not be an issue.
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
I began flashing Biff Mod with 1.7, which was the last version Biff was involved in. We were lucky to have you at the helm, RoyalKnight. You had great ideas and surrounded yourself with knowledgeable, helpful people with good ideas as well. Thank you and enjoy your powerhouse.

When we all migrate to our new devices in the coming months, we'll be those annoying users asking whichever dev for whichever ROM we have for "features Biff Mod had months ago."
[G1 Android Development] EternalSoil:
I didnt even think about that. I remember seeing it when I flashed. I switch it to interactive and rebooted. Hopefully that will help.

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
i realized that more you don`t know, is better :)

i tried all "taskkiller" apps available.so, for now i don`t use one :) . in my opinion, this is another process in background. that`s the problem (again, in my opinion) with all installed apps that keep a service in background. that`s why i uninstalled skype and re-installing skype-beta (no voice calls, i know; just chat). and, in time, i kept in my phone all simple apps that will not put another service hanging in OS`s background.

i have another problem in bm2.1 with alarm clock. it will drain my battery (because it rings for an hour :) and i think - i`m never awake to see :D , the display is on in the "snooze" time. it is killing me. waking up is killing me :) )

btw: a wipe battery status and a complete cycle ? are you aware of the USB bug (i know i read it here somewhere)?
[G1 Android Development] :
The final plea from a broken man...

Well as it has saddened us all the news of RK I'm sure all will agree what an amazing job he has done and he truly deserves his break and his new phone which I'll come back to shortly. (Just quickly does your wife have a sister interested in a Homer Simpson wannabe and is she earning enough to buy me a 4g?) ;)

Now to my plea…

As you all know my problems with Biffmod 2.1 have been epic to the fact I had walked away from it and the dev'ing team but god damn it all I can't let this go and my one and only chance to finally get this working is to come before you all on bended knee's. I need some wonderful soul to do a clean install on a G1 including gapps and then switchrom/bart back it up and to share that with me. I don't want to stop developing this wonderful rom but this really is my only hope. My fate lies within your hands! (Okay yeah so its a little melodramatic but hey I ain't to proud to beg!) :D

Now to RK…

Sir it was an absolute pleasure and an honour and you will be sorely missed but no one deserves it more fella, you have poured your heart and soul into this and I know I speak for all when I say we wish you and your family all the best mate and thank you for everything.
[G1 Android Development] droidmage:
@Shadow have you done ezterry's new radio port? I would make and upload a nandroid for you but I dont think it work if we're using different radios/spl.
[G1 Android Development] EternalSoil:
I have never had a problem with it in the past draining battery. And now that I think about it, it was draining before I put it on there. I don't think it's any apps I installed after flashing. I let it settle a while and was only messing with settings.

I'm running the Biffmod - red theme.

I also forgot I'm running ADW Launcher.

I have turned off most, if not all, of the shiny things for appearance.

I knew a Froyo ROM would use up more battery life, but I thin there has to be a leak somewhere. Something that's constantly using my battery.

Also, I like the thing ezterry suggested with the running services thing.

The only things that are running when it's just sitting are:

Sense Analog Clock

Google Messaging Service

Touch Input

MediaScannerService (says "restarting")
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
First Shadow, My wife absolutely loved your comments and she laughed so hard. But sorry she doesnt have a sister. lol anyways. Thank you very much Shadow, I tried my hardest to keep the community happy and keep the G1 alive and I am happy that I was able to spend my G1 days with such awesome people like yourself. I will enjoy my time off, but I will be back and ready to start deving again just with the 4G. Now because you asked Shadow and you asked so nicely what I will do that I still have my G1, I will Flash Biffmod with the Biffmodgapps and then Bart back up and I will post the .zip on the gdocs. (I just sent you an invite again). Just to add in there I am using ezterrys new radio/spl so try to upgrade if you havent already. And if you dont want to upgrade let me know and I can figure out how to go back to regular.

Thank you again Shadow. and thank you all.
[G1 Android Development] Lateralos:
duuude, definately glad you're moving onto better things but i seriously have never seen anyone so dedicated to their g1, your support was literally the best i've ever received, for that i thank you and shall donate when i get my first pay check :D
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Heres an update on Shadow's case...I gave him a copy of a clean install of BiffMod V2.1 and BiffMod Gapps via Bart Backup. He recovered my backup and so far so good. He I am sure will keep us updated and let us know how successful it truly is. I will say though that everybody should update there radio and spl to the new ezterrys. He adds a nice 15mb of ram and the speed increase is noticeable and very nice. Just make sure you flash the special 2708 version of BiffMod found on his Radio/SPL thread.

Thank you all again for you support and kind words.:D
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
No, I don't think the issue you are having is anything to do with your Radio or SPL. I'm not sure why you are experiencing the issue. But, the new radio and SPL that I am running from ezterry is beyond awesome. Up to you weather you want to give it a go or not.

As far as your market, perhaps wiping with "SuperWipe" and re-flashing BiffMod & GApps will fix it. I think it's worth a shot.

Safe journeys to you! You have been a saviour and a blessing! Thank you for all of your hard work an dedication. PEACE!

apps2sd not working on this rom? HELP

I just installed this rom today, I followed the directions to the letter and when I Use move2sdenabler. nothing happens. I love this rom its superfast. any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Dude those look awesome.

Also just to let you all know The New driver of the BiffMod Train is going to be shadowch31 so welcome him as the leader. I know he will do a great job. He has done a lot for the G1 community and he will drive this Rom to awesome and better places. Thank You Shadow for stepping up and have fun.
[G1 Android Development] captaincrook:
Was thinking maybe Ohsaka or terry but eh, I trust your decision. Good luck in the future.
[G1 Android Development] jhr5474:
oops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nevermind, I figured it out. Thanks anyways.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
I asked Ohsaka he doesnt have time, But trust me Shadow is a perfect fit. He built 2 wonderful eclair and froyo roms prior to joining the BiffModSquad. He is a perfect fit. He will do you all justice. The BiffModSquad works as a Team that is why we bring you guys the best Froyo Rom around cause unlike other Roms its not run by just 1 guy or a few we have a group of Devs that work together.
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Awesome! Welcome shadowch31 and Thanks for stepping up!!

:cool:

Nice work
[G1 Android Development] ratchet789:
Welcome shadow lead us to a bright future in biffmod history. RK has trust in you so does all of people who use Biffmod.
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Thanks. Would you prefer if the infinity or the BiffMod logo was in the center of them all?

I like mixing it up. I noticed if I put the logo down too far, the launcher blocks it and usually, I have some sort of widget in the center of my screen (clock, calendar, or what have you).
[G1 Android Development] magnummandel:
Hey there!

My first post here. I just want to say a big THANK YOU to RK for his great work. I love this ROM since I tried 2.0. Sad to see you go, but there's hope in the remaining team members... and there's another part of the community awaiting your ideas :o
[G1 Android Development] EternalSoil:
Am I correct with these in THIS THREAD

And do I need that specific recovery? I'm on 1.7.0 just not the cyan one.

I have a MT3G though. Would I be better off using the EBI0 from THIS POST instead?

Then do I then just need the current Biffmod that I have, or is there a different one?

Sorry for all the questions but I love being able to have the best stuff with the best speed. This has nothing to do with the fact that my girlfriend is getting the OTA today...
