Just a Q about the Droid X keyboard. Seeing as how the keyboard was ripped from a device with a higher resolution, would that be the reason why it doesn't work so well? If so, I recently dusted off my Cliq XT and installed the 2.1 Motorola dump and they keyboard there works fantastic and the resolution is the same as the G1. Could it be ripped for use on the G1?
[G1 Android Development] arsonist63086:
suggestion for the new biffmod ... ok been noticing that the g1 cant shear its data connection with multiple apps it will disconnect one app from the network to run the 2nd app that needs data connection... example running an IM client and then opening up the browser will disconnect the im client.. examp 2 - downloading something from the market and then refreshing gmail or google voice and it will stop the download.... plz see what you guys can do im running biffmod 2.1 radio-2.22.23.02
[G1 Android Development] KyuubiKing:
Does the size of the SD card affect how fast the ROM is? Cuz this ROM is awesome but I only have a 2gb card. Is there any other way to make it faster besides maybe getting a new card?
[G1 Android Development] :
Its not the size of the card it's the class, class 6 is always recommended for optimum performance, class 2 being the low end.
[G1 Android Development] motoman234:
I agree, I personally cant get a2ext to work either. Its not just biffmod, its almost all froyo roms that supports a2ext.
[G1 Android Development] sergioiacobucci:
The best ROM by far...

Just like to say thanks Biffmod....this is by far the fastest and most stable Froyo ROM I have used.

I'm getting 4.259 MFLOPS which I'm happy with :)

So thanks a bunch

FC Gmail

Using the 1.5 test1 with the oc kernel. Getting force closes on gmail, and am missing adw settings. Anyone have any ideas?

* Reflashed gapps, fixed adw settings but not gmail.
[G1 Android Development] sergioiacobucci:
I had those issues with RC3 thats why I don't use it. Have u flashed the latest GAPPS? If you have then I would wipe and reflash everything again
[G1 Android Development] Defgarden:
I'm running the OC Kernel, and since I've been doing so, speed has gone up dramatically, but also have a keyboard problem. It seems like since OCing, 1 out of every 10 or so keypresses don't register when using my physical keyboard (G1). It happens on every app that uses any sort of text box (messaging, facebook, anything). I constantly have to go back and delete things and re-enter letters because half my words will be misspelled. This definitely was not a problem before applying the OC kernel.

Anyone else have that problem?

speed is great though!
[G1 Android Development] sleepyfu:
Edit: Since I don't have any ext on the SD, ROM flashed, booted, no reboot. Changed settings than Gapps flashed. good to go :)
[G1 Android Development] Duffelbag:
first post here, long time troll!

So I've tried a bunch of ROMs on the forums here and this is my favorite so far. Seems stable, installed a few hours ago. Fast Speeds, good apps and responses.

About the overclocking utility. It can be done from a bootloader correct? How do you know when it has successfully installed? I flashed the OC update before the ROM and then gApps, is this correct?
[G1 Android Development] sleepyfu:
At home screen press menu then goto Settings, or find Settings in the app drawer.

Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Running > ADW.Launcher > Clear Defaults.

Press Home, you should get a pop up window with 2 launcher choices > check the box 'Use by default' > select the other Launcher.
[G1 Android Development] motoman234:
Go into settings then "about phone" and it will tell you what kernel is installed. I dont think it will work if you flash the kernel before the ROM because the kernel in the ROM will override it. I've always flashed kernel after the ROM.

Hey anyone know of any black bar theme that would work for the phone, i need something simple and the ones I have keep throwing me into a boot loop.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
So all you want is a nice black bar theme nothing special right? Cause if that is the case I will theme this with black bar tonight and should have it up tomorrow as long as Biff doesnt mind, which if I know him he wont.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
You asked for it so here you go, this is a Black Bar Version of BiffMod V1.5 Enjoy. If you want a total Black Themed version let me know I can can make one also. I wanted to yet again thank Biff for making such a great rom. Hope you dont mind. If you want you can add this to the OP.

Remember to flash the gapps also. You can use the Gapps the were released on 08/14/2010 I did and they worked perfect.

This rom + firerat's 1.38b patch (for apps2ext) = the bomb!

Nearly flawless. This is the most enjoyable rom I've used since SuperD.
[G1 Android Development] LuckyJ26:
I really love this rom and I've been using it daily, but lately it has been acting up on me. Recently it has randomly been rebooting itself at least once in 3 hours or so. I hope this trend doesn't continue...
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Really? a log cat would be nice. Or some other info like what are you doing on your phone at the time of reboot? what are your CPU speeds? that kind of stuff.

Very interested in this. Whats the new implementation? I found the other way VERY slow.
[G1 Android Development] SeriVolk:
Thanks for your work Royal Knight, even though you where unfortunatly a few hours too early since 1.6 is out, but can I flash the Black Bar version over the regular Biffmod 1.5 without any trouble since 1.6 doesn't really anything that I need at the moment?

I'm actually one of your first couple subscribers on youtube, awsome work on the video reviews I have to say.

And of course awsome work Biff for everything put into this rom
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Class 2 is what the G1 came with. Class 6 is optimum for the G1. Class 10 (what I have) is a waste on the G1. But still fast. lol

I tried to flash the rom and follow the instructions (wipe fastboot, formatting sd ext partition and repairing the file system) but my device don't start. I have the new spl and radio. I have flashing spoofspl, rom biffmod2.1 porting for 2708, GAPPS. My magic 32b don't want to know to start. Whit other rom I don't have any problem, but with biffmod i don't understand what happens.

Can someone help me please?
[G1 Android Development] ibraheeemz:
Thanks. downloading :)
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Wow, this is a curious problem. Can you provide some specifics? Exactly which SPL and radio are installed? I assume you are using Amon-RA recovery? What other ROM have you successfully installed using the same SPL and radio? When you say device won't start, what do you see exactly? Is there anything in the .Android folder on your SD card?

PS: You might want add a signature to your profile with info on your phone, SPL, radio and recovery.

[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Strange...there is no reason you should be having this problem if other ROMS install. Only thought would be corrupted download. I'd delete all the downloaded install files and start over. Just to be clear, here is the procedure I would follow.

1) Download Ohsaka Superwipe from below and copy to SD card

2) Download Biffmod 2.1 2708 port from http://sandbox.devnull.name/android/biffmod-files/BiffModV2.1-2708port_S.zip and copy to SD card

3) Download BiffMod Gapps from the OP of this thread and copy to SD card.

3) Download Firerat's Spoof SPL from below and copy to SD card

4) Delete any files in the .Android folder on the SD card

5) Reboot to recovery

6) Nandroid/bart backup current ROM (optional)

6) Flash Ohsaka Superwipe. Power down phone and then reboot to Recovery.

7) Flash Spoof SPL in Recovery

8) Flash Biffmod 2.1 2708 port in Recovery

9) Flash Gapps in Recovery

10) Reboot.

You did not mention that you were using a custom MTD partition, so these instructions assume you are not.

Only other thing I can think of would be a problem with the SD card. It wouldn't hurt to copy all your files from the SD to your computer, wipe and repartition the card and then put your files back on the SD.

[G1 Android Development] davil124:
any updates release coming in the near future? just asking. tks for all the great work so far.
[G1 Android Development] :
Oh there is going to be an update but not just yet, I have put BiffMod on a Slim Fast diet and the team are working away on things, EZTerry, Ohsaka and myself have had some very interesting conversations regarding BiffMods future and direction. And never worry about updates or releases, we just prefer to put out something worth putting out than updating every five minutes. Thanks for your understanding and support.
[G1 Android Development] nakeman:
it would be nice if possible to update adw first as a separated addon :)
[G1 Android Development] takumi2k4:
Slim fast diet?! That stuff doesn't work man. ;)

Joking aside, whatever you guys do, keep doing it. Biffmod as it is, is already quite amazing. Yes, there's some issues once in a while but considering the fact that the granddaddy of all Android can still keep up with most of the new phones is really an achievement for the community.

Sad to say that I've started to encounter some weird issues starting today. Like, my phone froze halfway through as the lockscreen was loading. My music was still playing, but I couldn't control it. It was stuck in a very dimmed screen and the screen wasn't working, nor did the volume keys worked so I had to pull the battery out.

Another thing is the battery, I'm using a 2300maH extended battery but I feel like I'm running on a standard battery. My daily use: sending about 100 texts per day, about an hour to two with just listening to music using PowerAMP. Push GMail, Tweetdeck and Beautiful Widgets syncs every 2 hours, that's it. I take it out of the charger at 6:30 am, and by the time I sleep at midnight, there's about 25% of the battery left. And I think this is due to the 2708 kernel.

Yeah, 25% of the battery is a lot but let's just say a night of epic partying without a charger in hand got me in huge trouble with my gal. :(

But other than that, that's really all the issues I have. I've been debating on if I should switch back to the old radio and maybe even Eclair, but school has gotten me so busy, and I don't have time to do all of that lol. Anyway, yeah, keep up the good work guys! Can't wait to see what you guys got in store for us.
[G1 Android Development] ForTehWolf:
Looking forward to future updates, BiffMod has been an amazing ROM
[G1 Android Development] feckweed405:
Thanks you Shadowch31, EZTerry, and Ohsaka for carrying the amazing torch from Royalknight and Biff. Love your blue theme too. BiffMod rocks on my MT3G and is almost as fast loading gmail, gtalk, calendar, messaging as a friend running Eclair on a Droid X and fits into my pocket! Take your time on the updates and thanks again for the amazing ROM guys!!

What the pro and cons of a Biffmod specific ADW Launcher addon compared to the one available in the market?
[G1 Android Development] themonio:
I had done everything in the same order before exposing the problem. Also, I formatted with gparted my sd card and then I run the procedure. I didn't use oshaka superwipe but i have erase with fastboot (fastboot erase system -w;

fastboot erase boot; reboot to recovery; full wipe; flash spoofSPL; flash rom with porting; flash gapps; reboot).

With the same procedure I flashed cm 6.1 rc1 winth kernel for 2708 and it was quiet corret.

I never have any problem with rom flashing.

It is the first time that I have a problem, I don't understand why it happens only biffmod (2.01 or 2.1).

Thenxs for the support...
[G1 Android Development] nakeman:
good question.

i tried the latest release ADW launcher 1.3.3 standalone from Market. it runs much slower than the system flash one...besides, the size of it (standalone) is much bigger.
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
I am sorry you are having a problem. I still suspect the problem may lie with a corrupted download.
[G1 Android Development] :
I'm looking at making a custom ADW Launcher that is also being put on a diet. So far my favourite and most stable has been 1.1.5 and will be that I will use as a base to make our very own custom lightweight adw.

[G1 Android Development] ezterry:

[G1 Android Development] ratchet789:
theres also a angry birds game on xda that doesn't have ads in it but ill try this and ill find the link to the other angry birds

edit: heres the link but the apk was removed i do have the apk on my computer but wont give it out dont want to cause troubles

heres link
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
That modified apk did nothing to improve performance on older Android devices. (I and a few friends all had the exact same results on 32B's)

The good news is that Rovio announced today (along with their release of Angry Birds Seasons) that they are working on a graphically lighter version for older Android devices and it should be released in the near future.
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Install "Ad Free" from the market to remove ads.

Then with my script it is at least playable for now. Rovio announced the lighter version awhile back... I wouldn't hold my breath on it though.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Awesome job with the script! I installed Gscript Lite from the market... works perfectly. It's now back to the speed it was at before this last update.

Think you could do one for the new AB Seasons?
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Yeah, I use Gscript too. That way I have an icon to click for AB.

I dont have the "seasons". Are they free?

If you have DDMS or logcat open when you run a program, you can see the Activity/Intent/Component information for it. Thats all you would have to change in the .sh file to make a new one....
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Yeah... Seasons is free. It's got christmas and halloween levels. I'll check with ddms later and see if I can work it out myself then... I didn't realize it was that easy.

Would that work with any game that's slow then?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
:)

remember Live wallpapers in CE2.0 ;)

daft thing is I went out of my way to add Angrybirds to the lwp script so it uses 3D , lol

Anyway

su
sed s/angry/grr/ -i /sd-ext/userinit.d/15GPU_perms
sh /sd-ext/userinit.d/15GPU_perms

will revert that
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
I do remember. We had a hell of a time getting folks to use it correctly.

So, is your all-in-one still needed for stuff? I haven't used it since switching off of CE. I didn't think it was needed anymore... or is it just being build right into things these days?
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
It's one of those weird situations where by turning off the 3d permissions, the game is prevented from calling more advanced OpenGL functions. So it ends up running faster because it can't use more system resources, instead it just spams the log with 'unimplemented API function call'. The "lite" version will probably just remove those function calls by hand...lol
[G1 Android Development] ratchet789:
alittle help

hey could someone do a step by step way to install the angrybirds.su from gscript i have everything i need but couldn't get to work right but ill keep trying to make this work.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
yeap, that is how I got Live Wall Papers working in CE2.x

infact, if you look at the 3d kernels I did for CE I had notes in the init.rc about dumbing down permissions ;)
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
Biffmod is the only rom to actually use the scripts correctly

other roms just get the full script to run on boot .. lol

tbh, I seldom use lwp

swap, don't use that at the moment

the remount script, I use it all the time

shabang, most of the scripts it targeted have shabangs now anyway

fb fix, new market version fixed g1s

random bootanimations, thats new.. a fun waste of time

( but will save you 2.6mb system space without loosing bling if you are smart ;) )

datadata binds, are great, I belive they are included in biffmod

a2sdext script.. not used if for weeks .. Magpie ;)

dalvik 2 sd , I never needed it as I had NoneDanger ( so my dex was on /cache )

it was for the guys who were daft enough to flash DangerSPL and were desperate for space on data

Just re-flashed Biffmod 2.1 after re-rooting my phone from scratch and it works perfectly! I havent flashed a theme and I might not since my phone is so fast. I use ADW 1.3 so i can have an extended dockbar and it hasn't slowed my phone down. So basically thanks to the crew for this awesome ROM and I look forward to any and everything you guys put out.
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
I hate ADW Launcher. Kinda prefer the stock launcher, myself. Was hoping in to still have the option of running stock launcher in Biffmod 2.2. I like that it's plain with addons optional. I used to steer clear of ROMs that had ADW just because I don't like it. Launcher Pro is better IMO but, I honestly like the stock one the best. Just wish the background of it was transparent.

Just thought I'd add my 2 cents.
[G1 Android Development] KyuubiKing:
Are you guys gonna use CM 6.1? The phone and message button on lock screen looks cool
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
We will always include the stock Launcher by default.

We are discussing new ways of delivering the addons...but they will always be optional.

Our next release will include all the new Cyan goodies like the lock screen and gestures, etc...
[G1 Android Development] cosmique:
wow cool, when will this be?
[G1 Android Development] vermaekansh:
willing to see that thing also....

please just make sure next release contains 2d and 3d galery...as sometimes 3d galery laggs a bit....thanks

[G1 Android Development] Firerat:

much better than gscript

@tsheeley will probably remember it from the CE days ( was called ASE back then ) , when you could flash a boot.img in rom

not sure if it has root yet. but thats easy to get round

afunction () {
id
return
}
su -c afunction
[G1 Android Development] :
Well your 2 cents was wasted. Next time ask before 'pressuming'

The rebuilt adw launcher will be an add-on and not a replacment for stock, also before judging you might want to wait till it's finished before you start slagging it off.

Just my 2 cents :D :P :D
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Very cool.
