as far as i know swappy mean the percentage your phone uses swap;

that means, if you have a high swappiness like 90 your phone will store a lot on the sdcard; that is okay because you have more or less unlimited "memory" but always remember that your phone's memory is way faster than your sd card.

the higher swappy ther shorter is your sdcard's life ^^

(although i have no issues and my sdcard is about 1 year old with almost always swap)
[G1 Android Development] Haad:
thnx for the info. and wat about the swap partition and using a swap file which one is better?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
either way swap will degrade your sdcard a little, but the file isn't as bad as the swap partition. Swap partition is better for performance, at least that's what I've heard. It's a trade off, buy more sdcards for better performance, or use Comcache. Hear's an example. Say you have a class 6 sdcard, and you use a swap partition on it. You may not notice at first, but over time your sdcard will get slower and slower. You may even jump to the conclusion that it is the rom you flashed, instead of thinking about your sdcard health. Either way you loose something with swap. If you ever notice slow performance using ext or swap partition, it's your sdcard.

Sparks,

When I reboot to refresh (about once a day) and it comes back up my apps are gone and Widgets don't load obviously. I reboot again and they are back. Every time. Mt3g. Stock version and oc'd version. Have to reboot twice. No swap. CC on. 245/576 set CPU. Any idea why? Only issue I've run into.

Edit: It seems even on second boot cachemate and set CPU show up in app drawer but Widgets need to be set back up. Maybe because they are root access apps? Anyone else having that issue?
[G1 Android Development] runderekrun:
Came here to say this. I am getting this too. First reboot also takes forever.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
The next version is going to require a full wipe of everything, including ext partition, but the rom will come with titanium backup from now on. This should be the last wipe version, hopefully. Trust me when I say it will be worth the wipe because this rom really flies now. I've been testing it for about a day now. Here is a list of about 15 apps that will come stock with the rom from now on that can be removed from manage applications. Some of these apps were just moved from system to data. Audio hack, facebook, google voice, maps, titanium backup, astro, opera mini, xda app, development, DSP manager, new's and weather, cache cleaner, swapper2, talk, and wireless tether.
[G1 Android Development] mario999:
I know that this is the question that shouldnt be asked......but are you planning on releasing this soon? Would really like to give it a spin and most of the included apps are what I would use anyway.
[G1 Android Development] crodgers79:
There goes my weekend! (-;

Looking forward to your next new release! Too bad it's not a no-wipe update, but I understand your dilemma. Also it's too bad that I promised the Wife Unit that I'd do all of my household chores tomorrow! (-;

Chris R.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
yeah I know it's too bad about the wipe. I'll have a flashable wipe zip that will wipe everything that is needed before flashing. You might be able to get away with not wiping the ext partition, but if some of the apps that are included in the rom are already on the ext partition, then this could cause some issues. Hopefully this will be the last no wipe, that's why I'm getting the all the apps for the rom now, so that way I can just keep it the same. After moving some apps from system to data, the system partition will only be around 50mb or less, saving tons of room for the data partition. All around this rom runs much better, should be up by tomorrow.
[G1 Android Development] AustinAce:
Sparks rom isn't the only one that's doing it.

It happens too my friends mt3g whenever I run Firerats patch.

The patch runs through it process >

reboot>

stays on boot img. >

3 finger solute >

runs fine but widgets and apps are missing >

reboot again all apps are there but widgets need to be setup again.

I also noticed when you reboot after you setup everything again apps go missing again. Don;t know why.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
well the thing is that you have to wipe everything before flashing this rom. I'll have a flashable wipe zip that will wipe it correctly. Not sure if you'll be able to not wipe your ext partition or not. I need people to report what they did or didn't wipe before flashing.
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
I wiped everything in amonra 1.7.0. Everything. Wouldn't let me do fastboot erase. Think I need Eng spl for that.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
What spl do you have? Mine is 2005
[G1 Android Development] LOONEyRR:
yah its not the rom, it happens with all the cm6 roms, its an issue with the patch. it happened to mine as well. and id always have to double boot to get all my apks back, what i recommend doin is NOT flashin the patch. instead just use firerats custom mtd for the extra space, and then for swap just use swapper 2 that sparks put in the rom, ive been runnin my phone like this since his new version and havent had any issues, my phones still fast, u dont need to worry about the a2sdext that firerat has on his patch. sparks is a gangster with that. ive got the custom mtd and with like 90 apks flashed and still have 100mb its legit. :D

ps. yes i wiped everything. even tried fastboot. and if u wanna know what im running, ive gotttttttttt.....

Dev: For 1.1.3, consider changing the battery meter. It's great for visuals, but it's not much for determining battery level. Personally, I think the default Android one is best. But that's just me, I'm a minimalist.
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Mine is stock mt3g. Never changed spl just the radio.

Fastboot says:

sapphire pvt 32b ship s-on g

hboot-1.33.0006 (sapp30000)

radio-2.22.23.02

Wiped everything in recovery. Not using any script that is not in the rom already. Have a my touch so no need for the mtd patch for space. No space issues with the my touch. Using cc not swap with setup i mentioned before. If someone cares to give me an alternate setup i am totally willing to test things out and report back. Love this rom just having an issue with bootup. Willing to flash, wipe, start over, change spl, learn swap or anything else. I think there is already a flashable wipe somewhere. Maybe in chromatics rom thread. You think i should flash a new spl, wipe again, flash rom and set up swap? If so can you educate me on how to set up swap please. Will stick with 32mb to start but not sure how to go about it in recovery. Please advise. Thanks in advance. You think thats why chromatic has the script run every boot? Just a thought. Thanks bro :)
[G1 Android Development] nickeedoo:
You need Deathspl to pretty much do anything. This rom is no exception, you'll need DeathSPL. Flash spl, flash recovery, flash rom.

Now, is anyone else having GPS issues with this rom? I had to use Chromatic 4.5 so I can get to a friend's house, but I hate Chromatic. Too much theming and slowness. Makes me appreciate this rom even more :D

The problem with the GPS that I'm having is that when I tell it to get my location, it just sits and sits, for as long as I leave it. I left it for about an hour and it still hadn't found my location. Chromatic 4.5 could, please tell me what I can do to fix it :(
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
No i don't need death spl to do anything. That is an spl for the g1 to give it more internal space for the rom to run in. Also the firerat mtd patch does the same thing without having to flash death. But doesn't matter cause i have a my touch. No space issue so no mtd patch or anything else needed for anything.

I have no issues with google maps on this rom but don't know about the navi in the rom. Will test out later and getd back with you.
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Ok,

Flashed the eng spl 2005 successfully.

Now fastboot says:

sapphire pvt 32b eng s-off h

hboot-1.33.2005 (sapp30000)

cpld-10

radio-2.22.23.02

Will try wiping everything in recovery then fastboot erase system -w and start from scratch. Will report back asap
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Ok,

Fastboot erase system -w went fine. Rebooted into recovery wiped everything again. Flashed Rom and gapps. Rebooted. Set it all back up and still have the same prob. I'm lost I guess. Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Glad you like it :) So your on the new radio/spl combo?
[G1 Android Development] salazar1979:
Ya sparks ,I followed instructions from first post ,as everyone should before posting dumbass comments without even knowing how to change notification colors.so do y'all have suggestions on settings for my mem card
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
for the mem card just 32 swap, 512 ext4, rest for fat32

that's basically it
[G1 Android Development] salazar1979:
Ok,dumbquestion but here it goes.when it asks Swappiness I put 32,swapfilesize 32?
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
yeah that's it but depends on your card actually

class 4 is 40 40 for both
[G1 Android Development] salazar1979:
Ok,thanks for that clarification,,,I'm ordering a new mem card tommorow...gonna go for a high class..but for the mean time,,,what would u suggest for a class 1 mem card? Gonna experiment so I can see the difference with this card and a higher class,can't wait.thanks to all for info,keep up the good work.

P.S.

Reading through posts,,,,what's up with fireat and sparks?...
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
class6 is the best, or higher if you can, at least for froyo. I'm running the bare minimum class4 for froyo, but this rom is a beast I must say. Make sure you have a large ext partiton like at least 500mb, that way you can use the swap file on ext, not swap partition. The good thing about the swap file is you can change the size and swappiness of it without having to repartition your sdcard every time. I don't even have a swap partition, because it's not needed to use swap.

To change the size just do

$ su
# /system/bin/swappy on

Then change it to whatever you want. Then

# reboot

P.S. If you read through the post firerat thinks I'm too dumb to comprehend anything, were his exact words. And said, "if your using sparks roms, don't". So I took quite the offense to this...
[G1 Android Development] shivankit:
What's the use of the CM apps2ext.zip in your goodies folder if apps2ext is automatic in your ROM ?

And also what does apk remover do ? remove system apps ?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
basicly I'm going to remove the apps2ext because it's causing more confusion lol. But it's for any cm6 based rom that doesn't have apps2ext already. yes apk remover run as the same way as firerat's patch. The one that is not in the zip folder is the one you can just put on your sdcard. The other one flashes it to /system/etc/ of your phone. It will give you a list of every single app installed on your phone, system or not, then ask you which one(s) you want to remove. So basicly just run like this.:

$ su
# sh /sdcard/apk-remover.txt

or

$ su
# sh /system/etc/apk-remover.txt
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Thanks bro. That was exactly what I was goin to try.
[G1 Android Development] evilflame2:
Change default slide unlock programs

Hey is there a way to change the default slide messaging unlock to be Google voice instead of the default messaging app?

Update your Launcher! Where else could it be? That's right, in the good old goodies folder haha, and also here for convenience: http://www.mediafire.com/?s5cqbenz054txbi
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
No I don't think there is a option for that, wish there was because I use google text to.
[G1 Android Development] rawfire:
Sorry @ sparksco & other devs OF this ROM for putting negative comment without searching

I figured it out how to make changes n all in that.

Using it since morning, working great so far.

Better than other ROMS for Froyo.
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Damn, I love this, too bad I'll have to give up the sense theme for the update
[G1 Android Development] gcantu:
Just wanted to drop in and update I've been using this rom (with the huge update 1.4 & up) for almost two weeks and it has not slowed down one bit. I've flashed many roms and all of them slow down within a 2 or 3 days. This is a fast and stable rom! If its not than something went wrong Wipe, wipe & reflash!

hey guys anyone gott some good swapp settings for a class 2 card?

i kno class 2 is weak sauce but ill upgrade wenn i gott extra cash
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Try 32mb swapfile and 30 swapiness

That should work better
[G1 Android Development] xxpada:
thanks blah
[G1 Android Development] xxpada:
o and hey blah in setcpu on the info which tells me how much swap im using
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Well for me and sparks we both got at least 30+ of swap used, but that might just be us we don't know about everyone else
[G1 Android Development] xxpada:
you think with a class 6 more swap gets used? because most of the time i only have maybe like 10mb swap being used

YES!!!! Unfortunately its in the latest nightly build CM6 268 which i tryed today, you can change the messaging slide to whatever you like.

Also it has lock-screen gestures!! just write a M on your lockscreen and your market shows up, or whatever you set it too.

Nice to see these in this great ROM!!!!
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Well I reflashed things the way it was said from straight 1.4

and it works better, I actually got 40mb of swap used sometimes haha
[G1 Android Development] xxpada:
nice thats whats upp.. your 32-30 swappiness im using more swap now thanks bro
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Well that setup i told you is for class 2 cards, mine is 40 swapfile, 60 swapiness but that's because i got class 6
[G1 Android Development] xxpada:
so how much for one whats the cheapest?
[G1 Android Development] xxpada:
for a 8gb class 6.. whered you get yours
[G1 Android Development] sexy-me:
after i flash xm rom then came back to 1.4 it wont boot back up... ugggh
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
xm as in the hero rom?

You have to fastboot the boot and system for that rom

or it won't work

After fastbooting and erasing the boot and system itll be back to normal
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
i got a 4gb class 6 for 12 bucks on amazon, for 8 i think it was 20+ i think
[G1 Android Development] xillius200:
Have you removed mtd lol
[G1 Android Development] xxpada:
fosho imma browse
[G1 Android Development] sexy-me:
so all i have to do is erase boot and system and 1.4 will work
[G1 Android Development] sexy-me:
umm idk lol how u do that again lol
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Yeah pretty much haha
[G1 Android Development] sexy-me:
thanks for ur help but it still didnt work i guess i have to flash another rom
[G1 Android Development] xillius200:
Oo to remove mtd easiest just do superwipe and try sparks rom again :D
[G1 Android Development] HellRazorGod:
OK I did everything as per the instructions . I have the new bootloader / radio 2.22.28.25 . I wiped everything from fastboot then wiped everything from recovery,deleted the folders on sdcard . Installed 1.4 then 1.4.1 then gapps . I have a 512 mb ext4 and 32 mb swap . I'm getting the old school Audio Hardware Bootloop .

http://pastebin.com/bn5A68FB

Stuck on the Bootscreen . Calling 911 ..... Hello ? :S
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
2.22.28.25 doesn't work well with this rom, downgrade to 2.22.27.08 and itll work
[G1 Android Development] sexy-me:
i tired that to but after i flash xm hero and tired to flash back to 1.4 i dont go pass g1 screen but any other rom i can flash thats wired... lol
[G1 Android Development] cesarbric:
Edit your "mtdpartmap.txt" change whatever value you have to "0" , then reflash: FR-recovery and you are back with no mtd.

Good luck.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
What sense theme? You wount loose any adw themes as far as I know
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
We will update the source code abut once a week, like shadow says we don't want to update ever y five minutes haha
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
well me and cris use the sensemod launcher haha for the theme and the theme is most likely compatible with that only
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
No because 1.4 never ad the kernel extractor in it needed to run properly, unless your running danger spl. If your on the new radio and spl which you all should be by now ;) then just flash 1.4.1 over top of it then flash the gapps, its not rocket science
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
When I get home ill give you my recovery flasher, that will remove it and fix you patched recovery
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
We are going to need more information about the installation procedure you are using, thanks
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Oh I see, yeah I don't use sense, but a lot of people do ;)
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
That's true dude, well i'm going to test the thing we talked about last night right now. btw still 40mb :D haha

I think i already had the apps to ext haha, so I basically got screwed haha

cause now my data is using 28% while ext is using 14
[G1 Android Development] sexy-me:
thanks it had work
[G1 Android Development] sexy-me:
thanks but i dont need it now
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Just move data to ext, I still have 90mb available storage and all of my apps still:

$ su
# sh /system/etc/fr-patch141-BETA2.txt a2sd

Select yes to move data, and no to move fat32 froyo apps ;)

# reboot
[G1 Android Development] anghellic:
screenshots?

any screenshots for this new theme from castaway?

edit: Nvm. Looks very very nice. I'm loving the performance of this rom too. So far, No issues, and if I've had any, I've tweaked my settings and it works perfectly now.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
ok, well let me know if you want it just in case you need it again, I will need to know if you have g1 or sapphire ;)

You said you want themes?

Hey I just flashed this for the hell of it.....And I gotta tell you I didn't think it would be on my phone 2 hours.....Sorry no disrespect doubtin' you and all but I got to give it to you this is crisp and fast....I was impressed enough to port a theme to it because it might be my daily driver for a while. Thank you and if you want the theme it's pulled from Superfly by Htclay , sorry I couldn't handle them icons. Here you go.

THIS THEME IS FOR SPARKSMOD 1.4 ONLY

Mediafire-/http://www.mediafire.com/?bmxuyuon6t7m1p1

THIS THEME IS FOR SPARKSMOD 1.4.1 ONLY

Mediafire-http://www.mediafire.com/?m6cc2wc96pusqs4

Sorry for any confusion I use 1.4 and didn't realize 1.4.1 was different.

FOR ANYONE USING FENDER MY TOUCH-Just to let anyone curios know this runs excellent on the my Touch 3g 1.2. I flashed Sparksmod 1.4 and tiny gapps for 1.4 using included kernel. My phone is stock spl 1.33.0013 radio 2.22.27.08 hope this helps any confused my Touch 1.2 owners.
[G1 Android Development] mezner:
TMO-G1 with new hboot+radio, fastboot erase + ra wipe all inc ext. On 1st boot and 2nd boot, all is well, but from the 3rd boot on it can't get network signal (not data) and reboots itself, falling into a loop. Full wipe -> reflash and same issue. Flashing super d backup and anykernel works fine so hboot+radio update should be good. Just wondering if anybody have any ideas, thanks!
[G1 Android Development] Trek55:
Can you upload theme somewhere else, I can not download from drpbox. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] Trek55:
Can you tell me how to apply theme. Thanks..
[G1 Android Development] Edubyah:
Sorry about that added mirror and dropbox is working again strange huh?
[G1 Android Development] Trek55:
Thanks, could you tell me how to apply this theme..?
[G1 Android Development] Edubyah:
It's a flashable zip so ...

First -make backup

Second -enter recovery or rom manager

If using rom manager choose install from sdcard then choose SuperSpark.zip make backup when prompted if you haven't already and DO NOT WIPE when asked press ok.

Straight from recovery flash zip,choose zip,reboot

Does anyone know if I can install the 1.4.1 update on my Touch 1.2 already using 1.4 but I don't know if this is going to change my kernel?

Please PM me if you have questions about my themes I did not mean to discuss themes here this is development section and someone else's thread so out of respect for the OP just PM me or if enough people use this rom I will port all themes to it and start a thread just for SparksMod.

I'm gonna try this out :)
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Try superwipe before you flash, or use clockworkmod recovery

Has anyone successfully metamorphed the simplicity v1.2 theme to this rom and got it to work?? Any information on how to get it to work would be appreciated
[G1 Android Development] Edubyah:
Where do I find that theme and I will make it work!
[G1 Android Development] Edubyah:
Make sure you get the right version number they are the same as your release numbers- 1.4 bootloops on 1.4.1 so get 1.4.1-SuperSparks.zip
