No I moved the CMTheme.zip to the rom folder, just use that .xml file to restore your settings
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Well if you get random reboots you'll probably want to make your ext smaller, but if not then I wouldn't worry about it
[G1 Android Development] CamoGeko:
How do I use the xml file?
[G1 Android Development] prusokas:
I realy like this rom but theme is not my style how can i remove it ;)
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
To use XML just put on sdcard. Go to settings-cyanogenmod settings-user interface-tweaks extra-select theme. Then select it.

To change theme port one and flash it
[G1 Android Development] CamoGeko:
Trying to restore from Ti backup, everytime I select the apps that I want and click restore it freezes and reboots the phone. Why is that?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
not sure exactly, so you have swap and everything set up?
[G1 Android Development] cmsullivan:
How do I get the theme on the front page with the multiple unlockers on the lock screen? thats the whole reason I downloaded this rom lol
[G1 Android Development] jumpman707:
^^^its an app called widget locker . hey sparks is possible to flash any cyanogen 6.1 theme over this new rom?. SUPER fast rom :cool:
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Yeah any theme is compatible, and no it's not an app for the lockscreen, it's in CMSETTINGS
[G1 Android Development] antinerd:
Super rom!

Love the black chrome theme and the speed in 1.6.2! Also, great choice of added in apps. This rom is awesome just the way it is. Thanks for the New Year's Day gift!
[G1 Android Development] CamoGeko:
Yah I think everything is set up. Even tried installing apps from the Market, everytime system reboots during installation. :confused:
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Probably your ext partition is too big!
[G1 Android Development] CamoGeko:
Yah, thats what I was thinking as well. Just re-partitioned it, 512mb, 64mb for swap, ext3.

EDIT: Nope, its still restarting. I'm running out of ideas now lol :(
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
I thinking swap isn't too friendly with this launcher for some reason, I'm trying out compcache again. What I did was:

$ su

# /system/bin/swappy off

Then I set compcache to 24%, and vm heap size @ 32m

Edit: yup seems compcache working much better now
[G1 Android Development] CamoGeko:
Oh, yeah swap not working for me lol. Ok mate, trying compcache now! Will report back.

EDIT: Ok, turned off swappy. Set compcache to 26% ;) rebooting now.

EDIT2: Rom is working noticeably faster now but I still can't install any apps :(
[G1 Android Development] cmsullivan:
How do you set up the messaging lockscreen tab because when I attempt to use it, it does nothing...thanks by the way this is a GREAT rom
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
You have to program it under cm settings and select applications under input settings. Then select messaging
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Yay

Going to download right now and give it a go. Thanks again bro. Ill report back as always.:D
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
NP, its been fun making this rom ;)
[G1 Android Development] tribalartgod:
Wow! Just wow! Yet another amazing ROM. THANK YOU! :-D ...I haven't set up any cache settings or anything yet. So far, this is faster than any other ROM yet. I did my normal "strip it down" so i can inject my own ringtones, etc.

Everything works great! Thank you all again. :-)
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
I'm downloading it now
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Have fun ;)
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Could you share your ringtones?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
So what do you think about the launcher?
[G1 Android Development] Trek55:
Once again thanks for rom update, it's getting better and better and fast, just wish I could change the battery, signal and wifi statuses ontop to just conventional looks, just hard to see, thanks again for the hard work.
[G1 Android Development] CamoGeko:
Still cant get any apps to install or restore backup, so far I'm afraid to say not a good experience. Never had anything like this happen before with a rom.

:(
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
I just noticed on your signature that you added the custom mtd, how's that running so far?
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Try to fastboot erase, then superwipe, then wipe normal wipe then, should work now
[G1 Android Development] Trek55:
working really well so far.
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Better than without it?
[G1 Android Development] sb56637:
Hi everyone, thanks so much for Sparksmod! I am currently running 1.6.1, and it hasn't force rebooted yet, uptime of 10 days. Before with other mods my phone would constantly lock up and reboot frequently throughout the day. I really appreciate the stability of this superb mod.

So, to upgrade from 1.6.1 to 1.6.2 can I just flash the zip from recovery without wiping my phone?

Thanks a lot!
[G1 Android Development] Trek55:
actually I never try without..since it's working well so far didn't even bother trying it without ..
[G1 Android Development] jacklc000:
What partition layout are you using...and are you flashing FR Boot after flashing gapps?
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
You have to wipe, sorry it's with the changes that's why
[G1 Android Development] sb56637:
Thanks for the fast reply!

What's the best way to backup my apps and settings and restore them later?

Is there a changelog for 1.6.2?

Thanks again to everyone involved for letting me run the newest and the bestest on my old G1!
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Just use titanium backup from the market and backup them from there haha.

the changelog will be with sparksco
[G1 Android Development] sb56637:
Thanks again! And the Titanium backup that is included with SparksMod 1.6.1 will work to backup my apps? What about my settings?

Thanks for the fast support, sorry I'm ignorant!
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Settings are easy, just remember what you used and re-enter them :P
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
DON'T USE CUSTOM MTD's FOR THIS ROM
[G1 Android Development] Trek55:
so recommended to removed custom mtd?
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
You heard the boss, remove it haha
[G1 Android Development] tribalartgod:
Here is how I have the ringtones setup. These are property of their respective owners. I downloaded from zedge, converted to ogg with Format Factory so they can be copied right into the ROM itself. :-D

http://www.multiupload.com/Q18US4C5VV

What you see is what you get, if it's missing, it's because I don't use it, and therefor removed it from the ROM.

The launcher is sick! Extremely fast and smooth. I dig the Gingerbread keyboard too. It is definitely more forgiving than prior keyboards. GREAT ROM!

Sidenote: For those of you that can't read the time, notifications, etc., it's because you haven't set either a Stock Bar or Stock_Black Bar in CM settings.
[G1 Android Development] tman7510:
1.6.1 to 1.6.2

What has changes other then the launcher..I use launcher pro love the widgets it comes with and is very smooth. I don't care about gingerbread launcher so I'm wondering if it is worth upgrading. It is a real pain to have to wipe and restore. If it were a no wipe update no big deal.
[G1 Android Development] asb123:
havent really used your roms in the past. Speed seems good. Battery life - we'll see.

My only complaint is that the animations are VERY offside, had to turn them off. The theming is also very un-professional.

Due to the Dream scene being a boneyard lately, and that this rom seems fast and stable I think ill keep it.
[G1 Android Development] MrBurrito:
Hats off to you Spark, your ROM is very smooth and fast, but the theme you've selected is an eye sore, im gonna try flashing one of chris villani's themes over this and hope for the best.
[G1 Android Development] d12unk13astard:
So don't use custom mtd for 1.6.2.micro or is 1.6.1 ok to use it on? Was reading up on firerats thread and wanting to check it out, however if it conflicts with 1.6.1 also I'll probaly just pass since this is my everyday rom I use.
[G1 Android Development] CamoGeko:
Ok so wipe wipe wipe. Will do that tomorrow, hopefully it works because I really like this rom and wanna keep it.
[G1 Android Development] d12unk13astard:
Also for everyone complaining about the theme, if you would have actually read back a few pages he explained it's his custom themed update to 1.6.1 and one of the reasons why he almost didn't release it was because of people *****ing about the look of the theme. Dunno if it's any faster then 1.6.1 but just be happy he released it for anyone to try it out, I'm sticking with 1.6.1 just cuz I'm satisified enough with how stable and fast everything is ruuning.
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Thanks for the compliment BUT if the theme is an eye sore, flash something else pretty simple

To everyone that is complaining about the theme, just keep your mouth shut okay? honestly can you do better than sparksco? I'm pretty sure you can't so just flash the rom and be happy you have the fastest rom EVER!
[G1 Android Development] fonsigno:
sorry where is the link download of sparksmod 1.6.2????
[G1 Android Development] d12unk13astard:
Its in the 1.6.1 link, sparksco just hasn't updated the changelog/links yet.
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
I actually did the fastboot wipe, ohsaka wipe, recovery wipe & SD Re-Partition, after 3 failed attempts. Then flashed ROM & Gapps, booted up, switched off Compcache, set up apps2SD & swap, rebooted, logged in & sync'd. ROM is running beautifully now. Very fast & smooth.

I will now restore my apps from backup.

Thanx Sparks, Blah & All involved! :D

Yea! So there! HAH!!!

I personally think the theme is hott. :)
[G1 Android Development] CamoGeko:
Wooohooo I just installed an app! :D

Finally it works, thanks to sparks & blahbl4hblah for great help! 2nd time lucky eh.

Now I'm gonna restore my backup with Ti and at last have a good play around with customizing this rom.

As for settings, not gonna enable swappy this time and just use 26% compcache, Jit enabled and 32mb vm heap.

Edit: Ok, turned out a bit slower than expected, so gonna disable compcache and install Swapper 2 from market to control swap. See if its faster this way. :)
[G1 Android Development] nakeman:
mm... i dont like themed rom.. hope this rom would keep it clean.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
That is the highest this kernel goes, no need to go any higher. 528 Mhz is stock, 576 is OC'd. You can try flashing dumfuq's 614 Mhz kernel but it won't run as good as this kernel. If you want to test it out and let us know how it goes feel free to do so!
[G1 Android Development] cesarbric:
From my own experience, I allready did, you can change it with oc614-cm-2.6.34.5-signed.zip from dunfuq from the kernel corner wich it works fine with this rom, but it will drain your battery real fast, and that is the problem most of us owners of G1 have. Battery issues.
[G1 Android Development] cheezusweezel:
At the moment, on my G1, SparksMod 1.1.3 runs much more fluid then BiffMod 1.9.2. I'm thrilled, THANK YOU ... ;)
[G1 Android Development] ishb3w:
I normally don't post on here, but man, I just flashed this ROM, and I f*cking love it! I've been avoiding CM6 since I flashed the very first release that was out, I had a lot of problems. I decided to say screw it and give this one a shot, and it's amazing so far. Gives new life to my G1, haha.
[G1 Android Development] lolmensch:
http://billy.pl3x.net/android/eris_battery_icons.png

i'd like this ones. its way easier to read. just a quick look ^^
[G1 Android Development] jtroye32:
I might have missed something, but I'm running 1.1.3pre right now and the OP title is no longer pre, just 1.1.3. Did anything change between pre and final? If so can I just flash final over pre with no ill effects?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
ok, maybe we can get more people on here to say ya or nah lol. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's all green, it doesn't go from green to red.

Edit: For the current one I just look at what color it is to read the battery. There are three differnt types of green in this, Bright green and completely filled in is 100% charge, a little missing green is 80% charge, more missing and dimmer green 60% charge left, yellow is 40% charge left, orange is 20% charge left, and red is 10% charge left. Hope this helps
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Think it says use flashable wipe zip too. If unsure just nandroid and try. Think he's working on .4 now due to some issues with the script or something though
[G1 Android Development] jtroye32:
I like the battery indicator I've attached if you care to take a look. Someone made it for Superfroyo. It has percentage indicator built into the images so it doesn't have the supposed battery drain like turning on display battery percentage. It was a flashable zip for Superfroyo, so I don't know if you can just flash it over Sparksmod.. but you can open the zip and take a look at the images
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
You tell us lol, try a no wipe and if it doesn't work then yes you will need to wipe. I'm pushing 1.1.4 out right now because it has the market link fix for apps to show in the downloads section. You don't need to wipe your ext partition either, even if you need to flash the wipeable zip file.

Edit: 1.1.4 is uploading now to the dropbox, then I will change the title.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
That one looks good, however it is only for Superfroyo and not cm6. I can only use some of the icons, not all of them. I'll give it a shot on 1.1.5 since 1.1.4 is already uploading.
[G1 Android Development] stlouie65:
Can you do a NO WIPE Upgrade from 1.1.3 to 1.1.4?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
It could be me, but I have not noticed any increase with my 3g bars. Normally I get no bars or 3g at my house, or full bars of edge/2g. After I tried the hack it's the same, but it does seem to make my bars jump around a lot more. Let me test it out for a bit and see if there is a boost in signal.
[G1 Android Development] stlouie65:
SWEET Bootscreen... Very clean and nice looking... Thanks for your hard work Sparksco
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
I don't believe so, however if you would like to try it out and let us know how it goes please do. It seems that everyone's devices are different so no really way to know except for try it out.
[G1 Android Development] stlouie65:
I went ahead and did a Wipe (With your wipe app), reconfiguring now
[G1 Android Development] cheezusweezel:
Only with wipe, but GREAT, thx !!!
[G1 Android Development] stlouie65:
Sparks, GREAT ROM! Looking forward to future releases.
[G1 Android Development] fatduke720:
First off great rom. But does anyone else have issues of some apps just stopping and closing for example google search.
[G1 Android Development] stlouie65:
Try re-installing it. I have that with a couple of my 3rd party Apps, just a re-install and they are good to go
[G1 Android Development] Kristion:
Working superfast if using swap :) but personaly, I don't like the theme. It isn't as clean as those from castaway. Anyway, this doesn't mean that this ROM sucks. It's superfast and super stable, whoever doesn't like the theme can instal whatever theme he want's :)
[G1 Android Development] :
Anyone got a link for 1.6.1? Or if anyone is running it can someone attach the Phone.apk - Contacts.apk & ContactsProvider.apk for me please?

Edit: Cheers Geko, finally gave in and signed up for a rapid share account ;)
[G1 Android Development] CamoGeko:
You can grab v1.6.1 here:

[G1 Android Development] CamoGeko:
Thats 1.6.2 :p
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Why do you need 1.6.1 for? If you just want the stock theme and framework just pull it from cm6.1.0 since its the same framework.apk ect
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
1.6.1 is not available anymore, only 1.6.2 ;) for media share. Was thinking about removing 1.6.1 completely since its inferior to 1.6.2
[G1 Android Development] CamoGeko:
My bad mate, I didin't realise you are not sharing it anymore. I remember seeing it in the rom folder yesterday so I thought its still up for download.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Ok ill remove the download link for 1.6.2. Honestly for all of you people that didn't ask there is other themes on crivillani's thread, if the rom is "super fast" and all why do you even need to mention the theme
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Hahaha funny go make your own rom then if you want a plain rom. Or better yet just use 1.6.1 an be happy
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Yeah its still up, I'm still debating on what to do
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Its all good bro, ill just remove 1.6.2, I think the people I wanted to have it have it already
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
That's true. The theme is awesome dude.
[G1 Android Development] antinerd:
Thank you...

Thanks so much for putting up 1.6.2. as this is the fastest rom I've ever used. I'm a little saddened that so many people have chosen to criticise this rom for something as small as a theme, when you put your hard work into making this rom, and even cautioned everyone that this rom is themed with black chrome.

People, please be thankful for this rom, rather than complain about it. Rom building is not his job, he does this for fun...please don't take the fun of out it for him.
[G1 Android Development] asb123:
What's the terminal code for removing the stock launcher? I don't see it in the first post anymore.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Links Down

I'll be eventually be uploading this rom to my github. then you all can compile it from source if you'd like, just not sure when that will be done, thanks!
[G1 Android Development] mikirom:
Dear Sparksco,

thank you very much for your wonderful and 1.6.2 for all the work and passion that you spend with us. I follow you a long time and I am fascinated by your talent and your team.

The tone of the criticisms that we are facing today are not acceptable and therefore I agree with your choices.

In expressing my sympathy, I wish you and all your loved ones a happy new year and many more successes.

P.S. Forgive my bad English
[G1 Android Development] ReTro FuZe:

Now children....

Good grief, folks. There seems to be an overabundance of childishness and rudeness going on in this thread. Common courtesy, an attitude of gratitude and a lot less ego would go a long way.

For those looking for a different look, first, don't be rude about it. Second, do it yourself. Try Theme-Porter: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=737526

I am having an issue, I used RA recovery to wipe everything. Then your super wipe with reboot, Flashed 1.6.2 with auto reboot then flashed gapps and it auto reboot. Now I've been stuck on the G1 screen for a good 15 minutes...

Any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] anghellic:

Love everything about the rom. Super fast, stable, no lag, great battery life. All ya'll haters, quit trippin' and be thankful for what Sparks and the Team have given us, it's F***in amazing.

"- Password Protected File -

Please enter the password below to download this file"

how download 1.6.2 ? :>
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Well for one thing it's not my superwipe, I just added the auto-reboot to recovery, that's why when you flash it it says made by Osaka and Ezterry. Also Give more information, I'm not a mind reader
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Well just use titanium backup to delete it, but first install other launcher then remove it

Well did you meet the requirements? The new radio and spl, same with using ext3 or ext4?

I completely agree dude, that's why sparksco removed the link

I don't know it, so good luck
[G1 Android Development] garz:
crudd... i didn't even realize I never updated to new radio or spl. FML. can you shoot me over to where I can find em?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:

Can i use Firerats Custom MTD for the 1.6.1 rom?
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
We already went through this before in another post,

DON'T USE CUSTOM MTD WITH THIS ROM!
[G1 Android Development] d12unk13astard:
ahh ok, thought he was talking about the 1.6.2 specific rom. That would be my only gripe about this rom then lol
[G1 Android Development] d12unk13astard:
What exactly is the reason we can't use Custom MTD for the rom just wondering the disadvanatges?
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
From what I read, it's not completely compatible with the rom, i could be wrong though
[G1 Android Development] garz:
gahh, my pc isn't letting me use ADB. it cant pull the correct drivers in order to find the device. I am screwed.. Why couldn't these radio's/spl's be update flashable..:(
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
I think your barking up the wrong tree for that answer ;)
[G1 Android Development] ReTro FuZe:
guys....should i delete the 3 folders from the sd card again when i go to 1.6.2??? or just use superwipe and install?
[G1 Android Development] poetsong:
I just simply missed the 1.6.2 rom, what a pitty!!
[G1 Android Development] jamal717:
This roms nice :) a speedy froyo nice boot logo :) nice theme :) battery life is the best among froyos i think :) but im going to end up buying an extra battery for thoose moments when u cant charge your phone :) and i used the performance settings you had in your screen shot is that good?
[G1 Android Development] jamal717:
Is this better then yoshis? in u guys opinion
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
WOW. That's all I can say. Don't understand how everything went crazy. Glad I have .2 already.

To a few people.

Get adb working. Or find the flashable 14mb zip thread here and hope it goes ok. Or find a download of your drivers and put them in there.

U saw the theme. Can't get any more warning than that. Everyone should know u can flash those by now. You're messing up a good thing here and some of us don't appreciate the criticism about something my ten year old can change.

On a good note. Thanks team yet again. Working great as always. Think ill go back to adw but just personal taste. Maybe. Lol. U guys are great. Much appreciated
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Well I just increased the compcache default size to 32mb, so I'm going to test this beast out and report back later...and yes 32% compcache on firstboot! Which of course is not even a option in CM Settings
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
I deleted the folders. No ill effects here
[G1 Android Development] tribalartgod:
Just my $.02

I must say. Too many of you are ungrateful! Stop crying like little babies! If you don't like something about a ROM, then do 1 of 2 things. Either don't use it, and save the creators the headache of your *****ing, or theme it the way you want it!

There are quite a few things about EVERY ROM out there that I don't like. Then there are also things about EVERY ROM out there that I do like. I inject the stuff I like, and delete the stuff I don't. That is what ROOT is all about, changing the device software to YOUR specific needs/wants. That's why this ROM is called SPARKSMOD! It's not called tribalartgodMod, or someone elses s/nMod. If you don't like something, get over it. It WAS NOT CREATED FOR YOU! It was only SHARED with you.

Just an FYI... Nandroid is there for a reason. Get your base ROM from whoever you like. Then learn to theme it yourself. There are TONS of programs to help with this. If you don't know the basics of backup/restore of a ROM, you probably shouldn't have ROOT on your phone. Just my opinion.
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
WTH dude, how'd you get 32%?
