G1 is not really worth messing with bro, I mean it's falling fast on the android chain of phones. The mytouch 3g is still a good phone, and still in the stores, unlike the g1.
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Yeah that's true haha, I do love my 3g i wish it was the one with the 3.5mm jack haha
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
yeah the g2 has all of that, plus just because it's not a full keyboard it is slim and sleak :cool:
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Haha yeah for sure, i'll see which one i'll get later on. Well I'm going to sleep

night dude, let me know about the PM i sent you sometime later
[G1 Android Development] LOONEyRR:
wooow... i did a fresh flash with the super wipe and now its saying it cant establish a reliable data connection when it says ui have service! wtfff.... :(

thank goodness for nandroid!
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Never use the superwipe with this, for some reason it doesn't work with this rom

I don't know why that is but it's my experience

Even after I flashed that then did the full two wipes i still had problems

so just use the old school way haha
[G1 Android Development] captinamerica:
Awesome ROM! Very snappy. I only have 2 problems. The green call button and home button do nothing. I wiped everything a did an ext4 partition. Any advice on solving this issue? thanks for the help.

Update: All the buttons work fine now. Not sure why, but after installing Gapps all the button issues were corrected. :)
[G1 Android Development] Spakainz:
I had similar problem with this rom, haven't work green call button too. Installed GAPPS and problem gone.
[G1 Android Development] LOONEyRR:
didnt you say everything was workin right, when you used it?? lol. and dude. i swear the phone was 983487630487607 times faster when i used the wipe. lol. there was no lag in between switching. only the ping. (that was from "gamer" remember???look it up if you dont know! lol lmao)
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
If SuperWipe messes up this ROM, then this ROM has issues.... Perhaps the latest update doesn't include a boot image or something? This wipe erases the boot partition.
[G1 Android Development] crisvillani:
Hey man sorry to hear that about ur g1, but I guess every device has its life span :-P, but anyway this is by far the greatest Rom I've used on my phone so I have to say thank you for all your hard work, and hhave fun with ur g2!!
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
Just ordered the G2 today! Longlive the beloved G1!
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Well it was my experience after I used it though. I'll restate what I said, it does work BUT maybe it was just how i did things. It did react faster than it normally did but sometimes I'd get FC but it'd be rare

yeah I said it worked, but after a while I just didn't really use it haha

I'll try using it again and then see how it goes this time around
[G1 Android Development] crisvillani:
Hey Sparks i have a question for you do u mind if i port this fully over to the HTC Magic 32A , and post it over in the Htc Magic forum, the development over their is quite low so maybe this rom will up the beat their, of course all credit will go to you, all i will do is add a couple mods, and appropiate kernels. Will wait for your answer before posting , just trying to get this rom to as many people as possible!:D

Crisvillani
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
I don't think he'd mind; but to make sure wait for him haha

I don't mind answering questions if you make the thread there

But if I remember, there's already one there. 1.1.5 version I think
[G1 Android Development] crisvillani:
Ya i believe he did but he closed it i think , and if he does let me ill need help so do come over and answer questions :D
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Sure, but that won't be until I get home cause I took off the internet on my phone

YES, I did haha
[G1 Android Development] crisvillani:
Np dude still havent posted yet probably wont till tomorrow , goin to continue to test for battery life etc. with 32A kernel
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Oh alright, so can you go 710? or no?

EDIT:

Just wiped using the superwipe and then normal wipe twice

I'll see how well it performs now after tomorrow afternoon
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
This rom does not have issues, it's a full rom. It's required of this rom to only flash my gapps, because it runs better that way.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
I'll be right there to buddy, I mean they already overclocked it to 1.9GHZ!!! That is just insane overclocking power for a cpu. And as soon as I get the G2 my G1 will be gone, in about two weeks. Long live Android!

Hope to see you all on the Android G2 development section
[G1 Android Development] dixon93:
Well guys.. same as me.. i will be leaving G1 as well.. maybe to some better android phones..

Here's the last video review of G1 using sparksmod 1.3 remix2..

So hope sparkco can put this video at the first post as well.. thanks alot and good job with your rom.. i certainly will miss you alot.. ^.^

[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Damn everyone is going to the G2, too bad I can't sell my phone then buy that beast of a phone haha. I mean I can but then I won't have the cash for the G2
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
Come on man, we need you on the G2 development forums helping us in all ways! Do whatever you got to do to get the G2! Haha!
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
So what is your "better android phone", just a curious question....
[G1 Android Development] kwrose14:
wifi error

Is there any type of a fix for this? I have flashed and re-flashed and still am getting error under wifi on the wireless settings.

Thanks for any assistance and potential solution.
[G1 Android Development] Rawdi:
can i do this and then install sparksmod rom as i want to do a clean install.
[G1 Android Development] dixon93:
perhaps still under my consideration,,haha i guess i need to raise some funds before i able to getting a new android phone in my country...
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
I know I should but it's money since I don't want to get the contract for the phone
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Just wipe twice and everything should be fine, what I did was

use the superwipe, wipe everything [data, cache, dalvik, battery, rotate, sd ext, then repair the sd ext] DO THIS PROCESS TWICE

everything should work

If your using the ramhack by ezterry then do this after that process run the spoof then reboot into recovery flash the rom, then gapps, then kernel and reboot then turn off compcache, jit off, uncheck low memory in message, check lock home in memory, then reboot setup swap and be sure that allow moving applications is checked
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Yes it's not hard actually it'll work like a charm
[G1 Android Development] Rawdi:
I have tried this but it keeps restarting. I wiped everything twice but it keeps booting. is there something that im doing wrong.
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Well did you even flash the new radio and spl?
[G1 Android Development] Rawdi:
today. i sorta gave up on sparksmod and i had tried the cyanogen and it worked fine but the sparks dont work. what shud i do. please help as i really like the sparksmod.
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
You didn't answer my question did you flash the new radio and spl that gives you the ramhack?
[G1 Android Development] Rawdi:
i flashed the new radio and spl that is on page 106. i followed the steps and i managed to install in on my g1 but i am having problems installing this rom. this is my problem.
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Well this is what I did and it worked for me

Use the superwipe.zip then wipe twice [data, cache, dalvik, battery, rotate, sd ext then repair sd ext] then flash the spoof, power down then reboot back into recovery and then flash the rom then gapps then kernel. use the 2.35.7 one not biffmods haha

then just turn off compcache, jit off, check only home memory lock reboot, then setup swap to 30 swapiness 32mb swapsize and besure that allow application moving is checked

This should fix everything, if not then I don't know what's wrong
[G1 Android Development] Rawdi:
can you please provide me with the links, if not where can i find them.
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
This is the superwipe:

[G1 Android Development] Rawdi:
thanks for your help. i will give it ago again and see how it goes. once again thanks mate.
[G1 Android Development] crisvillani:
so sparks do u mind if i post a modded SparksMod 1.3 which is ported to 32A HTC Magic in the htc magic forum ???
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
No bro I don't mind, go for it. Have fun with it to.
[G1 Android Development] crisvillani:
thank you now everyone in the htc magic forum can have a taste of this wonderful rom!!!
[G1 Android Development] dirtyrotten:
First flash SparksMod-1.2.2-Full.zip , next Update-1.2.3.zip , then full wipe & flash wipedatacachesystem.zip and only then flash SparksMod-1.3-Remix2.zip

I also had cyanogen and only such way, to me has helped...

Best wishes!
[G1 Android Development] stlouie65:
Sparks, so you're done with this ROM? Will you be cooking for another phone?
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
I believe he is goin to the g2.
[G1 Android Development] stlouie65:
Thanks. I guess I'll have to get me a G2 then. He COOKS some SWEET ROMS!
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Yes I'm getting the g2. The G2 4g has the same hardware as the new mytouch, it's just underclocked at 800mhz, but it's better than the mytouch 4g. and my g1 is old and tired, it's having a few issues, but nothing noticeable for me to trade it in. I'm probably just going to make themes to flash over the stock g2 theme, instead of using cyanogenmods roms. I mean there really isn't a lot I need to change with the roms.
[G1 Android Development] andy442:
Great rom....but I'm having an issue with the battery charging. It seems to take a long time for it to fully charge. I tried wiping the battery stats, but still same thing. Anyone else having this problem?
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Did you wipe twice?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
What speeds do you have for your CPU??

Set min all the way down, and max at 528mhz
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
G2 for $49

[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
What does wiping the 2nd time do that wiping the 1st time doesn't do?
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Well sorry, but for me wiping a 2nd time is just a precaution even with your superwipe
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Man I've been trying to decide between the two for a while. Does anyone know if they have the same boards like the original mt3g and g1 do? That would be nice if everything was compatible between the two like it is now.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
They both use the 2nd generation snapdragon processor, but mytouch uses sense ui, where the g2 is just the stock 2.2. Its just a matter of preference is all.
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Yeah. Well all that will be mixed around and changed here on xda anyway. Don't care for sense ui. Just mainly wondering about the boards like g1 and mt3g are both 32b. U know what I'm saying. So everything is cross useable between the devices.
[G1 Android Development] xxpada:
Can anyone help me? I have ext4 partition apps2ext is working I've done

Su

Ls sd-ext/app

And it shows apps on ext4 partition.

But every app I install fills up my internal storage..

Is there something I'm missing? Can someone please help? Thanks guys..
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Well how many apps do you have?

If your crazy with apps then 512mb might've been too little for you
[G1 Android Development] xxpada:
haha..

naww i wiped and flashd..

everytime i do it apps keep on installing to phone instead of sd-ext

after freshly flashd i have

44% in /data and 3% in /sd-ext

when i do put in terminal

su

df

whats upp with that the apps arent installing to /sd-ext..
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
After you flashed the rom and gapps one after another NOT separate

Did you do compcache and jitt off reboot then setup swap

and did you check allow applications moving and left the location alone?
[G1 Android Development] xxpada:
is swap required for apps2ext?

because i put 0 (zero) when i partitioned..

if thats the reason can you tell me a good amount of swap to put?

im not realli sure what it is..
[G1 Android Development] xxpada:
i read somewhere swap is no required
[G1 Android Development] xxpada:
i mean i think the basic problem is apps being installd are going to /data instead of /sd-ext..

but i wonder whats the cause.

and i did all those steps correctly.. hmmm.
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
When you partition the sd you HAVE to put 32mb on swap-linux, 512mb on fat32 or something then the remaining is for space

and when you go into the terminal setup up swapiness like in the opening post and put 30 swapiness at 32mb for swapfile

it'll make things faster
[G1 Android Development] xxpada:
but will it fix my problem?
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Well from what you told me, when you setup your sd partition you put swap as 0, so i'm guessing that it will
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Compcache and swap

Compcache is enabled by default, but if you want to try swap, disable compcache and reboot, then set up swap in terminal emulator. You don't need a swap partition on your sdcard, you can use a swap file instead on your ext partition.

$ su

# sh /system/etc/fr-patch141-BETA.txt swap

# reboot

If you find out you don't like swap as much as compcache again, then do

# /system/bin/swappy off
# reboot
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
your apps2ext is working fine. The dalvik-cache takes up a lot of internal storage, not your apps. The more apps you install, the more your data fills up for internal storage. If you run low on space just do this in terminal

$ su
# sh /system/etc/fr-patch141-BETA.txt dc2x

It will take some time, but wait for it to show the "#" sign again then type

# reboot

This will wipe your phone when you reboot, so you will need to sign in again, but all of your apps will be there still and you will have more storage.
[G1 Android Development] xxpada:
thanks for all the help ill try
[G1 Android Development] xxpada:
yeahh boi!!

su

sh /system/etc/fr-patch141-BETA.txt dc2x

reboot

and now im back @ 80MB free internal storage..

exactly how i want my system now yes!

maybe everyone should kno about this..

or is it that im juss the last to kno haha!

p.s. the boot process takes long about 5 min..

k thanks guys smooth sailing from here until next sparksmod update :)
[G1 Android Development] i1fang:
was thinking to flash this.

Guys, how do you rate the battery of this ROM, ? out of 5.
[G1 Android Development] xxpada:
what do you have right now? stock? cuz whatever you have sparksmod is gonn blow it out of the water.. seriously man my g1 makes my day everytime i pick it up.

"b all that you can b!" you kno that quote? well that applies to my g1 once i flashd it to sparksmod..

catch my drift?
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
Tried installing on Mytouch 1.2.....

Older sparks worked fine..

This one bootlooped till I went to recovery and repaired ext and fixed packages... whatever lol Then it got to the startup screen, but would never get a signal or when touching the android it did nothing but turn white but got no response. Not sure what happened.
[G1 Android Development] Trek55:
me got 121mb free internal..(with mtd)
[G1 Android Development] santelm:
wipe twice,then reflash,that should work...
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Well guys my g1 has came back to life on sparksmod, so I will be continuing development and releasing 1.4 very soon, as soon as I test out the ram on danger spl. This release may only be for the new spl and radio, but we will see

Edit: I believe my gmail account was reset or unblocked after I emailed them about the issue.
[G1 Android Development] Trek55:
Can't wait, thanks ..
[G1 Android Development] stlouie65:
SWEET! Even though I have a MT3G v1.2, I do enjoy installing your ROMS on my phone
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
That's awesome news bro. I was thinking about updating to new radio/spl when I get home. Prob going to use the g1 spl so I can keep fastboot erase system -w availability. Hopefully that wont cause issues. We'll see
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Awesome dude, What will change in 1.4?
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Hey blah,

What kernel are u using with the new radio/spl? I think I'm gonna make the jump and test it out.
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
Looks like sparks is going to cook us another rom! Its going to be an early christmas gift to us haha.

Also if you get time to mess around with the galaxy tab, go play with one! Its a pretty sick device!
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
I'm using the non biffmod one
[G1 Android Development] andy442:
Alright I'll give it a go and see what gives. Thanks Sparks!
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
Finally got it up and running. Really nice and smooth.

Now.. Can anyone tell me why, the last 4-5 roms I have flashed, My wifi will turn on, but it wont connect to anything?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Well to start you'll have tons of storage, when I first booted it up I had 88mb internal storage. On top of that this will not need to be spoofed with the new spl and radio, so no flashing of spoof needed at all. This only runs good on the new spl and radio, not danger spl. It will work on danger, but not as good. Check changelog tomorrow, I'm updating new wallpapers from Myjbarr and myself. New SparksMod wallpapers by Myjbarr and new seasonal ones by me :D Newer source code with this rom as well.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
I will have a lot of new info on the OP tomorrow when 1.4 is released on wiping instructions ect, and no, I didn't need to use super wipe, it's really pretty simple.
[G1 Android Development] ZeeRaxx:
I would like to use sparksRemix2 ROM. Currently I've installed CM6 with following radio: 2.22.23.02 and SPL 1.33.2005.

So, is it ok to upgrade to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831139

hboot-1.33.0013d.img and radio-2.22.27.08.img

then wipe install sparks and then use ezBiffTestKernel20101106-2708_S.zip ?
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
If your question is if that kernel will work, I'm sure it will; but I think sparksco recommends the ported cm-nightly kernels:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...nightlies/page__st__4000__p__87005#entry87005

ez-nightly236-cm-2708port_S.zip -- is the better tested one (and very close to the cm6.1-rc1 kernel)

ez-nightly251-cm-2708port_S.zip -- was just released last night and has the latest nightly enhancements.. Some fixes may help battery but it may also prove not so stable. Also some github comments between pershoot and cyanogen indicate there may need to be additional battery patches in the near future.

At the end of the day, its up to you to find what works best on your phone.
[G1 Android Development] ZeeRaxx:
Thank you ezterry for you fast reply.

Yes it was exactly what I was asking. I'm not sure whether my steps will work.

So first I'll DL http://www.mediafire.com/?1vh6itlcpdxdj (SparksMod-1.3-Remix2.zip, mediafire doesn't work at the moment :-\)

Then I'll DL http://rapidshare.com/files/429271074/dream_2708kit.zip switch to fastboot, install img of radio and SPL (because im unhappy with my current radio).

Then change my ext2->ext3 and install via AmonRA zip file containing SparksMod-1.3-Remix2.zip.

Now I'll go to recovery again and install ez-nightly236-cm-2708port_S.zip . Finished.

Will this work (current specifications are in my signature)?
[G1 Android Development] crisvillani:
so im guessing next release will not work for 32A magic 's ?:(
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Why not? Even if sparksco targets the new 2708 radio it's you just need the usual 32A kernel to boot it on a EBI1 device. (And 32A magics have much more ram than the 32B devices even with the 2708 radios)
[G1 Android Development] crisvillani:
My bad, i thought it wouldnt work if the rom was targeted at a diffrent radio :D

Thxs for the clarification!
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
From what sparksco told me, it'll be the BEST froyo out right now, better than 1.3remix2
[G1 Android Development] crisvillani:
I'm excited : D
[G1 Android Development] santelm:
not sure about this

my phone has reboot twice,i installed a couple of updates but it keeps on rebooting,still trying to figure out what's wrong?any ideas anybody?
[G1 Android Development] ZeeRaxx:
Okey I am stuck.

I applied in fastboot mode new radio and SPL (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831139)

Now I'am in recovery and inserted empty prepared SD card. I did following:

-update zip (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9068311&postcount=84)

-update zip(http://www.mediafire.com/?1vh6itlcpdxdj) and during installing process SparksMod-1.3-Remix2 gives following errors and aborts installation.

getprop("ro.bootloader")=="1.33.2011" || getprop(***.3011") then 0010, 0011, 0013, 2013 and 3013
E: error in /sdcard/SparksMod-1.3-Remix2.zip (status 7)
Installation aborted

When i try logcat it gives: exec: line 1: file not found
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Thanks Ezterry, I will try and keep updated on your latest kernel additions for this spl and radio.

Also guys NO SPOOFING needed. I added the new bootloader to the asserts, so you do not need to flash firerat's spl spoof in order to run this rom. You still need to flash the Ezterry kernel extractor. Please guys, remember that this rom runs good on this thanks to ezterry, not me! I did put the rom together yes, but without this ram hack and all it would not run nearly as good!

You guys should really be posting questions about the radio and spl here guys, all the instructions and questions can be seen and answered here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831139
[G1 Android Development] crisvillani:
downloading now!!:D
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
For the kernel extractor which version should I use?

the old one or the one based off 251?

EDIT:

NVM, just found it
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
It's in my downloads folder for 1.4
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Yes, wipe and reflash. I just updated the wiping instructions so please follow exactly!
[G1 Android Development] mzmo:
Just flashed this rom & its friggin' fast!

Big ups to the developer!

Just one problem, my top taskbar font colour is in black, which means i cant see the time or date. Any solutions? :s
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
download the cmtheme in downloads if it's still there

EDIT:

Just flashed, Now I'm going to wait for it to finish booting and tell you how it goes
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Yeah it's still there, but it's in the same folder as the 1.4 rom now.
[G1 Android Development] xillius200:
nice new update :D thought you were quitting xD imma try this ^^
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Well I was but my g1 decided to come back to life, so I figured I would make at least one more good one before I get my G2 :D
[G1 Android Development] mzmo:
Oh great, nice one. Didn't see it on the first post :D
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Seems to boot up faster than before by a little, how can I know how much storage I got?

is it # free??
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
you can do # df, this rom has a new phone and sdcard storage menu. Right now mine says total 91mb, and available is 79mb. I've installed about 65 apps so I have tons of room to go! I have a 500mb ext partition on my sdcard.
[G1 Android Development] mzmo:
How much internal storage? If you want to check how much internal storage you have, go Settings - SD Card & Phone Memory & scroll down to the bottom.

EDIT: Nevermind
