[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
wow you have more space left than I do, so you are definately using a larger ext partition than I am. I only have a 500mb ext partition, and I'm using 25% of that with 65 apps which is 125mb worth of apps. I already moved my data/data to ext and now I have 33mb left for internal, but that's not accurrate because if I install one app, it only goes down less than 1mb, so don't worry about running out of room. This is the new stable way of apps to ext

Did you have less internal before you moved /data/data?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
No worries buddy, enjoy your phone for now :D
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Since I'm lazy right now and tired, I'm just going to upload by sections
[G1 Android Development] dixon93:
Hi, same as you i'm using 512mb ext partition as well

wait a minute. how to move data/data to ext? did i juz done it via the script? kinda confused ..

anyway i taught it's pretty late on your side? it's 1pm here.. :p
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
It's on the first page, the first code box, so yeah. If you have issues after that with apps force closing, clear the data for the app in manage applications. If you still have issues then run fix_permissions in terminal or adb shell

Edit: After fix_permissions reboot
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
When I enable app moving in cm settings, i just leave it at automatic...right?
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Yes that's it haha

@sparksco: for me compache on, swap at 32mb, swapiness at 30 works best haha

and the biffmod 2.1 part is up already, i'll upload the sparksmod one either today or tomorrow i'm not sure
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Yeah auto is good
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
Just making sure, I seen someone say they set it on internal. So I was just wondering.
[G1 Android Development] dixon93:
no.. sparksco mention you had to select internal..

correct me if i'm wrong..

edit..

i taught sparksco mentioned had to put internal? oh crap..i selected internal now..

any ideas should i change?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
It doesn't really matter, busybox still installs apps2ext on internal, just make sure you have moving allowed checked for the apk manager
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
I just realized that this rom will only work on ext4 partitions, I will update on the OP.
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
the default swapiness you put on the rom is 30 right?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
I like 30 swampiness, 40 seemed to lag too much on my sdcard.
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
THIS ROM BOOTS UP SO FAST!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!! Very Impressed!
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Yes it does, for a COMPLETE boot where all widgets and everything are stable, it took like 2 mins only; The videos will be up ASAP no later than midnight

Sorry it took a while
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Also repair your sdext after wiping everything.
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
whoops? did i have to? cause i didn't and it's godly already XD haha

3.6 on linpack on 537mhz
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
No it's not really necessary unless people run into issues, it's just a precaution.
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Oh okay haha :D, we'll i'm not running into ANY problems at all

I can't wait till this coming week when you release the new kernels

Here are the videos:

Biffmod 2.1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS25AUB6nTA

-don't really need to hear me talk haha, volume is too low on the video so speakers have to be set high haha

Sparksmod 1.3 Stable: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-eKSC82Hfw [still processing, it'll be ready soon enough probably]
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Looks good so did you sign into your account before or after you restored your apps? I had to reflash because my market wouldn't load, but now it fine again.
[G1 Android Development] dixon93:
just to report i sign in google before restoring apps, it's running fine..

had to use swap 30 for the best result.

able to get 3.724 on linpack in 22.51 sec.. in my G1.

just wondering can you optimize the battery? seems that it drains pretty fast even on standby mode.. few hours 10% is gone

EDIT: just found out a little problem..

my hp will reboot when my appointment/meetings alerts.. does this consider a bug? or just my problem..
[G1 Android Development] :
Well for me this new way to do apps2ext just isnt working, I have by the looks of it to many apps for it to work properly for me as I run out of internal memory.

Is there another way to get more on? I have tried moving the data/data & dc2x using the script but still no go :(
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
So your talking about your calendar? Sounds like you had a bad flash. Try a fastboot wipe this time, wipe ext, repair ext, then flash rom and app-on's.

Edit:

fastboot erase system-w
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Hm, honestly is just sounds like a bad flash

Just to let all of you know, I had better luck when I did a fastboot wipe before flashing this rom. Then wiped ext in recovery, then flashed rom and add-on's.

Edit: Also don't have your usb plugged in when you flash or boot up because it seems that this is messing up some devices, causing a bad first boot of loading all the apps. Also seems that it's messing up the apps to ext some how. If I flash and boot up with my usb plugged in my apps on my ext partition do not install, but if I leave it unplugged then everything boots up just fine. Apparently it's some kind of new bug with the newer kernels.
[G1 Android Development] LOONEyRR:
really? im on ext3 what issues were people havin?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
apps2ext is not working on some devices, most likely because this rom flashes straight to the ext partition unlike previous versions. I believe this issue is caused by mounting the sdcard in recovery before flashing to put rom and add-on's on sdcard, and having the usb plugged in before rebooting into recovery. This can be fixed by doing a quick reboot into recovery with the usb unplugged, so that the sdcard can be mounted on flash. So you are not having any issues?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Do not move /data/data or dalvik-cache on 1.3-Stable!

Ok so mjybarr and myself have noticed that you should not move your /data/data to ext after restoring your apps via Firerat's patch with 1.3-Stable. The reason being is that it will basicly wipe your phone, so that when you reboot you must go through the setup wizard and all of that. Performance may decrease after doing this. Moving dalvik-cache with the script is also not advised, because it's known to cause virtual memory problems, which is why this version is much more stable and faster then previous versions.

Do not be concerned with your internal storage, because it will always read less then what you actually have. You should never receive a low storage warning, but if you do, I'm sure you will not notice any lag in performance, but maybe a little.
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Ok. So when I get home tonight what do I do?

Fastboot wipe-wipe/repair ext-unplug usb-flash 1.3stable-flash addons-reboot-bypass sign in. Need to enable app moving? Swap or CC? Then restore apps.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Yes, repairing ext is probably not necessary, but fastboot wipe is the best option. Restore your appps before you sign in. Right now CC is working pretty well for me at 18%, but it does lag a little on the home screen scrolling, but it's still really fast! I might try 26% or swap. In my opinion they both work well. I think it's just a find out what works best on your device type of thing at this point. Just make sure you don't mount your sdcard in recovery or the add-on's will fail to mount and flash the add-on's. You can mount in recovery but you'll need to reboot to recovery before flashing.

Edit: Also don't enable "jit", my phone is running good without it.
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
New wallpaper!!! More to come!

So what do you think???
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
That looks sweet!!!
[G1 Android Development] nickislauw:
sparksco can you please get the standard animations back? these new ones are making it slower.

btw rom is nice:)
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
What do you mean by standard animations? The theme?

Edit: The theme is only a small portion of the rom, less than 1mb lol. Also I optimized most of the framework images already, so there is really no way it could be slowing it down.
[G1 Android Development] nickislauw:
no the window animations.

can i revert back to the normal ones? i dont like the new ones..
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
Glad you like it! It is simple, but it was again a practice piece.

I will work on more custom wallpapers soon!
[G1 Android Development] LOONEyRR:
wtfff. no way! u got me sold! my average is 2.4. lol. gonna try it out riight now! thanks bro!
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
Just flashed this rom and its SICK!!!!! Linpack for me is too around 3.8. Using the 614 OC Kernel verion.

Setcpu Setting:

Main: 576 max and 245 min (seems to be running fine and battery a little more retained haha)

Screen off: 528 max 245 min

Charging/Full: 528 max 245 min

JIT Enabled

Compcache Enabled

VM Heap Size 24

Dithering off

I will make a video for this ROM soon :)

Note: Only problem I have had is that when I went to reboot, and loads up it goes back to default settings(wallpaper, widgets don't load, and some apps don't appear.) So far this has only happened once. Its like apps are getting transferred, during "Preparing SD Card".

Other than that, this is an AWESOME Froyo Rom for an almost 2 year old G1. LOL! How far are we going to go before our phones start on fire!???? LOL!

Good work Sparks!!
[G1 Android Development] LOONEyRR:
really how are u guys gettin ganster mflops? lol. i got 3.1 as the highest. lol. i mean, it's still quick and smooth, but i wanna be on ur level. lol. btw, is anyone else havin issues with swype with this rom? im tryin to get it to work but for some reason, no matter what i do, i just cant seem to get it on. ehh.. oh well i guess.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
I haven't tried swype yet, but I'm guessing its a issue with the nightly. Did you wipe before flashing?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Great! Can't wait to see the video. After rebooting it takes a while to load the apps and widgets just like any rom, wait until preparing sdcard goes away before you do anything, then all the apps and widgets should load up just fine.
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
I waited for a few seconds but, my inpatients got got the best of me haha. I rebooted again, and all went well! I also diabled my "profile" in SetCpu(they were causing some lagging probs...) Now I have SetCpu at 595 max and 480 min. She's moving now! Here is a pic from Linpack.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Linpack is useless. If you want a benchmark of your phone then stick to the built in benchmarch feature of SetCPU found on the INFO tab.

Really, linpack is meaningless.
[G1 Android Development] LOONEyRR:
naw, so i ended up lookin through the logcat, and it was cause of lack of memory. nothin alittle swappiness couldnt fix. d^_^b

really? well it still gives peace of mind knowin what it's tellin us. lol how do you figure its meaningless tho?

wtf. no way. right on! ha
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
How do you know it's meaningless? I mean there are a lot of people using this meaningless app? I highly doubt it. What makes SetCpu benchmark soo much better? Maybe you should explain your reasoning before just blurting something out and expect everyone to just say "ok, I believe you"
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
It's a synthetic benchmark not ever meant too show real world performance of your phone. Linpack has been around for a long time and it was used to benchmark CPU's, not measure the speed of an Android operating system on a mobile phone.

But go ahead and compare scores. It's like comparing apples and oranges when your comparing Rom to Rom and Build to Build. :rolleyes:

If you want to prove it to yourself that linpack is in fact useless, then flash a 1.6 rom and benchmark, flash a 2.1 rom and bench mark and flash a 2.2 rom and bench mark. Yeah anyway, you'll see the huge difference in scores.

Now go do that with set cpu and tell me your results...hmm funny how Donut comes out to be the fastest when you use a real world benchmark meant to run on your phone. (SetCPU). :p

Sparksco (The Cook)

Oh and swap does not affect your battery that much. The microsd slot uses less power than pressing a key on your G1. Compcache on the other hand is constantly using spare CPU cycles. The cpu uses a significant amount of power and therefore running compcache makes your battery drain quicker than if you had it disabled.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Ok, link to source of info? I mean everything you say sounds like stuff your blowin out your ***. If you have your source of info please share. I'll try swap again, what do you recommend for the swappiness and swap size. My swap partition is only 32mb? The only thing I hate about swap is you have to have the swap partition just the right size and the swappiness the right size as well. Also not everyone has a class 6 micro sdcard that will run as good as yours man. Why don't you just face it that swap doesn't work for everyone, and like you said "If you want to prove it to yourself that linpack is in fact useless, then flash a 1.6 rom and benchmark, flash a 2.1 rom and bench mark and flash a 2.2 rom and bench mark. Yeah anyway, you'll see the huge difference in scores." You just said to flash a bunch of differn't roms and use linpack to see the huge differences, so obviously not useless there are huge differences. I mean I never said that this rom was faster than donut, so I have no idea where that all came from. BTW I'm not going to waste my time doing that, flashing all those roms to prove that I'm right. Some people say Linpack works and SetCpu does not, so maybe they both don't work, or maybe they both do work. As I said, please provide a valid source for your info.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Experiment with it and find what is best. Use firerat's all in one patch to run swap. That way you can have it create a swap file (rather than use your swap partition) and then you can set the SIZE and the SWAPPINESS.

I recommend 24mb or 32mb swap along with 20 swappiness.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Ok I'll give it a shot, if it works better I will update the OP. Two things, swapper2 app from the market does the same thing, it create's a swap file in your ext partition just like the FR script. So I guess I would be better off using swapper2 app than FR's script? Of course I would need to disable compcache first. As a matter of fact I think I'm going to add that to the rom, I mean that would make it so much easier than typing terminal commands, more user friendly, and it's a free app. Second, if the swap file is created on your sdcard, then when you mount your sdcard the swap goes away, until you reboot. With Swapper2, you just go to the app and press the on button and wait for it to finish.

Video for SparksMod 1.1.1

Check it out!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzaMNPCEVPg
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
Anyone possibly tell me why Im still unable to clock past 576mhz? I know what im doing and how to do it, but Set cpu still only shows a max of 576mhz
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
Did you wipe your phone? What SetCpu version are you using? Are you using the 614 OC version?
[G1 Android Development] LOONEyRR:
Ohwell. Benchmark will still be on my phone. Lol. Anyways. Cool rom bro. Ha
[G1 Android Development] ATZ-007:
Current I’m running 1.1.1 which is running fine. I am also using LauncherPro plus and enabled SWAP using Firerat’s script 1.4.0 but having problem with Chrome2Phone however I don’t use it as much. So my question is

1.	Is there any reason why I should update it to 1.1.2?

2.	Is 1.1.2 a No Wipe update?

Thanks,
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
No you still need to wipe. I wiped only the rom and not my ext partition before flashing this. All of my apps were still there but I was getting FC's on certain apps. Maybe you could just do fix permissions or try not wiping the rom at all and flash, your choice.

Compcache is working fine for me. I'm not dissin FR's patch but swapper2 has more features and options.

To answer your question about whether or not it is worth it I would say yes, this is built of the nightly 091220010. My chrome to phone works fine, but I did notice a lag in it when I sent a link to my phone. Could be because I have a poor data connection on my phone at home, not really sure. Read the OP
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Why would you recommend swapper2 (An app that has to eat your memory) over firerat's script? Obviously the script has less of a memory footprint than an app that has to be installed and run in the back ground.

And using a swap partition does not mean you lose swap when you plug your usb cable in and mount your sdcard. It only mounts the fat32 partition.

Ta ta for now.
[G1 Android Development] nickislauw:
the window animation is too heavy man.

EDIT: OOPS LOL I FLASHED COMMUNITY HERO MIX BUT THAT THEME HAS THE HEAVY ANIMATION. SORRY FOR THE CONVENIENCE

xD nice rom, but with test1 id get 369 with quadrant. now only 320, i used same settings. hows that be:P
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Only thing I can tell you is to look under display settings. Maybe you can disable animations all together if it affects the performance too much.
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
@ sparks,

Thanks for the reply. I will test a few things over the weekend and let u know.

@ mj,

nice wallpaper bro. Would like to have it. :)
[G1 Android Development] nickislauw:
WOW wifi range is veeeerry nice :)

i got verry good connection man.

really greatest rom out there :)

why update more?

its working alrady as the best.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Yes I love this new rom to. I don't think it will get much better than this, that's why I won't be releasing any full rom updates for quite some time. I will however have new themes, wallpapers, and kernel updates for the next couple of weekes, so check the goodies folder every once in awhile :)
[G1 Android Development] nickislauw:
nice man ;)

bigup!

ps: can i get ur gtalk ^^? or u dont want people to add you:P ? wich i fully can understand xD
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Just email me and I get it just as fast as a text with this rom: sparksco@gmail.com, of course
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
No just installed everything one by one haha :D
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
I found out what the problem was!!!

Ok so you have to have amon ra recovery to flash this rom. Instructions are as follows

-Put rom and sparksmod add-on's onto sdcard, unless it's just a reflash then just use the ones already on your sdcard.

-Reboot recovery and wipe just normal, not fastboot or anything

-Go to console:

press enter

# mount /sd-ext

# recovery

You should just get the "#" symbol if everthing goes right. If you get a error then select reboot system now, and press and hold the home button to get back into recovery. Then go to console again and it should work. If your sd-ext doesn't mount on flash then a lot of things will be missing.
[G1 Android Development] crisvillani:
hey sparks,

since im on the htc magic i have no option for console in recovery, any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Yes, do a fastboot wipe and then flash, should work fine. The update already tries to mount the sd-ext, but if it fails to do so, then nothing major will happen, other than you'll be missing the add-on's. You'll still have apps2ext working and gapps. And not to mention a really nice rom
[G1 Android Development] crisvillani:
wat exactly r in the add-ons , the boot-animation? bc i still have it ?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
No boot animation is in the rom. Add-On's are cmstats, DPS Manager, geneie widget, ect. Maps doesn't come with it.

One more important thing is to repair ext after wiping ext
[G1 Android Development] crisvillani:
ok thats why i was getting force closes on cmstats option on cmsettings, no biggie dont use any of those things anyways , any ways great rom sparks :D
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Yes, I believe this rom has a lot of the new 2.2 OTA, and that's why it's so stable.
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
So sparksco, when will the next update be up?

I just can't wait for it

EDIT:

I'm experiencing some problems, I think I WILL repair the sd ext
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
What kind of problems? Well I just found out a easy way to make sure you get the add-on's. If you boot up and you are missing the add-on's do this. Mytouch users have to use clockworkmod recovery in order to be able to mount everything to make sure that you have a clean wipe and flash. I just noticed that the last time I wiped my ext and everything, I can usally mount my ext to my linux computer, and it will show that nothing is one there...But this last time there was apps still on there, so apparently it did not wipe like it should have. I have updated instructions for mytouch users on the OP, since the mytouch does not have a keyboard. Because of this reason, Clockworkmod recovery works much better on a mytouch. OP has instructions on switching back and forth from recoveries. Believe me, if you do it exactly like on the OP, you will have a clean wipe and flash.

Also don't move data/data or dalvik-cache to ext or you will have problems.

Edit: These are my current settings that work really well for me. Compcache is at 18%, swap just wasn't working well for me. "JIT" off, suface dithering off, lock home in memory on, lock messaging app off, vm heap size default.
[G1 Android Development] :
Deleted to be removed.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Ok first off you don't need to add firerat's patch for download, since it is already included in the rom. I guess if you read the OP you would know that, since all the instructions are on there! Also the newest video shows us telling people how to run it, as well as text commands on the OP! Ok so 1...moving /data/data will wipe your phone completely with this rom, it's been confirmed by two people, one of them being me. 2...no need for sdext as it is already installed. 7...causes VM issues, making the phone lag, and only needed if you use ASH, which I do not! 10...Also causes VM issues, making phone lag more. If anything the only one that you did not mention is 11.../data/(data,system) bind mount...Which by the way is already applied on boot...Funny how it says your a Biffmod Dev, fyi.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Ok, well I'm glad it worked for you, it just doesn't work the same for me as it does for you I guess. All I was saying is that it probably won't work for most people. Plus I'm not trying to restore 165 apps. Don't have a stick in my arse, and it seems that your intentions are not to help people in this thread, but to be disruptive. IDK maybe I could be wrong. I made it pretty clear that all you have to do to use the old way with this rom is to flash the cm6-apps2ext.zip found in my Goodies folder, and it would of moved dalvik-cache for you, and you would of been a lot better off. Maybe you didn't read back far enough in the thread IDK. Thanks for the congrats, as I already congrats Biffmod on their thread. Not > :confused:
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Well u answered all my questions. I tried several times to get it rolling with add-ons on this my touch. Guess I will use the clockwork toggle method in op and try it all again when I get home tomorrow. Thanks sparks. I was getting confused a little last night. :)
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
lol, believe me you were not the only one that was getting confused. I couldn't figure out why sometimes the wipe and flash worked ok, and somtimes it wouldn't even let me sign in at Setup Wizard. I was like wtf, lol. Make sure you check the OP again because I am still refining this method.
