No problem at all, I'm not sure IF there's a specific order, but this is the order I do, data, cache, davick, battery, rotate, the sd, and then repair ext and then partition it all

Btw, don't use a flash OC universal kernal; You'll have to reflash again
[G1 Android Development] Spakainz:
Great and fast rom, but there is a problem with the camera. When I press trackball, camera only focuses image but not takes a picture. When I press camera shutter icon in touchscreen, first time camera focuses image and takes picture, but when I press touchscreen second and other times camera takes pictures without focusing...
[G1 Android Development] ivans13:
Everything works great now on 1.2-Stable, I had problems with the previous 1.2 and didn't see an update in the OP. Sorry. Really great rom btw.
[G1 Android Development] LOONEyRR:
wow, didnt know it was case sensitive. boom. thanks
[G1 Android Development] pReTTyUnG1:
is there gapps i can flash with 1.2? my first time on this rom so i dont really know...nice rom!
[G1 Android Development] LOONEyRR:
just follow the op. :D nope. no gapps. its on the rom
[G1 Android Development] pReTTyUnG1:
-Boot into recovery

-Wipe everything, flash the wipeable zip file and then wipe ext partition. I'm hoping that this new method will install the base platform needed for future none wipe updates.

-Flash SparksMod-1.2-Stable rom

-If you want to flash one of the themes do that next, otherwise skip this step

-Reboot

op? i did this but i dont see any google apps?
[G1 Android Development] LOONEyRR:
maybe u got a bad install. gapps should be in the rom.
[G1 Android Development] pReTTyUnG1:
Just my luck lol...thanks anyway!
[G1 Android Development] hpdroid:
its works perfect.

Still needs run for a few days to see its performance.

thanks for the rom
[G1 Android Development] pReTTyUnG1:
Another question sorry...am I flashing the 1.2 fix over the stable version? Or am I just flashing the stable version? Maybe this is where I'm messing up cause I flashed stable then I flashed fixed over it.
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
Just flash stable version, after you have wiped everything. As noted before, gapps is included in the rom.
[G1 Android Development] :
Just flashed your rom Sparks and the Blue theme and looking good so far, have only had it on my phone about 10 minutes so will wait to see how it is fully loaded before reporting back on it.

Just one minor tiny little thing on the theme is the waiting symbol is blue and when as in Titanium backup (excellent add by the way) the bar is blue too so it makes it almost impossible to see it.

Nice work so far fella :)
[G1 Android Development] cesarbric:
Obviously the 1.2 fix was the cause of my problems with wifi, now that i flash 1.2 stable, everything works fine, it looks like the 1.2 fix needed to be fix. Thanks Sparks, good work.

Even adb works fine.
[G1 Android Development] :
CM Settings - Performance is causing a force closure for me, anyone else?
[G1 Android Development] Spakainz:
Nope, I dont have problems with CM Settings.
[G1 Android Development] :
In that case its either bad flash or titanium restore being a tart, thanks.
[G1 Android Development] danetto:
Hi, First I thank you for your precious work.

I flashed the SparksMod 1.2 Rom, restored my apps and personal settings.

All work very well, quite fast. I’m very happy for thir rom.

Now I want to do a nandroid backup, but the “recovery mode” don’t start (G1 stop at the first image).

Can you help me to start in the “recovery mode”?

(the fastboot mode is ok)

When I flashed the rom I don’t do the instruction:

“su sh /system/etc/fr-patch140-Kanged.txt swap”.

I have a G1:

SD card: 2G (classe 2)

Recovery: Clockworkmod 2.5.0.1

Radio: 2.22.23.02

Root

Partizione: EXT 512M, swap 128

DangerSPL 1.33.2005

Thank you for your help, Jesus bless you.

Daniele (Italy).
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Are you saying you cant access recovery? I dont use clockworkmod. Try downloading amonra 1.7.0 and fastboot flash it. There are tutorials on fastboot flashing in amons thread. Why do you have a 128mb swap partition? Try that and see if you can access recovery and do a nandroid.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
My rom was working fine until I restored all of my apps with titanium backup, then I started getting a lot of force close/wait. I know it's not the rom because if I remove my sdcard and boot up everything works fine. I'm going to try the recovery utility option to back up and apps, then wipe my ext and restore with recovery. I will report back with my results.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Opps I forgot to remove the fixes download link, but I'm pretty sure I already disabled downloads for this last week, so the link shouldn't of worked unless you already downloaded it. Just flash rom and reboot
[G1 Android Development] ivans13:
After a couple of days this rom works really really great. It is stable and fast. But I have one problem: battery life, it is draining battery rather fast, in 1hour it sometimes drops by 20-30%.

I had a problem with exchange sync battery drain (cought that process using 50% cpu and draining 1% every few minutes). Disabling exchange sync fixed that problem but battery is still draining too fast.

Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
I'm wondering if you tried to use Rom Manager to flash your recovery??? That is about the only way that my recovery has ever been broken. Yes you can use fastboot to flash any recovery, however you can use terminal emulator as instructed on the OP. Fastboot is the preferred method because it doesn't rely on your phone's ram to flash. If you flash in terminal just make sure that you don't have a lot of apps running in the backround. Reboot your phone and once it's booted and all your apps and widgets load flash recovery.

Edit: The

su
sh /system/etc/fr-patch140-Kanged.txt swap

is done in terminal emulator app, not recovery after flashing.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Use Setcpu to Lower the max speed. The stock cm kernel is already overclocked at 576mhz, and stock speed for the g1 is 528mhz.

Also did you wipe battery stats before flashing the rom?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Yup yup I can't hardly see the waiting symbol either. This is a old cm5 theme. I will look for a suitable icon that will look good on the blue background.:)
[G1 Android Development] ivans13:
I'll try downclocking and finding the lowest value so that it still runs fast. I wiped battery stats after flashing, after the first time the battery died.
[G1 Android Development] Asswipe44:
i have same issue. just flashed again with full wipe including batt stats and set to 537/245. crossing my fingers because this is a killer rom otherwise
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
You can always turn on cm stats, since the cyan team made the kernel, not me. Perhaps they could use the data to fix it :rolleyes:

Edit: I just wiped my battery stats without wiping the rom, it worked fine
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
This worked pretty good for me but you need amon ra recovery:

Back up all apps with titanium backup

reboot recovery

select "go to console"

press enter

type "utility" and enter

back up apps from ext to fat32

return to recovery

wipe everything

power off phone and boot into recovery, or just press call, end, and menu buttons all at the same time and quickly press and hold the home button

flash rom and theme if you want one

select go to console again

restore apps from fat32 to ext

select "reboot me out of here!"

configure rom as normal how ever you want, swap ect and reboot

open titanium backup and see if any of your apps are missing, usally the ones on the bottom that say backed up but not installed

Restore missing apps, then go notice how you still have around 80mb of internal memory even with all of your apps there! Apps show up in market downloads as well. Your rom is now much faster! Cheers!
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
FIX BATTERY ISSUE 101! Here it goes :)

Solution 1: Play with your phone till it dies....turn on again...and play with it till it dies again. When the phone does not power at all, plug it in and let it charge for 8hrs+ till fully charged. Boot into recovery and wipe battery stats.

Solution 2: After Solution 1, download "Setcpu" if you already have not, and set to either 528 max or 537 max and either 245 min or 176 min. By default the Kernel is overclocking at 576 max without Setcpu, so turn it down.........down.....down..... :)

Solution 3: Download Auto Memory Manger or Minfree from the market and set the preset to either Mild or Aggressive. I have mine set to Aggressive and all works well! Very well matter of fact.

Solution 4: DISABLE WIFI AND GPS, today I had "un-normal" battery drain, that's because I left my GPS on all day! Stupid me!

Last but not least buy a crap ton of extra batteries and carry them with you at all times! Just kidding.... Solution 1-4 should help out tremendously! Hope this helps. Good day
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
After flashing this rom...

It's been 3 days since I've flashed this rom

Got to give Sparksco a big hand, Most stable as well as fast for my MT3G 32B

At first it kind of lagged a little and had to reboot every now and then

Today I changed some settings and no more lag, no force quits

This is what I have:

Compcache: OFF; I couldn't tell if it was better with it on or not

Jit: ON

Surface dithering: OFF

Lock home in Memory: OFF

Lock messaging app: OFF

VM heap size: 12m; 16m seemed to make it lag more

Setcpu:

Max: 576/Min: 176
[G1 Android Development] lolmensch:
hm i dont think its because of the cm kernel. other fryo roms use much less battery. but there is no other thing which i could think of either...

very strange.. it also sucked my right calibrated battery which was full, empty in 4 hours.

(gps and network disabled/no wifi/no mobile internet/display brightness on minimum/not that much apps)
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Great info! Also read the Chromatic's page, he has a bunch of useful info of settings. Make sure when you sign into your google account, don't allow location because it will use your gps all the time. Also don't allow back up data. I have 32mb of swap and 60 swampiness and it works quite well.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
This is what my current settings are.

Compcache disabled, swap enabled

Jit on

Surface dithering off

Lock messaging app in memory on

Lock home in memory on

vm default

SetCpu 537mhz max 245 mhz min
[G1 Android Development] Asswipe44:
yeah it only lasted 4:30 hours full charge after battery stats wipe.. got 576-245 setcpu and also have 64mb swap partition 60 swappiness. do you recommend swap file instead? or any other setting to improve battery life.. otherwise this rom is smooth as s##%!
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
"I'm overclocking my cpu but I don't know why my battery is draining", no s!@# Sherlock!!!
[G1 Android Development] Asswipe44:
harhar besides that, any other settings?!!!!11!!
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Since you got 32mb for swap, is that only for the G1 or is it for both the G1 and MT3G 32B?
[G1 Android Development] danetto:
Thank you very much Sparksco,

I applied your instructions:

su

sh /system/etc/fr-patch140-Kanged.txt swap

(with 60 swappines, 64mb file swap)

and:

$ su

# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-dream.img

# reboot recovery

Now I can reboot in recovery mode and perform the nandroid backup.

Thank you very much.

If I read your instructions before, I didn't have the problem, sorry and thank you for your work.

Jesus bless you,

Daniele (Italy).
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Well I charged up my battery last night before bed. I didn't charge it for about 12 hours and I still have 73% battery, so to me that's pretty good.

Edit: Also I have my alarm on
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
Movie time!!!!!

Kinda of a weak video of mine, but what the heck haha. Here ya go!

SparksMod 1.2 Stable!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDdpKQpYolA
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
Here are some screen shots
[G1 Android Development] stlouie65:
What Theme is that? Looks nice
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
It looks like the blue and white theme in the downloads for this rom

http://www.mediafire.com/?1vh6itlcpdxdj

*for the battery solution, why not keep the brightness down and make sure the screen timeout is at the lowest, and of course don't keep the gps/wifi on all day you'll just have a dead phone sooner
[G1 Android Development] stlouie65:
thanks, I'll give that Theme a try
[G1 Android Development] crisvillani:
Hey where did u get that sick lockscreen from, is it included in the Rom or is it a mod?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
It's a mod, I'm going to see if it's possible to add it to the rom
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
Lockscreen and some other goodies I am using!

LockBot Pro is the app I am using to replace the standard one that comes with this rom.

Applanet is where I got it from. So do a google search for "Applanet apk" and install it to your phone! Good stuff :)

System Info Widget is a great widget to see how much battery you have left, memory, temp. ect......

Go check these out and if you need help just let me know! :)
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
That is a good battery solution as well. I just didn't add that solution cause that's kind of a no brainer. But yes, lower brightness and screen time out at the lowest time.

Edit: Also make sure you enable your "end" button to "go to sleep". That can be done in CM settings I believe.
[G1 Android Development] Asswipe44:
hey sparks i tried 528/122 with everything disabled and had 6 hours batt life just sitting there. then i set frequencies at 576/545. battery is dying faster than usual... what can i do?!?!?!?!

seriously, you got any other advice?;)

The best benchmark would obviously be how much batt life ur getting.
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
One question.... Do you have " allow application moving" checked? if so.... automatic, internal, or external?
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Wow. Have you checked your running services to see what is running in the background? I have a mt3g and my battery life is fine. swap set up with swap file from text with values from op. CC off-jit on-lock home in memory on-lock mess off-surface dithering off-standard vm heap-window animations fast-unchecked everything in setup-setcpu at 537/245-profiles set at 480/245. Running fast smooth and no problems what so ever.
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
I have mine set to automatic, the thing that I noticed was that some apps and widgets would just not work right after rebooting, like facebook i put it straight to the sd card instead of the phone and it happened; just put it to automatic

Yeah it is a no brainer, sometimes people want that extra brightness you know? Mines only at half way, so I can see it but not too much
[G1 Android Development] crisvillani:
Hey Sparks,

Just wanted to say great rom ! im running it om my htc magic 32A with ezterry's port and it runs amazing, also love the theme!

Anyways i was just wondering is this rom based off the latest nightly rom?:D

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
Just wanted to say after a week of using this rom.....

AWESOME FROYO ROM! I am just blowing away on the performace and stabilty of this rom. Everytime I flash a froyo rom, there has been instability and bugs. I swear this one is flaweless!! But then again, I know nothing in the "rom world" is flawless haha, but this comes very close. Don't even know if I need an update if there was one available for this rom, totally happy with what I have.

Thanks again Sparks!
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Donut speed froyo rom is uploading now. No wipe of course, but may require a ext wipe or a fix_permissions. All data will still be there. Oh course in the name of Christ.

Edit: Seems I was a little drunk for my friends bday last night and didn't remember how to spell donut lol
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Do u mean there's a new version of this rom already? Or is it the speed froyo?
[G1 Android Development] LOONEyRR:
woot. i cant to check that out!

on another note. i got my class 10 card in! pretty badass. i notice a little difference in performance. but the boot image loads up in like 5 secs then phones runnin. ha. keep it up sparks.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Edit: Seems I was a little drunk for my friends bday last night and didn't remember how to spell donut lol
[G1 Android Development] mt3g:
so does this have the froyo OTA in it?
[G1 Android Development] Asswipe44:
Thanks for the info. All my settings were exact same as yours except for the screen off profile which was actually lower.. I just shut off lock messaging app. I have the NoSignal app running in background as well as SetCPU profiles and the news & weather genie service. The only google components running are messaging and default keyboard. The only major difference I see is that ur using a swap file whereas i have it set up as sd partition. Do you know if it makes a difference between one or the other?
[G1 Android Development] kherio:
language

I cannot understand why the 3er spoken language in the world is not included.... :(

You can find the Vietnamese and tagalog, but not spanish..... it's nonsense.

Anyway i'll wait for the spanish included version.

thx
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
I agree, I will check the changelog in the newest nightly for language changes
[G1 Android Development] kherio:
language

Thx a lot ;)
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
grr, well the changelog is not very helpfull, it doesn't seem like it's updated really very often. I don't see the Spanish option under languages. However new version is up, hope that puts a smile on your face.
[G1 Android Development] etu_aty:
Quick question sparks.... about the chomer script, is swap running by default when you boot or is it just the apps2ext??:confused:
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
no swap is not enabled by default, that is why it's a kanged version of his script. The reason I removed it is because compcache is enabled by default now with the new nightlies. I didn't want everyone's phones trying to run swap and compcache at the same time.
[G1 Android Development] etu_aty:
OK! nice :) downloading then... I didnt want that either, that's why I asked.

awesome work :D
[G1 Android Development] xftox:
What do I think is better comp or swap
[G1 Android Development] will4958:
I've tried downloading this rom several times, but it keeps asking for a user name and password after about 22 megabytes and won't let me go beyond that point. Has anyone else had this problem? I have the most recent rom before this and like it, and would like to try the newest version.
[G1 Android Development] nyctrini3:
Thought I was day only one with the link problem it took forever to download but I can't install it it said installation aborted
[G1 Android Development] D0NNY.:
I downloaded and installed this rom 6 hours ago, I didn't have any problems.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Compcache

HTC dream Sparksmod
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
I reposted a new link, I will update it once a day. As far as the installation aborted I'm not really sure, I just downloaded and installed it fine from the link. Ill post a mirror as well.

HTC dream Sparksmod
[G1 Android Development] nyctrini3:
thanks

thanks for the mirror ill give it a shot again but v0.33 it super fast for me lol but im addicted to the nightlies lol.. thanks for the hard work by the way!!!!
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
I think this one is faster, the only thing slowing it down is the new launcher, but thats easy to fix.

HTC dream Sparksmod
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
The spanish language is listed as espanol by the way
[G1 Android Development] Brusington:
No wireless tethering on this one?
[G1 Android Development] AustinAce:
Wow the theme is gorgeous.

I wish I could only get the theme portion of it. :/
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
I can add it back, I think I'm going to try and add maps back as well, and cache cleaner.
[G1 Android Development] trock62:
Will give it a try, Playing with a G1 for old time sake

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Not that kind of difference with the battery. CPU might work different a Tad between the two. I also have the genie widget uninstalled. That seems to drain battery.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:


I want to hear more about 1.2.1, I think we've discussed the battery quite enough
[G1 Android Development] Asswipe44:
well i setup swap with swapfile and then flashed 1.2.1 with no wipe as stated. apparently everything got wiped... i followed instructions exactly so wtf? Also lost the boot animation. very interesting turn of events. will try disabling that widget once everything is running again.
[G1 Android Development] crisvillani:
1.2.1 .... Amazing!

speed is phenomenal, performance is great the look is much better with the themed battery and all...

very good sparks....Will continue to test :D

thanks
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Maybe because your name is asswipe? The rom only wipes the cache, which has nothing to do with the rom or the boot animation. Ask stupid questions and get stupid answers :p
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
Drum roll please........

Flashed 1.2.1 Turbo and right now I am at the boot animation......its getting tense........... Ok, it booted up great, but it went back to the original theme??? So I guess I must re-flash the blue theme again over this update, I take it? No biggy, just thought i might of saved it. Well I will report more later :)
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
Just found out from Sparks, that the themes aren't compatible with the "Turbo"...just to let you all know. The turbo has a different framework, therefore themes are incompatible. Even without the themes, this rom looks GREAT!!!!
[G1 Android Development] D_skaz_thing:
im agreeing with mjybarr...

the themes arent compatible... i've been trying to installed the themes inside the turbo for almost 7 hours... :)

its a great ROM sparks thanks...

ima buy u a beer :D
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Yup, that's why there are no themes to download in the downloads section ;)
[G1 Android Development] anghellic:
swap setup.

I type in the commands to setup swap just as listed in the directions and come up with an error

"sh: Can't open /system/etc/fr-patch140-kanged.txt"

What have I done wrong?

The file is in the right place and everything

Does this have to do with an sd ext partition?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Capital K, k
[G1 Android Development] D_skaz_thing:
I love this rom sparks.... a zillion thx...

Appreciated.....
[G1 Android Development] Elegy:
for some reason my launcherpro doesnt take your backup. how exactly do i have to do this? put your backup on the SD root, and choose "restore backup" ?
[G1 Android Development] Admiral2145:
mirror

does someone have a mirror for the sparksmod 1.2? the link isnt working 4 me.... i got the 1.2.1 but, cant get the 1.2 part
[G1 Android Development] crizznaig:
Awesome Rom guys loving it so far....

I was wondering if anyone has gotten any random reboots, i got one today while sending a sms and then switching to browser, and then switching back to sms, then poof reboot, I as on the train... and tried to replicate the issue, but was unable to, curious to see if anyone else has gotten them.
[G1 Android Development] geokuttan:
is it using the ASOP?? cuz its not as fast as the ASOP...:(
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Did you extract the zip to your sdcard?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
No its not, and its not going to be. Great go use that then. While your at it why don't you make some themes for it and get the bluetooth and everything working too!
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
I just confirmed, that the link does work. So there is no need for a mirror right now.

Here it is:

http://www.mediafire.com/?bm2aetm3q6sgxgr
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
I have experienced one single random reboot, and that was when I first flash 1.2 stable and that was it. Im pretty sure everyone that has flashed the 1.2 stable has had one random reboot.

As far as "Turbo" version, no I have not had a random reboot yet.
[G1 Android Development] mt3g:
BOOOOOO!!!!
