HELP!!!

Hey Everyone,

Flashed the rom last night and having issue.

I have a HTC Dream.

8gb class 6 sd card. 32mb swap, 512mb ext, rest fat32

Wiped all, repair ext then flashed 1.2.2

Booted up, restored my apps and setup settings.

First problem: Apps2ext is not working. Tried restarting in case something happened on boot.

Thought i would try upgrading to 1.2.3, so i flashed over 1.2.3 and then stuck on boot screen (the one that comes on first not the android one) left it there for 15mins and it go no where so pulled the battery out and wiped and started again with 1.2.2

Tried installing apps again, same as above

Also wiped and reflashed again, ticked "allow application moving" first just in case. Installed an app from the market - installed to the phone NOT ext

Installed from titanium backup - installed to phone Not ext.

Discovered the patch above "CM6-Apps2ext.zip"

Ran that from recovery and the apps moved to ext and i actually had space again!

Reboot the phone, ALL of my installed apps disappear from the launcher.

They appear in applications in settings, but not in the launcher.

Reboot - same thing.

Reboot and run the cm6 apps2ext patch and they come back.

Reboot again and they are gone.

This is very frustrating! i dont know what has gone wrong :S Other than that the rom seems to be quick! so good work.

I just hope you can help me sort this out :D
[G1 Android Development] Shadoxity:
im going to try reformatting my sd card.

Tried biffs rom, but seems slugish in comparison
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Biffmod might not be so sluggish if you flash the Launcherpro.zip from the goodies folder. I just tried three different launchers, and Launcherpro is still the best one.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Make sure to clean up any junk on your sdcard. Also remove the ANDROID folder, as well as the LOST on your sdcard before flashing.
[G1 Android Development] Shadoxity:
That could be the issue.

For experimentation sake i will try removing those folders and see if it makes a difference before formatting.

Thanks for the reply

WiFi

Love the smoothness of the 1.2.3 Rom. Best one I have used. Only issues is that when I go to the Wireless and Network Settings, the WiFi has an error on it and will not start. What can be done to resolve this??
[G1 Android Development] Shadoxity:
UPDATE

Hey Sparksco!!!

Just an update for you and maybe something you want to put on the first page!!!

I have worked out what the problem is, well what i believe to be the problem.

Before deleting the folders on the SD i tried it one more time.

Successful this time!!!!

Now the only thing that i can bring it down to is that before i had the custom MTD partitions, this time i had removed them (reinstalled amon ra as per instructions for biffmod one)

So after putting the partitions back to normal it seems to be all good!

one thing i did not notice previously was that i was missing Maps after i installed the rom. This time with normal partitions it has installed maps!

Another thing was that it did not restore my wallpaper.

So please put this on the first page

MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT HAVE MTD PARTITIONS

Hope this helps someone out with a similar problem.

Going to try installing 1.2.3 now.

:D
[G1 Android Development] LOONEyRR:
dude you're havin issues too. were u gettin the stock bootanimation too?? the only way i was able to get sparks bootani.zip to show was to use fr's mtd partitions. ha. but let us know how 1.2.3 goes, cause i still couldnt get that one to flash right even without the mtd partition. lol

Edit: ps. dont be a douche bag and use retarded ass font, and if you look on page 77, sparks already mentions reflashin recovery :D
[G1 Android Development] kwrose14:
I have no problems getting the 1.2.2 as 1.2.3 to flash using the custom mtd, if you do it correctly you will have no issues what so ever. My apps2sd works flawlessly. And if I recall my memory correctly, mapps was not part of the build because YOU CAN download it after the ROM is loaded and settled.
[G1 Android Development] Shadoxity:
Well im stumped then. :S weird

Oh actually, i think i may not have wiped system last time.

That could be it?
[G1 Android Development] Shadoxity:
Yea i was getting the stock boot screen too.

Didnt see the reflashing recovery part.

But about to try 1.2.3 so i will let you know how it goes.
[G1 Android Development] Shadoxity:
1.2.3 has loaded successfully and seems to be fine now. :)
[G1 Android Development] Shadoxity:
Sorry to be annoying, i have done a search, but i am wondering if i can get the messaging application to display like in eclair, where it has the contact at the top and also shows their facebook status update? i would rather that then just a picture with every message.

Thanks

New Rom and Theme

v1.3 should be out soon. ETA by the end of this weekend.

MTD:

I have not tested MTD with this rom. MTD also depends on your spl. Firerat said that for the 2003 (non-danger) spl, you need custom mtd partitions with system @ 90 and cache @ 2, rest is for data. I'm using the 2005 (danger spl)
[G1 Android Development] crodgers79:
Good job Sparksco!!

I've had a lot of issues with Froyo ROMs with regard to Apps2ext implementations (hasn't everyone?). The ROMs featuring the FR MTD patches seem to work but then I get into trouble when trying to wipe and load another ROM.. and I just gave up on that whole method.. the method used here works very, very well and the ROM itself is quite responsive too! I'm not a big fan of the theme so I'd like to find another compatible theme if anyone knows of one..

This ROM doesn't seem to be getting a lot of attention here on XDA so I thought I'd let the community know that this is a very good Froyo ROM and with over 45 apps loaded I have a whopping 79Mb free with virtually no effort on my part!

Good works Sparksco!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] puppetcarl:
this is a great rom. only problem i'm having is with battery life and phone freezing at times. nice job
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
I am going to have differn't versions soon, white, black, overclock kernel, not overclock kernel ect. The overclock version will be 614mhz max for default, and will be automatic after flashing the rom. This should help with the phone freezing, but probably not so much on battery life. However you can adjust the speed with setcpu app. I am thinking about adding a couple more of firerat's fixes from his script once I test them out more and see which ones are needed to help with performance.
[G1 Android Development] crodgers79:
Great! Looking forward to the new versions!

Sparksco,

That's great to hear! I'm sticking with your current version until your next release though!! One thing I have noticed is that when I load FancyWidget, to get the HTC-like clock, a lot of times the time is not synched with the phone clock, I imagine that this is because the app is fighting for CPU cycles with the other widgets that I'm running but I thought I'd mention it just the same. Also I've noticed that when you wake the phone and try to swipe screens the phone needs about 30-40 seconds to fully wake-up and react to the swiping motion, once it reacts properly there is no more lag, but always for that first swipe it looks like it's frozen and then after 30-40 seconds finally responds. I've experienced this on other Froyo ROMs as well FWIW.

Overall, super ROM!!! Thanks!

Chris R.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Yeah I noticed the lag as well when waking up, I think the overclock kernel helps some with that but it does seem to be a froyo issue. Also if you have a lot of widgets it slows things down and runs more processes in the backround, and uses more battery, but not as bad as using fat32. I installed about 85 apps and loaded about 7 widgets on my home screens and the battery did drain quite a bit.
[G1 Android Development] crodgers79:
Thanks for the reply!

Sparksco,

Thanks for the reply! Any idea as far as when you might have your next set of releases ready for distribution? No rush, just curious...

Thanks!!!

Chris R.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
I'm just about done, I've decided not to make a white version since I am currently working with Biffmod which offers the white theme already, to implement the script in his roms, as well as the chromatic roms. After all the script is using part of his original script, as well as firerat's.
[G1 Android Development] Brusington:
Sparksco, once again very good job. only one thing, well two, i cant snap any pics nor can i record any video. other than that, everything eles is great, no probs with battery life, lasts me a full day at work setting the setCPU profile to be at 245mhz when sleep. But yeah the pics and video are my main concerns. Is that already a known issue?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
No my camera and video work just fine. Are you on a mytouch or g1? Also what version did you install, I'm on the overclock one? Other than that I would just wipe and flash or download the rom again in case of file corruption. Do the md5's sums match?
[G1 Android Development] dmm0816:
solid solid rom man good work on this. I am having 1 small problem...does anyone else have problems with text notifications. Im using dgalert but sometimes the notification shows but most of the time i won't even know i have a text unless i look at the messaging app
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
No clue bud I don't use that app. Are you on the overclock version? If you are you could try the stock kernel version since this might be an issue with the oc kernel. If your just using the stock kernel version then I have no clue.
[G1 Android Development] dmm0816:
i think it might be the app, i switched the alerts to the messaging and turned dg off and they work now...i like this rom too much to abandon it lol i'll just abandon dg lol thanks bro!!!
[G1 Android Development] ATZ-007:
:):) Hi, I just flashed the over clock version and although it’s too early to say anything but so far its seems to be running fine. :) :)

I understand its “new firstboot.sh method for apps2ext partition” (“never have to reboot or use any terminal commands to move apps”) however I wish to keep/move few app to the internal memory (i.e. LauncherPro, Widgets, etc), so

how/what’s the best way to do this

? Shall I just use Firerat script v1.4.0?

Thanks in advance and many thanks for the ROM/hard work. Keep it up
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Well it combines your internal memory with your ext partition, thinking they are one. So there is no need to move your apps at all. This is firerat's v1.4.0, but only the apps to ext command, so it really wouldn't do you any good unless you want to move your apps to fat32 partition.
[G1 Android Development] ATZ-007:
WoW that's amazing . In that case I'll leave the apps as they are.

So do you guys recommend swap?

If so, do I just use Firerat's v1.4.0?

Also I'm having problem with Android Keyboard (on-screen keyboard), it keeps deciphering whilst I'm typing & I can't use the voice import on the keyboard at all coz the moment I press it, the keyboard deciphers.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
not sure what you mean about the keyboard, my voice search and voice2text works as good as expected, plus it's still in beta I believe. All of my "voice stuff" works with no fc's. I don't use swap but some people like to. Yeah make sure you disable compcache before you enable swap with FR patch. The newest patch's are always included in the rom's, so all you need to type in terminal is: su and enter, sh /system/etc/fr-patch140.txt swap and enter. To ever remove swap just: sh /system/etc/fr-patch140.txt rev swap
[G1 Android Development] LOONEyRR:
wow, from all the reviews, this rom sounds pretty badass! im runnin cm6stable, and it seems to be workin decently good right now. has anyone ran linpack or quadrant on this rom yet? im in debate mode right now but really thinkin about tryin it. :D
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
I'm on the OC version and my highest linpack is just over 4, but averages at around 3.8-3.7 MFLOPS. I also have a lot of apps and widgets so I'm not sure if that is slowing it down or not
[G1 Android Development] badboy68:
thanks sparks, this is by far the best froyo rom to date..
[G1 Android Development] dixon93:
Hi,

it seems that i did all stuff over again.

1. Reflash recovery, reflash radio(latest), reflash SPL (latest)

2. Repartition my 4gb card.

4. Applied fullwipe zip, wipe all..

5. Flashed 1.2.2.

6. booted up, disable compcache, "lock home in memory", enable "JIT", disable "lock messaging in memory"

7. restart

8. apply swap, with 60

9. restart again

10. boot to recovery, apply 1.2.3

11. installed application like skyfire and compass.

when i browsing, it just freezes and restarts..

if lucky then can boot into android, if not then probably it stucked with freezed boot screen..

i already been annoyed for this problem around 1 day..still have no way to solve it.

while i typing this, the phone once again freeze during standby...

reli have no more idea how to solve it.. in fact maybe the problem came from the hardware itself?

#addon

i realize the problem is caused by the memory card.

when i take out the memory card and boot. the freezing problem did not occur.. however i cant install application as low disk space and not able to receive sms as well..

i'm using a brand new kingston 4gb class 4 class.. i think the card is not faulty...
[G1 Android Development] Inceptron:
Download link for 1.2.2 isn't working...hopefully it'll be working in the morning..
[G1 Android Development] LOONEyRR:
yah. i got mine to load as well. but are u still gettin the stock boot ani? and if you look at the changelog, we dont have whats supposed to be in the update. like the new apps. and also, try flashin a past rom from him, you'll start gettin the same old stock boot ani. wack. lol

Edit:wtf. now 1.2 works fine for me again. lol
[G1 Android Development] LOONEyRR:
you never know about the card, cause i bought a kingston before and it never worked since the day i got it. and it does sound like an sd issue, the same thing was happening to me, looks like ur gonna have to run to wallyworld and kick down 10 bucks on a card. unless you're not in a hurry, i bout a class 10 4gig on amazon.com for like 23 bucks. btw after you did all that. did you get sparks custom boot ani?(thats hella funny,, it sounds like im tryin to say boonani with a stuffed up nose. i bet you just tried sayin it too! lol)

well. i guess before you go and buy a ned sd, do you have setcpu installed? cause if its set too high, it'll also freeze. i wanted to see what the difference was when i turned mine all the way up and my phone kept lockin up i had to turn the speed down.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
1. No don't need to do everything all over again like reflashing spl and radio. Not sure what you mean by latest spl and radio. Reflashing the recovery is not dangerous like the other two. I'm using the 2005 (danger) spl, are you?

2. Are you using ext4?
[G1 Android Development] dixon93:
yes, same as you.

anyway as someone had pointed out, the problem was caused by the microsd card.

When i did reflash again using the old sandisk 1gb and eventually it works flawlessly.

It's kinda weird that the kingston sd card was working good in other phones but not in G1..

So you guys have any good microsd card suggestion that wil sure works with this phone? 1gb right now is seriously not enough for me, as the ext3 taken half of the capacity.

and no, i using ext3.

by the way.. a very good custom ROM and i using it on my daily basis...thumbs up!
[G1 Android Development] iamanalog:
Hey sparks i have a program error with 1.2.3 which i'm thinking might just be some incompatibility but i dont really know what to look for.

After installing 1.2.3 if i use Waze and open the keyboard the screen gets messed up and i have to close and reopen.

Attached is a screenshot.

And the mediafire link is for the logcat which was to big to upload here..

If you could look it over and see you see anything that would be

[G1 Android Development] LOONEyRR:
i wouldnt even worry about any other brand cept for kingston,the one i got off of amazon is some off the wall brand called "kingmax" and it seems to work. but if ur still trippin , then just stick with a good ol sandisk. :D
[G1 Android Development] Inceptron:
You should add this post to the OP, some EBI1 people want to use this rom too ;)
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
I'm sure they do, but I'm not going to use a alpha kernel when I am on a stable one.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
yeah, well not every app is going to work on a cm based rom. Don't know what Waze is and have never used it, so can't really be to helpful with that
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
yeah, well not every app is going to work on a cm based rom. Don't know what Waze is and have never used it. I did notice that it looks like compatibility with this rom's security. Sounds like this app my be malicious, and asking for permission to do something it probably should not be doing.

http://cyanogenmod.pastebin.com/6pyfZgV2

Edit: I did notice that you uninstalled the app
[G1 Android Development] GunToYoMouth123:
I agree ^

But when your right your right,its a mission to start from scratch, but you should do it when ever you feel the chance to need to.

It will be a super improvement.

:0P
[G1 Android Development] iamanalog:
The point i was making was it worked fine with 1.2 and now with 1.2.3 something seems to be messed up.

I guess i'll have to give the 6.1rc1 a try to see if it's doing the same.

Also i did have ap_planet on the phone i don't see how that program would have any effect on another app's display problem though. As far as i know Waze is fully verified by google and is even a featured app so i doubt it's something security wise, seems to just be some bit of display compatibility issue.

Thanks for the response though, i'll have to see if i can replicate it in 6.1rc1
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Hey sparks.

Just flashed to the latest greatest. Everything is running really good so far. No problems at all. Just one little weird thing here. On a my touch since i still haven't created a sig. Put set cpu back on it after flash. It used to have an option for 480. Now it does not have a 480 option. also used to stop at 576 and now i can go up to 614400. On autodetect (which i always use). Just weird. Know anything about it or any reason for it? Not a prob obviously. Just have it set at 537 anyway. Just wondering.

Anyone else with a my touch notice this?

Thanks for another great update. Everything is going awesome. Kudos
[G1 Android Development] Shadoxity:
No i am getting the sparks boot animation, the stock one i was previously getting before reinstalling recovery.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
The stock sparks boot animation? your not making any sense
[G1 Android Development] Shadoxity:
That was 2 different sentences.

I said i was getting the sparks one now, and was previously getting the stock (as in the android word) one when i had the MTD partitions.

P.s. The rom is still running nicely :) Had a random slowdown this morning but seems to be ok now.

Thanks, love your work

bug report!!!

camera and camcorder work but sometimes the colors are way off. Its almost like a layer of blue is added to the picture or video. The Blue overlay only happens after taking a few pictures that look fantastic but then all of a sudden I snap a picture and it has a weird blue overlay on it. As for the camcorder it always seems to have the blue overlay that drowns all the colors out.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
There is no such thing as a bug report with no logcat.
[G1 Android Development] tman7510:
No Bug Report--question?

I suppose It might be a problem on my phone but If I do a complete wipe and restore using nandroid all my apps aren't restored..nandroid hasnt worked for me with froyo...I have used titanium backup but that takes forever. Is there a better/fasster way to backup and restore after a clean wipe?????
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
In my opinion, just do the full wipe then flash, change the settings then reboot do swap and reboot should be running fast
[G1 Android Development] dixon93:
i also recommended to just wipe and reflash..

anyway i wondering how am i going to transfer all my thing to a new sd card?

including ext partition.. since i planning to upgrade a higher capacity sd card..
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
No right now there really is not a better way to backup and restore other than titanium backup. Nandroid doesn't really work for me either. It never restores my boot animation. I think we need a new recovery from amon ra that restores froyo roms. I am going to be making 1.3 as soon as I find the time, but it will be a full wipe required because I am adding in more speed to it. I know right, as soon as I thought this was about as fast as it gets for froyo it just got faster!
[G1 Android Development] crisvillani:
FASTER! its not possible lol

Can't wait man keep up the awesome work!
[G1 Android Development] biglo:
Whenever you got the 1.3 released I will give it a try.
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
OMG, Damn I want to see this 1.3 already haha

And before you said 537 Mhz was enough, your right it is enough haha
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Hey bro,

If u make this any faster it's going to set my phone on fire. Can't wait to see what u do.
[G1 Android Development] LOONEyRR:
You stick the other sd in the phone right on top of the other one. Go to ur terminal, type su, mount -b, And then go to settings>sd card>mount sd card 2>transfer files. Jk. Dude. Just put em in a folder on the comp. Then when u put ur new sd in, drag n drop. :D
[G1 Android Development] dixon93:
yea.. that's what i thinking, but how about ext partition? there is no way i can access it via pc to copy files from there..
[G1 Android Development] LOONEyRR:
Yah. Ha. Well unless someone knows another way. The only way I know how you can do it is you use droid explorer. But other than that. I usually just erase my ext and get all my scored again. Cause that's all its used for. Just ur apps . If I'm not mistaken.
[G1 Android Development] tman7510:
Nandroid does that for you. The problem is they are there on the sd card but the links are not recreated so you the OS doesn't see them. At least that is what I think is happening because I can mount my ext partition after running nandroid and all the apps are there.:confused:
[G1 Android Development] LOONEyRR:
ok. dont take those instructions serious. none of that is possible. lol. and yah. u caaannn use nandroid. but i was talkin about just the files. yah, ur right nandroid works but as far as the files go, youve gotta drag n drop. but if you really wanna dig into ur ext you can install droid explorer like say you wanna save ur scores on ur games and stuff, if ur installing a new rom. idk if any of this is makin sense, cause im in a hurry, but whateva. ha
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Update on 1.3

Ok so I have been having a lot of problems with the rc1 release from cyanogen, as well as some of the latest nightlies. They are not as stable as 1.2.3, and I have also been having issues with my on-screen keyboard failing to load on first boot. I have successfully made a no wipe update from 1.2.2 that works well, but uses a differn't kernel and kernel modules. So basically this will not be all one rom, but it works well :)
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Do you mean there's a no wipe update from 1.2.3? Will you most likely be waiting till after cyanogen 6.1.0 will be more stable then release 1.3?
[G1 Android Development] tman7510:
Wide and nandroid trouble

Not sure what you are thinking but drag and drop wont make a difference...doesn't matter if they are put there by nandroid or you manually copy/paste to the extended partition????? That would work with eclair but so will nandroid. Must have something to do with how apps2sd works in froyo:confused:
