I don't know anything about a mytouch fender, so why don't you tell me? Also why should I develope for radio's and spl's I don't have? Maybe you should start developing your own stuff??? I'm not going to be switching to different radios and spl's all the time to test something
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Yes, make yor own animations. I really don't see why people know somethings changing when its right in the changelog on the OP. So you can't say I didn't warn you, or tell you what was to come before flashing. If you don't like it then don't flash, we have already put a ton of work into this, and we are not going to try and make everyone happy because well...its impossible.
[G1 Android Development] mzmo:
Lol! its cool, I know your stressed/pissed at people's ignorance & gay criticism.

Forget the animations....Great Rom....i love you man! :D
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
No bro I'm not really stressed out about bs like that, I mean this is the g1 development section, not the mytouch fender developmet lol. Ill make normal animations, but I'm not in a hurry to do it
[G1 Android Development] xillius200:
Hey if they comment again about it being fender compatible just blank um xD
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Maybe the sparksmod 32a is more compatible, but who knows
[G1 Android Development] xxpada:
hey sparksco

thanks so much man i juss wantd say that..

cuz i kno i cant afford a g2 and its been 2 months since i been with simple mobile and this is my second g1.. (i brickd first one by flashing danger spl without flashing radio lol i switchd motherboards from a crackd new one i bought to replace

nowadays g1's r like 75 even down to 50 if you get lucky on craigslist.

but yeahh juss wantd to say thanks cuz inna house where my roommates gott a mt3g slide and motorola droid..

my fones juss as fast as there if not smoother..

thanks man. theres my story lol
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Nice story, thanks for sharing :D My first G1 was bricked about a year ago, I guess I should look on craigslist for a new motherboard, so I can sell it.
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
I'm loving this so much dude

No lag at all, no random reboots, no force closes
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
Rooted 2 G1's successfully and still running like a charm....NOW WHERE'S MY COOKIE!!???? Just kidding, I'm just being sarcastic.....
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Sadly no cookie, but what about a video review for this rom?
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
Review will come out either tonight or tomorrow for sure bro, unless you make one first haha
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
I was already going to right now haha
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Go for it, I'm uploading the new status bar icons for a blue cirle battery and other status bar mods. I'll have screenshot soon, it's just a flashable mod made for 1.4.1. I just got it awhile ago from cris :D

Edit: I'm using a swap file, and my phone is using 35mb out of 40mb of my swap file, that's a lot! My phone is so fast, it's rediculous!

CM Settings: Compcache disabled, swap file on sd-ext partition at 40mb large with 40 swappiness. JIT ON, lock everything in memory, vm @ 24
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
I'll try these settings out right now, btw video is being uploaded as we speak

Going to take an hour to finish though(my internet sucks, someone get me something faster) haha

Unbelievable, it booted up faster which just the swapiness changed, crazy haha
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Turn JIT off, I keep thinking it's going to magicly start working better with the new releases but it's not. Oh man if I had a good camera to record with I would do it no problem, sorry to hear that your internet is sucky. Well the new theme is in the goodies folder, not sure if I mentioned that or not.
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Man. I'm loving this update. The new animations are sick. Great work guys. Much appreciated. I'm running a swap file 32mb 30 swappiness. Jit off. Vm lowest and mine is running great. Going to play around with different settings the next few days. Thanks guys
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Try this theme out in the goodies folder, I got it from crisvillani:
[G1 Android Development] crisvillani:
All credits to castaway1 i requested it and he made it for me :D

[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Ill check that theme out when I get home. Nice work
[G1 Android Development] santelm:
Want to try

hello guys! i'm having an issue regarding the" /system/bin/swappy off " i have tried but it said permission denied. Any other way around? i'm using 1.4.1.:confused:
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Well did you do

$su enter

# ...........???
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
I'm using a swap file on my sd-ext partition 40mb in size and 40 swappiness, works great for me :D

If you want to change your swap settings like the size of the file and swappiness to see what works best for your sdcard, just do:

/system/bin/swappy on

then change it and reboot.
[G1 Android Development] santelm:
yes,i did with previous versions but somehow now i got permision denied and just to check did the fix permissions and most of them gave me the same thing i don't get it?

edit:out of the blue doing the same thing again it worked...i don't know what or why but it did..amazing rom, and the animations rocks!!!
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
go to your superuser app and see if terminal emulator is set on deny, and change to allow
[G1 Android Development] duramas:
Does this ROM have the CM 6.1 notification pulldown toggles?
[G1 Android Development] salazar1979:
first of all, this is by far the greatest rom for g1 that i have tried,ive tried mostly all of them and this breathes new life into my phone.Great job sparks and to all who work hard to bring us(the little people),such great roms.since this is my first post ever on xda(been here since my htc hermes),im gonna ask a noob question.Please be nice sparks..how do i install swap?
[G1 Android Development] santelm:
is there anyway to change the size of sd-ext partition without reformating the sd card?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
No buddy, I had to repartition mine to because I didn't have enough room on it for my 40mb swap file before. Check my info underneath I have a 500mb partition.
[G1 Android Development] santelm:
compcache disable,reboot go to terminal type su

sh/system/etc/fr-patch141-BETA2.txt swap

set swap level

reboot
[G1 Android Development] santelm:
if still have questions check the first page of the op
[G1 Android Development] santelm:
just hoping i didn't have to go thru all that but well the price to pay...huh
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
What class of sdcard is it??
[G1 Android Development] santelm:
4gigs class 4
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
Wooo... I was in no way trying to come off cocky or demanding, if I did I am very very truly sorry.

I was really only asking if there was a definite need for this radio before I tried to flash, thats all. The fender mytouch is just the limitied edition version of the My touch 1.2's that came out with the headphone jack and 32a boards but only recoveries/roms made for 32b/g1 will work. We are only able to use the stock radio and spl on these phones otherwise they dont function as phones which is why i was wondering.

Again, I am sorry if I came off as an ass in anyway. i was just trying to get your opinion on if it was for sure needed or just a performance boost for the G1.:(
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
no problem buddy, it sounds like your on kinda the same thing as one other person I know, but it's definitely something I'm not very knowledgable in, perhaps some else in the Q&A section could offer more advise. As for me I'm just not sure without a logcat..

Edit: This rom has the assert get prop in it, so if you don't have a dream/sapphire phone, or some type of radio port, you can't install it.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
so you can't flash your spl or radio???
[G1 Android Development] paoloc67:
because the notification LED flashes 3-4 times and after it stops flashing ??
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Who are you replying to, yourself???
[G1 Android Development] paoloc67:
sorry for my English (google translator) it does not work?
[G1 Android Development] santelm:
Hey sparks

How do you get to work the live wallpaper hack?:confused:
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
No mine work fine, they flash until the end of days
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
With every new kernel update you must do this:

$ su
# sh /system/etc/fr-patch141-BETA2.txt lwp
# reboot
[G1 Android Development] santelm:
Have you tried wiping twice and reflashing?
[G1 Android Development] bfreexxx:
notifications text

the text in the notifications (when the notification bar is pulled down) doesn't show up unless the item is highlighted cuz it's black. i've tried changing the text colors in cyanogen mod settings but not having any luck. can anyone help me out with this?

great rom btw!
[G1 Android Development] paoloc67:
I'm having this problem with so many rom-based Froyo 2.2.1
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
The First Post has instructions for that:

Edit: Here I copied and pasted it:

Black theme is default. Download the CMTheme file and extract the contents to the root of your sdcard. Then go to Cyanogenmod Settings > User Interface > Tweaks extras > Select a Theme > SparksMod-1.3 Remix. Then reboot. You can overclock this kernel up to 614mhz.
[G1 Android Development] lolmensch:
when you change it, you have to reboot it. otherwise there will be no effect except for the clock..
[G1 Android Development] lolmensch:
@sparksco:

how's battery drain with the new kernel? anyway user of ezterry spl and radio do have to flash his modified kernel anyway right?

(just asking cuz damn pershoot doesnt have fixed his battery drain issues in his kernels until now -.-)

"-After unplugging from USB, please reboot to prevent excessive battery drain. *This is being worked on."
[G1 Android Development] santelm:
Well i have a g1 and my wife has a mytouch,my wife had a similar problem, this is what i did and it worked:

wipe twice,reflash rom, kernnel,gapps then go to settings,led notifications,set colors and reboot.Try it,it worked for me.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Yeah I know I saw that to, anyway I haven't had any really bad battery drain like with 1.4. The extractor is in the 1.4.1 update, along with the new boot.img from nightly build #257 source code. Also has Ezterry's newest kernel extractor based on koush's anykernel extractor, powered behind it to install pershoot's kernel. Works quite well. Anyways my point is my battery is a lot better now.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
You don't need to flash a kernel, 1.4.1 already makes the compatible kernel for new radio and spl..
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
hey sparks, I found my settings :D haha

50 swapiness, 40 swapfile, 24 vm, compcache off, jit off, only checked home memory

works like it should be and more haha

I'm using a class 6 memory card, it'll be different settings for class 4 if i'm correct
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
I know, I love how my swap runs on this!

Edit: Can't wait to see a video on this!
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
I don't know how much swap I have but it's running so fast now

linpack at 614 no jit gave me 2.6 almost 2.7

neocore was 24.2

and yet for some reason my quadrant is still super low haha

I guess in a way, I wanted to find the best settings for it haha

I'm getting at least 20mb on swap
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Quadrant doesn't really count for raw speed on a rom. It's really only good for games. If you turn jit on, your games will run a lot better, but it will slow down your phone more overall.

Edit; My phone runs great with vm32
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Makes sense haha, Oh well the phone is just fantastic :D

OMG 32? haha MMMMMM maybe I should try it
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Yeah, can't wait to see a video!!!;)
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Great, just when I found good settings

you bust a 32 on vm haha
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Don't worry, you have a 40mb size, and vm is only at 32
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
That's not the thing I have to mess with the swapiness again haha

50 was perfect for 24 :D
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Oh I see, sorry yeah I did all my settings last night and I forgot to tell you about that one, my bad.
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
So what should I put the swapiness to it this time? haha
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
That is my settings still from last night, 40-40 swap, vm32
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Haha, no wonder it's godly haha

I'm going to see which I like more 50, 40, 55, 60, 45
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
ok, I'll be on IRC members
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
I'm going to sleep night dude

Damn you for 35mb swap
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
haha, well my wifi died so I had to reboot
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
U can use a swap file larger than your swap partition right? Is there a big difference in using a file rather than an actual partition size for swap settings? Trying to decide if I want to repartition when I get home to play with swap size/vm heap ect.
[G1 Android Development] amossam:
Hey!

I had Froyo for Trout 1.6 with pershoot kernel and 2708 radio (and upgraded radio to 2.22.28.25) ... it was working fine...

i tried this rom (1.4.1) and i wiped everything few times, and with fastboot erase and with ohsaka super-wipe, and device doesn't boot!!

in shell when I run adb logcat it just says "waiting for device" ???

i did everything by the book!

Update:

after few minutes of waiting for device it says this

(these first 3 line are repeated tooo many times!!)

and last lines before phone reboots!

ideas? i tried with 2.22.28.25 and 27.05 radio (wiped between!) and no luck!

thx

edit: now any ROM doesn't wont to boot! starts, workinkg, and then probably when it should start GUI it reboots! grrr

help!!!
[G1 Android Development] lolmensch:
from the first log firerats patch is expecting an answer concerning apps2sd. if stuff gets moved or not. seems like it cant proceed without an answer and so its requesting multiple times. somehow there are too many rquests and therefore it reboots.

concerning that no rom does boot anymore:

try restoring a nand backup and proceed from that on. if you are lucky everything should work. idk for sure why you cant flash any rom atm.

just in case you could try flashing ezterrys compatible kernel over it.
[G1 Android Development] amossam:
I figured that! But why it asks? When you cannot see I or answer it!?

I restored ROM from bart backup and it worked, kind of.... it was unstable, and all was FC!!

After that I wiped everything with fastboot, super-wipe image and all wipes in recovery, AND formated ext2 manually... then I flashed this rom (1.4.1) and pershoot kernel for 2708 radio (altought I flashed 28.25) and now everything works!!

Obviously something was left behind all those wipes...

Thx!!

edit: no, it doesn't work ok.... trying again (see few posts below)! :(
[G1 Android Development] lolmensch:
np, glad i could help ^^

it asks because if you use the patch normally, it also asks ^^ (if you want to move your data apps to sd-ext or sth like that)

i suppose your rom from bart backup would have ran fine with some lil care of fix_permissions ;)
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
I don't know if you read the OP BUT this rom requires at least ext3, I'm using ext4 just because i wanted to

your supposed to flash 1.4 regular THEN wipe dalvik only then flash the 1.4.1

If your using a mytouch 1.0 then it might be the same as mine except mines working

I used superwipe, wipe twice ALL of the options NO REPAIR, flashed the spoof, then rebooted into recovery flashed the 1.4 and gapps then flashed the kernel from ezterry, NOT biffmod's kernel the other one. went into the settings disabled compcache, rebooted then setup swap rebooted and just leave it as it is, then after everythings fine reboot into recovery then wipe the dalvik ONLY and then flash the 1.4.1. this SHOULD fix it. I'm not sure but this is how I got my phone to run so smooth with this rom
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
Nope. The original method I found when I first discovered how to root these phones was to use a gold card with one of Aman ra's downgrade roms renamed as the goldcard file. Then, after fully downgrading and having S-off, you then have to flash in this order- RecoveryG (for 32b even though its a 32a board) Stock radio then Stock Hboot. Recovery first so you can flash roms. After doing all of this, the only way to go back to changing radios is to redowngrade with a gold card. Problem is, Not one other radio I tried would work for phone calls or data. Roms would boot, but nothing more.
[G1 Android Development] amossam:
i read OP, but i didn't noticed about ext3/4 ( AFAIK ext3 is ext2 with journal). i'll try your way and report back.

i have G1,as XDA app wrote in sig... just small question; shall i restore my apps with titanium before or after flashing 1.4.1 ?

thx

edit: still, something is not ok... zipalign keeps receving SIGSEGV!

will do a pastebin of complete log when it full boot...
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Well the thing is that this rom was either made for g1 or mytouch 1.0 or 1.2

Not really sure about the fender since no one from sparksmod has one I believe

It's best if you don't mess with it anymore unless you want a bricked phone
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
it's not the patch that makes the phone reboot, OMG, everyone's log cat is going to say that.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Most likely it's something you didn't do. Phone, radio spl? Why are you flashing a bunch of different radios, that's not a very good idea :confused:
[G1 Android Development] castaway1:
thank you sparksco for credits .. you give me one more reason to continue with it :cool:
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Audio Hack

Hey everyone I wanted to share with you all my audio hack files for making your phone louder. I also included the stock ones in case you guys want to go back to stock audio, here they are: http://www.mediafire.com/?8lc9c3rhenx7h
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
No problem buddy, thank you for the awsome theme, I'm lovin it :D
[G1 Android Development] amossam:
Well it seems that the problem is what id DID do! :D among other apps I have SetCPU. After trials and error I came to conclusion that when I install setcpu whole ROM became unstable and would freeze in minute. So now I don't have setcpu and ROM is stable for few hours...

Why it's not good idea? And I only switched few times between 27.08 and 28.25... and yesterday and today I event flashed orange.nbh few times... :D I supose that this cannot be much harder than swapping BIOS chip on turned on mainboard and flashing it!! :D
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
You don't have to have SetCpu to make the rom run stable, OCD, whatever
[G1 Android Development] amossam:
yes, i know!! but for ex if I want to OC to 614 MHz, like I always did! it doesn't make sense that setcpu makes a rom unstable! but nevermind, this rom is fast anyway!!

:D
[G1 Android Development] nighthawk626:
not tryna be a pain in the ass but is it possible to get the roms 1.4, 1.4.1 and gapps in one zip?
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Well no it's not. Can't put a radio and spl in one zip and flash it either
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
No because our phones are designed to update sutff in a certain order, like rom before gapps, ect. So if you mix it all in it gets confused. Plus what's the big deal when all you have to do is flash 1.4, then 1.4.1 right on top of it, I mean how hard is that???
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
It's not too hard I think he just wants the speed instantly you know?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Oh yeah believe me I would if I could, but I always run into issues when I add gapps to rom. The extractor is already in the rom, so one less thing to flash now :D
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
The fender mytouch is a Mytouch 1.2, just with Fender branding. the Hboot is locked so even on Mytouch 1.2, you cant use an ENG spl.

Oh well, Looks liek Ill be leaving Sparks 1.4 on there since I got a Mytouch 4g now lol
[G1 Android Development] KyuubiKing:
Idk if this was asked already but how did you make the lock screen look like that?
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Well i repartitioned my sd flashed the audio hack zip and then the theme zip and now my phone wont boot. dont know whats going on with it.

http://cyanogenmod.pastebin.com/YwQ2wpE6

Any ideas

now its not booting the nandroid either. Weird
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Go into the cyanogenmod settings and go into input then phone and messaging check that
[G1 Android Development] KyuubiKing:
Thanks! Is it unique to this ROM or is it because of the version of CyanMod ur using?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
well when you partition your sdcard you need to do a full wipe and reflash again, flashing the base 1.4 rom, then 1.4.1, then gapps. You don't need to flash anything else like kernel extractors or anything. Just a fyi
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
So no flashing the kernel extractor and gapps with 1.4? Just base rom and then update to 1.4.1 with gapps.

Thanks for the swift response

Edit: Just flash the 1.4 and gapps w\o the kernel extractor and then 1.4.1 i assume

2nd edit: watching my logcat on boot now and im getting a lot of zipalign failed on apps. but it booted into the os so i guess i will reboot into recovery and flash 1.4.1 and see what happens. Keep you posted
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
I'm not sure actually

This is the first rom that has it I think haha
[G1 Android Development] rawfire:
Too slow for daily usage,

Seems cool but clock & Notification font is in BLACK & background for both of them is black also, which SUCKS.

Overall this ROM is not for daily use
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Yeah don't pay attention to that zipalign, it's because I'm using new updated apps from the market that can't be zipaligned. It only happens on first boot, after that you shouldn't see that anymore.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
well you seem to be the first one to think that, thanks for the input.
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
it's meant for the ramhack radio though, not the danger
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
I'm going to put on the OP "For Advanced Users Only"
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Thanks for the response. I think everything went well getting back to 1.4.1 successfully. setting up swap right now so all is well. Just dont know if it was the audio file or the theme that caused it not to boot up. Guess ill experiment a little next time i have a chance.

@ rawfire

I guess your new here but the black on black is going to be like that in any cm based froyo rom. Maybe you should ask questions before you put your ignorance out there like that. Also considering you couldnt figure that out or use the search feature here. I assume it wasnt the rom or phone thats slow but perhaps the user.

Good luck doing anything
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Well this is the thing about the audio and theme

flash it separately it helps and the phone won't get confused, me and sparks talked about it
[G1 Android Development] salazar1979:
This is by far the best rom for g1 out...hands down.haven't had any fc's or random reboots,its smooth,fast,and the last rom I'm gonna flash for my g1.that is until sparks and friends come out with something better,but until then.....no one should say its not for daily use,because it definitely is.I'm running compache off,everything locked in mem,vm24 swap 20 20,jit off,with a 2gig mem card I've had for years.I'm sure mem card ain't even class2,,,so this rom is the best.SPARKSCO and friends.....excellent rom,,,great job.
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Actually there's better settings BUT that depends on the class of your card
