Actually it works fine, you just have to wait until after you have made the switch to the new radio combination. You need the 30 megs or so of cache to get the radio installed. Apps to sd on the rom works well though so you can rely on that if you like.
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Deleting the 3 folders actually make things weirder not sure why though, I just wipe and flash that's it haha.

Sometimes the 3 folders act up for some reason which makes the phone not as fast I think

Yoshi's is just a micro but not really a micro because this rom's system usage is 87%. yoshi's is like 85% not much of a difference
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Huh. Maybe I'll nandroid back, leave the folders alone, and see if it makes a difference for me. I wonder.
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
It depends sometimes I guess, because recently deleting the folders has caused few problems sometimes not always, but just keep them I guess
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
The accual rom size of this rom uses 86% of the system, yoshi's uses like 83%, only because he removed a bunch of audio files like rintones ect.
[G1 Android Development] ReTro FuZe:
alright, thank you
[G1 Android Development] d12unk13astard:
Ya thats what i thought too, i was reading in firerats thread that as long as you already have the new radio/spl combo you

"ll be fine with using Custom MTD. It just interferes when you already have the custom MTD b4 you flash the new spl/radio when flashing roms. I already have a safe bart backup with al my setting's saved the way i need them so i will try this out and let you all know how things turn out. Really appreciate your feed back on this billquin as i was gonna try the froyo4trout rom (didn't want to ditch sparksmod 1.6.1)
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Thanks for pointing that out, but the thing I like about the radio I'm on now that I flashed in recovery by ezterry has checks for custum mtd's and won't install if you have them. Of course you could just flash them in fastboot and brick your phone! So yes your right when you say you can use custum mtd's, but it's not needed
[G1 Android Development] billquinn1:
Since the devs don't always layout which apps to sd method they are using I like to use MTD to give lots of room for whatever happens on first install. I never go less than 90 for system.
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Something for you all:

This is off first boot btw
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
So far no issues with the compcache hack ;)
[G1 Android Development] :
For the theme haters and whiners

Here is a flashable update to get Sparks 1.6.2 back to stock. If I have missed an apk that has been themed you want adding pm me.

Link removed until tomorrow.
[G1 Android Development] ralphclark:
No Custom MTD?

My G1 normally runs CM6.1 with a shrunken /system via Custom MTD, and a number of other FireRat patches which relocate parts of /data to live in /sd-ext.

Upon flashing your 1.6.2 ROM, it didn't seem to care that recovery was already patched with FireRat's Custom MTD, it booted without any visible issues and I could see my resized /system and /data partitions just as they'd previously appeared under my patched CM6.1.

But after flashing FR-boot-v1.5.6-CustomMTD_S.zip which Custom MTD users are supposed to do immediately after flashing a new ROM (or kernel), I can't get past the boot screen. Is this what you meant?

So what is expected to happen if I flash your ROM on top of the resized MTD but then refrain from applying FireRat's ROM/kernel patch? It seems to work but will the patched recovery or altered MTD cause some problem further down the line?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
I thought you had to flash two things for custom mtd's, one to patch the recovery and one to patch the boot? So if you don't flash the boot patch along with every rom on your patched recovery then you should have no issues, but like I said its unnessessary.
[G1 Android Development] kelvin216:
fc at setup

i need a little help here i have a g1 with the new radio/spl combo ext4 at 512 96 swap and at booting of 1..6.2 im getting a force close at setup wizard get passed that and i have no launcher showing what happened i did the superwipe regular wipe also the cachedatasystem wipe script
[G1 Android Development] surfwaimea:
Not actually a flashable file ;)
[G1 Android Development] :
My god I fail so badly tonight!

*Walks up to a mirror and double face palms himself*

It is now fixed and flashable, thanks for letting me know.
[G1 Android Development] asb123:
This caused fatal FCs :s
[G1 Android Development] :
Removed link and my apologies, gonna do it tomorrow when I am awake and have a free minute or two, My apologies for the impressively massive failure.
[G1 Android Development] anghellic:
Worked fine for me. I still prefer the theme, I was just testing to see if it would run any faster without the theme...not that it's not fast already. I'm a speed fiend :D
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Well the theme is optimized as much as possible, so I don't think it'll be much faster. Any thoughts on a compcache ram usage hack?
[G1 Android Development] anghellic:
Themed actually seems a tiny bit faster if anything, so I can verify that.;) I think the hack wouldn't be such a bad idea. Do it up :cool:
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
96% is way too much swap btw, maybe that's that problem ;)
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
He meant 96MB, not 96%. It's why he said it right after the size of the EXT partition.
[G1 Android Development] asb123:
96MB is good for a sense rom but 32MB is best for a regular one...
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
my bad on the typo, but 32% compcache is better anyways :p
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Yeah dude I'm on IRC right now
[G1 Android Development] anghellic:
what channel are you in?
[G1 Android Development] anghellic:
must've just missed you guys. I'm curious about this compcache business
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
I'm on the freenode one right now ;)
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
freenode, name = #sparks-mod
[G1 Android Development] thisishoot:
Ive been on xda for a while so this is my first acutal post. all i can say is thank you for making such a killer rom. putting out good roms that people really enjoy is the main reason i really i got into developing in the first place. themeing is so trivial compared to having a rom that could make somebody in wal mart want to 70 bucks to get their phones like yours (yes i read posts!!!) thanks again bro ill be supporting ya no matter what lol
[G1 Android Development] Trek55:
Maybe I missed the boat, but why is it rom 162 been taken out? is there a problem with the Rom?
[G1 Android Development] jpzzle:
That's only because as much as people get excited on their scores/points. Reality and actuality are otherwise. Those numbers are in no way, NO WAY equal performance. Advise, just tweak it till your find settings that actually give you and your phone congruent visible results.
[G1 Android Development] thisishoot:
i guess some people were ungrateful that it didnt have "the right theme for them" but hey, what do i know? :-b
[G1 Android Development] jacklc000:
1.6.2

No nothing wrong with the ROM....works silky smooth!!!

Dev makin a statement ;)

Send Sparksco a PM, He should be able to help ya :p
[G1 Android Development] :
For the theme haters and whiners

So after pulling the file last night and testing I found nothing wrong with it, flashed and tested this morning by myself. So I'll say again if I missed an apk that is themed you want adding just pm me. This will give you a stock look and is a flashable update for v1.6.2. No files have been harmed in the making of this update! Basically it's just a stock look upgrade nothing has been changed or actually upgraded only the look.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7590900/SparksStock.zip
[G1 Android Development] CamoGeko:
Ok, been using this 1.6.2 rom since yesterday. Got SetCPU running @ 576mhz / 64mb swap / 40 swappiness / compcache off / Jit off / 24mb heap. Also got MinFreeManager & Advanced Task Killer apps set to aggressive to keep memory free.

So far so good. :D :D :D

Thanks Sparks for great rom!

All you whining about the theme, seriously if you got nothing better to do GO AND TRY TO MAKE YOUR OWN ROM! See you in 5 years, losers!

Btw, I'm still running the basic theme. Thanks Sparks for the xml to change the txt colour. :D
[G1 Android Development] MrBurrito:
Wow! Good that I saw your post. I was just about to post a link to the ROM hosted on my server thinking Spark was having hosting issues or something. Oh well its his ROM, to do as he pleases.

If the Mod is trying to make a statement by keeping his ROM to himself only because of some minor criticism on something as trivial as the theme well then the only statement I see being made seems to be : DO NOT CRITICIZE!!

If that's truly the case, personally I think it would be easier to just put something to the effect of "NO CRITICISM PLEASE" in the OP, but to each his own.

BTW the 162 ROM works just fine with crisvillani's ver161 themes.
[G1 Android Development] thisishoot:
im sorry is this the new update? i just want to be sure before i start flashing all willy nilly:confused:
[G1 Android Development] CamoGeko:
I think its just a stock theme update for 1.6.2 (so basically reverts everything to stock), but dont take my word for it lol.
[G1 Android Development] thisishoot:
oh okay well imma just pm him then to be on the safe side but thanks lol
[G1 Android Development] CamoGeko:
Yeah thats best thing to do. :)
[G1 Android Development] tman7510:
bestway to backup??

I have never been able to get nandroid with ext backup to work with froyo roms. What is the best way to restore after upgrading to latest rom. I know I can use titanium backup but it takes a long time to restore all my apps. Using nandroid like I used to with eclair roms was a much easier method of restoring.
[G1 Android Development] Trek55:
I used to have the same problem, but now I choose Bart back up and restore, seem to work...
[G1 Android Development] d12unk13astard:
Agreed, if you have amon-ra 1.7 recovery(who doesn't by now) choose bart backup. Works 100% everytime you restore.
[G1 Android Development] tman7510:
BART backup

Does barts backup restore everything even texts?
[G1 Android Development] :
Firstly your font sucks! :D

Secondly it is what it say's it is, nothing more than returning a stock look for all the whiners, haters and general moaning ungrateful gits :D

Nothing is updated other than returning things back to a stock look. Have even added that the only thing updated is the look in the orig post to save further misunderstandings ;)
[G1 Android Development] d12unk13astard:
Very nice work shadowch, might give 1.6.2 a try now :-P
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
It's because people complained too much about the theme that's why. Just ask sparksco for the link
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Thanks fOr the work dude.
[G1 Android Development] Bavilo:
Wow the first post of this thread is probably the most unorganized post I have seen....

You really need to clean that up in order for people to make any sense of that crap.
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
It is organized, I don't know what your looking. If you can't understand then don't bother reading it
[G1 Android Development] anghellic:
how's that compcache working out for ya?
[G1 Android Development] Trunks2834:
mms size limit

I was wondering if anyone else has been having and issue with the mms size limit for video? The max size of a video that i've been able to send is like 15sec where as i used to be able to send 1min. Is there a setting that i'm missing to fix it?

Love the rom btw. Great work!
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
I'm not sure actually. Did you set up the length of the video when your making a video to full or limit to sdcard something like that
[G1 Android Development] Trunks2834:
The video itself works fine. I can take any length of video that i want. But when i go to attach a video that i've already taken to an mms it say's " Message size limit reached, sorry you cannot add this video to your message" The only way to actually add a video to the message is going attach, then capture video. Which it only allows you to take a 13 sec video. unless there's a setting in messaging that i've missed.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
You can release whatever you want bro, but people have reported that the Black Chrome theme runs faster than the stock one.

We'll look into it thanks

Well now that your OP see if there is anything you can do with just cut and paste to move stuff around, or maybe change some of the text, honestly I just got sick of having to update the OP all the time

Great, reminds me of cm5 except for faster

Not sure why your camera is different, you have enough room left on your sdcard?
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Wasn't there something about a compcache hack going around here the other day? Whats going on with that? A higher % value?
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
I love this ROM Sparks!! Glad I got it before it was taken down. Been running fast, smooth & with 0 issues since i flashed it successfully. All my apps have been restored. All accounts sync'd.

I'm sorry for those that missed it. And sorry for the whiners and complainers.

Thanx for making this a great New Year!
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
yeah so far three people have tested it and boot time is about 1min, check your pm's ;)
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
The compcache hack is default at 32%, the thing is once you either disable compcache and setup swap you have to reflash all over again just to get the hack

We'll since I'm OP now I'll reupload 1.6.2 till more people complain and I take it off again
[G1 Android Development] :
Just add my stock theme look .zip underneath it and tell them to go chew bricks if they want to continue *****in! :D
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Sure thing dude, I'll upload it to the folder with the rest of the files
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Yeah, just saw you as the op. Was wondering how that worked out. What brand of sd card do you have? Was thinking of getting a class 6 transcend card.

Also, when u unlock your phone does your wallpaper blink for a second when the animation goes by? Wondering if that's supposed to happen or not. Has with mine no matter how i set it up. Just curious.
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
For the sdcard, I'm just using transcend class 6 4gb, it works flawlessly

As for the wallpaper, it does happen to me as well
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Cool. Thanks for the info. Im trying to decide between 4 or 8GB. but same brand. Thanks
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
ADW?

Hey, blah, are using the ADW launcher with 1.6.2 or is that a no-go?

Just wondering. I was really liking it in 1.6.1 and I was thinking of trying it on this. But, not if it's gonna mess it up.
[G1 Android Development] :
ADW works flawlessly, I'm running v1.1.5 as its my favourite and no probs at all. Even allows a dual launcher which I haven't had for a long time.
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Awesome! Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
I'm back to using ADW EX haha, I just prefer it more
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Should I adb pull the stock out or just run it as an addon? Any prefrence?
[G1 Android Development] :
Have had it running both ways without any issue, I usually kill the stock launcher because I like to have things nice and neat but if for just playing around with for awhile dual it, you won't see any slow down.
[G1 Android Development] Trunks2834:
Yes there is plenty of room on my sd card. The problem seems to be with the messaging ap. The video camera itself works fine. Its just attatching the video to the message that doesn't work with a video longer than 13 sec.
[G1 Android Development] d12unk13astard:
Been running 1.6.2 compcache off 0 swap and really impressed with the speed and stability of the update. I'm sure when you guys integrate the compcache hack it will be nice and fast @ first, same with swap but I've seen videos with both setups ran side by side where no swap and no CC always runs faster in the longrun.

I do notice slightly better battery life with this 1.6.2 rom however, I appreciate the pre themed rom made by sparksco but I prefer all my roms stock, so thanks goes to shadowch for the theme.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Changelog

Here's a preview of the changelog
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Have you tried a different messaging app like chomp?
[G1 Android Development] :
Oooohhh your almost right on the CC side of things that is unless your me with a gscript that stops, cleans, resizes (if required) and then restarts the CC eleminating that CC slowdown problem.....

Script attached, use with g-script from market. Create a folder on your sdcard called gscript and save the script into it and rename it removing the .txt. Then open gscript and menu/add script/load file/click on it, give it su permission and save. Then just click on it to run, it will show at the end the 'free' command readout showing that the CC has been restarted and no reboot is required.
[G1 Android Development] d12unk13astard:
Thanks for the information shadowch will give it a shot.
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Wow. That could come in handy. Thanks for that.
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Updated OP, I made it shorter

Also SparksMod 1.6.2 links are back up, just PM me for the password
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
yeah links are up
[G1 Android Development] jpzzle:
ADW L EX is even better wow, can't believe how much better it makes an already SUPERB rom.. BEST FROYO ROM to date.
[G1 Android Development] yohshua:
why is 1.6.2 password protected ??
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
SD Card Failure

My SD card is reading and holding things and working but, for some reason the ext part isn't. Does this mean it's done?

I am able to reformat the card using Windows 7 or Amon_RA but,still the ext part is not working. I switched back to the 1GB Class 2 card until I can get another or fix this one.

Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] yohshua:
have you tryed uping to ext3 or 4 and see if any of those ext work
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Yes. I usually use ext4, I even tried ext3.
[G1 Android Development] slashvanyoung:
I'm slightly confused right now... What's up with the 1.6.3 build in the mediafire folder? I thought 1.6.2 is the current one?
[G1 Android Development] yohshua:
hmm thats very odd

have you tryed repairing you ext partition in recovery ?
[G1 Android Development] yohshua:
if you look again at the OP 1.6.3 is the current now
[G1 Android Development] Arkain2K:
Wow, you need a password to download this ROM now? in XDA Forums no less? :confused:

Fact is, there isn't a single ROM development thread in XDA without ungrateful noobs getting under the Dev's skin, including the official CM threads. You just gotta shake it off and ignore the garbage (literally, with the ignore feature), not getting sucked into their childish games :cool:

Well, it was fun while it lasted, thanks for the awesome 1.6.1 experience Sparks team! I guess it's time to try another ROM, made by a dev team who's mature enough NOT to force the average users to jump through hoops just to get the download link.

Happy New Year folks!
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
I'm pretty sure everyone has noticed, there's a 1.6.3 version

This is really 1.6.3, it comes with the compcache 32% hack. If you already have it no need to update besides a few changes to the rom itself

If you want to update, you still need to rewipe then flash rom and gapps
[G1 Android Development] yohshua:
you dont need a password just look the op has been updated and 1.6.3 is out and ready for download ^_^
[G1 Android Development] anghellic:
Jump through hoops? Please, if you read up it says to just pm the OP for the password. How hard could that be?
[G1 Android Development] slashvanyoung:
Alright, ready to check 1.6.3 out. After I had sorted out my FC issues, I was extremely happy with 1.6.1. Especially when paired with ADW EX, it flies. :)
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
1.6.3 actually beats a donut and eclair rom, unbelievable but it's true
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Indeed, tried that as well.

Is this a no-wipe update from 1.6.2 or is wipe required?

Also, is it BlackChrome or Stock? If stock, can I flash the BlackChrome over it?
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Well if you read my posts before, I said wipe is required
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
I see, sorry & Thanks.

**Also, is it BlackChrome or Stock? If stock, can I flash the BlackChrome over it?
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Well the link should give you the answer to that haha, BC = BlackChrome

Yes it's BlackChrome, it's faster than stock
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
I thought that, lol. See how smart I am?

Thanks, again.

:D
[G1 Android Development] DragonsMaw:
Any word on battery life? Getting a full 24 hours light use or need to keep a second battery around?
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Yeah, you just needed some help

Btw, I put StockSparks.zip as attachment in the OP for those who want it.

You'll lose speed though because it's stock, BlackChrome is faster
[G1 Android Development] d12unk13astard:
1.6.3 wow you guys just rolled that 1 out lol. Does this new rom already have shadowch31's script for the CC hack integrated into the rom or would I need to download the gscript still from the market, also would doing so conflict with the 1.6.3 rom since it already has 32mb unlocked by default?
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
I've been using mine for probably around 24 hours or more I think, and I'm at 614mhz max/176min
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Why don't you read the OP and the changelog?

It clearly says that it has 32% of compcache on default!
[G1 Android Development] :
It will have zero conflict as it is set to 32mb anyway and can be run as normal :)
[G1 Android Development] :
Blah relax fella, the script does things that just plain old CC sat there can't do by itself and was just enquiring if the script would have a problem! ;)
[G1 Android Development] yatzee:
whats new on the new version?

sorry did not read on the 1st post
[G1 Android Development] d12unk13astard:
Blah your never really any help I already knew it had 32mb by default why don't you read my post again instead. Shadowch31 answered my post 1nce again cuz he's... you know... actually helpful lol
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Well I would relax if people would just read the OP and changelog
[G1 Android Development] d12unk13astard:
Dunno why sparksco made you an op of this thread your really no help and you sound like a tard on your video review :-)
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Haha that's funny
[G1 Android Development] :
*Shrugs and wanders off*

Whatever fella, I'll leave you too it.
[G1 Android Development] yohshua:
if you read the OP it says what is new ^_^

hay leave blah alone he might have just missread your post it happens to us all relax

blah relax people always ask question even when this are right there for them to read

onces again leave blah alone if you dont have anything good to say then dont say anything at all blah is doing what he can to help so relax your self
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Thank you for reading the 1st post, at least some people read it

If you need any help just ask
[G1 Android Development] yatzee:
anyone know's how to edit the games on g1 some of my gameloft games are not fit on the screen i want to use the modding apk but i dont know how to edit some file like.xml

[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
I'm just going to ignore him
[G1 Android Development] sada23:
seems like the links are pointing to gapps. The link for 1.6.3 is the same as gapps link.
[G1 Android Development] yohshua:
this is more of a question to ask in the general section you may be able to get better help there on moding a games .apk
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
yep, same here:(
[G1 Android Development] yohshua:
blah is fixing it should be back up soon ^__^
[G1 Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Sorry about that dude, it's fixed now
