Thanks for supporting this, I've recently started a new job and its a little crazy.

The only changes to make this work are the xpad driver and a line in an init file to load it on startup.

The keys are hardcoded into the module. I was looking into adding multicontroller support before I lost all my free time. Here's my modified xpad.c file for anyone trying to get this to work on any other devices. I cross compiled it as a module for a tegra 2 kernel from nvidia

I couldn't get my Gamestop branded 360 controller to work, not sure if it is compatible. Is there anything I should have to do to enable it or should it just work right off the bat?

edit:

also has anyone tried the razer onza? thinking about picking that controller up if it works.

edit 2:

nevermind, ended up buying a microsoft 360 wired controller and it works fine now.

thanks to the developers for their awesome work.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M!x:
First, I apologize if this is an issue that has already been discussed; however, I did look through the stickied threads and didn't find anything that really answered the question I have.

I have tried several different Froyo 2.2 ROMs on my Dream, and they always seem to run a fraction of the speed of Donut ROMs. Loading the home screen, applications, and webpages always seems to take a lot longer, and there just isn't that quickness that Donut has.

Am I doing something wrong? Anyone else have the same experiences?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N4R4Y4N:
I actually have to stick with this fact. Also i did notice that the rom i tried "passing through" the process of moving on from Android 1.6 to Android 2.2.1 (was JF if i recall) was kinda faster then the Biff mod i have on my G1 now.

But i don't think that it is anything wrong about it, i think that frankly the g1 start to be an obsolete piece of hardware.

Maybe i am wrong but just so that you know i tried to download "Angry Birds Lite" and start it...well it's kinda a shame as it stutters terribly. Is it a matter of ROM MOD or just that the G1 isn't a young quicky fella anymore :D?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siddharthsai:
The hardware is outdated .
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M!x:
It's just interesting then how so many people appear to be running these Froyo 2.2 builds. Do they not realize how sluggish they have made their phones?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N4R4Y4N:
Why shouldn't we M!x. Me, on my hand, i have a G1 blocked by my phoning company and sold me an 1.1 Android HTC Dream...so awful...i couldn't even use my camera as a video recorder (and they didn't release not 1, not only 1 update!)

And as long as i am flashing and modifying everything i don't find why shouldn't i update my phone to the latest version of this wonderful OS.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M!x:
Why shouldn't you? Because it's slow? Have you tested Android 1.6 vs Android 2.2? You don't notice the significant slowdown? Taking 5 seconds to bring up the dialpad?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N4R4Y4N:
ok wait wait wait...

Oh well...i dont know if u intend that literally takes 5 seconds...but with the Biff mod it's not THAT slow...

i only joined up in the topic cos i found the phone slow in some occasions but not that it jeopardize the overall use.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2927524:

i guess your the two among the fews who didnt get their phones up and running froyo fluently.

checkout the OTA and after that the more bareboners/tweaked roms, read through the corresponding forums, and try to admit that you have to abandon having fancy stuff on yer phone.

as for me im right now running the OTA the one available here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=811620

with cpu set 122-614mhz, using modified radio hack to gain +14mb of ram and modified lowmemorykiller values.

ive been running the system since weeks with no hangups,and is snappy az should be.

done these not with with third party apps but adding an initscript that sets these values at boot time WITHOUT needing running yetanother app running.

i dont even have to use compcache.

must mention that i use ADW home manager with only 2 desktops, no dockbar and so, minimized fancy in order to keep its memory consumption low, using only the calendar widget and Quick Settings in notification bar.

i have even found out recently that switching on the animations lets you feel your phone more snappy since it takes your attention while loading or switching between views/screens:DD

[it does work indeed!]

so snappy and stable that i am afraid of trying new so said tweaked roms like:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=825716&page=48

or

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=929678

i guess more and more G1 users/developers are trying to strip down and tweak froyo to get the max out it since this may be the last stable rom available for our devices.

and no, i dont think that our devices are outdated, definitely not for normal day use.

so keep up finding the best way for yours!

cheers

You make these claims without telling what roms you've tried.

Have you tried this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=811620 ??? Because this one *IS FAST*. At least it is when combined with the 2708 memory hack.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M!x:
Thanks for the information guys, I will certainly try these ROMs. I have, by the way, tried standard builds of Froyo, CM6, SuperF, with disappointing results. They worked "OK," but had a fraction of the performance of Donut.

You guys can try my Froyo rom. Only complaints I get is about the Bloatware,lol. No drag, almost like a donut rom in speed. I have over 3000 downloads. The link is on my signature or on the G1 development section. Let me know what you think!

EXTREMELY weak vibrations, go to your settings->sound->vibration intesity and feel it on max. Then press any of the 4 buttons on the bottom, you should be able to tell the difference. Anyone know a fix to it?
[Vibrant General] stanleyshmanley:
Same issue here. KA6 build.
[Vibrant General] brian_v3ntura:
i wouldnt say that the froyo update release today thru kies is official or anything as it was an involuntary update and most likely not final. i'm pretty sure TMO CMO decided it was a good move to provide something to help calm furious users.

but anyways to fix this, it involves a simple code value change to those who actually know how to code.
[Vibrant General] ikevinnyii:
is there currently a rom that doesnt have this problem?? last roms i flashed had this problem +others and i went back to stock
[Vibrant General] jdub1911:
well lets get someone in here who knows the code! i've had the issue since i started flashing custom roms.

Come on baby! Lets get some heavy vibrations up in this here cell phone!
[Vibrant General] synaesthetic:
The haptic feedback is weak in every 2.2 ROM I've used (and on JL1, it was totally nonfunctional).

It was present in Eclair ROMs, but still very weak compared to what it feels like in the Settings menu (and extremely weak compared to other phones). Sometimes I miss calls or texts because the weak vibration.

Typing is a little harder with such weak haptic feedback, too...
[Vibrant General] cundiffr:
this is true.
[Vibrant General] Sdobron:
Not too big of an issue for me, I don't even keep it on max level.
[Vibrant General] Emama:
Yes it is weaker
[Vibrant General] eunkipark92:
Same,having it on at max just eats more battery.
[Vibrant General] ferhanmm:
Anyone found a fix yet? I always have a charger within reach so I don't mind the battery hit.
[Vibrant General] zwierenga:
I've noticed that mine makes a strange noise noise when it vibrates as well. Anyone else experience that?
[Vibrant General] eleminop:
yeah kinda like an old super mario sound lol
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Thats what happens when the phone is made of plastuc.

Yes, i'm serious.

That doesnt happen on e.g. A blackberry oe hd3, but it happens a lot on phones with plastic casings...
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
It's probably weaker to conserve battery but with it being like this for all 2.2 roms, it was probably intentional. Look in the i9000 forum for complaints and I'm sure you will find many suggesting that it is normal.
[Vibrant General] dan0zone:
That's right .... having it on through out the system, even on the keyboard will drain your battery .... its no cause for concern ...
[Vibrant General] jdub1911:
and for some people that's an obvious and acceptable drawback. anyone have a fix?
[Vibrant General] dan0zone:
But its there, its not like they took out, you're the same ones that were crying about the battery life, they found some areas to improve on ...like the strength of the vibration amongst others.... what is the issue ....
[Vibrant General] kadashti:
I don't think the OP was concerned about his battery life, I think he was concerned about weak haptics.

I updated and have the same problem as him and and a a few other people. I generally keep my haptics set to a low level because I consider them overpowering, but since this new update I can barely feel them. Furthermore, once I go into 'settings > sound > vibration intensity' to make them more powerful I get a strange squeaking noise every time my phone vibrates and the vibrations get no stronger.

I highly doubt this happens because of the plastic construction, unless 2.1 changes what the phone is made out of.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
I think I read what the post said. I think I know what I said. I said it was probably intentional like you know.. the change from a blue data network icon to a gray one. Not being able to feel it is an exaggeration.
[Vibrant General] kadashti:
Sorry heygrl, I wasn't trying to insult you. I'm just trying to find a way to get what I consider normal haptic vibrations on this phone.
[Vibrant General] jdub1911:
haha i'm pretty sure i said it's an acceptable drawback to get lower battery life. I wasn't complaining about the lack of battery, i've well accepted the low battery life on this phone since it came out. I obviously understand certain things will lower the life a bit more, and i'm fine with this. Why are you in this thread? if you're happy with the lower intensity great, good for you. some of us are curious to see if it could be a little better. That's not us getting upset or complaining at the devs. Thank you devs for making this phone better than it's ever been! sincerely! It's a simple request to see if anyone has a fix. if it doesn't exist it doesn't exist. if it's not an issue for you, and you can't suggest a fix, i'm confused as to why you're here...
[Vibrant General] indiemixer:
My vibration used to be weak, but it completely stopped working today. Running Axura 2.2.7
[Vibrant General] synaesthetic:
Any fix for this yet?

So annoying. The demo mt4g at my T-Mo store has much stronger haptics. :( On my Vibrant I might as well just turn it off, it's so weak.
[Vibrant General] ikevinnyii:
The problem is still there, i heard from Master its a kernel issue, and the "official 2.2" from mini kies had weak haptic feedback overall on everything (keyboard, dialer, the 4 main buttons). I dont think it was intentional at all, because with the newer roms the haptic feedback went back to normal on only the keyboard, while the dialer and everything else is still weak. As for the battery concerns its a non issue to me at all, this new Rom im using (Playtime) gives me great battery life i can last 1 and half to 2 days off one charge and i didnt even recalibrate it yet. So being a kernel issue well just have to wait for new custom kernels when the devs get their hands on the source, as of now only eugene has the source code and made a custom kernel but idk if the haptic feedbacks fixed or not.

On a side note if you like Touchwiz launcher you should def check out the rom Playtime http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=935799, its like Touchwiz but way better :) lag free and best battery life i had on any rom.

I bought a used Vibrant on eBay, and it came with a broken piece of glass on the camera. It had a nice little 'Y' shape right in the middle that caused a nasty glare in any pictures with a light source shining on it. So I looked at the site known for selling the front-facing cameras, and sure enough, they have the camera glass as well:

http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-S-i9000-Camera-Lens-p/smsng6087120.htm

Unfortunately, they've also got a min quantity of 5, and more shipping than is strictly necessary, turning my $3 part into a $30 part. So, long story short, I've got 3 extra camera lenses (I'm keeping an extra one, just in case). Anyone want them? I'm thinking $7 a piece shipped in a normal envelope would work. PM if interested. All sold. Feel free to post here if you do a min buy and need to sell extras

For posterity, here's how to do it (though it's pretty obvious once you try):

1. Open the back according to the instructions in the hardware GPS fix thread (you may want to do the GPS fix at the same time, if you haven't already). I found it easiest to start prying the back off from the bottom of the side with the power button, and then work around the bottom to the other side, and the up.

2. Looking at the inside of the back piece, remove the black sticker from around the camera glass bezel's feet. See picture 2.

3. Pry up the 3 metal feet of the camera glass bezel so that they stand as straight up as you can get them. See picture 3.

4. Flip the back piece over so that you can see the bezel, and pop it off. Underneath where it was, the glass is adhered to the back. Gently but firmly pry it off. See picture 4.

5. Replace the glass, stick the bezel back on, flip it over and bend out the bezel feet again, put the sticker back on, and reassemble the phone.

Easy.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junglizste:
I had a very messed up camera lens. Bought a phone from ebay with an unusably scratched camera lens. Used a nail buffer. it took a lot of elbow grease and I rounded it off a bit, but the camera doesn't seem to be distorted and now work perfectly.

used one like this:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0PAX4CKESB6JYP1QTJEP

first you start with the coarse side. you have to work at it for a while. there will be a shrinking circle in the middle of the lens that buffer can't get to at first. you have to work at it for like 10 min to resurface the entire area. Once you've roughed up the whole lens move on to the next finer side... work all 4 sides for about 5 min each, or so... and you should be good.

wet sanding would probably work better... but this is a pretty damn good fix using something you probably already have laying around the house.
