This rom is better now that I have flashed the calibrate battery.zip that was posted on xda portal. It seems to have actually worked better then doing so thru recovery, also farmaniitos 26.35.12 kernel seems to work the best for me anyway after having a day and a half battery use. Plenty of texting,calls,gameplaying,bluetooth use etc still have 15%. Happy cuz this rom really does blow every other froyo rom out the game,wayyy fast,best performance. This will be my daily rom until I get a g2x or pyramid :D
[G1 Android Development] FlyingShrapnel:
Hi, I was wondering if I flashed this ROM, could i get past the activation wizard using Wifi because I dont have a mobile data plan at the moment :(
[G1 Android Development] creezalird:
yes u can :)
[G1 Android Development] jr10000:
YES the issue is people not being able to hear me!!!! tried flashing many times and still same problem.. they can only hear me with the mic and headphones in x)

Okay thanks for the quick reply :) The rom is very slick indeed compared to Sparks/yoshua's
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Still hoping for some Dutch locale goodness ;)
[G1 Android Development] Pedunie:
Also please Spanish languaje, as I am using Morelocale2, but some words are still in English.

Great rom, great response and good fast feeling in my hands. I will continue testing, but the first impression in so so nice.

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] gaz617:
This realy is one of the best roms ive tried, fast and smooth out the box. Truly good work laszlo! Thanks for giving our ageing phones life again!
[G1 Android Development] pl_laszlo:
Ok, Spanish, Italian .. but the Dutch? How to write a linux environment? nl_WHAT? nl_NL?
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Wouldn't that be du_NL?
[G1 Android Development] csteeg:
No, it's NL_NL indeed! (Or NL_BE for the dutch belgium)

I'd like NL also!
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Okay thanks for the update! Will from on be pressing F5 like a maniac. No hurry though ;)
[G1 Android Development] lookasspl:
Impressive!

Wow! I have used so many different roms on my g1, but this build is the best so far. Very snappy!

I replaced LauncherPro with Zeam and got even better performance.

Wielkie dzięki Laszlo ;)

Relax dude ;D i'll ad your locale ;D

Did you try stock cm6 settings app?
[G1 Android Development] :
No I didn't, will pull it now and test :D

Works like a charm, thanks. Anyone else doing this be aware that the Extra's option is replaced by the old CM Settings.
[G1 Android Development] salazar1979:
Is it just me or is anybody else getting battery drain,roms really fast,its great,wondering if I should reflash though.battery from 64% to 25% in 42min. All options are untouched from flash with 25% screen brightness
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Gotta say that using the recent version of this Rom I also have the issue of other people not hearing me at all. I think that's a bit more important than a Dutch locale ;)

Don't know what the problem was. Wasn't a case of low volume or something, it's a complete lack of any sound whatsoever. Had to go back to another Rom. Being able to make calls is pretty crucial on a phone :D
[G1 Android Development] jontexxx:
mic problem

my mic doesnt seem to be working with this rom! it doesn't work during calls nor when i try to record something using apps. does anyone else have the same problem?
[G1 Android Development] pl_laszlo:
I have no idea how to fix mic on mt3g, I also have no idea what is causing that. Everything looks fine, acoustics files are loaded.
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Had some other issues as well which don't occur on other Froyo Roms like some FC'ing apps (Buienradar, Albert Heijn (Dutch apps)) and even an app (PocketCloud) which wouldn't "remain" installed after a reboot. Install: fine, shortcut on homescreen: fine. Reboot: homescreen icon invalid, app not in the app drawer anymore, visibly "gone". Very odd.

As all these apps run fine on my currently installed Froyo Rom (Yoshi's) this amazed me quit a bit. And yes, I ofcourse Superwiped and did nothing strange, etc. Didn't feel like bringing these up as usually (meaning to be constructive) critisisms aren't very welcome on these forums (note: not talking about you...).

I really hope that these issues (especially the lack of being able to speak) will be solved as otherwise I found it to be the nicest Rom so far. I was very very annoyed this afternoon that after setting it all up and having all apps and stuff the way I liked it I was ready to make a Nandroid and someone called me and all I could hear was "hello? hello???" ;)
[G1 Android Development] FlyingShrapnel:
cheers. also, is using other kernels such as 2.6.35.11 recommended with this ROM or does it already come with the RAM hack ones?
[G1 Android Development] creezalird:
RAM hack is already included if u've already had the radio/spl 1.33.0013d like in my signature..

Kernels has nothing to do with RAM hack. But most of times it affects your battery life. So far, the last 5.2 comes with 2.6.24.8 if I'm not mistaken. Of course u could flash over other kernels
[G1 Android Development] DorianX:
Can you link the battery.zip I've never heard this, and thing you are talkin about farmatito kernel
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Busybox was no longer functional for me using Farmatito's 23.35.11 kernel for Froyo
[G1 Android Development] FlyingShrapnel:
If I had good battery life with a kernel (2.6.35.11 iirc) with a different ROM, does that guarantee good battery life with this ROM as well?
[G1 Android Development] farmatito:
This was probably due to squashfs support not being built in kernel. Should be fixed in latest.
[G1 Android Development] vohuu:
has ever been v5.3? :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Sure here you go, really easy to do!

http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...asy-way-with-battery-calibration-for-android/

I used farms latest 04072011 kernel for my g1 btw.
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Hey! Thanks for the input; I appreciate your time. I am fixing to give the new 040911 autogroup kernel a go.

EDIT: So far, Farmatito's 040911 autogroup kernel is a winner! Battery life seems good, it's snappy, metamorph/busybox work very well and no touchscreen issues. I'll have a more definitive word on the battery life tomorrow. Good job and thanks for trying to solve the old USB bug problem!

See thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1010932 I used "Latest Kernel with autogroup patch (tested on G1 32b)".

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] DorianX:
Just flash on top, you dont need wipe

Thank you very much! :D. Im flashed! And im testing...
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Uh oh...I'm afraid I may have spoken too soon. Running Froyo by Lazlo and autogroup 20110409, I'm draining pretty fast. 15% in less than 2 hours this morning on standby. 2G only, no wifi, GPS or bluetooth and only GMail updating.
[G1 Android Development] vohuu:
Im flashed :confused::confused::confused::confused:
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Not a big deal. See how it works for you. If the kernel is causing your battery to drain faster than expected, flash a different kernel. Ezterry's 2708 kernels are excellent. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9057973&posted=1#post9057973
[G1 Android Development] d12unk13astard:
try the BFS 20110411 release im having excellent battery life and no drain on my 32b
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
I'll try it. Just ran same test with Orig Ezterry Biff 2708 2.6.34.7 kernel and lost <5% in 2 hours on standby vs 15%.

^can't go wrong with that 1 either :D

im just gonna up and say it.... i think its the new radios that are causing the battery drain...some plx test it.. :O

http://www.amazon.com/Battery-1400m...LEPQ/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1302656768&sr=8-6
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
I've been wondering that a bit too. There are two new radios "out there" for Dream/Sapphire: 2.22.27.08 and 2.22.28.25. I've read recently that the 2.22.27.08 would be better for those in the United States and 2.22.28.25 for those in other countries. I'm not clear on the explanation of why, but battery life was part of it.

I've been playing around with settings, launchers, kernels and keyboards to improve my available memory and battery life. This week I swapped to 2.22.27.08 and I'm using Ezterry's older 2708 kernel right now. I've been off charger for 3.5 hours and my battery is at 97%.
[G1 Android Development] kanek06:
Can you post the link? By the way, I have flashed kernel already - how should I change my kernel? Normal flash?
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
What? If u already flashed the kernel u already changed it. I'm confused
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Do you mean to the Ezterry kernel? Right now, I'm using ezBiffTestKernel20101106-2708_S.zip.

Restart to recovery, nandroid, wipe cache and dalvik-cache and flash new kernel.
[G1 Android Development] InquisitiveG:
Don't have data to back it up, buttttt

I think it a both radio and rom. I am currently using 27.08 radio seems slightly better than 28.25 radio, but still voice calls drain about 1%/min+- and I use my phone - 30 to 90 min/day. When not on the phone fbl drains about 4%/hour.

I contrast this with my wife's phone (froyo for trout 1.6) and she make more calls than I do and hers lasts almost 2 days. Tried updating her to f4t 1.8.2 but moved her back because of battery drain.

I've tried various kernels with no real difference on battery drain. I did get better battery with ginger and no gapps, but other issues there.

When look in battery history in parts - big cpu use is "suspend"

Hope this helps someone narrow it down. I still use fbl in spite of battery drain because of speed & features.
[G1 Android Development] kanek06:
Ummm, I have BiffTestKernel flashed and I want to flash new kernel, what should I do? (I think you didn't understood me)
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Sorry...typed wrong word.

Restart to recovery, nandroid, wipe cache and dalvik-cache and flash new KERNEL.
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Just tried this rom finally after getting it to boot with correct kernel. Anyways, great job. Nice rom.
[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
Wow. Have you noticed any difference in reception when you switched? I just used the 2.22.28.25 radio because I heard that it gives you better reception. I think I might switch to 2.22.27.08 now, since my battery life hasn't been the greatest.
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
I've found no difference in reception with the 2.22.27.08 radio in my area. I live in a medium sized town with decent cell reception.

Other things I did that helped with battery life and available memory:

1) Zeam Launcher - works well and freed up a few MB of memory. Only thing I miss is being able to edit the desk icons, but I could live with that. (downloaded from Market and used Titanium Backup to remove old launcher)

2) Auto Memory Manager (from Market) - has helped both with memory and battery life. I'm using a modified version of aggressive settings recommended by TShelley at BiffMod: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8511462&postcount=1976

3) No compcache or swap - easier on battery and I've noticed no difference in performance

4) Uninstalled cache cleaner and SetCPU. Used the CPU Settings that is in Extras/Performance Settings. (got a few more MB of memory there)

5) Using Stock Android 2.21 keyboard - I love Swift keyboard, but it takes a chunk of memory, as do Better, Thumb, Swype, Gingerbread and DroidX

keyboards.

6) Using Ezterry 2708 kernel - easier on the battery. Been testing Farmatito kernels too, but they are still harder on battery at this point

7) Moved my ringtones internal

8) Using Phone Prioritizer script that also cleans cache on reboot. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=558822

9) Deleted Voice Search, Voice Call apps using Titanium.

10) Deleted Google Search bar using Titanium

11) Deleted stock Browser and using Dolphin Mini from Market. It's snappier and lightweight.

With all that going, I consistently have 24MB of free memory using either Laszlo or BiffMod roms.
[G1 Android Development] ZaneChua:
Hey sister, Which ROM is your daily use rom? Biff or this one? I'm not sure if i should switch from biff.
[G1 Android Development] d12unk13astard:
F4L is the fastest most stable rom ive ever used. Not 1 FC no CC no swap, 48mb vm heap(roottools) amywhere from 28-40 mb free memory on agressive settings(auto memory manager) radio 2708 farmito's 20110411 kernel :D

I'm gonna go ahead and agree with a members post a few pages back that the new radios drain battery faster period. It is still worth it tho with the added extra ram, but i defiently had better batery life on the 2.22.23.02 and 261 radios. Still tho, a day and a halfs(on a good light use) is very nice with this rom.
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Oh gosh...can't I have both?? They are both excellent and I so appreciate all the work done on both. I've been going back and forth. Right now, I'm am using Laszlo as my daily with the modifications I posted above.

Below is my personal opinion of each based on my preferences and how I use my phone. Everyone is different. I will say upfront, I'm a minimalist user. I don't game, etc. I just want it fast, stable and enough battery to make a full day without charging.

BIFFMOD

PROS: Excellent. Stable and worthy as daily. Gapps are separate so can be updated as times change. Nice stock 2708 kernel. Good battery life out of the box. Forgiving when it comes to installing and modifying.

CONS: Apps and ringtones need to be trimmed down to achieve the speed of Laszlo. Market tends to be cranky with wifi. Phone lags between ring and screen. Occasional problem with media not being added. CM Settings SetCPU doesn't "stick" - has to be redone with reboot.

LASZLO

PROS: Very fast out of the box. Stable and worthy as a daily. Lightweight, with most of the bloat removed.

CONS: Market doesn't always show updated apps (could be Market problem), CM XML notification theme chooser doesn't work. Stock kernel is hard on the battery. Stock unicode font with all the little boxes is annoying. Spare Parts integrated into Extras is cumbersome, but you can create a shortcut to CM Settings/Spare Parts. (The kernel and font thing are easily changed. I'm just comparing stock to stock here.)

Good luck on making the best choice for you. You can't go wrong either way.

Edit: Updated info 4/16/11.
[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
Based on your opinions of Biffmod and Laszlo, I might give Biffmod another go. I only have about 30 apps, so I don't think I'd have many problems with it. I'll try your recommended settings on Laszlo though.

And random question, is there any way that I can get the old market? I'm beginning to dislike the new one because its kinda slow.
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
I'm back on Biffmod right now too (I told you I go back and forth!), checking my memory footprint with my personal settings. As for the market. I don't know, but I doubt it since the market auto updates.
[G1 Android Development] ZaneChua:
Guess i should use Laszlo's rom. I just need it to be fast, text messaging and calls working. Market doesnt matter. :)
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
Have you ever tried Ezterry's froyo (see my sig)?

I flashed farmatitos kernel 20110407 (without bfs) and having a very fast rom and a (so far) very good battery life. Fully charged battery and still 100% after 6,5h standby over night.

Using the phone (light use, some calls, some sms, syncing account, surfing, sometimes a little angry birds:)) for 2 days (49h) and still 47%.

Just going to flash farmatitos latest now (with bfs) and try it.
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Sure have and it's nice. My only hang with it is that it is more difficult to theme since it is an odexed ROM. I'm back to Laszlo again. Having trouble with my ringtones on BiffMod.
[G1 Android Development] surfwaimea:
I'm running Laszlo 5.2 on a 32A Magic and I wish to reduce the lag when starting apps (installed into internal memory). Changing launcher (LP, Zeam) or settings (swap, CC) didn't get any benefit :(

What do you suggest me to work on?
[G1 Android Development] ms1995:
I have to say its a terrible rom and I NEVER HAD MY G1 BOOTED WITH IT.

----------------------------

Sorry for my rudeness but I was really despaired by the rom last night.

I've already updated to the recommended SPL and Radio. For wiping, of course.

It was the first rom that I failed in flashing.

Now by modifying some files I could go see its boot animation though system is still unconscious.

I'll do more tests today.
[G1 Android Development] mikshepard:
Yes, just pull it from a older gapps.zip or download it from here, push it via adb (make sure to "chmod 644 Vending.apk" after), then delete the Market-Updater.apk app in /system/app/ to keep market from auto updating, and clear your market cache and data, then launch it.

Hope that helps,

-Mike
[G1 Android Development] DorianX:
What are you talkin about? It's the best froyo rom ever, very fast and stable... the only issue it's the battery drain bug but flashing another kernel like: farmatito, ezterry, pershoot it's ok. Do you have the correct spl and radio? do you wipe everything?
[G1 Android Development] metalfangs:
I'm currently using farmatitos kernel and I honestly haven't seen any significant improvements as far as battery life goes. In my experience it's definitely a matter of usage. I get a good full day from a full charge regardless of kernel choice.
[G1 Android Development] farmatito:
My kernel of course will not do miracles at your phone,

it simply will:

1) fix battery drain after an adb session that could drain a battery in less than an hour

2) fix battery drain if rebooting with usb connected (3-4% drain per hr while phone is idle)

A normal battery drain while the phone is idle with gps, bluetooth, wifi, data and sync turned off for me is at about

or less 1% per hr (with a 2400mah battery).
[G1 Android Development] metalfangs:
I am aware of this and I appologize for being misunderstanding. What I am trying to say is usb drain aside, kernel choice shouldn't effect your battery life.
[G1 Android Development] Chocolate Columbo:
I'm no expert but you sound like someone who hasn't well considered where problems could go wrong, or paid enough attention to the requirements of the ROM, compared to that of your G1.

Can I just ask how you manage to pass judgement of every element of the ROM, even though you have never been able to boot it? And why instead of asking for help you're labeling it? If you would like the problem solved, please post further details so someone might be able to help you.
[G1 Android Development] mzmo:
Words in the dictionary cant even explain how stable & stupendously fast this Froyo rom is.

Laszlo, i gotta say it. I love you. You did a mad job on this one! Beyond Awesomeness!
[G1 Android Development] DorianX:
I'm 100% agree with you this froyo rom it's simply awesome, other froyo roms are only a themed cyanogedmod 6.1 but this one it's compiled from source it's real development thing (excepting biffmod (I think))
[G1 Android Development] mzmo:
And ezTerry's ASOP Froyo rom. Its pretty stable & fast, but loses its "quickness" after a while, its still a pretty awesome rom.

Just one question, does anyone get those little rectangular boxes when a name or a sentence is too long? (see attached pictures below)
[G1 Android Development] creezalird:
the rectangle issue is just the font..read the 1st post properly..

using "addons" command in terminal..u can replace the font back with stock font
[G1 Android Development] bitjeklein:
Rest You can download via Pacman at device configuration

Hi,

Thanks for this magnificent ROM

How do I download the rest of the google apps?

What do you mean with "Rest You can download via Pacman at device configuration"

What is pacman, and what is 'device configuration'?

Thanks!!
[G1 Android Development] mzmo:
Oh I misread the font part. Thanks
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
I'm pleased to say the latest auto-boot-2.6.35.12-farmatito-pershoot-ds+-20110415.zip kernel is running very nice for me since yesterday. Overnight, dropped just under 1% an hour on standby. No stutter on dropdown or screen changes.
[G1 Android Development] DorianX:
Just download from market
[G1 Android Development] DorianX:
I'm testing this one too and I'm surprised, I flashed last night and still on 100% at 10a.m. :eek:
[G1 Android Development] ZaneChua:
Anyone know the specific Font?
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
You mean of the stock Android font? It is called Droid. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droid_(font)

The one that comes with Laszlo is from Ubuntu Font Family. It's a unicode Linux font which is why you get the little boxes with unrecognized characters sometimes.

Oops...hit thanks when I meant Quote. Oh well...can't be too thankful but you can certainly say too much!

LOVE IT

This is BY FAR the BEST ROM I've EVER used on my MyTouch 3G! I installed it yesterday, and it's still amazingly fast! It's faster then my friend's DROID X!

Only problem is that I keep getting the "SD Card Damaged" error, and I can't get it to go away. My SD Card works perfectly too. It's a 4GB Class 4 SD Card.
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
I had the same problem with a Kingston 4GB Class 4 sd card.

This sd card works well on any other device (Tattoo, digicam, Nokia2710,...).

With other cards (Sandisk 2GB Class 2, Trancendent 4GB Class 6) there's no problem.
[G1 Android Development] CaptainShanks:
Hooray! It's not just me!

This is literally the only rom that this message appears, no matter how many times I format and check the card, turning up nothing on any OS (Linux, Windows, or other Android roms).

It's mind-boggling o_O
[G1 Android Development] lacus88:
Do you people have a properly created ext4 partition? (I mean 4, not 2 or 3)

Caz it is a requirement. The Rom automatically use it, no matter what.
[G1 Android Development] Effdee:
there is no good reason why ext4 should be a requirement

ext4 vs ext3

extents are no advantage, mapping 128mb contiguous space is a waste of time for two reasons

file sizes are not very likely to approach that

the underlying logic of the nand will be spreading that out anyway !

Also a journal is just going to add overhead (both space and i/o speed), ext2 will be faster

or ext3/ext4 without journal

although a journal may be an advantage if you are putting /data/data on to sd-ext as it will limit the chances of corruption if you have sudden powerloss.
