Just flashed back to this ROM. No matter what other ROMs I end up trying, I always end up coming back to this one. Great ROM! I wish it was still being updated. But I'm not really sure what could be made better.
[G1 Android Development] ZaneChua:
Does anyone find that the in-call volume is really soft?
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
For me, since I've always had problems with sdext on this rom, it would be fine if I could it get to run without sdext.

Maybe I could do that on my own by editing vold.fstab and delete the line:

"ext_mount sdcard /sd-ext 2 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc1"

In first it seemed to work, but when trying to install/restore apps with titanium I get FCs.

Anybody a clue what else has do be done to avoid using sdext?
[G1 Android Development] mjsell2:
If you're looking to avoid apps to sd-ext I would use CM6 and if you need more room, just use the apps 2 sd-fat. It still uses internal memory. I am sure I speak for others when I say the apps to sd-fat is not really worth it for G1 users due to symbolic links take up about 1/3 of the space of the full app, so you end up with only being able to add 3 or 4 additional apps instead of 100+.
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
I've been trying CM6, but I want to use Laszlos.

So far all my apps (~25) could be installed to internal memory.

I remove sys apps that I don't via adb.

For me I experienced that Laszlos rom is quite perfect (speed, battery life) with farmatitos kernel installed.

I've only issues with sdext (tried several sdcards) so i wanted to customize this rom in that way, that it doesn't need ext partition any more.
[G1 Android Development] Neitmrh15:
Seems fine to me, I just made a couple calls yesterday and they were quite clear.
[G1 Android Development] d12unk13astard:
I've had nothing but great results with this rom, a couple reboots here n there. But thats cuz i overclock and am a power user like crazy.
[G1 Android Development] Effdee:
read the build.prop

assume

1 = yes

0 = no
[G1 Android Development] anatole78:
can't boot...
[G1 Android Development] Maxamillion:
How exactly did u flash this rom?

did u wipe?
[G1 Android Development] Effdee:
seems you also lack reporting skills.

I'm going to assume you lack reading skills as well

this may are may not help you

tell us if you meet those requirements

if you do then provide a logcat

or at least tell us how far you get

carrier splash?

boot animation?
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
If your SD card doesn't have an ext4 partition you won't be able to boot either. (FAT32, EXT4, SWAP if you want - layed down in that order)
[G1 Android Development] insanedrunk:
You mean in the line

ro.vold.sdextonboot=1

I am going to set it to 0 and report it later on after testing...

Update1, looks like its working, nothing has moved to sd-ext so far.
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
I managed to get Laszlos rom running without an ext partition on sd-card.

Removed some more apps so they don't have to be deinstalled afterwards.

Now I think I've found my perfect rom together with farmatitos kernel.

@Effdee: Thanks for the hint with the build.prop:D

These are the changes:

1)

Removed directory "sdcard" and changed \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script accordingly

2)

Customized \system\build.prop to my needs:

ro.compcache.default=0

ro.vold.sdextonboot=0

3)

Edited \system\etc\vold.fstab

#ext_mount sdcard /sd-ext 2 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc1

4)

Delete apps in /system/app

- Browser.apk

- GenieWidget.apk

- GoogleBackupTransport.apk

- GoogleFeedback.apk

- GooglePartnerSetup.apk

- LiveWallpapersPicker.apk

- OneTimeInitializer.apk

- Protips.apk

- Talk.apk

- VoiceDialer.apk

Here's the rom without ext:

I wanted to say that this is still Laszlo's rom, one of the best you can get for our devices!!!:D

I want to install DSP manager on this rom

Can I? Please help me!
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Right now, link is saying unavailable...I'll try again later. Thanks for doing that though. I strip all those apps out too, along with others. Really makes a difference. Have you found an improvement in battery life without the sd-ext?

Edit: Downloading now. Thanks! Will try later and see what it does with battery. On standby barebones Laszlo (extra apps removed) with Farmatito kernel burns about 3% an hour on standby with no wifi, gps or bluetooth. Barebones CM6.1 with same kernel only uses about 1%. Laszlo is a little faster though. I always wondered if apps to ext had something to do with the extra battery drain.
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Have you tried Louder Volume Hack from the market? I haven't tried it with this ROM, but don't see why it wouldn't work. I it was originally developed by Meltus for the G1. DSP Manager is a modified version for newer phones.

Can someone help me. I do not understand this sentence :confused:. What is pacman?

Also only the statusbar changes if I apply a theme. Any hints here?
[G1 Android Development] zortmo:
Got this rom functional this morning....so far so good.

Is it recommended to run a task killer on this rom? (Advanced Task Killer Froyo)

Or, is it better to use something like Titanium Backup and just remove all that I don't use?

Thanks much,

Mike
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
For me there is a drop of <1% per hour in standby.

The battery charge decrease is not linear.

Over night or in times I dont't use the phone at all for let's say 5 hours there is a maximum of 2-3% loss.

I'm currently using a 2GB class 2 sd card all formated with fat32 (no swap, no ext).

Jit is on, CC is off.

I turn off wifi, 2G/3G, sync., bluetooth, usb-debugging.

I switched from AutoMemoryManager back to AdvancedTaskKiller.

It is more lightweight concerning memory usage and (it seems) really kills tasks when screen is off.

Setcpu is set to 128/128 min/max when screen is off.

After I restored all my apps with TitaniumBackup I move all the apps installed to sd card to internal.

I'm currently using famatitos non-bfs kernel 0428.

With all that I get a battery life similar to BiffMod or EzTerry's AOSP froyo with the benefit of the speed of Laszlo's rom.

Since accessing the sd card (especially for writing) will always consume extra power since there are usually charge pumps (to increase the voltage) on the sd card electronic to move loads for programming flash cells. This is almost the same for all non volatile memories.

Faster sd cards mean higher clock rates which even increases the power comsumption.

From this point of view using swap with high swappiness would be the greatest battery burner.
[G1 Android Development] azrash:
imho, its better to remove unused apps with titanium, and im not using any task killer, froyo's built in auto-task killer is good enough for me. you might also wanna check autorun/autostart to check what apps that are running during boot, you can disable the not important ones or uninstall them :D

using a similar setup, but somehow i noticed that bfs kernel has better battery life for me, im using bfs 0425 together with farmatito's personal setting. somehow bfs 0428 uses more battery

good battery life so far :)

hey guys! i understand that the link is no longer working.. im not a dev and have nothing to do with the creation of this fantastic rom but i feel everyone should have the opportunity to flash it so im willing to send it to anyone via e-mail since we were asked not to post mirrors on this thread.. so if you need to get this rom e mail me ldrifta@gmail.com i will be more than happy to sent you the file.. i hope the dev notices his link is no longer working soon so this wont be an issue but still i give thanks to the creators and all who helped make this rom possible! been flashing this for months now and no complaints at all... also i recomend flashing a kernel for extra mb! super bonus haha

After using this rom for awhile, i am really liking it however i just flashed the latest kernel and it seems that my phone is "dying." Screen goes black and never comes on again. I was fine with a previous kernel however, i'm not sure it's a kernel issue. Time to back up stuff and redo everything again. -sighs-
[G1 Android Development] azrash:
which kernel was this? if its a kernel issue, you dont have to redo everything, all you need to is go to recovery and flash the appropriate kernel. you can use ezterry's kernel for froyo here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11565574&postcount=670, or use farmatito's froyo kernel at my signature (use the standard no bfs version)

it's a shame you can't fix the mic problem, the rom runs great apart from that.

Any help ???
[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
Just download Gmail from the market.
[G1 Android Development] Pedunie:
Well, after testing this rom, I have to say that I think it's the fastest rom I have ever tested. Unfortunatelly, the mic is not working, as they have reported before, which made me flash Ginger Yoshi and not continue with this, but it's not the same feeling, as this roms was so smooth, fast, and reliable.

I think that if you solve the BIG problem of the mic, this would become to be the best rom for my magic.

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
So you can make a call using whichever other Rom available and not with this one and it's a fault of our phones? That's rather special.
[G1 Android Development] NLJ:
@Pfeffernuss

No. It just means that it's next to impossible to debug this kind of errors when you don't have phone at hand.

It's like I ask you to fix my linux box cause it's screwed since I installed kernel compiled by you. It worked perfectly ok with kernels compiled by others but not yours.

(and in mic problems worst part is that there is no logcat that would show what's up)

Having said that I checked one thing and *maybe* nailed this bug.

Please push attached file to /system/etc/init.d/02audio_profile. Reboot and see if that helps

adb remount
adb push 02audio_profile.txt /system/etc/init.d/02audio_profile
adb shell chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d/02audio_profile
[G1 Android Development] pl_laszlo:
Everything looks fine, can You check your mic with pershoots kernel?
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
And how do you debug such situations if you have a device in your hands? I ask because you could connect your ADB to someone's Sapphire through the internet and do what you want :-)
[G1 Android Development] NLJ:
TBH I've no idea =o( dmesg?
[G1 Android Development] :
Firstly thanks Lazslo for the rom, very nice work :) Only real issue was Dalvik Cache not on sd but easily sorted with firerats all in one script.

But as always with me i'm never happy :D so I'm testing this and with a few tweaks and fiddles here and there and a few modded .apks and opengles upgraded, also using some programs to set it up (Minfree, Advanced Task Manager Froyo) and I've found the sweet spot for this rom for me at least (I'm a VERY heavy user apps, widgets and screen space wise). Running average 25+mb free.

Will post my updates and extra's if anyone is interested and also my setup but so far so good, lets see how it holds up over 24 hours.
[G1 Android Development] puppetcarl:
always look forward to your tweaks.

if i could get froyo parts to work on this it would be a much better rom
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
WORKS!!!

Did a complete wipe, installed the base Rom and immediately flashed Pershoots laters Kernel (as I knew it wouldn't work in a vanilla-state anyway). Reboot, volume null, disappointed yet again.

Pushed your file, reboot, made a call... All is fine! Very happy camper now! And luckily the fix was this "easy" as well!

THANKS! :D

Moving from CM6 to this ROM

Hi All,

I wanted to pass my thanks to laszlo as well for this excellent ROM. My G1 now performs like it used to back in 1.6 days.

I was on CM6, with older radio and hboot. I was using apps2ext. My steps were:

* titanium backup of everything

* Boot into bootloader, and enter fastboot.

- from PC install radio, and hboot.

* Boot into recovery.

- wipe sd-ext, and data

* Install this ROM via zip file.

- boot, login to google.

* Install apkinstaller and titanium backup from market.

* Restore all data and apps with titanium backup.

The phone has been very snappy, and I've used multiple widgets and background services. The new font looks great. There's missing monospace font so terminal behaves a little wierdly, but works fine.

I'm hoping battery life is good too.. this will make this the perfect ROM. Given that Froyo is pretty much the last version G1 could ever support, it makese sense to move to this ROM from CM6 because this is just so much faster. Really.
[G1 Android Development] Pedunie:
Hi:

So, first of all I have to put the txt file in /system/etc/init.d/02audio_profile with root exporer for example, and after that I have to enter in fastboot, and type the "code" sentences your wrote, right???

Sorry for my lack of knowledge, but this is the best rom I have tested, and if I can tackle this problem, it's finally a rom to have in my magic.

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
No, either copy the file using RootExplorer as you mentioned, OR push the file the way it was mentioned in the post above (I did it while phone was running, not in Fastboot-mode)...

The code sentences do the same thing as copying it manually using RootExplorer... Do reboot afterwards, which ever method you use.
[G1 Android Development] NLJ:
Please note that this rom uses Firerat & mine so called Magpie framework (native apps2sdext). Dalvik cache on internal was used only by system apps and apps installed in internal memory. Apps installed on /sd-ext/ have their dalvik files on sd-ext.

You might get some troubles when moving apps.

Glad I could help tho file is not mine. It's from CM source repos (and I've no idea who created it).

Well even with stock donut I think the battery life was terrible OEM battery barely takes half an hour to go from 99% to 80%, getting a new battery, 2200mah, should be better, unless it's my G1, then I am screwed.

and there is an argument about this as well, im not sure where i have read, but i read a post that says installing apps to sd(not sd-ext) is encrypted, thus it needs a bit more time to decrypt the file. im not sure how far does this bogs down the phone, should be very minimal. but just a heads up :)

its fast as hell, but phone.apk not stays in memory, if i let him sleep for an hour

i tried also with:

cc at 18%

jit on

keep everything in mem

with this setting the phone.apk stays in mem, but i got better battery life with no cc and no jit (2 days)
