I wonder how many impatient yet curious people out there, who is going to go back to RC33, just to try out the cupcake and go back to having root again. I don't see myself missing any features from the update. perhaps more lacking than anything else if I choose the by the book upgrade method. I have never used the myfav app. Maybe I would welcome the IM app more so than anything. I would love to see the H build camera appear on the next root cupcake build.

I'm just sad that it won't have Flash. After the video demoing a full version of Flash on a G1 a while back, and the rumors that it'd be ready w/ Cupcake, I'm disappointed that we still have to wait. OTOH, it means we still won't be subjected to annoying Flash ads. *shrug*

And if you look close at that video, the parts that actually had motion to it were incredibly laggy.
Adobe can't even get flash on Linux to work smoothly, I don't think they are interested in making it smooth for the G1.
Heck, they are so inept they are outsourcing the development of their own product to a third party.
Flash could have been a great product, but Adobe has ran it into the ground since the '05 acquisition of Macromedia.

I was running JF's ADP1.5 and I got a system update message from Google... I thought it was kind of weird. Has anyone had that happen?

why go back to rc33 when we can go to JF1.5,Dude1.1a or Haykuro?

Well i personally went back to rc33 because it seems to run better to me, also to get protected apps back. They would install on JF 1.50 but not work it would just force close on me. They worked fine on dude's build but its too unstable for my taste. I also use open home and its not ready for cupcake yet so back I go. Im gonna use rc version of cupcake anyways so might as well go back now. Cupcake doesn't really offer me anything i need.

aHome has a cupcake version (search for it) and it's free. I'm running a bunch of signed/protected apps without any issues.

From what I can remember now, two of them are nba gametime and RepliGo Reader.

i'm on dude 1.1a and have no problems. i have ahome and open home running with no problems. protected apps have no problems (call faker, spades, decibel, etc.) nothing has forced closed on me. and have everything running off sd card

Advanced Task Manager works with JF1.5 ADP, and Bratag has a Cupcake version of SnapPhoto Pro available to customers who paid for the RC33 version.

I've been running the Dude's build and I have no problems with protected apps.
One or two had to be uninstalled and re-installed... But, they worked just fine.
Stability? I haven't had any problems!!! with the ROM.
There were one or two apps that had compatibility problems... But, I contacted the devs and they fixed them.
I can't figure out why so many people have so many problems!! I'm just guessing they aren't following all of the instructions at the beginning.
I will say that when going to the versions with the new unionfs system for apps2sd I would recommend copying the app and app-private files, wiping everything else from the ext2 partition and replacing them prior to moving to the newest versions... But, that was the only "difficult" thing about it. Then everything works great!

MT3G and Hero I NEED SOME HELP PLEASE!!

OK, i know im prob going to be it with allot of search answers and what not but i searched and i cant find the answer i need.
So i have a mt3g and it is rooted, cyan recovery, stock radio and stock spl. I have the ability to flash what ever rom i want, every time i do it works fine to install it. I normally run Cyan and the m_blend theme, how ever recently i have been trying out different hero roms. As it turns out i really like these roms and what they have to offer, however the only one i can get running smoothly is a jac heroski rom that apparently is out dated. Every time i flash to something newer it flashes fine and for the most part every thing work, how ever when i hit home i just get a loadin screen for at least 30 sec... now when i search this it says to make changed to my partitions on my sd card, but i am NOT running a partitioned sd card. Is that the problem? i thought that was only necessary for space on the G1? Any ways i guess what im asking is why does every one say to flash your spl or the rom wont install but it does fine? and why is it run fast except to home screen??

yes it's the problem. partition your sd with at least 96mb of linux swap. it has the same ram as the G1. Also, post this in general next time.

cool, thanx for the answer, how do i set that up? i searched for linx swap and came up with nothing?

Hi.
If you try Amon_RA recovery so you can do it from ther.
I would say that Amon_RA recovery is the best tool for flashing Rom`s.
If you have root and a terminal on your phone takes you to 2min after you've added recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img on your sdcarde.
go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492

actually he has the mt3g, so he needs the 1.5.2G, not the H recovery.

make sure you back up your sdcard, though. its gonna erase everything on it to format it. (that caught me off guard, before. )

Thanks you guys rock... Now im looking for a good hero rom with all the working parts

i wouldn't go for a hero rom, personally. from what i hear they're unrelliable and slow. try cyanogens or dwangs. i say dwangs; i used it since 1.12 and only problem EVER was the random reboots which are now fixed.

You heard wrong. Plenty of these roms that these devs have worked on are quite reliable and more than ready for everyday use. The only problem that I partially agree with you on is the speed. I wouldn't say it's slow. They are not as fast as Cyanogen or another stock rom, but it's not to a point where it's unbearable or you can't live with it. Some are actually pretty snappy if you have your phone set up right, you just gotta know how to tweak it for your phone.

Exactly what he said....I will just add my two cents, as i have been in your shoes before. I have tried alot of ROMS and my favorite Hero(actually magic sense) rom is Trojan Hero (by Eugene373). everyone has thier own opinion just letting you know if you havn't tried it.
Use Swapper to change your swapper settings and tweak them to your phone. my settings are as follows 128mb swap and 80 swappiness
And one MAJOR POINT i can't stress enough which i noticed a big difference was the memory card. it's a known to have a class 6 sd card but for new people we never really know.
Once i changed it it gave me a big boost.
hope that helps

[Q] Planning a ROM change - need advice

Hi,
I am currently running CM6-RC3 on my G1. I am fed up with the slowness of the phone and I want to go to a fast OS, though I am spoilt rotten by some of the Froyo features. However, I think a fast ROM is still my prio.
First step is to get a Class 6 card and I have ordered an 8gig one from ebay. Should get that in a couple of days.
The second step of course is the ROM itself. Currently I have shortlisted SuperD 1.11 and SuperFroyo 2.6 Lite based on the reviews that I have read on the forum.
Firstly, if anyone has used these two ROMs, or can give me a comparative opinion of these two, then it would make my choice all the more easy. Is the SuperD really that that fast as compared to SuperFroyo that I should willingly sacrifice some Froyo functionality?
Also, how do I flash either of the ROMs? As I said, I have CM6 and AmonRa 1.7.0 Recovery. Now SuperD goes on about installing a legal base ROM and DRC83 (which itself has some new and updated versions in many threads) and then installing SuperD 1.11 itself. But coming from CM, is that necessary, or is it dangerous, or in short what am I supposed to do?
Similarly, if I have to flash SuperFroyo, should I do any preparations or just wipe and flash from the recovery?
The tough thing is that CM is so so so well documented that the other ROMs seem stark compared to that. I already have bricked a phone during the JF ROM era, so I don't want to screw up the one which is currently working. Any sort of detailed help, or pointers to other thread would be most helpful. I have been searching the forum and have not found anything that clarifies my doubts.
TIA.

I'm interested in the answers to your questions too. I've tried to improve speed and responsiveness by using many of the tricks posted in various threads but for daily usage the lags and the battery life are still not acceptable for me (though I like many of the Froyo features).
Having said that - you might want to check out the last pages of this thread [FAST][STABLE]SpeedTeam Froyo [v3.1.1][OFFICIAL RELEASE][8/23/10]
XxKOLOHExX is developing a 1.6-ROM with as many Froyo-Features as possible while retaining the speed, responsivness and stability of Donut. I'm very much looking forward to that ROM.

the final cyanogenmod v6 is really fast and stable. ive been running it since it was uploaded and havent had any problem at all.. kinda weird lol im used to some kind of force close or reboots but so far this rom seems really stable, you should try it out.

You might want to figure out why cm6 is so slow for you. Its probably the user, not the rom. I'm not a cyan groupie but this is by far the fastest rom I've used...and I've tried A LOT of different roms.

Really?, and you using it on a G1? CM5 was quite fast until ADW crashed on me and I had to reflash - decided to flash CM6 at that time. What are your SD partitions, if any? I am running it plain with only one large FAT32 partition.

I am a heavy texter. On Hero ROMs, it takes about 500-600 text's to start FC's and loading screens. On Froyo, I don't know how, but it took 200-300...Im on Super E right now and I can say I'm pleased. I'm at 1,902 Texts right now and its running ill say 90% of how fast it was when I just flashed it.

Everyone has their personal preference with regard to swap or no swap, compcache, jit, etc. I have no clue what works best even on my own phone (mt3g). But to let you know, I have a 32 MB swap partition, 512 ext 3 or 4 (can't remember, I think its ext4) and the rest FAT32.

donut/1.6? super d
eclair/2.1? super e
froyo/2.2? super f (not completed yet)
theyre all based off CM

I felt the same way. I've went back to CM4 and CM5 trying to find the right balance. I am now back on CM6 latest and I think I may have found the key to making my phone perform well.
Swap. On a G1 with Froyo it seems that swap is a must. Once I enabled swap my market issues (would return to home at random, especially when searching) and other weird issues went away (shortcuts to URLs wouldn't open he URL but just my homepage). Try swap before you completely bail out of CM6. Even running swap on FAT showed a lot of improvement. I have noticed though that after a couple of days my phone starts acting funny so I turn swap off (swapoff command from terminal) and then back on and things clear up.
Of course this is all my common observation but I really think swap changed CM6 on my G1 from too slow for everyday use to the best ROM there is. I really think with the extra RAM needed for Froyo there just isn't enough left for simple apps (market, browser, etc) to function correctly.

Super D 1.11 (aka 1.10.4) is quality and I'm so happily suprised at how fast it is
I had forgotten what it was like to own a phone that just well worked without hassle of lose of functionality. As pretty as Eclair and Froyo are they simply can't match a good donut.
Give it a try and use the Setup Up Guide for Donut in my sig a look, it was designed around Super D

i just went to Super-E cause all of the froyos are too slow for my taste and all seem to be based on CM6 so what's the point? Plus one of my fav devs, Ben isnt working on SuperF atm so im kind of sad about that. His was my fav but its discontinued . The battery on it is good and speed, not as quick on its feet as donut but gets the job done, plus still has some newer features.

[CDMA] [ROM] HTC Desire Froyo 2.2 w/SenseUI (12 OCT 2010)

Not a fan of Sense, but it is at least bearable on HDPI devices. I used the official HTC RUU from the UK as a base, and now have a bootable, somewhat working Froyo ROM for the CDMA Desire.
It is by no means a daily ROM. I'm uploading here so we can get some testers and help from other developers. Since I'm usually occupied writing code for a living, any help is welcomed and appreciated.
What's working?
Audio, incoming/outgoing calls, SMS, data (works, but flaky), camera, GPS (needs more testing to really be given a thumbs up), backlight, vibration, live wallpapers
What's not working?
Wifi, BT, orientation, lights, MMS, and I'm sure much more.
What's included that isn't stock?
Busybox, DarkTremor apps2sd, root shell, deodexed
Currently, it's booting off of the stock 2.6.29 kernel and modules. I was able to get the 2.6.35 Cyanogen kernel to boot, but did not get all drivers/modules loading properly. I will be looking into that soon as well as possibly using the Incredible ROM as a base.
What can I do to help?
Download, test, tweak, get in touch with me. Twitter or PM on here will work. Pay attention to this thread, I will keep it updated. I look forward to your feedback.

good luck with everything i will give this a try once it becomes a little more stable. nice to see some cdma roms out here

I was correct in assuming we'd have success with the Droid Incredible build. Testing now and will tweak more tomorrow, stay tuned for updates.

Wonderful news!! I have been using the CM6 nightly on my Cell South with only a MMS bug but I will def rock out DPhase's ROM once it gets a little more stable. I am so excited to see a developer from Cell South! Can't wait to buy you a beer. I use my phone for work but I will flash this weekend to check it out and test for sure. I have a source that is putting the release of a OTA 2.2 on cell south to no earlier than the first quarter of '11 at best.

Have you had any issues with data on CM6?

I have been using CM6 as well on my cell south desire, I have not experienced any data issues. But it has only been a couple days since flash.

It seems a little slow but I think that is more Cell South than anything. I jump on wifi any chance I get. Still no MMS no matter what size file I try to send.

I would love to help with this... thank you for looking into it. Since it is not a "daily" rom, I really cannot run it too long until WiFi is fixed.
By lights is that the Message LED only correct? Or is it the Camera LED too?
Thanks again for starting this project! I would hope that you get the cyanogen kernel working, because I want the overclock

what can i do to help with this? i have a lot of time at work. but am far from a developer. CM6.1 is well on its way. id like to test for more devs. let me know what i can do. im flashing your rom now. then im going to try your MIUI

Ok great... I'll load this up sometime tomorrow. I am doing a battery test on my phone today to see how CM6 compares to the 2.1 stock sense rom.

I'm in
I'm onboard i've been running your 2.2 w/o sice all day it works great. There have been a few things and i am sure i will find more in the next few days. But so far so good i will write in that thread what i find.But i am also gonna give this a shot tonight so i will hit you back with what happens.

hell yeah
After just 20 minutes of using this it is the [email protected]#$ other than the things you mentioned it is running great keep it up.

i just installed this and have been playing with it for an hour,and OMFG it is so sweet,thank you so much for working on this ROM. i will post any bugs i come across and hope it help to build better sense UI froyo ROMS for the CDMA desire!
thank you again! loving this so much right now i feel like a kid on Christmas!

i have formatted and partitioned my sd card ,the first one is 6 gigs fat32 and the 2nd is 2 gigs ext2. i cant get the SD card to show up on the phone,says its unmounted??? is this a known bug or something new. or am i doing something wrong? i will try taking the partition out and leaving it as 8 gigs fat32, however i thought that for APPS2SD needed a ext2 partition?
EDIT.... i deleted the ext partition and left the sd card as a full 8 gigs (7.65 gigs) fat32 and now this rom will see the sd card,however it will not move apps to the sd card.....

I don't think you are supposed to have an EXT partition more than about 1GB. That might be part of your problem.

apps2sd will not work with fat32 partitions. You must have an ext partition, recreate but don't go over a gig.

Sorry Dphase I didn't get a chance to load it up today... I had alot on my plate today. I will give it a shot tomorrow night and probably through the weekend. How is the battery life on this compared to 2.1? I am getting double the battery life on 2.2 cyanogen for the BravoC than I did with the stock rom, so I am having trouble getting myself to switch at this point.

thank you, i will try to recreate a smaller partition now and try again.
EDIT.. I cleaned up the sd card and started from scratch, set my fat32,then created a 512mb in ext2,(1st partition is fat32,2nd is ext2) same problem. when i start the phone it says on the top of the screen "safe to remove SD card" message goes away,then i go to settings/SD card it says the card is unavailable.
but if i format the whole card as fat32 it will show up and work for everything BUT apps2sd. i know that i wont be able to move apps till i get a ext partition on the card, i just cant get the phone to see the sd card after i set it up.

A2SD Like Patch for CM9

First off, since I can't post in the DEV forum yet, I would like to thank the devs for doing such a great job on ICS and CM9 for the marvelc.
For the last couple of days, I have been playing with it on my phone. The first couple of build outs, Link2sd and/or CM9 ate my second partition on my SD card, rendering my install pretty much useless. I finally got frustrated with the low memory after installing 3-4 applications and was frustrated with a lak of A2SD for CM7/9 when I ran across the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668247
For existing installs of CM9, you can stop after step 2. I have no idea what those other steps are for. Maybe a new ROM or something. In any case, I've installed all the apps I want and still have 123 MB of free space. Hopefully, it won't eat my 2nd partition and I can take CM9 for a test drive.
In the mean time, I'm going to study these scripts so as to preserve them for future generations of Wildfire S owners.
Oh hell... I posted this in the wrong forum. Epic noob fail! Admin please delete this.
