The old massive thread has been closed!

Check out the new website: http://www.cyanogenmod.com - thanks to SatanR1!!

I am maintaining a custom ROM based on Android 1.5r3 (crossbred with Donut) focusing on performance, reliability, and safe usage of apps on SD, with some additional features. Yes, this will work just fine on your non-ADP devices. Versions listed as "experimental" may and will have some issues, so unless you want to be a guinea pig, use the "stable" versions. Major thanks to everyone who is helping to test these ROMs!

If you have installed a theme that is not specifically designed for this ROM, please don't post bugs here unless you can reproduce them without the theme installed.

Please search the Android Bug Tracker then check the CyanogenMod Bug Tracker before posting your problem! I do not work for Google and am not going to fix every known bug that exists in Cupcake. Of course, if I created the bug and it's specific to this ROM I will certainly fix it. But please, search before posting bugs. There is a lot of good information in this thread and the old thread and the likelihood that you are the first person to report an issue is very low.

If you are reporting a bug about a "force close", you need to post the output of "adb logcat" from the crash or there is nothing I can do for you.


DO NOT RUN ANY OTHER APPS2SD APPLICATIONS ON THIS BUILD. YOU WILL BREAK YOUR SYSTEM. THEY ARE NOT NECESSARY BECAUSE THIS ROM WILL DO A2SD AUTOMATICALLY AND BETTER!

*** DISCLAIMER ***
While this build is heavily optimized, it is also capable of pushing your G1 much harder. I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or the current economic crisis. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modificiations, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

* UNIVERSAL! Runs on both Dream and Magic 32B
* Now identifies itself as either T-Mobile G1 or myTouch (due to popular demand, and T-Mobiles lameness to support ADP devices)
* Based on AOSP 1.5r3, a heap of Donut, various collected patches, and some help from JF-1.51-ADP
* Enhanced ramdisk which uses optimal mount options and smart startup

* Does not require "DangerSPL"
* Highly optimized kernel with many extra modules
* Includes a massive APN list
* Maximum CPU scaling frequency set to 528MHz with latency tweaks
* Various enhancements to the Settings app including extra partition space
* Runs /system/sd/userinit.sh after A2SD setup and before starting the runtime for user scripts

Frequently Asked Questions said:
1. Do I have to wipe?
You shouldn't have to wipe if coming from a JF ADP-based ROM, otherwise, probably. If weird things are happening, try wiping. You can also try the permission fixer script linked above. If you are coming from an HTC-based ROM like Hero or Sapphire, you are going to have to wipe.

2. Will you include the HTC Dialer/HTC Mail?
No, because I won't be shipping the full HTC-modified Android core (it's not open source), which these apps depend on. I do include the "Work Email" application which is the HTC Exchange client.

3. Will this work on the Magic?
It will work on Dream (G1) or Magic 32B (myTouch). I plan to support 32A devices soon.

4. How do I set up apps-to-sd?
You need to create a second partition on your SD card in the ext2/ext3/ext4 format. Search the forums if you don't know how to do this. Once created, the ROM will move your apps automatically and new apps will be installed to the SD by default.

5. How do I install MyFaves?
Look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=542267

6. Will you include feature X, Y, or Z?
Maybe, ask me about it.

7. How do I convert to Ext3?
Reboot into recovery (home + power), drop to a console (Alt+x), and enter: "upgrade_fs". Reboot and you will be at ext3. This requires my recovery image listed above.

8. Can I use Ext4?
Yes, the kernel supports it (with delayed allocation fixes) and the required tools are there. You'll need to do the conversion manually, though.

9. How do I enable the HTC_IME?
Go into settings->Locale & text and disable "Android Keyboard" and enable "Touch Input".

10. Can I tether with this?
Yes. I recommend using Wifi Tether for Root Users

11. I want to switch back to ext2.
Reboot into recovery (my recovery image), drop to a console (Alt+X). Remove the journal with "tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/block/mmcblk0p2". You should then fsck with "e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p2".

12. Will you include feature XXX from Hero?
No. Most of the HTC apps in Hero require the heavily modified closed-source Android core which I won't be including.

13. My /system/sd is read only and/or didn't upgrade to ext3!
Your filesystem is probably corrupt. Boot into Recovery 1.2+ and run a filesystem check from the menu. If it tells you to run it manually, drop to a console (alt+x) and run "e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p2".

14. Is ext3/ext4 safe for my SD card?
Probably, unless your card is very old and does not support wear leveling. Use Google and decide for yourself.

15. I have problems with force closes of paid apps and have to reinstall my them after a no-wipe upgrade!
Run the "permission fixer" script. It is included in this build as well as Recovery 1.2+. Just execute "fix_permissions" from a terminal or the recovery console and reboot.

16. Can I use your work in my own ROM?
Of course, I am all about sharing! Just give credit where credit is due.

17. It's taking forever to boot!
The first boot will take longer than normal because dexopt needs to run. If you are nervous, connect USB and run "adb logcat" to watch the progress.

18. My phone rebooted by itself!
Possible kernel panic or oops. Please get me the output of "cat /proc/last_msg" when you reboot so it can be debugged.

19. My camera is black and white only!
You have settings left over from the old Android camera. Just go into the Camera, hit menu, settings, then "reset to defaults".

20. My auto-rotate/accelerometer isn't working!
Not really the fault of the ROM, but here's how to fix it: Go into recovery, drop to console, "mount /data", then "rm /data/misc/akmd* /data/misc/rild*" and reboot.

21. What about swap space?
As of 4.0, Compcache is activated by default unless a userinit.sh script is present. Search the forums for information on how to create a userinit.sh to activate swap.

22. Will you include the Flash Player from Hero?
No, because it's tightly coupled to the Hero Browser, which is tightly coupled to the Hero Framework. It's not easily portable at this point. Run Hero if you want it. Otherwise, we will have to wait for something more compatible.

Changelog moved to next post!

Nice. I shall try out. I'm running Haykuro's ADP 1.5Hr3, no APP2SD. Simple rename to update.zip and thats it? I don't plan to run APP2SD.

Running the latest SPL (1.33.2005) and Radio (2.22.19.26I).

For all having issues with the accelerometer

I had the problem where the accelerometer did not work at all anymore.Since I did not want to lose all my data, I found a post on how to fix it without wiping:

[Warning] DON'T try this while NOT in the recovery console! You will lose space on the /data partition because of a bug!! ONLY do this in the recovery console where no system is running

Start by powering off phone
Now hold [Home+Power] to enter Recovery
Enter recovery console [alt+x]
Press Enter to bring up shell
Type the following hitting <enter> after each line:

mount /data
cd data
cd misc
rm akmd_set.txt
reboot

The file will be recreated and life is good:D

Are donut details/features already known?

Not really, but we have some ideas based on the kernel changes and the code snapshot they put into GIT 2 months ago.

Also, 3.6.7 has a new template, sorry about this guys.. I know you hate me now. I had to get the resource ids back in line with exactly what is expected, and it was off by one due to the addition of the reboot menu- this is what caused that stupid market bug. This is what I hate about Android.. if you get ANY of the resource ids out of line, the closed-source apps can break.

IMAP/POP email features

The only thing stopping me from using this ROM is that it lacks POP/IMAP features found in other ROMs (e.g., Rogers, Hero). Specifically, I miss the ability to sort email by date/sender/subject/etc and set the size of downloaded messages and the option of downloading messages by number of emails or by days.

Is there any way to port the Rogers POP/IMAP email features into this build?

No, we've been over this 100 times. The Rogers/Hero/HTC Mail app can't be used on this ROM. It does include the Exchange app from the myTouch though. Use K-9, it's better than the stock email client IMHO.

It would be nice if there was something like a JF Update for this ROM since there are new releases very often.
Or a tweak to use the default System Update for this ROM. I know MANY would love this.

    Reboot into recovery (home + power), drop to a console (Alt+x), and enter: "upgrade_fs". Reboot and you will be at ext3. This requires my recovery image listed above.

    8. Can I use Ext4?
    Yes, the kernel supports it (with delayed allocation fixes) and the required tools are there. You'll need to do the conversion manually, though.

    9. How do I enable the HTC_IME?
    Go into settings->Locale & text and disable "Android Keyboard" and enable "Touch Input".

    10. Can I tether with this?
    Yes. I recommend using Wifi Tether for Root Users

    11. I want to switch back to ext2.
    Reboot into recovery (my recovery image), drop to a console (Alt+X). Remove the journal with "tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/block/mmcblk0p2". You should then fsck with "e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p2".

    12. Will you include feature XXX from Hero?
    No. Most of the HTC apps in Hero require the heavily modified closed-source Android core which I won't be including.

    13. My /system/sd is read only and/or didn't upgrade to ext3!
    Your filesystem is probably corrupt. Boot into Recovery 1.2+ and run a filesystem check from the menu. If it tells you to run it manually, drop to a console (alt+x) and run "e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p2".

    14. Is ext3/ext4 safe for my SD card?
    Probably, unless your card is very old and does not support wear leveling. Use Google and decide for yourself.

    15. I have problems with force closes of paid apps and have to reinstall my them after a no-wipe upgrade!
    Run the "permission fixer" script. It is included in this build as well as Recovery 1.2+. Just execute "fix_permissions" from a terminal or the recovery console and reboot.

    16. Can I use your work in my own ROM?
    Of course, I am all about sharing! Just give credit where credit is due.

    17. It's taking forever to boot!
    The first boot will take longer than normal because dexopt needs to run. If you are nervous, connect USB and run "adb logcat" to watch the progress.

    18. My phone rebooted by itself!
    Possible kernel panic or oops. Please get me the output of "cat /proc/last_msg" when you reboot so it can be debugged.

    19. My camera is black and white only!
    You have settings left over from the old Android camera. Just go into the Camera, hit menu, settings, then "reset to defaults".

    20. My auto-rotate/accelerometer isn't working!
    Not really the fault of the ROM, but here's how to fix it: Go into recovery, drop to console, "mount /data", then "rm /data/misc/akmd* /data/misc/rild*" and reboot.

    21. What about swap space?
    As of 4.0, Compcache is activated by default unless a userinit.sh script is present. Search the forums for information on how to create a userinit.sh to activate swap.

    22. Will you include the Flash Player from Hero?
    No, because it's tightly coupled to the Hero Browser, which is tightly coupled to the Hero Framework. It's not easily portable at this point. Run Hero if you want it. Otherwise, we will have to wait for something more compatible.

    Changelog moved to next post!

    If anyone wants to help with these threads, I can probably get a mod to add us a third post for the collected good bits from the thread.

    That would be sweet! Links to different posts within the thread would be much helpful to newcomers.

    Do some research, you'll see that Cyan's ROMs are based on ADP 1.5...and, as of today, with some Donut mixed in.

    What? I understand it's based off ADP 1.5 hence the "ANDROID" boot screen and the device name of Android Dev 1. My question wasn't What is this mod based off of, it is: "Is anyone having problems with Bluetooth? If so, how did you fix it (if it works)." Since it's based off 1.5, and my HTC ADP 1.5 Image uses my BT Stereo headphones properly, what is different?

    Hey all I'm new to flashing roms...

    Why are all of the ringtones/notification tones removed? So you know where I can find them and download them? Thanks.

    For space and try reading the first post. :rolleyes:
