I just want to be the first to ask, do i need to format my ext2 partition, should i wipe before i flash, do i need the latest spl, how can i format my sd card without using paragon, where and what radio are you guys using, are all the apps moved over to the sdcard cause i only have x space left in my phone, can you put the ophone theme in the rom, ect..............

Sorry I just want to be the first to say that bluetooth is still not working, there is still some lag so i am going back to bla bla bla, the led light is still not fixed, the htc screen comes up when i hot the home button, the link to the spl is not working, this rom is good enough for daily use, you should try putting a flux capacitor on the next build, ect............

Ok quick question. I have cyans 3.6.4.1 on my phone. And I created an ext2 partition using the terminal emulator. Then I converted it to ext3 in the recovery console. Now iwant to check it before I flash this Rom. How do I go about checking it. Is there a command that I can type in terminal. Secondly I see that a lot of things have been moved to the sd card. How exactly do I put those on my sd card. In the partition I suppose. Thanks

Anyone care to confirm the SMS issue has been fixed definitely. Receiving 100% of all SMSes? Can't afford to even miss one.

I'd like to know as well if anyone could verify..

When he said flux capacitor.....there's really no way it could have been serious lol

Greater Seattle area, WA
2.3.6 Observations

Wiped *.* in EXT3, did not touch FAT32 partition. Not using swapper

+ HTTPS fixed
+ Landscape on screen keyboard fixed (no more green O)
+ New battery icon! I like it.
+ Transparency on unused portion of curtain when you pull it down, Linux-esque! Reminds me of BackTrack =)
+ Screenshot added!

- Wallpaper from memory card not working, tried 4 times with different pictures
- No swapper for folks who want it (not a big deal, I don't use it)
- Had to turn off WiFi to accept Market ToS

o Definitely feels more agile and responsive, especially in the settings menus.
o Less keyboard options (calibration and all auto correct options were truncated into one setting)
o Could not test H(HSDPA) vs 3(3G) icon because I don't have 3G at home, when I goto Seattle this weekend for a wedding I will drive around and test again if I see a 3 and an H.

Good job guys! Keep it up, you have got me HOOKED.

    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!

    NOTES:Swap is linux-swap by default. Edit the user.conf in /system/bin to change swappiness etc. Compcache modules built with the latest source are included if you want compcache or compcache with backing etc. Run sh /system/bin/swap -s to check swap status and other mod values.

    **********************************************************PLEASE READ BEFORE INSTALLING**********************************************************************

    Please use Cyanogen's recovery image it is awesome!

    First step for 2.63 is to setup our SDcard...back your stuff up and lets go!

    Formatting you SDcard

    You only need to do this once folks..if you already have 3 partitions including linux-swap move to step 2

    You need Recovery image 1.31 to do this folks!

    To format card SD card with linux-swap WARNING!!! this will reformat you entire SD card!!

    You can use the recovery console and parted to format SDcards with 1.31 folks, no more going through hassles you have the tools on you G1!...here is an example of how to do this in recovery console using parted. DO NOT USE MORE THAN 32MB SWAP!!!

    Example for 8GB card (this example plays it safe and will leave a small amount leftover regardless of the 8GB card)

    Reboot and enter recovery
    Enter console
    #parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
    #print (to verfiy we know what size card we are dealing with, the details should be straight forward)
    rm 1
    rm 2
    mkpartfs primary fat32 0 7200
    mkpartfs primary ext2 7200 7700
    mkpartfs primary linux-swap 7700 7732

    #print (to verify we have the 3 partitions)

    Example for my 4GB card

    #parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
    #print (to verfiy we know what size card we are dealing with, the details should be straight forward)
    rm 1
    rm 2
    mkpartfs primary fat32 0 3420
    mkpartfs primary ext2 3420 3932
    mkpartfs primary linux-swap 3932-3964

    Example for a 2GB card playing it safe

    #parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
    #print (to verfiy we know what size card we are dealing with, the details should be straight forward)
    rm 1
    rm 2
    mkpartfs primary fat32 0 1200
    mkpartfs primary ext2 1200 1700
    mkpartfs primary linux-swap 1700-1732


    "End?" you need to place the last value for the linux swap eg.3964 for my 4GB card

    #print (to verify we have the 3 partitions)

    Next we need to "quit" parted and upgrade our ext2 partition to ext3

    #upgrade_fs

    Swap value is set to 30 currently, you can change this by modifying the "echo" value for swappiness in the a2sd.sh script

    For a longer more detailed parted turorial read this

    Flashing the ROM


    The second part is getting the ROM on our phone

    Copy the ROM to you sdcard as update.zip, enter the recovery console via home+power and lets flash, Check ext filesystems first, if it tells you to go to console to manually check do it! After I've repaired the EXT partition or if it didn't need repair I will now wipe and then apply the update and reboot...Done!

    I was using that one but I hated how it didn't adjust to 24hr and it didn't use the flip animation until I tried this:



    Thank you, didn't notice that the gps wasn't on, now the HTC clock widget works perfectly...

    Your very much welcome....

    rosie may have been slowed a tad, but i believe that app response has improved drastically over earlier non-bfs builds.

    Thank you the remix is running smooth, audio is working for camcorder aswell.
    someone had mention before and they are correct this is running as smooth as cyan, and without any configurations tweaks. :)

    yeah even though it is RECOMMENDED to run with 64mb im running with 96mb right now and its still smooth...GOOD STUFF PPLZ!!
