Now that I have EBI1.. - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just curious as to what other roms, other than Cyanogen work on the EBI1 kernel. As much as I love Cyanogen, I like to have options

Open eclair (all)
Wes garner (all)
super d 1.7
Cyanogen (all)
Kernals can be made for any rom but I lack the know how. One person whom I know does make the above kernals is brian crook. You cann google his name to find his website briancrook.ca or .com can't remember.
I am not sure if others make kernals as well. Also a cyanogen kernal is not simply compatible for all cyanoen, each rom release needs its own kernal I believe.

Lookie here: http://briancrook.ca/magic/
EBI1 ports only exist for roms that have the sources available. Only a few of them have that. You can ask for one to be built for you, or do it yourself. It is pretty easy.

EBl1 rogers ROMS?

Except for Cyanogen's rom (which is good) I'd like to try some others, as dxtop runs pretty slow on my dream.
Anyways, I use the EBl1 radio, obviously and the tutorial at Cyanogen's site says: Avoid themes, enhancements, add-ons or anything else that writes to the kernel. Be very sure before installing a theme that it is EBI1-friendly.
So if themes can affect the custom kernel surly custom roms wont work either? I'd just like a very fast rom, maybe to try out eclair or a hero build or something

Maybe you should try the Q&A section. You have over 100 posts i would be led to believe that you would know how to use this forum and not spam it with Q&A. At least not in the DEV section, that is Intended for DEV purposes.
You're right, I'll move this. Apologies.

[Q] "Brainstorming" SLCD support.

Dear developers,
i hope it is not too offensive, if so it's not my intention, but is there a way to make all your great ROMs compatible for nexus one SLCD!
Maybe you can share in this thread and it will make the development of compatible ROMs easier for you.
Many people would be happy about it.
Having a compatible recovery with RA RECOVYER 1.8.0.1 is more than just the first step.
Unfortunately I can not help you much, because i'm just consumer and no dev.
The issue is that after flashing several ROMs on SLCD the screen after the first splash screen stays black.
CM 6.0.0 is working after changing the update script before flashing.
I want to enjoy the great variety of your ROMs on my nexus one, so please try to help.
Thank you very much for your great work....!
I would just like straight answers.
Does SLCD support just require updated drivers?
Aren't the drivers included on AOSP?
And therefore, any ROM that draws straight from AOSP has the correct drivers?
Is it easier to install a custom ROM that supports SLCD if you have unlocked your bootloader?
Why is amon_RA 1.8.0.1 the only one that supports SLCD?
Why isn't 1.8.0.1 the most recent version available in the amon_RA recovery thread? And not the most current one listed in ROM manager?
You sound like someone owes you something. Which isn't the case.
Yes, updated drivers. Residing with the kernel, meaning updated kernel.
Yes, included in AOSP. Different tag/branch.
Which means - code needs to be imported/switches set/something else done. Not 1-minute job.
Bootloader doesn't matter. Not easier, not harder - just the same. It's done through recovery anyway.
Because Amon_Ra bothered to make one that supports SLCD.
Because there is a separate thread for it, and if you'd bother looking at the Nexus Wiki in Recovery section - you'd find it there, together with the note to flash it for SLCD. ROM Manager doesn't support SLCD, and in fact most, if not all, cases of "I flashed something and now I have a black screen" as of lately come from those that use ROM Manager. Why doesn't it support? Because it wasn't updated to support. Good reason not to use it and do things manually, at least until it starts supporting SLCD.
CM6 has SLCD support, Enomther is working on adding it, the rest of the devs are probably working on it too.

Do you know which branch in the AOSP includes support for Nexus One SLCD?
I've already tried the froyo branch without any success and android-2.2_r1.1 branch crashes while flashing.
Didn't check the commits since looking for a way to change MMS resolution (and didn't look beyond that ), so I'm sorry, but I'm not the person qualified to answer. Asking someone from CM team or Enomther might be a better idea to find the Google source (since those ROMs have incorporated the support).
Enomther is basing on r1.1, so it should be usable. Never tried to compile myself, so I can't be of help there....
CM has this commit in his github (from pershoot's log):
87f604b7d75e77af62a2074e993a91aa00f1fcf5 ([ARM] mahimahi: add support for Sony TFT panel)
These are 4 repositories that might also hold the commit:

[Q] 2.2 Roms in a nutshell

Ok, i've been absent from the forums for some time and have been trying to play catch up... If someone who has been keeping up would just help me get a few things straight it would be awesome.
please just put the number and if its correct or the answer or w.e.
What I think I know:
1. CyanogenMod- Established dev who releases nightly updates (CM6?) to his tweaked build of rooted mostly ASOP 2.2, which recently (thanks to a new kernal?) began working on our CDMA Hero’s.
2. Most 2.2 ROMs are based off of one of the CM6 nightlies, then customized with themes and tweaks
3. “CyanogenMod-6 for Hero CDMA - V6.0.0 (09/18/2010)” is one of these, and has been tweaked minimally, and is considered a stable build as far as CM6 goes
4. “FroYo 2.2 – CM6- Vanilla” is basically same as above, just complied from a differently “nightly”, while “Extremely Blue” and “BlackMod” are the same, just themed
5. The main (only?) NON–CM6 based options for 2.2 are…
a. asopMod v.03m = which is a very ASOP build, includes OC
b. NFX-Hero 2.2.1.update1 = slimed down ASOP, includes OC and JIT option
Questions:
6. If I want the CM6 nightly updates, is there an updater app in any of these ROMS’s, like in Fresh Hero 2.4 (what I’m used to), or do I have to pull an update.zip from somewhere (or something)?
7. Do some phones work with JIT enabled, and others don’t? and if so is there a way to tell without just trying
8. If I'm set on 2.2 should I check out any other ROMs than those I mentioned
9. Is there a standout (stable) kernal right now?
Just want to say:
NFX-Hero 2.2.1 is just the version number. It is still based on HTC Sense 2.1.
There is currently no Sense 2.2 port for the Hero.
As for the stable kernel, I've heard good things about this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756774
specifically [email protected] 09/14/2010, people refer to it as "#14 kernel"

Cyan is the almighty grand pubba of AOSP and was one of there first to release roms in the mainer we see them now. He does not do everything and all roms as he has allot of help from other devs, for us its Darch who maintains the Heroc version of cyanogen (sorry if I forgot some of you other devs)
2. Most 2.2 ROMs are based off of one of the CM6 nightlies, then customized with themes and tweaks
All of the roms you see for the heros here that are AOSP based com from darch's and then cyans repo period, nightlies are built roms while we theme built roms roms deving is done from source and can be taken from different time and snap shots so nightly means nothing then.
3. “CyanogenMod-6 for Hero CDMA - V6.0.0 (09/18/2010)” is one of these, and has been tweaked minimally, and is considered a stable build as far as CM6 goes
The stable build of cm6.0 is from the combined deving of cyan, darch and alot of other people to bring the best of wheat works and leave out what doesn't. Nightlies usually are adding what seems to work but is not always guarenteed
4. “FroYo 2.2 – CM6- Vanilla” is basically same as above, just complied from a differently “nightly”, while “Extremely Blue” and “BlackMod” are the same, just themed
Black mod is a theme, extreme blue is a themed rom compiled from cyan/drach's source vinilla is a terms used to describe a stock rom which is what cm6.00 stable and anyhting else that comes from the repo.
5. The main (only?) NON–CM6 based options for 2.2 are…
a. asopMod v.03m = which is a very ASOP build, includes OC
b. NFX-Hero 2.2.1.update1 = slimed down ASOP, includes OC and JIT option
I'll go ape **** on this but asopMod v.03m is from cyan's source ino at first he tried to make it seem like he compiled from AOSP source but the fact is he uses cyans like almost everone else and if you check his thread now he given the props the the cyan team as he should have at first.... NFX-her is a sense based rom from android 2.1
Questions:
6. If I want the CM6 nightly updates, is there an updater app in any of these ROMS’s, like in Fresh Hero 2.4 (what I’m used to), or do I have to pull an update.zip from somewhere (or something)?
Not yet but that would be nice nightlies are not considered stable and there for i dont think theyll be added to an updater like cm updater or fresh updater but when we start seeing more stable builds you'll see the updater used, cm updater is on cm6 right now just nothing to update
7. Do some phones work with JIT enabled, and others don’t? and if so is there a way to tell without just trying
All phones should work with JIT (Just in Time) dalvik compiler, whether they run betters is a different story but I have never had issues
8. If I'm set on 2.2 should I check out any other ROMs than those I mentioned
For sense I like fresh as he seems to be the best sense dev (imo) around here for AOSP you go with the grand master Cyan and his cm6 (for the hero) there are some other devs out there that make roms for other phones but most of them still use Cyan's repo.
9. Is there a standout (stable) kernal right now?
Yes Decadence

if anyones see's an error in what i posted please correct me.
Any froyo rom is going to be based off of CM6. The nightlies are built every night from any changes made that day. They are considered beta, however most will find no issues at all. If you flash CM6 the Jit setting is a quick change and will not screw up the phone. You just go into setting>cyanogenmod setttings>performance settings and check or uncheck jit and reboot. There is a ROM Manager app in CM6, but you have to install clockwork recovery so I am not sure what will show up in the ROMs option or what else it does because I do not want to install clockworks. As mentioned a lot are using #14.

not a lot shows up in the downloads section for rom manager on the hero. there's 4 selections, and none of them include cm6. it's mostly useless in my experience.
hopefully they update the downloads list soon.

Actually i was referring to cm updater which is similar to the fresh updater... when we see more stables from cm6 and up it'll start showing some it that. I personally don't care for rom manager.

rom manager could use some work to make it a bit more useful. i like it for queuing up roms to flash and making things a bit more automated, however i'm not sure it clears the dalvik cache when it does its thing so i generally have to do it myself anyways.
i'll have to check out fresh updater. i have cm updater, installed from the market, does it actually come with cm6 now? i never saw it when i flashed the 9/18 and already had it installed when i clean flashed the latest nightlies.

Well fresh updater is pretty much the same as cm updater but its only for fresh roms. cm updater might not be part of cm6 I can't, it probably isnt. I actually would like it to be as with cm5 and below it also had themes in it. hopefully itll come back when theres more cm6 stables.
Thanks all. Didn't want to jump into 2.2 without knowing what I was getting into. I decided to start with CM6.0.0, and so far its been great. As mush as I love all things Freshh, I'm mad I waited this long. I DO miss the Senses dialer (minus the ungodly lag) and I havent made up my mind on the keyboard, but the overall speediness is killer.
Hell yea froyo/ CM.

[Q] Mod Kernel for Original ROM Froyo (FRG83G)

Hi all guys,
I have the original ROM Froyo FRG83G and now I don't want to change it.
But what is the recommended kernel to improve performance with the original Froyo ROM (in this case FRG83G)? (eg overclocking RAM to 512, etc.)
My radio is 5.12.00.08
Thank you very much for your help....
Guys, I would just like some advice as there are a lot of kernel to chose.
I'm reading a lot on the forum to make the right choice, without making mistakes. I would just like to be sure.
Any advice? Please ...
You can try the ones that are made for Froyo custom ROMs. I believe they can work on stock ROMs, at least some of them.
Your best bet would do a nandroid backup, download a couple of them, and test them.
As far as I've seen most Kernels work with most ROMs the dev specifically states that the ROM is Kernel dependant or only works with certain versions of Android/requires newer radio. Simply check what each ROM/Kernel requires and make sure you meet or exceed these requirements (Radio version is a typical requirement).
Try this Kernel first:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=820172
It is for stock ROMs with stock cameras (non 720P) based on AOSP code. It is a gingerbread ROM but is backwards compatible with Froyo.
This is also a good kernel with support for stock camera
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=693375
here is the direct link for what you want:
http://wildmonks.whoisthedrizzle.com/kernel/2.6.35/010411/No_720p_Stock_Froyo/
You can read about the different options, but I usually go with the SVS and CFS options. If you don't want the audio boost feature (I think you do) check that subfolder.
Also, Pershoot and Intersect Raven make great kernels (search the dev forum or hit the first sticky called [ROMs] - [Kernels] - [Radios] - Etc). But Pershoot usually does cyanogen mod kernels and IR does a lot of CM stuff too (although he as stock-compatible kernels I've never personally tried them; shame on me).
Remember to NANDROID first!!
thanks...
Ok ... thanks all for your help ... I'll try to follow your advice ..
Thanks again!
