trackball wake up function is gone ....

trackball wake up function is gone ....

Well, not really. It was never there to begin with. If you read the first page again, this is simply a rooted and deodexed stock ROM. And trackball wake is not in the stock ROMs.

Please add A2SD+, Thanks!

I obviously can't speak for Paul, but this is an almost stock ROM and A2SD(+) is available in his MoDaCo Custom ROM, I doubt that he is going to add it here.

Hi, guys!

Sorry, I'm pretty much novice. I was trying to get any FAQ on how to install this update, but couldn't. I would like to install recommended update from first post. But would like to know how? Will it clear my personal data (apps, contacts, etc.) I were updating my Nexus using signed-passion files. Now it is FRF91 with unlocked bootloader and 1.1-FRF91-nexusone-superboot from here.

Thx in advance!

[Guest Kesey]

The latest update worked great. No errors and didn't have to wipe anything. Thanks!

[Guest izharl]

Thanks Paul!

Nedded cache wipe, but working great.

[Guest Papa_I]

Thanks Paul!

Nedded cache wipe, but working great.

I installed "Rooted / deodexed / busybox / trackball alert with radio update zip download (recommended)" with no issues. I wiped cache and dalvik-cache prior to installation. The rom is running well, but when I use the dialer, the phone reboots. Is anyone else having this issue, or know how to fix it? Thanks.

It worked fine for me, until I installed a Hebrew fix on top of it (frf83hebfix-signed). Than, the phone app start crashing everytime I ended a call. I got back to the rom without the hebrew fix, and everything work well.

[Guest nachod0g]

Cheers Paul, I tried the updated ROM and it works great.

For everyone missing Trackball Wake, I tested the FRF83 patch from crimsondr on this ROM and it appears to work fine. I compared the android.policy.jar files from FRF91 and FRG83 and it seems like nothing changed, so I think this patch should still be safe to use without being updated for FRF83, but I can't give any guarantees. You can find the files and instructions here.

Hi, PAUL

I've updated the pre-FRG83 ROM and have the same question with RM9, but reboot my device it just work fine now

and is there any necessary to re-update with the fixed ROM?

[Guest SoloMan]

So, when can we expect a new MCR release based on FRG83?

Glad to hear it! I am looking forward to a MCR of FRG83

[Guest Mahyari]

Hello,

Thanks for the ROM paul, just one thing: is there anyway that we can add 720p to this ROM?

I will appreciate any help.

[Guest mrfoo]

Any news on the MCR?

Any news on the MCR?

I've been hearing for two weeks now that it's "coming any day now", i got tired of waiting (no offense Paul, i'm sure you have enough on your plate). I just switched to the readily available FRG83 alternatives (LeoFroyo, Geo411m, Enomther).

Thanks, i guess i'll check it out - makes my premium subscription seem a waste :-(

I'd quite enjoy a comparison of all the different ROMs out there but i suppose this isn't the place to discuss it!

I agree about the subscription - am a bit disappointed but this isn't the place to discuss other roms (out of respect for Paul), just go to the XDA developers forum, you will see plenty of threads about the various Roms.

[Guest chmilu]

When can we have the kitchen for this?

Just to throw in my 2p - I came for the MCR kitchens, and paid for an ad free account. Also slightly disappointed that Paul's been too busy to roll up an FRG83 version of MCR.

[Guest Paul]

FRG83 stock kitchen now available in this topic.

FRG83 based MCR in progress!

Hi Paul,

I'm planning to install the Rooted / deodexed / busybox / trackball alert with radio update zip download (recommended) ROM from the first post of this topic.

I've rooted my N1 since I own it, but I'm new to installing ROMs. I'm reading tutorials for a week now, and I think I'm (almost) ready by now...

The "almost" is because of the remaining questions below ;-)

I don't know for Vodafone in UK but in France SFR (French Vodafone) try to make us pay for tethering. They've changed our ROM and from what I've read on French forums, SFR opens a PDP Context setting a new APN nammed "websfr" that they track to make you pay. Using (root) tethering apps and/or changing the user agent of the browser on the connected laptop is working to avoid this extra-billing but the easiest method is to trash this damn SFR ROM to install a stock US ROM. So I'm wondering: is your recommended ROM based on a US release of the FRG83 Rom ?

From tutorials I've read, I've understood that a Wipe isn't necessary when using the same ROM "family" (like when installing a MCR on top of a MCR)

So, as I have a stock FRF91, can I install your "almost stock" FRG83 Rom without a wipe ? ... and, depending on your answer : What is the risk of not wiping even if recommended ? And if I run all the wipes, what will I lose ? Will the games I play remember my achieved levels ?

Thanks in advance for the help !

[Guest Jerry JyN]

OK, now that I've installed this topic's recommended ROM, I'll answer myself :(

Once the Vodafone SIM card was reinstalled inside my wiped FRG83 Nexus, it re-created the Vodafone APN settings, so maybe I'm not free of their tethering taxes... :)

About wiping, I finally did it, as I've read it was really safer. Using Titanium Backup to restore all my apps+data I didn't loose anything :(

Only problem is that the free version of Titanium didn't restore on SD the apps moved on my previous ROM. I had to manually re-move to SD my 200 apps :(

As this overall first-time-changing-ROM experience went smoothly, I now consider testing Custom ROMS...

MCR will be the next big step for me ! :)
