boring

Hey cyanogen,

you know what is boring about your ROM updates...?

I can always post the same sentences: "updated without any issue, works perfectly. Good work as usual. Fast and stable. Thank you cyanogen, keep up the good work!"

applies to 3.6.5 and earlier.

Thank you!

I wake up every morning at 8am n get to work by train which is a hour ride, which is what i am doing right now. All i do during this time is read up on this forum. And then i get to work and all i do is txt until i have a customer. N then i close at 6pm n catch my train back home 6:30pm for another hour back doing the same thing, but now my friends are awake so im surfing around here txtin n using my when somebody calls. N then i get home go play bball n then at night i go out n sometimes use my gps if needed be. I have the oem battery with a spare i carry EVERYWHERE but by the end of the night (id say maybe 3am) i have about 20% of battery left. Keep in mind this is a oem battery that is being used literally alll day long. I love this rom i am running and i support it 100% all the way. Ty soo much to all u devs out there bc as much as i try to learn programmin n all these other crazy things u guys kno, i simply wasnt born smart enough to beable to learn it fully lol, i served in the marines and my job was demolitions :x. Best i can do is follow the instructions that everyone in this forum posts up for ppl like me. I thank u all for the roms and tutorials that have been released and for the ones that shall be released in the futurre... :) cheers and n semper fi to ne other devil dogs out there lol. (I kno im gay lol)
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
actually the battery life is my only gripe really with this update. Its def not improved. the battery life drains extremely fast and thats with nothing different then the other updates. i no using it this weekend ive had to charge it much more often and i dont even think im getting 4 hours even before its needing to charge again. i can have it on all night soon as i turn it on its like a serious drop with very minimal usage. I expect with the speed performance increase to loose some battery life but this is and area i would like to see tweaked somehow. reading the posts im not the only one that things the battery life sucks in this build. but all in all performance wise this is the best update yet.
[G1 Android Development] axlastro:
It's relative...

I'm using my phone about 45 min at wi-fi constantly browsing/downoading in the morning. At work I could listen to music about 4-5 hours with BT headset and do little texting (10 messages at most). 6pm I have 10% battery.

It also depends on what software you have installed. I installed the ambient light sensor and it drained my battery for some reason in a matter of 3 hours on standby.
[G1 Android Development] painrage:
Truly it's probably an app I would go through and reinstall any app that runs constantly or starts automatically and also look for any app that pops up under app manager but not in app tray and also any app that has a broken icon. I had to do this with mine I could actually feel the heat from the power suck my phone was going through and I don't know if u got one but a task/process manger app is very usefully. Cause on mine I noticed I had things I don't use running and also home UI was trying to run under my home replacement app which seemed to be part of the problem . And ultimately others have had to rewipe and reflash but this problem can be fixed. And I've read in this thread that any one that used a previous method of apps2sd had a lot of issues and would say that starting from a completely starting from a freshly formatted and partitioned sdcard is ideal to get this right. Hope this helps u and gets the phone working the best for u
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
Also, a swapfile/swap partition will cause battery life to decrease more since the phone is constantly reading and writing to the sdcard which will drain the battery faster.

I surf the web using WiFi all day always have blue tooth , and gps on email and text all day long and sometimes have a dead battery at 11pm but I also do have a 2600mah battery so......
[G1 Android Development] EpedemicOptikz:
don't know why you guys having drain battery so bad. my phone lasts a couple of days before a charge. One thing you guys should do is get rid of a lot of the widgets you have on the home screen. Those are the real battery drainers. The SD Card Internal and the Storage Mem widgets are a few examples. Tech Buzz, FML Widget, Gaming Buzz Widgets are some more.

In fact, I have a suggestion for next update. Have it so that when not on the home screen, all home screen widgets turn off temporarily until coming back to the home screen. Sounds like it'd save a lot of battery.
[G1 Android Development] sputnik99:
no need for a double post. YES, you will lose your shortcuts on the home screen because themes (the ones I know) replace the home screen. Your question should be asked better in the themes section, it is no issue of cyanogens ROM.
[G1 Android Development] painrage:
The short cuts will stay as long as u don't wipe when u flash
[G1 Android Development] kidnoble:
I didn't mean to double post...so my bad.

I'm also new to all of this, so I didn't know whether to refer to a ROM thread or theme thread...thanks for your help though
[G1 Android Development] derfolo:
Don't know how much you already know, so I apologize if these steps are too "newbie" for you. These steps will erase your apps and data from the SD card, so back up your data first (pictures, music, etc). Starting over with apps won't kill you (I know from lots of experience ;)), and this approach will make sure that everything is clean, fast, and easy.

1) Turn off your phone, take out the SD card and mount it in your Mac using an SD card reader.

2) Open your Utilities folder in your Applications folder and start Disk Utility.

3) Click the SD card in the menu at upper left, and then click the "Partition" tab that appears in the upper middle of the screen.

4) Click the pull-down menu that says "Current", and select "2 Partitions."

5) Make sure the 1st partition is FAT and the 2nd partition is EXT2 (if you have EXT2FS installed on your Mac, this option is now available). Divide them out so that EXT2 is about 500MB--you won't need more.

6. Get the Recovery v1.3.1 and flash it to the SD card. Reboot in recovery and convert your EXT2 to EXT3.

7) Flash whatever ROM file you want (I recommend CM 3.6.5 :D) and you will be good to go!!

8) Reinstall all of your desired apps--they will automatically go to the EXT3 partition.

"you need to update to recovery 1.3.1 cm it on the first page you can check if it's on your version but i'm not sure

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=534714

do what the link says and go ahead and make the swap partition just incase u want to try it"

so when I do this, all the apps swaps to my SD Card?:confused:
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
Good point, but that's up to the widget developer. A widget doesn't need to stay in memory all the time. A well written widget should do its update, set a timer, and then kill itself until its time to do another update.

Most widgets aren't well written though.

If you want a nice weather widget that does just that, try weather forecast widget. There's a thread in the apps section.

o when I do this, all the apps swaps to my SD Card?

cyanogens rom's due app2sd automatically if u have ext 2/3/4 partition and it's a binder method wich is not compatable with other methods. so the answer is yes is u make the partition ext then it will now have apps2sd after u reboot ur phone with the partitioned card in it
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
well just a couple apps are running but nothing different then the other updates. everything i have is the same except the update to the new 3.6.5 and theres obviously a big battery difference with doing absolutely nothing really. the apps to sd is done automatically here and my card is formatted correctly for this build Ive seen it posted as well from other people that the battery just drains very fast ive done all the normal battery tricks of draning and charging and nope its official the update sucks on battery life. But everything else is great. its a bit of and annoyance to have to charge so frequent but the performance in the update is great.
[G1 Android Development] aznlovshrimp:
not one in particular just the ones i download from market. nothing is showing up or working even after a reboot and wipe/reflash. any suggestions?

So is cyanogen stuntin his magic on the jachero rom now? cuz honestly the new 2.63 with a hugeeeee linux swap partition (269mb)is running just about flawless for me...3.6.5 was by far the fastest rom i have used. And I just figured he had to be doing some work on the new jachero because of how much faster/stable it has gotten since 2.3.5 - 2.3.6
[G1 Android Development] _Kyros_:
Ok smartass I tried that but was only able to uninstall Quickoffice and the HTC VK, PDF viewer did not want to uninstall so any other solutions?
[G1 Android Development] cidica:
you do not need ext3 to run cyan's mods for apps2sd. ext2 is fine. but incase you are wondering upgradeing ext2 to 3 is easy if you have cyan's recovery. boot into it alt+x to get to console and run upgrade_fs from the prompt. (you might have to run it 2 times read the screen to se eif it did actually do anything) It's that easy but it's not needed.
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
I tried 2.63 with a 64meg swap partition and while its faster than before, its still relatively slow and laggy compared to 3.6.5. Its a lot more stable than the previous builds though. The hero browser is excellent.
[G1 Android Development] cidica:
pdf viewer uninstalled fine here and on my other G1 as well. You could always mod the rom yourself and remove them before a install.....
[G1 Android Development] _Kyros_:
Guess I'll have to do that, thanks anyway.

Whoa!!

So, I have my portable Firefox on my sd card, so when i'm at work, I can mount my sd card and browse internet filter free. Anyways, I was doing so, and my sd card unmounted automatically, without warning. My firefox started to error out on my pc and I had to remount my sdcard to get it back.

Anyone else having this issue? It's new to me.
[G1 Android Development] derfolo:
As someone said, you don't really need EXT3--EXT2 will work. I had some problems with FS corruption with EXT2, which is why I recommend EXT3. (These problems seemed to go away after the conversion).

As shown in cyanogen's first post, just install his 1.31 recovery image and run "upgrade_fs" from the console command prompt to convert your EXT2 partition to EXT3. If you don't know how to get to the console in recovery mode, then you have to go through the other tutorials on this site before the brief explanation I provided will make sense to you.

tried asking this before but nobody answered...

when i do a nandroid backup, is it backing up my ext/ext3 partition? if not how do i back that up? because i wanna go back to JACHero to see how much faster it's gotten since i've last tried it because it looks like it has came a loooonggg ways from 1.8b, also flash 9 sounds great to have. but if it's not what i expect it to be i would like to go back to what i have on my phone right now without having to worry about my ext2/ext3 (i currently have ext3 but wouldnt mind downgrading if needed be) being deleted. anyways if somebody can help me out here i'd appreciate it... and yes i used the search feature, idk if it's me or wether the search feature just simply sux :X sry xda, i still love u guys tho!
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
AFAIK, Nandroid backs up your phone, not additional storage (like the SD card). Back up the SD card with your (Linux) PC (or use CloneZilla with any computer -Linux or Windows or whatever).

this is covered under adb and u would need to:

adb pull /system/sd/* /dir/path/way/on/your/pc

example on my pc : adb pull /system/sd/* c:/android

this should work not sure if u need the c prompt (the c:)

IMPORTANT!!! wait till u get a return if u don't u could damage your sdcard and or cause errors on your hard drive adb is a dev tool it can cause problems if u don't use it properly and this will take some time to complete. look up adb for step by step good luck

I am. Portable Firefox is meant to be installed on a usb type drive. It is placed on my fat32 partition, and when i mount my sd card, i am able to run firefox from my computer...

i didn't because i don't have a swap file, i have a swap partition, windows doesn't see this so i don't need to turn it off when mounting to pc.

When i do this, i get an error about "cross link device"

in the hero roms its ok and the old cupcakes also ok..

just here i have this annoying problem.. :(

how can i fix this please?
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
Yeah, but if it's built into the ROM you wont use more system resources with another app. Plus, cyanogen made this ROM shutdown/reboot safely, unmounting all the fs's, etc.

When you use an external program, it doesn't shut down safely and can corrupt the fs's.

If i wanted to do that, i'd make a GScript...

Thanks tho.

so I've rooted and installed cyanogen 3.6.5, and for some reason, the auto rotate isn't working, even though i have it on. In addition to that...when I switch orientation by opening the keyboard...then closing the keyboard...the view doesn't switch out of landscape unless I cut the screen off then back on. Any clues as to what I might have switched? Could it be a conflict of spare parts with a setting in the rom or something?

Hi kidnoble

On the main page of this thread Cyanogen answer your question in point 20 which reads.

[G1 Android Development] Saiboogu:
I thought, the way he built it into the system, that his clean shutdown would occur for pretty much everything but a lockup or a battery yank. Have you watched a shell reboot command in adb? I would, but don't have a PC with ADB handy right now..

Yes, i have done a logcat on every method that shuts the phone down.

if you type in recovery

$su
#reboot

or through adb

adb shell reboot

the phone doesn't go through cyans mod, it just reboots.

you do the same thing clicking his "Reboot" option in the shutdown screen, it unmounts everything and shuts down safely.

even if you do a

$su
#reboot -p

or via adb

adb shell reboot -p

it just powers down, it doesn't do cyans mod either...
