Updated to 3.6.2 and got constant phone process closures. So bad that I can't get USB working (I always do a Nandroid backup before I upgrade, but I forgot to copy it to the PC first, it's doing me little good on the memory card when my reader is at home).

I'm guessing it's the Hero theme that's causing the problem? I had the Hero 1.3.5 theme while running 3.6.1, and 3.6.2 didn't seem to take the theme upgrade although I applied it. Didn't see they were up to 1.4.5, but it seems like that wouldn't make a difference anyhow.

Is there any way to restore a Nandroid backup from the console?
[G1 Android Development] senab:
Is there anyway to revert back to the original Android Camera app? Or at least have them installed side by side? I like geotagging and the HTC Camera doesn't seem to support it (I think there was a separate Footprints app in Hero). :rolleyes:

Other than that 3.6.2 is working great! Great work cyanogen! :D

Back to old faithful after weekend tryst with Hero

I ran jachero this past July 4th weekend and while I loved the htc browser, there were too many problems with it and now I'm back to cy 3.6.2. Here's a review of my experiences with JACHero for those who are thinking of trying out hero.

Pros:

+ Excellent overall system performance when running with the android launcher and not sense ui/rosie/touchflo. No lagging, and performance is very close to CY 3.6.x.

+ The htc browser is great.

+ Multi-touch works well and fast, unlike the MT hack for cupcake.​

+ Double tap to zoom in and zoom out also works well.​

+ Javascript heavy sites run faster on the htc browser than 1.5 browser.​

+ Scrolling speed is more consistent than cy 3.6.x. Notice scrolling slowdowns with cy 3.6.x which I don't find with the htc browser, even with nothing going on in the background. Maybe due to better GC algorithm?​

+ Flash works decently​

+ Improved bookmarks and windows screen​

+ HTC Album app is excellent and supports multi-touch zooming

Cons:

- Bluetooth doesn't work

- LEDs don't work

- The GSM radio would randomly shutdown and need a reboot to restore

- One time my clock fast forwarded 3 hours and I had to reboot to get back to the correct time

- Random reboots

- Sense UI/Rosie/Touchflo too slow and laggy

- Even without Rosie, the HTC replacements apps (dialer, calendar, alarm clock, weather, twitter, music) are slow and bloated.

- While the htc browser is excellent overall, there are still some annoyances.

- Hated that the browser takes up the entire screen and covered up the status bar​

- I'm running adfree, but after a couple of hours, ads came back??​

Hopefully, with android 2.0, google incorporates some of the improvements from the htc browser into the android browser. Other than that, I don't see too many other reasons to run hero on the g1. There just isn't enough RAM for it to be an enjoyable experience if you want to run Sense UI.

It worked fine for me without messing up any of the apps. I also did the command line to upgrade to ext4 without any issues. Other than the fact that my SD card sucked or was defective. I'm on the little 1Gig that Tmobile included with the phone for now, but it's better then crashing constantly.

I haven't benchmarked it, but ext4 feels a little faster than ext3 and I have experienced no bad effects from it.
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
Pretty much this.
[G1 Android Development] ttabbal:
ext2: The old standby in Linux. Been around forever, very stable.

ext3: Adds journaling, this should help prevent filesystem corruption due to power loss etc. Also been around a long time and has proven to be very stable.

ext4: Recently released, but thoroughly tested. Most reports I've seen indicate speed improvements and such. This is what I am using.

Yes, you can use any of them in a fresh partition. I boot the gpartd CD with the SD in my computer and just tell it what I want. It creates the partitions and formats them to the format I asked for. I use this layout, which seems to be standard in the Android community.

#1 - FAT32: largest partition. Most of your phone data will live here, pictures, music, etc..

#2 - EXT4: About 500MB should be more than enough from what I have read. Apps and the VM cache live here, this is the apps2sd partition.

#3 - SWAP: Currently using 16MB. Seems to speed up a few things here and there. Can have bad effects on the SD card, but they are so cheap now I don't really mind that. Note that you have to add a script to enable the swap space. There is a thread in this forum about it.

You say it hasn't been set up. Windows XP can't do it, Vista might be able to. XP doesn't handle partitions on removable media. I found the easiest way is to just use the gpartd boot CD. Yes, it sucks to have to reboot, but it's easy to use and handles formatting the partitions and everything. You should only have to do it once, so it's no big loss, IMO.
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
you can set it up with whatever you want. i've been using ext3 and have yet to have a problem.
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
No, it won't

if you reflash ur Recovery to 1.3 you can do a NANRESTORE from recovery just do the update for it via "update.zip" restore ur nandroid then reflash the recovery (as the nandrestore will replace ur recovery)

ps there were changes in this update with the "dropdown notification" that crashes most themes.

ps2 you can try just reflashing the update

auto unmount problem

having a problem where the sdcard auto unmount by itself (version 3.4.6 not sure if it exists in 3.6.3).

setting the wifi manually in the wpa_supplicant.conf does work for version 3.6.3.

had to remove the entry then add it in the network setting page.

BUG REPORT:

(sorry if this has been covered already)

Started when i switched to 3.6.2:

When i scroll through my contacts using the right rolodexie tab thing, it shows lowercase letter, symbols etc that don't match the actual contacts i am scrolling through.

My gut tells me its pulling the letters etc from my "All contacts" list but i am only showing "My contacts". However i am syncing "All contacts".

Let me know if i can help any further
[G1 Android Development] lasseaagren:
The answer is on the very first page of this thread
[G1 Android Development] giantcrazy:
Thanks - I hadn't thought of just reflashing, so I did, restored, then re-flashed with the updated theme. Everything's OK now (had one acore crash but I don't see it recurring).

Now to update the recovery image...
[G1 Android Development] TheGreenJester:
I can confirm this behavior also. I am getting non-matching lower-case letters.
[G1 Android Development] dakiz71:
it's a known bug and already addressed by cyanogen in his next release. :)
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
I can confirm that this has been posted about in this very thread. Not sure if said post was a bug though. I should email vBulletin.
[G1 Android Development] cidica:

G1 screen dimming??

has anyone had the problem with the screen turning very dim?:eek: i have rooted my g1 and i am running CyanogenMod 3.6.2

I have noticed this problem before i updated to this rom. it also was doing this with the JF1.5? everything else works great, i just hate the fact thst the screen gets dim. i have to turn the backlight off and on then it starts over again. its not a big problem but I liked my g1 when the colors were more vivid! :cool:
[G1 Android Development] mianosm:
Find an old launcher.apk w/o it and push/pull them.
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
If you're talking about the auto-rotate from portrait to landscape then the change can be done...

Settings --> Sound & Display --> Uncheck "Orientation."

You may need to reboot, but that should prevent the phone from auto-rotating.
[G1 Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
Agreed, I refuse to believe you can get this sort of battery life from a standard battery.

I know many people with this phone and the battery is useless, even with my phone on standby for 8 hours a night I lose around 7 - 8%.

All of the people I know report the same sort of life....
[G1 Android Development] mianosm:
Are you guys looking at the proccesses you have running the background too, like all of your 3rd party apps and widgets?
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
After it turns dim, does the screen go black and lock? Or is it dim all the time?

On mine, even before I used Mods, it dimmed just before going black (sleep or lock mode), when it was running on battery, and went even dimmer when the battery was low.

There are programs out there that can help adjust these settings. I use Power Manager - there's a free version and a paid version in Market.
[G1 Android Development] ScottGood:
Cyanogen...

Are you up to a challenge? I would like to see this happen, IF you can!:D

I want to

Hit MENU

Select SETTINGS

Select ABOUT PHONE

Select SYSTEM UPDATES

and then see:

"Your current version is:"
(output mod version)
Checking current version
Against server
Please wait...

Then in the background its checking your file server for a new version

if no new version it comes back

"You have"
Cyanogens
most current
version

If there is a new version then it comes back

"There is a new version"
Would you like to update?

Yes No

No Cancels

Yes Downloads file to SD card root as update.zip and renames current update.zip file to previousupdate.zip, oldupdate.zip or update-1.zip or something of the like.

I think that this would be a great feature

Again I ask, Do you think you are up to the challenge?

P.S. its ok to chicken out of a challenge, it's not like your job is on the line for saying screw you I'm not messing with that "BRILLIANT" Idea
[G1 Android Development] MoB-HeArT:
i dont know if this is known but i have been having this problem even since i flashed the rom...My auto rotate wont work i have disable it and re enable it and it just stays in landscape mode and another problem i been having is that my phone internal memory is still at 70 even though i have apps to sd any solutions to these problems?
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
I wondered that too when my battery life started getting poor...and, yes, after I removed the Weather Widget -Free, my battery life improved, but not by much.

Although I agree with an earlier comment about the standard battery not being the best.

Amazon has 2200 and 2600mAh batteries, which I'll probably invest in one very soon ;)
[G1 Android Development] honiebun:
dim screen

the screen just sometimes go dim. it does not turn off or go black?:confused: I have to turn the backlite off and on to get the colors back bright. it sometimes stays bright for a while. but it seems to get dim again?:mad: hmmmmm...thinking i should maybe just start from scratch!:eek:

:( Please quote this news? :(
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
Internal Memory at 70MB is normal, this is because the "guts" of the programs are stored on the SD Card. The internal memory may still go down slightly, depending on what programs you install/use. I have 133 programs installed and my Internal Memory reads 67MB.

As far as the auto-rotate not working, unless someone has a better idea, I'd suggest re-flashing it without wipe. If the problem continues then you may want to start over with a wipe then reflash.
[G1 Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
I'm presuming it will be autoset to run every day?

Otherwise the system will have a fit.........

I think it would be better if you were able to choose your updates if it didn't check every day.

also, if it did check every day, i would want it to check at a certain time, say midnight, it activates the system update, checks, deactivates system updates. That way it's not using system resources throughout the day...
[G1 Android Development] jklong03:

Don't need a wipe for this! Searched this thread for "accelerometer" (HINT HINT!!) and found this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4076155&postcount=4625

re: auto rotate, please read the past 10 pages and attempt Cyanogen's fix in terminal to restore auto rotate and/or wipe then reflash.

EDIT:

Per Cyanogen's suggestion in a couple of previous pages, hit up a terminal prompt and try:

su
rm /data/misc/akmd* /data/misc/rild*
reboot

Others (myself included before Cyanogen's trick) have had success w/ a wipe and reflash, but if the above works, all the better.

Is anyone else experiencing Home screen lag (like when when u press home from inside another app)? Im getting it almost every single time I press home, no matter where in the OS I happen to be.. hopefully this 3.6.3 update fixes it..

Im also experiencing an annoying weirdness in the calender where in month view it displays me "midnight" at the top of the screen instead of the month im in...weird

but im guessing the next update will fix this.. I just didnt know if it was the rom with the issue or the erricson 3.6.2 HTC music app I flashed on top of it.

tweeter us too pls...

The Gallery cleaned up after I clicked on the dark boxes...however, small issues have been following me after 1.3 image even after all the fixes and 1.3.1, mostly WiFi back down to slower speed as previously (which was about 2mb then went up to about 4mb now back to about 2mb) and battery seems to not last as long after powertop...YET the 3G has been about 1mb whereas previously it was about 600kb

DID THE ANDROID RESTORE of 3.6.2...so nice to be back without a lot of effort...

Might have to go back by installing JF 1.5 then cm-1.5 and then cm-3.6.2 to see if something I did messed these things up...

According to twitter, etc, Cyanogen is working to fix a couple of issues with 3.6.3 before he puts it back up on the server. I'd assume the next post you see from him will give a head's up on download re-availability.

If you're not already, consider following Cyanogen on twitter. He's cool enough to keep up with, and having more updates/news about the best Android ROM can never hurt, right?

Recent convert to the awesomeness that is this ROM, however last night my SU permissions stopped working. It shows a blank screen forever, then force closes. So I flashed 3.6.3 (assume it's the good one?) this evening but the problem persists. Will I have to do a wipe to get this fixed?
