I found this

For all having issues with the accelerometer:

I had the problem where the accelerometer did not work at all anymore.Since I did not want to lose all my data, I found a post on how to fix it without wiping:

[Warning] DON'T try this while NOT in the recovery console! You will lose space on the /data partition because of a bug!! ONLY do this in the recovery console where no system is running

Reboot your phone to recovery console (home+power)

Enter recovery console alt+x

mount /data

cd data

cd misc

delete/move/rename the file akmd_set.txt (I deleted)

Reboot and wait (reboot takes longer this time)

The file will be recreated and life is good
[G1 Android Development] tagm:
Just installed the CyanogenMod. Works great!

2 questions

1. How can I see apps2sd works?

2. I have some roms for my gensoid emulator on the EXT3 partition. Can't find them with the filemanager in gensoid. Where should I find them?
[G1 Android Development] up.n.down:
Thank you man, I had coma problems with both 3.4.3 and 3.4.6 with APP2SD enabled and got stuck to 3.4.6 w/o APP2SD, but this one is stable (1 GB ext3 partition). Still have to upgrade to 3.6.1, you're releasing too fast ;)

I still have a multitouch related trouble, where my touchscreen simply runs wild. I have to lock the screen (pressing power) and then unlock (menu+menu) to solve this. I don't think this is hardware related, but I don't know if it happens to anybody else (a friend of mine's G1 with 3.4.4 without APP2SD runs just fine). I think it depend on multitouch, as once the browser complained that it cannot zoom out while it happened. If you like I can file you a video of this strange behaviour: I did not find a way to reproduce it, but it happens quite frequently. I'm available to debug and test, if you need some more hint.

P.S.: would you mind releasing your build environment each time you update the build? I appreciated a lot the 3.5.2 b.e., it helped me compiling openvpn on the device :D I could also think to disable multitouch from your kernel to solve the above issue.

Thanks again for all the hard work!
[G1 Android Development] sim64one:
Trying 3.6.1

I'm coming from JAChero 2.3.3, a very good build but with some minor problems yet.

well, those are my steps:

nandroid of worked JAChero (copy and rename it on my ubuntu-notebook)

do not touch my ext3 partition (with app, app-private and dalvik cache)

start the phone on recovery, then wipe and update

at the start up (in about 3 minutes) I've set up my g.account and italian language

all my previous apps in ext3 works fine except the app-private, then go to the market and reinstall them

go to setting swapper and set /system/sd/swap

starting MyBackupPro and restoring only call-log, sms and alarms

reboot the phone: restoring works, app-private works, date format don't work properly (I like Italian style 04 July 2009)

Conclusion: this build work very good, it is the best togheter Mikhael 1.5.4 for usability, fast, no-bug and more.

@cyanogen: your work it is very appreciated from me, so the work of other develepers what are making android the best OS for embedeed device.

@cyanogen 2: your recovery it is GREAT, if you can to include it a utility to performe a nandroid restore ... it will be a DREAM!
[G1 Android Development] scotte9999:
Excellent find! Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Recovery-1.3 has Nandroid restore.
[G1 Android Development] estecman:
WOW you are a life saver, just pulling my hair out why my Compass wasnt working, just before a trip and then I found your post!

Thank you mate!!!:)
[G1 Android Development] tagm:
Some extra information. My internal free phone memory is 54Mb, SD card total 6881 Mb, SD card secondary 687 MB (I've got a 8 GB card)

I would expect my internal phone memory to be 6935 Mb (bigger internal memory because the EXT3 partition should be added to the internal memory.

Also checked my filesystem with OI file manager and I still can't find any files that I have stored on my EX3 partition.

I've checked the sd card with Ubuntu and there are directories added on the card with apps so I guess the rom did recognise the card and wrote some stuff to it. Only thing I still don't know for sure... does apps2sd work and where are my files?
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
New minor release, v3.6.2. Some fixes from Stericson and a few minor things from me. See the first post for download info, second post for the changelog. The theme template has also been updated.
[G1 Android Development] Lemonade727:
These releases just keep flying out...downloading now :)
[G1 Android Development] cidica:
The reboot option alone makes things so much easier. No more using Terminal for reboot (well unless it's reboot recovery)
[G1 Android Development] akatragedy:
Just keeps gettin better and better than the bi-phone

WOW!!! Updates on the 4th of July!! This guy needs a case of beer to celebrate the holiday!!

Thank you so much!!! :)
[G1 Android Development] rasturn:
Wow Dude

you must have a lifetime supply of redbull, or something first recovery1.3, 1.3.1 and now CM3.6.2 i almost cant keep up. But 1000 thx you've made me enjoy this phone again even better than the first day! next chk i got some beer $ coming promise! you might only be able to get a case of natty lite but times are ruff!
[G1 Android Development] prettyboy85712:
Great update!!!
[G1 Android Development] Thats BS:
Happy 4th.

Running better and better, no problems here.

Thanks for both updates today. Get some rest. lol
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Java Monster actually :D
[G1 Android Development] metallicant:
I've had problems with the accelerometer getting "stuck" before. A good way to test this is to start Teeter and see if you can move the ball :) To fix it, I ran "rm /data/misc/akmd* /data/misc/rild*" and rebooted.[/QUOTE]

Where do you run the above command in? I tried it in the terminal and it's coming up unfounded.

I lost the auto rotate feature as well
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Make sure you su first.

You can also do it from recovery console, just mount /system first.
[G1 Android Development] bengrulz:
just an fyi for other people, i flashed 3.6.1 and 3.6.2 and both times it gave me a boot loop. I gave my phone the three-finger salute (call, home, end) while it was looping and let it boot up again. it did so loop free, no wipe needed.
[G1 Android Development] kockroach:
Hey cyanogen, I just moved over to your build, and I must say it is quite snappy. Amazing job! One question for you. I see that you now have the option to reboot when holding the power button. Is it possible to have an option be to reboot into recovery? That way, when we load an update.zip onto the SD, we don't have to power down, then press home+power to get into recovery to apply the update. Just a thought on something that would cut-down on key presses.

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] mianosm:
Is there anyway you'd post a build that you've done while running script before you start, and stopping it when you're done?

Thanks if its possible. = )
[G1 Android Development] marshallladd:
Java Monster? Really? But who am I to judge. Whatever keeps these coming. Great work man, now go celebrate the holiday, God knows you deserve a break.
[G1 Android Development] marshallladd:
when you reboot, just push and hold the home button immediately after the screen goes black. you will reboot into recovery mode. Same can be done with the camera to get into the bootloader.
[G1 Android Development] metallicant:
Thanks... I'll go try it now...
[G1 Android Development] kockroach:
That's a good one to know. Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
Actually, don't even think of taking any time off, I know where you live.... :D

Seriously, excellent work and dedication to the Android.

[G1 Android Development] metallicant:
Tried the command in the terminal and just tried it in recovery and both came back rm: cannot remove /data/misc/akmd*/data/misc/rild* No such file or directory ????

One question?

Hey! Hi to all Guys~!

I already installed CyanogenMod 3.6.1, and please....Somebody can tell me, Where is the SIM applications or SIM Services feature. I need this feature....I tried with v3.4.6, v3.6 and this feature is missing....

Anybody help me with this?
[G1 Android Development] xenio2000:
HTC_IME Phone Keyboard have only english or it is multilanguage (T9).

There is Italian language?

I have only the english option.

Thanks

edit:

with the help of a friend in the forum he told me to set the Locale in Italian and the HTC_IME configure itself in T9 Italian Dictionary

But I like to keep the system in english an get only the Italian T9 for the sms.

Any idea?
[G1 Android Development] wbexpress:
Lost, sortof

OK, I had the 1.2 recovery image and version 3.4.2, I have now updated to 1.3.1 and 3.6.2. I'm sure I'm missing something or just not reading right, but, the recovery image does not appear to have the option to put the apps2sd, and in the sd setting, "sd card secondary" shows total space "unavailable" and the same for "available spce" where they used to say 90 and 27 before I updated. Worse than that, the internal phone storage shows 19MB, and the whole thing seems to have slowed down dramatically since I updated. I only have like 53 apps, and did not install any more since the update. Can someone tell me what I am missing/not doing right. Thanks...
[G1 Android Development] lazaro17:
anyone notice in your contacts when you go to scroll by letter it acts all screwy?

didnt happen in 3.6.1

didnt wipe to 3.6.2 since i didnt find it necessary
[G1 Android Development] lightforce:
ever since 3.6 when i mount my sd card then eject after it says SD card damaged. I have to reboot to fix this. Anyone have this issue?
[G1 Android Development] usmc2k:
I have a similar problem... lost 20mb of internal space... how do I run the apps-2-sd script from recovery image 1.2 ? Im now using recovery image 1.3.1. Other than that phone is still smooth and quick.... thanks Cyanogen Excellent work
[G1 Android Development] marshallladd:
Heads up to anyone using stericsons HTC Music player mod and planning on updating to 3.6.2. His music player port is not compatible with 3.6.2. He will be releasing an update specifically for cyanogen3.6.2 he has said in the HTC_Music thread.
[G1 Android Development] marshallladd:
reboot to recovery and try the "repair ext filesystem" option. That should tell you any problems and fix them. If that doesn't work then it is above my basic knowledge.
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
This freakin rocks!!!

Updated to 3.6.2.

Updated to recovery 1.3.1

Love it.

Love the lockscreen-dock access. Thanks stericson, good work.

Love the added restore in recovery.

Love everything about this rom.

Everything is moving so fast.

My swap partition is still intact.

My a2ds is still going strong with 130+apps.

My phone doesn't even take time to blink.

Thank you cyanogen for all your hard work.

And thank you to everyone in this forum to help make it such an awesome build.

Cyanogen for President!!! Lol!
[G1 Android Development] Pinesal:
I understand this build now automaticly overclocks the CPU so I don't need the overclock app. Is that correct?
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
If you were showing 90 and 27 in those 2 fields, you were not using a2sd on your last build.

Do you have a ext3 partition?

Cyan made it say unavailabe in 3.6.2 if you dont have a ext2/3/4 partition for purposes of confusion.
[G1 Android Development] wbexpress:
Nope. It seems to have said "repaired", but nothing changed in the settings screen, except now I'm down to 15MB's:(. Thanx for the suggestion... anyone else have any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
Unless you want to underclock it you do not need it, correct.
[G1 Android Development] wbexpress:
Sorry for being a noob, this is all so confusing. So, is there an easy way to create a 3rd partition?

is there any way to revert to original lockscreen..? not a big fan of the battery img..maybe a setting to show/not show stericson lockscreen..
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
type this exactly in your terminal emulator (without the $ and #)

$ su
# cd /data
# wget http://64.105.21.209/bin/lib/droid/sdsplit
# chmod 555 sdsplit
# cd ..
# /data/sdsplit -nd -fs 6800M

(say yes to the options)

(that gives you 1200M ext3 partition perfect forever)

# reboot
[G1 Android Development] yomamaster:
Battery life extended?

@Cyanogen -

I know you tweaked it thinking it'd increase battery life, but it seems substantially improved without any loss of responsiveness.

I'll let you know on Monday once it goes through a day of normal use on a business day, but so far so good!

If you truly did increase battery life, you've reached God-like status.
[G1 Android Development] xdavidn88:
temporizer, i had ext2 partition via apptosd2 app.

should I be good? it showed up on my secondary storage as 900 something which i set but after i flashed hero theme, it disappeared.

should i be good still? apps are running fine.

i feel like making a ext3 partition just for the hell of it... if I did the terminal steps you posted, will it affect anything? or am I fine with ext2 via max's apptosd2.
[G1 Android Development] wbexpress:
OK, so far so good. It did reboot, do I now go to recovery & do the "fix" thing? Nothing has changed in the sd settings yet. Was it supposed to show anything different immediately?

[/QUOTE]
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
what does it say for your sd card secondary in settings > sd card?
[G1 Android Development] lazaro17:
ok just wipe and re-flashed, still having address book issue.

can anyone else confirm if they're having this same issue?

go to contacts and use the right rolodex thingy to jump to a certain letter. Mine is out of sync and scrolls random letters in lowercase and uppercase.

other than that build is solid as usual

thanks cyanogen
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
[/QUOTE]

when you were doing the above commands, did it say it completed successfully?

if it did, you should see sd card secondary say a much higher number than last time...

if not, it didn't work.

are you at a point where you have no problems wiping?

if so, reboot and wipe, and reflash 3.6.2.
[G1 Android Development] xdavidn88:
Before I flashed the hero theme, it said:

Sd card secondary storage

Total space

907 MB

Available space

783 MB

Internal phone storage

Available space

55 MB

After I flashed it, it wouldn't show the sd card secondary storage category at all. It shows like a stock phone.

Sd card available

sd card used

Internal Phone mem

factory reset
[G1 Android Development] hyoomen:
Not reproducible on my 3.6.2 phone (without wipe). Can you expound on 'screwy'?

edit: saw your expansion on the problem above. I'm reflashing to make sure I updated properly the first time (mod version showing 3.6.1 in 'Settings') and I'll let ya' know.
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
Same issue. thats weird. you scroll and it's just random characters instead of alphabetical.

Cyan, see that?
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
It's the hero theme that is causing that, i had the same problem, so i stopped using the hero theme. lol. you can install the theme template from the first post as a new theme and get it back to normal. (rename to update.zip. it removes hero theme and sets to default theme)

before flashing, you had an ext partition, the theme didn't make it disappear, just changed the settings tab. (remember, the settings tab is a cyanogen build hack)

you should be fine with your a2sd :)
[G1 Android Development] kyleds:
do i need to wipe?

hey guys,

sorry if this is a noobish question but I'm unsure about it. If I have cm 3.6.1 + aero1.5 theme.... do I have to wipe or not before i update to 3.6.2 and flash theme again?
[G1 Android Development] xdavidn88:
oh okay. thanks for the quick response and help temporizer!!!
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
I literally just finished upgrading to the CM 3.6.2 ROM about 5 minutes ago and it completely wiped my HTC Hero theme. So, my guess is yes...

I did NOT wipe, just installed on top of it.
[G1 Android Development] hyoomen:
Alright, I spoke too soon and hadn't gotten 3.6.2 on (that's what I get for not paying attention to an apparent change w/ the flashing procedure in Cyanogen's new recovery package and asking somebody at work to watch my phone and reboot it for me).

Getting the seemingly random characters as well -- perhaps a file didn't get properly signed or something?

*shrug* Certainly one of the silliest and least concerning 'bugs' I've seen so far! Time for me to race out to my car and test out whether Cyanogen's audio mixing tweak has fixed my sound headache.
[G1 Android Development] wbexpress:
Apparently it did. I got all kinds of numbers that in perfect hindsight I probably should have written down, but it did say something was successful. I guess I will have to wipe. I hate doing it, it takes soooo long to set everything up right. Is it possible that I never had a secend partition? I used the Windows Enabler method to create the second partition. Is that valid, as far as you know? Re: the script you just gave me: "if" I were to completely wipe the card, format it so it was fat32, is there a script like the one for the presumed 3rd partition that I could run to create a second one first, just so I'm doing apples to apples before trying to create a 3rd?

when you were doing the above commands, did it say it completed successfully?

if it did, you should see sd card secondary say a much higher number than last time...

if not, it didn't work.

are you at a point where you have no problems wiping?

if so, reboot and wipe, and reflash 3.6.2.[/QUOTE]

some screwy things going on. might be just me tho. I formatted my card with paragon..500mb ext3 and 500mb fat32.. moved apps to sd after flashing newest ROM.. now have 16MB Internal space?? whats going on? anybodys help will be appreciated

I used paragon partition manager to make all 3 partitions at once. It even runs in windows.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
WTF

I can reproduce it for sure. I have no idea if I caused it or not but I'll look into it.
[G1 Android Development] Jamison904:
do you really need to know how much space you have left on your secondary? I only have 500mb for mine and I don't think I will ever fill it up. Keep your theme;)
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
Paragon

I used paragon partition manager to make all 3 partitions at once. It even runs in windows.[/QUOTE]

I also used Paragon to create my partitions and, for the other noobs - like me - Paragon will create Linux (ext2/3) partitions, even if you're using Windows (I'm using Windows XP). When creating a partition, I have not lost any data, but obviously I can't guarantee you won't.

However, YOU WILL LOSE YOUR DATA IF YOU FORMAT YOUR CARD - even in Paragon.

I'm not sure if you'll lose data using any other partitioning software, maybe someone else can give information on that...
[G1 Android Development] xdavidn88:
the apptosd2 partitioned it to ext2, not ext3.

again, the apps are running fine, phone is fast. no wipe.

so I'm guessing ext2 is good on cyanmod?

CM 3.6.2 and File Swapping

Since the CM ROMs automatically provide Apps2SD, is it necessary to have or use file swapping? Is there still a benefit?

I tried File Swapper and nothing seemed to change, not speed, memory, or anything.

Are you sure it's Hero? I'm running CM 3.6.2 and Hero Theme 1.4.5, but I'm showing 66MB Internal Storage.

Rebooting into recovery, wget[ing] updates

I apologize in advance if I got the thread wrong. Since you are very prolific with the improvements, the following procedure would be most efficient.

1)In settings, check if there is a version above currently installed.

2)wget it (if desired) into /sdcard/update.zip

3)from the power menu reboot into recovery

4)nandroid backup

5)flash the update

6)reboot into the new mod.

Kind of your own OTA update?!
[G1 Android Development] xdavidn88:
What about your sdcard secondary storage?
[G1 Android Development] Binary100100:
3.6.2 doesn't like themes?

I'm having some issues getting a theme (gloss) on this.

I've updated the 3.6.2 and it installs and boots up fine.

I install my theme (slightly modified* but never had issues before) and it ends up in a boot loop.

I try a wipe and I can get it to install but can't go past the settings screen and I get a lot of android.phone (or whatever) force closes.

I reboot (used the new shortcut... pretty handy) and do a fix_permissions.

No difference.

Maybe it's the .png window for Phone options that requires to be resized for the new "reboot phone" option?

I was thinking that it has something to do with the services.jar or android.policy.jar so I removed those files in the theme and replaced them with the files in the 3.6.2 update and I get the same thing.

Any ideas?

*All I modify in the theme is removing the apps, change fonts and add new ringtones to the system/media/audio directory.
[G1 Android Development] ohmarni:
tehseano posted that he is going to try to fix the theme so we can enjoy these features.
[G1 Android Development] revwillie:
Saw that one coming ;) The JFupdater app actually senses when an 'update.zip' is present in /sdcard and asks you if you'd like to apply it. I was too scared to try this option on CM builds, but I'd personally love to have a mini-app included in the CM future builds that does exactly that.

But seriously Cy, if you haven't taken a break today and just relaxed, go for it. You deserve it.
[G1 Android Development] wbexpress:
Oye. Sometimes you just get lucky & step into the right stuff. I re-flashed, did the "repair" thing, got an error that said to go to the console & do e2fsck (no clue what that all means), was ready to give up, rebooted, NOW sd card "secondary" says 1,282 MB, "available" says 1,147MB, and the internal phone storage says 83MB. Does this sound like what it should be saying? So, assuming it's now right, if I add new apps, do I physically need to do anything to get them onto the card? I think I'm gonna leave well enough alone & stick with this build no matter what (until the next thing comes along:D). BTW, I free- downloaded Paragon 9.0 at one point to try with this process, it did not seem to do what Mr. Kaysezose's screenshots showed. I trial-downloaded version 10.0 but obviously it does not allow you to actually change anything. Bottom line: is it necessary to spend $40.00 in order to do the partitioning thing with Paragon?

[G1 Android Development] daveid:
I did my usual, built a custom update.zip using my framework-res.apk, services.jar & android.policy.jar (for the white statusbar text), and theme'd apps. Got a boot loop. Unfortunately for me, my last nandroid was from last night (so I lost a few changes here and there). Has something changed that would prevent me from using these files with 3.6.2? If so, is there any way to get them provided with the white text? For now, I am back on 3.6.1 with my full theme. Except I am getting force closes for gapps, will see if a fix permissions can solve that.... Think I got the force close issue, must have removed TmoImProvider.apk at some point in the madness, pushed it back and will know on next boot.

Funny thing, in all this it no longer likes my album art, keeps deleting it. Oh well.. Gotta rebuild that, and this is a lesson, always backup before flashing!
