Just upgraded from 3.4.1 to 3.4.4 - did some housekeeping first (chkdsk and defrag on the FAT partition, used cyanogen's recovery utility to check the ext partition). Upgrade was seamless - took only a few minutes more than the normal reboot, and the phone was kicking tail right from the jump.

Decided to throw the Hero theme on there (but not before a Nandroid backup). Cleared out my home screen first based on some of the posts I've read; went very smoothly, but took a looooooooong time for that first boot (while I nervously awaited the return of my home screen).

This ROM + Hero Theme = G1-ly Goodness. Cyanogen, you rock!
[G1 Android Development] fawaad:
I agree with the previous comment. First time boot was waaaaaaaay long..

Anyways, there is something special with this update.. its fastest rom ever.

Really ressponsive.

Perfected it with 5 desktop screens. 5 stars for this one.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
This is what I used to see on ROMs prior to 3.4.3, but no matter what I do, I can't make it happen on the new versions.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Yep, it's just dexopt running. If you are nervous you can hook up USB and run "adb logcat" to see what it's doing.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Yes it moves your apps automatically assuming you have created an ext2/ext3 partition on your SD card.
[G1 Android Development] rrstx:
well I wiped the device twice, reinstalled 3.4.4, wiped again, but when android starts up, it seems that the program launcher is installing a bunch of apps and then weatherbug consistently causes a force close. Unfortunately my work pc is locked down and I cannot create a logcat file via 'adb logcat -f logcat.txt' I would like to capture the entire boot sequence for you. I may have to wait until this evening when I can get to my laptop.
[G1 Android Development] question.com:
i had the issue in the past with weatherbug. i suggest uninstalling it, and reinstalling. also, it may fix it self if you open up the app and it gets your location.
[G1 Android Development] mayormullet:
Hey cool I just had a spontaneous reboot. Seemed to happen when I woke up my computer (it was charging while in standby mode). Any way to tell what caused it? It's been running really smooth up until now.
[G1 Android Development] rrstx:
I figured the wipe would clear the /app directory. I am curious as to why it is installing all those programs that are stored in the /app directory?
[G1 Android Development] dq11:
I have not modified sysctl.conf and I had the coma problem happen once out of the blue. I am on a clean wiped install of 3.4.4 . I did create a new ext3 partition but have not loaded any new apps yet. What file do you have to tweak to underclock to 384 MHz. During the coma, the battery did warm up noticeably and i had to pop out the battery to get out of that condition. It has not happened since.
[G1 Android Development] bittermormon:
The Weatherbug force close is because the program doesn't know what your location is so it freaks out trying to set up the notification bar.

Just open the program and let it find your location and you'll be fine, or you could uninstall and reinstall, but who has time for that??
[G1 Android Development] rrstx:
I backup up all my apps with Astro, move them to my local drive then I run a bat file that will reinstall all the programs if I need to. I am thinking about clearing the app folder completely, doing another wipe/reinstall and letting the system try and do a clean load without reinstalling any apps. does this sound like a feasible thing to do. Running weatherbug cleared the force close. I have done that before, just forgot. thanks for the reminder.
[G1 Android Development] :
Hey!

I really love your work ;)

It would be fine to have a little bit larger caller images like on hero(google contact images a little bit scaled). Can you include this feature?
[G1 Android Development] rrstx:
Here's an oddball situation. I attached the logcat for it. the phone is just sitting idle and I get this repeated loop. I am able to swipe the screen and it appears to be functioning fine. i am also able to run a program and it also appears to be running fine.
[G1 Android Development] rrstx:
reboot resolved the loop. doing a mount/unmount brought it back! reboot resolved the loop, again.
[G1 Android Development] mfrey0118:
"4. Can I use AUFS/UnionFS for Apps2SD?

We've discovered that this method has too many issues, it has been replaced with bind mounts and symlinks."

OK it's noob time. So I use LucidREM's script for louder volume and to check the symlinks. It says that "system/sd/app" and "/system/sd/app-private" are linked but that /data/data and data/dalvik-cache are not. I have already used recovery 1.2 to make sure all apps have been moved to sd.

My question is this: what exactly, has been bound? Should I attempt to symlink /data/data and /data/dalvik-cache or are those the ones that are bound and should be just fine if left alone?
[G1 Android Development] TheMan42:
dalvik cache

Question, someone said they clear their dalvik cache every update to refresh their system and apeed things up. Is this really beneficial and how would I do this myself?
[G1 Android Development] rrstx:
well here is the logcat from doing the mount/unmount with my subsequent reboot.
[G1 Android Development] Kwincy:
A+++!

I upgraded yesterday to 3.4.3 from JF1.51, and it was awesome. JF1.51 was so slow, and apps took forever to launch. JF1.51 also disabled my USB headphones which is a big no-no. 3.4.4 is the best and fastest ROM I've ever used! Everything works, including my headphones.

Thank you!
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Weird, vold crashed? Can you get the output of "dmesg" from adb shell too?
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
DON'T USE ANY OTHER A2SD STUFF ON THIS ROM, like the first post says, thanks :) You don't even have to move anything at all, the ROM does it all for you.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Do you have filesystem corruption? Go into recovery and run "e2fsck -f /dev/block/mmcblk0p2". Haven't seen errors like this before and I don't know if I can correlate it to this ROM or not.
[G1 Android Development] sosasami:
Hi Guys,

I'm really sorry for the newb question. I tried to read but there are 329 posts by now and it gets all confusing :)

What do I need to do to move apps to sd with this rom?

Do I just need to format the partition to ext3 as stated in the first post - will all apps then be moved to the sd (system + user)?

What about apps already on the device?

many thanks,

Sami.
[G1 Android Development] rrstx:
Hopefully this captures what you are looking for. I rebooted a couple of times before seeing this message.
[G1 Android Development] al74:
All you need is the ext3 or ext2 partition. The apps will move automatically after you install the rom.
[G1 Android Development] rrstx:
well a quick mount/unmount gave me the loop again.

here is the dsm msg from that.
[G1 Android Development] mfrey0118:
uh, ok I didn't know if you knew about LucidREM's script first and second if you considered it an "A2SD stuff", I thought you were only referring to the actual app by maximus and it's many versions...but tks for the answer.

OK how about this one...what about the caches? Can I still move my browser cache, etc or is that taken care of too? If I can, has anyone tried it and is it stable?
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
No, you'll have to move caches on your own.
[G1 Android Development] Jason Syn:
I figured out what was causing my boot loop issue! I was an idiot and running the apps2sd script on top of the ROM doing it itself. Just let the ROM do it's job and now no more boot looping! Hope this helps some of you.

BTW, this ROM is amazing! Uber fast, nice and clean, no issues with the phone not coming out sleep state! I'm happy! :D

Do you recommend it? (Beer's on the way, btw I'll sell you my first born if you teach me Linux)
[G1 Android Development] ronyoung08:
quick question...

i used your rom and i pushed my apps to the ext2 partition with your recovery image...

i did a wipe, but when i reboot i dont see of my apps i pushed, but the ones that i downloaded off the market
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Wow, the OOM killer is raping your system. Never saw anything like that before. Could it be the dosfsck that runs after unmounting causing it due to severe corruption? I would try running chkdsk or dosfsck on your VFAT partition, and e2fsck -f on your ext partition for starters.
[G1 Android Development] ShatBag1105:
IGreat scott marty! Hes done it!

I dont know how he did it but 3.4.4. Is amazing. No more browser crashes and constant reloading. The browser flys like it was on 3G when im only on edge. I cant wait to see it on 3G! And navigating through the phone is blazing fast.

And hahahaha all the recent praise for 3.4.4 is attracting a lot of cyanogen newbs. Here come all the same annoying questions again guys!

Advice for CM MOD newbs:

Just have a partitioned sd card fat32/ EXT3. Cyanogen 3.4.4. Will do the rest of the work for you. Even if youre previous a2sd user, you dont need your precious a2sd app! The point is to link apps to sd in better faster ways, among other awesome tweaks.

Cyanogen ive been with you since 3.2 and i feel i owe u big! My donation will be coming in a few days. No bull****.

Hahahaha all this means is 3.4.5 is gonna insane! All thats left is g1 shoots lasers out of the camera eye or a tweak that allows mind control lol

There's an app in the market for these........... ;)
[G1 Android Development] Kwincy:
Spoke too soon, did a reboot of the G1, got stuck at the android screen for more than 1/2 hour, now USB audio isn't working again.

Doh.
[G1 Android Development] sputnik99:
updated from 3.4.1 with hero theme to 3.4.4. with no issues. Applied hero theme with no issues so far.

Good work cyan, even without your G1. We are still hoping that your G1 arrives in time.
[G1 Android Development] raydekok:
update of the recovery and from 3.4.1 to 3.4.4 and stil running like a rock.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Did you wipe...?
[G1 Android Development] akatragedy:
hero 2 cm 3.4.4

if u flashed over from a hero build u may have 2 wipe your partition if your gettin com.phone.android force close at bootup

from recovery run

#mount /system/sd<enter>

#rm -rf /system/sd/*

WARNING THIS WILL WIPE ALL DATA FROM YOUR EXT2 OR EXT3 PARTITION

AND CYANOGEN im sorry 4 always bothering u on twitter

if u need help and i can help hit me up @ klownprince420@gmail.com

or on twitter klownprince420
[G1 Android Development] richpadg:
Flashed 3.4.4 from 3.4.3 no wipe and then reflashed the Hero theme. Haven't had any problems yet. Haven't installed many apps though, waiting to see what happens.

Anyone know what kind of problems I might run into if I am using an 8gb CLASS 2 sd card? Do I need to use a Class 6?
[G1 Android Development] mlevin:
The Toggle Settings bug as you've described above is driving me crazy, and I'm on the latest JesusFreke build, so it's not unique to Cyanogen.
[G1 Android Development] AsaSpades:
Any word on a theme template yet?
[G1 Android Development] firestrife23:
Great tip! I think Cyanogen should add this feature as "Wipe SD Secondary" option to his recovery image. Cuz it make sense to do Wipe and Wipe SD if someone need totally clean flash.
[G1 Android Development] tricky76:
I updated to 3.4.4 from 3.4.3 with no issues and without wiping. I also re-installed the Hero Theme 1.3.5 right after I updated the ROM. My apps are on my SD card/EXT3 partition.

Everything is working great! Haven't even had to run fix_permissions!
[G1 Android Development] sacredsoul:
Let me get this right. This will wipe the date off the EXT2 or EXT3 partition but the partition will still be there? So would it get deleted? Just to be sure.
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
my phone doesn't vibrate does it have to do with permissions fix? I doesn't vibrate when it rings and it doesn't vibrate when it gets messages I'm using chompsms and I tried the default sms no vibrate and I have missed call installed but my vibrate on my keyboard does work and it vibrates when it starts up and there is haptic feedback I had this issue before on the dude and I never fixed it.

Ok it's only on text messaging and I have had this rom well 3.41 and it worked just fine with all the above apps installed but I did have the hard spl not the new spl does that matter?
[G1 Android Development] firestrife23:
exactly right
[G1 Android Development] sacredsoul:
So after I run those commands, I will have a clean EXT2 or EXT3 partition? I dont have to run SDSPLIT again right? Sorry I am make absolutely sure. Coz partitioning my SD is a big headache for me since I cant seem to get the partition magic working and have to reply on A2SD or SDSPLIT and they both arent 100% successful. :o
[G1 Android Development] firestrife23:
yes it'll simply deletes the files on that partition, re-partition make no sense tho.
[G1 Android Development] superhansel:
Huge improvement in 3.4.4

New version of the ROM is excellent, has addressed all my previous issues and improved stability and performance significantly. Can't praise Cyanogen's work enough.

Major issue (for me anyway) resolved:

Notification sounds no longer disable audio via USB if received while playing music

Minor issues resolved:

Multiple Force close / Wait's on boot with Toggle Settings

Speed at which applications install greatly improved

Phone hasn't rebooted itself in 6 hours of moderate use, this was something of an issue with 3.4.2

Top work again Cyanogen
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
I am using a 4gb class 2 card, and i am having no lag/fc/permission error thus far.
[G1 Android Development] Jason Syn:
I just got a major bug.

I was on the phone and about 4 minutes into the call I couldn't hear the person anymore. I tried to hang up the call and it wouldn't let me. I kept hitting end and nothing happened. I could go into the menu, get to the desktop, do everything normal except for hang up the call. I had to restart my phone to hang up the phone call.

Then it happened on the call right after that too and the exact same thing happened.

Any ideas anyone?
[G1 Android Development] cidica:
I had that issue with an older version of the rom but not this new one so far. And this was when I did just a upgrade on the build vs a new clean install.
[G1 Android Development] bjehsus:
Dude, is there a way I can not have dalvik-cache mounted on my SD card partition? It would be helpful if your next build would attempt to incorporate some sort of choice of exactly what is on there. =]
[G1 Android Development] Constrabus:
So this rom now automatically pushes apps and cache to SD on first boot with the new version? Im still on 3.4.2 and dont have either or want.

To avoid, just dont boot with a partitioned SD?
[G1 Android Development] Jak Crow:
Here's a minor suggestion for the ROM: A browser bookmark to this thread.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I got my new G1! And I didnt brick it this time!
[G1 Android Development] driguez:
Hell yessirrr!
[G1 Android Development] prash:
Well it finally happened: I finally moved to the present times and did apps 2 sd with this rom as it was intended to do. I removed the .nounion, used recovery to move existing apps 2 sd (not a SINGLE force close btw, just amazing) and then flashed 3.4.4 and it was probably the fastest ROM flash I've seen. Everything works perfectly and even on my class2 it seems fast and smooth.

Thanks a ton for everything Cyanogen!
[G1 Android Development] akatragedy:
yes it wipes only the partition it leaves your ext intact...that terminal code came from CYANOGEN i just figured it would help some1 else:cool:
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
If everything is working fine, do you recommend that I update to the latest SPL 1.33.2005? or is it even needed?
[G1 Android Development] akatragedy:
the new SPL is not needed and there is a chance you can

BRICK

your G1 while flashing but i have it and it does help a little bit (gives you between 80-95mb internally)
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
I too was curious. I have 58 meg free internal storage on Hardspl and was wondering if it would benefit going to the Dangerspl?
[G1 Android Development] savethechicken:
It is not needed for any of Cyanogen's Roms. If all is good would not update to that SPL. You can ask the man (Cyanogen) himself about that one.
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
Yes, in fact all is super. I have been emailing, texting,surfing, tethering via wifi, calling and receiving via BT headset all day without a single hickup. Great job Cyanogen on 3.4.4. This one is a keeper, unless you can outdo yourself.
[G1 Android Development] cidica:
Agreed with a few posts if you do not need the new SPL I would leave it alone. While I do use it I opt'd to NOT install it on my brothers phone even though he wanted the space. There is just to much of a risk to brick your phone with it.
[G1 Android Development] timal:
YES

Rock that boy !
[G1 Android Development] jimbo831:
I am somewhat confused. A lot of people have reported the Toggle Settings force close/wait message as disappearing in the 3.4.4 build. I, however, continue to have this at every reboot. Did people uninstall and reinstall this app or run permissions fixer or anything like that? Have other people updated but continue to have this problem, or is everyone else working? Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
Woot!

VICTORY!!!

I took a chance.

I was able to flash and not brick!

Thank you all for your help

Check it out !!

\/\/\/\/\/
[G1 Android Development] heyoh:
I tried to install Haykuro's SPL after already running an early build of Cyanogen's rom and my phone got stuck at the G1 screen. I had to reflash DREAIMG to get it back. I had the newest radio installed as well. I'm scared to try it again as that was a lot of work to get back to where I am now. I'm running 3.4.4 and loving it! Loved it so much I had to send Cyanogen some beer money last night! :)
[G1 Android Development] r4d14n7:
I've been searching these boards and google but still cant find an A-Z how-to. can someone read through this and just tell me if i have everything in the right order? going from brand new stock 1.1 with pvt board and old radio.

1. format sdcard with an ext2/ext3 partition and a fat32 partition (seperate card, not used for updating)

2. downgrade to rc29 and root

3. set Cyanogen's recovery image

4. flash 26I radio

5. flash HardSPL

6. flash Cyanogen 3.4.4 rom

is this the right order? i can find how-tos on each step but not all in one guide or what order to perform the flashes in. also, which steps should i perform a wipe? any help would be greatly appreciated.
[G1 Android Development] axion68:
That method will work fine. Wipe right before you flash the 3.4.4 rom
[G1 Android Development] cidica:
If I remember right you could of just reinstalling cyan's mod without a wipe (or a wipe) and you should of been fine. That's pretty much how I ended up doing it
[G1 Android Development] jimbo831:
I also noticed another issue, something that I have seen since 3.4 (never got 3.4.1-3.4.3). When I am playing Nesoid, or any of the 3 emulators, I get random lockups. The game will keep playing, but my controls become stuck, meaning it continues using whatever button I was holding and stops responding to new button presses. It lasts about 3-10 seconds and usually gets me killed in Mario :(

Frequently, this delay is followed by a popup of some background app needing to Force Close or Wait, most often it is Maps, Messaging, or Gmail. Does anyone have any idea what this is from. Is it the build or the Apps 2 SD. Based on the reviews of these emulators in the market, it doesn't look like others are experiencing these issues. I know people on other forums that play these emulators and say they work great. Currently these are the best gaming options for the G1 so any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks.

As usualy, awesome job Cyan. Other than this issue, everything runs so perfectly!
[G1 Android Development] fawaad:
Cool thanks. I'll have a look at it next time if something is not looking normal.

so do I have to run the dexopt for every new app I installed manually or does it happen manually?

I believe the dexopt is for optimizing the apps right.
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
It does it automatically.

If you delete the contents of dalvik-cache, dexopt will be run on every apk.
[G1 Android Development] wayne07:
i am still finding problems with the rom at 3.4.4

My experience so far is that the rom is not stable with wifi running.

It seem that the phone likes to go to "sleep" and don't wake until a power recycling and this happens when i uses wifi.

The problem seem to disappear when i stop wifi connection.

Any idea how i can see what has happened to my phone?
[G1 Android Development] Denkai:
did you flip your cache over to SD? the reason your system hangs on to your last input like that is due to the systems processes being deticated somewhere else (mainly the force close) try a reboot.
[G1 Android Development] ScottGood:
I to have this issue, i had no problems all day then I turn on wifi and not 2 hours later the "COMA" happens.

I had Wifi active for 2 hours while charging, i unpluged it and then 10 mins tops out like a light just a white blinking LED.
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
I have been using my phone all day, tethering the laptop to its edge connection via wifi for several hours at a time. Using the phone with and without bluetooth. Travelling with gps and maps active. Playing teeter and using various apps. I have not had to reboot the phone all day. I even made a call while it was tethering to the laptop, and the wifi continued to work after the call. For me 3.4.4 is rock solid.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I made a simple theme template "TheDude-style" for anyone who wants to use it. It's linked in the first post. It contains the app dir, and parts of the framework. If more is needed, let me know.

If anyone comes up with a great theme specific for this ROM and needs a place to host it, PM me, I have plenty of room.
[G1 Android Development] jimbo831:
I don't believe my cache is on the SD. I started with a fresh EXT3 partition back on Cyan's 3.3.5 build originally. Ever since then, I have downloaded most updates and used the default Apps 2 SD included with his builds. I am pretty sure none of these, uses the cache to SD, but please correct me if I am wrong. If it does, how can I change it back to possibly correct this issue?

If it does not, then I have not manually changed it. Do you have any ideas on how this might be prevented or fixed. It just seems odd to only be this one app, but I suppose it is the most tasking app probably. I have tried forcing the CPU to 528mHz with no luck. I have tried several reboots and have tried many times to run the program fresh off of a reboot, and have even made sure to clear all widgets from my home screen, but nothing helps. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] prash:
Let me be the first to say a huge THANK YOU for the theme template, expect themes mostly centered around CM roms from me :D
[G1 Android Development] big_d093:
Can anyone post screen shots of the new theme?? I'm excited to see what it looks like
