I'm sure this will be interesting for someone.. It's been sitting under our noses the whole time. Going to include it in the next build.
[G1 Android Development] prash:
You tease.

:P

You know everyone's clammering for exchange support. Don't dangle that meat in front of rabid wolves here!

Awesome though, can't wait!
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I need someone who has access to an Exchange server to tell me if this even works or not :) PM me if you can help.
[G1 Android Development] _Kyros_:
Does this need a wipe install if I'm using the 1.4 Hero theme and CyanogenMod v. 3.6.1? I haven't done this since v. 3.4.6.
[G1 Android Development] ricky05:
any help on this? thank you
[G1 Android Development] Binary100100:
Same problem here. I'm trying to push the files individually and reboot to see if I can pinpoint what it doesn't like.
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
Yeah, something that ties into the framework must have changed (outside of those three files) that is b0rked when trying to replace them with different versions. I am going to sit back on 3.6.1 for now, except, now my market doesn't seem to be downloading.. Gotta fix that.. ;)

Well, I ended up rebuilding my 3.6.1 theme'd update because I had all sorts of issues after my fiasco with the boot loop followed by an older nandroid update, etc... Market wouldn't download, replaced the TmoImProviders.apk and still got force closes (even after a fix_permissions) on google.gapps each boot. If I still don't have any luck, guess I can wipe and start anew later.. Hope that isn't needed though.
[G1 Android Development] Binary100100:
Well I tried changing my update.zip file so that it includes the jar files and that had no effect. And for some reason it won't take my Launcher.apk that I'm trying to push over to it. I never had a problem with it before and the only thing that is different is the wallpapers in the gallery.

I look at it this way though... I get to use the hell out of the restore! :p
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
False alarm. I guess we won't get this until Google merges the rest of Donut into the repository. It's unfinished code.
[G1 Android Development] prash:
Damn I was trying to get the details on my workplace's exchange server since I didn't have it handy and was going to PM you about testing it out.

Well its a good sign in the right direction on google's part at least.
[G1 Android Development] Jamison904:
I didn't have any issues when I was on Ext2. Plus if you have Cyanogen's recovery image installed (1.2 or newer) you can open in recovery mode and hit 2 buttons and format to ext3 in less then 3 seconds. :cool: Have fun.
[G1 Android Development] Jamison904:
no wipe needed. Works like a charm for me
[G1 Android Development] _Kyros_:
Ok, thanks for the info.
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
Yeah.. I had to go back to 3.6.1 (with a bit of work), to keep my white statusbar text. Had some issues along the way, but I think I am good to go now, no force closes upon bootup (yeah!), gotta try a market download. Oh, that worked too. Alright, guess I will hold off on 3.6.2 till someone get's the white text mod working with it.
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
i actually changed my statusbar to hero green and left text/clock black. This way i can still run hero theme and have the awesome lockscreen changes.
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Quick question about odex files...

Is it still useful to run gen_odex.sh with this mod?

Its a shell script the loops through /data/app/*.apk and calls dexopt-wrapper on each application...
[G1 Android Development] babauv:
Same thing here...very weird!
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Odexing is kind of useless, it's the exact same thing as what Android already does when you boot the system or install apps (those files in dalvik-cache are the odex files). Also, the startup script deletes any .odex files out of /data/app, so you don't want to odex that stuff for sure.
[G1 Android Development] NeoBlade:
The contacts thing is a known issue I believe... I use StarContact myself instead of the default one but I'm sure there will be a fix when its good and ready, its not a total deal breaker or anything.

Great work on the updates though Cyanogen and indeed the Recovery image too ^_^
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
I think you should reconsider putting out a hero ROM.

I've been playing around with the jachero ROM all day and I must say I'm very impressed. One thing that is certain, sense UI was not designed to run on anything less than 288 megs. Running rosie on the g1 is fairly painful. It slows down the phone too much and takes up too much RAM.

What I have been doing is using the android launcher and with that, I get extremely good performance with hero. Its almost on par with cyanogen 3.6.x in terms of speed and performance (24meg swap with 10 swappiness).

I don't really care too much for the bloated htc widgets (i've deleted all of them), but the biggest reason to run the hero ROM is for the browser. It is so much better than the 1.5 browser. The browser should be reason enough to put out a hero ROM. The hero browser runs faster than the 1.5 browser. Its pretty clear that htc has upgraded the javascript engine as javascript heavy sites run much better with the hero browser. Scrolling is very fast and the multi-touch implementation works very well. Not to mention it supports flash.

Its up to you whether you want to put out a hero ROM, but the hero browser is so good that even with the current crop of bugs (hopefully they get BT working soon), I've made the switch.

I would love to see what you can do with the HERO rom.
[G1 Android Development] resist:
Does anyone know how i could get a three screen launcher and still have it respect the orientation settings? I know I can install the launcher from one of the earlier builds but then i lose the option to turn off the launchers rotation.
[G1 Android Development] code72:
noob question!

Is it possible to add only hero browser as update.zip in any rom? It would be great!
[G1 Android Development] marshallladd:
Download the android manifest zip from the auto-rotate thread.

Unzip the launcher.apk you are going to use to get three screens.

replace the manifest.xml in the launcher.apk with the one you downloaded, resign the launcher and the update and that should work.

Is that what you are looking for?

Also, I just don't like the HERO roms. I prefer the simplicity of "basic" android, with some ports from HTC. But that's personal opinion. Keep up the amazing work on your roms Cyanogen.
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
I don't know but that wouldn't be a bad idea, as thats really the only thing I need from the hero ROM.

The album app is actually quite nice too as it supports multi-touch.

The htc calendar app is bloated and slow, I'd rather run the google calendar app. The dialer is decent, not much better than stock though.
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
I wouldn't mind seeing a stripped down version of the hero rom that gets rid of the sense UI and bloat as it doesn't run very well on the g1 anyways due to RAM.

The hero browser so much better than 1.5. Double tap to zoom in and zoom out works great! Tapping once still centers the text, which I love as well.
[G1 Android Development] marshallladd:
That I wouldn't mind seeing that, but if you get rid of sense UI, don't you just have a crippled version of android then?
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
What I mean by sense UI is the "rosie.apk" home replacement along with the htc widgets, and just using the android home app. Those 2 things take up huge gobs of RAM.

Getting rids of those 2 things make the HERO run very fast. And its not crippled at all, all existing android apps run fine.
[G1 Android Development] irishrally:
I was running 3.5.2 and everything was working fine until I foolishly attempted to use app2sd app to partition my new SD card. After a reboot I could never get past the green Android screen. I tried a wipe and updated to 3.6 stable version while I was at it. When I reboot I get past the green android screen and to the silver android screen and then it goes to the setup screen where its asks you to touch the screen to get started. When I touch the screen nothing registers. None of the buttons work. After a few seconds it goes back to the silver android screen, stays there for a bit, and then goes back to the getting started screen. It keeps repeating this cycle.

Any ideas how to fix this would be great. I might just try going back to 3.5.2 in the meantime to see if that still works.
[G1 Android Development] resist:
Thanks but...that doesn't do it. I already know how to install the 3 screen launcher. However, I want the launcher to stop rotating when I uncheck it in settings. That doesn't seem to work even if I apply the manifest from that thread.
[G1 Android Development] hotadef:
google, tmobile or htc should have this man on pay roll he really does a great job. this is hacking at the finest. but if they gave him the keys to the system wow. i wonder what we would be working with. like my baby daughter say wow wow wubbzy
[G1 Android Development] cidica:
try wiping your sd card if you have a ext partition and doing another wipe on the phone.
[G1 Android Development] stellarman:
With this ROM, you don't need to run app2sd. You just need to provide an ext2/3/4 partition for the system to work with. If you do use the apps2sd program, you should be using the original version, not apps2sd2. That (apps2sd2) is a whole separate way of doing apps2sd that may conflict with the built-in apps2sd in the build and could be giving you the problems you are experiencing.

Apps to SD is not complicated, people. Partition your card, flash the ROM. Don't get into more significance and complexity than that. If you insist on getting significant and complex, then at least read the threads on apps2sd until you understand it. Be glad we are not still back in the era when you had to type all the commands by hand to set it up (as we did when I started using apps to SD).

</rant>

Sorry to unload on you. I hope you get it worked out. I just get incredibly tired of seeing the endless stream of questions about apps2sd. Especially when Cyanogen has made it so easy.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Thanks for this, I completely forgot about things like optipng and pngcrush.
[G1 Android Development] irishrally:
I wasn't asking about apps2sd. I was asking why 3.5.2 worked fine but 3.6.2 does not for me. I added the piece on apps2sd just in case it was pertinent. I know this ROM has it's own built in apps2sd but I did not have software to partition the card so I was trying to use the apps2sd2 to partition the card but not to actually move any apps to sd.

To other poster, I tried wiping again and it did not help. I'm still looping between silver android screen and the "tap the android to begin" screen.
[G1 Android Development] ttabbal:
Paragon has a free trial, and the gpartd bootCD is open source. There's also SDSplit if you want to use the G1 to do the partitioning. I'm a newb to the G1 and I would never have thought to use apps2sd for this. The giant warning in the first post of this thread had a fair bit to do with that though. :D

I'm not sure about your issue, but if you can get to the recovery console, e2fsck is a good place to start with any issues regarding apps2sd stuff. You could also try flashing to an older version without a2sd support to get things sorted out then flashing back.
[G1 Android Development] DavidChill:
Yep i'm having the same issue. Also, i'm seeing that certain things are getting removed from the build when updating to 1.4.5 Hero Theme. Such as the Reboot feature, notification bar when locked and others listed on the Hero Theme thread.
[G1 Android Development] NeoBlade:
That's due to the theme itself and not Cyanogen's ROM. I believe the Hero 1.4.5 theme thread actually states that it is a known issue that such features are removed if you flash the theme (check the first thread of the Hero theme thread). Not much can be done about that unless either someone posts the xml/apk files needed to push back, or if the author creates a CM friendly theme.
[G1 Android Development] lukekirstein:
Hi, I'm one of the developers from the Hero-theme thread trying to work out why the theme isn't compatible with CM.

From what we know so far, it's the Settings.apk program that is causing the different problems with CM. There are different additions in the Settings.apk from the Hero theme that help enable things like the Hero transistions and other theme-related things to Hero.

Since CM's Settings.apk is being overwritten by the theme, it causes confliction problems when CM looks for CM settings in the Hero-based Settings.apk. Thus, anarchy ensues.

One of the problems I've seen personally is that HTC_IME stops working and any programs using a data connection fail to connect. Again, problems related with the Settings.apk

I'd imagine the Reboot Phone option is the same problem.

From what I think would work, is to swap out the Settings.apk in the Hero theme so that we're using CM settings. However, this may disable some features. This is most likely something for the developers of CM or Hero-theme to sort out.

I've also read that the Launcher.apk can cause some problems as well because of the differences between again, CM and Hero-theme, but I don't know what those problems are.

So what can we do about this? :]
[G1 Android Development] fachicoz:
After updating from 3.4.2, the market now hangs at "starting download..." for free programs or "Authorizing credit card..." for pay ones. I've done a lot of searching and can't seem to find a solution that works.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[G1 Android Development] NeoBlade:
I jumped straight to 3.5.1 when it was out myself but I remember having some issues downloading from the market. After a few attempts though it did work fine so I presumed it was an issue at Google's end. Have oyu tried it with WiFi/3G by any chance?

Also try cancelling the download, then re-download it again straight away and see what happens.
[G1 Android Development] lukekirstein:
Try wiping. After updating from such a jump like that, I would have wiped. A lot of things change over that span of time! If not, I have a fix that you can try. PM me if you need it.
[G1 Android Development] NeoBlade:
That's a good point, a wipe after such a jump from builds would help as well. It could also be a permissions thing but one step at a time :P
[G1 Android Development] fachicoz:
I did wipe prior to installing, reformatted the sd card, used the sdcard filesystem check thing in the new recovery image (updated that from cyanogen's 1.2 to 1.3.1 during this process so that is another potential source of the problem), wiped again, tried reinstalling again, tried stopping the download then restarting it, found some info on google talking about this relating to googletalk so tried a few things relating to that, tried fixpermissions in case it related to something with that. This is quite frustrating. :-\
[G1 Android Development] NeoBlade:
I bet it is >_< Hmm... Have you tried it via WiFi or only 3G? I remember a long time ago there was an issue with what type of data connection you were using that affected the market, but it shouldn't affect it now.

I take it you've also tried a reflash of the ROM? Its 5am over here and my brain is running out of suggestions >_<
[G1 Android Development] fachicoz:
Sorry, forgot to mention that part. I tried through 3G and wifi, both protected and unprotected networks (I read something somewhere about that possibly making a difference) also tried forcing the connection to open by running the browser and loading webpages during all 3 methods. Also tried switching wifi on and off while attempting to download.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Market issues probably aren't the fault of the ROM. Google seems to have a lot of this going on lately.
[G1 Android Development] sxfx:
Hey guys I'm coming from JACHero build. Didn't have any major problems. But speed is a must for me so here I am. I tried search already.

So my question is what's the news on flash for this rom?
[G1 Android Development] xidominicanoix:
no flash .. i believe only hero roms have it
[G1 Android Development] asn1:
Internal memory decreasing consistently even after apps2sd

I am a noob to cyan's rom's. I am seeing a gradual decrease in the internal storage even after doing apps2sd (the built in way). My ext memory also is decreasing which means that apps2sd working. My internal memory now says 42 mb. Do I need to do anything to bring it back to > 70? Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] NeoBlade:
Far as I'm aware Flash isn't functional in this build nor Dude's (unless he's keeping something for today...). I'm not even sure how good Flash would even run on the G1 to make it worthwhile to be honest... As it stands I don't miss it on a mobile device.

@fachicoz

Probably best to give it a few hours as Cyanogen has mentioned, Google has struggled with this issue in the past
[G1 Android Development] fachicoz:
Yeah I see that a lot of people are having this issue with quite a few different roms. I ask about the problem here since the market was working fine this morning and the problems arose immediately after updating.

I did back up most of my apps using astro prior to updating so I should be able to reinstall them without the market (providing I can get astro installed without using the market) but this isn't a good long term solution.
[G1 Android Development] NeoBlade:
Next time backup Astro so its on your SD card so you can re-install it via your mobile. You can of course install all your apps via ADB as well which is faster.
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
Good morning cyan (or at least it is in the uk) any new updates today or am I safe to stick with 1.3.1 and 3.6.2 for a little while? Haha only asking cos you seem to do a new build every day to remove bugs that most people don't find till new version is out haha, keep up the good work :)
[G1 Android Development] babauv:
I have the same problem, you're not alone
[G1 Android Development] ei8htohms:
I had this issue this morning

I tried to download a couple of paid apps after updating to 3.6.1 and they both hanged (hung?) on downloading with no progress for several hours. I flashed several ROMs today (don't make fun, you know you've done it!) and eventually it worked itself out and the programs downloaded.

Wish I had more info about what solved it, but I'm on 3.6.2 now and all seems well AFAICT.
[G1 Android Development] tanner2007:
The v3.6.2 wont flash a theme

a jf ADP 1.51 theme i have used for every single build you made worked but this time every time (i downloaded it three times) loops on boot and when i do a wipe with your recovery image and yet i still see the themes boot image and then loads up, the process phone or what ever crashes, until i restore from a nandroid build, this happen 3 times and all the same problem
[G1 Android Development] MTechRD:

Anybody know something about this????

Anybody help me with this?
[G1 Android Development] NeoBlade:
SIM Services? Not sure what you mean by that... To import SIM contacts? Or to select mobile networks, APNs etc?
[G1 Android Development] bountyhunter:
Hi Cyanogen,

Firstly I want to thank you for your latest ROM and Recovery, especially the Menu Recovery with Nandroid backup/restore.

The 3.6.2 ROM seems to have a little issue with the contact. When I drag the scroll bar of the contact, it does not scroll alphabetically and the alphabet does not match each contact. Can you please fix this little problem?
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Sometimes just cancelling and redownloading it does the trick.

Yeah there are some possibly incompatible changes in 3.6.2. I made a new theme template for this version though.

I added Stk.apk back for the next release. You can just grab it from another build or AOSP if you need it asap.
[G1 Android Development] NeoBlade:
Its a known issue with the contacts and I'm sure when he's free a fix will be posted in good time ^_^ Ever tried StarContact though? Makes finding contacts with one hand in portrait mode easier for me.
[G1 Android Development] xidominicanoix:
Idk if its the hero theme, but when im in the contacts page, I don't even get the tab to quick scroll.. so i cant even see this bug :P

also whats the sim toolkit good for anyway?

EDIT: reading the wiki now ;)
[G1 Android Development] sxfx:
It run really well on the Hero build which needs a swap to run smoothly on g1, so Im sure the g1 is fully capable of running flash :)...
[G1 Android Development] NeoBlade:
Pretty sure it is capable as its part of the Hero build but just wondering how useful it really is. Then again it must be with Symbian having it included in its latest version as well. I suppose having it for streaming video sites would be handy as well to watch media.

Good question on the SIM toolkit too...
[G1 Android Development] mygti02:
hopefully some one can help me out here. I installed the newest version. I have been trying to find the guide to setup Swap space, but cant find it. Also is it compatible with these builds?

thanks so much in advance :)
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Yep, its fixed for the next build!
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
Secondary Storage

Total = 1,449MB

Available - 1,272MB
[G1 Android Development] xidominicanoix:
hey cyanogen, quick question: one i grabbed the Stk.apk and push it to my phone, how exactly do i use it? it doesnt appear in my list of apps...
[G1 Android Development] ttabbal:
Having a bit of trouble. It works great but I get lockups after a while. I haven't been able to narrow it down much. I wiped, disabled swap, and did an "rm -rf /system/sd" from the recovery console before flashing the new ROM to eliminate any apps that might be running in the background. I also checked the MD5 on the phone for both the recovery image and the ROM before flashing. Current versions are:

Recovery: CM 1.3.1

ROM: CM 3.6.2

No third party apps, a swap partition exists, but isn't being used. Verified from "free" at the terminal emulator. 4Gig class 6 SD card. The card has been used in other devices and seems to work fine.

Most frequently, the phone locks up while the screen is sleeping, but I have had it happen once when pulling down the notification bar. It got about half way down and froze there. A battery pull is the only way I've found to get out of there. It reboots fine, but I've also done the e2fsck after pulling the battery and it checks out fine. I've had the ext partition formatted as ext2, ext3, and now as ext4. No change.

Any ideas would be great, I'm a bit at a loss. I'd really like to get this working right. :D

EDIT:

After trying again to do a clean install, I couldn't even get past the "tap the android" screen. The google app died with a force close. So I decided to try the 1Gig SD the phone came with and it's working fine for now, though a little slower. I installed newsrob so that the phone would be busy overnight and I'll put it on the charger to see how it goes. Weird if it is the card, it's been working fine for other stuff. Maybe Cyano just pushes it harder than it can handle. :)
[G1 Android Development] nxt:
APN LIST?

I've been using Cyanogen since version 3.4x, in the list it says:

Includes Haykuro's APN list

So what exactly is this?

Is it in Settings/Wireless Controls/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names/ ???

I only see T-Mobile US (epc.tmobile.com)

On a stock non rooted, normal G1, with my T-Mobile SIM, I have like TONS of APNs in there, but with Cyanogen saying it 'Includes Haykuro's APN list', there's only 1?

Is this right?
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
Any way you can provide a theme template that gives white text in the status bar? I use a black background, and am sitting on 3.6.1 because I couldn't port my theme over (boot loops). This would be a great help, thanks.
