Anyone use HelloIM?

I have been unable to change the AIM buddy icon with the last few builds. I believe it just started recently since I've changed icons perfectly fine before.

Oddly enough though, I can click the option to change buddy icon, it loads gallery just fine, but when I click on an image it SHOULD go to the resize/crop picture screen but it kicks me back out in the settings menu with a popup that says "Cannot upload buddy icon. Please ensure that your SD card is properly mounted."

Now since I didn't get to crop the image I'm guessing its not anything to do with SD card mounting, rather its just a default error message they put in for some 'not found' error.

I suspect the app itself is not playing nice with the HTC Gallery, but I wanted to know if its just me that's having this issue. Thoughts?

Okay so I flashed back to JF1.5, have "new and improved apps2sd" working and now just flashed to CM3.1 and apps2sd is still working.

Now I will flash to CM3.2 and see what happens...
[G1 Android Development] Stigy:
Let us know if your internal memory stays really high after the flash of CM3.2 -- that would be awesome.

I am assuming you just did an ALT+W at the boot screen with the CM3.1 at the root of the SD card as update.zip? If so that would be perfect!
[G1 Android Development] Sistum Id:
And its back to 65mb...

Imma reflash back to 3.1 and see what happens.
[G1 Android Development] waldrop_nick:
thanks man .. now my phone wont boot up
[G1 Android Development] Stigy:
So CM3.1 supports Marcus' Apps2SD, but CM3.2 doesn't support it fully, as in it only shows the amount of true internal memory left?

I'd rather have it show how much space I truly have left. Hopefully this can be looked into for CM3.3 -- thanks!
[G1 Android Development] kitsunisan:
Damn, then I'm tapped. Redo the symlinks, I guess.
[G1 Android Development] legaleye2005:
Once it scans and becomes available, does it copy to phone and I can delete from sdcard, or do I have to keep them on there permanently? Thanks- GREAT BUILD!
[G1 Android Development] Sistum Id:
I had a few apps installed on JF1.5 and 3.1 before I went to 3.2. Now they are gone..

I just reflashed back to 3.1 from 3.2 and space is back to 259MB and installed apps came back.

Ill just stay on CM 3.1 until its fixed =0(
[G1 Android Development] rsxtypes72:
Use the new way Marcus way. My phone has a 8 gig card partioned into 6gig fat and 1.5gig ext2. i have 50+ apps and 1437 mb of available space.

follow his directions on here

Of course you have to have the fat and ext2 partions. I have not tried to make a ext3 partion yet.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=512743

if you already had apps2 sd working then simply unzip a2sd.zip in your sdcard. Then go to terminal editor and type the following:

Code:

su

cp /sdcard/init.rc /data/

cp /sdcard/a2sd.sh /data/

then reboot.

your apps are now on sd and you have tons of storage.

Also I would recommend you wipe unless you are updating the same build.

I went from cm3.1 to cm3.2 with no problem.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
There was a build of 3.2 that was up for a few minutes that had a broken unionfs. If you grabbed it right when it was posted, redownload it because I put a fix in.
[G1 Android Development] legaleye2005:
Just wondering what's the advantages of using ext3 over ext2..?
[G1 Android Development] fleshdeep:
not as big news as you guys want but the JF1.5 ADP gloss theme works for this build. Unfortunately it gets rid of the only working rotate at home.
[G1 Android Development] Sheldonjace:
cyanogen....you are god right now. These builds are 100% amazing and I can't get enough. My phone hasn't ran this well in a LONG time.

Even though its just a remix of JF's build (Remixes always rock) I'd rank in performance: Cyanogen's JF1.51 Remix> JF's 1.51> Haykuro XXX> The Dudes 1.2> Etc. (Yes I've ran them all w/apps2sd unionfs).

Not saying who's is better...just performance. Each has great little flavors of their own and they all rock.
[G1 Android Development] fleshdeep:
No bugs whatsoever yet. Speed remains the same as well. Thanks cyanogen! I am adding the htc apps and checking performance.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Ext3 uses journaling and never requires a file system check. It also tends to be faster in various places. Ext2 is very old, and a forced shutdown will require the filesystem to be checked, and Android doesn't have an e2fsck tool yet. This is why people are ending up with corrupt SD card partitions. My ROM includes a "clean" shutdown of the file system, but losing power will still screw your ext2 partition. This doesn't happen with ext3.
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
with ext3, the partition size we can create is basically limitless, correct? (as opposed to ext2 with a 2GB filesize limit)
[G1 Android Development] iso67:
Hi, I now run jf 1.51EU with the Lucid rem apps2sd method. I like this apps2sd and I'd like to keep it, any way to use it with this JFv1.51_CM3.2-ADP? should I wipe?
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Pretty sure you can go to 2 terabytes on Android's kernel.
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
If only there was a microSD card that large. lol. Looks like I'm going to do a 4GB partition. =]
[G1 Android Development] legaleye2005:
That makes sense. So can I just change my partition to ext3 and use apps2sd the same way, or is there some modification involved...? Thanks
[G1 Android Development] njuncos:
I guess i would try to reproduce it by wiping and reflashing, this time w/o the hero theme. If it is working w/o the theme, then theres the problem...
[G1 Android Development] Soulful1:
My thoughts exactly...or until it become as stable as this... :D
[G1 Android Development] SRT102JZ:
just updated from 3.6 to 3.6.1 and i cant pull down the status bar at all while at the lock screen. and i do not have pattern lock set. anybody else having this issue?
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
All the pictures I take with the camera are going into a folder named 100MEDIA now inside the DCIM folder. I also have an empty 100ANDRO folder.
[G1 Android Development] lmfwtw:
Does accepting powertop suggestions reduce the speed of the phone?

It is currently suggesting

Increase the VM dirty writeback time from 5.000 to 15 seconds with

echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/...

Another one it suggest is

Enable the CONFIG_NO_HZ

Enable CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND

Enable CONFIG_HPET_TIMER

in kernel conf option

errr, it never did - its just a look-alike.
[G1 Android Development] estecman:
UPDATE just installed Touch Input apk from my backup folder, and now I can check Touch Input....all works perfect now!
[G1 Android Development] cephaus:
It says the rom will automatically do a2sd Default, but my apps arent on my SD card

Should I partition, wipe, then re-flash?
[G1 Android Development] ronyoung08:
I use HelloIM, and I can't change mine either.
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
For me too, but trying Aero1.5 (CM3.6) had me pull the battery and reflash Cyanogen 3.6.1... First time I've had an update go bad on me.

[G1 Android Development] _Kyros_:
Thanks for the info guys.
[G1 Android Development] ubernicholi:
only VM dirty writeback works

the others are for x86 architecture, which the g1 is not. ignore the recommendations of this app.
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
Stericson,

If i push into the update your services.jar and status_bar.xml for the white clock and date will it affect the lockscreen?

thanks mate
[G1 Android Development] namelessted:
So I have found myself going back to Cyanogen once again with this new verison. I have been playing around with SuperHero and more recently JACHero. The problem with those builds is that they are still way too slow despite the CPU set at 528, enabling a swap file, and several other optimizations. Even when i remove the widgets from the home screen it is very sluggish.

But I find myself liking a lot of the new HTC apps and widgets. I know that simply copying the .apk files and using AppManager won't allow them to be installed. What I am wondering is if there is some way a dev would be able to make apps like HTC Peep to be installed on Cupcake builds because it is better than Twidroid and the Twitter widget would be nice as well.

Aside from that, this new build is fantastic. full auto apps2sd, ext4 support, CPU set to 528 and the whole list of other stuff. keep up the amazing work Cyanogen. Any chance you will be playing around with Hero anytime soon?
[G1 Android Development] _Kyros_:
What's this ime and ContentBroswer folders I see now in my SD card?

hey guys been trying to upgrade from 3.6.0 to 3.6.1 via http://android.v-dh.nl/?m=Updates and when i try to update it says e:Cant chown/mod /data/app

(no such file or directory)

E:Failure at line 17:

set_perm 1000 1000 0771 DATA:app

n then installation aborted..am trying to download the whole 3.61 update n then try again once....but just wanted to let u guys know about it if its a bug or something...

update: i flashed from the 3.6.1 update of 45mb n it just updated fine...
[G1 Android Development] paciotti:
Hi! I have market still not working. I use the newest 3.6.1 rom, but nothing! I need an alternative to flash 3.4.6 before the 3.6 (or 3.6.1).
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
Bugger! Too difficult to switch over to white clock and date?
[G1 Android Development] damokay:
Huge thanks Cyanogen. I was a very happy JF user until a couple of days ago when, just for something to do, I tried 3.4.6. Now running 3.6.0 and I'm loving it - speed, reliability and a pretty lock screen - it is the best!!

I'm off to the bar... :-)
[G1 Android Development] paciotti:
I wipe and flash 3.6.1: all works great. I restore some (not all) backup from "backup for root" and reboot: now the market work, but not the browser!
[G1 Android Development] kevo:
I had the same problem, and fixed it the same way.

I previously used the incremental update to go from 3.4.6 - 3.6 without any problems.
[G1 Android Development] namsir:
how come i always got E connection? ;x
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
so how do we get the carrier name back?
[G1 Android Development] paciotti:
Paciotti say to you all: CYANOGENMOD WORKS COMPLETELY! (and how good works!)

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] sir*mez:
why should that matter. Even if it said Cyanogen I wouldnt care. Android is stock. Would you want a T-mobile startup animation instead of the Android animation?? is your phone not working because of this?? You people are so anal with the little things... blahhhh!!!

to get it back read up on .jar!!! I hope they dont fix this, or they put Cyanogen!!!

EDIT: BTW great job Cyanogen and Stericson!!!!
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
I'm talking about the notification bar and because I have two g1s both unlocked one is t-mobile one is att but I want to try and unlock my 2nd one with all the ones that have a sim card I heard you can do it with the new cricket phones.

they could put it as Cyanogen's %carrier% that would be cool.
[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
Am I missing something? Where is this great lock screen I keep hearing about?
[G1 Android Development] Radeonus:
Auto-rotate doesn't work anymore.
[G1 Android Development] kevo:
The fancy battery status image and nice sharp fonts. (The box that shows before the pattern lock screen)

Works fine here.
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
sometimes happens after a flash. A wipe and reflash should fix it.
[G1 Android Development] MoebiusPT:
First post on this thread.

First of all a big thumbs up to Cyanogen, this MOD is wonderfull.

Second, I can confirm that on 3.6.1, when one does a slide down of the top bar, instead of the Carrier name, there is this:

Auto-rotate is still working.
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
+1. I like how it now says android. TBH i couldn't give a flying truck what it says anyway. Keep up the top work....

Also, i love how you can drag the notification bar down from the lockscreen- is it possible to make it so you can do it even with pattern lock enabled? thx
[G1 Android Development] damokay:
Are you running 3.6.0 or 3.6.1? - I don't remember seeing it in 3.4.6. It's got a nice image of the battery life.
[G1 Android Development] sethrd:
Any chances of getting a launcher with 5 icons across instead of the normal 4? I feel as if there is too much unused space in the launcher..
[G1 Android Development] ScottGood:
I second that. If this is possible you could just call it 3.5.1v2 instead of 3.5.2 unless you do more tweaking then call it what you will. :cool:
[G1 Android Development] namsir:
Nice build....he added Mod Version in "About Phone" :D

mine is 3.6.1

kernel = 2.6.29

baseband = 62.50s.20.17h_2.22.19.26i
[G1 Android Development] lasseaagren:
Thank you for the info!

I have now set the swappiness to 60 and it seems to run really nice.

.. and thank you to Cyan for all the good work.

[G1 Android Development] stainless:
Im using v3.6.1. If I change the locale to German the lock screen shows "connect your charger" for the battery status while not charging. On English locale it shows percentage of the battery. What is wrong?
[G1 Android Development] endolin:
I can confirm that on the german locale there's always "connect charger" on the lock screen instead of percentage.

A nice to have feature would also be a launcher with more icons displaying, like in TheDude's ROM
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
I updated to 3.6.1 from 3.6 last night and all of my apps2sd programs started force closing. I did not have this problem with 3.6.

I did all of the normal troubleshooting steps and I'm still having the f/c problem.

1. Wiped, Reflashed, Ran E2FSCK, Ran fix_permissions, rebooted same problems.

2. Reformatted Ext3 partition, copied over all my apps and dalvik-cache from a previous backup, Wiped, Reflashed, Ran E2FSCK, Ran fix_permissions, rebooted same problems.

The only thing I haven't done is completely reinstall all apps from scratch.

Any suggestions before I go through that long process?

I'm sure it is something wrong on my end. Love these ROMs.
[G1 Android Development] argylesocks:
Confirmed that this will fix the Gallery issue. Thanks!

*only applies to 3.6 Looks like this has been resolved in 3.6.1
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
is anyone else getting 36mb/72mb on 3.6.1? did I do something wrong? I have no apps installed.
[G1 Android Development] Radeonus:
Now it works just fine! Thank you!
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
is anyone else getting 36mb/72mb on 3.6.1? did I do something wrong? I have no apps installed.

I didn't mean to double post but I think I figured it out I thought I partitoned my sd card ext2 partiton to 910mb but I guess it didn't finish writing so there was no ext2 partition.

ok now I have 0/74mb after repartitioning my ext2 do I need to reformat the ext2 and reflash again? I've never had a problem like this
[G1 Android Development] ubernicholi:
i would set the swappiness to 30. higher values run nice, but your phone gets slower over time :(
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
No reason to double post, we hear you.

Are you talking about the "SD Card Secondary"? That value isn't accurate if you haven't partitioned for apps2sd. I will fix that in the future. I do sneak a couple of apps into /data/app, only about 3MB though.
[G1 Android Development] ubernicholi:
by default the stock apps are on internal memory.

Roaming problem

Hi

I ve a problem in versions 3.5.* and 3.6.*.

I use a virtual operator (simyo spain) and it uses the orange's network so it is a roaming operator and most of the times I cant connect internet even when the check box "data on roaming is on". It seems it is connected ant the up allow flashes but the down arrow doesnt flash (no download data) Obviously I can connect using other sim(movistar, for example). And if I use the roaming sim (Simyo operator) in other windows mobile pda or my netboot it works correctly. So the problem isnt in the sim card. And when I flash 3.4 then It works correctly. I would like to know if there was some kernel change from 3.4 to 3.5 or similar....

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
Cyanogen, i've been using 3.52 for a good while, mainly because it's working stable with the changes I did to it (installed a few apks from a theme, odexed everything (to save space in data mainly, since your builds have sooooo much unusued space in /system), removed some apks and put in all of the programs i use from the market (again, in the spirit of using up that unused space in system and leaving data open for more)) I make the changes straight to the update, so after I'm done, I just wipe, flash the update, and works well. Anyway, this has been broken since 3.6. I did the exact same things to 3.6, but now I get force closes on several apps. I don't use a2sd (with this build, don't really need to), so I'm wondering about two things;

What is it about these builds that they can't be just wiped>flashed (i'm reading I have to come from a previous build, and I like to wipe every time I flash a new rom)?

How can I fix it, anything I can add to the first boot script to make it work for me?

If this whole project is still based on 1.5r2, how come apps lose compatibility from one version to the next (sometimes). Even if there are kernel changes, the stock apps should still stay compatible with dalvik, no? (unless something in framework is affecting them). This is more obvious when you realize themes break, when there should really be no reason to.

I like this rom, I like it a lot, so I'd like to get it fixed (for my needs) as much as I can. I know you can't release roms to please everybody, but you could toss a bone my way and help me out so i can fix my problems myself?
[G1 Android Development] neo21:
@ cyanogen

great rom, just tried the 3.6.1 (first time) and it works out of the box and is really fast.

I am just missing one thing: Althought locale "German" seems to be working the layout of the physical keyboard is not correct (QUERTY instead of QUERTZ)...is there a fix?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
If you are odexing things and pushing them back to a new install, it's probably not gonna work. Yeah, it's based on AOSP 1.5r2, but periodically I make changes to the framework, and this requires that everything be re-odexed or the VM will crash (because the dependencies have changed). This is why I don't bother with odexing, there is no performance boost and it's a pain in the ass :)

Also, if you are putting .odex files in /data/app, I am deleting them on startup! The reason for this is because other ROMs were pushing odex files do the SD card, and messing things up when users would try to switch to a different ROM.
[G1 Android Development] sputnik99:
updated from 3.6 to 3.6.1 without any issues - as usually. Good work!

even if I loved to have rosie, I skip the theme part, because it seems tu multiply problems. I like the fast ans flawless cm versions. Just hoping that some time, cyanogen - on a free minute :-) - will code a superfast hero with rosie.
[G1 Android Development] GT30RSUBIE:
Rom is fast and stable! Thanks bro!
[G1 Android Development] zinite:
I installed 3.6.1 without a wipe from JF1.5r2. I have previously attempted (on JF) to do apps2sd but could never get it to work. Can someone please provide me with a brief outline of the steps to perform apps2sd on CMod? I already have Paragon Partition Manager.

Thanks in advance
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
one of the changes i make is deleting data/app (i move all those things into system), then i modify the install script to skip writing data (it would crash since there's no /data folder anymore), however, i do keep the line to format data.

I first run the stock build and put my market download apks in, then install it. Then i run dexopt and use the new files to re-pack and re-install the update. It's a pain in the ass, i agree, but i like the free space in data (why?, who knows :D).

I also pack a lot of ringtones and edit build.prop to change some things around (like disabling roaming, setting different ringtone, making changes to the things displayed in settings to make it look more stock (on a themed update :D)).

---edit---

oh, and there IS a performance benefit in in stripped apks, however slight, cache and memory get stressed less with the smaller apks, but again, yeah, it"s a pain in the ass
[G1 Android Development] ubernicholi:
First use gparted. Its not as jacked up as paragon. Shrink your fat partition by about 325 mb. Format that to ext3. Shrink the ext3 partition by 25 mb. For mat the 25 mb to linux swap fs.

Also you should wipe and reinstall 3.6.1
[G1 Android Development] nabzilla1990:
anyone port the hero theme for this build with pull down in lockscreen
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
I think (not sure) you could do it just by pushing the framework-res.apk to /system/framework/ since the lock screen is on a different framework file (i think). Try it if you're feeling brave
[G1 Android Development] SpyderMS:
The pull down lockscreen is brand new, and I 'think' specific to cyanogen's build, from what I understand from stericsson's twitter post. I think you'll probably have to wait on that one.

Or try why he said :P
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
This stuff is in services.jar and android.policy.jar. I need to make a new theme template tonight.
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
other than framework-res, android.policy, and services (and excluding the obvious htc framework files) which framework files are you changing?
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
ok, little help, I'm having the phone crashing problem again, other than that everything works. Here's what I got off of logcat when phone crashes (only relevant bit):

E/AndroidRuntime( 373): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.android.phone/com.android.phone.OutgoingCallBroadcaster}: java.lang.SecurityException: Neither user 1001 nor current process has android.permission.DEVICE_POWER.

ideas?

one noob question

i am now on 3.6.. if i wanna upgrade to 3.6.1, can i dont wipe and dont format the ext3 on my sd card?

by doing so, will it retain my settings and apps?

will it just upgrade without any major issues?
[G1 Android Development] DesignDawg:
Just to let you know, I updated to 3.6.1 from 3.6, and my autorotate is broken now. It will go to landscape, but will not return to portrait.
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
Cyanongen needs his name in the rom somewhere. the only place it shows up is in the settings > about > mod version screen.

I love how it says Android on the dock. I agree with Sir, it should say Cyanogen
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
Its worth a try
[G1 Android Development] matt_stang:
You can upgrade from 3.6 to 3.6.1 without any issues at all. Just rename to update.zip and update, no wipe, no formatting. Just a simple update, and no issues.

Swapper

You wrote:

I downloaded 1.1 swapper, which only gives me the swappiness options (from radio buttons) of: 1,2,5,10 (recommended), 20 (checked), 40,60 (system default)80 and 100... so how to get 30?

what would you recommend for swap size?

I have 32mb (recommended)

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
I'm using 20 myself. I find 30 swaps a bit too much for my liking.

You can set whatever value you want by going into the terminal and typing:

echo 30 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

replace 30 with whatever value you want.

Instead of asking people, play around with the values yourself and contribute your findings to the community. Everybody will benefit.
