want to ask this question mr. cyan, i just partition my 2GB sd-card ok with the ext2 on windows is it considered Linux-ext2 or is both one in all? do i have to name a volume label with this ext2 and if so is a volume label based on number or alphabet? do i make the second partition primary as i did the Fat32? if you can give me some info on this i would highly appreciate it...thankz
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
hey thats pretty cool...
[G1 Android Development] lasseaagren:
True - presently I'm at 40, and it is much better than 60 :-)
[G1 Android Development] scotte9999:
I'm loathe to wipe

No, this is w/o wiping. I don't really understand the necessity of wiping: Seems like that's just brute-forcing things, rather than understanding and correcting the problem. :-) I'll dig around a bit and see if I can figure something out. I really have no desire to wipe just for a silly accelerometer.

Anyone else having problems with "QUERTY" vs "QUERTZ" hardware keyboard on G1 Dream with this rom?

...if its just me, would appreciate tips or links...thanks.

Try changing the locale under Settings>Locale & text
[G1 Android Development] sputnik99:
No problem with autorotate for me. Has to be something on your side.
[G1 Android Development] aryndar:
Thanks, I'll do that....
[G1 Android Development] mgear356:
thank you sir.

so in short, all apps and settings will be there? and no conflicts?
[G1 Android Development] sputnik99:
yes, me too. There is no option of changing the layout in normal android keyboard. In htc.ime touch input it shows qwertz, when german is chosen as input language, but in the next line it shows "activate prediction for qwerty-keyboard". The keyboard, both hardware and touch input is qwerty anyway, regardless what you choose.

and... when on german input language, touch input force closes when changing orientation. But this is no issue of cyanogens mod but caused by htc_ime.
[G1 Android Development] mexpress22:
After making my third partition, how do I initiate the use of my swap partition and check to see if its working? I've been reading up on all the processes but being a noob I cant differentiate between what steps are sequential and which ones are alternative options. Oh and can this process be automated?

And will moving cache/data be a benefit on this rom?

Cyanogen, thank you for your dedication.

The only difference between an expert and a fanatic is the willingness to commit.

accelerometer stuck

Just FYI for anyone having this problem...

On a wipe install of 3.6 -> upgrade no wipe to 3.6.1

My accelerometer also would get stuck in landscape mode. Seems like a minor issue, but I need my accelerometer to work properly. So...a simple wipe and reflash of 3.6.1 fixed the issue. But I guess this is somewhat of a trend I am seeing.
[G1 Android Development] neo21:
Yes, did that and language and onscreen keyboard are alright...just the physical keyboard of the g1 is not working correctly (= wrong layout)
[G1 Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
How about......

CYAndroid! :D

USB Mounting

anyone having problems mount usb with 3.6.1. everytime i mount it disconnects me

_______________________________________________________________________________

just installed the theme template and now it works but Lockscreen tweak doesnt work anymore
[G1 Android Development] Lemonade727:
It's not necessarily a problem to understand and correct, more of just an inconsistency between system files from flashing to a newer ROM. It's not a universal problem with the ROM, as not everyone was having the issue. Honestly the wipe and re-flash would do you good in getting this working, njuncos just fixed his issue by doing just that.
[G1 Android Development] zinite:
So once I have the Fat32/Ext3/Swap partitions on my SD card, where do i go from there?
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
* Lockscreen tweak from Stericson that allows the statusbar to be pulled down (except if pattern is enabled)

I can pull the dock down while locked, no pattern, and click on, say, my music player, the dock disappears like it's opening it, then nothing. i press menu to unlock and there is my music player.

anyone else?
[G1 Android Development] Lude act:
My browser app force closes every time, anyone know of a fix for this? i already reflashed but didnt wipe. lol

Of course people who roam for one will care.

Running 3.6.1

Friggin' kicks the two-cheeks on the lower half of your backside...;)

I was running JF 1.51 with Apps2SD2, but was experiencing a lot of lag and an occasional Force Close from various apps, especially when I rebooted rather than shut the phone down and restart it.

Cyanogen 3.6.1 does everything Apps2SD2 does. Plus, the ROM runs a lot faster and smoother than the ROM I was using. Cyanogen also included some extra - killer - applications with his ROM - QuickOffice and PDF Viewer.

I've experienced one (IMO) very minor issue and it may not have had anything to do with the ROM.

I use aHome for my homescreen and experienced one "Force Close" of aHome since I installed (yesterday) v3.6.1. However, I clicked the "Wait" and everything worked fine.

THIS ROM ROCKS!

Thanks, Cyanogen. Looking forward to see what else you bring to the ROM by "optimizing the crap out of Android 1.5r2." ;)

I'm running 3.6.1 and have a minor problem with the Market app. It doesn't show comments on any app at all? I'm not sure if this is a 3.6.1 problem, or if I had it before the upgrade as well.

I have tried to delete the apps cache and run the fix_permissions script.

Any ideas to what might be wrong?

what happened to the build environment.
[G1 Android Development] no6969el:
yea i wish there was a fix to get the accelerometer to work again.. i went in order with no wipe from 3.4, 3.6 , 3.6.1 .. i know if i wipe it it will work, but is there anything I can push to it.. or do to get it to work without a wipe?
[G1 Android Development] GT30RSUBIE:

There was a thread somewhere on the Dream forums about getting the accelerometer unstuck using some program. Try the forum search for "accelerometer" and "stuck" keywords.

[G1 Android Development] asn1:
Some apps not working on 3.6.1?

I am facing a problem since upgrading to cyanogen 3.6.1 (from JF 1.51 US). I did a wipe. Some apps like The weather channel, Twidroid and Taskiller free are not working. When I try to open I get a force close immediately. This happens to a few more apps. But other apps are working fine.

Any suggestions how I can fix this? Thanks

So that's why I can't change my pic on cupcake rite. (A chat app) I've been busting my head for days. Is there anyway we can fix this cyanogen?
[G1 Android Development] hyoomen:
Can you describe the circumstances wherein you no longer have root? I found that I was having difficulty in copying files to system/app within Terminal Emulator w/ su, but copying from adb shell gave no issues.

My root does seem to be a bit flaky, but I don't know if the problems are the same as yours.

Generally, though, I've never had issues w/ root on Cyanogen's builds.
[G1 Android Development] sir*mez:
that is not a bug it just bugs you. :p ;)
[G1 Android Development] Payne IV:
I can adb shell in and type id, and it shows that I have root. But when I go to terminal emulator on the phone, I type id and I don't have root. And when I try to use Wireless Tether for Root Users, it force closes. So I really don't know how I don't have root, but it's quite annoying
[G1 Android Development] hyoomen:
Have you tried running his fix_permissions.sh script he mentions on the first page? Go to a Terminal prompt on the phone and run 'fix_permissions'. Be sure you have SU (super user) / root permissions first. More info @ Post 1 - FAQ #15.

Anyone else lose their music file? I had 1,600+ songs on my sd card in a folder called 'music' and now its gone... wonder if it had anything to do with the amazon.mp3 mods... No I have no music... :(
[G1 Android Development] hyoomen:
Hrm. From a command prompt are you running 'su'? I go to Terminal Emulator and 'id' doesn't return root until I 'su'. My 'su' and 'sh' are bound together (example instructions).
[G1 Android Development] hyoomen:
What did you do to get to this point? No reason to have lost the folder that I can think of. Is your card partitioned? If so, check out below.

Try this:

adb shell
cd sdcard
ls

If you don't see your 'music' directory there, then look if there is a 'DCIM' directory. If so, then:

cd DCIM
ls

And see if there is a 'music' directory there. This is where mine is hiding out.

Is your phone not detecting any music anymore?

PS: If you don't use adb, go to Terminal Emulator on your phone:

cd sdcard
ls (looking for the music directory, if don't find it then...)
cd DCIM
ls (looking for music dir again)

this is why i dont like themes.. all it takes is one mistake and everything goes haywire...

now im hopin my sdcard isnt corrupted again.. just started acting funny after connecting via Card Reader...
[G1 Android Development] ghassan99:
If you all have the loop, then install the old 1.3.5 theme from his thread and it will work fine. This worked for me.

And wait till he fixes this one.

Update: Actually using this theme solved the provider name issue. But Stericson status bar tweak doesn't work anymore.

Strangely after installing this theme HTC Hero v1.3.5 (5.87MB) on top of CM 3.6.1 from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=520629

I'm able to see the comments again in the market apps.

For the sake of testing though, I went back to CM 3.6.1 (thus removing the theme) and it was still working! So try this and I hope it works for you.

The above theme had the vending.apk as part of its package. It surely replaced the vending.apk from CM mod. I was having this problem before CM 3.6.1 and since I was doing updates with no wipes, maybe vending.apk was not being replaced properly. Just my guess of this issue :)

-Gus
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
problem with implementing the theme is that the lockscreen changes are embedded in services.jar and android-policy.jar. To get a white clock you need to use these but in doing so this affects the new lockscreen. The white date is just in status_bar.xml in framework res/layout.

On another common subject, I see a lot of people asking questions about enabling swap- i am yet to do it but am thinking about it with my next flash.

Can someone write a quick noobies guide to enabling swap with Cyanogens mod? eg. size of partition? Swappiness size? How to get it working with cyanogen? Upkeep of it? etc.

thanks
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
I second that request. am getting my new SDcard soon and wanted to enable a swap partition.
[G1 Android Development] stellarman:
Interesting...

I am on 3.6.1, but do not have "Android" in my notifications pull-down. I bet my AeroBlack theme is over-writing it.

Im on 3.6.1

-Camera/Camcord is missing from the menu

-I have Android in my pulldown

Came from 3.6

[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
yeah most themes will overwrite the files mentioned above so that is why lockscreen is different and you cant drag down notifications pulldown while in lockscreen.

[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
they show fine for me in my menu.. you might wanna try reflashing the rom or redownloading it and reflahsing it again

apps2sd is done automatically.. but if you have to use the apps2sd app try using the original one .. ( i dont recommend using it since the rom does it automatically - but the worst that will happen is that you will have to wipe and reflash )
[G1 Android Development] namsir:
anyhone know how to convert ext3 to ext4 ?
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
You either need to do it from recovery mode (the 1.3 version I just released), or thru adb. To do it with the device running you have to stop the runtime, so using terminal won't work. Ext4 should be safe to use on this build, I applied the patches that fix issues with write ordering and delayed allocation.

If you do this, you won't be able to mount it on another ROM unless it supports ext4!

From recovery in console:

tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

From "adb shell":

stop
umount /system/sd
tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
reboot
[G1 Android Development] hamshu:
Easy Handy guide for creating and enabling a swap partition.

1. Create a swap partition! Make sure its ~16-32 mb. Anything too big and it could cause problems. I use a 24 mb partition. I would suggest using Gparted for this.

2. Make sure your swap partition is Ext3.

3. Start up adb shell and enter the following code:

adb shell
mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

4. This will make the third partition into a swap partition.

5. Now to make it so your swap partition is setup each time, you want to create a userinit.sh to load into the /system/sd.

6. Create a new file and insert the following code:

if [ -e /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 ] ;
then
swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3;
echo 30 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness;
fi;

7. Now save that as userinit.sh in your Android/tools folder.

8. Then go to adb and execute:

adb push userinit.sh /system/sd

9. And you should be done.

Thanks to Dwang for being the first to setup a swap as well as providing the steps and Cyan for this amazing ROM.
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:

[G1 Android Development] fh47qu:

Cyanogen

I do not think Cyanogen is a team of people. If not a team of people than Cyanogen is definetly not human.

so when can we use nandroid restore?

only if flashing to the exact same ROM, or can we create a nandroid backup and restore when we upgrade to a slightly modified CM ROM ?
[G1 Android Development] dumfuq:
Hey cy, Just wondering if it would be possible for me to revert the way the device shows up in linux to access all partitions on sdcard. Since I don't have a card reader that is how I managed my partitions but in the recent builds I can only access the fat partition. Btw thanks for all the work...lovin it.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I reverted it in the 3.5 series, now in 3.6. You should be able to access everything again. The reason I reverted it was because it didn't work right with Vista. If you mount your ext partition while it's already mounted on the phone, you are going to corrupt it.

Nandroid is a full system backup and restore. So you can go from anything to anything.

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.
[G1 Android Development] Chahk:
+1 to have the pull-down show the carrier instead of "Android". In case of roaming it would be nice to see which network is ripping you off.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I tried to get a job a Google and they rejected me. I don't have the degrees they are looking for I guess, but I do have a lot of experience with software development (I write Java for a living these days) and sysadmin stuff.

Stericson gave me a fix for it, it will be in 3.6.2.
[G1 Android Development] here.david:
U did not state - how u c -or- what is "SD card tab"

1. OS u r using

2. what you are seeing

3. what u formated to

This might help, If Windows u will only see the FAT/NTFS, however, in Ubuntu/Linux you will see FAT/NTFS/EXT, not swap, you use gpart within Ubuntu (or many others e.g. SystemRecoverCD as a bootable cd).

P.S. goto term and root and type free which will list swap, the other commands for memory I forget....u can look them up...
[G1 Android Development] here.david:
Einstien was rejected until later in life....u have my vote...location, location, location, might have hindered u...CA is to far away from PA...going in person, hanging out with google folks gets an intro, and/or good head-hunter in CA might get you in the door. U did not state when u were not offered a position, if before android, maybe now that google has android you might try again.

[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
Got a quick question cyanogen:

I know the build is clocked to 528. Is this permanent or just the upper limit? ie. does it scale back while not in use or when the screen is off etc as the overclocking widget does.

If not is it possible for this function to be included?

thx
[G1 Android Development] hamshu:
Indeed I did, I'll edit the post when I get around to it. No sleep makes me forget things when I type.

Also Cyanogen, could you post that fix for Accel data in your FAQ? It would help a bunch of people out and save some people from having to wipe.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Yeah, 528 is the max frequency, but it will scale the frequency depending on how actively the device is being used. I did some tweaks to make the scaling more responsive, so you don't notice the delay when it ramps up.
