Yeah, next version will load /system/etc/sysctl.conf automatically and include some tweaks in it.

I can't see any reason how moving these apps from /data to somewhere else could possibly cause a problem with wifi.

I just sneak them into /data/app to save a little bit of space on /system.

I'll add a link to the latest radio to the first post so anyone that doesn't have it already knows that they should update.
[G1 Android Development] hamshu:
I was wondering if anyone noticed that with the Sysctl tweaks, that it when they go to the home screen, the icons don't appear immediately(it's like Home is restarting) and that their apps in the pull-out list also reload? Is this an issue with my phone, this ROM in conjunction with Sysctl tweaks, or just the sysctl tweaks? Also if I should post this in the sysctl thread, I apologize and will repost if necessary.
[G1 Android Development] here.david:
Yep, I have tried every way I know - hours and days of trials...the only way things work for me with CM and Hero Themes is to do a full wipe-reboot, reformat the SD (both FAT & EXT2-yes EXT2, let CM do its thing) install JF's ROM-reboot (JFv1.51_CM3.2-ADP), install CM-reboot (currently 3.4), wipe within G1-reboot, reinstall CM update-reboot and then Hero Theme-reboot, then all the (80+) apps from the SD card-reboot...

Wish I had better news but I have not found any other way (did adb push and fastboot of every kind) not to have some kind of issue. Also, after each reboot times are from =<45sec to =<3mins until the final reboot than total time is =< 70sec. I also wait 30 sec after the lock screen appears to start using the G1 due to the wiggets (battery-cal-etc) and other items to load.

Yes, back to =< 30mins do to FULL updates (new CM ROM), however, any new Hero theme updates (just went from 1.2 to 1.3.5 without any issues) just on the fly once I have a CM ROM update stable...

On my 2nd G1 I keep it theme free just CM (currently 3.4) and have had no issues....I do like the 5 screens, extra items and the systems seems faster with Hero 1.3.5 theme by tehseano & MOONSSPOON....worth the time for me...:cool:

Better than the hours trying to find and fix" all the various kinds of issues I ran into...

Dont worry cyanogen! Take for your time, i can wait. =P

Stuck at Powering OFF screen?

I love this rom so much, and everything seems to work perfectly except when I power off the G1. It just gets stuck at "powering off" with the green status circle spinning. Any idea on what this could be :confused:

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] ryan75:
By heat, do you mean "I sat it too close to the stove" heat, or "running it overclocked all the time" type of heat? Either way, sorry to hear that.
[G1 Android Development] revwillie:
maybe file system curruption? A service is called at shutdown to check. You could try to do the check manually from the recovery console, alt+x.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
What's going on is that you did something to modify /system/init.rc. If this file does not contain the "shutdown" and "reboot" services, you have ran something on your device (probably an external apps2sd script, which is not needed) that has overwritten this file. These services are required because the ROM does a "clean" shutdown instead of killing the power. I will be moving these to the ramdisk init.rc to avoid this problem in the future.

Left it in my tent while camping, powered off, for 3 days. It was about 90 degrees outside during the day, much hotter in the tent. When I powered it back up when I got home, the touchscreen wouldn't work.
[G1 Android Development] al74:
OK. 3.4 worked great (using ext3) for a week and then started to slow down and get a lot of force closes. Fixed_Permissions only made things worse. I decided to reinstall without a wipe and all my apps (including default apps) got force closes notices after booting. I wasn't even able to USB mount the device. Wiped and reinstalled 3.4 and now most apps work but not all. I still get force closes on some. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall these apps again? What's the deal?
[G1 Android Development] Beast84:
Strange I will try doing it again when I get home from work.

A new problem has occured. I wiped coming from ADP JF1.5. I did the upgrade_fs command but none of my apps show up. When I ls /system/sd it shows my apps in app & app-private but they don't show up in the pull up. I also did the move apps to sd command in your new recovery but that did nothing for me either. I guess I have to reinstall everything?
[G1 Android Development] stellarman:
I am getting this too, almost all the time, when I come back to home from almost any app. Not always, but most of the time. It adds quite a bit of lag time to the (otherwise very fast) system. I have not had any idea how to fix it. I have tried removing various programs and widgets that might have been the cause, but have not gotten anywhere.

What can we or you do to solve this?
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
the tweaks to sysctl causes more RAM to be allocated to the virtual filesystem cache. Which means less RAM is available to other applications. What that means is the home applicatoin is probably getting kicked out of RAM more often than before and thus you are seeing the lag time.

In sysctl.conf, try setting

vm.vfs_cache_pressure=200 instead of to 10

This will cause the cache to be cleared out more often, freeing up more RAM for applications.

[G1 Android Development] carlosmontanez:
I am currently using this new update and it is faster but every time I try to manage applications my phone locks up and reboots. Any suggestions or did I miss something during install?
[G1 Android Development] linh1987:
For god's sake please don't quote like that.

@Cyanogen: Did you have a solution on the disappeared applications?
[G1 Android Development] Smokuevo:
i restarted all process of apps on the sd and clean boot and i dont experience the problem that you are having( i had before) i guess its using some diff apps to sd procedure and other fail and freeze up the phone..
[G1 Android Development] stellarman:
I would like to try this. But I have checked using Astro for sysctl.conf in /etc/ and don't see it there. Can I just create a file by that name and put the tweaks from this thread into the file? And if so, it appears that I need to also edit /system/init.rc so that I don' have to run sysctl every time I reboot the phone. Is that correct? And, finally, is there anything else I should know that is a potential problem?

Thanks for your help.

Annoying sound issue

Anyone else having this problem?

When I'm listening to music and receive a notification the music, and the notification will not sound. All sound will then be disabled and the phone needs to be rebooted to enable. This is pretty annoying.

Normal behaviour is music is interrupted by notification sound and then resumed.

I'm using stock music app and USB to 3.5mm adapter.

This worked fine on regular 1.5 and JF1.51

Thanks

[G1 Android Development] superhansel:
What a rude prick I am.

Love the ROM otherwise and am very thankful for Cyanogen's hard work
[G1 Android Development] t1h5ta3:
Im loving rhis rom, been on it for a couple weeks.

The only issue ive had is loosing apps on reboot.

When i came to this rom i did a clean install, ie. Clean format on both fat and ext3 partitions. Wiper update wipe again, let it synch, reboot , wait 10 min for everything to settle down, reboot into recovery, did the file fixer just to be sure, then apps to sd, then reboot, wait a few min, then downloaded my apps fresh from the market, i even took the time to wait for it to finish installing ea app before downloading the next.

Phone worked awesome for a couppple days, started to lag, rebooted, all was good, started tl lag again about a day later, rebooted, everything gone. Still showed the partition mounted and 1384megs avail internal, 5860 external. Rebooted several times, no luck, tryed shutdown, pop card out a couple times to see if it was the contacts, nothing... tryed a2sd from recovery, nothing, fixpermmissions, nothing..... wound up redownloading, showed it going to sd, so it was doing the trick..... a couple days later, all gone again....

Any ideas? The files arnt gone.... i conected thru my lenex box... phone just doest see them.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Yea it's a known problem right now. Happened to me quite often. Just wipe and reflash CM3.4. yes wipe. You can do a backup using MyBackupPro to keep your settings. Or you can adb pull /data/data/* and push it back later after the wipe
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
Kudos!

I have to say that all is working well for me! I've had 3.4 installed with apps2sd enabled. i have 804/904mb remaining. I love it! it works fast, i have about 75 apps. Keep up the good work! I'll keep testing and running the crap out of this ROM and let you know my problems/ideas.

@Cyanogen...don't leave ur phone in ur tent again... lol. I can't wait for new updates. Well i can, but i don't want to. lol
[G1 Android Development] kyleds:
vibrate

Is there a way to have it vibrate when I use the dailer to call numbers?
[G1 Android Development] twosixths:
I had the same issue. Rebooting didn't seem to cause it for me, my issue arose when I *foolishly* pulled the battery!

The files are for sure still there, the link to them seems to be gone. I think I read that Cyanogen was working on a fix but had to wait till his replacement phone came from T-Mob. I'm impatient so I wiped, formatted my SDs, and re-installed my apps. I've rebooted several times since then, but never pulled the battery and now I've been problem free for days.

Cyanogen should have an update out soon... We'll just have to wait!
[G1 Android Development] markimar:
so whats next?

I have had no real issues with this build. Am loving the crap out of it! So whats next on the table? I am curious what is the difference between 1.5 bulls and Rogers? I don't want to go to hero yet till it's more stable. I'm more for stability and speed till hero is running well.

But am interested in knowing what Rogers will offer me.

Keep up the brilliant work Cyan!
[G1 Android Development] timal:
I reinstalled the rom after it started to freeze and reboot itself. Also, anycut and bettercut doesn't seem to work. I really like this rom ; ) Thanks cyanogen.
[G1 Android Development] cmg1:
I've found that recovering without a wipe and reflash (see below) works just as well (for me) as with - meaning either way, I have to do it again after a few days.

I've been able to recover with this script (works on Mac and probably Linux; would have to be translated for Windows). It pulls all of the application files back to my Mac and reinstalls them. The data and settings seem to be unaffected by the whole process (I was pulling my K9 data before and pushing it back after, but that doesn't seem to be necessary):

#! /bin/csh -f

#

set td = tmp_`date '+%y%m%d%h%m%s'`

mkdir $td

adb remount

adb pull /system/sd/app $td/app

echo $td

find $td/app -name \*.apk -exec adb install {} \;
​

After that I shut down, boot into recovery mode, go to console, run fix_permissions, and then reboot. Works for a few days, then I have to repeat. YMMV.

Note that this doesn't do anything with the app-private directory. The only thing I have in there is Docs to Go, and that seems to work fine without being reinstalled. Once again, YMMV.
[G1 Android Development] davil124:
some weird things has happened to my phone lately, when ever i am playing music in my car (usb adapter + audio cable to the AUX connection) and as i am playing the song and someone calls me it stops playing the music and i cant hear the person at ALL. I have to hang up the phone, restart the phone and call the person back. This also affects me trying to continue play the song. It never happened to me before, i all started when i started using the version 3.4 (i think). Is this a issue that is just happening to me, or is it to everyone else?

Obs: I disconnect the usb adapter when i answer the phone.

i tried searching and noone answer this gentlemen's question. He is kinda having the same issue as me. Please help us.
[G1 Android Development] MaliceMcGuire:
same thing happening here... but I must make it very clear.... this is my only issue with this ROM I love it
[G1 Android Development] sir*mez:
Cyanogen just bricked his phone. Please be patient. I know ya need your cyanogen crack dosage but let it ride. Please try not to ask or rush the updates.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
He didn't brick it :p
[G1 Android Development] sir*mez:
Check his twitter!! He bricked his phone flashing haykuros spl.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Ooo sorry xD. Wow he got it and he bricked, sorry but that's funny :o

I was referring to

"@digitalfreak when i powered it back up when we got home, the touchscreen no longer works. i think the heat damaged it"
[G1 Android Development] pshadey:
Im not sure whether or not T-mobile will replace Cyanogen's phone he just got his new one, unless the new one didn't have cupcake already on it, he could say it power off during the update.. Or maybe that he received it like that.. No matter what the case, if they dont replace it I think anyone that uses and values Cyan's work should donate a couple dollars toward his dream replacement fund, so that we can continue to reap the fruits of his labor.

I already donated 5 dollars. Whoop whoop yea not much if everyone does it he'll be set.
[G1 Android Development] pshadey:
Yes He did brick it but he claimed it to be dead on arrival and there sending him another.:)
[G1 Android Development] mianosm:
I think it came DOA, someone hacked his twitter for sure. ; )
[G1 Android Development] zole2112:
I love Cyan's builds, I moved from Hero to Cyan and my phone is unbelievably fast and stable. I have over 900 MB free space and at least twice the battery life I was getting (2 full days)...not even using my high capacity battery anymore. Keep up the good work, it's much appreciated!
[G1 Android Development] sir*mez:
yes you are correct... idk who posted that he bricked it. i think my account here was also hacked into. i just changed my password and took more precautions. yes he did mention that it is DOA!! :D

P.S: stay off my account you hacker you!!!
[G1 Android Development] metallicant:
This is the best build yet. Very stable, very quick!!!!

Thank you Cyanogen!!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] kyleds:
how much MB should i make my EXT3?

Hey guy,

I currently have my ext3 at about 400mb. And I have a16g sdcard. Should I just leave it or partition more?

THANKS
[G1 Android Development] borodin1:
That's plenty, I have 512 and I was thinking of shrinking it down to 256 as I haven't gone over 120 mb yet and I have been using apps2sd since it was first available (topped out at about 135 apps, then realized that I really use 5 or 6, the rest just sit there and take up space, but oh well, you never know when you will need something :D)
[G1 Android Development] merps:
I would like to also extend my many thanks Cyanogen, for an absolutely smashing build.
[G1 Android Development] -vip3r-:
does anyone's phone just hang randomly? like certain system settings like managing apps.. or sometimes even going back to the home screen.. or even bringing down the notification bar sometimes doesn't want to come down.. i'm also using the hero 1.35 theme on it.. think that might be the case? phone has to reboot on it's own.. the lagging/hanging is getting annoying
[G1 Android Development] davil124:
that actually did happened to me a couple of times, i am still waiting for a solution on the bug in disabling the audio when you receive (call or something).
[G1 Android Development] df9517:
I will just say as everybody else here. Its a great build and I like it. Its a pity that it freezes once or twice a day and require a call+menu+power or that you remove the batteries.

I hope for a fix to that.
[G1 Android Development] veritas17:
I know this is a small thing, but how do I disable the transition effects since the actual settings menu doesn't stop the screen from turning sideways if I do turn the phone that way (i'm not always needing it to go into a different view when I'm doing that...) Any help would be appreciated.

BTW This rom is stellar.
[G1 Android Development] hamshu:
I've been getting these odd OOM responses in Google Maps, I was using traffic with my location this morning to navigate through I-285 and I kept getting out of memory popups that turned traffic off. It only began happen yesterday. The only changes I've made recently are Sysctl and updated Google Maps. Anyone else getting OOM problems?
[G1 Android Development] linh1987:
Get the launcher.apk from JF 1.51 guild and push it to /system/app
[G1 Android Development] revwillie:
Mine was appearing to hang. It would get unusably slow and I'd see 'app not responding' on various apps. But as soon as I disabled Locale, it got better. I've had similar problems with Twidroid running in the background.

Right now, I'm having intermittent touch screen issues. Some touch screen actions are not getting a response while others are. Some areas of the touch screen act like they are not calibrated. Long touch events are treated as clicks, especially on the home desktop. But if I power cycle the phone, it goes back to normal...or if I unplug the charger....so I hope that rules out hardware issues.

Does anyone else use the Toggle Settings app? It's designed to wait for time-based, charger on/off or battery level events and I'm wondering if it has something to do with this.
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
I just uninstalled Toggle Settings as it was SCREWING my phone. my gripes: stays in memory, when unloaded and reloaded into memory it gets unresponsive/forceclosure.

After uninstalling, my phone behaves the way it should. I can browse the web without a dozen annoying popups. Its a great idea and UI is cool, but implementation-wise, it sux
[G1 Android Development] sputnik99:
hey cyanogen, I wonder what you do without your g1 for such a long time :-) I would die without...

A question to all of you: I think I've lost my german text prediction with cm 3.4. Does anyone know, how to get it back? Is there a file that I could flash?

(And yes, I have used the search button and google).

gmail syncing problems

Does anybody else have gmail sync'ing problems. I neither can get new mail in inbox nor can send mail from gmail application. This problem started after I installed cyanogen rom(started with 3.3). It worked for a couple of weeks then the phone stopped syncing. I've tried going to settings/synchronization and syncing from there, it doesn't work. I've wiped and gmail started working again for a few weeks, then the problem cropped up again.
[G1 Android Development] prash:
Sleepy_Sanchez: instead of wiping, go to settings > applications > manage applications and find the Gmail app and do a 'delete data' from there. This should fix the odd sync issues. You may have to sign in again to the google account though, but its better than wiping the entire phone. Also i dont think this is ROM related.
[G1 Android Development] sleepy_sanchez:
gmail syncing problems

I tried deleting both gmail and gmail storage data. Now gmail app shows "Your email will appear shortly" and Waiting for sync in the status bar. However the circle "working" icon is not there.

Is there any other troubleshooting ideas. I don't want to contact T-mobile support as I'm fairly certain they will ask me to reset the phone.

edit: Ok fixed it. Uninstalled some applications, so the low space warning went away. After that syncing worked. I thought I had moved gmail and google maps cache to sd card, but apparently not.

Any one know of any tweaks to speed up the browser, and market for 3.4 my browser is slow at times some times it just stops loading and I have to reboot even while on my wifi. I have tried tautilitys cache2sd, and its the same ether way. Steel browser works great but I like the g1 browser for the copy text. 8g hc class 6 475mb ext3 100 apps.

Cyanogen your roms are great I have tried tons of other roms but yours has stayed on my g1. Thanks all your hard work.
[G1 Android Development] driguez:
So today all went to **** lol. Did the usual daily reboot after it rebooted i was missing a bunch of apps, then started getting low memory notifications (partition is about 700mb),, rebooted force close galore. Installed all missing apps with mybackup pro, did a test reboot and again, all hell broke loose. Im seriously considering to move all apps to the internal memory but will wait till next cyanogen update, right now im flashing the rom again and will see how it goes. BTW i was using the Hero theme, im thinking the theme to do with it, got the black screen after boot, its like launcher.apk its missing, everything works as far as making calls, meesages but no home, when home is pressed nothing happens. For now im going themeless as much as i love and enjoy the Hero theme.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
You have to remove all icons that are NOT in the bottom row in order for the hero theme to successfully flash.
[G1 Android Development] driguez:
I know that. Theme was working fine for the last week.
[G1 Android Development] driguez:
Ok, NOW i need some help. Wiped and flashed 3.4 and im still getting force closes non stop. :(
[G1 Android Development] driguez:
Nvr mind im just going to unisntall and install the apps giving me force closes.
[G1 Android Development] djwaz:
I had the same thing happen to me almost exactly as you explained it, our scenarios were the same, i was running cy's mod 3.4 and heros theme when that happened to me as well. I tried trouble shooting it but im still unsure what is causing that. What I did to fix the problem was wipe all data, format my sd card again with fat 32 and a smaller amount of ext 2 like 400mb, not use any theme running just the vanilla android default theme and then reinstalled the 3.4 cy's rom, its been about a week now since i did that and no more problems have occured since then.

Some people are specualting that the error that is happening to our sd cards where it all of a sudden shows as blank then apps are gone is being caused by certain private apps being installed causing conflicts I guess with the way the file system is set up on this rom. make sure you also run the file fixer in the recovery mode that comes with cy's 1.2 recovery also.

Hope any of this helps.
[G1 Android Development] driguez:
Thanx. Just deleted/installed the apps that were force closing, will see now.
