[G1 Android Development] Rebellion_CA:
I have not seen any problems of this sort. To be honest with you I was about to unroot because of all the issues and FC that has been happening with the different ROMs. Before this version anything that used the top status bar would really hang the G1 for a while. Now it seems to be quite good. I only get an occasional wait, but the phone is 1000x more responsive with this build.

I will not be unrooting my phone if the build keeps going the way it is and improving. Thanks Cyanogen!
[G1 Android Development] richpadg:
Can someone please post the link to the FTP site with all of Cyan's releases?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
Will reverting dalvik affect the buttery smooth scrolling from 3.6.3?

I'm not having much issues w 3.6.3.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Does not appear to.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
On the bright side, the latest Hero theme appears to work fine with this build. You lose some CM features, but it doesn't break everything like it did on 3.6.2.
[G1 Android Development] MTechRD:
Hi to all and Mister Cyanogen!

I want to know if this new version 3.6.4 support Swapper, Can i install this app???

Or What do you recommend me? Opcion 1 or 2?

1- Install the Swapper App and make a swap file

2- Create a linux swap partition

????
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Posted 3.6.4.1. This fixes the problems that everyone is experiencing when trying to change ringtones and do other things. Also fixed the setup wizard.

I promise to *NOT* mess around with system libraries like that in the stable versions.
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
Now that being said......whose ready for more "scary" stuff?
[G1 Android Development] marshallladd:
Does the HTC music player still work in this build?
[G1 Android Development] broncosfantx:
i only noticed that the space left on your partition for apps and the reboot option are missing
[G1 Android Development] MTechRD:
A Question Master cyanogen ?

Please....
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
A swap partition will be faster I think. You can use a userinit.sh script to make it automatically start at bootup.
[G1 Android Development] pokerace:
not able to sign in with Google Sync with build 3.6.4,

but hopefully it'll be fixed in 3.4.6.1

***EDIT***

3.4.6.1 working good for me!!

Welll Cyanogen, I barely ever post anything on any threads or forums, but seriously, Thanks Alot. first i didn't even kno why the hell i wanted to root my phone, but this sets a reason for me... so once again, thanks for all the hard work.
[G1 Android Development] prettyboy85712:
Flashing 3.6.4.1 now. :)
[G1 Android Development] tep065:
as far as i know, using a swap file on an SDCard dramatically lowers the life of an already short life span for SD Cards. Also, Cyanogen's ROM is already VERY VERY fast. More so than the JacHero roms which a swap file is kind of needed to run better. It may work with this rom...i dunno. But seems to not be needed and would quickly kill your sdcard unnecessarily. I'd advise against using it for this rom...its just not needed.
[G1 Android Development] namsir:
Stuck at the first splash screen :(
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
Bug posted by Ggrant over at AC.
[G1 Android Development] pokerace:
i agree....

when i had the previous build installed, my phone kept rebooting... ( I was unsure why at the time) therefore, i took off my swapper, as in deleted it completely. So, now after flashing 3.6.4.1, and NOT having swap, it is running flawlessly, and SUPER fast...:D i dont see the point of the swapper?!
[G1 Android Development] pokerace:
mines is there, and it's working fine
[G1 Android Development] prettyboy85712:
No problems here with lockscreen or battery meter.
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
using a swap file isn't really to improve performance as it will actually slow down your phone.

a swap file is used to get rid of the annoying browser refresh issue when switching to other apps and back again as the webpage gets offloaded from RAM.

using a swap file will extend the ram to flash and improve this issue.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Try clearing out your dalvik-cache and rebooting. Also possible that you got a corrupt flash, thats really weird behavior.

I haven't really found swap necessary on this ROM. I don't run a ton of widgets or anything like that, though.
[G1 Android Development] MTechRD:
Thanks

I'll try....thanks
[G1 Android Development] sxfx:
This rom is super flash quick, to me it even seems faster the the stock rom that comes on the G1 but that might just be me.

But if your looking to squeeze out some extra performance out of the rom only thing I would really recommend is setCPU.

Thats what I'm running and that's probably why it seems like my phone is much faster then the stock G1 ROM.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
The kernel is already set for 528MHz max freq by default, plus I added some tweaks to reduce latency when ramping up the frequency.
[G1 Android Development] prettyboy85712:
I was using setCPU until recently. I found this ROM seemed to perform better without it IMO.
[G1 Android Development] richpadg:
Every release starting with 3.6 has not installed the camera, does anyone else have this problem?

After 3.6.4.1, I am still getting FC in MMS when clicking on an attached photo. Any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] MTechRD:
Yes, thanks... but i only want to know.... the difference, talking about performance, betwen the swap_file and swap partition...
[G1 Android Development] simms22:
cyanogens rom is already overclocked , there is no real need for setcpu (unless you want to underclock it )
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
You might want to do a backup and try a wipe and see if it fixes your issues. I'm sure they are related.
[G1 Android Development] Kwincy:
I noticed the above when I upgraded from 3.6 to 3.6.4.1. Didn't really have a reboot phone option in 3.6, but I do miss the secondary storage screen. Any way to get that back using hero 1.4.5 and 3.6.4.1?
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Push Settings.apk back. I published my GIT repo, so maybe they will incorporate some of my stuff.
[G1 Android Development] sir*mez:
as soon as i update prodigal sun theme i will be updating the hero theme as well so that its compatiable with cyanogen roms.
[G1 Android Development] ttabbal:
On HDDs it's faster. That's in large part because it doesn't have to deal with fragmentation and such. On flash I doubt it makes a big difference in speed. The benefit in my mind is that it's not writing to the filesystem where my apps or data live. More writes = more chances for some kind of failure to hose the filesystem. Probably not a big issue, but creating a partition is easy, so why not?
[G1 Android Development] digital006:
Quick question, do I need to update my radio before flashing this rom?

I assume I'm running the stock radio, I'm also using the hardspl.
[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
I was using the Overclocked Widget until I began to suspect that it was involved with my occasional loss of WiFi connectivity on my home network. I noticed that whenever I lost wifi network (didn't appear lost, just couldn't connect to Market, internet, etc unless I disabled and then re-enabled to refresh ip) that the overclock widget had kicked down to my lowerest speed setting. Once I removed this widget I haven't had any other connectivity issues!
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
You should be using the radio linked in the first post. You probably already have it, check "About phone".
[G1 Android Development] Kwincy:
Thank you!!

Sweet, that will be awesome!
[G1 Android Development] richpadg:
Apparently it was just one certain attachment. I tried another and it worked fine.

What are the Hero Transitions you mentioned?
[G1 Android Development] digital006:
My baseband version is - 62.33.20.08U_1.22.12.29

I'm guessing thats not the latest radio then.

Is it safe to update the radio even though I've updated the SPL?
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
GPS - 1 click directions App crashes w 3.6.4.1/3.6.3 but not 3.6.2

I have 1 application that will crash with 3.6.4.1 and 3.6.3 and that is GPS - 1 click directions.

I reverted back to 3.6.2 (no wipe) and it doesn't crash. I have the logcat and stack traces attached.

Any additional changes to dalvik that is still in 3.6.4.1, but not 3.6.2?

I never tried 3.6.4.
[G1 Android Development] ubernicholi:
go to the spare parts app and enable transitions. slow looks the best to me
[G1 Android Development] mayormullet:
I'm having a problem with a force close on an app that worked a few days ago (3.61 or 3.62) - SeattleBusFinder-lite. Not sure what causes this. I tried wiping and reflashing but still still no love.
[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
Should be fine. Go to first page of this thread (or last depending on how you have your preferences for this forum set up!) , grab the latest radio (ends in 26I btw) and rename it update.zip just like any other flash. I think I remember it going through two reboot cycles on its own (been a long time ago it seems!) so don't panic if it reboots on its own!
[G1 Android Development] henrylim:
if anyone is using hero theme 1.4.5, just change to cyanogen's Settings.apk with updated hero theme's icon for Settings and re-signs the hero theme's update file. You will get back the reboot feature.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I think I know what might be causing this.
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
This build has always and will always be the best!

that is unless he keeps experimenting with system libraries. lol

Welcome.
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
A swap file is located on the SDcard, which when you mount your sdcard, you lose your swap file. bad idea.

a swap partition not to exceed 32 megs never gets unmounted from the phone so you never have to worry.

and yes, it does make your phone go faster. which isn't much faster than Cyan's roms...
[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
Was I seeing things??

Earlier, after temporarily going back to 3.6.2 while awaiting Cyanogen's inevitable quick post to correct the problems we were seeing, I saw the following:

I walked into the room and my screen was black (I always hit sleep when I put phone down, just habit I guess and I figure I save a little battery not waiting on screen saver to kick in) and I SWEAR my notification LED was flashing PURPLE !! Hit unlock screen and had a twitter update that Cyanogen had two twitter updates.

PURPLE LED flashing???? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
read back a few pages, it's listed at least 3 times.
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
Flashing now, i'll let you know.
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
I usually get purple after I install something from the market. on 3.6.4.1 the only thing thats crashing is setcpu, ill just reinstall.
[G1 Android Development] rasturn:
Ringtones

When i first flashed 3.6.4.1 form 3.6.3 lost all ringtones, if this happins to u goto astro or any file manger and just play one ringtone and then they show up in your under your sound settings.
[G1 Android Development] revwillie:
If twidroid is running in the background and the default settings are on, it will alert you to new tweets with a purple (magenta) led flash and notification sound. On the downside, I've found that leaving twidroid running like this slows down the phone and burns the battery up faster.
[G1 Android Development] droiddv:
Hey man, this is a smoking fast rom. Nothing really compares. The only thing that would make me happier with this rom is too include something to make all the sounds a little bit louder. I downloaded a rom a couple of months ago that all the sounds were increased by like 200%. I really liked that feature. Anyway tons of props. Killer job. I like the Hero roms, they are awesome for features, but I do not think the internal memory of the dream will ever be able to run hero(rosie) with any reliable speed. I choose your rom for speed. It is incredible. My bro has the magic with donut, my dream smokes his, and he has like double the internal memory. Anyway just wanted to tell you, you have done very well.
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
There is a thread already on the volume hack. it's in the main Dream android development forum. and yes, it works with this build, i'm using it now.

If you have anything like Rings Extended, reinstall it. I had the same problem until I did that.
[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
Whew!!

Thanks, I feel much better! I searched everything I could find on the LEDs and didn't see any reference to a purple one.

Also, I was running Twitta, not twidroid, but I guess they work the same!

OK, now that my sense of sanity is restored, I return you to your normal programming!

once the screen starts to dim, you cant wake it up by touching the screen, you have to press a button. also, if the browser is active, and i get a phone call, once i hang up, touch no longer works in the browser
[G1 Android Development] xdothenderson:
Is there anyway to save the volume hack to make it consistantly stay on the G1? After every flash/update I have to adb push the V5/V6 everytime gets annoying.
[G1 Android Development] irishrally:
I am on latest cm rom with latest Hero theme and used SDSplit to partition my SD card. I rebooted and selected move apps to SD in the cm 1.2 recovery image. It said preparation was complete so I rebooted. After reboot I got stuck on the Hero startup screen. I rebooted many times and got stuck everytime.

Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] :
Just wait :D

It can take up to a few minutes to boot. Especially after a2sd stuff.

Otherwise try a wipe
[G1 Android Development] irishrally:
I waited along time. I will try a wipe.

I did the repair file extension command and it told me to go to e2ckf using console. I went there but was unable to enter any commands, like -p showed up as unknown command. How do I use e2ckf?

How can I tell if all my apps were moved to my SD card? Can I see the ext2 partition on my PC?
[G1 Android Development] marshallladd:
I don't know much about the hero themes but I can tell you how you know if you are in a boot loop with the basic android load screen, probably works for all themes.

After a wipe or install it always takes a long time for everything to load past the boot up screens. On the default theme, there is that android with the scolling glare going over it. When that comes up watch for your call, home, back and end buttons to light up. If they turn off and on and the android is still showing, 99% of the time, you are in a boot-loop. If they haven't lit up, just let it keep doing its thing. It is still working, unless 20 minutes has gone by then you are just done.
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
Since nothing on your /system/sd gets deleted automatically, I copied the files to my system/sd folder and also stored a script there

Mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblk3 /system
Busybox cp /system/sd/*.csv /etc/

Save the script as volume.sh

I then have to run the script everytime I flash.

But at least the files are on ur sdcard and you don't have to use adb. Works for on the go flashers like myself.
[G1 Android Development] irishrally:
I just flashed the cm 1.3.1 recovery image and I don't see apps to SD option in the recovery menu. Does this just happen automatically now?

Do all the new apps I download get saved to my secondary partition or are all the apps I have had to this point copied over the SD card?
[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
As we used to say on the flightline when I was in the Air Force, this is a "CND" (Could Not Duplicate) for me. I can rescue the dimming screen with a single touch to the screen and no problems with browser after taking a call.

You running a Theme? Lots of these problems I see reported I think spring from loading a theme on top of cyanogen's excellent work!
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
hero status bar

Since it looks like you are putting in some hero features.

How about putting in the hero status bar to your builds?

I think just about everybody would agree that the hero status bar icons are a huge improvement over the stock android status bar icons.
[G1 Android Development] mrcrs:
that tweak of using the statusbar while at the lock screen is just genius.

thank you cyanogen for implementing it and thanks stericson for making it :)

also i'm on 3.4.3 and when i recieve calls, nothing shows up on the screen, just the ringer going off. gonna flash 3.6.4.1 now and see that changes.
[G1 Android Development] ubernicholi:
no theme, i have had the browser issue for a while, dim issue is new, maybe a wipe reflash will fix it, but im not to worried.
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
before flashing the hero theme, you MUST make sure all the icons/widgets are removed from every screen, if you don't.... boot loop.

That being said,

there is 2 ways to check if your apps are to sd.

1st

adb remount
adb shell
ls system/sd/app

if your apps show up there, then you are good.

2nd

menu > settings > sd card and phone storage > sd card secondary

this is your ext2/3/4 partition. what are the numbers? if the total is higher than the available, you should be fine.
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
I agree, i couldn't replicate it as well, everything is fine on my end.

and no, i'm not using a theme.
[G1 Android Development] njuncos:
runnin 3.6.4.1 now. running absolutely awesome. the speed has just been great...however, i am running a swap partition set to 24mg, 20 swappiness. but it looks like what i have now been reading, it should run just as fast w/o the swap...i'm gonna get a new sd card anyway in the near future. mine is 4gb, class 4...gonna get a 8gb class 6.
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
I have been using a 32 mb swap partition as well.

I have been testing, and the only thing it helps, really, is the browser.

I disabled it and no change in the optimizations that Cyan has made to this build. It's still as fast. Still as cool, and i don't have to wear down my sd card anymore!!!
[G1 Android Development] blackomegax:
having issues with the wifi on 3.6.4.1

wifi is wpa2 psk.

it works for a time. then stops working, despite having an IP. no ping. no nothing. shows as connected.

disable - re-enable = it works again

has happened 3 times so far today.

i just flashed the new rom on to my baby and its lovely but i have also used the HERO and my question is as far as the menu with all my icons is there any way to move the icons closer togerther like on the HERO rom cause having apps2sd working allows me to download a LOT of apps lol and i wanna be able to access them faster so a mod for the main menu would help a whole great deal thanks again for alll your great work
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
Thank you, i will edit my post.
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
ok, first of all, i edited my post, below is the correct one. (thanks jklong03)

second, try this

adb kill-server
adb remount

That should do it.

LOL..... I don't know why, but that's really funny.

I get an image of the phone just sitting there nicely booting up then thinks 'you know what? I fancy some music'............ :D
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
did you have the Hero ROM on there previously? I know that the Hero ROM plays a midi, the hero THEME shouldn't. maybe there is that midi file left on your sdcard...

I'm not sure, but i just flashed the hero THEME and didn't get the sound.

maybe you can ask them in that thread.

you made sure that when you renamed the file, you named it

:D hehehe, the brief talk about sounds during the boot screens with hero kind of made me miss it when i was runnin JacHero :)...Cyanogen, could you add like R2D2 sounds to the boot screen or something? Not the G1 screen, the one that says ANDROID. <grin> (Is that an animated .gif?)

[G1 Android Development] pokerace:
hey cyanogen,

any idea why my phone might be booting itself at the most random times?

It was booting itself with the 3.6.4 build very often, and 3.6.4.1 seemed to quiet it down a bit, yet it still happens periodically...

anyone kno why??
[G1 Android Development] rb2k:
ringtone menus crash for me in the current version too (also: alarm tone menu etc)
[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
The first place I always look is what am I doing different than others who aren't having this problem? I start by disabling all widgets and switchers, etc. Get to a clean basic install and then see how it performs.

Also, always a good idea to update your .sig file so we know exactly what your configuration is (pm me if you need help with that) and tell us what stuff out of a basic set up you are running.

Just my thoughts on how best to utilize these forums!
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
i agree, an updated signature is always the best way to see what someone is using without asking "what are you on, how much this, what is that, blah, blah, blah." the more info without asking the better.

back on topic.

the best way, unfortunate, i know, to test why a rom is doing something that no one elses is, is to format your sd card completely and start over: repartition, reflash, etc.
