welcome to another Aussie mate. I haven't had this option with this build but had it on another build- not sure why but a wipe and reflash fixed it.
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
just seeing this great work will await the next update. aside from that cant say anything bad about this update. its the best one yet. charging my bluetooth stereo headphones to try out the improvements. sweet build!!
[G1 Android Development] lmjabreu:
A2DP still skips, at 40 second intervals almost like clockwork, could be g-backup though but doubt it since it's irregular. Performance seems worse( I've upgraded from 3.4.6 ) and personally the colored battery icon on the status screen doesn't fit the rest of the ui style.
[G1 Android Development] yong24s:
Upgraded from 3.5.2 to 3.5.3 without a wipe.

Battery % Widget in locked menu doesnt seem to update.

Overall, things all working nicely for me thanks for the new build :D
[G1 Android Development] minhtrung618:
there 's new Jac Hero , but im Cyanogen Fan

keep trying , hope we will have new update tomorrow
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
i just used my stereo BT at the gym- found that BT didnt skip as far as i could tell. I use Rockon as my music player... did get a few smses during playback but that is the only time i could tell the music stopping...

i like the battery icons- after converting the theme template to hero, and changing services.jar, android-poicy.jar and status_bar.xml the icons fit nicely...
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
just noticed this too- atm lockscreen is at 77% but battery status AND spare parts say 67%.....wonder why? anyone?

**edit*** rebooting updates the % icon but nothing after that...
[G1 Android Development] :
I love this build, very fast. But am I the only one who's camera is now black and white only? All effects are off, but every picture is black and white.
[G1 Android Development] ScottGood:
Funkstar,

If you go to application manager and clear the data in the camera all will be fine.
[G1 Android Development] MoB-HeArT:
ok first of my G1 is messed up

Now here is why

I was on CyanogenMod 1.5r2 and my phone was working nice and smooth all my apps were on my sd card and i had 430mb free on my phone then the next day i turn my phone on and it says sd card is corrupt and that i have to format it and i did and ever since that this rom wasnt wokring for me when i re downloaded my apps they we saved to my phone and the internal memory was at 26 so i put the phone in recovery mode and put the apps to sd card and when i reboot my phone it still had the same internal memory.

So after all that i decided to run his scary mod and it did the same thing to my phone so i gave up ont tryin to fix the internal memory and now i rebooted my phone and it tells me my sd is damaged and i should format it but the problem with that is that the phone wont let me all i can do on the phone is pull down the status bar and click on anything that there i cant run any app or even see the home screen....the whole main screen is just black but i can still lock the phone and see the battery dock...... it can enter recovery mode but i dont know what to do can someone help me.....
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
not for nothing but sounds like your card has been no good since your first attemp. personally i would reformat the card and or try another card format that correctly and then reflash the rom again. am i wrong to assume you need a working sd card for this build as it automatically does apps2sd on install....?? I probably would also try to flash his stable 3.4.6 before this one...there was a post before where this needed to be done not sure if its still the case couldnt find the original posting.
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
could it really be that so many sd cards are bad? I think a2sd is just a bad implementation of symlinking
[G1 Android Development] dan0zone:
well you get points for not making a new thread .. thank you ..

If you reformat your sdcard using your phone you will lose your ext portion ....so u need to redo your split
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I probably screwed it up. I'll make sure to test it better before the next release.

SD cards are funny things. I've been able to resurrect a couple of them (including before I started messing with ROMs and whatnot) by writing over the whole thing with zeros (in Linux: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdXXXX) and repartitioning. Something about the bad block protection I guess. I'm sure there is an equivalent for other operating systems, give it a try.
[G1 Android Development] blueheeler:
+1

Exactly

My bluetooth is skipping infrequently, but it's happening (I don't have g-backup though). The skips are just very brief moments of silence and not all that noticeable. But it's happening.

I went the upgrade path, and 3.5.2 did seem faster and snappier. Not that much of a degredation, just fairly noticeable. I haven't added any programs, changed any settings or done anything different to my setup from 3.4.6 -> ... 3.5.3. Only changes have been the ugprades. It hasn't worried me because I figured once a build is declared stable, I was going to do a total wipe of everything (including reformatting my sdcard). I hoped that would correct any speed issues.

And being picky, yes, the battery icon stands out like a sore thumb. I think the little Android guy was more subtle and since he's a logo of sorts, I believe it was more approrpiate. The battery is so big and so bright, it looks like an afterthought. If nothing else, it's size needs to be reduced by 50%.

I'm still incredibly happy with this build. It's more stable than OTA, and the speed increase over that is huge. Excellent work!
[G1 Android Development] JanetPanic:
AVRCP does not appear to work for me with 3.5.3. A2DP is fine though, a few skips but not worse than it was.
[G1 Android Development] Diceman4:
Since I flashed 3.5.3 CoPilot Live will not load. I know that this is a pretty specific question and this is not a standard system program, but I was curious if anyone has been able to get copilot to work with 3.5.3.

(After spending $35 for it I want it to work)

[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
If you copy /system/lib/liba2dp.so from a previous release, does it work?

Known bug, will be fixed in the next version. Grab /system/lib/libsgl.so from a previous version, push it to your device, reboot, and it will work.
[G1 Android Development] underamoon:
Auto-rotate

Auto rotate fixed after wipe/reflash.
[G1 Android Development] Chahk:
Don't know which change from 3.5.2 to 3.5.3 did it, but the bootup time was cut drastically in this build. My phone is at the home screen, fully loaded in under 30 seconds flat. Previously it used to take 1.5 - 2 minutes. I don't think it's a placebo effect either.
[G1 Android Development] mascian:
@ cyanogen (First of all thanks for your work!).

I have tried all of your builds and, in my opinion, the best so far was the 3.5.2: it was very responsive and totally without laggy.

Now I tried the 3.5.3: first without wipe (only update), and it was plagued by several laggy...; then I wiped and I did a clean install ....(After formatted all sd partition).

But it is still too laggy....:(

It's a problem only mine? In your opinion, if i try to flash again, could I solve this problem?

P.S.: I do not use any graphic theme, and I have disabled all the animations.

Thank you.
[G1 Android Development] robbie725:
No Issues...

Again Cyan great job and again I have updated to the latest verision 3.5.3 nad have had not one issue what so ever... I have been on the Cyanogen MODs since the begininng. With bluetooth I don't use the headsets just that I know my phone has always worked with my Garmin Nuvi almost flawlessly... only thing with this new verision is that it took about 10 mintues to get it to pair up whereas on previous builds they paired almost instantally! That's it!:D

I always flash alt-w, alt-s, alt-w have been from the start I know I don't have to and I don't mind setting things back up again...!

Great job....

thanks

peace

EDIT: well one thing that I just now seen since updating my reading of the new pages that I have not read is that yes the Lock Screen Menu has been at 79% all morning and has not changed!
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
I've noticed that 3.5.3 is a bit more laggy than 3.5.2.

The browser seems to slow down more often. More garbage collection in the background? Not sure why..
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I secretly changed the IO scheduler again in this build (to deadline), just to see if people noticed. Looks like the anticipatory scheduler still beats everything else. 3.6 will switch back to it and I won't mess with it anymore.
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
sneaky :-)

I was pulling my hair figuring out why 3.5.3 was a bit slower. I thought maybe it was a new app I installed or something.
[G1 Android Development] Nedlinin:
Speaking of 3.6, any idea how long your experimental build test will be going on? Im eager to see another stable version (though I am close to just saying f it and grabbing 3.5.3..)
[G1 Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Still on 3.5.2 till some of the pdf issues get worked out. However, anyway you can change the layout and text of stericsons lock screen. The font and details are SOO small, I can barely read it. Otherwise, lovin this build...no real bugs, the occasional reboot, and super quick and frequent updates. Thanx
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I've noticed the illegal access error when running dexopt on the HTC_IME apk, but I've never seen an exception like that. I'll set mInputMethodState to public in the framework and it will most likely resolve this. I don't have any issues with it in landscape mode, though.
[G1 Android Development] afflaq:
I apologize - Wiping again fixed this - I suspect I know where the issue is, and it wasn't a Cyanogen thing.
[G1 Android Development] JanetPanic:
I will give it a try tonight.

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] mascian:
:) Thank you.
[G1 Android Development] B-man007:
If you have Stericsons HTC Music app, that could be the cause of the crash. Its not related to the ROM
[G1 Android Development] afflaq:
mhmmm - that'd be it ;) I twittered him asking if he could make that change in his framework.
[G1 Android Development] kizer:
I'm currently on 3.2 because it was the stablist build before you really dove into building what you have now with addressing the coma issues because I tried 3.4 or whatever it was and man it seemed really bad on my end, but anyways.

Not much really to say, but thanks for taking the time to really do what you do. I know the other rom guys work hard, but you really seem to take the time to experiment and really push the rom hard opposed to adding things just to add things.

Anyways thanks for all the hard work and as a little time passes I'll give 3.6 a try or whatever the really next stable build is since you seem really close. :D
[G1 Android Development] Diceman4:
Pushing the libsgl.so from 3.4.6 worked perfect. As always, thanks for everything that you do Cyanogen.

Dice
[G1 Android Development] prash:
For those having bluetooth skipping issues:

Go to wireless settings, click bluetooth settings, long press on your headset under the list, DE-SELECT 'phone' and just leave Music only selected. This stopped a LOT of skipping issues for me.

There is a thread discussing why this happens, the 3G/Edge network sort of takes over the music signals and causes these skippings.

Also to show you the Battery bug:

Battery stayed at full and said 100% while actual battery from about section said 72% (as seen on top icon)
[G1 Android Development] Lemonade727:
Upgraded to the JACHero ROM last night and realized just how sluggish it was compared to CM, so I'm now reverting back to the 3.5.3 but am stuck in a boot loop. Tried 3.5.2 and 3.4.6 as well and the same thing results. This was with wipes performed prior to updating with the CM ROMs. Any help?
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
JAC put .odex files and Hero apps in /data/app for some reason, and they probably got pushed to your sdcard. These files will cause the VM to crash and aren't cleaned up by a simple wipe. You need to go into /system/sd/app and wipe out those files manually or reformat your ext partition.

I PM'd JAC about fixing this in his ROM.
[G1 Android Development] underamoon:
JACHero to Cyan

Same thing happened to me. Try booting without your SDCard, then reformat your SD. I also ended up reflashing the spl and downgrading first (but I dont thing this is necessary). I think the issue is with the Hero files that end up on the SD card. Hope this helps.
[G1 Android Development] Lemonade727:
Thanks for the fast response. Eagerly awaiting the next big release!
[G1 Android Development] splitkooks:
I am aswell having major bootloop issues going from 3.5 up to the next incrimental....and i can not revert to 3.4.6........

my nandroid restore isnt working either....can someone help me out?

whats the best way within my phone to nandroid restore? its stuck on a boot loop.... and no phone = no contact :( im worried that I effed up something rather large
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I think in the next release I will also add an "rm -f /data/app/*.odex". Apps with .odex files should NEVER be in /data/app.
[G1 Android Development] lightforce:
3.5.3 updated here yesterday and noticed no issues so far at all. Looks stable to me
[G1 Android Development] drpfenderson:
Flashed 3.5.3 last night. Activated Swap this morning.

g-a-ZEUS :eek:

It's fast. Really fast. Like....extremely fast and responsive, even with all my apps running. Thank you for the amazing work, cyanogen. If each release gets this much better, I can't even imagine what this will be like weeks from now.

When my paycheck comes in next, it's beer for you and beer for me. Cheers!

*The only thing I've noticed is that I cannot mount the phone to the computer while it's on. It acts like its mounting, then immediately remounts the SDcard internally. Searches yielded no results, but perhaps I suck at searching. Any light that can be shed on this?

If all you are doing is putting userinit.sh in the root of the SDcard, then run these commands:

#chmod 775 /sdcard/userinit.sh
#sh /sdcard/userinit.sh
[G1 Android Development] xdothenderson:
thx ill try that now i entered the command rebooting.
[G1 Android Development] tissle:
Maybe Bug:

When I try to hook up my phone to my Car Stereo via USB or Computer vis USB..

it just don't mount the first time. It takes couple of unplugging and replugging.
[G1 Android Development] xdothenderson:
seemed to speed it up a bit faster boot & the auto-rotate flips in less than a second now.

the swap is still at 0 0 0 i also still have 56 mb, everything is running smooth if the swap is activated will my mb change?
[G1 Android Development] ubernicholi:
Did you create the linuxswap fs after the ext2/3/4?
[G1 Android Development] Chedderknight:
updated from 3.4.6 last night, very pleased at the speed increase, I didnt realize how much faster it could get from 3.4.6., v3.5.3 even fixed my usb issue, comp recognizes the phone and is mountable now

Edit: I forgot to mention that streetview doesn't work, I dunno if it is the App itself or the build, doesn't bother me, just something worth noting.
[G1 Android Development] JanetPanic:
replacing libsgl.so with the previous version fixed copilot and PDF Viewer.

replacing liba2dp.so fixed AVRCP.

So it appears that everything is working now. Thanks again for all your hard work.
[G1 Android Development] yomamaster:
3.5.3 issues

I did a no-wipe upgrade from 3.5.2 to 3.5.3. I noticed a few interesting quirks:

1. My orientation setting is now honored. I had it turned off and rotating my phone physically no longer also rotated the screen. I turned the setting back on and it worked normally. Prior to to 3.5.3, it didn't work.

2. It is a bit laggy compared to 3.5.2 although it hasn't caused it to be unusable.

3. Applying the Hero theme made it super laggy and broke Swapper. Swapper would Force Close and when I tried to load it back up, it would just hang.

4. The battery meter (without the Hero theme applied) always shows 100%.

I think I'm going to downgrade to 3.5.2. It was working pretty well for me!

I am also wondering...there any good scripts that will rebuild the screens, properly install apps, etc. after a wipe? It seems a wipe is necessary for some of the upgrades, but it also means setting up Gmail all over again, setting up screens, all over again, etc.
[G1 Android Development] xdothenderson:
when i type upgrade_fs:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced.

checks Pass 1-5

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2: 137/180848 files (29.2% non-contiguous), 63684/722925 blocks

i believe the phone is picking up an EXT3 but its not activating swap space yet.

EDIT: do i need the swapper apk?
[G1 Android Development] prash:
You may want to look into "Backup for Root Users" in the market (free app) for backing up a LOT of the settings available to you if you do a lot of flashing of roms.

Also MyBackup app (not sure if the free version has it) has a choice to backup desktop shortcuts alone or with a lot of the other options on it. Check that out. Should be in your market.
[G1 Android Development] nxt:
Street view works just fine.

It's the new google maps version 2.x

Street view is not in the menu Maps view anymore

You have to tap and hold somewhere on the map, wait for the "loading address" to pop up, tap that, then select Street View.
[G1 Android Development] arch-angel:
same problem here the battery widget on the lock screen doesn't change.

it shows different level with the my battery status
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
The first page already lists the known bugs for 3.5.3, no need to repeat whats already been identified.
[G1 Android Development] ScottGood:
That's very interesting, my lockscreen battery was fine all day, it just now started saying 100% when all other data shows 60%

Edit : a simple reboot makes the lock screen show the proper battery level.
[G1 Android Development] .PaNiNi.:
not really feelin the little battery look on the lock screen

but other then that.....no problems here so far but will report back later
[G1 Android Development] ubernicholi:
mmcnlk0p2 is yout ext2/3/4 partition, for apps2sd. you need to add a lunixswap fs after that.

download gparted and shrink your ext partition by 24 mb, then use that space to create a linuxswap fs, and then format the linuxswap fs.

then use "mmcblk0p3"

that will be your swap partition. look on page 8 for more details,
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
Same here. Seems streched.

No problems thus far (except the known battery % bug)

Great work.
[G1 Android Development] lightforce:
I love the new battery charging thing looks gg to me.
[G1 Android Development] Diceman4:
No major problems.

For some reason though when I get an SMS, HandCent and SMS Popup both popup sms notifications.

I plan on uninstalling SMSPopup, but can I also uninstall the system Messaging apk? Or will that make me lose all SMS capability?

Thanks!

Edit: I uninstalled SMS Popup and the issue resolved. I think it had something to do with restoring my app settings with Backup for Root Users after my last wipe. (On a side note, Backup for Root Users REALLY takes the sting out of wiping)
[G1 Android Development] YPhoto:
Desktop Empty

I saw a post mentioning this, and the only solution was to reboot, reboot, reboot until it works. I know occasionally on rebooting my desktop comes back empty. This happened on 3.4.6 as well as my current install, 3.5.3. I really am not sure what to do to help troubleshoot the issue. I know others have seen the issue, but I do not think it was resolved. Just figured I would mention it. :)
[G1 Android Development] Diceman4:
I don't know if this is relevant information, but mine got fixed after I uninstalled Open Home.
[G1 Android Development] YPhoto:
Thanks, but I don't have any of the home alternatives loaded. But that may help some of the others that saw the problem.
[G1 Android Development] ubernicholi:
just so you know, you can also disable the system messaging app notification in the setting at the bottom.

all third party messaging apps have you do this because of the double notification issue. i know you resolved this, its for everyone else having the issue
[G1 Android Development] Chahk:
I find that it's good for backing up the apks and settings, but I have yet to successfully restore data. Backing it up is a pain also. One evening I did App2sd -> Backup Data, left it running overnight and it was still running in the morning. Is it supposed to take so long even on a freshly wiped phone and reformatted SD card? I'm probably doing something wrong anyways. All I want is to keep settings and data for a couple of my installed apps (mostly game progress and other silly things), and I bet it's a lot simpler than I'm making it out to be.
[G1 Android Development] xdothenderson:
is there anyway to disable the stock messaging.apk w.o messing anything up i'm trying to use chomp as my default mms.apk.i don't get any notifications just txt go to the regular mms i tried some commands to remove it but got a lot of force close pop ups/errors.
[G1 Android Development] arch-angel:
HTC CIME not working on 3.5.3 everytime try to write it closed suddenly
[G1 Android Development] Diceman4:
I had the same problem with the Apps2SD data, so I used it for everything on the first screen, apps2sd (the top option), and all of the personal stuff. This kept all of my home screen icons, app setting etc. Widgets don't like it very much, but I had really good luck with all of my other apps.
[G1 Android Development] Diceman4:
Has anyone tried to change their ringtone on 3.5.3? I am not sure if it is a ROM issue or a theme issue (Using Hero 1.3.5), but the setting selection for both type of ringtone (notification and incoming call) is grayed out.

EDIT NEVERMIND...I am an idiot. I had Silent Mode checked.
[G1 Android Development] Diceman4:
I had the notifications disabled in both the standard messaging and SMS Popup which is why I think it must have been something funky from when I restored my settings after the wipe and flash...:)
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
ROFL. sorry but thats funny.
[G1 Android Development] ubernicholi:
Enable chomp notifications and disable the stock messaging app notifications.
[G1 Android Development] All~G1:
Im running paragon partition manager 9 for my formatting and partitioning of my sdcard. It has an option to format "linux swap2" would that be the same as "linux swap" used to run the swap partition?
[G1 Android Development] xdothenderson:
i don't use chomp notifications or the stock mms both or disabled. i use sms pop up w/ LED.

i was talking about removing the messaging.apk entirely from the phone.
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
Maybe this is why i don't have any skipping issues- i use media only thru my headphones- i just found that the media dropped out when phone was selected as well....
[G1 Android Development] blackomegax:
3.5.1

lock screen gets stuck on saying "charging" even when no cable is attached.

not fatal but i did look at it funny.
[G1 Android Development] TheGreenJester:
Already fixed.
[G1 Android Development] revwillie:
CRAP

That sucks. I just got a new plantronics 855 set. It does both by design.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Yeah, I just found the "isBatteryUpdateInteresting" method. It will all be fixed in 3.6.
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
I have a platronics 855 and I never had too many issues with skipping. Either with 3.5.3, or any previous version of cyan's ROMs.

It would skip once in a while, but it wasn't to the point where I couldn't use it.
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
which is where?

thx
[G1 Android Development] cjesse:
3.5.3 is laggy , switch back to 3.5.2 without wipe, then everything works fine for me.
[G1 Android Development] happyface_0:
Can someone post /system/lib/libsgl.so from a previous version?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] ubernicholi:
I don't think there is a way with out breaking some thing. Sms popup and chomp rely on the messaging program for their info. Also a core part of the phone
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
has anyone experiencing the alarm clock disappearing off your desktop? randomly. User error?
