Thank you, but I get an error:

P.S.:

The procedure in to the script (a2sd), Should not perform this operation automatically?
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
I am on my way out and would have to research the error. Are you sure you created a linux-swap partition as the third partition on the sd? Also it only has to be done once. The script only needs the swapon and swappiness echo.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
This is being reported on other builds (not just mine) as well. There is a thread about it in the "Dream" forum.

Most likely a kernel panic. I want to figure out how to write a crash log or a dump file to somewhere like the cache partition when this happens. Harder than it sounds, though.

Do you have some misbehaving application running in the background? I'm actually getting awesome battery life on these builds. I know that Twidroid is set to check for tweets every 5 minutes by default and if you don't change it then it will destroy your battery.

Yeah, will be in the next build.

Probably one more 3.5 release just to tidy up a couple of things before I call it stable.
[G1 Android Development] mascian:
Yes, but my Linux_Swap partition (created with Acronis) is only 16 Mb (15,56 Mb).

[My sd: 1°=Fat32 / 2°=EXT3 / 3°=Linux_Swap (16 Mb)]

It this correct?
[G1 Android Development] firestrife23:
you're correct it should be in this order Fat32/Ext3-or-Ext4/Linux-Swap

I noticed you modified a2sd script, however with this release 3.5.2 you do not need to mess with a2sd just create userinit.sh file and push it to /system/sd/

once you created linux swap partition with acronis you're already set, and the only thing u need to do is push userinit.sh.

here's my userinit.sh (borrowed from someone, forgot the name of poster)

#!/system/bin/sh

if [ -e /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 ];
then
echo 10 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness;
swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3;
fi;
[G1 Android Development] mascian:
Ok, thanks firestrife23 ... Now try this.
[G1 Android Development] Stigy:
What are the chances of me going from 3.4.6 to 3.5.2 without having to wipe?

It would be awesome if I did not need to wipe.

BTW these builds rock -- thanks so much!
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Should go without a hitch. The issues are only with going from pre-3.4.6 builds to 3.5+.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
The camera on all the 3.5 builds is exactly the same.
[G1 Android Development] Stigy:
Awesome -- gonna give it a shot right now.

I hope T-Mobile doesn't mind me downloading each build OTA :p
[G1 Android Development] mascian:
I'm not lucky, firestrife23...:o

I have reformatted my sd (all partition), unsigned 3.5.2 cyano rom, sidekick userinit.sh file in System/sd, resigned and reflashed (alt+w and alt+S).

But...:

Mem: 97848 96316 1532 0 1616

And these commands do not work, same error:

[G1 Android Development] Stigy:
Okay so I just flashed 3.5.2 straight from 3.4.6 and everything went without a hitch.

Seems to boot much faster -- I am going to assume the new lock screen is supposed to have smaller text? This part of the new kernel? Just haven't read all 56 pages of the thread yet.

Also something really good to note is that Toggle Settings doesn't force close on startup anymore like it did on 3.4.6 -- not sure what its related to, but its nice!

Thanks again man! I look forward to future builds to help testing.
[G1 Android Development] Chahk:
Is that just me, or does that seem like waaaaaaaaaaay too many bytes for 16 MB.

Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 32897024 bytes

That's mine, for 32 MB.

Acronis is doing something funky with your card. I'd recommend re-creating the Linux-swap partition with another program (GParted from Ubuntu LiveCD or Paragon Partition Manager), then formatting it and trying again.
[G1 Android Development] firestrife23:
EDIT, Chahk got it covered ;-)
[G1 Android Development] mascian:
Ok...in download....:)
[G1 Android Development] mascian:
Thank to you...firestrife23, now downloading Gparted....I hope that goes better...
[G1 Android Development] blackomegax:
minor report:

battery life is ROCKING.

its gone since 4 am now, with light use on 3g, and the icon is still full.
[G1 Android Development] mascian:
Ok, Formatting with gparted it went well...thank you all...:)

Now, in the Terminal, I write "Free" and It is quite correct; but, when I reboot the system the swap file return to 0....

I have pushed the userinit.sh in rom, in "system/sd", resigned and flashed....: is not correct?

Would not it be better to fix the script "a2sd" in "System/bin"? In this case, how should I do?

Thank you.
[G1 Android Development] firestrife23:
yes it's correct
[G1 Android Development] ubergeekster:
WOW! that is all i can say.

Just got done reading up every thread over the last week on the Coma issue and even though i was running JF 1.51, i didnt really see any other devs jumping in the way you have.

That for me was the deciding factor. So just finished updating to your recovery image and installed 3.5.2

Holy crap dude, even underclocked this is the fastest this phone has ever been. I am gonna have to work something out with you. You want me to buy you a beer, how about this instead. I brew my own, its incredibly good and fairly strong. I am gonna have to send you out a jug when i brew up the next batch.

Thank you for all your hard work!

:cool:
[G1 Android Development] .PaNiNi.:
after testing 3.5.1 out for a day or so I have come up with a few things

1. very slow moving between screens

2. seems to go slower when ringtones and notification sounds come on

3. Force closing alot with Alarm clock (but think thats fixed with 3.5.2, will test now)

any other problems will let you know!
[G1 Android Development] jayb222:
I see. They are the same. It was one test one in sunlight (no blur) and one was indoors (slight blur). Didn't know it was that big a difference! Awesome camera outdoors!

No problems with the build. Even after installing the HTC Hero Music Player. Any Chance of adding that and the Hero 1.3.5 theme to the next update?
[G1 Android Development] Stigy:
Quick question regarding Stericson's lock screen.

I see from his post that there is supposed to be a battery meter in the lock screen that will dynamically change based on the battery percentage. My lock screen doesn't have that -- am I missing something or was this messed up in 3.5.2?
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
No - Please don't litter this mean lean beauty with bloated themes/non std apps. Keep it simple to use as is, and for others to tweak with themes and whatnot. I'm sure someone will pick up from there.

/Mats
[G1 Android Development] dazzawright:
I dont think it's actually on the lock screen, I have it on the timeout screen, not the screen you need to draw the pattern on.
[G1 Android Development] Stigy:
I don't use a pattern. I was talking about the screen with the time, your alarms and "Press Menu to Unlock"

Above the time there seems to be a space for the battery percentage, but mine isn't there. Maybe I should reflash or is there a file I can just push? Not sure if something happened 3.5.2 or the phone needs to be plugged in?

Thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] richpadg:
Mine is the same. There seems to be a space where it should be. I would definitely like to have it show up if there is a way to do so.
[G1 Android Development] richpadg:
Is the HTC Player included in the Hero theme or do you get is from somewhere else? What's the difference?
[G1 Android Development] cidica:
it's from another file.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=530572

Go there to read about it. And it is very different to most of us it's alot nicer looking (which it is)
[G1 Android Development] alapapa:
I like this plan...homebrew for homebrew!

i have 2 kegs of awesomeness @ the house right now -- if only we could netcat streams of beer
[G1 Android Development] cidica:
Cyan already said he was not going to add the HTC player. Honestly I'd have to agree with that decision being that #1 it's slower then the normal one and #2 it's still a work in progress (even though Stericson did a great job so far) It would also cause alot of themes to break unless people modified them to work with "this" rom only
[G1 Android Development] overpower:
Plug it in.
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
No and it's been discussed in this thread as to why he wont and should not add a bunch of worthless items that do not fit the goal of ADP optimization. The tools for you to change a build to your liking already exist. Use them.
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
ext3

I flashed this build 3.52 last night coming from TheDudes 1.3 (so I had my apps on ext2) and I have no issues but I thought this build requires ext3?

Do I need to convert to ext3? or did the update do it automatically? Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] here.david:
I too..."I liked the little android guy..." so if that does not cause issues would be great to see it back...:D
[G1 Android Development] Denkai:
correction: I got it, found the file back on page 50 or so, skimmed past it. the sh file works great. is there any negitive effect if we want to auto mount our /system as a read/write?
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
Cyan said it would be fixed in the next build a few pages back...
[G1 Android Development] Stigy:
Okay so it is supposed to place a battery percentage on the lock screen without being plugged in? I don't have a USB cable at work to test if it works while plugged in.
[G1 Android Development] ScottGood:
Hey Cyanogen,

can you answer these three questions?

1 What issues are we going to have going from a 5 screen ROM to a 3 screen ROM?

2 Is it possible to password protect the system on boot-up without the pattern lock enabled?

3 Can we backup the Market cache to /data/sd/market_cache, or something along those lines?, I ask because I've noticed that when I have A2SD my apps are there after a wipe but they are not shown as downloaded in market so i don't see if there are updates to the apps I have.

BTW, I'm following your ROMS like Alice following the Damned White Rabbit
[G1 Android Development] jairomeo:
Very well put. Lets see what this can do
[G1 Android Development] beast.in.black:
Coma

I've got the coma problem as well. Gonna flash this ROM now and report back on whether it fixes the issue.

UPDATE:

1) I've lost my camcorder and gallery apps. I went from 3.4.1 (where the camcorder and gallery was working) to 3.5. HALP!! FURTHER UPDATE: I got the camcorder working by re-flashing the ROM, but the gallery is still gone.

2) I haven't seen the coma so far, but I need to try it under the same circumstances under which I invariably notice it (Being charged using the AC adapter, with Wifi on and the alarm set)
[G1 Android Development] ScottGood:
anyone else have a b/w cam?
[G1 Android Development] jimbo831:
This happened to people on the last build as well apparently because the camera settings needed cleared. Just go to MENU > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > HTC Camera > Clear data

Others reported this as fixing that issue. Hope it works for you.
[G1 Android Development] ScottGood:
Thanks just came from 3.4.4 I missed .5 and .6 was about to go to .6 but was like f-it I like the fun of testing!!!
[G1 Android Development] cidica:
well I wiped and did a clean install. Clean install on all my apps as well and so far so good. will be nice when you update the recovery image for the ext4 I'll convert then but I'm liking it so far. even reinstalled Hero Theme without any noticable issues so far speed is still and everything is fine
[G1 Android Development] KNK:
Ah I love living on the edge :) . Thank you Cyanogen!

Going to do a complete fresh clean install for this.

Question - EXT4 ... isn't it still a little iffy? I know Fedora uses it as a default in their latest release (v11) but Ubuntu 9.04 actually highly recommends against it but still supports it just has ext3 as the default.

Reason why I ask is just because I have read some really nasty bugs with ext4.
[G1 Android Development] savethechicken:
Mine seemed to be running hotter than normal??? Will get some readings and such when I have some time. I haven't had to much time to use it as Im at work. But so far aside from the the first intial boot to the home screen it is moving farely well.

lol was hoping the pattern lock problem would be fixed but I can live with that for now.
[G1 Android Development] simms22:
ok . running great . it definately doesnt feel experimental , its to smmoth and quick ! no problems what-so-ever . all my apps work , camera , camcorder , location , gps . i would say its smoother going through different windows . btw , all my apps are on internal memory .

1 quick question .... i had 6mb on sd card secondary memory , now i have 4 . does anyone know what is being stored there ?
[G1 Android Development] webgrafix:
I so want to try this!!! I tried every other ROM if Cyans. But I am leaving on a long car road trip and need the phone to be solid... putting TeleNav though it's paces.
[G1 Android Development] Janis:
I'm in, and a bit about ext4

I sort of got in with the guy who wrote DimBot, which I think is cool just cuz it's so earthy, so I'm not using the Ambient Light Sensor app. As far as I've read, I should be OK. I've been very frugal with my Wifi, so the coma thing has been very sparse, but I'd much prefer to eat my battery with a faster connection and not worry about missing a call.

I love this phrase from the Wiki on Ext4 "Many people find such a behavior unacceptable." I'm still laughing. Like breaking the second law of robotics or something (Isaac Asimov still rocks). I dunno. I think I may try this ROM with Ext3 for a while, and then try Ext4 to see if I can tell if there's a difference. Are there any tools available that can check rw speeds?

I'm also wondering what these fixes are (Wiki) "Theodore Ts'o has written some patches for ext4 that cause it to limit its delayed allocation in these common cases. For a small cost in performance, this will significantly increase the chance that either version of the file will survive the crash." I'm running Jumping Jackalope and it apparently has .29 with these fixes incorporated. (news to me, since I loaded Linux completely blind just to get an Ext2 partition for free). Food for thought, anyway. It could be food for too much work, so don't go running off with it. Remember the first law of robotics (i.e. don't kill yourself for your gadget, or expect anyone else to).

Well. I had to do something while the ROM was loading, didn't I? Why not write?

And don't forget to indulge yourself in some unacceptible behavior every day.
[G1 Android Development] wizern23:
I just tried updating to this coming from twistedheroM and then a wipe and im bootlooping. its been 20+ min. do i need to flash an older build and then reflash this.
[G1 Android Development] ScottGood:
Did you wipe after updating? You need you wipe before not after
[G1 Android Development] tjs3783:
Working great for me so far, cyanogen.

I did not wipe before I flashed, and every app I had installed opened and ran fine. :)

Have not flashed the Hero theme, but I will tomorrow at work.

Still running ext3.
[G1 Android Development] ravenge:
CM builds have auto a2sd. If you have any cache etc on an a2sd partition, make sure you get rid of it.

Also, if you could provide logcat logs of boot loops its a lot easier to tell what's wrong.

logcat requires knowing how to use adb

adb shell logcat > logcat.txt

will create a file in your home directory that you can easily copy/paste from.

[G1 Android Development] newtothegame:
another tester

Rooted phone and flashed ROMS for the first time a week ago. My point, please let me know if additional info, trouble shooting steps would be helpful to "the cause".

Background: After updating SPL and Radio for Hero ROMS, decided to try something more stable. (Hero/Rosie cool but increasingly slow) Started with Dude's ROM, then two Hero ROMs (many SD card problems with each ROM/APPSTOSD method) and then went to Cyanogen's v3.4.5 a few days ago. Loved the speed and auto apps to SD but started locking up primarily when the screen timeout would kick in (Press menu and only see a blinking green LED). Had to reboot throughout the day. Last night, updated to cyanogen's 1.2 recovery after reading some posts and ran file permissions fix and everything seemed great last night. This morning, locks and reboots resumed (10 - 20 times during the day). After finding and eagerly watching the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=528191 thread today, downloaded the v3.5 tonight.

Results: Did not wipe, simply applied the new update. Looked good but locked up after an hour (manually locked screen and let timeout kick in multiple times first). Went into recovery and did an ALT + W then an ALT - S this time. 1/2 hour in and no problems. Will update tomorrow.

If there are any suggestions to get better information, please post. I am thrilled with the build and look at this as a "resolvable glitch" on a solid build as opposed to the recurring issues I was having with the SD card (losing its format) on all of the other ROMS (or any of a multiple combinations of moving APPSTODS).

Sorry this first post is so long . . .

Fyi hero theme

FYI...

Although the answer is no for good reasons.

I read the following:

1.There is work being done on a new Hero theme that is supposed to include the music player.

2. I read about a script recently that will merge a theme.zip and a build.zip and create a single update.zip file, to save a step. I haven't tried it, but you may want to in absence of an official build with the hero theme.
[G1 Android Development] missxoash:
really?

I will preface this with two things. I am sleep deprived. And thus, slightly cranky.

That being said, are you guys serious about liking the little android on your phone all the damn time, ie: on the lockscreen?

Before anyone gets up in arms and tells me that if I don't like it to look elsewhere, don't. I am computer and photoshop savvy enough that I can and have changed what I need to to enjoy the look of my phone.

But really? A little green cartoon? Do people not give a damn about their phone's looking somewhat professional and not littering them with little green aliens? I'm a 20 year old woman and I still value some sort of professionalism, I think it adds more legitimacy to our phones.

P.S. If you really like the little android guy so much, look in the themes section, there's a how to to get him onto your lockscreen.

All my app-private apps show up with their apk filenames with the gear icons. I have removed them from the app-private directory and re-installed from market and same thing occurs.

Any clue?
[G1 Android Development] Denkai:
format your ext3 (yes its an ext 3 now) via rm -r /system/sd/* in recovery menu console or adb in recovery menu, reflash build/themes and reboot.
[G1 Android Development] prash:
I told myself never to flash any experimental builds and wait on stable ones..but with CM rom's its pretty much like flashing a new stable build. I've been on 3.5.2 since it was out and honestly since 3.4 the update process and flashing between build has been smoother and smoother. I haven't experienced much in regards to bugs even on experimental builds.

Just wondering though, anyone else's 'chin' get a little heated with just normal use? It was not doing this before but sometimes it seems to just want to heat up. Can't find the cause yet.

Aside from that, awesome builds. Grabbed the new theme template too. You work too damn fast. Slow down and drink a few beers I sent you!
[G1 Android Development] ggrant3876:
Not receiving any Market updates, even though there are updates. Went through the list manually and found a couple.

That is a problem on all builds including stock by the looks of it. There are numerous threads about it in the Dream section ;)

HOT CHIN

On the 3.4 series I could cook an egg on the Chin. I found the problem occured most during market downloading and heavy surfing. I just flashed to 3.5.2, so can't comment on heat yet. So Far it seems to stay cool.
[G1 Android Development] zole2112:
Just a note on my "coma" experiences. I was experiencing the coma several times daily, sometimes within minutes of the previous coma. Sometimes I would have to remove the battery several times before it would boot. I went to charge my phone a couple of days ago but it hadn't charged at all overnight. I unplugged it and replugged it and it started to charge. After that I remembered that I had a problem charging that particular battery on my portable charger. I changed to my other battery and haven't experieced a coma in 2 days now. It looks like my problem was related to battery "health".

[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Hear hear! Cyanogen is slaving over optimizing the bleeding daylight out of Android (and doing a tremendous job) - and all some care about is there's a little Android icon or not?!?

[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
it's intended to be there from what i understand in the build update info on the first page.

i think if somethings intended to be there and it's not, cyanogen should be informed. maybe the stupid little andrpoid guy or the battery status icon NOT being there denotes there's other things wrong somewhere else. :P

3.5.2 is working flawlessly for me. Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] rsxtypes72:
Scary experimental build? Just wanted to say I've been testing your roms since you've put them out and I have not experienced any problems. Latest rom 3.5.2 is as stable and fast as ever. Great work!

Just a thought on what ppl are asking for. A double confirmation on shut down? Come on ppl are you serious! I also would like the rom to remain free of any theme regardless of how good that theme might be. Personally I think that's something that should be left up to the individual user. Also does the difference in the little android or battery meter really matter? Lets test and not nitpick over trivial things.
