compcahe @ 10 and...

I drove around for about an hour, listened to music and got a few calls. Incoming calls were transferred over to my headset correctly, music muted as expected and everything seemed fine.

Then I dropped into the local pub for a quick bite to eat and switched over to my laptop. I'm sitting here trying to get Gears to work on my phone again and chillin' to Yoshimi by TFL and BAM! I get a phonecall, the callerid screen lags like crazy and I can't answer the call until its too late. Took about 10 seconds for the phone to become responsive again so I could call the GF back (she's starting to wonder fellas, lets get this fixed b4 she kicks me outta the house).

To clarify, I was listening to tunes via my laptop, the phone had been rebooted within the last 10 minutes and was sitting idle on the table. So yeah, I'm seeing some lag, looks like compcache isn't paging active processes back into memory fast enough?

I've also been getting some FCs on messenger and android.home, usually when working in the browser. Alarm clock has been popping up as well and FCing which is odd as I have no alarms set. And calendar has been FCing as well, only occasionally. The only things I've done to modify 3.6.7.2 are installing the Louder Volume Hack and installing the HTCMusic app from the other thread on xda.

So what can I do to help test compcache cyanogen - you say the word ad its done.

EDIT: After going into browser settings, disabling Gears, rebooting, re-enabling Gears, rebooting and going to a google mail account: Clicking the "Update" link does nothing and Gears Settings leads to nowhere. Something seems broken here cyanogen.

I agree, there are too many people blaming the ROM for sporadic issues. If 99% of the people out there are fine and you're not, then it's something with your phone, download, flash, or whatever.

I agree with kockroach, check the md5sum, heck I'd even redownload the update and flash it again, just to be safe.

Nice..

Pretty strange.. using non rooted cupcake my bluetooth would not reliably connect with my bt audio in my car deck. It would connect, but the next time i got in the car, i would have to un-pair it from my g1, then re-enter the pairing key. very frikking annoying. Using CyanogenMod i am able to connect to the car EVERY TIME without doing anything! why?? There was some clicking and audio dropping at first, but after searching some forums i disabled the phone connection over BT (id rather stream music from my home pc to my car over 3g than use the phone.. how cool is that?) and now it works perfectly. I'm so happy, thanks!

I really wish I could try one of the hero builds, but unless bluetooth works perfectly, I won't.

Curious behavior of dalvik-cache and data directories

When I was using JF 1.5, I followed the steps elsewhere to copy the files in the /data/app, /data/app-private, /data/dalvik-cahce, and /data/data directories to /system/sd, removed the directories from /data, and created the symlinks. All looked good.

Today I installed Cyanogen's ROM. It created /system/sd/app, /system/sd/app-private, and /system/sd/dalvik-cache. I see that the files in /data/app and /data/app-private were moved to the corresponding directories in /system/sd and the directories in /data were replaced with symlinks. Looks good so far...

Then I noticed that /data/dalvik-cache still shows up as a directory, not a symlink. Why would I need a /data/dalvik-cache and a /system/sd/dalvik-cache? When I created a new file in /data/dalvik-cache, I could also see it in /system/sd/dalvik-cache. How is this happening without a symlink?

I also noticed that /data/data wasn't moved and symlinked to /system/sd/data. I booted into the recovery console, mounted /data and /system/sd, and manually moved and symlinked /data/data to /system/sd/data.

I rebooted. Opened a terminal window and noticed that what I did with /data/data was undone.

I'm confused about this...any ideas?

Quick question, how long has it been since you've wiped? I had 3.6.7.2 with compcache enabled and swapiness set to 20 and I did suffer from lagginess a bit. I had not wiped since CM 3.2. Last night I wiped and so far its been great. I have all the same shortcuts and widgets on my home screens as I did before the wipe and it is much more responsive now. BTW, my apps survived the wipe and I backed up and restored my data using Backup for Root Users.

Quote from Cyan's Twitter: "i'll get cm-3.6.8 out tomorrow, it will be based on android-1.5r3 (CRC1) with a few small changes"

about 1 hour ago from web http://twitter.com/cyanogen

Updates are always welcomed! :cool:

Keep up the great work!!
[G1 Android Development] innerspace:
Wiped before 3.6.7.1, installed that and about 15 minutes later 3.6.7.2 was released. Wiped again and installed 3.6.7.2. So any problems I've been having are either ROM related or due to something on my partition. That's the one thing I didn't do, repartition my sdcard. So when 3.6.8 comes out tomorrow (or whenever) I think I'll wipe the phone, blow out my sdcard and start from scratch. Reenable comcache with swappiness between 10 and 20 (15 maybe) and reinstall the Louder Audio Hack I purchased by Meltus. The only thing I've done to Cyanogens rom that is questionable is to install the HTCMusic app from the thread here on xda. From what I understand it depends on some files that are not included in Cyan3.6.7.2 and the latest version brings those files with it. I really do like that player a lot, really like the look of a lot of Hero's elements. If this is a nono please let me know Cyanogen, I want to contribute to the success of your builds, not cause more problems by contributing to the dialogue.
[G1 Android Development] xhoangx:
I see, good luck with that. I installed the HTCMusic app as well, and it hasn't shown any adverse effects so far. So that shouldn't be the problem.
[G1 Android Development] SiXiam:
Thanks Cyanogen for the great work!

I'm coming from the latest JF build and I had to do a wipe, because superuser was crashing, but it's looking good now!

I recommend putting a better note on the "audio resources", saying they need to be on your sd card specifically for your ring-tones to work, instead of just "unzip to your SD card", without any explanation. I figured it out, but it's hard going through all the posts of your massive popularity... :)

[G1 Android Development] openback:
I just tried installing 3.6.7.2, and during the phone setup screens, I had no signal, maps and phone force closed, and I couldn't even get past the set time screen. Any ideas why this could be? I tried wiping and flashing again, and I get the same thing each time.
[G1 Android Development] lukekirstein:
Glitch in the system somewhere. Try re-downloading the ROM and use the MD5 checksum...or try flashing 3.4.6 and see if that changes anything.
[G1 Android Development] lukekirstein:
I've always had to do that on any ROM, just because it takes one to wake up and another to unlock. Although, it could be do to system lag or system-hogging background processes.

[G1 Android Development] Droid8Apple:
i consider this a half-nooB question lol...

For most of my phones life I used JF’s ROMS, until of course I discovered CYAN (I kneel at this very name ;-) ) so before switching to 3.6.5 originally, I made a nandroid of JF1.51US, which contained all of my passwords from “OI Safe” and “Note Everything”. Once flashed, wiped, etc. to cyan, I realized that I didn’t utilize the “export to SD” feature in both of those apps. My bad. So I figured it was no big deal and tried to just restore back to my last JF ROM. When it failed I GUESSED that I would have to wipe, flash JF again, do recovery, export passwords and notes, wipe, flash CM, restore CM, and import… there HAS to be an easier way to do this LOL. Can anybody spare a few minutes for me? I would appreciate it.

How did your Nandroid backup recovery fail? The backup will restore all app data as well, literally just like it was when you backed it up. It's basically nothing short of a copy of your phone.

Google Gears IS messed up

3.6.7.2

Verfied with another 3.6.7.2 user on IRC.

GOOGLE GEARS DOES NOT WORK.

Can't get to the google gears settings in the menu, can't install google gears for gmail web, and google search web doesn't geo locate either.
[G1 Android Development] njuncos:
i guess i would have to confirm with you on this one...i figured it was just you and a few others at first, but no, i cannot get gears working either.
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
what do you mean gears, are not working on the 3.6.7.2 .. just checked and i can get into the settings menu, location works fine, gmail web works too...

UPGRADED from 3.6.5 with no problems... and did the compcache script also...
[G1 Android Development] lukekirstein:

[G1 Android Development] nxt:
Those that have google gears working, you've had it working before right then updated to latest rom.

I did a wipe and installed 3.6.7.2 so I don't have google gears installed at all, and now it won't install.
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
You may be right and I was wondering the same thing as I wrote my previous post...

You could try flashing to an older ROM, get Google Gears working, then flash 3.6.7.1...or see if it's working in 3.8 when it comes out (tomorrow?).
[G1 Android Development] njuncos:
i did a wipe too before installing 3.6.7.2 and i guess that is why mine is not working too?? no biggie really as i am sure 3.6.8 will have it working again for me.

is it an actual app in applications? cause i went to manage applications and i dont see it.

no location is being found in browser and gmail icon that says update for faster doesn't do anything. i click it and it stays there.
[G1 Android Development] njuncos:
i wonder if we can pull it from 3.6.7.1 or earlier??

I am in trouble. I get a message saying: "Removed SD Card" in the notification and I am getting force closes in apps which access sd card.

Why did it remove my sd card? I have the following partition structure"

c (formatted fat32) 2GB - this is what used for upgrading the radio and rom.

83 (formatted ext4) 6GB

c (formatted fat32) 7GB

82 (mkswapped) whatever left off from 16GB card.

Is this structure causing the issues? I used Linux 2.6.30 and e2fsprogs 1.41.7 to format ext4 and dosfstools 3.0.2 to format fat32 FSs.

I ran fix_permissions from recovery console because I was getting FCs in powermanager (which logs files on SD card).

Appreciate your help!

Hi cyanogen, any chance of making a HTC Magic version? :P Thanks for all the hard work!
[G1 Android Development] Droid8Apple:
nandroid

thanks for the response... but that was my question to "senior members" such as yourself. while on cyans ROM and recovery image, will a nandroid containing JF's ROM go smoothly, or will i have to flash back to his rom?

I.E.- im running cyan's 3.6.7.2, i try to "restore most recent nandroid", but the nandroid i need for passwords and such was from when i was using JF1.51US. so, do i need to do the list of flashes and wipes mentioned previously, or is there an easier way?

backuproot

yesi have BackupRoot installed and also use it for my app data, dictionary, etc., when switching builds. BUT, i believe that i copied over the backuproot containing the information i needed before flashing the new SPL. in the same night i switched to cyans rom, his recovery, and a hard spl. so because backup root (unlike nandroid) copies over information instead of creating new folders and dating/timing them, im rather screwed in that department as well. but thank you for your reply, any help is appreciated!

Google is your friend

Cyanogen's major innovation for a2sd with these builds is buried in the change log of 3.4.3: "we now have automatic A2SD using bind mounts". If you Google "Linux mount bind" you'll come up with some info about what this means.

ext4 can handle very large filesystem. definitely more than 6GB. I did not make it that big for apps2sd. That's the usual structure I have and I will probably use this card in future to put linux on that 6gb partition.

But the question was about the message "Removed SD card". Why am I getting that message?
[G1 Android Development] devsk:
Also, if I boot into the recovery console, I can mount /sdcard and it automatically mounts the first fat32 partition on /sdcard. I can 'fdisk -l' and see all my partitions are there. So, its not a hardware issue. Some sort of chicken&egg because of apps2sd. But I don't know enough about apps2sd.

Can someone please help?
[G1 Android Development] devsk:
I just mounted the partition2 (which is ext4) in recovery console and I can see there are "app app-private dalvik-cache lost+found" folders on it. So, it looks like normally initialized. What's going on?
[G1 Android Development] devsk:
Can someone please help me get my SD card recognized again? Will really appreciate your help!

My suggestion is back up everything then reformat your sdcard, partitions and all. And unless you can't live without it, try getting rid of the 2nd fat32 partition.

modulated praise

I think Cyanogen is absolutely pushing the Android platform farther, faster and harder than any other devs around and I am probably stuck on his ROMs for the forseeable future.

That said, his work is not completely above criticism and I think there's a bit of a defensive trend in this thread to "not blame the ROM" when in fact these are basically experimental builds and undeniably do suffer growing pains. I love playing with the latest, fastest build and trying out the most recent mods, but I think Cyanogen's followers (and especially his casual followers) would be well served if the "stable" declaration were reserved for more thoroughly tested stuff.

I like the idea of the "scary experimental builds", but I feel like that initiative has become derailed and the latest performance enhancing tweaks are deemed "stable" simply because the phone is functioning (arguably one definition of stable, assuming we can agree on a working definition of "functioning" of course).

I've been playing around with 3.6.7.2 and reading about compcache all day, but I've got important stuff to do tomorrow and my phone has GOT TO WORK. Consequently, like several other folks in this thread, I've reverted back to 3.6.5 for now.

Don't get me wrong, I am ecstatic that Cyanogen is thrashing the Android platform (and the poor G1) for all its worth and I think the community will ultimately be served handsomely by his efforts. I would not recommend that every newly rooted user jump on the Cyanogen tip however unless they have a lot of free time on their hands and the will to "USE THE FREAKIN' SEARCH FUNCTION" and readreadread.

I agree....The BEST, CUTTING-EDGE (so called as you MUST BLEED!!!!), even with all the warnings CM puts at the start of the download....folks still "see" Stable as "T-Mobile/Google" stock - Maybe wording like "THIS WILL take a lot of your time/effort if you are 'new' to (UNIX) might give folks a pause."
