First post....

Muddled through rooting my G1 yesterday and flashed to 3.6.7.2, and again to 3.6.8 this morning.

As others have reported camcorder is borked.

The accelerometer seems fine though as Teeter works really well.

My only regret is not having rooted the phone long ago! :D
[G1 Android Development] broncosfantx:
anyone else having programs like meebo or facebook or my space log off after a few minutes and having to log i again and have to put all the information in again it seems as if it clears cookies and everything anytime the phone screen times out.
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
its coded into the rom part of the optimization, so its not really a good idea to do that. the battery life on cyans rom is great. what's ur reason for wanting to downclock?
[G1 Android Development] Hummeroid:
So, I flashed with this, and I have to say, speed is AWESOME. I wasnt running apps2sd before however, and when I partitioned my sd, I left far too large a chunk of it in ext. What sort of repercussions would I have by re-partitioning thru your recovery image? Will it boot? Will I just have to re-download apps from market? Should I wipe, repartition, re-flash, then download apps?

Also, how much phone system mem are you guys getting as free on this? Im showing only 51Mb
[G1 Android Development] rwphwp:
Thanks for the suggestion, but that didn't do it. If it helps, I had to reflash with the .nbh and then work my way back to this build. Could it have something to do with the model number being Android Dev Phone 1?
[G1 Android Development] sxfx:
GUYS Quick question.

What does adb push do different then just mounting your SD card in Linux and doing a copy paste?

Im talking about the ext2/3 partition not fat32, when you try to push system files and such.
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
nothing, it's the exact same thing. it's just 1 less step to use adb because you don't have to mount the filesystems, you just push.
[G1 Android Development] D-e-v-i-l:
See i use both of them

@cyanogen

:-( i like ash
[G1 Android Development] dakiz71:
I still have dramatic problems with mms! I am 100% sure that I lost ability to receive mms at a certain point when updating from one cyanogen build to another. APN is the same as before, but I am no more able to receive any MMS.

Obviously I tried to change APN and other different things but it's now certain it's not an APN matter anymore. It must be something in the rom. I use to update without wiping, maybe I should format ext3 partition and wipe :(

Is there any possible ADB solution to re-gain MMS functionality without wiping and updating again? Everything else is working flawlessly (no force closes and thing like that...), I really would like not to start all over again!

any help is very appreciated!
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
With adb push, you can push to any R/W (on the phone) mounted file system from any OS. Mounting the SD card limits you to what file system(s) your OS can mount on the SD card - in Windows only the FAT partition.

[G1 Android Development] innerspace:
Funny thing is

All my root tasks are functioning just fine :)

I wiped and did sdcard format again before installing in this order -> 3.4.6 -> 3.6.5 -> 3.6.8. I didn't even do the setup wizard until 3.6.8 or install anything else. SU Permissions works, apps like Adfree work just fine. So for those having problems with ash, did you wipe or just do an incremental update from a previously used installation?

Also - RE: BLUETOOTH - I have noticed some strange behavior when connecting to known devices with this build, though I've seen it before intermittently (can't remember which builds). The phone will connect to the device for a few seconds, then disconnect and cycle through all known devices, then reconnect to the one I want. This cycle repeats itself until I do one of the following. 1 - Turn bluetooth off then back on again. 2 - Go into the devices options and adjust its connection properties ie: turn off phone audio for my headphones if its turned on. or 3 - Unpair and repair the device. Option 1 seems to work on 3.6.8, I've had other builds where I was forced to repair each time it happened.

Just a heads up on that Cyan.
[G1 Android Development] lyric911:
Anybody else having trouble with Teeter? The game launches just fine, but within ~5 seconds of starting the game, it freezes up. My accelerometer is otherwise working just fine. Before the game freezes, the ball will roll in the direction of the G1's tilt...right up until the app freezes.

I'm on 3.6.8. I can't say for sure if this most recent update caused it or not since I hadn't played in a while.

Did not wipe when I upgraded. Hoping somebody has some suggestions before I'm forced to wipe/reflash to see if that takes care of it.
[G1 Android Development] SharpieMarker:
Has anyone had any problems running videos with Meridian with this rom? I get audio only and choppy video initially until it just sticks on one frame and continues to play audio. Worked in JF1.51, encoded as h.264 mp4 with all of the recommended settings (resolution, bitrate, etc).

I'd really like to be able to watch video with this rom and if anyone has any better solutions than meridian, please let me know. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
i've been naughty and i havent wiped for awhile jeez since 3.4.5 or something. i am paying for it now with all my theme updating and rom updating now im stuck getting all app forcecloses like crazy noooooooooooooooooooo im wiping and reflashing 3.6.8 now
[G1 Android Development] jayb222:
I'm on 3.6.7 and have the same problem. I can send mms just fine but can't receive them anymore.
[G1 Android Development] oldsk00lz:
In my case, after a proper 100% reboot, it lasted a long time. The next night, I charged, but did not do a reboot at all. The power dwindled. Seems that yes, a reboot under 100% may be one cause, but in general, something else may be affecting the calibration/monitoring/or actual draining.

-oldsk00lz
[G1 Android Development] facelessuser:
I was getting really frustrated with the battery. It was draining at warp speed. I did a number of things. Dropped in a spare battery that I have never used, and trained it; still power drained too fast. Rebooted at 100%: great battery life again. Something really goofy is going on with battery calibration. I seriously thought for a while that the ROM was draining my battery, or my battery was dying. Turns out the battery and the ROM were fine. This calibration thing needs to be fixed.
[G1 Android Development] Hiretto:
Nothing to do... Copilot with apps2sd doesn't work ( crash after the second time I use it ). Any solution?
[G1 Android Development] loomism2:
That's funny, I was about to post how this optimized rom is great on battery life! Last night at midnight I went to bed and the phone was at 53% with normal use all day, which is unbelievable! Today though it is on the charger right now after dropping to 28% by 5:30pm. Weird.

EDIT: I guess I should have mentioned that was with 3.6.7. Just d/l'ed 3.6.8 to try, but it is the best rom out there so far!
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
PEOPLE! The Battery Issues Isn't Specific to Cyanogen's ROM

The battery issue isn't specific to Cyanogen's ROM...the problem exists with all ROMs and Cyanogen is aware of it and looking into the cause.
[G1 Android Development] oldsk00lz:
email notifications or sync issue?

CM 3.6.8.

Okay, seems that my Work Email is having an issue with notifications or with the actual push sync. This is randomly happening. First time I noticed, I had no notifications, and went into Work email. It then synced up and downloaded a few recent emails (that were missing). So it looked like was not syncing "as items arrive."

I changed to 5minutes, and then back to as items arrive.

I saw one similar delay afterwards. Besides that it has been syncing fine. I'll keep an eye out and report if I notice a recurring issue or identify anything while troubleshooting.

Just wanted to get this out there in case its a larger issue.

-oldsk00lz
[G1 Android Development] dakiz71:
is there anybody out there with 3.6.8 who is actually receiving mms regularly?

I need to have this info before wiping and reflashing...
[G1 Android Development] dixxa:
I am.

you just need to configure the right apn
[G1 Android Development] AndroidFiend:
ok ive done alot of searching around the forums and cant find the answer to my question on how to go from jachero to cyanogen rom

do i just flash as if it was a normal rom?
[G1 Android Development] dakiz71:
nope it's the same apn I used when MMS was working, I think it's because I flashed from 3.6.1 till now without ever wiping. I'll wait for the next version and then format ext3 partition, wipe and flash.
[G1 Android Development] cronin4392:
Im having this weird problem with Cyan's ROMs. The problem i notice is that sometimes when i unlock my phone either:

a) No home screen is centered/its in between 2 home screens

b) An icon is in the move state where instead of the menu bar is the delete bar at the bottom

i can easily get out of these by just touching the home screen, but they are both annoying. Im not sure if they are problems with Cyans ROMs or what. Ive done a few wipes and still experience these problems and did not see these problems with other ROMs or before 3.6ish.
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
Hey, I just came home from work and while I was using google maps it kept saying "Low on memory, traffic has been turned off" I have googled a little bit and found a couple of people mentioning it but nothing on a fix or anything. I looked in this thread and didn't find anything either.

Any idea on a fix?

(please don't say the cliche "Google It" or "Read the $^&* threads" because I did)
[G1 Android Development] kockroach:
You didn't search the one spot that you needed to search. Look at the FAQ in post one of this thread.
[G1 Android Development] lukekirstein:
There's an option under its page in Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Google Maps to clear the cache. If worse comes to worse, you can reinstall.

How much internal memory do you have?
[G1 Android Development] lyric911:
More Teeter info:

It only locks up if I make the ball roll very fast as best I can tell. If I limp along really slow it doesn't seem to freeze up.
[G1 Android Development] AngryCookieMonster:
RE: Alarm Bug

Yep, I do a nandroid backup then i go to console and run reboot recovery then i i wipe and flash. never had a problem by doing this, i re-flashing now to see i can reproduce the bug, i want to assume maybe it was just a bad install and the area may have been corrupted during the install........

I assume maybe it was caused by my error in flashing the 3.6.7.2 kspec kustoms oreo theme on the 3.6.8 rom, but all is working now with issues w/kspec kustom theme 3.6.8.
[G1 Android Development] Elloco305:
Hello, all.

I have an issue. And found no fix. Camera app force closes when i try to record a video. Any ideas?? And if i revert to an older vrsn, e.x. 3.6.5?
[G1 Android Development] hiroots:
i recorded a video today.
[G1 Android Development] Elloco305:
I have re flashed the rom about 3 times now. 1 w/o wipe and 2 w/ wipe. Don't see why i can't record video. >.<

Thanks for your update, though.
[G1 Android Development] shizeon:
I noticed the same thing today. Video that used to play fine is now very choppy and does freeze in Meridan. I see the same thing in the stock video player. Might have some problem in the corevideo subsystem/codecs. Running 3.6.8.
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
I'm not sure the best way to find out the internal memory but I just wiped and reinstalled this ROM. I had TheDudes version.

Ill try the Cache thing
[G1 Android Development] Elloco305:
Settings -> SD card & phone storage -> Internal phone storage -- Availabe space:
[G1 Android Development] TheGreenJester:
There was a memory leak with traffic info in the first copy of google maps to be released on the market. It was fixed fairly quickly, but make sure you don't have the older version. I've not used the traffic feature often, but they did supposedly fix the error you are reporting.
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
Yeah, I'm an idiot lol.....

It says 64mb plus the secondary of 493mb

I just downloaded google maps from the market to replace the one I had and I cleared the cache. I hope that will fix it but I won't know until I use the maps while driving again.
[G1 Android Development] richpadg:
I have the same problem, I am not able to record video. I can take pics just fine though. Maybe this will be fixed with the next release.
[G1 Android Development] njuncos:
Guys, come on, have you read the last 25 pages?? i mean, it is mentioned again and again that in 3.6.8 the camcorder broke because in the new android 1.5r3, there is an additional permission required for the camera app...cyan is aware and has already said it is a simple fix for the next version.
[G1 Android Development] joadchob:
and what about youtube problem ? i cant see videos using youtube only listen the sound
[G1 Android Development] lukekirstein:
In Cyan's mod, it has it's own little section in SD Card and Memory.
[G1 Android Development] njuncos:
same here, i am willing to bet that the new build has this fixed...he will up it later tonight.
[G1 Android Development] joadchob:
hope so, will be waiting for it :D !!! gracias x el dato
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
I don't have any of these issues. =/

I'm browsing http://android.git.kernel.org/?o=age (I sorted it for most recent changes at the top) but can't really make sense of the changes.

Does anyone know what the major changes are in r3 in laymen's terms?
[G1 Android Development] SHoWTyMe23:
This is the 2nd time i tried to flashed to ur latest rom but during the reboot process it seems like its staying there forever at the G1 logo. I know u said the 1st boot is pretty long, but how long is it I been waiting for a good 2hrs just about. Im trying to flashed from the JF, do I need to wipe first or hard spl??

any help is appreciated, thanx (noob at this)
[G1 Android Development] All~G1:
I had the same problem last night. Do this to make it easier on yourself:

DL Backup for root users

Save files that are necessary

Reboot recovery

Wipe

Flash CM-3.6.8

Sign-in

Restore with Backup for root users

I didn't think of backing up and I had to redo everything. Wipe did fix it though! GL
[G1 Android Development] kormanb1123:
Guys relax, let man do his work. Caynogen wrote on Twitter, that we can expect new update later tonight
[G1 Android Development] stopjockingme@gmail.com:
This is True. Its best to just wait til the man himself release the update.

overclock widget / setcpu / swapper

Is anyone having issues with any of these?

Overclock doesnt seem to want to make changes.

setcpu freezes, i have to pull the battery.

Swapper... I tried to turn it off and it froze too.

I still have root, but its acting funny.

Help?
[G1 Android Development] hamshu:
Since this has been posted already, I'll keep it short, GApps crashes when you try to refresh in GMail.

Problem installing packages.

Getting a problem installing packages.. you may already know about this, didnt see it in the last few pages.

Might be my problem, might not, downloading previous version to find something that works.
[G1 Android Development] painrage:
big problem caused a small thing

Well all of a sudden I got hit with a mess of problems that have been posted. my sig states what I was running at the time. So my phone suddenly started going "coma". Did it twice and had to pull the battery. Came back up after the second time and said "no sdcard" and I said "oh %$#@" so fixed file system and rebooted then every single app fc so I deleted what was on my ext partition except lost and found and wiped and flashed back too 365 so. ..

Wasn't fun but its. Working anyways I do have the lock screen bugg it won't. Wake up to show caller id!!!! Go fig
[G1 Android Development] facelessuser:
Anyone else have an issue with the gmail app? I mark X mail read and the inbox count goes down. Later when I come, back it reads that I have X + new mail. Basically, mail is not getting marked read in gmail, but it is in the phone. So my email count slowly grows until I mark them read on my computer. I have never had this issue before until these last two ROMS. Is this a common unrelated issue? I haven't been able to find any info on this.
[G1 Android Development] chevycowboyusa:
Hmmmmmm

thanks... Sandhawk / lukekirstein / Mikey => I didn't loose root. I still can get the # ... And I have Painfully read EVERY page of this and a few other threads.

I ran Fix_permissions successfully and with no problems (just to test root). I have wiped / reformatted my 16 gb sdcard / I have ext2 ext3 linux-swap (14/1/1 gb)

and reflashed.

same thing.
[G1 Android Development] webgrafix:
What I am having serious issues with all day today is when my phone rings, it takes forever for me to see who is calling. The screen stays black for multiple rings.

I remember a few releases back people were having this issue, and my phone was OK. But now I am dealing with it.

Does anyone have any ideas or tweaks I may have missed to fix this?
[G1 Android Development] babauv:
Yes, I have exactly the same problem.
[G1 Android Development] merps:
dumb, mute, point but you could just adb pull, include the line @ the top '#!/system/bin/sh' then adb push it back also...
[G1 Android Development] ScottGood:
Im having an issue with the market. When i go to all apps and list by popularity its fine but list by newest gives me only 8 or so apps. Is anyone else having this issue?
[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
Wouldn't a mute point be one that is never said?? :p

Seriously, I guess I don't know scripting well enough to understand the point of that "pull then push back" comment, could you elaborate, I am always anxious to learn new ways to do things!
[G1 Android Development] NguyenHuu:
this happens to me too. also it notice lag everytime i exit an app to go back to the home screen. it takes a while for it fully load.

im not sure if its the rom or if it is cuz i switched to ext3

A Modified Launcher?

Hey Cyan,

Take a look at this modified launcher thread which will enable us to hide certain apps from the app drawer. What do you say about adding it to one of your future roms?
[G1 Android Development] isikh:
Yeah the calling problem is happening to me as well, where it's a black screen for a while. Also, I am getting the problem where it takes the home screen time to load..I thought it was the amount of Apps I have so I uninstalled quite a few but, not really a difference..Also, my rotating isn't really working, I have it checked in settings, all this stuff worked fine the last release, is it possible to reflash the last release?
[G1 Android Development] shawnjay:
me too

Ive noticed this too. I swear mine gets crazy when get a call and let it ring it just stays black:eek:Y me? and when i have too many sms and email coming at once the screen jus blacks out for a few seconds.

Yes please!

Test Findings

Hope this helps move us forward....

1. Battery

With Battery Graph (free) one can see the 'all-over-the-place' readings. Sometimes a task takes less than 1% and other times 10% (like reading mail-rebooting-calling). Therefore to get a baseline of some kind (as all tasks are not equal) , I ran a few test (After a 100% charge) with Video-Music non-stop and would get about 3 ½ hrs on stock Battery (04 HTC sent replacement), about 3 hrs on stock Battery (02 -1st came with G1), and about 5 ½ hrs on my Cameron Sino 2200 Battery (large back cover-lowered feeling the “HEAT” as more room between cover and heat source, maybe air flow lowers temp or just away from it lessens 'HOT' feeling).

2. Forced Close Items (FC)

While booting takes about one minute after first updates (e.g. <=30 sec for T-Mobile/G1 and <= 45 sec for Android/etc), it sometimes take about a second (2nd) full minute until the notification bar gets populated when I have items (battery, weather, toggle, etc icons in it). IF I DO NOT WAIT until everything is loaded/set, I get FC after sometime. Mostly after an update, however, other times it “magically” started again. The only way I could 'make it happen' was to start using the G1 after the 2nd screen booted yet before the notification bar was fully populated. If these same apps are just on the home screen or in folders not FC issues, however, if once put there and then removed FC issues happen, randomly.

3. SLOW G1

I also notice that as my SDcards (class2, 4, and/or 6) got many files on it, the G1 would slow down until I re-formed (defrag took to long) the FAT. Then back to normal quickness.

WONDERING -

I keep reading to not have large EXT(2-3-4) yet was wondering, if Android is Linux-based why? As the de-frag would not be as bad. I have 2GB of music, 2GB of video, and 1GB of files on top of G1 apps/files which shows over 1,000's of files on the SDcard. Then updating a few times a day (updates do come out fast...:D) and/or testing themes/updates...a lot of deleting-adding files.

So, the question I have not been able to find an answer to is why not have everything possible on an EXT vs on FAT (MUSIC/VIDEO), more so as 16GB card are coming down in price (just saw them for less than $30 with Rebate).

anyone having problems with the auto-rotate? ...
