Weird. I used to have this problem too. I'm in Texas and It would always say I am somewhere in New Mexico in all these apps (I forget which city). So, up until now I've always been manually putting my zip code in all the apps or using gps to pin point my location. But after seeing your post, I decided to test it in a few apps (Places Directory, Beautiful Widgets, Movies by Flixster, and USA Today app), and I get the correct location with both 3g and wifi. Nonetheless, I do not think its the ROM's fault.
[G1 Android Development] ScottGood:
WOW, Thank you Mikey, I'm liking the attitude, just a quick "OFF TOPIC" question to you, do you think we can give the OP of all threads a lil power to mod their own thread of off topic issues and users the ability to delete there own posts? I hate the occasional Double post when replying...

Now back on topic, Cyan, What are your plans for the next release? do you you think you can give us a taste of whats on the menu? Is there any chance of you adding more options for changing the GUI?
[G1 Android Development] Mikey:
Unfortunately NO :(

We are looking to bring that feature back :)
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
Thanks Mikey!

Am I the only one getting force closes with the android market??? I can't download anything. As soon as I click market, it goes to it then says "a server error has occured. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen". I click retry but it doesn't work. I rebooted, didn't work. I'll try reflashing and update this thread in a bit.
[G1 Android Development] simplyTravis:
ARRRGHHH

Ok, I tried to run a userinit.sh that had some screwy stuff in it and now my phone stays at the G1 logo. No problem, I just need to do a nandroid backup pre-compcache and re-flash the latest rom. Heck, compcache has been slowing my phone down since I added Google Voice. Well, I did that and now when I load the newest ROM it goes freezes at the G1 screen again?. Anyone else run in to this problem?

Suggestions?

I think a wipe is in my future.
[G1 Android Development] xhoangx:
Well, nandroid only does a backup of the internal storage. So, the userinit.sh file is still there, its in system/sd/ which is on the sd card. You can probably use adb from the recovery menu to remove it or you can also probably use the console from recovery to do it.
[G1 Android Development] lukekirstein:
If you're putting your cache's on the SD card with the TA Utility app, you need to re-run it. I figured this one out after hours of trouble shooting :D
[G1 Android Development] simplyTravis:
I removed it using oi file manager in the main part of the SD card already. Or is system/sd/ on my ext2/3 partition?
[G1 Android Development] njuncos:
yes it is on your ext partion...remove using terminal or adb

personally, i sometimes use root explorer as well. yeah, it costs a buck or two, but i have found it more than useful when i don't always wanna use terminal, adb
[G1 Android Development] njuncos:
for example,

adb remount
adb shell rm /system/sd/userinit.sh
adb reboot
[G1 Android Development] simplyTravis:
Thanks a ton! I'm gonna post some of this info for the people in the userinit.sh tutorial in case they run in to the same problem.
[G1 Android Development] painrage:
as long u can boot into recovery u can drop to terminal and type this:

mount /system/sd

rm /system/sd/userinit.sh

this may be more userfreindly on the fly and if u still have your update.zip on board just reflash without the userinit.sh it should start up fine after a no wipe flash

ps. type

reboot recovery

in the terminal to get back to recovery mode for the reflash
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
or just type

recovery
[G1 Android Development] maennj:
Hi,

Did you remove a file named "am" by any chance. Because I after I flashed this ROM, I tried to launch an application I developed through the eclipse and I got "ActivityManager: /system/bin/sh: am: not found"
[G1 Android Development] painrage:
themes are out people lol but man cyanogen is popular

Battery cooler

So, I have two (2) G1's set up the same now. One with the 2200 battery and the 2nd with the stock '04' battery as you can see in the attached:

2200 with LARGE back runs about 76 degrees, while the 'regular' back runs about 96 degrees. The airflow or is it this battery runs cooler which is why it is rated at 2200, just something for those that have 'HOT' G1's to think about.

See my other posts with details of testing so far...:D
[G1 Android Development] maennj:
I can see the file "am" is there in shell. but it keeps saying "am: file not found". Any ideas ?
[G1 Android Development] tekkitan:
Anyone else experiencing lots of lag during normal use? Been an annoyance ever since moving from 3.6.5. Running 3.6.8.1 after a wipe.

google maps 3.1.2 not installing

Anyone else having problems installing the new google maps update, 3.1.2. I get a "package not signed" error. Any ideas?

Cyanogen,

Can you maybe include this new updated version of maps in the next update? Thanks!!
[G1 Android Development] lukekirstein:
No problem! I'm glad I could help someone out!
[G1 Android Development] josepz:
I can´t install apps via usb, as I always did with old roms...when I execute "adb install C:\app.apk" the answer is "/system/bin/sh: pm: not found"...

This happen with Cyanogen, even app2sd or not.

Somebody with the same?
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
Here you go buddy :)

unzip then install the apk. I don't know if you'll be able to update through the market btw, but at least it will hold you over until things are sorted out.
[G1 Android Development] JanBo:
Updated my HTC Magic Nordic.

Tether dont start, missing iptables.

What to do?
[G1 Android Development] Radeonus:
I recently discovered Auto Sync doesn't work properly. I was wondering why I don't get any emails and the problem was auto sync was inactive. I ticked it, and two minutes later it was inactive again. I tried to activate it several times without success.

I even wiped and installed fresh.

Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

Anyway... great work Cyan! By far the best ROM!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] sputnik99:
Like others, I experienced som trouble while downloading from the market. Although signing into Google talk resolves the problem, this seems to be necessary after each update of cm.

Can this be integrated in the os?
[G1 Android Development] elzee:
Done and thanks for all your great work! :)
[G1 Android Development] revwillie:
yes, I was about to ask the same thing. I did not wipe going from 3671 to 368 and then 3681. Scrolling in the browser is horrible now. I was thinking my touch screen might be going bad. I might restore my 3671 nandroid backup to see if it helps.
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
Yep I'm seeing this as well.

Are u using compcache or a swap?

I'm not seeing a slowdown w 3.6.5.
[G1 Android Development] innerspace:
you sir, you are the best...

and responses like this are why:

I am seeing something strange today with 3.6.8.1, especially when watching video or texting. Auto-rotate will shift from landscape to portrait and back again without me moving the phone at all. Seems like the accelerometer is overly sensitive.

Did I miss a bug report? Or a fix?
[G1 Android Development] metasage:
I have noticed a lot of lag since 3.6.5 as well.. I will try disabling compcache to see if that's the culprit.

Oh, and I've also noticed the accelerometer is super-sensitive! When I pick up the phone it tries to rotate one way or another and hangs at that damn dimmed screen until it finds itself.
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Lost camera

Then we're at least 2 (3?) facing this anomaly. Previously, I could install Camera.apk from my SD card (with Astro) but now (last 3-4 versions) I have to install it with ADB. By no means a deal breaker, but a slight annoyance.

/Mats
[G1 Android Development] richpadg:
Ok, starting to see a lag problem. No major, but some windows close slower than before. Here's is what I did for the last update.

New SD card (8gb Class 6), formatted FAT 32, 500mb ext3 partition

Flashed 3.6.8.1

Enabled Compcache

No themes installed as of now

Reinstalled apps

That's all I've really done so far. Any help on what would be causing the lag?
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Is the Search function broken? ;-) A known and by now well documented problem with 3.6.8, fixed in 3.6.8.1

/Mats
[G1 Android Development] bsander:
I also have lag problems, but the strange thing is they mostly only appear when using the notification pulldown bar. Apps start fine and are still pretty responsive, but when I try to drag the top bar downwards, it only responds after 5+ seconds. Clocking any notification is lagged, and dragging the bar up again takes the same amount of time. However, dragging the menu container upwards is still working fine.
[G1 Android Development] thetaylor:
On install for 3.6.8.1 I get the following message while verifying:

system/usr/srec/config/en.us/models/generic11_f.swindl

Verification failed.

What's this about then? Downloaded the file twice with the same error. Done a wipe and running the 26I.
[G1 Android Development] thenefield:
I have also been experiencing lag ever since 3.6.5. I have been keeping 3.6.5 as a backup. I have tried the 3.7.x builds and the 3.8.x builds. I am just using the Swapper app and have it set to 16MB with 10 swapiness.

But I also wanted to say that I greatly appreciate all the hard work you are doing Cyanogen. Keep up the great work man!

EDIT: I finally took some time to try and create an actual swap partition as opposed to having a swap file and copied over the userinit.sh for enabling CompCache (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=537236). I also finally converted from ext3 to ext4. I am not getting the lag I previously had. It is amazingly gone.
[G1 Android Development] mavgink:
maybe it's me but i used to have a fat32 and an ext partition. I set up swapper myself.

now i reformatted my sd card and created a linux swap partition, the swapper app is missing. Does this mean anything?
[G1 Android Development] IamLugo:
Sure thing, I'll try to upload the file this afternoon. I'll DM you a link if I can get it uploaded. A few friends of mine on twitter are asking for it too so I'll also tweet with a link if all goes well.

@IamLugo
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
I think the lagginess is from the cgroup additions and/or using 7zip to compress the images in the apk files (since they now need to be uncompressed to be used).
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I'm going to play around with the compression to see if I can get a good balance of performance and space usage.
[G1 Android Development] mikfento:
I'm a bit new with this stuff, but I'm really confused as to what's happening.

I Installed the latest Caynogen build yesterday, and it runs great, except now I am having the accelerometer problems. I tried dropping to console and typing the commands in the first post but I get the same thing every time:

Press <enter>

/ # mount/data

sh: mount/data: not found

No matter what I do this always happens. In fact I tried partitioning my SD this way and had the same problem.

What am I missing? Any clues? (Running the laters Cyan recovery as well)
[G1 Android Development] yukkio:
cyanogen I've installed your rom (super fast dude!). I've selected spanish language but there are things without translating like Market. Is it normal? Or your rom is fully spanish?

Thanks.

BR.
[G1 Android Development] itp:
How much space is the compression saving? I think in the steady-state I'd rather higher performance over space, even if it means having to lose things like Work Mail (which can always be installed manually, no?).
[G1 Android Development] pinetreehater:
Cannot seem to find the answer on my own....does this ROM have the Louder audio hack by Meltus? Seems kind of loud, but may be a placebo effect.
[G1 Android Development] ScottGood:
Did you type a space?

Type the following hitting <enter> after each line:

mount <space> /data
cd <space> data
cd <space> misc
rm <space> akmd_set.txt
reboot
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I haven't touched any of the translations that ship with Cupcake. Market is closed source, so we can't easily add translations anyway.

You're missing a space.

mount /data
rm /data/misc/akmd*

Several megs, which is important because it keeps the requirement for changing the SPL out of the picture. I have some new ideas and plan on starting up a new experimental branch to test some of these ideas out.
[G1 Android Development] prettyboy85712:
No. Very early versions did, but latest CM ROMS do not.
[G1 Android Development] ScottGood:

Sweet! I love ventures like those, they are fun :D

But hopefully it won't get cluttered like the last one with thousands of repeat questions {;);) Mikey are you reading me?;);)}
[G1 Android Development] yukkio:
Ok :( I thought It was easy to translate because all other roms I installed It had fully spanish translation.

Would i translate if I install other Market from other rom?
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
cant you employ the strategy that the hero roms use which is to put the system apps on the sdcard and symlink them over? In fact that would probably give a little performance boost since a class 6 sdcard is around 5x faster than the internal flash.
[G1 Android Development] zimphishmonger:

do all the newest version of this rom that are coming out work on rogers?

If yes, if there's a particular rooting tutorial for CM or should i just use any other dream rooting tutorial? Or can anyone link me to the most recent/reliable, because i've sweet couple of them so far.

Oh and in the main thread, you should maybe make a list of Knownbug/missing functionalities (if there's any). Because i'm wondering if every core functionality (phonecalls, sms, wifi, bluetooth,etc...) works on this.

Thanks alot for the rom, developers updating this often are kinda rare.

Missing Home Screen Icons ...

I recently encountered an issue where my home screen would load without all my icons, folders, widgets etc. Just a blank screen. It would stay like this indefinitely. I could still switch between the 5 different desktops, but they were all blank. I could also still access my Apps drawer at the bottom and all apps are still available. BTW, this is the default HTC-based home screen included with Cyanogen's ROM.

To make the long story short, I discovered that this was caused by an issue with loading the widgets I had included on my desktop.

To fix it, I simply had to apply a similar approach as was done for fixing the auto-rotate issue.

1) open a console.

2) rm /data/system/appwidgets.xml

3) reboot

After reboot, the appwidgets.xml file will repopulate without any widgets included. You will have to add back any widgets you want displayed on your desktop.

Hope that helps someone else who may have experienced a similar issue.

So, whats next for this mod? It seems like optimizations are all done and everything else has been updated to the latest and greatest... Where does it go from here?

[G1 Android Development] warburto:
you need to boot into recovery and then drop to the console. It will work then.
[G1 Android Development] ScottGood:
My friend, I am no genius, Nor are you a Moron.

We have just gone through what you are going through.

Learning what the Hell to do by trial and error.

By reading your post and looking at your error message, I saw that you had an error that many tend to have, looking at commands that someone else has posted it's sometimes hard to tell where the Spaces are.

some of us are more akin to the details, or a more stubborn and refuse to take an error as a mistake, and keep trying till it clicks that there is an error in what is being typed.

As a rule of thumb when you get an error look at what you typed in and check it against what you are copying, if you think there is a space there probably is one. and lastly never ever call yourself a moron, or any of the like because giving yourself low self-esteem makes others look down on you.
[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
At least you offered to help! Good Going

Nice try, but as other posts have pointed out.."Survey Says"-extra space.
[G1 Android Development] ScottGood:
@ warburto

First,

If you read the posts more carefully you will see that he dropped into the console, and you would see that he typed

mount/data

Not

mount /data

secondly,

even if it is done in terminal it can be done there is just a bit more to it.

lastly, if you read all of the posts you would see that Cyanogen and myself both corrected his mistake.

Sorry if I sound like a jerk, I don't mean to
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
Nope, not a problem. In fact, get rid of Swapper, your linux-swap partition will work much, much better than any swap file.
[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
Me Too!

I was doing the same thing then Temporizer pointed out that simply pushing (via adb) the audio folder from audio-resources.zip was way faster, and he was right (thanks again temporizer!).

Anyway, I have been bugging Cyanogen for some time on this thread to start including the full audio folder in his releases, but so far all we still get is one each of the ringtones!
[G1 Android Development] Sirchuk:
Sorry if this has been answered already, there were 200 posts since 3.6.8.1 was released and I had to stop going through them.

I tried the incremental update from 3.6.8 to 3.6.8.1 and I get an error when copying files:

Finding update package...

Verifying update package...

Installing update...

Copying files...

E:Can't symlink /system/bin/sh

E:Failure at line 17:

symlink toolbox SYSTEM:bin/sh

Installation aborted.

Does it wipe if I do a complete download of the ROM? I don't mind downloading the entire thing again, but I just got everything set up with apps and settings and I would hate to have to wipe it.

Also, will changing the theme slow down everything? I changed the theme to the HTC Dark Hero theme and I get slow downs, but I didn't stay with stock theme long enough to determine if it was the cause.

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] mikfento:
ScottGood - Fair enough. Point taken and thank you so much for your help. I must have typed that a hundred times at least four different ways. Again, live and learn!:o

My phone has never been SLOWER. Should I stop using Compcache? Even when typing with the keyboard, the letters don't show up for a second or 2 after. This is starting to get very annoying. Any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] Argusi:
I seem to remember something about this in the old thread, but of course I can't find it. This happens to me from time to time and if I reboot, the icons come back. I believe only once I had to reboot twice, but they did come back. I also think Cyanogen commented on it originally... But I can't find the post! :p
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
re: compcache

I didn't have a userinit.sh file in my /system/sd/ directory. I also never made a swap partition on my sdcard.

So I made a new userinit.sh file with:

#!/system/bin/sh

insmod /system/modules/lib/modules/2.6.29-cm/compcache/xvmalloc.ko;
if [ -e /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 ];
then
# insmod /system/modules/lib/modules/2.6.29-cm/compcache/ramzswap.ko backing_swap=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3;
insmod /system/modules/lib/modules/2.6.29-cm/compcache/ramzswap.ko;
else
insmod /system/modules/lib/modules/2.6.29-cm/compcache/ramzswap.ko;

fi;
mknod /dev/ramzswap0 b 253 0;
echo 60 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness;
swapon /dev/ramzswap0;

exit;

Works like a charm.

'free' now reports:

I pretty much have decided that a compcache ramswap does not need any backup. I would suggest using the 32 for storage, or just have it sit there waiting to see if I can be proven wrong. Gonna start a simple tutorial now.

Great! That makes things even easier

I also would prefer compcache being enabled by default instead of /swap. maybe this could be done in future releases?
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Nope, it defaulted to 666 and I didnt change it. Interesting....
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I might try and work it into the settings app. It *does* add a tiny bit of latency but not having things like the Launcher getting killed off is a huge win. I'd rather make it optional but easy to toggle.

Select an app to remove or clear data and get a F/C, I only got it 2 or 3 time and can't reproduce, I dunno if its a bug or a Quirk due to leftover garbage from A2SD with JF 1.5 if it's unable to be reproduced ill call it a fluke and forget this happened.
