It's just a file with the remount command in it so that I don't have to type the whole thing every time I want to change something.

mount -o remount,rw /system

In theory, if you have keyboard drawer opened, you should get suggestions ONLY if you have tapped the screen area you are going to type in! No touch screen, no suggestions.
[G1 Android Development] Twister360:
Thanks for that, and the tip on the that fix. I got adb installation fixed again.
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
Whoa! That explains a lot because I was having similar issues as Stigy, but I was touching the screen to move the cursor where I wanted it. Thanks, jk.

Stigy - if you have the keyboard open, the suggestions will stop if you double-click the Menu button (got this tip from Temporizer).

apps2sd?

I saw cyanogen said that apps2sd is automatic, now when I install the Rom how do I get my apps that r already on my ext3 partition onto the Rom? Becuase I use Marcus's apostles app. So when I have to wipe and reflash for whatever reason I have to download astro to install the apostles apk off my sd card then run the script in terminal to see my apps come out on the next reboot. I have been reading a lot about this Rom and I'm really considering jumping to it from JF. Seeing as I will run the hero Rom when I buy the hero fone.
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
I think it's because SD isn't mounted during your use of recovery, but I've admittedly never gone that deep into researching it. In fact, I've never TRIED researching it. However, here's my understanding, if it's worth anything.

Your phone (and Linux, and BSD, and Mac OSX, and Windows, and...) has to mount its filesystems before they can be used. When you're running the recovery program, the phone only mounts what's absolutely needed for the phone to run in this basic OS. This means the SD card is not mounted.

I don't know Nandroid that well, but I don't think it takes into account any customizations of the phone. I believe it's written only to worry about the filesystem that's present in e.g. OTA builds, so it's not going to "care" about other directories that may exist, such as /system/sd/apps, where Apps2SD are placed.

I could be wrong -- someone correct me if I am, please. But I think this is how it is.

HIH.
[G1 Android Development] underamoon:
I noticed this myself.

I am not knocking Cyan's rom, I love it.

This is a very strange functionality. If I have checked off suggestions, I would expect them if I use touchscreen or not. They are useful as a spellchecker and speed up even the physical keyboard.

It also adds to the inconsistency of the UI and is unattractive. There is a lot of great functionality in the G1, but sometimes there are too many decision points in the UI. Its also hard too sell friends on the device, when I have to stop every few minutes to explain how to use a feature. I don't find it difficult myself, but other phones i've tried are more intuitive. This is an area Google needs to improve on.

Maybe some of the developers on the forum will take a shot at fixing more of the inconsistencies in UI.
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
Bah, ignore me.

This is s serious question....if you cannot rename a file, then how in the hell did you get adb up and running to be able to push the file to the phone? I am not breaking your balls....i am serious.
[G1 Android Development] pyrowithydro:
Lol... im being sent a new 1 in 3 days.. i dont give a **** about it.. i claimed it lost under insurance and am just trying to learn how to do all this... so i will have a second g1 to keep as a stable.. and 1 for modding. but im actually understanding it all pretty well so far... except little things like this.. i mean i didnt know how to make the audiohack folder a .apk file either... so i had to learn adb.

[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
Got to give you credit for that then.....Hey PM me if you get stuck and need help in the future. :cool:
[G1 Android Development] usmc2k:
find a old userinit.sh file, or use the one u pull off the system thats in the backup folder u created that is a sh type..... goto properties and open it with notepad...... then all u have to do is erase the old text and paste in the new text off the userinit.txt file
[G1 Android Development] angelicmoon:
Love this room. The WiFi is working great but I am still having lots of problems with the default APP2SD since 3.6.5

I keep flashing and wiping with no use and I am sure the partitioning is correct. ran the fix many times with no use. Will flash with a fresh wipe one more time and see what happens
[G1 Android Development] JazzMac251:
Cyanogen. I'm amazed. You're a dev MONSTER.

All of your builds consistently work flawlessly for me and always have. You're not only the fastest dev around, but you also produce the fastest builds around. :eek:

Endless props, bro.
[G1 Android Development] revwillie:
My plantronics 855 HSP+A2DP set was working OK with CM 3.6.5 , just some skipping when playing music. Just tried connecting with 3.6.7.1 and the phone seemed to lock up. It was on a blank screen and was unresponsive to any input. I pulled the battery and restarted it. After the initial startup of wifi and weatherbug, I connected the BT set again and it seemed to work OK. maybe less skipping? not sure.

My Parrot evo 3k car kit was working just today with 3.6.5 but it can take 5-10 minutes to connect if I don't force it.

I will be able to test the car kit again tomorrow with 3.6.7.1
[G1 Android Development] innerspace:
thanks for the quick tutorial

done and done.:cool:

Anyone else having a problem with quickoffice force closing? I had the problem with 3.6.5 and I went to 3.6.7.1 without a wipe and it still force closes when opening. I did a search, but found nada...

IMAP/POP features

You sold me on K-9. Now I'm liking this ROM.
[G1 Android Development] AustinKnight45:
@ Cyan hope I don't get slapped for asking this but you think you could add a app tray like DxTop the one under the icons that you swipe to the side I dont know what its called I just think it would be sick in one of your builds. I know I know just use dxtop but Im just sayn .:o
[G1 Android Development] revwillie:
Yeah, I read about that on the hero thread. But the new app drawer gives me one less reason to like the hero theme. I'll see if there's an updated "android plus" theme tomorrow to try out. ...and I still have dxTop.
[G1 Android Development] Stigy:
Wow, that makes perfect sense and works perfectly.

Thanks SO much for that. I wish there a was a way to say that if you have the keyboard open that even if you touch the input box, not to use the suggestions. The phone has to have a way of knowing the keyboard is open since its how you had to auto-rotate the browser.
[G1 Android Development] endzeit:
Hi all,

I just flashed version 3.6.8 over my old 3.6.5 one. On the old one was the Hero Theme installed (newest version, I think it's 3.4.5 or something like that).

Well, it all seems to work nice but if I want to turn off my phone (why would I want to do that? :D) the whole system crashes just before the shutdown dialog appears and reboots itself.

So heres the exception part of the log:

Any ideas? If not, see this as a bug report ^^

Cheers
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
Let's just say, some Themes are having a really tough time existing with Cyan's last couple ROM versions, but Temporizer and ohmarni have ported the Android Plus Theme for 3.6.8.

I've read that the Theme developers are working to make their themes coexist with Cyan's ROMs.
[G1 Android Development] endzeit:
Yah, but I thought that flashing the full new version should overwrite all the changes that the theme made?

I havn't tried to re-flash the theme after flashing the new ROM version so the changes should have been killed by flashing 3.6.8 or did I misunderstand that?
[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
Can do "sorta"

I just tried this and it works, if you touch the area you want to type in with the keyboard closed, just to position the cursor where you want it, Then slide open the keyboard and don't touch screen, you won't get prediction!! :)
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
You're right, the previous changes (made by the theme) would've been overwritten when you flashed 3.6.8. Sorry, maybe I misunderstood what you were saying.
[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
Good to know

Wow again, thanks mdavidf! That tip from temporizer (shout out to temp by the way!) does make life easier! You can still have prediction and turn it off just like Stigy wanted!

[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
Well i found that out the hard way when i tried to restore onto a new memory card i had purchased online last week. Nandroid doesnt seem to coppy apps2sd i had everything else resotered but even after several suggestion i still ended up just installing all the apps over again myself. I think i searched everywhere for a nandriod user forum or guid and yeah didnt come up with much but forum postings so if someone knows how i would sure like to no for furture use...
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
I wish really cyanogen and some of the theme developers would just merge the rom and theme in and update seeing how there sooo popular with his build anyways....i think it may cut down on all the problems people have when they update. and the million and one posting over issues really not related to his latest update.
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
lowering the overclock speed on CM

I know i posted this somewhere before but im curious as to why lowering the overclock speed to a max of 384 improves the perfomance in this rom so much. i thought the faster 584 would make a zipper phone with this build.
[G1 Android Development] damien667:
/system/bin/sh not found

Since there is no simlink between /system/xbin/bb/ash and /system/bin/sh, my phone got stuck in infinite loop without a way to be able to "adb logcat" (it kept giving me a "/system/bin/sh not found" error). I took my battery out, went into recovery mode, made the symbolic link between, rebooted and my problem was fixed... just in case anyone else has this problem, that's my solution... I upgraded from 3.6.7.2 - 2.6.8 with the incremental update from http://android.v-dh.nl/?m=Updates, that's when it started happening. Cyanogen, is this the correct solution? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
How do you figure this does? I mean, how are you measuring the speed or perceived zippiness of the phone at different speeds?

Maybe compcache works differently if it's running faster?

Keep in mind, if you're using an overclock app or widget, it might not be updating immediately. The widget, for instance, has several settings for how often to update. Maybe it's running at 528 but just says 384 because it hasn't updated yet, and by the time it does, more apps are running...

Just a thought...

*shrugs*
[G1 Android Development] rwphwp:
Paid applications not showing

I just updated to the latest build 3.6.7.2 and now no paid apps show up in the market. When I change the view in Market to *priced items* only, there are no results that match the query. Any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
You can check your processor speed by using Powertop - provided in Cyan's ROMs.

There is a Market app that overrides Cyan's 528 default setting - this can also be verified using Powertop.

However, using 384, I haven't noticed the phone running smoother or better in any way except the battery life.
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
3.6.7.2 is not the latest update - update to 3.6.8 then try it.

This wasn't a problem with 3.6.7.2, but flashing to 3.6.8 may fix your Market issue anyway.

It's pretty much impossible to search these threads (yes I did search and yes I did read through 25 or 50 so threads). I'm not sure if I should start a new thread or not but I can't get my accelerometer to run.

I rooted my phone RC29 and the accelerometer started working. Applied the recovery.img

hardspl

radio update from http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecode.com/files/ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip

and the accelerometer continued to work through those updates. However as soon as I applied Haykuro's signed-spl I had to install a new rom. After applying just about any rom I could find out there I still could not get the accelerometer to work.

The only two solutions I have been able to locate are listed below.

20. My auto-rotate/accelerometer isn't working!

Not really the fault of the ROM, but here's how to fix it: Go into recovery, drop to console, "mount /data", then "rm /data/misc/akmd* /data/misc/rild*" and reboot.

mount /data", then "rm /data/misc/akmd-set.txt reboot"

The second fix is obviously the same as the first just more specific. I did not have any /data/misc/akmd* files on my G1 but did try to remove the rild files with no success.

If someone could send me a PM with other suggestions that would be awesome.
[G1 Android Development] sha.goyjo:
I know we just got ash as the shell, but now somebody in the dev forum has a bash shell that doesn't suck. I think it would go great in this, the most hacker-tastic of the roms ::grin::.

I had the same problem. Nothing seemed to fix it. Finally a wipe fixed it. When in doubt just wipe is my motto :)
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
A by now well documented "undocumented feature" (a.k.a. bug) in the latest Cyanogen ROM.

A fix is also posted (some pages back) if you don't feel like sit this out - I'm confident Cyanogen will have that fixed in the upcoming(?) 3.6.8.1

If you have the old memory card, you can copy all the data from it to the new one without much work using a Linux boot CD. I posted the commands in the old thread. Easy to do, I switched cards 3 times without issues. All the apps and data transitioned over just fine.
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
I'm glad you got this working. Since I don't use the Touch Input, which is causing the auto-correct, I turned TI off completely.

I beg to differ. Me and ohmarni's Android Plus theme works perfectly.

I ported this theme last night.

I just hope it doesn't change again. Lol
[G1 Android Development] whatchamccallum:
When you say wipe, what exactly did you do? I already went back to RC29 and rerooted and applied the radio update, spl, and tried numerous different roms. After I apply the signed-spl the accelerometer won't budge.

Sorry, I missed you're post from last night...that's great you and ohmarni got the theme working last night - the last time I looked one of you had posted, in big red letters, not to use the theme with Cyan's ROMs.

EDIT: I edited my previous two posts referenced by Temporizer...sorry, Temporizer and ohmarni...Glad you got it working, it's my favorite theme.
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
I think that too is relate to Cyanogen switching to ash shell - Basically everything "root" is not working with 3.6.8 (but can be fixed by adding the "shebang" to some shell scripts as explained in a post some pages back). Or wait for Cyanogen to fix this in his new version I'm sure is not too far away.

[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
When you go into the recovery bootloader (you should be familiar with this by now, having rooted your phone: Hold HOME during bootup), you have several options. One of them is ALT-W. This is the wipe of which we speak.
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
Well i dont no why it does lol but it does thats what im asking. no its not a matter of it still reading 584 when i have it set to 384. this was a suggestion a member of this forum gave me. i even had another g1 owner try it and he confirmed the same. so my question was why did lowering the cpu speed to 384max increase the performance. and no i wasnt using the overclock widget i actualyl was not successfull in getting the wiget to work on 3.6.8 the app would adjust the speed for me.
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
Damn it lol if you can link me to that thread for future use id appreciate it. i was using Paragon and i didnt see a copy option for me there didnt think of the lunix boot CD never used that.
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
SOmeone posted a comment here saying with the new update apps requiring root access not all but some of them would need to be updated by the dev.Do to the 1.5r3 changes cyanogen did with 3.6.8. Ive noticed a couple apps i have not being responsive at all and some worked no problem. not sure if the post was correct someone else can chime in but made sense to me.

Bash shell for you :)

sha.goyjo, I missed a decent shell in the phone as well, so i've compiled bash from source (bash 4.0), and attached the source as well as binary here. To drop it into your phone, simply unzip the attachment and drop the "bash" binary into your phone's sd card (assuming you have apps2sd setup) either using scp or adb as follows:

adb push </path/to/bash_source/>bash /system/sd

Then create a symlink in /system/bin so that you can call it from anywhere:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
ln -s /system/sd/bash /system/bin/bash

Then when you fire up terminal, just type bash and you will be dropped into the bash shell :)

I'm working on making it a proper market app but have been too busy at work to make any progress.

On another note, I have no problems at all with shellscripts/permissions on ash & cm 3.6.8...everything works just great.

EDIT : I had to attach only the bash ARM binary in the zip since the forum refused to upload the source tree zip, I think due to size restrictions.
