check page one of this thread under faq

man i hope they don't ding you for that phone replacemnet
[G1 Android Development] wiked1r:
phone replacement was hardware issue .. backlight wasn't working in portrait mode but would work in landscape mode .. I reflashed roms, themes, nothing made it work ...

but back up and rooted now so not a problem

my bad got off topic
[G1 Android Development] ubernicholi:
Really, I think mods should start banning people who ask about auto rotae issues...

Read the first post. Very carefully. Then read the other post on the first page that has another option to fix it.
[G1 Android Development] here.david:
Are you running both :

32mb lynix-swap

and

compcache set 32mb

or are you using the compcache on the 32mb lynix-swap

meaning-I set up a linux-swap 24mb partition on SDcard and then ran useriniti.sh to activate compcache on the 24mb linux-swap partition not both, which is how I read your 'sig'...if so, what are you gaining, is it worth it...?????
[G1 Android Development] prettyboy85712:
It's pretty late. I don't think we are going to get our new build tonight. :(
[G1 Android Development] painrage:
just changed my sig on u ;)

but no the userinit script i was using was made up to use the linux swap as a back up the thing i've noticed about compcache is that u can't have animations on it seems to screw with the phone and it definately uses more cpu power
[G1 Android Development] merps:
sorry mate - ok the steps carried out would be:

- adb remount

- adb pull /system/bin/lucid lucid

- (edit the file, @ the top to include the line #!/system/bin/sh - this tells the current shell what script to run this shell under)

- adb push lucid /system/bin/lucid

hopefully this helps you a little - it's a mute point as someone could have already suggested it - best to cover all the bases... ;-)
[G1 Android Development] isikh:
Actually, that is happening to me as well, I have it enabled in my settings and whatnot, however, ever since this update, it's not working.
[G1 Android Development] wiked1r:
thanks for the help overlooked that faq when I first flashed the rom ...

funny how banning is an option so quick but helping someone seems to bother
[G1 Android Development] painrage:
WORD preach on
[G1 Android Development] wiked1r:

[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
What part of tongue in cheek did you not understand??

PS. We are all just waiting for latest drop of 3.6.x, and a little punch drunk from hitting refresh to see if it hit yet.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Here's the 3.6.8.1 bugfix release.

Fixing the HTC Camera was a bit tedious, but it's working. Shell reverted to the basic sh. Fixed video player issues (YouTube, etc). Gears works correctly again.

Template updated, but only a couple of apps were touched from 3.6.8, no framework changes.

First post for download info, second post for changelogs.....!
[G1 Android Development] oldsk00lz:
ok, here are more items for v3.6.8 after 22h uptime. No swap or compcache.

- headphone speaker not very loud, my voice was barely heard from others on phone requiring me to remove headset. Maybe meltus mod would fix? I need to test some other calls.

- browser was slow. Went to terminal, ran uptime, was up 22hr. ran email to, and my phone rebooted.

- upon reboot wireless was disconnected, requiring me to recycle wifi to get working.

- Su works for me, though from terminal I need to run twice sometimes.

-oldsk00lz
[G1 Android Development] shotad:
@cyanogen can you make the Japanese locale complete? I notice only SOME changes to Japanese and rest are in English....thus some apps break.
[G1 Android Development] bootleg16:
cyan why cant i change the clock speed with the overclock widget on 3.6.8??

its always at 527..

which i dont want.
[G1 Android Development] G1-evolve:
Hope I can actually download from the market this time =[ with out having to sign into "gtalk"
[G1 Android Development] mavgink:
i noticed that with the latest rom 3.6.8 when i get an incoming call i need to unlock my phone to see who's calling. Also need to unlock my phone to be able to snooze my alarm clock. Previous versions didn't have this issue. Wil the *.1 patch fix this aswell or should I revert to the old one?
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I've never seen this issue.
[G1 Android Development] nxt:
Using 3.6.8.1

--

Google Gears now works! Thank You.

YouTube no works too, thanks.

I'm still finding that Google Maps with Traffic goes "low memory, turning off traffic" still.

I'm using 4 gig sd class 6, 525 megs ext3, using compcache, says 71% goodcompress.

Any ideas on how to make Google Maps with Traffic work better? It's a must use app for me. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] dragon4000:
Everything seems to be working for me but bt... I've tried over 6 bt and none of them seem to work... Any ideas?? Thx.
[G1 Android Development] njuncos:
camcorder works...auto rotate stuck...rebooting into terminal to try fix on OP...will report back

reporting back...auto rotate fixed! youtube works as well. will continue testing

so far this thing is screaming fast!
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
The issue with traffic on maps is a Google problem that I can't fix.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Because people suck at shell scripting. Install 3.6.8.1 which fixes it.
[G1 Android Development] shotad:
i can do WiFi, but I get no signal...i have wiped reflashed and nothing...any idea?
[G1 Android Development] ihackyourtech:
just updated...running good. I'm sure the theme developers are hating keeping up with these updates though. I wanna install a theme but every 5 seconds a new update pops up.
[G1 Android Development] chevycowboyusa:
That was my problem too

Downloading and flashing soon.

Thanks for your continued hard work Cyan!
[G1 Android Development] oldsk00lz:
3.6.8.1 is running well. Thanks Cyanogen.

Confirmed: camcorder and youtube are working.

Will provide more feedback after testing for awhile.

-oldsk00lz
[G1 Android Development] henrylim:
Cyanogen, just being curious. What have you improved in your ROM based on Android 1.5r3?
[G1 Android Development] hiroots:
keep up the good work.
[G1 Android Development] G1-evolve:
shud 3.6.8 themes work on 3.6.8.1?
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Yeah but you will want to push Camera.apk and Browser.apk back after flashing the theme.
[G1 Android Development] grazy:
This time with 3.6.8.1, i don't have to reinstall all the private-apps which previously need to for every update ^^, Kudos Cyan! Love ya.
[G1 Android Development] kayiman2005:
confirm

theme for 3.6.8 work fine with the new update. thank you cyan for all your hard work
[G1 Android Development] innerspace:
So nice to see you again sir...

Thanks for the update, flashing now, will return and edit thread with results.

looks good cyanogen. cam/corder fixed and (YaY!) Gears as well. Appreciate your efforts.
[G1 Android Development] mycnam:
cool, i was going to report the camcorder is not working, and it is fixed!
[G1 Android Development] devsk:
Why are CONFIG_NO_HZ and CONFIG_INOTIFY not defined in the kernel build? Also, dirty_writeback_centisecs (I know, I can set it in sysctl.conf) should be changed to higher number than 5. These can result in much lower battery usage.

cyano: can you please run 'powertop -d -t 20' and implement some of the suggestions (like mentioned above) in the next kernel build? I will really appreciate that. Thanks for your great work!
[G1 Android Development] devsk:
My bad! powertop seems to be wrong. I ran 'zgrep HZ /proc/config' and it shows that NO_HZ is set. Also the INOTIFY stuff. So, we are already good...:D

Why did powertop say that NO_HZ and INOTIFY were not configured in the kernel? Also, it said that CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND was not set, while it is. Strange!
[G1 Android Development] devsk:
Is anybody else noticing huge time to charge the battery and huge time to discharge it from 100%? My battery takes a long (one to a couple of hours) time to go from 80 to 100 and back. It looks like a reporting bug.
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
Thanks a bunch. Flashing now!!!
[G1 Android Development] njuncos:
best battery reporting is following a full charge to 100%, then power off phone and let charge if red LED is still on til LED turns green, then reboot...

your battery meter will now be much more accurate...in other words, only reboot your phone when the power is at 100%
[G1 Android Development] mrmonto:
On 3.6.5 now and working great. Can I skip the other builds and go straight to 3.6.8.1?
[G1 Android Development] njuncos:
yeah, you should be fine...

just make sure you backup and nandroid etc, just in case

oh, and edit your sig, lol
[G1 Android Development] lmfwtw:
Do we do it everytime or just once?
[G1 Android Development] imakamasta:
dam, by the time i update and fix everything up theres already an update.

i love this rom =]
[G1 Android Development] devsk:
ohh no! I was really enjoying the new shell with trackball etc. Man, I would hate to go back! Any workarounds to keep the newer ash instead of default android shell?
[G1 Android Development] dragon4000:
How's bt working for everyone?? Mine doesn't seem to work for some reason....
[G1 Android Development] innerspace:
Bluetooth fine here. Was prompted to enter pairing code for my headphones which was odd but everything seems just ducky.
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
if you made your initial command in terminal emulator ash, then you will have ash every time you start terminal emulator...
[G1 Android Development] here.david:
So far if I run traffic (66) and then google traffic it works, whereas if I just run google traffic I too get the error...might be help to you...OH, WOW! Thanks for the update...
[G1 Android Development] dragon4000:
Hmmm.... That's odd... I've tried more than 5 bt and in all of them, I cant hear and they cant hear me...
[G1 Android Development] here.david:
Cool, however, when I 1st did it in Better terminal - it 'broke' it - yet I then went to 'regular' terminal emulator and it works...rebooting did not help...will uninstall and reinstall...WORKED also must 'SU' 1st then 'ash' in Better terminal or it 'breaks'...:cool:
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
i have a plantronics 855 and its working fine with 3.6.7.1.
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
You mean the dock? That was a nice feature of dxtop.
[G1 Android Development] iflyabeech:
Been using k9 for months....it works great and devs are super helpful!

thanks for the great rom cyan!!
[G1 Android Development] tekkitan:
Flashed to 3.6.7.1. So far looking good. I notice that the menus adding shortcuts to the home screen is WAY faster as well. Used to take a few seconds to load the apps list, now it's almost instant.
[G1 Android Development] nabzilla1990:
will stericsons hero music player update work on this
[G1 Android Development] pyrowithydro:
got it.. had to goto folder options and unclick hide file extensions...
[G1 Android Development] AustinKnight45:
Ya the dock that will work that would be sick hu...
[G1 Android Development] LatinSilEighty:
OK seriously I'm loving my 3.6.5 and was wondering if there are any huge performance upgrades. I didn't know if it was worth it to upgrade or maybe just wait for something crazy to happen in later updates because the way it looks Cyanogen being the crazy beast of a Dev that he is, is gonna have me flashing a new update every day so i was mainly j/w if i should or shouldn't.

i know the exchange was a huge thing on this update but seeing as i don't use it, it wouldn't really get much use from me

P.S. Any news on if the 3.6.5 themes work on new update?
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
compcache alone is worth the upgrade.

You can manually load the modules onto 3.6.5 if you want to keep 3.6.5.

I put instructions in the compcache thread.
[G1 Android Development] nabzilla1990:
will the hero music app work on this sorry im asking again
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
Do you think a new thread is in order to help with the userinit questions that are popping up? I can start one if needed with info on getting userinit (compcache version) installed on the device using adb, making it executable, moving media to the extX partition etc.
[G1 Android Development] innerspace:
not that I'm aware of

Check the thread devoted to it here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=530572

3.6.5 worked with the version from the HERO Theme but the version posted in that thread wouldn't install on 3.6.5 or 3.6.6. Doubt it works w/ 3.6.7.1 either but read there for more info.

Personally, I've made the switch from that app to RockOn! as my primary music app. Like it better than the stock app even though development has been slow.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Probably not, and neither will the Hero theme. The reason is that 3.6.7.1 has a new libandroid_runtime.so which has a new native method which if not found in the framework.jar will cause the VM to abort. To get these working you would need to grab /system/lib/libandroid_runtime.so from 3.6.5 and copy it over. You'll lose cgroups support which is only a minor performance improvement.

I PM'ed tehseano about helping port it and keeping it up to date with my releases, waiting to hear back.
[G1 Android Development] P_Dub_S:
I would appreciate this i would like to try out this compcache setup
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
I think compcache should be enabled by default. I've been running it all day and haven't had any issues.

That will cut down on all the questions.
[G1 Android Development] aod1gp:
Dont know if it's just me. but my wifi connection on my phone keeps dropping anyone else having this issue?
[G1 Android Development] innerspace:
I say make a thread.

Worked for me... thanks to the quick tutorial --> was pain free.

Flashed 3.6.7.1 w/ compcache and backup swap enabled.

Phone is FAST!

Really fast

.

Running Benchmarks to see how fast exactly. Will post results in the benchmark thread for fun.

Can't find anything that isn't working, great job! Thanks again, beer shall be delivered unto you from on high, you have my word.
[G1 Android Development] martinx817x:
copy and paste it on notepad. it works if your trying to add it into your sh file. (i also have vista)
[G1 Android Development] Sandhawk:
Instructions on moving from 32mb swap partition to compcache would be great. ie expand the linux swap partition to 64mb to support a backup swap if optimal?
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
I will post a new thread in a few. I just have to take my time and make sure I get it right for all the Windoz users out there, :)
[G1 Android Development] sputnik99:
wow! my 3.6.5 went slower and slower and I feared the hassle with the versions from 3.6.6 to 3.6.7.x . Updated to 3.6.8.1 and my phone is freaking fast again (so far). This update deserves the name stable again. Thank you.
[G1 Android Development] boomer30:
still having the FC on the VIdeo Cam, anyone else ?
[G1 Android Development] sputnik99:
not me. 10chars
[G1 Android Development] dragon4000:
Nope, mine's working fine. Just a slight delay, that's all..
[G1 Android Development] NguyenHuu:
edited: got it.

edit2: nvm didnt work. my phone would rotate between landscape and potrait and back again on it's own. auto rotate works but sometimes it just switches back and forth, pretty weird.
[G1 Android Development] boomer30:
got it fixed, I guess somehow installing a theme screwed it up so I just extracted the camera.apk from the apps folder and manually installed it.

runs like a champ.

FYI using Kspec theme

Anyone having the same problem I have? I can connect wifi, but no signal. Any idea of why this is happening?:confused:
[G1 Android Development] Keyser.Soze:
I just flashed to v3.6.8.1 from Haykuro's 1.5r2 without wipe. The whole thing feels more responsive now and I am impressed. Everything seems to be working just fine except that the tethering program aNetShare does not work any more. I know Wireless Tether for Root Users work with this ROM but I am having some trouble with my iPhone connecting through it. The iPhone would connect and then just disconnects after less than one minute. No such problem with aNetShare on the old firmware and I could be connected for as long as the battery lasts. Any idea how to get aNetShare to work with CyanogenMod? Or am I doing something wrong with Wireless Tether for Root Users?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

KS

Update: My issues with Wireless Tether for Root Users seems to have gone away after I disabled Wi-Fi encryption and leave only access control on. Don't know why but that's the way it is...

If by incremental you mean Alt-S it worked fine for me coming from 3.6.8
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
I had no problems with the incremental update from 3.6.7.2 to 3.6.8.1.
[G1 Android Development] Hiretto:
Simple.

If I have only a partition with vfat I don't have problems with copilot because it uses the internal memory but when I use a partition with ext2/3 and app2sd I have problem with it because copilot after the second time I start it crashed without reasons.
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
Damn skippy man.. It took two minutes to boot after flashing from 3.6.8, and that is from when ddms picked it up at the first boot screen till it was freeing objects at the idle desktop. Sweet.

I have also learned to start looking at timestamp and crc values in the updates so I know what files have been modified from the previous version and can update my theme'd files accordingly. This way I can keep up and have my theme 100% all the time!

Lovin it!
[G1 Android Development] ScottGood:

Is there a way to get the screenshot app to work on this rom? Or is it just not compatible? i keep getting an error message that says "error: screenshot.raw file not found" - but it worked on other roms. just wondering if this was a compatibility issue or if there's some other way to take screenshots on this build (from the device, not through the comp).

Thinking about flashing back to 3.6.5. Ever since I moved from it, my battery will not last for even 12 hours before 15% comes along. Used to be over 24 hours. All wireless/bt/gps is disabled and I rarely use it when at work (12 hour shift). Also noticed since moving from 3.6.5 a lot of lag with just normal use. Menu/home lag, app lag, and worst of all... lag in Robo Defense! *shakes fist at the sky*

I just upgraded to 3.6.8 and then to 3.6.8.1. I noticed that auto-rotate doesn't seem to work anymore. Autorate worked fine for me on the other builds without me having to do the fix.
[G1 Android Development] mycnam:
after a fresh update to 3.6.8.1 my accelerometer does not work... so does the auto orientation and GPS status 2 etc... anyone experienced the same?
[G1 Android Development] qPs1:
Same problem here with 3.6.8 and 3.6.8.1. I'm going to try the instructions on page 1 to see if it fixes the issue

The instructions on page 1 fixed it. Auto-rotate is working again

Does no one read the first post anymore?
[G1 Android Development] giantcrazy:
Just upgraded from 3.6.7.1 to 3.6.8.1 - another smooth transition!

Have to say, cyanogen - I'm incredibly impressed. Working with software (mostly embedded systems) I know how sketchy upgrading the software can be, but I've done it at least 7 times and each time has been flawless. Awesome job, a token donation is heading your way.

A quick question on compcache - is there any performance benefit/hit associated with it? I know the intent is to save wear on the SD card, but I don't mind tossing the SD card sooner if there's going to be a stability or performance hit associated with compcache.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I think I'm just going to nuke the file in the firstboot.sh script. Tired of hearing this bug that isn't a problem specific to this ROM.

I'm still working on the bootloop in my phone with Cyanogen buildsand the information i've been gathering has pointed me towards a broken /system/framework/framework-res.apk and system/lib/libmedia_jni.so'. If someone could post these two file it would be most appreciated as I'd like to replace the ones I have with ones from ideally someone who has a functioning version of the latest build.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Check the md5sum on the file you downloaded. That's why I provide them.
[G1 Android Development] xidominicanoix:
Try disabling the "Vibrate when typing" to see if that fixes it.

I was getting a force close as well and did a logcat and saw it had to do with the vibrate permissions i think .. didnt feel like searching for a fix so i just turned it off ;)
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
That might not be a bad idea. I haven't had any problems with this. I don't know why others are.
