This is almost certainly network activity (DATA5 is the msm_rmnet device), and I'd suspect it's an app doing this.

Auto-Rotate bug

I know it's been stated that this is no fault of the rom, but I'm curious if anyone knows the root of the issue? I haven't seen the issue until recently, and I'm seeing it randomly between my wife's phone & mine...

I know that in some cases, this is simply a hardware issue, but in most cases, the console commands do the trick.

Being that the issue is software related, (since software fixes work) could it be possible that there's something somewhere in the code that is causing the issue? I've noticed a lot more people talking about it recently, which would seem to point to a bug?

I'm not trying to say I know any more than the gurus here, or anything, just trying to open up some discussion on this... (I know this isn't the proper thread, and I know there's a thread related to this already, however, that thread is pretty much dead, and there are more technical think-tanks involved in CM than anything else I have seen here (with the exception of the 45 HERO roms out there...)

If I'm out of line, just tell me to shut up.

does this have universal search?
[G1 Android Development] flexnix:
Yeah, I was getting nervous when I flashed 3.9 right now. It took like 3-4 minutes on the ANDROID screen, but now I figured it was actually installing all those apps I got.

The thing is in the past when I would WIPE, all my apps would disappear.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
If you think it's taking too long for that first boot, you can hook up usb and run "adb logcat" to watch whats happening. It's just running dexopt on all your apps. As long as you don't see things like "SYSTEM WILL CRASH", it's all good :)
[G1 Android Development] flexnix:
This is what it reads.

-SD card

-SD Secondary

-Internal phone storage

[G1 Android Development] Stigy:
Okay so after flashing to 3.9 my available internal space is only 35MB.

It used to be 72MB -- anyone know how I can figure out what happened to the memory? I have Apps2SD working and my SD Card Secondary has 594MB Total and 456MB Available.

Thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
the apps will always be there i think unless you format the ext2,3, or 4 partition BEFORE you wipe then flash. when i formatted my ext3 partition, i then fixed file ext system, wiped, then flash. i went from cm 3.9 to jacheroski 2.7.4r2.

when i got it all booted up, the only apps in my downloads were my purchased apps. i think those are determined by your SIM card since they hold credit card info. i could be wrong.

i actually just did the same thing last night when i went to JACMytouchski2.0.

now debating whether to do it again today to come back down the road to cm3.9 hehe
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Got a good suggestion from someone on IRC regarding swap.. Set "/proc/sys/vm/page-cluster" to 0 - this entirely disables readahead minimizing i/o on a slow device like this. Worth testing.
[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
this happened to me a couple of times. i believe it has to do with flashing ALOT but not formatting the ext3 periodically. i format the ext3 now everytime and i always , no matter which ROM, come out with 65-85mb internal memory, depending on the ROM
[G1 Android Development] Stigy:
Formatting the ext3 is going to require me to re-install all my Apps unless I back that partition up correct?
[G1 Android Development] ubernicholi:
ill bite and test this out
[G1 Android Development] ubernicholi:
maybe not the appropriate time, but since this is an experimental build, what about tossing this into the mix? I personally have no use for it, but maybe some other users would enjoy it.
[G1 Android Development] VGPOP:
I format my ext3 partition everytime I do a wipe + flash.

Internal memory always at 80+ MB
[G1 Android Development] njuncos:
So would the proper way to set this be:

echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/page-cluster

?
[G1 Android Development] smeat:
Make sure to su first, but that will work.
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
AFAIK yes

-- padding --
[G1 Android Development] ubernicholi:
yeah. i put it after the swapon line in my userinit.sh and rebooted

verified with cat /proc/sys/vm/page-cluster
[G1 Android Development] njuncos:
OK, thank you guys for the responses. Now would this only affect swap or would it affect a compcache setup as well?
[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
ESPECIALLY when jumping from ROM to ROM. but, like wiping and flashing, formatting the ext partition is becoming very good practice. waaaaaaaaaaay less market and other problems overall
[G1 Android Development] ubernicholi:
from what i read here

it works on anything that is a considered a swapfile.
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
Ooh, I can just add this to my current userinit.sh?
[G1 Android Development] ubernicholi:
yes. i did and it works
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I wish. I'm trying to backport it but it's so spread out across the framework that it's very difficult.
[G1 Android Development] sir*mez:
sorry double post....
[G1 Android Development] devsk:
Why would an app do that multiple times in a second?

No, its not visual. Its background activity.
[G1 Android Development] sir*mez:
someone already tried to help me with software that can unerase files. Your right, i wasnt ready for losing my fat32 side, but i was ready for the EXT partition because i always back that up. i never lost a fat32 partition but i have lost EXT before. therefore, i already got some help. instead of you lecturing me that this is experimental (which i already knew) you should try and help out. if not, dont respond with your lame clutter!!!

thank you,

Mez
[G1 Android Development] pinetreehater:
And to the rebuttal by PsychoI3oy...of course you are right too. There is always multiple solutions to any problem...the problem is some are more palatable than others.

A lot of people are gonna just mess things up even more if we involve them with the dalvik cache, re-odexing, etc....add to that the myriad scripts everyone loves to use. I mean,some users barely understand what a script is, but they use it.

The thing to take away from this, is that restoring some data is ok (e.g., text and mms, bookmarks, alarms, etc.) where you run into problems is when you try to reinstall individual program settings (e.g. restore my applications function of MyBackup Pro...it's just not worth it in my opinion; go back and reconfigure the few apps that will need their settings reconfigured).

Basically:

Repartion or clear ext3 or manually delete indvidual files>>>
Likely fix for those stuck at bootloops

Uninstall then reinstall programs>>>>
likely fix for people getting force closes after new flash

Wipe then Reflash>>>>people who had a bad
flash because of apps2sd, and have since deleted
the offending program, script, whatever and want
their system redone to be certain it is "right".

Peace,

Will

Mounting SD Card FIXED in 3.9.10

Hey Cyan,

The update to 3.9.10 also fixed my issue where the phone would release the SD card for the computer to use and then immediately re-mount the SD card. FYI. It works great now :D

Thanks for all your hard work! 6-pack coming your way for all your amazing work!!

-andjohn
[G1 Android Development] Charrion:
Sounds like a great idea. For what it's worth, here's a copy of the original build.prop from my Rogers Dream before I introduced it to your fine rom.

Am i missing something? my camera button is not working(starting up, it works once i'm already in the camera app) I don't remember this being so before...but it's been awhile since i've used the camera...like in july sometime...btw i'm running 3.9.9.1...(i need to update the sig)will upload to 3.9.10 and see if issue still persists.
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
Hmm.

Well, I've been poking around ...

I've got the market app to where it won't download anything (and isn't throwing SSL timeout errors anymore). I deleted everything but the db that stores what I have, no dice. adb pushed the Vending.apk from 3.9.9.1, no dice. I even created a 3rd partition on my sd card and dd'd an older data.img to it but it wouldn't mount for some reason.

I haven't given up yet, but it's bedtime for me so we'll see if/what I can do tonight from work.
[G1 Android Development] big_d093:
Been on 3.9.10 since this morning..everything was coo till some lag..but I decided to run linux..running at 96mb..and the speed the crazy..I know some people have asked if it was coo to run linux or compcache..its working GREAT for me..anyone else doing the same and how's the speed working for you guys??

Btw good work cyan..
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:

[G1 Android Development] Ghost117:
Does this ROM have mutli-touch support like JF's or JAC Hero?
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
i think and hope he means linux-swap.
[G1 Android Development] big_d093:
Yea my bad..missing some words in there...×oops× (-_-)
[G1 Android Development] SpEnTBoY:
I'm not sure but I think you mean "Linux SWAP"? ... I'm running compcache personally and it's hard for me to say for sure whether it's the contributing factor to the speed ... cyanogen's ROM's are all pretty much blazing as it is ;) I haven't tried disabling it at all to see if there is a noticeable difference but 3.9.10 is fast for me!!
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
I think maybe all but one of us knew what you were talking about. ;)

Edit: Spoke too soon, should read 2 of us now.
[G1 Android Development] Blind Oracle:
The market has been rather sickly over the last three weeks. Lots of people are having problems. I don't know you have additional issues over and above those others are experiencing. Just the same, many running official roms are experiencing lots of market issues.

In other words, just because you're having problems with the market, doesn't mean its cm's fault. As a data point, I've already performed an application update on 3.9.10 today. No problems.

Here for the last several weeks, I've fairly consistently had to start a download, cancel the download, and start the download again. Repeat and rinse for the download to finally start and complete. Only a couple of times have I had to do it more than three or four. Usually it starts on the second or third cycle. And that includes using the market on JF's image.

swap or compcache

I've run compcache and linux-swap, personally I feel like swap is faster. They both worked great, but I'm sticking with swap for now. Nice work here Cyanogen, this is the only rom ill use

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] jrherras:
how do u disable the compcache in the 3.9.10? do i just create a linux swap partition and edit the a2sd to enable linux swap on boot?
[G1 Android Development] lotherius:
3.9.9.1 is pretty slick and quick - not sure if I'm ready to go 3.9.10 unless someone can confirm it will install without a wipe (way too much time already customizing the previous update!).

Also, I've had the market download hanging problem on the last couple of versions I've used, on this version as well. Sometimes the download just won't start, other times, it finishes the download, but then doesn't install. Have to cancel/retry until it works. Not sure why.

Finally... how do I verify that swap is enabled? I have searched, can't find anything specific to swap on CyanogenMod... does it enable automatically when it finds the linux-swap partition?
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I might have Global Search working for the next build, stay tuned :)
[G1 Android Development] pistol4413:
Lol i just say that u were having a hard time back porting it and now u say it might be included. Google needs you on payroll now!
[G1 Android Development] jrherras:
type free in terminal and you will see the swap size. I noticed that linux swap is faster than compcache
[G1 Android Development] Blind Oracle:
I upgraded from JF1.5.x -> cm 3.9.7 -> cm 3.9.9.1 -> cm 3.9.10 and have not wiped once. The only thing I've had to do is purge my browser's cookies and cache; not counting me playing with user.conf changes.

All i can say is...don't believe everything you read on the net. The same thing was said about CUPCAKE before they released that. I think at this point regardless most of us XDA users will never use and official tmobile android rom anyways...there always late to deliver and we would have doughnut well before its offically released anyways.

Apps that run as services will start themselves. If you have an alarm set, it will need to be running for it to go off.

Sweeeeet..... Thanks!

---------------------------------

I always send my sister to a new location via freeways even if she has to go and extra 20 miles. She appreciates it. Speaking from a learners' perspective, at times installing all my apps was easier than trying to figure out the fixes, since most of the are written in Droid rather than English. Sometimes simplicity might take a bit longer, but it is easier. I definitely agree, though, fixes are something to which we as a group can aspire, it is the better route, if not always the most efficient, and can provide patches to incorporate with ROMs or other software so that the glitches don't happen again at all.

------------------------------

Make sure it's not the phone. Take the card out and use a different device to check it. If you have a PC, PhotoRec might work for you.

---------------------

I also found Root Explorer (yes, I'm a lazy GUI user) to be very useful. It's not free, but I'm glad I got it. It's really nice for listing directory contents, if I plan to check multiple directories and simple copy/paste stuff, or, well, if I'm driving or playing Chutes and Ladders, which I never win.

-----------------------

Try this: Remove the widget. Reboot. Replace the widget. Wait. In my experience, it's a fickle, slow, resource-hungry widget. If I'm having trouble, it's the first thing that goes. My weather widget is better (Francois Deslandes). I wish there were a 2x2 replacement for it.

-----------------------

Regarding EXt2,3,4. I cleared it once by deleting everything that was on it (or so I thought), but didn't solve the problem until I deleted the partition and recreated it.

------------------

I also now make it a practice to reflash the radio after flashing the ROM. Flashing is now a 3-step process:

1. nadroid backup

2. Flash

3. Flash radio

It solved both bluetooth and connectivity issues for me on different versions of this ROM series, so rather than discovering a problem, I just apply that fix right off the bat. Not that it couldn't create a new problem depending on the ROM (it could happen), but I can always reflash the ROM, again, too.

I haven't had any connectivity trouble yet. Going to check PineTreeHater's issue, though. I like the vacuum leak analogy. Right on.

------------------------------

Last, but not least, I'm seeing a difficulty in the unified ROM concept. I am, to be maybe too frank and overzealous, extra annoyed at the HTC_IME (HTC's on-screen keyboard "Touch Input", not the Android one) popping up when I've got the hard keyboard open. I also was just getting used to the correction feature, which at first was also very annoying, but I figured I just needed to learn it a little better, which was true, and now I miss it. Anyone else? It would be a really nice perk to see in the changelog anything that's done with this.

Hey, it could be longer.

can someone teach me how to disable compcache in 3.9.10? because I want to go back to linux swap it's a little laggy using compcache
[G1 Android Development] xdaofficeuser111:
I am using 3.9.10 and have created a blank userinit.sh in /system/sd hoping to disable compcache.

When I enable Swapper (using the software in market) I found that no matter how I set my swap size was always at 56MB. Where can I change this figure? Actually I just have 32MB swap partition only.

hit j until u get to the compcache_en line. hit l until u get to the 1. hit r 0

hit j until u get to the linux_swap_en line. hit h to go back until u get to the 0. hit r 1

hit j until you get to the swappiness line. if u want to make this 10 (for example), hit h until u get to the 3. then r 1.

then do -> :wq!

Just noticing lag in ring time

I just called myself from the house phone to check, but my phone doesn't make noise at all for the first FOUR rings. The LED lights up at 1 ring, the screen takes another ring to show caller ID, and then another two rings go by before auditory notification. I think this may have been similar on 3.9.7, but I'm not sure, and I'm 'm relativey sure it was like this on 3.9.9.1, but I wasn't on it long enough to be 100% sure.

I need to check where I have all my ringtones and stuff, since I have media2SD enabled and things might be messy there even without that.

If I were to make a request for a ROM, or this phone in general now, it would be to make that whole process of getting calls a little faster & cleaner. I was getting phone.acore force close/waits for a bit there, and I'm getting lag on the dialer drawer pull, and the ring lag now. I know it's a gadget, but the phone peice of it is still fundamental, and could have safety ramifications.

Of course, if I'm the only one, then nevermind.

ic .... mind if you can type "free" in the console and see if you are suffering the same problem as mine? Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] jrherras:
it's still 24mb. I experienced that before. If you're using 3.9.10 try push/put blank userinit.sh in /system/sd then reboot and try typing free again in terminal it should show only the 36mb from swapper app. I hope it helps
[G1 Android Development] xdaofficeuser111:
Yes just discovered that! Thanks!!!

I push userinit.sh to /system/sd/ and reboot, do a "free" and find that there is already 24MB swap available!!!

So when I use Swapper (I pick a 32 MB option) it just "adds" another 32MB so altogether becomes 56MB!

I now remove the Swapper application .... enjoying the 24MB coming after boot time .... thanks!!!!!

I can't change my build.prop anymore as this latest update doesn't have an ro.product.model! I want my chat back in the my account app! How do i change it?

In unrelated news, i had un/reinstalled the htc_ime.apk as per instructions with the last build to get it working and i tried to disable it by turning back on the android keyboard in local and i'm still getting the htc on screen keyboard. I just updated to .10 and expected it to be gone but it wasn't. Should i uninstall it? The release notes seem to mention an issue with it. I'd just assume go back to the default on screen keyboard until cyanogen green lights the htc_ime. Any instructions on how best to do that?

Call notification

I'm currently on 3.9.9.1 and very recently when the phone rings I'm not getting an on screen indication of of an incoming call. The phone rings and/or vibrates as it should, but the phone does not display who is calling nor any other indication of an incoming call.

Is there something that causes this to happen? Prior to flashing the ROM I did go through the wipe-delete ext3-reboot-wipe-repair ext3 routine. Other then this issue the phone has been stable and responsive.
