Cyanogen's Updates

Guys,

anyone knows when is the next update? Android is hitting 2.1 and we're still on a modded 1.6

Cyanogen....we always want more of you mods! keep them coming! the latest one is kinda slow, though it's stable.
[G1 Android Development] CiDhed:
Cyanogen said that he will not update to eclair until there are full drivers for it. That means we will probably see it when 2.1 comes out for the mytouch.

He is working on an update according to his twitter.
[G1 Android Development] Mr.Jigolo:
thanx for the info. i'm running 4.2.14 and it's rather slow. my internal mem is down to 22.34 MB (i do have 100+ apps though but should be on SD card)

any thoughts?
[G1 Android Development] CiDhed:
Have you restarted since you installed these apps? You may also want to clear your browser and youtube cache as that will eat up your internal memory.

:edit:

Market cache too.
[G1 Android Development] zim2dive:
I may load up a 2.1 ROM and see what the real-life impact is of "no video drivers". I don't YouTube, so I won't miss that.. just do PIM stuff, and some games to pass the time. I would like to see Bluetooth control for Timeriffic (and that needs 2.x).

But mostly, my thoughts so far are patience and gratitude.. patience until we have 2.1 drivers (sound like that will happen in weeks? vs months?, and gratitude to running better than stock 1.6 firmware :)

I'm still 100% happier than where I was 3 weeks ago (on WinMo).
[G1 Android Development] Babaki:
go back to 4.2.13 and use the 10mb ram hack. epic speed increase
[G1 Android Development] CiDhed:
I have two G1's. One runs cyanogen's rom and the other runs OpenEclair(as it is the best 2.1 rom imo.) For battery life I can't beat cyanogen's rom. I have 50-60 percent battery left after unplugging it at 5am when I plug it in at 9pm. With the OE phone it eats battery rapidly while using it but runs fast.
[G1 Android Development] mozul:
acore has stopped when calling

I have 4.2.14.1 on my phone, upgraded via the CM Updater. Whenever I try to call someone via the contacts/favorites program I get a dialog box with "Sorry! The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force Close"

The only way I can make calls is with a Direct Dial Shortcut on the home screen.

Note: I do NOT have the bug of a few versions ago where you crash when you long press a contact. That works fine.

What can I do to fix this?

Thanks,

Kirk

10mb ram hack??!
[G1 Android Development] guitarfreak846:
Get the app called Cachemate and clear the cache and it should speed up the phone.
[G1 Android Development] Mr.Jigolo:
DAH!!!! why didn't i think of that?! internal mem jumped from 22 to 50 !!!!!

thanx a lot!

I have to flash the userdebug coming from a eclair ROM. Instructions are on Cyanogen's wiki page. A link to it is on the first page of this thread.
[G1 Android Development] jimmyhawk:
Go into settings of cachemate and check everything even the test stuff and when all is clear you should see more memory. Maybe you did already but double check it may favor you.

[G1 Android Development] Burko:
You just got that warm feeling that everyone got when they first heard of the 10mb ram hack
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
and then, of course, i started to wonder....if a magic has "192 MB" of RAM, and i got 50-60 free, when running nothing, does it really take 120-130 MB of RAM to run the phone when its just on standby?

where's the rest of my RAM? hmmm...
[G1 Android Development] Burko:
Google enhanced search and quick search box eats 20mb-ish.......

Before kernel hacks I'd like to see that addressed....
[G1 Android Development] zim2dive:
I'm new to Android.. searching for RAM in the subject titles pretty much came up with only ram hack threads... if I wanted to learn about managing RAM is there a good guide/thread? (other than the 10M ram hack)

I'm still on stock SPL (altho I think the Danger SPL frees up ROM.. not RAM?), and have in the low-20's of RAM available.. is that good/bad? strategies for doing better? and/or does it really only matter if I get down to 0 and the OS has to start killing off apps to free up RAM?

I have manually wiped my dalvik cache and run the cachemate demo (not sure what the demo does/not do vs the paid version??)

thanks,

Mike

edit: when I "su;cd /data; du -sh *" dalvik-cache is 36.8M and data is ~7M. I have no idea if those are good/bad. My SCcard is 3 partitions, so I expect to have apps on SD (but that may be ROM vs. RAM)... yes folks I am still learning my way around...
[G1 Android Development] digitaljeff:
low 20's is pretty good, when i was using my g1 i would sit between 20-30mb free...

[G1 Android Development] jimmyhawk:
2.1

You all know cyanogen makes the best and most stable roms out there. When flashed correctly you should never have problems. When all of the 2.1 drivers are released you all know that cyanogen will create the best and most stable 2.1 rom to date. Just be patient and give him a little time to do his magic. We don't need anymore half assed roms. His will be full and complete. I have faith.
[G1 Android Development] :
i'm super happy with the latest ROM from Cyan. Stable fast and looks great, and the upgraded music app and clock is awesome. I'm in no hurry to be on 2.1, i trust in Cyano and his awesomeness ,
[G1 Android Development] UndeniablyRexer:
I followed the complete install from the cyanogen wiki on my ADP1. It all went perfectly, although now I don't have any audio in or out when I make or receive a call. Any tips? Thanks for any help.

I'm really excited for the next update. Its been a while. I'm hoping for 2.???? rom.
[G1 Android Development] Chosen_on184:
Well then i guess it didn't go perfectly then.

You could either run a fix_permissions or re-flash the rom(no wipe) just reflash and see if that fixes it
[G1 Android Development] mrsexy:
You also have to reinstall the ringtones and whatnot.

[G1 Android Development] Gazorninplat:
I can't post links, but check out thread 622666 in XDA here. Cursorsense ROM uses a similar approach to manage memory aggressively and from my experience, it works better than any task killer I've tried.

[G1 Android Development] Part Four:
If you're hoping for 2.x from Cyanogen, expect to wait awhile. He stopped doing experimental builds 3/4 of the way through last year. Looks like he won't release anything unfinished anymore, which means no 2.0/1 until all of the official drivers are released.

I find that my phone runs much better with daily reboots. Is this common for CM or Android in general? How often is "normal" as far as reboots goes?
[G1 Android Development] mckoy1:
Its common I think because of the multitasking.
[G1 Android Development] ocsic159:
I just flashed did a full wipe and full wipe of ext 3 comming from the 13 build and my g1 gets stuck on the g1 screen
[G1 Android Development] Chosen_on184:
Then somewhere you seemed to miss a critical step. Did you flash the base rom first before flashing cyan rom ?
[G1 Android Development] phiredrop:
Fast stock ROM; Slow Cyanogen

Still loving the ROM. I have noticed though that having the WiFi on slows the phone (MT32B) down a lot. It takes longer to load the homescreen than if it's off; more difficult to swipe between home screens as if it doesn't sense me touching the screen.

Plus, I know Pandora takes a lot of resources, but using Pandora makes almost everything else on the phone almost unusable because it's so slow, even using task manager and the 10MB hack.

Overall I'm still a big cyan fan.

On a side note, I got a G1 for my wife. Hers has the stock 1.6 T-mobile ROM on it and it's incredibly comparable in speed, if not faster than my Cyanogen 4.2.14.1 on my MyTouch 3G. The touch sensitivity is also very sensitive and easy to use on her G1 compared to my MT3G. How can this be?
[G1 Android Development] phiredrop:
How are you getting 50-60MB of RAM? I'm only getting about 30 with no background processes on my MT3G 32B...
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
i use home++ and it has a task manager built in...when ending all tasks with that, i usually get anywhere from 45 to 50 or so, one time i got 60 free...

its not always consistent, but the range of 45-50ish is consistent...

notice, i dont use a theme
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
For me, it was common when I used Compcache. With "real" swap it's weeks between reboots, and there's no slow down. My phone is as snappy after 1 week uptime as when I have just rebooted.

/Mats
[G1 Android Development] Rubman:
I have the same problem that the phone seems to slow down when not rebooted for a while. how can i use this compcache? (consider me a Noob)
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
What I was saying was "Do not use compcache". My experience is that while initially making the phone mnore responsive, its performance degrades over time (within hours!), making the phone slower than without any swap at all. However, it's configurable under Spare Parts. How to set up "real" swap is described in detail many times, and probably easy to find if you use Search.

Hi everyone!

Does anybody get problems with sms messages? I get them on all kind of roms... I never had them on my nokia e61...

the problem is that they kind of stuck somewhere... and then come all at once... like 6-7 of them... i suppose they stuck like for 30 mins... I noticed that this problem is only for incoming messages...

I might add that I am kind of heavy smser...
[G1 Android Development] zim2dive:
One noob helping another.. not saying you should/not use cc.. but you can enable it with the SpareParts apps that was installed with CM.

There is a CC vs swap, etc page at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Compcache

I enabled CC for 2 days.. honestly I can't tell you if it made the phone faster/slower/sexier, whatever.
[G1 Android Development] tjhart85:
I now use Advanced Task Killer to automatically kill excess apps every 30 minutes. The battery life is much better & it doesn't need to be rebooted as often. Just make sure you set things like gmail in your ignore list or you won't get notifications.
[G1 Android Development] phiredrop:
I just got Home++ to check it out and I love it! It's so much more responsive to the touch than Cyanogen's default home. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

It also reports as much as 50MB free after killing all processes. Awesome.

[G1 Android Development] carlsbad0331:
EDIT: I spent about 4 hours yesterday searching and reading and getting more confused than anything... Today in 15 minutes I found exactly what I needed HERE.

Thanks guys!

I have been keeping up with your mods for quite some time now. I started using it several versions ago and have ALWAYS been incredibly pleased. So thank you!

I just recently found a thread that gave instructions for changing the boot screen (the T-Mo/G1 screen at boot).

My question is this, it is my understanding that I have the wrong SPL and that I cannot install or use fastboot to change this image.

I see that in this versions notes it states that DangerSPL is not needed... Is there an SPL (such as HardSPL) that can be safely used with your mods?

I am not sure that changing a boot screen is worth all the effort involved, because I am so pleased with everything else... But I would like to do it if possible.

Thank you kindly for any assistance you might offer.
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
Well, no, I don't, but since it really only takes about ten minutes to flash (base + ROM, if necessary < 10 minutes ,) go ahead and flash and if a new ROM comes out, you can just flash that one too. Let us know if you have any problems or questions.

Where is the original alarm app???

I need that......or does anyone know a reasonable replacement??????
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
DeskClock from Eclair builds replaces Alarm Clock. It is more than a suitable replacement.
[G1 Android Development] oldsk00lz:
HE tweeted that he is backporting more eclaire stuff. He mentioned hoping to work on it more soon. As always, we'll get it when we get it. You can;t blame the guy for trying to take the Nexus to the next level.

If you kill your background processes every now and then, then its not too common. If you have TONS of apps, there will be MORE background processes eating memory. I've ran pretty streamlined with 150+ apps, but do need to kill processes on a regular basis.

Yeh, I always preferred the Linux swap over compcache. Compcache starts out nice but always seemed to slow down on me.

Me too. Am hoping he releases something soon.

I may have to get a Nexus1 to satisfy my cyanogen fix. I rooted a friends Nexus and really like it, though a physical keyboard would be nice. I also don;t see why Google is not requesting more memory (for G1 and N1 both)!!! I mean, even the 2.1 sense UI and HTC framework is too much for the nexus without being trimmed.
[G1 Android Development] djcalamari:
I didn't like the new clock much. You can download Root Explorer from the market, navigate to system... then apps... and remove the Deskclock. Then download an earlier rom that had the clock in it, any rom will do. Unzip it on your PC. Navigate to system, then apps... within the rom. Copy the Alarm clock app, save it to SD. Use root explorer to move it to system... apps... then open the file and install. I did it this way.

I am sure there is an "easier" technical way to do this, but this is how I got it to work. Here, I'll just give you the apk. Hope this is ok to share, delete my post if it's not kosher.
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:

Swap partition

Hello everybody, after looking half an hour the forum searching for this without results, I must ask: before flashing this CM Rom, I made a swap partition.. how can I be sure that this rom is using that? Is that useful? :confused:

Problems with Auto Rotate With no Mms.apk

Hey Cyanogen .. this is something that i think is specifically for you. I have been using your ROMs for quite some time now and they work very well. This is for the G1

I have tried off and on removing the stock messaging app (Mms.apk) from the phone and then use the app Handcent as a standalone app for texting due to its much better features .. like the blacklisting option (which, with the stock app in the phone the blacklisted text still show up and go in the messages .. defeats the purpose).

So awhile back on one of your older ROMs now, i did uninstall the stock Mms.apk from the phone using this code:

Su
Mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtblock3 /system
Rm /system/app/Mms.apk
Then reboot the phone

the phone at this point ran absolutely fine ... BUT at this time the handcent app did not work as a standalone(would pop up the messages but not stay in the inbox) .. but NOW .. Handcent does work as a standalone! :)

So which brings me to lastnight. Now using your latest ROM avail for the G1 phone.

I decided to try it again. I ran the same code as before and rebooted the phone .. a few times and even wiped the dalvik-cache.

The problem is that now for some reason the phone will give me an error message "the process android.process.acore has unexpectedly stopped responding"

This happens EVERY TIME I rotate the screen from portrait mode to landscape mode and also when i open up the keypad on ANY screen .. not just when using handcent.

I am REALLY hoping that you will have an answer to this as this was not an iusse with the older ROM for whatever reason and maybe have a fix in an update ..or an update that does NOT include the stock Mms.apk so we can ad the handcent one ourselves or even and option where the handcent is the built in messaging app to start with .. maybe .. i dont know .. but i would really like some help .. this is something i have been looking forward to for a long time now .. thank you.

NOTE:

I am Using the G1

have the HTC recovery image

using your latest update as of today

latest radio

death spl

.. thats all i can think of for now

Green Hero Eclair Theme

Hey all!,

what i wanted to do is change the "Beautiful Widgets" in the green hero eclair theme for 4.2.14.1 My problem is that when trying to upgrade or uninstall the version on that theme it is now a system app. And it wont allow me to change it using the application installer. I tried to change it using terminal emulator app and this code:

$su

#mount /system -o remount,rw

rm /system/app/com.levelup.beautifulwidgets.apk

cp /sdcard/com.levelup.beautifulwidgets.apk

The problem i'm getting is in the 3rd line it tells me "no such directory" I'm guessing the name is different or maybe its in a totally different directory all together. Any idea's what the name for the beautiful widgets apk is on that theme or where its located? Any help will be great! thanks again

The problem is you have to supply a destination for the copy command (cp) - Like

cp /sdcard/com.levelup.beautifulwidgets.apk /system/app/com.levelup.beautifulwidgets.apk

Keep in mind that Beautiful Widgets isn't free, and if you got it included in a theme, it's warez.

To keep a clean conscience, just do the "rm" part, then download Beautiful Widgets from Market.

OE to Cyanogen v4

Hey guys/girls,

I have been on cyanogen build with my G1 for a while but recently tried out the OpenEclair (OE) build of the android 2.1.

OE is in a good place but not good enough yet in my opinion so I decided to go back to cyanogen latest build.

After cleaning out the apps2sd partition (reformatting) and applying the v4.2.14.1 build, I am not able to get beyond g1 start up screen.

Any ideas how to revert OE to Cyanogen v4.2.14.1?

I had a similar problem and what I found to help me was to start over. I went all the way back from flashing RC29 using the instructions from CM's wiki on how to at the beggining of this post:

I am a fan of 4.2.12.2 this ROM with the Dark-Dream-1.8.1.4-cm-4.2.12.2 has worked great for me so I have stuck with it. Thus far, maximum performance and I love the look. But the instructions on there should be good to go. Hope that helps.
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
