Slow Performance from Cyanogen ROM

I know I don't have a lot of specific info to give, but any help based on what I have would be appreciated. I was running the latest version of the Cyanogen ROM and had been updating for several months. It always seemed a bit laggy to me, but I hadn't used a stock OS for many months, so I figured it was normal. However, I just had a warranty replacement and using the 1.6 firmware stock, the phone is WAY faster than what I've had on Cyanogen, any version.

I am just wondering what things could cause this. Everywhere I read, everyone says that Cyanogen's ROM runs so much faster than stock, but I have no idea why mine is not. My only possible thought is that it could be my SD card (I ran A2SD) which is an 8GB Class 4. Do I absolutely need a Class 6? I think some people use Class 4 without trouble. I also was using the basic compcache that was added in Cyanogen's mod. Should I be setting up swapper as well, or should it be faster even without this. Any tips would be appreciated.

I haven't taken the plunge to reinstall Cyanogen on my new phone yet, but when I do that, I'm hoping it runs at least as fast as the stock Donut, which is quite impressive.

does any of your other google apps work like gmail gtalk? i know if you dont install the roms correctly market will fc. u may have to wipe and re-install.

I went back to stock donut today in order to troubleshoot a small problem I was having, it was so much slower than CM 4.2x that I ended up upgrading back to CM straight away. Whilst I realize this doesn't help with your problem I can confirm that a properly functioning version of the current cyanogen mod is a lot swifter and more stable than the stock firmware, this is in it's standard state no swap or compcache or bfs.
[G1 Android Development] smuvman:
i tried

i tried rebooting, reinstalling, i even wiped! thing is when i try to look at my contacts through the phone browser it says "attempting to connect" i cant go to gmail from my job (buttheads) so maybe i'll figure it out when i get home. like i sed no biggie just wonderin if anybody else had this issue. thanx though

4.2.2 and themes...

I was using cyanogen 4.2.1 and enoch 1.4 theme. After upgrading to cyanogen 4.2.2, cmupdater doesn't show any themes. Can I use enoch 1.4 with cyanogen 4.2.2?
[G1 Android Development] a2000rick:
I have a roger's dream, and it seems that I can only run cyanogen recovery v1.2, but not 1.4. Can I still install Cyanogenmod 4.2.2 with recovery 1.2?
[G1 Android Development] peejaybee:
Subtle Google Voice goofiness

On 4.2.2, Google Voice is working mostly OK for me -- I can dial out from the Voice app, get my messages, all that stuff.

There is, however, one thing that is not working. Although I have "use Google Voice for all calls" set in Voice options, calls do not go out with the GV number in Caller ID, and do not appear in the GV call log. I suspect that they are not going out through GV at all.

Has anybody else seen this behavior? Does anybody else know what I might be missing?
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
You're asking in the wrong place ask in the thread for that particular theme. For CM updater problems asking in the CM Updater thread.

MMI Error

Connection problem or invalid MMI code.

This is the message i get when i try to dial *105#7 digit mobile number#. this code is used to transfer 100 units (1 second=1 unit) to another 7 digit number in the cell network.

*100# is used for checking balance this one is working. please try to do something about this. I need this function badly and there are no other ways to transfer balance points to other number. This is very urgent.

I also checked it with another sim card of different operator it had *777#10# code to check the balance and showed me the same error above...

weatherbug and beautiful widgets have both been functioning flawlessly for me since 4.2.1 was released.

Try disabling the lock home app in memory option in spare parts and let us know if this helps

I have 2 G1's currently running cm 4.2.2 with a 32meg swap and they are blazing fast. My phone is using a class 6 sdcard and my wifes phone is using a class 2 and i really dont notice a difference between the two.

Previously we were running the last stable cm mod and we were using the compcache only, with no linux swap and both phones were noticeably faster than stock. I did notice that the phones would start to lag after a day or so of constant use and had to be rebooted in order to get them running fast again. With the new rom and a swap I havent noticed any lag at all.

This may be a dumb question, but were you running your apps off the sd? I also used the move cache to sd app in order to take some cache use off of the phones memory. Both of these sped up CM's rom quite a bit.
[G1 Android Development] iifuzz:
I upgraded to latest Cyanogen mod now...

my Android Market is way messed up.....

Nothing is showing up in my Downloaded Apps.. not even the ones i purchased....

i bought an app, and i need to refund it and i cant....

i tried doing asearch for the app i bought in the market in order to open it thru there and click Refund, but the market crashes whenever i open that app...

I also get no notifications of updates..

is there a way to update my market ? i know cyanogen mod can no longer include it in their roms.

Keyboard bug?

Has anyone else had their right Alt key act weird when using the keyboard? If I use the left Alt key, I can type just fine. But if I use the right Alt key, it actually acts like a sticky key and keeps Alt engaged unless I press it again to cycle back to normal text input.

I havent verified it on my other phone, just wondering if I am alone.
[G1 Android Development] iifuzz:
I wiped when i installed 4.1.99 and followed all the directions..

my market was messed up then as well, just not as bad..

i could see my download list before, just it would not notify me of updates and would crash if i tried to enter the Notification options in the market.

This time around with latest update, i just updated without update

Doesn't works. After remove sd to rename the second rom and put it back, the phone doesn't see it. Now I have the operator logo in any boot mode; I think I bricked my G1
[G1 Android Development] jimbo831:
Yes, I do have Apps to SD, which is what I meant by A2SD. I'm sorry, I didn't clarify that abbreviation. Were you not using A2SD? I just don't think there's enough space on the phone to not use this, but if it makes the phone run so much slower, maybe it is worth it. Is A2SD still fast if you have a Class 6?
[G1 Android Development] a2000rick:
You can still go into recovery, so couldn't you just install cyanogenmod by itself without the htc recovery?
[G1 Android Development] mfrey0118:
Hmm...twice in a row now when I've tried to change my notification ringtone in settings the phone has frozen and rebooted...and only when I access it from Home>Settings>Sound & Display. If I go into Messaging and Settings, it works.

Go into your Google voice settings and reselect the option to use google voice for all calls or which ever option you have selected. Then exit. It should show your google voice number to the person you are calling.

Go into "Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->Browser" and clear the browser cache.

somehow it looks like overclock widget doesn't work with 4.2.1 and 4.2.2. I set it to use frequencies from 245mhz to 528mhz when turning on the display. but my g1 will always clock the cpu with 528mhz. when choosing 384mhz as maximum frequency the g1 will always run with 384. taskmanager doesn't show any high cpu usage.

has anyone else experienced such a behaviour?

Except for that i like the rom.

Camera, Gallery

Hey, thanks for replying my to my post. I tried that. I wiped SD card, re-partitioned, wiped, flashed 1.6, rebooted, wiped and flashed 4.2.2 and it worked flawlessly. Everything came up. But I just have 3 apps that wont load no matter how many times I wipe and reflash - Camera, Gallery and Alarm Clock. I use them often so I miss their functionality... Any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] dcorrea:
My bad I missed that you said you were using A2SD... Yeah I am using it as well so thats probably not your issue.
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
Ok, I really hope someone can help answer this one mostly because its confusing me so much!

cyanogen states here

http://twitter.com/cyanogen/status/5222589198

that the code to keep home in memory resides in the launcher code, so by logic this option should do nothing when using the advanced launcher.

I disabled the option today when I saw this message thinking it might potentially cause problems having it enabled when I'm not using the default launcher. I noticed far more delays with the home screen reloading than I had done previously. After a few hours I decided to enable it anyway just to check and after rebooting everything was back to normal, no more waiting for home to reload after using the browser.

This is confusing the only reason I can think of for this behavior is that the option to keep the launcher in memory was already coded into the launcher and cyanogen added an option to spare parts to do so. How else would the same option allow AdvancedLauncher to stay in memory if its coded into the application itself?

It'd be great if cyan spots this post and could give a few more details, I'm not complaining I love the option and I'm really pleased it works for AdvancedLauncher too I'm just a little curious as to how it works if the code is in the launcher.

If you don't believe me try it for yourself, install advanced launcher replacement app and disable the option in spare parts, then load something big in the browser (I find threads here with 200 posts per page works well) and then hit home. There will be the delay we are all used to from past versions whilst the home app reloads.

However if you enable the option to keep home in memory and repeat the home screen will load instantly.

Copilot?

Sorry to keep whining...

But I'd rally like to switch to 4.2.2 but without Copilot working I'll have to keep waiting...
[G1 Android Development] prettyboy85712:
Copilot works on this ROM. The only reason it wouldn't work is if you have a cracked version.
[G1 Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Seems we will be getting native USB tethering in the next build, cant wait! Anyone feel like modifying the replacement AdvancedLauncher to have the same pull-bar. I love the new design?
[G1 Android Development] followinginsanity:
I don't know the exact 'fix' he used to enable this but I don't believe anything in the launcher was actually modified. So in theory any replacement launcher would benefit from this tweak.
[G1 Android Development] mattg:
I think the twitter post was refering to a fix for a bug which meant icons dissapeared from the home screen. Nothing to do with locking the home screen in memory.
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
cyan says in his tweet the fix is in the launcher code, so how is it present using a totally different Launcher.apk ? I guess he could have meant the home screen code...
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
Ah ha this would also make perfect sense, curiosity satisfied until I hear otherwise, would still be cool to know how he did get it to stay in memory :)

4.2.2 from 4.2.1

Good Evening All. I just tried to flash 4.2.2 but after reboot I am left with a black screen for at least 20 minutes. I have never had a problem before this update. I am able to revert back to 4.2.1 with no problems. If I am not mistaken 4.1.999+ can just flash correct? Just curious if anyone else is having the same problem.

Thanks, Ryan
[G1 Android Development] followinginsanity:
updated my post btw idk what i was thinking when I wrote it the first time lol.
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
its ok I made a fuss over nothing anyway really lol, just got confused by that tweet I'm really glad it works for all Launcher apps anyway its my favourite recent enhancement makes the phone seem so much faster.
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
Yep 4.19x+ should be able to flash fine, try downloading the update again or do an md5 check could be a corrupt download maybe. If the problem continues do a wipe of phone and ext and try again.
[G1 Android Development] masterrn:

Just updated and everything is working great but is anyone else having trouble with streaming video?? I'll be on youtube and the video will start out fine but then it will freeze and give me "This video cannot be played back" or something close to that. Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] shaithis01:
Having a similar issue with every other restart. Black screen I've wiped/factory reset, deleted recreated partitions, reformated, etc. However every other restart is a black screen.

Beginning process was as follows: wipe/factory reset. wipe ext partition, repaired ext filesystem, convert ext2 to ext2, install HTC rom, reboot into recovery (after radio installs) and install Cyanogen 4.2.2.

First start is fine, restart black screen, remove battery restart fine, restart black screen. Rinse repeat.

I didn't have this issue with 4.1.99 but have with every rom from 4.1.999 on.
[G1 Android Development] embracelb:
Quick question, I'm coming from CM 4.0.4 do I have to flash 4.1.99 then flash 4.2.2. Or can I just wipe then jump straight to 4.2.2 just as long as I flash the HTC 1.6 Recovery Image first then the cm-4.2.2 ROM?
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
You can go straight to 4.2.2 as long as you flash the htc one first :) dont forget to format your ext partition if you want to avoid problems
[G1 Android Development] dcorrea:
My wifes G1 had a similar issue when I first rooted and flashed a cm rom, and then again when I upgraded to 4.2.2. Flashing rom went smooth but when after the custom CM android screen, the phone went blank. I had to actually remove the SD card and boot it that way first, which it booted fine. Then I shut the phone off, inserted sd card and never had a problem since.
[G1 Android Development] embracelb:
Thanks (: Yea i just got a brand new SD card a few hours ago so i plan to just pop in my SD card use Amon Ra's Recovery v1.2.3 & partition it & then let the flashing begin (:

If anything goes wrong, pop in my old SD card to get it back to norm & try it again. Trial & error -.-" lol

Hopefully I won't run into the many errors i've been reading about. *crosses fingers.
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
For every problem you read about there's 100 people running it fine, good luck hope it goes ok :)
[G1 Android Development] deekdeek:
Well, I'm trying to flash 4.2.2 but looks like its stuck at my providers logo. All the fun stuff happens to me I suppose i was upgrading from 4.2.1. Well i certainly hope putting 4.2.1 backon brings things to normal.

At first i tried the cyanogen updater, then i copied to SD and did it the normal way i do it, both resulted in the same outcome. wiped and tried again still same.

-update while typing , 4.2.1 looks to be booting normally.

Hello,

I have the Amon Ra 1.2.3g recovery image, not the cyanogen1.4

I have the mytouch 32b

How do I go about using cyanogens roms without using the 1.4 recovery image?

because i know with that u have to use the keyboard, which the mytouch doesnt have..

G1 Keybord (physical) error

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this problem, I installed cm 4.2.1 (upgrading from 4.1.11.1) and my physical keyboard started to give me errors when typing like the space button becomes "/ ~Z{" some letters are fine, all numbers are fine. I tried going back to 4.1.11.1 but same problem still occurs, I'm right now upgrading to 4.2.2 but I didn't see this as a problem for anyone else.

Anyone knows what's wrong with my device and/or how to fix it?

Thanks in advance :)
[G1 Android Development] JAWheat411:
To do anything that keyboard is needed for in Amon Ra's, you start recovery, go to console. Then start up ADB on your pc and run adb shell. You can then run BART or whatever you need. So basically all commands are typed from pc and not on phone.

It did take me a few minutes to realize this. Since I had a G1 (still do) but just bought a Mytouch.
[G1 Android Development] mrnv45:
i think you have to keep the recovery up after you install the htc 1.6...then install cyans rom..

but note.. if you havent had 4.1.99 or greater.. u must install 4.1.99 before updating to 4.2.2... or any other..htc then 4.1.99... nothin else..

also if you did .. try removing sd card..pullin battery.. restart u phone without sd card in... when it gets to g1 screen.. pull battery..

then put sd card bacc in.. reboot to recovery.. run console..

press enter

fix_permissions

when its done..

type in

reboot recovery

then bacc in recovery..

run fix ext extensions..and uik,, what ever those to are called.. also.. wipe:cdalvik-cache!

thats what i do and it boots fine!
[G1 Android Development] jonstanley2:
Just to be clear though, I must use cyanogens 1.4 to run his roms?

I forgot about adb since I never use it

thanks for the tips.
[G1 Android Development] followinginsanity:

[G1 Android Development] here.david:
You might think of it this way,

if your phone (G1) is an auto then the recovery is the type of gas (Shell/Chevron/Etc) and the ROM is your engine...kind of idea...your auto runs on many types of gas and the make of auto has various types of engines depending on what you prefer.

While not a one-to-one match good enough for you to get the idea....ANY 'high-end' engine (ROM) may use any high-end recovery (gas)....:cool:

OK, so which source do i follow?! I'm currently on CM 4.0.4 can i go straight from 4.0.4 if i flash the HTC 1.6 Recovery Image first then the 4.2.2 ROM or do I wipe flash the HTC 1.6 Recovery Image + CM 4.1.99 then next just flash the 4.2.2?!?! PLEASE HELP (: thanks
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
navigate to settings>Applications>Manage applications>Google Apps

clear data

do the same for Gmail applications in settings

open the market to login to your google account again and see if the problem continues, some have reported this fixed the issue for them. Post your findings to the issues page with as much information as you can, also try a wipe and fresh install of the rom (including a format of your ext partition if present) before reporting any problems.

My gmail has been syncing properly since carrying out the above for the last 12 hours or so, I'm just hoping the problem doesn't return as it did once before.
