here is the page about coming from other roms to the latest cm, it helped me when i was coming from hero roms

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Upgrading_From_Older_CyanogenMod_or_other_rooted_ROMs

mostly the part about flashing the "signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip" before the rom you are coming to, which can be found here
[G1 Android Development] SpiggidyBob:
Quick question. My SDCard got corrupted, in the process now of re-partitioning and all that stuff. Will A2SD automatically run and move my apps over to the ext3 partition or will I have to reflash the ROM so it sets everything up?
[G1 Android Development] veda_sticks:
Thats the strange thing though, as it worked perfectly for me coming from sense hero up until i flashed some of the extra stuff, like facebook and international maps gapps fix etc. dont even know why i isntalled the gapps fix.

Im back on sense hero but its just to slow despite being the fastest one i have tried and im tired of having the home reload all the time.

Ill try again and not bother with any of those updates, and if it still doesnt work then i will follow the instructions you linked thanks
[G1 Android Development] xillius200:
Here's a good hero rom to try out when you have the time blazingly fast mghtymax 1.9.1
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
no cause your apps were on the ext so they can't be put back unless you have a back up. you will need to flash again and re download apps. same thing happened to me this morning, among other things. if it still seems to have some issues, missing apps in the menu etc you will have to wipe, but not flash a second time.
[G1 Android Development] saywhat4118:
thanks for the upload i'll give it a try. Im also going to try that FixMe.zip xillius200 recommended.
[G1 Android Development] SpiggidyBob:
Ok so A2SD is something that only runs the first time you boot the ROM, setting up all the links and stuff. Thanks
[G1 Android Development] saywhat4118:
Hey xillius200 I have a quick question, So after i wipe and flash the rom should i let it reboot or right after the installation completes i should apply the FixMe.zip update?
[G1 Android Development] mc900fttommy:
swap

sorry if this has been asked, i searched but didn't find this. I love the new rom, but i'd like to use swap so my apps don't reload. i prefer using linux swap to compcache and was wondering if i can use straight linux swap and disable compcache with this rom, and is setting that up any different? can i just plug in my userinit.sh and user.conf files that i always used with regular cyanogenmod? will that disable compcache or does it have to be disabled some other way with this rom? thanks for the help
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Me neither. Where could one find that apk? Unless you are talking about Dolphin. If so, then yeah, Dolphin is the truth!!!!

Co-sign!

I'm running CFS-RamHack and it's going pretty smooth. Does BFS RamHack make that much of a noticeable difference? Is there a significant speed increase?

Also, anybody help me out with my themed youtube and market question?
[G1 Android Development] xillius200:
Yeah Dolphin Kicks Ass

The BFS i find has a significant speed increase and you can notice it but that may just be me try it out and have a look yourself

Also what do you need help on with the themed youtube and market question if you need someone to design it ill have a go
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
i believe so, i had some issues with it not cooperating so it would be best to try from scratch if your sd got screwed up. if you can avoid the wipe your settings will remain for all the apps though.

try without first, as i have mentioned in previous posts i have personally never used the fixme.zip. i'm not even sure what it does.

you can use your own user.conf. push both files to system/sd.

edge is slooooooow and ebuddy connection problems

Since build Y is edge reaaaaally sloooooow, it is not only "not so fast" its slow. It took about 4 minutes to load this thread!

And ebuddy has problems with the signing in process. Sometime it works, sometimes it doesn`t.

May be ill repost tomorrow with a logcat.

What could help?

I changed build.trout.prop for better performance...
[G1 Android Development] xillius200:
It will be good if edge could be sped up it would fix my aBTC problems i have lol

however i think edge is meant to be slow anyway it takes 20-30 secs to load a page here that is at around the top speed of edge and dont forget the other factors where it depends on network you are using for instance my network vodafone is slower on edge than O2.

also EDGE tops speeds theoretical maximum of 473 kilobits per second it takes around that time to load the forum aswell using EDGE but once again we cannot forget there is alot of data to download better thing to do would try and find a network with 3g if you are going to use the internet on your phone.
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
build y is edge? what do you mean by that? i have 3g and it is not slow. maybe your network connectivity is temporarily poor.

and if an app has issues it may be the app. did you wipe first?

what kind of changes did you make to build.prop? that doesn't configure performance variables but build properties.
[G1 Android Development] xillius200:
Hey i am wondering if he is trying to say that th EDGE in build Y is slow not that because it is EDGE it i slow. I might be wrong though :p

also ID# if you read it properly it says EDGE/3G Modified Build.prop for faster throughput speeds also you are the only one moaning on the intire forum that you are having problems with the network you sure you have not set a setting where it says only use 2g network?
[G1 Android Development] BrutalHoe:
after a while my phone started to slow down.....rotation is buggy,apps trying to fc wont respond...gonna try bfs i guess
[G1 Android Development] xillius200:
That sounds bad hope you get it fixed

I know this may sound bad but after all wesgarners work and long awaited rom theres been nothing but trouble and bugs im sry wes im just stating the obvious however i can contridict that with nothing is perfect lol
[G1 Android Development] BrutalHoe:
yeah wes should give us testers more time b4 releasing
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
what cc settings are you using? i have found that using backingswap slows down alot. i have had great luck using cc as is, no swap partition (as it will use it for backing swap) and no user.conf (as the base settings are nice and quick) maybe give this set up a try?

oh and i am using the bfs with the hack and so far so good. i was having some issues with the bfs no hack, fc's and slow boot. now boot is quick and i haven't noticed any fc's or slowing down.. yet lol
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
yea you could be right about the edge thing, i may have mistook it :)

i didn't know build.prop changed settings, i thought it was an information bank of properties of the build for the system to base other things off of.. although that is of course an assumption based only on looking at the file previously.
[G1 Android Development] xillius200:
yeah you can edit

ro.ril.hsxpa=1

ro.ril.gprsclass=10

in it but the file he needs to edit is build.prop.saphire or build.trout also i think the setting used to be different i think hsxpa used to equal 2 and gprsclass used to equal 12 the old build.prop used to make a slight difference - Checked he did change it to these values a while ago.

People... the mentioned settings will only work if your network supports them!

Most important is the fact that they NEED to be set to the value that your network is currently supporting if you want to enjoy optimal speeds!!

ro.ril.hsxpa=0 – UMTS r99

ro.ril.hsxpa=1 – HSDPA

[G1 Android Development] BrutalHoe:
i have CC enabled in Spare parts and i do have have the Linux-swap partition on sd but i didn't use swapper or changed any settings in user.conf
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
i would suggest removing the swap partition(the built in cc settings will use your linux swap for backing swap if the partition is available) and seeing how that treats you, it made a big difference for me. or you could edit user.conf to have backingswap off, it is what slows everything down. just 32mb cc seems very quick for me, the only slowing down is after heavy web browser the widgets take a second but not long enough to care much.

and i feel i should warn you to back up your ext if you plan on resizing it, after my mornings mishap lol
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Maybe I'll give bfs a go if something clonks out with the CFS I'm running now. It's smooth sailing so far so I'mma just stand pat and let sleeping dogs lay (or is it lie?)

As for my themed question, I noticed in the changelog that this is supposed to have a themed market and themed youtube. Looking at both, they seem the same. What is it that I am missing that makes them themed?

If you are using T-Mobile, it looks like it may be an issue on their end. Mini convo going on about it in Cyan's thread.
[G1 Android Development] xillius200:
If it does clonk out don't hesitate to have a go :)

also the themed market and youtube even though it says in the changelog i don't think it seemed to work i don't have a themed market or youtube checked the other roms either they don't have it it just looks like the normal market and youtube. Another error :rolleyes: lol
[G1 Android Development] saywhat4118:
Tried the FixMe.zip right after i installed the WG build Y but im still stuck on the G1 screen. Tried to flash the FixMe.zip again by going into recovery but this time it didnt even flash the FixMe.zip so Im still stuck with this rom not booting. Again I do have the latest radio, Danger Spl, Three partitions ext3/linux-swap 96mb, Class 6 8gb sd card. I have no idea what the problem is. any other suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
try with no fixme.zip, just wipe and flash the rom and see how that goes

and you probably want to get rid of swap space, the rom will use it for backing swap which slows things down quite a bit from my experience
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
I sure will. I had been using BFS faithfully, but after reading about Wes not recommending it, I started to go with CFS. I'll keep the zip on my memory just in case I get that itch.

I don't think they are themed either. What's ironic is I believe they were in the last build of his I was using, which was Build 9.1. I remember having the new market, with the T-mobile tab instead of the download tab like I have now. That actually explains why I lost my Eclair icon and I was him about it a couple of pages back. I think when the market upgrades, it reverts the icon. As for the youtube, 9.1 had on screen controls that look like the you tube on your computer. You know the red line with the silver and black ball. With this one, it's the traditional yellow and gray android scheme.

I'm not complaining at all, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. With that being said, was it really 9.1 that gave me those version of youtube and market or was it some automatic ota that just showed up and self installed?
[G1 Android Development] badmonopoly:
Anyway to control the swap? I can definitely tell it's swapping too much right now.
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
Oo I pulled the new versions and changed out the icons
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
I removed the EDGE 12 build prop because 90% of the time when I was on a call it would kick off 3G - still experimenting whether it was hspa=2 or edge=12
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
No a2sd runs on every boot - except on MT3G

On the MT3G it does a one time copy from the /system/sd to the data partition of the apps - then all apps installed and etc are saved on the data partition

The cool part is if you switch to another ROM that ROM will automatically copy those apps back to your sdcard

For a G1 it is A2SD as normal except for system dalvik-cache which stays on the data partition
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
Personally, I would occasionally run clearcache from terminal - really does help

Also, though BFS is sometimes unstable and does kill battery life, Dwang and I concluded that it really didn't slow down as much over time because of memory leaks
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
lol sorry I have been away - what bugs are people having?
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
Oo just create a user.conf / userinit.sh on your ext that says don't do anything lol

Just have it do 32mb CC without backswap
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
How long did you wait? PM me

Did you get a logcat or can't?
[G1 Android Development] saywhat4118:
already tried that, I'll list the steps i take

1. Wipe data, wipe cache, wipe ext partition then repair ext.

3. I have the latest Amon RA recovery so I click on flash any zip then choose wgbuildY (this, hang at the G1 screen, happens on different roms like some I'm able to flash with no problem but some gets stuck on the G1 logo. Eclair 1.3 manup456 version loads just fine but his 1.4 didn't work. All hero roms never work anymore, nor cyanogen roms but WG builds up untill build Y worked and the official roms for tmobile works. Dwangs didn't but hero eclair worked... It's that random.)

4. After it tells me it's been installed with no errors I choose reboot now and wait. One time I let it sit there all night and in the morning I woke up with the phone still on the same screen.

Sorry for the long post but thought I make it clear that I'm not doing anything wrong, or I think I'm not doing anything wrong. So any idea what's going on?
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
It should on all of them - redownload because I did some hidden updates lol

Which one are you running NoRHack or RHack?
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
lol to kinda go along with what I have been doing

TAKE A BREAK!! lol
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
Just in case do the Danger SPL in the OP

Be very careful!! Radio THEN the SPL

Reboot between each update file
[G1 Android Development] saywhat4118:
Uhh sorry for the stupid question but how do I PM anyone? And where can I get the logcat so I can send it to you? Oh and I have waited a long time. 15, 20, sometimes 30+ minutes.
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
Im not really seeing why so many are having problems with a swap partition. I have/always have a 128mb swap for when I was a HERO rom whore and havent touched it. Since starting the WG builds I havent touched it. I dont use swapper, user.sh or Comanche. Phone wakes imediatly, calls come through within half a ring, no Fc's whatsoever unless I try to run one thing before anothe rstarts.. home screen is so fast when swiping I have to move my thumb slower.

I check FREE and none of the swap partition is being used.

Now, once I turn on either comanche or swapper thats when it bogs down within seconds.

Again.. everyones phone is different so who knows. But I have yet to be able to force a serious problem or slowdown in the CFS/ramhack.

Now... BFS was another story with phantom calls, lock ups and black screens galore.

Also... the new Superuser SUX. lol ;)

other then that, Wes.. You did an awesome AWESOME job with this. Please keep it up. and I so cannot wait till you get a hole of a true 2.0/2.1 build.
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
This sounds like the problem I had when first starting.

Now.. when it happened to me, it was because when transfering the roms to the phone they would get corrupted because either my cable was bad or SDcard was screwed. I repartitoned entire card MANUALLY, not with the auto partition in Amen ra. Then, Redownload the rom file and make sure it finishes. Turn on USB on phone and make it it fully transfers and you turn off USB.. reboot your phone back into recovery.

Flash the zip, fix ext then fix UID permissions.

Then reboot. and let it run. Sometimes it takes 2 min sometimes it takes 30. it has never taken me longer then 2min with 50 apps.

If you always get the G1 logo either your SD card is screwed or you do not have the correct SPL and/or radio.

just trying to help.
[G1 Android Development] saywhat4118:
Thank you for trying to help I really do appreciate it. Yes that's a thing I forgot to mention, I have been flashing for a really long time with this same sdcard with linux-swap and I think I heard somewhere that linux-swap eats your sdcard faster ten normal, so that could be the problem. I did reformat the amon RA way, that didn't do help so I'll try the manual way, and ill try getting a new sdcard. However I do believe I have the correct spl and radio because I was able to flash eclair 1.3 from manups just fine, it ends in 2005 or something like that and my radio ends in 26I but ill try flashing those again to see if that helps.

Thanks Wes, I'll try that. Got it, radio first then Spl then the rom correct?

I'll get back with the results.
[G1 Android Development] AsaSpades:
Lovin the rom, its excellent, but im having 1 problem with the market. I have apps that there are updates for, but when I try to update, the app will download then the Market gives me a FC and therefore does not install the app...any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] Morrolan:
My phone has become somewhat laggy since I installed Y R1. It has a difficult time coming out of sleep and handcent has horrible lag when first replying to a text. Even the home screen icon are not as responsive at times. I should mention I do have a swap partition, but I'm running about 30-40 apps. And I am using the latest Darkstar theme with stericson lockscreen and advanced launcher. When it's fast, though, it is blazing fast. I see all these posts about removing the swap partition, but how is that going to affect my apps? And is there a specific way I should partition an 8GB card for maximum efficiency? Thanks.

I don't want to sound like just a complainer. Thanks guys for the tip on the audio hack. Only $2.43 on the market and it fixed my sound problem completely.
[G1 Android Development] nephron:
anyway to remove the swap partition without having to reformat the whole SD card?
[G1 Android Development] xillius200:
I am guessing it is annoying to edit because the settings are different for the uk then the us also with different networks having different settings which they like so i can see where it's a problem lol

Not good if in the middle of an important phone call rofl
[G1 Android Development] wg1:
Previously cm rom i usually used the swap partiton, but my G1 was getting slowly, finally to crash.......

This time i canceled my swap partition accordinig to the guide

Everything still laggy, and apps often apear FC(especially when it's back to home screen)

but, when I used swap file by a swap app(because my swap partiton already remove), it's seem to improve

then I was confused, whether swap is really necessary?
[G1 Android Development] thierrz:
How to:

1. Go into recovery

2. Go to console

3. type:

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

4. type:

rm 3

5. type:

quit

6. type:

reboot
[G1 Android Development] powerofmusic:
the rom crash the home when I turn on the phone, i must touch on "attend" end then the rom work wery well... it's a know bug or not? (sorry for my bad english) :)
[G1 Android Development] ID#:
slow edge connection

Hey guys, I'm sorry, it seems like it wasn't clear what I meant...

Ok I'll try to explain.

In the versions before build y my internet-speed over edge was not so bad. The speed over edge was acceptable.

With

ro.ril.hsxpa=2

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

it was even better!

But since build Y the network-connection over edge is slow. It is taking much longer to load a website than before. (With Build 10.2 for instance).

Before I flashed build Y, I changed the build.trout.prop. ro.ril.hsxpa=1 -> ro.ril.hsxpa=2 and ro.ril.gprsclass=10 -> ro.ril.gprsclass=12.

This worked for me always.

I hope it is clear now!?

Thanks xillius200 for this Post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5266161&postcount=2449

I'm gonna talk with my operator about that :)
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
So are you saying it's the original apps with new eclair themed icons? Sorry if I am misinterpreting but I'm off a couple shots of that 'nac and SoCo! lol
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
see here

and it will not effect your apps, unless you try to resize the ext after. but you can just leave the empty space there. if you want to resize the ext, make a copy of the entire ext filesystem first. just in case it gets corrupted or something. then follow these instructions instead;

1) parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
2) print (note the number for the end of partition 3)
3) rm 3
4) resize 2
5) 'return key'
6) enter the number from step 2
7) print (to see the changes)
8) quit

hope that helps

and really you could partition however you like, swap is the only one you don't wanna go overkill with. around 5 or 6 hundred megabytes is pretty good for an ext for apps etc.
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
yea it sorta sounds like it could be your sd card, boot is when it starts moving apps and creating links etc, so if the card is eff'd it will hang out there trying.
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
click someones name along the top of a post of theirs, near the title. a menu will expand from their name, select private message and away you go :)
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
yea.. i'll try lol :D
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
yep, the newer original apps with nicer icons
[G1 Android Development] BrutalHoe:
Run fix uid and fix_permissions from the recover that should do it.
[G1 Android Development] :
What's your SD card...? Brand, model, class...

Regardless, I have the same experience as you. The phone seems to run the fastest without CC and swap.
[G1 Android Development] SpiggidyBob:
Sounds like the problem I'm having. I think my ext partition got effed somehow and now the phone wont recognize the ext or swap partition. I had to blow the card away with my laptop, recreate the fat32 partition so I could at least load the ROM up, but now when I try to install anything from the market I get errors about not having enough space (assuming because its not seeing the ext partition). I've actually got a conversation going in the Amon recovery thread, trying to see if I can salvage the sd card or not. Right now I'm not using an ext partition, just to have a working phone.
