Yes, somebody needs to load a video of a "slow launcher" to YouTube so we can actually compare it to our experiences.

When I loaded CM .6t I noticed no difference between stock and Helix... both were fast (six reasonably full screens).

Somebody who is complaining please load two videos - your phone with a "fast" launcher (any rom) and the same phone, same mods, same apps, same layout with a "slow" launcher.

Even better idea - the NEXT person in this tread to claim a slow launcher HAS to upload the videos... ? Why not... if you can be bothered complaining about free software then bother to help us try and fix it.
[Nexus One Android Development] y2whisper:
Thats a good wrinkle. As there are a number of factors that seem to add to the slow speed and its not consistently bad across the board.
[Nexus One Android Development] norazi:
can someone tell me how i should setup my SD partitions?

i dont plan on installing any apps to SD so i should just set EXT2/3 to "0" correct?

what about the swap file, what should that be set to?
[Nexus One Android Development] lswon:
After updating to the latest test release ,test-3, my wallpapers are screwy. I am only able to choose the grid wallpaper and the rest are black. Live Wall Papers work fine. Any idea what could be causing this?
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
If you don't plan on using Apps2SD then don't partition it at all. Just leave it alone.

Not on my Nexus running t3!!!
[Nexus One Android Development] distortedloop:
Didn't cyanogen remove this from his roms because it drains the battery? Something to do with it had to keep waking up the phone to change colors.
[Nexus One Android Development] distortedloop:
Are you using the stock (cyanogen's mod of it) camera?

I was going to post that I thought the pink dot is still there, but not as bad as before, but then it hit me I'm using the Desire camera, and any cyanogen changes might be to the actual camera apk and only his camera would reflect the fix.

I may have to flash the rom again without the Desire camera hack to test this further.

edit: Also, the pink blur (more like streaking in today's test pics) is much more evident on the Nexus One itself than on the pictures I've uploaded to my picassa account and viewed on my laptop. Another note is that some off-white, but still definitely white to my eyeballs, concrete pillars I took shots of are medium dark gray in the pictures. This is in bright sunlight with auto-balance.
[Nexus One Android Development] stshannon:
Is it possible to get the stock CM camera to employ the "touch to focus" and/or face recognition features of the desire camera?

Sometimes it is terribly inconvenient to have the focus and white balance based off of solely the center of the screen. Sometimes i would like, the focus point and white balance point to be off center, either on a face, or something in the scenery I'm trying to capture, but off center.

Thank you in advance Cyanogen.... you do some amazing work.
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
+1 that would be a great addition.
[Nexus One Android Development] Andrewtst:
I am not complaining or blaming. I just telling what I seen and notice, and I figure out it get lag when you use big (expecially with weather) 3rd party widgets. They is no lagging if using official preloaded one.

The point out may help the developer notice about it and possibility easy to find the root to solved it.

You ask people post video that said the launcher is slow, why don't you post a video showing that yours one is smooth. (added in the beautiful widgets 1st and full 7 pages of widgets, or at least 5 full page).

I am not the only person notice it lagging issue. What wrong mention out? mention out not means the person are blaming or complaining.
[Nexus One Android Development] Ce:
Yes, I'm using the "stock" custom Test3 rom, no other modifications.
[Nexus One Android Development] dictionary:
That was the succession one. The one people are talking about now is the one posted a page or so back. It started off as if two alerts came in, that it would combine the two colors, and give you the combined color. So you'd know that you got an email say, and a text message. Everyone in the thread wanted it to be in succession instead, since they couldn't figure out what colors made what, lol. That's how the succession was born from I believe metalhead.

@Everyone with the lagging. What we are saying is to stop mentioning it and show it, because the same thing being said over and over, without how it lags, is pointless. If you're saying that the launcher is lagging, the burden of proof lies on you, not on us. That being said, I'm WELL sure that Cy knows about this issue, so it really need not be stated any more.

5.0.6-Test3 Data + Cell

I was on a conference call and wanted to do something on the Internet. I had HSDPA connection with 4 bars before the call started. No data connections worked.

I thought the data and cell worked at the same time???

Nexus One

CM 5.0.6-N1-test3

EPE54B
[Nexus One Android Development] distortedloop:
They're supposed to as long as you're not on EDGE.

Works fine (just tested) here for me with the same (test 3 2ith 54b).
[Nexus One Android Development] Prof. Yaffle:
I seem to have a problem with the CM 5.0.6 test versions. I connect by bluetooth to my car stereo (a Kenwood DDX8024BT). For some reason the audio seems really distorted in call even with the call volume on minimum. It's only started on the 5.0.6 tests so I guess it's related to the volume hack.

Re: [ROM] CyanogenMod-5: Kang Central Station (STABLE) [03/23/2010 / 5.0.5.3]

I have had that problem ever since I switched over from Modaco, and that was before 5.0.6
[Nexus One Android Development] j.bruha:
Just had a thought, don't know if it's been tried or posted about yet.

The new app launcher is a different version, whether you choose the 4 or 5 columns, as evidenced by the amount of apps that are shown bending around the bottom of the virtual curve at the bottom of the screen.

Being the clever, newb hacker that I am, I thought it might be a good idea to extract launcher2.apk from CM 5.0.5.3 and push it to /system/app/ to get the smooth launcher back. Unfortunately, it just caused my N1 to loop FC's when I rebooted it.

Does a hacker more clever than myself have any ideas on how I might get such a thing to work? Is it even a possibility?
[Nexus One Android Development] leonnib4:

Tried out Test3 for a day. Had no problems with wifi, camera, gps. Like what others said, theres still lag on L2. I had no problems until 15 mins ago I had a reboot when I went into gallery. First crash!

-Rotation seems to be smoother than test2

-desire black bar with pulldown works with T3

theres some code that changed somewhere else in the OS between 5.0.5 and 5.0.6, making the 2 versions incompatible.

Whats wrong with the new launcher?

Helix Launcher 2 FC loop on the new one :( Going to nandroid and uninstall that bad boy and reinstall .6
[Nexus One Android Development] h2opoloplyr_11:
thank you so much for the update cyanogen! Will do and update soon.

Question though, which way should i go:

download, wipe n1, install 506 using pc?

or

use the cm updater?

whats the difference between the two? or pretty much the same?
[Nexus One Android Development] ghostrida:
if this is your first CM install, wipe. read the OP.
[Nexus One Android Development] Deathwish238:
Pretty much the same.

I'm on 5.0.6-test3...going to update now.

Edit: Oh, yeah if you haven't flashed CM before you should read the first post. You should always read the first post of a ROM if you haven't before.
[Nexus One Android Development] cyanogen:
Make sure you have the new Helix2 from ruqqq. Same thing goes for the Nexusmod LWP from Chris. There's some API breakage in Renderscript (still a private API).

We also know the launcher appdrawer fade-in isn't quite as smooth as 5.0.5 and it's being looked into.
[Nexus One Android Development] Beast84:
@cyanogen

Everytime there is an update, I open it up, remove the ringtones & replace them with my own ringtones... In this update, the update fails & gives an error about the ringtones. Why does 5.0.6 check the ringtones now? Can this check be removed?

Edit: Seems to only check for /system/media/audio/ringtones/RomancingTheTone.ogg
[Nexus One Android Development] h2opoloplyr_11:
thanks guys! i have 5053 on mine right now, i just didnt know if i should do the same steps i did from root stock to 5053 or if i should just go cm updater and let it do its thing?

or wiping will be a better route since it clears everything up?
[Nexus One Android Development] speedogg410:

If your coming from 5.0.5.3 do a Nandroid backup first!! then install the ROM. Very simple process.

Working great so far! Speed speed and more speed! Waiting for all the mods and themes to update.

This is my first update to CM on my Nexus so please bear with this noob question.

I rooted and installed 5.0.3. I downloaded 5.0.6 from the Updated program. Now, I rebooted into recovery and did a backup. Do I wipe now, reboot, and install via CM Updater (kind of makes no sense to wipe and then install via the updater, to me, but I don't really understand what 'wipe' wipes)? Or do I just reboot and install?

Thanks!
[Nexus One Android Development] darkstar38:
Thanks for all you do for us Cyan!

Problem on 506. Gmail won't send pictures from gallery and also won't send apks from the SD card. It just stays in the outbox with the red "sending" letters
[Nexus One Android Development] djdarkknight96:
No need to wipe just flash and go! NANDROID FIRST anyway! All your settings should still be there! If you ever wipe then install, you will have to setup all your settings again like a master reset on a normal phone!

Hey guys, I just installed 5.0.6 and noticed some of the sounds have disappeared. I went to cyanogenmod audio & resources page to download them but I'm still missing a few, one of which I used to use but I've forgotten what the name was. Does anyone have all of the sounds available as of 5.0.5.3 ?
[Nexus One Android Development] h2opoloplyr_11:
Just finished installing it.

This is what i did (i just did this to do it):

Nandroid backup

Wipe data/cache

install 506 zip

Reboot phone.

Everything is setup and ready to go!

Issues for me that has been fixed:

Email app works over wifi!

MMS now resizes on its own (from full camera setting file down to a 70kb file) and no problem sending MMS. No more need to use picsay! ;)

with 5053, using ATK, memory is at 250MB now with 506 same apps killed, at 280 :)

And i like the black theme for the sms app. pretty slick! and easy on the eyes :)

So far this has been a perfect rom for me! everything that i loved about 5053, with the problems i had fixed (or no need to push files to fix things).

Thanks again cyanogen! This release has exceeded my expectations yet again. 5053 was awesome for me, and this time around, top notch file from you again!!! AWesome job man!

If only this launcher had shortcuts vs buttons/dots on the bottom (or at least the option to have them)... would make the need for helixlauncher obsolete.

[Nexus One Android Development] cyanogen:
The audio resource pack I have linked in the 4.2 thread is different.. It includes a whole bunch of audio files from HTC roms and other places. What's included in 5.0.6 is just what is in AOSP- the stuff shipped on the Nexus and G1.

[Nexus One Android Development] stshannon:
I like others, don't have a problem with the CM launcher lagging. Don't know what the difference is between me and those that do... but i really don't see a lag issue with the CM Launcher (5.0.6).

Maybe I'm not as picky/observant as others?
[Nexus One Android Development] 3bs:
Using the 4 column launcher and it's blazing fast for me. In fact, the whole ROM is ridiculously fast.
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
This is taken verbatim from Cyanogen a few pages ago: We also know the launcher appdrawer fade-in isn't quite as smooth as 5.0.5 and it's being looked into.
[Nexus One Android Development] jblazea50:
yeah, i'm not having problem with launcher; it is very fast (for both 4 and 5 column)
[Nexus One Android Development] onehoon:
I upgaraded... with no problem..

after that I run "bmgr transport com.google.android.backup/.BackupTransportService"

Thanks Cyanogen ~~

I ran it twice and it worked..

Thx..
[Nexus One Android Development] stshannon:
Okay, i know Cyanogen is probably out of his mind right now with bugs and requests... but i have to say:

THANK YOU

With the few bugs/glitches it does have, i wouldn't give it up for stock ANY DAY! Keep up the GREAT work Cyanogen.

That said i installed CM 5.0.6 via:

Wipe

Wipe Cache

Wipe Davlik

Flash CM 5.0.6

Flash n1gapps

HelixLauncher2 does not work (as of yet, as expected) and Desire Camera does not work (as of yet, as expected). Those are the only other two mods i use.

HOWEVER IF I MAY REQUEST CYANOGEN:

The only thing you need to add to your mod, to make it WHOLE:

Launcher:

7 Screens vs 5, and shortcut's on bottom vs buttons (ala HelixLauncher)

Camera:

Tap to Focus/White Balance, and Face Recognition to Focus/White Balance (ala Desire Camera Mod)

If you made those FEW customizations to your rom, it would IMHO be WHOLE, and i see no need to further mod ontop of your rom!

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK CYANOGEN!!!! Even with these quirks, and few things i miss form other mods, i still wouldn't have it any other way.

EDIT: WiFi and gMail (including push over WiFi) are working for me, with CM 5.0.6 installed as described above.
[Nexus One Android Development] driftmon:
Yup, I didn't mention it before but thanks Cyanogen! :)

Camera Pink dot (blur) not fixed

Just flashed 5.0.6-N1 and tested the camera. Pink blur just as bad as ever for me. You can even see it on the screen before taking the picture, not just in the pictures themselves.

Easy to reproduce. Take a picture of a white paper towel in bright light. 50% of the image will have a circular pink blur/dot/circle in the center.

I wonder if this really can be fixed with software.
