[G1 Android Development] skrki:
If you aren't using swap on CM5 Eclair, using a task manager actually works against you. This has been said by Cyanogen and many others as well. It is true, too.. it only takes away the little memory your apps have to run properly.

BTW, the numbers they show are innacurate (proven to ME by ME, but take it or leave it). The only "relevant" free memory is the one shown by "#free". Alternately, you can "#cat /proc/meminfo" for some more detail.

Eh.. another detail.. just spreading the known... Free memory is wasted memory in Android (Linux general), so what your task managers tell you doesn't really matter. I suppose they display the available memory for foreground tasks, taking into consideration, that memory has to be taken away from the processes in the background (why you see Killing/Dieing in your log).
[G1 Android Development] zim2dive:
Its bouncing around.. seeming to update every few seconds.. so unless it has a FIFO of stats that stretches back hours ;) it must just be wrong.

So the options are to

- enable swap

- enable compcache

I currently have neither enabled. I know there has been much (mostly negative) talk of swap.. what of compcache?

EDIT: @skrki understood about "free" mem not necc being desired, I guess the question is how much mem is available for app usage, before they start getting killed. I've launched very little. After a reboot (no CC, no swap), "free" reports 4068 before I've ever launched anything. Enabled CC and rebooted, free shows 5948 mem, 3892 swap.

I never checked with CM4 to know how much mem is needed before apps aren't frequently killed.

EDIT2: looking at running processes, what is Bluetooth Share (11.4MB memory), and why do I want it running when BT isn't even enabled?

EDIT3: "clock" is 11.61M.. for a clock? (I don't have a clock on my homescreen).. ah but it is on the lockscreen.

[G1 Android Development] paul4762:
So I'm having 2 issues at the moment any help would be great!

running CM 5.0.8 test4 on mytouch 3g

1. If I plug the phone into the charger and then try to plug it into the computer. It doesn't show up to "mount". So I would have to restart the phone every time.

2. In the notification bar, e-mail and everything are not colored notifications. They are all black and white. Same thing if I go into "settings"

Hey, a doubt.

I bought a new sd card . I need to change my old Sd Card to this new one.

A Nandroid backup solve my problem or I need to wipe all my data and start my phone from scratch ? :)

Thanks,
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
if they are the same size, you could copy everything from your old sdcard to the new one (format new one first same way you had old one formatted)

worth a try

[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
New SDCARD

switching cards is pretty easy .. especially if you have a linux OS or liveCD from which to run .. i am developing a script that may help things like this (work in progress)

right now all my script does is archive /data/data

# lucid -archive

this stores on the sdcard .. then it can be retrieved later .. thus within recovery you should be able to archive, format, restore and not lose anything at all .. still writing this up and working it all out
[G1 Android Development] Tom in AZ:
I am curious, how much ram free do you guys have after installing this rom? It is working pretty good for me all around, but I am getting kicked out of Skyfire which I am guessing is the way that the system is handling being out of ram.

this ROM has been running great for me. But question, before on the cyanogen 5.0.7 stable I had the swipe to answer the phone and touch pad for everything else viewable. I installed 5.0.8 and I have the old one again!!! the one you have to press menu to do everything. Anyone know how to get the cool one back?

The fat32 partition is very easy because a ctrl+v ctrl+c solve my problem.

My doubt is how to backup the data of the ext partition.

I have an issue with google talk since 5.07. Dialogs don't display in conversation order but groupped. All my sentences are grouped separately, the same as the partne'rs chat.

Well, I don't think it is clear, so let me explain it with an example.

A conversation as should be:

Me: hello

Him: hi

Me: how are you?

Him: fine

Me: can we meet?

Him: yes

... looks like this:

Him: hi

Him: fine

Him: yes

Nope. Did you wipe? Repartition? Can we have some more information about your setup please.

if you have RA.1.7 use switchrom -s (name) in recovery terminal itll save the ext partition. after you set up your new sd put it in your fone go to recovery terminal switchrom -r to restore everything then reboot no need to wipe or anything fone will/should b exactly how it was. make sure to transfer the switchrom folder from your old sd to the new one
[G1 Android Development] HighRidas:
(double post)
[G1 Android Development] foxtrickle:
It's not in the instructions, but I think it's needed also if you really want to start fresh. Clearly there is some speed issue with your setup and CM is exacerbating it. If you wiped, but that didn't solve the problem it has to be somewhere else, right?

Are you using apps2sd? I assume your SD is class 6? Did you clear your caches? Have you tried fix_permissions?

Which version of CM are you using? Is it 5.0.8 T3, T4, or something else?
[G1 Android Development] eebmob:
did you wipe all five, i would do it like five times, did you partition, yes no , need more info on your setup, i have a black mt3g, 4gb, no partition, original spl, and this thing is smooth like a babies butt, and did i say F*&^%*&G quick.!!!!!

I have CM 5.0.7 rom for G1. My phone is getting stuck at t-mobile g1 logo. I wasn't doing anything risky like flashing radio, I just used typefresh to change one of the fonts(I have done this a thousand times before). It asked me to reboot and got stuck at t-mobile logo.

I can get to the bootloader, but don't have any idea how to proceed. Can someone point me to the right direction?
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:

i would wipe, re-flash from recovery, then flash the gapps addon zip, THEN reboot

generally speaking, turn phone off completely, then hold down home and end call button at same time, keep holding until phone turns on, wait, then when your recovery options screen shows up, hit flash zip from recovery (or the like), then choose the cm zip...it is on your root of your sdcard, right?

Try the other radio, let us know if it still exist (had this also on a build for kaiser).

[G1 Android Development] feronovak:
I have a same problem with this ROM as with Super E version.

Basically when I go to contacts, choose contact and then just press green call button to make call with default number it forces close with process android.process.acore

It is clean installatian, wiped data, wiped cache, wiped dalvik. Seems like problem with either Eclair or kernel or something? The only thing installed was Gapps.

[G1 Android Development] mrfust81:
Couple of things...

I'm using CM 5.08 test 2 on my G1. Everything is running fine apart from 2 things I have noticed since upgrading to Cm 5.07.

Firstly, perhaps once a day I have to reboot my phone because I'll make a call and I can't hear the other person. I'm not aware of issues with incoming calls. A reboot solves this.

The second thing is that the Market constantly reloads, making it impossible to install updates because the page refreshes before I can click all of the confirmation buttons! I know that this has vaguely been mentioned before, but I've cleared Market/Updater cache etc and a reboot doesn't solve this.

Can anyone advise me on either of these issues?
[G1 Android Development] feronovak:
I can confirm it does this on both ROMs, both wiped (options 1,2,3 wiped), then installed Cyanogenmods or SuperE and both working well and fast except exception.

Both have problems with using contacts. If i choose favourite contact or contact from contacts list and then open contact and then call green hw button on both roms it forces close. I can only make call if I press call number on screen or if I retry last call from call log.

Anyone any idea what could be wrong? Please tell me when what you need to see (logcat, radio, fw) to sort this issue.

Thanks

Call log CM 5.07+

The new call log isn't very user-friendly. I preferred the old one where a contact's name would show in the list and you'd click their name to see a list of their numbers. The new version lists numbers individually for each contact, so to call a recent contact on their mobile instead of their work number when you've mainly called their work number recently, means to scroll all the way through the list or dial from contacts.
[G1 Android Development] mrfust81:
Call log CM 5.07+

Ok, I did a PROPER search this time and have reverted back to the old Contacts/Call Log. Downloaded the original app from HERE extracted Contacts.apk and put it on my SD card.

Then in Terminal I did:

1. su

2. mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

3. rm /system/app/Contacts.apk

4. cat /sdcard/Contacts.apk > /system/app/Contacts.apk

I know this is probably obvious for for those who are technically minded but I figured I'd put it here anyway for those who don't like the new call log!

EDIT: I downloaded update.zip from http://www.androidspin.com/downloads...ate_signed.zip (as per original post HERE. I then unzipped the file, found Contacts.apk and installed it via Terminal using the above commands.

I am currently using CM 5.08 test 2 on my G1 and the 'old' contact/dialer app is working perfectly. I much prefer this to the 'new' version.

[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
I helped myself ... the solution can be found in this thread. I found out, that some of the configuration items of the vending_preferences.xml were not existing. This was the reason, that only free apps were shown and that there were many timeout exceptions which slowed down the market application.
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
Actually, I am not experiencing this issue. I don't use the call button when viewing a contact, but tested after reading your post. Additionally, since I know this version behaves a bit differently, good or bad, I tested under what I consider a heavy load for this ROM. I opened maps, then navigation, messaging, started a text, clicked home, contacts, selected a contact, then hit the call button. I tried this with contacts with a single number and multiple numbers. I can't get it to crash. No swap. No Ext. Launcher is locked and I am trying compcache (because I've never used it before.) 5.0.8 Test 4. I hope this helps.

battery drain/charging issues

i've been meaning to mention this for awhile, but forgot till now

when i was working on my friend's G1 last month, who was always complaining about battery drain/charging issues, i had to pull his battery.

when i did, i noticed it was puffed up in the middle (it should be perfectly flat on both sides) definitely damaged after lots of use since he got the phone when they first came out and it was the original battery.

popped in a new one, and no such problems anymore

i would suggest that anyone with a G1 with battery drain/charging issues, who has had the same battery since buying the phone last year, check that out...never know, might be something simple like that

edit: obviously, this is not limited to G1s
[G1 Android Development] zim2dive:
yeah, but its a lot easier to blame the ROM :)
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:

[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
Contacts update

What a great post. This is an issue that has bothered me since trying the CM5 D/S versions. I read Wysie's post, but I wasn't really sure if the latest version would just mirror the existing functionality or allow grouped callers in log, so I will try this.

I know there is an existing "issue" tracker for this group call log enhancement request, that CM incorporates some fine work from someone else for contacts (Thanks Wysie,) and there is a Market app available to us to group the callers in the call log. Maybe it is a problem to code this feature into the latest versions of Android, or perhaps there are other priorities, but it just seems something of a step backwards to require an app for a default behavior feature in the Donut version.

Looks like I'll be flashing back to Donut which worked fine. If any one comes up with a solution to:
