Does anyone want to post the newest GAPPS zip? The one for the 6.1 RC...The link on the team duoche site is not working. Thanks!

i don't know if this is just me, but my phone refuses to recognize the music and pictures on my phone. the music and gallery apps always no (as in zero) media available, but if i use a file manager and navigate to their respective places and select them... it will play the music/show the picture but exiting out and reopening gallery/music still shows nothing >:[

i've tried it with various media apps too and they all do the same :/

any advice guys? i'm running cm 6.1 rc1, but i've noticed this problem has been occurring to me on almost all of the recent nightlies

calendar

is anyone else having problems with the calendar?

events are showing up as empty boxes on my exchange account. but every other calendar shows up fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
Thanks! Sorry...I wasn't sure if there was a newer version that was necessary because of changes in the system framework of the cyanogen build. It just shows my ignorance. Thanks again!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
There's your problem right there get rid of autokiller it is the batter killer more like, you don't need it with 2.2 it doesn't even do anything dude. In all my test I have found autokiller to be the culprit. It stopped working at 2.1 devs aren't allowed to close processes in 2.2 the kernel closes apps when it feels they need to be closed. Once again task killers and auto killer will just drain your battery you might think they're doing something but there not lol. The processes just open right back up plus AK just heats your phone up. If u want to kill a process just go to settings>applications>running services. Try the uncapped latest kernel cfs and put set CPU on 710 Max and 691 min or if ur phone can handle 768 Max and 748 min like mine my phone flies and my batt last more than 24 hours.

"They see me trollin' they hatin" lol

Holy crap! Flashed my first nightly(unofficial 103) and I can actually download message attachments now!

Sent from my(soon to be obsolete)hero
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BlaqkAudio:
This is false. Autokiller doesn't run in the background and it doesn't kill tasks, so there's no way of it causing your phone to heat up. All it does is tweak the parameters of Android's memory manager.

The more likely culprit is that battery calibration needs to be done.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwrmedia:
Run your ROM/kernel of choice as is, w/ no ATK's, and if you MUST have an app that allows you to one-click close them, I'd suggest one like Fast Reboot Pro, in which you can manually control what and when you need processes to function.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brokentoaster24:
oh crap.. here comes the autokiller/ atk debate...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] liquidtenmillion:
That's not true at all. Applications could NEVER kill other applications, unless they acquire root permissions first. That is still the case. Any app with root priviledges can still kill apps, including autokiller and advanced task killer.

Besides, all that autokiller does is modify the values at which the kernel kills off processes.

Autokiller is not like advanced task killer. By default, the KERNEL kills processes when you go below a certain amount of free ram(24mb or so on CM6). What autokiller does is it allows you to modify that value to whatever you want, say 40mb. The processes are still killed by the kernel.

Oh yes, also autokiller does not run in the background. It modifies that value and then quits running. It can't kill your battery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] d12d:
I haven't had any problems with the calendar or gallery like a few other people have had. However I am having a problem with the email widget. My email is working fine however whenever I try to add the widget I am receiving an error of problem loading widget. Anyone getting this? Anyone know of a fix?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tungst5n:
Second the motion on the thanks for posting
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brandito:
not for me, at least not without rolling it a bit first. i'm still hoping they add back a noise for when the picture is actually taken.

they changed the amount of time you have to hold the back button to kill the front task again leading me to closing tasks accidentally. the 5 second delay was PERFECT. now i have to disable the feature again so i don't close adw ll the time on accident, or any other app for that matter.

the gallery is much improved. pictures load fast, rotate works blazing fast, to the point where i don't dread rotating my phone anymore, especially for my picasa online albums.

edit: also has anyone had their long press for the search button default action changed? it's supposed to create a new sms message now, mine still voice searches. i'm happier it voice searches, much more useful for me, it's rare that i'd need to sms someone i don't already have a thread started with. and voice search can start one for me faster i'd say anyways.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BlaqkAudio:
You have a choice. I didn't select a default at first, so when I long press search, it asked me to choose between Voice Search and Messaging. If you want to switch, go to Applications > Voice Search > Clear defaults, and then long press search.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fifedogg:
Have you tried going into dev tools app thats included and select media scanner. Not sure if that will work but worth a try I guess.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tungst5n:
In trying to follow this debate, I'm curious whether this apples to Advanced Task Killer as well??? Should I try removing that to see if there's any improvement in my battery life???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Osirus71:
New RC 6.1

So, can i just install over the current nightly(102.5)? Or do I have to wipe data factory reset>wipe cash>wipe davlik cash>then flash??? Also, once i do flash this new RC 6.1. can i flash nightlys over it as stated above??? Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brandito:
now that you mention it i remember doing that a while back, must have made it into the last nightly i used, 99 i think?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brokentoaster24:
Thanks for tip, but no good still :/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brandito:
yes stop using task killers. well more importantly stop having them auto kill processes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Stramondroid:
Yes you can.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
You can flash right over your old nightlies with the new 6.1...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Osirus71:
Word......thanks for everyones help. On a side note, is there any other way to stop the fracking 9016 text message from comming in everytime i get a voice mail becides using handcent. Dont like handcent, i thinks its bloated and takes up too much resources. I know, I know, use Google Voice, but I LIKE VVM. I like that I can see the messages I want to hear and in which order.:D Thanks for the help again!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aoaleman:
I have Super Private Conversation. It's in the Market, it's free. It seems to work fine. It will blacklist "9016".
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
Thats cool i understand your argument, but it still stands no task killer you download from the market will kill task in 2.2 if there is one please let me know, and i based on test that ive done MYSELF,using task killers my batter would drain, i know the functions of autokiller and im aware that it modifies the values but my point is that android os 2.2 is smart enough to keep your phone snappy with out autokiller. autokiller will help between long reboots but on once again i dont think its necessary with 2.2.1 along with decas kernel, ur right auto killer doesn't run in background but i feel like when i have the settings on the high and go in to use it really drains my battery. when using autokiller and i set the values to high i find that my phone cant multi-task much on 2.2 causing my launcher to have to start up every time i hit the home button which is laggy and annoying, then when set to low values theres not enough free mem for kernel to file cache. task killers for sure kill battery and im my opinion autokiller may fine tune the inner manager but i dont feel that its necessary rather you use it or not thats cool i could be wrong or right whatever i just had bad exp with it and i feel like i dont need it point blank, autokiller is a cruch lol take it how you want some people say you need it some say you dont we all have opinions idk
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
The key to Autokiller is to not set it too high obviously, so you CAN multi-task. It works with 2.2.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gobogblue:
Is anyone else having major problems with the market?

I cannot download anything, it just sits at "starting download" and occassionaly says "download paused" and then switches back to starting download but dosent actully download.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
my point exactly if you're not setting it to high then why use it lol, thanks for proving my point. Still stands you dont need it. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Because it runs snappier for me when using it? YMMV, maybe I don't "NEED" it, but I personally can tell the difference.Snappier, doesn't kill my battery, and still have available free memory to quickly load other apps; not really proving your point at all. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wjason:
This happens to me occasionally. Sometimes if I sign into gtalk succesfully, cancel and restart the install it downloads. On occasion it will hang at the gtalk sign in screen at which point I just have to wait it out.

good luck.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 151jcolon:
yep... my market is crazy as well.... grrrrrrr. fc's city for me
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brandito:
just curious, what does gtalk have to do with it? i've seen this mentioned before and i personally don't use gtalk on my phone so i'm not really aware of the correlation.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
I guess dude. No point in beating a dead horse this has always been an argument. I respect your point thanks for the responses its always cool to hear both sides. But I will die saying you don't need it :-)

"They see me trollin' they hatin" lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gobogblue:
Does anyone know of anyway to fix it. I remember there was someone who was having this problem before and posted a fix, I just cannot find it now
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brandito:
oh forgot to mention, my market is having trouble too, seems pretty wide spread, i'd wait it out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stoy75:
Is anyone else's battery draining like crazy. 35% in about 2 hours here.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
No. What kernel are you using? SetCPU, battery tweak, neither? If either of those two, what settings? Do you have stuff set to sync/poll a lot? Lot of factors here.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wjason:
I don't know the exact connection but I have heard on several occasions that they are somehow linked. Here is what I found after a quick google search:

http://androinica.com/2010/03/01/tips-android-phone-wont-download-apps-log-in-to-google-talk/

Not sure how viable the source is but I just wanted to show that others agree.;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 151jcolon:
the market problem is not the rom. i think

edit. sense , cm6.1 same market issue
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gobogblue:
Without a doubt. My battery died in about 4 hours today.

The only thing I have running is Active Sync for exchange
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stoy75:
I am using the stock kernel. Cyano 6.1 RC1 Battery tweak set at 710, email polling once an hour and thats the only poll. I was running 103 yesterday and battery life was about 16 hours with more usage than I have on the phone today. I hit 65% after about 7-8 hours and I hit it today after about 4.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zeropants:
I was dropping pretty quickly at first, but after being on and off the charger a few times and 2 restarts for other reasons it's seems to be draining normally. Wait it out a bit. I had problems getting programs from the market to actually download at first as well, but that for some reason has been fine the last several attempts.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gobogblue:
I think so as well. I just read some of the comments from the google maps update and people are screaming about not being able to download it.

It might be a google prob
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stoy75:
I thought I was having the same issue with the market but I found that simply closing the market would make my apps install. I would close it when it said starting download, I would close the market, bam 10 seconds or less later it popped up as downloading in the notification bar.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gobogblue:
Does it actually DL or does it just sit at "starting"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stoy75:
As I type that reply I was prompted to update good maps and it went to downloading and did nothing. Tried my little trick and it didn't work. Go back to market and it shows downloading with no porgress and the download disappeared out of my notifications bar.

Edit: Disregard entirely. After checking all my updates from today all it did was uninstall the apps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] FrankAmato:
CM 6.1.0 RC1 out now!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
And just to confirm this everyone or alot of people are having issues with the market its not the rom even people with 2.2 sense are having issues and others its a Google thing I hear they're fixing it is what I saw on twitter from others

"They see me trollin' they hatin" lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] liquidtenmillion:
Does anyone else notice that after upgrading to 6.1 that the window transition animations have changed to sliding instead of the old fading?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zeropants:
It was sitting at starting for me. Only certain programs were doing it.

Sometimes I had to switch wifi on/off, or close out of the Market, or cancel and then restart downloads to actually get them to go.

For some reason I haven't had to do that on the last several I tried. Although, they do seam to stall for 5-10 seconds before going but that's not a big deal.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Market is confirmed to have several issues, being worked on by google. It's not the rom :D

[Hero CDMA Android Development] fifedogg:
I just dont think your correct in these statements IMO. I have my Autokiller settings on aggresive and I have never had a single problem. I also use a taskiller (ATK) but only when I first start up the phone or have a bunch of stuff running. It doesnt do anything negative to my battery life. Plus with the autokiller settings those closed appz almost never show back up leaving me with 70+ MB of memory at ALL times (usually around 82 mb). As long as you dont keep the task killer open how would it use up battery life especially when the appz you had open previously are now closed and not coming back. On the certain appz that are always open like voicemail, messaging, handcent, DialerOne, OC widget etc. You just ignore them so they wont be closed just to re-open again.

If you don't close out things like the browser, camera, facebook, maket, email, Angry Birds, Sky maps etc those are most def gonna be a battery drain and possibly slow down your phone.

I agree if you were using an auto taskiller or opening it all the time to close appz that it would drain your battery but I believe you will get more battery life using the method I use because if not using my phone that much I can get almost 2 full days worth of life (36-40 hours) as long as I'm in a place with full service. I also get a full days use pretty much no matter what I do and this is with settings 768/652 and no battery mod just OC widget.

If you dont think the OS needs tasks killed to be faster, do a benchmark with everything open and then use a taskiller to close all those appz and run it again. Tell me it doesnt speed up your phone in every category. :D

Just my 2 pennies ;)

6.0.1 RC1 - phone lockup

I flashed the new 6.0.1 RC1 this morning. Have had the phone freeze twice now while listening to play lists with the media player. Both times it was about 2 hours into listening. Music quits, screen is black, and all hardware buttons are non-responsive.

If this isn't the place to report this, please let me know where...Thanks.

Are you using a custom kernel?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ChrisHebert:
Does anyone know which one of these has a stable camera and if any of them have the ability to send long mms? If I go longer than 1 mms and try and send, it never works. I'm on cm6.0.0 right now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Try the new CM6.1.0
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dwwright:
Pretty new to this, but don't think so. How do I check?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
You'd know ;) I'd try flashing one of Decad3nce's
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dwwright:
So I guess I haven't put a custom kernel on it. What's the benefit of the custom kernel besides over-clocking? Wouldn't it just cause the crash I having happen faster? ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
Its in your mind dude no task killers in the market work on 2.2 bro do some research Google done away with that it was left behind in 1.5 1.6 2.0 and 2.1. All third party apps will do is attempt to shut it down but the process opens right back instantly. All your task killer is doing is getting I'm the way of how android handles memory management man. You find a task killer that works then let me know. Its placebo effect its all in your head dude and my phone is blazing fast no autokiller no task killer battery life 24 hours + just decas kernel and batt tweak

"They see me trollin' they hatin" lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Not if you flash the capped 691, which is a stable for all OC :)

Does anyone know if these kernels work with CM6.1? I see CM6.1 was release after Dec's latest #15 kernel (10/28 CM vs 10/27 CFS/BFS).

I believe I read in a past post that one of the new things with 6.1 was a new kernel. Just wanted to make sure I didn't wipe out any improvements in CM if I start using CFS #15.

Thanks in advance!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] dkratter14:
While this same old debate on task killers is soooo very exciting ;) you might want to look at Autostarts, which lets you tweak what applications run in the first place. You can configure what happens after boot, after an application install, etc. It's a very handy app. And you'll probably be pretty surprised to see what applications do run in the most inappropriate situations (like Slacker Radio running every time an application is uninstalled).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
They do, I'm using it and it's blazing fast with my theme :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
why is everyone missing the point, the point is you dont need none of that sh!t dude, all that whack junk just eats battery. if android opens something it knows whats its doing. maybe if you fools stop watching porn while downloading the new cm nightlies ur phone wont lag as much ahahahahah

[Hero CDMA Android Development] dkratter14:
Autostarts doesn't run in the background and eat battery. You run it, make your configuration changes, and exit. There's no background monitoring process, it modifies files.

As for Android "knowing what it is doing", that's only half accurate. If an application tells Android that it is supposed to run every time the OS boots up, then Android will run it blindly on boot, because that's what it is supposed to do. With something like Autostarts, you're removing that unnecessary application startup.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
No problem :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
ok cool well i wont knock the autostart until i try it i like to see from all angles, can you recommend one for me to try? then ill judge it :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dkratter14:
Well look at the "Applicaton installed" section. On mine, it had all of the following that ran every time an application gets installed:

Market

Voice Dialer

Google Voice

Titanium Backup

Superuser

Slacker

Pico TTS

For the life of me, I can't figure out why most of that is set to run for application installs. I certainly never set that up. The application authors did that. Why would Slacker need to run in this situation? Why would Voice Dialer? So I disabled all of them except Market and Superuser.

I had Voice Dialer running for "Application changed" and "Application removed" too. Ridiculous.

The list under "After Startup" is pretty extensive too, and needed a cleanup.

I must have disabled 2-3 dozen applications throughout all the various sections of Autostarts.

Loving CM 6.1.0

Upgraded to the new version and loving it, everything is working that was working in 6.0.0. I still have a problem getting my MMS to work, but that's because i'm on the Regional carrier Cellcom in WI, I have been trying for a while to get it working now with no joy, is there a specific way to change an Eclair APN to a Froyo APN for the Apnsconf.xml file so I can make it work I've tried manually changing it about a million ways but i'm a noob so I'm probably doing something wrong. CM 6.1 was a great BDay present, yes today is my Bday(28OCT1977), but having MMS working would be the best Bday present.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
With all the auto killer and task killer conversations why don't we revisit an educational article on how android manages the memory levels.

I personally don't use task killers because, like someone said here, tasks can be killed but they'll restart right back in 2.2 froyo. However, memory levels adjusting programs such as MinFreeManager (love it) work just fine and will simply set a limit on how much ram is used at any moment. It's not a level you can just set such as easy, moderate or aggressive. Some things can be set higher while some can be set lower. It all depends on what apps you have and what kind of hardware you are running. See the article and make your own decision.

All in all, the CyanogenMod team sets it at a certain value and before changing it you should consider their knowledge against yours and really think about changing it ;)
