Yes, you can "wear out" your SD Card, but it will take a very very long time. Most likely, you'll have a new phone by then. Seriously. It's like saying that downloading lots of files and using your computer will "wear out" your hard drive. Yeah, it will...eventually.

And you can most certainly insert your card into a card reader on your laptop if you partition. Your laptop will just see the FAT32 partition and not the swap. Same as if you used the USB cable.
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
Good to know.

Tried this. My computer asks me to reformat my sd card. Not sure why this is, but I have to use my phone/usb to access my sd card from my computer.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Odd. Works on both my PC and my Mac. Linux, too, of course. Worse comes to worse, you can always set up a DropBox account and install the app. :D No cables!

Actually, the CyanogenMod stock setting is overclocked to 576MHz.

OEM 32A or 32B is @ 528MHz.

I stand corrected. The more important part is the low end for SetCPU, anyways.

The music player crashes when I use the web browser or text messaging. Does anyone know a fix for this?
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
The stock browser, even with swap, is atrociously slow. I use opera, which is super fast and lite, but it is a bit buggy as a default browser and has no pinch zoom. I've tried other browsers (dolphin, xscope, etc) and cannot find a dependable one. Does anyone know of a browser fix or a nice system-friendly one?

Thanks y'all
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
I use Dolphin, but NOT the "HD" one. That one is terrible. The normal one works great. Set the cache to be on the SD Card, though.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Lower the min still saves battery. I don't care what the Cy Forum lemmings say.

Yet, you link to the Cyanogen forum in your signature.

Your "64MB Swap/40 Swappiness" link takes you to the same author as my link takes you to... on the same forum, @ cyanogenmod.com

There is no need for name-calling. We are all here to help each other out. Some people need a different style of help than others. It is nice to have multiple resources for that help - XDA-Developers.com being one of those resources and CyanogenMod.com another.

[G1 Android Development] taryel:
For some weird reason receiving picture messages doesn't work for me on this rom. I was using cyanogenmod 5 and it worked perfectly there. But on this rom i cant receive them. Instead i get a message that asks me to download it. Then when i click on it nothing happens. Does anybody have any idea on how to fix this? Or should i switch roms?
[G1 Android Development] wuziq:
i think the stock 2.2 browser is pretty fast. i think ben put it in superF v1.0. i don't know whether it's got pinch zoom, though; i didn't try. but it felt a lot faster than the modded browser. at any rate, this begs the obvious question, which is, is it possible to obtain the stock 2.2 browser from somewhere and install it?

edit: yep, just grab the apk from superF, backup /system/app/Browser.apk, then uninstall it, then install the one from superF. and yes, there's pinch zoom.

edit: playing around with the browser a little more. can't say for sure whether it's much faster or not. sorry :/
[G1 Android Development] viande:
anybody on this one ? :)
[G1 Android Development] the00guy:
That's strange. Have you tried clearing the data for the messaging app?
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
if we're talking about mms, and you're not on the nightlies, try the new mms.apk, uninstall the old one and install the new one, they've made alot of improvements/bug fixes to it since rc release

below is the newest one from cm-dream-sapphire-#199-nightly

btw, since you dont have a sig, i have no idea what device you have
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
I didn't realize the browser in cm6 was modded. It does not perform well at all on my dream. I just read that opera is releasing an updated version of their browser in a month, with pinch zoom. Hopefully it'll improve on the minor bugs it currently has, because it is by far the fastest browser on the dream. Dolphin (non hd) sucks, stock sucks, xscope used to be ok, q browser is good but its in chinese )c:
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Actually I didn't either. I thought the browser itself was relatively stock. Is it not?
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Should have seen that coming. (Sigh) Yes, I link to Cyanogen forums...for files, not opinions. I also link to YouTube on Facebook sometimes, too, while at the same time find the majority of the "watch me rant about a celebrity like people actually care" videos to be quite annoying. Sometimes, you can find a diamond in a pile of poop. (It's usually because a dog ate someone's engagement ring or an earring, but the saying still applies).

I just find the majority of the Cy threads to be incredibly unhelpful. I respect -Steve-o- for his contribution to the swap script and as fellow Android enthusiast, but I simply do not agree with him on SetCPU. I use it, he doesn't. Good enough for me. The "lemmings" comment was not directed at him.

The "lemmings" comments, in general, was and is directed at a majority of what I have encountered on the Cy forums. I find the threads to contain mostly unhelpful opinions and/or just whining followed by agreeing with the whining; no veritable solution in sight. I find XDA to be far more helpful and informative. Hence, the "lemmings" comment. And I mean, c'mon. Honestly, man, what'd you expect from your "link response?" Flowers? It's just poking fun. Consider it rooting (pun intended?) for the "home team," if you want. :)

Loosely related, it's not that bad of a "name calling"; lemmings may follow the crowd naively, but lemmings are actually rather cute. :D It's looks like a hybrid hamster/chipmunk or something. Anyways...

I knew it was loosely modded in the past - pinch to zoom and what not - but I also didn't realize the current one was. Then again, I don't read the release notes too often anymore. :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
HA! ****ing hilarious.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Yup. Funnier still? Witnessed it. Seriously.

Dude...that...is...AWESOME. I mean, that's CM6.1's boot image right there. Either that or a dog crapping a diamond :D

Ah, this is why I love this forum...you guys rule.
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:

[G1 Android Development] ad505:

[G1 Android Development] havikx:
i would like to start by apologizing to any1 i may have offended on previous post. my_former_self especially.

upon going to tmo today, the guy called my battery being busted. the battery was the culprit of all the phatom reboots and camera fc's. the camera didnt have enough power to boot.

went to buy a new battery....

bought a new g2.

you all have inspired me to be a better member of these xda forums. i will start with signature.

thanks for your help. every1.

and word to the wise....its not the rom. its your phone. seriously.
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
You put a signature telling us to ask you about your phone... why not just put your phone IN your sig? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
It is definitely NOT the rom, its your phone, your setup and your own responsibility to research what you are getting yourself into before rooting and flashing roms. I think it helps that most of us have been flashing roms since the days of cm 4.0.4, and have learned/shared a lot about how to properly tweak settings to optimize performance. The android community is great. I hope it just continues to get better!
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
That is true. However, sometimes new settings are introduced which have never been seen before (such as VM, dithering, etc in CM6 performance settings), which can have a significant effect on the performance of your phone.
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
Like I said, if its not your phone, its your setup. Its all trial and error in this neck of the woods.
[G1 Android Development] setherd:
running CM 6 nightly

GPS isn't working. If I leave an app run that uses GPS like yelp or gps status my phone reboots.

anyone else?:(
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
You can learn by trial and error, or you can seek professional advice. In fact, sharing of information is what a forum is all about. Therefore, there's nothing wrong in asking a question to get input from other users.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Appreciated, bro. We were square pages ago, but still, very cool and appreciated.

G2? I'm jealous :D Have fun, man. I'm sure Cy will have a ROM out for it by the end of Q1 2011. He started work on the Vibrant pretty darn quick after its release as well as the Slide.

I'm not sure whether to hold out for the "new" MyTouch that TMO keeps e-mailing me about or to snag a G2. I gotta tell you, I do envy my wife's G1 for the physical keyboard, but the "new" MyTouch also has a front facing camera and a few extra features. But, I'll probably end up with the G2, like you, though; I REALLY miss having a real keyboard (I came from the old Palm Treo 700 to a Blackberry and then to Android, once upon a time). I'm the MT3G holder of the family and my wife has a DEATH GRIP on her G1! :D

Anyways, once again, thanks for the post (truly) and have fun with the new toy!

He did change it. That's what the above post is about.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Nope. Because we're all running the STABLE version...because we're in the STABLE thread.

Man, I feel like a parrot with this response I've said it so many times. :rolleyes: Go to the NIGHTLY thread, my friend; you'll find your answers there.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
I think you're misunderstanding ad's comment. I think he means that, when it really comes down to it, it is trial and error because no one person's setup is exactly the same as another's, in that sense. That comment still agrees with yours, TeeJay - that our threads here are for advice - because those of us who give the advice had to (you guessed it) get it through "trial and error." Hopefully that makes sense and reconciles the two thoughts there. I think it does, at least.

Anyways, one thing I'm sure of it that we are NOT "professionals"...because if we are, I want my paycheck?! :D
[G1 Android Development] almostthere:
Just an observation but after following your tweaks in your sig (except the FireAT script for App2SD), the issue of reboots when using GPS related apps have gone away. Possible out of memory? But thanks for supporting us Dream/MT3G users with your guidance

[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
At the time I posted that his sig said ONLY "ask me what phone I have."
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Ahhh. "I see," said the blind man as he picked up the hammer and saw. :D
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Guessing you're on a nightly, too? To answer your question, though, it could be that (low memory), but I'm not entirely sure. We certainly are at the point now with the OS that we're pushing the limits pretty firmly on our "legacy" hardware." The issue of low memory certainly could play a factor with GPS related apps. But, like I said before, I can't say for certain.

Glad my sig helped you. If you are using a nightly, feel free to pass the info along to that thread so they can benefit, too. If you aren't, just pass it to whomever needs it. That's what I aim for. :)
[G1 Android Development] almostthere:
Apparently nope. Using the current stable as per wiki'ed. Bad experience about nightly's not related to Android. But after persistent troubleshooting and giving some suggestions a shot (been using my Dream for 2 months) finally everything works fine and dandy. Even Angry Birds work nicely eventho I've got a gazillion or so apps installed.

I did pose the gps issue previously but after doing a proper reset, cache format, dalvik format and trying all the performance tweaks, the problem just went away. So my guess is that swap settings do play a part. In fact at time previously if the memory went too low (using ES Task Manager's widget to monitor) my Dream would just reboot for no reason.

Hope my feedback helps cos hey, I'm no expert on this :)
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Swap plays a huge part in CM6, at least in my opinion. It really does a lot to keep it running smoothly and helps a ton with multitasking, as well.
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
Lol, touche!
[G1 Android Development] NeoXerO:
Ok... Let me get this straight. If i want to install this on a g1 thats never been rooted i first root it and then install "danger spl" and then i download rom manager and flash the cm6 rom? Sorry, but im really new to this.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Rather than rehash the whole thing, just follow this guide. It is a great step by step and should get you through it. And you don't have to apologize for asking; it's what we're here for. We all were "really new to this" at one point, too!

I'd recommend reading the whole thing first, make sure you have a good "feel" for what you're going to do (and have all the files downloaded) and then go for it.

If you just take your time and go slow, follow the steps correctly and you will be perfectly fine. And rooted! :D

Once you're rooted, the guide has links to tell you how to install a custom ROM. Of course I recommend CM6, being that that's what I use and that's what thread we're in. Once you get it installed, follow my "speed tutorial" in my signature to get you up and running nicely.

Since you have a G1, I would highly recommend partitioning your SD Card with a FAT32 partition, a 256MB or 512MB EXT partition (depends on how app crazy you are) and at least a 64MB SWAP partition. Don't panic at that comment; you can worry about all that AFTER you root and after you've got CM6 installed. You can do it all from the recovery console (that you'll install when you root). It's super easy. Really. It's just a choice in the recovery menu. So, again, come back to that after you've got yourself rooted and flashed CM6. There's a bunch of links in my signature, too, to help you out. Just click on 'em and read.

P.S. - I am assuming you have a 32B G1. If you are on TMO USA, that's what you have and that tutorial link is the correct one. If you are on another network in another country, there are links at the top of that guide for your model.

If you REALLY want to be sure, power off your phone (long press the red Power Button/End Call button on your phone and select "Power Off" on the menu. Now hold down the Back button and (keeping holding the Back button) then press the red Power/End Call button to restart your phone. Once you see a white screen with three little Androids on skateboards, let go of the Back button. The first line is what you are looking at; DREAM PVT 32B. If you're 32B, you're good to go with that guide. If you're a 32A, just follow the link in the guide for 32A users. But take note of the other lines, too. HBOOT-X.XX.XXXX is your SPL and RADIO-X.XX.XX.XX is your radio, of course (where the X's are numbers). Once you're done taking a gander at the info, press the green Call button to restart the phone.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Argh! Ever since you posted that, I've been googling (or more appropriately, "oggling") the G2 and the new MyTouch every 5 seconds! They're both awesome, but why couldn't they just merge the two together? I mean, the G2 is a Nexus One with a physical keyboard...awesome. But the new MyTouch not only has a front facing camera and TMO TV, but it is way sexier than the G2. (Sorry, hav, but comparably, the new MyTouch wins

looks-wise

, hands down.) If they put the two together...man. I'd wet myself.

(Sigh). I don't need a new phone. Why did you have to buy one?! :D

P.S. - Let us know how it is so far, man! Spill it!
[G1 Android Development] xamurax:

I just successfully rooted my phone and now I'm running Cyanogenmod 6, it works great..only one problem..everything's erased! Is that supposed to happen?! Cann anyone tell me how to get anything back? Also, how do i access the Android market?
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
Nail on the head my friend.
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
I second that. Compcache does not stand the test of time like swap does.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
You're right, it doesn't, but it's a good alternative to those of us who don't have fast SD cards. I also can't see myself buying one, since I don't plan to have my G1 all that much longer. ;)
[G1 Android Development] MarcLister:
Sometimes I'll take my Magic (running Cyanogen 6) out of my pocket, or off its charger, and I'll see my 5 home screens in a minature 2-1-2 arrangement with two of the home screens at the top of the screen, one in centred in the middle and the last two at the bottom. I've no idea what I'm doing to make it do that but I like it and I can't reproduce whatever it is that makes it happen.

Any tips or hints on what it is and how to re-create it? :)
[G1 Android Development] StreetGuru:
:)) That sounds like the sense preview of the ADW Launcher. You get it by pressing the home button while on the home screens. You can also chnage the setting under ADW settings.
[G1 Android Development] cosmique:
launcherpro has the same feature.

just push the home button, while the phone is on the main home screen :)

[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
You think the MTHD is sexier than the G2?! Whoa dude, I'm the opposite of you, lol. The MTHD is the perfect combination of features for me but I think the G2 is way sexier and I LOVE the physical build quality. I just don't need the physical keyboard and might as well take the FF camera.

You didn't read carefully enough, that IS supposed to happen. Did you use any backup utilities like mybackup or titanium backup?

As for the market, there are TWO zips to flash. One for the rom and one for the google apps. If you didn't notice that part you need to go back and re-read the enitre guide CAREFULLY, because you missed some pretty major details.

Good luck!
[G1 Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
I believe you have to either pinch in or out on the home screen, if I remember from my old G1 days...
[G1 Android Development] MarcLister:
That shows the most recent apps I've just used. Not what I was looking for but that's a nice touch.

Is there a list of all these little tricks Cyanogen's ROM can do? :p

Winner! Thanks. It's a pinch in that makes it happen. :) It makes sense because I don't recall pressing buttons to make this happen so I must inadvertently have been doing a pinch in.
[G1 Android Development] mostafafarrahi:
tnx alot

i updated my 32A htc magic to Radio : 6.35.1018 and SPL : Eng 1.76.2007

[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
You can also set the home button to show the previews, too. It's under Settings>ADWLauncher Settings...Home Button Binding. Personally, I just use the pinch feature, but you can use the home button, too, if you set it.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Honestly, a Class2 still does fine. I know people who use it and it does fine as long as you're not running crazy games. I actually only have a Class4. I think the classes are overrated, for the most part.

Look-wise, I still just think the shininess and buttons of the MTHD are way sexier than the G2...BUT, the G2 has a physical keyboard and runs stock Android. I GUARANTEE that the MTHD will run some messed up version of Android TMO'd out the butt. Yeah, front facing camera...blah blah blah...but I'd opt for a stock Android OS out of the box, any day. The MTHD reminds me of a chick I took on a date because she was hot...then wanted to take her back home after 1/2 hour of being around her. Preprogrammed dumbness. :D

Having said that, I'm not getting any new phone until it can be fully rooted with a real recovery and Cy's got a ROM for it. Period. This whole "adb root until your reboot" cr*p with the G2 just doesn't fly for me. I'm still waiting. It'll happen.

[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Great. Now, we're going to have a flood of RC questions in the stable thread. As if the nightly questions in here weren't enough...I can see the repeated response of "Here's the link to the the RC thread" coming like a flood. :rolleyes:

But still glad 6.1 is in RC stages, though! :)
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
Sure, we may get these questions in the stable thread, but folks asking will probably not get proper help anyway. It doesn't matter if they post here, they will not get adequate help unless they post in the release candidate threads...
