The question is HOW TO: "fastboot erase system -w" I see no way in terminal for Fastboot nor adb Fastboot...I have wiped in recovery wiped everything (5 times now)...just saw:

Krician's suggestion -This may be a Bug-That your phone will keep rebooting while first boot without a SIM.

Am trying that next...

just a suggestion - Would be great if when giving helpful advice the full commands were given..."fastboot erase system -w" does not say HOW TO..e.g. "do a logcat"...make sure adb is working, by either going to the directory it is in (/android/tools) or have it in the PATH. BTW, takes about one min after 1st booting for adb to "link up" with the phone...

#adb device (if you see device it is)

#adb remount

#adb logcat

Had the same prob. hours ago. Tried different gapps, nothing worked. The only way I found to get gmail account sync back is to wipe the phone and install 6.0 and then gapps. (then restore all your apps)

I did have an issue updating from 5.0.8 to 6RC1.

While at the home screen, the status bar would not appear. You could drag down anywhere on the screen to bring down the notification menu, but the bar would still not appear for time/date/battery/etc.

I then went back and installed the Google Apps. When I booted up the phone again, it brought me to the first startup setup. When it said "Click the Android to continue", it would register a touch, but not advance.

I'm about to do a wipe/reinstall.

the market has been force closing randomly for certain users. like me. i tried all gapps links. but im a try re-downloading both the cm6.0.0 zip and the gapps zip and re flash without firerats patch then im a try with firerats patch. and ill post the results as soon as i finish.

no way to change it in labs.. movement? huh... and that was just a observation...i jsut wont to know why gps locate was faster in other rom
[G1 Android Development] studjuice:
fastboot is different than adb. instead of typing "adb fastboot" your just typing "fastboot blah blah blah blah"

turn the phone off

hold down Back+Power till you see the fast boot screen, you'll see it.

then connect to computer, open terminal, cd to your Android SDK's tools directory, and type "fastboot erase system -w", then hit enter, and everything will be erased

then push whatever button your phone says on the screen to turn it off (i think it's menu)

hold down Home+Power to get into recovery, and take it from there

not too sure, i did a lot of work in defcon's roms. it could be that network location was different. but it's more likely that it was purely because of how much stuff is running. with cm6.0 your flashing gapps and it comes with 'extra' stuff. the defcon stuff was pretty basic, so maybe you had more bandwidth going in and out. maybe maybe maybe

but i did notice a small difference in the size of networklocation.apk and it gets me curious if that's the cause.... hmmmmmm

Initially flashed to latest CM6 and then gapps provided, but couldn't sign onto Google Account and Market exits when launched. Went back to CM5 waiting for a fix.

Then re-flashed CM6, and WIPE and then flash latest gapps zip (from first post) and now works brilliantly!

Btw, must I unable JIT in the settings so I get faster browser experience?
[G1 Android Development] ju12zo:
Try hitting cancel download then hit install again. It should work. I had this issue last night right after a flash. Look at an app you have never downloaded and it should be normal.

Froyo backs up apps and data now so during my initial sync it did reinstalled them. But the market didn't show them installed at first. Let the phone settle before installing apps. Hey at least you have the market up!
[G1 Android Development] here.david:
What am I missing....I get - yes I adb devices and it shows as connected:

android/tools# fastboot erase system -w

< waiting for device >

Does not do anything....what am I missing....?????????

OH, I have an old fastboot I bet...silly me...updated the sdk to 2.2 didn't:eek: think I also had to do the fastboot...

phone will keep rebooting while first boot without a SIM

Krician's suggestion -This may be a Bug-That your phone will keep rebooting while first boot without a SIM.

That worked for mine G1...now able to have 2.2 so far everything is smooth...
[G1 Android Development] studjuice:
you must put your phone into fastboot mode before you can use fastboot.

turn it off and hold down Back and Power at the same time till you see that screen. when your there plug it in. you can check if its connect by doing "fastboot devices" (not adb devices, that doesn't work in fastboot mode)

[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Like said above, "3G" or "4G" or whatever is just (or rather; has been watered down to) marketing mumbojumbo, like "HD-Ready" TVs or "GT" cars. Obviously, the marketing people are slapping 4G stickers on anything that's faster (download speed) than the devices they put "3G" stickers on.

Battery?

I have serious Battery issues. Loading takes a whole night even when I switch to Flighmode. The phone gets warm (near the usb port) and the battery drains in less than half a day on standby.

I went from 6.0 directly to 6.1 as I didn't wan't to wipe and do the whole reinstallation again. Could this help? If so is there an easy way to backup the list of programs downloaded from the store? I don't mind installing them again I just can't be bothered to look for all of them again. Titanium doesn't really do it...

Anyway to overclock the GPU on the G1? I installed Cyanogen 6.1 on my Kaiser, and I have the GPU overclocked, and surprisingly it's faster in running certain applications then my G1 which also has Cyanogen 6.1. Games like Quake and Quake 2 run faster on my Kaiser then on my G1.

[G1 Android Development] tulamidan:
you'll find it on the cyanogenmod.com website.

The wipe was a big FAIL with facepalm. Lost most of my apps even though I used AppBrain. It just didn't store all the apps I downloaded... just some. And mostly the ones that come with the ROM anyway.

And facepalm... because the battery still drains as fast as before. Didn't gain anything...just lost...

Any more suggestions how I can stop my G1 to eat my battery (6h standby and thats it...)
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Not sure why Titanium Backup isn't the answer for you; it backs up all your apps (+ 3rd party data, which Google does NOT do) and reinstalls them all with a single click. Perhaps I'm not tracking with you, but that seems a whole lot easier than finding an app that just makes a list and then using that list to manually reinstall each app one by one and, worse yet, without retaining your original 3rd part data.

This is all considering you use the "donate" or "Pro" version of TB.
[G1 Android Development] tulamidan:
That might be it.. I'm on the free version of titanium.

Anyway I'm still trying to figure out the Battery issue when I'm using the phone I can see that it looses 1% every 5-10s.

I have tried to wipe and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=678617

What else could I do? Most power seems to go to Mobile Network Standby and second in the list is the Android system itself. (69% to 20% accordingt to battery usage.)

[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Shell out the couple bucks for TB's Pro version. Believe me, you will NOT be disappointed. If I had to buy only one app ever, I'd pick TB.

As far as your battery life, it comes from flashing ROMS a lot. I know, because it's happened to me more than once.

Charge it up to 100% (not green, but when your lock screen actually says 100%)

Leave it sit for an hour charging from there

Reboot to recovery (while plugged in)

Delete just the battery stats

Pull the plug

Reboot

Use it until it dies

Charge it up to 100% one more time

Then, Android's battery stats should be reset. It's a pain, I know, but it's what we get sometimes when we flash and reflash ROMS. Hope that helps.

P.S. - This is assuming that you aren't overclocking like mad, getting FB notifications every 5 minutes (or at all), etc.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Ever since flashing RC1, I've been having battery issues (dying after only a few hours, never charging past 77%, etc). The procedure I used to recalibrate the battery was a little different. I didn't notice much change, so I'll try yours and see what happens. Thanks for posting it.

I should add that I am still using the 6.0.0 Stable release as well as SetCPU with a minimum frequency set at 176Mhz and max at 576Mhz (176Mhz-245Mhz Screen Off freq, as well). There may very well be a battery hog bug in the RC. But it won't hurt to try, though. Good luck.
[G1 Android Development] bemymonkey:
Hi everyone, quick question: I just got a Dream for my girlfriend, and it's extremely slow with CM6 nightlies (tried the one from the day before yesterday). Are you guys all using SWAP/compcache/OC to make it snappier?

Or am I just doing something wrong? Flashed nightly, then gapps tiny and left compcache on default setting.

The MT3G ROM is much faster for some reason. How come?
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
You're looking for the nightly thread. This is (currently) a RC thread. You'll find more help over there.

FYI: Nightlies are simply scheduled backups of work in progress. Don't expect them to work well or even at all (as a nightly could be a backup of an unfinished ROM at times).
[G1 Android Development] i n f a m o u s:
This ROM has actually been really unstable for daily on my MT3G 1.2. I get a lot of F/C's and sometimes it'll even restart itself.

I love the new integrated Power Controls in the notification bar, I just wish it was stable enough for daily use.
[G1 Android Development] trapdogg:
It works fine on my mytouch 1.2 no force closes or resets.
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
This ROM _______ on my _______ phone.

We are all going to have different experiences. I hated CM6.0, but CM6.1 runs very well on my original MT3G. I get better battery life and I haven't had a single force close. I ran the T-Mo FROYO ROM and it sucked compared to CM6.1. Every device is configured differently, even with a clean slate.

So, I am not sure I see the point of posting just to say that the ROM doesn't work on your phone. Are you asking for advice, disparaging the ROM, or just posting to hear your head rattle?

If you are looking for advice, tell us about your phone. Did you wipe before flashing the files? Are you using an SD-based swap or compcache? Have you followed some of the advice in the signatures of forum members to improve performance? Did you back up your apps using Titanium and then restore them?

Don't waste our time telling us how crappy your phone runs on 6.1, because you will get just as many people posting saying how well the ROM runs on their phones. Tell us about your apps, your memory situation, your configuration, and if any of us can help, we'll offer advice.
[G1 Android Development] bemymonkey:
Thanks, I couldn't find a nightly thread here on XDA so I figured this was being used as the general thread. On that matter, I actually tried 6.1RC1 before flashing the nightly, and that was even slower... :(

Why? We all have the same hardware, don't we? Performance should be more or less the same after a wipe...

Didn't I? Fresh flash of CM6.1RC1 and G-Apps, and then, when that was too slow, the nightly from a few days ago. No apps yet, default settings, no SWAP, compcache left on the default setting... Wipes after every ROM flash.

Even without any apps installed, and with all the settings on default, the ROM (RC1) is so slow that it's painful to use... that's why I specifically asked if I had done something wrong, or if it was absolutely necessary to use a certain CompCache/SWAP type with CM6.x.
[G1 Android Development] bylokk:
From my excperience with all these custom ROMs (where most of the time my phone was way too slow) I have to say that there's a lot of 'trial and error' with the settings(swap,cc,kernel,...). With default settings it shouldn't be thaaat slow unless the nightly your're running is kind of faulty.

Currently I am running Nightly Build 130 with these settings (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=8989057#post8989057) and my G1 is still running with the best speed and battery I ever had.

Thanks for the tip, but I'm a noob in the Android world. I was hoping someone could tell me how to delete the battery stats. I put my device into recovery mode by booting up pressing the home and power keys, but I have no idea where to find the battery stats.
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
Hey Monkey. Don't take my post too personally. I just tire of the post/counter-post about performance without any information. I don't remember reading your post specifically.

As for your statement about all hardware being the same, I would say no. Did you wipe all settings? Using wifi? Is it unstable after 24 hours? I can't tell without a signature what phone you are using (I know it's a G1 forum,) but CM 6.1 is running very well on my phone, and much better than the official T-Mo 2.2 ROM.

I think compcache and VMheap are on by default, which may be a problem for you. my_former_self has a pretty good guide appended to his signature that may help you with some performance settings, in which he suggests disabling compcache. The compcache configuration has been debated many times, as has SD-based swap, but I get great performance without compcache. I have a 32MB SD-based swap partition with a swap script at boot.

I have never been a fan of ADW, so I removed that and replaced with stock launcher. I have launcher locked into memory, as well as the new setting to lock SMS into memory (I always missed texts in cm5 and cm6....This is a great feature.) I uninstall a few background apps I don't use, like Amazon and those genie widgets. I don't use any desktop widgets and I have less than ten apps on my phone. I use 2G only and 90% of the time I'm on wifi. I run my screen at full bright and I use headphones for my near-daily, two-hour conference calls. I am getting excellent battery life. I haven't seen anything less than 65% out of a full day's use since loading the ROM a week ago. No FCs and the only lag I experienced was before I flipped the switch to lock launcher. I had a few reboots when I first loaded the ROM until it got a signal. I am not sure what that was about, but since that time it has worked perfectly. I have finally mothballed my CM4.2.15.1 nandroid.

I think I have a pretty funky set up. That's why I say everyone's experience is going to be different with how their usage patterns and configurations differ. I am looking forward to 6.1 final, and I hope it runs as well as the RC I am using now. If not, I'll pull CM4.2 out of retirement.
[G1 Android Development] bemymonkey:
I also have a Desire (which runs CM6 RC1 like a champ), but I was talking about my new Dream (got it for my girlfriend and I'm test driving it right now). Yes, I'm using WiFi most of the time... and it was too slow for me to notice any instability ;)

I'll give SWAP a try, thanks. Turning Compcache off didn't really seem to change anything though... :confused:

Maybe the performance differences are just too subtle for me to notice...

I think I really just might be too used to my Desire. 415MB of usable RAM vs. the ~100MB on the Dream is just too huge a difference. Have to use the Dream for a whole day or so and leave the Desire at home, maybe then I'll become better acclimated :)

I suppose SWAP is a good place to start... :)
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
Yeah...I hate driving my 93 Ford pickup truck just after getting out of my Porsche. Seriously, I have a six year old laptop I use to manage some network resources and when I access it after using my work laptop, I always think it is locked up. I think that may be what you are seeing, too.

I am not guaranteeing you that swap will make any difference in speed. I find this RC1 to be as stable as CM4.2, which in my opinion was a rock-solid performer (with swap and 10MB RAM hack.) I was anti-FROYO on this device until this release. I can say with 100% certainty that CM6.1 RC1 is a daily driver for me. No glitches at all so far.
[G1 Android Development] bylokk:
the Gapps version I wrote is the latest one that has correct translations.

and of course it is the tiny version that is needed by the G1
[G1 Android Development] bemymonkey:
To be fair, what I'm currently seeing is more like:

CM6.1 RC1 = Ford pickup truck

CM6.1 nightlies = Honda Civic

MT3G test ROM = Porsche

Desire w/ CM6.1 = F15 fighter jet

:p

I really want to get CM6.1RC1 running smoothly on the Dream though, because I've become pretty much addicted to all the features and tweaks. Bluetooth HID alone is worth the phone's weight in gold :eek:

@bylokk: Thx, didn't know about the translations :eek:
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
What is the MT3G test ROM?
[G1 Android Development] raven_raven:
It's Official Froyo for MT3G ported to G1. It's on the first page for few weeks, c'mon man, how come you haven't noticed it?? For me it's the best Froyo for G1 ever released.
[G1 Android Development] d3v14n7:
What he said.

Sadly, there is no apps2ext, compcache or real swap available for it (Firerat's patch doesn't work on that ROM), but otherwise its the fastest and most stable Froyo ROM out there so far, especially after you use the new SPL/Radio combo that gives you an extra 14MB of free ram on your G1/Dream. The wife is using this ROM as a daily driver, she doesn't use many apps so apps2ext isn't needed, all she wanted was speed and stability, ezterry's 2.2.1 ASOP ROM provides the best of both. She's extremely happy with it so far, she likes it more than CM 6.0.0 and CM 6.1 RC1.

But as far as more advanced features go, CM 6.1 RC1 has been the best for me (daily driver on my Dream), going to give Biffmod 2.1 a shot tonight and see how that goes on my other rooted Dream, been hearing lots of good things about it.
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
He called it Official test ROM. The test part threw me off and I don't often go to the top level of the forums.

I loaded the T-Mo ROM and it was worthless. Lag returning to launcher from settings, camera app, or gallery. Accessing an app's notice from the notification bar would cause the notice to disappear and the app to "home screen," requiring me to re-access the app from launcher to see what the notice was for. Gtalk, SMS, and other apps close if the browser or Google Nav opened. I rooted using SuperOneClick to remove Amazon and other apps I never use, with no help. It seems stable as long as you don't stress it.

CM6.1 RC1, in my opinion, runs circles around the T-Mo ROM, and I really wanted the T-Mo ROM to work. I like that I can lock launcher and SMS in memory. NO lag, FCs, or reboots (beyond initial rebooting when I first flashed the ROM.) Daily driver for me, and I look forward to 6.1 final.
[G1 Android Development] mykro:
home and call buttons stop working

After installing CM 6.1 RC1, the HOME and CALL buttons are completely non-functional on my 32B Magic. In fact both short and long presses do nothing.

In "ADWLauncher/System/Home button binding" it's set to "move to default desktop" but does nothing. I can't find anywhere else to reset or configure these bindings.

Any thoughts? I didn't have this problem with CM 6.0 RC3. Thanks!

EDIT: Never mind, I solved it. I wiped again, went back to CM 6.0 final, completed the setup, and then flashed 6.1 RC1 over the top. All the buttons work now. I think it was due to flashing 6.1 RC1 right after a wipe - the setup wizard in RC1 seems to be a bit buggy and didn't complete properly. From what I recall, it didn't ask me for time settings, and it didn't put the tips android widget on the desktop. Because of this I suspect it didn't set up the button bindings properly either.

You seem to be running CM6.x with SWAP and the T-Mo ROM without, right? Maybe that's why? I really need to try CM6 with SWAP.

You can do it in amon-ra recovery under Wipe. I'm not sure about the other recoveries. Charge your battery fully, then do a wipe and use it until it runs low.
