I'd try it but i don't have titanium backup and its a gr8 risk for me
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
let me try it on mine and I'll let you know if it backs up to the computer :)
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
Thanks i'll be waiting for you :)
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
everythings good so far... I've moved an app to the sd card, copied the contents of the sd card to my computer, and repartitioned my sd card. then I booted back up with the empty (but newly partitioned) sd card) and checked to make sure the app I moved was gone. it was. so now I'm moving the files from my computer back to the sd card to see if I get the app back. just a few more minutes and I'll be able to tell you :)
[G1 Android Development] funkeee:
Thanks for the detailed reply. I use swap when I run 4.2.1, which I still use from time to time. But because I have a class 2 and compcache seems straightforward enough, I'm running it on CM6.
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
it worked :)

so to repartition your sd card without losing anything: (make sure your just repartitioning the SD card and not wiping data)

if you actually have apps saved to the sd card (otherwise repartitioning wont make a difference as far as apps go)

there are two easy options.

Method 1:

1. mount your phone to your computer and copy EVERYTHING in the sd card to a folder on the computer.

2. next boot into recovery (I find that easiest, but repartition however you like) and repartition your sd card how you want it (if your using froyo apps 2 sd and no swap then just make it all fat32)

3. reboot the phone, all the apps from the sd card will be gone at this point, but don't worry :)

4. mount the phone to the computer again and copy all the files from the computer to the sd card (if it asks you to overwrite or merge already existing files make sure and click yes) the contents of the "secure_android" folder are the key here.

5. then just unmount your phone once its done copying and your done :)

all apps and files should be back on the phone.

Method 2: (silly me, I don't know why I did not think of this before)

1. just move all the apps back to internal memory (if you have enough free)

2. then repartition the card (this wont affect the apps at all with them on internal memory)

3. then just move the apps back to internal memory when finished.
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
Thanks alot for all your help :)

just one last question i can create swap partition just with fat32? and also i have backed up everything except the secure_android folder so can i just copy this one? instead of copying all the contents of the sdcard again?
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
The secure android file is the one with the apps. So I would guess that you could only copy that one and be ok, but then you would lose everything else besides your apps. I'd recommend copying the whole card especially the secure android folder. so you don't lose anything because repartitioning will delete everything that you have not backed up.
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
If you use the app swapper 2, I believe it lets you make a fat swap. But I always use a partitioned swap file myself. You could also switch to compcache or add a swap partition without an app partition. If you don't like the idea of fat swap.
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
Thank you bro for all your help :)

I'm all set now for the great CM 6.0.1 RC2...
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
no problem :)
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
My apps are not comming back ... i copied the whole fat32 ... repartitioned my sdcard ext = 0

swap=32MB

remaining fat32

then flashed CM 6.0.1 RC2 and gapps

then copied all my contents back to the sdcard but there are no apps :(
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
make sure when you copy the secure android folder back to the sd card that you either overwrite whats already there, or only copy the contents into the folder on the sd card.
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
i did it ...

also sometimes my phone reboots at startup when on the menu ... and now it got rebooted while i was setting up google account for sync...
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
Oh wait you flashed the rom? I did know you were upgrading...

I thought you were on cm6 just switching to froyo a2sd and repartitioning to save SD card space by getting rid of the ext partition? remember when I said not to wipe the data partition on the phone? If you wiped before flashing then that would do it... or if you were using apps to ext. But usually cm6 will auto redownload your apps so check the market it may take awhile though.

The SD card backup only works for froyo 2sd..

So to get apps back.

When you first open the market you should either see them downloading in the downloads section or at least the option to redownload. They should not be gone forever, but they might be a pain to redownload...

I'm really sorry for the confusion...
[G1 Android Development] penpen1022:
for some reason it will find wifi but never fully connect to it

and how do you install the google apps? dont know how i would download linda again to install it
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
Its ok... i'll get the apps back but what the reboot problem ... it reboots unocassionaly on anything and i can't seem to understand the problem...

yes i wiped and that was the mistake i did, i shouldn't have wiped ill try it again ... but what if the reboot problem doesn't stop?
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
Rc2 is a test rom for me it was perfectly stable but rc1 was a little flaky at first and then stableized after a few hours, it rebooted on me about four times and then just stopped doing it. I don't know why. I'd give it a day and see if it gets better otherwise go back to the stable release. But let me give you some settings that should stableize things a bit.
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
yes please
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
Set either conpcache or swap. It will speed things up alot. Go to spare parts and change all animations to fast. Turn off dithering in cyanogenmod settings.

If you need help finding the settings just let me know.
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
The first post has the link to download the Google apps zip. Just put it on the root of your SD card and flash it from recovery like you would flash a rom.
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
its just rebooted again when i opened up browser ...

everything else is fine...
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
It should quit that eventually. Just keep opening things. Sorry I should have checked your signature for rom version... I'm on my phone. So I can't see signatures...
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
i have danger spl

amon ra's 1.7.0

and was running 5.0.8

...

the phone gets in to the rom and restarts at once ... i think there is some prob in some app in the android secure folder so i deleted and now im checking if it does the game...
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
You might try wiping everything and reflashing since you already lost apps anyway. And just keep an SD backup on your computer just in case.
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
I've done wiping and flashing alot times now... getting the same results over and over again...

trying this again right now...
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
restarted again...

i just tried to login to my google account and it just got restarted again...
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
disable wifi, if you haven't already, that causes issues for some people. (that is if you can get to the point where you can disable wifi)
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
Can it be because of the kernel?

what is the EBI port? i haven't flashed that before flashing cm 6.0.0
[G1 Android Development] kevitoNY:
Yep I get the exact same issue with CM6 as well as with 5 I hated it but it stopped after a while I have no clue why it does that the rom needs a little more kinking out. Still its Froyo on a G1 can't say much else is wrong I love it.
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
Yes it could definitely be a kernel issue.
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
so any idea when will it stop reboot loop ?
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
Wiped , Flashed EBI port , Flashed CM 6.0.0 rc2 and gapps ... the rom is running smoother but i haven't tried the wifi uptill now...
[G1 Android Development] penpen1022:
whats the latest stable version?

i dont have a data plan so i kinda wanna have wifi capabilities
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
Wifi causes issues for some (bootloops usually that's why I was thinking wifi initially) but not everyone.
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
Try wifi see if it works its only a few people that have issues, but latest stable version is 5.0.8...
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
i just dont knw wether to try wifi this time or not...
[G1 Android Development] penpen1022:
nope wifi doesn't work guess ill try 5.0.8 till this build gets a bit more stable
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
did ya try wifi on this one?
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
If it doesn't work you can always flash the rom you had before.

Hopefully it works though.
[G1 Android Development] captinamerica:
hey guys! ROM is running great and seems really snappy. My questions is why do i have no sound? No sound from the ear piece or the speaker phone and no ring when people call. I actually just switched to this ROM from another in hopes that it would fix that problem. I'm sure this is the wrong place but I wasn't sure if there was an option I should change? Thanks guys.
[G1 Android Development] penpen1022:
just booted up in 5.0.8 and still no wifi, still says its "out of range" when im 8 feet from the router, and they dont scan for wifi. is there a manual way to scan for wifi?
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
You can disable and re-enable wifi and it should scan again. Or you can add a network but if it can't find it it will just say out of range..

Did You have wifi before all this?
[G1 Android Development] scap2000:
Try this: first "forget" the network, then turn-off wi-fi, reboot, turn on wi-fi and you probably got fixed. Some times you can skip rebooting. And then, if you can't find the network try adding this manually. I usually have this problem when flashing roms.
[G1 Android Development] Guyver96:
Sorry everyone but im not having any luck finding what i need, Can someone either tell me how to phrase it exacly how it shows on the thread or link me to it ? Im trying to find the fix for the rom being laggy...

As for the Wifi Issue i found that my g1 doesnt seem to like certain types of wifi bands... i find several wifi signals but the one i created doesnt show on the phone... Im using the Linksys WUSB54GC Compact Wireless-G USB Adapter, No go....

Try finding some other signal if you havent already havent read all the posts yet...
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
If your on a g1 then run a maximum of 32mb swap. Should help tremendously.
[G1 Android Development] Guyver96:
lol sorry man, im new to all this phone flashing world... how do i do that?
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
'Sup, Fly. Just a heads up. If you use a partition, you don't need to tell Swapper2 what size swap; that's just if you use a swap file. Just thought I'd save you some time :)
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
Cool :)

That did seem rather redundant.
[G1 Android Development] Guyver96:
I did all that as i was rooting the phone... except the swapper part but i did the partition as i rooted the phone... So if im understanding correctly here i made the phone slower by replacing the sd i originally did everything to get the rom done? The sd i used i took it out and put in the sd with all my music and movies lol ... oops.... I also formated that sd now that i think about it... on the pc...
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
so Im not having anymore of the restart problem suddenly i gave it some time after flashing and then turned on the wi fi nothing happened... its safe now

but one thing that really messed up is whenver i wiped and reflashed none of the apps in android secure folder that i had previously installed were there...
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
the ebi1 port is for 32A's and Rogers G1, when you flashed Cm6 it just orverwrote it

Don't waste your time flashing EBI1 Kernel ( if you try to boot with it it won't boot )
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
nope, if they had the wrong kernel it wouldn't boot

ebi1 is for 32As not 32Bs

also "could" and "definitely" are contradictory
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
my internal memory is only 35Mb i have all my apps on the fat32 sdcard

do u knw how can clear it up?
[G1 Android Development] zim2dive:
I've been playing with swapper 2... I see the message "Swapper 2 has been granted super user priveleges" (or something similar) more often than I would expect (ie. I'd only expect it to happen when I reboot)... perhaps it gets killed sometimes and has to relaunch?
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
Your right.

I was just reading up on it at the time, and a lot of people were saying that they fixed random reboots in froyo roms by switching kernels, though not necessarily using the EBI1 port which on a normal g1 I see is pointless.

that's the only reason I recommended switching kernels, which I should have in hindsight either looked farther into which one to try, or just left well enough alone.

@muhammadsauud

sorry about that, I'll try to send you a link on where I find information about things I haven't tried personally next time so you can decide for yourself weather or not to try it.

yeah, "could" and "definitely" do contradict.

it was long day with a lack of sleep. :)
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
running it good enough for now but i got the restart prob is from the wi fi i log in to my google account , sync my apps and other stuff then when i opened facebook app the phone started rebooting again so i unplugged my router and it didn't reboot i then started my router again and it didn't reboot its a strange problem ...

and if anything on my internal memory ... its too low at 35 MB tried the firerat MTD hack but it didn't did any good on it...
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
if your not using swap (on a swap partition) or apps 2 SD (the ext method) then switching SD cards to a non partitioned should not make a difference :)

if you want to just use a plain formatted SD card then you can use swap and apps 2 SD, just in a different way.

you'll want to use a swap file rather than the ext partition and you'll want to use froyo's built in apps 2 SD which saves to fat32.

but if you already partitioned, then there's really no need to worry about it, having a partitioned SD card when your not using all partitions wont hurt anything, and you'll be set up in case you want to try apps 2 ext or a swap partition in the future. the only downside is that you'll have less memory to save normal stuff (like music) to your SD card.
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
if you save all apps that you can from here out to your SD card then having 35 MB internal memory should not be too much of an issue, just be really choosy on what you decide to keep on internal memory (I'd suggest only things like widgets). but just to be clear, I have a Mytouch 3g myself which is similar to the g1 in most aspects except the memory (and a few other small points). so I have almost 193 MB internal memory free and that's with all apps on internal memory. so we need to find out how much internal memory your supposed to have free... 35 MB may be normal here... I really cant say.

so can anyone else with a g1 post how much free memory you have preferably if you have all apps on the SD?
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
When I did it before I had almost 85Mb free using firerat MTD hack but now its 35Mb , I've just the gapps in the internal memory everything else is on the external I set through cyanogenmod settings and set the apps to be stored on external, might be that the firerat mtd hack isn't applied properly but if I flash again and then apply the hack my apps will vanish again and that's wat really scares me I've had a whole messing night trying to do all my apps again...
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
regardless of where you install the apps, space on data is used up..

do this in terminal

df -h

look at the size of data

here is mine as an example

Every 2.0s: adb shell df -h Mon Aug 2 16:19:21 2010

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 457.4M 80.4M 352.5M 19% /cache

currently I have all of my apps on sd-ext, and my dalvik-cache on data

I'm using 110.4mb of data , and have 7.3mb free space

your 35mb free is not an issue,

and I still don't understand why people are obsessed with wanting data to be empty

please please please tell me why you think you need data to be empty
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
No I don't want to have any extra space regardless if I want it I just wanted to confirm if this is normal coz when I used ext4 in5.0.8 it never used my internal memory and I was thinking may be there's a problem.... otherwise there's no issue in that ...

Apart from dat can u tell me when I flash the rom the apps in android secure folder doesn't install on the phone is there a command to make it use those apps? and currently I'm using 30mb swap partition but when I click on from swapper 2 it says

swap (partition fail)

Dev/block/mmcblk0p3

No such file or directory...

What does this mean?
[G1 Android Development] gophergun:
For someone with a Class 2 SD card, is swap still the better option, or would compcache be recommended? I'm using 64MB swap @30 swappiness at the moment and it's fine, albeit a bit sluggish, just wanted some opinions.

[G1 Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
Just a heads up, my phone has been EXTREMELY STABLE for 3 days now running CM6 and i dont get any reboots, no slow downs, and no force closes. MArket works perfectly fine and speedy and so does wifi etc.

THIS IS DEF A STABLE ROM when done right.

in the biginning you WILL get a few reboots before u can access the phone. mine has been anywhere from 1-4.

I am running dumfuqs 614oc kernal for better results set at 595/595.

Thanks to firerat, my phone is amazingly fast. im getting 4.2 MFLOPS at 1.3 seconds when benchmarking.

I AM NOT using apps2sd and stil have 300mb left on internal storage after downloading a few on my most needed apps.

Here is EXACTLY what i did to get the most amazing, smoothest, fastest rom ever to grace my phone.... and its ALL thanks to firerat.

First get your files found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=717874 - mtd , http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=679572 - all in one patch , and put them on your sd card.

1. Turn your phone off

2. hold back + power to boot into fastboot

3. plug your phone into your computer and open up your command prompt.

4. type "fastboot erase system -w"

5. click menu to turn off Phone

6. boot phone into recovery by holding home + power.

7. you can wipe data and cache again if youd like.

8. flash FR-MTD-PartHack-recovery-v1-1_S.zip

9. Once its flashed you can either go down on your menu and turn the phone off and then reboot into recovery by holding HOME + POWER or you can click the first option REBOOT and QUICKLY press HOME.

10. FLASH CM6-RC2

11. FLASH GAPPS

12. FLASH dumfuqs oc kernal

13. flash FR-MTD-PartHack-boot-v1-2_S.zip

14. click the first option on your recovery menu to reboot system

Once you go past the animation and the google log in comes up hit skip, skip skip skip untill you get to your home screen/launcher. IT WILL MOST LIKELY REBOOT up to THREE TIMES. Everytime you get to your launcher just keep hitting menu or the APP drawer on ADW. After a few REBOOTS it will stablize itself.

15. TURN GPS and AUTO SYNC off

16. GO into cyanogenmod settings and turn dithering off, compcache should be off, and turn JIT ON.

17. go into terminal and activate swap (you should have firerats all in one patch on the sd card) by typing

su

sh /sdcard/fr-patch134.txt swap

18. log into your google account thru - menu > settings > accounts and sync > add account

19. download setcpu or cpu widget and set it at 595/595.

reboot to initiate swap and JIT.

then go ahead and do all the things you want.
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
My as always the question how to restore my apps on the android secure forlder that i have right now?

And the kernel u posted is it for G1 also? as i saw ur signature and u are using a MT3g
[G1 Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
You'd have to ask someone else about the apps, i dont ever back mine up because i tend to never have more then 10-20 at one time, plus all my games and widgets and paid apps are saved as .apk files on my sdcard so i simply reinstall the .apks thru Astro File Manager.

Yes the kernal will work for the G1 because my MT3G is first gen 32b board. basically the g1 with added memory and no keyboard.

the kernal is located here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=698578&highlight=dumfuq under the name "oc614-cm-2.6.34.1-6.0.0rc2-signed.zip"

EDIT: I forgot to mention, once all your apps are downloaded and the phones ready to cruise, go into terminal and type

SU

fix_permissions

Ive seen HUGE benefits
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
And when do i flash the kernel? after everything is done?
[G1 Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
negative, you will mess up the cache partition.

its step 12: flash dumfuqs oc kernal
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
Oh sorry didn't read that ...

i'll try it right now and post the results... finger crossed :D
[G1 Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
you will also need to repartition your sdcard for swap.
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
I already have a swap partition 30Mb
