Yeah, unfortunately, you aren't alone at all. It's a known bug and is in the bug tracker. So, Cy will probably get it fixed at some point. The "dirty fix" is to press one of the "zoom" buttons when it goes whacky and it'll fix the pic. But I consider that "Android ductape" :rolleyes: If you really want to keep the 3D gallery, that's the "fix" for now. (Personal opinion: I think the problem is really due to the lack of CPU power and RAM, which is understandable. I could be wrong, though.)

Personally, I just reverted to a 2D gallery with the swipe and pinch zoom addons. Check my sig for the files. Works for me until a fix comes in and it retains the nice Froyo camera app, too. As always, Nandroid backup first!
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Thank you. You'd think AnderWeb would have made it a bit more obvious, but hey. I'm glad it's still there. :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] d3v14n7:
For those who have a problem with rotating home screen (or lack thereof), go into Settings > Display and put a checkmark in auto-rotate screen, then go into Settings > CM Settings > User Interface and put a checkmark in 90 degrees, 180 degrees and 270 degrees, Then go into ADWLauncher > System Preferences > Home Orientation and select Auto/Sensor... And that should do it, that worked for me at least.:)
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
how in the hell could a nightly delete my gapps?

dont know, but it did:confused:

09142010-001217 did it...weird

reflash gapps, all good

My Impressions:

I've been using CM since 6.0RC1 all the way through to this stable release. I'm no expert and I thank CM and the team for all the work done to this point. The ROM's have certainly gotten more stable since the early RC1. My phone is a MT3G.

Tonight I took the step back to 1.6 due to various instabilities in Froyo. The Camera froze up and force closed after taking one picture, the WiFi was hit or miss and so on. This was with/out Compcache, JIT and dithering tried in multiple combination's.

Eventually, I hope to see T-Mobile put out a Froyo update, though I'm not holding my breath for it.

edit: First day back using 1.6 and my battery life is substantially better. I guess Froyo isn't for me :(
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
Yeah, he was emulating the galaxy s home, but unfortunately most people on this thread don't own a galaxy s phone, and so wont think to look there.

Its good to see your on this thread now :)

I was beginning to fall behind on my daily dose of steve jobs references :)
[G1 Android Development] dmandn:
Is anyone else having trouble with battery life? Sometimes it goes a day and a half, others it doesn't last even one day. My phone spends its time on standby.

Also I'm suffering from random restarts every once in a while.

This is all on a 32B.

All I really want is a rom with good battery life, good reception for calls, and stability. If there is any better than cyanogenmod 6 please let me know. (Although I like cyanogenmods stuff normally, I'm willing to try others).

BTW I have wiped all data using Ramon's 1.7 recovery and reflashed then rewiped, but still the same. (I have also tried wiping battery data). I had tried some others from the rom bible, but one was unable to send sms and another one was unable to load music (I use an mp3 for ringtone).
[G1 Android Development] the00guy:
One thing that I found in particular is that Email running in the background, especially ActiveSync with Push enabled will absolutely kill your battery. I suggest Startup Cleaner 2.0 to clean up unnecessary startup apps and services, like with Email and other resource hogging apps. Also, if you have an overclock running, try setting the minimum to be lower to allow the cpu to use less battery when the phone is not being used. :P
[G1 Android Development] dpereda:
Thanks for all the great work.

I love Having 2.2 on my G1.

Unfortunately, next to my Vibrant my G1 is S L O W.

Eagerly awaiting CyanogenMod Froyo for my Vibrant.

Keep up the great work
[G1 Android Development] the00guy:
My CM6 still crashes when doing pretty much anything, randomly. I hope updates are released for cm6. :(
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
If your phone is "crashing" that much, then the problem is your phone, not CM6. That means any updates aren't going to fix your problem...
[G1 Android Development] shoemeistah:
Strange... CM 6.0.0-DS is running perfectly on my HTC Magic 32B although I did flash another kernel over it without even installing SetCPU for root users.

Never had problems nor short battery life, everything works like a dream!
[G1 Android Development] Thad04:
I am also enjoying great success with this rom on my 32b myTouch, and have also have stopped using setcpu. In addition, I recently began using the clockwork recovery to wipe everything that it can before installing a new rom. Not certain, but I believe that that may have made a difference. I also start with a clean SD card, and move my music and such back to the card once the rom is going good.

I do make use of the power control widget and frequently turn off what I am not using.

Kudos to cyanogen. Thanks for a nice rom and giving us poor myTouch users the ability to use the new voice search - I LOVE IT!
[G1 Android Development] Fedburin:
Fasttest 3.1

Hasn't been updated in a while. Not the latest and greatest but it works out of the box. Based on Donut. You might want to try posting this question in a general section for the Sapphire. Asking for a "better" Rom in this section is bound to piss people off.
[G1 Android Development] Fedburin:
Do you have any Linpack or Quadrant scores?

I was thinking of flashing this back to my wife's phone instead of Fasttest.
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
Yeah, because nothing says "I know what I am talking about!" like using Startup Cleaner to...uh..."clean up unnecessary startup apps and services..." Who needs email updates? Kill that pesky Gtalk service. Who needs it?

I rest my case...
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Anyone who wants push Gmail...

I find the GTalk service stopping on it's own annoying, and still haven't found a permanent solution for it. :(
[G1 Android Development] dualityim:
I found a solution that mostly solved my problem. The gapps service kept getting killed because of low memory, and it turns out that using Froyo's apps on SD feature takes an not insignificant amount of memory per add moved to SD, because it runs separate processes to mount each app file on the SD as a partition and decrypts it. So I deleted a few apps I don't use often and moved the rest back to the phone. I had 14 apps on the SD before, and doing away with them freed up 10-12MB of memory, and now gapps is no longer being killed. It seems the key is to make sure that with all services running, you still have more than 25MB of free memory, that way you can launch a couple of apps without needing to have services killed.
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
That was sarcasm. The genius is recommending a task killer for battery drain, then two posts later talks about how CM6 crashes. Brilliant.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Haha, good point!
[G1 Android Development] highlandsun:
Well, I don't use gmail or the other email apps. I get something like 1500 messages a day and it would take forever for any of those apps to read my inbox. I just use Connectbot and ssh into my server and run mutt there. So yeah, I've used a startup manager to kill gtalk, email and a bunch of other useless stuff.

Everybody has a different definition of what's "useful" ...
[G1 Android Development] su27:
I wonder why you use an android phone?
[G1 Android Development] Kainzo:
I still can't understand why the phone has severe issues with rotating.. .whenever I open up a text message it automatically forces landscape... Sometimes when I open the internet browser, it will force the phone to have an upside down landscape opposite of the keyboard.

Is there a setting I'm missing for these weird behaviors ? I've tried wiping the rotating settings and I've done a FULL wipe before install.

Any thoughts?
[G1 Android Development] ripgut:
I get that alot too, even when i go into just settings, it automatically goes into landscape, i've since went back to enomther's Official Tmobile ROM, it just works. i dont think the MT3G is meant for Froyo no matter how much it's tweaked. I also highly doubt T-mobile will push a froyo OTA update for regular MT3G phones
[G1 Android Development] Kainzo:
Well, I'm using a G1.... however my GF just got the 2.2 OTA update and she says it happens to her as well and shes using the original DROID phone...

I'm betting its a setting somewhere that I just can't wrap my brain around.
[G1 Android Development] Kainzo:
I must have missed this - this has resolved 90% of all the random rotatings, THANKS!
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
I wasn't suggesting he didn't know what was useful, but that he didn't know what he was doing. Within two posts he suggests using a task killer to kill those "unnecessary" apps and services, and then disparages CM6 because it crashes constantly. The obvious juxtaposition of the two posts is amusing.

I would use the synchronization menu to stop the Gmail process. You can even safely remove gmail and gtalk if they are that useless (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Barebones). The consequences probably couldn't be any worse than using an app to do the same thing.
[G1 Android Development] 94wolfpack:
I am seeing this a lot. I will open the calendar via the widget or open the web browser and after a couple of seconds it goes to a blank screen and then back to the home screen. I am not sure if its running out of memory and closing or what.

Normally I can reopen the app and continue on... but sometimes I can't get to where i need to get. The app just closes.

I am on a Tmobile G1 (not sure which that is A or B) and am using the Stable CM6.0.

Any one have any suggestions? I have fiddled with Compcache, JIT etc but have not found a combination that works. (And this happens even on a fresh reboot.) Usually can repeat it by loading engadget.com in the stock browser.
[G1 Android Development] highlandsun:
I'm going to assume that was a rhetorical question, but anyway...

'cause it runs Linux and I'm a software developer writing code on it. The hardware is useful. A lot of the app environment is useful. Google Maps, many apps in the Market are useful... Those particular apps aren't, to me.

Maybe, with a faster CPU and more RAM, and a larger battery, it would be tolerable to have all of my email constantly downloading in the background. But with a G1, no - it sucks the battery dry, and there's no convenient way to process 1000 emails on a device with such tight constraints. And I'd still need a spam filter on my email server to prevent downloading unnecessary crap to the phone.
[G1 Android Development] highlandsun:
Definitely sounds like running out of memory. My experience with compcache has all been bad, now I just use a 64MB swap partition. But the other trick I use is not to have the swap automatically activated on boot. This way the majority of startup crap will be killed (due to lack of memory). Then after all the startup is done, and the zygote server has given up trying to start anything else, I go into a terminal session and activate the swap. That way the swap stays mostly empty until I start to launch the apps I actually care about.

There are definitely way too many background services trying to start by default. Far more than the limited memory of a G1 can support.
[G1 Android Development] dualityim:
Why go through such convoluted means? Wouldn't it make more sense to actually find out what unnecessary services are being run and uninstall them?
[G1 Android Development] highlandsun:
Some of them are apps I will eventually want to use, I just don't need them right away. E.g., Titanium Backup always starts a background job, even though I only do manual backups, not scheduled/automatic ones. Others, like Amazon MP3, I simply delete.
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
I was wondering about this. You said 1500 earlier, and now it's a thousand. Either way, that's like three to four hours a day managing email (at 10 seconds per email.) Of course your battery stats are going to suck. There's nothing convenient about managing 1000 or 1500 emails from the phone. It's definitely not what the ROM, was designed for, or the device. Your usage is killing the battery as much as Gmail would.
[G1 Android Development] dualityim:
You can go to Settings\Applications\Running Services and kill any services that you don't need, and they won't be started again until the next time you run the app that needs the service. I found that to be very handy, as some apps I use start services that don't get shut down (like ConnectBot) so I put a shortcut to Running Services on my homescreen.
[G1 Android Development] supa2001:
How do I make gchat logged in all the time? Seems like the chat gets shut off after couple minutes..

Every time I open it, it needs to re-sign in.
[G1 Android Development] mavendod:
I know this is going to sound dumb, but I've come this far and dont want to ruin my phone. I have the myTouch 3g from T-Mobile and just rooted and flashed the cyanogen 6.0 (or w/e the lastest version is) to it and the android "Market" app does not show up. Neither does Maps, etc.

Please Help!

Thanks in advance!
[G1 Android Development] DrftJnkies:
You also need to flash the Google Add ons.
[G1 Android Development] Fedburin:
I am sure someone will tell you to search the forums. Cyanogen does not include Google Apps in his ROMs due do copyright issues. You can download them separately. They are called gapps. Download them here. Boot into recovery and flash the zip. I have had trouble in the past coming from a full wipe with installing Google Apps especially the Market. Good luck.
[G1 Android Development] mavendod:
So...download the Addon then USB-MS it to the phone and then DO I NEED TO WIPE BEFORE I FLASH it? Or can I just flash it as is?
[G1 Android Development] Fedburin:
Flash as is. Please remember to boot to recovery to flash this.

1. Place the file in the root directory of sdcard.

2. Reboot to recovery

3. Update any zip option in Clockwork or Amon Ra

4. Find appropriate zip on your sdcard

5. Highlight the zip and press the home key

6. Voila - you now have Google Apps
[G1 Android Development] DrftJnkies:
No wipe necessary, just flash over it.
[G1 Android Development] mavendod:
Thank you guys so so much
[G1 Android Development] rock1t:
Works great, I haven't had any bugs what so ever. Battery works great the usb teather, I do get some issues with wireless tether (barnacle) but it still works enough to use it. At first I had some trouble with the google addon (where I get the process is not responding like every 5 seconds) but I just installed the apps package overtop of it self and it works just fine now.

Great job, I use Cyanogen for all my phones and haven't been disappointed yet!
[G1 Android Development] dmandn:
The only rom I found gave me good battery life was 4.2.15.1. I just want to get more than 12-15 hours out of this phone between recharges, it has gps, wifi and synching disabled, and has brightness on low, but can't last even one day.

I have not modified launch apps or anything like that.

I am also suffering from approx 1 random restart per day, I know from the startup noise and red vodafone screen that follows.

Do you guys think something might be wrong with the phone itself?
[G1 Android Development] staunty:
Ok, I haven't found this mentioned before and I don't really know how to explain it but I'll try. Sometimes when typing a text for instance, I'll type one character and then the cursor jumps upwards. Its almost like the trackball it flicked upwards so that the orange box that is normally around the text box, is moved upwards. It happens periodically so its hard to reproduce. Anybody else know what I am talking about?
[G1 Android Development] siatexas:
Has anyone else had trouble with the google contacts sync? I haven't been able to sync my contacts since the end of last month. When I try to do it manually it says "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."
[G1 Android Development] feloccio:
battery life

I found that NOT using "performance-apps" like setcpu or swapper extended my battery life quite significant.

After 8 hours of occasionally use i still have a full battery, which is awesome.

So not running any apps in the background (exept system) makes the difference for me.
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
You can try to clear data and cache from the Contacts app.

I get the same results. CPU seemed to be at max, and I didn't notice any battery savings when I adjusted the idle frequency down, so into the bin SetCPU went. I replaced swapper with a simple userint.sh script. It uses my swap partition and sets swappiness. I found the userint.sh setup on XDA somewhere, but I can't remember where. Otherwise, Steve-o's scripts work well, too, it just pormpts you for the same info, like your setup, swappiness, etc. (I just sorta wanted to know what I was attempting to do.) I am getting pretty good battery life. I don't take any extraordinary measures, either. All background sync processes (Gmail, calendar, contacts) are running, Touchdown is running all the time, I have my screen at full brightness, WiFi is on...The only thing I do that seems to have made any difference to me is that I don't live in a 3G area, so I force 2G only. I read that the phone searches for 3G constantly, and either it is my imagination, or fact, but the phone seems to have much better battery life with 2G only set (that's from CM4, CM5, and CM6.) I hope this helps.
[G1 Android Development] tommeke4:
i seem to have a problem. i just flashed cm6 and all working great so far but my apps stay on my phone and won't be ported to my sd card. rebooted few times now but no luck. repartition my sd?
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
Cm6 does not support a2sd in the old way, just froyo2sd. Froyo will not recognize ext partitions. Use the firerat script to enable apps2sd. Search google for it. First link is the xda one.
[G1 Android Development] tommeke4:
haha thanks i feel so stupid right now :P

do i need to do this everytime when i downloaded new apps?
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
Nope just apply the patch once after flashing CM6 and your good to go until u flash next time :)

You'll also have to change the time, date and other notification colors to gray/white, otherwise they'll be invisible (IE: Black on black).
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
No I'm sure someone else has 3G. What can I help you with?
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
I meant to go back and edit that to tell you to do so from the Applications menu under settings, and then find the contacts and contacts storage apps. I am glad that worked. I remember clearing those ages ago, but now I can't remember how that affected my phone afterward (or it may have been Gmail and Gmail storage, but I suspect clearing those cache and data resources has the same effect.) If my contacts weren't updating, I would have a cow and try anything to get them working.

[G1 Android Development] highlandsun:
That seems to only work for one or two services. There are a lot more background jobs (shown in the terminal using the ps command) that aren't affected.
[G1 Android Development] smurf:
there is maybe an app that sucks out the battery. I had this kind of problem with xiia which started itself and didnt get killed somehow. Battery life then was < 10h. Everthing was fine after deinstall. My battery lasts for about 2 days with cm6 if i am not playing around much.

The reboots are strange though. I once had reboots with another rom. The problem was a faulty theme which i installed.
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
how old is the battery, and have you checked to see if its swelling up? lay it flat on a flat surface...if its not completely flush with the flat surface, and you can rock it back and forth AT ALL with your finger, its starting to go...doesnt charge fully, and heats up, could cause damage to yer device
[G1 Android Development] dualityim:
It works for all Dalvik services. Pretty much everything else that's running are kernel processes and daemons for media, bluetooth, usb, etc. What exactly are you trying to kill?
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
Not necessarily, it is a userscript you can run and see where the apps are installed (internal phone or sd ext), and also move em back and forth. The thread on the script explains it all. Lemme know if u have issues. Also, there are no such things as stupid questions, we all just need to keep working together. Love the community!

Phone Troubles

I having some trouble with my phone. It works fine for a day or so then it gets stuck in boot loop at the cyanogen splash screen. I usually have to load recovery mode and wipe its back to normal. Now recovery mode is also freezing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have a t-mobile mytouch. And currently running the lastest cyanogen 6 on it.

EDIT: I figured out a way to boot recovery mode if that helps
