Backup before you flash. It's a RC (like beta), if you don't want unexpected issues wait for the final. Even the last stable CM still has issues that haven't been resolved. That's the reality of the non stock world, period

Brian Crook's kernel is out for RC2.

I gave it a try and managed to flash RC2 on my Magic.

Firerat my liège! As you can see from my previous post I am in dire need of your awesome a2sdext script. But unfortunately I do not wish to create an account on another forum just to download one script. So I ask you, in my most humble tone: May you please paste your script here or PM it to me?

PS.

THIS COMMENT IS NOW DIAMONDS.

EDIT: Now I See Your Post. ::Facepalm::

EDIT 2: Thank you :D.
[G1 Android Development] zeemcmanus:
Look for a few of my last posts, I found a workaround for that issue in rc1. Wild guess it's the same issue
[G1 Android Development] lozzd:
Forgot I could backup easily now. Thanks for reminding me! The joys of having a rooted phone.

You say that as if the stock ROMs have no bugs :D

I think with RC2 I am ready to make my first try with Froyo... (but only if there are no missing SMS anymore - according to the issues tracker it seems to be fixed, but I will try out)

So what is the optimal partition layout for Froyo/CM6 ?

I have: 96MB Swap / 384MB ext3 / 7.xGB fat32

The current method of using apps2sd is using Firerat's apps2sdext script? or is there a more future-proof method? (cause I don't want to change that with every rom I flash)
[G1 Android Development] choli0090:
Small problem with that... People can have the # of replies on one page set differently. So while it would be page 130 for one person, it might be page 200 for the next person.
[G1 Android Development] palexr:
? The one about setting the apps location to internal in CM settings? Done that doesn't seem to have done the trick.. Thanks anyway.

I think it is something to do with wifi, it just takes ages/for ever to start downloading anything, switch wifi and it starts but at the snail's pace that is 3G :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] zeemcmanus:
Yeah that was the one. Haven't yet had the chance to flash RC2, ah well.
[G1 Android Development] lozzd:
Everything seems fine RC1 -> RC2.. only annoyance is I uninstalled ADWLauncher in RC1, just uninstalled it again and re-installed stock Launcher2.apk and it lost my desktop wahhh. Ah well.
[G1 Android Development] svtfmook:
did a no wipe update from rc1 and rc2 is flying! much smoother and less buggy.

one request, htcclay's superbad 1.7 had a reboot widget. i tried pulling it out of the rom's zip, but it would not install. can anyone make an apk for this that will install on cm6? i miss this widget.

While I disagree with the use of big bold reds, he did specifically mention he's looking for the changes between RC1 and RC2, which isn't in the OP. That changelog in the OP is of the entire build, and is more of a feature list than version changes. Heck, the ADW version listed is still 0.9.

Yes, I'm also curious to know what RC2 added from RC1.
[G1 Android Development] BoomBoomPOW:
Strange.....

Enabled froyo2sd for most of my market apps. It went well. Then ran fix_permissions in terminal; rebooted. And hmmm, oh crap those apps are gone! Gahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of them are...

Clock & alarms.

ADW Launcher errors

Disappearing menu after exiting a 3D game or Dolphin broswser or watching any youtube video.

Touchscreen is more sensitive.

I'm not exactly sure but it seems sound has a little bit loud.

Extremely fast drained battery life ( About 1 day ), ( very little bit better )

Android market seems faster.

After unlocking screen menu comes very smoothly

and now I seen one time problem with Sygic Drive mobile 10

When I've tried to open options menu then device has rebooted himself.

After reboot it's fine.

Excellent work.

[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
I still cannot figure out why this, and only this rom, will not connect to my router at home.

ANY other rom, be it Cyan eclair, Slide roms, hero roms... all have no problem. But since froyo popped up, It just times out when getting an IP address everytime on my WPA/WPA2 security....
[G1 Android Development] slowjazz:
rc2 - getting there

Almost there..

so far.....(this appears to be a MT3G issue)

No wipe - problem with google account still missing. No reboot this time!

Wipe - you need to wait until you see the 3g data pop up and then log into google.

Titanium backup/restore - download from market, first time use caused a reboot.

a little better this time. Still have a problem where it restores one app and then comes back with null apps.

This time tho you can return back to main screen and then all apps to restore show up. (before it froze and you had to reboot)

so.. its a pain doing things one at a time, but it works.
[G1 Android Development] akivlin:
I've attached a small CM6 RC2 update as a test fix for the random freezing/reboots.

Copy it to your SD card and boot to recovery to flash it.

If you install this update but still experience random reboots I'd appreciate if you could upload a copy of /proc/last_kmsg to http://android.pastebin.com and post the link to it in here. A logcat up to the point of the reboot would be very helpful too.

Autorotate

Hi,

CM6 RC2 is a great ROM (as always !) :)

For me, everything works fine (Magic 32B)

However, I've a litlle problem with all Froyo that I've tested :

The rotation from vertical to horizontal is very quick, but for the other side, it's very long (several seconds). Don't know why...

I've try to reinit rotate settings in AmonRa recovery, but there's no change.

I can't see anything in logcat...

If someone has a solution. Thanks !

(I've done some search on the forum before posting and nothing found...)

On RC2 does anyone still have the problem of not receiving messages as i still am. I am on T-Mobile.

Also when calls are coming in how come there are no touch screen controls but you have to use hardware buttons. If there is a setting can someone point me to it.

Thanks.

[G1 Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
so to get this rom running perfectly, how should the SDCARD be partitioned and what settings should be enabled/disabled ie: jit, compache?
[G1 Android Development] yohshua:
is the missing text message fixed here or not?
[G1 Android Development] foxtrickle:
That's really subjective. If you want to leave your partitioning the same, it should be fine. Eventually, apps2ext will be back in a more permanent manner I would assume.

As far as jit goes, play with it and see what you like. When it comes down to it, you won't see much of differnce on our phones unless you use larger apps frequently.

I've tried to avoid compcache in favor of swap because compcache seems to slow the phone down after a while.

Here are some settings that others have recommended:

ADW Launcher Settings:

Screen Preferences

Hide Status Bar = OFF

No Animations

Autostretch = ON

Desktop Scrolling Speed = 400

Desktop Overshoot = 15

System Preferences

"System persistent"

Drawer Settings

Horizontal Drawer = ON

Animated Drawer = OFF

Show App Labels = ON

Fade App Labels = OFF

CyanogenMod Settings:

Input Settings

EVERYTHING IS TURNED OFF

Performance Settings

EVERYTHING IS TURNED OFF -> especially dithering

VM heap size = Default

Hi guys,

Ive installed this new ROM and also the Google Addon but i am unable to get passed the welcome to Android screen where i have to Touch the Android to go to the next step.

I can press onto the Green Android figure and it highlights, but nothing happens apart from the repetitive hand one screen telling me to touch the android.

Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] foxtrickle:
Did you do a full wipe first? Specifically "fastboot erase system -w"

I've heard these problems can occur without a FULL wipe. At least coming form any ROM other than RC1 or a nightly.

You can try this, but I don't know if it actually works. It was on Gizmodo.com the other day:

"You can skip the original tutorial/setup by touching all four corners of the black background behind Andy.

Starting with the upper left corner, tap. Move to the upper right corner, tap.

Lower right corner, just above the Change Language button, tap. Lower left corner, above the emergency dial, tap.

Just do it kind of quick, and you can manually "activate" the phone."
[G1 Android Development] purav:
hello foxtrickle

No i didnt do a full wipe using clock work recovery.

Im assuming if a do a full wipe, this will remove all my apps etc...
[G1 Android Development] ghostin:
Great Rom, my first time rooting and romming my MT3G. Can anyone tell me is there a way to make it faster by cutting down some of the background apps? I know my MT3G is not as fast as the newer 'droid phones on the market.

Also I get prompted to update to 1.6, I thought the ROM was 2.2 or something like that.

Any help would definitely be appreciated, and Cyanogen (and those that helped) great work.

Fix reboot on touch android screen

Ok people... I have watched and watched and watched some more as many of you complain of the system reboot upon trying to log into Google.

HERE IS HOW TO FIX IT:

Skip the login! And leave the phone alone for about 5 minutes.

Once the initial first boot has finished, then you are golden.

Now, go into settings, then accounts and sync, and add your Account there.

Leave the phone sit again for about 5 minutes or so, depending if you have 3g coverage or not.

Once the sync icon is done, then reboot. You are now good to go!
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
Sounds to me like you didnt install this lol
[G1 Android Development] pratikworld:
Hey. My G1 has been giving me touchscreen problems. Say if I wanna select something in settings, it select something a couple of rows above it.

And if I lock and unlock my screen, it works fine for sometime. Then again gives trouble.

This problem is irrespective of whatever ROMs I flash. Although the problem gets unbareable while using sense ROMs.

Is this problem common to all G1s?
[G1 Android Development] foxtrickle:
fastboot wipe is not done through recovery, it is done through fastboot.;)

It will wipe the apps that are installed on the phone, but if your apps are on ext than the will not be erased. Either way, apps will need to be reinstalled because, currently, apps2ext is not natively part of CM6. You could try Firerat's script, but I haven't had a chance yet.

What ROM were you coming from? You could always nandroid back if things don't work out. And in doing so you could use an app like Titanium to backup your apps with and reinstall when your back on CM6.
[G1 Android Development] ghostin:
Why would you say that? I got the link from Unlockr. Pulled straight to the 1st page of this thread where I flashed it.
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
From the home screen press the menu button then go to: settings / about phone/ android version.

And make sure it says 2.2

If it says 1.5 Or 1.6 then you'll have to try installing again.
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
If you need help installing, search the forum or Google for rooting guides and if you still need help, I'd be more than happy to answer anything I can.
[G1 Android Development] ghostin:
It says 2.2, do I need to reflash? Also did I miss something? I just ran the Unlockr guide. I have other Roms on my SD Card, would that affect it?

Reading the first post, its basically the same steps, and I am using Amon-Ra's Recovery.
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
Having the other roms on the SD card shouldn't hurt.

I've never seen the problem of it trying to make people update :)

So if you want to try reflashing the rom it may help. But I'm not completely sure on that one.

Making it run faster is easier though. First either enable swap or compcache. (Compcache is easier but works differently) for compcache just go to settings/ cyanogenmod settings/ performance / conpcache

If you'd rather have swap then it's easiest to download the app "swapper 2" and I can walk you through the settings.
[G1 Android Development] Abhi_UK:
I just tried that but i still have to use the answer or reject call button. It says whos calling and thats it. Is a restart required maybe?

Are you using it just to know if it works.

Edit: I see it has more touch screen options for when calling someone but not for incoming calls.
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
Also open your app drawer and find "spare parts" open it and change the transitions. And window animations to fast.
[G1 Android Development] ghostin:
Thanks firefly for your help.

CM6 Running good

I'd just like to share my experiences. I posted a few days after CM6 RC1 was uploaded with the issues I had with that version, and I must say, I don't have any of those issues. Everything installed fine and no force closes yet.

First off, it was a good thing that CM6 was updated yesterday, cuz I was messing with my phone today and my French SP Froyo rom totally went fritz on me and started looping on boot. Thankfully, I had a nandroid backup from yesterday. So, I did a fastboot wipe and restored my nandroid. I then used Titanium backup to backup all my apps and data.

From there, I:

1. Did a factory reset/wipe (and others) from recovery

2. Flashed CM6 RC2

3. Flashed GAPPS 3-1

4. Rebooted

5. Waited

6. Waited some more

7. Skipped the Google login

8. Connected to my wifi (WPA2)

9. Opened Market and entered my Google credentials.

10. Downloaded Titanium Backup

11. Ran Batch install of all apps and data

12. Rebooted

13. Activated Mobile Defense

14. Rebooted into recovery

15. Fixed uid mismatches

16. Restored SMS using SMS backup

17. Restored my widgets on the home screen

So far, no hitches, no force closes, and sms works (will continue to test). I'm gonna try to email Swype again to see if they have a fix for getting my Swype beta to work properly.

Before I forget, I think that the battery issue was not the CM6 RC1's fault. I think it was having Froyo automatically download the apps after installation. I had about 70+ apps that were trying to download and restore according to the logcat, and I think this might be the cause for the market fc's as well. This is based on my experience with the French Froyo SP as well as RC1.

As soon as all the apps finished, battery life was about the same as with CM5.0.8. So, either disable the Google data backup/restore, or just wait for all the apps to fully restore after flashing CM6.

Finally, thanks again to all the devs responsible for putting together this awesome rom!!!

[G1 Android Development] orayo:
Do you know Titanium Backup? It's free:D
[G1 Android Development] :
Does Titanium Backup restore HomeScreens, I didn't think so. Maybe I didn't wait long enough. LauncherPro does. It is one of the first things I run after restoring apps to phone thru TB.

Ken
[G1 Android Development] cigar3tte:
It does restore Home screens, you just have to pick the right app to backup. Home is the one for default launcher, usually marked green since it's not an installed app, but built-in app.
[G1 Android Development] Adamsville MITM:
co sign!

can I use the eclair gallery from CM508?
[G1 Android Development] :
cigar3tte,

Sorry, I am still coming off meds from back surgery. So, missing what you are saying. Are you talking about TB only restoring the default homescreen, or just the apps with the green symbol (Market Apps) beside them under apps in TB. LP restores all five of my screens exactly the way they were. Sorry for my lack of understanging, I am a show me guy, but not from Missouri.

Ken
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
I have a Gallery 2D from a post on Cyanogenmod.com, but it doesn't have multitouch. I guess I can try to push the one from 508 to see how it goes.

Edit: I just pushed the one from 508 and it works just fine as far as i can see. Has multi-touch too.
[G1 Android Development] B6gSix:
yes you should be able to. just copy the gallery.apk from 508 then delete gallery from 600rc2 and paste new. then resign and flash and post results.

but i dont understand the new gallery is faster than expected. it loaded 150 pics in my dcim folder in 5 or 6 seconds. thats impressive.:confused:
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
It might be faster, but I hate the way it takes so long to show the images. They are all dithered/low quality for quite a few seconds. Try swiping through a few images, you don't get quality until you wait a bit. I also think that the image view is never as good as with the 2D Gallery too. I don't want eyecandy, I want to be able to view my pictures.
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
I can live with the Gallery, but I am sure getting tired of looking at "Starting download.." in the Market.
