That is one thing I had to change. I went with Launcher Pro as well. Used it in 5.08 and in V6 it simply rocks. :)
[G1 Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Page 139 is fun so far...
[G1 Android Development] studjuice:
what is that? i need a post number lol, i only have 28 pages (50 per page)

hmmm another person who prefers launcher pro :)
[G1 Android Development] samsci:
Again, it is a personal choice. I know others who prefer ADW, but I have tried both and just like launcher pro over it. I still have ADW on my phone as well as Open Home from when I was orginally on Version 1.4 of Cyan's Roms.
[G1 Android Development] studjuice:
yeah i'm gonna keep both. people will have an option to choose when they push home. yay making people happy! :)
[G1 Android Development] opasha:
Yeah, definitely. I just got into using Launcher Pro. I have always heard it was faster in terms of screen scrolling and overall home screen loading. I believe ADW just has too much built into it which is why it bogs down. It's still a great launcher, just doesn't work too well with the latest froyo in my opinion. Also, what I really like about Launcher Pro, which i didn't know about before is the sliding custom dock where you can add pretty much anything to it and customize the icons as well without better cut to give it your personal look. Before those icons were just set in stone and could not be changed, so it's definitely nice to have it customized. Also, the gmail, phone, and sms apk's have notification numbers if enabled, which is pretty cool- gives that hero/windows like feel.

yeah, smart solution, which is why i initially kept both in case one started acting funny. always nice to have the extra option to switch without having to download it from market (which does run slower than having it on your system from what ive read and experienced).

edit: also, remember, our devices are "similar" but that does not mean everything will run perfect for everyone. sometimes our phones act random or glitchy because of who knows what. comparisons that are done for roms don't always hold 100% truth to them. so if one works for one person amazingly, that doesn't mean it will be 100% like that for you. just some simple advice for those who disagree alot on what runs better on their device yada yada :)
[G1 Android Development] studjuice:
Is that even with the my recommended custom adw settings to make the scrolling speed faster?

I like the customization of adw, i can make it as fast as i need it to be. but on g1's i can see how it's not as effective.

It seems to me they are extremely similar. adw has a dockbar you pull up instead of a scrolling bar for unlimited apps.

But launcher pro doesn't have the dots to change pages :(

but the notification numbers thing is awesome! i'm gonna have to spend more time inside launcherpro :P

i'm testing it out now, if everything is A-OK i'll upload it in the next 15 minutes. i'm just kinda worried about running out of space in /system. we already know how fun that is in the community froyo thread
[G1 Android Development] opasha:
yeah i hear you. it's really a pros and cons of each one type of deal. whichever options you prefer better is what you go for in the end. also, yeah, i always setup my roms in the most efficient way possible with lowest brightness, no animations, proper scrolling speed like you suggested, etc. i've been around long enough now to know that you need to do alot of testing before you start busting someone's balls :D.
[G1 Android Development] studjuice:
@opasha

alright, i wasn't saying that you didn't i was just making sure that you were saying its faster than the optimized adw to make sure i'm getting the info correct :P

looks like i'll be adding launcher pro :)

feel free to post more experienced recommend settings in the community thread lol
[G1 Android Development] :
Anyone solve the browser/flash issue. I have an N1, but having problems finding posts on this.hhave not gone past this page yet. Keep getting interrupted by something called work and don't want to lose this thread.

I flashed cm6 and gapps from cyan webpage thru amon. Browser doesn't load pages correctly, off center and all mobile. There is a pink bar at top saying errors on page and I have no flash.

Flash worked great on my N1 with Modaco r21 rom.

I am getting tired of searching and may reflash to Modaco. Would like to give cm6 a try, but need browser and want flash.

Should I reflash gapps, wipe or no wipe? Or, can you re dl browser only. I have reinstalled flash, no help.

If it would help using adb, I am no good at it and would need exact syntax.

Any ideas?

Ken
[G1 Android Development] opasha:
haha, i didn't mean what i said in a negative manner whatsoever. it was just an informative response for you, and so that people know i don't make crap up without a base for my reasoning :).

edit: oh yeah about the phone.apk lag...do you know if that is a problem happening for others? is it something from your rom or all froyos? i tried the first test froyo a while ago and its phone.apk was quite quick. as soon as i got the phone call it showed who it was immediately. with this one...the first time it took 3 rings and then showed the screen by the fourth ring and then only like 1 ring was left to answer. after i opened up the dialer to have it in memory...it took about 2-3 rings to finally show the person calling. so having the dialer in memory obviously helps, but just wondering why it was so laggy. thanks.

ps: btw im using your 2.3 version. i just saw that you have a 2.3.1 version up....what did you change?
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
hey i'm just a noob in installing this CM6

after reading alot of comments i'm unable to decide wether i should have fat32 parition or ext partition? and if i have only fat32 how to get my apps back? does they restore on my fat32 partition?

and most importantly many guys say that swap is always useful for the lagging in the launcher and to get to the home screen , i'm using it on cm 5.0.8 with swappiness 60 from swapper2...

can anyone please explain if i need to repart my sdcard and if yes can i have swap partition? and do i need to get an ext partition also? and most importantly is there need for swap for CM6 ?

i knw these should sound like noob questions but i'm really confused
[G1 Android Development] studjuice:
well some people are gonna think your making up crap without a base no matter what lol

and i put the changes in my OP if you ever need to see them.

but your right about the phone lag. it seems like there is an unneccessary amount of lag in it, and it didn't used to be there. there should be a renice script setting it to -18. gotta make sure that's working. and i guess i can take out another script thats making the launcher at a 0 priority now that people have launcher pro. that ought to help a little too.

guess now i have to reupload..
[G1 Android Development] surfingbluedream:
moving from cm 6 to cm 5

This may be a bit random, but I'm curious so I'll ask...

I tried out cm6 for 2 days and for various reasons decided to go back to 5.0.8. In doing that I lost root so I had to nuke everything and start from scratch. Wiped device, wiped sd and flashed right. Here is the odd part, when I finally booted into cm5 I had apps automatically restored from pre cm6 (expected) but wallpaper and settings were restored as well. I don't use a back up prog like titan so how did it do this? Is this part of the gmail sync? (thought that was only email and contacts) or is there some sort of cache or partition that I didn't touch some how?

[G1 Android Development] opasha:
oh one more thing before you do. the latinIMEgoogle.apk is broken in your 2.3 version. the voice feature doesn't work....it just stays as the crossed out microphone. it never gets ready to let you speak.

edit: sorry, i was a bit late, seems you already uploaded the new version 2.3.2
[G1 Android Development] jon6206:
@G1 Agreed LOL

10 CHARS ;)
[G1 Android Development] studjuice:
that isn't because of the keyboard. that was fixed in cyanogen's gapps #3. there is a link to it in the OP. and i do hope that's why. it happened with someone else and that was the fix. and it works for me. if it's not that's kinda bad lol. if it's not, fastboot wipe!?

@opasha i'm uploading the new one. it'll just replace the old one and you'll know because it won't be yellow :)

(it's uploaded. phone might be a tiny bit faster? but after the first time, it is quite fast) i'll look into it more tomorrow
[G1 Android Development] surfingbluedream:
you'll end up having clockworkmod to partition the sd on the new rom. I don't think that the fat32 partition is recognized by the new rom but i'm sure someone else will correct me if im wrong. I still had problems with moving apps to the sd both ways, ext4 and through the clockworkmod. The clockwork mod gives an option to set swap when you partition it, but it didn't seem to matter either way still had lag.

Hope this helps:)
[G1 Android Development] katsumeiyo:
Ignorant, u sound a lot like Kang though.. lol

You are the one talking lemme see your benchmarks and what you are using to determine the response times, and the functionalities of the ROM. Once you get that, send it to me i'll do my test and we will compare. You are there making assumptions, out of the air flowing into ur stomach... bottom line is you don't even know what the heck you are talking about..

The only ROM that could pretend to come close to this froyo is cyanogens 4.1999, if u been in the game for a long time, u'll know what i'm talking about.

Here are the Areas where this ROM Smokes others

1- response time

yes my phone has never been this quick. if u ever heard of LinPack, try that, and upload ur numbers, lemme see what ur kang butt got for me.

2- the redesign

its just fabulous, texting, im'in er thing is more cripy clear

3- Response of the home screen.

with the new launcher, all roms now have a better response time coming out of applications as hard to exit as Sherpa, or Pandora.

4- The Managers

CyanogenModSettings, CMPart, Froyo application settings, those make me regret ever buying appmanagers from the market, and never needed a task killer again after this.

5- New Implementations of FAT32 vs ext4

I'm a linux frenzic, and i know the miracles that ext partitions do, but on our sd's to be able to dump all on the same partition gives a better response, at this point the only reason why u would wanna switch back, will be because of backing up apps that aren't on market

6- Multitasking

It is much faster to start and exit apps. when you hold the home button, the response of that screen that comes up is not faster than eclair, or donuts, but that's a rendering issue, its not even about speed in this case. and if u dig in CMparts you can change that easy..

7- You see I hate Kangs that polute the air. If you are going to smack talk, at least know what you are talking about, and if u wanna be ignorant, don't attack or bang on anyone that say they love this rom, they are each entitled to their own opinion. In your case, there is a difference between opinion and respect for the OPs.. and you crossing that line, u need a woopping.. sorry to bring this in here but are u a Palin Fan? u sure sound like one? lol

8- I'm most likely not going to read this thread after my post because i know its going to be full of your garbage, so if ur looking for a flaming attraction, try to hook up with drizzy and kang..
[G1 Android Development] opasha:
thanks bro appreciate it. yeah i also forgot your rom didnt have gapps and it was the finalgapps that i flashed that had problems with the latingoogleime. i got the working one and added it. thanks for the quick upload.
[G1 Android Development] bugmenever:
This has nothing to do with space, ext loads faster than fat and you can't move some apps to the external storage without it.

Linpack might be great for crunching big files but day to day operations is quite the contrary.

I agree the design is for the better !

Now heres where we part ways. On the MyTouch LE models ever since 5.0.7 performance in physics and response has taken a turn for the worst.

:) I partially agree.

:) Agreed journaling eats SD cards.

Also agree. :)

Blame BP :P

And so It grows!

Mate,

I installed LocaleSwitch from the Market, it has Australia\en_AU predefined, my News and Weather Widget is giving me weather for Ryde NSW.
[G1 Android Development] Abhi_UK:
In my legend rom it is much quicker. I don't know why maybe because of ADW Laucher in CM6.

In CM6 i do get 4.5 mflops with linpack but it is slower in experience.

In legend rom i get 2.6 mflops but with no lag including when receiving calls.

Reboot cycle caused by wifi

I upgraded from my perfectly working CM5.08.

Installed CM6 and got into a reboot cycle. I was advised this was caused by an old version of gapps and so followed all instructions. Fastboot wipe, recovery wipe, reinstall CM6.

I didn't reinstall gapps.

It all worked fine until I turned on the wifi and logged in to my router.

Then it got into an endless reboot cycle.

Has anyone found a fix for this?

If I wipe in recovery and reboot it works fine but I'd really like wifi.

Thanks

For real. I've got a MT3G and get that question all the time; "You don't use apps2sd?! Why do you even have a rooted phone?!" It's like people think it's mandatory or something.

Now...this "download all" button. Let's see...I have an 8GB SD card AND a MT3G. Now, if I partition the SD Card entirely to EXT...then maybe, just maybe....

iPhone Junky: "Got an app for that?"

Me: "I HAVE THEM ALL!" Muh ha ha ha!"

Ah, the possibilities... :D

Is Maps patched? Last time I tried using it..It rebooted my phone.
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
im not getting how to partition my sdcard without ext and have a swap partition? or should i use swapper2 for swap?
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
If you want an actual partition, first copy everything off your SD Card (the FAT32 partition) onto your computer because you're gonna be wiping it clean.

Then, reboot into your Amon Ra recovery and do a nandroid backup (just in case). Then, choose partition and follow the instructions. Since you do not want an EXT partition, when it asks how much space for one, use the track ball to set it to zero. Then move on to swap, use the track ball to set it to whatever you like (I'd say 32MB or 64MB is sufficient) and then it will use the remaining space for the FAT32 partition.

Once it's done partitioning, don't reboot yet. Enable USB and copy all your stuff back onto your (now blank) FAT32 partition. Then, reboot.

To enable swap, yes, you can use Swapper2 from the Market (free). Go into its advanced settings, check off "use partition" and set the location's very last number as the number 2 (it will end in the number 3, by default, but since you have no EXT partition, swap is in the second partition). Set your swappiness to whatever your heart desires from the menu and then press Swapper2's ON button. Bingo. To check that it's working, press the menu button, then "info." The second set of numbers is the swap. If they're all 0's, just press the ON button again.

P.S. - Make sure to set Swapper2 to enable on boot (in its main settings window) and uncheck all the cr*p about reformatting, unmounting, and creating a new file in Swapper2's settings, as well.

[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Well at least I know you don't know what linpack measures which makes half your statements pretty invalid. But hey you not being here makes my day, thanks!
[G1 Android Development] bugmenever:
This isn't necessarily important due to space requirement. A apps2sd ext mechanism is needed because in some cases some apps will not or can not be run from external storage via the native controls.

A good example is some apps from google that take up about 5+ or more megs eg: google skymaps or maps and some others. Some apps ive seen go all the way up to 20+ megs and more.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Um...dude, I think you missed the entire point of my post.
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
acc. to what u said should i go for fat32 for this rom? or wait for the ext apps2sd method to come up?
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
What about apps built to run on Froyo...does that mean they include instructions themselves to be setup on external or internal space depending on the users preference?
[G1 Android Development] lozzd:
Works fine for me... If you can't get it working with a re-install/data clear send the log my way and I'll send it to our mobile dev guy.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
You can do both. You can partition your card with an EXT partition now, but it won't be used. If they implement apps2ext, though, then you're set up already. If they don't end up using it, you can always backup your FAT32, reformat, copy your crap back over, reboot. Easy as pie. Or you can just sit tight and wait.
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
if i wanna keep only the fat32 how can i backup and restore my apps that are on the ext partition now?
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Astro File Manager, Estrong's File Manager or, my preference, the donate version of Titanium Backup. The first two have built in app managers that you can use to make backups to SD card. Titanium Backup backs up all the data that goes with them, as well (which is why I love it).

Note: I've had a problem restoring a few apps in CM 6 with Titanium Backup. I don't believe it's the program, I think it's the ROM (others have had issues, too). I think it'll be fixed soon, either way. So, I still recommend TB, but I'd also use one of the other two, as well. Backups of backups are always good!

P.S. - You can also try this from terminal:

su

mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard

mount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext <-- Substitute ext2 or ext4 for ext3 if you use it

cd /sd-ext

tar cvf /sdcard/ext.tar

...which makes a file called "ext.tar" on the root of your SD card containing all your apps from the ext partition. Then, to restore them to internal memory:

su

mount -o remount,rw /data/app

cd /data/app

tar xvpf /sdcard/ext.tar

Now, be forewarned, I don't know how CM 6 would handle this or the app-private stuff; I haven't tested it in this setting. So, again, as always nandroid before doing this and backup another way, as well. If you did a nandroid+ext or a bart backup prior, it will backup your ext partition, as well. So, worse case, you can always repartition back to what you had, then nandroid/bart restore.

If anyone else has input on my terminal instructions - like for instance, if I typed something off my rocker - let me know!

I am using Wifi and logged into my router at home with no issues. Have had it connected since the first time installed. Only difference I did was installed the latest Gapps.
[G1 Android Development] ftruck90:
Yeah on everything prior to cm 6 my recommendation would be to use titanium backup but it doesn't seem to want to work for me anymore so I've been using astro.
[G1 Android Development] erickr56:
Has anyone had the ROM just for some reason letting itself get unlocked with the menu key, even though you have it set not to? It still happens even on reboot.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Man, I do hope that gets fixed soon. There's a couple apps that I've got data for that I can't export to a backup file (so I can just re-import the data after a restore from anything other than TB). Otherwise, I'd bite the bullet, use Astro and go buck wild with CM 6.

[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Heh heh heh. Good. Here's one that made mine just a minute ago.

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Apple (but I do hate Steve Jobs; he's becoming the computer world's version of Mel Gibson) and I'm not a Microsoft fan (or foe), either (although Linux is my second wife); I work in IT and I just get soooooo tired of Apple fanboys/girls saying, "I have a Mac, I can't get a virus!" I usually just respond, "In time, my friend...in time." Well, the time has come!

[G1 Android Development] Remanifest:
The smoothest install I've had since JF 1.4.3.

I backed up my FAT32 and EXT4, fired up gparted & deleted the EXT4 & Swap partitions, then grew the FAT32 partition to fill the SD Card.

After that, I rebooted the phone to recovery, did all 5 wipes, flashed the update & the gapps, and everything worked perfectly right out of the gate.

I should also note that I waited for about 5 minutes before I put in my SIM card PIN, then waited another 5-6 minutes before I put in my Google Account info into the setup screen. After setup was complete, I waited for about 10 minutes before I touched anything. Market & Titanium Backup worked without a hitch, as well as gapps in general. No problems at all here.

Awesome :)
