I believe OTA updates get written to the cache partition. I have never verified that, but you can check the size the Cache partition before and after - either through terminal (don't remember the command) - or just download Quick System Info from the market.

I have never had a CM rom try to download the OTA update. Enom's ROM will load the OTA, but will fail to install since not running stock recovery.
[Nexus One Android Development] defro:
Could it be the google apps that override CM settings? I flashed the most recent signed gapps zip file over CM 6 N1 - do you use them?

I didn't install any other apps before I did this test so it has to be either the ROM or the gapps (I did a full wipe before flashing too).

/etc/hosts file to block OTA download attemps

Here is a hosts file to block access to android.clients.google.com.

This should stop the background downloads until the fix is mainstreamed.

The rest of the hosts listed are for blocking adds.

Thanks to phaelox for the original list.
[Nexus One Android Development] Mokurex:
Sorry for the noob question, but what do we do with the host file?
[Nexus One Android Development] codington:
I have not flashed Google Apps for ages - everything updates from the market - I still have plenty of space on DATA so I don't mind the apps install there vs SYSTEM.

I've never had CM try to download an OTA and I don't think flashing the Google Apps would wake the ROM to see OTA updates either. Something very strange is going on. You can trust that if others were getting bombarded with the OTA while running CM, there would be lots of discussion about it. Enom's ROM has an option to support download of available OTA updates - though they can't be installed without the stock recovery. I don't know where this setting may exist - it seems buried in the code. Sorry to be of no help.
[Nexus One Android Development] codington:
From the readme.txt burried in the attached:

I just installed and it does remove the ads from applications which previously had them visible - however it whacked my market access as well. Kept getting network errors. Removed the file and replaced with the original and market is back. Proceed with caution.

Background data usage

I've been having what sound like the same problem as you,

after boot up or at first wake in the morning my data connection downloads around 4mb with nothing to show for it...

with all sync settings disabled and background data turned off this still happens, spare parts shows as media use.

fresh n clean install of cm6 stable and gapps with no other apps still give the problem, so tried just clean install of cm6 without gapps- this worked fine no hidden down loading but the second i installed gapps the problem returns!!

so im sure it is something to do with the gapps...

anyone have any ideas or thoughts?!?!

it is an ota..... just found the file with Root explorer in the cache file- so deleted it n rebooted just to see my nexus download 4.6md went back to cache and there was the file again!

going to flash back to froyo stock n try to get the ota to happen then flash cm6 again... dont know if its possible or if it will make any difference...

stock froyo dint want to do ota... so why is cm6 trying to ota c8847c98b948.signed-passion-frg83-from-frf91.c8847c98.zip

i dont know how to stop this happening but need a fix as for now nearly all of my vodafone unlimited (capped at 500mb) data package is being eaten up by these failed ota attempts!!
[Nexus One Android Development] Mokurex:
So it seems the only solution right now is to flash CM6 w/o the gapps and download them manually through the market? That would kinda suck since not every app is on the market.
[Nexus One Android Development] obivader666:
Ota background data problem- my fix for now

This has been driving me mad for about a week but today ive managed to find a solution of sorts:)

So for all those having the problem with An ota for FRG83 repeatedly downloading and then failing just to repeat over and over!!!:mad:

HERS WHAT I DID

* Download and flash one of the Nightly builds that are based on FRG83.

Im now running Nightly 185 (NO idea how many bugs there are in this build) this has worked for me I have rebooted severaltimes since without any data being downloaded and the ota file is no longer present in the cache file:D

you may want to have a search around and see what you think is the most stable nightly is, but for now this has stopped the ota attempts :cool:

hope this works for you guys!!
[Nexus One Android Development] defro:
Yeah, you're right. Blacklisting android.clients.google.com seems to kill the market too.

I guess we'll just have to flash a nightly based on FRG83 for the OTA to stop dowloading.
[Nexus One Android Development] obivader666:
The newest version of the nightly is running fine for me at the moment.

after applying a few metamorphs and enabling all of my sync settings, everything is back to normal. :D
[Nexus One Android Development] mtw4991:
Hi, my friend just got his Nexus with an unlocked bootloader running Froyo 2.2.1 and FRG83 and baseband 4.06.12_7. It DOES NOT have a custom recovery such as Amon_Ra's, just the stock recovery such as with the "apply sdcard:update.zip" on it. I have flashed amon_ra's 1.7, 1.8 and 1.8.1 recoverys but it keeps booting back to the stock recovery image.

I "think" I need to install superuser prior to flashing the recovery.img, but I only have Modaco's Superuser for FRF83, will that work? A bit of help needed, plsthx!
[Nexus One Android Development] djmcnz:
delete /system/recovery.img
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
You need to root the device and delete the following two files:

/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

/system/recovery-from-boot.p
[Nexus One Android Development] mtw4991:
I'm trying to root it, but not sure how anymore...it's been 9 months since I did mine. His has 2.2.1 and FRG83 installed, with unlocked bootloader. Do I need to use the 1-click method? Rageagainstthecage? Kinda confused here:o
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
1-click does not work with FRG83. And besides, this is the wrong thread. Go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=792016

GPS Problem

Hey guys,

I'm still having trouble getting my GPS to work even after the fix described on this site: http://wccftech.com/2010/09/09/solvi...enmod-6-nexus/

When I open up Google Maps, the GPS icon keeps blinking and it seems to get my location to the nearest 90 meters, which is accurate enough to get directions or local restaurants, but I canNOT use Google Navigation any more! Which really sucks because I really like using the Google Nav on my phone...

Are there any other fixes you guys know about? I wonder how the GPS "kind of" works on Google Maps, but doesn't work well enough to work on Google Nav...

Thanks for the help!

Recently on cm6 I've been getting an unresponsive touch screen in the mornings when my alarm goes off, I cannot dismiss, snooze or do anything but use hardware buttons. Gonna wipe now, was just checking if there was a new build out or if anyone knows this problem
[Nexus One Android Development] crachel:
this happens to me when

1) I'm in poor cell coverage

2) WiFi is enabled

its yet to happen on pershoot's latest kernel, you could try that here
[Nexus One Android Development] bmozaffari:
No service, can someone help?

I've been on CM 6 stable since it came out and all has been great, except that I've now traveled to Europe and things couldn't be any worse! Since arriving at the airport, I noticed that my Nexus One was not picking up a signal. I did a manual search and clicked the automatic network selection, all to no avail. The only message is a Toast messages of "Error while searching for networks". Can any one shed any light on what's going on? I have a developer version (free Google gift) of Nexus One running on tmobile US and am usually a California resident, though the above problem has been seen in Amsterdam and in France so far.

If it help eliminate other possibilities, I traveled to France 3-4 months ago with Nexus One running an older CM (I would guess 5.x) and all was good. On this trip, I've put my SIM car in someone else's phone (blackberry) and it works fine.
[Nexus One Android Development] obivader666:
Think your probably right, i didnt get any notifications as to what was being downloaded so for the first few days i was sure it was an app or summin else that "I" had done.... if i hadnt of found Defro's post here i'd be pulling my hair out now
[Nexus One Android Development] obivader666:
Like you I think Im just gonna run the nightlies for now, but its great to see that theres a solution for the guys staying on stable. this was driving me crazy till i saw your original post :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Deekayy:
I have the same problem using CM 6.0 . The GPS works fine but it sometimes puts me couple meters away from my location also, and the navigation does not work(keeps loading). Any solution to this problem? Kernel or radio update? I believe i'm still on stock on both of them.
[Nexus One Android Development] codington:
Try turning off "Use Wireless Networks" under Location & Security Settings / My Location - I think that should improve your location accuracy. Sorry no help for the Navigation issue - not available here in China. However, when I do try to run it, it reports back that it is not available in my country - so I assume it is working well enough to know it does not work here. I am running a nightly build - not CM6 stable.
[Nexus One Android Development] stefan75:
Hey my lockscreen wallpaper changed form my desktop wallpaper. Has anyone had this happen? How do I change it back to what my desktop wallpaper?

Try changing your wallpaper to something else - see if the lockscreen wallpaper follows. If it does, then change it back to the one you want. I have not had this happen.... just offering a suggestion to fix.

Thank you for the suggestion. I just restarted my phone and I went back to normal.

Skyfire stopped working after uninstalling stock browser

Posting this here since I am running CM6 on my Nexus. I uninstalled the stock android browser using Titanium Backup, now all I get is a black screen when starting Skyfire. Searched for a solution, could not find one in this thread (or outisde).

Anyone have this problem and know how to solve it?? I thought about reinstalling stock browser but do not know where to find de apk.
[Nexus One Android Development] crachel:
just extract the browser APK from the CM6 update zip

[Nexus One Android Development] mharrissmith:
Thanks, will do. Do you know if I just have to install it or copy it to system/app???
[Nexus One Android Development] crachel:
push it to system/app with adb. you might have to 'adb remount' to get rw privilege

since the browser resides on the system partition, simply clearing cache is sufficient for recovering storage space, really no reason to remove it unless you just want to
[Nexus One Android Development] mharrissmith:
Problem solved! Thanks for the help.

is there a kernel for cm6 that will allow me to run the htc camera app available on enoms rom?
[Nexus One Android Development] ATnTdude:
Just thought I'd post my custom brightness settings. Window Length is 10s. Sample interval is 1s. I had 2 goals: 1) no huge, sudden changes in illumination, which can be distracting. 2) Just the right balance of brightness and dark for most settings. I think I nailed #2 (though you mileage may vary since eyes vary), but #1 was limited by the fact that the light sensor isn't particularly sensitive.

Battery life doesn't seem to be radically altered from normal, but you can always set the brightness factor (third column of buttons, the ones going 20,30,40...255) 10 notches lower.

i appreciate all the work cyanogen and others have put into the Nexus, but dang when is Cyanogen dropping a new rom? i've been with cyanogen since the g1, got so bored i install rodriguez's rom, its very nice but has some irritating bugs. when is cyanogen dropping a new rom??

[Nexus One Android Development] mtw4991:
Mine are very, very close to yours and I agree with you. Couple of questions...

What did you set Reset Threshold to? mine is set to 1500 lux, fyi.

Do you have Allow Light Decrease checked? If so, what is Hysteresis set to? mine is set to 50%, fyi.
[Nexus One Android Development] starfarer:
guys guys...care to explain what are these for and how to find a value? I'm always frustrated with automatic settings. I'm after full brightness on daylight (probably default on auto is a bit lower) and a less brighter when on darkness compare to auto value which I find eye blinding.

Thanks.
[Nexus One Android Development] mtw4991:
Takes a bit of work to figure it out, lol, doesn't it:p. These settings do not use 0-100% for light levels, they use 0-255 so think of 125 as 125\255 = 49% of full brightness. The default level is 20 which is equal to 7.8%, I use 26=10%. Pretty easy to figure out this part, now on to the tough part:

Light Sensor Filter works like this:

You have a Window Length which is the average sensor reading of light levels during this time (I use 10seconds) and a Sample Interval which is the frequency (or how often) that the light level is checked (I use 1 second) during the Window Length. So in this example, the program checks the light level every 1 second for 10 seconds and sets an average light level or lux. OK? Now, you have the Reset Threshold that comes into play also. The Reset Threshold ranges from Off to 2500 lux (I use 1500). During the 10 second window lenght, an average lux (light level) is generated...say 800 lux. This average will not change until the deviation of the average is greater than 1500 lux (2300 lux). So, if I go from inside to outside and outside is 3000 lux, then 3000 becomes the new average, not 800. If I go back inside and go from 3000 back down to 800 lux, then a new average is generated. It helps keep the backlight levels from constantly changing up and down due to shadows, etc.

Allow Light Decrease and Hysteresis is a bit more complicated for me:

Checking the box allows the lights to decrease based on the Hysteresis settings(I use 50%). When decreasing the lights, the sensor levels will overlap each other by 50% and read that value before allowing the backlight to decrease. Example (I think):

I have 200-399 set to 60, which is 23.5%

I have 400-499 set to 70, which is 27.5%

If I'm at 475, the light sensor reading has to drop to below 237.5 (50% drop) before the program will allow the backlight to decrease at all and slows down the flicker between 23.5% and 27.5% preventing constant light/dim/light/dim cycles.

What I haven't looked into is whether the Light Sensor Filter settings and the Light Level settings are mutually exclusive or not. In other words, if I check Enabled AND Use Custom, do they work together (I think so) or does one override the other. Anyone know????

Hopefully, this helps as I'm not an expert by any means and this is the best explanation I could come up with. If I'm wrong about anything, please correct me.:eek:
[Nexus One Android Development] starfarer:
Thanks for explanation which I'm trying to understand. At this time just playing with your settings.
[Nexus One Android Development] mtw4991:
Here are my actual settings from Custom>Edit Other Levels...
[Nexus One Android Development] sknoslo:
I realize this isn't exactly the right place to ask this but I assume some of you might have done something similar.

Alright heres the deal, I used a one click root app a while back and have been running CM6 since. For several reasons, I now want to unlock my bootloader. I feel guilty having not used the official easy way that Google so kindly gave us! I also feel that some root permissions are screwed up from the one-click root. ( I could be wrong, I've just had a few issues that I couldn't fix that had to do with permissions )

So are there any steps I should take before unlocking my bootloader now or can I just go ahead and do it?
[Nexus One Android Development] Mokurex:
There's no prerequisite to unlocking the bootloader. If you wanna do it, then do it.

6.1 RC1 this tuesday.
[Nexus One Android Development] bsbtauldl1:
when 6.1 comes out......

whats the easiest way that people transition from one update/rom to another. I am on 6.0 and everybody recommends wiping data/cache. I do it all the time, but setting my phone back up takes at least 20 minutes. I have titanium. Should I just always back up all my apps through that?

Before anybody just says to let froyo do its thing, I just wanna say that its fine and dandy except for games and such that have data which doesnt seem to ever restore.

Also, I have to always reinstall swype and reenter my password/codes on apps that require (b of a, fb, twitter)

so, best/fastest way to transition from one version/rom to another????
[Nexus One Android Development] Mokurex:
Unless you're moving to a different rom altogether or experiencing boot loop, there's no need to wipe data. Wiping just cache & dalvik-cache would be sufficient.
[Nexus One Android Development] Amritttt:
No matter how many times I flash market YouTube and some Google gapps wont install I really don't know what is the problem please help to solve this problem
[Nexus One Android Development] shmigao:
Make sure you wipe cache and dalvik-cache before flashing gapps.

Make sure you downloaded the correct gapps zip and the md5 sum matches (to make sure the file is not corrupted)

Make sure you have sufficient memory free

Has anyone experienced any issues with sometimes not receiving SMS? Some people have told me they have texted me, but I never received those messages. I have wiped and reinstall several times. It is only ocurring on Cyanogen 6, as no issues occur when using enomthers ROM.

cyanogen posted like 4 times yesterday in the nightly thread. Some were having issues. Not sure why, prefect for me. He reads these here and there.

Also unless going from one rom to a completely differen't one. Like CM to some other dudes sense rom. then you wipe data.. I only wipe data if I have to or am having problems.. All other times and between cm versions/nightlys I only wipe cache and dalvik.

So far all is good here.

First time I've had a major issue with any Cyanogen Rom. I woke up this morning and my phone was frozen. I had to pull the battery to reset it. When it restarted 3/4 of my apps were gone and it had rolled itself back from 2.2 to 2.1 somehow. I had to do a complete wipe and reinstall 2.2 and google apps. Kinda bummed but, everything is all new again because I didnt have a backup with 2.2 on it. So I'm gonna have to reinstall alot of things manually.

Was holding out hoping that the next version would incorporate apps2sd on ext partition, but looking at the change long it doesn't appear that it will be implemented anytime soon if it ever is again.

How exactly does apps2sd work with froyo and cm6.x? I went into settings > cm settings> application settings> checked allow application moving and chose install location external.

Downloaded titanium backup from market and it installed internal on phone and not external

Loaded titanium backup and went into preferences and under restoration settings chose force to same location. My internal space on phone is filling up and apps are not going to the SD card. I prefer all the apps in one place and on the sd card. Am I missing something to get this working how I'd like? I'm coming from CM5.x.
