Issues with rc3

highly enjoy the look and feel of the newest version.

I seem to be experiencing a few minor issues. Most cases I come out from and unlock state, i always seem to find a message that my Handcent or other program running has stopped responding. When I open an application the phone seems to be put on pause until a window displaying the application is not responding, force close or wait. If i select wait it works for a few moments and then it is like the phone lags again. It is like every step of every process the phone freezes or lags. If I select the application menu it takes several seconds until I am able to scroll through the programs and select one.

There also seems to be severe lag as I need to wait 5-10 seconds for a response after trying to open the phone app and to then change between tabs. When scrolling between screens the phone stops responding for 15-30 seconds

Also on apps installed on the phone and not the SD card I loose widgets after reboots. I even loose the widget for power control after each reboot.

If anyone has some sugggestive settings perhaps have missed along the way I would appreciate it.

I am not running JIT or Compache, I am using swap.

Thanks for any help and assistance that can be provided.

flashed rc3. loving the update. thakns cyanogen, yet again!

when i started up...i got rid of the power control widget cuz it was takin to long to load. upon putting it in the trash...i got a pop up that says "widgets arent supported yet. sorry :)"

does any1 else get this? i think its from when i flashed nightlys before the official cm6 drop, but i could be wrong.
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
I did have the eternally loading widget problem the first time I booted. (I came right from RC2 and RC1 before that, haven't ever tried the nightlys)

but I never got the widgets arent supported message, I did find however that you can trash the widget and re-add it and it seems to work just fine, its never done it to me again even after rebooting a number of times.
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
you might try backing up things and wiping everything, then re-flash and see if that helps. you might even go so far as to re-download the files just in case.
[G1 Android Development] havikx:
yes... i re-added it to make it work. i'm pretty sure i remember getting the message in 1 of the first nightly builds, pre cm6 official....before they had widgets workin. its just pissin me off now cuz i know there is left over junk somehwere on my phone from that rom and i just cant figure out how to get rid of it. i wiped everything. /system /data /cache /Dalvik-cache

any1 know how to get rid of it?
[G1 Android Development] smartin4166:
What happened was that you inadvertently tried to assign your widget to one of the left and right action buttons. In ADW, you can change those buttons on the left and right side of the drawer bar/trash can simply by dragging them to it. If you don't line yourself up with the trash can properly you will sometimes slip over onto one of the buttons. I went through the same thing.
[G1 Android Development] julz:
having problems adding my MS Exchange account to RC3. Keeps force closing after I put in all the settings.

Anyone else have this issue? Was working fine on RC1
[G1 Android Development] havikx:
good call. i didnt realize that. you really have to line it up right over the trash can or else you will get that message. just re-enacted it a bunch of times. thank you.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
if you expect anything from me

type my name correctly

don't quote me just "loling"

and in anwser to your question, just get used to it, thats the way android does things.. if you have an iq say two deviations below average or above then try swap ( and if you don't know that is 70+ then don't )

is it really that difficult to navigate to the setting you need?

do you need to mess with settings all that often?

should someone make settings always remember the last bit you were in?

answer to all those questions is no, but if you want to contend that then please do

regards messaging, the app is not saving its state, you don't detail exactly where you are in messaging so I can't comment on it being appropriate

for instance, if you were reading a txt, then exited, then wanted to write a new txt would it be good if it opened at the point you were reading the txt? or do you think most people would like to be at the start?

For some reason my home button isn't working. I've tried practically everything and can't get my home button to work.

Any ideas?

Can a simple misspelling offend you that much? Perhaps he has dyslexia or something. Easy killer.
[G1 Android Development] txspaderz:
What if we quote you with a 'loling' :D
[G1 Android Development] NSingh95:
hahaha i guess ill just take that as a funny comment, but the funny thing is that i been looking for those things as well! hahaha
[G1 Android Development] grennis:
No, this is old tired advice that doesn't even apply to me and just confuses the issue.

My battery is fine on CM5 and it was even good enough with CM6-RC2.

However RC3 is terrible, I have to charge the battery every 4 hours or so.

And whoever suggested that I do not set it to backup/sync my google account: Yes, I know, I always uncheck that, and once again you are confusing and derailing the issue that...

RC3 battery life is TERRIBLE! FIX IT!
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
well, my battery life is fine, so problem is you or your battery/

FIX IT YOURSELF!.

I realise that this is beyond you, so stfu.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
I'm dyslexic , do not confuse dyslexia with being stupid or lazy.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
lol

edit: just an example

your question was stupid.

If you believe you are 'smart' then you are stupid, drunk or drunk and stupid.
[G1 Android Development] carman594:
I fixed the home button but now I can't get my Android Market working. I installed the Google update many times with no luck.

How can I get my Market back?
[G1 Android Development] Samerious:
Google Maps Crashing

When I open my Google Maps it often crashes. It often gets to the point where it looks like it's loading than just freezes. The little GPS Satellite isn't sending out greens bars anymore and my phone is completely frozen. Then my LED turns off and my whole phones reboots.

Also my News and Weather application is bust. The weather portion often does not have a location set to where I am even though I put in my zip code a few times. When I try to read a news article it will start loading then close out and go back to the News and Weather application.

The ROM is kind of laggy itself. It takes awhile for my screen to change positions from Vertical to Horizontal and vice versa. Also many other things are kind of slow like the Message application lags whenever I type.

The Market is really buggy. It takes 10 - 15 minutes to download an application that would normally take me about 2 - 3 minutes.

Things seem to be deteriorating. I've been using the ROM for about 5 days now

All the problems mentioned are persistent. Any suggestions on what I should do to fix them?

Memory issues

OK guys, don't kill me for asking this.

I have an issue with memory. As it sits, I have compcache on, VM heap at 32m, and running a 32mb SWAP with swappiness set to 60.

Right now I have, in running services, google messaging and android keyboard with an almost full red bar on bottom reading "Other: 53MB in 5 Avail: 0+0.00B in 0"

I can't run some games and the internet only displays some of larger content pages.

I wiped in full before installing RC3 and have tried different combinations of SWAP, compcache and VM heap sizes with no solution.

Am I missing something?:confused:
[G1 Android Development] grennis:
You seem tense. Share your feelings with the group. We feel your pain.
[G1 Android Development] Svensemann:
Ive got on Problem with this Rom, it got no Silentmode! Hope it will Fix in the next RC Version! But Cyanogen is god! Very Good Rom!:D
[G1 Android Development] Rapax:
Seems to differ from device to device. I had weird battery issues with CM5, sometimes draining so badly that I barely made it through the day without charging. Now on CM6-RC3, it's fine...usually I'm at around 70% battery charge after the first day.

Still...let us know when you find what's causing it and how to fix it ;)
[G1 Android Development] akescpt:
rom manager refuse to install cyan rc3. does it not work on 32b dream?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
stop blaming the rom for your battery issues, its not the rom others do not have the same battery issues you are having.

stop demanding a fix.. or learn how to 'fix' it yourself

Muppet.
[G1 Android Development] motoman234:
I think your problem is you have too much going on! I have compcache OFF, VM heap 16, JIT off and swap 32mb 60 swappiness and everything is running completely perfect for me.
[G1 Android Development] atoschev:
I had the same issue with battery life on CM6-RC3 (had to charge HTC Magic each 6 hours) but solved it by killing Mail application from processes.

After each reboot/shutdown you have to kill Mail app.

IMO: those who don't have configured POP/IMAP/Exchange accounts be saved from bad battery life.
[G1 Android Development] zerodi:
just installed RC3 on 2 Magic 32B's battery life seems fine, dunno whats wrong with that guys phone ( new battery or discharge 100% wipe battery stats then charge 100% poweroff- maybe do the trick ) ?:D
[G1 Android Development] rikkiboo2:
Ok my contacts are back on my car bluetooth display.

I do not know exactly how I fixed it !

Before the pairing with the car I remember changing some settings on MT3G in Contact app (like do not show image for contacts, sort by full name, ...). So I tried again through those settings and now it works again !? Weird.

If this can help...

What's wrong with market?

I can't find flash and chrome to phone...
[G1 Android Development] c0d3r:
err, i am using the RC3 on my G1 and its pretty superb. Stable and fast, however there is no market app or Google Talk :s … is it intentionally missing or did i do something wrong> They were there in RC2 (which crashed a LOT btw.. every reboot i had to wipe and restore :S ) ..

Even after flashing the Google addon, 20100816, im still missing the Gtalk and the Market on my G1 … rest are totally fine, and the rom is super fast … Hope to see a solution to this soon :s
[G1 Android Development] Evengard:
Seems like the multitasking patch was removed (

With a HUGE amount of swap (128 mb) the apps still close... Meebo IM and FBReader can't live together (
[G1 Android Development] jlacy76:
I have an extended battery, I have noticed more battery drain as well.
[G1 Android Development] akescpt:
did u install through the recovery console? which ebi1 are you using?
[G1 Android Development] jotusery:
Thanks

Switched to settings per your post. Thank you for help.
[G1 Android Development] mohsin125:
can we install flash player 10 with this on g1?
[G1 Android Development] jadephyre:
Noooo, Flash was not written for the G1 or the Magics Processor Architecture.

Flash 10 will never work on our Devices, you will have to get a Nexus One, Desire or Milestone for that...
[G1 Android Development] grennis:
Yes, this is the problem. CPU history shows Email app is consuming far more than it should. I have configured Exchange email. Oh and this was NOT a problem on RC2. You guys still think it's my battery eh?
[G1 Android Development] grennis:
No, this is not normal. This shows that Google still has not completely solved the negotiation issues with Exchange. Which I have been helping with (firerat) and have patched the email app myself (fixed it myself firerat). For more details see

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9455

and more specifically

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9718

They fixed one issue but may have caused another. It would help to get more detailed logs by going to the Accounts List screen, typing the word "debug" on the keyboard, and select detailed logging to a file. The logfile will be created on the root of the SD card. Start with that.
[G1 Android Development] ihatefanboys:
need help

hey all....im using a G1..with CM6 RC2.....phone suddenly just gave an error that the process.acore. has stopped unexpectedly...keeps force closing....cannot boot into recovery mode....freezes on the G1 screen.....only thing that does work is the screen where u hold the camera button and the power button.....any ideas how to work around this ???
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
Silent mode should work on this rom, I use it all the time.

when you first flash the rom you should be able to just push volume down until it vibrates once.

if that doesent work you might try re-flashing, or run through all of your settings.

when you turn the volume all the way down is it still ringing?

or is it just not vibrating?
[G1 Android Development] fahad123:
first of all... i apologize i misspelled ur name..

n u know what? just stop being rude...

n for the record... go to CM5.0.8 and observe the things i told u abt cm6 .. thats not the way ANDROID works... u can say thats the way CM6 works..

Best Regards.
[G1 Android Development] havikx:
yes. yes i do.

in the words of the great firerat...

"stfu" "muppet"

if you have a problem, you should go through the proper steps to fix it. dont come on the forums to post a vague problem you have, with no explination, and start runnin you mouth to the people who made your phone capable of runnin froyo in the first place... all because no1 fixed your problem for you.
[G1 Android Development] havikx:
and you sir, you need to get off your high horse. i dont think you have any grounds for telling firerat what to do based on you've only been on this site since last month. noob.

have a good day.
[G1 Android Development] tribalartgod:
WOW! We REALLY do have children posting in these forums... Please people, can we keep the childish argumentation to private messages or in person?? We are here in this particular thread to discuss CM6-RC3 damnit!

Back to the subject at hand...

Thank you everyone who has put this build together. I'm using this as a daily driver with a NAND of CM-5.0.8-DS just in case...

So far after 48 hours of use on my Dream/G1, I have only had 2 problems.

1. ADW Launcher FC's after EVERY boot

2. Market crashed 3 times in a row, but then has since corrected itself.

---

I have been running various Benchmarking programs on this build and trying to do as much multitasking as possible to see how much it can take. My hat is off to the CM team as this, IMHO IS in fact stable enough for a "stable release".

To the DEV's, because ADW launcher is a recurring issue when rebooting this phone and is a constant, if you would like a log as well as a copy of the NAND backup to inspect, please PM me and I will get this to you.

PLEASE NOTE: I have wiped and reinstalled this ROM and the same issue occurs.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
well, to be fair, I was being rude..

and not without intention, it really bugs me when people 'single' me out begging for me to solve their 'problem'

Battery issues and other stuff

1- I wiped everything using Amron recovery. then i flashed the rom and the g-apps, but all my apps don't get restored like it used to back in RC1. yes I flashed the AUG 2010 mini one.

2- People are suggesting in earlier posts, to not allow google to back up your data? isn't that the function that allows u to restore ur apps in the first place?

3- when i'm in ADB.. adb remount > adb shell > cd /data/data > uninstall com.amazon.mp3, it gives me the error uninstall: not found.

4- is there somewhere i could get all adb/fastboot commands and read how to use them. i'm an intermediate ubuntu user, and command line seems rather convenient for me.

5- Memory, can anyone hint me to why i have such a low memory left, i monitor the apps, and have them installed externally, and i moved everything that will allow me to the sdcard... but yet i monitor memory, and i barely have 13 mb left. I also want to know, how i can move all the apps in bulk to sd card. in ubuntu i'll sudo mv /path/ /destination. but in android. i see apps in /data/data i see apps in /cache/davilk-cache and in /system/app, but on sd i see .android-secure.. can someone help on what are the commands for that.

6- speed. i don't enable JIT. I use compcache, and swap, using swapper2. <which btw, every time i reboot phone i need to restart because it looks like it doesn't auto start. Yes i have a partition for it. 96MB, yes options are enables > can anyone orient me to where i can read more on autostarting swap. used to be hot topic when we were still at 3.5, BLAME FIRERAT for his auto scripts, and app updater, since then, i've been slacking off.. . i think there is a script to pop on sd??

*usually questions get ignored.. but can someone really at least answer one.
[G1 Android Development] trio151:
Ran it for 24 hours on my Rogers G1.

It worked pretty well but my SD card was not able to be read so I went back to CM 5.

When I tried to mount the SD card using settings>sd card>mount it crashed the phone.

Without having access to the SD card it really limits what I can do.

When the phone started up it would notify me i could safely remove the sd card(via a status bar icon)

Otherwise it was working pretty well.
[G1 Android Development] fahad123:
SIR just mind ur own business... i wasnt talkin to u... nor i ever intend to...

u too have a good day... according to firerat.. "HE WAS BEING RUDE" ...

i was just sharing my experience... i never said cm6 is bad... its freaking good...

just a flaw in it.. everything and everyone has flaws... i hope u understand now n stop being arrogant...
[G1 Android Development] fahad123:
i wanst begging u dude... ANDROID and my phone is not the only life i have...

i was just sharing the experience of mine with cm6.. it wasnt like that in cm5.0.8.. and to be honest.. one should always feel good to help others...

n i STILL thank you for all your work...

have a good life..

BEST REGARDS.
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
2. I let google back up my stuff with no problems at all, but some people have reported issues with it usually they say it drains battery and slows things down. so if your having trouble you could try turning it off, but if it works, then you probably shouldn't worry about it :)

4. for adb commands: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html

5. I'm assuming you mean data memory and not ram? apps that are on the sd card still save stuff to the internal memory, you can download a cache cleaning app from the market, but having low memory on a g1 is really no big deal. its there to be used :) but if you like, you can move everything to sd (which I see that you've done) clear cache on apps, and of course you can use apps like astro or titanium backup or whatever you like to back up your apps to the sd card then you can uninstall apps that you dont use every day, and restore them when you need them. theres probably lots of tips for saving memory, those are just a few.

6. make sure never to use compcache and swap at the same time, it sounds like a good idea in theory, but does not work well at all in real life. just a warning though, I have found that when I turn off compcache (at least back in RC2) things get really unstable for a little while (random reboots and adw crashes and such) but after a few reboots things went back to normal. also make sure your not using too much swap, 96 mb seems to be the max that works well. anything over that usualy works nicely at first but gradually slows down untill its almost unusable. (I had that problem with 128 mb) I have found that things speed up when you use swap if you reformat the sd card if it slows down (back up everything first of course)
[G1 Android Development] katsumeiyo:
nvm.. lol ... 10 char.. lol
[G1 Android Development] foxtrickle:
1- Which ROM were you coming from?

2- Yes it does, but it usually takes a long time, especially on first boot, so people disable it.

3- Try adb remount > adb uninstall /system/app/com.amazon.mp3

4- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=502010

5- Sounds like you might be using Froyo2Fat, which does not necessarily install everything to the card. Some data still get installed internally. Also some apps can't be installed to the card. If you want more space, you can use Custom MTD Partitions by Firerat. The link is in my signature.

6- I wouldn't run both. Pick one or the other. You could always try Swapper2 also.

EDIT: Damn you beat me to it firefly!
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
lol just barely though ;) and you answered the adb question (apparently I cant count and skipped question 1 and 3)
[G1 Android Development] katsumeiyo:
thanks u guys solved most of my questions. I did a complete wipe from RC2 to RC3, i knew they were going to include things like the new search and voicecommand, i wanted to be on safe side for that.

5- in Amron recovery, under utility there was a tool for backing up apk. but doesn't work anymore, guess its related to ext. The thing is, I don't have a clue of where to get the applications to back them up.

I guess i will give up on doing that manually/through command line and just use and app manager. yes i meant the internal memory. SD is fine.

Oh and do you know where the apks are to move them in bulk to the sdcard. it was tedious to go in and out of every app and move to scard. I want to know if there is like an adb command that will help me move all. Like I said I have hints of where they could be, but don't wanna mess anything up.

*btw fox your command for uninstalling worked.

*I think i might be using the MTD script to get more space out of memory. really loved and was much more efficient when all was on ext4, i could use ubuntu nautilus (file manager) to back up apps.

6- OK no swap and compcache at the same time. I see most prefer swap. i can format swap through linux, without having to rebuild the whole sd. But for swap. instead of using an app like swapper2, which like I said doesn't seem to auto start. I wanted a solution like a script to place on sd. that will help me enable swappiness, and all that. i've seen it in previous post, but didn't pay enough attention. now can't find it.
[G1 Android Development] rikkiboo2:
Hi, Thanks for your feedback.

I read all the post, but can't really figure out how to get the fixe you are talking about !?

You are saying its available on the froyo branch, but how can I get on the froyo branch ??

Thanks,
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
5. for adb pulling apps try:

adb pull /system/sd/app app

adb pull /system/sd/app-private app-private

(edit) sorry I dont think this is what you were asking... I think there is a way to move all to sd, just cant think of it off the top of my head...

6. I use swapper2 just fine with RC6, just make sure and check run at startup.

thn when you reboot, wait a minute or two and open terminal emulator and type : free this should show swap available whether or not its being used at the moment.

if your through with swapper2 and would rather enable swap through terminal:

su

swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

then type: free and see what it gives you.
