Thanks to the direction of a few posters in this thread, I managed to figure out how to remove some unwanted apps in the /system/app directory, like Twitter. I was hoping that by doing this I could get more space to install other apps on the phone itself, but I forgot that /system and /data are different, fixed size partitions, so uninstalling things from /system won't help /data. Then I remembered that DangerSPL was doing some partition resizing magic to install CM6 in the first place, so my question is, is there a way to shrink the /system partition some to give more space to /data? Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] maichants20:
I did what you told me. but not all app data move when I move each one to the SD card manually.

i still get memory low messages.

there is no other solution than the patch to enable apps 2 ext?

thank's you
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
but apps2sdext is coming soon, so no real point messing about with partitions , as you will just need to repartition again later
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
it may be free, but its not open source

personally I don't like it, ADW is far superior and works very well provideing you don't miss configure your rom with task managers and the like
[G1 Android Development] khandu:
Quick question

I have a G1 with a friend using Cyanogenmod 5 and I had (ofcourse I guess) put DangerSPL for it. So Do I have to follow the 1st time 6 instructions OR just the Upgrading from 6 instruction??

Also after doing whatever suggested (1 or 2) do I loose data and do I need to put the google addon ??
[G1 Android Development] Bungholio:
Tried flash player 10.1

The apk installs ok but it just crashes the browser every time, can't even load google. Suspect its memory issues, even with swap enabled through fire rats patch it still crashed the browser.

anyone else tried flash with better results?
[G1 Android Development] G1sanju:
For CM5 to CM6 upgrade, its better if you wipe completly....see my sig for my personal guide for upgrade...
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
10.1 is for armv7 cpus, 32a/b both have just armv6
[G1 Android Development] Bungholio:
Wifi

Ah, thanks for the heads up, pitty; i would have loved to see the dream running flash content :D

Can anyone tell me, is there issues with WiFi on CM6, ive tried using barnacle wfi tether but it doesnt seem to kick in at all and i cant get my laptop to pick it up?

Must be just my phone or something cos im having endless issues with this ROM, when i make phone calls i lose 3g and it turns to g, after the phone has been idle for 40 mins or so my text messaging completely fails, stopping me from sending or recieving; requires a re-boot to fix.

Cant take this much longer, might have to flash something else!

Gutted, cos this rom flies otherwise :(

thanks. :o
[G1 Android Development] JRobzilla:
The droid is my own phone, the G1 is a friends. I just got back to it this morning and I've done a wipe/factory reset, wiped the cache and dalvik cache through recover (which I can get into fine).

This morning I also booted into fastboot just to confirm that DangerSPL was loaded (and it was) so I'm flashing it back now.

Alright, flashed it while updating this post and it got back into Froyo, excellent! Now the only thing I'm seeing from the start is gmail app keeps FC'ing.
[G1 Android Development] G1sanju:
You need to do fastboot erase system -w, by fastboot.

Check my sig, it has a my personal guide for setting up CM6 with a2sd and swap... :)
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
Yeah I'm a pretty avid ADW fan myself, but with so many launcher pro users around I figure I'll check it out so at least I know what people are talking about.
[G1 Android Development] jadephyre:
I think that ADW ist slower compared to LauncherPro, also I don't like the iPhone-like Application List wenn you press the App-Launcher Icon.

I know that it's copypasta from the Launcher in the Samsung Galaxy, but it makes Android feel too much like a Crapple Product, and I bought my phone specifically to steer clear of crap like that.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
All depends on your settings and setup. But, truthfully, I really could care less about who uses what - preference is preference - but just to set the record straight...

Yeeeeeeah. You do know you can turn that off, right?

Settings>ADWLauncher>Drawer Settings>Horizontal Drawer (Uncheck)
[G1 Android Development] cybernetus:
This ROM is very good, but for me the performance was very poor. I believe the bad performance is because my sdcard is a class 4.

I come back to CM5 again ( 5.0.8 ).

I bought a new sdcard ( my old has broke ) and I will reinstall the ROM with him.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
You may want to try disabling a few settings (JIT, dithering, etc) and try a different swappiness (and are you sure you have swap enabled?). There's other stuff, too. Search around or post back. I'm just saying because both my wife and I have Class 4's and ours are FLYING on CM6, even more than CM5 (which I was a HUGE fan of).
[G1 Android Development] smithfb3:
I also went back to 5.0.8 twice.

I tried wiping, moving apps around, changing swappiness and using Firerats script (Honestly just an awsome patch). I still kept getting Process FC's, ADWLauncher FC's, various app FC's, and most importantly my phone was unusable to make calls.

All I can says is thankyou Nandroid backups. I am so busy with work I just don"t have time to keep tweaking my phone.

I need a usable phone and CM5.08 works for me.
[G1 Android Development] ZeroOrDie:
how much of a performance increase would i be looking at if i set up a good swap/swapiness?
[G1 Android Development] aLkX:
Have Worked great for me:) Thanks

[G1 Android Development] Krician:
Cool. Thanks for the tip. Uhh this is for anyone to answer. If i use CC then do I have to set a VM heap size?
[G1 Android Development] jbdubbs:
Better read up on how to flash a recovery from fastboot. Surefire way to fix a broken recovery.
[G1 Android Development] jbdubbs:
Far as I know, it should be left at 16 for d/s.
[G1 Android Development] ItsLunchBOX:
I have/had the exact same problem. Had to re-flash RA recovery through terminal. Still in the process of making sure everything is working again.
[G1 Android Development] compuguy1088:
Great to hear!
[G1 Android Development] curtis2k10:
No fix for this?
[G1 Android Development] ndsc7:
Awesome. Disabling this setting sends this ROM flying. As fast, if not faster than 1.6 for me (with JIT enabled.) Wonder why this is enabled in the first place.

Also makes the Gallery app usable. With dithering enabled it was insanely slow. Now its (almost) as smooth as it can be (on my HTC Magic 32B)
[G1 Android Development] Abhi_UK:
Anyone know how to keep home in memory?

the option is not in spareparts.
[G1 Android Development] arpheztwig:
slide

I can't flash this on my Slide, can I? I'd like to think that any rom for the mytouch3g would work on the Slide, but I'm guessing thats not the case...
[G1 Android Development] compuguy1088:
Is anyone else having problems with root permissions with set cpu and wireless tether?
[G1 Android Development] traicer:
anyone know if firerats old swap script works with cm6?
[G1 Android Development] rsfaze:
yes they work.. he made the script for 90mb of the dream.. this rom is smaller then that :)
[G1 Android Development] BrandoHD:
hmph, when i disabled the dithering feature, all my widgets stopped working....

is it only me?

in fact even reanabling it cause problems
[G1 Android Development] smanzor88:
i know its way to early to determine battery life , but has anyone seen any changes, bad or good? thanks! and thank you cyanogen , i will be flashing this ROM ASAP!
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Delete them and re add them? Or are they broken beyond that point?
[G1 Android Development] hellboy5000:
any way to stop market from fc and the keyboard to work
[G1 Android Development] jbdubbs:
The option is in ADW Settings now.
[G1 Android Development] ndsc7:
They only stopped working for me because it switched back to the ADW launcher when I had Launcherpro installed. Switching back to launcherpro, removing the widgets and adding them again fixed it for me. Not sure what will happen if I reboot again though.
[G1 Android Development] Jedipottsy:
im still having problems, my lolcat is attached below
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
The Swiss Performace Institute AG Bern has measured the performance increase of CyanogenMod 6.0 with both swapiness and swap set to "good" to be 15.7%
[G1 Android Development] ZeroOrDie:
swiss? you know its good then. I know a question like that is kind of stupid because theres other variables like the SD card and all. I'm just hesitant to do it for some reason. Unless thats the actual increase you got. Then bless your swissiness.
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Why? I've been using swap since I can't remember when, with a brief detour to compcache, which was promptly returned from, as I found it to quickly deteriorate (performancewise) over time.

I personally have 32 MB swap with (currently) swapiness @ 40 (set up using FireRat's script). Now, most advise the swap partition to be somewhat bigger (like 60 MB) but I haven't bothered to re-partition my card (yet). I do feel the phone is more responsive with swap than without, but that's more of a feeling than anything that can be measured.

No matter, there's no down side with using swap, so why not just go ahead and try?
[G1 Android Development] appye:
LOL!

Aaand this should get me 10 characters...
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
experiment and find out what works for you

I have made it easy

use my all in one patch with sdext swap options

then in the ROM use swappy in terminal ( su first ! )

you can then change the swappiness and swapfile size ( without having to reboot )

personally I use swappiness 20 and swapsize of 16

( I have found that larger swap size is ok for a bit, but then I get bogged down later )

but play around and see what works best for you
[G1 Android Development] ZeroOrDie:
Thanks man. I set it up and everything seems to be running smoothly.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
What exactly is dithering? I've considered disabling it for the supposed performance increase, but not if it will make images on the screen look poor.
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Why

not

just

try?

If you don't like it, it is reversible, without sending your phone back to the factory.

(I do have it off. And i can't tell the difference. But everything that increases performance. Performance beats bling 100 times out of 100)
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
but .. but what if its not what the rest of the crowd are doing?

I mean I wouldn't want to look silly.

All I feel I can do is bleat and follow the bleats of the answering sheep.....

Maybe I'm being harsh,

but one thing I do know is that it concerns me that so many just don't seem to have any form of free will and feel that they must do as everyone else does.
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
With Swap enabled it will always be slower. However, you can do multiple things at once. And when you return to an app that you temporarily left it loads rather quickly. After a while though things gradually will slow down. I usually reboot at that stage.

However, without Swap I personally find a Rom like this rather useless, as everything you leave will be closed immediately. When you want to read a new e-mail while surfing the web just forget about returning to the browser, it will be reloaded. Rather annoying.

[Edit] Oh you already got several answers, had this window open and forgot to reload, my bad ;)
[G1 Android Development] geekoo:
I've been back and forth between CM6 and SuperFroyo 2.6 Lite and now I am back on SuperFroyo. I have a lot of FireRat's scripts installed (from AIO) and I have around 60 apps. However now CM6 has become very very unresponsive and I am unable to even pick an incoming call while I am in an app.

Could that be because of apps2sdext? Or could any option in the FR scripts be doing it? Or does CM6 not scale well when I have over 50 apps installed?
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
How about your other settings? Compcache, JIT, and Swap. What are you running?
[G1 Android Development] geekoo:
No Compcache, No JIT. I have a 32mb swap partition - but I am not sure how much the FR patch sets it to and whether it did activate the swap or not. Swappiness is at 60 (default)

No notable widgets (only one smooth calendar) and only 3 screens. Dithering is ON, Home persist (CM option, not ADW) is ON. Have 109mb /data free as all apps have gone to the sdext - planning to transfer some of them back.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Well, you might want to disable surface dithering. Also I would recommend installing Laucher Pro from the market and then removing ADW Launcher (only if you want more speed and snappiness on your home screen / in your app drawer).

Also you can check your swap by going into Terminal (It comes with CM6) and typing free.
[G1 Android Development] geekoo:
You say Launcher Pro is snappier than ADW? I've read so much that ADW is the faster one while Launcher Pro is the more themable and customizable one. I'm willing to give it a try though.

Checked with free (really need to get back to linux, its been ages and I've forgotten the command line) and I have a 32mb swap. Free memory is only 1.3mb though. Is this RAM? Whats that command to check process RAM usage, poke, peek, tell, ...?

I rebooted my phone and it seems a little snappier. I read that swap could slow the phone when filled. That true?
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Just give Launcher Pro a try....if you don't like it you can always go back.

I was a long time ADW user myself, until giving Launcher Pro a chance.

Both are great...I just prefer the snappiness, speed and

smooth scrolling of LauncherPro.

Also, the best way to set up swap is to grab the fr-patch140.txt from this thread

Place it on the root of your sdcard and go to terminal and press enter after each line.

su

sh /sdcard/fr-patch140.txt swap

After that itll ask you what swapiness and all that....I usually set mine to 40. Oh and I almost forgot, I wouldnt run swap unless I had a class 6 sdcard. Anything lower and your going to pick up a little lag as you run swap.

The main reason for running swap though is the multi tasking. And with a class 6 sdcard, you can run swap without losing any speed. So its only a positive thing with a class 6 sdcard.
[G1 Android Development] peshal:
Really nice rom.. everything works smooth and good. The only issues i had with this rom are the slow market download issue and GPS issue.
[G1 Android Development] dualityim:
I just noticed something. It seems rebooting the phone significantly drains the battery. I've noticed a few times, where I have 30-40% battery remaining, which would normally last me a few more hours, and I reboot the phone, then immediately after coming back up, the battery is down to 0-5%, and the phone would quickly shut down after that. Is anybody else experiencing this? It could just be due to my old battery, I will have a new battery arriving shortly so I can figure out if that's the issue.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
You definitely need a new battery... I was experiencing that with my old one. I just got my new battery in and now when I reboot I am at the same percentage that I started the reboot with.
[G1 Android Development] dualityim:
I'm glad to hear that, thanks. Now I just have to wait until the new battery arrives.
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
I'm not a fan of ADW. I removed it and replaced it with stock FROYO launcher. Cyanogen offers the same thing through the market for a few bucks (Launcher42. Go buy it now.)

The thing is, how fast, responsive, or snappy does your launcher actually have to be? How much customization is required? Even if you have 60 apps on your phone (about 45 too many in my opinion,) why wouldn't you just create shortcuts to the 10 or so most-used apps? Do you need 60 app shortcuts spread across five screens (or do you need all 60 compressed on one screen?) I can even understand a page or two full of direct-dial shortcuts, but it's just as easy to hit a contacts shortcut as swipe over a page or two and go looking for a direct-dial shortcut.

I get along with a single page of shortcuts to the ten or so apps that I use daily, and that gets me through 90% of my day. The launcher is locked into memory and when I come out of an app, it's just there like it should be. I don't have to swipe left or right. I have the ten or so shortcuts memorized so that if I know I need something, I am going to access the application drawer.

What are the rest of you doing with your launcher? Bleat bleat...bahhhh. I may want to copy you. Bleat bleat.

[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Get off your perch. I simply wanted the advice of someone who supposedly knew more about that issue than me.

It concerns me when someone thinks they have another's motives for asking a question figured out, but maybe I'm being harsh.

I just noticed something else. It seems my Gmail messages aren't being pushed instantly anymore since applying this ROM, now they take up to an hour to sync. Is this the case for anyone else? Could it be because of the higher memory consumption of Froyo that's causing whatever service that's responsible for syncing Gmail to be constantly killed or swapped out? Or does Gmail use some kind of push mechanism that doesn't rely on a background service?

Was wondering if u may be able to help me out.I think my phone is toast now... but I'm hoping not. I followed the directions aboveto the tee... butmy phone is now stuck at the g-1 screen... will not load anything or do anything... apparently, i didn't have danger spl installed cuz it wasn't mentioned in the above directions.. is there anything i can do? Or should I just throw out the g-1 andgo back to a cheap 20 dollar flip phone?
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I have noticed this too. It's because the GTalk service keeps getting pushed out of memory. Enabling CompCache and setting the VM heap size to 24MB seems to have mostly fixed that issue. I'm sure swap would work as well.
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
or, you could just start over and make sure danger is installed first...:)
[G1 Android Development] sleepy3194:

Go into recovery wipe everything follow instructions for Danger/Death SPL. (It was mentioned you just need to read) Then re-flash CM6. Also let it do its thing the first boot is going to take a while maybe longer than 10 mins.

Hi Folks, got one little "problem" here with the last build.

Rotation in homescreen, doesnt work when sliding out the hardware keyboard of my G1.

normally, it does NOT turn when keyboard is in and changes direction when sliding the keyboard out.
[G1 Android Development] anon_az:
I'm in the same boat and I've checked every settings page I can get my hands on...any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Maybe this will help...but I like it so that my G1 does not rotate unless I slide my screen out. So as it stands right now, I am on the latest build and I am able to slide out my keyboard and have my home screen rotate. Although I removed ADWLauncher and I am using Launcher Pro, I am not sure if that has anything to do with your issue.

But yeah....Settings/Display then uncheck Auto-rotate screen.

CyanogenMod Settings/User Interface and scroll down. Make sure only 90 degrees is checked.

Well I gotta say I nearly binned this Rom and went back to standard 1.6!!

I admit to being a noob at this rom flashing but now I have got this ron running silky smooth and every bit as fast as the 1.6 was.

For any noob interested I first used Rom manager to partition the sd card, Ext and swap. Next I installed cyanogen mod 5 as I thought this would be faster than the 6 version (it was a little). Then I basically clicked "download rom > cyanogenmod" in rom manager and backed up my current version on the prompt before downloading cyanogen 6 from the list.

Very easy to do.

The only probelm with this rom is viewing gallery and moving the screen orientation which seems to split the picture at a funny angle???

txt to sd?

for the most part my phone loads quickly and is very responsive. but many times i experience a lot of loading/ lag issues. i have tried searching this thread and haven't come up with any answers (also kinda not enough time to read all 383 pages)

First, i do a lot of texting. i delete a lot of threads and still get some lag issues. does this version of froyo have txt to sd or do i have to set it up for that?

also i've been getting a low memory warning for some reason. i cleared out my chaches in the internet exporers and for apps, but only showing 12 to 15 megs free. i have moved most apps to the memory card. any other fixed for the low memory problem/phone lag at certain times?

any help will be greatly appreciated and help keep my G1 from getting smashed lol
