I experience some issues on my Magic 32B (Market buggy, Fennec beta can't start), but nothing serious as some others here.

I was just wondering how to have only 3 virtual desktops like my old 1.6 rom? 5 is too much for me.

edit: thanks Sleeepy2!

@sciopath

he completely changed they way to add/move screens.

When on your home screen push menu. Select edit (?) can't remember off hand.

Enjoy the new goodness.

anybody having problem with widgets? once i transfer the apps to my sdcard, the widgets doesn't work anymore...
[G1 Android Development] javon27:
i found that setcpu is essential for this rom. i only have one profile set up for when the screen is off. I have it change to the powersave governor in that profile. Otherwise, i have it set to 528 max and 245 min.

before setcpu i had battery drainage, but i don't think it was as drastic as yours. i don't hold long conversations, but i do use a lot of data and memory intensive apps. i have most of my notifications off except for gmail and google voice.

i unplugged my phone at 7:15am this morning and it is 10:09 now, and i have 91% charge left. i browsed my twitter and facebook apps, checked the weather, and looked at my calendar this morning.

hope this helps

Almost exactly the same method I take in flashing this or any rom for that matter and I always get great performance. Deleting the directory files from the SD I think is key, not sure why yet tho.
[G1 Android Development] GamerGuy80:
i have a g1 that im using. I used to have a lot of rebooting issues with the previous version but this newest cyanogen version i havent had any reboot issues at all. I did do a complete wipe on the g1 and a complete wipe of my sd card i had reformatted it and did a fresh install on everything as well as the fix permission and i havent had a single reboot. only thing is once in a while my browser shuts down on me.

Contacts question

Hello. I need to update my signature a bit. I am running CM6 full time and I have Amon Ra.

I think Wysie handled the contacts stuff, but I am not sure anymore. My problem is that I have several contacts groups and I want to be able choose which group of contacts displays on my phone. Right now it looks like the default MyContacts is what appears, and I have a number of contacts not a part of MyContacts and they don't show up. In CM4 (and stock, I believe) you could select which group of contacts would sync, under something like Edit Sycn Groups in the Contacts menu. I can't find that any longer. Seriously, I think I have opened every option and menu on the phone. I am probably overlooking it (it took me two hours to figure out I had to just drag an icon to the LAB and RAB on the app drawer.) Sorry if this is so basic, but I just can't find this option.

Another contacts issue is that the contact list doesn't show phone numbers. I have several conferencing contacts that use the same number but with different menu responses. Before, I could tell by the numbers which one to select. I would think if you could display contact pics, you could display the numbers. Am I missing that option, too?

Battery works great on my phone. Down to 60% after pretty heavy use since around 1:30AM last night (about 14 hours,) including two, hour-long calls. Could those experiencing problems be needing a new battery? The likely response is that the nightlies, previous RCs, and CM4 and CM5 had better response, or something like that. I know it sucks, but I bet a new battery would fix a lot of this stuff, too. They go bad, you know.

Thanks for any help.

so any word on the camera issue???? im having the problem where when i try to use the camera if i press the cam button it vibrates but doesnt load and when i use the on screen icon it starts to load but just automatically fc's and goes back to home......ive done the JiT and everything else so please help..................

What is everyone mhz setting and how is the battery
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
Which phone? How big is your SD? What class is it? Which ROM? Do you have apps on your SD? Compcache? Swap? We shouldn't have to ask you this information, but given your problem, it would probably help.

Here is a helpful link that will help all of us help you:

Just want to say that the new 6.0.0 is AMAZING. First of all, it's alot faster than all 3 release candidates, and the battery life is awesome! used to have to charge it every night on RC3, but now i dont have to charge for two days :D. Sweet job, Cyanogen!
[G1 Android Development] astronot:
I've used all of the release candidates and am now on CM6 and the browser crashes every single time I use it, after about 30-45 seconds. Just wondering if anyone else has had these issues (G1 obviously).

EDIT: Did a full wipe/cache/dalvik...re-flashed rom. Seems better so far. I recommend doing a full wipe to anyone with browser/app crash problems (kinda obvious though).
[G1 Android Development] blustosa:
So, just wanted to say this is a great rom, absoluetly amazing in many ways, but I too have been experiencing battery issues.

Had my phone at 90% and left it in airplane mode, unused, for 3 hours and it went down to 2%.

Will try the stuff to let know if it worked, figured it may have something to do with the setting to have home screen at all times available, will check if unchecking that it improves,
[G1 Android Development] blustosa:
Update:

I just checked my phone and that indeed seemed to be the cause of the issue. Left it in my room as normal for about 45 mins and it barely moved the battery as not too long ago it would probably have gone down a good 7%.

So try turning the home screen thing off and see if it works better.
[G1 Android Development] tuananh195:
The point is that I canot connect my phone to computer via USB with v6.00.
[G1 Android Development] drd525:
Thanks for the nugget explaining the action buttons! That's been nagging me for a while.

I'm having problems with the power widget; the 2G/3G toggle doesn't work, any ideas?

Great work on this ROM and thanks to the whole Cyanogen team!
[G1 Android Development] lowlife546:
it may be too early to say but this may have solved it for me too. for about 10 mins now it hasn't gone down at all since unchecking "lock home in memory". and thats with me playing around with it too. normally i'd expect it to be down about 5%

only downside is it takes a while to load the homescreen now. but i'll take that over the crazy battery drain. thanks blustosa well done.
[G1 Android Development] iRobC:
Just want a clean install from stock to CM 6

Is it possible to go from UK G1 stock straight to CM6 and if so what's the recommended Radio, SPL and Recovery and do you have a link to a good set of instructions? Thx
[G1 Android Development] hrk:
Thank you!

I just wanted to post a "THANK YOU" to Cyanogen & all the other developers who made this possible. I didn't use any RC, I directly jumped from 5.0.8 to 6.0.0 and it is working fine.

I had problems trying to use firerat's ext3 script and I look forward to a "6.1" release with apps2sdext. FAT apps is such a loss compared to ext apps.

I haven't had any big issue compared to 5.0.8 usage, but it looks to me that JIT is always on (provided as speed benefits in some applications and Quadrant results).
[G1 Android Development] wjsturgis3:
Read the wiki, link in the OP. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/
[G1 Android Development] mark manning:
Curious as to what others think, but I have been using this rom since it was released.

As of right now I think I am going to have to say 5.0.8 blows this out of the water.

Rom becomes unstable enough after about 9 hours to where I prefer reboot so that lock home in memory and the browser work properly. Also the speed, to me at least, seems extremely slow for a cyan release?

Anybody agree or disagree????
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Disagree. Strongly. My Dream blazes away like never before. Current uptime 50 hrs+, and not even a hint at slowing down.

With 5.0.8 I had to resort to task killers and other nasty stuff to keep the phone from draining battery/slowing down.
[G1 Android Development] mark manning:
Sorry don't know much about this subject.

Whats the best spl to use? Also, can the spl change the performance of my phone?
[G1 Android Development] Gekx:
I second that this ROM rocks! I rooted my boys phone and put this on there for him and he's been mind-blown for 2 days :) now all he talks about is all the cool Cyanogen tweeks and how much better his phone runs.

Used Firerat's new fr-patch139.txt for apps2sdext and eveything worked fine (remember you need reboot after moving apps around to finish the process. Also run fix_permissions then reboot).

I have Haykuro's Death SPL but was thinking of trying Custom MTD Partitions to free up more internal space. Is this possible with this ROM / SPL combo?

T-Mobile - USA

G1 - Rooted( currently running CM-6 V6.0.0)

How exactly do you apply the fr-patch139.txt ? I downloaded it to the SD card but can't find a way to install it. What should i do?

Also, i am having problem with the Market, while downloading ,sometimes it crashes,other times will finish the download but get the error msg. :Installation unsuccessful.....Is this happening to someone else?

make sure its in the root of your sdcard and not in the "download" folder or any other folder. then this code should work

Intermittent #G Connection

Hi All,

I am having connection issues with this release on my HTC Magic (Rogers). I would lose 3G connection and not able to get it back until I do a reboot. To install this, I did a full wipe and clean install. I've used the previous releases before and did not experience this. Anyone else experiencing this issue? Please help as I love this ROM (other than this issue). Thanks all in advance.
[G1 Android Development] G1sanju:
I have sent you PM, If you are having issue lets solve it there....
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
I studied the 2G/3G toggle. I don't think it is 2G/3G. I think it shuts off data. So to save battery in my non-3G home office, I always select 2G only (I rarely am in a 3G area out here in the sticks.) When I travel, I deselect that option to take advantage of 3G. So that's what I thought those arrows on the power widget were for. But they don't appear to have anything to do with 2G or 3G. They just shut off data. I figured this out when I was trying to get WiFi Tether for root users to work. I had that button toggled off, so when I tried to tether, the app couldn't find a data connection. I checked settings and 2G only wasn't selected, leading me to believe that power control button was for turning data on and off, not 2G/3G toggling.
[G1 Android Development] badb4lyfe:

Hey i kinda see what you are saying, can you please try to provide me with a little more specific instructions, im kind of a noob... currently im running CM 4.8 on the G1/Dream i wanted to update it to the RC 6.3 but it has some problems, is there a specific way i should approach installing that ROM on the phone!

THanks
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
I had the same problem of having a bad standby time on this rom but well i figured it was not the rom...

I wiped using fastboot first and then wiped cache , dalvik cache from recovery

Didn't wipe ext ... but it would also be better i think to clean it also

then flashed the rom

the gapps

and kernel

then started it

and turned JIT and compcache off

used firerat's script to enable swap and to mount sd ext ...

then oc'ed the cpu to 614

setting a profile to powersave when screen is off

and now my phone is back...

the battery time is wonderful ...

i used it a whole day and still it has 40-35% battery remaining...

so anyone else having the battery issue should first try the above mentioned steps or other settings in the rom which suit them and then check ...
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
There is definitely a problem with the Market app not getting a permission. A fix is being worked on.

Set cpu working fine for me, Except the same problem I always have with Cyan builds and it constantly says "Set cpu has been granted superuser permissions" everytime i take it out of sleep or randomly when I open apps.

I cant get swap to work though, and now that I rebooted I cant change the setting in Setcpu....

But its working fine otherwise lol

[G1 Android Development] jbdubbs:
If it hasn't been mentioned yet, this ROM is actually pretty slow until you adjust a crucial setting.

Go to Settings > Cyanogenmod > Performance > DISABLE dithering.

You will notice a HUGE speed boost and no problems with image quality (that I have noticed). This makes the ROM feel as fast as stock 1.6.
[G1 Android Development] sardas:
everything was fine for my G1 till i decided to flash clockwork recovery through ROM Manager.Now i can not boot in recovery no matter what.I even flashed RA recovery(through ROM Manager) but still can't boot in recovery.Any help please???
[G1 Android Development] iamanalog:
Would you guys mind sharing your setups?

I don't know if its just my g1 dying or i'm not selecting the correct settings to really see the true potential. I recently bought a new OEM 1150mAh battery (properly set up) and i still see less then 12 hours of standby and 3 of usage. Thats also with everything turned off (gps, backup, 3g ect,) Not to mention the biggest thing in my mind is i'm unable to get any multitasking achieved. If i home button then open a new application such as listening to music then opening an email the music will stop. i feel like i'm using an iphone here.
[G1 Android Development] studjuice:
how you set up the phone isn't that big of a deal. it's how you use it. if you want to get good battery life then don't abuse it. get rid of your widgets, make them stop syncing or refreshing at intervals. if you want to find something out refresh it yourself, stay on top of whatever it is.

like a car: it's not a big deal how the car is built, it's how it's used.
[G1 Android Development] iamanalog:
A valid point but i also only have 3 widgets on 1 screen with only mail syncing. I'm still thinking its time to dump this phone.. now only if the g2 was so lackluster.
[G1 Android Development] drd525:
The power widget is customizable, the up/down arrows is for toggling data on/off; that works just fine for me. There is a 2G/3G toggle, it looks like a 2G on top of a 3G; it works in the Speed Team Froyo ROM.
[G1 Android Development] rickb928:
It's a struggle on my Dream...

Flashed from RC3 to the .0 release, and all was pretty good for a day. Now, it's been a challenge:

- Phone is working ok, but menu is slow to come up and it got me touching so many buttons that I blacklisted my wife's number. Hazardous to my health. She thinks she wants a Vibrant...:0

- ADW Home doesn't rotate. What setting am I missing?

- Very slow going back to Home. Lock Home in memory is set, still slow.

- News & Weather App works, but after a few days opening any news item got a Browser session that FC's always. I can open the URL in a Browser session directly, but under N&W app it FC's.

- Maps FC's occasionally, but hangs for minutes on a regular basis. GPS on, 3G, still hangs.

- Regularly just hung at any screen, wait for 5 minutes sometimes and pull battery. Today I wiped cache and Dalvik. I did not do a full wipe on the flash, but I did flash the right Gapps.

- Today it got to the point that it wasn't responding after a reboot at all. free shows <1024 free, probably Browser cache is filling up. I enabled swap with Firerat's script but had to do a 'swappy on 60' three times to get it going. Using a 8GB Class 4 card. Slow is better than dead. So far, working ok for the morning. It's a feat to grind this down to fit in the Dream, I know I'm on the feather edge of capability.

- After this, apps still don't respond to Menu button, mostly Browser & Maps.

- Now I have two Browser windows, Maps, and N&W running and swap is 28M used out of 64M. RAM free is 1400, but that's unreliable with Dalvik.

- And a new problem, I'm getting occasional 'a secure connection could not' errors on my iGoogle page in Browser.

- SetCPU sure does eat battery! But I live with chargers, an HTC backup batt, and a Moto P790...

Just giving you a slice of the real-world experience I'm having. I jumped from OTA 1.6 to CM6, and I may have to try CM5 and let CM6 mature some more. I'm not yet whining, k?

ps- I have another Dream I'll go to, this is just a play machine I scored cheap. How much fun will it be to swap SD Cards?

Oh. I am a dingbat. Thanks for straightening me out. I didn't see a 2G/3G option. Maybe I need to look for that again, too. Thanks again.

Edit: Doh! I had no idea when I looked at the widget config that there were options below the four or five showing. It's quite configurable. I just didn't see any indication like a scroll bar so i didn't know those options were there. Very cool. 2G/3G added and working correctly, although it seems to take some time for the changes to take effect.. Thanks again.

Had the same problem occasionally with 5.08 on my Rogers HTC Dream, but I'd only have to turn Airplane mode on then off again to get it back... It only did this after using WiFi for a significant period of time though. Another way to get it back was to go in wireless & network settings > mobile network settings > Network Operators then let it search and chose Rogers (or whatever carrier you're on).

The issue hasn't come up for me yet in 6.0.0, hopefully it stays that way.
