That's correct. 32MB swap partition with CM6.1 RC1 (I didn't use swap with T-Mo's ROM, but it wasn't through a lack of trying. I tried.)

I don't use an EXT because I don't do apps2SD. It doesn't seem necessary for my 32B phone.

No custom MTD (I'm not really sure what that is...Memory mapping?) Everything else is stock, except that I have the Donut radio, rather than the radio that gets flashed with the T-Mo ROM.

I'd try a little swap, removing some apps that seem to run a lot in the background, and no apps2SD if you can help it. Avoid desktop widgets, and minimize apps that background process, too. I'd search for some info on VM heap size to see if that helps.

my_former_self has a good guide in his signature for performance settings too. It's for 6.0, but many of the settings carry over. Here is the link: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8397178&postcount=4048. I didn't do the over clocked kernel part, but that may be more of a benefit for your phone. Pay attention to the JIT and dithering settings (disabled) as there has been a lot of talk about those settings affecting how your phone runs.

3d gallery problems

This is going o sound strange but 3d gallery works but it doesnt see all my pictures or videos. It is as if any pictures I have taken since the beginning of September don't exist???I see them on my sdcard but I cant see them in the gallery. Does anyone have the older gallery available so that I can try installing that to see if it fixes the problem???

how do i

How do i wifi tether to my ps3 on this rom thanks.
[G1 Android Development] the00guy:
You can use Wifi tether. Its not on the market but you can Google it. In my experience connection wasn't steady enough through my phone.
[G1 Android Development] VAMCAVALO:

I'm going to assume you have Amon RA's recovery:

Reboot to recovery > Wipe > Wipe Battery Stats > hit HOME button... Then reboot after its done.

I guess I spoke too soon, been getting some weird slowdowns all of a sudden and then lots of random reboots since last night, I haven't changed anything in the last week or so (which was running flawlessly), I tried lowering my OC back to 576 (from 614), but that didn't help... Anyone else getting huge slowdowns and random reboots?

[G1 Android Development] highlandsun:
Yes, when you have swap enabled, things progressively slow down as the phone starts using more and more swap space. I have a 64MB swap partition but now I usually leave it disabled, because my G1 runs too slow when it starts using it. The service manager will start more background processes because it thinks there's more memory available; it will keep starting them until VM is full. So the more swap you have configured, the more processes it will start, and the slower the phone becomes.
[G1 Android Development] antinerd:
Thanks much for the info. I was able to wipe the battery data, but battery life is still very poor. Purchasing a new battery to see if that helps.
[G1 Android Development] d3v14n7:
Hmm, I seem to have missed that memo... Heh.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll give it a shot see if it gets better.

No need to use Compcache either right?

[G1 Android Development] kewlguru:
I was reading through the last few pages of posts and I saw some complaining about the battery life (and one mentioned great battery life!).

Ever since I moved to CM 6.1 RC1, my battery life sucked. Would last me a full charge only for about 6-7hrs.

Heard such good things about the official MT3G ROM, i tried it out. The battery life is now great!!!

Are there a lot of people complaining about the battery life on CM6.1 RC1???

I am missing this ROM like crazy, but cant afford 6-7hrs for full charge!

Setup was the same on both!

No Swap/Compcache

SetCPU (as mentioned in my sig)

No widgets!!

App2SD (firerat's script) on CM6

Any ideas?

/Ash
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
We should put the answer into the FAQ ... Reboot your phone after unplugging from USB and battery draining is gone. For futher improvements use SetCPU.

I actually dropped VM to 12 in CM's 10272010 nightly, which seemed to speed up my myTouch 1.0 pretty well.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Yeah, the kernel has an issue with USB. Pershoot is working on it according to his release notes on that kernel. Once again, that's why this is still an RC and not a Stable. :rolleyes:

@kewlguru: Thanks for linking to my posts in your sig. Glad they helped enough that you'd do that. Just an FYI, though, my speed guide is not for 6.1 like your link says; it's for 6.0 only (until 6.1 goes Stable and I've had a chance to test it thoroughly). I make it a point to not make any guides for RC's, testing, or nightlies just because they change so much from each iteration. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure most of the suggestions still apply for 6.1, but I'm just waiting on it to go stable. Anyways, just an FYI so no one gets confused.

Thanks again for the linking! Spread the wealth! :D
[G1 Android Development] kewlguru:
Thanks for that!! Changed it as requested.

So the battery life is going to be bad till the fix happens right?

I don't use the USB cable for charging or doing anything at all. So am confused on the solution! :confused:

The problem is not charging using USB port, but the USB connection to the PC, so using the power supply is not a problem.

Internet Browser Issue

I have been a follower of Cyanogen's Mods for a while now but with the release of 6.0 I have found myself reverting back to the 5.08 mod.

The only reason for reverting is with the Internet Browser. I found with my multiple attempts at 6.0 or nightly releases that the Browser would just force close with no popup message.

So with this RC1 release of 6.1.0 I decided to test again... and the same problem remained. To try something new, I downloaded Dolphin Browser... It experienced the same symptoms.

Just before I was going to revert back to the security of 5.08, I tried installing Opera Mini Browser. And what do you know... It works. I am able to browse the internet again.

If someone needs logs from my phone, I would be glad to help.
[G1 Android Development] the00guy:
I had to revert back to the official rom+root, 6.1 was killing my battery horribly, over 20% an hour IN standby. I'm a big CM fan and I love the functionality that CM puts into his ROMs, but the battery life and the constant FCing led me back to the official, for now. When 6.1 comes out of RC I'll definitely backup and give it a try.

Hi,

I have a question. My device:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H

HBOOT-1.76.2007 (SAP10000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-6.35.08.29

Aug 21 2009, 18:19:15

Do I need to downgrade my radio? Can't I just follow the steps in the first page?

INSTRUCTIONS:

- First time flashing CM 6 to your Dream/Sapphire (or coming from another ROM)?

1. Unlock/root your device and install Clockwork Recovery via ROM Manager or Amon_RA's recovery image

2. Do a Nandroid backup!

3. Update your radio if necessary

4. WIPE

5. Install the ROM

5. Optionally install the Google Addon

which basically are the same from upgrading from

CyanogenMod 4.2 to CyanogenMod 5/6

page?
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Your best bet is to follow the instructions from here, which are for your specific phone, which has a PVT 32A board and is different from the 32A MT3G's and G1's.

Read it through once completely to get a feel and then just go slow and follow each step. You'll be fine. If you're already rooted (which it looks like you are from what you posted; "ENG S-OFF"), just read through the prereq's and then follow the installation procedure. Make sure you get the kernel port for 32A and not the 32B. You'll flash that file after the CM6 zip and before the gapps zip.

Once you're done and have CM6 up and running (NOTE: I'd suggest using CM6.0.0 Stable and not the CM6.1 RC, unless you're OK dealing with known and possible bugs), you can take a gander at my sig where there are some helpful links to get your phone running well.

Hope that helps you out.

P.S. - Of course, as always, NANDROID FIRST! :D

By the way, I do still have my original ROM, will that be the problem?

Any ideas? I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] filipecmartins:
Just figured it out.

Just had to downgrade as explained here.

Then all I had to do was to follow the tutorial. :D
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Read Carefully...

Glad it worked. FYI, all those instructions you just listed were included in the original link I sent you...

...which also included the link to the XDA post for downgrading in this following page:

....which is why I said:

Glad you got it up and running, none-the-less. :rolleyes:

APN question

What is the difference between the simple apn and the t-mobile us apn?

I noticed the simple apn being added awhile back but never used it until recently and it works fine....which makes me curious now.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Just curious why the official CM Wiki has instructions for flashing the DangerSPL via terminal in recovery, but that is not recommended for this modified SPL. I've successfully upgraded my radio to 2.22.23.02 as well as flashed DangerSPL by that method and it worked fine, so why is fastboot needed for this radio and SPL?
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
idk, but this is firerat's explanation of why you should use fastboot whenever you can
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I read Firerat's explanation in the other thread, and it makes sense. It makes me surprised that the official CM Wiki would direct you to flash the SPL by such a risky method. :confused:
[G1 Android Development] reserek123:
It isnt needed. But its much safer to use fastboot. because any thing could happen in recovery. you might have a bad flash and it Bricks your device. key word (might) lol. I personally flashed them via recovery as I have done that for any radio or spl I had because its faster and easier. :)
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
if you follow it, it is 'safe'

However, it is much safer to flash 1.33.2003 over 0.95.xxxx

as 1.33.2003 is compatible with 1.x and 2.x radios

1.33.2005 aka danger is not compatible with 1.x radios

people who brick miss the flashing 2.x radio

The CM wiki has correct instructions, but people being people screw up

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6510019&postcount=76

that is much safer, as it harder to screw up

flashing radios and hboots is not something you have to do often, so what is the point in saving a few min

[G1 Android Development] martinjochimsen:
Which port?

Hi there

Have I understood it right that

boot-cmstock_2635.7_ds_32a.zip is for the new radio and spl

and

bc-6.1.0-RC1-ebi1-signed.zip is for the old radio and spl?

Right now I'm using bc-6.0.0-ebi1-signed.zip together with the CM-6.1.0-RC1.

Is that bad or what?

I don't have any problems, but is it even better to use the RC1-port?

And by the way I have the old radio and spl.

(HBOOT-1.33.2010 and RADIO-3.22.20.18)

[G1 Android Development] the00guy:
Well, you could wireless tether to a PC, then bridge the wireless connection with the wired connection on the PC and plug the ps3 into it and it will share the computer's internet tether :P that's what I do with my Xbox.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
And then you could totally put your PS3 AND your PC in your car both plugged into a strip plug DC to AC adapter with the wireless tether to your PC bridging the connection to your PS3! Boom! Instant car online multiplayer gaming! Yeah-yuh!

Heh heh. Just messin'. Make for a pretty funny picture, though, you gotta admit :D

Any info on this?
[G1 Android Development] Sleeepy2:
@TheWizKid95

You don't have a compatible SPL.
[G1 Android Development] TheWizKid95:
And where can I find a compatible spl?

Edit: I tried using the danger split from the first post, but got the same results :/
[G1 Android Development] Sleeepy2:
if you have danger than you should be fine...

are you sure that danger flashed correctly? because your file says 0.95.3000

You need an updated SPL + radio combination that will work.

You can follow the CyanogenMod wiki to install danger.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Dream

You don't really need danger as there are other options with Firerats MTD etc. but I don't have time to look around for the links etc for you.
[G1 Android Development] TheWizKid95:
Reinstalled DangerSPL, it was actually the clockwork recovery's fault. Thnx for the help, I now have cyanogen on my phone! :)))

EDIT: for some reason, my phone's screen is unresponsive. Idk what's wrong with it. Tyndall for helping!
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
I'd advise flashing Amon Ra's recovery to replace Clockwork. I'm not knocking Clockwork, but I remember reading somewhere that it doesn't do so well on G1's in particular. You're best bet for installing it is via fastboot, IMO. Especially since you have an engineering SPL now (Danger SPL). I'd stray away from attempting a flash from the Terminal Emulator on your G1 due to the memory restrictions on both the device and CM6.

As far as your screen being unresponsive, you may need to do a complete wipe again or it may be Clockwork again (one more time, I'd HIGHLY recommend Amon Ra's recovery for your G1). Then, re-download your files, check the md5sums, and reflash. Then - here goes the self promoting! - check out my speed guide (in my sig) for a few good tweaks to get your G1 running a little better. Hope that helps!
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
today i noticed that when i plug my phone into my computer to charge, it automatically mounts it. it had never done this before; i would just use the notification to enable usb mount if i wanted. I charge my phone from my computer frequently. is there a setting i am missing somewhere to enable/disable auto-mount?
[G1 Android Development] d3v14n7:
Are you using Winamp? If so, go into settings and disable auto-mount when connecting to USB. There's also another app which does this, but it's name escapes me at the moment.
[G1 Android Development] raven_raven:
PowerAmp I think. I used once in while Winamp and I was calling my ROM worst sh*t for automounting USB and then I realised what was causing this. Nullsoft shouldn't enable such options as auto-mount SD Card on default...
[G1 Android Development] d3v14n7:
Agreed, its really annoying...

At the very least they could mention that it's enabled by default so people actually know why its auto-mounting and which app is doing it.

GPS/Navigation

I don't know if this is across the board with Froyo since I typically don't need navigation, but The past two times I have used it I have noticed considerable battery drain until I power the phone off and back on manually. Rebooting does not seem to solve the issue. I don't seem to have and issue unless Navigation is turned on.
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
Navi is very battery-intensive, especially if you let the screen stay on the whole time.

I have a splitter set up in my car so one plug charges the phone and connects it to the auxiliary port of my stereo. Every time I get into the car I plug in the phone for Pandora and Navi if I need it.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Get a car charger, That's like saying your going on a road trip with your TomTom but no cord to charge it with. Think about how long that TomTom will last, not very long...As far as the battery drain, are you sure you turned your gps off after using navigation?
[G1 Android Development] mjsell2:
I'm not referring to the time period in which I am using the navigation, but after. I had to use the navigation to get around part of town I've not been in for a few years. I shut it down after about 5 minutes of use and the battery just kept dropping. With the phone in idle I was still loosing about 1% per minute. even after a reboot, I still had the same issue until I powered the phone off and left it off for 15-20 seconds and powered it back on.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
yes

its a known bug, when usb has been plugged in battery gets wasted unless you reboot

so, for now reboot

or fix it yourself

don't demand someone else to fix it.
[G1 Android Development] asb123:
Is this issue still effecting the latest builds?
[G1 Android Development] bemymonkey:
He never said he'd plugged in USB...? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
its all about context

there was talk of having it plugged in while driving,

tom toms were mentioned etc

keep up!
[G1 Android Development] bemymonkey:
In addition to keeping up, you should try differentiating between the OP of an issue and people making suggestions.

OP: "After navigation my battery drains quickly!"

Suggester-person: "You should get a car charger!"

You: "Your battery is draining because of the USB connection, ZOMG!"

:p

Also:
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
car charger = usb

cold reboot instead of warm reboot = fix

poster had already established that, I just pointed out it was a known bug
[G1 Android Development] bemymonkey:
For the third time, he never said he was using a car charger. Someone else completely suggested that he should... :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
::facepalm::

if you use context then you can deduce that they were in fact charging
[G1 Android Development] bemymonkey:
Are you serious? Read it again. He said that he understands the battery drain during navigation is normal, and that the drain AFTERWARDS was bothering him.

Once again, nowhere did he mention (or even imply!) charging of any sort...

Hell, did you even READ the part of his post that you just quoted?

Take a look at the emphasized parts. That alone would indicate (from the context you seem to love so much ;)) that the battery was in fact dropping DURING navigation as well, so most likely no charger.

-edit- You know what? Forget it, doesn't matter. You were just trying to help, and you should know that as an avid fan of your A2SD scripts, I bow down to your superior knowledge of Android (seriously!). It's not that important, just keep up the good work, and thank you :)
