I just follow your guide, but i wipe and i flash update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed and ezBiffTestKernel20101106-2708_S and gapps-mdpi-tiny-20101020-signed, but i did not restore nandroid backup. Also i did all rest settings in your guide for speed. Its all fine with the phone and the speed is really goog! Much better than before!

I have 2 problems, the collection(default app for pictures) is not running. It seems to begin but nothing appears! Stays in a black screen. The seconf is that the camera (app for taking pictures) begins ok but it doesnt work fine.

Any suggestions ?

(i think i get more Ram is that wrong? I think is more ram in my phone now 112700!)

I love your Xtra theme, the coloured icons are terrific. I noticed that the signal strength bar graph generally displays green bars, but other times displays grey bars. Is there any significance to the colour of the bars displayed?
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
green when youre getting 1 - 4

no bars at all for 0 (which i guess means hardly any signal), and all grey bars and a red x when youre getting no signal at all
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
For the Gallery and Camera, try running a fix_permissions from recovery or Terminal. Hopefully, you didn't flash in the order you stated; CM6, Kernel, then Gapps. That might have caused an issue. It should be CM6, then Gapps, then the Kernel. Other than that, I don't know.

As far as having more RAM, yes, you are correct; you do have more. The radio and SPL combo along with EZTerry's kernel enable an extra 14MB of RAM.
[G1 Android Development] antinerd:
Perhaps I got a bad flash, because outside of the green bars for 1-4 bars of good signal, or the grey bars with the red x indicating no signal, i'm experincing a 3rd condition where i have 1-4 grey bars without a grey x, yet i still have a valid data connection with Mobilicity. I thought perhaps it was indicating a 2G or 3G connection as I didn't see a 3G indicator when the green bars were displayed.

Frankly I followed through 90% of your guide except the swap part as I'm still abit apprehensive on that issue so I used fireAT's script to do a 64 swap 40 swappiness. So far works great. No lags and no crashes. But i haven't tested angrybirds yet ( not my choice, the missus demands for it...lolx)

One thing though I'm curious is that if you look at my sig, I believe that's a nightly with a +2708 port. Couldn't really find the changelog but adw launcher was a real pain on it. Any thoughts on it? Kept stating a delay due to the kernel.android.acore itself. Just a question as I'm back to the official 6.1. Can't wait for CM to release 2.3 though (ok, I'm going off topic here so shoot me)

PS: I do suggest after the nandroid, ohsaka's wipe would be the best option as the normal wipe someone might miss one step or there might be an incomplete wipe. Just a thought
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Heh heh. YOU thought YOU were apprehensive about swap? Dude, I was like the swap spokesperson, I think, since I can remember :D When I was testing setup scenarios for the guide, I enabled swap (same as you; 64MB w/40 swappiness) right off the bat. It was like second nature to do it.

It worked fine, but I always kept hearing Firerat comment about how Android 2.1+ doesn't play nice with swap, in his opinion. Now, I did use swap on 2.1 (CM 5.0.8); I don't think ADWLauncher would've functioned without it. But, I have to admit, I'm not using swap right now (on CM6.1)...and doing great.

Now, I am on a MT3G. I haven't talked to my wife about her G1 recently, but believe me, if it wasn't working right, I'D KNOW :rolleyes: That to say, I'm not completely sold that some phones don't need swap (or my own, for that matter). If you remember, I even included a comment about that in my guide. Jury is still out on it until I go longer on CM6.1 and see. And...I might still have a (disabled) swap partition on my card :D

I'm almost positive that the CM6.1 2708+ port is a nightly. I think I remember hearing that it's a port of the 251. Anyways, I know some are huge nightly fans, but I'm not. Nightlies are fun to try, of course, but they are works in progress (nightlies = scheduled backups of work in progress). So, because of the potential for bugs, that's why I used the CM6.1 Stable as a base.

As far as CM2.3, don't hold your breath. Word is that Cy and team are moving on from Dream/Sapphire. I can't blame them; it's amazing that they squeezed 2.2 onto the G1's, as it is. But, then again, I think Cy loves to impress. Never know.

As far as the wipe, I don't want to include any more files than I have to. I'm getting enough posts and PM's as it is. Some people, unfortunately, don't meet the "brain" prerequisite that my guide states is needed and all the helpful files in the world can't fix that (sigh). As the saying goes, "If you make it idiot proof, someone will just make a better idiot." :D
[G1 Android Development] zamc:
Thanks for help!

I run a fix permissions after first boot as in the guide. And i flash with the order that says in the guide. I dont understand what happen!

Now i make a stupid think and i think i delete gallery! is there a way to find those two apps (as a apk file or so) and try to reinstall them?

Thanks again for your help!
[G1 Android Development] T-One:
I installed 6.1 yesterday on my G1, made a complete wipe of my phone and repartition of my sdcard, so there shouldnt be any fragments of a previous installation.

Everytime i try to install an app from the market the app will download but the installation aborts with

Installation Unsuccessful

I have unmounted my sdcard and tried it again, no success.

I deleted the market cache and data, also no success.

I wiped my phone 3 times and reinstalled it, no success.

anyone an idea about this issue?

thanks

T-One
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
flash this from recovery
[G1 Android Development] almostthere:
Thanks for your input but yeah, I'm still hoping as long my G1 is still with me. It's a hold-on-to for me as we evolve along the Android timeline (Still harboring for a Desire-Z myself until now)

Anyway, if it's ok with you, I linked your guide in my sig giving full credits to you
[G1 Android Development] zamc:
First of all thank you!

I did it but its still the same problem. Both apps dead!

I can't understand it, all other apps its working fine.
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
check your /system space available, maybe you're running out of space..?

if you are, removing passion quick office will free up like almost 3MB
[G1 Android Development] zamc:
No, from titanium backup i can see : internal 310MB(215MB free)

(i try to uninstall with titanium backup gallery and camera and then flash again the file with the update apps (gallery and camera) but still nothing)
[G1 Android Development] HaloTechnology:
is it possible to port lock screen anmation from v2.3 like this one form this video

[G1 Android Development] zamc:
with means? ( i am new!) can we do anything?

An other app i try from market (camera 360) works ok.
[G1 Android Development] GamerGuy80:
ok where can i go to get the nightlies, i had found it once and now i cant...i want to install an older gapps then the recent one
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
thats not where i mean, or what i said (dont be a vlaka...:))

you need to look in /system, use rootexplorer or filemanager or something

if you havent repartitioned with mtd or something, you only have 90MB to work with on /system, thats where gallery and camera are installed to
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
91mb if your using 1.33.0013d
[G1 Android Development] alex_canada:
hey guys,

can anybody tell if there's a plan to port this for the Magic's new radio 6.35?

on the from page it says coming soon but it has been there for at least 1 month.

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
what 6.35 radio?
[G1 Android Development] zamc:
I dont know how to do that. I have root explorer and when i click on system file and on properties is says olny a "size 2048". Is that the size? How i can see the size? (i have the same number of apps as i had and before flashing the rom with new kernel)

With ES explorer if i click on system file and ask for properties it says "size:152,49MB"
[G1 Android Development] zamc:
May all these are from something that has to do with graphics? I mean i install Camera zoom fx and camera 360 pro, both works ok with taking pictures nut when i try to have a video recorded from camera zoom fx the app crush! Also Picture folder(app) and just pictures applications i install to see my pictures both working ok.

I don't understand why galley and camera (default apps) are dead!
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
did you delete

/system/app/DefaultContainerService.apk

?
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
i use root explorer, just click on the system folder, and then look at the top of the page
[G1 Android Development] T-One:
nope, i also made a total wipe and reinstall 5 times,

i've checked if the file is there and i cant find it in /system/app/*, also i cant find it on the whole system using "find" in the console.
[G1 Android Development] IKoRuPT:
Try downloading a new copy of 6.1.0 Stable and installing it again. DefaultContainerService.apk (as mentioned in the Barebones guide of the Cyanogenmod Wiki) is necessary for the installation of apps, so if you or your phone can't find it, that would explain why you can't install applications.
[G1 Android Development] zamc:
Thanks! I did it as you say and it says : 86,27MB Used 3,73 free, r/o

Few glitches for dream

everything was ok ut when i upgraded and used the gapps.zip file provided none of them worked, i had to wipe and fresh install it with the gapps. the swipe options were a little confusing but easily fixed. and having serious issues with the market. other wise everything is well inn the world of android :D:):):):)

i'm using cm6 nighty update with google apps included...market works perfect for me...only get a fc whem trying to edit a contact but after a reboot it's perfect...
[G1 Android Development] kewlguru:
Wow! Really! That's the first time anyone has said that.

Actually its fantastic.

Why dont try the couple of tweaks that have been recommended by lot of people.

ADW Suggestions

(Reproducing from Chromatic OP)

Go into Settings>ADW Settings

Change "Desktop scrolling speed" value to 0-177. (0 is what I use and is silly fast!)

Desktop Overshoot set to "50"

I also recommend Under UI settings:

Checking, Closing dockbar

Checking, Tint AB

Checking, Hide AllApps Bg

Checking, Hide AB Bg

Un-Check, Scrollable widget support (unless you are using some of the new scrollable widgets like what the Pure line is doing)

Get in there play around!!!

Is anybody experiencing disappearing widget and "problem loading widget" errors after rebooting?
[G1 Android Development] bigdbag:
Yep. Everytime I reboot I get denied root access to apps like SetCPU and my widgets are completely messed up. Not many people seem to have the problem however so I'm not sure what we're doing differently. I restored apps from Titanium Backup and restored ADW settings and screens from the ADW backup/restore. Upon rebooting however everything turns haywire.
[G1 Android Development] :
I've installed the ROM, the market is not functioning properly, the widgets disappear upon reboot ... solutions?
[G1 Android Development] Jurai:
I always have to remove then re-add the power control widget after a reboot, it shows up with no buttons
[G1 Android Development] ukG1freak:
Menu button unlocking

Also having an issue with the locking screen. When the option to press menu to unlock is nto ticked, it still unlocks regardless. Qutie annoying when in your pocket! Is there a fix?
[G1 Android Development] studjuice:
it runs some. doesn't mount sd-ext though

i've read here that if you flash firerats MTD patch it fixes that
[G1 Android Development] califrag:
having this same problem, none of my widgets are there are reboot\reload and most of the app icons disappear and show the generic 'not installed' icon. Having a ton of problems with shortcuts on the home screen...
[G1 Android Development] choli0090:

I'm also having the same issue (with Weather Widgets). Worked fine, did a reboot & got the problem loading widget & it not being one of the widgits to select from.
[G1 Android Development] smuvman:
patch

which patch? the mtd one? or all in one?
[G1 Android Development] joseangel.alv:
Off topic: Spain world champion! :D:D:D
[G1 Android Development] cybermm:
Same here...very annoying...would like fix for this...
[G1 Android Development] studjuice:
are you using the new radio or still 2.22.19.26I?

yes the mtd one
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
yes, see...you only have 3 MB left

you could delete passion quickoffice, rom manager (if you use amonra recovery) cyanogen wallpapers (if you dont use them), protips, email(if you use gmail) and get probably 8-9MB more

then see if you have any problems installing gallery and camera

use the update zip i posted and flash it from recovery

lemme know
[G1 Android Development] zamc:
Ok Thanks! Tell me something so i don't make a potato(!) i will go in folder system/app and delete the .apk file of these that you say? (assion quickoffice, rom manager e.t.c )
[G1 Android Development] slaman:
Thanks for this great ROM... I got a Dream as a replacement for my Samsung Galaxy S while its getting repaired, but I find that it's really slow... as in, takes 10 seconds when the screen goes on to being able to accept commands... 15 seconds to open GMail, swype is delayed...

Could it be LauncherPro Plus that's slowing it down?
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
yes thats it, then boot into recovery, and flash the zip

make sure you make a nandroid backup before you do anything, just in case

endaxi?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
I put them on /sd-ext

QuickOffice, I don't use much but its handy

CMWallpapers, I don't need fast WallPaper , but its there if I get bored

ProTips , meh its tiny .. but yeap no need for it

I keep email, don't know why as I don't use it

RomManager, again you can have on sd-ext , but it is pointless if you use RA , and only a bit pointless if you use clockwork

and if you use my RandomBootanimation script ( in All In One Patch ) , you can also move media/bootanmiation.zip to /sd-ext/bootanimations and save 2.6mb
[G1 Android Development] zamc:
Just delete (with the delete selection from root explorer?) its no need to follow this guide? http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Barebones ?

Sory for the question but now i try to learn how to do all these!!!

Your Greek is much better than my English!!!!!

Thanks again
[G1 Android Development] Lightning Lord:
what's up with GMaps..

GPS doesn't work at all.. I try to find my location and it forever located me at my house.. even if i'm an hour drive away from my house.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Could be LauncherPro, but usually it's decently fast (for a home app replacement). Make sure that you got rid of everything on the screens of the default ADWLauncher and deleted as many screens as you can from it. If you left a bunch of widgets on ADWLauncher and then installed LauncherPro, that may cause some background memory issues.

Other than that, check through the various settings and see if you can disable some unnecessary tweaks and such (dithering, JIT, scrollable widget support, etc.). That can really help speed things up. There's a some stuff in my guide (in my sig) that can help, if you want to take a gander. Just skip past the APPS2EXT and radio + SPL stuff (unless you want to go that route...which can definitely help speed, too) and look for the general tweak section.

Wow, a G1 as a replacement for a Galaxy S, huh? Someone deserves a kick in the nuts at that store :D Not knocking G1's (I have one), but, hardware comparableness, that's like taking in your Lexus to get repaired and getting a Ford Tempo as a rental.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Do you like Quickoffice more or DocumentsToGo? I think there's another called ThinkOffice, too? Anyways, I don't have the need for opening Word docs and such all that much, but my wife actually does. I removed Quickoffice off her G1 when I set everything up (to save space), but she wanted somethings back to read docs from e-mails. Before I go loading Quickoffice back on, just wondering if you had a take on the others?

Quick question, you sig says you use swap? Is that an old entry in it, or do you use a small 28MB like it says? Just wondering because I've always used it, but have been wavering with whether to go with it in CM6.1.

Oh, and "Magpie" is awesome, man. Thanks a ton.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
I only occasionally use quickoffice

never used the others, might look them up

yeah, thats old,, not using swap atm
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Yeah, I think I've only ever used QuickOffice maybe 5x. Maybe I'll just load them all on her phone, let her fiddle with them & pick one to keep. My wife is a writer, so she does use that kind of app a little more than I do.

Thanks for the heads up on the swap question. I'm not using it, either, but was just asking in case you started using it for some reason that I was unaware of. Thanks for clearing that up. I used to use it all the time to keep ADWLauncher from lagging or reloading, but CM6.1 (or perhaps just ADWLauncher 1.3) seems to handle that all wonderfully without it. Which is nice; one less thing to worry about and less wear on the card (as small a wear as swap is, irregardless).

Thanks again, man. And keep up the work on Magpie; my wife's G1 is loving it!
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Mmmm...Desire Z. Se-xy. Now THAT is the Nexus 2. Don't get me wrong, the G2 is cool (my brother in law just got one), but it's still no Nexus One. Build quality is just not the same. Now the Desire Z is one nice looking phone. I could do without the Sense UI, but I'm sure once it's rooted, we can slam CM on there shortly after.

Dude, it's totally cool to link to my guide. The more people that get ahold of it, the better. Thanks for the credit, too. You're a true Linux gentlemen (i.e. credit where credit is due) :cool:
[G1 Android Development] highlandsun:
huh? the Desire Z *is* a G2, just without the T-Mobile branding.

I'm thinking of turning swap back on. Without swap, if I'm running an app and I get a phone call, usually the foreground app loses its state. After dismissing the call, the app is there but starting from the beginning again. That really sucked one time I was hiking and using the My Tracks app to record my trail - the trail was completely wiped out, it just started recording again from where I was. With swap active, it may lag for a second but it won't lose any data when a phone call interrupts.
[G1 Android Development] dailomac:
i just followed the cyanogen mod rooting and flashing guide posted.. and everything works.. but the boot time is hella long.. and i finally got it to unlock screen then it crashes.. how long does it usually take to boot this G1..
[G1 Android Development] asb123:
first boot is always quite long (it is installing everything). After that it usually takes about 1-2 min to boot.
[G1 Android Development] T-One:
i downloaded it again (about 3 times) and on every reinstall the DefaultContainerService.apk is missing on my system, i've pushed the file from my pc to my phone, know i can install apps, very strange.....
[G1 Android Development] slaman:
Very helpful post!

Will take your suggestions into account... the default widgets/icons in ADW are still there, so will clear it out... might even consider removing it entirely from /system/apps

Will check out your guide as well... I'd say half of the apps I've installed are unusable because of the delay (Vlingo for example, took over two minutes to respond to a "wake" command from my bluetooth)

I didn't expect the G1 to be super speedy, but at least usable! Yikes!

I had to buy it out of pocket, since my REAL replacement phone was a Nokia N97 and it was locked, so couldn't use it on my other carrier...
[G1 Android Development] slaman:
The suggestions in the guide were very helpful actually! I notice a slight improvement... will try to remove any non-essential widgets from Launcher Pro.
[G1 Android Development] zamc:
I did it i have 9.95MB free in system but still nothing!

I will wipe everything and flash the rom and the kernel again from zero. AFter flashing should i do the update zip file for camera and gallery update?

I will let you know what happen !!!! Wish me luck !
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
full wipe and flash never hurts
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Yeah, you're right. Sorry. Brain fart. I was thinking of the Nexus S is my head when I wrote that. Man, I need to get more sleep :D

I've been back and forth with that. I'm not sold either way quite yet. I used to use it ALL THE TIME. I mean, in the past, I felt like ADWLauncher would reload EVERY time I'd go back to it if I didn't have swap enabled. I'm still doing some testing. Let me know how your experience goes, too.

Thanks, glad it helped. As for removing ADWLauncher...

DO NOT DO THAT. I don't think things will function properly if you remove the default launcher (ADW is built in; LauncherPro is not). I could be wrong. So, if you're going to do that, MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST. If it works, let me know. I'd be surprised, though.

If it doesn't, after your restore, I'd remove everything from all the ADW screens and even delete all the screens until you have only one (via MENU KEY>EDIT). Then set LauncherPro as your default launcher. That way, ADW isn't using hardly any memory (if at all). Might even experiment with the Settings>CyanogenMod settings>Performance settings>Keep home app in memory being UNchecked (as it may refer to the built in home app and not whatever you happen to be using as a replacement). That last comment is a shot in the dark, though. Just a thought.
[G1 Android Development] tissimo:
Awesome, updated my G1 to the new MyTouch 3G SPL + radio and CM 6.1 and its flying over the old RC2. I gave the phone to my pops 3-4 months ago so finally got it back to update it, lol.
