Don't forget, the phone needs plenty of sunlight for better speed once it's "rooted" :D

Oh, and pick the shiny multicolored "candy" in your parents' cabinet! They'll make your phone seem slow, but you won't be conscience long enough to care :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] createdeemcee:
Success, Awesome, now how do I get some apps. Is this the purpose of the gapps installation?
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Yes, I had that problem initially. Installing updated gapps-3 helped alot.
[G1 Android Development] he3:
Anyone use xiialive with this issue?
[G1 Android Development] JediMMX:
an, nevermind, just needed to format to fat/ext/swap. i was under the impression that this rom required pure FAT
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Nope, that was the requirement for Alicia Silverstone in Batman & Robin.

Dun nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh...Fat Girl! Ohhhh! :p

Anyway, it doesn't necessarily require "pure FAT" (I like that term, it makes me laugh). The EXT partition at the moment, however, can't be used for apps2sd. They're working on it, though. Swap you can use.
[G1 Android Development] brownievtec:
Just searched and cant find a solution... I was running 5.0.8 100% loved it... Just installed 6 wipe reformatted Sd no when i boot im stuck on a loop of the X ....Any help

Battery issues

Hmm, weird, i unplugged the phone about 2 hours ago, didnt touch it during that time and the battery went dead. I checked battery info and it said the screen was taking 33% of the battery. it also said i had a screen active time of less than 3 mins :confused::confused::confused:. any ideas?

edit: i put 2 init.d scripts on my phone... apps2sd ext and swap
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
mine does occasionally.

usually though if its going to force close it first gives me the force close message which throws me back a page, then after a minute or so of running fine it just dies and goes back to the home screen.

luckily it doesn't happen often for me though.
[G1 Android Development] puppetcarl:
that was great!:D
[G1 Android Development] mayaakel:
Hey quick question!

Hey guys!

Im sort of a noob here but I managed to get root,radio,SPL, then CM6 and gapps installed and running like a dream!

one thing bothers me though!!! How do I get the task bar with the network provider info and the notifications to be permanently displayed at the top of the screen?

Thanks to anyone who would help!
[G1 Android Development] Casnapper:
Not sure if anyone answered you but he was asking if you wiped the internal memory clean and then did a fresh install of the

new Rom

from your memory card to the device and in this case the Google addon also. I would suggest going to Cyanogens wiki and make sure you have done all the steps in order to run the newest of their roms.
[G1 Android Development] izzyskywalker:
Launch ADW Settings and go to System Preferences.Change the Swipe actions from there. I believe you just set "swip up actions" to none
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
the normal task bar?

its actually set by default to hide itself when you swipe up on the home screen.

swiping up again makes it come back.

it freaked me out a bit when I first used that version of ADW lol

I thought I had an invisible task bar :)

you can change this if you wish in the ADWLauncher settings though.

settings/ ADWLauncher/ System preferences/ Swipe up actions.

I actually have my swipe down action set to open my alarm clock :)

I love the swipe feature.

I will warn you though, if you choose to set an application to the swipe gestures, it takes it a few seconds to give you the menu, it seems frozen but just give it a few seconds :)

boot into recovery???

Hey every one. This is my first post on these forms. I've been keeping track in the background for a while now and can usually find the answers i'm looking for.

I have a problem though, I can not boot into my recovery. Does anyone know why this is happening? Any suggestions on what I can do?
[G1 Android Development] boostnek9:
You need to provide a little more information than that..

Did you try to flash your recovery with a new one?

Did you use RomManager?
[G1 Android Development] Binary100100:
Try holding HOME while starting up the device.

If that doesn't work, adb shell reboot recovery from your computer.

If that still doesn't work then your recovery probably got messed up some how.

Just fastboot flash the new recovery. You can also try flash_image recovery recovery.img file but there were problems with that in 5.0.* series but I'm not sure if it's been fixed yet.
[G1 Android Development] kevinnguyen84:
Thanks :)

A few days ago I tried porting the 3d-gallery from 6 RC1 but it didn't work.

I then scoured the Mod section and finally found a working version for Cyanogen 5.0.8 that is fully functional (supporting landscape). Thanks for the advice ;)
[G1 Android Development] t_rob76:
You probably tried to flash clockwork from rommanager right. if so i would try to flash recovery via fastboot. attempting to do it through rommanager seems to fail due to "out of memory" situations
[G1 Android Development] Dukenukemx:
Anyone know why my G1 experiences random freezing with the Camera? It only happens when I take a snapshot. Seems to occur more with CyanogenMod 6.

Also, is compcache buggy? I enabled it on my phone and it reset with my applications missing, but the icons are still there.
[G1 Android Development] kidnoble:
Hey so I loaded this rom...it went all the way to the set up where I enter my email and password for Google. When I start to enter text, the phone reboots. Any help?
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
reboot, choose sign in later or skip sign in, and then sign in from after going into market and accepting terms...it should work then, happened to me too
[G1 Android Development] playvoice_17:
hi there

Please forgive me if i entered the wrong thread but u guys look experts here . i just wanna know what ROm for G1 is the best ? planning to buy my cousing G1 white cuz she is upgrading to htc Hero
[G1 Android Development] themapleboy:
definitely the wrong thread and it depends what you're looking for in a rom but the newest aka "the ****" is cyanogen 6

question regarding market

I cannot say how much I appreciate the work you do there, guys, once again "you're awesome"....

finally I may use my myTouch longer than expected :)

Though I have one question:

I have one app in market, which shows the status "downloading", when I try to cancel the downlod it fc market. I simply cannot get rid of this.

Any suggestion how I could "remove" that download, via command-line or anything else.

I've tried so far to close the process, restart phone, etc....nothing helped...

I would really appreciate your help, otherwise I'll have to wait until next CM6 release and then wipe out everything ;) (but I can't wait that long :D)
[G1 Android Development] hachiko:
help.

I'm not entirely noobish with flashing But i seem to have the same problem. I updated from 5.0.8 stable to 6.0.0 experimental it worked initially but my apps2sd were not working so i attempted to enable clockwork recovery i received an error saying that it couldn't be installed and my phone froze and now it just loads to the T Mobile G1 screen. I'm not that good with fastboot but i hear that can fix it perhaps. would anyone be willing to help me if that's an option please.
[G1 Android Development] cd993:
Anyone experimented with the Render Effect settings:

Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> User Interface

Says there may be potential battery savings, bit trippy at first when you select the different colours, slows the phone down I'd say though.
[G1 Android Development] tphan:
If u are referring to unable to go into recovery then I have the solution. Download android developer kit(SDK) and use adb to access the phone. Turn on usb debugging and use adb to erase the recovery then flash a recovery img again. Reboot into recovery that should work now.
[G1 Android Development] wilbur:
loaded this up yesterday - amazing - browsing is much faster.

OS a little sluggish at times, but what do I expect? I have FROYO ON MY G1 - a 20 month old handset that was released early with an unfinished os - and now i'm running the cutting edge OS, built for handsets with far better specs... incredible. Cyanogen is a master (and all you other rom cooks aren't bad either!)

happened for me several times. reboot to recovery> wipe> reflash> reboot worked for me
[G1 Android Development] Gerald22:
Das war mir relativ egal. Ich wollte das Pre einfach nur loswerden. Das war und ist ein absolut furchtbares Gerät und das G1 hatte ich auch schon länger im Auge;)
[G1 Android Development] kidnoble:
I tried this as well. It skipped it, went to the next screen, and rebooted itself anyway.
[G1 Android Development] jadephyre:
dann hätt ich an deiner Stelle aber eher ein Magic genommen.

Das G1 hat zwar der Vorteil der Hardwaretastatur, aber ich vertraue dem Mechanismus des Geräts irgendwie nicht... aber jedem das seine ;)
[G1 Android Development] domenukk:
ICh hätte das Milestone genommen :p

Its the european Droid.
[G1 Android Development] jadephyre:
I didn't like the Milestone personally, but I would love to get my hands on a Desire, though that is far too expensive (and I can't get contracts on mobile phones anymore, don't ask why).
[G1 Android Development] mailmonster:
Hey Guys!

something failed at the upgrade from 5.0.8 to 6 on my T-Mobile G1 :o

i did a nandroid backup and flash the rom but after the reboot the g1 halt at the cyanogen bootscreen???

the homescreen doesn't appear

any suggestions?

(DangerSPL and Apps2SD are installed)
[G1 Android Development] BatterseaPS:
Hi, guys. I've had battery issues since I've rooted and gone from stock to Cyanogen 5 and 6.

I charge fully, and my phone dies within 15 mins.

I did a fastboot wipe and a battery stats wipe from recovery and still have the same issue.

Is there anything else I can try? Is there a chance my battery is physically dead or is that too much of a coincidence? Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] kboater:
did you wipe between cm5 and flashing cm6?

that would be the first step, most people that try the upgrade without a wipe have had problems
[G1 Android Development] bunu:
Your battery is physically dead. 15 minutes is too fast. I can get at least 8-10 hours on a single charge on CM 6 and that is from heavy using.
[G1 Android Development] g1modfan:
I flashed on Sunday and everything's running smooth. Battery life is 50% better than CM5 - it's lasting one day with internet. Opening apps seems sluggish at times. But extremely pleased overall, like a brand new G1. It dampens cravings for MTG3 Slide or Samsung Galaxy S. We're so lucky to have Cyan and everyone @ xda passionate with open Android platform.
[G1 Android Development] adrake400:
same here

+1 i wanted the nexus one, then the slide, then the Galaxy s but now i can wait for the vision or vangaurd im praying to get a job wit Tmo so i cna get a discount :D

back on topic now lol
[G1 Android Development] ericscottf:
Stupid question, as i can't find an answer with searching and 158 pages is a bit much to read...

I'm guessing this ROM doesn't multitask well -- it will kill "unimportant" background apps, just like 5.0.8, correct?

If it actually does multi, then i'll upgrade asap!

Or will using a swap allow for multitasking?

I'm happy with 5.0.8 but it would be nice if apps stayed open in the background. The constant closing means it takes more time than i'd like to read a text message or email or when i'm using navigation and i switch to something else, I have to restart nav, which is a bit annoying.

thanks
[G1 Android Development] Babyface1249:
Ok here's my latest report, market no longer FC =) but the keyboard has a graphical error. What if I just put the Vending.apk into cyan's gapps?
[G1 Android Development] jon6206:
Thats not weird, thats froyo. workin just how she's supposed to. good for u did you use danesh's first or 2nd gapps pack cuz im tryin the 2nd one now
[G1 Android Development] ju12zo:
Yeah, its only doing it on apps that I have installed before. I think it is automatically re downloading them as part of the sync.
[G1 Android Development] Babyface1249:
Woah there was two packs? I just flashed whichever one he said to a few pages back
[G1 Android Development] lowlife546:
thanks! removed a few ringtones and now my market is there. got a couple of force closes now like others have mentioned but it works
[G1 Android Development] zoltan.fekete:
I wiped everyting, then flashed CM6 RC1 and gapps-mdpi-FRF91 (from Cyanogen Post)

Market FC, when I started it after the first boot.

I waited a bit, I see my settings are restored and apps are coming back... now I can actually start the market and it works... did not try to install anything yet, waiting for the automatic restore of apps to finish (will it also restre app settings ?)

Before full wipe, I tried just flashing over CM 5.0.8, but that did not went well. I was able to boot, but there were no gapps and in sync setting my account was gone, and I could not add the g account...

Thanks to Cyanogen Team for releasing this, and all the hard work put in.
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Why dont u take out latinime.apk from his rom and push to /system/app instead :)
[G1 Android Development] rembonjaski:
I think someone else mentioned this too, but Titanium Backup won't restore all apps. I tried several times, did a fix_permissions, tried again, even tried doing individual apps. Can't restore any more than the handful that got restored during the first try. I deselected all the 2.1 bits when I ran the batch function.

Was getting random fc's on the market as well, but the fix_perm seemed to handle that.

Other than that, everything seems to be running great. I tried running with compcache and JIT, but it seems to run better without either selected for me.

Thanks for all the hard work, exciting stuff!
[G1 Android Development] Babyface1249:
haha I take it you prefer your gapps? what's different?
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Lol no, i was trying to avoid u the trouble. Why flash a pack if all u need is a single apk ;)
[G1 Android Development] TheEnzyteGuy:
COOLNESS!!!!!

I have been patiently waiting and its finally out thank you Cyan :)
[G1 Android Development] Babyface1249:
Ah gotcha. Giddy up
[G1 Android Development] choli0090:
Can someone please confirm if the new "apps2sd" that comes with this version installs to the fat partition or the ext partition? I just read someone that it installs to the fat partition

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] TheEnzyteGuy:
yeah it installs to the fat partition not ext.
[G1 Android Development] ju12zo:
Facebook sync not working. Do we need to use the other apk again? If so please post link
[G1 Android Development] Babyface1249:
So am I crazy or did the AM/PM in the status bar shrink from other builds?
[G1 Android Development] jon6206:
This worked perfectly!!!! Thank You

Using a freshly formatted sd card I fastboot erased system went back to recovery and flashed firerats partition hack recovery, flashed rom, flashed these gapps, then flashed firerats partition hack boot. rebooted and no force closes on market no keyboard issues its all good thank you again

EDIT: @ Babyface - Yes good eye! i forgot to mention that earlier
[G1 Android Development] rk0:
+1. Thanks Daneshm.
[G1 Android Development] Surge1:
not working?

ok.... so no matter what i do i can't get this rom to work. I wipe everything, repartition and flash, i don't get the main setup screen i just get a home screen and boot loops.....any ideas?

Multi-Tasking

This ROM multitasks very well, with my set-up. Besides what's in my sig, I use Advanced Task Killer from the Market.

Even Opera Mini 5.1 stays in memory, and there is no lag returning to the home page, or any where else.
[G1 Android Development] ericscottf:
I don't have any experience with swap or your setup.

Can you point me to the appropriate step by step guides on setting the various things you've got set up to allow for decent multitasking?

Edit: I've got an 8 gig class 6 sd card
[G1 Android Development] dmwOtis:
I didn't do any thing special, just followed instructions in the first post. I formatted my sd-card the way I did to allow for more flexibility with other ROMs.

I think swap is a necessity, and SWAPPER2 (free ap) works just fine. You don't have to have a swap partition, it will set up one of the size you specify on your VFAT partition. You need something like Advanced Task Killer (also free) to keep your unused but loaded application from bogging you down.

The reason I have so much swap allocated is that Opera won't stay in memory unless you have quite a bit.
[G1 Android Development] ericscottf:
I'm afraid i don't see swap directions in the first post.... or even on the first page.

what am I missing?
[G1 Android Development] dmwOtis:
In my set-up, swap is done with the applications I use (SWAPPER2 and Advanced Task Killer). I mis-led you a little, SWAPPER2 sets up a swap file on VFAT, not a swap partition. You can tell it to use a swap partition if you have one.

I tried COMPUCACHE instead of swap for multitasking, but it didn't work for me.

Some say swap may degrade your sd card faster, but I think that is minimized if you are using a swap file on VFAT.

I haven't gotten Opera to stay loaded any way but by using a large swap file.
[G1 Android Development] ericscottf:
Hm, well, i'm messing around with creating a swap partition from Amon ra now, i'll try swapper2 and see what happens.

Still hesitant to move to cm6 at such an early stage, but i guess we'll see!

i guess my question is thus: Is cm6 supposed to be a multitasking rom where cm5 was not a multitasker by design and needed tweaks to get it multitasking?

thanks

g1 won't go past android after gapps flash

when i touch the android it does nothing and i can't get past the welcome screen.... anyone have any ideas? pls help

[G1 Android Development] MV10:
FYI, the link in the original announcement labeled "written a guide to installing this bootloader" to the Wiki about DangerSPL is no longer working. It takes you to the first page of the Wiki. It was working as of late last night. For first-fime-flashers like me, that link was very important (was just getting ready to do the wife's phone).

Great work, folks, very impressive. Sad that most people with older phones won't ever get to enjoy this.

Ah... somebody changed the article title, so now the link ends in:

?title=DangerSPL_and_CM_5_for_Dream

(As a new user, I can't post the full URL unfortunately).

Probably someone is getting ready to write a CM6 walk-through.
[G1 Android Development] Gerald22:
Das wollte aber niemand gegen meinen Pre tauschen;)
[G1 Android Development] b1czu:
Some more info pls. Have you done full wipe before flash CM6? If u do so please try

fastboot erase system –w

and then Flash CM6, and next google addon
[G1 Android Development] studjuice:
be careful, just know that when you set up a swap partition, it formats your sd card. meaning everything is erased, so back it up first!

and then if you set up a swap partition, you can use this to have a nice set up.

but yeah swap is basically your key to multitasking.

(you could potentially change the vm heap size down to 12 for more multitasking... but you'll also potentially encounter some un-cool problems)
[G1 Android Development] badb4lyfe:
thx.... i didnt do a wipe... but i did after my post and it works fine

Thank you Cyanogen with an awesome rom...

I have one problem though guys... actually two problems. When I try to flash the gapps, it tells me installation aborted.

SD card partitioning question

So i'm now using swapper2 on an 8gb class 2 sd card. Crazy fast loading of things that used to take forever! I'm really happy.

That being said...

I partitioned it and am using the swap partition for swapper2.

A curious question i can't find any answer to: When an SD card is partitioned, what does this do to wear leveling? Is partitioning really restricting certain data to certain parts of the card, or is the chip only tracking it as metadata?

I'm just wondering if using swap as a partition is going to wear down one small part of the card super fast, in which case, i'll just use a regular swap file instead.

I can see wear leveling working either way, either ignoring the swap or being restricted by it.

Does anyone have any concrete knowledge of how it works?

[G1 Android Development] maxxgraphix:
I found that Stevo's swapscript set at bootswap20 seems speed things up quite a bit. There are also some tweaks for ADW - Persistent and a couple others that help. I have 3 G1's and no doubt that CM6 is faster once tuned. Not many bugs, I'm sure they will be worked given time. Now the G1 is on par with any other 600mhz phone. Too bad we can't swap in a 1ghz snapdragon.
[G1 Android Development] chillipepper:
Anyone else dropping SMS? I miss loads, probably 90%.

I can sit at a desk and txt my magic with cm6 and nothing will come through.

Cm6 perfect apart from this.

Any tips?

[G1 Android Development] JohnRunge316:
Hey everyone thanks for all the help. Ill have to use fastboot when i get the time. Its funny though. If i boot my phone it starts just fine with the CM 6, but if i press home and power or if i try to boot into recovery form the CM tools it boot to the MT3G screen and stays there. I pop the battery out and boot normal it starts just fine, but still can't boot into recovery.
[G1 Android Development] b1czu:
When you partition your card, for example: First - Fat partition 950MB; Second - Swap 64MB, then data stored on fat partition can only be written on that area (first 950MB of card) and data stored on second partition (swap) can only be stored on that second area, so yes, it's restricting certain data to certain blocks of the card. So theoretically it is wearing down one smal part. But don't worry about it, you'll faster throw that phone than this card die :)

Have you tried to flash clockwork recovery from ROM Manager app? If you do so it's very possible that it failed.
[G1 Android Development] ericscottf:
Thanks for the response.

Have you got a source to refer to? I'm just curious. The more you know, and all...
[G1 Android Development] b1czu:
Partitioning SD card works in same way as partitioning hard disk in your PC. It's only different media type but operating principle is the same. You can try googling something like: partitioning, partition table, etc., maybe you'll find a good source.
[G1 Android Development] ericscottf:
I'm somewhat familiar with partitioning a normal disk, i was just thinking (hoping) that wear leveling was happening on a lower level than the partition, thusly making writing to a small partition no more destructive than writing to a large one.

Why not, right?
