You're right, wearing happens on lower level than partition (on physical media level), but in that partition area because I/O operations are only restricted to area of that partition (For example SWAP, at the end of SD card). If you use SWAP file on other partition, and for example set swapper2 to recreate this file every boot, it's more possible that swap area will be writen on different blocks of SD on every boot.
[G1 Android Development] ericscottf:
Yeah, that would be the case if i had swapper2 swap using a file. Instead, i've got it using a specific partition, which, if you're right about partitions getting locked to certain bits on the card, will wind up killing that area of my card faster.

I guess i'll switch over to a file based swap just to remove the issue one way or another.
[G1 Android Development] b1czu:
I'm using swap partition on my sd for about 1 year WO any problems. I believe that using seperate partition slighty improves performance.
[G1 Android Development] ericscottf:
I forgot the downsides to using a file instead of a separate partition:

1) i can't seem to get the filesize over 64mb, whereas my partition is 512mb, and yes, it seems to be getting used

2) swapping with a file on the main partition seems to mess up USB mounting the card

so i guess i'll stick with the partition, and when the card dies, i'll just replace it.

Apps 2 SD on CM6

I successfully installed CM 6 on my G1 but had to preform a wipe to get ti to install correctly thus killing my swap and ext partition on my SD that i had when using previous roms. Has any one ran into the need to set this backup yet? If so is it working well?

------------------

Phone Model:

T-Mobile G1 / HTC Dream - Black

[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
That is WAAAY to high for a swap partition. Think about it like windows using page files on the HDD. Once the physical memory fills, it spills over into the page files causing slow downs. With 512mb swap, you are going to see some serious slow down over time.

I have a 16gb sd card with a 256mb swap, and never have a problem. Most people use 96 mb on G1's.
[G1 Android Development] b1czu:
Old APP2SD(on ext partition) doesnt work on Froyo yet. Froyo has it's own APP2SD (fat) system. Also there seems to be problem with init.d scripts not loading in RC1 on boot, so temporally to enable swap automaticly on boot you can use swapper2 app.
[G1 Android Development] beeboy1985:
Have you had nay luck using this method?
[G1 Android Development] b1czu:
If u mean swap - yes.
[G1 Android Development] beeboy1985:
Yea that is what i was asking about. Thanks.

Painfully Slow

I used CM6 on my G1 for 3 days and found it to be the slowest release yet. I reverted back to 5.0.8. There are way too many problems that still need to be addressed, hopefully the final release will offer a fix
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
Go to market search Swapper and get Swapper 2, go in, hit menu, go to prefs... advanced, swap partition on.. blah blah.... then go back to main swapper 2 screen after going through settings and hit on. Sometimes it may take a couple trys to get it to turn off, format and turn back on.. but 5 reboots (on purpose not random) and swap is still working fine.
[G1 Android Development] samsci:
Ok, so your first post on here was just to say you found it to be the slowest release yet and you reverted back to 5.0.8 without giving any reasons to why it was slow. What were you experiencing, etc? Maybe something you were doing wrong? Maybe an install issue? Maybe you needed to configure it, fine tune it?

Others on here have it running very smooth. But you wasted your first post with a no info, no help, nada bada bing bang maybe later..........

Next time, provide info on why.
[G1 Android Development] beeboy1985:
Tis will completely format the SD card or just enough space at the end of the card for the swap? If it formats the whole card ill need to back it up again before i start.
[G1 Android Development] b1czu:
It wont do swap partition for u. You have to do it manually, or use swap file on your fat partition. If you arent noobish you can try resizing your FAT partition by for example Gparted (you can use live linux distro - Sysrescue), but only if you have card reader, dont try this with card mounted in phone :) (You can try mounting in recovery but backup your sd data first - REALLY!)
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
you just don't have it setup right yet
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Pop open the Terminal Emulator and type:

su

rm -r data/data/com.android.vending/cache

reboot

This will delete the market cache and reboot your phone. Might help.

P.S. - Nandroid first! (Just in case)
[G1 Android Development] Sirchuk:
Having a few problems.

First off, I've had my G1 for a while but I haven't used it in a very long time. It was rooted, so I updated to the latest AmonRa recovery, flashed the latest radio, then wiped everything and attempted to install this ROM.

Phone boots fine, and on first boot I do not get the setup account screen, it goes straight to the "home" screen and the CyanogenMod tips are popping up.

I no longer have T-Mobile service, so I was hoping to just use WiFi, however as soon as I enable WiFi and connect to my access point, the phone reboots repeatedly, gets into the OS then reboots again.

Any ideas? I've wiped again and reinstalled the ROM without any success.

Also, I didn't see the market app prior to turning on wifi and getting the reboot loop.

[G1 Android Development] mxsybarite:
I've been checking the xda forums everyday for more than a year. Never posted anything because all the answers I was seeking could be found by searching. I have been following Cyanogen and his amazing work for a while now. But I didn't see anyone else report it being slow, so I wanted to see if any other G1 users were experiencing slowness in general.

You want to know what I experienced? The ROM was so slow by the time it actually loaded the dialer I would miss my calls. I didn't receive many text messages. The JIT only improved browser speed as far as I could notice. My phone would restart itself every time I tried to download more than 1 app from the market; applications almost never installed too. Eclair's Apps2Sd implementation was significantly more stable. Surface dithering and compressed caching didn't help anything I could notice. Apps like eBuddy and the Weather Channel would close after I went back to the home screen instead of staying in the notification bar. Google Apps would constantly bring up a force close dialog. It made my Swype keyboard crash all the time and I'd have to reinstall it. I used a few applications I believed would optimize system performance without overclocking, and they helped to some degree, but overall system performance was very slow. I wish it was faster because it has so many great features to offer. I experienced none of these problems in 5.0.8, so that's why I reverted.

I've had my G1 since the day it was released in my town, and rooted it as soon as there was a method for doing so. I'm not some stupid noob who doesn't know how to use or mod a phone. I've been hacking computers since before cell phones, I know what I'm doing. Installed CM6 3 times and every time I experience the same aforementioned problems. It soft bricked my phone 3 times and I had to root it again 3 times. If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears because I'd like nothing more than to run CM6 on my G1, but I need it to be stable enough to be my everyday driver. I'm patient enough to wait for the final release.

I am using a Black G1 (32B). DangerSPL, Radio: 2.22.19.26I, Cyanogen's recovery 1.4 (I know it's old, but whenever I try and flash anything else it soft bricks my phone), 16GB SD card with a 96MB swap.

[G1 Android Development] cd993:
Im getting strange behaviour too. Im using Handcent SMS App and sometimes it displays "not sent" notification but yet the person receives it fine, maybe even multiple times.

Also with regards to Sapper2, has anyone else had any problems when attempting to activate USB storage mode? Seems for me when Swapper was enabled, just wouldn't initiate it. After uninstalling its back to normal functionality again!
[G1 Android Development] mxsybarite:
Sounds like you didn't install GoogleApps. Don't know about the WiFi problem...
[G1 Android Development] beeboy1985:
As far as the messing app. I am using the same app and have used it on different roms. experiencing the same issues you describe about the messages showing they are still sending even when the recipients got the message. When you reboot the phone it will resend anything that it shows did not send. I have not found a resolution to this except just to delete the messages that are showing did not send.

ON the Swapper 2 app, I cant help much as i just installed it but i did notice there is an option to safely unmount and re-mount the swap in the settings. You may start there.

Yep, I didn't get about 30 messages that friends claimed to have sent while on CM6
[G1 Android Development] robuser007:
It's a known bug! READ Issues on google code before using this rom!

use this one if you want CM6 (it's far from ready):

[G1 Android Development] t_rob76:
I really think this may be due to low memory errors. I was getting alot of those and once i got swap going they went away...iu just sent myself a test sms and it worked, also i got one yesterday from paying my tmobile bill and like 8 or so last night... i dont text alot though...did you miss 30 out of 30 or 30 out of 150?
[G1 Android Development] mxsybarite:
I missed like 30 out of 40. I only used it for 3 or 4 days. Like my friend sent me one and I got it, but I didn't get the 5 that followed it. It seemed like I could only receive 1 message per contact. I'm aware it's a known bug, so I reverted back to CM5 and I'll wait for the final release of 6
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
Did you flash the Gapps?
[G1 Android Development] samsci:
thanks for posting the issues :)

Couple of things to try. Not sure if you tried the latest GAPPS, but the earlier versions did have issues. Also, Firerat has some scripts out that might help with the Apps2sd. Also, some are using swapper2 with some pretty good results as well.

Depending on how many apps you are running, putting them internal does help rather than moving them to external also.

Edit: I reread your post again: For you to have intalled it 3 times and it 'soft bricked' your phone each time and you had to root it again each time, something sounds definately wrong with your phone or how you are installing the ROM. Others have installed the ROM on a G1 and have not had your issues, except with the SMS msgs it seems. But for those other issues, it seems like you have other problems far outside any issues with the ROM itself.
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
Hmmm...I may revert as well, though I'm very pleased with the ROM. I just sent myself 10 messages from Google Voice. Handcent received, get this, 13 messages. The 3 were duplicates. I may ask friends and family to tell me if they're getting my messages.
[G1 Android Development] sleepy3194:
Did you wipe in fastboot?
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
beeboy is right. Try those settings first. You can also try to remember to disable swapper before you want to connect via USB. Then, re-enable after.

Unfortunately, you may still have the issue (I did, but some haven't). This comes out of using the swap file. I know it's a hassle, but try a swap partition. It should get rid of the problems.

Back up your FAT32 partition contents, reformat your card to have a swap partition from Amon Ra's recovery (I'd recommend 32MB or 64MB), and then copy back over your stuff when you're done. Once you're back in the ROM, pop open Swapper2, uncheck the use of a file, and then go to advanced settings. Where it says use partition, check it, and then where it says partition location, make sure that the line ends in the number 3 (if you have an EXT partition) or a number 2 (if you only have a FAT32 and a swap partition). <--Important. Then, uncheck the "reformat..." and "recreate..." settings, as well. Set your Swappiness to whatever your heart desires (I use 40) and hit the ON button in the main Swapper2 screen.

That should eliminate issues and enable the USB just fine. Again, I know it's a hassle, but it worked for me. Hope this helps some.
[G1 Android Development] mxsybarite:
I did use the latest GApps, but it kept force closing. I've got maybe 20 apps. Most of which are on the SD card, but I put the heavier apps on internal. I don't have any games or junk apps, just apps that I use regularly or would like to have for certain situations, and I clean my caches daily. I'll flash CM6 one more time and try swapper2 and see if it helps. I've read a lot about Firerat and I'm skeptical on using his scripts since many people seem to have nothing but bad things to say about him and his work.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if there was something wrong with my phone. I'm on my 7th replacement G1 from T-Mobile and every phone had problems without rooting it. Refurbished rubbish.

Does anybody know where T-Mobile stands on the G1 concerning the "No Phone Left Behind" act?
[G1 Android Development] mxsybarite:
Hopefully this bug is one of teamdouche's priorities. CM6 is jam packed with wonderful features, but hardly stable enough to be an everyday driver, at least for me...
[G1 Android Development] beeboy1985:
I found more insight on the Messaging app:

to fix double messaging to go handcent setting. then scroll down until you see retrieve message settings open it. then scroll down to bottom. then it will say "self-check". un-check it

If that don't seem to work check out the forms for that app: http://bbs.handcent.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1276&sid=25c4209c78757de592f86990491f5393
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
Unfortunately the "no phones left behind" was from a mytouch only magazine from tmobile. The excerpt on the T-Mobile website was actually from that magazine.

So I dunno about the g1...

Hopefully they meant no phones period and were not just referring to the 32b mytouches.

Seeing as so far you need more than a simple ota update to get Roms above 1.6 on a g1...

My guess (just a guess) is that official update for the g1 is unlikely.

However luckily most things that work on the 32b mytouch also work on the g1 (although unofficially of course).

Every movie freeze's around 1hr 11m with CM6

I used ClonedDvdMobile and Daniusoft to convert the Movies and they use to work before I installed CM6 RC1. I have tried Mixzing/Cinema/mVideoplayer and the movies always freeze between 1hr 11m-1hr 12m. Could someone that has a movie on thier phone verify this for me. Btw im using a mytouch 1.2

it keeps rebooting after a little bit

this rom works flawlessly besides that!

I had the same problem, so I went back to CM5. It's a release candidate, no one said it would work perfectly. Just wait for the final release, Cyanogen won't let you down.
[G1 Android Development] samsci:
Please provide information on your phone, how you set the Rom up, swap? compache? external apps, internal apps? ect...

Since I have installed V6 on day one, I have not had one random reboot.

[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
I didn't have continuous reboots, but each time I installed CM 6, it always rebooted

once

immediately after booting in the OS (skipped sign in, yes). Then, it would run fine.

I really like CM 6, but I'm rolling 5.0.8 as a daily driver until we're out of RC stages. I mean, let's face it, RC's are never meant to be anything other than just that; release candidates. Cyan and team won't let us down. Just got some bugs to work out is all. I'm happy with my 5.0.8 on both my phones; running like a top! Or is that spinning like a top? Hmmm...
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
I meant to ask this a while ago, does switchrom (included in AmonRa's 1.70) work with CM6? I stored the ROM, but then I wasn't able to restore it or restore my previous store of CM5.0.8.

Automatic file deletion

I have to put the CM6 zip file on my sd card every time I want to flash it because it gets deleted after flashing. I can use the ROM just fine, for the most part, but the zip file goes missing afterwards. Anybody else experience this?

i experienced it going missing after signing it once but never after flashing it
[G1 Android Development] choli0090:
You can install Firerat's script or wait for the next Release of Cyanogen 6.0 which is supposed to have apps2sd added back in. The Froyo version installs apps 2 the fat32 partition. The problem is that if the app developer put "copy protection" on their app, it only allows it to install internally & not to the sd card.

I read through the first 80 pages but havn't had time to read through the rest so forgive me if this has been discussed.

Music quality seems flat in this rom with Pandora. I don't use the standalone music app or listen to mp3's on my g1 but, from my understanding of *nix in general, I'm sure Pandora and all other music apps probably use the same subsystem all though I'm not entirely sure how Android implements it through the kernel.

I verified by using the same Pandora app and backing down to cyan's 5.0.8 rom with a full wipe and music sound clear there. I'm sure it's probably something as simple as some kernel flags or adjusting the kernel the same as you would for alsa or OSS, but again not entirely sure. Just my input though.

ya know, i've been checkin this thread every day or so and i have to say... its really sad that this whole thread is 166 pages of people crying and 1 page is actually useful information. in the early days, cyanogenmod threads were where you kept track of developements of the ROM and its features, and maybe say "thanks for a good ROM"... if it didnt take up too much posting space on the thread.

thank you. that is all.
[G1 Android Development] ShadowFan2008:
My hunch is that most forums aren't monitored and useless posts deleted, because for every post, there are more views of ads.

More useless posts, equal more clicks to read through to useful posts with a new ad viewed on every page. More views equal more revenue for the website owner.

Complain to forum website owners all you want, but they are too busy collecting revenue to worry about you trying to convince them ways to

not

collect as much revenue. Just my opinion...

Earlier days were on 1.6 Donut Roms where everything was peachy and so thats why your seeing the difference in threads. This is a whole new ball game with TONS of issues.

So wiping, installing the ROM, then installing Gapps (without rebooting) fixed all the problems with logging into the google account as well as the WiFi reboot loop. Without the Google apps it would constantly reboot with WiFi enabled.
[G1 Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
It was awesome using this rom for the last day but unfort, as stated, its too beta as a daily driver.

heres a few bugs ive noticed.

1. everytime i boot up some of my desktop icons appear as an android folder instead of their appropriate icon. like maps doesnt show up as maps it shows up as a folder with an android on it.

2. when disabling 3g and only using 2g networks, turning wifi on then off will break the connection and i wont have 2g or 3g

3. some texts dont go thru, some texts dont come in.

4. even with all the "remember launcher in memory" settings it still resets sometimes.

5. facebook sync is broken

6. theres WAY to many folders that hold options for haptic feedback. i think i had to turn it off in 4 different spots.

7. when i redownload my game World War, it doesnt read my phone the same and gives me a brand new account number instead of the one i always have on cm5. weird?

thats the few off the top of my head, its def way faster then cm5 but no where near as stable so im going back for now.
