Setcpu and 6.1-RC1

Thanks for this Cyanogen! I've always wondered whether SetCPU was necessary or not with CM6 (and now with 6.1) but this pretty much resolves that question.

Thanks again!

it worked for me

and now my g1 is greatly running like never before :D
[G1 Android Development] mindstormmaster1:
I always delete my davlik cache when upgrading its not a problem the phone automatically adds the files back on boot. You can also wipe it if your phone gets slow some times it helps with that too.
[G1 Android Development] mindstormmaster1:
Im pretty sure this is the latest so I unloaded it. Hope it helps!

[G1 Android Development] dthomas:
where is the download link for the new rom?
[G1 Android Development] skandalouz:
Wiped both cache and Davlik cache with no result.

No Full wipe though.

I can imagine. The most anticipated rom of this month next to OTA Official Froyo.
[G1 Android Development] zeroafro:
I tried flashing the black bar (from this post) using metamorph but was unsuccessful.

I'm currently using the latest RC1. Never had probs flashing this when using CM6.0 stable. I know CM settings allow us to chg to black bar but i prefer this as imo it has nicer batt icon, wifi icon etc.

Do you think it is possible to flash using amon recovery?
[G1 Android Development] last_chance:
Does anybody have problem with slow working? I experienced some on 6.1 RC1 :(
[G1 Android Development] Adamsville MITM:
Anyone mind posting the CM6.1 RC1 and Gapps link here since the CM site is acting crazy?
[G1 Android Development] StreetGuru:
Ok, is it just me or is anyone else loosing root with CM6.1 RC1? can't get root with Titanium or with terminal or even Superuser (tells me there is an update version and prompts to flash a flawed image in recovery). What's up with that? anyone else having issues? redownloaded and reflashed to find the same problem.

Download link for CM 6

This is the official DL website. I have been running nightlies for the last 1 month and I noticed that performance was quite stable in the last few releases.

Here u go.

has this happened to anyone else ?
[G1 Android Development] Lateralos:
Not as fast as the Official TMO Update, definitely more flexible but nowhere near as speedy, still a Release Candidate so im guessing there's allot more to be done :)
[G1 Android Development] zeroafro:
Not for me. Working quite well on my magic.

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing low memory problem whilst using firerats 1.35 a2sd patch?

Everything looks like it has been loaded to sd-ext but phone memory is down to 6mb which is causing real speed problems.

3G Problems

I upgraded from 6.0 to 6.1 this morning and am having only one issue: 3G connectivity isn't working. The phone will simply not connect to data. I rebooted and the 3G icon actually showed up but no data was coming through.

I also installed SetCPU for the first time this morning (on Cyanogen's recco) but not sure that has anything to do with it. Have it clocked to a max of 595MHz and the scaling to Interactive.

My setup:

T-Mobile G1: Brown, Rooted

SPL: DangerSPL

Radio: 2.22.23.02

Recovery: RA-dream-v1.7.0

ROM: V6.1.0-RC1

Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
You have to wipe, then flash it fresh. Lots has changed since v6.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Awsomeness!!!

You and your team are amazing, looking forward to running this soon!
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Yes I have read that as well, that it causes low ram problems
[G1 Android Development] tjhart85:
Release candidate means that it SHOULD be completely finished.

If it works out, a RC can easily turn into the final release with nothing changing but the name.
[G1 Android Development] hrk:
I reverted back to 6.0 due to some weirdness (GApps were in English instead of my own language and they would not update through the market, some other weirdness. Well, thanks NANDROID!).

I flashed 6.1RC1 over 6.0 without wiping because I have some paid apps (and lots of settings) I want to preserve. How should I perform a "good" upgrade? I have Titanium Backup and I need to use FR's script.

Last time I used Titanium Backup to restore apps and settings (5.0.8 -> 6.0.0) it was a PITA. Maybe I am the one doing it completely wrong.

my_former_self where are you in the direst moments of need? :)
[G1 Android Development] havikx:
you should absolutely do a "good upgrade". you need to wipe before flashing 6.1. you should be able to back up all your apps. setting... i dunno. just do them again. i'm sure there are probably more setting in this version.
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
I did a non wipe update and it's working well up to now. The problem with gapps is due to the 20101020-version: There is a bug with foreign languages. You can use the 20101008-version, which is working fine.
[G1 Android Development] billygoat555:
Having market problems. Won't download updates. Otherwise, it is quite spiffy ;)
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
yeap the only prob is the updates on market not downloading otherwise everything is superb
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
FYI, 1020 gapps has some outdated stuff in it. There is also a standalone version of Youtube on the market which is alot better than the gapps one.
[G1 Android Development] FabioFerreira:
The Market issue is not related to CyanogenMod, I'm still on 6.0.0 and have the same problem.
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
I have market problems too. I haven't had time to really track it down, but here is what I do when I want to install something.

1) from terminal or adb shell "rm /sdcard/download/down*.apk" (these are stale/orphan/aborted/??? downloads from the market that will sit on sd forever)

2) reboot phone

3) install one and only one market app at a time

3a) after you click ok and the single app starts to download, click it again to bring up the app's market page which should have the download progress bar on it. Once the download finishes, if it doesn't switch to "installing" within 10-15 seconds, then it probably wont ever. Cancel download, and try again. If it does switch to "installing" then WAIT. Some apps can take over a minute to finish installing.

FYI, this is all assuming you are using some kind of apps2ext/apps2sd solution on your phone...(who doesn't nowadays with a G1)...
[G1 Android Development] havikx:
i stand corrected. when i doubt, though.... wipe.
[G1 Android Development] the00guy:
Had the same problem here, and strangely, after wiping all caches and recovering via Nandroid, STILL having market problems. Tried clearing cache partition, dalvik cache, and reflashing the ROM. Upon repairing permissions, the phone locks ENTIRELY and I have to remove the battery. Weird stuff...
[G1 Android Development] mt3g:
I cant seem to find any trace of the gapps lol... i know bad, but I went to the cyan forums, googled it, cyan wiki, looked at other forums and nothing is loading for me... I'm freaking out some one give me a good link to the latest gapps I'd appreciate it very much

i saw on another thread that market been screwy a bit, and I know so I have more then one phone so trying to work on it and its just pausing or giving unsuccessful download etc... eventually it does install once in a while, personally I always had delays and slowdowns with google market... If you can find other source of the apk's thats prob faster and easer, esp if u throw them on your mem card
[G1 Android Development] cesarbric:
Flash CM 6.1 a couple of hours ago and EVERYTHING is working fine on my G1, no problems with Market, app2sd works really well, have access to root, got all my apps running and in sd-ext, no problems with low memory, gps, wifi, bt works, excellent work cyan. Thanks

A little confused... Help please

I have been offline for like 7 months and so much have changed... I am planning on updating to 6.1.0 RC1 within a few hours, but kinda wanted to get 6.0.0 RC3, if I could find a working link.. I see that under the google apps website, there is two kinds.. Hdpi and mpdi ... Or something like that.. Please help as I need to know which to download ...

I am currently under WG Build 10... Yeah, I know it is old, sorry... But I do have Death SPL and all those goodies, so I just need to know EXACTLY what I need to do to update to this now...

I appriciate any and all the help..

P.s. What is a good kernal to use, I think I need an update...

P.s.s. ..... I have the original first g1

Thanks again
[G1 Android Development] XfooYen:
The market was down today for several hours. It was announced on the internuts. It was not CM6. It's working now so don't freak out.
[G1 Android Development] oneG:
Everyone remembers the RAMhacks from 'back in the day' ? Well why does this rom feel like its included. Last night, my nightly build was flying with 27.6fps on Neocore. Today with CM6.1 Neocore is dragging and lagging moving way too slow to wait for a score.

Could the All-In-One FireRat patch have something to do with this? Or is this rom related?

Edit: Sorry. Found out ramhacks don't work with 2.2 and GPU. But its gotta be something...I think I need to put dalvik-cache back to internal
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I just flashed CM6.1-RC1 and am noticing that the data icon is constantly switching back and forth between "3G" and "H". I assume that the H stands for HSDPA, since HSPA+ isn't in my area. My question, why is it switching back and forth?
[G1 Android Development] mulletcutter:
Same with me, the H is alot stronger though...for me. I just did a full wipe and this rom is rocking so far, like the new settings. Pull down bar is super duper, one less widget to screen it up.

Did this come with 614 kernel? I havnt flashed mine yet and setcpu puts me there.
[G1 Android Development] mulletcutter:
Ur market is downloading all ur apps. If its a clean wipe.
[G1 Android Development] foronour:
i dont use internet iam close it
[G1 Android Development] mulletcutter:
What?. . .
[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
This ROM seems pretty nice, but I had a few problems after I flashed it on my MT3G.

1. No lockscreen

2. No market

3. Sometimes the home button doesn't work, doesn't go to ADWLauncher.

4. The only options after holding down the power off button are "Reboot" and "Power off".

I used the normal MDPI gapps. Anybody know what's wrong? I rebooted and it didn't seem to do anything.
[G1 Android Development] foronour:
i dont use 3g and dont open market this ur mean
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
Do a full wipe, reflash rom only, and try again. If you do need gapps, use mdpi TINY from the CM site.

EDIT - I had similar problems when I didn't let CM6 take its time on the first boot. On first boot DON'T TOUCH IT, don't even sign into Google until you've let it sit there for a solid 10 mins.
[G1 Android Development] Vanshy:
I've been using it since this morning, the first update without wipe was a mess, so I did it right. After that some lag with microSD class 4, CM didn't recognize it; but a reboot do the magic and everything were working faster than ever without swap, JIT or comp.

The next issue were with the market, it never started the download but few minutes later without do anything "app installed" appeared on my notification.

Tomorrow will add the gaps and SetCPU to see what happends.
[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
Alright, I'll try that a little bit later. Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] Portocac:
I tried wiping but the only wipe I didn't try was the full "factory reset" wipe. Should I try that and then flash the ROM? I did try the other wipes and the flashed the ROM and 3G did work (and I actually see the H symbol up briefly) but the phone feels a little slower and "groggier."

Maybe a full factory wipe and then flashing the ROM would do it?
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
Yeah, alot of people which there was a ramhack but this rom smokes with out it. I know that I edit every cyan rom to include FR-A2SD script and run it once everything settles. This method hasn't steered me wrong.
[G1 Android Development] oneG:
Wonder where I went wrong. Maybe activated too many options from the FR patch.txt . Do I number as many as I want or is there a sequence?
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
The same thing happened to me first and then i used the firerat's all in one patch and all my settings and these buttons start working... i didn't get it why it happened but i'm happy anyway :D
[G1 Android Development] tearsphere:
Upgrading to CM 6.1

I plan on updating as soon as I get a CONFERMED order on what to do, as I am coming from a pretty old MOD... I did update to RA 1.7 in the recovery and did download the new radio image and google apps, and of course the CM 6.1 ..... If someone can help me to the order of how I need to go about updating, since I am on a much older MOD...

Thanks again
[G1 Android Development] crazyjack2010:
Yes, I have the same problem with root permissions. Titanium was solved by clicking the problems button and downloading new (internal?) busybox. Others still no go.
[G1 Android Development] Portocac:
I was the guy with no 3G connectivity after wiping (not factory reset, but everything else) and then flashing the ROM.

So last night I wiped to factory reset and then flashed the ROM.

Even faster than my last build (which was snappy) and now 3G not only works, but I see the H icon up there, which registered speeds above 2Mb/s on DSL Reports' mobile speed test and a few other times was simply too fast for the 1MB download file.

Do we know what the H indicates yet? Is it that we're on the 3G speed that has gotten a theoretical boost from the work TMobile has done on the network?

I'm loving my phone right now...
[G1 Android Development] bemymonkey:
HSDPA. Sounds like T-Mobile upgraded their network in your area.
[G1 Android Development] limeraw139:
Me too. I think is google issue
[G1 Android Development] bylokk:
everything ran fine on my cm6.1rc1 install, then I started fix_permissions ... and after that I had 5 random reboots, and this thing is slowing me down.

Installed everything from scratch again, also with fix_permissions after a while -> same result

is fix_permissions not working properly or should I simply start it from recovery?
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Runs very nice but I don't get the constant switching between 3g and H. I am almost positive that H is not available in my area, so why is it showing H? Feel like this is leading to battery drain. :(
[G1 Android Development] almostthere:
Worked fine for me. Did the fix_permissions after first reboot from flash and subsequently installed Swapper2 (or use FireAT, your choice) and SetCPU (Don't clock past 576Mhz or you're gonna lock up your Dream) lastly before restoring my other apps
[G1 Android Development] bylokk:
ok, so you did fix_permissions quite early ... I did it after reinstalling ~200 apps.
[G1 Android Development] 20_Eyes:
my mt3g is flying. I just took off fancy things, transitions and the other one in spare parts. get swapper and good luck
[G1 Android Development] almostthere:
Just follow the sequence outlined in Cyanogen's Wiki carefully for upgrading from CM4.0 and you'll be fine

Yeah it's supposed to be that way as doing it late might cause issues with write-only apk's
[G1 Android Development] nec_d:
hmm strange...the compass is reading the accelerometers with 6.1 (magic 32a):eek:
[G1 Android Development] SwornPacifist:
I installed on my G1 that had been running 5.0.8, and after getting my market downloads cleaned up and everything installed from Titanium Backup, I'm seeing heavy battery usage.

I charged my phone all night and unplugged it two hours ago. With light usage, I'm down to 55% already. Checking the "Battery use" menu option under Settings->About, it says:

"Android OS - 27%

Display - 23%

Cell standby - 23%

Android System - 12%

Phone idle - 5%"

(and then lists other small uses)

Since I use my phone lightly, I've never seen anything higher than Cell standby or Display, what is "Android OS" doing that's chewing up so much battery? It's also running slower than 5.0.8, which makes me think my settings might be wrong.

I'm currently running 32 MB swap, 18% Compcache, JIT on, I don't have SetCPU installed, messaging and home are locked in mem, and I'm often in HSPA ("H") areas of service.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm was getting dramatically better battery life just yesterday in 5.0.8
[G1 Android Development] 20_Eyes:
Im gonna watch the battery today ti see how it goes . In fact, should I go into recovery and erase battery info?
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
I had the same experience with CM6, that's why I nandroided back to my oem setup. I turned off everything I could think of, but no dice. I did notice that a couple of system apps like messaging were ALWAYS running, even if I used a task killer to kill it, it was instantly running again. Dunno why.
[G1 Android Development] SwornPacifist:
It's too bad, I'd like Android 2.2, but I would go back to 5.0.8, I don't think I could go all the way back to OEM 1.6, 5.0.8 works like a champ and has lots of neat features
[G1 Android Development] LOONEyRR:
if you really dont want that stuff to be runnin, you can try >settings>applications>running services. and stop those processes. i dont think its gonna do much for ya, but if u haven't tried that yet. hit it up!
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
swap and compcache is a bad idea. Either or. Preferably swap. JIT is also a performance decreaser on our humble G1 hardware.
[G1 Android Development] SwornPacifist:
I'll shut off JIT and CC, see how well it works, thanks for the suggestion
[G1 Android Development] SwornPacifist:
With the changes, I'm now seeing in "Battery use", in descending order:

Cell standby

Display

Android System

Phone idle

Android OS

Which looks to finally be in the right order, ZilverZurfarn, you're my hero today!
[G1 Android Development] foronour:
help me....

this rom is very good but why battery its not good ?

i dont use 3G i close intenet in my phone that make save battery

but i dont use my phone and battery low

its 100% after 5 hours its 70%
[G1 Android Development] pk2:
How exactly do you down grade to 5.08? I been playing with a moto Milestone (GSM droid) for the last month and completely forgot how to deal with my g1's.

Regards, PK
[G1 Android Development] ANtiHazarD:
Been waiting for this for a while! it's crazy :-*

love u cyanogen
[G1 Android Development] SwornPacifist:
It's pretty easy:

First, backup whatever you need (of course, but just a reminder)

Then:

-Get the zip for 5.0.8 ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=688262 )

-Get the zip for Google Apps ( I think the latest might work with 5.0.8, but I'd get the ERE36B version from the same post as the 5.0.8 zip)

-Reboot into recovery (hold home on boot, or select reboot into recovery if your power off has this as an option - CM 6 has this option)

-Do a full wipe

-Install CM5.0.8 zip

-Install Gapps zip

-Reboot

-Enjoy
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
I tried that. "Killed" messaging and it stayed running. when my phone was hot in my pocket all the time I gave up.
[G1 Android Development] volcomnator999:
so ive been using this rom for about 2 days and it seems that its not as fast as the official tmobile release. my texts constantly lag between screens and so does the homescreen. The other rom was wayy snappier. Im going to have to switch back and try again when cyanogen releases another rom
[G1 Android Development] Yovecio:
this rc1 6.1.0 is based on latest ota update for t-mo mt3g?
[G1 Android Development] ANtiHazarD:
i think yes...
[G1 Android Development] Yovecio:
Thanks! But there is anyone who can confirm it?

And how is this release? Angry birds work well(there isn't any graphic problem like the white textures)?
[G1 Android Development] mulletcutter:
I think wiku says its based off the ota..angry birds will always have white textures, graphics.
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
Everytime i see my battery use

the display is always at the top and is using 88% battery

i've my display brightness just a bit up from 0 and still 88% :confused:

can someone point out why is display using so much battery ??
[G1 Android Development] SwornPacifist:
As I understand it, even on low power, the display is by far the biggest power draw on the device. Do you leave the screen on quite a bit? What's your display timeout set to?
[G1 Android Development] pk2:
THanks

Thanks much, used to do it with my eyes closed but semi bricked a g1 yesterday...out of motherboards! PK
[G1 Android Development] hrk:
Could it be that under Settings -> Cyanogen Mod -> Performance -> Keep messaging app in memory is set to ENABLED? That could explain why the messaging app stayed running.
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Not sure if they fixed it by now, but there was a "known issue" with the kernel where the battery would drain fast after you unplugged it from "USB charging" mode. Rebooting clears whatever problem causes the drain. So if you are testing battery life, fully charge then reboot before starting your timer...
[G1 Android Development] SwornPacifist:
The tricky part is the full wipe, from looking at forums posts it's apparently that the wipe stuff gets frequently overlooked when up/down-grading, and it's usually needed for a new ROM
[G1 Android Development] hrk:
As per my signature, I have both CompCache and swap (32MB) enabled, here are my latest stats: [4h 30m]

Cell standby 39%

Display 34%

Phone idle 11%

Voice calls = Android Core Apps = Android OS = 4%

Not too bad for having both CC and swap, used in the right order. Out of curiosity, what do you read if you type this command:

cat /proc/swaps
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
i dont leave it up for long and my time out is set to 30 secs
[G1 Android Development] SwornPacifist:
I tried this in the terminal emulator, after SU-ing to get root, and it just prints out what appears to be a list header without any list entries:

"FilenameType Size Used Priority"

I had a 32 mb swap partition set aside on my memory card, rather than using a swap file, and I didn't run any specific swap commands/apps after this, I was under the impression that if you had the swap partition CM automatically used it
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
Hmm, I vaguely remember seeing that setting. Why would you want messaging to stay in memory? Messaging alone shouldn't draw that much power, should it??

Interesting, wouldn't turning off usb debugging solve this? Or simply keep the phone off while charging and booting after I unplug it?

I charge my phone all the time while using it for pandora in the car, so rebooting every time I come off the charger would be a pita and not a workable solution for me.
[G1 Android Development] hrk:
If you don't see any row, then you have neither CompCache nor swap. CM doesn't automatically use the swap partition, if present (and this is something which could/should be changed).
[G1 Android Development] the00guy:
Has anyone had the problem where your downloaded apps don't appear in your market download list? CM 6.1 RC1
