Wallpaper Size

I have some wallpapers I had saved from nfinitefx45's ROM that I wanted to use on CM6 with Launcher Pro. I can locate them in my Gallery when trying to change the Wallpaper, but the orange crop box that comes up will not allow me to use the whole image. They are in the second post in the link below and I beleive are 640x480. Any thoughts on what I can do to fix this so I can use one of these? Thanks.

i'm having a problem using the application Google Listen. When i open the app it tells me "Listen requires a gmail account to sync with reader.google.com.

First, as simple as this seems, I would try uninstalling and reinstalling. If that doesn't work still, try fixing permissions from rom manager and fixing apk uid mismatches from recovery... are you using Collins battery tweak by any chance?

Thank you in advance for your help. I am running CM6 RC1 with kernel #11 and the Collins battery tweak. I recently flashed Fresh 2.4 in order to fix the GPS lock issue. This worked just fine as the GPS will lock when I start maps or Cardiotrainer. Since I have been running CM6 I have never been able to use Cardiotrainer correctly. This program is essential for me as I am training for a half marathon. Now that the GPS locks, it works fine for a period of time and then the GPS freezes. The program does not freeze because the timer continues to work but the GPS stops tracking my movements. I tried to duplicate this evening in Maps and the same issue arose. Any suggestions as to how to fix this issue? Thanks again!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Make sure on the battery tweak, you have CFS tweaks disabled. This can cause GPS issues.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicenice19:
They are disabled. Any other possibilities?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Is it just cardio trainer that messes up or all GPS apps?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicenice19:
Seems to be all GPS apps. I also forgot to mention that I entered in the text mentioned on Dech's kernel page on here regarding breaking GPS.

Been running CM6 for a couple weeks now everything has been good except for 1 nagging thing; Downloading from the market. I came from Sprint's 2.1. Everything in the market seems to load up fine, normal internet browsing seems ok speed wise, but when I try to download an app or update from the market it hangs for a long time and I usually have to cancel it and try it again later.

I never noticed a lag in downloading apps from the market using the 2.1 ROM from Sprint. Wondered if this was just me or a normal thing with CM6, I looked but didn't see anyone else referring to this type of thing.

WiFi question after flashing CM6

Hey there. I flashed to CM6 and everything works great except for wifi. When I try to connect to any access point, it will do the "obtaining IP" and then disconnect. It will do this to any access point I try to connect to regardless of encryption type or even if secured or not. I even get the notification bar alert of open access points but it will be the same thing. This is of course the Hero Touch CDMA and flashed to 2.6.29.6 - cyanogenmod ameer@darchstar#2 Build is FRF91 with baseband the new version of 2.42.01.04.27

Any ideas about making wifi work? I have tried the normal (fast back to stock, wipes, clear caches, etc) but after the 4th flash I am still getting everything working like a charm except for wifi.

Not sure if I can tell you anything else that will help but just wanted to try and see if anyone had ideas.

CM is the best I have ever seen. Makes my once sluggish Hero work soooo good. :)

Thanks.

OK, now that I have cm6 up and running I have the first Rom related question.

BrainFuct Kernel - UncappedKernel [2.6.29.6][09/28/2010]

I want to install this, I ran a CPU benchmark and am at 691, not bad for the kernel built into the rom! I am a bit confused on which one to install though, the uncapped or the capped. The capped is capped at 691, right? The uncapped needs a SetCPU installed, or does it just go as fast as it can push? Also is this undervolted like the kernel I was using for Fresh 2.4? Maybe I should stick with the 691, anybody that has a little experience using these kernels please give me some insight :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mac11700:
I'm using the uncapped version,and my phone is capable of running with out the perf lock..with JIT and compcache enabled.

headphones

i have previously used the oem sprint and freshrom after that, now im on vanilla froyo 16 sept and 2.6.29.6 uncapped #14 bf stable kernel.

In the past i could plug in headphones and talk over the phone mic. currently when i plug in the same pair of headphones the phone blocks the mic. i assume its routing the audio to the headphone mic, that dosnt exist.

any way to restore the mic audio back to the phones mic?

a2sd

I know this is probably best asked in the darktremor a2sd thread, but... i feel very noobish asking and so I figured maybe I'd ask here first.

I'd been holding off on setting up a2sd (apps to sd) mainly because I was always jumping from ROM to ROM and wasn't sure if it'd cause problems. Now that I've settled on CM6 as my primary ROM for the last few months I figured I'd give it a try.

So, have you (impaler) or anyone else for that matter set up a partition and begun using darktremor's a2sd, not the froyo version. The reason I'm a little thrown off is that I got everything set up correctly (I'm pretty sure) and yet using a2sd only saved me about 10mb of internal disk space. I had 21mb before (that was with using froyo's a2sd which still keeps some data on the phone's internal storage) and then after loading up the "true" a2sd my internal memory went up to 30mb.

I hear people saying they have over 100mb of space after using a2sd. Am I missing something? I didn't move dalvik-cache over initially, by the way. Is that the reason?

Anyway, I have a class 6 16gb card on it's way so if that's the case, then I'll be moving everything I can to the card soon enough. Just looking for your opinion on this. Maybe my expectations were just out of whack.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
It s undervolted, and you're correct, capped=691, uncapped=768. The uncapped should have either set cpu or the battery tweak installed. It really is faster to use the BFS kernel, whether its capped or uncapped. Let me know if this helps, or if you need anything else :)

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
In the control panel widget on CM6 stable there is an option to have 2G/3G switch. It doesn't seem to work.

Is there a setting I'm missing? I know 2G doesn't drain as much battery as 3G and I would like to have 3G off when screen is off and just leave 2G so that data still comes through.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
I was still able to use the mic with headphones, and I run the kernel, so it may be a rom issue. Reflash the rom, no wipe, and see if that fixes it. If so, then the kernel may actually be the issue for you. Let me know how it goes!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
Yes, I see a ramzswapk, and the kernel itself. Not sure which one, or if I need to do both. Like Fresh, run the module remover and then flash kernel. With this do I run ramzsapk then flash the kernel?

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
The ramzwap isn't needed unless you use compache (I don't use it), and it's not flashable from recovery anyways. Just download the kernel, place the zip on the base of your sd card (not in a folder), and flash! Let me know how it goes :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
I am using compache, but I will not use it until I get a bit better at adb since ramzswap needs to be pushed in (guessing). So I flash the uncapped then get the SetCPU app and use what settings, or do I even need it if it caps out at 768?

installing kernel now :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
You should use set cpu or the tweak, that way you can customize your settings. Here's what you would do to get the ramzswap.ko file in:

adb remount
adb push ramzswap.ko /system/lib/modules/
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:

Hi Impaler, first of all i'd like to thank you so much for all your help on the forums.

I've been running into a reoccurring problem where my phone will start to lag horribly. When this happens, I go into Autokiller and find that free memory has dropped to 12mb and below. I've set my Autokiller to moderate, optimum, strict, aggressive and it still exhibits this behavior. My understanding that if, say, I'm on moderate, the free memory should not dip below 30mb because the Android OS will kill background apps accordingly.

The only time the free memory would bounce above 30mb is whenever I do a reboot of the phone. After a couple hours of usage, things go out of whack and I get that lag.

My current solution for when this happens, is to manually kill apps/services in the Autokiller tabs. This works to fix the lag, but I'd rather it do it automatically.

Ever seen this problem?

ok, so I've been running cm6 for a few days now and at first, everything was running great. Then I wanted to see if I could get better battery life (I was getting about 2-3 hours with little to no use, absolutely terrible), so I read up and followed some suggestions. I started installing my apps on my sd card, flashed the brainfuct kernel (2.6.29.6, #7 I guess) and other minor tweaks. It seemed to be getting better. Now I get about 4-5 hours, still not great but better.

The big problem now is that everything on the phone is running very slow. From the keyboard, to the animations, using google maps because it never finds the gps, everything. The most annoying part is that the touch screen is becoming unresponsive, resulting in me having to use the trackball.

So, what can I do? Did I mess up by flashing a different kernel? Was it the apps to sd part? I'm so confused, not to mention frustrated. Everything worked flawlessly on a different rom, so I doubt it's my phone. Any suggestions?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
Well, I figured I ask so that someone can confirm if this works or not.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Well apps to sd can slow down your phone. Do you use autokiller from the market? If not I would download it and set it to strict or aggressive. Also, do you use set cpu or a battery tweak with the uncapped kernel?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtom2444:
I use task killer but HATE using it because it's so slow on my phone. Will have to try autokiller though. And no I haven't touch my cpu speed or any battery tweak. Should I?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Autokiller isn't a task killer... it sets Android's internal memory management to a higher level. And yes, you should use cpu speed tweaks with the uncapped kernel, this is most likely why your battery is so bad :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtom2444:
What speed should I set my cpu to? Or would you recommend a more "stable" kernel instead? I'm convinced I screwed up somewhere because every other app seems to fc now...

beautiful! i switched to Opera browser and intensively loaded up program after program, browsed with all 4 tabs for over an hour now and Autokiller is showing that free memory is above 40mb consistently.

You are a genius! I would have never suspected the default browser. I was about to give up on CM6 :P
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
That's probably due to the a2sd. For CPU speeds, I would do screen on 710-691 (unless your phone can handle 768 without crashing. If it can, I would do 768-691) and screen off profile to 354-245.
