Any chance, you can help me debug this problem? I don't notice this lag, and would very much like to solve this for the flykernel 12 final.

If you are willing to help me:

Try to compare flykernel 11c vs. 12pre1 vs. 12pre2 using both the performance governor and smartass (all at same speed of course). All versions are available on my FlyKernel thread. If you find the difference is only between 12pre1 and 12pre2, can you also test the 12pre1-cam32 version.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Rereading your post, I noticed you complained about specific apps (sorry it very late here). I will try to check these apps specifically tomorrow - maybe I will notice the lag myself as well. Is this lag very significant or is it something I can miss?

Try rebooting into recovery again and running the nandroid backup the first thing you do.

Also if you don't have an ext partition and try to do a "nand+ext backup" you'll get that message I think.

Finally, if all else fails, in the same recovery session where you tried it and it failed, select to copy the recovery log to the SD card (from the "other" menu I think) and attach the recovery.log so I can see what the problem is.

Hi I'm marleyfan61 and I'm a ROMaholic. My addiction began with VR12 and has become and almost weekly habit. It has gotten so bad that I am now practicing unsafe flashing. Although my nand backup wouldn't work I went ahead and flashed Floyo 1.2 anyway, coming from Ele's 2.2.1 Stock. I even did it without any wipe at all (hangs head in shame). After reading your suggestion I tried the nand backup again and it worked with no problem. I'm not sure why it didn't before. Anyway...I'm now on Floyo 1.2 with no safety net. So far though everything is running just fine. I'll wipe and reflash if I need to.

Thanks for your help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Can you please try these two alternative Sense Status bar builds: (in this order)

SenseStatusBar- (long shot but small :))

SenseStatusBar_

Please note, I didn't have time to test them at all, so it would be nice if you can also verify the theme itself looks ok and that are no other big problems with it.

In any case, the Floyo theme update from the first post should restore anything these updates do.

Let me know how it goes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
Thanks! Tested the first one, the long shot, and it seems to work great! Can't find anything different from that one and the original one, except this one is working :D ScummVM starts and runs great, and everything looks good. Haven't tested it more than 10minutes, but can't find anything wrong with it thus far.

Should I test the second one as well? What's the difference between them, except for the huge size?

Got to get some sleep now, but if you need me to test the second one, I can probably do that tomorrow. :)

Thanks a lot for the support and for fixing this :)

Good night!

Edit: Oh, I see why the other one is so big. It contains monkeys in jars! Sorry.. I'm too tired.. It wasn't fun at all! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yadabwoy:
thanks downloading now
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dully79:
1,2 running perfect for me, as with all your releases.

I'll send a donation when i recover from my broken neck and get back to work.

2 thumbs up.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Ok thanks, updated first post to link to this version :)

I guess if this version works good, no need for the second "bloated" version. The second version is built even cleaner but is bigger because of it - basically I rebuilt the entire ROM from source with these changes and then do a recursive diff to find all files that have changed.... I'll keep it around for a few days, so if you do find problems with the "SenseStatusBar-" version you can try the second one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] peachananr:
Music issues again

This is a great release. Makes me wanna try Froyo again after a long break from all the froyo roms, but still one issue that keeps bothering me with all the froyo roms is that music playback causes major lag.

It is barely unusable when mobile network and music are both on. I've tried mort player, winamp with same results.

Do you guys happen to know why that is the case for all froyo roms?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mansn:
I have exactly the same issue, but I thought I was the only one having it!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] row1:
I have mobile on AND listen via Bluetooth audio and it works fine. Try flashing an over clocked kernel or setting the CPU speed. I use Fly Kernel 11C @ 614 Mhz.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] peachananr:
That's strange. I have tried all that. Tried different overclocks from 614 - 710 but still the swiping and everything seems to slow down a lot compare to without having the music on. I have been having this issue ever since froyo is released.

Do you noticed any slow down in swiping through menus and homescreens?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] row1:
Only on rare occasions. It is usually relatively smooth. I am using ADW launcher and did a full wipe before installing. I am using APP2SD with a class 4 SD card.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZeppeMan:
Ok, I tried 11c, 12pre1 and 12pre2. Especially with 12pre2 I have more lag.

it's almost everything when I'm scrolling or sliding screens. Maybe it's Launcher Pro? Because I tried Zeam Launcher too with 12pre2 and then everything was normal again (just like with 11c). But when I use Launcher Pro with 11c everything is smooth.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Under Control:
Hi there,

I accidentally replaced the center icon in the dockbar with the SMS icon. Now, I'am unable to go to my installed apps. Is there a way to change it back to the original icon?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
Wow, a lot of work for this small thing.

Thanks!

I'll let you know if I find any problems :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Is there any scenario where you find it unbearable without mobile network (I don't have a data plan and want to try and recreate it)? Which launcher are you using? Which cpu frequencies and governor?

Is that also with the performance governor?

I have tried to recreate it with 12pre2 and ADW launcher which I regular use, and in this setup, both the xda app and mini opera work fine for me. I will try to install launcher pro and check it with that when I have time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] peachananr:
I think you can feel major slowdown even without mobile network.

I am using Launcher Pro 8.2, using winamp playing music. SetCPU is used with 480 - 652 smartass. Let it play for a while and start multi tasking with it (swiping through home screens etc.) It's not as smooth as 2.1 even with sense.

This might have something to do with the slowness: 150 apps installed, just converted to ext4.

CM performance settings: JIT on, surface dither off, comcache disabled, vm heap: 24m

PS. I've done some testing, it seems to happen no matter what launcher I used.

I hope this helps. :) Not many people mentioned about this issue so it could be because of my setups.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZeppeMan:
When I set it too performance governor the lag is gone. But the strange thing is with 11c (flykernel-11c-CM-614-176-nologo.zip) everything is just smooth, without changing anything. Maybe it's because of the lower voltages?

EDIT:

With ADW Launcher I don't have any lag. So, it must be something with Launcher Pro? Never had it before. I will try full wipe and test on both Floyo and Froydvillain.

I report back when finished :)

EDIT2:

For some reason the lag in Froydvillain is gone after a full wipe. In fact 12pre2 seems a bit more responsive then 11c. I don't know what the problem was, but it's solved now.

Thx for your help :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Cortiis:
Yeh look like the wait is over, for now though :-) Well, installed Floyo 1.2.0 yesterday and the report is - it's running flawlessly. Not a single FC since yesterday. Everything (Internet, Wi-fi, GPS, etc.) is as it should be. And the battery is performing really good. Overnight I just lost 5%. Looks like we have a good one on our hand.

I wiped, used File explorer to install Titanium Backup, then used Titanium to reinstall everything and believe me, no issues. Yehhh....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] qrweqrwe:
Hey buddy, I recovery the rom with full wipe. By using two days, I feel my battery lose so fast. Whether the problem with rom or flykernel 12 pre?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
Very good rom so far. I prefer this over VR1.7.2 for a couple of reasons.

- Same performance (Linpack 4.5+) but feels smoother with LauncherPro

- apps2SD apps2ext both seem to work fine without issues

- No more reboots on enabling GPS (always had this with several VR-releases)

- Gallery3D always works very well out of the box on Floyo

- The Sense black interface looks very nice, especially together with the new Gingerbread keyboard (third one from this post)

Very happy so far erasmux, thanks a lot for your work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
Can you write a little guide on how to get it working? That would be excellent.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nmeuret:
Installed this morning during my breakfast, works perfectly for me :

- Coming from 1.1.8, full wipe,

- All apps and settings remains, nothing to reinstall,

- GPS seems to be much better now !

- Launcher Pro, GingerBread Key, Galery 3D ... everythink ok,

- Keep it on 12pre2, looks fine for me.

Thanx a lot for your job !!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DjoeN:
Press long on the center icon in the dockbar, normally you can choose now a new action for that button. (It's in LauncherPro, dunno if it's the same for ADWLauncher, just try :) )
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CrazyDelta:
Thank you erasmux. Had been waiting for this one after my great experience with version 1.1.9.

Cheers dude.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BRijpstra:
Hi, just finished the blueMagnum theme for Floyo 1.2.0. :cool:!

could anybody flash it and confirm it's fine?

Your phone should end up like this (but the screens are from 1.1.9)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Under Control:
Thanks for your reply:), but I already tried that and it didn't help. I've also checked in the settings, but couldn't find it in there either.

I was used to the trashbin that appears in the center of the dockbar, but in this new version of Floyo the trashbin appears under the statusbar. I hope it's possible to change the dockbar back to it's original state.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I am confused, is there a problem or isn't there? If there is one, in which scenario?

Also note, that using the performance governor is only for troubleshooting the lag problems - it will eat your battery for breakfast if you use it regularly (although with a sleep profile it might not be such a bad solution...).

I will still try to play with launcher pro when I have time and see if I find the problem.

Try charging it to full battery overnight (don't stop when the light turns green or it reaches 100% but charge a few hours more). Then test battery life over at least a few hours, preferably a few days.

If this doesn't help you, detail exactly what battery life you are experiencing in what phone usage.

It's a new ADW version :). There must be some way to restore the app drawer button. I don't have time to play with this now, but should have time this evening. I guess if your desperate you can always clear the app data for ADW from the app manager....

Let me know if you find the solution.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
-Boot to recovery

-Do a nandroid backup

-Flash zip gapps-mdpi-20101020-signed.zip (obtained from http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/)

-Reboot and let the phone boot fully

-wipe the Market cache

-Boot to recovery

-Flash zip update.zip (obtained from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=869652 From the line that says "FOR ROM Cyanogen 6..")

-Reboot

Should now work. If not, do a nandroid restore or push Vending.apk from Floyo and reboot to get the old market back:)

You might not have to wipe market cache and it's possible you can just flash the new market-update.zip right after the gapps file. I just posted the way I made it work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Couldn't resist, and tried it myself, now I'm stuck with google search as my center button :(

EDIT: Ok, google helped my find the solution :):

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/11826-cm61-howto-bring-back-the-drawer-in-the-adwlauncher/

You have to give them credit, they hide this pretty good :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:
I did it this way too :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] androidnisse:
How do i uninstall the amazon app? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
I flashed market directly after the gapps and it works fine. Booting took a while but it's fine. Looks polished and a lot nicer compared to the old one! Thanks a lot for prepping the guide :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Under Control:
Big thanks for your support:D!!! Everything works great again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZeppeMan:
The problem was gone after I did a full wipe and reinstalled FroydVillain with 12pre2. Settings are the same as before on 11c (614/176 smartass).

Now Launcher Pro is running smooth, and the ROM seems a bit more responsive. Maybe something went wrong during the flash of the ROM/kernel?

Anyway, problem is gone, everything is working perfectly :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
My pleasure :) Glad to help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bteong0:
I think it could be your battery. Any sign of swelling / expending on ur battery? Mine is expended and looks like my battery is near end of life. Fully charged at night and after 6.5 hrs. the battery is about 40% left ( with wifi on, and left over night)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] El Salvador:
Don't know if this has already been mentioned but I'm experiencing some troubles with syncing my facebook contacts. It does not sync all the pictures and some of them are only partially synced turning up to show only a part of the picture.

Is there a fix out there to solve this problem?

For the rest, this is a great ROM. Appreciate all the hard work you guys put into this!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
You can try the Market app SyncMyPix. It doesn't connect your contacts, but it does sync the pics from Facebook with your contacts.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:
loving the ROM thank you... only thing is my battery life seems to be dropping much faster than latest version of Elelinux?

why does it differ so much between each CM6 ROM sometimes!?? From what meets the eye they all look pretty much the same.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjaggeruk:
Love the rom after day 1 but battery life not as good as floyo 119 mate
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
Just a quick question. I tried the hands-free on Floyo now, and it displays the headphones (with no mic) icon. It might be normal behavior, but I think on my last rom (be it Floyo 1.1.9 or FV 1.5.0) the icon was different if I used hands-free or headset. If it had a mic or not. The hands-free had a little mic on the icon, and the headphones icon didn't.

That might be the rom or theme (Sense).

It's no big deal.. in fact it's nothing. I just noticed :)

Then again, it might have been the Droid Essentials that had these two different icons. Doesn't matter though.

Just wondering.. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Battery life should be the same with previous CM6-based ROMs (maybe a tad bit better because of the 12pre2 kernel).

Like I said in previous posts, try to reboot the phone, recharging it to full (overnight, don't stop when it reaches 100%). Then test it over a few days under your normal usage.

If you still want to report bad battery life, detail as much as possible, how much do the battery last? Under what usage? What are cpu settings you are using? etc.

I believe it was/is only in sense ROMs that they have a special icon for the hands-free. In any case I didn't change anything regarding this in 1.2.0 - so at least in Floyo 1.1.9 it should be the same.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
unfortunately it does not work for me, market app starts the first time then continuosly FC :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ePh432:
Took the leap in installing my first Froyo ROM.

Had some initial problems with some apps but so far able to resolve by reinstall.

Misses the following Sense features, are there alternatives?

- 4x4 Calendar widget

- Calendar sync with Exchange.. the Exchange appointments just ain't showing up on calendar.

- Quick Office that came with HTC.. is it the same as the free version in Market?

- Chinese handwrite input

Hopefully this can be my daily use ROM. Will report any other deficiency encounters.

Thanks for bringing this ROM to the community. Can imagine it being super time consuming effort.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
- calendar pad

- don't know sorry

- I suppose yes, but also documents to go on the market is free for the reader only

- don't know, I suppose that's possible to integrate that on this rom, since there are others that have this feature
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
Yeah, you may be right. Doesn't matter though, I was just curious :)

It's all good as it is. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
Launcher Pro also has an 4x4 calendar widget. It's pretty nice, but I miss the feature to be able to choose what calendars to show.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
I had that as well, and it was solved (at least for me) by having the old market installed, flashing the new gapps, testing that the "new" old market worked after flashing gapps (gapps-mdpi-20101020-signed.zip), clearing market cache, and flashing new Market from recovery.

Don't know why it wouldn't work for you :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zorxd:
Could you summarize the differences/advantages of your ROM over the official CM6.1?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
I guess the biggest differences would be:

-Kernel

-"Old" style Apps2SD

-Google Apps (CM doesn't come with gapps? Or does it?)

Correct me if I'm wrong, and I very well might be :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] abucan:
Quick Office is already installed, but you don't see it in app drawer. When you view some pdf or doc, it opens in Quick Office.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] abucan:
-HTC_IME mod keyboard that works "out of the box" (no FC)

-no wakeup issues (different sleep speeds)

-doesn't have Rom manager installed (you don't need it)

On some ROMs I spend some time removing stuff that I don't need, and adding staff manually that isn't in the market. Floyo is just right.

Floyo 1.2.0 "Just works"
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] floomat:
this doesnt work for me in any form i do it..

i even pushed it via adb.. :(

could you help me?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] peachananr:
So apparently no one is having this issue? I guess it is my setup that is causing this.

One question, does your froyo rom is as smooth as the eclair rom? i mean in terms of scrolling through settings menu (i see some lag here whereas it doesn't seems to be the case for RCMix 2.2b (2.1) rom)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
the only way i got it to work is to push the other apk (not the zip) via adb, its working fine now finally
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ePh432:
Realized the 'problem' is due to me opening a .docx file. Quick fix for this is just to install alternative from the market I guess.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dikabuzz9447:
After trying for few days, this ROM is definitely better than the other Froyo ROM i ever had in my hero..and the battery is as i expect, its nice.

thanx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I am guessing its something you installed on the ROM. Did you use titanium backup to restore stuff?

I suggest you try to do a full wipe again (you can keep a backup of your current situation now). Flash only the Floyo-1.2.0.zip and nothing else and verify that the problem does not occur. Then start installing your apps until you find what is causing the problem....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
With ADW, meridian and ~40 apps I don't have this problem. I didn't have time yet to install launcher pro and check how it behaves with it. But in any case I can't install 150 apps just to test this....

If you wish to help isolate the problem, you can, after a nand+ext backup of your current configuration, just for the testing, do a full wipe, install only winamp and check if with winamp and a clean ROM (ADW launcher), does the problem still hold? If not what is the minimal setup I need to recreate your problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DjoeN:
Launcher Pro (Full) 0.8.2, around 45 apps (including winamp), using themes and widgets, 5 screens and 3 docks, new market and gingerbread keyboard, Still working smooth, Floyo 1.2.0 works fluent and fast
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
Just for fun I've flashed Floyo1.2 directly on top of 1.1.9 without doing a wipe. We'll see how it goes. :D

EDIT: never mind. got nervous about it and went ahead and did a full wipe. :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GZFan:
I flashed the CM-original theme.

Now I'm not able anymore to set the 'bounce' in the scroll-setting. The settings aren't visible!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cenata:
Great ROM!

I'm using it since 1.1.9 no problems at all. Keep up the good work! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
Almost same setup. Not the GB keyboard though, but have 100+ apps (incl. Winamp), and everything is smooth and fast. Oc'ed a bit though, but it shouldn't do much difference.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Can you please specify which settings exactly is disappearing for you, I didn't find any "bounce" setting in the regular Floyo theme.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GZFan:
Now I remember the word: I mean 'overscrolling'...

I can't enable overscrolling since I flashed the original CM theme...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I'll try to look into this when I have the time.

Can anyone confirm or deny this is indeed a bug with CM untouched theme?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tagore:
There's something I wanted to ask you some time ago, I see on your signature you overclock to 614 and I wanted to know if this is the maximum speed in a safe way you found with your kernel and rom, or if we can safety go beyond that. I assume what we want is go to the maximum speed on the safe frame, I dont want any collateral problems at all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
I overclock to 691 right now. Works great. I can go higher, but I don't feel the need.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
cant imagine battery life is that good at 691?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Cortiis:
Look at my signature. I am at 38% after almost 36 hours. Works great for me. :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tagore:
If I dont complain soon means battery life and rest is good, I´ve just changed to 691 after see the comments. I'm crossing fingers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LTourist:
Yeah, I used Titanium Backup... Will do that when I have some time... This is strange as I have the exact same apps as on Floyo 1.1.9 and then FroydVillain 1.7.2 on which I stayed a month for the first one and 2 days on the second...

Anyway, thanks for this advice
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LTourist:
Great battery life here, even @748Mhz... I'm consedering to use the 691 kernel, for my phone lifetime, but I don't know if there is any difference, as the phone don't burn much at this speed rather than 528... I really don't understand how that's possible by the way :D
