Yeah, it did, but unfortunately it was necessary on many devices because the /cache partition was too small and dalvik was causing bootloops.
[HTC Aria Android Development] G1-8701:
has anyone tried cyanogen's 6.1 stable rom yet?
[HTC Aria Android Development] p2600:
Yes, I have been running the CM6 V6.1.0-RC2 since the beging of time of its realease and have been all good news for me. Very stable.

(nice to haves: text-to-speech widget and dialerOne)
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
He's talking about the CM 6.1 Final release and I don't believe it is out yet for the Aria.

Almost!
[HTC Aria Android Development] churapa:
Just flashed Latest version: 6.1.0-Aria - 12/06/2010, testing it now.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
Aw yeah! Here it be! Thanks attn1!

Doing a full wipe and formatting SD for this one!
[HTC Aria Android Development] joshua54:
Just downloaded! Its freaking awesome! Thanks again attn1 and the team!
[HTC Aria Android Development] iJudgeMAN:
I just installed the update, and I was wondering if anyone is having issues with the Messaging on the lockscreen. When I swipe the messaging over, it does nothing. The phone, unlock, and sound works fine. Any ideas? Other than that minor mishap, so far so good! Loving the rom!
[HTC Aria Android Development] jznomoney:
There is option with it to select the default app.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tat2me2:
If you don't mind me asking, what "Messaging" on the lockscreen are you talking about?

Wi-fi problem still exists for me!

[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
It does not for most people. Based on feedback from several ROM iterations, this wifi driver is the most stable of all those tested for most. If you have a problem with it, I suggest you start looking for other causes.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Script:
Installed CM6.1. Simply amazing. I have no complaints. Just a question or two, which might be answered on an opinionated basis, or might differ from user to user.

Here goes...

Since looking at the changelog, and notice so many updates, mainly ones that effect system files and features. Has anyone tried doing a standard upgrade(just install update in clockwork, without wiping), and then did a full system wipe and reinstall all of your apps? Just wondering if some of the updates to the rom would work even after doing a full wipe.

I am going to do a complete wipe and install the latest official release, and run benchmarks doing a regular update vs full wipe, and installing the same apps. Just wondering if anyone thinks it could make any difference or make this even better than it already is.

Please post your opinions and thoughts please... just curious. Thanks!

Benchmark using Quadrant Advance... after updating without a full wipe. Post your results as well. Ill post a benchmark of the results after full wipe.

Also Linpack 1.1.7

Sent from my Liberty using CM 6.1.0(12/6/2010)
[HTC Aria Android Development] iJudgeMAN:
Thank you! I saw that and clicked it, but didn't dive further than seeing the default options. I clicked application and chose Messaging, and now it is working fine.

Menu->CyanogenMod Settings->Input Settings->Check Phone and Messaging

It allows you to unlock and go straight to the phone or messaging application, and it has the regular unlock options below.
[HTC Aria Android Development] loursonbrun:
Hi all,

I have downloaded the 6.1 ROM, installed it on my phone and everything is working great - thanks again attn1!

Now I would like to do some testing/dev with it; instead of tampering with my device.

I created a NANdroid back-up and then tried running the ROM on the SDK emulator following threads instructions found over here and other forums, e.g. :

http://xdaforums.com/arch.../t-572497.html

http://xdaforums.com/show...=525930&page=2

http://android.modaco.com/content/ge...he-market-etc/

The emulator seems to be running OK, but the kernel gets stuck before it even gives me the boot animation. (- c.f. below for the parameters passed and the kernel boot log; adb logcat does not report anything at all -)

Anyone has been able to run this particular ROM on the SDK emulator or may give me pointers as to how to do so successfully?

Thank you.
[HTC Aria Android Development] churapa:
Can anyone help me with two issues I'm having with this new ROM?

1.- How do I delete and/or replace the clock and AT&T's logo from the Lockscreen.

2.- I can't place anything (app or widget) in the upper part of my Homescreen, every time I try to do so, a trash basket pops down from the taskbar preventing me from doing so (It's really annoying).

Any help would be much appreciated.
[HTC Aria Android Development] kfuzion:
1. - To remove the ATT logo from the lockscreen: Menu>Settings>CyanogenMod settings>User Interface>Date and Provider. From here, uncheck "Display PLMN(lockscreen)". If you set the alpha of the PLMN label color to 0, "ATT" will also be gone from the status bar. I don't know about getting rid of the clock however.

2. - I agree this is pretty annoying/a poor design choice, but I find that if you drag a widget immediately beneath the trash can(within ~1mm), you can place a widget at the top. Alternatively, if you just place it in the center, you can resize(elongate) it/drag it to the top, then shrink it from the bottom.

As for quadrant benchmark speeds: I installed over a fairly stripped version of CM 6.1RC2, which got 922 and 952 on 2 consecutive runs. After installing CM6.1, I scored 945 and 970.. so a decent ~2% gain in speed.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Bob889:
Yeah, I was curious about the same thing... interested in seeing your results after you do factory wipe.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Rors:
Is there anyway to access Handcent through that? I put it on and it just swipes across on the lockscreen and doesnt do anything!

Ignore that, I'm stupid. The option's right below...

Again, great ROM. Nice work attn1!
[HTC Aria Android Development] Script:
Here is a screenshot of the quadrant scores after a clean install of 6.1 and also about 65-70 apps of mine. I believe the performance is a little better all around after a clean install.

The xda app says the image isn't a valid format. But the score is 1265.

Not bad. Running solid and as stable as I could imagine. Great job guys.

Ill post linpack momentarily
[HTC Aria Android Development] Bob889:
thanks, i think I'm going to do the same and do a full wipe
[HTC Aria Android Development] kfuzion:
So previously I got a score of 952 on 6.1RC2, then 970 on 6.1 installed over 6.1RC2, and now after doing a clean install, I got a score of 981. So possibly a 1% speed increase by doing a clean install- i.e. semi-negligible, but not bad.

1265?! How? (p.s. killing every process that typically runs on your phone is kind of cheating :p )
[HTC Aria Android Development] pcruz:
Attn1 and cyanogen must be feeding LIberty CM6 steroids because my phone feels blazing fast after installing 6.1 thanks for doing all the work!
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
I installed 6.1 earlier and so far so good. Performance seems slightly smoother. I've been playing around with the CompCache settings...any suggestions? I currently have it set on 10%.

Great job ATTN1.
[HTC Aria Android Development] plumberchuck:
where else is the new update download thread at, cyanogen won't let me download ( yes I signed in ).
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
The trash basket issue is adw.launcher not the cm6. When they updated it they moved the trash basket to the top instead of keeping it on the bottom. Its very annoying and One of a few reasons I switched to LauncherPro after the recent adw updates. I guess you could always pull an adwlauncher.apk out of an old cm6 rom and put it in place of the current adwlauncher.apk release
[HTC Aria Android Development] plumberchuck:
sorry for the question long day head up ***
[HTC Aria Android Development] zervic:
So...here's a question for ya...mind is boggled on this one...when i went to install cm6-6.1.0 (the latest release) I did a clean wipe, formatted my sd card...everything...well prior to this I had moved some applications (most that weren't necessary to show up right at the boot up...well once i formatted, clean wiped data etc...and got the ROM installed...all of those apps started coming back...slowly but surely...not to mention my background from before the wipe was still there...

is this a dalvik cache issue? Reason I ask this is because -- everytime i go to wipe dalvik cache nothing happens it just goes back to the main screen...any thoughts on this one?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Moh_Jay:
Its cyanogen, if u went to performance settings and checked keep in memory, your phone saves a "blueprint" of most of the stuff u had before the wipe.
[HTC Aria Android Development] zervic:
Don't think so...all that's there is to keep the launcher / messaging app in memory to keep anything from killing it :|
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
Google remembers what apps you have installed through the market and will reinstall all of them once you re-add the Google account during the initial setup. The only way to prevent it from happening is to SKIP the step where you set up your Google account during the initial setup. Once you are at the home screen, go to Settings > Privacy, and disable "Automatic restore". You might also have to disable "Back up my data", I'm not sure. Once you've done that, you can add your Google account from Settings > Accounts & sync. When you are prompted, don't let it backup your settings to Google's servers.

When you disable "Back up my data", it brings up a message saying that it will delete all your backed up settings on Google's servers if you disable it. Unfortunately, it's lying. If you re-enable the setting, your old apps will magically reappear anyway. I'm not sure if it just doesn't work right or if there is a grace period before it will actually clear the data. To be safe, you might want to set up your phone with the setting disabled, then do a Nandroid backup, then enable it to see if it installs apps. If so, just revert to your Nandroid backup.

As far as Dalvik cache goes, I know there isn't a confirmation message that the clear was successful, but it does in fact clear the Dalvik cache. This is unrelated to the automatic re-installation of your apps though.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tleung11:
just a quick note here.

6.1.0 is just working what it should work (except radio, when will source code release?).

I think I can't live with other rom without setcpu, I underclock it while screen off and I don't need to charge it everyday if I only use phone/sms.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Script:
im not killing every process lol. i have weather widget, handscent sms widget, setcpu, and several others all running. SetCPU is set at 806mhz max and 245mhz min, ondemand. and set at 245mhz powersave when screen off.

i saved the 1265 screenshot on my other pc. ill upload it later. Benchmarks dont really matter all that much. I am just happy with an amazing, and blazing fast OS for our phones. Couldnt have been done without cyanogen and attn1, and everyone else helping on the project.
[HTC Aria Android Development] barisahmet:
Yeah still checking other causes but I tried everything. Still wifi works perfect on Liberated and I cant get it work on CM. It was good before 6.1RC, but idk what to do. There

must

be some problem with rom. Or.. My phone?

P.S: No compliments here, I just wanna get to use this great rom :) Just a noob question, if I want to use this rom with Liberated's wifi driver, is that possible?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Milx:
I think this is because of google sync. i had that happen too, i just do a factory reset and thing will be like normal again =p
[HTC Aria Android Development] :
Froyo backs up a list of your apps and restores upon a new install. It will even bring back the wallpaper you had.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Milx:
can we use setcpu in cm6.1 without need to install kernel anything already ? we can directly oc it ?
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
The differences between the Nexus and Liberty regarding FM Radio are pretty large because of audio output differences between hardware components qdsp5_comp (Liberty) and qdsp6 (Nexus One). Yes, they share radio tuner components, but the code to make audio work on msm7227 boards is still an HTC mystery.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
What version of Liberated are you using? The latest uses the same wifi driver we are using today in CM6. Earlier on, we tried some flaky drivers that a minority of people preferred because they connected correctly for them, but they frequently lost connection and had stifled throughput for most others.

Things to try:

adb shell rm /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

This deletes your wifi data. Sometimes my wireless data gets corrupted during ROM updates. I have no idea why this happens.

Make sure you are not using any task killers or any other software that otherwise attempts to control wifi services.

Try different access points. Sometimes software that works on some does not on others. While we get best results with MOST access points with this driver, I know there can be problems with some.

If you can isolate this issue to some or just your own access point, then try a firmware update for your access point. If that fails, you can possibly try alternate firmware. We are getting excellent results from dd-wrt on Linksys equipment, for example. I use openwrt on a Buffalo router.

And yes, as a last resort, an alternate kernel could built and flashed. Cyanogen has provided an alternate driver (does not work properly for me) in the new kernel source. By default, the driver HTC uses for Liberty is bcm4329_204, which cyanogen enables with an option switch in the build config. There is also a bcm4329 driver included in the current source repo at https://github.com/cyanogenMod/htc-kernel-msm7227
[HTC Aria Android Development] DougG_ATL:
attn1, just wanted to thank you again for your work on CM6 for Aria users. The new 6.1 is running smoothly and quickly on mine, as have the nightly builds throughout the process. I appreciate your time and energy.

GPS

Here's a strange issue for you. My GPS is WAY off. Like 30-60 MILES off, but says it is up to date. Even claims to get my exact GPS location on google maps, but it is showing me way off.

I am running 6.1 Stable upgraded from 6.1 nightly (135 i think?)

I cleared cache and dalvik as well.

Any ideas?

Otherwise I am very happy with the ROM, very fast, and seems damn stable.

[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
Is anyone else having issues with Exchange? I can setup my Exchange email account just fine and it syncs my contacts, calendar and email initially but my email always seems to stop syncing.

I have my phone set to sync the last 3 days and the check frequency is set to Automatic. This morning I left the office for a couple of hours and received no notifications of email on my phone and nothing new in my inbox. When I got back to the office I have 6 new email messages on my computer that are not showing on my phone. I turned off wifi on my phone and forced a refresh in the email client and still nothing. No sync errors show up that I can see either.

I always seem to run into this issue with CM6 but not with Liberated. Go figure. Everything else with this rom is running beautifully.
[HTC Aria Android Development] G1-8701:
yea thanx attn1, your one of the main reasons i got the Aria, cause i seen they had a developer that was constantly working on roms for the phone, cause i had came from the touch pro 2 which was a nice phone but had horrible roms and not really any updates that was worth it(plus the roms made the phone run even slower that it was, never goin back to windows mobile, i missed my android) but thanx for all your hard work and i hope u and the other developer keep updating the Aria cause it's really a great phone(look how far the G1 has come and it's still goin strong), and yall made it so much better
[HTC Aria Android Development] barisahmet:
I am using Liberated FR007 ( just because I couldnt get wifi work properly on CM :/ ) And openwrt on Linksys device as well. Thank you very much for the suggestions, I am going to give 'em a try and report back soon for possible other minority wifi-problematic people (I have seen a few in that wifi thread).
[HTC Aria Android Development] tribestros:
Yes, thank you for all the hard work on developing ROMs for the Aria...we may be a few, but we are Aria lovers! Haha. I'm going to flash this ROM in hopes it's nice! I just keep going back to Sense.
[HTC Aria Android Development] kryptiq:
attn1- Thanks for the time and effort you've spent on this I love this ROM. I simply cannot believe I never rooted and flashed something like this to my Aria earlier.
[HTC Aria Android Development] krypticos:
thank you everyone that worked on this rom. i think my wife is going to love this for her first android. i couldnt leave sense on it. it was just way way to laggy. anyways there is one problem that im having.

it seems like adw is just hogging the hell out of the processor. i mean i can unlock my phone and then its frozen for 3-5 min before the processor drops and i can use it. also it freezes going back to adw from an app it will fc sometimes. when i check and see whats using the processor it says adw.launcher/contacts storage i have no idea what that is but it will use up to 87% of the processor for no reason that i know of.

please if anyone can help i would be very grateful. this is my wife xmas gift and i want it to be great for her first android because she love my nexus one. :-)

update did a dalvik and cache wipe and seems to be better now.
[HTC Aria Android Development] djmaddogfreal:
I havent had any issues with exchange. Everything syncs nice nice
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Ah, well the FR007 ROM is using a kernel we don't have source to yet. I am anxious to see it and look at the wifi drivers, but I think they will break apmode on AOSP/CM6 builds. This is the reason we could not use later HTC drivers from other BCM4329 devices on CM6, and why third party kernels don't have working built in hotspot on the FR007 ROM.

HTC does Hotspot differently than AOSP.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
No issues with Exchange here on my Aria either.
[HTC Aria Android Development] krypticos:
i havent tried it on my aria but i know on my nexus one i always uninstall the stock email and install the email with out security and it works great with cm6.1
[HTC Aria Android Development] Script:
Mine is doing something similar. I have exchange set up using gmail for Email, Contacts, and the Calendar. I opened Gmail app on my phone about 20 minutes ago and had no new messages. And about 5 minutes later 7 messages came through at the same time. The first message was delayed about an hour before it was pushed through to my phone, and the last message was delayed about 10 minutes.

I dont know if it is something in the ROM, or if its on Gmails side.

Are you using a corporate exchange account, or something free like GMail?
[HTC Aria Android Development] dindin1212:
I was having similar issues with my exchange on RC1 and RC2. My problem was just as you describe it; in order to fix it, I had to reboot the phone. I cleared the darvik cache and upgraded to 6.1 final and haven't noticed it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
I use the Android email client for my corporate Exchange account and I use GMail for personal stuff but they are separate.

On past releases I could get it temporarily syncing again with a reboot as well. When I installed CM 6.1 final I did a complete wipe of the phone, dalvik, cache partition and data wipe/factory reset. I even formatted the SD card after installing not that I needed to.

I went back to Liberated FR007 but I'm going to nandroid it and put CM 6.1 back in and see if I can figure out what is going on. Thanks for the responses.
[HTC Aria Android Development] kaschenberg:
Is it possible to open up more options for the hotspot? For instance.. I'd like to choose the channel I'm broadcasting... maybe hide the SSID? Need more options! Everything is too automated for my taste - I like to take control of it more.

This has been happening for me on CM6 roms for a while. Every few weeks, it seems to bog down for a few days, and then it magically clears itself up. Nothing I do ever seems to help.
[HTC Aria Android Development] barisahmet:
I have replaced my router with worse one and it's working like charm now. Even better than liberated. But I'm still curious about the problem. Anyways, I'm happy now lol.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
I see what you mean; compared to the Wifi Tether program we used in 2.1, the AOSP 2.2 hotspot is kind of limited.

Yeah, because it's AOSP, it's possible to add features. It's beyond my abillity, but I don't think it's beyond the ability of the rest of the people contributing to the project. With over 20 devices on CM6 now, there are a lot of people contributing their time and code.

The trick is to find someone able to do it that would think it's a good use of their time.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
If you have a linksys, try dd-wrt instead of openwrt.
[HTC Aria Android Development] bsirak:
Couple of non-issue, purely cosmetic questions for you. Is it possible to completely do away with adw-launcher and use launcher pro exclusively? I'm talking about not even installing ADW.

Also, I'm wondering if someone could point me in the direction of how to add things to the google apps download so the apps take up different memory. I'm able to delete any program from a gapps zip, but I cannot add things like reader and books.

I guess I'm basically asking how to insert .apks into a .zip file so they are installed without using adb, as I'm apparently too stupid to be able to figure out how to even install it, let alone use it.

Also, huge apology to attn1. You were right about the battery drain issue (or non-issue, as it were). Everytime I was updating to the next nightly I was clearing my battery stats, and not necessarily when the battery was completely full. I've allowed it to recover somewhat and then did a complete wipe WITHOUT clearing battery stats. HUGE difference. Again, please accept my humblest apology. Great work.
[HTC Aria Android Development] kaschenberg:
I guess it's not a big deal really when I think of this now - I can probably find an app in the market that suits my needs. Thanks for the input though.
[HTC Aria Android Development] zervic:
Well, once you figure out your gapps issue you can use that knowledge to get rid of ADW launcher APK in the ROM zip and place the launcher pro apk in there ;)

I personally don't know how to do it. I tried doing a UOT circle bat mod with some icons and placing that inside the ROM zip then resigning it but it just hung at the boot animation for an hour before I gave up, wiped data and flashed the original ROM zip...so I did something wrong and I'm not sure what :S
