How about adding a swapfile to the next version? This would help with browser reloading issues whenever you switch to another application and come back.

I was thinking the swapfile could either reside on /data (since everybody already uses apps2sd, there's plenty of space) or on /cache instead of the sdcard to save on wear.

Thoughts?

+1 I like your idea, dwang

@Cyanogen

Thank you for amazing build, dispute few minor quirks, I'm sure it'll all work out anytime soon. Just a suggestion, make disclaimer section and "experimental" bold red

Thank you for the quick reply dwang. But I looked at the first post and I cant find the 3.3.5 version. All he has up there is the experimental version which is the 3.3.6 and the stable 3.2. So is there a place where he has all his ROMS listed for download or is the services.jar file floating around here somewhere? Please let me know.

How to go back to an ext2 environment?

Please read my whole post before you assume I'm an idiot and refer me to the first post. I've read it thouroughly and it did not help.

I know that 3.3.6 updates my partition to ext3. My question was how do I go back to using a rom that only supprts ext2? In cyan's first post he says it should work just fine, but it does not. I have tried the dudes 1.2b and jachero r1.4 and neither have recognized and mounted my ext3 partition. Do I have to format my partition with paragon and start over? Or is there another way? Any help would be appreciated.

Steps for speaker sound in 3.3.6 (Ubuntu OS)

Thanks for everyones support...BTW, I read 'complaning' vs 'constructive' in any case, here is my input....

1. Copy services.jar from 3.3.5 (to many different systems to list 'how to') to your desktop
----It is located in system/framework---
2. Connect G1
# adb remount
3. Push to G1 - give full path to Desktop
# adb push /home/david/Desktop/services.jar /system/framework/services.jar
4. Goto G1 to reboot
# adb shell
5. I always reboot
# reboot
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: If you do not have adb setup in your path then use th "./" in front of adb
(# ./adb push /home/david/Desktop/services.jar /system/framework/services.jar)

HQ over EDGE/3G is already on this build, well on 3.3.6 at least. I'm using it right now.

Oops, didn't even realize, didn't get to try it yet lol

Or maybe compcache support? I think jf may have already patched that into one of his builds.

EDIT: Nevermind, from another thread it says it doesn't work.

wont install apps on a phone without ex2 partition keep getting installation error insufficient space anyway to fix this earlier you said it would work so there must be a way to get it to work on a phone without ex2 partition

sleepy_sanchez · Jun 5, 2009

insufficient storage error

I still have insufficient storage error when installing apps with version 3.3.6. I've installed 3.3.5 without wiping and then wiped and installed 3.3.5. Then I've upgraded to 3.3.6

bolmedias · Jun 5, 2009

I don't know if this is just me having problems, but for some reason the HTC keyboard is not showing under settings. Anyone else having this problem?

Also, what is this thing about a sound problem with 3.3.6? I can't see any problem.

I thought about automatically activating swap if you have a third partition. Anything more than about 32M causes the phone to slow down, though.

I'm gonna try compcache from their Mercurial repository. Maybe it will work better than the 0.5.3 version that's posted from April.

Still no good. Zygote crashes almost immediately with ramzswap.

Everything seems to be working great Cyanogen! Thank you!

Previously installed various ROM's and had HTC splash (htc_hero_1.0-signed)
DID everything suggested for sound, etc...THEN...what the heck...why not...
Re-format SD (1st partition fat32, 2nd Ext2 {500MB})
Wipe (ALT-W)
Reboot
HTC splash
Sign-in
Factory Data Reset (Menu/Settings/SD card & phone storage)
Install JFv1.51_CM3.2-ADP.zip (rename to update) Alt-S
Home+Back (reboot)
Now has Android splash
Hard reboot remove battery
start G1
Factory Data Reset (Menu/Settings/SD card & phone storage)
Home+Back (reboot)
Sign-in
Install update-cm-3.3.6-signed.zip (rename to update) Alt-S
Hard reboot remove battery
Install New Theme htc_hero_1.0-signed.zip (rename to update) Alt-S

Installed apps

Looking forward to your next 'surprise'

On Edge here, tried YouTube but the quality isn't HA, only over WiFi it displays HA or gives me the option.

I have it working for 3.3.7, which should be out later when I finish testing.

Couldn't agree more. At the same time, constructive feedback on the experimental builds shouldn't be held back simply because they're experimental. Nobody will even know what the problems are with a build if nobody talks about them for fear of being branded a "complainer." I work on other open source efforts and the key is to report problems, but be nice about it. And, if you can report a problem along with some ideas as to the solution (or at least a good description of how it happens) it is even better.

ol' i agree, i know there has to be feed back i'm talkin about the ones that are blaming Cyan for corrupting sd cards and what not .... Those knuckle heads !

Im having a problem istalling apps in my phone. It says theres not enough space. Does anyone here knows how to fix the problem???

yeah I've been trying out the swapper application where I have a 32m swapfile and swappiness set to 10.

Its no magic bullet as swapping apps between memory and swapfile causes a significant pause, but what it does solve is the browser reloading pages every time you move to another application and back again.

Obviously the best solution is more memory and hopefully when tmobile comes out with the magic in the states, it will have 288 megs of RAM instead of 192 megs that the vodaphone magic has.

I'm wondering does having the swapfile as its own partition improve performance?

IamLugo · Jun 5, 2009

Currently running v3.3.6 and all is good. Only a few things I wanted to mention tho. All day when on the phone people keep telling me they can't hear me right and they keep hearing echoes when I speak. Don't know if its specific to this build but I thought I would put it out there. Also I'm not to fond of the Meltus sound mod that's packaged with this build. Way to low. I prefer the v2 louder settings. No big deal tho I can push that through adb. Great work all overall cyanogen the Rom is great.

Also assuming everything looks good below, I was wondering what is in my /system/intmem directory? I'm running apps2sd with no prob got about 150 apps installed and through settings>storage I show about 1300M's. Just wondering whats in that directory. I'm assuming its cache from apps etc cuz I cleared the market cache and it went down about 3mbs but only a few mins later it went up about 5m. I'm sure I can move this over to the sd but not sure what methods would work that won't disturb the current set up. If not its cool tho. Just wondering
