Texas!
You have the right SPL required for this ROM, but would be better served using a newer radio/SPL and a 2708 enabled kernel. I'm still thinking you must have some bit of data mucked up somewhere. Perhaps flashing the new radio/spl will clear it out and get you back on the road. Instructions are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139. Read the instructions carefully and you should have no problems. Once you have that SPL, you'll need to flash a 2708 kernel before first boot with this ROM. (Froyo by Laszlo uses a 2708 kernel already.) Farmatito and Ezterry both have nice Froyo 2708 kernels that increase RAM and speed as well is improving battery life, even with Froyo by Laszlo

I'm afraid you've gone beyond by paygrade now. I'm out of ideas. I assume you are using Ezterry's 2708 kernel with CM 6.1 ROM. That was my last thought. Good luck!

lol, thanks.

To elaborate, I wasn't trying to be a ***, I promise. I rocked a 32b for almost a year and the reason I got into rooting originally was so I could overclock and try to run Navi and Pandora simultaneously. Never got it to run smoothly.

The closest I came was oem donut rom, new radio/spl for extra ram and ezterry's 614 kernel with settings 528 min/614 max.

That the was the fastest I ever saw that phone run and it still wasn't enough.

The 3d gallery is a memory hog and the sapphire just doesn't have the power to run it smoothly. That's why I upgraded to the glacier (mt4g) with 1ghz processor and 768mb ram. This *** can run anything, lol.

Yup. Closest I ever came on either my wife's G1 or my (retired) MT3G was CM4(.2.15.1) w/new radio+spl and EZTerry's kernel. Overclocked, too. And just like you, I never could get nav and, well, much of anything else of consequence running simultaneously smoothly. I think what really did it in was when my MT3G would reboot if I was using Nav, connected to a BT car speaker phone and a call would come through. Such an awesome time to have to pull the car over and wait to get Nav back and figure out who called while it rebooted :rolleyes:

Can't complain too much, though. CM breathed a lot longer life into our phones than they would have had. But, like you, I moved on to bigger and better hardware. I love my G2x and I'm glad CM's officially supporting it, too. I have a few friends with MT4G's and they love 'em like you, too.

My wife, however, still has a death grip on her G1 :D I've told her all about the upcoming MT4G Slide (she's a physical keyboard fiend), but she just hugs her G1 and says, "NO." Hey, I got Magpie CM6 running pretty well for her, so I'm fine with that. I kept my MT3G as a backup, too.

Haha, I've definitely been there. I think I remember talking with you about trying out cm4, because cm5.07 had just come out when I started rooting. Sometimes I wish I had it lying around so I could check it out.

This is sooo true. The mt3g would have been unliveable without root and overclock. I have a Vibrant as a spare phone but gps doesn't work properly yet unless you're running a touchwiz rom (yuck) and the g2x looks good except that I LOVE the trackball/trackpad of the glacier. Don't know if I could ever really do without that feature, not having it irritates me too much.

Haha, good thing my gf is all about shiny new things, otherwise I'd still be dicking around with that god-damned Captivate! Why on earth Samsung has to try to reinvent the wheel is beyond me. I got her an Inspire 4G and it's still all stock! Although she's starting to get the rom bug again, so heeeere we go....

You should just buy an mt3g slider on CL, put cm7 on it and leave it around for her to play with. Just leave it on the charger next to your bed and sooner or later she'll start using it. You don't even have to sell the G1, it's not worth much by now anyway. Let her keep it around for sentimental reasons. :)

I think CM4 is still available for download, since it's still considered a "stable" mod. If you can't find it, I know I've got it in a folder somewhere along with the gapps and system ADW.

Yeah, I'll admit, I'd rather it have a trackball/pad, but I've learned to live without it. It did take some time, though, for real.

Oh and TouchWiz...yeah, agreed. Ugh. Might as well just buy an iPhone.

Yeah, it just seems like every manufacturer is skinning up their phones or adding new "features." Even HTC is loading Sense on everything. Heck, although my G2x came "stock," it still had some tweaks to it that weren't stock. Although I removed the bloatware, my BIGGEST gripe is finding a nice little hidden app for remoting into MY phone. They claim it's for "tech support." Yeah, then why is it always enabled? Tore that little "gem" out of the system fast quick. Sneaky little jerks.

Ha ha ha. If I wouldn't have to sleep on the couch to do it, that'd probably work. She hates the 3G Slider, though. Doesn't like the keyboard. What I'll probably do is wait til the release of the 4G Slider and then go shopping with her. I can always manage to pull her into a tech store of any kind and get her to look at things. If I get her to play with it long enough, she might enjoy it.

Ahem...don't take that last statement the wrong way :D

Hey myformerself :)

I flashed her back to CM6. I decided to do a fresh install for the heck of it and chose EXT4 this time around. I've noticed a bit of a lag, too. That's why I asked. Good to know it wasn't just my perception.

Yeah, Ext4 isn't the best option for CM6.1 :)


my_former_self said:
Ah, gotcha. What made you jump the swap ship? :p Just curious. Are you rolling CC now? or just nothing in the way of those kinds of tweaks? As far as my experiences, swap at least helped my wife's G1 not take so long (if at all) to reload the home screens & using CC worked great at first, but always slowed to a crawl later on.
Click to expand...

I had various problems with the swap on my phone. I used the Swapper2 to enable the swap on phone.
My problem is when I get an update for any application, I get some lags and crashs on my phone.
I believe I get this problems because I had some concurrency on my sd card using the Swapper2.

With this problems in swap I believe the best option on my phone is get my swap disabled :)

About the tweaks I used all of your manual. Your manual is the best guide to config the CM6.1 .
All of my screens runs without lags ( except same programs like Twidroid and others ).

My personal Tweaks is the Shadow Script ( http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1562224/Android/Scripts/shadow.sh ) to put the priorize the Phone App.
At my experience this application has some lags when I receive any calls.

And, too, I put any of my ringtones on the Internal Memory. If I put the ringtones on the sd card, I had some lags on the phone application or on the ringtone :)

Thanks :)

Oh, man, I stopped using Swapper2 a LOOOONG time ago. Too many issues. I always went with Steve-O's swap script and a partition. Always enabled at boot with no problems where Swapper2 would sometimes not enable or konk out on me mid phone use.

But everyone's mileage varies with swap, I think. Just my $0.02 on what to do if you actually want swap (i.e. Steve-O's script).

I'll have to check out that script. I did notice phone lag, especially on my wife's G1. And I did just what you did, too, with the ringtones. Great minds think alike!

Hello. Glad to see some familiar faces. Still using the MT3G. Still works great running CM4.

Looking forward to the SGS2 coming to the states and CM7.

How is this ROM runnin on your phones? In mine it was very sloooow, I had Cyanogen4 (android 1.6) installed until last week and it was very fast (I had this phone as a backup) and tried to upgrade to Cyanogen6.1 because some apps do not exist for 1.6, I had many problems to find the proper files (spl, the rom, the google apps) no mirrors working. After all the struggle to find them, I installed and it was working fine but terribly slow even after full wipe and no apps installed and no widgets around.

I decided to downgrade to Cyano 5.0.8 and I have to say that I am much more happier (no mirror problems here btw), it is still an android (2.x) and it is working 3 (or even more) times faster, no longer I have to wait 5 seconds for the awk to load, or 10 seconds to swap between apps...

None else is experiencing this?

You could have got all the files you needed in one zip file from my sig. If CM6.1 is too slow for you, there's also a tweak guide in my sig, as well.

Thank you my_former_self, I will keep in mind as soon as I get bored of the 5.x.

I installed everything trying to follow the cyanogen wiki, I guess that if I would have read this thread first, I would have saved a lot of time :-/

Lense style lockscreen

Greetings fellow CyanogenModders! Ok quick noob question... I've been searching but to no avail. I would like to have the lense style lockscreen (like/similar to the one found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133572) on the V6.1.0 port 27.08 update rom. Is it possible, if so could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance. *** Frigging loving the rom! Just came from Ginger yoshi, despite removal in integrated features in this rom, I can live without. In one word thus far... quintessential. ***

My touch 3g 32b; Hboot ...013d / Spl ...27.08

    CyanogenMod is a free, community built distribution of Android 2.2 (Froyo) which greatly extends the capabilities of your phone.

    This version is for the old radio on both Dream and Magic. I plan to support the new radio soon.

    Code: 
    #include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
 * Your warranty is now void.
 *
 * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
 */

    This is an AOSP-based build with extra contributions from many people which you can use without any type of Google applications. I found a link from some other project that can be used to restore the Google parts, which can be found below or elsewhere in the thread. I've still included the various hardware-specific code, which seems to be slowly being open-sourced anyway.

    Visit the CHANGELOG for a full list of changes and features!

    If you'd like to to contribute to CyanogenMod, checkout our Gerrit instance.

    It's important to know that the "DangerSPL" (or DeathSPL or Haykuro's SPL or whatever you prefer) is a prerequisite for Dream/G1 users. Magic (MT3G etc) users do *not* need to do this. Ciwrl has written a guide to installing this bootloader. Flashing this bootloader under the wrong conditions can actually brick your device, so pay attention to the guide. CM releases have always avoided this requirement, but the new bootloader frees up enough space so that no crazy hacks are required for a fully functional system, and it's easier to keep in sync with the N1/Droid releases.


    INSTRUCTIONS:
    - First time flashing CM 6 to your Dream/Sapphire (or coming from another ROM)?
    1. Unlock/root your device and install Clockwork Recovery via ROM Manager or Amon_RA's recovery image
    2. Do a Nandroid backup!
    3. Update your radio if necessary
    4. WIPE
    5. Install the ROM
    5. Optionally install the Google Addon

    - Upgrading from earlier CM6?
    1. Do a Nandroid Backup!
    2. Install the ROM (your Google apps will be backed up automatically)

    HOW TO REPORT BUGS OR PROBLEMS?
    - Was it a hard reboot? Get me the file "/proc/last_kmsg".
    - Was it a soft reboot or a "boot loop"? Run "adb logcat" and get me the full output.
    - Pastebin links preferred
    - Please use the issue tracker whenever possible!

    Please visit the CyanogenMod Wiki for step-by-step installation walkthroughs and tons of other useful information.

    The preferred method of installation is via ROM Manager, or you can head over to the CM Forums for manual downloads.

    Thank you to EVERYONE involved in helping with testing, coding, debugging and documenting! Enjoy!

    Not to piss off anyone, but I'd like to point out that I haven't heard any echo of logic here, from both parties.
    I have heard the ungrateful rant of a very poor (as in spirit, not money) person, and the fallacy of "I-am-oh-so-logic" of unknowingly-consumistic-driven people.

    I am very grateful to Cyanogen & Team for all the work they've done, I would never, ever, complain to them if they dropped support for my G1 -which they did due to reasonable, understandable lack of interest- and moved on with more pleasant stuff.

    I don't think, however, that two years is a reasonable age for a phone to die. My previous mobiles lasted way longer, and died of... "key broke", "battery worn out" and not "you should feel obsolete, and guilty, so buy a new phone from us". I have had a Pentium 200 MMX serve as my home server up to last year (1995-2010), when I replaced it because of.... it was noisy and my brother-in-law was tossing away a new (silent) computer.

    I do not want to tell you you're wrong in following consumism but... what does it have to do with the BBQ of CyanogenMod-6.1 "they said it couldn't be done"? I don't want to hear it as much I don't want to hear ungrateful and silly comments about how Cyanogen & Team should spend their time. Can we drop both, please?

    Ezterry has started something great on xda

    a source repo for gingerbread dream/sapphire

    its very much a 'support yourself' affair
    but if you are smart and post logcats, then some attention may be paid to it

    within that thread are my Magpie builds, basically they are Ezterry's builds with CM5 like a2sdext ( Magpie ) added in.

    some very kewl features with these builds
    Ezterry has recently added AutoKernel to the build system ( far superior to the script based AutoKernel I cobbled together )
    this means that one zip supports three different kernel types
    • ebi0 ( standard 32b )
    • ebi1 ( 32a and Rogers )
    • 2708 ( 32b with the extra 15mb ram )
    the correct kernel is installed automatically

    • GPS is working
    • gapps and su working ( see bypass's posts in the thread )
    • internet calling ( see call settings in settings )
    • gmail has a bug, where you can't read 'long' emails , but the basic email app works fine
    • other stuff I can't remember

    in general the ROM works very well,
    it doesn't have all the extra features people have come to expect from a CM, the main reason ( and I have to agree here ) is that ezterry wants a clean base, and some of the extras impinge on performance without any real gain.

    if you look at ezterry's issues list on github you will see that he has indicated that he wants to shift the current build system towards one more akin to CM's , so that it can at some point be integrated with CM7


    Find
    ezterry's builds in post 2
    http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882356

    The current Magpie can be found here
    http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10678784#post10678784
    it is based on Ezterry's 2011-01-17 code

    Magpie zips can be found here
    http://www.mediafire.com/?0uefg5g8kyeja

    regards gapps, look in that thread
    I'll look at putting up some gapps zips
    personally I like the minimum on system, getting most from Market

    so I'll do SuperTiny, Tiny and Full Fat ( might skip the full fat , and just package extra bloat to flash over a SuperTiny )

    some of the gapps that are being linked in that thread are not great, they include hdmi which is just a waste of space for us



    so what are you waiting for?
    nand backup and get flashing

    and if you have 15-20 gb free on a Linux box, repo sync , and push some kewl changes to github ;)

    Tutorial Update!

    To everyone who used it or linked to it, my old tutorial has been updated for CM6.1.0. I also replaced the post with a link to a PDF of instructions. The PDF also contains a clickable link to download an archive of all the files needed for my setup. It's easier for me to update and also prevents my original tutorial post from ever disappearing, for whatever reason. REALLY wouldn't want to have to write that over again :D

    Anyways, the link to the PDF guide is now in my sig, too. The link to the archived files is on the first page of the PDF. And If I ever have to update it, I'll make a post that there's an update. Hope it helps as much as it has in the past!

    Updated the guide. Mostly just a few minor revisions to SetCPU settings, a comment on how to easily enable swap (if you want to) and the inclusion of the swap script in the package (which the guide links to).

    Unfortunately, MediaFire's free account only allows so many updates of links (to maintain the same link). So, irritably, the link to my guide has changed. You can find the updated link in my signature. Sorry to everyone who links to it in there's; you'll have to change it until I find a different hosting provider (or I just create a new user account on MediaFire...heh heh).
