Hi Guys,
I have a G1, got it from the States on eBay when they 1st come out. It was unlocked and had Cyan on it.
I have been doing updates all along and it just seems to be getting slower and slower and slower, kind of like a computer over time.
I neve installed Apps to SD or what ever it is called. I did install Taskiller but it always shows like 25 to 27 free ... so why is it so slow and what can I do to speed it up?
Thanks
Mike
Probably degrading.
Three things that should get you back to optimal speed:
1. Clear ALL caches. Do it manually through app manager in settings or get one of the apps that does it (I recommend CacheMate).
2. Clear your Dalvik Cache.
3. If those two don't help, it may be time to wipe fully and start with a fresh install of the ROM.
What is the Dalvik Cache?
just do a fresh wipe and re-install everything
Automatic task killer did it for me, and getting rid of all but one widget on my homescreen. Also I flashed from cyan to super D. It's great!
Hi Guys ...
1) How do I do a wipe?
2) Is there faster roms then Cyan?
3) Can I get just a stock 1.6 Rom?
Thanks

Just about any. Cyan is a PIG -- throws in every kind of weird experimental performance degrading thing he can come up with.
3) Can I get just a stock 1.6 Rom?

Yes, I suggest the one at developer.htc.com/adp.html
Note: There is no apps2sd on stock, nor is there tethering.
Thanks Buddy ...
Done and Done ...

I respect the amount of work he puts into trying new things.. but that doesn't mean I'd actually want to use his releases on my phone. No need to insult the man, either way.
P.S you should have really done more research on rooted devices before buying a rooted device, because when you want to flash a new rom you'll have a lot of reading to do...
Thanks for all of the help guys ...
As for the last post ... I got the phone becuase I liked it, not becuase I wanted a rooted device. I wanted a G1 that worked in Canada as we did not have them at the time. What came from eBay was what it was and I have made it work, it has just got slower in the 2 years I had it.
I have installed the stock ROM from HTC and everything is back to they way it was, nice and quick! ... Thanks to the members who helped.

I'm not sure how fair of a statement about Cyan you made. My wife is running a Cyan ROM and it's very fast. I'm running OpenEclair 1.2.2 and while I love it, it's not nearly as fast has her Cyan ROM. Also my stock G1 1.6 was getting terribly slow even after rebooting it.

Yours is wasting TONS of CPU and RAM doing GL in SOFTWARE.
Just wait for OE1.3, then you'll see the difference.

He doesn't need a source, it's fact that we don't (quite) have GL drivers running for Eclair yet, so it's wasting a bucketload of CPU power drawing everything in software. I'm not quite so sure how much RAM it wastes and how much is overheads from the rest of the Eclair system though.. I'm reserving judgement until I see hardware GL running. I understand OE 1.3 has the hardware drivers and is in testing now, so we'll know soon enough.

I already knew that, excep the part about OpenEclair including hardware drivers. Again, what is the source of OpenEclair 1.3 fixing these issues?
I don't know the full details but compatible drivers have been released for the hero or one of those similar phones and are in the hands of the relevant people.. OE devs have stated that 1.3 will include the drivers. I can't be bothered to find the post where it was said but it's here somewhere.

But I like DamageControl personally. I just have a nand of my gutted MNS rom for a quick switch.
I was using DamageControl for awhile but I have to go with DarchLegend because the webkit works properly with apps that use webview.

I just boot to recovery and recover that image I have of another rom with MNS.. takes like 5 miuntes all together. The image I have is unlinked to any google account and is stripped of a lot, just meant for MNS and wireless tether.
i never knew how to get the latest version for the stock of android hehe
I'm running (and loving) DamageControl but I think I'd like to see Darch's Legend version. The only thing is, I'm really not crazy about the idea of wiping all my settings again.

If you are using apps2sd then you might be able to do a quick switch. Make a nandroid backup and that will let you go back if you don't like the new ROM. The apps2sd will mean all your apps are still there.
However, sometimes you even have to wipe the apps off depending witch ROMs you are switching. If you get an app called Titanium Backup then you backup your apps and data. However, the free version makes re-installing a little bit of a longer process but it isn't bad.

Yes, that is a big selling point for me too. It seems Damage hasn't been active for several days. I'm sure he has a life and hopefully the ROM is still alive! I switched to DarchLegend for the webkit apps working right, Friendstream is cool too.

and also it saves your settings going from 2.1-2.1 so all your settings should be how you set them before <3 hooray for convenience!
and from my exp. (ive used both) i would say damage is a bit faster, but im going with darch because you will love the way it looks, has the glossy blackish look rather than just straight up stock. but althought i am experiencing a bit of lag, it will only be a matter of time before darch comes out with a fast enough rom and i can live with the tiny bit of lag that it does have, and i absolutely hate lag. but overall i chose darch, but i do appreciate the work of all you amazing dev's <3
so Darch vs flipz 2.02b?
we should make a new thread and have a poll with these main 2.1 builds....
Chad
I'm back on Damage, DarchLegend went a little insane for me, four times over, no idea what went wrong, when I finally got it up and running once I got my first phonecall the ROM basically fell apart, force closes, couldnt answer calls, everything lagged. Luckily Damage was backed up so I just went back and re situated.

The rom is still alive! I just proposed and am on vacation. I will have a rom out soon with a fixed webkit!
Neither....
It depends on you. Darch rom is based off the HTC Legend rom. which gives you some new features that roms based off of the Eris or just 2.1 its self dont have.
I use darch rom for a daily use.. Looks like v4.1 fixes all my problems not as much lag as before..
DamageControl
I think DamageControl is pretty fast. Im yet to test DarchLegend.
ive decided to take pancake 1.5c...the fastest rom there is IMO and customize it and tweak whatever i can.
i know most are going to the 2.1 roms but with the some bugs that plague them i wondered if anybody would have any interest in this before i start working on it?
fastest says who ?
and what bugs some minor quirks here and there but nothing major nothing with going back to 1.5 imho
It's only 1 vote, but I would be. I keep upgrading to various 2.1 ROMs only to find myself going back to 1.5-based ROMs.
My programming skills are non-existent, so I couldn't help any of the development, but I would be happy to test anything you might create.

says me...1.5c based off of gumbo is about the fastest rom there is, or at least that i have tried and ive tried them all and done benchmarks.
1.5c is Gumbo. I'm not sure the what version number Papapancake was.
I don't know if my opinion count, but I did like Pancake when it was out. However, after I fresh 2.0 leak, I doubt I will every go back to 1.5 imho. Maybe other might like if 2.0 is not perfect until final release. You might want a poll here.

Yeah I wouldnt mind hearing from someone that came from say CM5 to the latest stock Froyo. Is it better? Is it worth flashing now seeing as how CM6 is about a week or so away?
I would try it now myself, but I can't give up the dumb little things. (such as trackball wake)
I've used every CM version and every leaked version of Froyo. I was surprised that the final Froyo release seemed faster and smoother than FRF83. The browser seems really fast now and app switching is great thanks to JIT. I like my FRF85B Froyo final setup right now more than I did CM5.0.8. I can't wait for CM6 though.
Super. Wonderful. Amazing. Thank you Google and anyone else on the OHA that contributed to this.
It's great. I love it. I love it even more when someone hands me a HTC Touch Pro2 with Windows Mobile on it... Microsoft shouldn't even be in the mobile business. They should leave it to the experts. It was sad.
If you ever get a chance to put your hands on Windows Mobile... do it. It will make you appreciate your Android phone more than when you bought it.

I don't think the JIT would have much impact on app switching. The highmem kernel OTOH makes a huge difference. My launcher was always relaunching when switching from big apps such as the browser or navigation. Since upgrading to froyo I haven't seen the launcher restart once.

Yeah you are probably right. I just thought I read somewhere that JIT had benefits for loading apps, it might have just been for 3rd party apps because JIT converts to native code before processing (something like that).

The JIT actually wouldn't have any impact on loading times. The standard interpreted code is always run initially. It's only once the app starts running that the JIT is able to locate frequently accessed blocks of code that would benefit from compiling to native code.

I too have used CyanogenMod since I had my G1. I DID play with, and greatly enjoy the Froyo ROM when it was released by PaulObrien.
But I did miss some of Cyanogens special additions, so I went back to it a few weeks ago.
Now with the latest Froyo out, I may change over - AGAIN!

hahaha, funny you mentioned that.
A co-worker of mine approached me, and said he bought this Android™ phone from a friend. He heard that I know about Android, rooting, apps, etc. so he had some questions for me. He hands me the phone, and I was thrilled to hold this LARGE HTC DEVICE in my hand. I haven't held an EVO, yet, so imagine my joy!!! My first time ya know so I was honored.
It was branded T-MOBILE though ... hhmm, this can't be right!!! It should say Sprint!!!
After seeing the homescreen and tapping/flicking/swiping for all of 1.0 seconds, I handed it back to him and told him he has a Windows Mobile device - NOT ANDROID, and boy oh boy, was he pissed!!!! LMAO
Poor guy!
"If you ever get a chance to put your hands on Windows Mobile... do it. It will make you appreciate your Android phone more than when you bought it."
I let him play with my Nexus for a few minutes. He offered to buy it from me for $450 .... nuh uh homeboy! This is my baby!
I'm tired of my phone being too slow, responding too slow to touch, lagging..
I have the android 2.1 OS on my HTC Hero CDMA and I was wondering if there were any general recommendations to speed up my phone.
I would be willing to put on a hacked OS, root it, or do whatever it takes as long as the phone is still fully functional. I'm pretty new with this stuff so bear with me.
Thanks,

I rooted, installed CM6, my phone was totally transformed.
Cm 6 - rc1 is a good start simply amazing going from stock. I get 0 lag. I must warn you always do a nandroid back up before changing ROMs. Its basically a clone of your phone's software and settings allowing you to recover from a bad issue.

+1 to all previous posts.
The Hero running out of the box stock with Sense is really pretty slow. I liked Sense, but I like a faster device better.
Follow the well documented instructions found on this site for rooting the Hero and then play around with different ROMs until you find one that fits you.
Personally I've been running Darchdroid and don't plan on ever switching again.
I don't even know what lag is any more.
Thank you for your responses.

The problem with installing something like CM is that those ROMs are missing a lot of the stuff that you are used to using. And you might spend a long time downloading, and looking for the apps you need. I found CM to be not much faster and a pain in the ass in some ways (the dialer is weak, same with the keyboard, etc.)
I know people are going to start pointing to all the apps you can download to replace what is there, but it's a pain, and time consuming.
If anything I would try one of Fresh's ROMs, which have Sense and most of the HTC apps. And his Toast versions allow for overclocking as well.
On another note, your Hero should not be slow. Have you tried a factory reset?? I have used slow Heros before, but when they are working properly there should be almost no lag with the stock 2.1 OS.
The kernel is under the thread cdma android development and as far as cm6 u can overclock as well with a different kernel and as for aosp vs sense its just user preference tryem both c which one u like best and stick with what works for u that's what there here for both are outstanding

That's the beautiful thing about CM6 though is the customization. I know its personal choice, but I actually love the CM6 Phone Dialer (one of the guys over on the theme board customized the background for in call to be a nice cyan color other than green) and like the AOSP keyboard moreso than the Sense Keyboard. You can however, install a variety of HTC_IME keyboards and get that same Sense functionality on CM6.
I only do a new nightly every few days and it might take me... 10 minutes or so to get my phone setup. That includes a Full Wipe, ROM Flash, Kernel Flash, Circle Battery Flash and now a Phone Dialer Flash. I connect to my wifi and the Market downloads all of my apps for me and I restore my settings with ADW Backups. Logging into an app every now and then doesn't bother me after I've flashed a new ROM.
This is an "to each his own" situation and I did use FreshROM for quite some time before making the switch. To me, I don't plan on looking back. I may be switching to the T-Mobile G2 when it's released and as soon as CM is made available for it I'll be rooted and running it in no time.

How do you get the market to automatically download your apps? Is it another app or backup? It won't even save all of the apps I had downloaded last time. It only seems to save around 8.
So the guy who's dumping the AOSP from the Nexus S said "There is no AOSP support any longer for ADP1 ("dream") and ADP2 ("sapphire")."

yes, CM itself can be set up right for once, then are the OTA roms who are with less things...so they run quite good and ofc the AOSP froyo roms.
What setup is needed for CM to be fast? I don't need any features, just speed. If there's a better FroYo ROM for that I'm open to switching.
Gingerbread on the Dream will happen...I have no doubt about that. The question is how well it'll run. If only the Dream had a little more RAM...
Come on man when have we "never" been able to get an update? Im gonna take a wild stab in the dark and say we will still be getting roms for at least another 2 years!

I don't know about that, because I'm pretty sure Honeycomb or whatever they decide to call Android 3.0 has a minimum requirement for 1GHz processor so the Hero, Sapphire and Dream might be out of luck, especially the Hero because they're still stuck with the 2.6.29 kernel. 3.0 might be possible but I doubt 2 yrs of new Android ROMs is plausible.
AOSP gingerbread running on my Dream..
So seems mostly a go.. will require some poking for a true release but not that bad.
If it's not officially supported in AOSP, does that mean we'll be without camera drivers?

check out the 2708 radio+kernels. By switching to the new radios released for the mytouch + kernel with support, you gain back an extra chunk of ram for os use. Definitely helps out froyo builds

If it's not officially supported in AOSP, does that mean we'll be without camera drivers?

camera (with the minimal poking to get it to compile) is working
No release because many bits of this are easy to fix
> wifi works
> camera works
> hw3d I think is working .. but lanuncher/3d gallery/keyboard are running a bit slow .. and we know the port to 2.2 of launcher/keyboard run fine
> bluetooth no-go but that is just because I'm using a sapphire firmware (easy to swap)
> gsensor no go.. I think this will be a relatively easy thing to correct. API change confused it.
Taking a break from testing while I make a repo to work from

I don't know about that, because I'm pretty sure Honeycomb or whatever they decide to call Android 3.0 has a minimum requirement for 1GHz processor so the Hero, Sapphire and Dream might be out of luck, especially the Hero because they're still stuck with the 2.6.29 kernel. 3.0 might be possible but I doubt 2 yrs of new Android ROMs is plausible.

Honeycomb (Android 3.0 or 2.4....who knows) will not require a 1Ghz CPU.
Still don't understand why you people want gingerbread so much. The time it takes to get something that was never intended to even be ran on the G1 was at least a year or so and that was only with eclair and froyo. We can't run a lot of things because of the lack of ram like jit. Everything lacks now, even the gpu.
Please stop with all this silly nonsense about Gingerbread threads and just be patient. I have little faith in the project, as most original devs have completely moved onto different devices which are easier. Not saying the new devs are bad, I'm just saying we lost a lot of veteran support on the G1.
Why not just use something fast on your G1 that won't fry it's sockets after 5 hours of use?

People just want to have the newest, and humans like pushing limits (in this case of the G1).

Not only that, look at ezterry's mt3g port of froyo. 2708 radio/kernel + mt3g = hot fastness. Loaded it on two G1s, the gf loves how much faster it is than the other froyo roms we've tried. Probably has to do with the fact ezterry's port is nearly completely stock (it is without the parts update).

(keep hitting thnks buttn by mistake on every post xD)
Anyway I think 2.3 will be too much for the G1/MT3G to handle, it already struggles with 2.2 so 2.3 is over doing it. Battery will not be very good, as most phones with 2.2 now have 512+ ram as the standard. To get the best experience you'll need faster hw to support the effects,apps,etc...2.1 is the furthest i would go w/ a g1, but 1.6 is where the best perf is. I would go with a new phone if you wanna enjoy 2.3.
p.s. not trying to discourage anyone, just stating facts
