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.
Hi, All
Don't you think it would be sweet, if there was Radio released like the HD2 Update that unlocked 64MB Extra memory for the Nexus One.
The comparison with the Desire would be finished.

It would be nice, but it's already so fast I don't think it would make a difference for the majority of Nexus One users.

Dont understand why you need it. Just looked at my phone with 19 processes running and 200 Mb avail. At any given time I never have less than 100Mb free mem. Does the Sense UI use more memory? Is that why you think we need more?

I find it funny this is coming from someone running the stock rom which means he's not getting all the ram there regardless...but hey, that's just me

Sense UI doesn't use much more I usually have 100MB to 200MB free with Sense UI. Also my phone feels much smoother with Sense UI rather than stock. On top of all that, we don't even have all our 512MB unlocked. I think its like 395MB.

Posted a few minutes ago.....
Some of you may remember from when the GN1 was launched, during the press conference, there was indication that google would be implementing this at some point.
It has now been confirmed within their issue tracker.
And with the pending release of Android 2.2... and the upcoming conference... this may be only a few *days* off.
I thought nexus one didn't need apps2sd?
512mb internal storage? Why would you need apps2sd with that much?

Some people *cough*non-android users*cough* seem to think that Android apps are all 100mb each and you can only install a few. This will finally calm those masses, and help the odd person that installs 600 apps.

This has NOTHING to do with GN1.
It is for ANDROID, which is NOT limited to a single device.
It should be in the next available release after 2.2

That isn't all for apps. Only 190mb can be used for apps. I ran out after about 100-125 apps were installed.

it might as well be seeing as they usually only support certain versions of android and those version are only available on certain devices.

I know this, I was using Nexus as an example. After Sapphire, it seems like apps2sd isn't really needed. However, I never knew it was limited to so little room of that for apps. With my Sapphire I have about 100 apps (more than I really ever use) and still have 170mb internal memory. Thats why I was like, wtf, why now? Not sure how much is limited to apps on Sapphire, though.

Google supports ANDROID, you want to speak with the manufacturers and carriers who are the ones that manage what updates make it to which phones.
Google is releasing this for ANDROID, what phones it makes it to is not Google's decision.
It is needed for good game development
Do u think we well ever see a sense rom with gingerbread 2.3.4???

the answer is obviously yes. sense 3 with 2.3.4 is gonna be stock on the mt4gslide so once thats leaked you best believe we will have it. granted the mt4g slide has dual core processor and 200 more ram, so it can handle a bit more, you best believe our phones can still handle it, it wont take much more to run 2.3.4 than 2.3.3 which the mt4g already handles with great speeds. so just give it a month or so before an official build leaks and we will have it.
Almost the only difference between 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 is the Google Framework.
You can just flash the latest one (which is integrated into most ROMs by now, all those supporting Gtalk video have to do it), and you'll get whatever you really need 2.3.4 for.

No, the MT4G has 768MB. Check every online spec site. Heck even check the box the thing came in...
There's a command line you can enter in Terminal that says something about ~626, but that does not report total system RAM. I'm sure someone else can explain that better, but the MT4G does indeed have 768MB of total RAM.

He probably just didn't realize that the phone allocates a portion of the RAM out of default. I'm on CM7 and it shows 309 RAM used out of my 626 available. That's probably where he's getting that number from.

On all android phones you can't access all the ram, only some .
The is reserves some ram, like on windows where some ram used by system processes

How would I flash just the frame work...i mainly want to be able to use g talk and have the pvc show right not side ways...
You can't have it showing right - because currently the Gtalk app was only built and adjusted for Nexus S, and was hacked to work on other phones. As such, it's not adjusted properly to be running on all the phones with different camera libs, and that includes Sense camera libs. Sense ROMs with 2.3.4 will cure it, if they'll have Talk app - which they might not.

Even when I had the Nexus S if your phone wasn't on stock you still had to find a work around to getting video chat to work on g-talk, then there was the issue of having it work on 3G and not just wifi.

Hey you guys, it's nice to be able to post on here now that i have access to a mt4g. I currently own a g1 and ofc the mt4g and was wondering if the radios/spl have a similar hack found in the g1 that allows to free up more ram(not that it needs anymore lol) Also has anyone noticed any better performance in any of the different radios available?
not sure about the radios freeing up RAM, but the performance does differ from person to person...one radio could be good in one area but suck ass in another area, it just depends

Yes, the G1 was the only Android phone with so little internal memory, but he's actually talking about something different. In mid/late '10, a modded radio came out that somehow freed up the amount of RAM available to the OS slightly. I never tried it and don't remember much about it though.
