cant get cm recovery1.2.img to work

Hi,

I downloaded the recent v3.4 mod. Which I have now, but I can't get the recovery 1.2.img to work... when I try to flash in terminal, it says permission denied and I can't log into telnet either. And I also tried, with the img on the sdcard and using the home+end startup. When I type alt+l, on the top it says "android system recovery utility" and under it "E: can't open /cache/recovery/command" ... will fixing this also help with running apps from the sd card.

Thank you
[G1 Android Development] trevordbs:
Stop double posting. Apps2SD is DONE FOR YOU. read the entire first post.

Try doing a full wipe and then force the update.zip again.

execute "fix_permissions" from a terminal or the recovery console and reboot.
[G1 Android Development] joenilan:
probably have to reformat my card, bahhh was looking for something better.

oh well thanks though.
[G1 Android Development] teh_lorax:
How big does it "automatically" make the ext3 partition then, mr smarty pants? 500mb? 1GB?

edit: And fix_perms has nothing to do with the market not working.
[G1 Android Development] jimbo831:
A simple search would find that this question has been asked and answered so many times in this thread it's ridiculous.

This problem is caused if you installed the HTC_IME.apk like a regular app. Rather than doing this, you need to uninstall it, and manually push it using ADB or terminal emulator to /system/app

Here's a question I haven't seen an answer to yet. Ever since I updated (and I don't know if this is from cupcake or this build) my auto caps on the letter "I" aren't working. Before the update, when I typed an "i" it would auto convert to an "I" once I hit space. This no longer happens, but other auto corrections work, like "cant" to "can't", etc. I have ensured that my "Auto-replace", "Auto-cap", "Auto-punctuate" are all checked for the device keyboard. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] jimbo831:
This does not make the partition for you. If your card isn't already partitioned, your apps will go to the internal memory. What it can do for you is change an EXT2 to an EXT3 partition. If you have no partitions, use Ubuntu, paragon partition manager, some other partition software that supports EXT2/3, or the Apps2SD app which will make a partition.
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
Unfortunately unless you activate the "prediction" in the Touch Input, the device keyboard no longer auto corrects these things for you. I say unfortunately, because if you type a name or something that is not in the dictionary you have to pay attention and select that item otherwise it automatically replaces your word with the first match it comes up with. I have disabled the auto suggest in the Touch Input, and simply type things as I want them to be now (just like on a computer - so not a big learning curve). The other thing that the "prediction" seems to break is that the right alt key no longer functions as expected on the device keyboard when it is turned on.

There would seem to be some bugs related to using the HTC_IME keyboard, but I think it is worth it, just have to get used to typing normally...
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
LOL STUPIDEST QUESTION EVER!!!!!!!111!! You have to create an ext2 partition and you set the size, it just converts it still the same size :cool:

partition sdcard

Hey guys,

I have a 16gb class4 card for my phone and was wondering the if I could use app2sd2 to split my card into fat32 and ext2, if so, how much should I split into each. The cm-recovery-1.2.img flash didn't work when I copied to sd and tried to flash thru terminal. Said permission denied. Need help please
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
yes you can use Apps2Sd2 to get a ext2 partition. I would size the Ext2 partition to about 500-1000 mb.

To flash the recovery image, make sure you type in "su" without the quotes before you type "flash_image blah blah blah"
[G1 Android Development] stellarman:
A weird thing I noticed

Has anyone else noticed this? On boot-up, my phone connects to 3G, as I would expect it to, lags while it loads stuff (widgets, etc.?), then the wifi indicator comes on for maybe five seconds, turns off again, and the 3G symbol comes back. This behavior happens every time, and it has happened across a couple of ROMs (previously on Dude's, and now on CM).

I doesn't seem to cause any problem, but it is weird.

I suspect that it is some application that starts at boot time. But, I haven't identified which one. Anyone have any ideas for me?

Also, how long does it take most people's widgets and stuff to load? Seems like it routinely takes mine up to 15 - 30 seconds to show the right time, date, battery charge and weather. Those are the only four that I have, at the moment. I have tried removing some of the widgets, and it doesn't seem to make much difference.

Thanks in advance for any help or idea.
[G1 Android Development] Natty_lite:
I'm sure there is a fix to this, but can someone please explain to me how to fix the issue I'm havin with the accelerometer. The screen is not rotating at all, not even when I slide open the keyboard, it gets stuck in landscape, and I'm forced to disable orientation via the settings. I also wanna note that the Launcher.apk or whateva kept force closing when I got to the gmail sign in screen. Is that normal?

Also - Yes, I've searched the thread, and yes, other people has asked the question, but NO, I have yet to see anyone answer.

APPS2SD

cyanogen,

First I want to thank you for your hard work. Your rom and recovery are awesome.

I have a suggestion: I think that 50% of the questions related to how APPS2SD is done would have been prevented if you explained the process on the first post. Reading, your post, it is not clear whether your rom just supports APPS2D (like most previous roms) or actualy does the work for you). It took me more than 2 hours of reading to understand the following (and I still didn't see a direct answer on this, by the way):

1. If you don't have apps2sd, you can partition your sd card with an ext3 partition. when you install the rom it will automatically transfer your apps from the phone to the SD card. No need to do anything.If you don't partition your card, your apps remain on the phone and will not go to the sd card.

2. If you partition your card to ext2, there is a script in the recovery that will convert it to ext3.

Now I am still confused. And here is why:

In the FAQ:

"4. Can I use AUFS/UnionFS for Apps2SD?

It's enabled by default in 3.3. AUFS is the replacement for UnionFS. If you previously had /data/data on SD, it will get copied to internal memory. You can disable AUFS by running "touch /system/sd/.nounion" from a terminal. DONT USE ANY APPS2SD APPLICATIONS WITH THIS ROM! If you haven't actually moved your apps from internal memory to the sdcard, you can use Recovery 1.2 to do it.:

What does this mean: "If you haven't actually moved your apps from internal memory to the sdcard, you can use Recovery 1.2 to do it"? Does it do it auto or do you have to run a script in recovery?

Another example:

"7. How do I convert to Ext3?

Reboot into recovery (home + power), drop to a console (Alt+x), and enter: "upgrade_fs". Reboot and you will be at ext3. This requires my recovery image listed above."

This means that the rom will not convert your ext2 to ext3 auto, even though many impatient responders in this thread claim that it does.

I am not criticizing you or anyone. I enjoy you rom and the easy move to apps2ds, I just want to explain to the more experienced users who are using your roms from the start that there is a reason why a noob that install this for the first time will get confused, and answers like "read the first post, it does it for you" don't really provide a helpful answer.
[G1 Android Development] Natty_lite:
Not for nuffin, but I felt that part was pretty straight fwd. Maybe some people are overthinking? Now can someone please help me fix my accelerometer :(

Paragon Partition Manager 9.0 or sdsplit

For everyone who is having probs with trying to get apps2sd working, if you can I would try to download paragon partition manager 9 (30 day trial) and make your partition there. I know you can make an ext3 partition as well as ext2 through it. If you can't get that working though I would consider trying martin fick's sdsplit, which is in this forum. Hopefully that will work. I was having problems using cyanogen's recovery because of a bad partition until I tried paragon, which worked. As for moving the apps to your card use cyanogen's recovery, nothing else. No copying init.rc and some other file to your sdcard in order to get it to work (I know this is marcus's way to get his apps2sd working). Peace
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
It sounds like a wipe would fix your issues.
[G1 Android Development] Natty_lite:
Just what I thought, and also what I didn't wanna hear. Thanx for replying tho, if I saw another apps2sd post I woulda jumped out my window
[G1 Android Development] kyleds:
okay, did that... now started getting low on space icon in notification bar, even though it says i have over a 1000mb available on sd and internal memory. and when i went to home+end. cm recovery v1.2 i did the filesystem check and it said theres an error and to run e2fsck and now theres a emergency help menu. which one do i use and how do i run it?
[G1 Android Development] teh_lorax:
Yes genius. His post was about an error that it wasn't partitoned, your reply was "Stop double posting. Apps2SD is DONE FOR YOU. read the entire first post."

And you were clearly wrong on the fix_perms, so try being helpful - rather than elitist. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you. :D

EXACTLY my point. I bow to your intellect.

[Bug Report]

I didn't see anywhere else to report bugs, so here it is:

After upgrading to 3.4 (from 3.8) and flashing the Hero 1.2 theme, my phone has started to...well...die.

The screen will turn black to sleep, like it usually does, but it will not wake up from sleep. Nothing wakes it back up, not power, menu, call, volume, holding the power button; my only solution thus far has been to pull the battery out and then it will allow me to reboot.

This happens around 5 times in a day of normal use. I flashed back to 3.3.3 (just because I had it already on the card) and spent a day and a half using my phone with no problems. I searched the thread but couldn't find anyone else with this error.

EDIT: After using some different search terms, I found others with the exact same problem, glad to know it wasn't just my phone :]
[G1 Android Development] Shake911:
I flashed this rom earlier and i love it. Nice work !!!!
[G1 Android Development] here.david:
Yea, seems all the themes (tried most) have always caused some kind of issues without a full wipe and clean install THEN the theme added. I did a clean install (cm-3.4) after a wipe and then did the 1.2 theme and now everything works great...

I see that CM does not have any others themes added in his sig...<g>...:D

Absolutely.

No, Exchange won't be coming to this build unless we get a version in the future that runs on the unmodified Android core libraries.

You shouldn't need to do a wipe, just flash it.

There's no reference to Bluetooth in this thread so far, I am guessing no one else is experiencing this?

You probably need to wipe if you are coming from Haykuro's ROM.

I used martinficks sdsplit to partition my card.
[G1 Android Development] jsapp:
I had a similar issue after trying to install a theme. Seems something messed up the liks or something. When put into paragon, the entire card showed up as a ext partition, no fat. But I could still access the fat partition as normal. Paragon also would't reformat for me. I ended up reformatting the entire card ad setting up the partitions again, and everything has been working as it should since.

move a single app back to internal memory

i don't mean to add even more to this thread but i didn't want to start a new one since this is fairly cyanogenmod specific. is there a way to move a single app back to internal memory thru the command line. i thought i'd seen something on this before but i've looked everywhere and can't seem to find anything about it.

the reason i'm asking is because i'm trying to use the eye-fi server app and i can't get it to work no matter what i try. my only assumption is that its because of A2SD. anyone have any direction or know of any other reason why this app may not work with this build?
