[G1 Android Development] evildeliverance:
I've been working on upgrading my girlfriend's G1 from the JF1.42RC33 build I installed months ago to any of the new builds here at xda. After trying several of them with constant issues I stumbled to this one which has worked better and faster than any of the others. We did have one problem where the phone stopped booting as long as the SD card was inserted the first day but assumed it was a broken app, re-wiped/installed and things have been fine since.

Everything was fine until she paired with her bluetooth headset today. Upon calling someone we discovered she couldn't hear the other person nor could they hear her. After rebooting, the phone stuck at the bootloader screen and won't pass it unless the sd card is removed. I've already tried running the new options in the 1.1 recovery image to check the sdcard filesystem and rewiped/installed 3.4 to no avail. After a reinstall, the first boot gets to the blue shimmery 'android' loading screen but locks up. Successive boots show only the initial screen that appears when the phone is first turned on. Removing the sdcard allows the phone to boot successfully.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. I'm at my wits end here.

Edit: I did read a few pages ago about someone needing to reformat the sd card each reinstall. An alternative solution is greatly desired as I had to go to an acquaintance's house to format it in the first place since the card reader in our toshiba laptop has issues with formating sd cards (spent several hours with gparted in ubuntu, several other linux format utilities, and paragon partition manager all with limited or no success). Sdsplit doesn't seem to do the trick either.
[G1 Android Development] Curunir:
Hey this is pretty great. It actually seems snappier than the last version, and it fixed my 'phone won't shutdown' issue too. And all without a wipe.

Thanks a bunch cy!
[G1 Android Development] matt_stang:
Here's my issue: I was using hero 1.4 with apps2sd and then fastbooted back to ion r2. I'm trying to do a no-wipe flash to 3.4 from ion r2 but when I flash 3.4 and reboot, I just get stuck at the G1 screen forever. It doesn't even go to the android boot screen at all. After I got this I did a wipe and same thing. Before I try to reboot, I can run ls /data in the console and it shows all everything (app, app-private, data, dalvik-cache, etc.) but after i try to boot it up and then reboot in recovery (after being stuck at the g1 screen) when I run ls /data it shows nothing. And when I run ls /system/sd it says "placeholder." Also, when I run ls /sdcard it shows nothing. Yet if I plug my sdcard into my computer I have several things on it. I tried fix_permissions, and I got chown: *app* Input/output error and chown: *app* Read-only filesystem for every single app. I've tried almost everything and I don't know what else to try. I can't even get it to work from a wipe. Anyone have any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] mrcrs:
your problem is you are not wiping.

you need to wipe especially if you are coming from a different rom.
[G1 Android Development] jimbo831:
I don't know why, but Phone Fusion VM seems to hate this thing. I've updated all the versions since 3.3.5 and with each update, I have got force closes on only Phone Fusion VM. Uninstalling and reinstalling always works fine, but I can't figure out why this program is the only one that keeps doing it.
[G1 Android Development] mrcrs:
as per the FAQ on page 1 of this thread:

15. I have problems with force closes and have to reinstall my apps after a no-wipe upgrade!

Run the "permission fixer" script linked above in a terminal (as root), and reboot. Just push it to your SD card and run "sh /sdcard/fix_permissions.sh".

search.
[G1 Android Development] matt_stang:
I tried wiping. I still get stuck at the G1 screen.
[G1 Android Development] mrcrs:
do you have the newest radio installed and spl?
[G1 Android Development] jimbo831:
This isn't even just from Cyanogen's build. I have the same problem with 3.3.5 up to 3.4, but it also happens on my friend's G1 since he got Cupcake OTA from T-Mobile. It seems like HTC/Google changed something in how the battery charges such that it takes a lot longer. I don't like that though. It's bad enough that the battery lasts so little, but at least I used to be able to get a full charge in like an hour. Oh well, either way, it's not unique to Cyanogen's build.

PS I am loving 3.4 stable version, and hopefully I can stop flashing my phone for a couple weeks. This is so much quicker and better than anything out there.
[G1 Android Development] stellarman:
I flashed Hero theme with 3.4 this morning. No big problems. Ended up needing to run the 'fix_permissions.sh' script due to some force closes. But everything is pretty smooth now.
[G1 Android Development] Denkai:
Wipe then flash 3.4, and reboot. it will hang at the G1 screen for several minutes while it rebuilds your file system, this is normal. just let it do it's thing.

I also suggest wiping your ext2/ext3 file system so it doesn't clutter the new ROM

I use PF VM myself and I have had zero problems with it. run apps2sd and see where the app is stored. push it and the dalvik to the same location, I suggest sd card if you have a class 6.
[G1 Android Development] stellarman:
It is working for me on 3.4, using "Useful Switches" program. It tried a couple of times before connecting successfully. But it did work.
[G1 Android Development] matt_stang:
Yes. And yes.

Alright I'm doing that now.
[G1 Android Development] matt_stang:
I flashed, wiped, flashed again. And it's been sitting at the G1 screen for a good 5 minutes now.
[G1 Android Development] stellarman:
Not to contradict you, but I came over from Dude's today and had very little problem. I HAD to flash the Hero theme because I was coming from 5 home screens. And, it was a little unstable until I ran the fix_permissions script. But it is all good now.
[G1 Android Development] short/y:
Never mind.
[G1 Android Development] matt_stang:
Been sitting at G1 screen for 15 minutes. My other computer isn't working so no way for fastboot for at least another 30 minutes. Any way to get it working at all? Besides fastboot? I feel like I've tried everything
[G1 Android Development] mrcrs:
is your phone plugged in while this is happening?
[G1 Android Development] mrnote8:
I know people were having more serious probs, but nobody responded when I asked.. is everyone's YouTube HQ on v3.4?
[G1 Android Development] matt_stang:
No, it's not.
[G1 Android Development] Argusi:
Anyone experiencing laggy response that is sometimes severe? I've reflashed a dozen times trying to isolate the little bugger and I think its dxtop. It will happen on a flash with only dxtop and the theme installed. It seems to get worse the more apps are installed. It seems to get worse if I apply my theme, in my case, GlossSuite. It doesn't always happen immediately. Sometimes it takes a while. It also acts like a caching issue to me. The icons draw really slowly...

Anyone else experience this? If we can find a common cause, maybe the dev guys can look into it and help us out.
[G1 Android Development] Rickster08:
when I did alt x to gain ext3 acces and did commands...it saids file exist...so i have ext 3 already?
[G1 Android Development] stellarman:
I would try running the fix_permissions script from the terminal in the recovery mode. Try this:

Download the fix_permissions.sh script and put it in the root of your sdcard

From the recovery screen, Flash 3.4

Get to the terminal (alt-x and return)

# mount /sdcard

# sh /sdcard/fix_permissions.sh

# reboot

(this is from memory, so someone might correct my instructions).

See if that help. It can't make things any worse than they are. And it might fix your problem. Maybe you have something weird going on with your app permissions.

By the way, you are coming from a build that has 5 home screens, are you?
[G1 Android Development] pitecus:
dalvik-cache might be the issue

After I move dalvik-cache from sd card to internal memory, those delay was a lot reduced. According to my previous project experience, Class 6 SD card might be faster than internal memory, but multiple read or write at the same time make it slower caused by not enough I/O channel of the device.

I recommend you to move dalvik-cache direct to internal memory, if you don't have fast enough sd memory card.
[G1 Android Development] matt_stang:
No I'm coming from Haykuro's Google Ion r2. I was running hero and then fastbooted back to Ion.
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
Disappearing applications.

My situation:

This has happened twice on the 3.4 build. Went from 3.3.8, did a wipe, reformatted my sdcard to ext3 and fat32, then updated to 3.4.

I adb installed half of my apps, while installing the other half from the marketplace. The apps will successfully install, however, after a reboot the applications will disappear from the app drawer. I was also getting low memory errors (I even saw my available space decreasing in Settings > SD card & phone storage)

running the command:

aufs and /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 are present.

Also, looking inside /system/sd/app, all my apps are present, but for some reason are not showing up inside the app drawer.

anyone else having this problem, or know how to fix the situation?
[G1 Android Development] matt_stang:
Wow... I took out my sdcard and it booted up right away.
[G1 Android Development] scrubsja:
thanks Cyanogen for such a great build but for the life of me I cant figure out why there is no sound in my bluetooth headset. I am now using v3.4 and I have tried all the volume profiles and pushed the services.jar file from your previous stable builds. The headset connects and sound comes from the handset instead. The bluetooth volume also responds but I just cant hear any sound. Please help!!! Thanks:confused:
[G1 Android Development] xidominicanoix:
i tried YouTube while on WiFi and I had the HQ option

Menu > More > Watch in high quality
[G1 Android Development] mrnote8:
Thanks.. I was just getting back on to mention that I found that. I wonder if there is a way to script something to enable this in all the time.. instead of having to change manually every video. I thought that v3.3.2 (the last stable version) had this. idk ¿ lol. thanks again
[G1 Android Development] Mikey:
Is anyone getting "Force close" for the market.

Everything else (50+) apps are all good.

Excpet the market.

Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] mrnote8:
I was.. rebooted and it hasn't happened since.
[G1 Android Development] Mikey:
I've rebooted 3 times lol
[G1 Android Development] tee aiy emm:
I had that problem. Just flash it again.

If that doesn't work, well then you'll have to wipe and then flash it.
[G1 Android Development] scrubsja:
Can someone please help me to solve my bluetooth headset dilemna? Is there anyone else who had this problem and resolved it?
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
My issue is the other way around. Stock apps work, and 3rd party apps don't even appear. For some reason I think it stopped mounting my ext3 after a reboot, anyone have an idea to mount the ext3 partition?
[G1 Android Development] mrnote8:
I'm assuming you've tried clearing market cache before reboot. ¿ if that hasn't got it, then it's got me..
[G1 Android Development] xidominicanoix:
well after the first time that i set it to HQ, it always stayed HQ ... will try rebooting and will see if it stays HQ again :)
[G1 Android Development] rsxtypes72:
great work cyan. thanks for the pimped out recovery too. i think you deserve a scooby snack
[G1 Android Development] xShadoWxDrifTx:
Hey guys, after upgrading from 3.2 to 3.4, its totally buggy now, I think i need to erase my ext2, or ext3 from my sd card

Whats the command to erase everything on the linux files systems from my sd card?
[G1 Android Development] usmc2k:
Download cyanogen's recovery image... n try fix'n the permissions first
[G1 Android Development] sacredsoul:
Just a simple question. This rom creates the ext2/3 partitions and automatically App2SD? So, its all optimized out of the box and we cant do anything to make it faster? It easily the fastest rom i ever used but i like to squeeze out every possible performance increase.
[G1 Android Development] Mikey:
Got my market back after a wipe...........although now everything shows up that the apps need updating lol

Another 40 minutes applying the updates to the ones i can. :(

Never ending.
[G1 Android Development] MortICi:
I have been meaning to ask, why isn't this rom odex'ed? Wouldn't that speed up the system?
[G1 Android Development] cidica:
Just from what most ppl have seen there is no reason for it. It's already faster then dirt
[G1 Android Development] sacredsoul:
But is it possible to odex it if you want to?
[G1 Android Development] xShadoWxDrifTx:
Yeah I have his recovery image, and tried fix permissions

I think the problem is that im coming from old apps2sd and from max's first apps2sd build

So far no good, I'll keep trying a little more, and update on it
[G1 Android Development] stellarman:
I had a similar but different problem. I had no sound at all, in my bluetooth or on my phone speaker, when making a call. I installed the volume fix upgrade V2. That fixed it. I found by experimenting that V4 broke it and V2 fixed it again.
[G1 Android Development] usmc2k:
Try downgrading to version 3.3.4 thats when cyanogen had unionfs on ext3 which worked great u kan get it here thanks to gork..... http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/upda...3.4-signed.zip then upgrade back to 3.4 it should be good to go.... Let me know if it works out
[G1 Android Development] here.david:
Is it the 1.1 update that caused this? I Fastbooted the 3.3.8 back (had Hero 1.2), after reformting SD, then a full wipe, and then updated to 3.4 everything worked...
[G1 Android Development] ROGUE7474:
OK, I don't know if I just have bad luck or what. I'm currently on 3.3.7 with Manup's theme from the Dude's 1.2b build. I have the latest radio, SPL, and the new Cyan 1.1 recovery image. Everything couldn't be better, no force closes or nothing. All apps work fast and fine.

So I download the latest 3.4 and flashed it. I didn't wipe because I figure same builder so I shouldn't have to. WRONG!

My phone goes f#@cking bonkers. Massive force closes with all the apps and what ever else. I'm I doing something wrong or what? I nandroided back to 3.3.7 and everything is fine again. Should I wipe first or what? I'm confused as f$@k.
[G1 Android Development] Mikey:
actually i just updated to his 1.2

That fixed the problem for me :)
[G1 Android Development] mygti02:
can someone host 3.3.6 please that was the most stable version out of all of them for me. Please i would really appreciate it.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Historical versions are on my webserver: http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android
[G1 Android Development] here.david:
Partition Editor under System/Admin in Ubuntu...If that is what you use...which I can not stress more strongly "is the way to go" as I use 9.04 AMD64 and now take mins correcting my G1 vs the hours I use to...:D

If anyone is interested, I am working on a Step-by-Step "tricks I use" to put up for folks, such as using Android-sdk, Fastboot and ADB, using Ubuntu 9.04 AMD64 (should work for any Linux and might for Windows).

My way of thanking everyone for all the 'HELP' and COOL ROM's and such...Has taken over 100 hours to find out "How to" as bits and pieces only confused me (I know I am slow) and some things were left out of the information from my searches, which caused such stress and lost time - like carrying the ball to the one foot line and then stopping, when "just falling over" would have made a touch down. To many times I found post assumed one knew 'how to fall down' and did not understand that 'blind folks' could fall away from the goal, thereby losing not winning - meaning causing issues with the G1 after all the work to get to that point, kinds of issues.
[G1 Android Development] mygti02:
you dah man, thank you!
[G1 Android Development] here.david:
I always have issues when I use other themes....now I do a clean install of the current version by wipe the G1, re-format the SD ext, re-install the 'clean version' with fastboot, install the new version over that, nandroid backup copy this for later (my new now current 'clean version') to two safe places, then and only then install the Theme(s) using the current version nandroid backup before trying anything different...I have now got this process down to mins vs. the hours...install-reinstall both the versions and the apps (apps taking hours to get right) with all the issues...Oh, I have two SD cards and two G1's and muti-task so maybe 15 mins vs. hours of effort, not timed it, so maybe I should...<grin>...
[G1 Android Development] sputnik99:
I updated from 3.3.8, which was flawless, to 3.4.

I can enter my pin and pass the lockscreen but then I get constantly forceclosings of android.process.acore . I fixed permissions via adb but still no luck.

Something else to mention? Yes I had hero-theme 1.2 before.

Any suggestions? Wipe? Please don't tell me to wipe. I was hoping for fix_permissions...

Thanks

O.K., this one was quite easy: I just had to reinstall the theme. Then: no problems.
[G1 Android Development] Abolfazl:
I have made a combined build of CM3.4 with Hero Theme v1.2

Should only have to wipe/apply once to get both of these

http://abolfazl.me/G1/CM3.4+Hero1.2.zip
[G1 Android Development] xidominicanoix:
its the issue with going from 5 screens back to 3 screens

what solved my problem was removing everything from the 5 screens, update to 3.4, update to hero 1.2, and then put my shortcuts back

other people report that you dont have to remove anything, but just update to hero theme 1.2 right after you update to cyan 3.4 and no force close issues
[G1 Android Development] xidominicanoix:
also meltus posted up a new version of AudioPara4 that should fix bluetooth issues
[G1 Android Development] sputnik99:
thanks...

but in the meantime I helped myself. s.a.
[G1 Android Development] pascanu:
How do you do that (without breaking the whole apps2sd AUFS thing)?
[G1 Android Development] pascanu:
Try removing Market cache (/data/data/com.android.vending/cache/). Did the trick for me when I had this exact problem.
[G1 Android Development] Birba:
The build 3.4 works fine for me.

I noticed that the following folders were automatically created on my ext2 partition (/system/sd):

anr
app
app-private
dalvik-cache
data
local
misc
property
system
tombstones

how can all this folders be relinked to the internal memory.

is that different to symlinks?

that could be something to be explained in the faq in the first post.

because i think, not everybody wants to have those files on sdcard as long as the internal memory is enough.

thanks
[G1 Android Development] sacredsoul:
Ok I got to 3.4 with a newly fomatted SD, wipe + update. Its running like a champ of course. Really fast. Im just wondering, are there any way to make it go even faster? Any apps?
[G1 Android Development] Abolfazl:
Maybe the Lucid Auto Script will help you out
[G1 Android Development] imbonez9:
I feel depressed i don't have the sexy lock screen :( haha, is it because I'm using DxTop but pretty sure that shouldn't do it.
[G1 Android Development] namsir:
How do i apply apps2sd on this build? do i use the method from marcus(apps2sd + init.rc, a2sd.sh pushed to /data" ? or the method from Lucidrem's script(tried this and got forcecloses and loops)?
[G1 Android Development] jrherras:
after you flashed it's ready to install apps to sd you dont have to do anything
[G1 Android Development] namsir:
Does this mean if i upgrade to new build my apps are still there? because i did couple wipes on this build, and the apps disappeared.... i use lucid -s to check the status and it says app, app-private, dalvik-cache is not linked......do i have to link them to be able to see my old apps?

another question:

when you apply the 3.4 do you have to run the apps to sd option on the recovery screen?
[G1 Android Development] pagubg:
Wiped (3 times), installed v3.4, and i can see just force closes. Can not log on even into the desktop ... What is going on on this build?
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
Went from 3.8 to 3.4 and im in love. Thanks for making one of the most easiest builds to upgrade to. Apps to SD is like a no brainer because u dont have to do anything lol. Adding the hero theme makes me not miss rosie def features so much. Its fast as all hell def one of the main builds to stick with. Hopefully Cyanogen can do some work on Hero in the future
[G1 Android Development] Audinator:
I have a weird problem, I was on 3.2 and decided to switch to 3.4, but everytime I try and update to 3.4 I get a boot loop, and I've tried wiping before and after, nothing works, then I tried going back to 3.2 and it works just fine.
[G1 Android Development] ubernicholi:
im wondering this my self. i am not using dxtop. and the lock screen is the same... any ideas anyone?
[G1 Android Development] unrafa:
This build is the best one i have seen, almost no screen glitches, anyway i would like to turn off multi touch, who use it anyway?
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
I read on the first page that it contains Haykuros APN list, would this only show those valid for the current operator? Mine just shows the epc.tmobile.com, I guess I expected a much broader list (wouldn't I need more for data roaming, which is free in the US?). I am doing some travelling soon, and this may come in handy as AT&T has better coverage along the Eastern Shore, and I will no doubt roam to their network on the road.

Thanks..

BTW - great rom, don't think I have encountered any issues here, running with apps2sd, aufs, ext3 on my partition, your 1.2 recovery, heavily themed out. Love this! I was showing my phone to a co-worker yesterday who has the G1 as well, and she was amazed at how different they were.
[G1 Android Development] tercero12:
I use it.

You turn off multi-touch...by using one finger instead of two. ;) Or, you could download the Steel browser which does not use multi-touch. Be sure to get the latest from the kolbysoft website since the version in market is not cupcake-friendly.

If you really need to get rid of multi-touch, you'll have to compile your own kernel and make your own image since it's built into the kernel.

With the exception of the Pacman game, I haven't heard from anyone else having screen-glitch problems (and a quick forum search confirmed). Perhaps you have a glitchy phone?
[G1 Android Development] bryon13:
minor issue

Cyanogen, this rom is fantastic!

I am experiencing a minor glitch: when I go to menu>settings>applications>manage applications, it starts to act like its loading my apps, then freezes. Hard reboot was the only way to fix. I've tried 2 or 3 times with the same result. Its not a big deal to me because I use atrackdog, so I can manage most of my app stuff there, but for things like clearing caches, defaults, data, etc, the manage applications page is the only one I know of to do that. Just though you should know.

Fantastic work, man! I love your roms!
[G1 Android Development] sputnik99:
I can confirm this.
[G1 Android Development] sputnik99:
Cyanogen for President

Cyanogen, I must admit, that I was unfaithful: I was on Haykuros Rosie Hero for a week.

But after a week of waiting til apps have started, force closes... I am back now. Penitent sinner.

I know this would not have been possible without many others, like JF, lucid, Haykuro and all the others, who are a mainstay of this community (Many thanks to them as well). But at the moment, I think your ROM is the best combination of all hacks and workarounds. I have a free internal memory of over 400 MBs, fluent OS, Market working, Google sync working, everything working (at the moment I don't have an exchange server anyway).

The icing on the cake (ambiguous!) would be Rosie, cause it really looks nice. Hero theme is a bridge til then. And if looking good was all I needed, I would have bought an Iphone.

THANK YOU for your brilliant work with 3.4 and all the other versions, you made.

This might be something on your end, mine loads right on up here. Describe a little more about your setup.
