Quick question, may have been mentioned before. I recently upgraded to Cyanogen 3.6.2 from 3.4.6 and applied Drizzy's Ophone theme and since, my HTC VK will not work in Landscape mode. I dont know whether to blame this on the theme or the rom. I did not have this issue on 3.4.6 but then, I didn't use this theme either. I will try reinstalling the ROM without the theme tomorrow but I would like to know if this is a known issue or something new. Thanks in advance for you help guys. I'll test and post my findings in the morn.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGx-07_162:
I found my own answer in that theme's thread this morning. It was due to an app they included that was not in the ROM (HTC Music) which has a known VK issue. I'm removing it from the theme and reinstalling in hopes that will make the fix.

Nandroid

Another question, sorry:

How Nandroid backup works?

If i'm on cyanogen 3.6 (apps 2 sd) with hero theme and i do a nandroid backup and after i flash my g1 with another rom, Jachero for example, i'll have all my apps because they are on sd;

Now, if i restore my backup, my g1 returns with cyanogen and hero theme? Or must i before flash cyanogen and hero theme and after restore my backup?

I hope you understand what i ask, sorry for my english.

Thanks for help.

Andrea

UPDATE: Solved, nandroid backup is fantastic!

Going Fking crazy. Who can figure this out.

Copying files...

This happens only when trying to update to a hero rom. I actually installed hero with the old JF1.42 spl and it worked. I read on xda that the new spl was tits so I flashed it. Now I have the above issue unless I install an older rom. I even went all the way back to RC29 and re-rooted the device; still the same issue. HELP!!!! Radio is correct as well.

Not sure what the problem is

I have tried searching and haven't found the information I'm looking for exactly, so if this has been covered before and this question seems redundant I apologize ahead of time. When i go to my recovery menu (home+power) I see at the top of the screen this text " E: Can't open cache/recovery/command " Which could possibly explain the other issue I've been having with my OS saying the SD card is corrupted when I use paragon to make a fat32, ext2/3, and linux swap file. I did what I thought was correct following a step by step sd card format in paragon, but I am still having trouble, and would greatly appreciate any help. I've probably tried at least 3-5 new rom flashes a day, I've become hooked on the whole thing, I'm probably doing it the hard way too re installing all my apps every time I switch over, but I've gotten pretty quick at it too :D

THANK YOU to all the hard working people making these amazing roms in their spare time!!!

Possible Bricked G1, recently installed CM 5.0.7 and 2.22.23.02 radio

I searched the forum carefully, but could not find a topic that matched my situation. I have a T-mobile g1 that I have had rooted for a over a year and have not had any issues with it. A few days ago I upgraded to cm 5.0.7 and also updated my radio to the newest one on Cyanogenmod's forum (2.22.23.02). About half way through the day I had no signal from T-mobile and the phone was saying that I could not register on the network. When the phone is restarted it will hang at the T-mobile start up screen and the only way to get it off is to pull the battery. At this point the only way I can power on is by first leaving it with the battery removed for a few minutes, then connecting the power cable, then putting the battery in and it will come on by itself. The phone will boot into android once I have done this, but I still have no signal. I also can not access the recovery, or the bootloader. If I try to access the recovery after I have put the battery in, it will hang at the start up screen. I know the phone isn't bricked because I can boot into Android every once inn a while, but I am dumbfounded as to what the problem is or how to fix it. Any Assistance would be greatly appreciated

Pandora and Slacker are popping constantly.

Has anyone else noticed that Pandora and Slacker radio apps sound horrible now? I have no idea when this change occurred. I used to be able to listen to them with no problems. Now every song pops and skips twice per second with a very regular cadence. The download speed is keeping up the song overall. The song never actually pauses. It just has continuous popping.

It varies a little from track to track. Some songs it's really bad. On others it's harder to hear.

Like I said, it used to play perfectly, and at some point between 4.X and 5.0.8 it became unlistenable.

I tried rebooting. I tried rolling back to Pandora 1.2. It happens in Slacker, too, so I figure it's on OS problem and not an app problem. I doubt it's a network problem. My internet is working fine. Besides, if I were having buffer under-runs, I would expect the song to pause for a few seconds while the app attempts to cache more of it. I wouldn't expect to hear continuous popping.

EDIT: I only searched on here and didn't find anything. Had I simply googled the whole internet I would have found links such as this:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/1277-508-stable-did-not-fix-pandora-sound/

I guess it's a known problem that may have started in 5.0.8.TestX

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freakingwilly:
I've searched the forums, but could not find any cases similar to this. My friend got a G1 and wanted to root it. I've rooted my G1 before and he asked me if I would do it for him.

I followed the instructions from the Cyanogen Wiki HERE to the T. After downgrading to RC29 and installing the Clockwork Recovery Mod, I updated the radio to 2.22.23.02 and then installed the DangerSPL. After rebooting, the phone hung at the T-Mobile G1 splash screen. Now, the phone will not boot into recovery mode (home+power) or boot loader (camera+power) so I cannot install the RC29 image again.

Any suggestions?

Did you install the radio, then reboot, then install the danger spl ?

Also...it sits at the G1 screen for awhile when you load the spl...a lot of people seem to pull there battery before waiting a minute or two.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freakingwilly:
After downgrading to RC29 and installing the Clockwork Recovery Mod, I updated the radio to 2.22.23.02 and then installed the DangerSPL. I was knocking my head, thinking that I didn't update the radio. Fortunately, my friend was recording the whole thing on his Dash 3G, so I watched the recording. Sure enough, I had the 2.22.23.02 radio which is one of the prerequisites before flashing DangerSPL. The only other prerequisite is having a rooted G1, which the G1 is (in the same recording, I did the "reboot" test and the phone rebooted).

I remember flashing DangerSPL on my own G1 some time ago and it loaded into recovery mode in seconds after the reboot. I figured something was wrong when it took a few minutes to get past the boot screen.

Any suggestions?

Noob. Needs help.

Hi,

Before anything else, I'd like to apologize to the mods if ever I'm in the wrong thread or there's already an existing post like this. Anyway, I'm an uber noob and I don't know ****e about any of these. I've been scrounging through the forums and I don't know where to start. I tried reading some of the entries, but I bled through the terms, tried to understand but failed.

I recently got a G1 from my friend who's leaving the country, but he said his phone is rooted already. I figured I might as well maximize its potential.

Ok, so here are my concerns:

1) How do I know what kind of "root" (am I even making sense here?) has been activated in the G1?

2) How do I know what's installed? is there a way to know?

What i know is this:

- this phone's "rooted" (according to my friend)

- according to the phone status:

- Firmware: 1.6

- Baseband version: 62.505.20.17H_2.22.19.261

- Kernel version: 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37 android-build@apa26 #19

- Build number: dream_devphone_userdebug 1.6 DRD36 11745 test-keys

thanks. please don't eat me alive!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1ForFun:
Root is a term that basically means Super User. So if you have root...you have "Admin" type access. Anyway, your on 1.6 which is what G1's are on stock. Most people are on a 2.1 or 2.2 rom right now. I recommend you look at the rom bible and do a lot of reading before you flash.

Something happened to my G1. I was trying to upgrade to a different firmware or something, and when I did so it wouldn't go past the setup after the flash. So I reverted back to the stock firmware, the firmware I have right now, and it is still not letting me past the setup screen. I try to log in to my GMAIL account, but it gives me the error regarding the Google Servers, on the last ROM and current. Now, I let my G1 sit for awhile to see if it had to recognize my SIM card. Let it sit for a month or so, lol, and tried again. No dice. Put a different SIM card in today, and nothing. So this is when I reverted back to the stock firmware, (today). Can anyone help me with this? I don't know why I can't get past the set up screens on any of these ROM's... If anyone has any advice or anything, please reply back or PM.. My last resort is going to a tech repair store and seeing if they can do it, but that's just not the way to do it. haha.

any help is appreciated.

Ps, I'm somewhat of an Android noob. I'm more familiar with WinMo, and haven't quite made the crossover, so go easy on me.:)

*edit: I contacted T-mobile and further resolved it through them. Now I'm having trouble re-rooting. I downloaded the recovery image and renamed it, put it on my sd card. downloaded the TELNET app, and tried to type out the command in there. However, every time I attempt to do so, it says that no such file or directory exists.. I've read Cyanogens directions carefully over and over, but I cannot, for the life of me, get past this step.. helps appreciated.

long story short. i bought a locked g1. did the factory reset. dont have data but have a sim card. i was trying to do the activation over wifi.

when i press enter type reboot and press enter nothing happens.

every time i downgrade to rc29 everything goes smoothly, until its time to reset it after its complete. I restart it and it always get stuck at the screen with the andriod and it says andriod beside it flashing from time to time.

the only way around this is to next install cupcake which brings me back to the activations screen. but i still cant reboot by typing in reboot

its not taking any commands so i cant never get adb to work.

from my searches I'm the only that has this problem right after downgrading to rc29

any info/ help would be greatly appreciated

ok i seen a video and it shows its suppose to go to the small andriod screen before activation. mines never goes to the activation screen afterwards

i can also type in commands at this screen

Looking for the perfect Hero...

Hey guys, I'm new to the forums but I've been loading roms ever since I rooted my phone about 2 months ago. First off, thanks to all the devs for the sweet roms!

Now my issue. I've been trying to find the best Hero rom for my phone. Currently I'm running Artifex's Original HTC Hero 2.1 rom on my phone (specs of phone below) and its been running slow ever since I booted it. Most of the Hero roms I've found are either super fast and perfect, but won't log into google, or are really slow and produce a lot of FC's. My most prominent issue with the current rom I'm using is that everything runs fine, but when i tried to install Linda File Manager from the market, I get an error stating that I have insufficient storage. So my question is what is the best Hero Rom anyone has used, and if you have had any issues (similar to mine) that you were able to bypass, how did you do so? PM me please!

I wanted to root my stock G1 tonight, but I have searched here, and various other forums about the DMD64 Firmware version of 1.6.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gasp0h:
That seems contradictory. This is the first time I have read that all 1.6 people need a gold card...ever. lol

From my research, 1.6 should not be an issue going backwards to the original dream image; unless it is on Rogers service, or you need a gold card (which the closest clarification I have gotten as to WHY you need one is if you are in Europe. I heard this a couple times, whether it's right or not, I haven't seen any reputable sites that have confirmed)

The info I have found on the DMD64 build is that it was from an over the air update from Tmobile for a few fixes to the current 1.6 it was already running. I remember when I first bought this used G1 when it updated. Many thought it was the newer version of android, but was just an update to fix calling issues on the already installed 1.6.

If anyone can help who has done this, and is in the USA, as to what you did and or do on a regular basis it is appreciated.
