end button

I have been using the option in spare parts to have the end button return you to the home screen before puting the phone into sleep mode. This option is now screwy. Sometimes it doesn't take me back to the home screen and the end button won't put phone into sleep mode at all. Using 4.1.10.1

I can add wallpapers and the photoframe widget fine, but after a reboot the photoframe widget doesn''t display the picture. A simple delete and re-install of the photowidget does the trick and hopefully later on there will be a fix for it...

When i try to open Market or Browser they crash, solution?
[G1 Android Development] ths_:
I just wanted to pop in and say that v4.1.10.1 is by far the fastest rom I have used on this phone. I was starting to get angry with all the Hero roms that everyone was claiming were super fast that were horribly slow.
[G1 Android Development] NeoBlade:
Have you done the usual? Wipe then re-flash?

Did you restore a backup before use? The more information given the better and easier it becomes to help.
[G1 Android Development] prettyboy85712:
The Hero roms are fast relative to how they used to be.
[G1 Android Development] gohaneri:
Wipe then re-flash and then restore some backup with Backup for root
[G1 Android Development] ths_:
Eh, the only hero rom that was semi-usable for longer than an hour was Modaco's... Even then, compared to an older rom like superhero, it wasn't much faster.

I'm just glad cyanogen keep pumping his roms out, this thing is like a Porsche compared to the Honda Civic-like Hero roms.
[G1 Android Development] NeoBlade:
Same issue as me before then with Backup for Root.

Wipe again and this time, open your browser, close it and open the market and close it. Then do a restore and all should work fine. Previously you had to install any program from the market as well before restoring but it should have been solved by now. Keep us updated on how it goes!
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
Same exact reason when you join an automotive forum your sig has info about your engine, transmission, mods...
[G1 Android Development] gohaneri:
Ok, i'm going to try
[G1 Android Development] Epoch kW:
I was going to suggest the next thread title as "I think I am funny (EXPERIMENTAL)"

But then you had to hit one out of the park with "This is Bat Country!" because honestly that scene really sums up a lot of my Android experiences to date.
[G1 Android Development] DefTaker:
Yup, toggle settings app does not work with 4.10.1...but that's okay. I just went ahead and uninstalled the app. 4.10.1 is definitely crispy goodness! Can't wait to see the stable 4.2 versions!

Keep up the FANTASTIC work! And THANK YOU again!
[G1 Android Development] gohaneri:
Ok now it's all ok.

Thanks :D

To everyone who had problems with the music randomly playing with Pandora, I have found a temporary solution.

Go into your music app, view your playlist and hit the menu button and select "Clear Playlist"

Now there is nothing your music app can play on default since it seems that it would simply hit play on your previous playlist. This seems to have worked thus far for me and might explain why some people aren't having problems with this.
[G1 Android Development] brummiesteven:
What I do is simply turn "Media Volume" down to mute when Im finished with playing music.
[G1 Android Development] NeoBlade:
Glad it worked ^_^

I had some music issues as well, I had a song which I left on pause and when I connected my phone via USB to charge, the song started playing automatically. I had to re-open the Music player to stop it. In the end I just killed the process.
[G1 Android Development] BUNZ1:
Well this pertains to people listening to Pandora and then the android music app comes on playing whatever the last song was on its playlist. I've been listening for 20 minutes now and havn't had an interruption. I would assume this works for the random music during a phonecall/usb as well -- while retaining your media volume.

Though, all of this is still just a temporary fix.
[G1 Android Development] Proxin:
It was the picture frame widget. I think I had some widgets left over from ages ago when I was trying out Hero for the first time.

Ah, well that's useful then :) I might put that in mine as well if that's the case.
[G1 Android Development] karthikjr:
Yes!

That works, yes.

Only, I have no clue how long the music's been playing,

eating up my battery along the way.

I have an alternative method I've been using.

Just keep a widget running (stock music app or mixzing or whatever).

Play a soft, not-so-loud song, hit pause. That way, when the random play starts, it won't freak everyone out around you (not to mention yourself!).

AND you get to stop the track by quickly hitting play/pause twice. ;)
[G1 Android Development] karthikjr:
Goodbye contacts.

I have an issue that hasn't been reported yet.

Killing all processes via TasKiller kills "system"

and wipes out my contacts.

I get a bunch of FCs right after clicking on the TasKiller widget

(chompSMS, acore and "system"). I have to either do a

Data Sync or restore contacts from BFRU.

Has happened to me twice in the last couple of days.

Anyone else get this?

PS: I've uninstalled TasKiller and have gone back to TaskManagerForRoot.

And I've updated chompSMS from the market. Hoping for the best now.

[G1 Android Development] reese.leblanc:
My apologies if this has been addressed.

I installed the new experimental after wiping. I then ran ext repair and fix_permissions. The program has been great but I noticed today that none of my apps show in my Apps Manager program. I even went and installed a new program to see if it would show up. Nothing.

I can see programs i'lve backed up if I go to install but otherwise, nothing. Any thoughts?
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
I uninstalled it here as it wont work with donut. There are other market managers that do work though.
[G1 Android Development] reese.leblanc:
Thanks. I'll try that.

In other news, most everything else seems to be doing pretty well. I'm looking forward to it becoming a completely stable version. This is all new to me but I'm loving every minute of it!
[G1 Android Development] BUNZ1:
I still think this is the best solution thus far. I did this and don't have any more random playing to worry about.
[G1 Android Development] geedave:
App manager from Best App (look for it on Cyrket) works with Donut and this release. It's a little slow to start, but does all the same (and more!)
[G1 Android Development] geedave:
Streaming Audio Timeout

Haven't had a chance to fully test this, but I noticed this morning that any streaming audio (Last.fm, imeem, Pandora) cuts out after 10 minutes. I'll test this some more (wipes, flash, etc) but if anyone knows of a timeout setting, please post it!
[G1 Android Development] karthikjr:
Ah!

I just checked. I didn't have a playlist active

or a NowPlaying Queue in Music.

But MixZing did. And the songs that played at random

were the ones that were on in there. I've cleared

the playlist in MixZing now. Hope that takes care

of the problem.

Thanks for the tip! :)
[G1 Android Development] NeoBlade:
I've had my conection cut off quite a lot recently geedave, losing signal be it when browsing or even during a call. I'm not 100% sure if its just T-Mobile here in the UK or the ROM since I've not had the issue as often before. My girlfriend thought I hung up on her!

Will keep an eye out on this thread though for any hints of theories and solutions to try out though. I wonder if there will be a new radio upgrade too soon...
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
First off I would like to say that I am not trying to play mod, or be rude to anyone, so please if I offend, send me a PM instead of further clogging this thread.

Now, I am sure that I am not alone in feeling that this thread is intended to discuss issues with an experimental rom, not to repeatedly post about the same apps not working with donut. This is an issue for the dev of the app, not cyanogen (whom I am sure has plenty of extra time to make sure our apps work also), and thus I have started a new thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4557025#post4557025

where anyone with app issues can post and discuss. My hopes is that this will get the attention of the devs whom job it is to worry about this.

Thank you for understanding, and as I stated before, do not flame me for this, if you are upset, send me a PM.
[G1 Android Development] himom:
Where do you think the batteries that failed QA go?
[G1 Android Development] bouyark:
I've just experienced this. I am turning off autorotate now and back on later.

First time ever experiencing this on any of Cyanogen rom.

das boot

Last night going to bed I had a lot of acore waits with connectbot running in the background. I shutdown, took the battery out for min or two. No troubles since.
[G1 Android Development] kerauno:
No issues here using TasKiller. And I have used it to kill all processes.

Contacts remain and phone is working great.

You should probably try a wipe and re-install ROM.
[G1 Android Development] elzee:
Removed 4.1.10.1 returned to 4.0.4.

Result? No more Black Screen Freezes! Is no-one else on this thread having this issue???
[G1 Android Development] jf4888:
ive had this problem as well ever since 4.1.10.1

but iincreased swappiness/overclocked and it doesnt do it as much/ not at all
[G1 Android Development] kerauno:
No.

Did you do a wipe before installing the ROM?

Also you should reformat ext2/3/4 to start fresh.

Can you tell us what apps or widgets are running when you get the black screen?
[G1 Android Development] d3cryp7:
I have the BSOD issue also. I am removing my apps one by one to see whether it is an app problem. It seem to happen at random and not when my phone is plugged in. I got it again after I unplugged from the power source
[G1 Android Development] elzee:
Black screen freeze continues to be an issue with 4.1.10.1!

Lucky you! :(

kerauno, yes, everytime.

OK, I was wondering about this. I haven't done this at all but from what I've read in other posts with others having other difficulties , it would seem reformatting their SDCARD made no difference?

It got to the point where I ditched nearly everything.

Dropped:

dxTop,

Weather Widget Donate,

Twidget Lite,

Stopped using Power Control (toggle5) as it would FC at startup (but still eventually run).

The ONLY widget then that continued to run was Picture Gallery. It accesses my Gallery on the SDCARD and rotates images every 30min.

I'm wondering whether I should change my SPL 1.33.2005 ?

jf4888: thanks for your input too.

d3cryp7: I found it occured when the phone was left unattended for a period of time whether on charge of not. Thanks for your input.

zer0day: yes I can hear it doing things like that too .. it just appears to be an inabiity to respond to input via the menu key. I also got odd behaviour from the Menu key. In these instances hitting the menu key would bring up the left directory tab (when running dxTop) and vibrate when hitting the key!

Is "stericssons lockscreen" a thrid party App, or part of CM's 4.1.10.1 Rom? I'd quite happily exist without a lockscreen!

OK, took your advice. reformatted my SD Card (now, as per my sig). Wiped and reinstalled 4.1.10.1

It would appear that this is a bigger issue than is getting noticed here on this thread!

If we get enough people to speak up about this issue it may be something we can get Cyanogen to look into, as a priority, to making this Mod stable for everyone. :)
[G1 Android Development] suprajztwenty:
did i do something wrong, i keep getting foce close popups and they never go away, it wont let me do anything...i cant even get usb to connect. im going back to 4.0.4 for now but i really wanna try this out if i can get it to work right

sorry, to be more specific...it says

the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly

New to the forum and Droid Geekin

Hi all,

I am new to the forum. I just rooted my G1 and im running Cyanogen mod-4.0.4. I just wanted to say I was intimidated at first but this was as easy (or even easier) than performing the Cupcake upgrade i did a few months ago.

Anyway, i will start tweaking on my phone tonight and if i find any problems or suggestions i will let you all know...

I was wondering if anyone had an app or would like to talk to me about creating an app that shows where there is Good Signal Strength for 2G and or 3G? Currently i use the "field Test" feature but i would like to be able to plot my location on a map with a color coded bar graph or something. This way people can find a good signal when their call or data transfer is important.

There are a bunch of WiFi hotspot finders but i would rather find a HSDPA hotspot so nobody spills a 5 dollar cup of coffee on my newly rooted G1.

I don't have the experience or focus to write code but i do know the network pretty good. I am a Senior RF Engineer with years experience in GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, R99, HSDPA, etc. if anyone would like to chat with me about this or anything else just send me a pm or email.
[G1 Android Development] zer0day:
I'm getting black screen issues as well now. I flashed 4.1.10.1 yesterday night, and it's been 24 hrs without major issues.

The widgets I have are Power Control, Search, Agenda Widget (from Market), Retro Date & Clock (from Market), and my own custom widget for an app I wrote.

I'm also having issues with Power Control and enabling/disabling Wifi, it keeps ANR-ing saying com.android.settings is not responding.

Despite the black screen, I can hear the phone responding to me modifying the ringer volume using the side buttons, which means it hasn't completely frozen.

Also, I didn't wipe before updating from stable to this version.
[G1 Android Development] suprajztwenty:
ok, now even with 4.0.4 im getting the same force close, what the hell did i do wrong, i know 1 of the 2 were working last night

edit, im the worst damn newb...wipe before flushing...dumbass, lol.
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
Well why don't you wipe, re-format your ext3/4 partition, re-flash the rom, then come back here and EDIT your post saying all is working ok. :)
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
Open your terminal and enter

I have no logcat to prove anything, so there is no reason to believe me, but I was getting the Black Screen Of Death everytime I tried to wake my phone. The instant I removed stericssons lockscreen, the issue went away, and has yet to reappear. This is not suggesting the lockscreen is the issue, more of a suggestion of one possible app that can be the cause.
[G1 Android Development] Major_Skidmark:
fix_permissions

I did a complete wipe and total repartition of my card for 4.1.10.1. It worked fine, except for the common bugs listed. So I decided to run a fix_permission from the recovery console to see if it fixed any of the problems (not happy unless tinkering). That is when my phone started doing freaky things. All desktop icon gone, upon reboot acore forceclosing, heavy duty lagging. I'm at work but wondering if there could be some issue on this build with something as simple as permissions? Anyone else noticed similar probs? I'm going to try from the terminal emulator also......
[G1 Android Development] TheGreenJester:
I've had my icons all disappear, once. A reboot brought them all back. I've not been able to reproduce this. I did not run fix_permissions. The icons disappearing happened after another app force closed (supergnes).
[G1 Android Development] zimphishmonger:
I can confirm this on 4.1.9.2, but havent had this on 10.1 yet. Quite annoying,b\ but a reboot always brought it back.
[G1 Android Development] kerauno:
Why don't you try wiping the ext3 partition, since this is where the dalvik-cache lives and the files on it may be corrupt causing the black screen which is actually the program hanging.

then wipe and then re-install rom

Also, you may want to run the repair filesystem in recovery console.
[G1 Android Development] Major_Skidmark:
Typing SU and then running fix_permissions from the term emulator put me back to the stable condition from before I did fix_permissions from the recovery console. Anyone else want to see if they get sillyness after running it from the cyanogen 1.4 recovery console?
[G1 Android Development] elzee:
kerauno: I have just reformatted my entire SD Card using this excellent tutorial website,

http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/

I'm now running my 8gig as; ext4, 512, linux-swap, 32.3. See how this goes!

Next step .. wipe and reinstall 4.1.10.1 :)

Can only try I 'spose!
[G1 Android Development] kerauno:
You really don't need the linux-swap. You would have to enable it yourself. The ROM has compcache enabled as default. If you do have it enabled, disable it for your testing. Then if everything works ok over the next couple of days, go ahead and re-enable it.
[G1 Android Development] elzee:
OK .. noob alert .. kerauno; which do I disable? Would you have a link to a thread on this. Compcache confuses me enough as it is. lol!

keruano: got it! I like the idea of "nothing for me to do" .. lol! So there's no harm done in having the linux-swap on the SD Card, it's juts not in use, as COMPCACHE is doing all the work. Understood and thanks for the explanation!

I don't want to get my hopes up but SO FAR .. no Screen Freezes! OMFG!
[G1 Android Development] kerauno:
You probably don't have linux-swap enabled. You would of had to install a userinit script on your system to enable linux swap. Creating the partition does not enable linux swap. Compcache is enabled and there's really nothing for you to do.

HTC keyboard is gone after partitioning

Need help. I just re-partitioned my sdcard and after reboot the htc keyboard is gone in settings. what should i do? reflash rom maybe?
[G1 Android Development] vamopyros_wrath:
Just a bit new to g1s not modding and just have a quick question, I have chimera theme on cyan stable 4.0.4 , do I have to take the theme off to correctly update to the latest feauture awesomeness of the experimental or can I just download it through the updater and follow the instructions? Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] prettyboy85712:
You'll need to wipe prior to installing.
[G1 Android Development] NeoBlade:
If you flash the latest version it will over-ride the theme. Just as a precaution you can wipe before wiping. Just don't forget to do a backup ^_^
[G1 Android Development] All~G1:
Be careful not to flash a Theme that doesn't match in build numbers... 4.x.x. You should also post your questions in the respective thread. Your question is Theme based so....
[G1 Android Development] vamopyros_wrath:
I think I wrote that post a bit confusing. This is not a theme question, just a new rom question. Do I really have to wipe, I don't want to lose my 103 apps :( thanks guys
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
If you do not want to wipe (often) the experimental build is probably not your best choice. I know that I wipe with every flash, and though it can get old, it really is not that bad. Besides, if your apps are on your sd, you will not lose them.
[G1 Android Development] schwiz:
partition your sd card for cryin-out-loud :P
[G1 Android Development] waygeekierthanu:
I have the same spacebar issue, any fixes?
[G1 Android Development] vamopyros_wrath:
Lol thanks a bunch man if that's the case, all my apps are safe cause I have a 500 mb ext 2 and a 32 mb swap just in case so I think I will be ok with wiping and I am a veteran modder of phones so I think I can handle an experiment and wiping and I of course back up before and once weekly anyway, I had just wondered if my theme would be overwritten or cause an error , so I will try it w/o wiping, then wipe if unsuccessful. Thanks again for the info +1
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
4.1.11 is here.. Tons of good **** and it's even faster than before.

Have fun :cool:
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
I had seen this as well when trying to type something in global search the space bar kept producing a .com no matter what i did. i had to open and close the keyboard and research and it didnt do it again when i pressed the space bar. I thought maybe it was jsut a glitch on my end maybe but i guess it wasn't
[G1 Android Development] ryanolson7:
Going from 4.0.4 (themed) to 4.1.10.1 gave me no problems without wiping. So imo you should just flash 4.1.10.1 and if you have any problems wipe it and re-flash the rom.
[G1 Android Development] roadrunnerx7:
thanks cyanogen for the update!
[G1 Android Development] Janis:
Before you wipe or take other drastic measures

I'd lose a lot if I wiped. I haven't done it for quite a while. Here are a couple of things I do before I throw my hands up and wipe. They can't do much damage, if any, so it doesn't hurt to try.

1. Flash again, then flash the radio afterward

2. Run fix_permissions from Terminal Emulator

3. Clear the dalvik-cache. in 4.0.4, and I'm assuming the 4.1 series, this is found in /data/data/dalvik-cache. It was formerly at /system/sd/dalvik-cache, but there can still be stuff in there if you've been running CM ROMs since they were putting it there. Again, safe stuff that doesn't hurt, and could help clean things up if nothing else. Just delete the contents of the folder with Root Explorer (now has multi-select), or in adb:

adb remount

adb shell rm /data/data/dalvik-cache/*

adb shell rm /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*​

Reboot. Twice. I don't know why it has to be twice, but my guess is the fisrt lengthy (really long, give it a chance) reboot time re-writes a cleaner dalvik-cache, and the second gives the unit a chance to review it for gaps or somesuch.

As I understand it, the dalvik-cache is, in a tiny nutshell, the code that is the overlap of apps, so that there isn't redundancy (repetition) of code in each app. It's sort of shared stuff. The apps and the image (what's in the ROM) will rewrite it if it's not there. If I'm not off my rocker, I can see where this might get messy for people who try and uninstall apps a lot, or perhaps with updates, particularly if it's not found in a stock location.

I've also found that "refreshing" the dalvik-cache and reflashing the ROM and radio can provide a bit of a speed boost in a ROM I've been using for a week or two.

If you do get to the point where you feel you need to clear out your extX partition, I once found I had something in my ext3 partition that was marked as hidden or in the lost&found, and I couldn't get rid of it without deleting and re-creating the partition. If you're at it anyway, you might as well blast it entirely.

I'm not speaking from a ROM creators knowledge, but I have read, and read, and read. The only thing I've found that had done damage was an old wierdness in fix_permissions that seems to be worked out. The rest seems to have worked well for me and for a bunch of other people, too.
[G1 Android Development] 86Apex:
Thanks cy, keep up the good work! Downloading right now....can't wait for the goodies! :D
[G1 Android Development] vamopyros_wrath:
Thanks for this info this is especially helpful for someone whose computer is crashed I think I might just try the latest update as 4.10.1 was awesome enough to get me hooked thanks cyanogen and all who helped
[G1 Android Development] tekkitan:
A lot of people lose a lot if they wipe, if they don't know how to backup everything they will lose and restore it afterward.

u can run fix_permissions :D
