Can I chime in?

I'm totally new here. New to Linux, phone mods. I am not new to computers.

As a total noob, the information here is a little overwhelming. While everyone is well intended, sometimes little things are sometimes left out.

This is about my 8th post here. I am afraid to ask a question. I know the search button but often I can't find what I need and even if I do, they work for some and some that don't.

Hear me out. I rooted at first of course. The syntax was wrong is the sticky, I typed it exactly like it said, 50 times. Finally I asked and at first someone said the syntax was right, another guy came in and said no, it turned out to be a spacing issue in the sticky. It wasn't my typing...how would I know?

Again, afraid to ask for help here for being slammed, I spent 2 days reading trying to figure out how to partition my sd card. I followed the directions to the letter but it did not work, I went back and found at post #43 it said you must use capitol Y for it to stick. How would I know that if the sticky didn't say that? Do I have to read all 260 pages here before I ask a question?

Why was that omitted from the guide? So, for all you guys that know all this stuff, searching is fine, but you can't blame it on the noob when the guides themselves have errors and omissions.

Yes, I got it partitioned no clue if it's right, I'll have to read for another day to figure out if what did was right. This site has a wealth of information, sometimes too much and I have found some people not very friendly at all.

I've made 8 posts, rooted, recovered, radio, spl, themed and now partitioned. Trust me, I have used the search feature to get to that point, so save your attitude.
[G1 Android Development] prash:
Its OK if you dont have the AKMD files to remove. As long as the rlid files get removed, just reboot and it SHOULD have fixed the accelerometer issue. The only other fix is to do a factory reset. So try that as last resort.
[G1 Android Development] drnkonrum:
prash thanks for the quick reply. The reboot after performing the suggested fix does not correct the error. Neither does a factory reset.
[G1 Android Development] derfolo:
As you can see in my signature: "Cyanogen updates too quickly for themes!"

:D

On a more serious note, I feel sorry for the theme developers--so much great work that can be broken when the next update comes out for all of these great ROM versions.
[G1 Android Development] Mr.Duckie™:
i have a question, how do i get my camera and camcorder to work?
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
push the camera.apk from 3.6.5
[G1 Android Development] grokdesigns:
http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/
[G1 Android Development] mianosm:
There are two shortcuts readily available now on the theme forums that can make theme porting take about a total of 10 minutes at most....

....just depends on how thirsty and ambitious a person is on porting/making it happen. ; )
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Wait a second.. Whats wrong with the camera and camcorder? Get me some logs please, they should be 100% working.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Apparently he has a problem?
[G1 Android Development] _Kyros_:
Thanks homie.
[G1 Android Development] derfolo:
I just flashed from 3.6.5 to 3.6.7.1--both the camera and the camcorder work fine for me.
[G1 Android Development] iflyabeech:
my camera and camcorder and everything else is working great, except for quickoffice, which is still force closing when opening (See post 161)
[G1 Android Development] shotad:
seems like my battery is draining really fast on the new update...anyone having the same problem? I did do charge to 100% reboot...and still having the same draining issue..
[G1 Android Development] rrstx:
okay, this is wierd, just did the update. when I go into ringtones from settings only 3 ringtones are listed. I have the audio folder with the ringtones, notifications and alarms on the root of the sdcard. I also have a music folder, off of root, that has a ringtones folder. Any ideas as to why I only see 3 ringtones and only 1 choice for the alarm when I set my alarm ringtone?
[G1 Android Development] _Kyros_:
Is the SD card notifications checked?
[G1 Android Development] kizer:
Man I don't know about anybody else, but that battery meter is so wacked out. Says 96% one time and then a reboot it says 89%. I charge it for a while and then it all of the sudden its 94%.

Either my battery is wacked out or well the meter is hahaha

I started noticing it a few days ago after reporting that I was having awesome battery useage from 3.6.5. Who knows its a phone and unless it shuts off I must have battery power still available. :D
[G1 Android Development] Stigy:
No I meant I don't have a swap-space setup on my SD Card and this ROM runs very fast on my phone.
[G1 Android Development] bhilgeman:
Did you unzip the audio resources to the SD or just put the zip file on your sd card?
[G1 Android Development] rrstx:
yes, the sd card notifications is checked.
[G1 Android Development] flexnix:
Is there anyway to remove multi-touch option off this rom? I think its whats causing my touchscreen to stop responding.
[G1 Android Development] Nedlinin:
Well, running into a problem after the newest flash (3.6.7.1) - For some reason my SDcard is being mounted read-only...

I have tried mounting it rw manually by

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /sdcard

but havent had any luck...

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
[G1 Android Development] rrstx:
the zip file was unzipped and the audio folder was placed on the root of the sdcard.
[G1 Android Development] NIko516:
help

I am running the cyanogen 4.0.1 on my g1 and for some reason after partititioning my 8gb sd card it does not read the ext2 part...therefore apps are not goin to the sd card....i am also unable to boot my system with the sd card inside the phone after taking out sd card and booting everything is gone all apps and settings..can someone please help me to solve this problem !!! thnx
[G1 Android Development] mrcrs:
go into recovery and repair file systems and run fix permissions. try that.
[G1 Android Development] NIko516:
will this delete everything again?
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
Please do not be afraid to ask. And if someone like me leaves a sarcastic answer don't give up. I answered sarcastically a few posts ago because of the question that was asked, and the way it was asked. The calendar sync option was beaten to death for days, cyanogen has chimed in that he is looking into it. This should have been searchable. But yet I answered the question, I did not leave it as pure sarcasm.

Now onto your issue. What is your issue? Were you just letting us know how you feel? (no sarcasm intended, I understand) Seriously, if you need help just ask, or even PM me and I will try to help. It's just so many of the questions asked here have nothing to do with the rom and tend to just make it difficult to follow the issues with the rom. This can be fun, challenging, and even rewarding when you accomplish what you have set out to do. Let's just keep it on topic, and at least try to search, and most of all post in the proper thread. Now I will go back to lurking here, and will refrain from being a dickhead. :) Well that is after the bank account comical bull**** is over.
[G1 Android Development] zimphishmonger:
I sure hope this was a joke.......
[G1 Android Development] PorchG1:
So I upgraded from JF 1.51 with Apps2SD to 4.0.1. I did the upgrade without wipe , but I undid the apps2sd scripts. It sort of worked, all my apps that were on the SD card appeared

Most, if not all my apps FC. adb logcat showed that many apps did not have permission to access the internet, gps, etc.

I was going to wipe, but since I had a MyBackup of all my apps, I did a reinstall using adb.

I used this command on my Linux laptop.

find . -exec ../adb install -r {} \;

And it reinstalled all my apps, keeping their data intact. Now everything works just fine.
[G1 Android Development] the_fish:
Working fix for the Accelerometer please! Otherwise, AWESOME ROM!

EDIT: the fix with deleting akmd* and rild* worked for me! ;)
[G1 Android Development] Vlad83:
I just noticed I am unable to log into Google purchase history as well as bank accounts... Could this be a security certificate issue?

p.s. I also hope those acct #s were a joke lol
[G1 Android Development] NIko516:

[G1 Android Development] dgoodisi:
Home Screen Auto Rotate

The default 1.5 ROM used by the MyTouch (and all Magic?) have the auto-rotate for the home screen turned off.

Just installed the latest Cyan ROM, and discovered that the home screen auto-rotates.

Anyway to turn this off JUST for the Home Screen?

Yes, I searched this thread and forum.

The response to use Settings/Sound&Display/Orientation is wrong. This should be enabled so all other apps rotate.

I do not want to change the global setting, I just want turn it off for the Home app like the default Magic ROM has it.

Any way to do this?
[G1 Android Development] Chahk:
Grab the Launcher.apk from the MyTouch rom and push it over the existing one on your phone. Of course, you will lose all other benefits of Cyanogen's modified launcher.
[G1 Android Development] RMR6:
Strange, I just had this problem today and the fix worked like a charm. After you execute the "rm /data/misc/akmd* /data/misc/rild*" what files are left in the /data/misc directory.
[G1 Android Development] mer6:
Not sure, as I believe this was an intentionally added feature :cool:
[G1 Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
I'm no expert but it does sound like there is a problem with https sites.

Anyone? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] oreoOozZz:
I gotta stop in real quick and give props where its due, Cyanogen...you are a genius and know how to handle the android system. This ROM is most likely the fastest and has the smoothest implementation than the rest, all the extras that were tastefully added are also a huge plus. Thanks for all your hard work, trust it does not go unconsidered and godspeed in building future android ROMs.
[G1 Android Development] Fictionles:
I can log into T-Mobile just fine to check my account balance, and that's using https. To me it sounds like an issue with those banks not accepting the "user agent" the built-in browser is sending it. Maybe its specific to Chrome (unless it was modified)
[G1 Android Development] NIko516:
will going into recovery and repair file systems and running fix permissions delete apps and settings...and how do i do this step by step..dont want to mess up anything even more
[G1 Android Development] Chedderknight:
I searched, but maybe missed it somewhere, but the youtube app doesnt play in Hd anymore other than wifi now? i remember in previous stable versions this was enabled for anytime viewing.
[G1 Android Development] drnkonrum:
I'm not exactly sure how to check that. I'm a bit of a Newb. All I did was follow the directions to remove the files. Let me know how and I will check.
[G1 Android Development] jlacy76:
I don't think it's his rom :)

I really don't have any issues. It was just a comment from reading some posts on here and also a few I received myself. "Search is your best friend".

I'm about done here anyway. I think my g1 is as good as it's going to get thanks to Cyan. The info was all here, my problem was finding it in a way that I could understand given the fact I knew NOTHING about all this a few days ago and also there were some stickies that needed updating. There were times I felt very frustrated in this process and because of some comments on the board, I just tried to surf through it all.

Frankly, I can't think of many people who would go to all this trouble to learn all this and IMO anyone that shows up here trying to understand what we do is one of us, and even if they know nothing, and IMO are part brothers around here. None of us were born knowing anything and this while may seem easy for Linux admins, for some of us, it's all Greek.

I was given this G1, it's ugly as hell (beat up bronze model), but the backend is much improved now. I'll work on the looks next and hopefully Cyan can get Donut on it for us some way. He has done an amazing job here and deserves more than beers, but we know that.
[G1 Android Development] L10nH34Rt:
Damn I wish that was true :p
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:

LOL, now that is funny. It really isn't all greek to you is it? :D
[G1 Android Development] gtrplr71:
I seem to have any issue and the search pulled up really old post that have no relivence to this issue some of my apps dissapear it happens the next day upon rebooting. Any ideas?

build cyan 4.0.1
[G1 Android Development] Danmalone72:
w00t 4.02

im so the first to download!
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
4.0.2 is up. Enjoy :cool:
[G1 Android Development] darkace:
Sorry if this is a noob question, but I can't seem to find a black and white answer to it anywhere. So currently I'm using Jesusfreke's 1.51 ADP ROM and I would like to switch over to Cyanogen's 4.0.1 ROM. I don't quite understand how/what exactly am I supposed to do to switch over to the new ROM. Do I need to update the radio/spl or anything or does that one with JF 1.51 work with Cyanogen's ROM? If someone could just walk me through the process or guide me to the post where it explains how to do so, I would greatly appreciate it :D. Thank you!
[G1 Android Development] xidominicanoix:
updating radio is always a good idea so do that first .. then just grab cyan's rom and flash that (dont believe you need a wipe with that but YMMV)

awesome man flashing now :D
[G1 Android Development] 2311:
Did you already install the radio update before JF? (I ask this because I've seen many guides for rooting your phone involve flashing JF, many I have seen get you to do radio before, that's how I did it)

And what he said:
[G1 Android Development] ahampton82:
It's dangerous to ask a question like this in a thread with 300 pages.
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
Nice, bout to flash 4.0.2 now. Good thing I have the threads at 50 post a page, so I won't be cluttered with 300 pages.
[G1 Android Development] darkace:
So I'm checking the baseband version of my phone right now (that's where the radio version is shown correct?) and it ends is .26I. I'm not sure if that's the newest one of not. But yeah I installed it before I flashed JF 1.51.
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
You should be good to go. And your question was valid. It is not easily found here. Much more valid than the posts just saying "Flashing Now" "Downloading Now"
[G1 Android Development] xidominicanoix:
Seems that the advanced launcher doesnt work to well with 4.0.2 :\
[G1 Android Development] darkace:
Alrighty, thank you very much :D! Yeah I was just a bit nervous about switching ROM's again and bricking, but hopefully this works out.
[G1 Android Development] pistol4413:
Well ur good. Just flash it. If u r coming from jf apd no need for a wipe but if **** hits the fan wipe and reflash
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
Just install Cyanogens Pimped Out Recovery 1.4 and do a nandroid backup first. You can easily go right back to where you were with a nandroid restore.
[G1 Android Development] fgizzard:
is that md5 correct for 4.0.2?

i'm getting 9C316180CA61D5CB8728AD3C4F43BC97
[G1 Android Development] _Trev_:
Was about to post this as well. Also getting this Checksum
[G1 Android Development] Fictionles:
Very much second this. Also, getting adb to work on your computer/laptop (if available) and watching logcat while it boots should also help make you feel easy.
[G1 Android Development] Snakiej:
What is this CM updater that Cyanogen is refering to in his last tweet?
[G1 Android Development] xidominicanoix:
its on the first page of dream android dev forums and its in market

here

EDIT:

Also, has anyone gotten the adv launcher working on their phone? :)

EDIT:

Got rogro's original adv launcher working ... thats a relief ;)
[G1 Android Development] skat325is:
Ok im gonna give this one another try, this time i wiped JF rom, flashed CM 3.4.6 and then without wiping updated to 4.0.2. *Crosses fingers*
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Hmm i cant get this to work, it just hangs at the tmobile screen and adb logcat doesnt respond it exits from tht command. MD5 doesnt match up either maybe thts why neone else get this workin ?
[G1 Android Development] velazcod:
Flashed from 3.9.10 to 4.0.2 without wiping and everything went good (so far)!

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] Fictionles:
I have 4.0.2 working just fine. No issues here.

I run logcat every time I update just to watch it come up.
[G1 Android Development] _Trev_:
yep, looks like it kills compatibility with the Adv launcher.

Also confirming that the original rogro launcher works.
[G1 Android Development] devsk:
Or use my script in the sig. Makes ROM testing very easy!
[G1 Android Development] zaliman:
advance launcher

@cyanogen yah told me the advance launcher was gonna be included in this update yah just not get enough time for it with friends over an all?
[G1 Android Development] s15274n:
No surprise hear, seems to be working well so far... although there seems to be a delay using the physical keyboard making this post from my g1..... anyone else notice this?
[G1 Android Development] skepsis:
damm 4.0.2 is fast!! Keep up the good work cyan. Buying u a beer atm.
[G1 Android Development] stellarman:
Check the setting in your APN. Go to Settings --> Wireless Controls -->Mobile Networks, and long-press your carrier. Then search this or the previous Cyanogen (experimental) thread for '8080' (as in the port number). There was a short series of posts about https and the correct settings. See if that helps.

Best,

Rick
[G1 Android Development] PhaseBurn:
There was a 4.0.2 build that was recalled before the announcement went out due to an issue. The .md5sum file wasn't updated yet when you downloaded the 4.0.2 image. The 9c316180ca61d5cb8728ad3c4f43bc97 sum is correct. The other one mentioned was the sum for the recalled 4.0.2 file...

All's good...
[G1 Android Development] prash:
Hey Cyan, as per our PM convo, is the theme template the uncompressed images? I still see the indexed color and the matte issue I wrote about. It seems this one uses compressed images as well. Any chance I can get the uncompressed images?

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] Binary100100:
check your checksum

While running a verifier I'm coming across MD5 Checksum of 9c316180ca61d5cb8728ad3c4f43bc97

but the Checksum that you provided is:

3deb29615a30cd4850efdcda4579cae3

nevermind... too little too late. it looks like it's been addressed already.
[G1 Android Development] rikupw:
if you use getcyan script, it says the md5 is correct, so i'm assuming that he probably just forgot to change the file again :P or gave us the wrong md5sum :P

the checksum you provided is the same on my 402 so i'm assuming its still good ;)
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Emm yea...
[G1 Android Development] wicked_beav:
Anyone having any issues where CM Updater is not pulling the latest ROM. It's saying there are no new updates.
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Ok...WTH...flashed 3.6.8.1 fine and runs....then flashed 4.0.2 and flashed fine 2 but hangs at tmobile screen and "adb logcat" shuts on me....ne help plz ? BTW doesnt even say "waiting for device" just quits n goes to command line
[G1 Android Development] gorkon:
You know I would LOVE to and I am sure others would too. I have seen MULTIPLE people report this as a frickin problem and I have done the process on mine as well. It DON'T work. I am trying 4.0.2 once my battery is charged and see if it works any better. But number 20 in Cyanogen's FAQ might work for some, but it did not work on the G1. This is coming from the latest 1.5 rom from T-Mobile's OTA.

Yes I am a junior member, but I am a sysadmin and have experience on the command line and when I tell you the rm of akmd* and rild* didn't work it didn't work. I happen to DISAGREE with Cyanogen......this IS a problem with the rom and it needs fixed.

BTW I restore back to the nandroid backup and the accelerometer and compass are both working again.

I know I am a junior member in the forum but I am not stupid. It works before....do 4.0.1 and then it don't. HMM...sounds like the rom to me!
[G1 Android Development] nyijedi:
This is my first time using CM Updater to update the ROM automatically. However, it doesn't seem to be applying the update. After automatically rebooting and trying to apply the update, it seems to hang at "Writing BOOT." Any ideas? I have the following lines on my screen when I'm able to select options from the 1.4 updater:

E: Invalid command argument

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

Installing update...

Formatting SYSTEM...

Copying files...

Deleting files...

Copying files...

Formatting BOOT...

Writing BOOT...

EDIT: I shouldn't say it "hangs" at "Writing BOOT," b/c it doesn't hang. Rather, I can actually select an option from the recovery console.
[G1 Android Development] g1g:
hey guys im new here and i just flashed to Cyanongen 4.02 and lost my mms messaging it says not allowed on this phone.. it just dissapeared any advice will be helpfull....
[G1 Android Development] cmg1:
That's what mine looks like when it successfully completes the update. Select the "reboot" option and wait.
[G1 Android Development] mr_roboto:
Ever since 4.0.1 the usb connection sound is the camera shutter sound. Does anyone know how to change the usb sound notification?
[G1 Android Development] nyijedi:
Did you check to see if the update actually applied? I tried this twice now, and when I reboot my phone and go to "About Phone," it still lists my Mod version as 4.0.1 - not 4.0.2. It also still lists my at 4.0.1 in CM Updater.
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Yea so none of the adb commands work either, except for adb devices where i c my device....ne help guys ?
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Sorry, updated the md5sum in the first post. The one that is used by CM updater or getcyan is correct (the one that lives on the servers).

Don't have a lot of time tonight to get to everyones questions because I have friends from out of town in. I'll try and catch up tomorrow.
[G1 Android Development] inportb:
Ooh, dropbear sounds delicious! This is something that I'll have to try... debug over wifi ftw!
[G1 Android Development] farble1670:
updater failed ...

attached a screen capture. stops at this. manual reboot shows i'm still in 4.0.1 (that's that settings > about says anyway).
[G1 Android Development] nyijedi:
Had the same problem - I tried it 3x via CM Updater. I finally gave up with that, downloaded the file from the first page in this thread on my PC, renamed it to "update.zip," and applied it manually like every other update I've done in the past. Worked the first time.
