appreciate the feedback

Hi tokyomonster,

I know why you experienced what you did.

In short, you must not wipe after flashing! Always wipe before hand.

This ROM relies heavily (at the moment anyways, things will change in v1.5 :cool:) on certain components being present in /data. The ROM installs these in /data when you flash it. If you follow that up with a wipe, then you essentially delete the installed components that are necessary for it to work!

Couldn't Tell you what was up with cyanogen's recovery, that shoulda been left untouched altogether. Strange indeed.

I'm glad you got things figured out, that's good news. So just FYI, never wipe after flashing the ROM, always before. ;) And you'll be just fine with these ROM's.

Appreciate the feedback!

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] tokyomonster:
Figured as much, thanks for the advice!

v1.4.2 - released as stable

The v1.4.2 - is released as the new stable.

Thanks for the feedback all.

Please read changelog in OP.

If you downloaded/installed 1.4.2-BETA, nothing changed, so you're all set.

rogro launcher black screen

Yo bro!

I tried flashing the rogro launcher because I want the autorotate. When I booted up it never got to the home screen. I'm using the default theme version. So I wiped and reflashed, but it did it again. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this broke in 1.4.2?

Thanks again. :D
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
how are you flashing

This is definitely not broken in any version of the ROM, including 1.4.2.

Are you using the cyanogen's v1.4 recovery? And if so are you using the flash any-zip option and flashing the rogro82 launcher immediately after flashing the ROM?

Let me know!

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] DOHCtor:
Hey enom, can you redo the the distribution of the system sounds to /sdcard/media/audio instead of putting it in the root of the sdcard? Reason why I'm suggesting this is because the sounds in the "ui" folder shows up in my media player (the dreaded unknown artist category).

Ringdroid uses this type of hierarchy and it keeps it from showing up in media player. (i.e. /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones)
[G1 Android Development] DOHCtor:
Nevermind, I tried moving the UI tones into /sdcard/media/audio/ui and it still shows up in media player

edit: Placing the notification and ringtones folder in the root of the sdcard seems fine, it doesn't show up in media player. It's only the ui folder that has problems. Anyways you can move the tones from that folder into ringtones or notifications and just link them from there?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hey DOHCtor,

I'll play around with and let you know. To be perfectly honest, I hadn't played around enough to know the ramifications. I had another individual ?jonno? I think tell me he/she had problems as well. I'm gonna look into it. If there's something I can do here, I'll remedy in v1.5.

PS, have you tried the rogro launcher, just wonder, as I remember you wanted more homescreens and auto-rotate. It runs pretty well for me.

Let me know!

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] DOHCtor:
No, I haven't tried it. All I wanted was auto rotate, because 3 homescreens is more than enough for me. And I also don't like the cramped 5x4 drawer. I can do without auto-rotate for now though. (I'm back on the T-Mo full featured rom :D )
[G1 Android Development] grandtorino:
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm doing. Is cyanogen's 1.4 wrong?

Any-zip got a bug?

Thanks again! :D
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
move em' back

Eeeeeeeewwwwwwww, that is annoying. My apologies.

The best work-around / solution for now, till I can fix it in a release, would be the following, in the Terminal App (basically move them back, in case you need them elsewhere) ...

su
busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
busybox mkdir -p /system/media/audio/ui
busybox cp /sdcard/ui/* /system/media/audio/ui
busybox rm -rf /sdcard/ui
busybox mount -o ro,remount /system

You may need to reboot after that for best results. Again sorry, I always use my playlists and therefor never saw this issue :rolleyes:. Wish someone had spotted it in the BETA.

Thanks for the feedback as always.

Flashed all the way back to stock 1.5, re-rooted, wiped, applied AOSP DRC92 base, exact same problem, same SD card.

Detailed steps:

From TMO 1.6/2.0.2: Rebooted into recovery flasher, wiped user data, applied update.zip (DRC92 AOSP base image)

Failed

From TMO 1.5 stock: Re-rooted, rebooted into recovery flasher, wiped user data, applied update.zip (DRC92 AOSP base image)

Failed.

ADP base also will not boot.

I guess I've just got a ****ty mytouch.

Check the OP, it is absolutely essential that you wipe your ext partition on the sdcard before switching rooted bases.

Having issues. Like this rom but since I went to the newer versions weird stuff keeps happening. Randomly the screen just goes black and won't come back on. I have to pull the battery and reboot. I happens randomly. Happened on home screen on different apps. So I don't think it is app related so any help would be nice.

Edit: this is not happening durring the boot. It boots fine and runs fine then all the sudden the screen just goes black. Lights on buttons still work screen just doesnt . Please help.
[G1 Android Development] vampion:
Thank you very much - its really convenient. I'll use this on my next expansion pack upgrade!
[G1 Android Development] NWolf:
Looks like the AOSP expansion pack is screwing up the AOSP-ADP build. If you just install the AOSP-ADP build the phone boots fine... but the minute you install the expansion pack it boots to a blank screen (after the Android boot screen).

Tried several times now with wipe and from scratch - phone won't boot after the expansion pack is installed.
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
The reason for your issue is because you have left over information on your ext partition. If you format/wipe your ext partition then you will be able to install the expansion pack and boot fine. The best way is to just format the ext partition

The way you can tell is because the base ROM does not support apps2sd therefor its not messing up. When you install the expansion pack, apps2sd is enabled and reads old information from another ROM causing it to panic and crash.
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
the 10MB Kernal MOD is not automatically applied with 2.0.3, it is available with 2.0.3. If you would like this MOD open terminal emulator or adb shell and type this

I've just flashed the 1.6 with the 2.0.1 expansion pack but I have a problem with the TouchInput keyboard. When I typ a point, the cursos moves 1 place to the right of the point but the keyboard don't jump automaticly to Capital Characters.

Does anyone know this problem or have a solution for this?
[G1 Android Development] NWolf:
Thanks! That was the problem... I thought the data wipe handled that as well.
[G1 Android Development] MTechRD:

Hello friend!

Thanks for your response and explanation, but I can't do this. I have this ROM (TheOfficial AOSP-1.6_r1.2 + ADP DRC92). When i did a long click on the text box and selected "Input Method" I only have one choice: Android Keyboard.

Do you have Any idea????
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
Please follow these directions posted several times in this thread

1. Reboot your phone

2. go to Menu > Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging and make sure it is

CHECKED

3. Then open the terminal emulator
[G1 Android Development] sumasage:
This is what i do:

- Go into Settings > Locale & Text

- Uncheck Android Keyboard

- Check Touch Input if it is not checked

- Go into Touch Input Setting (the one below the checked Touch Input)

- Keyboard Types

- Pick Compact QWERTY

Hopefully this helps.

I verified that there is not ext partition on this SD card.

As far as I know, there has never been as SD card in my device with an EXT partition.

I formatted the card and still having the same problem.

Ejecting the card and then powering on also has no impact.
[G1 Android Development] Jdom58:
Cloverdale I'm not 100% sure that statement is correct. I'm running the TMOB version 1.6 w/ v2.0.3 using an ext4 and it's running fast and smooth as silk so far after 1 day. I was using only ext2/3 until yesterday but I thought I read here that the 10MB kernel Patch and v2 Hero ROM would run better with an ext4 so I re-formatted the card last night and gave it a test drive. I don't really see any speed or performance changes between the ext2/3 or ext4 formats but it flashed and works just fine and I get no FCs.

Can anyone confirm the best way to format the sd card tou run the TMOB version?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
keenerb,

Have you tried installing the expansion pack directly after the rooted base ... before "booting up" ...

Like this ..

1) Boot into recovery.

2) Perform Data wipe.

3) Flash the base rooted ROM w/anyzip option

4) Flash (without reboot in between) the expansion pack 2.0.3 w/anyzip option.

5) Reboot.

Be patient ... do give it at least 5 minutes to clear the boot past MyTouch screen (shouldn't take that long) ... but just to be sure.

[G1 Android Development] enomther:

[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
The BEST way to format any card/hdd or any kind of partition is gparted but you have to be on linux to use it. As far as Windows, I don't know I have had partitions crash while formatting with several different partition managers

If you're on Ubuntu [you can just use the live cd if you don't want to install it but I'm not going through detail on how to do that, use your google phone and google =) ]

From what I have heard is Partition Magic is the best windows partition manager. I used Paragon recently and it killed a partition so, its up to you.
[G1 Android Development] qwerty3656:
Why wouldn't you just install it directly from the market?
[G1 Android Development] keenerb:

[G1 Android Development] enomther:
You do not "have" to do this .... only if you want to run more apps simultanouesly .,,,, and you have no need to run 3D games ... you may want to try it out.

But on average ... it's on option ... b/c most users can live without it on this ROM w/ Zero problems.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
It is true in that an ext4 will work, if you upgrade from ext2/3 after flashing. The next time you flash an expansion pack (assuming the issue is not fixed by then), you will boot to a blank screen. I have tested this myself, and it seems to always happen.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
In the terminal

su
expsetup

Tamper away.

Hey. Nice work there, I love the 1.6 donut, BUT:

2. It's written that multi-touch is present in the androidSPIN website. But I can't get it to work.

Help is very appreciated

Thanks for the quick response dude but that's not what I was referring to LOL, it was the type of partitions I meant.
[G1 Android Development] Jdom58:
Ah Ok but I upgraded to ext4 before flashing, another words;

I completely reformated the card fat32, 500MB ext2 upgrade to ext3 and then added ext4, so completely clean card.

I removed the card and used my spare to wipe and install base TMO rom.

Removed spare and replaced with formated card with ROM, Exp 2.0.3, and v2 Hero Theme loaded on it. Wiped the phone again and flashed base then exp, logged into google then went back and flashed the Theme. The only glitch I ran accross was the FCs upon choosing which launcher to choose in the very beginning.
[G1 Android Development] keenerb:
No go. Gave up at 15 minutes of green "Mytouch3G" screen.

I'll roll back to stock 1.5 firmware and then re-do the entire thing this way and see what happens.

I can't swear that there's NEVER been an ext partition on this phone, I have used a variety of microSD cards during my rooting experiments...
[G1 Android Development] qwerty3656:
When 2.0.2 came out, ENOM recommended:

"I recommend ext3 for balance between speed/stability ... if you run lots of simultaneous apps ... create a small 32MB linux-swap partition.

The new compcache will use this as backing store in the rare event in runs out of memory.

What flash recovery are you using?

Try to remove the battery, remove the sdcard, return the battery and boot without the sdcard.

Also, do you have the SDK tools running on your PC? [ If you don't know what I'm talking about then don't worry about it ]
[G1 Android Development] keenerb:
Cyanogen 1.4.

It's worked before. For some reason, when I tried to switch to to the AOSP(?) rom image something went haywire...

I've already tried booting with no SD card, and there was no change.

I had the tools installed a week or so ago but reformatted my laptop in the meanwhile, I can re-install (and probablyw ill anyway)
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
Try redownloading the AOSP ROM, seems like something is wrong with your download if it won't even boot w/o the sdcard and after a wipe. If you have the SDK tools you can see where it is hanging with the boot with DDMS. If you redownload it and wipe and flash the base ROM and it still will not boot we need to have a look at a logcat on boot.

is there some kind of cache in these builds? i've been curious why after the phone's been on for a while it lags and the only thing that will fix it is a battery pull. I've even noticed with other roms that after a couple weeks of running it just lags and the only thing that fixes it is reflashing and reinstalling all of the apps. it's almost like there's a memory leak somewhere.

These last two mornings, it has not gone off. What is even weirder, is that if I immediately set a new alarm for a minute from then, it will go off with no problem.

How fast is it going down? You cache is still in the internal memory, so there will be some decrease. Otherwise, check that you have your partitions in the correct order (Fat32, Ext, Swap).
