Ok, well I updated the radio by downloading the latest version, renaming it update.zip, placing it on my SD card and then flashing it on the phone like I would a ROM.

Am now starting up the phone and it can fully load, but all my apps have disappeared!

It is as if the phone is not recognising the apps on my SD card, what can I do to remedy this?
[G1 Android Development] sebasdoes:
SMS

I've posted this in the JACHeroski thread as well but did not get a reply as of yet. Maybe I'm a bit impatient, but yeah...

I was running their Hero build, 2.7.3 and that was also the first thing I installed when I got the phone last week, but now I decided I wanted to downgrade to CyanogenMod. The only downside is that even if I backup my SMS messages they do not transfer to the old ROM. The file copies, but the messages do not show up in the application.

Eventually I decided to compare the newer database and the older one, eventually the error turned out to be in the SPU table (thank you logcat), I recreated that (it was empty anyway) and then I could access all my messages again. Downside again was that I could not send messages anymore, every time I did that I got an error "Could not send message" and logcat did not show any errors.

Next step was insert all my SMS messages and threads into a blank database from that firmware, which worked and SMS sending worked too, but I still continuously got the error message that the messages could not be sent, while they in reality did send. Receiving worked fine all the time.

Does anyone have any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] raukodur:
WTF!

I thought bugger this, I will just reflash cyanogen ROM since since flashing my radio, although my phone will load up, it wont recognise any of my apps as being installed.

Having reflashed the ROM, none of my apps are present, except for the game 'teeter' which I uninstalled from my phone ages ago.

WTH has happened? Where are all my apps on my SD card? and why isnt the phone recognising them? and where on earth has it dredged up this game from?

HELP PLEASE!

Edit: is it possible teeter was installed on my phone, and all my apps are on my SD card, and the ROM is not currently recognising the apps on my SD card, hence why it is not showing me all my old apps?

If so, how do I remedy this, I thought this ROM was meant to automatically recognise SD card apps and do apps2SD?
[G1 Android Development] raukodur:
Any help would be much appreciated! kind of stuck here with a ROM which is meant to recognise my SD card apps, but for some reason isnt.
[G1 Android Development] ericman77:
@Cyan I had a awsome idea for the multitouch in the browser. What if you could make a extra button on the top left of the screen that you would hold with your left finger. As long as your holding it with your left finger you could scrole the web page without accedently clicking on a unwanted link. The button could like block all links or other buttons just for scroling. I know there's the magnifying glass thing but I find it hard to use and very rarely use it.
[G1 Android Development] SimonNWalker:
Unfortunately my reader in my PC won't read larger SD cards for some reason.

I can read my 1GB and my 2GB cards, but not my 16GB card.

Is there a way I can check the card from the CM Recovery Console?

UPDATE: I know the Fat32 Partition is working fine.
[G1 Android Development] raukodur:
Just to update my situation, I tried downloading some apps from the market to see where they were installing, and indeed they are being installed on my SD card, so I do not understand why the cyanogen ROM has stopped being able to see all the apps I already had on my SD card.

I mean what should I do? on my EXT2 partition a lot of space is taken up by lots of apps which the phone cannot use or cannot see, it seems a very inefficient process for me to redownload them taking up double the amount of space on my EXT2 partition.

SOMEONE must be able to help!
[G1 Android Development] ubernicholi:
Have you tried to do a wipe?

Wipe-->flash build. You will not loose anything on you fat/ext partitions.

I think the radio flash deleted your /system/sd symlink

edit did you try the repair ext partitions option in the 1.3.1 recovery menu?
[G1 Android Development] raukodur:
What do you mean by wipe?

Do you mean Alt+W before flashing (Alt+S) a new ROM? I do that every time.

I just tried to put JF1.5 back on, and manually (via SDK) put apps to SD, which worked, but none of my apps show up, only a really old game I uninstalled ages ago: 'teeter'

This is the same game which shows up when I flash with Cyanogen ROM.

So apps2SD is working in a way, but for some odd reason it cant see all of the apps which were present and working before I flashed the radio. And for some odd reason the only app that is brought forward on doing apps2SD manually with JF1.5, or automatically with Cyanogen ROM, is a game I have uninstalled...

I am getting close to the point of romatting my EXT2 partition and starting over, but that would be SUCH a WASTE of time, having to redownload all my apps, which paragorn partition magic tells me are there (the EXT2 partition has 160mb filled of its 1gb).

There must be a way to get this fixed.
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
When I flashed this on my card, I wiped the data first than applied the update, and when I booted up it went back to JACHero >_>..
[G1 Android Development] ubernicholi:
Did you try to repair your ext partition in the recovery terminal
[G1 Android Development] raukodur:
how do you do that, and why would it work?

BTW, I very much appreciate your help!
[G1 Android Development] B-Eazy:
Great ROM, but I did something to screw it up some how. I think it may have been when i used the script to repartion my card and got stuck at the 'android' screen after a reboot. Since then I wiped, reflashed, tried and nandroid restore installed another rom and tried to go back, redownloaded but I always get stuck. I did a logcat and it keeps stating battery (died) , phone (died) and a few other things died. If you want me to post it let me know, i'll reflash it for you. If I had another phone I'd look into it deeper but this is my only one
[G1 Android Development] ubernicholi:
If you have cyanogen's 1.3.1 recovery its in the menu. If not flash his recovery, the link is in my signatiure
[G1 Android Development] raukodur:
I am trying to open the link in your signature, but the website wont load, any other links to the file?

EDIT; managed to get the file, will be flashing it.

Also, should I wipe the phone before flashing this? I am currently on JF1.5, should I put cyanogen ROM back on?
[G1 Android Development] raukodur:
ok, managed to flash, and tried running repair of EXT2:

gave me this message:

"Error checking filesystem! Run e2fsck manually from console"

How do I do this?

EDIT: hmm, I did a wipe, and then tried repairing EXT2 and it says it has checked and repaired the filesystem.

Going to try reflashing with Cyanogen and see what happens.
[G1 Android Development] dixxa:
go in console mode and type it manually
[G1 Android Development] raukodur:
DAMMIT!

hasnt worked. I now have the latest radio, latest Cyanogen recovery with which I have tired repairing the EXT2 partition, and the latest cyanogen ROM, but still, I cannot see my old apps on my SD card since before I flashed the radio, only this stupid 'teeter' game which I uninstalled ages ago and so it shouldnt even be here.
[G1 Android Development] prettyboy85712:
Teeter is part of the ROM. Also, why not pull all your apps via ADB from your sdcard before you reformat your partition?
[G1 Android Development] raukodur:
lol it had crossed my mind that teeter might be part of the rom, but I had dismissed it since I thought why on earth would that be the case? Especially since labyrinth seems to be a much better game.

Anyway, how do I pull all the apps from the SD card before reformatting the EXT2 partition, and how would I then put them back on?

EDIT: Oh, and btw, any advantage to upgrading the partition from EXT2 to EXT3 or EXT4? What is the difference?
[G1 Android Development] nurre:
anyone noticed reduced battery time on the later roms?

I had 3.7 with no issues with battery, with 3.8.1 it lasts for half a day.

Nothing interesting in logcat, but I've seen system_service stay around 10% cpu usage quite often when the monitor is on. However not always after a reboot.
[G1 Android Development] Blk98Bird:
having an issue with apps2sd possibly

after flashing (did a wipe), the phone recognized apps I had previously installed but when I check storage in the TMO My Account program, it shows only 80 of 89MB. Previously it would display the whole 1gig partition as phone storage. In paragon, the ext2 partition still shows up fine. It almost seems as if the apps on the SD are running, but new apps aren't installing there anymore.

Is it possible something went FUBAR from flashing between different ROMs so many times?
[G1 Android Development] raukodur:
How do I backup all the data on my EXT2 partition (i.e. all the apps on there) so I can try reformatting it to see if that will finally gets app2SD to work on Cyanogen?
[G1 Android Development] zeezee:
How long is the average "sit at G1 screen" wait time?

For some reason after flashing this rom it sits at the G1 forever.

I have the new spl/radio, JAC 2.7.4 works.

SDCard is formatted fat32/ext3/linux swap(32mb)

But yet it doesnt boot with this rom. Whats the problem?
[G1 Android Development] narcopolypse:
If you're running linux or mac you should be able to just plug your phone in (or sd card directly) and read the ext2,3 partition. If you're running windows, you can download the driver here.

Does anyone know why I can't edit my fstab on this build? It seems to regenerate it self on boot.
[G1 Android Development] raukodur:
Hmm, I have installed the driver, but when I plug in my phone via USB cable, or read the SD card directly on my computer, it is still only showing me a single drive, no two partitions one of which would be the EXT2.

Am I missing something obvious?
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
If you have access to adb, you can

adb remount
adb pull system/sd/app .

That will back up all your apps

Then push them back with

adb remount
adb push dir/to/app/backup system/sd/app
[G1 Android Development] raukodur:
OK, I am looking at my EXT2 partition in paragorn partition magic, and in the apps folder on the SD card, it has no files (only teeter and quick office), and no apps in the apps-private folder either.

Dalvik cache is full of rubbish and I have a folder 'lost+found' which has all my apps in it in 3 randomly named folders.

What does this mean? Have I Lost all of my apps? Is that why Cyanogen ROM will not work?
[G1 Android Development] Zappletoo:
Your partition got corrupted somehow. I think the best thing to do is delete everything in lost+found and reinstall the apps one by one.

You can also move them from lost+found to the app folder, but I don't know whether it will work properly or not.
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
That's too weird. Id agree with zappletoo that you partition got corrupt.

You could copy all your apps (if you can) to some where safe off the card. Then repartition your sdcard (yes, nuke your sd) and start over.

Flash cyanogens recovery 1.3.1 if you don't have it already.

Flash 3.9.

Reinstall apps that you backed up, with astro or linda file manager, or even through adb.

adb install path/to/app

Edit: think about making a signature, it helps everyone out. ;)
[G1 Android Development] Zappletoo:
Yes, that would work as well I suppose. The apk is checked for corruption at install time, right?

But installing with adb doesn't update the market db, so no update notifications either..
[G1 Android Development] narcopolypse:
You must open the driver control and enable the option to automatically assign a drive letter when you plug in a ext2 drive. Otherwise you will have to assign them manually.

Backup, backup backup....

We all know, but, be freaky about it, this is your phone, you

neeeeeeed

it!

You will ALWAYS need to wipe at the most inconvienant time...

Nandroid before updates

Appsmanager backup to SD

BACKUP for root users

And

Clone your SD to a file on your PC couple times a week (google search clone software...)

I have NEVER planned a wipe, but these steps have taken the sting out of them

When you do wipe, do it a couple of times, just to make sure it's clean.

Remember, this phone, our SD cards are manufactured by the lowest bidder....

Is it possible to run this rom without moving apps to sd or is apps to sd the reason behind the speed?
[G1 Android Development] dickerdeville:
Havent seen this is any of the two first posts or anyone else.

I'm running 3.6.8.1 and when trying to install apps it tells me there is not enough space.

My FAT partition has 418mb free, and my EXT3 partition has 375mb free, the phone memory is 61mb free.
[G1 Android Development] raukodur:
I am so annoyed atm, this stupid bloody phone is wasting so much of my time.

I have formatted the SD card and deleted the EXT2 partition.

Only now I cannot recreate the EXT2 partition, since whichever version of paragon partition manager I download (the free trials), can do absolutely nothing, and keep telling me to buy a full version.

So can someone tell me how to go about creating an EXT2 or EXT3 partition? I am almost at the point where I am thinking (because I have had to reflash so many times and this phone has wasted so much of my time) that I may as well forget apps2SD, and just keep to the bare minimum of apps I use (which are hardly any) on my phone.

So frustrated I am close to tearing my hair out at the moment.

[G1 Android Development] devsk:
May be your problem is your card. Its got some bad sectors on there. A hardware problem with the card can result in filesystem corruption (like you saw) and create problems all around. Try a different card. They are so cheap, I buy a bunch of them and keep them around.

How does this work though? Does the ROM recognise you do not have an EXT partition on your SD card and so not install apps onto your SD card but onto your phone?
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
yes, just don't create an ext partition, make it all fat32 and you will run cm w/o app2sd
[G1 Android Development] jj71787:
I lost my apps to sd should i reflash ir is there another update i should wait for
[G1 Android Development] pensive:
Backup your apps when you have them back.

1)Drop to console

2)su

a. if not mounted

mount /system/sd

3)cd /system/sd

4) tar -cvzf /sdcard/myApps.tgz ./

5) adb pull /sdcard/myApps.tgz myAppsOnMyPC.tgz

6) rm /sdcard/myApps.tgz

Now you have your apps backed up on your PC.

for some reason running on CM-3.6.8.1 i have had everything perfect for about two weeks i then decided to flash the dark hero theme, it was great for 20 minutes then the auto rotate was messing up so i did reboot, still messed up, then i reflashed the theme, still messing up, soo i restored my nandroid backup from before i even flashed the update and still the auto rotate was not working, and to make sure it wasnt just auto rotate was messed up i ran the level application and it wasnt picking up anything from my accelerometers, so i reflashed cm-3.6.8.1 and accelerometers are still not working... what should i do?

work email sync

Okay.. I charged phone all night and have gone through the day with no recycle needed. Good battery, even with swap. BUT, my work email did not sync for over 24hours!!

I didn't know it wasn't syncing until I got on my computer tonight and saw all my emails! When I launched work email on phone, I saw it last synced 25hours ago. It then synced.

Not sure if there is something wrong with build or the application. Possibly a background process getting killed? More conflicts similar to previous Music bug?

** Anyone else have SYNC issues?

Hopefully one of Cyanogen's updates fixes this. I may need to go back to market apps.... :(

wow this runs really good! love the auto home rotate too! ...not sure why the auto rotate in the camera and camcorder doesnt work .. but hey .. its not sideways!! But anyhow I was really wondering ... Cyanogen ...man, is there ANY way of adding the Hero style wallpaper setting.. what I am referring to is that option to choose from what album to go into to set the wallpaper from ... I ask because I know that I have a lot of pictures ... as IM sure that a lot of people here do as well and it does take a really long time for it to load all the pictures that are everywhere on my phone. Think that would just really help top it off :)

oh and what happened to the ringtones??
[G1 Android Development] NeoBlade:
For Ringtones, go to the very first page and download the Audio Resources file. Just extract it into your SD card and you'll have them all back.

So it should be the root of your SD card, then an "audio" file with everything else inside it.
[G1 Android Development] AustinKnight45:

[G1 Android Development] NeoBlade:
The command "fix_permissions" is only available IF you have Cyanogen's recovery image. If you have already flashed that then boot into recovery mode (turn off, HOME+POWER or in Terminal type in "recovery").

Once there, go into console mode (ALT+X) and type in "fix_permissions"

Problems with my Apps2SD...

I was previously on JF1.51 and recently just installed Cyan v3.6.8.1. I had apps2sd before flashing this and did a wipe before flashin but did not reformat my ext2 partition. After installing Cyan's ROM, i had most of my application running from earlier JF rom including app2sd. Since Cyan Roms states that apps2SD is automatically done, i uninstall my earlier Apps2SD apps.

But i notice after installing a few new applications, my internal phone storage has dropped from 72mb to 62mb. Now, i'm starting to wonder if this rom's apps2sd is working or issit even installing my new application into my ext2?
[G1 Android Development] zimphishmonger:
if you go to settings, SD Card Storage, you can see how much space is being used\free on your EXT2/3/4 partition, where Apps2SD keeps its data. If your ext3 partition is getting smaller, then Apps2SD is working :). FYI, I am using apps2sd w/ about 100apps and my internal memory says 59mb free. As long as internal is above 45, you are golden....
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
The apps are stored on the sdcard. The app data is stored on internal. So, the more apps you have the more app data you have, hence the lowering on you internal memory.

weird problem

i've noticed that not all of my incoming calls rings, i've checked the configuration, even changed my sim card to a new one, this happened before with a hero rom, but i assume that it's because my internet connection it's active all the time, has anyone else has this problem?
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
That sounds about right. I have over 100 apps, my internal is 64MB and I have 380MB free out of 500MB.

Just remember to clear your caches otherwise you could run into some lag.
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
Are you sure you didn't check the "Send calls directly to voicemail" option in Contacts - you have to do this for each contact.

I'd check the individual callers (that aren't ringing) and see if you have an missing ringtone assigned to them or check if they're being sent directly to voicemail.

Or, are you sure you have a ringtone assigned as a default and/or per Contact?
[G1 Android Development] TutoWRM:
yes i checked that no one goes directly to voicemail, and i don't have personal ringtones assigned to anyone (i'm too lazy :) ), the thing is that it's like whenever the phone wants, it rings, for example my girlfriend calls me like 4 times and to her it's like i have my phone off, and in the fifth attempt it rings.

i got the missed calls sms later :/
[G1 Android Development] blazzr:
I see these two problems too: I started with Cyanogen 3.4.6, and now I'm on v3.6.8.1. Takes about 5 secs to see who's calling, and going back to Home Screen (even from sleep sometimes!) takes >10s to show the icons on the Home Screen, and in the pull-up list of applications (I can literally see the app icons appear one by one ;)

Thanks to Cyanogen for the good work tho. Also for the recovery image - I just loaded the 1.3.1 rec. image and don't really know why I didn't do that sooner ;)

How to backup

Hi I just flashed 3.6.8.1 rom and it's excellent!

Just a couple of questions .... I have an ext3 partition and app2sd is active.

When I wipe+flash Cyans's new rom some of my previous applications are there while some are not. Some only shows a com.xxx.xxx name but on clicking them those applications are usable.

Is there a way to better backup those app2sd rather than just leaving them alone in every flash?
