Question about switching between roms (Hero/CM)

A couple of months ago I was tempted by the Flash and pretty Hero screens so I flashed JACHeroSki lite or something. It was kinda cool but hideously slow, so I went back (somewhat chastened) to the CM path. Part of going over to that was flashing a different SPL and I'm hoping that someone who knows about those kind of things can reassure me that some of the issues I've had on various releases since isn't due to that. It seems like every other rom I flash runs fine until it hits something it doesn't like and I get a looping acore FC that even rebooting sometimes doesn't fix. 4.1.9.2 ran okay for a few hours and now I'm back to 4.1.7. (I've been CM since the early 3.x and always do the fix_permissions, etc.)

I did do a complete wipe and reformat of my old sd card after the Hero experiment but I will admit that I don't always wipe before applying a new CM rom - and wiping doesn't really seem to be a consistent factor unless there is a rom change that has major changes to the file system or something. (The main reason I don't wipe is that it's a pain to always re-enter my local carrier APN info and home wifi settings - and the whole market thing. The backup program for root has never seemed to work for me.)

The only widget I use is the battery one. I don't do themes. I do frequently try out new programs in the market but it can be frustrating to try and narrow it down to which one is the problem, since I often download them a day or two before I get a chance to try them out.

Anyway, I'm not asking for help on my personal crashes since I'm sure that some of it is self-inflicted, just want to verify that the SPL didn't mess anything up. From what I've read in this thread (and the stable one) I don't seem to match up with the most common issues and it's the only thing I can think of that might be a problem.

Thanks,

Terry

So I am loving the ROM. The only thing that I am finding is that I keep getting a google partnership forceclose whenever the phone reboots. I haven't read the thread in a couple days, so I dont know if anyone else is having this problem as well. My phone is running phenominal so I'm not sure why that keeps showing up after reboot.
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
It's not your SPL, it seems like you're using the danger one since you were on Hero like most of us here. WIPE. If you're having problems then WIPE. It comes with the territory of installing new builds.

Backup all your apps and install them one by one, theres a program to do that here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=558108

Since you were on hero, and are going to transition to CM, you're going to need to wipe your EXT partition like this:

First place the CM zip on the root of your sdcard, then in terminal:

su

rm -r /system/sd/*

reboot recovery

then flash the CM build.

I had to do reinstall my apps a few times (mind you, I have over 200), and you're just going to have to be prepared to do that yourself.
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
Give us a log please.
[G1 Android Development] mygti02:
sorry guys really fast question. were is the user.conf file stored in this build?
[G1 Android Development] CoopZor:
I like this a lot !

The speed is good, aldo sometimes i have no icons and i must wait a while, change the rotation, pres some buttons and then it comes back.

But haw does it comes my internal memory runs up after a few days ?

In the beginning (after a whipe) i had like 5mb in use, now i have 20 mb from the 74 mb in use (Black G1)

Is it possible to write a program that cleans your system up, without deleting you'r configuration ?
[G1 Android Development] da0ne:
has anyone been having problems with there gmail account not getting them right away sorry if this was discussed
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
If you read the first post it was discussed:

It's you're network, not the build.
[G1 Android Development] terryowen:
Thanks, andonnguyen, for confirming that the SPL won't affect the CM rom. And for the link to help re-install programs.

Just to correct a misunderstanding, I only lasted a week on Hero and have been back on CM for awhile now. Before 3.8. I've even gotten a brand new sd card in the meantime, so there wouldn't be any artifacts left on it from the Hero thing. Just the SPL is different.

I know that wiping is key but even when I do, it doesn't seem to always ensure a smooth run so yeah, at times I balance the risks vs. the time-consuming restore to usable phone. I accept that it isn't a best practise and if I were asking for fixes I would have enough sense to not submit anything until I had done it all properly. Twice.

Sometimes I'm at work and just tempted enough to try it when a new rom comes out and sometimes I suffer the consequences. But I haven't had anything bad enough happen that a nandroid restore didn't put right. And I get that someday my risky behavior could fry my phone. I was just trying to be open about the fact that sometimes I don't wipe the phone and why.

Thanks for the quick reply!

FC on SugarSync App

@ Cyanogen

I am getting in random place FC in Sugarsync app, it is an application to syncronize files from www.sugarsync.com

I am on 4.1.9.2 (the rom before was 4.0.4) with a fresh wipe and I never had FC on SugarSync on your recent mods, maybe it is related to 1.6 Donuts.

this is the log, if it is related to Donuts I can give some info to the developer.

Thanks

i'm having a similar problem. twice now on a fresh boot the bluetooth works fine and successfully links to my headset. then when i turn off bluetooth and then turn it back on it hangs, and then reboots. will try to see if this happens again. so if I do a log cat after a reboot will it log the bluetooth error prior to reboot? thanks for everyone's help.

-- update

i just did a "shut off phone" with bluetooth on and it is hanging on the shutdown screen, wonder if it has anything to do with the issue above... gonna try to send cyanogen a log...
[G1 Android Development] mygti02:
ok so im having a hard time figuring our which file to pull to adjust swap information....right now my swap is off for some reason. Was swapped turned of for some reason, or do i need to use swapper app?
[G1 Android Development] jdstankosky:
Using 4.1.9.2 I had my phone plugged into a USB cord on my pc to charge it while I was working and I hadn't touched it in a while. I have the screen set to never turn off when plugged in. After a bit I tried to use it but it was froze. The clock even said it was stuck at 2:09 pm even though my wife's g1 says 2:36.

Tried every button, no response. I unplugged it from USB, nothin. Screen is still on as we I type this up even with the 1 minute dim.

Possible bug or freak occurrence? Wish I could grab the log.

Taking battery out to restart phone...

Started up no problem. Unlocked my SIM, seems quite responsive. How weird. Never happened to me before.

I'm not sure how to get the log so that I can post it. Thats the only thing that I haven't figured out yet :(
[G1 Android Development] Sxyman815:
yes I also have and had tried that sorry for not informing 3 partitions doesn't work with wifi or 3g or 3dge fix_permissions was run atleast on every wipe/reinstall of 4.1.9.2 as well as every other rom ive run into:(

still having the market download of new apps and updates not work flashed wiped reflashed fixed permissions can't download any app???
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
Are you using some sort of backup, and restoring market data before signing the market tos?
[G1 Android Development] brybam:
I'm sure this has been reported but just just saying it again to make sure. Running anything in the BG example: meebo on this build just isn't working. I'm assuming because of the cache issue in this build? But I heard in the next release cache will be back.

Also, another quick question if i want to go back to stable can i just apply it as an update without a wipe?
[G1 Android Development] ThR1LL:
Well if your going to the stable release without any problems in 4.1.9.2 it should be fine, but if you are experiencing a couple problems in 3.9.1.2 and thats wh youre going stable i dont understand why you wouldnt wipe
[G1 Android Development] trigeek:
A few people (myself included) have reported issues with going back to 4.0.4 without a wipe- notably that the lock screen no longer works, and the home button does nothing. With a wipe and an install of 4.0.4, it went away. As soon as I did a nandroid restore, the problem returned. Since I wanted all the stuff I had in my nandroid backup, I switched back to 4.1.9.
[G1 Android Development] roguestatuskat:
i am new to this rom, runs fast as ****tt XD im scared itll blow

but is there a reason that my soft keyboard doesn't have haptic feedback?
[G1 Android Development] ShadowFan2008:
The following works with v4192. The following instructions may not work with later udpates.

Go to SETTINGS,

Locale & text,

Under "Text settings" tap 2nd listing of "Android keyboard",

check "Vibrate on keypress".

Now try it... Works for me.
[G1 Android Development] Proxin:
Is anyone else having a problem where opening/closing the keyboard gives a Force Close on process android.process.acore ?

I recently wiped/ran fix_permissions, as well as reinstalled 4.2.9, and it's been doing this ever since I updated to 4.2.9 the first time...

Btw, @roguestatuskat: haptic feedback -will- eat at your battery, so be aware!

Slight edit, I tried turning on auto-rotation, and the Force Close errors still occurred. So it happens whenever my phone rotates.

Got a problem... installed the rom, it ran smoothly, made some calls, send some text messages and then rebooted the dream, after reboot i won't boot to android.... just stays at the g1 tmobile screen... what sould i do for you guys help me?

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] ShadowFan2008:
Try this and let us know if it works:

Download v368, yes OLD version.

BackUp SD Card, reformat SD card, wipe, install v368.

Reboot, WAIT, sync.

If all OK, then wipe, install v4192.
[G1 Android Development] ShadowFan2008:
As I've done in the past for apps FC'ing on Cyan roms...

Contact the app dev. Ask if their app is donut-ready.

If they reply, donut is NOT released by Google yet.

Then its usually a sure fire answer that their app is NOT donut-ready.

Pass on the log-file on to the app developer to review it.

Its up to the developer of the app to work out their bugs. Cyanogen already has enough on his plate without worrying about other peeps apps.
[G1 Android Development] jdscully:
Is anyone else experiencing an abnormal amount of dropped calls n 4.1.9.2? When the call drops I still have 2 bars and when the caller calls me back it just immediately drops the call again. I have had the issue a few times now and assumed it was on the other

end until the calls today were on a landline.

Thanks...
[G1 Android Development] kerauno:
Try clearing cache in

"settings->applicatons->manage applications->Download Manager

"settings->applications->manage applications->Market

What widgets do you have installed? Have you tried removing them to see if you still get the FC when opening and closing the keyboard?
[G1 Android Development] ShadowFan2008:
Sounds like you should reformat SD, wipe, re-flash v4192.

Sync.

Don't install new apps until you've reviewed the battery life for a day.

Then you can tell if a data-hog app is churning in the background to kill your battery.
[G1 Android Development] Proxin:
Good idea, that fixed it actually. I had Analog Clock, Music, and AudioManager large, all on three different screens. And four app shortcuts at the bottom of each screen.
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
AudiManager is known to have issues with Doughnut. Dev needs to update that app. I had to uninstall that widget several updates ago to just avoid widget issues.
[G1 Android Development] Proxin:
How unfortunate, it's really useful to have all the settings nicely in view at the same time. Well that was indeed the problem, I was able to reproduce the FC errors when I put the widget on my Home screen again. Thanks you guys, I'll wait patiently for it to be fixed.
[G1 Android Development] jcostantino:
WOW! I have been running 4.1.9.2 for a couple days now and my phone is so much more stable! I was using 4.1.x and even 4.0.4 but I would get lockups and random reboots. With 4.1.9.2 everything is much MUCH faster and I have yet to get a lockup.

I do have a problem with Copilot, it is now saying that my trial period has ended. Is anyone else experiencing this same issue? My Google checkout number is correctly entered in the program, I've removed/reinstalled it and moved the folder on the SD card to make it start over from scratch, still no dice...
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
I agree with you also. I used it allot for some reason it helps get the audio louder where i can't adjust it the same otherwise. But the widget is really awfull it barely works 100% with cupcake and it's a nightmare on doughnut the dev has barely updated it since releasing it. Try adding the others back one at a time thats how i found some of the culprit widgets as well.
[G1 Android Development] overground:
None of that works. Believe me I've tried everything. See my post HERE. Also logged in cyanogenmod code page issue #384. Can go back to any build prior to 4.1.6 and no problems with market d/l's. Since then, no market downloads, but none of the problems anyone else is reporting either...Guess I'd rather have my problem.
[G1 Android Development] brybam:
Just wanted to say anyone seeing lag or the google partner setup FC at boot and basically any other issues I just did a wipe and then reloaded the rom and all seems to be good. Previously I did the update from 4.0.4 to 4.1.9.2 using CM updater and it doesn't really make it clear weather or not u need to wipe. it automatically for you and doesn't do a wipe first....so i assumed you didn't need to do a wipe before upgrading to experimental .

edit: nvm...after about an hour the phone went back to lagging again anytime I leave an app. It's taking the home screen a while to load. and im having the issue where things like meebo don't run in the background. Any suggestions?

For all you thread police out there. not complaining, just giving my feedback.

[G1 Android Development] blueheeler:
In trying to resolve the issues I'm having with WMA files, I was about to sit down and play with a few files and convert them with different WMA codec versions using dbPoweramp (yes, there are several different types/version of WMA, believe it or not).

But before I spent a bunch of time on that, I decided to look and see if I could find information about which one's the G1 actually supported. I figured it would help me pick the right codec to install into dbPoweramp.

I think I may have narrowed an answer.

1. Android does NOT natively support WMA !

2. The G1 from T-Mobile DOES have WMA support.

Source:

http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html

I can only leave the details to Cyanogen because I have no idea whether or not T-Mobile's WMA has been added to these roms or if it's just not compatible. I do know that when I used to mess with Fedora and XMMS, I could just grab any xmms-wma.rpm and install it, and as long as XMMS was installed, it didn't fuss over which version of Fedora or XMMS I had. That said, Android is a different beast, and I'm not finding anything to work as simple as that.

In addition, just playing around, I grabbed xROM v1.5r3. I don't know how much of CM's code is used in xROM, but all the WMAs I have on my sdcard are identified properly and play just fine.

Maybe this will give someone the clue they need to isolate the problem and offer up a fix.

Thanks.

Third, I've been experiencing alot of FC's and i can't receive incoming calls. And I mean none. Tested it myself. Phone on the other end rings then goes to voice mail. My phone doesn't ring. Just shows missed calls.

I also used the cmupdater.

I'll do a wipe and see what happens. It's just a pain in the ass to uninstall and reinstall over 50 apps.

Fourth, I understood what the dude was saying.

With 4.1.9.2 now. Super stable haven't crash even once so far...

Good job cyan!
[G1 Android Development] TheGreenJester:
ZooooooooooooooooM

4.1.9.2 has been very stable for me.

I do get a google partner setup FC after a reboot. I believe Cyanogen said he thought it was used for mediauploader - I've never used that so I don't know if this FC is/would cause any problems. I can provide a log if needed.

I have experienced some lag in the browser but no where else. Occasionally while scrolling through a page it will freeze on me for a second and then snap back. I do occasionally get a FC/Wait when this occurs. Today the FC/Wait popped up and then immediately disappeared. I've yet to have the browser actually crash on me however.

Aside from the occasionally browser choppiness everything is running better than ever! BFQ seems to speed things up quite a bit. Are the recent BFQ changes in the source branch something we don't yet have included (newer version?) or is that change implementing essentially the same thing we're running in 4.1.9.2?

I shall now attempt to translate this poor and sorry individuals attempt at communication with this, up to now, semi-intelligent Forum.

"y do i gotta feeling "

TRANSLATION: I am contemplating the reasons I feel any sensation while completely and constantly high.

"dis badass sumbitch"

TRANSLATION: To admonish a filthy and unclean posterior, belonging to a rather unusual and mathematically inclined female canine.

"cyanmod is in his batcave"

TRANSLATION: A secretive non-de-plumed individual apparently seeking shelter in a rather dated and tired comic book hideout.

"already cooking up another badass rom"

TRANSLATION: Alledgedly this chap is taking a culinary course in producing algorithms via his previously mentioned unclean posterior.

"while alfred serving his ass sum tea n cookies"

This final translation defies description but none-the-less one shall attempt it. At this point, it is recommended that the children be sent to bed, as the going may get a little rough.

TRANSLATION: It would appear that the afformentioned secretive individual, seeking shelter in a comic book hideout and while producing algorithms via his unclean posterior is, simultaniously or at the same time, having high tea forced into his unlean rectum, by his man-servant, Alfred.

One hopes this this has been an informative debrief of the above. God help us all! Goodnight!
