Jesus Freke!!! I mean do people even read the Comments section of the App. that their downloading or even the posts on here, it's been mentioned so many times that this is an App. issue not the ROM...lemme guess your getting a Force close when you Reboot, the Dev. has not updated yet to fix this, come on people get it together.
[G1 Android Development] pistol4413:
wipe or no wipe?

I'm runing JF crb43 ADP and thinking about taking the jump over to o your Rom should I wipe or not wipe. Also is there away to bring my current setting, data and bookmarks over with me.? That's the one thing I kinda dislike about wiping and flashing new a Rom
[G1 Android Development] Nedlinin:
Check page one..
[G1 Android Development] Nedlinin:
From what I understand, you should be fine.. but, why not download "Backup for Root Users" from the market and use that for all your settings backups incase something goes wrong?
[G1 Android Development] Mikey:
Cyan- you are killing us. :)

can you make two updates per month for example lol

Ex.the 3rd and 15th of each month lol

Great rom though :)

Anyone Help? CM related... I think...

I asked this on page 94, but as I suspected, I was right. When I try to restore my 'nandroid' backup from JF v1.51US build, using CM 1.3.1's restore option, it says "error performing restore! try running 'nandroid-mobile.sh backup' from console. Which hypothetically is the long way to perform a nandroid backup. So again, for some fresh eyes, what is the reason for that message? is it apps2sd? do I need to flash JF's ROM again and then try to restore? (I feel this is related to the post because I am running only CM's builds throughout my phone, I would appreciate senior members not grueling at my question, we were all learning at some point :confused: )

Always

that app ALWAYS force closes UNLESS... when you boot your phone, wait until you see the indicator in the notification bar (keeping in mind that it IS a computer of course, so give it atleast 2-2.5mn depending on what you have running) unless you don't have it up there, in which case I would PUT it up there because CM's ROMs are quite fast enough that the tiny icon should not bother you.

I think Cyan is perfectly comfortable with his own pace, I can tell he's highly talent developer and capable of wiping up anything in matter of minutes or few hours. I've seen his kind before, they tend to hold title of Lead Developer, Software Engineer, Software Architect, etc in real world job.

[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
i may be wrong, but, shouldn't this update be cm4.0.0 since you're changing from andrev1.5r2 to 1.5r3? I thought you were going like this androidrevision.feature.bugfix.bugfix. Anyway, I finally got very very comfortable with 3.6.5, so I might flash this one just to see what it's about (gonna wait for a stable one though), but 3.6.5 is your best so far I think. 3.6.7 was just too much a paint to theme, just re-signing anything on the framework or the launcher, with no changes whatsoever, would throw the phone into loops and debug throwing out problems with permissions. might be because I was using test keys, who knows.

Accelerometer is working. Thanks for the nudge.

It's a solid build. Thanks Cyanogen. Will be interesting to see how battery life is on CRC1.

Camcorder's force closing.
[G1 Android Development] sdelmont:
3.6.8 broke many shell scripts... it's all ash's fault

It looks like many commands and scripts are broken in 3.6.8.

The symptom is an error message like:

$ am

/system/bin/sh: am: not found

It looks like the original android shell didn't need shebangs on top of scripts, but ash does... so all the scripts already in the system that expected the default behavior are now falling.

A temporary solution might be to replace /system/bin/sh with a version from an older build.
[G1 Android Development] Smokuevo:
make that x2
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Meh. Figures.
[G1 Android Development] soundwire:

[G1 Android Development] shotad:

[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
Faster to do it yourself

Since you do adb, just make it easy on yourself and do the following:

make dir on PC with volume hack files you want to use
then:
cd to that directory in your cmd shell on your pc
now:
adb remount
adb push AudioPara4.csv system/etc
adb push AudioFilter.csv system/etc
(optional)
adb push AudioPara_TMUS.csv system/etc
adb shell reboot (unless you want to push more files, see below)

Thats it! I do it everytime I flash Cyanogen's latest and greatest and it takes me all of 1 minute!

Also, I push all of the ringtones I have in one simple push like this:

on PC cd to directory where my audio files are, in my case in a directory called audio-resources
adb remount (don't need this if you just pushed audio fix)
adb push audio system/media/audio (all folders in audio get pushed i.e. ringtones, ui, notifications, alarms)
adb shell reboot

I toyed with idea of unzipping updates and including these files in the update.zip, resigning the update and flashing that, but someone (thanks whoever that was) pointed out how much faster just doing it manually was!:p
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Yeah, confirmed. Looks like there is a new permission required to record audio in 1.5r3. Will be easy to fix.
[G1 Android Development] nxt:
Google Gears still broken on 3.6.8

(If you had google gears working before, it'll still work), if you wiped, and don't have a working google gears isntalled before this, it won't install/work.
[G1 Android Development] Smokuevo:
that worked thanks!
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Guess we can add "record and playback video" to the Community QA Checklist.. :)
[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
OK, so Binary100100 beat me!

Sorry for the long winded post, didn't think of ash problem and since I don't bother with the lucid script I just posted what I do.

Maybe will help others, I hope! :o
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
Hmm. Did you try it manually for kicks?,

That was me :p

I made a .bat file, it does pretty much every mod I want.

I love it.

Update: fc on camcorder, known.

Stable for the rest. Fast as hell too.

I just hope the theme template stays the same for a while...
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Didn't realize it was only after a wipe. I'll look into it for the patch release.

I am having some trouble with my youtube application, it appears that when I am streaming a video, there is only sound but there is no video (black screen with seek bar). Anyone experiencing the same problem?
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
For those with the Google Gears issue, if you push Browser.apk from 3.6.5, it'll work.
[G1 Android Development] Droid8Apple:
If you can...

I know fastboot works on my phone (duh), I know i have the driver from the SDK working for me in fastboot as well, but to be perfectly honest I have never seen "nooB" or "stupified" instructions on the nandroid backup. If i'm connected and go into CP on my computer (vista64x) and type ADB i get a big response, but if you could just point me in the right direction i'll gladly read 300+ pages to learn how to do it manually. thanks again for your simple, polite responses.

How do u know if Google Gears is working ? And is ash necessary since its causing so much conflict ?
[G1 Android Development] atlmatt:
Fixed

I have been on the Cyanogen mods for a long time and have had minimal problems. Recently I had several problems though. The Home key quit working, The phone would randomly go to the lock screen, and my phone would send all phone calls to VM.

Tried several things to fix these issues but none of these worked

cleared all the cache

wiped/update/wipe

downgraded to previous releases

went to other developers builds

formatted the partitions

None of this would remedy the situation

So today I took the phone all the way back to stock

Went back to root,

Cyanogens recovery IMG

latest radio

and Cyanogens latest release.

Installed all my old apps

Everything works fine....

Which leads me to my question

Could it be possible that after a period of several updates, wipes and the many other things we subject our phones to that we need to strip them back down to basics and then update them again? Could things be getting jumbled and messed up that the wipe and clearing the cache is not clearing out?

I been doing this since the day we started the custom ROMS And have had everyones ROM on here at some point in time
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
I would think formatting your sd card and wiping would be the ultimate "nuke" to the phone.

Going back to stock, re-rooting, and reinstalling the same ROM wouldn't change anything IMO...
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
I was thinking (somewhat) along those lines when 3.6.8 came out a little bit ago. I hadn't performed a wipe in a long time and was considering it. However, I didn't wipe my phone and everything is working great (except for the known camcorder issue). Google Gears is working because I didn't wipe.

Anyway, it seems to me like you went through a lot more steps than necessary to get your phone back and if you're concerned about left-over data then why not wipe your phone and re-format and partition your SD card? You'll have a clean slate each time.
[G1 Android Development] atlmatt:
I thought the same things, But I did all I knew to do and none of it worked.

Figured formatting the SD Card, wipe and installing a different ROM would fixed it if it was the ROM, But apparently it was something else...
[G1 Android Development] atlmatt:
I did, I formatted the EXT2 and the FAT32 partition, wiped the phone, but none worked

It took me less that 30 minutes to do it all so was no big deal there. Just think maybe it might me something to keep in mind.
[G1 Android Development] Knightsofwar210:
So all I have to do is make the necessary partitions which I have to use swapping? I don't have to enter any commands into adb shell to enable the swapping?
[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
do a search and read first page

Search one level up from this thread! Read Cyanogen's faq on his first page where you downloaded this ROM!

You have to use a userinit.sh to enable swapping.
[G1 Android Development] njuncos:
read this to setup swap

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=531988

you need to create a userinit.sh file that you put on /system/sd

follow the instructions above
[G1 Android Development] Droid8Apple:
Yes...

yes i tried, it prompted me to do that so i did. it seemed to be the long way around making a nandroid backup. i need to restore a previous backup from JF's ROM and RECOVERY, but am running all CYAN now... which shouldn't matter according to the majority of the folks here, but it is not restoring. i was thinking that he meant to do the "old restore method" using a PC and ADB etc. *i did it twice, and twice i rebooted to where i was before attempting to restore...*

[G1 Android Development] njuncos:
unlike, for instance, JAC's roms which already enable swap automatically from the start
[G1 Android Development] 2leaponover1:
A lot of this depends on how you use the phone. Everything I do on my phone is completely stable. I have had no problems with anything. I would count it as 100% perfect. I don't use the google gears crap. I will never check gmail over the web when it automatically comes through. Seems silly to me. So for me, stable is absolutely this latest rom. I think that is how Cyanogen bases the roms. The average user will find this rom stable.
[G1 Android Development] njuncos:
type nandroid-mobile.sh restore path_to_your_backup_file

so instead of typing backup, type restore...but restore needs the path to the nandroid folder containing your backup
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
If you have a third partition setup on your SD Card (I have a Linux-Swap2), you'll need to push a userinit.sh to the /system/sd to enable the swap partition, but after that it will work even after rebooting and flashing. Also, the third-partition shouldn't be larger than 32MB or you'll run into problems.

I attached mine userinit file if you want to take a look at it...if you want to try it, just change the name to userinit.sh (the forum doesn't allow uploading of *.sh files)

Sorry, those of us who have been around awhile prefer others learn how to look up their solutions. I know it is "nicer" to just point someone to the relevant thread, but unless it is a "new" issue that hasn't been addressed numerous times before and you know the solution to the new question, I think we are all better served if people get taught how to help themselves.

I know, I am a jerk! But look in the old closed thread (Closed by the way because it became too bloated with repetitive questions and answers) and see how many "hand holding" posts I used to make and you will see why I am a bit jaded now in my old age! :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] Droid8Apple:
Thanks!

Thank you very much, I do greatly appreciate it. My path then would be similar to this:

nandroid-mobile.sh restore /sdcard/nandroid/HT92VLD01033/20090708-2328

again, sorry for the nooB stuff...
[G1 Android Development] njuncos:
yes, exactly

we were all nubes at one point, don't feel bad
[G1 Android Development] njuncos:
hey man, i completely agree, which is why i simply pointed him to a direction to get started instead of telling him step by step how to do it.

ya know, we were all new at some point and i think with all the different ROMs out it can be overwhelming at first...hell, when i started modding, the only ROM i knew of was Haykuro's H and G series builds

but things have changed and grown a lot! so to help a guy out by telling him to read a thread is not too out of the question, is it?
[G1 Android Development] AngryCookieMonster:
Same here, it was overwhelming going through all the roms trying them out, hey it was fun. but at the same time was kinda scary, now im stuck on cyanogens roms becuase there stable and fast not only i like the constant update, like windows but they work and dont crash the system:D now im about to flash to v3.6.8.

Question: Is there a updater app available for cyanogen roms to check for latest update? If not, has one been planned?
[G1 Android Development] Droid8Apple:
Just shoot me...
