In cyanogen's recovery on the device, there is a partition command option,

Format SD: fat32+ext2+swap.

which I did.

Aftward, when going into the device setting on the device, for the sd card, it shows sd card total space, 7078 mb, and then below it, "sd card secondary" row/window, where it says "total space 446 mb"..

I assume this means it was partitioned correctly. Is this as effective as ubuntu? what is the "swap" function?

Also in cyanogen's system recovery, there is another step to convert to ext3. Should I do this, and what is the difference between ext 2 and ext3?

Thanks.

Hi there.

I'm using the EU version of the ROM, with a german G1. This means I have a physical keyboard with a (semi-)german layout, meaning the Z and Y characters are switched between (so it is a QWERTZ instead of a QWERTY layout).

Is there a way to change the mapping of these 2 keyboard letters, maybe some of the files in /system/usr/keylayout?

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Sorry, should have checked that first, and reading all this on my phone during my vacation so didn't see about the log. So from the ls output, what you have matches your symptoms, since wpa_supplicant.conf is built after you get wifi turned on the first time. Unfortunately that doesn't give me any new insight. Oh well, worth a shot. Thanks. Hopefully an expert can shed some light.
[G1 Android Development] mgorman:
i tried doing fix_permissions in terminal and that didn't fix the problem. Anyone else know what I can do to fix this? It broke in 2.4.1. It was working prior to that
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
wifi trouble

have you flashed back to the old version? it could be something unrelated to the ROM .. try going back to v2.3.3 .. do you have wifi once again?
[G1 Android Development] glock30:
I ended up going into the recovery console, removing the APK and the folder, then rebooting. After that I was able to uninstall it without errors and was able to reinstall. Thank you very much for the help!
[G1 Android Development] mgorman:
I flashed 2.3.3 and the wifi still doesn't work. Do I need to send my phone in?
[G1 Android Development] Kerns_JW:
Mgorman,

The theme question - you do not need to flash full theme anymore with use of metamorph. I can't speak for tmo because I think there is a statusbar issue, but aosp worked. Just find the pngs you want to use and metamorph them to framework.res. files range for status bar begins with stat_
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
That's a good result. If TheOfficial AOSP works with MM themes, that certainly has the potential to take some pressure off of enom. Thanks for checking! Your experimental spirit is appreciated.
[G1 Android Development] mgorman:
yea i just started using MM the other day.

But what about my WiFi problem? That's more important
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
I'm sorry, I thought the thread was about the ROM, not your wifi problem. Patience. Meanwhile, we'll discuss other ROM-related topics, 'k? No hard feelings, but tired of the broken record. Lot of people away or less active over the holidays.

Along those lines: Merry Christmas!
[G1 Android Development] Jdom58:
Mr. Enom,

I wish to congratulate you on some fine piece of work you have provided us. I will be forwarding more funds in order to support your programing fluid habit.

Thanks,

JDom
[G1 Android Development] mgorman:
so i wiped and partitioned and flashed 2.3.3 and wifi still doesnt work. DDMS says it failed to load WiFi drivers. How do I fix this?

Hmm very strange. I flashed Cyan's ROM and WiFi worked. This all started after I flashed cyan and then went back to this one.

when i do ls -l /data/misc/wifi/ on cyan this is what it says

drwxrwx--- 1 1010 1010 2048 Dec 24 02:43 Sockets

-rw-rw---- 1 1000 1010 29620 Dec 24 02:43 wpa_supplicant.conf
[G1 Android Development] BloodyWasHere:
Give that a shot, maybe your right, i linked it, i put it up as zip, change it to conf and push it
[G1 Android Development] mgorman:
when i installed cyan I pulled the file. Im in the process of re flashing theofficial. i will let you know

nope. still not working.
[G1 Android Development] BloodyWasHere:
Wait... did you wipe when switching over? this rom usually works best after a FULL wipe,
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Yea I don't get it ... I gave you the benefit of the doubt and reflashed/tested everything ...

I look at the logs ... they are strange ...

But just to be clear ... you're saying ...

If you wipe everything, and I mean everything ... and reinstall the AOSP_v2_base and 242 AOSP expansion pack ... that you can't start Wifi?

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] mgorman:
yes.

i was using this rom and everything was working fine. i wanted to try out the eclair 2.0 rom but didn't like it. I then wanted to see how cyan's ran on my phone and didn't like it either. so i full wipe/partitioned and reflashed the official and my wifi stopped working. when i flash cyan's rom back on the phone the wifi works.
[G1 Android Development] mgorman:
after pushing the wpa_supplicant to the phone when I do ls -l /data/misc/wifi/ i get

-rw-rw---- root root 149 2009-12-23 22:15 wpa_supplicant.conf

drwxrwx--- wifi wifi 2009-12-23 21:58 sockets
[G1 Android Development] BloodyWasHere:
Thats really odd man.. if you have another sd card, try to test by using that.. maybe theres something thats not being deleted correctly, try narrowing it down to what it could be,
[G1 Android Development] mgorman:
i dont think an sd card would have to do with drivers not being loaded correctly.
[G1 Android Development] BloodyWasHere:
Im not saying it could be the sd card itself.. im saying that theres could be something thats not deleting from the ext partition of your sd card properly.
[G1 Android Development] mgorman:
im not sure. i think my phone is a lemon phone. i've had so many problems with it with roms that no one else has. but cyan just dropped his new release with lots of stuff from eclair in it so i might use that until enom can figure out whats wrong, if thats even possible
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
So just to clarify ... when you check the box to start wifi .. you get an error message?

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] mgorman:
says "Unable to start Wi-Fi" after like 10 seconds and DDMS says Unable to load Wi-Fi drivers.
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
As far as I have been able to figure out, there is no way to put wpa_supplicant.conf into ownership by wifi:wifi. The only approach that has worked so far for me is to cat in the contents to the file created automatically when wifi is first started.

It's about eliminating variables.

You said you actually got an error message in DDMS--mind posting the full logcat of what happens when you try to turn wifi on (or link if I missed it).
[G1 Android Development] mgorman:
i also noticed that under /data/misc/wifi/sockets there are no files. on cyans there are two files.

wpa_ctrl_161-0

&

wpa_ctrl_161-1
[G1 Android Development] mgorman:
It says

E/WifiService( 775): Failed to load Wi-fi driver.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
yea those are socket files are are generated only when wifi is enabled, they disappear when disabled.

The problem is far more simplistic that missing files and/or file permissions. As any of those type of issues would be resolved with a fresh install.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] mgorman:
i think cyans rom haxed my phone and made it so once installed you can only use his lol.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Yea ... this is *almost* stumping me ...

But one last thing I can suggest ... is perform one more fresh install, meaning wipe everything and reflash base + exppack ...

Then bootup and attempt to start wifi (don't do anything else) ... and as soon as it fails, send me another log.

This way I can see it fail on a fresh install, hopefully get some insight.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] mgorman:
well so far cyans is working out ok. if i ever have to wipe my phone again ill send you the log.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Awesome .. .glad to help. :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] mgorman:
dont take it the wrong way. its just a pain in the ass to have to keep wiping and reflashing. but beacuse i love you, ill do it right now.

EDIT: log sent. thanks
[G1 Android Development] phil0sophic:
Something else...

Thank you enomther and LucidREM for all of the insane work you do...

Thank you to all of you that have responded to my questions.....

Thank you to all of you that asked the questions that answered mine....

Merry, happy holidays to you all....

This is great stuff....:cool:
[G1 Android Development] saprano614:
hey enomther, so now that the eclair is going ota are you going to give use another great rom from it? that would be great cause your roms kick ass
[G1 Android Development] Sharp12:
How do i reformat ext partitions etc. I can't seem to get out of the black screen from boot. Tried going to recovery and doing the wipe (alt+W), then rebooting but still get black screen.
[G1 Android Development] :
Download Amon RA recovery v1.5.2. It has all the wipe options and flashing options you could need :)
[G1 Android Development] Merlinux:
Sorry if this has been touched on before, but I can't seem to find any information on it...

Is it possible to add additional keyboard languages?

I'm not really fussed about "locale" and gui language, that can stay english.

But the Polish keyboard language would be helpful with polish dictionary/text prediction like i've had previously on a hero rom.

Any way of implementing this?

Cheers
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
When he gets a copy, he'll get to work. It's come up a few times already. Patience. And Merry Christmas!
[G1 Android Development] Sharp12:
Alrighty, I have successfully reverted back to 1.6 w/o expansion. However, whenever I do update to expansion I get a black screen. Following the instructions from the FAQ, I need to wipe my ext partitions.

I am unsure what this means? Can someone explain what an ext partition is? I assume this means reformatting my sd card using the fat32 format to wipe it?

Merry Christmas All!
[G1 Android Development] :
Have you installed the Amon ra recovery image?

I also suggest you go and read up about partitioning, again something the recovery image can do.

Also helps when you read properly the requirements for the roms expansion pack, it does say it needs an ext2/3 partition.
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Dunno what you're reading, but an ext partition is optional, but recommended for G1 users.

Sharp12, if you get the black screen but don't know what an ext partition is, then shadowch31's advice to pick up Amon-ra's recovery image is sound. After installing it and rebooting to recovery, you will find a menu option to "wipe ext". Use that.
[G1 Android Development] Sharp12:
Yes, i have the amon ra recov 1.5.2 up and running. When I go to partition sdcard I see sd ext 2 to ex3, ext 3 to ext 4.
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
This is what you see

1.Partition SD

2.FIX EXT

3.EXT2->EXT3

4.EXT3-->EXT4

All you have to do is partition then select upgrade to 3 then upgrade to 4 is you want..
[G1 Android Development] Sharp12:
I'm using the default 32mb/512mb. I've upgraded to 3 and then upgraded to 4.

I should now be ready to flash the expansion, correct?
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Yeah you are.
[G1 Android Development] :
I would run fix ext first, reboot into recovery, flash the base then flash the exp pack over it then you should load up fine.
[G1 Android Development] Sharp12:
Is that the nand + ext backup you're referring to?
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
No, when you goto partition while in rec mode theres a option to fix ext.But its better to use that when wiping the ext when changing roms.
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
No, you'll want to use that after you get a working configuration. If I'm reading this right, you should be good to go.
[G1 Android Development] Sharp12:
gotcha! Running it now.
[G1 Android Development] Sharp12:
Got the expansion running. Thanks everyone for helping me figure this out on this Christmas day. I wish you all happy holidays and once again thank you for the support.
[G1 Android Development] BloodyWasHere:
Im just dropping by to say 2 random things..

1. I cant say this enough, but this rom is awesome and blazing, and Enom is the most gangsta (awesome) dev out there.

2. Happy holidays to all of you. and thank you too Oleary. youve prob been taking a load off enom with the troubleshooting.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
FWIW ... I reviewed your log and it showed you weren't using the proper expansion pack. It showed v2.4.1 ... you shoulda been using 2.4.2. The bug fixed in 2.4.2 (busybox linkage) could easily have been the cause.

This is why I asked if you were using 2.4.2.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
I'm still a skeptic here. :p

But if/when we get it ... absolutely!

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
But it said some lucky people have it when reading the article in it.

http://www.androidspin.com/2009/12/24/the-unofficial-offical-eclair-rom-for-t-mobile-g1-confirmed/
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
yea I read it and all ... but until I'm one of the lucky few, I have my reservations.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] mplspatch:
hey enom, any ideas why i might no longer be getting a call waiting beep? thanks a lot! happy holidays!
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Not sure.

Are you using cytown's phone MOD? I know it has an option to vibrate on call waiting. I personally never experienced/knew-about the beep on call waiting.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] mplspatch:
I'll download and give it a try! Thanks!

Hey...is the Cytown phone MOD included with the expansion pack? I couldn't find it in expsetup, so I may be using it and not knowing. Either way, I can't find the settings that would allow me to setup vibrate on call waiting. Ideas? Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
It's part of the theme profile; not installed by default. Select expsetup option 16, say 'y' at the right time, then refash your theme (Post 3) or the theme template from Post 1 if you're rocking the stock look.
[G1 Android Development] theghost84:
hello everybody

i used almost all cyanogen rom

now i only need official rom (HTC 1.6 root base)

i tried to set up apps2sd but still can not, my sd card partitions are correct

so anyone can help me

cyanrecovery1.4 + HTC 1.6 root base + sd card with 3 pars

what can i do now for apps2sd ?

or u can upload simple HTC 1.6 root case with automatic apps2sd

i also don't want the rom that cooked too much

Thanks a lot
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
If your partitions are right, A2SD is automagic if you install the expansion pack. If you're just working with the base ROM, you're on your own.
[G1 Android Development] sumasage:
I am getting errors when trying to install apps. It tells me unable install software because of insurficient storage available. I have 8 gigs cards with 100 mb swap, 500 mb ext3, and rest is fat32. I have about 12 apps installed so I don't think that it took up 8 gigs. Anything I can do to fix this?
[G1 Android Development] Ozonethegreat:
I upgraded from the previous version of the expansion pack to the current one and lost my root/Superuser access. I had to downgrade back to the previous expansion pack to regain my superuser access. Any idea why?
[G1 Android Development] Vlad83:
Something must be wrong with your app2sd.

Go to terminal and type:

$su

#df

Paste that here. If you dont see a /system/sd partition then you are not running app2sd. Are you on 2.4.1 or 2.4.2?
[G1 Android Development] Vlad83:
What makes you think you lost it? You upgraded to 2.4.2?
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
The loss of the Superuser.apk in the app drawer might be a big sign.
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
I would recommend reflashing the expansion pack. I updated to 2.4.2 and I still got SU (and the apk).
[G1 Android Development] Vlad83:
Sarcasm wasn't necessary, I was trying to find out what signs led to your conclusion. What steps have you taken after upgrading to 2.4.2? Have you tried reflashing the expansion pack? If that didnt work then try to flash the base ans then the expansion pack right after (without reboot). If that doesnt work and you nandroided (hopefully), revert back then flash the exp pack. Are you able to get back to recovery?

I am running 2.4.2
[G1 Android Development] gitanojr:
I don't know a lot but u r running app2sd, I will recommend to reinstall from base then expansion pack without rebooting, then go to market and download any app.

Did u mess with the "expsetup" in terminal??

If u r using amon_ra's recovery will recommend wipe data/factory, wipe ext/sd and repair file ext, then flash....
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Before wiping, in case there's a legit bug here, create an eplog (expsetup option 8) and send it to enomther at gmail dot com. See if there's anything he can do for you, or a bug he needs to fix.
[G1 Android Development] mailman1387:
Help ASAP

OK i'm tired of having to reflash due to the blank screen while updating expansion packs .Im going to install the amon_RA rec.img

Some1 please post the scripts that i have to type in the term emu after puting it on my sdcard.
[G1 Android Development] mailman1387:
Enom

Hey i wanted to know,will you include chainsDD contact.apk soon?
[G1 Android Development] Ozonethegreat:
When i go into the terminal and type "su" i get permission denied as my reponse. I tried a fix, which seems to work foro now, and that was to use adb and replace Superuser.apk with one from a different build. Before I did that, I did the whole wipe, reflash process to no luck.
[G1 Android Development] Vlad83:
You do have app2sd. Something might have went haywire during update. If you tried reflashing the base+expansion pack (one after the other without reboot) to no avail then try pushing the superuser apk manually and definitely send Enom a log.
[G1 Android Development] Vlad83:
Yeah thats strange when just upgrading the exp pack. But anything can happen when flashing. I had a few mishaps with all roms. Always nandroid (or even better BART) before any flashing...
[G1 Android Development] mailman1387:
Enom

Im getting home core FC every time the phone orientates and im also not getting the 5 screens for some reason.I did options 13 an 16 ands still not getting the 5 screens.Its only giving me 3.Help
[G1 Android Development] Vlad83:
The FC means you have a faulty widget.

After you set up your theme profile you need to flash a theme template for it your settings to take effect. Flash donut theme template if you want to keep it stock.
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
You get the 5 screens on the standard launcher, expsetup not required.
[G1 Android Development] mplspatch:
Problems with Superuser?

Make sure USB Debugging is checked. Go to the settings, select applications, development...and make sure USB Debugging is checked. Below is from the post's FAQ:

Whenever I run 'su' or an app that runs 'su' I get a blank screen and an

eventual FC. How do I fix this, please help!?

A) USB Debugging must be turned ON.

Goto Settings -> Applications ->

Development -> USB Debugging must be CHECKED!
[G1 Android Development] mailman1387:
even if its on the standard launcher i should have 5 screens even after the expsetup process and i dont. Idk whats wrong.
[G1 Android Development] BloodyWasHere:
Actually, i get three screens also, but its not a problem, you can change how many screens you want by pressing menu, pressing the "more" option, followed by the "extended" option. proceed to "home screen", the middle option, and you should be able to change how many home screens you want.

Also the f.c usually comes from a widget or some sorta app, at least from my experience.. trial and error should figure out which one(at least thats my unprofessional method).. after you find out, just reinstall it.. ,
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
That's irrenhaus' Advanced Launcher, an option in the theme profile. My point was that the 5 screen launcher mentioned in various places a few builds ago is a default modified stock launcher, so if that's actually what he was after then no messing around is needed. I didn't make that very clear though.
[G1 Android Development] sumasage:
I some how got it fixed. It was a weird fix and i am not sure what happened. Here was what i did:

I uninstalled a few apps (using AppControl program) then reinstall just to see if it allows me in case the phone think it is out of space. My assumption was uninstall a few should free up some space. So i uninstalled about 5 apps but it still did not let me install any apps. I restarted the phone (took out SIM card during restart), going back into AppControl to check things out and i discovered that the apps i uninstalled was not uninstalled. They were all there. So i uninstalled them again and restarted the phone again (w/o SIM card still). This time they were really uninstalled. Then i tried to install some apps and it worked. I installed a few apps from SD and the Market and everything installed. It was weird.

I will send a log file if this happen again. Thanks guys for your suggestions.
[G1 Android Development] BloodyWasHere:
Oo, my mistake, i forgot about the existence of the standard launcher since ive been using irrenhaus's for so long, yeah, the stock should be set up as 5 by default,
[G1 Android Development] BloodyWasHere:
hey, im having sort of a problem myself though, its about wysies dialer, id ask in his thread, but its a problem that doesnt really exist in any other roms..

when looking at my contacts, it usually sorts it in alphebetical order under the letter, example is edward would be under the E line..

the problem im having is that the letters arent where they are supposed to be, first is U(which under is the contacts that begin with a) then b, z , and the rest are like this, randomly, any idea why this happens on this rom?

Where are you Luke Skywalker??!!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] f00dstamps:
I'm having the same problem. I installed Wysie's dialer which is supposed to be the correct one to use with our ROM. The rest of of Wysie's Contacts.apk worked great but the contacts scroller malfunctioning was a deal-breaker so I restored my Nandroid backup.

Anyone have any idea why this isn't working?
[G1 Android Development] totaldrk62:
Started having the same problem with the newest upgrade. I can't remember if I had the same problem in the last upgrade. AOSP + Enoch.
[G1 Android Development] :
Can't understand the problems using Wysies dailer, works beautifully for me and always has using this rom.

All I can think is that you are using some program that is screwing with it. Do any of you have any call manager programs, modded mms/sms programs? Is this only happening in Wysies mod or other programs like Astro where alpha sorting is available?
[G1 Android Development] xenio2000:
Don't you have the problem with the Letter Scroller on Wysie Contacts.apk on in the old one from Geesun?
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
So far the only common denominator we have figured out is myTouch3G+TheOfficial. Those of us who experience it (like myself) have no problems in other alpha-sorted views, and I for one don't run any replacement sms/mms (I use Handcent). The only phone-related app I use is No Call Log, which intercepts hanging up; nothing contact related.
