Hi

I have a tmobile g1 32b model,

Recovery: amon ra v1.5.2

Spl: 11.33.2005 not sure if its death spl or haryuko

The latest radio 26i.

And the drizzy and king hero rom its ok but it doesn't have donut and I've been

Reading that cyanogenmod are the best would somebody recommend me which

Cyanogen mod I should get with my specs plz or if I should do some changes to get

A cyanogen mod. I've tried to get the latest mod from then but got stuck

On the g1 logo never went pass that thanks in adavnce
[G1 Android Development] gsgleason:
You're right.

TeeJay, just do it. You can always go back to a stock image. IMHO, Cyanogenmod is a little too heavy for the G1. Steve himself has a mytouch 3g which is better than the G1, so I guess that might be a factor.
[G1 Android Development] jenol:
reformat your sd card you have reminiscence of hero lingering around in you ext part of the card the put the defanged and cm 4.2.13 and flash away also you need to partition the card to fat32/ext2/2/3/4/and swap
[G1 Android Development] el_smurfo:
Well said. In spite of any potential issues (and I have never had any that could not be fixed by a quick search on xda), CM ROMs are a tremendous improvement over the stock provider images. Follow the wiki steps carefully and, as I have read here many times, you will have a "new phone" compared to the boggy, buggy stock release.
[G1 Android Development] gsgleason:
Agreed. My friend an I both got G1s the same day when they were new. Mine was rooted pretty quickly, went through tons of different builds, and still does. His has just gotten the OTA updates from t-mobile.

He constantly complains about the lagginess of his phone. I played with it, and it's true, it's really bad. Cyanogen is laggy compared to some other roms out there, but it is still much better than stock.

To quote Deebo in Friday, "stop bein' a ***** and come on!"
[G1 Android Development] jenol:
cyanogen is not laggy compared to others i have used all builds and all roms its all in how you set up it up and follow the dirrections to a t
[G1 Android Development] ilaf0106:
Is defanged an image or spl if u dont mind me asking and do I do the fat 32 format with my

Computer or on my g1

One more thing will it work with the recovery i have now the amon ra sapphire v1.5.2
[G1 Android Development] tjhart85:
Defanged is the HTC DEV Recovery Image that has a few tweaks to it....It's an image.

Amon has partition abilities...

ALT-P - Partition SD Card

ALT-0 - Parrtition Card

Swap Size - Defaults to 32

Ext2-Size - Defaults to 512

FAT32 Size will take up the remainder.

I did all mine with Ubuntu CLI and this is a significant improvement!
[G1 Android Development] psguardian:
CM ROMs (unlike most others) don't contain any g00gle apps so you need to save ANYTHING you want to keep from your SD over to PC... Then drop into recovery, format your SD (your recovery.img has a great format menu) first up is size of ext2 part, then size of LinuxSwap part (decide now if you might want to play with it or you will have to start over later), the remainder will be fat32 part (this is the part you see when you use a file browser to look @ your SDcard & what is mounted to your PC when you connect via USB). then upgrade ext2 -> ext3 (if you have a high end i.e. class 6 SDcard upgrade ext3 -> ext4)

then back out to main menu & plug in your USB-cable, choose USB-mass to toggle your usbmount move the defanged.img & 4.2.13 .img & Contacts.apk to your SDcard. unmount USBmass & flash -> defanged -> flash CM .13 -> reboot (the first boot takes WAAAAAAAAAAAY longer then normal so set the phone down & go eat a snack & drink a cup of coffee come back & wait a bit more). Once the phone boots do your setup & then look @ this post for instructions on how to push the fixed Contacts.apk so you can avoid that bug. TaDa! Now you're up & running with the rest of us :D

Waiting

I've tried three of the 2.0 ROMs (no need to change SPL on MT3G, by the way) CM is better by far. I went back to 2.13 and will wait for the master's 2.0 build. Great work, Cyanogen!
[G1 Android Development] gitanojr:
CyanogenMod4.2.13 w/contacts working!!

First of all i want to thank to Cyanogen for this amazing rom; to Stericson for his auto sign bat and amon_ra's for his recovery image...

ok for all those of you who want to avoid pushing the contacts.apk, which to me its the only thing missing on this rom, i just learn how to sign, and toked Cyanogenmod 4.2.13 and his Contacts.apk whick are at the first and second post; put them together and here it is:

http://www.4shared.com/file/198033280/71766a47/update-cm-4213-signed.html

just download, put on the root of your sd card and flash, remember u need to have the base defanged which also u can find here: http://www.4shared.com/file/185252274/26cae001/DRC83_base_defanged.html

flash the defanged first, then right after flash the cyanogenmod4.2.13...

good luck and thanks... :)

and remember it wont hurt u to learn things by yourself or reading this amazing forum, thanks xda developers...

[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Ha! Easy big guy. I would never consider owning an Apple product. :)

That's something I have a question on. Everyone talks about backups left and right, but nothing about Nandroid in particular or backups in general is mentioned in CM's Wiki. What is Nandroid exactly, where do I get it, and at what point in the modding process do I use it?
[G1 Android Development] nebochenezzar:
If you have the new recovery image, then its under back up when you reboot into recovery, this will make a back up that you can revert to if something goes wrong with a new install...think it as a system image, like those rollback things for windows...
[G1 Android Development] mr_deimos:
This question doesn't really belong in this tread, but what the hell ;)

Nandroid is full backup of your phone's system and data partitions put on a SD card. So when you screw something up while flashing or modifying a ROM you can simply and restore the backup to return to previous state. And since it also contains all your data (contacts, bookmarks, app settings) you can even safely do a full wipe and experiment with different rom versions. When you're done you can just restore the backup and everything (including the rom vession) is just the way it was during the backup.

You can do the backup if you have cyanogen's reovery: just select "nandroid 2.2 backup" from recovery menu, wait a few minutes and you're set. The recovery menu also has an option to restore the latest backup. Doing a backup once in a while it's always a good practice, just note that nandroid doesn't overwrite old backups so you'll need to remove old backups manually or else they'll eat up a lot of room on your SD ;)
[G1 Android Development] Riel:
I have a question, since the update I keep getting gapps.com process Force close when the phone wakes up.

Reflashed ..83dev and this rom, still same.

Any idea?
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Count me as one of those people. I actually prefer manually updating and flashing myself. Eliminates potential issues (the first time I used the updater app, it half downloaded the zip and then tried to flash and f'd everything up so I'm gun shy now) Don't get me wrong though, the CM updater app is always placed back on my phone after a wipe though, if for nothing else, it lets me know when Cyan's latest and greatest has been released.
[G1 Android Development] jenol:
sorry to tell you its not and im not going to have a debate with you over it
[G1 Android Development] ilaf0106:
By flashing of defanged and flash cm .13 u mean doing from the recovery menu of

Amon ra v1.5.2 and do I still rename the Rom to update or as it is?
[G1 Android Development] calam:
Thanks you!

:D

Full wipe (everything), flash defanged then x.13, the dialer, & radio, after a couple days of use now, all is now much much better under this build, I must say. Fewer issues in general, apps not starting on their own, less fc's, market installs as well as OF ever did. Maps & navigate seem veeeery sluggish though, but I will try again after a reboot.

Nice gift before your trip, thanks!

I hope you have a gr8 time boardin Steve, try not to die or break anything important ;P

If anyone can direct me to a guide for Backup for Root users, I'd appreciate it, the dev's site is worthless & out of date, & I'm unsure what some of the options (like APN) are, & it took a while to realize restoring everything causes issues, (like market cache, can cause trouble such as restoring app but it being left in a state with mkt stuck in limbo & thinking its not installed & unable to uninstall OR update, ugh)..

I haven't tried the earphones yet but apparently CoPilot is not working for lots of people myself included.
[G1 Android Development] djengizz:
Yes, finally got rid of my bootloop after days of trying to get this working.

I was having a bootloop after flashing on both .99 and .999 (wiped, recreated ext, followed instructions, etc.).

My error was:

D/dalvikvm( 424): Shared lib '/system/lib/libsrec_jni.so' already loaded in same CL 0x0
W/zipro ( 424): Bad offset to local header: 914081 (at 632)
D/asset ( 424): failed to open Zip archive '/system/framework/framework-res.apk'
W/asset ( 424): Unable to find resources file resources.arsc
W/dalvikvm( 424): Exception Landroid/content/res/Resources$NotFoundException; thrown during Landroid/text/AutoText;.<cl
E/Zygote ( 424): Error preloading android.text.AutoText.

I solved it by rebooting when in bootloop and returning to recovery. After this i pushed framework-res.apk from the ROM's zip directly to /system/framework and rebooted.

Everything is now working fine :).

I found a reference to the same problem (a developer building his own ROM) and he got past the problem by changing to another recovery console. Is it possible that my recovery console is not flashing properly and corrupting the file in the progress (I'm using Cyanogen 1.4)? It happened on both ROMS but i was able to flash other ROMS.

please give support on qwertz keylayout 4.1.99

Hello

i like the new stable version but,

is there a way to "easy" get german keylayout on G1 cyanogen mod 4.1.999 ?

i cannot get sleep ... please give support.
[G1 Android Development] runderekrun:
The CoPilot problem apparently only manifests it self through the pirated version of the software.

[G1 Android Development] sstang2006:
this rom is 99% stable
[G1 Android Development] irishrally:
Thanks you so much. I was ready to cry my phone was lagging so bad. Your procedure above brought be back to the lightening fast speed I've come to expect and appreciate from cyanogen's ROMs.

On a separate note, why don't we have the newer fancier looking tab for the apps tray?
[G1 Android Development] uhe04:
Look VERY SIMPLE. I had problems. But now I have 4.1.999 running absolutely smoothly and fast on my G1 phone.

TO ALMOST GUARANTEE IT WORKING: You need to start from fresh. You can use Paragon Partition manager. To ensure you have Ext3 on your SD card and Make maybe a 64mb Linux Swap. Leave the Fat32 part of your SD Card alone. Or just make sure your Fat32 has all the files that you had before you partitioned an Ext3. Partitioning is very easy with Paragon.

Now the easy bit.

1. Put card in phone and Enter recover mode (Home+Power). Do a clean wipe (I did it twice). Fix ext files on phone. Then install 4.0.4 again if you like or an earlier version of CM. Then reboot.

2. Set up everything again your Google account sign in etc. The phone should be smoothly running 4.0.4.

3. Now ensure you have 'signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip' and ' update-cm-4.1.99-signed.zip' on your SD card (You can get them from http://tinyurl.com/ye34nw3).

4. Now reboot into recovery and do another wipe (twice if you like) and immediately install 'signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip' then ' update-cm-4.1.99-signed.zip' without rebooting. Now you reboot. The phone should smoothly be running 4.1.99.

5. Then going from 4.1.99 to 4.1.999 is very easy, no wipe involved. Just install 4.1.999 in recovery mode and reboot.

You should (hopefully) have no problems with this methods. Well I didn't. Start from fresh. Like a new phone. Re-install all your favourite apps and have 4.1.999 running smoothly.

Hope that helps everyone having problems.

Where did maps go again?

Alright everyone, this is getting frustrating. I had perfectly good install of 4.1.999 and all the sudden google maps doesnt work anymore and isnt available in market..

This is highly wack, can anyone offer some guidance. the icon is now the double thick market one and I get a force close on blah.blah.maps when I try to load it.

anyone?
[G1 Android Development] lazinase:
not to me...my Google Maps is still running smoothly. HOWEVER, I had a time all of my contacts were lost and sync didn't do anything. What I did was to reboot the phone and try sync again. Suddenly everything's back again. So, try rebooting it to see what would happen. Also, did you try the command "fix_permissions"?
[G1 Android Development] spazoid:
Help me please

Ok I guess I will ask again since no one answered. I searched the forums over and over, and its VERY VAUGE so please dont bother responding with smart remark...

I did eveything I was suppose to, to install this ROM on my MT3G. I am using RA-dream-v1.2.2 recovery image. When it boots up it is looping at the boot screen. Obviously you cant go into console with a mytouch because there is no keyboard. Can someone please help me to stop the looping and to get it going here.

I went into the recovery screen and partioned my sd card, and switched ext2 to ext3 , but then the loop stopped and it would simply sit at a black screen.

Anyone can take the time to IM me or simply help me would be appreciated
[G1 Android Development] Boomgawd:
Where did maps go again?

Yup, I've re-booted and run fix_permissions. still no maps.

and why isnt it in the market?????
[G1 Android Development] kerauno:
Did either of you try uninstalling and then redownloading from market?

Copilot works perfectly for me. And I'm sure Cyanogen tested it since he uses Copilot.

This thread is getting crazy. Roughly 100 pages of how to install the rom or hanging at G1 or it takes too long.

I have not had any lag or FC problems with this release. Bluetooth working perfectly (except for those that have stereo headsets paired, it seems to play the random music for some reason).

I'll post I hope the final how to start fresh instructions (you must of followed directions on FIRST page FIRST)

1. wipe.

2. install cyanogen's rom.

3. go to console

3. delete ext file system ( i say this because ext filesystem could be corrupt which will cause the lag or fc's or other problems. You could also fix it, but deleting gets rid of all the files from the old rom)

4. recreate ext3 or ext4 file system.

5. run "fix_permissions"

6. reboot.

7. Install your favorite apps after you have used the phone for 24 hours.

Now you only need to do these steps if you have problems. If you experience problems after doing this, then come back and post your problem.
[G1 Android Development] Morrolan:
I've read about the problems with the market, but I haven't seen anything that matches my issue. This is not ROM specific, as I've experienced this on CM and WG, but maybe someone else has come across a similar issue. I am using 1660 and downloads are ridiculous. All of my apps are listed, updates are shown, and I see no issue like posted here. However, when I download, it can take up to three minutes to download a small update. I don't see my 3G icon flashing during this time, nor do I see the downloading icon in the status bar. As I continue to download updates, the progress gets faster, but the first 2 or 3 take forever. Any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I can see why that didn't belong here since it's not a CM-specific question, but thanks for answering anyway. It sounds like the Nandroid backup isn't something I need to worry about until after I'm rooted and have installed the CM ROM.

Well guys, I think I'm going to go ahead and do the whole root/flashing thing (whatever exactly it is that is happening in the CM Wiki). I'm going to wait until Sat or Sun so I can use my gf's laptop which has a built-in SD card reader. My plan is to follow the CM Wiki to a "T" and hope for the best. One remaining question I have on the Wiki is: at what point in the process are you actually backing up your existing Google apps, and then at what point are they reinstalled? Thanks all for your patience.
[G1 Android Development] el_smurfo:
The CM install backs them up for you. Just flash the base then CM and you're good to go.
[G1 Android Development] jenol:
well for those who know how to flash correctly were not having issues lol
[G1 Android Development] gitanojr:
Still having problems?? try rhis...

In terminal emulator type:

su

fix_permissions

reboot

if that doesn't work then try this:

wipe dalvik cache with Amon_ra recovery image...

if u don't have amon_ra recovery image thats a shame, sorry for the non-topic mods :)

Then try this in terminal:

su

cd /system/sd/dalvik-cache

rm *

reboot

If that doesn't work then u r out of luck :( , just kidding, u gonna have to reinstall the rom, u can follow the specific instruction reading at the first post or if u don't like reading, well sort of, then watch this:

[G1 Android Development] nahanee20:
ok im currently on 4.2.3.12 and want to update to .13 but i want to do a clean update. Can anyone show me directions on how, do i wipe from the phone settings or is there another wipe and how, also what does fix permissions due?
[G1 Android Development] gitanojr:
Look one post back, includes a video...

i have never had to use that "fix_permissions" to be honest, cause never had a problem on cyanogenmods, unless its a know bug, but use it if u have problems after installing the rom, not before...

Give a try to that video and post back...

The video includes the Contacts.apk pushed already which was causing a FC after long pressing on contact's on the call log...

[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I have a couple of question about the CM Wiki before I begin.

Just to clarify on this step: since I have Android 1.6 already, the only way I can format my SD card is through the phone itself? I can totally disregard the Windows instructions?

Question 2: once I'm done with a file on my SD card, do I delete it immediately, or leave it there? For example, after I've downgraded to RC29, should I delete DREAIMG.nbh or just leave it there?

3: I've grown accustomed to the HTC_IME keyboard. Is it included with CM? If not, does it work successfully under CM?

4: There are a few apps I can't live without, and if they won't work, I won't bother rooting. They are Beautiful Widgets (version 2.36...when it looked like HTC Sense) and Google Maps with Navigation. Can someone confirm both of those apps work under CM?

5: The last part of the Wiki talks about Hard SPL, and it makes it sound rather risky. I still don't have my head wrapped around what exactly a SPL is, but do I need to do this step? I have no intention of switching back and forth between various ROMs. I plan to keep CM updated and stick with that indefinitely. Since I don't plan to be a serious modder (unlike the typical XDA user), wouldn't it be safer to just leave the SPL alone?
[G1 Android Development] bobthq:
Can't dial with 4.2.13 after installing the contact app fix

OMG everything was working super fine until I upgrade to 4.2.13 and install the contact app fix...The first day everything is fine but the 2nd day I can't dial any number, not even the ones that are already in my contact list. It just crashed and return to the home page after I press on call to call a number. Then I downgrade back to 4.2.12, the problem remains the same, luckily I have saved the version 4.2.9 with Nandroid, then everything comes back to normal, now i'm scared to upgrade to the newest version again. Anyone else have the same problem?
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
Windows formatting is still the most reliable/predictable method for DREAIMG.nbh flashing; I'm not sure why that line's phrased like that in the wiki.

DREAIMG.nbh can be deleted once it's flashed, same for the rest. Though holding on to the 1.6 base and CM for a couple days is advised as one of the easiest problem fixes is re-flashing both.

there is a version available at http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/apps/ (both HTC_IME and clicker are needed) that can be installed after CM is up and running

If you use the 'defanged_drc83' base in the wiki, maps will upgrade from the market just fine. Not sure on the beautiful widgets but it's popular enough I'm sure someone's made it work.

HardSPL is recommended but not required. It's not as risky as DangerSPL but there's risk in any SPL flashing. Being able to fastboot flash things is handy but if you don't mess things up you'll probably never need it.
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
There have been several dozen reports of this problem in this thread. There's even an issue in the tracker for it. There's a fix linked from issue 1010 that may or may not work. The problem happens when you replace contacts.apk and for some reason the shared UID for stock apps loses the permission to make phonecalls in pacakages.xml (not the kind of permissions that fix_permissions fixes, unfortunately). Said packages.xml persisted when you downgraded to .12, which is why even that contacts.apk didn't work.

But, since you have a working 4.2.9.1, upgrade to .13 again and try the update.zip version of the contacts 2.8 listed on wysie's thread. If it still doesn't work you can try the fix on issue 1010 but like I said it's hit or miss sometimes.
