I did, you just gotta allow the recovery image to do its thing before applying CM firmware as if you were using Recovery 1.4.
[G1 Android Development] yoshitoshi:
Do its thing? Like how?

i boot into recovery

Wipe Data

Wipe EXT

then Flash then Reboot?
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Had one occurence of this, but a reboot fixed it. It was actually an app that messed it up..And never happened again!

Anyhow, you might wanna try Amon_RAs recovery image 1.2.3, or 1.2.2, that has 51dustys fix for the sensor... BUT do a lot of searching, you wanna understand what it does. It is supposed to fix broken sensors (broken by software errors), but how it works... I don't know :( Check the link in my sig.
[G1 Android Development] daemorok:
Do you happen to know which app caused the issue for you?

Im trying to avoid a complete wipe, i have a lot of apps installed that id rather not reconfigure :)

[G1 Android Development] phantom574:
i was having the same problem and Thanks To Foxtrickle and Searching i Found out what was wrong the new builds are mounting the ext partition as ext4 so in order to fix the problem upgrade to ext3 or ext4 i stayed with ext3 because i couldnt get ext4 to work but if you can more power to ya

missing touch android keyboard on my G1 after update!

I no longer have the "Android Keyboard" option after updating to 4.1.999 from 4.0.4 stable, and I had Better Keyboard installed when I upgraded. I ran several fix permissions, etc, and successfully installed clicker and htc_ime, and Better Keyboard works fine. I miss the auto-complete of the normal Android Keyboard, tho, and can't get it back. If I turn both Better and HTC off, I get no on screen keyboard whatsoever! The hardware keyboard still works fine, but the HTC interferes with it (not a unique issue).

How do I get the original on screen keyboard back?

PS I did wipe too (I followed every step to the letter)
[G1 Android Development] pelo88:
re: missing contacts

I've seen that happen to me too, but it's not anything to do with sleeping. It's upon reboot. It seems to happen whenever I make a change to my user.conf or perhaps it's whenever I mount -o rw,remount /system and reboot... not sure.

Nonetheless, the fix is easy. Simply go into the synchronization settings and uncheck contacts and check it again. It'll sync right away no problem and no need to reboot (and rebooting doesn't wipe it again).

install "stock" 1.6?

i hope this is isn't a stupid question, but is there a way to install the "stock" donut image on my g1? what are the implications? for example, will i lose root?

if i just flash the "recovery" image that's mentioned in the install instructions here, will that do the trick?

thanks.
[G1 Android Development] Ron Overdrive:
Err no. What I meant was flash the HTC APD recovery rom and reboot to allow the recovery rom to do its post flash installs before returning to Recovery to install CyanogenMod.
[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
Take a look at #20 at the bottom of this page, the FAQ for the stable build!
[G1 Android Development] skesseks:
I am pretty sure that if you flash the stock ROM to the phone, you will lose root. The stock ROM does not have the modifications that are required to have root. :D
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
not just modifications, but also permissions. root is a permission... which you don't anymore have the permissions for when you download the stock. even the hero stuff is faster than stock 1.6 :D

Loop/Reboot Problem

Yestarday night my Dream starts rebooting itself. I switch it on, it show at the end the Locked screen and after that it returns to the Android logo screen in an infinite loop.

I tried to flash cm 4.1.999 again without wipe and it does not work.

I tried fix_permissions and repair file system from Recovery (CM 1.4) but it does not work.

I tried to search the "loop" word in this thread, I red all the nine posts I found, but none of theme helped.

I would like to be able at least one more time to backup my data and the I can wipe and do everything you suggest.

Hope someone helps me...:(
[G1 Android Development] alex_time:
I thought it could be a sdcard issue, but, I tested it on my Pc and all the datas and partitions are still there, furthermore I can flash the zip file from the recovery console, so it reads from sd without problems.

Finally I tried to cat /proc/last_msg as suggested on a 404 Faq from the recovery console, but that file does not exist. I do not know what else to do :(
[G1 Android Development] xtony12:
i been trying to install this ROM ever since it was released i try every single day to see if that day i get lucky i have read posts after posts for solutions and nothing =( when i flash this rom my phone hangs on the android screen i fixed the perms and upgraded to ext3 and still nothing sometimes when i flash the rom it boots up to a blank screen can anyone help me pleaseeeeee:(
[G1 Android Development] davehasninjas:
Have you tried clearing the dalvik cache or re-partitioning the card maybe?
[G1 Android Development] xtony12:
yeah i repartitioned the card and i bought a new one too lol and nothing =/ but i haven't cleared the dalvik-cache im not sure how to do that
[G1 Android Development] davehasninjas:
The only reason you would need to clear the dalvik-cache is if you didnt re-partition before installing 4.1.999, but if you did that, then there shouldnt be any leftovers from the old ROM you were using on your partition. To clear the dalvik-cache though, boot into recovery, enter console and try:

mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
rm -r /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*

After that, try wiping, then reflashing

EDIT: maybe fix permissions after all that as well? Just a thought though
[G1 Android Development] xtony12:
just tried again and nothing still =( what exactly am i supposed to have in order to run this rom? i currently have radio > 2.22.19.26I | SPL > Danger SPL | Recovery 1.4
[G1 Android Development] alex_time:
Come on man, am I the only one on the world having this problem?
[G1 Android Development] davehasninjas:
Hmm, im running the same stuff and am having no issues with 4.1.999
[G1 Android Development] xtony12:
eh im about to just give up =/ maybe ill try it again when the next release is out im just DYING to run cm 1.6 on my phone =( but thank you for helping out
[G1 Android Development] davehasninjas:
No problem man, idk, the only thing i can think of at this point would to be to wipe, redo all your partitions through recovery then reflash the htc update then 4.1.999
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:

[G1 Android Development] digitallysick:
Its possible you did not flash the radio/spl in the correct order?

1. format sd card, I use ext4

2. place the cm mod , spl and radio on your sd

3. reboot, wipe, install the radio, then, install the spl (you might have to reboot after each)

4. then install the cmupdate, download from here (its all in 1 package) http://www.mediafire.com/?ymoxgmfjnm2

Judging by the number of posts in this thread, you're apparently not alone.

You're trying to cat the wrong file.. It's not last_msg, but last_kmsg

[G1 Android Development] xtony12:
i got it running i found a thread for the 4.1.999 on hese that it only requires one flash because the person merged all files into one and i flashed it and now its running great! THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP:)

Power control widget

Is there any way the power control widget could include 2G/3G switching. It is one of the things you cannot (normally) do in one click but it would be great if it was added to the power widget so, like GPS, it could be toggled with one click.

Switching off 3G is a great battery saver and I use it a lot
[G1 Android Development] brummiesteven:
This rom was terribly slow for me (99 and 999)

Have no Idea why, with both roms i tried completely erasing and reformating the SD card (including the FAT32 partition) with no luck. Apps would take around 30 seconds to load, come up with an error and then work for a few seconds before blacking out and loading again.

Am going back to 4.1.11.1 but is there anyone else with the problem of it being slow?
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
:eek: Are you serious? Searching this thread for "slow" gives you > 100 hits, "slowness" > 20.

In short: If you have an ext2 partition for a2sd, upgrade to ext3 or ext4

/Mats
[G1 Android Development] brummiesteven:
Lmao I feel like a total idiot now... I just flashed back to 4.1.11.1

Will formating to EXT3/4 definately solve the problem? Or is it a 50/50 kinda fix (ie works for some and not others)
[G1 Android Development] 3Shirts:
It may not completely solve your speed issues but it will definately help. What class is your SD card?
[G1 Android Development] s15274n:
So, I have RA's image and wiped all 3 options given to wipe. Flashed the legal way as described by cyanogen. I was surprised all of my pics and the audio files were still on the phone? I thought after wiping/flashing the ROM these would be lost? Why are the audio files up here again if when flashed they are still on the phone? I realize this should not be here but then again, there are tons of posts that don't belong here so my apologies for following the norm.
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Don't know, as I've been using ext4 since day 1, but judging from others experiences here in this thread, the phone goes from "unusable" to "lightning speed" for most.

/Mats
[G1 Android Development] NeoBlade:
Most likely your media was saved on the SD card and thus they don't get wiped when doing a factory reset/wipe. No harm in having the files there of course!

As for the EXT3/4 thing, it does seem to be the way that the ROM is optimised for EXT3 at least. I've read many people complaining about the speed of the ROM whilst on EXT2.
[G1 Android Development] Haywir3:
My 8 ball says "more than likely".
[G1 Android Development] Haywir3:
The wipe options in the recovery console don't wipe clean your ext partition. If you want to do that you need to launch the console from recovery and type the following:

# mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd

# cd /system/sd

# rm -rf /system/sd/*

# reboot recovery

Once you do this you should wipe your phone as well, and reinstall everything.
[G1 Android Development] daemorok:
Wow... can't believe i missed that, gonna give it a try, thanks :)
[G1 Android Development] alex_time:
Thanks for your tips, yes, wipe is my friend but is also my enemy...it erases all my data before I can make a backup....after all, after searching a lot and spent half day searching for a solution I made a wipe, flashed everything again and now all is fine.

Thank you for your response. When I look for information on how to correct the problem myself, I get overwhelmed with all the info I find. A lot of it is for the G1 which also confuses me. I really appreciate the help offered to me. I read about SPL from the link in your signature and it seems I don't have a Engineering SPL. This is what I see when I boot into FastBoot....

When i choose HBoot Mode, it goes to a new menu and pauses for about 7 seconds then I get the error messages....

Loading.... [SAPPDIAG.zip]

No image!

Loading.... [SAPPDIA2.nbh]

No image or wrong image!

ALSO WITH SAPPDIAG.nbh, SAPPIMG.zip, SAPPIMG.nbh MISSING

So now that I know I have a non engineering spl with security on, what is the next step to flash? Since I lost root in the middle of trying to upgrade to the new CyanogenMod v4.1.999, I'm nervous as to what state my phone is in. With the errors above (SAPPDIAG.zip-SAPPIMG.nbh missing), can I proceed to flashing a new spl like Engineering SPL 1.33.2010? I found the guide to downgrade to DREAIMG.nbh/rc29 but at this point my phone seems to have me locked out of ADB commands and flashrec. I'm hoping the new SPL will allow me to use ADB commands again.

I also lost cm-recovery 1.4 but I can boot into Android system recovery <2e>. When I boot into recovery, I see the recovery menu along with another error.....E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

Also, I did backup before my attempt to upgrade to new CM with nandroid.......nandroid\SH96MP303331\CBDMRS12-20091014-0717\boot.img, cache.img...etc. But I'm not sure how to restore these files or if that is what I should do at this point. I currently have a blank Fat32 SD card in the phone.

Here is the link to my original post again which shows how my phone got this way and where it is at....

I came from 4.0.4, wiped, flashed everything and my phone was terribly slow (had really bad lags). So i deactivated CC, activated linux swap and now it runs fast again. The only thing i cannot fix is that i am not able to activate these rotation animations, no matter what i do.
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
I think, at this point the eng. SPL is your best bet. But be careful what you choose. Once you get that right, boot into it (bootloader). You will be able to flash a new recovery, either CMs or Amon_RAs..either will work. Then, place your nandroid folder back on the sdcard, and restore it from recovery. OR you could manually restore it from bootloader as well (once you have flashed the SPL):

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash userdata data.img

In the same manner, you can flash CMs or Amons recovery from fastboot:

fastboot flash recovery %PATH_TO_RECOVERY%/CM-recovery.img

Occasional problem with CM loads

This has happened to me on several versions. My g1 will work fine for days or even weeks, then suddenly it will no longer get signal (just an X at the top) and start rebooting over and over. I wipe and re-install and it will work again for days to a few weeks.

Is this part of running experimental ROMs or do I have another issue?

Haven't tested exstensively, but I got a phone-call while playing Papi Catch earlier today and silenced it with Volume Down. I then proceeded to resume my Papi Catch game with a push of the back button (to exit the Incoming Call screen). When I exited Papi Catch with the home button, then tried to pull down the notification bar to check my new voicmail, I couldn't. Tried Menu>>Notifications and still nothing. The phone was otherwise responsive (albeit somewhat laggy. Not super-noticeably but somewhat). I was able to check the voicemail via Visual Voicemail (the T-mobile version) Heck, Talk button brought up the dialer so I coulda called my voicemail account that way. Only a reboot brought back the notification bar. Any thoughts?

how do I restore/reinstall original on screen android keyboard?

Mine went missing after upgrading to 4.1.999 coming from 4.0.4 following the instructions to the letter... (I already had ext4 setup and such, all my apps work fine too).
[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
Location Problems anyone?

I have noticed that since 4.1.999 that when I select "My Location" in G-Maps, that with only radio location selected that the location seems to now zoom to a specific cell tower location, instead of triangulating to a more accurate location. With GPS it is fine.

Now, I have only observed this with 4.1.999, the same version of Goggle Maps worked normally under 4.1.99 ! I tried to post this as an issue on the tracker but got shut down as it being an App issue, not ROM related.

The only other possible reason I can think of is my area of Utah just went to 3G service. Is it possibly a problem with 3G cell location?

Thanks for any reports of similar problems, or if you are not seeing this behavior if you are in an Edge only reception area!

[G1 Android Development] bradycl_84043:
I drive every day from Bangerter and 21st S down to Eagle Mountain (UT County, West of Lehi), and I can tell you that since 3G came in I have seen *all* sorts of location wierdness. One day shortly after 3G came online the cell-based location insisted I was just East of San Diego (I wish).

I've been told that this will persist for a few weeks until Google has all of the 3G panels and their lat/lon in their database. It seems to usually triangulate for me at work now, but on occasions driving home I see it lock to the tower.

I'm on 4.1.999 now, but I was on stock cupcake when 3G came online, and have since spent time on 4.0.4, 4.1.11.1 and 4.1.99, and don't believe that what we're seeing is related at all to the ROM or even the phone, but just the database used by Google Maps to connect a tower to a location.
