dude seriously?? It will be out when it is out. Cyanogen has a life outside of XDA, don't bother him with these questions.

Since we are all about asking repetitive questions, when are you going to learn to use the search button and read? when you learn to do that, then you will LEARN how to upgrade to EXT4 yourself :) No tuition required
[G1 Android Development] Pikkuhannu:
Just restore backup? I dont really know, but think this is the right way?
[G1 Android Development] farble1670:
i reformatted ext4 before installing 4.1.9... and i have the same slowness issues everyone is reporting. what you post may have worked for you but it's not a general solution.
[G1 Android Development] agent-5:
Thanks for confirming.
[G1 Android Development] kuroshiro:
Followup - running fix_permissions alone addresses the issue. So the question is what does fix_permissions fix that could cause the phone to bootloop that could happen during shutdown?
[G1 Android Development] tulamidan:
I have problems running the market. I get force closes ever since I flashed 4.1.999 from the previous beta that caused all the google problems. My mistake probably was using "Backup for root users" and restored the market db.

Is there any way to fix this without rewiping?
[G1 Android Development] alvinistic:
It seems that in 4.1.999 the animation is not as fluid when there is popup menu and popup window. Is it due to BFS? I remember it was smooth in 4.1.11.1
[G1 Android Development] Grooby97:
ext4 slowness?

I switch from ext3 to ext4 last night and noticed my phone start lagging after about few minutes of usage. From the last few pages on this thread, seems like there might be an issue with ext4? I am going to re-confirm later today by switch down to EXT3 again.
[G1 Android Development] o2ak:
my search widget doesn't function properly for some reason. when i press it to insert text it just freezes the phone. how do i fix this?
[G1 Android Development] frankencat:
Well unfortunately I followed the instructions and rooted my G1 but I messed up on step 7 and loaded the cm-4.1.99 image first and now my phone hangs on the G1 startup screen. I can get into recovery mode but not sure what to do from there. I used a friend's device to re-format my SDcard (probably a stupid idea) and now I can't get any further. Am I dead or is there a way to get back? Please help! Thanks -Frank

Install instructions for an HTC Dream/ADP1/G1:

1- Perform a Backup......nandroid, etc

2- Download: http://developer.htc.com/adp.html#s3 Android 1.6 Recovery Image. This isn't the type of recovery image we know. It's HTCs version of an update.zip

3- Download my ROM. Posted Below

4- Mount your phone and place BOTH 1.6 Image and my ROM on your SD Card.

5- Reboot into recovery mode *Home+Power*

6- WIPE!!!! This will allow google apps to function, correctly.

7- Apply sdcard:choose zip *PICK dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip* from the list

ALLOW IT TO INSTALL FIRST.....you will see the "unbox" image.........then it will automatically reboot HOLD HOME button while it reboots.

8- Apply sdcard:choose zip *Pick cm-4.1.99-signed.zip* from the list.

9- Reboot!
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
If you can get into recovery, just start over (wipe, install HTC update, install CM update)

[G1 Android Development] frankencat:
When I do it never gets past the G1 boot screen, it just hangs there.
[G1 Android Development] frankencat:
Man this SUCKS!!! Please help if you can. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] cojonesx:
when you do what? According to your previous post you could get into recovery. Give us some specifics about what you have done and what you are seeing now.
[G1 Android Development] frankencat:
Sorry, I am a newb at this so bear with me please. :)

I can get into the "update" screen by pressing HOME+POWER and I can get into the white "skateboard" screen by pressing CAMERA+POWER when it powers up. In each case it hangs on the G1 boot screen and I have to remove the battery to get it to reboot.
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
" it hangs on the G1 boot screen" - after you've done what?

If you can get into recovery and have both the HTC update and CM update on your SD card, just do step 6-9 and you should be fine. no need for fastboot (skateboard screen)

/Mats
[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
Sorry

Thats why I advise everyone (see my signature) to put their configuration in the signature block, so we know these things.

I apologize for being short with you.

Are you running any themes? I am running a "clean" 4.1.999 that I upgraded from 4.1.99 with no themes and I don't run many (if at all) widgets. I do use a custom userinit.sh and user.conf that I can send you if you PM me, maybe that is the trick?
[G1 Android Development] frankencat:
I formatted the sdcard so now I have nothing on it and no way to get the files to it. If I could get the phone booted and the sdcard mounted I could just copy the correct ROM on there and re-flash...at least I think so. Problem is, I can;t get the phone to boot up.
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Of course you have. Either using a SD card reader and your computer, or by again borrowing your friends device.

Another way is to boot into recovery, drop to shell, mount the SD card (mount /sdcard) and pushing the update zips with ADB But until you have those update zips on your sd card, you're dead in the water.

/Mats
[G1 Android Development] P_Dub_S:
go to recovery select console hit enter

type in ums_enable this will mount your SD card for your pc

move the 1.6 ADB and cyanogen roms into your sdcard safely remove it from your pc

On your phone then type ums_disable then type reboot

while the phone is rebooting hold the home button to get back into recovery and follow steps 6 and on
[G1 Android Development] frankencat:
Please tell me how to do this. I do not see anyplace to select console. If I do alt+l I only get 3 options alt+l, alt+s and alt+w. Am I in the wrong screen? Like I said I am a newb at this but I am not a techie newb. Thanks for the help.
[G1 Android Development] P_Dub_S:
Looks like you didn't flash cyanogens recovery image which adds many needed options and gives root access. You needed to follow the how to get root guide first before flashing any custom rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=442480 and checkout Cyanogens recovery image http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=523558
[G1 Android Development] frankencat:
I did exactly as he posted. I just messed up by loading the wrong ROM.
[G1 Android Development] P_Dub_S:
I understand that but his guide is already assumed you have root access and his custom recovery image and more than likely one of his previous roms.
[G1 Android Development] frankencat:
ok well that sucks hard. so is there a way to gain access to the SD card or get the phone to boot now that I am here?
[G1 Android Development] P_Dub_S:
take out your sd card put it in your adapter then stick it in a sdcard reader connected to a pc

CyanogenMod

I did everything in the first thread for the mod and it wasn't working. For me to get it to work I had to reformat and repartition the sd card before installing the recovery img and rom. Cyanogen keep it up, you are doing a great job!
[G1 Android Development] frankencat:
Please go back and read my posts. I do not have a card reader or I wouldn't be posting this. Can someone post some helpful info for me? Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] farble1670:
thanks for your response. before i post anything else, i noticed you are not running swap. after trying cc + swap, then just swap, i've been testing no cc / no swap for the past few hours. i can tentatively say that it seems better. i noticed that when the phone was lagging that almost all of my swap was in use even though i had no background tasks.

so, in the meantime, folks that are having slowness problems might want to try out. disable swap (/ cc?). easy and reversible. i need another 24 hours of use to truly say if this is a solution.

i always thought the whole idea of running swap was questionable. if the phone ever got into a state where it was actually actively swapping, it would grind to a halt considering the speed of SD cards. i am not sure people realize just how slow they are. if memory gets low, android has its own mechanisms for dealing.
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
So I think I found an answer to my dilemma, and it was easier than I thought. If only I knew where to look! Here it is, for posterity (and anyone with enough tenacity to find it here):

I found that fastboot tool in the Android SDK package. Comes in handy when you have *ahem* an HTC ADP1 phone image *cough* and need to erase and reflash a recovery (what /we/ call recovery) image, such as Cyanogen's pimped out recovery.

1. Download and save recovery-cm-1.4.img somewhere

2. Boot phone to HBOOT/Fastboot mode (camera button while powerup)

3. Open terminal/command prompt in the Android SDK tools folder

4. Run the following:

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery-cm-1.4.img

5. Reboot the phone again, this time into recovery (home button while powerup)

6. Flash Cyan's update.

Still need to verify if I have root now [edit: looks like I do! We're Back in Business!] and I'm out of time (have to leave work now) but this appears to have worked for me...

Thanks again Cyanogen!
[G1 Android Development] frankencat:
YES! Got it back using FASTBOOT :)
[G1 Android Development] frankencat:
CyanogenMod v4.1.999 booting up as I type this.....Thanks all.

universal cyanogenmod

hi,

i can't help but wonder why not using this mod as a universal mod for 32a as well?

cyanogen, you can create the 2 boot images and 2 wlan.ko, and then in the update script use can decided which one to use (by renaming and deleting the other)

(i _don't_ have 32a, i have 32b and i'm using this great rom!)

Ok, so i did a fresh install of 4.1.999, freshly formatted Ext3. Installed all 50 something of my apps fresh from the market instead of restoring apk's. everything was fine for about a day, now only PAID apps are showing up in my market?!?! all the apps are installed and working, but no show in Market. what gives?

[G1 Android Development] kusotare:
You, sir, are an idiot. There are hundreds of people who have this rom installed perfectly fine. If you cant seem to duplicate positive results, its because your problem exists between your keyboard and chair. You have one post, and you used it to flame a developer. Go crawl back under your rock.
[G1 Android Development] lazinase:
Then just don't use it and flash your phone with whatever you like.

Dude, if you think this is easy how about you make a perfect, super-fast rom by yourself?
[G1 Android Development] Grooby97:
just a quick update regarding my EXT4 partition. After tweaking my user.conf, my system is now much more responsive. I think bad configuration in user.conf might have more to contribute to the bad performance than ext3 or ext4 partition.
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
You are an idiot and the community will be better off without you and people like you, if you aren't capable of installing the ROM correctly then you shouldn't be running it in the first place.
[G1 Android Development] Mr.Jigolo:
not sure. all i did was wipe and install the 2 zip files. what am i supposed to do? i don't recall creating an EXT4 partition. i just created an EXT2 partition long time ago, after i rooted the phone. but i currently have cyanogen v4.1.11.1
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
Wipe your ext partition search the forums if your aren't sure how to do so there's various methods
[G1 Android Development] Mr.Jigolo:
i looked it up. one says to use lucid rem market app to do so. would that work on cyanogen's rom? also, once i remove that ext2 partition, am i not gonna lose all my apps since they're running off of the sd card? and last, can i use a software like paragon's partition manager and change my ext2 to an ext4 partition?
[G1 Android Development] AustinKnight45:
See this is what I meant by it's not the rom but the flasher.......ounce again use GParted from this program called ...........wait for it.................http://www.ubuntu.com/ and reformat your ext2 or ext4 to a ext3 and your swap partition as well.
[G1 Android Development] c_licious:
Well you must be doing something wrong cause its working perfectly fine for me???!
[G1 Android Development] c_licious:
You could do it with paragon but I found this method easy and quick. And yes, you will loose all your apps but the post will tell you how to back up everything on your ext.

ext4 works just fine. The reports are that ext2 is causing slowness with the latest release.
[G1 Android Development] AustinKnight45:
And others say that ext4 slows down after awhile...EXT2 is definitely slowing down the rom to a crawl.
[G1 Android Development] foxtrickle:
I've been running ext4 for a few days now... no slowness.
[G1 Android Development] zerolgk5:
slowdown

had some extreme lag coming over from 4.1.11(?), and couldn't figure it out. finally, running upgrade_fs from terminal in recovery seems to have cleared it up.

blazing fast now. thank kevin from the simplehelp board if this helps you.
[G1 Android Development] fudd:
I've been running ext4 for quite awhile now (since before the nines) and have not had any problems. I know I'm not alone here.
[G1 Android Development] AustinKnight45:
I've read it here somewhere, if it aint broke don't fix it, I was going to format mine to ext4 but just didn't.
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
Same here and to be honest I can't believe the number of people claiming problems caused by going from one version to the other, or at least between 3 and 4.

All versions of the ext file system are forward and backward compatible with each other and anyone reporting major speed increases when going from one version to the other is most likely simply seeing the result of formatting the partition as they should have before upgrading. The speed differences between ext 3 and ext 4 are extremely marginal if in fact any at all when using such a small partition on an SD card rather than hard drive.
[G1 Android Development] Mikey:
Wow 11 months with XDA and this is your first post??

That's not the issue or problem.

My problem is I don't like any merit user to Flame/talk down/be-little another user or his/her work.

Now we can fix this problem, one or two ways.

One, is to apologize to the Cooker and the community

or

Two, upload your rom, so we can all see how good yours is :)

BTW if you are unable to accomplish #2 then i HIGHLY suggest keeping your RUDE comments to yourself and move onto the next rom.

Eventually you will find one you'll like or just simply go back to T-Mobiles official rom.

That said, you have a pretty easy option..........Show RESPECT, that's all we ask for.

[G1 Android Development] |Logic|:
agreed, no slowdown with ext4 for me. if you have BKMOd of the RA recovery upgrading to ext4 is really really quick, if you don't just do it the old fashioned way i guess, right? :o
[G1 Android Development] Zoide_:
I *think* that we might be able to bypass that error by modifying the ro.build.product line inside build.prop in the HTC .zip file. I wonder what the correct string is for a MT3G?

Anyone brave enough to try that out?
[G1 Android Development] jokersax11:
ok im going to make this easier as i even got confused when i read it

ONLY DO THIS IF YOU LOST YOUR RECOVERY/ROOT

first put the	signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip recovery image on the sdcard and rename it update.zip

boot into recovery even if its the triangle hit alt+l then update.zip like normal.

follow the instructions and let it reboot

next boot into fastboot hold camera+home+power

go to fastboot mode. plug into computer

pull up terminal and cd till you get to the tools part of the sdk and make sure you have the fastboot tool if not google it or search. very easy to find.

put cyanogen recovery in same folder as sdk tools

type

fastboot erase recovery

press enter

type

fastboot flash recovery cm-recovery-1.4.img

press enter

reboot into recovery

jump up and down and take a shot then flash cyanogens latest
[G1 Android Development] Skuggi:
Well, i flashed the 1.6, then it went into formatting cache right after the update and reboot. now I'm stuck on the android screen. I've tried getting into the recovery mode and I have the triangle with the exclamation point and the little android device.

1) download android 1.6 "recovery image" from htc (make sure it is the ota, not img file), and copy it to sd

2) download cyan's 4.1.99 rom and copy it to sd

3) "Home + Power", reboot into "recovery mode" (i use RA_Recovery 1.2.2 modded by BKMO)

4) flash the htc "recovery image"

5) no-reboot, flash the 4.1.99 rom

6) reboot, an "unbox" icon shown

6) scripts were automatically run, and system automatically rebooted to "recovery mode"

7) no-wipe, reboot

8) take a few minutes to boot into normal phone screen

9) everything, including home, sms, apps, settings are there... :)

Settings -> About Phone

Model number: Android Dev Phone 1

Fireware version: 1.6

Kernel version: 2.6.29.6-cm42 shade@toxygene )

Mod version: cyangenMod-4.1.99

Build number: DRC83

Let me see if everything go smooth later on....

Note: HTC call their OTA Image Packages "Recovery Image". Do not confuse with Cyan's 1.4 Recovery Image which runs in "Recovery Mode".

**********************

I just found the market does not work. Here is how I fix it...

- delete packages.xml from /data/system

- reboot the phone, so that the packages.xml is recreated during the boot

- run fix_permisions.

Hope it helps others...

Thanks for the great work Cyanogen! :D Looking forward to more great things to come.

I'm a bit of a noob myself, but it was actually really simple flashing the new ROM and it works extremely well. Here's how I did it, upgrading from 4.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 ;)

-Download both Cy's newest ROM and 1.6 "Recovery Image" from HTC

-Place both on SD card, rename the "Recovery Image" update.zip

-Boot into recovery

-Wipe

-Flash update.zip (phone will boot back into recovery)

-Flash Cyanogen's ROM (phone will boot back into recovery again)

-Reboot and complete setup

Enjoy what is with out a doubt THE best ROM for Android.
