Okay, I have been having a huge problem with the newer revisions of CM. I currently run 4.2.11.1 and I have noticed than since 4.2.6 that the Facebook application is not working. I dont know if 4.2.6 had it built in, but when I updated to 4.2.7 it was installed and showing in Application manager, but not able to run, uninstall or reinstall. Now, when I updated to 4.2.8, it completely disappeared and was showing in the market as available to download. Since 4.2.8, everytime I try to install it from the market, I get Incompatible Update and it never installs. I even tried to install it from ADB with no success. For the record, I hated the Facebook app that came with 4.2.6 as it performed sluggish and it looked cheap and unfinished. Where is my Facebook app? I cannot upload my mobile photos from the browser FB page. I figured I'd ask and if it has been answered before on this thread, someone can point me to the posting number as I am not about to sift through 700+ pages and another 30 pages of search results for FB not working that do not pertain to my issue or firmware version. I love the CM FW because it makes the G1 run how it should, but this one thing completely bugs the sh!t outta me.

Here are my system specs:

Retail T-Mobile G1 32B

Radio Ver: 2.22.19.26I

FW: CyanogenMod 4.2.11.1

I'm pretty sure (=quite certain) CM has never included any Facebook app.

[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
I have an answer for you. This isn't a CM problem in any way, shape or form.

Editorial: And seriously...Is an issue with Facebook not working really a HUGE problem for you?
[G1 Android Development] brfsa:
I have the exact same problem.

The IM application keeps on running on the background and even I stop it, it comes back.

I cannot see it the Launcher.

This IM app started showing up after upgrading from 4.2.9 to 4.2.11.1

Also after I booted, the amazonMP3 app was running.

Anyone knows how to remove those 2 apps ??

Thanks

;)

BTW. 4.2.11.1 is really fast. plus the 10MB hack, wonderful. :D
[G1 Android Development] Setnev:
If it is not a CM problem, then what is it? I never had a problem with Facebook until the newer CM versions starting with 4.2.7.1. It seems I am not the only person with Facebook issues from the market. Others, I see, have had problems with it too but their issues were never addressed.

Well, what is a huge problem for me may not be to you, but for the sake of saying that the phone has no issues other than that, yes I would say it is an issue, considering that every other application I throw at the G1 works fine with no issues at all. I had a problem with Maps back at 4.2.7, but nothing that wasnt fixed with reflashing the CM update. I deal business with Facebook and need to keep it updated and have it alert me on the go, which cannot be done from the browser, so to answer, Yes it can be a huge issue at times.

gmail force close

I know, I know, I know. Steve doesn't do anything with the Google proprietary apps in his mods, but something has happened in the last few builds for me where I can't get my gmail app to open. I constantly get a "The application Gmail (process com.google.android.gm) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" message that we are all familiar with. I have wiped, I have reformatted, I have flashed the new defanged root, cleared all data and caches, fix permissions, etc. I know it's with these recent few builds, because I reverted back to a nandroid backup and had my gmail. I have no themes, or anything else crazy installed on top of the mod, but am just wondering why it won't work.

On a side note, anyone who uses an fm transmitter in your car with your phone, do you know of a way to make it possible to make a phone call while using a device.....just throwing that out there.

Thanks in advance for any help with this issue (gmail). I know the fm transmitter is random but I just got it as a gift for Christmas and want it to work or I'm going to send it back.

4.2.3.1 was great batttery-wise for me. 4.2.10.1 was, too, but I was only on it for a few hours. 4.2.11.1 is meh. I'm not getting the sleep-mode savings I was getting on some of the good battery users, which means it dives pretty fast over a day if I'm not using it much. Subjectively speaking, t's not nearly as good as 4.2.5-4.2.8 (I wasn't on .9 long enough to tell).

I hope the data helps. I pretty much flashed about 1-2 days after release, if you're wondering about dates on the files.
[G1 Android Development] sleepykit:
Well, I was running 4.2.9.1 and Facebook app from the Market was working fine. Now I have 4.2.11.1 and no problems here either, from what I can tell.

Perhaps try the fix_permissions via terminal to see if it helps any?
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
Your cute little theme added the Facebook widget, not Cyan. Your complaint is with the theme author that included the Facebook widget with their theme or the Facebook widget author.
[G1 Android Development] naguz:
I did a reinstall, but for future reference, is it possible to wipe just the browser data if I do something like this again? :P

I find Backup for Roor Users quite a good app if you delete everything except the contents of the sd folder. That way you can only restore the apks and app data of the installed programs (not the system ones) that was installed in your system before the wipe. I have never had problems when doing it this way (followed by a fix_permissions to be sure)

This way I don't have to reenter my feeds and other acast settings, an the same for numerous other apps. Also, I don't loose my progress in games (:P)

i have an issue with the latest version...haven`t testet it on other versions, but itz really tricky...

everytime i push the "menu" button in the photogalery the g1 freezes and i have to put out the batterie...

someone else got the issue ??

I dont even have the Facebook application to get the Facebook widget. So the widget is not my issue. I am not running any custom themes on CM anyways.

I will try that today when I get home from work and post my results.

headset bug

I've been experiencing a really annoying issue since .7 where my USB-stereo adapter keeps recognizing my headphones as a stereo headset, and it starts playing and pausing Music on random. It's highly annoying, and I'd really like to see it either fixed, or a way to disable the headset audio controls somewhere.

My Facebook app runs fine on 4.2.9.1 also, I haven't had an issue with Facebook on any CM rom. I'd format and reinstall the rom from scratch.
[G1 Android Development] sleepykit:
Also found a few suggestions:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Problems_after_reinstall

and also: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Troubleshooting

I'm not sure they'll help but it's worth a shot. Depending on how vital it is that Facebook works, you might also try starting fresh with a wipe, but that just seems too extreme for one broken app.

Not android-savvy enough to know how, but there has to be a way of telling your phone that the FB app doesn't exist on your phone anymore.

I agree janis ... i can't get a full day usage out this phone ... if i don't use it and its off the charger at 7am by 4pm its in the red ...

also i noticed as mentioned above the im running in the background ..although cyan got rid of the app ...

only thing i could think of is in system app there is a apk called... im provider apk ....

as also mentioned above does this have anything to do with gtalk .. or is a left over from the im apk cyan took out ... ?
[G1 Android Development] Babaki:
no sorry. and it wont work on a Hero either. It will really only work on the G1 or the My Touch3g.
[G1 Android Development] samsci:
I have had my MT3G since they released it at Tmobile. I am on 4.2.11.1 currently and if I do not use it, the battery stays charged all day without any issues. I live in Atlanta and have flown to California (LA), drivent to Santa Monica, checked in to hotel, and 4 hours later checked the phone and it was still above 50%.

Now, if I do use it, the battery drops rapidly. I can go from 98% to 70% in less than hr and down to 40% in 2.5. But in standby mode, it stays pretty solid.

Gtalk problem

I know, since I've flashed a theme, my warranty is void. I'll lose the theme if someone can help me figure this out. This has only been since I flashed CM 4.2.11.1.

Heavy Power Consumption

Ok, so I know for a fact that something is up with this latest release. I'm draining power with my phone completely idol while plugged in and charging via USB. Every time I check (about every 5 minutes) the battery level DECREASES 1%.
[G1 Android Development] wagz:
Facebook stopped working for me a few versions back. For some reason every time I upgrade CM facebook disappears. So to get it working again, try this, it works for me. download a copy of the facebook apk to your sdcard and then drop to shell. then copy the file from the sdcard into /system/app. In order to copy stuff to that directory, you will have to do a mount -o remount,rw /system

Once I do that, facebook always comes back to life with no problems. I got tired of doing it and just moved to using Bloo(select the beta, it's far ahead of the regular version) from the app market.

My thoughts about this flashing stuff

Hi everyone!

I really admire the hard work with this rom, it is totally awesome that even we have an updater app that automatically notifies you newer versions.

I mean, it is wonderful compared to the carrier officially outdated and capped rom, but in the other hand if we analize the latest versions we have in 4.2.8 a ringtone calling bug that freezes the terminal to a point that I had to remove the battery and restart everything. (very very nasty) and in 4.2.10 we have the ext2 unsupported bug.

So, cyano you're my android god, sometimes I think you never rest late at night coding and improving your rom, and your website is cool as well, dont take me wrong on this but maybe you should consider waiting a bit longer among updates because this things drive crazy a newbie or a casual flasher.

I mean, I just expect that my phone works, all the extra stuff in your rom is celestial but sometimes would be convenient if we dont know about the changes just to prolonge the unstable branch (for example releasing an stable and tested version every month I think is fair enough and the probability of unexpected bugs is very lower than releasing almost every week).

What do you think guys?

anyway, thank you very much for your time, as I said you're #1, only that the ext2 scared me a lot and I was screwed because I had to wipe my card.

I'm using now Amon_RA rom,is fast and simple, understand that I just wanted root and some goodies, you're hard to catch man!

Is there a "guide" to things its safe to remove in Cyanogen Roms?

You can easily remove them with ADB. Just make sure you CAN remove it safely so you don't screw something else up that uses that certain file.

adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/app-to-remove.apk

I need to Sync my G1 with PC for Contacts and Calendar.

I like the simplicity of the basic G1 interface but want to have the Hero Sync.

Just a idea.

Can we some how use a G1 rom with Hero framework just to sync .

Is that possible ??

If that is done G1 will be of much more use for me. Because sync is one of the most important feature i will like to have. on the other hand i know i can use Hero rom on G1 but that in itself is a tedious thing with all the lag.

Please Cyan suggest ?

[G1 Android Development] BrooklynAvi:
From Cyanogen's FAQs:

"15. I have problems with force closes and have to reinstall my apps after a no-wipe upgrade!

Run the "permission fixer" script. It is included in this build as well as Recovery 1.2+. Just execute "fix_permissions" from a terminal or the recovery console and reboot. IF YOU HAD A THEME INSTALLED AND UPGRADED AND NOW GET FORCE CLOSES- just reflash your theme after upgrading, this will get rid of any issues. If you had a previous ROM installed that copied stuff to your SD card (like most of the Hero ROMs), you'll need to clean that out."
[G1 Android Development] josepz:
I format SDcard Ext2, then installed as the instructions, (wipe,HTC rom,reboot,wipe, and 4.1.999, then some reboots) and all seems work but very sloooow...

It need a lot of time to start every time I reboot, maybe 5-8 minutes, and setup, apps, etc needs maybe 1 minute to start... at times I get forcecloses for not responding, but if I press wait, the app finally start...even auto-rotate needs 20-30 seconds to do it..

I reformat and reinstall again, but is the same. I had 4.0.4.

Anyone with the problem? How you fixed?

Could be this the problem?

May I wait until it ends?

Like I said, that is going from memory.

999 is a good release for me, everything just works. I did have one phone reboot yesterday when I was browsing the market but nothing else since.

It's fast but I realised my SD card was in fact a class 2 instead of a class 6, Vodafone sent me 2x4GB for free so I assume they sent class2 to cut corners :p

Is there a major difference between class 2 and 6 in these custom roms?

I am using an EXT4 partition btw with 32mb swap.

If run the permissions fixer, but the problem is still alive.

Can anyone help?

[G1 Android Development] Androidandy:
I once had problems with installing a new Rom. I found the simpliest method was to reformat my SD card, re-partition the ext partition. Wipe the phone Alt w. This then solved the weird problems I had.

If your phone doesnt work properly, then reformat the SD,wipe the phone and do a fresh install..

I did this yesterday. It looked good first, but after some downloading from the market, the app stopped, I could not even close it. After reboot, I used it again for a while then another stop. Did anyone else experience this?

Also I don't see any comments in the market apps.

Perhaps there is a fix in the latest version 4.1.999?

If I update, can I do it directly from 4.1.99, or need another HTC ROM flash?

Noob questions

Hi!

Sorry for noob questions, please forgive my ignorance... I came from winmo world:)

I went through all the infos regarding rom update on android but a bit confused.

It seemed to me that rooting is required for flashing custom rom, but on Cyanogen's site there is'nt a single word about it but refers to flashing to CM recovery image as rooting: http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/09/21/the-complete-step-by-step-guide-to-rooting-your-android-phone/

So my noob question is that flasing to CM recovery is enough to make my g1 rooted? If yes that's a fortune for me becase rooting seemed rather complacated so far.

Noob question #2: Is there swapping in this rom (4.1.999)?

Not-so-noob question: is this bug fixed in this release?

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] vlcchan:
4.1.999 still very buggy to me.

i've it for 2 days

3 times FC on home, and then home screen remain black.(reboot then)

2 times no wake up. the led of my button do light up but screen remain black.(hard reboot needed)
[G1 Android Development] raziel200:
been running this thing for a couple of days now. giving it heavy use and light use throughout both days. the lag is still there sometimes, and yes i've tried wiping it everything usually shows up after its been sleeping for a couple of hours, speaking of which i got a phone call while the phone was asleep and the phone app crashed while the phone was trying to wake up i'm sure it was due to lag.

this rom is super fast and i'm sure once a stable version shows up everyone will be very happy with it, but i'm rolling back to 4.0.4 until then because it is my main phone and need it to work all the time, keep up the good work cyanogen!

I fully agree as I firmly believe that there are at least two types of "rooters". Those who do it for the sake of playing with something new and those who just want to "fix" shortcomings (like running apps from µSD, etc.).

This being said, I just read a Twitter post from Cyanogen where he stated: "Working on the experimental branch..". I hope that this means that he will keep a "stable branch" with less frequent updates while offering tinkerers access to the "experimental branch".
