Method: wipe, Flash a stock adp 1.6 recovery, flash cyanogenmod

Using only fat32/ext4

---edit---

The worst part is this: This version is so good, it's so much better than anything out there, that it's a shame it's bugged. I know it'll be fixed, steve's good at breaking and fixing, but after this build I can't go back to anything else. All I needed was the eclair browser on 1.6, everything else is just superficial.
[G1 Android Development] metallicant:
Working perfectly here with no wipe, just updated. Thank you once again Cyanogen. Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!

Happy Holidays All!!!!

Just think in a few weeks we all might be in here with our N1's waiting for Cyan too obtain Root Access!!!!

Tis the season to be jolly!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4.2.10.1 is working fine for me :D. Lol @Sound Recorder app
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
If you're having slowness and are using ext2 for your apps2sd, get this file and flash it (flash_image boot xxx):

http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/testing/boot-extfix.img

You might also need to wipe dalvik-cache.
[G1 Android Development] psguardian:
lol I'm with you reg442 (joined the crowd later circa 4.2.2) I am still running 4.2.6 because it does everything I need & that I'm waiting for the most recent release to stabilize. on your quandary though I think my post from earlier (probly 30 pages ago now) covers the "why" behind your flawless experiences vs many other posters who have had issues. Since many of us who have a smooth install/update process don't post, these releases get more neg response (percentage wise in the thread) then they deserve. those of us who sit back & silently enjoy our successful update got the mobo's that graduated at the top of their production batch I think (see below)
[G1 Android Development] cdw9800:
so

i wiped and got it running at normal speed but the power control does not work can anyone else test it?
[G1 Android Development] idbl_fanatic:
Works for me
[G1 Android Development] zelipukin:
no issues since 4.0.4

everything seems works for me

no wipes since 4.0.4 actually from the time I bought my G-1

and understood next hour that the factory ROM is POS

thanks to guy who put modified cm 4.1.999 w. google apps

fast esp. w. my new Transcend 8GB Micro SDHC Flash Card Model TS8GUSDHC6 -~$22 from newegg.com
[G1 Android Development] Zei:
Just gonna revert back to what I had...or maybe even an older nandroid backup to 4.2.5 which i had no problems with at all. Guess ill just push the new browser.apk and all the other tweaks I had and see what happens.
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
music player does not recognize some music

Coming from a fresh wipe into 4.2.10.1, the music player (still) will not recognize some of the music on my sd. It was fine until 4.2.9, when some of the artist names appeared with an asain looking symbol next to it. I can find/play these files using astro but not all of em show up in the music app. Any ideas?

Reverting back to any version before 4.2.9 fixes this issue.

All stable and lightening fast otherwise.

Thank u all for your continuous input.
[G1 Android Development] vincom2:
Everything seems to be working fine for me. Only one thing so far - cyanogen tweeted that this release would keep us signed into gtalk, yet I'm having gmail sync problems again. Has 4.2.10 fixed gmail sync for others?

Haven't been able to test missed smses yet (which was another fix I was looking forward to; let's hope it works)
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
That app has always been there, it just wouldn't show at the launcher, you'd bring it up at SMS/record sound.

I always enable it on my builds. Wish it would record when the phone is off though. Been using tokasiki's voice recorder instead, but it's so ridden with force-closes and errors. I wish there was a better app.

Anyway, back on topic.

Cyanogen, will the backported browser work in a stock ADP 1.6 build? What do I need (I'm guessing libwebcore and browser ofcourse, but isn't webkit tied too to some frameworks?).

Also, how did you go about backporting? Did you actually go through the code and add the new parts in 2.0 to the 1.6 browser or just build the browser 2 on top of the 1.6 system?

I'm working on adding the 2.0 browser features to 1.6 myself (since all other apps are pretty much the same except for a few graphical changes) and if it's something as simple as taking the 2.0 browser code and building it in a donut environment, well, that'd save me a lot of work.
[G1 Android Development] JRW160:
no wipe here and everything seems fine for the most part. Overall seems much faster than previous roms. Browser has force closed a couple of times, but it's so much better that it is worth it. Imho bestperformance gain in a rom in a long time.
[G1 Android Development] Goten310:
Alright I take my statement back, it was fine and smooth the first boot.... seemed sluggish so I gave it a reboot and now it is stuck on the Android boot screen :( I'll give it a few more minutes, if not, reverting back to previous build.
[G1 Android Development] oreoOozZz:
Just flashed with no problems coming from CM 4.2.9.1 With the Enoch theme also. Always do the same thing and always never have any problems. Nandroid backup, flash new CM zip, go into console, fix_permissions then reboot. Eclair browser is awesome, thanks again CM for all the hard work. If i might say, this release seems alot quicker too for some reason.
[G1 Android Development] schmickers:
Installed via CM CM updater. Awesome improvement over last version - its ironed out a lot of the niggly problems I've been having with my G1.

A couple of things I've noticed - I still occasionally get FCs with the browsaer, although the 2.0 browser is a huge improvement over the last one. But text entry into forms is slll-ooo-www and really lags behind keypresses. Also, if I load a page, long-press the home key to multi-task to a different app, and then multi-task back, it seems to reload the page from scratch. I don't think I have ever seen it keep a page in cache once. Is this by design?
[G1 Android Development] roadrunnerx7:
what can i do to make the new browser work? its the only part of the new rom thats not working for me =/
[G1 Android Development] codito:
Thanks for the quick fix, totally fixed it! You should update the guide on your wiki for setting up app2sd, it still says to use ext2.
[G1 Android Development] igloo77055:
I can't remember the last time I wiped, so it really doesn't matter unless after you flash it you're getting FCs
[G1 Android Development] fugita:
Steve can you put up some instructions on what we need to do with the .IMG file? Am I just going to flash it from the root screen? Do I need to wipe first, sorry just not sure and I don't want to mess up anything since 4.2.9.1 is working great.
[G1 Android Development] karthikjr:
The Eclair Browser is actually on steroids.

Blazing fast.

In agreement.
[G1 Android Development] mmayhew:
The "boot fix-ext" .img fixed the slowness and hanging but the Browser still force closes. I also wiped dalvik-cache.

EDIT: Cleared Browser data and the browser works now. SWEET!
[G1 Android Development] prophetjinn:
Not sure if this is happening with others but after flashing, when i go to my downloads and press back key to go back to web page within browser, it FC on me. I'm going to reflash to see if it fixes it.

Anyone else getting this issue?
[G1 Android Development] cboy007:
the fix cyanogen was talking about. follow these instructions:

copy boot-extfix.img to your sdcard. then eject it from computer and turn off sharing on phone.

open up cmd and navigate to folder then adb shell as usual.

then: flash_image boot /sdcard/boot-extfix.img

done!
[G1 Android Development] fugita:
What if you don't use adb what other method can be used to flash this image file? Can it be flashed like the ROMs are flashed?
[G1 Android Development] Estyle:
so far so good..no issues at all.. very smooth very fast.. comes from 4.291 with wipe dalvik-cache.. using ext4.. only got one question why IM is still running in the progesses?
[G1 Android Development] Estyle:
also. you could use terminal

su

flash_image boot /sdcard/boot-extfix.img

reboot
[G1 Android Development] vincom2:
Use terminal emulator. Or recovery console would work too I guess.

Or set up adb; adb is good.
[G1 Android Development] mark925:
Open a telnet session with root access

Working perfectly here with no wipe, just updated over the last build. Why are you all trying to wipe then flash? It worked for me on a g1. Thank you once again Cyanogen. Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!

For those having problems try this:

Download dwangs rom. Any of them. Then flash CMv.4.2.10.1 over it and see if you still have force closes. I've been going back and forth and have had no problems.
[G1 Android Development] roadrunnerx7:
really? what exactly you do? cause i tried clearing the cache from the applications settings but it still force closed on me
[G1 Android Development] fugita:
Thank you!
[G1 Android Development] :
Is Market working for you guys?
[G1 Android Development] xidominicanoix:
yea everythings working for me except for the aforementioned messaging and browser-download FC bugs
[G1 Android Development] CappyQ:
Updated, and it's all smooth. The new browser is nice and a little snappier, but there's something I can't STAND and just need fixed--one of Android's core keyboard shortcuts, Menu+A (Select All, just like CTRL+A on Windows), has a new shortcut in the browser that overwrites the functionality--Add Bookmark. I can no longer insert the cursor into a text box in the browser and highlight the contents with Menu+A, and that's a big loss (I'm aware of other slower ways of highlighting and I'm not looking for a workaround).

Is it going to be possible to fix this and just move Bookmark to Menu+B? Does anyone know?
[G1 Android Development] DMKrow:
Pinch Zoom

Multi-touch is fast in Dolphin Browser. I like the new api.
[G1 Android Development] gitanojr:
2nd that

Same here, messaging and browser-download....
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
Are you using a theme?
[G1 Android Development] The_Franchise:
why you took out the IM app? :(
[G1 Android Development] pkrattu:
Because, there are better IM Apps in the Market
[G1 Android Development] AustinKnight45:
Did you wipe before you flashed the rom cause if not that's most likely your problem both my browser and messaging work great nice and fast.

Ya mine is working a lot better then it has been from the last 2 builds.
[G1 Android Development] okubax:
updated to CM v4.2.10.1, flashed no wipe with no issues. love the new browser and gears is now working!. Saw some people posting that the Amazon MP3 app has been removed, it is still there but has been renamed MP3 Store
[G1 Android Development] FuMMoD:
Why does my music stop when i reply to a text or exist the music screen. Please fix!! I cannot keep going back to the music menu if i receive a text or email when I'm driving. Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] phuKKah:
Lol something strange I suppose; He removed the IM application... but it's running in my processes without being opened... what?
[G1 Android Development] igloo77055:
I posted instructions on how to install the old IM app...

And no there really aren't any better alternatives in the market,

at least thats what I believe.
[G1 Android Development] CappyQ:
I can confirm there's a glitch with browser downloads... here's the steps:

1) Hold-click on file --> Save link

2) Download screen opens, but doesn't show active download

3) File is shown as downloading in the notifications pane but no activity is in the Download screen

4) Pressing Back to go back to the Browser from the blank Download screen causes a Force Close everytime.

And again, can someone help with the following...?
[G1 Android Development] aceo07:
I just installed 4.2.10.1 over 4.2.5. Everything went smoothly. It did take 6-7minutes to bootup after the update. I did not wipe or do anything extra (aside from doing a backup). I did quick test of browser, email, gtalk, maps, music and visualvoicemail. Seems to be working good so far.
[G1 Android Development] fugita:
Ok for everyone who is upset about T-Mobile IM being removed Steve did ask in twitter if anyone would mind removing it and explained why *to save on space*. Also there are several FREE applications on the market that can be used and you can always install T-Mobile IM if you want it back. I think someone posted instructions *just look back through the posts*.
[G1 Android Development] pr3cision:
Keyboard audio is very loud..

so i flashed 4.2.9.10, and after the boot up i noticed that the soft keyboard key press sounds have gotten very loud.. and i can't turn it down with toggle settings either.. anyone else? and also it seems like the screen brightness adjusment bug is still there( flashlight cannot increase brightness)
[G1 Android Development] elzee:
Just the Advanced Launcher. No themes .. happy to avoid the issues associated with them. I was also running dxTop but eventually gave up on it too.

I have to say, once I sorted out my SDCard and set up the various EXT partitions etc. all I've ever done is to download the newest ROM and simply flash it over the last version.

Call me bloody lucky .. or perhaps the SDCard is just working right with the G1. All Steve's ROMs have run as advertised.

Merry Christmas! :)
[G1 Android Development] SilverSurfR:
Confirming the above browser bug. If you clear the download list (even though it may show as empty) you will get FC if you try to bring up the download list (menu > more > doanloads). If you download something it will show the list window telling you it's empty. Pressing back will FC.

Edit: I didn't wipe, did you Cappy? I never have since my CM install after State of Google vs. Cyanogen (everything pretty much worked according to the changelogs, so I thought why wipe?). I did clear browser settings and this bug still exists.
[G1 Android Development] aceo07:
Yup. Happens on mine too. I didn't do hold/save link. Just clicked on a linked file to download. From the download history window, you can't go back without crashing. I haven't tried anything else yet. The download does continue after the browser is closed.

From the downloads window, to avoid crashing, I went home and selected browser again. It did keep the previous page open in another window.
[G1 Android Development] blackknightavalon:
Found a bug of my own. WeatherBug's status bar notification is missing after 4.2.10.1 flash. Using my Nandroid backup of 4.2.9.1.
[G1 Android Development] fugita:
Found something new in the Market, you cannot OPEN or Uninstall applications or at least I can't.
[G1 Android Development] calam:
will this work from ext3?

Sorry, total nub here, & when I first applied the rom, i did the wiki from vanilla to the letter, but had an issue on the formatting section, when i got to ext3 to ext4 part, i kept receiving errors amounting to it not working, switch or command not valid stuff (sorry didnt write em down), & tried like 3 times, so my thinking is that ext4 never took. is there a way to verify this, & if so,...

will this file get me to ext4 from 3?

also, how do I wipe dalvik cache?

one last question for now, is there a way to see how much storage I have used of my ext partition, I have 512MB, but the myaccount app is all wacky since apps2sd is in play.

Thanks, please forgive the newb nature of these questions, I am still learning. If i could figure out how to get into the IRC channel, I'd just ask there.

calam

btw, the flash to 4.2.10.1 seems to be working fine for me thus far.

huge props to Steve & all the other devs here!!
[G1 Android Development] cdw9800:
so the power control widget doesn't respond when i click gps bluetooth or wi-fi any suggestions i did too full wipes and reinstall with the recovery.img.
[G1 Android Development] Zei:
I had this problem when i flashed 4.2.9.1. What I di was use Mybackup Pro and saved all my DATA[home screens, MMS, SMS, alarms, call log, contacts. system settings] and did a system/factory wipe. It allowed me to sign in to my gmail again and the market problem was solved. ThenI just restored everything I had.

If you wanna try this and need the .apk for it, PM and ill hook you up
[G1 Android Development] karthikjr:
Confirming the glitch.

It's reproducible.

Umm .. yeah .. it does!

Try wiping the dalvik cache?
[G1 Android Development] nightwolf2k5:
Slooooww...

I dunno why.. but after fashing to the 4.10.1 the entire system is frightfully slow..

I wiped, fixed permissions...

even went and got the overclock applet.. all to no avail..

takes a couple of seconds to respond to any input..

guess i'll reverting back to the 4.9.1 :(

but in my short stint with the 4.10.1.. noticed is the browser looking friggin awesome!!
[G1 Android Development] cdw9800:
yes twice im going to re download the rar and see how that works
[G1 Android Development] elzee:
Generally and the best idea is, after you first flash, wait and finally open the phone to check out the new Rom, to reboot again! It will boot up quicker and should also (ymmv) run quicker, too! :)
[G1 Android Development] fugita:
Scroll back through the posts there is a fix for it Steve posted an image flash file that you need to use. I had to same issue and it is fine now.
[G1 Android Development] psguardian:
Only a guess here but did you two updated without wiping? cyan's ROM's only change whats included in his latest build (i.e. his doesn't include google apps but they remain when flashing from base 1.6 rom upto latest cyan) so if you do fresh wipe & install from the ground up the IM app should go bye bye.

Cannot upgrate to 4.2.10.1

Hello All,

I've just tried to upgrade my HTC magic ( 32B ) from 4.2.9.1 to 4.2.10.1 and the image flashing process fails :

In nandroid backup I'm getting the following :

- Verifying update package

- Installing update...

- Formatting Cache

- Formatting System

- E: Can't chown/mod /system/ (No such file or directory )

E: Failure at line 62

set_perm_recursive 0 0 0755 0644

_SYSTEM:

Installation aborted.

I've checked the md5sum of my update.zip and it matches the one displayed on the website.

I'm using a class 6 SD with swap & ext4 partition for app2sd.

Using cm recovery 1.4

Has anyone seen this ?
[G1 Android Development] GrayFox814:
Sooo.....after updating to the newest one and running into a wall of slow, i tried rebooting a few times, saw steve's fix downloaded and rebooted into recovery just to be safe so i could run it....didn't know if it'd cause any problems running it with the phone on.

So i tried running it there through adb shell...and it kept telling me the file could not be found

So...after many atempted restarts in which the phone would just stay at the green mytouch 3g logo...i booted into fastboot to copy the .img file directly to the phone to run it from there. back to recovery, ran it, and it didn't help.

Soooo i decided to just re-apply the 4.2.10.1 zip

slow as b4 but this time ran the boot-img while the phone was on and after a reboot...viola...phone runs nice and smooth n_n

I think this update even fixed my acore fc problems whenever i'd go back to the home screen or flip the phone from landscape to normal and vice versa

Thanks Steve!!!!!

EDIT: Actually this update didn't fix my android.process.acore problem

anyone else experience this?

whenever i rotate the phone on the home screen and sometimes when returning to the home screen the message pops up to fc process android.process.acore

its been like this since 4.2.8 for me

Any ideas on how to fix this?

[G1 Android Development] the_fish:
is it me or is the new keyboard AWESOME? I type better than on the hero keyboard with it! Browser looks great also, gotta clear defaults first though since it keeps starting up dolphin :P

thanks cyanogen =)

loving it :) do browser alternatives use the new version of webkit too now? i guess so?

BTW: have you guys noticed the double tap trackball feature is gone?

EDIT3: multitouch zooming is still missing :(

EDIT4: another bug: Whenever i start a download, it FCs
[G1 Android Development] Dyonas:
It sounds similar to a bug I've noticed a few times where the power control widget isn't shown properly after the first boot. It was solved by letting the phone boot up, powering down and then powering back up again. As I said it only sounds similar, mostly because it didn't work properly after installing. If you've not tried it then you don't lose anything by trying except a little time.
