Got an interesting issue.

After upgrading my wifes phone from .13 to .14.1, the 'e' key on her hard-keyboard does not work. It sends you home. Anyone have a suggestion....other than wiping. I'll try that if all else fails. I did downgrade back to .13, but am still having the problem.

Problems flashing

I tried flashing this ROM last night on my G1. It hung on the G1 screen for 10 minutes and I gave up. Any suggestions? Here is what I did.

Wipe.

Clear EXT4

Wipe.

Flash

Reboot System

I was running an eclair ROM with new Radios, Danger SPL, EXT4, 128 swap. I am not new to this, but would appreciate any suggestions.
[G1 Android Development] Krayzie Se7en:
I had a broken keyboard before. :( It didnt send me home, but it didnt work. (among other Keys)

Try going into the console from recovery and see if the "e" key works. If it works great, i have no further suggestions. If it doesn't work, im guessing the keyboard is going bad.
[G1 Android Development] jdeslip:
I am sure this has been answered somewhere before, but after an hour or so of searching I can't find answer; so, I apologize in advance. My question is after installing cyanogenmod following instructions on the Full Update Guide on cyanogenmod wiki for dream users (I'd post link but forum won't let me because I am new user) I can only see free apps in the market. No paid apps appear even in the categories or directly searching for them even. This occurs on 4.2.12 and on 4.2.14, which I just updated to. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] neok44:
2 problems with 4.2.14.1

i apologize for that, but no one on this forum seems to ever see my posts unless i do it. there were about 40 replies after i last posted this and i got ignored by everyone. so now maybe you'll actually see this.

now here are my issues. one of which is kinda major

First: Clock app always shows weather in Celsius even though i have it set in the news & weather app as Fahrenheit

Second: Gmail app refuses to send any message. Everything else is fine, but sending on Edge, 3g, or wi-fi does not work. It just sits there saying sending and never sends. On edge and 3g i can see the arrows showing data is being sent/received for about 3 seconds after i press send but the message is never sent.

This is kinda a big deal for me since i need my e-mail to work and now i'm forced to use the browser version.

any help here would be awesome
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
I know you said that you flashed, but did you flash the defanged_base before the update? Coming from another ROM, this will be necessary for Cyan's ROMs.
[G1 Android Development] :
How to:

a) make camera be silent?

b) make volume during calls default to max?

Thanks 8)
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
a) Put your phone on silent.
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
I don't think you were being ignored, I just think no one else is experiencing your problems. I read your post and immediately checked the clock app to see how it would check weather. Mine doesn't check the weather, so I had nothing to offer there. I also checked Gmail from the phone, and it worked fine. I doubt my response would have been any help to you. You don't really tell us what you tried to fix this yourself. You can try uninstalling and reinstalling the application that integrates with the Clock app? Try clearing the cache and data store in applications management for your gmail app? Maybe you have done that stuff, but I can't tell by just looking at your childish, big-font post.
[G1 Android Development] designerfx:
Same. Sorry Neok44, but I'm not having that issue. I'd suggest you wipe and start fresh if you can't figure it out. My guess if not the basic "wipe and start over" is that maybe you have an app that is causing problems and not the latest cyanogen version.
[G1 Android Development] sundaytees:
I knew I forgot something. Good looking out!!
[G1 Android Development] Nickedynick:
There you go, a reply! I agree with _zygo_, I'm not sure what you mean by "news and weather app" but I'm pretty sure it's unrelated, and as for the GMail issue, I've not seen anyone else with the same problem. Try clearing GMail and GMail storage cache? I've found that to help with receiving previously.
[G1 Android Development] Jacquestrapp:
Gmail works fine for me too. I started with a totally wiped G1, flashed "signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip", then flashed Cyanogenmod.
[G1 Android Development] rurugger:
Does applying the update wipe the phone?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what does and doesn't get wiped when the update is applied?

Will the apps still be there?
[G1 Android Development] djdarkknight96:
Fastest ROM on XDA

This update is by far the fastest yet! Thanks Cyanogen for not forgetting us and keep up the great work!!!
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
We see that question everyday. Your apps should still be there with a no-wipe flash of the latest ROM. Your text messages and Google Voice messages will still be there. You will retain your application settings. Heck, even my complicated alarm settings were retained and were picked up by the new Clock app. So, as long as you don't wipe when you update from a previous CM ROM, you shouldn't lose any apps or settings, etc. If you wipe and then flash defanged_base and CM, then you may have to restore some settings and you will lose saved text messages, etc., (unless you back those up somehow.) If you have APPS2SD, your apps may be installed and running properly, too. But, if you are going to wipe, you might as well reformat or wipe the SD, too. I know those of you with 100s of apps don't like to do that. I am not in that boat (I use the Market as my software repository, and if I don't use an app daily, it's not loaded on my phone.)
[G1 Android Development] rurugger:
Thank you for the quick response! I did look over the few most recent pages of posts and didn't see this question, my apologies for a repeat though. Maybe something to add to the Wiki at some point, perhaps to an FAQ list.

I'm new to Android (1 week), loving the openness and the community support so far, still will need to play around with Apps2SD and a few other things.

Thanks folks!
[G1 Android Development] Hosern1:
the new alarm clock didnt work this morning, missed 2 lectures :(

seems when i set my time left to home,i cleared all processes and that made the clock app close thus making my alarm not go off. anyone else encounter this? would be great if this can be fixed like the previous alarm clock.

also battery time has deacresed noticably with the new update.

but in anyways great update, much faster. thank you.
[G1 Android Development] dudebro:
I'm getting a home screen load every time I'm in an app and go home. Any idea why?
[G1 Android Development] G1-evolve:
Kind of disappointed, was expecting more from a new release. Maybe it's just time for me to get a N1.. Maybe one day when college isn't killing me. :(

none the less, thanks Cyanogen. :D
[G1 Android Development] aceo07:
hm, I'll have to verify this myself later. I use the alarm clock to wake up and if that doesn't work 100%, I'll be in trouble also.
[G1 Android Development] liquidrezin:
I had the same problem this morning. Luckily though, my wife's alarm is at the same time so I woke up. I checked my phone and wondered why my alarm didn't go off. I added the clock app to my ignore kill list and set the alarm for 3 minutes later and it went off... Looks like you have to keep the clock running for the alarm to go off now.
[G1 Android Development] Hosern1:
thanks for the tip, added to ignore list also, that should do the trick. thanks

anyone else notice less battery time?
[G1 Android Development] mr2t32:
I have just came back to cyanogen rom. Did a clean wipe and install. I can confirm that the deskclock only shows the temp in celsius. I have news and weather installed or also known as geniewidget. I have try changing the setting in the geniewidget app and it did not affect the display in the deskclock. Not sure if this is something with the deskclock or the geniewidget .
[G1 Android Development] :
:o:o:D thanks zygo for checking on my stupidity!! I thought i checked it before i posted it but....:o

Any ideas about the volume during calls?
[G1 Android Development] akafaze:
It'll be set when you max the volume in your first call. Each time you change the volume in your calls, it'll save when you hang up.

i was stuck at tmo g1 screen, now im not

guys,

today was day 5 of me trying to get my phone back with cyanogenmod

i reflashed my phone at least 25 times in attempt to get this to work. started from scratch with load stock os, the rooting, then recovery rom, then cm's. i tried several different versions of cm. all had the same result. i was about ready to throw my phone at a wall cuz i didn't want the pos stock os.

then decided to look into filesystems and the sd card. i remember several months ago when i first put cm on, it mentioned 'upgrading' and i use that term loosely, to ext3. ext3 has been known to cause problems, and failures, with flash memory as it uses journal logging. this feature uses read/writes of the card frequently.

'downgraded' the filesystem to ext2 and it took 2 tries, but sure enough, i was able to get it working and back into cm

i will however, take note of what exactly i did to get it to work. after the first failure attempt, i pulled the battery, waited, inserted it back, and home+power'd to get to recovery. i did a nandroid backup, which unlike when i had ext3, didn't give me an error. i then did a ext file system repair from the recovery menu. after it was done i call+menu+powered it to reboot, and immediately held down home, which escaped the boot. loaded the files as normal. home+back to reboot. it wrote the radio image. then it booted into the recovery again. i let it sit for about 5 minutes at this screen. home+back'd again, and booted into cm.

im sure not everyone will have this problem, but hopefully someone will get some use out of this post where the filesystem type was culprit of my headache.
[G1 Android Development] area5x1:
It may be just me, but after going to 4.1.14.1 from 4.1.12, I get less free memory. In 4.1.12, if I clear all apps, I can get upwards of 35mb of free memory, but in the new version, I can only get up to 26.

Anyone else notice this? This is adversely affecting my transition between homescreen/app manager by making it less smooth and stutter more
[G1 Android Development] whiteghetto:
Is anyone having issues with the gmail app?

when I read an item on my phone it does not get marked as read.

I cannot send email.

I did look quickly through the more recent messages but did not see anything related.

I did the CMupdated install. I did not wipe the phone.

I am lazy and dont want to reinstall/setup everything :)

I finally found a related thread :)

clearing my Gmail data and Gmail data cache fixed it!!

thanks guys

Bug To Report

I'm not sure if this was mentioned in the past but I'm just starting to get annoyed with it. When I take a picture, using the normal camera app, then click share, then facebook. The upload never completes. I've tried using ver1.1.0 and ver1.1.2 facebook apps. I then tried to go through the gallery app to share the pic, same thing, with both facebook app versions. When I use any other rom, i.e. sense ui/android 2.1, I don't seem to have this problem. Have this issue ever been addressed? I love the stability of the rom, its just this minor problem. Get to it when you can, beggars can't be choosers, LOL!
[G1 Android Development] kefs:
I'm having the same issue with MediaByPath, and that's what I use to launch music too. I've been playing with Astro Player Beta, but it's nowhere as good as MediaByPath + Music app. I hope this gets fixed soon though..

I notice this hasn't been reported on the issue tracker yet also.. Maybe I should get around to that..

CDMA Sprint HTC Hero

I have been looking around for a couple of days now, and everyone is saying that CyanogenMod is the very best ROM out there right now. I can't figure out if there is a way for me to get one of his ROMs to work on my sprint HTC Hero. Does anyone know if I can install it on my phone?
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
i'm using beautiful home small widget for weather and clock display on desktop, no problems with f or c on temp
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I'm confused by what you mean. As far as I can tell, the DeckClock app has nothing to do with weather info. The Genie widget from 2.x is a completely separate and unrelated app.
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
with 4.2.14.1 and 10MB ram hack, i'm getting 49-53 MB free after clearing all apps
[G1 Android Development] schmickers:
Now that IS awesome. Thank you so much. Time to boot my old desktop clock and get a dock for my Dream.

Edit: My only gripe is that it times out after a couple of minutes. Anyway to prevent this?
[G1 Android Development] jdeslip:
Sorry to ask this question. But I recently changed my G1 from stock donut to cyanogen 4.2.12 (and not 4.2.14) following instructions on wiki exactly but I cannot see paid apps in market. Any ideas.

*OK, I figured out that it is because the phone currently doesn't have a sim card in it (the sim is in my Nexus One), but I have wireless on - it sucks that you need a sim for apps...
[G1 Android Development] djtoonjr:
idk if its my phone or jus he ROMs.

ive been having these problems lately. ive switched from ROM to ROM and still happens.

lately, if my phone like, freezes up, like lags really bad, itll restart on it self, and once it gets to the "T-Mobile G1" screen, itll reboot again, and again, and again, and again.. so i would hve to take out the battery and leave it out for a cpouple minutes then put it bak in.

any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] ready4thebreak:
Am I the only one who's a bit pissed off that this new release doesn't have the Data Synchronization tab in the Settings menu. From time to time, CM releases don't have this, and I always question why he would take it now. This time, I'm especially pissed about it because none of my Google Services are working. Process .Gapps, .Acore, .Calender, .Gmail, and .Clock either don't open, or randomly force close. I've reflashed twice and checked the md5 checksum. I'll wipe and repartition and such again, but I'm a little convinced this release is the issue, but then again, I'll get 50 posts from dudes saying this is the fastest CM release they've ever laid eyes, w/e.
[G1 Android Development] prettyboy85712:
Cyanogen will tell you where to go......for your solution.
[G1 Android Development] .A.J.:
I have it & I've never not had it on one of Cyan's ROMs.
[G1 Android Development] iWannaBeAdored:
Nothing is wrong with the CM ROM I have anyway. I have all the features that I should do.
[G1 Android Development] ready4thebreak:
huh?

What are these all known issues? I don't see any issues in the bug tracker, nor do I see similar posts with this issue. I've searched the issues for this release, to no avail, but of course this thread is so over the top with post, that searching is almost irrelevant at this point.

This is also my first time having this issue. I've had the G1 since the launch date and rooted it ASAP. I've pretty much mastered this, so I'm just trying to see if there's something I missed this time around. The only change I've had is my 8GB SD Card took a crap(WAY TOO SOON, too), so I went back to a 1 GB so that I could at least run the damn phone, since it's so reliant on the SD Card. My latest backup was like a week or so old, so some new apps were missing. Could that be the issue?

Speaking of issues, why does the Goog refuses to force manufacturers to make bigger internal memory an essential thing. Apps in the Market are getting much to big to keep locking us into 512MB(or less) ROM.
[G1 Android Development] mr2t32:
The deskclock uses the news and weather(geniewidget) to display weather info under the time on the left bottom corner area. I do no mean that the geniewidget is having problem displaying the Fahrenheit because of the deskclock. Does the deskclock display weather info without geniewidget installed?

I have setCPU running at 528 non-stop and my battery is fine

No it must not because I don't have Genie installed and I have no weather in DeckClock. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll install Genie and see what happens.

Bug Report

Solutions? I find that when I upload pics using the Facebook app itself, the pic uploads just fine. Just to recap, when uploading pictures from the camera app or gallery app, the upload hangs and never completes. I found a fix for this issue so I won't press an official fix. Continue cooking, thanks again!
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
I just tested and my phone vibrates upon receipt of a text. Are you using the stock messaging app?
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
Nah, like you, I would be upset if my phone was fried, too. But, before posting, I would have done a complete wipe, flashed defanged_base, flashed the ROM, then tested. I suspect you have a legacy setting or configuration causing your issues. You can spend a lot of time trying to track down what's causing the problem, or you can do a complete wipe. If you are using APPS2SD with that G1, you may need to wipe or reformat that SD of yours. I'd like to see you do a wipe and reinstall everything as outlined in the instructions link in the very first post of this thread, then come back and tell us how you feel about the ROM. If you don't like it, I'll personally give you back the money you spent on this ROM. Good Luck.
[G1 Android Development] xjjjay:
Hm, thinking about trying out other roms, most notably Super D. What are the benefits of Cyan's over Super D? I rooted and flashed cyan the moment I got my G1, so all of the features on Cyan I took for granted. What will I miss if I make the change?

thanks cyan for all your hard work.

Also, any easy way to painlessly downgrade from ext4 to ext3? The higher number suckers noobs like me into upgrading but I've come to realize i'd rather have ext3.
[G1 Android Development] ready4thebreak:
Yeah man, I hear you. I think my frustration stems more from how pissed I am about this phone in general. I bought it on launch day and this phone is extremely dated already, it hasn't even been a year and a half. It's an even bigger problem when there is no other Android phone for T-Mobile(which I'd be willing to leave, but not for a more expensive plan) with a 5-row keyboard or a decent sized internal ROM(which wouldn't be a complaint if they'd allow us to install apps on SD).

The N1 is nice and all, but I'm not paying to support the Goog straight up if they won't give me SOME kind of subsidy for being a G1 early adopter(because I'm not going to wait until 10/10 to get a 10 month old N1, if I can even deal with the damn phone that long). I'm not saying they owe it to me or something, but dropping a beast phone before 24 months is up is extremely unfair to those who helped to launch their platform.
[G1 Android Development] mckoy1:
What happened to the video player (tiny green player)?
[G1 Android Development] philosophics:
No good. I have ext4. What is the difference? I would like to know cause if ext3 does anything to performance, that is something I'm interested in...
[G1 Android Development] merdely:
Sheesh... "pissed" is quite strong of a feeling towards work someone is doing during his free time that you get to benefit from. Nobody forced you to flash your phone with CM. It was your choice to use the fruits of his work.

FWIW: I have *never* experienced the problems you describe. Ever. Gmail, Google Calendar/Contacts all work fine and the sync options are in settings as they have been with every Cyan release.
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
i modded my friend's g1 and its been fine...something may be seriously wrong with your hardware, imo...btw, i thought i would always want a physical keyboard, but i've gotten quite used to the mt3g with no physical keyboard, and with better keyboard, i dont even miss the physical keyboard anymore...if you got a mt3g, i think you would be really happy with it
[G1 Android Development] ready4thebreak:
ok

a) I have every right to pissed because it's a minuscule thing(in the larger scope of an OS) that only causes isolated issues and prevents you from syncing your info as you please. For example, I don't have great signal in my apartment, so if I want to connect to Wifi, restart the Setup Wizard and sign back on, I have to use the Data Sync settings. Opening Google Services no longer takes me to the Setup Wizard anymore, but maybe that's another random issue I've encountered.

b) I have donated to CM, so it's not like I'm completely just *****ing about it as an outsider. Just Apps2SD alone makes this worth donating for.

It's not like I'm saying man, CM never gets this right or has locked me in or something, but it's extremely aggravating when something like "Sync Now" is taken out with no mention of the change or reason. I think my complaint is extremely legitimate and maybe CM may have realized it since I've mentioned it. Thanks for adding nothing to this thread.

FYI: Read my other post, I have never had this issue either, but I am thinking of ways to rectify my issue.

You may be right. I can honestly say that I don't mind the virtual keyboard, but I don't prefer it. I've spent a few hours rooting a co-workers MT3G as well and it wasn't terrible, but I wouldn't feel like I was getting the most bang for my buck because the hardware is dated. I do happen to LOVE the HTC IME keyboard, but the stock Android keyboard just doesn't do it for me. I might be more forgiving if there were an HD2 with Android, but that's more because I prefer Sense and the hardware selection is stellar. I think that for the money we're paying for these devices, we shouldn't settle for less than what we're looking for.
[G1 Android Development] TonyChani:
uuh question everyone, i havn't flashed cyan for a while so i sorta forgot, do you still have to do a whole wipe if you have the rom already flashed to update it cause cyanogen has quite a lot of updated lol
[G1 Android Development] Darrien13:
can you provide me with the bluetooth file transfer app included in his rom I can not find it anywhere! thanks
[G1 Android Development] ready4thebreak:
I'm not 100%, but I will say, if you've properly backed up all your stuff, it wouldn't do any harm to wipe and install the update. It would most likely make the install smooth and you don't really lose anything by wiping except Wifi passwords and such.
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
Just so you know, you are the first and (probably) only person to mention losing their Sync settings. So... before you get too pissed, think why me? What did I do wrong? What steps could I take to solve this?

Have you tried reflashing the defanged base and 4.2.14.1 rom again?

What base 1.6 image did you use?

Any themes installed?
[G1 Android Development] kozimodo:
I just upgraded to 4.2.14.1 and everything is working great except the clock widget -- it now says "Problem loading widget" where the clock used to sit. Any ideas how to fix this? Cheers!
