Really Appreciate "360 degree" Screen Rotation

The ability to rotate the device any direction and have the screen also rotate with CM 4.2.15.1 is awesome. I like to plug in my G1 when I'm at my computer, set it on its side, and listen to music with the screen turned on to display song info. Before, I had to set it on the side with the volume rocker against my desk, which often resulted in it getting pressed. Now, I can set it on the other side with the screen right-side up. Impressive. Thanks, Steve!

If you haven't noticed by now, the trackball on the g1/dream I in fact, of solid color.

There is no led behind the trackball thus meaning, there willnever be a mod or patch or hack that will enable the trackball to light up...

Is acore FC'ing? Fix your permissions...

Boot into recovery, alt+x= console

Type fix_permissions

Not hard guys...
[G1 Android Development] trusteelfan:
I agree. I used cyan roms for months, then switched to superD. Now im back to cyan cuz it is just as fast if not quicker. They are both very good roms so its just a personal choice now.
[G1 Android Development] :
If all this talk of cyanogen being as fast as SuperD, I'll never go back. Sorry, but I do find it hard to believe. Cyanogen is an amazing ROM, but has never been close to SuperD speed-wise.
[G1 Android Development] smithfb3:
Thank you for your input. I did do fix_permissions along with the other less demanding options RA's recovery gave me, but they did not work. Eliminating "Task Killer" did fix the problem. I tried everything I could think of Before wiping.

I only found it was Task killer by activating each App individually and that was the one that started the Acore issues.

Again hope this helps someone.
[G1 Android Development] philosophics:
That is so strange...

try this but keep in mind, it's just a guess...

go into your recovery console and type,

#e2fsck -fcpDC0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

once complete, type

reboot recovery

once back into console, fix permissions

after permissions have been fixed, reboot

try to re-install your task killer and see what happens...
[G1 Android Development] Pikkuhannu:
What SuperD? :eek:

For me, there is no other ROM than CyanogenMod! :D

Help

I need some help guys. I had the cyanogen mod rom and flashed to the cannon 1.2 rom just to see how it was, its ok but nothing compared to this current one. How when I try to reflash with the cyanogen rom, my g1 gets stuck on the g1 screen. is there something I am missing? I have wiped the phone, I wiped the ext partition, I ever tried reflashing the spl.

Your input is appreciated

If you come from anything else than a previous CyanogenMod ROM version, you have to start with the defanged image, then CM ROM. Read the wiki at cyanogenmod.com

The speed of Cyan 4.2.15.1 is indeed better than the previous CM's. I stopped using CM quite a long time ago because it bacame too slow. Then I used mostly Super D until the terrible 1.9 Version after that I used Dwang imho the fastest most reliable Rom but with no Eclair code in the kernel.

Now i tried CM 4.2.15.1 an Im impressed of the really acceptable speed and the features. But it cant mess with the Dwang Speed so far!
[G1 Android Development] endolin:
regarding speed

if you flash some different roms always make sure to wipe the ext-partition on the sd-card from time to time. this helps a lot regarding speed and errors.

and dont' forget to backup your apps etc. prior to wiping ext.

is this the right place to report this?
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
No, it's at http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/list

Just tried doing the same with Astro, and that worked no problem. So your problem is probably not a general CM problem, but more likely a peculiarity with your phone.

tethering issues with .15.1

Guys,

Just flashed 4.2.15.1, everything went fine.

Except it keeps giving me phone is an unknown state when I try to start wired tether.

Wiresd tether logs show no error.

I thought this rom was supposed to have all the kernel components needed for tethering?

Have the samw exact issue with wireless tether as well.

Tried reading last 10+ pages and searching, but it seems folks just d/l and ionstalled the wired tether v1.2 apk from the developers site and it seems to be working for them?

Can ppl who have it working let me know if they did anything else to make it work?

Thanks in advance,

Yea i noticed the music app crashes since the 4.2.15.
[G1 Android Development] SilentTweak:
I was about to post about how my sync stopped updating automatically but went into GTalk and realized I wasn't signed in. Didn't think that would cause the problem. But it seems like my GTalk got pushed out of the memory. Turned on swap to fix it. But, weird that it wasn't signed in, I thought that was fixed. Maybe it's because I have AutoKiller running in the background?

Everything is running flawlessly and fast! Just wanted to say CyanogenMod is amazing and my phone would be nothing without it!
[G1 Android Development] carlsbad0331:
I am having an odd issue. I created a backup yesterday and then updated.

Since doing the update my ring tones are no longer being played (it has defaulted to a generic system ring tone) and about 50% of the time no ring tone is played at all when a call comes in (phone is set to high volume and not on mute).

I have checked all of the settings, checked to see what ring tone was assigned and all is as it should be.

I restored back to the backup that I had created and everything is fixed.

Attempted to re-install the update this morning and the same issue returns.

Any suggestions?

Just wanted to say that your 4.2.15.1 version was the greatest. Was hesitating previously since 4.2.14.1 was running much much better than any previous versions, thought it could not get any better than that. Boy, was i love being wrong for this :D

Thank you so much for your effort, kudos Cyan!

seems to me it works when you flash back 2 a previous version of his rom because it has the settings saved.

[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
I am pretty sure if you turn on WiFi, and you are logged into a valid, good, WiFi system, Edge/3G will be disabled. I don't think you can have Edge/3G and WiFi operating simultaneously (I am positive someone will correct me if I am wrong.) If your YouTube is seeking an Edge connection, I have a feeling the WiFi connection you are using is weak, not an authenticated connection, wrong mode, etc. Just my guess.
[G1 Android Development] JazzMac251:
wow i've been away for about a year and things have sure taken off with Cyanogen! Unfortunately, I'm having a very serious problem and i need the expertise of those that frequent this forum.

So i was running Cyanogen's 4.2.14.1 (or something close to that) and i decided to install the latest nifty theme (darkdroid) from the Cyanogen Updater. After i installed the theme and was rebooting for the first time, the screen froze at blank after the initial splash screen finished loading and it was time for the home screen to come up. Well, i decided that the whole "theme" thing wasn't important, so i decided to wipe and reflash Cyanogen's latest 4.2.15.1 .

For some reason my G1 will no longer boot up past the G1 splash screen. No matter how many times i re-download the update, re-copy it to my SD, and reflash it (including wipe), nothing it working.

I'm totally not new to flashing and i've never had this problem before. Can someone please help? I'm running out of ideas...
[G1 Android Development] sedlik:
Maps issue?

Yes, I am having strange issues with Maps since updating to 15.1. I did a complete wipe, installed defanged based and them ROM and everything seemed to be working well, but my directions are way off all of a sudden. I use the Navigation feature a lot when driving and it has always worked great, but with the new ROM for some reason the location is off by a mile or so. I put in a major chain store (with the correct address) and it took me into a residential area about 2 miles away (and then displayed a street view image of a house as my "destination"). Bizarre. It also tends to retain prior locations input into directions even when you try to replace with new locations. Lastly, it kept repeating the final few directions from a prior location (a couple of days ago). Don't know if uninstalling the Maps update and reinstalling might help, but since someone else mentioned a problem I thought I'd chime in.
[G1 Android Development] bryant_16:
I have tried reinstalling already but to no avail. I even cleared the cache for Maps and is still not working.

Are you flashing a defanged or 1.6 base first?
[G1 Android Development] JazzMac251:
damn you know it's been so long since i've been into this stuff regularly i'm not sure anymore... are we talking about the cyanogenmod JF recovery 1.4? is it up to 1.6?

man all this stuff really progressed without me...i'm a total n00b again :o

edit: 1.6 i'm on a G1
[G1 Android Development] RAQemUP:
Go to the Cyanogen wiki. Install teh Defanged base rom there (do not reboot phone) and then flash the current Cyanogen right on top. Then reboot.
[G1 Android Development] JazzMac251:
success! i just followed the instructions on the cyanogen wiki. thanks anyway, everybody, and sorry to take up the forum space with what amounted to a stupid "should have googled first" question.

although i'm glad i could be around to see Cyanogen's thread go 1337 ;)
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
No, we're talking about the base Android 1.6 from HTC, that someone took "the bad parts" out of, and that has to be flashed before flashing CM (unless you come from a previous CM version >=4.1.99 and have already flashed HTC/defanged).

/Mats
[G1 Android Development] JazzMac251:
do you recommend the defanged base rom even on a G1? the Cyanogen wiki says G1s should download the Android 1.6 base.

DRC83_base_defanged.zip is for Magic users according to the Cyanogen wiki
[G1 Android Development] RAQemUP:
Ya Defanged base rom even for G1s.
[G1 Android Development] JazzMac251:
i got the phone up and running. should i apply the defanged base rom now or should i go through a separate process?

could you hit me up with a link to save me some time? i'm only seeing the defanged base rom for Magic users.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod

Not sure where you got the idea the defanged DRC83 was for the Magic only.
[G1 Android Development] RAQemUP:
Ya one of the pages in the Cyanogen Wiki mentions using the normal base for G1 and the defanged for Magic.

All the defanged is is a cleaned up version of the base. Some things were taking out that would not be used. If you are already up and running with CM installed then there really is no point unless you were having some bug issues.
[G1 Android Development] gyorik:
This is interest to me, too.
[G1 Android Development] gyorik:
For Openvpn, you need to convert te cert and key files to the android internal keystore format:

openssl pkcs12 -export -in /sdcard/openvpn/client.crt -inkey /sdcard/openvpn/client.key -certfile /sdcard/openvpn/ca.crt -name whaterveryouwant -out /sdcard/certs.p12

The /sdcard/openvpn is my path of the openvpn config files, you can add your path.

In the end, it get a password, type anything, then go Settings>Security&Locations>Install from SD Card, and re-type again.

Now you can add the certs on the vpn config screen.

Note: You can run the openssl command in your device or other linux machine, doesnt matter.
[G1 Android Development] JazzMac251:
Cool. thanks man!

Pretty Fast

Although this ROM has been pretty fast, I still don't think it is quite as fast as FastTest. Maybe I need to fiddle with my settings a little first.

Will post back with an edit if I get a chance.

Never the less... Cyanogen and his mods are certainly 1337+ status <<----had to bold this for you who want to misread post and reply with snipey remarks. And if you don't know what 1337 is... I can't help you.

EDIT:

I added the RAM HACK, which FastTest had stock and changed my backing swap settings... its "ultra responsive" now. This is directly at you: ( you know how you are, no-one said any ROM was superior... just giving relative comparison. And yes, we know you can read and formulate your own ideas. But without people posting their ideas... what the EFF would you have to read?...stop taking forum posts so personally (unless that's where you want them to go... and in that case... feel free to PM me
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
I was beginning to think Cyan had abandoned everyone but the Nexus holders. Glad to see an update. Still really looking for a full 2.1 update, but I know there's a few things not yet released (such as video codecs) and I know Cyan won't put out a half done ROM (props to him for that). So...here's hoping that the rest gets released into the wild soon. Till then, this was a great update (as always).
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
Why would you think this ROM was being abandoned? You didn't believe the 100+ posts stating that he was still working on this ROM?

I am always curious...What exactly are you looking for in the 2.1 update?
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
I guess "abandoned" was too strong of a word. I think Cyan was just excited about the Nexus (which I'd be, too, if I had one) and perhaps I was just getting too used to his numerous updates. My bad.

Not looking for a ton in 2.1, but I've tried a few of the 2.1 ROMS out there (Kings is pretty good so far) and I do like the quickness (not that it's all that much blazing faster or anything) and I like the general look (new lock screen, widgets, etc.). Nothing big, but, hey, don't we all love new stuff? :D I want to stick with Cyan, though. His ROMS are always very reliable and he releases fixes very quickly, when needed. If anyone was ever into the PSP hacking realm, Cyan is our Dark_Alex.
[G1 Android Development] sandyturley:
I'm wondering, what all is kept on that partition. I mean when we wipe it what all does it delete? I'm having an issue with my Market icon. When i click on it I get an error that says, cannot connect to server, and then it gives a retry and a cancel button. Also the home button only works on the apps page and if you are in the Car navigatiion app. Everywhere else you have to back out of all the pages you have gone into.

Everything else seems to be working pretty well.

Thanks for listing.

Sandy :)
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
I always laugh at these types of posts. Big whoop that FastTest might be faster than Cyan. I am sure Cyan really enjoys hearing how slow his ROM is compared to other ROMs. It's like, "Yeah, your ROM is great, even though it isn't the best." A back-handed compliment, at best. This just isn't the forum.

Those of us who are interested can read and make our own judgments and comparisons of ROMs. We have made our choice of ROM and we can test others if we'd like without comments like this in the cyanogen forum. I'll take a fast, stable, well-documented, well-supported ROM, by a dev with a proven history and obvious skill, over a ROM with questionable coding just to save a few microseconds or add megaflop or two.

And while I appreciate the effort, perhaps these ROM-superiority comments are best left to other threads, because I could care less about your testing, with your applications and in your environment, that is probably 100% different from mine and others. It doesn't impress me and really, without a benchmark or apples-to-apples comparison, your results are probably meaningless to a majority of us. I don't know who you are, how you are testing, etc., so I am glad that your testing of FastTest will give you the results that may or may not satisfy you, but for a majority of us, it probably doesn't matter. Knock yourself out.
[G1 Android Development] RaindropBebop:
Just flashed over to 4.2.15.1 over the weekend. It's wicked fast.

I have one problem though, today while I was listening to music, I noticed that the volume was noticeably softer. I can't be sure if it's affecting my ringtone/notification volume (I don't think it is), but my media volume is definitely softer. I can barely hear key-clicks when I'm typing, and when listening to music, if I turn the volume down to half it's as good as off.

I've tried messing with every volume setting I could.. no luck.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

[G1 Android Development] RaindropBebop:
I don't mean to hijack this thread for my petty audio problems, but is this audio hack really the only way to get my audio volume back to the levels it was in the previous cyanogen rom I was running [4.2.14]?

Also, is the hack phone wide? That is, ringtone/notifications + media are all louder? Or does it only affect media? And what version would you recommend? G7v2 looks like it's the best.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Wow. Someone's got a little pent up rage. Look, it's a FORUM. We're allowed to talk about what we'd like to see in Cyan's ROMS and sometimes that means comparing it to another. The poor guy never said, "Man, Cyanogen sucks, dude! FastTest rules!" He just said he'd been testing and seemed to like FastTest. And he even said he'd keep on and check back later. Seems like a valid testing environment to me. So, speak for yourself and maybe take a pill and "Knock yourself out."
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
It's not rage at all, but an observation. Just like you weren't able to read back a few pages to see that the man was still working on and supporting the ROM, if the OP had read through these posts, he'd see the ROM has already been compared to others for speed, stability, features, etc. A number of pages back it was Dwang, then SuperD, and now FastTest. It is a back-handed compliment to thank the man while at the same time indicating his ROM isn't fast enough, and to do so in his ROM thread is even worse. No one forces anyone to load Cyan's ROM. No one asked anyone to compare it to FastTest, or the next ROM.

I know the purpose of a forum, and every post should be beneficial, offering a problem others might be experiencing, and possibly a solution to a problem, advice, etc. I tire of the blowhard fanboy braggadocios extolling the speediness of their flaky ROMs. Like we needed to hear, for the 23rd time, how fast FastTest is compared to Cyan. A worthless post. Nothing unique. I am glad you enjoyed it so much as to defend it. Good for you.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
I do believe that FastTest 2.9 w/o ram hack(the latest version I know of) is using cyan's kernel :D So technically its a compliment to Cyan to say FastTest is fast, in any aspect. :D
