Camera question

Cyan, i got addicted to hacking and modding my G1 around august CyanogenMod version 4.1.10.something. Since then My stinking G1 changes from a pastry to a Hero to a Droid and on and on. I think i completely wipe and change my mod and themes at least once a week.

The one thing i noticed was the cheesy camera app. has not changed much. Well, it did but then went back to crap. In one of your mod versions you changed the camera and it had a ZOOM. maybe version 4.9999999999?

That was the best camera i have seen in any rom, mod, theme, version, etc.

It seems like many of you awsome creative artists and genius code pounders are focusing on copying other models of android phones. (in no way is this a bad thing). I would like to see some focus on improving what we already have in our hands.

Im no code writer so maybe i just dont get it. Is it tough to make our current model unique and better? Why does it seem the focus went away from the cheesy on board camera and video when this phone is capable of HD quality imaging? Ill bet its boring. I have add so i would rather do something fun like make a droid than tweak the current bland camera. i dont know. im hoping to be enlightened.

heres the thing.. its cool to show off my Droid to my dumb Verizon and Att subscribing friends and its sweet to say i hacked my phone. But, when my twin daughters are playing in the yard with our dog and i cant get a decent picture to save for ever.. i ask myself... why bother?

ok. Thank you btw for all of the hard work done to date. I mean thanks to every Developer. i dont have my signature prepared yet with my phone mods.. ill do that next

BTW, i am a T-Mobile Senior Engineer. (GSM and UMTS). if anyone has questions on the actual network, RF environment, Core, GSM, GPRS, EDGE, R99, WCDMA, HSDPA, HSDPA+, or whatever... i may be able to help answer some questions.

Regards,

3g.johnny

If you like the Camera from a previous build, you could pull it out of the rom zip and just push it onto your phone over your existing camera through ADB.

Is there anyway to use the regular launcher that doesn't have compact drawer layout?
[G1 Android Development] psguardian:
Damn its the loooong way around but it works

this in the end fixed it & got my MT3G updated to maps 3.2.1... the 2nd command gave me "failure" a few times but eventually it went through. remember folks (blushes with embarrassment) the Unix environment IS CAP SENSITIVE so that last command should be Maps.apk NOT maps.apk lol.

Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen." I re-installed the update and I am still having the same problem please can some Help me????? PLEASE HELP???

thank you for your time if you can help me..

If you're willing to spend a little more on your phone, you should look into getting an unlocked Magic or Dream from Rogers in Canada. Rogers uses the same 3G bands as AT&T does. If you get a T-Mobile G1 you won't be able to use 3G on AT&T, you'll be stuck with edge, and that's just not cool especially if you wanna use the new Nav :-)

Plus, if you get the Rogers Magic, it comes with more RAM so you'll not need to do any of the funky SD card partitioning that mt3g and g1 users have to do.

Old camera won't work on new CM

I've tried this but it doesn't work. The camera.apk file is not recognized. I guess it must be related to the android version (cupcake vs. donut).

Black screen

I just upgraded from 4.2.5 and get a black screen after the android loading screen and nothing happens even after 15-20 minutes.

I've tried wiping and reinstalling several times but no good.

Am I in trouble? Any suggestions?

Delete Email from Notification Menu

Don't know if this is the correct forum to be submitting this...

This is a recommendation for future builds of this ROM. I've always wanted to be able to delete emails from the Notification Menu instead of going into my gmail account and deleting from there. It would be nice to be able to just long-press the email in the Notification Menu and have it deleted.

If there's already a way to do this, please let me know!

Thanks everyone.
[G1 Android Development] Proxin:
Am I the only one having this problem?

I can't see protected or paid apps on the Market.

This happened only *after* upgrading to 4.2.6 from 4.2.5.

Now even if I recover to earlier versions, I don't see any paid apps.

Google Maps

Hi ^^

i have the GOOGLE MAPS problem!!! i installed then cyanogenmod 4.2.6 and i've tried everything (terminal emulator mount -o remount,rw /system (permission denied [no root]), wipe, fix_permission)

i can't update google maps.

please help me.
[G1 Android Development] :
running zipalign from terminal (on phone)

If I want to zipalign individual applications, what do I need to do besides the obvious?

That is, I know I do: zipalign 4 app.apk app-aligned.apk

But what are the other steps, if any, to make sure that I can cleanly replace app.apk with app-aligned.apk? Do I need to clean out any caches? Nuke any other files? Goal is that after aligning an app, I can click on it as normal and not have breakage.

I'd like to do the alignment and post-processing from the command line. I'm running the latest CM unstable.

I understand Unix dev environments in general, but very little about the Android specific features.

I'd appreciate it if someone could spell out the steps for me, or point me at something to help me figure them out.

Problem

I installed cyanogenmod 4.2.6 and first time mt3g boots normally and seem everything is working fine (market,mail etc.), but after reboot phone stuck in green my touch screen and i have to remove battery to restart it. I tried to install several times and this not helps :confused:
[G1 Android Development] RAQemUP:
This should fix people's issue having problems updating Google Maps from the Market or those who have the uninstall option for Google Maps missing.

01. Open up the "Terminal Emulator" app on your G1.

At the prompt type:

02. su

03. mount -o remount,rw /system/

04. rm /system/sd/app/*maps*

05. rm /system/sd/app/*Maps*

06. rm /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*maps*

07. rm /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*Maps*

08. rm /system/app/*maps*

09. rm /system/app/*Maps*

10. rm /data/app/*maps*

11. rm /data/app/*Maps*

12. rm /data/dalvik-cache/*maps*

13. rm /data/dalvik-cache/*Maps*

14. reboot

15. Go to "Market" and search for "Google Maps" and install it. Should install just fine now.

This will erase all traces of Google Maps off your phone and should fix whatever issues anyone is having. This worked for me on CM 4.2.6.

Edit: Don't freak out if a error message pops up when you try to do the rm command to remove *maps* or *Maps*. All that means is that there were no files to erase. Just keep continueing on to each next step.
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
My MT3G never had this problem but I did this on my friends and it worked yesterday. I should have posted this when I did it lol =D

Oh well, thanks for posting.
[G1 Android Development] javon27:
Facebook missing

You're not the only one having problems with missing Facebook. I'm pretty sure you added the Droid Facebook app through an Update.zip like I did, or at least pushed it to your /system/app.

Either way, upgrading to 4.2.6 causes the phone to not recognize the app. It's there, but the phone won't let you uninstall or open it from market, or any app manager, for that matter. I tried removing any possible instance of *facebook* from

/system/sd/app

/system/sd/dalvik-cache

/system/app

/data/app

/data/dalvik-cache

but no luck. even cleared data and cache from market and anything else that i thought had any kind of relation to why i can't update it or remove it.

So, I had to revert back to my backup of 4.2.5, but I can't even uninstall it via adb from there. Can't uninstall it from market because it is a system app.

Any help with this matter is greatly appreciated, guys. Thanks.

hehehehehehheehe
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
The problem is that it is in the system folder, which needs to be mounted as rw to delete facebook.apk.

If you want to delete and reinstall, place your facebook apk on the root of the sdcard and type the following into the terminal.

su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/app/facebook.apk
cp /sdcard/facebook.apk /system/app/facebook.apk
reboot
[G1 Android Development] RAQemUP:
Really? That's odd. All those commands do is remove all traces of maps on your phone and also uninstalls the current Google Maps on your phone. When done correctly, Google Maps will show up to install from the market as a free app as if you never had it on your phone to begin with.

If you tried rebooting, you could go to this post. It has the current Google Maps .apk that you can download and manually install from your phone.
[G1 Android Development] That_Guy:
I just did the manual install and it worked. IDK what was with the version from the market.
[G1 Android Development] j.books:
hmmm. 4.2.6 a no-go on my phone

ok.. this has never happened to me before but 4.2.6 didn't work too well on my phone. i've been using cyanogen since 4.0.4 and nothing has ever gone wrong. but this time, after an hour or two, the phone rebooted on its own and when it did, it didn't recognize my apps2sd anymore. I manually rebooted, and same thing. luckily I had a nandroid backup of 4.2.5 and all is well. I guess i'll stick with 4.2.5 for now and maybe just wait til cyan releases an eclair build...

edit: of course, I didn't try wiping. that would likely take care of it. but i'm happy enough with 4.2.5 for now, it runs great.
[G1 Android Development] javon27:
just for clarification, the apk name is "com.facebook.katana.apk"

I'm currently upgrading and after it's done, i'll follow your instructions. Thanks

[G1 Android Development] javon27:
i don't know what i did differently, but i tried following your instructions and couldn't find any instance of *facebook* anywhere. so i went ahead and typed (in adb):

adb install /sdcard/com.facebook.katana.apk /system/app

that did the trick.

now to update the map!

p.s. thanks for not flaming me for something that (seems) none rom related.

update: ummm.... i don't know why, but i go into the market to upgrade my maps, but the market seems to think i don't have maps installed already. I wonder if it has anything to do with them being named differently? i.e. droid maps is Maps.apk and the one in the market is Google Maps? I'm downloading and hoping it installs. if so, i guess i'll have to manuall remove the droid maps.

I can't even flash back to stock spl to go back to rc29. The phone works but I'm stuck on this dev firmware. I searched all over and haven't found a working solution.

You can use winrar or 7zip and have it compress and separate the file at a predetermined size (like 4 10mb files and 1 5mb file instead of 1 45mb file). It's pretty easy to do just check the settings before you compress

SWAP on the latest versions of cyanogenmod

Ive looked through this forum and have not been able to find an answer to my question yet. swap is disabled on the current versions of CyanogenMod, how can I re-enable it? I have a 32mb swap partition on the sdcard, "free" shows 0 total swap, "swapon -a" does not seem to mount the swap partition. I'm sure its something simple and obvious but I haven't been able to answer this myself.

i wasnt having any major problems with 4.2.6 but the last 2 days i have had people tell me that they were trying to call me but it would ring once and then hang up. one time my bluetooth acted like the phone was about to start ringing but then stopped. It turns out the phone is actually dropping the call before i answer it so its not even sending the call to voice mail. going back to 4.2.5 untill the next update.

Cyanogen can't fix the donut camera.apk because it's not the open source part of android he's allowed to mess with. I'm with you, though. The HTC camera from the cupcake builds was great. The donut camera is poop. I got sick and tired of it crashing my phone so I found "Camera Magic" on the market and installed it. It has working zoom and effects controls and it doesn't crash my phone every time I use it. I still have the donut camera for the camcorder feature, but I use Camera Magic for stills.

Are you sure you don't accidentally have your contact setting on your phone set to "incoming call goes straight to voicemail"?

Go to contacts and click on a contact that it is happening to. The straight to voicemail option is at the bottom of the edit contact option.
