Tidying up the GitHub repository and developer Wiki

@cyanogen Are you done cleaning up the GitHub repository or do we still have redundant files/branches?

I would like to help write a developer oriented wiki (either on GitHub or cyanogenmod.com) for compiling CM from source. I assume you have the latest code up there. Thanks for all your hard work!

What do you think?

-------------------------

Running CM Cm v4.1.999
[G1 Android Development] roxthiaguin:
Hey @cyanogen

In your detailed explanation of how to use these 2 last rom updates...

You say that we HAVE to wipe...

I`m on 4.1.99 (upgrading to 4.1.999 now) and didn`t wipe (followed all the instructions, instaled the HTC Recovery and your rom next) and my google apps are working fine!

Is there anything I have to worry about if I didn`t wipe?

Thanks for all your hard work man!
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
oh ok cool :) after i get my new G1 working... definitely gonna flash 4.2
[G1 Android Development] kusotare:
The wipe is only required for the apps to work after the upgrade to 4.1.99. Versions subsequent to 4.1.99 (e.g. 4.1.999 and later as cyanogen releases them) wont require a wipe unless you really want to, just like old times.
[G1 Android Development] opasha:
learn to read....

"If you are already running CM-4.1.99+, you can ignore the steps below and just flash!"

where does it say wipe? no where except below....soooooo you just FLASH!
[G1 Android Development] xidominicanoix:
according to the guy from SimpleHelp.net (cyan posted a link in his OP), he didnt wipe either and everything ran perfectly ...

i dont have the time now to fix my phone in case something goes awry, but will def be updating as soon as i get home from school tomorrow :D .. thanks for all the hard work cyan
[G1 Android Development] kamikaze2311:
Bro Roxthiaguin,

i already flash using 4.1.999 without wipe from 4.1.99, and it works but still laggy ...and intend for reboot twice again from now...i hope after reboot the ROM will be stable and fast like a charm... *please pray for me* lol
[G1 Android Development] aryndar:
jeez, 4 others answered this as I was typing.
[G1 Android Development] roxthiaguin:
No, its not just that lol

Its...I never wiped since I started using cyanogen rom

and...when I came from 4.1.11.1 to 4.1.99 I didn`t wipe too (and cyanogen itself said that it would be necessary to have google apps working ok)

is there a problem if I haven`t wipe my G1 when I went to 4.1.99? (and no, I`m not having any problem with any app, not even google apps)
[G1 Android Development] tnt8902:
Unlucky and who else

I'm haveing trouble trying to download the 1.6 recovery image from the htc dev website, is it possible if someone post a mirror. It makes my browser close on its own on my dream. And to add I don't have a computer either......
[G1 Android Development] opasha:
wow....wasn't that productive. we answered the same question more than twice. as i was posting someone just posted so my bad for posting again, but you guys that followed again to answer the question....seriously? do you want to piss cyan off with repetition? i clearly posted the simple instructions in bold that CYANOGEN wrote in his OP. that is enough. if you want to explain things further, edit your previous post. don't clutter this thread. he already said he's leaving XDA thanks to every retard who can't read and search in here.
[G1 Android Development] aryndar:
fix_permissions first, then wipe when/if you have problems
[G1 Android Development] Melo.One:
Cyan you work fast, man...I flashed 4.1.99 today and am enjoying it, and now I just get the tweet of 4.1.999, guess I'll be flashing once again during lunchbreak tomorrow...Thanks for you hard work it's really appreciated...

Well after updating to 4.2.6 my Google Maps navigation is not there antmore and new Maps from Market doesn't install even after removing existing Maps application. Anybody with same issue?
[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
Does vibrate work for incoming phone calls? I ask because I believe the vibrator is part of your battery pack and it may be a hardware issue, not ROM related.

ive lost market once i try to update to v4.2.6. i have tried wiping, reformatted partitions, and fix permissions but nothing. any help would be appreciated

[G1 Android Development] teewunz:
How do I use terminal emulation to run commands? I tried typing a simple command like "ls" and then press Enter on the HTC IME keyboard but this doesn't do anything, it doesn't even goto new line, stays on the line that I typed "ls" - therefore, question is how to execute a cmd in the terminal?
[G1 Android Development] grandomegabosses:
not to be a jerk or anything, but this isn't the place to be asking this sort of question. Q&A is where you want to be. although, if you don't know how to enter terminal commands, you might want to do some more research before going much further into this.
[G1 Android Development] docsparks:
I didnt want to say anything, as to not clutter XDA, but anyway,

I am NOT expericing this issue. I had 4.2.5 with the Nav fix,

waited for 4.2.6, flashed it WITHOUT wipe, went to market,

downloaded maps, nav was there, ran fine.
[G1 Android Development] teewunz:
Well reason for my question is because I am trying to do this:

Thanks for the updating, although I did have my hopes up for some new new features. I am not experiencing any issues, good job!
[G1 Android Development] tsiah:
I have that problem as well...everything that was Google proprietary is now broken...I came from 4.2.5, used CM updater on the phone, updated and rebooted. Now no gmail, market, dialer force closes...:(
[G1 Android Development] NiteShdw:
Updating to 4.2.6 failed miserably. Logcat shows that Dalvik VM crashes over and over again when checking "CheckinProvider":

Me, 2. I had to push maps.apk manually.
[G1 Android Development] :
I use the CyanogenMod 1.4 + JF recovery.

Could you tell me where the script is, or what to search for? I didn't find it when looking for an answer to this issue before posting.

Thank you.
[G1 Android Development] harpreet1988:
Have you tried uninstalling the maps from before, then installing the new maps from market?

Those guys who already use the latest cyanogenmod, what about the scrolling in contacts? That was a bit laggy in prevoius version.

Phone will not stop ringing, Black screen, wont wake!!

Everything works perfectly, went from 4.2.5 without a hitch.

But when the phone is sleeping and a call comes in, the phone will just ring and the track ball will blink. I have to remove battery and reboot.

Mytouch 3g

4.2.6 installed

No theme

3 partions (too lazy to reformat to two)

Any one searched this
[G1 Android Development] :
Never mind, I found it.

Here's the post with the script to fix auto rotate.
[G1 Android Development] psguardian:
1 good theme

This theme is quite nice for 4.2.5 & back... I am hoping that he pushes an update shortly (i miss my lock screen)
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
Known issue across a few versions. You can see the latest iteration, marked as fixed in 4.2.6, here: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=647

But, after flashing 4.2.6, my phone experienced the issue again on my third incoming call. I got it while the phone was asleep and while the screen was active. Because I haven't wiped in forever, I reformatted my SD, wiped, flashed 4.2.6, and then started reloading my handful of apps (I only have like five or six.) I'm hoping reformatting SD helps resolve the issue, as its something I've never done. We'll see how this works out Monday during work when receiving calls, etc.

This is really the only issue I have with the ROM. Everything else works well. Never lags. No problems. Hope this helps.
[G1 Android Development] heyyyitsjordan:
Usb debugging happens to me too... its not a big deal. I just ignore it. Unpartition your sd card from your computer. Unmount from your phone, put the microsd card into the fullsize sdcard adapter. Put that in your computer, open up my computer, right click on the sd card, click format, make sure its fat32 and use default file allocation size. Make sure you back up any data on ur sdcard before you format. Also, some of those themes can be really buggy. I stopped using themes cuz it made my phone slow and it almost bricked my phone. Some themes are based on older versions of cyanogenrom, which could cause the instability. If it gets real bad, unroot and reroot the phone

Pm me if u still need help and i can walk you through step by step
[G1 Android Development] psionicx:
just upgraded from 4.2.5 without wipe on my HTC Magic 32A, everything's working great and no problems with google apps etc. and its faster now, just like it was on 4.2.3.1! Good job cyan!
[G1 Android Development] kadmielm:
4.2.6 broke GMail

My GMail is broke as well. What's worse is that a roll back to 4.2.5 doesn't solve the problem.
[G1 Android Development] G1sanju:
Plug it into the charger and reboot the phone. It happened 3-4 builds before with me and reboot while charger was plugged in fixed the issue.
[G1 Android Development] Sisqo:
just rooted my g1 and installed 4.2.6 rom for the first time, i ran into some problems, but i managed to resolve them after reading and reading:)

cyanogen, you can put this also in your instalation guide, in downgrading step:

after i've copied the rc7 nbh (it's a g1 from austria i think:) ), in the bootloader it said 'not allow'. i had to use QMAT 424 and a wm based device (i was lucky i had my htc raphael:) ) to get sd card serial. then the DREAIMG.NBH was recognized.

after that, it booted and asked me to sign in/register google account, but i didn't had 3g network, and didn't had wifi connection..i got panicated, searched more and more, and managed to setup the apn edge settings enabling adb service.

home screen appeared and got root and after that the steps were easy.

hope this would help anyone who encountered same problem as me, i think i did a pretty good job taking into consideration that it was my first time rooting and flashing a android based device:)
[G1 Android Development] bengrulz:
go into settings, applications, development, then uncheck usb debugging!
[G1 Android Development] Asif4783:
yeah kinda same problem here.

4.2.6 completely broke my phone! :-( after installing the update and rebooting acore

process kept force closing. I went back to 4.2.5 and still same problem.

I've done a wipe and need to enter my gmail account details on phone start , but it doesn't sync with google as google partnet setup is force closing still (from 1st cyanogen update! wtf man .. what is going on .. this update has completely screwed my g1 :-(
[G1 Android Development] pactive73:
cm update

Hay FYI I can't cm updater 2 updat 4.2.6 says md not sign??? So did from computer haha that and goood work glad 2 see you still at it
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
I see two issues here that are semi-related:

If you have issues with google apps, re-flash the 1.6 base of your chosing then flash CM 4.2.6. This includes gmail, market, sync, and similar issues. Don't do any wiping while doing this, just flash both in a row and reboot.

However, those with problems installing maps from the market will probably have to remove the existing maps and all traces of it manually, then try to install. The consensus is that one or the other of the 1.6 base images out there has an incorrectly signed apk, so even if you never hacked it to get nav two weeks early, you can have the 'unsigned' failure.
[G1 Android Development] k7k0:
Same here, I went back to 4.2.5 and still same problem, but no wipe yet.

I guess it has to do with the widgets in home screen. Anyone knows any way to reset the sync of feeds?

[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
2 questions.

1. Does this latest version fix the wallpaper switching bug? and

2. If coming from 4.2.5 and wanting to wipe everything and start fresh, do I have to flash the htc image again, or will the google apps still be there and I just have to flash 4.2.6?

TIA
[G1 Android Development] Sisqo:
i have no problems

wipe

apply any zip from sd: signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip

apply any zip from sd: update-cm-4.2.6-signed.zip
[G1 Android Development] wilnotdie:
Working really well for me. No problems yet. Downloaded thru cm updater, then update using any zip, without wiping.

Also fixed Myspace lol, thanks. No longer FCs. Once I signed in, and then hit the home key and did something else, once returning to MySpace it would FCs making me reload it and signing in again. Now works perfect.

Tyvm for the rom/build/fixes!

[G1 Android Development] anheuer:
Can anyone explain this to me?

I have 4.2.5 running on my magic.

I installed the cyanogenmod update app.

I noticed that we have moved to to 4.2.6.

So i used the update app,

It downloaded the update.

It Asked me to install, i accepted.

It rebooted, And then i got the screen were you see a phone and a big triangle with an exclimation mark in it.

And thats it.

What is wrong with my devise?

thnx..

* Try to adb in while it's booting, and make sure /data/data/com.android.providers.subscribedfeeds are owned by '1000':

/system/xbin/bb/find /data/data/com.android.providers.subscribedfeeds -ls

* If they're not all 1000/1000, consider running fix permissions in recovery if your recovery supports it. If not:

chown -R 1000.1000 /data/data/com.android.providers.subscribedfeeds

sync;/system/bin/reboot

* If ownership is ok, try nuking the database/prefs, but backup first:

tar cvf /sdcard/ssfeeds.tar /data/data/com.android.providers.subscribedfeeds/*/*.{db,xml}

rm /data/data/com.android.providers.subscribedfeeds/*/*.{db,xml}

sync;/system/bin/reboot

* If that doesn't work, nuke your home screen icons:

tar cvf /sdcard/home.tar /data/data/com.android.launcher/databases/launcher.db

rm /data/data/com.android.launcher/databases/launcher.db

sync;/system/bin/reboot

If that doesn't work, restore backup, or tar /data/ to /sdcard and wipe :P~~

Updated to 4.2.6 this morning via CMUpdater. Installed, and Applied. Automatically rebooted to recovery (using RA 1.3.2 recovery), and upon update application I rebooted my phone and after a significantly longer than usual boot animation, I'm up and running. Everything is stable thus far.

A few specifics about my phone (to help those trying to isolate the source of problems):

-White T-Mobile G1 (can't remember which system board I have, but it's the safer of the two)

-Haykuro's "Danger" SPL (1.33.2005 ported from Sapphire)

-8GB Transcend Class6 microSDHC

-64mb swap, 512mb ext, fat32 remainder partitions

-Running whatever auto-apps2sd the ROM does (I didn't specifically set it up)

-I have my Google calendar widget on the main home screen

-I have the Touchdown calendar widget on the first left home screen

Everything works perfectly for me (so far).

Keep up the good work CM! I'm salivating in anticipation of your 2.0 port for G1.

Has anyone had issues playing videos in recent CM roms? Somewhere between android 1.5 and 1.6 files I've encoded with below broke. While sound plays, the video output is blank:

mencoder "$2" -o "$2.tmp.mp4" -vf dsize=480:352:2,scale=-8:-8,harddup -oac faac -faacopts mpeg=4:object=2:raw:br=128 -of lavf -lavfopts format=mp4 -ovc x264 -x264encopts bframes=0:bitrate=512:threads=auto:global_header
ffmpeg -i "$2.tmp.mp4" -vcodec copy -acodec copy "$2.and.mp4"

I've checked and it's not the ramhack patch, I think it's an android 1.5 -> 1.6 change. Can someone post mencoder/ffmpeg/etc commands that produce videos playable in a recent rom?

Everytime I have ever had an issue or bug in cyanogen's mod, I copy all files from sd card, reformat the sdcard to fat32, go back to RC29, Reroot the phone, then cyanogens recovery then signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip , then cyanogen's mod, then I go ahead and load AmonRa's recovery 1.4.0 and format my sd card, then I like to do the 10mb ram hack, makes this phone so fast. It also worked for the new navigation that use to tell me wrong signed.apk, I did all my steps then redownloaded it and it works now. Anyways Big props to cyanogen for all your hard work, keep up the awesome work.

4.2.6 itself seems like it works well. Thank you Cyan!

I was previously using an Eclair theme; when I attempted to load it on top of 4.2.6 it hung at restart, so I wiped data and reinstalled without it. Any suggestions of eta?

Also, previously, there were little problems with the eclair theme.. others experience these?

YES! I did that! Because now that seems to be the only thing messing up my sd, so far its turned off and I've been good while charging, just never happened b4=/

Also I did fix_perm and got system/app/GoogleSearch.apk does not exist -reinstall

I looked on sufbs and its not even there, but my google browser works fine.

This sd issue only started when I tried to download 4.2.6 from the updater, and plugged my charger in usb wall mount...
