a few posts back i said i was having issues with this theme and was gonna leave it for a while and revisit it later to try again. well yesterday was "later". interesting, i downloaded 4.2.5 and all was well. checked the phone 4.2.5 installed. cm updater showed 4.2.5 as the installed rom. well this morning i noticed that the phone and cm updater both said i had 4.2.4 installed. hmmm!
[G1 Android Development] cojonesx:
I don't have this problem with 4.2.5, brings up the gallery for me
[G1 Android Development] odomandr:
for me it brings up the gallery but it includes a lot of icons for other things like the maps push pins and others.
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
On CM 4.2.5, Sync has disappeared from settings

I have gone through and put a build.prop (all from the base ones) and changed the fingerprint for Navigation

Beyond that, I have no idea why it would disappear

Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] PorchSong:
Create an empty file named .nomedia and place this file in the directories with pictures in it that you do not want gallery to see. Include the "." in .nomediia. For those of you not familiar with a "." before a file or directory, it tells linux to hide the file/directory.

Also, if you put .nomedia in a directory it is recursive. So put it in top directory. As of worrying if you do this that you will hide the icons from the programs that need them, not true as the programs that need them know where to look.
[G1 Android Development] Chedderknight:
just wondering, but has anyone else lost complete usb function other than charging? I've tried on several comps with different ports. no idea whats up, was working before previous to 4.2.4
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Enter the Gallery at least once before trying to create the widget on the home screen. That should fix it.. do it a couple of times if necessary, let it load through (took me two tries!). The same method helped me sort out FCs when choosing a wallpaper from the gallery for the first time.

People with FC on apps that use the gallery, could try the same. . Don't know if I'll help, haven't had any (FCs) of the sorts...
[G1 Android Development] folwanmojo:
The same is going on for me, wiped several times and still haven't found a fix.
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Happened to me once, I remember I had to uninstall, then install the driver again.. Took me a while too, as it didn't work out the first few times.

Cyans Mod with Nav

So I have had the new 4.2.5 mod and had the nav working and then all of a sudden I lost nav capabilities ... no worries, I just reinstalled the nav and good to go right? Well, yes, but no ... Now it is saying that I am running 4.2.4 of Cyans mod. Am I missing something? Is this even the right place to post this? Thanks Guys
[G1 Android Development] JaMoFo:
Similar happened to me running 4.2.4 said i was running 4.2.3.1 after i installed navigation. I ended up wiping and putting in 4.2.5 and re doing nav.

If nav isnt working try pressing "clear data" under settings | Manage applications. That got the Navigate button working again for me.
[G1 Android Development] mattguzman73:
Well that kinda defeats the whole "CM Updater". Bummer. Oh well, trying to install the 425 again (via the update) and see what happens. It's weird though, after I did the initial update, the nav worked no probs, then it was gone today. Several days after the update. Not sure, but I will try the clear data and see if that works if I loose it again. Thanks for that info.
[G1 Android Development] Julies Brnz G1:
Keeps rebooting

After 3 or 4 days of updating to the 4.2.5 my G1 is rebooting over and over, it will not quit rebooting. I've pulled the battery and tried, no help. Pulled the sim card, and the sd card. I can't figure out why it keeps rebooting. :(

Can somebody please help me?

Thanks! : )
[G1 Android Development] timal:
Backup everything on your PC. Reformat and partition the sd and reinstall.
[G1 Android Development] Jayrod1980:
Since switching mine has not rebooted, but it has shut off unexpectedly. It got to a point where I thought I bricked the phone because I couldn't even get it to stay on to reflash in cyanogen recovery. I thought it might have been puting on the droid map nav program had something to do with it but then noticed something else. The phone booted and stayed poweredon while plugged in. You might think that I'm being retarded but the phone would always indicate that I had at least half battery life. Is this something to do with the rom or something I can get the phone to accurately fix on my own. Wiping has had no effect. I never had this problem prior to loading the 2.0 droid hack google maps app.
[G1 Android Development] JaMoFo:
4.2.5 reporting 4.2.3.1

Running 4.2.5 since release date and now my phone says its running 4.2.3.1 today

also says:

Model number : Droid

Firmware version 2.0

Anybody have a clue what happened? Was i supposed to do a wipe maybe?
[G1 Android Development] Smokuevo:
you were messing around with build prop for navigation to work.. its not this ROM's fault.
[G1 Android Development] Chance Ill:
mine did the exact same thing!!! i know its a pain in the a**, but i wipe EVERYTHING before i flash. it prevents unnecessary problems.
[G1 Android Development] JaMoFo:
Yes, i was :)

should i wipe and flash or just wait for the next cyanogen release? i assume all is good except how it reports the version?
[G1 Android Development] alilbitanuthin:
I was getting random reboots as well after I installed navi on my phone. After that I did a clean install and reinstalled 4.2.5. I just installed navi again a few minutes ago. I can confirm that it is saying Droid, Android 2.0 and cm_4.2.3.1. So far its running fine but I have a feeling that installing Google navi might be the reason for the reboots......... :(
[G1 Android Development] thepoetvd776:
This latest build runs like a dream, the only problem i see, is that lets say you call t-mobile or some company that requires you press the keypad to enter your code or whatever.

If you bring up the keypad while in call, it doesn't work. It's very weird. I tried it twice and the same problem resulted.

It's not that big of deal just something to keep a note of.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
You guys are using the old build.prop's and stuff for when we got it working for 4.2.3.1. Let me modify 4.2.5's for you

This should fix it just let me know

http://www.4shared.com/file/155642561/77004d3d/buildtrout.html

Just set your phone's time to 11:59 p.m. and wait 'til 12:01
[G1 Android Development] 2311:
Hi, just wanted to report a few bugs I've been experiencing ever since 4.2.x, and because I did something different (reflash) and they still occur. I never had these problems in 4.1.x.

I've been experiencing spontaneous reboots about once a day, and also about once a day screen locked to black and I need to force the phone to turn off by removing the battery, then turn it back on.

I recently got a new SDCARD and I had problems trying to get my apps to work. To make a long story short, I ultimately wiped and reflashed my phone with the htc recovery and the mod again, I am still experiencing the same problems of black screen lockups and spontaneous reboots.

I run no themes, mods, or wallpaper rotaters. FYI: I use the next version of CM almost the day it comes out, so I am always up to date.

Hope this helps and doesn't congest the thread, apologies if it does.
[G1 Android Development] bobbybooshay:
i've had this bug throughout various builds and im just reporting it in:

from twidroid or browser, i will click onto a youtube video - opening with the youtube app.

on bigger/longer videos i will press home or try to exit with the back button with no response... then a few seconds later - the phone will reboot.

[G1 Android Development] tangtc465:
Hi there,

I have a problem with my phone.

Since I upgrade to CM 4.2.5, there is no problem, every activities is very fast.

And today, when others call to my phone, sometimes, it vibrates with sound but screen donot wake up even I press menu button. Sometimes, it only vibrates without sound.

Is anyone concern this problem like me?

(Yesterday I used Acessibility\Talkback, but I turned it off already)
[G1 Android Development] dj_blueshift:
Been having this problem as well. Almost NOTHING is being recognized when I speak commands or do the voice texting in handcent. Handcent also brings up frequent errors about having a "connection problem" when I try to bring up the voice input.

Checking the mini waveform displayed after recording a voice command from Voice Dialer, it seems like the incoming audio is being interpreted EXTREMELY loudly and causes the recognition to fail.

I was able to work out some marginal recognition by speaking very softly, but of course, this is not practical.
[G1 Android Development] chdrummerdude:
i have upgraded to 4.2.5 everything works great. only complaint is that i cant access my recovery console. any help?
[G1 Android Development] flamerider88:
An ACTUAL bug (not a repeat of the last 100 bugs posted)

Finally time for something new right?! I'm pretty sure this problem falls into Cyan's lap not my theme's. When i receive a message (Or any notification) it vibrates and everything (or Ringtone when sound is on ((Or nothing when sound is off))) -BUT- No backlight? Remember when we all fiirrrssssttt got the G1 it had this issue i believe? same thing.. everything's fine (Notification light even blinks) but the screen just doesnt turn on!

-Thanks
[G1 Android Development] oldsk00lz:
testing update and responses......

Okay, first things first.

Status on 4.2.5.

1) Battery Life seems to be down from 4.2.4 and below. Whether I am runnig Compcache or not. Could it be the spare parts/snimations? Maybe, i will turn it off and see.

- I am talking 10hours MAX if I throw in GPS/Nav, etc. Normally had 15+.

2) Had an important confernec cal to make, and made call, BUt COULD NOT ENTER ANY KEYCODES, as the dialpad, double-tap, etc didn't work. After a bit of frustration and cursing (sorry), and calling other numbers, I finally got it to work. 10 minute frustration period.

3) Did have a time where I couldn't drag icons to edge and pull up next menu.

4) Tonight had an MS friend checking out my phone, and went to gallery. UNBEARBLY slow in bringing up images in gallery.... Of course, now as of this post (by myself) it pops right up.

5) Nav worked great with a new fingerprint. (cough, wasn't me)

Now some replies...............

Me too on the recent build. I did finally turn on some naimations from Spare Parts... Will turn it off and see if still eats eats eats at battery.

Works for me, make sure you have the right ADB version (i.e. 1.6)

Hmm... my battery is affected too so it seems.

I went through that in early Hero days. Knew Cyanogen had the best "dev" versus just "rom cooking", with speed enhancements, etc. Once I went back to CM, I havenlt looked back at hero... okay, I did a couple burns, but alwats had my CM nandroid ready for day to day use. ;)

Good to see you still around Janis.. ;) :O

Cheers all....................

[G1 Android Development] mobile_luke:
I've got exacly this same problem! :/

Can answer incomming call, but screen is still black :/

Can't figure it out how to fix it :/
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
It's been a semi-random issue the last couple versions. Cyanogen found a fix for it though:

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=647#c112

join #cyanogenmod if you need help installing the file.

ETA: er, this is a fix for the issue you were quoting, vibe on incomming and total lockup; but it may fix your problem too.
[G1 Android Development] traspler:
Yesterday I had two very nasty incidents with the 4.2.5 ROM.

I received a call and as soon as I accepte it and said "Hi..." the phone rebooted. After the reboot, the caller called again and I answered again but after I accpeted the call, the phone just froze and kept on vibrating. The Line was ok and I could talk to the caller but the phone was constantly vibrating and I could end the call nor do anything else without taking the battery out...
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Read the post above yours.

/Mats
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Hah! Not quite that new.. But can you wake your device up? Or does it just appear dead?

Check out the issues 329 and 560 in the bug tracker, this kinda sounds similar.

Second: Quote from Cyanogen's disclaimer:

Are you sure it is not the theme? Did you give it a try without it?
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
Also: this should apply if you have done anything to get nav working.
[G1 Android Development] bryant_16:
hey guys, after updating to 4.2.5, my gallery wont work anymore. when i click on the gallery icon, it went in and came out to the main screen again.

when i try to access picture files from file manager, the same problem occured. any help please?

i just found out that, camera and camcorder are not working too!
[G1 Android Development] secure_6:
<br>

<br>

And it goes on and on.. What I'm pointing out with all these quotes is that my question/challenge/frustration HAS NEVER BEEN SOLVED... I looked on bug trackers... searched here, there (Cy's site) everywhere before posting here... If I I lost my keys.... and people say "uuuh where'd you lose them or did you check your pockets" can frustrate most people... that's kinda what I'm getting here. And yes.. 9/10 times the answer was that simple.. it jjust hasnt been for me.

I love this community... yes I'm new to it and am venting...not out of anger but frustration I just don't want more questions or comments to my questions... just solutions... and yes... I wiped... started from scratch, etc... except that Dalvik thing which I kno nothing of.
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
Maybe nobody has a solution?

If I was missing messages on a regular basis I'd probably revert back to the last known good version and/or try to figure out what the problem is on my own.

There's at least one bug in the tracker for missed SMS, but no 'solutions'.

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=717

What I have not seen anyone provide is logs from around the time that they missed texts.

Random bugs like this are a PITA and a half to figure out, and while the complaints are widespread, the information isn't.

ETA: You might want to try pushing the default mms.apk from a stock rom (the DRC83_rooted_base or userdebug-ota-whatever from htc) to see if it's something in the 'enhanced' messaging client CM uses.
[G1 Android Development] Beast84:
Thanks I tried clearing the cache but that didn't work so then I cleared the data & that fixed it right up. Thanks for the response tho.
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Hell yeah..

@cyanogen: I vote these two be reinstated in the OP. Obviously, neither asking kindly (by yourself), nor yelling (like a few others) doesn't work. Maybe a big writing in bold red would do it.. It seems people forgot about/are new to, the post C&D development.
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
If you want to clear the dalvik-cache, just make sure /system/sd is mounted as read-write, and do this:

rm -r /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*

But what PsychoI3oy said about replacing the mms.apk might be your best bet. You can even pull it out of one of Cyanogen's previous builds, maybe one that worked for you? It is located in /system/app/Mms.apk

Furthermore, you don't have to flash the build to extract it, you can look for it in the .zip update file.
[G1 Android Development] landstander:
Also, Amon Ra's recovery image (RA-dream, currently at version 1.3.2) includes a menu entry for clearing dalvik-cache. I'm not sure if Cyanogen's recovery image, upon which RA-dream is based, has this feature or not.
[G1 Android Development] pensive:
A very disconcerting occurrence.

Yesterday I take my TMO G1 out of my pocket and (I was running the 4.2.5) and it shows me the google.com registration screen as if all my data got wiped.

I check a few apps (the browser for example) and it looks my data is wiped.

The browser user data is all default now. Also some apps can no longer be launched. After I registered with google there was some stupid email from google about the 1.6, blah, blah. Also in the terminal when I su, the su app never comes back it just hangs.

I've recovered almost completely from this event, but I have serious concerns now about the security and ability of TMO to push stuff to my phone even when

I am running custom ROM.

Anyone else had anything like that.
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Camera and Camcorder are working fine.

I did have one FC on the first start of the Camera, but then it went away.

I said this already. Gallery is "buggy", and most apps that use it will crash, unless you enter the Gallery first and let it cache the images.

In your case, since you can not even enter it - sorry, the only response is wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik-cache, and re-flash the ROM. Then enter the gallery at least once, before using any apps that depend on it.

If you don't want to do this, then try clearing any cache related to gallery (from your phone), and also dig into:

/data/dalvik-cache

/system/sd/dalvik-cache

and possibly other places, but I can't be sure this will help you. Maybe someone else can fill in?
[G1 Android Development] bryant_16:
Erm.. Can I just reflash the rom without wiping the data?

If I want to wipe and start everything again, how do I go about doing it?
[G1 Android Development] billdangerous:
Phone Screen Locked

Hi,

Thanks Cyanogen for your Great Job.

I have only one problem, during a phone call keyboard is locked and I am unable to press buttons... it does not respond. Screen is ok, because I can change options thanks to menu button (bluetooth, add to blacklist...), but it is impossible to press digits.

Is there a workaround ? (I tried to search on this forum, but I found nothing).

Thank you in advance

Bill
[G1 Android Development] bryant_16:
Latest update: I tried to reflash the rom without wiping the data but to no avail.

Now I guess I need to wipe the data and start everything again. How do I go about doing it?
[G1 Android Development] Babaki:
exactly. maybe you should put the official tmobile rom back on your phone and test it out for a few days. see if your problem goes away or not.

considering you and maybe 1 other person on here are the only ones i ever see complaining about this issue, perhaps its not the ROM.
[G1 Android Development] Babaki:
when you boot up to the recovery menue, select "wipe data". then apply the rom.
[G1 Android Development] roman2113:
Trackball Glow

Coming from a hero rom I was hesitant about trying out this rom because love all the hero features but after switching I gotta say the speed and response of this rom made it all worth it for me. Not to mention landscape for the home screen which is great! The only question I have is...is there a way to have the trackball glow when I have a missed call or sms like it does in the hero rom. That seems to be the only feature I'm really missing. Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] bryant_16:
Hey guys, I have already wiped the data, but I still cant access gallery and camera... Do I need to format the SD card too?
[G1 Android Development] 808xplode:
TY,

runs great

keep up geat the work
[G1 Android Development] vincom2:
I have this issue too, actually. Guess that makes 3 of us :\
[G1 Android Development] QMAN101:
I have this problem as well. The easy solution (if you have a hard keyboard) is to use the number keys on the keyboard.
[G1 Android Development] disaacs:
T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app

First off, thanks Cyanogen for all your awesome work! My G1 is head and shoulders above what it used to be.

Question -- I'm running 4.2.5, and everything works great. Very fast. Only issue is the Visual Voicemail app no longer shows up in my app list. When I try to reinstall it from the market, both the "Open" and "Uninstall" buttons are grayed out. I ran fix_permissions, thinking that might help, but no luck. Any suggestions? Or anywhere I can download the app (or someone want to email it to me?) and then try installing without using the market?

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] Demian87:
Is it possible to add a default htc dialer to the ROM? I can not find it separately(

I'm talking about the default dialer from Rogers HTC Magic.

I like it, but I can not find any instructions how to get it((
[G1 Android Development] roman2113:
You should be able to pull the apk from the other rom and push it using adb or terminal.
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Then you too, should try the suggested. :/

The more the merrier ;) Maybe one of you could post a log, before you try the official Donut?

The best place to post the log though, is in the bug tracker:

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
It's like a rule of thumb with the CM... If your Google apps are FCing, clear their data (cache). Fix permissions, too. This may just be in the first post *cough.

Worse comes to worst: wipe and re-flash.

Yeah... it's been mentioned like 200 times in the thread too. :D

Now... if this solves it.. then you HAVE to edit that post haha!:D j/k
[G1 Android Development] no6969el:
this rom is the ****

YO just wanted to stop in to let you all know after a week or so with this rom Ive had no issues, i do reboot every night just because why not I say.. it ALWAYS runs faster after a reboot and if you can do something so simple to make your rom fly why not.. all apps work perfectly, thank you for everything looking forward (but not needed) to the next update!!!

Oh anyone having issues, randomly read through atleast 15 pages... out of all of them and im sure you will find a solution!!! and also if it takes longer to find your awnser than looking through 15 random pages then why dont you just wipe.. you will spend less time fixing everything back to the way you want then spending with an issue trying to find a solution.... word!!

i have cyan 4.04 and i am trying to upgrade to 4.2.5. i followed the directions on the wiki after all the steps the phone starts and shows the updating then after the boot goes to the system recovery and stays there the bottom of the screen says formatting cache and just stays there... what am i doing wrong...it has been on this screen for about 20 mins
[G1 Android Development] bryant_16:
clear their data (cache) = how to do it?
[G1 Android Development] quincywatson_86:
what's up everyone? i got a question. now i know cayogen 4.2.5 does a automatic app2sd but for some reason my apps are still getting installed on the phone memory. i restarted the phone after evertime i installed an app and they are still on the phone memory. can some one give me a detail way of installing apps on my sdcard? im rather new to linux. been using windows all my life so. i really like the g1. rooting it was really easy but i just cant get the app2sd thing right.
[G1 Android Development] Xidroid:
You have a partitioned SD card with an ext partition on it right? Without that nothing will happen.
[G1 Android Development] quincywatson_86:
to be honest. i dont even know how to partition my sdcard
[G1 Android Development] spigatelli:
Have you flashed 4.2.5 yet or just the base rom? If you have already flashed the 4.2.5, then press home and back to reboot and you are done.
