Wow...I've had Power Manager since I got my G1 and that's never happened. I'm not a Linux developer or anything, wish I was. You might try installing it via the developer's instructions:

#

* NOTE: We accept no liability for customers who root their phone.

* What is rooting? Rooting is getting access to the "administrator" account on the device. More information and instructions can be found at http://android-dls.com/wiki

* After root is obtained you need to install the application into the /system/app directory so that it has enough permission to change the location settings. Open a Terminal Emulator app and execute the following command to copy the application to the sdcard (for the full version the name of the application is /data/app/com.acme.android.powermanagerpro.apk):

o su

o cp /data/app/com.acme.android.powermanager.apk /sdcard/PowerManager.apk

If you can't find the application in /data/app try /data/apps-private/

Then, un-install Power Manager from the device

Execute the following commands in the terminal emulator to remount the /system directory as read/write and to install the application into the /system/app directory:

o su

o mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

o cp /sdcard/PowerManager.apk /system/app

If you prefer to use adb from your computer, execute these commands:

o adb remount

o adb shell cp /sdcard/PowerManager.apk /system/app

what rom are you coming from?

try rebooting your phone and try again.

Also try clearing your cache.

If that doesn't work then try a wipe (last resort).
[G1 Android Development] kerauno:
Clear your browser cache in "settings->applications->manage applications->browser

Just flashed from 4.1.9999 On A Dream Handset To 4.2.1, ran fix_permissions after i flashed and tried mostly everything, no problems and to boot, the fastest yet i believe. Thanks Cy.
[G1 Android Development] mrkumquat:
Similar issue here using open home, changing screen orientation would allow it eventually though for me
[G1 Android Development] mrkumquat:
Had that issue once or twice coming from older builds. Getting a loop in the market or does it make the phone lock and soft reboot when you search? For me I had to wipe and reinstall protected apps manually. Coming from most recent build to this was no problem at all with just a flash and fix permission
[G1 Android Development] velotown:
duh this is supposed to be stable? no offense but 4.9999 worked better for me.

always crashing while selecting widgets plus its kind of slow. ill stick with 4.9999 till the next update.

keep up the great work!
[G1 Android Development] ollehal:
No such luck for me with DXtop :(
[G1 Android Development] chickenslut:
Don't get me wrong I really like the HTC IME keyboard, but I think the stock Android keyboard has gotten better. Still not as good, but has gotten better.

Seems like they took some design and usability cues from TouchPal and the IME keyboards.
[G1 Android Development] mrkumquat:
Did the same thing once, took a little while to figure out; what I did eventually was go back to rc29, which didn't allow me to use the flashrec app for some reason. Then if I recall correctly, flashing up to 1.5 allow me to redo the flashrec app to reapply the cm recovery and do a nandroid recovery before flashing new fanciness
[G1 Android Development] gtrplr71:
All this trouble and it was a bad sd card.
[G1 Android Development] ILEoo:
I'm unable to load ipv6-module in cm 4.2.1, it gives unknown symbol __rcu_read_lock and from __rcu_read_unlock. Would be nice have that working.

Ouch.. that one hurt. ... -.-

Clearing the cache and no fcs.. thanks!

Home App Option

I searched for a explanation with no luck.

Can someone briefly explain the home app option?

What does the home app do?

Is this Home process?

Will this help with the home screen delay-lag issue?

Is there a downside to having this option enabled?

Any constructive, informative response is welcome.

4.2.1 very nice, no bugs yet.
[G1 Android Development] harpreet1988:
The "home app" is the launcher. When you press the home button on your phone it takes you from an application to the "home screen" aka launcher.

The home app locked in memory makes the home screen show up instantly when you press home from any application, since if any application takes up too much memory, the phone used to have to load home again, thus lagging for a few seconds when going back to the home screen.

Hope this answers your questions.
[G1 Android Development] Chosen_on184:
From the looks of it .. you now have a stock recovery and a stock phone which means you have to root all ova again .... then reinstall cm recovery image once you get back root then try and flash the new build again ...

its sucks but thats my take on it all
[G1 Android Development] superhansel:
Anyone else's radio acting up at all? I may be being paranoid but phone kept dropping to no signal in a place where, previously, I had no signal issues.
[G1 Android Development] chilln73:
The home app is the desktop screen. The home app kinda manages your icons and widgets on the screen.

I think it's also called the launcher. Not really sure.

Keeping home app in memory means less load/lag time when returning to your home screens from another application.

This could also mean increased load times when loading other applications.

I think Cyanogen put some tweaks in the kernel which speed up the process of ramping up the processor, killing one app, and then launching another. This reduces the cost of keeping the home screen fixed in memory.

People more knowledgeable than me are free to chime and and correct.
[G1 Android Development] Chosen_on184:
hmmmm not sure if anyone answered this already but try this

I finally did a wipe, then re-applied HTC's 1.6 recovery image followed by the actual rom.

I did this process yesterday coming from 4.1.11.1 and all went flawless so just wipe and re do everything over again..... also try and fix your ext in recovery mode after flashing the image .....
[G1 Android Development] polovinamozga:
permanently crashes and forces closes on 4.2.1 :(
[G1 Android Development] jmdrizen:
In what, how did you install? Did you wipe, install the HTC rom as per instructions? What's happening... details :-)
[G1 Android Development] Chosen_on184:
This was a awesome move by cyan .. because older roms i used to dread having to press that home screen and get that black lag screen while it loads back .....

every time he makes a new rom it gets better and better
[G1 Android Development] bobbybooshay:
4.2.1 stable

Hey, i flashed 4.2.1 the day it came out, and it's been running good ever since, no crashes and it runs well without BFS.

Although there is a recurring error when it comes to sending sms messages - sometimes it will notify me that a message i am trying to send didn't go thru, when really it did. (I know it did because they responded to the text message immediately after it told me it didnt go thru.) I dont know if it's a problem with the rom, the sms.apk or carriers. If anyone knows what the deal is - lemme know.

To all the people having epic problems - You're doing it wrong.

Sometimes errors generated while using third party applications may happen because you are using a 'futuristic' rom which has modifications that the third party application doesn't know about because the third party application was made for the official firmware maybe?

Home App Option

I thank everyone for their response.
[G1 Android Development] polovinamozga:
1. go to recovery and

mount /system/sd

rm -rf /system/sd*

e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

reboot

choose htc image and install

reboot

choose cm image and install

reboot

and then IM app or CORE android or SETTINGS forced close.

Whats wrong?

Also

I'm getting lag going back to home screen, especially after using an app for a while.
[G1 Android Development] MarvinTheAndroid:
Don't know if this was spotted by anyone else....

I think the EBI1 support patch in 4.2.0 may have caused Google Sky Map to hang just as it determines your global position.

Google Sky Map runs sweet as a nut under 4.2.1
[G1 Android Development] h_town_cougars101:
Updated via the CM Updater without any issues...fantastic job Cyan keep up the great work...

now if I can just find a theme...
[G1 Android Development] ryan22158:
I had that SMS problem with stock 1.5 no root. I would guess it is something with the carrier. I haven't had it happen with my phone since I started using 4.0.4 and up.

My mom has a G1 with stock 1.5 no root, and she sends me like three texts in a row because android keeps telling her it doesn't go through :\

I also have a friend that has another G1 that was doing it until he rooted.

So, if you are having it happen with cyanogen's stuff I would bet it is something with the carrier.
[G1 Android Development] Algernon:
That's your problem. You MUST flash the Recovery ROM first, then the CM ROM. Make sure you hold the Home button when the phone reboots following the Recovery ROM installation. If you let the phone boot completely, you will lose root and have to start over form rc29. For best results, wipe both the system partition (Alt+W) and the apps' ext partition. Follow the steps from the first post carefully and you should be good.
[G1 Android Development] Algernon:
I was getting 8-10 hours of battery life with moderate use. I gave the phone a full charge, then deleted the /data/system/batterystats.bin file. After that I used the phone regularly and let it die completely before plugging it back into a charger. Did the same the next day and was able to run the phone for over 24 hours without charging while using 3G, maps+GPS, playing a bunch of games and listening to MP3s on the drive home. It really makes a difference.
[G1 Android Development] ollehal:
Problem fixed in dxtop 2.2.5 that just got out. ;)
[G1 Android Development] Rapax:
This worked for me. Thanks a million.
[G1 Android Development] Appce:
4.2.1 is working flawlessly!

This is the fastest Rom I have ever tried, very responsive and stable.

I dont understand why bfs is needed at all, if someone has an insight please share.

Thanks.

[G1 Android Development] gtrplr71:
"the day it came out" it just came out less than 24 hours ago. I was not doing it wrong I had a bad SD card and some of these guys are having legit problems
[G1 Android Development] momentarylapseofreason:
I searched a few pages (20 or so) and didn't see anything regarding this.

If we updated to 4.1.9999 using the "full package" that was uploaded a few weeks ago, will we need to wipe in order to flash this ROM?
[G1 Android Development] polovinamozga:
But not worked for me :(
[G1 Android Development] Xidroid:
A wipe is recommended but not required. Run fix_permissions from the command line after the ROM installs, before rebooting into the new ROM. If you have significant problems you may need to wipe.
[G1 Android Development] ustlookingj:
Just sent 10 bones your way steve

Thanks for the work. Enjoy the brewskis. 4.2.1 seems like the best so far. Does not seem to slow down after 4 or 5 hours of running. I have not seen anything but good performance since installing it yesterday, which is why i am finally sending you some scrilla to feed the habit.

Peace, Love, Burgers, and Brews to you buddy!

[G1 Android Development] polovinamozga:
hmmm

i insert another sd card and all starts fine
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
I think there are a lot of people who don't realise they need to recalibrate I went from 8-9 hours a day average to 13-16 following the same procedure well worth a try if you think your battery life could be better
[G1 Android Development] |Logic|:
i believe the problem to be with the carrier. I have tmo as well, and have run into this problem in the past. someone can correct me if im wrong though
[G1 Android Development] gtrplr71:
how do you recalibrate you battery?
[G1 Android Development] moorhuhn:
i flashed the new stable versioin 4.2.1 but very often i get a force close for acore.

how can i fix this?

does anyone else have this problem?
[G1 Android Development] LinkinX:
From .999999 just flashed over it and everything is working 100%

Fast, stable, and amazing.

Thanks cyan
[G1 Android Development] shagrath78:
Thanks cyanogen ! As an Android emulator game developer, this release is a major improvement from the 4.1.x versions... When I upgraded from the 4.0.4 version, I found my touch and key events not as well handled (read: as fast) than before... With a emulator running at full speed and using 100% CPU you need VERY responsive controls, and I think BFS wasn't really good from this point of view

thanks again !
[G1 Android Development] bobbybooshay:
^^cool, glad it's not just me... they should fix that

^oh ok - i flashed it less than 24 hours ago then? and it works. as far as your sd card, im glad you're doing it right now. :X
[G1 Android Development] Se7eN43:
anyone else having music player issues? i play a track and the music controls freeze and the app force closes but the music keeps playing until the track is done. ive tried both tunewiki and the native player, and they both do the same thing. i updated from 9999 (no wipe) then had this issue. so i wiped and reinstalled 4.2.1, same issue. even ran fix_permissions, still no luck.
[G1 Android Development] deekdeek:
When i type mount /system/sd i get this.

mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /system/sd failed: no such file or directory.

ARRRGHHH! browser still crashing.
[G1 Android Development] Mr. Nefarious:
Just wanting to see if I am alone on this very small incompatibility issue I'm having with 4.2.1 and the free version of Taskilla. I have the latest version of taskilla 10/25/09 and overall it works very well. However, when entering the ignore list, the list is simply blank. I can use taskilla without it, however it is a pain as I sometimes miss and kill my oc widget. A friend of mine has a dream with 4.2.1 and he is not reporting the same issue, so I'm guessing it's either 32b specific or my phone. I do not use apps 2 sd due to having the stock SD card, all advanced settings in 4.2.1 set to default. Anyone else having the same issue? I should also note, it worked fine on 4.1.99999. I used the standard upgrade method. Cyanogen Recovery Flasher -> Nandroid Backup -> Wipe -> Flash.
[G1 Android Development] R.Giskard_Reventlov:
I am having the same issues as deekdeek on my G1. I did apply both the zip from HTC and CM as instructed (unless I completely missed something, hehe). For me, logcat shows SIGSEGV, fault addr ffffffe4 in com.android.browser most of the time (captured an SIGILL, fault addr aa0069afc once). It seems that libwebcore.so is the problem (shows up a lot in the stack).

I actually started getting this problem on the 4.1x releases and decided to wait for 4.2x, hoping it would be fixed. No such luck.

As suggested by LadFromWales85, I used adb (adb remount, adb push) using the libwebcore.so file from an older build (4.0.4) and it seems to be working for me now. Not sure if this is the correct thing to do though ..
[G1 Android Development] deekdeek:
If this worked for you i would like to try, can you maybe let me know the exact steps. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
First off I am sorry for all you guys who are having issues. I have flashed Cyanogen since I got my G1 and I have never had an issue. I never get the problems most of you guys on here talk about. So second let me start off by saying I am a newbie :D but I wanted to share how I install any Rom I have ever installed. I have used Cyanogen, Jac, Drizzy, and Rogers Roms and every time I use this method and never get any of the issues. With that said here it goes:

WIPE

WIPE

Go to Console and Format SD Card

Remove all 3 Partitions (via rm 1, rm 2, rm 3)

Re-build Partitions on SD Card (I have a 4 Gig SD Card)

3.4MB FAT32, 500MB EXT3, 64MB Linux-Swap

Reboot to Cyanogen Recovery 1.4

WIPE

WIPE

Repair EXT

WIPE

FLASH ROM

(In Cyanogens case the HTC Build and then install Cyanogen Rom)

REBOOT

Setup G1

Once at Home Screen let it Sync, Once G1 is done syncing then Reboot 3 times back to back to back.

That is what I do it might look like a lot but it helps me never run into problems. I am very cautious, I dont want to brick my G1 I am not made of Money, I cant afford to loose my G1. I dont care if I have to reinstall apps, it actually helps me clear out useless apps that I dont use.

Now I will just flash Cyanogen Rom if it is related to the one I already have. Stable to Stable. But Stable to Experimental I will do the above. I hope this helps.
[G1 Android Development] gtrplr71:
this is the process I use as well I had a bad sd card and started to think It was me missing a step but after replacing the card it worked fine.
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
You really only need to be wiping once before flashing the rom doing it 5 time's is beyond overkill
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
follow the instructions in the post I quoted they're spot on, make sure you let the battery run completely down a couple of days in a row as the post mentions and it should be fine.

edit: make sure you leave the phone turned off when you are charging it after deleting the file and letting it run down, I do it over night but 5 hours is the recommended minimum I believe.
[G1 Android Development] gtrplr71:
thank you! I appriciate and hope this will help others as well!
[G1 Android Development] deekdeek:
YES!!! working thanks Reventlov! I pushed the libwebcore.so from 4.1.99 and now my browser is working so is market. I knew it wasn't somthing i did wrong when i flashed. this i suppose needs to be looked into.

i don't know if it makes a difference or not but im using HTC Dream (rogers canada) Im going to do a bit more testing and report back if all is OK!
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
I completely agree it is over kill but Over kill never hurt anything. And I have never run into problems yet. So I would rather have over kill then problems.
[G1 Android Development] APEX.7:
Might want to consider using amon_ra's recovery (10000x better then cyans) would save you some steps.....
[G1 Android Development] ahowie111:
quick question..

okay i have flashed this 4.1.9999 once and had terrible issues with lag once it was installed. went back to 4.0.4. i want to try 4.1.2 but what is the easiest way to get to 4.1.2 without loosing all my apps and having to reinstall them all? i have tons of apps on my sd and dont want to spend all the time reinstalling them.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Yeah I looked into his Recovery, I saw he had options to partition the SD Card, The question is when you use his auto partition option does it let you choose the size of the partitions. I have noticed a huge change using a 64MB Linux-Swap then using the 32MB Linux-Swap. I have been thinking about going up to 96 or even 128.
[G1 Android Development] g1doobie:
The only issue I am having is the screen does not rotate at all.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
There is an option in settings to make it rotate, maybe it is unchecked.
[G1 Android Development] rlndeep:
Exchange Contacts/Calendar

This is a great rom, runs stable and is quick.

Will you be incorporating the exchange contacts/calendar sync as well at some point? As far as I can see, it is only doing exchange email.

Again, great job.
[G1 Android Development] edwinr29:
there's a sub menu in the console when u type "utility" that has the option to set the size for both ext and linux-swap and leaves the rest to fat32, u might find that one better for your use since the one in the menu gives u 32mb linux-swap, 500 ext and the rest for fat 32 by default

edit: it also has an option to fix autorotate issues
[G1 Android Development] cyberchuck9000:
How do we access this battery file?
[G1 Android Development] g1doobie:
It is checked. I have never had this issue before with any other ROM.
[G1 Android Development] bornmw:
I've migrated from 4.0.4 to 4.2.1 and it was a disappointing experience.

The UI sucks now - the Calendar widget is not transparent anymore, and so is the Applications drawer.

Scp command can't find the ssh in /system/bin, and when I symbol link it there scp seg faults.

Does anyone have cure for these issues?
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Alright cool thanks I will have to try that.

FLAC in 4.2.1?

Anyone else having issues playing FLAC files in 4.2.1? I tried playing with default music app and it says it's an unrecognized file format, in Meridian Evolve and TuneWiki the files play but the programs become completely unresponsive and won't stop playing audio even when the process is killed with Advanced Task Manager - the only way to stop the audio is to reboot. FLAC seemed to play fine as late as 4.1.9999.
[G1 Android Development] hyperandy:
It's in Cyanogens help...screen rotation

Open terminal

su

Type "rm /data/misc/akmd* /data/misc/rild*" (without quotes)

and reboot
[G1 Android Development] joshtheitguy:
I too am having issues with FLAC playback in any player, I even tried wiping.
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
From terminal type

su

rm /data/system/batterystats.bin

Let your battery drain till the phone turns off

Charge switched off for 5 hours or longer

Let the battery drain to 0% using the phone don't charge until flat

Charge again switched off for 5 hours

Use phone as normal :)

These are the steps I've followed when I've noticed calibration problems, I found mixed instructions when searching the problem but these have worked for me
[G1 Android Development] g1doobie:
Said that the file or directory was not found when I tried that. /data/misc/akmd* was the one not found to be exact.
[G1 Android Development] bornmw:
I double that.

4.0.4 played flac files fine, 4.2.1 music player doesn't even recognize them.

When I force opened it from Linda it started to play, but the phone became unresponsive for some time, and then music app force closed (but the music still was playing)

Let's wait for next stable, the 4.4 :-)
[G1 Android Development] d2dthetide:
running good

Nice thing about cyan not updating every day or two is it gives you a chance to try other roms. For me though, cyangen's mods run the best. Everything works ....copilot, music, google apps...only thing I'm watching is it seems to be running hot right now.

I was on 4.1.9999 and tried KingKlick's Hero rom. Comming back to cyan 4.2.1, I thought I'd have to start all over with HTC's recovery, but decided to try a nandroid restore of 4.1.9999 first. First I did a factory and dalvik wipe....restored 4.1.9999....fixed permissions and ext.....rebooted and everything was fine. Next, I put 4.2.1 on sdcard, booted into recovery and flashed, then ran fix permissions again. I am having no problems with 4.2.1

Before someone does a reformating of their sdcard or ext3 partition, try wiping dalvik. A lot of times the problem is in dalvik which doesn't get wiped when you do a factory wipe. When I get FC's I do both factory and dalvik wipes and it take care of them. Lot less painful than an ext wipe.
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
Same flac problems here guessing we'll see a fix next version hopefully :)
[G1 Android Development] dan-htc-touch:
great rom, all it need is a little more cowbell :)
[G1 Android Development] bornmw:
transparency

Does no one notice the lack of transparency in the Calendar widget and in the Applications drawer?

Or is it just on my phone only?
[G1 Android Development] mrnv45:
i think most of that is little stuff i think we more worried abot actually having a smooth running rom instead of little nitpicked stuff..imo!

but i know it will all get fixed!
[G1 Android Development] arch113:
Is there a way to reinstall the above apps?
