I honestly don't think Cyan would even care. He obviously knows what people like/dislike about his rom, and he knows what he, himself likes and dislikes. He knows what he's going to change, and what's going to remain the same. Not to mention, the amount of people making these "back-handed" compliments versus people making actual compliments is very low. If his self-esteem takes a hit because someone said FastTest is a faster ROM, then he can just look at the thousands of other posts saying "Great job, Cyan." Also, calling their ROM's "flaky" with "questionable coding" isn't really constructive either.

This is a forum, afterall. I think that person had a right to post his opinion, just like you have a right to post your opinion about his opinion, just like I have a right to post my opinion about your opinion about his opinion. Anyway, I really don't think you need to get hurt on Cyanogen's behalf. I actually think it would be kind of flattering. Everyone's trying to compare themselves to Cyanogen - that's gotta speak for something.

market issue

Everytime I try to open the market a message pops up and says "ACCESS BLOCKED- sorry, your wireless account does not have permission to access this application" and has to two buttons, "OK" or "More Info". How do I fix this? Thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] ntrujillo:
I mean the standard tab that comes with like 1.0, 1.5+ etc.,or even SuperD, just any without the curves , I know its not a huge deal but I use the G1 as my everyday phone and Im the one that has to look at it so why not have it the way I want it, you know what I mean
[G1 Android Development] folwanmojo:
Is anyone else havng force closes with Google Listen and Overclock Widget after this update?
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Well put. Especially the last statement about comparison. I think that particular detail is often overlooked. Very well put.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Not sure if it still works in the latest CM ROM (haven't used it in a LONG time), but you could try one of the Advanced Launchers. I believe they still have the original tab you're referring to, not to mention up to 7 home screens, the ability to hide apps and folders in the drawer. I'm not a huge fan of the new tab, either, but it doesn't bother me all that much. But, like you said, YOU use YOUR phone everyday and Android is known for customizing, right? Give it a try...but like always, Nandroid first!
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Oh, and another reason I'd like to see a CM 2.1 ROM is for some of the new Eclair only apps that are coming out, such as "Urbanspoon" and what not. Not that those are all that important, but, hey, who doesn't love new apps? :)
[G1 Android Development] evilmerlin:
Is anybody else having trouble getting on to a HSDPA network? I'm constantly stuck on UMTS.
[G1 Android Development] Androidandy:
I am in the UK, my install went smoothly. Yes there are some very minor niggles with the rom, but it does say 'experimental' in the title. It has been said many times before, the best results have come from those who have reformatted their sd card and used ext3. Wipe the phone before install, check md5 check sums of the files. Read many threads before committing to upgrade. Nandroid backup before upgrade.

Above all don't complain, if it doesn't work for you post a logcat and restore your older version
[G1 Android Development] Lloir:
ok i been testing the rom with all the errors etc...if your phone hangs on the G1 Tmobile screen (not sure what the 1st screen is for American users) remove the SD card and re-format etc.... if it's taking forever and a day to boot and lagging like a ***** then reformat the sdcard to ext3\4

hope this has been some kind of help to someone out there :) even if it helps one person :)
[G1 Android Development] uiterlix:
Just switched from the akirah 1.6 rom to cyanogen with the three nines. Everything is working really well. Just one thing I'm wondering. Akirah's rom is just sooo much faster in rotating the screen. It would be nice if this kind of speed could be implemented in this rom as wel.

For people encountering force closes on screen rotation. For me it was the battery percentage widget causing trouble. Removing the widget stopped the FC's.

Cyanogen, thanks!
[G1 Android Development] walkerx:
I've gone from Modaco's Hero build for the G1 to Cyanogen's build due to the number of force closes I started receiving, and the install went well once I remembered to wipe & reformat my SD card

Nice one Cyanogen...
[G1 Android Development] bdaboy338:
i have an ext3 partition. when i run this rom and go to the storage i see a primary storage, secondary storage(which is my ext3 partition), and internal storage of 72 MB. when instal an app the internal storage goes down. Anyone know why its not going to the ext3 partition?
[G1 Android Development] SilentTweak:
This is probably because when you install an app it goes to the internal storage first, then when you reboot your phone, it moves any apps found in the internal storage to your ext partition.
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
Now that was quite the "guess'. No it is because the app data is still installed to phone memory. The app is getting installed to the sd card if you have the second partition.
[G1 Android Development] cyberchuck9000:
Had a really bad crash last night. Here's how it went:

1. Android.media began force closing every few seconds

2. Apps.Listen began force closing every few seconds

3. Went into settings, uninstalled Listen

4. Backed out of settings, phone spontaneously reboots

5. When it reboots, 80% of my applications were gone

6. Shortly afterwards, phone went to sleep and wouldn't come back

Had to wipe everything and reinstall. Running ok right now, but I hope this doesn't happen again.
[G1 Android Development] cyberchuck9000:
That only happens upon the first boot after creating the ext partition. Afterwards, all downloaded apps go straight to SD.
[G1 Android Development] :
To further my question: Can anyone give a quick rundown on what parts of the original Cupcake are closed source and cannot be redistributed? (besides the apps of course)
[G1 Android Development] Booker-T:
It seems there are a lot of problems with this CM rom:(

Waiting for the stable verison
[G1 Android Development] stryken:
I for the life of me could not get this rom to flash and work properly.

Tried everything everyone else did. Wiped, didn't wipe, wiped at different times, redownloaded all the files and made sure they weren't corrupt. Removed dalvik-cache and reflashed. Ran fix_permissions at various times.

I then saw someone post about the ext2 causing trouble and I upgraded that to ext3...and it now runs flawlessly. Wiping ext2 may help, if not an upgrade may be worth a try?
[G1 Android Development] skesseks:
terminal usage and black screen

A couple of others have mentioned this. Here is a brief, unverified scenario (i'll get the exact details later):

1. start the phone... (well, yeah)

2. open the included terminal emulator program

3. use it briefly

4. 'exit' the terminal program

Sometime later (i have had be right away, and several minutes later) the phone will not wake properly. Pressing the buttons cause the keyboard and hard buttons to light up, but the screen does not come on. Pressing the various hard buttons does get a response from the phone that are almost normal. If I press the menu twice then press and hold the power button, I get the haptic feedback of it opening the 'shutdown' dialog (i think).

Anyway. I THINK this is the right log file. (can someone tell me where to find the log file from the LAST run? ie, the one I would need after restart the phone in this case?)

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] SpEnTBoY:
Just wanted to confirm I see the same thing. I've tried to isolate what exactly was causing the screen to not wake up but I re-traced your steps and got the exact same results. I can also validate that the phone still seems to be functioning fine like this as I can still use adb to snag a shell and watch the button input live from a logcat.
[G1 Android Development] kuroshiro:
I posted in the guide thread, then realized I should be discussing this here.

So my current problem is that every time I reboot the phone it goes into a reboot loop. This is with a fresh sdcard that I just bought. However, if I boot into recovery then "repair ext filesystem" then drop to console and run "fix_permissions" this seems to take care of it. repair alone doesn't fix it, but I haven't tried just running fix_permissions yet. I'll try that this afternoon. Any thoughts?

One other thing, Google Partner Setup keeps running periodically. Based on the name, I'd think it would only run once. What does it do? (other than the obvious)
[G1 Android Development] witzend:
Since flashing .999 phone has been very zippy and all my Gtalk, ebuddy, lattitude, gmail, maps all works, the only thing that didn't work, phone calls in and it doesn't ring.. :P

since a reboot, it rings, but I'm afraid when would it not ring again.. i mean, the caller hears the rings, the phone just doesn't ring nor show that there is an incoming call.

Anyone else wanna update?

waiting for tomorrow to see if anyone starts to scream at me for not answering their calls...

Usage report so far

Hi, been using 4.1.999 for a few days now, and pushing it hard

Here are the issues I've had and fixes, where applicable:

1. When plugging into USB while the phone is asleep (!!!) the phone gets stuck and is unable to wake itself. The only (reasonable) thing you can do is "adb shell reboot".

This issue has been reported in the bugtracker: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=329

Anyone else having it, star it in the bug tracker please!

FIX: Plug your USB in while the phone is awake.

2. If you tried to backup your ext partition, because you want make a switch to another SD card, bringing /system/sd contents back will result in FCs of many apps. This is probably due to missing files, settings, etc. I'm really not familiar with all the details of how APPS2SD works, so I had to reinstall all my apps. NOTE: No ROM switching here, just a new SD card.

FIX: I have no fix for this. If anyone who KNOWS this cares to comment, I'm sure it would be widely appreciated.

3. I noticed that CM "stock" processing speed is decreasing actually, over the updates. I dont know if it's relevant at all, but I measure this using Benchmark Pi (I also use another benchmarking app for more thorough tests).

Stats (Pi):

a) 4.0.4 calculates in about 15 secs

b) 4.1.11.1 calculates in about 16-17 secs

c) 4.1.999 calculates in close to 20 secs

FIX: Since CM uses Compcache, and no swap by default, I enabled backing swap for improved performance on this benchmark. All speeds are now increased by approx 3 seconds average. Check the link in my sig, if you want to know more.

4. Phone rebooted one single time, I think it had to do with rotation. Here is what happened, though I failed to reproduce it:

- Make a phone call (display in portrait)

- End call, back to Call log (still portrait)

- Hit Home, accidentally tilting my hand, so display started to load Home in landscape. Got stuck there for a while, then it rebooted.

FIX: There is a request in CM bug tracker to disable home screen rotation on devices without physical keyboard. I support this issue. If you do too, star it! :)

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=65

5. Last, but not the least: After having left my phone asleep, and went to sleep myself, I woke up to realize that all my contacs are gone. I am 100% sure they were there when I left it. I have grabbed the logcat, and it is attached. It's not the whole logcat, but I think it should help.

So, other than this, I have had no problems.

Install, flawless...

Speed, as excpected from CM :D

Battery life, as expected (down 7% over night, down 30% after about 11 hours, with WiFi and 3G moderate usage)

Once again, many thanks and respect to Cyanogen for putting lots of effort into this. Keep it up, all the best!
[G1 Android Development] bdaboy338:
i do have an ext3 partition.its reading it as secondary storage
[G1 Android Development] borodin1:
Updated to 4.1.99 the same day it came out. Here are some thoughts

It is stable.... I can't make it crash. In fact it's more stable then official releases.

It is slow. Way slower then 4.1.11.1 (which was pretty stable itself). The biggest problem I get is a black screen when exiting out of the program (like browser) and subsequent launcher reload.

I am very happy that CM found a way to continue updating, and I'm very grateful for his work. I am sure that we'll regain the speed sometime during the next couple of versions.
[G1 Android Development] HooliganAMA:
upgrading to ext3 also fixed all of my problems. i was able to flash from 4.1.11.1 with no wipe. Way fast. boots fast. no problems so far.
[G1 Android Development] ntrujillo:
Ok so, I'm using the latest super d but was thinking of giving this 1 a try again and ill figure out a way to change the tab, try the suggestions, but which is better right now? Super D or Cyan? What does everyone think?oh and can I flash Cyan over Super D by just wiping everything and flashing or is there a different or better way to do it?

Vanishing SMS

I've had the same problem for several iterations of CM, and it seems like this fix isn't high on CM's list, so I've decide to switch, and have found KiNgxKxlicK AOSP 2.1 to be a good alternative. It's fast, stable, and haven't had any fc or SMS problems since.

I still drop by this thread, in hopes that the SMS problem gets fixed, but no luck yet =/
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
I fixed the 'upgrading from <4.1.99 or other rooted roms' page to point all users to the defanged. There's no reason for G1 users to use the adp1 image, especially with the newer radio out.
[G1 Android Development] bitlater:
Same here, listen force closes on open. And while gtalk and gmail stay logged in longer than before still loses connection after a day or so. (gets annoying since it's the primary way I communicate with the wife)

Still lovin the speed though!
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Do you need a different Launcher?

If Cyans curved Launcher isn't to your liking, you can take Launcher.apk from ANY other 1.6 based ROM - not that I will promote any here. :)

Be careful and take into consideration that Launcher holds the wallpapers, so those will get replaced if you choose to replace it.

Basically, what you need to do is take a ROM package, open it with some archiver, and extract the Launcher.apk that's located in /system/app. Copy it to the root of the SD card. Reboot your phone into recovery, drop to console and do something like:

#mount -o rw,remount /system
#mv /system/app/Launcher.apk /system/app/Launcher_apk.old
#cp /sdcard/Launcher.apk /system/app
#reboot

OR

You can look at these links, for a choice of launchers:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?/topic/396-retro-launcher/

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?/topic/47-themed-launchers-for-cyanogenmod/

Good luck!

P.S. Attached are some screenshots of my current launcher - replaced using the procedure I described
[G1 Android Development] SilentTweak:
Most time when things force close, best try fix_permissions, but if that doesn't fix it, re-install the app.
[G1 Android Development] bryant_16:
I have used the rom for several days already, now then I realized that work email is force closing. Can I still go the fix_permissions now? Because other settings have already been set and working fine, I do not want to disrupt other aspects of the phone after I apply the fix_permissions.

Is it possible?
[G1 Android Development] SilentTweak:
It'll be fine. Fix_permissions doesn't change internal settings, just the CHMOD permissions. If Work Email is force closing might want to extract the Mail.apk from CM zip and try re-installing it. It usually breaks after an upgrade without wipe.
[G1 Android Development] bryant_16:
That will be too. How to fix_permissions by the way?

And also, if I want to extract the Mail.apk, how do I go about doing it?
[G1 Android Development] ntrujillo:
Thanks! I appreciate the help, ill give it a try here.
[G1 Android Development] heyyyitsjordan:
+1 fanboys are just that... news flash. no one cares if you think your CRAP is better. if you didn't notice in the thousand plus pages of this thread, THIS IS CYANOGENMOD. so everyone talking about fasttest or kings or super d, can either shut up or leave.
[G1 Android Development] heyyyitsjordan:
ohemgee guy... if its so important to you, go back to stock or flash a theme.

its not a huge deal, but im on this thread every day and im the one that has to look at your complaints about the curves...

... you see this is probably the worst complaint about the rom. EVER.
[G1 Android Development] ntrujillo:
Damn, chill out man, I was just asking for advice on the subject and its not a complaint its an opinion about a feature that to me I dislike, I figured it wasn't that hard to change but I thought I might ask first before I mess something up, cuz like I said, I use this phone everyday and Im still kind of new to all of this, I love the ROMs and the developers that take the time to make them, hence the reason Im trying to learn anything and everything about them. If you think this is the worst

COMPLAINT

ever, than like me, that's your opinion, but like many people say, Android is known for customizing to the way YOU like, but Don't worry about it, I figured out how to customize it the way I want it no thanks to you and thanks to the people that actually want to help and not ***** and moan about a complaint that isnt even a complaint. Have a great day ;)

HTC time input

I have used the Hero roms and hate the fact that bluetooth does not work and the roms are slow and very unstable. I was wondering if anyone has made a port of the numerical input for the g1. It is so much faster than just holding down the up/down buttons or clicking on the time and having to delete the old data. Thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] AustinAce:
Same here. Its so annoying because I can't update any of my applications.
[G1 Android Development] SilentTweak:
Open Terminal type:

su

fix_permissions

Just take CM update zip and go to the folder /system/app/mail.apk and copy it to your SD card and re-install with whatever file manager you have.
[G1 Android Development] spamcakes:
Hi there, I love one of the wallpapers that comes with cyanogen, but I seem to have lost it somewhere, probably because I've morphed the launcher a bit. I've attached a screenshot of the wallpaper and I was wondering whether there was another way to get this wallpaper other than reflashing back to vanilla Cyanogen?
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
DUDE... please re-read my post.

All i was adding was some relative comparison for others to possibly glean (particularly those that don't just flash back and forth on a whim)

And I was right, after fiddling with my settings, CM proves to be as fast as I need. (needed to add the RAM hack to get the apples to look more like apples)

This was not a direct FastTest vs CM debate starter. But some seem to want to take $hit WAAAAYYYY tooooo far. Chill out.

I've supported CM from the very effin beginning. After JF, CM was the ONLY rom I ran until i recently tested FastTest.

so sorry if I stepped on your tootsies.
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
Did you even read the original post that he was responding too??

or did you just fly off the handle to support a debate that wasn't a debate to begin with?
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
here ya go
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
I'm going with "flying off the handle" on that one. Sheesh. I mean, ho-ly crap. Yeah, I know, "it's a Cyanogen forum." Apparently, to some, though, that means all we get to say is "Great job, C!" or "Kudos to you! You're the man!" (Not that I disagree with either of those statements, but to the contrary).

In actuality, when someone says they tried out a different ROM and are pleased with a particular part of it (or maybe even the whole), it is what we, in the technical field, call FEEDBACK. As a developer, Cyan needs this kind of stuff to understand what the people that are using his ROM like, dislike, want, need, etc. Not that he'll take every little complaint or comparison into consideration (or even that he should). He's a very smart guy. He's not making a ROM just for himself, he's making one for a community of Android enthusiasts who admire him. And rightfully so. Their admiration is well deserved because HE LISTENS TO THEM. He has put out a quality ROM that more people use than any other. Why? Because he listens, he dissects the truth from the trash, and pushes out update after update from it, better every time.

So, to the people telling everyone not to discuss what they like about a particular different ROM more than CM, lay off. Competition is how we improve our product. Criticism is how we learn what our target base wants and how to maintain it. People are posting what they like about another ROM here because they are hoping that Cyan's next update would include a feature they like about it. Cyan knows that; that's how he's maintained the most widely flashed ROM around. They say that plagiarism is the greatest form of flattery, but the second is comparison.

So, let's all just take a chill pill and let people give some feedback, alright?

Can I check with you if do I need the file fix_permissions to perform the operation and whether Work Email can sync calendar?
[G1 Android Development] spamcakes:
Sorry to be a bit of a nagger, but as that's a JPG it's a bit blurry, do you think you could nab a png of that instead?
[G1 Android Development] SilentTweak:
Honestly, I have no clue what Work Email does since I never use it. But, if it's supposed to sync your calendar then I'm sure it will. Use fix_permissions first, if it still force closes then re-install the app. After that it should work.
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
pulled it from the cm 4.2.15.1 zip, where they are all jpegs...

but if you go here http://github.com/prash/Wallpapers you can get any of the prash wallpapers in png

i love github:)
[G1 Android Development] Shambala001:
I have 4.2.15.1 on my G1 and ive noticed that the battery life is significantly less, to the point where it only lasts about half a day. Also I cant get my bluetooth to work, if i do fix_permissions it works for a while but then it wont turn on anymore.
[G1 Android Development] SilentTweak:
1. You probably should wipe;

2. Install SetCPU and do the appropriate settings;

3. Install AutoKiller - Set to Optimize;

Notes: You probably have something in the background (an app) eating away at the CPU processes. Have you checked? Also, I'll assume your phone is usually in sleep mode. Otherwise if you've browsed with the screen on for over 6 hours I'd say that's normal. My G1 lasts well over 12 hours if not more on normal use.
[G1 Android Development] Shambala001:
I checked and cell standby and phone idle were the only 2 things taking up anything.
[G1 Android Development] SilentTweak:
I meant like actually check the pids. You can check them with either typing ps in the terminal or you can download Astro Manager and check processes there.
[G1 Android Development] Shambala001:
I did ps but not quite sure how to read the information. Also I checked and after 20 minutes it lost about 8% abttery
