app manager

Can someone solve AppManager fc only with this rom? For me it's very usefull in case of wipe
[G1 Android Development] andythefan:
wow

wow... that's all I can say. Works flawlessly for me. Feels noticeably faster, I don't know what you did, but it worked!

The transition animations are so cool. I was literally opening and closing apps and menus just to look at the blur/eclair effect!

Great work!
[G1 Android Development] xOrphenochx:
Found out what it was, something happened when I upgraded with the nav update I guess. I removed facebook, then later found com.facebook.katana which was the reason I couldn't get it from the market.
[G1 Android Development] cronin4392:
Yeah i think my recovery works fine, but I cannot figure out how to get my phonne to boot, have tried everything.

PLEASE HELP!
[G1 Android Development] katsushiro:
Yeah, I can confirm this behavior in 4.2.5 too. A shame, I count on those backups. Here's hoping there's a fix soon.
[G1 Android Development] sahurbari:
4.2.5

I'm sitting here reading all of the problems people are having with this rom and I haven't had one. I hope whenever a new release comes out it fixes your problems cause this is truly a great rom.
[G1 Android Development] t1n0m3n:
Wow, force closes galore. I updated from a complete 4.2.4 wipe. I am going to do a complete wipe and see if that fixes the issues.
[G1 Android Development] breakbeat:
yep, SMS backup stopped working... It worked in 4.2.4 and earlier...

This is the error message I get:

"The application SMS Backup (process tv.studer,smssync) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
i agree. FTR I got a new ext life battery and am no longer having Black Screen O Death issues. my g1 would not go through the normal process of shutting down when there is a low battery. it would just go dead while rebooting on the G1 screen and leave a ghost image on the screen until it burned out. after rebooting on the charger it would tell me 98%, so i dont get it, but my issue is solved with a new battery. i look forward to using this now that i can. issue 329 in the bug reporter has been updated
[G1 Android Development] cronin4392:
Had to reflash the Android 1.6 Recovery Image
[G1 Android Development] pershoot:
can't seem to mount sdcard fat32 partition in windows on 4.2.5.

i get the option on the g1, but windows never prompts me.
[G1 Android Development] millowster07:
Is there anyway besides using a theme to have the 2.0 icons global. So when I get a new txt or email the 2.0 icon appears? Not the 1.6 and below envelop icon? The android Stock 2.0 has them.. But when applied kills Cyan's awsome animations and has stuff I really dont want. Any ideas?:confused:
[G1 Android Development] sir*mez:
+1. I dont know what is is either i have a great fast running rom, its themed by me on top of it and still no lag, no problems.
[G1 Android Development] pablizzo:
I havent had any issues yet, but but in 4.2.4 i was able to answer a call by double tapping the screen. I havent found that option in 4.2.5, any ideas/help?
[G1 Android Development] t1n0m3n:
Meh, that made it worse. Nothing but force closes. I even got several force closes on the sign up screen. I am going back to 4.2.4. 4.2.5 is crazy unstable for me.

4.2.5 was very very fast though.
[G1 Android Development] terence_oh:
Was on 4.2.4

I wiped my Dalvik cache ONLY (no wipe of ext or user settings), then followed the upgrade instructions on the Cyanogen wiki, i.e. reflashed HTC 'Recovery' (signed-dream-devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip), flashed 4.2.5 over that before rebooting. All applications were carried over and no settings need to be changed. Running stable and fast now.

Have enabled compcache, just wondering if enabling backing cache is advised on a G1?
[G1 Android Development] deltawye:
Mine is doing the same thing, the phone has done this about three times in the past 24hrs, I also had to pull battery. Does any one else have a problem with this. I had thought that maybe it had something to do with Handcent and the built in messaging app butting heads, and locking up the phone.. IDK? any opinions? For the most part this, 4.2.5 is kicking butt!
[G1 Android Development] thewettoad:
Upgraded from 4.2.4, where everything was working great. 4.2.5 boots into home screen (my background) and gives me repeated android.process.acore force close. Notification bar still works and holding red power button still brings up options. Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] terence_oh:
Check out my post #5570, on the previous page two posts back?
[G1 Android Development] Asif4783:
hide contact list photos

does anyone know how to hide contact list photos ? They have been enabled by default in 4.2.5 and contact list scrolling is now very laggy. scrolling was very fast in previous cyanogen rom with no contact list photos. thx
[G1 Android Development] Chahk:
Extract the Contacts.apk file from the 4.2.4 zip and push to your phone with ADB or Terminal to /system/app/Contacts.apk overwriting the exitsing one.
[G1 Android Development] Chance Ill:
try a complete wipe. it works fine for me
[G1 Android Development] bpmtri:
If you still want the contact list with photos and smooth scrolling, you can try my patch here:

[G1 Android Development] thewettoad:
This Worked! Thank you for your advice. Up and running 4.2.5, w/o losing apps/settings. But i did lose Gnav and FB app. gonna try and repush hose two with the update.zip from theomajigga.

EDIT: Repushed the Gnav/FB update.zip from theomajigga and only Gnav works. The FB app FC's even without running it. Also the ROM (cm updater, about phone settings) thinks its 4.2.4, but this is being addressed in another post. Just thought people might wanna know. Other than that this seems really fast and responsive. Not sure if I like the contact list w/ pix. Wish there was an option to turn it off.
[G1 Android Development] smithfb3:
I have had the same issue black sceen phone freeze, random reboots. I think I traced it back to World Tour wallpaper updates. I turned it off and I need to see what happens.

Update; Once I turned off World tour, all thw issues stopped
[G1 Android Development] Joe333x:
I'm just wondering, is there any side effects of the cpu always being at max? I like being able to overclock my cpu but with this rom it never drops below 528. It makes sense to have it at 528 when your using it but when its in my pocket i dont need it that high. Battery power isnt really a concern im just wonding about the life span of the cpu
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
It is not always at max, it idles at 246 as usual. It just scales to 528 when needed.
[G1 Android Development] terence_oh:
I uninstalled FBook, then installed the V1.1 from a thread on this forum, with enhanced features. Works like a Dream (pun intended :D)
[G1 Android Development] kaozpimp:
no probs

Don't see how people are always having problems. Just follow instructions and you'll be fine.

Can't wait for dat eclair!!!! Go cyano!!!!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] Higgins12:
I admit i never was a big Fan of Cyanogen ROM's just tried from Time to Time and uninstalled latest after a Day but the recent 4.2.5 ---- Holy Moly that ROM is my Favorite now , pretty fast and short Boot Time .. will keep it and see what's coming next. Good work on that
[G1 Android Development] Brutal-Force:
Anyone else having issues with Gmail and Market Closing?

As soon as I open either, they close right away with no error.
[G1 Android Development] deltawye:
Well I don't know if that world tour has anything to do with it or not? I don't have that app? Mine seemed to do it when getting a text message I believe. Idk..... now my phone is rebooting itsself, I love this rom, except for those issues. :( I'm thinking about going back to hero_over rom.... I can't believe that a hero rom has been more stable for me than this one.
[G1 Android Development] goatmonkey:
Same here, been like that since 4.2.4
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Try going to recovery console and type "fix_permissions" to see if that helps
[G1 Android Development] kirandeep:
I have same issues with CM roms ( he does say it will push the g1 to its limits !!) i came over from akirahs 1.6 rom and had a very good battery life and could reach bedtime with like 30-40 %with average usage, first full day with this rom and it dies before bedtime..very annoying, you can almost see the battery life dripping away each time i look it has dropped a few more percent
[G1 Android Development] BrooklynAvi:
signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip (assuming you are using a G1). I am usually not sarcastic but this was literally asked and answered a thousand times. You gotta read before you post. :(
[G1 Android Development] BrooklynAvi:
These are warez.
[G1 Android Development] sjbayer3:
FYI,

I was having "slow" issues as many other who followed the instructions are getting.

I noticed something peculiar, when I boot my phone, and go to taskiller (app from marketplace), I have about 12-14 applications running in the background.

After killing all of them, this runs faster than I have ever seen!

I was getting alot of force closes and issue, but after using "fix ext partition" from recovery, "fix_permissions" from console, and the above, I am all good.

I don't know which specifically fixed my issue, but the applications running at boot is strange.
[G1 Android Development] xan.scale:
@ cyanogen can u make list of all restricted google apps, plzzz?
[G1 Android Development] BrutalHoe:
i noticed that in Task manager while running 6 tasks i only get about 16MB of free mem left when i used to have 90MB on 4.1.11.1 .

I use swapper and its set to 96mb swap and 60 swappines
[G1 Android Development] mazzano4:
Can anyne help i would say i have to do some of the above,since i done this update my fone is running like sloooooooooow but not really sure what is wrong now

edit, killed all running apps (keeps starting with every app in my phone running) is alot faster, but do i need to do something with permissions to stop all my force closes, any help would be cool, ps thanks Cyanogen
[G1 Android Development] Konqeror:
heeeeeeelp!

I recently upgraded to 4.1.99 (yesterday) and I have been having a lot of problems. For starters on the instructions it says to restart my phone several times if i shut it off at all the phone will not go past the "G1" screen. I have to go to the cyanogen recovery and wipe the phone then reinstall the htc_img thing then reinstall cyanogens mod. Every time I shut the phone off. How do I fix this? Also my process acore always force closes making me restart the phone which makes me redo everything all over again. Last night I could not send or receive anything at all. What is going on with my g1?
[G1 Android Development] BrooklynAvi:
4.1.11.1 was reading both the compcache and the linux-swap partition. I can't speak for 4.1.99 because I didn't check it but you can always open terminal and type free to see your available memory.
[G1 Android Development] Haywir3:
This will wipe whatever you have on your ext partition on your SD. Its not a wipe in the sense that you have to reformat the partition, just in that everything on the partition will be deleted and won't linger causing potential problems.

Correct.
[G1 Android Development] Joe333x:
I have a question. I am currently using JF1.5. I just found out that he will not be releasing anymore updates and would like to start using Cyanogen. Can I download the updater that is on the market and just use that to update from JF ?
[G1 Android Development] traspler:
I have to agree, battery life should be the next big thing which need heavy optimizations!

The Speed has been greatly increased from stock and given the restraints of Dalvik and the 528MHz CPU it's quite awesome what Cyanogen has gotten out of it but now it seems there's not too much to improve speed drastically (from a noobish point of view) and I think we can all live with the speed we have now. Now it's time to crack down on the battery usage!!!
[G1 Android Development] raziel200:
k got it running boots up the first time and then i go to boot it two more times as the instructions say second boot goes fine, third boot stuck at g1 screen
[G1 Android Development] moorhuhn:
i think it will need some more time to develope.

i flashed the new rom yesterday.

first everything was ok. but after some time it slowes down dramatically.

i thought i did something wrong so i did the same thing again. (flashing the whole thing)

but it was still the same problem.

today after university i read the updated thread with the installation guide.

i did it exactly like described first i thought it was working but after a while same thing happened than before.

someone said to kill every task and repair ext3 partition.

i did that but it was working everytime only for some minutes.

i'm now back on 4.11.1.1 which is (so i think) the best one until now.

does anyone know how to get this rom working stable?

please cyanogen fix this rom or tell us how to get it working.
[G1 Android Development] Coderedpl:
Am i the only one or does it seem like the notification bar doesnt pull down as fast it did before?

Before i was able to do a quick swipe from top to bottom and it would recognize, now it seems as if it needs a longer press and drag down to get recognized. Anybody else notice this?
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
Why don't you people read....Cyanogen just posted that all is fixed and he will release an update tonight. Stop *****ing and hang in there for the update. And to those that keep posting blow,by,blow descriptions of what didn't work....maybe you should learn how to wipe or re-format your sdcard ext partition. This is the cure to 99.9% of all install force closes. And to Coderedpl, nope, you are the only one that has problems with the pulldown.
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
If you actually read or searched the thread or just read cyanogens twitter posts you would see that this has been discussed. Posts like this help no one don't run an experimental build if you don't have the time to read a thread and research problems you are having.

It's a BFS problem, cyanogen is looking into it.
[G1 Android Development] JoelOFH:
There are a great deal of variables when speaking of battery life. With that in mind, I don't believe it's Cyanogen's builds that are negatively affecting your phone. I have the same build on mine (and my girlfriend's) and we both get 2 days out of a charge--with vigorous use (many text messages, phone calls, maps, browser, games, music, etc).

If you don't already have it installed, install TasKiller. Also, shut off whatever you're not using (bluetooth, etc).
[G1 Android Development] t1h5ta3:
1. when is the last time you calibrated the bat?

2. what all is running in the background?

3. are you on edge or 3g?

i have wifi on all the time, gps on, screen at 100% twizdroid, babler and a bunch of otherstuff constantly updateing. my uptime since unpluged is currently just over 6 hours, i have 94% remaining , on a stock battery thats almost a year old...

on average, after 18-20 hours up time, im still sitting 40%+

no 3g here, but i have seen much worse bat life when on it. thats why its recomended to turn it off unless you need the extra bandwith.
[G1 Android Development] te_quiero_forever_girl:
I am quite satisfied with the speed, but I don't find the transition animation as smooth as Akira's one ( with blur theme ) and one's from Enomther. Is there any way to alleviate it ?

Thanks in advance
[G1 Android Development] :
I tried it and I had no contacts listed whatsoever!
[G1 Android Development] bals2oo8:
i don't understand. going from 4.1.11.1 to 4.2.3.1 works perfectly fine. but trying to upgrade to 4.2.4 or 4.2.5 the phone won't boot past the android screen. Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?
[G1 Android Development] shoemeistah:
Huge improvement, much better than v4.2.4! My fav ROM now.
[G1 Android Development] AnGeL_WiT_SiNs:
it happened to me when i was trying to update to 4.2.4. coming from 4.2.3.1.. try wiping the dalvik

cache then flash the rom.. and before you reboot run fix permission on the recovery counsel and hopefully that can help .... ive tried it updating back to 4.2.3.1 because i update to 4.2.4 and my gmail and market was messing up like what you said so i went back to 4.2.1.3 and when i went back my gmail was still messed up so i did the procedure ..flashed the rom and ran the fix permissons and my gmail and market where working again I never tried it on 4.2.4 and up but i read a couple of threads where they say to run fix permissions before rebooting ... try it out and let me know if it works:D:D
[G1 Android Development] Eclypz:
Just wanted to say thank you

4.2.3.1 -> 4.2.5 via CM Updater, and it worked flawlessly.

Lightning quick, and love the animations.

PS: Should I be enabling Compcache? Or is it default to off for a specific reason?
[G1 Android Development] folwanmojo:
I also have my market force-closing since the last update. Anyone have a fix yet?

Also, I don't know if it's related, but I no longer get the drop down box to mount my phone anymore, even after wiping and flashing again.
[G1 Android Development] chisagitta:
Barcode Scanner sucks

Barcode Scanner sucks on 4.2.5. it doesn't recognize QR code nor read code

Have to use ixMAT Scanner instead and it works good
[G1 Android Development] d2dthetide:
strange thing

Install went nice. No force close, no widgets problems. Everything seems to be running fine except one strange problem. When I play music...either with the music widget, music icon app, or even Last FM....the music plays fine but the screen constantly keeps dimming and rotating. It dims and switches between portrait and landscape. It doesn't do it with videos. If I don't look at it it's not a problem but the flashing kind of makes you look...kind of gets to me after awhile. I've cleared davlik and music and run fix_permissions.
[G1 Android Development] chisagitta:
Mine works good. Have you tried to wipe out/fac reset?
[G1 Android Development] xtenpeben:
compcache has positive and negative effects on the phone. He left it off so it'll be up to u if u want to use it.
[G1 Android Development] Erikbronx:
great update, but im still getting random reboots. I wipe everything tooo.:(
[G1 Android Development] luffyd:
any idea when the lockscreen will be ported over here? for me i havent noticed any big problems..but i did stuck sometimes when incoming calls go through..
[G1 Android Development] Janis:
I think I"m going back to 4.2.4 for now

1. I can't get the nav function ot work on 4.2.5, but I haven't tried any other rom/version.

2. I need my SMS Backup. It's probably a bit nuts, but I'm doing a lot of archiving in pst format, and since my 4-year old daughter's cute little text msgs are getting to my gmail, I get pst copies. OK they're not cute, just bad, but you never know when they're going to start gaining ground. (Although her grammar is better than some I've seen in Market comments.) It's nearly instantaneous redundant backup, one local, and backed up on a second disk nightly. (Normal=*, me=* Thank you Kurt V.)

3. I like the idea of a photo-free, faster contacts app.

4. I really like the 2.0 theme, except for the absent cyan skating android boot screen, which I think is well deserved and I adore (not a great fan of the red&white on black. Looks like a cheesy valentine. red&black on black would've been better. Droid2?) I'll probably push it back on its own for now.

I'll miss the speed of .2.5

I'll really miss the animations, and I'm not an animations fan, generally speaking. The bouncy thing I could live without, but the window switch is extra fancy.

I still seem to be getting the random reboots 4.2.4 and 4.2.5. Can anyone help me out with that?
[G1 Android Development] brrrr:
cm updaters telling me i hav 4.2.4 installed...but i know i installed 4.2.5...weird
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
i have 26I radio so i can just flash this over my current hero rom? I dont care about google apps ill use astro for that just want to use cyan.hero is a bit to slow me me to use atm.
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
For a dev, your question strikes me as very odd and ill-educated.

No, you can't just flash this over a hero rom.

The installer would fail, as the md5sums of the required libraries and other files would not match. Check the backuptool.sh to see what it is checking and copying. If your current ROM does not match those, your phone will not boot after flashing Cyanogen's...
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Hmmm..this is unproductive right here saying stuff that benefits no one you should have saved you breath, better..hold it for me;)

Ive owned my G1 since last month used to be a iphone owner:) there communities were much friendlier than some d-bags on here.
[G1 Android Development] usmc2k:
Is anyone experiencing volume hack 2.2 not working on 4.2.5 n kausing rests ?
[G1 Android Development] xidominicanoix:
hmm

For some reason, flashing 4.2.5 completely nuked my phone lol. It just kept rebooting. Read the lolcat and I saw every process die and something about low memory. I tried everything in the book (and I'm not a noob so I really did try everything). Even tried to restore my switchrom backup but continued to get the reboots. Unfortunately, my internet when out right after I flashed lol. But thankfully I had a backup of the original HTC 1.6 and flashing that fixed the reboots. Will wait til my internet comes back on so I can follow the directions to get back to 4.1.99 and then try 4.2.5 again. :/
[G1 Android Development] Eclypz:
Works for me
[G1 Android Development] xtenpeben:
hope u get ur phone back up and running :)
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I have a faster version of the contacts app from Tri that's going in the next version, less lag when scrolling.

I'll look into the SMS backup thing, have to catch up with the bugtracker.

100% agree about the bouncy animations. They are fun for a minute but they seem in the way real quick. I might make it a toggle option :)
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Ok i flashed it and no bootloops! URA!

now i still have to decide which theme i want to use..this is faster than than reg 1.6 and all the hetho roms ive used:p
[G1 Android Development] choli0090:
I also had the same issue that you mentioned, but I decided to do a full blown reinstall & recreate the partitions. I'll have to see if world tour creates an issue for me or not..
[G1 Android Development] choli0090:
Did you install the Facebook/Google Navigator update? People were saying that still lists as 4.2.4
[G1 Android Development] law16:
theme

anyone having trouble flashing a theme, every time i try to flash a theme thats compatible with 4.2.5 it just stays on the g1 boot screen
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Your not suppose to wipe when you flash:)

im using a hero theme by wat-chama-callit
[G1 Android Development] G'uno:
The random reboots in the middle of calls, has been my ONLY complaint (But I'm dealing with it:) That's been on both builds Janice mentioned...

Hey Cyanogen, random question:

Both the LG Eve and the newly announced Samsung Galaxy Spica can play DivX. http://androinica.com/2009/11/16/sa...first-android-phone-to-support-divx-playback/

Any idea on the technical reason as to what's holding back the G1 (or *any* other Android phone aside from these two) from playing DivX?
