im not rushing ANYONE at all im MORE than satisfied with this rom.... just curious if cyan is working on a new one or is it at a halt till more stuff comes out? I only say cause I heard that 2.0 cant fit on our phones...

EDIT: just noticed that tmobile visual voicemail is not working.

Edit 2: ok it works on 3g (the setup) but not on wifi.. dont know if its a bug or you have to setup on 3g so for anyone else with that issue, turn wifi off and it resolves...

I don't know where he's at with the current donut based build, but according to his last tweet he is indeed working on eclair but doesn't want to release it yet without the needed drivers. Currently, camera and video are not working and we have to wait on Qualcomm and/or HTC for that.

2.0 will fit, he's got it running now. The problem is the waiting game for drivers.
[G1 Android Development] metallicant:
From @cyanogen approx. 10 hours ago.

"I'm not sure what I'm doing with Eclair yet. I don't want to release a version with broken stuff (camera, video)"

Hold your horses. Try your hardest to be patient. Sooner or later we all will be eating some cooked up "eclairs".... :)
[G1 Android Development] no6969el:
Oh im holding my horses... im actually riding quite high on them right now..lol like i said just wondering cause i was kinda shocked at the news I heard....

I love eclairs for real.... so looking forward to cyans interpretation of my favorite sweet..LOL

I have tried to get this working 5 times and searched this thread for answers, but can't find a solution.

I can get it flashed, cm 4.2.5 installed and everything works, except gmail and market. Both close or crash as soon as their opened with no message.

Does anyone know what might cause this? I have tried clearing the cache on both and that didn't help.
[G1 Android Development] no6969el:
The easiest suggestion I have is uncheck sync in general, then reboot your phone, then when it comes back click the check for all of them again... I did that when my contacts refused to sync a few versions ago and it kinda "forced" it to start syncing...
[G1 Android Development] no6969el:
You can try and download the app called "ta utility" send all your cache to the SD and try again. If you already have that done.. then send it to your internal memory and back to the sdcard and try again.

Ive seen this happen if you don't open marketplace and accept it IMMEDIATELY after flashing so if the above suggestion doesn't work then re-flash, immediately sign in to gmail, then open marketplace and accept the terms before doing ANYTHING. Hope that helps..
[G1 Android Development] matthewboii:
darn no luck, it just sits there with the sync sign stopped and no sync sign in the notification bar, and if i retry it spins for just a sec and stops again

As far as I know, VV has always only worked on 3g. That's why the want you to buy the data plan before it becomes "available and usable"

CM rom isn't really built to use linux-swap partition, Cyanogen wants it only to be a partition of EXT 3or4 & the rest FAT32. Thats how he's wants his Rom's to be run, he wants them to be run with no use of linux-swap, and that is how he currently runs it on his phone.
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
...but you can easily add swap (or compcache) by using the userinit.sh/user.conf script found in another thread if you, like me, would like to increase the performance even further.

/Mats
[G1 Android Development] coredalae:
Yes and he also is running a google ION (htc magic) wich has a bit more mem as a g1, so i'd still go for swap anytime. Especially if you use alot of widgets. These dont change alot but are in memory, so pushing them to swap is fine :p
[G1 Android Development] julien1977:
Where are the Sync Option ?

Hello everyone

since the 4.2.5, there is no sync option for agenda, mail and contact.

How can i sync them?

for the mail, no problem, but for the other?

only the button on the widget is not enough: he don't launch a sync opération.

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] Booker-T:
Easier method:

Open the terminal, type "swapon -a"

Done!
[G1 Android Development] SxxxA:
Have you found out a way to start the command automatically, in a native Linux kind of way? So, not using any apps (and not typing it in manually each time you reboot), but using a script that exists already in the system. Something like .bashrc.local or .bashrc, or boot.local... or something! ;)

I haven't been able to find it, though I spent a few minutes and found what scripts appear to run on boot. Those are Cyanogen's, and I didn't want to mess around and change them, rather create my own, or use something that exists already, for user commands..
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Well, again :rolleyes:, userinit.sh is run on every boot of CyanogenMod...

/Mats
[G1 Android Development] SxxxA:
DOH!

And it's in /system/bin... :rolleyes:

Thanks for pointing out the obvious, sorry for the dumb q.
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Well, actually it's in /system/sd

[G1 Android Development] SxxxA:
EDIT: I have to edit this remarkably stupid post.. The userinit in /system/bin is just a symlink, and it points to..guess what?

/system/sd/userinit.sh :rolleyes:

Didn't notice this until I did 'ls -lp /system/bin' and got this:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 22 Nov 20 23:26 userinit -> /system/sd/userinit.sh

Yes, I know... if you put it there. But I was looking for Cyanogen's userinit.

Though /system/bin/userinit can be copied to /system/sd/userinit.sh... just as a good practice. Then user.conf is needed too, but that's widely available now.
[G1 Android Development] opticalc:
I tried the hofo308 on my Rogers/32a but I cant seem to get bluetooth to work. SO I need to try another ROM.... I screwed it all up at first with tons of FC's but I redid it and created a 576MB swap (2x the size of RAM) and also created some other ext2/3/4 partition and managed to get a working phone. now...

The wiki for cyanogenmod says nothing about creating swap/ext partitions... Can I get some guidance as to setting up a brand-new flash card with the cyanogenmod rom?

I dont quite understand the process of creating different partitions and formatting while in recovery mode. When we do the partitions and formatting operations, is all this happening on the SD memory card? Or does some of it happen on the devices built in storage?

Im just not exactly sure if I need to create ext2 or ext3 or ext4 partitions and in what order to do it all in?

So say I start with blank 8gb card that is FAT32 for the whole memory space... what partitions do I need to create and in what order do I do them in?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Best setup is size of the sdcard-linux swap size (~96 and down)-the size of the ext partition (~512). So in recovery console do (warning you will lose everything on sdcard)...

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

rm 3

rm 2

rm 1

print -to find size of sdcard

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 (end point so if using the above numbers this would be 608 less than the total size)

mkpartfs primary ext2 (end point of the fat32) (+512)

mkpartfs primary linux-swap (end point of ext2) (end of sdcard)

print -make sure they were done right

quit

reboot recovery

Now go back to console and upgrade ext2 to ext3/4 if you want.

If your not though then connect the phone to your comp. and type in ums_enable, so you can mount the sdcard and transfer the rom over.

You don't really need the linux-swap partition however, unless you plan on turning it on

apps2sd and battery life

I know some others have mentioned battery life. personally, my battery life on 4.2.5 was fine until I partitioned my sd card and started running apps2sd. now i'm only getting less than 8 hours of battery life with only moderate use of phone, browser, and music w/ 3g on. compache is off. is apps2sd known for drastically decreasing battery life? or is it some particular combo of 4.2.5 and apps2sd? could it also have anything to do with the fact that my theme has a custom lockscreen?

I love my current setup, apps2sd has made a huge difference in speed even with compcache off. however I need my phone to be able to run all day. anyone else have this dilemma?
[G1 Android Development] themetatron:
i have been using 128 swap with a 1gb ext4, but that just habit coming from hero roms. my battery generally lasts about 12 hours, compache on, and running 3g.

I had 4.2.4 installed previously, and updated with cyanogen updater. It downloaded the file and i booted into recovery, made a nandroid backup and applied the update.

The phone was stuck on the spash screen for about 5mins before I booted into recovery and restored my nandroid update....

Now it seems like I've gotten the 4.2.5 update but when i check my info on the phone it still shows at 4.2.4 ??
[G1 Android Development] Algernon:
I had the same problem with the maps update the first time it was updated through the market (a few months back). I tried again the next day and it downloaded fine. Updated this Maps over my hacked version today without any problems. I think that there might be issues with downloading popular app updates right when they're posted, possibly due to congestion or the apk not being rolled out properly to the various mirrors yet.

#7 is where I messed up

please help. I wiped my G1 because it was way too slow so when I wiped it then flashed Dream (G1): signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip. Normally, I would just instantly flash 4.2.5 and be on my way. But by some act of satan I accientally rebooted the phone, (#7 below). and now, When I hold home and power, I am getting a message now that says...

E:Cant open/cahce/recovery/command

and when I click on apply sdcard:update.cip [Alt+S], it says

E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip (bad) Installation aborted

==============================================

Flash Android 1.6 & CyanogenMod 4.2.5/4.1.9999

You will now install the actual OS of the phone. First you will install the legal Google apps, and then you will install CyanogenMod on top of those apps.

1.Turn your phone off.

2.Hold the Home button while booting to get to Recovery mode.

3.If you wish to have an option to return to your factory settings, select nandroid backup now. If not, continue.

4.Press Alt-W (or select "wipe data/factory reset")Press home to confirm

5.Press Alt-A (or select "apply any zip from sd")

Dream (G1): signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip

Magic32A / Magic32B (MyTouch): See This Page

6.Press home to confirm and let installation complete

7.STOP - DO NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE

8.Once again, press Alt-A (or select "apply any zip from sd")

Dream (G1): update-cm-4.2.5-signed.zip

Magic32A / Magic32B (MyTouch): See This Page

9.Press home to confirm and let installation complete

10.When this is complete, reboot your phone by pressing Home & Back.

11.Wait. Your phone will say writing radio image and then reboot. This will take a couple of minutes. Be patient!

12.If the phone enters Recovery mode after rebooting, press Home & Back again to reboot it once more. You should see the blue CyanogenMod Android logo this time.

Well since your error is an actual command error, I simply put it in the search and I found this.. hope it works

try these steps from my root walkthrough:

3. Download the recover_testkeys.img

http://files.lucidrem.us/_fd.php?fil...y_testkeys.img

4. Copy recovery_testkeys.img to SD FAT32

You must type "mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system" no quotes. Before the cat commands.

14. Type cat /sdcard/recovery_testkeys.img > /data/local/recovery.img[enter]

15. Type cat /sdcard/recovery_testkeys.img > /system/recovery.img[enter]

16. Type flash_image recovery /system/recovery.img[enter]
[G1 Android Development] Chosen_on184:
well instructions for doing this is on the first page with the wiki link. i never rooted with one click i did it the old fashioned way .. regardless to flash this new rom you need two zip files .. you can find them on the first post on this thread ( zip files you add when you connect your phone to your computer and pull down the notification bar on your phone and click option that says select files to copy to/from computer) once you do that you wipe the phone .. then apply the dev zip file first .... then cyans rom zip .. instructions are all on the wiki page .. read them 3 or 4 times to make sure you get a full understanding before going ahead ( hope this helps)

...joined the bandwagon.

I fully gave up on sense ui based roms having working bluetooth so I decided to hop on the bandwagon. I also got upset with the lack of theme support for other 1.6 based roms. I know you do some great work so I won't regret the switch. I will report any issues, even though I doubt I will see any. Keep up the good work.

Google maps install

Well, I too had problems installing new Maps so here is what I did to get it installed:

1. adb remount

2. adb shell

3. Open market and begin downloading google maps

4. Wait for it to finish and while installing: (watch logcat or something)

4. cp /data/app/*.tmp /system/app/Maps.apk

5. reboot

6. profit!

I'm having the same issue on my Dream with CM 3.2.5 as well. It installed fine on my wife's unrooted G1 as well as a buddy's G1 3.2.5. I've tried uninstalling a few times and that doesn't work, I've also tried installing via the market numerous times as well as booting in sfae mode and trying the install. Last thing I tried was clearing the data via the native apps manager and running the install again and it still failed. Now I'm getting random google maps f/c alerts.

I just had my buddy give me the gmaps apk file and that wouldn't install either.

Any ideas?

Second...OMFG!!!!! Maps with Navi!!!! Ima explode its so awesome!!!...

actually no, turn by turn spoken directives are for pack animals, like mules or dogs.

Consult the map before making the journey and you don't need a short bus special g1 voice telling you to make wrong turns.

Consult the thread for said app and you'll recieve answers.

Just got my new Class 6 8GB microSDHC in the mail today and decided I had sat in the rafters long enough. Just flashed with 4.2.5 and I have to say this is by far the best ROM I've ever had on my G1.

Cyanogen, you are the man. Thank you!

(was delighted to find it even included Work Email -- something that kept me from switching from my previous Rogers-based ROM)
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
fix_permissions does a bunch of chmod commands over the executable files. Theoretically, if you haven't upgraded your ROM, any application upgrade should not have any issues that requires fix_permissions. If you upgrade the ROM, then occasionally you will have to run it (usually if google apps refuse to work properly). It's normal :)
