Umm.... I dont know i f this has been posted already or not but task killer is still crashing on me and so is iheartradio. This might be a bug or a problem with the apps I ran the fix_permissions scrpit so idk taskkiller worked for me on the other builds and I haven't updated the app so it might be a problem with this build. but keep up the good work

[G1 Android Development] sleepykit:
When I click on the link, I get an APK file. Maybe you have it set to open APK files with some kind of zip file explorer by default? But inside of it, I do see two folders and three files, so it seems about right.

Maybe right-click on the link and do a "save as"?
[G1 Android Development] JamieD81:
that was my problem, i renamed the zip to apk and it worked
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
i've been wondering, why put it out there as a .zip, and require people to rename it to an apk? why not just put it up as an .apk? :confused: or send the .apk out to the world inside a .zip folder...we download the .zip, open, and wallah...we got our .apk file....

cause its not just an apk inside it? are we renaming it an apk to fool the installer or something?
[G1 Android Development] Trek55:
Yes indeed, when click it says Contacts.apk, but when download it actually downloading zip, it should says rename zip to apk...thanks anyways... confusing..
[G1 Android Development] JamieD81:
i dunno it says .apk when you highlight it, just downloads as a zip. i renamed the zip to apk and followed the terminal instructions, restarted phone and works perfect

Anyone having an alarm clock issue? I have had this previously on one of cyanogen's builds. However, I was able to fix the issue by fixing uid and fix_permissions in console then a reboot.

I've tried that sequence with this build and it hasn't work. It'll show the alarm icon on the status bar however when the time comes for the alarm to go off nothing happens, not even the pop-up asking me to snooze or dismiss.

BrutalHoe was able to assist me last time but as stated above his sequence is not working now....Any other ideas?
[G1 Android Development] psguardian:
I'm not sure how you're getting 3 files out of my link, I copied the link from 2nd post & when I click it (even from my post) it pops a download box for Contacts.apk not Contacts.zip

All the people who have re-posted the SAME link I did, got the SAME .apk file from it that I did.

~psguardian

EDIT : Just saw your 2nd post, I hate file type association. glad you got it straitened out.

4.2.13 is blazing fast

Updated to 4.2.13 and it is blazing fast. 4.2.12.2 was fast too, but this seems to be a bit faster.

Steps:

0. Boot into AmonRa recovery.

1. Nandroid+ext backup

2. Wipe dalvik

3. Flash ROM

4. Fix UID mismatches

5. console: mount -a && cp /sdcard/Contacts.apk /system/app

6. reboot

7. Download CFS + Memhack

8. terminal: su && flash_image boot /sdcard/downloads/boot.img && fix_permissions && reboot
[G1 Android Development] danshur:
I had some weird issues like that with another rom, just reenable the alarms or recreate them and see if it works but first check that your ringtone is not named "Silent", cause you know .. it wont make any sound cause its silent like it says.

The problem for me before was that silent ringtone was the first ringtone in the list and was set by default after upgrade
[G1 Android Development] njgheewala:
How did you do step 5, I tried and it said cannot create Contacts.apk it already exists ?? I also tried removing it but that did not work since its read only and tried installing through Astro and it only gave me option to uninstall. So, should I uninstall the old one and install the new one (stable)??
[G1 Android Development] martin_secretary:
type in "bash" first.
[G1 Android Development] samsci:
found something interesting

Since updating to v4.2.13 everything is blazing fast. One thing I did find though is when I went into taskkiller, all the apps that were running in the background were not running anymore, which was great.

What was odd however, is I have the swapper app as well. So, I started the swapper app up - swap size 96mb, swappiness set to 80 and created the swap, and lo' and behold all the apps started coming back again.

I ended up having 6 or 7 apps running in taskkiller that I end up having to kill. When I turn off swapper, I don't have the issue anymore.

Kind of odd, but wanted to share with everyone.
[G1 Android Development] Stone Cold:
Help! I honked my phone!

I've been using CyanogenMod ROMs since 4.1.99 pretty much trouble free (they rock!).

I just flashed the new .13 ROM. I happened to notice that the uptime command in the shell didn't report load averages properly (0.00 0.00 0.00 is displayed along with the uptime). Out of curiosity, I went into Dev Tools and turned on the show processes option to see if the averages showed correctly there. After about 10 seconds, the Android boot screen displayed. Once back to the lock screen about 20 seconds later, right back to the Android boot screen.

From here I plugged it in and rebooted it with ADB. But it rebooted to the same behavior. Now I'm stuck!

I can restore the bart backup I did before flashing the ROM, but I'd rather try and fix it first...

Any suggestions? Is there a place (in /data perhaps) that Dev Tools keeps its settings so I can whack them from recovery mode?

Help!

EDIT: Wierd... The uptime command works just fine in recovery mode...

EDIT2: Here's some info that looks important from the log...
[G1 Android Development] theMAGNUM:
Tried this..still nothing
[G1 Android Development] ytj87:
This is what you'd expect. With more memory, the OS keeps apps in memory. Hence the counterproductive nature of a large swap file. The OS will not terminate apps if it has lots of memory to play with.

I've run all sorts of CC and swap combos. I've now settled on the RAM-hack with no CC and no swap. I don't have memory issues in regular use. When I first got the G1, Goog maps would cause a low mem error and not run the traffic layer, for example. Until I run into a problem like that again, I'm going without CC/swap.
[G1 Android Development] Chosen_on184:
you could go to wysie dialer thread .. its the same one cyan uses in the roms and just flashing the update dialer zip fixes the bug in the new cyan rom
[G1 Android Development] taz2781:
Well that can be a solution, but if i do that, i will have to re-organize all my desktops and that will be a pain... i will hope the GDE developer make a fix for that, update and hope that repair everything
[G1 Android Development] merdely:
For step 5, I chose the console from the AmonRa recovery image and typed the commands exactly as you see them (one at a time, though. not with the &&s).
[G1 Android Development] Stone Cold:
So I hunted through /data and found nothing that seemed to hold settings (just an empty directory called 'com.android.development').

I'm stuck!
[G1 Android Development] gsgleason:
Really? Faster than dwang or super D? I had been using cyanogenmod for a long time, but it kept getting slower and laggier, so I decided to look around and settled on dwang. I'll give this a try if it's actually fast, though.
[G1 Android Development] liquid8d:
great job on 4.2.13... seems to be running very well (and quick) for me! Now have to check if some of the bugs I was having (screen sleeping and wifi taking a long time to connect) are fixed.
[G1 Android Development] Damented:
Hello,

I am currently running 4.2.13. I am having trouble with the android market. When I try to download anything I get( The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again) and force close. Then the app just hangs at starting downloading. I have tried to wipe and reinstall and I still get the same thing. everything else works great. Anyone have and ideas?
[G1 Android Development] philosophics:
fix_permissions???
[G1 Android Development] Stone Cold:
I needed my phone back and couldn't wait any longer. I ended up restoring my bart backup. I'm back up now and the uptime command works fine in this rom (4.2.12.2).

Does anyone else see this issue? Should I post something in the issue tracker?
[G1 Android Development] samsci:
Thanks, I sort of suspected this, but was not sure, so wanted to put this out there to see what others thought. Figured with more more memory, apps would gobble it up and that would be that. With less, there would be nothing for them to run in. Was hoping though, they would just not run unless you would start them :) Oh well.
[G1 Android Development] carbonfiber1:
Can't Make a call

Making a call in any way from contacts.apk results in a system crash. Even using dialer. Anyone else have this issue? How can i fix this. I already installed the fixed contacts.apk, didn't know how to push so i just put the apk on the root and installed using linda, is that the problem?
[G1 Android Development] pityr:
anyone know if there is a 10mb hack for .13 yet?

nm, found it
[G1 Android Development] tjhart85:
It needs to replace a /system/app file, so Linda probably wouldn't have been able to replace the original one.

I just followed these directions and it worked for me.

The commands I used were:

cd C:\Users\tj\Desktop\ **Just make sure this directory is the same one that has the new Contacts.apk & that you renamed the file from .apk.zip to .apk [if applicable]**

adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/Contacts.apk

I used the 2.8BETA found here though. But all the creator did was apply the same patch, so it shouldn't make a difference.
[G1 Android Development] nafeasonto:
WHy are you saying "question is". Yes I installed the signed rom first, before doing that I did a wipe, then installed the signed ROM. Let the phone reboot and let the package install, then it rebooted again, and went into recovery mode. Then installed cyanogen's mod. Then rebooted again and it just gets stuck at the G1 part.
[G1 Android Development] nyijedi:
So I've read plenty of posts saying that upgrading from ext2 to ext4 really improves the speed of the rom, but is it worth it to upgrade from ext3 to ext4? I'm currently running on ext3 and haven't had any serious lag problems, but I'm wondering if an upgrade would still yield a noticeable speed increase. Does anyone who has upgraded from ext3 to ext4 have any input?
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Well, I've been on ext4 since day one (once I figured a2sd was a good thing) and see no reason to settle "for less".

/Mats
[G1 Android Development] nafeasonto:
Seriously though something is not right. I have a feeling when I went to upgrade the file system something scrwed up. ANd magically my phone reverted back tot he HTC firmware so now I got to friggan flash to RC29 and re flash the damn recovery. Something is seriously wrong here, because I am following the instructions.
[G1 Android Development] marc_hav:
You shouldn't have let the signed ROM boot... Cyanogen's instructions said to to reboot AND HOLD HOME so you would immediately go back in recovery after which you should flash Cyanogen's mod.
[G1 Android Development] prettyboy85712:
If I remember correctly Cyanogen stated, there is no performance difference between ext3 and ext4 on the G1.
[G1 Android Development] nafeasonto:
No the instructions said to let the signed ROM unpackage first with that box icon, and AFTER that it restarts then you go into recovery mode again and then do cyanogen's mod, look in the instructions.
[G1 Android Development] schwiz:
So after I installed this rom (.999) I had my G1 plugged into the wall and when I unplugged it the green LED indicating the phone is charging stayed on and I couldn't get my phone screen to turn back on by pressing menu I had to pull the battery eventually. Anyone else have this issue?
[G1 Android Development] nyijedi:
Sorry dude, you're just wrong. This is directly from the instructions - Cyan even put it in caps:

7- Apply sdcard:choose zip *PICK dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip* from the list

ALLOW IT TO INSTALL FIRST.....you will see the "unbox" image.........then it will automatically reboot HOLD HOME button while it reboots.
[G1 Android Development] unu$ual:
Yes you'r right. It is sdparted.txt not .exe
[G1 Android Development] nafeasonto:
Yes dude you just quoted exactly what I just said , it says right above me let it INSTALL First you will see the "unbox" image...

Am I seeing things here?
[G1 Android Development] nafeasonto:
I just re-installed 4.11 now and it works fine, i am going to wait for a more stable version of this "new" rom.
[G1 Android Development] nyijedi:
Sorry, I just don't see how this is open to interpretation. Cyan says that after the signed image installs, you'll see the unbox image. He then says after the unbox image, the phone will automatically reboot. He then says to hold home while it reboots.

So, if you actually let the signed image load up and run, you didn't hold home while it automatically rebooted, as per the instructions.

Honestly, I can see making this mistake, but to argue over whether the instructions were clear or not isn't fair, IMHO.

EDIT: Also, the instructions say let it INSTALL, not let it LOAD after the automatic reboot.
[G1 Android Development] lhommedangereux:
edited instructions

you are good at making ROMs but you stink at making instructions... lol, no offense... if i wasn't familiar with flashing ROMs i woulda messed up repeatedly and gave up... here are some easier to follow instructions for noobs... i just copy/pasted your instructions and changed some parts that i think will make a big difference to someone out there... especially with all the recent cyanogenmod publicity.

prerequisite-ROOT YOUR PHONE see youtube for instructions.

1- Perform a Backup using nandroid, etc.

2- Download: "signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip" from http://developer.htc.com/adp.html#s3

3-place both "signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip" from link above and the CM ROM (cm-4.1.99-signed.zip) on your SD Card.

4- Reboot into recovery mode *Home+Power*

5- WIPE!!!! This will allow google apps to function, correctly.

6- Apply sdcard: any zip then *PICK dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip* from the list, after installing it will restart once..... then you will see the "unboxing" image.........then it will automatically reboot again and this time HOLD HOME button while it reboots.

7- Apply sdcard: any zip *Pick cm-4.1.99-signed.zip* from the list.

8- Reboot again.
[G1 Android Development] SharpieMarker:
Is there any way to restore my applications, text messages, settings, etc from a backup of a previous version? I really hate setting everything up again and losing information.
[G1 Android Development] :
your directions are no different than Cyanogen,

you=FAIL

Cyanogen=FTW
[G1 Android Development] nyijedi:
You can make a nandroid and TRY to install the new version without wiping (i.e., follow all of cyan's instructions EXCEPT wiping). I did this myself and am having ZERO problems, and others have reported the same thing. However, if you do have any problems, you're going to have to wipe as your next step. It's worth a shot.

Just remember, if you have any issues, don't blame the rom before wiping.

[G1 Android Development] Damented:
I cant find .11 to download anymore
[G1 Android Development] RAQemUP:
Go to your phone's settings, then go to applications, then manage applications, then go down to market and uninstall update. This fixed my issue where if I downloaded something from the market and it tried to install, market would crash. Uninstalling the update will not delete Market off your phone. It will only revert the Market app to version 1620 from the 1660 update.
[G1 Android Development] Damented:
I don't have that option to uninstall update
[G1 Android Development] RAQemUP:
I'm sorry that doesn't show. Maybe try to clear the cache of Market in that same area?
[G1 Android Development] Damented:
ya tried that ...
[G1 Android Development] RAQemUP:
I'll try one more suggestion and if this doesn't work, I'm sorry but I tried.

Have you tried pushing the Market app from the defanged rom onto your phone? copy the Vending.apk from the /system/app/ folder of the defanged rom onto the root of your sd card and type in these commands in Terminal emulator:

su

mount -o rw,remount /system

cp /sdcard/Vending.apk /system/app

Then just quit and reboot the phone. <Fingers crossed>
[G1 Android Development] Damented:
hmm i don't see the vending.apk file in there
[G1 Android Development] RAQemUP:
Are you looking in DRC83_base_defanged.zip? It is not in the CM roms.
[G1 Android Development] Damented:
so just put that file on my sd card and type in those commands
[G1 Android Development] Damented:
i did all that but before I reboot it says copy source to Dest , or Multiple source to directory

options:

then gives a list of options.

sorry I am a newb

Hi,

I'm having troubles with CM Updater. It finds CyanogenMod-4.2.12.2 as latest version and never finds any theme. What am I doing wrong?
[G1 Android Development] ciwrl:
Installed how so? Like a regular .apk? Then that is incorrect.

Proper way as follows:

Place contacts.apk from the 1st post on your sd (rename if your comp saves it as contacts.apk.zip to contacts.apk)

Then in terminal emulator type exactly what follows (hitting enter after each line)

su

mount -o rw,remount /system

cp /sdcard/Contacts.apk /system/app/Contacts.apk

mount -o ro,remount /system

NOTICE: As written above, there is no space after the comma's, make sure you enter it that same way in the terminal

Have wiped and reset data - installed base image and then CM build countless times but still the camera will FC on me. Originally thought this was a driver related issue due to a bad download but cant get it to work on any build.

Have had this camera issue since 4.1.11.1

Anyone have any suggestions on what is happening with either camera or alarm clock?
