I think most of us run themes, which take care of our visual needs. We let Cyanogen take care of the behind the scenes stuff, and allow the graphically inclined amongst us to take care of the pretty crap.

great rom Cyano, you rock everything works great! very fast and smooth on my HTC DREAM
[G1 Android Development] DaveANH:
I'm still on the beta but just wanted to say thanks for the great rom. I can't believe the speed improvement I saw when I loaded it last week.
[G1 Android Development] flashfox:
Yep, I noticed that also. But I only had to run "fix_permissions" once... when I moved to the 4.1.9 branch (didn't need from 4.1.9 to 4.1.99 to 4.1.999). My recent update from 4.1.999 to 4.2.1 went well and all of my apps work. The only small glitch was that my G1 locked on the "G1" screen. I had to re-install 4.2.1. From that point forward, all seems OK (tested my apps and rebooted several times to verify stability).

I haven't had the need to wipe my ext3 partition (knocking on wood).
[G1 Android Development] R.Giskard_Reventlov:
Glad it worked for you too, deekdeek :)

Actually, your success led me to do some more investigating. I compared libwebcore.so from the 4.1.99 and 4.2.1 zip and they are identical (!). This got me thinking ..

I decided to redo the 4.2.1 update again on my G1 from the beginning (boot to recovery, wipe, apply HTC zip, apply CM zip, etc.) and as expected was getting the browser issues again. I then proceed to perform the adb push again, but I used the libwebcore.so from 4.2.1 itself (instead from 4.0.4 that I did before) .. and it works :)

So it seems that somehow the adb remount + push process might have fixed something that failed if I just do the normal update method. That's just my guess, no idea if that is really the case.

Maps 3.2

I think I've done the requisite searches, can't find any info right on point. How exactly do I find the Maps 3.2 version that actually can be installed on this new ROM? I've downloaded it from somewhere and put it on my sd card, then when I try to install it with "Apps Installer" I get an error message that says "There is a problem parsing the package". And, can anybody answer the question as to what needs to be done to actually have the compass show on 3.1.2 or any version? I click "show compass im maps" in Spare Parts, open the map, it ain't there, and then when I go back to Spare Parts it's mysteriously unchecked, automatically. Sounds like the whole compass concept is a ruse? What am I missing?
[G1 Android Development] Synbios:

[G1 Android Development] buzzdroidx:
i have never seen a compass in maps in any build which is disappointing to me as well

I noticed (myself included for 2 weeks) have had issues with bluetooth and phone calls. Basically, if you have bt headphones and are listening to music and get a call.... no sound. In fact, you don't have handset/speaker sound even after turning off bt! You have to reboot to get regular non-bt sound back... right? Well, I found the culprit! It's the crazy radio version you used along with the danger SPL. I forgot that most ROMs don't include a radio version so even after wiping and a totally different ROM, you still have the same issue. Just go back to good old 2.22.19.26I and all your bluetooth problems will go away! I hope this helps someone besides myself. Have fun!
[G1 Android Development] Chosen_on184:
Use terminal to push the map and it should work

Code:

cp /system/app/Maps.apk /sdcard/Maps.bak

mount -o rw,remount /system

cp /sdcard/download/Maps.apk /system/app/Maps.apk

This assumes you downloaded the new Maps.apk to /sdcard/download.. change path in last command if needed

issue with google sign up

i can't sign into google services since CM 4.2.1

earlier i accidentally installed only the HTC build, and while using it (w/o CM) I could sign into google services

i tried to reinstall, reboot, wipe before/after, and fix_permissions

i have to admit that since the C&D issue I continuously had up & down times with google services, but now it appears as if I permanently cannot sign in.

any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] shmigao:

the error message I get is:

"Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server."

which is weird, because all other data services work perfectly (like browser, RSS feed, K-9 Email, etc...)

Themes are slow, themes cost money (or is there anything except for aHome?), aHome is not available in my regions.

I had transparency working with stock rom, I had it in JF, in Cyanogen 4.0.4, so obviously he put some effort to remove it.

I wonder what was the motivation behind this change? Why would he take care of the pretty crap and not just care about the behind the scenes stuff??? :p
[G1 Android Development] downtrodn:
Im not sure if i updated right?? im running 4.2.1 but there are no * Launcher with 5 screens and auto-orientation and compact drawer layout, and the extra settings the first post states.. Am i missing something? ThaNKS
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
Umm, themes are free... Try the Theme Section here at XDA.

The thing is that going from 1.5 to 1.6 the drawables for the widgets (and I guess some other images) have changed. This is a Google thing, not a Cyanogen thing. He has done little (I believe only once has he actually done anything) to modify the appearance, preferring to give a stock look/feel with a whole lot of extra goodness added in.

[G1 Android Development] quakermaas:
I was playing Bejewled today for about 90 minutes when travelling(to and from work, also just over 7 hours without charge and a few calls) and battery was at 70% when I got home, so I think I am getting way better battery performance.

Also the graphics in Bejewled were a lot smoother, especially when there was a lot going on, on the screen.

Think I notice everything a bit smother and it doesn't seem to be getting as hot, loving this update so far :)

Yes, there is an updated mem-patched boot.img file. See here:

[G1 Android Development] cityeyes:
I have this problem (even after a complete wipe) and spare parts does not change the fact that the end button is not working correctly. I've tried switching it back to "Nothing", rebooting, switching it to "Home, then sleep" and rebooting again to no avail.

It seems that a lot of other people are having this problem (and have had it in past builds) I'm seeing the problem crop up as far back as September 17 with a search and there are a lot of people saying they had that problem on the official cyanogen site comments.

Tracker Link for bug: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=272

Oddly, my call button is working just fine. Other than that tiny, completely insignificant end call bug, this rom is running faster and more smoothly than any other Cyanogen rom I've had.

No errors whatsoever past the easily rectifiable touch input FC. Just great. Going to update my wife's phone tonight.

Temporary fix: If you are having problems with the end button, you can set it either to "Go to Home" only or "Go to Sleep" only and it will work. The only option that does not work is "Go to home, then sleep"

download the AdvancedLauncher_v2.1.zip from the first link unzip it on your pc and transfer the apk to your sdcard (or unzip it on your phone using astro) then navigate to the sdcard in astro on your phone and click AdvancedLauncher to install the apk. Press your home key and you will be presented with a screen asking you to select home application select AdvancedLauncher as the default. You will find the launcher options by pressing the menu key on your homescreen and going to more then extended.

Unfortunately it doesn't look as nice as the new CM launcher but hopefully someone can release a skinned version soon, its not been confirmed that it works with the tweak to keep home in memory but I have only seen my home app reload once in a days heavy usage so I think it is.

[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
cyanogen posted a link in the thread to a version of 2.1 with bfs for those who still want it :) personally I'm finding this release the fastest ever even more so than the experimental builds.
[G1 Android Development] DOHCtor:
Yup, this is the fastest build. Only downside is apps being pushed out of memory due to not having compcache. But I can live without it, the speed is amazing.
[G1 Android Development] javon27:
home lock malfunction?

I'm not sure why, but the lock home in memory has resulted in all my icons and widgets to disappear. normally a reboot would fix the issue, but even right after a reboot, the screen got stuck for a second, but then started responding again without my icons and widgets. I think it was a screen rotation that triggered the glitch.

Turning the settings off in spare parts has actually resulted in a much better experience.
[G1 Android Development] downtrodn:
Thanks for the help, only problem is when i unzip the files it comes up as a launcher folder and no apk. Ive installed apk files before through linda, so im familiar with this. Maybe the zip wasnt packed right?
[G1 Android Development] velazcod:
I'm an app developer. :(:confused::(:confused:

After version 4.2 I'm having some problems when developing/testing apps.

1) The Android Logger used for app development in the SDK doesn't work.

2) Setting flags to the WindowManager also doesn't work. For example: getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FL AG_FULLSCREEN);

So far that's the only thing I've found, but its a real problem because maybe, some apps that have this feature will stop working, or won't work properly, and it's hard to debug when the LOGGER is not working.

I have a switchrom and usually I test my apps against the most popular roms.

BTW, until the latest 4.1.99999999 everything was working perfectly fine. I tried wiping (and of course formatting the ext partition)... still not solved.

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
Yeah.. I dumped that setting in favor of the boot image with BFS enabled... much nicer.... hope the bugs aren't too rampant..

[G1 Android Development] downtrodn:
should i download it from the mt3g then install? maybe that will help.. or maybe a pm with the apk...:p

also, as described in the thread for launcher....

- Make a backup of your original launcher: "adb pull /system/app/Launcher.apk LauncherBAK.apk"

- Remount the /system filesystem: "adb remount"

- Unzip the advanced launcher "unzip Launcher_update_x.zip"

- Push the advanced launcher "adb push AdvancedLauncher_replacement.apk /system/app/Launcher.apk"

- Remove the odex file "adb rm /system/app/Launcher.odex"

I don't understand how to do that on a mt3g.... an iphone yes i could. Im too new to this device.

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?n2z5ztlyn33

No need to follow those instructions that's for replacing the default home app, this version installs as a separate app which you select as the default, the old home app is still there if you want to use it again.

[G1 Android Development] copolii:
Constant rebooting fixed

So for me what worked was a complete wipe (including the SD)

re-flashing the rom didn't work, so I backed up my SD card, wrote a million zero's to it (dd is your friend) and re-partitioned it (my apps partition is ext4 now, was ext3).

The I installed the 1.6 HTC image followed by cm 4.2.1 and it has only rebooted once since last night.

It's also significantly faster (or maybe I'm just excited about getting the new rom working).

so if you're having stability problems and re-flashing and wiping doesn't work, it must be one of your apps. I had too much crap installed so I don't know which may have messed it up.
[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
Sigs are important!!

That is why I push for people to put their configs in their signatures!

I have always suspected that the vast majority having problems have either a)too many/mis-behaving widgets b)bad/cheap SD cards and run apps2sd on them or c)Themes that cause the problem.

The issue is there is no way to correlate this because too many people post "I am having xxxx, blaa blaa, or yada yada happening and I don't know why" and then they don't tell us what configuration they are running!

Would like to ask, do I need to flash from 4.1.99 to 4.1.9999 then 4.2.1?

Or I just need to flash from 4.1.99 then direct 4.2.1?
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
So much of the time peoples problems can be solved by formatting their ext partition and doing a fresh install with a wipe. It's easy to get things back after a wipe such as text messages or settings thanks to backup for root users. Anyone who is having problems such as force closes or bad performance take note because it'll more than likely solve it.
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
Anything from 4.1.9x is fine go ahead and flash 2.1 :)

Well spoken well spoken. People need to just stop crying about "Ohh I have so many apps I dont want to have to reinstall all of them." Ohh BooHoo. If you want the Rom to work right then do it Wipe and re-partition your SD Card. Also dont use some crappy cheap Walmart SD Card go buy a Kingston or Sandisk those are good.
