Hello,

Just flashed:

Everythig work fine, even at 384Mhz :eek:

I'm very CM-HAPPY!!!! :D

Thanks Cyan for excellent great job!

[G1 Android Development] anheuer:
Ok, i might have a small problem..

I used this wiki: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod

To get Cyanogen on my magic.

I had the original 1.6 on it.

i downgraded to 1.5

The i came to this part:

# Start up your phone or mount the SD card, then run App Installer and install FlashRec from its APK.

# Launch FlashRec. Use it to back up your recovery images.

# Download the new recovery image from FlashRec (the default URL is for CM-1.4, leave it alone)

# Flash the new recovery image.

# Reboot into recovery mode from FlashRec, or hold Power + Home after shutting down. You should see the new Cyanogen recovery screen.

Whe i tried to press BackupRecovery... it said that it failed..

So i pressed flash new recovery, that did work.

and i wen on to the next step: shut down,.. and start the phone by pressing: Home button + Power button.

Now i see a screen of a phone,... and a big triangle with a "!" in it...

am i now f#cked?

Can anyone tell me how to move forward from this?

thnx

***EDIT****

I did a normal reboot and got in the phone..

i tried to do the backup again.. but i just wont..

Backup failed: could not run command.

Can i now move to the next step? (google apps, and then the new rom)

Or do i need to do anything else before i can move on?

***EDIT***
[G1 Android Development] mattbrown:
I rebooted for the 3rd time, and it seems ok now (had frozen on estrong file explorer)
[G1 Android Development] idkidk:
Quote myself: like in 4.2.4 the bt obex filetransfer don't work anymore (for me) i'm able to connect with pc or smarthphone, but i can't send or receive any files :mad: :confused:

Any experience about this problem?

The whole rest is OK, the market is sooooooo fast! :D

Bye

Hi,

Could you tell me how to get other languages for CM?

Since v.4.2.3 CyanogenMod is no more multilanguage :(

Have you any information about this?

With 4.2.4 and 4.2.5 my phone occasionally reboots itself, anyone else having this problem?
[G1 Android Development] anheuer:
Ok.. i tried the alternative way to do this..

it said that i needed to install the SDK..

and puth the path in the sysme variables.

and then start the phone using the volume key down and power.

the back..

then wait for fastboot to have a yellow bar.

when i do this, the bar is still red... it wont turn yellow... not will it do anything once i give the command on my computer

(vista)

So both ways of flashing my phone are failing :(
[G1 Android Development] bolmedias:
So how fast is this new build? I'm currently running Dwang's latest ROM and it's super quick, but if this is nicer then I'll come back to Cyanogenmod.
[G1 Android Development] ibnz407:
It's extremely fast, really responsive, even with the animations on slow it's still the fastest my G1's been. Especially if you uncheck home locked in memory and enable compcache. You won't go back once you give it a shot.

Language vs speed...

Check bugtracker http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=686&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Version%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars%20Modified

"Priority-Low"...I suggest if you like all languages in the rom, update untill 4.2.2...

With eclair (2.0) coming up it may all be solved...untill then I (L) the speed of 4.2.5 & the return of the videoplayer...

PS. don't forget to add a signature
[G1 Android Development] Scholesville:

[G1 Android Development] mbreezy:
You might want to try going straight vanilla on your phone (unroot, just like out of the box) and starting from scratch. When I went to Cyan from JF a month or so ago I was having problems but I unrooted and started fresh and it ended up working great.
[G1 Android Development] kai84m:
4.2.5 Works fine, the Eclair effects are great!

But the Camera/Camcorder settings bug is still in!!!!
[G1 Android Development] ruipedrovalente:
After the update to 4.2.4 or 4.2.5 the phone just reboot every time I receive an email....:mad:

Had to go back to 4.2.3......

It's there any bug fix?

That's a good job.

I've just update from CM 4.1.11.1 to CM 4.2.5 as instruction at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/

1. It runs so fast, but doesn't support multi-languages.

2. Game teeter is disappear.

3. Wireless Tether for Root Users still force close when I stop tethering as previous version.

Can find anything to my specific situation....

So... i give up...

would have been nice to upgrade to cyanogen...

but this is just not working..
[G1 Android Development] mobilegun:
yup having this same behavior...

I thought about wiping but wasn't sure if it'd help.

Menu bumpers

Hi there,

first of all... 4.2.5 is very fast. Faster than 4.2.4 .

But since new upgrade my Menu bumpers everytime it is activated. Is this a kind of visual effect? Then... how to turn it off?

Thanks,

therealmarv

Anyone else noticed that the Twidroid large widget is screwed up after updating to 4.2.5? It shows the the profile image file path instead of the image.
[G1 Android Development] Shrivel:
The new FB app works fine for me as well. Only thing I wiped was Dalvik cache and did not run fix permissions yet.
[G1 Android Development] acidwashg1:
finally got around to flashing 4.2.5. straight upgrade from a themed 4.2.3.1. no problems at all, didn't need to wipe or even run fix_permissions (lucky I guess). I don't know how you do it cyanogen... this build is BLAZING fast! I noticed that the 4.2+ builds started off a little slow compared to some of the last builds you did with android 1.5. figured it would take some time to get your optimizations into 1.6, but I'm starting to see the old level of performance, if not better. I'm actually browsing and posting on xda from my phone, something that was unbareably slow for me before. now its got some pep in its step. running it with a 32mb compcache at 40 swappiness.

@cyanogen: I suspect that the bfs image for 4.2.4 on your server will overwrite some of the new changes in the 4.2.5, so I'm requesting a new bfs boot image please. if the 4.2.4 boot image will work, please just let us know. I NEED bfs+compcache on this build, I think it'll run even faster =P. thanks for all your hard work =)

edit:

new facebook app is working fine for me too, I just used it with no problems. I had to install it with adb install, but that was only issue.
[G1 Android Development] therealmarv:
Ok got it. I looked at github SourceCode and it seems to be a feature and not a bug ;)

But an option to turn it off (I think not everybody likes it) would be good.
[G1 Android Development] mvv_hyd:
Yeah.. few others have mentioned that too..... miight have to wait for the next cyan release
[G1 Android Development] mattg:
Spare parts - Window Animations - Off :)
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Yeah, +1. AppManager seems to get broken in 4.2.5. Both me and my friend experience FC's every time we launch the app on our respective devices.

I'm still getting the auto reboots on wallpaper cycling apps. Again, just plus one'ing it so people know they aren't alone. After upgrading to 4.2.5, I reactivated the AutoSwitch option in WallSwitch and the reboots restarted so there is still something amiss there.

That's how I've been doing it as well. Never an issue that way. The last time I tried to use the updater (going to 4.0.4 I believe) the download failed have way through, phone rebooted by itself, and ended up damaging my SD card so I haven't tried it again. However, I always reinstall the app after a wipe or what not so I know when a new version is out.

Another for AppManager. It never seems to want to play right with Cyan Roms, but if you are asking me to choose one or the other, you know Cyan wins every time.

All that being said, this is you best rom yet Cyan. This thing is so damn fast it's ridiculous. I think it's time for someone to have another beer.

Apps2SD issue - How remove Advanced Launcher

hi, I tried to remove Advanced Launcher (since I'm having instant force close when rotating home screen) but none of the rm, uninstall or whatever commands mentioned in Advanced Launcher thread didn't work. I think it has something to do with Apps2sd feature.

Any idea how to get rid off Advanced Launcher? It is the replacement version 2.1. Well, if you could solve my force close problem that would be even better but I don't think you can.

My phone: G1 Cyanogen 4.2.5

whats compache for? just installed cm 4.2.5 whbats new? wheres eclair?

Compcache = faster, if ur asking about it that's all you need to know. As of eclair your getting urself in a bit of a rush there buddy, read thread/blog/twitter/post. Its all there.
[G1 Android Development] noizeuk:
Thought i'd just say I auto flashed using CMUpdater and it loaded no problem. One problem that was mroe or less widespread was the auto force close I encountered with most apps except standard (gmail, phone, dialer, browser etc).

A quick fix_permissions sorted this out so don't be so disheartened if your new updated build does this.

Hey cyan ! Awesome work but r there any themes 4 this new rom ?
[G1 Android Development] Janis:
Still random rebooting. ???

4.2.4 and 4.2.5

How can I capture something that will help identify why this is happening?
[G1 Android Development] no6969el:
For everyone having issues, PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW!!

I have a very known solution to anyone having issues after flashing to the 4.2.5 from 4.2.4....

First to be safe flash back to 4.2.4, boot

reboot into recovery then perform wipe.

After that flash to the 4.2.5

without booting... repair EXT.

Reboot and wait for it to load, setup again, sign into Gmail, then immediately open marketplace and accept the agreement.

If you want the navigation app and facebook now is the time to reboot and flash that zip file and let it boot in.

Make sure you then install google talk,(if you had it allready then uninstall and reinstall.)

Everything should be working now guaranteed! (well not guaranteed but you have some pretty damn good odds)... My facebook app wasnt working along with some random forcecloses and this fixed it, i tired EVERYthing else and it didnt work! Good luck and thank you Cyanogen for the best ROM EVER!!
[G1 Android Development] lancealtar:
Cyanogen,

I don't know what you did, but THANK YOU! This build (4.2.5) is seriously fast. It just seems to zip along. Wow, man, just wow!
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
Anything more than one wipe is overkill and retarded overkill at that.

Also: wiping after flashing removes important stuff, so your "extra precaution" is going to cause more problems than it's worth.

Repair EXT is good.

rm /data/dalvik-cache/* before booting new upgrade is good (and the only prophylactic fix that can't hurt anything)

fix_permissions is ok if you're trying to solve a problem (and the one inside the actual rom is much newer and better than the one in recovery, so do it from terminal emulator)

wiping is ok if you're trying to solve a big problem, but flash the rom again after wiping

wiping after flashing is never a good idea.
[G1 Android Development] no6969el:
Ok thank you I edited the directions...I didnt do the second wipe on mine and thought it wouldnt hurt to do it again, clearly bad choice on my part... thank you for informing me!

I assure all that this procedure works!
[G1 Android Development] Yaboiaj:
Yes, I opened up CM Updater, pushed check now and downloaded in a little under 2 minutes. Gotta love wifi :-)
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
HTC proprietary application... hence, can not be included!
[G1 Android Development] no6969el:
out of curiosity if you let the HTC 1.6 recovery rom load (i know you will lose root but for the sake of testing) does that boot? or does it get stuck in the same spot.. i dont know if you would want to wait for someone more educated in the underlying of it.. but im a pretty damn good troubleshooter and that would prove if its his rom, or the nature of what you ahve to do to get his rom to work. Another thing would be to see if his old rom works, the 4.19999 or whatever it was that only required one flash... (the one google spazed about) I dont know though just offering my ideas.
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Difficult, but here's what's on my mind:

1. Regularly delete /data/dontpanic/last_kmsg. I think this will make the file "more up to date", i.e. it will contain records of more recent crashes.

2. Clear the log (yeah right, but when??) using logcat -c. I think you have to be really fast in capturing the log once the reboot happens. I can't check now because I have stupid problems with ADB on OpenSUSE, but maybe there is a way to extend the log buffer. Check this with logcat --help.

Then after the crash pull out these two, and hopefully there will be some useful info there. I don't know if this helps at all, and I have only experienced the reboot once, so I haven't really had a chance to test.

S.
[G1 Android Development] Ronnymes:
I love this ROM v4.2.5, its fast and good looking :)

But ( there's the but ) can you ad more languages to it Cyanogen?

You did a great job, by building this ROM... can't wait for Eclair!
[G1 Android Development] BloodyWasHere:
Actually, yeah, htc's recovery rom works fine.. and so does every other rom.. ive tried narrowing it down as much as possible.. i tried 4.19999, and every single one before that including 4.04, all the way untill the 3.6 cupcake.. and 3.6 seems to be the only one that works.. (course that's waay outdated). im not trying to say its the rom at fault... nah theyre awesome.. i run it on all my other phones.. its just this damn phone that doesnt wanna take it.. while it can run almost every other possible rom..
[G1 Android Development] no6969el:
Wow so yea you troubleshoot like me.. eliminate ALL possibilities... I hope cyan or someone helps you soon..

As for me I just found another issue... two times already I believe right after using Gmail (sending an attachment) the phone will go black and VERY faintly you can see the boot logo (not the G1 but the android) in the middle.. and its active (its moving like it does when you reboot) then it will get bright after like 30 seconds and load into the phone as if it rebooted... strange? Ima check the bug list to see if its on it. If not ima add it.
[G1 Android Development] djengizz:
This sounds very similar to a problem i had with data getting corrupted somewhere in the process of flashing.

If you have access to adb i would advise you to pull the system folder from your device and compare it to the one from the Cyanogen zip you've downloaded. Use any free MD5 tool and compare the checksums generated. Start with the /system/framework folder since that's your most likely suspect.

If you find a difference than boot up your device (either in recovery or until it gets to the bootloop) and manually push the corrupted file (well, not the corrupted one of course, it's equivalent from the downloaded zip). It should than boot fine.

I know it's a lot of work and it might not even help but this solved it for me and i had very similar logs.
[G1 Android Development] cashless:
Ok, so I've updated to 4.2.5, GREAT ROM!!! Then I ran update_navigation.zip in recovery and flashed my good ole' BUUF 0.6.0 theme. Now whenever I attempt to open the market it immediately closes right after. I found Market Enabler 3.0, installed it and I can now the title bar where the market's EULA comes up but it closes right after that. UGH!

Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions?

Oh yeah, I also can't get Navigation to show up. :( (not nearly as concerned with this one though.)
[G1 Android Development] BloodyWasHere:
damn.. it just pisses me off.. like it was made inferior to others.. and i cant just return it saying "it doesnt run cyans rom".. ah well....

woah... sounds like your phones possessed dude.... lol
[G1 Android Development] BloodyWasHere:
wait hold on... you want me to pull the system folder of my current rom?? doesnt that get overwritten when cyans rom is flashing??

[G1 Android Development] BloodyWasHere:
oo, i wish i could do that lol, my original problem is not being able to boot the rom, period. it gets stuck on the mytouch splash screen, and when i'd look at the logcat, it would continuously loop at 31 percent.. (for 4.2.4, other versions loop at a different spot)
[G1 Android Development] MortICi:
Never mind, i am special.

4.2.5 update thru updater

my screen is showing:

Formatting CASHE...

it's been there for a while, do I just reboot now?
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
I see lots of people saying 4.2.5 is fast..

Maybe this is why:

$cat /proc/cpuinfo
...
BogoMIPS: 527.15
...

On idle, it stays on either 383 or 527, but mostly on 527!

No wonder its fast... See how my battery likes it. I know the CPU doesn't for sure :D

Also, BenchmarkPi now does the Pi mojo in about 13 secs (as opposed to nearly 18-19 on 4.2.4)...as a consequence of the above.

Stuck in bootloop after eclair theme install

OK, I'm totally blonde today.

....but it *was* working on 4.2.4., which is still very interesting to me.

OK, so I tried the Nav thing to get the theme to work, and no go. Just a heads up to those wanting to get the theme. It didn't work for me, but reflashing 4.2.5 got me out of the bootloop.
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
Have you at least wiped dalvik-cache before reboot with the theme?
[G1 Android Development] djengizz:
No, that's normal. Cyan extracts the Google apps so there not in his release.

It won't work, upgrade the theme.
