In an attempt to shove this thread back to actual ROM bugs instead of "I didn't read instructions and install things correctly" or "how he heck do I get this HTC 1.6 thingamajigg" I'd like to throw my hat into the increasingly large pile of hats of people who are missing text messages.

Tonight I had my girlfriend count how many text messages she had sent me and I counted how many times my phone gave me a notification, how many times I got nothing, and how many times I received the notification and the message.

Out of 20 messages, I received 12. 4 notifications with no messages. With 4 completely absent messages. (Even tried Handscent SMS, don't even get me started on how bad that turned out. I was lucky to get notifications if my keyguard was on.) Now for a guy that sends several thousand text messages a week, this ratio bothers me greatly. I now have no clue how many messages I may have missed for work, from clients, old friends, Santa Clause, or even the Easter Bunny.

Now I know you guys are desperate to try and get this rom installed, however, I'm much more interested in getting this bug fixed for those of us that successfully read the instructions :)

Yes, this post is full of sarcasm and poking fun at those of you that have no idea what you are doing, we were all there once.

Running straight v4.2.3.1 on Tmo G1 hardwaren

Yes yes, I know. Use the search function! Better yet, have you tried wiping?! Or even, have you read all 420+ pages to see if anyone else has solved this issue?

Did, done, sure but I'm not looking for a solution really, just making sure cyan knows it's pretty big whopper of a deal and hope it doesn't get over looked in anymore releases.

Keep up the great work, and as always have a great night.

I had the same problem with xp. While the phone is plugged in I kept trying to replace the driver or uninstall then install from the device manager/network adapters and that was not working until I chose the option of "Have Disk". I browsed and directed it to C/programfiles/htc/htcdriver/driverfiles/xp_86x then hit open, it gives you a warning of some sort ignore it and continue then it worked. Although this is for xp, I have heard others say windows 7 automatically does this for you though. Good luck! It took me three days to figure it out.
[G1 Android Development] bhilgeman:
Before I upgraded all of my systems to Win7 I had XP PRO SP3 on all of them, I tried tethering through USB on all of them and XP did it automatically, the opposite of what you are saying....

In Win7 I did have disk and directed it to that same directory and no luck....

Is anyone running adb or USB tether with Win7

Is anyone else having autosync issues since updating to 4.2.3.1? My gmail inbox doesn't seem to be updating nearly as frequently as it was prior to the latest update.
[G1 Android Development] kaioshade:
ok, i flashed the proper images to my phone. and installed the rom.

hangs at g1 screen.

i flashed sensehero fine enough, but cyanogen just hangs there.

Any advice?
[G1 Android Development] coleary11:
I've been having the same issue. glad to see im not the only one. I love cyanogen, but this really is a pretty big problem.
[G1 Android Development] bhilgeman:
Yes I can't send emails from gmail app...
[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
Win 7 and USB No Problems here!

I have been running Win 7 since the eval came out last year with no USB-G1 problems.

Let me check my driver version number real quick......

Back. My "HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface" in Win 7 Device Manager says Driver version is 1.0.9.0.

I think I got that from the 1.6 ADB distribution.
[G1 Android Development] redrim:
I noticed that I was also missing text messages the other day and for reference am still running v4.2.2, so this is not a newly introduced issue.

I appreciate all the hard work that goes into building these mods... I did my due diligence as to any potential installation pitfalls and this occurred after a full wipe
[G1 Android Development] josedecuba:
I'm trying to get back from v 4.2 to 4.1.1.1 or 4.04

:confused::confused:I'm trying to get back from v 4.2.2 to 4.1.1.1 or 4.04 but when I try to choose a file in the recovery,the only file you see is the new rom.. I have 1-2-3 Recovery .....please I need help :confused::confused:maybe the problem is de new recovery 1.2.3
[G1 Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Nope, RA-Dream 1.2.3 is simply a modification of Cyanogen's recovery 1.4. Havent had any issues. You can try using the rooted base from Enmther's TheOfficial Roms if you are having real issue w/ the HTC Recovery image
[G1 Android Development] bigl34461:
i'm having foreclose issuse when someone calls me. I tried the fix permissions command, but that didn't help. So I went back to 4.2.2 and i'm still having the same problem. Any suggestions?

ok can someone help me out with usb teathering

on all my windows vista computers it teathers nicely and works fine but every time i try it on my xp maching it doesnt do crap, it just tells me usb debgguing is connected and doesnt even attempt to install the software

i have adb setup on my xp

an im still tryin to figure how to teather my g1 to my computer(xp)

anyhelp appreciated
[G1 Android Development] steveakast3:
I believe you have to mount the sd card. Let the drivers install, and you should be good to go. Make sure wifi is off on the G1.
[G1 Android Development] mygti02:
ok so i have a really fast question. I have compcache working finally, but when i try to change the settings i get errors. Am i supposed to make the changes in the userinit.sh file or the user.conf file? thanks for the help.

Cyanogen, any idea it 2.0 will be implemented? not expecting it anytime soon, just curious:)
[G1 Android Development] PorchG1:
See this ticket.

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=646

The trick to fix this is to start GTalk and let it log back in.
[G1 Android Development] randombvr:
USB Tether

Without USB tethering checked the phone will ask me to mount after plugging the USB cable into the computer.

With USB tethering checked, the computer will ding when I plug the cable in but the phone won't ask me to mount.

I've tried it both with USB debugging checked and not checked. I have XP.

Can someone please give me directions to make this work?
[G1 Android Development] Kubax83:
anyone got the same problem with error during installation of apps from the ADC?

Apps doesn't get installed, the button "install manually" appears, and when i hit it, my marked shows up and crashes.. :/
[G1 Android Development] mackster248:
everything work fine thus far for me. but only problem is that i get a FC every time i open the official facebook app. anyone else getting this issue?
[G1 Android Development] speedysilwady:
Force Closes!

Handcent SMS and Messaging occasionally Force Close w/ option to wait whenever I send or recieve a sms or mms.

this on a fresh install, formatted SD card, ext 3 partition, 32 mb swap.

The usb drivers issue is really annoying but ive had that problem before cyans rom....i still cant connect my phone to either my pc with win xp or laptop with windows 7 after installing the android sdk and usb drivers, with usb debugging on =/
[G1 Android Development] mackster248:
I'm using handcent as well and hasn't FC'd on me thus far. Had the ROM since it was released. Only diff is that i have 120 swap with ext 4 because i came from a Hero rom... so im not sure if that even correlates. although the facebook app does FC on me everytime i open it up.... maybe it's the theme im using?
[G1 Android Development] G_won:
*QUESTION*

Sorry if I'm soundin like a n00b but sometimes random ringing brings my phone to a sudden halt... like my phone is set to ring+viabrate but sometimes when a call comes in my G1 will just vibrate & stay stuck vibrating until i reboot it :/

Dunno why this is, seems very random and wonders if it's related to the ROM itself or whatever :(
[G1 Android Development] MikLSP:
Just to report, I've had a few crashes & reboots with things related to screen rotation and changing apps.

For example twice I have been viewing the gallery and tried to share a picture by Gmail and the phone crashed while trying to auto-ratate at the same time.

Secondly if I follow a YouTube link from email or RSS feed in portrait the phone automatically rotates the screen for the YouTube app but will crash unless I keep the phone held in portrait position until it has done so. If I flip the phone while it's rotating the screen it stays black and reboots (but skips the vodafone boot screen)

Cheers,

Mik

I sometimes get camera force close. Anyone else? I was fixing my phone earlier, and the cable isn't connected correctly. But when I reboot it fixes the problem.
[G1 Android Development] elzee:
Absolutely nothing to report, except that this rom works a million miles an hour with 0% faults! Well done Cyanogen!
[G1 Android Development] G_won:
ah thanks, glad i'm not the only one...

...errr then again, why isn't this addressed or at least being commented on that it's being worked on? :(
[G1 Android Development] ragflan:
Wow. 4.2.3.1 was the first CyanogenMod that installed successfully for me. Everything worked from the word go. Camera, Gmail, Calendar syncing, everything. I'm still new to rooting and I always enjoyed the speed CyanogenMod provided but this is the first version that everything worked on.

Great job, Cyanogen. Thanks a lot man. My G1 is a whole lot more usable thanks to you.

Just a quick question to anyone. I have Advanced Task Manager installed but doesn't appear anywhere and Market tells me I have it installed but I cannot open it nor can I uninstall it. Any way I remove it and reinstall?
[G1 Android Development] ragflan:
I am having this problem but with only app so far. Advanced Task Manager. Was wondering is there's any way to rectify this without re-flashing.
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
You might be able to download the apk (from somewhere other than inside the market) and push it to /data/app to see if it works. Or adb install it.

The problem is (as I understand it) that the apk disappears but the entry in assets.db for the market is still there.
[G1 Android Development] wardy277:
I have the same problem as above, anyone else? Is there a simple fix? I have tried rebooting
[G1 Android Development] ragflan:
That makes sense to me. But its a paid app so I don't think the author would post the apk on his site. But anyway, its just a Task manager. I can always use another one. Just that Advanced Task Manager worked best.

But 4.2.3.1 worked beautifully except for that one app and for the fact that after installing 2-3 apps, I have to restart phone or I get the 'Installation Error' problem.
[G1 Android Development] purav:
hi guys,

Ive updated to the 4.3.2.1 version but i have a question.

I have enabled both usb debugging and internet tethering.

I have connect mt g1 to my laptop but how to i now connect to the interent using my phone from my laptop?

Hey I Know Im The Only One But I Started From Scratch By Installing CM 4.1.11.1 And Then Using The Information On This Site http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/10/04/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-4-1-99-on-your-g1-android-phone/

Then After That I Upgraded To CM 4.2.3.1 And Everything Is Going Wonderful

Keep Up The Great Work Cyanogen
[G1 Android Development] Boonyard:
Same here! :D

It really works fantastically well. Cyanogen deserves a knighthood.
[G1 Android Development] steeef:
I don't know if anyone else has tried this but Cyanogen apparently doesn't use any form of swap:

I disabled it via my user.conf and things are running just great. I haven't done a side-by-side comparison, but I don't think I'll go back to using my swap space.
[G1 Android Development] MikLSP:
I don't use any swap or app partition. My 8GB SD is fully FAT32 and I find the phone to be smoother and more stable for longer periods than ANY of the swap sizes I tried.

Dump the partitions, unless you need one for apps, it's all much simpler and works better.
[G1 Android Development] oMszKikiIzWavyo:
Okay Just Came Across One Problem

Camera problems

Ok I completely removed Cyanogenmod and went back to stock Cupcake to verify there wasn't something actually wrong with my phone - it worked fine - the camera did NOT force close. Video worked, camera worked, no problems.

Went through the upgrade process to downgrade back to RC29, root, update recovery, install dev (signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip), then install cm 4.2.3.1. At this point, on my G1 I only have an 8gb FAT32 partition, no swap, no EXT4 partition.

Open camera, boom, FC. No matter what I do, I can't get the camera to work. The error message on the screen is "The application Camera (process.com.android.camera) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"

Logcat shows an open failed with an I/O Error followed by "bad file number". I posted the full section of logcat previously.

This is a completely clean CM install; surely someone else is having camera problems too? Stock Cupcake works fine. If I can't find a solution, then I guess i'm stuck with the stock firmware :( Please someone help!

After flashing this new rom to my g1, my phone is stuck at the g1 logo screen...

Can anyone help? I have access the the recovery menu and the bootloader menu. I switched from xrom to this rom. I entered recovery mode to wipe then install this update but after I rebooted it just got stuck.
[G1 Android Development] vincom2:
You could wait for an update. My market let me install some of the protected apps I lost when I wiped my ext3 when there were updates (before that the buttons for open and uninstall were greyed out).
[G1 Android Development] detox702:
I posted this in another thread, and did a search, but I am coming up empty handed. I am in the process of reading through a 14 page thread, but I'm hoping someone on here can help me a bit quicker.

On the new HTC_IME linked in the first post of this thread, if I add any punctuation, it automatically inserts a space character. However, if this is an ending (?.!) punctuation, it does not capitalize the next word. I either have to add an additional space (which takes up an extra character) or backspace and space again. Is there any way to turn off the *space after punctuation* feature in the new HTC_IME? This would be most great.

Also. I've tried in the phone, changed settings in the Settings>Locale/Text, also in the HTC_IME Settings. Nothing has worked so far.
[G1 Android Development] wergeld:
Did you install the HTC recovery or did you go straight from XROM to 4.2.3.1?

If you did not do the HTC recovery as instructed on the first page...you will have to start over.

Once in a while my phone will crash when I get an incoming call. I have to yank the battery and it's very frustrating. Does anyone else have this problem? How can I fix it?

Yes this issue has been reported and is in the bug tracker. Plus it has been mentioned many times in this thread. No one knows a solution. I had this issue a few weeks ago but I haven't seen it since. This problem is very hard to track down because it is hard to reproduce.

Had no real issues with any other rom updates and I am using the Ravi rooted image.

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
morphius2036 either use a recovery.img designed for dream (hint: amon_ra defaults to sapphire) or use the DRC83_rooted for the 1.6 base image instead of the HTC one. The HTC one won't work on sapphire/magic/mt3g (and/or recovery images made for them) but the DRC83_rooted one works on both.
[G1 Android Development] morphius2036:
Thanks I was just following the directions to the T. Thought that there was an issue when it said this was for a developers phone but I trusted that Cyanogen was using his guide as a general for all. Thanks

Yeah, it happened to me too...left it on my desk and walked to the breakroom. Got back and people told me it had been going ape**** for 10 minutes...just straight vibrate. Had to yank the battery.

Restore to another device

Is it possible to take my newly built cyanogenmod phone and restore a nandroid backup to another phone so I have a clone? The 2 phones are the same.
[G1 Android Development] MrBlueEyez:
Partitioning afterwards....

Ok maybe a really noobish question, but see where it gets..

I have Cyanogen running for a while. Was on the experimental version, and now running the latest 4.2.3.1. I had three partitions, but decided before flashing this one, i would reformat. So now i have the ext and fat32 partitions.

My question is two fold: Is it a good idea to enable swap? (no compcache, just swap, say 128Mb) And if yes, is there a way to reformat the SD card without losing my data? Or do i have to backup the fat partition, delete it and create two? Because i red that the partitions have to be in a specific order (1 swap, 2 ext, 3 fat?)
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
I run swap, and have done so a long time. Cyanogen says CM should work fine without, but...

With tools like Partition Magic or GParted, it's possible to shrink a partition while leaving the data intact, making room for more partitions. Not a 100% fail safe method, but it has never failed me (using GParted)

/Mats
[G1 Android Development] duuster:
Im not too sure about your 1st question regarding enabling swap or not. But as far as reformatting your SD card, you will loose all your data if you format. What you can do, is copy the contents of the FAT32 partition to your computer's hard drive, then reformat the SD card, once youve created the partitions, you can copy back to the new FAT32 partition on the SD card. Im not entirely sure, but I thought I read that the order of partitions should be 1:Fat32, 2:Ext2 or Ext3 or Ext4, 3: Swap. Someone please correct me if im wrong. I hope this helps.
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Thing is, you don't format the SD card, you format partitions on the SD card. And good partitioners can resize and move partitions without destroying what's on them. So if you have a fat32 and a ext3 partition, you can shrink the fat partition, move the ext partition "to the left" to fill the gap, then create a new partition in the space that's left and format it as swap.

Anybody have a problem not getting texts sometimes? I've noticed when I have more apps open its prone to not always getting my texts, after I close a few apps they come thru fine.

Like my phone would play the notification text sound but nothing would come and i have to tell em the resend the last text. The fix i got so far is to just run less background apps
[G1 Android Development] TousPhone:
Hey craperpolt, is this what your looking for?

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Apps2SD_On_CyanogenMod

"If you'd like to upgrade to ext4, an even faster partition (the one Cyanogen himself uses!), continue to step 7.

Note - This is not recommended if you're using less than a Class 4 SD card, as it will just intensify your issues! "

and

"Remember to leave 256-512 MB for your app partition!"
[G1 Android Development] ufvj217:
i was running 4.1.99999999999999 (lol) and i remember when i flashed that i did fix_permissions, i just changed sd cards so i flashed 4.2.3.1, and everythings working fine. do i need to run fix_permissions? what exactly does that do?
[G1 Android Development] SxxxA:
You can't reformat the SD card without loosing the data.

The order is exactly OPPOSITE: FAT->EXT->SWAP

There's a reason why swap is recommended to be the last - has to do with physical allocation of swap space on the disk, and the fact that it is more efficiently accessed by the OS if it is located in the outer regions of the disk.

If you want, you can look up my posts in XDA, look at the link in my sig, and I hope that will answer your question whether swapping is a "good" idea. There's no definitive answer to that, just depends on device usage. Swap IS a good idea - every Linux system uses it. The difference is, swapping on hard disks is one thing, a good thing, but flash memory isn't designed for it - hence it is a bad idea on our SD cards.

Some people posted they get better performance without swap. That solely depends on RAM amount, and their usage habbits. I saw one guy on 32B claim it's better without it. I seriously doubt that..Also, that depends on your definition of "better" :P

I won't go into details, I've written stuff about it already (as did other members), look it up! :)
[G1 Android Development] SxxxA:
That's up to you, mostly. The apps you install will be on the ext, so make sure you give it enough space. I used 512M, both on a 2GB SD card, and now on an 8GB one... You can make it any size, 200, 300, 1GB....
[G1 Android Development] brandon15811:

battery drain due to power cycles?

1st of all, I love the mod. I've been updating for several generations now and love my G1 with cyanogen on it. I'm an airline pilot and power down my portable electronic device several times a day and find the battery to be significantly less charged with each boot? I'll burn through 100 percent of charge in just a few hours of actual use but if I cycle on airplane mode during a flight and off upon landing, the battery lasts much longer. For example, let's say I have 3 flights with an hour on the ground each time and I turn the phone off during flights, I will not make it through the 3rd hour of talk time but if I keep the phone on all day (airplane mode during flight but off on the ground), I'll make it all day?

I was aware of the G1's battery issues and have no problem in general, I'm just wondering if each reboot could cause such a battery drain?

Thanks!
