Yes I have noticed that as well. After going to 4.2.8.1 my audio library was short 400 songs.

I have done a reboot and done fix_permissions. Still no FLAC.

I have gone to console and confirmed that the /system/lib/libFLAC.so file is there.

Anyone have an idea.

Thanks.

Update: I just went back to 4.2.8 and still no FLAC. Recharging and will try 2.4.7.1 later.

Update2: Went to 4.2.7.1 and still no FLAC. At this point I have no Idea what's going on.

not all chips are created equal....

I have noticed a pattern of some people having a 'set of issues' in every release of CM, while some of these issues ARE USER ERROR not all of them can be dismissed this way. Some hardcore modders who are long out of their noobness phase have them too.

Remember this part of the OP ?

This is what I think of when I read the above statement in the OP :

Ever wonder why some electronics are sold as the "GT" or "EXTREME" or "OVERCLOCK(ER/ED)" model when they are physically identical to the "standard" version right next to it on the shelf & sell for a premium? It's because the chips on the equipment got higher scores in the Quality Testing so the manufacturer sells them as such.

The chips that are soldered onto our phones mobo's are subject to the same variation in chip to chip quality, they all "pass" Quality Testing (by a hairs breadth or by a benchmarking mile), the only difference is that you can't buy a MyTouch3G or G1 "OVERCLOCKED EDITION". If you are dead certain that you have correctly started from THE GROUND -> UP on a build that just won't work on your phone but works fine on most everybody else's, then you will just have to accept the fact that all chips are not created PERFECTLY equal, & yours may not have graduated in the top of its production batch!

Downgrade to the last build that was stable for YOUR PHONE & wait for the next one.

Ok everyone. In order to fix the AdFree application do this:

When you get the Java error message hit the BACK button instead of tapping OK to the error message.

When you hit the back button it will return you to the main AdFree screen.

Then tap the '...Update ...' button again. Then it will update the hosts file.

Thanks for the bare bones, easy as hell explanation. Always kind of wondered what CompCache did.
[G1 Android Development] Aaron!:
Before you try a full wipe, I had a similar problem with all my apps force closing and what I did was:

-DO NOT WIPE

-Re-flash the HTC "Recovery" image (from the htc dream website)

-Flash the latest Cyanogen Zip

If that doesn't work, sorry.

Everyone having problems with Gmail, the solution is really simple.

Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Gmail - Clear Data

Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Gmail Storage - Clear Data

Menu>Settings>Data Synchronization>Menu>Sync Now

I would suggest you be on Wi-Fi or 3G, cause this could take a while. Once it's done doing it's thing, go into Gmail and you'll find all your email is back. You should also now be able to send and receive emails normally.

If you don't have a Gmail or other Google apps, you fudged something up. Wipe everything, apply the HTC Recovery from the 1st page (DON'T WIPE. This is probably where you fudged things up). Immediately reinstall Cyanogen Mod.

If you are having problems with music playing randomly, this is also easy to fix.

Menu>Settings>Sound & Display> Check your Phone Ringtone and Notification Ringtone

Do the same for all other programs that have a notification. The list is SUPER EXHAUSTIVE and long.

Gmail

GTalk

Calendar

SMS PopUp

Messages

Missed Call

Handcent

Google Voice

EMail

Work Email

IM

Locale

WiFi Tether For Root Users

I can go on forever, but it's usually easiest to just check your notification bar when music comes on randomly and see what triggered it. If you have Michael Jackson's Thriller coming on at full volume at the same time you got a calendar reminder, check your calendar settings. Anything that does a notification could be the culprit. Instead of freaking out at the embarrassment that Michael Jackson is your guilty pleasure, check your notification bar and fix the settings.

In my case, it was the Missed Call app that was causing problems. Your mileage may vary. Some restrictions may apply.

[G1 Android Development] pr3cision:
Help please

ok. so i was having some problems. so i did a wipe and installed CM 4.2.8.1.. everything was fine but since yesterday, everytime i try to access the market it says "cannot connect to server, try again or return to previous page" ive tried on wifi and 3g and same situation.. i have tried fix_permissions and nothing.. im running 4.2.8.1 with ext3, swap and its on my t-mobile G1... any suggestions? im really trying to avoid having to do another wipe and having to reinstall all my applications..

OK I FIXED IT, HERE IS WAT I DID FOR LATER REFERANCE, IF PEOPLE HAVE SAME PROBLEM.

it had to something with the cache, i had moved my cache to SD, but for some reason the directory was deleted. so i moved all cache back to INT MEM and deleted the cache folder in SD and i moved everything back to SD, so cache files were created, THEN, i moved them back to INT MEM.. and worked perfectly... for information... market was workin while cache on SD but not INT MEM..really don't understand the root of the problem but i fixed it...

Adfree java issue fix

I dont know if it was awnswered properly yet, but for those who get the JAVA error when trying to apply Adfree,

the fix is

open the app

when you get the java error hit the back button,

uncheck then check the "Check server for updates daily." option (if its not checked then just check it, it should do the same.)

Then click download and install hosts... reboot after.

This simply states that it will not install after downloading, this is tied with the same as them not downloading or delaying. I had the exact same issue he is stating as well as three of my friends with two G1's and another MT3G. So I know that logging into Google Talk fixed the problem for 4 people here as well as many more.
[G1 Android Development] MetalMessiah78:
Make sure you do these 3.

Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Gmail - Clear Data

Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Gmail Storage - Clear Data

Menu>Settings>Data Synchronization>Menu>Sync Now

Cyanogen's rom doesn't include the Gmail app, so it wasn't a change he made to the app itself.
[G1 Android Development] Carloswithac:
I've tried that, too. I may just reflash everything including the HTC recovery image.
[G1 Android Development] MetalMessiah78:
Before you do, open up Gmail on your computer and make sure you have imap enabled in settings. The Gmail app for Android uses imap. If it's not enabled, that might be your problem.
[G1 Android Development] jedinger:
That...is untrue. I have gmail IMAP disabled online, but my phone receives gmail just fine.
[G1 Android Development] Carloswithac:
It's enabled on there. Thanks. Will reflash everything and update if this solves my issue after work.
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
IMAP in settings is for 3rd party applications. The Gmail application is managed by Google. They use IMAP to push the information but they use a background service that we have no access to. So you don't need IMAP enabled on Gmail.
[G1 Android Development] flarbear:
I had a similar problem to this just recently. Sometimes the downloads would stall, but often they would complete and fail to install. Do you, by any chance, use Compcache, or lock the Home App in memory?

Note that this doesn't quite match the symptoms listed on the Wiki - the download would start as yours do, which means that the login service was working fine.

I think the answer lay in a wiki page that I read when researching compcache which noted that some users experienced trouble with the Market due to a lack of memory (due to either compcache eating 25% for its swap space or due to locking the home app in memory, I don't remember which) which caused the Market to die in the middle or after downloads when it ran out of memory. This wasn't exactly a ForceClose, though I imagine that could happen on some phones, it was more that the Market would just have the operation fail on it and may or may not report the error.

I've started to chill on the concept of both features (compcache and locking the home screen in memory) and so I turned both features off in Spare Parts and my Market started behaving itself 100%.

My eventual conclusion after dealing with this is that compcache is a trade-off whose negatives don't become clear until you've lived with it for a while. It may work great on first blush and on phones with lots of memory, but my G1 needs every last scrap it can use of the 96MB it has free just for the active programs to run right and the fact that 24MB of that goes away for the compcache is a much greater problem than the amount of background processes that it can keep alive using that cache. Avoiding having to restart the non-active apps is no win compared to the ones that are active actually being able to run well because they have the memory they need to get their job done without swapping. Perhaps the G1's (and US myTouches) are just the wrong devices for that feature. Read more on the Cyanogen Wiki Compcache page

I also came to the conclusion that, while locking the home app in memory gives that instantaneous response when going back to the home screen which is exhilarating, it comes at the expense of every other larger app running well. I've turned it off and maybe I occasionally get missing icons when I return to the home screen, but they reappear in a few seconds and now all of my other apps are running much smoother (some always ran smooth under either setting, but they probably didn't use much RAM when active anyway).

So, to make a long story short - try turning off compcache and "lock home app" and see if the Market improves. If so, then reconsider turning those features back on and do some specific useability testing with Market if you decide to do it. I hope that helps someone, if not you... ;-)

[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
I've posted about this before. The last time I had the incoming-call crash issue was 4.2.6. Then, I wiped the phone, reformatted the SD, and upgraded ext3 to ext4. I went from an unusable phone, to zero crashes since the wipe/reformat/ext3 to ext4 combo.

Also, I could duplicate the issue pretty easily by initiating a Google Voice call from my PC so that it rang my phone. About two in three instances, my phone would lock up. Since the procedure above, not a single lock up. This could be a coincidence, but it's been over two weeks.

Cytown is pushing some Phone apks through the tracker (647). If I had the problem, I would try, but I am glad I'm not experiencing the issue any longer.

While I am posting, I have zero problems with the ROM (no theme.) Maps, Market, dialer, music player, gmail...All work flawlessly. I don't use compcache or check home apps in memory.

I wiped completely the other day to try the AOSP2.0 ROM and came right back to CM. I don't think I have experienced the black screen yet so maybe the clean install fixed it. The only problem with that is that it sucks having to set everything back up. There has to be another solution that doesn't require starting over. (Don't suggest any basic things like wiping and reinstalling because believe me, I know about all of it)
