[G1 Android Development] cap11:
it is really interesting, how "fragile" rom modding is.

This rom (beneath 1.8 of blue magic) is the only one, where all basic functions, do what they should do - function properly.

Main issues i had with about 30 different variations of roms:

- not receiving sms (!)

- not able to send mms

- not able to receive mms attachments

- not able to save APNs

Maybe it is not the fastest, but it works fast and without problems (so far) and there is no discussion with others, that android phones are crap, because nothing works ;-)

Thank you for your work :-)

Hello everyone. After loads of hard work i managed to make root and install ROM CyanogenMod . wich i find very interesting. But experiencing some issues. Sometimes it'll get me an error message wich after i click on Force Close, it'll reset my phone state, and i need to insert the pin again.

This happens at the start ; when i am adding a hotspot ; when watching some images. Anyone experiencing same issues?

Also MMS isnt working. I cant send MMS to my other contacts and is well configured. Can anyone help ? Thanks!

i've followed this instructions since is a guy from same country as me with same perfect SPL phone:

Translated:

http://translate.google.pt/translat...ss.C3.A1rio_para_fazer_o_processo&sl=pt&tl=en

Is there anything missing?

I used HDboot 2005 version. (btw whats the diferences between theses SPL?)

Thanks!

btw i created a swap size and a ext2 partition size of 512 mb on a SD with 8 GB. I hope i done everything right.

Thank you very much for providing a solution. I will try it when I have some spare time. Thank you again.

Does anyone know how to background an app? Everytime I go to the homescreen it kills Opera, the market or the stock browser. I don't have any task managers installed.
[G1 Android Development] Noojin:
I was wonderinf if anyone knows how to leave gtalk permanently on. I "back" out of the screen but never sign off. I need it on for constant email updates.
[G1 Android Development] Noojin:
Also, I am unable to receive text messages from either stock messaging and handscent. I have to go into the application to see if a text came to me or not. No notifications were given to me via pop up or anything. = (
[G1 Android Development] thefunkygibbon:
to follow up on that. i dont know if anyone else has the same problem but its happened for me in many versions of Cyanogen and from fresh installs too.

When i get a notification of a gtalk message and I pull down the screen to see what it was.. press on the chat and i expect it to open gtalk and that specific chat window. but the first time without fail it force closes the gtalk app. i can pull down the window and click on the chat again and it opens. its a real pain in the ass given that 9 times out of 10 i lose the previous messages (ie the chat window comes up empty)
[G1 Android Development] jgcaap:
Hello PLease if you know anything , can you explain i'm a bit lost? Thank you :)
[G1 Android Development] rgawenda:
I have that issue too (just not as many times as you), but it isn't cyanogenmod specific. After looking it up on google I got to CM issue tracker, where it points to this bug in the upstream android issue tracker, LMGTFY: http://code.google.com/p/android/is...de.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1221

Seems to be fixed in the 2.1 tree, maybe he'll backport that for us.
[G1 Android Development] Anku13:
silly question but did u enable the notification for both message app?
[G1 Android Development] mirovic25:
Default font size

Is there any way to change default font size? I use opera mobile 5 beta and I need larger font. I compare unrooted G1 to my G1 with cyanogenmod and I have smaller font. There used to be an option in Spare Parts, but now I can not find it.
[G1 Android Development] mattv888:
Instead of pressing the back button to get out of an app, press the home button. This should just leave the app you were on running.
[G1 Android Development] heygrl:
Doesn't work, it closes out the app regardless.. thank you though!
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
try using autokiller http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=622666&page=23 and set the #4, #5, and #6 values lower than normal

Is anyone else having weird issues with random data connection drops after flashing 4.2.15.1?

[edit]nm the GMail issue, but I'm still curious about the intermittent signal loss that isn't on 4.2.5, but is on 4.2.15.1.

[edit2]Oh yeah: T-Mobile G1, HardSPL (iirc. Bootloader says HSPL [version numbers]), Cyanogen Recovery, 2.22.19.26I radio.

And another thing: I recall a while back there being a mention in the changelog about the bluetooth ID being changed to 'T-mobile G1' instead of 'ADP1.' I've noticed that no matter what I change the phone's name to in the bluetooth settings it will always show up as 'T-Mobile G1' on the devices that I'm connecting it to. Was there an inadvertent hard-coding of the bluetooth ID? Because I'd really like for it to show up as 'My Phone' instead.
[G1 Android Development] goraps:
I am also having random data loss that comes back when I restart the phone.

I am running: Rogers Dream, RA-dream-v1.6.2R Recovery, SPL 1.33.2005 (DREA21000), 3.22.26.17 Radio, EBI1 kernel, Cyanogen v4.2.15.1

I am obviously a Rogers user who is happy not having my data cut-off so I will live with the ocasional data loss because it is not permanently off.

Sorry if I am a bit noobish but this is my first Android phone and the first time I have flashed to a custom ROM in Android.
[G1 Android Development] goraps:
I am not sure if anyone has experienced this problem but on Rogers I was originally seeing the carrier name twice on the lockscreen and on the status bar. I think I fixed it completely by accident.

A friend told me, on Rogers, that a 3040 series SIM card isn't officially supported for 3G. These older SIMs while working will probably not achieve true 3G speeds and can drain your battery.

I happend to have a couple extra 4000 series SIMs so I called and had one

of my 4000 series SIMs activated for my account and the second Carrier Name disappeared.

If you are having this problem I would check your SIM Card. The numbers on a Rogers SIM should start with somthing like 89302720XXXX. If XXXX is 3040 your card is old, if it is 4000 then it is newer.

Just thought I would share.
[G1 Android Development] Jugstah:
I had the same problem. My 3g didn't work on my old 3000 series sim at all, so used a 4000 series a friend gave me and 3g worked and the double carrier name disappeared as well.
[G1 Android Development] zim2dive:
Does anyone have trouble with voice search?

It usually tells me 'Connection Problem, try again' several times before it will accept any voice input.

I tend to keep the phone on 2G (for battery conservation), but I'm showing a full bars of signal and seems to happen no matter where I am.
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
Maybe it needs 3G throughput?
[G1 Android Development] zim2dive:
maybe.. but after the ~3rd-4th failure, it usually works for me.. so 2G/3G doesn't seem to be a total roadblock.

Lost Custom Recovery

... Im not sure what exactly happened, but while installing this build for the 5th time or so (for various reasons) I decided to use the "Wipe Dalvik-cache" function in RAs custom recovery (recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img) I did this after installing signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip. After i Wiped Dalvik-cache the phone rebooted and the stock recovery was there. I tried using flashrec-20090904.apk to flash back a custom recovery but the button to use the image (recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img) remains disabled. It wasn't because of any typos. I even copied and pasted the filename. I went a step further back to the first time I flashed a cm rom using flashrec-20090815.apk. This time it recognized the images (cm-recovery-1.4.img or recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img) but the disable button now says I need to back up my recovery first before i can flash the new recovery. When I try to back up the recovery it takes about 1 sec before it crashes and says that it cannot create a back up.

Is this because I'm using the signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip Rom?

If it is how can I re-flash a custom recovery image?

Do I need to flash the official TMO USA rom first before I can re-flash the custom recovery image?

If so, how do I go about doing this.

FYI: the phone is working properly. I'd just like to get back CM v4.2.15.1.

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] jimmyhawk:
What I would do is download the amon ra 1.6.2 recovery and flash that from terminal not recovery, once you've done that then flash defanged because the zip your using tends to try to rewrite recovery and radio. In your case it sounds like it did. The defanged zip is the same minus radio and recovery. Once you flash defanged then flash. Cyan 4.2.15.1 then reboot. You should be good to go.
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/RE-recovery-img

Booting into the 'official' ADP1 1.6 image will replace your recovery with the stock one. The ADP1 install only lets you run root things in adb, and doesn't include flash_image (so you can't take jimmyhawk's suggestion). The above page will get you back up and running with a custom recovery without having to flash the rc29 and 're-root' the phone. Flashrec doesn't work on ANY Android 1.6 roms, only unpatched 1.5 or lower.
[G1 Android Development] philosophics:
At least you guys haven't dropped your device causing the sd card to pop out, in turn enabling a flood of FC's and you just happen to have over 75 apps that you either have to uninstall then reinstall, or starting from scratch which is where I find myself leaning towards.

Kinda wonderin what's gonna fix itself by going about it that way...
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
i would just start over from scratch...just to do a nice clean installation, i know its alot of work, but think of the fun you'll have!

(and the phone will probably work better)

i had to do it a few weeks ago, and i'm glad i did
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
:) Been there, done that. My G1 started acting up to the point where I found starting over from reformat SD->wipe->defanged->CM was the easy way out.

Before I reformated, I backed up all installed APKs to my computer with ADB, and reinstalled them after the process.

All in all, it was a process of less than an hour.

Best 2hr dream moddin experience ever...

But the thing I'm stumped with right now is SPL

I don't know what SPL the dreaimg.nbh gives me cause I never cared. I do now cause before tonight, I had the dangerSPL..., hykuros?

With the way my device is running now, I don't know if I want to mess with the SPL.

Opinions???

question

i have a question for people who have speed up their latest cyanogen rom. what are you doing to speed this up guys? cause after leaving any app to the home screen i get about 5-10 seconds before i can see my apps, thanx for all the advice, will read threw this tomorrow

[G1 Android Development] jo mateix:
I think you -like me- have the stock "perfect" SPL, but don't worry, RA-dream-v1.6.2 has full ADB acces in recovery mode.
[G1 Android Development] thugamistic:
Yay!

I kinda figured as much... just needed the confirmation... thanks a lot... i'll give this a shot when I get home.
[G1 Android Development] philosophics:
Well I know this has been asked many many times before, but what are the differences?

I know the stock SPL has space for OTA's and the DangerSPL uses that OTA space and diverts it to be available to ROM. But that in turn, cuts cache space... I think.

So is the a performance/speed/stability difference? Is there a difference in any way?

Which one would serve me best? I know I'm an ass but I want opinions before I go and possibly make my device slow again...

Stuck at G1 screen after Theme install

Okay, so I installed a theme on my US G1. I flashed it again with another theme didn't like it so I flashed it to the one I had installed before. Now my phone is stuck at the T-Mobile G1 screen and won't go any further. I can boot into recovery and fastboot mode, I have wiped every option that I have in the recovery menu and it still will not boot. I need this phone for work tomorrow and it is 1AM. I need help. I have the most current SPL, the phone has been rooted since I first bought it. I have CM 4.2.15.1 with the RA-dream-v1.3.2 recovery image.

Hi Setnev,

I normally do a clean install of DRC83_base_defanged and latest CyanogenMod on top. Also I normaly wipe the ext, but then I am changing from different roms

cheers

mm
[G1 Android Development] Setnev:
Thanks, I just wiped all five areas on the recovery mode and installed an entirely different ROM. I went with the full Eclair ROM. Cyanogen hasn't really come out with any new updates, not to mention this most recent onee kept crashing when i would long press a contact on the dialer app, and if i was in any app other than gmail and i got a google talk message, i would pull the notification bar down and click on the message and Google talk would force close. I would have to pull the NB down twice to read the message. I will come back when there are new updates, maybe whenever he decides to port over the full Eclair to the G1.

Thanx to whoever posted the reply to me wanting to speed this up some. I went to Spare Parts enabled compcache and also put the Home app in memory to stay in memory and it has worked great ever since. Everyone that is experiencing some slowness out there should make sure to do this.
[G1 Android Development] carlsbad0331:
Man I am having some strange issues... I received my replacement G1 from T-Mo and since it was obviously a factory refurbished phone I checked it out before rooting and modding.

Everything worked fine, speaker check, mic check, camera check, internet check, call check...

All good, so I root and and do everything the get up to speed 4.2.15.1.

Add my 7 email accounts, still all good...

Everything works fine and I go to take a couple pics and WTF??? The image on the LCD looks like something from a FLIR or thermal imaging camera. Anywhere that even the slightest amount of light is visible is bright white, and then it has am aura effect of red and pink around it.

Ive checked all the software settings and do not see anything that would allow me to change a brightness setting for the camera.

I can post a picture of what it looks like if needed...

I call T-Mobile and the first thing they want me to do is a factory reset. Of course they do not know the phone is rooted. But they claim this is a software issue and that the OTA update may have been corrupt??? WTH???

Any suggestions?

does this mean were gonna see an update soon!??!?!
[G1 Android Development] sligsacc:
I dunnoo..

I can see, just in the case of Cyanogenmod, how this whole Android fragmentation issue can really get sticky. He's developing custom ROMs for Droid/N1 and G1/MT3G. All with different hardware and driver issues, processors, RAM, Android versions, etc... what a pain in the ass!!

Or is it not that bad as it sounds?
[G1 Android Development] djdarkknight96:
Cyanogen is a beast at all this, but on the N1 and Droid he has a ton of helpers making mods that he adds in his rom so he can focus on the G1/MT3G..also some else ports his N1 Rom to the Droid, so he can handle it!!! follow him on twitter and you will see how he handles the stress....BEER! I must have bought him a keg by now lol! :p
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:

Here is a Little Problem I had.

After I updated to CM 4.2.15.1 from CM 4.2.15 I had a little problem with all my apps I have installed. They would all force closes when trying to start the app. I fix it by doing the following. I deleted all my Dalvik-Cache (cache\dalvik-cache). After deleting all my cache I reinstall all my apps. I then rebooted into recovery mode and ran fix_permissions. Rebooted, ran all my apps, Flawless Victory.

Was it Wrong to fix it like that? Or is there a better way to fix a problem like that?
[G1 Android Development] neok44:
hope someone can help me here. Mytouch3g 32b i was on openeclair 1.3 and then wipped and flashed cyanogen, now the phone won't get past the splash screen. Not sure what to do here since i've never had this issue before.

Any help would be awesome as i'm suppose to have this working for my dad ASAP lol

*EDIT* i have full access in recovery and a card reader for the SD, it just won't get past the green spash screen.

Did you flash the defanged base before flashing CM? That's known to be a commonly overlooked step when flashing to CM from another ROM.

[G1 Android Development] problem1:
people stil use cyanogen???? didnt kno that
[G1 Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Why is that so surprising, problem1? Personally, I've got the latest releases running on my ADP and my Nexus One. On the ADP I've installed OE, King's AOSP and a few others and CM 4.2.15.1 is by far the most reliable. Is there some ROM you recommend people using CM switch to?
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
SuperD.

I love Cyanogen and all his developments. But I like the fact that BenB takes what Steve K makes and uses the best parts.

Not on the bleeding edge... but always fast and reliable.
[G1 Android Development] zim2dive:
Your sig says you are still using CM? (in which case why would you recommend something you aren't using?) :D

Guess folks are bored, so we'll debate ROMs for a while :)
[G1 Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Interesting, cal3thousand. I've never played around with SuperD simply because CM was always a rock-solid ROM and I need my ADP to be completely functional every/any moment of the day. The only alternatives I've tried are those seeking to bring some "crucial" Eclair functionality to this phone: Multiple Account Sync [including Facebook contacts] and Speech-to-Text input. Unfortunately, I have yet to find a ROM that delivers that functionality along with the stability found in CM.

With that said, perhaps I should give Ben's work a try. The feature list doesn't seem to differ much from CM, though -- is there a killer feature I'm missing? Or is simply speed/stability improvements that are the draw?
[G1 Android Development] :
I have to say with this latest update, cyanogen has really stepped up. I was never a follower because of speed. Now i use it religiously.
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
