So you mean there is a radio included in HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip, it will update my radio? Any risk to brick my HTC 32A Magic with flashing that HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip? Can anyone help?
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
The DRC83_rooted_base file is not from HTC, does not include a radio image, and will not brick a 32A magic.

Actually, I recommend it to everyone instead of the HTC one for those reasons and that it won't try to install the HTC default recovery.img.
[G1 Android Development] hikki2000:
Cheers mate! sorry for more questions: do you mean the official HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83 has radio and recovery.img included, but somebody mod it to add root and remove the radio and recovery.img? Thanks again.
[G1 Android Development] tekkitan:
Followed the directions on the front page and all is looking great so far. Nice and fast and STABLE (so far!)

I did have a problem with force closing after the Google setup but I think it is because I have the Advanced Launcher installed and it came up with the select your default home application screen.

gmail sync

I upgraded from .9999 and I'm also getting the gmail sync issues...If i read an email on my mt3g it never marks read on my computer. If I delete the new email it will sync fine...
[G1 Android Development] Noojin:
In addition to slow downloads, I am not sure if it was Handscent or stock messaging but every now and then, my messages are received from the notification bar, but they disappear in both stock msg and handscent.

custom userinit.sh script for 4.2.1 so you can enable compcache; modified by me, original by huanyu. the original script wasn't working for me so I modified it to this.

i'm running BFS + compcache and liking the results, but there are signs that this setup can cause instability. be weary. just posting the script up for anyone who'd like to experiment. don't pester cyanogen with questions about compcache, there are other threads for that. peace and goodluck.

Exclamation Point in a Triangle when booting into recovery

Hi guys... I've got a different error than some of the others I've seen here. When I hold home while booting I don't go to the recovery console. Instead I receive a screen with a G1 phone under a triangle with an Exclamation Point in it.

I've booted into recovery many times and this problem started right after I flashed to the HTC recovery image posted here.

Any idea what causes this?

Thanks in advance,

Chris
[G1 Android Development] matej777:
got the same problem, i think

I have made partitions in recovery, and in every else rom i have 96 MB swap,

in CM 4.2.1 (default settings) command free gives me swap: total 24484

after enabling swap (mkswap and swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3), command free gives me swap total 118156

So default CM is using some kind of swap file? And where is it located?
[G1 Android Development] jump_912:
wanna confirm with whoever using 4.2.1. In comparison with 4.1.9999, is it faster or slower than using BFS? if not overall, how about return-to-home time? it should be faster since now cyan locked the home app from being released but I want to hear it from you guys first hand. Please shed some light.

Thanks :)

What is the improvement from 4.1.11.1 to 4.2.1?

Apart from google apps issues what is the improvement from 4.1.11.1 to 4.2.1?

4.1.11.1 works perfectly for me, even receiving files with BT, only a small bug the ringtones sometimes reset to default one.

Is there any significant/breaking through improvement? Why is everybody flashing the new ROM?

I did read the change log but did not find anything fascinating.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Hey Thanks for the great info. I went to the marketplace and did a search for swapper and it came up with 2 both were free. I went with the first one that had the title swapper for rooted phones. Anyways works awesome.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
This build is not using BFS its back to CFS. The speed is way faster. It is a lot smoother. I dont know about all the problems people are saying, mine has been working great. I dont really use BT besides for a headset every once and a while so I havent tested that. Also this version is legal and legit.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
3 post replies in a row must be a record. anyways I am noticed a huge improvement coming back to CFS. BFS was fast to start out but always slowed down and it had issues. My G1 is running a lot faster. I just tested it I was in the marketplace and I hit the home key and not even a sec later I was at the home screen. hope this helps.
[G1 Android Development] marc_hav:
Could you try your BT headset ? Doesn't work for me, I have a Jabra BT350, paired and connected, but the sound isn't redirected to the headset, still keeps coming from the phone...
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
I just tested it, It worked perfectly fine for me. I actually just to be sure tried it on 2 headsets. the first one was my Motorola HT820 and I was able to make and receive calls and listen to music. then I used my PS3 headset and I was able to receive calls perfectly fine. I heard everything the person on the other phone said and they heard me.
[G1 Android Development] wg1:
I have the same problem too, from .9999 to 4.2.1

and

Sometimes when call incoming the ringing would delay 5 - 6 seconds

Ok finely got everything to flash proper at least i thought ... Had 4.1.99 up and running then went to reboot 2 more times like cry said and now it wont get past the g1 screen but i am able to use red green menu to get back in recovery mode tried to flash agin same result is it possible the update got corupted some how???????/

AFTER A Couple Shutdowns, Reboots And One Fix_Permission AND NOT ONE WIPE!, The Transition From 4.1.11.1 To 4.1.99 Is Working Absolutely Beautifully. (PS, I Haven't Wiped Since 4.04) Def Going To Nandroid Now.

Just Waiting On A Decent Theme.

Anyone else using Google Voice?

My Google Voice is failing repeatedly after this update.

Also, I think I know what the fix is to this, but TMo MyAccount app only allows account acces and no "Phone Info". Is it the phone model similar to a previous update?
[G1 Android Development] perevers:
What about us with a HTC Magic 32A? i know we have to flash a 32A kernel after the ROM, and that kernel are most likely not not finished yet. But are the steps the same as 32B except we just flash the kernel after the ROM like we always have done?

And what install instructions should we use? Them for the G1 or MyTouch3G?

Hope its understandable what i mean :)

[G1 Android Development] velotown:
quick question: is ext4 supported?
[G1 Android Development] himom:
Reverting back to 4.11.1 as this is turning out to be far too slow. Once I install any app it seems to go to a crawl. Not sure if it has anything to do with it being a myTouch 3G.
[G1 Android Development] bouyark:
Enough already

I agree.

There is a serious disconnect between people SEARCHING and READING prior to posting. It is also not necessary to post each and every step of your installation process.

I fully understand Cyanogen’s frustration with useless postings.

In addition to the Mods removing repetitive and already answered posts, I think we should ignore these posts as well. To the guilty, I saw enough already.
[G1 Android Development] andrews240:
Yes. I can confirm that 4.1.99 works with EXT4.
[G1 Android Development] JoelOFH:
I have the MT3G and v4.1.99 is working beautifully.

Have you wiped?

Have you installed TasKiller?
[G1 Android Development] velotown:
Kk thanks i was curious about that because its basically completly new.

Searcher trough the thread and didn't found anything :S
[G1 Android Development] SiXiam:
I read the entire thread and followed directions exactly without any problems.

Thank you very much Cyanogen!

Also, I'm amazed how many people said they didn't wipe, when they were specifically told to. :(
[G1 Android Development] gohaneri:
It's faster ext4 than ext3 with this rom ?
[G1 Android Development] Minker17:
I didn't since I read reports of people not having any issues with it and since I had a nandroid I figured I'd give it a try.

No issues here.
[G1 Android Development] cigar3tte:
Another vote for the hard-to-bring-down notification bar. I tested my brother's stock G1 and it's not a Donut issue, but a ROM issue.

Also, my ringtones have switched back to default on two occasions so far, not sure if it's an incompatibility with Profiles or not.
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
good job cyan.
[G1 Android Development] te_quiero_forever_girl:
Great to hear you are back !
[G1 Android Development] andrewiz2kewl:
i'm confused

wait so does this mean you dont need root anymore? or do you still require root on your device?
[G1 Android Development] nyijedi:
I've also noticed the hard-to-bring-down notifcation bar. It's not a big deal, but it is there. I've been using the rom extensively since cyan put it up, and so far the only issues I've noticed are this one and the well-known bluetooth issue (which is hopefully fixed soon, since many people, including myself, regularly use BT). Otherwise, this rom has been running amazingly fast and has been incredibly stable. No offense to any of the other roms out there, but why someone who's going to replace the stock rom would use anything other than a CM rom is beyond me. I sent some beer money after the C&D fiasco to hopefully lift cyan's spirits - it looks like I'll have to send some more already.
[G1 Android Development] kyleds:
love it

wow... I downloaded this with cmupdater today and dang... this is way faster than the last updates. screens close and open faster. are some of the images different? like the pull tab? they look... cleaner?? idk. but it's great. thanks for the hard work Cyanogen!!! :D
[G1 Android Development] kathompson2nd:
I've searched the thread and read all 3 pages for each issue but nothing seems to work.

I still have the issue regarding the notification bar not pulling down at random times. There is nothing that triggers it. Sometimes I'll just take my phone out of sleep mode and it won't work, I'll wait 30 minutes and it'll work again. Other times I'm impatient and just restart my phone. In conjunction with this my screen will timeout within 10 seconds when everything is set for minimum of one minute. I could be using the touch screen and/or the trackball and it will timeout. Any suggestions? (wipe/flash has already been done and cleared the dalvik cache)
[G1 Android Development] Halloway:
Upgrade/downgrade

Apologies if this is answered elsewhere but 300+ pages of posts is too much to browse.

I updated to 4.1.99 a few weeks ago, using the special update procedure required for the update from 4.0.4. 4.1.99 didn't work for me so I downgraded back to 4.0.4. Question is, if I now want to update to 4.2.1 can I just do it as a normal update or do I have to do the special procedure required to update from 4.0.4 again?

TIA,

H.
[G1 Android Development] tulamidan:
AFAIK the same procedure, but there is an allinone ROM available in a different thread.

Does anyone successfully run Copilot on 4.2.1? I've just flased and tried Clear dalvik and fix_permission (no wipe though) and get the error that the Copilot code can't be executed.
[G1 Android Development] angelghost:
i know ,the rom is no problem,I met the above question just because i installed "task manager".
[G1 Android Development] buzzdroidx:
Thats a really good question.That rom was the stablest rom to date for me. I have seen issue after issue here with this one although i have had few myself. It does have some weird hesitations here and there at times but generally seems fast. I thought cc on bfs in the 4.1.11.1 rom was the best performing and stablest over all with very little fixes required. and oddly it was the one that got shut down. 4.1.999 ran well for me very nicely as well with the cc and backing swap setup. 421 is way bugged out imo. So far reading so many posts of issues just casts doubt even though its running ok (not stellar) for me. I think I'm going to have to go back to an earlier rom
[G1 Android Development] gtrplr71:
agreed I feel if you start fresh you should not have any of these problems. these problems somtimes happen when you go up without a wipe.
[G1 Android Development] Deadbolt:
I finally got this rom to work and when I did, it worked flawless for the first few hours and then later I get a "damaged sd card" notification. Awesome. I tried to repair ext filesystems and it gave me "Error checking filesystems! Run e2fsck manually from console". Out of all of the build from Cyan this has definitely given me the most trouble.
[G1 Android Development] jorobochi:
CoPilot

Hi, i have the same problem with CoPilot and 4.2.1 , trying to copy native libs again, but still crashing. I thing the problem is with some libs in kernel.
[G1 Android Development] SilentTweak:
Originally I too had issues like this. The cause of the problem was one of my apps. Namely Google Pinyin app. I had to uninstall and reinstall the app for everything to work properly again. Issues it caused were, Camera/Camcorder app wouldn't open. Notification bar was sluggish. Android Market Apps wouldn't download. What I'm getting at is, some apps that were previously installed might need to be reinstalled or removed completely. Might be working properly with Donut yet.
[G1 Android Development] mattg:
CoPilot running fine on my Magic with 4.2.1. Installed 4.2.1 after a wipe and with no ext partition. Did a fresh install of all apps.

Had been running enomthers TheOfficial rom but this does seem a bit quicker and is really stable. No FCs, reboots or anything. Locking home screen in memory seems to work well even with no Cc or swap. Only issue I've found is pictures not showing up in some apps (e.g. setting wallpaper).
[G1 Android Development] jorobochi:
RE:CoPilot

Hi,

i have ext2 partition on my sdcard, no i did't new install CoPilot.

I will try to uninstall and delete it and install new and fresh.

I am still on CM 4.0.4 while i have same problems with another apps too. But 4.2.1 is very quick and if i get this problem workin i will change to it.

regards
[G1 Android Development] dead2hill:
Must follow instructions on first page, need to have (not need but suggested) a new recovery such as CM 1.4, then flash dream.devphone.userdebug.ota.14721 first, then flash 4.2.1, then run fix permissions. Note- make sure your sd is partitioned correctly, and other neccesary details explained on first post and many other thread and post here on xda.

Google Partner Setup Force Close

I'm getting a Google Partner Setup force close on startup after flashing from 4.0.2 to 4.2.1 with wipe of Dalvik cache and fix_permissions. All apps work and I don't seem to have any syncing issues. Should this be a concern? Have seen others with this issue, but most were also having issue with Google apps not working.
[G1 Android Development] ribooo:
Thx for the new version, seems really to be very fast! But I have a problem with the overclock widget…which shows my CPU 95% of the time @ 528 mhz! Also after killing all tasks….

I just came back from a 2 hours meeting, and my battery level decreased by +- 10%

With 4.1.999(9) I hadn’t this problem.

Anyone else with the same problem here?

I justed restored my 4.1.9999 installation, and directly my CPU sets the clock to the minimum level.

PS: sorry for my bad english

Thx, ribo
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
Partner setup also force closes for me after entering the gmail password. The rom works fine other than gmail sync issues.

Are you also using advanced launcher?

As well as taking a long time to receive mails marking them read on the phone does nothing.
[G1 Android Development] zyont:
I am not using the advanced launcher. Gmail sync seems to mostly work alright, but sometimes not. I've also attempted to do the Setup Wizard using Any Cut and it will not let me complete the setup. I'm assuming a wipe is in order, but I really don't seem to have any issues.
[G1 Android Development] jiffyj:
I've done a wipe, fresh install, & creating new ext partition, none of which have helped my Gmail sync issues. Not sure why it's happening for some, and not others. I love how fast this rom is, but the gmail issue is driving me insane.
[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
Simple reconfig (slightly off topic, sorry)

After reading reports of many people reporting that running Linux swap was helping 4.2.1 I enabled it on mine (only had a 24MB swap partition) using the user configurable userinit.sh and user.conf (search threads for it) and liked it so much I decided to bite the bullet and wipe my 8 MB Class 6 SD and repartition it to a 64 MB swap size.

Searched all threads for simplest solution using ADB and found this one using sdparted script! Easy stuff, great tutorial.:D

Backed up my sd card using the instructions in the post, partitioned card with Fat32, 500MB ext4 and 64 MB swap (even left a little room if I decide to grow the swap size again) using the script and it was easy! Less than 10 minutes of effort had card reconfigured, phone rebooted and then restored my sd backup I had made when I began!

Seriously, if you are thinking of wiping your sd card and reformatting, this is the way to go. I would recommend this even if you don't want to resize your partitions but just think a fresh format to ext4 might help (and it very well may!) get rid of some of the glitches people are seeing.

If you need help doing this, feel free to PM me and I will help you out!:)
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
Yeah I've done a bit more troubleshooting and can see the poster above is incorrect, partner setup problems are not related to advancedlauncher.

MY gmail problems still continue, sometimes mail comes through within 3-4 minutes (less than the 10-30 seconds in previous versions) other times it will take several hours, marking emails as read on the phone does not change their status in gmail.

If I try and run partner setup it will run through the first time, begin syncing and then loop back to the enter password screen. Every time I try and enter a password from here will result in a force close, I'm assuming it's connected to the gmail issues but they might be separate.
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
I can confirm I have also tried the above to try and sort gmail, I have also tried redownloading the ROM itself and checking the md5 before flashing in case something in my download got corrupt.
[G1 Android Development] dcorrea:
Thanks for posting this. I used your files and now my phone flies! I have a 32mb linux swap, and I was thinking about increasing that to 96mb but I dont think I will now.

The userinit.sh I was using before made my phone lag to the point of unusability.
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
For those with gmail problems please post information here - http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=646

Let's get some information on this and hopefully get a fix soon it's driving me mad but I don't want to have to downgrade to a slower release

[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
I searched and found that a couple of you got Tethering to work. I can't find a good tether apk that works. I got the one from here and it doesn't work. Just comes up and says "Your phone is in an unknown state, try rebooting"

Also how come the tethering app is not pre installed on the ROM? Just curious.

EDIT: reinstalled a third time and its working now.
[G1 Android Development] swivel:
Also, the flip clock weather widget's clock does not update. I suspect this has everything to do with the new "keep home screen in memory" trick. It breaks the widget. :(

you need to uninstall it, then reinstall the program, and go to MENU > SETUP > MENU and reinstall the binaries.

[G1 Android Development] kevo:
Anyone know if the "Lock home in memory" feature will lock any home replacement app in memory, or just the default home?

And if its only the default home, I'm guessing it will still be locked in memory when using a replacement home?

Its just that I've come across the GDE cube and fancy giving it a go, but I really like the lock in memory feature.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Google Voice works perfectly fine for me. you might want to try to reinstall it. That is always the first app I install after I flash a Rom. been using Gvoice since this Rom came out with no problems.
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
I'm still looking for a definitive answer to that one, I've noticed the AdvancedLauncher standalone reload only once compared to almost every time I used the browser in previous versions so I'm hoping it does.
[G1 Android Development] QMAN101:
Chris, you most likely did not hold down the home key when rebooting and your phone rebooted to a stock HTC rom.

You may have to re-obtain root by downgrading with the dreaimg.nbh fileas the one click method is prevented in the 1.6 rom.
[G1 Android Development] Ochiro:
I know this may sound very n00b to most of ya but last night i was trying to get the 4.2.1 updated onto my dream g1 32b. I followed many guides with no luck. But fortunately I was able to get 4.1.999 flashed and running.

My question is.. how do i upgrade to the 4.2.1v. Like is there a specific procedure? I tried recovery 1.4 sd update file then i tried wipe update - and I just end up stuck on the Rogers Screen
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
If you replace the Launcher.apk with the AdvancedLauncher.apk then it will. I pulled AdvancedLauncher.apk renamed it to Launcher.apk and pushed it to /system/app and it works fine. I'm about 90% sure that mine is storing in the memory because it never reloads but I could be wrong.
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
Yeah I figured that would do the trick I'd give it a go but I like to keep the old launcher just in case I need it and since I had seen literally one launcher reload in 2 days use I assumed the fix was working anyway, unless 4.2.1 is just that good lol.
