Cyanogen on twitter:
>> I realize that CM is probably going to fall out of favor since its harder to install, but that's how it goes I guess
>>its likely to just end up becoming a testbed for bleeding edge stuff, and that's fine with me..

1- don't think that will happen

2- if it does, i blame it on all the impatient that couldn't just breathe 5 secs and do the damn thing right.. how hard is to flash 2 zips in a row, wipe, reboot!!! i'm a noob too but damn, how hard was that..

anyone having market problems? as soon as i click the market it closes
[G1 Android Development] AngryCookieMonster:
Well Said...
[G1 Android Development] R@F@:
dude that posted that stupid statement has some nerve. obviously he isnt doin something right and instead of fixin his issues goes after cyanogen. im prolly the biggest noob in this thread and i still managed to install the latest rom with no issues. its working perfectly fine.
[G1 Android Development] shaithis01:
I've been following this forum since I purchased my G1. My first custom ROM after root was JF1.5.

After that I started using Cyanogen and though I didn't have any in depth knowledge of the process I followed all of the modders directions to the letter and tried almost all of Cyanogen's experimental builds.

I went from cm-4.1.11.1 to 4.1.99 following the directions as laid out exactly as written in the first post of this thread.

No issues.

I then upgraded from 4.1.99 to 4.1.999 with no wipe again per the instructions laid out by Cyanogen's post.

I've not had any issues with it either. All my apps work as they should including Copilot. No FC's no reboots, no slow downs, no hangs. I really have a hard time understanding all the issues posted on the preceding pages with problems related to installation or performance.

The only "trouble" I've expeienced seems to be with some occasional call drops that seem to have appeared at the same time that the radio installed after the second flash/first restart of 4.1.99.

Cyanogen's invested a great deal of his personal time to make this and no one's entitled to any delivery date for the next version within any time frame other than one that the author deems appropriate.

Experimental means just that, use at your own risk. If you're not willing to take the good with the bad move back to a previous stable version (I know i still have several stored on my computer should I experience an issue with an experimental build), move to another ROM or just move on.

Hat's off to you Cyanogen, thanks for the time and effort you put into your projects. There are more here that appreciate all you've done than the detractors that post to the contrary.
[G1 Android Development] followinginsanity:
I'm glad to see that I was able to locate the problem of the slowness in Cyan's latest ROM's. And that I was able to help so many of you on here. I've even seen my tip make it as far as an austrailian board I was surfing the other day lol. This is what open source, and community involvement is all about.
[G1 Android Development] mygti02:
you sir are a tool bag and should be banned from this site and ALL android sites from here on. I hope someday you work on something that you spent so much time and effort on and then have everyone you were showing come down on you like the hand of god and make you feel like the worthless piece of crap that you are :mad: And I mean this in the worst way possible.........with much love. F'in as @$$clown!!!!!

any who back on topic. I reformatted everything on my phone and it seems to be running much better for me.....must have been something on my EXT partition.
[G1 Android Development] kscasper13:
already did that, but thanks, that was the first thing i tried
[G1 Android Development] kscasper13:
i'm reposting this, it didnt get much of a response.

Ok, so i did a fresh install of 4.1.999, freshly formatted Ext3. Installed all 50 something of my apps fresh from the market instead of restoring apk's. everything was fine for about a day, now only PAID apps are showing up in my market?!?! all the apps are installed and working, but no show in Market. what gives?
[G1 Android Development] kscasper13:
sorry, dbl post
[G1 Android Development] smithfb3:
Cm 4.1.999 wow

Ok I need to chime in, I think that issues people are having might need to be addessed by themselves.

I have had nothing but good luck with this ROM. All Force Close(s) I ran into were directly linked to the program that had the FC. This is not a guess this is a fact that I learned from my own research.

I did flash CM 4.1.999 in a round about way. I made a mistake and lost root.

I desided to cut all loses and start everything fresh. So, I cleared everything from the phone, used a reformatted SD card, and started from RC29. I forgot to create the linux-swap partition. I again made the EXT partition 1GB instead of 512mB like I wanted, I seem to do that every time. Some kind of a math issue with me.

Yesterday, I realized I was still using EXT2 and the phone was working fine, but, I desided to go through the steps and go to EXT4 anyway. I've come to believe that linux-swap is a source of some of my problems.

Right now my phone is unbelievable. It has never worked this fast and since most of the programs have been updated I do not have any FC anymore.

Please if you have issues try and work on them yourself. Figure out when the problems occurs, do some leg work, try using search.

Even though I always think each version is perfect, this ROM is still a work in progress we all need to help and contribute to Cyanogen in order to make his ROMs and Programs better. This guy does this in his spare time and really deserves a lot of praise for making, sticking with it, and improving our Phones and for me my life.

Ok off of my soapbox, I'll go back to Lurking.
[G1 Android Development] houseonfire:
I have sort of a problem..

I just installed 4.1.999 and on my mytouch using DRC83 file, and everything seems to work just fine except the market crashes automatically when I open it
[G1 Android Development] skesseks:
Wow.

i just compared my config against my wife STOCK 1.6 g1.

her's is much snappier. hm...

I am going to have to investigate.

step one, turned off backing swap on compcache. compcache is still enabled.
[G1 Android Development] wettems35:
agreed. im a complete noob but i do my research when i have a problem. upgrading to ext 3 from ext 2 worked miracles. i have noooooooo problem so far since my upgrade
[G1 Android Development] crypticc:
Not a rom issue. Wife and i seen this on my 4.1.11.1 within hours of each other. Think maybe google server issue.

Issue closed. No me toos / me neither please.
[G1 Android Development] halski82:
Hi All,

Now let me tell you about my issue which is really odd. Previously I run Cyan 4.0.4 - there is a option for google voice search. It was working perfectly till I flashed Cyan 4.1.999. It seems that when I don't have any contacts in the gmail account voice search is working. But If I only add any contacts to the list it suddenly stop working and I'm getting the "Server Problem" popup. I've tried multiple times and I already know that there is a conflict with the contact list an voice search..I also tried to disable a contacts search in g1 options but with no result...what dou you think about that? Anyone has a similar issue?

Cheers!
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Sorry, but do you care to elaborate?

This had happened to me at least 3 times on 4.1.11.1, and once only on 4.1.999. I usually keep my data connections off, and although I cannot be sure about occurences on the 4.1.11.1 anymore, I am sure I wasn't on GPRS/3G/WiFi when it happened on the latest experimental.

Sure one side of the communication here is Google, but the other side, the ROM, which is supposed to control it, seems to not handle it right...Agreed, in

very rare cases

!

Don't get me wrong, I am not blaming the ROM, otherwise I wouldn't be using it. I also don't see many people reporting it, so I'm not going to open an issue in code.google quite yet, but I could think of reasons why that would happen.

I have no modding skills (yet), only ideas, that's why I had provided a logcat earlier in this thread. Unfortunately, no responses on that one yet :(

If someone can provide any kind of sustainable evidence that Google is to blame, then OK, we can close this issue. Otherwise, I would say (and you would agree) that this is a major functionality problem.. No? :)

Regards,

SD
[G1 Android Development] :
I've heard there are 2 ways to install CyanogenMod on a HTC Magic.

The first way is to install the official HTC ADP 1.6 and after that install the CM 4.1.999 ROM.

The second way is to install Enomther's rooted HTC ADP 1.6 rooted base and then install the CM 4.1.999 ROM.

What is the best way to do it? Are there any big differences between these two?
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Hi all,

I found a new (old) issue, it involves Global search. For me this was present in 4.1.11.1, and now back in 4.1.999.

Reported it in CM issues over at code.google.

In short:

Anyone else seeing this?

EDIT: Got response on the issues page, claiming this is Google app issue. Fix is obvious, just put all the contacts under "My contacts" category. Seems like Cyanogen has nothing to do with this :)
[G1 Android Development] Markazeh:
Hey, for all the Germans here, like myself ^^:

Download the trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin and unzip it in the root of your SD..

Then go to Terminal Emulator and type this:

#su

#mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

#cd /system/usr/keychars

#dd if=/sdcard/trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin of=trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin

That's it, have fun with the German Layout ;)

This is only for Hardware keypad of the G1!

Hey guys, I don't know if the CM 4.1.999 or the EnochX wiped my ringtones but no worries it all runs fine but I have a question...How can I get my original "Mildly Alarming" ringtone back?
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
CM has never included any audio resources. You have to "install" them separately http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/audio-resources.zip - Read the first post of this thread (again).

i messed up

I was trying to upgrade to 4.1 i messed up somewhere and accidently erased over my backup. so now after the android screen is done loading... all i get is a black screen. I went into recovery mode...and tried to go back to 4.0.4 but i get an error message saying. e: can't open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory) did i just fry my sdcard?? Someone help me please. I need my phone back
[G1 Android Development] erickrios:
I had this same issue happen last night installing 4.1.999 on my mom's new G1, I had forgotten about the separate audio resources, I read the entire post and to be fair Cyan does not mention anywhere that his rom does not include the audio files and that they need to be installed separately, he only links to the zip file, any one installing this for the first time would probably miss it.

Thanks for pointing it out though.
[G1 Android Development] ttabbal:
Do you have Cyanogen's recovery installed? If you do, there is an option for "Apply any zip from SD" or something like that. It will show you a list of files you can pick from. If you don't have CM-Recovery, you can probably use fastboot to install it, see the CM-Recovery thread.

If you can't/don't want to do that, put the SD in a computer and copy an update.zip over to it. Then you can use the standard recovery to load the ZIP file again.

Define "backup". You don't think an update.zip file is a backup do you? You should be using Nandroid and/or SwitchROM. Nandroid is built into CM-Recovery and all you need to do it select a menu option. If you did use Nandroid, how did you manage to erase your backup?

In the future, supply more info about what you did and what you have. It's hard to help someone when you don't know what state they are in.
[G1 Android Development] erickrios:
1. Are you certain that the file is called update.zip? try option "install from any zip" on the recovery mode.

2. Do you have an SD card reader and adapter? can you access the SD card via the computer? if you don't then try this from the recovery: go to console and type this while you have your phone plugged in the computer: echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file

If you are able to mount the SD card then it is good, double check that you have the rom files on the root of the card.
[G1 Android Development] bigl34461:
i have cyanogen's recovery 1.3. i took the sdcard out and i can see the card and all the files with a card reader on my pc. .....ok let me start from the beginning....i was trying to upgrade to cyanogen's rom 4.1. I made a nanodroid backup before i started. during the upgrade, i messed up somewhere because after the phone finished loading it would just go to a black screen. i then i accidently made another nanodroid backup instead of restoring my back up. i got nervous and snatched the battery out before it started...or so i thought. and know i'm just stuck at the black screen after the phone loads. i don't know what to do. i tried installing the 4.04 rom as an update.zip. but i get that error I mentioned in my previous post. What do i do now??
[G1 Android Development] bigl34461:
:-) that worked!! it mounted. so i guess the card is still good. so what the hell do i do now??
[G1 Android Development] crypticc:
Subsequent Nandroid backups just create a new subdirectory. The old one should still be there unless you cooked the card. Just move out the newest one somewhere safe (PC), and restore from latest will use the one you backed up before then.

p.s. Do you mean Cyanogen recovery 1.4?
[G1 Android Development] bigl34461:
i guess i need 4.0.4 zip file. but the link in another thread didn't work. does anyone have that file?
[G1 Android Development] bigl34461:
i still have cyanogen recovery 1.3 i guess that's where i messed up. i will see i can bring up my old back off from the pc. i went into console from the phone and was able to mount the card. So i guess the card is still good? I just want to get back to the 4.0.4 rom and then i'll just leave the phone alone
[G1 Android Development] str4vag:
you could use Amon_Ra's recovery. it has the option on turning on usb mass storage while in recovery so that your pc will see it as a flash drive.

much simpler that way.
[G1 Android Development] bigl34461:
yo

ok...i got it back....thanks for your help guys...I'm going to try 4.1 again but read the intructions more carefully

Question about Bluetooth

Before I get Railed for asking yet another Bluetooth question, I have been searching with no success & this is not a pairing issue...

My Bluetooth has been working fine for the last week or so since I've been on 4.1.999, a day or so ago I can't seem to turn on (enable) Bluetooth. I was using moonspoons Chrome theme and thought maybe that's it so I reflashed 4.1.999 and nothing... still wont turn on. Can't turn on with settings, cant turn on with locale, cant turn on with widget.

My Question is will reflashing the radio fix this (probably yes) and how dangerous is that (I believe I have Hard SPL definitely not Danger SPL).

Better yet is there anything else that can be done to fix it?
[G1 Android Development] crypticc:
yes agreed - but deselecting and reselecting contacts sync normally fixes, which makes it a lower priority imo.

Can't boot into CM-Recovery 1.4 after trying to update to CyanogenMod v4.1.999

Hello all

This is for MyTouch 3G EBI0_32B Phone

I went to update to CyanogenMod v4.1.999 from an already rooted MyTouch 3G TMobile phone with CyanogenMod v4.0.4 , CM-Recovery 1.4 and followed the steps located here

http://db.androidspin.com/android_developer_display.asp?developerid=3

I got to step 7....

7- Apply sdcard:choose zip *PICK dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip* from the list

ALLOW IT TO INSTALL FIRST.....you will see the "unbox" image.........then it will automatically reboot HOLD HOME button while it reboots.

and it seemed to work fine. I ran into my problem on the next step. I saw the "unbox" image and then the phone rebooted. After that, I held down the home button and instead of booting into recovery mode, a image of a triangle with ! showed up. I think I rebooted one too many times. Every time I try to boot into cm-recovery, I get this image. I can currently boot into Android 1.6 (dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip) and the phone seems to work except for WIFI and Bluetooth. I reinstalled flashrec-1.1.2-20090909.apk and it won't flash CM-Recovery-1.4.img (Flash FAILED). I can connect to the phone via ADB SHELL but i can't use the commands i used to such as REBOOT RECOVERY OR REBOOT. I get an error message that says Operation not permitted. I can however boot into the menu via POWER + <- (back key) that shows up white with the options FASTBOOT USB, HBOOT MODE, RESET DEVICE, RESTART TO HBOOT, POWER DOWN. But the commands seem to not be working but i'm not sure what the do anyways. I haven't tried RESET DEVICE.

My current device is at...

Phone Type - EBI0_32B (Also known as Magic 32B)

Model number - Android Dev Phone 1

Firmware version - 1.6

Baseband version - 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I

Kernel version - 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37 android-build@apa26 #19

Build number - dream_devphone-userdebug 1.6 DRC83 14721 test-keys

I went from....

Model Number - T-Mobile myTouch 3G

Firmware Version - 1.5

Baseband Version - 62.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I

Kernel Version - 2.6.29.6-cm4 shade@toxygene)

Mod Version - CyanogenMod-4.0.4

Build Number - COC10

So my problem again is that I can't boot into CM-Recovery 1.4 anymore so i can flash to the new CyanogenMod v4.1.999. I want to start fresh by flashing DREAIMG.nbh but don't know how to get to the flash screen. When i boot with HOME KEY I boot into triangle !. What do i do from there or how can i start fresh with DREAIMG.nbh?

Any help would be much appreciated.
[G1 Android Development] timal:
Wipe reinstall.
[G1 Android Development] timal:
Just don't hold the home key during reboot. It will go back to recovery when finished.
[G1 Android Development] kscasper13:
Ok, so i did a fresh install of 4.1.999, freshly formatted Ext3. Installed all 50 something of my apps fresh from the market instead of restoring apk's. everything was fine for about a day, now only PAID apps are showing up in my market?!?! all the apps are installed from the market and working, but do not show up in My Downloads in the market. what gives?
[G1 Android Development] phantom574:
i have a problem it seems like the new cyanogen roms are much slower than 4.1.11.1 is anybody else having the same problems?
[G1 Android Development] foxtrickle:
I had a similar problem. I ended up just installing the apps from the market. Even then though they did not show in the My Downloads, they were still detected as installed because it asked if I was sure I wanted to update to a "new" version. Weird.
[G1 Android Development] foxtrickle:
Nope. 163 pages of comments and not a single person with slowness issues...

But, who knows, I could be lying. Why not try that little search button at the top?
[G1 Android Development] phantom574:
i did search. Search is my best friend because i hate looking stupid.
[G1 Android Development] foxtrickle:
Or you running EXT2 or 3?
[G1 Android Development] ezzieyguywuf:
Don't even know if this is the right place to post this anymore, as most of this thread seems to be install issues. I've been having some quirky virtual keyboard behaviour and would like to know if it's just be or if its going around. First, if I tap a text box while in portrait mode the rotate my phone to landscape, I lose the keyboard and am forced to tap the text box again. This behaviour is less than optimal as sometimes you think that can grind something out on the squished-up keyboard but then change your mind halfway through.

That's actually it. I am not currently using the HTC_IME becuase i've recently done a wipe and haven't gotten around to re-installing. So anyone else with this same issue?
[G1 Android Development] phantom574:
Ext2 Was told it has faster write speed
[G1 Android Development] foxtrickle:
Clearly you did not search. This has been discussed over a dozen times. Upgrade to EXT3 or 4 and you will see a huge difference.

Edit: Better yet, if you're willing to do the work, wipe your partitions entirely, re-make them and restore. I wouldn't restore Davlik-Cache though, let that rebuild.
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Not with CM 4.1.999. ext3 or ext4 seems to be a must.

[G1 Android Development] Alucardis666:
So any word on when 4.2 will be out?
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Seems to me like you messed up and lost root...

I may be wrong though, cos this conclusion comes from what I've gathered by reading this thread. Get over to cyanogenmod.com, and check out the (BRAND NEW) Wiki. There's a section on what to do when things don't go as planned... Though I really shouldn't be telling this for the SECOND time in a single thread.

If this ^ is the case, then:

You have to go back to rooting, then repeat this procedure. Have you tried fastboot? Are you using an engineering SPL? Check the link in my signature for Amon_RAs post on SPLs. You can flash recovery from fastboot IF you have an engineerings SPL. I'm not familiar with the other rooting methods.. I know that the security hole that allowed one-click routing has been patched up in 1.6, and I think the 3rd method is the gold card. Personally, I prefer to have an ENG SPL, with security off, so I can do "things" from fastboot, in case something goes wrong :)
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Like Cyanogen answers questions like this: "When it's ready." Going by the # of rom related issues, and Cyanogens faiblesse for perfection, I'm sure we'll see more 9s before 4.2

Can't set wifi sleep policy...

It doesn't stay set. It seems to default back to "When screen turns off". I tried both "Never when plugged in" and "Never". I tried hitting menu->save and back. It always gets set back to "When screen turns off". This is on 4.1.999 freshly installed on a wiped G1 using the directions in the first post. I'm coming from 4.1.11.1 where it did work properly. I did set up compcache and backing swap using userinit.sh and have some apps installed, but nothing that seems to work with the wifi settings.
