I like this update better.

v4.2.12.2 is running a lot smoother for me. The browser is kickin ass and now I'm really enjoying Tmobile's 3g that just kicked in my area.

I also ran a script to remove amazon mp3, latinIme, and a couple other apps that I don't use. But for some reason, I did not gain any space, which was strange.

Can someone tell me what is the purpose of amazon mp3? Is it a advertisement deal between someone?

I've tried to find the answer to my question in this thread but i couldn't find the answer, my apologies if this has been asked before;

Why not include the 'patched' version IM application as found here instead of the standard one that gets included in every update? I know the patched app isn't guaranteed to work everywhere but for the people who it does work its just great and for those who it doesn't work nothing changes......

AOSP Eclair Rom

Hey Cyanogen I have a really good question for you. i had flashed your new update 4.2.12. and love it. Last night I came across Jac's AOSP Eclair Rom that you worked with him on and let me say that it is flawless. It's " THE FASTEST AND MOST STABLE" Eclair ROM still in beta on XDA so far. My question to you is " Any chances of you getting in on this eclair action since you obvioously had some input in this new rom?

(old problem)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5187739&postcount=8513

The problem with apps starting up in the background appeared back in 4.2.9, and was supposedly fixed in the next version 10. I had a mild experience with this, but I did notice the improvement in the last two versions, 11 and 12. I notice that sometimes K9 mail wants to start, and the MP3 store (but only on boot). Once I'm booted, nothing new starts unless I start it. (Using the swap space the way it is described in the link)

Crash, unable to boot to any CM version / stuck at TMO logo

I've been discussing this with some guys on the IRC channel but it's hard for me to spend enough time in the room to actually finish troubleshooting so I need to switch to forum. Here goes.

TMO G1. Rooted. Been running CM for many months. I was running some early 4.2.x versions and decided to do an update a few weeks ago. It failed, and I get stuck at the TMO logo. I tried downgrading--failed with same symptom. Checked my MD5s, my radio, all good. Re-applied dream-signed-ota and latest CM (tried 9, 10, 11, 12). Same symptom. Wiped everything, repartitioned sdcard. Applied defanged, then CM (multiple versions). Same thing.

Here is my logcat: http://halr9000.pastebin.com/f38758ddd. It looks very bad, but I have no clue how to resolve.

I _am_ able to do a nand restore to a 4.1.99 ROM, so at least I'm not down hard, but I am currently stuck at this old version where bluetooth isn't working right so I'm not really happy.

I would appreciate any help that you guys can provide!

Work Email

In your newest version, is it possible to remove the Work Email. I cant see an Mail.apk in the system/app folder, but i somehow got the Work Email in my menu.

Is it me that are doing something wrong?

the work email app was moved from that directory, you can now uninstall it like a typical (non system) app

Did you flash the DRC83 defanged base & then flash cyan on top of it? cyan doesn't include the google apps which is why you need to flash them BOTH.

MyTouch 3g vs terminal

So, you guys keep suggesting i push a recovery via terminal or fastboot. I can't do either of those b/c terminal commands don't work on the MT3g (no physical keyboard) and my computer (neither Vista nor 7) recognize the phone as an adb device.

Is there another way?
[G1 Android Development] jenol:
yes pushing via terminal does in fact work on the mt3g what are you trying to push?
[G1 Android Development] samsci:
Also, depending on the apps you don't want started, there is an app on the Market called Autostarts. Very nice. Lets you disable specifics apps on startup, including amazon mps, ect... and enable them on the fly as needed. Has a whole lot of functionality. I use it and works great.

So, until this is possibly fixed, this could be an alternative.
[G1 Android Development] wroigo:
Has anyone experienced random text messages being sent after you reboot the phone. I don't know if it's the rom or maybe the messaging app "sms popup". The problem seems intermittent not everyone replies to a resent text, which makes it hard to troubleshoot.
[G1 Android Development] samsci:
I would check two things. Get something like taskkiller and see if there is anything running in the background that is eating up memory. Also, check your cache and see how much cache is available.

I had similar problems. After dealing with those two issues, the performance problems went away. I am on a MT3G as well. The ROM itself runs great - V4.2.12.2.

Hi again, I had many problems with my battery life (6 hours of battery life), following some advices, I have made a battery recalibration explained in the cyanogen wiki:

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

With the calibration, the battery life is improved very much, about 36 hours with a regular use, some calls, sms, internet, gps, etc, yeaaah thats perfect for me. After the calibration, when the battery is off, and the mobile shuts off, I can make a new charge, with the mobile off, and again, the battery is working perfect.

Buuuuuuuuuuut, If I charge the battery, with the mobile switched on, I have the next issues:

* The mobile takes a lot of hour for a full charge, about 6 hours.

* The mobile is very hot during the charge process.

* And again, the battery life is too poor. About 6 hours, even if I dont use it.

some ideas :(
[G1 Android Development] psguardian:
Mostly this is due to soo many apps running at once that the system will kill 'idle' apps to make room in RAM for 'active' apps. getting a task manager & killing off the junk you don't want running, or getting autostart (or is it autostarts) which will stop processes from auto loading at boot is another solution

~psguardian

EDIT:

There are reports that the autostart(s) program is not working, or not working well for people, lets all wait for those who are working on the real cause over on the issue tracker so that Cyan can include the fix in a future release...
[G1 Android Development] lookout4theyeti:
I had this issue on the sensehero 1.4 rom, and I didn't have sms popup installed.
[G1 Android Development] psguardian:
If your phone is low on RAM, or just has a lot of app icons to load, there will be a bit of delay when skimming the app drawer. A task killer to nuke the unwanted background stuff or autostart (or is it autostarts) to deny unwanted processes at boot will help with the low RAM side of the equation.

[G1 Android Development] JoelOFH:
Enter the terminal. Hold the "Menu" key to get keyboard. Enjoy.
[G1 Android Development] samsci:
There is one called autostart that I believe is free. You just have to code in what you want to disable, enable. So you need to know command structure. Autostarts you have to pay for. But I don't mind putting out .99 cents for an app or more. Some of these folks put in alot of work to create apps to provide us.... such as Cyanogen who deserve our appreciation and our support for what they do. :)

radio quality

I've performed the update without any problems and it works beautifully. Thanks cyno!

However, since I flashed the new radio my reception got worse. I get reception only in parts of the building I work. What I noticed that since the new radio I don't get reception in places I used to. Data seems to drop first. Sometimes it wold show me signed into gtalk won't update emails. Does anybody else have similar problems. Is there another radio out there to update? I was using a radio which I updated when I switched to Haykuro's early HTC mods for G1.

Were you using the trackball to select the options or shortcuts? My trackball is messed up and it's really sensitive so when I tried to select with the trackball, it'd do like 2 3 clicks in a roll. that'd cancel update or wipe request. Did I make any sense?

Try nixing the swap partition. I had a linux swap and it slowed things down on this cyanogen build.

Change to EXT4 on your app2sd partition.

Nandroid backup, do a wipe and reload the whole set (Dev-donut then 4.1.999) and then see what happens.

Try it, it might be alot faster.
