i too would like to know the answer to this. if i back up + ex2 will that backup my apps as well?
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
ext2/3/4 is where your apps are stored so, yes, it will back up your apps. You should be able to just transfer everything to a new card with no issues but it's no guarantee.

[G1 Android Development] chowchillacharlie:
ahoy chaps.

my phone is running the latest cyanogen with 96mb swap, 512 ex4 and the rest fat32

ive noticed that every so often my process list is massive which causes my phone to slow down. is there any way to limit the amount of process that can be open? i heard of an app that auto kills apps every x amount of minutes, cant find it though :(.

thanks
[G1 Android Development] samsci:
don't use a swap file. :) When you use a swap file, it will load the processes due to the amount that is free. I had the same issue. I took out the swap file and my phone is blazing fast now and I do not have the issue with the huge amount of processess running anymore in the background over and over.
[G1 Android Development] chowchillacharlie:
hhmm.. ill give it a shot. can i just remove the userinit.sh and user.conf from /system/sd, reboot and im back to 0 swap?
[G1 Android Development] samsci:
Not sure about user.conf, but you should be able to remove userinit.sh and it will get rid of your swap. I used the app swapper instead of the config files.
[G1 Android Development] klyon:
I've had it for awhile; last night it happened again. I can see the notification -- handcent -- but the text is nowhere to be found. Last night's occurrence was related to being in a low-to-no-coverage area (the bar in my building). I went outside to check messages and the handcent notification was there, but since I had missed the popup, the message was gone. This is a Bad Thing, and I'd like to know more about it/fix it.
[G1 Android Development] cojonesx:
Looking for confirmation if its everyone or just me before I wipe, I haven't wiped in quite awhile.

In Contacts, Edit sync groups, uncheck Sync all contacts, choose any group to sync. Hit Ok.

I get The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

The groups to sync doesn't change and I get dropped back to Contacts

Same error with and without the updated Contacts.apk
[G1 Android Development] speedracer77:
Thank you psguardian.

This is defangled Base in reference defanged base

I thought there were issues with using the defangled base.
[G1 Android Development] SilentTweak:
I've run into a related issue with the wifi. My wifi no longer sleeps when the phone goes into sleep mode. I have to manually turn it off, otherwise the wifi stays on the entire time and drains the battery and runs the back of the G1 really really hot!
[G1 Android Development] Sporkman:
im sure this has been asked many time and im sorry but can i run this on my sprint hero ?
[G1 Android Development] psguardian:
the easiest way would be to just edit your user.conf so that you don't have to start over later if/when you choose to pick it up again (with diff settings of course)

If it was broken it would be pulled from the wiki. I have re-flashed my phone from the ground up with this file 3x since it was put up there :)

[G1 Android Development] speedracer77:
Awesome. Thanks for the help.

Updated to 4.2.13
[G1 Android Development] njordan:
Does nobody else have this issue that text messages get mixed up with older messages and finally you start reading an SMS and in the middle of the SMS story you have parts from previous SMSes, crazy I know...
[G1 Android Development] sl33p3r85:
hey I also had the same problems receiving sms. I think its a bug in the normal sms-manager. I installed Hendcent Sms and the problems are no more problems.

(sorry my english isn`t the best but i think you know what i meen)
[G1 Android Development] Bloodbeard:
4.2.13 is definitely a huge improvement over 4.2.12, but that's not saying much as .12 was barely usable for me. Still slow as molasses when switching tasks, typing is still really laggy, etc. Also, downloading and installing apps is usually very slow, if it works at all (lots of failures). Just a few releases back, this thing was lightning fast. Maybe I should downgrade?

Anyways, it's usable, though much slower than I'd like. But my biggest gripe is the browser "upgrade". I don't see the option for detecting as a non-mobile browser anymore. Am I just overlooking it? A lot of websites I use have a horrible mobile version, and some are pretty much useless in that mode.
[G1 Android Development] c130pilot:
Again +1 on this. Happening the same for me as you describe where even after rebooting the device it will work for a while then randomly quit.

[G1 Android Development] samsci:
Before you complain about the version, read, read and read more of these posts. IT IS NOT THE ROM..... You need to check your phone. Check how you have installed the ROM(s). Check what is on your phone. This ROM is fast. Very fast. nothing is wrong with it. If you are having issues with it, it is because you did something wrong in the past, plain and simple or you have an app that is causing it. But it is not the ROM.
[G1 Android Development] mattcairns:
to everyone saying the ROM is slow and not syncing, i had the same issues and did a full wipe. now it's faster than ever. i think that even if you do everything right, after multiple upgrades, things just get bogged down. i know it's annoying to have to wipe but it's totally worth it.

hope this helps, as i don't really have much knowledge into how this works, just that it made all the difference in the world for me.
[G1 Android Development] aha27:
+1 had this once yesterday and once today
[G1 Android Development] AustinKnight45:
LOL well thx, guess that's as good as its going to get.

Ya I just started seeing this happen and apparently it's been around since Nov 09, I re flash 4.2.13 and cleaned everything but the EXT. Will see if that fixes it :o
[G1 Android Development] UBserious:
i have loaded most all his roms on mytouch 3g; however i'm getting a lot of force closing on dialer, mms on new version 4.2.13??! maybe i did somefin wrong... i'm sure it's my own usererror. :)
[G1 Android Development] guyute74:
time to wipe

I'm interested in performing a "wipe".

I'm currently running Cyanogenmod 4.2.13 and been upgrading my US t-mobile G1 since early in the 4.1 era. I'd like to wipe to clean out some of the cobwebs.

Am I "Perform an ultimate omega complete wipe" as outlined in a previous post?

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] BoomBoomPOW:
Yeah just follow those steps. Be sure to flash the correct base defanged for your device

FC Error v4.2.13:

I tap & hold a number in the call list and I am getting FC error.

Is it only with me?
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Nope, that's a well known and documented bug.
[G1 Android Development] psguardian:
See post #2 (change-log) there is a Fixed Contacts.apk which you can push to /system/app (pm me if you need help doing this)

What TeeJay point & laugh without turning them in the right direction? Didn't we teach you better when we helped you? ;)

~psguardian
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Haha, sorry! I didn't know what else to tell him...I thought maybe he'd feel better knowing it was well-known and in the process of being fixed. I'll do better next time! :D
[G1 Android Development] psguardian:
hehe if you recognize the issue stated & decide to reply (a little jabbing is ok) just point then toward the fix if there is one known yet, since its a simple .apk push to correct this one, there will be no .1 release (if he is going to do a .1 or .2 fix it happens FAST... he could have replaced the contacts.apk in his .zip & re-signed it & posted it as 4.2.13.1 in like 15min). Everyone here that can flash a ROM can pretty well figure out how to push a .apk file (even if they need a command by command walk through as I did the first time). So we get a 3 part install for this one, meh I can deal :cool:

Hi, I came across a problem that just started happening recently. I am unable to make ANY calls to anyone. Whenever I try to call someone, a force close message about process.acore not responding pops up. However, I am able to receive calls, just not place calls. What can be the problem? :confused::confused:
[G1 Android Development] sug83:
And this is just f-king lazy. Just look few posts earlier.

I know it's hard to use a search engine when U don't know what to look for.

But make some effort and read few posts out of this thread.
[G1 Android Development] philosophics:
I don't know if this is a bug or not but I thought I would take the time to adress it and see if anyone else has this ... well I'm not going to say problem cause it isn't but, anyway...

When I unplug my device from the charger, the LED will stay on until I push the home or menu button. Is this a bug that can be solved with the next update or do i/we just deal with it cause its not even really that big of a deal?

The only problem I see with it is maybe me or someone would be in a hurry when taking off charger and forget that the LED stays on and it would possibly drain the battery a little quicker. But then again, it is just an LED...

Just thought I would bring it to your attention in case you didn't already know...
[G1 Android Development] philosophics:
I'm pretty sure he is talking about an entirely different problem with contacts.apk.

The known issue is long press causes a force close.

His problem is not being able to make any calls at all without force closing.

So why do you feel the need to flame the guy?
[G1 Android Development] sug83:
Sorry, my bad.

But call bugs are well known, if not few posts earlier then one page earlier solves the problem. For me it's just lazy, i don't push him to read all 1700pages.
[G1 Android Development] Jaysn:
I'm not sure if this has been brought up or not yet, but I found a neat issue today. I had my G1 connected to my a2dp bluetooth headset and was listening to music. A while later I disconnected the headset, and was going to listen to music on the speaker. After I hit play I got nothing but silence. I rebooted, and music would play as normal. Has anyone else seen this?

I have also noticed the return of music skipping during a2dp playback. I've formatted my sd to see if that was the problem, but it is not. These are both minor issues, overall .13 seems quite stable once the contacts issue is worked out.
[G1 Android Development] Becksman:
Have this issue since several ROM Versions - don't know whether its CM specific...
[G1 Android Development] aidanbree:
Can someone give me some guidance on how to determine the cause of lockups that I occasionally experience on my handset?

The issue causes the homescreen to go black and then redraw very very slowly (30 seconds). When this is done redrawing if I slide up to take a look at all applications, I see these being reorganised as an application discovery process seems to be running.

I am not sure whether I have a bad application installed or something else gone wrong. Is there any debugging that will help me get to the cause?

I am a relative Noob with Android but don't mind getting my hands dirty if it avoids Reinstalling etc.

Cheers

Aidan
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
This is because Launcher has been unloaded (because the app you're using wants more memory) and has to be restarted as you exit this other app. Launcher is responsible for both home screen and app tray. In CM, Launcher can be locked in memory to avoid this - don't remember exactly where you set this, but search - the info is here somewhere.

force close market app

getting fc upon downloading an app or an update...not on downloading, but right after, when i press "install"... what was the fix for that again? i've looked a bit and havent found it yet

i did try clearing cache of market using

#rm /data/data/com.process.vending.apk

but its still happening (omg! what am i gonna do!!)

anyway
[G1 Android Development] djluis48:
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Market -> Unistall Updates....hopefully, that should fix it :)

thanks, did it, we'll see if it works

also getting "Application Home++ (in process mobi.intuitit.android.x.launcher) is not responding." every time i reboot...any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] nasodotcom:
I have a strange problem, searched the whole forum, but no result. I get "android.process.acore has stopped unexp." message when trying do delete a certain call. I just hold my finger or trackball on certain call and it pops up. No matter if the call is with saved contact or random number. I have cyan 4.2.13 with apps2sd ext.4 mod. Please help if you have some info on the problem.

p.s. i haven't linked my facebook contacts.
[G1 Android Development] nasodotcom:
found the contacts.apk, sorry.
[G1 Android Development] thegreatk:
I have a rogers htc magic does it matter which spl you use because no matter which rom i use there seems so be issues that only I have. In hboot:

sapphire unknown 32a eng s-off h

hboot-1.33.2005 (sapp50000)

cpld-12

radio-2.22.19.26i

I know it looks weird to me. UNKNOWN? im hoping my lag issues that im finding in all the roms and the fact that i haven't been able to use not one 32a port from planetmax.co.in/viewforum.php?f=80 EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A 32A

thats why i think i have a spl not for my phone or maybe im just all the way wrong.
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
I'm not sure about the SPL (there's a huge list by Amon_Ra over in the sapphire forum) but the 2.x radio there is for 32B so you should be able to install any 32B rom without a 32A patch.
[G1 Android Development] UBserious:

My Location Weirdness!

Hey guys,

Ok.. here is some weird issue I am running into. When I am on 3G or Wifi, "My Location" is totally off (shows me 150 miles away from my current location). But when I am on 2G, the "My Location" is spot on where I am located.

Is anyone else seeing this? Is there a solution to this?

Bluetooth cant make or receive calls

I see that I am not the only one having issues with bluetooth :( Sadly enough I have been having problems with Bluetooth since I rooted my phone. I am now currently using Mod 4.2.13 and I love it but unfortunately when ever I try to pair my Bluetooth to my G1 it says its paired but, if I make a call I can not hear the other line nor can the other line hear me. It seems to connect fine but unfortunately if I pick up a call it does the same. Not sure what I can do to work on this. It worked fine before I rooted. If anyone can help that would be great.

Thanks

[G1 Android Development] Antilabel:
Music app force closes

I am running cyan 4.2.13 with apps-to-SD and yesterday I had switched my 8GB sd card with a 1GB temporarily in order to fix someones G1. Well after I put my 8GB sd card back in and rebooted I had a ton of force closes from all kinds of apps. I was able stop all the FCs by uninstalling and reinstalling those apps but the only app that I can't do that to is the music app. does anyone have that apk so I can try a reinstall or does anyone have advice on how to fix this?

Thank you!
[G1 Android Development] prettyboy85712:
This is exactly what Nandroid is for.
[G1 Android Development] Antilabel:
what do you mean? is it still fixable through nandroid?
[G1 Android Development] BoomBoomPOW:
It's very fixable, but it's too late now. :p

Edit, I sounded like a douche. Anyways, if you had done a Nand backup in the beginning, before you switch cards, you could have easily reverted back to a working build.
[G1 Android Development] Antilabel:
What? A comment like that doesn't help. How can I fix this if it is fixable? Please help. Thank you!
[G1 Android Development] Bloodbeard:
Same here. I just got into the habit of hitting menu as soon as I unplug the charger. It is kind of annoying, though not a big deal.
[G1 Android Development] BoomBoomPOW:
I could pull the music apk from the CM build, but I'm running late for work.

Ask someone to pull the apk for you, or wait till I get off work, that's in 9 hours. :(
[G1 Android Development] robbie725:
Antilabel... i think that the only thing that you can do now is to wipe everything and reflash the ROM... had you made a backup you could have reverted back to when all worked... best bet is to learn from the experience and just reflash the ROM... we have all been there at one point...

Peace

Robbie
[G1 Android Development] Bloodbeard:
Well, I guess I don't know where to look then. My first thought was an app gone rogue... but constant checking of processes hasn't really shown anything to be the culprit. I mean, occasionally T-Mo hotspot will pop up as a service or running app, but killing that doesn't change performance at all. Other than that and Weather Widget -Donate, there's nothing else running aside from the normal stuff (Dialer, Android System, Sync, etc.)

I did more than a wipe. i reverted my ROM back to the original stock release, then went through the steps for the new CyanogenMod (post-google legal issues), then wiped again. Maybe I messed something up along the way, like using the wrong radio? Pretty sure I just used the links that were in the wiki though. Or maybe the checksum was slightly off and I didn't notice?

Maybe I'll do the whole process over again and hope for the best. It was working great till I went to 4.2... I'll keep ya posted.
[G1 Android Development] j2eubank:
Isn't the music.apk in the .zip so it could just be pulled out of there and pushed? I don't know if that would work by my hunch is yes.
[G1 Android Development] Antilabel:
Once it was pointed out that I could use Nandroid I did revert back to the most recent back up made on 01-13-10 which was 4.2.12.2, but it didn't fix it.
[G1 Android Development] bunu:
I know you are going to slow down on cooking for the g1 since you got a nexus but I think you should include the mytouch 3g fender music.apk or at least leave a link for it and how to install it! that music.apk is awesome but it is not worth buying another phone for it.
[G1 Android Development] rmagruder:
Does anyone have any word from Cyanogen when we'll see a full Eclaire from him for the G1 that has working camera drivers? I see there are several ROMS out there that have working cameras, but I don't trust the performance and stability of anything but a Cyanogen mod. :(
[G1 Android Development] Quez:
I have the same issue, and it was working will for me until 4.2 also. I will admit I dont wipe between updates but I have set up ext3 on a 4GB SD card which seems to be working fine and at this point (on the current version 4.2.13) its deathly slow and I cant even make a phone call without force close (after pushing the new contact.apk). I have typed "fix_permissions" so many times I can do it in the dark without the keyboard lit at this point.

Perhaps the Android Development Community needs to make a list of gotchas to look for instead of claiming that people search thru 1000 page threads for answers. The original Out of the Box G1 software was riddled with bad performance and force-closes which prompted most of us to get onto these forums.

I am very computer-literate, actually an IT Consultant, however I am not a programmer. I think some of you need to put yourself in other's shoes before you type these answers.

Let's help each other out. If there is a link to a site where i can find a definative way to figure out what I may have "done wrong" as you say, i'd be more than welcome to read it and follow the instructions.
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
There's a fix for that but it's at about a 4/5 success rate:

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=953#c1

(For whatever reason, pushing the contacts.apk can result in packages.xml losing the CALL_PRIVILEGED permission for the phone; this HAS been mentioned a few times here but it's not easy to find. )

As for your other suggestion, Quez, we have a 'troubleshooting' page in the wiki (link in my sig). I have purposely left the above fix out of it though because it doesn't always work (if the fix_permissions after doesn't clean up everything it's like having done a wipe; google signin and icons on the homescreen get wiped anyway because they open before you can fix permissions).

I'm guessing you never updated the radio to 2.x after rooting.

http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecode.com/files/ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip

flash it like an update.zip, sit through the reboots, then see if it works better.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Does that mean that an app like SetCPU is not needed? It sounds like the CPU is already set to maximum by CM by default.
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
correct. Some people still use such apps but I've found that the native scaling in CM is perfectly fine.
[G1 Android Development] greensnow:
I'm having a problem with sms and I'm hoping someone can help me out.

A few weeks ago when I was running 4.2.12 I had a problem for like a day or two where I would get an sms and the notification and message scroll would show in the tray, but when i pulled down the tray and opened the message it would be gone. Tried looking in the default messaging app (im using chomp) and it was nowhere to be found.

Now I'm on 4.2.13 and 3 days ago it started slowly happening again, up until it happens about 25% of the time...and thats alot of texts. I tried a full wipe and fresh install, rollback to the last build and back to current and it's still happening...Any ideas anyone?

as far as ive tested this it's only happening on CM...no other builds
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Can you tell me more about that scaling? Does it have maximum and minimum values with adjustments based on need, or is it set to 528 max all the time?

For the record, I'm also having this problem. I'm using Handcent for notifications, but when this problem occurs, the missed message doesn't appear in Handcent or in the built-in messaging app.
[G1 Android Development] Ziltoid:
uggh. I have the same problem but with gtalk.
[G1 Android Development] Janis:
Unzip and push.

(edit: why does everything in these Android threads seem to have a double entendre?)
[G1 Android Development] Janis:
This is on the issue tracker. It appears to be a memory management glitch. Try Autostarts (Market), or having fewer things running another way, and see if that helps.
