@teejay3800

2: you can delete the files off your phone after you are done with them.

3:htc ime works

4:beautiful widgets and google maps with navi works.

5:you do not need to install a new spl for cm roms.

edit: psychoI3oy beat me to it and with a more detailed response too. thats what i get for trying to reply on a shoddy edge connection.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Thanks PsychoI3oy and RAQemUP for the responses! I'm really starting to feel comfortable enough with the Wiki procedure to actually do it. :o

Posts like that make me very wary of switching to CM. It seems unwise to go from a stable, fully-functional ROM, to a modded ROM that may have more features/performance, but has glitches and instability. Some users have said these "glitches" are very uncommon, yet I still read about them every day in the short time I've been a XDA member. How likely am I to experience problems like these if I switch to CM?
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
This particular one is a known issue with a known fix. This particular issue is NOT that big of a deal, it's only a FC (Force Close / crash) of the contacts app when you long-press on a number/name in the call log. It's such a minor issue I haven't bothered replacing my contacts.apk, and you might want to hold off on it too until you're more familiar with things.

In the immortal words of someone..... 'stuff' happens.

Task killer?

Is anyone complaining of a laggy slow interface running task killer? i used metamorph and when it rebooted my widgets had to be removed and re-applied again, and i didn't add task killer, now the phone is working perfectly :?
[G1 Android Development] khandu:
Hi Guys .. need some urgent help

Now I have been using all the versions of CyanogenMod easily. But after the last update 4.2.13 phone has become dead slow.. Also the widgets stopped working.. many apps like calendar etc crash.. its dead laggy. Please suggest what to do ? I just want to keep all apps.. So what to do?? reinstall?? go back to previous version?? clear something?? please advice as I am a n00b..

urgent :D
[G1 Android Development] barbasunday:
Excuse me to ask something like this but i quite searched it and i dont know where the problem is... I'm trying to push the Contacts.apk cause I have FC with the gapp. (When i open the Market to download the back up for root).I copied the apk to the sdcard and then from command prompt @ ~\tools i tried adb push /sdcard/Contacts.apk /system app and the return is "cannot stat 'contacts.apk': No such file or directory"...Then i copied the Contacts.apk to the c:\AndroidSDK\tools folder and i tried adb push Contacts.apk /system/app..

And the return is "failed to copy 'Contacts.apk' to '/system/app/Contacts.apk': Read-only filesystem.... Which is the right way to do this???

Thanks in advance
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
derrrrrr...... the Contacts doesn't fix a gapp force close when downloading stuff from market. That's a problem with how BfRU restores data. It creates a file where there should be a directory.

From the computer:

adb shell
rm -r /data/data/com.android.vending/*

Then start market, let it run, close it, and THEN restore with BfRU

As far as the contacts thing goes,

with the Contacts.apk in the tools dir on the computer:

adb remount
adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/Contacts.apk
adb reboot

-=OR=-

with the Contacts.apk on the sdcard, from terminal emulator:

su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cp /sdcard/Contacts.apk /system/app/Contacts.apk
mount -o ro,remount /system
[G1 Android Development] ohgood:
must be doing something wrong...

cause i can't find a thing wrong with this version :)
[G1 Android Development] Newbie16:
Are you using task killer? i had performance issues when i had its widget on the desktop, after it was removed the performance is fine again, maybe you have to remove the whole app, my cpu is clocked at 384.
[G1 Android Development] khandu:
I dont know what that is so i dont think I am using it.. I m just using some games and whatever comes default with the ROM.. its my GF phone actually..
[G1 Android Development] barbasunday:
Thanks a lot.. And any idea about what should i do with the gapps FC? 32A with amon latest recovery. Clean install,first flashed HTC_ADP then the ROM and after that the port..Thats the procedure i followed.
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
I edited in the fix for that right after I posted.
[G1 Android Development] barbasunday:
THEN restore with BfRU? How? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
bah, misread again the second time, heh.

Market should work after the command I gave you, from there you should be able to download BfRU. Make sure you open the browser as well before restoring stuff to it.
[G1 Android Development] khandu:
please help someone.. phone is very unstable at moment..
[G1 Android Development] barbasunday:
LOL. BfRU stands for Back up for root users. Ok i did the shell command,opened the market and tried to download BfRU. Then guess what, gapps FC :( The browser runs smoothly.

Hi Cyanogen

Any possibilities of enabling Bluetooth DUN so I can use phone with my tomtom? I understand PDANet enables DUN, but only for Android 2 phones. Is it a feasible project to get it working on CM rom?

Cheers

Chris
[G1 Android Development] taz2781:
I have a TomTom, and if cyan do this work... man you will be my hero.
[G1 Android Development] HTCMDA:
lol i just wanna know if i'm the only one who thinks that a "stable" ROM, is one that doesn't have bugs or issues.

so what happened between 4.2.12 and 4.2.13 to cause the contacts bug?

is it hard to fix that and re-release the ROM so people will stop posting how they don't understand how to fix the problem
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
there is no rom that has NO bugs or issues, even ota's a lot of times. so, to me this rom is stable, there is nothing that keeps me from using the phone, web, bt, etc... i'm sure that the fix is not hard, but the devs do have their own life and responsibilities, and frankly not interested in making life easier for everyone, on demand, who likes to use their work for FREE!
[G1 Android Development] Infinite76:
what is your problem? what exactly is happening?
[G1 Android Development] deanc:
Back to 4.2.12.2

I have a G1 and have found that the 4.2.13 runs very slow on my phone. A lot of lag and pauses on app launch and switching. Even typing, whether it is the on-screen keyboard or the physical one.

4.2.12.2 on the other hand is lightening fast, and with the 97/107 memory hack it is a brand new phone. I will stay with 4.2.12.2 for now. Has anyone seen a similar issue?
[G1 Android Development] BoomBoomPOW:
Contact force close only happens on contacts in the Call Log tab. Other than that, 4.2.13 is stable and fast. Well, I haven't and avoiding to try out the Dev Tools-Running Process bug. I heard it's a nasty one.
[G1 Android Development] deanc:
I have had the same problem with 4.2.13 on my G1. I don't have task killer installed, but I still have the same issues you describe above.

My solution for now was to roll back to 4.2.12.2, which is one of the fastest, stable cyanogen ROMs I have seen on my G1
[G1 Android Development] brownbomba:
Faster with less

Ok,

I have not read all these posts but I did somethings to make my phone run better using 4.2.13.

First, you want to get appmanager and back up your apps, then I decided to wipe my phone before I flashed this Rom. I am using Amon-Ra recovery. I wiped Data/factory, Dalvik-cache, and SD ext partition.

Second, after doing that I flashed the DRC83_base_defanged_zip and then I flashed 4.2.13 and rebooted.

Third, now if you wanna fix the contact issue with this rom, go to

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=599194. Scroll down untill you see current version. Download the update zip. I downloaded it using the internet on my phone. You may need the app 'astro' in order to download it.

Then put the file on the root of your sdcard. Then go to recovery and flash it just like you flashed CM's Rom and then your contacts should be fixed. If you downloaded the file using your phone, the file is gonna be located in the download section of the sdcard. I use the app 'root explorer' to move the file from the download section to the root of the sdcard.

Forth, I only put back apps that I needed. Instead of five news apps I am only using one. Instead of several file explorer apps, i'm only gonna use two. In other words, evaluate the apps you use. If you donna need them, don't download them again. My phone is running smoother using the steps I just outlined, and with less apps.

I have decided not to personlize my phone so much, so that I won't be so hesitant to wipe. I never liked to wipe because I did not want to re-download everything. But using apps like appmanager, you back up all your apps, except for paid apps, on your sdcard and download then again at your leisure.

For now 4.2.13 is running fast and smooth with less apps and wipe, wipe and wipe.

I hope this helps,

Headset Remote Control RC E100 on CyanogenMod?

Hey Guys!

Does anyone know if the Remote Control Headset RC E100 by HTC works on the Cyanogen builds? Asking, because I read about someone using the HTC Magic (said 32a or something) with this Handsfree... But I also read that it should NOT work with at least the Stock Firmware of the G1.

But since the Magic is supported by Cyanogen and its the same Build as the one for the G1 I hope for a chance that the HTC RC E100 could work on my G1, too? Pleeeeaaaase! xD

I need remote Volume Control and would love to skip and especially go back to a song already played! So this one would be the best option if it works on my G1...

Any one knows??? C ya(nogen)! xD
[G1 Android Development] :
Same here but I found wysies 2.8 (contacts.apk) zip file and it works now. When you install a theme you have to install the contacts apk again, that happened to me. its working so far. don't know much about the Dev tools :-(
[G1 Android Development] lamaravish:
no matter what i do...cyanogen runs xtremely slow on my g1..i was using dwag roms..then decided to update yo cyanogen...first i flash the 1.6 image..then the lastest cyanogen...runnin slow...so then i wipe/clean everything...flash 1.6 image again...then flashed rom 4.1.9999 and then used cm updater to get the latest rom...and still running slow :] anyone wonders why?
[G1 Android Development] cqms13:
try not flashing 4.1.999 but straight to 4.2.13 after base:confused:
[G1 Android Development] smersh:
I would like to confirm, that a clean install fixes all these slowness problems with the 4.2.13.

I really want to know, what exactly is a cause for such a slow operation after several "no wipe" consequent updates. I was thinkg about files getting fragmented on a limited internal flash after number of rewrites, however that should not be an issue with solid state storage.

Anyone has an idea?

Regards!

G1, CN 4.2.13
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I'm interested in this issue too. As someone about to leave the stock ROM for the first time, dealing with a slow/laggy version would be difficult. One of the reasons I like CM was the updater app which makes staying up to date very easy. Is wiping and starting over required every so often?
[G1 Android Development] jbacon617:
Mine has remained quick and speedy, and I haven't ever wiped (except when Cyanogen had to remove Google's apps from his image, that was required -.-). Just need to be careful about which apps you install, and be aware of what resources they consume. Too many have background services that chew up RAM pointlessly and will drag your phone down to a crawl.
[G1 Android Development] lamaravish:
i tried that too......
[G1 Android Development] karthikjr:
Here's a bit of friendly advice from someone who's flashed his phone every week or so with every new bit of cyanogen goodness that's come along: you'll never find all the answers you're looking for, unless you jump in, root your phone, run the mod and live with it day in and out.

There's no easy way to say it: less talk, more modding IS the order of the day :)

try disabling your swap and enabling compcache and lock home in memory

and all variations of this

see if you get any improvement?:confused:

j.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Haha, I hear ya. One more quick question on the Wiki.

I don't mean to doubt you, but the Wiki boldly states if you already have 1.6 to format the card on the phone itself. Which should I do? Or, does it not matter as long as the format is FAT32?

Is there an IRC channel or somewhere I can get live support if I get part way through the Wiki process and get hung up somewhere? Thanks all for your patience...I promise this will be my last question.

EDIT: Will I still be able to use T-Mobile apps like Visual Voicemail and My Account?
[G1 Android Development] khandu:
Please help guys.. suggestion of going down to 4.2.12.2 didn't work.. as soon as phone starts up .. I get The application has stopped and many names come up for force close like andweather, tunewiki, Widgets, CM updater, weatherbug etc..

What to do ??

I have the amon-ra recovery image.. please help..
[G1 Android Development] lamaravish:
Aaahh I never knew anything about swap or compache...I don't even know how to enable or disable them
[G1 Android Development] ciwrl:
Compcache and Lock Home in memory can be toggled in the spare parts app.

Swap is a little more complicated, search xda for userinit.sh

Common solution for mms problems

I had issues with mms. After wipes and reflashings, I found out that the (AUS optus) apn list that came with the rom was not correct. The data apn had not filled in the "apn type" field. This created no problem for data itself, but it blocked the mms operation. In order for the mms to work, the data apn should have "default" as apn type :confused:

As I did a clean wipe and mke2fs, I believe that this error was in the rom, not an old setting of mine that was leftover.

#cyanogenmod on freenode

Yes.
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
what kind of phone? sdcard? etc..
[G1 Android Development] Janis:
1. Google & understand the concept of swapping. It's a pretty old concept.

2. Swapping on Android doesn't have to be complicated. Swapper is available on Market.

3. Search XDA-developers for how to partition your SD card with a swap partition. You don't have to do it, but it turns out to be very handy, and a bit faster than a swap file on the FAT partition that Swapper uses by default.

3. Swapper can be used in conjunction with Compcache with a swappiness of 60 (you'll see what I' mean when you get into it). The only benefit I found to compcache is the storing of webpages, more or less, locally for reloading. It *can* (not will) actually slow your phone down because it has to compress everything before it uses the swap space.

4. Look into using a userinit.sh file to start your swapping up before you can tap anything on your phone (Swapper doesn't start until after pretty much everything else is loaded). The userinit.sh, IMHO, is where the whole swapping thing gets harder to understand. It's not actually the swapping that's hard to figure out, but how this file does it. So if you start with trying to understand this method, you'll get bogged down in too much information all at once.

Personally, I prefer a simple Linux swap partition, even though I've done a good share of the rest. I also like the flexibility of trying different swappiness(es?) on the fly after loading a new ROM, something Swapper offers eaisily, without doing some text-entry-type hacking or pushing a new file after every ROM flash. I might get a few seconds off my boot time with a userinit.sh, but I'd rather have the simplicity of implementation and ease of changing the swappiness.
[G1 Android Development] BoomBoomPOW:
Works great. Deleted previous 4.2.13 Nand backup and replaced it with the fixed contacts version. Thanks, I would've just adb push but used DroidExplorer's Console instead, does the same if you ask me, just have to know the commands. :D

Cyan 4.2.12.2 started crashing on the camera all of the sudden. Thie last time I had to remove the battery and reboot it to get it to respond. Anybody know anything about this?

Also, this was screaming fast when I first installed it but it seems to be getting slower as time goes on. Not sure what that is about. I noticed I have to reboot it once ina while and then it seems fine and the whole thing starts over.

I have that problem when I reflash Cyanogen mod. I would either jump back to an old backup or Omega-wipe the phone as that is the only thing that I can find that will actually get rid of that problem.

ROFLMAO @ omega-wipe

We (the community) really need to help Stericson fix MM, I want to use that app soo badly, just can't justify hosing my market for it... This type of thing is why I make a nandroid RIGHT after I flash defanged -> flash CM 4.2.xx (apply any fixes needed) -> ensure all apps function -> NANDROID+EXT. Then save my nandroid folder to the computer incase my SDcard bites the dust. WAY easier to recover from a bad app or botched hack/improvement attempts.

This might sound like a stupid question but I have to ask...

How many out there would recommend Danger SPL for this. Or more clear, Cyanogen... ROM with added themes and you couldn't do apps2sd.

How many say Hard SPL is ok?

Cause I'm thinking I need to give my ROM some more breathing room. As long as it doesn't hurt anything. I don't see how using dead space would...
[G1 Android Development] Wesie:
No, but the G1 is also warm at the back - I believe, that the CPU is behind ( under the screen, where the Home and other keys and the trackingball are placed)

Ever since I flashed to .13, I lost my CM Updater, is this normal? If not, how do I get it back? Thanks
[G1 Android Development] .A.J.:
I don't know about an app that will show them in the notification bar but you can always hold the home button until the pop up appears. Your recently used apps (up to 6) will be displayed. As far as I know this works in any app as it is part of the Android OS.

would say its deffo not normal:eek:

you can get it again through the market

j.
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Check what's running in your system, as well as the CPU info. Do this through adb shell, not from the terminal (to get accurate CPU info).

To check running processes you can use commands 'top' or 'ps'.

To check the CPU clock do 'cat /proc/cpuinfo'.

If your CPU is at the maximum (520MHz) constantly, then there is definitely a process eating it up. The 'top' command should give you a clue to what it is, since it will display the busiest process at the top of the list.

Hope that helps!

P.S. Check your log, too. There may be something fishy going on, and you may be able to spot it there.

I repartitioned SD, re-flashed HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip, I reflashed cyanogen 4.2.13 after that, but still the same. Gapps force close.

What procedure should I take now? What is with this image:

I used that before to get things 'back to basic' ? Should I use it again?
