[G1 Android Development] digitallysick:
Took a while on the "g1" screen on this one, so I suggest waiting a while before thinking its borked
[G1 Android Development] lukekirstein:
Did you clear the G1 screen though? And full boot?
[G1 Android Development] digitallysick:
Yes its working fine, it just took longer than expected on the G1 screen
[G1 Android Development] ciwrl:
Possible Bug

I get a android.process.acore error when I do the following:

Dialer -> Call Log -> Long press any contact

Can anyone verify?

4.2.13

Compcache disabled
[G1 Android Development] TU Homer:
Came up nice and steady. Opened with some FC on "Home", but I was trying to push it sooner than ready. Give it time to fully boot, fix_permissions, and enjoy. So far, it's performance is very nice. Much improved MT on browser and gallery. Not sure what MT keyboard is...
[G1 Android Development] halfsight:
I'm scared! Will watch the thread for a lil bit. might try a couple other roms, was gonna wipe anyway cause my bluetooth randomly stopped working like 3 days ago. But will be back to check. :p
[G1 Android Development] sir*mez:
Aarrggg gots me Bacon and now this me pot of rom arrggg.
[G1 Android Development] omgbots:
Yup, same issue
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
Confirmed.
[G1 Android Development] deepside7:
waiting for 4.2.13.1 to fix typos :P
[G1 Android Development] xjjjay:
Me neither... I'm guessing the stock Android Keyboard now supports MT i.e. holding down shift and a letter. No amount of multitouch goodness can make the android keyboard better than the HTC IME though. But then again, the HTC IME throws a wrench into the dream's hardware keyboard too... No good soft keyboard love for G1 owners :[
[G1 Android Development] ac78913:
Same here as well.
[G1 Android Development] red.Wood:
It was very fast booting, and its actually quite fast even without the 10MB hack, I think now that I had to wipe, I'll stick without APPS2SD, it actually messes everything up
[G1 Android Development] timuluspackage:
Roger that.
[G1 Android Development] karthikjr:
4.2.13: The HTC_IME is doing that key logging thing again. Please check logcat.
[G1 Android Development] deepside7:
ditto!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] xjjjay:
choo choo here comes the .1 train!
[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
No wonder I havent had problems!

I have watched all these posts about poor performance for the past few versions and wondered why everyone was complaining!

After reading all this talk of ext2/3 or ext4 I dropped into console just now and ran mount, saw I had been running ext4 all along! Dont remember when I upgraded but must have been right after ext4 came along.

So put me down for another go ext4 if system is slow!
[G1 Android Development] seufert:
theres some switches for tune2fs that let u turn on the ext4 features.
[G1 Android Development] Janis:
4.1.99 right to 4.1.999 OK with me

I flashed without wiping or anything. Just a nandroid backup before I started.

Boot time after 3 boots seems longer on 4.1.999 than 4.1.99, but seems about the same as 4.0.4. Sorry, I didn't clock it, but I'm guessing 20 sec longer.

The backup from Advanced Launcher didn't re-up the widgets, so I had to delete all the "problem loading widget" widgets and put the widgets back. It didn't re-hide the apps I had hidden before I flashed. Rebooted, and some of the widgets didn't re-up again, but just a few. Wondering if it's the advanced launcher, the widgets, or what. Hm. Advanced Launcher loads much slower on 4.1.999 than 4.1.99. Annoyingly slow. Will post there as well.

EDIT: Turning off Swapper swap partition sped up Launcher loading, and Market app, but slowed down the browser. I'll reboot a couple of times and see what happens

I'm having trouble with the gallery app. in both 99 and 999. When I try to select a wallpaper in Locale (working fine), or in the Picture Frame widget I get a blank screen, I have to swipe right-to-left to get the choice to select the untitled but icon-ed gallery or Documents To Go. (How I discovered that is beyone me). I think I had a problem like this on, like, 3.9something, where the gallery didn't always have a caption (or whatever) and it woudn't always pop up as expected. Did something sneak back in?

I'm getting much faster and more accurate GPS positions, even inside, on the 4.1.99+ than I did on 4.0.4.

I'm got a wierd reading on my Wifi speeds with Xtremelabs Speedtest. It's showing 271.3 max DL, but 334.8 as average, and 442.8 as upload max. (The text is offset, so a bunch of it is overlapping.) Market DL seems somewhat more erratic 4.1.999 than 4.1.99, but it could very well be the servers or whatnot.

It doesn't seem to matter if I have Swapper running my 128mb swap partition or not, yet. I do have a few more apps to load.

Text offset on AniTime digital clock same as 4.1.11 when I tested that. No biggie, I just think it's odd.

I'm really bummed about TooDo not being Donut compatible. ToodleDroid will have to do for now, or I'll switch to sycing with RTM, which doesn't have categories/folders to sync with Outlook.

Market comments show for me. There was a setting in one of the old threads about them not showing. It's a setting somewhere. I'm guessing a search for "market comments" in post contents would find it.

AutoLock works fine, as does everything else I'm running so far. Can't find my BT headset at the moment, though.

And the heavy-duty notification and app drawer drag... not a fan. I'm getting smoother scrolling elsewhere, though, so maybe those things are related. Or I'm just off my rocker, again.

I liked the Cupcake little yellow chaser circle. The grey segments look more like WinMo or something. Generic, maybe. Blah. OK, so maybe, just maybe someone who will read this will care what I think on that. Like my stats prof used to say, "It could happen."
[G1 Android Development] dof250:
To get the right readings you should open up the keyboard so that youre phone is in landscape mode. Then the readings should be fine.
[G1 Android Development] bjehsus:
Confirmed, switching to EXT4 fixes lag..

[edit: or not.. :/ certainly made the browser work again, though]
[G1 Android Development] spazoid:
looping

I did everything correctly, but the boot screen is looping...anyone can help??
[G1 Android Development] |Logic|:
thanks man, i appreciate the help :)
[G1 Android Development] nafeasonto:
SOMEONE help me please now my phone is stuck at the G1 screen nothing is working, i can only boot into recovery what the hell happened??

someone please help me...please... i need my phone.
[G1 Android Development] AustinKnight45:
Pm me ill help you drunk an all ...
[G1 Android Development] lazinase:
did you wipe? com'on...
[G1 Android Development] nafeasonto:
I wiped SEVERAL times, i restarted from scratch. I think my file system got corrupt when i converted to EXt3, i don't know how would i fix that. THe repair file system is not working.
[G1 Android Development] hiroots:
question is, did he even install the signed rom first.
[G1 Android Development] AustinKnight45:
Ya he prob didn't
[G1 Android Development] dan-htc-touch:
real question is... if he does not know how to flash back to his backup, why is he installing test roms in the first place?
[G1 Android Development] AustinKnight45:
Yes this is true but we were all noobs at onetime :o Its not even hard to flash really everyone has said how to do it this way and that way.
[G1 Android Development] ihateusernames:
I have been sitting back watching the carnage.:rolleyes:

Finally decided to load up and boy am I glad I did. Been running 4.0.4 and this is such an improvement. No issues yet and phone is running great.

Great job Cyanogen. Can't wait for more.
[G1 Android Development] Draxter:
after pressing backup recovery image in the recovery flasher apk it immediately says backup FAILED.

Im running CM 4.0.4 on a 32B Magic...
[G1 Android Development] fishbed:
Same problem as nafeasonto's. I have followed the steps from SimpleHelp step by step and after rebooting the phone was stuck at the G1 screen. Waited for over an hour and nothing happened. Removed the battery and powered the phone with the Home button pressed. The Android System Recovery loaded and I tried to restore the previously made backup - but it said it can't be done. Wiped and repeated the steps ... same result.

If you have any ideas ... PLEASE help!

Thank you!
[G1 Android Development] DOHCtor:
Just installed this on my MT3G. Very fast and stable!

Thanks Cyan
[G1 Android Development] the.snks:
Just dropping in to say I damn near sold my G1 before trying Cyanogen's ROM. Much respect man, your work is highly appreciated.

I'm off to donate.:D
[G1 Android Development] ciwrl:
I've informed Cyan and Psycho on IRC, so no biggie for now :)

These people are geniuses!

Edit: On the plus side, NCommander has finished his drivers for the camera!!!!! (no camcorder, but its an amazing start, props to him!)
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
The contact long-press issue is probably not .1 worthy.
[G1 Android Development] TU Homer:
Wondering why I would long press on a contact within the call log screen. I press it to bring up all contact data, and that works nicely.
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=1006

There. Sheesh.
[G1 Android Development] ciwrl:
I usually do it to remove unwanted records on my call log, in case my girlfriend gets a hold of my phone, and sees that my ex called....

Also useful for adding new contacts that just called you
[G1 Android Development] TU Homer:
Short press the call from the log. Then hit menu. That's what I do. Maybe that FC is design intent?
[G1 Android Development] Chosen_on184:
you know you could just go to wysie page and get the contact update from there and just reflash it and see if that fixes it ....

i confirm this works .. go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=599194 and download the contact update zip file .. flash it as you would a regular rom and that will fix the contact bug
[G1 Android Development] ciwrl:
Doubtful by design, but its being addressed, and not major, just something i noticed.
[G1 Android Development] Chosen_on184:
oh another question .. whats Bart back up for .. is that for the data for the apks?
[G1 Android Development] xjjjay:
Bart is the same thing as Nandroid+ext backup... Amon_ra just left it in for backwards compatibility.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Here's a fixed Contacts.apk that readds the missing string which causes the long-press crash. Push it to /system/app.

http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/apps/Contacts.apk

I'll get a point release out after some sleep.
[G1 Android Development] akapoor:
Works.

Thankssss
[G1 Android Development] deafptl4ever:
Huh

Are you serious??? I hope not. Is she worth doing that to? Remember, stuff like this tends to bite people back in the butt and she may not be as naive as you think. They never are.

:confused:
[G1 Android Development] ciwrl:
Completely off topic, sorry mods, but...

For the record, I am not cheating on her, just forgoing an argument waiting to happen. She's worth doing that for, however selfish it may seem

/end off topic
[G1 Android Development] BopChie:
just noticed something in the car today.....

tmo-g1

4.2.12

latest radio

dangerSPL

if i try to make a call in lanscape mode my g1 hangs then reboots.. 1st noticed when i ignored a call... then went to check voice mail while phone was in my dash cradle , it just froze then rebooted... later recreated the above when trying to call a contact by tapping the call icon on a contact while in landscape. is this bug reportable, been reported or confirmed??

thanx
[G1 Android Development] ciwrl:
Can you reproduce in 4.2.13? I have no such issue on my spare g1
[G1 Android Development] aryndar:
cyanogen support

Per cyanogen's twitter:

"2.1 should drop any day now, i'm ready for it.. i'll be supporting dream/magic for as long as my friends/wife own one :)"

So, we will get updates

Pray the wife holds on to her G1...

;)
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
by drop does he mean "made available", or actually an OTA from our carriers?
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
Source drop.
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
thats what i thought

thanks man
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
My wife laughs at me when I do a check on CM Updater and find one. I think I may giggle like a school girl... Ah, but it's those small moments of geeky happiness that makes life so much better.

Note: Her laugh is usually followed by, "You're such a geek...um, you're going to update mine (G1), too, right?" How ironic : )
[G1 Android Development] BopChie:
no, just noticed it today.. just saw 13, i'll flash tomorrow probably and try
[G1 Android Development] djmasque:
Apps are opening and running a lot smoother!
[G1 Android Development] djdarkknight96:
Deja Vu...Same here!!!!!! Wife thinks i'm a Nerdroid!!!! But wants to get her phone updated when the .1 comes out I couldn't wait...guess she's right! ;)
[G1 Android Development] bxlegend:
Thank you Cyanogen for making this rom the speediest yet. Best improvement is in the camera and camcorder app. Taking candid photos and videos is much snappier.
[G1 Android Development] shata:
Fyi the dial pad works in calls now for me, and it seems like the phone screen doesnt turn off randomly while using it - incase someone had same issue as me.
[G1 Android Development] SoleOfJohn:
I forgot...

Does updating to the new rom erase my Texts? and if so, is there a way to save a thread?
[G1 Android Development] JoelOFH:
It depends.

To be safe, there are many backup options in the market.

Question about No-Wipe flash

I've been following Cyanogen mod ever since I got my MyTouch3g. I've done no-wipe flashes for every version Cyanogen releases. I've noticed my phone getting slower, I've used the app "Move Cache for Root Users" in every update I flash. I also use taskiller consistently. Is the newer versions of Cyanogen's slower, or is it just my phone? Any tips to improve the speed of my phone?
[G1 Android Development] mt3g:
^^^^ why dont you just try a WIPE flash
[G1 Android Development] shata:
I noticed the IM app when i click on it says not installed... Do i still have to apply the fixed IM update in CM updater?
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
FWIW (and bear with me because I've said it before) I've no-wipe flashed every new CM version since 3.6.4. I haven't had any slowdowns (things have been getting progressively quicker) or major issues. Nothing is perfect and CM is no exception, but even some of the rampant issues just haven't happened for me (gmail works reliably and usually faster than the web client).

Then again I prefer to diagnose and treat problems as they come up, not obliterate all everything.

If wiping every time works for you, great. Have fun. I just don't think it's the panacea everyone makes it out to be.
[G1 Android Development] akafaze:
I want to try tips to speed up Cyanogen mod before I wipe flash, because I don't want to lose data on my phone. Is there a way to wipe flash and keep my data? I've restored nandroid data + ext backup a couple of times from switching to other roms.
[G1 Android Development] danshur:
WOW. This Is good. I had rolled my g1 back to .11 because I was having some performance issues with .12

Now I just flashed over the top without even wiping and no issues, its just as fast and stable. Btw I set linux swap on with 30 swappiness. Thanks cyan. Now I just need to update my signature and make a backup. got to buy u a beer 4 sure
[G1 Android Development] shata:
I think you anwsered your own question in your question lol
[G1 Android Development] Buennie:
II

I mean Cyan builds roms on 1.6 is there any being built on android 2.0? I'm pretty sure I saw someone release a rom for 2.0. Is the AOSP the release of android then or...??

Thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] paperfairy:
the experimental builds are off 2.0, no?
[G1 Android Development] EggL:
Is there still/again this wallpaper-change-app-bug? My Magic reboots every ~2 minutes with every cyanogen version > 4.2.11.1 :(

I use the Wall-Switch app...
[G1 Android Development] xtreme_protector:
I wasn't sure where to post this, so I am doing it here, as I use CM firmwares.

I installed Destinator 9 (navigation application) from market, but it won't work on the latest CMs. The error is an unmet dependency in the JDNI library implementing most of the Destinator application. The problematic imported function is _aeabi_f2uiz, which I understood is part of the libgcc.

Is there any way to fix this ? Could I just get and install a compatible libgcc.so library ?

Any ideas ?

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] EggL:
I'm shure it's the same bug. If I deactivate Wall-Switch all works just fine...
[G1 Android Development] my95z34:
Anybody have issues rolling back to any CM builds after trying the XRom Eclair Beta 3 rom? I can't do any CM's, even old ones. Only builds I can flash to is the Mlign *sp?* Hero roms, and some really old JF roms. When I flash a CM build it flashes succesfully, but when it goes to boot, it just sticks at the first splash screen. Goes no further. I've wiped everything from standard wipe, to Ext, to Dalvic *sp again* and battery, and rotate... IDK what else to do...

Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
After running any other rom you need to re-flash the 1.6 base (e.g. defanged) before flashing CM again.
[G1 Android Development] mrjeffery:
Is it me or is this release quite a bit quicker than the last update?
[G1 Android Development] mrnv45:
def suprised how fasst and smooth its running.. had a google.gapps ussue on start up signing in...but never came back and so far its all gravy!!@
[G1 Android Development] Che123:
The current CM builds do not contain the googleapps, so you need to flash another 1.6 build before flashing a 4.2.x rom
[G1 Android Development] MoxFulder_CH:
I'm doing it right now, XRom Eclair Beta 3 works not bad, but CM roms are much more polished. Have a look at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Upgrading_From_Older_CyanogenMod_or_other_rooted_ROMs
[G1 Android Development] MoxFulder_CH:
What app do you use to backup your settings (APN, WIFI keys, etc) before a wipe ? Sometimes I want to wipe the device but I can't because I don't want to find manually all the wpa2 keys stored in the device.
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
My Tracks still no go

Had high hopes My Tracks would magically start working again with this release, but unfortunately, the situation remains, where My Tracks crashes as soon as I start recording...

/Mats
[G1 Android Development] Nickedynick:
Some guys on Facebook are complaining about force closes when long pressing on contacts in the call log in 4.2.13. Happens for me, can anyone else confirm?
[G1 Android Development] MoxFulder_CH:
XRom Eclair beta 3 => CM XX.13 + google apps, without wipe => home key not working ??:mad:
[G1 Android Development] G1sanju:
Read the change log at first page. Fix has already been posted.
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
no. i've never heard of such a thing in the last 4 hours and 150 posts in this thread.
[G1 Android Development] Che123:
Get this one sometimes too; wipe and reflash...

Take a look at the changelog on page 1. Bug is known and there's a fix...
[G1 Android Development] Nickedynick:
Sorry, my mistake! No need to get arsey :P
[G1 Android Development] EggL:
Read the first Changelog, it's a known bug. Theres a apk avaiable which fixes the issue.
[G1 Android Development] tnleeuw:
Cheers to you.

I've wiped my phone once - exactly once. That was on the day I got it and replaced the included Android 1.0 with JF1.5.

Every upgrade since then, from JF1.5 to JF1.51 to CM3.something to 4.1.something to CM 4.2.something, I haven't wiped once.

The only thing that might make a wipe worth considering is to get rid of old crap; it could give the device a speed-boost according to some reports. But, well, it's too much of a hassle :-)

Cheers,

--Tim :-)
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Well, if you read the change log (2nd post in this thread), it's confirmed by Cyanogen (and a fix posted).

/Mats
[G1 Android Development] gitanojr:
question??

Besides pushing the "contacts.apk" using adb, is there any other way to do this?

I don't have my laptop with me?? :)
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
it's the only amusement some of us get out of this thread.
[G1 Android Development] Booker-T:
Can I just put the fixed apk in the .zip and flash it?

I don't know how to use adb in MAC:(
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Yes, but you have to resign the zip after replacing Contacts.apk.

No sms notification when using browser!

ive searched all through the issue log of cyanogens webpage and have searched through this site as well.

i have not been getting any notifications for sms while browsing or using the IM.

If any1 knows a solution to this it would be greatly appreciated. thank you
[G1 Android Development] zioalex:
Hi PsychoI3oy,

now I'm testing another firmware. However I will try your solution as soos as possibile.

Thanks

ZioAlex
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=717

which I merged into

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=989

there are no definitive fixes but going to the spare parts app and making sure 'lock home in memory' is unchecked and 'compcache' is checked can improve performance of background things. Of course after high-memory use, your launcher will reload.
[G1 Android Development] gitanojr:
browser tic???

Ok this is not a bug, I think...

When I first flash this rom and navigate thru pages on the browser app, was loading the page with enought zoom for me to able to read, after a while the browser shows the page to far, I have to double tap on every page or even if I just "reload" for me to be able to read it...

Have checked settings in browser: "auto-fit pages" its selected, haven't changed anything on the browser settings, so why is this happening, tried "fix_permitions" and "reboot" but nothing...

Can anyone tell me what to do??
[G1 Android Development] wettems35:
ill try this out. btw, what do you mean by my launcher will reload? im a noob at this and would ask what enabling compache does, but ill search around more lol
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
erm, 'auto fit' zooms out the page so it fits within the browser window.
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
When you exit the browser the desktop will be blank for a few seconds while it reloads all the icons/wallpaper/widgets.

compcache uses a little ram as a compressed swap space, it's far easier to set up than swap and won't eat your sdcard over time.
[G1 Android Development] andromagic:
Is there any 32A kernel port up yet?

I don't find it.... :p
[G1 Android Development] gitanojr:
This is what I have tested so far:

"Auto-fit" fits the content (text) of any page; cause when u deselect it u have scroll to the right to be able to see the rest of the text.

Now there's another option on settings call "default zoom" this one seem to be the problem as default its set to "medium" but some how the browser forgets and it doesn't recognize this option anymore, well that's on my case, I did some tests by changing this setting to "close" and "far" but again the browser keeps doing a "far" setting by it self, weird, not a huge problem but annoying, its just me??
[G1 Android Development] Macmee:
I can go from 2.10 to 2.13 right? I should be able to skip 11 and 12 right?
[G1 Android Development] guru_root:
Kernel

Same question

Kernel for 32a ??
[G1 Android Development] :
Yes ......
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
for those of you using this, is it faster than previous version?
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
Bcrook wasn't in #cyanogenmod when he released .13 and I'm not sure where radix(33) is/was. I'd suspect a 32A will be out within the next several hours, though.
[G1 Android Development] :
BB

Auto fit word wraps so that there is no need for left to right scrolling. Not as you described above.
[G1 Android Development] idkidk:
Ok, just update, rom is fast and stable, no FC but.... ssssoooooo slllooooooooow when open contact.......... any ideas?

Tia
