Another great release. Upgrade worked fine.

It's been reported at least 3 times the last few pages, and "solution" posted as well. Search. The solution is not to update to 4,2,8

Fix for Installing / Upgraging Google Maps

For those of you having issues Installing / Upgraing your Google Maps to v3.3.1 from the Android Market, you can follow this quick guide and you'll be running the latest version in no time.

Installing Google Maps 3.3.1 on CyanogenMOD v4.2.8

Hope this helps.

But this problem does need to be fixed.
[G1 Android Development] uknowme...:
if this post was referred to me then... i am already aware of the cease and desist letter and petitions and etc...

i already did all the proper steps necessary for me to allow google applications to work properly.

i flashed htc adp 1.6 and then cyanogen 4.2.8 then rebooted.

am i missing something???

im wiping my sd card just in case and repairing it right now. tried downloading it but just wont let me install it.

EDIT: Thanks SimonNWalker but its still not working. i tried it your way through androidspin.com and tried doing it through the package installer. Did Not Work... :(
[G1 Android Development] nahanee20:
ok i updated to 4.2.8 with the cm updater and now i dont have the animation when i press the menu button, is there a setting somewhere? in spare parts all animation is checked.
[G1 Android Development] Booker-T:

[G1 Android Development] saffad:
I think the animation is removed in the new version, I didn't like the animation that much so its good. But i think the new launcher tray background is not good, the old one was a lot better!
[G1 Android Development] uknowme...:
So apparently this Google Maps 3.3.1 not working on 4.2.8 is a known issue.

can anyone else confirm this?

anyobdy else having this problem?

[G1 Android Development] docsparks:

[G1 Android Development] uknowme...:

maybe a new sd card?

idk i gotta figure this out cuz its driving me mad!

thanks for your help guys
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
Maps 3.3.1 works perfectly on 4.2.8.

So this ROM was released like 12? 13 hours ago? The ROM developer himself posted when it was released. How about scrolling backwards a few pages at least to that point, and then start reading. It will take you about five minutes. You will see that MAPS has been addressed several times, there are several links to MAPS threads, and someone has even posted a fix for anyone having difficulty. So, to answer your question, yes, there probably are a handful of people experiencing this problem, but most have probably read the thread and have resolved their issues by now. You are flashing an experimental ROM with no guarantees. It requires a modicum of due diligence on your part to research your problems, and in return you get a great ROM. But, holy crap, MAPS (and Market, Chinese and Russian characters) has been discussed numerous times in the last five or six pages. Rather than open this thread and just hitting the the Last button and posting, how about hitting Last and then scrolling back a few pages and do a little review.

Anyone else experiencing issues with Wifi on 4.2.8? The device gets assigned an IP address via DHCP, however no packets seem to leave the device...
[G1 Android Development] amigaroxx:
Seriously guys, i don't get it.

Phone is rooted, I flash this rom, installation succeeds but my phone hangs the the T-mobile logo... what to do?!! :confused:
[G1 Android Development] kizer:
Maps, Nav, Market, Phone, SMS everything works on mine.

The only thing I've done other than downloading and upgrading from 4.2.5 to 4.2.8 was running Bart to backup my phone just in case I need to flash back.

My only complaint is the Launcher Drawer looks different, but that's more of an observation. ;)

Thanks for another great Rom.
[G1 Android Development] kizer:
I just realized my above statement wasn't 100% true. I didrun cachemate to clear out all my Cache. I didn't do it purposely because of a new rom. Its a force of habit after using maps and other things. Maybe clearing out all of your cache is the trick. Beats me.

Anyways awesome rom and thanks.
[G1 Android Development] SimonNWalker:
What exactly have you tried?

Did you totally wipe your SD card and re-create your partitions?

Did you do a complete Wipe of your phone?

Did you install the correct BASE image before flashing the CyanogenMOD image?

Wiping your SD and starting fresh normally fixes the problem:

Delete all partitions.

Create Fat32

Create Ext2 (convert to Ext3 if you want, but recommended)

Create Swap

These are all basic steps and there should be no reason why you can't flash this ROM!
[G1 Android Development] chilln73:
Hey folks.

According to the change log, ZipAlign is applied automatically to installed apps and there seem to be changes to dalvik-cache.

(Please correct me if i'm wrong)

Do yourselves a favor to save problems in future:

1. Run a nandroid backup before doing anything else. Also, backup your app, app-private, and dalvik-cache folders.

2. Do a wipe from Recovery 1.4. Also delete your app, app-private, and dalvik-cache folders.

3. Now follow the FULL instructions for applying a Cyan ROM. That is, apply the standard 1.6 donut rom and then the Cyan 4.2.8

4. Reboot and run through the standard setup. Now install ALL you applications again from the market.

That's right. Start ALL the way over. Then you get the benefits of the ZipAlign and the new way dalvik works.

(Please correct me if i'm wrong)

Most people having problems need to remove all applications, the dalvik-cache folder, do a wipe and start all the way over.
[G1 Android Development] fritzZz100:
I've found 2 problems:

1. There is no more Contextual Menu animation in 4.2.8 (when I click "menu" key)

2. Days of week (in Italian language) in alarm's settings are identified by numbers (1,2,3,4..).

Beyond this problema the Rom is very fast.

Great work!
[G1 Android Development] frazelle09:
Have successfully rooted my G1/Dream. Yea! i actually started w/4.2.7.1 even though it was Exp. bec. it ended in odd. The website said it was Stable -- i thought that odd.

Everything worked on it until i got Sipdroid set up again and it wouldn't call out. It starts to call and the immediately ends. So i updated to 4.2.8 and, wow, that was easy. Tried Sipdroid again and get the same problem. Any ideas?

Have a great afternoon! :)
[G1 Android Development] dsky25:
I've been experiencing a lot of crashes every since I upgraded to 4.2.6 and up, but that all seems to be a thing of the past now, everything is running smoothly, and no more fc's!

my only complaint would be that the drawer is kinda ugly, but performance wise, everything is great.
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
Er.... You're wrong.

The first boot re-DexOpts all the apps (system, app, app-private, framework files) every new install. This is part of the reason booting after a flash takes so long. To get the benefits of zipalign (and other dalvik things), you need to install the rom and boot it.

As a precaution, I always clear out dalvik-cache before boot, but that's only on the odd chance that something doesn't get DexOpt'd (?) right. There's no harm in clearing dalvik-cache because it is (should be) regenerated on firstboot.

Clearing all apps and reinstalling them would also do this, but would be a big waste of time.

The last number isn't the important number for 'stable' vs 'experimental'. The major version number is 4, the minor number is 2. The even minor numbers are stable, the odd minor numbers are experimental. 3.6.x was stable, 3.9.x was experimental; 4.0.x was stable, 4.1.x was experimental; 4.2.x is stable; 4.3.x will be ( at some point in the future ) the next experimental.

Hey everyone..quick question..I saw that the BFS boot image for 4.2.8 was available, but I don't know how to apply it..I know for 4.2.7.1 there was a site with instructions..I know I put it on the root of my SD card, but what are the commands to flash the 4.2.8 BFS Boot image?
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
The instructions here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/How_to_install_testing_kernels will work. The warnings still apply.
[G1 Android Development] isikh:
Got it thanks..for everyone else

in terminl app, type... su(press enter) flash_image boot /sdcard/boot-bfs-4.2.8.img(press enter) reboot(press enter)

Also, what warnings..stuff like you can possibly brick yada yada yada?
[G1 Android Development] jbdubbs:
Let me preface this by saying that I LOVE cyanogen roms and xda/g1 wouldn't be the same without him. That being said, the new app tray seems a bit fugly in 4.2.8. Is that the eclair tray?
[G1 Android Development] Booker-T:
Big Issue

4.2.8 cannot send sms which contains Chinese words.

It is normal to type the Chinese words but receiver cannot read the normal Chinese words.
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
You make the font big and red so people will read it, yet you obviously didn't read the past hundred posts.

It's a known issue.

It's being worked on.

Use 4.2.7.1 for now (or upgrade and follow http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=832 and test the framework.jar there to see if it works).
[G1 Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Ya, its from eclair. You can easily theme back to the stock app drawer using MetaMorph
[G1 Android Development] Booker-T:
I have read it but I didn't know there is any fix.

Recently, I revert to 4.2.7.1 but I find all the apps I install corrupted
[G1 Android Development] Melo.One:
It's from Moonsspoon gChrome theme app tray, actually makes the icons a little bit more visible...I can't believe people are complaining about the app tray background...It's actually better than the original, imo

Vibrate not working

[G1 Android Development] frazelle09:
Thanks for replying to my questions about experimetal and stable!

i'm still having problems with Sipdroid. i performed a nanobackup to my SDcard and then moved it to the computer -- it's only 120 Mb! i think i'm going to have to purchase a larger, more modern card bec. i didn't have any luck with the card i have when i tried to partition it. Anon-Ra did a good job, but when i connected it to the computer, my box didn't recognize it any more. Not good. So i reformatted it again. Good to go.

So, any ideas on the Sipdroid issue? Should i report a bug?

i really like the new look and the available backgrounds. Thanks very much for all your hard work. Hopefully when i get a little a head i'll be able to contribute something more substantial than just Thanks.

Have a great afternoon! :)
[G1 Android Development] frazelle09:
i was able to find their Google developers site and it looks like a bug on their part. It looks like it's been fixed already and their is an apk to d/l but --- should i d/l it to root on my SDcard and use AppInstall to install it or just wait till it appears in Market?

Have a great afternoon! :)

I already had this installed but for some reason I accidently hit restore backup and it went back to cyanogen mod 4.0.4. When I tried installing 4.2.8 it gets stuck in the g1 logo screen. Do I have to download any other versions before I install the new 4.2.8.? Sorry guys I'm really confused.
[G1 Android Development] mackster248:
Lol oh man, I can't believe it was something that simple. I was scared that it was my SD card starting to crap out or something. Thanks man :)
[G1 Android Development] mackster248:
You forgot to flash the HTC recovery Image. Download it from Cyan's wiki page. After you have it put flash that first before 4.2.8

And I would suggest a wipe just in case.
[G1 Android Development] camarriott:
No problem dude! My WB does that from time to time on certain roms.
[G1 Android Development] Chosen_on184:
Search the web and find the official upgrade of the map apk .....put it on your sdcard ... uninstall whatever version you have on your phone .. go to recovery wipe davlik cache .reboot install newest version of maps from sdcard .. go to market and check maps it should say installed .. from now on you can upgrade whenever google sends one out....

this is what i did and it works fine for me now ..... like someone said you cant install when you had a hacked version of maps on your phone previously
[G1 Android Development] iwishicouldlive:

You can apply xdan's fix patch which worked well for me. It's at http://www.kugou.me/. Look for the file called fix-12-13.zip. Just flash it in recovery mode and reboot. Reboot will take as long as it did after flashing 4.2.8 but SMS coding issues will be gone after this patch.

Basically, if I'm in the web browser (same for dolphin browser), when I hit Home, the phone blacks out and sits there with just the notification bar showing. If I hit the power button and come back a few minutes later, I get the app tray arrow and my background, but it takes about 30 seconds for my icons and such to appear. Anyone having this issue?

Running 4.2.8 on a MT3G. I wiped and installed twice and I'm noticing an issue:

When receiving a text or email with the phone on vibrate only mode, I'm not getting any vibration with a notification.

Is anyone else seeing this issue? This is only a big deal for me during work hours, other then that and a few known issues, the rom's spot on... I love it.
[G1 Android Development] scrappyabs2:
Random reboot on Co-Pilot

I don't know if this is a CM bug or not. But I experienced a random reboot today after installing 4.2.8 from scratch. I was in the middle of downloading maps for co-pilot. The download is > 1 GB and the reboot occurred half-way through the download. This is not the first time this has happened. I've experienced reboots while downloading copilot maps on earlier versions of CM.

Has this happened to other people too?
[G1 Android Development] xjjjay:
resposting... Somebody has to know the answer!

I'd like to disable prediction and autocorrect when typing on the hardware keyboard ("device keyboard" not "android keyboard"). A thin bar spanning the bottom of the screen shows up with word predictions, and automatically corrects to the closest match when I press space. Happens when composing in gmail, handcent, the market, address input in browser, and probably everywhere else.

I've tried settings/locale & text/device keyboard/auto-replace, checked and unchecked. Doesn't change a thing.
