I am flashing the ROM now and I also have no boot image up yet.
[G1 Android Development] catracho99:
I did wipe and no boot image! still waiting to boot up. 5min so far
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
It seems like the GPU memory hack is included in this release...

Might want to release a non-hacked boot img also. I seemed to have lots of problems with some of my apps using the memory hack...
[G1 Android Development] Chedderknight:
sounds promising, I'll try this on later tonight, another question, for those using dx top, how well does it function once its locked into memory? I was dxtop but the slowness eventually led me to use the stock home, any improvement in terms of speed and functionality?
[G1 Android Development] tsluder8:
not a huge deal, but the app drawer tab doesn't look very clean on the g1...super fast, love it. thanks.
[G1 Android Development] artkiver:
Also no boot animation, g1, upgraded from 4.1.999999999whatever. ;)
[G1 Android Development] edwinr29:
SEARCH bro!!!

there's a thread for that...

if not just get RA's recovery image, it has an option to mount SD from Recovery
[G1 Android Development] elzee:
/mount sdcard
[G1 Android Development] desertangel:
4.2 loaded!

Wow! Faaasssst! Nice job.

The boot up animation isn't working on my G1, but after the G1 logo disappears, the screen is dark and then presto!

Don't panic, don't pull the battery, give it a couple of minutes and you will be good to go.
[G1 Android Development] Major_Skidmark:
G1 logo, no boot image. Using my swap part working fine.
[G1 Android Development] rayberto:
4.2

No boot logo, no big deal.

Rebooted to see if the boot logo worked the second time. Phone went into a boot then crash then reboot to the G1 logo loop. Removed the battery, ran fix permissions, no love.

Reflashed that seemed to do it.
[G1 Android Development] infernofalcon:
sh: /mount: not found
[G1 Android Development] deekdeek:
same here G1, just flashed from 4.1.99 and looking at a no animation boot screen. good think i check the forums first or else i'd be sh*&^ing my pants.
[G1 Android Development] rschuman90:
type error in spare parts for the home screen memory... u typed "to" twice by mistake lol just letting u know
[G1 Android Development] TheDeadWalk:
Awesomeness!
[G1 Android Development] thuhcooler1:
To mount the sdcard in recovery type the following in adb

echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file

thats the actual way to do it if you dont have an sd card reader
[G1 Android Development] edwinr29:
what rnu trying to do

mount the sdcard on the terminal or in the pc

if u wanna do it on the terminal type

mount /system/sd/

if u wanna c it on the pc

echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
[G1 Android Development] doctorfugazi:
another +1 on the boot screen. everything else is johnny blazin. thanks sir!
[G1 Android Development] deekdeek:
ok its REALLY fast! but my browser is opening and closing. no errors, just closing out. I guess i'll try a wipe?!?
[G1 Android Development] JoelOFH:
I see the boot screen. MT3G, coming from latest experiemental build, with no wipe.

I'm not the biggest fan of the drawer icon. I think it could look a little cleaner. :|
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
So that's what that is, it actually booted me (a quick loop) when entering Speed Forge 3d, and Light Racer 3d wouldn't work... might flash the boot.img from 4.1.9999 if that's what is going on.
[G1 Android Development] infernofalcon:
Sorry dude, I guess I was too caught up in the moment of a new stable release :D
[G1 Android Development] blueheeler:
Just for giggles and trying to help with the boot screen issue, I flashed the m_blend_v.9999c2 theme on top of the 4.2 update just to see if it was compatible. Sure enough, it seems to work.

On top of that, the bootscreen works as well.

Now, whether or not important 4.2 files got replaced with unstable versions, I don't know. I will update when the theme gets updated.

Just thought I might give some clue as to what happened with the boot screen.
[G1 Android Development] fozzy1es:
Spare parts red button don't work for me.
[G1 Android Development] edwinr29:
dont worry, i wasnt trying to be mean, i know there is a thread b/c i had to use it one but i didnt remember, no sweat bro
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
Reboot generally fixes browser crashes.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
4.2.1 is up, fixes the boot animation. The EBI1 support patch is the cause (even if disabled).
[G1 Android Development] nyijedi:
Go into applications and clear all cache/data for the browser.
[G1 Android Development] infernofalcon:
Gah, don't know if this is a nissue or not, but the thread says the recovery image is:

dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip

But the file I have is

signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-img-14721.zip

:confused:
[G1 Android Development] EpedemicOptikz:
so is 4.2.1 issueless?
[G1 Android Development] jeremycool:
by fixed audiopara4.csv that doesnt happen to be the new headset audio boost by chance does it?
[G1 Android Development] JoelOFH:
I just wanted to write one more time, that this ROM is moving at INCREDIBLE speeds. All your ROMs are fast, but this baby is out of the park. KEEP IT UP. :)
[G1 Android Development] blinkerz:
crap, just finished flashing 4.2 suddenly 4.2.1 came out lol. will tell when finished flashing 4.2.1 (btw I'm using G1 and no boot image in 4.2, should be fine in 4.2.1 though)

Edit : flashing from 4.2 to 4.2.1 doesn't take long, maybe because of only 1 very tiny minor change. the rom is stable so far! great job cyanogen!
[G1 Android Development] tyrone2003:
What happened to the PDF viewer?
[G1 Android Development] acidwashg1:
just flashed 4.2, running well so far. have a 64mb linux-swap enabled right now. i like the locking home app in memory, working so far. been browsing over wifi trying to push it out of memory, but so far its holding strong.

I do have an issue where I'll return to the home screen and all my icons disappear. its not the homescreen reloading, I am able to add new shortcuts where my old shortcuts were. a restart always restores the old icons...very strange issue.

edit: lol, dang, 4.2.1 is already out...gonna flash and report back eventually
[G1 Android Development] edwinr29:
ur good to go
[G1 Android Development] gkpk:
Flashed 4.2 without a hitch, great work bro.........as usual.

THANKS
[G1 Android Development] deekdeek:
wiped both caches and rebooted, browser still closing. I haven't wiped yet, do you think that might solve?
[G1 Android Development] Rbrewer:
Does this use the Linux swap by default? if not how do I enable it?
[G1 Android Development] thuhcooler1:
i think ill be too lazy to reflash 2.1 im just onna wait till ted make the new 4.2 theme then just use his boot screen
[G1 Android Development] hotvico:
Do you know how I can upgrade from cm uploader? I have the last beta on
[G1 Android Development] LadFromWales85:
@deekdeek, adb logcat while starting browser, see what libraries are part of the crash.

For me on earlier builds, its libwebcore.so, and pushing an older version fixes the issue for me.

I'm using Anom's AOSP at the moment, am pondering giving Cyan's 4.2 a go as 4.1.11 didn't work for me, but am wondering whether or not Cyan's works with DRC93 also.
[G1 Android Development] lotherius:
Flashing 4.2.1 now :) 4.2 is incredibly fast. Using no compcache, just plain straight Linux Swap at 64mb.
[G1 Android Development] fozzy1es:
Spare parts red button works?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] klabton:
4.2.1

Ok. I have loading screen on my Dream with 4.2.1 :)

Thank You C. :)
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I posted up a BFS boot image if you want it-

http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/boot-bfs-4.2.1.img
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
4.2.1 fixed my boot logo and 3d game issue, you rock.

I do have a question about the BFS boot image, what issues could this cause? I know you pulled it due to issues, but I guess I fell out of the loop as to what those issues were.. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] gtrplr71:
anyone know the difference. wonder if this is what is causing problems Because I have had hell with the 99's (htc system image vs. Htc recovery image?)
[G1 Android Development] deekdeek:
I just noticed that if i tried to open up an email my email app was crashing too. so i have browser+gmail crashing. Wiping now!

i just flashed from 4.1.99 - no wipe.
[G1 Android Development] LadFromWales85:
@deekdeek, adb logcat!

Both your issues are browser related, so run logcat and see what libraries are the cause :)
[G1 Android Development] acidwashg1:
+1

what issues was BFS causing? what issues was compcache causing? 4.2 screams with a linux-swap but I'd like to test it out with BFS+compcache to see what the performance difference is...just hoping for some insider info from cyanogen =)

edit: flashed 4.2.1 - boot screen is back! cyan is the man
[G1 Android Development] simms22:
do you think that it will make a difference ? 4.2.1 is pretty damn fast as it is , so far ! ill try a day with , and a day without to see if there really is a noticeable difference :cool:
[G1 Android Development] edwinr29:
i was having issues with 4.1.99999, that's why i went to arikah's 1.6, but i guess the problems were related to the build being experimental, ill surely give 4.2.1 a shot tonight
[G1 Android Development] gucy:
Ok. I have loading screen on my Dream with 4.2.1

Thank You C.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
BFS exposes some subtle bugs in the hardware drivers, probably timing related. Random reboots, etc. Very difficult to debug. I want to continue working with BFS cause it rocks, but the issues it creates definitely aren't for a stable build.

Compcache and the Android lowmemory killer interact in funny ways. And the only reason I was including it by default was to help the home app stay in memory. And with the tweak i added for 4.2, this is a non issue :)
[G1 Android Development] acidwashg1:
dude, you are the man! I was not expecting a response that quick! thanks for the info, just gonna try to experiment with BFS for now
[G1 Android Development] ripgut:
I keep getting a force close on setup wizard, can't proceed any further, this 4.2.1 is screwed up
[G1 Android Development] blinkerz:
do you mean cm updater? in that case, nope, i tried using it to upgrade to 4.2 from 4.1.9999, but i think the update file in the server hasn't been edited (because the rom just came out a few moments ago)
[G1 Android Development] pdudek:
Little offtopic question what ist bfs and cfs.

And why does bfs rock cyanogen ?
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
Memory hack in this one?

Has it been confirmed that this has the 10 meg kernel memory hack? If it does then can you post a boot.img without it please Cyanogen? Thanks
[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
Compcache fix

If you want to play with the compcache settings in your user.conf, look back a few pages for the "fix" that was posted for 4.1.9999 and "reverse" it!!

In other words, Cyanogen has gone back the the ramzswap.ko on this build. Alternately, you can download the latest user configurable userinit.sh located in this Thread.

I am currently running 64MB compcache only (no backing swap or VM) and will post later how that seems to be working with 4.2.1
[G1 Android Development] Vlad83:
Process schedulers for Linux. Brain Fu*k Scheduler and Completely Fair Scheduler. This is a very lengthy discussion. Google them...
[G1 Android Development] xidominicanoix:
BFS

CFS

too slow ;)
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
thanks Cyanogen, This build is awesome. I had the issue with no boot screen but I just flashed 4.2.1 and it is back. All google apps working perfectly fine. This build is really fast. What mhz did you set it to. I am also using a 64MB linux-swap which also could be the cause of my speed. I wonder if I go up to a 96MB one if it would even be faster. thanks for the great work.
[G1 Android Development] shaithis01:
4.2.1 fine on first boot. Restart gives:

G1 screen>Cyanogenmod splash>Black screen

Anyone else having similar issues?

Started w/ wipe, HTC image then 4.2.1 per first page.
[G1 Android Development] Major_Skidmark:
Compcache vs swap. I have been trying both over the last few releases and I do not notice any apprecialble difference in performance between the two. Swap has been much more stable (also as old a linux) Compcache's performance seems to degrade over time, where swap does not. With a 16G card, no problem with 128M for swap. If you use a smaller card compcache may be the answer for you.
[G1 Android Development] pdudek:
Had the same issues ;) I wiped ext and dalvik then i flashed the google 1.6 recovery and then 4.2.1 :)
[G1 Android Development] shaithis01:
I'll give that a shot.
[G1 Android Development] Loonacy:
The EBI1 patch modified the memory map (i think) to access the memory available in a 32A, which made it look like the same as the 10MB hack on 32B boards. 4.2.1 doesn't have the modified memory map so everything works as expected.
[G1 Android Development] Vlad83:
Whenever you get a black screen after boot it means you need wipe your ext (you dont have to wipe dalvik after as its on your ext).

I think the EBI1 patch reallocates memory thats dedicated to video to be used as ram.
[G1 Android Development] tw3k:
bfs v. compcache

w00t! doing method #2 for the mt3g and will run default for a bit.

thanks man, gotta buy ya b33r someday ;)
[G1 Android Development] 3Shirts:
Is there a way to upgrade without wiping and without all my protected apps getting busted so I have to reinstall them?

It's just a bit of a pain
[G1 Android Development] gruppler:
Successo!

Updated, then rebooted to fastboot mode to flash the BFS boot image, rebooted and everything is awesome! I just rebooted again and i haven't had any issues yet, so the blank screen on second reboot must be a G1 issue.

The only thing i don't like about this is the menu tab...the edges are jagged and the orange highlight is clearly fscked up. A very minor complaint, though, which is a good sign imo.
[G1 Android Development] inportb:
Antialiasing ftw? But yeah, tiny issue. Thanks for the awesome build.
[G1 Android Development] infernofalcon:
Triple ugghh

I tried flashing the recovery image 1.6 and I'm told no signature (5 files)

E: Verification failed

instillation aborted.

I tried redownloading and transfering and flashing with the same results.
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
Who said wipe? I haven't wiped since JF 1.51 with no issues that couldn't be debugged... Had to do some package.xml cleaning, and other stuff to work out old remnants, but my phone runs great!
[G1 Android Development] ei8htohms:
no increased RAM hack in this build

I've only just flashed this, but so far it is running great without any swap or compcache, so I'll run as if for awhile and see how it feels.

I don't know why some folks think this ROM has the increased RAM hack in it, I'm seeing RAM in the 98 MB range as per usual. ???

Nice job Cyan!
[G1 Android Development] 3Shirts:
My point is, if I don't wipe then my protected apps (twidget lite, Bloo and others) force close on me and I have to reinstall them after the update. Not a biggie but annoying when you lose things like app settings or game progress every rom update
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
I think you have the dev (fastboot) version of the HTC image, not the flashable update. Either fastboot flash the system.img from that file you have, or download and flash the alternate image found in my signature. Then flash the rom right after.
[G1 Android Development] backbeat21:
I had this same issue, pulled to battery to reboot and it came up great after that.
[G1 Android Development] buzzdroidx:
Thanks!!

I just want to say "Thanks Cyanogen, for yet another incredible build!" Hahaha this thing runs beautifully and I was able to load up the chimera theme and its running fast, stable, and generally untouchable. One more time, Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] rschuman90:
any good themes out for this already??
[G1 Android Development] shaithis01:
Okay, went this route, but every other reboot still sticks at the G1 screen. Any other ideas of how to correct this? Completely clean install.
[G1 Android Development] Vyrus408:
Very NICE!!!! Downloaded and flashed while runnin errands with tha wife, Runz Great!! Very fast and smooth!! Great Work Cyanogen!.. Ur tha man!! :cool:

update-cm-4.2.1-signed

instructions are out of date.

8- Apply sdcard:choose zip *Pick cm-4.1.99-signed.zip* from the list.

i'm guessing he means "update-cm-4.2.1-signed.zip" ?

any difference if you're flashing from CM 4.0.4 [stable] to current CM 4.2.1? as far as instructions? is a 6/8gb "class 6" memory card required w/ ext2/3/4 partition?
[G1 Android Development] buzzdroidx:
well when reading the instructions its pretty clear... when coming from 4.1.9+ just flash if not, as in like your trying you have to take the steps or try daveid's all in one method go back to the main forum page (Dream Android Developement)and its in the list...
[G1 Android Development] hatchetnyc:
Slower Multitasking?

So I loaded v.4.2.1 and tested it by playing music and writing a text message at the same time. The keyboard lag seemed to be much worse than v.4.19999 when i could text and listen to music at the same time...

Would this be an effect of removing BFS, slower multi tasking between programs?

For now, I switched back to v4.19999 because i'm often listening to music while i'm typing out emails or notes.

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] embracelb:
so i have to go from 4.0.4 to 4.1.99 first then go to 4.2.1?

[G1 Android Development] buzzdroidx:
when i went from 4.1.11.1 or whatever it was i used that method to nypass the double flash although i had done the double flash to go to 4.1.999 but i had some issues and a day later someone linked me to it. it owrked really well and when i went to .9999 i just upgraded the rom. now it looks as if there is one for 4.2.1 so go for it. it worked very well for me originally besides if you nandroid a backup first you lose nothing... i guess to clarify you should not have to triple step it just the one from 4.0.4 to 4.2.1 in daveid's onestep method

like i said i took a similar route but cant 100% verify but his earlier version worked really well for me

Does it downgrade Radio/SPL?

I have haykuro's latest radio and SPL (I needed that to try Hero builds). If the 1.6 update.zip from HTC contains older radio and SPL, isn't that equivalent to a downgrade of the radio? I thought downgrading radio was a dangerous proposition. Can the procedure for 4.2.1 potentially brick my G1 if I am using haykuro's radio and SPL?

I did search this thread but did not see this point addressed.
[G1 Android Development] buzzdroidx:
hakuro wouldnt have a newer radio than the current htc radio in the 1.6 image if you follow the requirements and instructions you will not get a bricked phone
[G1 Android Development] DOHCtor:
Cyan,

I like the keeping home launcher in memory feature you implemented. Anyway you can do the same thing for the native IM app? It's annoying how it gets pushed out of memory and doesn't notify me that it got signed off.

so pretty much just flash Daveid's version which is, just cyanogen's 4.1.999 ROM - Merged with ADP 1.6 files for a full update Revision 2. Then from there just flash Cyanogen's new v4.2.1? Class6 SD card required w/ EXT3/4?
[G1 Android Development] velazcod:
I'm an app developer.

After this rom, I have a few problems.

1) The Android Logger used for app development in the SDK doesn't work.

2) Setting flags to the WindowManager also doesn't work. For example: getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

So far that's the only thing I've found, but its a real problem because maybe some apps that have this feature, will stop working, or won't work correctly.

I have a switchrom and usually I test my apps against the most popular roms.

BTW, 4.1.99999999 was working perfectly fine.

that should get you there. Now I have made my 3 partitions previously so i cant tell you if that matters for this or not. Did you make a backup?

I see you are using amanras recovery so i presume you did

you might need to do a wipe and you might not it varies alot safe bet is to do it but try t without. then maybe if minor issues or even major ones try a reflash and see where you are hopefully im helping and not driving you crazy
