I was looking through the forums and saw something on a Ram hack, can someone explain a little more on that and what the benifit of it is. Also something about a new flash img file and what is new in that. The probs i am having is the lag and sometimes a blank screen and cant get out of standby mode, before i installed the 4.2.7.1 Rom i cleared the phone completely and went back to the original OS and then flashed the img and then put the Rom on and still having them lag issues just curious what was the final word on the Lag and crashing every now and again??

Thanks

Rapid Battery Drain

hi

I left the phone last night with about 80% battery, woke up 5 hours later to find it dead 0%. Yesterday i had to flash and reinstall because i had been messing and cocked some bits up.

I searched the forum and found this to try:

su(enter)

rm /data/system/batterystats.bin(enter)

Says no file found.

Any ideas would be appreciated

:D
[G1 Android Development] xKLoWNx:
having the same problem with mine going dead pretty fast battery life is way down for some reason. i have a task manager showing what is running and i dont even have much programs running to kill it this fast. when i was running 4.2.5 Rom i could go 2 and 3 days on a full charge with the overclock and underclock on standby and now i have the same setup but wont even last a whole day.
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
If you tried this from recovery, you probably didn't mount /data first.

I just wrote this up: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Troubleshooting#Battery_recalibration
[G1 Android Development] mramonks:
Thanks for your speedy help. I looked at the wiki. I have no keyboard in recovery mode/console to be able to type commands. I have a magic. As for the ADB shell i have no idea what im doing. I go as far as installing new roms but nothing else

cheers
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
for adb shell, install the sdk:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Install_the_Latest_Android_sdk

then you can type shell commands on the computer into the phone while it's in recovery mode (may depend what recovery you're using).
[G1 Android Development] WenWM:
Best ROM so far
[G1 Android Development] mramonks:
Im having issues using the SDK from my computer. Can you recommend a recovery that allows me to type in the console on a magic.

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
I don't think there are any recoveries with onscreen keyboards. But, as noted in the 'note' on that page, I'm pretty sure there's a menu option in amon_ra recovery that deletes the file for you.
[G1 Android Development] mursel03:
gmail sync is not working..
[G1 Android Development] jerhoyet:
What problems are you having with the SDK?

And like Psycho said, there is an option in the amon_ra recovery to delete the battery stats file for you.
[G1 Android Development] Charrion:
Yes, 1.5.1 has a menu option to clear the file.

"Work Email" App Issues

Hey guys, wanted to use the "Work Email" app instead of the native GMail (gives you the ability to zoom in and edit quoted text... plus, I can set it to check on a schedule unlike the gmail one). I am have issues with attachments: Any attachment that I try to open I get a "File is Corrupt" message. Any idea why? (those attachments open fine in gmail).

HELP

Please help,

I was in process of installing CyanogenMod v4.2.7.1. after flashing “signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip” I didn’t press HOME so ended up installing it. Now my G1 has HTC recovery instead of “CyanogenMod 1.4”

How do I install CyanogenMod v4.2.7.1

Thanks,
[G1 Android Development] QMAN101:
Good news and bad news. Good news is that you still have root. The bad news is you are not able to flash any custom roms because you no longer have the right recovery image.

This has happened to a LOT of people. The Cyanogen Wiki contains the directions for how to fix this.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/RE-recovery-img

Follow the instructions in the link and you should be fine.

P.S. A cursory search should have found this information for you. The instruction page at wiki.cyanogenmod also have a section for What do I do if things go wrong.
[G1 Android Development] ATZ-007:
Thank you so much

I did search for the solution but guess I didn’t look in the right place
[G1 Android Development] ohdono:
Hey guys, I flashed the latest cyanogen and recovery and in the description it says AP2SD is automatic if you have partition (ext). I don't know what that means. I tried looking it up but didn't see much of an explaination. Sorry for the noob question.
[G1 Android Development] dan0zone:
Search for ext2 or 3 or 4

READ learn and be educated ,before you do anything you don't understand.......

i hate to be a noob and ask this but how do i enable my linux swap? i partitioned 96 mb for it. i attempted using user.conf from the market but didnt really understand it. any help would be much appreciated
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
In terminal:

su

mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

echo 80 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

Do it every time you reboot if you want to use linux swap. And make sure compcache is disabled in spare parts.
[G1 Android Development] Chosen_on184:
it means that if you have a memory card partioned ( broken up ) into fat32 ext 2 ,3 ,4 etc then your apps are automatically saved on one of those ext and ran from there .. so when you go to menu / phone storage / you should see some huge number for phone storage ... which aps2sd is up and running .. most to all roms due this automatically now just have to partion your sdcard to enjoy the feature
[G1 Android Development] gtrplr71:
hey guys looked on issue tracker could not find issue I went up last night 4.2.7.1 and my gmail will not send. any solution on this? Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] ohdono:
I looked them up and did understand and then followed up on looking up how to make a second partition but had difficulties. The guide said something along the lines of starting the computer in safe mode, typing FDISK, press enter and it had some sort of error. Not sure if those were the right procedures concerning the g1 though. Id appreciate the help.
[G1 Android Development] QMAN101:
You can partition your sd card by using a recovery image that this built in such as amon ras. Cyanogens recovery has gparted to run in console but for noobs it might be easier to use Amon Ras. Alternatively, you could use a windows app like Paragon Partition Magic to do this on the PC. Stock windows formattign will not set up the EXT2 or linux swap partitions.

There is also an app in the market called swapper that will do this for you. It will also let you create a swap file on the FAT32 partition if you didnt make a swap partition on your sd card.

They will control My g1 as far as Call / End call .

Stereo Bluetooth Works fine also , Music comes out and sounds good.

Also Even after I un-pair my Head set or my bluetooth stereo set you can hear sound out the ear piece on the phone. Only solution is to reboot.

[G1 Android Development] QMAN101:
With APPS2SD all of your apps are on the EXT partition. Your phone will not know the difference. That is, if you set up an EXT2 or 3 or 4 partition and it is big enough.

Hello all, I'm asking for a bit of help please. I've installed CM's older versions awhile back and had to replace my phone under insurance. I followed the root steps EXACTLY on the wiki. When I load up the newest CM 4.2.7.1 It loads sometimes, other times it freezes as soon as it says "Android - Touch here to start" and when i restart my phone, it never goes past the MYTOUCH3G Green Screen. I have CM v.1.4 + JF recovery build, 32B My Touch phone, and the other specs say this-

hboot - 1.33.0006

cpld -10

radio -2.22.19.26I

EDIT: Another note, I have never flashed from 1.5 -> 1.6 on the stock rom. Is that needed?
[G1 Android Development] G1gurl:
Settings problem

It's seems when I go into settings my phone freezes there and it ends up rebooting on it's own. Can someone tell me what could cause this? Oh yeah I have wipe f/s, wipe ext and flashed (twice)

I tried to post my log but it was too many characters.

I'd like to disable prediction and autocorrect when typing on the hardware 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.

Thanks

I'm experiencing force close issues with Documents to Go. I downloaded it and when I tried to register, it would simply lock up and have to force close the app.
[G1 Android Development] Zoide_:
Try disabling "Quick fixes".
[G1 Android Development] xjjjay:
Thanks for the response.

Quick fixes is in the Android Keyboard settings... Isn't that the software keyboard? I'm talking about the hardware keyboard, I think the settings are under "device keyboard". Either way, quick fixes is disabled and so is the android keyboard altogether (I'm using htc_ime touch input)
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Dont tell him that

RC29 is the image used for the root-exploit..

You must do this

1.wipe

2.flash HTC 1.6ADP

3.flash cyan right after

4.reboot

5.should goto rec mode then reboot again
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
You're right, you can set the regular app to check at a specific time. But, the Gmail app uses an IMAP push. Meaning that as soon we you receive an email, Google pushes it to your phone. This is better than setting a time limit.

I am having an interesting problem. I do not know if it's my bluetooth receiver, or Android, and I'm not sure if its a cyanogen issue or an android issue, so I figure i'd ask here to see if anyone else has seen the issue.

I have a sony bluetooth receiver (http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs...51&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=11035425) that I use to receive bluetooth in my car. On the two apps i've tried, the music sounds pitchbended up about a sharp after playing for about 5-10 seconds. Apps are both Pandora and Streamfurious. I've noticed this since Cyanogen 4.0.4, but I might just be crazy.

I do not notice the same thing listening on headphones...

[G1 Android Development] elzee:
If you've been running 4.2.7.1 successfully, then yes, just update to 4 2.8.

I still find the best result is to download it to my PC from link in the first post. Connect the phone via USB to PC. Mount SDCARD to the PC. Bring up an explorer window, simply copy the latest rom zip file to the SDCARD. Rename it 'update.zip'.

Unplug the phone, reboot to Ra's recovery (v1.5.1) and select update from zip. Reboot. Wait .. wait some more .. wait a little more .. almost there .. Done! :)

thanks for the rom so much cyanogen. I had one issue however: when enabling internet tethering via usb, I find my g1 come up under "other devices>android phone" in my device manager with a question mark and a small exclamation mark by its side. Once I disable internet tethering over USB, everything runs smoothly again. This only occurs on Windows XP SP3. On my Windows Vista machine, however, I can run tethering via USB without a hitch. Any help on resolving this would be appreciated.
[G1 Android Development] koffeesforklosers:
what happened

going to throw this out there, because my thread searches haven't helped much. I had been running 4.2.7 perfectly since it was released without any problems. Today I take my phone out of my jacket and its completely dead. Won't charge even. So I take out the battery pop back in and then itll boot to the g1 screen, but nothing else. So then I go to recovery and restore backup and still won't boot past g1 splash screen. I wipe. Then it boots fine, but once setup is done home screen force closes and I get the acore error mssg. I still have notification bar though, so I decide to try 4.2.8 just to see what happens. Now it boots fine with no fc issues. Anyone have any idea what the hell happened?

When I say home was fc I mean completely black with no wallpaper or icons. dialer wouldn't work or any other button... just notification tab.

So everything with Cyan 4.2.8 works perfect on my G1, except it keeps changing my Market color back to the stock green/white even after I flash my theme (which is for 4.2.7.1 but said to work fine with 4.2.8). Any ideas on why this is happening?

I've wiped then re-flashed and when I flash just the ROM after wiping (no theme) the market is back to black/red, but as soon as I click on anything it changes it to green/white again.

I have successfully upgraded from cm4.04 to #.999. The instructions are straight forward. No wipe was required for me. I copied all 3 files to my sd card and used cyanogens 1.4 recovery to install them. Everything seems to be working.

I had an issue with touch input force closing every few seconds on .99. I ignored this and upgrade to .999 then switched off touch input, rebooted the phone, switched touch input on again. The force closes have stopped.

THE WHOLE POINT OF DOWNLOADING THE 'BASE' ROM FROM THE HTC WEBSITE IS SO YOU CAN AGREE TO THEIR TERMS AND MAKE GOOGLE HAPPY.

To supply 'mirrors' or 'alternate links' to this would be redistributing Google (and HTC and everyone) IP, and nobody here has a license to do that. That's what got us in this kerfluffle two weeks ago to begin with.
