How can i flash this? I have read it requires the HTC 1.6 SPL. I have Danger and have tried to flash and it wont work, so do i need to flash to 1.6? Can i flash? You cannot downgrade the SPL or youll brick. Isnt the HTC 1.6 SPL a downgrade from what i currently have? Id like to run this ROM but id love not to brick my g1, again..
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
When you're switching between these ROMs, you're formatting and clearing all partitions and performing a factory reset right?
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
What do you mean 'Get them working'
[G1 Android Development] sw20matt:
yes full wipe before install on both partition and factory reset, sorry forgot to mention that. dose main fat32 need to be wiped as well?
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
I don't think you have to wipe and reformat between every flash. But, I think if you are having issues, starting from scratch is an important step in establishing a baseline. Again, I find it strange that some people experience an issue and others don't, and I think that largely depends on the process people use for flashing. I know others suggest not doing a wipe between ROM updates, and I wouldn't do that, unless I had a problem. It can't be that difficult to format the SD, flash HTC, then flash CM, just to see if your issues are resolved. At that point, except for the recovery images, SPLs, and radios, all of our phones should be the same, right?

Random reebots when changing from plane mode

I don't know if I must post it on the Issue tracker, but I'm getting some reboots (booting from the Movistar-Tmob screen) when I change to plane mode.

I tried doing it some times one after all and I got the /proc/last_kmsg and the data/dontpanic logs, where I think that there should be the messages for the reboot.

I'm using CM 4.2.8.1 on a Dream (32A !$#!$%!·$ck... came with this board after going to tech service), with the 3.22.20.17 radio, but it happened to me also with the other one (i thikn it was 2.22.... the recommended one). HBoot-1.33.2005 (when returned from tech service they had applied the last Movistar Update to Cupcake, similar to the Rogers one, with a perfected SPL, so I reverted it but didn't want to touch so much).

I also noticed that when leaving home (where it's always connected to my wifi network), it takes a long to get the 3G connection if it hasn't been rebooted in the last 1 or 2 hours, that's why sometimes I go to plane mode, wait, and leave the plane mode, so it gets the 3G connection immediately. This also happened with the last versions (when I bought it) with the 2.22 radio. Searched but never found a "solution".

Sorry if it's already solved, but I haven't found anything as a solution!

PS: Attached a zip 'cuz the txt's where too large for the forum!

PS2: Tell me if I must submit to issue tracker please! Didn't want to post duty there if it wasn't necessary!

Thanks!

PS3: Editing to add more information: That happened me before, as I said, when the board was 32B, so I don't think it could be something related to the 32A; seen also that on the random reboots on the issue tracker someone talked about the wifi module.

Camera/Camcorder FCs

Hey all,

Am running 4.2.8 (no reason yet to go to .1) and cannot open either the camera or the camcorder without getting an FC:mad:

Have searched this and other forums and the only reference I can find is that the camera autorotates to landscape for some (or all)...

mine rotates too but then immediately FCs on me

what can i do to resolve?

cheers

edit - sorted by starting all over again from scratch - was missing some files i think
[G1 Android Development] kathompson2nd:
on 4.2.8 i never had the sms issue that was described but after .1 now i have the standard stock sms icon that never goes away unless i clear all notifications. i use currently the default sms app and even if i disable notifications i still get the standard stock sms icon when a message is received. flash rom again and did fix but nothing, any ideas? :confused:

also im having the issue where my notification bar locks up and i can't pull it down or use my menu to view it more and more...when this happens my screen automatically times out in 10 seconds and goes black. using the touch screen doesn't even keep it awake only the trackball. :confused:

[G1 Android Development] flarbear:
Perhaps you misread. The latest Cyanogen ROMs require you to first flash the HTC 1.6 ROM, not the SPL. The Cyanogen zip files only include replacements for the parts of the 1.6 ROM that he modified so first you install the regular HTC 1.6 ROM, and then before you reboot into it you install the Cyanogen "modified stuff" on top of it.

But you should be able to use a variety of SPLs as long as they allow you to flash arbitrary zip files. The recommendation is for Cyanogen's own SPL, but Amon RA's also works and I'm sure others would work as well.
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
Aaaaand that's confusing SPL with Recovery.

SPL ~= boot loader; versions: Engy/Hard (fastboot compatable); Danger (rearranges partitions); stock; etc.

Recovery ~= hidden backup partition; versions: CM-1.4, Amon_Ra-1.5 (available for dream, sapphire 32b and sapphire 32a)

For CyanogenMod you do not need dangerSPL. Hard/engy SPLs are not required but are handy to have.

The recovery just needs to be able to 'flash any zip', which includes CM-1.4 and I think most of the Amon_Ra versions.
[G1 Android Development] argylesocks:
so, regarding the gmail sync, I have tried the following:

clear cache from gmail

clear cache from gmail storage

clear cache/data from google apps & then relog in

wipe

reflash ROM

compcache on/off

keep home in memory on/off

after this, things may work fine for a day, or even a week. but sooner or later, emails will stop getting pushed through, and I will have to go through clearing cache to get things temporarily working again.

Delays may take up to hours to go through. After clearing cache last night, emails that came through at 1am, didn't come through until I manually synced this morning.

i know others have this issue....and I haven't seen any solid answer that fixes it. are people just living with it, unaware of it, or have I missed something??

Check the issue tracker before posting. Any thing regarding your issue will be posted there. As well as solutions. Cyanogen posts possible solutions to many of the issues that he discovers a fix for. If anybody else finds a fix they usually post there as well.

I can do the partition on a linux distro, but I can't connect up to the computer to run adb. But like QMAN101 said, I can use a different recovery image to do it.

[G1 Android Development] tnleeuw:
Memory usage of processes

Hi,

I don't have any hard evidence, but I have a feeling that applications use more memory in the latest CM builds than in previous builds, and in stock Donut.

When using Task Manager to view the process list and check the amount of RAM used by each process, I see that some processes use around 15Mb with CM 4.2.8.1 whereas I remember seeing the same process using around 9-10Mb with CM 4.2.6.

For other processes I also have the impression that more RAM is used, and comparing the memory usage of the Task Manager itself on my G1 with CM4.2.8.1, vs. my wife's Magic with stock Donut, the Task Manager uses more on my CM build than on her stock Donut.

I don't know what's the cause of this (perhaps the "precise GC?"), but on a memory-starved phone like the G1, that's not a good omen!

I do know that to a large extent memory is shared between processes and that this is not reported by such tools as top or a Task Manager. So I don't know if any extra memory attributed to a process is all shared memory, or not.

Anyone else seeing something similar?

Kind Regards,

--Tim
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
I'm pretty sure that there is no possible way that the ROM can cause applications to use more RAM. The usage of the RAM depends entirely on the Application and the settings you chose in the application. Which applications are you talking about? Maybe they've updated since you have started experiencing this and added another feature or something.
[G1 Android Development] tnleeuw:
Hi,

I'm pretty sure that the ROM can cause this. Different Garbage Collection in the JVM, size allocated for standard Java objects, size required for Framework classes due to different implementation, a JIT compiler which allocates extra RAM per process for it's compiled code... etc etc.

The applications include Task Manager (same version on both phones) and Bluetooth QuickToggle (version not changed significantly since upgrading).

Kind Regards,

--Tim

As far as I know this has nothing to do with your rom, you need to get the settings for the APN for your provider and input them.

Stable/experimental?

Will CyanogenMod be going back to separate stable and experimental trees? In the past I always used the stable builds and was quite satisfied with them, the current crop of "stable" are quite bleeding edge and under heavy development, that is great, but I don't always like doing endless QA on my phone.

Google Gears

Will some of you guys check your browser to see if your location is shown on your Google home screen underneath "Google Search" button?

I searched this thread, and the Dwang thread (he optimized Loccy's Better Browser) and apparently "Google Gears" is broken in some instances. His solution as of 12/15 is to download and push new Browser.apk from him, but this does not work. Here is his rationale for the break:

"The problem is running apkopt on the browser causes google gears to break."

Also, will you please check your browser settings and see if you can push the "Gears Settings" option in Browser settings and see if you go to a new screen? On mine it does nothing.

With 4.2.6, I had Google Gears. With a complete clean/format/wipe install of 4.2.7.1 (base install with no extra apps), it is messed up. Location is no longer showing in browser and "Gears Settings" option does nothing. Update to 4.2.8.1 does nothing as well.

Several other people have this issue in this thread, but no one has really responded, so I want to see how prolific this issue is.

Thanks.

****EDIT - Issue already posted: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmo...Priority Version Owner Summary Stars Modified *****

So many problems!

First off thanks to Cyanogen for the great rom, it is the only rom I have been using since I got my G1. As of recently I have been having problems, ever since I upgraded to 4.2.5 and every build after that my phone has been crashing more and more.

Freezes (that lead to force close options) on:

Opening/Closing Gmail

Opening/Closing Messages

Opening/Closing Email

:mad:Basically any program that I open or close may end up freezing up at the beginning or crashing when I close it. I also get random reboot as well. I do not know what I am doing wrong. I have tried:

Wiping

Reformatting SD Card

Nothing seems to help, I do not know what to do now, any help would be much appreciated. I do not think it is anything wrong with the rom, I feel like it may be something I am doing. Maybe I need to partition my memory card...IDK HELP :confused:

2. On that note, does anyone know why the Work Email app might just stop synching? It will do it once or twice but then won't again until I do it manually or reboot the phone (which was actually the reason for the wipe).
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Market downloading, then FC?

I've just resolved that one. Was painful kind of.

Clear data and market cache didnt help, and like someone said before, it was the Metamorph that broke it. I uninstalled it, then wiped all, flashed ADP 1.6 base, and then CM. Basically, I could only make it go away by starting from scratch...but there is probably an easier way. I don't know it yet. :D

Sorry about the off topic talk. It's a ***** finding info in this thread. Searching for 'market download fc' gave me well over 100 results.. Given I've never had any problems with the Market, none of the things usually posted (mostly recurring questions) helped. Your usual routine, clear cache/data, fix_permissions doesn't work in this case either. I hope it's the Metamorph that's causing your problem, otherwise we have found a new source of Market problems. I was also going to suspect the new boot image. This started happening after I flashed it (I think I had Metamorph before, and Market running just fine). Now I have the new kernel, no Metamorph, and it's running fine again. Kinda confusing...
[G1 Android Development] mackster248:
Yeah, I actually just used metamorph for the first time and that probably is the culprit. I guess I'll just bear with it for now and wait for an update from Cyan. Hopefully an update will fix it.

[G1 Android Development] Mickey G:
Have you tried the Any Cut solution?

1. Download Any Cut from the Market.

2. Long press on the Home Screen and choose Shortcuts.

3. Choose Any Cut.

4. Select Activity.

5. Scroll down and select Setup Wizard (for me, it’s the third one. Keep trying to you find the one that works).

6. Go back to the Home Screen and run the new Setup Wizard. You will have to do the Gmail account walk through again, but it usually works.

[G1 Android Development] sino8r:
I couldn't agree with you more... I'm sick of updating all the time. I just want one build that doesn't have a few bugs. Like 4.04 used to be... I know the issue is the constant tweaking of current rom and flashing a few times to build a base. The problem is even wiping, fixing EXT3/4, fix_permissions doesn't always work either. Formating SD doesn't always help. Still lots of FCs and kernel/memory hiccups that cause untimely reboots. So far, I've had issues since 4.2.5 and that was the last more stable release, imo... Oh well, it's fun to flash sometimes but sometimes I miss plain old stability. But if you want complete stability... don't use EXT4/A2SD/custom roms or any of the fun, useful stuff.:D

Market

I wish I had the time to go into all the details but the bottom line is that I was unable to successfully fix this on 4.2.8.1. I am far from being a noob and literally tried every single suggestion (compache, Spare Parts, Market data, etc) from here, the Wiki and anything I was able to find on the issue tracker. My findings: bart back to 4.2.8. This solved the problem. It very well could have been the Metamorph stuff I applied after upgrading to 4.2.8.1 or the ROM itself. Either way, since I have no specific need for .1 and little, if any time to try and figure it out, I barted back to 4.2.8 and everything is working as is should (for me) except for the ridiculously annoying random music issue (I'm going to try the new kernel if I can squeeze in the time).

I hope somebody finds out why the Market doesn't work but this is why I bart on the nightly basis. I can always go back to a working copy of my phone (pretty much back to February 2009).
