So I gotta ask the newb question. I'm currently using 4.1.11.1 and want to go the latest stable. Using your zip, Daveid, all I have to do is flash it like I normally would any other rom? Of course i'll wipe my phone because i like to start fresh, but i don't need to update my recovery image or flash a new radio or anything like that? Just flash your version and it will take care of everything, including giving me all my google apps, correct? Thanks in advance for your help.
[G1 Android Development] ObiCiscoNobi:
The only way ill do this update if it includes MyFaves ;)
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
That explanation is faulty. I had originally thought it was renaming those files as well, but a closer look at the backuptool.sh shows that it "cp -p $CACHE/$FILE $1" and then if a value exists afterwards it "rm $2". Meaning it copies the apps and removes the "placeholders" that Cyanogen created so his ROM would boot without the "Google Experience".

The sync problem has been noted by people who did not follow my update, however, I have not seen reports in here of people who flashed my update and still have sync options, are there any? If some people have the options, and some do not, I don't think the problem is with my packaging of the ROM. However, if no one who used my update have the sync options, I will re-package... So let me know.

Cherice - go to the main menu, select "Applications", "Manage Applications", "Browser", "Clear Data" - let me know if that works.

FatBoyExtraordinaire - you shouldn't even have to wipe.. You just need to flash this update.

ObiCiscoNobi - hahaha
[G1 Android Development] Cherice:
Thanks daveid...I did as you asked and then rebooted. I still receive the FC when I attempt to launch the browser. I also get a FC at startup relative to Partner Setup. Not sure what process that is, but, it only happens once when the phone is originally starting up. I am going to try the full install of cm 4.2.1 and the Android 1.6 Recovery Image and see if that fixes my issue. Thanks!!
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
The Google Partner Setup did this to me when going to 4.1.99, the solution was to walk through the "Setup Wizard" again, maybe that will help for you? You can create a shortcut using Anycut (or BetterCut) to an activity called "Setup Wizard" run through it (don't cancel part way), it will re-sign you into the Google apps.. see if that works.

You may also want to run fix_permissions.
[G1 Android Development] Cherice:
Sorry, I didn't know you would respond so quickly so I proceeded with the cm update to 4.2.1 It corrected both FC problems. Thanks again for your help!
[G1 Android Development] doubleokneegro:
hey thanx this helped me, i couldnt get past the login screen on the original update... wouldnt let me sync...

appreciate your work in putting this together:)
[G1 Android Development] doubleokneegro:
you may also use astro or another file browser.. pop into an old rom on ur sdcard maybe if u have it, then go to /system/app/GooglePartnerSetup or something very close to that and click launch.... if that helps u
[G1 Android Development] severedembrace:
That's what I did and it works like a charm. I did perform a nandroid backup, though.
[G1 Android Development] shaithis01:
No sync options for me either, and I had a completely clean install. Wipe, repartitioned and reformated SD.

Also getting Invalid Library trying to load CoPilot but that's another story I suppose.
[G1 Android Development] Lamar720:
How do I turn on auto rotate?

[G1 Android Development] DaNgLe:
will this work with a sapphire 32b? google voda magic?
[G1 Android Development] Lamar720:
Thanks it was already on and working but, just slow at 1st, this update is working good for me Thanks David
[G1 Android Development] Beast84:
Well the sync issue didn't happen to me till I tried 4.1.9999. As I tried others, it still wasn't happening. So I went back to 4.1.11.1, then to 4.2.1 & all is good now. I don't know what happened but I fixed it
[G1 Android Development] embracelb:
Cyanogen 4.2.1 full update files

currently on CM4.0.4, does this mean i can just download the Cyanogen 4.2.1 full update files, &i can just wipe then flash from there? No additional steps? or do i have to do a wipe then 4.1.999 ROM - merged with the 1.6ADP files, then a wipe then the Cyanogen 4.2.1 full update files?
[G1 Android Development] torrentss:
I went from original cyanogen 4.0.2 -> wipe -> daveid's 4.2.1. No sync options in Settings as a result.

Also, my desktop icons disappeared several times completely (not the usual home unloading problem), rebooting helped. But I guess this is a cyanogen problem.
[G1 Android Development] gReg0r:
hmm i just updated from your last full image with the 'original' cm-4.2.1 and i've the data sync option ...
[G1 Android Development] sir*mez:
yea i lost my

data sync

option from the settings. im trying to figure how it happened. i was using this to update so idk if its this or not. im going to check and update how cyan says: htc recovery then his rom. if data sync comes back ill update my post.
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
Alright, sorry again y'all. Remember how I said his script removes those files, guess what I forgot to do... remove those files. How about I am uploading another R2, hopefully this solves any issues. Sorry again.. See first post for update in a few minutes.

Revision 2 is uploaded. Links are as follows:

Mediafire

Megaupload
[G1 Android Development] shaithis01:
Yep, that fixed it! Thanks again.
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
No problem, sorry for the screw up... I can't believe I missed that step, right around the time I posted about it.... duh.. :)
[G1 Android Development] sir*mez:
Yep that fixed my problemas!! Thank you!!
[G1 Android Development] paradoxgoonz:
Hands down ,Perfect rom.. lovin the 4.2.1 No problems and super fast!! and thanks for disablin CC, now i canset it. Yhanks ill buy u a beer when i get paid :D
[G1 Android Development] Setarcos:
There is another way to recover the sync menu.

mount /system -o remount,rw
rm /system/app/ContactsProvider.apk
rm /system/app/SubscribedFeedsProvider.apk
mount /system -o remount,ro
reboot
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
I gotta truly thank you for making this "mash up". While I'm sure I could have read and done it the "normal" way, I'm always second guessing myself and thinking I'mma do something wrong and you have taken the guess work out of it and I appreciate it. A simple flash and I'm back in the game, sign me up! I think I'mma still completely wipe phone and sd and ext because I flashed from 4.0.4 to 4.1.11.1 without wiping and I have been getting a lot of force closes and what not.

Great, I always like hearing feedback from people in similar situations. Good looking out. Sounds like it's time to get flashing. Unfortunately, with the work week starting, I probably wont get a chance until the weekend. Question though, what ext is better for this ROM, ext 3 or ext4?

So this version takes care of the sync issues I have been reading about? Man, I can't wait to flash. Had to scrounge up a few free moments just to write this.
[G1 Android Development] A8000:
Thanks for making things easier!
[G1 Android Development] torrentss:
Worked like a charm (without reflashing), sync is back.

Thanks a lot (Setarcos and daveid)!

P.S. The last remount is not needed (I think), and it throws a "busy" error anyway.
[G1 Android Development] Wesie:
Exception with Contacts - so like as in 4.1.99x

Hopefully someone read this one from the Dev-Team, because there are a lot of page only with : No problem, THX and all things are going nice.

I have the same problem as in 4.1.99x, that I can not add a contact in my group (there is still ony one, which was working after some crashes in 4.1.999)

If I look into the exception Monitor, I can found a lot of:

For they great work (curent and in History) als from my side : BIG THX AND CONTINOUS
[G1 Android Development] avallark:
great!

great work Dave!!

respect to you for taking on the mantle. I think google got a **** load of bad publicity by taking on cyan the way they did.

The fake "do no evil" followers dinn seem that puritan after all. Guess thats what happens when you become a giant corporate like IBM.

The flash went smooth and love it. Please keep on with it. Respect.

I have unlocked g1. Flashed 4.1.99 and 4.2.1. Coming from 4.1.11.1 w/enoch theme. Did wipe. Market and gmail does not work. Tried flashing a few times and still no market or gmail. Thank god for backup. Any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] mr.r9:
First of all: Thank you Cyanogen & daveid :D

This 'full pack' update works great on my HTC Magic.
[G1 Android Development] cicciobellomo:
Anybody helping us ?

I'm in the same situation. Someone could help us on this topic ?

Thanks in advance
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
Reading the first post of instructions always helps.

Cyon split his roms up as to not get in trouble, hence all the extra steps.

Witht his, you flash it like any hero rom.

Wipe data, Wipe EXT, Fix EXT, Flash, Reboot. Tada.

If it doesnt work then YOU did somethign wrong because After flashing this, Im staying away from hero builds for a bit. I didnt realize how bad I missed my BT and GPS
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
I would suggest not wiping anything. Just flash and reboot. If you run into problems you can start troubleshooting by running fix_permissions, repair ext partition, and if it comes to it... wipe..

I hold wiping for a last resort, and have not done it to my phone since I migrated from JF1.51 to CM's mods a long time ago.
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
Wow really? I thought you are always supposed to wipe before flashing a new rom. I thought it was like the golden rule. Wouldnt not flashing coming from say Mligns hero or kings leave remnants of those files and structure to where flashing a cupcake/donut build over would cause massive amounts of FC's and app problems?

Im new here sorry, but not new to linux and I know if you try to install debian over an Ubuntu build with no format your gonna get some problems.
[G1 Android Development] sturmeh:
Thanks, works a charm.
[G1 Android Development] ths_:
Best rom I have used yet. Thanks for packaging it all nice and neat for us. :)

[G1 Android Development] AndBuggy:
Good evening,

I've tried this without wiping first and it worked just fine.

Thank you and keep up the good work.
[G1 Android Development] ready4thebreak:
Just wondering

I have two questions. I applied update 4.2.1(I was using 4.1.9999 prior to it) and I always get process.acore.com(or something to that effect) EVERY time I rotate the home screen or open the keyboard(but not when just in an app). Is this a CM 4.2 thing or has anyone else had this same problem? It runs if I force close the process and wait, but it's a real headache.

I'm hoping that just reflashing will fix this. But this also leads me to my next question. Since I've already moved to version 4.1.9x can I just use CM's new updates now instead of waiting for this dev to continue to go behind Cyanogen? He states that this is possible for those who take all those extra steps he was forced to add, but I don't know if things go haywire since we did this with a full update. I'm willing to be the first to try it Daveid would like me to try. I know it will only make things easier if that's the case.

Thanks so much to Daveid for allowing this to all be possible.
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
It's one of your homescreen widgets causing the crash when rotating the screen remove them one at a time to find out which.

You should be able to flash straight from 4.1.9x to any of the most recent updates without any problems this rom and cyans are essentially exactly the same once both have been flashed.
[G1 Android Development] ready4thebreak:
I'm going to check the Home screen widgets out right now. Thanks so much for the quick help. I'll reply back in a couple to let you know how it went.

Update: You were correct! Thanks so much. It turns out it was either my Audio Manager widget or Power Control(they were on the same screen). That was a headache I was really worried about. Now off to the 4.2.2 update. I'll let you know.
[G1 Android Development] osokrayzay:
waiting for your update sir, TIA
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
+1 on that. Appreciate all your help.
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
If you all used my previous updates, you should be able to flash Cyanogen's official update (and not wait for me to get around to doing this again). If you have used one of my previous updates, and have issues flashing direct to Cyanogen's ROM - PLEASE let me know.

Also, did anyone who used my update have issues with Gtalk not working? A couple users have reported that they had issues with it force closing on them, and I am trying ti find out if this is isolated or not. So if anyone flashed my 4.2.1 Revision 2, and can use Gtalk, please let me know.. well, let me know either way, but be sure to note if you used Revision 2 as the first build I posted was faulty.
[G1 Android Development] AndBuggy:
Good morning,

I have installed your update 4.2.1 and after that already applied automatic CM update for 4.2.2 and Enoch Theme 1.4 and Gtalk seems to be working fine. No FC's

However, always have to apply port Rad2.6.29-bfs otherwise phone won't boot up.

If any issue come up I will post it.
[G1 Android Development] short/y:
I used your 4.2.1 image to flash from cyan's 4.0.4. No problems, no wipe, just flashed and I've been running just fine. Last night I flashed directly to cyanogen's 4.2.2 and got the following:

10-28 08:01:00.031 3304 3312 I PackageManager: /system/app/GoogleApps.apk changed; collecting certs
10-28 08:01:00.131 3304 3312 E PackageManager: Package com.google.android.googleapps signatures do not match the previously installed version; ignoring!

which, I think, culminates in

10-28 08:57:13.239 3301 3383 W ActivityManager: Unable to start service Intent { act=android.accounts.IAccountsService cmp=com.google
.android.googleapps/.GoogleLoginService }: not found
10-28 08:57:13.249 3533 3533 W AccountMonitor: Couldn't connect to Intent { act=android.accounts.IAccountsService cmp=com.google.andr
oid.googleapps/.GoogleLoginService } (Missing service?)

Gmail won't connect nor will Market (not sure if Market's related or not). I tried copying GoogleApps.apk out to sdcard and reinstalling it but the installer said it couldn't.

I've gone back to my nandroid backup and am running fine on 4.2.1 again. Any suggestions, though, about the issues?
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
Can you do me a favor, and drop to a terminal on your phone, run this and paste the output here:

md5sum /system/app/GoogleApps.apk

Did you use the 2nd Revision of my mock-build?
[G1 Android Development] short/y:
Just to clarify, this is what's on my phone with your 4.2.1 build. Here ya go

# md5sum /system/app/GoogleApps.apk
960be28e3add1072c931543431c14ef3 /system/app/GoogleApps.apk

Sure did.
[G1 Android Development] kurosarakokuou:
I tried to go to cyanogen 4.2.2, and got the same errors as the above poster. no gmail, no market. going back to 4.2.1.

any help would be greatly appreciated!
[G1 Android Development] djosiah:
i know this is a noobish question but i cant figure out a solution. i flashed this rom and pushed my apps to /system/sd/app like i normally do after wiping my ext partiton, but the apps do not appear in the launcher. i used root explorer to check if the apps were pushed correctly and they are in the folder nut just not showing up. the reason i wiped the ext partition is becuase i flashed from a hero build any ideas why thi is happening? i really dont want to install every app manually.
[G1 Android Development] kingskidd268:
I went from unlicensed 4.2.1 to Cyanogen's 4.2.2 no problem just dont wipe. Update only. everything works.
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
That is an exact match for the file on my phone, and I updated it the official route.

It is odd that a few people can update to Cyanogen's latest with no issues, yet at least two people have encountered this same issue coming from my "build". I am not sure I can suggest much else at this point, except to flash the official route. That way at least Cyanogen will provide you with support, which I don't really have the time for.

That being said, I can't keep up with his updates, and am giving this up. I have too much going on in real life right now. My wife and I are closing on our house in two weeks, my god-daughter just turned 1, my nephew is 6 months old, my newest niece was just born today, and I have a wedding to go to next weekend... all on top of a 45+ hours a week job.

My advice to everyone who is having issues moving to the new release is to grab the HTC rooted base off these forums, and follow Cyanogen's update procedure.
[G1 Android Development] ready4thebreak:
Thanks

Hey man, it's understandable. Programming is most definitely time consuming. So hey, thanks for making things much, much easier and I'll try the update and cross my fingers hoping it works for me as well. I wish I could carry on the work you've done, but I'm spending the majority of my time simply learning about programming, but I'm not ready to jump in. Thanks a lot from me, personally, and I'm quite sure from the entire Android community.

Man you need to stop trolling the dev forum, I've seen you "smack" talk 4 or 5 people just today. You never have constructive criticism, it's only just *****ing or complaining....
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
I don't think under mining cyanogen like this is a very good idea, he went to a lot of hard work to meet googles demands and has done a very good job of it.

If noobs arent capable of the quite frankly simple and pain free process of installing the rom correctly then they shouldnt be rooting their phones and doing these sort of things in the first place.
[G1 Android Development] Meltus:
init, every single post he's made has been stupidly and needlessly negative.

i vote for a ban.
[G1 Android Development] veritasaequita:
he just did what every other cooker does and used someone elses work plus his own tweak and put out a rom, this wasnt straight from cyans pc. On every thread i see now all u do is pick **** apart and blah blah ****ing blah!!! You never have anything good to say which pretty much contradicts your name in its entirety so my guess is you should either change your name to "talks to much ****" or just stop posting your worthless comments. Im just stating the obvious and finally typing what everyone else has wanted to tell u. Stop being a pest and just leave the worthless comments out, half of the "debates" would end if u just chilled a little. sorry bro im sure your a very cool guy i just cant take it anymore.
[G1 Android Development] f4phantomii:
3rd'd.....I wish this site had an "ignore all posts from..." setting like others.

This was a nice idea...make it easier for a lot of people, especially given the problems more experienced folks have had updating it in the two-step process. There are an awful lot of modded phones out there whose owners were able to root them because others made the process a one-click step. This is no different.

I see nobody taking credit for anyone else's work. This is fine unless the mod's decide they don't want the liability. And since the actual update file is hosted elsewhere......
[G1 Android Development] valefore:
well, i tried it.

shet worked fine. i went from 4.1.999 to this single flash update of the same rom. seems to run a little faster than when i booted through cyan's method but nothing that's light speed faster, might just be that i hit taskiller on this one and not on the one i had before, idk. lol

uhh.. good job man.

here's what i did:

just downloaded the file on the first page.

booted into recovery (power on while holding "home")

wiped then repaired extensions on SD.

flashed it and it was good to go. ^_^

(might have to clear the ext2/3 or w.e if coming from a Hero rom but i'm not too sure on that one. i would if i was you though. lol)

might be faster for you, might not, either or it's cyan's 4.1.999 and it's easier to flash.
[G1 Android Development] bodyman:
I need to put my two cents in and i don't expect change either.

I don't post a lot here, because any questions that I have had have been answered using the search button, but I think that at one point, weren't we all noobs at one time or another. Some one has to start somewhere. I know that I wasn't sure about what I was doing before I rooted my phone and a couple of times thought I bricked it, but I want more just like anyone else. I don't know coding that much and frankly do not have the time to learn right now, but I do appreciate the work of the dev's and what they do.

I also noticed that they all work together in some fashion or another, and I always see "First I would like to thank so and so, so and so and so on." And that is what he basically said and that he means nothing bad about it or even trying to take credit for it.

Besides, I think if 1 little thing that cyan included with his 4.1.11.1 update (new market), then I don't think he would've gotten a C&D (my 2 cents)
[G1 Android Development] Shane2:
That happened to me as well, but I was able to flash Cyan's modified recovery image via fastboot, and install his rom, but as I performed a complete wipe(data and Apps to SD Partition), I didn't personally get any slowdowns
[G1 Android Development] nabzilla1990:
thanks and can u add the htc ime and all the htc framworks which were removed after 4.11.1 and add pdf reader if its not already and will u do this for 4.2 coming out also can u make a theme template
[G1 Android Development] mbiza:
I think: if someone wants Cyanogen roms, just use his method, and if you find it too difficult just try this method.

This is not useful IMHO
[G1 Android Development] Chedderknight:
Thanks, I got it through cyanogens method, but this makes a great back method if things were to go wrong.
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
I remember someone making a comment to cyanogen on irc about how his roms would become warez after that day. I also think I remember (it was a while ago, gimme a break) that he replied something along the lines of "yeah". I would almost bet that he wont mind :P
