I noticed that I got a notification telling me to upgrade maps through the market, since i was having mixed results using the solutions, i figured i would try it. its version 3238 and it has navigation, every time without fail. it works great imo....
[G1 Android Development] Charrion:
I've noticed this also. Especially with Twidroid Pro, every time I upgrade the app I have to run fix_permissions on it and reboot or it FCs. It seems to me this behaviour began around or about the advent of 4.2.X but I can't be certain which version.

I'll try to grab a log the next time a new version of Twidroid Pro drops, which should be soon.

sorry but where are Gmap and market???,how can i get it?

map.apk? what's about market?how can i get it
[G1 Android Development] raysilverstone:
idk if anyone has discovered this. Go into gmail and compose a new message then press menu then select attach it will prompt you what type of application you want to use for this process (this will only come up if you have a file manager app that would also view files) In this list the Word Gallery is not listed it just has the icon for Gallery. I would screen Shot it but it seems That Cyanogen Took that screen shot off with one of the updates a few back.
[G1 Android Development] Edward2868:
Is this suppose to happen

So i always had this ROM and i loved it. Works fine and theres alot you can do with it so yeah,im a big fan sir Cyanogen but recently i've been having problems and don't know wether its this ROM or something else...heres my story

So i flashed a HERO ROM and it wasn't so great. Like most Hero's, it wasn't going as fast as regular ROMS so i went back to cyanogen.

I wiped

Installed the HTC Dream recovery image

Rebooted phone

Installed Cyanogen 4.2.5

Rebooted and done!

But after i had a huge problem were the phone was really lagging. Like when i was in the browser and pushed Home button, it would take it like 10 seconds for the icons and widgets to come on. After a while this got really annoying. So i did all the steps above again to hopefully fix all of this and it did....kinda...so yeah i was just posting to see if anyone knew if this was a Cyan problem or something else...

Any advice on how to fix this would really be appreciated.

Thanks

Market is already on your phone... Android Market...ring any bells?... swipe the tray up, from the home screen, and scroll down until you see 'Market'( it looks like a little shopping bag that you would see at a...MARKET place. and that is the market and search for Google Maps... same thing as the maps.apk. trust me.

no pun intended but just a little dry humor thrown in
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Did you flash the HTC recovery image before flashing CM4.2.5? It seems to me you didn't. See the first post and the Wiki, and check if you followed the steps correctly.

v4.2.5 and Wifi Tether?

Am enjoying the v4.2.5 ROM on my Magic and Class 6 microSD card. Thank you.

One quick query. USB tether works but is anyone using a Wifi Tether program? I have tried aNetShare, but this doesn't work. Any ideas? Thank you :)
[G1 Android Development] rantrav:
I still use the WiFi Tether app. Only because I cannot access my SD when using the other. But I do use both. Hope this helps.
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
Does anyone's phone keep restarting on its own?
[G1 Android Development] Edward2868:
Something that may help would be to shut the phone down for a couple of minutes and then restart it. Not saying that it will help, but it might. Also, it could have something to do with your sd, if you have a cheap-small-one, like myself. I have a cheap 4g sd and have the same problem. Another thing, when I change to a new ROM I always 'redo' my sd card and partitions, I like to play it safe.[/QUOTE]

Thanks for the advice man but i did that already. I let the phone sleep for 1 whole day and still the same and yeah i wiped my SD card and cleared all its partions and still nothing.
[G1 Android Development] pdagenius:
I presume the one you mean is Andorid-Wifi-Tether/Wireless Tether for Root Users - anyway it worked first time, no problems. Thank you
[G1 Android Development] tony_m78:

Yep: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=645
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
That's been answered.. personally I don't use Windows, but there was something about the new HTC Sync program, which has the necessary drivers. You might need to delete existing Windows driver configuration for your Android phone using USBdeview.
[G1 Android Development] ScotterMonkey:
How to get new Google Maps working, please?

I'm running 4.2.5 and wanting to install the new Google Maps. I appreciate the following instructions and wonder if someone can give a bit more detail on how to do each of the three following steps? For example, what is "adb" and what the steps to do a "adb remount"? What is "adb push"?

1. adb remount <-- what is this?

2. adb push /system/app/Maps.apk <-- what is push?

3. Install new Google Maps from the app market

UPDATE: FYI - going to settings, manage applications, Google Maps, clear data & cache and then trying to install Google Maps 2.0 did not do the trick. I think I will just wait for Cyanogen 2.0.

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
Hmm I reinstalled the ROM without flashing a theme and it seems to be doing better. Maybe it was the theme.
[G1 Android Development] Mr. Nefarious:
Would just like to report the only bug I've seen so far in my daily usage of cyanogen's 4.2.5. When on a call today I received another call (call waiting). Before I answered the second call, the first party hung up. My phone did not auto-pick up the second call so I pressed the hard green call button to switch over. After a 1 second pause I received an error message: "Error: Could not switch calls". I pressed close on the error message and then was able to switch over to the new caller. It wasn't an issue in the end, however it was simply annoying and added a significant amount of time before I could answer the new call. Not complaining here, just reporting a bug that I've seen. Thank you as always cyanogen for building the best daily-usage rom Android has seen so far. 4.2.5 is certainly amazingly fast and I'm only using the stock class 2 card.

Quick question for cyanogen if you see this: Your roms have always been Dream and 32B compatible which I sincerely appreciate because I myself am a 32B owner. However with the latest additions of Eclair to the android tree there are rumors that the sys partition on the Dream is not large enough. The 32B however has a larger sys partition. Is there a possibility of us 32B users seeing a full featured eclair or are you working your usual cyanogen magic so that even the dream guys get the full version as well?
[G1 Android Development] Jamison904:
As we speak Cyanogen is working on porting over 2.0. He has already said that he has flashed it and it is working. Camera and video I beleive are the only issues as of thos weekend. Keep an eye out because I think his next update will be 2.0 and soon.

google maps

I just flashed over to 4.2.5....I have a google maps icon on my home screen, but when i click it it says the app is not installed on my phone. When i go to the market to install it..... I get an installation error that says incompatible update. Any suggestions??
[G1 Android Development] Jamison904:
Go to settings/manage apps/google maps and clear data and if there is cache clear that and try to install it again

[G1 Android Development] chisagitta:
need help! G1 stop after

This is the update guide from wiki.cyanogen.com & I strickly followed this on my T-Mobile G1

However, after installing ROM 4.2.5 and reboot phone, it said writing radio image then auto reboot a second after that

Then it appeared the screen like this

Then it stuck at this screen for over 03 hours already. Tried to reboot by remove the battery, enter the recover mode (Home + Power), fastboot mode (Back + Power) and Camera + Power... but after that, still the same screen as above

So what's happening to my G1? Is it broken? How to fix this???

Thanks you guys all for giving me a solution! Really need my G1 to be back!!!!

Search Force Close

Has anyone else seen this issue?

I am copying from a code.google issue 4136

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have just received the update to Donut. I am unable to use any Search

feature.

- I click 'Search' in the Market and my phone freezes, then reboots.

- I click 'Search' on the widget from the home screen, the phones freezes

then the search bar locks up.

- I went to Settings -> Search and I get a force close that will not go

away. The only way to clear is to quickly turn off my phone between force

close notifications.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I didn't notice it as an issue on my phone until I installed aurora search, but it is possible that isn't the issue, only when I first started noticing it.

I am currently running Cyanogen 4.2.5
[G1 Android Development] bigragu:
You don't need to do this anymore. Google has released the Navigation version on the market for the G1. Just download and install.

Need to run fix_permissions upon upgrade of certain apps on CM 4.2.5?

You guys, I was able to verify this issue on my phone by watching what happens during an app upgrade from the Market. I tried with Bluetooth file transfer app, and it is true: it wouldn't run until I ran fix_permissions. I have some data available and posted here:

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=768

Please do contribute if you can (over at bug tracker naturally).

Maybe it isn't connected with the ROM at all, who knows... It would be nice if you guys could dig up another app that has similar problems.

Chisigitta:

This happened to me yesterday because I mistakenly rebooted during the "signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip" installation. Apparently, I lost root. You can get to a recovery by using 'alt-L' from that screen in your post. It will only work with a Rom named 'update'. So you may have to pull sdcard and rename whatever rom you want to try. I had to re-root from scratch.
[G1 Android Development] Chahk:
*sigh*

Open up your keyboard and press Alt + L.
[G1 Android Development] dead2hill:
I need some help..please. it involves internet tethering and adb.

When I plug phone in w/o tethering on my adb/mount usb works. When I turn tethering on usbmount doesn't work and shows usb debugging still, however it recognizes it as a different device that will not accept any drivers I try. I'm running XP pro sp3, it works fine on the vista laptop but there I don't develope, so not having tethering is a downer for me and hope someone know a fix. Thank you for any input also ask if I forgot some info.
[G1 Android Development] mygti02:
i shut off compcache and swap, and i was amazed of how much faster this ROM started running, i was like WTF?? i have been running it like this for 3 days now and its been perfect. I even have a bunch of widgets running on all 5 screens with no lag. amazing

cant wait for the next update.......going through flash withdraw.....starting to twitch lol keep up the good work man!
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
hey dude with the brick. press alt-L

u prob lost root, but w/e redo.

at this point its reeally hard to brick your phone. only if you mess up with spl/radio out of order.
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
It's a little unclear.. Is it SD card mount that doesn't work, or is it ADB that doesn't work? My experience is, when USB tether is on, I can mount the card to the PC, but I can't ADB (it doesn't see the device, since it isn't an ADB device anymore, but turns into a network interface). This seems pretty normal, but if you have problems with mounting the SD card, that is not normal.

I can't even see the reason for any special drivers for a removable device, that should work with a generic Windows driver. I also remember my ADB broke once on Windows Vista, and I had hell of a time fixing it...for no apparent reason! I had to delete all the drivers (USBdeview) and redo it several times (!?) I don't know, I can only blame it on stupidity of Windows... which is a part of the reason why I left it for Linux.

Sorry if this didn't help you.. if it's of any help, I did see a person here with a similar problem (check last 200-250 posts).

I was under the impression that you could not tether while the SD card is mounted to your PC when running Apps2SD. I could be mistaken.

Screen unresponsive while in a call [CM 4.2.5]

I've seen people report they can't pull up the dial pad while in a call.

I have tried this, and everything else involving touching the screen, and the screen doesn't respond to any input. If a few of you can confirm this, then let's open the issue in the tracker?
[G1 Android Development] McBang2023:
so are you saying that if you let the htc image boot you lose root and have to start all over again?
[G1 Android Development] Boonyard:
Hmmm haven't had any problems myself...
[G1 Android Development] killyouridols:
Just for tracking purposes, mine DOES work (calling Voicemail anyway) I can pull up dialpad and interact with it EG Press 4 and it prompts me to enter a number. Not much help to you, I know, but definatly not a Issue with all installs
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
EDIT: I found out what's causing this. Turns out it's the userinit.sh I've been using. Now disabled it, fix_permissions (just in case) and the problem is gone. So, surely a re-flash would have fixed it, but there's no need for it in this case.

Ok, it's good to know that it is working for most of you guys.

However, these two I'm interested in..

Have you guys solved your problems? You have been advised to flash again, did that do the trick?
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Yeah, me too. I think I started noticing it around version 1.11.1 but never really thought much of it because the icons were clear to distinguish what it was. And I also noticed the typo in there and got a nice little chuckle every time I read it because I have a friend who stutters on that word and that's how he says it. :)
[G1 Android Development] chisagitta:
Thanks dudes for helping me. But guess that due to something wrong during the 'writing radio image' process then the SPL was broken. HIGHLY RECOMMEND that DO NOT USE 'signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip' ROM but use 'HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip' ROM instead, and you guys can avoid losing root or bricking your G1

P/S previously my G1 had been installed with 4.2.5 already but I wanna do that again to refresh it (cause laggy most of time) but now what? stupid me

Your problem is losing the root. We can fix it by downgrading to RC29 then flash the latest recovery image (e.g RA-dream-v1.3.2 or cm-recovery-1.4) then repeat the installation again. But my G1 is stuck at the stupid 'writing radio image' process until now (02 days already)

Nothing happened when pressing alt-L man

Can not do that dude. Nothing happended. Guess that it is the problem with SPL/radio writing process after flashing the both ROMs but dunno why

It's too late man. Now even cannot access to device from PC, let alone using adb.....

Anyway, keep waiting and hoping.....

kernel config/headers

Where I may take a cm-kernel config (or headers) for this release?

Also uClibc config is appreciated ;)

[G1 Android Development] romanr:
PSYchoatwORK (#cyanlogenmod, freenode) pointed me where to get config: there is /proc/config.gz.

But it would be nice to have ".config" for uClibc, since the author probably has much more experience configuring it then me ;)

Actually I'm compiling uClibc to be able to build "screen" and "mc", since building them with bionic & ncurses is a real hell :(

Wow, just wanted to say thank you for this amazing release. I've been using CM for a while and have only made good experiences with it, but after flashing to 4.2.5 yesterday evening (coming from 4.1.999) I have to say: really impressive. Fast, fluent, great.

Thank you Cyanogen for all your work. Your releases are the reason why I'm still fascinated about my G1. Usually after 6-12 months I start losing interest in my current phone and look around the market to see what's new. With my G1 I'm simply upgrading to your newest firmware.

Will definitely consider to buy you a beer when my account's balance is back to normal (always hard to have some spare money as a student) ;)

I have a problem with the Market... I have followed the procedure in the cyanogenmod's wiki and all is OK (calendar, gmail, maps, all work), but when I try to start the Market (I have the icon) the screen become white for a few seconds and it return at the home. I have upgraded from an old cyanogenmod 4.0.3, I have tried without and with wipe, but it not work at all... Anyone have the same problem and have resolved it?

Hi,

I have the latest CyanogenMod(v4.2.5) on my G1. How can i change the hostname of the device? In the JF 1.51 rom i created a file(/etc/init.rc) that contains this lines:

hostname kriszdroid

But in this rom, this not works. In the dhcp server(dnsmasq) leases file appears the hostname as *.

how does one turn off swap??
[G1 Android Development] dead2hill:
Well...lol, I can't tether @ all, I can adb and mount the usb, but when I turn tethering on it asks me to install a driver, this happened just recently as I can use on vista laptop and used it before upgrade on desktop. So my issue would be that my tethering does not work, when tehtering is off I can adb/ and mount usb, when I turn tethering on it shows usbdebugging still but takes away usbmount option then recognizes it as a new device asking me for drivers....
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Aha I geddit. So, it's the WinXP SP3 that's having problems? Did you try the drivers that came with HTC sync? Cos I hear that works... You may have to do the USBdeview thing... a couple of times.. :D

P.S. I'll check if I can get it working on Win7, I'll let you know what driver it uses...no idea if it'll help, but anyway..

Swap is off by default.

The person you quoted probably enabled it by themselves.

Also, I have to disagree. Unless you do something really wrong, swap can only help your performance (it will degrade the SD card though).

Nevertheless, to turn swap on and off, you can use commands swapon and swapoff. You need to have your SD card formatted appropriately.

# swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 --> to switch it on
# swapoff /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 --> to switch it off

[G1 Android Development] Cobra281:
this problem happened once in awhile before when i had jf v1.1, but now after going cyanogenmod 4.2.5(v1.6 of google), it seems to have gotten worse. basically, several times a day, my phone would just stop responding, both the touch screen and keyboard. eventually, the screen would turn black, and nothing would work. i would have to pull the battery, put it back in, and turn it on, in order to get the phone working again. it happens again after doing that anyhow, sometimes.

what could the problem be? i did a wipe before installing cyanogen, also, so it can't be that.

and, off topic, but how do you calibrate the battery? i have the 'new, updated' battery that i got from t-mobile not too long ago, and i let the phone die out completely before recharging overnight, but the battery life is still not calibrated properly. i remember reading about a file that you have to erase, how do i get to it and where is it?
[G1 Android Development] texduc:
I still get the icons disappearing problem after wipe and re-install twice. I'm running cyanogen 4.2.5 $ Dark Dream 1.4 What should I do to fix this?
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
@Cobra281: The file is /data/system/batterystats.bin Delete it after you've done what you've done (discharge, recharge, then delete)

@r0mmel: What you pasted is the Compcache memory under swap (24MB default CM setting, but this is NOT swap). I don't use Compcache, plain Linux swap always worked best for me. I generally use 96 or 128MB for my swap partition (currently 128...or actually, right now I don't have it on, but I occasionally switch it on with the 'swapon'). If you want to try it, just switch off CC, and run swapon from the terminal. Some people say 128 is too much swap, personally I haven't had any problems, and it allows me to occasionally try some Hero or Sense ROMs. With CM, you will be good to go even with 32 or 64MB. But you have to partition your SD card. I just can't be bothered to go through partitioning (again) so I just leave it at 128 :)

@Dead2hill: USB tether works out of the box on Win7 - I have it virtualized in my Linux, no ADB or anything set up, I just tried the plain old plug'n play. It installed the default driver, see the attachment for details. I think the driver from HTC sync is still your best bet (unless you can find a driver like Win7's to download for XP).
