You'll have to wipe (all, including EXT if you're using it) and flash 4.5. Once your apps are installed, run fix_permissions or if you have any FC.

I use Titanium Backup (apps) & MyBackup (for data). It sucks to re-install, but it's much easier than doing each one-by-one. I haven't been watching the CM6 posts, so maybe there is an easier way now, but I think it's wipe/re-add
[G1 Android Development] wendellc:
Tired of reinstalling apps manually after every wipe....your best bet is to purchase the full version of Titanium Backup from the market.
[G1 Android Development] BigFellor:
Thanks, but here is my problem ... that's over my head. Can you explain this fix_permissions thing?
[G1 Android Development] MrMind10:
loving the boot animation. :D
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
This is how you run fix_permissions

open terminal

type SU <enter>

allow terminal SU permissions

type fix_permissions <enter>

Let it do its thing.
[G1 Android Development] tbaxter08700:
Thanks pal I'll try them.
[G1 Android Development] TmobileDash12:
Just curious, when you guys go to settings>about phone,

does it say mod version Chromatic 4.4-ds?
[G1 Android Development] qwerty3656:
What is the thinking on Swap, Comcache and JIT for a G1? I see Swap is enabled by default, but I have seen people suggesting you disable Swap (when people complain about a slow response).

Looking for suggestions for good/stable G1 setings.

Also, is there any reason to run the Firerat patch in terminal? I understand that the ROM runs it by default at startup.
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
whoooops that was my bad...its 4.5 I promise! :)

No need to run the patch manually. I think swap is lame because it destroys SD cards (Just lost my 16GB card after ~1yr) but with a G1 it might be needed. SO leave that as is, but I don't recommend anything over 32MB of it (your partition size). Compcache I do recommend now (since stable CM6) and JIT will not do anything but cause instability on a G1 (due to low memory amounts). Hope this helps.
[G1 Android Development] unk2009:
Chromer, thanks again for an awesome ROM...I was reading through the posts and something caught my attention...On the previous Froyo ROM's(Chromatic) I always used swap(it was automatically set 32mb) but on a recent post, you suggest using compcache...Do I have disable swap(and if I do how would I do that) ? Is Compcache automatically enabled ? My device is a MT3G (32b) 1.2(I think,it's almost a yr old)

Once again, thank you for all the hard work that you put into your ROM's for us to enjoy...
[G1 Android Development] BigFellor:
Thanks for helping us noobs out ....
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
OR.. Download Rom Manager from market, It has a Fix Permissions Option that works perfect.

Im off to flash. Really dont want to wipe from CM stable lol, Guess Ill find out if its necessary in a few minutes.

As always, yours are the fastest.

EDIT-- DUUUUUUUDE... The new boot animation is by far my favorite I have seen. Its just perfect.

I just flashed over CM 6 stable with no problems whatsover...... So far lol. Cleared the cache and running fox permissions now for the hell of it, But, its much smooter then base CM6. Even the new Nexus LWP on the market is running perfect with no slow downs when scrolling through screens.
[G1 Android Development] kmilof:
hey quick question, do i need something like the Ebi1 Port for cm 6, for this? i installed in my 32a magic, and doesn't past the first boot, tried a couple of times, but the same, i ask this because with cm6 was the same, 'till i installed that little thing..

ty!
[G1 Android Development] TmobileDash12:
anyne know if swap+compcache is stable for this rom?
[G1 Android Development] Evil_Droid:
This Roms Great. Awesome job. The only thing though,for some reason..the market cannot download the Google Maps update ..keeps saying Failed. I force stopped and cleared the market. Everything else downloads just fine? Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] tbaxter08700:
Can anyone tell me what wiping the EXT partion does? Doest it wipe my data and also will I have to re-partion my SDCard?
[G1 Android Development] itradio:
If you have any apps on your SD card using the a2sd hack (not the froyo to FAT), it will wipe those apps, so make sure to back them up (see previous posts).

Just make sure to wipe everything, including your data in recovery before flashing or you'll go in the soft bootloop forever.

and no, you will not need to re-partion the card, just wipe and flush... i mean flash
[G1 Android Development] pepone1234:
Finallly I could install this chromatic version installing before it the cyanogen rom and after that and without wiping flashing the chromatic.

Everything seems to be ok.
[G1 Android Development] tbaxter08700:
Ok thanks pal. Just one more question, how do I find out what's on my EXT partion? Will my titanium backup data be on there?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
Titanium backs up your EXT and puts in on the FAT partition until you want to reinstall.

about the EXT... i think this new APPS2SD binds it to /Data/App <---- don't quote me on that one.
[G1 Android Development] kmilof:
can be used in magic 32a??
[G1 Android Development] mistere372002:
Can anyone tell me why all the installed apps takes a long time populate once i reboot. This happens on every boot.
[G1 Android Development] itradio:
Are they in you're phones internal space or your SD card (Fat or EXT)? If they're stored in your internal, I don't know, but if they're on your SD card, it doesn't read your apps until you open up the app drawer.

I could be wrong, but I've had my apps on my EXT forever and am used to the populate time after every boot up or if the launcher closes for whatever reason.
[G1 Android Development] mistere372002:
They are in my FAT on the SD.
[G1 Android Development] itradio:
You could either trim the FAT (pun slightly intended) and put some of your apps in your internal memory, but after every bootup after it does it's thing, open the app drawer, even if you're not going to use it, just so it populates

Anyone else have any suggestions or thoughts on this?
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Not as is, you will need to find the patch for 32A devices. Its in this thread somewhere :)
[G1 Android Development] skippy214:
you should try to uninstall your maps, then reboot, and down load new one from market, it worked for me.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
I keep getting on my home screen "System is not responding" at random intervals....I guess it happens mostly when the screen is off and I come back and wake up the phone. Anyone got a solution? I experienced this on another CM6 build but I forget which one.
[G1 Android Development] patriot1973:
Hmmm...did you take out wireless tether app? Nowhere to be found in 4.5.
[G1 Android Development] malus83:
Hi people

Just for reporting I upgrage from 4.4 to 4.5 and I have no problem.

1) fix_permissions

2) upgrade to 4.5

3) fix_permissions

the only problems was a single soft-reboot after 12 hours and a little problem with the market (it didn't start) that I fix cleaning the market cache.

ps: beautiful boot animation :)

malus
[G1 Android Development] MrMind10:
Nooo! Where is wireless tether?
[G1 Android Development] droidmage:
Wow the new boot animation is sick!!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] ppurcell:
Im a little confused... HTC Magic 32B

I have Internal Memory (~290MB with 254MB Free).

I have Internal RAM (~95MB with 19MB free)

SD Car with 512MB EXT Partition

I gather I have to get as much "Free" RAM as possible to make Phone snappier.

I assume my APPS are on EXT through mutliple reboots.

If I go into Settings/Applicaitons and "Move to SD" then that Apps disappears (moving it back restores it)

If I use FireRats patch V1.39 and use Apps2Ext I get a warning message "less than 10 MB RAM" and all my apps disappear.

So I ask...

Question 1 - I dont use Firerats Patch anymore. (I assume I just WIPE ALL, Install 4.5 and log in. Let it Sync (wait a while), change SETTINGS as advised and then reboot. Coming from 4.4 (Froyo) my APPS will be downloaded and installed on APPS2EXT.

Question 2 - How do I get more "FREE" RAM

Cheers Peter
[G1 Android Development] MrMind10:
Same here

Sent using dope ass Chromatic Magic using xda app.
[G1 Android Development] billquinn1:
Don't confuse Ram with file storage space. Where the apps are stored does not change the amount of ram used. Cut down on widgets and use just compcache for your best hope on the low ram situation. Do not use task killers. They don't work the same with froyo and use ram themselves.
[G1 Android Development] unk2009:
Is anyone having issues with search? 8 out of 10 times when I attempt to search, by voice or typing it in, the search bar goes to about 80 percent and goes back to the home page without finishing the search or going to to search engine at all ? I've wiped flashed and wiped again, still having the same issue...any sugesstions or help would be gretly appreciated, thanks again for such a great ROM...
[G1 Android Development] LOONEyRR:
yo! chromer, next beer's on me like i promised. cheers! :D

Confirmation number: 5RP34237XW310472A

thanks for the rom bro.
[G1 Android Development] LOONEyRR:
btw, badass boot animation.
[G1 Android Development] LOONEyRR:
1 more thing. lol. does the new firerat patch work with this rom? cause cm6stable was havin issues with it. ima try it anyways. but if anyone had insight before i did it...then boom. :D ha
[G1 Android Development] qwerty3656:
Don't the "Google apps" have something that can read a WORD document? Almost all my other ROM's had something built in, but I am not seeing anything here?
[G1 Android Development] billquinn1:
Open one of your previous roms you downloaded that had that and look for an app with "quick office" in the name. Take it out of the zip file and install it.
[G1 Android Development] MrMind10:
Thanks Man.
[G1 Android Development] unk2009:
Would I be able to flash 4.5 over CM Stable? Just a thought, still trying to get search to work....(works on CM Stable, but not on 4.5....)

4.5 is awesome, thank you Chromersmith
[G1 Android Development] he3:
really? dang.
[G1 Android Development] v3dran:
Is anyone else having problem with Fancy Widget or Tajm widget or any other clock/weather widget? After about 15-30 minutes of boot time, it just freezes out and doesn't show correct time anymore...i had the same issue with 4.3 version of Chromatic, but 4.4 worked just fine. Did full Wipe, locked home in memory, but it's still there..besides that, everything is just perfect, speed, bootanimation ;), boot speed is MUCH better than previous version..just that tiny little thing is really anoying...

Sorry if my English is bad, but I think you'll understand ;)
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:

[G1 Android Development] droiddv:
I have a question. I rooted a test phone last night. It has a engineering spl, with the sec off. I could not get the fastboot to see the phone. So this is what I did. I used a SAPPIMG.nbh from droid sector to push the phone back to 1.5(cupcake), Then I used Flashrec, to flash amon's sapphire 1.7.0 recovery, then I booted to recovery and wiped, and flashed this rom. The phone is rooted and the rom seems to be working fine, however I am getting a legitimate system update. Is this normal. Or since I have this Engineering SPL does the phone still except system updates normally?
[G1 Android Development] patriot1973:
I downloaded the latest apk from the developer's site and it's working fine for me. Here it is:

[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
Just flashed this over CM6 stable without a wipe, and it is working great. Seems much faster than CM6.
[G1 Android Development] MrMind10:
question. Why do i get DownloadFile.apk on the sdcard Download Folder everytime i download something from the market? Is it normal and can i delete those files?
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Link doesnt work Chromer[/QUOTE]

Right click and save as :)

Yeah, those can be deleted, not sure why they are showing up...does it in CM6 too.

You shouldn't be getting updates when rooted. I would post this in the general section to get some more eyes on it!
[G1 Android Development] MrMind10:
Thanks Chromer.:D
[G1 Android Development] v3dran:
?? :D Anyone to answer?
[G1 Android Development] lamenomore:
Something is killing it...

Try to install some task manager/killer and add those widgets to "ignore" list... :)

Good luck ^^
[G1 Android Development] v3dran:
OK, I'll try that to, thx on advice ;)..and i noticed something else..when i go to "running services" it says for most of them on the right side "restarting", and for some other there's time counting..could that be a problem?
[G1 Android Development] mejorguille:
Something just killed all my music? All the songs show up but the album art, artist, album, basically all the info besides the title disappeared. I tried multiple music players. Don't know if it's a known issue or not. Not running apps2sd or anything fancy, and I came from a wipe. When I go home later I'll see if the information is still embedded into the mp3 file or if it's gone. I'll see if I can find any way to post logs, but since I'm not getting FC's or anything I don't know how much good that'll do. Was using the 8/31 nightly prior to this with no issues.

Sent from my G1.
[G1 Android Development] splttingatms:
Awesome

Chromer, thanks for such an awesome ROM. You are really active in the forums too, thanks for that.

And as a general tip to everyone, on my MyTouch3G I made a SetCPU profile to throttle down to 122 min/245 max when Screen Off and I have had remarkable battery life.

Thanks again for such a great ROM.
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm that is odd, Can you try going into dev tools (from the all apps menu) and running Media Scanner? That may get it back.
[G1 Android Development] mejorguille:
Didn't work. If I put my sdcard on my computer, all the song information is there. I attached the way my phone looks. Tried media scanner, a reboot, a cache wipe, and both the stock music player and tunewiki. I'm about to try a fix permissions, and if that doesn't work, I'll do another wipe. I have what I need backed up anyway. Really weird though that it recognizes that the song is there, can read the song title, but it won't read anything else. I don't think I messed with anything that could have caused it.

EDIT: troubleshooted some more. fix permissions didn't work and I tried booting without the sd card in and putting it in later. I'll do a wipe later tonight.
[G1 Android Development] Modernly:
I've done a search but not found any similar issues (that I relate, at least) to mine so I'll shoot it up here.

I updated from a Donut ROM two days to 4.5 and have had increasingly poor performance on my G1.

When I flashed I did a full wipe from Amon Ra recovery. I let everything sync up. I installed the newest SetCPU and put everything to the recommended settings. Hell, I even did a battery reset (full drain, reset battery stats, full 8 hour charge).

Everything seems to be set correctly but my G1 is simply a fat bastard and takes absolutely forever to do anything. I only have about 15 apps installed. I mostly just use ChompSMS, Evernote and Facebook.

The only thing I've seen kicked around about Froyo ROMs is to do a /system wipe with the script or Clockwork Recovery. But before I start over I wanted to see if anyone had any other ideas for me. Did I screw something up here?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] malus83:
Hi guys

I just report to you that I hosted the last release on my website.

Chromer post it in the OP and in your website if you want. I will hosting the subsequent releases too.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?
[G1 Android Development] droidmage:
Did you go into the terminal and run the fix permissions script in the terminal?
[G1 Android Development] unk2009:
Quick ? when I go into Cyanogen setting(performance, Compcache is already enabled...Do I leave it like that ? The reason that I ask is because in the OP it says that swap is enabled and I thought having both was not good ?

Thanks in advance for your help....
[G1 Android Development] Guitoux:
Just flashed over v4.4 (without wipe) and it sounds good :)

All is working well, thanks a lot ChromerSmith !
[G1 Android Development] Modernly:
I actually did that last night. I'll test today and see if it helps at all.
[G1 Android Development] SneakinNGeekin:
I did a full wipe and went from 4.4 to 4.5.

4.5 was sluggish and slow and horrible compared to 4.4. In 4.5 apps were taking forever to open and backing out of things was slow too. I did the fix_permissions and even rebooted several times and did a factory wipe to start with a fresh 4.5 and still no luck. Went back to 4.4 and its much faster and smoother. I'll stick to 4.4
[G1 Android Development] mjybarr:
This is why I have not moved to 4.5......its a downer to hear that 4.5 isn't running so well, but I believe in Chromersmith to make the fixes. I'm still loving the beauty's of 4.4!

[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Turn compcache off from CMParts and see if it still runs bad for you. I am running 4.5 on my Dream and Magic flawlessly. Both with no swap. So If you have a swap partition, try turning that off as well:

From terminal

su <ENTER>

sh /system/etc/fr-patch138b.txt rev swap <ENTER>
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Anyone else get "system is not responding" on 4.5? I have already fastboot erased system numerous times and done all the wiping/repartitioning stuff. No matter what I still get that when I wake up my phone.
[G1 Android Development] he3:
Thanks much!

Chromer, is this the version thats been packaged in the past?
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Oh noe...just from waking? I get that after a re-boot but I just hit wait and its groovy. Do you have a logcat?

Its the updated version of it, yes.
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Vacation

I will be unavailable until at least Wednesday of next week. Going out of town.
[G1 Android Development] patriot1973:
Yes, I'm getting that occasionally as well.
[G1 Android Development] MrMind10:
Question, I read that swap is enabled by default, the mt3g 1st gen too? if its enabled, do i just turn it off from terminal and reboot?

Compcache upped to 32mb from 12mb.

OC kernel included (must install SetCPU)

Swap enabled by default
[G1 Android Development] Modernly:
This is basically what is happening with my G1 as well. I get the popup to force close or wait box when opening nearly any application. Very discouraging. I'll give 4.4 a try when I get home, my phone is barely useable in this state.
[G1 Android Development] MrMind10:
how do you know if swap is on?
[G1 Android Development] ReTro FuZe:
I Think Itz On By Default...Just Go To The Terminal and do the following:

su#

#sh /etc/fr-patch138b.txt rev swap

it should say that MT3G detected and it will remove the swap...check it out

Also, is it normal for a rooted G1 with a custom ROM on it to take 3 mins or so to boot up?
[G1 Android Development] wasyed:
Does anyone else get a problem with data disconnecting when your on a call. It's weird it wont disconnect if lets say im texting, but if I do something more data intensive like open the browser while im on the phone talking the data icon disapears and data is gone. Sucks because I use the navigation while I talk on the phone with my bluetooth in the car so when navigation is downloading the maps or data for the area itll just disconnect the data service but phone call will remain. I'm getting this with chromatic 4.5 or with CM6 stable. I flashed chromatic 4.5 a few times after full wipes, same thing. Anyone else have this issue?
[G1 Android Development] AsaSpades:
Im lovin this rom but when im using Handcent and I send a text or get a text sometimes I get a force close (about every 10 texts), it wont reopen and neither will the stock messaging app, then a google.apk force closes. Everything is fine after a reboot but my most recent texts are gone, any fix?
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
let your phone die. turn it back on, run it until it dies again. keep trying to turn it on til it dies and worn't turn back on. Then plug it in, still powered off, and let it charge til the light turns green (should take 3-6hrs, patience...). Boot phone, still plugged in, and let LED turn green again. Reboot into recovery. Wipe battery stats and dalvik cache. reboot. let your phone settle for about 20 minutes before unplugging it. this should calibrate your battery.

also, make sure you have SLEEP selected in spare parts>end button behavior.

a g1 running Froyo can take between 3-8 minutes to boot. Remember, chromatic's rom has the firerat script run on every boot, so it'll take a bit longer to boot. also, make sure you have a swap partition and compcache is off.= in cm settings.
[G1 Android Development] SneakinNGeekin:
Is there really anything that much better on 4.5 over 4.4? Other than the dope splash screen?

Because 4.4 runs flawlessly for me and have had 0 issues with any app I've installed or used yet.
[G1 Android Development] Guitoux:
In terminal emulator :

free

This command shows you the state of memory (and the swap) : total / used / free

The v4.5 is smoother on my MyTouch (32b) than the v4.4 !

My configuration :

- compache off

- JIT off

- surface dithering off

- swap partition : 32mb
