What xaueious means is that flashing a radio or SPL through recovery has been proven dangerous. We don't fully understand why, but we do know that you run close to 0 risk if you flash through fastboot instead. Danger has been shown running on old 1.x radio's before, only if they are flashed through fastboot.
[G1 Android Development] AustinAce:
Oh hahaha alright I get it thanks for clearing that up for me. :)

Sorry! Process System is not responding

i don't know what i have done to the phone. since i flash cm5-t5, i get warning "Sorry! Process System is not responding" everytime I reboot the photo and then unlock it. I did try to wipe and flash back to cm5-t4, i still get the same warning.
[G1 Android Development] cracksmurf:
Thanks for the info Xaueious. I looked more into this and found the following:

Great guide i just placed it in the bible
[G1 Android Development] cracksmurf:
Thanks Royalknight. I figured some people could get some use out of it. And it helps me update my procedures as people kindly let me know of better ways to do things.
[G1 Android Development] cracksmurf:
So you had test 4 running good, and flashed test 5 over it correct? No other changes? Upon booting up when you attempt to unlock you get the above error message?
[G1 Android Development] sagementor:
i don't remember. i can eliminate the problem by swipping the ext partition. however after i add back some apps, the problem appears again.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
I am having the same problem. The test5 is fine until I try to restore my apps through recovery. When it boots up it is really slow even with swap enabled. I'm going to try to restore my apps manually and report back. What a pain!

hi all after i flash to the latest rom, i had some error on some of the apps "The application has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

anyway to solve it?
[G1 Android Development] rynosaur:
I agree--flashing images in terminal emulator is also dangerous--I bricked my beater G1 that way. I'm with lbcoder when he says flashing that requires a bootflag/mode back to recovery is dangerous. Why that is only HTC can say, I'd guess.

You need to use fix_permissions in terminal emulator.

Using SWAP is not recomended for 5.0.7, so better is not posting this in GUiDE!
[G1 Android Development] Bzerk1:
test 7 is out now. do we still take these actions to setup?
[G1 Android Development] cracksmurf:
I left this in under the optional section for those who may wish to install it. I personally run it since I notice significant speed boosts making my g1 much more usable. I have about 2 megs of free ram on a fresh install of 5.0.7. But yes the general consensus it that swap is not recommended. Even Cyanogen has stated this many times.
[G1 Android Development] cracksmurf:
Updated for test 7. Sorry for the delay. Also, I hope to fix the changes in regards to using fastboot instead of recovery for spl and radio that I've been meaning to update as soon as time is available.
[G1 Android Development] :
I assure you this wasn't due to the radio. ;)

Good guide for noobs. :P A lot of people don't know about JIT or how to do it/overlcock kernel or how to do it. This throws it all together in one neat little guide. I'm just glad it's not another "How-To Root!!" -.-

Oh yes, remember to put in there that this swap is worst than all others on sdcard life. Cyanogen tried making it more friendly because no one wants to listen, but swap on these ROMs (cyanogenmod 5) is very aggressive and will suck life right off your sdcard.
[G1 Android Development] NtilUrEarsBleed:
For those of us who enabled swap, and want to disable. How would we go about it. I've tried swapoff..... but it doesnt seem to work like it has on the cm4 series
[G1 Android Development] cracksmurf:
If you enabled swap using the method I posted then do the following to disable it.

su

mount -o remount,rw /system

rm /system/etc/init.d/86swapon

sync

reboot
[G1 Android Development] NtilUrEarsBleed:
Appreciate it. I actually just used Root Explorer and tracked the file down and deleted it. Tho now upon reboot, the JIT light isn't on @ boot.
[G1 Android Development] cracksmurf:
The blue light at startup was designated by the following in the 86swapon file:

echo 255 >/sys/class/leds/blue/brightness;

It was an indicator for the swap script being enabled, not JIT.
[G1 Android Development] NtilUrEarsBleed:
LoL oops... Thanx again... With swap disabled speed honestly does not appear to have changed much, if at all.
[G1 Android Development] cracksmurf:
I've been slowly coming over to this decision as well. Much of what I was seeing was likely the placebo effect. I went from CM 4 without running swap, jit, or compcache to running cm 5 with jit, swap, and no compcache. So I was falsely thinking swap had much to do with it. I've recently disabled swap and am seeing no performance loss. Perhaps I'll look into compcache since I really haven't researched it yet.

Oh and I don't know if you have the same issue. It seems like test 7 is using 24 megs swap by default? Was there before I enabled swap, and is there now after I have disabled it. Even when using the swapoff -a command. Are you seeing this as well? I'm sure if I repartition my sdcard and remove swap it will disappear though. I'll have to look into it when I have the time.
[G1 Android Development] :
Does no one care about that more than performance? :P

Question... when you do facebook sync, is the contact pic supposed to show as well???
[G1 Android Development] :
Firerat has created a fix for that. Supposedly facebook isn't syncing.
[G1 Android Development] cracksmurf:
When I first started using swap I didn't know about the new progress in discovering the downfalls of swap. Now that I'm informed and have realized that my system using the newer roms and jit enabled flies even without swap I have started to see the light. Also, hearing lots of the very respected members on here stating that swap is not that good for your device helped with the decision as well.

I will say that my device may have lost a little of it's snappiness on occasion, but it's livable.
[G1 Android Development] MarvinTheAndroid:
Been using this rom today, and I must admit it's damn slick.

Great work Cyan! :D
[G1 Android Development] Tom in AZ:
Ok, well, I am a first time installer today for the Android platform.

I first started by getting the G1 up to Cyanogen's latest 1.6 rom. The methods have changed a lot over the past year or so, and it is much easier now. I find the key is to not panic, and to use a good thought process.

At this point I have running : 5.0.7 test 7 signed with gapps, radio 2.22.23.02 (G1), DangerSPL and it is stable. I have installed the voice updates and the maps updates as well so I can continue to use Google Navigator (which I love).

So far I see that navigator is not being passed info when you try to load an address from the contact list itself, but if you just start to type in the info it works fine.

I did not enable swap, but my SD card is set up for it as per the directions. My SD card is an older 8gb class 2, so I don't want to enable it without finding a nice class 6 card.

I am searching for JitFix since the link in the first post is not working (I admit I have not looked at the other 5 pages to see if there was a new link yet, but will do so when I finish this post).

I will not overclock yet as well since it might bottleneck with the class2 card. The phone so far has been very stable, so it is best left this way.

More thank anything though, I'd really like to that you guys for the guide and also the work on bringing 2.1 to the G1 phone. I think there are a couple few beers that need to go out.

Problem: Am running 5.0.7-DS-test7 on G1...

Hello all- I am running 5.0.7-DS-test7 on a G1. I love it except that SOMETIMES when I get a text message or disconnect from the recharger, my music player will start playing whatever music I played last. I am using the default music player and have checked in sound settings to see if anything has been set that would cause this.

I can't find anything.

Any suggestions? Any one else had this problem?

TIA for suggestions and solutions.
[G1 Android Development] cracksmurf:
I fixed the link for JIT.

I don't believe memory card class has anything to do with your memory card like swap would. You are just speeding up your processor which was underclocked by the factory. I'm running a class 4 sdcard and have a stable overclock at 652mhz.

Also, 5.0.7 has gone stable. Get the ROM.

I'm confused why it is installing the CR_Slide2G1 rom. are you sure you are flashing the right file?
[G1 Android Development] Lukas94:
sorry wrong Thread
[G1 Android Development] Tom in AZ:
5.0.7 Stable installed just fine for me here. Upon boot I found that Apps2SD and unknown sources was enabled. So now it is onto this overclock fix.

Off-track, but should be a simple answer.

So what were these processors actually supposed to be speed wise? Are we actually overclocking them 52mhz and that they are supposed to be 600mhz chips?

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/index....ic-would-you-like-a-pony-v507-test7-05222010/
[G1 Android Development] cracksmurf:
Don't think I stated in the main thread, but for your information whenever flashing rom updates you will need to redo overclock and jit (swap too if you are using it).

On to your question about overclocking. The CPU was designed to run at 528mhz. The G1 was purposely underclocked at the factory to 384mhz to increase battery life. Recently it has been shown to run fairly stable up to 652mhz. (I've been running it at this speed for about a month now). Read through this thread for more info on overclocking and stable speeds. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=679033
[G1 Android Development] Tom in AZ:
Thanks again!! It really helps when us newbies have some great help and info to go on. I am now all set up, except for JIT. I am going to leave JIT off till tomorrow or the day after so I can see the difference when it is enabled.

I did overclock this puppy and purchased the setCPU software. It is almost time to start installing some more apps! (need some sleep thought)

I did try to use the camera button to activate the camera, but it just flashed the desktop without loading the cam. Is this done on purpose, or is it a bug? Everything else seems to work fine! :)

Beer donation fired off from link on the Cyano homepage!
[G1 Android Development] cracksmurf:
No problem, I wouldn't have the basic knowledge about android and our phone without the amazing members of this forum. Because of that I think it's only fair to pass on the knowledge.

As far as the cam issue, i'll have to look into it since I haven't even used the cam in months, lol. But I'm on the same page as you about sleep, so i'll mess with it tomorrow.
[G1 Android Development] cracksmurf:
So it appears I was having issues with my cam button as well. I just never used it to find out. One thing I did note is that the last time I did a wipe was before installing test 3. Just been upgrading since then. So I did a full wipe and installed 5.0.7 Stable. The issue is now gone.
[G1 Android Development] dino1394:
how is jit with the stable release?
[G1 Android Development] cracksmurf:
With both test and stable I received no issues with JIT. It makes the system run great, and boosts my Mflops from around ~2 to 4.3.
[G1 Android Development] Tom in AZ:
Interesting... Ok, I guess I'll have to run the wipe and run the 5.0.7 stable rom again. The phone was pretty good today, lagged a little, but stable. I've been real busy to get to the JIT install. Tomorrow looks like it is going to be an easier day for me. We will work it then I think. Thanks for checking into the camera button issue.
[G1 Android Development] cracksmurf:
Yeah JIT is a fast install. Just copying the files and running the install command, then reboot and your set. I think you'll enjoy the performance boost. =)
[G1 Android Development] :
Sorry I'm so late.

Well, swap isn't so horrible that you should never use it even if your life depended on it. It actually works for multitasking, and most sdcards are able to handle it.

However, swap is NEVER NEEDED! You can still do everything as normal, it just adds a little extra space for when you're playing a radio and browsing the web (I'm using these two because online radio applications and the browser are probably the two largest memory hogs and two most common programs that get ran in concurrence). However, most people generally don't use their phones browser unless they have to. I'm sure everyone here prefers a desktop for browsing the web. It doesn't hurt to turn the radio off for 5 minutes while you get done what you need to get done on the browser then go back to the radio.

In the end it breaks down like this, and the only persons I've ever heard say this is me & Firerat:

If you absolutely need swap and multitask every time you use your phone - cool - get it (or turn it on).

If you don't really multitask large memory-hogging applications - cool - get rid of it (or turn it off).

Now, on Donut it's different (from what I can understand.) 2.1 seems to bash swap a little too roughly, and I'm sure this will murder a class 2 or something low like class 2 - 4. Donut on the other hand seems to be much more tolerant. I don't need swap - but I have one on my Donut ROM just because it's not so harsh on it. And when I switch to cyanogen's latest 2.1 - I leave swap off.

Sorry, I know that's long, but its food for thought.
[G1 Android Development] Tom in AZ:
When doing the wipe, will I also need to reload the gapps file as well?
[G1 Android Development] cracksmurf:
When flashing an upgrade to a rom:

Flash rom upgrade.

Google apps will automatically carry over.

Swap, Jitfix, and Overclock will have to be redone

Facebook fix will automatically carry over.

When doing a full wipe and flash rom.

Flash rom.

Flash google apps.

Swap, Jitfix, Overclock, and facebook will have to be redone.
[G1 Android Development] cracksmurf:
Indeed swap does help a lil bit with multi-tasking. However, I am running cyanogen's 2.1 as well only have a class 4 memory card. The gain in multitasking, though its nice, isn't worth the risk of running swap on my setup. But thank you for clearing up the specifics of swap for me and everyone. Swap is one of those things that is still highly discussed over, and there doesn't seem to be a straight forward answer for people on whether they should enable it or not. The best we can do is get as much accurate information like this and make an educated decision based on our own usage and setup.
[G1 Android Development] Arkain2K:
Seriously, do we really need to have an often-repeated discussion about swap in every single topic? Especially when the points being touch are essentially the very same thing over and over again?

JITFIX Install error

I took the plunge, did a day of research, found all the guides and My G1 is rockin the 5.0.7 (though it reboots at times, but i think it's my used G1, not the ROM)

I've disabled the SWAP, overclocked and patched FB, but JITFIX is not working as it should

I've followed the directions and checked where dalvik-cache is 1st (on SD) and when I do the "sh" command i get this:

cp: write error: No space left on device

cp: write error: No space left on device

cp: write error: No space left on device

JIT INSTALLED

The next line asks me to install the fix.

I tried said "(Y)es" a day ago and it froze my G1.

I restored from the Nandroid backup (YAY!) so I assume the error messages meant more than the "installed" message.

I've searched and cannot find anything on this error.

Any thoughts?

Thank you!
[G1 Android Development] Tom in AZ:
Thank you very much again!
[G1 Android Development] cracksmurf:
First of all, the conversation of swap was just a side conversation between a couple people here. This thread is mainly here to help people with a few of the problems that they may run into during the upgrade process, ask questions about the modifications so they better understand what they are doing to their phones. I don't see whats wrong with talking about these things if it helps people come to a better decision on whether or not to use swap or any of the other modifications.

No offense, but people will talk about what sparks their interest. Would you walk up to people on the side of the road, jump into their conversation without even introducing yourself, and then start complaining about what they are talking about? No, because that's rude. So I don't see why anyone should do that here. These forums are are just digital versions of peoples conversations, and should have the same level of respect whether you can see the person in the flesh or not.

On top of that this is a technical forum where people converse about the emerging android technology. The general nature of any technological conversation bases in the key feature of the scientific method; and that is asking questions. You ask those questions to better understand the workings of other things. And you converse what you have learned with other learned people so that the combined knowledge can grow.

In the end this thread covers a pretty broad range of topics. Basically everything from rooting your phone, to upgrading spl and radio, to installing modified roms, and all the other modifications you can install afterward. So if the flow of the conversation wants to touch on things that have been said elsewhere; then so be it. I encourage everyone to bring knowledge based on past experiences to my thread. It will benefit the overall quality of their posts. I think what hurts these threads the most isn't the repeated conversations about topics that have been discussed before, but the constant threads and posts by people who are simply complaining.

So my request to everyone, If you wish to contribute to the conversations and knowledge within my thread please do so. But I ask that you leave the flaming at the door.
[G1 Android Development] cracksmurf:
I have had this problem once before. It occurred for me not only when trying to install JIT, but also swap (when I still used it). Basically any time I tried to do something in terminal that required writing to the system. For the life of me I can't remember doing anything special to solve the problem. May of just went away with wipe/flash, or maybe even just and update flash. I'll keep my eye out for more info on this problem for you, and let you know if I find anything.

Also, were you experiencing reboots before you made all these changes? I know that if you overclock too high for your system that it can cause system instability and even reboots. Even though all the processors are technically the same, they can come out of the factory with minor differences that can affect performance. Perhaps you can try dialing down the speed of your processor, and see if it makes a difference in regards to reboots. As I stated earlier these processors specs are factory 528mhz. On my phone i'm running at 652mhz and though it runs stable for me others might have to go a little lower. Heck I may be able to go even higher, but after reading through the info from the link I placed in the main post this is the most I am willing to attempt.
[G1 Android Development] soundwave4:
thanks for the insight cracksmurf.

My system *is* rebooting randomly, though its usually when the phone is sleeping, which is the odd part...my sleep speeds are 352/245.

my working speeds are 654/654 and has rebooted a couple of times while I was using it.

I've changed the cpu back to 528/528 and rebooted a few times to make the the settings stick and I still; get the write error messages when I try the JIT fix.

Is there a way to change from 5 home screens to 3 on this build? or am I confusing it for the 5.0.8 build?
[G1 Android Development] cracksmurf:
5.07 uses the default home app, correct? I know Cyanogen implemented Adw launcher in his newer builds. I don't think it was possible to change number of home screens in default launcher. You can use any other launcher/home screen though. This includes the adw launcher that you are refering to. It will run just as easily on 5.07 as it did in 5.08.

http://jbthemes.com/anderweb/

Only thing is the version included in 5.08 was slightly modified by Cyanogen for his release.

I could do this pretty easily with my old xperia. Now my Touch Pro 2 has a new crappy BT stack that won't let other programs handle it.

Is there any program like e.g. csdevctrl that will turn on bluetooth while receiving a call on Touch Pro 2. Is there a way to remove this BT stack and put the older one for compatibility reasons?

For "christ's sake" I can't even create a shortcut to turn it on manually. I have to navigate this horrid and slow BT stack UI to just turn it on.

Not sure this is in the right forum since it's really a general WM question, but anyway...

I want to be able to view my today screen since it contains all my appointments etc even when the screen is locked.

I guess a transparent screen lock would solve the problem, but I havent found one yet.

Is there one?

Another solution would be something that kept the screen locked until I press the power button. Then it would be easy to unlock but still locked when it's not in use so I dont make calls etc without knowing it.
