I can't seem to get my camera to work with any 2.1 ROM. Can anyone help? Whenever I try to open the camera app it opens fine and everything but where it should be showing the camera it's just black. I had this problem with CM v5.0.7 and messaged Cyanogen about it and he said it was my radio and that I could either downgrade it or wait for v5.0.8. I have downgraded my radio and it still isn't working. Anyone know what I can do to get it working?

when ever I boot into FastBoot the info that comes up is

DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA10000)
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.23.02
Apr 20 2009, 15:30:43

My phone info

Phone: G1
SD:Class 6 8GB Fat 32/Ext3/Linux-Swap
ROM:Complete Eclair v.2.2.1
Recovery:Amon_Ra 1.7.0

thank you in advance for any and all help offered and let me know if you need anymore of my phones info.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Sorry jc... I have no idea what could be causing that problem. The only thing I can suggest is to follow the flashing guide I just finished writing and see if that clears up the problem.
[G1 Android Development] eNNtOXX:
is there a draw back from moving the apps by just selecting move (from Settings->Applications->Select Application) once they are already installed on phone's internal memory?

or do you recommend uninstalling from internal and reinstalling once you have A2SD selected?

just curious...
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
I just finished updating the FAQ post and finished writing a complete flashing guide.

Could the various people that have been giving support on this thread check it out and PM me if you think anything needs to be changed or added?

Edit: I'm home sick today... so this is the last post from me for at least the rest of the day.
[G1 Android Development] gninoked:
I just tried the new optimized zip and exactly the same thing happens. No change from before.
[G1 Android Development] TheLaughingMan:
very nicely written :) I love the guide you wrote! It should really help people with flashing correctly and hopefully take any confusion out of it.
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
ADWLauncher

any chance you would test the script of mine?!?

# lucid -p ADWLauncher

it should work to put ADW over the default Launcher.apk
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
For future reference, enter 'su' then press enter before starting fix permissions.

For the record, you can still fit a lot of apps on the internal memory. With DangerSPL and ~30 apps installed, I still have 30MB free. When I was running CM4, I routinely had as little as 10MB free and everything ran fine.

It's definitely too large. Unless Cannon re-optimizes it further, you'll have to switch to DangerSPL before installing it.
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
ADWLauncher

ok .. one moment .. updating to 2.00.33 .. just found a bug
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
ADWLauncher

sorry .. i get ahead of myself .. NOW it

should

work just fine with the changes i just added
[G1 Android Development] jc1337:
Okay, I will try. Thank you for your response.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Not at the moment! The flashable zip that Cloverdale created for ADW 0.7.8 only works on CM5.0.8-test3, so until he makes something compatible with other Eclair ROMs, we're stuck on 0.7.7 (unless you know fastboot, there are instructions for that in the ADW thread).
[G1 Android Development] vroomr4:
Great work! You made everything so easier for me by having a nice oem-like black theme and added the adw launcher and multitasking mod.

FYI, there's a menu in spare parts for enabling compcache and swap. Don't even touch this!! As long as you have a swap partition already on your phone, you don't need to touch those settings. I changed it to swap, and it slowed my phone down. I could no longer play from pandora and multi task, it would shut down. So I disabled it and restarted, and same thing. Then tried compcache+swap, restart, and same thing. So I just wiped and reloaded the rom, and I can multitask with pandora playing in the background now. =]
[G1 Android Development] problem1:
this is the smoothest eclair rom i have ever laid my hands opun
[G1 Android Development] s1n3rgy:
Can i do that via RA? what would be the sizes on a 2 gig SDcard i ordered a 16gig yesterday for 15 bucks w00t w00t...

If you can let me know..
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
Partition

you can manipulate partitions via Terminal and/or Console in Recovery .. but the commands are a bit in-depth and require a basic knowledge of linux or dos command structures to successfully do this
[G1 Android Development] mgstealth:
Is this a glitch or does this ROM automatically turn on swap of it detects a linux swap partition?
[G1 Android Development] TheLaughingMan:
lol "smoothest eclair" - I cannot help but picture some man stroking a pastry
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
Everything is working fine but ive been thinking of uninstall all my apps turning on A2SD n reinstalling them back.. becuz everytime i run Advance Task Killer i always have like 15M memory available to about 25M memory available i was hoping to have a bit more do you think that'll will help or should i not even bother..
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Moving your apps to the SD won't give you any more free RAM, no. Moving all your apps to the SD will only give you more free internal ROM storage.
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
Memory

what he said .. available memory is unaffected by the number of apps installed .. there is a difference between memory for running apps and memory for storage .. moving apps to the sdcard increases your storage capacity and not available memory
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
Another question if i would go into recovery n do a wipe on battery status would i have to reinstall the ROM or i can just wipe it n restart the phone n everything will be ok?
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
So is there something i can do to increase this?? to get more memory??
[G1 Android Development] shawn1224:
What font is that?
[G1 Android Development] grinz78:
i have fixed it.

thanks. now...

another question for forum writers.

i have 2.1, if i want 2.2.1 without going crazy, what i have to do? nandroid backup, wipe, flash firmware, nandroid restore?

tnks
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
Memory

that's what people are doing with swap .. the only way to increase the memory on android is to buy a new phone .. it is a hardware thing .. just like the RAM on a computer
[G1 Android Development] Cannon202:
For some strange reason,today I felt like trying this swap thing out on 2.2.1 to see why people were using it even though it wasn't recommended...Any way I turned swap on with Firerats patch and downloaded Swapper2 and set everything up. After that my phone started acting up every time I switched to landscape or opened my keyboard and started doing random reboots. Everything was fine without the swap as far as speed and memory...I dont see why everyone wants to take the risk using swap:cool:
[G1 Android Development] eadred:
I've never experienced anything like that using swap. Only advantages, huge advantages!
[G1 Android Development] rudeguy:
sorry I never got around to posting the video. I boogered up my wrist pretty bad and am one handing it for a while :(
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
Awesome. Nice work. And with the new kernel, We can use this on our Fender/ Mytouch 2.1..... Even though im starting to think im the only one that knows that lol.

Will be flashing this tonight, but Im so in love with my Slide port lol
[G1 Android Development] pyckvi:
This is by far the best 2.1 rom ive tried! too bad it has no 3D. but on how speedy the rom is it makes up for no 3D! thanks cannon you the man!
[G1 Android Development] rufh_s:
that's quite strange really :confused:

"heads" up then :p you have much imp. thing rather then flashing this :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
This works for sure on the newer MTs? I'll add that to the FAQ post.
[G1 Android Development] rufh_s:
no 3d? but it does has 3d gallery isn't it?..well i don't need anything else just curious what else is 3d
[G1 Android Development] jmhecker:
Looking at my error of:

link_image[1910]: 69 could not load needed library '' for '/system/bin/sh' (load_library[1107]: Library '' not found)CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE

Would manually pushing /system/lib even work? That error looked like it is not getting the library name to load (could not load needed library '' for 'system/.....).

EDIT: I pushed /system/lib/ over manually via adb, and I still get the same error.
[G1 Android Development] eadred:
Couls someone please give me a hint on how to activate my swap partition? Many thanks
[G1 Android Development] jibbz:
wooooowwwww yes!!!!!! finally i been waiting for this rom for so long., this is like one of the best roms out there n im pretty sure its even better now., im downloading now n soon to flash.,

GREAT JOB CANNON202., UR THE BEST!!!!
[G1 Android Development] jibbz:
well for me i used theunlockr one touch or something like tht rooting n the swap came wit it...idk if tht helps sorry...
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
It's in the first post... and if it's not there, then it's at least somewhere in this thread. It's not that long yet... I know I saw it, I just don't remember where and I'm at work right now.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
That's not it - that is just for formatting your SD card to have a swap partition.
[G1 Android Development] eadred:
I see info about a2sd not about swap. I have 256mb swap partitionbut the ROM does not seem to use it

it's on page 7.
[G1 Android Development] asb123:
so 3d games dont work?
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
This is based on CM5, which has working 3D, so yes they should.

I'm not sure why someone earlier in this thread made a comment about no 3D.
[G1 Android Development] rufh_s:
just download "swapper" from market and you are ready to go if the rom is not using
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
You know what... my bad. I read your post wrong. I do most of my stuff here while I'm at work - it's been a busy day. Sorry about that.

Check out FRs all-in-one patch thread. Since CE2.1 is based off of CM5 he says it will work with this too.

I'll be updating the FAQ/Patch post for this thread later tonight once I have a chance to flash CE2.1 and play with it.
[G1 Android Development] ukG1freak:
It maybe just me, but the LED issue (Will not flash to users settings unless screen off) which CM5 has is also on this ROM (If it's based exactly on that)... May need to add this to the Bugs section in the first post.

Edit: Ths is when using apps like Handcent / Chompsms. Sorry I take back the reporting this as a bug issue. It's well known across all the 2.1 ports. Apologies!
[G1 Android Development] jibbz:
how come there is no gmail??? i really need it

anyone help plz
[G1 Android Development] ukG1freak:
Google mail is part of the Google Apps addon. It's on the first page. Flash it and you'll have all your usual Google applications (market, Gmail, talk, ect).
[G1 Android Development] hoverauto:
Hi, can someone help me, I put the .zip file on the sdcard booted to the recovery image, wiped data and applied the update.zip and then.....boom i get this message saying I cant apply it. Now my phone's data has been wiped and I cant do anything.

Tried turning on sd storage and then connecting to pc and removing and copying the .zip file again, but I keep getting this message saying cant copy to sd device failure I/O

Tried doing a nandroid restore, it says its completed but when I reboot, it just hangs on the mytouch screen.

Going to try putting the sdcard in an adapter and seeing if it copies that way. hopefully I can flash it then.

Any ideas anyone. btw i'm using Amon Ra recovery image. if that helps in anyway.

Cheers.

[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
That type of thing is happening on all CM5.0.7-based ROMs. It will be fixed in CM5.0.8.

Hey tsheeley or anybody else, I was just wondering what OC do you have set on your phone?

Yesterday I tried 128min 528max with texting and a few phone calls and

I was down to 40% battery life while working an 11 hour shift(10-9pm)...

had to turn off 3g after it got down to 79% at 1pm

Today with moderate texting, little Inet browsering and with 3g on and wifi on(for only 30 mins tho)

I was down to 86% and my phone was unplugged for 5 hours but this time it was set at 245min 384max

and its still fast tho when I had that clocked on CM 5 there was an on and off lag

Currently OC @

245min

384max

Sleep/Standby

245min

528max

Charging

245min

528max

Profiles on, auto-refresh and Set on boot checked

cpu governor on demand

Threshold @ 20%

Still a very stable and fast eclair rom but I want to get the max out of it, so if anybody can share what they have done I would really appreciate it :) thanks!
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
SO is there going to be anything new added to this ROM or is this it Cannon?? BEcuz i really cant think of anything else to be added to it.. Was just checking.. Hopefully you gonna start working on Froyo.. lol
[G1 Android Development] vroomr4:
I think the wifi patch breaks the multitasking mod. I posted before about playing pandora and the music still playing in background after I hit the home key. This was with only the base install. I have since applied the wifi patch, black theme, gapps. And now pandora stops playing at homescreen. Actually I tried applying the mt patches separately and still doesn't work. Not sure what happened now.

edit: ok, so if I let pandora load a bit, like 5 seconds after playing then hit the return key, instead of the home key, it will return to home and play about half the time..
[G1 Android Development] sleepyfu:
Deleted alarm.apk while ago and didn't have any problem. desk clock and alarm are independent from each other. when I set alarm in desk clock, the alarm icon shows up in the status bar.

Comfortaa (true type). I pulled it from the ce2.1 cyanoch themed version.
[G1 Android Development] shafiq265:
Too many pages to check through, so I'll just ask.

Does this work for the Mytouch 3G 1.2?
[G1 Android Development] sleepyfu:
I had the Pandora not stay in on issue on CE2.1 briefly, too bad I don't remember what I did to fix it..... But I can tell for sure the wifi patch isn't the cause. (the wifi patch is a OC multi-task kernel as far as I know)

Try fix-permissions in recovery, then uninstall - install Pandora to see if it helps.

Cliff note: I left Pandora installed on phone, it fixed itself in a day....:eek:
[G1 Android Development] sleepyfu:
Yes. It's actually on the 1st page. Listed in the awesome FAQ tsheeley posted.
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
So far so good a week with CE2.2.1 n so far so good.. Everything still working smooth.. :D:D
[G1 Android Development] rumsey:
I've tried the 4shared links for like 20 minutes but the time just keeps restarting after the 90 seconds. I've tried in Firefox, Chrome, and IE. Would like to test this rom out but the worst file sharing site ever is getting in my way.
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
i Just downloaded it from 4shared to try it on my G1 n it worked perfect for me..
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
Downloaded CE2.2.1 for my G1 wanted to see if i get the same problems as everyone else ill let you know how it goes in the morning..

I partition at Swap 160 Ext 512(4) if it works for me good ill explain the steps i took and maybe it'll help someone else in the long run..
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
I tried loading up the file for you put i was getting a error sorry keep trying 4shared it should be working becuz i just downloaded it about 5 minutes ago..
[G1 Android Development] rumsey:
So after I flashed this, I can no longer install any app with the app manager from any of the file explorers or the market. Apps2SD still shows as enabled.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Do you get an error message? More details needed.
[G1 Android Development] eNNtOXX:
i'm stumped...

well so far so good with this rom

i only have a few hiccups to mention and i'm not even sure if they are related

to the rom install at all or if maybe it's just my lack of experience with android rooting and flashing and all...

1)

i can't install apps to my sd card (8gb/class 6)

- partitions: 96mbs for Swap, 512mbs for ext2 and fat32 for the remainder

-- i didn't go the linux partition for lack of experience

--- i do have A2SD checked as well as Unknown sources

---- my apps in market show what i have installed in the past, but after downloading they do not install

2)

i know i'm rooted cause the radio, spl & rom install/flash worked like a charm and the rom

runs smooth with the recommended fixes installed as well

- when i go into terminal and try to SU i get 'Permission Denied'

i'm stumped and can't find what i'm looking for

maybe i'm just stressed out while looking for it and i keep missing something

if anyone has any ideas please feel free to bash me & hopefully help me learn

what i'm missing so that i can figure it out and make it right

thanks

facebook

i remember reading something from cyanogen that for some reason fb does not sync for G1s .... he said it was fb's fault. that was the case at first until i installed CE 2.1 and fb synced to my contacts. it was nice to click on a contact's photo and see they're status update on the top of the drawer menu that popped out. however, on CE 2.2.1 i can't get it to sync :confused: ... oh well .... hope someone can shed some light on this :cool:

edit: nevermind, fixed it with firerat's patch :o ... confirmed by firerat and cyanogen ... it's the app that's most likely broken :mad: .... fix this sh** fb!
[G1 Android Development] ephayzee:
I too am running into the same difficulties as the posters above regarding Apps2SD. I am also running into problems when loading some apps, specifically Twicca BETA from the market.

Any suggestions?

Aside from that, the rom is running very smoothly for me.

Please let me know of any ideas that may help.

Hello guys

Yesterday Google Maps Navigation was enabled in Spain, and I gave it a try with my Cannon202 2.2.1 ROM. After some drops to desktop it worked, but I can't hear any directions sound... are they included in this ROM or do I have to download them from any place?

Thanks!!
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Damn, that's what I was afraid of. Thanks for letting me know and saving me the wipe and flash then.

What do you think it is that is making it too large? If Cannon does like Cyan used to do when he would put just 1 ringtone and 1 notification sound in the rom and provided the audio folder for download, do you think that would make the rom small enough?

I thought those instructions were for use in Terminal? No fastboot required right?
[G1 Android Development] StreetGuru:
You'll have to download and install from the market the SpeechSynthesis Data Installer (free app).

edit: By the way, thanks for the tip - i live in Barcelona and still hadn't heard about Navigation being enabled. just gave it a go and works brilliantly.
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Hey man, great video. Real informative, I had to save it to my computer for future reference. Can I use your method to do this (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6750207&postcount=1618 or http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6753886&postcount=1626)? Your way seems even easier than the method posted there.
[G1 Android Development] s1n3rgy:
sorry this is off topic but do you guys know what the widget or how to get the time weather widget from the black theme on my g1 2.2.1. Cannon i see it in your screen shots but i can't seem to find how you did it.

Thanx guys
[G1 Android Development] ukG1freak:
It's called Beautiful Widgets. Download it from the Market (costs $1.99 i think?)
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
You can do it via RA. Go to the console in RA and type 'utility'. He has a really slick menu driven system to format your card. All you have to do is enter the values when it asks and it will do all the grunt work of typing the proper commands in the right order for you. That's how I did mine, but I had to do it via ADB since myTouchs can't use the console due to the lack of a keyboard.

For sizes... 256mb for both ext and swap should be fine. Firerat said once that 256mb for swap was overkill... but, with a big ol' 16gb card, there isn't really any reason why you can't go for a little overkill.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
It does not automatically turn on swap... you'll have to use the Firerat All-in-One Patching Script in the FAQ post to set it to auto-detect after reboot.

It would seem though, that swap isn't recommended for G1s... I've seen a couple reports now of it causing issues when you go to flip the keyboard open. Cannon has reported it along with a few others.

I've been running swap on mine for about a week now with no problems. I think I'll wipe today though and reflash with the newly optimized 2.2.1 that Cannon released a few days ago... but this time leave swap off and see how it goes.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Keep in mind though that free memory is just sitting around doing nothing... so whether you have 15 or 25 free, it's still just sitting around waiting for something to happen. If you want to try and trim what apps run for various background activities, check out Autostarts from the market.

Check out the screenshots... you'll find all sorts of interesting stuff going on.

If you use a different app for your sms/mms instead of the default Messaging, you can trim that from the startup. MyBackupPro trys to report your location on startup, there is no need for this... and there is no reason for Mabilo Wallpapers to start with your phone either. There is also no reason why Pico TTS (that's the text to speech) and Slacker need to know when you install a new app. You can also trim unused items out of the widget menu too... that's the Widget Updating section in the screenshot.
[G1 Android Development] txspaderz:
I'm having an audio issue I can't figure out with 2.2.1

Pandora just won't play through the speaker, it only plays through the headset.

Any idea's on getting this working?
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
There was someone else on the thread that mentioned the same thing about the random reboots. I'm thinking it's something isolated to the G1s... but without one to test it on, I can only make a guess.

I've had swap on for about a week now with no issues. I'm home sick again today though, so it might be a good day for me to wipe and reflash and do some experimenting.
[G1 Android Development] txspaderz:
I was having that problem as well, as soon as I enabled swap, I started getting random reboots, and sometimes had an even harder time getting my G1 to start completely. logcat showed it stopping right after granting swapper2 root privs.

I had to rewipe & flash. Back to 98% :)
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Try the Meltus Louder Volume Hack. As an experiment last week I tried listening to my voicemail via the speaker, it was so quiet that for a second I thought it was only coming through the headset... but after flipping the phone back and forth right next to my ear I discovered that it was just REALLY quiet. Use method 3 by LucidREM for the install.... or, if you have a file manager with root, you can copy/paste the hack files in /system/etc... either method will work.
