I wondered what the heck those things were. I mean, Terminal commands still worked so I thought, "Eh.." But I'm all for a fix, too. Thanks for the heads up.
[G1 Android Development] Unoid:
I installed 5.0.8 after full wipe coming from 5.0.7.

Everything worked fine on my G1 except after I installed facebook from market, I could not sync contacts with google anymore. If I added a contact on the phone it would delete the contact 30 seconds later. I think after facebook it broke something.

Anyone know about this or have a fix? Also batterylife is much worse compared to my N1.
[G1 Android Development] g1junky:
fixed

issues are gone now .. for real this time
[G1 Android Development] jedinger:
So I wiped my 4.2.15 setup and flashed 5.0.8 and the gapps, but when I reboot, I'm still showing 1.6 and 4.2.15. I've now tried the wipe a few times and I'm still getting the same thing. Any suggestions?

Running on a MT3G (Magic 32B).
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
maybe you did something wrong

total guess but maybe you have an old recovery image which flashes 'update.zip' and you have not renamed 5.0.8 zip and still have 4.2.15 named as update.zip

only a guess, but since you have not given any real detail it is my best guess
[G1 Android Development] jedinger:
I downloaded update-cm-5.0.8-ds-signed.zip and gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed.zip and put them in the root of the SD card. Rebooted with Home+Power and selected wipe/factory reset, then flashed update-cm-508, then flashed gapps, and rebooted.

When it came up, I wasn't prompted for gmail sign in and if i went to settings->about phone, it still showed firmware 1.6 and cyanogenmod 4.2.15.1.

I reverted back to my nandroid backup at this point.

From what I read in the instructions, all I should have needed to do was what I did. Did I miss something?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
you are doing something wrong

let me do a very very quick summary

flash 5.0.8

updater-script runs

checks /system/build.prop

if build.prop CM5.0.x , backup gapps

FORMAT SYSTEM

copy 5.0.8 system from zip to /system

restore gapps ( if available )

flash boot.img

you did something wrong
[G1 Android Development] jedinger:
Ok, care to explain? And what's the last flash boot.img actually flashing?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
my point was in capitals, if you did indeed flash 5.0.8 it would have formated system and remove all traces of 4.x.x.x

you are doing something wrong, very wrong
[G1 Android Development] jedinger:
Actually, turns out the only issue was amon_ra not being at 1.7. Looks like I neglected the update from 1.6.2, however, I can't seem to find anything that states it's specifically required, only that some parts may not work.

But so far so good, and this thing is fast as hell now...
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
I'm glad its working,

but it has nothing to do with ra1.6.2

only minor changes between that and 1.7.0

but yeah, cm5.0.8 is fast, can be a bit of a battery drinker if your not careful
[G1 Android Development] jedinger:
I didn't think it had anything to do with RA, but that's the ONLY thing I did differently, so *shrug*.
[G1 Android Development] foole:
there were some bugs with robo defense

I just flash cm 5.0.8-DS yestoday.

My device is adp1

I found some bugs when I run Robo Defense..

at first, can not see clearly the number at the top of the screen.

secondly, it will be return back home screen automatically(quit the game)
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
and everything else runs ok?
[G1 Android Development] Unoid:
deleted. fixed my problem
[G1 Android Development] mdneilson:
Works great! Thanks. :D
[G1 Android Development] Super Jamie:
I installed 5.0.8 on both my G1 and my Magic. I did full wipes before installing, I'm just running a single FAT32 partition on SD card. The Magic has 32Mb compcache, the G1 has no swap.

On the G1, once I go into ADW Settings once, it disappears from the Settings menu. This doesn't happen on Magic either before or after I enabled compcache.

On both handsets, the "Always notify on speaker" option in Sound & Display does not keep its setting. If I untick the option then exit out of the Sound & Display menu then go back in, the option is ticked again.

I also have a feature suggestion: An option to unlock the Lock Screen with the Menu button instead of the slide.

I hope this is helpful, please let me know if I can provide any more info.

Anyone have problems with Random Ringtones.apk? Ever since I switched to 2.1 my ringtones dont play... When I get a call it randomly plays a song from my Music...
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
i have gotten a random ringtone a few times now that u mention it, a couple times for no reason, just a single ring, and then nothing

a couple other times, my phone ringer when a call came in had reverted back to the stock default ringer

edit: to remedy the situation, i've removed all ringtones i never want to hear again, and only have my most used ringtones and notification tones in there...that way, if it chooses to go random on me, its not that random...it also cleared about 4 MB of space on my internal storage
[G1 Android Development] pimpinpanther96:
when using test 4 i remember having 60mb+ of internal phone storage. i checked again tonight since flashing the stable 5.0.8 a few days ago, and it says i only had 10mb free... i enabled apps2sd first thing when i flashed the stable version. however, probably half my apps, for some reason, moved themselves to internal storage. most of them are apps i haven't used lately or even updated in a long time. i wiped data before flashing the update, but left the apps on my ext partition and just did a repair

what would cause them to move themselves to internal? my EXT3 has 600 mb free
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
i dont know, but it will be hard for anyone to help you without some info in your signature (o wait, you dont have a signature:mad:) like what phone you have, etc
[G1 Android Development] :
Hi guys... Wich partition must i choose? ext ext3 ext4 :confused:
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
ext2 seams to be faster but ext4 is safeR (to avoid file corruption & to recover files)
[G1 Android Development] :
where can i find the userinit.sh for ext4?
[G1 Android Development] benoitb85:
I have the same issue: the data seems to get occupied both on the sdcard and the internal storage when I choose apps2sd, limiting the total number of apps that I can install to far less than the 512MB I have on the ext3 partition.

I use Cyanogen 5.0.8 with latest radio and Danger SPL, no swap and default compcache enabled.

Another issue that I had was that QuickOffice was installed in the internal memory (not removable) and eating 4MB. I had to remove the apk manually using adb.
[G1 Android Development] siddharthsai:
Thanks a lot
[G1 Android Development] outsider787:
Anyone else have gmail sync issues?

I'm coming from a 5.0.7, and did a full wipe and installed 5.0.8

Eventhough I have a constant data connection, emails (through gmail client) don't come in except when I use some other app that access the net.

Not 100% sure that's what's going on, but I seem to get notified of emails, and have 5 emails in the inbox. I used to get notified for each and every email separately when they arrived.

Is there some setting which sets how often emails sync? (other then background sync option)?
[G1 Android Development] cyitoh:
Dialer not working

Hey,

Flashed the ROM today. Everything works fast and smooth, but when I press the Green button, I get the message, "The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly..." I can't seem to call anyone. How do I fix this?
[G1 Android Development] Gekx:
Just flashed 5.0.8 so i cant say but I did notice this with older versions. I found that if i didn't go though the Setup Wizard first off but instead go strait into settings... manage apps... Check Apps2SD... then go through setup wizard I didn't have this problem. It seems that somewhere my apps are saved to to Google account so it would auto download them when i signed in the first time. So... Try Checking Apps2SD then go though the Setup Wizard.
[G1 Android Development] zole2112:
V5.0.8 - Issue with contacts...I've seen this before on other roms, never knew why it happened though. After flashing on my friends G1, 2 contacts were mixed up with the picture from one in the other contact. It appears to merge the 2 together even if you edit or delete both contacts entirely and re enter.
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
Hm. CoPilot 8 is working fine for me.
[G1 Android Development] aznchillin:
is this a torrent for the rom or the google addon?
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
How many times do you need to click the copilot button for it to actually start up?

If it always starts up first try, then what version?
[G1 Android Development] aznchillin:
can someone please upload the google addon somewhere else for me? the link and the mirror does not work for me....
[G1 Android Development] billygoat555:
So the LED notification not working is a known problem on this build? I wonder why Cyan didn't note it on the first page? Maybe he doesn't know it? Mine doesn't work either and that's what's keeping me from using this ROM.
[G1 Android Development] rpmccormick:
I blame Six6Sicks and his "only 5-min extra to wipe comment", but I'm going to take responsibility for my part and try to get this back on topic...

1) I am still running test4 (Superbad ver actually). For people that have run both, is this WAY faster? My phone is already running very well and I'm thinking I'll wait until Froyo to wipe+update again, but if this is considerably faster then test4 was for home-screen lag before you kill all apps, or for webbrowsing then I might try it.

2) Is the funky camera-preview bug fixed? (the only bug I have seen in test4)

3) Does the GoogleEarth App run on my G1? (the only app I have seen that wont run on test4 - besides the sync feature of market FaceBook, which is solved by using an old FaceBook version)
[G1 Android Development] t_rob76:
So from what i have seen, LED notification only works when the screen is off. The camera is fully functioning with no fuzzy picture problem and no, Google Earth does not work, i think it is a hardware version check it does or something
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
Nand + ext backup

flash CM5 Stable ( no wipe )

seeing FCs?

get my all in one patch (see sig ) and use the fixp option

then run fix_permissions and reboot

Still not happy?

Nand Restore...........

Oh, and my all in one patch fb option will fix the facebook sync for you,

honestly you are lagging behind if your on a test4 base
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
Just once. And the version is 8.0.0.606.
[G1 Android Development] domenukk:
wooow cyan stable? sounds nice. miss 3Dgallery, though...

now waiting for cyan froyo :P
[G1 Android Development] shadiku:
Thanks cyanogen, even though I just flashed test7 this morning.. :p
[G1 Android Development] billygoat555:
Señor Firerat, do you know of a fix for the LED notification not working?
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
You can push the Gallery3D.apk from Test 5 to /system/app to use 3DGallery like I did.
[G1 Android Development] :
Have this running with 32mb CC (my own script to increase), Firerats dc2x, fixp & lwp patches and renice script to improve call lag considerably (cuts it in half at least) and just have to say amazing work all involved.

What I would like to see is compcache configurable in spare parts and the inclusion of a renice script to improve call lag, I had mailed Cyan with the offer of the scripts but alas I was ignored.

Thank you so much to EVERYONE involved, just because it wrongly in my opinion is called Cyanogen don't let that defer from the fact this is a community project and one hell of an rom! Congrats to all and a massive thank you.
[G1 Android Development] eebmob:
Is there a way to have the 2.1 diaper?
[G1 Android Development] eebmob:
Anyway to get the 2.1 dialer
[G1 Android Development] bessertier:
First, I'd like to say Thanks cyanogen, This is another great Rom that keeps me loving my G1 - when everyone else who doesn't mod theirs is thinking its getting old and useless.

Annnnd to everyone requesting stuff, build it yourself! I don't want cyanogen to pull his thread again! I love TESTING and a finished app is a finished app, if something is missing, I'm 99% sure there's a reason for it.
[G1 Android Development] NJAZ:
I download my 40 apps from the market, setup my 4 email boxes, ringtones and notifications set, streaming radio stations favorited, full reformat of SD card, SD reloaded with images and tunes, bind my DC to my ext ... every single time I flash a new ROM; takes me 1 hour. I never, EVER, have errors; one hour of my time is worth it. While I understand where you're coming from I just can't see how it could take you so long to setup your phone.

As for the ROM: This new CM is GREAT! So fast, so stable. So far I have had absolutely no need for a swap or to enable compcache. Faster and smoother than any 2.1 I've flashed. This is the most highly refined 2.1 I've flashed. This one was worth the wait! I'm coming from Superbad v1.2.5 and while I LOVE Clay's theme work, this ROM is going to be my everyday ROM for the next few days; ridiculously smooth. Thanks again Cyanogen and team! :)
[G1 Android Development] ericscottf:
This is too great.

Everything working well for me so far, enjoy a beer on me!

(Stock G1 1.6 to stable 5.0.7 - my first install)

thanks!

edit: I don't know if it is a 2.1 change or something you did, but the faster blink on the LED for email notification is EXCELLENT.
[G1 Android Development] realcyberbob:
I'm also having a problem with gmail, it doesn't notify me of new emails and when I manually go into the gmail program it just goes back to the home screen instead of my inbox.

any way for me to get a shortcut to spare parts?i use it so much and now its not in the app folder??
[G1 Android Development] I7oobie:
It's under Menu>setting>Spare Parts...
[G1 Android Development] 2rz_taco_sr5:
yeah i know i just want a shortcut on my home screen.... plus i love markstheme and for some reason it removes it from settings :( i actually dont have a way to get to it at all with his theme installed....
[G1 Android Development] loustrk:
Get anycut from the market it will let you make a short cut to your

home screen
[G1 Android Development] n171n:
I had this too, if you go into the contact, and then hit edit, you will see both contacts separately, split by a horizontal line. Then you can hit menu and 'split', sorry I can't tell you the exact text as I'm flashing 5.0.8 right now so can't get into my phone.
[G1 Android Development] n171n:
Maybe move dalvik-cache to ext using firerats magical script: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=679572
[G1 Android Development] d0g:
I'm having major issues with the ADW launcher. It seems to launch from scratch every time I press home. Even if I just check gmail.

I have "keep in memory"checked in spare parts.

Any way to restore default launcher? Or fix this behavior?

Will full wipe help?

It worked, thank you!
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
I had the same problem (although for me it does not make much difference as it only takes a second to load the launcher) but I found that enabling compcache nearly completely eleminates the reloads. As far as keeping the launcher in memory.. anderweb recommends that you don't use this option as the technique used is explicitly warned against by Google. He only included it because a small number of people reported that it helped. So on my mytouch I have compcache enabled and keep launcher in memory disabled. And this works for me. But try different combinations of the two settings. Also using autokiller or some such program may help. And you could always try a cache cleaning app.

its not like a big deal or anything i just want know if its me ... lol

its happen twice in pass 4 days off 2 full charges... :confused:
[G1 Android Development] AustinKnight45:
I had this issue too at about 40% and a hard freeze then I did a 3 finger reboot and it would never get passed the G1 logo, I had to do a nand restore to a another rom. Did you do a fix_permissions in console cause I did and I think that might have something to do with the issue don't know though.
[G1 Android Development] d0g:
Sorry, but can you point me in the direction of how to enable compcache? Is it only through editing conf/init files? I thought I had an app or setting once that did 'easily' ...

Wierd boot loop problem cyan 5.08

If I wipe then flash cyan..5.08 everything boots up and works fine. When I try to reboot the phone it never gets past the g1 screen. So then we 3 finger it and wipe and flash and boom the phone works. Any ideas anyone?

Oh watching it try to boot in adb it seems to loop at the point where it attempts to set the volume to 5 in the boot process. Possibly irrelevant info but figured maybe it would be useful.
[G1 Android Development] SiXiam:
That's weird...

Stuck key?
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
that sounds like an issue that was on 5.0.7testx, what version you using?

yes it works

the live wallpapers that work are plasma, the matrix, beziers, fire, and a few others...these are the free ones in the market that i know will work
[G1 Android Development] cybernetus:
I had this problem too.

Today I have a reboot when my phone gets 100% of charge ...

I believe the 5.0.7 ROM is more stable than the 5.0.8 ...
[G1 Android Development] cybernetus:
I had this problem too on my phone a few days.

My phone has a freeze with an application and I need to recover the last nandroid backup.

When I do this, I reflash the ROM and the phone is back again.

I believe it's a bug on this ROM, because on 5.0.7 I don't have this problems too.

:o
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
There are various opinions on this one and, like anything, it will most likely vary with your phone setup.

As for what is working for myself (I have a MT3G, too):

1. I have "Keep Launcher in Memory" checked

2. NO CompCache enabled

3. 32MB swap FILE w/60 Swappiness.

4. SetCPU (free to XDA members) set at 160mhz(min)/576mhz(max).

#3 is done via Swapper2 (free) from the Market. I use it to create a swap "file", as opposed to a partition (which requires reformatting the card, of course). This way, if you choose to NOT use swap in the future (or it doesn't work for you), you can just uninstall Swapper2 and delete the file from your SD card. I hate having to reformat that card, so this option is a great one. Some people prefer swap, some do not. It's a matter of preference, but in this case, it has done away completely with my home screen "lag."

Give that a try. I will note that after a reboot, you will need to re-enable Swapper2 (even if "enable at boot" is checked in the app). That's the only downside.

One more thing, if you are using an Auto Task Killer, I'd disable auto killing as 2.1 is much better than 1.6 at handling tasks. There has also been word that it can actually slow things down in 2.1, as well. I do keep my Task Killer around, though, but just set at manual, in case I need to go in an put a nail in an app's coffin :) Just remember to add Swapper2 and SetCPU to your "ignore" or "safe" list.

I hope that helps, but, if it doesn't, I'm sure there are others with differing setups that may work for you. Good luck.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
OK, I know a few others have had this issue, but I've yet to find a fix (unless I'm just not searching the correct terms).

I get a bit of interference when listening to music (mp3's). I tried a different set of headphones, just in case, but it's still there. Now, it's not terrible, but it kind of reminds me of a old school record playback. Anyways, I know I've read of others getting that, too.

So, I happened to come across this and was wondering if anyone knew if that was just for a mic fix, or if it applies to the audio, as well? And if you happen to have a fix of your own or know where to point me to, I'd be grateful. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] chief2842:
Wow didn't know live wallpapers worked with this Rom where can I get that patch from I just flashed this rom?
[G1 Android Development] AustinKnight45:
Cool I'll have to wait it out for a .1 or really CM 6 :D O and thanks for the response some times these forums go nuts and questions get lost in the flurry.
[G1 Android Development] russbvta:
no keys are stuck I checked like 6 times.
[G1 Android Development] Ajax1885:
Alright, I've tried this a few times to no avail now. I cannot get 5.0.8 to boot past my G1 screen. I didn't get any responses helping me last time I asked either. (Figured I'd give it some time and went back to Super E and then 5.0.7 while I did)

So I figure I'd ask again. Any ideas why this won't happen for me?

I have the Danger SPL

I'm on the latest radio.

I have re-downloaded and re-flashed at least a dozen times and I've given it half an hour to boot more than half that and yes, I've done every wipe option in the Amon RA recovery from dalvik, ext, and full wipe/data reset, to fix permissions. I just don't understand what could be going on.

Every other ROM flashes just peachy, but 5.0.8 isn't having any of it. :(
[G1 Android Development] AustinKnight45:
Man it sounds like you've done all you possibly can do is your recovery still 1.5.2 like it says in your signature?
[G1 Android Development] Ajax1885:
Yeah, still sitting on 1.5.2 but the only thing I could find that could possibly be wrong with the recovery is it's *possible* inability to wipe all three Dalvik caches. I did those manually and it still didn't happen for me.

It's so bizarre. Everything but Cyanogen 5.0.8 will boot. Not even Firerat's AnySPL version.
[G1 Android Development] AustinKnight45:
Hu well man I don't know try a newer recovery just for the hell of it and if that don't work start saving up for a Droid X:D jk no but not really I think I might jump ship for it :cool:
