Long time mod user, first time poster

Having a similar problem as stanleyrw...never had a problem with rooting/upgrading until now (so I'm finally posting after searching forums/testing for 2 days).

Installed Amon_RA's recovery, did the nand backup, D/L'ed both the 5.0.7 and the ERE36B files, checked the hash, already had the Danger SPL installed with the correct radio (2.22.23.02), wiped, flashed CM 5.0.7 and the Google updater per the instructions on the 1st page...and got stuck on the G1 screen. Finally pulled the battery after about 10-15 minutes and did a restore. Tried wiping again and flashing, still stuck.

Pulled the battery and the 4GB card and put in a 1GB card I had lying around, wiped all 5 options, formatted the card with 512 EXT3, no swap instead of having one like the 4GB and the rest of the 1GB card FAT32. Redid the radio and DangerSPL, then reflashed CM 5.0.7 and the Google updater which should have given me a clean install...and still got hung up...so nand restored back again after putting the 4GB card back in...

I am probably overlooking something basic after staring at those instructions and scanning the forums on and off for 2 days...so what is it?
[G1 Android Development] coderiu:
So, would you please help me cyan. Thanx
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
hmm.. i love xda and the bright ideas our dev's have.. but all these sudden eclair roms that popped out of nowhere which are really just this rom with maybe an edit or two and a theme is really cluttering and unnecessary.. anyone else agree?

On another hand, people let's not turn this thread into a Cyan Fanbase with more than half of the comment's here just saying how great this rom is, thanking cyan, blessing his mother for having him etc. and focus on the ROM and problems you occur. I know i'm contradicting myself by doing just that but i want to get this out. and please don't post having a problem if you haven't wiped before flashing, or post a problem about not having market if you didn't flash the gapps over this Rom. Let's keep this thread clean and on point.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Google updater? i hope you mean gapps.. flashing the radio and spl over again was completely unnecessary.. don't do it again. put in your favorite sdcard, wipe everything, flash the rom, then flash gapps then reboot. while its booting up run an logcat so we can see the problem and try to figure it out.
[G1 Android Development] broker1:
heh :D--yeah I meant gapps--missed that when I was typing it. Reflashing the radio and spl over again was just me grasping at straws...

Put in the 1GB card and wiped everything, flashed the rom, flashed gapps...and the logcat is below

- waiting for device -

E/logwrapper( 57): executing /system/xbin/busybox failed: No such file or dire

ctory

I/logwrapper( 52): /system/xbin/busybox terminated by exit(255)

EDIT: Forgot to mention that it stays stuck on the G1 screen until I reset it into recovery mode
[G1 Android Development] eebmob:
love this rom so smooth and fast and my evertday use is perfect
[G1 Android Development] :
Bro, a lot of them ARE based on cyanogenmod, but they don't just have an edit or two. Everyone has their own way of building a ROM and what they consider will be the fastest setup. This creates MANY varying points.
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
I get this too. Honestly, I have had this occur for me on most versions of CM I have used. Not a real big deal though, I just kill the music app with a task manager (I know its recommended to not use this, just use when I want to immediately remove something from memory) when I'm done using it and no more problems.

Need help for Magic

I am an android newbie and currently running following on an Indian HTC Magic 32A :

Android 1.6 (Amon_RA Rom)

Sapphire PVT 32A Eng S-OFF H

HBOOT-1.33.2010

Radio: 3.22.20.17

I read the entire thread and had collated that I may have to execute the following steps in order to install CyanogenMod 5 eclair on my device :

1. Download and install Amon_RA Recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img )

2. Boot into recovery and Do a "Wipe data/factory reset"

3. Do a "Wipe SD: ext partition"

4. Apply Zip: HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip

5. Apply Zip: update-cm-xxxx-signed.zip

6. Apply Kernel Port Zip :

7. Reboot

Can someone please help me in clarifying following doubts:

At step 3: Why Wipe SD is required? and is it a pre-requisite for Eclair to have ext partitions on sdcard ?

At step 4: Why DRC83_rooted_base needs to be flashed? I am already running 1.6 rooted?

At Step 6: Why do i need a kernel port? Is cyanogenMod ROM itself is not compatible with 32A?

Thanks in advance.

PS: I had already searched a lot, but not able to connect the above missing gaps.

Google Addon -- anywhere?

I've been looking everywhere for the google addon download.

All links seems to be dead.

Is it still live anywhere?

thanks!

UPDATE: I found it on piratebay ... but how do I install anything?!

I don't have Market app to install anything ...

I can't install Titanium backup to restore ...
[G1 Android Development] mattv888:
You flash the google addons, just like a rom. However, check the MD5 Sum to make sure it's still authentic.

multitasking

What's the best way to get one or two apps to stay alive in the background? Or is it completely impossible with this rom?

I picked up advanced memory manager, thinking i could tell it to keep certain things from getting killed, but i'm having no luck with that.

I'd like to be able to, only when necessary, keep navigation, gmail, and messaging from getting killed, obviously only one at a time, and only when i need them to stay alive for some amount of time.

If necessary, I'm happy to buy an app to do this.

Any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] godfatherd:
why is this build slow, and i only have 25 mb ram left
[G1 Android Development] ericscottf:
On a G1, you didn't have that much ram to begin with. Are you on a G1?

If you're referring to the home screen loading slow after going to a program:

go to spare parts, set the launcher in memory checkbox.

if you want to possibly speed things up a bit with some memory management, i found that advanced memory manager worked nicely for me.

If you can be more specific about what is slow, what you have, and what you're looking for, i bet the nice people here will help. Ambiguous and discourteous posts like this tend only to upset hard working people in the community.

Problems with apps installed on sdcard

applications installed on sdcard stopped working after flashing 5.0.7. They generate "The Application xxx has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". Once the applications are moved to internal storage, they start again. This is true with application installed after flashing 5.0.7 also.

Some of the problems having problem are, Handcent SMS, Grocery IQ, CM Updater etc.

Any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] pziv2:
Try Apps2SD on a Class 4 or greater SDcard. SDcards below Class 4 perform poorly on Apps2SD.
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
You have "collated" wrong. Nowhere in the original post does it say anything about defanged base. Defanged base is for CM's later version 4 Donut ROMs.

Your questions can be answered by rereading the original post (post number 1 in this thread.) Your 32A ROM is listed there, as well as the instructions to flash the ROM, then GAPPS (gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed.zip.)

I think most here would agree that you need to wipe before flashing the new ROM, including the SD and possibly including repartitioning the SD. You are wiping the SD to ensure no legacy settings are carried over to the new ROM. In addition, the EXT partition is for apps2sd if you choose to use that feature, and I believe the mount point for that has changed (someone correct me if I am wrong.)

So you have the right idea about wiping. Wipe and repartition the SD, wipe everything you can on your phone, then flash the proper port for your 32A phone, then immediately flash gapps. You should be good to go.

Hi. i'm looking at upgrading my htc dream dev phone 1 to run CyanogenMod Eclair. I've looked up several how-tos but dont want to brick my device.

One particular one suggests a phone should be RC29 / RC7(uk).

Below are my phone's details(no reference to release candidate):

Build number dream-devphone-userdebug 1.0 unlocked 116222 test-keys.

Firmware version 1.0 Kernel 2.6.25-01843-gfea26b0androidbuild@apa27#6

DREA100 PVT 32B

HBOOT-0.95.3000

CPLD-4

RADIO-1.22.12.29

You also recommend using DangerSPL but the radio is version 1.x. I've read this could brick the device. How do you recommend i go about upgrading my phone?

Thanks.

I/logwrapper( 52): /system/xbin/busybox terminated by signal 11

Help!!! Does anyone have an idea what's going on here. I flashed my recovery image with Amon_RA recovery ("G" version as I have a Magic32b) and after installing CM my phone just hangs on the boot up screen. I tried running adb logcat and I got the following message:

C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb logcat

I/logwrapper( 52): /system/xbin/busybox terminated by signal 11

Seems similar to the above problem, does anyone have any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] rudeguy:
did you just install Amon's recovery? If so, did you let it reboot all the way before going into recovery?
[G1 Android Development] gordongecko:
Hi, not sure what you mean by that. I rooted my Magic from scratch by loading with Amon_RA via the AndroidSDK and then permanently flashing it. I then backup up and installed CM 5.07. It hung on the start up screen so I tried everything again (inc. re-downloading) and it still hangs. If I restore the backup I made before trying to install CM 5.07 (standard non rooted ROM) phone loads up normally
[G1 Android Development] dtptampa:
Looks like a great ROM.

I just want to make sure: my phone is rooted and I have installed a custom ROM. I upgraded the radio it a 2x before this as well, and flashed the HardSPL along with the radio. I can still install DangerSPL by wiping the phone and flashing the file, right? I just want to make sure before doing something that will brick my phone. Thanks

what kinda phone, g1 or mt3g?

if g1, just do this:

if mt3g, you dont need danger spl anyways

OK, so this new ROM has been running along smoothly for a few days, then I create a Nandroid backup. Today I back out of an app (Twidroid, for the record) and all my home screens are completely blank, all my icons and widgets are gone. So I restore the backup, which seems to work fine, the phone reboots, and now it is stuck at the T-Mobile G1 screen.

What do you think, wipe and start again?
[G1 Android Development] jschmid75:
Hi,

I formatted my EXT3 with gparted and installed than the CM 5.0.7 (came from 4.2.15.1) and the gapps. Everything works fine but go back to home with the homebutton takes sometimes 2-4 sec. What could I do to speed that up ?

[G1 Android Development] rudeguy:
spare parts > lock home/launcher in memory
[G1 Android Development] rudeguy:
when in doubt, wipe it out

I don't understand how your phone locked up and/or why your Nand backup wouldn't work. That is, unless you didn't give it enough time to do its thing?

Either way...see my first thought.
[G1 Android Development] jschmid75:
what do you mean with that ?
[G1 Android Development] rudeguy:
go to the spare parts app (its included). Scroll down to where it gives you the option for "Launcher in memory" and tick that box.

I tried to enable the swap partition following cyanogen guide:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Userinit.sh

But as I have a mt3g, i don't have a hard keyboard and need to use adb.

so i boot in recovery (amon) and then type:

adb shell mount -a

But I get the following message:

mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /sd-ext failed: Invalid argument

Any ideas?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
you need the userinit.sh script in a file placed in your /sd-ext folder

also, is your sdcard partitioned with a ext3, or ext4?
[G1 Android Development] eadred:
Thanks for your answer. I have no ext partition on my SD. Only fat32 and 256mb swap. Why?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
If you have ran my all in one patch script on an mt3g the 20userinit script get patched to look in /data/local for userinit.sh and userinit.d directory

(It will only run that if it doesn't find /sd-ext/userinit(sh,d) )

So drop your userinit.sh script into /data/local/
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
yes, what he said (cause if you haven't partitioned with a ext3 or ext4, you'll have no /sd-ext folder)

Weird Issue

This is not a problem just a weird issue.

I reboot my phone at least once a day. It just makes life much easier for me.

In mid boot screen, the phone rings. I have never had the issue before. I have had a mesage sound happen right before the lock screen comes on after boot, but never a rining in the middle of booting.

Just thought it was strange and I hope it does not indicate something strange is going on.

Otherwise my phone is running perfectly.

I believe it keeps Launcher.apk in memory, so just overwrite it with ADB.

If I'm wrong you can use Autokiller to raise a process priority (or it might be Autostarts, idr)

Unstable connectivity via ADB

Same here. Rebooting phone temporarily fixes the issue.
[G1 Android Development] eadred:
Actually, there is an sd-ext folder on my sd, even though I have no ext partition.

But I am a bit lost now. To sum up:

should I first drop the userinit.sh file in /system/sd

adb shell mount -a

vi /system/sd/userinit.sh

swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3;

sysctl -w vm.swappiness=30;

reboot

and then move userinit.sh to /data/local?

What Firerat script did is write a userinit.d file in /data/local and add fr-patch132.txt in /system/sd. But firerat script seemed to have failed to truly activate swap. That's why I am looking for alternatives.

Should I undo firerat patch first or should I do userinit.sh stuff upon firerat script? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
I found it to be impossible, no matter what Compcache/Swap/on/off/whatever setting or additional app you use. This Rom is a single-task-at-a-time affair.

USB connectivity 5.0.7

I am having the same problem, except it doesn't go away if I reboot. Basically I have no usb connectivity. I thought that perhaps the contacts on the phone were dirty, but I checked them out, and cleaned them anyway, and they're ok. I tried different cables, different computers, no good.

I think it started happening with 5.0.7 test6 maybe? I loaded 5.0.7 (release) via the SD card and recovery console thinking that might help. Interestingly (to me) recovery console doesn't connect either, even in MS mode. XP doesn't see the phone at all. Not as an unrecognized device or anything. Obviously then ADB doesn't work. Fastboot doesn't see anything either. I tried reinstalling drivers.

The phone charges, but it never says anything about debugging mode, nor mounting the SD card. Just the lightning on the battery icon.

If I use the terminal from the phone, run logcat, I see a message each time I plug or unplug the usb cable -

I/global ( 137): Default buffer size used in BufferedReader constructor. It would be better to be explicit if an 8k-char buffer is required.

Which tells me the phone _is_ actually doing something with the usb port, it's just not working quite right. @#%ed if I know what it is though. It seems odd that recovery isn't working, either (with the usb port).

I'm also using the dangerSPL if that helps anyone figure out where the problem is.

TIA for any advice from anyone who knows more than myself!

dont need swap w this rom

did you get this onto your device?

(if not, just wipe, flash the fr cm5.0.7 zip, then flash the gapps.zip and reboot, be patient, wait about 5 minutes or so, and voila)
[G1 Android Development] eadred:
I like my apps to always stay alive, in particular my web browser. This used to be achieved with swap. On this rom (or cannon 2.1 which is based on this rom) it just doesn't work. Apps get killed either way. Maybe it is not an important aspect for you, so you don't need swap, for me it is.

Whenever I am writing a text in my web browser, switch shortly to another task and want to return to my text, if the browser has been killed in the meantime, the text is lost and it drives me nuts.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
???

can you please point out where I say put anything in /system/sd

STOP, you are making a complete mess of things, you have no clue

swap behaves differently on cm5.0.7, just forget about it.
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
what app is dying for you guys? the only one that dies for me when i try to multitask is a radio app, audio gets broken, (known issue) issue tracker but app is still running in background...otherwise i think the other apps keep going

installed fr's anyspl on my buddy's g1, works great, no swap, no compcache
[G1 Android Development] eadred:
Well, I do know I have no clue, otherwise I wouldn't be asking for help ;-)

I believe swap is properly enabled, I made sure of it with swapper 2 cause it offers the option the check swap activity. So the post with all the code can be forgetten. Yet the problem with apps in background being killed remains.

I understand I'm annoying, but I try to learn and find solutions ;)
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:

I only have 18-20mb. Does this have to be like this, or it si something wrong?
[G1 Android Development] rudeguy:
first off...task killer is highly frowned on with 2.1

My 32B usually has ~20m free.
[G1 Android Development] HaloTechnology:
like browser and the market and contact and sometimes maps
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Any app. Whenever you're going to do "something else" and come back to the app you left it's not there anymore. All browser tabs are either closed or have to be reloaded, any normal app you temporarily leave usually gets thrown out of memory instantly. It's literally impossible to multitask on this Rom, no matter how you set it up.

That might not be a problem for some people (or apparently most people when you read this forum) but for others it's quite annoying.

When I received an e-mail or an SMS I had to wait to read it as opening the mail/sms-app would for sure cause the current program to suspend and reload after going back to it. None of this using a proper Donut Rom.

Again: it's a very nice (and speedy...) Rom and a remarkable achievement to be honest, and it works rather well, but only when you do ONE thing at a time.
