Hey, Iv been a long time CM user ( since v. 3) anyways, I have used CM 5 and then used CM6

Im now convinced that the dream was built to run upto CM4 latest version. the dream is just too slow for anything higher

how can I sucessfully downgrade to CM4?... I tried installing one of my old CM4.2.14 and my phone would just hang in the G1 screen.

am I supposed to downgrade something else?...

So with regards to my gmail-not-refreshing issue

I re-flashed CM5.0.8 and gapps.

No wipe, no other changes

It refreshes perfectly now.

I did this the other day (among some other things), and it must not have lasted.

What could be happening over the course of hours/days that results in gmail not refreshing?

I'd rather not have to re-flash once a day or so. seems silly.

thanks
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
I couldn't disagree more. My wife's G1 flies on CM 5.0.8. Check out the tutorial in my sig (skip the battery part); the "note-able notes" part should help speed things up big time. Also, take a look at my settings in my sig, too. It does take some tweaking to get CM 5.0.8 running fast, but it is definitely possible (believe me, my wife would let me know if it wasn't!).

Most likely, it was just a bad flash. You could also have a corrupted update.zip (re-downloading is never a bad idea).

As far as what version is "most reliable," I would say, out of the box, it would be CM 4.2.15.1. BUT...as I said above, CM 5.0.8 can blaze on a G1. Give the tutorial in my sig a look (mostly the "note-able notes" part, not the battery stuff) and have a go at it. The settings in my sig are the same for both my wife's G1 and my MT3G (unless noted). Worst case scenario is you try, it doesn't work to your liking, and you revert to CM 4.

Quick question,tonight I started to get an fc message regarding vending.apk and market closes. Can I just reflash the gapps file without a wipe?
[G1 Android Development] axe319:
You could try that.but there's a good chance you need to wipe.trial and error,just remember to nandroid first. :)
[G1 Android Development] flyers00:
I will nandroid and try it without wiping,if it doesn't work then its time to wipe. Thanks for the quick response
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
It shouldn't be a problem to flash without a wipe. If it doesn't work, you could try deleting the Market cache.

Open terminal emulator and type:

su[ENTER]

rm[SPACE]-r[SPACE]data/data/com.android.vending/cache[ENTER]

reboot[ENTER]

*The text in [ ] are for button reference and not to be typed, of course.

As always, Nandroid first.
[G1 Android Development] Jrbourque:
how does this rom run for everyone? Im flashing a friends mytouch for him but need to make sure its not something that will start to lag or anything past two days
[G1 Android Development] axe319:
I had it for around a month but have since flashed 6.0.0rc3.IMHO this (5.0.8) is the smoothest rom to date.just be sure to enable "keep home in memory" in spare parts to eliminate a lag when you press the home button.

Edit:I've also flashed it to 5 other phones with equal success.just be sure to wipe:)
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Take a look at my sig for my setup (for both my wife's G1 and my MT3G) and the tutorial in it, as well (read the whole thing, but the first part is mainly for the battery issues people had experienced; the second part is more performance related).

Both my wife's G1 and my MT3G fly on this ROM the way I have them setup.

CM6...a chocolate covered razor blade.

[CM6 related, but posting in here because I know you guys...and I don't like the CM forums much.]

Well, CM6 is out :D

I was excited for CM6 :D ...until I found out that it does not natively support apps2sd :(

Then, I got excited when I found out about Firerat's script (because Froyo2sd blows chunks) :D ...until I found out you have to run it every time you install a new app (if you want it to go to the ext partition) :(

If it were

my

G1, I wouldn't mind as much (but it's still a nuisance). Given that it's my wife's G1...it isn't going to happen. It took me forever just to convince her to use the calendar on her phone and not one tacked to her office wall. Convincing her (and teaching her) to run a script every so often to move apps? Not happening. Not even a possibility. I mean, seriously, it's not happening. Not even in a frozen over Hell with flying pigs.

So, I may mess around with CM6 on my MT3G, but her G1 is just going to have to stay on 5.0.8 for now.

Unless I'm missing something. If I am, and there is a way to permanently enable apps2sd (like automatically installing them to the ext partition), I am all ears. I did some searching, but came up nada. And this is one instance I would LOVE to be told I'm wrong! :D

So...I'm going to bed now. And I'm hoping that one of you will have a "[Slap!] Here's the link, idiot!" post for me tomorrow when I wake up. Generally, I don't like that kind of post for anyone...but in this instance, I'm allowing it, nay, encouraging it to entice someone who might know the answer to post back. So, seriously, if you've got the permanent automatic solution, you have my absolute permission to post that exact statement. You can even substitute "idiot" with other colorful terms such as "douche bag" or "sucka" or maybe even a "fart knocker." I'm game. Bring it on! Please...:o
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
not true,

by default apps will go to sd-ext ( if you set default instll location to internal in cm settings )

and why are you posting this in a CM5 thread ? you do know that there is a CM6 thread don't you?
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Sweet. Thanks, rat. Guess I misunderstood the instructions (which is actually what I was hoping for!).

Answered that one...

...but to better explain, it's because the CM6 threads in XDA (I won't touch the CM forums) right now are filled with an initial 100+ pages of "Yay!" and "Woohoo" and "Thanks, flashing right now!" posts. Plus, for some reason, the search function of XDA was down at the time I was on last night (just kept getting redirected to "Sorry, the search function is down right now. Try back later!"). So, there was no way except manually fishing through all that :( So, I figured I'd throw one last line out to my 508ers, especially the ones who didn't jump on the CM6 bandwagon right away and had done some research.

Anyways, don't worry, I post in the correct threads almost always. Like I said, I was just throwing a line out to those I know, one last time, before I migrate on over to the CM6 thread. Hopefully, this chat of ours will serve as an extra catalyst to help others migrate over to CM6, as well and give her a run.

Thanks again for the response, rat. You're always a huge help and you are a massive asset to the Android community. Keep up the awesome work.

Cool, thanks for the heads up MFS ... will have a look and see how it goes!
[G1 Android Development] glazehound:
So, I'm a noob at this. I just rooted and installed 5.0.8, and was wondering if there is a way to change the silent slider on the unlock screen to vibrate?
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
S'ok. Slide it over to enable "Silent," then go into Settings and where you would normally set the sounds and such, you should see the box next to "Silent Mode" ticked. Look down a little further and you'll see an empty little box next to "Vibrate." Tick that baby and voila! When you slide over for "Silent," you'll get "Vibrate" instead.

Note: If you use the long press Power button method to get the menu for Silent Mode, Airplane Mode, etc., THAT will NOT turn it to vibrate. It will go silent from that method. Just an FYI.
[G1 Android Development] glazehound:
Thanks! It was driving me crazy! :)
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
:D No prob. I know that sometimes the smallest things can mean the most and make or break a ROM experience for someone. Glad I can help.

On that note, you should really try out CM6 (nandroid backup your CM5 setup first, so that you can always just go right back). I flashed a few of the initial RC's to see what it was like, but waited until a stable release to actually have a go at it as a "daily driver." I've got to say, it is really really good. And this is coming from someone who loved his CM5 setup (ask anyone here, I had that sucker tweaked to personal perfection). There is a little tweaking to do to get CM6 running like a top, but luckily, it really isn't a lot and there are some awesome people that have made flashable scripts and such to enable features very easily (links in my sig).

When I get a chance, I'll write up a little tutorial (I'm kind of a tutorial nerd) on what I did for both my MT3G and my wife's G1 (it's almost identical, but the G1 needs a few small added tweaks). I'll post it in the CM6 thread, though. Overall, CM6 is absolutely awesome. Kudos Cy and team.
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
on that note, i think some folks should try the chromatic 4.5 ROM. It has swap enabled as a default and also has the apps2sd script built in. I'm loving it even more than cm6 right now!
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
errm , it is cm6, just behind a bit
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Yup. Proof is in the puddin'...

It's really just a themed version of a CM6 nightly with some of the tweaks we use (Firerat's scripts, SetCPU, etc.), if you read through the release notes enough. Nothing wrong with that, but it is what it is.

Aaaaand it's not..."polite"...to solicit a ROM put out by someone else in a thread for a different dev's ROM. Especially Cy's. Not raggin' on ya, ad - you know I like ya, man - but just trying to keep you outa trouble is all.
[G1 Android Development] glazehound:
adw

Does anyone have a flashable .zip for ADW 1.1.5?
[G1 Android Development] Jigga0o7:
Never thought I'd say this; but I've come back to 5.0.8 from CM6 and the difference is night and day! Definitely going to stick with 5.0.8 at this time.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
I'd agree, but the other way around. CM6 is far faster, but it requires a bit of tweaking. Check this out for a much better CM6 experience.
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
I would agree with the original statement and go a bit further claiming Donut is even faster still :D

Unless you're a single-task user, in that case a 2.x Rom can be useable. Running multiple tasks Donut still reigns supreme ;)
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
Does anyone know if the audio issues with Pandora have been resolved yet?
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
OK, OK, so we don't get into a slap fest, I'll at least agree that CM4 was much faster. It also didn't require any tweaking to get the speed, that's for sure (CM4.2.15.1 is still a heck of a ROM, even if it is "legacy").

I got CM5 going great, but it took a heck of a lot more "tweaking" than CM6 to get there. But, hey, I can't complain too much; CM is free, cutting edge and...FREE. :D Hey, whatever your flavor is, we all gotta agree that Cy is the man.

P.S. - Because you mentioned running a 2.x Rom, you've inspired me to rock out a Windows 95 VM for fun today! This ought to be interesting. Ah, the memories....

hi there is something wrong with my phone after i installed cyanogen mod and i was wondering is there a way to hard reset the g1 to factory cyanogen settings
[G1 Android Development] timekeeper:
I've tried CM6 and CM6.1-RC1 on my G1 for a while, but always had problems with force closes, lagginess, market issues, and such until I went back to 5.0.8. It flies now without any issues, guess the G1 is a bit underpowered for 2.2. Tried several tweaks on Cm6 but not much luck.

I miss the newer stuff though, like custom LED notifications, etc.

lol well true but im asking for the peoples opinion :)
[G1 Android Development] dustrho:
I own a MyTouch3G (32B) from T-Mobile, and I've been flashing Cyanogen ROMs on it ever since I bought it last October. Anytime CM came out with a new version, I flashed it immediately to my phone. Then I got a taste of what the nightlies are all about, and have been flashing those on a daily basis. However, with the latest Froyo version out my phone has been somewhat laggy, the Market not reliable, FCs and random reboots made using my phone not so enjoyable anymore.

This is when I reverted back to CM 5.0.8.

My MT3G can handle the latest & great Froyo versions, but it also makes the phone not something I thoroughly enjoy using anymore. Maybe I'll go back to the nightlies again, but for now I'll be running CM 5.0.8 as I truly believe this is the leanest, meanest & most stable CM IMO.

i have a g1

i tried updating from 5.0.7 test 7 using rom manager and it asked me to back up the rom i was on and to wipe and delete the cache. after i hit ok it's just stuck in the G1 screen. i can get it back on the old rom if i start it up with the sd card off then retry it with it on. i can't access the recovery screen afterwards though.
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
Completely agree. This phone is just not powerful enough to run Froyo well. The entire year I've owned mine I've been hoping T-mobile would give us Eclair, then they go and give us Froyo.

The only real reason I don't go back to Donut is speech-to-text in any field. LOVE that...

[G1 Android Development] martijnn2:
ghehehe lol:D
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Good ol' G1

Nope, unfortunately (and Super E is based off of CM5, btw, so no surprise there). But, set it to 2MP and you'll be good to go. At 2MP, it stills takes pretty decent pics with the right settings ("Super Fine", etc.). All in all, though, I mean let's face it; it's 3 year old hardware. And we're not expecting SLR quality shots here :p

I recently downgraded my wife's G1 to CM5 from CM6 due to performance issues and easier apps2ext (on CM5). Actually, I first went all the way back to CM4 because, let's face it, that sucker is the best performer, hands down. But, even though I love CM4's performance and like CM6's features, I was a little tired of hearing "My phone [insert complaint here]. Can you fix it?" every other day :rolleyes: And, as much as I hate to say it, CM4 just won't run a lot of apps anymore :(

So, CM5 it is for her. Add Faux's 2708+ kernel to that, a 512MB ext3 partition (I found ext4 to actually be slower, at least on the G1), a 96MB swap partition enabled w/ -Steve-O-'s swap script (10 swappiness) and bam, you got a speedy G1 that still runs pretty much everything. She has a slight phone app lag every so often, but I'm working on that (I think I've got a solution - to raise the app's priority - but need the time to test it).

All in all, I'd day this is probably the best daily driver ROM for a G1, IMO. She's only had a few issues and, after some troubleshooting, I've come to believe her SD Card was just fragmented, had a few bad sectors or is just plain starting to crap out. I think apps2ext and swap have taken their toll over the years (remember, the G1 just turned 3 years old this month!). I reformatted it 3x, repartitioned and restored, and it seems to be running better (for now). So, I'll probably grab a new 4GB or 8GB microSD sometime when I'm out and smack it in there. Cheap and easy fix.

It still just makes me smile that the very first Android phone, even at 3 years old, still is one heck of a smartphone. Compare that to a iPhone 1st Gen and...well, heck, you can't even use it anymore! They make a really pretty iPaper-weight, though :D
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
I think its awesome that the 32b devices are still supported. I have to ask though, why not pick up a vibrant for $100 on CL?
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Heh, because my wife loves her G1 more than me, I think :-) I've tried countless times to convince her into a newer phone, but she just loves that thing. And, hey, if it still runs fine & works for what she needs, I don't have much to argue on. Plus, it let's me upgrade more often :-P
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
Lol I guess that's true. I'd probably get a mytouch slide 3g and hand it to her to see what happens.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Tried. She hated its particular keyboard, reiterated her love for her G1...and then told me to put the MT3G Slide back. Believe me, it ain't happening unless her G1 goes belly up. And considering I have spare G1 parts from a friend's phone, that will be a looooong time from now :-)

Sent from my Nook Color on XDA Premium
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
Yep. That G1 keyboard is worth holding onto, but the manufacturers for whatever reason just don't seem to get what having five rows of staggered qwerty keys can do for a phone's popularity with those that -- like myself -- just need to have a keyboard.

I have yet to see a phone personally that has a keyboard that I like as much as my G1's. However, the things I want to do with my phone require that I do upgrade and I am considering -- slightly -- getting a non-keyboard phone. Depends on what's available over the next month and a half.
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Been there. The only available (and natural) option was and still is the G2. Far from as good as G1 keyboardwise, but the best hardware kbd option.
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
Same for me, I am still waiting for an alternative, but there isn't anything iteresting here in Germany.

But what's about the Galaxy S Glide? It should be available in America, shouldn't it? The keyboard will not be compareable to the G1's one, but might be a compromize.
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
It's a little older but the Sidekick 4G for T-Mobile has a keyboard I'm eyeballing. Only thing is it's a single-core proc, but it IS a GHz and it does have five rows of QWERTY.

I see a few other phones, but T-Mo's phone shopping site sucks. They can't pick a single set of specs to show for ALL phones, so there are some I'm interested in but don't know how the proc compares, or whether it's got an SD card or not. There's no one table that shows them all with yes-or-no, unless you compare, then you can only compare five at a time.

I'd take the time to google the specs but I'm just not motivated in that direction yet.
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Yes, Sidekick 4G was my other option when shopping for a G1 replacement. Thai I settled for a DesireZ was mostly down to availability. And when it comes to build quality, there's not much that compares to the DZ. Hell, you can drive nails with this thing!
