a bored rant

thats fricken hilarious

if you find something better than droidex for me to capture more than 5 fps ill be glad to show how snappy this build can be if setup properly, i have my homescreen FULL of widgets, i dont use task killers, i dont use startup auditors, my cpu never drops below 245 and never exceeds 576 and everything is pretty instantaneous.. once 2.2 is in full swing performance will be even better, right now for this to really be usable you need either compcache on or do what i did and set yourself up with a swap partition (proper setup can be forever debated and the final verdict seems to be "dont use swap" but from my experience it makes this build act like its dipped in butter and everything just slides.. i use 24mb swap and 10 swappiness, but might try bringing swappiness down even lower) also if you buy setcpu from the market, try not to be tempted to set a screen off profile below 245 cause it just slows thing down, one might feel tempted for the sake of battery life but calls, txts, notifications, alarms, screen wakes, etc can sometimes take a wile to come through.. this build is not without a bug or two, but overall most of the problems that get reported in this thread are user created.

SwitchROM Problem

Hey guys,

When i try using SwitchROM to restore a previously saved ROM, I get this error message:

"An error occurred during nandroid restore...

Have a look at 'system/sd/nandroid.log' to find the cause"

I'm on a G1 w/ Superbad 1.7 (also happened on CM 5.0.8), 8 gb class 6 sdhc w/ 768 mb ext and 32 mb swap, danger spl, radio 2.22.23.02, amon ra 1.6.2 recovery

I've searched through my sd card and internal memory I cant find where nandroid.log is located. I've attached recovery.log, if you know where to find nandroid.log and/or what the problem is please tell me. Thanks.

So what i read from cyanogen and other sources was that there would be an update this weekend for 5.0.8. Anyone know what happened to that?
[G1 Android Development] xl DIGITAL lx:
I dont think there are going to be any updates on this anymore, I think cyanogen is working on CM-6.
[G1 Android Development] jimmyhawk:
I saw the same thing but haven't seen the update, and yes he's currently working on cm6 as well.
[G1 Android Development] mdneilson:
I'm right handed and talk with the left all the time.

I was wondering the same thing.

I don't think they abandoned this one, as CM6 is pretty far from being an every-day rom. There was supposed to be an update released. And an official Cyan test for CM6 too, if I remember correctly.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
First, if you have the ability to move the min and max sliders, do so to make them 576Mhz (max) and 160Mhz (min). If they cannot be moved (i.e. The highest you can go is 528 and the lowest is 245 or 128), then...

Make sure you're using the latest SetCPU (available here for free...legally, yes), which is version 2.0.0c. Click the physical MENU button, select "Device Selection", then "Autodetect Speeds Recommended".

DO NOT PICK "G1/Dream/myTouch 32B [MSM7k]"!

That is where you will get 245/528 from. Again, make sure to press "Autodetect Speeds Recommended".

It should return 122Mhz (min) and 576Mhz (max). Up the minimum to 160Mhz and you're golden.

If it still comes back 245/528 somehow (and I don't expect it to), my advice would be to uninstall it, reboot to recovery, Nandroid/Bart backup (always), wipe the dalvik-cache and reboot. The reboot will take longer, but it will boot to the OS, don't worry. Then, reinstall SetCPU and follow my instructions.

Note: FYI, even though my sig states that I have a MT3G, never fear. My wife has a G1 and this works like a charm on hers.

Update ADWlauncher?

I saw that there's a new version of Adwlauncher out. Is there a way to install the latest version over the one that comes with cm5? And if this is possible, would this cause problems?

I know I can install it and have it as an additional launcher (I think) but want to know if it's possible to or advisable to install it over the one default adwlauncher on cm5.

Thanks in advance for any help!

hey i had a question, does anyone know why my wireless tether doesnt work? it keeps failing to confgue and aticate wifi interface whenever i start it.
[G1 Android Development] damngood98:
i remember reading (couldn't say where however) that it's fine to just download from the market. mark it as the default and just make sure you don't have widgets installed on the home screen that came w/the rom. if you'd like, there is a flashable version here: http://jbthemes.com/dr_cloverdale/ADWLauncher9.0_Replacement_MDPI.zip

you can just flash in recovery.
[G1 Android Development] fsr678:
Thank you for the reply.

Just a few more questions (I just rooted my G1 for the first time last night so learning as I go...and it looks like we have the exact same setup).

1. I just downloaded from the market and tried it out. May be my imagination but seems smoother than the older version. Anyway, when u say make sure I don't have widgets installed on the home screen of the older version, do u mean I should trash all widgets from the old home screen so that all the screens are empty? what about the "dock" (the three little shortcuts at the bottom of the screen)..do you think I should get rid of those as well (not sure if this is even possible).

2. If I flash in recovery, does that basically overwrite the old launcher in the system as opposed to installing an additional launcher as done by installing from market?

3. I saw that the screenshots on the adwlauncher site had more than 3 shortcuts in the dock. Is this something that is possible currently in the default adw cm5 launcher and I am just not seeing the setting? **EDIT: Figured this out. Have to uncheck the check box for "Desktop Dots" then check "Secondary ActionButtons"**

Thanks again!

Crack-a-lackin' Audio

Been looking for a fix for this for awhile...

For anyone having "crackling" audio problems - whether in the stock MP3 player, video player, Pandora or otherwise - I found that the 2.6.34 OC-UV-FP DS kernel ("What a mouth-full!", I know) fixes the issue completely. Just flashed it and tested. The "crack-a-lackin'" is a-gone, baby! Wow, I need sleep...

Updated my sig to include the link for anyone who needs it.

this ROM drains my mt3g like crazy. I tried everything to reduce battery time. I like the speed but the power comsumption, :(
[G1 Android Development] Kaos Chase:
Two things. I moved out of state and since then everytime my 3g goes out I reboot my phone. when I reboot my phone.... it bricks and gets stuck on the boot screen. And my battery will die out at 30%?!

I am re-rooting my phone now and will post more on these problems later.

Also I updated my Girlfriends G1 to Cyan 5.8 two days ago and her battery is still going strong with 41% left!? WTF!??! Mines never done that? What could be causing these problems.

paid apps

just flashed this rom and now cant see paid apps in market any help would be welcomed thank you
[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
actually it only worked for my for a day and a half. i tried it again to see if rebooting that kills it and it must be entered again, but that's not it.

not working for me now... still plagued with return reloads in market.

back to the drawing board.

Maybe I'm an idiot.../

...and have been out of the G1 modding for far too long, but my boyfriend's G1 (formally mine) started freaking so I upgraded to this ROM and yet when I try to do the Google apps, it refuses to work...

I am just renaming to update zip and flashing, no? Am I just missing something?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
more than likely missing the DangerSPL requirement

either

read about flashing danger ( be careful you can brick if you do it wrong )

or use alternative methods ( my sig has a few )
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
One hand, that sucks and I feel bad for you because trust me I know how annoying it is. On the other hand, it's a little reassuring to know I'm not the only one who this didn't work for. I went ahead and tried it again before posting this and still a no-go. Right now, I'm using aTrackDog to handle my updates and then search for new apps or whatever form there. Seems to go well using that method.
[G1 Android Development] Wigster:
Whenever I restart my phone it seems to send a load of text messages that have already been sent and replied to.. is getting rather annoying now.

I am running 5.0.8-DS.

I also have issues with it not showing that it is sending sms when connected, but they actually do get sent.

It has not changed (as far as I know). I have DangerSPL, and I've never ran into problems with flashing any ROMs. However, I didn't know that I didn't really even need it in the first place, since I have a MT3G.
[G1 Android Development] phishy:
Actually, I had the same problem - I had the Danger SPL from the Hakuro days and when CM5 came out, I assumed I had it installed - CM5 failed.

I applied the Danger SPL from this post and I was set! (Since you applied the SPL once, you probably know this, but make sure your Radio is updated first!)
[G1 Android Development] xPreSiDenT:
I experienced another weird problem today, my G1 suddenly lost all its contacts and call log :S... messages were fine. And it rebooted itself after a while. Could it have been swapper 2 f*ing up? been loving this rom thanks to the whole cyanogen team, n xda devs but patiently waiting for an update to 5.0.8.
[G1 Android Development] bunu:
There will be no more updates to this ROM especially since you are the only one having this problem. Just re-sync your gmail and see if that helps.

CyanogenMod 6 is coming close and the CyanogenMod team is working on that.
[G1 Android Development] xPreSiDenT:
I'm sorry but Ive seen many people talk about the reboot problem. The contacts problem is new, could be for many reasons, but there are some other problems too that many people are aware of, and I myself have posted. I'm not complaining, I cant thank the cyanogen team enough, but the community works by reporting and correcting problems. On what authority do you say there's not going to be any updates? Just as many people are saying there will be updates. CM6 will be in the testing phase for quite a while.
[G1 Android Development] zeemcmanus:
Actually cyanogenmod website said there was suppose to be an update released to 5x, but with all the CM6 goodness lately I either doubt it or pretty sure it will come out later under the radar.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Doubtful it's due to Swapper2. Swap screwing up wouldn't delete stuff, it would just slow the phone to a crawl or freeze it.

And yeah, there's been other people with reboot issues. Most of them solved it by reflashing (with no wipe) or, if that didn't work, backing up their apps (Titanium Backup, baby!), wiping it all, and reflashing, then restoring the apps.

Yeah, I was wondering about that update, too. I mean, if it's not released, eh, it's not the end of the world. But it'd be nice if it does.
[G1 Android Development] slanteyez:
Hmm HUGE BUG happening to my G1!

So I've had Cyanogen 5.0.8 ROM on my G1 for a week now AND ITS AWESOME! But Ive encountered some kind of bug described here on the droid forums and other forums linked here

droidforums.net/forum/tech-issues-bug-reports-suggestions/26925-cant-receive-calls-home-button-not-working-cant-lock-3.html

We ALL have the same symptoms described here:

I CANNOT RECEIVE CALLS BUT CAN MAKE CALLS NO PROBLEM!

Home and search buttons vibrate, but do not work. Camera button does not work. Power button shuts the screen down, but does not lock the phone. Adjusting the volume with the screen shut down causes the screen to wake up. Brightness doesn't seem to adjust in a dark room (this might be my imagination). All ring tones

were set to "Silent". All incoming calls go strait to voicemail, and my phone has no knowledge a call was missed. Bluetooth seems like its hosed up.

Holding the power button for a long time brings up a menu with only option of "Power Off". No airline options available.

The only way i can fix is Factory reset BUT THEN COMES BACK WITH A FRESH WIPE AND RESET WITH NO APPS INSTALLED!
[G1 Android Development] feihtkrad:
Weird problem...not sure if I'm the first who encountered this...

My G1 has been living its life happily ever since the first CM was created...but something weird happened today..

G1 was connected to my comp, then all of a sudden I heard it vibrate, turns out it restarted itself...I was like :confused: and let it reboot. After the Nexus animation, it rebooted again :eek: I let it load again and waited...then finally it loaded to the home screen, it was really slow. Everything was sluggish and non-responsive. And there was checking sd error thing in the notification bar, and no option to connect to the SD card. I wiped everything and it still show that icon with the sd in the phone. I'm thinking there is problem with the SD card...but I don't know what...I really don't know what to do now. :confused:
[G1 Android Development] zelipukin:
had this once. had to repart. sd, wiped evrtn, reinst. cm, Titanium restore

had no problem ever since

I mean not only sd but all those 'bugs'

[G1 Android Development] feihtkrad:
Ahh I see, thanks for the info! I really had no idea what happened to it since it happened so randomly haha
[G1 Android Development] Fafhrd42:
Is anyone having a problem where the battery just randomly drains out in the space of a few hours while the phone is idle, and the Battery Activity thing in settings seems to randomly assign around 80% of the battery usage to an application that wasn't even running at the time?

This has happened to me two days running now, where the battery is at least 70% full, and then six hours later it's less than 15%, and the Usage thing says Google Sky Maps was responsible for 82% of the battery drain, and I haven't used that since saturday night, it's not present in the 6 background apps window, and it's not in the 'Running Services' section of Application Settings. I even grabbed a Task Killer just now to see if it might give me a better list of what's running, and that just showed Browser and Gesture Search.

I'm running CM 5.0.8 (and I've noticed the wonky battery activity assignments since CM 5 Test1, where it would show 'Maps' as draining the majority of the battery even when maps wasn't active. The battery wouldn't randomly suck dry, though).
[G1 Android Development] Phk:
I'm still using 5.0.7 and the only bug i have is network hangs from time to time and phone needs a reboot to have GPRS or WIFI again..

Is this bug fixed in 5.0.8 ?
[G1 Android Development] wjsturgis3:
I posted this several days ago in Brian Crook's port thread:

"Last evening I my battery was about 74%. When I got up this morning it had powered down with a dead battery. I had installed System Panel Pro and the battery history showed a drop from about 72% to 0 in about 45 minutes with NO accompanying cpu activity. I recharged the battery and am waiting to see if this happens again. This was the first time I have seen anything like this. I bought the phone used 8 months ago, I think it was new about 13 months ago.

In the meantime I have ordered a new battery via eBay."

I have not yet seen this again.
[G1 Android Development] Phk:
Geez, sorry guys, i forgot to tell that:

I made my battery last 5 times more just by activating "2G Only Networks" in the Android system configuration.

I know that GPRS is about half of the speed, but my battery boosted from 10h to 50h....

About the network connection problem, anyone experienced the connection loss on 5.0.7? It sucks having to reboot the phone randomly... :(
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
I used to get that too when I was 5.0.7. There's a cheap little app in the marketplace called Signal Refresh that basically reset all your network connections without having to reboot your phone if you got stuck in 2g or just couldn't get anything network related to function. It seemed to work for me so you might consider that.
[G1 Android Development] Phk:
That "extraordinaire", FatBoy :)

Thkx
[G1 Android Development] Phk:
Well unfortunately it seems that that app only turns the airplane mode on and off again.

I've tried that method but it did nothing.. maybe i should update to 5.0.8....

[G1 Android Development] Wigster:
Still getting the problem of my phone sending texts that have already been sent/received and replied to.

I turned off delivery/read reports, and I thought that had fixed the problem - but nope.

It seems to be it sends the messages again that have the envelope with the little clock int he corner of the envelope by them again after the phone is rebooted, even though they've already been sent.

Any news on a fix for this please? annoys other people, and my self.

Weird browser behavior on Google News page [SOLVED]

EDIT: Figured it out. Javascript wasn't enabled on the browser setting. :)

First, thank you for this great ROM and the ease with which it can be installed! My first time ever rooting/flashing a ROM and all went perfectly following the concise instructions posted on your wiki!

I have one issue and I am not sure if it's related to this ROM or something else but thought I'd ask.

The google.com is my default homepage. I usually go from the homepage to the google news section by clicking "News" from the google homepage. When I am on their news page and I try to click the link to an article, it does not take me to the article. The title to the article highlights like it's a link but the browser doesn't respond and just stays on the news page.

This only seems to happen on the google news page and only for the links to actual articles.

Can someone check and see if it's behaving the same way on your phone?

Thank you!

I know I need to update my sig...

No I haven't, I made 3 partitions 1 ext 3 for apps2sd, a swap partition, and the rest is the fat drive. What I will do is wait until V6 to see if it might work, because it takes some time to backup and copy everything from my phone :).

Help and Advice Greatly Appreciated (GApps FC)

I've ran into my first major snafu with this ROM today. I was at work and my phone was running extra slow so I decided to reboot it for a refresh. When my phone rebooted, I was greeted with the infamous "The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" force close message. It seems now, every Google app force closes on me now. Some force close but allow me to continue to use the app after pressing the button (calendar, browser, maps). Others force close and I'm not able to use the app at all (Gmail, Gtalk, Market). I have no idea why this is doing it and now that I think about it, this may have been brewing since Saturday. On Saturday, my Gmail (only) kept force closing upon launch after a reboot, the same as what is going on now. I did a little googling and read about clearing the data and re-syncing and that worked for me up until today. I've already tried that again several times along with reboots in between, clearing the data for all the g-apps and still no dice.

Does anybody know 1. why this keeps happening and 2. how to remedy this situation? Any advice and tips on how to get my g-apps working again are greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance.
