I tried going through this thread but there are sooo many pages. I flashed this and I don't have a market and I can't setup my account so i don't have any contacts. I have wiped a bunch of times and tried installing the rom several times, is there something i am missing? I have a mt3g
[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
You need to download and install the gapps. This is just flashed on top of the ROM.
[G1 Android Development] pek0:
where can I get those I tried searching for the market app but i couldn't find it in the android market website.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Look at page 1 of this thread. Read the instructions. There is clearly a download link for the google addon. That will have the market.

question. when i try to listen to music through my headphones, it sounds distorted. when i take out the headphones, it sounds fine. and i know the headphones are good, tested them elsewhere.

any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] androidmonkey:
Is it possible to do a format of system/data on the phone? Wipe only does a factory restore. I want to format/remove everything on the phone and start fresh with the new ROM. I flashed a HTC_IME modded keyboard via recovery and I suspect that its staying on my phone somehow even after doing a wipe and reflashing with a new ROM.
[G1 Android Development] alan090:
the rom formats your system partition on install - like every single rom ever
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
The problem with assuming it formats the entire system is that Cyanogen has a backup tool script that installs and runs before the system format. Certain proprietory apks are backed up then restored after the system format. This allows one to keep their google apps after flashing. I suggest doing and ls for /system/app and erasing any offending apps.
[G1 Android Development] androidmonkey:
I went in Recovery console and I dont have a /system/app directory.
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
If in recovery, you need to mount the file systems first. Just do

mount -a
ls /system/app

I decided to re-download the ROM and put it back on - same problem - whenever I want to add a shortcut anywhere on the screen, it places the shortcut on the top left corner of the screen...Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know a solution - other than just put it in the top-left and then move it to the appropriate spot?

GPS

So after a day of flashing various roms and playing with radios, I still have problems getting a gps lock in 5.0.8 (Even in SuperEclair 8.6). I can flash 5.0.7 (Even in SuperE 1.0.2) and get a lock normally, but it refuses to get a lock in either maps or the genie widget in .8. Is anyone else having this sort of problem? I've been looking through the threads and I seem to be the only one having this problem... I've done pretty much all I know to do, and I'm out of ideas though. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[G1 Android Development] androidmonkey:
Thanks, havent used linux commands in awhile. Whats the switch that shows only a certain amount of entries to fill the screen? Default list everything and you cant scroll up in console.
[G1 Android Development] tdo722:
how's the speed compare to say Donut?

Man I've been using Super D rom and it's fast and fast. How is this compares? Don't want to start over.
[G1 Android Development] dcheng11:
great to see the thread back cyanogen :D

i'm downloading 5.0.8 right now, and i can't wait. thanks again for the great work. and i really like the new sig (unless it's been there and i haven't noticed). great to be able to navigate to stuff so easily. thanks again!
[G1 Android Development] androidmonkey:
if you dont want to start over, then do a nandroid backup, flash this rom, try it out, if you dont like it restore your backup....

easy as pie.
[G1 Android Development] Izord:
This is about 50% faster than Super D and much more stable with some really cool new features like swipe and multitouch in Gallery. and Much better battery life.

ebook readers & soft kbd

same here with FBReader (russian books, dont know about Eng)

so this is not particular app behavior.

had to went back to t4 bc

ebook reader = 80% my G1 time

soft kbd was fixed by reinstalling SmartKeyboardPro (I use this)

no help for FBReader
[G1 Android Development] lookout4theyeti:
are you sure your thinking of super "d" and not super "e"?
[G1 Android Development] Izord:
ya super d has a regular gallery, no swipe, no mt. And this is about 147% more polished than super e. Look at pershoot's work on the kernel at droidbasement. The quality control is in a different league.

It's like little league vs. the majors.
[G1 Android Development] lookout4theyeti:
Oh cool, I haven't been on CM since the early 5.0.7 test versions, cant wait to try this out now
[G1 Android Development] androidmonkey:
i just flashed 5.0.8. Full wipe and everything. I dont see Swipe. Are you talking about the Swipe virtual keyboard or something else?

ALSO, I dont see the Mic icon for Speech To Text when doing SMS, how come its not included (its a new feature in Eclair).
[G1 Android Development] billquinn1:
He is talking about swiping left and right to go to previous next picyure in gallery app. The keyboard is spelled Swype.
[G1 Android Development] androidmonkey:
Ah, ok. Any ideas about Speech to Text?
[G1 Android Development] bagrus:
the latest stable version has incomprehensible trash in console, FBReader does not work.
[G1 Android Development] Babyface1249:
So ever since this whole changing notification colors emerged in spare parts, I've had one major issue that I'm hoping someone can help out with. I have the text set to black for notifications as the pull down bar has a white background. However, I also have a theme with a black status bar, so when I receive a notification, the text that scrolls over the black status bar is black text and totally unreadable. I could set it to white, but then I can't see it when I pull down the notification tray. Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] guitargler:
Swipe is referring to scrolling through photos in Gallery. you can slide left or right instead of pressing the buttons. Swype has to be installed by your own skills, hah. As far as the mic icon.. I'm pretty sure it's just part of the keyboard. If it doesn't show up, go into Language and Keyboard settings and enable Voice Input on the Android keyboard. Then click the icon there.

Cheers :D
[G1 Android Development] mejorguille:
Do a reboot and it will be fixed. Notification colors are in framework-res.apk, and to see any changes in that a reboot is ALWAYS needed.

PS. Notice how I capitalized a single word lbcoder-style. Not making fun of him or anything but it's a better way to get my message across lol.
[G1 Android Development] androidmonkey:
No such option in Language and Keyboard for "Enable Voice Input"....
[G1 Android Development] Babyface1249:
I'm aware that a reboot is needed in order to see changes. My issue is that if I select black text, it doesn't show up against a black status bar, and white text will not show up against a white notifications tray background. In my opinion, there needs to be a way to select color of text when scrolling through the status bar, and a separate option for the notifications tray

[G1 Android Development] isikh:
Home screen restarts when going back

This has been happening since 5.0.8 test four and the latest 5.0.8..after I use a couple of apps, say I'm in gmail or using the browser, when I press the home button it takes a few seconds because the launcher/home screen seems to restart. It has been happening with stock anderwebs, market anderwebs, and launcher pro beta. I reinstalled the rom various times. I wiped everything. Fixed permissions. Tried everything I know of and this still happens. Anyone know a fix? ANyone having this problem? I thought I read this was fixed on the changelog, but I guess not...Again, when I press home after using an app the launcher takes a few seconds to reset. Ex: It goes to stock and then loads up my icons and all

EDIT: EDIT: I think this is the bug that he said was fixed, from changelog: "Long standing "disappearing icons" Launcher bug fixed"

This still happens when I press home icons disappear a few mins and then come back with my settings
[G1 Android Development] tdo722:
OK, you guys talked me into it. I hope this will be faster than 1.6 Donut running Super D ROM.

By the way, I have setup my sdcard as ext3 for apps2sd. Hope that is okay.

Please say you are on a G1 and not a MyTouch
[G1 Android Development] koreancanuck:
It's not the ROMs fault, but rather the G1/MT3G's lack of RAM. I know cyanogen does not recommend swap, but I find that CM5.0.8 based ROMs fly with swap. And swap does get rid of your home screen loading problems.
[G1 Android Development] isikh:
okay. I remember I created a 96 mb swap partition with amon ra's recovery. Could i just use the market app swapper to enable swap? Also how much mb swap and what swappiness would be ideal (HTC Dream/G1 btw)
[G1 Android Development] androidmonkey:

Yea I don't have mine over clocked as well....

I don't know... its just weird to me i guess coming from

Super E , superteam, super bad rom's and having 30-35+MB

of free mem. maybe thats why my batter life was ehhhh...

But im getting pretty snappy responses and i'm happy

(WAY BETTER THEN the 5.0.7 test and stable builds) :)

7hrs of use on Edge only and my battery is at 80% :p

Hell yea!
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Quick question.

I've got the launcher locked in memory via Spare Parts and am NOT running CC or Swap. I've heard in a few places Cyan doesn't recommend Swap (though I have yet to find where he actually said that, but I digress...). But what does everyone think about CC being enabled? Good? Bad?

Just asking because, occasionally when I come back from the Market app, especially, it takes a few seconds to load my home screen. I don't run a ton of widgets or anything and the only notifications I have set are for Gmail, one IMAP email account (every 15 min) and my calendar. No Facebook notifications or Twitter (I just check manually).

Open to suggestions. Thanks in advance. Other than that, I have had no problems at all with 5.0.8 final. Lovin' it.

Download firerat's patch, follow instructions :) Much less hassle than swapper since swapper will reset your swap to 0 for every reboot.
[G1 Android Development] mekkelrichards:
I applied his script with the all command, but it didn't seem to enable swap. Is there something else I need to do?
[G1 Android Development] koreancanuck:
Did you reboot to apply the changes?
[G1 Android Development] deuse:
Did you restart your phone after?

Go in to terminal and type free and that will show you if the swap is working.

Linpack?

So i just switched from super e to test 5.0.8, noticed a drop in linpack scores, however a boost in overall user experience. It would be nice to have a good device on paper, but using a fast g1 is just refreshing... any thoughts/suggestions as to why this phenomena is?
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Well, I don't know why, but lately Runkeeper has problems getting a good GPS lock. Haven't tried with 5.0.8 final yet, but we'll see.

Is SuperD much quicker than stock 1.6 or than this 2.1 ?
[G1 Android Development] Jinson7:

[G1 Android Development] krylon360:
K, on Cyan forums, and IRC, Cyan stated that they Battery % indicator was NOT causing the bat drain. There's no way it could. He was just tired of people sitting there baby sitting their phones watching it drain by % and posting "my phone just went from 99% to 70% in 5 min. wah wah wah..."

It was turned off by default in T6 I believe. You can turn it back on in Spare Parts.
[G1 Android Development] djm25:
better safe than sorry .. back up your important data pic,vids,music,ect then charge battery to 100 % then wipe all 5 at least thats my proceder
[G1 Android Development] krylon360:
Part should be Swap = 0, ext2 = 512 , fat32 = remaining, then upgrade ext2 to ext3, then ext3 to ext4.
[G1 Android Development] rpmccormick:
I still wish someone made restoring after a wipe easier. 5 min? What are you talking about? It takes more like 8 hours of work to restore after a wipe...

1) Have to go through setup which takes at least 5 min extra after first boot.

2) Have to open up Market and install every app that I want to auto-update.

3) Have to open Astro and enable extra icons.

4) Have to reinstall every backed-up app from Astro (apps that I don't need to update through market).

5) Have to set vibrate + ringtone for: GTalk, GVoice, Text, GMail, and Phone.

6) Have to login with Facebook, Where, Latitude, VoiceRecorder, SMS-Backup.

7) Have to re-bind Bluetooth and WiFi with multiple devices.

8) Have to re-layout each of my home screen icons and widgets (this takes like 2 hours alone as I have 50 apps and never use the drawer)

9) Have to go through every settings, spare parts, GTalk settings, GVoice settings, GMail settings, and settings for all my other 50 apps.

10) Have to go through list of apps and decide which go internal and which go on SD.

...and after all that, I still lose my SMS and CallHistory logs. That's a little more than 5 min bro! Do you use 0 apps and run everything at default settings or what?

I don't want to go through the trouble of wiping.

Wiping takes to long.

etc...

If you don't want to go through the extra effort to keep your phone working well, then maybe you should just run stock android. Don't wanna do that, then don't complain about it here. You are only causing yourself more trouble in the long run, and in turn, causing more trouble for the devs and people who have/want to solve legit problems. These CM threads get to big to have all of these, "blah blah, crashed, I didn't wipe and I use swap and a task manager." So you basically did everything Cyan and the senior members and other devs say not to do.

And let's be realistic, 8 hours to restore after a wipe? Come on. Really. Even before I discovered Titanium Backup it only took me about an hour-maybe two if my WiFi was running slow to get everything right after a wipe.

Save the devs and yourself the trouble. When a new update comes out, set aside an hour or two(or 8) and do it properly.
[G1 Android Development] rpmccormick:
Sorry to go OffTopic, but this is important for all people that are repeatedly forced to wipe I think.

1) I use Astro to backup my apps. I do not use it to restore apps that get updated with new features often (GMaps, Where, Wapedia, others) because if you do that, then the market will not notify you when there is an update available. Furthermore, your restored apps don't appear under the Markets "downloads" tab at all, so even manually checking for updates is a pain. Is that not true with Titanium backup?

2) I don't care that much about SMS since it all gets backed up to GMail anyway, but losing the Call-Log sucks because smartdial wont have a history to sort by or bank #'s and such that I don't want to save to my contact, but still like only having to type the first few digits of and then clicking it from my history.

3) What about the other 8 points? Specifically, is there a way to backup/restore your ADW icons/wigets? How about your custom-ringtone assigned to EVERY app that has notifications (Phone, GMail, GTalk, GVoice, SMS, FaceBook, PageOnce, Finance, Latitude, etc)

I know how to use my phone.

Wiping is a royal pain.

I can't see how that would be untrue for anyone that actually does use their phone.

TITANIUM BACKUP

Backs up all settings associated with whatever apps(ringtones, login info etc.)

Can be set to run automatically on a schedule so your backup is never out of date.

BACKS UP MARKET LINKS. Your apps will show up right in the market. Will show up when they get an update in the market. Just like when you first installed them.

Can back up system settings, like wifi and BT. Some have had trouble with it but I haven't.

Haven't even looked to see if it would back up my home app set up, but how long does that really take? Hell, use gesture search and gesture search bar and you will forget that you even have more than one home screen.
[G1 Android Development] rpmccormick:
Thanks! Seriously. With that info I will try out Titanium. I didn't realize it did anything more than Astro App Backup/Restore. I will also look in to Gesture search which I have never heard of. I don't think it will really eliminate my multiple-hour setup of home screens though. I really like having a page with icons and widgets for Settings/Utils1/Utils2/Home/Internet/Media/Games. Dragging each and every icon out of the drawer and then organizing them all is not a quick task.

I'm done now. Sorry to CM or anyone else who things I'm OT, but if these 3 posts and 2 reply's make other CM users tryout Titanium, I think it was beneficial to the community.

FYI: I do always wipe, and yes, I do always spend at least 8 hours spanning the 2-5 days after my wipe before I feel like my phone is fully configured again.

CM Eclair build is the best around, as fast as donut ROMs. The only setback might be that donut ROMs have better battery life, but other than that, eclair ROMs own. But of course, everyone has their own preferences :)
[G1 Android Development] tdo722:
1.6 in my opinion was meant to be on G1. Although Eclair is fine for other faster phones.
[G1 Android Development] tdo722:
I'm sorry. I meant that G1 and Donut goes hand in hand. G1 and Eclair, not a chance.

I did a very simple setup with no fancy pants moves involved. no swap, ext3 512mb, the rest fat32. That's it. no overclock needed. no compcached enabled. Like i said a very basic setup of eclair just as I would for Donut to compare speed.

IMHO, speed is the most important thing that a phone need besides battery. A phone with tons of features and slow as hell ain't gonna make me more productive. It will only make my day more stressful. Screaming fast speed and good battery life and with just the norm features. weehoo, makes the perfect phone.

SMS vibration disabled?

Although I haven't read every page in this thread, I didn't see my problem mentioned by anyone...

Since the 5.0.7 test series my phone will not vibrate when I receive a text message. I blamed it on the test series so wasn't too concerned. I flashed 5.0.7 final on top without wipe. Problem was still there. So last week a flashed 5.0.8 test4 WITH full wipe (I wiped everything but the battery data), and a reformatted sd-card. So I thought a clean system, but you guessed it, the problem is still there. I flashed 5.0.8 final on top of test4 (without wipe), but that didn't fix it either.

Before asking, yes it is enabled in the settings. Both in main settings and in the sms settings.

The phone does vibrate when I get a call, in games and in Android itself (unlock, long-press, etc.), so its obviously not a hardware problem.

If someone can help me that would be great, because I have to keep my sound off for most of the day and thus see a lot of text messages sometimes hours after receiving them :( I love this ROM, and everything else is flawless (even battery life is much better than 5.0.7), but this could be a deal-breaker for me...
