I too get the same issues. It seems to have shown up in 8.5. I can't narrow it down as to why it does it, but hopefully one of these suggestions will work for me as well because now it seems to happen more than ever (after I had just posted it seemed to be less often)

I upgraded to 5.0.8 from 5.0.7 without a wipe. Ran great for several days until I uninstalled a bunch of useless apps from the Market yesterday (6-8 apps). I uninstalled using the default interface. After uninstallation completed my device froze and wouldn't boot up, just stayed on the CM boot screen. If I restore from an older nandroid backup, it works fine. But if I wipe and install 5.0.8 it never finishes booting. Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] mdneilson:
Nevermind. Looks like I've got it now. IDK why it agrees with me suddenly.
[G1 Android Development] Ajax1885:
I'm going to go ahead and flash Amon_Ra's latest and see what happens. Failing that, I guess a new phone is in my future. Either that or I am forever condemned from having a new Cyanogen ROM on my phone.

How sad.

Edit: The new Recovery didn't work out. It changed nothing. I am the only person on XDA who 5.0.8 will not boot for for seemingly no reason. :(
[G1 Android Development] mdneilson:
Is there a way that I can remove ringtones, notifications, etc from the installed ROM and have them not appear in the list in the system settings? (or is this a bug?)

Removed via adb shell

Ok I downloaded a couple of live wallpapers from the market and was able to use them, but whenever I go into a app/bropwser then go back home the regular wallpaper appears instead of the live wallpaper any clues to what it may be?
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
unzip, extract the two files within, place on root of sdcard

this is firerat's live wallpapers fix patch, works for me
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
I have a 'patch' for that

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=679572

basically it turns off Hardware3D support, but at the same time turns it back on, but only for apps which have the Android Permission Write External Storage.

so things like Gallery3D and Games still get full 3D support, but Live wallpapers only use software3D
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
You can use Root Explorer (paid app in market, but most definitely worth it) to navigate to the system/media folder and delete whatever sounds you want. A simple reboot and they are officially gone.
[G1 Android Development] russbvta:
"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. "

Im having almost the same problem except with a full wipe the phone will boot and work fine. Its only when I try to reboot that it wont get past the g1 screen. Hmmm

camera problem

i installed 5.0.8 on a Magic 32A the other day and soon found that whenever i took a picture or two, the phone "automagically" rebooted itself. from the other article in this thread, i realized it could be a problem caused by /data/data/com.android.camera/shared_prefs/com.android.camera_preferences.xml. so i pulled the file and based on the pictures i took before, i changed the resolution to 2016x1344 and all camera problems were gone. (i don't recall what was the resolution) hopefully, someone from Caynogenmod team can see this and fixed it in the future release.

camera broke

Hey, I've had CM's latest for a few days now. Yesterday I attempted to use the camera. When I clicked on the camera icon, I got a force close. Ive never had that problem before. I did a fix permissions from the console, no change. Ive attach a log file.
[G1 Android Development] chief2842:
Thanks I was looking for this lastnight guess i typed the wrong words in search.
[G1 Android Development] chief2842:
Quick question looking at the script seems like I want to just do this part "give WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE ( Gallery3D and Most games ) access to graphics"

Is there a way I can do this without applying anything else in the script.

Can I just go in terminal and type everything manually?
[G1 Android Development] mdneilson:
This is basically what I did. Removed via ADB shell, but on reboot the system treated them as if they were still there. Except they weren't, so it played a different noise than the one selected. I will have to experiment with my new flash as the last was a bit buggy.
[G1 Android Development] samsci:
I was on 1.5.2 with Cyan 5.0.8 and had no issues. So it is not the recovery that is causing you problems. I upgraded to to the latest recovery though just to have it. It sounds like you have another issue going on.

Edit: I just saw you updated to the latest recovery as well, so it definately is not the recovery :)
[G1 Android Development] raven_5x:
Screen won't time out on CM 5.0.8 stable!

I set my screen timeout to 15sec, 30 sec, and 1min... and none of them will time out the screen. It's causing a real drain on my batt since sometimes I forget to hit the red button to sleep the screen.

Anyone else having this issue? And how do I get it fixed? :confused:

UPDATE: I just reset my phone... seems to work now.
[G1 Android Development] j.books:
enabling compcache causes reboot

I think someone else reported this way back in this thread but when I enable compcache, the phone reboots. after rebooting, compcache is enabled. I would just leave compcache on all the time but I like to reset the swapped cache from time to time, so I turn it off then back on.

anyone else have this, and is there any fix?
[G1 Android Development] xPreSiDenT:
I've been having this weird issue of the download notifications constantly showing up for apps I installed days ago whenever I install some new apps through appbrain or market. the problem started in CM5.0.7 and its continued in 5.0.8. I didn't wipe for 5.0.8 and am on G1. They keep appearing with any new notification, and go away if I shutdown and then powerup the phone, but reappear on the installation of new apps. Anyone have any idea about this?

btw my G1s LED is constantly red... without blinking. Its like that all the time and only changes when I have unread sms. Is this normal?
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:

[G1 Android Development] grafyman:
question

this rom can work in myTouch 1.2 or fender lte???????

thanks.....
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
You need to flash a kernel over the top of the rom

I belive the kernel is in the op
[G1 Android Development] grafyman:
i already rooted with guide posted by crypysmoker then loaded stock radio and spl from Cursordroid along with latest recovery from amon_ra
[G1 Android Development] Ajax1885:
Since it's originally quoting my post, too, I feel the problem is somehow related to mine as it's a very close symptom (only difference being that I outright can't boot into 5.0.8 period.) Any idea why it might be looping like that?

Also, I took the time to reformat and re-partition my SD card too. No difference.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
Same logcat?

Looks like its a framework problem

This is a total guess but cm508 is right on the edge of system size

I belive stock only leaves 40k free

If you have 'ran out' of spare nand blocks you might not have enought space

Its only a guess, had a few pints

You could try removing the bootanimation from the zip, resign and flash

If you have trouble doing that I'm sure some kind soul will help you out

I can't in a taxi on my way to get more drunk :?
[G1 Android Development] Ajax1885:
One better than that, is there a way to free up more NAND blocks?
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
You dont have to flash anything extra. Since the new kernel, all you have to do is flash any rom based on the newest cyan kernel and it will run. This, chromatic, Chef's slide, a bunch of hero roms.

So yes, Just follow the instructions and it will work fine.

And im glad you didnt have a problem with my guide. Even me re-reading it I dont understand it lol.
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
Nope.. Luckily, Cyan incorporated all the drivers needed into the latest kernel ;) SO all we have to do is flash. Made it much easer then have to shove a boot.img in there for every rom hoping everything will work lol

[G1 Android Development] Tom in AZ:
WOWOWOW!!! My phone froze on me mid day, I could not understand what what was the deal for about 20 mins or so. I finally did a full wipe and a Nandroid restore to CM 5.0.7 DS, and it all came back online. Is this issue going to affect CM 5.0.7 DS? Not to big of a deal now that I know what is going on. My wife had a good laugh, but she knows that I can't wait for a new phone like the Galaxy S Pro.

Upgrading without wipe REALLY created a lot of problems.

**Anyone looking to upgrade to 5.0.8 from 5.0.7 -- WIPE FIRST!**
[G1 Android Development] mdneilson:
You did a wipe and fresh install? I had a lot of problems upgrading from 5.0.7 to 5.0.8. I wiped everything but sdcard/sd-ext contents, cleared cache and dalvik before getting a good fresh flash.
[G1 Android Development] ukG1freak:
I've noticed alot of issues with the Market recently, Will not load pages properly, always stating there's a connection error when I've got a full 3g signal / using wifi.

It's strange, Tried Fix Permissions, via terminal and recovery, tried moving the cache about internally / externally to SD, hmm...

HTC Dream,

Latest SPL / RADIO (cba to dig out info, too early)

CyanogenMod 2.1 ROM, 5.0.8 final

Apart from that it's running sweet as a nut, can't really fault it apart from this one intermittent issue!
[G1 Android Development] califrag:
had the same reoccurring issues with market every time i flashed the new roms. found this bit of info and seems to work after doing this:

basically, open dialer, type in *#*#2432546#*#* (don't need to press anything after entering the last "*" it will automatically accept the input) and should be fixed.
[G1 Android Development] brownbomba:
Yes, I did. The last time I used my cam was june 3rd so I went back to a nandroid that i had from may 28 and camera was still broken. I wipe everything again did a fresh restall and camera is still broken.

Anyone worked out how to fix the battery life on these newer cm roms?

Currently, in standby mode I'm lucky to see 12hrs battery.

Also, since updating from 4.2.15 I have had flaky reception (for phone calls), any ideas on how to fix?
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
if you search this thread using the option above, you will find plenty of ideas, plus it helps if we know what kind of device you have, and some other things, like in my signature
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Assuming that you have a G1....

I get about 21 hours with moderate use on CM5. Stock G1 battery from over a year ago. I recommend you get a new OEM battery. Stay away from the cheap ebay batteries, you will only wish you got something better.

You can try using SetCPU to setup profiles (easier than it sounds).

Sleep/Standby - 122 Min / 122 Max

Power < 100% 245 Min / 528 Max

And finally...I always keep "Use 2g networks only" checked and if I need more speed I can uncheck it...or turn on wifi.
[G1 Android Development] mark manning:
I am going to assume that you are using a g1

if so....

flash this file to help with your "flaky reception" its fir the mytouch tho may not help?!?

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/files/file/53-magic-audiofixzip/

As for the battery you may wanna try letting your battery fully discharge meaning run your phone till it shuts off. Then fully charge the battery, once you have done that. Boot in to recovery and then wipe your battery stats.

Let me know if this helps
[G1 Android Development] ukG1freak:

[G1 Android Development] Remanifest:
Something really weird was happening with me. I wiped before upgrade, as I always do, and I've found that ANY rom I try that is based off of CM 5.0.8 (including the original), I experience force closure from the market right away. I can't even get it to load up... so I went back to CM 5.0.7. Do you have any idea whether this trick would work to solve that problem?

Any insight on this would be awesome. Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
after installing 5.0.8, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache,fix permissions, reboot, and reboot again, and then reboot again, this stuff was happening to me too, but after a few reboots over a few days it straightened itself out
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
Fix_permissions usually fixes fc issues

If that dosn't do the trick then you could try setcpu, making sure that the min clock is at least 128 ( the min of 122 could explain the random freezing people have been reporting )
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
and what he said
[G1 Android Development] mark manning:
good thing too, i posted the wrong link anyways

i searched all over for what i thought i was posting but couldn't find what i wanted

this is for magics and mytouches but who knows may help for a G1 too

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/files/file/53-magic-audiofixzip/
[G1 Android Development] califrag:
Thanks but the original credit goes to imfloflo or wherever they found that info out at.. i really have no idea what the code does or why it works, all I know is it's one of the most random things I've seen about the ROM.

Not sure if it will fix the force closes, I think this is code is to fix the 'backing out' issue when you try to install\upgrade an app and it keeps backing out to the main apps list.

try some of the other suggestions first then try this - i dont think this code will hurt anything if entered

it would be interesting to know what all codes can be entered into the dialer and what they do..

Does anyone have a problem where, most of the time its after browsing, where if you try and launch the camera app it just gives you "Cannot connect to camera error"? It doesn't happen often, only when I actually am in a hurry to take a picture, reason why I always forget to check the logcat. :(

Anyone else having trouble with Root Explorer (Estrongs) on 5.0.8? when I try to enable it, I get "Sorry, test failed, this feature cannot be used on your phone" error toast.
[G1 Android Development] mark manning:
why don't you just use astro file manager or linda file manager?? both are in the market place
[G1 Android Development] Shady Gambino:
Linda doesn't let me edit system files from my phone, (unless I'm mustaken, I don't see any option to mount /data, /system) and last I checked, astro doesn't either, and I don't have adb set up on my laptop to edit and push the file. Estrongs file Explorer let me do that with 5.0.7 but not .8.

I'm looking up how to do it through terminal, it's just rather annoying when I could do it so easily with Estrongs.
[G1 Android Development] koreancanuck:
Yep. I thought it was just me. I'm using Root Explorer instead which works fine for me.

I get funny colors in the camera on my HTC Dream since I've installed the CM5.0.8:

Since then, I went back to SuperD and I was surprised to see that the issue was still there, even though I never encountered an issue before in SuperD.

I'm now on SuperE and I still have the issue.

Is it a known issue ? Is there a special memory area dedicated to the camera that is not erased by a full wipe ? Is there a way to fix this ?

EDIT: I found nothing on the issue tracker about this, but I can't open an issue as I'm not running CM anymore. To precise things: the preview gets the wrong colors, but the final image also has those wrong colors. I seems to affect the bright areas more.

If I download the new versions of adw.launcher, is there a way to stop it listing the two android.launcher, and adw.launcher? I'm guessing I need to rename the file or something but I'm a bit unsure how to do this.

Or does the system not keep the old ADW in memory? ie is it a pointless task?

Nice work

Overall it runs fine on my G1. Haven't seen any issues that would keep it from being a daily driver.

I did brick a phone though. Forgot to upgrade the radio before the danger spl. If you have to root, your radio is downgraded. Oops. Bought another next day and flashed away. I'll buy a broken screen G1 for cheap and build another working one.

Family was over and they had some stock MT3g's. I showed them my CM5 G1, ooh, ahh, wow! Not only more impressive, but faster. Also they said they wanted a keyboard! Ha, Ha!

Others had iPhone 3Gs with latest upgrade. Dropped calls, crashes, missed calls etc. Looks neat, now they can do folders and multi-tasking. Thanks to Android, Apple will have to step up the dev!
