I've tried jit/swap/comcach also. But heres the main question. if I revert back to 5.0.8 stable.. can I flash the NEW google apps with it that came with this release.. thanx hoping for a quick response
[G1 Android Development] mulletcutter:
Same as foo...reset will make the apps I download to an android icon.

everything is fine on this rom except that my text messages are not coming through..i'm using mytouch..anyone else having this problem or know a fix?? thanks.
[G1 Android Development] sleepy3194:
Its a known issue, theirs no fix for it yet
[G1 Android Development] mxsybarite:
It doesn't make sense to me either. CM5 doesn't get deleted or any other zip for that matter. The GApps went missing too. Seems like anything FroYo related disappears after flashing
[G1 Android Development] mxsybarite:
I don't think you can. It was designed to run on FroYo.
[G1 Android Development] beeboy1985:
Bricked?

I was running the fix permissions script included with rom manager in attempt to fix some intermittent force close issues. I received a text message popup from Handset messaging app. I closed off of that and got a force close on that app a moment later.When i hit force close the phone locked up for several min.

I at that time was only able to get the phone to turn off by removing the battery.

I am now unable to boot into recovery, as i haven't been able to since installing CM6 and only able to boot to fastboot mode. the os will not load.

Any advice would be great.

The only other app running that i know of was Swapper 2 that was set to use my fat partition. (not even sure if i had that setup correctly)

Should I install the new ADW launcher from market or website?

I already installed from market and it works great. It also has new feature the one from sense where you view all pages and can jump from different screens.

The only problem is how to unistall the default 0.9.0 ADW laucher.
[G1 Android Development] sleepy3194:
Try using Root Explorer to unistall ADW
[G1 Android Development] gx.:
The same thing occurred with me. No recovery was available, and phone was stuck at G1 screen.

The only thing available was fastboot (Camera+Power)

I took out my sdcard, reformatted to fat32, and copied RC29 DREAIMG.nbh onto it. After going back into fastboot, it detected the RC29 image and I was able to restore the system that way.

i dont know if there have been any OTA updates for CM but for some reason all but one of the problems i have been having are gone, iv been using CM6 RC1 as a daily driver without any major issues. the only issue i still have is after downloading/installing something from the market it crashes :confused:
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Blah blah blah...you're taking up "too much space on the thread" with your "crying" and lack of "useful information." Plus, remember, you didn't say 'thanks for a good ROM," either.

It's a release candidate thread. Get over it. Man, you sound worse than Steve Jobs in a keynote presentation that's not going his way (wait, that's every presentation he's given...).

"Thank you. That is all" :D
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Totally cool that you're "new to this"; we all were at one point.

So, it sounds like you're already rooted (from the fact that you seem to have a recovery), so I'll skip the rooting process junk. I would highly suggest, though, installing Amon Ra's latest recovery (here is the link, if you need it), if you don't have it or installing Clockwork Recovery. I prefer Amon Ra, but it's just a preference.

As far as your error, I would just redownload the file. Probably just got a bad file download is all (it happens). Also, I would stray away from CM 6 for right now, as a daily driver. Go with the stable version of 5.0.8 (which is Android 2.1/Eclair). You'll find you'll like it better if you use your phone a lot. CM 6 is great, don't get me wrong, but it's a release candidate still and there are still some definite bugs.

As far as getting 5.0.8 set up and running well, I've got my setup in my sig, which works great for both my MT3G and my wife's G1. If you need specifics on setting up swap and enabling it or how to get SetCPU to the correct settings, search this thread (via the "Search this thread" button at the top of the page) for either "swapper2" or "setcpu" and you should find some of my posts on the subjects. If you can't find 'em, just reply to this with your questions and I'll walk you through it.

Hope that helps you out.
[G1 Android Development] samsci:
What version of the Gapps did you load? I know that in previous versions, they had issues with the market. Latest version supposedly works better. Also, are your apps internal or external?

I had issues with the market until I made my apps internal and then the market issues went away. Once I moved the apps to internal, the market worked fine and everything is pretty smooth with it now.
[G1 Android Development] samsci:
It's weird that this is only happening on Froyo. I have not read where anyone else is experiencing the same issue. I have not seen it occur myself. Download Root Explorer and see if using it you can see the files. Perchance they are there, just not showing up using whatever file manager your currently using.

To be honest, technically, this should not happen.
[G1 Android Development] mulletcutter:
I had the fc on the market...i wiped, flashed 6.0 and that's it....no gapps, and I've had no problems with the market. Give it a shot.

my_former_self,

Nice reply to someone looking for help. These forums are filled with people full of themselves expecting everyone to know as much as they do. Your comment about us all being new at some point is right on. I am still fairly new and horrible at adb so far. I spent dozens of hours researching things and many times found conflicting guides/steps. Great to see someone genuinely caring and trying to help new folks.

lawrencium2002,

Since I am trying to figure all this out too, the only advice I can offer is try naming it "update" only. No .zip, no quotation marks. Sometimes Windows put another .zip on it and you have update.zip.zip. Works for me. This may not even be close to your problem, but a possibility.

Ken
[G1 Android Development] samsci:
Ken, Couple of things about adb. There is some good info out there on adb commands and how it all works. Once you set it all up, you can also type in adb from the dos prompt and it will give you the list of commands and the command sequence you can use as well. It was a trial and error for me to figure it out, but once I learned the basics, it was fairly easy to use from the command prompt.

Hope that helps as well. :)

Picasa web sync?

Does this ROMs gallery support Picasa web sync...i cant seem to get it to work with CM 6...am I missing something?
[G1 Android Development] OFinch:
yea.. when I reverted back to 5.0.8 stable.. the new GAPPS didn't work. but back on 5.0.8 stable and it's working flawlessly. anyways, my question was can someone get the wallpapers from 6.0.0 r1 and post them up by any chance? that would be great, I love the wallpapers on the new CM. Thanx for whoever does this. Have a Based day
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Thanks, Ken. I appreciate that. I came from the original XBOX modding scene as well as the PSP and Wii hacking scenes (I'm retired from all 3 now). I've been a "newbie" plenty of times before. I also work in IT and I try to take the time to explain things out to people, even if the info seems "easy" to me ("It's OK, ma'am, just make sure the printer is ON first next time before you try printing, OK?"). It's the primary reason I joined XDA last year. I used to just peruse for info here, but after I'd been at it for awhile, I figured I ought to "give back" a little. I always hated the replies of the people who were "full of themselves", too. Even if someone didn't search (which, yes, can be annoying), as long as they were politely asking a question, there's just no reason for the condescension. Community is community in my opinion. I'm just trying to do my part and I'm glad it's noticed. Thanks again for the kind words, bro.

Ken's right, lawrencium. It is a possibility, depending on what recovery you are using (some are very finicky with filenames). Give that a try. If you have "hide extensions for known filetypes" checked in Windows' "Folder & Search Options" under the "View" tab, which it is by default, the extension won't show up, which will result in what Ken said about it actually being *.zip.zip instead of just *.zip.

Again, if that doesn't work, try redownloading the file again. If that doesn't work, try flashing a different recovery (again, I suggest Amon Ra's).

Battery drain

I love this rom, however.... I had a full charge going into work and when I left work my phone was dead. I have gps and mobile networks turned off. Why is it draining the battery so? This has happened twice. The first time I thought it was because I had gps and everything on, so I turned it off for a test and still went dead. I did not use it all day but one call and 2 text messages and that was it.
[G1 Android Development] DBISGOD:
Battery life is good on mine, if you just installed it, the sync process for everything to download can drain the battery pretty bad for the first few hours, after that it should be better.

Does anyone have a problem with trying to use other keyboards? On my MT3G 1.2, I've installed Swype, SwiftKey, and Graffiti, the later two from the Market, but it seems like selecting them in the Language and Keyboard settings doesn't do anything. The only keyboard that appears when inputting text is the stock Android keyboard, which I'm not particularly fond of. This happens after rebooting as well. I installed CM6 with a full wipe, but my SD card wasn't wiped, should I have done that?
[G1 Android Development] zeroplace:
This is not a new install. I have had it a few days now.
[G1 Android Development] mxsybarite:
It really shouldn't. After I flash the files in recovery they get deleted. I can't view them in any explorer. I only need the files in recovery mode.

[G1 Android Development] b1czu:
1. It's because of new froyo app2sd. Apps stored on SD shows like this. You can move your apps to phone or reload Launcher by any process manager a while after phone boots

2. Try then enabling and disabling airplane mode.

3. If you're on G1 it's because of low ram. Try enable SWAP or update to latest nightly build - I have cm_dream_sapphire-07172010-142311.zip and it's working pretty well http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/2697-nightlies-discussion-of-nightlies/page__st__80

4. Same as above

You need dangerSPL to flash it bro!

Thanks samsci,

I have done a little, but it seems to be practice makes perfect. The su, adb, $, # are areas to learn about as in when to or not to use them. Seems once you master it, it is easier to just use the command shell for most things. I found some more guides and will keep practicing as I have time. Maybe check back with you guys on specifics. Appreciate the responses. The exact syntax for your specific purpose is what takes time to figure out

I don't know why I get com.android.media force close when trying to choose the ringtones with the sdcard inserted.

However, if I remove the sdcard, it is just fine.

Anyone experience this issue?
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Dude, b1 is totally on point, lawrencium. I've been switching tabs between the 5.0.8 forum and this (CM 6) so much, I forgot about the SPL when I was responding to your post. Yeah, you have to have the DangerSPL if you want to flash CM 6. You can flash 5.0.8 without it, but not CM 6. Thanks for catching that for him, b1.

Lawrencium, again, since you are newer to this, I'd still suggest going with 5.0.8 (Android 2.1/Eclair) for right now, especially if you're phone is going to be a daily driver. I think CM 6 is coming along great, but even I'm waiting until its RC2 to consider having it permanently rolling on mine. CM 6 is fun to play with, but it's still a release candidate, remember.

[G1 Android Development] MERKJONES:
I've noticed that with this ROM, a lot of texts are not actually coming into my phone. A couple people are getting pissed off at me for not answering their texts. I'm going to ask my girlfriend to turn on "Delivery Reports" on her G1. She's not rooted / hacked. I have auto-retrieve on, and have it on for roaming as well. On a semi-side note, but some what of a MMS.apk (possibly) related issue: I'm using the Official XBMC Android app to control my XBMC on my Windows box. There is an option that allows you to see text messages on your TV screen when they come in. Just recently I saw a text from my girl on the screen, but it never dropped into my phone. This texting thing has been going on since I flashed this ROM. I cannot pull logs from DDMS because my USB port is pretty broken (had the phone since launch, and I'm clumsy). I'd advise anyone else having this issue to do a test with someone, and then pull the logs for cyanogen.

Also, I've noticed that my bars will be all grayed out a lot of the time, whilst being able to download from 3G, make calls and do otherwise impossible things with "no bars." Could this false positive of lacking signal strength be causing the texts not appearing?

The animation is still going so I'm afraid of pulling the battery out. How long did the update take for you? Does the phone charge while this is happening (the LED is not on). What should I do if it never comes out of this state?

I was running Haykuro SPL (1.33.2005) with an up to date radio 2.22.23.02. I had renamed the file accidentally the first time, I renamed it back and wiped.

This time it installed, but while I'm signing in, sometimes when I hit the android, other times when I'm putting in my email and password, the phone resets. I tried skipping it, and it loads then reboots. This has happened several times in a row and only after I installed GApps. I ran it without GApps and it was fine, except for the launcher occasionally disappearing and requiring reboot. At this point, I can reach the desktop, which shows "problem loading widget" and then it reboots on its own.

EDIT: It finally stopped rebooting for once. But I'm going to downgrade for now because it's important to have functionality today.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Yup. Zim's quote is what I was referring to for 5.0.8.

That being said, I'd still install DangerSPL, anyways. IMO, you'll end up needing it from here on out (or, at a minimum, you'll be able to flash new releases right away without waiting for "workarounds"). I've got it on both my MT3G and my G1.
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
DangerSPL is no longer needed. It's too risky, use Firerats MTD-Method instead it's working very well!
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Actually, it is. According to Cyanogen, at least.

Yes, Firerat's way works, too. For some, though, it can be a bit too complicated. The DangerSPL, with all the hype, isn't that risky. If you follow the instructions correctly and the prerequisites, it'll be fine. But preference is preference.

Returning to CM 5.08

So after using this ROM since it's release, I am finding that I must revert back to CM 5.08. Although the ROM worked great for the first few days, here are a list of issues that are forcing me to revert:

1)When typing in the google search box or the browser url box, the ROM will randomly close the program and revert to the homescreen. This happens frequently.

2) After a few hours of use, the ROM comes to a screeching halt. Clearing cache seems to work for a little while, but not for long. My settings are: No JIT, No dithering, Comcache enabled (got these settings from Cyanogens Tweets)

3)Frequent phone lockups and reboots when trying to multitask

4)Occasionally the phone will reboot and show double of all the apps I downloaded, or not show them at all.

5) I have bluetooth settings as a shortcut on my homescreen. When I try to use the shortcut, the bluetooth screen shows no bt devices found (although I am currently connected to one). I have to go into the BT settings the long way in order to access my BT devices. After doing this, the shortcut will work until the next reboot.

6)My individual caller ringtones will randomly revert to the standard ringtone. Reboot fixes

7) When using the HTC keyboard as the sole keyboard, the phone will randomly revert to the standard keyboard. Reboot fixes.

8) Some apps will randomly kick out to the homescreen when opened.

9) When rebooting the phone, sometimes it seems that the ROM forgot all the previous settings (like it asks if I want to enable google location services)

I'll keep an eye out for the next release.
