Hi
I have installe the Cynagogen 4.0.4 on my G1.
And after first reboot while I had some problems with APN's my phone wont auto rotate the screen anymore.
The g-force doenst work also, so seems like the thingy that's sense my movevs dosent work anymore..
Any quick fiks to get it going again ore do i need to put the rom in all over again, Ive used the whole day to set up my pone the way I like it, and bought programs so hope I dont need to install the cynagogen again?
...Trouble?
double post. borked internet connection sorry
ripped straight from the FAQ on cyanogen's page
20. My auto-rotate/accelerometer isn't working!
Not really the fault of the ROM, but here's how to fix it: Go into recovery, drop to console, "mount /data", then "rm /data/misc/akmd* /data/misc/rild*" and reboot.

First things first, i did all this upgrading to hero crap so i can fix the problems i was having in JF's 1.51 Camera not working, apps not downloading properly, and just random constant crashing.
Now that i finally got hero to work after buying a brand new SD card, i'm stuck with one of the same problems.
Many apps including robodefense, my backup pro, and a few others and seems like just about every other app i try to download screws up.
This is EXACTLY what happens.
I click download
App starts to download
The file size it shows is 45-55% of the actual full size.
--Example: Robodefense is normally 3.5MB, the phone only downloads 1.75MB
The phone downloads the reduced file size and says it's complete
Also it's not like it shows downloaded 1.75 of 3.35 and ends. It actually shows the full file size of the app as 1.75 where as the description shows the full file size at 3.35
Obviously because the app didn't download properly it won't load.
NOTHING has fixed this.
-15 factory wips
-10 card formats and repartitioning
-JF's 1.5 rom has this problem
-Jacheros 2.7.3 rom has it as well (what i'm currently using)
i've also reinstalled each rom 10 times. and nothing. every single time the same apps won't download properly
Now i'm pretty sure now that it's because of Apps2sd but that dosn't make any sense since when i first did apps2sd EVERYTHING worked that i installed, it wasn't until jf 1.51 and a few weeks after that all this **** started happening.
I figured going to a new rom would fix it and that it was something that JF's 1.51 was doing. But now on a brand new rom it's doing the same thing.
I really hope theres someway to fix this, or someone can point me to a stock US T-Mobile rom so i can test to see if it is apps2sd.
or if someone just knows what this is because i'm really pissed off about this and i'm about ready to just leave android all together.
Try cyanogen's ROM...Could just be a network issue
can't right now but i will as soon as i get home. But does that even make sence though? cause i've already had it happen now on two different roms, would cranogens really make that much of a difference?

Well again it could be a network issue. Try downloading via wifi.
I have, Wi-Fi, Edge, and 3G.
3G in both my city, and 5 others. Edge the same.
Wi-Fi at home, school, mcdonalds, apple store (was showing off my G1 to the iphone lovers lol) and a few other places that have free wi-fi
No matter where or what these apps will never download properly once it happens the first time.
home now and just trying to find my razr2 that i tossed somewhere so i can have a working phone while i try to fix this.
installed cyanogens rom. still no change. same apps doing the same ****
You could try flashing back to RC29 (DREA100) and doing everything over.
any quick download links?
and one other thing, can i leave the new SPL or do i have to go back to the old SPL
I just don't feel like bricking my phone right now since it's literally my only phone and i can't afford a new one anytime soon.

Well if you already flashed the new SPL successfully your phone is like virtually unbrickable now...
okay so then all i do is flash the RC29 rom and thats it? nothing else needed

Flash it then flash back to RC33 (JF) and try dling from the market again...Also try logging in with a different gmail account. Google may have suspended your original one.
no change what-so-ever
flashed ro RC29, then back to jf and then used a different account. same exact thing.
So i think it's safe to say that my phone is just screwed to high hell now and i'm gonna have to get a new one right?
We've basically tried everything possible...If you wish to do it and not continue racking your brains just get a new g1
yeah. through not so legal methods i was able to find most of the apps i paid for and can't use anymore because they die if i update them but the fact that i can't download anything off the market kinda sucks and i don't think i feel like waiting for the hero or some other phone to come out thats better than the g1
I've had bad luck with HTC devices, never had one that worked perfectly for more than 6-7 months. Just wish Acer, LG, Samsung, or Motorola would actually show us what android phones they're working on. and release them right now.

This disables the android checkin service. But remember:
When you wipe your phone, you have to enable the checkinservice again, otherwise the setupwizard will fail. After the SetupWizard it can be disabled again.
Here is also a litte script to disable the checkinservice:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
su
if ! grep -q "^ro.config.nocheckin=" /system/build.prop; then
echo "Mounting system as read/write"
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
echo "Disabling Checkinservice"
echo "ro.config.nocheckin=1" >> /system/build.prop
echo "rebooting.."
reboot
else
echo "CheckinService already disabled"
fi
When I first got my g1 I loved it. Then the cupcake update happened. Everyone was overjoyed - except me. My phone went much slower and juddery, and loads of little errors happened. Now these are the 2 problems i need help with:
Rotating. The phone stays in either portrait or landscape mode and won't rotate to the correct mode with the keyboard sliding in or out.
And
Messaging. Whenever I send an sms message i get a force error as soon as the text is sent through.
PLEASE HELP ME :'( :'( before i go to t-mobile and cancel my phone - it has got that bad ((((((((((((((((((((((
If you need anymore info just ask thanks,
Ross.
You might want to try re-flashing the cupcake update, if your phone is rooted then you can search around and find out how to do it easily. If not you need to find the official tmobile cupcake update, I dont have any link for it but I am sure if you search here or google you will find it. You then need to plug your g1 into the usb on your pc and mount the sd card, if it is a .nbh file name it DREAMIMG.nbh, if its a .zip name it update.zip and copy it over. Then reboot into spl by holding camera+power and follow onscreen instructions. Good luck.
Try doing a wipe and see if that fixes your problems.
If wiping doesnt fix your problem id hit t mobile up for a replacement
i will try to be as detailed as possible. im coming from the kaiser community so go easy on me
when i had recieved the phone it would turn on go past the tmobile g1 screen and go into the recovery console. the console read. JF 1.41.
after reading around the best option i got was reverting everything back to factory settings.....and so i did. i installed the factory spl went back to rc29....then updated to rc 30 and installed the new cupcake.
everything was fine except for i couldnt get the phone activated given im an AT&T user.
this morning i finally recieved the unlock code from tmobile and when i turn the phone on with the att simcard, it gave me the triangle with the exclamation screen.
so i hit alt +l then alt w and after a reboot it would bring me back to the same screen. Also this recovery screen is diff from the jf 1.41 (im guessing this is the factory console).
now im out of ideas as to how to get this phone back in order. i would love flashing the DREAIMG.NBH but sadly my phone refuses to go in bootloader.
ive been trying to hold camera+ power and its jsut loads up the tmobile g1 screen.
any and all advice/helps are appreciated.
-thank you
so this is totally weird. i leave the phone unplugged with the battery out for about 3 hours. came back to work on it....turned it on and well it loaded and got me to the home screen ( no sim card ).
so i powered off the phone and inserted the AT&T simcard turn it on and it shows me the same screen again with the triangle and exclamation point.
how do u explain that ?!
pressed power for 3 seconds and then let go and held down the back key. it flashed the bootloader tricolor screen and then said ""everything will be reset to factory defaults .press send to reset"" and when i did that there was no change........nothing happened. ended up pulling the battery out..
Same problem..
I have very similar problem.. but mine takes much more than 3 hrs to come back.. and even then , the task manger keeps popping up from time to time in the home screen ,, so i guessed my home button was stuck or something...
After i found your "problem Sovled" post in another theread on 11th oct ..i thought i better take your suggestion before taking phone apart..
I was on 1.5 version and 2.22.19.26I radio. also i do not know whether i'm in RC29,30,33 ..
i'm really confused about all this radio,firmware ,recovery things....
Please Guide me ..
well first you need to get in your ph to find out if u have rc29. if you are able to get to home screen just hit menu - setting - about phone - all the way down it'll tell you what you are running.
i followed this guide to help me flash it to the cyanogenmod rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563679
hopefully it helps. but if you are able to get into bootloader unlike me then jsut flash the rc29 hopefully it will solve your problem.
my home key acted like it was stuck but now everything is working fine.
Thanks for Replying so quickly ..
I managed to go to the bootloader screen(tricolor) ..actually it went without even pressing the camera button(any idea why??) after leaving the phone without battery for about 5 hours.. and i flashed the Dreaimg-RC29 file .
Since then i'm Stuck in recovery mode again.. but this time the recovery utility is different (yellow letters)..i.e hopefully RC29 is succefully installed.
I wanted to complete doing your suggested guide before asking any more questions, but now i unable to so what shud i do now?
IS the task manger popping up involuntarily sometimes for you in the cM builds?
Can it be that you had a hardware button issue, which somehow rectified itself when going to Cyanogen..
I really appreciate your taking time to answer my questions ..
well sounds like jsut what had happened to me.
make sure you have tmobile simcard on you with a dataplan.
you're going to have to leave your phone off without the battery or just turned off for a while. from here on out it was trial and error. i kept trying to turn the phone on hoping it would go past the recovery screen once it did i activated the phone and finally completed the root process.
as for the cyanogen mod rom i think you are right. though on my initial flash i had a bunch of force closing apps but it all fixed itself upon a restart. ever since then i haven't seen the recovery mode every time i boot it.
PS: that reocvery mode that you see is the stock recovery meaning yes u have flashed RC29 sucessfully.
so i jsut flashed to CM 4.2.3.1. and well im back to square one. im booting into the recovery by default. obviously confirming my doubts about the hardware problem.
im going to try and leave the phone off for a while and see if i can get it to load up. usually that solves my problem.
Oh..
Thats depressing.. Anyways... Lets do it together then I have kept my phone unsed for about 16hrs now.. hope it works ..
Have you tried the HTC Diagonistic program for g1 (DREADIAG.nbh) ?.. I am yet to try it out as i cannot go to the bootloader..
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7NRX7H40
which version of cyanogen were you using before this happened?
i have not tried diagnostic. iw as going to use ADB to push the recovery on there but it went into bootloader.
i was using cyanogenmod rom 4.1.9999. now i have updated to 4.2.3.1.
actually iw as working on it last night. i re did that whole guide except for downloaded the new rom and flashed it.
so as of now once again that hardware flaw is gone and the phone is working fine.

Did you update from 4.1.9999 straight into 4.2.3.1? If so, that's the problem (maybe).. I suggest you install the HTC 1.6 ADP Rom (link in the cyanogen 4.2.3.1 post) then upgrade to 4.2.3.1. Make sure everything is updated.... rom, recovery & spl (before you upgrade SPL make sure you have the most recent radio version first! or you'll brick the phone). then give it a try and see what happens...
you are right. the first time i just flashed the new rom. the second time around i followed the guide except for i flashed the latest cyanogen rom.
I'm not able to make it go to the home screen even after so many attempts..
i could only manage to go to the bootloader screen once and flashed the RC29 and i'm stuck there
Can you elaborate on how you got to the Home screen , like how long you keep it off or press which buttons to start ?
I'm not in the US , and have bought this phone from Ebay (new, never used) from a seller with good feedback for G1 (wanted this phone very badly). I was using the phone for barely 3 days when i did a factory reset from the phone and this problem started occurring .
IS there anything else i can do..?
Thanks for Helping..
Still waiting for your answer

how did you flash the RC29? after pressing the power button
did it give you any errors? once its flashed, reboot by pressing home and back (or w/e the SPL tells you to)
it should boot into the rom
Home button problem (repaired/solved)
Firstly, thanks for responding ..
I had flashed RC29 when it had gone to the tricolor bootloader screen on its own
but after that it would not go anywhere other than recovery(exclamantion mark)
Now good news
4 hours back i opened the phone again(third time) , and took a safety pin and started scraping(gently) the non shiny parts of the connector ( daughter board to main board) .
I think it was previously shorted near that area , so by scraping removed the shorted metal joints .. and now the phone booted up to RC29 (just like that) and i even installed the cyanogen mod ..
Many thanks to u all .. hope this Comes UP in google search for people with similar problems(and there are many)...
KEYwords: Home button stuck on recovery no booting
Ah wow didnt think of that lol.. glad to see you got it to work
Hey guys. I tried asking these questions on the official thread of this Rom but somehow my post is getting lost in the tons of pages which are accumulating everyday So here are my questions :
y2jamit said:
Alright folks. I finally managed to move from CM6 stable to NXSense. Before moving from CM 6, I partitioned my SD card using Rom manager with a partition of 512 MB & a swap of 32 MB.I managed to install version eViL-NXSense-v.1.13.1. However after that eViL-Q&D-NXSense-v.1.14.1 was released. So I downloaded that first from the 4shared link. I tried to install the new ROM from Rom Manager using the wipe option. However when the phone goes into recovery it shows formatting blah blah blah and then phone doesn't install the 1.14.1 Rom and reboots and gets stuck on the Google cross logo.
I managed to restore back to 1.13.1 from the back up that I had made. Now instead of using the Rom Manager I booted into recovery and tried to use the install from SD card option. This time the phone started copying files and showed that twice. After this I get the following huge error:
E: Can't symlink /system /customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
E: Failure at line 27:
symlink/data/local/bootanimation.zip
SYSTEM : customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
Installation aborted.
I had to once again resort back to my backup. Can anyone help me out this issue?
After all this I even tried to install 1.13.1 from the recovery using the install from sd card option and apparently this also gave me the exact same bootanimation error. So I guess both the zips are ok. not sure what else could be going wrong.
Also even after flashing networkfix on 1.13.1, the market still struggles to work. It shows loading for some time and then gives an option to retry. However if I try to search for any application or go to downloads, the market starts working normally. Can anyone also provide a fix for this problem?
I really want to use this as my default rom because I am in love with it Excellent work Evil !!! Just want to sort out these issues.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In addition to the above mentioned post, I wanted to add that I now also have a2sd enabled after running the commands from terminal emulator. What is the simplest way to update from 1.13.1 to a higher version? Also when loading market for the first time, the GPRS connection disappears and comes back in like a minute. Why is this happening? When using Trackball Alert Pro the patch option says compatible rom not found but the alerts are working fine When using wi-fi hotspot and default options, it is not getting turned on although 3G shows in the top left corner. Do I have manually change any settings.
I would be highly grateful if anyone can resolve all or any of my queries. I am absolutely exhausted in asking these queries in the official thread and reading through tons of pages just to see my query being buried.
Thanks in advance guys.
Alright guys I managed to install 1.14.1 successfully by doing a full wipe first using instructions from this fabulous thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747381 Although this thread is for myTouch 3G Slide, the basic instructions are the same for Nexus One. You just have to use the trackball to select an option. This is exactly what I was looking for I am sure many newbies like me who don't know what a full wipe is, will learn a lot from this magnificent thread. Thank you kingofyo1
Now I still don't understand why the patch option in Trackball Alert Pro shows the rom is not compatible even though basic version is officially provided with the rom. Anyway the alerts work, so I am not going to waste any more time on it.
Even in eViL-Q&D-NXSense-v.1.14.1, when I first open market, my GPRS connection disappears and comes back in like 20-30 seconds. After that market works really well. Anyone has a solution for this?
Also Wi-Fi hotspot still doesn't turn on using default settings. Do I have to manually choose any settings?
Can anyone shed some light on the above mentioned questions?
Hey guys
I managed to root my device with the first guide (oneclick) and uninstalled alot of LG crap, same time i uninstalled the LG launcer. - Today i got a problem with my device. I couldnt ring and hear people when i manged to get in contact.
I decided to factory reset the phone, but my problem is that i dont have any launcher now. When i do the hard reset thing (vol down + home and power on) i can get to the screen where i can type in pin code, but after that there is black screen cause there is no launcher. The search function dont work but the notification bar is working. so i cant get to the market and install. Mostly it just shows the LG logo when the phone is turned on and the touch screen is working cause it makes the click sound. But nothing else.
Does some one have an idea to how i can get a launcher installed ??
thanks in advance
Please use search function. This problem is already discussed here. You have to use ADB.
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA Premium App
Sorry the other threads i found was about how to get other launchers. But i will try read deeper into to threads then ;(

Hello my fren.. Did u in the 1st place had made backup or ur rom via nandroid before removing stuff from ur rom? If yes then its too bad.. But there is always an alternative..
1. Download a custom available here and place it in ur mmc card.
2. I presume that u have paulobrien 3.0.1.4 r1 - ClockworkMod Recovery for the LG Optimus 2X installed then flash it via clockwork.
3. Enjoy ur new fast phone!!
naah i did not backup.. thought i would never need it.. but i was wrong..
so here is what i did.
When the nortification bar was working i went into the musicplayer from there, in there i managed to get the search funtion in albums wich gave me the opportunity to search on the internet via the browser (wich i could not open or find cause no launcher ).
I went to 4shared from there and found a launcher but i could not install it because the installing from other source funtions was disabled. Fortunately it gave me the option so i could enable it and i did.. AND YEEEHA i manged to install a launcher and retsarted and it dos work !!!
Before when i pressed the home button it just restarted the phone i could do nothing ! only black screen with logo.. so i reset it and tried the above...
it seems that my phone is still rooted, cause i have the "superuser" thing but when i get time i will unroot it and sell this crap of a device and get back my old Nokia N8 again
Don't just root your phone without learning how to actually use the powers it gives you. If you remove anything from /system you will not be able to restore it with factory reset, because factory reset relies on what is in /system. But I guess you figured that out the hard way.
Learn to use ADB and nvflash, nvflash being the easiest based on the guides at 2x.modaco.com. ADB can get you out of most trouble by editing/replacing single files and nvflash will enable you to overwrite all partitions, i.e. with a stock ROM.
Everything you need is in these forums or in the wiki.
yea the hardway was more fun ;-) (actually not )
I was trying the ADB way, but my computer didn regonize the phone so it was difficult
Now i just need the stock apps and launcher so i can unroot it again
start off with this page:
http://android.modaco.com/content/l...rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15-03-2011/
once you have restored the stock rom you can now delete the clockwork recovery by using this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021554
after that unroot in superoneclick and your all done.

Funny how when ever some user messes up something - then its the device that is crap
Ehmm the deivce is crap... the sounds is terrible.. and the reason why i messed up was i had problems with the device. When i call some one they cant hear me and i cant hear them.. same with income.. but i can text msg.. and its not my carrier or other stuff.. it is the ceappy device ;-)
