Cyanogen Mod Crashes - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good evening,
I have a problem with CyanogenMod-4.2.5 on my G1.
Many applications first hang up and then crash while doing basic stuff.
For example the home screen hangs up and crashes after pushing the volume control or every selection field or search field causing a crash of the application.
Also many long press menus causing a crash.
What goes wrong?
Kind regards.

try running fix_permissions maybe that'll help, or switch back to 4.2.3 as CM is still experimenting with the Eclair Stuff

Downgrading to 4.2.4 solved my problem, thanks .

post logs with the crashes. no way to tell what's causing the problem without a log.

Caller ID Not Working Correctly (Help plz)

I am not sure what I have changed (if anything) to cause this, but my Caller ID has been rendered almost useless lately. For some reason, caller ID neglects to show up until I hit Menu, and enter my unlock pattern. The phone will vibrate and ring, but nothing is shown on the screen until I do this.
The two applications that I thought might have been causing this were Autolock (used to set a custom timer to invoke the lock screen) and Handcent SMS, due to its msg preview function that displays an incoming text as an immediate pop-up.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks.
What rom do you have, that is a rom specific question and fixed in some of the newer cyanogen builds.
My phone started slowing down and eventually started doing the same thing. Clear out your data and cache from apps like browser, google maps, and street view. Then go to terminal and clear out dalvik-cache.
Code:
$su
#cd /system/sd/dalvik-cache
#rm *
#exit
$exit
Then reboot your phone. It will take awhile for it to boot back up like if it was a fresh install. This worked for me.
Sorry I should have mentioned the ROM I'm using - made that first post in a hurry.
I am using Cyanogen's latest stable build (4.0.4). I will try clearing the cache and see if that helps, though that seems somewhat annoying if that is the only fix and will need to be done routinely.

It won't need to be done routinely just whenever the cache starts filling up. Its just like a pc, after awhile you have to clear it out.

long press volume/trackball to skip audio track

I am wondering if anyone knows how to make this possible on our hero. I know the DarchDroid roms allow this??
as of right now i'm using DarchDroid 2.7 and i am having too many problems with it. for example, random reboots, losing 3g connection here and there, not getting mms and sms sometimes too, gmail sometimes doesnt sync. AND CRAZY battery drain. It's just too much maintenance for me.
And yes I partitioned and wiped before flashing numerous times.
So is there a way to get the volume/trackball to skip tracks on the default music app? or is there a rom i'm not aware of that allows this? OR is there a file or xml or apk that i can edit/use to make this possible?
That is the feature that keeps bringing me back to the darchdroid rom. i'm gonna go back to DD 2.6.4 for now, not sure why i have no luck with 2.7.
But i really would like to receive MMS also and DarchDroid 2.6.4 doesnt have this, so i may try PureHero 2.1 again.
((Would love to be able to skip tracks without waking and unlocking the phone.))
Thanks for any input on this subject in advance. and if i find a solution, i'll be sure to post it and help some others out.

[Q] Why does my SGS take so long to load up homescreen?

Hi there people. Here's my problem, when I have apps running, like internet, angry bird, etc, and click home button to return to homescreen, what's left is the wallpaper. It takes about 5 seconds to load up, and takes another 5 seconds to respond to scrolling. It gets annoying when I multitask.
I realise it's more laggy after opening apps like asphalt, hungry shark and especially angry bird, and playing movies. But after it's loaded, it's fine.
What can I do? I am currently on Doc's v7.6 XWJPA rom (startup tweaks disabled) with zenkinz's OC kernel and JFS/EXT4 file system. I have autokiller enabled at strict. I tried EXT4, EXT2 but I don't think it's the file system. I think it has something to do with media scanning perhaps?
Thanks for troubleshooting/advice. Really appreciate it if this can be solved.
No replies? my problem is very similar to this guy,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=689728.
And I've done pretty much did what he did too, factory reset, reflash rom, changed kernel, still nothing.
I realise that I don't get the load home screen when I for example,
Angry Bird > Press Back > Exit Game > Home screen pops up immediately usable.
But if I
Angry Bird > Press Home key > Home screen takes 10 seconds to load up and then become scrollable.
What can be done? Really need help guys.
Bump up my thread.
Bump up my post. Really need help.
It's because of your autokiller. Don't believe me? Uninstall it then see what happens. Don't use auto killers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, wow, chill mate. Okay okay. I'll try that and get back to you.

Hehe good luck. You're right, I do need to chill, point taken
Hi, done that and tested for a while. Still restarts home screen when I press home button. Not solved. I wonder if I am the only one having this issue?
You are not alone. I have the same issues, and I have never had any auto killer installed. The problem occurred after the upgrade to Froyo(stock). Any help would be appreciated.
Well time to put my foot in my mouth. My thinking was that the auto killer was removing the launcher from memory. Thus every time you pressed home, the launcher had to start again from scratch.
Sorry, wish I could be of more help :/
No worries Chalup, thanks anyway.
Yeah, since Froyo I've been getting that. I hope this can be solved.
Hey iamsatan, I think I found the "cure." Do you have quickdesk pro installed? I uninstalled it and now it's working fine. Maybe partly because I flashed a new modem. I flashed JPD modem instead of JPP.
Still testing.
I have the same problem after upgrading to Froyo there is occasionaly very long wait when returning to home screen.
When this is happening also applications are reloading, it looks that the launcher crashes or it is killed.
Any solution?

crazy keyboard, mute notification - I need a stable rom

Hi to all
I have a N1, and I'm pretty happy with it with Darktremor A2SD that solve the memory problem...
And I use the nightly of CyanogenMod 7 08.21.2011
I have this issue and I'm pretty tired of rebook my phone everytime:
1. sometimes and I don't know why, my keyboard became crazy, if I press letter A became Q if I press Space became N and if I press Enter became Backspace and starting to delete everything I've wrote...
Then everything is crazy I can't even tap on the option menu so I can select reboot, or shoutdown....all is solved with a reboot
2. Facebook and twitter notification or even whatsapp notification are really strange...sometimes whatsapp doesent ring, facebook sometimes alert me for a new notification, and some times not, and when I open the app I have no new notification, but I've recieved a mail from facebook that I have something new on it -.-
Even if I pull down to refresh nothing happend, I've tried friend caster and it's the same thing...
Then everything works like usual, and I don't know why...
For twitter it's the same...
I thought it was DT A2SD but I'm not sure...and 192Mb of internal memory are really too too low
Of Course it's a bit annoying...
do you think that I have to use cyanogen stable or at least 7.1 RC1? or I have to use another rom?
thanks a lot in advance
1. It's called "crazy screen", not crazy keyboard. Solved with turning the phone's screen off and on with power button. No way around it whatsoever. You can read tons about it in the forum, and read FAQ, question 5.
thanks a lot, and for the notification and rom?
Facebook notifications are horrendous for working properly. If you are getting notifications for new messages, then it is most likely people using the IM client trying to message you. Facebook still hasn't figured out a good way to notify people of that.
But I am not having notification issues with any other apps, so you might want to try uninstalling those apps and reinstalling them. Also, make sure that they are stored on "internal" memory (according to the app properties, since it doesn't take into account ext partitions).
I think the latest nightlies are far more stable than 7.0.3 or 7.1 RC1. There have been a ton of bug fixes and improvements that have been added since RC1 was released.

Are you using any screen shield? If so, peel it off, it would make this issue a lot less annoying... I was using one and like 4 or 5 times a day my screen went completely crazy, I wasnt able to do anything about it, I remember rebooting the screen and neither it fixed the issue... It all got fixed when I took the ****ing shield out...
If that doesnt fix it... Get use to it, thats the only thing I REALLY HATE about my nexus...

[Q] Magine TV

Hi,
i tried to find my 'problem', but all searches didnt show any result.
I am new to this forum.
My Hardware is a chinese Landvo 100, mediatek-chip 6572, Android 4.2.2
I just installed xposed framework 2.6.1 and the modules Blacklist, GravityBox and Swipeback.
All works perfect - thanks to the developers, great job
But: trying to start maginetv.apk i experience now a desaster... The app starts.. stops, starts again .. stops... then i have sound..
it goes back to the start screen etc..
I have to go to the apps menu to stop it...
Uninstalling xposed and rebooting helps - so this is not that a big problem, but still a little bit annoying.
If there is another workaround than unistalling xposed i would be happy to find that (my search showed nothing...)
Maybe someone found a solution?
regards
