I am running Cyanogen's mod. I was running 4.2.1 for about a week+ (maybe more) when this started happening. I was using google talk when it happened. For some reason, the touch screen and keyboard began fighting. It's been crashing every five seconds ever since. I can still USE it.. but it's not functioning properly.
I updated to 4.2.13. Lo' and behold. Still broken.
How do I fix this? Full message reads:
"Sorry! The application Touch Input (process com.htc.android.htcime) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force Close"
Please help. I'm going nuts here.
It's a G1, and it is rooted. Rooted it the day I bought it and have never had problems until today.
Uninstall and reinstall. If that fails, reflash without wiping and try installing. If you're desperate, wipe and flash? I'm not sure if this is 100% correct but it's what I do when it happens.
links would be welcome. .. I want to scale back to a 'lighter' mod. That doesn't slog my phone down. Cyanogen's mod seems to have gotten worse on that front lately.

Take a spin and pick a ROM!
Donut
Wesgarner Build (cyan base)
Official Donut
Dwang
Eclair
JAC's xROM
manup
(I am not sure if manup's ROM can support HTC_IME.apk but on my phone, JAC's can)
you forgot SuperD
Ooo--before I do this, I need to do a factory reset, right? I'm a bit of a goober--I've had my buddy do this for me but I need to learn how to do it myself.
Um... factory reset? Or factory image? I don't know where to start!
if you want to clean it out completely
get the rom zip you want to install and whack it on the root of your SD card
reboot your phone into recovery (power +home)
(i'm assuming your mate flashed the cyan/amon ra recovery when he rooted it for you here)
select wipe/factory reset
select apply any zip and choose the one you've put on there
restart phone
done
You'll lose your apps/messages by doing this, but the market will remember what you've bought/downloaded to get them back, or you can back them up and restore with something like backup for root users (I've always had problems in the past - if you haven't got too many apps, redownloading them doesn't take THAT long).
Also worth noting that If you're flashing cyanogen, you have to flash the htc image first, but that's all in his thread.
Uh...
selected wipe/factory reset.

No, you're fine. Try flashing again as sometimes a flash doesn't work right and it gives an error. Just flash 3 or 4 more times then come back
I finally figured out how to fix this. All you have to do is chance the Touch Input Text Entry Method to Android Keyboard. So go to Messaging, then hold the text box until is say Entry Method and change it from Touch Input to Android Keyboard. Bye Bye Force Close Message!

Ok so my G1 is jacked up appariently...
What im running is in my sig, basically what happened is i was using my phone today, the thing was working absolutely fine with no issues whatsoever, but was a little on the slow side, so i figured that i would reboot it to speed it up some
So i rebooted it, the G1 screen came up, everythings fine... Then the blue Android screen came up, everythings fine... Then the Android screen went away and instead of going to home all it did was stay on a black screen and hasent done anything whatsoever, ive tried pulling the battery and rebooting multiple times and it always hangs on this black screen... i wasent even doing anything when i was on it last, it was just a little slow so i thought ide give it a reboot...
any help would be appreciated on how to get my phone back!
Try to boot w/o the cd card. Or try to flash a nandroid backup. Or flash the newest cyan rom 4.0.4.
Sounds like it crashed on you, reboot into recovery, wipe so the whatever the problem was does not carry over and flash a new rom or try a nandroid backup if you got one. Yes this has happened to me and this should work for you
"Theme :: Open Home"
ummm is Open Home an actual theme made for cyan 4.0.2 or are you referring to the app on the market called OpenHome?
For some odd reason everytime I try to install the cyanogen rom v4.0.4 I believe its one of the stable ones, I do everything to root my fone and install the rom and my fone says its done w the updates and to reboot it and when I do it stays @ the g1 screen. Now I take the battery out and press the cam and end buttons to reinstall the dreaimg to take it back to rc29 state. When I power it up it works just fine the lil android dude pops up and i put in my info and then just redo the steps to the cyanogen rom and for some reason my fone will install everything I will assume properly and i go to reboot it and it stays on the tmobile g1 screen.
I need help! I have tried and tried and Idk what to do now.
This all started bc I deleted something from the cm updater and my fone hasnt worked since...if ne one can help me plz email me @ [email protected]....
Thanx!

try flashing another build. or wait about 15 maybe 20mins and see if goes away. or just do wipe... or i bet its your sd card try getting to the point where it hangs take out the sd card and then turn it on again.
The first boot after each flash or dalvik-cache dump will take a long time. Just be patient.

Yes a real long time, right fingerlickin. lol
But if you loaded RC29 back then your gonna have to reroot.
I would suggest wiping if you issue isn't fixed by waiting. I've had to wipe a few times jumping between Experimental and Stable builds mainly because of big Donut differences in the build's.
Fixed???
I think it may have fixed it self, I had my friend look @ it and I had taken the sd card out of it and showed him what happened and he left it alone and it came up w/ an update now he did and its working now like normal...SOoO im scared to try again jus bc i dont wanna f*** it up again but Im stubbern and w/ the info ive learned so far on all these sites I just may do it all over again.
Use THIS guide next time.

Hey guys,
I upgraded my G1/Dream from an older cyanogen version, to the newer one 4.2.15.1
and now for some reason my phone keeps restarting Any reason why ?
Can you please tell me how to fix it?
I've taken battery out & Also 'green+home+red' . Same keeps happening.
It restarts when it wants, can be 2 minutes, 10, 30.. but lately ever 1 minute or so..
What can I do?
Bump

Anyone?? please
I'd recommend a full wipe and reinstall of your desired rom from scratch. Sounds like kernel panics to me.
my g1 was freezin up alot on cm4.15.1.... before it died and i had to get it replace....try unrootin and then root again and if it doesnt work it could be a hardware prob.

Why would you completely unroot and reroot? That's just too much work.
Wipe, and reflash. Also, a few apps have a problem with custom ROMs, try disabling apps that run in the background one by one until you find that your phone no longer reboots.
However, if you didn't wipe, I highly recommend that as the person before me said.
Black screen of death. It's what I call it because that's all I get.
Here is a summary of what happened.
1) My Samsung Galaxy S started to get slower and slower. I decided to turn it off and back on (using
the power down button) to see if it would get any faster.
2) I would then only get the first start screen, then the graphic S screen after which it would go
blank (black screen of death). After about 2 min, if I pressed any keys, the two buttons on the bottom
would light up and stay on. If I pressed any one of them, it would go off and back on.
3) I could hold the power button and it would reboot.
So, that's were it was, here is what I have tried so far.
a) Check to see if I could get into download mode. Yep, that works.
b) Check to see if I could get into recovery mode. Yep, that works.
c) Hmmm, oh well, lets do a system wipe. Yep, can do that but it still would not boot up. I just get
to the graphic S screen and then the black screen of death.
d) Lets take the battery out. (over night) Nope, still black screen of death.
Based on the above, a flash should work right. Sorry, but I had a lag fix installed. Well no matter
what, I could not get the phone to boot so I guess I better try flashing anyway.
I've tried several images. Most of them get the error "your storage not prepared yet, please use UI me nu for format and reboot actions" OK, this is because of the lag fix. I then installed stzupy's image and that fixed the "your storage not prepared yet bla, bla bla. But still black screen of death.
I've tried flashing over and over, with pid 512, 513, 803. Nothing. I still come up the black screen of death.
So, can someone guide me in the right direction. I've done searches on this but everyone else seems to have had a different problem. Mostly doing a Factory Reset worked for them. I've done that over and over. After removing the battery, after flashing, before flashing. Nothing seems to get me past the black screen of death.
Thanks in advance for all and any help,
Jeff
p.s. Please don't reply with a message saying something like flash X's kernel. I need descriptive instructions such as flash with "this kernel" into CSC (or pda or modem) using XXX pid while checking repartion (or not). In other words, don't assume I know what I am doing. I don't.
there is now way you can save your apps installed but your sd card files will be there.
Only thing you can do is reflash my friend

Really don't care about my apps. (I have everything backed up onto my computer via Titanium Backup) But if you check my message above, I have reflashed until the cows come home. I still get the black screen of death.

Sorry Jeff Your Samsung Galaxy S is 'Proper F*cked Mate'
Yes sir I believe you are toast indeed! Your internal SD card is probably toast. I believe you're a fine Canadian of course assuming you've got the Bell i9000m? A lot of us have had this and there's a poll on it actually. Mine just toasted out about 2 weeks ago, thankfully i've an awesome friend in Canada on the forum that has helped me out!
No matter what you flash or try to do, it will not mount the sdcard in there or let you format it manually. You'll have to send it back to BELL or Samsung.

Had the same problem today. Wanted to change from JPA to JPO so thought it best to do a factory reset, but when phone booted up again, it started, then the screen went black with the occasional vibration. Tried all the usual things, removing battery & waiting, wiping cache etc., but no luck. Then put it in download mode & installed JPA again, but same problem on bootup. Thought I had finally managed to brick my phone (horrible feeling). So I solved it this way :-
Installed JM8 using .512 pit with repartition ticked, hooray my phone booted up again. The long delay after the S logo & finally completing boot was nail biting to say the lease. Now everything is working great & I am in the process of installing JPO.
Hello,
It has been a while I touched my G1 as it stopped working. Back then I rooted it to Cyanogenmod. All worked fine until it came up with the problem of the sdcard that was 'damaged' what was wrong. So I decided to unroot it and install the 1.5 custom firmware again. When I did that all worked fine untill I came at the point of the setup screen. After the account setup I had to slide my keyboard back in. That is what suddenly stopped working, so I can't get any further from that point on. I still have the install files on my sdcard and I click home + on to get in the update flash menu and tried to reinstall. Without any luck. I hope people have experienced this problem and know how to fix it!
Please help!
thanks!

Thanks, but didnt work like stated in the topic itself. I cannot bypass it. The slide in + touchscreen just stops working after i signed into my account. Please someone help!
Do you charge your G1 with a third party charger?
I have heard from other people and experienced this myself that, when you charge it with certain chargers, the touchscreen will stop working, device becomes slower and unresponsive. After I remove the charger everything goes back to normal.
you could possibly jus have a bad download file... try re-downloading than re-flash the update.zip

For the charger thing, ive always used the original charger. And the download file, I downloaded all the htc dream cyanogenmod files all gives the error of no signature when i try to flash. And then I downloaded the official software of the htc website, and thats now giving me the same error.
