ok i got a problem....i dont know how people say this is fast and ect. i've tried superbad cyanogen and is the same speed SLOW! i have compache enable, also setcpu runnin and i download a swapper app from the market so im running 128MB swap. i dont really have any apps installed and is still slow. also apps2sd/ext4...any ideas why this is happening? can anyone post how they got eveything setup so i can copy it lol....thank you!!

couple of things that helped me was I installed the free advanced task manager and put the widget in my main screen and hit that every time my phone starts to get slow. Also go into your spare parts and click the home screen into memory that helped me tons. auto memory manager is a life saver with all roms, and one last thing to use is cache mate you can put the widget on your main screen and clear cache as well when your phone starts to get slow.

For anyone having texting issues, I had the same problem, if you use SMS popup this seems to lose the texts. I changed my notifications from SMS popup to the stock SMS app, and i haven't missed/lost a text yet. I'd really like to know what makes people think they have the right to say stuff like "fix the damn sms issue!" when they have probably never done anything in for return, you didn't buy the phone like this, you're choosing to run this ROM.

G1, I haven't ran fix permissions since I reflashed everything from scratch (I ran it before doing all of this thou), I'll do that and give it a reboot and see if it continues

Try doing Firerat's patch and run the swap script, see if it allows enough mem to keep the mms app alive.

Is that phrase "Would you like a pony" from Ghostcrawler who runs the World of Warcraft forums? He's infamous for it.

I seem to have figured it out... Very embarrassingly it was my own fault. The enable SMS forwarding setting in google voice was disabled, not sure how, but I guess I must've accidentally unchecked it.

Sorry for wasting your time. : /

The main jist to alot of what is going on here breaks down to 1 thing. Many on here have upgraded to Test 4 and are not having any issues. Text Msgs are working, they are receiving phone calls with no problems, battery is good, etc.

So, what did they do right?

Actually all I did was follow the instructions on the first page ...

1) Made sure I had all the pre-reqs.
2) Downloaded to ROM onto my SD.
3) Did a wipe and cleared DavCache in recovery.
4) Installed ROM.

That's it. Only issue I have is a FC when I high-lite a contact and try and dial by hitting the phone button on the phone instead of the touch screen.

thx for info.

Not sure what the point of calling people n00bs and the ass-kissing were for ... did you have some point or contribution to add to the thread?

Ah, that would cause it.

hi guys im really in trouble.My G1 has a problem when i try to enter recovery mode.all things on screen just an orange triangle and the "!".It happened when i try to update this "signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip"at "developer.htc.com/adp.html#s3" .When installing that i didn't follow the instructions.Here is the installation guide:
"Flash Android 1.6 & the Latest version (stable)

You will now install the actual OS of the phone. First you will install the legal Google apps, and then you will install CyanogenMod on top of those apps.

1. Turn your phone off.
2. Hold the Home button while booting to get to Recovery mode.
3. If you wish to have an option to return to your factory settings, select nandroid backup now. If not, continue.
4. Press Alt-W (or select "wipe data/factory reset"). Press home to confirm.
5. Press Alt-A (or select "apply any zip from sd").
* Pick signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip.
6. Press home to confirm and let installation complete.
7. STOP - DO NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE
8. Once again, press Alt-A (or select "apply any zip from sd").
* Pick update-cm-4.2.x-signed.zip.
9. Press home to confirm and let installation complete
10. When this is complete, reboot your phone by pressing Home & Back. [release buttons to start reboot]
11. Wait. Your phone will say installing radio and then reboot. This will take a couple of minutes. Be patient!
12. (When rebooting it may boot back to the recovery screen and say Formating CACHE. That's normal, just reboot again.)

If that's all you wanted to do, you're done! You should now have a fully functional phone. "

_when in step 7 I REBOOTED MY G1 and now result is orange triangle and the "!" on screen when i enter recovery mode.
_i tried to enter fastboot by press and hold POWER and CAMERA button.
and it said
"SD checking ...

Quick question

Have a quick question, and yes I searched. Was wondering if I needed to flash the hotfix with test 4? I am still having battery issues. My battery lost 5 percent in just 10 min. So please any help

So, what did they do right? Sounds like they added some of what FR put together, and a few other things.

It seems that those who are having issues need to look at how they installed the ROM, look at the posts FR has posted to find resolutions to issues, do searches on what is not in those posts to find other solutions.

But quit beating a dead horse. There is probably an answer to almost every issue someone has experienced on this thread if a search is done. You do NOT have to read through every posts. Just do a search on what you are looking for. Put in SMS, put in Battery. Don't say you have tried. I have found alot of answers to possible issues just by doing a simple search. It is not that HARD.

9 times out of 10, it is not the ROM that is the issue. It is usually something that has been missed. A setting, an app configured wrong, something.

As others have said, this is an experimental ROM, and it will remain experimental for a while. That being said, it still is a pretty good ROM. We choose to put it on your phone. Our choice to do it. We know or should know what we are getting into as such, so there is no reason to complain.

exactly. I don't post very often because I rarely have an issue, and I can find 99% of solutions by doing a little research.

The only reason I'm posting now is to show my support for Cyanogen, which I don't normally do here because I don't want to clutter the thread with useless stuff. However, in light of Cyanogen's recent frustration and subsequent closing of this thread, I feel this is the best place to say this:

Cyanogen, you rock. There are more people that respect, value and support you than those that are ungrateful. Thanks for your continued support of the G1 and other legacy phones.

Thanks!
