JF1.5, Apps2SD, Messaging Crash on Boot - G1 Android Development

So about 2 weeks ago I decided to root my phone. It was awesome to be able to run Cupcake before anyone and have root access. About a week ago I decided to move all my Apps2SD and my cache and dalvik cache as well.
All was going well until I went to text message my friend. All of a sudden my phone locked up and I had to do a battery pull to restart it. Since then when my phone boots Message will crash automatically and I cannot use Messaging or ChompSMS to send a text. I cannot attach or post the log of my issue, but can send it if you have an idea of what may be causing this. Your help is greatly appreciated. I also just have one more question:
1. I am going on vacation in a few days. If this were to happen on vacation (while my apps were on my SD card), what could I do to start fresh? Could I just go into the bootloader and do an ALT+W and then ALT+S with JF1.5 as update.zip on the root of my SD Card?

That happened to me. I repaired my ext2 partition through ubuntu and it works fine now.

I created my EXT2 partition with SDSplit from my phone. Not sure if that has a repair option -- what did you do to "repair" your EXT2 parition/
Thanks.

My other question was if I wanted to just start fresh, could I just put JF1.5 as update.zip on the root of SD card and do an ALT+W and ALT+S or will this mess stuff up?

I ran a checkdisk on the partition from within linux

A little help on flashing android screen

Hey guys,
yesterday i flashed my g1 with JF RC33 and alls fine, except by one thing: every time i turned it on, a message pop up telling that android.process.media needed to be close.
Then I did a wipe, but after this i can't turn on my phone again, it stay on the flashing android screen
What should i do?
Thanks!
it seems to be caused by a broken system file or hardware problem. could you try flashing your system again? this update.zip is signed, so something must happened during the copying process.
Simply reflash an update. I recommend you do a Nandroid backup next time. Also, make sure your SD card is in your phone when turning on. For some odd reasons, when my SD card isn't in my phone, it just hangs on the boot image. Very strange. I have Apps to SD and am running on Haykuro 5.0.2H
it looks to be an issue with your sd card, do you have apps to SD enabled or anything else with your phone that might need to access the SD card at boot? if you have apps tp SD then you need to re-push the mountd.conf and the init.rc and redo the links to your /system/sd partition. if not i would make sure that your SD card is not corrupt by formatting it again. as solomenwishing(sp) said next time you should make a nandroid backup of your phone before you mess with anything
Thanks guy.
I flash everything again and it's ok.
Now i don't know how to make the nandroid backup.
Can someone help me?
Search is your best friend here....

Well this is a sticky on this forum
okay, i had already read this before, but the only thing that i don't know for sure is this.
"Android G1 phone in recovery mode with busybox installed, including appropriate symlinks to at least tar and md5sum, as well as 'adb shell' support running as root."
My recovery image is from the JF topic "How -to- Root,Hack and flashing...."..the only thing i know is my one has the adbshell support running as root
It's ok to do this?
TKS GUYS

Dalvik-cache

does any1 have any idea if moving the dalvik-cache to the sd card is a bad idea? i did it once and after that i did a nandroid backup and i believe it bricked my phone.
Does moving the dalvik-cache to your sdcard prevent you from doing a secure nandroid backup?
thx in advance for any helpful tips/advice
I moved it based on the instructions in the ADP1.5H Build thread, but it didn't work for me. My G1 just froze at the Tmobile G1 screen. Didn't even get to the updated ANDROID flash screen.
I had to do a wipe and reboot to get it working again.
A few people have reported getting it to work and freeing up the full 71MB of internal memory, but it didn't work for me.
Let me know if you find a solution.

I'm in the same boat as you, I could never get it to work :/
I believe you must have a apps2sdcard build for this to work...
Yes you need an app2sd rom. I done mines on adp1h1.5
The first time I started the phone it took like 5mins so I rebooted it in the middle of the android screen then it took another 5mins then finaly booted with only using 12mb
Moving dalvik-cache works fine, I do it all the time. One thing to keep in mind is that after u moved it, nandroid backup will not back it up. So if you have multiple builds backed up like G H and adp builds and u put the dalvik cache in the same place on the sdcard you may run into problems when reverting back to other diffeeent builds. I always put them in different places on the card so I don't have problems with that.
I've been trying to movie dalvik-cache as well and I can't get past the G1 Loading screen. I was fine on 5.0.2Hr5-A2SD. I went from that to ADP1.5Hr2-A2SD last night and I couldn't get it to link with my apps on the sd. Did i have to start with r1 first or what? When i try to access my sd card from my pc while its in my phone i get a message saying prepare sd card and then it doesn't do anything it won't mount. Any suggestions?
It's strange. I have been able to move my apps to the SD card with no problem. I tried the move the dalvik-cache with the AppsToSD app and it worked..... once.
I had to wipe my phone, so I re-ran the AppsToSD app again and moved the dalvik-cache. That's when the problems started. None of my programs worked after that. I tried a reboot and it it froze at the G1 screen for about 10 minutes. I pulled the battery wiped to get it to a bootable state.
SHould i have let it continue booting longer?
Any idea on what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks!
Its probably best to cp the dalvik cache, then reboot. After it starts up again, rm the davlik cache and then ls. Then reboot again.
Doing it all in one shot seems to cause problems.

So this method worked for you?
I'll give it another shot when I get home tonight. Thanks for the advice.
I had /data and dalvik moved on JFvMOD and it worked great.... then I got a random reboot during downloading an app and it fried my EXT2 partition. Haven't ran apps, /data or dalvik since. I wait till the official JFvMOD 1.5 shows up.
rm * in dalvik-cache in your sd should suffice.
a better way is to mv the old dalvik-cache to a new name, so you can quickly go back to your old system. (mv only involve one inode change, much faster and safer)

Market Force Closing

So ive been trying to get apps2sd and i have succesfully done it by using apps2sd2 from the market to partition my card and then i followed the steps by Mailman below and it worked..all my apps were in the sd etc with 73 MB free...but when i click on market...it gives me an option that there is no connection when in fact i do and 2 seconds after it showa the force close message.. anyone have any idea how to fix this?
I had the same issue, had to do a full data wipe to fix it.
well seems that a full data wipe fixes it, but then when i input the commands in the terminal emulator
lucid app
lucid data
lucid dalvik
so i can get everything to the sd card it starts doing the same thing again..any ideas what is causing it?
I'm unfamiliar with the method you're using to get your apps on your SD card - mine are running on the SD card also, but I used the good ol' symlink method to do so...
It would appear your marketplace can't access your apps, or, is being locked out of something - perhaps a permissions issue on your sd partition? I had that issue when I first set up mine. All the apps were copied over with the same user/group and the market place freaked out.
The only way I was able to fix it was to copy all my apps off the sd partition to my computer, do a full datawipe, nuke all my apps, and reinstall them.
I set up a shell script that took the contents of ~/apps/*.apk and sent each to adb install, on its own line, and automated the whole thing. Took about 3 minutes to reinstall my 80 or so apps, and it restored all the app permissions to what they were supposed to - market didn't have a problem afterwards.

I have found my problem. This works great. I can't have data on my SD or it will be really sluggish. I redid the flash and the commands, but left out "lucid data" and the phone has 72MB free and feels fast again.

Don't move the data and everything should work fine.
i see what your saying. ill have to try that out, but now it seems that after i wiped my data and pressed home+back to reboot my phone it is stuck at the T mobile G1 screen and doesnt want to do anything at all anymore...it just got worse.any way to fix this? ove tried wiping again and i formatted my dscard so no update to reinstall..what should i do?
just wait... when you wipe under the new builds, it may take 10mins to boot for the first time.
also I don't know how it is possible to do app2sd with terminal emulator. when you rm dalvik-cache or app that program should crash before the shell script or command finish
I had this happen as well.. more than once.
And each time it was a result of moving the "data" over to the SD card.
I finally learned my lesson... and my phone is now solid.
Hi,
My experience on 5.02 h is that the data move does not work correctly also.
I have moved the :
apps
apps-private
davik-cache
without any problems.
85 apps installed and 61 megs free with this method.
Browser and market cache cleared 1st.
I found this to be an issue only when I had tried to make my EXT2 partition too big (Over 2GB). Exact same error, moving data to the SD, Market crash. The problem was tied to moving the data though.
I had the same problem. It apeard after I installed TA utility.
The problem is that Market is looking for it's cache directory and can't find it. In my case it's looking for it on the SDcard and I have to make the directory myself: /sdcard/cache/market.
If you have not attempted to move the Market cache to SD you might want to see if you have a /cache/market in your internal memory, and if not create it.
It should solve your problem. (worked for me)
im having the same problem too.. the Application section doesn't work for me, but im able to still go into the Game section. i tried adding a cache folder to the SD still doesnt work

How to Properly setup your phone for JACHero

Ok Guys.
I created this thread cause in the JACHero thread on at least every page everyone asks how to install it, what am I doing wrong, and why is it broken.
So let me give you step by steps of what exactly I have done for me and others to run Hero with out a problem. I will also create a thread with step by step on how to use Ubuntu Linux Live distro to partition your card.
Things you will need to make this work.
Your Brain
G1 Phone
SD Card reader
And the files I included in this thread.
My phone right now is running.
JACHero 2.3
NEW SPL
cyanogens recovery 1.2
8gb class 6sd with Swapper(Swap file on ext2 sd)
setCPU slightly overclock.
Results.
Ever since I did my new Buttons, and the SPL I included in this write up, I have not had one problem flashing any hero rom at all on my phone, nor did I ever have problem actually running hero roms.
So here goes.
First before you partition your card or do anything make sure your card is at least portioned to fat32, don't worry about any other partitions yet.
OK once you do that go ahead and take the radio zip file I am including in this thread and flash it on your phone.
But first make sure you don't already have new radio installed which is 2.22.19.26I THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. To check what radio you have, power off your phone, and power it on while holding the camera button.
If you do have new radio you can continue on to flashing the new SPL.
Flashing your SPL. (PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE NEW BUTTONS INSTALLED)
Ok this is where it might get a little tricky, and you might require a SD card reader I know I did and frankly I think this is the best way to do it and I recommend every time you do put a new update on your sd card to update your phone do it through a card reader.
Now after you flash your SPL you might or I should say more then likely will get stuck at the T-Mobile G1 screen, this also might happen after new radio flash in the previous step. If this is the case do not freak out it's normal and your phone is not bricked, but this is why having a sd card reader is important.
Ok so Here is what you do after you have flashed new Radio and SPL(Note:The steps on running Linux live distro and using it to partition your card is coming up). Boot up Live distro of Ubuntu, when its done booting, go ahead and go into the partitioning program while your sd card is hooked up in the computer.
Go ahead and set up two partitions at this time. One EXT3, and of course the other one Fat32. Your ext3 partition doesn't have to be all that big. I actually have mine set up to 512.
Once you are done creating partitions, go ahead and put the latest JACHero on the FAT32 portion and flash away (don't forget to rename to update.zip).
At this point if you follow all of these steps there is no way possible that your phone should not boot right into the system to run the initial setup.
These steps pretty much walk you through steps as if you were starting with a phone that has completly nothing on it.
Also the first boot up after flashing the new ROM, might take a few mins at the HTC screen.
Once your phone loads up and you go through the setup process go ahead and run swapper, it should be an APP that's already pre-installed.
Once you run swapper go into the setting and change the location of your swap file from /sdcard/swapfile.swp to /system/sd/swap.swp
Here is the reason why. The default location is your FAT32 partition. If you all of a sudden mount your phone to the computer with the swap file running on FAT32 you will corrupt your sd card, and then you will have to wipe and reinstall everything.
If you set the location of your swap file on /system/sd/ that's actually your ext2/3 partition and never gets mounted and you never have to turn swapper off.
Well I hope this helps some of you out. I will be writing the walk through on loading up live distro of Linux and partitioning your card sometime today.
I have used this method on a couple different phones and it has worked each time. Also I really recommend installing cyanogens recovery 1.2, as its an excellent way of making a back up of your phone and doing future flashing.
If there is anything anyone thinks that could be done better feel free to post in here.
Remember different people have different ways. I have posted this way cause it has worked for me on my phone and two other phones I setup, and each time there was no hicups.
FILES:
Radio 2_22_19_26I
NEW SPL
CM-Recovery-1.2
Ubuntu Linux Download
DISCLAIMER:
I am not responsible for anything that you might have done to your phone by following these directions. Like I mentioned before so far every time I have used this method, I have had nothing but success.
While I can appreciate this topic, I think you need to speak with less certainty that this will always work properly the first time.
For example - I'm coming from the Ramjet ROM, and the process that I have taken.
Freshly formatted 4gb sd card with a 700mb EXT3 partition, the rest is fat32.
Loaded JACHero 2.3 and renamed update.zip
Wiped twice
Installed ROM
Phone went into boot loop - allowed to run for 10 minutes
Removed battery
Attempted to install ROM a second time
Boot loop again - allowed to run 10 minutes
Wiped again
Installed ROM
Boot loop again - allowed to run 10 minutes
It seems strange, as going from a standard JAC build previously I was able to just wipe, wipe, install and had JACHero 2.1 working without a hitch. I found this strange, as people were complaining about that build, but it seems 2.3 is what's giving me the most headache.
/shrug. Guess I'll go back to Ramjet.
Great post, dude. I've rooted my phone, flashed a few ROMs, including Haykuro's Hero, moved Rosie back to run on the phone instead of the SD card, overclocked and run Swapper. I was still a bit confused and hesitant to flash the JAChero ROM. I'm feeling better about it now. Gonna flash when I get home from work today.

I can completely see what you mean by that. But only reason I decided to make this, because two other phones that were having the exact same problems, started working after I did this.
They both had the same symptoms everyone else, and no one really knows where it came from.
So I made sure they had the right radio, then the right SPL, and every time I did something to the SD Card I killed the partitions completely not just format them.
But I destroyed the partition, recreated it and then formatted it to a file system of my choosing.
my g1 is fine ive flashed every rom here and never gotten stuck on boot loop, if anything the files youre downloading for recovery and spl must be corrupted try re downloading your radio file and spl's again.
Include Disclaimer
I like your post but here is something that I would add to your post.
Even though this has worked every time for you do not assume that it will work for every one, therefore make sure you put a disclaimer out there. As you may have seen before, there have been a lot of posters that have blamed others when their phones were either bricked or stuck in boot loops.
Remember....some people may do something wrong during a step and swear that they followed it perfectly and then blame you.
A detailed disclaimer could be of some help since a lot of people will be taking your post as LAW......
for somereason im not able to update my spl is it something u must do i keep gettin a veification faild message when im tryin to flash it wiht alt + s and i cant seem to update to jachero 2.3 im using a 1 g micro sd im really not sure whats going on i have the proper raido settings and everything. also im not really sure how to create 2 partitions on my memory card im running good ol windows vista
how fast is this running.
i tried it once without swapper and it was way to slow in my eyes in order to use at as an everyday phone.
hope you have something for me (is swapper this perfect solution?)
In my opinion the perfect solution is making a a linux swap partition on your sd card.
However last time I created a linux swap partition and created my swap file there after I rebooted my phone I got stuck at the G1 screen.
I think this might have been cause because of having three partitions on the card but I am not 100% sure.
So instead I just use swapper and make it mount the swap file on my ext3 partition which seems to make this rom run really freaking smooth.
Also I have noticed significant improvements of using ext3 vs ext2, but when research how the two different file systems work it makes sense why it would make a difference.
So to answer your question, is swapper the perfect solution? Im not sure if there is anyone perfect solution but I do know that this sure ass hell makes a huge difference in how your Hero rom runs.
for those having boot loops, how about help us help you, run ddms from sdktools and grab a log of whats going on, this way we can determine an issue, because those asking for help with bootloops and asking for help is like asking me to tell you whats wrong with your car over the phone. we cant tell if we cant see whats going on. so helps us, if you have adb and not the sdktools just type
Code:
adb logcat
this way we can see what your phones trying to do.
Excellent post! I wish I this was available yesterday when I did my first Hero ROM ever. The JAC thread is huugggeeee.
Not to hijack your post, but I'll add my two cents and experiences from yesterday if you do not mind.

2. Flashed SPL 1.33.2005 from (renamed update.zip) successful (new three android skateboard logo on bottom)
hxxp://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/
3. Updated to JACHero r2.2.1 from Page 1
Now I have a boot loop, Hero -> HTC...
After installed 2.2.1 should I pop my SD card out and format it again on my computer?
Trying to do the 2.2.1 again.... Wish me luck!
**Update**
Updating to the 2.2.1 again worked.
Ok, everything works!! Much thanks to Luckenbach for the moral support, and thanks to JAC and all the other guides that I linked in my process. So if anyone else is a noob like me you can do exactly what I did (I provided links for each step where I got it from) you should be ok.

Edit: Also changing location of swapper from your info helped a lot! Thanks, I had the SD problem when I pulled out my SD card to put photos back on (instead of using adb) and I got stuck in a boot loop, I thought I was done for. Just rebooted it a few times and it was back up and running. Good tips =D
what do you mean by "new buttons"?
A quick question that ill ask here as to not clutter up JADs thread any more than it alreadsy is.
I have put on 3 of his roms in the last few days and where as they are stable they are dead slow at times for me. I am using a 2g class 2 sd card with an ext3 partition. How much more would a class 6 card speed swapper up? Is one worth getting?
Sorry to post up in this thread again, but I just wanted to provide some more of my experiences here.
I'd picked up Paragon Partition Manager and used that to format my SD card and create the ext3 partition on it as well. It seems something is wonky with how it created it, as every time I've created the partition, even with different sizes, I always get stuck in a boot loop when trying to install JACHero even though any other ROMs will install just fine.
I've put the update.zip onto my older 1gb card that came with my phone just to see if it would install, and though it took a while, it installed without any issues.
After going through the setup process, I attempted to put in my 4gb card with ext3 on it. Lo and behold, boot loop.
Seems something is funky with the way that Paragon Partition Manager creates an ext3 partition.
I'm now going to install an older ROM and go through the "creating an ext2 partition through the G1" method and then attempt to convert it to an ext3 through Cyan's instructions.
I'll try to keep up to date what's going on. I know this place isn't a blog, I'm just hoping someone will point out my idiocy if I'm making any huge mistakes somewhere.

[Q] Can't Anyone Help ???

I'll try this forum, over 200 views on my other posts and no suggestions. Is the problem that obscure ? The tablet, while not worthless, is getting there as I am unable to load any of the hacks and fixes to the SD card to install. Is there a work-around the SD card so I could reinstall the g-sensor fix ?
With all the great minds on this forum, surely someone will have some insight into my problem. To start with I am running the latest Vegan release (thanks Team) and have been since 1/1. The only thing I can think of that might have caused this problem was that I foolishly removed my SD card without dismounting it and popped in a blank one to see if it was working. Since then, I am unable to mount an SD card. If just says "Unmount in Progress". When I click on unmount, it will unmount it and give me the "Mount SD card" option, when I try to mount it, it will say "preparing SD card", then go back to "Unmount in Progress". When I try to mount a new card, it says "Card blank or unsupported file system". But all the other card I have used in my Gtab give me the same Unmount in Progress issues. I reinstalled Vegan. Apps that used to work, no longer work, they just open and close (No FC message)
Someone please help !!!

I'm not one of the g tablet great minds but I'll make a suggestion that always works for me.
1) Format your external SD card in a computer with Fat32. Preferably not a quick format.
2) Using Recovery wipe EVERYTHING, repartition/format the internal memory.
3) Reboot into Recovery
4) Connect to a computer, mount usb, copy your files over again.
5) Re-install the rom of your choice.
In my experience (at least on the HD2 with Android) crazy FC's and otherwise unexpected behavior from a freshly installed ROM means there are leftovers that were not removed from the previously installed rom.
IMHO the device should be completely empty of every bit of software before reinstalling.
Edit: On a side note, I have NOT been able to get an external SD card from recovery which is why I do everything through USB-Mount with the computer.
If you can mount via usb, you could put the ClockWorkMod (CWM) update.zip and recovery file and then reboot with Pwr/Vol+. That should install CWM.
Then you will be able to boot into CWM and repartition or whatever you need to do. Personally I would repatition, clean out the caches, wipe data, etc. and then start with a clean slate.
Hope I have not misunderstood what you need. Hope this helps.

Factory Re-set
Don't know if this will help or not, somtimes you need to clear out the cashe.
Have you tried going into settings and clicking factory reset?
You will lose your user data, but this might be enough to fix the problem. I think you have parts of two installs overlapping each other.
Also, reformatting the SD card sounds like the next step to try if factory reset does not fix the problem.
Third you could NVflash back to stock and then start over. Then do factory reset after each install.
If you have to wipe everything I would suggest formatting your internal sdcard in clockwork to 2048 and 0

If you did a factory reset and nothing happened then the reset didn't work. I would install clockwork recovery from here.

Then boot into clockwork recovery and clear data/cache. You will have to redo the market fix and install your apps. If this doesn't stop the force closes then boot into clockwork recovery and repartition your sdcard to 2048 and 0
I'm having the same problem. I did nvflash and started fresh. Installed CWM making sure to wipe data/cache. I partioned the SD to 2048/0. I installed vegan 5.1 and its update. I think I did everything by the book, yet it still says Unmount in progress. This did not occur when I was running stock.
I tried the sd card from mt Evo as well. It does the same thing. It also does not recorgnize any USB flash installed as well.
I've run out of ideas. Can anyone help?
Thanks very much.

My VEGAn 5.1.1 says same thing but I never have a problem accessing files on it (/mnt/sdcard2). Are you sure you are not confused by the fact that the internal memory is divided into 2 GB "system" and 14 GB SD1?

Be patient, it took forever to mount a thumb drive for the first time and I too had thought something was wrong. Try again after a reboot and a couple of minutes.
Hope this helps
Thanks for trying to help. I pretty much gave up and installed TNT 5.0. I've had the thumb drive in there for 5 minutes but I'll keep it in to see if it shows up. In TNT, the SD card seems to be working/appearing fine.
I really liked Vegan, but I'll keep TNT for at least a few days to see how it does.
Thanks again!
