Awesome mate

Very nice upgrade. But there is a typo in the spare parts. Above Font size it is written: Launcher rotatation, shouldn’t it be Launcher rotation? more than that just awesome as it is used to.
Daniel

Nice! Thanks for the icons. Too bad you can’t do much about Google’s official apps… fortunately I don’t have any of them on my main screen.

Hopefully developers will adopt the new icon guidelines (even if they aren’t officially written yet) better than the old ones. I can’t think of even 5 apps that followed the current guidelines… that perspective view is just too damn hard for a non-designer, and few apps can actually count with a professional artist.

Lovely release!
I was on 4.2.3 and suffering through USB misbehavior. This version is gorgeous!
Just got the new Google Maps with Navigation on my 4.2.4 G1!
Hunter

God damn it, literally just got done installing 4.2.3… Thanks though.
Daniel

Am I the only one seeing a few duplicate settings on the browser?
Unclefrancis

I have to flash every update, I can’t help it. Have always been happy with your rom, it keeps me excited about my g1. Thank you!
pvnr

pvnr

also browser location bar is not coming, when i tap at the top of the browser.

This was working 4.2.3
Kev

Does anyone know if you’ll need to re-apply the google maps navigation hack after upgrade to 4.2.4?

Great Job, upgrade to 2.4, but local and text setting limited for 6 countries only. Could you make to includes all countries as prev. version

In the browser settings, there are a few settings that are repeated…
“Lock in landscape,” “Hide notification bar,” and “Mobile Web Settings” appear twice, consecutively.
Dik

I intall it just now, thank to the CM Updater that inform me.
Really nice icons, I have to test it before tell more… but always good work… Thanks Cyano!!!
It take SOME minutes in first run with ANDROID animated logo before start. atfter the first reboot 1 minute exactly for press power to home screen, like the 4.2.3.1
Justin

Lovin the new icons! I was just reading through XDA about navi….seems mass sketchy, hopefully Cyan releases a mod with that soon.

Personally, I’m hoping for multitouch keyboard support in 4.2.5 of 4.3/4.4. Unlesd I’m too drunk/dumb to know that its enabled.
tr3sor

I wainting the download, iam very expective.

Great Work!!!!

Thanks!!!
Paul

It seems to be running smoothly for me. I’m not seeing any of the browser nor market issues described above.
slav

Greate update, but when I trying turn on wi-fi then G1 rebooting. Anybody know how to fix it? Thank you
Dominick

Great, runs smooth as silk extremely pleased. Thank you guys very much. If you have problem try a wipe then reinstall. Worked for me.
josh

Hey guys I am getting Widgets freezing and not loading when the screen oriantation changes noticed calwidget and weather bug elite. Any ideas do I have to fix permitions maybe. Mytouch 3g 32b cyanogenmod 4.2.4 thanks Josh
macdaddy

Everything works now!just wiped and then update.there’s the fix for every1 having problems!
JB

I am seeing duplicates in the Browser settings as well. I’m not seeing crashes and the browser and market both seem to work fine for me. The updated icons look great!

If only I could figure out how to use USB tethering and Bluetooth OBEX. Is there documentation somewhere for this?
paulie

Any word on DivX support in the future?
Lloyd

Working on G1 which just did CM updater from previous stable build to this one. The calendar app is “stopping unexpectedly”. Would you folks suggest wiping and re-installing? Or is this a problem any of you are having?

Looks fantastic and all the work you do is incredible. Having my G1 feel zippier than my friends Droid is a testament to your work!
Johnny 5

So you say this is the new (Eclair) version of google maps but there is no turn by turn navigation like on the Droid ??? whuts up ?
Jason

Upgrade was flawless, but my MyTouch3G keeps restarting. My G1 seems to be functioning fine.
pvnr

when i get a incoming call, Mytouch 3g is restarting.
Dar

After updating since last night, my G1 keeps rebooting. At this rate of rebooting, I don’t think the phone will last. What is going on? How do I fix this issue?

Thanks,
angelus

This is the best cyanogen rom ever. Works perfectly. The previous builds I had a real problem with gmail being slow delivering emails to my phone and sometimes not at all. This one has none of that issue and I’ve noticed really fast no hangs at all! Thanks Cyanogen!

4.2.4 made my G1 spontaneously reboot itself every 1 to 3 minutes.

rolled back to 4.2.3.1 and all is well again.

any suggestions for getting 4.2.4 working right without wiping? would running fix perms after flashing help perhaps?
Dar

If I have to wipe, I will have to start adding apps and arranging them all over again and it is a time consuming process. A couple of posts here indicated the same issue of rebooting. Please fix and advise solution. Thanks,
Kev

4.2.4 flash works perfectly. just had to reboot the phone to get media to play through BT, not a problem. Also not experiencing any browser issues….google nav continues to work after update as well.
CyanNewbie

@#12 Kev:
I applied v424 from v4231 without wiping, and I still have my modded Google Nav loaded and working. Yeah! I do not use the apps to SD. So far so good.

Cyan tweeted, he is NOT going to include a Google NAV mod in his mods.

Is calendar sync issue ever going to be fixed in cm roms?

Hi, I just upgrade and everything looks ok. How can I get Google Nav in my htc magic? thank you
Mooed

Almost perfect for me… Just a little problem with the “azerty” who never apears, even after a reboot.
I just remplaced those files with some founds elsewhere :
system/lib/ libt9.so
system/app/ Clicker.apk, HTC_IME.apk, LatinIME.apk
And now all is okay.

Big Thanks for your work !
Hunter

So I posted earlier about how I had just barely upgraded to 4.2.3? Well Google voice wasn’t working on 4.2.3 and now it is. You fixed my problem with an update an hour after I discovered I had a problem. Thanks Cyanogen!
Flynhawaiian

Maybe someone can answer my quick question but I just purchased the motorola droid last week but would the new version of cyanogen work on my motoral droid or do I have to wait for a specific ROM to come out for that?
Dan

Flynhawaiian — personally, whether it works or not I think it would be a silly move, because you’d be going from Android 2.0 to 1.6 (albeit, a heavily modified version).

Nice update
Is it possible for the phone to vibrate when we receive a text?
As me and my friend can’t find any way to enable this.
Oh yea, we are using G1s

Noobish question: If I run a nandroid backup under 4.2.3.1, then wipe and then flash to 4.2.4, will i then be able to restore from that nandroid backup or will it fail due to the different rom version?

(4.2.4 makes my phone reboot every 1 to 3 minutes, so I want to try a wipe but, not if i have to re-enter, reinstall, reconfig everything.)
http://www.handango.com Reality3k

My home screen was reduced from 5 panels to 3 panels. Basically I can’t get to the right 2. Anyone else seeing this?
http://www.handango.com Reality3k

Ah hah! Found it. There’s an option in the home submenus and it had defaulted to 3 for some reason.

Cool stuff.
But i can’t get apps downloaded from Markets while WIFI is on. (I can with 3G connection).

And one suggestion: if you could add some more options in the phone options (the menu when holding the power button) like Vibrate mode, etc..

Thanks.
eric

I have adp 1, and have had up to 4.1.99 however do not now. Was in JF 1.42 with the 1.24 radio (?) I think, when I reinstalled CM updater 4.2 and did what I hoped would be an update to 4.2.4
The SD is not partitioned.

Here is my problem: I am stuck in the first ANDROID screen, and nothing seems to be happening. How long should I wait before trying to reboot? What else might I try?
nemo

the flash worked great without wiping. Thanks for all the hard work!

anyone? anyone? bueller?
