    Disregard. Found what I was missing by reading the xda site. Thanks.

  • guttus

    Gmail issue fixed itself. Great job with everything. I missed the gallery 3d so I pulled it from test 5 and threw it in. It works great.

  • falcom

    I installed CM 5.0.7, but Copilot Live 8 don’t launch with this ROM.

    idea????? Thanks.

  • speedy

    Steve you are a god! Can’t wait for a mod based on 2.2 with flash although I can tell that this one is really pushing the G1′s hardware to the limit, one more update and then I’ll upgrade! Thanks again, beer coming your way…

  • jibril

    It is great. But I really liked the 3d gallery in the tests version. Also, who did you change the on call interface or whatever that’s called? I mean the one that appears when you call somebody, it was so neat and useful. It is not there anymore? I think I will get back to the test5 version =(. Any ideas?

  • googlesown

    So the 3D gallery was just in the test version? Why remove it? I was wondering why I saw 5.0.7 users on youtube with 3D gallery but I do not have it.

    CM5 – GREAT WORK CYAN TEAM !!!

  • tdhmtutsrup

    Havent experienced any problems besides lack of connecting to 3G, not sure if its just a tmobile issue or not, but edge is doable

  • Marc G

    I’m assuming it has to do with the facebook from market breaking everything but I went from 4.2.14 with Apps2SD to a clean install (with wipe) of 5.0.7. Since I had Apps2SD my apps and the facebook from marked was carried over to the new install and now Google Contact Sync isn’t working (tells me that “Sync is currently experiencing problems, it will be back shortly,) and the market just wont load at all (blank empty market pages).

    The problem is with the CM forums being down I have absolutely no idea how to find the replacement facebook apk to fix this. Any direction will help, thanks! ([email protected])

    Aside from this its a great update! Thanks for all the hard work!

  • David

    Works great! But still having and issue with Gmail and Market. They close a second or two after attempting to open.

    Have gone into manage Apps and cleared data/Cache for gmail and other google apps as suggested but no luck. Any ideas?

  • Bryan

    Is it me or with update 5.0.7 you can not mount SD card to computer?

  • kudooman

    im having problems going back to homescreen…it always takes sometime before my apps and everything show up

  • Tevye

    A couple people are having the same issue I am having and no one is commenting on the issue. I upgrade from CM4.2.15.1 to CM5.0.7DS. After the last reboot, the splash screen keeps splashing for 45+ minutes. How do I fix this? Using a G1. Followed directions exactly as written. Please help.

  • Tevye

    **UPDATE**

    I pulled the battery. Did a wipe.
    Re-flash cyano 5.0.7 DS and g-apps… it works!

  • Lee

    Thanks to everyone who worked so hard on 5.0.7. This is the first custom ROM I’ve put on my Ion and everything is working much, much better than I ever expected. At this point I haven’t had any issues at all.

  • lamka

    GPS problem is fixed by flashing the 2.22.23.02 radio manually

  • ppb

    Downloaded, flashed, and used for these days. It’s really nice to see my old G1 still have change to taste things like this. Although some times, it seems launcher got restarted after pressing home, it’s a great job! Thanks, CM always be my favorite rom.

    P.S. As 2.1 launcher is not included, I installed LauncherPro form the marked, with swap on SD, it works fine.

  • lamka

    After sometime, my phone information revert to CM 5.0.7 Test7 in the about phone section automatically…

    Anyone same as me?

  • Flasher

    Please update
    “Full Update Guide – ADP1 Firmware to CyanogenMod”
    on the wiki to reflect CM5.

    Thanks…

  • http://none Coderiu

    Hey Bryan, I had this issue before and what I did somehow seems not really a solution but the mount worked after that!
    After I connected my G1 through USB I went to Setting>Wireless & Networks> Internet tethering. So I enabled the internet tethering until the driver was installed (Not really important to install the driver anyway) then I disabled the tethering again. After that I did the mount through G1 and it worked! Try that and see what happen. I have no clue to explain that anyways :D

    good luck

  • orayo48

    Hat off for a great job 4 all the “staff”. Running perfect after few days without reboot. Battery drain awesome low: went to 75% after 12 hours of normal use, with screen at 100%, wifi and BT on, and all sincing, updating, etc. working (no battery save action taken).
    Installed swapper and phone runs even better (Magic 32A) :D

  • Kostas

    For people having problems with slow return to home: try to simply restart your phone. First time I booted into CM 5.0.7 returning to home was taking several seconds, and each widget visibly took some time to appear. After restarting, pressing home brings the home screen almost instantaneously!

  • matt. dicker

    This is a great upgrade(5.0.7 for Dream, US), but I have one problem. I can’t seem to get my dream/G1 to tether internet anymore. It doesn’t matter if I use the built in USB tether feature that did work for version 4. or a wifi tether app(not pdanet). I did a fix permissions with no luck. Tried wipe and flash again, tried to recover back to version 4 but nothing works. Any suggestions?

  • http://www.liuyong.us liuyong

    why didn’t i have any gallery app, I don’t mean 3d gallery, there wasn’t any gallery app, is it because i didn’t full wipe?

  • pvnr2008

    How to root myTouch 1.2 ? Please help me. There are no rooting instructions posted in Wiki also.

    Please help..

  • chr0n0

    @matt.dicker
    Have you upgraded to the new wifi tether version? Available here. I am using wireless_tether_2_0_2-pre9.apk with no issues. Pick your poison, and best of luck!

    Cyanogen strikes again, haha! Who is that masked man? Two thumbs up as always. I have been using your rom for a long time, and wasn’t sure if it was a typo when I read that you had brought us 2.1. I put this on my G1, and that puppy smoked. Been running it since the day it was put up, and it’s like you breathed new life into my seemingly bit of forgotten hardware. All hail! :D I’ll admit, I was skeptical about the idea of 2.1 on my Dream; though I’m not sure why…every release has been more amazing than the last. I should have known that you would not release it if it wasn’t up to snuff. Keep on keepin on and many thanks. I too, owe you a beer. Or 24.

  • Mike C

    Bryan:

    I had the same problem, but it was fixed with a reboot

  • joseph pdx

    ran fine on my g1 for about a day… it crashed. rebooted it and it wiped all my contacts… was unable to re load my last backup also… kind of a bummer but cyanogen is an amazing product. anyone else have this problem?

  • AJ

    hey i flashed the radio and death spl and im missing a few apps and all my contacts can anybody help me? i came from 1.0 on my TMo G1

  • aj

    i flashed it again then i flashed a google apps compressed zip and now im stuck on the hc screen any ideas on how to help?

  • http://c0up.posterous.com c0up

    Still having a random issues with gmail sync not always working, but fine apart from that. I posted a guide on my blog to upgrade to 5.0.7 that I think is a *bit* simpler than the XDA one, if anyone’s interested [for the Magic/MyTouch]. http://c0up.posterous.com/upgrading-an-htc-magic-to-cyanogenmod-507

  • Luther

    Installed from vanilla and runs like a charm on Magic 32B / A1 Austria. Thanks for the good work.

  • http://www.the-electric-elk.net/blog/ Tonka

    Great work guys! First time mod install on my 32B magic and all works well. I have a couple of minor issues (Ill check the forums and see if they can be fixed later) but definitely much MUCH better than the official 1.6 install Ive had to put up with….

  • Massimiliano

    Guys, it sounds strange to me that I performed an upgrade from 4.2.15 and I didn’t meet any problem, and you – after performing a full-wipe – came accross lot of problems.
    Are you really following the install instructions in the wiki page?

    @ Falcon: As far Copilot is concerned, as usual, it’s a problem with Copilot, and I suggest everybody to replace Copilot with Sygic Mobile Maps.

  • Bubba

    Nice job. Mt3g. Possible to get amazonmp3. App back.

  • hopefulfilled

    For anyone waiting for a less sluggish cyanogenmod on their G1, this is it! I went back to stock after using 4.X.X for awhile because it wasn’t as sluggish. 5.0.7 is much smoother than 4.X.X and I’d say it out performs stock in some areas.

  • tpauli

    the best ever — everything works fine [CM 5.0.7] without any problems on my magic :-)

  • JImmy13

    @bubba Search XDA-developers.com for the app you can download and install it from there.

    I just find my phone a bit slower with cm-5 but will still not revert

  • chris

    hey, i don’t see anyone throwing this out there yet, but my friend and i both are having this problem (two different states, so no, they aren’t connected) – when you connect to computer via usb, neither device sees the other. the charge light turns on and no connect notifications appear on either screen. the only way i was able to connect was to leave usb connected and restart phone. if i unplug and reattach soon, it’ll still work. but when i try later, same issue occurs. any idea?

  • chris

    so, after realizing there were 3 pages of comments, i realized that some other people are having the same issue. (page 2) #31 Tommy, and #45 Danny. one found a fix and didn’t realize it was temporary, and the other just didn’t try anything…. so anyway…………….. any ideas?

  • sypher

    works perfect on magic faster than the 4.2.15.1

    Great work Cyanogen, but in this 5.0.7 t7 and 5.0.7 stable,
    I dont have any 3G data connection… ;/
    any ideas ?

  • Craig

    Chris, I’ve had the same problem from day 1. It doesn’t happen when first installed, but after 1 reboot, there is no usb connection option. I’m wondering if it could be the computer OS causing it because it only happens when I plug into my Mac – not a windows machine. Are you using a Mac?

  • bubba

    Can’t boot onto recovery, anyone else?

  • findich

    before i had intension-rom (also eclair) on my private htc dream and superD on the my company’s dream.
    i resume that CM5.0.7 is realy more stable than intension and until now every app i tried worx fine. the reactiontime for phone app is also acceptable short. but with the CM5.0.7 i have 3 hours less batterylife in standby than intension. 1time the device was rebooting itselfes without a warning. but anyhow this rom is great!
    on the company’s device i had to erase it and go back to donut. reason is the contacts.apk in the company we need the option 4 showing contacts as qr-codes wich seems 2 be not supported by the new contacts.apk. is there a posibility 4 to downgrade to contacts.apk or comes a qr-code output of contacts (details) also in the new version?
    thanx 4 Ur great work

  • escosk8r

    Thanks for all your hard work and this new rom, I’ve been using your stuff since day one and your roms are by far the best out there. This new eclair rom is awesome!
    Thanks!

    I can’t get 3G stable on my Rogers HTC Dream. Everything else works fine except for my data connection (I am also using the latest radio required for the e911 fix). When I first booted it I had data but after about 24 hours the data connection drops even if I restart the phone or do a battery pull… I tried doing a wipe but nothing works. I called up Rogers to get them to reset my data connection and then 3G works but 24 hours later it stops. I’ve had them reset the connection 3 times now. There’s something that this ROM is doing to kill my connection at the towers permanently until I get them to reset the switch (even putting my SIM card into my iphone after the connection has died won’t bring back my 3G until I get them to reset it.)

    Any ideas? I’ll try using my Iphone for a bit to see if it could be Roger’s fault but I have a feeling it’s the ROM.
