I uploaded 4.2.1 to fix an issue on Dream/G1 hardware (no boot animation, probably other things). Sorry about that. Enjoy :)

    Great release! Just wanted to mention that the cm-updater isn’t updated, atm ;)

  • tw3k

    w00t! again!

  • MP

    Upgraded my mytouch w/o issue. Upgrading my sons G1 and its stuck on the android screen…20 min now. Ant ideas? Do I pull the battery?

    Thanks for your help in advance.

  • MP

    Pulled the bat, did a wipe and reinstalled …working fine now.

    Thanks again Cy

  • Jake

    I have 4.2.0 on my G1 and the boot animation came up fine… Hmm..

  • Scammah

    I too am unable to download this with “CM Updater” any ideas why?

  • http://simplyblog.net Miguel

    Thanks a ton man, appreciate the hard work! :) Updating now! Cheers!

    Updated my G1. No issues. First boot up was SLOW. Took much longer than I expected. I upgraded from 4.1.9999, didn’t run a wipe.

    Works great so far.

    I’ve been having problems with all of your roms from 4.04 on. I can get the roms to flash, no problem, they start up, I sign in and all is good. Down the line a little ways something will stop working, phone will freeze, something like that and I choose to reboot the phone. I reboot it and then the G1 screen hangs, and when I say hang I mean stays there for hours. I’ve reflashed them numerous times, reformatted both ext3 and fat32 partitions. I’ve been working on this for 16 hours now just trying to get my phone back to usable, but of course with your rom still.

  • Christina Cruz

    Just had a question. How do I go from the stable version 4.0.4 to this new one now?

  • jarrah

    still can not boot. back to 1.99

  • Arno

    Wow. Snappy as hell.
    Cyan, you’re the shit, man.

  • iPhone iWing

    Mp, what was ur sons previous rom? U might have to completly reflash from sratch. But yes pull the batt and boot into recovery, now try and flash again. If nothing then flash his previous rom without wipping to see if the system can fix its self. Its thats a no ur going to have to start all over. Sorry

    I’m really not a fan of the new app panel slider image (not too sure what it’s called, new to android scene). I much prefer the older semi-transparent square one, rather than the one now that is curvy. Just my $0.02. Not only that… but the selected image looks like a low-color image, so the gradient isn’t smooth.

  • Arno

    Whalen, what are you talking about?

  • Shane

    Don’t konw if its just me, but if i open up youtube, and click the search button, my phone will reboot every time. Other than that everything is working great, nice and quick!

  • Andy Ward

    Nice update. I like the new draw graphic. I updated with the beta update server, the default one didn’t have the update. Yay for the saphire audio fix!

  • Ragflan

    I need some help….

    1.) I was at 4.199, then I updated to 4.2.1, stuck at HTC Dream logo.

    2.) I reflashed, stuck at HTC Dream logo.

    3.) I rebooted and waited for 20 minutes at HTC Dream logo.

    4.) I tried restoring from a nandroid backup, stuck at HTC Dream logo.

    5.) I finally did a wipe, then re-applied HTC’s 1.6 recovery image followed by cyanogen’s 4.2.1 recovery. Again at HTC Dream logo. Waited 20 minutes.

    6.) Reflashed 4.2.1 again, rebooted and now still at HTC Dream logo. Still waiting.

    Is there anything else I can try? Please help…

  • Chevy

    @Sprandel

    Had a similar problem. What i did was to reload my SPL and everything is now working fine you can try that . Good Luck

  • terryx

    Everything works fine except music player. I can start a track but cannot stop or pause. When i try it just starts playing it again on top of the other one. Cannot kill with taskiller either. I have to reboot every time. All my music is FLAC if that makes a difference.

  • Blake

    Wow super fast, easy install thanks for all your hard work you are the man!!!!!

  • davide

    can you include the pdf viewer that was in 4.0.4?

  • http://rosalek.pl rosalek

    My web browser doesnt work :/

  • Ishmael

    You are the MAN! Thank you so much for all your work!

  • Gary

    I honestly want to that you for all the hard work you put into making our products better. I wish I had 1/10 the skill to do this. I have to read a guide just to edit Grub yesterday lol.

  • yz99

    very fast home screen. The only thing that slow it down is the auto-rotation. Would be nice to have a separate switch to turn it off.

  • Jake

    OK, 4.2.1 doesn’t boot on my G1, and I didn’t have any problems at all with 4.2.0…

    I wonder what’s going on

  • bornmw

    scp is not working
    looks for ssh in /system/bin/ssh instead of /system/xbin/ssh
    after I linked it there it gave a segmentation fault

  • Patrick

    I have a possibly obvious question. What does “lock home in memory” mean?

    I would like to know the technical details on this.

    Is it basically the same as keeping your kernel loaded in RAM? And what is “home” exactly, anyway?

  • pelo88

    I read somewhere eclair apps for youtube and maps would be in here, but my maps is still 3.x and no layers. I assume that’s to come?
    Also, I can’t wait for the unified inbox!

    Ever since I updated from 4.0.4 to 4.1.999 I lost the Android Touch input keyboard (thank goodness I have Better Keyboard as I hate how the HTC one interferes with the G1 physical keyboard. Any idea how to get it back? Is it the LatinIME.apk from the HTC 1.6 recovery image? Should I push that to my phone?

  • woddler

    My phone wont boot with 4.2.1 either. The android logo shows forever. I got an G1-devphone.
    Any suggestions?

  • TheTallest

    I want to say thank you for the Mod’s but I was wondering in one of the releases you had an awesome version of the Camera Ware and Cam Recorder ware that has this nifty ZOOM option but when I upgraded to 4.1.999 it is now gone could you bring that back

  • Denis

    Good work !

    Please create tags for 4.2 and 4.2.1 kernels on your github.
    Too big differences in .config’s

  • Alex

    I have found two problems so far with 4.1.2. Firstly I can’t seem to mount my phone to my PC anymore plus at some point I came back to the home screen and nothing was on it and there was only the one empty desktop (couldn’t switch to another screen). Other than that I love your mods :D so keep up the good work and I hope this helps with some bug fixes. Though I am going to try wiping and re-flashing….

  • thasro

    Excellent work. No probs whatsoever!

  • Bubb Rubb

    Woo-woo!

    Now… can anyone get myFaves working in Donut?

  • Drew

    great job i have an idea for future mods that might be useful if you have the time. My idea is that instead of having a task killer app to shut down programs, make it so when you hold the home button you can long press on a running application to stop it by dragging away or just bringing up a menu option. This is just an idea i have to make it easier to shut down apps.

  • Eddi

    Very snappy rom. Michael pointed out the new App slider. He was referring to the new Tab that open up the bottom menu. Personally I like it. the transparent tab looked cheap to me.

    Now, what’s up with the End button behavior in the spare party menu? I used to have it so the END button would throw me back to the Home screen and then standby. It doesn’t do anything with that settings. It WAS working on 4.0.2 but after the experimental builds and final stable up to this point, it does not work with that option. I’ve had to hit the hom then the red button…how annoying, please fix if possible.

  • Ryan

    Installed and works fine apart from force close everytime i open keyboard on home screen.

  • beggz

    problem with making and getting calls n i updated to 4.2.1
    love ur mods but this makes my g1 unusable

  • Dominick

    Love 4.2.1 i am new to the rooting game. I had 4.1.999 for like 3 days before 4.2 came a long. Great job keep the good work up. Thanks.

  • Jones

    I agree with @Michael Whalen. I preferred the semi-transparent drawer image. I’d love to see that back again in a future build. But saying that, I can live with it ’cause this ROM is excellent!

  • Jaz

    Having issues with 4.2.1. Cannot get MMS and for some reason, dont have any ring tone. Any fix on these issues?

  • kLyon

    great rom, smoothe. but I third the opinion on the drawer handle; i liked the older one as well. the new one dominates the screen a bit too much.

  • Ragflan

    Finally got mine to work after failing like 8 times and like 10 hours. I wiped everything including SD card, remade the partitions. It still failed to boot, but I pulled the battery and it worked.

    But now, Camera doesn’t launch and neither does Alarm Clock. I’d reflash but I’m afraid of spending another 10 hours trying everything. Anyone with similar problems?

  • Ragflan

    Spoke too soon. 4 widgets force close even after fresh install. Camera and Alarm Clock dont even open. I tried others and Amazon MP3 doesnt open, calendar does not sync (even if non-recurring entries), Gallery does not open.

    The mod is fast, but too many things are not working.

  • Jaz

    addition to comment #43, … while using bluetooth, wifi does not work.

  • Ron

    Wow, this build screams compared to 9999 on my G1.

  • Arno

    The main problems that I noticed with this build were the icons on the home screen disappearing (but reappearing after a reboot) and that FLAC is causing some trouble.

    I am not being critical, I am just providing feedback so you can keep rocking! Best Android ROM for G1, hands down!

  • Jere

    i updated from 4.0.4. i reckon this new version is a lot faster. thanks a lot.
    but the problem i found is that it doesn’t show a contact picture when making a call. and the end button behavior problem which Eddi mentioned.
    another thing is I prefer the old drawer handle.
