I said I would flash cyanogenmod on a friends G1 because he was fed up with 1.6. I've flashed many custom ROM's on several different devices before but I've made a mess of things with this G1 and I can hardly hand back an unusable phone so I would really appreciate your help.

I rooted the phone using Androot, backed up the apps and settings using titanium backup and then the texts using a text backup app. I then downloaded Rom manager and flashed the latest clockworkmod recovery. Next I downloaded the latest official cyanogenmod rom for the dream/g1 and placed it on the phones SD card using my computer. I then re-opened rom manager and used it to select the zip file from the sd (to flash it) on prompt I checked two boxes one to wipe data and one to wipe the dalvik cache and pressed ok.

The phone rebooted into the recovery wiped the stuff, supposedly flashed the rom and rebooted. However it got stuck on the t-mobile g1 boot screen(it never showed anything else first or anything after) I left it for ages with no joy. I then tried wiping from the recovery and flashing again - same thing so i put cm5 on and tried flashing that. Same problem. Then i realised that it probably would not work because I would need to use DangerSPL as the /system partition is too small on the dream/g1. To be honest at this point I can't be bothered with to do that and this guy will be happy with anything above 1.6 to be honest so I thought I would try and flash CM4 because that's based on Eclair I believe (and so it not require I use DangerSPL or any other method to repartition the NAND). However, I tried it twice and still no luck.

At this point I'm somewhat panicking as I cannot seem to make the phone boot and it isn't even mine! Is anyone able to help?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wollac11:
Anyone? Please?

Look, at this stage I will forget custom roms etc. If anyone can tell me the easiest way to get this phone booting android again i would be very grateful.

Even if you could just tell me exactly how to restore it to stock 1.6 from here?

I have flashed roms on phones before - never had a problem but this is driving me crazy - please help!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] anxsds:
It's been way too long since I rooted mine to be of any real help but I shall try nonetheless.

Firstly, there is a guide in the G1 forum to unroot and get back to stock firmware: Here (but note that I've never done this).

I must stress though (admittedly from memory) that if you have flashed an SPL or radio image at all, be VERY careful about the order in which you revert back to stock (or go to get a custom ROM depending on which way you decide to go). The G1 is very picky, and flashing things (mostly SPL and radio IIRC) in the wrong order will brick the device. That said, if you follow the instructions you find to the letter you should be OK. But yeah, read twice, flash once.

There is a lot of information in the stickies in the G1 forum. It could take a while to wade through but it should all be there. Failing that, post in the Q&A or General G1 subforums and I'm sure a current user will help you out.

I apologise if I've just posted a bunch of stuff you already know/have read - like I said, I've not used the phone in a while - just trying to offer what I can.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wollac11:

No worries now guys i've done it! It was quite complicated but its all sorted now. If anyone is trying this and has the same (or similar) issue then pm me and I will tell you how I sorted it.

My wife is into this Italian soap opera called 'un posto al sole' and in the yesterday evening episode there was a laptop with (in the minds of the writers, lol) a "hacker script" running on it.

Since my wife isn't techie at all she asked me to see what was on the screen and to my surprise there was a CSS style sheet from XDA. :D

Screen here.

If you want to check it for yourself, open http://www.rai.tv/dl/RaiTV/hd/raitvhd.html then in the right combo box select Un posto al sole 2009/2010 and then the episode from 05/05/2011. Between 23:36 and 23:38 you can see it. :D

I have an aria i just bought, and i wanted to backup my contacts and sms similar to using pim backup. I did not want to go the google route, right now i have all these email contacts on my phone and i dont want them.

I do not have a data plan so i just want to keep my sms and contacts on my sd or on my pc but dont want to have anything to do with gmail. Just a simple app.

Is there an option for this on android?
[HTC Aria General] mtnlion:
Several.I personally use mybackup root for those things.
[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
Not 100% on this, but if you're on a Sense rom cant you use HTC Sync for that stuff? That would sync your contacts to your computer I believe.

I'm on Continuum v5.3. Awesome ROM....but I can't take the stock gingerbread battery.....Can someone help me MOD it? I would love to get HoneyComb's with % in it. I tried UOT Kitchen but doesn't change a thing on my phone.

Also I would like to change messaging bubble colors they are both a shade of grey....so not very easy to tell what is what...

Please help!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Vivified:
Have you thought of flashing a theme? UOT kitchen works fine for me, you must be doing something wrong IMO
[Captivate Themes and Apps] keitaroguy:
With uot

Did you put in the sense thing too or just the frame work or the systemui.apk what did you do? Ive tried multiple times and have not seen a change?? I've you have done it would love to know how
[Captivate Themes and Apps] keitaroguy:

[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoman94:
The install script from UOT doesn't work properly. You have to manually put them into your phone using supermanager or root explorer and replace the 2 apk's manually then reboot or you could replace them from within the 5.3 zip and reflash.

Have you checked out the 7 themes we have available for Continuum v5? Link is in my sig.

Hi,

I'm trying to show something to users from system level script. I'm currently trying to interact with user by sl4a and python - but this is harsh way. Perhaps there is an other way (I'm too dumb in java to know that ;) ) to call notification/notificationManager from command line with "am"...

Here is short introduction to am. Here is full description of am script:

root@urukdroid:/root# cat /system/bin/am
# Script to start "am" on the device, which has a very rudimentary
# shell.
#
base=/system
export CLASSPATH=$base/framework/am.jar
exec app_process $base/bin com.android.commands.am.Am "$@"

root@urukdroid:/root# am
usage: am [subcommand] [options]

start an Activity: am start [-D] [-W] <INTENT>
-D: enable debugging
-W: wait for launch to complete

start a Service: am startservice <INTENT>

send a broadcast Intent: am broadcast <INTENT>

start an Instrumentation: am instrument [flags] <COMPONENT>
-r: print raw results (otherwise decode REPORT_KEY_STREAMRESULT)
-e <NAME> <VALUE>: set argument <NAME> to <VALUE>
-p <FILE>: write profiling data to <FILE>
-w: wait for instrumentation to finish before returning

start profiling: am profile <PROCESS> start <FILE>
stop profiling: am profile <PROCESS> stop

<INTENT> specifications include these flags:
[-a <ACTION>] [-d <DATA_URI>] [-t <MIME_TYPE>]
[-c <CATEGORY> [-c <CATEGORY>] ...]
[-e|--es <EXTRA_KEY> <EXTRA_STRING_VALUE> ...]
[--esn <EXTRA_KEY> ...]
[--ez <EXTRA_KEY> <EXTRA_BOOLEAN_VALUE> ...]

[<URI>]

Since am allows to call java app, action and pass key value - it perhaps can be used to show notification bar with message? Anyone knowing in java/android can take a look at this and give me some advice? (it does not need to be notification bar, any notification with text will do).

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irie27:
TitaniumBackup is the way to go. Also, install Clockwork Recovery. Do a nandroid backup before installing a new rom.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desai827:
Definitely just pay for titanium backup pro and use that. After flashing a Rom just skip setup, open titanium backup and restore everything then restart the phone .

Batch scripts are under backup / restore tabs menu.

It does seem smoother than 15 FPS to me as well. I believe our high FPS counts in this are around that, but we dip enough in to the 10-15 FPS range to make the lower average come out.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djbacon06:
yup, try to ODIN back to stock.

Also you may want to try re-downloading the once click root, just to be safe. Run it again and make sure you have an EXT4 compatible kernel/ROM on your sd card before hand. You'll have to flash that once you boot into CWM.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ignorance1:
i can get into download mode, but i havent flashed a rom yet. all i did was try to root my phone with one click root. should i still try odin
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djbacon06:
yes, ODIN back to stock and try again. One click root 3.0.0.6 is only if you want to convert to EXT4. If this is the case, you have to flash a compatible kernel and rom.

If you do NOT want to convert, then use the one click root 2.X.X.X. You will not have flash anything else and you will be rooted.

Or if you want to make things even easier, check out the development section and ODIN the stock plus rom. It's pre-rooted, RFS or EXT4, and has additional tweaks to make life good.

If it failed, try a different USB cable and/or a different USB port. If you are using a desktop computer, make sure you are using USB ports on the back of the tower, instead of front USB ports.

Hi

The SGT is the first and last Samsung (and perhaps Android) device I will ever buy due to the complete lack of official updates available for it. I am not interesting in flashing hacked roms, I just expect Samsung to provide a timely release of new android versions very soon after google makes them available.

In respect of updates, compared to iOS devices, Android devices are so far behind its untrue --> While 2 year old Apple devices such as the iPhone 3GS are updatable to the latest version of iOS, 3 month old Android devices do not get access to the latest version of android. Its frankly disgusting.

Anyone know when I can expect an update for my SGT to Android 2.3/3.0 (sim free wifi+3g version)?

I've had a pre-order on the go with Amazon for a 7" iconia tab A101, but that has been delayed until 30th June now!! Looks like I am stuck with the SGT and its outdated/buggy/slow OS for some time. I should have just bought an iPad...

Android April version numbers stay relatively unchanged from the previous month

http://www.androidcentral.com/android-april-version-numbers-stay-relatively-unchanged-previous-month

So only around 4% of handsets have gingerbread. Hmm......I would probably consider the Tab to be up to date then? Since that 4% will be mostly consisting of Brand New handsets. Like the galaxy S2,etc. I do actually have an S2, my second samsung device of all time. Is gingerbread much different to froyo? nope. can barely tell tbh. Not like the leap from 2.1 to 2.2. Though if you asked if the dual core made a difference, I would have to say yes.

Exactly.

trying to compare a iphone/ios to a Android OS and licensed devices is completley retarded and shows how ignorant the OP is.

iOS is designed to run on 4 devices from a specific manufacturer, whereas Android is licensed to be developed for MANY different manufacturers and MANY MANY MANY devices.

If the OP cant handle a real OS ad real device he should get a lobotomy and get a iphone.
