[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
I tried out super e, but it seemed insuperior to cm5 out of practicality. I'll be a happy camper if I can get the su binary working in cm5, though.

Thanks for your help throughout this thread, you have gone above and beyond just helping me with flashing cm5, so thank you, to the fullest extent of the term.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
One question, where does the .13 spl/bootloader/whatever get the extra ram from?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
... I want to say it takes some from GPU and camera but I think possibly the radio... Its been a while so I can't recall for sure.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
Is there a quick, easy, way to get the 14mb hack? I was also wondering if cm6 had the tmobile theme chooser I've heard about.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Yes it does, the easy quick way is to flash new radio then new SPL in fastboot then boot to recovery and flash new ROM (try froyobylaszlo)

The fastboot flashes take seconds, so quick and easy
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
What danger is there of a brick?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Not much of one if using fastboot and follow directions, pretty much non existent then

Check md5

Flash radio

Flash hboot
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
How to check md5? Would I already have the proper configuration from following your "cm5 flash" steps?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Are you using Linux or windows? In Linux you can use the terminal for a quick check, same with terminal in android or adb shell.

Windows there are tons of free apps

What so you mean by proper configuration? You just download the files, I can link again if you need, then flash radio then bootloader in fastboot

Then boot to recovery and flash ROM of choice
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
Is it necessary to check md5?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
Does fastboot require any software to use? I have windows 7, windows xp, and if necessary, ubuntu.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
CM6 seems to want to play hide and seek, and I'm losing. is there any chance that you could upload cm6, .13 spl, the new radio, and gapps to gdrive and then gmail them to me? i'm just not a huge fan of dropbox/independant download sites. especially the ones with all of the ads with "DOWNLOAD" buttons that are sometimes more convincing than the actual link, if you get what I mean. :P :silly:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
Also, would it be safe for me to flash the radio and .13 spl through recovery? My computer is having major problems, as in "Ahh... a hard drive crash, it's just music to my ears.... but i'd better start looking for a replacement before i cut myself during desperate repairs..." And yes, i'm joking, i simply lost the charger, and after guests left right after diner..... something's fishy here.....
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Yes always check md5sums, in particular with bootloaders and radios, its rare to have a corrupt download but why chance a brick for a 2second check

I'll upload the files for you when I get to a PC tonight, I'll give you flashables for the radio and SPL but just note it will be safer to use fastboot, your choice
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
Why is it safer to use fastboot instead of recovery?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
because fastboot will give you an error if there is one, if something goes wrong you just dont reboot until fixed. in recovery its all or none

choice is yours but you know my recomendation - radio and spl are recovery flashable, if you want to use fastboot extract the images

RADIO

SPL

ROM

The rom is to be flashed in recovery after the radio and spl are updated

no gapps required - in rom

best of luck
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
I found cm6 and gapps, even without the ram hack, it's working like a dream (pardon the pun). I can't wait to see what the ram hack will give me.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
I found cm6 ran rather poor without the ram hack, so for sure change radio/SPL

Don't let all this talk about it scare you, its truly not a huge deal. Many have done it many of times without issue
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
What do you think? If I have checked md5, do you think that my phone will survive if I use recovery?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Like I said I used recovery to flash o so many times, fastboot is just recommend as it is safer
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
So I'll probably do recovery from the fact that my computer is now very unstable thanks to running out of battery at just the wrong moment.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
I am now having a problem with my sd card, I have not flashed either of the updates, but I can't put either on the sd card if even my computer can't mount it. Help!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
Sd card problem fixed, but I see a contradiction: I'm using fastboot to effectively remove fastboot?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
I'm not sure if I would call it a contradiction persay, but yes the new bootloader will lose most fastboot functions, but the extra ram is a worthy trade off and the process can reversed in the future
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
MMMWWWHAHAHAHAHAHA! <cough> <cough> <extended swallow>...ha <ehm> ha! De World Es Me Oyster!! (pardon my immaturity, it's just that this is the first time that I have not had to plan on how much coffee to make while waiting for my phone to load gmail, or any app for that matter)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
Well, I hadn't actually truly booted up until now, and it won't. Any ideas about how to get the Rom onto my device, preferably using this kindle fire that I have in my hands and not the computer in the other room that now refuses to boot properly?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Flash it in recovery, flashing the new bootloader and radio effectively wiped your system/boot/data/cache partitions but not your sd card
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
But I refreshed cm6 in recovery.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
The ROM you are flashing, is the kernel compatible with the 2708+ update or do you need to flash a different kernel? Read the thread of the ROM you are trying to flash and ezterrys 2708+ thread for a better understanding

Also consider just flashing the ROM I uploaded for you a few posts back, one of my favorite froyo ROMs by far for the dream
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
I was trying to get cm6 back and operational on it, but now I can't even get a restore to take me back to a day ago. I want a functional Rom back on my g1.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
There we go. E z gingerbread.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
WWWHHHOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO! Gingerbread, and as fast as donut! Thank you in the extreme, demkantor!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
Now then, while I don't expect a confirming reply, are there any honeycomb roms for the g1 that run well enough to be a daily driver?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
I don't know if anyone tried to port honeycomb. If they did it sure wouldn't be a daily driver as it wouldn't allow for calls or text

Gingerbread is as far as I would go with the dream, there are some ICS and even jb but they are just fun to play with and as of now too much lag for a daily

Glad your liking ezgingerbread, when you get time do a nandroid and try that froyo I posted for you
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
How well does cm7 run on the g1?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Try it and find out
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
So it won't give me issues, as it is not officially supported by cm?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Can't say for sure what will happen but I can say creating nandroids and flashing a new ROM does not take too much time and the only way you'll ever really know how good/bad a ROM is

Often this is a very subjunctive determination and you wont know until you flash it
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
What I can say is that it has become harder to get the actual zip files since the cm installer. Do you mind uploading it?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
What ROM in particular are you after? Most of the threads in dev section have working links, at least the newer roms
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
I am after the original cm7, no mods except for cyanogen's. Or, if you have another Rom that you've found works well on the g1, I want it to have the T-Mobile theme chooser. If you know of a way to simply install it, then that would be superb, as I'm loving ez gingerbread except for the lack of the theme chooser. I want to be able to dynamically change certain elements of the system, such as the statusbar pulldown so that I can have some ICS mixed with plain, refined gingerbread ui. (Sorry for the long, redundant speech, but I'm using the kindle fire still, and I'm just loving the extremely fast sliding input keyboard.)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Well there is no official cm7 but there are some decent gingerbread ROMs nonetheless, dw9906 and tvall made cm7 ROMs, both download links should still work

You've tried ezgingerbread and I linked you anddisas version that is theamed like ICS, nicely I may add

There's also cronmod and bananabread which are both pretty good, and some more I'm sure... Gingeryoshi? And some sense ones that are OK to I think... Can't remember a decent miui ROM for this phone but there's one or two to try.... Lots of froyo ROMs that are awesome... Really just go down the list and try a bunch, you're bound to like many of them and I'm sure at least a few will have all you are after

Let me know or post in a the ROMs dev thread if a link is broken

Happy flashing!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
What I am after is the t-mobile theme chooser, or another theme engine other than flashable zips and metamorph.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
Also, do you know a few ways to speed up ezgb? It's already fast, but I've seen in other places that it can go faster.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
The speed depends much on the applications you are using. The G1 only has about 115MB of RAM available. Enabling zram improves the situation a bit, but you must try to have as few applications as possible running in parallel, I.e. try to not use any applications starting background processes.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
What are some truly optimal settings, or would you recommend using a swap partition?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
It all depends on how you use your phone, I purposely didn't multitask much on my dream and found swap worse for me, others say its needed for them
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Swap is only useful when the memory which is swapped out is used rarely by the system otherwise continuously swapping in and out will slow down your system.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
How would I boost my speed? I've tried many eclair and froyo roms and have found that it's hard to go back one you've seen the light, gb is great, but slow sometimes.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Well its a compromise, and there really isnt much you can do that you could have done in froyo or even cupcake

some things you can try, remember everyone use their phone different

increase cpu speed

try other i/o schedulers

try swap

try compcahce / zram

try jit

uninstall poorly made/ unnecessary apps

put apps on ext4 partition instead of fat32

or even better use custom mtd partitions and only install on data

just remember this phone is over 5 years old, it may be one of the best but it aint the latest and greatest

youll have to try things out and see what works for you
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
I used an app to get swap working, set a couple of preferences, and now I'm even able to use google play with ease! What I am thankfully not experiencing is any extreme heat from the area of the sd card, probably because I set a large swap file and don't really use it for more than storing my launcher, a statusbar launcher, and google apps in the background, so there is very little high usage apps being used. I have it set to move apps that are not as dynamic, as that was probably the problem with what many people have experienced with their sd cards burning out. (Just between you and me demkantor: YIPEEEEEE!)

P.S. What do you think of my signature change? Should I go back to the signature with my phone specifications?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
Do you know how integrated the phone app is? I can't use it anyway, along with the fact that it is usually taking up about 6mb ram at any given time.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
How much would you recommend gingeryoshi? Would that be faster than ezgingerbread?:confused:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Don't try to compare different ROMs with the Android version, it's completely clueless. The programs you are installing and running on you phone have much more influence on speed / performance than the ROM.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
What do you mean 'clueless'? All I want is a very fast rom for my g1 that has the gingerbread sdk base and thus support for newer apps such as google play.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
Something I really want to know is if I could remove the phone app, or if there is a stable way to edit the rom to not install it, as who nowadays actually has a phone contract on their g1?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
Why would the reason be that the dialer requires it, as I thought it was the dialer? Is there a way I can simply freeze it unless directly opened?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Titanium backup pro will allow you to freeze, but make a nandroid first, uninstall it and see what happens. If you have issues just reinstall backup. Quick and easy test
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
There we go... I used link2sd to delete the data for the phone app and then used ES file explorer in root mode to delete the apk, it's working great now, and now I know what it feels like to have a clear notification bar, it's a nice feeling psychologically to feel like I've completed everything (I'm not sure if I spelled psychologically right, but that is what autocorrect changed it to).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
WOOOHOOO! (sent from my g1 running gingerbread with ease and grace...most of the time anyway, as when it can't handle it, it doesn't try to resolve it, it just reboots and ignores its troubles until they reappear).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merkman:
Hi. Been playing with smartphones for a long time, but I'm no developer, and definately not an expert. So I look to those more experienced than I for an answer to this question.

Dropped my Note II and shattered the screen. Hadn't done this since a Windows Phone back the 3.0 or so OS days (when if you pulled the battery, you lost all the data stored on the phone). Knew full well I wasn't going to be able to get one under contract, having got the Note II only months prior, so I went to Engadget and saw the "best available" was the Galaxy S 4. And word was the Google Play edition was a little faster without the bloatware or carrier stuff, so that's exactly what I ordered and have now.

Got the phone and read about the 4.3 update, and how that messed up 3rd party app ability to access the memory card. Having a 64GB card, I wanted full functionality. And as I didn't see anything about an Official Google update or patch (4.31 perhaps?), I followed instructions to root the phone, installing the recovery partition as part of the process, and using SuperSU to allow me to edit the file for memory card permissions to work correctly. ONLY AFTER I had done the fix, did I install my memory card from the Note II and it's seem to work perfect.

So I'm using my phone Thursday, and I remember how Flixster won't work with SuperSU installed. And looking for an app that will hide my SuperSU unlocked from from Flixster, everything says the S 4 is different and this won't work atm. Thinking to myself, "Well... I don't really need my phone unlocked... as I'm not updating the OS nightly or anything, maybe I can just remove SuperSU and I'll be fine. This actually DID work, thought not EXACTLY how I'd have preferred. I CAN use Flixster with SU gone from the device, but when I reboot the phone it STILL shows the unlocked symbol at the bottom of the front page. Would love to fix this, but the articles I've read seem to indicate using SU rights to change it. :(

So my phone is unlocked, and probably still rooted, but I do NOT have Super User permissions atm. If I wanna get the first screen at reboot to NOT show my phone unlocked (because I'm OCD and it's BUGGING me), do I have to go through reinstalling SU somehow? Or is there some way to make the boot logo go back to the old way?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] firepacket:
I've noticed on other sites that this comment by HTC has somehow convinced people it is possible to get an unlocked device on Verizon.

This is FALSE

Verizon will NOT activate a non-Verizon model of The One. I already tried to activate the Google Edition and failed. The rep told me "It's because it doesn't have Verizon software on it". I responded by saying "That's the whole point" and she didn't have much to say.

Nobody should think that this is about people trying to get "cheap" unlocked phones - it's about having ANY unlocked option.

This is about our ISP trying to control our computers hardware and software, and we need to recognize this and fight back. Otherwise, before you know it, Comcast will be forcing you to buy their computers and run their software just to use the internet.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] wiredout46:
switch providers then.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Tag798:
Actually, they don't come with the CDMA radios that are necessary to operate on Verizon's network. The person you talked to didn't know what they're talking about, the device couldn't be activated even if the rep wanted to.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] .kronos.:
actually the verizon one is unlocked lol. that's probably what that supposed comment was talking about.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cstrife999:
He means an unlocked phone being used on Verizon. Not a Verizon phone that's unlocked. Its a bit different. A Verizon phone that's unlocked is still set by default to Verizon but an unlocked phone cannot do Verizon voice (perhaps data I don't know)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cesium:
Lol good job trying the google edition on VZW, given that it does not have a CDMA radio or the proper LTE bands :rolleyes:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nrfitchett4:
it also looks like if Verizon gets the Nexus 5, it will be its own version like the galaxy nexus. The version that passed through the FCC didn't have verizon bands.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] firepacket:
Yeah I know, kinda stupid. But it was because I had just read this whole article about how if you wanted to get The One on VZW early, you could just buy the Google Play edition.

The website was also VERY unclear about carrier support. Without doing research on the exact frequencies, there was really no way for the average person to know that it wouldn't work on Verizon.

It honestly felt like I was duped. So I shipped the phone back to Google, but then they never issued me a refund even after 30 days. Only after calling my credit card company did they refund all but a 15% restocking fee. Doing business with Google blows.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] wireroid:
TBH... it's your fault for trusting garbage blogspam. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but that's just what it boils down to. A quick 30 second look around the site shows that all they do is copy and paste the same filler text for each "article", change up a few words, and post it.

On top of that, it's common knowledge that Verizon is a CDMA carrier and does not just let you activate any random phone on their network. Only GSM carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile allow that.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] firepacket:
I don't really care if you think it's my fault. Thanks for sharing though :good:
[Networking] tr4v:
Can anyone give me a step by step guide on how to troubleshoot a repeater/access point device when the factory reset button fails and it's impossible to access the configuration page through 192.168.2.1 ?

The device I'm working with: Siemens Gigaset Repeater 108

I can connect it to a pc and ping it, but can't access its config page. Also, I've used the 30 30 30 rule for trying to reset it, without any luck.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LemonNinja:
I'm on CM10.2 and was trying to restore my GOD when it wouldn't seem to connect, would the problem be because I'm using the Sense 5 ports and not the Sense 4 versions that aren't in beta?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
I've seen some people asking whether or not GPS was working on CM 10.2. I'm currently running the 9/3 IRC build and haven't played with GPS much so I can't comment as to whether it's working or not. One thing to always do if you have GPS issues with a AOSP ROM is make a backup of your AOSP ROM and restore or flash a Sense 4 ROM. Turn GPS on and get a good lock, then restore your AOSP backup. You can also try downloading GPS Tools from the Play store and clearing AGPS while on Sense 4, in addition to getting a good GPS lock. If you still have issues you can report them in the CM thread or go to the #htc-evo-4g-lte IRC and inquire there about your issue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LemonNinja:
Luckily that fixed it! Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
No problem, glad it worked.
