sound

i have updated to this.. has anyone had any issues with the sound when on a call. i have noticed the volume is really low in headset and on speaker. however the person on the other end tells me when on speaker that i am very loud. I dont know what the problem is because the ringer and music sound great from speaker. any help would be appreciated.

Please help!!!

I think I might have bricked my phone if someone could please give me some quick information on what I should do. I have the JF 1.42 build and I tried upgrading to android 1.5. I watched Coolpstuts tutorial on how to upgrade it but it didnt work for me the way it was supposed to. Now everytime I start my phone up by holding the "end button" and "home button" it goes straight to the "rainbow screen". If I try holding down the "camera button" and the "end button" it does the same thing. If I try a regular restart by just pressing the "end button" all it does is loop.
[G1 Android Development] buckbullstallion:
dont be alarmed

.... does your phone boot at all ... meaning just do a full reset. if it doesnt boot at all than when you have your usb plugged in do you get the message fastboot when you press the back button on the pad the one between the trackball and the end button. if you get fastboot than you can boot into linux and follow the instructions and you should have a working phone. but please try

1. just rebooting phone. explain what happens. (if it just goes to rainbowscreen there should be indicators lik serial (0) or usb .

2. hold the home button down when you reboot. keep holding it. what happens.

3. hold the camera button down and when you get to rainbow screen see what happens when you press the back button. remember do this while the usb cable is plugged in.

please give as much detail as you can .. about the littlest changes and what appears. thank you .
[G1 Android Development] buckbullstallion:
audio has always been ****ed up for me

I have always had issue with audio and missing calls. but i cant blame this build or that one. as i have always whether build is JF or Modded original .. or even the original 1.5 the audio really blows on the android. please if anyone else can confirm that the audio on the android is not like a nokia. post a quote with i agree. thank you .
[G1 Android Development] buckbullstallion:
Its ****en awesome

the cupcake is great the browser seams about 20 percent faster IMO. Im really stoked that they keep up with the updates and how Google is so commited to thier vision. Only If TMobile would get thier heads out of thier asses and just allow the users to decide how to use thier phones. but the cupcake is definately worth the upgrade.

how do i get an animation when auto rotatiing like in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pz9rjKXZnW8
[G1 Android Development] wicked1lbc:
what does it mean "go to a terminal"
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Open Spare Parts app and toggle "Fancy rotation animation". If you don't have Spare Parts app in your build, download JF1.50 and extract it from there. If none of what I said makes sense, just forget it.
[G1 Android Development] wicked1lbc:
Can some1 walk me through step 6 on the installation? reading it , it sounds pretty basic. but maybe im just too stupid to understand. thanks!
[G1 Android Development] liss21:
When I try to fastboot it i get the screen but at the bottom there isn't a android skateboarding, but i still tried to hit the back button but nothing happened.

Help Please

cupcake on rooted G1

this is a easy way to get CUPCAKE on a ALREADY rooted G1 just follow this link goodluck http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vC-T1Yf4m4s
[G1 Android Development] speoples20:
Anyway to extract just the on screen keyboard? So we can have an on screen keyboard till cupcake actually comes out. I think I'm like most people here and my G1 is my main phone and need it fully functional.
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Not possible. The underlying framework of Android has to be modified to make cupcake OSK possible. It's not just an app that runs in the background.
[G1 Android Development] samysam05:
i installled this on my dev phone and wanted to go back to way it was before. Im a noob so im a lil confused. i added the modified rc30 but it's asking me for the gmail account and all that. before i didnt have to do that..... how do i get the dev phone back??
[G1 Android Development] speoples20:
Hmm I figured that but thought it was worth a shot. I guess I'll wait a few weeks for cupcake to officially launch.
[G1 Android Development] Koush:
You need a dev phone image. I think that's been uploaded somewhere on this forum too.
[G1 Android Development] samysam05:
so until then there's nothing i can do.... feel pretty stupid. i had the dev phone and now im stuck with tmobile registration. is there any other way to unlock it?
[G1 Android Development] maxdamage2122:
i think your confused. even with the dev phone build you still have to enter in your gmail info. and btw the dev build is posted somewhere just cant remember but JF's RC30 will be fine too.
[G1 Android Development] samysam05:
when i first received the dev phone i can use it without a sim... now i have to go through the tmobile setup screen
[G1 Android Development] JesusFreke:
Dev phone image is here: http://www.gotontheinter.net/node/13
[G1 Android Development] samysam05:
hey thanks alot man.

Phone Working on Cupcake?

Thanks for all of this work guys. Did anybody get your phone to work while running cupcake? Mine wouldn't connect to a network at all so I uploaded the radio image from JF RC30 v1.2 to the phone. Once I did that phone wouldn't boot. So I just went back to RC 30 1.2. Did anybody have success with phone? NOTE: To go back to RC30 just copy it's update.zip to your sdcard. You'll have to do an "alt-w" before you can do a "alt-s"
[G1 Android Development] Datruesurfer:
Flashed fine, booted fine, but the missing wifi, bluetooth, and GSM functionality forced me to go back to RC30. We need a build that is actually targeted towards the dream and not for the emulator.
[G1 Android Development] Koush:
That is the dream targeted build. The current source is very broken due to the new features.
[G1 Android Development] fluke.l:
I've tried your image.

The wireless module is not stable, nearly not usable.

And wifi module is malfunctioned.

WARNING: Update on "Cupcake"

WARNING: It might be a coincidence but when I loaded cupcake it FRIED my SD card. The card acts really strange. I have gone into the card using LDE in linux and tried to wipe the card with ones and zeros, but it is fried. Anybody else have this trouble. Thanks!

FIX FOUND: This is a known G1 issue on multiple firmwares. http://rivviepop.wordpress.com/2008/11/11/fix-your-g1-android-messed-up-sd-card/
[G1 Android Development] neoobs:
One of my 4GB cards was fried when I first got the phone. I had it loaded with about 4GB of music... then I started having issues with the SD card and found it to be some corrupted sectors. I didn't blame it on the G1 but now I have suspicions.
[G1 Android Development] Koush:
My 8GB card started acting up (not always being recognized/found) around the time I started using Debian. It may not be cupcake, but just the G1 in general...
[G1 Android Development] :
fluke, if you took the time to read all that koush said, he advised us all that this is very much a development build and that after flashing to his G1 he went back to JF rc30 1.2. you cannot expect a fresh development build to be perfect, HENCE THE NAME DEVELOPMENT BUILD.
[G1 Android Development] winglord:
can you post the modifs you did to libaudio?

I had it to compile but no audio...

thx
[G1 Android Development] damien667:
The current "repo sync" builds for the dream without any modification to anything... all you have to do is follow the instructions at:

http://source.android.com/documentation/building-for-dream
[G1 Android Development] Koush:
They may have fixed the build breaks. I'll check.
[G1 Android Development] sergebl:
I tried it... and btw check the date dec 9 ...

Did not work for me.
[G1 Android Development] Razor1973:
These questions are for those of you who've already installed Cupcake.

Google's Android roadmap indicates Cupcake will include the following new features and I was wondering if any of you had already played with these and can confirm they are there.

a) Settings >> "New menu option to list running processes in Settings->ManageApplications"

(Do you get processor and memory usage? Can you also kill processes?)

b) Camera/Gallery >> "Video recorder mode", "Video thumbnails", "Local file playback"

(Excellent news! Another low blow for the iPhone community.)

c) Framework >> "Tactile feedback to the LockPatternView. Tactile feedback can be enabled/disabled by going to Settings > Security & location and then checking/unchecking "Use tactile feedback". Note that this can be used independently of the visual feedback of the lines ("Use visible pattern"). Thus it gives users a middle ground between showing the lines on the screen and having no feedback at all."

(Huh? Tactile feedback? What type of feedback exactly? Don't you need special hardware/screen for that?)

d) Framework >> "Support third party updates of system applications. New menu options in Settings->ManageApplications to list updated system applications."

(What exactly does this mean?)
[G1 Android Development] Tob3z:
Tactile Feedback is a small vibration when you select something. Like the on screen keyboard in Steel has.
[G1 Android Development] Razor1973:
Ah, the whole phone vibrates. I thought the vibration was exactly where you were pressing, like haptics.
[G1 Android Development] razor1394:
I tried the build located at the link and I found it very buggy. A lot of applications were crashing, bluetooth didn't work and I couldn't log into Google. However I found the on screen keyboard very interesting and also a reference to logging into Youtube. The kernel was also updated to 2.6.27.

I realized that the build was too old even though it was dated 20081221 but in the open source world code get old quickly.

I have done most preparations to build images for the G1 but I got stuck at the extract script for extraction of the proprietary binaries.

The adb binary on the laptop is under /usr/bin/ and the phone is in usb debugging mode.

I'm now running JesusFreak 1.3 adp1 and it seems to work ok except I don't have a2dp and onscreen keyboard.
[G1 Android Development] brandenk:
Is there anyway of putting cupcake into a update.zip we could use from the recovery screen?
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
http://koushikdutta.blurryfox.com/G1/cupcake.zip

It's not suitable for day-to-day use though.

Edit: Argh nevermind, those are fastboot images. =X

You might be able to convert cupcake.zip to an update.zip installer by adding an update-script file with the following:

format BOOT:
write_raw_image PACKAGE:boot.img BOOT:
format SYSTEM:
write_raw_image PACKAGE:system.img SYSTEM:
format DATA:
write_raw_image PACKAGE:userdata.img DATA:

Place it in this directory hierarchy:

update.zip/META-INF/com/google/android/update-script

Finally, resign the entire zip with the SignApk tool. Copy it over and start the recovery console. Then cross your fingers. Note that I have NOT TRIED THIS, so you're going in blind here. I suggest a Nandroid backup first =)
[G1 Android Development] blahzay_blah:
has any1 tried this yet? seem like it would work but i dont want to be a test dummy
[G1 Android Development] JesusFreke:
It won't work. write_raw_image doesn't handle yaffs2 images correctly. It will write them, but not correctly.
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
:( Drat.

@Blahzay: The fastboot method is still relatively simple, if you want to test cupcake out.
[G1 Android Development] blahzay_blah:
i do want to test cupcake out but i have no clue on what the instructions are saying i am a super noob in linux and i dont want to get irritated at my device

help

on my ubuntu when i try and login as root via ´´su¨ it wont let me type my password help!
[G1 Android Development] :
so a thought that i had.... although we should have an official release with the updates outlined in cupcake by the end of this month.... the On Screen Keyboard is necessary and should be finely tuned by june for this phone to be functional...

http://androidcommunity.com/samsung-android-smartphone-coming-q2-2009-to-sprint-t-mobile-20081219/

because this phone does not have a hardware keyboard....
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Keyboard and other cupcake features already work, so i'm not too concerned. Samsung's probably got other stuff to worry about, both below the framework level and above (value-added apps and so forth).

You could never rule out the possibility of a product launch being pushed back, so I would not use that as a clear indicator that a codebase is complete. Case in point, Palm OS 6 phones have been "just around the corner" what seemed like half a dozen times since 2000. (Which is both timely and ironic considering the recent hype about Nova).
[G1 Android Development] :
im just hoping that the osk from cupcake works better than some of the ones on the market currently. will be nice to not have to use the keyboard all the time..
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
The reason why the iphone keyboard works as well as it does, is because it has predictive text. Does the cupcake osk have that? If not it probably will be only as good or bad as the current osk on the marketplace.

Compsms probably has the best osk currently and it still is quite inaccurate.
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
It does. And if it didn't, someone would write a replacement IME.
[G1 Android Development] Datruesurfer:
On Ubuntu, you need to use 'sudo su' to get superuser.
[G1 Android Development] andyandrwew:
i know but when i do i cant type the password it wont enter the digits
[G1 Android Development] DesignDawg:
It doesn't show them, but if you press enter, it has taken them.

how to get terminal

How do I get terminal on my computer please help also can you still have root with this update
[G1 Android Development] Razor1973:
From what little I know about Linux and Ubuntu, in Ubuntu you simply don't "su" and there is no root password. All commands that need root should be prefixed with "sudo". Either that or you do a "sudo -i" first and then omit the prefix from that point forward, but this approach is not recommended. But maybe I'm wrong.
[G1 Android Development] rsfaze:
you are correct. I run linux and windows once in a blue moon but in most cases the VM works just fine for Windows.
[G1 Android Development] :
how do you get terminal on your computer? well, what os are you using? more than likely windows, so you go start > run > cmd which gives you a command prompt "terminal"
[G1 Android Development] Razor1973:
Alt+R, type "cmd", hit Enter
[G1 Android Development] jgu71424:
type in terminal

What DO YOU PUT IN CMD?
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Whatever it is you wanted to do in the terminal? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] Mi|enko:
http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=access+android+from+dos+window
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Thanks but 1) I work in Linux, not Windows. 2) I wasn't asking for help. Read my comment again.
[G1 Android Development] adewey234:
The reason this version of cupcake sucks when you flash it onto your phone is because HTC is using proprietary versions of software that cant be shipped outide of the actual device (Dream, G1, Dev Phone). Because cupcake is so new (new linux kernel etc...), when you compile the code for cupcake, the proprietary drivers arent compatible with the current build of cupcake. Also, the current version of cupcake on the SDK using git, isn't the latest version; google isn't updating the public repo as often as we would like, otherwise these problems (GSM, wifi, blutooth, GPS) would have been solved with the proprietary software from HTC. So, if u want to scew around with a very unstable and buggy version of 'cupcake' on your phone, knock yourself out. Otherwise, stick to the hacked versions that are available now until a true cupcake release is implemented/hacked.
[G1 Android Development] jgu71424:
i know that

I know that but I want to get the cupcake root I already have my phone to go to fast boot now do I tpye in the cmd cd desktop and enter then cd and whenver I put the cupcake folder then follow the instruction on the first page?

Thank you
[G1 Android Development] jasonpeinko:
I installed cupcake which was amazing, but seemed to be buggy.

I have a couple questions:

1. am I not supposed to have service? I reverted back because I could not connect.

2. Am will the market place be available in the future in cupcake?
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
1. you have no service because the network APN's are not setup on this build of cupcake

2. it should be? i cant verify.
[G1 Android Development] jasonpeinko:
Is there a way to add the APN's?
[G1 Android Development] adewey234:
Does anyone have access to the proprietary files (new ones) so we can build a functional version of cupcake? The ones for gps bluetooth etc...? That would probably fix a lot of the problems that are going on
[G1 Android Development] Mi|enko:
lol It actually wasn't meant for you. It was meant for the person asking about "CMD". It was to help the guy you were replying to. I forgot that if you quote a post with a quote, it doesn't carry over that first quote. :-)

Mirror for Cupcake.zip

im trying to download the cupcake.zip file from the only link provided but the connection keeps timing out. anyone have a mirror ?
[G1 Android Development] adrian.m:
ignore last post

im a work and i guess they blocked that site the file was hosted on.. not sure why but w/e. works fine when i download from somewhere else.
[G1 Android Development] blahzay_blah:
im so lost im givin up unless someone can help me install this and explain to me what vmware and ubuntu have to do with installing the cupcake on my phone
[G1 Android Development] adrian.m:
dont get the update

its not worth getting anyways. alot of the features dont work and its very buggy, i wasn't even able to make phone calls because it wouldn't connect. I would wait until alot more of the bugs are worked out.

that cupcake update was such a waste of my time:(
[G1 Android Development] otto888:
Cupcake sucks! but it would be great for showing off :cool: I wonder if there is a way to dual boot JF1.31 and cupcake....
[G1 Android Development] M9x3mos:
radio problems

Like the previous poster I think I am having the same problems that he is having. I installed with the provided build for the G1 and the radio or cell signal won't stay connected to the network. Although rest did seem to run ok. There was a little weird reliability problem with trying to update phone settings like for the apn and would crash. but definately when the update is finalized will be awsome. But yeh just wanted to confirm the Radio problem. What was happening for me is it would connect for about a second or two. should no connection for 5 seconds and repeat the process all over again. Really weird.
[G1 Android Development] chief2842:
Opps wrong thread.
[G1 Android Development] raziel26:
will it be possible to still receive the ota cupcake update on a modded g1 if not is there a way to revert back to the non modded version? thanx:)
[G1 Android Development] khoaitaychienvn:
Yes, there is a way to revert back and believe me, rooted G1 will have cupcake update first!
[G1 Android Development] JesusFreke:
I don't believe you :p
[G1 Android Development] rynosaur:
Didn't Jesus say the last shall be first? Come on, back us up here :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] Autarkis:
For showing off, just install the Steel browser. It comes with a fairly workable virtual keyboard - approximately as workable as the iPhone one anyways. I got my friend pretty impressed yesterday. ;)

A new update from Google on cupcake branch. It seems like a lot more bugs have been ironed out and more things are stable/working.

http://groups.google.com/group/andr...b6e896a128c/d3c6c2a7c33cb30f#d3c6c2a7c33cb30f

Someone got WIFI to work. I guess the only things still broken are bluetooth, GPS, and the camera is a little funky.
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
Doesn't look like its ready for release quite yet, although someone on another thread said that a CS told them they already started rolling out the new OTA to G1's. But the problem they seem to be having with bt, gps, and camera seem to be only with the ADP1 phone. So maybe theyre done with the g1 side of the master branch?
[G1 Android Development] kylebrodeur:
does it usually take long to flash an image?
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
the bt, gps, camera, etc problems are only associated with the public cupcake branch.

I'm sure google/tmobile's internal cupcake branch already has all those drivers working properly.
[G1 Android Development] Koush:

[G1 Android Development] Koush:
Read the part of the post that talks about fastboot hanging.
[G1 Android Development] kylebrodeur:
I've tried that. For the cupcake update in linux it just sits there saying its sending.

For the custom boot img in windows it sits there "waiting for device"

Cupcake / gsm working

just resynced my source and built cupcake images and gsm works.... no wifi or bluetooth but the gsm radio works...thought i would let you all know.
[G1 Android Development] neoobs:
wifi works if you do as the google groups page says in post 91 up above
[G1 Android Development] diaztradeinc:
I need help and fasttt, i installed cupcake and im stuck on the welcome screen where its says touch android to begin, i touch and nothing happens. pleaseeee helpppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] :
hey neoobs, have you tried getting wifi working? i tried again, now i got gsm/edge but still says unable to start wifi
[G1 Android Development] neoobs:
I had wifi working and even connected to my local network.

You have to do some editing and I think they didn't do that when they compiled this version.

Because I am out on weekends doing errands I can't start working on a working cupcake build till tuesday. Sorry.
[G1 Android Development] otto888:
So,If I understand...the newest cupcake source can connect to cell towers(and i think wifi) now...can someone compile it? I'm trying to download VMWare player but it wort get past the survey....and the linux VMWare file is down.
[G1 Android Development] veda_sticks:
Im trying this now, however after downloading repo to ~/bin/ then chmoding it to make executible. repo is not a command.

if i do

./repo

while in the same dir as the file, it works, so jusct coppied the repo file into my working directory

Im running ubuntu studio 64
[G1 Android Development] :
hey no worries...im gonna keep trying. I made some of the edits suggested but it didnt work..
[G1 Android Development] veda_sticks:
How much is there to download, i have been downloading for 30 minutes and its still going.
[G1 Android Development] neoobs:
well it took me 30 minutes to download and I have a 20mbps (fiber line) connection.

It also took me 2 hours almost to compile on my laptop that has a dual core 2.2GHz CPU... it takes forever... one reason I just haven't had time to do anything.
[G1 Android Development] veda_sticks:
I had to cancel, it was still going and was 20% through a large file which was at 150mb. Thats a **** load of source.

Ill just wait till it come outs
