I'd wait for LucidREM to come up with his modified version. Than those apps will remain intact for sure.
[G1 Android Development] Jonsson:
Just went from JFv1.43 Holiday to JFv1.43 RC9 myself, and i got the popup about Latitude and the "Join Latitude" menubutton in the Maps program.

I only did a wipe -> upgrade -> wipe.

but no Voice search, well i don't use either of them so it really doesn't matter to me.

I have the older radio(1.22.12.29).

/Jonsson
[G1 Android Development] atconc:
I Just installed RC9 and have no voice search or latitude either, also disappointed to see we still don't have transit/walking directions in maps :(

I went from JF RC8 to RC9 via the auto updater = no latitude or voice search, then tried manual download and reflash to see if that helped but no joy. Has anyone found wiping helps?

Or alternatively is this something google needs to "switch on" for the UK, like paid apps?
[G1 Android Development] TonyHoyle:
If you add lattitude to iGoogle it appears to work but when you next go to the page it says that the service is not available in your country... so it looks like latitude hasn't been enabled yet. No idea how some have managed it - perhaps their google profile is different somehow?
[G1 Android Development] mitch1974:
If you kept reading you would have noticed that it says you can download Maps with Latitude for your mobile and gives you a link for it.
[G1 Android Development] atconc:
Tried a Wipe but that made no difference either
[G1 Android Development] mitch1974:
Must be, because it looks like all the parts of Latitude are in the Maps apk.
[G1 Android Development] jl1030:
my G1 was bought in the US, im now flashed onto the jf RC33 version, is it possible to flash the RC9 Uk version on my phone? coz i find some US features quite annoying, eg, Myfaves, and the 'US phone number format'.

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] maik005:
I started Google Maps about 6 times with an reboot after each time and there it was. I got a Window for Latitude.

So maybe you have to start it a couple of times before you get Latitude.
[G1 Android Development] bazzlad:
I did it. Follow the instructions people gave me:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=474824
[G1 Android Development] TonyHoyle:
It gives you the URL www.google.com/latitude which is where you started.. in other words no extra information at all.

If it was supposed to work it would work for everyone, not just a few random people. The software is clearly there (dumping the maps app shows lots of references to friends, etc.) but is disabled. It's possible a setting may override that, but the xml files in the app are encoded and here's no obvious way of making sense of them, let alone modifying them.
[G1 Android Development] TonyHoyle:
I tried killing maps (using adb) and restarting it about 20 times so that didn't work. Rebooting is a lot slower, but worth a try... on my 3rd time so far.

You got a window? Some kind of popup then? I was expecting that when you hit menu->more on maps there would be an extra option.
[G1 Android Development] friedgoldmole:
I restarted my phone about 10 times reloading maps each time on the off chance that Latittude might work (not that I can see any rational behind why that would work) but nothing happened.

To be honest I'm not sure why I am even bothered about it as I doubt I will actually use it, same thing with the voice search, for some reason I want it, but thinking about it I am unlikely to ever use it in public :)
[G1 Android Development] maik005:
I got the standart window that says something like "New Feature Latitude" (I don´t know what it excatly said) after I have opened GoogleMaps.
[G1 Android Development] TonyHoyle:
I used to use an app like it on the N95 a couple of years ago.. it's nice that all your friends can see where you are (and anyone else who's bothered) - used to have an embedded map on my facbook page with my location on it.

The problem with those apps in the past has been getting a critical usage mass - the one I used had maybe 100 users in the UK... the chances of meeting someone else running it was vanishingly small. The google version shouldn't have this problem.

So it is something I'd probably use.. if it worked.

It seems by restarting maps there's a small random chance you'll get it. I'll probably leave it now until someone works out how to increase the odds, as there doesn't seem to be a consistent way to trigger it.
[G1 Android Development] JesusFreke:
Latitude is definitely there. I was wrong about voice search though. I had just briefly looked through the installed applications and saw "voice dialer", and my brain, being late as it was, was like "yep! there's an app with voice in the name. check!"
[G1 Android Development] paulspiteri:
I've just updated from RC33 to RC9 (jf versions)

After verifying that the radio image from RC33 and RC9 are identical binary files I've finally got around to putting that on too. All seems great though I am lacking latitude (no loss there then...)

Just switched from JF RC33 to JF RC9 UK.

As usual: no probs. JF, you are the best!

After the update the system recognized by itself my german t-mobile sim card and switched to german language (of course you can change it manually, too).

latitude IS included, voice search not (who needs it?)

Has support for paid apps been enabled for UK users yet, I can't see any paid apps yet
[G1 Android Development] jl1030:
thanks, one more question before i flashes it, do i need to do a wipe on the phone, or i can keep my stuff on it, flashing from jf RC33 to jf RC9?

million thanks
[G1 Android Development] kmetz:
A Question to JesusFreke:

Is the browser application in the 1.43 releases the newest version? Or an older that had been patched for multitouch?

In the first case, it would be awesome if a non-multitouch JF would be available, including the newest browser. Or a guide on how to replace it and sign the resulting update.zip.

After all, i dont use multitouch. It is a nice proof of concept, but not very usable.

... and thanks for putting up the RC9 1.43! My device speaks the same language my brain does again (german).
[G1 Android Development] kmetz:
A note on the market in the RC9 1.43 release: It does allow to purchase applications, you just have to insert a SIM card from the United States.

It does not matter where you are, on what IP, to which country your google account belongs, what firmware branch you use (us/eu/adp/holiday), the SIM cards origin is the only check.

Maybe someone in the US gets ahold of a bunch of old, used up prepaid cards and sells them to the Europeans (and UKsters)..
[G1 Android Development] Shane2:
That's pretty dumb to be honest, I really cannot see why Google haven't enabled it for Non-US users yet
[G1 Android Development] TommyPickles:
Okay so whats the benefit of having RC9 versus ADP1.1H for an Aussie ADP1 owner?

From what I've read here it would seem that RC9 has no Latitude support and no Voice search.

Perhaps a small positives is the non-US phone number prefixes, but it would seem to me the ADP1.1H is the better option for those who live outside areas where Market apps are being sold.

uk user update

Hi guys, last night I updated my jf33 to rc9, I did a straight download from one of the links here put the update on the root of my sdcard. The update went flawlessly. Importantly though, I have latitute and voice search available! I even got the email from google when I started to use latitude.

Also, I don't know if its my imagination, but the phone seemed a bit snappier, but this could be because I haven't rebooted in a while..

I just ran the update on top of my rc33 build, no wiping. I guess I just got lucky!
[G1 Android Development] t4c:
Really weird.

Got UK8 downgraded to UK7, rooted updated to JF's RC8 yesterday to RC9 there is no latitude, like many others in here post the same.

What are we making wrong if Jesus tells us: It's definetly there?
[G1 Android Development] austinjreid:

Googlemaps doesnt work anymore

I have upgraded to RC9 and now Googlemaps does not work anymore.

When i try to start the app it keeps force closing.

What could this be?
[G1 Android Development] chrisboyle:
I was on JF RC8 for a while, went to JF RC33 when it came out, Latitude started working, went to JF RC9, and after a day or so Latitude has now disappeared from Maps. The really strange thing is if I look at Latitude on iGoogle it's still tracking me! Wondering about removing /data/data/com.google.android.apps.maps and rebooting. Hmm, well, that stopped tracking... no Latitude UI yet, even after a further reboot. Oh well.
[G1 Android Development] vivek_golecha:
Well First of all thanks to JF for such a wonderful 1.43 rc 9 update.........for those who have doubts i would like to make it clear that JF is right on saying that it includes latitude....but ya no voice search though.......it has a voice application named voice dialer.....

when i installed it even i didn't see latitude on opening maps.....after 9 hrs i just wanted to check it again coz JF was sure and as soon as i opened google maps i had a pop up of latitude.......so i am on JF 1.43 rc 9 and havin the feature of latitude......

i even saw people posting that it might have been locked but it works perfectly in INDIA.....if it work hre i guess it should even work out there......
[G1 Android Development] friedgoldmole:
I may be wrong here, but it seems that everyone that has had Latitude pop up with the RC9 firmware, isn't using a T-Mobile UK Sim. So maybe the network is a flag that determines whether or not we get the Latitude app.
[G1 Android Development] [RiS]:
Same happened to me with 1.43 holiday. The first times I tried it didn't show up, but after half an hour or so the next time I tried it the dialog appeared. I didn't remember doing anything special during this half an hour (maybe I rebooted once?). So maybe you will need to have a bit of patience :)
[G1 Android Development] ThrashWolf:
I can dispel that I'm afraid. Live up in bonny Scotland, and I just got the latitude pop up on maps.

Can anyone help me here, I used it alot on RC8 And old ADP1
[G1 Android Development] dipeshb:
Where is messenger

I have just noticed this myself. I did a stright update from JF RC33 to JF RC9. I was one of the lucky ones, I have the Voice dialer AND Latitude. I also have a UK T-Mob SIM.

But I have just noticed the old RC33 IM (With MSN Live) is not there, just the google talk one, which is only allowing google talk chats..

On RC33, I was unable to get the IM MSN LIve to work with the 3G connection (T-Mob restriction I guess) but it would work with a WiFi connection.

Now I cant get either to work!! Can anybody post the RC33 IM.apk please? Or what ever it was called in JF RC33... Thanks

If your having problems

If anyone is still having problems unlocking their G1 please check out this site I put together with other idea's and info about unlocking. http://www.quantumcon.com/Home/g1-unlocking
[G1 Android Development] l_____l:
If you have been a long time TMO customer in the US, call 611 and they will give you the the unlock code via email at NO charge. I had my G1 less than 5 days and they provided me the unlock code. However, keep in mind the G1 will NOT work 3G in AT&T's 3G network! The G1 uses 1700Mhz for part of their 3G network as opposed to the 2100Mhz band that other GSM (including AT&T) carriers use. A G1 on AT&T will work only 2G (EDGE) at best.....for now.

How about A2DP stereo and file transfer via Bluetooth? That's what I'm wanting...now that I'm rooted with wifi and bluetooth tether ability! :)

JF firmware and My Tracks

My Tracks works great, but it refuses to upload the tracks to Google. Browsed the web, and found some posts (can't find it now) from people with the same problem. According to those posts, Google claims it's known to be related to JF firmware, but will be fixed in coming versions of My Tracks. Any ideas what's causing this?

/Mats
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
I had the same problem when using JFv1.43 Holiday, but when I've switched to JFv1.43 RC9, I could upload maps with no problem. So I think this is not JF's problem after all. Maybe Google is just looking who to blame? :)
[G1 Android Development] mmace:
Have searched on here, other forums and emailed the developer through the market but still cannot find the answer.

I have the JF RC8 installed, if I update to the RC9 will I have to reinstall everything?

If this is so then I will have to go back to the official firmware!

cheers
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
No, if you upgrade from RC8 to RC9 you will not loose anything. You would only loose stuff if you went from RC8 to ADP1.1 or RC33.
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
I'm sure that's a fact. I have latest JF ADP 1.1 FW. Hopefully a new version of either My Tracks or JF ADP FW is not too far away, 'cause My Tracks is a great app.

/MAts
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
What you can do as a workaround is export your maps to SD, then upload them using Google Earth.

It's a pain, I know, but it's also the only solution if you can't upload tracks directly.
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
I exported a track as kml from My Tracks and tried to import it into My Maps, but it just refuses to accept the kml. The same kml opens fine from Google Earth. I'll see if I can find the Export function in Google Earth. My v4 GE didn't seem to have such a function - Just import.

<edit>Finally! After exporting as KMZ from Google Earth, I could import the track into My Maps on Google Maps.</edit>

I'm currently using ADP 1.1h but have been frustrated by the inability to use signed apps on the market. Will migrating to UK RC9 allow me signed apps access even though my phone is rooted and unlocked? Can I go straight from ADP 1.1h to RC9 or do I have to downgrade first? Also wanted to confirm that the RC9 does not have the MyFaves SMS bug (feature) that still exists in RC33.

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
You can go from ADP 1.1h to RC9 with no downgrade, but wipe is suggested.

There is no MyFaves in RC9 as it is US-only feature.

And there is also no sign of paid apps in the market yet. Or did you mean something else by "signed apps"?

I would read this thread:

And also go to the first message in this thread that you are reading. Just read everything and make notes about important steps. Then, download everything you will need into a folder on your computer, and follow the instructions exactly.

It's really not difficult, but what I found when doing my phone was that there were so many different sets of instructions that I saved all the pages I found most useful, and made a list for myself of which steps to follow. (Some of the easiest ones were outdated, so I had to make a note to download a newer version, others were not as clear as the next step on another page, etc.).

My understanding is that there are paid apps (available in ADP 1.1h w/US Sim) and signed/protected apps (free and paid) that are not available on ADP 1.1h. I would like to know whether RC9 will allow me to get the signed/protected apps even though my phone is unlocked. I hope that wasn't too confusing.
[G1 Android Development] uherrera:
is there a particular reason why the engineering fastboot loader isn't included as part of the firmware? I know most people don't use it but it seems odd for at least the ADP1.1 version not to include it. Am I missing something?
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
ADP1.1

found this posted on the web:

"Google announced on Monday that update 1.1 is now available for the unlocked Android developer phone (ADP1). The update contains several bug fixes for issues involving the alarm clock, device sleep, POP3 email and email notification. The update also adds new features to the ADP1 including business reviews in maps, the ability to save MMS attachments and support for voice search. Developers will also be somewhat pleased to know that Google has toned down its stance on access to the Android Market while still ensuring developer applications are protected. Rather than blocking access to the entire contents of the paid Android Market, Google will only block those applications, free or paid, that are distributed with copy protection. Google argues that the ADP1, unlike the consumer G1, has unrestricted access to the device’s contents, making it easy for ADP1 owners to potentially copy and distribute downloaded applications, including those with copy protection. Since Google is not able to enforce copy protection on the ADP1, all applications distributed with copy protection will not be accessible to the ADP1. Consider this decision a partial win for Android developers everywhere."

might be some bit of good news for you who chose ADP version of android
[G1 Android Development] smacknca:
Email's Not checking

I tried searching first but no luck. Ever since the 1.1h firmware for the ADP1 I've noticed the phone really doesnt check email anymore on its own. If you wake the device up it checks and then the notifications pop up, but beyond that its very rare for the phone to tell me it has email. Gmail notifications work maybe half the time, but normal emails basically never auto check.

I've reflashed last night and even cleared the device to default to ensure its not a weird upgrade issue. Unfortunately the same problem persists, no automatic email checking. Anyone else seeing this? Pretty much explains why my battery life has gone up 150%, the phone isnt doing much in idle. :)
[G1 Android Development] Dharkaron:
Is the auto sync off by default in the 1.1h version?
[G1 Android Development] smurphete:
I'm currently on ADP running JF's latest ADP1.1h firmware and radio. Would there be any problems with just downloading the UK version, renaming and then updating? I will still have root access correct?

I have heard from a few people that the picasa upload is broken with this firmware. And also is anyone else having trouble with calendar, calendar context menu-> more-> my calendar -> add calendar?

Generally speaking, it is safe to assume after a wipe, it will be possible to install any version of firmware?
