You won't ever see a direct download posted from google for "android image, click here"

The link posted was acquired from a phone that received the update "OTA" like, using the 1.1 'check for updates' feature (i'm sure it auto checks periodically). The log was captured and download link was yanked.

The official distribution is all in the source tree for which you need to set up git and repo to sync. Basically if you're not comfortable with doing this, you can wait for someone like JF to create an image suitable for you to update with.

Could someone please tell me which bootloader-version is included in the boot.img?
[G1 Android Development] texasaggie1:
YES this is RC33 for ADP

I loaded the unsigned version of this rom. I have concluded it IS the 'rc33' version of the adp rom. Why?

1) market is no longer beta on this rom. Jesusfrekes rom has a beta market.

2) google voicedial is included. Its not on jf1.1 rom.

Hopefully jf will incorporate this soon.
[G1 Android Development] Datruesurfer:
I'm running JF1.4 RC33 and I can confirm that these features DO exist.
[G1 Android Development] texasaggie1:
YES they do but only on JF 1.4

RC33

. We are talking about JF1.4

ADP

version. The 1.1 ADP version he uses is a slightly earlier edition than the ADP HOLIDAY version that just came out. His ADP version has beta market and NO google voice search.

It is the new update he just posted it!
[G1 Android Development] torrentss:
So, does this update include the RC33 radio update?

If not, is it safe to update the original ADP1 phone with RC33 radio image?

Edit: nevermind, I compared the ADP1 update radio image with RC33, they're the same.

ive had the 1.1 holiday for a while but..

In the mid of SEPT. I did get the Holiday update which gave me the 1.6 loong before my stock device, now I do choose to keep these holiday system updates on my htc dream/g1 whatever you wanna call it... funny thing is they are meant for dev devices but more importantly they push from the same place, ADP1 software isn't third party software! I checked with warranty, it will ota... but TMOB doesn't support it..

Root access and partitioning and other roms do void ur warranty.... ADP is HTC software guys!

Helo,

I have AT&T Tilt. It started to report strange problem. It displays a message "To prevent possible data loss, replace or recharge your battery according to the owner's manul" and doesn not see the battery (or its level).

After that phone won't charge until a restart (when for a few moments it recognises battery level).

Did anyone had similar problem, or can help me.

Many thanks.

Could be a problem with the battery. Pretty sure there is a chip in it to report its level

Go to Settings folder under System.....and look at Device Info.

If you are looking for what version your Diamond is (i.e. Diam 100) then its behind your battery and can also be found in bootloader screen.
[G1 General] brummiesteven:
Hi,

I have searched in this forum for similar topics but I didn't find anything which answered my question specifically so have started a new one.

I have just ordered my G1 (or Dream :P (sounds better)) for £35 a month with Unlimited Texts, 700 mins, unlimited internet and 11 months half price by redemption.

I have a few simple questions to ask about the phone and it's functions etc.

1) Ok so I am in the UK. From what I've gathered, the UK G1 doesn't allow you to use MSN Messenger with the default IM Client. I was woundering if there was any patch or something like that to open up the MSN Messenger capeability on the IM client?

2) How do items such as contacts work? Are they stored on the phone or are they displayed on the phone and only stored on the Gmail server? I have heard that the Android software is pretty much "cloud" software and it works in sync with Gmail however, I would be worried If I went somewhere with little network coverage and couldn't view my contacts beause of lack of internet connection.

3) Is there any solution for the no flash on the camera?

4) Anything else you would reccomend for an Android Newbie? Does anyone regret switching from WM to Android?

Thanks everyone :)
[G1 General] Meltus:
hi!

1) nope, the UK (or RC8) firmware does not come with the MSN application. If you want to have this feature you must flash the US (RC33) firmware. (makes no difference, except the numbering system is confusing as hell but works normally.) Also, you can only really use it connected to wifi, because if you use the MSN app over 3G, it uses SMS for the messeges rather than data (just noticed you have unlimited texts, so this wont be an issue for you :D).

2) all your contacts are 'synced' to the phone from your gmail account, after the 'sync-ing', you will not need to be connected to the internet to view, add, or edit contacts. but when you do get a connection it *should* automatically sync up, adding the contacts to your account. You can also add contacts from a simcard.

3) As it stands, no. unless you have a torch handy :P

4) Can't say anything about WM as i've never had it. I would certainly recommend rooting your phone (don't worry about legal issues, it apparently doesn't void your warrenty and even t-mobile are linking people here to get instructions on how to do it :D). once rooted, you can load up edited firmwares, allowing you to do all sorts: adding multi-touch, auto-rotation, installing Debian on your phone, changing from UK/US to Developer firmware and installing the many different themes avaliable.

oh, rooting (and installing the Hard SPL Bootloader) also makes your phone virtually 'un-brickable', software wise. so thats another reason to do it :)

have fun :D
[Palm Treo Pro] NucleusMS:
There's this option on my treo pro, that if enabled, will lock the touchscreen while I'm in a call. That stops me from enabling the loudspeaker by pressing the button on the screen.

Is there a way to enable the loudspeaker while in a call, without using the touchscreen?

Thanks.
[Palm Treo Pro] Koksie:
Of course there is;). While in a call and while the screen is locked, use the D-pad (Palm button) to navigate to the soft key of the speaker. Then confirm with the center button. With the D-pad, you can control all the softkeys while in call.
[Palm Treo Pro] NucleusMS:
That sounds right :p I'll give it a try on the next call. Thanks :)

It's ridiculous to apply and include political disputes in software! As this program does: w0lf's Translator v1.1

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3303133

Go to page:

http://anonym.to/?http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en

as you can see Hungarian language is included!

We know there were old political disputes between Romania and Hungary. But to omit deliberately Hungarian language only because Romania has disputes with Hungary (certain people) it's ridiculous.

But the romanian author of this program did deliberately omited the Hungarian language in his program.

Simply childish.

I'm too born in Romania too and proud to be a Romanian, but to include political disputes in my software is under my dignity.

Same rasistic policy is applied by Visicom Navigator GPS Ukraine 2008 v3.2.8. Where because Ukraine has disputes with Romania has choosen to apply same rasistic attitude in this GPS software: towns with majoritary romanian population are very poor representated (no streets, building numbers, and so on...). Small towns with majoritar ukrainian population are represented with complete street and building information.

I sent all this information to Romanian authorities: parliament, newspapers and foreign ministry.

IMHO no politics or political disputes should be present in software!

You posted in the wrong section, not a contribution to Hacking & Development "unless posted under the authors thread"

Also speculation as how do you know what you say is true and not just the development not every language is included, so it could be said for other countrys not included that it's racism?

I've read people would like to have an on-screen cursor on their x1 and control it using the optical joystick. However, the optical joystick on x1 senses up down left or right, one way at a time only. It doesn't senses all directions and cannot move the cursor like computer mouse.
[XPERIA X1 General] DocMAX:
these are really bad news :(
[XPERIA X1 General] achmed20:
thats what i thought but ... im not so sure about it yet.

the optical pad currently just emulates an scrolling wheel. and those are usualy 2/4-way only.

or do u know anything we dont know?
[XPERIA X1 General] alias_neo:
Well

Well, if my idea is right, the optical "pad" is simply the bottom of an optical mouse.

The difference in this case is that instead of moving the mouse, we are moving the detection surface.

So basically, unless it's specially designed only for 2 axis, it should, technically, detect all movement directions.
[XPERIA X1 General] SquidgyB:
Exactly, it depends on whether the output of the optical sensor is converted into digital keypresses at the driver level or by hardware, and how exactly the optical sensor communicates to WM.

I have no idea where to start or how to go about finding this kind of thing out, let alone starting to program drivers/software for interception of the data.

I'm afraid it's a waiting game to see if there's anyone with the knowledge and expertise could do this, and another dice roll as to whether that person is interested enough to spend the time and effort in making a proper mouse style optical sensor a reality (or finding out after a lot of work that it's an impossibility...!)

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] brunes:
There is a BT icon at the top of my phone, all the time, 24/7 (whenever bluetooth is enabled).

If I connect A2DP or a headset, *another* icon also appears that shows the headset type.

The first icon is what I want gone. It was added when I flashed the latest NFSFan custom rom for my Vogue. The icon is not useful to me because I always have bluetooth enabled, I don't need an icon telling me as such.

It was not there in the custom ROM I flashed before this, so I know there is some way to disable it (or not add it). I just can't figure it out.

Another post on XDA said it was tied to the phone dialer skin, and indeed, if I turn off the dialer skin, the icon *goes away*, but then the dialer is busted.

I need to know what creates this icon - is it a registry key, a DLL I can replace, some combination??? I am pretty technical and am open to anything to try. No one seems to be able to answer my question in the NFSFan thread.

I've noticed the best way to change these .9.pngs is to give them a 1 pixel border. The buttons for instance, the inside is one color and the border should be a 1 pixel black or whatever color of the theme. You have to erase the corners to, if not they stretch weirdly.

I figured out the .9.pngs! The procedure is here! Updated: 02/13/09

::New:::

If you have downloaded the SDK and Eclipse, you have all the tools you need, If not you should grab them and follow Google's guide.

This process is somewhat a pain in the butt, but worth it. You need to take the .9 off of the file name that you want to change, then drag it into the draw9patch tool from the Android SDK(in the tools folder) Here is some info about draw9patch. Pay attention to the Note in the middle of the page. Once you have your 9patch file edited and saved you need to compile it, the lines will remain on this .9 image until it is compiled with eclipse. you need to open a project, or create one in eclipse, drag the .9.png into the drawable folder, then right click your project folder and choose android tools/export unsigned application package. Once this is done, you want to open the apk with WinRar and pull your .9.png files out. you will notice the lines are gone! That is all, I am sure people who have not downloaded the SDK and Eclipse yet might have problems understand this process, but I will try to help you. I am not a guru with Eclipse but i know enough to get by.

Good luck and happy stretching =)

Playing with the SDK today, i found in "SDK\tools\lib\res\default\drawable" all of the .9.pngs have the black lines intact. These could be good for learning the best way to stretch these images. Also the xmls have not been converted to binary, so it might make for some interesting hacks for themes.

Here is a screen shot of the draw9patch tool. The bottom and right sets the content area and the left and top set the stretch area.

I am not sure if i am going to disclose this info just yet (because of the competition) but i wanted to let everyone know its been figured out and we will all know very soon!

i am uploading some screen shots now with some perfect buttons! Anyone who has used my theme knows the buttons looked somewhat messy, well no longer will they be.

To tell you the truth, I loved your theme. The only reason I uninstalled it was because of the .9.pngs stretched out and looked bad.

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Geo411m:
That's cool but this theme competitions is starting to suck, no one want to share any info due to fear of losing. I'm fearing this comp.. my be counter productive.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Meltus:
are some .9's harder to edit than others? never tried editing the buttons and such but the ones i've tried editing (the notifications bar etc.) seem not to mess up, no matter what i do to them. are some of them just really temperamental? :P
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] manup456:

@Damnitpud

Good work bro.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] daveid:
For the few .9 pngs I have modified so far I just used the layer blending properties to apply an overlay with some opacity and saw no ill effects. I haven't done many yet, but if I am just changing colors, I don't see why this shouldn't work for all fo them. Since it preserves the original shapes and layouts, just adds a tint to the image.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] damnitpud:
I am going to type up the steps to getting the .9s working properly. I am going to end up sharing the info, i'm not one to usually hoard info. There is still some learning to do with the draw9patch tool, but at least we can get rid of those damn lines after messing with it in in the draw9 tool.

I will add it to the first post of this thread.

Yes some are very hard and only distort at larger sizes. The buttons are very difficult, even opening them up and saving the file will break it. you don't even have to change anything. Try changing the btn_default_normal.9.png and use the stock btn_default_pressed.9.png. you will see a big difference when you press that button.

I agree, that is why i am going to release the info, its pretty simple but very tedious. Not as bad as compressing the images like i figured out before. But that's only because there is not as many.

This is the first time...well second time i have found something the community was looking for answers to, i am normally one of the herd waiting for the relases...not doing the release myself. i would love to win the competition, but i doubt perfect buttons will give me that much of an edge. =)

And thank you!
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Geo411m:
I agree. I want to get into the comp but it's not for the money. I'm doing it because it's fun to see what people can come up with and I enjoy a challenge. Besides isn't the comp about who's theme is most aesthetically pleasing, since none of us are releasing the themes to the public until after the comp no one will see those things anyway unless you post up 100 screens shots that is.
