Is it possible to make and receive calls when connected via a craddle to the laptop? Basically routing call via the laptop's speaker and mic? I am using My Mobiler and can do everything else using the laptop except make and receive calls. Anyone tried this before? Thanks.

Hi all,

I am now cooking my first ROM, and I would like to delete some applications. I found that some applications have 3 folders in SYS (e.g. WindowsLive):

WindowsLive

WindowsLive_DPI_192

WindowsLive_Lang_0404

May I know what is the _DPI folder, and can I delete it? I just afraid these DPI (from the name I assume they are some interface..) will be used by other programs. Thanks a lot!

Regards,

pigming
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mondilv:
Resources files, as a rule (images for vga)

Don't delete them, if not empty (except *dsm alone)!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pigming:
thx! just to confirm: even if i delete windowslive folder, i should keep the DPI folder, right?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] omaga:
If you delete WINDOW LIVE folder you can delete these WindowsLive_DPI_192

WindowsLive_Lang_0404.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pigming:
that's clear enough! thanks a lot!

I'm sure many of you have already figured this out, but i just thought I would let anyone who hasn't seen it yet, know how much faster the shutter speed is on the camera!!! It is actually a very nice camera to use now!!! Woo Hoo!!! Make sure and check it out :D
[G1 Android Development] jcostantino:
it might just be me but I think overall system performance is improved. for sure the camera is more responsive though.
[G1 Android Development] widto08:
Yes, its much better now. Can actually take pics 80% of the time now without them being blurry :)
[G1 Android Development] schizox:
good to know,

im still on adp1.1 but

are you guys using the standard camera or the snapshot app ??

is the performance the same on both camera apps?
[G1 Android Development] widto08:
I'm using both. The SnapPhoto app is still laggy as before the update, maybe a hair faster if at all.
[G1 Android Development] acousticdank:
Ah, so you won't really notice a difference if using snap photo. I made that my default so I haven't tried just the camera. I'll give it a shot and see how it is.. Thanks for the heads up
[G1 Android Development] doooshty:
Thank you! I posted this at Android Community earlier and noone responded..I thought it was just my imagination lol
[G1 Android Development] kraftey:
I'm not really noticing a difference, still takes about the same time to focus and take the shot as it usually does for me. Still hard to take pictures without them being blurry as well.
[G1 Android Development] miseiler:
Excellent! Thanks for the heads-up. SnapPhoto was annoying me as well; it's nice to have the default back.
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
i was thinking mine was a little faster at first .. but i've noticed varied results .. even back on RC29-30 .. one day it goes slow .. next day fast .. etc .. so i'm still noticing varying stability with the camera .. seems to be directly related to some resources somehow
[G1 Android Development] derfolo:
I also ditched SnapPhoto. The Camera app is much, much better than it was.
[G1 Android Development] Ryanmo5:
Maybe its not on some people's g1 but i have been playing with it constantly the past day and a half and so far it is much better. Takes pic right away now. Said this same thing in rc33 thread and some guy said no it isnt on his. Poll seems to say otherwise though, along with my g1.
[G1 Android Development] Chryslerq:
I have not noticed any increase in speed.
[G1 Android Development] bornmw:
G1 camera is still a joke compared to my aged Nokia N70

I don't see any improvement, I've installed RC33 and the lag between button click and actual photo shot is like several seconds.
[G1 Android Development] acousticdank:
In good lighting the G1 takes pretty good pics, but in low lvls it is not too great and takes a bit longer.
[G1 Android Development] nolageek:
SnapPhoto is just as fast now if you turn off stability detection, as far as I can tell.
[G1 Android Development] fleshdeep:
I haven't noticed any speed boost in the shutter but I also have only tried in pretty dark situations. I will check it out in a few and report back.
[G1 Android Development] speoples20:
I haven't really noticed a big speed increase but of course I'm trying to take pics of my 20 month old son. He is never still for more than a sec. I guess he is less blurry, lol:D
[G1 Android Development] grokdesigns:
I agree, I noticed the speed increase in SnapPhoto without stability detection.
[G1 Android Development] sino8r:
Snapphoto is the faster camera if you turn off auto focus and leave stability control on. I just wish night mode actually worked...
[G1 Android Development] fleshdeep:
Yep, tried in the light and I can take pictures of my daughter without my wife telling me my 2 minutes are up.

Hello all!

I just updated now to rc33 and I knew my themes wouldn't work but I am ok with that. I do use phone as modem pretty frequently but now when I try to setup tether 1.6 it don't work. I am wondering if anyone has been able to get it working yet.

Stuck at the part where I type xf /sdcard/tether-1.6.tar

term says xf not found. Any ideas? Thanks
[G1 Android Development] The_Kills:
Oh wow, I totally forgot about tethering, Ill give it a try, I am running 1.3JF kernel running rc33 firmware (thanks to quietlurker). Ill tell you how it goes.
[G1 Android Development] speoples20:
I just set it up and it works for me. Did it to show up a cocky iphone friend and let him connect his iphone wifi to me hehe.
[G1 Android Development] esnapz:
Not sure if its a typo but you forgot the tar it should be

tar xf /sdcard/tether-1.6.tar

Hope that helps.
[G1 Android Development] poorboy168:
are you typing "xf" or "tar xf"?
[G1 Android Development] SoTacMatt:
You only need to tar once.

From then on, just make sure you 'su' and then 'tether start'.

But yes, worked fine for me. Once I turned my wifi back off. doh! :P
[G1 Android Development] widto08:
Anyone seen this?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=480067
[G1 Android Development] The_Kills:
Worked fine for me :)
[G1 Android Development] PAO1908:
Worked here without any problem.
[G1 Android Development] derfolo:
I wiped my phone before RC33, and I did have problems getting it to work. The solution was very simple--the tar command was extracting to the SD card rather than root, so I just did:

tar -xf /sdcard/tether-1.6.tar -C /

This put it in root where it belonged. Then I removed the folder on my SD card.
[G1 Android Development] vitriolix:
wow, that tetherWifi app is great. 40 seconds after seeing the link i was tethered up and getting 350kbps speeds to my laptop. this alone makes the rooting essential.
[G1 Android Development] M9x3mos:
thanks the first thing worked. I went back and tried cupcake but am going back to rc33 might take a little while to reroot and everything. will stay with engineering bootloader though.
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
I wiped my phone also for rc33 and when i type everything it works in terminal BUT my macbook isnt detecting the G1 like it used too..
[G1 Android Development] M9x3mos:
You only need to issue the above command only once to get the file setup and in the phone. After that you will need to type:

su (to get super user press enter)

tether start (this command will actually start the program)

tether stop (when you are done to stop the service and not completly kill your battery)

so again to try at first just type in command as follows:

$su

#tether start

#

if done correctly and would that is what you should see. If that does not fix try typing this into your phone and download the application for it. Haven't tried it myself but have heard it works.

Just thought I'd share what I've run across so far. After updating to rc33 the market would not work, I have since done a wipe, tried installing a complete them I converted to rc33 and it gets stuck on the second boot screen, so I decided to play with some files and see what could be causing it. I removed the framework-res.apk and replaced it with the stock one. Now I'm getting to the android logo screen, so something may have changed with framework and I am using the template to create this theme. I noticed I was still getting txt messages even though I was on the android logo screen, I've seen this before when I removed Launcher.apk and didn't replace it. So I replaced my launcher with stock and it boots up my theme, sorta.

I have a list of icons that do not take the new icons i've created.

Amazon

Camera

myFaves

Market

Pictures

Settings

Superuser

Terminal

Voice Dialer

Voice Search

Youtube

Everything else is working just fine and copied over. What kinds of problems has anyone else run into? I'm done for the night, gonna work on it some more tomorrow

**Update

including a link to a modified jf rc33 file that frees up system space by removing media files

http://www.mediafire.com/file/zy4myo...C33_light2.zip
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] SVTRacer:
I can't get past the Android screen. Is there a way to go back to RC30?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] rsfaze:
I updated to RC33 and had Buuf installed before the update. Installed the RC33 first then the radio, no issues. It even kept my Buuf wallpaper.

I just installed the light version of Buuf that the creator released a bit ago and had no issues updating that. Maybe he can shed some light
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] rsfaze:
did you make a back up with Nandroid? You can also put RC30 update on your SD card and boot into recovery console and update back from there.

Not sure how the new Radio is going to work with RC30 though
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jdwme:
any theme creators wanna chime in?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] daveid:
I am not a creator but I have some input I guess. It is very puzzling.

I edited Stericson's stock theme template, changed app icons (removed some apps) resigned each APK, modified the framework-res.apk (did not touch any xml files, and tried to only modify images I thought were changed to create Blue Star 5 - my basis for theming). I zipped it up, signed the zip. And updated my phone.

It took a while to get past the android logo (which by the way did not change color as I expected with the new framework files), but eventually booted up for me. No problem. My case may be special, because before I applied my update I removed some stock APK's and all the stock ringtones, ensuring I had room to spare on my /system partition. I removed amazon, email, and IM - the APK's and ODEX's. My update zip that I used initially to apply my theme contained :

All APK's except those listed above - resigned all that I modified.

And JUST the framework-res.apk

I have since modified some more files in the framework and created another update.zip that just included that file - it applied just fine.

However, no one else has been able to install this theme on their phone (that I know of), and I can't figure out why. Maybe it is the space that I had free?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] kron2:
I am at work right now but when I get home I am going to start from scratch. last night I was using stericson rc33 and was installing the hole drawable folders to the apk.did not think there are new images in some of the apk.that is what you get when you try to get a theme out fast and I am going to look to make sure the images are still the same name .there is some new apk. in rc33 and not just voicesearch.apk and tmoimplugin.apk and like i said at work so i don't have the names rc30 has one apk. not in rc33
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jdwme:
yeah tmoimplugin.apk is where all the emoticons for Im are stored.

I just tried editing the clock in launcher and applying it but it didn't work. Maybe it does have somehthing to do with system being too full, that could explain why only some icons are changing.

Possible solution to RC33 theme crisis!

Ok I'm not entirely sure how or why this works, but with any luck a sharper mind will! Whenever i replaced the application icons or frame images the phone hangs at boot and i'm forced to unplug and restore via nandroid. However if i copy the image file, edit it with gimp and then put it back (resigning both the apk and the zip, it updates perfectly. At present i have modified about half of my icons and got a new splash screen. I just thought i'd share this success and hope someone can work out whats different about the new icons etc.

three posts in 10 minutes is spamming. starting a new thread would have been better
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] damnitpud:
I am not sure what changed but i tried copying the PNGs i changed in framework-res from FadetoBlue and it won't go past the first screen. But i did try editting a bunch of files from RC33 and it works fine. So i think most the themes will need to be rebuilt from RC33.

Just my 2cents. hope i am wrong though.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] daveid:
From terminal emulator or ADB run "df".

Try removing some stock APKs from your update file, and see where that gets you. Of course, remove them from your phone.

Safe ones are (if you don't use them) com.amazon.mp3, email, IM. You can remove the apks and odex's if you don't use those programs. That's what I did and my theme flashed fine on my phone, but not on others (who probably have those files installed) also I removed the stock ringtones, you can just pull the whole /system/media folder and push it back after testing.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] daveid:
I just copied pngs as well, and it did work for me. I think Stericsson hit it on the head when he mentioned free space in my other thread. Definitely an avenue to explore.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jdwme:
yeah this is a free space issue, with the stock rc33 update I only have 352k avail in system, I just made a file with only app icons being changed, by rebuilding from scratch and now system has 0 available and not all my icons flashed over, infact it even removed myfaves.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] dthadamaja:
i noticed the same thing..... on some updates i could actually get my icons for mms and then others, it would just totally delete mms. I've had youtube and others delete themselves as well on various updates i tried. We might have to wait for Jf to release a new update that addresses these issues.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jdwme:
Ok, so I talke with jf and found that rc30 had over 3 mb free space. So looked into some ideas to free up space, one of which some people are already doing which is removing stock ringtones. I'm looking into seeing what apps can be removed from updates to free space in /system and installed via sd card starting with largest. So far I found myFaves can not be installed via sd card but Maps can. May be on to something to free up some space to allow themes to work. It may also work in reverse with getting VoiceSearch and Maps from the new update to install via sd card on rc 30
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] dthadamaja:
wasn't even paying attention ignore this post
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jdwme:
Ok, so 3560k freespace on stock jf1.41 rc 30. So I went into the new rc33 file and removed a bunch of media files and now I was able to get 2584k freespace in this new update. So if we flash to this then we should be able to use themes without memory issues as long as we don't put too much into the themes.

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jdwme:
maybe 100k, I looked at that as well. I just checked my sticker theme on rc 30 and it was only using about 1700kb of space so removing these ringtones should free it up to work, haven't checked other themes, but it's a start
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] kron2:
have you tried to remove the wallpaper from launcher.apk and if so did the phone still boot up if not I am going to try it
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jdwme:
I tried it before and it causes the wallpaper gallery to force close, I just got my sticker theme, minus framework, to actually flash over and work. and now I have over 2000k available so I'm gonna work on framework now.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] samysam05:
a little confused. so this is like a lighter version of JF Rc33??
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jdwme:
yep, all I did was take out some of the ringtones and notification sounds to make system have more space available. I probably took out more than I needed to cause even after my sticker theme with every thing changed I had before on rc30 I still have 1500k free
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] samysam05:
Okay going to try out a theme will post results.

Tried it and it works just fine... Great work! JF should have this version in his sticky.. a regualr and a light version! :-D I'm Happy again :-D

jdwme,

umm, sorry if this was already answered in a previous post, but...

i've flashed the new rc33 and then the radio twice (to fix the slow connection and whatnot) and now i want a theme, and your's is the most promising because i trust your themes =]

so my question is, if i flash the lite version of your rc33, do i have to re-flash the radio update?

edit: nope! didn't have to =]...thanks!
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] kopykatkiller:
You shouldn't have to re-flash the radio.

jdwme would it be ok to post your light modified jf rc33 with my theme . my theme at 9,608 kb is still to big with out your light jf rc33. will post with it thx to you for freeing up space on it .I would refer to put ringtones and notification sounds on the sd card.

Reduced update for theme makers.

hey guys, this is just an update file with every single png except for the .9's from our rc33 update reduced. your probably asking why I released this? well theme makers such as myself will at some point come across the 10.7 mb or so area of file size and this will actually cause the phone to loop. with the reduced file size, we can squeeze as much out of free room as needed. Again this maybe a lil drastic even after upgrading to rc33 lite but every ounce counts as i have needed for my own theme. the difference in file size is only a mere .23 mb. This was all done with a very cool tool. you can find a link to the tool in my post here.

Another Aid to the theme Crisis

Okay, we know that the major problems with the theme issues are that there is not enough space in the system partition for the massive themes. Another way to help out this issue besides theme compressions is to free up space in the partition.

You don't have to delete the ringtones and notifications in the system partition. A better way, that frees up even more space.

Requirements

Rc33 Phone

Have your apps on your sd card. The thread is stickied in dream android develeopment.

Procedure

Open up terminal emulator.

Type:

su

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

busybox cp /system/media /system/sd

rm -r /system/media

ln -s /system/sd/media /system/media

And there you go. Frees up a lot of space on the partition to allow for bigger and better themes. :)
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] doubleokneegro:
so by removing this media folder what is it removing? the notification sounds, etc.. that u mentioned or just some junk we dont need?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] APrinceAmongMen:
The media folder contains all the notifications and ringtones and all.

The difference is though, it tricks the os into thinking that the folder is still there, while it's really on the ext2 partition on the sd card.

I love symbolic links. :)
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] doubleokneegro:
yeah i use Photoshop CS2 now and i have always used save to web... quick keys.. CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+S will save as optimized, which you can set to png (advanced settings to PNG-24)...then i save them, and edit themes to my liking, sign, update, boom
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jdwme:
doing this only has to be done once? It wouldn't change it back once you flash another theme update?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] APrinceAmongMen:
Themes don't affect this at all unless you do a wipe before installing the update.

I could free up much more space for the partition without sacrificing any stability/features if you'd like. Just give me the word.

:)

btw... the method i posted earlier gives a little more space than just removing the ringtones/notifications.

You could practically do this to any folder that the os doesn't update frequently.
