...i see your point thanks a lot...as soon as i am done backing the hard drive up in my msi wind i will give this a shot...thanks again
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
so even tho everything seems to work just fine .. i tested moving the /system/sd/data BACK to /data/data .. there are a few anomalies that i found .. the Market doesn't seem to register the apps now .. even tho they are there and run just fine .. some information from the apps doesn't seem to transfer back into the phone properly .. yet none of my data is lost .. for instance .. super user doesn't recognize terminal any longer and has to be reset .. terminal doesn't save that i toggled the background color .. just minor things .. but perhaps this minor inconsistencies could direct people on where to look for solving bigger problems .. the coding in this G1 goes deep and seems to have some sort of spiderweb of connections .. even tho you use "ln -s" to direct to the EXT2 partition something is still referencing differently than if it saved to the phone

someone had suggested moving things one by one .. might be a good alternative (tho very time consuming) if you don't want to move the whole /data/data over .. also (little light bulb on my head) all newly installed apps still default to the phone and can be moved later .. ie.

cp -a /data/data/com.android.browser /system/sd/data

ln -s /system/sd/data/com.android.browser /data/data/com.android.browser

What sdcard do you have?
[G1 Android Development] arqueware:
As info:

One thing i noticed was when the phone suspends (sleeps) data not on the phone's filesystems becomes temporarily unavailable. I dmesg'd via terminal emulator and saw some interesting log messages. For instance, Power Manager started crashing once i'd migrated /data/data to /system/sd/data

If you perform "du -h" on /data/data/, you'll get a list of the largest directories -- manually move just those (Market, Steel, Browser, e.g.)

is it possible to change the weather icon to animated ones? so far i haven't seen any animations
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] slawcop`:
they should animate when the whether (sky) changes. Click on the right side then the left side of WEATHER at the top of the screen and check the animation out.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] :
They do not continuously animate. They are a single play icon set.

Does anyone know where these animations are stored?

I did a search, and must not be using the right terms.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mchapman007:
The Weather Icons are Manila files found in the \\windows directory of your device.

Maybe part of the beta testing is losing your phone:)
[G1 Apps and Games] Queue29:
An option to brick your own phone? What good would that do?
[G1 Apps and Games] Meltus:
nice app idea but pretty hard to beta test without, well, losing and then breaking your phone =/

to stop other people using it and, maybe, increasing the chance they would return it. possibly. i dunno tbh.

surely just locking it would be easier.
[G1 Apps and Games] Sistum Id:
I haven't had much time to try this out. But so far while trying to sign up, I get fail to locate device via GPS, maybe go outside and try again. My first response was what a fail of an app, if I cant even regeister; how the hell I'm I gonna find it if I lose it?

Ill put more effort into it later.

I signed up for beta testing back in early November but I was hoping others would have better info on it.
[G1 Apps and Games] Smokuevo:

I'm looking for a program that will automatically connect to my in-car handsfree. Is there a program that will every xx minutes/hour turn on bluetooth and search and if a device that has already been set up (in this case, Sony XPlod) is found, it will connect, and if not, it will turn off bluetooth?

I could always use a bluetooth scheduler, but the "bluetooth ping/sonar" program will be more convenient.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Mark Crouch:
Not sure if this is quite what you meant, but there is an application called BluePower that will switch on Bluetooth when it detects an AC power source - i.e. when you've plugged your phone into your car charger, desk charger, etc.

Check it out at http://www.kixass.net/bluepower/.

Hey - Sorry for crossposting, but I'm not really getting any feedback or attention on the other forum, so I'm wondering if this is a good place instead.

I am trying to make a HardSPL for my LIBRA - As far as I can tell there's none available, so I've decided to put down my step-by-step method to get there.

I would love programmers' feedback, comments, etc. - I feel that my steps could be ported to other devices to provide a stepping stone for other members of the community to help out with development/testing resources for new devices.

[G1 General] topdnbass:
I have finally discovered the best method to download youtube videos in the highest quality in playable format on our G1's. :D

I will update this as frequently as I can to make sure it stays current/works properly.

Alright, so steps 1 and 2 only need to be done one time.

1st: Go to the market and download MyBookmarks.

2nd: Open it, click import your bookmarks (type in 0420420420 when asked for your phone #)

Simply import the bookmark! (one by one or all at once)

3rd: Just go to the youtube page of choice on your stock browser, and once on it go to your bookmarks. Find and click the new bookmark (usually at the very bottom) called "YouTube Downloader".

Thats it. It'll instantly start downloading.

If you would like to rename the file, get a file manager such as ASTRO from the market. For Astro open it up, find the file in /sdcard/downloads and long press it. Then choose edit and rename..

Don't forget to 5* Rerwares great apps! Show them some support :)

Also Steel functionality has been added.

1. Go to www.xblight.com/tube.html on your steel browser.

2. Since copy and paste doesnt work too well on steel, do this. Hold down shift (arrow facing up, bottom left of keyboard) and start moving the trackball around until the code it all highlighted. Then hold down the track ball and copy all.

3. Now simply add a new bookmark and paste that in the bottom portion.

4. Now just do it the same way as before. Go to a youtube video page and click on the bookmark.

The good thing about the steel method is that it lets you rename the file on the fly

If you are on the youtube application, watching a video, and suddenly decide you want to download it, do the following. Hit menu -> share. Long press the link and copy all. Then just paste it in the URL hit enter, and click on your bookmark =)

I've also added several things which you can see below in the changelog.

Don't try to do it any other way, the steel code does NOT work in the stock browser and vice versa.

E-mail me at TopDNBass@gmail.com with any suggestions or problems.

Changelog:

1.0 - Works and downloads the very highest available quality.

1.1 - Quick fix. Found out that our g1's don't like to play the HD videos so now it gets the highest quality that isn't HD.

1.2 - Now it will check to see if you are actually on a youtube video page. If not itll redirect you to the youtube homepage. (Code altered to work on steel)

1.3 [1-3-09] - It now gives you a message right before you redirect so you know whats going on =P. Also the name was changed to YouTube Downloader.

Enjoy!
[G1 General] Dayzee:
Where does it store the stuff you Download? Just wondrin...

EDIT - Never mind - I had a go and it goes in the downloads folder on the sdcard an d it works WONDERFULLY!! Thanks for this :)

Dais xx
[G1 General] Ryanmo5:
I have no clue how you got that to work but great job!
[G1 General] knoxbrder:
Can't you just cut/paste the bookmark here instead of us needing to get it from that saved bookmark via the import bookmark program?

My guess is it must just be a URL to a site that uses the previous URL you were at (I think it's called the Referrer URL)?
[G1 General] topdnbass:
I would but it doesnt work.

If you copy and paste the code in a bookmark on android it'll instantly add http:// to the beginning.

The code is in javascript and adding http:// will render it useless.

This is the only way around it.

Plus its quicker for everyone :)
[G1 General] knoxbrder:
so you are just changing the url on the fly?

can it be done with a simple http referrer check?

if you are one of the people who setup one of those sites I think you could do it that way and then it would work from any browser/phone/pc without javascript

1. goto youtube.com/foo?goo=hoo&ioo=joo

2. goto someutubehack.com/getmedavid

3. script getmedavid looks at the referrer which is the url in 1

4. script getmedavid gets the vid and sends it back to you

5. you save it

6. profit! (sorry I read to much /.)
[G1 General] topdnbass:
Yeah,

That works, but this way is the quickest way for android phones.

And yea, it just changes the url on the fly,

and if the video has HD available, it gets that version.

Meaning best quality every time =)

Go to the URL in my first post.

There are several methods to do the same thing.
[G1 General] giantcrazy:
This rocks! Thanks for sharing...

I had previously used another method for downloading, but how does it get any easier than this? You just hit Youtube, find the video, and hit the bookmark.

Only downside is needing to rename the video after download, but that's the same as with any PC-based downloader as well.
[G1 General] blufabric:
worked like a charm :cool:

EDIT- So do you have to go through step 2 again everytime? I had to because i couldnt find the "DL Youtube Video" bookmark in my bookmarks..??
[G1 General] topdnbass:
If you downloaded it within the past 6-7 hours it will be called Youtube Downloader.

I updated it last night and found that name more fitting.

EDIT: New instructions added check above.
[G1 General] forceshield:
am I crazy or is mybookmarks gone from the market? Lost it when I did a wipe installing 1.41
[G1 General] philje123:
You're carzy! hehe

I just literally downloaded it from the Market myself... maybe do a search.

[G1 General] acousticdank:
0420420420

Hey fyi 0420420420 no longer has the bookmark. Can you reup it or give a similar solution like you gave to steel users? It was working earlier today but I went to jf1.41 and forgot to save it. Thx
[G1 General] su3ng:
Use the steel link and copy the code and save it to your own bookmarks and upload it to your own number in mybookmark. I just did this and it worked. Plus now you have your own personal copy.
[G1 General] topdnbass:
Yes, it appears someone has replaced the bookmark.

I put it back up, still 0420420420.

:( Don't know why anyone would do that.

Also, the steel code does NOT work with the stock browser.

The easiest and basically only way to get this working on the stock browser is like this.
[G1 General] 13bjunkie:
sweet another reason to get sidetracked at work. good stuff.
[G1 General] su3ng:
Yea don't pay any attention to me. Whoa I got 2 now I'm on a row baby. Well thanks for this anyways, I can't stop downloading from youtube.
[G1 General] acousticdank:
Thanks for the update, but is it really that easy to change a book mark, what a crappy way to set up that app then...

btw, you may want to tell people to do it one by one. cause when your old 420 bookmark was overwritten, there were about 25 bookmarks. i did one by one, and went thru each one hoping that yours was still there, but it'd be a total pain in the ass if you imported all 25 and had to delete them :P
[G1 General] elmejor183:
thanks this is great. i love the fact that it downloads in mp4 format which is great for easy importing into your computer.
[G1 General] topdnbass:
I just never thought anyone would overwrite mine.

So sad :(

I'm gonna talk rerware and see if theres a way to lock it.

EDIT: RERWARE IS GOING TO LOCK 0420420420!
[G1 General] topdnbass:
ALRIGHT GUYS!

Great news! I talked to Richard over at Rerware.

He has agreed to lock 0420420420!

That is the permanent code.

Make sure you 5* their great apps like MyBackup and MyBookmarks, they really deserve it. :D
[G1 General] topdnbass:
Umm could you please not promote here?

Guys that link wont work it saves in FLV.. We don't have flash obviously.

My method saves in mp4, so it actually works on our G1's...

Besides the copying and pasting and then typing in grabthatvideo.com/keepvid.com/pwnyoutube.com methods are well known, this is AVOIDING all that and making it simpler..
[G1 General] forceshield:
Yeah insane, lets just post junk on our forums, let me get right to that - can you also show me where I can download that flash player to play those flv videos?

Great work topdnbass, was disappointed when it got overwritten and wasn't there just checked the thread and saw you got it fixed and locked, great work!
[G1 General] Queue29:
Why the crap would you want the HD version? So you have reason to squint harder at your 2.5" screen and take up more space and take longer to download?
[G1 General] topdnbass:
Well queue. I've learned that the HD version doesnt work (from few tests) with the G1's.

Your quote was before I figured out it was best to remove the HD option :).

Kinda like the beta version.

So fear not, you wont need to "squint".

BTW.

If enough people request it, i can make a version that asks you if you want to download the the video in HD.

In case a few videos out there work and you want to test it out yourself(keep in mind vids could be upto 30-40mb)

The reason I didn't before is because I wanted simplicity and speed.
[G1 General] videoboombots:
TuneWiki redirect.

Would anyone know if it would be possible to redirect the Tunewiki video library to point to the downloaded mp4's?

By the way tight work Topdnbass.
[G1 General] J-22:
0420420420 doesn't seem to be working for me, any chance someone could check it for me.

Cheers

Update:

Working fine now looks like i had a bad connection,

May I recommend our app YouTube Downloader, on the Android Market. It allows you to download videos directly in MP4, without depending on KeepVid or other websites.

Until recently used avast!, and spybot search & destroy, I didn't have any problems.

As for antivirus i would recommend Avira Free Version:

http://www.free-av.de/

It is really fast, does not slow down your system so much, and the detection rate is very good.

However, for spyware you need to buy the full version or use another tool lile Spybot Search&Destroy.

Only annoying thing is the popup window when its downloading updates

Been using AVG Free for years: http://free.avg.com/

On one of my PCs, AVG clashed with one of my programs, so went with Avast instead: http://www.avast.com

Both seem to be as good as each other. The only problem with Avast is that you need to register every year to get a new code (but they don't block mailinator emails) and you need to remember to turn sounds off for each user on the PC or else you get annoying "Virus databse has been updated!"

Alongside either you need to run spybot for spyware: http://www.spybot.info

I've been using AVG for a few years now, along side with Windows Defender. Like Ather said, 8 really sucks, damn ads! I'm very skeptical when it comes to free software, even from CNET. But seems I have some new ones to check out!

I'd recommend Norton, but it's not cheap, subscription needs to be renewed, and interferes with too much. Although, it did have a nice feat of shutting my computer up about the user account control settings.

+3 Avira

I'll give more kudos to avira... you can add a patch that "subdues" the popup ads when updating. So far, it's the most lightweight and powerful free antivirus I've ever tried. I recommend it to my friends and family all the time.

I will admit though, as of lately, I've been using NOD32 and have almost forgot it's there... =) It isn't free though...

Good old Antivir. Now called Avira. This free antivirus is among the best (see av-comparatives.org). Heck, read its fair wikipedia entry.

The only thing that most users would find to be an annoyance is the daily (daily for me because my updates are set to daily) popup that advertises their EXCELLENT paid version. There is a simple OK button at the bottom; click it and you're good, it's gone.

AVG had a better product a few years ago but recently they haven't been able to keep up. Avast is also a good, good-rated product.

Another vote for Microsoft SE. As long as you modify the registry so that it updates several times daily, it's very thorough protection and very light on resources (it ought to be, since it's made by the same dang company as the ones who made Windows)!

Avira or Avast. I used Avira for many years but recently switched to Avast and I'm liking it. the Avira nag screen was annoying and Avast has a few col features ( such as built in auto sandbox) that are nice. AVG has far to many false positives in proportion to the lower detection rate that it has compared to Avira and Avast, so I'd recommend against AVG despite it's popularity.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] h.nocturna:
I recently dropped my Touch Diamond in some water and now the bottom sticker has turned red and I think that means my warranty is void. Anyways, after it was dropped in water, I turned it off to clean out the back, but when I turned it back on, the Internal Storage is missing. Not just the data that was previously on it, but the entire thing is gone. I can't see it from windows either (using both active sync and disk drive transfer mode). Is there any way to recover the Internal Storage or am I screwed? Thanks
