Here is where I am at.... I think I a good now! PHEW!

But here is how I got there....

-After my previous post above (summary... 2 Flashes of 4.5 kept having radio issues). I actually went and flashed to 4.9. After it was done flashing at the point where is says "hit home and power to reboot", it said it was installing the radio, and it went to the image of the IC Chip with and arrow.

It then successfully rebooted into 4.9.

And WOW... I really like the HTC theme and screens!!! I did get the force close after a call... but it did not seem like a big deal.

The one program I really wanted to run was the game Parallel Kingdom... which I downloaded from the market... BUT IT WOULD NOT RUN.

So I said the hell with it... I went and (again) tried flashing back to 4.5. This was going to be my last attempt before just going back to RC33.

Anyway in conclusion... the third attempt is now working OK. Parallel Kingdom runs. Deciding now which apps I must have as memory is very limited.

Thanks for everyone's help and advice.

I just noticed I also lost quiet a few pics 40+ Luckily I have a copy of my sdcard...
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
since root is available, cache to sdcard still works so its not too bad.
[G1 Android Development] chrisag92:
if u update to this will u get updates 4 the magic when updates r handed out???
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
I'm sticking with 4.5 for the time being and just living with the fact that I don't have the Stock IM apps or copy protected paid apps. I have come across a few issues though.

1. DXtop will not start. It force closes immediatley. This was the same with both 4.5 and 4.9 builds.

2. The Useful Switches app force closes when you try to change the brightness.

3. Haykuro, is there anyway you can release the stock IM apps within the resources zip? It would be greatly appreciated.

4. Touchdown has trouble initializing.
[G1 Android Development] reuthermonkey:
I'm actually going back to RC33 right now until I can get telenav, shopsavvy, and my camera working.

A2DP is fantastic, but I find myself using those apps way too often not to have them work.

As for everyone asking questions about the radio and how to install:

1: READ THE FIRST POST

2: READ MY SIG
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
Cupcake has changed some of the underlying API calls so its not surprising that some apps don't work under cupcake.

The dxtop author has said he is going to make dxtop work with cupcake soon.
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
Good good, dxtop is my favorite desktop alternative.
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/228/device.png

heh, is that what it looks like? :p
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
Looks like a new unlock screen.

Haykuro, is there anyway we can get the stock IM apps added to the resources.zip and the ability purchase and download copy protected apps? Thanks in advance. We all really appreciate all of your work.
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
stock IM apps are borked. (they are included, just borked.)

protected apps, like i said, can be done by modifying /system/build.prop

i will do it eventually, but it isnt priority atm.
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
You are a brilliant scholar! Keep up the good work! Next week is my wedding and I believe my fiance is about to become jealous of you! :P
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
haha thank you :)
[G1 Android Development] AndroidSamurai:
Haykuro,

Was just curious if I copied the "Busybox" from the Debian on G1 package if I could run my Debian again?

This is how it goes...

mkdir $bin #-p
cat $kit/busybox >$bin/busybox
chmod 755 $bin/busybox

and then...

"Now that we have busybox, we can use it to create a device node for a loopback driver. We need busybox for this as the G1 does not come with mknod, which is needed to do this."

alias _=busybox
_ mknod /dev/loop0 b 7 0
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
lol try it out, i don't see why that wouldn't work ?
[G1 Android Development] defconoi:
yes its way better, I sure hope 4.9 can get as stable even though I dont like it...
[G1 Android Development] AndroidAutobot:
Aight. I did indeed perform a search before posing this question. Didn't see much mention of it at all so I figured I'd ask:

what are the chances that we might see the zoom wheel (the one that appears in that Magic video on youtube that's all in French). I've been enjoying 4.5 for a couple days now and absolutely love it. I'm sure I'm not the only one that might be interested in seeing this zoomwheel implemented if at all possible.

Haykuro, you are a god =) Thank you SO much for all the time spent. I get to make all of my customers (I'm a dealer) jealous now lol. Anyways. any info anyone might be able to shed on this matter would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time.
[G1 Android Development] nebbes:
So im looking at the first post and it says the latest release is bolded.. but I dont see a bolded release haha =D

So which release is the latest, and how do the builds differ from eachother
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
Not going to happen. It was prototype that was discarded. I actually posted this on the google group and one of the devs replied.

http://groups.google.com/group/android-platform/browse_thread/thread/47bf6758a66fbba9
[G1 Android Development] AndroidAutobot:
Dang!!! That's a shame. I'd much prefer to have that than multi touch. Thought that they'd really stepped up their game and made something BETTER than multitouch even. Oh well. Not the end of the world lol. Thanks for the info man =)
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
yeah it looked cool, but maybe in practice it didn't work too well and that's why it was discarded. The cupcake browser is still awesome though.
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
I'm gonna venture back into the third party IM apps until stocks are working. I sure hope the battery life issues have been resolved with Hello AIM and similer apps.
[G1 Android Development] doooshty:
I agree the cupcake browser is very nice. I actually prefer the browser in 4.9. The double tap features are nice and not present in 4.5. Just little things like double tap to zoom or double tap brings you to the top of the text area. I'm not sure if this was here in rc33, but I know its not in 4.5
[G1 Android Development] MERKJONES:
Lol what? Have you seen the past 160 odd pages on this guhenry? Not sure anyone needs screenshots from your site to be quite honest, there are a lot throughout this thread.
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
heh, and it'd be nice to get some credit as well. :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] :
seriously props to you haykuro!
[G1 Android Development] MERKJONES:
rofl ya no ****. I wasn't gonna say anything about it, but there ya go. Give the man some credit random screen shot dude.
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
Without you none of this would be possible. You own a piece of my heart er.... G1.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
dude that posted those screenshots only signed up on xda to "promote" their blog / website

smh and not even givin credit where CREDIT IS DUE.

he should be banned haah.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
haykuro,

did you ever think of opening a blog online? to post all this stuff you did for the g1 / magic builds.

you deserve mad credit and i know alot of blogs/website are citing you as a source but don't really have a reliable website to reference you back.
[G1 Android Development] guhenry:
haykuro,

The screenshot contains Chinese input method with handwriting which important in China, is it possible to add the language support in locale and the IME from HTC_IME.apk and HTC_CIME.apk? If so, you will get much more fans from China! :)

The ROM I am using now is 4.9 but with the modification from a Chinese forum based on your great work.
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
Yeah that would probably be preferable over mini twitter updates.
[G1 Android Development] smuvman:
strange

yea its strange because all my pics and vids were in seperate folders. in one folder say i had 20 pics all of the sudden i only had 2. either way its not that serious because i have everything backed up but i think it did have something to do with me flashing from jf rc33 1.42 to magic 4.0 maybe something i did wrong
[G1 Android Development] jgu71424:
?????

is the radio update for 4.5....

korndub's radio update: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zhzebmabxyn
[G1 Android Development] stonefurry:
Sorry for any change of subject. Have a question

Sorry if this has been answered already but if I want to revert back to JF RC.33.

All I have to do is just put JF RC.33 update zip on my sdcard and just Alt+S or do I have to do a nandroid backup?

Thanks. I just want to add that I am running Build 4.5 and its running great even with JF old RC33 radio ( i think thats the old radio). I never updated the radio and things are great. I only have issues with some apps but thats ok. The apps are the flashlight app, and Steel browser.
[G1 Android Development] rsweepe:
just do it like any other update...put it on your SD as update then hit alt+s...you may want to do a wipe as well
[G1 Android Development] Pinesal:
I've been keeping up on this thread and I don't think this has been brought up.

Because this Magic build is intended for European markets, its seems to be affecting the availability of market apps. For example the app called Doggcatcher is not available in European Markets and so it does not show up on my phone since I have the 4.5 build.

I only make this assumption based on this post.
[G1 Android Development] ranajee_87:
i Have problem with 4.9 is there is no Eage apn working but wifi is working with this
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
You have obviously not been keeping up with the thread that much. The reason for apps not showing up is that the market see's this firmware as a developer phone. Developer phones are not allowed to download certain apps on the market as google is aware that phones with root can save the apps which would allow piracy. This has been stated a number of times. In fact I just did a search (as you should have done) and found it mentioned34 times thats quite a lot.
[G1 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
It isnt necesarily the european build that is affecting this because apn should determine location along with what network you connect to. It is most likely a copy protected app which cannot be seen because the magic builds operate on dev keys currently. Devs are blocked from copy apps due to the ability to override this protection despite the fact that having root allows the same access. ;) Sorry for my grammar im on my G1 at work.

On another topic... Haykuro - you said it was a one man show. Im not the greatest programmer as I am still learning Android but if you need help hit me up. Ill do what I can. Every day I get a little more familiar with it.
[G1 Android Development] StickyPeanut:
Where's the source code?

Is this cupcake? In particular, I'm looking for the source code to the funky new touch screen keyboard they demoed on Vodafone's new G2 phone.

I assumed it was in the Git repo in source.android.com but I can't find it anywhere...
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
Please kindly read some of this thread before posting, try the FAQ in my sig.
[G1 Android Development] ei8htohms:
korndub's radio update is for RC33

The radio update for Haykuro's builds is linked in the first post in this thread. Korndub's radio update is for RC33.
[G1 Android Development] Pinesal:
Wow dude, get some reading comprehension skill. This has little to do with the app being a paid app or piracy. I know about the issue you are referring to and I am bringing up a completely different issue that has been mentioned exactly 0 times.

Look, when you open maps for the first time, it's centered over Europe. That's different from the RC33 and earlier builds where it was centered over North America. That tells me where is something in the OS indicating what region it's from (for all I know it only affects where maps start for the first time but I don't know and you don't either). So I believe this could ALSO be affecting market apps in ADDITION to being a dev phone. So in other words simply making it a general phone wont bring back all our apps until you also change the region. That's what I thing and believe this possibility should be considered.
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
Firstly, Pinesal I owe you an appology, i obviously did not read your post correctly and thus didn't respond to you or the issue you addressed correctly.

Sorry:(

As for the actual point of your post I guess that the system does have some sort of region specific code. After all, why else would we have had to have different OTA updates for US and Europe. As I am in the UK I have previously had the reverse of this issue since JF's mods allowed me access to the Amazon App, which is not available to us due to licencing issues with the music. Im not sure what parts of the current builds came from where as there have been several builds and parts of builds coming into this. Xmoo, who posted the original system folder is from the Netherlands, so maybe that explains it.

Once again sorry for missunderstanding and thanks for raising a good point.
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
further qestion

A further question for US people, related to the above, when you go to Settings/Locale & text/ Select Locale are you being offered German,English,Spanish,French & Italian?
[G1 Android Development] borodin1:
I'm going to ask this again since noone answered my question the first time, did anyone successfully paired any of the builds with A2DP BT car stereo? I don' care about headphones, just need my car music :D
[G1 Android Development] funbacon:
I use ADP, run RC33, using Vietnam SIM, can't access Paid Market, use US SIM : can access Paid Market
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
I'm assuming since no-one replied, no-one here has a a2dp car stereo. If I remember rightly you don't either but are looking to buy one. So maybe someone can check this out. I see no reason whey it would not work since the principal is identical, but you could go into the shop and ask to try it, as not all bluetooth devices sync with each other for some reason.
[G1 Android Development] halfwaytothepole:
I can confirm this.
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
The calender widget isn't updating correctly in 4.5. It stays stuck on whatever date you actually stuck the widget to the desktop. Anybody else seeing this?

I searched the thread for Calendar Widget issues but came up empty handed. If it's already been posted can someone please kindly point me to the post? Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
Location issue

with regard to the location issue i have attached 3 build files, a jf moded rc33 and rc9 and Haykuro's 4.5. (these are found in system). I've put returns in to make them readable and you will be able to see several differences between US and UK builds. However on Haykuro's 4.5 some of these fields are blank ? anyone got any ideas to take this further.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
yeah i noticed this also, its buggin me a bit, but i just remove the widget and readded it and it fixes this but it gets annoyin

but thats the only solution i found. :confused:
[G1 Android Development] d474rpr:
I have the G1 and the ADP and I can see both in the US. The dev phone has nothing to do with what apps you can and cannot see, maybe the change view setting is set to see only free or paid apps only?
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
Not entirely true. Dev images can see unprotected paid apps but not protected paid apps.
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
Thanks for reply. I just wanted to make sure it was a build problem and not a problem with my phone.
[G1 Android Development] Pinesal:
Wow, I really wasn't expecting that. Good show my man. Now we can put this ugliness behind us. Want to come over for dinner tonight?
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
Don't think I can make it tonight (where the hell are you anyway). As for the appology, I was wrong, why shouldn't I appologise? I understand it may not be the done thing on forums, but I'm a big boy now and take my responsibilities seriously.
[G1 Android Development] craneo:
4.5 is very good, and I am using it with just minor defect which can be ignored. But one thing I want to know is how to move all apps to sd? I tried the same way which is working on R33, but it doesn't work actually. So hope this is can be resolved in 5.0...
[G1 Android Development] feverw0w:
what bugs are in 4.5 and 4.9?
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
Quite a few. Your lack of effort to read the thread is resulting in a lack of effort reply: Read the link in Baldyman1966's signature.
[G1 Android Development] got23hops:
question: I am on 4.5, a few versions back and I am looking to update to the one with the fixed BT and the keyboard layout. my question is how do i update without losing all of my apps? can i just do an astro backup? how do I restore them once I update? thanks in advance!
[G1 Android Development] Pinesal:
You can just update without wiping. Everything will still be there.
[G1 Android Development] got23hops:
i thought so pinesal, thanks!
[G1 Android Development] gsportz156:
no one get mad just simple question h in the top is 3g for tmobile us right??
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
Yes. It stands for HPSDA if I remember correctly.
[G1 Android Development] smuvman:
cache to sd

Anybody been able to move cache to sd on 4.5? I tried to move it just like r33 but when I get to cp /sdcard/transfer.sh /data/local/bin I get "cp not found" any help? I had it working on rc33
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Speed_Packet_Access
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
Ah, thanks for the heads up. I always get the 2 mixed up. Obviously I prefer the generic "3G" moniker as a catch all. :p
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
This has not been sorted for the magic builds yet.
[G1 Android Development] webgrafix:
As much as I LOVE to be on the bleeding edge with the newest build... I am in the process of moving back to RC33... sadly.

My observations:

PROS

-Way better battery life!

-On Screen KB... mostly correcting text! <--Very cool

-Phone seems a bit quicker overall. Especially coming out of the browser. You don't get that lag.

-For v4.9 <---I loved HTC's overall take on the system (theme)

CONS (which is why I am switching back for now)

-NO PAID APPS!!! I spent $$$ on these, and use them.

-Video is cool.... but it is still upside down and its annoying.

-Some of the free apps are not running.

-MEMORY!!! OMG!!! RC33 leaves you at least 74Mb's.... after installing these bad boys (4.5 and 4.9) I was left on 50Mb's. From bad to worse!

-No Voice Search... I like it and use it

-No IM clients

-No Latitude in maps (again I use it).

I am anxious to use these new builds... and I will revisit it when it is "finalized" and more of the bugs are out.

What I would ideally love to see is Lucid to get a hold of these and work his magic with apps/cache moved to the SD card.

Peace...

[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
I beleive its 3.5G.
[G1 Android Development] matt_stang:
Can anyone tell me if the auto correct for the slide out keyboard (ex. when you type theyre it corrects to they're automatically) works in 4.9? Thanks
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
yesss and its been said thru-out the thread please search before posting repeating questions...
[G1 Android Development] matt_stang:
I did search. And I don't think you're correct either because the last time I used 4.9 the autocorrect keyboard did not work on the slide out keyboard, only on the soft keyboard.
[G1 Android Development] borodin1:
I know... but I use my phone as a daily driver - phone calls, emails, etc etc etc, no home phone neither. Cant risk flashing unstable build if I don't get any benefit out of it (ie bluetooth support). I'm just waiting on sidelines for now and following the thread.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
woops, :eek: i miss read your question i thought you were talkin about the hardkeyboard if the keyboard keys were fixed.

but yeah auto-correct doesnt work on the hard keyboard

only softkeyboard aka VK as you said.

sorry about the mistake.
[G1 Android Development] Mast3rmatt:
When you talk about paid apps are you referring to protected( if you are talking about you can;t see any paid apps?)? I can access paid apps perfectly without any problems.
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
I do plan on including the Chinese IME on the next release (whenever that may be, my goal this week has been getting apps to SD working :cool:)
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
/me likes this weeks goal :)
[G1 Android Development] got23hops:
agreed! this would be great!
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
I have apps-to-sd working already and it IS great. It just doesnt work if I reboot, so that is what we are working on right now.
[G1 Android Development] AndroidAutobot:
You updated to the latest version recently? I've been running 4.5 for 3 days now. My paid apps work just fine (mainly Open Home full, g mobile back up as well as a few others). You can enable Lattitude by downloading Latitude Enabler on the Market too.
[G1 Android Development] gleemer:
I was able to pair this with my JVC AVX33 using 4.5 and stereo BT works a treat. Sorry for the bad picture, that's one thing this phone doesn't do well. Finally stereo BT. :D Many thanks to Haykuro!

[G1 Android Development] Ryanmo5:
Great work man its much appreciated! Thats the only thing holding me back from flashing over!
[G1 Android Development] AndroidSamurai:
WOOT! :D

Good job Darkrift... It's about time! :rolleyes: lol

Keep us updated on your progress...
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
I am a peon in this. Haykuro and others (fnorder, dreamkill, jf pokes his head in sometimes) are doing most of the work, I am just testing other ppls ideas (very badly I might add, I am still fairly n00bish at linux, i just know the basics)
[G1 Android Development] Ryanmo5:
I am a total noob at linux so don't feel bad, at least your trying to take it on :) You are making progress that's all that matters!
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
this is the best news so far.. I have 137 apps on my sdcard, and need them to work with this rom..
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
Official word, Apps-To-SD, solved.
[G1 Android Development] hondamx525:
so wheres the official step by step haha.
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
He isnt finished with 5.0, but apps-to-sd is possible in 5.0 now.
[G1 Android Development] hondamx525:
oh thats sweet. Are you going to post a step by step or like a batch file or something?

(when 5.0 is released)
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
yeah but you gotta remember maybe only half of those apps will work with this new 5.0 firmware because of the different API most 3rd party apps won't work they'll get a force close...

so much for apps to sd if none of the apps work right...:confused:
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
I have something like 230-250 apps installed (from rc33) and they still work here except for power manager, and I have sent a logcat to the developer to see if he can fix it.
[G1 Android Development] wwwhershcom:
so apps to sd is only for 4.5 right now?
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
Yes!! Just flash 4.5 if you need this man!! :D
[G1 Android Development] DSBP1:
4.5 kicks ass...
[G1 Android Development] mrcgibb:
this is just getting better and better! roll on 5.0 !!!!!
[G1 Android Development] wwwhershcom:
but i'm in love with 4.9.

and when it is availible on 4.9

how do i got about reclaiming my old apps that were lost during the switch?
[G1 Android Development] hondamx525:
do we just do the same steps we would for rc33?
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
w00t!! no wipe required (for me at least).
[G1 Android Development] hondamx525:
yup, i didnt need to wipe either, went from 4.9.
