Attention all nooblets

Okay. This is getting ridiculous.

Let's clear some things up before someone gets hurt.

1. Search here before posting something in this thread, or posting an issue here.

2. Do NOT complain in here, or anywhere else, about landscape mode not working 5.*H. This is a feature not a bug/glitch. 5.*H is built for the HTC Sapphire/Magic which does not have a hardware keyboard. HTCLauncher.apk does not have a landscape profile. This is not a glitch or missing or anything else. It is intentional. If you'd like landscape mode in the 5.*H builds you can take out "Launcher.apk" and "Settings.apk" from 5.*G and do the following:

adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/Launcher.apk
adb shell rm /system/app/Settings.apk
adb push Launcher.apk /system/app
adb push Settings.apk /system/app
adb shell reboot

3. My contact information (e-mail, AIM, MSN, Google Talk, Y!, or any other contact information) is a resource, or for chatting. I don't mind talking to an intelligent individual who doesn't mind researching before asking a question. But I’ve had (and this is an understatement) 20 people contact me over "HOW DO I FLASH MY ROMS!?" "WHAT IS HAYKURO???????" and various other retardations and they are just unnecessary. I spent the time to write a tutorial over at http://haykuro.theiphoneproject.org/?page_id=35 please have the courtesy to read it, and then ask questions in relation to the tutorial. Please stop abusing the fact that I want to be involved with you guys, and help you out, or the resource will no longer be available.

4. USE THE FORUM SEARCH FEATURE. It is there, it is good. I guarantee within 5 minutes of a good search. If you're unsure how to search, go back to kindergarten or simply commit suicide. This is ridiculous. Stop being lazy.

I'm sorry but all of this had to be said. I've spent countless hours working with as many people as possible, listening to as many people as possible, and allowing whoever wanted to help, to do so. I do not need your life story; much less do I care to hear it.

If you do not fit into any of these categories, congratulate yourself. You are an intelligent human being worthy of one of the most important features of humanity, individual thinking. It is what separates us from animals, and if you cannot perform the simple task of thinking with a logical thought process, I’m somewhat surprised you managed to read this post (more so turn on a computer or connect to the internet.)

Would be pretty nice if it were possible to combine the best features of both builds into a hybrid build.
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
not strictly true, you can take screenshots on ANY build, but only using a computer, screenshot app however has problems with some builds.
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
Well said. Thank you for your time.
[G1 Android Development] wpbcubsfan:
Great idea, however, there are a few problems as a result of this. I made my own update.zip using this idea. Because the settings.apk isn't entirely compatible there are actually settings you can't change (i.e. Exchange, and every time I tried to change "Sound and Display" settings I received a force close.)
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
Please note. Those that make the Gods angry will be damned for all eternity.
[G1 Android Development] zrubi:
Hey,

I have a lil question plz

Now that the new android version supports multipile Keyboard layouts is there a way to add coustom layout?

For example I want to add Hebrew layout even if it will be only to the VK and not to the HW.
[G1 Android Development] Mr. Moe:
did the wifi fix, but now won't connect to 3G. Only 2G works...
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
Funny I just made this work....it isn't the youtube app it is MediaUploader.apk

Unzip a google build

cd /location/of/5.0g/system/app/
adb push ./MediaUploader.apk /system/app/MediaUploader.apk
adb shell reboot

PS - that's my linux code...the cd for DOS would be cd \blah\blah\blah\5.0g\system\app

Then you have the option in the gallery to upload to youtube. I already tested it and it works. (space may be an issue, if so you can adb install ./MediaUploader.apk and it will install to your /data/app)
[G1 Android Development] Pinesal:
:O awesome news! I will definitly try this

EDIT: This works! I just uploaded a test video to Youtube and it's there! THanks for the fix TheDudeOfLife!

to haykuro

Dear haykuro,

I believe I can talk in name of many of people around. I just want to say that I have been silently using your info and your work. I have been happily struggling with many wipes, problems, abd's remounts, force closes and many other absolutely funny things using the info from this fantastic thread.

As I was saying, I believe I can talk in name of many people when I say that I want to show my profound *respect* the work you have been doing for the android community. It has been an amazing story!

So... I understand that these words will not stop some trolls just asking "what is haykuro?" but my intention is not to stop them, but just to give some positive feedback on your work.

So when you publish whatever, please do not think on these trolls, but on some thousands of people just like me. We use happily the outcome of your work giving the value that it deserves.

keep with the good work, which already has been great!

and most of all, THANK YOU

Alex@Barcelona

pd: Not the message was clear, English is not my mother language.
[G1 Android Development] peenoise:
Yeah, i was just looking for an easy way to delete the Chinese from the dialer, cuz im lazy:p
[G1 Android Development] NiN39Z:
Someone please help with the Tmobile US APN settings? I can recieve MMS but not send any on haykuro's 5.0G build. I been searching but no luck. All I can find is ATT APN settings. Someone please help. Thank you.
[G1 Android Development] cvsolidx17:
Yeah I had a feeling there would be more problems, any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
2 things

1. Thanks Dude, this is excellent. Another fix for Haykuro to add as standard for the next H build.

2. If you don't understand the ADB stuff this works just as well if you copy the apk to your sd card and use appinstaller or linda or whatever you usually use for not market apps.
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
Ever hear of a site called Google, it's quite popular for searching for things i've heard.:D
[G1 Android Development] NiN39Z:
I searched in google and those wap.voicestream settings isnt working either. I've been searching and nothing is working. Is it a bug in the build or is there another APN settings that will work?
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
done. (new 5.0.1H and 5.0.1H apps to sd with youtube upload)
[G1 Android Development] vettejock99:
Sounds like a plan. i'll fill one out there in a bit
[G1 Android Development] bassbox:
Umm, the camera cannot be extrcted that easy from H and got included to G? ^^
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
Probably not. I bet there are drivers involved.

Back up your stuff and experiment. Thats how i learned.
[G1 Android Development] Pinesal:
As promised a donation is on it's way :cool:
[G1 Android Development] liquid8d:
Has anyone seen yet that 5.0.1H has handwriting recognition??
[G1 Android Development] bassbox:
Yeah, when i come home.. atm im at my grandmum (eastern...) and aftr that at my girlfriend^^ maybe the drivers can be extracted also :>
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
haykuro the new updates 5.0.1H causes to wipes your info / data w

think in future release you could do non-wipe updates thanks again :]
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
I've already ported the H camera app to G..

if everyone wants i'll do it officially in the builds..

EDIT:

uploading new H builds without Chunghwa widgets..
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
I had this originally, but too many noobs were complaining because they were having problems and they still refused to wipe.
[G1 Android Development] Pinesal:
Oh, no that's ok Haykuro, I'm sure the people using the G version are fine and dandy with their inferior camera. But thanks for offering. :)

Edit. You are really starting to close the gap of differences in the builds. Maybe soon we will only have one. I mean really, what are the differences now besides looks?
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
One quick question, that contacts.apk (without the chinese characters) mentioned in several posts back is only for 5.0.1H correct?

Yes! I prefer the H camera to the G camera. But I see what you're saying, some people prefer the G camera with the upload to YT (I assume your H camera port to G doesn't have the upload feature?)
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
that would be tops! i'll take the vk too!!!!

you da man
[G1 Android Development] kron2:
i made it from 5.0.1H don't think g has chinese characters
[G1 Android Development] tekthebeast:
I think you should officialy port it to the G build (:
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
Get with the program i fixed that an hour ago ;) youtube uploading is in both builds.
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
I assume you're replying to my post about the contacts.apk. Well, the G build has the standard (dark gray circles) dialer. I was just wondering if it would work in the G build. When I first ran 5.0.1H, about 2 days ago, I really liked the new dialer with the contacts listed, not to mention the behavior of a new call (white screen and the user's picture coming up while calling).
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
:D I guess this is what I get for being out all night and waking up just 2 hours ago....lol

I don't really care for having the YT uploading, I just really like the H camera (zoom feature specially).
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
I dont know about you guys, but my battery would not die yesterday. I was watching youtube video on it for about 1.5 hours, did about 20 minutes of video recording, tons of games, a few calls, texting, email and much more. I used my phone 10x harder than I normally do. When I plugged it in I had 40% left. Now given I do have an 2200mah extended battery but I have drained it faster using it less before.
[G1 Android Development] bassbox:
Ive no pc near... anyway to get h camera to g without pc? You will be still able to upload vidz from gallery, wont ya?
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
Same here. I went out at about 7pm last night, texted a bunch of people, made several calls, pulled up a couple of youtube videos, pulled up directions. Came back home around 4am and didn't plug the phone in the charger, woke up at arond 2pm (:p ) and the phone was still at 60% battery. And I'm still on the stock one! Fluke?
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
what version are you running ?
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
Haha i am just messin around anyway.

For the record, the drawables for the google keyboard exist in the HTC build. Clicker.apk has the sip drawables. I just dont know how to enable it.
[G1 Android Development] Pinesal:
I know the zoom feature can be convenient but it's really not THAT useful. Do you all know that it's only a digital zoom? Do you also know what digital zoom works by taking a unzoomed image and copping it for you before the picture is shot?

So you have an image that is 2mp (or what ever the G1 camera is) in dimensions with picture quality of a 640x480 image. And you can get the exact same result just by cropping your picture.

Just food for thought.
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
Are you kidding?! Bring it on! =]
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
LOL (or do I mean gimh),

I have been trying to comment less because of the same thoughts. It is getting pretty out of hand and those who are here and willing to read and find the answers are suffering. I am currently on page 402 of 405 trying to catch up, and 2.5 of the next 3 pages will be ppl asking questions that were answered in the posts I just read. It is very annoying and I wish these ppl had an open thread that we could ruin so they would see how it is.

Good job in spitting it out without bruising too many egos and I hope it works. Maybe this thread will start growing more slowly now.
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
Yes, digital zoom sucks, but I think HTC camera just looks better. Period :)
[G1 Android Development] kusotare:
so I figured I'd ask here since nobody in the ADB thread seems to be helping.

I cant get the adb drivers to install. period. heres the scoop:

-phone is set for usb debugging.

-running vista 32 bit sp1

-whenever I plug the phone in, windows automatically installs the drivers for "android phone" which equate to the windows WPD file system volume driver, only allowing me to access the SD card, but no adb support.

-windows is set to ask me for drivers anytime i plug in a new device.

-i've tried uninstalling from device manager and replugging, windows still automatically installs drivers.

-ive tried manually updating the drivers, but windows tells me that the aforementioned drivers are the better ones.

I'd really like to get the ball rolling with this, so if anyone has any clue on how I can force vista to let me use the ADB driver, please let me know.
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
I am with you. Im sure it's time consuming and confusing enough dealing with all the fixes and requests for one build. I like the G version, but the camera and vk have me feeling less than satisfied.
[G1 Android Development] Pinesal:
Agreed, and the addition of white balance option are much much more useful feature than the digital zoom.
[G1 Android Development] tekthebeast:
How come my VK doesnt show up? 5.0.1H. Hmm... I powered it off and on but it didn't work.
[G1 Android Development] Ronnymes:
http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-p...=Filename Summary Uploaded Size DownloadCount
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
5.0G no apps to sd.
[G1 Android Development] Pinesal:
You can have both drivers at the same time. The ADB drivers are separate and can coexist with the Android drivers. You don't replace one with the other.
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
check settings under text and locale
[G1 Android Development] Pinesal:
Maybe you have to enable it in the settings.
[G1 Android Development] kusotare:
Wont let me install them though. No prompt from windows when debugging is enabled on the phone, and if I try to manually install them separately (ie using the "install legacy" option in DM) i get error 10: cannot start device.
[G1 Android Development] nolageek:
Just wondering what's the status of this? Does the current G Build have the H camera?

Also, I promise I've read every page of this thread.. but I've only gone from 4 to 4.5 to 5H to 5G... if we re-flash to the newest within a build (5G from last night to 5G today...) do we need to wipe?
[G1 Android Development] wizern23:
I was listening to music on my phone for almost 8 hours from about 90% charge i woke up and it was at about 35% charge.

on another note. can somebody upload the launcher and settings from the latest g build. i'm on vacation(gotta love spring break ^_^) and don't have the time to donwload both the g and h builds. thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] ei8htohms:
Haykuro my man, I don't wanna complain or anything...

But if you go back to a no-wipe 5.0.1h, I'll Paypal you $20 right now. :)

[Edit: Or better yet, change the build numbers too! 5.0.2 through 5.0.999 are ripe and ready for the picking!]
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
Lol, poor guy. The wipe was added for the 60% of users here who never wiped and complained about nothing working. I agree it sucks for the rest of us (I *****ed about it while beta testing those builds for him) but I also voted for him to leave it in because of the n00bs. What you can do is do a nandroid of your /data partition and just restore that after you flash. Its like unwiping ;)
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
dang really forsure thanks ill try that then :]
[G1 Android Development] DeFiant*X:
Running 5.01H, after I installed Contact Owner, my phone rebooted and got stuck in the boot sequence. This happened twice immediately after I tried to launch it. Anyone else have similar problems with any other programs?
[G1 Android Development] ynghova187:
im on 5.01h apps to sd. And i seem to be having a problem with the radio. As long as im in my room im fine. My phone always has signal. But when im driving in my car my signal goes in and out for a few seconds. Is anyone else having this problem.
[G1 Android Development] kronosx1:
I wanted to thank everyone who helped me with my radio issue. Its been working perfect since. And haykuro for the release of 5.0g. Its been working great for me. Great job all around. I have a friend with a wing who wants to start hacking his phone and I keep directing him here to XDA. Keep it up!
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
That is a really great suggestion! Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
the noobs are afraid to wipe or backup their apps...

its simple, to restore back to fully working in a few steps.....

First backup apps with Astro..

then backup sms, mms, call log with Mybackup - DO NOT BACK UP CONTACTS.. GMAIL DOEST IT FOR YOU AUTOMATICALLY..

use linda file manager to rename Radio - saphire radio to update, and flash the radio first. * if you dont flash radio you will have signal problems

get your rom you want named as update.zip ready on the sdcard. ( use the pc or linda file manager to rename it to update.zip

wipe

update

reboot phone

If you have wifi skip the regular setup, and set up wifi in settings.

Then go to the market, download astro and mybackup, and linda file manager..

then you can restore the apps with astro,

restore sms,mms,call log with my backup.

you can complete the whole process in almost 15 minutes...
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
Glad I could help, and dont ask why I did not think of this before today.
[G1 Android Development] ei8htohms:
awesome

Thanks Darkrift, will do!

Haykuro: the money's still on the table. :)
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
I'm gonna regret this but it is pretty easy to convert a build to a non wipe.

Learn about the update-script. It is in /META-INF/com/google/update-script inside the update.zip

Look for this line:

format DATA:

Remove the line.

Rezip and resign.

Apply your wipe free update.

If you don't know what this means...stick to the wipe version. I'm not gonna get into details and cause Haykuro more issues with people that don't understand sometimes a wipe is necessary.

IF YOU DON'T WIPE I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RESULTS

ei8htohms - you owe me $20 ;)
[G1 Android Development] someprogr:
A major bug I noticed with the HTC builds:

There are no sync options accessible with Google Apps (GMail in particular). Theres only options for configuring Exchange.
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
not a bug...the google build has the google sync, not the htc
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
My problem with using the mybackup utility was that it would not link the apps with market. Example, lets say I backed up appsmanager. Once I restore the backup, I look for appsmanager in the market and it says "free" instead of "installed". The only way you can utilize market to view software updates for a backed up app is if you reinstall it off of the market.

Darkrift, Does restoring the apps via data.img restore that link with the market too?
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
yes you can sync gmail in the H builds.. when i flash back to the H build i will post the steps to get it working... its not that difficult to do.

If you contacts are syncing then your email is syncing.. if you got a lot of emails, its just gonna take a while.
[G1 Android Development] someprogr:
Well the issue was that I didn't want to sync my phone contacts with gmail. Thats my biggest gripe with not using the HTC build
[G1 Android Development] Autarkis:
Just reporting on the recent update from 4.5 to 5G:

* wipe was necessary, was terribly slow otherwise

* WiFi works, BlueTooth untested

* GMail works

* normal Mail works via 3G and WiFi

* new Google MyMaps doesn't work while the old one insisted on updating

* Maps and Latitude seems to work with Latitude Enabler for root users

* OpenHome and OpenHome skins work without any fuss

* Contact Sync, Calendar Sync and GMail Sync work

* Google Talk works

* re-installed all 120+ apps via adb install

* restoring SMS, MMS, call log, AK Notepad data via MyBackup successful

other stuff, including music, headset, calls, mms, yet untested, will report.

Thanks again Haykuro, you are l33t. :D
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
ahhh.. that clarifies everything then... most people just want the sync to work period..you on the other hand dont want it to sync...
[G1 Android Development] kusotare:
well, interestingly enough, went to flash to the new build and all of a sudden the adb interface works...in the recovery console. oh well.
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
Yes, it restores the whole data partition which means all settigns, apps (unless you have apps on sd, which wouldnt get wiped anyways), symlinks, dalvik-cache, browser cache, market cache, databases, contacts, mail, bookmarks, (the list keeps on going, but I am sure you get the point).

Meebo. It is the best IM for the phone right now. I sign up for a meebo.com account. Link all my IMs except gtalk and then login just using my meebo account on my phone.

How do you replace the keyboard from the 5.0G build with the htc keyboard from 5.0.1H?

Tried pushing clicker.apk over to /system/app/ but to no avail.
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
did anyone else notice the post a few pages back about the HTC vk having handwriting recognition? I saw it and a few mintues ago I tried to test to see if the "G" builds had it. While doing so I found a very interesting bug (cupcake bug, prob not anything haykuro can fix). I use open home, but I am not sure it matters. I double clicked in the search widget to bring up the vk, and then I tried drawing on the screen. When I did this I swiped to the next desktop and the desktop instead of being covered by the vk was above it. I couldnt get it to fix itself without changing to landscape and back.
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
did u disable the built in open home keyboard?
