if i update my 5.01h chinese build with the 5.01h chinese build with pdf viewer will the phone wipe?
[G1 Android Development] wizern23:
So it recreates the symlinks itself?
[G1 Android Development] jonnybueno:
I prefer the G build as well. Orientation animation as well as the keyboard layout.

The auto-prediction on H seems better but I hate that there is no space bar in the browser keyboard unless you change pages

H seems a little bit slower than G for some odd reason. Even after a fresh wipe.

I like app updates though, theyre addicting so I'm staying on H till something can be figured out
[G1 Android Development] TommyPickles:
For my own testing and development purposes, I'm going with G. For those doing likewise dont forget you can use "adb install *.apk" to install apps from PC via ADB.

A question, and I realise this is the wrong place but since this thread is so busy, how do I view the ext2 partition on the sdcard so that I can remove all the existing apps and cache data already stored from previous builds on there?
[G1 Android Development] JLundberg:
Thanks for the info. Just to let you know i've been using the 5.02h appstosd for several days and really havent seen any problems. I can downlaod from market and install and also teather just fine. I only seem to have about 36 meg free on the phone.

I just wanted to know. I guess i really should use the non appstosd until i get a chance to partition my card.

Also, battery life is way better than the oem that came with the phone.

My sd is a 16gb class6

Thanks again for helping this stupid noob
[G1 Android Development] brianb7590:
WifiTether .96 works, didn't have to use the Haykuro version that is up on the WifiTether site.
[G1 Android Development] jordanjf86:
How exactly do you do that? I saved all of my apps on my sd card using a back up app. I want to try the G rom but i at least need to get a file mgr on my phone to install my apps. Thanks
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
it would start up just fine however you wont be able to link it to the apps on the card thats all. if you backed up what you have to keep all the customized settings you spent time on and flashed the apps to sd version over restored your backup and then you can link the apps seeing how you used the card with the apps on it anyways and keep your times spent settings. thats if you choose to but it will work fine ss it is but just not read that part of the memory card anyways.
[G1 Android Development] Sistum Id:
I just wish we could merge H and G and have the best of both worlds. :D
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
Clarification Please

Hey guys I'm very very interested in this ROM, but I just wanted some verification/clarification on some of the questions I have before I begin to flash this ROM.

1. How can you tell what class SD card you have? ( I want to do apps to SD as people say its better but certain SD cards aren't fit for the job)

2. I heard theres no market and apps on G ver? Is this true? What are other things that currently not working on the G ver? To get apps working is that what Apps to SD is for?

3. How can i revert back to regular JFv1.42 RC33 If I decide to switch back and don't have ADB.

Please don't flame if these questions have been answered, I've looked through the forums but these specifics have been so scattered.\

Thanks in advance! :)
[G1 Android Development] qingcai:
for those guys who need to display none-English, I put the orignal fonts back, and remove email teeter for space, and removed the chinese character from dialer credit to haykuro, and here is the link,

[G1 Android Development] Sistum Id:
1. Look on your SDcard, should be a number 2, 4, or 6. I beleive 6 is the highest and 6 is recommend for Apps2SD

2. Market didnt work but I think its fixed now with the new update just released few minutes ago.

3. Flash with DREAMIMG.nbh which will take you back to RC29 and from there you can root or not and go back to whatever rom you want.
[G1 Android Development] TommyPickles:
Install the Android SDK so that you can use the ADB tool.

Connect your G1 to PC (Do not select USB mount on G1).

On your PC navigate in a Command Prompt shell to the /tools/ directory in the SDK.

Type "adb install c:/app/appfilename.apk" where /app is the directory and /appfilename the name of the program (eg. com.metago.astro.apk)
[G1 Android Development] jonnybueno:
that seems a bit drastic, I would just flash JFrc33 as an update.zip from recovery mode
[G1 Android Development] Sistum Id:
Maybe :p When I start over, I start over. Besides it keeps me sharp with the linux jargon. :D
[G1 Android Development] TommyPickles:
Damn MediaFire. I cant seem to download the AppsToSDCard G version. Can anyone host/help? :(

EDIT: Turns out it wasnt friendly to my Adblocker. Used ugly IE and it downloaded fine.
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
wow insanely fast reply thanks for everything guys I might flash my G1 within a couple of days muahaha. I'm so excited.
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
Your probably going to get flammed by someone for this and all of this information is in the threads but heres my take

1 you can tell usually on the card there a letter C with a number inside it. 2,4 or 6

2 No the G version has no market but is currently being worked on and should (cross your fingers) have a fix for that soon. so far thats the only problem with that build...well only major problem i think. to get the apps to sd allows you to have all your apps stored on the SDCARD as well as cache instead of your phone freeing up the internal memory. there are steps you need that are also in these threads to do that as well.

3 yes you can restore back but doing so without ADB i dont no how snd i havent found a working post showing me another way that actually does it without using adb. but you can just re apply the jf1.42 update on your phone again placing it on your sd card renaming it to update and it will revert it back that way also.

hope that helps
[G1 Android Development] jonnybueno:
yeah but that would be starting waaaaaay over. It seems like reflashing RC33 would be easier, especially since that person doesn't seem that experienced.

I know, that with my limited knowledge, it was kinda a pain in the @ss to figure things out without posting "noob" questions.
[G1 Android Development] jonnybueno:
As long as you came from JF rc33, and your recovery partition is intact, you can just flash it by naming it update.zip. Really easy to do... really really easy.

You might want to wipe before you flash it though unless you really like that glowing android guy
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
it was kind of a pain for me to figure out how to do things as well. Before rooting my phone, i spent about 4 days researching it just to make sure I wouldnt f* up my phone. I tried researching for Haykuros rom too but I couldn't find out the answers to my specific questions so after several days I finally posted and BOOM! they got answered in like 5 minutes.
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
thats what i said but thats just reflashing the jf image thats not restoring through adb. if he reflashes the image hes just gonna have jf the problem is he doesnt have adb to do restore once he gets back to jf.
[G1 Android Development] jonnybueno:
Ok, well definitely don't flash dreaimg.nbh. If you do that, you'll have to root your phone again.

just enter recovery mode(home+power) hit alt+w to wipe your user data, then press alt+s to apply your JF Rom (named update.zip) when its all done, you will be back on RC33
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
well theres about 500+ pages for your reading pleasure here on all your questions. people are nice in answering but will flame you for not reading stuff thats posted here in neon signs lol
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
if hes applying the jf rom based on these instructions to not have root..... when hes all done (based on these instructions),.......wouldnt he have root?? im not understanding this post.
[G1 Android Development] jonnybueno:
Then he should buy mybackup pro and use that to restore settings and shortcuts on RC33.

All unprotected apps can be backed up with this app as well
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
yea i read the beginning and the end, not so much the middle, which is also why i added please dont flame me, lol.

Email Fix for 5.02H

A member reported that notifications for additional pop accounts in bulid 5.02H were not being received.

This has been posted on the issue blog:

http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/issues/detail?id=188&start=100

See the blog for the fix.

It requires a replacement Mail.apk and the removal of the teeter.apk

Enjoy!

:)
[G1 Android Development] jonnybueno:
huh root? i thought he just wanted to know how to go back to rc33... he has to be rooted to flash haykuros rom...
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
he wants to know how to get back to and UNROOTED phone if he doesnt like the whole root shabang lol lol thats what i think hes talking about. him reflashing jf hes going to keep root access. he would actually have to go back to rc29 and do the manual officall tmobile updates to get back to the rc33 unrooted platform or atleast thats one way to do it.
[G1 Android Development] jonnybueno:
Seriously? Why would anyone want to go back??? :confused: I've done that to some returned phones, and if that is the desired result, then you are correct sir.

Just seems like alot of work to just try out 1.5... if youre gonna come that far i'd at least stick with JF RC33

Edit: did you read his post? is says ". How can i revert back to regular JFv1.42 RC33 If I decide to switch back and don't have ADB."

No wonder so many noobs ask dumb questions... cause ppl on here give wrong answers. Poor guy would have to start from the beggining again.... tsk...tsk

aight I've unfortunitely recognized a problem w/ the current browser in 5.0.2Hr3 =(

It seems to be the same browser that tchort provided... works great for the most part. But for some weird reason Myspace.com doesn't recognize the browser's Android origin and will absolutely not give a "desktop version" option at all. =( Which means that if you go to myspace.com on the browser you're absolutely locked into their lame ass mobile site that I can't stand. =(

Anyone know a good fix for this? Is there a way to possibly mod the browser (kinda like the option that Steel provides) so that the browser broadcasts to websites as if it were a desktop browser so we'd never have to worry about mobile sites ever? That would be awesome.

additionally. Does everyone else who is running 5.0.2Hr3 (or older and also had pushed tchort's browser fix) encountering the same problem when attempting to navigate to myspace.com using the browser? I'm pretty certain the issue IS indeed inherent to the actual browser. All the other G1s at my work (3 demo phones and 2 colleages' G1s) still load the Android homepage when accessing the site.
[G1 Android Development] SolemnWishing:
Does this new H build support apps to SD? Or not yet?
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
lol i agree i mean i dont want and unrooted phone but i guess if hes not happy with the root when he tries it out and wants to go back thats the way to do it but i think once he roots his phone he wont think about it at all .
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
would using the steel browser to access your myspace atleast help for that issue?
[G1 Android Development] jonnybueno:
dude, I know you own this thread and everything:D, but take the time to read his post before you give bad advice:eek:
[G1 Android Development] AndroidAutobot:
I've never bothered w/ it personally. If you run Openhome, Ahome or Dxtop the problem doesn't exist =) easy fix. =)
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
o trust me i dont want to go back to stock =O
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
nah I found the post...then read that in order to get it to fully work you have to import the settings.apk...which in turn borks a few commands...that's a no go.

I'mma flash H right now...use it the whole weekend...so I can finally formulate a true opinion over which build I prefer.

nandroiding first of course.
[G1 Android Development] jonnybueno:
Well, if you need help, then pm me and I'll do my best to provide correct info
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
ok so i missed that im human he'll get over it. instructions either way revert him back to JF or the unrooted version if he chooses.
[G1 Android Development] AndroidAutobot:
Yeah, I'm sure it would. Last time I tried Steel is REALLY wacky on 1.5. all black unless you press menu to bring up the address bar and what not. If possible I'd prefer to fix the stock browser =). steel is slick but I like the default browser's window support a lot better. I'm sure I'll just resort to steel though if there's no easy fix to this issue =) not the end of the world ha ha
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
i dont own anything and like allot people on here i msiread it so get over it and move on to the next question ive already owned up to missing that what else do you want

[G1 Android Development] funbacon:
Haykuro forgot adding the app-on-sd version. I updated and lost all my application. I'm flashing back to 5.0.2H rc2. TAKE CARE !

@haykuro : I hope you would remove "format DATA" in update-script, I think most of us don't want wipe when update from old H version to new H version.
[G1 Android Development] jonnybueno:
No worries, it just that ever since a year ago when i got my first cellphone, and three months ago when i got my first computer, I've noticed a terrible amount of elitist, snobby, arrogance on these types of boards.

Which honestly I find very amusing:D
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
well im atleast not trying to be snoby and help people rather then some folks yelling at noobs for every repeat question. not saying thats you at all but thats what i was doing. i accidentally missed that part is all
[G1 Android Development] Sistum Id:
I like to go back to the beginning simply because I feel like its a fresh phone out the box feeling. I know nothing is currupt with a super wipe. Right now I'm bouncing back and forth between H and G so I dont care to go all the way back. Once JF releases his 1.5 rom I will flash the DREAMIMG.nbh and start all over.

He asked how to get back to RC33 JF 1.42... my answer wasnt wrong because it will ultimiatly get him back to what he wants.
[G1 Android Development] funbacon:
nanddroid can't save your system/sd dir from wipe :))
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
k cool thanks.
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
i guess what im curious to no out of this post and just in general. JF has been rather quiet in all this has anyone heard of him working on a 1.5 or do you think hes just waiting for its offical release?
[G1 Android Development] i9zero:
Thank you Haykuro

and thank you for this, I wasn't sure how to restore the fonts! this is a great help.
[G1 Android Development] AndroidAutobot:
ha ha ha. I was wondering why all my data was gone when I didn't do alt+w at all. Thankfully for me though I did a nandroid backup and was able to flash my data.img =) works like a charm. So freakin easy too. I'm absolutely extatic on how much time that's gonna save me in the future lol
[G1 Android Development] AndroidAutobot:
hmm... would that be a concern if I was running apps to sd i'm assuming? I don't really bother w/ apps to sd cuz I have a ton of apps but not so many that my phone is ever in desperate need of extra space at all. I figured when it got bad enough then I'd finally delve into it and I haven't quite gotten to that point yet =)
[G1 Android Development] skiptomylou11:
Alright, peeps. I've been following the thread since the update came up, but no word at all on the market fix. Has anyone tried the latest G update? Did it fix the market issue?

I updated, wiped and whatnot, but I still can't download from the market. I'm trying to see if it's definite that the market isn't working still to make the move to H version, but maybe it's just acting screwy on my phone. Anyone on G able to download off the market with this last build?
[G1 Android Development] wizern23:
search the the thread and recheck the code page. its on both. Thats what you get for being just a little impatient.

All you have to do is redo the symlinks and as long as your ext2 partition is still there all your apps will come back. I updated and redid the symlinks and everything came back the way it was beforehand but just on the new build
[G1 Android Development] Ronnymes:
Is it possible with the latest build to make a phonecall via wiredheadset?
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
The G maket sadly is still not fixed hes working on it still trying to figure it out. H market is fine as you mentioned if your moving over to that.
[G1 Android Development] wizern23:
He's still working on the market fix as far as i know
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
yes wired headsets works. i havent tried the button on the headset though to see if its functional.
[G1 Android Development] jonnybueno:
You know i was kidding right? No worries! =-D everyone is trying their best to learn!
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
lol its cool its just im a Noob also the post count doesnt mean crap its just means i make post. i try to infrom based on what i learned and sometimes i get it right and sometimes i dont like anyone else but ill own up to it im learning also...
[G1 Android Development] Ronnymes:
WoooT thats great, can you test it for me?

And also when you playing music, does it stop the music to take the call?
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
ok did that and soon as you put the headset in it placed the headset symbol on the notification bar. i pressed the button and it opened my music player right up. it wont place a call from the button or i wasnt able to do that. during a call pressing the button just muted the mic. when a call came in the music stopped for me automatically. pressing the button during the music player did stop and start the music also.
[G1 Android Development] Ronnymes:
Hmm that's my biggest problem, I wanna use the headset.. so we have to wait untill the bug has solved.

They say that this month TMobile releases a new update :)

The mic of the wiredheadset doesn't work with the 5.0.1Gr3
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
lol well if they do then ill be waiting for the rooted version of it. long as it includes the same features as haykuros build or more is always welcomed. but certianly not less
[G1 Android Development] wizern23:
i'll wait for it to be combined with his builds if it does come out.
[G1 Android Development] Ronnymes:
Yeah I think its the almost the same version as the Haykuro build, gonna flash now Haykuro's latest build... :)
[G1 Android Development] wizern23:
as AndroidAutobot said. the browser in the new H forces you to look at the mobile site for anywebsite that has one. I tride to go to haykuro's blog and it did it and i tried it with this thread.
[G1 Android Development] bestwebs:
HI,

Did you try the browser fix in issue 37 on the blog?

I can't get wifi tether for root users to work. it comes up with the same errors it did before. I updated to 5.0.3h a2sd after a wipe.

whats the new kernal version? i have 2.6.27-04102009-daproy. shouldnt i have one with a newer date.

[G1 Android Development] ghoonk:
Okay, now I'm properly confused by all the various versions.

I'm currently on the 5.0.1H zh build without PDF. I'm sticking with the H build simply because I do use the Chinese font set, the Activesync capability, the Dialer app, and the 'smarter' keyboard.

That said, which is the latest version with these features? I've seen the 5.0.2Hr3 but I don't think that has the Chinese font set. How do I install this without losing the Chinese fonts? Or can I install 5.0.2Hr3 and then install the Chinese font set separately?

I've been through the last 30 pages of this thread and still can't find an answer for this.

[G1 Android Development] ghoonk:
Thanks for the link. That's the one for the A2SD version of 5.0.2Hr3 -- any idea if the Chinese font set is included?
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
you probably should change the user cp settings to show more posts per page. you are right about this thread, though. this thread is no longer necessary since he has a blog and a google site to upload to. there are also several more specific threads concerning the builds in this forum.
[G1 Android Development] ghoonk:
You'd be right if it wasn't for the fact that haykuro's blog doesn't describe the updates -- look at Hr3 and you'll see that there is no changelog for it even though it is out
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
my point is that it would be better for people to post more specific threads, not one catch-all that is thousands of posts long, most not useful...like this one.
[G1 Android Development] YoungAceAtlanta:
Dont get me wrong they is some good post that makes sense in this crazy thread and is helpful but who going to go back about 300 pages just to find them? or should i say 2,000 post back. lucky i know what im doing and don't need to read up on this thread i just come to see updates n issues. so i know im not the only one having the same problem.
[G1 Android Development] omwill422:
I see the new g is huge and you have to go to a2sd which ilve been meaning to do for a while but ilm having a problem picking a card. will someone be kind enough to hit amazon and recomend which card to buy, if i understand right then the g1 will only accept 8gig and no higher.
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
i dont think its where you get the card or brand really altough there pretty cheap now i have a 8gb myself but you can get more they have 16gb and ive seen someone with a 32gb direct order one from sandisk. Its the class of the card thats important it should be a class 6 if your wanting to do apps to the sd with the best performance.

I can see the wisdom in the "full wipe built in" releases

This was bugging me for awhile too until Darkrift pointed out that you can just Nandroid restore userdata data.img to recover your apps and settings and whatnot. Sometimes this does not work for me at all on the H builds however and I suspect that if this type of Nandroid restore doesn't work (causes crashes, etc.), that flashing a no-wipe build would cause the same exact problems (I'm assuming it's weird app conflicts that causes the crashes).

So the solution is simply to try restoring the data partition after flashing the latest H build. If it works, great! If not, a full wipe would've been necessary anyway. You see what I mean?

flash back radio

I have a question; This weekend I am going to take the plunge and enter the new world called 1.5. However, I have the suspicion I have to get back to 1.1 on Monday.

When I read about the problems switching back to 1.1, the most common issue is the radio. You need to reflash the radio. I used search, but I cannot find any explanation [of even radio files] how to flash the radio, in order to get back to 1.1

Is the radio flash integrated in a "normal" JF flash?
