I am running on 5.0H and it is working pretty brilliantly for me. About to do a NANDROID backup and go to 5.01H and then do Wifi fix. I do prefer the G builds, but having Exchange Activesync which works well for free in the H build is awesome. Any chance the newest G build has this ability or can someone try to take the apk if we up it and try to load on a G build?
[G1 Android Development] teenfaces:
I'm using motorola S9 hd via A2DP on 5.01H with no problems at all. Everything works, including videos, mp3s, and all phone calls work perfectly.
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
Try upgrading your radio firmware
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
I noticed with 5.0G it will not autorotate with the keyboard open. Actually its not autorotating at all. It did it a few times earlier.
[G1 Android Development] got23hops:
So is there a way for me to download the zip to my sdcard, rename it and install?

Unable to start wifi?

I am running 5.0.1H with the sapphire radio and my wifi will not turn on. When i select it it just says unable to start wifi. Does anyone have any ideas?

Also is there a way to change to the google virtual keyboard, or at least disable the chinese stuff, this htc one is way too cluttered and the predictive sucks.
[G1 Android Development] jayaustn:
I was actually just about to post the exact same questions.

In addition to getting the Chinese characters off of the VK, is there a way to get the widgets to remain in English? I got the calendar one to show English characters for a minute, but as soon as I went back to the home screen, a bunch of those rectangles were back.

And, one last question: After upgrading to the 1.5 firmware, is it safe to update without wiping? Say I wanted to go from the 5.0.1H to the 5.0G; can I do this just by applying the update?
[G1 Android Development] funbacon:
not rotate in keyboard slide out mode is awesome, why do you want to change ? You will have many trouble with slide out keyboard on your bed ^^. I suggested haykuro fix it. If you want rotate, you can close your keyboard and it will work ;)
[G1 Android Development] ranger7424:
The answer to this was posted a few pages back and repeated several time since. Search for it and the the work around
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
I flashed 5.0.1H last night, everything works fine (even though I didn't flash the Sapphire radio).

A couple of things I noticed, and will probably submit some to the Google Code page:

- my downloaded applications showed under "My Downloads" in the market, then re-downloaded one of them (Chomp SMS) and 10 minutes later, all applications were no longer listed except for Chomp, and 2 paid ones.

- the in-call volume doesn't work, it stays at one level, it shows on the screen and goes up and down, but not down all the way.

I'm updating to 5.0G to try it out right now.
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
I'm sorry; I meant it would not rotate with the VK open. Not sure if its a bug or not but it doesent appear to rotate at all now.
[G1 Android Development] ranger7424:

[G1 Android Development] funbacon:
This bug is only in 5.0.1H the Home application is not original Home from HTC sapphire. It is Chungwa Home

[--Haykuro 5.0.1H--] (build from HTC sapphire FW)

----Bug----

I think this a build from a Chinese guy, this build have new feature, Chungwa widget support - I think he replace original home by his application (like aHome or DXtop), a bonus game, new interface and lost some awesome feature

1. * Camera button doesn't work

2. - Touch keyboard disable/enable option is renamed to TouchInput Chinese

3. * No build-in Quickoffice

4. * No build-in IM

5. * Home rotate bug

6. * Dialer come with Chinese interface. I think it's replacement Dialer because it doesn't have contact, call log tab as original HTC Sapphire Dialer

7. - Lost orginal rotate effect. It's replacement by new rotate effect (like that iphone rotate effect)

8. - Chungwa widgets only have Chinese interface

----New Feature----

1. Chungwa widget in Chinese interface

2. New Music Widget interface

3. Added PDF reader

4. Bonus game Teeter (very fun)

5. New Dialerin HTC sapphire interface

6. Radio better

7. Home rotate when keyboard slice out

8. Added Maps

9. App on sdcard

10. Support paid app download
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
Works fine for me with 5.0G and the latest radio.

Unrelated to your question, but how do you take screenshots? Screenshot app does not work for me (says "Invalid delay").

Someone has already mentioned this, but it seems like hundreds of people are trying out these builds. If you search YouTube for This video was uploaded from an Android phone., the number of results is increasing by hour.

Several questions:

Can anyone direct me to a link with the wallpaper pictured on the first page of this thread? It doesn't seem to be in the resources zip and after changing it, I can't seem to get that wallpaper back.

Also, I asked this a little earlier but that post seemed to get buried; is it safe to update back and forth from the H and G versions (5.0.1 and 5.0, respectively), without wiping? And if one switches from an apps-to-SD H to an apps-to-SD G, will the apps remain on the SD, without having to go through the procedure again?

Finally, is there any way to get those widgets in English?
[G1 Android Development] Pinesal:
Man it sucks not having the ability to upload video to Youtube with 5.01H but I can't see myself going back to the crap camera from 5.0G.

What a pickle.

Maybe someone can make an app that will add Youtube to the "share" menu.
[G1 Android Development] ei8htohms:
you must wipe data if flashing from H to G or vice versa

I don't know about the wallpaper, I'm on 5.0G and I don't use any of the stock walls anyway, but hopefully someone else can help you with that.

Flashing from an H to a G build or vice versa will almost certainly require a wipe, but flashing from a G to a G or an H to an H doesn't SEEM to require a wipe, at least typically. In cases you can try it without a wipe and see what happens and then wipe afterwards (and reflash if necessary), but I haven't heard of anyone being able to successfully flash between H and G builds without wiping.
[G1 Android Development] shadowhacker27:
1-why would you want to go back and forth from the G to the H? H works perfectly..

2-nandroid is your friend in this situation. I know it's annoying to be restoring but hey, probably you want to wait for Haykuro to make the final build just like I am doing. it's just my opinion. do as you please.:o
[G1 Android Development] Pinesal:
I flashed from G to H without flashing. It reset my desktop icons and stuff but my third party app settings retained.

the original boot.img was like 2MB so i changed it with something a little more.. fitting.. :D

these changes are all temporary until i find a way to minimize the size of these builds.

EDIT:

and yes, i've done all sorts of png and image compression.
[G1 Android Development] Cargo75:
Ok so I have the latest JF root and am on RC33. When this is complete will I just do the usual rename it to update.zip and update that way or is this more complicated?
[G1 Android Development] glock30:
Just an idea since it was mentioned earlier... I remember reading something about stopping the OTA upgrade option... would that shave a little off the size issue. I'm a noob at linux and android.. so sorry if I am wrong, but I wanna see a working version of this :P

Just an FYI, with the magic port it doesnt identify when headphones are plugged in.
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
lol i removed the ota-certs.zip (what is needed to do updates) and it was only 2KB :P
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
nah thats it.
[G1 Android Development] matt_stang:
Yes, that is all you have to do. Name it update.zip just like any other update and boot in recovery mode, alt s to install, etc. BUT if I were you, I would back up all of my apps because this will get rid of them. Also when you reboot after update you will have to reboot twice. That's normal. Good luck. (and yes, it is worth it. though you could wait for the complete build)
[G1 Android Development] Cargo75:
yeah Im def gonna wait for the complete build.

another dumb question, this will have the virtual keyboard right?

Yes. And it is AWESOME.

I agree; H does work very nicely. I just haven't tried G yet, and I thought it'd be cool to check out. Although I guess you do have a point; Nandroid would allow me to test it without any issues.

Also, I might be wrong, but isn't G based on an English build, without all of the Chinese characters and rectangles here and there? That seems to be my only issue with H; I'd like a phone that is in, well, English.

thanks for quick reply everything work perfect now
[G1 Android Development] zzabbas:
Yes. Download from

http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/downloads/list

Save to root of sdcard.

Raname to update.zip

Use terminal (Example mv 5.0G-appstosd-signed.zip /sdcard/update.zip)

Or use a file manager like Linda or Astro

Reboot.

Hold "Home + Power"

When booted into recovery, "Alt + W" to wipe

"Alt + S" to write

and finally "Home + Back" to reboot.
[G1 Android Development] ratdrsuperstar:
on 5.0.1 is anyone elses widget still in chinese??
[G1 Android Development] AndroidAutobot:
I STRONGLY concur. 5.01 is SO ridiculously stable i dont see myself going back to a google build unless 5.01G is released. But i do miss that ability. It'd be SO seamlessly awesome to record a video and upload it to youtube straight from my phone.
[G1 Android Development] jayaustn:
I mean, they're really only in the dialer and the widgets, but those are two things I would love to have in English. The new dialer is definitely really cool, and I would definitely cover my home screen in widgets if I could read them, but the Chinese characters and the rectangles really detract from each feature.
[G1 Android Development] vettejock99:
Yup, I think that is the case - Mine exhibited the same behavior and it worked after I went from the RC33 radio to the Sapphire radio.
[G1 Android Development] emudojo:
if you ever faced the missing icons error with 5.x.x sd, the easiest solution is

1. change your locate from english to any other language (spanish seems to be the easiest to follow)

2. go to your hime and check if you have icons under the dock, if so,

3. change your locale back to english

4. enjoy.

I prefer the G over the H, build and I love the youtube upload feature, but I prefer the keyboard layout of the H, build
[G1 Android Development] kenny9438:
Whats different between 5.0"G" and 5.0.1 "H"???? Plz tell me
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
those widgets are not compatible with this version, I read somewhere that you need a chinese sim in order for it to work, and, they are using resources so I will delete them
[G1 Android Development] zzabbas:
I know it is not your fault and we would love to help you; however, it is extremely tiring answering this question over and over.

G - Google Android Build. Designed and intended for the G1

H - HTC Android Build. Designed for other HTC Phones in progress.

Google Build has traditionally been more stable; thou it is hard to tell know.

Google build has a cupcake style keyboard layout and has a youtube upload feature

HTC build is more robust, option to integrate with an email client, better camera (with zoom support) and customer keyboard layout. However, because this is a port of a chinese phone os and hence has some chinese characters within the dialer and the widgets.

I personally like the 5.0 G Build better
[G1 Android Development] jayaustn:
Oh, that's a shame. The calendar one especially seemed useful.

I'm assuming there's no way for a developer to alter the code a bit, to make it US-compatible?

lol, I always wanted to yell that...

Ok, can anyone who has been nice enough to file an "issue" (or who will be filing one) on the google code site please remember that there are multiple builds out and those who are testing (trying to reproduce the issue) are going to have to click on EACH one to read it and find out what version you are using so it would be really nice if you added the version to your summary. An example of an easy to read issue summary is "[5.0H sd] fake problem here" in which I would know to ignore since I am on [5.0G sd].

This is not a rule or anything, but the number of issues grew immensely overnight and I want to try and help by confirming any that I can and it is really hard to tell what is what on that page.

[G1 Android Development] DaUub:
Is the camera fixed on 5.0G?
[G1 Android Development] ei8htohms:
well, it seems to wipe for you if you're not on apps to sd

I just tried it for fun (G to H, no wipe) to see if you could now make the switch without wiping (and without crashing) and it seems to work, but it basically performs a wipe for you. If you're on app to sd, that might not be a big deal, but I'm not, so I'm not doing myself any favors by not wiping. Apps are gone, system settings are all gone, home screen is completely reset (I use dxTop, so that's not too surprising I guess), etc.

So then I restored via Nandroid to a 5.0.1H build full of junk that I had set up earlier (apps, settings, shortcuts, etc.), and flashed back to 5.0G without wiping. This way sorta works, but any links to HTC apps that aren't in the G build are obviously borked (dialler, camcorder, etc.) and there's some sort of Calendar storage force close issue that pops up withe very restart.

Most importantly, the virtual keyboard was gone. I re-enabled the Android keyboard under Locale and Text settings and the vk still wouldn't come up even after restarting. Obviously this is a problem.

I'd say that if you are using an a2sd build you can flash from G to H without wiping, but there's not really any advantage to doing so that I can see. If you flash the other way without wiping you MAY loose your keyboard and run into other issues. I certainly did.

Your mileage, as always, may vary.
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
Yes! Camera & audio are all fixed on 5.0G.
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
The update-script (script used by recovery during an update) contains "FORMAT DATA:" this is to prevent people from complaining about broken devices when in reality they didn't wipe.

if you have apps to sd it will kill the link to ext2 if you wipe, so thats an advantage of the no-wipe flash

Also, 5.0G doesnt have the PDF reader. Do you think you can include that in the google rom too?
