new to all this stuff...

I didnt know we can do so much with this phone. I am exited to have one.

you guys are awesome. I have never updated my phone before (other than the OTA). The instructions seem so easy but there is one thing that is stoping me. Before I try updating my phone I would like to know if any of you have seen any improvement on the battery life?
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
All 3 builds (4.0, 4.5, and 4.9, as long as you apply the radio update) have reported a major performance and battery increase.
[G1 Android Development] Mr.Jones:
Well Ive appied that radio update to the regular RC33 and its working fine. (Im going to wait to upgrade to 5.0 hopefully the screen rotation will be figured out =) ) Ill post how it works out for me far as increasing battery life.
[G1 Android Development] Jceezy:
Comes up invalid file
[G1 Android Development] :
i did the same..using the saphire radio with rc33....
[G1 Android Development] Beast84:
So if I apply the radio to the rc33 update & it doesn't work out too well, can I go back to the rc33 radio just renaming to update.zip?
[G1 Android Development] :
yep just make sure you know which one is which
[G1 Android Development] chitownboi24:
In response to you twitter haykuro I think u should continue to work on the 4.5 build since its stable
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
You know you have to have root access right?
[G1 Android Development] rsweepe:
Yeah I would fix 4.5 more...like the camera and auto rotate, and if you can add some things from 4.0 and 4.9 then that would be sweet to
[G1 Android Development] n8izzle:
apps on sd

So since we know that we are going to be out of an update for about 2 weeks.. has anybody tried to apply their apps onto a sd card??? if so let me know what you did.. I'm gonna apply the modified mountd and init files and see if that would do the trick.. i will let you know if it works..
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
how can u do this if the kb doesnt work too well in terminal with symbols.
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
the vk also doesnt pull up in terminal u have to use the kb in which the symbols are all inconsistent so its hard to type a command with the necessary symbols..
[G1 Android Development] n8izzle:
well i have found the "-" key and that is "g".. but i cant find the "/"... i am still trying i see that if you press capitol and alt together you get other keys.. but maybe a fix on the keyboard might just be faster... sorry to get your hopes up.. if i come across anything then ill let you all know..
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
I think I remember seeing a post where haykuro said the backslash / isnt working on the kb yet.
[G1 Android Development] The_Adjudicator:
I am on RC33 and I just tried to flash the radio update posted on first page. It gets to Installing update...

E:Syntax error in update script

Installation aborted.

Is this a stand alone update or is it a patch for build 4.5 and/pr 4.9?
[G1 Android Development] xexelala:
yes.

I will root my phone...

I read may great things about rooted phones but my biggest issue is the battery life. it is horrible.
[G1 Android Development] jawash22:
New Radio problem

I tried to put the new radio on my jf version too, changed the name to update.zip, radio stayed the same...anybody?
[G1 Android Development] dashed:
Is the radio update for 4.9?
[G1 Android Development] daproy:
The radio update from korndub worked for me with RC33. No love from the haykuro radio update...same error...
[G1 Android Development] jawash22:
radio

Nice! The HTC radio for JF worked this time....thanks bro!
[G1 Android Development] The_Adjudicator:
JF radio update worked for me also. Thanks corndub and JF.
[G1 Android Development] coolbho3000:
korndub's radio worked for me. On rc33, will switch to Sapphire when a stable build with WiFi, bluetooth, and google apps comes out. :)
[G1 Android Development] dashed:
I searched this thread and couldnt find an exact answer. To revert back to JF RC33 do I need to install HardSpl or can I just flash JF RC33 using the magic SPL? Or do I have to use nandroid? Thanks
[G1 Android Development] Rickster08:
thank you loving the new HTC Magic Rom....and also had to do korndubs radio also..kept getting an error with the other...
[G1 Android Development] PAO1908:
one question:

If we cant sync with google does this mean I have to find another way to get my contacts back ?
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
downloadin as we speak :]]

i dont mind about gmail / maps at the moment =D

wow i cant wait and like other says does it take away our root?
[G1 Android Development] al74:
Why do I have a feeling that in a couple of days you'll have everything ;)

Thanks guys for the awesome work!
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
Google apps are being worked on now, as i said before, due to a slight error certain apks aren't being read. its being resolved now.
[G1 Android Development] elektrownik:
cant we simple install apps like gmail from g1 ?
[G1 Android Development] got23hops:
oh sweet! thanks! I'm gonna test my patience and continue to wait.
[G1 Android Development] jriley60:
man

haykuro = genius
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
If it was that simple I think people of the OP's caliber would have figured that out, don't you think?
[G1 Android Development] mannyb:
Definitely.

He needs to put a donation link in his sig. God knows he deserves a few beers on us.
[G1 Android Development] Chryslerq:
Wow I did absolutely nothing today at work because of this thread! The anticipation is killing me.
[G1 Android Development] hondamx525:
Is it necessary to do the new bootloader for this update or just recommended. Also, if we switch back, am i right in saying i will have to switch back to the old bootloader?
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
Yeah he needs a donation big time! Great job all!
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
damn right. Also the OP and his source.
[G1 Android Development] jriley60:
scary

sure is taking a long time to boot.....whew up now : p
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
anyone update their g1 with its latest release on this firmware and play around with it.

im about to update in a bit lol
[G1 Android Development] dilaynie:
It took a while to boot, but overall... A M A Z A Z I N G so far!

The new widgets are fabulous, too...

Can't wait for the google apps. Goodness, I feel like it's christmas morning. Grinning all over the fraken place!

Haykuro... you're the boss.
[G1 Android Development] m4ntis:
yea that scared that crap outta me i was like bricked! lol
[G1 Android Development] chief2842:
Lol you and me. Thanks for the work will wait a lil until he iron the kinks out.
[G1 Android Development] Minker17:
So you update this just like you would one of JF's releases?

And you can go back to RC33 with no issues as well?
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
haha as far as donations go, you can go ahead and send em here https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=4290101 ;)

thanks everyone, and i have to go to work at 5 (its 4:14 now) i'll have to post the completed update later tonight (around 9 when i get back).

sorry everyone, but it'll be done!
[G1 Android Development] brianb7590:
You can wipe and flash RC33, or you can use a nandroid back and flash it via fastboot. No need to change the bootloader back.
[G1 Android Development] eyesee3:
love 4.5 but i have to revert back to RC33 due to no tether option and i need it for my internet at home :(. I'm excited for for the new update.
[G1 Android Development] reuthermonkey:
just flash rc33 by renaming it to update.zip as usual. You *might* want to flash the rc33 radio too if you have trouble with rc33 and the sapphire radio.
[G1 Android Development] n8izzle:
apps to sd

well i have been able to get to the shell and create an directory in the system/sd..

i was able to xfer the init and the mountd.conf files to the phone as well

but then when i input busybox df -h... i get not found

now i know i have this sd card partitioned with ext2 and fat32

so my question is.. are we going to have to modify the mountd.conf file and the init.rc file because its being used for this firmware??? if so can anybody tell me how or help me with this.. :D
[G1 Android Development] hondamx525:
there arent any ext2 drivers yet, so its impossible =[.
[G1 Android Development] n8izzle:
lol.. wow.. there goes an hour wasted.. lmao..

well my next question is how do we create a driver for ext2? is this difficult.. i am really wanting to get the ball rolling on this so on thursday when we get 5.0 then we will have the option of getting the apps to sd..

sorry if im sounding a little persistent on this..
[G1 Android Development] hondamx525:
i doubt we get 5.0 on thursday, he said he would start working on thursday. Lets just say you arent going to compile a driver for cupcake that hasnt been made yet.
[G1 Android Development] djlucklu:
i reverted back to rc33 with nandroid but im not getting any data connection. i checked the data access in the settings its been saying connecting for the past 2 hours. any help?
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
dang honda u beat me 2 it lol.. i was just about to say that..
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
@djlucklu

You need to reflash the radio for RC33.
[G1 Android Development] djlucklu:
flashed it after i posted. but thnx by the way and it worked. hope it stays on
[G1 Android Development] mistaxthong:
how do i flash it ?
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
wow........
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Download it put it on your S.D and install as you would a normal build Alt+S.
[G1 Android Development] :
you beat me to that!!!!
[G1 Android Development] mistaxthong:
OOOOHHHHHHHH ! lol i thought it was something else haha
[G1 Android Development] acidnine:
You should be careful about using it as a dedicated connection, you have a restricted amount of data transfer per month, you'd be surprised how quickly that can be used up. And according to T-Mobile's policy, they can charge you whatever they want beyond that.
[G1 Android Development] eyesee3:
mannn i didnt know, thanks for the heads up, hmm this makes me think, i think i will stay with 4.5 then, that was the only reason to revert back, dont use bluetooth or wifi much
[G1 Android Development] eyesee3:
is there a way to check my data usage? i got the limited "unlimited" data plan fr 34.99
[G1 Android Development] acidnine:
Ha!, cancel that, looks like I'm behind the times...

[G1 Android Development] Sir Savant:
I think it's a 10gb limit now, but anyone with a Total Internet Plan from before the Android can still consume as much as they want. It's part of the plan. No restrictions, period.

Anyone want to summarize the various builds in one post? Something short and concise. And no, I do not want to read 100+ pages to figure that out, someone should have taken note of these things. And yes, I've checked the first page. Contains links, not summaries of each build. Thanks in advance. :)
[G1 Android Development] Shindokie:
Hey guys, incase you didn't read this twitter, but all builds have working bluetooth and wifi.
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
hmmm for build 4.5, bt seems to come up but wifi says unable to start wi-fi
[G1 Android Development] Pinesal:
Same, bluetooth works but wifi doesn't.
[G1 Android Development] darico18:
hi

i just have a few questions.

if i install Build 4.9.

do i need to install SPL:, Drivers:,radio update (for Build 4, and 4.9) and korndub's radio update (for RC33).

right now in running Jf 1.43 RC33, with the radio update that he gave us. and the hard SPL.

help please
[G1 Android Development] :
you can install 4.9 first, leave the hardspl - and you can apply the radio update (either one)
[G1 Android Development] darico18:
alright thanx and how bout the drivers do i install dat 2
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
Well, it doesnt seem like haykuro posted anything here, but he was busy tonight. I introduced him to some people that had some stuff that helped him with his things (vague on purpose). It seems like they helped him find solutions to multiple problems, so I expect to see a much more stable, fully app(itized?) build soon. Keep an eye out (like any of you could keep your eyes away from this thread for more than an hour unless you are sleeping).

Once again, thanks for the hard work haykuro and I cannot wait to see how your 5.0 turns out.
[G1 Android Development] :
only if you are planning on using adb...
[G1 Android Development] :
YES! thanks for the hard work and all the efforts that the community has put forth for the greater good! Thanks Haykuro for the great work and initiative! looking forward to 5.0!!! let me know what i can do to help!

Sleep??? WHO NEEDS SLEEP!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] mrgzg1:
could anyone help me with where to find the new radio files i cant scroll thru the whole post to find it!!!!!!!!!!!! And any idea when wud 5.0 get released
[G1 Android Development] :
very first post..... search button helps a lot...
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
Anybody get BT stereo working? My g1 hangs if I try to connect to my bt stereo headphones. Could be my bt headphones, they are really old and crappy.

Regular bt earpiece works fine. Now u can control the bt volume with the volume keys on the left of the g1 which is nice. It breaks the jawbone 2 volume controls though. Now it won't cycle through all the volume levels, it will only cycle up.
[G1 Android Development] darico18:
if i install does it wipe off ?
[G1 Android Development] :
no, the radio doesnt wipe anything...
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
Hey, I have problems with my things, do you think you could introduce me to your people and their magic stuff :).

If your friends stuff helps us to get our magical dream build then you deserve the thanks of all here.
[G1 Android Development] darico18:
how about the build 4.9?

and do all my old apps work normally once i install this?
[G1 Android Development] Ethanaxd:
Omg wifi bt fixedddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
[G1 Android Development] bassbox:
some1 got A2DP working? If so, please tell me the build used
[G1 Android Development] allyourbasekris:
A2DP is not currently working for me, It's freezing the phone and not transferring the audio stream to my headphones, Motorol M9's, I've had these working in the master cupcake build before so I'm pretty sure there are a few kinks to iron out, excellent job getting it to work this far though. I'm using 4.5 btw.
[G1 Android Development] Ethanaxd:
4.9 couldn't find my S9 Motorola... but it gets on at least.
[G1 Android Development] darico18:
i installed and all i couldn download any apps from market. other than that this is great =] and also i had all my apps on the sd card and those didnt work ether.

i went back to rc33 does any one know what this error mean ? it says google.gapps has stop
[G1 Android Development] Ethanaxd:
yo need to wipe data..
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
okay so in order to do this and go from lucid jf rom - we need to

do a wipe,

flash the 4.9

then flash the radio

then reboot

---

bout to give it a shot - or does the radio go first ?
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
okay flashed it and so far everything as said previously is working fine..

Wifi works but shows edge still connected..

camcorder is inverted and shows bluish.. but not a big deal right now

VK is actually nice, might have to use it more often.. lol..

will probably test it out later today, gotta get some sleep now.. and install some of my apps.
[G1 Android Development] Ethanaxd:
any one knows how to get all the apps that are on the sdcard?
[G1 Android Development] funbacon:
Well, Wifi and Bluetooth okay so we have these problem:

1. Music Widget stuck

2. Headset problem *********

3. Rotate problem *********

4. Keyboard layout problem *********

5. Map, Quickoffice, PDF reader missing ********

6. EDGE/3G status stay when using wifi

7. Wallpaper setting

8. Ringtone setting

9. Camcorder and Camera problem **********

10. Airplan mode problem (I do not test 4.9 with wifi)

******** : Priority Feature.
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
a2dp

I installed 4.9 and paired my g1 to my motorola s9 and my phone locked up...no errors...just frozen. so trying reboot (home menu power). and started music player, turned on s9 (i hear music!!)....frozen g1:( same as before. try reboot (home menu power:unsuccessful). turned off s9...phone powers off at same time as s9(wow). turned on s9, turned on g1...can't get out of the lock screen, turned off s9...still frozen...pulled battery...about to cry.
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
Rotate problem has also been fixed. Just confirmed.

Maps will be included in 5.0 thanks to help from dream_kill (this man is amazing, helped out with the wifi/bluetooth stuff and offered to get Maps working for me as well :eek:)

Quickoffice is shareware, so i'm not sure if it will be included in the final 5.0 build.

PDFViewer i will try my best to fit (libpdfviewer.so is like 2 megs so...)

Wallpaper setting works fine, I just removed all wallpapers so it shows up blank. :rolleyes:

Ringtone setting?
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
These are the same problem, ie Haykuro removed all the defaults to make room in the build. He did another zip of all the wallpapers & ringtones.

On the subject of the remaining problems I assume that Headphone and Camera/Camcorder problems are down to hardware differences, how easy are they going to be to solve?
[G1 Android Development] andrews240:
Has the -phone app crash- issue in 4.9 been resolved? The phone app force closing after every call is my reason for downgrading to 4.5.
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
if this was aimed at Haykuro, you're too late he's gone to school.
[G1 Android Development] funbacon:
I'm sorry, but I see that you have problem with nand memory size ? Why don't you format and resize system partition ? You should mix this update to support running application from ext2 partition on sdcard, I believe that 9 of 10 people, who use the modded HTC dream, are using application-on-sdcard FW version. I see the original system of HTC sapphire is about 80mb. HTC dream have 256mb nand memory. I think resize partition code can be found in update file (which's used to upgrade from rc29 to rc30)
[G1 Android Development] andrews240:
It doesn't need to answered immediately, I am patient. Others can feel free to chime in also. Someone running 4.9 can confirm this easily.
[G1 Android Development] funbacon:
I hope Sapphire Dialer come back too. I like everything of Sapphire FW
[G1 Android Development] Chryslerq:
Im using 4.5, I have my Jabra BT3030 paired but it freezes when I turn the device on. Also My wifi is unable to start. What baseband version is the the Sapphire radio?
[G1 Android Development] corypressley:
can sum1 please help me out. i have build 4.9 and I'm trying to update the radio. I dont know if i have took the wrong steps to do this but here is what i did.

downloaded 4.9 build

copied to sd card as update.zip

wiped Alt+W then Applied the update Alt+S= Successful

downloaded radio

copied to sd card as update.zip

wiped then tried to appy and it goes halfway through and gives me a

E:Syntax Error in update script

Installation aborted

anyone please help me out what am i doing wrong??
[G1 Android Development] Chryslerq:
Dowload the file again, check the MD5 to see if they match before update
[G1 Android Development] reuthermonkey:
if you're doing the 4.9 build, you don't need the radio. Check your About Phone section in settings and look at your baseband version. It should end with 2.22.19.23

If you want to install a radio anyways, or your radio doesn't match the above version, see my sig for the link to radio file.
[G1 Android Development] corypressley:
thanks man you were right. lol Ive been lurking on these forums forever but I'm still a noob thanks everyone for the help.

Thanks haykuro for all your efforts. Cant wait till 5.0
[G1 Android Development] DynaMight:
Just tried both 4.5 and 4.9.

4.5 ran smooth and stable. Wifi didnt work though but BT did. Sync'd all my contacts etc perfectly fine too. Shame about the wifi and some of my most used programs didnt work.

4.9 looked pretty but as stated, it isnt very stable. it wouldn't sync with my contacts, but Wifi and BT both worked fine.

Both naturally suffered from the inverted camera etc

5.0 will be interesting if you can get wifi/BT working, Google Apps stable and sync'ing, Camera working 100% and stable.
[G1 Android Development] barakinflorida:
phne crash after call no log entry.... yes

4.9 dialling with no crash! (edit crash is still there my first test was before contact sync)
[G1 Android Development] ynghova187:
its currently a tie. so what version did he decide to use for 5.0 because i dont think he said or i missed it
[G1 Android Development] barakinflorida:
4.5 and 4.9 tsted

CORRECTION. 4.9 dialling problem still there (after you sync you contacts)

4.5 no wifi BT looks like it works but i get a fatal freeze when i connect (s9 headest)

4.9 wifi works good (yet leaves e2 on) and has the same freeze with BT.

4.9 is looking better this morning.... EDIT back to 4.5 for me

THANK YOU FOR RESOLVING THE HARDWARE PROBLEM .... NICE TO HAVE TILT CENSER BACK...

One more step! I like it. Progress is a good sign!
[G1 Android Development] jriley60:
another

Yep no wifi on 4.5 still. as far as i am concerned that is all i need. lol no service in my condo
[G1 Android Development] MengasToyz:
short question: does exchange now work on 4.9???
[G1 Android Development] dpgc213:
hi, read most of this thread. didnt see anyone ask or answer this, does sms popup work on 4.9 or 4.5?

cheers
[G1 Android Development] ratdrsuperstar:
It worked for me on both with no problem
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
Let me know what ya think of the build. I am on the fence still myself.
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
update

bt also freezes phone after calls

the moto s9's voulme controls are the only ones functioning, no play/pause or next/prev...anyone else experiencing these issues
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
4.9 Is Awesome now.

Problems i have seen

1.Camera/Camcorder - Color is weird and upside down.

2.Home Screen - Wont rotate even with keyboard open

3.Email - When you try to compose a new email it forced closed everytime.

4.IM - Why is it there if we have the Google talk app and IM does not even work?

5.Wifi - Works well but leavs the E on the side of it.

6.Rebooting - This is the biggest problem for me it takes way to long to restart,i understand the initial start takes times but when you restart it should not take as long but it even takes longer than the initial start weird.

7.Messaging - Cant send text.

8.Phone - When you end a call android process phone force closed pops up.

9.Sync - Still does not work

Hey have you tried compressing the wallpapers you could bring the size down a lot,if you want i could do it for you,other than these things i stated 4.9 is my favorite now.

Oh the music widget is bada$$! but still buggy :) Great job now bring on 5.0 :cool:
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
Yes, i have the same issues but my volume buttons are not working as well.
[G1 Android Development] wwwhershcom:
am i the only one who cant send or receive mms mssages on the 4.9 build?
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
please see below
[G1 Android Development] :
suggestion/question - i sync'd source from the master branch last night and made an htc_dream targeted cupcake build, camera and camcorder are not inverted and work well, is there a way to merge the camera/camcorder from the dream build into this one? just a thought... so nice that we are so close to a complete working build...
[G1 Android Development] eyesee3:
includes 4.5?
[G1 Android Development] :
what do you thinK???

ALL BUILDS EXCEPT BUILD 3 HAVE WORKING BLUETOOTH AND WIFI! VERY BIG THANKS TO dream_kill FOR ALL HIS AWESOME WORK!
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
Send a PM or Twitter to Haykuro, It could be that he could use the code from your build.
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
unless haykuro updated again today, 4.5 doesn't have wifi working..
