oh ok i get it now thanx
[G1 Android Development] carlosjcar:
Can't we edit vold.conf to gets apps on sd or isther more to it than that

:confused:
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
Sure, if you tell me how to tell vold.conf to mount my card, I would love to do it. vold is a new method for mounting and there is VERY little information about it. What info is available seems to differ from the one we have.

Here is what is currently in the file:

## vold configuration file for Sapphire

volume_sdcard {
## This is the direct uevent device path to the SD slot on the device
media_path /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc1
emu_media_path /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0/mmc_host/mmc0
media_type mmc
mount_point /sdcard
ums_path /devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0
}

I tried adding:

volume_apps {
## This is the direct uevent device path to the SD slot on the device
media_path /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
media_type mmc
mount_point /system/sd
}

with no luck. And yes, I tried doing the media_path in the same format as the first one, which also did nothing.
[G1 Android Development] dixxa:
that's normal darkrift If you Wanna mount at start you must recompile the kernel with the module in it or try to find an autoload configuration file
[G1 Android Development] Pinesal:
Sorry to be off topic but what the heck is this?
[G1 Android Development] dixxa:
don't mind don't mind xD

short question:

in 4.5 exchange is not supported, but googlesync.

in 4.9 it is, but it is not working (had it on my G1 and it was not creating an account) and googlesync is also not working, right?
[G1 Android Development] dixxa:
google sync work...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3549200&postcount=875
[G1 Android Development] brasax:
I was not able to find any sync-options for google. there was only the exchange in there, so has it changed since tuesday? Or did I missed something out?
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
now im tempted to try the 4.5.. didnt try it before only the 4.9...
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
I'm finding 4.5 the best choice if you want a working phone.

[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
so the 4.5 has root now ?

and im reading the differences..
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
this would be great if the camera wasnt inverted and the colors were off... but def a plus... come on cupcake.. i smell ya cookin
[G1 Android Development] PAO1908:
Installed latest 4.5, works very nice.

Google contacts & calendar sync worked without any issue, task manager for root user works also without any problems.

Tried to capture some screenshots with the Screenshot application, I got an error "screenshot.raw" file not found..

Does anyone know how to fix this ? Or is there another way to take some screenshots ?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
and does the usb headset work on 4.5 ???

if it does i might test it all day today when im at work
[G1 Android Development] PAO1908:
doesnt work, tested it.
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
thats the only thing keeping me from trying the 4.5.. i need my headphones to work when im at work... my g1 is my mp3 player... lol
[G1 Android Development] YoungAceAtlanta:
Everydau phone useage

If you really want to install one of these builds and use your g1 on a daily then i say use build 4.5 it has all google apps with sync and root works and also have wifi. 4.9 is the htc build with no google apps just gmail and not as stable at all as 4.5 is. but i think everyone should wait to theres a final release because these builds are getting updated everyday and i know u dont want to flash your phone everyday.
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
I had a Tmobile Wing - I use to flash my wing every day or every other day testing out roms.. so its not a big deal to me.. but when im at work i listen to music while working on the pc ( stupid people at work messed it up for everyone when they wanted to listen to music on the pc without headphones and Verizon said no more music on the pc's bring your mp3 or ipod or use your phones mp3 player ). so im stuck right now.
[G1 Android Development] YoungAceAtlanta:
Pretty much all these roms got bugs. none of them is perfect. its like you want a pretty rom but u gotta give up your google apps. but u want your google apps but got to give up your pretty rom. when i say pretty i mean a reallly stable rom n that is the 3.0 build. but it got noting at all just HTC apps. and you got to sync with exchange that alot has been posting dont work at all.

EDIT:

Yeah some people can update they g1s on a daily but just was talking to those that is not by a pc alot and dont feel like flashing this and that everyday.
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
I have the update process down to a fine art. Takes me 30 mins max to update daily (I do it at work so would be even quicker at home).
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
What would be perfect would be the looks of the 4.9 rom with google apps ( forget that exchange stuff - reminds me of windows mobile ). and since the G1 has been out, most of us have converted to gmail or began using gmail more often anyway so who needs exchange... if u need it forward your mail to gmail...
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
Personally I can live without exchange support, but it would be a nice extra to have my company calender on my phone. Also this would be a major selling point to the corparate world, which would benifit all users in the end.
[G1 Android Development] brasax:
in 4.5 there is no "/" on the keyboard, so the terminal is useless for me.

Also Gscript is not working at all..

Went back to JF..
[G1 Android Development] reuthermonkey:
What's your radio baseband version? You don't need the radio update if it's 2.22.19.23. You already have the latest radio, then.

Way too many people are trying to install the radio update who already have it.

Ok... the lack of "/" is very well documented.
[G1 Android Development] reuthermonkey:
The exchange support is very important, and anyone who's using exchange for work definitely won't be forwarding to gmail for 2 reasons: simplicity, and security.
[G1 Android Development] smuvman:
same here

lol i thought i was the only obssesed g1 owner
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
I wouldn't count myself as obsesive. It's just that each days build has had improvements that are worth getting.
[G1 Android Development] smuvman:
would or? lol

same here but after trying 4.5 and 4.0 i've gone back to jf lite rc33 1.42. i use my bluetooth all day so i cant have the phone freezing up on me. to be honest other than the cosmetic aspect i didnt see too much of a difference. ie (browser speed was the same, phone responded just as quick)i dont have 3g in my area (connecticut) so maybe thats why but i definately liked the look of it. all i need is stereo bluetooth to work and i'll convert gladly! the onboard keyboard seems more like a nuisance to me as far as the browser is concerned. i love chomp sms though so thats weird. this is just MY opinion so dont bite my head off lol anyway cant wait for magic 5.0 OR cupcake! THANKS HAYKURO! aka "The Magic Man" now u see him, now u dont!
[G1 Android Development] giggsey:
I've let to do a wipe when upgrading.

I upgraded from JF RC9 to the v4.5 build, then the updated v4.5 build last night, and haven't wiped or anything. I've had no problems with it either. I hope my good luck doesn't run out :P
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
Do you have much on you phone in the way of apps or contacts? Most people have had some sort of issue if they don't wipe.
[G1 Android Development] MERKJONES:
I wrote a quick batch to install all of your files - which I've used with every build so far. Say you back your aps up with Astro, plug your phone in and copy them off your SD Card to some folder like C:\BackupApps\ (assuming you're on windows). If you have adb.exe and AdbWinApi.dll, copy them to your C:\Windows\System32 folder. If not, you'll need the Android SDK.

Now all you'd have to do is this:

for %%f in ("C:\BackupApps\*.apk") do adb install "%%f"

Paste that in a txt file and Save As... a install_apps.bat. It takes all of about 30 seconds to re-install all of your backed up apps. Some will not install, but this will get a good sized amount of them.

And you don't necessarily have to copy your backups off of the SD card, you can change the C:\BackupApps to whatever you want. Make sure you maintain all the quotes.
[G1 Android Development] brasax:
Funny guy.. I was reading all 130 pages, but sorry, I´m not able to remember everything.. Checked also your sig, but I didn´t find anything about the missing "/". Never mind..

BTW in your link-page there are missing infos, like, in which version exchange is working etc.. ;) But at all, thanks for the effort! ;)
[G1 Android Development] reuthermonkey:
Both are in there, although I could probably make them more clear:

"There are 2 build-lines: HTC's firmware line (4.0, 4.9), and Google's Firmware line (4.5).

Native Exchange 2003/2007 support in the HTC builds."

and

"http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3546313&postcount=748 <-no backslash on hard kb"

I'm clarifying those now, though.
[G1 Android Development] Minker17:
I just hope to God the working version makes it into the final build.
[G1 Android Development] brianb7590:
Thanks that looks great man.
[G1 Android Development] MERKJONES:
No doubt.

I forgot to mention you have to run that batch when you're done with it. It will show a bunch of goodies on screen in a command window, and then disappear when completed. You will see errors with some applications not being able to install, thats normal because MAGIC is a bit different than DREAM. So there ya go. If you need some help with nandroid let me know, there is a good article on here that I posted, but it's wordy - I can simplify it so you get exactly what you need without having to read between the lines. Nandroid is a wonderful application. I have my RC33 all setup nicely, and make a backup (nowadays with all the switching between Magic / RC33) so I can switch back flawlessly. Only thing that is suggested is running the radio update when you finish flashing back.
[G1 Android Development] eyesee3:
this works Perfectly!
[G1 Android Development] giggsey:
Contacts are all on Google, and I have a few apps, but not that many I actually use. But I've had no issues needing a wipe yet, maybe I will with 5.0, but ahh well, can only be expected with this sort of development ^_^
[G1 Android Development] Obsidiandesire:
One build (I can't remember which) actually started syncing my paid apps (Prime being the one in my case), it failed, but it looks pretty good for the future.

I'd love for google (or htc) to sync your settings, that's the only thing left that stops us from not caring about wiping our phone!
[G1 Android Development] mattalter:
Status of camera

What is the status of the camera in build 4.5 being fixed. Right now its inverted and colors are off.

haykuro, way to go. Nice builds and great documentation. Keep up the good work, but don't pass up school just to keep these builds going!!
[G1 Android Development] short/y:
This is a bit off-topic but I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents on this particular tangent.

I've tried converting from Exchange to GMail and find have problems with Google's Calendar, their lack of an integrated Task/To Do manager and a horribly imperfect import process. I'm not saying Google's stuff isn't good, it's just that I've got years invested in my Outlook contacts, calendar and task list and moving to something else just isn't practical using any of the current methods. I'm limping along with Touchdown, web access to my Exchange account and the existing Google services. There's too much value in my Exchange-based information to give it up entirely.
[G1 Android Development] andrews240:
I just wanted to let you know that this worked.

I found out that even using Mybackup to restore your contacts causes the phone app crash. I also found that if you have the dialer open, and the "double tap to unlock" dialog is visible, the phone app don't crash when ending the call. I know, crazy right.
[G1 Android Development] pixel-painter:
There is a / in the vk :)
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
yeah it is a good selling point to corporate world, but its good as an option or included with google apps, but google and MS cant see eye to eye completely yet.

true, but make it an option

yes its only in the VK that the symbols work, the hard keyboard is guess what your pressing .
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
If you are using mybackup to restore contacts while google is still syncing then you are trying to do 2 mutually exclusive things at once. Google is trying to transfer contacts from the server to your phone, Mybackup deletes all contacts on you phone then writes its backed up set. This will obviously cause the phone to get confused and therefore crash.
[G1 Android Development] brianb7590:
oh yeah, I use Nandroid regularly, to go between rc33 and 4.5.
[G1 Android Development] pixel-painter:
Thanks.. A useful little script.

Unfortunately with all the apps I have installed on the SD card....... I would most likely run out of room on the phone long before it was finished installing lol ;)

Looks like I am going to have to slim down my apps until a fix for mounting SD ext2 partition is released :p

BTW... (no offense please .. just my opinion :) ) it might be easier to add the path of your directory holding adb and fastboot to your environment path in windows..... this way you don't have to move them over to system32 :D This is what I have done and it works great for me.
[G1 Android Development] funbacon:
I think we should discuss about modding new FW to run application from sdcard.
[G1 Android Development] pixel-painter:
Some postings on this a few pages back :)
[G1 Android Development] MERKJONES:
Of course, but I think it's easier to explain "copy files to system32" than walking someone thru changing env. variables in windows (for all versions at that).

But yeah, you'll for sure run out of space unless you symlink everything to install on sdcard beforehand (or whatever you did to get it there in the first place).
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
exchange support

Just a quick note for those needing exchange support. Roadsync have just put a free app on the market. Have tried it and it works.
[G1 Android Development] funbacon:
I hope someone can mod new FW to run app from an FAT32 partition, not EXT2. It will be awesome !!!!!!!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] tekthebeast:
Hey I was just wondering if anyone is getting the same problem as me, when I ttry to put a symbol from the keyboard the slide out keyboard its a different symbol shown than the keyboard..

Oh yeah, its been happening since page 1, haha. Try searching. Or you could read this

[G1 Android Development] pixel-painter:
Not a bad idea :D I think I will post a mini-tut on this as I am sure many people will find it useful to use adb and fastboot from any directory in a dos window.

Can't symlink anything right now since (as I understand it) 4.xx can't mount ext2 atm :'(
[G1 Android Development] jawash22:
Where do I put the a install_apps.bat file?
[G1 Android Development] inpherno3:
use the vk for the special characters
[G1 Android Development] MERKJONES:
Anywhere. As long as you have adb.exe and the dll file in C:\Windows\System32 - you'll be fine. I have mine in my folder so I can just roll in my apps folder and double click it. To make sure it's working just goto Start > Run type CMD and hit enter. Type adb.exe and you should see like:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6002]
Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Users\MERKJONES>adb
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.20

And a bunch of other stuff in there. If not, you'll have to make sure you copied the adb files properly over. Uhm..... I think that should be about it ;)
[G1 Android Development] brasax:
I know, but in the Terminal is the keyboard not working. Also copy&paste not possible in the Terminal.. ;)
[G1 Android Development] a1t:
I tried citing you batch earlier in this thread. I couldnt remember where i got it around here. Thanks dude, it works great.
[G1 Android Development] MERKJONES:
Awesome! Haha, glad I could use my old ass MS-DOS skills for some good. I looked at that batch thread, and that guy's script is so long... :eek:
[G1 Android Development] YoungAceAtlanta:
Why just to read about these roms you got to search thru almost 2000 post on one thread. i think they should be 2 threads one for Q&A and this just for him to post the roms. and i know alot of other people started q&a threads but thats the point its 2 many. guess we just gotta search.
[G1 Android Development] pixel-painter:
OK So if anyone wants Here is a link to a mini-tut I put up on how to add adb and fastboot directory to your Environment path. This will allow you to use them like a DOS command in any directory of a command prompt window.
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
Its looking more and more like 4.9 will be the build that wins the vote. Many are wanting 4.5 due to it being stable. Wouldt 4.9 not become just as stable if Haykuro (and friends) give it their full attention? 4.9 has my vote.
[G1 Android Development] got23hops:
for me, it will have to, in order for me to switch over. I am on 4.5, and it hasn't really given me any problems at all. in 4.9 is able to get to the point that 4.5 is at, then i will consider it. until then, 4.5 is it for me.
[G1 Android Development] brianb7590:
I feel the same way, I don't want to sacrifice functionality for some eye-candy.
[G1 Android Development] :
i agree...been running 4.5 and its by far the more stable and usable... i would love to have the lock screen from 4.9 on 4.5 but aside from that 4.5 rocks
[G1 Android Development] andrews240:
I am, obviously, not trying to do both. I was trying to find a way to login to google without syncing contacts, to avoid the phone app crashing problem. Brian suggested that I login, and then disable sync groups, which I did. After disabling sync groups, and testing that the phone app did not crash, I restored my contacts with Mybackup. After the restore process was done, upon making a test call, the phone app started to crash again.

So, my point was, that restoring your apps with Mybackup has the same effect as syncing contacts with google; the phone app will crash. Fun!
[G1 Android Development] Minker17:
Haykuro, will 5.0 have exchange at all?
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
you ask this question in the Vote for magic thread.

only gotta ask it in once play yoo...:rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] salamandar:
Just wanted to report that I have 4.5 (from late last night) installed, having similar radio issues (but i may have a wonky phone, replacement on the way) but otherwise it is very stable (aside from previous known issues).

I am happy to report that blue tooth stereo was functional for a short time in my car successfully streaming music before it crashed. I am very impressed Steve, this is the one feature that i desperately wanted from Tmobile, it was promised at launch, and tech support back tracked saying the hard ware would never support it. HAH!

You Go Boy!

Nice work, I continue to be impressed.

Donation forthcoming,

-Salamandar
[G1 Android Development] pixel-painter:
Gotta agree :) I have tried both and find that 4.5 is far more stable for me.

Edit.....

Doh... it's a moot point now as Haykuro just posted that he will be moving forward with development of 4.9, but will continue development of 4.5 at a lower priority.
[G1 Android Development] Minker17:
I asked in both because I've been wondering for a while. I even PM'd a couple of days ago and never heard anything.
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
4.9 won the vote. I'm all for a stable 4.5/5.0 build!
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
Although I have not tried any of these versions, my opinion is that some people voted for 4.9 just because it's a "higher" version number, therefore it "must be better".

From all my reading in this thread, I agree with you...4.5 would be the choice.
[G1 Android Development] doooshty:
browser

I never used the stock browser on rc33, but are the double tap features in the browser new. I mainly used steel so idk if this is new or not. Lol
[G1 Android Development] dirr:
didn't you just say a few posts back that your vote was for 4.9?
[G1 Android Development] santaninja:
as you haven't tried them both you cant say 4.5 your being like the people saying its a higher firmware number,

i have tried them both for one day each and i had less problems with 4.9 then rc33 but 4.9 is so much nicer then 4.5 that is why it won
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
i wonder in the final build if he can use the htc magic build and port the zoom clock for the brower / maps / picture for the zoom feature

its feature in the htc magic review videos for vodafone.
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
Fair enough, you have tried both of them. That's why I said that I haven't and my opinion (more of an assumption) was that some people picked 4.9 as a higher version...nothing else :p
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
I've used both too.

I personally wish the HTC keyboard could be ported to 4.5 if nothing else...and the camera of course.

I wonder if the source code for the zoom where is out though...cause if so...we need that in our lives.

We can call it Haykuro and Co's frankenbuild 1.0
[G1 Android Development] darico18:
so does anyone know if they are working on apps on sd so we can use apps that we have store on the sd card
[G1 Android Development] jriley60:
yes but he also said he could port the look of 4.9 to 4.5 so my guess is there were alot of votes from people that have no clue what they are talking about. look through the 1 billion how do i do this posts and you'll see what i mean. i've tried all 4 and 4.5 is absolutely the most stable
[G1 Android Development] dirr:
certainly makes you question the role of democracy, doesn't it?
[G1 Android Development] pixel-painter:
It seems that the question boils down to whether one is more interested in eye candy or stability :confused:

Personally I uses my phone for too much to always be concerned that it is going to crash in the middle of an operation. For me (And I have tried both of them ;)) 4.5 is more stable and I don't really have any problems with crashing as I do with 4.9 :p
[G1 Android Development] jriley60:
in all honesty i don't mind that 4.9 won even though i voted for 4.5. i am happy with the way 4.5 is now as i don't use my camera or bluetooth lol. so i will roll with this until 5.0 is usable which ever branch it comes from... either way haykuro is incredible i'm 25 and wish i had half the brain in my head that he does in his.
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
I am assuming that which ever version is the winner it will be stable at the end, so why dont we go for the prettier?;)
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
This is what I based my opinion/assumption on, but didn't want anyone to get riled up.
