So i'm trying to move over my browser apk and when i type in cp /system/app/browser.apk /sdcard

i get "cannot stat '/system/app/browser.apk no suck file or directory"

any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Noooo, I love the G build. The only thing that isn't so great about it is the fact that the market doesn't work. Maybe you can work with DudeofLife to fix the broken parts in his build(wifi, exchange, busybox, etc)? Then from there he could take over the G builds? IDK, to me the G builds seem sooooo much faster and smoother overall.
[G1 Android Development] Nikeem24:
Is it better to put both the apps and cache to the SD? I just have my apps.:confused:
[G1 Android Development] PoPpiLLs:
I say keep working on the G build too it feels more stable than the H builds I'm still using the G build even though the market does not work because I like the stability and speed.
[G1 Android Development] testing567:
I personally like the G build better but I do think the G build should be disontinued. My reasoning is that the G build is baised off what the official release from Google will be. All haykuro is doing is allowing us to have it early, where as the H build will still stand out as unique.
[G1 Android Development] Jrbourque:
Does anyone know if there is instructions for moving the g browser over to H? I know what commands to type in but getting an error on first command
[G1 Android Development] skiptomylou11:
Agreed.

I was set with the G build before the market issue. It was perfect to me. H just doesn't seem as conventional to me.
[G1 Android Development] Nikeem24:
Yo does anyone know how to fix the scroll menu in the H build. When i turn my device to landscape the scroll menu used to be on the right side, but since i put the H build on there it is at the bottom of the screen now and it is annoying. Any help please. :confused:
[G1 Android Development] harrychern:
I like the H build as well, but I can not use it with AT&T.

mms proxy field would only allow me to enter numbers. I need to enter

wireless.cingular.com
[G1 Android Development] tampabuc2004:
ok i tried searchin but couldnt find help, i tried both the H and G build but both of them arent downloading contacts from the server, can i get some help please
[G1 Android Development] BombaMyte:
Try this for the proxy: 66.209.11.32
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
it is up to you, if it works with out any issue go for it but make sure you move it to ext2 partition, if you already have delvik-cache in ext2 you are fine, since I am always testing diff roms sometimes a just leave the cache in the phone memory.. I use the moveallcachesext2.sh script just in case:)
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
there is a way to fix it but in doing so u cause more problems than its worth...

the HTC build is for the magic and thus doesn't support a landscape homescreen.
[G1 Android Development] Nikeem24:
aw that sucks:eek:
[G1 Android Development] jzerocsk:
Out of curiosity, what would be the point of auto-rotating the home screen? I can't see any real value of doing so. In fact the only reason I ever want the home screen in landscape mode is when they keyboard is open...only because it'd be hard to read sideways! :)
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
I think I just ran into a bug in the 5.0.2r3 H build. I went to download the dude's version and it said I ran out of space. I have about 8.5GB free on my SD card so I was naturally confused and went to check out what was going on. I found that my sdcard had remounted itself as read-only. Strange bug and it was fixed as soon as I restarted my phone(probably could have remounted as read/write but was easier to just restart).
[G1 Android Development] bestwebs:
Hi,

I have been on 5.02H for 3 days.

To fix the landscape problem use open home lite or open home full.

Both work perfect with H.

:)
[G1 Android Development] Nikeem24:
lol its not auto rotate i was talking about. its when the phone is in landscape mode, the little menu you slide up when its in portrait also slides up from the bottom in landscape. It used to slide from the right side of the screen when in landscape.
[G1 Android Development] wootroot:
well i personally use auto rotate of the home screen because with the on screen keyboard ive pretty much done away with using the physical keyboard unless i need to type faster

and having auto rotate of the home screen also means that the rest of time the phone will auto rotate also, including apps, browser, pictures, everything else auto rotates, and that is something i like

[G1 Android Development] reuthermonkey:
i would just put apps on SD. The phone has enough space for caches, imo - and they can take advantage of the faster speed by being on the phone.
[G1 Android Development] jzerocsk:
OH! I see what you mean.

Dunno about the G build but in the H build everything except the home screen rotates. The VK in portrait mode is a little tight, but I so rarely type at the home screen it's no bother...just the occaisional Google search.

I followed the instructions for the browser apk move from g to h and i still dont have zoom? any suggestions?

does anyone get "dark keys" apps to works on 5.0.2Hr3 ?
[G1 Android Development] KyleK29:
Anyone been having problems with T-Mobile's 3.5G/3G service? Recently (with H and full bars), I've been forced into using the 2G service because if I use the 3G it doesn't go anywhere. It tries, but fails to load websites (and data, altogether).

Thinking this is a missing setting. APN?
[G1 Android Development] jaygajay:
Anybody having problems rebooting there phone with Call+Menu+Power. I am trying to reboot the phone but nothing happens. I've tried both 5.0.2Hr3 and 5.0.1Gr3 to no avail.
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
That's one of the bugs on both of those builds. :(
[G1 Android Development] jaygajay:
Ok. Thought it was just me. Was searching but couldn't find anything. Could it be a cupcake bug because I think I also tried it on The Dude's G Build and it didn't work either.
[G1 Android Development] spy_owl2:
I noticed this as you describe starting this morning too - I am on 5.0.2Hr2. If it did connect, the download speed would be slow. It had been working well for me before. Sounds like a network issue with T-Mobile?
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
We find ourselves in interesting times.

1. HTC have changed their servers (posibly due to people mentioning them here) so Haykuro will not be able to get any updated source unless/untill someone finds them.

2. Sapphire/Magic release date anounced today (May 5th) so Update and SDK should happen at the same time if not before to allow people to write compatible apps for the new platform, which we know is not happening yet.

What do you think this means for the future?
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Wait and see? The first would make sense in conjunction with the second. Maybe they took down that server because they are done with the software and don't need to make any more updates?
[G1 Android Development] unrafa:
that is naive.
[G1 Android Development] kylebrodeur:
In response to Haykuro's twitter message:Should we keep the "G" build.

I'd like it to be kept because for 1. we still can get the source from google for new improvements to the OS that haykuro then can build off of. with the HTC build as far as I know of the HTC source is hard to get now.

I think G is more fluent and sticks to the android style a lot better.

But. I do like the Virtual Keyboard from the "H" build a lot more than the android keyboard mainly for its auto text correction and dictionary I think the G build has more stability and all the google apps (minus IM, market) that I use are working fine.

So I'd like the "G" build to be kept but with some of the HTC features built in.

(Virtual Keyboard, camera, and video recorder app.)
[G1 Android Development] omwill422:
+1, and has anyone hit the android dev group on google groups about the market issue?
[G1 Android Development] Nikeem24:
How can I get to Haykuro's twitter?
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
i noticed that with the H version my battery was running down faster....

it's gmail constantly syncing. How do i turn off gmail sync in the H version? I know the G version had a turn off button but can't find anywhere to turn off sync in the H version- in settings in gmail it isnt and in phone settings it isnt there from what i can see anyway.....
[G1 Android Development] Nikeem24:
Ok i dont mean to sound like a noob(and yes I did do a search), I have 5.0.2hr2 aps2sd on my G1 but I want 5.0.2hr3 apps2sd, I dont know how to do the Nan backup thing but would I have to erase everything and have to do the apps to SD and cache to sd crap all over again?

I'm running the lates H build and im having signal issues with the sapphire radio. i went to school today and found i couldnt get a signal inside the buildings. granted it is 100 years old and probly has lead pipes still in it, i couldnt get any signal at all inside the buildings. I use to get a signal before the newest update with the new kernel in it. It was just my phone though. This made my phone pretty much useless all day except for when i was outside. Is anybody else having similar issues.
[G1 Android Development] samysam05:
I'm not getting connection at all. I can only send/receive calls and etc... anything that uses 3G doesn't work. i thought it was something with tmobile.
[G1 Android Development] djnutz:
I could be way off on this. I've searched for an hour trying to find how to get superuser on H. I have H3 installed, SDK 1.1r1, the correct drivers for vista 64 for test mode, and superuser from http://www.koushikdutta.com/2008/11/update-to-superuser.html, and when i run the install.bat it's getting stuck on:

adb push bin/su /system/bin

failed to copy 'bin/su' to '/system/bin/su': Read-only file system.

Any ideas on this. Searched everything I could find but think I'm also limited as I've been running different roms all the time but this is the first time I've ever played with an SDK.

[G1 Android Development] knaries2000:
is anybody still interest in the useragent string fix for 5.0.3H build? I have a browser that has the correct user agent string, bookmark works, and zoom buttons works for the H build. I just got the tip of the android tree from last night and built it from scratch. everything seems to work fine with that browser. Just replace it with the existing Browser.apk. But with the Dude tree, I don't know if anyone is still interested if not I don't want to bother finding a place to upload it.
[G1 Android Development] bestwebs:
Hi,

Yes .

Please post it.

:)
[G1 Android Development] Nikeem24:
IM interested, what all did you fix in it? and yea can you shoot me the .adk?
[G1 Android Development] emms007:
Could you upload it here ? Just compress it as .zip and upload through your message. I don't feel like switching to Dude's so I'd gladly try yours :)
[G1 Android Development] knaries2000:
5.0.3H browser fixed useragent string.

just in case someone is interested in it, its here. browser with fixed useragent string, bookmarks, and zoom... i believe we had a combination of any 2 of those before.

[G1 Android Development] knaries2000:
ok, maybe better putting here. just rename it to Browser.apk
[G1 Android Development] knaries2000:
if you try it, maybe let me know if it works ok. if haykuro doesn't have a fix for this already, maybe he can just use this browser in his next update.

[G1 Android Development] knaries2000:
what happens? no icon? force close?
[G1 Android Development] davidhooper4:
force close sadly.... :[
[G1 Android Development] Gunnygt49:
how do you replace it with the orginal browser.apk?
[G1 Android Development] emms007:
Force close, and a mess to get ride of it (maybe I should have copy/pasted the file instead of adb install)

ps : you should consider removing the file from this forum I definately think
[G1 Android Development] Nikeem24:
Which one do I do?
[G1 Android Development] davidhooper4:
ok well you have to delete the old data in the /data/data before you install the new browser.

for it to work in the H build
[G1 Android Development] knaries2000:
you are not suppose to do adb install... my bad maybe I should have explained it better. You should do

adb remount

adb pull /system/app/Browser.apk <---- in case you want to back up the oldone

adb rm /system/app/Browser.apk

adb push Browser.apk /system/app/

then reboot the phone, although you don't have to, can just remount /system as readonly but safe to just reboot.
[G1 Android Development] knaries2000:
so no one can make it work? i will remove the file then if not.
[G1 Android Development] Jrbourque:
So if i was to try it in the terminal could i just use copy?

cp /sdcard/Browser.apk /system/app

would that work
[G1 Android Development] djnutz:
adb remount - is magical.
[G1 Android Development] emms007:
I reinstalled the original one and manage to make it work by erasing the APK file; I confirm it does work then :) Thanks!

ps : if some one did the same, the original apk is within the H build zip file in /system/app/Browser.apk and this one will install without any glitch :)
[G1 Android Development] knaries2000:
yes, you can use cp in the terminal too, you still have to remount /system as read/write though in the terminal.
[G1 Android Development] davidhooper4:
dont remove it it works perfectly for me you just have to remove the data from the old browser for it to work guys!

not that hard

By doing it in ADB it would be

adb remount
adb pull /system/app/Browser.apk <---- in case you want to back up the oldone
adb rm /system/app/Browser.apk
adb rm /data/data/com.android.browser
adb install Browser.apk

perfect!!!

thats the way i did it and it worked just try it!
[G1 Android Development] djnutz:
worked for me. Thanks for this.
[G1 Android Development] knaries2000:
So I have confirmation that it works? user agent string is ok? and bookmark and zoom works already right? all those work for me.
[G1 Android Development] i9zero:
I am interested! why not upload it to the

Did you ever get it fixed?
[G1 Android Development] Jrbourque:
when i unzipped it on my phone i dont get a browser.apk to be able to install
[G1 Android Development] wizern23:
you were supposed to rename it to browser.apk
[G1 Android Development] SolemnWishing:
lol okay... call me stupid, but im gonna try it anyway. I pulled the phone.apk, key.apk and camera.apk from the H build and im gonna try and install it on JF 1.42, see what will happen...

okay...

phone.apk - installation failed

camera.apk-installation failed

key.apk- installation successful... however touch input is no where to be seen.
[G1 Android Development] tekthebeast:
I say discontinue. I mean Dude is gonna get his build sooner or later to a functional state. I think you should just focus on H build, make it better and yeah. my 2 cents.
[G1 Android Development] Christopher3712:
Sigh...

download his modified browser file (the original .apk or the .zip file) just remember to rename the .zip file to Browser.apk. **FOR EASE OF INSTRUCTION, I WILL ASSUME YOU COPIED THE FILE TO C:\**

clear the data in your browser on your phone

(settings-applications-manage applications-Browser-clear data)

run ADB

adb remount

adb push c:\Browser.apk /system/app/

reboot phone (if it makes you comfortable)

Not necessary to really backup the old Browser, as it is incomplete.

a pretty simple process...
[G1 Android Development] Jrbourque:
I'm when i try to remove it after it mounting im getting "no such file or directory " for some reason
[G1 Android Development] SolemnWishing:
Okay... gonna attempt JF 1.42 mms.apk to Haykuro build H now...
[G1 Android Development] i9zero:
You should be able to use the G build Mms.apk
[G1 Android Development] bestwebs:
Hi,

It works great.

Thanks for the rebuild knaries2000.

Would you want to take a look at the mail.apk issue? :D

The additional pop accounts other than gmail don't send notifications.

I found a build from 03-27-09 that does send notification but it crashes when you start to record video.

I can post them if you want.

Thanks again for the new browser.

:)

nevermind i got it load now, thanks....finally got zoom back

My app drawer is now on the right side of the screen. So now it tells me that there it not enough space for the widgets.

Did I mess up my install? Is there a setting I am missing? Or is there a terminal/adb command I can use to change it to a bottom drawer?

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] q426669:
Just thought to mention, I just updated to the latest version of the H build.

Thanks again!
[G1 Android Development] i9zero:
did you reboot?
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
does anyone know how to turn off gmail sync with H build? it is wasting my battery for something i rarely use..
[G1 Android Development] knaries2000:
I am not that good at hacking apk packages. I still don't know exactly how they are structured. When I get better understand of the apk package, I may look into it.
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
(09:14:26 PM) *removed*: so google really is banning the builds from market
(09:17:18 PM) haykur0: something like that
(09:18:11 PM) *removed*: makes me want to hold off. I dont see why they would do that when its just a revision of their work, which is something theyve been saying they want from day one, they want the user to create wht they want and design the phone their way
(09:19:41 PM) haykur0: lol just use H build, it's better ;P
(09:20:09 PM) *removed*: i havent modded anything yet, just kinda leery that i dotn want ot be banned off market :\ get what i mean
(09:20:17 PM) haykur0: oh no
(09:20:20 PM) haykur0: they're not banning people
(09:20:27 PM) haykur0: lol trust me
(09:20:31 PM) haykur0: i've been flashing back and forth
(09:20:35 PM) haykur0: and have tried 80 downloads on g build
(09:20:38 PM) haykur0: and i'm not banned
(09:20:38 PM) haykur0: :p
(09:21:03 PM) *removed*: oh
(09:21:10 PM) *removed*: so why are people claiming that on xda?
(09:23:55 PM) haykur0: cause they like starting **** ;)

I'm still using the G builds.

However, I've been switching to the H builds whenever I want to d/l something from the market and then flashing back to the G build. I've been doing this dozens of times over the last week and I'm still not banned.

What was the significance of that conversation?
[G1 Android Development] KPeriod:
We now see where Haykuro's allegiance lies:
[G1 Android Development] inportb:
y'know, I agree; I tend to prefer the H series ;p
[G1 Android Development] djdant:
I say keep G, its more stable, and market should be unblock us by the time magic drops! It murders H build
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
ok not seeing the point of this but ok...... I certianly have a blocked ID maybe i wouldnt say banned then but anyone can test it out and see for themself if they wanna that much i no. either way im switched IDs and on the H build i say the hell with google and there blocking/banning. or whatever it is they did.
[G1 Android Development] wizern23:
i say make a hybrid build
[G1 Android Development] Christopher3712:
hahahahahahahaha, funny commentary.
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
no doesnt work for me. think it may be on the list of apps that arent compatible with the 1.5 yet.
[G1 Android Development] bestwebs:
Hi,

I like the H build as well.

Been using it for 4 days now.

Little by little the bugs are getting fixed.

Video recording works great.

We have a fully working browser now. Thanks to knaries2000.

Engish dialer if you want it.

The only remaing issue is the mail.apk does not send notifications for pop accounts other than gmail.

So it is about 98% perfect. :D

Many thanks to Haykuro for all his hard work.

[G1 Android Development] wizern23:
No it's not but i'll put it on there. also if anybody has apps that just upgraded to 2.0 like fbook and twidroid let me know in that thread i want to make sure its not just my phone.
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
Ok dumb question but im gonna ask. it says to just rename it to browser.apk but how do i get it to not show as. browser.apk.zip?
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
did you have issues with twidroid of fbook on the new firmware? i haven't did the update yets for them on mine and there working fine now. Im just gonna hold off if they aren't working.
[G1 Android Development] knaries2000:
are you on windows? you need to change setting on your file explorer to display file extensions.
[G1 Android Development] sandshrimp:
Market App?

Does anyone know where the actual market app is located on the phone and has someone tried to port the H version to G?
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
yes im in vista but cant exactly figure out how to change the settings to reflect that. care to direct me?
[G1 Android Development] bestwebs:
Hi,

Download this file and just change the extension from zip to apk and push it to your phone.

Don't extract it.

It works great.

:)
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
seems simple once i figure out how to change the extension thats the ony minor hiccup. still reads .zip
[G1 Android Development] knaries2000:
if you don't use exchange and don't mind the G build email app, you can actually install that in addition to the H build mail app. the G email app works fine as far as notifications go, it doesn't look as nice though but at least it works.
[G1 Android Development] salamandar:
Saw Dude's post yesterday regarding G build, and thought aww crap here we go....

Sure enough a few hours later "tweet" and Haykuro is asking whether to drop the G build, then i see his preference post...

Wow so Haykuro prefers H, and to be honest I do not agree H is stable enough for day to day.

Kinda tired of the janky sync issue, and the constant battery drain, never had to charge the G build twice a day under heavy usage/or watch the battery actually drains down while its charging using Telenav for directions in my car (WTF?)

The H build is so big your forced to delve into the wonderful world of apps2SD (in and of itself an unstable method for many apps).

Now peeps are suggesting Dude take over G?

Saddened by the blatant buck passing 8(

[G1 Android Development] wizern23:
@userfriendlyme. Yea im on the newest H build and i update twidroid(2.00) right after i got done talking to you about movies on twitter. and after 5 hours of trying fbook(2.0.5) to day when i got home from school. with fbook just yesterday it showed up as 1.0.5 i think. i even tried uninstalling twidroid and restoring from a backup and that didnt work either.

use linda or astro to delete the .zip from the file name. thats what i do with mine.

@sandshrimp. its the vending.apk located in /system/app.
