Linda lets me rename files. I also updated 4.9 over edge. No problems.
[G1 Android Development] naars90:
sooo...to rename it I would do...

$ su

# mv saphire radio build.zip update.zip ?

sorry being such an ignoramus but i know diddly squat about linux...just learning as i go along and this site and you guys have been very helpful...
[G1 Android Development] :
you dont need su

you should just be able to use the mv (move) command.
[G1 Android Development] naars90:
k....thanks a lot and also to the previous posters thank you too
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
There is no new radio update newer than the one provided on the front page (or on the blog).

Build 4.0.1 came with a radio update that was exactly the same (down to the last byte) as the previous radio i provided since the release of 4.0.
[G1 Android Development] wwwhershcom:
another feature i found that no one mentioned is that videos can be paused and continued, and there is no longer a need for a video player app.
[G1 Android Development] NiN39Z:
I have the same radio problems. I hope its the network and not the radio included with the roms.
[G1 Android Development] yellowmegaman:
plz!!!

PLEASE!!can be htc touch input keyboard added to 4.5 rom both with russian locale???
[G1 Android Development] NiN39Z:
I am trying this build out for you. I will let you kno the results in a few!
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
My arms are shaking how much I want to try this, but my wife will kill me if I do -- I just spend too much time with my phone these days :)

Maybe later...
[G1 Android Development] DDM123:
I'm having trouble downgrading the phone. A wipe + install of JF's RC33 made it hang on the G1 boot screen. So I tried going all the way back to RC29, then rooting the phone again and going to JF's RC33 (1.41). I'm stuck again on the T-Mobile G1" boot screen.

I can go back to the new Magic ports, and I can run RC29 just fine. Go figure. I'm going to try the whole thing just one more time before I learn how to do a nandroid recovery.

EDIT: Nevermind. Going from RC29 -> RC30 -> JF 1.41 works ok
[G1 Android Development] borodin1:
I wasn't going to ask for it (since Haykuro has many waay more important things to deal with) but since someone else did....

Please please please:D:D:D

please wipe before installing.

report back if you can install paid apps without any problems.

THIS IS JUST 4.9 WITH A DIFFERENT BUILD.PROP, PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS BUILD AS YOUR OFFICIAL BUILD UNTIL PEOPLE ARE DONE TESTING IT.

I'm sorry to report HAYKURO, that it doesnt let you download paid apps :(

Hopefully, you will figure it out till then, we will wait. I have one question for you, Will you be able in the builds when u get a chance to remove the IM app since you extracted google talk? I dont use the other IMs cause it sucks and I use HELLO AIM & YAHOO instead.
[G1 Android Development] jesseowen:
Sometimes when switching from a dev rom to one that is stock (or meant to look like stock) it takes a little time for the market to recognize that the phone is no longer a dev phone. You might want to wait a while and try again...
[G1 Android Development] bofslime:
Did you flash your radio back first before rolling back the firmware?
[G1 Android Development] Rickster08:
I have had 4.9 build for a while but still cannot send MMS messages...I can receive them....is their a fix yet....??
[G1 Android Development] kundica:
The radio update provided on the site reads "Sapphire (RC33)". I used it to update to when I loaded 4.5 the other day and it worked fine. I just thought I'd point that out since it might be confusing to some.

Also, I tested the HTC radio Korndub posted yesterday for a while and didn't have any issues with it. Whether its exactly the same as the original posted radio or not, I don't know. I just know that it was solid.

I thought 4.5 now had root, am I wrong? I ask because I read a post sometime yesterday from someone that stated the were able to tether with 4.5. When I try to use my tether app, it says that I need root. Unfortunately, this is the only thing keeping me from using 4.5 as a daily.
[G1 Android Development] NiN39Z:
No... thats not true because i switched from 4.5 to JC's roms and i can download paid apps instantly. Its just doesn't work.
[G1 Android Development] wwwhershcom:
i can send now with no problem on wifi, not sure about 3g and edge.

Someone was asking about running Magic on their emulator:

[android-beginners] Re: Vodafone HTC Magic skin now available for Android Emulator!

jimbo

Tue, 17 Feb 2009 21:40:51 -0800

Looks great. Thanks!

One catch - using the eclipse plug-in for Android development:

[2009-02-17 21:16:42 - Emulator] failed to load image file

'[PATH_TO_YOUR_SKIN_DIRECTORY]//background.png'

background.png is actually named background.PNG. Changing the file

extension from .PNG to .png got it working just fine.

Once again, nice looking skin.

[G1 Android Development] blakedunc235:
If you guys don't mind me asking what are he differences between 4.0 and 4.01. I searched but I couldn't find anything
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
It has root, just not the extras (busybox) that JF roms have. Everyone has become used to thinking of JF and root as the same thing. Haykuro is working on getting busybox and the rest of the goodies put in.
[G1 Android Development] dissonance:
Virtually nothing other than aesthetic updates.
[G1 Android Development] :
go back about 10 to 15 pages and you will find your answer.
[G1 Android Development] mrcrb:
Hi haykuro,

it worked with a paid app which didn't work yesterday with 4.9 or 4.5. This morning I had JF 1.43 RC9 again and re-installed the paid app.

10 minutes ago I flashed the 4.9 from your given link and installed the paid app from the market without any problems (no "download unsuccessful" or something like that) :)
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
Paid apps are working now in all builds (i'm uploading the builds now)

Please note:

The new builds are exactly as before, just a different build.prop. No other fixes are present.

The build.prop needed to match the one from RC33 for the market to not think we're on a developer build ;)

This means that if you go to Settings -> About Phone it will report:

Firmware Version: 1.1
Build Number: kila-user 1.1 PLAT-RC33 126986 ota-rel-keys, release-keys

This is normal, this is just a side affect of having the new build.prop.

Everything else should function as before.
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
Thanks for this and all your previous work, whats next?
[G1 Android Development] maydaysos:
I have 4.9, and I don't have root anymore. I installed terminal but I don't get supperuser p
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
So was the audio problem simply linked to BT? or is there still an issue?
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
Which audio problem?

I've been using bt for 3 days without any problems.

If you bt headset is connected the phone call routes there.

If it's off it works through the headset.
[G1 Android Development] tokyomonster:
Can you post just the build.prop from the new builds? I'm staying on 4.5(before the camera and audio fix) because it appears to be more stable for me, yet I'd like to have the ability for paid apps.

Thanks a ton!
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
I thought that if one used the camera/video that incoming/outgoing calls had no audio? Maybe I missed something...:confused:
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
I have just flashed 4.9 and I can confirm that I could download every single one of my paid apps.

Haykuro, you're GOD :)

When is 4.5 with the apps fix going to be ready? Can't wait...
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
No you didn't. I forgot about that problem cause I never updated to the newer rom with working camera.

I'm still on 4.5 with apps to sd (Hoping to update with this new build.prop now)

My bad....I got nothing about the audio issue and the phone. I think he's still working on stabilising that fix.
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
a fix for this is still pending.
[G1 Android Development] maydaysos:
Ok heres a little mote detail about the problem i was having. I got the terminal reinstalled. I get the # when i type su. But all my commands are not premitted. I tell it to reboot not permitted. I till it to change directory and nothing happens. Did i do something wrong.
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
paid apps fixed builds are on the blog, and on the first post of this thread.

this does not fix the audio problem. i'm still resolving it.

for those of you who want to remain on the previous builds (prior the camera fix) you can just grab the /system/build.prop and plop it into your G1. not sure if the build.prop is read each boot, or if you need to reflash, someone let me know and i'll accommodate for you.
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
Cheers, hows it going with the audio issue?
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
looking pretty glum.. :(

not sure what the problem could be, but the device is finally crapping out from the tweaks :o

i've flashed at least 30 builds so far and only one came close to a fix but the audio came out distorted. :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] Rickster08:
Haykuro...just downloaded the new 4.9 released but noticed "H" is no longer there but 3G..... is it about the same speed as 3g?
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
Would i be right in saying you are using a recent cupcake build as the source for this fix? Do you know if sound/camera had the issue on the build and so it might not be anything to do with your work?
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
correct ;)
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
and the second part of my question?
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
I'm not sure as i haven't run the build (and i can't, not this week at least). :(
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
Am I missing something or is my device just magically working, but I have no audio issues.

Unless you mean some BT audio issue rather than the one where audio disappears when you take picture.
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
copying build.prop to the older versions work.

I'm running sd to app 4.5 without audio fix and now I have paid protected apps.

You need to make sure to wipe first.

One thing I did notice is that autorotate stopped working after I wiped and copied build.prop.

Not sure why, it was working before. Its not a big deal for me because I personally hate autorotate, but others may not like it.

Can anybody confirm that this is also happening to them?
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
yep, audio dissapeaering after capturing image/video. needs to be fixed D:
[G1 Android Development] maydaysos:
so i take it im the only one with root issues.

Does everybody else with 4.9 have access to root and can run commands from the terminal?:confused:
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
Im PMing Korndub as we speak, don't know how much he tested it out before informing you.
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
No, what this means is that iff you have the latest builds of 4.5 or 4.9 and you use the video camera or audio player, then you get a call, you will here nothing and the caller will not here you.

Are you saying you do not have this problem?
[G1 Android Development] d00m:
Someone mentioned earlier that maybe disabling the shutter sound would fix the problem. Anyone tried this or maybe just deleting the ogg file?
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
Well, I was playing with the camera all day and also called several times with no problems. Or is it only if you get a call rather than call yourself?

I'll go flash the latest build and then test it out right away.
[G1 Android Development] unthinkablehero:
Just wanted to say awesome work on this stuff guys. I love this forum.

I flashed my G1 from JF 1.42 to Haykuro's and gang's 4.5. Nandroid backup and then wipe. Flahsed the 4.5 and was having issues with the radio. Flashed with the radio after reading for awhile and now everything seems to be working fine... no issues. However, IM app isn't working. Did I miss that somewhere? Sorry if I did. Again, thank you guys so much for even wanting to do this for free and for putting all the time and effort into it. Aces to everyone.
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
STOP

If i understand you right you say you have a recent build of 4.5 or 4.9 and are not getting the problem.

Haykuro, is there some way to get a dump of this phone and would it help in diagnosis of the issue?
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
A little off-topic: it is weird the JesusFreke is quiet about this. I think it would be amazing if he and Haykuro joined forces. Or did I miss something again?
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
Did you see my message, hold off on updating..
[G1 Android Development] maydaysos:
My 4.9 camera/camcorder is working with sound and the calls work with no problem as well. the only problem i have is i cannot run commands from terminal.
[G1 Android Development] Mr. Moe:
I can't run the reboot command on the terminal either. It says "not permitted"
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
OK can anyone else answer this question. Since Haykuro released the Camera/Audio fixed versions of the builds people have been complaining of losing audio in phonecalls after using video/camera or music player, yet we have 2 people here who say they have no issues, would some kind of dump from their phone (ie a nandroid backup) help to diagnose the issue?
[G1 Android Development] tokyomonster:
Hold up though. You can play with the camera and camcorder all you want, you don't lose sound until you actually RECORD video.

Try that. If they still have sound, they're on to something.
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
OK, so can i get excited now.
[G1 Android Development] maydaysos:
sorry did not mean to confuse anybody. i must have done a restart inbetween calls and camera.

The phone sound issue still persist for me after recording video. The phone process still crashes after call is made and there is no sound. Terminal and root are not working as well.

sorry for the confusion.
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
Bugger, thought we had something.:(
[G1 Android Development] smuvman:
astro bug

astro was working funny for me also. i just use linda file manager mainly and only use astro to back up my apps. you can restore apps using linda also.
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
Sorry, I have already updated my phone. I'll go do the testing now.

If there's no problem, that it be because I am using UK version of the phone and as far as I know, the source builds that Haykuro is using are European based?
[G1 Android Development] borodin1:
What about apps that use camera (like barcode scanner, shopsavy, etc), do they cause audio issues as well or is it just stock camera? I think I've took may be 3 pictures since I got my G1 (10/08) so it wouldn't be an issue for me. I do use barcode scanner though pretty often....
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
Excuse my strange question but this thread is moving too fast for me- i have been trying to follow it before i flash 4.5 or 4.9.....

so if you use the camera you lose audio on calls after that until you reboot? So if you don't use camera much and if you do use it you just reboot after it will all work fine?
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
Please change the

ro.build.version.release

in build.prop

to 1.5 instead of 1.1.

Certain apps check that version and do different things.

For example, dxtop checks the release and if it says 1.1 it will try to use the older APIs and will hang under cupcake.
[G1 Android Development] inpherno3:
good catch, make sure you PM hayruko with that information, as yes version calls are used to determine which api to use
[G1 Android Development] jonnybueno:
Auto-Rotate

Anyone have any luck getting auto-rotate to work on 4.5 (protected app enabled)???

I loved the rotation animation on the last 4.5 build, but it doesnt seem to be working anymore.

Any chance you could whip up a quick fix Mr. Haykuro ???
[G1 Android Development] glorfunk:
Don't know if this makes any difference but i'm only experiencing the sound error when i use the camcorder app in 4.9. I can take a picture with the camera app and calls work fine. Phone system still crashes regardless after the call and does not record the call log.
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
yeah I noticed that too.. not sure why, maybe some information in the build.prop
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
so dxtop doesn't work with this port? bugger.... maybe i will wait some more then....
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
It works once you change the release in build.prop to 1.5.

market still works with release as 1.5. Which means I can see paid protected apps. Not sure what fields the market checks for to see if its a dev image or retail image.
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
I'm attempting the change myself.....

Edit 1: Yeah having a version of 1.1 rebroke the market for paid protected apps. I changed the fingerprint too though....(2 fixes never the right way to change things....)

Take 2...just changing the release.

SNAP. Ok...the market check must be embedded here...ro.build.fingerprint. leaving it 1.1 and changing the property you mentioned allowed both the market and dxtop to be happy.
[G1 Android Development] daproy:
haykuro...just curious...

taking a look at a diff before and after the camera/audio update

the fix was replacing the kernel and wlan.ko module with those from Master? How old was the build from?
[G1 Android Development] :
The build that I shared with Haykuro was from 4-3-09 (sync'd from master branch)
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
the master build is actually older than the boot.img we're using. keep in mind i'm using whatever HTC releases (which is at a slightly higher kernel version than the master builds.)
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
autorotate definitely is related to whats in the build.prop.

I nandroid back my old 4.5 image and autorotate works.

Then I just copied the updated build.prop to the old image without any other changes and autorotate stopped working.
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
I'm sorry to have raised false hopes about there being no audio bug on my phone. Now it's just the question if the latest flashing of the phone has introduced the bug ot if it has been there before. But I guess we'll never know.

Though I am pretty sure I have not restarted my phone during the day between using camera to film stuff and calling my wife.

Anyway, I can confirm that with paid apps fix came auto-rotation bug -- it just does not work any more.

Also, not sure if this would make any difference, but since I'm in the UK, would it be possible to have a version of build.prop that identifies itself as RC9 rather than RC33?
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
So change 1.1 back to 1.5 and leave it at that? do paid apps still work if it reports 1.5?
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
adb pull /system/build.prop

modify however you'd like

adb remount
adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
adb shell reboot

enjoy. ;)
[G1 Android Development] kevev:
haykuro, I dont know if anyone else has reported this or not. I have noticed an aditional audio issue in 4.5 . When in a call, the audio cant be adjusted all the way down. It stop right before last steping. The call audio is so lound it sounds like I have it on speaker phone, and I am sure the audio is coming out of the earpiece before anyone asks. It hurts the ear. I have reflashed twice and issue still exists. Anyone else have this?

Also, I have good news. Meebo IM has been running all day and no disconnects. It looks like a combination of the new radio and 4.5 because I have tried the new radio with JF 1.43 and 4.5 with the old radio. Both setups had disconnects and Meebo IM crashes during long calls and trips on the elevator @ work. I went up and down elevator all day and made long calls without Meebo IM disconnecting at all. This made my day! :)
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
Yep I sent you a pm. I was able to uninstall/reinstall Snap Photo Pro and it ran with the change I made. Too bad SPP doesn't work with cupcake yet.

Contact me via aim or my gtalk (benji.hertel) if you wanna discuss it off forum.
[G1 Android Development] kundica:
Thanks for the clarification. I have some linux knowledge, but been so busy that I haven't had a chance mess around with my phone too much. The extent of my experience comes from reading this thread and rooting my 2 week old phone.

On another note. I've done some looking around for info on the following question but haven't found much. I would like to use my nandroid backups to restore, but I'm currently working from OS X. Anyone have any experience with this? A point in the right direction is greatly appreciated.
[G1 Android Development] rantrav:

[G1 Android Development] rantrav:
Mine doesnt even work at all...??....
[G1 Android Development] blakestimac:
created a new playlist, and then added it to my desktop, thats all. the onle thing made made me think to try to play it is because the widget now saysselected playlist is empty, and before it said nothing. pressed play and boys noiize.
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
assuming you have sd card in with music on.

open music player

start playing a track. pause it

go to any home screen

put music widget on screen.

should play track you were playing.
[G1 Android Development] n19htmare:
has anyone reverted back.... i'm trying to figure it out but I have vista 64 bit.... what drivers do I use? Same one from ADB that's from android?

ummm help.
[G1 Android Development] n8izzle:
well i just figured out that the accelerometer is disabled and that is why we are not able to use the automatic rotate.. i figured it out in a very technical way.. (by playing bejeweled and changed the settings to accelerometer mode lmao :D) ok corny.. just wanted you all to know..

whoops not bejeweled i meant droid breakout.. lol just playing my games trying to pass up time 'til he gets here... I wander how long it will take for him to finish it???
[G1 Android Development] Obsidiandesire:
I kinda guessed that anyway :P

Wouldn't an easier version be by using something such as the spirit level?

Enabling accelerometer shouldn't be hard to do, the magic certainly has one.

Well it's 9:06 EST, he should be walking through the door any minute :P
[G1 Android Development] n19htmare:
lol i feel like we've all turned into stalkers
[G1 Android Development] rantrav:
damn are you saying that i should get away from the bushes? haha
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
As for my request for updates on what works and doesnt, it is partially for his benefit. All of the users who are testing stuff are reporting one or 2 little things at a time. If we could get them in a constantly updating post, he will be more able to see what needs work on when he gets home, and less posts about "does xxxxxx work for you?". I personally will wait till it is closer to being finished, but the info will still be useful.
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
have just done a full restore of my phone from my pre magic nandroid backups. All is well. so I'm going to reinstall Magic.
