Just installed H so that I could d/l some apps from the marketplace before flashing back to G.

Overall I still like G better, but the VK on H is great. The biggest thing is its much faster than the vk on G. I notice a slight lag with the G vk (this is with vibrate and sound off) that I don't get with H, which means I can type much faster. The vk also seems to be more accurate for some reason. Maybe its because the keys are white, not sure.

Other than that, I like G for everything else.

Regarding the virtual keyboard. I think both are awesome. I've been practicing all week with it and I've gotten to the point where I'm faster with the vk than the physical keyboard. I never use the physical keyboard anymore.
[G1 Android Development] dbarrett480:
I really hope that G gets fixed. I like it much better than H. Just sayin.
[G1 Android Development] AndroidAutobot:
sweet. thanks! =)

Im trying to update but my phone is just locking up at Opening update package. I dont have time to read 500 pages of freakin nonsense trying to figure this out. Is there something special I need to do other than rename the 5.0.2Gr2 to update.zip and running it from the system recovery?
[G1 Android Development] Razor1973:
God, I've read a lot and I do know how to search, but for the life of me, I can't find that post someone made in some thread explaining how to remove the Chinese characters from the numeric keypad in the dialer. Does anybody have a link to that post? TIA!
[G1 Android Development] Sistum Id:
Music widget is awesome for both builds. Why o why did I have to see this widget. Any way to make it work with aHome, DX, or Open Home?
[G1 Android Development] nolageek:
Wow.

I mean. Wow.
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
Hey would you happen to know what those errors I got while trying to do the nandroid restore mean? ...FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))

I searched, I swear... =)
[G1 Android Development] Ooglez:
Open home has a music widget.

Also: For those of you who can't download on 5.0.1Gr2, I just nandroided back to RC33 and still can't download, so go figure..
[G1 Android Development] bigd5783:
The newest open home build has a music widget.
[G1 Android Development] jsapp:
I think you have to pull the battery out halfway through the process.
[G1 Android Development] question.com:
i guess my SD card crapping out was a good thing. I would have never tried these builds. so far i tried both new versions. Im def feeling the G version more. now to get transcend to send me a new card.
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
c'mon now, no need for that. It's one thing to tell people to search or give them grief for not searching, but it's another to try to make someone crap out their phone.
[G1 Android Development] vettejock99:
Gotta admit - I thought it was freakin' hilarious - and well deserved.
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
I second that. If these people aren't willing to put forth the most minimal effort then they deserve nothing less. I'm a Call center tech manager for a fairly large computer manufacture and the supervisor calls I get called onto where idiots attempt to dual boot or pull out a ram stick with a butter knife just kills my innards.
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
Ok...maybe :D
[G1 Android Development] yungmike12:
This may be a stupid question and I know I am gonna get slayed for this but can someone please tell me how to flash the new radio. I used the search function and search through most of the pages and couldn't find an answer.
[G1 Android Development] bodyman:
save it to your sd card and rename it to "update" without the quotes and turn off you phone and use the hom + power buttons to start the phone in recovery. then alt-s and your done
[G1 Android Development] borodin1:
Download radio from Haykuro's blog, save in the root of your SD and rename to update.zip.

Turn-off your phone.

Start in recovery by pressing Power+Home

ALT+S to update from SD

Follow prompts on the screen

I think you have to reboot couple of times during the process (whenever the phone tells you so) and it will take a long time to start-up next time you start it normally.

Good luck

Edit: Agh.... beat me to it :D
[G1 Android Development] AndroidAutobot:
LOL wow. You're a vicious one aren't you? =)
[G1 Android Development] AndroidAutobot:
Especially w/ that attitude they had too. It's one thing to be apologetic when asking a question that can be found by searching but another to be all *****y about how many pages there are when it's noobs like them who ask without looking that makes it as big as it is in the first place.
[G1 Android Development] Sistum Id:
Okay thanks. I just purchased Open Home and tried it out, bad thing is I'm so used to aHome that I find Open Home unapealling. Maybe Ill just wait until aHome releases and update for a music widget.

So I've tested both the G and H builds. I like like the zoom in and out action when you open and shut the screen on the G build. Any chance for the H build to have an option for how the screen reacts to when you open and shut it?

Also I might of missed it on the H build camera. On the G build it has the on screen button to take a pic and a preview of the last pic. Does H build camera have that?
[G1 Android Development] question.com:
So any one with the g build been able to download apps from the marketplace? I installed the new version. I don't want to go back to the h build. But if I have to...
[G1 Android Development] betawind:
So...I used the built-in forum search, searched the android development forum and searched for "remove chinese characters" and it was the first of two hits I got :) Here ya go:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=503630&highlight=remove+chinese+characters
[G1 Android Development] i9zero:
I think the problem is still there. Now people are reporting that the build is showing as unknown instead of Magic.

If you download and try often in market, you should stick with your H build or wait until Friday to see what happens. Since this is just a revision, perhaps the next version will have it fixed. 5.02G and 5.03H ? ( I assume, those are the next version numbers)

I would switch to H build if the following

all the fonts being ported to show all languages (I need to be able to read Korean/Japanese)

I tried searching numerous times in google and in xda but can't find any information on porting the different language to the H build.
[G1 Android Development] dincp:
Why does it seem like I'm the only one that knows how to change the number of posts per page in User CP?

All of these "I'm not reading 500 pages" or the "the thread jumped 50 pages overnight" posts crack me up. Why would you do that to yourself?

This is on page 130 for me. Far less clicking "next page." :D
[G1 Android Development] Razor1973:
Oh, I searched for "Chinese" and tons of threads came up. I went through a lot of them and eventually gave up. Thanks!

By the way, this works like a charm for whoever doesn't care to see those Chinese characters when dialing a number. I didn't.

how to upgrade to a new firmware from an update.zip for G2 without hard keyboard?
[G1 Android Development] wizern23:
For those of you who want to tether pdanet does work. It actually got adb to work right on my computer too so its a double bonus for me.
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
good question....maybe through ADB on the pc its possible. not sure if the steps would be the same. How is the magic by the way
[G1 Android Development] n19htmare:
Where do we stand on tethering with 5.01G?
[G1 Android Development] wizern23:
I think wifi tethering is a no. pdanet works for the usb method and i dont know about thru bluetooth.
[G1 Android Development] youuishype:
well i had a couple of days with G installed, i just switched to H and i like it better so far so its not a problem for me.

can confirm that there's no zoom option in browers with H version.

i have no the two + - lens to zoom
[G1 Android Development] d474rpr:
Reminds me of being 8yrs old with my NES and a game genie sitting up for hours entering random codes to Super Mario World just to see what kinda of screwed up worlds would be made up.

I agree, looks kinda interesting.
[G1 Android Development] d474rpr:
update-- i did some further research and found that this issue is already being handled so forget I said anything. :p

I can help work on this if someone gives me a direction to start... this is a deal breaker for me, must have tethering for my netbook!!! Who else can help tackle this issue?
[G1 Android Development] harry_m:
Report/issue is here:

http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/issues/detail?id=7

I was able to make "Wifi Tether for Root Users" run (5.0.1G) by replacing the kernel (netfilter support is missing - so iptables won't work).

Haykuro need to recompile the kernel (enabling netfilter) ... there is NOTHING I can do!
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
these two articles were interesting especially the CUPCAKE being blocked one

http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/04/15/just-because-its-open-source-doesnt-mean-its-open-google-blocks-cupcake-users-from-android-market/

and also this was just and intereting side note seems all the attention must be getting to google

http://www.mobilewhack.com/android-os-15-ported-to-t-mobile-g1/
[G1 Android Development] xShadoWxDrifTx:
So if we have apps already on sd, from say LucidREM's method

Do I just follow these steps using Haykuro apps to sd?

I would think I don't have to remove the current folders on device do i?

Can I just link the app folder to the device using the ln commands?
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
Yes you do need to do those steps the two steps prior to those listed you dont need to.
[G1 Android Development] tannyfiles:
my browser too does not have the option to zoom in or out....probably its nt there in the H version...this is the only reason i will have to move to G...again...!!!

Hey - I just reverted back to RC33 using nandroid to recover everything. Got an error on the boot.img portion of it, so I'm assuming that would be why I don't have any data connection anymore?

damn... 50+ pages in 2 days, must be a record.. eating popcorn waiting for the finished product... keep up the good work..
[G1 Android Development] Obsidiandesire:
Well he really should be online anytime soon, I have a feeling he's going to pop on, stun us with some amazing build, then pop right off again. Maybe it's the optimist in me :)

I have utter faith in the guy, but I'm curious what the small bug is (that's not allowing closed apps etc), maybe something to do with compiling it for the g1 (though thats unlikely as cupcake builds dont have closed apps)

I'm also curious as to how the boot loop keeps appearing, it's not happened on any JF builds (unless he test them more thoroughly). Apparently it's due to the Radio Interface Layer (RIL) crapping out, which seems like something that'd break when merging the system folders together (His initial build), obviously this is based on the proper version, so I can't see what the problem is now...
[G1 Android Development] TuXeyM11:
Someone has already got all the closed apps working, with wifi, bluetooth, etc.

Only thing not working for this person seems to be StreetView, and the market closes the internet connection. He even fixed the camera/video recorder.

I trust haykuro, I just don't want him giving false hope. I know a lot of people felt let down when he said he would have a fully functioning build yesterday.

I think it's great what he is doing, but don't say things you can't stick to.
[G1 Android Development] :
who has the closed source apps working?

i havent seen it anywhere....
[G1 Android Development] :
anyway, in all reality, this build is very different from the source that we can build ourselves...Disconnect has compiled and built images from source and his 3-16 build has many differences, although all radios are working...
[G1 Android Development] blakestimac:
Random question, is there a way to back up mybackup pro so I could then install that from the apps installer and then restore everything that way? Or is that a nono? I love the build enough to use it as is, but would like to have all my stuff back as well.
[G1 Android Development] TuXeyM11:
There was a youtube video of it in action, and I personally spoke with the creator...

However he was banned by a moderator not too long ago. He is quite a bit further than haykuro in terms of what he has done on it, but I doubt we will ever see it released, cause everyone seems to hate him.

See the 3G/ATT thread.
[G1 Android Development] :
if its a paid app probably not...if you use the freeware one, you can adb push it to the phone...
[G1 Android Development] dilaynie:
I'm seriously appriciating how hard Haykuro is working. After all, he could charge for this build considering no one else is cooking/developing/porting it. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have this at all until T-mobile or Google released it...

Can't wait for him to hop back on and let us know what's going on with his progress. I'm pretty sure everyone is going to be wicked appriciative at the outcome.

Now it's time to be a wicked excited little kid on christmas eve waiting for the grand christmas morning. *crosses fingers it's soon*

Thanks again Haykuro. You're wicked awesome for doin this...
[G1 Android Development] rantrav:
As I mentioned in a previous post...just a thought... There seems to be the same problems with the "cupcake" build on Andblog. So it seems that maybe there is a problem with the 1.5 i don't really know..... did he try this with 1.1 or????....???? I really love this build and hope that he proves me wrong i am starting to miss my used apps

Also we cannot all start to gang up and complain because he ran into some problems and was not able to upload the revised build. This stuff takes time and what has been done in only a few days is a lot of work. So with that said we need to encourage him and knock him down!

I almost hate to say that to see a COMPLETE version we may have to wait until the magic is fully released or the "cupcake" that is said to be released in April is sent out.
[G1 Android Development] mckoy1:
"However he was banned by a moderator not too long ago. He is quite a bit further than haykuro in terms of what he has done on it, but I doubt we will ever see it released, cause everyone seems to hate him."

I don't hate him... bring him back!

BRING HIM BACK!

BRING HIM BACK!

BRING HIM BACK!

[G1 Android Development] :
i think i know who you are referring to, and he got himself banned for his disrespect. but in any event, i wonder if we could use the libs from the cupcake source for the dream and merge it with the saphire system...to get wifi, bluetooth working

yeah i agree i mean ive switched to H already and didnt want to i rather wait to see the improvements and fixes on friday to make it worth doing all over again. the market isn't going anywhere
[G1 Android Development] Gimpymoo:
Yes, the reply was in response to someone saying it may be a Google issue so I reported it was working on stock so they at least knew things were OK at Googles end.

I noticed the code i put it to install apps to sd didn't recover and reinstall all the apps back on the phone

Is there a way to just have everything back on the phone, from RC33 LucidREM's app to sd

Meaning transfering all the apps on the sd linking them back to the phone on the new Haykuro build
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
yes there is theres a link if i can locate it with step by step instructions especially if you already had apps to the sd card with JF all you need to do is a few commands and not all of them to link everything ill search for what i used and post it if i can find it again it was the easiest instruction right from the phone and no adb

ok i tried using the search this thread button about this but it doesn't seem to find it, and i'm not about to search through 500+ pages. But my question is, does anyone know how to turn on and off the syncing for like gmail calendar and contacts?
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
depends on the build u cant turn those off seperately in the H build but can in the G either way its in your SETTINGS and then DATA SYNCRONIZATION for the options your looking for.
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
this is sooo off topic but if anyone of the members in this thread are vista experts could someone twitter me or send me a gtalk at the same username as here. i need some help before i totally smash my laptop after i installed drivers to it for android. much appreciated thanks.
[G1 Android Development] borodin1:
You can force close "home" if you have advanced task manager. It will reset itself in a second or two to it's normal look. I fount out that it does it when you use some resource-heavy app and then comeback to home screen with your keyboard open.
[G1 Android Development] Gunnygt49:
ok well i'm not sure if any of the actual creators will see this, and also not sure if this has been a stated issue, but for dxtop users the calendar and music widget don't work.
[G1 Android Development] Gunnygt49:
also which do you guys believe is the BETTER build H or G? better as is the more practical one to be using, as in things-you-need-to-how-much-space-is-left-on-the-phone ratio. Because as i read somewhere and know from self experience, the H build has less space than the G build.
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
i think the widgets have 2 b altered 2 work on dxtop. the widgets only work on stock home

Haykuro literally live 10 mins up the road from me but its not like i have a way to ask him nor would he probably respond to me anyways.
