Or is it exclusive to the Excalibur?

Im going to be switching to AT&T in a few weeks and also unlockng my Dash. Im moving to an area where T-mo has no service. So it either VZW or AT&T. Im not ready to part with Kavanna and WinMo phones. I really like the look and specs of the Q (so far, havent had a hands on yet). If not Ill probly just get a Bold or a Curve and use the dash whenever.

If you flash a ROM not specifically made for a device you will probably brick it..........

Check MotoQ forums for ROMs :)

[G1 Android Development] wootroot:
Ok, lets start from the beginning. I have a gt that had non-rooted rc33, i downgraded to rc29, rooted it, upgraded to rc30, and now to jf's rc33 1.41, obviously still rooted. Once I got to rc33 1.41 i finished re-installing all the programs i had lost along the way (going to rc29). Then I changed my boot images (splash1 and 2) using fastboot. Everything was fine untill i went to change my boot images again and powered on using camera+power and the grey screen pops up first since i left it on my sd card (dont remember what the grey screen is i just remember not to interupt it but im sure if youve rooted youll remember what im talking about), well instead of clicking the trackball i accidently hit the power button, wiping my phone once again. I went back to rc29 and rooted it (wasnt sure if i had to so i just did it (i had the time)) then back to the rc33 1.41 by jf. got all my programs back the way it was before. i noticed when it booted into rc29 the first time and everytime after that my splash1 screen was back to stock but my splash2 screen was the one i had put there. so i powered off after i got all my programs installed and went to change my first splash screen, and now once i exit out of the grey screen (yeah i know, still on the sd card) it goes to the RGB screen (the normal screen), not the skateboarding androids, and definately not fast boot.

My question: Without going back through the ENTIRE process all over again, how do i get my fastboot back? I may of missed it on the forums, but I promise, it wasnt for a lack of searching, LOTS of searching (and not just this forum). Plenty of forums tell me how to use fastboot, just now what to do to get it back...

Thanks in advance for your help..

(oh and if it makes a difference I recently installed a theme more details can be provided if needed)
[G1 Android Development] n8izzle:
Since i take it that you are already rooted.. then i think it should be easy.. just download the bootloader devs edition again and place it in your sd card and then go safety mode and update it again.. but i think the reason why its going to the gray screen when you press camera + power is becuase you may still have the dreaimg.nbh file in there.. i would delete that first.. then put the modified bootloader and then update it and see if that works... Those are my thoughts hope it help.. good luck :)
[G1 Android Development] wootroot:
yes i know that its the dreaimg.nbh i just forgot what the name was, and yes i should definately delete it since its what got me in this situation to begin with lol

now i found the bootloader i need (i got bored and decided to root my girlfriends g1 while waiting for an answer and found out that i forgot to use the bootloader like i had before) and have it on the sdcard, named as update.zip, waiting to be installed, but before i do it, am i going to lose all of my programs again? i have 127 programs, many of them (like locale and such have settings edited) that i do not feel is worth having to go through a 3rd time

so not my only question is, when i hit alt+s am i going to wipe my phone again?

Oh and thank you for such a quick responce n8izzle, and another thing, why safemode?
[G1 Android Development] jaygajay:
No it won't wipe your programs if u install the boot loader. And by safe mode he meant recovery mode (i am sure). If u want to be on the safe side go to recovery mode first and then do a NAND backup by pressing Alt+B which will back up all your partitions if something should go wrong again. Then update bootloader.

So Alt+B first then Alt+S and then u should have fastboot again and also backup images of ur phone on ur SD card
[G1 Android Development] n8izzle:
hey sorry had to restart my computer i just got ubuntu :D.. but yea thats what i mean not safe mode but the other lol... but hope that you got it working if not you can pm me and i will walk you through it...
[G1 Android Development] wootroot:
Yeah I didn't put 2 and 2 together than bootloaders wher part of the rc updates lol, it makes perfect sense to me now, how's ubuntu?

Oh and can anyone elaborate on exactly what's backed up with the backup tool in the recovery menu and how to restore it

(New to linux incase anyone was wondering, I've always wanted to get into it but every class I've taken for my certs for web development has been for windows os, so hang in there I'm a quick learner lol)
[G1 Android Development] n8izzle:
ubuntu is pretty cool i like it.. im not too familiar with it but i initially got it so i can partition my sd card... so i'm learning on this as well... if you are talking about backing up your phone with nandroid it works great... you can view the directions and all below... if you want i can help you step by step if you run into problems.. just pm me if you do...

I wanted to toss the first anime theme into the pot since people have been asking and here is my first attempt. Of all the anime I like, Ghost in the Shell (or GitS) is the only one that I could actually form some sort of an idea with. Here is the result (so far). Things are subject to change based on feedback and I'm looking forward to that. Whether you like anime or not, give me some pointers on what you think of the look in general.

Its in a workable form but I chose not to release it yet since I don't know what I want to keep and what to change.

When I finish I may remove all the anime refrences: character's, logo's, etc and make it a general sci-fi looking theme. I personally dont like having anything of mine splashed with faces and names.

Here are some screenshots.

Note:The reason you see two different color Tachcoma is because the blue one is the result of selecting/pressing the menu tab. Green is the default/norm. The delete icon is a laughing man logo which switches from green to red (roll over).

Edit: New Clock! (Laughing Man)

I'm actually using a ghost in the shell wallpaper with gloss suite right now , I'd post it but I don't know how mods feel about naked women despite them being androids lol ( tastefully done , just her standing over a dark city )

I was toying with the idea of making a GitS theme based on the original movie but figured it'd be hard to get quality pics with the new series being so popular ( and rightfully so )

My suggestion for this one, laughing man clock, if you could somehow make it spin all the better. Android doesn't seem to like .gif's from what I've seen though.

I'm liking the status bar icons though .

As I type this I am obtaining a new ROM from my source for the Rhodium.

RUU_Rhodium_TMOUS_1.04.531.0_Radio_Rhodium_3.43.25.13_Signed_Test.exe

This ROM was released to me today. There's no way that there are consumer grade devices for sale out there. I promise you, if the seller is true and has the device, the Rhodium had two stages in its development. One included hardware and software that were "non-turbo", later on the hardware was enabled with "turbo" but had to be disabled with a specialized cab. If that was not completed the firmware would stall and there would be an error stating that the hw/sw versions do not match. this was a real pain in the ass to get around that. So finally, everything is a running beta stage as of today.

Buyer beware.

[G1 Android Development] matthewboii:
yes ive actaully done a little theming myself and i understand that, but what i wish to do is uninstall some of my applications and edit them to change the default icons, i have success with the apks of regular apps but i cant do it for the paid ones

it seems that in the data/app file they arent apks at all! they are zip files

and after i have edited them on the computer and re zipped, named, and signed them, i still cant get them to re install,

the purpose of this is to change the default icon and no i do not want to use bettercut because i am using ahome and its not compatible

Hmm that's a good question. I have yet to change default icons, so I'm of no help. Sorry :-/

anyone?

I have noticed this as well, it seems that the .zip files in the app directory are protected. You will find the .apk in the app-private directory.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Motorious:
Hey folks!

So I got tired of having all of Bell Mobility's pay per use bloatware using space on my device and decided to manually remove everything...

One particular program I would like to remove is the "Bell Media Player", which is actually a Bell branded version of a media player by "QuickPlay Media." Now, of course, there is no option to remove this software provided with the OS. Luckily, Bell provided an updated version of this software and left a .cab file on my device. Again, after this software was installed, there is no option to remove the program (if you look at the xml file I have attached from inside their cab, there is a value NoUninstall set to 1). I extracted the cab file, edited the value to 0, archived it again and tried to install over top of the current install. I was given a message "the previous version cannot be uninstalled." I continued with the installation, and hoping to see the media player in my list of programs to be removed, I was disappointed not to see anything.

As such, I have decided to manually remove all of the files and registry values listed in the install. I have a question regarding one particular registry value and whether it is safe to remove it, or whether I should link it to something else. In the setup xml file in the cab, there is an entry that says:

- <characteristic type="HKCR\rtsp\Shell\Open\Command">

<parm name="" value=""%CE1%\Bell Media Player\BellMediaPlayer.exe" "%1"" datatype="string" translation="install" />

Is it safe for me to delete the entire HKCR\rtsp\Shell\Open\Command , or should I simply change the value to another rtsp compatible media player?

Also, I've attached the xml file included in the setup, is someone able to tell me if, after I have deleted all of the files, directories, and registry values listed in the xml file, I will have no trace of "Bell's Media Player" on my device?

An added bonus would be if someone can tell me what I originally did wrong to install over the previous installation and make the media player available for uninstall!

*Please note, I have renamed the xml file as a txt and zipped it so it can be uploaded...and so people don't have to be wary of random xml files :)*
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] BBM-Lee:
Personally, when I dont want bloatware, I just follow the many steps people use to not have it:

1) Soft reset when 'configuring your device' mode starts

2) Use a new ROM

As for removing the registry key... Probably safe.. but doubt many people have experience with that particular key. With all that you've been doing it sounds like you've made a backup of your data (I Hope), so I'd give it a shot and see what happens.

Worst case, you need to hard reset. When you do -- Did you install the cab and then 'reinstall' the same cab with that string switched to allow uninstalls? Perhaps when you first are going to do it, set it to allow uninstall the first time -- don't know if it'll work, but worth a shot?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Motorious:
Thanks for the tips! The main reason why I haven't switched to a new rom yet is that I am waiting for Bell or HTC to provide an update to their ROM so I have the option of switching back to a locked stock rom for the phone for warranty reasons. Although there is a dumped Bell nbh, it still requires the phone to be unlocked, so I'm a bit wary of using it...since Bell techs/sups are a bunch of (*insert expletives here*)

I guess I'll delete the other keys, and change the value of that particular one to another media player. I don't see any harm in keeping it there aside from a missing link error.

I have actually found cabs for most of Bell's installed software, so I think I can safely remove most of it. The one major caveat is GPSNav (by Telenav) I searched the entire registry and could not find anything that had "telenav" or "nav" in it that looked appropriate. Perhaps I am missing something, would be awesome if anyone knows the location (if any) of anything related to the program in the registry.

[G1 General] ZilverZurfarn:
There is obviously a reason to anything, and as someone said, it should be optional to send "as is" or sized down. But transfering big (image) files was never the design goal behind MMS. To declare MMS as "pretty much useless" if you're not allowed to send huge images (some carriers even limit MMS size to 32 kB!) is overreacting IMO. To me, it makes sense to scale down the image to std phone display size. If I want to transfer things untouched, there's always email...

nI diissue! I wan't o dnsend MMSs to my G/F who will crop them on her handset. She doesn't have a data plan so POP3/IMAP email isn't gonna cut

As for MMS not being designed for large amounts of data; neither were email or SMS but they evolved to meet the needs of users. Some providers send adverts via MMS so a 100I200KB jpg shouldn't be a problem.

Should it?t. 't mean for this to be a contetious

[G1 General] ZilverZurfarn:
where I live, downloading an image to the phone costs the same no matter if it's part of an MMS or an email attachment. It's the same # of bytes to dl, and without a data plan every byte comes at a price.

/Mats
[G1 General] JanetPanic:
Not to get involved in this lovely debate but the OP:

1) Wants to send a picture to his GF's phone.

2) Once on the phone she can then crop to suit.

3) Since she does not have a data plan MMS is about the only easy way to send the photo directly to the phone.

4) Depending on the phone she may or may not be able to get the picture from her computer but for the sake of argument let's assume not.

So we have a reasonable request and reasoning for why the OP wants to send an uncompressed image. Mail does not cut it and given premise 2 a compressed image is not acceptable.

So can we stop trying to find a work around for the moment and simply try and address the OP's problem? I am as guilty as anyone of justifying a limitation on my beloved G1 but in this case it is not going to help. Maybe one of the third party MMS programs? The furst question in my mind is whether it is the phone compressing the image or the carrier? Any way to know for sure?
[G1 General] beartard:
T-Mobile (USA) imposes a 300k limit on MMS messages (as seen in many other forums here using WM). It's certainly possible that Google forced the messaging app to conform to that limit....or even to a smaller limit so that other carriers with lower thresholds could still use the same Android build for MMS.
[G1 General] Nayyak:
I always send MMS to my wife who is overseas, and I prefer MMS since its instant and my wife doesn't check her email frequently. I know I can email her the images then sms her to notify her about the email but thats just not practical.

so please if you don't have an answer, you don't have to say "I don't know" which might hurt your reputation as an expert on everything except useful solutions.

Just skip the thread.
[G1 General] D_JWhite:
I'm interested as to whether there are any .conf file etcetera to edit.

It seems to be the phone requiring the compression of the image, which doesn't make much sense, as none of my WM devices have forced this requirement upon me.

Anyone care to join me in a game of 'Hunt the config file'

The images I send are literally the size of my thumbnail btw.

Thanks in advance!

[G1 General] bahnburner:
Why not just email the full sized picture to her phone's email address. Most providers have an email address for each phone number on their system. T-mob is phonenumber@tmomail.net. Search google for the address. There, a nice simple solution. Was I really the only one that thought of this?
