Dude,

First of all - thanks for this. I have heard incredible things about this thus far and I am looking to switch from 5.02Hr3. I know you aren't accepting FRs, but the Exchange thing is huge for me. I also know there is a thread for that, but since you seem to be one of the most capable folks, and my desire to have it is specific to my wanting to switch to your build (as it works well for me now in the H build), I thought I'd ask here in another way. Any ideas on how the Sync config app out there for controlling Google Sync in the H build could be expanded to cover both? Just thought I'd ask here as I might be able to help look into it if you could point me in the right direction.

Thanks again

Mark

Thanks for this greater img and the development so far.

I've tried the Arabic local, but it didn't work so far, it appears that it is not implemented it yet. what i do in order to display Arabic is by changing the fallback font to one that could display Arabic characters. but the problem it is not connected separated. in order to display the right, there is java code that can reshape the characters. we have it, it is posted in here,

http://wm-arabic.cvs.sourceforge.net/wm-arabic/

and the explanation is in this page:

http://www.ahmed-essam.com/2007/11/applicability-for-arabizing-android.html.

you may use this page to help as will:

http://blog.amr-gawish.com/39/arabic-language-in-android/comment-page-

could anyone please help to incorporate this somewhere so that it could read Arabic properly?

I find editing my favorites is really slow, If I remove or add someone to my "favorites" it does nothing for about 30-45 seconds or so then they dissapear/get added to the list. Not sure if this is just slower in cupcake or if something is making it take forever. All other contact editting is pretty instant.

Love the build tho.

Yeah, Dude, when did this turn into a widget thread? 1 question that might have been answered already, but too many posts to sift through. Will your build block OTA updates when they come out so root is not lost, or are there additional steps that need be performed so that doesn't happen? You have a donation from me for all of your hard work. Thanks again!!

i had 0.8 app2sd installed, but whenever i try to use the Apps2sd application, after restart the phone it keep looping at the ANDROID boot logo.....tried many times with different tutorials in the forums, still get the same problem....even when i alt + W, still can't get out the loop. Can someone help me with this?

Reinstall .08 and try again. Something went wrong somewhere.
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
and that's why we love you dude of life :D. Seriously, best. post. ever. Anywho to make this a somewhat meaningful post, I just wanted to say it's really cool that both of us are using each other's stuff(saw your post about using open overclocker and, of course, I'm using your ROM cause IMO, it's the best out there)

EDIT: oh and for:

I agree with serialtoon. There should be no way for that to happen with the appstosd app so I'd suggest reflashing .8.

[G1 Android Development] samysam05:
When you do the command for apps to sd if you already have apps on the card you have to wait, when you reboot the apps are being installed on the phone. So it will take longer to boot. Maybe you got impatient :-)
[G1 Android Development] shaneaus:
Thank you DudeOfLife! Flashed your latest update and it is awesome!

I also have the volume issue. It just appears to me that EVERYTHING is a lower volume. I tried Volume Control. While it allows me to adjust the settings... It appears to me that the master volume settings inside Android have a max that is too low. I fiddled with all of the different volume controls and they were all in the same range... Just too low.

Besides that - LOOKS Great!

Thank you to all involved!

Also, love that I can rock out the HTC VK!
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Good point. It has taken up to 5-10 minutes for me. If you see it turn off(screen goes all black) and then it goes back to the boot logo then it's looping. Otherwise it might just be setting up your apps(and if you pull the battery while it's doing that I have no idea what will happen). Also, if you're doing a wipe and it still doesn't fix the issue it couldn't possibly have anything to do with my app since a wipe deletes everything my app puts on the phone.

[G1 Android Development] raydekok:
ok thank you dude. here from the netherlands,

great job everything is working but when i try to go on the internet or go into the market with 3G sometimes it isn't working or it stay's thinking for ages. when on the normal build or the jf1.43 it workt fine and fast.

other thing is that some apps not work fine like "usefull switchers"

and then there is the multi-touch browser or is that for a costum build?

i hope it is clear what i wrote because i normaly don't write in english.
[G1 Android Development] overground:
Agreed...mine took about 6-8 min at the Android screen (I was getting worried) but to my relief the home screen finally appeared. Be patient. I think as long as the screen doesn't fade and come back (although it might time out and go black), it's not looping.
[G1 Android Development] overground:
Try backing out of the Market and starting it again. That sometimes happens to me, but it always works the second time.
[G1 Android Development] raydekok:
correct, but that ain't normal.

same for the browser.

keep up the great work
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
This happens for me as well. I've actually found just going back to the main market page and then pressing applications again fixes it every time. Happened on Haykuro's latest H build too. Started fairly recently though. More google shenanigans?
[G1 Android Development] ArmandHammer:
I can say this has happened to me just within the last week, It didnt happen on the .5 or .6 build.

Also i have had the browser just shut downon me a couple of times. It will just exit but then when i go to open it again the windows i was just in went away.

Other than that everything seems to be running very smoothly.

i get the same bug. i usually wait till the home page for the market loads before i go into my downloads.
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
I've been have the exact same issue. I think it is because it is detecting and searching for updates on the 100+ apps I have installed.
[G1 Android Development] rushless:
Does the Dude rom have an option for card installs for apps? With aHome, I am content with the Tmo rom unless Dude's has card installs.

I have no room on my G1. I guess Google wants the market to shrivel and die, since no room to install apps.
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
seriously? It's on like the third line of the first post! It clearly says "apps2sd".
[G1 Android Development] borodin1:
Quick question for the Dude

It seems like every time I open up browser it opens up new window on top of the windows that were open in previous session. Happens in this build (and 5.02H). In JFs builds it would just resume last session. Is there a way to make work like it did in JF's version (i.e resume last session)? I looked in the settings and did not see anything about it. I'm pretty sure it's not a bug but rather some kind of new feature but I hate it.

Anybody installed that theme by manup456 yet (Prod. Sun)? I did and it my phone is stuck on splash2. Tried wiping, reinstalling, wiping again and still the same thing. I'm at work too so no access to PC with fastboot, can't even put in a clean install... no card reader.... Yeah this will be the longest 3hrs at work.

Great job Dude...I like this build much more then any other ones I've tried. I'll be donating as soon as I get my paycheck.
[G1 Android Development] overground:
Sorry, no help on the browser issue, however I installed the full Prodigal Sun theme back when I had JF 1.42. I had the same problem as you're having. I wiped, reflashed JF 1.42, wiped again and then reinstalled Manup's theme. My phone was "on fire" after that! Sorry I can't give you any experiences with Dude's ROM, but try those steps and let me know how it works with this ROM.

Please dont flame me. I would like to kno how to edit roms as well. If you can point me to a tutorial, it would be greatly appreciated.
[G1 Android Development] borodin1:
Whoa... I did not know that Dude's .08 had any media? When I first downloaded, it reverted to "unknown" ringtone and I have all of my media on sd. thanks for the tip... I'll look into it as soon as I get home.
[G1 Android Development] brianb7590:
I removed all my media first and I installed the theme and it worked properly, well except for the splash screen it says "prodgal" not "prodigal" lol :D
[G1 Android Development] rushless:
Sorry bout that- long day and night. :(

Kind of sad we have to jump through hoops to install to card. With one million G1's sold and only about 1% of the market rooting their phone for card installs, it looks like the market may hit a brick wall in regards to growth. The other 99% of the install base needs to be able to install to card as well- through an official rom of course.

Android's (official dev team led by Diane) security or hell approach will kill the market.
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
So would a security breach based on market apps that went will nilly on the system.

This isn't a hate on google, especially Dianne Hackborn thread. I'm sorry you're upset about typing a few commands.
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Well it's not entirely google's fault. Keeping the apps on the sd card leads to major problems for those who aren't very tech savvy. Proof of this lies in the 5-10 emails I still get daily by those whose apps to sd installation gets messed up. There's simply no solution for storing apps on the sd card that would work well enough for a company that wants to sell their operating system to support. What should happen when the user takes out their sd card? Should the whole sd card be in ext2? What about for windows users since windows can't see ext2? etc. etc. etc. The real problem is that HTC made this phone with so little internal memory. A much better solution(which really wouldn't cost that much) is if they had given it even just 1 GB of storage space. That would give everyone enough space to store hundreds upon hundreds of apps and the cost would be totally insubstantial. Just my $.02

How do I back up my bookmarks?

I use to use Mybackup Pro but it on "The dude build" it says something

about permission denied couldn't access a file. (I dont have the phone with

me so i dont know what all it says)

Is it just because of the new browser?

also will command "pull /data/data/com.android.browser/databases/browser.db"

also what happen to the home page button in the browser?

[G1 Android Development] rock_hard:
ADP ?

I'm just wondering ... has anyone tried running this on the android dev phone?
[G1 Android Development] rushless:
I am fine with the root process. Did the same with my Dash because Tmo US did not care to release a rom that allowed for SDHC cards even though Europe had the needed driver on their rom.

The point is how is the market going to grow if only a relative hand full of people actually have space to install apps? Kind of like building a shopping mall (the market) and have no parking (G1 device space).

Huge tangent to the point of this thread though. so mush mush on the subject.
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Well so far Apple has reported that on average iphone/ipod touch users only have 2 apps on their phone at any one time and their app store is doing fine so I wouldn't imagine it's too much of a problem. Plus most people who do have more apps than can fit are also the people who have rooted their phones or know how to do so. Again, the problem was really the fault of HTC and there's not much that can fix it except getting newer android devices when those come out.
[G1 Android Development] rushless:
My Symbian and Winmo phones give an option to install to card. I install common access apps like Coreplayer to the device and games would go on the card. That way, if I swapped the card for media, etc, I would still have the app on te device.

I see no difference here other than the entire framework for the Android OS hinges around the theme of security. That is fine, as long as the device has the space to install apps- the G1 does not.

Still, these words are taking away space on this thread for all of Dude's and other's great efforts here.
[G1 Android Development] rushless:
Very true. Based on Google threads and HTC comments:

1. Android team warned Tmo about the G1 space issue

2. HTC warned Tmo

3. Tmo decided the risk was worth it, because they did not want to wait longer, nor spend more money than they already had. The Dream was already designed and fit the launch window for late Q3 2008.

So once again, it is Tmo's fault ;)

I'm currently upgrading an RC33 phone that I had JFed earlier this year to my build

Things you should do first boot if upgrading from RC33(i may fix this if i can)

adb shell rm -r /data/dalvik-cache
adb shell rebooot

the cache is way stale, it needs refreshing, and it'll save some space. That caused her phone to stall forever the first time.

You can do it right after the G1 logo shows up

Thx Dude, I guess I will try it a little later. I heard your build and the G Build run a little smoother. Im finna flash it from Haykuros 5.0.2Hr4 apps2sd. Is there anything valuable I should know before I do this. I really dont mind if it erases everything at this point.
[G1 Android Development] mrmikemcguire:
So I was wondering.. Could this be the Culprit the my missing MB on my phones memory?? I have the apps and whatnot installed to SD, but the best that i get fresh from update for memory is 51mb. Currently I have 43mb available. Just curious to know if thats where it went.

I came from rc33.. do I have Lots of stale Dalvik cash??

I didnt do this upon first boot, but i did try recently and after i go through the cmd prompt and run cmd- adb devices.. I put the first command "adb shell rm -r /data/dalvik-cache" and i get an error that its read only. So i didnt go any further.
[G1 Android Development] stogchris81:
could not doing this be the cause of me not being able to move caches to sd? everytime i try, either with adb, term emu and recovery term. or when the apps 2sd app still had cache2sd, i would get the boot loop(waited plenty of time). apps to sd works every time, though. last time i tried i had come from jf 1.42 rc33.

I'm seeing a lot of different information going around about various radio updates. Some people are saying don't update the radio as it will mess things up. Some people are saying that you should use the new radio as it "goes with" the new version of android.

I have the RC33 radio update that I installed along with JF's RC33 1.42, which is what I'm still on.

If I update to Dude or Haykuro, am I better off keeping the RC33 radio update or going to the Sapphire radio update? And is it as easy as loading an update.zip to go back if I have problems?

Seeing people having all these problems with lost/dropping signal reminds me that if the thing doesn't even work properly as a phone/network device, all the slick stuff in the world isn't gonna do me any good...
[G1 Android Development] serialtoon:
I think that installing hundreds of apps is a problem on its own. Have you ever had so many apps that the tab would slow down to a crawl? Heck, im not even apps2sd and have installed 25-30 apps and the tab is slow already. Imagine a hundred? Im glad its only limited space.....for now. Once the OS matures and so does hardware for the OS, more than 50 might be ok. But for now, this is more than enough.

Use the new radio with the new firmware. If you want the new radio on the old firmware, download kornubs version. Other than that, i havent had any problems with the new radio on any of the builds, including JF's 1.42.

don't know, haven't used them... What I did is just moved the stale nfs files when it happened to mine. Worked like a charm. The file system can't do anything with the actual data stored in stale files but it can sure as hell change links to them(such as those in a directory.)
[G1 Android Development] stogchris81:
where do i learn about finding and moving stale nfs files?
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Heh, it's no big thing. For finding them, I was getting errors saying "Stale NFS file handle" when I tried deleting the cache directory from the sd card and that tells you what file is bad. For moving it's:

mv (file that's bad) (wherever you want to put it(can include a new name for the file here too))

Since the operating system doesn't look for apps put in random places, it won't see the stale NFS file and it won't show up. Then you install the app again and it works :)
