Sigh... so many doomsday style rumors going around with this. The sd controller has built in wear leveling meaning that it spreads out writes across the whole sd card. Now, for an sd card to wear out takes on the order of millions of writes, meaning you'd have to totally rewrite the entire ext2 partition that many times. This would take years even with constantly trying to write to that partition as fast as your phone possibly can. So there's not much to worry about on that front.

For making your phone work with it it's pretty automatic, though I'd suggest clearing out /deleting the data folder off your ext2 partition if you have it there.
[G1 Android Development] Bring.Da.Pain2:
ok...

wow stupid question sorry
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Hmm I hope you didn't think I was angry, I didn't realize it until going back and reading it that I may have sounded that way.
[G1 Android Development] antempire4:
I am noticing my data is always on when I am on edge. anyone else noticing this?
[G1 Android Development] bloodaxe:
Yeah I have noticed it too but I don't think it drains too much data from what I saw...

Apart from that this Rom is great and running smoothly ! Can't wait for the Dude's surprise...:D

Thanks to the Dude and all the other involved!
[G1 Android Development] antempire4:
What do you suppose the reason is for this? and how much do you think it is using? and what is this about a surprise?!
[G1 Android Development] bloodaxe:
That's for the surprise !

You can install a program called " NetCounter" from Market which will tell you how much data you are using exactly. For the reason do you have any widget running such as weather forecast or your gmail account synchronization always on ? Because this require data connection in order to display info and in my understanding this is why the connection is always on...
[G1 Android Development] antempire4:
I have the weather widget running. Its just insane to me that it needs a constant data connection for that....
[G1 Android Development] Bring.Da.Pain2:
No way

Not at all. My only problem now is how do i run the scripts? i got the sdk and stuff but now i realize how absolutely lost i am. How do i run the scripts that dude specified on the first page?

Haykuro's new keyboard update works on dudes 1.1a! Using it now and it' awesome. Check out haykuro's blog to see the keyboard update!

Download

http://www.droiddeveloper.com/hrbuilds/htc_ime.zip

- unzip ZIP file and put HTC_IME.apk and libt9.so in the root of your sdcard

- can you push these thru adb with the following codes

$ adb remount

$ adb push libt9.so /system/lib/libt9.so

$ adb push HTC_IME.apk /system/app/HTC_IME.apk

$ adb shell reboot

or use the terminal code which is

# su

# mount rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

# cp sdcard/libt9.so /system/lib/libt9.so

# cp sdcard/HTC_IME.apk /system/app/HTC_IME.apk

# reboot

and enjoy :]

I'm getting force-closes on the TouchInput app whenever I enable it after installing per instructions in his blog. Will try again and post my results.
[G1 Android Development] brianb7590:
Are you able to get the hardware keyobad predictions to work?
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
is there an app that not only counts the data but tells you what program is using it? With my old WM phone there was a program that did that.....
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
how is this different to the key.apk? predictions?
[G1 Android Development] jayb222:
Yeah. It's working fine!

The go is different and predictive text works on the hardware keyboard now too. It's pretty cool! I had key.apk already installed and working before I ran the scripts through adb. Don't know if that will help you get it working. But I hope it does. :-)
[G1 Android Development] brianb7590:
Damn, mine don't work.....thats weird...did you copy over any other libs?

That is so strange....it worked for me for like 10 a couple of words and then it crashed and stopped the hardware keyboard auto prediction....
[G1 Android Development] KidJethro:
Grrr....I can't get the hardware keyboard auto prediction thing to work either. I see the screen shots on haykuro's blog...damn I WANT that!
[G1 Android Development] ivanmmj:
If you don't mind me asking... How did you get the home to show up 5 screens instead of 3? Curiousity killed the cat and the poor useless search engine...
[G1 Android Development] KidJethro:
OMFG!!! Typing sounds with hardware keyboard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WooooHooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's the one feature I've wanted more than anything with this G1!!!

Ok, That said, I figured out how to make auto prediction, spelling correction and typing sounds work with the hardware keyboard. With the keyboard slid open, you have to tap in the text box as if bringing up the onscreen kb. Then the prediction and typing sounds work on the hardware kb after after that. w00t!!!!!!!!!!!

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[G1 Android Development] KidJethro:
Hmmm, mine was just automatically set that way. You don't have any alternate home apps running by chance? Open Home, aHome etc?
[G1 Android Development] jayb222:
I had key.apk already installed and working before I ran the key.apk already installed and working before I ran the scripts through adb. Don't know if that will help you get it working. But I hope it does. :-)

It stopped for a second for me too. If it was working then try hitting a lot of keys till it works again. Or try switching vk's from Android to touch input. Then try the hardware keyboard.
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
its there automatically- just keep scrolling to the right
[G1 Android Development] jayb222:
So that's how I got it to work. I do that all the time so I didn't know. Thanks for the clarification!
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Screen sounds is a great feature to go with it,different sounds is going to be some fun.
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
now that haykuro has come out with htc hero stuff i wonder what dude will have for us? Hopefully he can import a lot of these changes
[G1 Android Development] Bavilo:
Wow, everything in haykuros build looks so much better than the normal G builds. Me want :(
[G1 Android Development] DarkFoxDK:
It would be awesome... If he hadn't removed all the languages except for english... Now it's just useless to me...
[G1 Android Development] shagrath78:
Hi, I got the exact same problem... touch screen is barely usable after 1 or 2 minutes of usage :(

I didn't succeed to isolate the culprit. Tried to move back the app's dalvik cache to internal memory (like you did), didn't change a thing. Also, it seems it's more frequent with a low battery (but i'm not 100% sure)...

If someone have an idea, I'll be very happy ;)

app crash on Dude 1.1.a

Hi all,

i have buyed A2B and Carmode on the market.

With the previous dude's firmware the apps was OK but with 1.1a they crash.

How can i fix to work fine?

another app is Toggle setting (cupcake) and it work fine but when you reboot the g1 the app crash...................

bye
[G1 Android Development] ESKIMOn00b:
I had the new htc-ime working with a fresh install of a theme I was attempting to port, now on the default blue it isn't working..... no hard predict and no new look to the keyboard, just acts like I didn't do anything after a handful of forcecloses... maybe it has to do with the blue skin? Maybe I'm a ****ing tard and it was early in the morn and I was doing something wrong, its no big deal for me as I don't really use the vk anyways, just neat to be able to get it to work
[G1 Android Development] Bavilo:
I'm using 1.1a as well and I played around with hayukos new IME a bit. For some reason I wasn't able to push it to the device, It just wouldn't show up internally. Instead I did an adb install, which made it work just fine.

Still looking forward to the things Dude has in store for us, I hope it's more things from the H build :)
[G1 Android Development] kathi17:
I am still on Haykuro's 5.02H, no apps to SD, and Toggle Settings for cupcake is crashing on me, so I think it's a problem with the app rather than Dude's build.

Toggle Settings worked pretty well for me before the cupcake update.
[G1 Android Development] brianb7590:
Does this happen to you when you are charging the phone?
[G1 Android Development] shagrath78:
both... even sometimes just after a reboot
[G1 Android Development] brianb7590:
I know that the same thing would happen to me when I would charge the phone on a charger that wasn't designed for the G1...
[G1 Android Development] yeticomes:
sorry for pushing but maybe you can give me any help about these questions please?

When I read your problems with 1.1a I have to say everything works fine for me also the "old" H-VK but it sucks that the phone does not really react when I scroll the browser or just want to open an app etc ...
[G1 Android Development] brianb7590:
If you're having problems then you should try to wipe and reinstall 1.1a

You shouldn't have to reformat the card to ext2

With the new Apps2SD method you do not have to run any scripts to make your apps

install to your SD they will do so automatically

I'm sticking to the latest radio.
[G1 Android Development] yeticomes:
Thank you very much!

So the apps will stay at the sdcard during the wipe and I do not have to reinstall them?
[G1 Android Development] brianb7590:
Nope, they will automatically show up in your launcher. They won't, however, be in you "my downloads" so you wont get update notifications.
[G1 Android Development] yeticomes:
Great - the rest I know, I will get them with atrackdog

Thanx a lot for your fast support!

Have to make backups now (Note Me & ActionComplete) and the Alt+W & Alt+S :-)
[G1 Android Development] shagrath78:
ok, thanks for your reply... I'm using the USB cable and charger from the htc's bundle... I will try to get a pattern but this is getting quite annoying :confused:

don't think it's an hardware defect, cause a simple "put to sleep" during 10 seconds is enough to get things working back (not for long but...)

well maybe I was too fast... http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f41/g1-touch-screen-problems-5650/index5.html

sorry for hijacking the thread, it seems it's not related to the dude's firmware...
[G1 Android Development] brianb7590:
Alright well I flashed back over and wiped 4 times (just to be safe) and I now see the calculator and have set-up my apps to sd......seems to be stuck in a boot look though......hmmm......rebooting...and it works!! GREAT!!

THANKS DUDE!!
[G1 Android Development] KidJethro:
Any chance you could zip those up and post them here? ;)

The only one I had was the Effect_Tick.ogg file.
[G1 Android Development] aVirulence:
Well, you should not use the online reference, but the one in this directory:

android-sdk-linux_x86-1.5_pre/docs/reference/android/location/LocationManager.html

However, I guess that most of the docs are the same.
[G1 Android Development] KidJethro:
Also, does anyone know if it's possible to get typing/tap sounds while using the hardware kb?

I miss that feature soooooo much from my old Wing.

If I had that, I'd be in ocd nirvana. :D
[G1 Android Development] Tourist_007:
I have always had my ringtones and system sounds on sdcard. All ringtones work for me as well as in alarm clock etc. As for ticks, a quick fix is in previous few posts, which I can confirm work as well.
[G1 Android Development] ArmandHammer:
So apps to sd are working on this build? They werent working before when i first downloaded the .6v.
[G1 Android Development] Tourist_007:
Guess this board only uses zip ext and not rar. Had to go through a whole new learning experience. (the easy things are sometimes harder to learn, roflmao)

Anyway, you might have to delete the tick sound if it's already there. I also just did a recursive (-r) copy on the UI folder complete.

Edit: removed ui.zip as it wasn't functional. New post further on. (#318)
[G1 Android Development] brianb7590:
Yeah, They weren't working for me either but I got some sleep and I wiped more than enough times and Voila! it worked! I just followed This!!
[G1 Android Development] Tourist_007:
Yes, sure are. First page has the file. (you may have gone to sleep a tad too early.... lol)
[G1 Android Development] KidJethro:
Youtube works fine for me...Just tested by watchin 3 or 4 different videos. (search for "iraq donuts" and watch the first video in the list...HAHA!!)

I have no ringtone issues. All my stuff is on the sd though. And I use Ringo Pro.

You can download the stock ringtones here-

http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecode.com/files/resource.zip

Camcorder works, but playback quality of recorded videos is horrible. Tested with both the stock video player app and Meridian.

No gps for me either.

Apps to sd works fine. :D

~edit~

I'm also having volume issues with ringtones/sounds NOT on the sdcard.
[G1 Android Development] Fr0sTy333:
gonna have to re-zip it. nothing is available in the package. shows up empty for me.
[G1 Android Development] ArmandHammer:
Everytime i download the usb drivers i go to extract them and i get an error?

Should i use the update drivers from

[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
oooh that's nice!

Wow, the new build's camera is working, AND it's 100X better than I can ever remember it on the stock firmware, jf, or the haykuro/dude builds. It looks great! The video cam looks like it is responding much better also, although it is still plagued by BLUE LINES OF DEATH akaBLOD :) You are doing great O Dude. Keep it up. i digress... would the fix not be the same for both the camera and video cam?
[G1 Android Development] efreese:
Thanks DUDE and HAYKURO for all your work!!!!

... lurker coming out of the shadows alert!!! ...

Yeah, I too thought I saw somewhere that app2sd wasn't working. Anyway, want to make sure I'm doing this correctly so as not to ask any other stupid questions ...

1) backup using Nandroid

2) wipe and flash update.zip (0.6 with apps2sd) and reboot

3) setup/login

4) follow the Haykuro apps2sd directions (using ADB from my PC)

- I read somewhere that you could also move the cache and /data/data files over - is that a good idea?

- Would the MarcusMaximus tool work on this ROM? - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=504451

5) fastboot the userdata back onto phone and reboot

6) enjoy the cupcake

What would the process be for doing future rom updates?

Thanks!

Hi,

i have installed Aero v1.4(BLACK) - Dudes1.x(Ported by Beagz)

Work fine for me.......

The only problem is tha language.

the "Settings" are in english :

- wireless control

- call settings

- etc....

but When i launch the application are in italian language.

I try to insert italian language in "Locale and Text"---->Select Locale but remain the same.

With the Dude's theme or Dude's firmaware 1.1.a. all can set in italian mode.

How can set italian language in Aero v1.4(BLACK) ?

I'm not using this build. I've been thinking of making my own custom build, but haven't decided if I want to or not. I already cook for Windows Mobile and although it's a HUGE difference in "cooking" I'm still curious. I'm just curious how he was able to do this in the first place.

ROM/Default-Theme bugs

Hey dude,

just thought i'd let you know. The clock in the upper-right of the notifications bar is white-on-white in the default/template theme you made available. Also, my phone seems to display "please connect to charger" on the unlock menu no matter what the charge status is. I'm at 99% right now and its still asking me to plug it in as if it were at critical battery.

great ROM though. apps2sd went off w/o a hitch
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
Reflash fixed it for me
[G1 Android Development] JazzMac251:
Reflash with a wipe? I'm not interested in losing all my app and browser data. Is there a way to back it up before wiping?

EDIT: Not syncing my contacts. how strange
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
I didn't wipe. Just reflashed 1.1full, then reflashed default theme. My clock was clear because I tried another theme and then went back but I think the same fix works
[G1 Android Development] JazzMac251:
yeah that did it.

also, turning off and then back on auto-sync did the trick for updating contacts. don't know what happened there but all is well now

[G1 Android Development] KidJethro:

if we could just find out when. i think we would all be happy to know when.
[G1 Android Development] g1junky:
yea i agree
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
Can you elaborate?

I watched the video but it only showed some new icons, a much cooler browser windows-display (when switching) and it showed some more options in the settings but i dont think I fully grasp the potential. Is the performance different? Or the animations? Thanks
[G1 Android Development] BSDADON:
And not just when but "if". For all we know its like customizable # of screens or something, and he isn't even working on an HTC hero port. Hope i'm wrong, but not getting my hopes up just yet. will wait for word from the dude, been with him since .8 and can't wait to see what the future holds either way (but hopefully the hero route:rolleyes:)
[G1 Android Development] BSDADON:
Just looks much more polished to me and the browser reminds me of the steel browser, but better. That music app looks phenomenal to me. That's all I noticed from it. that interests me. I am definitely wanting hero, but like I said previously, not holding my breath so I don't get let down if that isn't the surprise.
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
ah yes the music app I forgot about that. I dont even use the phone for music but Id be mighty tempted with that app.
[G1 Android Development] DarkFoxDK:
Watched the Hero video... I think I just jizzed in my pants.
[G1 Android Development] BSDADON:
Yea same here, I just don't like the way the music app looks, just irks me. With that though yes I would use it way more often.

[G1 Android Development] osho741:
Someone over in the shhhhh thread stated that they spoke to haykuro and haykuro stated that he knows the dude has the hero rom but does not know if he got it working on the g1 yet, and that they are not working together on it.

Also beware of the new spl that haykuro posted as about 5 people now are reporting bricked phones after trying to install it
[G1 Android Development] UnkzDomain:
Yep, that would be me. Haykuro said that he's currently working on the stability of the build and that he's not planning on working with TheDude... Whether or not TheDude got/gets it working remains to be seen. He DID make the post saying that he will be our hero...
[G1 Android Development] jayb222:
if he gets us that then he will definitely be our hero! I wanna know how long the wait is now! I'll test! things seem to work on my phone. I have the new spl working and keyboard!

I took a look at that video with the hero build and was thoroughly impressed. My only question is if that phone thats in the video had it ported? if so then, considering all that the dude has been able to do for us, we should see hero build sometime soon. Not that im complaining, im loving the 1.1 and my g1 works like a charm but still tht music app would be nice. jus saying...

Battery life

I don't want to distract everyone from fantasizing about the possibility of a Hero build, but...

I have found a "hidden" battery drain that made a BIG difference in my battery life when I fixed it.

It appears that at least TheDude's build may come with the feature "Notify Me When WiFi is Avialable" enabled by default. This causes the phone to constantly search for WiFi and drains a lot of battery. Now that I have turned it off, my battery life is approximately double what it was.

The ironic part is that the phone has NEVER alerted me that WiFi was available anywhere. It is not even doing the job that this battery sink is supposed to do. Go figure...

So, if your battery is draining fast than it used to, try un-checking this in settings. It is under WiFI set-up.
[G1 Android Development] PAO1908:
Im on Haykuros 1.5.

How was this option activated ? I found it in settings, it had a green arrow, is it correct that even the WLAN is deactivated, the green arrow is there and it searches for open wifi's ??? Unchecked it right now, will inform you if I have better battery life now....
