Here are my problems with touchdown and dont get me wrong by any means touchdown is by far the best add on exchange client available.. I had issues with calendering since it does not integrate with the default calendar app I find it rather sluggish to get to my appointments for a couple days out. I also found numerous times where it had stopped pushing on its own (this could be limited to trial version). Being a exchange admin and long time Windows Mobile user touchdown just does not qualify to me as a exchange client. Now remember I did say it is the best one. It just does not satisfy my need.

The built in HTC client is perfect as it integrates fully with the device and makes every o natural'. Anyways with the HTC builds which offer exchange they do integrate with google as well allowing u 2 fully separate lists with full syncing on both then in contacts u can choose which group to see in essence providing the exact option u love. I say give the rom a shot see what u think it is my preference and I suggest to everyone they make up there own minds as to which they like.
[G1 Android Development] Rebellion_CA:
Now that is something I did not know that you can separate the calendars and contacts. Very nice. I will have to give the ROM a shot. Also just to let you know since 3.0 came out there are no push issues that I have experienced. He has done some amazing work.

I need to install the Rogers ROM on my phone anyways, I have to tempt one of my programmers away from his iPhone he has on Rogers. I figured this would be the way to do it.

Thank you again for the feedback.
[G1 Android Development] mjpolgar:
I'm using the latest radio.. and i did wipe... wouldn't have asked the question otherwise.

radio is 2.22.19.26I... that is the right one no?
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
I know u can separate Contacts I am not 100% sure about calendar pretty sure you can though but I dont I only use the exchange so test it out and let me know cause now im curious.
[G1 Android Development] jzanitsch:
I noticed an issue with my widgets after a reboot this morning. After waiting about 5-10 minutes they ended up coming up. I don't know what is causing the delay though.

A few other things I've noticed:

1. Youtube (non-hd) videos seem to stutter for me more on this rom (I was at OTA 1.5 before). Now, I didn't test this too much, but I had issues with about 3 or 4 videos this morning. Wifi connection.

2. The building I work in is basically a black hole for T-Mobile, so I'm used to a no service alert when my screen is locked. However, it seems to randomly tell me "Emergency Phone Calls Only" on my screen lock. I don't recall ever seeing that before the Rogers ROM. I only notice it when I have questionable coverage.

3. The Pac-Man from NAMCO app from the Market flickers like crazy for me now, where on the OTA 1.5, I had no issues. I haven't tried reinstalling it yet.

All in all, it seems to be a really good ROM to me....I never rooted my phone until last night, so it has been a fun learning experience.
[G1 Android Development] mikedmeyer:
Pac-Man has flickered for me on every version of 1.5 I've ever run.
[G1 Android Development] vector_man:
Yes it is :)
[G1 Android Development] mikedmeyer:
That's the right one. I have no other suggestions other than to check your location settings and make sure network is enabled. I'm not having any problems.

[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
how can i get it off my dream? it's not yet been touched, i've had it a day so far. i want to flash this better version of the rogers rom but can grab some files off it first if needed.

Q: is the soft keyboard back in this? damn rogers ...
[G1 Android Development] kaobiore:
Oh great ... i will give it a shot ... and thanks for the build environment :-)

Really great!
[G1 Android Development] aggtrfrad:
yes the soft keyboard is back on the new builds:

http://is.gd/M2Pb

no there is not any known way to pull the radio image from the phone.

oh btw, i cant believe there is no photo of the phone board yet... geeks died a long time ago :(
[G1 Android Development] hellfenix:
I am at the same level as you dude. Haykuro told me yesterday on twitter that he would work on telling us how to obtain root on our Rogers devices today, maybe someone can make a tool to extract the radio but I doubt it, the only thing I can think of is we'll have to wait for an OTA update from rogers to get it from their servers, however radio's don't necessarily get updated with the main ROM so there might never be a radio update..
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
tried this for you and there is no option, haven't tried on wifi or hspda yet. i have stock FW still
[G1 Android Development] virtudude:
I'm actually seeing the same problem. It works on wireless, but fails on cell. I'm going to look into it.
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
hold down the key you want a character of ... hold o for Ö etc
[G1 Android Development] bplay:
It was not a problem of the software keyboard, it was the hardware keboard, but problem solved....
[G1 Android Development] virtudude:
I was able to get My Location working by copying /system/lib/libhtc_ril.so from another build. I'm not sure if it caused any other issues though.
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
i just went to open it up for you guys but i don't have the weird little screw driver needed
[G1 Android Development] virtudude:
Attached is the libhtc_ril.so I used.
[G1 Android Development] kaobiore:
ha ... i've made my own build using the build-environment.

thank you so much for sharing this :-)

I really hope you are going to maintain this build in future ... roger that? :p
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
Can I just use ADB Push to put it there or do I have to remove the old one? If so, what's the syntax for removing it? Sorry for the really dumb question.

On a lighter note, the install went perfect and it's running REALLY well.
[G1 Android Development] saul972:
I would back it up just in case

adb remount <enter>

adb shell <enter>

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

# rm -R /system/lib/libhtc_ril.so

then

ADB Push the new one
[G1 Android Development] B-Eazy:
Im curious if anyone has identified what files, libraries etc are necessary for exchange support to work.

I wanna c if I can get exchange working on Haykuro's Google Ion build
[G1 Android Development] xidominicanoix:
probably have to do a remount before these commands
[G1 Android Development] virtudude:
I wasted a lot of time trying to do the same thing. :-)

The problem is that HTC modified a lot of the core android libraries, so you need to replace virtually everything. By the time you're done it's basically this Rogers ROM.
[G1 Android Development] TurboTsi:
Thanks man, its the only thing that was missing for me.
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
so to review, what files do i need other than the firmware? - which i have already.
[G1 Android Development] fawaad:
So does your build you posted a few messages earlier has all this fixed and patched?
[G1 Android Development] virtudude:
Unfortunately it doesn't have that one change. I found out about it moments after I uploaded the build. :-\

I'm working on a v2 with some small changes, including that one. If you have any other requests, let me know.
[G1 Android Development] funbacon:
Louder sound makes G1 like Chinese phone

Multi-touch make G1 like buggy phone
[G1 Android Development] B-Eazy:
I just tried to flash this rom and got this same error. I tried downloading it directly to my phone through wifi and got the same thing so its not corrupted from usb. I have the correct spl and radio. I'll prob just reflash Ion if I can't get it to work

Any suggestions
[G1 Android Development] georgeli:
Anybody out there with Rogers HTC dream and successfully flash the r2 rom here. Please share how you do that. I try to flash it with no success and I cannot even flash it to RC29 as mention in other thread. Help!
[G1 Android Development] xidominicanoix:
you have to obtain root first on it

i think H is figuring out a way to do so
[G1 Android Development] maxawesome:
Be sure you have rooted your phone and have the right SPL. Without Haykuro's 1.33.2005 SPL, it won't update to this ROM. Also make sure you're using the r2 ROM.

Mine has been rock solid since I got it loaded yesterday afternoon.
[G1 Android Development] B-Eazy:
Have root, Have spl and radio my friend.... no go

did a wipe, still no go
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
I'm really loving this rom. Are you going to update your rom with this fix? Thank you in advance!!
[G1 Android Development] virtudude:
Just a quick note that I've added v2 which includes the "My Location" fix (ie, replacing libhtc_ril.so).
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
Can I still use the old method for apps2sd on this build?

Like the method used here: http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Haykuro_Apps_to_SD
[G1 Android Development] pitecus:
Tmobile IM on this build...

Is there any way I can install Stock IM application on this build?

If so, this build would be the greatest ever.

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] B-Eazy:
I just flashed virtududes rom and all is well. i think something is wrong with a file on haykuro r2 version....

I'll give this rom a once over right now :D
[G1 Android Development] virtudude:
I've been trying all night. It installs, but it never shows up in the launcher. I've never seen anyone get IM working on an HTC build. If anyone knows how, please let me know.
[G1 Android Development] xidominicanoix:
If you really want IM, try the Hi AIM or Hi MSN apps .. they work pretty good
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
where is the spl?
[G1 Android Development] B-Eazy:
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PVT BOARD ON UR G1 or you could be bricked my friend. If you don't know how to check

turn off ur phone

reboot holding camera button

you should see PVT or DVT-2 (i think) somewhere on in the text

you need the radio installed first, its on the page

[G1 Android Development] pitecus:
Thanks but I have question.

Stock IM reads phone number from the SIM, and register it to their server.

So if my phone is not active, it sends SMS to awake and reconnect to the server again.

If phone sleep, 2/3G network connection or WIFI connection will be lost.

Do they lost connection hardly? or alway?
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
thanks, my phone say's DREA21000. is that a problem? it already looks like the engineering spl does, and my radio version is higher numerically than any i've seen mentioned
[G1 Android Development] kylebrodeur:
Would anyone like to post screenshots? Just got comfortable with my build.
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
Does it have any sort of IM application?
[G1 Android Development] froesei:
initial finding is that it's pretty snappy...all the nice htc pieces, vk and dialer. and interestingly enough it includes the rogers apn which I had previously had to input myself manually, but the settings are different than what I'd used before...but both worked.

Has some of the standard rogers extras like their useless online "mall" and things like that.

But wow, seems really quick and smooth.

Thanks Haykuro....
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
Someone please Post Screenshots! Thanks!!:)

I can get adb to work but for some reason DDMS will not work for me!
[G1 Android Development] froesei:
no IM app as far as I can see...rogers phones don't usually come with one. But it does include quick office.

Definitely the fastest most responsive "H" build I've used to date
[G1 Android Development] tato22:
ama flash yay
[G1 Android Development] kitsunisan:
Don't have a need for exchange support, but I know others have been looking forward to it. Having too much fun with Rosie, but just wanted to pay my respects, Haykuro. That is until the mods delete it, of course.
[G1 Android Development] tato22:
pm me i got the hello im apk

what dose this rom have ?

haykuro can u make the hero to work woth out the apps2sd please i know its takes alot of mem
[G1 Android Development] GT30RSUBIE:
Wow i just got done putting Hero on and I love it! Wonder how this compares??
[G1 Android Development] jc1337:
Great job haykuro! Everything is running nice and smoothly for me on this build. But, it has some extra features that I won't really use so I will switch back to your Google Ion. But none the less really nice job. And you got that to us AMAZINGLY fast.

ps. guys this isn't like hero, or not from what I can tell. It is just sapphire with some extra features from what I can tell.
[G1 Android Development] <blank>:
Hot damn. This thing is fast. (relative to the old H builds) runs at about the same speed/stability of JF 1.5 builds as far as i can tell.

things noted so far:

-orange HTC theme (checkmarks, selections, etc)

-appears to have exchange? i dont have an exchange account so can't tell, but mail option is there

-fully working HTC camera and camcorder!

-HTC dialer

-HTC calendar

-quickoffice

-teeter

-PDF viewer

-gallery plays videos just fine

-HTC music app?, although i never noticed a difference between the ADP and HTC music apps, the icon is different...

-no HTC sync, but has an Exchance ActiveSync option. again, i dont have exchange so can't test it for you guys

-has both HTC IME and HTC CIME, which may explain the large /system size ** NEW CIME! now has the long press options on the english keyboard**

other things:

-no superuser permissions app

-some rogers apps (home, shop, ringbacks, ringtones, my account) all seem to link to browser

-no multitouch

locales (listed, untested):

Czech

German

English (Australia)

English (UK)

English (Singapore)

English (Canada)

Spanish

French

Italian

Dutch

Polish

Russian

Chinese (China)

Chinese (Taiwan)

notes:

uses 83108K of /system, so i believe haykuros SPL is needed? (correct me if i'm wrong..)

overall, this looks like a really stable and fast base build for some future development, much more stable and much faster than the ported H builds. everything is working and stable as far as i can tell.
[G1 Android Development] edwin.espino:
Google talk is the only one that I see
[G1 Android Development] rsweepe:
what about apps2sd?
[G1 Android Development] G1-evolve:
Donate to haykuro if you can guys. He is doing so much for us.
[G1 Android Development] ytwytw:
Downloading

Thx!!!

Im in Canada, really need it!
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
apps2sd worked for me using manual system links.. Exchange working here for 2007. Everything else feels perfect as it should since this rom was in fact made for this device.
[G1 Android Development] <blank>:
what do people use to screenshot? i'd take some, but i don't know of any way except via webcam. is there a way via adb?

nvm figured it out. will post soon.
[G1 Android Development] skaflyer:
I'm downloading now and will test out the exchange... I've been waiting for this! I have been running Hero for all day, but I could never keep it with how slow it is. I'll report back on this rom... thanks haykuro!
[G1 Android Development] edwin.espino:
no su

Root is not working in this build
[G1 Android Development] froesei:
Agreed, and blazing fast. Anyone looking for the htc add-ons in a stable, lightning fast rom should give this a shot
[G1 Android Development] B-Eazy:
thats not wats important, u need the part after DREA100. which is PVT or DVT .... DVT is most certainly gonna brick

and u most likely need THAT spl and THAT radio. If u wanna be hasty u may brick ur phone
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
this is true, although this rom is a modded version of the dump from my phone. well another members phone, but i have the canadian rogers dream that this rom originated from. so the radio sure should be correct, i think that if it was available the one i have would be the one being recommended. from what i read in another thread no one has got their hands on it yet as you can't dump it? it's a shame i couldn't just update the rom only since they are the same build etc :(

loader says:

dream pvt 32b ship s-on d

hboot-1.33.0009 (drea21000)

cpld-4

radio-3.22.20.17
[G1 Android Development] media_:
Very nice. Just became my daily driver.

Thanks :D
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
Same for me. Although I had to spruce it up with a new boot splash and the Hero boot gif. ;)
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
Do you have instructions on how to change boot splash!

I tried doing it on ION but wouldn't work. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] smasraum:
I've got Virtudude's ver of this.

So far it seems like the best build that I've tried to date. I like the HTC dialer and call log. Everything seems to work well (can't test exchange support until I go to work tomorrow).

Ah, the only thing that I'm not sure about is apps2sd. I've got to figure out what's going on. I have ext2 on my SD Card and my previous ROM was Cyanogen's 3.3.4, so I think that means that my ext2 has been converted to ext3. I think VD's version is supposed to support ext3. I'm only showing 44MB free which is plenty, but I don't know how to confirm if it's setup and working correctly.

This mod is really fast and working well and I love the HTC apps!

Thanks to all who've made it possible.
[G1 Android Development] Pacothebandit:
I am running this Rom but my phone has already been rooted and all of the above.

Other then the latest radio and SPL does a person with a stock G1 need to gain root access or anything or can they flash the radio, spl then this rom and its that simple.
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
I used this thread for changing the splash screen. Keep in mind that splash2 doesn't work with Steve's SPL.

virtudude, I'm still having a problem with the LocationManagerService. It just refuses to work. I fired up DDMS from the SDK and about every 5 minutes it spits out:

Unable to get Wifi Lock

I'm not using a wireless connection so it looks like it isn't even bothering to check cell location at all. Any idea?

Edit: So I fired up WiFi and boom I get a bunch of messages from LocationMasfClient saying it found a location. Location services work now. Returned log:

Returning network location with accuracy 70.0

I turn off WiFi and it location services fail again. Returned log:

Returning cache location with accuracy -1.0

Also, it keeps spitting up these errors:

SMSReceiverService: <NOT in Rogers area-->

Not sure what that's about.
[G1 Android Development] TemporalShadows:
Well...we don't really know anything about the SPL on the Rogers version of the Dream. It may be similar to the 1.33.2005 version as far as the partition sizes go. If you have adb, run "adb shell df". Here's the output from my G1 running SPL 1.33.2005:

/dev: 49176K total, 0K used, 49176K available (block size 4096)
/sqlite_stmt_journals: 4096K total, 8K used, 4088K available (block size 4096)
/system: 92160K total, 82900K used, 9260K available (block size 4096)
/data: 91904K total, 51932K used, 39972K available (block size 4096)
/cache: 30720K total, 1224K used, 29496K available (block size 4096)
/sdcard: 1979520K total, 535092K used, 1444428K available (block size 4096)

Post that output from yours and we can see how that SPL compares. I'm willing to bet it's similar.

As far as the radio goes...you shouldn't have any need to update it. Nobody knows what the difference is between the G1 and the Rogers radio, but we DO know that they operate on different frequencies, so trying to flash it with other radio images probably wouldn't do good things for you anyway.

As long as you have the room (partition sizes are similar) then you should be able to flash the modded version with no problem as soon as you get it rooted. I think that the DREAIMG.NBH method actually replaces the radio image too, so you probably don't want to do it that way. The method Haykuro posted over in the Sapphire forum should be safe to try though, because it ONLY messes with the recovery.img. I'd be comfortable trying it, anyway. Once you have the modified recovery image on the phone you'll be able to flash whatever build you like.

[G1 Android Development] dakiz71:
Unfortunately I can confirm the choppy video player performance on this r2 rogers build. I was with an original jf1.50 before jumping on rogers rom and now all my mp4 videos are unplayable due to frame rate issues. Of course I made a wipe before installing rogers rom...(actually I made a wipe before installing the new haykuro spl and a wipe before flashing rogers rom).

Moreover I have the feeling that this rom is less optimized than jf 1.50 because sometimes it has some weird slow downs with no reason and sometimes it's definitely faster. Dunno why but it's so...
[G1 Android Development] guybrushtx:
location service

I used libhtc_ril.so included in Haykuro 5.02r5 rom instead of Ion file... With this file you still have the H indication and not only 3G.

And location service works perfectly.
[G1 Android Development] tivchev:
I have also noticed that. Especially when trying to play Nes or Sega roms. They initially run perfect but within 30 secs it all drastically slows down. Whats strange is that the clock in the actual game runs perfectly in spite of the action being really slowed down.

Im pretty sure there were no such issues using say Haykuro's Ion Rom.
[G1 Android Development] funbacon:
I test the second Roger build (RG1) (the first build's released after haykuro post). And I tested the third build (with multi-touch) (RG2)

RG1 very lag, I can't use 2 apps at the same time (music + other app), Youtube is very lag, sound is very bad

RG2 is better, no lag, youtube is good

But both RG1 and RG2 have big problem with build-in video player (just open gallery, open a long video, quit and open again, a panel will be showed. Choose resume, a loading status will show up on your screen and will not disappear)

And RG2 come with Chinese Louder Sound Mod + Junky Buggy Multi-touch. I removed Chinese Louder, but I don't know how to remove Multi-touch
[G1 Android Development] :
Can someone please upload virtdudes v2 signed please as it gives me no signature error when applying thanks
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
Does the location service work with wifi OFF? That's my problem, even with the lib you posted. :(

Yes sure, perfectly, with both edge or 3G.
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
Then I'm at a complete loss as to why my Location service is busted. :(
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:

[G1 Android Development] dwang:
I think its a tmobile issue. My location stopped working since yesterday and it was working fine before.
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
I have and this problem has followed me from ION, to JF, to Hero and still here. If I had hair I'd pull it out because it's completely random. The service will work for a split second over cell maybe 2 to 3 times a day.
