[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolemnWishing:
lol and you bought a Google phone with Google Search built in....

1. It wipes all data on your phone (apps and data, not your firmware)

2. ROM stands for Read Only Memory. Take it as your G1's operating system, like Vista or XP on a computer

3. SPL is pretty much the interface you will be using when flashing an image or using fastboot commands. Be careful when you flash an SPL though, it can potentially brick your phone

4. Just watch out when you flash the SPL, and remember to use Nandroid backups. Installing firmware and applications alone will NEVER brick your phone. Flashing your SPL incorrectly with a corrupted download can, remember to check the MD5 checksums.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidChill:
I know the feeling of total noobness, let me tell you.. Especially if you coming here and reading all the threads for the first because it can be pretty overwhelming. Hopefully I can pass some of my knowledge on to you to kind of, ease your fears.

.:: Answers ::.

1.)If you wipe your phone, your restoring it to factory settings.

2.)ROMS are different versions of the OS that friendly developers such as Haykuro, JesusFreke and Cyanogen put together, to provide different functionalities or the same functionalities just more reliably or in a different way. (The only way you can use a different ROM is by having root access to your phone.)

3.)Secondary Program Loader, typically, a second stage bootloader. Not a term actually used by Qualcomm for msm7k has a more complex boot path involving both CPUs. Initial/secondary program loader is usually in reference to nand/onenand boot setups where you have a very small initial bootloader (1k to 16k typical), that is just enough to load a much larger secondary bootloader. Often there is something that runs first, in-rom, on-die (this is true of omap and msm chips for example) that is responsible for getting the IPL loaded.

4.)I would browse the Android FAQ to find other pieces to the much growing puzzle. I would definitely root your phone though (instructions here), and once your ready, setup your apps2sd (instructions here). If you want, I can help you do your apps2sd too, just hit me up on Gtalk if you want. As for ROMS, if you need help choosing, you can (go here) or if you want a suggestion, i would use Cyanogen's v3.4 ROM because it's an way modified version of JF'sv1.51 but allows you to use the Ext3 format for your apps2sd (which is good).

Hopefully this sheds more light for you, hit me up if you have any other questions.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] wagthesam:
I deleted folders I thought were empty. The shortcuts contained inside were merely contained in ROM so I could not see them. If I can create the folders again the shortcuts will be available again.

Can anyone tell me the default folder structure for the start menu?

Also, I downloaded a manila 2d theme and activated it, but my today screen is still the standard 6.5 mobile today screen. Can anyone help me?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
If you downloaded and installed a Manilla 2D theme but the screen still shows 6.5 - then you need to click on START>Settings>Today and the 2nd tab (items) uncheck the Windows Default and Enable Touchflo

As for deleting folders and the icons within - you deleted them then they are gone -recreating a folder isnt going to recreate an icon within it - best just hard reset and start over if it is important and came in the ROM

Detroit Doug

PS - Issues with a specific ROM should be asked within the thread of the person that created it, you might find your answer there already asked and answered or at least someone will be there to respond rather than out in the general threads
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Reddog80p:
A hard reset will get your phone back to the original state of the latest rom you flashed. So your folders that you accidently deleted will be back. Be sure to back up your contacts, messages, etc. with PIM backup to your storage card. You will need to re-install any cabs you have installed after you do a hard reset.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] haydenis14:
the keyboard on my tilt is broke. the "s" button on it does not work at all. what do you all think?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] darfri:
Well I'm quite sure we all think it is a problem. Anybody, any alternative opinions?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] artie.ale:
same here...

my tilt just stopped working the keypad.... any1 out there could help...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] vernoncomph:
Clean keyboard terminals

hey, you can easily pull out the keyboard of kaiser.. no need to dismantle the unit... just use any precission flat screw.. kaiser keyboard is glued.. be sure you pull up the main pad of the keyboard not a key.. start on the lower part of the keyboard... when your done, clean the contact terminals using a cotton buds with alcohol... clean only the contact terminals.. do not clean the outer part of the terminals so you could maintain the stikiness.. plug again the keyboard and your done!

I always do this on my tilt coz i have exessive swetness in my hands that causes my titl keyboard not to function well..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] GoldenAvatar:
Hi,

I flashed my MDA Compact V to a cooked-ROM.

I forgot to back-up the sounds and wallpapers that were on my Dutch T-Mobile phone.

Anyone out there who could do that for me and pm me?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] .:ZoSo:.:
So I'm on the road yesterday, and I noticed my emails had not downloaded in quite some time. So I decided to try and access the web. WAH WAH WAH. I get an error message saying my connection settings weren't correct. I call Customer Service. After an hour and 5 minutes, I still have nothing fixed. They tell me my SIM card is most likely bad.

Today after I returned home, I decided to do a Google search for "AT&T Tilt Data Connection Settings". Low and behold, this is what I found. http://www.wireless.att.com/answer-center/main.jsp?t=solutionTab&solutionId=KB84444 And it fixed it.

I'm pretty sure it's a common knowledge fix by the vets here. But I'm no vet, and apparently the reps at AT&T aren't either. Perhaps they should add Google to their troubleshooting tools. Anyway, I'm going to leave this here in case someone else ever needs it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] damir-bosna:
i don't know why, but when i'm playing mp3 music or any audio file on my Uni and if i meanwhile turn the camera on, the sound turns louder and a lot clearer.

does anybody have this "problem" too and is it somehow possible to turn this kind of equalizer on all the time, because the sound quality is much better
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsfaze:
use the SEARCH feature as this thread will be locked shortly. Enjoy your stay!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shafty023:
I second that, please use the search feature. You are one of thousands of people who have asked this same exact question. And these questions have been answered numerous times resulting in duplicate threads.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizern23:
1. it erases all of your informations and starts over blank.

2. they are different versions of android that came from different places. there are so many because people will change them to fit their needs and then post them here.

3. i dont know.

4. nothing that you cant search here and find.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizern23:
yall could at least answer the questions and then tell him to search.

did you seriously double post this?

[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
For those that like having backlight on for their keyboard make the following changes on your phone. By default this is not enabled in Haykuro's Hero build.

ADB

adb shell cp /system/lib/hw/lights.msm7k /system/lib/hw/lights.trout.so

adb shell reboot

FROM TERMINAL

cp /system/lib/hw/lights.msm7k /system/lib/hw/lights.trout.so

*since you can't reboot from terminal anymore, go ahead and power down your phone, then turn it back on.

Now you can go Messaging or whatever app, open your keyboard and the backlight works.

FYI, I've sent this fix to JustAnotherCrowd so he has it in his ROM already for those of you that don't want to do this yourself.
[G1 Android Development] Auctionedllama:
It's always worked for me?
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
Which build did you install? It shouldn't have worked in Haykuro's
[G1 Android Development] a1t:
Reboot

just as a quick reference or alternative:

CALL (green) + MENU + END (red)

to reboot. I find it a little bit faster than typing reboot in the emu when you get the muscle memory taken care of.
[G1 Android Development] CashMoney474:
Just did it and it worked great. Thanks.

Does this work for everyone's Hero builds? Cause it doesn't on mine.
[General Topics] MerCiLeSS28:
I'm looking for a today weather plugin that updates via 3G or similar, and keeps it up to date. I love the way Titanium weather looks, but I cant seem to get that to work with my today page since I dont use titanium I hate that weird scroll stuff. I would like one that has a simple one box with today's forecast and current temp. I've tried about 9 of them now, and hated every last one.

Anyone know one that's similar to this with live update through cell internet? One that I can install on my regular today page?:

Or please tell me how to install titanium weather onto my today page? Since i believe tweather is live update?(bottom row is what im looking for)

Edit: I will leave this open, but I do believe what im looking for is "Chome Weather" by the great, NRG

Any other suggestions would be great
[General Topics] MerCiLeSS28:
Actully Chome Weather isnt working either, not showing up in items or on my today screen.
[General Topics] witch1:
I use the Weatherbug plug in. It updates when you want, set it up in tools. And its free.
[General Topics] Farmer Ted:
Look for the 'Weather To Go' plugin. I've used it, and it's very nice. It gives actual forecasts, and the data comes from NOAA. There's an oem for it at ppckitchen.org-you could probably load it just with the oem, but I'm sure you could find a cab somewhere.

Oh, and unlike manila, it has a very good database. The three cities I use are in it-no weather city database editor needed.

Edit: Here's a link to a cab.
[General Topics] galaxys:
I second Weatherbug plug...it's accurate, configuable, memory lite, and can display temp on top task bar!
[General Topics] MerCiLeSS28:
Version Number/Name or .cab? I have about 3 weatherbug plugins now, trying weatherbug direct as we speak.

Edit, WeatherBug direct wont show on my today screen, what gives?

Installed it to device not card, ran Setting.exe.... still nothing =/ even soft reset.
[General Topics] galaxys:
Version 2.2.0 go to Options>Settings>General Settings >Display Options>Show All>Done
[General Topics] MerCiLeSS28:
Unfortunately that did nothing, i dont even see a .exe for the program, just the setup.exe
[General Topics] galaxys:
You need to tap or select the bug plugin on the Today screen to see the dropdown with options & settings!
[General Topics] MerCiLeSS28:
Right, but there was absolutely no additions on my screen. I tried it all again, install weatherbug, reset, settings.exe yaddy yadda, reset, today menu (nothing) start menu (nothing) today screen (nothing) only place i can even tell it's installed is add/remove programs. Maybe it's conflicting with my energy 6 12?
[General Topics] galaxys:
Wierd that in your Settings >Today >Items, you can't click on or find "weather bug direct' item?
[General Topics] MerCiLeSS28:
Nope, doesnt exist.
[Off-topic] Geniusdog254:
Haha I got this in bluetooth from a buddy of mine. I've attached it. Its called "The *****slap" and it is great. I had to share this with you guys, so here you go lol.

P.S. The file is zipped since mp3's rnt allowed

EDIT: haha shoot i thought i attached it, sry should b fixed now

EDIT 2: Lol can nvr figure this forum out but it all worked for me, heres the one that should work for all, the mp3 is in the zip. no renaming just open lol
[Off-topic] kareeem:
A link or attatchment would be nice ;)

edit: still doesn't work after renaming.
[Off-topic] aaron11193:
Did you try unzipping it?
[Off-topic] mbarvian:
haha good point but the voice ruins it :(
[Off-topic] Link278:
LMAO that was pretty good, I wouldn't use it as my ringtone because it would get annoying, but its funny to show people.
[Off-topic] mbarvian:
alright, I just lowered the voice so now it sounds a LOT better :)
[Off-topic] galaxys:
That's better sounding and pretty funny, but wouldn't use it as my ringtone.
[Off-topic] Link278:
That does sound better but I think the high pitched voice helped make it funny, but it is less annoying now, however I still am not going to use that as my ringtone lol :rolleyes:
[Off-topic] smarrty:
I can't find much fun in these 2 ring tones.

If we search google, we can find much more good funny tones.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tagazok:
Hello.

I discovered Mirability but unfortunatly, I am a student and I just can't buy it.

(If author read this, congratulation, it looks amazing).

Anyway, does somebody knows an alternate way to have the same result?

Thx and hope my english is not so bad :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fraudulent:
I would have a look at Fluid.

Fluid has many similarities, it looks great and it's free. The downside is that there is no real design time support in Visual Studio, there are no controls in the toolbox to drag to the form in order to design the layout. You have to design the screen with code, which means you'll only know the result by looking at the device emulator.

Check it out, have fun and good luck with your projects!

I don't see ADB Interface in Device Manager or under Universal Serial Bus Controllers.
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
nah under Universal Serial Bus Controllers

right click on each one

go to properties

click on details tab

change the drop down to "Compatible Ids"

It has to say something like:

USB\Class_ff&SubClass_42&Prot_01

USB\Class_ff&SubClass_42

USB\Class_ff

Something really close to that

if you find that one then thats it

update that driver
[Android Themes] r_dub:
No you said this thread should be deleted so idk what that was about?
[Android Themes] _Kyros_:
I found one that was close (USB Composite Device) clicked Update Driver chose Include this location in the search which was C:\SDK\usb_driver\x86 hit Next then it said The wizard could not find a better match for your hardware than the software you currently have installed.
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
try uninstalling the driver and then reinstalling

also: do you have haykuro's spl? because he uses different drivers
[Android Themes] _Kyros_:
No I haven't upgraded the SPL since I downgraded to RC29 and Rooted. I'll try uninstalling the driver to see what happens.
[Android Themes] r_dub:
Alright people the special 36 hour release of the special edition of clock 5 is up have at it :cool:
[Android Themes] kitsunisan:
No, no, look back, I said delete POST! Not the thread, the thread is great. I made a post, but got rid of it, but there isn't a way to delete your own post. Sorry if you misunderstood, I really like what's been done in the thread.
[Android Themes] _Kyros_:
Woops!:eek: That Driver was for my wireless keyboard and mouse, definitely need that.
[Android Themes] parmijo11:
special edition clock 5

Very nice. And there were 0 downloads when I got it. Go figure. You guys have done a great job. Thank you very much.
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
make sure u get the right one! lol
[Android Themes] _Kyros_:
Your not going to believe this xidominicanoix, I just downloaded Special Edition Clock 5 and decided to be a Dare Devil and renamed it to update.zip. I put in my SD card and powered off my phone and then on into JF's Recovery 1.43 and I hit alt s...update went through rebooted added widget and Big Bang Attack! Special Edition Clock 5 was on my Home screen (Which looks crazy official by the way) I thought you couldn't add the clocks this way? Now I'm gonna try every clock that I like and just keep them in a folder like Hero Clocks and then switch between them with ASTRO. We here all breaking are heads especially you...but thanks for all your help man forreal though.
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
yea that was the original way of using them .. but it requires a reboot EVERY SINGLE TIME ... i knew how to do it thru adb push so i made the CWS program so others could do it as well without reboot ;) but no problem again ... you should really try gettin adb to work cuz its extremely useful :D
[Android Themes] chrisag92:
thank i worked hard on that clock 4 u guys :cool:
[Android Themes] _Kyros_:
Oh I didn't know that but now I do and yea I'll try to get it working I'm gonna do some more deep searching.
[Android Themes] DAKIDD236:
i dont understand how to use your program, on the first page of this tread it say click on clockwidget.exe but there is only one with .exe and i cant click it because it says some files are missing
[Android Themes] _Kyros_:
Yea great work to all of you guys. That Special Edition Clock 3 would look official with Rusty Metal if it was ported.
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
Its called: ClockWidgetSwitcher.exe

try it again and lemme know if it still doesnt work for you
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
awesome awesome job on the Special Edition Clocks :D

(hope to see more ;))
[Android Themes] DAKIDD236:
i see clockwidgetswitcher.exe.manifest, not clockwidgetswitcher.exe
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
i just downloaded the file and its definitely there

what could be happening is that you have "Hide known file extensions" on

in that case look for ClockWidgetSwitcher
[Android Themes] r_dub:
You guys need to thank chrisag92 for special editon clock 5 and you were luckly to get special editon clcok 5 I serisouly doubt you'll be getting another one so let's not get to greedy here okay
[Android Themes] r_dub:
Wow if you read my op ie main post this is the way its supposted to be done xidominicanoix has made it much much easier to do but the rename it update way is not risky no one has bricked their phone doing this yet LOL (- -,)
[Android Themes] nahanee20:
will this work on a non rooted phone? i have 1.5.
[Android Themes] r_dub:
No you have to have recovey which regular 1.5 does not have if your a mem of this forum how have u not rooted its well worth it in my opinion
[Android Themes] _Kyros_:
When I said "Yea great work to all you guys" I was talking about chrisag92, xidominicanoix for the program/help and you (besides he already acknowledged my thanks in pg. 20 post 194) and when I mentioned that the S.E. Clock 3 would look official with the Rusty Metal theme I was simply noticing that chrisag92 had it in his Avatar and that if someone ported that theme it would make a nice addition to his clock in no way did I ask for it so no greediness here.

This is my fault because I thought when you said "push it through" I thought you ment ADB push which is one of the reasons why xidominicanoix was trying to help me get ADB to work. :D
[Android Themes] r_dub:
Oh sorry i though you wanted a clock with rusted metal gears i misunderstood what you had said

Glad that was cleared up pushing an update through commonly means renaming it update.zip then pushing it through using alt+s
[Android Themes] tribalb:
Big thanks to you guys making these clocks possible for everyone. I'm sporting the clock #5 SE and loving it. Thanks again
[Android Themes] r_dub:
Glad you like it I would download it again to have a backup because like I said in my OP onces its gone its gone for good
[Android Themes] punkweakling:
WTF??? These are ripped straight from the Rosie UI leak. Why would he need your permission? And since he was polite enough to ask why would you say no? LOL
[Android Themes] r_dub:
Because we made them avilable and useable for other people I understand your question and let me ask you one how would you like it if someone used something you work on with without asking you if they could use it? Also keep it relevent this is from a while back please keep the thread on topic
[Android Themes] chrisag92:
because we will try 2 make our own widget for all clocks 2 for multiple support later on in the future

and we took the png's to make it possible for them to b used on cupcake. so please dnt came at us like that. also yes keep this on topic
[Android Themes] chrisrj28:
So I tried this on the JACMan's Hero build and it failed. If you're wondering why I tried' it's b/c I love the way the clocks look but I hate the fact that they lag Rosie really badly. Is there a way I can use these on Hero/Rosie?
[Android Themes] chrisag92:
i dont see y you would need them, they are all in the rom but better verzions
[Android Themes] r_dub:
Yeah idk what your asking if your using hero these are alresay there if your using another build then they should work
[Android Themes] munnabhai13:
i m also having problem installing them on SuperHero v2. I know that they are already built in to Rosie UI, but using them makes the Rosie lag. The clocks are HTC Widget not Google Widget. The Analog Clock is a Google Widget and it does not make Rosie lag, so I am also trying to find a way to change the Google Analog Clock, but it fails each time and I have tried couple different methods
[Android Themes] parmijo11:

The 2x2 version of clock 4 won't download. Any idea why?
