Ok guys,

I have the newest version of CyanogenMod installed on my G1 ... 2GB SD, class 2. I just bought a Class 6 8GB SDHC.

How would I migrate to the new SD card? I've already partitioned it 1.45GB to EXT2, the rest to FAT32, per instructions. I intend on using Apps2SD.

Searching for a thread that addresses this hasn't yielded any results.

Thanks in advance..

Changing MicroSD

there's no easy way to do this with Microbust Windows .. if you get your hands on linux is pretty simple .. copy the files to the desktop and then back to the new card from within Terminal .. create two folders on the desktop as sdd1/sdd2:

# cp -a <sd_part1>/* <desktop>/sdd1

# cp -a <sd_part2>/* <desktop>/sdd2

switch cards:

# cp -a <desktop>/sdd1/* <sd_part1>

# cp -a <desktop>/sdd2/* <sd_part2>

the desktop and sdcard references are relative to your machine

sim card wont read in phone

OKAY so somehow in my pocket yesterday my g1 decided to go to the WHITE SCREEN WITH THE ANDROIDS ON THE SKATEBOARDS... so I popped the battery out and restarted my phone only to discover... my sim card now wont read in the phone. Ive tried everything I can get it back to home it boots but now it WILL NOT RECOGNIZE my sim card, TMOBILE SIM BTW, nor will it charge while at the home screen, only charges in the off position.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LucidREM:
[HOWTO]

if you cannot sign-in to gmail it could be your data connection .. try this:

REGISTER (NO DATA PLAN w/ WIFI)

ON YOUR G1

1. <enter>setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1<enter>

ON YOUR PC (w/SDK INSTALLED)

1. C:\> adb shell

2. # am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings

this brings up the wifi settings so you can connect via wifi

I lost Data connectivity to Rogers network and can not activate GPS.

UPDATE - some answers found, some still need answered

I know these have all been mentioned before in through various threads but I can't find a simple place with all the answers. I haven't partitioned my sdcard since back at JesusFreke 1.4 but I know that I have a fat partition, ext part, and swap partition. I'm using cyanogen's latest mod, and I want to know the shell commands to:

1) check the size of all of my partitions - ???????

2) check whether swap is enabled - check userinit.sh file in /system/sd and see if its enabled (if it doesn't exist its not enabled), alternatively disable compcache in spare parts and type "free" in console, check swap

3) check what size the swap is configured to use - check swappiness in userinit.sh file or adjust it using swapper or droidswap

4) change the swap size (not the parition, just the setting) - adjust swappiness in userinit, or adjust using swapper

5) see how much of my swap file is currently in use - type "free" in console

6) which seems to perform better for basic tasks such as web browsing and checking gmail, compcache or swap, or both?

can anyone list these commands in one easy to view place? Thank you.

Question on porting 32A sapphire rom to 32B dream

Hi all,

Hopefully I'm asking this in the correct place, and if answered, I will change my font to green and all.

Question: I am porting a 1.5 hero rom from the sapphire android development section to my G1 and everything works great, however the USB debugging is not showing up and the option to mount sometimes doesn't always show up. Typically after a reboot the mount option shows though. It recognizes that it is charging and such. I wanted to know which files to push from to make these work (I am assuming that they are either /system/lib or /system/bin files.)

Thank you all for your time and efforts. :o

But updating is good, it just gets better (usually). But the latest rom is quite stable and will last you for awhile if you don't feel like upgrading. Easy to update also, doesn't require any special radio or things of that sort.

ERIS leak PINCHED DESKTOP OVERVIEW to donut rom?

or whatever you call it.

Im no developper here, so this might be very a noob question with a very obvious answer.

Any chance to get from the recent eris dump the desktop/launcher app which allow you to pinch the screen to get an overview of all your desktop?

I think most htc widgets suck for the simple reason they are too big / not easily skinable and because the pure serie from knoxx does better. However Im a real big fan of the pinch thingy.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BolecDST:
I always wipe. I'm not new to Android. This is why I wrote that it was probably only me having this problem. Maybe it was some of the apps I installed, but then I uninstalled all of them and it didn't help. Camera was force closing about 2 or 3 seconds after booting/loading. I'm using my G1 since almost a year now and I rooted it right when I bought it. It was even before "one-click-root" came out.

Another thing.. Today on Giveaway of the Day they have an interesting application. Click. Do you think that I could use this software to sign the zip files/apk's?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redd12345:
You may want to try "Home++" on the market. If you have trouble downloading, get Market Enabler. When running Home++, if you long press the "Menu" button, it will bring up your active screens much like the pinch option. It is highly unlikely that the pinch function would be incorporated into a donut rom, but this may hold you over until then.

Hope this helps.

Thanks but Im not too keen on the bottom short cut, I like a good themed advanced launcher. The home feature's good though.

Did you flash a different recovery image? Amon Ra's perhaps?

BTW, Hero roms require an EXT 4 partition. If you don't know what that is, then you shouldn't be flashing roms....especially hero roms which tend to be the most fickle. Also, you need a different spl in order to use hero roms.

Do you have the stock SPL?

If you don't know what EXT4 is and you don't know what SPL is, then you should read more before flashing.

I wanted to ask about my rom flashing practices. I use the latest Amon-Ra recovery. From the wipe menu, I run every item (what are rotate settings anyway?) from top to bottom, wiping everything. Then I flash whatever. Then I go to the console and run a script:

sh /sdcard/hacks/hack!

#!/system/bin/sh
cp -v -f /sdcard/hacks/meltusquality/Audio* /system/etc/
chmod 644 /system/etc/Audio*
cp -v -f /sdcard/hacks/tones/insanity.ogg /system/media/audio/ringtones/

cp -v -f /sdcard/hacks/tones/YanniChariotsofFire.ogg /system/media/audio/alarms

umount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
e2fsck -fccpDC0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
echo Hacked.

The script copies over a couple of ringtones, and a meltus audio hack, then runs a filesystem check on my apps2sd partition. At this point I usually just type in reboot from the console. Is this good practice, or should I first boot into the rom once before I go back into recovery and run my script? I am a bit of an android noob, so maybe I am missing some points somewhere… I haven’t had any problems with it so far, but I wanted to get some thoughts.
