Ok... here is my status

My laptop has no internet access so i have downloaded most of the files i need with my g1, only the recovery image is left.

I have no clue how to work or even execute the tether app i downloaded.

I am running rc29 which as far as i can tell has root access.

I cannot install busybox, i have spent the last 2 hours trying.

My only past experiance with unix was a few months of ubuntu, so i am an idiot with the terminal.

Questions:

If i download cyanogens recovery 1.4 image by saving the link with the browser can i rename it from .asc to .img and have it work? (searching and asking in the dedicated thread failed me)

How do i use the Tether 1.5.1? i installed it but thats as far as ive gotten.

Do i need Hard SPL if i use cyanogensmod 3.6.8.1 and cyanogens recovery1.4 img?

Also i searched for the answers for all these questions already, i just wasnt satisfied with what little data i found. Soooo.... can you help me?

htc hero apps

I haven't found this anywhere else.

I don't understand why you can't install the apps from the htc hero on jf or some other build. I am sure it has something to do with the androidmanifest.xml file. It obviously looks for the build before it will install, but why can't we change the required version in the .apk file, or even spoof another build to appear that hero rom is installed? As far as I can tell, flash player doesn't require anything of the rosie UI, so why couldn't there be a workaround to install it and the browser?

I don't know enough about code to get this done, but maybe someone else who does can. As it is now, while typing on the vk, if the screen auto rotates you have to reopen the vk to resume typing. This is one of my few beefs with the vk, but it sure would be nice to see a fix.

Hello everyone! This is my first post in this forum,... I was a symbian user till 3 days ago when I bought a T-Mobile G1 phone. I know evrything about hack on symbian, but in android I have some questions to you. First of all, my phone is:

Kernel version: 2.6.27-00393-G6607056 san@sandroid #1

Build number: CRC1

I want to know:

1) what is root? I saw some posts and where was wrote to downgrade your phone, this means to downgrade firmware 1.5 or something else? Can I root my firmware 1.5? Or after I downgrade and root it, if I upgrade to 1.5 iy will be also rooted?

2) What is rom for? Which is the best usual rom in your opinion? If I change the rom my G1 will support multi-touch?

3) which is the best file manager you think?

4) Is there any application for G1 to make calls via wifi using skype or google talk?

5) What is recovery?

6) what is |Spl for?

7) whhat is radio?

8) why is necessary to create different partititions on Sd card? What is each partition for?

This are my questions. Sorrt but I'm new on android os. Any answer is wellcome! Thank you!

Question/Clarification on replacing SD card on rooted phone.

Hi Folks,

I recently rooted my phone using Soulife's Rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=523608 & using these instructions http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=533731

The part I'm confused with is if I wanted to repartion or replace my sd card later on with a better on. Are there some simple instructions that explain this? I think the reason I'm confused is that the instructions i followed said to partition the card then install the radio/spl, so would I need to redo the radio/spl when updating the sd card?

I did find this, but not sure if this is what I would want to use. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=535232

Also i've read the most space you want to use for the ext partition was 500 megs up to 600 megs.. What is the reason for this, besides most apps are very small & by the time you even come close to hitting the 500 megs you would have a few hundred apps installed if not more?

Thanks

Partition Troubles?

you cannot be sure it is the OS .. if you are saying the phone has been completely wiped clean and you started over from RC29 and it will not read the card after the phone boots then i would start looking at the card itself .. if you are not able to flash anything from the card at all then i would start looking at the hardware being flawed

SUGGESTION: if you can read the card from the bootloader and get to RC29 then try reading the card .. if it does not read then it is a problem with the card most likely .. just because it reads on a PC does not mean there nothing wrong with it

ALTERNATIVE: try a different card

With the addition of the danger (haykuro) SPL that is not included in that post. The danger SPL is needed to run hero roms. SPL stands for secondary program loader in case that is not covered in the attached thread link. Since you have the danger SPL already, there is no need to really ever touch your SPL again. You already successfully flashed it which was the hard part and where most people make the mistake. Since your already there, you can forget about it. Scary SPL probably refers to the danger SPL (haykuro's) but hardSPL is the modified engineering SPL by cmonex as outlined in the above thread link.

Changing from JF to CM

Hi everyone,

I've been reading up and I think I've found the answers to most of my questions, but I'd just like clarification to make sure I've got it all right before I go ahead and install CyanogenMod 4.0.2.

I'm on JF 1.51 UK at the moment - I rooted my G1 following Koush's guide (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=442480), and since reading about JF calling time on his ROMs, I've decided to change to Cyanogen's ones. I've been searching and reading through this forum, and I think that all I need to do to install CyanogenMod is stick a copy on the root of my sd card, then load up in recovery mode and do alt+w and alt+s? Am I right?

Reading cyanogen's post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=537204) I saw that he has links to a radio update and also to his recovery image. I would like his recovery image, since it seems to be the better one to have, but I was wondering, do I need to install it via the terminal on JF 1.51 before I install his rom, or do I do it once I have CM?

Another question, do I need to install the radio update? I couldn't find the answer by searching, all I could find were people who had problems with it..

And last question, at the moment, I have a partitioned FAT32/ext2 8gb sd card which I was running apps2sd on. I've uninstalled apps2sd because it's meant to break your system if you try and run it on cyanogenmod. Will I need to reformat and then repartition my card before installing cyanogenmod, or can I just go and install without bothering reformatting? I haven't deleted any stuff off my SD card yet, but I can (I've done a MyBackup Pro backup).

Sorry about all the questions, I thought it was better to post them all here than start a new thread.

Thanks in advance guys :)

Hangs at boot, no fastboot, no recovery = bricked?

My phone hangs at the Rogers screen, cannot recovery boot via Home + Power, cannot fastboot via Camera + Power and cannot be communicated with via adb (as far as I can tell, tried a few commands). Someone on the forum said that if I am hanging at the Rogers screen, I am NOT bricked. Can anyone confirm that, and tell me where to go from here?

UPDATE: It's too bad I didn't get an answer to that, but I have a new question:

How long do I have to wait after I select "Apply update.zip" from the recovery menu? I did this last night and the phone hung at the Rogers screen for about 10 minutes before I decided to take the battery out, leaving it a brick (unable to get past Rogers screen, as described above). I took the phone back under warranty and will be getting a new one on Wednesday. I want to try again, but only if I can figure out what went wrong.

Also, can anyone confirm that the Recovery Flasher does not work on Rogers phones? I tried it over and over to no avail.

Moreover, this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=551569 is by someone with the same problem as me. Could this indicate:

That Rogers is using new software in their phones that makes the guide obsolete?

Emergency Dialer issues

Ok, I've got a weird one. Perhaps someone can help out. Right now it's just mostly annoying.

I have two G1 (Dream) phones, one I use as my main phone and one I use as a development/play phone. I just updated/flashed the latest JAC 1.6r2a rom. I used my regular sim card to sync/provision my phone. I plan on using WiFi and not connect to a GSM network. So I removed my sim card and enabled WiFi. It complains about not having a sim card and brings up the emergency dialer. I did a fancy trick to make it so I could enable airplane mode and still have WiFi and bluetooth running by updating the database as follows:

sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

"INSERT INTO system (name, value) VALUES

('airplane_mode_radios','cell');"

[default was ('airplane_mode_radios', 'cell,wifi,bluetooth')]

So now I'm able to run my phone in airplane mode with WiFi enabled.

If I have WiFi enabled, Airplane mode enabled, and insert my sim card, boot up. Shutdown, remove sim card, boot up... I get exactly what I want. No nagging or emergency dialer. Just lets me know that I'm in airplane mode. Now when I turn off airplane mode, and then re-enable airplane mode... Every time I unlock my phone, it brings up the emergency dialer. Now it's easy to cancel, but it's annoying.

So, question I've got... I have yet to find a way to disable the emergency dialer when no sim card is inserted in the phone. Is this possible? I would figure that it might be since it never comes up when I boot with airplane mode enabled.

Ideas, thoughts? TIA
