Hi guys, n00b here.

Having successfully done a few things to my G1 with the help of this forum I thought Id give this mod...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4926849#post4926849

...a go as it would be very very useful to me.

Got past this stage....

and noticed my phone had crashed (was still responding to adb commands, just frozen on the screen)? rebooted it by removing the battery and it sits at the G1 logo.

Rebooted into recovery (does this fine) and reflashed the Last cyanogen rom (Im running cyanogen 4.2.5)

reboot again and it just sits at the g1 logo no matter how long you leave it :(

rebooted again, tried a factory reset and then reflashed cyanogen, STILL sits at the g1 logo.

Im at a loss as to what Ive done wrong. Any help?

Sorry if this is in the wrong place! :(

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colonelk:
Hi there, thanks for the prompt advice. Im not sure how to go about doing this?

EDIT: ok found details on clearing the ext3 partition (with the cache etc on it) then reflashed cyanogen and rebooted.

Still hangs on G1.

I was looking back through what I typed into the adb commands and noticed this......

adb shell find /system /data -o -name \*google\*maps.apk "|" xargs rm

where I should of typed this (provided line)

adb shell find /system /data -name \*google\*maps.apk\* -o -name Maps.apk "|" xargs rm

Im feeling like a total idiot, how the hell did I get that wrong?!?!?!

Anyhow, Im guessing this is the source of my issues. any more help?

EDIT 2:

Ok guessed I basically deleted or messed with anything important with google in the title. So reinstalled the google apps (gapps_signed.zip), rebooted, hung, rebooted into recovery, wiped.... and now have a working phone! yay!

Just gotta work out how to put cyanogen back on now!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cobra281:
this problem happened once in awhile before when i had jf v1.1, but now after going cyanogenmod 4.2.5(v1.6 of google), it seems to have gotten worse. basically, several times a day, my phone would just stop responding, both the touch screen and keyboard. eventually, the screen would turn black, and nothing would work. i would have to pull the battery, put it back in, and turn it on, in order to get the phone working again. it happens again after doing that anyhow, sometimes.

what could the problem be? i did a wipe before installing cyanogen, also, so it can't be that.

and how do you calibrate the battery? i have the 'new, updated' battery that i got from t-mobile not too long ago, and i let the phone die out completely before recharging overnight, but the battery life is still not calibrated properly. i remember reading about a file that you have to erase, how do i get to it and where is it?

Ok, so I understand what the SPL is and how it works. I read all morning and did a couple of searches. now here is what happened.

I decided I wanted to try a hero rom and I got the 1.33.2005 SPL. I flashed this and all was successful. I flashed the Sensehero rom and it ran beautifuly. but then I noticed that there was no indicator for apps to SD, prolly something I missed, not sure. So I noticed i only had 20 megs of internal memory. Well needless to say I did not like this at all. So i did a nandroid restore, which bumped me back a little. But thats Ok. I had Apps2SD, still showing 20 megs of internal, but no secondary storage showing and it was acting a little weird after the restore. So I completely wiped it, Dalvik, EXt, Data/Factory. Reflashed 4.2.7.1. Rebooted, and then repaired the ext file systems. When I was all done I had 85 megs of free internal space. Thats way more than i had before.

So thats my story. But here is my question.

Are their different Haykuro SPLs? I see them mentioned as Haykuro, DEATH or DANGER. Are these all the same or are they different? If they are different, what would be the difference?:confused:

I am no noob but am by no sense a 1337. i don't program or develop or anything cool like that. But i am a great help desk. I can follow tutorials and instructions great. I have rooted about 15 G1 and myTouch phones and I have not bricked one yet.

Help! Merging Cyanogen latest (4.2.7.1) with htc image

I really just need to know if it is a good idea. I haven't really done this before, but I do have SignApk and the appropriate update.zips.

Basically what I want to do is combine each latest Cyanogen with the original HTC image so that I can basically do what we did back before the Google C&D situation. Also, I just updated the maps.apk in the HTC build so I thought why not go ahead and combine everything together?

So, any input is very much appreciated!

itransmogrify

I have recently come off of using an iphone and started using the dream and was wondering if it was possible to port itransmogrify to the dream. I am posting this because I here so much complaining about lack of flash support and wondered if this could be a possible solution to the problem. I am well aware that this is far from full flash support but I found myself constantly using it on the iphone and to say the least it is very convenient to have. Here is the link to the itransmogrify website http://joemaller.com/2008/1/12/itransmogrify/.

Please do not flame me if this is not useful or if it needs to be posted somewhere else if it already is posted somewhere else I am simply trying to help the community out by showing the developers something they may not have previously been aware of. I really hope this helps.

i'm not sure what kind of PC you have, but without a new graphics card or monitor you cannot increase resolution by simply changing drivers .. resolution is a hardware change
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsky25:
I know that you need new hardware, but I'm asking if it's capable but just hasn't been implemented, like the multi touch feature. You can have a good graphics card and monitor but without the right drivers you don't get the full benefits, as I'm sure you know. Sometimes you need to download and install the correct ones to get the most of out of it.

Okay I need some quick and most likely easy help. I recently rooted my phone and installed Cyanogen 4.2.9.1. I reread the installation instructions today for S&G and noticed I missed one of the instructions in step nine on THIS page.

"If you used the Defanged DRC83, you need to manually install the ota-radio-2... just like the first two updates."

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LucidREM:
that is inconclusive .. what is the expectation? a few key things that will make a difference .. what build you use .. which method of app2SD you use (symlink/unionfs) .. whether you moved only the app folder or if you also moved data and dalvik-cache as well .. the only thing we know at the moment is you have 60/74M available on the phone
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1sanju:
Some of these apps are required by the system. Like Google talk, its not advisable to remove it as Market needs that app.

For others like Mp3 store, spare parts, if you have an setup of ADB then use that.

And yes you have to do that each time you flash a new rom. (If you know the applications then you can create a script and run it each time you flash a new rom.)
