Consider this done my friend.

Also, with our G1's... CompCache is a almost a way of life now. Your SPL is good, but your memory not good enough. Compcache on this build is very stable, Just FYI.

You should go for the BETA-1.5.1, it will likely hit stable *as is*, it makes things very stable in terms of Apps2SD and Data2SD.

But either way, I'll break ground on CIFS & FUSE (BTW UNIONFS is built into the kernel, no modules).

I will either update OP and/or PM you with details when ready.

~enom~

PS. ... I'm using the Debian on my ext3 also. ;)
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Definitely 1.5.1, much more stable. In fact, it's the 1st BETA that might actually go STABLE *as is*. v1.4.2, has some minor issues, I'd go straight for 1.5.1.

I installed the base not the expansion pack yet. It does not rotate (I checked rotate in settings). Don't think the expansion pack would make it rotate.

Is it possible the launcher would?

not sure what to do.

Dave
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
I HIGHLY DOUBT the launcher would do it

Tell ya what.

I'll ask Cyanogen personally. I know he got a MyTouch himself and b/c he port cm-3.9.10 and beyond to MyTouch. Like I said before Dave, I have no clue here, b/c I lack the actual MyTouch hardware.

All I can do is ask him and see what the requirements/differences are. I'm sure they are minor, but still significant. I will have to have to ask a dev with a MyTouch, and I' can't think of another more qualified than Cyanogen.

If he can give me some clear guidance on this, I'm sure there's something that can be worked out. *And I'm sure he can give clear guidance, b/c that's what he does ;) *

I'm sure he's out of pocket at this hour, I will try to get with him tomorrow and let you know.

Till then, if you can deal with it, just hang tight on the v1.5.1 and I'll be back soon on the thread or by PM.

Let me know!

...

I have a problem with install VSAPP's. I create a directory named epvsapps on my sdcard and put "htcime_vsapp.zip" in that directory. It says on terminal:

-virtual system-apps2sd requires a mounted ext2 type partion

-currently your system is configured to mount (dev/block/mmcblck0p2)on

(system/sd)

-please ensure you have instealled a valid ext2 type partition on your

sdcard

As explained in first post i can use fat32 partition.(I have only fat32). So what will be the problem?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
vsapp's not for the "mini" - manual install procedure

Hi plastikq,

Yeah it should probably explained better in the first post, part of the "mini" install when you have no ext2/ext3 partition is the lack of vsapp's. The reason this is so, is b/c of the extreme lack of space on /data, when no ext2/ext3 partition is present. /system is already maxed on this build, so /data is the only place left to go. Now, in the "mini" version you get ~63MB out-of-the-box.

So this is why the vsapp installer halts when you don't have an ext2/ext3 partition, b/c it's trying to save your available space.

That said ...

Here is a manual way to install the vsapp in the "mini" version. First, for the HTC_IME, you're going to need roughly 4.7MB free on your /data partition. If you have this space (and are willing to sacrifice it for the HTC_IME then here is the procedure.

Copy the htcime_vsapp.zip to /sdcard/epvsapps (like you did before).

Open the TerminalApp and run the following commands (lot of manual commands here, this is essentially what the vsapp installer is doing in the backgound) ...

su
cd /sdcard/epvsapps
busybox rm -rf inst.tmp
busybox mkdir inst.tmp
busybox mkdir /data/expstick/vsapps
cd inst.tmp
busybox unzip ../htcime_vsapp.zip
cd system
busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
busybox cp app/* /data/expstick/vsapps
busybox cp lib/* /data/expstick/lib
busybox ln -s /data/expstick/vsapps/Clicker.apk /system/app/Clicker.apk
busybox ln -s /data/expstick/vsapps/HTC_IME.apk /system/app/HTC_IME.apk
busybox ln -s /data/expstick/lib/libt9.so /system/lib/libt9.so
exit
exit

Reboot your phone. That will install the HTC_IME manually.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] leiko49:
OK let me know.

I may be needing to send it back to tmo, maybe hardware problem...

In which case, (did not use nandroid to back up original hard drive) will be looking for

1. directions to unroot so my warranty not voided

2. files to unroot.

Would this be possible, should there be not software solution?

Dave
[G1 Android Development] plastikq:
thanks for instructions.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
That's a good question about the hardware. Did auto-rotate ever work on other builds?

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] leiko49:
enom,

When I first got the phone it worked.

at some point it stopped working, maybe after it fell on my rug (a pretty soft drop)

I have found in forums the sensor is vulnerable to that (as would be the entire workings), but this phone is a bit slippery (got to get one of those rubbery casings.)

I think its unlikely a software question, but if I get my phone back to original factory software (e.g. unroot it) would be one way to find out.

I would also be willing to try out a software solution if you and C. want to use me as a guinea pig.:rolleyes:

Perhaps before looking for a complicated software solution, it would be simpler to first go back to factory condition. Then if the rotate works, reinstall your program and look for a software fix I would imagine would be helpful for Mytouch development purposes.

A started a new thread for unrooting the mytouch. Hopefully, its an appropriate thread.

If you are clear on the method, perhaps post it there for others as well.

I am looking for directions on "Go into recovery, drop to console, "mount /data", then "rm /data/misc/akmd* /data/misc/rild*" and reboot"

I assume that would be through the phone, not adb on my computer.

I press home and power to go into recovery mode.

I only have found g1 directions to drop to console with the keypad.

If you could help on guidance with the rest would be appreciated. How to drop to console, mount/data, how to input rm/data/misc/akmd, etc without a keyboard.

I appreciate the Dohctor's input. I have been looking for days for the answer to my questions, reading through many pages and pages of endless data. My wife thinks I'm lazy too, but that's because the garbage is waiting for me to take to the alley.:D

DAve
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
MyTouch, mright

ewwwwwwwww ohhhhhhhhh

That's right, you got a mytouch ... so no keyboard, right?

So another way is to boot into recovery (Home+Power) and run the same commands through adb on your computer.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] leiko49:
I am not sure the details of how to run these commands through adb

I have my phone in recovery, plugged into computer, have the cmd.exe window up in the directory where my adb tools are located c:\tools

1. How do I "drop to console"

2. how do I mount/data

3. how do I input "rm /data/misc/akmd* /data/misc/rild

Thanks again.

Dave
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
I assume you have the SDK downloaded and unpacked/installed and you have a vague understanding of adb?

if so

adb shell

Will get you into the console.

Let me know.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] leiko49:
yes, I figured that a while ago. When I typed in to the adb shell at #

rm /data/misc/akmd* /data/misc/rild

I got the following message

rm /data/misc/akmd* /data/misc/rild

rm: cannot remove ' /data/misc/akmd* :no such file or directory

rm: cannot remove ' /data/misc/rild* /data/misc/rild' : No such file or directory

Perhaps there is a command I am supposed to place before the

rm /data/misc/akmd* /data/misc/rild

or the directory for the data is different in g2 from g1 (the original directions pointed out by DOHctor was for the G1).

Lost Maps - I'm not to good at this.

I lost my Maps when upgrading to new version of Donut (TMO 2.1.2) and need to do this; thanks. I'm not a programmer so I have a couple questions before I try this. My questions per your steps. . .

1) Where am I getting GoogleMaps.apk? Out of my base zip?

2) Pushed? I've only had the Google Maps that was provided with my current Base (TMO Donut, I think 1.9.2). I look in my /system/app and there is nothing listed, nor anything on my SD. Does that mean it is already removed?

3) Do you mean create /data/expstick/vsapps directory on my SD? I don't have this directory on my phone and using "AndExplorer", it won't let me create subfolders.

4) I can handle this, just not sure about steps 1 -3.

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] sumasage:
Sound like you did not get into the recovery mode. To get into recovery mode turn off your phone and hold the HOME key when pressing the power button. The recovery mode look like the attached picture in the first post here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=566669

If you dont have it then you can use the link above to install the recovery mode.

I think all G1 have recovery mode but the "community" recovery mode in the link above is easier to use.

When you switch between builds ... you must reformat any ext partitions (or at least completely wipe them clean) ... following POST #4 like it's a fresh install of a new ROM.

[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
My reasoning for this, and please correct me if I am wrong, is I am hopeful it reduce some of the occaisonal lag that can occur when calling up the keyboard. I paid for the thing when the htc keyboard was not available to me, and have grown quite used to/ fond of it. I never theme it though, as I feel the way in which it is done, adds to the lag.

Thanks.

Edit: latest update to better keyboard compressed the layout to add a button (next to alt) for a 1337 keyboard. If this is not fixed, I will be switching to htc.
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
did you wipe the ext and the phone? That should fix this.

This was posted in one post a few hundred pages back, don't you browse the thread before ? (Only Joking ;-))

Yeah, I had this problem and it scared the hell out of me when I was nearly late to teach class a few times. The problem is that you have advanced task manager set to auto end apps, and it kills the alarm in a way that it will not go off. I would either add it to the exclude list (I worry that it might be killing more than the alarmclock.apk, as it seems to kill some sort of scheduling), or turn off the auto end function.
