[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saiboogu:
The entire /system partition is always read-only, unless you tell your phone to remount it read-write.

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

But for your problem.. You shouldn't really need to manually tweak files in /system if you flash another ROM. The new ROM will replace that entire partition. Have you wiped? What ROM are you trying to flash?

Kudos for using logcat and trying to jump in yourself though.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metatronx:
I've been unable to replace the ROM because I keep getting stuck at the T-Mobile G1 screen in a bootloop constantly running those errors. I've tried cyanogen, dudes, jachero and keep getting stuck in a bootloop. I had an earlier post here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=536657.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saiboogu:
Interesting.. Doesn't sound fun. I remember your other thread - didn't chime in that time because I had no advice. Still not sure what could be causing it. Did you try the last bit of advice in that thread?

Also .. I'm no Android development expert, but just form my PC knowledge.. That logcat from the other thread could be explained by file corruption. And if you get similar issues on different ROMs, it points to your device. Bad blocks on the internal storage, or glitch in the memory controller. May be something that doesn't get utilized until one of the newer (and larger) ROMs gets written to that block.

That's all just a theory.. But if you can't get it running, is there any chance you can exchange it? To rule out the hardware.

Hi

does anybody knows what is that for?

When you go to settings-today-items on the bottom you have today timeout, that is selected by default to 4 hour.

I asume it must be a very simple answer and I´m just curious about that as never touched:o

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.nocturna:
Easiest way is to re-flash RC29 for US (RC7 for UK). Then from there, you'll have everything set up the way the phone was when you bought it (Radio, SPL, Recovery Image, etc). From there, just update your phone with official updates and you'll be on your way (note: this will remove root and so you may lose function with some applications). Also, the official updates have progressed to the point where you have the on-screen keyboard, so no worries about losing that. :D

Honestly tho, I do not think that your ROM has anything to do with your text lagging cuz I think a lot more people would be complaining if it were. I would probably just re-flash a new ROM. They're often better than the official ones. I would take a look at cyanogen's ROMs before doing anything drastic like downgrading to a version that some applications no longer support.

I have an UK o2 XDA Ignito (gsm diamond) and am running Nataly 2.5.1 ROM. Radio is 1.14.25.55.

Im finding a strange connection issue. I can use 'opera' whenever I want with no issues at all. I update my emails every 5mins which works 80% of the time. I also use pocketweather from SBSH. This updates every 2 hours but I cant manually or automatically update it?? Suddenly at some random time of day in a random place it will update but then thats it for days?? If I test the internet connection from inside pocketweather it confirms that with a certain proxy it had a successful connection to the net and opera works fine but it still wont update?? Any ideas? very annoying?

Dont know if its linked but Ive been having trouble with SMS too. I can be texting someone with no problems then suddenly I wont recieve a reply? Ill leave a while then respond again and suddenly after I send I recieve 2 or 3 messages (sent at the time the other person sent them but arrive all same time for me??) This is extremely annoying as missing some very important texts :(

Any advice would be much appreciated??

[Off-topic] gemblaster:
Hi all, it's been a while since I have posted lol, but I got a bit of a situation at our company that the pro's here might be able to help us out with.

We've got some serious trouble with with at least one person (possibly more) in our company, that has been fooling around with way more than the business programs that operate our CNC machines. It has destabilized the OS in our Waterjet, and we have also had to reformat a office PC as well. The way we know, is that only owners have Remote Desktop access set up on these machines, and we have seen other remote access names popping up now, around the same time as really bad system problems & bugs have been showing up. The one older Waterjet, if it is cashed to the point of a reformat, the whole machine will be scrap, as the the one of a kind coding between the MB and the internal PMAC card (controller card) will not be able to be replaced.

Also the company has a few HTC phones, Tytn, TytnII, and a Diamond that get charged throughout the day in areas that can not be secured from everyone. We believe they have been used to send confidential data and pictures of our company by someone else as well. As personal phones are not allowed.

My question is, out of ALL the junk & useless spam programs out there that do not do what they say. What is there that our company can reliably use and install on our company PC's & at least the HTC Diamond as well(as others will be upgraded) to covertly monitor and or record either on the host machine, or preferably a remote administers PC all that happens on these devices all running windows platform? The program must also be able to run in stealth mode and have no conflicts with anti virus programs. We are using Avast now, but considering the severity of this, the company would switch to a new solution that would work seamlessly and undetectable in order to weed out the perpetrator, and any future one's as well.

The Legal part of this for those wondering:

Other companies we do business with here have also had to combat this same problem. As long as it is the companies PC's & PC phones and on the premises, anything and everything that is carried out on these pieces of equipment is able to be monitored (without notice, as it is a voluntary act to place information on someone else's property on their premises). It also legally becomes the companies property and full rights of use in legal matters. At least in our country there is still one last shred of something that can help out the victims & not the criminal. Here we have to welcome in a home intruder and make sure he doesn't stub his toe on the door on the way out, or else we end up getting sued for damages, all the mean while he gets released with another line on his rap sheet:(!

Any professional solutions is greatly appreciated.

What is the advantage of having a ROM other then a stock one?

What will it do to my phone?

What is a good one out right now?

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imatrix:
more up-to-date applications and a better performance

you just to try each one yourself. see which one suits u most.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mugglesquop:
Most Roms have a 'Update log' which tells you what has been done.

just have a read through. took me a few days of reading before i decided on one ;)

and i still change it now!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] krale:
I would never advise keeping the stock rom. The custom roms on this forum, add speed, functionality, and deal with bugs which it takes HTC ages to deal with. In addition, new features available only on newer HTC models (never available on Diamonds stock ROMS), are implemented in these custom roms.

So my advice is do flash a custom rom.

Just a short advice, as to which ROM. This is a personal preference. You will see which one suits you best.

If what you are looking for is multitude of features and most up-to-date WinMobile etc., then go for one of the WM 6.5 Roms. However, this will cost you speed and overall performance, mostly for visual effects.

If what you want is speed and stability, then stick with the WM 6.1 roms. They offer almost everything you get with the first group, except the latest visual effects and a couple of minor features. I personally use a rom of this group, after trying at least 8 different roms. I am on GenY's rom, and I'm happy with it.

Cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] scubasteve911:
Thanks for all the answers i am gonna look around.

And if i find one that sounds interesting and decide to try it, it will get rid of all of my stuff like contacts,and little tweaks that ive done to my phone right.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] krale:
Back up your contacts, messages, calendar, etc, either through activesync with your pc, or use PimBackup, a little program which will restore these things after you are finished.

For more advanced restore options, including programs, copying files to specific directories, registry editions, etc., check out a script called sUC. But this is more advanced it might be confusing if you are just starting up. My advice, just backup contacts, etc., and flash new rom. Set it up as you go.

As for the ROM....Most folks will tell you to each his/her own but if you want just speed and stability without all of the bling. Juicy8 is the best in my opinion. But it's just that; my opinion. XDA is an awesome site! You may want to check out PPCGeeks as well. Good info there too.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.nocturna:
Hi, I've been using Backup for Root Users constantly as I have been flashing once, maybe twice a day between the new Hero ROMs popping up everywhere. I'm trying to use Backup for Root Users to backup/restoring my data to make the transition easier. However, I've found that sometimes the application doesn't backup whatever I tell it to back up.

For instance, I'll click the button to back up apps2sd - system and it will say found under sdcard/Backup Root. But if I navigate to that folder, it will be blank, or sometimes the folder isn't even there. So, I decide to uninstall the application/reinstall to see if that could fix it. Sometimes it will fix it, but sometimes it will only allow me to backup one more item before the same problem arises.

Sometimes, I'm able to completely backup everything and I make sure to check that they are indeed on the sdcard. After re-flashing a new ROM, I go to restore my data and after I click restore, nothing changes. All my application settings are the same, or my sms doesn't show up, or my APNs are all missing, whatever. Most of the time at least one of the restores will work.

So, my question is whether anyone else has this problem and knows how to fix it? Pretty please, I want to flash ROMs, but its a hassle to constantly have to re-enter APN information or to lose all my SMS, etc.

Thanks

EDIT: I usually go in through ASTRO to delete all the previous backups from the folder to make sure that it doesn't have problems with that, but I still have the same problem...

I had this problem, along with an issue where MS Office Communicator 2007 R2 wouldn't start. They seemed unrelated but after lots of troubleshooting, rebuilding and testing I found out it was the SQLCE 3.5 package integrated into my ROM. Sounds bizarre I know but that is what it was. Every other application I had worked but these two just gave me problems and as I said it was the SLQCE 3.5 package I had integrated into my ROM.

I replaced the original SQLCE 2.0 package that was in the original ROM dump along with the .NetCF 2.0 package with .NetCF 3.5 and remoduled both of these, however the SQLCE 3.5 package obviously had issues when it was remoduled. I have now put this package into the kitchen as native files instead of modules and when compiled and flashed both TagReader & OC Mobile 2007 R2 work perfectly.

Hi All,

Does anyone know of an application like google maps that allows you to download a complete country map to your device? In my case Australia. I used to have an N95 8GB and Nokia Maps allowed me to download the entire map of Australia to my phone so I could use it offline. I would like to do this on my HD. I have google maps installed and it is perfect apart from the fact the it must have a data connection to work. I know it can cache maps but I am not interested in that, I want mapping on the fly. I also have TOMTOM installed but it's maps lack detail and the ability to browse around a map is very poor.

If anyone knows of a solution please let me know.

Here's a neat app to add into your cell, this I've just begun testing and may stay with it for awhile.

The idea of a security app for Windows Mobile was not a very convincing one in the past but when we hear about new security vulnerability on Windows Mobile devices, we have to give more priority for security related apps for Windows Mobile. Flexilis is one of our favorite in this category. They have responded to the new vulnerability very quickly, the latest version will detect and delete the ” Phone Creeper ” app which gave us Windows Mobile users a security. ( a fix for version 0.6 will be rolled out soon ).

Along with the Anti-Virus and Firewall app, Flexilis also provides a module for Backup , this module will let you back up your contacts and photos. You can also transfer your data to a new phone.

The Anti-Theft Module in Flexilis enables you to respond when your device is lost or stolen. Locate your device, sound an alarm, wipe your personal information, remotely from the web.

The best part of this is all of this is for FREE and if you find a new security flaw with your device you can also let the Flexilis team know about it.
