Aren't there water tamper stickers in these phones? They change colour when exposed to water, so Rogers would find out easily if there is the possibility of water damage.

Hi holdennull,

I have rogers G1 bricked while doing SPL upgrade talk to rogers tech support and they ask me to send the phone and they will send me the replacment, but I have same question that did you charged for tempering or rogers only look for physical and water damanges.

Please advise

---------

Hello all, sorry if this is a basic question, but wasnt able to find any results.

Over the past few days, I have been staying up late almost every single night and trying out different ROMs in this forum.

1. The Dude's ROM

This rom looks nice, but almost all applications crashed like nuts. Then I realised the developer has gone on a vacation, so cant really use this.

2. Cyan's ROM

Fast, but still uses SD for theapps. I have a class 2 sdhc, and that isnt fast enough and hence the apps are a bit slow to respond. Crashes are much much lesser than #1.

3. Hero's ROMs

Very well made, fantastic ROM, absolutely stunning UI but again dependency on the SDCARD is immense and is thus a limitation to me. Also I saw the actual HTC Hero has much higher ROM space (512mb compared to 288 of Dream/G1 and more ram 256 vs 198 of G1) and hence is much better suited to run the HTC's Rosie.

So now I think my needs would want me a basic android cupcake ROM without much fancy stuff. The bare minimum. Do we have such a ROM?

If we do, please let me know.

---------------------------

Update : I am looking for a base android system with root. If possible maybe start building on something. I have experience tweaking kernels on a desktop , but has _never_ tried anything mobile.

I was suggested to use Haykuro's 6.0r1 , but it does use apps2sd and so does cyan's rom.

Well my idea is to find/create a ROM which would be light and fast and we could do some work optimizing the kernel for faster loads and quick runs.

Any suggestions, guides, materials on how to start would be greatly helpful.

----------------------

Goal : A quick to boot, fast ROM with low battery consumption.

Haykuro's ion rom

Use Haykuro's IOn Rom its fast stable and just your basic android goodness
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpcameron:
Actually, most ROMs that make use of some form of A2SD (apps on SD cards) do so conditionally. Both Haykuro and cyanogen have ROMs that put the /system/app directory on the SD card only if the SD card has a prepared ext2/3 partition present at boot. What this means is that if you are using a regular SD card, or if you repartition your card as FAT32, then the ROM will not implement A2SD.

However, I am in agreement with you for the gist of the request. I would also like to see an optimized ROM based on AOSP (like cyanogen or TheDude), but one that implements fewer customizations. Personally, I am currently using cyanogen's 3.9, which has great performance, and the fastest boot times I have had from any other ROM. It seems to run through the battery a little faster than others, but it is the best so far.

jf or cyanogen

even though u have an class 2 apps2sd would work good. i had a lame stock 1gig tmo gives with the fone and i had no problem with it. or jf as close to stock as possible
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chahk:
You do know that Apps2SD is not a requirement for CyanogenMod, right? If you have a single Fat32 partition on your card, Apps2SD is disabled and all apps will go to the phone's internal memory. Of course in this case you are limiting yourself to the amount of apps you can have installed at any given time due to the relatively small space left on the intmem after the OS is installed. Also, if you install too many apps your phone will start slowing down considerably because the apps basically eat up the available RAM.

Personally, half the reason for rooting my phone in the first place was running apps on SD card. My co-worker has yet to root his G1 and he constantly has to juggle apps and games so that he can have at least 10MB internal memory free, otherwise his phone starts slowing down to a crawl.

I'm tryin to finish a lite version of ion. I don't think I can strip anything else out without it breaking. The whole purpose behind the lite version will be to put what customizations you want on it. It a lot slimmer than a standard jf release.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jubeh:
I also wanted a stock rom with just root and without the piles of shi.... code that are being piled on top of the custom builds. I found two easy ways to it;

1. JF's roms. All he does is root it and release it. Unfortunately, for the cupcake builds, he got the awful idea of talking with crazy narcissist haykuro and actually implemented a2sd on 1.51 and 1.51r2. Getting rid of it is nastily simple, though. Just delete a2sd from /system/bin and you're done.

2. Get a dump of an official OTA rom, put the modified su binary in /system/bin, superuser.apk on /system/app, and pack it with a rooted boot.img, or if you can modify kernel (i don't know that much linux) root your own boot.img. Look through somebody else's update-scripts so you can make your own (I've found cyanogen's and JF's to be amongst the cleanest, easiest to read and figure out).

soulife, I'd love to see what you come up with. I have among my stash of experimental stuff a slimmed down ION r2 that only kept a few apps (Phone, contacts, browser, mms, cameras, and settings), but quickly felt that there really was no reason to slim it down so bare. With ION, there's still a lot of space left in system, even with a stock spl, and after an install it's never used again, so I felt I should be adding instead of removing apps than let that empty space go to waste, specially since there's really no replacement or improved app for the ones that were removed
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stopjockingme@gmail.com:
I suggest you go out and buy a new micro sd card, preferably a class 4 or 6 micro sd card. Then you can really begin enjoying the capabilities of root.

4gb class 4 by adata for 12 bucks i believe on newegg.

8gb transcend class 6 for $19, also on newegg.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] <blank>:
i just switched back to JF 1.51 with the hero theme 1.4.5. I think it might still have the a2sd script in it but it's optional, but boot time is MUCH faster than cyanogens current builds.

The stock ION and Rogers ROMs are good as well, but I do enjoy the hero theme on JF :D, although the Rogers dialer is a great thing to have.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinetreehater:
Wow...**** code. Who'd a thunk that people would be modifying stock ROMs on a developers forum. If you are going to debase a developers work, at least specify which developer. The way your statement reads, nothing but crap comes out of this forum.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prescot:
How do I increase the font size on my Xperia system wide? I tried ING Change Font but the results are very minimul. Xperia Tweaks does not work on my system so I can't say if it would have had any effect.

I just got my Xperia today and as soon as I turned it on, I was shocked to see how small the font size is. The smallest font on my Nokia E61 seems large by comparison. I'm very near sighted so font size is very important to me. If someone could suggest another solution to my problem it would be great. I love this phone and would hate to return it for something else like an iphone.

I cant figured out how to set the system volume level at middle in new builds...

This is the problem:

When I cook a new build, and it boot the system volume is at full level... so I want to decrease the volume to middle level, to have a semi silence boot because of the htc animation, and yes... my htc animation the one that works with the hermes and with the wm6.5 dont has the volume parameter so maybe there is a reg to set it at middle...

anybody?

Thanks in advance.

I love my Xperia. I installed the haptic feedback for the touch screen (which really helps alot) but to make my Xperia 100% it would be great if someone could tell me what I need to change in the registry to my make each key on my keyboard vibrate when I press it since the keys dont move much when pressed and therefore I always need to check whether what I pressed shows up.

I know there was a registry entry that could be done for the MDA Vario years back but i cant find that thread anymore.

Someone... please let me know how or a small app would be even better. Thanks everyone!

Haptic feedback on our xperias keyboard is quite a good idea :) i look forward to seeing the outcome of this thread
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkouk:
I don't mean to sound negative, as different people have different requirements...

But, the whole point of haptic feedback with on screen keyboards is to create the illusion of a normal hardware keyboard which by default gives feedback when a key is pressed.

Why someone would want haptic feedback on haptic feedback is beyond me.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WDM:
Haptic keyboard

What I mean is, when using the physical keyboard (the actual keys not the touch screen keyboard) I would like a small vibration with each key pressed. That is clear enough to understand i think
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
NO Lolz.

This is not haptic. This is vibrating hardware keyboard. Haptic is when the whole phone vibrates if you press the ON-SCREEN keyboard.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquidgyB:
Haptic (wrt phone/pda) is just a word for the response given when something is pressed, regardless of what it is. He's perfectly right calling it a haptic keyboard. "Haptic" is not a word that's limited to describing keyboard/touch/stylus responses on a touchscreen (that said a keyboard is haptic by it's very nature, as the keys click, but it's pretty obvois what he's asking for, and while not to everyone's tastes, not the worst idea I've heard in a long time).
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WDM:
Vibrating keyboard

well, instead of writing back and forth about the name, does anyone have an idea how this can be done, the vibrating of the hardware keyboard when each letter is pressed = haptic feedback? THANKS!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
Generally, yes. In the borders of his question, no.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkyW4lk3r:
The fact is out X1 keyboards they offer very little feedback from the buttons aka not a big CLICK as such.

And sometimes with people having multiple presses of the key problems etc im sure vibration when typing on keyboard feature can help this

I'm using v0.94 and that's the latest version. I just realized you said iContact and not iContacts. Are they two different things? Thanks!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] cyberhern:
yes and no

iContacts somehow branched off into i think three.

the one i like is Burt Edition.

you should have a config shortcut (or icon as you called it)

go into it and look for a about tab, see which one you have.

If you know which edition you have you could download cab to ppc and run the install once it sees you already have it, it should ask you if you want to remove the install. after that it will ask you if you want it on your mm or your sd card or cancel. HIT CANCEL

If it is not BE you should someday try it. very good. very easy to find someone.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Apota:
I went into the iContacts settings and there is no about tab, but it says in their iContact v0.8 - supware.net. I got the latest version and I did exactly what you said and did it said it was uninstalling it, and then I hit cancel before it installed the new version. I went back to my contacts and it's still there. Maybe because it's a part of the bios you can't remove it?

I tried to find the version that you said you have, but I can't find it any place. Do you know where you can find it at? Thanks!

Why do I need that version of iContact and what does it do? I'm trying to get rid of iContact because I don't like it. I already fixed the problem of the Outlook Contact icon missing. Is this what you mean?

iContact v0.81 (The version that used to be in my ROMs)

Well, it says v0.8 in the iContact Settings, but v0.94 when I run iContact on my phone.

Just look in your windows folder with active sync. Organize by file type, and scroll to the .lnk files. That's where you'll find it, although it may have a different name (check initflashfiles.dat if the naming is weird). Copy to the start menu and rename if needed.
