not distance

Hei,

A pedometer is for how many steps not for distance. Yes it would be easy for distance with the gps. It uses the motion of your strides to calculate steps. From that number you can calculate energy used to see how many calories it was.

If your under 5000 steps a day .... you should do more

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fortunz:
Knowing how many steps you take is actually of limited utility--worth doing, but if you have extra tools like GPS, use them. Take your steps really slow and you won't burn as many calories. Take them too fast, and although you'll burn calories, you won't burn as much fat.

Having more information can tell you how many calories you're really burning and how to burn as much of them in fat as possible.

Hi all,

I am trying to flash my G1 to one of the nice custom roms. I flashed the recovery and spl just fine.

Now I cannot flash anything. I've tried different roms (cyanogen and dude's) and even tried flashing the radio. No love. The error is that it cannot find my sdcard or update.zip.

Phone is pvt and is rooted.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Hank
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
What steps did you take to root? Is your card fat32?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
Did you mount the sdcard on windows? If you did, rename the file to update not update.zip on WINDOWS! Also, can you even mount your sdcard? If not, then there's your problem.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djscamper:
I followed the rooting instructions from this site. i do have # in the local terminal.

i can mount the sd card and i did mount in windows to transfer fikes over. i should just name them update not update.zip?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saiboogu:
That will probably help.. By default Windows hides the extension (the .zip part) so when you rename it to "update.zip" you actually make it update.zip.zip

Easy way to check is look at the original file.. if it says something like

update-cm-3.6.6-signed.zip

you need to rename to

update.zip

if it says

update-cm-3.6.6-signed

then just call it

update
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djscamper:
Thanks. Getting a signature error now. :)

Will try a different version of the file once I am off Caltrain.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saiboogu:
Yeah - if you have a modded recovery and get that error, it's most likely a bad download. Good luck.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djscamper:
That did it. It is always something so simple.

Thanks a ton. Hopefully this thread will help someone else as well.

I had to change to a new sim card today, but after i turned on the phone it said something like "no sim card" i know i have to enter the puk code but got no clue how to do that or where its done :( i tryed to put the old simcard back but now it says the same error, i been googling the past 2-3 hours, this is so confusing, eanyone know how to fix it :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Rudegar:
puk code is for sim cards which have been blocked because the sim code was typed wrong more then 3 times

it's not a phone code

you can put the sim card in any phone and open it again using the puk code

sounds like you think the puk code is a code to fix the phone which it is not
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Htc Diamond <3:
skal man ikke indtaste en puk kode første gang sim kortet bruges? sidder helt fast og har ingen ide om hvad jeg skal gøre for at komme vider med problemet
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Rudegar:
no one type in the sim code one recieved from the phone operator a long with the sim

after that one can change the sim to whatever one wish

and if one later forget that code one can clear the sim code one have forgotten

with the puk code

if your sim card require this operation and you have issues doing so with the diamond

I'd sugest you pop the sim in any other phone had to do that a long time agoe with an

old motorola which had problems in that department

but if it says no sim card that it sounds more like you put the sim in incorrect

or if the sim connector in the phone is somehow damaged
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kissdoll:
well I think that your phone is broken... I have the same situation, Diamond reads the old sim but have problems with reading the new one... take someone’s simcard and check it...

Hey all ,

Ok sorry to make a new topic but we are stuck .

We can flash g1 roms on our magics with no prob at all but the only thing that does not work is wifi ???? we have now tried everything to get it working but we have hit a brick wall .

Now their must be someone who can look at this for us and tell us what to do or fix the prob for us explaining what they did . as said all g1 roms work on magics its just the wifi .

Any help would be fantastic . :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] edoroman23:
you need to get the wifi modules from any magic rom and put them in the g1 rom

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] marbalon:
I think you should replace modules and kernel. You can't load modules form other kernel version, you should see this in dmsg. I don't know where kernel is placed but if you change kenel and modules everything should works fine. I'm not and expert in android ROM cooking but this is theory for linux based systems.

Hello guys,

I just want to ask about my problem with Raphael. In some cases, my screen goes wrong. It messes it's screen alignemnt and when i'm trying to align it again through start-setings-screen it doesn't save new alignment and forces me to restart. It happens quite often, so making my phone unusable. Did somebody have the same problem? I tried a couple of different roms, but nothing happens. I hope it isn't a HW problem. Any idea, what to do?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raukodur:
I had to reset my phone today, since for some odd reason, I switched it off and back on, and it wouldnt get back the flashing android screen (havent even made any changes to it recently, God knows why it decided to do this).

Anyway, I figured, format the phone, reflash JF 1.5, and then move apply apps2sd (I already have my apps on my SD card, just have to link them back to the phone so it can see them), and the small customisations I can do later, I would get my phone back to functioning level.

I am using these instruction from SDK on my computer:

1. Check if your phone is recognised.

adb devices

2. Mount the phone into ADB.

adb remount

3. Bring up the shell.

adb shell

4. Check if /system/sd is visible.

df

5. Skip this step if you already have your apps on SD.

cp -a /data/app /system/sd

6. Skip this step if you already have your app-private on SD.

cp -a /data/app-private /system/sd

7. Remove the current apps folder on device.

rm -r /data/app

8. Remove the current app-private folder on device.

rm -r /data/app-private

9. Link the app folder on sd to the one on device.

ln -s /system/sd/app /data/app

10. Link the app-private folder on sd to the one on device.

ln -s /system/sd/app-private /data/app-private

11. Finally Reboot.

reboot

Well, I can flash the phone fine, but when I am trying to follow the instructions for relinking the apps from SD to the phone (stage 4), it doesnt show /system/sd, instead it shows /sdcard.

Does this mean I should change the following steps to say 'sdcard' instead of '/system/sd'? I have tried this with no luck, shows me the android screen indefinitely.

I have an ext2 partition on the phone on which I have my apps, I have done this whole process before many times, but not for a while so I am missing something important.

And I am skipping steps 5 and 6, since I have already got all my apps on my SD card.

Any help would be must appreciated, this is wasting quite a bit of my time.

PS: the only thing I have changed since I last did this, was I flashed the phone with a google ion build, while it had JF 1.5 on it. What I did notice after that was the phone ran a lot slower. That is the only change I can think of which separates this process working perfectly previously, and not at all now.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
Um reformat your entire card to fat32. And then use cyanogen's recovery 1.31. to split your sd into 2 partitions. Msg me on gtalk or by email and I'll help you out :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raukodur:
Many thanks for the reply.

Hmm I would have thought a reformat of the SD card would be last resort, is there no way to sort this out without going down that route?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
Don't think there's another way, You could try switching ROMS see if that fixes it...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saiboogu:
Might not need to reformat it all just yet.. Been awhile since I used JF, but I don't think it automatically mounts /system/sd

I think you might need the init.rc from this post -- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=512743

Personally - and I try not to be preach about it, but I think CM users can't help that ;) -- I'd suggest trying CyanogenMod since you're reflashing anyway. It isn't quite as stock as JF, but it is rock solid and fast, and it should pickup your existing A2SD partition automatically.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
Agreed with Saiboogu. Try out Cyanogen's ROM you will NOT regret it :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raukodur:
Ok, I am up for that.

BTW, when I format my phone (Alt+W I believe), and start it up again, its firmware is still upgraded.

If I reflash with a ROM, will that cause any problems or slowing, will it be overwriting anything? I guess I dont quite understand what the formatting of the phone is doing, and what it is leaving behind, and then what reflashing with a ROM is doing on top of that.

Also,m when you say Cyanogen's rom will do apps2sd automatically..how? Will it recognise the apps currently on the ext2 partition of my SD card? It wont delete them will it?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
It will not delete them. It uses bind mounts to automatically do the apps to sd :). Just wipe and flash
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raukodur:
Ok, giving it a try now.

Hmm something I should have asked beforehand, my partition is ext2, do I need to change that to ext3 before I flash the cyanogen ROM?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saiboogu:
Like alritewhadeva said - it just recognizes your existing apps.

A wipe clears out all the custom data.. Your settings, application data in the /data partition, your google account data that is synced to the phone. It doesn't touch the actual OS, which is why your ROM is still installed after a wipe.

With that said.. Cyanogen builds can be "broken" if you wipe after a flash. So always either just flash, or wipe *then* flash.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raukodur:
PERFECT! its worked like a charm! no hassle at all!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saiboogu:
Great! You won't regret it.

I am afraid due to my pathetic ignorance of how android works, I cant decipher what you said.

How do I get the camera apk? And once I acquire it, and put it on my SD card (I am assuming not in any folder, just on the main directory of the card), I use the terminal emulator to type in those commands?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raukodur:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saiboogu:
Great that you got it working. For future reference (because these things do happen occasionally), alritewhadeva was suggesting that you download an older version of CM (link on his build thread), unzip it and find the camera.apk file. Then place that file on your sd card, and follow his directions in Terminal Emulator on the phone.

Hello, I need a help please installing the tomtom 7 rom tom codon and the icons on the desktop are small, anyone know why? thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom Lenferink:
What do you mean by TomTom 7 rom tom codon?

Small icons? don't you use TF3D?

On the standard stock todayscreen of WinMo 6.1 the icons are small.

If you use TF3D the icon in the startmenu wil be bigger.

But you ask for help with installing TomTom and you allready have desktop icons?

You will only get desktop aka todayscreen icons if you install TomTom.

Since TomTom doesn't (yet) support widescreen WVGA i would sugest Nav 'n go iGO8.

Somewhere on the forum you will find how to make it work fullscreen @ 800*480 pixels.

If you need any further help please discribe what kind of help you need with what.

Sincerely,

Tom.

Hey guys,

How to change this background? I am a newbie

Can everyone tell me the true answer!!PLs

Thx a lots
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] PurPLe SKy:
I use this app to change the background.
[Touch HD General] dex8:
I like the phone, but i think it really needs some adjustements.

what im looking for is:

-a way to change the background while using tf3

-a way to change the icons on the top bar (as ive seen in some pics)

-a way to change stuff on the today screen

-any app that improves how the phone looks/feels

if someone could help me out either with a very easy guide or link i would appriciate it, but keep in mind that ive tried sick many hours and failed. so its gotta be easy.. ;)

100d reward if im allowed to offer that.
[Touch HD General] David Balfour:
hang on here a minute. can you explain this a bit more clearly.

1. background, are you wanting to change just the first tab or all tabs?

2. Topbar, Are you wanting 1 already made or to do this yourself? for already made just visit the themes and apps forum http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=474 but i would recommend this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=520132. If you want to make your own the guide is here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=588802

3. The today screen is easy just go in to the today settings!!

4. Look and feel, HD Tweak is very good and found that this does work to improve the feel. I would also recommend a custom ROM for the final touch. Dutty is the man to see for these as far as i'm concerned.
[Touch HD General] dex8:
-I would like a background for all tabs.

-Want 1 already made, probably wont be able to make 1 myself.

-Is it that simple? like I was thinking about some drastic changes like removing the calendar thing. anyway its not as imprtant as background and the bar.

HD Tweak is the 1 app i currently have, im also very happy with it.

what is a custom ROM? and is it easy to install etc?

I have JACHero 2.63, and I was wondering if it is possible and how I would go about using an older youtube app instead of the pre-loaded one. The ONLY complaint I have about this rom so far is the fact that youtube doesn't have the HQ video option that it had on stock cupcake and cyanogen's. I have a working youtube.apk that should support the HQ feature. It wouldn't let me install the app from the SD card like normal, and I think that's because it is protected or something. What is the best way to get the youtube feature I want? Other than that this new rom is heavenly :p
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
want to buy? lol.

move the youtube.apk to root directory of your sdcard (not in any folders)

su

cd sdcard

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

cp youtube.apk /system/app
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkphoenix2012:
Ok I tried this and it did copy successfully, however it didn't change the default youtube app, I tried to install it again like before, I couldn't. I also couldn't delete/rename the youtube I want to replace. Would I need to do something else to make it work from here. I now have 2 youtube.apk's in my system/app folder. >.<
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saiboogu:
So if you go into /system/app with terminal and type

ls -al

you see two different youtube.apk files? Honestly, they really can't be identical.. There has to be some difference between the two file names for them to both exist in the same folder. Look at them carefully, then try renaming (use the mv command) the new one to overwrite the old one.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkphoenix2012:
Ok now i think i screwed myself over. I used mv like you said and my youtube force closes >.< I'm going to need another youtube.apk that works for hero, hopefully one that has a working high quality feature.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saiboogu:
You can unzip the hero update.zip that you're running right now to get the original youtube.apk -- Won't get you HQ, but fix your FC issues for now.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkphoenix2012:
Ok I restarted the phone twice and youtube changed the appearance of the icon it had to the one it should have. Meaning it did copy correctly and overwrote the apk as it was intended. However I still do not have a HQ setting in youtube for hero. Am I the only one who has this issue in youtube??
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saiboogu:
What type of connection are you on? On EDGE I have no HQ option in YouTube. On WiFi it automatically goes to HQ. I assume 3G would let you select HQ.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkphoenix2012:
I'm on 3G. It doesn't give me the option no matter what type of connection as long as I'm running Hero. On a android rom it was different:confused:

I do it in that way: At the begining I click a normal letter button and after that áü button. It changes normal letter to diacritic letter. To change to other diacritic letter i click Fn and áü button again and again. After some times i've got that letter which i wanted.

My question is: Is that possible to change order/sequence of special letters assigned to áü button? In addition it doesn't contain two diacritic letters which i want to use. (ń and ś - Polish language).

Is any software to do this?

I have Touchdown for Android and it works beautifully on my mail and calendar. But the contact syncing never seemed to line up right. There were often duplicates, missing fields (such as birthdays and addresses), and it just feels clumsy.
