[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehseano:
If you want to do it from your windows machine, it's simple.

Right Click My Computer > Manage > Disk Management > Find your SD card in the list > It will show the ext partition, but for obvious reasons you can't navigate it > delete all the partitions > right click on unallocated space > Create new volume > enter the max, which will be like 7.9gb or something > Presto, you have your full sd card back.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoshiki:
thanks alot. this is by far the easiest method. to be honest, i dont know what is the adb all about. everytime i see those commands i dont know what to do..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osutuba:
That's great ... if the parted and print commands worked for me or I could actually access the console from the recovery menu ... UGH!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ali2k4:
I used MiniTool Partition Wizard, I deleted all the partitions and then right clicked on the unallocated space, click create select fat32 make it primary, max out the size bar and click ok.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldrifta:
dood just go back to recovery on your device and go to partition sd card. than choose 0mb swap and 0 mb ext!! when its all done you will have your full 8g back

personally every other post seems so much more difficult than what i just said... lol i've done it many times i know it works man simple as that! just re partition everything to 0 lol
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] genderblurr:
If i set it all do 0,0 do I have to wipe my card first? my desktop is an older computer with not that much memory to hold everything
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldrifta:
no when you partition your sd card it formats it (wipes everything) so if you want to keep anything i suggest saving before you un-partition lol
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tvall:
Or better way.

Install a Linux distro on your pc.

Run gparted.

Delete the ext partition.

Expand the fat partition to fill the empty space.

That's my way of doing it. Easiest with least data loss.

But some people don't know that they have other (faster, more secure, more stable) options than windows.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Callie_evo:
i tried this method and my card is now bad. no more partitioning for me.

unpartitioned with mgldr

i have an htc hd2, first phone i have ever done any kind of modification to...started by loading android rom then decided to switch to wp7 (huge mistake inho!) wp7 partitioned and locked my sd card made it unusable in any other device...when i decided to load an android rom back on and wanted to use my sd card with it i simply booted into the mgldr boot screen and selected the option to clear partitions and it did so...i dont know if this is an option for any other kind of phone but it works on the hd2 and instructions to load mgldr are available if you search for them

I had to get my phone replaced and i happened to write down the apps i have downloaded and i cant find the you tube downloader app anymore, i really liked doing that so i could download a video straight to the phone. Is there any way i could get the app back? i cant find it on the market any more...
[G1 Apps and Games] ccunningham83:
You should try searching. There is already a thread on this topic somewhere in this forum. They took it down from the market. I have it if you want to PM me your e-mail address I can send it to you. I am not sure we are supposed to post it here (Don't know why).
[G1 Apps and Games] rushless:
I just bought it for $2. The upgrade over the older app was worth it. I bought it on my G1 and downloaded after paying. I found the link on the Android Community site, but can not remember the link. Worth the purchase.
[G1 Apps and Games] trevordbs:
I know this is lame, but this movie cracks me the hell up. I'd like a soundboard with all the pickup lines and retarded sayings, and seperated by person. (shows face) It's just hilarious and i have no idea how to do any of that.

Samples

"Sup you from out of town"

"Got a local phone number"

"Hey you talkin to me"

"Do you like blue berries or strawberries so i know what kind of pancakes to make you in the morning"

The lines are so chezzy it cracks me up.

for some of the crap lines.

"Are you seeing plains?"

"are you living on fantasy island"

I had always felt Android was a little held back because the CEO of Google was on the board of directors of Apple but not anymore.... http://keznews.com/6047_Google_CEO_resigns_from_Apple_s_Board_of_Directors

I wonder if this means Android will get more features that may had been held back?
[G1 General] jashsu:
I'm not a director at Google or Apple, but I think I can safely say that it wasn't a case of shared directorate members causing the Android team at Google to leave features out. In other words, it wasn't like Eric Schmidt one day showed up at the Android building and told the engineers there to leave a bunch of features out because Apple said so. The rumors that multitouch was omitted due to Apple's insistence are probably just that-- rumor.
[G1 General] vr24:
Multi-touch was officially added BEFORE he resigned from Apple's Board.

I think there was just too much conflict of interest for him to be effective as a board member.
[G1 General] NeoBlade:
Android still has a long way to go really before it can really compete at the sharp end. Its maturing at a rapid rate though thanks to its open source nature but to many that can be a double edged blade...

Enterprise users want total security and useability. Only recently we've had VPNs but the data going in/out of the G1 isn't encrypted as far as I'm aware unlike say on the BlackBerry I believe. We now have Exchange support but I don't know how robust it really is since I don't have an exchange server to test it on.

As for the multi-touch stuff, it is rumour but then I've read that somehow Apple won the patent for it, which is as ridiculous as Sega winning the patent for "alternate views in a 3D space".

Things are developing fast though considering Android's conception and hopefully in a year or two it will be mature enough on all levels.

EDIT: Just announced that Android has been ported for MIPS devices! MIPSAndroid.org You do have to register though. At the moment it is for private users only but soon it will be made public. Why is this good? Because Android could be used in multimedia set-top boxes, VoIP hardware products, and GPS devices.

However after reading up on ARM, they are set to compete in the "smartbook" range pretty soon which should be interesting. ARM is very good in terms of energy efficiency but then not many native apps are compiled with ARM support Vs say x86 with Intel's ATOM... I'm going off on a tangent ^_^;;
[G1 General] aceo07:
Android now also runs on the new Zii EGG and it seems pretty nice. http://www.zii.com/Developer/Landing.aspx
[G1 General] jordanjay29:
Ok, the patent they won related to multitouch has very specific gestures patented. They haven't patented the hardware, the concept, the idea at all. Just specific gestures, and as this informative article describes, a competitor would have to violate ALL of the parts of their claims in order to infringe on their patent.
[G1 General] Rayman0625:
I'm trying to figure out, the Zii Egg is just a handheld computer right? Nothing else really?
[G1 General] jordanjay29:
It's a PMP. It's similar to the iPod Touch, PMP plus apps, wifi, etc.
[G1 General] Rayman0625:
Ahhhhh! Thank you, that's what I was thinking it was. I might pick one up but I really enjoy zunes for music needs and with the Zune HD coming out.
[G1 General] HTCMDA:
really? if it was officially added, why doesn't anyone have it yet? or anyone have it working yet?
[G1 General] Rayman0625:
Apparently multi-touch was added into the Donut branch update.
[G1 General] kusotare:
interesting. I've had multitouch working on my browser and gallery for months now.
[G1 General] HTCMDA:
your phone is all hacked out though...

but feel free to post a video showing :D
[G1 General] ThR1LL:
Google is going to disable though. They said they will not officially support multi-touch yet.
[G1 General] kusotare:
Oh, yes, all hacked out. Rooted with a custom rom. WHOA. Wait, what? A custom theme too? OH GOD! A recovery image that allows me to nandroid backup? HOLY CRAP! Apps to SD? STOP THE PRESSES!

Time to complete that whole transformation on a brand new stock G1: 24 minutes...including download time. By the way, did you know that almost every single one of the custom roms on this forum opens up MT? So its not just me, theres hundreds of us that have it.

Oh, and seeing as MT is already available for root users, something tells me they're not just going to randomly pull it unless its causing serious problems.
[G1 General] pascanu:
multitouch

How did you get MT in gallery? Does it com with the ROM youre using? Can it be ported to other ROMs?

I've had MT in browser sometime ago but disabled it since I found out I wasnLt using it (too slow to reflow text) but gallery is another thing, I see it much more usefull to have MT.

TIA
[G1 General] kusotare:
1. It's on my rom.

2. Yes.

3. You'd have to ask the developer.

[Networking] DJSYNTHVIRUS:
/facepalm ok! Your tilt already has built in gps, its already active when you power the phone on and when you launch applications such as google maps, it should utilize your gps and show where you are exactly.If it doesnt right away you might have to press 0 or the blue dot in the corner.There is also TOMTOM for the tilt as well if that is what you were looking for, it is cooked into a few roms in the rom section of the tilt area/page/section.I hope that helped!If you have any more questions feel free to ask
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alaskan84:
Hello everyone, i just received my unlocked rogers magic today! looks beautiful and I cant wait to get it flashed to hero rom so i can get customizing. I am quite nervous regarding the steps, as they seem different and your inda required to take bits and pieces here and there to get thru the process for your specific phone. These are the specs from my phone :

PVT 32A SHIP S -on H

HBOOT - 1.33.00009(SAPP50000)

CPID - 12

Radio - 3.22.20.17

Do i need to follow the root steps in the magic wiki? or can I just install the full hero rom and expect it to work properly? I would like the little android guy startup animation from the hero as well, not sure if thats included in the fatality rogers magic rom. If i have to follow the steps for root first, then i would download Haykuro's Magic "rootme" rom, but not the magic modified recovery rom on the same page, because i have another .img file i downloded earlier in wiki which is supposebly for 32A boards, its called daldroid-recovery. if I have those files right, then i think i can do the rooting process. at the end of the driod wiki, it says to get the hacked spl for nandroid backups etc download haykuro's SPL update, is that something I need to/should be doing now as well?

Thanks for being patient with me. I appreciate any help much
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xiutian:
Do not use Haykuro's ROM for 32A phones. Daldroid's and Amon_RA's recovery are both ok for the phone but I prefer Amon's.

Haven't tried any of the Hero ROMs as I need BT so can't comment on that.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ClintonH:
Going to go ahead and quote my own post.I swear there's a search function around here somewhere :rolleyes: ;)

Hereis the guide I used and would suggest you try out if your getting a Rogers Magic.

Once you have it Rooted you can flash any ROM that is for a 32a board(288mb RAM)

Here the Roms that are moded to work for the Rogers Magic.

Clinton
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wedif:
my 2 cent information on this matter.

I would take a look at "Ultimate Guide to Hacking your Sapphire Handset" http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking - which also is in a sticky post.

It goes thru most issues.

Note, SPL flashing is the dangerous part and is not nessary needed. I have flashed several firmwares (also the wrong ones - 32B/32a, just reflash to fix) and i have not flashed SPL. SPL flashing as i understand it, is needed when flashing an unsigned firmware or parts of it - like a nandroid restore.

The root access. You get it by using the Android SDK and fastboot/adb, and it allows you to do the flash (and write files to your phone). After that most firmware has root access allowed build into the firmware so i can be granted dynamically.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
Excellent! Thanks for posting the wiki there. Cheers!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alaskan84:
thanks, i had actually already gone thru the hacking wiki and other stickies but still had some questions. I think that CLINTONH's link should help the most. is there a reason not to use fatalitys hero rom on my magic? it was listed under the rogers rom repository thread.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ClintonH:
None at all, unless you can't live without bluetooth. It works for listening to music with BT headphones but not with handsfree systems. I use it anyway, I tried other ROMS but the Sense UI is what I like. Some say there is lag but I don't find it lags any more than the stock ROM.

Clinton
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alaskan84:
Thanks Clinton, If i have time today at work im gonna try following your steps. So far ive just gotten the adb connection setup between my phone and mini.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pcm2a:
Great post, I have many of these same questions. My Roger's Magic is out for delivery right now and I sure can't wait to get it up and running with my AT&T 3g service. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mockillo:
I've tried both JAC's 32a Hero and Fatality's, and personaly I had serious speed issues with Fatality's.

JAC's ran a lot faster on my phone, Nordic HTC Magic.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ClintonH:
Really it was the opposite for me JAC's ROM did the force close on me often and would hang when opening Message app and Mail. Browser was pretty fast but not a huge difference between the 2. Fatal1ty's ROM was very smooth and fast, my wife said the same no lag at all she kept it on her Magic as well. Maybe you had a bad flash or didn't do a data wipe?? Is your phone a Rogers Magic? Weird.:p

Clinton
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] NguyenHuu:
i thought with all that extra ram on the rogers' magic, the same amount that came on the hero, that there wouldnt be any sort of lag with sense UI and that it should be the same in perfomance as the real hero.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hakeem9:
Unfortunately, the real Hero has quite alot of lag. From what I have used, the compcache'd ROM's for the G1 and 32B are alot faster than the actual Hero itself.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pcm2a:
I got my Rogers magic in, unlocked on at&t. The first thing I did was rooted and stuck this Fatality rom on there. All i get it crashes in multiple menus :(.

I'm about to try the JAC one and see if it's any better. I don't care about the sense UI but need a non crashing rom + multitouch. Any ideas?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] NguyenHuu:
it probably needs a lot of optimizing for it run smooth then haha which is kinda unfortunate they didn't optimize before releasing the real hero.

I agree, i used hero rom on the G1, fully optimized and it was running pretty good with compcache. now, if we optimized and compcache it to run on the magic with the 288mb of ram, i'm sure it'll be really smooth! i hope i get my roger's magic soon, cant wait.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ClintonH:
Are you sure you flashed it right, I think I've had maybe 2 crashes in the whole time I've had this ROM on my Magic. Please read through the Guide I linked to and fallow it the letter. Then download a copy of the ROM from the second link and do a full wipe before installing the new ROM.

Clinton
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] droidrage:
I've been using the 1.2 version of Fatality's ROM ever since he made it. It's worked so well I haven't even bothered to try out 1.3 or 1.4.

I find most of the lag with Sense has to do with all the background updating that the new widgets do (stock updates, contact FB syncing, etc..). Once those are minimized it's really zippy.

Personally, I love the connectivity of the UI. Everything just works so well together, it's so tight. I'm looking to get my car hooked up with BT, so we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alaskan84:
Awesome, totally awesome.....as far as A boards go, ClintonH, your link should be the sticky for everything. I followed it exactly, with my rogers magic, and it just worked. I was nervous at first, but each step worked as it said it should. i now am running fatality's magic rom and its amazing. I love the sense ui, and i cant tell any more lag than with the rogers rom. A+++ the wiki might be a tad confusing, but if you use the files specified in clintons link, youll have no issues!:D:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ClintonH:
Good to hear your happy, you should drop a thank you in Skittleguys thread letting him know he's the man.:D I'm just spreading the word.;)

Clinton
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pcm2a:
I thought that too, but I installed it twice and both times I got tons of crashes. The third rom I installed is the Jachero optimized rom and I haven't had one single crash yet.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] daandman:
Can I root my Magic after I have a rom installed (fatality hero)? If so, is it any different or do I just follow the steps like any other root?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ClintonH:
Fatal1ty is already rooted.;)

Clinton
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] computerdan:
I've used Fatal1ty's ROM in the past and never really experienced that many crashes. Then I switched to Hero Pure Black for 32A (compatible with Rogers Magic) and found it to be significantly faster, but still pretty laggy once a good number of apps were installed and running in the background. I, too, wanted to have multitouch and flash capability, but gave it up for speed. I'm now running the HoFo Community ROM and am luvin' it.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ovek:
It does support IMAP but for some horrid reason they haven't given you the option to change the IMAP prefix path, so can become quite unless if all your folders are sub folders of the inbox.

As for IMAP idle even if it was in the email client it probably wouldn't work ;)

This thread is for anyone that wants a more customized rom.

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

I will take any rom released on xda for the dream and customize it to ur liking.

If you don't want the msg/mail widgets or a song played during the boot of ur hero rom I will do that as well.

I won't theme a rom for you nor will i create a rom from scratch, i will only modify it to ur liking.

If this sounds like something that you would want just contact me via twitter or email when you know what you want.

Message me the apps you dont want or apps you want added to the rom.

Twitter - follow me on twitter and post a tweet so i can read it when im not at my computer. Thanks.

Gmail - JeffGalee27@gmail.com

If this isn't the right spot for this thread mod's please move it, I'm just trying to make things easier for the more noobish people in this forum.

Update: There is a rom at the bottom of this page with some specs if you want to try it.

Thanks and happy flashing. :)
[G1 Android Development] virdi:
Well, I guess that's a nice thing to do. Thanks for sharing. Although, I would be interested in a nice tutorial on how to take a ROM off XDA and modify it by removing/adding components... Lemme know if you can help.

[G1 Android Development] JeffGale:
I'm just want people who get frustrated easily to be able to have the same benefits as the rest of us. You just tell me the rom you want, we'll chat for a little and i'll tell you what apps i can take out and you can ask me to add some apps into the rom..if you want a theme i can help you pick the best one for you and other things along those lines. I already have a few requests and I'm going to sleep now but I will try and get you guys ur roms as soon as I possibly can.
[G1 Android Development] spiritplumber:
I could use (a lot of people who do embedded systems stuff could use, actually) a cupcake rom with the serial port enabled, TTYMSM2. This would allow hooking up th Dream to a number of devices (Including a sonar if you want to do the Dark Knight scanner thing ;) ).

Ideally it should have variable baud rate but if thats not an option, a lot of stuff (DGPS, sonars...) still runs at 9600 baud.
