[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mikeybags:
Hey guys,

I got a mytouch yesterday and LOVE it...but I already have the itch to mod it.

I came over from a HTC Herald (well a T-Mobile Wing), so I have some experience in this kind of thing....but it seems "rooting" android is a bit (a lot) more technical and difficult. By the end flashing the Wing was a 5 minute job...now I'm reading this forum and have no idea where to start.

So..........some questions, if you don't mind.

1- What is the advantage of rooting the phone? Obviously it allows you to access system files and stuff...but what's out there right now? How are these ROMs different than the stock stuff? I've heard a bit about multitouch...is that true? What else?

2- If I do root the phone, I assume it clears everything off (including my apps I downloaded)? Is there an easy way to back this thing up? And after the process is complete, is there an easy way to redownload all of the apps, or will I have to write them down somewhere to get again?

3- Whenever donut comes out....what happens then? Are the roms usually updated with the new stuff, or might there be issues? Or are the roms so far ahead that donut will be meaningless? ;)

I think I had another question but I'm forgetting it now...anyway, this is a start.

And I apologize in advance for whatever info is already out on these topics. I read much of this forum, and it's tough, because there are so many posts regarding this stuff, it's difficult to sort out the good information.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] motivecc:
1 there are many benefits that the average user typically wouldn't need... but, the best off the top of my head are of course installing cooked ROMs, having the ability to make system changes as you see fit, access to tethering applications, access to apk's that allow things like multitouch an array of programs built into your phone... the list really does go on... each ROM has its own elements; some are faster, some include multitouch in a lot of programs, some are based on the GUI known as Rosie developed by HTC (which is probably by far the most wanted implementation by newbie root users), the ROMs differ with each chef, so theres really no nailing it on the head

2 typically, any of the recovery images that are loaded onto your ROM when you're going through the root process will allow you to reload a nandroid backup... search up on nandroid and this will give you all the answers you need to know about system and program backup

3 roms being updated just really depends on the community and the chef of that ROM... when parts of donut were released, most of the chefs on this site started to implement them immediatley into their ROM's for the public... if you want true support from your chef of your specific ROM, then donate, simple as that... its their time they're putting in, so give them compensation as you see fit
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mikeybags:
Thanks for the response. Donating is definitely key, these guys deserve to be compensated for what they do, even if it is just for hobby. That goes without question.

Do the ROMs speed the phone up or smooth anything out at all? Not that I've had much issue with that, but coming from a wing I'm a bit paranoid about that. ;)

PS....the fact that programs don't "Close" when you exit them is odd. I got a task killer but it's still crazy that I have to go into that to close everything. Probably my only complaint with android so far.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zambezy:
Ok I will put all my questions here rather than starting multiple threads.

I dont use twitter, Facebook, Flicker., Peep, Teeter, Footprints, Google Talk, LearnMore, Stocks... Is there any way to remove any of these and reduce the number of screens down to 3 or 5? I love the ROM but it is painfully slow some times and even after I task kill some processes come back. It would be nice the get a striped down rom and add the features that you like and make a backup.

Can we extract those for future distributions or cooking our own ROM's?.. the weather, clock, contacts and calendar widgets are the best out there. Love the office, wifi tether and flash implementations.

With WinCE there were kitchens and OEM's making custom ROMs easy to build. Is there something like that for Android???

At last... Can the apps be installed on the SD card instead? I never remove the card.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bonesy:
Using testsign,jar and adb you could remove SOME of the apps you want to.None of the google ones can be removed or you get process.gapps.com error and cant sign in to google.it really is trial and error really, Ive spent the last 2 weeks working out what i can remove from cyanogenMOD roms!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zambezy:
Can you elaborate on the procedure some more...Im new with Android... I have decent exp in WInCE but this is like learning a whole new world.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bonesy:
Have you been using android sdk at all? Im unsure on what exactly ive done to get it all lol

I could upload my android tools folder which has it all in if that makes it any easier?All i know is now when i right click a zip file it comes up with resign as an option.

I have found a helpfull thread here
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zambezy:
I have used the ADk to flash devices not so much for rom building...

My understanding on the process...

get rom...

extract....

figure out what is needed and what is not in the data/app_s folder???

*.apk files ( Android Program Pack....right??? ) and .odex files (BTW what is this file i could not find any information on it.)

resign and repackage...

Flash recovery...

Wipe...

Flash UPDATE.zip...

hope that it works....

That sound right or am I missing something?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zambezy:
Thank you all for your help...

I got the apps uninstalled much easier. =)

SU File Manager & Terminal $$$. It costs money but it is well wort it. Makes editing files on the system much easier. It gives you root access to browse the system.

/data/app_s/...

change what you dont want to *.bak

make sure the system doesn't hang up.

When you are satisfied that its not a vital file move to SD card for later use or delete.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!! You can screw up your phone bad... !!!! Its a powerful tool!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 13bjunkie:
there's also root explorer.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bonesy:
As i understand removing/adding apps to the app_s or app folder means you can uninstall them. Putting them in system/app means you can clear the data only?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] loueber:
any way to get rid of the us tmobile splash screen on start up and shut down?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] angelfire226:
I'm sure there is a way. You might try searching the forums for startup and shutdown screens.

Isn't it ugly? I don't know what they were thinking with this phone. A "mocha" and bronze/gold case with a black screen and then the start and shut down screens are pink and white, with winmo6.1 lime green and to top it all off, the theme is navy blue... and it's next to impossible to change the clock... blech.

I modded my theme to nearly all black... looks a lot better now. Now to get rid of those annoying Tmo SU and SD screens!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Alcibiade:
For various reasons (Hard resets, Phone migratin, wrongly done backups, Change of mailbox name, etc...) I am left after a while with several inbox.mstxxxxxx folders on my SD Card with inside the attachment to my emails & MMS

My Inbox has been rebuilt several times with PIM Bakup so I still ahve, for most of them the emails/MMS linked to tehse attachments

I tried to place all my atachemnets in only one folder, change teh registry to point to this folder for attcahments, untick the box "Save attachments on SD Card", Softreset, retick, soft reset... But Outlook idnt remake the link between attachments & the emails (which I believe is understandable)

Two questions:

1. Any chance to rebuild the link (Maybe soemone has developped some application doing that and I missed it on google...)

2. If not (most likely case), does someone knows of some converter that woudl allow me at least to convert the att file into the origial attachment ? (txt files, pictures, word docs, etc...). That wouldnt be perfect but at least I'd save my documents...

Thanks a lot in advance for your help

Is there a way to do this? For AIM i changed incoming messages to blink purple, but how about for sms, email, etc... thanks!
[G1 General] brian_v3ntura:
you can either download chompsms in the market and change ur sms LED settings there (note that the led change will work only for chompsms)

or

download missed call and change your sms LED settings there.

For SMS messages, you can also download the latest apk mod from rgv151

[G1 General] jonc:
As far as I'm aware there's no way to make the standard notification colour change, but there are lots of apps out there that allow to switch off the standard notifications and replace them with an app-based notification of your choice.

For example, SMSPopup and Missed call allow you to replace the LED colour to one of your choice (from pre-defined colours) as well as change the frequency of the flashes, and also the type of vibration (e.g. long vibrations, short vibrations or combinations thereof)

I recommend SMSPopup as it will also wake up your screen and display the text message, like the majority of phones do as standard.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] gotwake424:
Ok well i just noticed that my MMS is not working. Receiveing only i think. I am currently using Da_G's clean WinMo 6.5 rom. Does anyone know why this would be? It gives me a message with a download ticked and it starts to Download once i click it but then it stays at 0% and stays there for a min or two then says "cannot Receive" Any ideas or thoughts. Btw my phone is connecting to "isp.cingular" should it connect to "media net"

thanks and sorry for the spelling/grammar errors!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Bruce Inman:
Take out the Proxy and make sure to go into connection settings and set everything to connect through MediaNet.

That is prolly your problem.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] gotwake424:
Thanks for the reply, ill try it out and see if it works

EDIT]

That didnt work at all. If i set the internet to not use a proxy then it wont connect to the internet at all!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] gotwake424:
OK the proxy thing did not work at all. How do i change my phone to connect to "Media Net" instead of "isp.cingular"?? Please i really need my MMS working!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] acids7n:
As the Subject says, any chance we could have the Development section broken up into 32A and 32B? or have sub sections or something? I do see that almost all rom/image threads says if it is 32A or 32B but would be really helpful if we could split the two.

Is this the wrong area to put in a suggestion? If so apologies.

I don't know what is required to make a move like this and if it is possible any longer.

Thanks from Vancouver

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] chochobeelai:
Guys, I have a problem with my htc diamond.

I purchased it used, and although the seller showed it to me working it started to go all funky on my an hour later. The problem I am seeing is this:

Sometimes the phone does not turn on, I would have to take out the battery and placed it back in, sometimes a few times before i can get it to turn on. When it does turn on, it doesnt last long, sometimes 2mins sometimes 5-10mins. The battery shows 50% charge. THis thing does not want to stay on for more than 30mins! I can not change this thing either, sometimes it charges and than something when i plug it in nothing happens. As well if the phone is one it gets pretty warm for a cell phone. I have never held a phone that got warmed liek this while not talking on it.

Does anyone thing this cell is cooked and i got a lemon or do you think it is a battery issue?

Thanks for any advice.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] number16:
Don't know for sure, but sounds like it can be a battery issue.

And the Diamond DOES get pretty warm if you have wifi / GPS / data turned on for a while.

Load a new rom on your card, wipe, and update and see if that fixes your problem.

[General Questions and Answers] megaoptimus:
Greetings all.

I've decided to switch to an android phone after using my 2g iphone since launch. I'm not certain I'm willing to spend the money on a hero though I would love to because of the 3.5mm jack at the top but that certainly isn't worth an extra $300. I've played with a rooted G1 and was impressed with it and found it to do everything I want it to do. My query is thus:

The G1 would be the cheapest option for me with the magic not too far behind so both are on my immediate radar. I'm leaning more towards the magic if I can find a 288 version on ebay for a decent price. The 3.5mm is fairly important to me but I'm willing to adapt if need be, such is life. Sooo, do you guys think I should wait a few months to compare some of the other android phones coming or just go with the G1 or magic as an entry machine? The G1 I played with seemed to do pretty well but the dude I borrowed it from had an assload of stuff on it and it seem to be a little sluggish to me. H was thinking it wouldn't be much of an issue with the 288 ram magic. Thanks in advance for any opinions on the matter.
[General Questions and Answers] Sirgatory:
Go with the magic or wait for another option if you require a hardware QWERTY.

The G1(as up to date as it is) is soon to be obsolete.

Not trying to put down the g1, as i owned one, but in my opinion you get better support and software with a newer device down the road.

I have a Garmin iQue M3, that when turned on...will just show the Garmin iQue blue start-up screen solidly, or will flash.

I have had my Garmin iQue M3 for about three years now. The battery is still really good on it.

Normally, it charges while being in the car cradle that connects through a cigarette port.

I decided to charge it using the wall outlet last night, and this morning it wasn't working right. I tried a soft reset, hard reset, taking the SD card out, charging through car, charging through house.

The power light doesn't come on at all either. Not when turned on or charging.

I also tried connecting it to the computer, and nothing happens.

Please let me know if there's anything I can try.

Somebody told me to look on this site for a rom to put on the SD card, but I could not find anything about one for my device.
