The image file is already only accessible by the system. In fact, I could make it natively encrypted quite easily but that would decrease performance.
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Oh, God no. You do realize this opens up a huge security hole by allowing apps(including ones with root privileges) to be stored on the FAT32 file system which has no permissions, right? Meaning that if a rogue app(even one without root permissions) is on the device it can replace a trusted app with root privileges with malicious code. This has been discussed before and found to be a very bad idea. Please, please, please consider retracting this.
[G1 Android Development] narcopolypse:
I do realize that this is possible. I also know that it is extremely unlikely. I would even go so far as to say nearly impossible so long as it is not included in any roms. As I stated in my previous post it is a simple task to make the image encrypted and I would be willing to do so if requested. As it stands right now, I am not worried about malicious attacks but rather weeding out bugs. Walking out your front door is a dangerous thing but we do it anyway. We can't stop making progress just because of the minuet risks.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
This is insecure and I don't recommend using it. Please don't use it on my ROM and come reporting bugs because I won't help you.
[G1 Android Development] narcopolypse:
Thanks a lot for the support. I'm so happy to see people helping each other and working on solutions to problems instead of condemning people for not being perfect.

[G1 Android Development] jacobfogg:
It's not an issue of condemning people who aren't perfect, it's a matter of encouraging people to make secure decisions and not endorsing or supporting unsecured ones...

If you drop your phone in the toilet T-Mobile will not "support" fixing your phone. That doesn't mean they condemn you for imperfections, they just won't help you because of your poor actions.

I love the idea behind this... I think it's brilliant, but it has some significant security implications that need to be addressed before the general populous starts using it.

The scary thing is, the people who will want to use this because they are afraid or don't know how to make an ext3 partition, will be the same people who don't realize they just installed malicious code on their phones.
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Sorry, wasn't trying to steal your thunder or rip support out from under you; I just want to make sure we don't introduce security flaws like this into Android. On the other hand, if you manage to get Android to accept a full ext2/3/4 sd card that can be used to store apps securely, along with files or even NTFS, just anything that actually has some security and permissions behind it, I would fully back you, as I'm sure cyanogen and just about anyone else would do.

EDIT: Also, for the "Oh, God no", I didn't mean to be rude, I was just flabbergasted to see this again, since I, along with JesusFreke and some others fought against a similar project several months ago, for the same reason.
[G1 Android Development] narcopolypse:
Just the same, I think I'll leave this off the forums until I can find a way the make it secure. I didn't get any feedback on its functionality anyways. Until then I think I'll just re-release the backup system that's built in to this so people can unmount their existing ext partitions without breaking anything.
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Sounds great.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I'm not trying to be a douchebag, but you aren't the first person to propose this idea. It's true that it is very easy to set up, but it has a lot of security problems as Marcus pointed out. It's easy to think "no one would do that anyway", but I can name about a dozen people off the top of my head who would write code to take advantage of these problems.

What we really need are ways to encrypt data on the SD, and a way to "detach" the applications from the system so you can eject the card. The second one is the tricky part. It would also have to rescan when the card is reinserted.
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
For the first part, it seems to me like it'd be easier to just have Android use a file system with permissions for the whole sd card(1 partition). Then it could just make any random files you get have full read/write permissions(777 for the permissions bits) and keep the same permissions it already uses for apps, data, etc. That way there's no worrying about encrypting/decrypting anything and everything still has the same permissions that it does already. You're right about the second part, that's probably the most important thing we need. It's a little annoying at the moment with it just restarting the phone after unmounting from a computer.

dropped it out of a window onto a wooden ramp/walkway. it slid about 5m to the bottom.

it landed on the corner where the power icon is embossed and it hard enough to take a big chunk out of it.

also scraped off a fair bit of paint from the walkway onto the touchscreen.

gave it a good wash and not a single scratch on the screen and is 100% working.

Swimming

My Topaz was at the bottom of a just-chlorinated swimming pool for 15 minutes! Had to be rescued with a net because of the chlorine having just been added. (clunk-tile-clunk)

Two days later phone turns on as if nothing happened, works without any issues bar 1, which is that it appears to not charge anymore due to some corrosion on the board. Winging its way to HTC as we speak to see what they can do! Heres hoping, would be a sad waste of a Diamond2.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] jimbouk:
Have you the contact details for HTC, i put my D2 through the washer, it turns on and works but battery goes flat within a few hours, cant sync with computer and wifi doesnt work. I called HTC help but they were pretty unhelpfull the girl was just reading her script and didnt want me to send it back as she said they wouldn't be able to repair it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThR1LL:
So yeah... I dropped my phone and killed my screen and now I'm going to take it to T-Mobile since I bought insurance on my phone to get it replaced :o What are the chances of them giving me a PVT board vs a DVT?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gospeed.racer:
wasn't it decided that the radio was the only real problem? As in, just flash the radio first and your safe? I have had a good 10 G1's that I have flashed and have never checked to see if they were PVT or DVT. Sorry, I know it doesn't answer your question
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThR1LL:
I'm not that educated in the motherboards of G1's so if the phone has a DVT board does that mean it has a 32A board or do all G1's have 32B? Lol I run Hero so I don't wanna lose this ability, and I can't live with a rooted G1 if I don't have Cyan's Recovery.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gospeed.racer:
Hmm, me either now that I do some researching. I thought your concern was dealing with the old brick/spl thing...which the radio update before spl fixed. I guess I need to bow out and hope someone more knowledgeable on this subject comes along.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThR1LL:
Actually I didn't know the radio before SPL worked on DVT boards. So if I find news that DVT boards are in fact 32B I won't mind at all. Thanks for the good info :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gospeed.racer:
..and that is what I am not 100% sure of...please wait for others to verify first! I would hate to feed you the wrong info

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mykenyc:
is there anyway to remove apps like peeps from hero rom and will it break the system?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Yes there is, you can do it with any app you want and the system will be fine. I use the terminal as it's easiest:

Gain su

su

First we need to know the name of the apk:

cd /system/sd/app_s/
ls

This will show you the name of the packages. You could also find that out by opening to zip file of the rom and going to the data/app_s directory if you have a computer near you.

Now remove the .apk and .odex (it may not have an odex file, we'll run the command just incase it does, if it doesn't it will tell you there's no such file, no biggie)

rm -r name.apk
rm -r name.odex

Some apps like peep also have widgets. Peep's widget is named com.htc.TwitterWidget.apk, so remove that too.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hettbeans:
This never used to happen, but I switched to a new charger (my car charger with a wall socket adapter) and now, when the phone is charging, any touch input to the screen gets..well..I suppose the best word is "Garbled". If I try and switch between homescreen pages, it will almost appear as if it is "struggling" to do so, like, it will shake and stutter and maybe get halfway to the new page but will stay on the first. When browsing, about eight of ten touches to anywhere on the screen will immediately send the page to magnifying glass mode.

This only occurs when charging, and only since I started using this new charger adapter. Any ideas?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaolinx:
I had a very similar problem but what i had was an USB AC adapter. I plugged the phone into the USB slot using the USB cable. Everything seems to be charging fine but then it starts to really screw up.

This did not occur when recharge from the laptop. So It was easy to conclude that there was some kind of problem with the charging unit compatibility.

Maybe you should also try a different charger.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbgmode:
Basically this is a question on how to make an app.

What I want it to do:

Basic funtionality is scan a webdirectory and list files found.

Then user has option to download file and install.

Want to make one like the theme installer in ahome

Currently use the browser to do this but think an app would be neet.

Or if someone can walk me through using smali to know how they did it.

Not trying to rip the launcher but just the install from web function.

Basically learning little by little how to.

If someone can point me on a book or tutorial on how to greatly appreciate it.

Currently going to start taking a course on unix and linux so hopefully that helps me understand this more.

Motive:

To make apps to give back from what I received.

And if I can help in anyway I want to.

Tmobile version of Tp2 sucks!

They made it uglier by removing the chrome, took off the secondary front facing camera, and changed the beautiful original HTC black and white theme w/ real flip clock. If it wasn't for the US 3G, I would have gotten the original htc tp2.

Speaking of flip clocks, does anybody know how to change tmobiles non-flipping clock just like what they have on the original htc tp2? I tried the sprint2flipclock.cab, changed my clock, but won't expand in landscape and removed my world timer. Thanks to anybody who can help in advance.
[General Topics] commodoor:
You could try to flash the phone, use custom roms.

Thanks, I didn't think it would be too much hassle just to replace a non- flipping clock with real flip clock. Thought it would be just a cab file. Hopefully, the free WM 6.5 upgrade has the real flip clock, don't know how long I have to wait though...

thanks for reply in advance
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] sonofwind2008:
Most likely hardware issue. Battery have 4 contact points connect to the atom. The middle 2 contacts are for battery status display. If the contact got problem, either from battery or from phone, it will always show 100%. Try other battery, if can show the status correctly, then battery problem, if still 100%, then phone problem.

I have a Asus P320 phone running the custom wm 6.5 ROM by hdubli , I am unable to receive anything via bluetooth on the phone , if i try to send something it goes successfully . Is there a workaround ?

- I have checked Receive all incoming beams

- I have checked Turn on Bluetooth and Make Discoverable . In fact i am seen by other phones and can even pair with them however if they try to send anything it either says sending failed or something similar . I am talking about non wm phones here (Nokia 7210 , Nokia 5800 , Nokia e63) , havent tried with any wm phone .

Is this a platform limitation , hardware limitation or maybe the firmware has a bug ?

[G1 General] PorchG1:
I have a strange problem. In my truck, I have an old Nokia bluetooth hands free that works great with the G1 and I can make and get calls with it. I use a headphone cable to send tunes and podcast to the radio as I drive around.

When I get a call, the music pauses, and I can pick it up on the hands free. But when the call ends, the music resumes but only plays out the speaker on the back of the phone. I have to unplug and replug the headphone adapter before it works again. Annoying if I get a lot of calls and I just know this connector is not going to last with the repeated use.

I have tried a few different headphone adapters with the same result. It does this under the music app and DoggCatcher, the only two apps I have tried.

Is this a bug in the G1 or just my phone? And ideas how to fix?

I am running JF 1.51.

Thanks

[G1 General] PorchG1:
I have a nandroid backup and all the apps and data backed up with My Backup. It just takes a good 4 hours to reinstall all the apps and get the phone back to the way I like it. I would rather try another rom at the same time. I need to find time.

I am just wondering if anyone else does this BT + headphone jack combo so I know it's a problem that can be fixed by flashing, or is it a strange bug that I found.

I just got a new phone (but Im still keeping my g1) so I inserted an a brand new unregistered sim card in my g1, so I dont get the "no sim inserted icon but I don't think this matters" , and I have it connect to the internet via wifi and I decide to turn on my gps and what do you know, it works.

I go google maps and and select "my location" and it works. It was able to find my location. Then I try copilot and that works too... wich means I can continue to use my g1 as a gps device since copilot has its maps preloaded.

Maybe you knew about it already but this is news to me. I just hope people will get some use out of this.

P.S

I also figured out that I cant text people through google voice (App) using wifi (and no active sim card) although this was a little more obvious of a discovery. I guess this is good for people who have their line cut off or for people like me who still want the g1 as a second phone.
