[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Reverend Gridlock:
Oh yeah, now that you have cm-recovery 1.4, you can do that now

Hey david can you give this nice young man the commands
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strless01:
Is it going to erase all my contacts again?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Reverend Gridlock:
Formating the card. No. The wipe you are going to need to do before you flash a new rom on your phone, yes and you will have to sign back into google again
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strless01:
Will I be able to sign in with WIFI? And I'm okay with the contacts, but whats the command to partition it?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
To delete existing partitions and repartition via recovery console, here are the commands once you've entered console and then hit enter to get to the prompt:

Copied & pasted from another thread HERE...

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

print (to verfiy we know what size card we are dealing with. Mine was 8166 read below if yours is different)

rm 1 (if you had more than 1 partition you would want to rm them as well)

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 7622

mkpartfs primary ext2 7622 8134

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 8134 8166

quit

upgrade_fs

recovery

If you just want one partition for fat32, just use the first mkpartfs command and use 0 through whatever the total size of your card is...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yes you can sign in over wifi. What's the command to check partion size, I know it is something like print
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
Check my post (#20) for directions.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strless01:
I'm on a 2GB. I type it and it says "Error: Could not start device /dev/block/mmcblk2 - No such file or directory.

Retry/Cancel?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
If it's doing that when you type "parted /dev/block/mmcblk0", then you'll have to find another way to format your card. You said it is read by your dad's phone... can you put it in there and hook the phone up to a PC to format it that way?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I just wanna say, you just HAD to try the xrom even after I told you that you needed the danger spl for it
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strless01:
I'm sorry.

And it does work now but I'm on the mkpartfs primary fat32 0 7622 part and it says Error: The location is outside of the device /dev/block/mmcblk0.

I just kept following the steps now it says Partition type? primary/extended? i typed primary

Then it says File system type? [ext2]? what should i type?

This is after the linux part.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
Um... wow! You have a 2GB card! Of course you'll get an error when you try to create a partition of about 7.5GB. Follow the directions exactly. When you use the "print" command, it will give the size of YOUR card. Use THAT NUMBER instead of 7622.

Make sure to rm any existing partitions you have... if you have a fat32, ext2, and linux swap, then you'll have to "rm 1", "rm 2", and "rm 3". THEN "print". Then "mkpartfs primary fat32 0 XXXX", where XXXX is the size of your specific card.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
did you

rm 1

rm 2

rm 3

first to get a clean slate?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strless01:

Can you make me an exact script to copy? sorry only 3rd day with phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strless01:
I only did rm 1 and now it says "Partition doesn't exist."
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
mkpartfs primary fat32 0 1987
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
Yup... and since you've already removed partition 1, it no longer exists, which is why it will give you an error if you try to do it again.

Hey david you forget that cyanogen gave us fire and cupcakes
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strless01:
AWESOME! it's working fine now but would you be kind enough to help me on this part to?

mkpartfs primary ext2 7622 8134

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 8134 8166

If you could just change the numbers to my SD CARD cause to be honest I do not know what the hell I am doing. And this is VERY!! appreciated of you guys.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
resize 1 0 1455 (if that does not work do the next step)

rm 1 then mkpartfs primary fat32 0 1455 (if first doesn't work, if it did skip)

mkpartfs primary ext2 1455 1955

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 1955 1987

gridlock if you saw the post i got the question from.... f@#k it here it is.

you would know that i am the provider of fire being the intense flame i gave him lol. and cyanogen just pimped out our cupcakes but he fed us donuts
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
Dude... READ THE THREAD I LINKED YOU TO IN POST #20. That will explain everything to you, since you're a NOOB. Try searching for any other info you need... I promise, you're not unique and these questions have been asked a gazillion times before. Also, check my for the lazy noob thread.

For now, don't worry about those partitions... you don't know what to do with them anyway. Stick to one partition in fat32 and play around. Hopefully you don't brick your phone because you tried doing stuff a simple search would have told you not to.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strless01:
Well I did all that and it worked fine, I rebooted now I'm back to the same old... how will I get back to CYAN's ROM now?

I am constantly reading posts about android here and i cant understand why everybody is so excited about it. Ok, its linux, but so what. Its open-source, but so what. How many of users that are so desiring it has ever change one line of code in any software? 0.0001%? How many times have you edit some config file as there was no GUI to set it up from there? Do you actually know what the file is? And how to edit it without Word ;)? So what is SO cool about it? What is this great thing where the touch hd would be so great with it? I thought it was bragging but you can brag with iPhone, i dont think Linux will ever catch its look AND stability (actually imho linux is one huge pile of bugs that works together by pure coincidence). The amount of software that could be used on a phone is very inferior to Windows Mobile and iPhone, and shell is quite useless as on screen keyboard typing can be only meant as a joke (i actually had to buy myself a folding keyboard)... You like it becoase it is google? Some privacy concerned people would raise eyebrow... You dont like the manilla? What about this: http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pocketpc-software/mobileshell/ ?

So what is so cool about android??

(running ssh to dragonfly bsd host and i really dont understand what linux on phone could be good for)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Arthenik:
Well, basically, Linux and Linux-based systems allow you to polish those bugs. Which is one of the reasons Linux is as bug-free as you can get right now.

And most computer users don't make their own GNU/Linux distributions either, they download their favorite. I don't see why that wouldn't work in a PDA environment.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] demo1987:
I don't agree with you. Android is a Rom-development for the Blackstone, so I agree his placement for this thread.

Back on-topic, I disagree with the fact of android being a spoiler to our Blackstone. Android is an open-source OS for Mobile Phones and I really would like a Android Rom for the Blackstone. Creating my own apps and stuff. I hope it will be developed some day
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] nizzon:
Personally I want it because its smother than winmo, even the old halfworking port feels really smoth and more robust flipping through menues etc. It has that stable feeling Iphone-OS has.

That beeing said, i love where the new manila and Winmo is heading. If they just speed it up and get rid of the flickering and ****ty looking graphics when opening applications it would be more attractive.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] herczyn:
my dad recently bought the htc magic and i can understand whats the hype with android.

its a very nice system for a phone.

what i dont understand is that if you want it, why not buy an android phone? my next phone will probably by android, but for now i'm happy with WM. and i can guarantee you that never will android on a device like blackstone be as good as windows mobile. without the help of the manufacturer it is not possible to get a stable and fully working android port. waste of time. go get a hero.

Thank you stericson, you've done so much for android theming. Can't wait to see what new features you will be adding!
[Android Themes] JeffGale:
Good work stericson. I appreciate everything you do.
[Android Themes] Stericson:
If you are running 4.0.4 just pull services.jar, framework.jar, framework-res.apk, and android.policy.jar. All of these go into /system/framework. Also, pull settings.apk and put it into /system/app. then you should be good to go.

Also, it doesnt matter to me whos you use...Let me clarify, when I say JDWME was the designer I mean the icons being at the bottom, the clock and date being at the top, etc.

While other themers may theme it and make it look different, it will still retain JDWME's layout that he chose to use for the lockscreen.

Regards,

Stericson
[Android Themes] imbonez9:
I agree thank you so much!!!
[Android Themes] prash:
This thread should be stickied since there are both themes with new lockscreens and themes without, and chances are people will flash without reading about what they're flashing. So it will be easier to point them to this thread and let them know what to do if they run into problems.

Thanks Stericson for all the awesome contributions since day 1! Great job on the lockscreen too.
[Android Themes] imbonez9:
Question n hopefully i don't get flamed since having to do with this lock screen. Has the music been fixed or is there already a thread talking about that, that i have missed? Sorry if there was

But yes like Prash said please sticky this
[Android Themes] ganny:
The music hasn't been fixed, it still says "Music controller, work in progress!" I can't wait for the music control to happen, I've been longing for it for a while, as someone who uses his phone regularly (~3 hours a day) to listen to music. I even dabbled with Hero for the lock-screen music controls, but Hero was just far too slow.

And thanks Stericson for your hard work and opening this thread - I've been searching for a thread like this for a while.
[Android Themes] iCe87:
Hello stericson!!for first,thanks you for all your great works!!!...but i have two questions:

1)the battery in the lock screen is moved to the left..what can i do for changing battery position??

2)the message icon in the lock screen is inactive..it is normal??

excuse for my english and thank you again!
[Android Themes] nabzilla1990:
im trying to use this in a theme but i cant get the t-mobile text on the pull down to turn white
[Android Themes] SteveTilsed:
Thanks Stericson! Love it! one quick question,

Do you know if this is regarding your lock screen or specific themes. When receiving calls it current stays on the lock screen so i am unable to see who is calling unless i press menu first. This is ok normally however is rather annoying when catching a call late and having to enter a call blind so to speak.

Thanks again and some more top work!
[Android Themes] jubeh:
good work. I do have a concern though. There's a lot of files involved, and this kind of renders the lockscreen usable only for the framework version it was designed for, since further changes (or backwards compatibility) could pose a problem. Do you think it would be possible to have the android.policy instead call on a separate program and launch a custom lockscreen, making it, thus, slightly more modular. Cyanogen's builds are a moving target and, though his framework hasn't changed much lately, i do feel it's going to be useless once he gets more work into donut and abandons cupcake for good.
[Android Themes] Stericson:
I need screenshots of your battery position...In the newest updates the battery should always be centered, make sure you have the newest updates...

The last icon, undetermined yet what it will be, is inactive.

As for the problem with the lockscreen not unlocking when a call comes in, this is not a lockscreen problem, rather it is a problem with my status bar mod. I believe I may have found a bug in Googles code....Still looking into it...

Also, this will still be good for donut. Cyan is going to implement this into his source and it will be available on all builds there on. As for making a custom app for the lockscreen, calling a method in android.policy.jar... It would still require changes being made to these files which would have to be done on every rom, and it would still be rom specific...so it wouldnt solve anything...I have provided my source so this can be put into other builds....

[Android Themes] blacjac17:
Do to your tough schedule do you expect another month or so for the music control and the undecided icon to be updated
[Android Themes] jdwme:
Have you tried the colorChange.jar thread? I use that everytime an update comes out with the files from the lockscreen and have not had an issue
[Android Themes] Stericson:
I can't say...I'm sorry...this is why I made the source available...maybe someone could do it faster then me?

Stericson
[Android Themes] bruce_wayne:
Curiosity. What would happen if theme was changed to 1 that doesn't contain this lockscreen?
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
if you did this without flashing the ROM in between, then you're in for quite a number of FCs from multiple programs

Hi there...

I'm wondering if anyone has a way of making the Titanium interface a loop or continuous.

For example, if my screen looked like this:

ATFavePeople

CMyPhotos

TitaniumWeather

CPhone

CLauncher

CText

CEmail

I'd like it so that if you scrolled all the way up to ATFavePeople, that you could continue to go UP to CEmail, then CText, etc... And if I went down to CEmail, I could go DOWN to ATFavePeople.

Anyone accomplish this?

Hello Everyone,

I plan to root and install jacxhero1.7r2 onto my g1 which hasn't been modded at all. All I have is the sdcard that was in it. (1gb) I see people with sdcards saying the class of it. Does it matter? Can I use my 1gb card and still run hero the best possible with three partition thingy on it? Does the class of it matter? Please let me know.

Thank You
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Reverend Gridlock:
The better the class, the quicker it can access the card(read/write) I suggest a bigger card than a 1gb, you will fill that up quite quickly. The higher the number, the faster it works
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oshizzle1991:
yeah a 8 gig class 6 is like...what most people accept as the preffered sd card. but i have a 4 gig class 4 and am running jachero whatever just fine. you just need to partition it
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Reignzone:
If you're as "picky" or "OCD" as I am about specific things...then lately you would have realized that every Hero ROM port available for either the G1 or the MyTouch has this "text cram" issue.

If you go to your settings, then scroll down to SD card & phone storage...you'll notice that the letter "E" in storage is completely cut-off due to lack of screen space...or perhaps too large of text for the menu options.

I have been talking a lot about this issue on Twitter, no one seems to have any answers for this extremely annoying detail. Trust me, once you catch it - you don't stop noticing that it's there! ANY THOUGHTS? :confused:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reignzone:
Here's what to look for:

- Open your settings.

- Scroll down to SD card & phone storage.

- WHAT DO YOU NOTICE?

- OH, that's right; THE LETTER "E" of storage is cut-off due to lack of screen space or perhaps the text size is too large for the settings menu.

Now, I have flashed my fair share of HERO ROMS and each and every one I have come across has this exact same problem. It's such a small issue, but when you're "OCD" and these minor issues catch your attention...it's impossible to miss! Trust me, once you manage to notice this - you won't ever be able to forget! I'm sorry.

ANY THOUGHTS? This has to be "fixable" or something.

Wow, the is what you can think of to complain about hero, something so insignificant

[G1 General] uansari1:
Search will give you the information you need. I believe there's a way to bypass the initial sign in so that you can root then install a custom ROM... but afaik, T-mobile will require you to get a data plan and pester you till you do. I do think that with a custom ROM you can do the initial sign in via wifi...
[G1 General] jashsu:
...what?⁯⁯⁯⁯
[G1 General] cudahy_boy:
ok let say that i use a sim with a data plan just to root then install a custom rom ,everytime after i boot will i have to sign in or will that be skipped
[G1 General] cudahy_boy:
i meant to put i hate having to have a data plan
[G1 General] jashsu:
You only need to sign in on the first boot after a wipe, and only if you have a carrier-customized build. Builds based on ADP1 (or any other engineering build) have a "Skip sign in" option. Then you can enter, set up your wifi and then sign in from there.
[G1 General] cudahy_boy:
thanks dont really understand ill figure it out i mostly catch on quick

Okay so I've been running Cyanogen's Mod 4.0.4 and his 1.4 recovery image. I was running out of system memory and wanted to start using Apps2SD, I was reading some info on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4107149 and installed the "Apps2SD" app and made a partition. Rebooted and got a notification that the SD Card was blank or improperly formatted. I then proceded to attempt to follow the instructions for formatting with ADB, my system was having "error finding device" and after some troubleshooting I decided for forget about Apps2SD. Well now all my apps are removed from system memory and on my SD card that is messed up or something... all my icons are blank (except gmail, etc.).

Before messing around at all I did a Nandroid backup and backed up the entire contents of my SD card to my computer.

Well here I am, I grabbed another one of my MicroSD cards and loaded all the files on it (including the Nandroid backup) and when I try to "restore latest backup" I get this message:

D:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)

(I/O error)

Can't mount sdcard, aborting.

I tried using the "mount sdcard" command in the console and I get a similar error.

Anyone have any tips? It's not really the end of the world, I could reinstall all my apps, but I don't like this error message, it has kind of got me worried. Thanks anyone!
