[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
PDA net is the only tehter software that doesn't require root (unless I missed something) but that's USB only. So yes, you'll have to root for tethering over WiFi or bluetooth.

The one click method doesn't require you to wipe, although it is recommended, so if you flash a Cyanogen or JF build all your data should remain in tact.

So, my suggestion is use the one click method to flash Cyanogen's recovery image and from there install Cyanogen's 4.04 ROM without wiping (it's very stable). In theory that should keep all your data. If the phone boot loops after you've flashed Cyanogen's ROM, then just wipe and reflash. That means you would loose your data, but you would have root for tethering.

Rooting is very easy and quick now i believe theres a link in my signiture to my own guide which is very specific but just stop before you partion your sd card
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobn4burton:
Thanks for the info so far. Maybe I'll just root my phone then. So before I root, what are all the disadvantages??? Here are the ones I've seen so far...

1. Could lose all your personal data (although this should be minimized if you backup most of your stuff first using a backup app from the marketplace first)??

2. T-Mobile MyFaves app doesn't work.

3. The built in Instant Messaging app doesn't work for MSN, AIM, etc. (Is there an IM app out there that works as well as the default one? So it keeps you signed in all the time?...I need a good IM app that works all the time and keeps you signed in...)

Anything else??
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harpreet1988:
1. Use my backup pro(not free, idk any free ones, sorry) from market to backup/restore all apps/bookmarks/sms/call log/etc

2. MyFaves app works now.

3. I have no idea, since I use Meebo instead.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Just remember that you can't backup stuff like texts and bookmarks before rooting, as backup apps require root :P
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobn4burton:
Ah...interesting.

So when you root...there isn't really anyway to go back to just how you were before trying to root?? I'm guessing you need root first in order to use a full backup utility like nandroid backup or something?

All in all...I need to root, just trying to figure out for sure what I'm getting into before the jump.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobn4burton:
Does it? Does it come stock with cyanogenmod 4.0.1 or 4.0.4? Or do you have to install it after the fact? Any links that talks about how to do this?

Does it work pretty well for you? Does it keep you signed in all the time? Even when your phone goes idle? Do you like it as good as the default Android IM app?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harpreet1988:
You can use most backup programs without rooting.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harpreet1988:
You can install it (use "appsinstaller" from market) to install the .apk.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=542267&page=2

You can get it from this thread.

I don't use the default IM app because I don't have unlimited texting. I like meebo, though sometimes it signs out, it has an auto sign-in option. It works for me. YMMV
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
It looks like MyBackup from the Market doesn't require root and has a 30 day free trial :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] TOpazzz:
Hi guys,

I was wondering if it is possible somehow to synchronize my bookmarks from Firefox to Opera in my TD2? I have pretty much bookmarks and do not want to type each adress into my phone. If somebody knows better way I would be thankful.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Steeve24:
Try:

Searched for Bookmarks to Opera

Searched for Favorites to Opera

But for me I use Import IE Mobile Favs to opera this way the bookmarks are synced with your PC via activesync, then run the program on the TD2 to transfer them across from PIE to Opera mobile

Note: It won't do folders in folders and I had problems trying to transfer lots (hundreds) of bookmarks.

For you you'd have to export/import them from Firefox first, which is what I had to do, but I use Opera desktop (I'm aware of the irony of having to transfer bookmarks from Opera desktop to IE then to PIE then Opera mobile, but I couldn't get the opera.adr file to transfer (& work) and until Opera get Opera link working on Opera mobile (they've got it on Mini) I'll have to use this crazy way around!!!)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sk8inmonk:
I want to create a rom that is just based around TF3D, i have tried so many times at creating my own, but my laptop just messes it all up (seriously have no idea why) it crashes and comes up with loads of errors.

I want to make one that only has the following programs:

Opera - any version compatible with tf3d

File Explorer

Office

Notes - no OneNote just notes

Audio booster

Windows Media

Album - Do we need pictures and video?

Camera - obviously

S2U2 - users can install the manila style theme

Youtube

We just need the pure basics no internet explorer or anything like that.

OK HERE's THE SOLUTION. Thanks to everyone who made the great tutorials available to us :

http://hydtech.wordpress.com/2009/09/14/how-to-connect-to-ad-hoc-networks-using-tmobile-g1-android/

The important part is to tweak the windows part - you need to tell the broadband/adsl internet connection to share itself to the Private wireless network (the network manging your Wireless adapter). If you are having trouble with the windows part (say you connect and have full bars on the phone but no access to web) google ICS (internet connection sharing) in windows and you should get it working.

*Important notice: AdHoc will drain your battery very fast (1hour tops)

Maybe one of the reasons they disabled it... If you cant cope with taht - get a router. I'm cheap and I'm using it like that

[G1 General] NeoBlade:
I've not had any issues tethering to my Laptop, you can use either aNetShare or Wireless Tether for Root users. Best to connect the G1 via miniUSB too to your laptop to save battery while in use.

I tether at hotels or on my travels to write posts etc although the main sites I visit I can just use the G1 anyway.
[G1 General] AdrianK:
Ooooooooh this is for tethering, via I remember using the AdHoc method my ex-iPhone.

I thought it was a way to activate adhoc so the phone could connect to any adhoc connection. Like when I tried to connect my G1 to my friends N95 so I could use 3G connection (yeah got very bored in class one day :P)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Eraser85:
Hi all,

I'm a c++ / c# and OpenGL developer. I was looking into developing an application for Windows Mobile 6.1+ which mimics the HTC interface (gray-ish background, finger friendly buttons, sliders like slide-to-answer, etc..). I've tried the most naive method, using picture boxes with backgrounds and mousemove events for sliding controls.. but the result is kinda sluggish with flickering problems.

So, I was thinking about using OpenGL ES for drawing all of the form controls as textures and then using opengl to animate in a smooth way.. but then I tought: is this the way Manila works outside the today plugin? Like all the various applications found in Manila 2.5/2.6..? Or there is a better way of doing things?

Thanks for the brainstorming,

Michele

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KryptBoi:
I do not know how to make themes myself so I have to depend on others for that; however, I have this idea but I'm not sure if it will work, so I hope someone here can help me.

I really like the community hero mix theme, but I'd like to have a different launcher, the one from the NFL San Diego Chargers theme.

I've downloaded and flashed the vistalauncher.zip over the community hero mix theme to have the vista launcher instead of hero launcher. And I've noticed that in every theme file, there are a bunch of apk files, and there is one in called launcher.apk; so I assume that this apk is responsible for the look of the launcher ???

So I'd like to know if I could just replace the file launcher.apk in vistalauncher.zip with the launcher.apk that I extracted from NFL SD Chargers theme and flash that new file over the community hero mix theme to have what I want???

Thanks in advance for any help
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] learningmore:
This should be in the theme section or q&a. Anyhow you can just extract the Vista launcher.apk you want and push it with adb or terminal or rootfileexp, voila now u have the launcher you want along with the theme you want.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] southsko:
NICE, OK flashing
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android0014:
Can I just install the launcher.apk file the way I install every other apk files instead of pushing the file to the phone?? I tried pushing and I'm still very unsure how the process. I pushed the launcher.apk file that I wanted right? nothing came up, so I decided to push another launcher.apk file (a completely different file ) then the look of the launcher from the first launcher.apk file came up. So I just wanna know since it's an apk file, can I just install it the way we all install apk apps on the phone?

Also how do I access the root of my phone, I believe it's /system, right? and yes my phone has been rooted.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
If you want to flash it you have to resign the file. To push the file do this in the recovery console

mount sdcard
mount system
cp /sdcard/Launcher.apk /system/app/Launcher.apk
rm /sdcard/Launcher.apk (to delete it off your sdcard after copying it since it is no longer needed on your sdcard)
reboot

That will replace the launcher with the one on your sdcard. You cannot install core apks like a regular apk since system is normally read only.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android0014:
so those apks are core apks thanks.

nvm
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
things that get installed to /system are considered core apps. things like the browser, launcher, music, camera,, those kind of things. you know the things that are on your phone even after you wipe everything and start fresh.

Hello there

Quote:

1. Download SoftSPL by the-equinoxe.

2. Download the IPL/SPL based on your device and carrier(attached below)

3. Extract SoftSPL to its own folder and then extract the nk.nbf file from the correct IPL/SPL to the SoftSPL folder.

4. Run Start-sSPL.exe and follow the simple directions. It is almost fully automated(your screen will turn white during the flashing process and it will appear to have crashed. This is normal so just proceed like normal)

5. HardSPL should now be removed if everything worked properly. Depending on your device and Carrier, download the appropriate Rom for your device:

* T-Mobile MDA Official WM5 Rom

* AT&T 8125 Official WM5 Rom

* Vodafone Qtek 9100 Official WM5 Rom

* Orange SPV M3000 Official WM5 Rom

* O2 XDA Mini S Official WM5 Rom

6. Flash the Rom you just downloaded. There you have it. You have successfully removed HardSPL and reverted back to your carrier's latest rom and restored the CID lock.

What exactly is IPL/SPL?

Is that the Stuff from the Provider?

I'm living in switzerland and my provider is "sunrise" which IPL/SPL should i take?

My phone is a Touch Pro 2

There was WinMo 6.1 on the device

Hope you can help me

but where can i get the right spl version and what radio version?? i really need to send my phone back.. so pls help^^

after reflashing the phone should be like at the beginning right or can't i use the phone after that anymore?

sorry i might be an idiot
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
Yep, you got the process.

Radio's are in the Sticky by At0mAng.

The Stock SPL 0.79 is in the Hard SPL thread (called relocker). cmonex is working on an 0.84 relocker.

When you're done it should be like it was when you got it.
