He may need to first root his phone and flash a modified recovery image (CM 1.4)before he can use a modified rom.

The link I posted is a different way to root and install a custom rom, without having to sign in to the phone after an RC29 downgrade(to use telnet). But it wont help him if he is already stuck at the sign in screen, only if he would have done it before hand.

you are either gonna have to move an adp rom from your computer, or have a friend put it on on their sd card and you flash it on yours. there is no other magical way to get the files on your g1 if no data. no root = no adb

Hi All

I am toying with an application idea from last couple of days. That is an application organizer with folder structure in android menu tray.

With the market place full of free applications, users end up in downloading and having several applications on their phone and its too difficult to find the right one quickly. In the Nokia Symbian based phones, user is able to create a folder in the menu and then drag the applications to the folder. Thus the main screen stays clean and applications are organized more efficiently.

I tried to search for a similar application in market and found “apps organizer”. Though it does the similar thing but on a very basic level. I suppose there is a vast scope for improvement and making it user friendly.

The best solution will be something where we can replace or extend the default menu tray but I don’t think that is possible without any hacks (need comments from the experts) so may be an application which will present a similar UI to default tray and provide all features we might need to make it more user friendly.

Though we are already working on it but on elementary stages and if you guys think its no worth, why should I waste the time, resources and of course money :)

Any comments or suggestions are most appreciated.

Please let us know about the features you would like to see in it.

Does anybody have the nike WM 6.5 kernel so we can use more modules when cocking rom's???

Thanks in advance!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] lapy:
No one has it cause it doesn't exist atm (and i think it won't be released ever, the other kernels were released by Microsoft or the same HTC).

If there's someone so skilled to code this kernel maybe we can hope. Otherwise, modules to files is the (ugly) way to go.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] pmmfleandro:
i've seen some kernels for old models like hermes... i don´t know if thei are real... thats why i asked?

how do we go from modules to files??? do you have some link to a tutorial???

Good day to all:

In the last few days (3 to 4) I have been having problems in viewing picture from the web browser. It may sound weird, but, before I could search any picture on Google, click on the picture and then click on the tab that said view full size, and what would you know, it would let me see the picture in full size. Now when I click on the tab that says to view full size, the picture stays the same size, when I tried to download the picture instead of downloading the full bits of information, it would only give me partial information. For example, go to Google and search trucks (image) the first truck picture would be two trucks sculpture forming an “S”, the picture, click on it, you will see that the picture is 64k, now in the bottom right it would say “View full size”, click on it, now you got only the picture, on the menu tab click “resize image”, now you will see that the image stays the same but with more white around the picture.

Now, here is one that it will bit you but, if I sync my phone to the computer and do the same procedures, the picture will grow larger to its full size. If I use a Wi-Fi connection to access the internet this also happens (Get the full size in the picture).

I have done a soft reboot and a hard reboot, check my User Agent that came default on my phone, changed it to a HTC-8900 User Agent from the HTC-TyT II setting by way if the “Kaiser Tweak”, called AT&T for help (They got ?????).

I am running on my cell phone OS 5.2.19214 (Build 19214.1.0.4)

Please HELP!!!

Hey all,

Over the last few days, I've spent a large amount of time researching a way to flash cyanogen onto my phone. I've gone though this tutorial:

http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/10/04/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-4-1-99-on-your-g1-android-phone/

and come into problems here:

http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/09/21/the-complete-step-by-step-guide-to-rooting-your-android-phone/

Step 15 -- from my research, it appears that this 'hack' or 'exploit' was fixed since 1.6 was released. This prevents me from backing up and loading nandroid to flash with cyanMOD. The error is "Can't backup" or something very general like that.

So, I went to the IRC channel and got great help from 'franta' which suggested that I need to 'goldcard' my sim. I found a website that will do it for free, but it looks sketchy and it appears that I need 2 sim cards to do this (1 would be to goldcard, and the other is my t-mobile, right?)

So, all in all, a few questions and if I could be lead in the right direction, would be very helpful and appreciated! :)

1.) Is goldcard the way to go? Why?

2.) Do I really need 2 sim cards? Why?

3.) Are there any other solutions to this? I've tried about 3 other ones which have resulted in a complete wipe (kinda needed that anyway!)

Thanks for the help in advance! :)

Issue is, when I downgrade from R30, I cannot format my SDCARD to FAT32.

Whenever I try, the SDCARD automatically unmounts and remains as a FAT. Is this a known problem I will have to endure until there is another way around this?

I should note I've tried XP, Vista, and Windows 7 computers (I have Ubuntu access, but haven't tried that).

Infact, if I even venture into "manage" for My Computer OR format via cmd prompt it unmounts itself. /facepalm

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mister.knister:
Hi,

i have seen in the ROM development section there is a official T-Mobile 6.5 ROM (GER). I´ve installed it, but is is quite ugly. Only one cool thing about it is "Mobile TV". It is nothing else than a opera Browser that opens the Webpage

http://wnwmobiletv.tzoneshost.net

You must pay for the channels but cool is you can watch german footbal for 5 Euros a month.

http://www.t-mobile.de/mobiletv/0,20332,23173-_,00.html

As I am a german T-Mobile client I could use this service, but it only works with the original T-Mobile ROM.

When I use a cooked ROM an go to the page and select a channel is says "unsupportet terminal".

Does anybody know if there is a solution to get it work ?

How does the Website recognize that is not a T-Mobile ROM ?

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] hypersonicx:
I havnt purchased my HTC Pure yet but I do plan on getting one. In the meantime I was curious.

Is it possible to load the HTC Sense UI from the HTC HD2 and load it on the ATT Pure?

The HTC Sense UI im talking about is the one found in this youtube vid I found on Endgadget

http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/08/htc-hd2-gets-itself-a-promo-video-and-a-website/#continued
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bizybone:
You would need to flash this ROM
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] hypersonicx:
So would that particular rom be possible on the ATT Pure? Or would hardware differences prevent it from running like its being ran on the HD2
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bizybone:
You should be able to flash it no problem but since the Hardware Keyboard on the Pure is different from all variants of the Diamond2 then you would have to find a cab or registry tweak to change keyboard layout.

Edit: The ROM is built for Diamond2 even though it's using packages from the HD2
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] davecote:
Pure has no hardware keyboard

The pure doesn't have a hardware keyboard, and yes, there are numerous ROMs cooked by chiefs already that have the sense UI found in the HTC Leo (aka HD2). You just have to pick one and flash away
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bizybone:
lol what was I thinking, yes at the time of my last posting I was thinking so much of the Tilt2 as I had just placed an order for it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] davecote:
Yea, I have the Pure, but debating about returning it for the Tilt 2, if only for the larger screen space. But the camera on the Pure is really good compared to the Tilt 2 (5 MP vs. 3.2 MP). Oh, what to do????
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] noggind614:
it all bottoms down to whether you want a keyboard or not. if you have a phone i'm guessing you have a digital camera so you probably won't be using said phone to take studio quality photos, just quick snaps here and there. and the .4 inches in the screen also won't make a big deal. if you can type pretty well on the pure and what to save some money stick with the pure. if you are a person who prefers a physical keyboard and the price doesn't matter to you get the tilt 2.

[Dash 3G, Snap General] rosco32:
was wondering is there an app to enable bluetooth modem on the dash 3G itching to connect it to my psp go ........or is there a custom rom i can flash to enable this.......someone .........HELP!!!
[Dash 3G, Snap General] rhavasy:
Yes

First, your PC needs Bluetooth drivers/software which enable Personal Area Networks (PANs). For me (Broadcom Bluetooth drivers) I right-click the B icon in my Vista tool tray and have a "Connect to Bluetooth PAN" option. YMMV ...

If you can join a Bluetooth PAN on your PC, then find Internet Sharing on the Dash, and change "PC Connection" to Bluetooth PAN."

Hit Connect on the Dash, join the PAN on the PC, and the Bluetooth software on the PC should guide you through the rest. For the first connection it should ask you click on a device (whatever the device name of your phone is) and then to type in a key on the phone to ensure you are connecting to the correct device. After that you just need to enable the connection on the phone and join the PAN from the PC.

Good luck.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
The System apps are installed on the data partition (rosie, htc widgets, etc....)

If you really prefer them on your sd card

you can symlink /data/app_s

back to

/system/sd/app_s

I find it better that they are on the data partition because Im not gonna use the data partition that much and it makes it easier to wipe from hero to cyan

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
thats a rom related problem.

how do you know its installing to the data partition? can you see the files in an explorer? because when you install an app, its cache is stored on the data partition and can be as big as the app itself
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp1783:
well, not only does it show in the root file explorer, but it's also taking tons of internal storage. I'm at 30 MB right now. I'm just wanting to have everything installed to the SD except the system apps. When I first flashed the rom, I had 47 MB. After installing all my stuff I'm at 30.

Does anyone have any suggestions on this? I'm at 27 MB free on Maxisma's 1.7. I'm not sure what else to try I've tried removing the apps from the internal memory, and it deletes them, I've tried removing them from the SD card, which also deletes them.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
have you upgraded to his latest rom?

maybe that will fix the problem (you can also nandroid and reflash the version you have)

if those dont work, you may have to symlink /data/apps to /system/sd/apps

i believe an old symlink may still be there cause it to go to both places but im not 100% sure. did you wipe before installing?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp1783:
Yeah, I wiped, I also just flashed 1.7.1 about 20 minutes ago, and I'm at 26MB now. How do I symlink?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.nocturna:
Ugh. Don't worry about it. That's just your data cache taking up space on your /data/ partition. Your apps are still installing to /system/sd/app/ the reason you see them in /data/app is because /data/app/ is symlinked to /system/sd/app/ to that the system is fooled to think that everything in /system/sd/app is actually in /data/app (which is basically the entire concept behind apps2sd). The only real thing you can do to increase your internal memory is to do the same with the system apps. Go look up the tutorial to symlinking your folders via busybox. Everyone used to have to do that manually before these scripts were out so they should still work. Or you can symlink your data to /system/sd/data/ one or the other. Your choice.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp1783:
So....this should work...

ln -s /data /system/sd/app

??
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
no..... the data is already symlinked properly....

if you want more space, your gonna have to symlink /system/app to /system/sd/app_s

If you install something, it will take up space on your data partition......its the cache

wipe and reflash. youll get the space back and the apps will still be there

you can leave it the way it is though. its not gonna fill up anytime soon. have you also cleared your browser cache? that can take almost 10mb of space under normal usage
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.nocturna:
should be

ln -s /system/app /system/sd/app_s because as B-man said above, apps2sd is already done for you. This is to move system apps (nandroid before you attempt it)

Alternatively, you can try:

ln -s /data/data /system/sd/data

to move your /data/data folder to /system/sd/data with the above command, but I think there's already a script set up for this that is enabled via editing the user.conf. Its at the top "data2sd" or something like that. Try setting that to "1" before using the symlink. But make sure you already: mkdir /system/sd/data so that it has a folder to symlink to. Never actually tested this feature, so I would nandroid/switchrom before attempting this.

EDIT: Formatting/Clarity
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp1783:
OK, I actually did this:

cd /data/data/com.android.browser/cache

rm -R webviewCache

mkdir /sdcard/webviewCache

ln -s /sdcard/webviewCache webviewCache

Which took care of about 8 MB. So I think I should be good going forward. I saw some other things I can do too, like moving the google maps cache, I think that should help too.

Thanks so much for everything.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.nocturna:
Looks good except that I would link it to something on /system/sd/(webviewCache) so that if you decide to mount your sdcard, and use the browser at the same time (for some godforsaken reason) then your phone won't go to hell trying to figure out where to put its cache.
