Not only region, it's also dependent on device capability. If the dev flags his app as QVGA, and you have WQVGA or VGA, then you won't see it. Same goes for other features such as GPS etc.

Still, thanks to the completely f***ing STUPID decision to not let you choose where you can install apps, the Marketplace has pretty limited use for now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] intimidatorx31:
Really? only trial version?

I thought i read on that site provided in the first link

that there would be a free version but it would have limited features.

I have yet to find anything that indicates you can divert it to SD.

It's not exactly my expertise.

But i'm pretty sure a few others will also take a deeper look into the files.

Might even be that simply temporary changing the "\Program Files" registry into "\Storage Card\Program Files" (SDMemory value) before starting App store and then putting back the default value after closing Appstore, might do the trick.

I was planning on playing around with it this weekend but maybe some other fellow members do have all the time and Tools available to them in the time being to try it out.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MasterTP:
so any one had a chance to try it ou? Is it any good?

Why not just try midomi as others have suggested? It's actually free. http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-midomi.html

Yeah, Midiomi is really good. And you can install it to a card :P
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Noonski:

With a samsung behold, I was able to browse a few wap websites (such as http://mobi.traffic.com, http://m.ebay.com...) without having to have data plan. Can I do the same with G1?

Thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
yes if you use wifi......

they will see how much data you use. you will have slight usage even without a dataplan
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jubeh:
i dont think android allows data transfer over gsm (although there are drawables for gsm data in framework-res). I guess you could try, you need to have a gsm data plan (they're legacy and I don't think they offer them anymore) though.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
True, and you can use apps like "droidwall" to block all outgoing data sent from apps to avoid the slight data usage.

Anybody knows which files I have to put in the Official HTC 1.6 Donut

to have the nice transitions that come with Hero?

Cyanogen Mod use it, but I like to put this kind of transitions in a normal rooted donut.

Any Help?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jubeh:
you need to copy task_close_enter, task_close_exit, task_open_enter, and task_open_exit xmls in framework-res/res/anim from a hero rom to the donut rom, if you open the framework-res with 7z, you can just drop the files where they're supposed to go to replace them and then push it to your phone (or add it to your update.zip), no need to resign (actually, signing with testkeys breaks it, so dont!)

I'm attaching the necessary files.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xenio2000:
Wow thanks for your suggestions,

I have extracted the framework-res.apk from the Enomther v1.9.2- Expansion-Pack that contains the hero style animation and pushed in the /system/framework

and works very well... zoom hero style...very nice.

Thanks.

Now I can try with the blur style
[G1 General] martin_secretary:
I have the Rogers HTC Dream which I bricked this morning.

It got to the state where holding camera + power did not bring up the fastboot menu, and holding home+power did not bring up the recovery menu. All I got was the dreaded Rogers logo.

1) Take out the battery and unplug the USB cable and wait 20 seconds

2) plug in the USB cable

3) The second you insert the battery your phone will automatically turn itself on. Therefore hold the camera button down while putting in the battery.

4) The phone should start up (again a black screen + Rogers logo) and you should see a red box in the top left corner saying "FAST USB"

5) The phone appears frozen, but now you can use ADP to send it a recovery.img.

fastboot boot recovery.img

For me I installed the recovery.img from "Haykuro's initial root kit" available in step 4 of this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4280573#post4280573

6) After the fastboot command is finished your phone should automatically reset, and enter the Cyanogen recovery menu.

7) Now install the custom ROM as before

EDIT: After following these steps, I can now start my phone using CAMERA + POWER to get into the fastboot menu just like before I bricked my phone.

EDIT #2: I am currently running my phone with the cyanogen 4.1.999 ROM, so everything worked out for me in the end. I should probably mention that I did not "brick" my phone by flashing a new SPL while still running an older radio.img, so Im not sure how far this method will get some of you.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
I'm afraid that your device was NOT BRICKED. You just had an incompatible or defective system image and didn't know how to use the bootloader.

THIS WILL NOT WORK on a device that is actually bricked.
[G1 General] martin_secretary:
Perhaps you are right and it was not "truly bricked", but it was in a state where home+power and camera+power did nothing.

Anyone on these forums that would describe this problem would automatically be told they have a new paperweight. Im sure many people just have the same problem as me.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
From a POWEROFF state, press and hole HOME (for recovery) or BACK (for fastboot), then press the power button while continuing to hold the HOME or BACK button. That is all there is to it. No magic.
[G1 General] B-man007:
have you personally tried this?
[G1 General] cloverdale:
No, that is not magic, but what is really impressive is that in the original post it is stated that

, and if the OP was actually able to find a way around this, it is the first time I have heard. Since registering, I have read numerous posts on XDA stating that if you cannot get to recovery by home+power and cannot get to fastboot via home+camera, then your phone is "probably bricked". I have yet to read one post with a solution to this situation (not to say they do not exist, just that they are not easy to find if they do exist). I think the OP found something that could be quite useful for many people that find themselves in this situation (such as after flashing the wrong radio for hero).

Now having said that, I must also say that your phone was not bricked. If it were bricked, you could not have made it this far. Thus, it either the case that this was a fluke, or the (quite wonderful, but usually with a low probability) case that you stumbled upon something new, and the concept of a "bricked G1" will need to be redefined.

We need more people in this situation to try this method, that will be the only way to really know what this is.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
As I said, from a POWER OFF STATE.

And no, you do NOT hold home+power, you hold HOME, then PRESS AND RELEASE power while continuing to hold HOME.

He didn't get by anything. He simply didn't push the buttons properly (i.e. pressed them *too late* or while the device was STILL POWERED ON.
[G1 General] martin_secretary:
Why are you so sure about yourself about what buttons I pressed? I booted into recovery mode and fastboot mode MANY times before I "bricked" my phone, so i know how to press the buttons....
[G1 General] alritewhadeva:
yo lbcoder i hold home+power at the same time for a LONG time and it still goes to recovery. Same with camera + power. As long as you hold home before you hold/press power you're good to go. We need more people to tryout this method.
[G1 General] B-man007:
I wonder why lbcoder is so sure of what hes saying....hes been wrong a lot of times in his previous postings...
[G1 General] supremeteam256:
I got a solution for this. How bout the OP or someone else actually brick there phone and try this method. If they get it back working then hey theres a solution but if not then you know it really wasn't a brick. So who wants a brick.
[G1 General] supremeteam256:
Plus I would like to know what was the initial problem to make the OP think he had a brick.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
If you're going to make such an absurd statement, you better damn well be prepared to back it up.

But since you can't, I hereby nullify your statement and reserve the right to do so for anything you ever state.

@martin:

How can I be sure? Because after you tried several times it eventually worked. You didn't do anything differently the last time except pull the battery, which will have no effect except that you can be certain that you are starting from a fully powered off state. That being the difference proves that one of the following things happened on every one of your previous attempts;

1) You pushed the button too late in the boot sequence (everybody's done this a few times, sometimes several times in a row),

2) The device was never actually powered off. Yes, it can have the appearance of being off without actually being off.

As for other's trying this with their bricks, certainly it might help a very few people out, but no, this is not a magical fix for an IPL CRASH. If the SPL is simply not compatible with the IPL, then no matter what you try, the IPL will never be able to start the SPL. And yes, you MUST start the SPL since that is where the bootloader is, and the home or back or no button signals the bootloader on which way to boot (multiboot). It can go into fastboot (payload within SPL), recovery (recovery partition), normal (boot partition), etc.
[G1 General] martin_secretary:
I've updated my post to state that I did not brick my phone by using an incompatible SPL. However I am saying my phone was in the state where I could not access fast boot or recovery mode.

Look through this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4280573#post4280573

and see how many people say they can't access fastboot or recovery anymore....this is the same guide I followed and screwed up my phone. There is more than one way to brick your phone, and I think I found a way to unbrick it in this special case.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Do you have any idea what proportion of "users" can't even press the "enter" button when told to?

And FYI: that thread talks about installing the deathspl (the one that usually makes your phone into a paperweight). Regardless of their statement that it is compatible, it is actually quite unknown/undocumented and therefore compatibility with it is NEVER certain.

The fact that you only THOUGHT you bricked your phone means that you are lucky. Lots of people have ACTUALLY bricked with that SPL.
[G1 General] B-man007:
I'm looking at windows right now...and it didnt bluescreen.....

Look at how many people use a rooted G1, then look at how many can't..... its a very low proportion. Just because you see some posts in which people complain about not being able to use their phone doesnt make it an accurate representation of "users"

The fact that you only THOUGHT you bricked your phone means that you are lucky. Lots of people have ACTUALLY bricked with that SPL.

ok, first off....hes using a rogers phones. The buttons are much easier to press than the g1. I highly doubt he would have messed up that many times. And if he couldn't access the SPL or Recovery, its effectively a brick for him. What does it matter how it happened if it did happen. a bad ipl/spl flash is not the only way to brick a phone (though its the most common and most documented) There are many factors to this "brick" that you may or may not know about

why the heck are you sitting here and arguing the definition of a brick. Hes trying to help people who have messed up their phone and giving them one more solution to try to fix their phone before spending money on replacing it. If it doesnt work, so be it. if it worked for even one person, its officially worthwhile for the post to be there.

there is no need to sit there criticizing someone whos trying to help by repeatedly posting the same thing over and over there. I think that your judging him because of his low post count. Martin has greater than adequate knowledge of the dream. but you wouldnt know that because anyone that doesn't have a post count > 100 "can't even press the 'enter' button when told to"
[G1 General] iyass:
i have G1 its stck on G1 screen ... i try to do as you did but wont work at all ???

i cant boot or flashe from sd card ...

any help ?
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Are you so absolutely dense that you don't know what a JOKE is?

I'm talking about users IN GENERAL. I.e. forget about phones, forget about root. Most users are (from the programmer's perspective) absolute MORONS who are barely able to breath on their own. Give a "rooted" phone to a NORMAL user (i.e. a teenage girl), do you expect them to be able to get anything extra out of it? How about trying to talk an average (that's *AVERAGE*, not a geek) teenage girl through the process of rooting her phone? You think that will go well? Definitely not.

That is absolutely not relevant in any way. If he is pressing the buttons WITH THE THING POWERED ON, then it won't work, regardless of how "easy" the buttons are to press.

You are therefore judging him to be of equal technical aptitude to yourself. What do you base this on? The first rule of anything technical is to assume that your end users are complete morons. If they aren't, then so much the better, but you can't make that assumption.

Fact: If the device is not physically damaged, contains a compatible and valid IPL and a compatible and valid SPL, then it *must* boot up to SPL *as long as the correct procedure is followed*.

The ONLY possible ways to make the device non-functional beyond the possibility of correcting using standard procedure is to have physical damage, corrupt or incompatible IPL, or corrupt or incompatible SPL. There are no other possibilities.

No, he is not providing any information that is not already available for anyone to try. He did nothing at all beyond standard procedure. In his first attempts, he clearly failed to follow standard procedure, in his final attempt, he successfully followed standard procedure and was able to access recovery. This thread is misleading as it offers a solution which, quite frankly, doesn't exist.

I post to correct. I post to inform against useless information.

Again, not to put him down, but HOW DO YOU KNOW?

Back to basics. You can absolutely NOT assume that everyone else knows what YOU know. You *MUST* assume that they know NOTHING.

Post count? Tell me where you got the impression that I even bothered to look at his post count. I don't care about post count. If the post makes sense and introduced NEW INFORMATION, then the author is making a worthy contribution. If they are just repeating the same crap that *everybody already knows*, then it is a worthless or potentially damaging contribution.

Duh, my phone don't work. I tried and tried and it didn't work. And then finally I followed the directions and it worked.
[G1 General] martin_secretary:
lbcoder: I am currently a software programmer working for the top 5 biggest tech companies in North America. I am also currently doing my masters in Computer Engineering. Every post of yours has hinted that you think I'm a moron, and you've been very insulting and unhelpful on this message board.

I've pointed out to you many times I did NOT brick my phone by flashing an incorrect SPL. Yes we get it, if an incorrect SPL has been flashed then there is probably no possible way to recover the phone.

However I'm saying that I bricked my phone some other way, and for some reason you wont get that into your head. Im beginning to wonder who the real "moron" is here.

This thread is meant to try and help people whose phones are in the same state mine was. You're just being an ass and hijacking this thread.

P.S. I bet B-man007 has his doubts about whether this method actually works. Yet hes taking a wait-and-see approach, not a calleveryoneamoroncuzIthinkimright approach.

that was just pure dumb

i didnt bother digging any deeper cause i couldnt stop laughing

It wasnt powered on and your a moron if you cant understand that

I am judging him to be at the same technical level because ive talked to the guy through pm's, something that is out of the scope of your abilities

I know how much research hes done and i know his technological knowledge of the dream is higher than most posters in this section.

dont teach me the rules of how to teach end users. im a software engineer with my own team working under me. i have a better understanding of what to expect from the end user than you ever will.

Fact: you can corrupt the spl and/or radio for more reasons than a bad spl/radio flash

how did he clearly fail to follow standard procedure? please explain how its so clear.

once again, i know because i exchanged pm's with him

Ok i assume you know nothing. nothing new.

Its not damaging in anyway because the only way to mess your phone up is with a bad spl/radio flash right? he doesnt mention any of that. if its so worthless, then itll get moved to the bottom

and why are you here posting that his phone is not bricked? Everyone already knows that and your repeating the same crap. killed your own argument there didnt ya

I hold Camera / Home + Power On until I get into the desired mode.

No one knows how to READ anymore. Seriously, with all the countless threads about how to root correctly, it seems like every other thread in the last month has been "oops I think I bricked my phone". Really???

If you cannot comprehend what you read and are just a button pushing drone, you really deserve a brick. It really ISN'T that damn hard to root. Every single stickied how-to is so freakin detailed, a chimp could do it. Every single step has a current link to what you NEED AT THAT POINT. If you can follow a 1.2.3 list, you should be able to do this.

I swear if I had the extra money I would buy a new G1 and give it to my 9 yr old daughter and tell her to follow these instructions and I am 99.999% sure I would have 2 completely rooted G1's when she was finished.

umm and when did you brick your phone, was it before june because the info has been all over since then

if not then you were a test dummy for the spl, all hayruko did was port the spl over so no one was aware of needing the newer radio but it is good sense to always keep your radio up to date after downgrading your whole entire os
