[G1 General] BohicaBobby:
Is there another version other than rc29 that I can put on my micro sd card and then put it on the phone? It's only since downgrading to rc29 that I have no ability to get past the Google login screen. My sim card, that I am using in the G1, has an unlimited data plan.

I know that unless the phone has root I cannot flash different rom versions on it, but is there a dreaming.nbh file that I can put on the sd card that may provide me with the ability to connect to the Google servers once I install it on the phone (holding in the camera and power button)?
[G1 General] david1171:
I would give you the link but i am on my phone at work. Search for jesusfreke's thread on how to activate a phone without a data plan. You can use that method to skip the activation screen.
[G1 General] PixelWarp:
Almost every time I've rooted a phone I've had issues connecting to Google servers. Keep trying. Its taken me 5 or more tries in the past.
[G1 General] BohicaBobby:
I tried over 10 times and even reinstalled rc29. Nothing seems to help.

I also installed the SDK and when I try to start ADB Shell the device isn't found. I think that's because I'm stuck at the signin screen but don't know for sure.

It signed onto the Google server and internet with no problem until I copied the rc29 dreaming.nbh file to the root of the sd card and started the phone via camera/power. It all updates correctly, just can't connect.

It's weird because I used to own a G1 and did the rc29 install and rooted the phone, partitioned the SD card, etc. I have no idea why I'm having such a problem connecting to the Google server.

Any other suggestions?
[G1 General] david1171:
If no devices pops for adb, then you need to make sure adb is installed correctly.
[G1 General] jmon777:
sorry for the quick information. and you can flash official roms you might want to try updating to 1.5 here is the link http://www.mediafire.com/?zmdyjz3y2zn idk but rc29 was giving me strange issue the last time i had it on my phone so try to avoid it as much as possible now.lol but of you get data on 1.5 download the one click root app and flash cm stable and put cm update on his phone so the next person who gets wont have to worry too much about this root stuff.

i am more than glad to give all the limited knowledge i have but i dont see any advantage of rooting a phone before you sell it just saying. thanks i hope this helps
[G1 General] BohicaBobby:
Okay, I was able to flash 1.5 but I'm still unable to sign-in to the google servers. When I look at the APN settings there is no proxy set, no port set, no mms proxy or port set. I've been searching the forums for T-Mobile U.S. apn settings but can't find them anywhere. Any idea where I can find these. I figure that may be my problem.

Thanks again!

T-Mobile Technical Support's Comments

I have a question about not being able to get connected to Google servers. I still have been trying and trying to signin to my Google account on the G1 that my buddy gave me to sell. I currently have an HTC T-Mobile Touch Pro2 and have been trying to use my sim card in the G1. I phoned technical support today and they guy said that I can't connect because (even though I have an unlimited internet account) my account is setup for the TP2 internet package and not the Google/Android pacakge.

Does it really make a difference? If so, this could be what's causing my problem.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Im Packing:
How do you extract a custom Rom so that I can tweak it around and take/add a few programs to fit my own needs? I've read the countless number of pages on how to cook a Rom, and my head is about to explode from all the information I'm trying to take in, but nothing explains how to extract and dissect a custom rom.

I understand this is probably something people may not wish to explain so that others don't modify custom ROMs and name it their own, but this is something I wish not to do. I simply wish to take some programs out I never use and add a few that I always use into the ROM so that when I do a hard-reset I don't have to go through the time consuming process of copying and loading cabs all the time.

I've used the search function, but nothing truly explains how to do what I want.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Typako:
Most chefs protect their ROMs, so you won't be able to extract them.

Here is an excellent guide about customizing an official ROM.

I figured so. Thank you for the link. I guess it's time for me to learn to cook my own ROMs now...hopefully they don't get burnt. :p
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] harveydent:
Some chefs upload their entire kitchens along with the finished ROM, so you can customize it to your taste.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] plbelanger:
I've had 2 Hero's; one from UK and my current one from Asia. I notice certain applications were present in the market on my UK model but not my current one. How is this determined? Is it by the firmware? If I were to install the UK or European firmware opposed to the Asian firmware currently installed would I get different apps?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefh:
I would say by your network and location. An IP address already tells the internet where you are located.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
i think it has to do with your apn provider settings :)

if im not mistaken, thats how marketenabler works...

here in the cold nort, Norway, my provider is NetCom, and i can only access free apps, but when i use marketenabler, and fake T-Mobile, i get all paid and such...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] felikz:
yes thats correct, this is the way it works..

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Mus:
I've enjoyed the XDAIIi but it's getting too long in the tooth now.

Can anyone suggest a modern replacement unlocked PDA available in the UK for use with an existing O2 SIM?

I like the 3.5" screen, the app multitasking and the stylus rather than a purely touch screen...

Doubling as a GPS navigator would be great too.

Something like the iPhone would be fun but it strikes me as too fiddly to do the amount of typing and word processing I like to do.

Thanks for any suggestions...

M
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Mus:
Anyone got the URL of a helpful XDA forum?
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] BBBenj:
Coucou !

What about a HTC Touch Pro2 ??? Also called Rhodium here and there?

Screen 3,6", aGPS included...

For me, one of the best nowadays!
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Mus:
OK thanks.

One additional factor is that I get a corporate discount on the iPhone, so £200 cheaper than the HTC...

I've ordered one but am still not sure I've made the right choice.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Zincubus:
Hey Mus , I am desparate to get an iPhone but simply can't afford one at the moment.

I have a Nokia N95 8Gb to either sell to someone/ some company or sort out a part ex deal.

I reckon I can sell my Nokia ( an amazing phone , incidently but not as nifty as an iPhone) for about £100 .

If you don't like your iPhone , please contact me :)

PS You couldn't order another one through your company ( FOR ME ) Nudge Nudge Wink Wink !
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Mus:
Well, there are contractual obligations that I would think twice about for friends and family and wouldn't even consider on behalf of a stranger...
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Mus:
I sent the iPhone back until I can properly check the alternatives

That does look good. Or I might be able to get a Touch HD 2.

The main thing I need to consider is how different is WinMo 6 from WM2003? Is being able to use a stylus and multitask worth forgoing the apps, surfing and multimedia whizzbang of the iPhone or has HTC caught up with that a little?

Unlike the iPhone it's hard to find a live device to play with in a shop.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] BBBenj:
Coucou!

I understand it's barely available in shop to "play" with...

But for all you're asking for, it's perfect. Not as smooth, sadly, as an iPhone, but much more improvable (correct word?), may be as efficient, and so pleasant to use with the Manilla interface.

Really, I won't change my Rhodium for an iPhone, even with money!
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Mus:
OK thanks.

How much of an improvement is WM 6 over 2003? Is it faster surfing, does it do flash streaming? Generally I switch graphics off on the XDA over GPRS.

M
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Mus:
OK, so it's much of a muchness with WM2003 then? No improvements?
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] BBBenj:
Coucou!

Of course, there are lots of improvements, graphic interface, usage, memory, applications, .......... and ......... and .........

You can read everywhere what are the improvements.......
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Mus:
Yeah, just wish I could find a live one to try out for myself.

I went to an O2 shop and they didn't have one and say they have been selling less and less WinMo phones. They said they have stopped offering the XDA range and don't expect to stock the Touch HD 2 until January if at all.

Don't know if all that is true but I really dislike Apple for making every manufacturer think that a stylus is old hat. For typing the Apple is not a business phone, it's a consumer toy.

The Touch Pro 2 does look good , though I am reluctant to pay full price for it.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Mus:
Tried out a live Hero yesterday - iPhone wannabe with less useful apps (for me)

Wonder what happened to that patent HTC took out on a capacitative stylus?

The 3g shop said they used to sell the Touch Pro 2 but nobody ever bought one so they stopped.

Also why aren't the prices of the Touch Pro 2 at rock bottom if there is no demand?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Drag-On:
Hi.

firstly, i'm using the latest ROM from Dutty (WM6.5 Leo R4 Ultimate WWE

Based Rom 2.31 ( CE OS Build 5.2.23016.5.3.0 ))

secondly, i've installed all the "standard" things i use (cleanRAM, total commander, coreplayer, etc...but nothing to do with themes)

thirdly, Max TF3D Theme Maker v4.0 didn't work for me (any ideas why? :( sigh) and therefore i am unsure how else to "fix" my problem theme-wise

Finally, the problem:

The picture behind all the icons when i press the start button (or softkey on the top left) is...well it's a great pic (of my gf...hehe) but it's been stretched...lol. so it doesn't look so great.

PLEASE help me change it.

(i got the pic there in the first place by doing "Menu" Softkey->"Home Wallpaper"->"Picture Wallpaper"->Storage Card, GF pic.

now when i do that, it changes the home wallpaper, but not the background in the Start Menu)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] prdic:
Go to Settings/All Settings/Today and mark there "Use this picture as the background" then select your one
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Drag-On:
no. doesn't work. what happens is, the top bar (where start, battery indicator, etc are in) shows the top piece of the new picture i selected, but the old, stretched image remains. i'll try and get a screenshot up asap (never done it before, so good time to learn.

thanks for the first suggestion though! :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Drag-On:
Well, here is the screenshot of the problem. it's not just in that menu, but in any menu with wm6.5 style icons. (ill put the photo on flickr as well, incase the uploading dont work)

my lady looks fat on the pic...so u can imagine how unimpressed she is right now...lol

flickr link http://www.flickr.com/photos/43433590@N04/3999225508/
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Drag-On:
ok, last post here. sorry. i figured it out. it was a matter of simply soft reseting after changing the pic... sigh!!!

thank you prdic for your suggestion though.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Drag-On:
BUT, maybe some1 can help me:

THIS seems to be very similar to what im experincing. My lock wallpaper, and the background of my start and "all settings" menu have the SAME picture. (although i only selected a picture for the lock screen)

this wouldnt be so bad, but the picture gets stretched in the settings menu although it looks fine on the lock screen (just see print screens)

any ideas? (ps. sorry i left real people pictures on! i forgot to change the picture to something more generic. but now u know im a good guy, no skew teeth, wash behind my ears, etc :) )

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ESKIMOn00b:
so i had ADB (sdk 1.5 r3) set up on this laptop (in xp) it was working fine on my htc dream 32b, went to update the sdk to 1.6r1 and now neither my dream that worked before or the magic will be recognized as adb devices.

tried following the instructions in the adb thread utilizing usb deview, now i have 3 "drivers" listed per phone, usb composite, usb mass storage and adb, but mass storage and adb always show not connected (even when mass storage is enabled) on both phones, windows asks me if i want to "eject" the adb interface or the mass storage controller...

any insight would be appreciated, on a side note i have never gotten the mt3g (magic) to interface with adb but the dream has been used MANY times before and still functions on my personal laptop but this is the one at work
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Make sure you uninstall the drivers from device manager, not just remove them.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ESKIMOn00b:
the drivers install immeadeatly again after hitting uninstall in device manager when re plugging in the magic, doing that worked with the dream when i installed it the first time
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] asian_boi:
I restarted my phone this morning because it was going really slow. so after I restarted my phone like I always do, it stayed at the ericsson splash screen and won't go past that. So then as many ideas come to mind, I tried reinstalling my rom (CHT WM 6.5, which i'm willing to share the link and all that for those who wants it), after it finished installing, it just stayed at the gray screen and did nothing. so after that, I tried HARDspl it once more to see if that was the issue. Tried it, but nothing happened. so once again I turned off my phone and then tried to turn it on. here's the funny part. I can't even turn my phone on anymore and I don't know why. I tried pluging it in to the charger, the lights didn't even go on....

I think I bricked my x1.

PLEASE HELP !!!! I DON"T KNOW HOW TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.

I've only had this phone for a month, and there's already been so many problems with it. It's a big request, but I really would ask if someone can teach me how to reverse and fix my problem.

:(:(:(:(:(:(
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jackleung:
I would suggest you to charge your battery for a night, then reflash with a stock rom using Micro SD method to start everything again
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] OmarAta:
try a hard reset ..
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] asian_boi:
Guys

I've tried both methods, and my phone still has no reaction.

right now I have my phone right beside me. the red light is still on even though my battery is in.

What other things could I do?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Intratech:
As stated, recharge the phone overnight and see if it doesn't turn on in the morning.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] asian_boi:
I've tried that but then it still doesn't work. I used the orginial charger + usb to charge last night ( directly plugged in to the wall socket, not through a power bar or anything like that ). when I woke up this morning, I tried turning on the phone and it still doesn't turn on. but then when I plug it into my computer, the red light turns on at the power button. the computer still can't recognize my phone as a valid device.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] asian_boi:
does that mean I have to give up to send my phone back to sony to be fixed??
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] asian_boi:
should I just give up and send it back to sony to get it fixed?

I even called into to sony to ask for help...when I asked about the software, they just said send it back in to let their "professional" technicans to look at it.

I broke the screen on my old w810i and it costed me 80 dollars to fix...I only wonder how much it'd cost them to replace my battery and reset the software...

This is a very sad day for another very big sony ericsson fan....
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Sfkn2:
Your phone probably ran out of battery, or at least that's what the red light means.

This is what I did before - remove the battery, then plug the phone in directly into the wall charger, and then slap the battery back in and wait for about 10 minutes. Usually the USB (computer) doesn't charge enough for it the wake.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] asian_boi:
i've tried doing that too.

generally I charge my phone through the wall charger.

and the whole time i've been trying to solve this issue i've kept only using the wall plugins to charge my phone.

i'm guessing as well as you are that my phone's probably out of battery + maybe the battery is unbalanced as well.

i think the main issue above the power not working is some how one of the .nbh that i have tried is corrupted. as far as my wm + computer knowledge goes, I don't have much of a clue how to back track to fix the software issues.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] sasha.698:
hi all..

first of all, it's -for sure- runing out of battery.. it has to be charged anyway..

I had your issue before with my old universal -JasJar-,, it had a red light all the time.. trying to turn on.. even after a time in charger,, still dosent make a sence !! :mad:

after all my searchs I tryid another battery from a shop- just for testing the devieces in there.. and..guess what ..:rolleyes:

it just worked out !! :D

just try another battery..:)

it might-i'm not sure- that both our issues were related to the- the internal backup device battery- by someway making all of this when the main battery is out of order !! ..

waiting for your sucessfull results then ;)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] asian_boi:
that's great to hear. I'll definitely update everyone on that battery issue as soon as I can get into a store to get a battery test.

SO, here's another thing, IF by any chance my phone turns on, what in the world could I do to get my phone to not "malfunctioned" anymore? would I just do a full reset on it and everything should be alright again? by full reset i mean pressing the soft reset button and the two silver buttons in front of the phone.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Sfkn2:
If it does turn on again, let it fully charge before you try to flash another ROM onto it. I'd probably flash the R3 ROM before I'd switch it to anything else, just to be sure that the phone is fully operational.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] asian_boi:
thanks for the advice. i'll definitely keep that in mind when I am about to do anything with the phone again.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] asian_boi:
hey everyone! I just got to a rogers store today about my x1.

so here's what will happen.

they'll send me a brand new x1 in about 3 to 5 business days. in return, i'll have to send the phone that I have had back to them so that they can see if it can be fixed or not (which i have strong confidence that they can't).

if it can be fixed, they'll tell me how much it cost.

if i pay for that cost, then i can keep my new phone. if I don't want to pay that cost, then i'll have to send that brand new x1 back to them.

I'm praying hard that they won't be able to fix that phone so I can keep the new one for free!!!!!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] asian_boi:
finally the x1 arrived!!!!!

so now hopefully it will stay working and then rogers won't charge me for the new replacement that they sent me!!!

hello xda community,

i've been searching for a theme like this for ages but never found something like that... (gChrome was a good attempt though)

ohh and... i've got no idea about themeing and that kind of stuff (AND i don't know how to re-sign an update file :P

basically it should be like:

- black / brown app tray background

- blue highlights on menus (like on enochX)

- instead of the default white background on menus, make it white with stripes (keep transparency, however)

- if possible, invert black / white on listviews like settings, i doubt if this is possible however...

- new font maybe?

- default lockscreen

- OS X icons...

- maybe slight status bar mod... see OS X bar for example ;)

- other gfx?

- the drag down status window: with white stripes, transparent... see the style of the OS X windows

that's what it should look like ;)
