[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevo:
Can somebody point me in the direction for where to find out what the differences between Cyanogen's take on Donut and the official 1.6?

I'm looking more at what's new in the ADP version that Cyanogen didn't put in his early version of it, than what Cyanogen did to his version on top of 1.6.

Cheers.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
ADP 1.6 is stock version. No optimizations / enhancements. Official one from HTC
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevo:
Yes I know that, I meant have there been any changes/things added to official 1.6 since Cyanogen made his early Donut rom.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
Probably because ADP 1.6 is just that ADP 1.6 whereas cyanogen's donut is the code in the android repository aka AOSP
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fingerlickin:
If you are asking because you are thinking about flashing the ADP 1.6 I suggest flashing one from the development forum that has been rooted because the one from HTC is stock and you will loose root access.

If you're just curious then download them and look around in the zip files, I find it kinda fun to unzip things :rolleyes:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
The one from HTC is for ADP1, which means that IT HAS ROOT JUST FINE. You do NOT lose root by installing an unaltered ADP1 image.

Root just works a little differently between the ADP1 image and the custom images... i.e. the "su" command works in conjunction with the root app rather than the su command being limited to root and shell users (for security reasons -- so that apps don't take over your phone).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fingerlickin:
Nice, now you can stick around here and help people. Remember there are a ton of people reading this that blindly follow guides. For me it's easier to tell them that they loose root, the people smart enough know what I'm talking about will understand and the ones who aren't shouldn't be flashing ADP1.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cal3thousand:
And just to be clear for future readers:

You are using the term "lose" loosely :), because as long as you have the modified recovery installed, you can just install a rooted ROM and regain it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Reverend Gridlock:
Maybe I mistook this but it seems like the adp1.6 overwrites the custom recovery with a stock one
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
yes, from what i heard it cut security back on
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
*cough cough* all the recent "no verification" threads would seem to beg to differ.
[S740, S743 General] sasiskas:
can anybody post a European radio rom?thank you!
[S740, S743 General] sasiskas:
damn...am i asking something so hard?
[S740, S743 General] bill48105:
If you're still looking for S740 Rose radios I've extracted both the Asia one (0.24.30.24) and the Orange UK one (0.29.30.22) from the official ROMs so you can flash just the radio leaving your existing ROM/Splash. So far I've not noticed a difference in my testing but maybe they'll make a difference in different areas so I'll post them up if someone wants to give them a try.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] realjumy:
Hello.

I cooked a rom with some changes and my question is... How can I try it? I know there's a metod to emulate roms, but I want to check if the update.zip is signed correctly, so what I want is to emulate recovery or fastboot, but I can't.

Somebody knows how to do it?

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Zarboz:
should be moved to Q&A

but i have the same questions i went through everything emulator related on the android site and through the command line help functions and i got as for as creating a sysdir image and i got stuck where you do the kernel image .....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] realjumy:
I only found this:

http://android.modaco.com/content/g...p-and-running-a-full-rom-with-the-market-etc/

But I can't enter in bootloader or fastboot with [Home Key], [Back Key], o [Menu Key] While it's loading.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Zarboz:
what SDK are you using (HUGE DEAL)

if your using the latest SDK have you precompiled your AVD profile (android virtual device) see http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/avd.html#creating

if you have compiled your AVD and pointed your emulator at the correct AVD profile

http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/emulator.html

if your booting an actual update.zip youll have to flash do a NAND dump of the phone and copy your NAND files to your pc and boot those through your emulator to ensure it runs correctly

(i only say this because i dont know if its possible to enter recovery mode straight from the emulator)

you place your system.img and your AVD stuff in the same folder

::::EDIT:::::

if you did have success making an AVD or know where i can find some premade profiles for the HTC Magic/Dream lmk

:::EDIT2::::

i just gotta finish downloading my JDK and i can get it to boot

does anyone know how to compile a system.img from just my /system folder or in essence can the /system folder just be booted without having to compile it into system.img format?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
I may be dead wrong, but you can extract a .img file to the system folder contents by unyaffs-ing it, so I assume you could do the reverse...maybe.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Zarboz:
im not super linux familiar... im learning as i go and reading everything i can about it

thanks for the info :thumbsup:

so you mean

su

mkyaffs /system

or

su

mkyaffs /block/devblock/mmc0blk (i think thats system idk for sure right now tho)

just checked the unyaffs google code page... says it only supports unyaffs right now not making system.img's.....

but theres links for a mkyaffs so maybe thatll do it

---checking google site sdk site for info on compiling system.imgs maybe theres a tool included---

NOPE NOTHING!

umm

i have an idea for you man

boot into your environment and then adb shell in and just try it because the whole image that you booted to should be read write

once you boot into your emulator load a sd card file with the mksdcard commands

http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/othertools.html#mksdcard

then your gunna get your adb and

adb push cyanogen1.4recovery.img /sdcard

adb shell

$ su

# flash_image recovery /sdcard/cyanogen1.4recovery.img

#reboot recovery

and see if itll do it that way if it boots into recovery with the custom recovery.img sweet action your good to go grab your ADB window and

adb push (your custom rom).zip /sdcard

adb shell

#reboot recovery

then select choose update.zip to flash and choose your custom rom and in theory it should flash it to your Readwrite system.img........

someone anyone correct me if im wrong cuz im gunna have to try this when i get home

THIS IS ALL IN THEORY I HAVE NOT TESTED NOR DO I KNOW IF THIS WILL WORK JUST AN IDEA FOR YA
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] realjumy:
I tried before, but emulator freezes when I try to reboot it. I think can install Cyanogenmod and the CMUpdater and use my own update.zip to do the update, but I think it will not work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Zarboz:
it doesnt work you have to nandroid the update.zip

i was up till like 4 am last night trying to compile a tattoo build and i kept getting stuck on flash at my update script where it CHMOD CHOWN system:xbin

toooo tired to care to mess with it anymore...

tried everything to get the emulator to boot my custom rom but no go

tried doing it like

emulator -sysdir c:\c\herosysimage\ -avd hero

and like

emulator -system C:\c\herosysimage\system.img -avd hero

no boot

also tried putting system.img in the avd folder
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] _Belial:
Hi all,

One of the things I really liked about the hero roms was the HTC People widget. I was wondering if anyone knew of one that worked on 1.5 machines at all? I've tried the Contact Widget from the marketplace but can't get it to display my contacts at all?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] squidbutt:
i would also like this widget along with the hero messages widget

help us out guys!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] JackTheMan18:
People Widgets

I suggest using the AnyCut App to make a widget on your home page with a dialer direct to the contact (like speed dialing, only better).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bertrandno7:
hello everybody,

my previous thread got shut down cause i wasnt specific enough...

anyway i am just wondering if there is any stock-like windows mobile 6.5 roms running the latest build 23053 around. meaning there are no additional added apps by the chief and everything is originally from microsoft.

there is the miri 23053 rom but there are third party apps added to it, hence it is not that clean

greatly appreciate it if somebody can provide me with this rom!

Bertrand
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Ultimaex:
No there isnt. Use the SYS from Development and Hacking Subforum and cook your own rom. Thats it!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bertrandno7:
help!

oh man that is a very complicated series of steps for a rookie like me :( hmm is there anyone around here able to help? or simply provide me with some basic instructions?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hmmhmm1222:
yes there is!! :D kwbr has a thread that will explain all things steps and links to all you need to know .... it involves some reading, a lot of failure, some hair pulling, some urges to just bring fourth a hammer and show that phone what you really feel about it, but if you stick with it , one day you will enjoy the satisfaction of having your own cooked rom on your device ....

so here you go.... http://tinyurl.com/yaqgjrt
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bertrandno7:
thanks

alright thank you! I shall try to follow the steps provided! but meanwhile anyone able to help and provide a stock-like windows mobile 6.5 rom based on 23053 will be much appreciated!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Good luck with your rom.

Miri has already created a rom based on build 23053 and is currently working on others using same build. He is veru accomodating, so I'm sure if you PM'ed him he may include a lite version in his next release. Other chef's may also provide this if you ask them nicely

Just a thought ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bertrandno7:
alright thank you for all the help people!

meanwhile i hope someone can produce a rom like this soon!
[Palm Treo Pro] felipemadox:
Someone knows any TV Remote controler compatible with the Treo Pro processor?

Thanks!
[Palm Treo Pro] WOPR47:
I have experience with Novii Remote on my old 700wx. It was a neat program - I loved the customization on it, but the range on the phone's infrared was horrible. I had to be within a meter of the television for it to operate, and it had to be DIRECT line of sight. Not worth the time.

I am curious though, I wonder if my Pro has a more powerful emitter....

more about Novii here: http://www.novii.tv/
[Palm Treo Pro] felipemadox:
Novii Remote is a rly great app, but doesnt works on palm pro :(

They says "Screen resolution unsuported" (something like that)
[Palm Treo Pro] birocchi:
I never found a software that worked with TREO PRO. I tested a bunch of them but none worked for me. I also appreciate if someone could help on this.
[Palm Treo Pro] resinis:
all my tv's are run by computers... 'htpc's'... so in the past when i wanted to do this i used a bluetooth remote control plugin. worked well actually...but of course it wont help you with normal tv's.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] richard.ian.brown:
Ok, first of all I'm very pleased with and happy with the two LEO ROM variants I've used over the last few months (Thanks Itje and NRGZ28), but I noticed a strange thing happening.

After install, hard reset and adding cabs the ROM's run great, but over time their performance (in my opinion) begins to degrade, to a point where I hard reset, and all is well again for a while.

There's no critical error nothing that crashes the phone just a overall slowdown and creeping laggyness.

To me it smack's of something being cached, some finite resource (not RAM) that's not getting cleared?

Has anyone else noticed this, are there any documented suggested fixes for this? Or even a pointer on what / where to search as to date I've found no reason for this?

Richard
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Muo:
I completely agree with you, seems like if I actually use a ROM for a week or more it seems to get slower.

The joys of using Windows-based machines ^^

Even my desktop after a much longer period of time degrades until I reformat
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fr@:
Actually, I noticed this slowing down issue

only

with Leo ROMs. After 1-2 weeks, it begin to slow down and it actually use always more RAM than previous week...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] vinokirk:
7 days....great TV show
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] scote:
I noticed this phenomenon too. At first I thought is was due to a cab that I installed, but I dont think its that as now I install a small set of apps right after the initial install.

this is also why people say "wow this rom is as fast as hell much better than the last one" - its not, it simply feels fast because the old one has slowed down.

The big question is why does a soft reset not fix it? that suggests its not a caching thing or a memory leak?
[Touch HD General] MIA:
Sorry if this has been posted before, couldnt find any threads on the subject, I have a unlocked Touch HD but when i insert a o2 sim card it keeps showing as no service. when sim card is inserted it does recognise that its a o2 sim card and configures the setting

anyone out there had same issue?
[Touch HD General] Sean3:
Stock or cooked rom? Has it worked before or is this new behavior?
[Touch HD General] MIA:
Cooked rom, o2 sim didnt work before i installed cooked rom
[Touch HD General] Sean3:
Do you know anyone else with a sim card that you can drop in there to see if theirs' get service? How old is your sim card? May take it by your provider and have them stick a card in to see if they can get it to fire up.

Also, go to your phone settings and see if your connection is set to a specific frequeuncy or if it's set to auto. If it's set to a specific frequency eg. GSM 1900/2100 or something like that, change it to auto and see what happens.

Did you purchase the phone unlocked or did you do it yourself? May be matter of flashing the correct radio.
[Touch HD General] MIA:
Ive tried what you have suggested but still same issue, ive upgraded htc hd to the latest radio but same issue.
[Touch HD General] PoisonWolf:
MIA,

Have you tried the latest stock ROM (do a hard reset after reverting to a stock ROM)?

Have you tried different SIM cards from different networks?

How did you acquire this phone again?

Cheers.
[Touch HD General] MIA:
I swapped my htc tytn 2 for this phone, ive tried orange, t-mobile, vodafone sim cards and they are all working fine, when i got the phone it had the latest official rom from htc and even then it was still showing as no service, ive upgraded rom to duttys 6.5 and upgraded to latest radio.
[Touch HD General] Sean3:
So you have tried other sims with this phone and you get service? If that is the case, I'm inclined to believe it's your sim. I've seen posts from others where their sim worked perfectly in their TYTN, but once in the HD, it didn't. Something to investigate.
[Touch HD General] MIA:
Ive tried my friends o2 sim cards and same problem no service message, im starting to regret getting the htc touch hd as i really wanted it in the o2 network.
[Touch HD General] PoisonWolf:
MIA,

Have you tried it in GSM mode? It's really impossible that you can't get even the most basic of things running (excluding things like 3G or HSPDA).

Don't give up, just keep tinkering around in the phone settings.

Cheers.
[Touch HD General] MIA:
Ive tried everything that has been suggested. this phone is driving me :mad:
[Touch HD General] PoisonWolf:
MIA,

I'm really sorry, but I have no idea why it isn't working. The only thing I can tell you is to go into an O2 store and keep asking to try different SIMs and explain your issue. I simply cannot imagine why a sim would not work on one GSM network but it does for others.

That just baffles me.

Cheers.
[Touch HD General] MIA:
ive tried brand new o2 sim card in the phone and same issue again, it recognises the sim card and configures settings but still same problem with no service on the reception bar its just got a ! mark next to it.
[G1 General] Christopher3712:
Hey guys, just an FYI-

Giveawayoftheday.com is featuring the above listed download for 17 more hours. This is NOT warez, as multiple companies allow free downloads for a 24 hour period. My advice is to download and activate this software FAST, as there are only about 17 more hours (as of this posting) to activate it. I've found PPM 9.0 to be very easy to use while partitioning, repartitioning, and formatting my card.

It's quicker than typing it all in console :)

Go HERE

There's also a link for 64bit system users on that page. Happy downloading.
[G1 General] BrutalHoe:
Cool but have u heard of torrents just fyi lol
[G1 General] Christopher3712:

[G1 General] cmsweet21:
(JUST A THOUGHT)

if im not mistaken auto partition like this (PARAGON) sometimes makes some issues when flashing, they said manual partitioning still better,

peace.
[G1 General] str4vag:
good find.

Thanks :)
[G1 General] Chahk:
I second that. PM 10 is awesome for PCs, but I wouldn't use it to partition my G1. There are partitioning tools built right into the latest Cyanogen's recovery image, and scripts around it to make it easier to use.
[G1 General] dipeshb:
Helpfull for noobs.. Nice find.. WIll this work for the G1? The trial ones would only partition your local drives C:\
[G1 General] terminal 7:
cheers

partition manager provides an easy way for the windows user to create the correct paritions in the correct order on any sd card so is valuable in this instance.

also aside from that its brilliant if you want to move a complete operating system to a new drive, it does this with vista and the machine wont even ask for reactivation.

anyways thats way off topic...

its definately worth using instead of Gparted if you havnt got a linux based setup.

PEACE. THANX.

.
[G1 General] .PaNiNi.:
yeah I am on my second SD card and the first 1 everytime i tried to patition the ext3 i got an i/o error and now when trying to do the linux swap i get an i/o error

i was using paragon
[G1 General] cmsweet21:
well said :D
[G1 General] Christopher3712:
It's funny how things work differently for everyone. I'm running Vista x86 and never had issues partitioning my SD card on my g1. Anyhow, some may find it useful.
[G1 General] alritewhadeva:
Just downloaded and saved :cool: I'd rather use cyanogen's recovery image though
[G1 General] sstang2006:
Thank you Sr. I do find it useful .. I have always used Paragon to partition my G1 with no problems at all..

[G1 General] rgl12miami:

[G1 General] jubeh:

[G1 General] jerhoyet:
Thanks for the software, but I honestly don't like it. I prefer just booting into linux to use GParted or popping in a GParted Live USB stick :p
[G1 General] Christopher3712:
Trust me, I do the same. I keep it bookmarked in my cell and on my PC
[G1 General] djdeviance:
Just to let you guys know what has happened to me in the past with paragon. I was able to use it and was very simple but 2 times out of the 3 or 4 months I used it something went wrong with the partitioning which caused my pc to crash. Thus leaving me to reinstall the OS all over again. Good thing I kept everything backed up though.
[G1 General] bubonik:
Thanks for the find, unfortunately im downloading at 15kb/s. I feel like im using aol from 95 :P

Holy ****. Went from 15kb/s to 1.0mb/s. Now thats cool.
[G1 General] futango:
There are 2 flaws I see in this giveaway. The software is for 64-Bit OS and its only the "Personal" edition, so you don't get all the software features.

Now what I found out from reading the slickdeals forum. Back in August, they were giving away the PROFESSIONAL version of Partition Manager 9.5(x64). You register here http://www.paragon-software.com/registration/pm95pro , to get your key and serial, FREE. Yes this was for 64-bit OS also, BUT.........I have peronally tested the serial and key on 32-bit version of 9.5 and it installed and runs great. So you guys can either get the PM 10 personal version or get the PM 9.5 PRO version.

32-bit PM 9.5 PRO

http://www.turboupload.com/q3t8kojsi91k/Pargon_9.5pro.msi.html

64-bit PM 9.5 PRO

http://depositfiles.com/files/64xsts7o7

You will have yourself a legal version of Paragon Partition Manger 9.5 Professional.
[G1 General] All~G1:
I've used paragon twice. First time I had /data moved to the SD card and it killed the card. The second, and last time, was about 2 months ago when I partitioned my current card. Haven't had any problems since.

are you sure you weren't partitioning your PC's hard drive? I saw a few ppl do that one.

Regardless its great to have options. Probably try Dusty's way next time.
[G1 General] Christopher3712:
The link I posted was for 32bit, but there's a link on the page for 64bit. Take a closer look :) I do have PPM 9.0 Server, but I can't post the link here, against the rules.
[G1 General] futango:
Sorry, Didn't check it close enough.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helfrez:
Considering the state of flux we are in with the roms, I think it would be really kewl for one of the guys to cook up a quick rom building guide. The main objective would be to allow user to replicate the rom build of their own accord. Many projects have taken the "you build it" approach to avoid the pitfalls of distributing closed source.

Look at something like Microsoft Core Fonts in linux. No distribution will ship with the fonts, but they all provide a package, even gnu pure Debian, that will pull the exe files from the web and unpack/install them for you. Same thing goes for flashplayers.

If someone would make a script/guide for making saayyy Cyanogen 4.0.4, by pulling the source from google, adding a modpack, and compiling on their own machine, then Cynan and the other would be clear from any wrong doing. Leave it to the community to distribute and get the roms out. Bittorrent/newsgroups/whatever, they can't stop us all, and they dare not pull a RIAA to hunt people down.

I think its something that maybe worth considering. The stuffer methods are great, but I would personally like to be able to build the rom as it should be, with all the fixings.
