[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luckyjon:
Hi guys,

Here's my problem:

I have a rooted G1 with Cyanogens 4.0.4 ROM and the 1.3 Recovery image.

On Friday my SD Card decided to damage itself on me. I had an ext:2 partition where I kept all of my cache and apps. Now that it has gone and destroyed itself somehow (I really have no idea how, as I was just using my phone as normal) I have lost all of my apps.

Also, I lost all access to the market. I get the 'A Server Error Has Occured' message and no matter how often I try it it has not started working since Friday.

I tried to re-format the SD card using Windows, but it failed each time. So, I decided to cut my loses and buy a new card.

Now I have an UNPARTIONED 4GB card in my G1, and the card itself seems to be working without incident. However, I still cannot access the market.

I have tried doing a factory reset - this didn't work. I have tried taking out the SIM card and putting in another one and swapping it back - this didn't work either.

I am wondering whether there was information on the old card that the market can't find, therefore is crashing on me?

I'm really looking for any help I can get here. I'm pulling my balding hair out.

Thanks.

Greedydog
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Flip_5:
try switching the red and yellow plugs. I had to do this with one of my cables. My other cable that I use in my car, works as labeled. You can try each plug (R,W,Y) one at a time into the yellow input on your tv. One of them will show video, the other 2 are audio.

This started yesterday, no idea why...

But for some reason my apps sortof reseted there backwardscompabilty info to use other prorams.. like if i use "ixMATScanner" which requires barcode scanner it asks me if i want to use barcode scanner or other barcode scanner app(which also needs barcode scanner to function) instead of just loading up barcode scanner automaticly like it did before... Why is this? :confused:

Same thing with other apps that need support from other apps, but instead of barcode scanner i get a list of other apps to use..

Pretty weird... I can "save as default" ofc, then i dont need to chose in the future, but i just think its weard that this happend for no reason(as far as i know) :S

Is it possible to take an image/snapshot of the factory ROM that is currently running on my S511 and use it to restore over the new 6.5 ROM if I had any issues or wanted to return it to Sprint?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] gbruyn:
I have always used Opera for normal websites and always set IE to use the mobile version of websites. Whatever I do, I cannot get Internet Explorer to open all mobile versions of websites like tivo.com or hhonors.com or delta.com or any others. I manually have to enter the mobile version URL myself. I've changed the settings to MOBILE COMPUTER and even messed with the user agent registry entries. I can't get anything to work. Any ideas?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] PRBajista:
I don't know why but when I changed my IE settings to mobile device, and I typed in the address bar "mlb.com", it went to the mobile version, where as before with the desktop computer setting, if I would type "mlb.com" it would display the desktop version of the site. Maybe its something specific to your device (i.e. any software installed, ect.) but when I changed the setting it did go to the mobile version. I also checked the sites you listed and experience the same problem. The other thing it may be is that those site may not have their site set up to detect a mobile device as mlb.com & other sites have. Just because they have a mobile site, doesn't necessarily mean they set up their site to detect your device setting & redirect you to the mobile version of their site. Were you able to see these sites detected as mobile site on a different device other than the TP2?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] jsquared:
Try an older verson of P.I.E.

I could not use GoToMyPC because the Touch Pro 2 P.I.E was not treated as a mobile browser.

The only solution I found was using an older version of P.I.E. Some Touch Pro 2 features will not work (zoom bar, double tapping screen) but not a big deal.

Hope this helps.

Hey everyone!

Since a few days my left hardware button (the one for ok/close) stopped working. I can push it as hard and often as I want, it just doesnt work anymore. I tried WD40 spray etc but still no success.

Now I thought that I could just remap my camera button to do the work of the broken button. So I need to change the Short_Camera.lnk to a ok/close executable.

Is there an executable like that around? I do believe I saw sth like that before, but cant remember where. I searched the forum for quite a while now and didnt find anything.

Do you have an idea how to solve this problem? I just need to have a working ok/close button again. :) Doesnt matter if its the camera button or sth else.

The only problem is, that I cannot install apllications on the phone anymore because Im stuck at the PIN screen. I can't confirm my pin anymore because the ok-button isnt working. :) So I would need a registry/filesystem solution....

Thanks for your help!
[HTC Tornado] gonet9:
Maybe install some remote acces utility (eg. Virtual CE). Then, unpack it, rename files, copy it to windows/autorun (or sth), then try to connect from PC and install AE Button Plus to remap the keyboard.

I was just about to download 4.1.11 and the site after clicking went to 404 Page Not found. I was also downloading with DownloadManager their themes and these also stopped mid stream.

Anyone else seeing this or is my ISP blocking? and/or anyone have any news on if they took from what I read about a ceast and desist letter from Google seriously and took the site down to clean up their MODS?

Really sucks as I was just reading how nice this was with build in Apops2SD without doing anything and their application base etc....as it is I can't get Apps2SD running as my JF install of 1.5 v43 doesn't have a /System/Intmem directory which is needed so I was hoping this would save me the headache of having to figure this out....

Anyway please provide some feedback on if the site is off or just down for Maintenance...

I know my Internet works as I am posting this thread.
[Touch Pro CDMA] josefcrist:
could someone please help me on this. i know it can be done i just dont know how.

thanks in advance.
[Touch Pro CDMA] notoriouspyro:
Technically speaking, you should be able to go into any sprint store and purchase a boost starter kit. This only includes the SIM card. This is kinda a hit or miss situation because we are not allowed to open or manipulate any boost accounts at the store. Once you activate the SIM card, you should be able to connect it into any GSM/IDEN phone and use it as a boost phone. I know we've had several of our NEXTEL phones used on boost. Just understand that it obviously would not have the direct connect radio.
[Touch Pro CDMA] josefcrist:
i dont think that i can use a iden sim in a gsm phone. nextel phones are iden. anybody else have any info on activating an alltel phone on boost?
[Touch Pro CDMA] Mr3vil:
To the best of my knowledge CDMA handsets can't be unlocked from a carrier the way an iDen or GSM handset can. In fact the carrier can tell weather or not an ESN is from their handset. I know Sprint cannot activate my dad's Alltel RAZR V3m despite the fact that Sprint offered the exact same handset.

The only way you're going to get a Touch Pro on an unlimited plan is to sell your Alltel Touch Pro and buy a Sprint one. Sprint will not activate a boost phone on sprint and vice versa.
[Touch Pro CDMA] josefcrist:
now i am trying to get this same phone activated on cricket. had anybody done this before?
[Touch Pro CDMA] wnyhiphop:
go to howardforums.com then look up boost CDMA. u will find tons of info on how to put sprint phones on boost mobile. im typing on a sprint touch pro right now which is on a boost account!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ExO_PoLiTiX:
Hi,

I use a Mac and Im trying to sync my iCal calendars with Google Calendars so I can check and change them on the move. I have looked online and managed to find a way to link the two so that when I use google calendars it gets updated to my iCal but I cant sync my iCal calendars so they are part of my google calendar(if this makes sense).

What I really need is a way to do this so I dont have to go and create my full calendars all over again for google. If anyone knows a way to do this I'd be very grateful.

On another note does anyone know how to move all my phone contacts to be google contacts on the device? For the life of me I cant find how.

Cheers, Exo
[Hero, G2 Touch General] xTuX:
I know there was this issue with other apps on linux, like KOrganizer... It seems that google only allows sync download but no upload... only way to upload to your calendar is login into google and upload the ical or vcal file that you exported from your desktop application
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pasael:
Try Spanning Sync it is a paid application but it works for calendars and contacts
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] XERO_Racer:
hi guys, well i just woke up not to long ago hearing my TP restarts by its self, when it did, the task bars were like grey instead of the EnergyROM theme, my Lumos icon looked bizerk and the screen was at full brightness, the connection wizard was launched for some odd reason, scrolled to my Pictures tab and i found like 4 pictures that looked blank O_O, i decided to shut off my phone and guess what? it wouldnt by pass the boot screen, i had to hard reset it manually....what could cause this problem? did anyone else had this problem?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Shapes:
yea, i got the same problem earlier, but only the restart part. everything else is fine.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoob8000:
So excuse the newbish question. My G1 is my first non-nokia phone.

Note I'm not looking for an unlock, I've already paid someone. Now I want to learn for my own satisfaction.

In the past I've always unlocked my nokia's with a DCT calculator to generate a code.

I'm surprised I have not found something similar for the Dream. I've also noticed a lot of ebay ads mention using the "t-mobile database" or comments of that nature.

So what is the process used on our phones, is there some magic program these folks have their hands on or do they simply have connections? :)

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karolis:
They probably have worked out the algorithm used to create IMEI codes and then somehow reverse engineered it or something.

I have no idea to tell you the truth, but it's the same way as unlocking any other mobile phone. It's just that no one has made it publicly available yet.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] pj1115:
Hey all,

I couldn't find a slider for Manila that I liked, so I made one. I liked the Transparent Slider, but wanted a black-tinted one, so here is the product of my labour if anybody is interested.

Based on Transparent Slider found here and the stock black one.

Download ZIPs contain PNG and PSD of slider (for customisation), and CAB to install.

Two variations:

Tinted.zip - Plain tinted glass slider

Hole.zip - Tinted glass slider with feathered transparency in the centre (I prefer this one)

Screenshots can be provided if requested,. Tested only on Gen.Y Manila 2.1, might work on other versions. Cab file installs a CFC compressed version. Uninstallable.

Enjoy!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] teorouge:
Screenshots please! :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] pj1115:
Here are the screenshots.

First two are the Hole version, the other two are the Tinted version. Don't forget to have a play with the opacity (transparency) to customise to your liking (open the PSD in photoshop, the opacity of Layer 2 is the one you want).

NOTE: The Hole version pictured here has a slightly lower opacity than the one packaged.

Both of the packaged sliders are too dark for my liking, but I have found that the people I have given them too prefer them this dark.

My preferred opacity levels are as follows: Tinted=35% Hole=55%

[G1 Apps and Games] redmdc:
Howdy Ho :)

Right then with all the controversy with GOOGLE not being happy with cyan distributing there apps with his roms....

I HAVE THE SOLUTION

This Software will Take a BARE BONES ROM (no google apps included) and will basically aslong as you have a back up copy of these google apps will UnZip the ROM, Stuff it with your backup apps, ReZip the ROM and SIGN it so you have a fully fleshed out ROM to go out and update :)

Just to add this is just a test app to demonstrate a method to combat google threats make sure u check back when cyan releases bare bone app for update

HAPPY DAYS

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=F5STCYJN
[G1 Apps and Games] alritewhadeva:
Wow that's awesome! Great job :D Will test it out once cyan releases bare-bones 4.2
[G1 Apps and Games] lucky 69:
just download it !thanks .great work .how do you make it work and copy your google apps for back up ? will this work on hero roms if they strip down to ?thanks for your time and work :D
[G1 Apps and Games] enomther:
Does this only do Google Apps ?

or can it account for proprietary HW Manufacturers supplied files as well???

~enom~
[G1 Apps and Games] redmdc:
There are four simple steps on how to use the program which you will see once you open it, you must already have the google apps backed up as i cannot distribute them(obviously lol) but there are scripts available around here which will pull all the google apps from your current rom and back them up, i may include this next time i get a chance to program
[G1 Apps and Games] Shane2:
Glad to see we are already getting solutions to bypass Google's lockdown. Just happy that I already have the ROM with the new market and YouTube :D
[G1 Apps and Games] redmdc:
it will push whatever apps you have backed up into system/app then zip it up and sign it ready for updating. tho i would not place any old app in there because it will save them all in the phones memory
[G1 Apps and Games] G1-evolve:
Nice going. :]
[G1 Apps and Games] stellarman:
You need to coordinate with Farmatito and his thread <HERE>. He has developed a script that backs up all the necessary files. But they don't all exist in /system/app. We need to all coordinate on these things so that effort doesn't end up getting duplicated and wasted. :)
[G1 Apps and Games] :
This should be migrated into CM-Updater

:)

Does this mean everybody is happy again?
[G1 Apps and Games] G1-evolve:
Personally, what ever it takes to get Cyanogen to keep up the work. He's amazing! ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] lucky 69:
ya this is a good idea. so we can get back up and running legal like ! great work to all doing this.plus i think Cyanogen is working on a app to do this to? my main apps is just google i want to back up i use them all the time .
[G1 Apps and Games] redmdc:
Good point i think if were going to use an app to do this we will need to pull in all our efforts together so we can have the full monty in one app,

just looking through that script though and im wondering if it is actually necessary to pull all of those apps? i think it would be necessary to chat with cyan to get the specific apps that he will be removing from his roms, but this is a start.... at the moment this app is useless as there are no bare bone roms lol but its a light in the right direction
[G1 Apps and Games] lucky 69:
ya i opened it up looks very easy to use!! if you could include the script that back up you google apps that would be nice so it would all one package deal .i have back ups oon my computer of the rom im now on and alot more !was down loading them when all this went down. hey what was the cm latest update date that had market working ? i think i have it ,i am on a hero rom right now .i know he's coming out with the 4.2 soon
[G1 Apps and Games] redmdc:
yea i do plan on creating a script built in but until i know which ones cyan will be removing its hard to know whats going where lol
[G1 Apps and Games] lucky 69:
ya i know ,well at least the ball is rolling now ! i knew there was a way to get this done !!!!!!!!!! thanks to all!!
[G1 Apps and Games] redmdc:
The bones are there to the project just need the go ahead on what apps will be removed and voila

WE HAVE THE SOLUTION
[G1 Apps and Games] farmatito:
For the backing up part its just a matter of updating the lists of files and

the name of the archive. The infrastructure, error checking and testing

is already there. The needed binaries (zip) are compiled and tested.

BTW do you prefer zip or tar.gz archives (can do both) ?
[G1 Apps and Games] redmdc:
Zip if you can bud nice one. Il get to work on it
[G1 Apps and Games] farmatito:
zip is the default in v3, -t switch gives you tar.gz. ;-)
[G1 Apps and Games] UnkzDomain:
I developed a script with a solution to the same problem in mind, but a different way of approaching it. My script creates a flashable update that can be kept on the SD card and flashed after flashing an AOSP build without any Google apps.

It gets the files not from your phone, but from a legal distribution by HTC for the ADP1. For more information on my script, you can check out my blog.
[G1 Apps and Games] ccriffman:
Hi- great of you to get right on this. much appreciated. I am sort of a newbie, so posting the scripts you mention that will automatically back up these google apps would be awesome and very much appreciated by in-experienced ( in android platform at least) users such as myself- chris:D
[G1 Apps and Games] ytj87:
Thank for your work red.

But from what Cyan has been saying, this is well beyond the Goog apps. We're talking Goog bits throughout. From syncing to sign on to the major apps. Are you telling me this will handle all the Goog bits? We don't even know what Cyan has been told behind the scenes about what he needs to remove, so we don't even know what 4.2 will be missing.
[G1 Apps and Games] DavidChill:
definitely worth testing out with CM4.2 is released, good work ! :D
[G1 Apps and Games] cupOjo:
So I'm confused. Is this software for my phone or do I open it on my computer? If it is for me to open on my computer, will it work on a mac?
[G1 Apps and Games] badbob001:
It's probably impossible to put android onto an existing device without using non-proprietary code. The hardware drivers would be closed source or only exist as binaries. In the case of the G1, even if HTC decides to provide a free license to their drivers, there is probably no way in hell Qualcomm will allow it for their bits.

The only way around this is to build your own hardware and write your own drivers, which is impossible for almost all of us. So it's back to the old vendor game where if you want the latest OS version, you can't roll your own and will have to wait for them to release it for you, which of course comes nicely packaged in a costly new hardware purchase.

Seriously, Google created Android for the vendors,

not you

[G1 Apps and Games] redmdc:
the only quirey id have with this method is that im wondering if your actually going to flash a rom without most of googles stuff im wondering whether it will screw it up because android relies on some of them
[G1 Apps and Games] redmdc:
this will be sorted once i know what he will be pulling from the apps because i can then get on scripting or using the v3 script to pull these and then stuff em back in before updating
[G1 Apps and Games] redmdc:
just for some advice to all of you out there if and when 4.2 is released come back and check for an update as there WILL be one
