Hi all and sorry if this question has been answered before but I am new to these forums and am not yet familiar with all the ways on how to search for what I am looking for.

Here is my tale of woe. Two weeks ago I bought an unused (still boxed) XDA IIi from an auction room. I didn't pay a lot for it and was happy with my purchase. I stuck my sim card in and away I went. I was having problems connecting to my home wireless network and wondered why this was happening. Reading a few posts on google many people said to upgrade the radio and things would be ok. I located an upgraded Rom 1.11.00 and proceeded to upgrade my PDA. Halfway through the update I got an error 150 message saying that my PDA could not be upgraded. I read up on this problem and was advised to do a hard reset and try again. Problem is that I cannot perform a hard reset, no matter how long I hold the power and reset buttons together. All I have showing on the screen is The version number 1.00.00 Is there a way of rescuing this device?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FREAKJAM:
For the last couple of weeks i'm trying to get a Blur-rom working on my G1, but sadly it's giving me alot of problems.

I mainly tried flashing it from scratch, which means im running the following setup:

I also tried the same setup, except i used ext2 instead of ex3.

The problems I have;

After flashing the rom everything works ok. I sign in to motoblur, and set everything up. But after doing a reboot, the problems start. Right after I enter my pincode, and the homescreen starts loading, i'm getting force closes all over. In the end all I see is a blackscreen, and the white taskbar.

Is my setup wrong? If you ppl want more information, I can flash it again, and will try to collect some logs.

Thx in advance.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FREAKJAM:
*bump*

Still having the same problems, also when running the newest blur rom around (Motorola Blur / S-Blur_1.071 - Bluetooth).

Here is more info (my logs)

http://pastebin.com/m1b544f9c

Hopefully somebody can help, since I wanna run this one on my phone badly :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shafty023:
First what kind of phone do you have? G1/MT3G/Hero ?

Next, did you make sure and do a COMPLETE wipe on your phone?

This means erase:

/system/sd/app_s

/system/sd/dalvik-cache

/system/sd/app

/system/sd/app-private

All of /data

You would do that from the Recovery screen. You can't just go into Recovery, then choose Drop to a terminal and then type

busybox rm -rf /system/sd

That won't work, when you boot into Recovery none of your partitions are mounted. And choosing "Do a data wipe" from the recovery menu DOES NOT erase your /system/sd partition. You need to mount /system/sd before clearing everything off of it.

As far as your partitions are concerned, keep it as ext2 and not ext3. Read the first post in the Blur thread and it explains how your sdcard should be partitioned.

You should also probably run a fsck on your ext2 partition to make sure it's still functional.

e2fsck -fy /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

And also verify your swap is still good

mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

Given the errors you're having it sounds like you did not do a complete wipe as explained in the first thread, or your ext2 partition is corrupt and you just need to run a fsck on it
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FREAKJAM:
I installed the rom completely fresh on a G1 (dream), formatted my sdcard and made 3 new partitions using parted on the recovery console.

So basically saying this isn't enough?

reformatting my sd card now and did the following;

will flash now, and get back to you when i have more info :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shafty023:
Technically yes that is all you would need, but once again follow the steps I outlined. No need to blow away partitions. I don't know your level of expertise so I don't know if you're doing it correctly. For all I know you could be creating the partitions, then forgetting to format /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 as fat32, or forgetting to format /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 as ext2, or forgetting to mkswap on /dev/block/mmcblk0p3.

Since you are the only one having this issue it basically means you are missing a step somewhere along the way. The ROM does not hate your phone, lol.

Please follow the regular ROM flashing guidelines. After you create the partitions make sure you can manually mount the fat32 partition at /sdcard and the ext3 partition at /system/sd. Also make sure you didn't somehow screw up the phone parititions, IE /dev/block/mtdblock[1-5]
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FREAKJAM:
I think I flashed my phone atleast 200x in the last 6 months..

I'm very addicited to flashing, and I setup a hero rom just like that using parted.

I always reformat my sdcard to start "fresh".

Anyways, flashing now :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shafty023:
K lemme know how that goes. If it crashes like that again do something for me, open up a shell using "adb shell" and do "cat /data/a2sd.log" and tell me what it says
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FREAKJAM:
Here is my log, phone is still booting tho, but seems a2sd is done already.

Still splashscreen on my phone atm.. booting takes longer then normal! Waiting for around 5 mins now.. will wait a bit longer ;)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shafty023:
Well what is adb logcat showing? Is it still progressing? Is it throwing errors?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FREAKJAM:
Redid a total new format and flash cuz it was taking pretty long..

here is some stuff from the logcat;

http://pastebin.com/d2fef07f0

still on the splashscreen for some minutes now..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shafty023:
The ONLY way to get the errors you got there are from a pre-existing installation on your phone.

Your md5sum for the update should be:

62b9b3925e95b70eda1c77e8317dc7a9 S-Blur_1.071-full.zip

If it is not then re-download the update again and try flashing.

Redo a wipe and when you are positive you have wiped, check manually that all the files are gone. Don't re-partition/format. Just do the following from recovery shell

mount /system/sd
busybox rm -f /system/sd/app_s/*
busybox rm -f /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*
busybox rm -f /system/sd/app/*
busybox rm -f /system/sd/app-private/*
umount /system/sd
mount /data
busybox rm -f /data/app/*
busybox rm -f /data/app_s/*
umount /data
mount /system
busybox rm -f /system/app/*
umount /system

Phewww, then do a flippin flash of the ROM. That should GUARANTEE that you have a clean wipe.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FREAKJAM:
did the whipe just like u said..

and now flashing again.. pfew ;)

will keep u posted!

thanks for the help so far!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FREAKJAM:

after first reboot, again FC all over. This rom really must hate my phone :(

did you make it through set up?

can u make it into settings and mess with that?

what blur rom are you flashing? it may be messed up
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FREAKJAM:
I can set everything up, all the info bout what rom I am currently trying to flash is found in the 2nd post.

After the first reboot, it's giving all the force closes.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shafty023:
Where are you located? The US/Europe/somewhere else? It's having issues setting your locale. When the setup first comes up, are you selecting US English?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FREAKJAM:
I'm from Holland. I select US English yes, but I vaguely remember that it jumped to Deutsch, and that I can't change it back to English.

Perhaps it won't let me run this rom since i'm from the EU.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shafty023:
Hmmm there's a very good chance that it wouldn't work if you chose anything but English. You may need to use a different libril.so since the one in the ROM is for US. Or Motorola might have designated this only for US users as they will have a different device (the Dext ?) for Europe. Basically it's the Cliq but for overseas. Anyways, erase everything again, reflash and this time make sure you select US English and everything else US just in case Motorola is not allowing anyone outside of US. If that doesn't work you might be out of luck.

You would need to unpack the ROM and hack it to work on your device. Kind of how we hack it to work on G1's
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FREAKJAM:
I don't have to skills to "hack" system files. I'll try one more time, trying a US setup. Otherwise ill just have to live with it. Thanks for all the help, esp shafty.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FREAKJAM:
So I tried this baby again after playing with Hero Eclair for a while.

The problem is that the setup-language during the first setup keeps jumping back to German. What files do I have to edit to remove the languages I dont need?

Thnx.

Manilla for Android

This is a home replacement app I have been working on.

May. 13th: Apk

Dec. 22nd: Visual changes, under the hood stuff, open beta soon!

Nov. 22nd: Just added settings picture.

For everyone that complains about not being able to run anything or for me to hurry up. Here is the apk, pretty much nothing works. You will just be able to look at stuff and launch applications. Tabs are not in the right order and dont bother reporting problems to me at this point.
[G1 Apps and Games] gigagrunt:
I am def curious to see what you got going on. :p
[G1 Apps and Games] jamizzal:
yea i would love to see that in action
[G1 Apps and Games] jasonpeinko:
added some pictures.
[G1 Apps and Games] enderx1:
sure

Looks pretty cool, I would keep at it.
[G1 Apps and Games] maxisma:
Nice! You should get together with some other devs for this.. :)
[G1 Apps and Games] blackgin:
Lol, I'm so curious about what you can do! Great idea.
[G1 Apps and Games] M..N:
dont give up this is definately worth finishing.
[G1 Apps and Games] doubleokneegro:
yeah definitely worth finishing my friend....

"who cares" if some dont like it, if any at all... its great to see a new look and feel

its "Open Source" so dont let someone shut the door

will there be widgets included... doesnt matter, but curious to see if every aspect will be changed, window by window, will there be usage of a new music app, custom this custom that?

wow im lost (intox)
[G1 Apps and Games] jasonpeinko:
I will finish it, i will maybe make a video soon.

I currently have these tabs planned:

Main screen, contacts, applications, messages, email, weather, music, and settings.

Idk about widgets yet but what would be cool would be to come up with some kind of system that instead of widgets maybe devs can create plugins that add new tabs.
[G1 Apps and Games] dpgc213:
With this can you actually slide accross the tabs? Or do you have to tap each one?

BTW this looks great :D
[G1 Apps and Games] evolarius:
i do like this... keep the work up...

if it could be color customizable, that would be fantastic!!!
[G1 Apps and Games] jasonpeinko:
everything slides, including the main content area the tab content areas slide to show the next. The grid views are very slow, so i need to find a new alternative to them.
[G1 Apps and Games] Carloswithac:
Would this be a home replacement application?
[G1 Apps and Games] shaneaus:
This would be very similar to a portion of SweeterHome (alternate Home Screen app). Can tell you that issues you will run into are memory and graphics management (the SH dev has been working a LONG time to work those out as well as a lot of bugs in Android that had to be worked around). Not trying to discourage you. If you can make this a stand alone app without being a Home Screen replacement... I would say go for it. :)
[G1 Apps and Games] jasonpeinko:
home replacement is a stand alone app you just add a filter to display in the menu. I dont think it makes a difference performance wise.
[G1 Apps and Games] ccriffman:
Manilla

I for one think it looks great- Chris
[G1 Apps and Games] kavants:

[G1 Apps and Games] kjplaysguitar:
great job

love to see it on my droid when i pick up next week. any 2.0 support?
[G1 Apps and Games] zayg1:
So manilla is a home replacement???
[G1 Apps and Games] 3miki3:
1

public .apk file please ......... i want tested it :eek:
[G1 Apps and Games] tehseano:
Christ, you people have absolutely no patience, what-so-ever. How would you feel if we all stood around you while you took a piss, and kept poking you "are you done yet?" "are you done yet?"

Give the guy a break and just let him work. If I was the dev, I'd forgot all about releasing it to the public and just keep it for my self, JUST because of people like you.
[G1 Apps and Games] romano_ezzat:
can we find demo to try it

i mean the demo is release or stil not and it will work with g1or not

[G1 Apps and Games] jasonpeinko:
I could give you the current apk, but its just something to look at right now, there is not very much functionality at all. The parts that do work, still have bugs for example: the app list does not update when you download a new app, and there is no roll over, or press change to the icon to let you know you pressed/selected it.

The calendar loads events the first time its run, but wont update once an event has passed.

So if I release it, you can look at it, but there is no real purpose or use for it right now.
[G1 Apps and Games] mobilemaster999:
Release

lets get a taste of what you got

Dont expect anything much.
[G1 Apps and Games] kavants:
is this dead? or are you still working on it?
[G1 Apps and Games] Icebergxx:
I feel kind of stupid because I didn't catch this post when it was first published this looks great! I would buy it, tell other people to buy it, showcase it and all lol.

Just be mindful with contact photos, they get resized to the Google Server so when you display them large they get distorted and you might want to consider an option to add photos from the gallery over using the google ones.

Can't wait to see this done feel free to PM me with a beta .apk :D

*Raises hand*
[G1 Apps and Games] jubeh:
I was working on something similar (I wanted the manila 2.6 look on my phone), but all I did was use the regular launcher and replace the app drawer with a scrolling icon view, you'd have to manually scroll the icons left to right and then select the one you wanted (as opposed to dropping the tab into the one you wanted, I never learned how to do that or found any documentation about it), the icons would persist and launch activities, mostly front ends, when selected, and if the icon was already focused (thus it's activity already launched) and you'd click on the icon, it'd bring up the full app, or, in the "Home"'s case, the app drawer.

I stopped working on it because it looked very ghetto and force-closes abounded. Glad to see you have a professional looking one. I agree, this is an app I'd pay for.
[G1 Apps and Games] sacredsoul:
Me three! Me three!!! :D
[G1 Apps and Games] jasonpeinko:

[G1 Apps and Games] jamizzal:
i wouldnt mind beta testing it at all....i love the look of it and it can only get better with the final graphics after improving the performance i like how you decided to focus on performance means you really want your product to be enjoyable.

[G1 Apps and Games] mswiss:
im really excited for this, i had manilla on my wing when i had that,the only problem then was that it ran slow as dirt. I'll beta test for the g1 if you need it, although it does appear that you have a lot of volunteers already
[G1 Apps and Games] jasonpeinko:
I will probably do an open beta, im not sure if im going to charge or not for the final app.
[G1 Apps and Games] xavier6303:
You could have it as a free app with a donate app. Call me crazy but if an app is "paid" I just refuse to buy it but if its free with a donate...I have no problem "buying" the donate thing. I guess its a psychological thing.

Definitely waiting for this though, I would love to have the tabbed home approach but dont want to go to hero. Great work!

But I must say my personal preference for the time would be to see the actual time in big bold and not the day. Do you have any kind of customizations in mind in this regard or in general?

[G1 Apps and Games] jasonpeinko:
Just a quick update, I have got the app starting in a decent time. Applications still load very slow, but hey atleast it does not stop you from using the app while its loading.

Also scrolling the contacts and apps grid list feels smooth, to me smoother then the actually home application.

I will either finish the sms tab and weather tab or fix up the code and release a version like pre-pre-alpha just to see how its working on others phones.

Um Excuse me Asshole, Its not like i asked every ten minutes, I asked the first one 5 days ago and he gave an update after me asking, So 5 days later i figured maybe if i ask i can see how hes doing on making it.

If you have nothing smart to say go buy an iPhone you seem like that type of guy. By the way im sure the guy making this wouldnt mind me asking for an update after 5 days nice and simply, Stop using up the forums for your *****ing.

And if he had a problem with me asking for a simple update he can PM me and I would apologize, but this being a forum and im sure hes not an 10 year old kid I almost positive he wouldn't mind.

Your the only one that had a problem with me asking a short simple question, your the only person who found me annoying and Im not sure why or what your problem is with me out of all these people but get a life. Calling me kid and acting like that hints towards you being a kid, Just for your information.
