[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnytablet:
well, mainly a proof of concept and if you've checked my track record you'll notice i don't even have my g1 to use as a phone. i've been trying to make it into a pretty well rounded mid. But my question is how would i do it? flash all internet memory, then push the new linux kernel, filesystem etc onto the device and cross my fingers and hope for the best? or could you trick the system into thinking its a android update and have it install that way? And down the road could you use a regular bootloader like LILO or grub to duel boot or would you have to ghetto rig something?

(p.s: a terminal based is what i was thinking of in the first place i always got ssh for the heavy lifting )
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Reverend Gridlock:
technically the g1 is a tri-boot

1.) standard os that we use as normal

2) recovery patition. where we flash our update.zips

3) bootloader. where it fastboots or flash.nbh to overwrite entire system

so for what you would like to do is build a moddified boot.img to load up the nessciary files to boot your linux distrom maybe you could even set up switchrom to doit so when you need to use android you still have the option. there is a thread on how to run debian through the terminal maybe you could moddify that to work for you but getting the drivers for the files needed to be able to do anything would be the main issue. give me a sec and i will edit this posts with the links to that threadand how to make a boot.img

here is boot.img

here is installing debian on g1, newest info is towards the end, i didn't read through it but last time i looked someone was close to what you want

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
Here's a suggestion. Put a modified kernel/init stuff on the recovery partition, install your system onto sdcard. Regular boot = 'droid, recovery boot = 'deb.

Note: you WILL have to use a kernel that is built with the appropriate drivers for the dream hardware.

Note2: you will probably have some driver problems re getting Xorg running on the dream hardware. I don't think its vesa compatible, so you'll most likely have to hack together an xorg driver.

i just bought a tilt 2 yesterday and everything worked great. i also noticed that led was blinking. i did not charge my phone that night and so i charged it the next morning. i figured it was 80% charged that i wanted to play with it. i first turned off the phone and turned it back on. all of a sudden everything was laggy. i could not open a program. i would click on start and that would be it. it would not go to the home screen. i did another power off and took of the battery and then same thing happened. also the internet was not working nor you tube. i went to at&t and explained to them what happened and the guy exchanged mine for a new tilt 2. anyone encounter this? i dont wanna power off my phone and experience something like this again.... my led is not blinking but only blinks when i get mail or something...

Give me some specifics like build 1.5 or 1.6? google apps? games? apps2sd? give me some answers because im tired of this half cooked rom :O
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Which rom is half cooked? It's personal preference though which rom to choose.

The only variations of ASOP roms are BFS, mem hack as the kernal is pretty much the same and they all include most of the same things. Obviously 1.6...

Hero roms I look for rosie speed with most of the widgets in tact and flash browser.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freaktractor:
stability...

no coma/fc/reboot issues
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gurnted:
At this point stability and speed. As more vendors enter the game with customized builds other factors will begin to come into play. For instance the level of social network integration in recent roms is beginning to become relevant when choosing. Also the Launcher apps are starting to vary more.

Whether it is based on 1.5 or 1.6 doesn't matter as much as how functional the rom is. Donut adds a couple nice things but the Pulse, Cliq, and Hero roms (though based on Cupcake) are much more feature rich.

Google apps and a2sd have become pretty much standard issue for all the roms and will probably remain that way until we have more internal storage and better apps to replace the Google ones with.

As far as apps and games goes, leave that up to the user to install. Unless it defaultly comes with the rom, or is usefull to the majority of users leave it out. No need for bloated roms with apps only a few use. Keep 'em slim and let the user add what they want.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnytablet:
its my half baked rom
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty3656:
I am not technical, so from a non-technical perspective, I always add Loccy's better browser (mutitouch/doubletap); CyTown's Modifed Phone MOD (vibrate on hangup various other options); Meltus Max Volume and some form of Advanced Launcher(set number of home screens,submenu's,hide apps,etc); an upgraded camera app would be nice - but I will grab one from the market if the Rom doesn't have it. I always look for a Rom with the PDF Viewer installed because I haven't found a good one in the market. I always run Apps2SD. Also, it seems you need either a Linux Swap or Comcache (I don't care which).

I like the funtionality of the Hero Rom's but they still lag a little too much, so I am on a Donut build (the Official).

Edit: forgot - I like Stericson's Lock screen (and if possible the abilty to make the wallpaper of the lock screen different from the home page).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnytablet:
how does comcache compare to a Linux swap?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolomari:
I have used both and haven't seen a huge difference in speed. miketaylor00 has done a lot of testing and found that the swap partition is faster, but TheOfficial and the cyan mods both use compcache by default with notes that they have been tested and found to be the fastest. I don't know about the Hero ROMs.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gurnted:
Cyanogen recently mentioned he will not be enabling compcache by default any longer. He says it exposes too many bugs.

Unless the rom is based on one designed for the Dream, you are probably gonna want to use swap to help with the lack of ram.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
How does one change their partition from compache to swap? I created the partition and in cyanogen I trust.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasallis3:
Question.

I was on 4.0.4 and the phone started freezing on me. Just freezes and becomes completely unresponsive. To reset I have to pull the battery. Now this had happened about once a day for the last week, but today I had to pull about 12 times. Now 4.0.4 was working well until I tried to go to 4.1.99. That was too laggy and buggy so I restored my nandroid backup. So for the past week I was living with the occasional battery pull.

Tonight, I tried to go to 4.1.9999, and now it freezes on me during the initial sign in process, "SIGNED IN! SLIDE KEYBOARD BACK TO CONTINUE". It does not get past this screen.

I'll do a Nandroid restore to get operational, but that level of operability was pretty weak.

I have AmonRa's recovery, but I only did one wipe prior to the two flashes.

ADDITIONALLY, I try to get to the recovery boot screen now after I pull the battery and the phone wont let me. Still goes right onto the Welcome to TMO G1 Android screen, where it proceeds to lock where I mentioned previously.

Any ideas?

****. I get an ERROR PERFORMING RESTORE! TRY RUNNING 'NANDROID-MOBILE.SH RESTORE' FROM CONSOLE!

The **** has hit the fan!

As of this moment, I can't do a Nandroid restore, and I can't get past the above mentioned slide keyboard back to continue screen. How bad is it?

parted shows the 2 partions on there currently (fat32 and ext3) but wont let me remove them. wtf!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tstall2:
Three step process for me to get this to work.

First, you need to download the CAB that adds the Program tab to TF3D and re-enables the WM start menu. That can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=528760

Second you will need the keyboard re-mapping utility found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=528760

Third, you will need to re-map your home button on "click" to run program: \windows\manila.exe with arguments of "--switchtopage Manila://programs.page

For long press I use the same program with arguments of "--switchtopage Manila://homepage"

And for double click I "Emulate Key press" left Win key to bring up the WM start menu.

I have the best of all worlds with this config.

So im installing 4.1.9999

Im following this steps, but

1- Perform a Backup......nandroid, etc

2- Download: http://developer.htc.com/adp.html#s3 Android 1.6 Recovery Image. This isn't the type of recovery image we know. It's HTCs version of an update.zip

3- Download my ROM. Posted Below

4- Mount your phone and place BOTH 1.6 Image and my ROM on your SD Card.

5- Reboot into recovery mode *Home+Power*

6- WIPE!!!! This will allow google apps to function, correctly.

7- Apply sdcard:choose zip *PICK dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip* from the list

ALLOW IT TO INSTALL FIRST.....you will see the "unbox" image.........then it will automatically reboot HOLD HOME button while it reboots.

8- Apply sdcard:choose zip *Pick cm-4.1.99-signed.zip* from the list.

9- Reboot!

-When I applied "dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip" i kept holding home.. during the whole installation.. and my phone never rebooted.

-so should I reboot it and press home to install the other .zip , or should I just install it now?
