[G1 Android Development] Redeye:
Speed of the rom is good for the first 15 min. then it starts to slooooooow down.

Browser works great ... wish we had multi-touch

Dialer looks good no lags

Market - First load took forever but once it's loaded it works great. Both paid and free apps installed.

No Google Nav

No Blue Tooth - Known issue

No GPS

Issues

- Images in the notification bar are really fuzzy.

- Blue line in notification and gmail items. Looks like it could be a control lib issue. (See attached - 2 images)

- GMAIL : Touch interaction for gmail has issues.

- font issue . see attached images (See attached)

- Theme and icons look to be from 1.6 not 2.0.

EDIT: I forgot to mention LED's don't work

I'll add more as I find them.

Hi there, I am in the process of testing PPCKitchen which is found here and I do find it unresistingly nice but it does not have any official support for Blackstone.

The last update was in April 2009 and they mentioned that a blackstone base would be available in a week then no updates after that.

So I was wondering did any one tested it and if they did what was there findings.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmed radwan:
my experia drop from my hand to the floor which were wet with few water.I catch the phone very fast ,switch off ,and clean from water and dry it then swtich on. It work fine but I find the following:

1. when wake up ( from power button or slider or syn...) It open some other applications as dialar , contacts and alarm.

2. Sometimes it auto answer calls without rining.

3. Sometimes during a call it make hold without touching anything.

.....I have try so many roms it is almost the same problem.

Many Thanks for reading my long story..

Kindly help....
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhyBe:
Sounds like hardware problem (buttons). Software won't do anything beneficial to this problem.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
I understand this directory has something to do with Bluetooth.

There are ten ~6.7 MB files in that directory with names like core.872 and core.19735.

I did a nandroid backup and then removed them. Everything seems to be OK, but I don't use BT for anything.

Any idea what these are? Could this be related to the BT ROM leak?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
I wish people wouldn't call it a "ROM leak"... it just sounds so silly. ROMs don't leak and the ROM in the Hero isn't leaking. *SOMETHING* is just occupying data space.

Having said that... those are core dumps. Weird, I'd have expected Android to disable core dumps. The phone doesn't have file(1), so it's a little difficult to tell what dumped, but the number in the extension is the PID of the faulting process.

Mine doesn't have any, or I'd yank one over to my desktop and investigate it.

They *are* taking up space in /data, which is going to make the phone look like it has less storage space available (the number in the Settings app will go down). Erase them, they're useless to you.

It might be interesting to search the whole phone with find(1)... that at least is there (or maybe it's in the busybox MoDaCo installs ^_^) and see if there are any other dump files hanging around.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
Great info, thanks. I wonder if they're related to bluetooth crashes since they're in the btips directory?

I searched for other files named core* but nothing looks like a core dump. There's a core.xml and a bunch of "coredump_filter" in proc directories and that's about it.

I think leak is an appropriate term though. Applications that have memory leaks consume memory that they can't release. This is similar, just with the onboard flash.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mobilehavoc:
I probably know the answer already but hoping...is there anyway to delete these core dump files in the btips folder without having to root the phone? Could an app or script on non-rooted device be able to just delete those files? I'm surprised there's no way through the phone to clear system dumps/cache, etc.

Looking for a way since a lot of people have this problem but not many will be comfortable rooting.

[Android Themes] G1_Lucky:
From the looks of it the idea has potential but it all depends on how you shoot out whis theme.

Maybe finding an icon set could help you in making this theme a little more complete

If you want you can head over to my thread and if you would like my help, I can help as much as I can :)

Thanks,

[G1 Android Development] Zoide_:
So, now that people have figured out how to enable Navigation (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=582656), how about the Eclair CarDock?

bogdi1988 was able to install it by modifying the prop file (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4921107&postcount=201), but it won't run yet. Has anyone else tried it?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] bogdi1988:
it installs with the prop, but it fails to start. it gives 'force close' and that's all.

as soon as i put original props, app deletes itself. i shell-ed in the phone and it was missing from /system/app folder and also from the Settings - Application page.

i guess we need an app that is de-odex-ed... or w/e it's called... (it's late here)
[G1 Android Development] TinyTm344:
I also got it to install with the prop on my MT3G but when i revert back to original props the app is missing
[G1 Android Development] m2cool2go:
I also installed under new prop files and then reverted back to old, car home still remains for me... of course, this is completely useless as the app force closes just like for everyone else.

[G1 Android Development] coolbho3000:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Binary XML file line #25: You must supply a layout_height attribute.

I'll look into this but probably incompatibility due to it being the 2.0 sdk ;)
[G1 Android Development] superg05:
first thing no idea what im talking about but droid have magnetic dock/sensor so would u have to change dock code from mag to accelerometer
[G1 Android Development] coolbho3000:
I checked, there are no android:layout_heights missing anywhere. 99% sure this can only be run on a phone with 2.0 frameworks then. :rolleyes: Besides, all the packed graphics are for WVGA and would have to be scaled down.
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
not entirely sure if they could do that as it would launch everytime the phone was tilted but they should be able to remove that code alltogether. The software comes with a shortcut that can be placed on the desktop and launched just like an app.
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
Since the stood has a bigger screen then the dream and magic is possible that the only problem is resizing the resolution to be compatiable with the dream n magic
[G1 Android Development] javacody:
I know the G1 has a compass which is a magnetic sensor. Don't most Android phones have compasses?
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Interesting idea. A quick check with a rare-earth magnet shows a clear order-of-magnitude difference on the magnetometer, as you'd expect. That seems like a more significant code change, though, since you're adding a conditional check on the magnitude of the mag field.

[G1 Android Development] kernelzilla:
I'm able to run the Car Home (CarDock.apk) on Cyanogen 4.2.8.1 (ADP1), although the 'navigate to' voice commands don't work (needs map update?).

Here's the apk I used: http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/apps/CarDock.apk

Does anyone know where the magnetometer is on the G1/ADP? I want to test the auto-switching without running a magnet all over and potentially damaging it.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Yeah, I was bored and ported it to run on Donut.
[G1 Android Development] H@OBouget:
Am I missing something special about this program?

As far as I can tell, all it does is make a set of shortcuts to...

Maps

Navigation

Voice Search

Contacts

Search

Search is redundant because the Voice Search does the exact same thing, with out having to type.

So by using car home... I am hitting a button, so I can hit a button, to open a program?

Why not just have one desk top page with a short cut to each icon in a corner?

Get in the car and swipe to the "Car" desktop.

I thought it might do a bluetooth integration with some of the newer cars, auto enable GPS...or something cool like that.

Seems useless to me.
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
The app is actually supposed to start automatically when you plug your phone in, so you don't really have to start it yourself. But yeah, it's pretty pointless like the weather widget, people still like it for some reason.
[G1 Android Development] mattv888:
Try downloading the magnetic sensor app from the Market, and putting your phone near something electronic or metal. Experiment where it gives you the highest/clearest reading. Relatively (if not completely) harmless and gives you a good indication of where the magnetometer is.
[G1 Android Development] melterx12:
i just installed that car home thing to my mytouch 3g.. the voice search works flawlessly, why isnt yours working again?
[G1 Android Development] 2girls1cup:
forgive me for my novice state of intelligence, but is cardock required to have the voice navigation work? I tried testing out the navigation today and I got no voice response on turns. Is this what we are trying to do?
[G1 Android Development] Michael.Rose:
Uselessness because it doesn't work right???

Maybe it is just me, but I think the confusion over this being just a set of short cuts and that it is useless is because it doesn't seem to be working right. At least it is not working right for me.

When I press the Voice search and say something "Navigate to Pizza" (just like in the example), the Car Home app does a voice search of "Navigate to Pizza" in the browser. I end up with just a page full of Google search results of the words "Navigate to Pizza". What is supposed to do is open Navigation, search for "Pizza" around my location, and then start the GPS turn by turn navigation to a Pizza place. Likewise "Directions to..." does the same thing. The only Voice command that seems to be registered properly is "Call". So if I say "Call John Doe", I get calling choices for John Doe and not the Google search results.
[G1 Android Development] vwyankee:
Are you saying you were able to use the voice command from Car Home and it put you in navigation mode to the destination you spoke? Such as, "Navigate to O'Charley's?"

I'm experiencing the same as another posted on my G1 where the voice recognition works perfectly, but it's no different than the stock 1.6 voice search bringing up a Google search of "Navigate to O'Charley's" instead of launching the navigation.

I was hoping to be able to have that functionality of using the Car Home voice commands like native 2.0+ Android phones.
[G1 Android Development] jtroye32:
it works on my g1 with manup's 2.1 rom, but that's prob cause it's 2.1
[G1 Android Development] chemmerling:
Apps that make CarDock Work Correctly... and the ones you don't have...

Droid 2x has the ability to interpret the fact that the phrase "navigate to" means to start Navigation, and get you to the address you want.

Droid 1.6 does not. The Voice Search app is not a local thing. If you search for something with Voice, it uses Google's servers to interpret what you wanted it to do. The newer voice search program will automatically switch from using servers, to actually decoding what you say, and producing a result (faster).

Thus... voice "Navigate to..." will not work with standard 1.6 installs, and this APK.

However, rommed phones running 2x will, because they have the correct system hierarchy.
[G1 Android Development] chucky80:
this does not link to navigation in the 1.6. Only works with 2.XX. Use the nave launcher from market and it works with 1.6 as well as voice search as well as able to create and save addresses in the favorites. for just one click nav.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ssantos6981:
The bluetooth on the G1 isn't that great. I mean, we pretty much waited about 6 months for the dang a2dp. We dont have stock file transfer or receive via bluetooth.

I wouldn't expect much of the available bluetooth hardware to work... at least when it comes to transfer and receving. I haven't been able to do anything via bluetooth other than connect my stereo headset.

Maybe I'm wrong, I don't really have any facts to back up this info, just what I've been able to do with my phone since release and the information I've searched regarding the bluetooth.

[CODEgenext2fs -d ./system -b 180000 system.ext2[/CODE]

then mount it for me i made the directory /mnt/system

sudo mkdir /mnt/system
sudo mount -o loop /whereever/system.ext2 /mnt/system

then make sure you do not have squashfs-tools 4.0 it wont work

make the sqsh file

sudo mksquashfs /mnt/system system.sqsh

say rootfs.img was on your desktop

sudo mkdir /mnt/rootfs
sudo mount -o loop /home/king0fkings/desktop/rootfs.img /mnt/rootfs

Ok thank you very kindly.. just got in from milking the cows, so ill give this a blast :)
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
genext2fs -d ./system -b 180000 -a system.ext2

the -a does work when you use the right genext2fs from the sdk or from pulling the android source and building it. the genext2fs i had uploaded uses the -a but you need to have it in your path before the generic genext2fs gets used or directly execute it. i keep it in /root/bin and execute it from there.

~/bin/genext2fs -d ./system -b 180000 -a system.ext2

the -a is for making android specific images and sets correct permissions

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2888561/porting/genext2fs

make sure you set it to executable

chmod 755 genext2fs
[Touch CDMA General] ali3nfr3ak:
hey there thanks for the info , i cannot get this command to work :

chmod 755 genext2fs

i dunno what to try now

[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
1 go to package manager and remove genext2fs

2 login as root and copy zens genext2fs to /bin/

3 open terminal and type in

5 it should work like so

genext2fs -d ./system -b 180000 -a system.ext2
