the point is that i can't connect to open networks... now i don't have any encrypted networks i can access... and i tried to set the networks as not hidden, bit it's not working... mdajj got exactly what happens to me "hit "Connect": here is, where the device tries to connect, but does not!" and it shows directly "unavailable status for the network, while the router is on the same desk i am sitting in front of. T_T

now i start thinking that the uni can connect only to encrypted netwoks... how could it be? i bought it because of the opposite reason...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] tomal:
Wifi cannot connect if signal is too low.

Unmount the device, check the wifi/antenna connection and make sure that it is not getting touched with other assembly...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] tetora:
i already did it, and i checked again today, the antenna is fine it does not touch anything and its shape is perfect... BUT today i noticed something missing, i have no idea why i never noticed before... the conductive tapes are missing, but even if they were in place, they'd not touch the antenna, so i guess it's not a problem... am i right?

wifi connection problems

Can I suggest a non technical approach. I also had a lot of problems with wifi a couple of years ago, it turned out to be the BATTERY I had a noname battery from Hong Kong that I think just wasn't generating enough power. The phone and everything seemed to work fine except for wifi. When I replaced the battery wifi suddenly worked perfectly. If you know anyone else with a Uni that works on wifi swap the battery and give it a try.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] tetora:
i also thought about that, but even when the power supply is connected to the phone wifi does not work... and then i have 2 batteries, one is not original, Yaobao brand, and the other one seems to be original, but with both does not work... [both 1620mAh]
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] -Jonny-:
Thinking about this, I don't know whether this is relavent, or simply an earth... but the original battery has metal case (or partially), which has a contact pressed to it when inserted in Uni. I have replacement batteries with solely plastic cases, so the contact isn't made. This doesn't affect my wifi, but it's just a thought.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] tetora:
yea, u r right, i did not noticed before... i have both kind of batteries, with one it makes contact, with the other it doesn't... and it's still not working! by the way thanks for the help!

Blow some hot air around the board (if you have a hot-air-station). This is the last thing you can try.

Hi, i modified CyanogenMod 4.2.4 (rom) and Black notifications Bars (mod) by David 1171 for personal use. I want to share with you my (little) work, obviously i take no credits, because these are only little mods.

If you like, simply apply first Cyanogenmod then (after rebooted), reboot another time and apply Black Bars Mod

File Sharing

Since these files are legal to distribute, why not create and host a torrent, and everyone can share with everyone else?

This sounds like exactly what bit torrent was designed for, sharing files amongst a large group of users.
[Android Themes] code72:
New links also don't work?
[Android Themes] Blkmytouch3g:
yes they do. ty. so which ones do i install?

So if i have 4.2.4 already, do i have to flash your 4.2.4 and then flash your black bars link?
[Android Themes] kurtis.austin2:
Great theme man! been looking for a good one with the black notification bar and black tray launcher.

Not sure if you're gonna keep up on this or not, but I will definitely be following if you are.

you should look into throwing in the new icons from Android 2.0 theme for:

Spare Parts

Dev Tools

Voice Dialer

Voice Search

Settings

Maybe look into adding Advanced Launcher?

Anyways, thanks again for sharing this with us! Your work is greatly appreciated. I just love the look of the black. especially on a black g1...makes the screen blend more with the phone and it looks a little bigger.

Thanks again!

I've notice now that flashing over 4.2.5 make me loose the menu animation.

[Android Themes] david1171:
that is because the framework-res.apk/res/anim is different from 4.2.4 to 4.2.5. The new animations where added in with 4.2.5, so something from 4.2.4 will overwrite them.
[Android Themes] code72:
I'm working on 4.2.5 , i'll try to modify the whole rom to make it look like 4.2.4 version of this post, so we have only to flash one zip file for all (black bars, dark power widget, etc...)

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Thann:
I didn't come up with most of this, I'm just condensing it here for people who want to change their lockscreen.

**Nandroid Backup First**

Revert to vanilla android lockscreen:

Remove HtcLockScreen.apk and HtcLockScreen.odex from /system/app and reboot. This will change your lockscreen to the default android one (the grey box). This also means no more dragging to unlock it, so you have to menu menu to get into your phone. It is nice and transparent though. Be sure and save these files because you can just flop them back in to restore the HTC Lockscreen, it just takes a reboot. It will look like this, but with HTC Sense.

Backup -

adb pull /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk C:\

adb pull /system/app/HtcLockScreen.odex C:\

Deleting HTC Lockscreen -

adb shell

$ su

# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

# cd /system/app/

# rm HtcLockScreen.apk

# rm HtcLockScreen.odex

# reboot

Putting the HTC Lockscreen back - (mount system as rw again)

adb push C:/HtcLockScreen.apk \system\app\

adb push C:/HtcLockScreen.odex \system\app\

Transparent HTC Lockscreen:

This will allow you to use a transparent or semi-transparent background as your HTC lockscreen. You can make it look like the Hikari build one here.

1. Pick your image and make it 320x455, it has to be a .png or .gif to suport transparency. Rename it to "htc_wallpaper_01_lockscreen.jpg" and place it in /system/etc/lockscreen/port

2. Clear out /data/misc/locksreen - This is going to remove the cached copy of the current lockscreen. Reboot. The phone will fail to find a cached copy and automatically pick your renamed png-jpeg and you will now have a transparent background.

Command Version - (Change for where your image is stored on your hard drive)

adb shell

$ su

# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

# rm /system/etc/lockscreen/port/htc_wallpaper_01_lockscreen.jpg

# exit

adb push C:/htc_wallpaper_01_lockscreen.jpg \system\etc\lockscreen\port\

adb shell

$ su

# rm -r /data/misc/locksreen/

# reboot

You can shorten this up, but I made this longer so new people could see exactly what we were doing through the commands. Mount as read/write, remove the file, push a new file, clear cache, reboot.

Enjoy!

If you find any typos/errors let me know :)

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Thann:
It's not "better," just different. It will look like this, but with HTC Sense. I added this to the OP too so new people could see it.

[G1 General] Pinesal:
When the G1 came out it was the only Android powered device so modding it worked for everybody. And it was just one brand, HTC, so this forum was a one stop destination for modding our phone.

However, things have changed, now there are multiple phone with incompatible hardware from different manufacturers. Now a custom rom made for the G1, won't work on a DROID for example and vise versa. This complicates things quite a bit.

Right now Cyanogen mods are the best thing for our G1 and maybe the best thing for Android as a whole. I'm used to the build in tether capability and apps to SD and compcace and the other perks of a modded rom. But if I wanted to upgrade my phone, I would lose it all.

There are no Cyanogen mod for anything other than G1 and myTouch phones as far as I know and if I were to upgrade to DROID, I would lose root, lose tether, lose apps to SD, lose everything about my phone that makes it my phone.

Everything I wrote may not be facts, I don't really know what goes on at other forums, but I know that we don't have roms build to run on the DROID and we don't have them built to run on the HERO hardware, it's all for G1 and myTouch, and it seems to me that if I don't ha.ve on of those phones, I lose everything.

I do understand that this forum is for HTC devices which DROID and a few other's are not which is why I don't see homebrew for them. Is there a another website similar to this that supports all Android hardware?

These are thoughts that have been running through my head lately. If I am totally wrong here, please let me know.
[G1 General] TurboTsi:
I would say check out websites such as androidcommunity.com, androidandme.com, phandroid.com. The developers might not be on there but you can probably find links to where there are custom roms for the phones.

And you are right about different phones having different development oppurtunities. I thought about this today and realized that the next android phone I get not only has to be what I want but also be a popular phone that will attract developers such as cyan, maxisma, jac, manup and everyone else. My best guess and hope is that it will be a snapdragon android handset, hopefully for T-Mobile USA.
[G1 General] Pinesal:
What we'll end up having to do is pick our phones based on it's community support and what kind of home brew is available for it.
[G1 General] ytj87:
The reason I love the G1 is the fact that it's rooted and has a large community. This phone is the best on the market, all things considered, because the rooted OS allows so much.

If and when the Droid is rooted, when a GSM version is released, and when it has T-Mo's 3G bands, I will move to it. But all those may not happen for another year or more. If you haven't played with a Droid yet, do so. Incredible speed and the best screen I have ever seen on a phone. Till then, G1 all the way.
[G1 General] Wii60:
The man is right, we have a problem on the dev side.

I think though, once 2.0 gets standard, we'll only need root for a few things like tethering and setting the CPU clock. Really cyanogen's only advantage is optimization, but once 2.0 and snapdragon rolls around, who cares? We'll always want to tinker, but it won't eclipse getting the phone you want.

The big problems right now are that the market isn't getting what it needs. Nothing compares to the HTC widgets, yet instead of cloning them on the market, we try and run a ROM that doesn't even work on our phones! We still don't have BT in Hero and it may just never happen.

2.0 will be what we need as a base, but the market needs our help now.
[G1 General] alec.baldwin:
I'd contest the cyanogen are the best rom's.. maybe for someoen who wants to flash an upgrade every 3 days.. but for the majority of users.. Dwang is the way to go. Lengthy discussion about this, is over here..
[G1 General] Pinesal:
Thanks but this thread is not about who has the best rom.

The point is, when you get a new Android phone, your rom of choice won't be available for it. So what do you do?
[G1 General] jackslim:
I think we all get it already,

YOU

are dwang's biggest fan

But, to stay on topic. My G1 is the first HTC device I've ever owned and I've only discovered XDA since I've had it, and I think that because of the community involvement here and the custom roms that have come out, I will definitely lean towards another HTC phone when I look for my next upgrade, and it will definately be an android phone.

Also another thing to look at is the availability of the phones that are out to actual dev's. Unless people are donating phones, I doubt everyone can just run out and pick up all the latest devices, and network restrictions/preferences that come along with them.
[G1 General] xavier6303:
I think the easiest solution is as follows:

1. Find the dev you like best.

2. Find the phone you like best.

3. Buy phone you like best.

4. Buy/Create a donate link to get said dev the same phone.

Assuming said dev doesnt turn around and craigslist the phone you bought him/her, you have (hopefully) ensured said dev will migrate and develop on your favorite hardware.

Not the best solution but probably the most reliable. :)
[G1 General] cyanogen:
Seriously dude, are you going to diss me in every thread? What do you even contribute to this community? I've not received any patches or even logs of the "problems" you claim.
[G1 General] Eclipse9069:
For real.

Alec, you're like the little annoying brother that no one wants to be around.

Grow up, let your balls drop, and enjoy your phone, your life, and whatever rom you want.

But, you don't have to go around dissing well-respected devs.
[G1 General] AthlonBoy:
The Droid hasn't been out long enough for a community to gather around it. Many of the Android big names are waiting to get GSM versions before tinkering.

Also, remember that the HTC Dream was in circulation well before it launched last year. The Android development phone is identical to the Dream, with the only difference being some swish art on the back cover. The hardware and software were free-flowing long before it landed in our hands. In contrast, the Droid was a much more secretive launch; we've only just got Eclair source code, and the SDK was kept under wraps by a non-disclosure agreement (probably to conceal the nuclear bomb that is Google Maps Navigation).

I find the cracking of the Droid to be inevitable. The poor thing is going to be broken just as much as our Dreams were. Just give it time.

As for ROMs being available over a span of phones, I'm not sure that's even a good idea. Android variants like XROM, cyanogenmod, The Dude's ROM, yadda yadda... they're all about maximising the capabilities of the Dream. Not the Droid, the Dream. Adding in features that the hardware can support, changing CPU frequencies, Apps2SD, all that jazz. Droid ROMs will be built around adding in core features, like Apps2SD, and whatever else the Droid has tucked away. Likewise, speed optimisations may not be portable between phones, as what gives the Dream a boost may hinder the Droid.

For me, features of a ROM are not the best part of homebrew Android builds. The best part is being able to upgrade your phone outside of the carrier's say-so. If T-mobile have no plans to push Eclair to Dreams, I will install it myself. I am not tied down by the say-so of a room full of suits three thousand miles away. If T-mobile don't include an app that I like, such as the IM app or the Amazon MP3 store (which T-mobile UK don't), I can get ROMs with them myself. If a carrier would rather I didn't tether without paying for my bandwidth twice, I can do it anyway, so long as I'm not an idiot.

You may have guessed that I have a very dim view of cell carriers.

With root, we are free to do as we like. This is the real killer feature of homebrew, and the Droid will benefit from it too.

Anyway...

It seems dwang himself has a much higher opinion of the man than a certain other someone.
[G1 General] Pinesal:
You seem to have almost got my point but not quite. Of coarse DOID doesn't need Cyanogen MOD specifically. But would you buy an Android phone if there weren't a mod that lets it do the things that we are used to and have only become available by modding? Apps to SD, tethering, themeing?

Sure DROID might get all these things though a custom rom but we won't see it on this website. The problem is that things will get too spread out and hard to find with all these new hardware options.

What would be nice is a rom that works on nearly every Android device that just adds root access to the phone and some basic universal packages like A2SD and tethering etc. That way you can buy any Android device you want and still have these basic privileges.

Do you think something like that would be possible?
[G1 General] AthlonBoy:
Beats me, man. I'm not a developer. But I think it's unlikely.
