NO WAY!

I am making my money selling S60 apps, and carry an XPERIA for email and web surfing. S60 is good for portrait devices - the moment you go landscape, the 5 action buttons eat up approx 30% of the screen real estate (!!!).

Trust me. The device is overpriced, badly built, has a horrible keyboard and just sux. If you want S60, get an XM5800, OMNIA HD or maybe - dint handle yet - Satio.

I handled one, believe me - and it suxx for my usage. But read more here:

[G1 General] Abolfazl:
I installed a modded version of contacts.apk that allowed it to show the faces next to the contact's name. I did not like it that much so I removed it. Long story short I deleted the contacts.apk from /system/app and I copied the original contacts.apk back to /system/app. I rebooted and it still does not see Contacts.apk (Dialer/calling does not work) I also tried doing "install /sdcard/Contacts.apk /system/app/Contacts.apk" and it still did not recognize it.

What am I suppose to do? By the way I also have the original Contacts.apk in the root of my sdcard if that would help in you telling me the commands to run

Thanks in advance!!

Alright, for the past 3 Cyanogenmod roms that I have had (ever since donut)

I have a text messaging problem, where 30% of my texts come back with a "failure" regardless of which Sms app im using... and I keep resending it over and over again and it keeps returning the same failure... the only way to fix it is to reboot the phone

by then, I receive any incoming SMS as well that didnt make it through to my phone.

AND... on top of that... recipients are telling me that my so called failed texts are actually going through... and all my resends go through as well... so they will end up with multiple identical messages from me.

Heh, sorry...I had spent just about all my time this last week on XDA and needed to get some fresh air for a day.

I've used it however since the day it came out...there was a post a while ago about it in the development forums (the first day we got root ^_^) and it works great to flash the recovery image (CDMA version of Amon-RA's image...check it out in the development forums)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreddge:
I just bought it...out of sheer curiosity. It doesn't appear to be branded, but I don't think its an ADP.

Is his explanation accurate?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phatmanxxl:
probably custom painted it like colorware, called it a rare special edition to squeeze $225 out of a used G1.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
I doubt one for "google employees only" would come in a T-Mobile box... not sure if it is a ADP, since the graphics don't look the same... at least I have never seen it with the vertical lines like that, and just did a good amount of searching about 2 weeks ago when I bought my G1.

Price wise, you got a good deal if it is a 9.5/10 I have seen near perfect condition phones G1's go for $250+ not including shipping. Seen some real crap condition ones go for just over $200...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreddge:
Yea. It was only posted for a couple of hours before I snagged it. I felt like regardless if the Special Edition is BS, I got a good deal.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phatmanxxl:
Its always cool to have a one of a kind phone too, I loved my clear housing razr back in the day. As far as I know I was the only one in the world to have one. I also had a deep blue housing sidekick 3, it was pretty sharp too.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Looks like a regular G1 with an etched battery cover (or possibly just decaled).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kusotare:
Thats all it is. Juphro does it for people right here on the XDA forums for $27 USD and any design you want on any of the main battery door colors. I have one that matches my avatar.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
Don't they all have those glossy bits? Both of mine have.. Its just a custom battery cover as far as I can see.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreddge:
Its not etched...Its painted (at the very most). It also is Unbranded...

Look above the speaker...there is no T-Mobile logo. So I can confidently say its not just a regular G1...

From what I understand (after research) is that this is the phone that HTC/Google/Tmo employees were given as "demo" phones before the actual

G1 was dropped. Basically one to show off to would be consumers.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
Is it in your possession yet?

I'd be interested to know the hboot info if it's pre-g1.. might be something we've not come accross before.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreddge:
No. It shipped this morning from Cali (im in Arkansas).

It was shipped Priority so, I SHOULD have it by Saturday.

I'm not sure what the term hboot is (im still relatively new at modding)

EDIT: Hboot is like the PVT Board? The SPL correct?

If so, the wording in the auction sounded like he had it rooted, and put it back to stock. If it wasn't a SPL we are familiar with, wouldn't he have to flash the normal stock SPL? Again, if this is a n00b comment, im sorry. My last phone was an ADP1, and I only messed the SPL/Radio ONCE...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gospeed.racer:
could also be a replacement shell, as the one I ordered came with a glossy keyboard bezel and was unbranded in the speaker area.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreddge:
No...I thinks its a legitimately rare phone. I did some research on it. I think everything is stock on it, and they just released them as demo phones.

The only T-mobile branding I see in those pics is on the manuals...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
Yea, hboot=fastboot=spl depending on who you're talking to and what mood they're in :p

It'll be a shame if he has rooted it previously because that'll mean any unique firmware on it would be long gone, but on re-reading the auction I think you're probably right.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreddge:
Yea..Sucks! Oh well..Im curious to see if it is unlocked like an ADP.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~~Tito~~:
Look at the user manuals. :rolleyes:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kusotare:
By the way, I can definitively tell you that its not one of the G1s that TMO employees got before the official release for testing. I have one from when I worked for TMO. They look exactly the same as the regular G1. Also, toothpaste or very very light sanding can remove the TMO branding from the front casing without leaving a mark.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreddge:
Well...as stated before, regardless of whether or not it is, in fact, a "Special Edition", $225 for a G1 that is in good shape is still a decent buy.

I was watching them go $225-250 all night long.

Once I get the phone, I will check the model/serial # etc, and see what I can find out (if anything)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
Is that a google "holiday" phone?

It is definitely NOT tmobile in any way.

The stock bootloader on a holiday phone *looks* in every way like a G1 bootloader, but HAS FASTBOOT. In other words, it is exactly the same as the engineering bootloader for ADP1, but has the rainbow stripes instead of the skating androids.

Take a look here. Note the picture of the build number... "holiday_devphone".

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=485676

Regarding the back cover... could be custom. Might be normal for a holiday phone -- I've never actually seen one.

Also could be a bone stock ADP1 with a custom back cover. The rest of the "look" matches it perfectly.

Note: if the previous owner has changed any software, then there is no way to tell except to track it down by serial number -- and it doesn't make ANY difference. A DREAM is a DREAM. They're all the same.

Also FYI: The box and manual that say "G1" are NOT for that phone.

Oh, and just a minor point...

He says that he put it "back to factory settings". Sounds to me like he messed with it. Probably loaded some tmobile crap onto it in place of the stock ROOT image. Hopefully it has the stock bootloader -- in which case you can just fastboot anything you like. Be sure to try that BEFORE you go RC29'ing it. Remember that regardless of rainbow screen and bootloader version code, it *probably* has a fully functional fastboot.

Also note: "back to factory settings" may also just mean that he wiped the userdata, so boot it up and check the build screen. If it says "holiday_devphone", then you can adb shell root, nothing weird required.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreddge:
So, I have a question (coming from an ADP1). What would happen if I tried to flash a ROM to the phone and it is a basic stock phone? Will it even allow me to do anything.

So, I guess the question is, how can I tell when I get it what I can and cant do with it. I know this sounds way n00bish...but since I had an ADP1 before, I didn't even have to think about this.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anartic:
When you get the phone the first thing you should do is pop out the battery cover and see if the phone has its void sticker.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreddge:
Well guys,

Mail just run, and no phone today.

It should be here Monday. When I get it, I will post build, SPL, Model #, and Serial #. My personal opinion is that it is an ADP of some sort.

Anyhow, Ill talk to you guys then.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreddge:
Ok guys...im even more confused now than I was.

I boot the phone up, and the first thing I see is the green android boot screen instead of the TMO splash, so im thinking ADP1 right? Then the 2nd boot screen comes up and it says Android and has the reflection animation.

It boots up and it recognizes my SIM card. So even though the seller assured me it was NETWORK LOCKED, it wasn't.

I rebooted holding the home key and got the phone with an exclamation point.

I rebooted holding camera, and it looks like a regular PVT board.

So, What do you think guys? Is it an ADP?

I could have sworn my last ADP had a stock Recovery console...am I right? So I should just be able to follow to the STOCK TO Cyanogen thread (save the reverting back to RC29.

I should just be able to slap CM recovery on it, put hardSPL on it, flash signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip, flash CM and profit?

Im sure this is the case, but I would love some back up here.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
That actually looks like a modded G1 over a modded ADP

The Green android was probably there because it wasnt network branded/locked

Its probably not adp because it also has the stock bootloader vs. the engineering one.

You probably wont be able to use flash cm recovery as you will need root (u can try flashing a custom build, but if its not adp, the test keys wont match the ota's, so the recovery will not flash the image) the adp recovery simply looks like the stock recovery. however, it has the ability to flash test keys vs. just the ota keys like the stock recovery.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreddge:
I thought back to when my ADP1 lost root (with the cupcake update). I simply flashed Harry_m's kernel update to gain root.

I tried it last night, and gained root again. I then flashed CM recovery image, HardSPL, and CM 4.2.4.

Took me maybe 10 minutes to get everything in line. This phone behaves like an ADP1.

I believe (by looking at the date on the PVT board), that this was a pre-release demo phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
I'm still pretty sure that it is a holiday phone.

Clearly, it HAS been messed with.

Doesn't matter one way or another though... if there's no root and no fastboot, use the RC29 trick as if it were a stock tmobile branded device and then write the engineering bootloader to it and treat it like an ADP1.

So will you able to clarify some things for me..?..It states that this is a "one click root method"..I watched the video for the GSM Hero and all he did was download the flashrec apk and custom recovery image..And then he ran the flashrec apk on the phone applied the image...So with this we do not need adb,and won't have to run cmd and type in all the commands?..Is that correct?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kamar234:
I have been following the unlock instructions on these posts on how to unlock the Hero, but I am having some trouble. When to comes to making the adb shell, it just doesn't do it. It shows a dollar sign and says that the request is denied. I just don't get what I'm doing wrong. Are there extra steps for me because there are x86 files? If I have to put the android sdk into the program files x86 folder, how would I enter that into the commander? Any help would be appreciated guys, this is driving me crazy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
OK so you get to the dollar sign. What do you do then?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] simplyphp:
Just extract the sdk so its a folder. Then go to Start->Run-> type cmd.exe in the box that opens. Now navigate to where you extracted the sdk folder. If you extracted it straight onto the c:\ drive at top level, you'd do something like this:

cd c:\android-sdk\tools

That will get you into the directory that has adb.exe

Now follow the instructions in the "how to root" thread.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kamar234:
I can get down to the point where I execute the adp push and all the lines come up saying that the adp is restarted and there is obviously a command that is executed.

adb shell

chmod 0755 /data/local/asroot2

this part is when it says access is denied. I follow everything perfectly, but I just don't get it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
Oh, easy.

Type "su" and hit enter.

The dollar sign prompt indicates you are running as a regular user. Run su and it will give you a # prompt indicating you are running as root.

Then do the chmod.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kamar234:
It specifically says after entering this line

/data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh

system cannot find the path specified. Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kamar234:
so when the dollar sign comes up, just type su and hit enter, that's it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] simplyphp:
Are you sure the asroot2 file has been copied over to your phone? What I did is extract asroot2 into the tools folder, so that I could just say adb push asroot2 /data/local/

My suggestion is to make sure the file is in /data/local/

Also, here is the full thing taken from the other thread:

adb push /directory_you_placed_asroot2/asroot2 /data/local/
adb shell
chmod 0755 /data/local/asroot2
/data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/bin
cat sh > su
chmod 4755 su
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kamar234:
Yup, I put it in the tool folder within the android sdk. I am using the 1.5 sdk as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kamar234:
I just really can't understand what I'm doing wrong
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
Do:

ls -al /data/local

Do you see asroot there?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kamar234:
it says not found. I entered it by the dollar sign
[Hero CDMA Android Development] simplyphp:
That means the file isn't copied over. You need to do the adb push line again, and make sure it copies the file over.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kamar234:
how do I do that? Is there a something that it does or says to let you know it has copied over?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] simplyphp:
The first line here:

adb push /directory_you_placed_asroot2/asroot2 /data/local/

That puts the asroot2 file into your phone's /data/local/ directory.

This line gets you into your phone's shell:

adb shell

AT THIS POINT, you should see a $ dollar sign. This means you are in your phone.

This line will let you check that asroot2 has been copied over:

ls -al /data/local

This line gives the file you just copied over, permission to execute/run:

chmod 0755 /data/local/asroot2

This line runs the file you copied over:

/data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh

This line mounts your file system on your phone as writable:

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kamar234:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] PySikE:
Hi, I decided to open this thread since I'm a bit disspointed with the new WM 6.5 and 6.5.1 ROMs for the Diamond and I would like to hear your pros and cons

As we know, there's not WM 6.5 official version for the HTC Diamond, that is a shame because the phone is not old!

Thanks to all of this programmers or "cookers" on this website we are able to run it, since is our wish, but we are warned of the downsides.

I flashed all the ROMs available, WM 6.1, 6.5 and 6.5.1 ...to be honest... 6.1 is well stable and fast, 6.5 looks nice and is amazing but is laggy and at the end of they day it always end up closing the program you are using if it runs out of memory, that is annoying if you are watching a video on youtube or checking the email right?

I used 6.5 for a month and I was really into it beause "it works", but with regret I went back to 6.1 due to the lack of memory and optimization for the device.

What is your experience so far with it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] CSMR:
Normally I much prefer official ROMs to cooked, which can be slow and unreliable. But I do want WM6.5. Maybe it's a matter of finding the right ROM.

Is there one available now (WM6.5, stable, bug free, not bloated) or should I wait? (This is something that will only be done once if at all.)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] PySikE:
You can wait for a while, or flash all the available 6.5 ROMs and judge by yourself (I can't be bothered with the MTTY thing)

Personally, at the moment any of them don't perform quick and stable like 6.1 do
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bevoc:
you might want to run benchmark tests

all benchmarking i did shown an increasse in performance in wm6.5.1 cooked roms in diamonds compared to stock rom.

cooked a rom and wm6.5.1 is better than 6.1 in terms of memory management and speed.

just cook your own rom and put in/remove stuff you dont like and optimize it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] VerusAmos:
Try these! (I did...) =)

Long have I've been a pro 6.1 user, but I always thought 6.5 looked more neat but with too many conn's to be actually everyday useable. Besides, AZTOR x2 ROM rocked! Also a lot of 6.5 ROM's didn't have any Diamond functionality.

Lately I've been trying 6.5.x ROM's again and currently I'm very pleased with Benko's ROM. It takes only 80Mb RAM max (Full ROM). He cooked lighter versions too, that even take less RAM. Also the ROM is fast, like really REALLY FAST, great responsiveness. Scrolling like the iPhone. Also very finger friendly.

I think if you want to consider 6.5 ROM's Benko is definitely a good candidate. I would recommend his 5.0 ROM to start with because I believe that's the most stable ROM.

Eugenia V1.02 WWE ROM is also a nice looking ROM with diamond features
