Well, the story goes like this:

Bought a g1 and the second logical step was to put in cyanogen. After a while I thought that an unlocked phone would be even better. Went online and purchased the unlock code and tried to use it while running cyanogen. Did not work. Flashed to rc29, tried again, did not work. Then I went to another unlock provider and this guy, gave me the same code as the first, based on my IMEI ( I don't have a fake IMEI), he tried it as well and did not work. Then he searched for different version of the code based on the IMEI for different htc products ( it seems that they have some accounts with htc and for IMEI they receive the unlock code). We also tried it with a goldcard which only made my g1 scream that I don't have a simcard inside.

Bottom line, did cyanogen mood do something to the unlock procedure ( hard locked the phone on tmobile - on tmobile the phone works fine) ? Or I just happened to have a weird phone, Thank you.

Btw, my unlock code is 92179512. Feel free to try it. It would be funny as hell if it were to unlock someone elses phone, and if it does, let me know as well.
[G1 General] kusotare:
I unlocked my phone on a MUCH older version of CM, so I wouldnt be able to tell you if anything has changed to effect the process. However, if you're a TMO customer, you do know that after 90 days they will GIVE you the unlock code for free, right?
[G1 General] phuKKah:
I also have unlocked it on Cyanogen mod, but I believe I was on 4.2.7.1 at the time.... not that long ago really.... but T-Mobile does indeed give away the unlock code for free, and it worked flawlessly.
[G1 General] AdrianK:
Neither the ROM, SPL or radio can effect the simlock. It's not Cy's ROM that's causing the problem...

What do you mean 'it doesn't work'? Does the phone reject the code?
[G1 General] cmcx_linux:
Thank you for the reply. Well the problem is that I don't have a contract with Tmobile since I don't have the money for it. I bought it off from someone and used Tmobile prepaid sim card, which works fine. And, because of that, Tmobile won't provide me with an unlock code :) .

Regarding the code, when I type in the code it says network unlock unsuccessful, so I can't do much about it. I'm trying to update to the latest stock donut and see what happens.
[G1 General] AdrianK:
Ah that sucks :-( I really can't of any options for you, since any codes generated will always be the same...
[G1 General] ohgood:
nope -

notice in the replies above, that cyanogen nor spl, nor anything software related can change your unlock status.

you already have an unlock code, and since you've had it generated from two different sources, i believe that code is correct for THAT IMEI number. that being said, did you copy the imei number from the sticker on the inside, or from what the phone shows in "PHONE INFO" ? I'd make sure they both match.

i also have a phone that is flacky about SIMs. haven't found an explanation yet, I think some of the boards have bad solder joints, or there is another hardware problem that causes similar errors. no proof yet. :)

try a friends Tmo sim card, and if his is recognized, and allows data connection, you'll know it's your phone that is locked, and that all the hardware is working. i'll bet you entered the wrong code because the sticker inside was wrong, or you fat fingered it. just a guess.

good luck, please update the thread when/if you find a definite answer. :)
[G1 General] pjcforpres:
I would bet the IMEI on the sticker and on the board are different... where did you buy said phone and for how much? It could very well be a refurb, which will have bits and pieces from several different phones, and thus could have the SIM locked guts for phone 666 and the case from phone 888 type thing.
[G1 General] cmcx_linux:
Yep, checked it 10 times the first time I bought the code online. The same imei in about this phone is on the sticker. After I saw it did not work, I went to a local unlock shop around my place and the guy there checked it again more than 6 times. So.. weird eh? And both guys got the same code from HTC based on that IMEI
[G1 General] rjgonza:
Sounds like this may be a hardware error. If that is the unlock that is generated then it should just work. The unlock does not really pertain to the rom or anything else that people usually mod. Also, maybe ask that dude why he was giving up that phone, maybe there is really something wrong with it.
[G1 General] MasterCATZ:
the only other thing left is get an turbo unlocker chip that sits between SIM and phone

pain in ass to install but I have done it with out cutting the SIM card

I am guessing someone had typed the code in incorectly .. they can be permiatly locked if wrong code has been entered

also just because it was another person does not mean their MEI source wasn't the same :P

I guess they worked out they work ,,, I payed $5 for mine .. now 4x the price

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEXT-SIM-TUR...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item4cec3cab8c
[G1 General] phonexpert_alex:
The unlock codes sources are all the same. I lost over 100$ trying to get unlock codes from them but 80% of them don't work (only the ones for htc phones). I use a turbo sim with my G1 and is really easy to install. just buy one and cut your sim where the CHIP from the turbo sim is located. It works flawlessly.
[G1 General] h1p1n3:
Im just throwing this out there to say that I was able to successfully unlock my g1 with CM 4.2.10.1

Other than that I would just be repeating what was already said if I was to give any advice.

Best of luck man.
[G1 General] jeffrimerman:
If you live close to pasadena

You're welcome to try it with my sim card. But you're probably far far away.
[G1 General] texasaggie1:
tmo will give out unlock code

Actually, they will give you an unlock code after 90 days of being a customer and every 90 after the last time you got an unlock code. They will give you an unlock code the same day you buy the phone if you meet those requirements.
[G1 General] dshyang50:
Sorry if this is irrelevant to the rest of the thread, but assuming I unlock on JF 1.5 (yea I'm behind) to ATT, and wipe everything to install a HeroUI ROM of some sort, will the unlock still be in effect or will I need to unlock the phone again?

Thanks.
[G1 General] h1p1n3:
You'll be ok.

I actually like JUST did it on a coworkers(I admit, going from WiMo to Android is a learning curve, but its easy), he got his from craigslist, had JF 1.5 on it. He used it for like a week, complained about sluggishness (he did have like 20 apps constantly running) Anyway, after a few beers and lurking here (it was when I was deciding what HTC to get) we decided to go to CM (latest build). Everything went fine step by step.

I cannot vouch for your particular ROM but for CM it was fine.

What I'm about to say is going to stir up a bit of controversy, but Android lacks any sort of good music app. Someone should try to replicate the iPhones Music player UI as best as possible.
[G1 Apps and Games] mrnv45:
man i tried so many times but no developers wanna go that route of duplicating..

so i tried something way different then hero..g1...iphone..

i havent seen one like this..

even if i can trade services/applications (mobile or computer) or something to get atleast a music app for me created lol.. that would be sweet!!!

Well i dont own a G1 anymore..i now have a cliq

On my old G1 i never got to use earphones because it didnt support the 3.5mm....on the cliq it does! I love it buttt one huge thing is the quality of the sound. I have Bose earphones...they sound really great on my iPod and other MP3's but not on the cliq. The EQ is really nasty..so aanyways my questions are

Is this only on the cliq?

Is it possible to change the EQ at all?

Can someone please make an APP with this feature?

If this CANT be done, then why not?

Hope someone replies :)

thank you and long live ANDROID!
[G1 Apps and Games] H@OBouget:
While your proposed layout looks great, that text is so small that there is not even any point of putting the info on there.

Basically you can get 8 lines of usable text with enough buffer around the words to act as buttons.

In your track list pic you are running 14 lines.

That's like a 10 point font change. And I think the phone's default is like 8 point font.

A lot of the functions you are showing are similar to Tunewiki.

And Tune wiki comes with last.fm built in. Has a built in widget. Not to mention the ability to interface with Flyscreen.

What would your player bring to the table that is new or different other than the basic look?

I've been saying this from day one. Say what you will about apple or whatever. but they got their iphone/itouch music UI right.

and as far as the text its just an idea not really much one needed just a feature of marquee type scrollin...

post?

when you post this are you going to post it as a flash update.zip kinda of change or do we just download the apk cant wait till the post
[G1 Apps and Games] mrnv45:
i dont know how to do the update.. but if everything goes down smooth and i can get this up and goin..

1. IT WILL HAVE A LONG PRESS MENU.. most MENU settings will be similar to original music player..

2. it will be a app in the market...and a .apk to install in here...and if anyone knows or needs it in a .update i guess i can find someone to sign it in there and ill load it..

**only if i can find a developer who is interested in makin a music player app**
[G1 Apps and Games] Freedomcaller:
yeah i worte my player with the intention of making it capable of doing that, as well as adding songs to the current playlist. it makes the initial writing a bit more complex but real pays off :D
[G1 Apps and Games] Amdathlonuk:
Off topic slightly, but yes there is an equaliser it is VERY VERY good and really works.

You can even change the volume level for each channel separately.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Tremayne024:
I fail miserably at creating apps for Windows Mobile, but I'm willing to suggest concepts and whatnot.

That's where this thread comes in.

With some Windows Mobile devices, you only have the choice of either showing the battery life, or showing the clock. I think it's a bit of a hassle to have to navigate through a whole bunch of menus just to see how much life you have left in your battery. So, if a developer could create a program that could allow you to switch from either the battery meter or the time by tapping the icon, or even periodically changing on it's own, it would greatly help out other's with this concern.

If a thread similar to this already exists, by all means, trash it or point me in the right direction.

Hey I have an the magic 32A hardware with firmware 1.5 installed. I want to load a custom 1.6 Donut Rooted or any other great ROMS that you can suggest. I am having difficulty installing I have looked through other threads followed instructions but still having problems. I tried renaming the file to update pressed home and power and get this E:/ cache error of some sort.

Is there any other ways to installing custom roms and with details on how to install it would be much appreciated thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] rickytenzer:
If I'm not mistaken, home + power only works if you've flashed a recovery ROM, such as Amon_RA's latest 1.5.2H.

If you're just starting off, I would recommend just using fastboot. Download the 1.5.2H recovery ROM, put it in Android SDK/tools, open up command prompt, browse to your Android SDK/tools directory where fastboot is located, press home + back on phone and type "fastboot boot _____.img" (whatever the file is called) in command prompt

That will get you into the recovery ROM. From there, you would need the files on your SD card that you want to flash. The instructions are quite simple from then on.

Or, you could follow instructions on how to flash the recovery ROM such that home + power will boot directly to that ROM without having to fastboot it every time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] icemasterj88:
Do you know where to find the 1.5.2h recovery rom I searched google couldnt find anything.

should androidsdk/tools just be located on C:/ ??

thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] rickytenzer:
You have to download the Android SDK from here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

During the install, you choose where you want it to be installed. I would go straight to C:\

As for the recovery ROM, you can find it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=530492

Remember, go for the H version, not the G. H is for HTC and G is for Google branded. You have the HTC version as you have a Rogers HTC Magic.

[HD2 General] drkalo:
My HD2 is currently set to Bulgarian regional settings so it can display Cyrillic fonts correctly (that concerns also subtitles in TCPMP). This surely affects the home screen date format and for unknown reason it doesn't want to display it in dd.MM.yy (19.12.09) format, instead it shows something different that exceeds the borders of the date field as you can see in the screenshot (translated it says "Saturday, December 19"). Is there a way to force it to use dd.MM.yy?

On the second screenshots you can see my date format settings.

Regional settings - Bulgarian

Date format on homescreen: dd/MM/yyyy

I also want to change the date format on my home screen, but I'm not able to do it. My date shows ma 4 jan (Dutch ROM). Whatever I change in the regional settings, f.i. d/m/y, it still says ma 4 jan, without the year. I want it to say: 4-1-2010. Does anyone know how to do that in a Dutch (1.48) ROM? HD tweak used to do that trick on the HD but no on the HD2 anymore. Any help appreciated!!
[HD2 General] kuzibri:
where did you get/find the 'r' in the date formats. I cannot find them anywhere.
[HD2 General] drkalo:
That's automatically done when you select 'Bulgaria" in the region tab in regional settings and it appends after the number for the year. It is actually an abbreviation for the bulgarian word for "year" and does not interfere with the date format. Same thing is for the currency.
[HD2 General] kuzibri:

[HD2 General] ultimate_technologies:
Can somebody post here the solution, because the other thread is gone.

Thank you in advance.
[HD2 General] drkalo:
Make sure your Manila version is 2.5. You need to find and edit the file 2c89bd29_manila, located in Windows folder. First, backup the file in case you want to restore it later.

1. Copy that file on your desktop PC.

2. Open it with a text editor like notepad.

3. Find the text IDS_DATEFORMAT. There is <source>ddd, MMM d</source> after that. Change it to your taste.

You can edit the IDS_DATEFORMAT_SMALLVIEW as well, if you need to change the way date appears when you slide up at the homescreen.

4. Save the modified file as a text file and then remove the txt extension so it would look like the original 2c89bd29_manila.

5. Copy back the modified file to your Windows folder.

6. Soft reset

To access your Windows/ROM files you need to use a file manager like Resco explorer or Total Commander.
