ok so i had manups, 2.0 rom, then i wanted to go back to cyans rom because it's faster and camera and ect ect ect. i have unrooted and re-rooted, but depending on which of the 1.6 donut roms i flash before cyans rom. i either don't have market, have the market with tmobile instead of downloads tab, or get the market i need but then get some sort of error force close googlecom.gapps something that won't let me download from the market. I'm effing fed up with this. nothing on here has been easy in a long while, and it's annoying. i would really like some help on this please, otherwise i'll have to switch to a better platform...ugh...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Do you need the new market?

Don't blame the platform blame the user because there are a lot of people that try to make this easy, but people don't follow the directions.

You say there is an error with no logcat, so we can't help you with that. (something is not the error message)

You don't need to unroot, just wipe before you flash.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
People like that should switch to a different platform, perhaps Moto RAZR would work a lot better for OP.

To sum it up, if you read and follow directions - you will not have any problems.

You do not need to unroot and reroot before applying a rom.

With Cyan's roms, all you need to do is wipe, re-format sd, install base room (HTC 1.6) and and the Cyan's rom of your choice. After that that initial hassle, you can just upgrade as usual.

Good luck

that you can enable some hidden games, and I really like those games :P but I can't seem to enable them! can anyone get me on the right track?
[HD2 General] geekyhawkes:
You need to give more of a clue as to what part you are finding difficult!

If you go to file explorer you should be able to browse to the windows directory on your device and then copy the games you are after using a long insert on the screen.

Navigate to the startmenu folder and then long insert on the screen and select paste as shortcut and all shoul be well.

Hope this helps.
[HD2 General] optiknerv:
You should have asked in that thread. Its a case of browsing to the .exe in the windows folder. Long press on it then copy. Go to \windows\start menu\programs\games. long press in blank spave and paste shortcut.
[HD2 General] mndl632:
read the hints and tips thread. The very first tip tells you how to get them showing in the games folder
[HD2 General] nutmegy:
mmmm i was just about to say a similar thing...
[HD2 General] Orpheo:
To ask in the other thread didn't seem appropriate for some reason...

ah, sorry, I see it now.

1 more question though... I found the files, and I made quick links to them, somewhere easily reachable in the finder. how can I get my phone to see those files in the games-directory? to put it another way: when I hit the 'games' button in the start-menu, I want to see those 2 games too... any pointers?
[HD2 General] nutmegy:
copy the quick links into

Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Games

and there you go
[HD2 General] mndl632:
you need to use a program like resco file manager or total commander and change the file properties to unhide them, so they will appear in the games folder, otherwise they will be in the folder but hidden.

I have changed my system fonts, like thousands of times before. Sometimes I get some troubles with calculator because it didnt show some characters on it, then I used to edit and complete the font with a font editor.

Does anybody have idea of why?

Hi

BTW im using win 7 32bit ultimate

I have an 80gb western digital ide hard drive that works fine, but i need more space. So a relative sent me a western digital 320gb sata hard drive. So i downloaded a program to clone the whole hdd to the 320gb one Simplez! done. Booted it up. 5 mins later.... log on screen. 5mins later.... part loaded. And i thought... THIS IS REALLY SLOW!!! it only usely takes 40sec-1mins to get to logon screen and the same to get to the desktop.

so i re formated and downloaded paragon partition manager to migrate and it keeps poping up and saying I/O Error, retry or ignore. retry. poped up again I/O error.

so i quited.

Whats an i/o error and why cant i do the job properly?

BTW: the sata connection on the hdd is broken a bit but my relative has run test and said it works fine and i have no problem using it with my 80gb hdd.

thanks

flyboy

PC spec below:

oh and i have 3gb ddr2 1066 ram
[Off-topic] Jeeves:
I/O = Input/Output, so the error means it can't read or write to the drive properly. This is typically a dodgy connector or errors in the filesystem. Run "chkdsk -f" to see if its filesystem, otherwise it sounds like the HDD's no good.
[Off-topic] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
probably connectors not the HDD!!

oh and download HIRENS BOOT CD --- it has all the tools you need to format, partition, etc and more- for hard drive and system -- burn it it in a cd so its bootable, then restart your pc with the disc in cd-drive, then it boot Hirens Boot CD and you have all the tools you need... - there are also some testing tools for HDDs :)
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
thanks guys will try 2nite and tell u!

flyboy
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
i tryed the hirens boot cd and used partition manager included. Some reason it didnt copy the hard drive. Went through chkdsk then started copying then it said there was nothing on the hdd!

Whats going on there then?

flyboy
[Off-topic] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
If it says theres nothing on it - then maybe you've accidentally formated it...

try again - with some other program on the HBcd
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
ok il try again but..

I dont like to say this but....

i might take it to a place to do it.

du think its worth it?

flyboy
[Off-topic] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
If you want to keep your files - then yea it is worth it... cause I myself lost my all my file on my HDD 3 times until I learned how to properly manage partitions on my HDD....

It takes time to get to know how the stuff works (stuff thats on the Hiirens Boot CD) and If you dont knowhow to use it then you have a big chance to mess something up ... I suggest you try it when all your needed files are backed up, in case you lose you HDD ... :)
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
Just one more thing..

Why is it so HARD to copy one hdd to another!!!

WHY?!?!?!?!

should be easy!!!!!!!

Ok so I've been reading about the 10 mb hack and i wanted to know a few things. If i do a BART backup before i apply the 10 mb hack do i just restore from my BART backup to undo ithe 10 mb hack? And should i undo it before switching to other roms such as hero?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
The ram hack is part of the boot.img, every rom has that so when you flash it it will write that image.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcp2009:
so every time i flash a new rom the hack will be erased is what your saying? now what if i just want to reverse it?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Like I said, it's in the boot.img. Just reflash (with fastboot) the original boot.img from the rom you wanted.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Or reflash the rom that you're on. That will do it too, no wipe necessary.

I cannot believe how difficult it has been to find a solution to this problem.

My, seemingly basic, need is to use the internal gps of my fuze as an external gps on my laptop. I already have my laptop teathered to my phone over a bluetooth PAN and use this as my primary internet connection seeing as I live out of my truck.

I have found GPS2Blue which seems like it was made for exactly what I need, but I can't get it to work and there are virtually no instructions provided. I have seen other people say they got it to work, but without explanation.

I have also found GPSProxy, which claims to do what I need but isn't free. I would be willing to pay for this solution, but their instructions say you can't share your GPS and also have other bluetooth activity, which means my internet connection would go down.

I think, but am unsure, that the heart of my problem is that I need to "Create Outgoing Port" on the Com Ports page of the Bluetooth settings page. However, there is no such buttton on that screen.

Can anyone please help if you have successfully shared your Raphael internal GPS with a laptop over bluetooth.

Thanks

Hi I've searched the forums to the best of my ability, and cant figure out how to install a system app. I pulled the app (Via ADB Pull) and tried to push it back into /system/app and it works, but never installs? And i cant find it with astro or other software. =( Im using a G1 with Cyan, If you need more information please tell me!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Pushing does install. It doesn't have the install text like adb install does, but that is how you push files so it should work.

You could check to see if you have it set as read only, or delete the file then copy over the new one.

System partition is read-only by default, you need to change it to read-write if you want to install or push anything to it. I can never remember commands but they are all over this forum.

Hi All,

Having trouble with my G1 (see my post below). The only remedy I see is to get past the opening tmobile Google sign up and get to the real home screen. From there...

I tried to do it through wifi but I don't have an att data plan or an unlocking code for my ATT SIM. (I did put ATT APN settings)

THoughts appreciated?

Regards, PK

BTW, why are my posts not in bold?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Your posts are not in bold until you have new reply to it.

Why would you need att plan to use your wi-fi? That part I don't get but neverless

You will need to get that unlock code to use your att sim card, there's no way around it, period.

If you want to use your phone on wi-fi with no sim card and you have root access then you can just go to this thread and follow the directions. If you don't have root access then then you need to downgrade to RC29 (using DREAIMG.nbh) and then follow the info in this thread. After it's all said and done you can either wait for OTA of the official 1.6 Donut or you can root and install the rom of your choice.

Good luck
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pk2:
very good, Thanks,

I did a successfully flash (I believe, sorta,... "bla, bla installation succesfull") with R29 DREAIMG.nbh from unlockr" .com" I say I believe because the only way I can tell is I can type in return, reboot,return and it reboots +it's a whole new opening screen with the Google runaround . The iffy part of "sorta...sucsesfull" of the flash is, I no longer have any access to any SD card and no ability to sync with PC.

As to unlocking the SIM card, no doubt, It will have to be done. Of the some 25 odd android websites I've been pouring over, theres no definitive statements as to just when in the process it should be done. I also don't know which of these guys are reputable Given my track record of half bricking this thing with my first flash, I'm going forward with a good dose of timidity. I'll take your comment as a go.

As far as wifi Google registration with out SIM card, I appreciate the link. I'll have to study it more but, I can't link to to my P.C. right now. I futzed with everything & follow instructions & prescriptions from everywhere for everything: adb, loaded new usb drivers, HTC drivers, android SDK-3, HTC sync (with supposedly corrected vista HTC drivers), Droid explorer, etc all day till 2 in the morning and the phone just isn't "taking calls", (or Sd's for that matter). But I'll keep trying.

Anyway thanks again for the straightening me out and the links.

Regards, PK

P.S. You can safely assume I tried everything every-which- way to get it to read SD's, that rebooting PC and the phone reformatting SD's, trying different capacities, buying another virgin card, popping the battery in and out,,, all a zillion times. Same goes for syncing. NADA.

Well the problem i have, well i guess its more of a preference, is that when im in HTC Threaded messages view and I recieve a new txt message it wont vibrate or anything, the message will just pop up. But it does do so when still in the windows mobile threaded messages view.

So my question is, is there a way to make it vibe when I receive a new txt message while still in the HTC Messages view?

Well I've been having all kinds of odd problems over the last few days. My ROM image disappeared, my phone formatted itself shortly before that and now files and whole folders are corrupting every few hours. I can't install anything, my list of installed programs has gone, and one app at a time is becoming corrupt. The whole start menu looks like ..[]OÉ![]%. PPCPimBackup barely works at all on a large restore... basically everything seems buggered and it re-imaging doesn't help.

Is my flash storage corrupt? Does anyone know a way to test it? I bought the phone in October 2008 in the UK, so it should be covered under the EU's 2 year guarantee for electronics law.

Can anyone help me out?

I have had my Kaiser for over two years now and have used it on a daily basis for all kinds of tasks. It has not let me down so far. I have looked at other phones, such as the touch pro 2 and Omnia 2, but I can't think of a good reason for replacing my Kaiser. Its simply a great phone - built like a brick **** house (as we say in the UK) and packed with useful features. Its the best phone I have ever owned.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
Good phone, shame about aspects of the company

I still use mine daily and it was delivered on 1 Oct 2007 so I have much the same view about the device, not the company though. I tried the WM 6.1 updates and went back due to bugs and broken GPS (which they still didn't address in the newer WM 6.1 upgrade). I also hate the fact HTC didn't include proper video drivers to use the onboard GPU hardware acceleration (and didn't listen when loads of people complained - a patch to speed up screen orientation changes is not the same as proper drivers to give better video playback and snappy GUI functioning). They also tried to deny the phone even had the hardware to perform grapics acceleration. These are reasons why I wont buy another HTC device - especially given there's no easy way to tell if they've done the same thing again to penny pinch on drivers with newer models. This behaviour and the fact I never received replies to my letters about it sent special delivery to the regional company manager, left a very bad taste in my mouth about the company.

I tried to love the kaiser for a year, but in the end I hated the thing. Slow, bulky, terrible OS, poor screen, awful keyboard, dire video and multimedia, barely usable camera, it simply does nothing well. I kept it on purely as a TomTom in the car, but it's not even much cop at that, especially with the 6.1 ROM which - as Flying Kiwi points out - ruined the GPS.

I'm thankful to it for one thing - it convinced me that Windows Mobile was a dead platform and I should give the iPhone a shot. 14 months later that's still the best phone/pocket computer I ever owned.

manila 2.5 on raph is slow:( but 2.1 got some bugs i ve tested over 10 roms in past week and everyone has some bad issues

is it possible to cook both manilas in one rom?

and i as a user could change it in items (today options)?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Solarenemy68:
The problem is that 2.5 is not intended for the Raph. 2.5 was ported over from the Pure which has a 1Ghz processor while the Raph is around 500 mhz. half the speed trying to run the same system and you can see why it is slow and sluggish. There is no way to make 2.5 run better on the raph due to it's hardware limitation.
