i didn't mean specificly his post. i ment more generally. since it appears that i'm the only one reading this forum. however it might be related to the age of the blueangels. since they're so old nobody uses them anymore. ergo, no help with issues.

EDIT: i was thinking of buying a new one since mine died. but when the is no "fanbase" so to speak, its qute a waste of money.

LED light orange color but nothing more. Device is off and cannot turn it to WM. I heard there is hardware hack that allow to use BA on cable but you must connect 3 pins that really connects to battery
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Chef_Tony:
i feel a bit offended, since on the last 10 pages in each section of the blueangel subforum, there is practically no post, that i didn't read, in fact, if you had a look at some threads, you would see, that most of the last posts in those threads are solutions, offered by either me or egzthunder, which is why i have 600 posts. actually, there is no issue going unsolved here, and you will see there are a lot of very active members here.

sorry that this was not a very constructive post.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] ares93:
if i offended you i apoligize. however i haven't seen you anyware else then the upgrade and wm6 subforum. just to point out what i mean, my thread was the first for nearly a month without posts. so it looked like the blueangel subforum was pretty much dead.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Chef_Tony:
that is true, actually. the blueangel accessories sction is not frequently used as well. you see, most people don't come here very frequently, just to check for new roms, so they visit the wm6 section, when something goes wrong while upgrading to those roms, they post in upgrading, there are hardly any general blueangel issues these days, or people in need of wm2003 support. also there are no new accessories coming out. also, since a general questions and answers thread is also to be found in the wm6 section, most people come there for problems.

but you are right, it seems, these days most people just come for the roms and how to get them flashed, and hardly anyone really appreciates the device itself. many people left the blueangel section to go on to the universal of one of the new devices. there was a thread "do you still use your blueangel (as a phone)" some months ago, that als showed that many people moved on and just have the blueangel to play around with.

also, now that i think i fully understood the intention behind your last post, there really was no reason to be offended, it was obviously due to a misscommunication.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] ares93:
the thing is that the blueangel is still a very competitive unit. too bad nobody uses the anymore. and i think i'll just copy paste my thread to the upgrading forum, maybe i'll have more luck there. since i died just minutes before being flashed to wm6.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Chef_Tony:
that is true, maybe some hardware aspects are outdated, like qvga, wi-fi B only (also no newer encryptions) and it lacks G-Sensor, GPS and other gadgets, but it is a solid pda, a great phone, and since the software is always up to date, you can still make fun of people with an iphone for spending hundreds while our device is better in many ways and just costs 50
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mesaj:
BlueAngel for his year of production is awesome and still hangs medium level in all other phones. I think much of them are dead and there's not much owners of it. I am using Universal too and it's not best at all but i like it. I think it depends of how much you like this phone not functions or whatever. Classics are always good.

Okay. Anyone know is it really posssible to turn it on when battery isn't inside? And something about in post #5?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] ares93:
sorry mate, didnt mean to hijack your thread :-) anyways if you have one of those transformators. you know, the one you use in chemistry or physics. you connect it to 230 or 110v and you can set the voltage and ampere. simply hook it up to the unit. the thing they use in CSI to resurrect dead phones. :-)

Hey guys...

I recently lost my mp3 player and decided to start using my G1 as a full time mp3 player. I've been running the latest CyanogenMod ROMs.. with ext3 and ext4 partitions on sd.

Wondering if there's a guide out there to upgrade SD card while retaining the state of the phone. I'm moving from a 2Gb card to a 16Gb card (for more music capacity)...

If there's a thread for this already out there.. I couldn't find it..

Thanks!

this should be in Q&A section, not development. All you need to do is partition your new sdcard and then backup your old one and copy over anything you want to keep and put in the new one. you can use Estrongs File Explorer (free in market) to backup all your apps from the ext partition of your old sdcard, then you can copy them over to your new sd card and install them all right back.

thanks for telleing me the stepps exactly as soon as possible
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Please post these types of queries in the Flashing Guide thread.

Essentially though the spl and your rom need to match, if you have the wrong spl for the rom you are using, you'll get the green screen.

You say that all was working well on the French rom and then you suddenly got a green screen, or have you had it all along? Which spl did you use with this rom?

I can see that you have spl 1.14 on your phone now, but what are the details of the rom you are using (I know you say original German one), but do you have details such as the version eg 1.56.......? This will probably be the case and explains the green screen.

I don't understand what it is that you are trying to do. Which rom do you want on your phone ie the German one, the French one or a cooked one. If you want the French or German one you will need to find an official spl that matches the rom you choose. If you want a cooked rom, then you will need hspl (or uspl)

Please post the responses and more details to the thread in the link above and I'll try to help you there.

the screen turn short on and again off.

Does anybody know why? Can i disable it?

Try this..from G-Alarm Online Manual

Don't wakeup at midnight

Because of the Windows alarm bug, G-Alarm wakes the device at midnight so Windows Mobile can rebuild its notification queue. If you turn this off by changing or adding following registry value, it may happen that an alarm doesn't go off:

MidnightWakeUp: False

[Android Themes] hendos43:
I'm a bit of a typography snob, and also a big Android fan. This is the first time, however, I

have decided to combine the two. I enjoy it when the theme I apply overwrites my default

font, I quite like dark themes, and am not afraid of a bit of colour and innovation. Hopefully,

these all show through in my concept ideas for a theme I want to have on my G1.

I went with a calming green colour, because I like red, but don't like infuriating colours to

greet me every time I look at my phone, and I also wanted something quite minimalist.

****** ← This has now become this →

Mock-Up & Bootscreen

Things that my theme will have that (most) others don't:

░ The 'Super'-3G Icon​

I wanted to incorporate the Upload/Download part of that icon into the actual 3G

itself (see screenshot) and have the upload as the 3, and the download as the G.​

▒ A colourful boot screen!​

Why has no-one thought of this? As far as I know (I haven't made a theme yet,

so I could be wrong) the bootscreen consists of a top image with a hole in it, and

a moving piece underneath for the 'shine'. The top piece could easily be colourful.

My bootscreen shows what I would hope to achieve.​

▓ Percentage battery meter​

I prefer to see my battery as a percentage, even if it is not possible to have an

accurate one in the top bar (incremental images I would prefer e.g.: 0%, 15%, 30% etc.)​

*** Edit:

I want to include AdvancedLauncher in my design. Does anyone know how to go about skinning that?

*** Edit #2:

Also, I have realised quite how busy I am. I would be happy to do all the graphical work, but have three A-Levels in the next 13 Days, so don't have much time to resign packages and blah and blah. Anyone fancy a collab theme? It would probably involve me doing most/all the image editing and someone else packaging it/making it work/beta testing.

*** Edit #3:

Currently testing a font reversion .zip to see if the font works well/at all in UI.

[Android Themes] prash:
Great to see other designers start looking into android themes, but the problem is the limitations we face. Most of the issues you point out as to 'why hasn't anyone done this yet' is due to limitation of what we can and cannot use.

Boot screen: I've made full screen boot images in the past but the latest rom's are limited to 256 width, out of 320, so you'd see two very ugly black lines going down either side of your image if you try to do that. Anything bigger than a 256wide image results in full white screen oddity.

Battery Percentages: Again, limitations. Although I'd like to see a percentage readout as well, but the current system uses about 6 images in this incriments: 0, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100. You can use text images to display say 80% but it'll stay 80% all the way down to when it gets to 60%, for some thats a big drop, and they rather see a graphic reprensentation of the same.

As far as the 3G icon, thats completly and easily doable, as long as you have a clear defined images for data in, data out, both data in and out, and none data in and out. As far as the other stuff I see, launcher is easily doable, as well as the widget changes.

I suggest you look into a basic metamorph theme, then start editing the images included to match your taste. You can get a decent working version out of your vision easily. Ask around for help especially with .9.png images, there are tons of theme makers ready to help out.

Boot image

Maybe I can save you a little time- you'll find the "boot flash image" in the framework-res/assets/images folder. Your are right about the top and bottom layers, but it is not a gif; they are png's. I will attach the one I am currently incorporating into my latest efforts.- ChrisView attachment 264418
[Android Themes] hendos43:
Thank you, much of the following information is of huge use to me, since I'm new =)

Bad news, but I'm going to go for a gradient to black on either side, probably, to make it a bit prettier =D

That's cool, but to be honest, I'll probably still go with the numbers. Maybe I'll go with ~10, ~20 etc.

Sweet! I was hoping so!

Will do, thank you very much for your help.
[Android Themes] hendos43:
Hugely useful, thank you again =D
[Android Themes] hendos43:
What about this then?

As the frame?

And, using the above boot underlay's dimensions, what about this as the other 'layer'?
[Android Themes] opasha:
looks good. very doable now for the boot. however, if you want to accomplish that speedy blink in the word "TYPOGRAPH", all you have to do is make the width of your logo-shine smaller. that way, it goes much faster. currently most android-logo-shine.png's are 512 in width which is why they zoom through slowly. dont forget to make your word "TYPOGRAPH" transparent in your logo mask or else the logo-shine won't be seen. good luck :).
[Android Themes] horb:
hi !

I am the android taskiller developper and I read the xda android themes section everyday.

And I am programming a powerfull skin system for android like baterrystatus on Windows Mobile.

Many system info can be read and rendered on the screen with XML configuration file and pictures on SDCARD.

See this sample (the default home screen):

Time is rendered using LCD font

Battery percentage is text and icon

I think many designers will make many beautifull themes with it !

More infos in few days...
[Android Themes] schtuka:
what font is this? looks like helvetica, if it is which exactly you used, cause there are dozens of similar fonts in helvetica family and i like yours in size and thickness.

thanks.
[Android Themes] hendos43:
That's cool, but I kinda wanted a slower shine through, because it looks a little hurried in the preliminary .gif I made, so maybe 512 is a smart width. The 'Typograph' is transparent at the moment, with the 'for Android' not.

Helvetica35-Thin.

Looks amazing! Please keep working! :-)
[Android Themes] Kazan22:

Good luck getting it to kern correctly. I think this is why most of the mods use Trebuchet, as it is designed to be used on screens, and has less issues that need fine tuning. Still, I wish you well :)

Haha, I decided to go for Helvetica 55 Roman instead, as it kerned better, but I'm still messing around with fonts just by the old

The bootloader unlock says pressing unlock bootloader will void you warranty.. is it possible to lock the bootloader back in the future and if so will the Nexus One still know its bootloader has been previously unlocked?

Im kinda uncomfortable with voiding the warranty on my 530$ phone...

Why does google even do that anyway? You cant do any permanant damage to your phone by changing ROMs...
[Nexus One General] JanetPanic:
Tell that to the many people who bricked their G1.
[Nexus One General] Mi|enko:
You could try the unlock code and just change "unlock" to "lock" and see what happens. Or, even try and run the unlock one again, see if you get the popup to not continue and see if that relocks it. That's all I can think of.

Ps. I'm not saying either of these options work, they're just ideas. I take no responsibility if you try these and jack your phone.
[Nexus One General] Taninpv:
OUCH..hopefully, you are not one of them.
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
you CAN NOT brick your android phone by installing a ROM. you CAN brick it by installing a radio or SPL, which is NOT required in the nexus one at all (since the bootloader itself gives you the option to unlock it)
[Nexus One General] JanetPanic:
I am well aware of this but unlocking is the first step down that road. When it is locked the potential for damage is more contained. (For the record m G1 has never been bricked. I wait a few weeks to let others take the risks before I jump in, which usually saves me grief.)
[Nexus One General] deprecate:
Ah the days of the G1 :) I was kinda hoping that the methods needed to bring the nexus to freedom would be the same as the G1. I spent many-an-hour having a good laugh at those who were too impatient to bother reading certain directions. :p

[Nexus One General] phamous:
That's not true at all... i'm assuming when you say "that road" you mean the road to "brick-dom" and that's just plain wrong. It's not like your unlocked nexus' spl's gonna go flashing radio's and spl's on its own now. It's all about your decisions, so your decision to unlock your bootloader, is independent from your decision to brick your phone.

Regardless, you couldn't brick the nexus the traditional way even if you wanted to... you wouldn't be flashing any different spls

[Nexus One General] mlevin:
I am guessing that when you unlock the bootloader, it writes something somewhere that can't ever be unwritten, so even if you flashed the original one back, they'd know.

Some clever ROM hacker will comb through the innards of the N1 and will probably figure out what gets written and figure out how to circumvent it. Just wait a few days... :)
