Hello guys,

i know this smartphone is old and all but i see there is still a lot of things going on and i would like to get more into it. I'm especially interested in rom cooking for this device but i can't seem to find much information.

Any usefull information that i could use as a starting point? Software that i should look into? Documents concerning this specific model?

Thanks

Well, i'm still hoping for something to come up

Anyone getting an account? They are giving away lifetime membership for those who download and register.

It is basically like mobile defense (which is also great and free) but it give the option to wipe the phone & the SD card. a few months ago I lost a G1 and I would have love to be able to wipe everything.

I figured it is a must for my Nexus.

Just wanted to put it out there for those who didn't know.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Tortri:
Were you able to log in into their website?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SystmDcln:
I'm using it, and I'm very impressed. This is a must download app. However, the site is very slow and you often have trouble connecting to it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ssantos6981:
Haven't tried logging into their website yet, just downloaded it today. Still at work and no access to that site. I know mobile defense was fairly simple and I figure it shouldn't be much different.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xManMythLegend:
Dled , installed , and tried it out the other day. GPS was off by alot but the other stuff seemed to work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] uansari1:
I've tried it a few times over the past 2 days and am very impressed. The website worked great... no problems connecting for me. Also, the GPS was right on!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] th3fallen:
I've been using it for about a week and a half now its pretty awesome i think, i had some problems backing up my contacts but got that fixed, other than that it works flawlessly for me.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Tortri:
Ok I see what I did wrong, you have to put +15556667777 (+1 for state side) to log in.

As for tracking, it worked really good for me.. only off by like 7 feet. Had no problems backing up contacts, sms, etc. Works good for me. hopefully i'll never really have to use it but if I do I have trust i'll find my phone in no time.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jbrinkley:
wow that's pretty nice. free even.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] awesomeindeed:
Yep. And When you get the country code or number wrong, they charge it as an international text, which you have to pay for. So be careful when inputting those numbers!

I also found that the app works extremely well, downloaded it the first night I had the phone.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] probers1:
has anyone compared wave secure, mobile defense, or lookout mobile? Do they all do the same thing?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cronin4392:
Seems like a pretty good app from using it for a bit. Only problem I have is that the GPS can only be updated 4 times a day. Would seem pretty hard to track someone down if you cant update the position that often.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ssantos6981:
that is where mobile defense comes in. You can pretty much stream an active location through mobile defense. getting better the longer it stays on.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] thm92630:
Un-Installing?

Would the remote wipe and location features work if the "thief" removed the application from their phone?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Tortri:
Doubt it, unless you password your screen so they can't get access to do that. But then they might try a different sim card at which point they will see the screen about returning it. But if this person knows anything about the android system, couldn't they just unlock it, replace the bootloader and format the phone, regardless if its locked or not??

Guess you better hope that last couple GPS locations is his house or work..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Tortri:
How would this work?

Say someone straight up steals my phone, i put it down, turn to grab something, turn back and its gone. ok, GPS... i know where the SOB lives. Then what, call the cops? Wouldn't I need a IMEI and serial to prove its mine? Wouldn't the cops need a search warrant to look in his house to find your phone?? Or should I just bust down his door and beat the crap out of him?

How would it go down to get it back?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jeux_1:
Beware of the hidden cost

BTW unless they have changed it but every time you receive a txt from wavesure you will get charged.

I know they have stop it for the US, can't confirm for the rest of the world.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mellowgato:
charged by wavesecure or standard sms rates from the carrier?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jeux_1:
I believe it is a foreign received txt. you were getting charged like 20 cents.

It was on a forum where wavesecure was participating.

They changed it in the US but I am unsure for the rest of the world.

I will find the forum once I am back home.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jeux_1:
yeah it is free :-)

[General Topics] kolson:
I dont get it, I have followed all the tuts online about using custom icons but nothing works. All I am trying to do is change the start menu icon on my tilt 2 from the default white windows logo to the colored windows logo and keep all the other icons at there default. Is there a .cab file out there that I can use to do this?
[General Topics] Rudegar:
Think a resourse editor and a custom ROM is required
[General Topics] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Yeah, you have to obtain shellres.192.dll, unsign it, open it with a resource editor (I used reshacker), replace the existing logo with the new one, resign it, and put it on the device with a .cab or Total Commander. As Rudegar said, you need a custom ROM to do this, since you're signing the DLL with the SDK certs, and not actual certificates cooked into the AT&T ROM. More info can be found here.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] icolinirie:
I really need some help please! I think I may have done something very bad. I have a tmobile mytouch 3g. I was trying to update from cyanogenmod 4.2.1.9. I was using a darkstar theme from ringer nation.

Here’s where I think i screwed myself. I am fairly new to all this stuff so I was trying to find a guide on how to update the mod and instead of doing it properly by adding the files to the sd card, doing a wipe, and then installing everything. I instead messed up and did an install of sapping.nbh and basically followed all the directions to originally root the phone. Including formatting the sd card and everything. When I realized that i was doing this all wrong I was still able to load my os and everything seemed ok. I was getting a sd card error that said that the card was blank or had an unsupported file system, but I was able to mount it so, I erased everything off the card and then put the cyanogen update and the drc83_base file and attempted to load into recovery and do the update.

I loaded into and did a wipe. I attempted to follow the instructions on upgrading from the cyogen page. (God I wish I had found that page first) But after I did the wipe and I attempt to Apply any from SD I get “error: sd card is not mounted”

When I attempt to reboot the phone it goes to the tmobile mytouch logo, THEN it goes to my them logo from Ringer Nation, then it just goes to a black screen I let it sit there for like 5 minutes to see what would happen, but nothing. So I took out the battery and sim. I can get into recovery though so I hope that someone can help me figure out where to go from there.I thought that since I had done a wipe that the theme would have been deleted as well? This is weird.

I did do a nandroid backup before. Hopefully that will prove to be helpful. Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to dump as much useful information about this problem so that hopefully someone will be able to help! BTW I'm using a mac with the latest snow leopard software.

As I am desperate for help, please reach out to me via aim – icolinirie or via email

Thank you in advance for everything. This is a great community, and all of Cyanogen’s work is greatly appreciated!!

EDIT: I really need some help! Here's some more information. I have a Magic 32B. Its running Cyanogenmod v1.4 + JF Recovery.

From what I have gathered I need to adp into my phone in order to get it to mount. Anyone know how to do this on a mac. I am trying, but I don't fully understand. I have created the .bash_profile from terminal and typed the following "export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/itunes/Documents/android-sdk-mac_86/tools" which is the path to the tools file in the sdk. I am just stuck at this point. I don't know what to do from here.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] icolinirie:
Hey! First off Thanks for the reply! :) I really appreciate someone chiming in to throw some advice my way! :) But while reading your thread you described the instructions for windows. In this case I have a macbook pro running snow leopard.

I did download the android sdk to my documents folder and I understand that I need to execute some scripts from the terminal on my mac to get things running. But I really dont know what those scripts are or what exactly to do.

I can get into the recovery mode on the MyTouch by holding power and home when powering on. So do I open the console from the recovery screen on the mytouch and then run the scripts on the terminal from my macbook? And which scripts should I run to get the sd card mounted onto my desktop (that is what I'm trying to do). Im not too sure what to do from there either. I want to get the phone back to stock android 1.5 os so that I can root again. My sd card has to be corrupted because it keeps giving me an error saying that it wont mount when I try to do a fix file systems or try anything from that menu. What to do??
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] stian230:
What!:confused:

can you get in the recovery?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] icolinirie:
Yeah I can get into cyanogen v1.4 recovery. I'm just stuck from there.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] stian230:
Ok ok If I understand this correctly then you are not briced. you do not have any imag on your phone.

if you do not have anything nadroid recovery on sdcard you must enter a new ROM on the sdcard and flash it

remember full wipe.!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] icolinirie:
Yes this is what I believe I must do. But I need to either find a way to mount my SD card from the phone while it is in recovery mode (cyanogen v1.4). That's my problem.. I wish there was an easier way to get it mounted onto my mac from the recovery screen. I think I'm just going to go to best buy tomorrow and get a micro sd card reader and maybe another sd card just in case.

Once I have done that though. What files should I put onto the sd card in order to flash it back to original factory android 1.5.

What do you think?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] stian230:
Good idea

I have never used cyanogen v1.4 recovery

I use the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img and ther you can use USB togle in recovery mode, You must go to the store to buy the adapter that fits on your Mac, I have two adapters for your Mac, you can borrow :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] icolinirie:
Yeah that's the plan for tomorrow. Thanks for the offer man. But I'm in Los Angeles, Ca LOL!! Where are you?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] stian230:
Bergen . norway.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AngelDeath:
As the title says, I turned on the Notification when a SMS is sent, so I get the bubble,and I get the sound that lets me know it was sent, my question is, is it at all possible to stop the SMS notification, but NOT the sent tone? it seems is you disable the SMS notification bubble the sound stops too. I'd rather the sound.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AngelDeath:
Anyone? Can it be done?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Bulldog:
Follow below and set what ever you want

Registry Key: HKCU\Control Panel\Notifications\Default

Registry Value: Options

Registry Data: 0 to 11

Here are the description for the different registry data values:

0 - show icon

1 - show icon and play notification sound

2 - show icon and vibration

3 - show icon and vibration and play notification sound

4 - same as 0

5 - same as 1

6 - same as 3

7 - same as 3

8 - show icon and notification bubble

9 - show icon and play notification sound and show notification bubble

10 - show icon and notification bubble and vibration

11 - show icon and play notification sound and show notification bubble and vibration
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AngelDeath:
Thanx for this, but I know this is going to sound utterly stupid, but would "1" be the correct setting? I just want when you press send for the sms, all you get is the sound letting you know it was sent without the stupid bubble.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Bulldog:
Exactly! to set "1" is right
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AngelDeath:
Okay looking exactly at that location I have 4 items:

Duration: 5

LedRefCount:

Options: 13

Wave: \Windows\Alarm2.wav

If the location is right, then what is 12 and 13? Cause right now its set at 13
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Doinshots:
Awesome! What does 13 do??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AngelDeath:
Another bump Sorry...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] NLS:
anybody?

(bump again)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] adamchap:
Hey all,

I've got a dword value of 13 too in here! Is this list the right set of settings?! I'd like to get an SMS alert like the old Treo 650/680 "privacy mode" days - LED flash, icon on the screen, and an audible alert, without having the actual text/words show up on screen.

Any ideas before I edit my registry anyone?

Adam.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] InRBigness:
You can also turn that off in windows completely and then use a 3rd party app like PhoneAlarm to set what ever tones, vibes, icons etc you want.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dj_doeboy:
I don't know what 13 is exactly but mine was set at 13 and was not giving me any notifications that the SMS was sent. I changed the registry value to 3 (show icon and vibration and play notification sound) and rebooted but it didn't work. I just tried changing it to 1 but it didn't work either. Changing it back to 13 now...

I have just recently purchased a HTC 8925 with WM 6.5. Can the phone run Manila Touchflo 3D 2.5 or 2.6 software and if it can is there anything that first has to be done to the phone before installing the software?

Thanks for any help that someone could offer in this.

AFAIK there's no manila 2.5/2.6 software available for the kaiser.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] staunty:
Is it 72 X 72? If so, what resolution? TIA.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
thats tooo high for the Dream's screen

25X25 is the right size
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] staunty:
That seems really small. I just looked at the properties for an alarm clock icon...It says its 48 X 48 pixels, 96dpi, 32 bit-depth...Only reason I am asking is every time I've tried replacing icons, the resolution gets screwed up.

hi i tried searching for this already but i just dont know what to exactly search, i want a program that lets me access my phone through my computer, so i can type up sms and then send it through my phones network. i previously owned a nokia and it lets me do this in its pc suite software. so i was wondering is there any software like this? or does this even make sense, much appreciated.

It been reported thru several teardowns that the n1 has a fm transmiter/reciver inside. Is there anyway to to access this hardware (where would it be located /sys/device/ ect) would be nice to know if we can interface with this hardware.

nexusoneblog.com/blog/2010/1/6/nexus-one-dissected-reveals-80211n-wifi-and-fm-transmitter.htm
[Nexus One General] Ssantos6981:
It would be awesome to actually have that funtionality. I've seen a few crappy flip phones with FM transmitters built in.
[Nexus One General] momohammed20:
a google employee on this forum (swetland) said there is an fm transmitter/reciever, but google is not developing or working on an app for that yet, that's why they did not advertise it.
[Nexus One General] Nycro:
My nexus one is rooted and I have a console program just trying to figure out if this hardware would be listed in the /sys/devices/ area anywhere. Im new to android not sure of how the google api's work but would be intrested into trying to get a small app or script to run just to initalize the hardware and fool around with it. :) any ideas?
[Nexus One General] momohammed20:
i know cliq users have a FM radio built in too, but they don't have an app to use it. see this here http://www.modmymoto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=526775

transmitter / receiver

does that mean it can transmit fm signals to car radio so we can listen to music?!
[Nexus One General] g2lover:
I think that means we can use N1 like a walkie talkie if the application is available.? :D
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
there should not be anything on the phone that you can find that mentions the existence of an fm reciever/transmitter... the phone has one but there is no functionality of it because there is no driver or app support for it... from what i have gathered getting the thing to work is going to be quit a project because the community would have to create a driver for the device as well as an application that calls on that driver as well as utilizes the capabilities of the chip itself... i dont know what experience you have with creating a driver to work for a complex piece of hardware that you have no idea how it works, its more/less going to be like blindly threading a needle unless google/htc would be so kind as to give one of our lovely coders some groundwork...

potentially... if this thing gets coded to work, receiving signals will prolly be the easier thing to figure out first...
[Nexus One General] darkfire23:
other HTC devices, such as the HTC Touch Pro2, have a built in FM receiver. HTC actually writes an app for this and I use it on my TP2, but I don't know if one exists for the N1. You can search xda-developers for the win-mo version for the TP2, but my point is, if they did it for winmo, they can do it for android!
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
lol clearly you did not read get my point... "they" are not making anything, else they would have marketed it from the get go... it is up to the android community more specifically the nexus one community to come up with a driver that makes the chip functional... the chip in the other devices may be different as well, aka different driver needed...
[Nexus One General] gre:
What about htc tattoo? It has a fm receiver and an app...
[Nexus One General] Nycro:
The nexus one uses the broadcom BCM4329 Chipset. I need to find something to work with for this chip to even understand the funconatly of the chip itself I will look thru broadcoms site later see if they have any kind of driver or any information at all on this chipset. Reading other posts on other phones that had a similar chipset people were able to get the reciver on the chip activated but were unable to get the sound routed to the phone. They were able to however to get the the radio to tune to certain frequanceys and I think get the RDS information from the chipset. If anyone finds any relevant information post it here :)

Nycro
[Nexus One General] Nycro:
This tree was just added to the android source on the 12th of Jan looks to be mostley for the WLAN/Bluetooth features of the chipset

ttp://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/system/wlan/broadcom.git;a=summary
[Nexus One General] flashransom:
Have a look at.

codeaurora.org/gitweb/quic/la/?p=platform/packages/apps/FM.git;a=summary

Looks like an fm radio app for android using a qualcomm chip.
[Nexus One General] Nycro:
Im talking with the devolper of the driver for the wifi portion of the chip. At this time he is as well intrested in getting the Radio part of the chipset working but does not know much about it himself. Hopefully something will arise out of this conversation with him and maybe we will get a nice start to getting this portion of the chip working!

Im new with programing for android so I probley will need some help in the end lol.. allthough im pretty adaptive with c++ and some java im not no expert (Bacholers in network secuirty)
[Nexus One General] darkfire23:
Clearly, you didn't get my point. For the TP2, not only was the Radio app not marketed, it was also not made available by HTC, but is now available on this forum. Secondly, I didn't contest that Google is not going to develop a Radio app - I simply said that HTC HAS made one. Hopefully, that clears things up :)
