jackleung: import one from Australia! 850 3G compatible!

Also, someone tried to create some 'sense' of the ROMs by making www.xdaroms.com but it comes a bit short.

The concept is sound but some things need to happen to make the site great. Namely:

1) Chef support: Dedicated accounts where they can upload freely, add details, etc.

2) UI revision: It looks like the same damn mobile oriented sites we've seen for the past decade
[HD2 General] Cass67:
I like the fact that there are many releases and so quickly. I also like the fact chefs are pushing the latest tech to us so quickly even if the rom is not perfect. release early get bug reports release fix etc.. its moving the platform forward and keeping it interesting imho. sure some better organization would be nice but the changelogs on the chefs pages for me do a good job of telling me what's inside the latest creation.

now I have just cooked my own rom I want more faster latest releases of dev branches to play with :)
[HD2 General] mmmalas:
I think too that there are too many choices without clear layed out differences between them.

I hope that there were some comparasion but I think its just a matter of variety
[HD2 General] kr00t0n:
There is no substitute for real-life usage bug discovery, so I think releasing newer tech as soon as possible (letting people know that it is sort of beta and will contain bugs) means those bugs can be found and resolved quicker.
[HD2 General] firaX:
Actually, most chefs do tag the topics with WM6.5 or WM6.5.3 and mostly even include the Sense version.

After a while you realize what rom offers what. Personally, i stick with one rom that i am happy with, until the cook changes something that doesn't fit my needs anymore.

Also generally there are concepts to rom design: Some chefs cook roms with particular flavor, i.e. tweaks, hacks, design changes (such as custom task bar, backgrounds, boot splashes), and some just create "stock rom like" roms, that mostly offer either a stock rom with removed junk, or a stock rom with updated components. I prefer the latter.
[HD2 General] Schooleydoo:
I feel the same, in fact my new years resolution this year is to only flash stock ROMs!. My HD1 was the worst for it, every other day I would be flashing a new ROM, the pattern would normally go something like this:

Week 1

"Steve" finds a new way of improving speed and creates a ROM including the fix, I flash it but find that a few other things are broken.

Week 2

"Sam" then builds a ROM with the new speed improvement and nothing broken. So I flash it. But then realise that its blisteringly fast, because the ROM has nothing in it!

Week 3

"John" then builds a ROM that looks beautiful and has many applications, but lacks the new speed improvements. I flash, and am back to square one! And the cycle continues...

I don't think its anybodies fault, and I don't want anything to change, but I think that perhaps some of the more experienced users are feeling a little jaded now. Whereas the newer users are still in the honeymoon phase of being able to flash new, varied ROMs! I also think that there is more competition between chef's these days, and users demand the new discoveries in their favourite ROMs. (576mb / 1gz for example), meaning that the cycle is becoming ever shorter, as people are discovering new things almost daily!
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
it is very hard to flash rom every day this way you cannot keep any data on deice you need to inistall programms every day apply tweaks every day so so hard
[HD2 General] gfreek:
Well said, I couldn't agree more!:)
[HD2 General] dagrim1:
All true and all the different choices don't make it easier but I do notice I usually stick to a few cooks having my favorite roms...

I mean, I like a certain windows build, certain looks (default white clock, no transparent stuff), some basic apps and functionality, no need for a document tab, etc...

As a result I stick mostly to the Miri roms (and every now and then I try another, now running energy since I really liked that on the touch pro) so once you have your mind made up about what you want in general a number already drops out of the picture.
[HD2 General] Skywalker74:
Wouldn't it be better to ask some of this enthusiastic "chiefs" to help developping Android instead for developping redundant versions of windows mobile in different "flavours". It is just waste of time. We need Android, where the real fun is! :-)

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jubeh:
I thought we had it working already?

I put out one on my rom that worked, but had some bugs at the all apps list, but that's all fixed now.

I won't be releasing it because 1.) there's way too many roms out there, I really don't feel like making one and 2.) I have philosophical differences with the roms that are out there (I don't like my work on half-baked, crash-prone builds).

I would like to get SYS, XIP and OEM fram an original Wizard WM5 ROM. Can anyone help?

I tried HyperCore Kitchen but that didn't work. :(

What I have done so far:

- unzipped nk.nbf file from original installer

- used typho5.exe to extract nb files from nk.nbf (typho5.exe nk.nbf -x)

Now I ave the os.nb file and don't know what to do.

For ImgfsFromNb.exe I need an os.nb.payload file.

May I use NBSplit.exe with a Wizard ROM? Which parameter do I have to use?

What else do I have to do?

Here they are from the

RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship_1.exe

Some packages also have GUID instead of a name, but I do not think that should affect the cooking. You could rename the folder based on what is inside it.

all i want is to have the same background on all tabs and to have a transparent slider.

I've been looking for this like a crazy person and tried at least 5 different cabs and none work.

Any one can help me out
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] gorgeousyousuf:
Hello

I think i can help you.I was searching for background on all tabs by yesterday:)

Try hd wall.You will get a result better than you want.

1-Just drag and drop your desired wallpaper for portrait mode

2-Then press landscape on the ta-op then drag and drop a wallpaper fits your landscape mode.

3-Click config and choose your appropriate Manila version then come back

4-Click create cab then choose both "include portrait wallpaper" and "include landscape wallpaper" then press convert button.That conversion porcess will take approximately 2 minutes.

5-Don't forget to consider where you want your cab file to be created checking the option on the top right.

6-And give a name in application title

7-You are ready to go.Press create cab and your cab will be created to the folder you chose so transfer it to your ppc and install then restart.This solved my problem.

And here is the cab to give your slider glass look

Hope these two will solve your encountered issues.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sirphunkee:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] daguila:
Thanks for your help. i already tried but i cant seem to figure out how to get the Home Wall paper
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sirphunkee:
1) Is the cab I attached below one of the ones you've already tried?

2) If you've followed the steps above to install one of the HDWalls wallpapers, and it appears everywhere but your home tab, then you need to just follow the instructions HERE (it's a common thing for people to have to apply those steps when using HDWalls wallpapers)

[Nexus One General] SBS_:
The pipe-character is used to denote roaming. E.g. on my phone it says "Netcom | Tele 2", in this case because Tele 2 is using Netcom's network in Norway, so not really roaming, but still.

So I would think that for users experiencing this that the phone thinks you're roaming, have anyone tried to see if data connections still work if you turn off "data roaming" in settings?

I need to develop an app to scan a bar code for event tickets.

Which phone/camera or version of Android would be the fastest at this? Which version should I develop for?

Thank you
[Android Software Development] janfsd:
On my tests of a G1 camera and a Nexus one, they are equally fast. The fastest way is to use http://code.google.com/p/zxing/

Just call the application (barcode scanner, need to be installed) from yours via an intent. There is a way to make sure that the barcode scanner app is installed, and if not, just prompt the user to install it.

About the version, here you can check how many devices are running a certain version:

http://developer.android.com/resources/dashboard/platform-versions.html

For a barcode scanner app you could aim for 1.5 to get maximum compatibility.

Hi,

I've been looking around the forums/google for a solution to the backlight not staying active in my app. I've seen a number of different 'solutions' offering advice of disassembling HTCUtil, sending IOCTLs to the backlight block device. Non of these either a) worked or b) gave a neat solution.

After a few hours of playing with a disassembler I have the correct calls to keep the backlight on with the HD2 in your own software.

in your WinMain()

HANDLE tmp = SetPowerRequirement(_T("BKL1:"), D0, POWER_NAME, NULL, 0);

and on exit

ReleasePowerRequirement(tmp);

You could do something clever with the minimize (background) and app, so that the screen will dim when its out of focus.

Let the demo coding begin

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tigger166:
Ok, i have a need for a bit of help. I rooted and flashed to Jesusfreaks adp. I tried to get it to RC33. LONG story short, JF is installed. My kernel is 2.6.27-00392-g8312baf

NO clue what that means but im at fireware 1.5 and Build number CRB43

I want to get to Cyanogen. It looks a little smoother then JF and more frequently update. BTWi have a G1

I followed this guide TO THE T!

simplehelp.net/2009/10/04/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-4-1-99-on-your-g1-android-phone/

and after i rebooted, it took forever to boot (which is usual)

All my apps crashed. My desktop didnt even load. It had force closes like *android.phone and *android.mail

I figured it was because i was trying to mod off of the Jesus freak setup. Can anyone help me out and tell me how to either COMPLETELY wipe my phone and restore it to its origional G1 official build and then i can re-root to Cyanogen OR a way to mod from Jesusfreak to Cyanogen

It just didnt have any programs working. IT is as if the phone had the OS but no program files. It wouldnt even load the phone at all. it was a black screen with a status bar and infinate force close screens. Any idea what that is a result of? I had to flash recover back to my JF os
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolimit78:
Try this:

1. Flash recovery Amon_Ra (Great improvment on JF and Cyans recovery)

Copy recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2.img to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
select console from the menu
$su (not required if you have root already)
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2.img

2. Boot into recovery (Home+Power)

3. Wipe Data/Factory Reset

4. Wipe EXT

5. Repair EXT

6. Flash Super D (I suggest Super D only because there is less flashing involved and it's a great improvement on the Cyan roms.. super quick too)

From here you should be set.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tigger166:
so if i already have root and all that, do i still need to follow step 1? Like flash with Amon_Ra? or can i just wipe, and reload the D rom? also your rom says its myHero2.2? is that a good rom? Im just trying to find the best rom to use on a g1. I have read up on Jesusfreak, its very stable, but it is pretty much just a open version of the regular tmobile os. THe only difference is the apps store is an older version. In your opinion, what is the best G1 rom and what are its percs?

thanks for all your help. This has been a working progress haha, finding a good rom and sticking with it. and can you give me a list of all the files needed for the best rom? if they have a step by step guide to it, thatd be great! i would look myself, but im still new at all this and there are like a bajillion different roms/ ways to load the rom. Im a PSP hacker, not an experienced phone guru
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolimit78:
I would just so you're current on your recovery. The updated recovery has added features compared to JF's recovery

I would load the new recovery and then flash Super D. Again it's the most stable and is wicked fast. Yeah used to use myHero2.2 but i haven't updated my sig in a while. It's getting mundane at this point.

This is going to be more of a difficult question to answer. It just depends on what you're after. I really prefer Super D because of it's speed. Again its built from the Cyan roms so you get Cyan + extras. That's what I would go with. Simple, easy, and fast.

Well that's the cool part about the community here at XDA. All the files are set up for you. To flash a rom:

Download the .zip file and place it on the root of your sd card
Reboot into recovery
Make a backup (i prefer switchrom)
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe EXT
Repair EXT
Flash rom from .zip
Reboot.

It's that easy.

Hey guys when I use wireless tether whenever I set encryption and a password it won't show that the connection is secure when I try to connect. Anyone can connect to it, and it says "unsecured". I really don't like how other people can connect to my connection is there a fix for this?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] TEC602:
I have the same issue, the encryption and password settings in the app seem to have no effect and anyone can connect. I have v1.6 running Fresh 1.1 rom.

What seems to work (prob not too secure though) is the access control function in the app, If you enable it and tether your desired PC(s) and check them off in the access control list, when a unrecognized PC connects you get a warning icon in the notification bar.

When I tested it the PC not checked in the access control list could not connect to the internet, even though it had a wireless connection to the phone. So it seems this may help prevent someone else from thethering to your phone.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] imb951:
Same issue here, never found a fix. Just been using Access Control...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
You really just need to turn AC on. This way you have to give connections permission to connect. Its a known issue that the password protection is broken. - really kinda useless on an Ad-Hoc anyways, nativly not the most secure thing made.

Don't ask too much from the devs of that app, they have 5+ phones to support all with different issues/methods/kernels. I think its an excelent App for free.
