[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gogomimi:
UPDATE:

Hi,

I have flashed the ROM with WM 6.5.3 build 28011 (by Montrecristo- excellent work by the way). Everything went well. Device booted up. I completed screen alignment and set the date and time.

But right after that screen, "HP Ipaq Customization" screen popped up again. I could not find a way to bypass that screen. The only working option on the screen is "Start". And if you clink on it, it changes the theme and it makes some restrictive changes to the "data connection setup" properties.

After the customization, I cannot select any carrier under "Ipaq Data Connection" other that Rogers.

I have confirmed that the voice communication works with other carriers. But data communication does not.

Does anybody have a solution? Is it possible to prevent that update from running by modifying a registry entry? Or is it Radio-ROM pushing this update?

Thank you in advance.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jordyr:
Hey, just wondering if anyone has posted (or can post) a Rogers Ipaq 910c ROM please. Thanks VERY much...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ash99:
Apparently this feature is downloadable from the US market place, but no where else.

Can someone please rip and distribute to the rest of the world that google thinks is insignificant ?

I'm getting real tired of this Google US ONLY ****.

Thanks.

Here you go - seems gimmicky to me. *shrug*
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chronzz:
use market enabler and you can download from any google market not only us

It's a US Based company that hasn't released their flagship phone overseas yet? Final Fantasy XIII's been out in Japan for a while, but I still gotta wait until next Tuesday. You don't see me tearing up because of it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ash99:
I think sometimes its good to tear up about it, Its healthy and possibly Google will notice. Possibly not, but hey ...... you gotta try.

Plus, whats wrong with giving to everyone ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ash99:
Thanks. Will give it a go shortly. :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Know-Fear:
Wait...what? The rest of the world isn't insignificant after all? Damn the media!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ash99:
LOL .... Your funny dude ..... Almost as funny as me :-P

Singapore and Hong Kong not "overseas" enough for you? Google up a world map.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] karthikjr:
I just looked at the world map. Looks like there's quite a bit of landmass

out there that doesn't fit under "Singapore and HK"! :)

So, no. Singapore and HK not "overseas" enough. :)

Coming to the app: thanks for the rip, krohnjw.

App works as advertised. But with the likes of NubDialer

and Dialer One, I don't see the point of the app.

I'm sure this app is just a test ground for Google's team

to learn more about gestures. We'll see gestures implemented

in a more complete way in the future throughout the OS I guess.

On a different note:

With the Google Search Widget, Voice Search, and now Gesture Search,

there's a number of ways to quickly and efficiently get to the Contact/App/Song

you're looking for on your phone. And yet, searching apps on the Market continues

to be a "stringCompare()" search function, penalizing you for single letter errors

and so on. Frustrating.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MontAlbert:
+1 .considering their bread and butter is searching, their market search sucks arse. wonder if they are working on improving it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
Imagine if future iterations of Android incorporate this gesture search into everything. I'd be in heaven.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Enrico3:
Thanks for the apk, The app isn't available in Israel so got it from here. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mi|enko:
My bad. Didn't realize it was available to those locations through official channels. Do they have access to the app? Now it's really interesting if the countries you can get it legit in don't have access to the same market content. That would actually be kind of lame.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] uansari1:
Wholeheartedly agreed! They better patent it asap! ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
The N1's also available to people in the UK, and no, neither the UK nor Singapore nor Hong Kong has access to gesture search. Bit unfortunate, really.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gcgspain:
Thanks, works perfec in N1 in Spain.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ripern:
Another apk

Didn't download on my nexus one, this one worked though

Google Gesture Search apk - mediafire.com/file/zlz2zwmiomo/com.google.android.apps.gesturesearch.apk
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] acabbie:
i've got gesture search from market place this morning and i'm in the UK.

Works well, would be great if it could be bound to the search button.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stewart1988:
I have it in the UK market...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
My bad, but I don't think you can see it as a Singapore or Hong Kong user.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Casao:
It's English only at the moment, so it makes sense it would be restricted in other countries.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nrathdor:
What kind of sense? I'm living in Switzerland but I use all my devices, from notebooks to smartphones, in english... By the way, english is taught at school in many countries outside the USA or UK.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Casao:
But it's not the only language. Stop getting offended about everything. We'll forget the fact this is a 100% free application from Google Labs and not a commercial effort with ads and focus on the fact that there's no reason for Google to QA every situation immediately.

Google is known for releasing barely complete products and building them up as time goes on, this is another examples. Don't get so pissy about it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] danimar1:
I found it in the market (stock market, no market enabler or similar) from Spain. This should be integrated in the regular contacts.apk, then it would be awesome!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] musashiken:
That's because of the way the original poster wrote his post. "Because it's English, so non-US people aren't getting it"

And that just sounds nonsensical. Especially when possible reactions will be things like "English is from England, not the US bla bla"

In anycase, I'm from Singapore, I can at least type in English (very sarcastic tone) and I downloaded and installed Gestures on my unrooted Nexus One.

So obviously there's some inconsistency in the way Google deployed Gestures to the various regions or I'm just lucky or people over here in Asia just didn't try hard enough to search for it.

Don't know about the other parts of the world but I'm inclined to think that the original 4 countries Google shipped the N1 to should have Gestures in the market.

Edit: Oh and I'm giving the middle finger to the guy who thinks that Singapore and Hongkong aren't "overseas" enough due to lack of land mass. Jokingly of course. But the finger is still the finger.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
That's how I read it, too. The way he said it sounds dumb and ignorant. English is taught in plenty of countries, and chances are good that the people of said countries are bilingual, unlike the majority of Americans who can manage only English. And even then, not very well.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DOHCtor:
deleted to stay on topic
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] musashiken:
He will only generalize if he said "All" Americans. Or would you prefer he said "Some" instead of "Most"?

And why point out you are Cambodian-American instead of just American? It almost makes me think you're just 1/2 American. Oh what do I know? I'm just some backward guy from insignificant Asia.

Yippie, we are so getting off-topic.

So anyway, we got people from UK and Singapore able to download Gesture from the Market, that just leaves Hongkong.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
Cute, considering I was responding to generalizations in the first place. There's a reason I said "majority," by the way, not all.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DOHCtor:
Google Gestures makes searching so much easier, and fun, too. Sometimes I just like to scribble around to see if it can recognize what I'm trying to gesture.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] musashiken:
Yeah, makes searching for contacts easy and fun too. Not to brag but my Iphone totting colleague went gaga over it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] scote:
going to be great for when driving, would be even better if it was integrated into maps, co-pilot and other nav apps for address input.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] guerom00:
For the love of me : there's one contact which is not found by Gesture, don't know why :D Kinda funny in fact…

Edit : Ah ah, I found ! It only indexes contacts for whom you have a phone number. I have a bunch of contacts for whom I only have an email address and those are not indexed.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nrathdor:
Just wanted you to know that it's available since Thursday in the Android Market in Switzerland.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rockky:
The 4G IPhone has gesture features as a key new search feature.... although it apparently is triggered through hardware gesturing, I'm sure touchscreen gesturing is also included.

Google is perhaps stealinga bit of thunder here?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mttmllns:
Out for 1.6 now:

[HD2 General] DuoM:
This video and the reply from Google makes me think that this could be related to the screen and touch issues that we have been seeing with the HD2:

http://androidandme.com/2010/03/news/is-multitouch-broken-on-the-nexus-one/

Looks like it's down to the quality of the sensor that HTC have used on their devices and I doubt that they did anything different with the HD2. The larger screen may have just made the problem more apparent.

EDIT: Added links to the two main threads on the HD2 Screen problems below.

[HD2 General] DMAND:
Yup looks messed upto me on the Nexus, the Driod has a better screen or something according to Google (well worded differently ;p) maybe thats why theres confusion about the HD2 geting a WP7S upgrade as it requires a 4 point mutlitouch screen or something.
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
4point multitouch screen is a software support not hardware
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
This looks like driver issue. Bad code. No faulty hardware as it is in case of HD2. I bet it would affect all Nexuses .. unlike on HD2 (for example mine is perfect).

Multitouch sensor can detect if any point on the screen is touched or not (with some resolution, rather poor actually).

The driver must find 'islands' of touched points of some minimal size, then compute center of that 'island' and that is the 'touched point'. Problem is there is a lot of noise coming from all the sensor, and lot of averaging and smoothing comes into play. On droid you can see how the points merge a bit earlier then you would expect, that is because of this. Also it is understandable that the sensor can't distinguish which point was which after the merge.

On Nexus there is clearly some rather more simple implementation of these algorithms, or they contain serious bug. Good think is that I believe it is totally fixable on the software side.
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
but does the hd2 has proper drivers ,and another question (does the shaking screen when zooming is hardware isse )
[HD2 General] DMAND:
Im not sure its real multitouch on the HD2 rather pinch to zoom, seems to be implemented the same way on the Nexus
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whodatfever:
...so I am compelled to root. ALL I care about is unlocking that other 256 (himem, I think it's called) for use and apps2sd would be nice but not necessary. Any other practical enhancements would be welcome. I'm using build ERE27. So which ROM fits that description best and where are the easiest instructions with links to download? I have been all over this and other sites and there are so many tutorials and none seem identical. Try Youtube and you know what you get? The most popular root tutorial (by far) flat out tells you from the start "This is not for beginners". Well, where the **** is the one for the beginners? I've jailbroken Iphones and flashed ROM's on to WM devices but I've never seen a more convoluted method to implementing a ROM replacement for a phone. Step by step (with backup reminders at critical times during process) would be great.

For example (from CyanogenMod):

I'm sorry, did you not just provide me with 2 files to download? Where does the third come from? And why does every "Link" lead to a full page with 3700 more links rather than just a freaking file to download??

Even Droiddog uses a Mac during the process because a PC would have been far too convenient for the masses (Plus I don't want the Desire ROM-too borky).

Preparing myself beforehand (going through the motions of the root without rooting) led to me opening 7 windows instead of direct file downloads. 7 Windows. 7. Does it really have to be this arduous?

I'm sorry for the frustration but deciding to root was suppose to be the hard part. Now I'm just overwhelmed with the unnecessary difficulty of it all. In truth, I'll probably be posting "thanks" from a rooted N1 by tomorrow and wondering what was so hard about all of that.......or I'll be crying over a $530 brick in my hands.:(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclair~:
I believe Cyanogen mod (latest version in the link) includes the himem by default, just install that and you'll get the more available RAM (unless there is more steps to the process), I do not use Cyanogen.

Please note this is not the iphone OS we are dealing with here, things will not be as simple as a button press.. I honestly do not know what a "noob guide" is when it comes to Android, it all seems so straightforward to me... If I rooted my G1 and I'm only 13, not even being a nerd at that (wouldn't care if I was though..), I would imagine it not being hard for anyone..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMaverick50:
At least the ram thing can be fixed with an ota. It looks like the multitouch problem is hardware. I feel like the ram, choppy scrolling, weird picture quality and image issue should really be solved by now by official update. I can see stringing us along for software upgrades like cupcake, new market, etc...but software fixes should be released asap. Any eta on the nexus 2?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanowns:
Choppy scrolling is just that launcher2, and has nothing to do with the actual phone hardware which is a good thing. I went back to an older 2.0 launcher that is MUCH MUCH faster with continuous scroll.

I will switch if continuous scroll is added to launcher2, but yeah that choppiness stinks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prod1702:
It's a bug the iPhone had its bugs too. One of the great things about rooting your phone is not having to wait for Google to fix bugs the devs here do it nice and quick. I waited a month then rooted my phone and I am happy I did.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whodatfever:
Does the extra 256 of ram make a noticeable difference in the overall speed and experience of the device (you should know having gone a month with stock on it)?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jz9833:
I didn't know CM rom unlocked the RAM you are talking about. I thought we were still waiting on an update from google for that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whodatfever:
Is this true?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gslick:
CM mode unlocks a good upgrade portion of the ram, for example with 10 apps Open I used to have 60 or less MBS left of ram, after CM upgrade with Kspec theme, i have 10 similar apps open and have 200+mbs of ram left, dont believe me? I actually made a video while still pretty shocked, check it, might as well rate and sub. I think I had 230+mbs while 10-12 apps running

www.youtube.com/user/exclusivegslick = my only video.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanowns:
Ok to answer a few of your questions:

Does CyanMod include more ram? YES. This bump up in ram is included in the Kernel, and all of the newest roms have this including the undervolted/overclocked kernel's as well.

You get about 400mbs after the free up.

The Three Files:

Google had to go after Cyanogen so he HAD to seperate "google apps addon" from his mod. OTHER ROMS will include Google apps in most cases. So CYanogenmod = 2 files.

Ok here is a quick summary that will hopefully help the other guides make more sense. USE THE OTHER GUIDES STILL this is a conceptual map.

1) Install Android SDK to your COMPUTER which gives you ADB and the windows drivers. The drivers can also be downloaded via another thread. Search drivers/sdk drivers/adb drivers etc..

2) Download/install Fastboot to your COMPUTER

3) Download Amon Ra Recovery 1.6.3 to your Fastboot FOLDER on computer

4) Download CyanogenMOD 5.0.4.1 to the ROOT(VERY TOP LVL) directory of your SD CARD.

5) In same post, Download Google APPS 36ERE thing to ROOT of your SD CARD.

*This gives you all of the proper stuff. Make sure you get ADB SDK drivers loaded I stumbled here and wasted a couple of hours*

6) Unlock bootloader via fastboot. This is a command given from your Computer in DOS prompt in the folder you created with fastboot stuff. Your phone is connected and you are in the BOOTLoader. READ the guides for exact directions or the androidandme video, or countless other things.

7) Install Amon Ra's Recovery while still in FASTBOOT from a command via your computer. Follow guides or even first post on Amon Ra's Thread.

8) Now that you are unlocked. Go into RECOVERY which is done via the bootloader. Guide will give exact direction.

9) **** MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP **** just get in the habit. It is your FAIL SAFE. This in theory makes a nandroid backup of your "stock but unlocked" setup. I always "RE" nandroid backup before making changes or when I "Like" my setup. Command is in recovery.

10) WIPE data via recovery command.

11) FLASH from ZIP - pick Cyanogenmod5.0.4.1 (file you dl'ed to your sd card)

12) Flash from ZIP - GAPPS(googleapps) (file you dl'ed to your sd card)

REBOOT the phone. VOILA. Your done.

Important notes. If you decide, IFFFF, to update the radio. NEVER EVER EVER EVER pull the battery. MD5CheckSUM the radio download. and Repeat NEVER EVER EVER EVER pull the battery until the radio is entirely installed. It can take awhile. This is how you BRICK your phone.

Anyways. that is a real high lvl overview but maybe puts things in perspective easier.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
btw you actually have less than half of the total RAM & ROM usable on a stock n1.

I would love to post a cyanogen guide...but haven't rooted yet. I believe he has a wiki with steps too.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andythefan:
Same here. I'm temped every day to root and unlock the benefits, but I don't know if it's worth voiding my warranty :\
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam.lah:
I know what you mean with the "this is not for beginners", it was annoying because, even cyanogen had to unlock his first android phone some time. I followed that guide anyway, after doing as much research as possible. It didnt work though, i could not go straight from unlocking the bootloader to installing amon_ra's recovery, i had to install superboot first. I was hoping for a 30 minute root job, but it ended up taking about 4 hours all up.

I think the stock android kernel is .29 Which only recognises 256mb ram, cyanogen's mod is on the .32 then the .33 kernel which is a highmem kernel, by flashing cyanogenmod you are automatically unlocking the extra ram, no other work is required.

Also, i would suggest sticking with the ERE27 radio, i personally have no problems with reception with it, also if you don't flash the radio, your chances of bricking your phone are very very very low. If you want to do the radio, you can flash it later, when you are more experienced.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whodatfever:
I downloaded the Android SDK

Where is fastboot?

Do I have to do this? : (from Cyanogen's Wiki)

Instructions from Android Developers and ADB, Fastboot, and Nandroid for Noob

Download the latest Android SDK.

Unzip to C:\AndroidSDK

Right-click on (My) Computer, and select Properties

Go to Advanced settings

XP: Click the Advanced tab

Vista/7: Click Advanced system settings on the left

Click the Environment Variables button

double-click on Path (under System Variables)

Add the full path to the tools/ directory:

C:\AndroidSDK\tools\

(make sure a semicolon (;) separates this new path from all the others) Latest windows version appears to need: "C:\AndroidSDK\android-sdk-windows\tools", install location may have changed. (sorry I don't know how to format this correctly!)

Run C:\AndroidSDK\SDK Setup.exe

If it gives you an error go to settings and click on "Force http//....."

Unselect all options except for the USB driver

If you can't get the setup to work, download the USB-DRIVERS folder - HERE (Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7)

On your phone, click Settings > Applications > Development and make sure USB Debugging is on.

Plug your phone into your computer via USB cable (it needs to be on). It should say installing drivers if using Windows.

After it installs the drivers, goto the Start menu and type cmd into the search bar (Vista or higher) or click Run then type in cmd (XP) to open the command prompt.

Type the following into the command prompt window:adb devices

You should see a serial number pop up, it’s the serial number of your phone. This means you are all set. If you do NOT see a serial number, then we need to reinstall the drivers.

Download USBDeview

While the phone is still plugged in, open USBDeview and sort by manufacturer. Find all the HTC/Android drivers and uninstall them all. (Windows Vista requires program to be run as an administrator, otherwise files won't uninstall.)

Once all have been uninstalled, unplug the phone from the USB cable and plug it back in.

The correct drivers should reinstall automatically (check the drivers as they are installing, one should say ADB Device driver).

To check, go to Devices in your Start menu then click on the “Android Phone”. Click on the Hardware tab, and check the list of drivers for ADB Interface under Type.

Done! Now you can use ADB to alter your phone from your computer.

I have Amon RA Recovery Image.

Please go to the Cyanogen Page and tell me where that is. The only link that states CyanogenMOD 5.0.4.1 will lead to another tab opening with the exact same page as the one you just left. Check for yourself: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=623496

Is this the file underneath the CyanogenMOD that is named Google ION? It does the exact same thing that the CyanogenMOD file does when you click it. Re-opens that same page in another browser.

I have no problem following the instructions once there is a clear link to the files one actually needs to complete this process. I'm not trying to be difficult, the ability to root to Cyanogen on xda developers is, right now, broken.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gr8gorilla:
Cyanogen has moved the download to the CyanogenMod web page.

If you have sdk, and fastboot, on you machine and you have already put on amon-ra recovery, then you should be set to go.

Go to Cyanogen Mod.com and click the link to download the latest stable release. If you are in the US. I recommend that you get the new ERE36B radio. You should flash it as well. Just read up on flashing radios and plug in your phone, dont pull the battery during the radio flash and always md5sum a radio image no matter what. The radio is the only area where flashing has the potential to be dangerous.

Good luck and welcome to the Cyanogen World, you will never go back!
