Oh totally. that's the BEST part lol

but naw. It's really for the customization and added freedom. New bootloaders, ROMs (which there is a wide variety of them, and they can get very fast) and the ability to tether is a popular reason as well.

I'm glad I rooted mine. For one, it keeps me from getting bored when tinkering with new ROMs and such lol, but it really adds a whole new realm of development and experimentation that you can experience.

FYI, follow steps precisely, lest you risk bricking your phone. The wiki will train you young padawan.

Also, when in doubt, search the forums. Ya never know how great an answer you'll find for most things.
[G1 General] phatmanxxl:
You can remove apps with root, but all you have to do is set up the notification in handcent and turn off all the notifications in the native messaging app. If you pull the messing app off

the phone i dont think hancent will work either. It also might make your ROM unstable.

G1 stock battery sucks, if it bothers you that much either underclock or upgrade the battery.
[G1 General] evilkorn:
You can delete the stock messaging application and rename the replacement then drop it into the /system/ side of things and have it work fine. But that was before advanced launcher so I didn't bother with that any more.

There is really no risk as long as you follow directions. Start out with emothers rom as it is closest to stock, but allows upgrading to add more advanced features very easily. I hear it's best for newcomers. Then you can experiment with other things like Sense, 2.1, then switch back to a decent 1.6 rom.

You can always go back to the stock t-mobile rom, not root and let the OTA updates hit your phone if you decided to go back.
[G1 Android Development] BRad Barnett:
Hmm.

I've opened my HTC Dream, but I haven't been able to get my hands on a Magic..

The ram on some Magics is 288M, yes? And 192M on the Dream? This is a *huge* difference, as it takes what... 70M or so, just to load the OS, the home screen, an applet or two, and of course the 20M for the graphics chip...

So, that's a big upgrade.

Thing is, I've heard many a time, that the Magic is basically just a Dream. If so, wouldn't HTC have provided pinouts for hooking up a hardware keyboard? After all, there might have been plans to make a Dream V2.

Has anyone looked at the hardware inside, to see if it is possible to take the Magic circuit board, and slap it into a Dream? To see if the pinouts are on the board?

I'd *happily* buy a Magic, swap the hardware, and use the old Dream board + Magic case for a backup phone...

So, anyone looked?

Ah. Typical schmucky response.

Please point to where, in the service manuals, there are very-high-res images of the motherboard and daughterboards, so they can be examined in detail.

[G1 Android Development] erlern:
+ 10

:P Haha.
[G1 Android Development] BRad Barnett:
No, -10.

There was no intent to help, what so ever.

An intent to help would be:

"Yes! I have some high res pics here!"

or

"I have a dead Magic, I'll open it and see"

A smartass "go search google for service manuals, that have nothing to do with the question.. and can't help at all" isn't an attempt to help.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
you don't need 'very-high-res images' to see that what you propose is not possible
[G1 Android Development] BRad Barnett:
Really? You can verify that there are no pads for a keyboard header, on the circuit board, via those photos? Because, I couldn't tell...
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
you want to fit the boards from a magic into a dream case

look at the service manual, you will quickly see that they will not fit

for one the camera is in the wrong place

unless of course your going to fabricate a new case for your 'magic with a dream keyboard'

but carry on dreaming your magic
[G1 Android Development] goldenarmZ:
I've already told him this in an identical thread in the general section. This is the third copy of the same thread.

Don't feed the troll. :cool:
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
lol

I'll devnull the tard from now on
[G1 Android Development] BRad Barnett:
Right.

So, since you did not state this before, I believe I am correct in my prior assumption that you were simply being a smartass. That is, you read my prior thread, saw the other comments that stated what you've just stated, and decided to carry the same marlarky here.

Clearly I've already stated, especially in that other thread, that I am looking for that pad/header first.

So, how are you helping? Comparatively, how are you being destructive?

Does it harm you, or others of this board, to allow myself -- and others that would like to see the same, to get together and look for a keyboard header/pads on the Magic? Certainly not!

For example, as for the camera, it's only a hole in the back of the case. A dremel will make a nice, neat one. As for the rest of the boards? Well, that's something to see. Clearly I've heard statements about the boards... repeating them is not necessary.

Heck, I haven't even stated that I'd have to use the case from the Dream OR Magic to make this work, have I? There is more than one way to skin a cat.

Of course, even though you apparently don't want to look for the pads, or investigate the hardware directly, the fact that I'm interesting in trying seems to erk you. It also seems to erk goldenarmz for some reason. Your thoughts of "Why is he even bothering with this?!" translate into "I should post as many detracting statements as possibile in these threads, to prevent it!"

After all, if you don't want to do it, and if you don't think it's possible... why, you must come to my thread, and do everything possible to prevent others from trying!

So, please.. go ahead goldenarmz and Firerat. Continue to post "you can't do that!" messages all over my threads. That's just great! I'm sure everyone will be very thankful, that you've both done everything you can to prevent my horrible abomination!

THANK GOD EVERYONE! WE STOPPED HIM FROM CREATING FRANKENSTEIN! OUR CHILDREN ARE SAFE!!!

Come on guys.. give it a rest, ok? Let people interesting in investigating directly, do so.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
nope, didn't now about the other threads

a definition of an idiot:

someone who repeats the same action expecting different results

bye bye BRad

BRad Barnett >> /dev/null
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
an idea

buy a magic and just do it.

then show off what you did

be sure to take step by step pictures and maybe shoot a video to use in your tutorial
[G1 Android Development] BRad Barnett:
Riiiight.

Regardless of whether or not you knew of the other thread, your "go look at the manuals via how-to-search-Google smartass page" was clearly not meant to be polite, by any means. It was meant to be a smartassed statement... and you received an answer in the same vein.

Also, your definition of an "idiot", is actually a misquote, I believe it was initially a _joke_ about sanity. Of course, such a statement in itself is "idiotic", unless you think learning by trial and error is only an idiots game.

Or, did you consider yourself an idiot, when you were learning to ride a bike... fell off, and got back on? Ha-ha, look at the idiot, trying to ride a bike again -- but expecting to stay on!

Please. Again, let's be serious.

Back to myself... what precisely have I 'tried again', except for trying to post a new thread, to clear out the blather from an old?
[G1 Android Development] BRad Barnett:
Hey! I have a better idea!

How about I post a thread to a forum somewhere... and ask if anyone out there has a Magic they can look at? Maybe someone will even have a broken Magic they can look at.. so they won't sweat so much when they open it!

Wow, what a great idea! Then I can verify if there is a header/pads for a keyboard, before I buy one and perhaps waste my money!

That's such a great idea! Maybe I should try it!!

HOLY SARCASM BATMAN!

As for the pics and such, you can be damned sure I'd document any hack of the sort, if I proceed.....
[G1 Android Development] goldenarmZ:
You've asked the same question 3 times despite being told, and being shown proof that it will never, ever work.

By insisting that you want to find these "pads" where a keyboard was never intended to be fitted.. You're trying to climb the garden fence when directly behind it is a 50 foot wall of impenetrable steel - namely, the fact that your creation won't fit in the sodding case.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
if I truly repeated the same action then I would continue to fall off, no each time I got back on I did something different, hoping that it was enough to not fall off.

your not really all that smart are you

I like the idea, I don't believe it is practical

you don't need help with this, just buy a magic and try it
[G1 Android Development] BRad Barnett:
Typical of you.

I've already stated that I don't have to use the same case. I've already stated that I'm also willing to modify my case.

Again, though.. you want to run up and down, screaming IT WON'T WORK! STOP IT!! STOP!! IT WON'T WORK, OH PLEASE, PLEASE, STOP TRYING!

I BEG YOU! STOP TRYING!

EVERYONE ELSE!! PLEASE!! IF YOU HAVE A MAGIC, PLEASE DON'T LOOK FOR PADS!

Are you actually serious?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
just buy a magic, get it all working and shove it in all of our faces!!
[G1 Android Development] goldenarmZ:
I have to admire your uncrushable optimism in the face of certain failure. I have visions of your creation built into a pringles tube with an old coathanger as an aerial. I hope you enjoy your new phone when it's finished. :cool:
[G1 Android Development] ivanmmj:
There is no reason to be spamming this thread with "you can't do it, give up!" posts. I'm a bit ashamed at the attitude taken by some of you. Unless a magic user has said, no, there aren't pads, (and I don't know if any have or have not.) then let the man try.

Although, I do suggest that this is reposted in the Magic forum as they may have Magics lying around that they can test.

I'm closing the thread before it becomes a full blown flame war.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkstar De Luxe:
I'm running OpenEclair 1.2.2 on a standard UK G1. I have no swap partition, and no EXT3 on my card as I prefer the idea of keeping all my apps on my phone.

However, it would seem like I have a corrupt file system on my phone, as after a restart, apps will disappear, force close, or behave very strangely!

So my question is, how do I repair my phone filing system? Not my SD card, but the one in my phone where apps are stored?

Thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkstar De Luxe:
Rebooted again and now all my contacts are missing. Also tired running this command (don't know if it's correct)

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billquinn1:
Did you run this from recovery console? I don't think it will work from adb or terminal.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkstar De Luxe:
Yeah, I get the same error
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billquinn1:
Sorry, just reread your first post. That command is to repair your Ext2(3) partition. Since you don't have that, you would get that message. I understand why you would want to not use ext as your phone should load apps faster off the phone itself. The problem is, the rom itself needs more space than the standard rom that came with the phone. Your best bet is to wipe, partition, and reinstall OE. You could try a different rom to see how it performs without the ext for app to sd. In fact, if you find 1 that works well you should post your results to help others.

i have a G1 running 2.1 with a nexus rom. the guy i bought it from didnt reset the phone so i could put my gmail account in. i reset the phone and now it wont get past the nexus one "fireworks" boot screen.

i cant load recovery, it gives me a triangle symbol with an ! in the middle with a phone next to it. i tried alt+w and it wont go past the nexus one boot screen. ive let it load for 5-6 minutes and still nothing.

when i try to go to fastboot (power+back) i get a 4 colored screen saying the following:

DREA100 PVT 32B

HBOOT-0.95.000

CPLD-4

RADIO-1.22.12.29

Sep 2 2008

Serial0

is the phone bricked? if not what are the steps i need to do to get my phone back? any help would be greatly appreciated! i miss my phone:p
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
Looks like he reverted the SPL and recovery image to stock, but left a custom and possibly unstable 2.1 image on there. That was pretty stupid. Since its a 2.1 rom but you have the stock SPL, its possible some system files were symlinked to locations that got erased when you wiped it.

The easiest thing you can do if you don't have experience with android is revert back to rc29, re-root and start again. The clearest guide for this is at Cyanogen's site:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod

This will leave you running Cyanogen's image, not 2.1, but with a fully upgradeable and customizable phone.. you can install whatever release you like from here.

Alternatively, if you're not interested in root you can just revert to rc29 and get the official OTA updates, which will make your phone completely stock but fully functional.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silver2kgti:
right now i just want the phone to go back to "stock". if i decide to ill root it later.

what files should show on my sd card when all i want to do is go back to

rc29?

these are the 4 i have so far are these correct?

cm-recovery-1.4.img

DREAIMG.nbh

signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721 (zip file)

update (zip file)

im just doublechecking my work so i dont make any mistakes and end up bricking my phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
If you just want stock, all you need is the RC29 DREAIMG.nbh.. reboot with [camera]+[power] and it'll apply. Then you can just go into the phone options and check for OTA updates, it should upgrade automatically.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silver2kgti:
it worked. thanks very much for saving my phone!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silver2kgti:

i just went ahead and rooted it.

the only problem im having is when i go to the dialer and contacts it force closes on me...

i can dial numbers for days but i cant save my contacts or anything like that.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Achelos:
I have the European Dutch version of the Touch Pro2, details:

Versie O.S. : 5.2.21887 (21887.5.0.86) / Manila: 2.5.20121225.0

2.07.404.1 (80303) NLD / Radio : 4.49.25.91 / Prot : 61.44etc.25.35u

coreplayer used: 1.3.2 (6909 for ARM)

Now, it seems that old coded or low q encoding runs smoothly, for example Whose Line Is It Anyway Divx's.

However, when I take modern encodings it seems to run OK, but there is alot of vertical tearing, which is a shame.

Are there any "settings" or tweaks you guys can recommend me? I've tried to fiddle around with coreplayers settings myself, alas to no avail. :(

A tiny screen seems to fix the problem, however fullscreen is a drama.

(I know there are cooked roms that will fix this or are faster, but as I seem ??? to have a really new official build, I'd rather not flash)

do you guys think it would be possible to order a clearpad 3000 from synaptics with the nexus one dimensions and then open up the nexus one and replace the ****ty 3 year old clearpad 2000 with the 3000? or is this not possible due to drivers and what no
[Nexus One General] ram130:
No. Driver issues.
[Nexus One General] St.Jimmy!:
Then it's all about rewriting those drivers isn't it? Aint saying it's simple, but could it be done?
[Nexus One General] EErez:
This could be an interesting project. since android runs on multiple phones therefore it supports multiple touchscreens, so if there ever comes out a phone with the 3000 could we not take those drivers? or maybe android already has built in support?
[Nexus One General] bobdude5:
replacing the touch screen shouldnt be two hard..just a matter of opening it up and putting everything back together..Does anybody know what kind of touch screen the Droid has? or the Xperia x10? or the even the iphone because i know for a fact that the iphone supports atleast five fingers from the flute app i had on there..and what about samsung? they need to release android 2.1 because im curious to see how the samsung phones respond to multitouch

its a shame that htc chose an older screen because that just gives the big game developers another reason not to make games for android since the majority of android phones are HTC and apparently they all use the same screen.

HAHAH, sorry, had to laugh...

BUT I like the way you think... Right now the halfass multitouch screen is the one thing that pisses me off the most... I'll for sure be moving to a new phone as soon as something else makes it worth it...

The main issue I have is when I type fast I get errors due to the multitouch problem.. for instance if my left finger is up near the e and my right finger is down near the N I constantly get the Google Voice button being pressed... soooooo annoying beyond all the lame typos that happens.... ALL because of the halfass multitouch.
[Nexus One General] sassyness77:
Thinking out loud,

Just pondering this idea....

Nexus one screen size=Droid screen size

Droid can run 2.1 just fine

Doesnt that theoretically make this possible?

Has HTC said anything about using the 3000 from now on, or some sort of step up?

I would hope the nexus 2 or whatever it will be, will have real multitouch
[Nexus One General] bobdude5:
seriously! its sooooo annoying!! and it pisses me off that i payed almost 6 bills for this bad boy
