Hello Fellows well today i m going to root my G1 after searching a-lot but before buying the G1 i came to know that i will be able to install apps directly to my sd card but after experiencing G1 i wasn't able to install aps directly to MicroSD card..Ok now the main ques that i want to know before rooting my G1:)

1- i came to know that if i use Eclair/Hero<--(mainly these) or anyother rom i wouldn't able to use qwerty keyboard , i have to use the on screen touch keyboard which i dont like..

2- if i would able to use qwerty keyboard on Eclair or anyother Rom then its fine else is there is any rom of Motorola Milestone or anyother qwerty keyboard based android phones rom which i can run on my G1 because i m not useto with onscreen Keyboards:)

3 - the keyboard Issue : i have shown an example of the error which i m facing right now like when i type

9 or y it automatically types y9

wel some of the users will say to google it ... come on i know how to google .. but if i have to google then y i make threads here for Help.. plz expreties i really need ur help ..well right now i m using 1.6 donut-unrooted G1-DRC92
[G1 General] mejorguille:
1. You can use the keyboard on G1 with Eclair and Sense roms.

2. Keyboards work already.

3. Probably a hardware issue? Maybe something is jammed under the keyboard or something....

This site has a good tutorial on rooting your phone. Its easy, downgrade, install 1-click-root, and install your custom rom. I recommend Cyanogenmod/SupedD/AOSP (speedy 1.6), or MLING's Hero 3.2B (Hero 1.5), or OpenEclair (2.1), or Vega's legend port (Hero 2.1). 2.1 roms have some missing things that make them perfect (camcorder etc).
[G1 General] jamb:
hmmm ok thanks mate going to try now...but isn't there any keyboard fix kinda thing that i can try before opening my G1:(
[Hero CDMA General] Time_Lord:
For the most part I must say that the leaked 2.1 ROMS are a lot more stable and functional than the 1.5 ever was however I have a couple of annoying problems with the 2.1 ROM that I was hoping either somebody here knows how to fix or hopefully they are fixed in the released version of the 2.1 ROM

1) Ring Lag, it still exists, it was bad with the 1.5 ROM (HTC noted there was a problem) but I still have it with the 2.1 ROM, the phone lights up on the 2nd ring (as heard by the caller) and starts playing its ring tone on the 3rd ring (that's at least a 1 ring improvement over the 1.5 ROM). (on 1.5 after pulling the debugging logs from the phone I was able to confirm that it took 11 seconds to light up the screen after receiving the incoming callers phone number and it still hadn't played the ring tone... adjusting the slot number won't help this)

2) I can't Roam with the 2.1 ROM and I suspect this problem will go away with the official 2.1 ROM,

3) I may still have some missing apps from the market for example I tried "google earth" and wasn't able to find it but google goggles and so far everything else I've tried shows up so I'm not sure what the problem is.

4) the touchscreen still lags but not nearly as bad as 1.5, with 1.5 you type a number and it sits there on a digit for a second or two.

I tried one of the recent ROMS that had a task killer and found that the phone became sluggish and programs stopped randomly, right now I'm running the following and seem to be happy with it.

Firmware version 2.1-update1

Baseband version 2.42.00.03.10

kernel version - 2.6.29-d30020a8 htc-kernel@amd18-2#1

Build number

RegawMOD v2.0.2p

Software number - 2.20.651.1

Browser version -WebKt 3.1

PRI Version - 1.68_003

PRL Version - 60663

Chose the above ROM because it seemed to have been left pretty much stock minus the Sprint Bloatware.

Two of my biggest gripes seem to be solved, the brain dead bluetooth seems to work a lot better and I can reliably pair with the headunit in my car without turning the phone's bluetooth off and then on every time I want to use the bluetooth. The severe touchpad lag seems to be gone, I can now (usually) dial a number but I do find that occasionally menus don't always open properly or the keyboard lags behind my typing, but it doesn't "freeze" line 1.5 did.

Thanks to all that participated getting 2.1 on the CDMA Hero and for all the hardwork that has gone into getting the 2.1 ROMs out.

-TL
[Hero CDMA General] TrevE:
For ring lag try the fix for damagecontrol i posted http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6217827&postcount=2129

dont know about roaming

google earth doesnt work for some reason. It just closes as soon as it opens with some error about loading libs

I dont feel the 'digit lag' your talking about. some people feel more lag on xda keyboard over the regular keyboard though...
[HD2 General] JonFolse:
I got a question. I have noticed that multiple times when my phone is less than 10% battery life, it will start freezing on me. The screen will freeze. Has anybody else experienced this??? Particularly when Im using Opera 9.7
[HD2 General] JonFolse:
idk its weird. I just plugged my phone back in and started using Opera without a hitch.
[HD2 General] aceo07:
(I've only dropped below 10% about 10 times.)

I haven't noticed any issues with low battery. The only annoyance is that it will disconnect my bluetooth headset once it drops down to 10%. :p I am using stock software except for CHT and Bsbtweaks.
[HD2 General] JonFolse:
Oh. Maybe it just has to do with Opera and the battery then???
[HD2 General] kevev:
Both of my original Units did this. Got replacements with the new yellow reset button under the battery cover and they are good now.
[HD2 General] jcbofkc:
What is the difference between units with a yellow reset button and a red reset button? I just received a replacement unit in the mail and has the yellow. I was told it would be a new phone. Does a yellow button indicate a refurbished unit?
[HD2 General] toreone:
Yellow Button

I have read a few times people refer to the Buttons. I am thinking the red button was in the very first round of HD2s and I am thinking that batch contained a system bugs. The ones with the yellow buttons are updated I think so people are having less issue with those phones. Mine has the yellow and dont have most of the problems other people have
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
I just bought a brand new one yesterday, from a Tmobile corporate store, hadn't been off the UPS truck for more than 30 minutes, and it had the yellow reset button in it.
[HD2 General] Reignzone:
People can speculate all they want on forums about why HTC decided to change something so insignificant... when realisitically the only reason for that change was to make the soft reset button more visible to the naked-eye.

There is no such "upgraded" unit. Companies do not finance creating several "different models" of the same device for the same country. That would be a total legal fiasco.

Anyway, aside from all of that... I have the unit with a RED reset key, considering I had mine 4 days prior to the initial launch of the phone.

No issues, none at all.
[HD2 General] Dericslab:
Hi there

My HD2 has a red reset button but I have never heard of a difference between red or yellow reset buttons, and did not even know there were different button colours.

However, I am having the same problem where the unit hangs when the battery is slow.

(I have noticed that the phone would have two bars, but after the reset it would be on one bar)

I am still looking for a solution to this, and will post if I find one.

If you have in the mean time found a solution, please be so kind as to post it.

Many thanks

[Hero CDMA General] amallama:
does anyone have any instructions for apps2Sd for the 2.1 rom? I have no idea what I'm doing with this, and Im tired of not having any space on my phone to dl apps! thanks for any help in advance.
[Hero CDMA General] troyboytn:
if you are running an a2sd enabled rom,

1. backup your entire sd card to your pc

2. boot into recovery

3. select to partition sd

4. partition to ext 2 and then to ext 3

5. use the default settings of 32mb swap / 512mb data

6. reboot

7. move your previous data back to your sd from your pc

you should be good to go. if you start seeing a significant drop in system memory, go back to recovery and flash the attached zip
[Hero CDMA General] Coldheat1906:
What if is the 32mb swap & the 512mb Data sizes for? What happens if I make them bigger?
[Hero CDMA General] troyboytn:
actually, you can set swap at 0 (its not used anyway, unless you are gonna use the new Fresh Toast rom)

you can set data to be larger if you like (though not needed unless you are gonna install ALOT of mega mb apps)
[Hero CDMA General] Coldheat1906:
Thanks, besides that is there anything else that I need to do or can I just start downloading apps..... Also how can I verify that they are going to my sd card?
[Hero CDMA General] dec3ption:
go into your command prompt...

adb remount

adb shell

cd /data/app

pwd

if it says /system/sd/app your apps2sd is working! if it says /data/app, it's not
[Hero CDMA General] Coldheat1906:
ok,....now I really feel like a noob.....

When I try to do a adb remount it says "device not found"

I also do have "USB Debug" selected.

Edit: Ok.... had to re-install the SDK..... I think it's working now.
[Hero CDMA General] amallama:
Thanks

Im flashing my rom right now so I will see how this works out
[Hero CDMA General] amallama:
I have a problem

Im using the Fresh rom with android 2.1 which should have app2sd enabled, but for some reason my apps dont go the sd card? Any help with this, I 've formatted based on the instructions, but it doesnt seem to work for me?
[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
I beg to differ...the A2SD version 2.5 will activate swap if it sees the partition. That's the file you posted as part of the instructions.
[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
Validate by doing this:

1. At your computer (in the Android SDK Tools directory), type adb shell

2. Once you are in an adb shell, type ls -l /data

3. Look for the entries app and app-private. The two entries should look like the following:

app -> /system/sd/app

app-private -> /system/sd/app-private

If they don't, you'll need to validate you have an ext3 partition on your sd card.

If you do, download A2SD version 2.5 from http://www.darktremor.com/files/misc/a2sd-2.5-signed.zip and put it on your SD card (in the same place you put custom roms). Go into recovery and flash this file (it won't erase anything...it's just going to install a2sd version 2.5). Reboot phone and perform the same steps above.

If it still isn't working, PM me and I'll continue to help you.
[Hero CDMA General] troyboytn:
will it activate swap on any rom?, is it required? can it actually just be left at 0 (users choice) to not use swap?

dont mean to step on toes here, just realized this is your creation (guess you know more than I).....sorry if I spewed some misinfo :-)
[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
No problem...the previous version (2.0) didn't turn on swap...that was actually handled by another routine from my Darktremor kernel (never released...that's why you never seen it).

If you don't want to activate swap, you can go into the phone and type /system/bin/a2sd noswap. It will put a flag file on the system that, if present, will tell a2sd not to use swap file although one is present.

Swap is not required. If a2sd doesn't see the swap partition, it simply won't activate swap...all other functions will activate as normal.

It will activate swap on any rom provided that the swap partition is using /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 (third partition on the SD card). The sd partition feature on the RA Recovery does this automatically.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panzival:
I have tried searching the forums but have found nothing yet, so I was hoping someone could help me. I am currently using Enomther's rom, but this has happened on every rom I've tried (Desire, Cyan, etc.). My problem is the Nexus One is running 100% of the time. In comparison, the screen was on for 5.2% of the time. And I have definitely noticed the battery. Even if in standby, it loses 10-20% battery an hour. By the time I make it home from school, I have about 20% battery left, with almost no usage whatsoever. I've checked to see if it's any apps that won't close, but my highest used app was only a few minutes according to spare parts. Cpu usuage is barely visible as well in spare parts.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robert-qfh:
Looks like an application is holding the wake lock. Instant Messengers are good candidates for draining the battery. In my experience, Meebo loses connection frequently, and eBuddy has a mode to keep the connection, but it drains the battery very fast (AFAIR it has a mode that's easier on the battery by checking for messages every 15 minutes, but that's not all that instant anymore).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Good job you have AnyCut installed.

Use it to place a shortcut to the 'Testing' app (or dial *#*#4636#*#*), and use that to look at your battery history.

This will be able to confirim if your N1 is indeed staying awake, and if you use the 'partial wake usage' drop down box, it will tell you what's keeping it that way.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panzival:
For partial wake usage, the only thing that pops out Android System which has a full bar. Nothing else is above a sliver.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcxquake:
Since you have titanium backup, why not make a backup, completely wipe your phone, and see if the problem persists? Then, add components at a time and see when the problem reappears. ie ROM -> a few apps -> a few apps -> etc. This will narrow down your search and hopefully pinpoint the problem.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robert-qfh:
You also might wanna look at logcat (e.g. via aLogCat), sometimes there are a lot of messages of runaway applications.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panzival:
No, but I did have trackball wake enabled. Would that matter? Also, I've installed Cyan and the problem seems to be gone, although battery still isn't great :/
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grooby97:
I would figure that trackball wake will keep waking your phone when you accidentally hit the trackball when the phone is in your pocket or bags?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
One thing to check that I've run in to twice (unfortunately) is constant "syncing" of email. I only noticed it because the email app constantly showed the syncing circle (not in the notification bar, in the app). Clearning the storage/settings for email cleared it up, but it took a few days to find out what was causing it to never sleep.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panzival:
Yes but my phones running 100% of the time and my screens running 1/20 of that time. Surely my screen on time would increase as well? As well I'm sitting in class half the day and know for sure that I'm not hitting the trackball.

Thanks, I'm going to look into this. Would this correspond to UID 10014 or Media having extremely high network usage as well? I just noticed these two things constantly have full network usage bars but don't know exactly what either are. How would I clear the settings/storage? I'm using a Desire Rom now if it matters.

[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
It might be a conflicting app you have downloaded. See whats running on your phone or in the background.

I dont know if you are running a2sd. But it seems to cut down on problems like that. It used to do it to me all the time back on 1.5 roms without a2sd.

The app i had problems with was PoliceScanner.. I would delete it and everything would work again.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AngelDeath:
I had this problem when I was flashing different roms, this worked for me once, and the other time it didnt and had no choice to delete the msgs (If thats an option for you) the first time with the HTC I went and changed the sms to traditional mode, and then exited (Thru task manager in the start menu) sms, then powered down the phone, then turned it back on and then went back to sms and changed it back to conversation mode and it fixed it, the second time that didnt work, because some how the time date stamp of the msgs got messed up and it was putting msgs inbetween msgs, so since the first way didnt work, I just backed it up and then cleared my sms. But try the first way and see if that fixes your problem.

I ran into the same problem when trying to apply the audio fix zip. I ended up having to wipe my sd partition to get it to finally boot. Just living with the audio problem for the time being, until we get a rom that doesn't have it. Everything else is working fine for me so I just reboot regularly.
[Hero CDMA General] danknee:
First run adb logcat to see what the problem is.

Second, did you wipe data, dalvik and ext before you flashed? If not, pull your battery, wipe all three and reflash.

Third, if the above two didn't fix your issue then pull your battery, wipe all three, and reflash something else that doesn't freeze on you.
