Lots of people have had good success with my tutorial (and, like always, I have to give mad amounts of credit to more peeps than I can mention here on XDA for input into that). Give it a wack. I hope it helps; buying a new battery sucks :(

As far as the MyTouchHD, from the photos (which I'm assuming are mockups, at best), there's still no physical keyboard. So, for me, I'm still looking at the Slide.

On that note, I seem to have hit a wall. I am out of contract (now for 6 months) with TMO. My current plan is $59.99/month 2 Lines + $24.99/month/phone for data. That brings me to $109.99/month (not including tax). If I upgrade to a Slide, I have to sign a new contract and be attached to TMO for 2 years. Catch is: the new plans are $59.99/month 2 lines + (now)$30/month/phone for data. Not much of an increase, I know ($119.99/month +tax), but it's still extra plus the cost of the new phone(s). I don't think I'm going to win this battle with my wife, unfortunately :rolleyes:

Well, here's hoping I can find a desperate sucker on CraigsList that needs to sell one for cheap. I am NOT spending $400+ on a new phone. At least CM 6 is in RC2 now. Once it hits stable, I'll have at least some new software to play with :D
[G1 Android Development] dustrho:
Then you should look into the upcoming G1 Blaze, which looks more like a MyTouch with a sliding keyboard.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Yeah, that I've been looking at. It's like the love child of a Nexus One and G1 :eek:

God only knows when that will actually appear in the US, though. Eh, like I said, for now, I'm sticking with my MT3G and waiting on Cy and team for CM 6. I really just don't want to renew a contract. I'm a "free spirit!"

P.S. - Just ordered a Seidio extended 1500mAh battery and a crystal clear hard case. The latter wasn't necessary, as I already have a case...but it will make it feel like a new phone :D So, case closed no pun intended) and no new phone for awhile.

But I did spend my "fun money" on my 5th tattoo and a used copy of DJ Hero!
[G1 Android Development] Flash23:
Tried searching in the thread but couldnt find... Im having picture messaging problems... I can send them out and the person gets it fine... But when some one tries to send me a picture it doesnt show up, mentions something about the size... Any help?
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Wow, the G1 Blaze looks hella good. Sad to say I had never even heard of it until your post. Thanks again for messing up my head in regards to my phone decision! lol :D

So much for dragging you down with me! lol Honestly though, with so many new phones coming along fairly soon, maybe it is a good idea to wait. I must admit, I'm geeking off that G1 Blaze right now. But the desire for a "new toy" still exists. I guess I'll just let whatever happens, happen.

PS. Hope the tattoo wasn't of a MT3GS :D
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Ha ha. No, no. It was actually Arkain2k's face on my right butt cheek facing my left...and the word "Newbie" on my left facing my right. That way, whenever I get upset, I can just clench and he has to kiss up to a Newbie! :eek:

P.S. - I hold long grudges against newbie bashers, if you haven't guessed :D Don't mess with my Newbs, baby!

Hi guys, i got a problem when update from android 1.6 to 2.1

I updated my G1 from 1.6 to Cyan 5.0.8. Everything works ok but cannot use market, browser crash after fews second and the same to email?

Anyone knows the reason and solution plz help me!

Thank you!
[G1 Android Development] mblaster:
I guess you should have wiped. You could also try just to flash the right gapps for cm5 but the settings from yout donut gapps might still stick around and cause problems...
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Haha, classic.
[G1 Android Development] k0z221:
thanks, i flashed the "Google Addon: ERE36B" on 1st page but it does not solve the problem :(

What should i do now?
[G1 Android Development] dustrho:
When you get both the case and battery, could you please take some photos of it? I'd like to see how it looks with the "extension" on the back of it. I'm also curious to know what type of battery life that will give now.

Oh, where did you order those at?
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
No physical extension, just "extension" in meaning that the stock battery is 1350mAh and the "extended" is 1500mAh. The case is just a simple hard crystal clear with no added thickness (in regards to the battery). It's also dirt cheap (which means, when I drop it and it cracks, I don't have to break the bank to buy another).

I ordered both off Amazon. Here is the battery and here is the case.

If you want the beefed up battery (which is thicker), here is one on Amazon that comes with the modified back plate (in black).

Here's a quick guide written by cracksmurf that you could follow step by step to ensure a smooth transition from stock ROMs to CM5:

Reboot phone hold home button so you boot into recovery. Hopefully you have Amon Ra's Recovery image 1.7.0

Go to console and type "u" (without the " ") press enter.

Now select option 2 and then select option 8, I think, to reboot. It's pretty straight forward. But that will just run fix permissions the easiest noob friendly way as possible.

Also, are you using a swap partition or compcache? You need to run one or the other with a G1 on any Eclair/Froyo rom.
[G1 Android Development] Oridin:
Thanks for the battery link MFS, will probably grab one for my long weekends away from home.

Hoping that someone can point me in the direction of a flashable update.zip for ADW launcher v1.0.1.

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] Arkain2K:
Try the ADW Launcher topic, the latest system releases as well as flashable zip files are always posted there :)

[G1 Android Development] Oridin:
thanks champ ... ive been in and out of a few threads searching. figured one of you gurus would have a quick link :)
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
No prob.

Here's the original link to the guy who actually made the zips (as opposed to a quoted post), just in case he changes them to reflect a new version (when it's released). Remember, you want the MDPI and NOT the HDPI one.

And dude, 1.0.1 is awesome. Faster, a few more options and just plain a smoother experience. Consider donating to him (AnderWeb, not the guy who made the zips); he does great work.

P.S. - A quick tip on searching in the XDA forums; don't rely on XDA's search too much, use Google instead (it just seems to find XDA posts better, ironically). Just throw in "XDA" in front of what you are looking for (ex. "XDA ADWLauncher 1.0.1 zip"). Works better for me.
[G1 Android Development] Oridin:
Thanks champ, I've updated it now and have noticed the improvement in speed :) ... havent had time to jump through all the options but i will do that soon!

yeah the xda search can be a bit hit and miss ... most of my searches originate in google but with this search i wasnt havent much luck.

Thanks guys ++rep!
[G1 Android Development] Arkain2K:
No problem mate. The search box doesn't help half of the time, but luckily the most interesting stuff in this box usually have their own topics (CM5, CM6, ADW Launcher, Amon Ra Recovery, battery saving tips, etc). The best way is to browse through the first couple pages in this box and bookmark/subscribe to all the ones that interests you, and check back every now and then for new updates, sometimes they gets burried very quick with all the new threads :)

Then the next time you run into someone who needs to be pointed to the right direction, you can just give them the link that you saved and they can fish for their own dinner in matter of seconds, if they're not too lazy to read that is. It's hard to believe, but there are actually people who would come into the ADW Launcher topic and ask where to download...ADW Launcher, even when the download links to the newest version are literally several posts above their own, I kid you not! :cool:

By the way, ADW Launcher 1.0.1 supports custom themes, you can grab them from the Market once you have time to fool around with it! :)

Great ROM on my MT3G but have a bluetooth issue.

This is a bt-connection to the car-audio.

With android 1.6 I didn't had any problems.

When I enter the car the connection was done and everything worked as expected.

With the 5.0.8 mod, the connection isn't be done every time (yes, bt is switched on) When I switch off bt and switch it on again, the connection is made, and I can make calls over the car system. But suddenly the connection brakes and the car audio tells me, that the connection to the phone was lost.

Any experience with this? Any known issues, workarounds?

Thanks,

Magic MT3G - 32B - CM 5.0.8
[G1 Android Development] Phk:
EXACTLY!!!!

I have an Audi A3 with Bluetooth integration.

CM 5.0.7 worked PERFECLY.

CM 5.0.8 works for the first call, but 50% of the times when I hang up a call, the phone turns off and i have to remove battery to be able to turn it on. Also, if i don't make any calls, i see the car saying "BT on". ... ... "BT off" .. .. ."BT on" .. .. . And so on..

I thought that it was a car/mobile hardware problem, but i'm glad to hear that you have this issue too =)

Devs, please, can't i <replace the bluetooth driver> from 5.0.7 into 5.0.8? What changes have been made? Or is it only kernel version?

I'd sure like to help on this one :) I'd even go crazy and code a bit myself hhehehe

guys need assitance here..

I am on radio 6.35.10.18, SPL 1.76.2007 and recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img.

this is the first time i am flashing Cynogenmod on my HTC Magic.

i am trying to flash the "update-cm-5.0.8-DS-signed.zip" but i am getting few errors like below :

assert failed: getprop('ro.product.device") == "trout" || get prop ('ro.be:unknown command [uild.product")]

getprop('ro.product.device") == "sapphire" || get prop ('ro.be.E:unknown command [uild.product")]

before flashing i was on "CM6-RC2 - FroyoRider v0.7" ROM

i did a clean wipe and Dalvik-cache

what am i doing wrong ?
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
I noticed that you said you have an HTC Magic (as in not a MT3G). That begs the question do you have a 32A or 32B board? The reason I ask is because there are different versions for each (Magic vs MT3G). And since you said Magic, 6.35.10.18 Radio and 1.76.2007 SPL, I'm going to venture a guess you have a 32A board. The link for that update (i.e. 32A boards) is on the very first page of this thread, at the bottom of Cy's first post. I think that might be your problem and fix. Give that a wack and see if that works for you.

If you don't have a 32A board, then the normal update zip is the correct one. You may have just gotten a bad download. Try re-downloading and re-flashing. It happens more frequently than you'd think.

problem with text messaging

Hi all,

I've just upgraded to 5.0.8 - fresh install after wipe. I'm having an odd problem which two days of googling hasn't helped with. I've got everything set up just as I want, so I'm reluctant to wipe and start again. So any help will be most appreciated. here's the problem: When I send a text message, the message appears not to send, i.e., a little gray envelope icon with a red clock on it appears next to the message. This icon never goes away, indicating that the message hasn't sent. In fact the messages send just fine, so this seems to be just a reporting problem. I don't have delivery reports switched on. This seems to be a problem with the messaging app.

I have one idea as to how I might have broken this, since it was working when I first installed. I was having some memory shortage problems, so I thought I'd try to use "Startup manager" to see if it was loading unnecessary stuff at boot (it was -- lots of it). I also noticed that there were two entries for several things in the "system" apps, like "messaging" and "email". I removed one of the messaging entries. I am not sure if this is what screwed it up, but it's the only thing I can think of.

Again, any help will be most appreciated!

Cheers

Simon

Edit: I'm using a HTC Dream (G1), Cyanogenmod 5.0.8, Build EPE54B

Also, after sending, the message doesn't get a date/time below it, although when I look at "view message details" it does tell me at what time & date it was sent.

Hi friends,

Till now all was running fine on my Black G1 with CM 5.0.8 DS radio 2.22.23.02, now Music and Email app are force closing suddenly... only these 2 apps are FC on my G1. I tried clear data/cache but didn't help. Guys help me fix this FCs
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
We'll need a little more info. Such as:

How long exactly have you been running 5.0.8 DS w/out problems? Hours? Days? Weeks?

Have you installed any new apps? Things such as Task Managers/Killers, Startup Maintenance Apps, and heck, even other multimedia or social related apps (considering you're having issues with music and email).

What is your setup? CompCache? Swap? How much?

Have you tried running fix_permissions? From Terminal Emulator? From recovery?

When you say you tried to clear data/cache, which one did you clear; data or (dalvik) cache? They are different options in recovery.

If you can give us some of those details, it'll help get to the root (no pun intended) of the problem faster.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
I'm going to go with exactly what you said; you removed a startup entry. Time to reflash. Good news is, you shouldn't have to wipe. Just flash CM over what you've got, plus gapps. Should be fine.

Hope you have a working Nandroid backup!

P.S. - Before you reflash, I'd uninstall the Startup Manager app.
[G1 Android Development] simple007:
Thx for your quick reply, My 5.0.8 worked perfect since the day CM released 5.0.8, i feel it happened after i updated some of the apps emm facebook, aknotepad, estrongs file manager... after these updates i am unable to launch music and email apps with fcs.

Compcache enabled, ran fix_permissions from normal and from recovery problem persist.

I did clear cache from recovery, but i couldn't find dalvik in recovery mode...

Now i restored back to 5.0.7 and will do wipe and install 5.0.8 again :(
[G1 Android Development] krazie1:
Hey G1ForFun, when Compcache and Swap are both enabled does the G1 start to slow down. Because i noticed that i had Compcache enabled and the phone was amazingly fast and great, but, idk why i enabled swap too. Then i started noticing launcher would have to reload and the home screen would take forever to get to. The question is now, What do you think is better? Compcache or Swap?
[G1 Android Development] discursively:
Thanks - restored my last nandroid and all is good again.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Just in case, you never know. Most likely, you won't need it. Just reflash and you should be fine. All your data will be OK (since you are not wiping).
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
What recovery are you using? And, FYI, don't use CompCache, use a swap partition. Works WAY better on this ROM, at least on both my phones (G1 and MT3G). Others have agreed, too. You can check my whole setup in my sig, if you want.

YES! Pick on or the other, but, again I'd personally suggest a swap partition. Works really well with this ROM. Also, upgrading to ADWLauncher 1.0.1 (check my sig) is a good idea; it has really improved.
[G1 Android Development] krazie1:
Hey My_Former_Self, thanks A Lot for your advice. This is like the 3rd time you helped me out. I appreciate it. I thought Swap was a little better too, i just kept that active. 8) One question though, should i just install ADW Launcher 1.0.1 and put as my default OR should i remove the old ADW Launcher from the system and make the New one as default there? and how would i do that?
[G1 Android Development] G1sanju:
Please see the link below, it has flashable zip files, which can be flashed from recovery.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7262137&postcount=1993
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
No prob for the help. That's what we're here for. And as far as the launcher, remember what I said in my original reply?

Just click the link in my signature below any of my posts and it'll take you to the original post for the zip to flash from recovery. Just slap the zip onto the root of your SD Card, reboot to recovery and apply the zip. No wipe needed (as always, Nandroid backup first, just in case). This will replace your current ADWLauncher with the new one (v1.0.1). NOTE: Always use the MDPI versions, the others are for higher res phones. Pay attention to the CM version, too (i.e. 5.0.8 and 6).

By the way, I mention original post, because I like to give credit to the person who originally made the files (in this case, beav_35) and not to a reposting. And this is in no way in disrespect to G1Sanju's reply (he was helping and that's always appreciated). I'm just a firm believer that proper cred is due when someone compiles something and I just feel it's better to do it that way is all. That might all be semantics, but that's my $0.02 and linking that way in my sig is my way of showing appreciation. OK, sermon over :D
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Update: Swappiness

FYI, to all that I've talked to about swap and such, I'm now back at 40 swappiness and still with a 64MB swap partition.

I was testing out 100 swappiness for awhile due to a slight lag in my launcher - which the 100 swappiness fixed mostly - but (on accident, but still) I recently found the lag to be due to a particular clock widget; a binary clock. Yes, binary. I know, I know. [Sigh] I'll give you all a moment for the "geek" comments...

...and we're back :D Anyways, for those that have looked to me for swap related issues, just posting in on my current setup. As always, it's reflected in my sig. No binary widget anymore (sad times), but I'm rolling 40 swappiness and flying high. Though 40 swappiness may work well for me, it may not work well for you. If you are using Swapper2, as I am, to set the swappiness, then you understand just how easy it is to mess around with the swappiness number and find a setting that fits you best.

NOTE: For those that do not understand what swappiness is, the higher the number (10-100), the more the system uses the swap partition to cache. You can think of it as a percentage rate, in a way. Hope that helps curb a few questions.

P.S. - Anyone tried out ADWLauncher 1.0.1's Secondary Actions Buttons feature? For some reason, I just noticed it for the first time today. Sweetness, baby. Sweet-ness.
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
Guys, I have a very strange problem. About 2 hours ago I was out and was making a call via bluetooth, suddenly the phone froze, got an FC on the dialer and it wouldn't respond, so I did the 3-finger salute, like I actually do every now and then. Now the phone is stuck in a bootloop. I pulled the battery, nothing. I booted to recovery and tried clearing dalvik cache, rebooting, nothing. Went to console, ran fix_permissions, rebooted, nothing.

Ran a logcat and this is what came up:

http://www.xyrcncp.com/android/logcat1.txt

Couldn't attach it to the site because it's over limit.

Eventually the phone booted up (about 30 minutes), but it's FC-city. From the log it looks like no permissions are set, but I've ran fix_permissions 3 times now and it doesn't seem like it's doing anything as I don't see it saying anything about changing permissions, it's just going through all of the applications.

Edit: gave up and restored to a backup from 2 weeks ago. Now all is well. Strange.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
This is why I use Titanium Backup. I Nandroid Backup, too, but not as frequently as TB. That way, even if I have to Nandroid back to a few weeks ago or, worse yet, flat wipe and reflash from scratch, I can still just run my little TB batch and get all my lovely apps (and their data) back again. I can't recommend it enough (well worth the donate).

As far as your problem...I blame Steve Jobs. He's also responsible for global warming, war, and poverty :D

Hi Guys,

i own a HTC Hero, but a friend asked me to root his G1 and flash a Custom Rom.

Now i'm looking which one i will flash, and i know Cyanogens Work, so i think it will be the most stable and fast Rom for the G1, am i right?

Just a short question, should i flash the addon and the Kernel update right after the Rom? Or should i make a boot first?

If you have more tips, give them to me, i never flashed a G1 ;)

[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
CM5 is really good. Follow instructions to a tee. Flash GApps addon right after CM. No reboot necessary inbetween.

Btw, the 1-click-Root-App will not work for me, right? Or can i install Custom Roms with it? I think it does not change the Bootloader, so i have to use the Goldcard Method, right? Sorry for Offtopic!
