[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] laydros:
I dig connectbot so far. simple interface to use for local access, or for ssh. The keyboard is the downside as ChrisDos said. However when you search the market for connectbot, you will also get a keyboard in the search results that is free, and designed for console use. I think called Total Keyboard or Full Keyboard or something, and it is free. Not very good, but it allows arrow keys, and ctrl-key combos.

Connectbot on a G1 was part of what convinced me to give up my iPhone, with the ability to both hit tab, esc, and ctrl-combos, all without digging through menus.

When I started on my quest to land a good Android phone, keyboard was pretty high up on the list, but something about the EVO made me give up on that.

I am really hopeing we get a pretty full-proof method for keyboard support either through bluetooth, or usb host (like the N1) in the near future.

Howdy all,

I'm new to these forums and figured I'd just introduce myself and say hello (as I do on all forums I join).

I'm Rozza C and I currently own a G1 Android phone. I've been browsing the forums for a long time now, but never took the plunge to join, until now.

Anyway, that's about all I have to say.

Look forward to seeing you all in the forums! =)

My friend had a G1 than got a nexus one.... pretty sweet phone. Im new also, trying to figure out what I want to get on my miniscul budget LOL
[Off-topic] Rozza C:
Yeah I'm nearing the end of my contract now, so I'll be able to upgrade soon.

Problem is...I don't have any money, seeing I just finished university and haven't found a job yet! =O

So I might be sticking with the G1 for a little while longer...
[Off-topic] mozkam:
^ Understand... except different situation. Got a job but a wife(well fiance) and child who suck all the money I earn away from me LOL...

Im thinking I'll go with a G1 myself also or a HTC tilt 2..... G1 would have to be unlocked (go AT&T)
[Off-topic] Rozza C:
LOL

I'm in the UK and I'm happy with my current network (T-Mobile)...

I just hope they give me a good renewal deal...
[Off-topic] captainstu72:
Welcome to XDA - you'll soon find yourself getting addicted!

t-mobile were doing the desire on an upgrade for free from what i remember, this was about 2 weeks ago though, but that does depend on your tariff! (this was for £25 a month)

They're decent phones, my brother got one recently and they beat the pants of my hero.... bring on that 2.1 update.....

Hi Rozza C.

Just a few tips to make friends...

Post questions in threads that have nothing to do with the actual topic

Start new threads, asking questions that are the top-most answered questions in the forum

Download cabs from developers that have spent a great deal of time making a product, and then post it as your own work and take credit for it

Yeah, basically don't do any of the above and you'll be okay ;)
[Off-topic] nebenezer:
HAHAHA

I'm tempted to add to this list but I can see that going down a dark road, no sense in getting this thread locked :D

Welcome to XDA Rozza!!

Keep THIS THREAD in mind if in the next couple months you start forgetting to do things like eat and go to work. There is help if you fall too far down the hole :D
[Wildfire General] Obelixossauro:
Good afternoon everyone. Does the HTC Wildfire will be as desired Froyo? It would be fantastic... :)
[Wildfire General] Obelixossauro:
So, nobody knows if the Froyo (Android 2.2) will equip the Wildfire?
[Wildfire General] Fallen Angel:
As every review says, it won't. It will be 2.1 Android. And I heard some saying Froyo requires ARMv7 processor architecture and Wildfire has ARMv6. So...

And why do ya need this Froyo? So nifty features of Android 2.2? :)
[Wildfire General] MacaronyMax:
Root it and create a custom rom with froyo (it's not realy tht simple but owell..)

with custom toms on the hero it can run froyo ad the wildfire is slightly faster than hero soo it should be able to run :D
[Wildfire General] Obelixossauro:
Maybe...

I read about that possibility here:

http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2010/0...froyo-update-promised-other-phones-to-follow/
[Wildfire General] Obelixossauro:
Well, Froyo is confirmed on Wildfire...:

So true and So BEAUTIFUL!

I'm a proud htc desire owner but my girlfriend bought wildfire (in exchange for her hd mini) Terrific news tbh!
[Wildfire General] sian88:
will the wilfire be getting flash 10.1?

(as now it is confirmed for froyo)
[Wildfire General] Obelixossauro:
I do not have this information, but soon, I hope, someone will give the explanation. :)
[Wildfire General] Obelixossauro:

Support HTC Wildfire Campaign

Are you are as fed up as me and countless other HTC Wildfire owners, waiting for the Froyo 2.2 update that is always coming but never gets here? I have a campaign running on my blog to demand a solid answer from HTC. As it stands HTC won't confirm or deny anything concerning this topic. Fair enough, they might be delayed and that would be forgiveable if they could at least be up front and reassure us that we will be getting the update, just a couple of months late. Please vote on my poll or add a comment. I am particularly interested in any responses you may have had from HTC in regards to this. Help to lobby HTC.

You can find the poll at: 'HTC Wildfire Android Heaven' (I am not allowed to post the url at the moment)

[Legend Android Development] MichaelAlexanderBull:
UPDATE:

No more Updates to Rom as the new VanillaBean rom has made it obsolete!

I highly recommend flashing VanillaBean for anyone who wants the complete stock android experience :)

However i will be working on a froyo port for the time being!

Based on 2.03.405.3 , has LiveWallpapers , Now LauncherPro - which looks really good!

Still working on getting Eclair Lockscreen working!

No Sense or Sense Widgets.

Left in HTC Camera App, People App, and Phone App

Update:

FBsync Working,

Unlock with Menu/Home built in

Based on LauncherPro

VeryFast, Zero Lag

Stock Messaging app works

Progress on Eclair screen, slightly broken, but better than before ( the slider is in the wrong position, but it is actually there now )

To Do list :

Fix Eclair Lockscreen

Cannot Change Lockscreen wallpaper - FC

Will try to add any requests into updates , so constructive criticism is wanted :)

Note:

There was 2 FC's for me on first boot, restart after setup and then they should be gone forever.

Also Temporary fix for Lockscreen, Download Lockbot from the market - You can then install the HTC, iPhone, or Eclair lockscreen

Download :

http://www.2shared.com/file/jNeq8AgV/StrippedSenseless11.html

A2SD Version :

Uploading...

Note - For A2SD rom, Create EXT2 Partition, 32mb Swap, and then Covert EXT2 - EXT3

^^ Lockscreen with lockbot 'Flan' setting
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
why didn't you use the 2.03.405.3 rom?

thanks a lot for you works! i'll sure try as soon as you finish the upload :D
[Legend Android Development] seb93:
Thanks a lot for the livewallpapers, but will you fixed this probleme in your other rom ? ( the rom with sense )
[Legend Android Development] MichaelAlexanderBull:
I will build one with that rom now then for the next update :)
[Legend Android Development] crubbish:
Thanks for the rom Michael. Does it have stock google messages and calendar apps?
[Legend Android Development] MichaelAlexanderBull:
Stock calender i think, but still sense Messages. If you can point me to some stock apks i will happily include them i just couldn't find any.

[Legend Android Development] Iryia:
cool

this exactly the reason why I would root my Legend :) Can you please please PLEASE add the circle battery mod into your ROM? I find it to be 100x better than the stock battery indicator :)
[Legend Android Development] MichaelAlexanderBull:
Can you send me a link to this battery mod please :) then i will include it.

A2SD is not included but i will make one with it if you wish.

..double post
[Legend Android Development] Iryia:
I`m a big android noob but from what is in the thread (within the Desire forum btw) it seems it works only on de-odexed roms. Also I`m not sure what the size of the icons is considering the Desire/N1 have a higher ress screen.

Can`t post the link unfortunately but here is the path within the forum:

xda-developers > HTC Desire > Desire Themes and Apps

[HOW-TO] Circle battery with % in the middle (rooted)

Anyway. Thanks for your work so far on the ROM. Can you please estimate how much space is saved when you deleted all the sense ui applications?
[Legend Android Development] MichaelAlexanderBull:
I will try to include battery mod :)

Em Its around 170mb 160mb ish?
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
Can you add this file?

/system/usr/keylayout/

It's a mod to wake up using menu or home button!

Thanks a lot for your work!

-- edit --

ah and why don't you release also the rom without the radio?

it's safer flash without that!

Thanks again! :)
[Legend Android Development] MichaelAlexanderBull:
Ok, Added an .zip attachment for Unlock with menu. Not sure if it will work, so if trying Nandroid backup before!

Yeah i will upload one without Radio in a minute :)
[Legend Android Development] MOIYKE!:
I would definitely welcome the stock android messaging app if possible to cook it into the rom. I'm yet to get into the details of cooking... Thou would perhaps the Mms.apk from cyanogen or another phone work, or would it require to be resigned etc???
[Legend Android Development] MichaelAlexanderBull:
Ok, i will try to include that. Nah if you change the update_script to include it, then when the whole zip is signed everything is signed, not individually :)
[Legend Android Development] MOIYKE!:
sounds good. I can probably get a hold of the Mms.apk from cyanogen or off my friend's motorola milestone if that would help.

p.s. don't boo me if i talk crap
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
amazing :p

i just tried the zip but i think the /system/usr/keylayout/legend-keypad.kl

is not updated!

tomorrow i'll download and test the rom!
[Legend Android Development] MichaelAlexanderBull:
I have updated the unlock zip :) can you please re-flash it?

EDIT:

AAAH. Sorry did it wrong. AGAIN.

EDIT AGAIN:

There we go, that is it fixed i think.
[Legend Android Development] MichaelAlexanderBull:
Thanks but i have the .apk on my computer atm :p just trying to put in the rom now haha
[Legend Android Development] MOIYKE!:
Awesome! Good stuff by the way. I'll def be testing the rom if you get the stock messaging working.
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
missing update script..

but i see it into the zip file..

how do you sign the package/rom?
[Legend Android Development] MichaelAlexanderBull:
Hmm...with the Auto-signer..

I'm away to bed, I will look at it tomorrow :)
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
i'll try to fix it!

Good night!
[Legend Android Development] seb93:
A2SD doesn't work :s

All apps aren't install on the SD but on the phone
[Legend Android Development] BicolXpress:
post a screen shot please.

i'm gonna try your rom when i get home.
[Legend Android Development] crubbish:
Thanks for trying Michael! It seems quite a number of people are willing to have stock Android on their Legends so your efforts are certainly appreciated. Good luck!
[Legend Android Development] seb93:
There is a problem in this ROM :

We can't sync a facebook account with the mobile ... :-s
[Legend Android Development] MichaelAlexanderBull:
Ok, sorry for any bugs. First release.

I am going out all of today so cannot update it, but tomorrow i will fix A2SD and look at the fb sync thing, and i will post a screen shot
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
Wake up legend pressing Home/Menu button!

Double pressing menu will wake up and unlock!

---

i just tried that and it works good.. i removed all file exept the one that need to change..

waiting for feedback!
[Legend Android Development] seb93:
what is it ? :confused:
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
ya sorry i did'nt wrote anything! :D

it's a update to wakeup the legend pressing home button or menu button (and not only power button)
[Legend Android Development] seb93:
ok ok =D

i will try it now

we flash it in recovery ?
[Legend Android Development] Fezze:
is it HTC lockscreen or Eclair lockscreen? if it is Htc Lockscreen is it possible to fix Eclair?
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
yes i tried a couple of time and it seems to work good..
[Legend Android Development] BicolXpress:
tested it and it works great =). thanks
[Legend Android Development] dirkkuyken:
Nice work !

Have you tried to use the trackpad-button to unlock ?
[Legend Android Development] crubbish:
It works fine, thanks! I'd second the request to enable trackpad button for wake up as well. For 2 reasons: 1) trackpad button is least likely to be pressed in the pocket and 2) plastic buttons don't seem very robust, so it's a good thing in my opinion to save 1 extra press...

Thanks again Neon87
[Legend Android Development] MichaelAlexanderBull:
This zip should have that added :)

Edit..nope, not working
[Legend Android Development] nofear2k:
Great rom, to bad that facebook sync is broken
[Legend Android Development] MichaelAlexanderBull:
I will fix fb sync today
[Legend Android Development] sackynuts:
Looking forward to play with this when FB sync is working. Your work is really appreciated :-)
[Legend Android Development] crubbish:
Thanks! Will test tonight.
[Legend Android Development] Raphyo:
Hi,

Your rom but with HTC widgets, would be absolutly perfect for me.

Could you add them ? Or I maybe can add them myself if someone know how to do.
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
I can't right now because trackpad button is not considered like others button.. i have to modify the kernel..

you can modify only:

HOME

MENU

BACK

SEARCH

(ENDCALL) not present

POWER

VOLUME_UP

VOLUME_DOWN
[Legend Android Development] MichaelAlexanderBull:
What Widgets are you wanting? It's not possible to use HTC widgets without sense, but there are lots of widgets on the market that are equal to or better than the HTC ones :)
[Legend Android Development] Raphyo:
I need theses ones (wich are nice and usefull) :

Calendar widgets (1of 3), Clock widget (5of 12), profile, mobile network, sync all, weather (3 of 3), mode switchher, and the little music widget.

If you have this, I would be (very) thankful.
[Legend Android Development] nofear2k:
When will the v1.1 A2SD version be ready? Your work is appreciated.
[Legend Android Development] MichaelAlexanderBull:
Hmm, i am having some trouble with it, i think i am using an older version as when i compare it to the MoDaCo rom the files are in different places etc..

Can someone point me in the right direction?
[Legend Android Development] seb93:
Sorry i would like help you but i don't know how to do :(
[Legend Android Development] Fezze:
is there a way to remove the feature to unlock with home/menu button? i only want to use the power button to unlock, because the home/menu button is so easy to press in my pocket, (sorry for my bad english),
[Legend Android Development] lyka:
Yes just flash key_POWER_update-signed.zip
[Legend Android Development] Fezze:
thank you very much, work'd perfect! :)

I can confirm, i did that and so far it's working. Thanks pogo1975 for your work.

:)

ali ba has get the flan lockscreen to work :) ask him how he did it :) mabye he can help you :)
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
This is about the coolest thing you can imagine.

DEATHSPL is OBSOLETE.

We can repartition these things -- to ANY layout we like -- withOUT changing or modifying the SPL!

This is even compatible with a STOCK SPL! I.e. 0.95.0000.

This is something I discovered while looking at the MTD drivers.

The mtd drivers accept partition table specified on the KERNEL COMMAND LINE! And this SUPERSEDES the automatic table discovery method.

This is the command line argument for STOCK partition layout:

mtdparts=msm_nand:256k@0x24c0000(misc),5120k@0x26c0000(recovery),2560k@0x2bc0000(boot),69120k@0x2e40000(system),69120k@0x71c0000(cache),76544k@0xb540000(userdata)

You can boot a kernel with a modified partition table using one of two methods;

the "-c" parameter to fastboot allows you to add kernel parameters. This is good for booting RECOVERY images and applying custom layouts.

The second method is to build the custom layout into your boot.img or recovery.img.

This can be done using the "--cmdline" parameter to mkbootimg.

Notes: The smallest possible partition is 128k.

The partition sizes must be MULTIPLES of 128k and must start on an offset that is a multiple of 128k. The memory size is 256MB precisely.

Note: DO NOT modify ANYTHING before the START of the boot partition, i.e. offset 0x2bc0000. If you do, it won't boot!

***** EDIT:

We now have a BETA implementation of this concept: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6916491&postcount=39

Thanks go to Firerat, who did the actual implementation work in converting CM 5.0.8 to this process.

Also thanks to skraw at CM forums who asked a silly question that started the gears a crankin and ended up getting this as an answer.

** just goes to show that there is no such thing as a stupid question.
[G1 Android Development] xaueious:
Sweet stuff!

Now we can finally reduce the size of that useless cache partition. And ROM devs can actually fit anything they want without a headache.

This should be leaps and bounds more useful on the phones with more ROMs space like the 32A Magic, where the cache is absurdly large.
[G1 Android Development] zim2dive:
I'll ask a silly question, and full intent not to derail the thread.. why have partitions at all? (do they accomplish some level of protection that simple unix privs do not if /system, /data, /cache, etc were all on the same partition?) Hopefully not a super stupid question (I understand their use on my home linux box, but fail to see what value they add here)
[G1 Android Development] maxisma:
I already pointed this out months ago.. but no one ever tried to make a use out of it.
[G1 Android Development] defconoi:
sweeeeeet! good ****, someone make sure cyanogen knows about this.
[G1 Android Development] mattv888:
mhmm... this is awesome! But for all those who already have Death SPL, could this increase the amount of space even further?
[G1 Android Development] Macrophage001:
Yeah Im curious about that too :confused:
[G1 Android Development] goldenarmZ:
Yes, in theory.. I'm not sure how usable it would be, but purely theoretically you should be able to drop cache and userdata to 128k, mount them both on the sdcard instead and flash a 200mb+ system image.

With a bit of modification to the way we flash images at the moment, there's no reason devs can't include a custom partition layout to fit the requirements of every release.

This is an awesome find by both lbcoder and maxisma, who seem to have discovered it independently.. I totally missed maxisma's annoucement though :p

Whoever found it first, this rules.
[G1 Android Development] Macrophage001:
This would be really awesome to see can't wait
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
Wait for what?

This is something that everyone can do for themselves!

All you need is a calculator (to calculate memory offsets and sizes), the first post of this thread, and this:

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images

unpack your boot.img, mkbootimg it back with the specified kernel command line, shove it into your update.zip (or fastboot it into the phone), and you're done-ish.

Take the most recent CM for example:

1) extract boot.img, unpack it, repack it with the kernel command line specified (modified to your specifications), put it back in the update.zip, resign, and put it on your sdcard.

2) Phone in fastboot mode, fastboot -c "same kernel command line as boot.img is packed with" boot recovery.img, flash your update.zip, done.

And then every time the phone boots up, it'll have the customized partition table since it is built into the boot.img.
[G1 Android Development] haozheng91:
with this custom partition layouts, do we also need to do something to the recovery to make nandroid/bart recognize the new layout?
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Same steps as the rom, just ensure you *never* flash *any* spl or radio for any reason from a re-partitioned recovery with a cache partition that does not match the spl's actual cache start location. Or you will be in the market for a jtag adapter to fix your brick.

Making this user friendly will need some configuration work.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
There's security built in to that process....

the cache partition has to get a special header applied in order for the update to be taken, and if the spl or radio partition was mapped differently, this header will be badly broken. I believe that there are also checksums on the spl and radio images that should be checked by the SPL prior to actually installing them. Part of the reason for this is to ensure that the image was actually written correctly to the cache partition.
[G1 Android Development] r3s-rt:
Another good find.

Don't see why. Hopefully people will be able to understand how to do this, get rid of the deathspl along with all the spam topics that come from the resulting bricks.
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
I can test it but I've seen invalid radio images trap a phone in flash radio.. I highly recommend just not tempting fate with this one and just installing 1.33.2003 or 1.33.2005 before starting custom partitions.. then you can deal with radio/alt recovery flashes from there.

Leave the recovery for android system install/uppdate/backup operations.
[G1 Android Development] asb123:
any success?
