This is what I did... I think my VDI is like 18GB but I have two copies of the android source (eclair & froyo) so it could probably shrink if I removed one.

1) Install Virtual Box (www.virtualbox.org)

2) Create a new linux virtual machine with atleast 25GB dynamic drive

3) Install Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit version (http://www.ubuntu.com)

3a) Install Virtual Box Guest Additions

3b) Perform Ubuntu updates

4) Open Ubuntu Software Center

4a) Edit Menu => Software Sources

4b) Other Software tab and Add "deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jaunty-updates main multiverse"

4c) Search for JDK, install Sun Java(TM) Development Kit (JDK) 5.0 sun-java5-jdk

5) Open System => Administration => Synaptic Package Manager

5a) Uninstall default-jdk, openjdk-6-jdk, openjdk-6-jre-lib, openjdk-6-jre-headless, icedtea-6-jre-cacao, ca-certificates-java

6) Open a terminal window, enter these commands:

$ sudo apt-get install git-core flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-dev-i386 lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev

script it :)

do it :) that looks interesting to run yet depressing to build... I'll run it before school starts.. wait now I'm tempted to do crazy apt gets as i have karmic installed. maybe I can get away with it?

wow man those instructions look rough... but well worth doing.. from the starting out perspective. I need to stop.

I got an environment going from the android x86 project. but it has no sound, or wacom touchscreen support. the mouse worked differently on the m200 from the test run of the t60. lots of issues. but wifi on both worked. need kernel compiled{,?in?} modules for everything else it seems.

[Desire General] Lil.Fl0w:
Hey,

First, I'd like to thank everyone who's contributed to these forums. I've been visiting often lately and the progress is awesome. And, this is my first post =)

So, I rooted my Desire. Made a nandroid backup using ROM Manager, and started trying different ROMs. I finally decided to go back to the stock ROM, and so restored my backup.

Then I decided to install a2sd. So I booted into AM Recovery, restored factory defaults, and wiped the cache. I then installed the zip from the same menu (r1-a2sd-desire-dalvik-fresh-signed.zip) and proceeded to partitioning. SWAP=0, ext2=384. Then I upgraded(?) ext2 to ext3 (again, from the same recovery menu).

And now, when I reboot my device it gets stuck on the first HTC splash screen. It doesn't even reach the animation. I've heard it takes some time to write caches or something but it's been at least 15 minutes already. Any ideas?

Of course, I know I can always restore my nandroid backup, but I want to get a2sd working.
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Ok, first go back to Recovery. Did you wipe the SD:EXT partition too?

Wipe the following:

Factory Reset

Dalvik Cache

SD: EXT

Make sure your card is formatted as FAT32.

You may have to reflash the actual stock rom.

If you can get hold of another sd card, download the stock rom zip and apps2sd zip and place onto sd card using a card reader or another phone that accepts micro sd cards, re-insert sd card into phone, enter recovery, wipe everything, flash stock rom, apply Apps2SD zip in recovery zip after, then partition with 0Mb swap, 512Mb ext2, rest to FAT32. Convert ext2 to ext3.

[Desire General] Lil.Fl0w:
Just to clarify, when you say flash stock rom, you mean rootedupdate.zip right? (The one used in the rooting process)

UPDATE: Ok, I just did it with rootedupdate.zip but got the same problem. I wiped to factory defaults, wiped the caches, and SD: EXT. Then installed rootedupdate.zip. Then installed Apps2SD, partitioned to your recommended values, and converted ext2 to ext3.

Still, HTC boot logo has been there for a good 10 min. It didn't even reach the animation. I've heard it could take some time to update caches or something like that. Could it possibly take that long?
[Desire General] shawe_ewahs:
Try in this exact order:

UPDATE: Ok, I just did it with rootedupdate.zip but got the same problem. I wiped to factory defaults, wiped the caches, and SD: EXT, partitioned to your recommended values, and converted ext2 to ext3. Then installed rootedupdate.zip. Then installed Apps2SD
[Desire General] Lil.Fl0w:
Ok this is driving me nuts. I did exactly as you asked and it reached the same problem - stuck on the HTC boot screen before the animation even starts.

Funny thing is, I tried installing Amer's bravox ROM which includes Apps2SD (after partitioning my SD of course) and it worked! I'm sure it did because I tried installing a few apps and internal memory barely changed, and did the "su ls -l /data" test as well.

I'm just lost now. Btw, I'm not using a goldcard but I can boot just fine into recovery and all, and my device is not locked.

Any ideas? I've attached the Apps2SD zip I tried. It's worth mentioning, I've tried downloading it from quite a few different sources.

EDIT: I have a feeling the problem lies where BOOT is formatted during the Apps2SD installation. Is it supposed to?
[Desire General] benleong2008:
I did everything you did in the first post and my desire gets stuck at htc loading screen. I followed the installation guide from here and just realized that it is actually not meant for bootloader .80 http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire/#comments

What can I do to fix all these? Help needed urgently
[Desire General] Lil.Fl0w:
That post only says the rooting procedure is different for .80, not Apps2SD.

Like I mentioned before, I'm not sure what the problem is, but ROMs with Apps2SD built in work just fine, so that's what I'm doing.
[Desire General] amf:
Lil: In the past, Ive tried the a2sd file you attached and I was also not able to boot past the HTC screen so I just used MCR 3.1 with app2sd+.

You may want to try flashing the ROM with a gold card. I have an unbranded Desire and I need to use the gold card when I rooted or need to re-flash to stock. HTH.
[Desire General] Lil.Fl0w:
You mean reflashing rootedupdate.zip with a gold card? Because I remember trying without one, and it didn't work. Then I tried with one, and was a hassle. Tried again without, and it did work. So I'm guessing I might've missed something the first time I tried without a gold card..?

But from what I understood, it doesn't matter. As long as you're rooted you don't need a gold card, and the rooting process either works all the way or doesn't at all. Did I get something wrong?

And, just to make sure I understood you right, using a gold card should allow me to use the zip above?
[Desire General] amf:
If I remember it correctly, I copied the ROM I'm flashing to a gold card and used that card to flash the ROM.

Hi,

would like to know if theres any Silverlight capable Browser available

for the Desire.

tryed search but couldnt find anything.

Why Silverlight, Mediaportal offers with ipimp a nice live tv streaming feature,

capable for iphone or also for webkit browsers supporting silverlight, like

chrome does ... working pretty nice here.

Would be great to get live tv stream on my desire too ;)

thanks ahead for a hint.
[Desire General] lanceos:
you can try skyfire
[Desire General] alturismo:
tryed it, no luck there too, but thanks for the tip ;)
[Desire General] pryssing:
Is there something new about Silverlight for Android? :confused:

I will use it to watch live TV on my phone.
[Desire General] kuldaoo:
MS Silverlight is not supported for android at the moment. But there is a project named moonlight that should run silverlight but i don't know how that work.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
sky player would probably work if silverlight was able to run too
[Desire General] pryssing:
I've tried with Firefox and Skyfire, but both require the Silverlight plugin to play the TV from my local provider.

There are no silver- or moonlight plugins for these browsers :confused:
[Droid Incredible General] AwsmAdm:
I'm a total noob and kind of worried about breaking my device. I have a mac and when i tried following the directions I got lost pretty fast. I don't mind waiting at all but does anyone know if there will come a time when rooting the incredible will be as easy as like, jailbreaking an ipod touch or something like that?
[Droid Incredible General] Captchunk:
It is impossible to say for sure, but the UnrEVOked team has said that they hope to have an easier method for rooting the Incredible soon. I have not been able to root my phone using any method, but I don't see this as a huge deal until we are able to flash custom roms which we are not capable of yet. In the mean time, if you are interested in learning more about Android, take a look at the documentation of their developers site at developer.android.com it has a ton of useful information to get you started.
[Droid Incredible General] E30kid:
Or you could wait for Jake Day's "packaged root." :p

I love how he announced it on his blog without having anything to show for it. He thinks that he is going to be able to get root or something on demand.

Other than that, you could wait for the UnrEVOked team to release an easier root. If you don't want to wait, you're going to need to make an attempt to learn how to do this root.
[Droid Incredible General] mixpix405:
I think it's just a matter of time. They've found this exploit, and I think once the unREVOked team is really able to wrap their minds around it fully, they'll have something easier out.

It won't be as easy as blackra1n's jailbreak, or the EVO's root... but it'll definitely be easier than the current pseudo-method.
[Droid Incredible General] jdmba:
Just waitin ...

Funny thing; I love my Incredible. If Verizon would just release FroYo for it (PLEASE FIX THE BLUETOOTH STACK), I wouldn't want/need to root.

I have read that you cant get the OTA 2.2 if you rooted; so I suspect I will wait for the time being unless/until someone ports 2.2 faster.

When my EVO is off, the home, menu, back, & search buttons stay (very dimly) lit all the time on my EVO. I can only see them if the room is very dark. I'm not sure, but this may somewhat contribute to the wretched battery life. Anyone else's EVO doing this?

No, its definitely not the silver I'm seeing. I've tried turning if back on, then off... still there. I've even tried rebooting and they are still slightly glowing. The only thing that will stop it is when I charge it. But as soon as I unplug the cable, the issue returns. They work normally while I'm using the phone. I'm just worried about my battery life. :(

[Touch Pro CDMA] praful:
Hi,

I have a Touch Pro CDMA. Recently my phone has developed a weird issue. The touch screen and the keys on the front face would just go blank/dead. If I removed the battery and powered the phone again. The vibration at the start would indicate that the phone has started and also the boot-up sounds, etc would be played.

If I left the phone in OFF mode for sometime, it would start working. I thought it is a software issue and performed a HARD Reset and then re-loaded the stock Sprint ROM. Previously also I was using the stock Sprint ROM. But this Hard Reset+Flashing Stock ROM did not help and the problem re-occurred.

After this I took the phone to the local HTC support team here in India as I suspected that it was a probably a connector coming loose somehow. They opened up the phone reconnected the Board to Board connector and it worked for a few hours. But then the same issue showed up again. HTC support group says that there 'could' be a fault with the Board to Board connector and a replacement might help in trouble shooting to figure out if there is issue with the B2B connector or not. Now the additional problem is that HTC Support India only supports phone sold in India :mad:. And I'm using at Touch Pro in the US.

It would be next to impossible for me to have the phone sent to the US to HTC support and then somehow get it back here in India. The [HTC Service & Repair FAQ clearly says that they do not sell parts separately.

Now I am in a fix on how to fix up my phone ASAP.

Any Inputs people?
[G1 General] Blackman778g:
I just made this thread to see how us G1/Dream owners feel about our outdated, falling apart phones.

Phones we should consider:

Nexus One

HTC Sidekick Twist

Samsung Galaxy S

HTC Evo 4g

Add more phones to the list and tell me how you feel about your G1 and why there is no worthy successor. (Full five row Qwerty and more)

Motorola Droid/Milestone. Does have qwerty.

But I think I'll wait until christmass with change :P

[G1 General] Blackman778g:
It hurt as the G1 has some good and bad points as

Only 5 row keyboard Android in U.S.

Started Android from rc28 (look at what Android has accomplished!!)

Limited Space

Outdated Processor

Is getting old and many are falling apart

Still goes for $150 - $450!!!!!!! :eek:

G1 did well to show Android but now we need a true successor.. Have you all seen the Inbrics M1? 5 row keyboard, but I wish it was stock Android 2.1

[G1 General] jamesd86:
I didn't look more than one google page deep but the last news I found was just a build id that said qwerty keyboard and the name of the phone, not enough for me to say I want. Seriously mu next phone purchase will be in 2011...by then we should have a dualcore mobile that kicks ass...now if only batteries followed moores law.
[G1 General] d3v14n7:
The Samsung Galaxy S Pro looks decent, it has a 5 row qwerty keyboard but still nothing on the specs (probably identical/similar to the Galaxy S).

HTC needs to re-release the G1/Dream with the Snapdragon processor, more ram/rom, better screen (higher resolution, better touchscreen, AMOLED display), better camera (at least 5MP with flash) and a normal headphone jack. Keep the same case/keyboard/screen size... I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
[G1 General] wcdisciple:
Had my G1 for a couple of years now and it's a great android starter phone. :)

But after a while you come to realize it's not that great after all. :)

Just like that guy in Utah, that died by firing squad last night, I've decided to place my phone against a wall (blindfolded of course), and let off a .50 cal round from my M107, straight into the menu button. I offered it one last flash, but true to form and solid as a brick (get it? brick? hahahaha) it refused. :D

So the plan that i've being plotting for a while now is coming into fruition. I've discovered something that has literally thousands more apps, great ui/responsiveness and is cosmetically better looking.

Six days from the date of this post I will have my new phone. :eek: :cool:

As I stated before, I'm not going to replace G1 for now. Simply because there is no other decent phone with 5 row qwerty keyboard and I don't feel like pushing or holding shift to select numbers.

Almost. Lose the chin and have the button-area be part of the slidey-bit w/ the screen.
[G1 General] guitargler:
I love the chin and real buttons! My girlfriend has a Droid, and everytime I go to hit any of those soft buttons, I'm momentarily aggravated. Especially for long presses, which I use VERY often. Same shell, maybe add an exterior hardware search button, replace the trackball with an optical pad, front facing camera, and maybe a seperate led for charging. That, and everything else that's been said, would be the best phone ever. And it'd be faster than my computer..
[G1 General] r3s-rt:
wc is still going on with his apple fan-boy craziness? o.O

The only real successor to a G1 would be to completely remake it with nothing but hardware upgrades. And a tad bit stronger. I read many many posts about the keyboard messing up and the G1 just plain out falling apart as OP said. I think it was rushed, and Google should have based the Nexus One off of it. Who knows, maybe one day something will roll out.

I say all this and I'm stuck with a myTouch. :| I've actually considered selling/trading it for a G1. My myTouch is just in horrible condition from so many drunken nights, lol.
[G1 General] d3v14n7:
I disagree, I love the chin and the fact the buttons are separate from the screen, it allows you to easily use those buttons/trackball with the keyboard open.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
The main problem I find with the "chin" isn't so much that it sticks out front, but that when the phone is laying flat on a desk, the "chin" section is lifted up. When you try to push a button, the thing pops up like a rake hitting a coyote in the head when he's trying to catch a roadrunner.
