[G1 General] androidcues:
Im going to jump in and say YES! Why? Because I am deaf (read hearing impaired, profoundly deaf -- dont call me, nobody will answer, I cant hear you")

I got my first Dream in November 2009. It was because I was sick of the Sidekick and its baked-ness.

December 2009, I rooted the G1 because I quickly got sucked into the rooting forums and wanted to see what it could do.

I have been trying to figure out how to run this phone without phone.apk com.android.phone and Dialer. Its impossible since the telephony part is still tied into the SMS/MMS portions.

My point is...... the telephone part for a hearing user must use about...... say 1GHZ of space. What can this Dream do without all that phone?

I now own 6 Dreams, (1 bought, 5 rescued from the graveyard, all are working beautifully and I have big hopes for them one day) This is not just a phone. Its a beautiful piece of clocked machinery. I believe I will use a G1 until the day I die which will be within 6 decades.

So, instead of sending the G1's to the graveyard how about it
[G1 General] jamesd86:
No, I want it to run Android(yes, i know its a linux kernel). I want it to play media, navigate/have maps on sd card so i can replace a standalone gps on long trips, I want it utilize any and all apps that it can, games too. And I want it to do all this w/o the telephone parts taking up precious space. I can put google voice/sipdroid on it for voip capabilities.

yeah. I also want to know if the 64 mb of ram that would be wasted on the baseband radio can be recovered.
[G1 General] Blackman778g:
I would never give up my G1 even though I said that in the first post but... the G1 is just to amazing to me. The current G1 I own has a screen cable issue so the screen constantly turns black when ever you touch the bottom certainly, now I have to use a P.O.S. Sidekick LX 2007 Brown temporarily until Project Emerald or the G1 Blaze. If I could fix the cable I would gladly use this G1 until it dies before I replace it.
[G1 General] jamesd86:
Or you could buy a used g1 on craigslist for 75 bucks. hell, if you got friends with android that have upgraded you might be able to score a free one.
[G1 General] jhunterb18:
I still use my G1... but i've had some hard times with it in the past... First time rooting I had a problem with the SPL and bricked the phone, it would stay on the G1 screen and not let me do anything else. So, I called Tmo and told them my phone stopped working so they sent me a new one and I returned the bricked one. Got lucky with that. cracked my digitizer once replaced that one from a friends G1 which became a part out. Gonna need to replace the menu button above the trackball later today, something is really wrong with it. Replaced the motherboard because the wifi stopped working never found out how to fix that... Then the HD2 was released... didn't know about it till 2 months later when I started seeing commercials for it so I picked one of those up. wondered what the 1ghz processor was like and HTC sense, this was all before they started putting Android on the HD2's. Just after 2 weeks of owning the phone I leave it on my windshield after a few hours of working on my car and take the car out for a test drive... all the while forgetting my phone... Cracked the screen and made a few scratches on the case but was still fully operational. Few more weeks later and I forget my phone on the roof of my car this time, and am driving about 70mph and hear a thunk and a thud and was asking myself wtf was that?... then I realized I don't have my phone in my lap and I started shaking and freak out a little bit and desperatly try to find it. Luckly I do... however this time I wasn't so lucky. Digitizer is not responsive and since it doesn't have a trackball the phone becomes totally useless. Slide my SIM card in my G1 once again and have been using it for awhile (I took my G1 everywhere my car would go just in case I had some bad luck or needed to use an app off of it.) I'm impressed with the speed of the G1, yes its already outdated but look its running Froyo and to me I figured it would be like putting windows 7 on a computer made in the 90's, but its nothing like that at all, its running it just fine, and sure its not as fast as the EVO 4 but its working good enough to be functional for a daily use phone and show off to my friend who just bought the vibrant and is anticipating the september OTA update to Froyo he was a little upset/jealous that I got it on my phone, and to be honest I had a big smirk on my face when I showed him everything it has. :D

Boring story I know... haha!
[G1 General] Blackman778g:
Don't worry I show off my G1 to everyone who owns an Android phone that is newer with better specs. I say "Hey what phone is that?" "Guess what this is?" "a G1!!!!" "What can your phone do?" Mine can do that and this!" ""Why can your G1 do that and my newer phone can't?"" "G1 is to great of a phone... should have kept it :cool: "
[G1 General] jhunterb18:
HAHAHA nice I need to try that with some people. Hopefully some Dev's can get Gingerbread on the G1 and then I can make my friend more jealous because he'll probably have to wait till next year to get it on his phone.
[G1 General] Blackman778g:
It feels so good to have this G1. A device with out dated specs, but with capabilty of anything out there. Hmmmmm maybe if we just swap in a gpu.... we should build G1s.. just like they build computers

Modify Your Fonts​

This works with any font, even if you don't have two versions of it (Regular and Bold). Just make a duplicate of the font you want to use and rename the files to DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf. The fonts must be True Type (.ttf)!!!

Basically you need to replace the original DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf fonts from the Samsung's /system/fonts folder. There are two ways for doing this. Both of them need a rooted phone and yes, both of them can mess up your phone:

1. The mobile way (no PC needed)

- Copy the renamed DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf to the SD Card, copy them to the Samsung's /system/fonts folder and replace the original ones, using a file manager like Root Explorer mounted in R/W

2. The noob way :D

You must have the Android SDK Components installed.

- Go to Settings > Applications > Development and check the USB Debugging box

- Connect your SGS via USB to your computer. Do not mount in Mass Storage Mode!

- Copy a Command Prompt Window (for Windows 7 go to Start > Search > Type CMD and right click - copy it) in the android-sdk-windows\tools folder so you don't have to type all those "cd" commands and open it. Else type cd android-sdk-windows (or whatever the folder is named) and cd tools to get there

- Type adb pull /system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf and adb pull /system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf. You will see that the original fonts were copied to the \tools folder. Make a backup of them!!!

- Copy the renamed fonts you want to use (I have attached the renamed Confortaa.ttf) and replace the pulled ones in the MS Windows's adb\tools folder (again, make sure you've made a backup of the original fonts)

- Type adb push DroidSans.ttf /system/fonts/ and adb push DroidSans-Bold.ttf /system/fonts/

- Type adb reboot

I have attached the default fonts too, just in case ;)

Later today I will make a video so all these instructions can be clear for everybody. I really don't have enough time for that right now, sry :(

Thanks sochet84 for the original idea :)

3. Thanks to SLX69's finding, there are some Flip Fonts that you just need to install and apply them from Settings > Display > Font style. Some of them are attached here.

Modify Your Notification Bar​

Follow the tutorial posted here. The credits go to MacaronyMax. Thanks!

I'm currently working on moding other things like icons, menu, keyboard and I'll keep you posted.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] prujinkamix:
how did you change the taskbar ? exactly the transparent like this
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] loinenavant:
Modify Your Dock

Modify Your Dock​

- Type adb pull /system/app/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk You will find the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk copied to the \tools folder. Make a backup!!! Maybe you'll need to put it back later.

- Open TouchWiz30Launcher.apk using WinRAR or an equivalent application and browse to the \res\drawable-hdpi folder, within WinRAR. Do not extract it!

- Drag and drop homescreen_menu_mainmenu_bg.png from the attached WhiteDock.zip in the \res\drawable-hdpi folder and close WinRAR

- Go back to the CMD window and type adb push TouchWiz30Launcher.apk /system/app

- Type adb reboot

The result is posted below. You can modify the homescreen_menu_mainmenu_bg.png image in any way you want and please post your results here. Of course, all those repetitive steps can be automated, but for the moment I don't have time to study how to. If you have any ideas, please post them, just don't brick anyone's phones :p

Edit: I have attached my TouchWiz30Launcher.apk files as well, in the .zip files. Can someone please try to push them to /system/app using adb, to see if they work, even if they're not extracted from their own phone? Note that I'm using an European SGS. Not working.

Hi, i have a little problem.

I can pull the framework_res.apk onto my computer, but i cant push it back to the sgs, because i get an "permission denied" error.

Any suggestions?

thx
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Fireloon:
I have a problem with it...

I get the message:

failed to copy 'TouchWiz30Launcher.apk' to ' /system/app/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk':Permission denied

I run JM5 and on Win7 64bit if that's any help
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] loinenavant:
Google for the Root Explorer app, instal and open it, press "Mount R/W".

Go to the system folder and long-press on it. Select "Permissions" and check all the boxes.

Do the same with the "framework" file.

Tell me if it works.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Fireloon:
Like a charm. Well I only tested the dock so far but I think I'll have a look to see what else is in that apk before I go to framework;)

Thx a lot
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kindaichi24:
it works for the font. but how to undo it? i use the 1st method copy and paste. but somehow the font seems too small for me, how to switch back the original's?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] loinenavant:
If you didn't made a backup to put them back, you'll need to reflash. Or wait a few hours for me to post them here :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kindaichi24:
i didnt know it was refering to the back up of the original font. blur me. i shall wait for u to post it here. really thanks alot!! actually this font is nice but seems abit small. haha if possible post more variety of fonts for us to choose from. hehe. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] loinenavant:
Just Google for *.ttf fonts
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kindaichi24:
i manage to found the file. thanks a million. anyway the glass notification bar tutorial i dont understand step 5 and 6. can elaborate on it? sorry for the trouble. i already pull out the framework-res.apk and its in the tools folder. but wad to do afterward???? i cant find \res\drawable-hdpi folder

Does this work just un special roms?

My device with stock JM2 freezes at the bootscreen when i apply that nice status bar...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] loinenavant:
I am using JP2, which is stock. Just remember not to save the framwork-res.apk file, just open, modify and close it using the X button.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] soulcrash:
Thanks for your answer, tried it with 7zip in windows instead macos and it works.

Unfortunately it seems that it doesnt work with launcher pro. I have a transparent statur bar at the lock screen, but when i unlock the device and launcher pro shows up, the transparent bar switches to back again :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] loinenavant:
Launcher Pro uses it's own files so this mod won't work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Mitty1990:
Thanks a lot, if its not o much to ask could you also let me know the skins used for clock and weather thanks a million :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] loinenavant:
The skin is called "Tick".
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] vosszaa:
As you said earlier, LauncherPro use its own file so status bar colour will not effected so what about status bar notification icons?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Fireloon:
This is probably a noob question but here it is:p

Is there a way to change the actual icons of the dock. Modify phone.apk for example?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] loinenavant:
Those can be changed. I'm currently working on it. The dock icons too, just didn't found them yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] sevsnk:
hi may i know the skin for the clock?

i know the weather is called tick though, thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] vosszaa:
By default, launcherpro let user change dock icons as they please anyway :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] loinenavant:
But Touch Wiz doesn't :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] LostAlone:
Hey... I ran the fonts without a problem, you can sideload the .apk font packs with something like the Sideload Wonder Machine, and they just pop up in the fonts list no problems at all. Easy as pie that way.

Tried running the glass notification bar, and all seemed ok, but it wouldn't push it back out. Initially it gave me the permission denied error, and then after changing the permissions, I got 'no space left on device' which was odd. Anyway, I rebooted into recovery mode and pushed it back then, and it worked just fine.

Took a few reboots to get RootExplorer to turn apps into writable, but then that took nicely.

Lovely little mods, really pretty, really subtle. Love it to bits. Many thanks :)

My phone is rooted

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push TouchWiz30Launcher.apk /system/app

Should it come up on the phone asking me to grant su permissions at all?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kinder__bueno:
do this:

on CMD with the phone connected with USB and debug mode enabled on the phone:

adb shell

$su

#

and then:

# cd /system

# chmod 777 app

then exit adb shell and run the adb command again. Should do the trick :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] andd64:
for those who need to upload the .apk file to the framework folder, just do the same as the post above but instead of chmod 777 apps type "chmod 777 framework"...

you can restore touchwiz3.apk without re-flashing by pushing an update.zip into sdcard containig touchwiz.apk then reboot in recovery mode then select the second option update from update.zip

your can get touchwiz.apk by extracting the firmware

it will be in /system/app/touchwiz3.apk something like that

after that you can add it to update.zip by drag it inside the file

Could some one please confirm. If it will work with launcher pro, does the wallpaper extend underneath the notification bar, because I also read on the launcher pro forums that the wallpaper doesn't extend under the bar.

Thanks

Hi!

I tried the modifying the notification bar thing using your method... I'm running JPM (froyo) and it went well. The glass notification bar is in place..however! When I pull it down, the date overlaps with whatever notifications were there. :O It looks really odd... Sorry, I can't seem to get a screenshot of it. But I hope you get what I mean :O

Also, the "clear" button is missing now...

Any explanation to this or possible quick fix? :)

Hi.

need some guide here :)

i want to change from stock message app to handcent msg apps.

by default, this is the dock of SGS.

<see attachment>

so what im trying to archive is, when i click on the message icon on the dock, it will open handcent instead of the stock msg apps.

please advice.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] syrisara:
Worked for me.

At first I used NinjaMorph to accomplish the semi transparent bar however Ninjamorph screwed up and I had to reflash my Phone. Afterwards I tried this post and it worked for me. Just follow the instructions but do not save the apk. (use the X for closing winrar or 7zip.

Copycat

Thanks poster
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] anoneemooz:
I think you can only accomplish this by swapping out the icon. The Messaging shortcut on the dock is literally a short cut to the default messaging app build into the phone. Just go to your app drawer and press the menu button and click edit. Hold and drag the Messaging icon from the dock to the drawer and hold and drag the handcent messaging icon to the dock. :) Then go to you applications list in settings and clear the defaults of the Messaging app. The next time the option pops up to choose which app to use, choose handcent and check the box that says set as default or whatever. :)
