[Nexus One General] flarbear:
Hi Roger,

That is a good point, but it isn't the tone of the article. "A flop with consumers" - "the Nexus One is [now] a sudden, improbable hit" - "[developers buying] in droves, apparently".

A flop? Really?

Sudden hit? Really that sudden?

Improbable hit? Really?

It may have had marketing problems, but it was never a flop. The new MS phones being canceled a week after they were released - that's a flop for you. And there is nothing sudden about a sellout a couple of weeks after another sellout. Nor is there anything improbably about that, or anything that spells "hit". And how big is a "drove". Apparently it is so specific that they suddenly realize the complete lack of facts in their piece and have to tack on the word "apparently". So, the phone is now selling to developers in a manner that one can only suppose is describable by a term that is as vague as "droves". Cute.

I'm glad that it is still selling and I'm glad that it sold out its developer allotment, but this article is exaggerating the impact of those facts with hyperbole based on both lack of knowledge (believing that the phone has been off sale for "months", etc.) and assumption of facts not presented.

It would be one thing if they had said what you said "The developer allotment sold out which shows that there is still positive demand for a device that is this old, but without numbers we can't tell if the demand is actually stronger in its developer form than it was as a consumer offering". But no, they basically paint its consumer history as if they couldn't be given away and then, without any numbers, paint the developer demand as being so much stronger than anything anyone could have expected that Google was stupid to have canceled it.

Sorry, no, the sell-out indicates that someone, somewhere, was wrong about a prediction that was specific to developer sales and has no bearing whatsoever about how the demand now compares to the demand as a consumer phone or to any other currently shipping phones.

As far as longevity - the G1 was still being sold as recently as about a month ago. Technology alone doesn't really dictate sales, but it is an important driver.
[Nexus One General] cmstlist:
Now that Google knows there is an appetite for a "super dev phone", might they also reconsider their decision to permanently shelve the UMTS 850/1900 version?
[Nexus One General] player911:
I hate articles like this. The facts are wrong which makes the whole article irrelevant. I think the problem with the Nexus One is that only the geeks here really heard about it. There was no advertising done what-so-ever.

Although I am surprised to see more and more people recognize it as "Is that the Google phone?".

I'm glad I bought mine when I did because they shut down the store. Now I love it even more knowing that every joe-smoe can't go out and pick one up. I like knowing that I have one of the best Android phones and "you" can't buy one anymore.

I think we'll see a huge demand for the N1 when Gingerbread comes out. I think it will take a lot of time and a lot more tweaking to get 3.0 on a 2.x device then it was 2.2 on top of 2.1. I'm just happy that Google is developing it specifically for my phone and I don't have to worry about having a buggy port.
[Android Software Development] nexushacker:
I couldn't find a thread on this. If there is one and I just missed it, please direct me that way and I apologize for the duplicate.

I hacked the .config file (kernel), compiled it, tested it in fastboot's boot mode (from the bootloader) and then flashed it to the phone with the instructions on this site:

credentiality2.blogspot.com/2010/08/nexus-one-htc-passion-compile-and-flash.html

It works and is wonderful, but I would love to find a way to create a boot.img file with the kernel I've hacked. Do any of you have any insight or know where I can look for more info.?

Do any of you know how to create the boot.img-ramdisk.gz file? I know how to put that with my hacked boot.img-kernel file and create a boot.img file that way.

Any help is much appreciated. :D
[Android Software Development] nexushacker:
Fixed!

I figured out the problem was I couldn't the boot.img file from my Android 2.2 phone because the read-write permissions did not allow me to do the adb pull command. Now, I've pulled that boot.img file and can unpack and repack it with my hacked kernel using the directions on the website I originally referenced.

I used this command to change the permissions so I could pull the boot.img file:

#mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
[Android Software Development] peru0002:
Hi,

I have rooted my HTC Dream successfully. I have flashed in CyanogenMod ROM.

Now I have downloaded Android Kernel and rebuilt it. Now I have the zImage which is the kernel image. Now how do I use this new image? I guess must modify the boot.img to use this new kernel image.

Any idea how can I do this? I tried using "fastboot flash:raw boot <kernel directory> <ramdisk directory>"

For <ramdisk directory> I point to the one in the android-sdk. But after flashing it stuck in the "G1 T Mobile" screen and doesn't proceed. Not sure how to resolve.

Thanks In Advance,

Perumal
[Android Software Development] nexushacker:
I downloaded the boot.img file, split it into boot.img-kernel and boot.img-ramdisk.gz. Then, renamed my newly-compiled kernel's "zImage" file as "boot.img-kernel" and zipped them back up into boot.img. Then, I flashed it to the phone with fastboot. All of the directions are on this website:

credentiality2.blogspot.com/2010/08/nexus-one-htc-passion-compile-and-flash.html

It was written for HTC Passion / Nexus One, so you may want to pull your existing boot.img file first in case it doesn't work on the HTC Dream and you need to go back to where you started. I found this tutorial helpful for that.

credentiality2.blogspot.com/2010/08/extract-bootimg-from-android-phone.html

You probably need to change your permissions to push and pull the boot.img file. I would do that on my computer (with it tethered to the phone), using the following commands in a terminal window:

$ adb shell

$ su

# mount -o remount,rw /dev
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] EindhovenOne:
Hello, all. I know there are a few apps like this out on the market, but none of them meet my needs just right and none of them are visually pleasing at all. I have been an EMT for ten years now, and sometimes when it gets very busy you just can't keep track of call times. All I want is an app with a very subtle, greyed out widget that I can place on my home screen and each time I click that widget it logs the time I did so. I would also need a way to clear the time log and save the logs for transcription later and then delete them. Again, each press of the little widget on my screen logs a time. Perhaps the widget on screen could look similar to the 1x1 buttons for SwitchPro Widget with a little clock on it and transparent as well. Sorry for being long-winded, and thank you all for your time and consideration. PM me with any questions. Have a great day.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ChaoticScientist:
I was just wondering, so many people (including me) are complaining about the original swipelock thingy and only want the pattern lock.

Why not create a replacement app like flyscreen but just a pattern lock replacement, and use no lock (or maybe even implement it)... i think many people would buy it, i know i would!

Unfortunately i'm not a dev so I won't make money from such a project, has anyone thought about it?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
I don't mind the swipe lock as it's plain and simple.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ChaoticScientist:
It's not bad (it's actually great far better than the iphone one for instance), it's just i would much apreciate using pattern lock without the swipe, i'm not a dev and thought this was a way to do it... since there are many threads about the subject leading us to weird lockers replacing the swipe one, maybe one could create a replacement lock but being a "simple" pattern lock. I was just wondering (and hoping) if this was actually possible.
[EVO 4G General] mainstang:
I have started to create a live wallpaper app for the market but do not have the slightest on making it work. I have so far created very detailed images and need them to work like they do in live wallpaper creator in the market. I will release the files to xda if I could get some of my developers fee back with donations a lot of people like the static wallpapaer when I posted it the first time. I did not know what I was getting into for 25 dollars.

Please someone help me out.

Also if you are not allowed to offer payment to devolpers please let me know.
[Vibrant General] Phylum:
I've noticed that my [rooted] Vibrant frequently has trouble connecting, or staying connected, to WiFi networks.

At first I thought it was specific to my Verizon Actiontec WiFi router, however I've also noticed this at my office, where we use Motorola routers, as well as a few other locations that I frequent.

It's still possible that its a site-specific problem, but, less likely as I'm seeing this in a few locations.

Symptoms:

I configure my phone to connect to X network.

It successfully connects and all it fine.

I get out of range, it no longer sees network X and disconnects.

Some time later I return to my previous location and expect that in N seconds/minutes the phone will automatically reconnect.

A considerable amount of time passes and I notice it's still not connected.

I check the wifi settings and it days connection unsuccessful.

I tap the network, click connect and it works.

I've also noticed this after connecting to a network and the phone goes to 'sleep' or into an idle state. When a wake it up, it doesn't always automatically reconnect.

Anyone else seen this?

Any suggestions?

Many thanks.
[Vibrant General] boodies:
i've had that problem. i am not sure what it was because I was rooted and Ryaned. I got sick of all the stupid lil bugs and had to wipe format and unroot. Now that I am back to the original condition, theres this sense of comfort knowing if something buggy happens, it's not "my" fault.
[Vibrant General] Phylum:
Thanks for the reply.

I noticed this prior to rooting and 'Ryan'ing'.

The capacitive buttons don't work all that well from time to time - specifically the Home button so maybe I should just exchange it. I'll call TMO tomorrow to see what they say.

My contacts on my sim card are all messed up. Instead of dashes I have question marks-123?456?7890- . I erased my sim, got a new one, added my contacts back on it and its still the same. Anyone else run into this or have a solution? CS was no help at all.

I will be posting themes that I am porting for SHu8i builds.

I will be taking requests -

before I begin anything major and receive too many requests I will make a few things clear -

1) I will not be fully supporting these themes.

2) I will support the thread

3) When the build is updated, the themes will be updated.

4) Any requests need to be sent to me via PM - NOT VIA THREAD REQUEST. I will be subscribing to this thread and checking it often, but I will not be able to sift through a pile of posts and reply to them all.

Themes will be uploaded later this evening - I am currently putting finishing touches on a few of them.

IN ORDER TO USE THESE THEMES YOU WILL NEED KNOWLEDGE ON ADB OR HAVE A UTILITY LIKE ANDROID COMMANDER INSTALLED ON YOUR PC (I personally use a little bit of both, but it is up to you in the end as both work very well)

I am heading back to the lab as I type this. when I get there I will update to 1.4c and post the themes. these are only going to be the framework-res files **for now**. once I find a faster way to theme the rest of the /system files and apps ill start posting those as well.

to whoever asked for the sense theme or compiled theme- I am only going to be working shu8i builds because they are based off of cyanogen builds and thus are de-odexed and are easier to work with.

Thanks a ton! Can't wait for your UNTHEME Shubcraft 1.4c with STOCK FROYO :D

Would it be possible to post step by step instructions on how to change the theme? IF you post a framework file, can i just replace it in the system files using SU explorer (under R/W mode) and reboot into Android? Would that work?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zelduy:
it's pretty easy actually.. since both htcleo_update.tar.gz and framework-res.apk can be open easily with 7zip...

all you need is to edit the drawable-hdpi folder inside the framework-res.apk..

if I have a spare time.. I'll try to give a step by step...

Some difficulties... :)

Hello,

I did it the way it was described... More or less... The mount command didn't work, so I used SFUB to switch to read/write mode...

Afterwards I did following:

C:\Users\Axxx Uxxx>adb devices

List of devices attached

000000000000 device

C:\Users\Axxx Uxxx>adb push C:\framework-res.apk /system/framework/

1216 KB/s (4554563 bytes in 3.657s)

After rebooting the phone all I got is meadow wallpaper... :)

Where did I go wrong?

Thanks for any help...

yours wixxer
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] palosjr:
Glad the above method works, ill add these instructions to the OP.

The other way is to use Android Commander. It should automatically install the android sdk and make it possible to use the UI. Here is a link to check out on the program - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=597098

More themes to come in a little bit. NExTang, Minimal Matte, NexTheme, and Weiss should be done within the next few days.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] palosjr:
when you push over the themed framework-res.apk file, you will also need to download the wallpaper pack listed underneath in the Extras section. Without that, you get the default wallpaper, I am thinking of changing the default wallpaper to a custom one for shu8i builds.... hmmm

in the meantime, download the wallpaper pack and extract it to your sdcard. Then press menu (windows key) - wallpaper - choose from gallery and then find your wallpaper pack. ;)

Can you convert the manu456 theme with the alternative battery icon ?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Chaebi69:
Well, I've tried installing Android SDK. I managed to install it, put it in the recommended location, but I'm lucked out when it comes to connecting the phone. I can't install the drivers and finish the rest of the steps. I'm sad! Anyone knows a different tutorial/method? I mostly followed this. A lot of people gives it a high rating so I thought it was it. But maybe there's a little difference when it comes to HD2? I'm not sure.

But anyway, I'm grateful that there's the SD card alternative that I read somewhere in this thread. And for the OP, thank you for your works! I had pretty much spent the whole afternoon trying to work this ADB but my effort has been fruitless. Oh wells.
