@G1sanju...

Hey my friend! So I've waited until today to do the install you wrote and so I am doing it now. Where you say "get the latest script" for A2sd and Swap, when I go to that link page, do I copy that text that he has in the box? Or is there a file to download on that page? And I install both A2sd AND Swap, correct?

I hope you're on here! :) Thanks a lot!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jezterking:
I also welcome input from anyone else that knows the answer!

: )
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1sanju:
There will be a file fr-patch140.txt, you need to download that and store it at root of sd card..

This is the latest version of that script so whereever I have mentioned fr-patch139.txt, replace it with fr-patch140.txt...

With CM6 on G1 I prefer a2sd and swap both....
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jezterking:
Cool, and are BOTH A2sd and Swap on that file?

Also, on the page the link for fastboot goes to, I don't see any files that look like they might be fastboot. Am I missing something or do I need to do the process that's written on that page?

Sorry, I really am a noob on here. Hopefully I'll be able to help others some day!! : )

You should put a link for donations on these instructions!! I would definitely donate!

For now I will just say thanks, once again! Lol
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1sanju:
Yes, that script does both the things.

For fastboot, If you don't have fastboot setup then you need to follow the process. If you don't want to do that then from recovery wipe 3-4 times...

What rom you are using currently...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jezterking:
Okay. I'm not sure if I have fastboot setup or not. : / So I'll just do everything on that page because I don't think I have any of it and it seems important because I see ADB and Nandroid referred to alot as well.....

I'm using CM6
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1sanju:
If you are using CM6 then what SPL do you have, if you already have danger spl or hard spl then you already have fastboot support in your phone, and its just a matter or setting up PC....
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jezterking:
Oh! I have hard spl, so cool! I'll just work on the a2sd and the swap. Alas, I have to do that tomorrow.... er, later today, as it is now 3am my time & definitely time for bed. Lol.

Thanks again for all your help, and not calling me an idiot..lol. I may be corresponding with you tomorrow as well... : )
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1sanju:
you can contact me any time, I will try to help as much as I can.... :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jezterking:
Hey G1sanju! Another night of fun for me. I am FINALLY installing this! : )

I have CM6, with hard spl, so you said that I already have fastboot support in my phone and it just needs to be set up on my computer.....

How do I set it up on my computer, I went to the fastboot guide to try and set it up but it is referring back to files downloaded from there. When I connect my phone to my computer it looks for the device driver and can't find it. :\ Help?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1sanju:
From your discription looks like you are using windows. You have to download the android SDK, as the USB driver comes with that only. once you have it downloaded it then unzip it to C drive...In that you will find an folder for USB driver...When you connect your phone to PC and it looks for driver...point it to that folder......it will install the driver..

This step needs to be done twice as There are separate driver installation for ADB and Fastboot...so if you connect the phone in power on mode, it will setup adb....then boot it into fastboot mode (Hold camera and power) and redo the installation...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jezterking:
Yep, still here, still working on this. Spent the rest of my night (until 3am) installing android sdk because my computer kept not recognizing my phone. So after doing all that, I decided to start earlier this evening. lol Not sure what time it is where you are so I don't know if you will be on here... BUT.

On Step 3, you say to "wipe everything," Do you mean EVERYTHING, or just do a Wipe data/factory reset?

Thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1sanju:
Wipe everything which is possible
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jezterking:
This is killing me! My phone and computer are fighting me all the way! In the directions, on 3 b, When you say Enter the command in terminal or command prompt on the PC, are you referring to the command prompt OF the PC, or is there a command prompt in fastboot working from Andriod SPK on the computer? Because I can't get my computer to recognize my phone as a device needing a driver. :|
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1sanju:
command promt of the PC...if you phone needs driver then you don't have a fastboot setup...You have to download the fastboot exe and android sdk starter pack....android starter pack contains the USB driver...

Starter Pack - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Fastboot - http://developer.htc.com/adp.html
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jezterking:
Yes, I understand that. But I can't even get through the loading of ADB yet! I have downloaded android sdk from the thread your link leads us to, ie. "ADB, fastboot, and android for noobs." I have installed it, exactly as it says. However, my computer keeps recognizing my phone as a portable storage device. I did what the instructions say with usbdeview, and it still recognized it as a storage device. I even went into my computer's device manager and uninstalled the driver there! It's STILL recognizing it as a portable storage device!

Any ideas??

Oh, and when I pull up the cmd prompt it comes up showing C:\ users\jezterking>. And I can't delete all of that to put in my own command.

This is getting ridiculous... Lol. Know a lot about computers too??? : )
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jezterking:
Oh, and if I try to enter my command in the cmd prompt screen, after what it has already, it constantly says there's no such file, or some other error...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1sanju:
Which windows you are using...XP, Vista or win7..

Also on CMD first you need type "cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" and after that you can type the command...

Your phone should be connected to PC and should be booted in fastboot mode.(Camera and power button)

After that you can check if fastboot is working or not by entering "fastboot devices" on the command prompt.....this command should give you a serial number for the connected device...if you are not getting that then fastboot is not working...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jezterking:
You said if I had Hard SPL that I have fastboot, right? I'm going to start at the beginning and root the phone and install CM6 again. Maybe I should use a different tutorial. Right now I have been using the "How to: Root the HTC G1/Dream" and "How to: Load a custom ROM on the HTC G1/Dream". Is there a different one you would recommend?

As for my computer, it's a Windows Visa 64 bit. (which they said the 64 bit was going to be the "new thing" and I have yet to see that) and when I type that command it says that the system can't find the path specified.

Think I should start over? Same tutorial, or do you recommend a different one? Lol. I thought this one was good. It's at least complete. : )
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1sanju:
These are from unlocker.com and they are good, I also use those to get the things done... they just point to old recovery so you can download a new recovery from RA 1.7.0 ....

You can boot in the fastboot mode and can check what SPL you have, if you have 1.33.2003 then you should have fastboot on your phone.....

If its not able to find the path then check on C drive what folder you have for android sdk....you have to point to tools folder under that...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jezterking:
You said if I had Hard SPL I have fastboot, right? I think I'm going to go back and start all over with rooting my phone and going from there. The first time I did it I used the tutorial "How to: Root the HTC G1/Dream" and "How to: Load a custom ROM on the HTC G1/Dream". Maybe this time I will use the guides on here, xda-developers. Think that would be good?

And my computer is a Vista 64 bit. When I enter that into the cmd prompt it says that it can't find the path specified. Another reason to re-root the phone. I just hope I can get my computer to cooperate with me! Lol.

Sorry if you are getting frustrated with me. Lol. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your help. If you weren't helping me, I would have given up a long time ago. But I REALLY want this done. So thanks.

Are you tech support with a company? Just curious because you're so patient.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1sanju:
Can you just boot your into bootloader(Power and camera button) then on top you will see some value...could you check if you see 1.33.2003 or 1.33.2005...or if you can paste the those things here...

If your computer does not recognize the phone it might be a issue with the drivers only and my guess is re-rooting is not going to help you much....

Once I was also like you, starting to learn a lot of thing.....only advise I can give is read the full guides first before you start working on it...and if you are planning to flash SPL and radio the remember lot of places you will get references but that method can brick your phone...stick to hard SPL or engineering SPL as they are more safe....and use customMTD to achieve the Danger SPL size.....Its a new method so lot of hit will be for Danger SPL...but now you don't need that...

No I am not in customer care...just a person who likes android.....
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jezterking:
It says 1.33.2005 (DREA10000)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jezterking:
I just feel like I've done so much with it since I rooted and installed CM6, that I don't know where it's at anymore. Especially because I wiped everything. So I feel I should root it again. You don't think so?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1sanju:
Ok, So you have a danger SPL and it has fastboot....so its only matter of setting up computer right....

When you connect to computer you should not mount the phone....is it asking for drivers or it just assume that it is a mass storage device...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jezterking:
Yes, it's recognizing it as a storage device. Well, it comes up as 2 things! It comes up as a usb mass storage device, and also comes up as an "Android Composite ADB interface." ???

I did the instructions about using usbdeview and went in to the device manager and uninstalled all the drivers related to it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1sanju:
We are more concerned about Android composite ADB Interface...so on the device manager is it installed or coming under unknown device.....

Also Could you check on C drive what folder you have for android...name of the folder...

Also we can do this on a PM rather then on the thread......I will send you a PM you can reply on that....
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jezterking:
Not sure what a PM is... is that an instant message? I haven't received anything.

The Droid Composite ADB Interface is installed

And I have the android files in C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver....

I know that's not the same as the instructions but that's the way it downloaded. I HAVE been entering it this way in everything though. Instead of C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vermaekansh:
Quick questions

I have done the (a) part but not the fastboot erase system as i am not having much knowledge in that..coz i dont want if sth gose wrong i 'll b help less.

3)	Wipe the phone:

a)	Boot into recovery(reboot while holding home and power). Wipe everything.

b)	Boot in fastboot mode. (reboot while holding back and power)

Enter the command in terminal or command prompt on the PC

fastboot erase system -w​

c)	reboot into recovery.​

Do i still need to do this as I laready have a partioned SD card class6 8 GB.

4)	Install the custom MTD. (If you already have custom MTD then this step is not required.)

a)	Flash customMTD fr-recovery file.

b)	Reboot into recovery.​

I have flashed the CM6 and Gapps but the (c) part i am not sure from where I take the files.

5)	Install CM6 Gapps and boot loader.

a)	Flash CM6

b)	Flash Gapps

c)	Flash Boot Loader fr-boot file

d)	reboot phone​

6)	Once phone is booted and you are on the home screen, go to

CyanogenMod Settings > Application Settings > Install location - Set Install location as Internal, make sure allow application moving is not checked.

CyanogenMod Settings > Performance Settings - make sure that Compcache, JIT, dithering is not checked. If something is checked please uncheck it.

Lock home in memory can be checked, but some guys has reported that it drains a lot of battery.

Reboot the phone.​

If I have already flased the CM6 and gapps and also have thje Firerat patch file in my root can i directly start teh process from step (7).

7)	Go to terminal type below code

su

sh /sdcard/fr-patch140.txt a2sd​

It will ask if you want to install a2sd, type Y and press enter. Once APKManager is installed, type quit to exit.

Reboot the phone.

8)	If you are not using a2sd and want to setup swap, please enter the below command in the terminal otherwise continue to step 9.

su

sh /sdcard/fr-patch140.txt sdext​

reboot the phone.

9) Go to terminal type below code

su

sh /sdcard/fr-patch140.txt swap​
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1sanju:
You can skip fastboot method but try to wipe everything and repartitioned your sd card.

Custommtd is for internal memory rather than sd card. The other file is from Custommtd. In order to get it worked you have to flash two files.

If you don't want those setting then you can continue from step 7.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vermaekansh:
Thanks this will definitely help me coz every day i get a LOW memory notification.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vermaekansh:
I have Danger SPL so can i skip the custom MTD part.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1sanju:
Yes if you have danger spl then you can skip Custommtd part
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vermaekansh:
Thanks it working fine..

but I am facing a new prob with the G1 that it is behaving surprisingly SLOW and i am kidda hating this thing.

Do you have any thing to make it fast.

One more thing with the SWAP i choose the same 60 for it. Can i again use the terminal and increase the size of he swipeness say 96.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vermaekansh:
One more issue i am getting hell lotts FORCE CLOSES

i tried the fix_permission but i dont think its working for me.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1sanju:
It happens some time try fastboot erase command and reinstall CM6, also make sure you have compcache off, either swap or compcache should be on. Keeping both on can slow down the phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vermaekansh:
The point 8

8) If you are not using a2sd and want to setup swap, please enter the below command in the terminal otherwise continue to step 9.

su

sh /sdcard/fr-patch140.txt sdext

I am using a2sd and also want to setup SWAP...then after 7 i directly jumped to 9. isn't it

but the 8th point says if m not using a2sd and want o setup SWAP then need to enter the below commant what is that?? i guess that is for SDext
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1sanju:
Yes, you can skip step 8. It is only require If you are not using a2sd.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vermaekansh:

I tried again last nite and now i think its working better than before for me...

thanks again....

now i have aroung 20 apps running and no LOW internal memory notification :)

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GamerGuy80:
i have a question... after following the guide... do i have to repeat all the steps again when i upgrade to a newer rom or change to another rom. Or does all the custom partitions stay and i just install the new roms from here on out. or as i mentioned do i have to repeat it all for every upgrade.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1sanju:
You need to flash the new rom and the boot file from customMTD. Check customMTD thread for more information.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad-murdock:
i bricked my htc desire.

background: clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7, hboot 0.93 s-off

i was running leedroid 2.2a and then moved to cm6 (seams way faster and more stable), but missed the a2sd option.

i was following the guide, wiped everything, installed fr-recovery, rebooted, and then clockworkmod tells me, it cant mount my sdcard.

i am a bit screwed now, since i dont have any android os left to figure out, whats wrong. all i have is hboot and clockworkmod. i am not sure, if fr-recovery did this.

is there any way to repartition my sdcard or to reflash clockworkmod (if that helps)?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1sanju:
I am glad to hear that you have hboot right now, you missed few points...

This is an G1 forum. CustomMTD has been setup for that (The concept might be generic but the files are specific to G1.)

I am not that familiar with the desire...so you have to look in desire forum...one suggestion try to flash Clockworkmod recovery again, as you might have recovery right now, so its better to flash the recovery once again and see if it resolves that issue...

and please don't follow this method for CM6.....
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad-murdock:
thanks for reply. i did some work/research after writing this. first of all i figured myself out, what you said. i just found that guide and didnt notice that its bound to one device - my bad^^

i also already reflashed clockworkmod via fastboot - guess hboot s-off was a great idea, since else i couldnt write to the recovery partition. anyways, it doenst change anything.

i guess the custom mtd tool killed or changed the number of partitions, so the device for sdcard now got another /dev file. /dev/block/mmcblk0 doesnt exist anymore. but clockworkmod is functioning.

my idea right now: flash a tool to recovery, which restores original desire mtd, reboot to recovery (so it does its job), flash back clockworkmod to recovery and everything should work. at least i hope^^

so, a day full of tension ...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad-murdock:
after unbricking my device and following your guide again, its save to say it worked on my desire with skipping the fr-recovery and fr-boot part ... only calling the script after install with either "a2sd" or (prefered) with "sdext" which uses an ext2 partition.

so, on the long run, thanks for this tut anyways - wouldnt have screwed up, if i wasnt in a bad mood and didnt think really that day^^
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] abhinavrai:
Hey,

I am creating this post because wherever I go, people have this misconception that the WinMo doesn't have apps, its not user friendly etc etc. From what I have seen in the forums ( hear hear :) ), I have found out that its one of the most customizable OS's out there. People say that Android has more apps, well you are not going to use all those right ? Blackberry has push blah blah. I will discuss the apps which are cutting all these platforms one by one ! These are the most essential ones, and i believe that these will be more than enough. Please add whatever you feel necessary.

Recently bought an HTC HD Mini phone. ( This is my first Smartphone btw ). After going through a lot of apps, apparently most of them are for VGA/QVGA screens.

Messaging

What Blackberry, Apple and Android promote is the concept of messaging. They have 1000's of apps for chatting etc. Palringo is one of the best messaging clients available there. Instead of downloading separate chat clients for all separate chats (like bb), better to download Palringo. You will say similar apps are there for bb n stuff, but thats the point right ? This post is for all those bb,android snobs u must have met after buying an HD Mini or HD2 :P

Push Email

Oh, aren't those BB people charging that much money just for enterprise push email ?? And haven't you spent a fortune looking for a perfect push email solution ?? And most of winmo phones provide one sync accounts. Is this your problem ?? Well Emoze Pro which btw is free, lets you push-manage n-number of email accounts ( in my case, n=5) and its real time push. You can add n office accounts also, with OWA ( Outlook Web Access ) and Google Apps. Isn't it amazing ? The BB just got a kick in the nuts ;) .

Interface

Well, now that we have beaten the #%$ out of the bb people with those 2 nifty apps ;) , lets take a go at the android people. And this will be useful for those who have used sense ( there are mods for getting sense on your older phones but not sure) or some other awesome interface. Sense in my opinion is byfar the best interface available ( on my HD Mini atleast n same in HD2 with liveweather :P ), but if you get bored of it then obviously you have got SPB Mobile Shell.. You have to use it to experience it and I am sure you agree :P And how can you forget the beautiful S2P player and S2U2 utility with their beautiful sync and caller ID !! Must haves !!

Other Useful apps include :

FIM ( Facebook Instant Messenger )

Shazam

IM Plus

Premier League Pocket 10

Coreplayer

Please update more apps for the devices. I know these apps are more than enough for me ! But if you can post more I will add them !

GO WINMO ! :D
