[Fascinate Android Development] wicked_beav:
Here's the deal people, if you don't wanna donate then don't. But don't come here spewing your garbage and hate... we don't give a **** nor wanna hear it. I am a friend of Matt's and the dude's legit and either way, either donate or STFU!
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
This approach doesn't make sense to me, it seems.. off..

If I were serious enough about something, and confident enough in my ability to produce a good product (ROM), I would go out and buy the phone. You can use a credit card. Even if it takes you ~6 months to get the donations to cover it, you've paid all of $25 in interest on the device. I would think a quality ROM would cover that amount in way less than 6 months.

Since the guy has other ROMs that apparently people like and have been donating for, anyone with common sense would use a bit of that money to save up for another device. What Matt does with the money is his business, but anyone serious about running a development operation will set aside some money aside to reinvest.

There's a lot of questions here, and should Matt actually release a decent ROM for the Fascinate I"ll be happy to come back and edit this post.

It's your money, donate how you want. I"m just trying to tell you to wait for a ROM first, or at least donate to someone who has the device and who is working on ROM's. That's just common sense.
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
To all of those hating the supposed "haters", which are really people saying beware...

Let me remind you of a tale of a kernel dev who was the real deal, and did good things with kernels, and then said, hey donate to me so I can work faster and I have already accomplished things others could not...

Yes, I am referring to legend of Jake Day. Kernel dev by day, swindler, liar, and cheat by night.

This may not be the case here, but there were plenty of friends of Jake and other supporters spewing nonsense back then too. You don't really know someone, unless you are actually that person in the flesh.
[Fascinate Android Development] Boushh:
Funny, seems to me that the actual development that went on in this community was better, more positive and happening when donations weren't allowed on this site. People managed to get devices then, I'm sure it's possible to do it still...

But, hell, I'd gladly give you a shiny toy tomorrow for all your money today. Well, maybe, but I'll still take your money today.
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
I didn't think 15 year olds could get credit cards
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
That was kind of my subtle point.. :) If someone (not anyone in particular, just the general "someone") can't afford to buy a phone on a credit card in order to get development going for which they will eventually take donations, they might have bigger issues at play than just ROM development.

I'm sure Matt's a nice guy, and I have no issues with him personally. I have no problem with donating and supporting authors, but just counseling a bit of caution here. I don't think it's too unreasonable to donate

after

the product has been released.
[Fascinate Android Development] Daswolven:
Lol. I don't care what someone asks for. I donate for work I can validate is worthwhile. Not before I see it.

Anyone know how we could get just the 5 Screen Layout with Custom Home setting from Frankin Twiz working on a JI2 rom? I like JI2 better but I like the home screen from Frankin Twiz.
[Touch CDMA General] [mutex]:
I've read a considerable number of threads both here and elsewhere, i'm having a ton of trouble getting HeRET.exe to work. i've formatted my sdcard with fat32, and my directory layout looks like this

[mutex@insight 1BCE-6D05]$ ls * -R
VOGUIMG.nbh

andboot:
androidinstall.tgz default.txt initrd.gz
default-kaiser.txt dmesg README-BASEFILES.txt
default-polaris.txt haret.exe zImage

upon running HeRET.exe, i hold the center button on the dpad down. **** scrolls by and stops with these last few lines:

sh: 2: unkonwn operand
losetup: /dev/block/loop1: no such file or directory
failed
failed to reach system.img on SD Card

i've googled a ton for those error strings and i cant find a solution anywhere.

what am i doing wrong?
[Touch CDMA General] mrkite38:
Try volume up instead of dpad center. Wait to press until the text starts scrolling.
[Touch CDMA General] [mutex]:
no love. same thing. tried it 4 times in a row with the same results.
[Touch CDMA General] mrkite38:
Hmm. Does the message saying "press volup / road center" show? Maybe you're getting stuck before that.

Also, there should be some logs in /sdcard/andboot, post 'em.
[Touch CDMA General] [mutex]:
bump.

i've tried several different android packs and still the same issue. im really stuck. hell if someone would be willing to skype and help me figure it out i'd be willing. im just tired of being frustrated and such. i've literally ben googling for about 5 hours today trying different things.
[Touch CDMA General] [mutex]:
bump again. i can provide any information needed, i'd really like to get this working. anyone? ive repeated the steps at least 7 times now and no love. any help is appreciated, even armature speculations.
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
Lets back up a step... which ROM are you trying to use? From SD or NAND? The message says that it cannot find the system.img, and if it is the first boot, it obviously will not find it as the system.img has not been created at this point. From what I understand, it may be something on your default.txt.

I would just download a fresh rom, (get myn's latest for now and see if the device reacts). Delete the Android folder in your SD card and replace it by myn's
[Touch CDMA General] [mutex]:
Followed the instructions for myn's to a T. I'm using the NoMoRootFS method, not NAND (yet).
[Touch CDMA General] mrkite38:
I checked the init code - basically, you're seeing the failure messages because

1) you aren't installed to nand

2) your sdcard doesn't have a 2nd/3rd partition

3) you don't have a system.img on your sdcard

all that basically means is, it's becuase you haven't made it into the installer - so there's not a lot to be gleaned from the failure messages and, unfortunately, there's not a lot of logging... ok, so you've tried volup, dpad center, how about touchscreen center? It should work also.

I mean, I could generate a custom init that ALWAYS enters the installer to get you through this part, or you could try generating a boot script with the bootscriptgenerator you can find in the vogue android subforum...

does the console print anything when you press buttons? what's the date on your zImage? and did you download the 2.6.25 or 2.6.32 version?
[Touch CDMA General] [mutex]:
I used the SQSH method here http://download640.mediafire.com/5mvxwozyuQjg/oitjoljxquj/myn-WarmDonut-04-24-2010-SQSH.zip

works fine. not sure what i was doing wrong but oh well. well, works fine with the exception of the camera button doing back/home(hold). thats kinda iffy. seems to only work in specific contexts. i.e. inside the 'browser' or email app i cant leave to the main screen. better than no android though.

thanks for your help guys. i wonder why the NoMoRootFS method didnt work though ;/
[Touch CDMA General] mrkite38:
quick press = back

med press = home

long press = recent programs

if that helps...
[Touch CDMA General] [mutex]:
yeah i know those, its just that sometimes the camera button doesnt do anything, quick press hold or long hold.
[Touch CDMA General] mrkite38:
Hmm... well, the old sqsh method can be pretty sluggish, too, I wonder if your presses just aren't registering properly... anyway, you sound like the sort who will got to nand after some initial testing. everything is much, much better on nand.
[Touch CDMA General] [mutex]:
yeah thats what im doing now. everything works fine with the exception of the camera button and like you said stuff works better. anyways, thanks for your help again.

I don't know about anyone else, but my version of Swype ran out and I couldn't use it anymore. Found this. It says it's for the EVO but it works fine on my DInc so far. Download the apk, put on SD card, open it with a file manager (I used ASTRO) and just hit upgrade. At first it said I couldn't install that apk, but I waited 10 seconds and it worked. I hit upgrade and it works flawlessly so far. Also, it's version 1.61

[Droid X General] sbkillz:
I tried to restore my droid using the sbf file and instead it showed up as failed. Now when I try to turn on my droid it says "battery low, code corrupt, cannot program" I left it on the charger for 3 hours and it just became really hot. Does anybody know what to do or is my DX done for? =(
[Droid X General] outkind:
In the dev section there are instructions on how to downgrade from 2.2 to 2.1 using the sbf, should try that out and it will work for you. Unfortunately just flashing without using the extra steps described in that forum will result in what you are experiencing. Even if you are not downgrading still follow the directions.
[Droid X General] zanix:
You should be able to charge your phone with the wall charger when your phone is turned off.
[Droid X General] l3r377:
I would also consider downloading the sbf again. It is possible that the sbf is corrupt or some such thing. And those directions are great, just make to follow them to the T (sorry if you already had, just reinforcing in case).
[Droid X General] inzandity:
It will not take an sbf flash if the battery is under 50%. You can download another working sbf below if you want to try another.

http://destdroid.com/showthread.php?18-How-to-Flash-2.1-(SBF)
[Droid X General] Sko0baQueZ:
None of those are working for him.he said he already sbf'd so im guessing he knows how to downgrade.I had the same problem, all u have to do is purchase a new battery and try it again.the reason why is because the phone is corrupted and the phone does not recognize the battery to keep the charge.
[Droid X General] fused2explod:
No he has only mentioned sbf'ing once so far. My guess is he doesn't know how to downgrade (hasn't done it before) he was just taking a shot at it and it became corrupted. BTW I've done an sbf without the battery at all. It's not difficult, you can setup your pc drivers to do everything with the phone set on "Charge Only". In fact I always use charge only, I think "PC Mode" gives people more issues than "Charge Only". OP please follow full instructions and redownload the sbf file or use MD5 to make sure your download is in full.
[Droid X General] meshdub:
Would you mind elaborating on that or providing the links? Not that I'm having problems with my phone, but I'd like to know more about it.
[Droid X General] Mayfairkid:
You need to find someone to charge your battery. I had the same issue. My battery died in the middle of an SBF and I received the same error. With no programming on the phone, it will not charge. Once I got a friends battery, that was charged, I had no issues with the reflashing of the SBF. Shane.

Has anyone had any recent purchases from Expansys?

I've been reading around their reviews aren't good.

Apparently communication and customer support is bad.
[General Questions and Answers] yjwd40:
Been using them for years, with no major issues.

And they do get the nice "toys" before most
[General Questions and Answers] dr_strangetrick:
They are good in general, just hope you dont have any problems.

I got one of the IMate 8502 earlier on this year for £99 and after a few days the E key stopped working then another week on the L key stopped also.

I dident want to change to a different device as they did not have anything close for the price so I asked them about replacement as the device was no longer under warranty from IMate and they said if I sent it in then it would go to replace/refund depending on stock.

Anyway lots of emails backwards and forwards and they would not do anything unless I sent in the device. So I did reluctantly and I phoned them (this was a mission in itself) and spoke to the customer services manager and asked him if they cant fix please send it back as I could still use it and I did not want a refund if they could not replace.

One week later I got a refund, no call or email when I asked them not to and after numerous emails (all with no reply) I tried calling the manager many many but he was either sick, on leave, in a meeting but never returned my calls.

So as long as your devices does not break then they are great, if you want more proof take a look at their support forum it says a lot.

Hello.

Also bought the same phone from Expansys and had no problem.

I guess keyboard failures can be fixed by opening the phone and fixing the keyboard properly.

[Epic 4G Android Development] hgoldston:
About a day ago I didn't know anything about rooting and what it was but now I know to a degree from many hours of reading.

These are the steps I did.

You have to make sure that you choose the correct one click root method for the DI07 patch. Obviously you need to put the epic in debugging mode and click on the appropriate run.bat command and let the batch run. That part wasn't to hard for me, pretty much self explanatory.

Also to check for "root", to make sure your epic is rooted, download titanium backup from the android market and if it launches your epic is rooted and plus it will say root status "ok"..

The part I had issues with was with the one click clockwork recovery. Especially when people started talking about typing in commands in the dos prompt. I'm ok with doing that but it wasn't explained in full detail regarding what to do.

So first thing that I had to figure out was what they meant by c:/android-sdk-windows/tools and where was this located. I didn't have this file on my cpu on the c: drive and i was lost at this point being that I didn't know where to get it. I later found out and if im wrong please tell me you had to create your own folder on your c: drive so you can point to it from the c: prompt in dos. So I went ahead and did that.

In the tools folder from android-sdk-windows folder you would go ahead and place the contents of the clockwork recovery files in the tools folder. So wahla I now have a folder I can point to in the dos prompt. At this point I still didn't know if this is going to work or not but I felt like I was close.

Next step was to follow "open up command prompt and redirect it to your C:/android-sdk-windows/tools folder and then run the following code."

adb devices

adb shell

su

remount rw

exit

exit

first you need to type cd C:/android-sdk-windows/tools and press enter to point to that folder. And run subsequent commands from there.

If when you type in adb devices and a device does not pull up that means that the usb drivers are not installed properly for the epic phone and you need to look into that first.

After you run those commands now you can go ahead and run the run.bat file for the clock works recovery. But also make sure your still in debugging mode.

This might take a few tries but it will eventually work and if it does not work after trying to flash the recovery and the epic reboots pull the battery (reinstall battery) and then try to go into recovery by pressing the vol down--camera--and power button at the same time and you should see a green recovery screen.

I wish someone had typed something like this sooner so I wouldn't of had issues.

I hope this helps at-least one person.

I know I was trying to follow that but there was parts missing that I didn't understand for ex. the part where I had to create the actual folder it never stated to create a folder but it wanted you to point to it in the dos prompt. And yes that tutorial did help out tremendously but i was still a little lost. My explanation fills in the missing gaps or parts. But thank you for pointing that out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jimmyz:
Maybe with noobnl latest version of the clockwork installer (version 32 with mount rw included in the script) you no longer need to go into adb?

That is correct. Version 32 is truly one-click.;)

I'm not quite as noobish as the OP but I'm a complete noob to Android and -nix os's in general (besides a tiny bit of unix experience and a non-fear of command-line interfaces). Still, I have enough fear of the process to wait until Epic ROMs are a little further along and more refined to the degree that that's possible. If I weren't quite so noobish I'd dive right in.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slickhare:
So I have a friend who is selling a G1 in good condition for $100 US. I'm on AT&T and the Android selection is both limited hardware and software-wise. I'm an aspiring programmer, not necessarily for mobile, but I'd like to start doing something more impressive rather than just console applications on the desktop. I currently have an iPhone 3G and I've been frustrated with how difficult it is to get started as a dev on the platform when you're using a Windows PC. Short of ponying up the hefty fee to be a part of Apple's program options seem limited from what I've found. Android on the other hand seems to be far easier to get started with, as far as accessibility to tools and the devices is concerned. But I'm wondering if the phone is still a sound investment for the price listed even to serve as a programmer's plaything. Any advice?

I'm also wondering if you all think the community will continue to develop for this phone, I'm no expert programmer and I still have a lot of learning to do and could use the guidance of some Android gurus.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] felix1234:
I just bought a G1. It should arrive soon. I plan to use it as my daily phone. Four reasons I am buying: it's cheap ($130 including shipping to the other side of the world), it runs Android (even 2.2!), it has a keyboard and it is white. Let's join this journey together.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raven_raven:
G1 is still great choice. It has awesome community support, runs all Android version you can imagine (from 1.0 to 2.2, from Sense to Motoblur etc.) and with wise tweaking it can really work fast (as far as you don't want to run 10 apps at once). And this fantastic QWERTY keyboard...
