Ok guys...lookin @ your suggestions. working on Beta3 but its delayed till the morning....got a few kinks to work out =) , and already looking @ 2.3 =3
[Vibrant Android Development] ndwgs:
I wet myself when they mentioned earlier that 2.3 has been announced... Looks to me that yet can be ported.

If you finish this ROM and start working on the Ginger, I'll have two that I can switch all the time... Muhahaha!!!

[Vibrant Android Development] :
Lol...TOXIC v1.0 is gonna be out before christmas =) Ill be doing more work on ginger then. Heres a couple of the cool new things coming in v1.0

ALL NEW RINGTONES, BOOT & SHUTSDOWN SOUNDS, custom made by Nouriel

( http://www.myspace.com/nouriekeikun )

FINISHED THEME (Green, Purple, and Stock =) )

Custom Boot & shutdown designed and animated by Me

My goal for v1.0 is to consistently get 1100 on quadrant without lagfix, if I can do that I'll be happy. Other possibilities are Rom Manager support, New kernels, 1.4ghz(maybe)
[Vibrant Android Development] ndwgs:
^^ Maybe?!?!? Dude, if I wasn't on the road alot, or always outside the country, I'll collaborate with you on making atleast 1.3 oc/uv.....

you could do it!

[Vibrant Android Development] :
Testing Beta3 right now.....no multi lock screens yet....but we got reboot and some more tweaks =)
[Vibrant Android Development] BoomBoomPOW:
Awesome news! Thanks for all the hard work Tox =]

Will Beta3 be a no-wipe update? If so, I should disable any lag fixes before flashing huh?
[Vibrant Android Development] mjkute:
good news, thanks for your job that is so great.

Waiting for link :D
[Vibrant Android Development] :
There will always be no wipe updates =) and i would disable lagfixes....its gonna be a bit longer cause the framework edits didnt compile right so now i have to redo them XP
[Vibrant Android Development] :
ok...found the issue....apktool has a bug....should be done shortly =)
[Vibrant Android Development] mjkute:
refesh and refesh but nothing

still waiting ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] :
well......its still not working....and I cant find any valid reason why......ill keep digging
[Vibrant Android Development] :
ok guys....as it stand everything but the reboot menu is working. For some reason apktool will not for some reason, compile framework correctly and so the phone wont boot with the reboot menu edits......looks like its gonna be delayed till I can figure out the issue
[Vibrant Android Development] BoomBoomPOW:
It's alright :-D hmmm, have you tried digging into eugene's macnut builds with regards to the boot options he was able to do?

Anywho, that feature won't make or break your great rom =D
[Vibrant Android Development] mjkute:
hope you'll solve it soon

still waiting :)
[Vibrant Android Development] :
working on narrowing down the reason for the boot loop....if i cant figure it out tonight I'm gonna release Beta3 without reboot
[Vibrant Android Development] IllusiveDreams:
Thanks for the update. Looking forward to it.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
well.....issue almost fixed......booting now =3, but you press the power button and it makes the phone enter a boot loop XP
[Vibrant Android Development] :
believe i found the fix for bootloop issue...its gonna be a while for me to fix, but the latest beta3 will be out is thursday =)
[Vibrant Android Development] BoomBoomPOW:
Very nice, high 5!! =]]
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Reboot Menu Working! =) took forever but got it, adding gingerbread keyboard and a few other finishing touches =)

Did you add the JL1 modem? Seems to be the best with gps...
[Vibrant Android Development] ndwgs:
Eco, 10 - 11? I hope east time, so I get it earlier!!

Post above me: So you think JL1 is a gps fixer?

Sent from the helm of darkness called, the "Vibrant Galaxy"... Using the XDA App!
[Vibrant Android Development] BoomBoomPOW:
+1 JL1 modem is awesome. I actually flashed it on the beta2 ..also the gingerbread kb. =] Haha basically I'm sort of running the beta3 already!
[Vibrant Android Development] traderx2009:
Post above me: So you think JL1 is a gps fixer

For me it absolutely was. It had gotten better with JK6. But now my gps is actually pinpointing me on the road within 16 feet! And I thought I would never have a working gps with this phone... If you have gps woes, do it.
[Vibrant Android Development] ndwgs:
Perfect.. I'll flash then!!

lol XD sorry, I live in illinois, 2 hours north of chicago
[Vibrant Android Development] :
its not to difficult. PM me if you need a step by step =)
[Vibrant Android Development] ndwgs:
Sweet, just got done flashing JL1 modem... Not much difference, but I do get locks on the birds within seconds. Bandwidth increase slightly, but I was clocking my band at 4.5mbps...

So it should work Eco!

[Vibrant Android Development] Spartoi:
Does Beta 3 include the final theme?
[Vibrant Android Development] :
No, I still have to theme many of the system apps....TOXIC v1.0 will have the final theme and that is next, this one has a more polished version of the partial theme though =)
[Vibrant Android Development] Spartoi:
I look forward to it nonetheless.
[Vibrant Android Development] ndwgs:

will the stock apk's be normal install or flash? thx
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Put them on your SD card and install the ones you want =) so normal install......i might make a flashable of certain ones later but im being lazy XP
[Vibrant Android Development] kevinniven:
cool

thx for your work
[Vibrant Android Development] nguyenka1:
Does the headset work with phone calls?
[Vibrant Android Development] glensta:
It does for me - I just tested it.
[Vibrant Android Development] kevinniven:
stock apk

Just downloaded the stock apk pack to SD card but when i go to install using Astro i get install failed. Am I doing something wrong?
[Vibrant Android Development] :
You have to unzip it....the apks are in there =]
[Vibrant Android Development] kevinniven:
ok

I see the apps . astro unzips i thought. I notice it seems to be the samsung widgets that wont install. i will try unzipping before i copy to SD and try again. thx for the help. Just tried unzipping first then installing and the stock samsung widgets wont install. I will mess with it tomorrow see if I can get working.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Also try just copying it into the apps folder and rebooting, it should install then. Sometimes the apks wont like to install normally
[Vibrant Android Development] mjkute:
wow, great

thanks for hard work
[Vibrant Android Development] :
those who flashed the new kernel for the BetaEK version, i apologize but i found it breaks my start scripts so you need to reflash the old kernel, everyone else this is not an update for you....again i apologize =[
[Vibrant Android Development] mjkute:
i just donated to u

thanks for hard work again
[Vibrant Android Development] amorek13:
great job loving it no problem so far, great job

is it possibly to make the tmobile or whatever provider some one is on, in drop down menu a little brighter?
[Vibrant Android Development] BoomBoomPOW:
This room is just smooth sailing all over! You've done an exceptional job cooking this build up, chef! =]

One thing though, no multiple screen lock options.. lol

Also, adding the OCLF app on the SK version was very thoughtful.

Very happy! =]]
[Vibrant Android Development] Jdom58:
Trying Eugenes version beta 3.1 and finding it extremely laggy, anybody else having this issue?
[Vibrant Android Development] BoomBoomPOW:
I highly recommend you try on the SK version. Unbelievable stability and speed. Averaging 1000 on quadrant .. and with lagfix enabled through OCLF app, I average 2000+
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Try setting the min clock to 200mhz. Also what was your battery @?
[Droid Pro General] Xdadevhk:
I have my Droid Pro and I have to say it is BY FAR the best android device I have used (and I have used most of them).

We need to get the Dev community over to this forum and working to make this device even better.

If any senior members see this, let everyone know that Droid Pro needs some TLC.
[Droid Pro General] jayhammy:
AGREED! I came from the Incredible, which is really an amazing device. The Pro, however, suits all my needs professionally. And the keyboard is really kick-ass. Have you tried Swiftkey with this keyboard? it works better on the Pro than it ever did on the DInc.
[Droid Pro General] pman219:
I agree with both of you.

I came from the Eris>Incredible>X I love my PRO.

DEVS please show us some love !

I'm willing to test BTW
[Droid Pro General] white8785:
Port this phone to sprint and I'd leave my Evo in a heart beat. Love the qwerty and android mix. I don't think it can get much sweeter.
[Droid Pro General] pman219:
Maybe if we all ask http://twitter.com/#!/koush politely he will begin working on a recovery for us ?
[Droid Pro General] Rev1vaL:
As soon as some kernels start coming out I'm going to be so happy. I have no problems with blur since I removed a bunch of apps.
[Droid Pro General] jayhammy:
Done via Twitter.
[Droid Pro General] bravisha:
Stock email app

Hey guys, I accidentally deleted my droid pro email.apk file. Can someone please give me a copy of the file or if there is any link from where I can get it?
[Droid Pro General] OneStepAhead:
I know its not what your asking, but you could just install K-9 Mail, it's better then the default client as it supports push mail. email.apk only supports push on gmail. Personally i deleted my email.apk and don't want it back.
[Droid Pro General] joeld82:
I just ordered mine today. I can't wait to get it!
[Droid Pro General] swerve12:
Just got my druid pro now I have to decide between this and the Fascinate. Love the fascinate but very happy with the pro so far
[Droid Pro General] joeld82:
I just got mine and I love it! Im coming from the droid2 and this is definitely better.
[Droid Pro General] bwhite757:
Popularity = Development, and I hate to say it, but this phone simply doesn't have the popularity factor. I am also one that believes this is the beast Android I've owned (out of 4 models) however a lot of the Hardcore Devs look at it as a BB wannabe. The Qwerty is awesome, and coming from a 3 year stint with Touchscreen only keyboards (minus the Droid 1, but I NEVER used its physical keyboard) I didn't realize how much I missed a good physical keyboard. Case in point, you would have never seen me ramble on this much in a reply sent from any other phone simply because I was tired of typing, however with this phone I could just go on and on, but I won't.

I really hope this phone has a huge holiday push so we can see some more Dev love, but I'm really not holding my breathe. I'm happy with the way it is and can live without all the custom Roms if I have to.
[Droid Pro General] jayhammy:
I hear you and I agree 100%. The keyboard is amazing. Have you tried Swiftkey with this keyboard? It makes me fly even faster. The only downside is that the microphone button won't bring up the speech-to-text feature as it does on the stock keyboard. But it's simple to switch between keyboards if you need that feature.

At least we've got root, thanks for Z4Root. Now if we could just get a custom recovery, then it would hopefully be fairly easy for a dev to port a custom ROM from the Droid X to the Pro. Hopefully...
[Nexus One General] master_watch:
Hey everyone,

I just bought myself a brand-new Nexus One from eBay. I noticed that the Nexus One I have was originally purchased from Videotron in Canada and it has a carrier specific firmware.

Now my phone is currently sitting on Froyo 2.2 and when I checked for update the phone just says no update available.

This is what I see under "Menu-->Settings-->About phone"

Android version : 2.2

Core version : 2.6.32.9-27227-g3c9b0d haley@m4-dev #1

Build number : 2.16.405.1 CL223106 release-keys

The phone never been rooted or hacked, it still has the original Videotron tweaked firmware.

My question is:

1. How do I flash my phone to the original Google firmware, so that I don't have to wait for an update?

2. What is the easiest method to root the phone for a Mac user?

3. I used to be an iPhone user and it was very easy for me to back-up the whole contents on the phone and restore them back. Is there an easy way, like a program similar to iTunes that can do this for my Nexus One (back-up the whole contents on the phone, for example my contact, SMS, music, and etc)?

4. Is there a way to install swype without rooting the phone?

Thank you for all you help :)

[Q] Change carrier specific (Videotron) firmware to original Google firmware.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
1: It's easy, but will wipe your phone.

Download this: http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Pas...le_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_MFG_Shipment_ROM.zip

Extract it, and rename the extracted file to passimg.zip and place it on the root of your SD card. Power the phone off, hold Vol- and power it on again, it will detect the file and ask if you wish to install. Install it, reboot and wait for an OTA to the newest Google version (FRG83D currently).

2: To root, you can unlock the bootloader, or take your pick of apps to do it for you, it's all very straight forward regardless of you being a Mac user

3: Nandroid backup from custom recovery after rooting, it does the phone's entire state.

4. Yes, you don't need root at all.
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
It depends if you wanna unlock the bootloader, which will void the warranty!

If you don't care about warranty, do it that way it will be much easier.

If you wanna keep your warranty, follow my tutorial on my website: http://gravufo.kicks-ass.org/android.html

NOTE: When following the tutorial, do NOT download the ROM I am telling you to download, it seems to have issues updating to OTAs, so just take the ROM that Rusty linked!

NOTE2: I assume you speak french, considering you live in Quebec. Sorry if it's not the case ;)

NOTE3: You can simply root with Universal Androot instead of SuperOneClick that I tell you to use in my tutorial (because it's only for Windows). The app can be found here: http://bit.ly/9wAKC5 (write this link in your phone and download/install the app, then root)

Good luck :)
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
I've seen that some of the Videotrons have the 0.35 hboot, so you may not be able to follow Rusty's approach...

Nice write up Gravufo!
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
I've not seen anyone fail to do the swap on Vodafone UK, and some or them have .35 as well, so fingers crossed.
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
Thanks for the compliment :)

And yeah we do have .35 cuz they're all SLCD (Vidéotron JUST launched their new network, so they only have the new Nexus and not the old ones)

Hopefully my tutorial will do the job, I should think of translating it to be able to give a very short answer to everyone in english :D I would already consider it "franglish" now since I'm using so many english terms (I can't stand hearing technology-specific french words, they're awful)
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
My French is pretty poor, and I could follow it! xD
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
lawl xD that's great :D
[Nexus One General] sceg10:
Is the same process by Rusty! could be applied to a Korean Nexus One? Just bought it from KT 1 month ago. I think it is the SLCD version.

Edit: Looks like Rusty!'s approach doesn't work on a Korean N1. Is there any way similar to Rusty!'s without rooting 'cause I want to keep my phone vanilla for now?
[Nexus One General] Snoduz:
An English version of your tutorial would be much appreciated, though I guess Google Translate does an adequate job of it too =P heh
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
BUMP me during the holidays, because I have exams now and it's kinda hard to find time to translate all of it :D
[Nexus One General] SpOuK-3-:
Maybe they can use google translate... BTW, you should update your tutorial with the FRG83D build.

I've sent some info on another forum to gravufo... And, I attached the update.zip from FRG83 to FRG83D
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
Still gonna want to test it before making it happen... It would be easier if there was a complete rom going to FRG83D... but meh :D
[Nexus One General] Delarn:
I did your tutorial and I'm glad I did a backup. Didn't work at all. I tried to install and the zip always returned has bad.
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
For those of you wondering why it's not working, it's because I'm doing a few tests...it will be fixed in a matter of hours!

@Delarn, continue la conversation en PM s.v.p :)
[Nexus One General] Delarn:
I have to say not al didn't work tho. It was when I tried to install the ROM. It returned has bad. I downloaded other roms from rusty's link and they all returned bad. I'll try it later. Maybe I could ask GravUFO to help me by phone. I just need to know if he is ok to call a stranger.
[Nexus One General] Delarn:
It worked with GravUFO rom and it rock!!!
[Nexus One General] goonieboy:
Hi

Did you use rusty's tutorial and just use GravUFO rom??? can u please let me know exactly the steps you took? thanks
[Nexus One General] Delarn:
I used GravUfo tutorial and rom.
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
BTW, for everyone who wants to use my tutorial, I moved it directly to a Videotron-hosted page, so it will have 99.99% uptime.

I also placed the files on mediafire to make the download faster for you and to prevent my internet from getting killed by massive upload ^^

here is the new website: http://pages.videotron.com/gravufo/android.html
[Nexus One General] Delarn:
Lol hope they will not kill it. They are so proud of their rom. By the way this is the best tutorial for flashing it.
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
haha, no they won't kill it! There is a clear disclaimer notifying the users that following this tutorial MAY kill the warranty (though in theory, if well done, they can't even see it...anyways, even I have returned a Nexus to Videotron without a problem after having followed my own "stock" tutorial)

Also, I don't think they spy on their clients' pages :P

Lastly, it is not illegal, so no reason to kill it...killing it would actually be illegal though ^^

And thanks for the compliments...during vacation, I might spend a few hours installing Dreamweaver and putting a few templates to make it look nicer and scare away less newbies ;)

Might also make a translation for it, will see :) I'll probably update it when a full Gingerbread ROM gets there too...might even make the tutorial easier by making a .bat script that would input all the commands automatically :eek:
[Nexus One General] labbbby:
Nice contribution gravufo.

Will send my friends with the Videotron N1 that way =)
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
Glad to be of help!

And I just thought about it, I should add the link into my sig ^^
[Nexus One General] dhomas:
Thanks, Gravufo! Worked like a charm on my Videotron N1. I finally have bluetooth voice dialing!

Great work!

Dhomas
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
Glad to be of help ;)

Mais tu ne pouvais pas avoir de bluetooth voice dialing avant? Il suffisait juste d'installer l'app "Voice Search" et tu aurais eu toutes les commandes vocales :) En anglais bien sûr!

Translation:

But you couldn't voice dial through your bluetooth headset before? All you needed was the "Voice Search" app from Google and you would've gotten all the voice actions...in English of course!
[Nexus One General] dhomas:
Oui, j'avais deja l'application voice search, mais le probleme etait qu'il ne reconnaissait pas quand je cliquais sur le bouton de mon ecouteur BT; il fallait toujours que je le fasse a partir du telephone lui-meme. C'est une fonction, "Voice Dialer", qui a apparement ete ajoute dans 2.2.1.

Maintenant, j'attends juste Gingerbread! ;)

Apparently, I need to add an English translation to this post. Here goes:

"yes, I already had the 'voice search' app, but the problem was that it wouldn't recognize when I would click on my bluetooth headset's button; I always needed to activate it from the phone itself. It's a feature, 'Voice Dialer', which was apparently added in 2.2.1.

Now all I need is Gingerbread! ;) "
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
Ah! Possible, je l'ai remarque, mais je ne me souvenais pas quand :P

C'est cool, donc le bouton du Bluetooth headset active cette app automatiquement? Nice, j'ai hate de me procurer un headset, j'en ai besoin haha :P

A+

/EndOfFrenchText

Translation:

Ah! Possible, I noticed it, but couldn't remember when :P

It's cool, so the bluetooth headset button automatically activates that app? Nice, I'm eager to get my own headset, I kinda need one :P
[Nexus One General] cybik:
<french>

Bah, en suivant son tutoriel, justement, tu peux flasher CyanogenMod 7 (nightly sur mirror.teamdouche.net) sur ton N1. Ça roule #1, j'ai flashé deux N1 Vidéotron avec et ça a l'air de pas exploser :) (et je la roule sur mon N1 sur Bell, il explose pas présentement)

Par contre, je recommanderais d'utiliser AmonRA 2.0.0 - c'est mon point de référence, il fonctionne correctement sur les compatibles Bell/Telus et les Vidéotron. C'est un brin plus récent que la 1.9 et probablement un brin plus stable aussi :P

</french>

<english>

Using his tutorial, you -can- flash CyanogenMod 7 (nightlies be on mirror.teamdouche.net) on your N1. Runs awesomely, I flashed two Vidéotron N1's and they didn't explode yet ;) (and I use the latest on my Bell-compatible N1, which still functions, too :P)

Although, I'd recommend using AmonRA 2.0.0 - it's my reference version, it runs well on Bell/Telus/Rogers N1s and the Vidéotron ones. A bit more recent than the 1.9 alpha and probably a bit more stable, too!

</english>
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
Sure, even amon_ra 2.2.1 is better, since amon_ra managed to reduce the size of the file, making it compatible to even more phones (especially the ones with tons of bad memory blocks).

I provide the 1.9 alpha version solely because it has signature verification disabled by default, making it possible for newbs to receive OTA updates!

PS: Let's stop annoying the mods with French ;)
[Nexus One General] Noonski:
+1 I got better thing to do, like flashing my latest ROM.

Subscribing to thread to see how much more French I will learn.
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
hehe go ahead, anyways French isn't that hard you'll see ;)

/sarcasm :cool:
[Nexus One General] LFact:
Since latest ones are shipped with 2.2.1, using 2.2 firmware for reverting back to stock won't work for them. Fortunately, some user could get 2.2.1 passimg.zip for Nexus One(KT) lately....
[Nexus One General] daft.71:
It seems that the firmware provided by Videotron does things so it can properly support their network. When running Google's original firmware or CyanogenMod 7 on our Nexus One, when we completely lose radio signal, Google re-ask us to log in due to a Sign-in Error.
