Preview of the G1-Dream ROM

Ok guys, the ROM it's not much customized, there is inside just the HTC YouTube player, for the rest it seems a clean Android base system.
Some screenshot:

It's very difficult because the ROM it's de facto a linux system with his initrd, totally different from our actual HTC ROM.

there is an sdk for android.. jus google it and u will be sure to find it

did you take those screenshots?

If I buy the HTC Dream in Taiwan,
with a traditional chinese ROM,
do you think it will be easier to flash the ROM compared to windows mobile?
I usually wanted to buy a HTC Touch Pro in Taiwan,
but if flashing the ROM doesn't work right,
the phone is waistet money.
But Android is open, so it will be easy no?

i'm happy to see you are working on this i like this OS and want to have it running on my Polaris instead the R1 Syrius .
Thanks for the work you made.

Ignore this post

if you guy want to run a sample
i gave instruction in my thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432505
it doesn't have all the things his rom has but it works and looks the same

I remember time when I tried to put Linux mandrake on my laptop 5 years ago. It was disaster and a lot of headake during 5 month before I could get drivers for integrated ATI 3D chip and AMD cool n quite module. So I guess you need to bee big pro to make all neccessary drivers for each device to make android working , for example on Polaris

On your laptop, why don't you just get a LiveCD or LiveDVD? Runs the entire operating system off of a disc, no need to install anything. Just boot up, choose "boot from CD" and you're good to go. Linux = Godly

5 years ago there was not live CDs

There were live CDs as long ago as 8 years. Knoppix was one of the first (and best).
Linux has come a long way since then. As long as you're not buying serial-number "1" of any piece of hardware, you should be ok nowadays.

Virtual keyboard
hey is that a virtual keyboard that you designed for the android OS, or is that stock, cause the g1 isnt released with a virtual keyboard, and sure looks like one.... and it looks really nice...

Yeah where does this virtual keyboard comes from ??? it looks very very good but it's the first time I see it.

JF preps CRC1-based build & tips on circumventing OTA for JF US/EU users

CRC1 patch is hitting the interwebs. Notable Android hacker JesusFreke issued the following update on his blog for those running JF1.51 US/EU builds:
http://jf.andblogs.net/ said:
OTAs in JFv1.51
July 19, 2009 If you are on the US or EU versions of JFv1.51, you’ll likely get an OTA update notification soon, if you haven’t already. I had accidentally left in the otacerts.zip file, which allows OTAs to be downloaded and verified.
For now, there are a few possible work arounds.
1. delete the otacerts.zip file manually. The file is at /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip But keep in mind if you use this method your phone will continuously re-down the OTA and try to verify it, which is bad on your bandwidth usage and your battery life
2. Replace /system/build.prop on your phone with the one from the ADP1 version of JFv1.51
3. chmod 000 the OTA file in /cache (unconfirmed solution, but is likely to work)
Or you can ignore the popups for now, and wait for my new release based on the new update (CRC1). I promise to “disable” the OTA mechanisms in a better way than simply deleting otacerts.zip

. I should be able to get something out soon (next few days)
In the meantime, even if you accidentally hit “accept” on the popup, it won’t be able to install the update when it gets into recovery, so you aren’t at risk of losing root access.

Why do you feel bad? You're not betraying anyone as you're not obligated to just one dev. I appreciate all the devs out there, equally.

no need to feel bad; CyanogenMod is a DF derivative

I wonder if he will make it support ext3

I know I shouldn't, but that's just the type of person I am. When I like something I become loyal to it weither it be a certian Rom or dev, or just something in general I guess. I call it loyalty some people call it being close minded

This kind of mentality can breed what is affectionately called "fanboyism".

Can breed, doesn't have to breed. Like I stay loyal to JF because I'm not a fan of roms that contain many ported apps. It's mostly bloat to me, as I don't need to take advantage of it all.
Cyanogen's roms would be interesting to give a try to sometime down the road. But I'm happy on my JF ADP build, it's close enough to stock (without the bloatware the US builds add in) to be compatible and runs light enough to work snappily.

"This is serious. The only thing you can do to prevent it is turn off your phone," Miller told Forbes. "Someone could pretty quickly take over every iPhone in the world with this."
The iPhone SMS bug is just one of a series that the researchers plan to reveal in their talk. They say they've also found a similar texting bug in Windows Mobile that allows complete remote control of Microsoft ( MSFT - news - people )-based devices. Another pair of SMS bugs in the iPhone and Google's ( GOOG - news - people ) Android phones would purportedly allow a hacker to knock a phone off its wireless network for about 10 seconds with a series of text messages. The trick could be repeated again and again to keep the user offline, Miller says. Though Google has patched the Android flaw, this second iPhone bug also remains unpatched, he adds.
The new round of bugs aren't the first that Miller has dug up in the iPhone's code. In 2007, he became the first to remotely hijack the iPhone using a flaw in its browser. But while that vulnerability gave the attacker a similar power over the phone's functions, it required tricking the user into visiting an infected Web site to invisibly download a piece of malicious software. When Miller alerted Apple in July of that year, the company patched the vulnerability before Miller publicized the bug at the Black Hat conference the following month. ("See: Hacking the iPhone.")

retro boot ani

Hey all i was thinking about modding the retro boot ani and thought i would post here and see if anyone had any suggestions or would be interested in me posting the finished ani. Basically all i am thinking about doing atm is adding some sound. maybe some beeps like and old computer bios posting and then a dial up modem connecting when the ani getts to the 3G connecting part then when the android comes up and android is spelt out have it fade to static and the have it make the "DROID" noise. ait is gonna take a bit of work on my part cause i have no idea how to get the timing right but i am gonna try.
any help or suggestions would be appreciated, and if anyone want to take a shot at this or wants my finished product let me know.

All I can say is good luck lol The sound is a tricky issue as many ROM developers disable the bootup sounds (In case your phone accidentally reboots in a meeting or class lol could cause trouble). If I may make a suggestion though, don't go with the old bios boot animation that's floating around; I already updated it for Android 2.2 and themed it for a few ROMs (as well as making a generic one). Check the link in my sig for the thread to download the updated ones. As I'm typing this, I was thinking, you're probably gonna have your best luck starting simple. I would just try and add a beep to start with towards the beginning. Reason I say this is, before I got started on Android, I was and am a musician and I have a home studio. One of the trickiest things to do is to get audio and video that were recorded/created separately to sync up in post production. It's tricky on a $5000 dual quad-core Mac Pro tower with 12gb of physical RAM, so just imagine that it's gonna be a migraine and a half trying to do it on a phone... I would say, due to the widely varying different kernel and ROM configurations out there, that syncing up any multiple audio/video events that would then work on any phone would be damned near impossible. I'm not saying don't try it, hell I'll help any way I can, but I just want you to be aware of what you're getting in to... If I didn't already say so, AWESOME idea though ^_^ I think I would J.I.M.P. if Gingerbread allowed you to use a short .avi or .mp4 (more likely) video as a boot animation, then it would be easy to do what you're talkin about! We can only hope and dream... Keep me posted bro!

thanks for your response and yes i am aware it will be a head-ache. i once spliced together video i shot of my buddys band on a handycam with audio that was professionally recorded of the show. while it wasn't to bad i did have to deal with syncing chunks at a time cause the guy that edited the audio broke it into diff songs for one and i also had a couple times when the cam shut off. mostly i was just posting to see if after i do all this work on it would anyone else even want it also lol. the one i have now it one of the ones made for the incredible i believe i will have to pull it apart and double check tho.
again thanks for your intrest

[Q][SOLVED]Possible Brick, can still see files with adb

Hello all,
I was trying to install CWM on my transformer, and I was successful. The issue is that now I cannot start my transformer. When I press the power button, it turns on and comes to the screen with "Eee Pad" in the middle with Asus at the bottom and the Tegra logo below that. It sits at this screen with the speakers making a popping sound.
I followed the tutorial at this link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk_JREpqFkk
I had already done the one click root in the dev section, and I followed the tutorial in the description of the link above, I didn't know it was going through rooting before getting to install CWM, so I followed all the steps. I finally got to the end and tested to see if CWM was installed and it is. but I am having the issue I described above.
I want to flash a new ROM, but there are files I need to get off the internal storage, the CWM backup didn't get the files I wanted.
I decided to run ADB to try and get the files, it is able to list everything on the device, but when I issue the "pull" command, it says "error: device not found."
Is there any hope of getting my files off of this before I just flash a ROM since CWM is working? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I guess my next question is if I were to go ahead and flash a new ROM, will it touch the internal "SDCARD" folder? As I mentioned before I have a nandroid backup of all my apps, so that isn't an issue right now.

Flashing a rom won't touch your SDCARD folder. Now that you have CWM on there, I would do a wipe and reflash whatever ROM you're using. If your device is showing a boot screen at all, its not bricked.

Well I went ahead and did a wipe and flash of Krakd. Turns out I did lose the files on the internal storage. This will be a lesson learned for me, get a better backup system in place. I lost half of my semesters notes due to my impatience to get to a new ROM. *Note to self: Don't flash ROMs just before college finals week.*
I had most of my files backing up to dropbox with SugarSync, but a small chunk which happens to be the chunk I need for my final exams is lost. Unless flashing the ROM hid my files in some other directory it seems they are gone.
I do thank you for trying to help me out, and I am typing this from my Transformer, so it is back up and running, restoring all my apps. And I do have to say that Krakd is one hell of a fast ROM compared to stock, theres barely a hiccup even while it is restoring 150+ apps from my google account.
EDIT:
Actually I just realized that even though SugarSync was turned off on my PC, it was still backing up online automatically so I have recovered most of my notes. So as a message to everyone else, get sugarsync set up, it automatically syncs your files in the background, and it turned out to be a big life saver for me.

Possible Brick....
Can still see files with adb....
FYI
In the strictest sense of the term, bricking must imply that software error has rendered the device completely unrecoverable without some hardware replacement.
It was never a brick, the only bricks around are the ones that dropped from your arse when you couldnt boot the tablet.

Haha, I like that line, definitely true.
I did realize that the term 'brick' meant that the device was just as useful as a brick when that actually occurred, I just wanted to get some attention to the thread to possibly get it fixed sooner. If anything it was a soft brick.

Don't take it personally. You have more knowledge about Android software and hardware than I do, if you were at my level of knowledge I'm sure you'd want as many brains as you could looking at the issue to help out. I wasn't doing it to be a 'chump.'
I rarely ask questions on here because after enough searching around, I usually find a solution has already been found to my problem. This case was one of those times where I could not find a similar issue to solve my problem, and to me it was a time-sensitive problem.

Here we have what Google owned Motorola has created with Project Ara. A concept to bring the flexibility and open source that Google's android brought to software to the hardware side. A modular phone that you can customize. Why buy a new phone when you can just upgrade the one you have?
Build it to your liking, take it apart and build it better! And there even bring the ability use your 3D printer to customize it (I know you all have a 3D printer by now.... Right?)
Then we have the Build your own phone plan by Zact.
Currently on the sprint network, (I hope they expend or someone picks up on this and moves to something with a bit more... SERVICE.) You can pick how many minutes, text messages, and Mb of data you have or don't have, each month. If your realize that you need more minutes, text, or Mb, you just click a button and add them. If you have extra they roll over. How can it get any better? Oh, you have kids? You can set times, and limits on EVERYTHING! or don't. Your choice, and that's what makes it AMAZING.
All this mixed in with Android, makes it the perfect phone to build and create anything you can imagine in a phone. Unfortunately, I don't see Zact adding this phone to its list of phones for sale anytime soon, and currently Zact has "custom software" that means you can only buy there phones for there plans, and you can't install custom roms or anything that might cause the software to stop working because it would leave you left with a brick, and they do not have insurance. But... where there is android, there are devs and devs can do anything with time and support.
So, the future of cell phones is looking promising. If there are enough people interested in this stuff, support the developers. Comment on the xda forums and let them know that you want them to support Zact phones. Lets get the ball rolling on this.
I am starting my Zact plan for Christmas, and I will be flashing my prl's to roam because as of now, Zact roaming is free and roaming services at my house is better then sprint service.
The future looks promising! Let me know what you guys think!

future
nice phone...

Don't forget to help support project Ara on their dScout page!:good:

I got my phones a few days ago, it only took 2 weeks... I started it up, ran through the setup, wasnt thinking but aloud the OTA to run. I ran cf auto root, noticed I still didnt have su so I installed superuser from the appstore and checked root with root checker. Nothing. Then I remembered that I installed the OTA to 4.3 but forgot about Knox because I had not had to deal with it prior. I did just about everything I could think of. I also found that trying to retrieve your msl/spc is a lot harder. I am unable to get into the qualcomm usb menu because it asked for the msl, Most hidden menus are asking for msl. I attempted to install twrp but it says there is no recover found for my device. I cant connect it to dfs or cdma workshop. adb sees it, but I dont know much about adb so I want able to do much with it. I was however able to copy the ZACT mobile apk from the phone and install it to another phone. It is unstable and FC alot. My other phone sees it as a launcer like touchwiz or nova. Thought this would be a good idea to see what the apk itself controls on another phone. I am not a developer. I am computer savy and have been playing with flashing for a long time. If anyone is interested in teaching me a little, I would like make a backup of the rom. Is there a way to pull the full rom with pre-installed apks, I can factory rest back to start and just see whats available. I'd like to attempt to flash it to my old s3 make a clone kinda. So i can test an play with one without damaging my daily phone. Any thoughts or ideas on what to test let me know.

Nice

Just to set the record straight...in no way did Motorola create this idea. This was a concept created by Dave Hakkens. His concept was called Phonebloks. Motorola did some sort of deal to license the concept or something. Just don't go around saying someone created something when they didn't...its like saying Apple made the smartphone.
