Hey You might remember me? i was the guy who tried (and failed mind that) to port the ophone, and my laptop burned out on me....
*you shall be missed
, right ill cut a long story short, me beeing a UK resident means i cant use the native IM.apk over here no matter what, then i remembered back to the days of JF and his RC8 builds worked with the built in IM app with a little tool called Droidsans Tweaktools
and it wasnt untill now i had a major idea, But then i hit a wall it backfired on me and thats where i need some help
See, i took the JFRC8 build enviroment , Got cyanongens 3.4.6 build and replaced the apps, But this is what baffles me right here? why wont it boot after i've signed it? (and wiped) Ive copied across all these files
- added com.android.term.apk to /system/app
- IM.apk
- IMCredentialProvider.apk
- IMProviders.apk
- com.amazon.mp3.apk
- added VoiceDialer.apk, which was built from the source in git

Still no luck... its either this or somehow i could be pointed into the direction of how the cracked .odex file that made it use data instead of sms actually worked ... now, I dont know how hard it would be but i have to original .odex file ripped straight from the droidsans app with me here, if anyone wants me to upload it?
I can also upload the update.zip im trying to use with alot of fail? just incase you guys wanna look at it?
Guys i've hit a brick wall here, i know its not the smartest thing in the world as i can hear the thousands of
use ebuddy, use blaablaablaa

But i just want to say i always found the original to be the best and this has been the mayjor downfall in all the new builds is that its never going to work with the new IM apps, but the old one, worked better anyway!
anyone like to give us a few pointers? i pulled the .apks straight out of JFs build env
BTW, i have searched, nothing came close to a reall answer, they all said email droidsans i have with no luck, ive tried my self, close sometimes, but no cigar really, so.. now i ask you... anyone? what have i done wrong?
*please dont move this post, it does concern Android develepment
A quick note on the side, i did include a theme into the update.. would it be wise to start again, take out my music player from hero and just copy over one file at a time? I dont know why but IM.apk, Causes a crash no matter what?
Started again, this time just the full monty no theme no music just added im files flashing now
Result time......
Nope failed
Click to expand...

Should i take out the apks that are dependednt on the new im? any pointers as to which ones i should remove, this whole thing was a sudden inspiration of annoyedness at all the ims on the market :L
OK BREAKKTHROUGH!! Here we have it.. my idea, the idea im going to use just after my phone boots up (new update, just hero theme and music player)... put the IM.apk and other files on the sd, then we have both new and old ims and the odex file goes on the sd too,, its so perfect its untrue, i jut hope it works
SUCSESSS!!!! No longer am i gettting the dreaded not a tmobile sim bla bla bla message, comment me if u want me to explain how i did it, (Mind this howevr, im still waery i havent yet been able to sign in because of tmobiles awfull 3g in my area, but its a working progress and im sure its working now )
Scrap that, it didnt work... hmmm this is fustrating me, all i need is to sucessfully port that IM app over and ill have cracked it!!!
Running out of space so sorry for the double post but im off for an interview...
ILL get home around 23:00 GMT (off out after ) So, ill upload my results on how MSN has acted throughout the day and how well it runs
This will be a 2 part process, it will require you to adb some files across and A2SD is required, Ill explain all when i get home if its all still running
I've contacted Cyanogen and asked him whether he whould be intrested in this ill notify as soon as i get a reply :d
I'm very interested in this!!!!
Please, write an howto!!!!
Am i missing somthing?
I maybe missing somthing here but I'm in the UK and I use the IM app for MSN and AOL. Im. Using cyan 3.5.2 at present. What's the difference between what I do and what you want to do?
If you aren't a T-Mobile customer you cannot connect...
I'm a tmobile customer in the uk and I've never been able to use the native msn, it says my number is unable to be read from the sim card.
I hope you can get this working, if its anything like the native google talk app it would beat using meebo for msn!

Basicly it is the native google talk app, im having a few difficulties with getting the file across and have android sucsesfully boot with it there, but it really cant be that hard
Maybe you should try JF's dex decompiler and try to hack the latest IM.apk instead?
Or actually getting the source for the IM.apk from android.com would be easier!
Then maybe you could remove the number sim card check so we can just bypass it?

Im going to try working on this now, dont know much but im gonna give it my best shot... also im going to clean up the 1st post... the more idea's i can get the easier it will be for this to happen, my current plan is to take a build, look insidde IM.apk with a tool like winrar just like i do to theme and see some clues as to what makes it force to use sms then try change it to use data instead... i hope it works

Which is why i regret to inform, this isnt going to be the easy fix i imagined, It turns out all i did last time was get lucky when i flashed it accros, i got the old im.apk, rebooted and it stalled on android screen so thats deffo a no go
im going to try the new IM.apk idea now wish me luck
I think i've made progress.. inside the IM.apk theres a file called android manifest
inside there theres alot! and i mean ALOT!! of text, but heres the best bit,
Read this

I know thats the permisions, so its not that, but i find it cool it says internet, that prooves one thing that it is possible to do it ?
Ok even more progress, turns out, I know whats changed now between 1.1 and1.5 i think, Theres a new file called TmobileImplugin.apk or someting similar, im guessing that now MSN lies in there ?
I live in Australia and used to be able to get the native IM client to work over WiFi, but even that doesn't work anymore, but that might have something to do with the internet permission??

I've decompiled the latest APK ermm.. now where do i start :L:L
maybe cyanogen would be the one to ask, i think a lot of his rom is made up from the latest source that he compiles
I decompiled the TmoImPlugin and there is nothing in there at all that implements any of the IM protocols for data like Oscar. It's all just proxies to TMO services.
Does that mean the checks aren't done in the app but on the server?
Good Job
Keep up the good work. I would also like to see this working. Meebo has been on the fritz lately.

Hi all, these PDA gadgets is all new to me so I thought I would start with something quite cheap (in case I am too thick and cannot follow)..
So I got this XDA but i can't really find any use with it.. Most webpages i come across saying that its in-compatible and also the pre-loaded MSN messenger saying that it won;t work with that version( then why on earth is that pre-installed?) also the webmessenger again is not working... nor the ICQ... So.. what exactly can i do with it??
bit fustrating really..
Sorry if my questions have been covered but doing a search and seems that everything is too techy like different ROM and things that I do not seemto understand too well..
Thanks in advance..
ms have a update of messenger which is required
to be installed because the version of messenger in the rom
is OLD
re webbrowser.
Use a new browser, ou multie or tweak2k to change broswer's 'id' so it's seen as internet explorer for compatibility.
V
hmmmm.. ok ... cheers for the info.. now the next question is.. How and what do i need to update??
which Rom can help me to browse?? Also i guess there is no way out about the messenger then.,...??
thank you
as i said ms have an update you have to run to get messenger working
if you get a newer rom it may not be necessary though
can you tell me if that update is downloadable and where??
or what is the version called?
thank you so much
it's always the last place you look

Hey, I've finally got around to getting root access on the g1, I've got the multi touch which I think is pretty cool and auto rotate. What else could I do with my new found freedom? Getting apps to install to memory card is next on the list (will do it tonight if I can get my head around the instructions) but is there anything else I can do that's useful or any cool ? Also what can I do if I install debian, anything at this point? Think that's about it.. thans in advance.... dan
Themes, maybe. Give your G1 a unique look.
I'm sure you may have them already but download screenshot and task manager. I would definatly go for a theme, there are some really awesome ones out there. You can delete unwanted ringtones, alarms, notifications too like i did!
tether start
tether stop
making my phone a wireless modem/router was pretty much the whole reason i took root.
help with 4 really needed
1)im looking for theme but being a uk (rc8) user there doesnt seem to be much of a selection out there
2)ive not actually got screenshot will grab that and task manager
3)I was under the impresion the tethering wasnt too great and we wernt able to share the internet connection from the phone (to access everything at least) wirelessly or wired? Please correct me if Im wrong as this would be ace.
4)Im trying to install a custom boot image however im not able to get the androids with skates up (definatly had this earlier) yet the recovery images seems ok, have installed hard spl.. am a bit confused on this on, anyone able to help?
Cheers.
ok well i got the tethering done an im impressed does all i need it too.. shame its not secure but im not all that worried .
just incase anyone wants the instructions i found them here:
http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f28/im-wirelessly-tethering-through-my-g1-11555/
yup my main reason for the root acces was themes and tether
Right I've managed to get a theme on here but I don't seem to have browser auto rotate or multi touch, anyone have any ideas? Cheers again
I'm new to all this too, and had the same thought immediately after getting root for the first time! One of the first things i did was put caches onto the sd card. If you are always getting low memory warnings than this will help! I followed THIS guide to do it.
I will try my first theme tonight after I charge up my phone.
I guess a question I have is, what are the benefits of adp 1.1 and Fastboot? Is it something that I should do or just something that I could do, if that makes any sense? Right now just putting JF's 1.41 rc30 on is a big enough deal, to give you an idea of where I am in regards with this scene right now.
Thanks!
Install HardSPL, it can come in handy if something goes wrong and you need it to flash boot screens.

If you install a new theme on JF 1.41 you will loose multitouch and autorotate. Here is a link to JF's browser.apk to fix your problem. hope this helps.

Hi everybody I have a dev phone with JFv43 adp 1.1 h rom
I live in france and I wanted to know if there was a solution to have a more european number format?
it's kinda disturbing when dialing a number to see number like
123-456-7890
Maybe I should just install an UK version but since I have a dev phone I wanted to know if I could just modify some config files
I have made a image that is a mix of holiday and RC9 which solves this, If you are intrested drop me a message.
anyway you could host on rapidshare mate?
Sorry for double post but.. Is this just JFsAPD1.1h With a rc 9 input entry method? Because i would really appreaciate been able to keep my adp to a JF ADP build but with using euro input
Because, When i tried to do this.. it just crashed on install lol
I'd quite like to know the process you went through to change to the european number system.
+1
Me too would like ADP 1.1 with UK dial pattern
Intersted !
WOW lol It's my idea !!!!
First first first !!
Hi, I have it working but not on the LucidREM (apps on SDCard) version yet, this is mainly because I dont have anything that can read microSD yet (well other then the phone and cant set up the partitions on that) I will try and get my hands on a microSD to SD thingy and put links to both versions when I have it working. Lol never knew the dial pattern anoyed anyone else but me

Oh trust me my fellow androider! You are not alone, That thing is possibly the only reason i kept wanting to update back to RC9 Alot, But Forced my self to stay on ADP I mean, I pay for a phone.. And im actually with tmobile, (Stupid. I know? Just get a G1 right.? Wrong! I dont live in a area with good T-Mobile Signal at work.. So i have to switch sims, Annoying but, Thats the only way + I wasnt Eligable for a upgrade yet.. anyhow, Less bout my life) Just to say, I'd love to be 1st in on testing this lol
(But, Is there 2 separate Versions.. I hate Having Apps on SD Card IMHO its just too much of a pain when i swap my mem card round... Mehh, Fussy? But What can i do
Anyway, Hit us up when its uploaded I'd love to see this working on my G1, Show off to my mates who think its annoying! LIKE UP YOURS DUDE!! ITS ENGLISH
Hi peeps,
Just to let you know these images are a mix of ADP1.1h and RC9 so I can't claim its one or the other they both fix the US Dialer and other local issues. A few people have expressed an intrested in what I did to make this so I will do a write up soon (its not really that intresting to be honest)
***The Links***
http://chrishowells.co.uk/JFv1.43_HolidayRC9_enuk.zip (Normal JF Image, Busybox, Latitude, Voice Search, UK Dialer)
http://chrishowells.co.uk/JFv1.43_HolidayRC9_MOD_enuk.zip (LucidREM Image, BusyBox, Apps to SD, Latitude, Voice Search, UK Dialer)
I have removed the Amazon MP3 Store from both of the images as it only works in the US and if you want a UK Dialer I assume you don't live there
I have took Terminal Emulator out of the 'Normal' Image so you can get the updated version from the market and use that that instead. I have left it in the LucidREM image because if you download it and then use the script to copy it to SD card it ends in a bang. I will at somepoint just stick the new version into to LucidREMs image so it installs from update.zip and you won't get the update available anymore.
Again thanks to JF for making all the posh images to start with and to LucidREM for adding Apps to SD Support I am currently using your lovely work at the moment
As always let me know what you think of my changes and if you have any problems with it.
Peepo
Just a quick question, will this overcome the problem I'm having with the voice dialler giving US number format and messing it all up?
haha As first tester of these images Let me tell you it worked like a charm
Since I'm french i don't use voice dialer and my english is not good enough to start speaking with my phone in english
i've just made a try it seems to be good on voice dialer.
Not tried it on voice dialer yet. I am currently on a train so would look pretty silly trying it now will let you know soon.

As far as I can tell voice dialer is showing numbers in none US format, however it's still as useless as its always been at getting the number right
thanks for the info folks. Pity the voice function isn't as good as on my Nokia N95 8GB!
Wow! Thanks
Hi ive updated from the newest adp to your uk version (normal not lucid) and im not seeing the change in the dialer.
Do i NEED to do a wipe? as i'd prefer not to.
Thanks

Not 100% sure about that one I have been changing my image so often over the past few days I've been wiping all the time. I am currently using the normal one again and I do have the UK dialer but that was after a wipe.
Had to do a wipe and then i got the new layout. Now it doesnt have any formatting. i guess thats a good thing!
Still would like to be illuminated on your process since in theroy JF will be coming out with a new version soon
http://forum.androidcentral.com/spr...eek-working-donut-cdma-hero-12.html#post35717
If you guys haven't seen it, i'm in the process of installing itn ow to check it out.
To clairfy its not perfect, but it's got everything working but bluetooth. Still has some bugs, but its in the process.
been using this ROM since yesterday. Works very well. It was also covered on XDA here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622523
Yep. Its in the rom wiki. I'm actually running it now.
Used fresh kitchen to push googlebits. Its pretty fast, like some of the changes, not the keyboard. I would like to see this rom with espresso.
Oh i didnt notice it was on the wiki, honestly i never check it.
Do you guys know if it has the market, or is the only way to put apps on it is manually
Edit: After reading through the read i saw my answer, nevermind.
You have to manually install all of the google apps then you will have market.

Just finishing doing that. Have to say, 1.6 is fast. I have no use for bluetooth personally, so i think i may rock thier for a while if it stays this stable.
You can fix the dictionary by flashing this file Flipz hooked us up with:
http://www.4shared.com/file/178486181/ca22758f/ime_update-signed.html
Reboot after.
If for whatever reason that doesn't work (i was flashing/re-flashing for a while prior to ensuring this fix did the trick) here is the original post by Flipz with good instructions on manually fixing the dictionary.

Thank you for that, i just applied it.
Do you happen to have the original post? After applying that, the onscreen keyboard doesnt come up anymore? theres no keyboard installed according to the phone.
Yeah, it is pretty slick. I would really like sense mixed in though.
i am personally tired of sense, i would LOVE this if bt worked
i used it everyday t work (I work at sprint) and I use it every night on phone..
Love Sense but after trying this ROM I can't believe how much faster things work with Vanilla - wouldn't miss Sense at all. What I WOULD miss is the HTC Music Player, Calendar, and Dialer.
And HTC Keyboard....Couldn't get touch input to work on this ROM.
headphones not working
I just installed the 1.6 ASOP and did the whole signed download after loading and everything but I cannot get my headphones to register on the phone when ever i listen to music it just comes out of the speaker not headphones any one else with this problem
I can confirm that..That is a bummer. Back to fresh
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5195304&postcount=4
Opps, sorry for that. Here is the original post from Flipz. I was afraid that it would not work. Follow his instructions and then adb push it over. This I can assure you works.
figures...just whiped Thanks though!
any news on bluetooth working? or progress?
I wanna run this as my daily but without bt i cant even think about it :/

You will need WM6.5 on your phone for this to work.

why are you calling this a theme? you've just grabbed a bunch of other peoples work (.cabs) and installed them on you phone...
and you need Window Mobile 6.5 for almost all of these to work.

what im tired this all im trying to do is make somthing for us that uses wm7 but its a titanuim plus the orignal one doest have that much on it .thats why i descided to put all these plugins into one file so you dont have to go download one by one and other noncence
wm
plus is intructions but you will have find my other threads by going to my profile and searching them plus i making this thing that changes your startmenu and making the xboxlive plugin for it to just for this theme so far i just add cool stuff to it to make it better like this other guy who made this nice plugin cant remember his name oh ya im making this thing that make your pic work like work in the background or like to call it shuffle it but its on the homescreen like the windowsmobile7 model thats coming out

if you want to find things that work on 6.5 and put them here for new members (noobs) so they don't have to look, then that's fine. but don't claim that you made them. all you can claim is that your using them on your phone and using some of their components for your upcoming windows phone 7 theme. give more information so that people know what version of windows mobile they need, what they're installing (the more info you write, the less questions people have and less upset people will get). keep in mind that a lot of people are still using windows mobile 6.1, the titanium cabs won't work on wm6.1, so if people install them they'll have to hard reset after words to get their phones back to the way it was, i know this from first hand experience and give some credit to the people that did make the .cabs your putting here.

ok i would next time
sh
some these works for standard phones and professional phones to the plugins
wierd but cool
the weird things is that mostly all those plug ins are for windowsmobile professional devices but my phone can run all types of touch screen apps or themes to it. Thats weird.that could be another reason the files are not working properly for other phones including not have the 6.5rom on it.The thing i manage to get on my device that i think was a windowstouch theme was that titanium wm7 theme that i found for touchscreen devices .for right now im really trying to get raxbot creation or lessco creation of the windowsmobile7 series app to work on my phone .the good thing it lets me in the app but the functions of the arrows dont work properly.But i had found this app that gives your phone a mouse cursor pointer just like your computer haves to navigate around the screen and this was another touchscreen app that manage to work on my phone i only have 1 problem with it that im try to figure out im using it for Jaxbot wm7 app and maybe going to use it on lessco to.that is all for now
oh and ya im going to fix it the other theme so it will work properly and just work for other devices and ya xboxlive would be coming and some other neat features would be coming that windowsmobile7series going to have to. I would be having people work on this with me to make it happen and to see would it be possible to work on standard devices if you want to get on this project just replied to this or just message me and the people that will help would get credit for making this. and name will be on my youtube account for hundreds of people to see who creates apps and themes for windowsmobile and people who just like it
Thanks, worked great on my Moto Q9h
cool
it works on your phone now

what are you doing to make it work because dont know why its not working for others. wait are you usin the individual files or u using the one that have everything built in one file
