Question about latest JF build - G1 Android Development

Hi, while I have several questions I tend not to bug you guys when they've been asked before. I've searched the past 4 pages for threads over jesusfreke build to no avail.
I rooted my g1 recently with the jf 1.51 build. My question is why won't it autorotate in SMS/browser, etc. Anything really.. It worked fine before I went root. It will however rotate once I pop the keyboard out but it used to(stock firmware) autorotate in anything.
TIA.

you need to go into your settings and turn autorotate on, same with the browser!

Deathwish238 is right you should seriously consider a newer build; Jesusfreke retired from rom development so you're gonna be stuck with an outdated build. Go here and check out some of the latest builds.

thanks guys

Start asking your questions in the right sub-forum (Q&A) (Theme) or even in (General), or simply search.......Final result will be a ban for you up too 3 days.

Installed cyanogen 4.1.9999 how do i go back to original android donut on my g1

i installed cyanogen but I want original android back. can some one give me a detailed step by step on how to do it? Please help
thank you and I'm sorry, I just broke down and posted. is there any way to delete the thread?
try the "unroot. get back to original firmware" thread..
I know i have been guilty of posting questions without searching sometimes but a question like this is not only in stickies but also common sense, just flash the official donut build the same way you flashed cyanogen minus the whole double flash crap you gota do now with cyanogen builds because of google but thats besides the point. You may have to do a wipe too but i'm not sure.
another n00b thats being stupid and posting Q&A in the dev forum

You asked for these replies by putting your first post in the developers forum. Nice job noob.
WAIT WHAT?? you want original donut? cyanogen is original, but amili times better then stock. i dont know why new flashers want to go back to stock. is it because they dont have my fave?
If you really want to go back to stock I hear winmo has a phone for u....lol

Vodafone Donut - Is there a method to root the latest Oct 2009 1.6 release?

I've been using various Cyanogen and Hero ROMs since June and have now reverted back to the stock Vodafone UK ROM. In general the stock stuff is fine, it's quick and bluetooth audio works for phone and media. I need root access though to use Bluex for bluetooth file send/receive and pushing the HTC_IME keyboard
What I'd like to know is does anyone know how to root the new Donut release?
I've tried the Haykuro's rootmesigned but get a FC and constant reboot...it was worth a try
there is already a full solution for you.

I used it on mine and works perfectly, no flaws. Install that and you are done.
yeah there is a way. but im not going to answer because this is in the wrong section. read the stickies up top, search around, then post in the right section and maybe you will get more answers.

Aw gee thanks...NOT
If you don't have anything contructive to add then don't.
I spent hours searching and read through countless threads. For your info I have been installing ROMS since they came out in May (before the Wiki was in place), have contributed and would you believe it I have even been thanked for my help, I am comfortable with using ADB, Fastboot etc, am familiar with linux and have read the stickies.
Is asking about a rooted ROM not developement? Have YOU read the stickies because from what I have read, surprise surprise, in this section there is a sticky up above here about hacking and rooting. As far as I'm aware any developement focused questions would be posted in the developement section not general.
If I'm wrong them I'm quite happy to follow the MODS rules and their directions.
Are you going to repeat your post with questions about OTA updates being in the wrong section too?
P.S. the very helpful 'htcmagic' had already spoiled it for you
@BigRD: no problem mate, glad i could help. I installed the rom above and i am extremely happy with it. I have also installed busybox on it too.
Its much faster that vodafones original.
Hey mate, try Amon_Ra's Donut Rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538645
Very fast and stable with Root and others. I'm using it on my vodafone magic. Works really nice.
Or alternatively just go back to Cyanogen. Its Donut and it has more features than any other rom on this site so...its all up to you
@widezu69 & @htcmagic Cool, thanks guys.
I spent a lot of time with Cyanogen's ROMs up until the Google thing happened and was running eViL's Hero ROMs up to v3.0. I wanted to get back to a smoothish stock ROM issued by my network supplier but rooted by one of the great developers on XDA. I keep finding that other than the Vodafone original and the Google ION ROM bluetooth audio for phone and multi media working at the same time is very hit or miss. Am going to give both versions posted here a try over the next few days
Another one who wants a Rooted Vodafone Donut
I am also searching for a method to root a stock Vodafone Magic 32B that has had an OTA Donut update.
The answers on the thread so far involve flashing a new Donut Rom - my issue is that I have Donut already, and have never rooted - I am assuming the Root instructions included in the Wiki and Relentless Rooter are only aimed at Cupcake.....or am I wrong?
Any help/advice appreciated....
rooting the magic 1.6
Hi folks, dito as above. I've been up half the night trying to work this out. Have recently bought an htc magic from vodafone, and been 'updated' to doughnut 1.6. Not bad, but I'm really keen to get root on this, and eventually install the latest rom from cyanogen...
Seems there are now a few issues for people like me wanting to root their handsets... so far I've managed to erase my user settings, but keep getting errors trying to flash a rom. Followed the link above to nk02's thread, and no luck. Same issue, update aborts. There must be an easier way...
nk02 says his ROM works with 'wipe + flash'. How the heck do I do that? Seems this latest update to 1.6 has made all the other methods of gaining root obsolete... I'm far from a linux novice, and would love some advice here. And please don't tell me to keep searching, solid help would be appreciated. Cheers.

[Plz delete] Andromeda Power Menu Missing?

Hi All. Been lurking daily since September 2010 and have been able to have all my hundreds of questions answered by searching. Until now.
I originally flashed Andromeda 2.0 about a month ago and then applied updates to get it to 2.2. Experimented with Speedmod kernel and KP1 modem. The phone was fantastic for about 3 weeks.
I then decided to do a clean install (flash to stock, full wipe) of Andromeda 1.2 so that I could try out some of the themes available. From Andromeda 1.2, I flashed SpeedMod 13C, KP1, restored missing apps+data and then applied the Bloo Glowen theme.
Worked great for about a day but then I lost access to the power menu. I suspected the Bloo theme so I applied the revert. Still no power menu.
Strange because a long press on the power button triggers the haptic feedback but nothing on the GUI happens.
I figure I'm looking at a full reflash anyway but wanted to see if anyone might know a step I missed during my last attempt.
Thanks in advance.
-MK
There's a dedicated Andromeda sticky in the Q&A subforum. Probably better to look/ask there.
Take a picture in the camera with the power button.
Mine did the same thing, had to reflash 1.2 full to fix it...
Sent from my Cappy running Andromeda 1.2!!
