[Think Tank] Lets PORT the Eclair Browser to the G1 - G1 Android Development

Hello all I would like some assistance on how to PORT over the Browser from Eclair. I have successfull installed the Flash application from the Droid-eris on my G1. Any thoughts. This may be the way to getting flash on our devices.

Is this meant to be sarcastic?

loccy made a post stating his plans to backport the browser already, into his "betterbrowser"
i dont think we necessarily need this thinktank

Its compiled for SDK 5 so atm no way except backporting.

The droid eris is android 1.5, not eclair. Lots of people have wanted to and tried to bring flash over, but so far no good.

If you go to android-platform group, you will see that JBQ try to port all to ADP1 and lot ot things work.
We must wait and it will be come
See this link http://groups.google.com/group/android-platform/browse_thread/thread/53c6f66d5dc155bd

As I understand it, *right now*, you can simply compile the android master branch for HTC DREAM, and it will work fine except for no camera.

To be honest, I took a quick look last week, and most of the new UI prettiness stuff is webkit and/or framework based, so coming up with an APK that'll run on Donut will be a nightmare. Other things (e.g. double tap zooming) I'm doing in my browser already. I might have another play this weekend, but to be honest I think I'll wait until 2.0 ROMs start to appear before I really get my teeth into the 2.0 browser code.
You do know Eclair doesn't have Flash (yet)?

IM will probably make a reappearance in 5.0 and the multitouch is a 3rd party hack packaged with JF builds by JF himself so it may or may not make it into the build. Honestly, it was so choppy I never found it useful. Both of these questions have been posted in the Port thread. Please read it in it's entirety.
I PM'd jesusfreke about the multi-touch a few days ago, hopefully he'll lend us a hand in making that work, but I doubt he'll bother before the build is complete. Which leads me to your next question. IM will be fixed eventually, it just isn't a priority. For now get palringo from the market.
Edit: Beat me to the punch
i meant by using the multitouch browser apk and pushing it over...my question is will it work?

The JF multitouch browser apk. wont run, just force closes on startup (I know I tried it). It's due to the fact that JF browser is compiled for a previous build, and therefore is incompatible with the "Cupcake" build. Someone correct me if Im wrong......

Even though IM does not work, Google Talk part of it does.
Just make a shortcut of it on the home screen and click.
I just tested this.
You can configure it to automatically sign in.

Build posted last night (090406 @ 10:00pm est) has a defective camera.apk (according to the boot manager). Another q... when installed this update, the JF 1.42 bootloader recovery screen still loads. Is this normal, or do I need to re-root back to RC29 and image test_keys?

Dark Keys for 1.5 Firmware

Does anyone know how to get dark keys application working on the 1.5 firmware (cupcake)
Is it something the app developer needs to do and if so does anyone know where i can reach him to ask
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513772 go here for app <<
it has to be done on the developers side and if you download the program through market the go to its details and scroll down to email developer.
already sent an E-mail to the Dev asking for the source code. He said he was going to get it uploaded.
cheers
Thanks guys
any luck on getting it to works on 1.5 yet?
Someone needs to make a new version of this app. one that doesnt keep flicking on and off like dark keys does. would be nice if it just remembered whether it was on or off and stayed that way until changed.
whats the darks key?black key?
Would it be possible to have a uer option to have the backlight on or off based on the time of the day?
Hm, they disabled a lot of programs abilities to change settings like wifi/gps etc, dont know if this was one of those settings (REALLY hope not since you cant change it in android settings either).
Really need this app working for 1.5 :/

That's a really good idea but we need to get it working with 1.5 first
Anyone seen any updates on this anywhere? His webpage seems quiet as well. Thinking about looking into this myself, but it'd be a lot easier with his code.
Nobody saw the source? It is explicitely posted on google code..
Here is the link:
http://code.google.com/p/darkkeys/
Did not actually see that, but I dont think it's possible with 1.5 firmware, I looked into it a bit myself, trying to construct hardwareservice jar file for 1.5.
//edit, that is, not possible with the normal hardwareservice way, it'll still work fine on rooted phones.
Rename to darkkeys.apk and install normally. Works only on rooted phones for 1.5 unfortunatly, and it's only debug signed.
Upstream bug tracker here : http://code.google.com/p/darkkeys/issues/list?updated=2&ts=1241446083
This is a disaster for white G1s!
Do I really have to root my phone just to be able to see the keyboard? What are Google playing at?

haha thank you so much i have been waiting for this for a LONG TIME!
Seems they changed detection on whether or not the keypad's open a bit as well, I'll see about making it more reliable sometime today.
Attaching new one, same procedure, rename to .apk and install directly.
What's the point in this?

Android 2.0 Capabilities

There's a new video on the Android Developers Blog; that is essentially a walkthrough of some of the new Eclair features. Just an interesting tidbit for your consideration about the future of what's going to be on our devices
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/10/announcing-android-20-support-in-sdk.html
Thanks for this !
it also looks like Android 2.0 SDK is now available?!
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Doesnt this mean it can be compiled into a functional rom now?

nevermind i should probably get online to do more than check twitter facebook and xda
the new avd manager and layoutopt look sweet
layoutopt will help alot if i could get hero booting on it hahaha.. il lsee if this is intented to run from emulator or if i can run it while my device is running (will allow cleaning up of file heirarchies ...= less symlinks/useless files the system goes through to find the original file = faster interface less cpu load)
when i get home ill see if i can get it going on a device........

enjoy your brick
hahah jk jk i dont think itd be a good idea because of boot.img compatibility
from what im reading in this sdk stuff it has settings on your avd for multiple res differences... someone grab what our screens can handle post it and you can prolly pull the corresponding boot.img from your sdk
if anything id suggest getting into your adb via emulator and see if you cant just adb pull the system data and framework folders
or you can unyaffs the sdk's "stock" system.img and add/replace apk's for functionality "the google experience" can be added as well
i dont really recall where the SDK sticks its "stock" system.img and boot.img though

as far as sholes idk why the apps werent working i was waiting for the sdk release to play with the dump from sholes
you can prolly make an avd matching sholes specs n boot the dumped system.img from it via emulator if you REALLY wanna play with it
no promises tho there could b closed source stuff in the sholes dump that will prevent emulator from running it
i have SO much stuff to do today by the time i get to my computer someone will have prolyl posted a update.zip
if no one has ill swing by my folks house to use their t1 landline dl the sdk and try to get a update.zip for you guys

Same here, besides my tethering speed range is 2 - 7m/bits.
I hear its unhealthy for the phone tho.
Anywho... good luck on the work if you get to it. I wish I had the ability to do that kinda stuff.
Love the ability to sync multiple google accounts.
I hope there will be the chance to selectively enable the sync on an account basis, ie : account 1 mail sync on, account 2 mail sync off but contacts on, etc.

It took a little time to get everything set up. It would have been up sooner, but I was out of town for work this week and stuck at a hotel with the slowest download/upload speeds in America (seriously downloading ROMs in number of bytes per second).
Glad to be back home and able to get everything else set up and posted. I hope people enjoy.
Tried it with the cyanogen build and i can get to the end but no update is produced to dl... heavy traffic or maybe theres something else going on

It worked just fine for me (I just double checked, using the CM6 ROM for base to be sure). It does take a little while after you click the 'Serve Me!' button for it to come up. Then it takes you to another page, and says 'Preparing your rom..' for a bit, then the download link will pop up.
When the link comes up, it will still say 'Preparing,' even though it is done. The link comes up on the left side the add box below, so it is easy to miss. It will say 'Your rom is ready for download' and provide a link.
cool idea OP...just wondering about the Cyanogen build. Is it based on the nightly?

Did you upload your own app? If so you HAVE to upload your own app in zip file.
WOW cool idea worked fine flashed fine using damage base. I love it. One thing does it deox?
How about all the basics like zipalign etc? Are those all default to whatever you use as a base?
Some of the base roms you have listed have different versions. As an example is OMJ...he has 3 versions (w/kernel, w/o kernel and deodexed). How can we tell which one is part of the program?
If I can make a suggestion, in so many people here like to theme, if a choice is to be made you use the deodexed versions.

Whenever possible, I have included deodexed versions. I didn't know OMJ had multiple versions, so I will check what is there and update the OP to be more specific about versions for that and others (probably in the morning).

To my knowledge the kitchen does none of those things. I know dsixda's kitchen is a bit more in-depth, including those features, but this is a lot more basic. Assume all ROMs default to whatever the original developer has done (so, for example, Fresh Evo does zipalign on load, but the stock ROM does not).

The CM base that is provided is the release candidate. Check the link in the OP for the post. I cannot keep up with the CM nightlies, so the kitchen will likely only be updated with major releases (if there is a RC2, or when the final comes out). Sorry for the inconvenience.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=746276
So if the base rom that I select already was deox... zipaligned etc etc then I'm safe to assume thats how it gets recooked?
It would be cool if you can take some apps from another ROM and place it into your base ROM..
Very cool implementation of the kitchen. Nice work! One of my favorite features is making stock apps uninstallable by moving them to /data/app. Save you the headache of using adb or something like root explorer to manually delete an apk for something you don't want.
Is there any way that explanations of the files could be posted that are shown. The applications may or may not also make sense as they sometimes use internal HTC names. Yes, I know, asking a lot, but it might help those of us who don't know what all the files listed in the first section are for.
Is there any way to change boot animation? I saw on the Nexus One kitchen it was possible...
Skype Beta?
i saw in the kitchen one of your selectable apps is skype for video calls is there a apk for that anywhere
Little OT but where can i just get the Skype apk you have in your kitchen?
Thanks
everything looks great!
only idea and question which comes to mind as im stepping through the menus and options - version numbers for the applications to be added in?
example, wifi tether - what version number is this?
Would it make sense to have an option to include Netarchy's kernel for the ROMs that didn't already have it?

Google chrome apk for 2.3

dont know if anyone has found this in another thread or on the web, but heres a link to a version of google chrome you can download without running ics 4.0 on our atrix 2 phone. i downloaded it and been messing around with it. it looks nice but doesnt have extension as you would finfld in a full version. check it out.

Nice find! I have a tablet on ICS and i was able to play with it already. It had some bugs but i am sure when it is out of beta it will be amazing. I already love the chrome desktop browser and having them both integrated with bookmarks and etc will be awesome.

yeah, i also use it on my laptop wish i could set up the synce and such on here but its not there yet. but im a chrome user and being able to run it on something thats not on 4.0 yet is pretty nice even if its not fully built at this point. ive yet to run into any bugs as of yet, gonna keep ky eye out for a more fully functional build that can be ran on 2.3 phone and post it here if i do. i appreciate your thanks for posting this as well. (and anyone else thats may like this as well, sorry i cant thank every post)
This was a great find, I think I'm going to try this out. Chrome is a great web browser. Even better to have the Android version before ICE comes to the ATRIX 2.
This is not Chrome - this is Miren browser, just patched up to look like Chrome... Even when you first load it up, it says "Welcome to Miren browser" in a foreign language!

It's our stock browser except of the icon - the one is old Chromium (hate new 2d versions).
