I'm lost. Help with getting back to grips with the G1. - G1 Android Development

A while back I rooted my G1 and currently I'm running
Firmware: 1.6
Kernel: 2.6.29.6-cm42
Mod Version: CyanogenMod-4.1.9999
Build number: DRC83
O.K. I know I might be abit behind with the times but can anyone in the community give me some advice on what I need to update to, say, something like Éclair.
The reason is 1.6 is getting sluggish so I might as well update it to something that is new and fast(ish).
I'll be watching this thread and if you need any questions answered I'll try to get them sorted as quickly as I can.
Thanks
Oh and on a side note I'll be given the choice of the Desire, Droid and X10 for my upgrade in a few weeks, which would you guys suggest?

CM 5.0.7
Droid

Desire or the X10

SuperE
and Desire

I'd say 5.0.7 not the original maybe one of the mods.. SpeedTeam or Magic Elixir..
Make sure to update to 1.7 recovery..
and.... if I'd have to give you an honest answer... neither? but if I had to have a choice I'd get a Desire

I'm curious, why would you suggest not going original CM5? I'm using it and i think its pretty much perfect...

Why not try some ROMs out yourself and see?
Personally I think the 32B hardware (G1/Magic) is not powerful enough to deliver a nice experience with Eclair, even with Cyanogen's excellent CM5 release which is a better 2.1 than I imagine even HTC could come out with.
I stick to Dwang which is pretty much Donut AOSP with a fast kernel and framework. Some people disagree and are loving Eclair. Some people like SuperD and CM4 which are about as advanced as Donut can get.
The X10 has got really poor reviews, and doesn't even come with Android 2.0 or 2.1. The Droid is nice and all but the 1GHz in the Desire is difficult to pass up. Out of your options, I'd get a Desire, though a Nexus One would be even better.

Droid is OC'able to some high values... id take it, but im always gonna stick with a device with a keyboard as my main MOD/DEV device..... hate them soft keys.... maybe in the future i'll grab a solid touch device along side my HK phone

Droid2
nexus enterprise(if it even comes out)
htc vision
n1
desire
legend
hd2
tmo mytouch 3g slide
cliq xt
backflip
dream
rogers dream
mt3g
These are the order that google said will get 2.3(gingerbread) in order of org price at the time of purchase, if you have any concerns please contact the AOSP team @ [email protected] or chat with a rep on gtalk(contact steve jobs w/ [email protected]

Lol WTF? The HD2, Dream, Rogers Dream, and MT3G, cliq xt, backflip getting gingerbread? Lol thanks for spamming up this thread. Really thats just about the stupidest thing I have read.
OT: Get CM5, then when the time comes get a desire. You can easily root the desire to run nexus firmware so you can get rid of that yucky sense crap (IMO).

personally if you wanna try eclair, get with STEclair, and when it comes time, go with the desire... like he said, its hard to pass up a snapdragon processor

For now, do a FULL wipe, flash the latest cyanogen 5.0.7 then flash the google apps (gapps), reboot and enjoy!
For your side note, I would go with either the Droid Incredible (HTC Sense 2.1) or Nexus One (Standard 2.2 OS w/Adobe Flash)

They said HTC Sense will be free for every G2 user. and the update will be released before 30 October.
And another news is for other counties' G2 user, HTC Sense will be released at November 2009, different countries have different time.
original words from HTC Website:
"HTC Magic users can soon experience HTC Sense on their Magic when a free upgrade is made available in November 2009. With the upgrade to HTC Sense, users will enjoy a more holistic mobile experience made available by HTC. Be sure to sign up as a HTC e-Club member to stay informed of the availability of the upgrade and be the one of the first to experience the new Sense."
In a word, HTC Sense is coming!!!
Sweet Action!
we already know that for other countries it is coming out in november. but for taiwan they get it early? before october 30? that is better news.
So within the next 9 days interesting.
Thank god... was about time....
pls post a link here
So I'm guessing 32A users will be the first to get the HTC Sense?
Greate news... so, I think I will whait until official release then =D...

There are no plans for an official 32B Sense version, if thats what you mean.
it will be a complete rom with sense ui? or just the ui?
i'm asking because i have a hero rom for the moment and i don't know if i can find an original one (vodafone romania)
is that a donut kernel or cupcake?

ill get a 32b version going if youd like .. itll take some VERY light mods
prolly just a kernel and some apk optimizing
Thats awesome. Makes me glad to me a 32A user.

It wouldn't be big surprise for me if HTC release Cupcake version. On the other side, as far as I know, HTC Tattoo has already Sense on Donut, so it's nothing new for them. Personally, I'm waiting for Android 1.6 Donut with HTC Sense for HTC Magic 32A, doesn't meter whose release (original or moded). So new, original rom based on Cupcake with Sense UI is nothing special for me (I have already MyHero and I'm happy with it).
i think its 1.5 guys
it's a very very good news..32B will have releases of this rom, and assurely with wifi,bluetooth, and others many things working great
32B, don't be sad !!
Yeah, 32B users will also get a fully functional Rom just might run a bit slower.

HTC Bravo

I couldn't find a topic on this, searching HTC Bravo, "HTC Bravo" and just Bravo came with nothing.
Is anyone else looking forward to the bravo? It's basically a Nexus one with hard keys, 720p recording and Sense UI.
Personally, I prefer Sense UI to stock android, even though the hero is still on 1.5 I don't see how in any way Stock Android 2.0/1 offers any better or nicer features than Sense UI.
The Bravo should be announced next week and come out in March. I can't wait for it to be honest and will be upgrading from my G1 ASAP.
The Bravo will be released in Barcelona Monday or Tuesday.
It will get a new name, can't tell what tho.

100%, Just keep following my Twitter
I heard it was going to T-Mobile UK but what about T-Mobile USA.
I like the Nexus One but that stupid plan you need with it to get it at $180 on T-Mobile is what I hate.
Hopefully the Bravo will be around the same price and maybe even cheaper
I also take the Sense UI over stock android. I mean look at the Hero's ancient Android 1.5 Sense UI.
*7 screens
*Very pretty and helpful widgets with cool animations
*Multi touch in browser, gallery, and mail before Google pushed it to the Nexus One (excluding the mail)
*FLASH in browser.
*LOADS of eye candy. I mean everything I go into has eye candy. Even the darn menus.
If HTC SENSE can run smooth on my old MT3G with only 192 mb of RAM and a 528 mhz processor just think how an Android 2.2 HTC SENSE will run on a 512 mb RAM and a 1 ghz processor.
Plus the Bravo will come with all the goodies of Android 2.1
*Newer Market
*Google Maps with Multi touch and navigation
* The other goodies that I can't remember.
HTC will probably make their own version of the 3D gallery and maybe even make their own version of live wallpapers.
Plus all those Nexus One users will want a port of Bravo.
Which is harder to port: Stock Android or a Custom UI Android?
Custom UI is harder to port than Stock Android.
Am hoping this will come out on o2-uk ASAP. As for the leaked brochure saying "april" things can change since then and all sources seem to point at March.
It sure does look like the Nexus, but with a few other features.

Am I looking forward to it, you bet I am. When I saw the specs for the HTC HD2 last year, I was salvating for the whole of the UK. But then you had the well documented camera glitch et al, and the shear size of the handset in my hands just put me off. Alas, then came news of the "Bravo", and it looks like the 3 year wait for well specked smartphone is almost at an end - I can't believe I've turned my nose up at the many offerings that have been cast my way - diamond 1&2, Samsung Omnia 1 & 2...the list goes on.

THIS IS THE BRAVO
THIS IS THE LEGEND.
All I got to say....F**k the Nexus One. With the Bravo (same specs but looks SOOOOO much sexier and has HTC sense) It will officially go to a carrier without getting a lame ass plan or you can buy it unlocked. Same with the Legend (A powerful phone but it is a budget phone. Great for it's price but It is not going to be weak like the hero or the g1/mt3g. More RAM and a better processor.) It will officially go to a carrier without getting a lame ass plan or you can buy it unlocked.
I heard it was going to T-Mobile UK and at least one (if not both) of the phones is going to T-Mobile USA.

Free upgrade. What phone stay or swich?

I got a free upgrade because of my trwckball issues with the eris, i went through 3 exchanges and now i can get a free upgrade. What new android phone should i get or should i stay eris, the droid looks cool and so does the devour

i'd go with the incredible, its like the eris and droid on steroids

Vote for the Incredible here as well

Do they still actually do this? I was under the impression that VZW changed their policy on that, and dropped the three strike rule?
You should ask them if you can get another Eris and save your upgrade for later.
Incredible looks awsome but so do
All the other android based phones. Help me xda
-------------------------------------
Sent via the XDA Tapatalk App
i would second the vote on incredible. the droid is old, the incredible is newer and would be an actual upgrade worth getting.
The question you have to ask yourself is do you want to root. You can root the Eris now, but you might not ever be able to root the Incredible.
-------------------------------------
Sent via the XDA Tapatalk App
Thats a good question. I think it will be rootable just like all the other android based phones

Sent via the XDA Tapatalk App
The Devour sucks in my opinion. Unless you're into that whole social networking thing A LOT. My vote goes to the incredible. Or you could get another Eris and wait until the next best Android phone comes out (which probably won't be long) with Froyo and maybe a better processor or something. That's what I'm doing. But if you must, then the Incredible.
The Incredible. No Doubt. The Speed of it is Insane. It has the 1 Ghz Snapdragon Processor. DO a search on reviews of it. You will find nothing but great things. I am so Disappointed I didn't wait 3 Mos and get the Incredible instead of the Eris. I do like the Eris. But the Incredible, I Love. It is like choosing between a Porsche and a Ferrari. Sure a Porsche is great but a Ferrari is a FERRARI.
Haha yeah idk if i should wait 1ghz is pretty sweet
-------------------------------------
Sent via the XDA Tapatalk App
I would rather have a locked down incredible then a rooted eris.
besides it only took what, 3-4 months before the eris was rooted? cant be that long for the incredible.
i gotta say my vote goes to the incredible as well.. dont get me wrong i still love my eris and root on it is awesome..i have had all 3 of them incredible(current) droid(sold lol) and eris (current backup phone, testing device) u wont be dissappointed.. try one out for 30 days..u can always return it..vzw store hates me when i go in hahaha good luck with ur decision!______________________
Current:
Phone: HTC Incredible & HTC Droid Eris Rooted
Rom: Stock sense on Incredible(F'N Fast) , Sensable 3.1 on Eris
Root: Patiently waiting on Incredible and ROOT on ERIS

The rumored Motorola Shadow. Has a better gpu than the Incredible(so I read), which means better video support, and I think even better flash 10.1 support, on a 4.1in screen. The cpu is the like a faster/newer version of what you see on the current Droid, and GPU is suppose to be now 80% or so faster than the Droid from video I saw of the processors running on Android 2.1 on a reference device. The screen is suppose to be LCD so its not as vibrant as the Incredible, but it is better to use in direct sunlight.

That's what I'm getting for my NE2, provided it is superior to the Incredible. If it's not, I'll be switching to Sprint for the EVO and the better reception where I live.
I'll still be trying to squeeze a free replacement out of Verizon, which reminds me I better call them before they close

wellllllll... maybe.
Motorola also owns the trademark for "Droid Ultra" (along other things) and moto has 2 model numbers in verizon's systems. one just letters/numbers and another for "DRU-###" ( where "#" means numbers, I didnt get a chance to write them down when I saw it).
I belive this manual is for the droid ultra, or droid 2 or whatever you want to call it, but not the shadow.
all concept images of the shadow so far have been white, with a loop on the bottom (presumably for a wrist strap, most likely an external antennae), where as concepts for the ultra have looked like the phone in this manual.
granted, I'd take even my own words with a grain of salt. even reliable tipsters have been wrong before, but to me, this isnt a shadow, it's the ultra. unless, as rumors have it, the shadow is the new "nexus 2" where the ultra will take on the N2's old moniker.

I actually see no point in putting it on my O3D. We'll get 2.3 soon enough and any mods etc can probably be added like the perfomance patch.
The only reason I put cyanogen on my old phone was because it only went upto 2.1.
I'm sure cyanogen will have a few things that people will want though

yes but it can make the phone unstable... I've got it on an old phone and randomly restarts, which is a known issue. you can delete the stuff yourself. it doesn't exactly improve the battery an epic amount now does it....
while it's a great rom, I don't see enough reasons to put it on my O3D.
Kinda excited for this now !!
much love for cyanogen <3
Vanilla Android and future proof. Check! I can get my Ice Cream Sandwich fix! (assuming Cyanogen will continue into Ice Cream Sandwich, which it surely will)

Bet I had 7 Andriod phones so far ranging from Milestone, Galaxy S, Desire, Desire HD, Optimus X2, GS2 and now this and I can't say I have ever used one of his roms.
as far as i can tell from the experiments i've done with removing stuff from the system to see what works and what doesnt all the 3d stuff integrated into the stock rom comes from distinct apps that can be added and removed at will. beyond that it's just a case of integrating drivers for the screen that will be the part that needs work so i have no doubt that cyanogen will work like it does on every other phone on this one but with the added fun of having 3d capability.
Cyanogen
great and best info. The LX2 was so slow with stock rom and cyanogen made it work great
I hope so for the 3d too

Well as fast as you seem to be switching phones I can't really se how you even could have? the O2X is fairly new (what 5-6 months?) and CM7 is still under development for that one, the GS2 is what at a maximum 3 months old if you got it on the release day? Samsung btw sent a GS2 to Cyanogen in the hopes that he would get CM on it, CM isn't really a homebrew cut and paste ROM it's more like a off-shoot branch of Android and it takes time for them to make them work with new hardware.
And it's not "one of his ROMs" CM like MUMI and Android Stock is one ROM that works on different phones, there is a major difference
Edit:
Many home made cut and paste ROMs are how ever based on CM or Stock or a mix of both and just added and removed apps as they want it, so if you've used a custom ROM for a phone that CM supports it's more than likely that you have used CM only under a different name.
updates
Yes the news what were all hear for really, custom roms. Its shocking how slow LG is with the firmware side of thing., Their flagship phone firmware is like a year old Promises of updates is no good having them is.
wouldnt mind having sense based on evo 3g rom. got inpatient waiting on the evo 3d, next best thing is cfw based on it
Now i hear vodafone is dropping the evo 3d so i made a good call. Delays then patent infringements from apple leads to the customer missing out
It's quite simple i want 2.3.4 for Talk with video and features which can only be used on a Rooted Gingerbread rom. Although i won't use Gingerbread that long because there will be an other ROM which is calles Ice Cream as soon as Cyanogen can put his fingers on it ;-)
Really Love it So waiting for now
+ if cyanogen makes the rom, there will be many more roms following which are based on it, including miui rom. And some other developers will find the suitable ground to make cyanogen based additions to the phone.
Having cyanogen available is always beneficial

Ive had numerous android phones over the past few years and have developed for them also and can say that, personally cyanogen roms always screw up down the line and dont bother with them anymore as theyre all the same. i can tell you why they fail too, because of the way they are developed, rather than rewriting all the updated components, he will add to the component. which makes it perform half as well as a component written from scratch to the spec it is.
so for that reason....IM OUT

Ive had numerous android phones over the past few years and have developed for them also and can say that, personally cyanogen roms always screw up down the line and dont bother with them anymore as theyre all the same. i can tell you why they fail too, because of the way they are developed, rather than rewriting all the updated components, he will add to the component. which makes it perform half as well as a component written from scratch to the spec it is.

If that's you're vission that is all for you. I love the stock approach of Cyanogen with or whitout new programming. Building from scratch asks a lot of time Cyanogen is one off many who try and he's doing quite well for me. So have fun with you're stock device I will wait for Cyanogen to drop LG's software

Honeycomb for HTC Flyer, HTC EVO 3D and HTC Sensation.

Can someone please tell me how to flash a ROM from the system.img file.
The files from my extracted zip are
android-info
boot.img
dzdata_4g.img
dzdata_16g.img
dzdata_32g.img
hboot_1.11.2005.nb0
radio.img
rcdata.img
recovery.img
splash1.nb0
system.img
The file is entitled PG41IMG_Flyer_HC_S_HTC_Generic_3.05.999.1_Radio_20.3504.30.089BU_3809.07.04.12_M_tset_210502 and my friend at HTC says it is generic honeycomb for FLyer, Sensation and EVO 3D but he wouldn't tell me how to install it!!! Been pestering him for it as I saw it on his Sensation a few weeks ago and it was fantastic.
I have put in a link for the file any devs can help themselves, just please tell me how to install it!!!

wow! this would be amazing!
Pretty sure this is just for the Flyer
I'm with EddyOS on this 1. The fact the dzdata is for 4, 16 and 32Gb hardware gives it away. how ever I'm sure if you dropped in a 1Gb version you could get this to work but as i don't have a spare sensation lying around I'm not willing to try it just yet.
This sounds very interesting.
I hope a few of the very experienced DEVS around here look into it and tweak it up a bit.
i would like to see how this look my self

Eddy is that on the Sensation? ^^
It all looks rather good ^_^ Pretty sure though its for the Flyer only atm as others have mentioned. I can't decide which cheap tablet to get for the parents as of yet... Shall wait though as Kal-El is out soon...
this would be absolutely amazing if it works straight off on the Sensation......
Those pix are for Flyer waiting to see confirmation regarding the sensation
I know they are, as it's the Flyer ROM - I posted the pics!. This will not work on the Sensation, I can pretty much guarantee it
HC is a tablet OS, Sense in this ROM is 'Sense for Tablets' - it's not going to work and, if it does, it'll be ****

True it wouldn't work straight off however it has a much better chance of being a good port than other honeycomb ROMs as the HTC Flyer is a HTC device and therefore the libs from the Sensation may be more compatible. Also and possibly more importantly the HTC Flyer uses a Qualcomm CPU vs the Tegra in other tablets which may aide compatibility further.
It would be nice to see what some experienced chefs could come up with for the Sensation from this Honeycomb ROM as it's possibly the most compatible Honeycomb ROM yet apart from the HTC Jetstream which due to it's dual core Qualcomm CPU and 8mp camera might be more compatible still? Although it would take an experienced chef to find out!
I've made into a ROM with the kitchen into a flashable zip buy I'm sure things would need to resized. Just flashed the framework and sys UI to my current ROM from here (just drawable hdpi folders)
I know its a tablet ROM but I'm sure this would be able to port to sensation. What would be needed?

Ok guys, porting Honeycomb, no matter if its HTC or whatever, is not easy. Most, if not all, of our current libs are probably unusable on HC. And, if I were doing the port, I'd choose the Jetstream/Puccini ROM because THAT tablet has the same chipset as the Sensation. In my experience porting roms to HD2, its much easier when the chipset is the same one. And the Flyer is single core, plus its another resolution, so porting it will be totally hard and imo, useless, because it will be full of bugs, that won't probably ever be solved because there is no Source code for HC. So, just wait patiently for Ice Cream Sandwich. hope you understood what I meant

Does honeycomb even have the capabilities to make a call? They sell them were I work, I'm not a fan but having the option to have it on a sensation would be nice, we also sell the HP for 80 quid. Getting honeycomb on that would be a great acheivment, as an 80 quid dual core tablet running honeycomb is right up there with the bargain of the century.
I've moved this and edited the title. This is not a ROM thread, is not Dev work, and does NOT work on the sensation, so please don't try anything with the files unless you know what you are doing.
Any chance of a flyer rom for the sensation? Would look good in my opinion
