need a point in the right direction... - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

...i've noticed that the "superlite" versions of hero are pretty much cupcake roms with hero apk's (kind of sort of...?).
so i was just wondering if there is any way that i can just get the camera apk and install it to cyanogen's 4.0.1 rom?
if so, can someone just point out what i'm supposed to do to get it on so i can just do it myself?
(i've looked around threads and google but i didn't find anything bout mix and matching cupcake and hero roms. the reason for the wanting the hero camera apk is solely because it has the "geo tag" for the photos taken.)

You can try installing it...I haven't tried it before. Make sure you make a nandroid backup first just in case it messes up. It *should* work because I believe cyanogen builds already have some htc frameworks in them Good luck

Rosie.apk with Cyanogen Rom?

Has it been done? I couldn't tell if this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532822 is compatible with the cyanogen roms or this only applies for hero roms that have been worked with thus far. Otherwise, would love to see this done if possible.
Thanks for the input.

Rosie is tied to HTC's framework, trust me your not the first to bring this up.I asked this q months ago, even installed the rosie.apk and nothing happened.
Nope
Rosie is HtC Framework diffrent than Aosp Google

Not gonna happen, it relies on Htc's closed-source frameworks- thus only Sense based roms can use it (and older ones at that)
p.s. Post in the correct section next time
RE:
Think it will ever be open sourced or highly doubtful?
I mean, I without a doubt love kingklick's 0.6's rom, but it has some bugs that needs tweaking out such as everyone's problem it seems... the camera and bluetooth.
p.s. - please push this thread to Dream Q&A (sorry, my mistake).

A mod will move it when they see it.
HTC wouldnt open source it unless they want it to be copied by other people which would be bad for business.The you would have hero widgets running on the liquid or droid and you get my point.

Well, we could always decide that having a system partition big enough for hero, sorry sense was worthwhile, then change the layout...

Alright, I've got this up and running,
I'm just working on the permissions so as the htc widgets work properly, and google apps work.
It runs pretty good though I have to say, for a sense build. Phone.apk lag remains however I'm pretty confident with a renice script it'll be fine.
jamezelle makes a SenseUI build:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619718
It's ported from the HTC Tattoo.
k I've got this build running great, with the exception of google apps aren't currently working. I've got a line on how to fix them.
So in it's current state which is boot from ext2 or sd card partition only do you guys want me to post it? Or wait till I've got google apps working correctly?
And for a sense build it runs fantastic, probably better than any other sense build you've tried I bet. Certainly better than any I've run.
And yes phone still lags, but run a renice and bet it will be find.
is it installable to sd card or do we have to run it haret
theres always an app to take the place of most google apps
I know this isn't where I belong but any love for kaiser users?
yes installable to sd card, it's an androidinstall.tar..
No sorry no kaiser love, just a beta port at this point.

maybe post it, I might try to work it out this weekend on my phone even if I have to install to sd
Alright, so from what information I've gathered gapps may not work from sd, I'm going to try and clean it down to see if I can get it to fit on nand.

Gapps not working from SD, is this a problem with eclair? I've run lots of builds from SD, some with ext2 partitions, some not. Mostly I've used Donut lately, but have had Eclair, too. Maps and Gmail have always worked. I never use Google talk. Am I missing something, or are these not gapps? Anyway, I'd like to try your build on ext2 partitions.
Nice!!!
I'll try!
i would definitely love to try the betaport also!

cyanogen mod

Im very new to rooting and rom switching so please go easy
I just tried the cyanogen mod 6 for my nexus 1 and i have a few questions about it.
First, i cant really see anything new accept a few things in the cyanogen menu under "settings". Second, i cant see a speed increase either. Stock is actually working faster!
After all the amazing stuff i keep hearing about cyanogen, i just wanna know, what is it about this one (cm6) that im missing??? I just wanna appreciate it like everyone else
I have no clue.. i went back to Geo411m's ROM..
Personally i want a ROM that is more closer to stock as possible, and i really have no need for certain tweaks really. I used the 5.0.8 N1 quite abit before i went over to Froyo. It was allright for me but later on i really like stock based ROM's.
i agree. its seems as though the stock roms work best with froyo (for now anyway) i have been using a rom called "frf_blackbar_v3_signed" and its working great.
Since im new to this stuff (coming from an iphone!) i just figured i was missing out on something right under my eyes! I know its a new rom and it will get better too.
Have faith and give CM some time
They've been working on it for two weeks and its only their first official froyo release(RC1). Im sure things will pick up and get more exciting soon.
I also tested the performance of stock vs cm, and they didn't differ by that much...
Cyanogen has tons of additional features. What I recommended you do is look at his changelog.
He has listed all the new goodies.
Personally I like the kernal which allows overclocking, the music app which has support for flac right out the box, and the renderer which switches the screen color to save you battery.
I will pay attention to Cyanogen ROM for sure..
yea il be keeping an eye on it as well. Can i ask...
What is a kernel?
What is a online kitchen?
why do we have to flash different radios? (do they mean TMO and AT&T radios?)

Exact same here. Went from CM6 to Geo411m's ROM yesterday. Its fast, I know what I have, and battery life is good. Tried LeoFroYo this morning but there was just too much there for what I need. A quick Nandroid restore to Geo411m and that's where I'm staying for now

kernel is the guts of your system
online kitchen is where users can create their own roms
new radios add new features that some roms depend on
i don't recommend you messing with any of these things until you do a lot of reading
from what i understand the only way to truly screw up is if i DONT do a nandroid backup. If i do a nandroid backup once when i just rooted and unlocked the bootloader do i still have to do them every time i wanna put on a new rom to fully ensure that i dont brick or badly screw up my phone?
not necesarily, i nandroid before i do any mods to my system just in case i trash it i can boot it right back up just like it was 5 mins prior
If you truly brick your phone, you won't be able to boot into recovery to restore. You do a nandroid once you have your rom setup the way you want, so when you restore you go back to that point. Cyanogen is one of the best, if not the best. The man went through it with Google, just to bless us with his gift, show some RESPECT!!!!! I just flashed his latest & greatest, and I love it. Although im not a fan of white status bar. I like nothing stock, but I flashed black status bar, and pushed black goggle search box, and rm the apps I didn't want, like twitter and gmail. It's a keeper, and will only get better.The more ability to customize the better. That's why I root in the first place. Options, options, options, I love it.

You don't brick your phone by flashing a new ROM that doesn't contain radio. You don't brick your phone with almost anything that you do, in the worst case - you're left with a phone that doesn't load OS and needs wipe+reflash, and you lose all your settings and data.
But:
You DO brick your phone by flashing the wrong radio / interrupting radio flash before it finishes.
As with the rest of your questions: I suggest you use this forum and Google and read a lot. That would answer your questions.
Also, I was a user of CyanogenMod on 2.1, kept it until LeoFroyo hit 1.2-beta, flashed, liked, and now I'm with Enomther, who has a fast, stable ROM with most of the features Cyanogen has, and it covers everything I want/need. I'll wait for CyanogenMod to integrate Apps2SDExt into framework, and then compare it again.

Rom cooking

so i am looking of getting into some rom and kernel cooking. haven't done it yet, but i am willing to give it a go. anybody have any tutorials on rom cooking? what do i need to set up to be able to create roms and save them etc.
any help will be appreciated. i am looking at starting to play with some HC for our beloved tablet.
I am going to stop dropping hints. Until we have all the drivers, a port will be useless. Ask all the devs over in the Vibrant Forums why theey still cann't get the GPS to work? Thye have had GB ported for a LONG time. But I'm not going to push this anymore. Now if Dell releases them, then we are in business, or if there is a possible way to extract the drivers from the stock img(s). Or if someone knows how to write the drivers for the hardware. And we will need a new kernel that is compatible with our device and hardware (that we do not have drivers for yet) because our stok kernel will only be compatible with froyo.
If you guys just wanna list reasons why I am wrong, don't waste your time typing them out. If i am wrong I will admit it if I am proven wrong. What I am hoping is that I am wrong, So prove me wrong PLEASE so we can get HC, if it is possible.
DJ_Steve who has worked with the streak 5 and has made other roms has said our kernel will work for gingerbread, it wouldnt work with HC without having to be recomplied but it should work with gingerbread. Also before you make the build you run a script called extract-files.sh (with your device connected via usb) and it will grab all the proprietary files and drivers that it needs from your working rom. and includes them in the build
i don't think i will get soo deep into cooking, but i will take my current rom and do a few mods to it, do a nandroid of it and post it here
i get home later tonight and i will try and work on something, but i won't promisse.

need to flash STOCK 2.1

I am looking for stock 2.1 to put back on a Hero so that it can be programmed for a new user. (it currently has Fresh, and the programming - ##3282# does not work!)
So where can I find a flashable (not the RUU) 2.1?
Thanks for any help you can provide - a link would be great!
Look for liquid sense or nifinity stock based roms it's like 3 or 4 of them or look for the engery rom by pmgrands all of these are all sense based roms you can find in the hero/dev forum. Good luck
Yea it's Me Again With the
Modified Hero
Thanks - the problem is that Fresh is Sense-based too, and the ##3282# programming does not work on it.
Do you know is this works with the above mentioned ROMs?
Thx again.
Why don't you just run the RUU, activate the phone, and then root it again? Don't take it the wrong way, it's just a suggestion. I know I had a heck of a time trying to root my phone for the first time, but now that I have done it, I don't think I would have any problems doing it over again.

Should work with no problem is what I wanna say but the only way to make sure is to flash them for yourself. They should work though as they are newer builds. Good luck

You don't even have to unroot to activate the phone. Just flash any Sense rom and call Sprint. Cake and pie.
-----
Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Gingerbread-on-Hero action here!
The problem is that the person with the phone is a newbie, and RUU is not working for some reason. Anyway I talked them through flashing the NFX-Sprint ROM so they got the damn thing programmed, and now they are back to Fresh.
(and to respond to laie1472, as I said above, the issue was that not every Sense ROM allows the programming, thus the question as to which work and whick do not...)
Thanks one and all.
