dont expect some one to hold your hand read learn java and Linux and really just play with the os. try to set up singeing by that's a good place to start also but linux on your pc and learn some stuff about terminal. once you do that and have a understanding of what all that development entails you can contact some devs on twitter or pm once you get stuck.
i just want to add i am by no means a master just trying help you out.

judging by your previous posts.... you should learn to use android as a user itself before you start modding everything.... not to be a downer, but "masters" want their apprentices to have SOME knowledge of phone. You will learn a lot more if you explore android yourself over the next few weeks. once you think you have experience, contact some of the devs here and see if they are willing to help. ive found that most of them are really irritated by noobs asking questions that have simple answers.
they seem to forget they were noobs too
(im guilty of this myself)
as for finding a dev here....the only dev ive seen around here in the last few weeks is jubeh (at least i think hes the only one lol)
most of the other devs stay in the dev section

If you had actually read the thread, you would have noticed how to workaround that issue, so stop lieing and start reading
Just use slide to view to add the picture to your contacts.
For the others, just give the man a link to the message if you really need to point out that it's already mentioned.

I think you missed the point. There will always be new issues that pop up. Someone will post about the new problem and several people work on it until a solution is found. This is how things should work. From that point forward all people should need to do is search for the problem and read the answer...not post the same question over and over and over again regardless of how many times it was answered in the past. That was the point trying to be made.

root before jailbreak?

hey i got a g1 and um im going to try to follow a rot video which lets me know to put in a flashrec.apk and a recovery image...so back up then apply imgage??? but one question....do i need to jailbreak my phone before i do the root process????
oh yeh coming from a cupcake build....
Dude go to androidandme.com under hacks and reconsider rooting till you know more.
no such thing as jailbreaking an android device. Thats for Apple only thing, Android doesnt limit you from doing what the device was made to do, only need to root to gain extra functionality.
I agree though, you sounds ill-informed of the risks and consequences of rooting your phone. Do some research, consider how you would feel w/ your G1 being as useful as a 'brick', and make an informed decision.....
please sorry for asking but can you guys help
okay this is what ive done...i use the flash rec apk and then backup and applied the ra recovery img. now i can go to the recovery mode...can i apply any rom not knowing the spl?...also one last question.... if i need to unroot do i do this by appliying the dreamin.img by pressing the end and camera then apply and this should unroot it right????
Have you tried searching or reading the stickies that other members took the time to make so that beginners would find them easier? I bet if you went through these stickies in the first place this thread wouldn't exist.
um for your information no smart ass....this is a q&a right...so thats what im doing right?so if u cant help out by properly answering my question then leave...
Wow... good luck, and good luck getting help.
Final thought, tell tmo that your phone messed up when it downloaded some OTA update.

ok so tell me what jailbreaking is... im interested in hearing this. i was seriously just imagining to myself today morning what i would do if someone made a thread like this, but you caught me before i could think of an answer
youve seenthe complicated way of jailing breaking an iphone i presume. heres how complicated it is in android
open settings > applications > uncheck allow non-market apps > press yes
BAM YOUR GOOD TO GO!!!!! so tell me how rooting works out for ya

but really dude, learn to search and read some of the guides, all your questions have been answered 100 times over. you are not special and will not be getting any special help from anyone here on such a stupid question.
you should goto the tmobile store though and let them finish the rooting for you, they are professionals and will do a really good job, some of them are nice and won't charge you the $13.79 fee either.

$13.79. Those s.o.b.'s I had to pay them $54.99 for them to root mine.

Well you should study hard, stay in school, and go to college
As long as your major's school is classified something like Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, then chances are you'll be developing

aha sounds good
you can always pm me if you need step-by-step
i get a lot of pm's for those
You just need to think of something that needs doing and do it
you don't even need to know java or anything to be a 'developer'.
I'd class myself as a 'developer' (albeit, not a great one) and all i do is edit some .csv files every now and again with notepad
If you want to go deep into the real developing, such as ROM cooking etc., then it's gonna take a lot of hard work!
Java's not too bad once you get your head round it, give it a fortnight and you'll be able to do all the basic stuff.
Good luck
yes and develop me some automated escort/callgirl app so i don't have to waste my minutes calling the whores!

How do you change Sense UI elements?

Hi there
(sorry for my english, i am a belgian user)
I was just wondering how you successed to change the hero launchbar ( with phone and 2 arrows on each side)
I have seen theme like that:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And I really want to do the same things and provide my own pictures.
Is there a "how to?" somewhere?
I am fed up searchin google with stuff like " customize, hero, change ui, theme, etc...)
Thank you!

then you have to "port" them to the hero. just use the hero files. and no, these are for android. that's why they are in the android section. you need to do a little thinking yourself, it is all in the link.

If you know all the Sense system and all the ressources, 99% of the people on earth don't!

I won't disturb you again, sorry to wast your time.
I'm sure if you try and get stuck you could ask for help in the thread. Ratcom, creator of the guide, makes Hero themes

ok, so i am gonna do the thinking for you. extract all the apks that are relevant, search for *.png in the folders, then look at them, and when it looks like the bottombar or is called something_bottombar_something or similar it might be worth a try. if i can do it you can do it too, and i did it.

you could start learning rather than talking nonsense too much. none of the theme modders came to the earth by learning modding in mother's womb. they read tutorials, books, webs.
Ok, i have all the informations... Thanks to you all!

Wow, what a nice guy, OP
I always hit thanks when you posted something good or useful
Everyone here, regardless of their abilities are respected by developers and enthusiasts alike.
There's no need to hate or be ungrateful here because no-one will care about your childish attitude.
Shame
Such a shame you left really ,This phone has very few development sources ...and I assume followers too. There's only so much appreciation a small number of people can give. I have tried a few of your Mods , some with success some with none. So, thankyou for your work and hopefully you will come back in the near future and carry on working on this great little phone .
