android mid help - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ive been playing around with roms for a while now but i still cant figure out how to get rid of a few things.
1. during activation needing a sim card plugged in (and how to skip the google sign in)
2. the dialer and contacts (i haven't removed them because i dont think alot of programs would work because of the dependencies)

no one?

well most roms these days have the "skip" button and if not that most hero roms have the Wifi option so you can use your own connection to log in your gmail but there is also a way to sign in if you dont have data with a wifi connection if you have one i can provide that for you
and as for your second question i dont understand but as far as i kno everything with contacts on every rom seems to work fine so you should be ok but if not i dont kno how to answer your question
any other questions just ask ill try and help

just to clarify If i remove the dialer, contacts and phone.apk and mms would android (the os itself) run fine? and would programs that need accesses to those things work?
(sorry for all the questions, this is my first from the ground up build i've previously added and removed a few things to a cryogen rom but thats its)

bump :O

Make a nandroid backup and just remove them and see for yourself

yo bman, what's good man, i love how this guy likes bumping

Message program does not appear need help

I'm starting to have issues with my messaging program a lot lately and thought I can see if anyone has some sort of insight for this.
My Tilt is unlocked and my service is T-mobile. This problem occurred a few days ago and now I can't seem to open the program to check my email or even my text message (since its integrated together). I do not even get any alerts for this which is another huge problem. Would anyone know what could cause this issue? If it would be any help when I select the message program I notice its busy working but it does not open the program. Please, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
I had the same problem Twice. Do you have any mods on your phone or are you running the stock rom? In any case the only remedy I found was a hard reset. Good luck to you maybe you can find another route.
First off I AM Mr. Jimmy... Not you.. lol.
Now, soft reset if you haven't. Then pull your battery for 30 seconds and reinsert. If that does not work go into your File Browser go into your Windows directory find tmail.exe open it and see if it will open. If not time to hard reset. If yes delete your email settings and readd them and see... try a new shortcut if it works through windows.
Well time to bring this back from the dead. Since I continue to have problems not to mention I can't even access my SMS at all now.
dantegl36 - no mods at all I am running the updated ROM version thats out.
JimmyMcGee - Yes you may be the Mr.Jimmy but I have the name to back it up LOL Any case I've done what you've mentioned and yet I still have the same problem. Even a hard reset I tend to run into this issue at least once a month which is pretty lame.
Would anyone recommend if I just back up all my stuff including rom, radio, etc and just have the phone work off a home brew version instead?
I'll make sure i'm on top of this thread more. Thanks

zoomboard-free-no trial limit/ i answered my own question

install the zoomboard v.2.00 then when you have at least 4 DAYS LEFT, uninstall/ update to v. 2.01. when you have four days left, and it has been more than 7 days/expired the previous zoomboard has been uninstalled, again, replace 2.01 with 2.00 then youll have 0 days of trial . im assuming(cuz i actually hard reset my pda cuz i felt like it) that this is unlimmited. pm me if this is true. if you cant find a v. 2.00, ill post it. just message me.
tell me if this actually worked or msg me. im actually doing it as we speak.
i think this goes the same for the rest of the vito products.
also message me if it did work.
so whats the point of this?//
showing us how to hack the program and not pay for it?
if it is...then its not allowed
i discovered this by accident. dont know if it works tho.
hey. theres the pain of reinstaliing it and shutting it down. i WOULD PAY to get that pain out
and this is trial mode which can be extended. you probably have to pay for more features
they made this trial free but still left a glitch here. I am happy that someone might inform Vito about this and make their trial versions more "secure"

uhh im not rich.
and i dont guarantee it wont work tho you tell me before anything happens.again, just some really weird thing that i just discovered. itll probably have some weird effect on the phone or something and dont ask what it may be.
well just wanted to share what i have accidentally discovered. if you dont like it then fine with me. Im cool with me just having this unlimited paid service which i got by accident, and not sharing it with others if thats the rulez.
ive got more important issues such as this:
Ive copyndpasted the storage card folder into the start menu and dissapeard. i wonder why. can someone post a link on how to "fix" this so that i could access the storage card directly from the start menu?

Please help!!!!!,g1 keeps crashing.

I'm having some real issues it seems. I recently rooted my g1 about 2 weeks ago I'm running jf 1.5.1. My problem is that as soon as I rooted my phone I started to get all kinds of messages on my phone about my apps not responding no matter what I was doing, even apps I wasn't using the one i get the most is for bugreport. then last night when I was doing some stuff on my computer while I was charging my g1 with the usb, I made the most retard mistake ever when I set my comp to sleep I forgot I was charging and I didn't eject. Now when ever i try to use my phone for more then a call or a text Its crashes to the boot screen with the G1 symbol and then restarts. And yes this also damaged my Sd card, I reformatted it last night and it was fine then this morning when it crashed again It said my sd card was damged and i need to reformat it again, I figured **** it I will buy a new one, a much better one then I had before because I run swapper so I figure that swapper had something to do with it bricking my sd card
as you can probably tell from reading this I am new to this rooting stuff and I really just want it to work right If you need more information just tell me I will gladly do anything I possible can to have my phone work smoothly again, I reside in Las vegas If any one is from there that is willing to help me I will gladly even bring it to you.
Thank you for your time.

do a wipe and flash a new rom
So basicly just re root the phone? If I do this can you tell me what I will lose in my phone? also will this completely fix my problem or is my actual phone damgaged?
will this also fix my sd?
bump bump bump
You don't have to reroot. Just get another rom or reflash the same rom and see if it still happens.
Just wipe and reflash..
however I like your idea better, buy a new G1 and send me your old on, everyone wins!
So I wiped my G1 and flashed Jf 1.5.1 abd1 onto it again and it seems to be working fine again, can any one tell me if there was a better choice then the jf rom? So know that I'm basicly back to square one,can any one point me to a thread or site that will tell me how to get the most out of it both app wise and performance wise.
thanks for the help from ever one who posted,I think I'll be stick'n to this forum for all of my android related questions, " oh **** do I hear dontation"!!!!

Sorry. We've removed as much as we can and we still have the smallest ROM that I'm aware of.
Great Job Team YAR
Ok since i am new it wont let me post to the forums But instead go into the q/a.. So team YAR Firstly i just want to say great work on the rom however i few have few concerns and such.... Hangouts is great for sms however some people like the stock sms anyway to reimpliment that in case of someone not wanting to use hangouts as default as that is the only sms that is implemented in the rom. Also battery life is ok not a lot of things to bog it down however for some reason when your in the 3g vs 4g lte battery drain is hell. Is that a common issue when you have a 4g lte phone? Also i took a look through the build prop when i found out this rom has zero tethering capabilities. I turned the values on the build prop to reflect that tething is all in fact on however it does not allow tethering it stays greyed out. I could tether without an issue before this rom using Raptop rom. Im not calling any rom better i feel it is a based on taste decision. But i would like your rom 100% better if it included tethering. Also with this phone and i dont know if it falls the same for all boost variants but the hotspot feature has to do a subscription check to see if you actually paid for a monthly subscription. I did a little digging on the stock rom and found how to bypass it and tether without an issue. But could you please for the sake of other people include tethering with or without a bypass either native or a working 3rd party app. Also is there a way to make more space up because htc and boost did a real job on leaving little to no space and even with links2sd dont clear much up. Could removing some of the launchers help resolve the space issue?..... Sorry for the novel just my concerns

Try pulling the battery. When I get hung up like that sometimes, pulling it usually does the trick. Worth a try. Let us know.
Oh yeh, was coming from RaptorRom v2. Cant get voicemail notifications with it and no visual voicemail so hoping to get on DragonRom. Yeh I have to do battery pull when the HTC screen freezes cause the power won't shut off at that point even when held down. The zip says it flashes and installs SUCESSFULLY, so I don't get it.

Sometimes I have to do a "factory reset/wipe" like 3-4 times and then flash the ROM again. Usually, if all is good and I am installing the right thing, doing the right things etc, if boots up eventually. I know it can be a pain in the As* and it gets very frustrating at times, but usually it'll eventually work. Good luck man!!!

We didn't implement native tethering at this time. I'm sure its a function well include in a future version.
Per the space issue, Minimalist has literally just about everything we could remove, removed, if we find more things to remove, we will continue to do so. We are already planning our next release, unfortunately there is no eta currently.
As per Hangouts. I think the reason @dragonhart6505 included it is because it functions both as SMS and Hangouts. It's killing two birds with one stone for those that use Hangouts. As always, you can remove anything you deem unnecessary and replace it with your preferred app. I'm not at my computer, but if I remember correctly it is located in /system/app so you'll have to use Titanium to remove it. The kernel is pre-rooted and the write protection is disabled.

Native tethering has not been enabled as of yet, but we will work on including it. I use PDANet to tether via USB and Bluetooth, but its WiFi function does not work on our device. We'll get tethering resolved in a near update.
As @dip_spit said, we removed as much as possible while staying sure everything worked as it should. I am currently tearing through the entire system to find what cam be removed and what should stay. Minimalist is perfect if space is a concern, however you wont get much more than ~1gb on a stock based rom.

We recommend flashing from a Stock TWRP backup and factory reset as other roms appear to be conflicting with the permissions needed by a stock-based rom.
We apologize for the inconvenience and we are working on making DragonRom a fully flashable, self-sustained rom that requires no such system to be installed prior to flashing. It is alot of work getting the permissions necessary for this, so please bare with us.
Ive been late to the thread here as i was unaware it existed. Ive now subbed to the thread and will monitor it frequently
Ty
Thank you i was just wondering spacewise if links to sd would clear much more space if i was flashing minimalist rom and building from there? Also as for the tethering i hope its in your future release because i do tether alot lol and i cant always make use of bluetooth tether. But great job never the less im looking forward to testing anything new. Also i have a stock roms from any carrier as well as build.prop from any said carrier if needed.
first time poster
1st off... absolutely love this rom. I've been running the minimal rom for over a week, almost as soon as it was posted. Most storage space I've had yet on my phone! Any problems I had with initial install have easily been dealt with. The one problem I had from from the install was google play not working, would crash as soon as launched. Was solved by sending new version from my computer to install on phone. After my friend saw the rom, we tried to install the featured rom on his phone which got stuck on the HTC boot screen. This problem was solved by installing the stock backup from this site then installing the rom again. But again we love this rom, Thanks Team YAR!!!
Does DragonROM currently support Link2SD's mount scripts at boot for other filesystems than FAT? Also, how risky would it be to try Xposed at this stage of development?

Xposed works pretty well for everyone who everyone who has installed. Remember to make TWRP backups before you install anything.
Front Facing Camera
**Ok I did a search from camera on this particular thread and nothing popped up, so sorry if someones already covered this but....
Has anyone tested the front facing camera on this mod? I need my selfies brah. Nah! but would be nice to have this back! Yo! My camera? Sweet innocent camera --never hurt anyone.
I think I screwed myself.
I think I really got a BRICK here. Ok, I did something stupid. I flashed the HBOOT trying to get the S-OFF but failed. All I got not is HBOOT and under that it says checking.,... overlaying the word checking are the words Press <POWER> to reboot. And that is it. If I try to boot regularly is hangs on the HTC Logo. Did I just really brick my phone for life???
FYI, device is NOT found using adb or fastboot. Interesting this though, when I did have the nonsense rom up and had this HBOOT issue, I could boot regularly and use flashify to boot into recover. So recover is there I just have NO way of getting to it now. Every since I flash with Dragon, no offence, cause dragon is hanging on me at the HTC Logo. AAAAHHHHHHHUUUGHHH. I just broke my phone, I think.

Unfortunately, I think you did.
Have you tried pulling the battery and then after you put it back in hold the volume down button and then press the power button until it comes on to see if you can get into your recovery application?

WAIT! I'm back in baby!!!! HOOOOLLLLIYYYY MOLE' Apparently the HBOOT IMG was in the form of a zip files that was placed in the root of the SD CARD. As I go into HBOOT, bootloader is trying to upgrade to this zip file.. Once I took the SD Card out, bouya! HBOOT is back. What a scare that was. Still having issues booting into the new flash rom, however. I think i'm done for today though... i'm hanging up the hat for the day.
My phone is stuck on the HTC screen after installing DragonRom through the TWRP. I followed all of the directions. I'm on VM.

Installing new ROM - some help/advices

I've never done this before (did it a few times with old omnia i900 and WP6.5, never android) so I need as much help and advice you can give me
I know I need Odin, Kies, a rom and a kernel(??) and drivers. Found all the links from the video /watch?v=bd1zwH2-kX0
If there's a video on youtube showing everything that has good quality you can just redirect me there.
Anyways, my mom uses this phone so I need it to have as much battery life and ease of access possible so which ROMs do you recommend?
I also need to know what I need to have to flash the phone (USB cable and something else software wise, maybe) and what are the risks of flashing it. The reason I'm flashing it is because it feels slow for some reason and it keeps vibrating all the time. Does it need an sdcard because I don't have one.
Sorry if I violated some rules posting this. Thanks.
strange to see you struggle with the same phone as i am the same day on an old phone like this, im trying to get google play to work on it, but it seems the custom backup installed rom is just messed up, google play just give blank screens or some weird errors, the internet and other things work, but https also messed up on some pages, and the date is set correctly =/ which is what usually is wrong on my pc when https is messed up
so im also looking for advice on a custom rom, the lighter its on resources the better, is it also possible to use ROEHSOFT_RAM_Expander on this phone? is the kernel limit of swap ram a software thing or a hardware think?

Yes. I also have same problems, white screen for play store or errors saying it crashed or no connection. I think a different ROM would solve all these problems. You can try Cyanogenmod.

I haven't tried anything today. My mom just got the phone today so I don't really want to brick/mess something up.
I tried only installing few apps like Facebook, Opera, Chrome, FB Messenger and Viber. Some worked right away, for some I had to download different apks because play store doesn't work. I haven't even tried rooting it. It could be rooted using kingoroot, I might try it.
I noticed that play store works only when you want to update an app. It didn't crash when it redirected me to YT app and FB app update.

i installed kitkat4.4 from this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtYI91-S8Tk
google play worked until it updated then the blanck screen stuff started to happen all over again, but at least the kitkat version does not eat up all the internal storage like the rom i had from stock, so it only uses 20% vs 80% 90% so for that reason ill keep it until i see a better alternative on the forum, may play with it again but out of time.

Did you do everything like from the video or did you do something that is usual thing to do before flashing that a noob like me would miss?
Have you tried flashing it again but this time without updating the app?
Also did you use sdcard for this or via usb on PC?
this is the way to go for me, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2698533 this one works wonderfully
it has chrome and flash working, it also works as smooth as silk vs the stock or the kitkat 4.4 roms, so don't waste your time and trying to get the other ones working.
let me know how it goes.
Edit: replaced old post to avoid more headaches old post in quotes
1- ! meesed up the phone the first time then i fixed it with oddin and the files here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2560314
2-then installed using the youtube video as a guide, i didn't do as the description said but rather did exactly what i saw in the video, the guy dees a bad jobin the description, he mentions step (5 - Select the vM00CWMv3f) but in the video he never touches it, so dont search for it or download it just ignore that step or do exacly as the video, use J K L to play pause advance or back the video and make sure you mirror him xD
if you do the odding thing your phone will be like the default mode, unrooted and so but no need to root it to install the rom of the video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtYI91-S8Tk
PD : google play is still a messy mess with its blank screen with the kitkat version of the video , i uninstall/downgrade google_play_services and the google_play_store, then i open google play and accept the termns and install my intended app with the old google store, then google updates an installs its bugged app all over again without me wanting, then i go uninstall or downgrade the two apps all over again and install my next app with the old google play, its morroning all afternoon already ^_^
wasn't technology supposed to make life easier?
so where did you get stuck? no one of the experts will recommend a rom? T_T
PD2: did not use an external sdcard, only the internal, and i used the usb cable with the oddin program, then after the odding ting, i did use the cable to upload files to the root, then i did what the video shows without cables or rooting
ive send a pm with my whatsapp and skype hit me there if you still strugle, im online 4 t o5 more hours

Why is the notification bar no the bottom on the CM7 one you sent?
Thanks for helping me out. I might try today flashing it but still without sdcard.
BTW if you try flashing it again you might try recording it with an HD camera to see the full process on how to do it. I could also edit it and add annotations and you could post it to youtube if you want. If you do that please make sure it's bright enough in the room

just show your mom this forum thread before you try anything with her device, remember i was ok with hammering my device, so i didn't care if i killed it, but it works very nice with any of those rom, the guys that worked on those know their stuff!!, and is probably worth the effort flashing the device, also leave your sim chip in when doing the rom flashing, it seems the provider sends the configuration automatically to the device when it starts the new installed rom, if not then be prepared to search the internet for the apn settings of your cellphone company or to call them and ask.
I know the APN settings for my provider. My mom doesn't speak english so it would look like chinese for her.
Thanks for all the links. She doesn't seem to have too much problems right now. Did installing these ROMs make your vibrating to stop?

this phones vibration is dead, and it didn't get it working with any of the roms I've tried, so wont be able to answer you on that, this phones google play didn't work, not even with the stock rom, so that is why i started to flash it with the downloadable roms on this forum. Hyperion and the KitKat Smart R2 roms are really nice roms, i would say for a woman/girl use the 'KitKat Smart R2' rom and for a man/boy use the hyperion, the hyperion have a more drone electronic type theme, the phone will say with a robotic voice "ill be back" when you shut it down ^_^
lol @ hyperion.
It should say "get to the choppa"
Thanks for every advice if my mom decides the software is unbearable on the phone I will flash it.
Does play store work on hyperion/kitkat smart s2?
