I see a lot of porting and creating being done such as Hero roms, Blur, Pulse, and everything else we can get out hands on (and I'm thankful for all of it)
But I was curious if we could make mixture rom with a little bit of everything.
I really like the Pulse's Canvas 3x3 home screen display
And the Behold ii's Notification bar with shortcuts to the wifi,gps, etc.
Hero's this
Blur's that.
Etc.
Would if be too much of a mess with framework and odex's files to mash into one rom?
Highly possible, and very easy... All you need is the source code to all the ROMs you are mixing.... So let me reword that - Highly impossible, and very hard.

lol Nicely put
EDIT: WOOHOO POST 1000
It might be possible but I think we'd struggle to fit it on a g1 anyway.. By the time you've ported all the neccessary framework to support everything, I think you'd be way past the 90-odd meg we have to play with.... and that's assuming all those packages would play nicely together in the first place.. I'm not about to try it.
Aw shucks, it's a beautiful idea though you all have to admit lol.
But ok well my minute is up I don't mind this thread being moved or deleted thanks guys

And that, dear boy, is why your updates failed. Past about 92 MB you exceed the system allowable update size. We haven't gotten an update that installs directly to the ext yet, although we could do it that way...

XD hahha. did i mention i love you twisted? your post quality is off the charts
In all seriousness, though, get an update.zip to mount the ext before install and you could put the apps directly on it and just symlink the folder temporarily for first boot, then let the system remove and recreate the link...

That's true. I think we really have something here. Perhaps this thread could become a think tank for getting 100Mb+ roms working. Yes? The only thing is... we don't have a 100Mb+ rom to work on... Hm...
there's a rom floating around here that manages something similar, it's a hero rom with hero apps and the blur launcher with some mixed anims and visuals, a personal favorite of mine, you should check it out, I think it's by diaztradeinc, but I'm not sure, I'll look it up and let you know

So edit the update-script and set the symlinking on the firstboot.sh?
format everything lol
we could format the whole g1 and add the stuffs that we need
or format a 2gb and up sdcard to ext3-4 and put everything on it
I was planning to that. I was trying to put all files from the g1 hard drive to my sdcard but ran out of space. In theory it is possible but you will need a very motived dev to do this.
I think this was the one, but now that I saw it, it looks like this one uses a rosie skinned like the blur's launcher. I remember I had seen another one that actually used the blur launcher on the hero apps/framework, I'd need to dig a bit deeper
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567122
oh, and, honestly, even if we had the source for every single release, I'm very, very sure you still wouldn't see some sort of mashup rom. Why? think about what has been done so far with the available source from android? Other than a few modifications to Launcher, mms, phone, and settings apks (and stericson's lockscreen mods), there's been very little done from the code. Why? because most people here don't even know java. Having the source would still be useless to most people here, let alone actually making something out of it. So, actually, in the mean time, it seems that if this is going to work, the way it's going to be done is the easy way, the way it's been done up to now, just mash things together and force them to work.

Nah, that wasn't it. Most (all?) of drizzy's roms were a joke anyway. I have the rom somewhere in my computer (did I mention I have like 30 GB of roms that I've downloaded? basically, if it's on androidspin, it's on my computer too), so I'll look for it.
To be honest guys I don't think space is a problem at all.
While everyone is going around asking if the g1 will get the 2.0 update I'm very confident we'll be running android 3.0 on our g1's eventually we'll just need to figure out a way to put it on the sd card which I'm sure we can figure out.
It's a shame though, I was hoping we should manage something like that.
A home replacement that uses the Pulse's canvas
Some editis to the notification bar.
Etc etc etc.
But I guess it ties into what someone said about not knowing how to write in the specific code needed which is understandable.

Not yet...since ive been here reading and following along (+ testing ofcourse ) for over a year now, people have progressed amazingly here! More and more are starting to figure out that this is something we all should invest in. Give it more time, more people will learn or come through that are genius coders.
Down the road I absolutely see people writing their own androids, like linux is now. Distributions (or highly modified current builds).
Sort of how hero changed everything, we had the basic one tab at the bottom, then all of a sudden this came out and we had many tabs and new interactions.
Anything is possible with this, just give maybe another 6 months, but def. a year will bring some talent through. Just hope the g1 holds till then
Wanted to make sure everyone knew about this. Link can be found via their twitter acct. Sadly at&t doesn't want us to have it. I'm sure there might be an easier way, but I will probably flash a quick galaxy s rom and see if it will let me pick it up that way. Anyone else interested in getting this? Or if you know an easier way of getting it please let me know.

Thanks for the heads up.
I can't get the game either, on an AT&T Captivate in Canada.
Yeah I have been trying different phones etc this morning to get it. I put my phone as the Droid on their page and put in my phone number. It sent me the download link but when I clicked it, It said no downloads are available for your phone. I am trying to find a way around this ... grrrrrr.
If you try to download it from the WAPStore with a Captivate Rom it will say its not available for your device..
Right above that message is the option to change your device.. lol
Amazingly simple work around. Just change your device to a Vibrant and bada bing. You got game.
EDIT: 181mb file must be downloaded after you download the initial 4.something or ruther mb apk
Same here. Lotta people also saying what's floating around out there won't work on our Galaxy S phones.
it works fine one cyanogen, i dont know if i can post the apk?? i dont think i can do that legally since its not gonna be free for long..

Seconded this. When you reach the screen saying there are no downloads for your phone tap on the bar that says "Captivate" and navigate to Vibrant. Donezo.

Worked!!! Perfect. Now to see if this thing will actually run on this phone ... should cause its a fellow galaxy s but ya never know....
Interesting ... It doesnt seem to recognize internal storage. It says 182 MB free space required on external SD and the screen only has 2 buttons ... retry or cancel. I have abour 6 gb free so hmmm ... maybe it's time to pony up for that expansion space.
Killer find, thanks for sharing!
didn't have a problem getting it with di11igaf's rom, well cause its awesome lol

Please, I know I am not reading this. Gameloft actually has done it right because they KNOW ATT app locks their phones so that is why they don't allow it. Imagine if they allowed you to spend the $5 to buy the game, only to find out you couldn't install it, you would be even more mad.
Needless to say there IS a fix as I installed it on my phone right now. You do NOT have to have a special rom to do it either, this is all you need
Requirements:
Phone rooted (got to market and get "One click Lag Fix" does it easliy)
App unlocked or sideload capable
If you have done that go to this post and read this thread. I am also attaching the apk for this, just in case if no one wants to bother with the stuff below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819721
What you want to do is change the build.prop. PLEASE MAKE COPIES of your original before you overwrite it. That really is your only goal for reading that thread.
Changing the build.prop makes the phone look like the i9000 which Gameloft will allow you to install the app. After the app has downloaded and installed. Copy the original build.prop over again and reboot your phone. You must reboot your phone each time you overwrite the file. Hope this helps.
I figured it is a useful trick to know as know it will have helped me for the 2nd time.
Or you can use the Android Central sideload wonder machine ... it works! Did it earlier
Still a fail... http://twitter.com/gameloft one tweet they say it works, the next no, this has NOTHING to do with rooting or anything else, it is a pure case of bad marketing and failing to do their research...
I managed to get it, they say they were having problems. This morning when I tried it sent me a text to site but I didn't think you could change the phone from there. I tried a minute ago and changed phone to vibrant and all is good.
Be sure to check back on their site. They will have more coming out through Christmas, but the links only stay up for about a day. Some days its iPhone while others will be for Android.

The right place for this question would be the thread of the build you are using.
There you have all the people that use this build and the developers of the build.
They would advice you to read the first post, thoroughly, and the FAQ to wich you can find a link in said first post of said thread.

No, don't do this if you like the resolution for normal use.
Open the drawer and look for Spare Parts. Uncheck "Compatibility Mode". Now reboot and all your apps will run fine.

It's a bit easier, although the other way isn't that hard.
It depends on what you like. If you like the smaller status bar/icons so you've got a greater view (what you have at the beginning), then do it the way I explained.
If you prefer the bigger status bar/ icons, do it on your way.
Both ways will make the apps work in full screen, but they'll change the viewing experience.

I know deleting that particular file is to enable software rendering.. or disabling. one of those. Suppose to help mainly with gaming. But my main question, if any one knows, is that if you delete from the system does it have any other benefits or even negativves to other partsof the rom?

I'm looking for a utility for Windows 7 that can make 150 copies of a single image and give them sequential names. I need it to work with .bmp images.
Does anyone know of such a thing?

Thank you for any response.

Can't you just write a batch file to make 150 copies, numbered as required? Software seems overkill for this.

Yeah, it could be a pain, but how about this....
do files copies 001-010, then copy them and paste them 9 times. Then, using insert, go to the 2nd 001 file and go 1 down left 1 down left 1 down left 1 down left etc. 2 down left 2 down left etc.. You get the idea.
Then, when you get to 99, copy 001-050 and change the first character of all of them to a 1 in the same way. I bet it would take about 2 minutes.
Actually, if you had a text editor that would allow you to edit columns (usually alt, click and mouse drag) then you could do it even quicker!
But yeah, I wouldn't have suggested it that way if it was something that wouldn't be generic and could be used over and again, exactly the same way.
I never got into batch file scripting that much. I did a few zip making things, getting labelled source code from source safe and zipping up projects - things like that. I literally have no idea how to do a for next loop that counts from 1 to 150 though!
And I write software for a living
