Finally!!!. But one Question

Well after some time i had trouble loading the Recovery Menu to install he hardspl on my phone(and for everybody who helped me before, i found that reinsalling the 1.0 update and repeating everything from scratch fixed my problem, but thanxs for the help anyways)
I finally got it working.So now im running JF1.51
But now im trying to put appstosd on my phone
But what im reading is that you need TheDudes Rom to do so
Am i mistaken???
Or is there a specific way of doing it for Jf's rom
I've been looking aroung with no luck
So far all ive been able to make a partition, but thing arent going so well.
When i first tried it i Sucessfully created a partition on my phone
but when i install appstosd and try to "Move all Apps to SD"
it works but when trying to install stuff from the market it tells me "install unsucessful" and i cant revert it so i have to wipe/factory reset from recovery menu to get back to normal
So now im here like a [email protected] wondring what the heck do i do any help appreciated!

i feel like a broken record but... have you tried using the search feature?
because imo, if you did you would know that a2sd is not only for the dudes.
also 'HERE' link in my sig has a nice guide for getting a2sd and also go to the dev section.
oh to add, did you symlink your apps before you went to the market to install the apps?
if not, do that please.

Ok i got you but
whats symlink????
and how do i do it

okay if you are asking me what symlink means then you are obviously not reading the guides that are here on xda or even on the net for that matter.

well im kinda new and all these methods sound "Advanced"
especially the one you gave me
but im going to try ill see what happens
so thanxs

have you looked into lucidrem's script?

there are three basic rules to modding your phone:
SEARCH
IF IT LOOKS TOO HARD AND YOU'RE SCARED THEN STOP
IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO UNDO THE PROCESS THEN DON'T START
in the future start with step one

this is odd

solved!!!!

You lost root when you rolled back to rc 29. You'll need to redo the process.

Yep just like he said. When you reload RC29 you lose root.

Yes I know I lost root not worried about that. My phone will not let me install in apk. From the market or the internet. I can down load them but not install them

any ideas
let me clear stuff up. i know i lost root im not trying to flash anything to my phone. ( i have rooted 3 different g1s several times and a couple of different ways i have good idea how this works i think)
i cant install any application on my phone!
i am getting a installation unsuccessful error with all .apks on rc 29.
also this mean i can not get root back do the fact i cant telnet or run any third party app.
so my phone i stuck in original stock hell.

The problem is that rc29 is based on Android 1.0 and currently the telnet app in the market is made for Android 1.5... that's why that, or any other of your 1.5 apps, fail to install.
Try to find a copy fo the 1.0 release of telnetd and try again

sorry thought you were providing a link to one click root thread sorry its been a long night.

ok i think i had a swap partition still on my sd card. and when i flashed back it some how read that as internal memory so i used another card. and it worked like magic. lol gosh im dumb!!! if you ever need anything feel free to ask me i would give some money but im broke college kid. and im about to test and see if get the same results and if i do i would like the word out. because i think one click root app will be short lived (which kind of sucks).

yes every app i tried to install failed including astro which i knew last week was working. and even so i would not get a force close instead of failure to install?

Not true, I can drop to RC29 and download and install telnet.

looking to hero! Some questions

Hello all,
I'm curious about somethings for turning my g1 to the hero (rosie?) rom (wow it looks beautiful).
The first being Where can I actually find it? I found two sites that offer it but doesn't seem like its from the developer themselves (who I'd trust more).
Secondly, which developer has the best performance (e.g. speed, ect.). I've read that it is a deadly slow Rom and I already lack patience for my g1 now (It's the stock firmware). The hero its self looks much smoother, am I wrong?
If I can't risk my phone being bricked should I bother trying it? (I had it JF rooted in the summer which I did successfully on my first try, and I un-rooted it.)
Is there a text document with how to install with a video that coincides?
Lastly, Is Cyanogen a better rom? (this has next to nothing to do with the hero rom )
Hopefully I didn't miss a thread on this I searched for like an hour.

You cant just start driving, you have to learn the basics.When you get in a car there a many things that you need to do first is learning and even taking test.
You must have root first and a recovery image and im guessing your all stock.The dream section has all the info needed to root now is up to you to decide if you want to read it.
-Best regards

Thank you. I am very comfortable with the rooting process. I just don't want to do it unless the rosie rom is worth it!

Basically, Hero is incomplete. It doesn't have Bluetooth nor full Google Voice integration, and it runs 1.5. However, at the rate the devs are going on Hero 2.1 the version it runs could change very soon.
For now, stick with Cyanogen as it is a better Rom. Hero doesn't really work on the G1, it's slow and there is a lot of core function missing. It will never be an everyday ROM. I think of it like a concept car. Its cool in a "look what we can do" sort of way, but just wait for the next HTC Android phone.

Its not slow...You must be running a super old version..Hero 2.1 roms and 1.5 roms are both very fast...King's 2.1 is very fast and close performance to cyanogen, please dont misinform people.All current hero roms are fast, in a 2.1 rom you can achieve 20mb+ free ram which is about the same to a cyanogen rom. Maybe you used a old jac rom months ago.

I'm sorry to say, but no I have tried many Hero configurations on my class 6 as recently as a month ago. The fact is that even if there were drivers for all of the hardware over time Hero really starts to bog down. It will not always perform after that post-setup peak it has.
If you want working hero wait until the first 2 weeks of January when the Passion comes out.

Going to try this tonight. Read and watched the videos. seems very simple. thank you!

need help!
When following this guide http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/ho...ps2sd-onto-your-g1-or-mytouch-3g-best-method/ (I already did the one click root with no issues)
In part II of the guide
. Download the custom SPL for your device:
T-Mobile G1 – Here
MyTouch 3G – Unneccessary, skip this section and proceed to Section III.
3. Plug in your phone and mount the SD card (pull down on the notification bar and select the SD card notification then click Mount in the pop up window).
4. After the SD card shows up on the computer, put the SPL zip file on to the memory card.
5. Once it is done transferring to the memory card and you have renamed it, unplug the phone from the computer.
6. Turn off the phone and then turn it back on by holding down the Home and Power button to get to recovery mode (keep holding it until the recovery screen with the writing and black background come up). Here i get to the ! so I hit Alt + L to get to the recovery screen. It gives me the menu to reboot, apply zip, wipe. However at the bottom of the screen it says E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command
7. Once the recovery screen is up, click on Wipe Data. Once that is done, click on Apply Update.zip and wait for it to finish. I wipe the date and then apply zip. I then get this message __ Install from sdcard... Finding update package... Opening update package... Verifying update package... E: No signature (5 files) E: Verification failed Installation aborted
I'm assuming this means the SPL file is corrupt but I don't know much and probably am wrong.
How can I fix this? I got this far with no issues and so close to being done!

Just rename to update not update.zip and make sure the sd is Fat32 not Fat or NTFS.
radio goes first i think make sure you did that section.

UP AND RUNNING JACHERO
Thanks a bunch ace. In the two minutes its been up it's looked as good as I wanted it to!

so my son grabbed it this morning, it froze i took the battery out. Now it keeps going to the hero screens over and over again. what should I do?

If I were you I would try re-flashing. Do you have a custom recovery.img? Like Cyan's or Amon-Ra's? If you do, try wipe cache, wipe ext part, wipe cache, and then re-flash. That's always the first thing I do when my phone starts getting buggy.

Why cant I go back to Cyanogen Mod from Eclair 2.1???

Why cant I go back to Cyanogen Mod from Eclair 2.1? I would appreciate it, if someone helped me.

What issues are you having?

well, when i attempt to apply the cyanogen rom, my phone just bricks at the G1 screen. I even re-rooted and went back to stock, but nothing works. Its like can only apply 2.1 roms now.

Well saying "brick" like you were is saying it wrong. A Brick means there's no return. But when you apply the cyan rom do you do the Htc Dev file and then the Cyan rom? If you just flash the cyan it won't do it right. It needs the first file THEN the cyan rom.

go to recovery console and clear your ext partition
mount system/sd
rm -rf /system/sd/*
reboot recovery
wipe and reflash..
good luck

yeah I loathe ppl saying "brick" its really a bootloop... your app data isnt compatible with the cy rom... when you wipe from the recovery it doesnt touch the ext partition, jus the system

xda Devs and Members should really make a lingo dict here or something explaining what bootloop and brick means so that no one gets confused or misunderstood =/...

brick means hearing "I told you so" for a month straight...

thanks....

Dude if i can make a suggestion..
Go Super D.
Less hassle
Much Faster =D
Well to me it is but to each his own.

How about i throw your punk ass into a brick wall! Its funny how one can talk **** over the internet....grow up *****!

you have to wipe/factory defult it like 8 or more times and clear your sd card out then put the rom back on and reboot and most likely it will work.... i did for me

...make a backup first though if you dont want to lose your stuff

im good now....i appreciate the input tho

[Rooting] In all honesty, is it really worth it? Im thinking about going back to stoc

**Edit: I was completely wrong.. I figured out everything, i know what i'm doing now lol.. thanks guys.
My first time rooting was a couple days ago when i had learned about the "1 Click Root" method...
I succeeded, got that latest ROM (to my knowledge) CM6 RC2 from the trusty (lol) ROM Manager.. which i enjoy a lot since im rooted and what not. I also themed my ROM a couple times to (what i think) are pretty cool themes..
But anyways, to make a boring story short (lol).. I absolutely hate (with a passion) wiping my data to my phone when i see or hear about this awesome new theme i want.. people say it is a must to wipe ur phones data to apply the "best" effect..
This gets REALLY old.. i had to do this like three times yesterday because i kept seeing new themes i wanted lol.. Re-entering passwords and re downloading all of your apps everytime you want a new ROM or want to apply a theme is too much work for how "great" rooting is.. Dont get me wrong, i love the new style of my phone, it looks amazing, but man! do i really have to keep wiping data to apply the things i want??
I now, noticed that all my contacts are not my phone. Only the contacts phones numbers on facebook that i had sync'd.. "My" contacts that i have in my phone are not there.. I imported them from my sim card and re-booted, but still not there.. Could this be because of my theme?
To what really made me mad was my camera, it keeps force closing.. Is this also because of the theme? I have the normal radio ending in 4.06.00.12_7.. I do not know if it didnt work before i applied the theme or when i rooted, i just realized last night it didnt work.. i do not want to re flash cm6 to see if the camera is working just because i do not want to "start" all over again.. with wiping and all that... if i have to, sadly, i will.
I had stock froyo frf91 before i rooted my phone.. in all honesty, should i just un root my phone and go back to the way it was? because if i have to keep wiping data, and starting over, im going to blow a fuse lol..
*** Sorry for my aggressive tone everybody, i just would like everything to be a smooth ride wth no wiping and i can apply themes as easy as 123 without losing data.. is there any ROM or theme that you could recommend?
please, someone help me... thanks xda community

I don't ever wipe when I upgrade to the next version of cyan, so I don't lose a single thing. People say to wipe if you have problems. But you shouldn't have problems which means you don't need to wipe. It runs perfectly fine for me this way with no issues at all, no force closes, etc.

Really? hmm.. ok thanks man.. but in rom manager when you downlaod something, it brings up an option saying backup and wipe.. do i have to click that or can i just cancel and just go ahead and reboot..?

The way I do it (maybe not the fastest) is to set up your rom exactly how you want it, nandroid, then install any mods that might eff up your installation. Once you've installed the mod and you're 100% sure mms/wifi/bt/gmail/etc are all working, you can nandroid again and use that as your base.
The only time you'd need to wipe is if you want to set up another rom so you could switch back and forth between different roms.
And by different roms I don't mean updates within roms, like CM6 nightlies or enom's updates, I mean completely different roms like CM6 as opposed to enom.

Ok thank you.. what about for themes and what not...? it says i have to wipe as well....

Your problem looks to be trying to navigate complicated stuff with lack of skills.
There is a good reason to root "old-fashioned" way, without 1-click stuff: if you read all you need to read and understand (various guides that teach you how to work with recovery etc) to root, then you won't get lost when rooted. Now you're trying to do stuff without even knowing, how things work, and let me guess - you didn't read any guide, you don't know how to work with recovery w/o ROM manager and don't know how to load a ROM, etc.
My suggestion is - go to Development section, open the stickies with guides and start reading. Do the same in General section, and don't skip the Wiki either.
Root brings you full control of the system, and it's excellent - knowing your way you can do tons of stuff, theming being the least interesting/important. But to control, you need to know and understand more than "1-click stuff".
Or you can just go back to stock, if you see no added value in a rooted phone.

What theme are you talking about, I don't recall seeing any themes requiring a wipe.
The only thing I can think of is a pre-themed rom. If you don't know the difference between a theme and a themed rom, you should follow Jack's advice and read up.

Your mistake is thinking that because there is an option to wipe in Rom Manager, then it must be necessary. No it isn't. The option is there for the people who want to wipe, but upgrading from one CM to another won't need it, themes won't need it, etc.
It is your job to know when it is needed or not. And you get that by reading and understanding how your phone works.

just wipe the Cache and the Dalvik Cache, the only time you must fully wipe is if you get boot loop when flashing a new rom/mod/etc.

You just uncheck the wipe one. Besides you can just use recovery and don't have to use ROM manager.

You certainly do not wipe to install a theme. That makes no sense! You would lose all your data all the time.

I'm still running stock unrooted. One off the main reason why i don't really want to root is because I know how customizable our phones are, and i love new things.. like you, if i was to see a new theme Or rom I'd jump on it straight away. I don't think I'd ever stop!!

Honestly that's exactly why I didn't root for 3 months. But once I found my exact setup now I just know how to setup each new ROM quickly. After that point now its just fun to tinker the phone and try the cyan nightly. It's really better to just root it. I was in the same spot as you I know what you mean.

I still haven't stopped haha its great bro I'm tellin ya
