Some cool applications that I took from Drizzy Drake's T-Mo Pulse System dump. I'll see if they're anymore applications that can be run on the G1.

On Cyanogen 4.1.999:
Block Breaker works fine.
Sound Recorder FC's when you click on "Recordings", any way I can fix that? Otherwise it works fine.

run a fix_permissions in terminal or command line and see if that fixes it. I'm running Cm 4.1.99 and both apps run great.
wrong thread, sorry.

Umm I think you ended up in the wrong thread. These are T-Mobile Pulse apps, not Sprint apps.
fix_permissions did not seem to work.
Any chance of getting the dialer? Im wondering if its similar to the dialer in the hero roms, with the dialer contact search.
Block Breaker works great on the rooted Tmo 1.6(donut). Thanks for this. Haven't tried the sound recorder...
i love this game!! its the best game for the g1. that robo defense game is soo boring. is fun for like 2 seconds then just repeats. i was blown away with how different the stages in this game are, with the bosses(totally unexpected) and the weapons upgrades. i started playing it, just to try it, but couldnt put it down lol.
and the recorder is good but i get the same fc's when clicking on the recordings thing. havent tried the fix per. yet though. but really why do we need it? theres a free one on the market i thnik. plus theyre really just shortcuts, because the g1 already has a recorder built in, just no shortcut to it

yeah, block breaker 2 really is cool ! I made it up to level 10 last night. I don't know why you guys get the force close on the sound recorder, maybe it's because you guys are running cm 4.1.999?

i don't think there is anyway to port the dialer from the pulse rom, it's like trying to port the hero widgets to the g1.. it's solely for that rom.
Maybe someone who is good with JesusFrekes smali/basksmali can try to port it to the G1.
Is there an app that can make the ringtone volume ascending...?
Thx in advance.
you could probably use a wave editor like audacity to edit your ringtone, then use a fade in effect that would slowly raise the volume to max level
Good idea. Is there an app which will do it automatically on the G1...?
You can check any of the ringtone makers on the market, but I doubt they can do that so you would have to do it for each ringtone.
we need a thread where everyone posts awesome ringtones. I'm getting burnt out on the default ones.

My old samsung phone had it, and I liked it. The phone would start by vibrating then start ringing softly and get progressivly louder. I didn't need to keep changing volume settings if the room was getting louder or softer. That was one of the first things I looked for on my phone when I got it.
I remember an application that changed the ring volume based on ambiant noise, but that's not what you were asking about but could help you in your last situation.

It's been a standard feature of just about every Nokia made in the last 10 years!
Never owned a nokia so....
Motorola Cliq has that option BTW so it can be done. May be someone can port it to G1. I've never used it but sounds like a good option to have.
Cliq is on 1.6, correct...? So it's a custom feature by Moto...?
Is it included in 2.0, 2.0.1 or 2.1...?
Cliq is 1.5, I don't think it's even going to get upgraded to any other versions... yeah Motorola sucks.

"WOAH! What phone is that??"
You: "This is the Nexus One. Check THIS out..."
(What do you do when showing off your phone? And have you converted any iPhone/BBers out there? Let's hear some stories!)
I show them the live wallpapers, especially the live earth rotation one.
I also show off how well google syncs up.
As well, I show off the youtube app, then that I have about 50 youtube videos downloaded.
I also show off the camera, damn good for a phone!
The keyboard, and how fast I can type on it(I can fly with this! Better than any hardware keyboard I have every used, although can't do it blind.)
Most of all, I show them how fast I can move from app to app, screen to screen, and what not... I usually do about a 2 minute demo that shows off almost the entire phone, and not once does it ever sit there waiting to load. That is the most impressive aspect of all!
I throw there phone to the ground crunch it with my boot then demand they kiss my phone as I pinch and zoom the pic of me crapping in a urinal.
OR
Do the "navigate to ___" to show them the turn by turn GPS nav.

Stock keyboard in landscape, portrait is a little small. One of the first things I do with any phone is type as fast as my thumbs can move, and I found that I could go way faster than I thought I could or would be able to...
I find myself typing really slow at times trying to make sure I hit the key, then remember that I can just start flaring away, and it will keep up. About the only thing I really do I can think of some might not is that I make sure I pull my thumb all the way up, partially and likely mostly easy and quick for me because I am a drummer and tap a lot, so am used to it. As well, I type with no fear!

Do you use the vibrate on keypress or leave it off? (If this has an effect on typing speed)
Where do you get the earth live wallpaper?

Personally I use haptic (vibrate)...we should start a keyboard tips and tricks thread
I have haptic, the vibrate thing, turned off personally... and yeah, when I type slow and deliberate I do much worse than when I just try to type as fast as I can, within reason of course. The only time I have a major issue is that auto correct will replace a word I spelled correctly with someting else, but I have been making a point of adding words to the dictionary so this is become a less common issue.
You get the earth live wallpaper in the market. Do a search for "live wallpaper" and it is one of the first 3 or 4... also, if you check the themes and apps section for the Nexus One, the dev has a support thread on here.
People rarely ask nor do I flaunt it, I never see anyone else with it. If they ask I would show them but I never have the live wallpapers enabled to show them right away, I would have to change the background just so they can be amazed by it

Ah, iPhone fan boys are the best! I had a customer come in with an unlocked iPhone a couple days ago, and I was finishing a text when he walked up... naturally, he asked what I had, showed it to him, and he said it was an iPhone clone... I said "No, it is a 1ghz Android OS Google Nexus One, see..." then showed him my live wallpaper and said "see, and iPhone can't do that"... it went on like this for a couple minutes... can your phone do this? Yup, and look mine is already loaded even though I started after you!
Then, I asked if his phone had google nav, with speech to text, speech to nav, speech to dial? Asked him to show me his background... If his iPhone had a 5mp flash camera? Expandable memory? It was brilliant!

Like others have said, point one I show them my spinning Earth Live wallpaper, that changes depending what time of day it is.
Then, if there's a decent print/piece of art/product I Google Goggle it. 'Yeah, of course its a can of coke', 'Okay, but can your iPhone detect that its a can of coke?', 'Erm...'
Then I point out widgets (nothing new I know, but iPhone owners don't have them) like the News & Weather widget.
Then I generally just show them how smoothly it can move in and out of apps and tell tham about the snapdragon CPU and 512 RAM and ROM, which probably no other phone this year will beat. I also point out the amazing OLED screen. Last night I had a 3Gs owner admitting he was leaning towards wanting one

No? I've been hearing about 800 RAM, 1.2-1.5 GHz chips and dual-core processors. Not that I feel I need dual-core in my phone (because holy hell, heating issues; see laptops), but there you go. Maybe not debuting any time soon, but toward the end of 2010, almost definitely.
I show them Layar, FxCamera, and Google Sky Map
So here is my situation...
First, what I want:
I txt a lot, don't really call much. I want an extremely fast ROM. Light weight (I don't run many apps at all, Pandora, and uh...well thats about it), and not heavy on the theme. I'm happy with Helix launcher.
I also want the HTC dialer, I hate all the other dialers. I want the HTC dialer because I press numbers to spell names to call people. Only other dialer I found that does that is DialerPro or some garbage.
My problem:
My HERO is very very very very slow. With Pandora running sometimes it just locks up completely while still playing music.
If I am getting a txt or have justt sent one, there is a 5-10 second lag in the phone doing anything or responding at all.
Sometimes I can't unlock it, I try to draw the pattern and it doesn't pick up my touch Until half way through the pattern. This is the same with Swype, sometimes it doesn't pick up my swype until half way through, or sometimes it just ends it early.
Its really driving me insane. I don't honestly see how anybody would ever keep this phone if it was acting like this for everyone else. Sometimes I have to make calls in a hurry (God forbid I ever need to dial 911) and the phone just sits there and locks up, or lags horribly and skips numbers, or just force closes almost everything.
I have tried many roms. Currently I am on the CM6 2.2 (inb4 experimental) but I'm willing to try others. I have had the SAME problems on other roms.
I have also tried changing phones and have the same exact freezing and lagging issues.
So please, suggest a rom that is very light weight, allows me to use the HTC Dialer, and doesn't freeze all the damn time.

Not really one out there... for speed and lightweight I recommend aospMOD, but you'd have to give up the dialer. There's always dialer one, which is similar though
Do you use autokiller? Usually when people have similar problems to yours they don't run autokiller and when they do their problems go away. Give it a try. I would say aggressive setting in your case.

CM6 will fix all your lag, but you'd have to sacrifice your dialer. Are you sure you can't find a third party dialer that works for you?
Sense is very resource-heavy on any phone, so AOSP is type best bet.

Agreed, and dialer one can pick up some of that sense-like feel
If you really want the speed and responsiveness, you are likely going to have to leave Sense behind. Like others have said, an ASOP-based ROM (such as ASOPmod or CM6.1) would be the best bet. If you tried CM6 in the past, give CM6.1 a shot. At least for me, the move from 2.2 to 2.2.1 was a DRAMATIC improvement in the fluidity of the phone's responsiveness and 'feel'. Smooth as silk and buttery on top.
If possible, pair this up with a modestly overclocked kernel. I personally use Decad3nce's latest (11/12/10) CFS 768mhz kernel clocked @ 729 via the Deca battery mod. Once you set up the ROM, kernel, and battery mod - you should be golden.
Also of note, I do use LauncherPro, and run with JIT enabled and all the CM performance tweaks in place except for CompCache, which I leave disabled.
Good luck in your endeavors to remove the lag from your Hero - don't worry, it's definitely possible!
I've unlocked, installed CWM, rooted it, installed busybox via the busybox installer from the market (which requires root), however titanium tells me that the SU command fails and I should attempt to re-root my device
Where should I go from here before I break something?
Thanks
UPDATE:
Never mind, booted into recovery, reinstalled VIVID_CWM_ROOT_VER2.zip all is good
had the same drama at first nice fix how are you finding the phone???
So fair I am impressed with the speed, I have not used 4G yet, its not available in my area yes, but its light years ahead of all the other handsets here even on 3G.
Physically I was expecting it to be heavier, and coming from a HTC HD2, the lock and volume buttons are perfectly positioned so that I accidentally press them all the time as they are in opposite of what I am used to and its the same width but 1 cm taller, which means I can no longer use my leather belt pouch I miss having a physical hangup and separate physical answer key which through the circumstances of its birth (WinMo 6.5) the HD2 was blessed with. Build quality on the MicroSD card slot is lacking, it could have been made better. I also miss being able to hot-swap the microsd card as I could in the HD2, instead I have to pull the battery which is annoying.
Software wise, I gotta say that I am REALLY missing MIUI, Sense is very pretty but I find it is not really what I am looking for and its quite clunky in comparison to MIUI... and I hate how it squashes down widgets for no reason at all. I will probably play around with AWD or LauncherPro in the meantime, I'm also not really a fan of the ringpull unlock screen but I'm sure I will get used to it in time. I noticed that the VIVID and RAIDER have sense 3.0, where as the Velocity has Sense 3.5... maybe ROM people can yank a clean build from the Telstra build along with teeter
BlueTooth - Works Great, Syncs INSTANTLY with my car, never skips on A2DP, works great.
Wifi - Works fantastically
Games work great on it, I'm cranking away with my PSX emulator (FPSE) and GTA III runs good, I was originally disappointed it didn't run better but after I reduced the draw distance in the game settings it was good, I think I had too many apps running as well. I installed ATK to take care of that and the phone is much better after I have ATK autorun every hour and clean up background apps.
Battery life I can't tell because I have been using it almost the entire time and it melts through it pretty fast, I'd give it a week of normal day to day use before I really give a verdict on it, I do have the screen at 100% brightness all the time which doesn't help, and I already have an extended battery in the mail. I sync 2 gmail accounts and an exchange account, all in push, and I just leave BT and WIFI on all the time as I like just jumping in the car and it works, or getting home and already being on the wifi.
Overall I give it a 6 out of 10 so far, with CM7 or CM9 and MIUI that would quickly elevate to an 8 out of 10, with all the space inside the phone, the size of the standard battery is disappointing, they could have put one almost twice the size in there if they arranged the sim and microsd slots better.
The biggest problem is that I was really spoiled with the HTC HD2, I'd say 90% of my gripes with the phone are with sense, I find it ugly and clunky and I wish HTC had just left android alone... I don't have an issue with gingerbread, I haven't used ICS yet and I'm in no busting rush. As soon as the ROM community grows up for this phone it will be amazing, until then its kinda meh.

if rooted, you can also go into /system/app/ and rename HTCLockscreen.apk to HTCLockscreen.bak and it will remove the ring lockscreen, and put it back on the old sliding tab lockscreen (froyo/gingerbread stock/aosp lockscreen)

Cool trick. It doesn't break anything? I remember doing something similar on my Desire and I couldn't dismiss alarms (ugh) or answer calls, I'd have to do a battery pull.
(also, I think you need to be rooted to disable the stock lockscreen in WidgetLocker, so maybe it's essentially doing the same thing; alarms/calls work fine on my Vivid with it disabled, so maybe I'm answering my own question)

i did it on my mytouch4g and had problems dismissing alarms, but i got gentle alarm, so i didnt worry about it any more, lol
havent done it on this phone yet
i take that back, i did it, but i didnt run any alarms or test any calls, so i dont know if that is broken or not
Ah yes found it, settings > advanced > disable stock lock.
it warns that this will make any of the physical keys wake the device, I'm cool with that
Yeah, I actually like waking my phone with the volume buttons sometimes, depending on how I end up grabbing it in my jacket pocket. And it's not like they unlock the phone; I have WidgetLocker set to only have a 15-second timeout, overriding the normal display timeout, so I'm not too worried about accidental battery drain.
