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.
SO i just downloaded android 1.5 on my phone, but when i get texts, it does not notify me. i'm gonna be completely honest, i'm beyond a noob with this stuff, and i'm quite surprised i figured this out lol but i did. so, is there anyway i can fix this? or should i download a new version? and what about 1.6? is that better? i did the SD card method if that helps. Thanks Guys!

Try Myn's warm donut 1.6. The 1.5 (cupcake) your trying is way outdated.

Also you have to enable notifications in the texting app.. You do that by hitting the power button on the top of the phone to bring up the settings and go to the bottom of the settings to enable the notifications.

Hmm.. i thought i did that.. but that still wouldnt explain the not recieving.. idk.. i might try to switch to 1.6 if i can find the right files!
So I am running fresh, and I love it, 2.1 is awesome, but I can't stand the keyboard lag. Turning off optic doesn't help me that much and everything else is off. So my question is, dies anybody have tips for me to speed my phone up? Short of course of overclocking my phone? Also I love and use sense. Thanks in advance!

Some people will say use swype, some will say they don't have lag, some will say no matter what you do there will be lag, some will say "Why didn't you do a search for this"
Do a search in the forum and you will find plenty of threads with possible solutions.
I get very little lag.
Download auto killer, set it to the most aggressive setting and try it out. You can always adjust it from there.
Keeping free memory up helps a ton.

i know this is just a suggestion and ull get a ton of these but im using the original aosp keyboard with no voice to text or anything and get next to no lag. i think its the voice to text that is messing everything up. do a searcvh and find it and try it
i have found a solution to everyones problems, try this keyboard out in the market called thickbuttons it doesnt lag at all and its freakin sick
Yeah I've done the searches and tried all the fixes/ suggestions. I will try the thinkbuttons thing, but I don't like swype. Anyways, I'll look into enabling JIT on fresh, I haven't done that since I was on Darchdroid. Thanks alot! Any other tips for speeding things up? Does a2sd speed the phone up?

Only if you're SDcard is faster then the phones ROM, in which case it will make loading them faster.

on that note i have a question...How can i remove my app2sd, till i get a better chip? my hero was flying till i installed it on my stock chip. Now i need to undo, so what reformat? got to b an easier way??
I think you can make an EXT backup, but I'm not sure how to do it short of manually taking everything from /system/sd/app and moving it to /data/app

Hit up Damagecontrol 2.08.1, he included a new lighter keyboard that doesn't lag anywhere near as bad, the only real problem is the fact that the vibration feedback is sometimes messy, but I just turned it off. Otherwise it types like a dream.
Also, Damageless is customizing that latest 2.1 leak that came from Sprint, and in 2.08.1 there's DCUpdater, which allows you to update directly from the phone itself without a complete wipe. I strongly recommend it, it's got what you're looking for and more.

Sorry bro, but thick buttons has such a terrible learning curve. If you stare while typing, sure it works. But if you type faster than you can process what key gets larger, it isn't for you.
Do you have lag anytime you use the keyboard, or just when sending texts?
I know I had bad lag with the stock KB and the HTC MMS app.. but I have since switched over to the AOSP Mms.apk, and I have no lag in it at all.
Sorry to budge in, but I have had the same problem for a while now, I love the layout and prediction of the HTC keyboard (XDA) but the lag is annoying. For a while I used the AOSP mms.apk and all was well, but I couldn't send pic messages, let alone view them.
Is there a way to get around that and still have AOSP?

I use the AOSP Mms.apk on RegawMOD. Works just fine. Try repushing?
It hasnt been re-released yet, but I love TouchPal. You can still find the apk on rapidshare or hit me up and I can send it to you. You can turn off haptic feedback and make it scream and it has all the functionality of the HTC keyboard and then some.

Load up Zen's latest ROM - I kid you not - any questions?
I finally have no lag. I have no lag period even when I run pandora. I run purehero with the regular htc.ime. that was one of my main goals in finding a faster rom.

As long as you are using it on a low res screen like the hero, the attached apk should work. If you need it for something higher res like the droid, I think I have the APK at home. There are a lot of settings for this, so play around until you find a set that works. I suggest turning of the haptic feedback because that seems to slow down all keyboards on the hero.
Can we delete the included htc messaging app and push the stock android apk?
yes yesyesyesyesyes
that sounds fantastic! good news.
do you know where I can get it?
thank you thank you
edit: I'm referencing sms messages.
trying searching "android keyboard"...
well I don't want the android keyboard, I want to remove the sms messages client, not the IM. to be clear.
ill search around where can I find the vanilla sms app? thank you thank you

nice. thanks. gonna use this for a bit and see how i feel about it.
thank you
id like a vanilla 2.1 for this thing. waiting on an official port of 2.2 hopefully from a similar device with sense. or an official(as close as possible)to vanilla 2.2
often times when I attach a picture, I get an fc. is there a fix for this, the fc's?
I'm using Koush's CM9 Alpha 12 ROM at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356228 with the Franco kernel, and I'm saddened that it's sorely missing one big feature that i'm used to in the NSCollab ROM i came from. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959282)
In the stock Android 2.3.3 that came with the phone, if the Facebook app was installed, it could sync contacts over from your account, including phone numbers, emails, and pictures. The OTA 2.3.4 removed that function, as Google had deemed it as a violation of their TOS.
NSCollab (based off of CM7), which i'd used since 2.3.5, enabled that function somewhere in the system files, and it was fully usable, no questions asked. The CM9 build i'm using, however, lacks that feature.
I've compared both of their build.prop files and don't see any differences that would stand out, and I'm at an impasse here. I'm almost determined to find the setting in the CM7 ROM that allows Facebook syncing on this device and be able to use it in CM9. I'm not sure i want to comb every system file, though. Any assistance?
The reason it works in custom ROMs is because they patch it to work. It's not a build.prop issue I do not believe. It is a bit deeper than that. Hopefully someone can she some light to get it working. It's a feature I use as well.
But that's the explanation "why" it does not work.. because it's not supposed to by design lol.
by no means do I have an answer but, syncmypix in the market is a decent alternative for the tome being.

I'd determined that long ago, but i'm almost certain there's a flag somewhere in the system files. My cousin has an HTC Thunderbolt (horrible phone on the stock ROM) running the stock ROM, Gingerbread 2.3.5, and it's enabled on it. I know that Google specifically disabled it on their flagship phones, and i want to know how they did it and how to reverse it.

I have tried Syncmypix, Friendcaster, and another one that tries to re-enable native syncing, but none of them work near as well as native syncing.
In GB it was in system\app\ContactsProvider.apk , one line need to be added which whitelists com.facebook.katana. Maybe it's the same in ICS.
[edit]
There, I looked it up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978470
Here you can find the official statement from Google about Facebook sync:
http://www.androidguys.com/2011/02/23/google-drops-facebook-sync-nexus/
Anyway you can sync your contacts using Friendcaster and you can update your contact pics using syncmypix

I'd considered that, even set up a decompiling environment, but never got around to trying it. Just tried it, and found out that comparing the two ContactsProvider.apk files (from CM7 and CM9), that ICS does not use the arrays.xml that Gingerbread did. Adding it in, recompiling it, and signing it results in FC's and wiping out your contacts storage. Thank god for Titanium backup.
Edit: Derp, found out system apps aren't supposed to be signed. Trying again.

I well know what Google did, and i'm very disappointed in them. And i'd rather not use third-party apps if we can enable native syncing at the system level.
Pushing the unsigned apk doesn't cause FC issues, but it still doesn't sync. The Facebook app cuts off at "Other Settings". Does anyone want to test out the apk for me, see if they get the same results?
The APIs are different in ICS and doing the white list trick may not work. Check out the smali folder because there could be stuff that needs to be changed in there too...

I've already tried this. You'll be able to get the account to sync in Accounts, but the new contacts app is substantially different from the Gingerbread one... Like ^ says, I think a few smali edits have to be made to include this properly.
Greetz
I'm combing the smali folder as we speak, but nothing stands out as a definitive match
The one problem about ics, you're working to fix. Thanks man! I hope you find your answer!
Haven't found it yet, though. I've been trying to get into contact with koush, see if he's had any insight.
MoDaCo got it working on the Galaxy Nexus. If anyone has the galaxy yet, you could upload his rom and them comb through the /system and see what has been changed. we could then possibly implement it for the Galaxy S as well.

Awesome, good looking out. Downloading it now, i'll be combing the files right away. You don't need to have the actual phone to peek at the system files
But unfortunately, it seems that it is a premium feature.

You can download it. I did earlier. Look at the first post of the thread its there.
The premium stuff is like to cook your own. I'm sure the standard one available in the first post has it implemented.
