Hi all,
Just wondering if it would be possible to install Android Go on the TMobile G1 just for the fun of it. I still have the phone in a perfectly working condition and brings back a lot of memories as you can imagine.
Thanks,
-Gus
the dream has armv6, lollipop and up don't support it.

Hello all. This phone mainly got my attention because i read up that it can run android OS.
I am currently using a tmobile g1. the only reason i'm giving it up because tmobile won't let me use my cheap data plan with it. They want me to upgrade to an expensive one. (I had t-zones unlimited working on iphone for awhile)
So i decided to look into an at&t phone and hope that it can be unlocked and i can set up my t-zones internet on it as i did on the iphone (also from at&t)
Here are my questions:
1) Is it easy to unlock the htc tilt? Or do i get it unlocked from someone else?
2) Once loaded, does Android os have all its features on the HTC tilt?
3) Will I be able to set up EDGE with tmobile WHILE on android? (and will it work? lol)
Thanks everyone, i really appreciate ur help guys

Wow.
This is so silly on so many levels, but the overriding thing is this.. Android on the Tilt is a cute hack. No more than that. You gotta boot WM first, then Android. You have to kludge around to get voice and/or data to work in Android. It's not as stable as Android is natively. Some of the hardware doesn't work....
just.. no...
Yes, here's what I used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375583
http://www.androidonhtc.com/kaiser/port_status, the camera is the only piece of hardware that isn't working at all, most others have partial or full capability. Wi-Fi is still experimental, and GPS is kind of tempermental.
Yes, once SIM unlocked, you should be able to set up and use APN's through config.txt/startup.txt, and Android itself.
However, keep in mind that Android is still not fully functional or stable, and you must boot Windows Mobile in order to run the Android bootloader. Android is still kind of beta, and may stay that way for a while. I don't currently think I could run Android full time on my device without any issues. So that's some stuff you need to think about before you buy a Kaiser just for running Android. In your situation, I personally wouldn't.

Yes, it is easy to unlock...
And jsut stick with WM, it just works better right now

I thought your response to his question was pretty silly..its a hack like u said so of course it isnt going to work with flying colors just yet..though im sure it's much better than you picture in your head. There even more advantages of booting from SD card we can run the hero rom nearly as much as hero itself. Plus more androids phone will support our qvga screen in the future.
Well i dont really like winmobile, maybe cuz i'v never really used it. i always thought it was for business ppl. anyway, thanks for ur help. can anyone recommend another phone?

Dude, at some point you are going to have to bite the bullet, so to speak. With the increased capabilities of the phones to download greater amouts of info faster and faster, the carrier companies are going to charge or structure their data packages according to the amount of data you access as opposed to the time you spend " online ".
If you like android , then you need to stick with a phone the runs it natively, like your G1. To want to get rid of your G1, to buy a non android phone and then hack android on to it, is kind of " silly " despite what ajclai08 says and how " cool " it is to run Android on a phone that is not meant to run it.
You can spend the next month trying to fudge the phone you want with the OS you want , with a data package that violates your carrier's TOS, but in the end it " is " going to cost you and why be stuck with a phone and OS that you are unhappy with.
Has anybody started development of the PS3 jailbreak hack yet? htc t-mobie G1 has got same chipsets and has been used for the hack.
anybody got any ideas?
My line of thought was to use the android port on the touch pro to get same functionallity but it does not boot with the available g1 hacks.
i've started looking at it, going for android room way that is, should possibly be the easyest way to go aswell. since most is already "fixed" by other dev's ^^
will post back IF and mostly if i do figgure anything out ^_^.
(note: i have NEVER EVER coded or done anything like this. but i am a nerd and will do what i can )
ps3 with broken bd-rom old and dusty but worth a try!
Hi All
Its good to be on here and I hope that this thread is in the right place. I wanted to thank everyone for all that I gained from reading the forums so far.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S with 8gb on board and a 16gb media card I put in on T-Mobile UK running Eclair 2.1.+samsung software
Here are my questions:
I gather from the forums, that the GPS on the Galaxy either works for people or is doesnt? I want to check whether I have a 'lucky' handset or not, as if i dont I will send it back (had it 3 days) and get a new one that does. How do I do this?
GPS being well, what I want to do, is to optimise the speed, general performance and aesthetic of my phone. Also, I want to newtwok unlock the phone from T-mobile to potentially all carriers.
I want to install a Froyo. Eiether a custom Froyo as the OS (which one is most stable? Or what are the best ones out there at the moment?) or is it worth waiting for over the air or Kies 'official' Samunsg Froyo update from T-mobile?
If I go for the custom ROM, what order should I do this? What about 3 button recovery?
Do I need to root first?
Another couple of questions:
Once this is on board I want to add some UI enhancement and or theme, any recommendations?
Thanking you in advance for your input

Hi, I'm going to buy a Samsung Captivate unlock coz I'm using T-Mobile right now. But before buying it I have some questions to make sure that I'm not gonna regret of buying it.
1. What's version of Android it running ? I know it comes out with 2.1 but somebody said that It already updates to Froyo.
2. Will it be upgraded to Froyo or Gingerbread ? and can I get that update officially with my phone unlocked ?
3. I heard that AT&T restricted the Market and some Apps, so what's exactly that restriction about and can I get rid of that ?
4. Is there any custom ROM for this phone and what's the best ?
I really love the design of this phone and the spec is really good too but I also afraid of the AT&T restriction and the phone's OS won't be upgraded. There is noway I buy a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S coz it looks like the iPhone 3GS's clone .

1. 2.1 comes stock, and that's all that is available officially.
2. Maybe, we hope to get something. If so, you should be able to get it.
3. Yes, there are market restrictions. Go to Captivate, Android Dev sections and there's lots of custom tools for removing restrictions, along with lots of custom ROM's, ie, Phoenix, Cog, Darky, Doc's, etc.
4. See above. I personally like all that I have tried, so I usually flash a few times a week.
You really want a captivate over a nexus s or g2? They're probably better phones.
Yes, like I said I love the design of the Captivate. The Nexus S doesn't use the Gorilla Glass Display that is a negative point make me don't like it. Btw, when I use a new custom ROM, I don't need to unlock my phone again, do I ?
you do realize that when you use a captivate on tmobile, you dont get 3g?
Personally i would jump ALL over the nexus S. Its the captivate on steroids. But DO stay away from the G2....as far as i know its dead past 2.2 because it doesnt have the prerequesites for 2.3 and higher (1ghz processor)

Thanks, I know that, currently I don't use 3G. I'm gonna make a new contract plan next month and I'm gonna get the Dell Venue because I love Windows Phone. However, I love to play with Android too that's why I wanna get one Android phone and I see that the Captivate has a really good design.
Ok folks,
As I still use my Kaiser as my daily work phone I have decided to flash Android on to it instead of messy around on it as a haret/sd installation(been awhile since I did though)... Didn't really want to flash it but as wm6.5 and alot of apps are nolonger being updated or don't work I have little choice any longer.... So my question is this...Which Android version ported to Kaiser has all hardware working and is stable to use? which one has ext2 working(sd partition) and even app2sd in other words which one is as near as damn it like having a true android phone???
regards
lohtse
come on folks.... offer a little advise!!!!
why not just get an android device? even if you buy an used one on craigslist i bet you'll be alot happier then this
Yep already have android phone(look at sig) but work phone is a kaiser and is perfectly servicable.Even have 5 batteries for when am away etc... just getting tired of apps failing on wm6.5 and as only reason not flashed android was there was no memory map mapping app but now there is... just need a rom that has all hardwear working..and would be happy...
I haven't had this phone in so long. I'm surprised android is portable to it
