OK so.. what exactly can I do with my G1?

I rooted it a while back and updated to Cupcake (1.5), basically so I could tether it to my laptop, and have used it for that since but..
Now I come back, browse the forum and people are talking about new FWs and ROMs, and I want in on it.
I would especially like to be able to store apps on my SD card aswell if anyone can help there.
And could someone post maybe a quick breakdown of any new stuff you can do with a rooted phone that I may not know about.
Thanks a bunch.

OK so basically search these forums for anything you want like "apps2sd" or go to the dream android development section to check out all the latest roms. Looking at all the different threads by yourself will be way more informative then me trying to explain it to you. Have fun .
P.S. Check out the new cyan rom that just came out

Lucky for you I was in your position recently, I saved all the useful links for easier access in the future.
This link is probably the most helpful and will bring you up to speed and have you prepared for pretty much everything thats out now.

I would start with cyan's recovery image first, run down the list till you are on he latest SPL and Radio (Might wanna do a little research before on this, Good brick potential if done wrong). Then I would stop at the part about JacHero, If you want to test that rom. Go ahead, Hero is great but runs slower.
I prefer CyanogenMod. Here's the link to that.
Stable: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537204
"Experimental": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=539744
I quoted that cause it's always ran stable for me. Last thing about apps to sd, If you partition your sdcard and set it up like the tutorial, Cyan's rom will set up apps2sd automatically.
I'd say thats a pretty good start, good luck and welcome back.

I learned something new you can do with your G1. You know that little glass hole on the back of your G1?? Its not a peep hole to look at the inner workings of your phone as I originally thought. That is actually a camera you could take pictures/videos with...

Why do I want the 2.1 Market Fix?
Evening,
What benefits do I gain from getting the 2.1 marketplace fix?
New apps? Better Apps? MORE APPS?!?!!!
I feel as though I should be in eager anticipation of it but I've no clue why?

Post it in the right spot, and I will answer.

From my understanding, The market fix is for users OUT of the USA. It enables them to see all the apps, instead of a limited amount.
Isn't it nice to just get an answer to your question
I guess some people dont mind being on their high horses. Like seriously, its a forum. Get over it.
Next time, just try and post in the right section. Then people wont be so snarky towards you.

Why do you have a holier than thou attitude? I understand you've been mistreated on these forums but you don't need to mistreat those who have done nothing wrong. You do a lot of great work and most people appreciate it even if they can't express it well, this has nothing to do with your dev work, which is excellent. You just come off looking like an asshole when you post things like that. You could have easily answered his question but chose to be condescending. It only makes the situation worse. You can yell at people for not searching or not posting in the right spot all you want but you need to realize that a lot of the people who come here are visiting for the first time and haven't seen all of your complaints of mistakes that almost every newbie makes. Sorry if I offended you somehow, just my views.

A) Wrong market patch is a project I have been working on, has nothing to do with being outside the US. Isn't it nice getting an incorrect answer. It enables a full market on these custom roms, allows you to switch between device specific markets, and maybe some surprises.
B) Forum is flooded, and if people read the rules they would know where to post stuff.
Isn't nice getting the wrong answer from someone who doesn't know what they are speaking of?

2.2 Root Bounty - $20 - Please Sticky - Please Join

I am surprised this doesn't exist yet. I searched and didn't see one specifically for root. So I would like to ask that it be stickied.
I am pledging $10 for a post 2.2 working root. Anyone else want to add? I will keep track here and update the total.
Pledge List:
1. edufur.............. $10
2. mdassad........... $10
Total $20

I'll throw in $10.

That didn't come up in my search.. and IMO, that thread should be shut down since his bounty is one day past expriration. I am not expiring my offer. And I am keeping track of it.

Maybe you should look at what happened to the PRI upgrade bounty in the Development section. I agree with the OP of that thread - bounties should be banned from XDA.

My humble opinion I would have to agree with silver. Bounties tend to cloud the focus of the overall objective and could lead to somewhat shady end results. In this case of froyo root believe me the devs have this as a top priority and bounties are not going to achieve a faster result. It would probably be best if one would donate to them now as it could lighten the load and burden now when it really counts.

This is counterproductive as much as you think your helping. Pretty soon nothing around here is ganna get done without a bounty, and the whole development thread is ganna be slowed to a halt with devs waiting for a bounty before they do any work. Plus Android isnt owned by anyone of us to claim a bounty for developing on, if you wanna make money through it, there are channels like through the market. Donations are for Churches/Charities so what you are basically doing is bribing people to do the work.

That was only one of a few root bounty threads. I personally completely derailed one of them (I'm not proud of myself) trying to make the same points that others have made in this thread, but they were much more eloquent here than I was there. I know its hard to believe, but I was a total ass in that thread.

Ya and what was that? The PRI fix? The whole point of rooting is to achieve the best possible tweak of code that gives us the best possible Android experience overall. The only logical step forward is to root froyo. If nothing more it might contain the ingredients for us to eventually root Gingerbread when we get it. Believe me rooting froyo is a top priority.

The unrevoked twitter feed hinted they were working on it this morning.
"You can expect another face on the wall of phones soon. 2.2 folks: stuff is coming
down the pipeline. Inc folks: use Forever before the OTA!"
http //twitter com/unrevoked/status/21474389447

If you want the unRevoked team to work on this and you want to help them out, then go to their site and donate to the EFF. If you really want to show your support, then donate NOW, not after they then find the hack. Anyone can donate AFTER but only those truly serious will show their support now. So go to their page and show you are serious and show your support.

Exactly. Unrevoked is the only one I've seen even hint towards it. I think, most of the hardcore devs got their device when it came out and have had root since 2.1, aren't willing to loose root and therefor development time for other projects, and probably don't want to spend a few hundred bucks to buy a cold unit out of contract to test with.
My suggestion: all you bounty guys chip in your milk money together, start buying devices and giving them as gifts of gratitude towards your favorite devs. Devs do this for fun on their own time and surely wouldn't mind having their name on the end-all-be-all-2.2-exploit, but probably don't want it bad enough to go blow a few hundred bucks on. My $0.02 anyway...

The whole challenge for a hacker is too hack something that has not been hacked. Pardon me but the last I heard 2.1 was hacked and now the PRI is fixed. Ya I confirmed that much...your welcome. Hackers don't go around babbling about what they are doing until they achieve it then make their mark.

Rom in progress

I have a rom in progress, its gonna be a lot of different things and hopefully I can get it to work .
It will be gingerbread based, something that hasnt really come out yet. A non cm7/miui/vanilla experience.
I do have some questions though so if any better dev then myself can help me out that would be much appreciated.

I'm not a dev but.. i really hope i can see this come into fruition

Haven't you learned by now that it's really lame to post progress or "what I plan to do" threads? If jt or sbrissen did that it would he hacky and they have the work to fall back on
Do yourself a favor and work on whatever you want but keep it to yourself until you have something worthwhile to put out...cuz so far you are about 0 for the century on executing what you plan to do
And if its aosp based don't just rebuild jts vanilla rom with a new theme and call it something else

Ok seriously, I'm always in favor of somebody trying to produce something "new" (key word) for the community. But, your track history in this area commands nothing but ridicule and flaming tbh. Keep working on whatever it is you are working on, but let the next thing you post in the forums be a link to something functional.

The neverending story....

Some of you know me, some don't. I'm more active trough PM then trough posting. But this is something that is bother me for a while and I think a lot of us.
And it can't be done trough PM, believe me, i have tried....
We all (if we are fair) know that the x10 is old mobile. And the most of us don't use a mobile longer than 2 years. So why o why read I so many post of people that are complaining about a update from a dev. Let them move on and give new dev's a chance
My personal top 3 irritations!!!!!
1) if you can't do it yourself, be grateful for everything they do for us and don't complain!!!
2) if we (the users) get a new mobile, how many people still stick to the x10 treads? So why expect a lot of people that the dev's must stick to the X10 forum and development further!!!
3) if a dev don't post for a while, don't post non related post in a DEVELOPMENT TREAD and complain about a update!!!
I have talk with a lot of members trough a personal message and told them about the post they have placed. But I think its a neverending story.
I think when the Mods are more harsher and give quicker a warning and ban people, then maybe people think twice what they post. I know that the mods help xda in their spare time and do all they can. But when you make a couple statements, the word get spread and maybe maybe this will work!
thanks for listening to my complaint

Even though i bought a Galaxy Note, i still read the first page of the General/Dev/Q&A section of the X10 forum daily.
You are right about people complaining to developers for updates, but that's just the way it is. It doesn't have to disturb you, or anyone. Most people ignore these types of begging posts anyway.
My experience in forums showed that having strict moderation won't do a thing. It will only lead to more drama. I know you feel you have to do something about this, but believe me its better if you relax and don't do anything at all. The mods know their job and doing the best they can. Talking to individuals via PM's and trying to explain why they shouldn't do this and that is not only time consuming, but as you can see, it lead you being frustrated enough to start this thread.
This thread will be read by (lets say) 1000, will be replied by 10-20, some may agree, some may not. It then will crawl it's way on the bottom of the page until a similar thread pops up. (There, just saved you some time )
Bottom line is, it's the interwebz. Don't get too attached.

But he is right though

Unfortunately, you are right. People feel its a right they possess to get the developer to work non stop for them. Things in the x10 forums are still relatively mild though... In the atrix forum, the CM7 thread had to be closed for a period of time due to people complaining and demanding for fixes. And the "thx" posts. Here's a classic example

I like the x10 forums, things are usually more peaceful and people more helpful here.

lol, before this thread gets closed i would love to point out that we have had our moments here, we can mix it with the big boys
I have given up with my classic posts of
1. use search next time
2. rule number 1 is not to ask for an eta
3. read the OP
4. why dont you make a backup and try it yourself
its just not worth the ware and tear of my keyboard to make them anymore....
but, we were all noobs once, a bit of tolerance is should be given

im totally agree with you,but hey,you cant fight fire with fire,that just leads to your "never ending story"

Hi,
This is my defense, take this thread in the X10 forum...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356580
I have just counted 93 posts deleted by moderators and with the warnings posted, about a dozen took vacations for ignoring the developer and moderators warning of being a Dev only thread. Just because you do not see warnings posted everywhere does not mean nothing is being done, most problems can be sorted out using the new infraction system, we use that all the time now, it is easy to use and straight to the point.
This type of thread cleaning and response is happening all the time, reported posts are dealt with much faster and if anybody needs banning, senior mods are available on gtalk to sort it out immediately.

You harsh, Nah. (I do however get the feeling it was you that closed my first thread posted here.) But having an Avatar that is a Happy Face , with a "Heidelberg Scar" doesn't really convoy a feeling of warm, fuzzy comfort to people. More like good mod / bad mod and Colossus= good mod; he even warns people in a very nice polite way. But temporarily freezing threads seems to be doing a great job of allowing the tensions to diffuse. Kudos for that.
