because its easier to download stuff to the phone such as a new rom directly if you are not near a pc
and viruses? wow people really buy into the scanning the archive before putting onto the phone?

is it possible to switch thems and roms without connecting to computer?

Hi guys,
I was wondering if it's possible to switch between roms and themes with gonnecting to the computer? I was thinking that I could download the different themes and roms I wanted to my sdcard and use astro or something similar to rename the one I want as update then do the power of and home+end boot and install update file. I'm not at home right now to download the roms &themes to try this, but I was wondering if anyone else has?
Thanks

How do you save the zip files to your sd? When you click on the link and download, does it save straight to sd?

Okay... well I don't have an external hd
Did W3C approve the <sarcasm> tag?
LMFAO!
dude, on second thought, how bad ass could that be if we could reverse engineer the usb controller and actually mount something like that? that would be kinda sick looking...."so im running my website off of my G1 and this WD 500GB HD i got the other day from ebay......"
alcohol makes you think of some funny sh*t...
This thread can definitely be closed.

I think you mean your MicroSD card hahaha, at the moment I don't think it is possible to hook up an external hard drive to your G1.
ASTRO allows you to download any file. So does download crutch once you have it on your phone.
i just use ftp on my phone... works best for me
According to the Qualcomm pdf about the g1 it does suppoert usb host mode, there just isn't software support for it. G1 well supports video out via usb as well. The leaked pdf has been removed from the host sites, under copyright law , so please don't ask for it.
The only one i've noticed that will let me move files though is oi file manager. So just create a folder on your external hd and just move the files and rename update... There how hard is that no computer needed
I switch ROMS and Themes if I wanted to on the mobile quite easily. Use GScript and basically organise your SD Card. For example I have a folder called "os" and inside that I have folders for Dude, Haykuro, Cyanogen etc and inside those folders are the latest releases renamed as update.zip.
Same for themes, have a folder called "Themes" and then folders with the name, such as Hero, Android Plus etc with the update.zip's inside.
Using GScript you would then make a script telling the phone to copy the relevant update.zip you want into memory and flash it - All from the touch of the screen.

Look for the yamato_panel.txt thats in your windows directory, open it and delete all text thats in it save it, and restart your device and try landscape mode again, this will enable 2d accelaration in landscape mode.
btw:this was found by tsmasmolotof.
It works. Thank you very much!

Download resco explorer or Total commander, and edited it using any of these file managers and you will be able to edit the yamato_panel.txt
ive downloaded both and still cant change it ... do i need a custome rom? can you tell me step by step what i need to do please
ok, i tryed so many ways now and i cant change it ...
do i need to do that when im in recovery mode (the one for flashing rom)
or
do i need to open the file with an special program (not word or resco)???
thank you it works fine
@gmbhneo
make to your pc an empty txt file named it yamato_panel.txt and copy it with resco explorer in windows folder

First download yamato_panel.txt from Xda. then copy the file to sdcard. Execute Resco Explorer, go to your sdcard directory an select the file "move to" My device (Resco can do it, Windows mobile cant do it).

Solved, the file is located at the root "\" and not under the \Windows directory. However, I am wondering if this has any side-effects??
Great!, i deleted the line in it and now my acer in landscape is better than before

I just downloaded a picture from an email
I went to /sdcard/download and there it was.
Something weird must be happening on your phone then.

are you actually downloading the file or just clicking on preview from the email apk
Attachments are not downloaded until you hit download. The they will go to sd/download/.

Clicking preview ! < open button >
I see the little droid with da clip ! I click on open , I don't see any "download" option in the menu .
So... I asume it's already downloaded ! but not where you all say guys !
edit : I changed from built-in to k9mail .. and now is working fine .. they are saved at /sdcard (root)
Thank You all for the help , maybe YES ... something is wrong with my built-in mail !

Clicking Preview doesn't download.
Also, I think only certain files can be downloaded.
I just tested with a .RAR file attached to an email and there was no Preview button and no Download button.
With a jpg attached, there were both buttons.
It's probably a security feature, so you can only download certain file types...

Yeah , must be that ... ( I sent to myself an .apk file )
Mystery Solved then !
Thanx again Paul ! and all of you guys !
anytime... FWIW, you can just change the extension to .jpg or .txt and you should be able to download it then. once you have it downloaded just change the extension back to .apk or .zip
actually... not too sure if you can change extension file types on the phone...

Good idea !
I had this problem .. found some apps ( .apk ) and wanted to install them ..
BUT .... I forgot the usb cable @ home ... so decided to email them , and then I had the second problem .. where da fu... are the "downloaded" files ???
So... I found the websharing app .. OMG .. what a great tool "online SDcard" using wifi ( maybe I'll buy the app to have full features )
And got the job done ! Files @ my SDcard ..
Finally .. I tried to replicate the same email problem using K9Mail ... but I did get the "save" option
That s the whole Tale !

hi!
is there a way to get stuff (apps and games) from android market by downloading to PC and then put it on sdcard?
i don't want to use every time the mobile internet for this
thanks a lot!
why dont you use a backup app like mybackup root or titanium backup?
and used for what?
i want to download stuff from market into the PC and then put it on the sdcard....
not doing a backup...

oh you mean you want to download the filename.apk and install it yourself right?
by using titanium backup,it works very much like.You can install every application that you backup one by one same as you do with the apk files but the downside is you still dont have the .apk files.
you woudl have to save the apk files to your pc fromthe phone, you cannot download from the market directly to your pc
