First - I've searched, searched and searched for my particular circumstances, so if this is the wrong place for my questions I apologize in advance. (I've seen all the warnings, in so many posts - honestly! It's kept me searching and not posting for weeks.)
I bought a G1 off eBay (no tmobile in my area); it wasn't unlocked so I bought an unlock code. So far, so good. But it took forever researching how to get my particular obscure carrier settings into the APN (Iowa Wireless) and I couldn't bypass and use wifi because it wouldn't reboot (no root workaround). So then, I flashed to the 29 rom. I had lots of problems with adb but finally found a Windows XP machine that it would work on and managed to get my phone working. I had to enter some command line intent commands (that I don't have here at work) but it's been a long complicated road. I'm not even sure I could duplicate any of it.
So now I have a G1 phone that can't get paid apps, which stinks (and yes, I installed the Market Enabler app). It isn't a developer phone. The details:
Firmware 1.0
Baseband version: 62.33.20.08H_1.22.12.29
Kernel: 2.6.25-01843-gfea26b0 [email protected] #6
Build Number: kila-user 1.0 TC4-RC29 115247 ota-rel-keys.release-keys
I desperately need ebook reading capability, so without paid apps I'm up a creek. The web browser won't even open local files that I can tell and when I click on an html file it opens in a viewer that never displays my files, which tend to have lots of javascript and css. And we won't even talk about chm files and pdb/prc compiled ebooks. Is there a rom that will get me access to the Market so I can buy a couple of readers?
When I got the G1, I was thinking that an HTC phone would be the successor to the hackable Motorola phones (I used to have an A780). But in a way, this forum is too much of a good thing. There are so many roms, bootloaders and some kind of radio thing that I'm kinda scared to mess with. So, that's my next question - is there some kind of table where I can see comparisons on which roms do what and what files go together? I'm piecing things from posts and I keep getting lost.
And for my next question - if I do get up enough nerve to get install a non-standard rom, will my unlock code still work if everything gets wiped?
Lastly, and I know this is sensitive because it is an Android community - I found a few tantalizing posts while researching all my issues that hinted that maybe someone might be working on a non-Android solution. I don't know if was OpenMoko or something like that but seriously, I would jump at the opportunity to have an accessible Linux system.
As awesome as the G1 is (and the bar code thing was my killer app) it's a lot of hassle for a working mother and grandmother. I have 7 and 9 year old kids to hang out with instead of muttering "Frak this" after the tenth or twentieth rewording of the google search terms.
Thanks for letting me get this out of my system. I'm reading deprived and starting to reevaluate my old Shadow sitting on the shelf.

Being the nice guy I am, this is a database listed under the Developer's section under INFORMATIVE THREADS (lots of goodies under there): http://www.simonwalkerphotos.com/android/android_build_information.asp
it lists the features of each ROM in the forums all neatly organized. =)
For your other question: the unlock code works perfectly fine after several wipes, its permanent. I unlocked my phone (from T-Mobile) and have gone through at least 8 ROMs and the unlock still works. With these new ROMs, you get developer capabilities and should be able to download that reader you're after.
Just take your time and don't rush things and you'll be fine. A piece of cake really.
Thanks. Your link is exactly what I needed. I know I missed it, whether it's because it's 11th on the list and my eyes were so glazed over, or I was hung up on getting root (the main thread for root on that page didn't work for me - the mount commands) or that I kinda expected it to be down in the actual ROM section.
I know this isn't about the ROM list but it's so frustrating to have threads marked but not work, and the solutions are often way down in the comment thread. That makes it so hard to get anywhere. I hope I don't sound too ungrateful, especially since I wanted the G1 because of the community support. It's just been way more work than I expected from previous experiences with other phones and pdas.
Well, I looked through the spreadsheet and I think I'm going to try out CyanogenMod v3.4.6 (Stable). Now I just need to set aside some time to gather everything together. (I'm learning...)
Thanks again,
Terry
No worries, we all gotta start somewhere. Once you have root, its pretty much just a straight ROM flash from there, depending on whether the ROM you've chosen needs the new Haykuro SPL or just HardSPL. With Haykuro SPL, there's really only 2 extra steps and you can just straight flash ROMs from there. Just be careful if you're flashing the Haykuro SPL because if you do it incorrectly, you'll brick you're phone. But don't be too scared, if you did everything correctly, there shouldn't be any reason why it won't work.
I had no trouble with the HardSPL, the radio update, the pimped out recovery image but the actual CyanogenMod almost gave me a heart attack. I applied the update.zip and rebooted, and it hung on a cool animated android screen (after the G1 splash). I took the battery out, wiped the phone (which I forgot to do the first time) and tried it again. Same results. I took the battery out again and applied the update.zip and the 3rd time it actually booted.
My previously installed programs were still there, so I'm not quite sure what happened but I'm not going to question it any further. ;-)
Thanks again for the little bit of hand holding.
Terry (proud owner of 8 paid apps and still looking...)
Good luck. If you use Apps2SD, after you re-apps2sd after a flash/wipe, it will take a very long time to boot and you might think that it has frozen, but in reality, its just loading all the apps over again so it could take up to 10min. But glad you got it working regardless. Have fun.
Wow, talk about confusing, the A7 is a whole new world to me.
I've had computers for years, currently I have two running XP & 7, plus I have two laptops running XP & 7. I understand a lot when it comes to computers, but the A7 is so different.
I've downloaded & printed the User Manual and I have read it several times. I've read numerous posts on this forum and now I'm confused. I feel so dumb. Too many words that I don't understand. I want to learn everything I can about running every aspect of this tablet, but it's like just as I learn one thing, the next time it doesn't work that way.
I need more reading material. Whether it be links to posts, books to read, anything to help me understand what I am doing. I make notes of things I have read so that I will remember what to do next time. Post something to help me, PM me or even email me.
I will be so greatfull for any help given.
Thank you
The user manual you can download on elocity's site is useless because there is a lot of things that were never edited out to match the actual release version of the tablet.
As far as computer knowledge and relating it to the a7 or android in general, windows knowledge will not get you very far. A good working knowledge of Unix/Linux will give you a much better idea of what's going on behind the scenes since android is based on Linux (loosely, in my opinion) but still functions very similarly.
If you have any programming or web design experience, I would recommend downloading the android sdk and do some playing around with simple programs. Also with the sdk you can make a virtual android device to monkey around with without fear of messing up your new $300 toy I use eclipse as my development environment in Linux, not sure what a good windows alternative would be, but the structure of an android app is pretty easy to follow. There are example programs and source available on the android developer site developer.android.com if I remember correctly (same place to get the sdk). And the language itself tends to be pretty similar to writing a Java app.
I've probably missed the mark completely on the information you were trying to find, but if you are anything like me, you'll find hours (years if it gets you going down the Linux/Unix path lol) of obsession with just this info.
Hopefully it gets you on the opensource band wagon (the reason I love Linux/Android)
Wow...where to start? Well, you got that you turn it on and slide the lock to the dot to unlock. Then you are in a "home page". There are 5 of them. there are dots at the top of the screen showing which home page ur on. Usually the center one. Touch the screen and slide one way or the other to move the home pages.
If you touch the square whitish pad at the right of the screen with a bunch of darker squares in it, it takes you to your apps - the programs that do what you want.
If you touch an app it runs. Touch the return arrow just to the right of the screen to close the app and go back. It always takes u back.
You have to "root" the machine to get the good apps. Usually with Dexters mod. This is easy. You download the file, rename it to upgrade.zip, place it on a micro SD card, and go to settings/About Device/System Updates/ then touch update device.
The home button at the right side of the screen always takes you to the center home page. - It DOES NOT close the app you have open at the moment.
you should get an app closer to close all of the un-closed apps for you.
Oh yea, android market place is the app you want to add all of the apps you want.
You get it with Dexters Mod (4.1 right now)
and there is tons more...............
Based on Linux ... now I understand why this is confusing to me. I've never worked with it before, but I understand from fellow users, they like it better than Windows OS.
I've never done any programming or web design, but maybe it's not too late to learn something new.
I thank both of you for your info and appreciate everything you have said.
mrpete2u I really appreciated the details of your instructions. I know I'm a dummy at this, and I'm sure there are more of you guys out there to help.
Thanks

Another newbie jumping in....and trying to figure this out. To "root" the machine do I need to update the firmware from the elocity site or can I jump to Dexters right away. If so, where do I find that?
Thanks for your advice.
your a7 is rooted already with dexters mod or elocity firmware.
My Kernel version is 2.6.32.9-svn2514
[email protected]#1
And Build # PBJ8000.2.0124
And ECv is 0.14
Would you mind explaining what these numbers mean, please?
Thank you

look here for Dexter mod forget about the stock rom ....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890042
I have now updated to 2.0.0133
Now I need to figure out how to get the market icon so I can start looking for more apps & games. Tried downloading earlier and it keeps telling me that I have downloaded to my phone? I don't have a fancy phone to download to.
Here I am again confused, but what's new about that!!
There is a thread in the device section on adding market to stock rom.
Or you could just run elocitymod by Dexter.
I did run the elocity mod 1.41 and my firmware was updated to 2.0.0133
When I am on market.android's site, they want my phone number so they can download the app to my phone.
I'm trying to download the app to my tablet.
Am I confused or what
Thanks for answering me.

Yes, yes you are lol
For all intents and purposes (as far as Google is concerned at least) your tablet is a phone.
Install market enabler on the a7 and fake a cell provider. The a7 should show up on the Google market website after that.
You didn't install dextermod and then apply eLocity update over it did you? Just want to be sure.
Your laughing at me .... that's ok ... right now I'm so new at this, I really don't care, in fact I am laughing at myself for being so dumb.
I went to dexter's site and downloaded a file called elocitymod1.41 and renamed it to update.zip and that is what I installed.
OK I will install market enabler
Thank you again for helping this dummy .... LOL
From the perceived tone of the post prior to my last one, I thought you were already at the laughing stage. I thought I was just laughing along, sorry for the mix up.
Sounds like you are doing everything right. I just wanted to make sure that we were dealing with a clean install of elocitymod, and not something mixed together by trying to ally another update on top of it.
Needless to say ... I am still confused.
Installed the market enabler, but I am not getting anywhere.
Why I try to install an app I get a message telling me there is no phone attached to this account and they want me to log in with another account. When I try creating a new account, there is no place to give a phone number and I get all those stupid messages again.
Just wondering if I am too dumb, because you all make this seem so easy, that maybe I should give up and figure out other ways to get apps and leave the android market site alone???
Sorry if I have frustration in my voice, but I guess I thought this would be easier.

Why not just use market from the tablet? I wouldn't stress so much about trying to get it to work and remotely install from the web site.
Each time I go to the site, I am on my tablet. Mainly because it has a direct install button and not a download, so I want to be on the tablet to install on it.

So are you hitting the Market icon (opening the Market app) or are you trying to open http://market.android.com/ in the web browser?
I'm using twa_priv's Jelly Bean ROM with SGT7 enhancements on my (first-generation) Kindle Fire, and wanted to install and use WhatsApp on this device.
Not having an Android phone, I found that the instructions here worked well: use Bluestacks on my PC to help get the needed code to install and start up WhatsApp. But when I actually tried to enter a chat on WhatsApp, the application kept crashing.
After seeing that someone else was having the same problem, and looking through the logcat.txt, I figured out that the crash has something to do with a bitmap/image operation in WhatsApp. That led me to a workaround, and now I can use WhatsApp on my Kindle Fire running CM10.
The relevant setting is found in Settings -> Chat preferences -> Wallpaper. I simply set it to "No wallpaper" (it's the conversation, not the background, that matters to me!). But I found it also works if I choose an image somewhere in my filesystem ("Android System"); selecting "WhatsApp" prompts me to download the WhatsApp Wallpaper package, which I don't really care to do. Just don't set it to "Default" -- that's what leads to the app crashing.
This workaround works using WhatsApp Messenger 2.8.4930. Hope this helps others!
Update for WhatsApp 2.9.2871
With the latest version of WhatsApp as of this writing (2.9.2871) running on twa_priv's version of the CM10.1 port, I no longer have to set the chat wallpaper to "No wallpaper" to avoid a crash when entering chats. I'm not sure whether it's because of a fix in CM10.1 or in WhatsApp, but that's one less workaround needed. Hurray!

I have recently bought a kindle fire and was hoping to use whatsapp on it. I was pleased to find the recent messages re this, however I am a middle-aged grandmother and I'm sorry but they may just as well be written in an alien language from another planet! Is there any way instructions can be given to me that I could easily follow? Thank you for any help.
you can use Whatsapp if you are willing to use a custom ROM...

Before I attempt to do so, I'd have to first ask some preliminary questions:
1. Which version of the Kindle Fire are you using? My instructions were based on my experiences on the first generation Kindle Fire, so if you have something different, then I'm not 100% sure this will work for you.
2. Are you running the default software/firmware for the Kindle Fire?
3. If so, are you willing to install a custom firmware (like the various kinds being discussed on these forums), or would you prefer to stick with the default firmware? Installing a custom firmware ("flashing a custom ROM") is not for the technologically faint of heart, even though it's in practical terms not that difficult.
I'm not sure if my instructions will work with the default ("stock") firmware on any version of the Kindle Fire. But depending on your answers, I might still be able to offer some pointers...

Thank you,
1. How can I find this out? I've looked on the box and the two small leaflets that came with it and all I can see is Model Number D01400? I have literally just bought it.
2. I presume I am running the default/firmware as I haven't made any changes or downloaded anything - would you agree?
3. I'm willing to give anything a go - as long as I can understand what I am supposed to be doing and also as long as it is not going to cause any lasting damage.
Actually I think I should not have bought the kindle and what I wanted was an android tablet - my mistake. But if by installing anything you suggest this would enable me to download Whatsapp - and any other app that Amazon does not seem to allow - then I would be happy. Is this what may be achieved?
Thanks again, sorry I'm not good at all this technical stuff!

Well, let me be the first to say that I admire your courage, at least! :good: You need to understand, though, that you probably have to do more than just install some app -- this is more like completely replacing the operating system (e.g., Windows) on your PC with another one (e.g., MacOS X). If you make it through these minefields, you'll effectively have a pretty fully functional Android tablet, but it's generally more for the technically minded (i.e., geeks) to attempt and maintain.
Maybe a good first step would be for you to go here and read through a Beginner's Guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552547. If that's too intimidating, then you probably won't be able to get to the point where I can help you install Whatsapp on your Kindle Fire.

Hello again, thanks for that - but after reading what you've said I don't think my courage extends that far! Anyway, not just so I can Whatsapp when I've got it on my phone. I'm hoping I'll get used to the kindle in time - while I save up for what I really wanted in the first place!

You may find that the Kindle Fire, other than its awkward launcher, may fit the bill just fine as you get used to it. Try browsing the Amazon App Store, and you will probably find most of the apps you'd regularly use on a generic Android tablet. As for Whatsapp, you can't really run it with the same account on more than one device at the same time anyway, so it might be just as well that you only use it on your phone. :cyclops:

Aplogies for bumping an old thread
I have a rooted Kindle Fire (first generation).
I would like to install WhatsApp Messenger on it. I don't have a CUSTOM-ROM. This is rooted without any customizations.
Is there something I can do, to get this started? Any pointers in the right direction are appreciated.
Well, it's been over a year since my original post, and I no longer run Whatsapp on my Kindle Fire now, so I can't be sure what works now. But I'd suggest you follow the links in the first post on this thread for starters, and see if that gets you anywhere.
I'm at wits end and am hoping someone here can help me. I recently bought a Nook Simple Touch (v 1.2.1), and tried to root it using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040351.
Things seemed to go OK and I think I rooted it successfully, but I got frustrated because the amazon app store wasn't working and I couldn't figure out how to get google apps up and going. So I figured I'd restore it back to original state, do some more reading, and try to root it again when I had more knowledge. I was able to get it to the screen to do the factory restore (# 3 on this thread: http://nookdevs.com/Nook_Simple_Touch_restore_to_stock), but it is hung up on the start screen (the screen that says "nook by Barnes & Noble" with the dot moving across the five circles). It's been hung for over an hour.
I'm really frustrated - I've rooted phones before, and recently rooted a Nook HD+ with zero issues.
When I rooted it I thought I was making a backup by hitting the backup button before hitting the route, but I don't see any backup image on my SD card.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
---------------------------
UPDATE:
ok, I am a huge fan of the Brontes but have never been so excited to see their faces as I am now! After a lot of frustration and cursing, but lots of persistence, I was able to successfully do the system restore, by doing #2 on this thread ((# 3 on this thread: http://nookdevs.com/Nook_Simple_Touch_restore_to_stock)). It appears that option #3 wasn't really working (I hit the home button twice per the instructions, but then it turned into a cycle of hell).
So now I will proceed more cautiously, first being certain I figure out how to make a backup...
Hiya Droid,
Getting the google maps and market etc working is a bit of a faff quite frankly but it does work!
Heres the instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086582
Take your time and follow them step by step and you should be good to go.
Google Maps works great on the nook and is possibly the best app for it. The twitter app also works and it looked like the facebook app worked too (but it was huge!) Opera Mobile Classic is a really nice web browser to use with it, The opera mini that come pre-installed is a waste of time imho. Also UC Browser (with the squirrel) is the other web browser I recommend. I probably use it more than Opera Mobile Classic.
BTW if you are in the UK then the amazon appstore doesn't work and you can just uninstall it by doing a long press on the icon.
Hope you get it all working. I think the thing to do is just to take your time and not to get frustrated or worry when things go wrong. If you have a fresh nook then you have no data to lose anyway, and as you have found, there are a lot of ways to get you back to where you started!
Good Luck!
Freya
thank you FreyaBlack, I was able to figure it all out. Maybe my first download of nookmanager was faulty, the second time it worked like a charm. The market was a bit wonky but I think it just needed time to sync! Now I just have to figure out how dropbox works on this thing (I already use it on my desktop for audio files but need to figure out how to get those (audio files) NOT to sync on my NST.
Hi guys,
Thanks for your awesome work in this incredible little device, specially with the new ROMs and so.
My Nook Simple Touch (no Glowlight) is in its original 1.2.1-U, and I've been reading with it really well.
However, I want to install some apps, and seeing that the Amazon Appstore had a huge deal until today, I got the Officesuite Pro license right out the bat.
However, I did not take into account that my Amazon Appstore has been having issues for some time now. It always shows "Please enter a valid email and password", which I'm pretty sure I'm typing correctly.
The version of my Appstore APK is 2.1. Maybe there's a newest one? Maybe do I need to reflash my device, or clean out some data files?
Also, neither my cellphone nor my Nook appears registered on the "My Devices" panel. And my cellphone Appstore works just right.
I found this old thread, but it is so old that I fear nothing in it will work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414600
Any insight on this issue will be awesome.
Thanks everyone.

However, I want to install some apps, and seeing that the Amazon Appstore had a huge deal until today, I got the Officesuite Pro license right out the bat.
However, I did not take into account that my Amazon Appstore has been having issues for some time now. It always shows "Please enter a valid email and password", which I'm pretty sure I'm typing correctly.
The version of my Appstore APK is 2.1. Maybe there's a newest one? Maybe do I need to reflash my device, or clean out some data files?
Also, neither my cellphone nor my Nook appears registered on the "My Devices" panel. And my cellphone Appstore works just right.
I found this old thread, but it is so old that I fear nothing in it will work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414600
Any insight on this issue will be awesome.
Thanks everyone.

Cant help but I had the exact same issue with mine, it was acting like I was entering a wrong password even though I knew I wasnt. I never tried the Nook optimized version though, maybe give that a stab?
