my friend has got himself Android Developer Phone 1. But he is not developer, he just wants to use it as a normal phone and he doesn't want any hassle with firmware updating (and he's not interested in root access etc.). If I flash the official U.S. G1 firmware into his phone, will he then receive normal OTA firmware upgrades, or will his phone still report as ADP1 and will he have to update manually?

I flashed my adp1 to firmware 1.1 following the instruction from HTC. http://www.htc.com/www/support/android/adp.html But after that, I want to modify the /init.rc, after I remount the rootfs as writable, I can edit or replace the /init.rc file. But the file will roll back the original version after reboot the phone. Before I modify the /init.rc, I install the busybox to the phone, then I use 'cp" command to replace the /init.rc Any one can give me some advice?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was searching the internet but could not find a site comparing the two. I'm interested in developing for the android platform. G1 seems to be just the same as ADP1, but is there any small changes that will be noticeable in development?How about 3rd party software? What T-Mobile software exists in G1 which is not part of the ADP1 bundle and vice versa?Can I swap the original ADP1 firmware with T-Mobile branded one? As I understand people can already hack the G1 to run ADP1's non-branded firmware.
View 4 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know how to get the debugger to launch on an ADP1?. It was recently flashed to 1.5. Dev platform is Eclipse on Windows XP with the SDK 1.5 USB driver installed (HTC Dream Composite Interface). Windows can see the device and adb can see the device with "adb devices" command. USB Debugging has been enabled on the device and the application manifest has android:debuggable="true" set in it. The LogCat windows is showing log output from the ADP1 too.
But when Selecting Run->Debug or Run->Run the avd is always launched. The instructions say that it should launch to the device or give a choice if the avd is running too.
Do anyone know what needs to be done to get the debugger to launch against the real device instead of the avd?
I bought an ADP1 from Brightstar Corp in November 2008 and everything was great until about a month ago when the camera window shattered in my pocket. I've called Brightstar who told me to call HTC, I did and they only sold the T-Mobile G1 backplates. My Android Market homepage only allows me to buy the ADP1. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this replacement part without buying a new phone?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to iterate through all the photo images (produced by ADP1 camera), held on external SD storage in an ADP1. I want to extract the binary data for each image file, determine image size in bytes and send the image data (possibly after compression) over a network conection.
My code is generating an exception when I try to generate a Bitmap based on Photos taken by the ADP1 Camera, stored physically on External SD Card Storage. It looks like the image size is exhausting VM for my application.
I attempt to extract a Bitmap via android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap() static member function. Code...
Pls advise me the best unofficial firmware update to download. Froyo based.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to write an app that can turn my mobile data connection on and off.Already got the source and built my own sdk, where I removed the @hide statements so I can use the relevant function.Also found out which permissions I need, in particular WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS, which is only available to system apps. I read adamk's comment and now need to know how to do what he suggested (add the app to system or sign it with the platform key).
At first I would like to do that on the emulator only, and then on my phone (which is rooted and using a custom ROM).I tried pushing it to the system directory on the emulator:
adb remount
adb push app.apk /system/app/
adb sync
which did not work, the app was not found and installed. What did I forget? How is the proper way to do this?
1. Guys please suggest some official Google/HTC link with explanation why HTC G1 phone can't be updated to Adroid 2.0-2.2 firmware.
2. Is Google planning to sell latest versions of developer phones in the near future?
Pleas tell me how to install this firmware and where am make to download it???

Is that a legitimate firmware from Samsung? Has anybody here try it?
I'm writing a toy car-navigation app for Android, mostly to learn the Android SDK. While testing my application, it worked fine for a few hours. Then, suddenly, it reported my position as being in a town 100km south of my real position, travelling at 300km/h. I was in fact travelling at approximately 120km/h. I changed application to Google Maps, and it also showed the same erroneous position and approximate velocity. Since I was driving a car in dense traffic at high speed, for safety, I decided not to start fiddling with the phone any more, and just put it away. The next time I took it up (maybe 15 minutes later), the position and velocity was correct again. I will add diagnostics to my program to show the reported accuracy of the GPS-fix.
I have a few questions: Is this a hardware/firmware problem in android phones? (I have a HTC Hero) Is this a known failure mode of GPS-receivers? What could make the GPS-receiver report such inaccurate positions? I had another GPS receiver in the car (a Garmin car navigator). Could this receiver have interferred with the HTC Hero unit?
Got it finally. Got a firmware update, Android 2.x on hero, Netherlands!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to understand how end-users will upgrade their device firmware from Android ver. X to X+1. A new build of Android contains system.img and userdata.img (among others). system.img is read-only, so I don't see any problem with simply replacing the user's existing copy. However, simply overwriting userdata.img with a newer version would destroy all of an end-users application data (wouldn't it?).
I'm trying to understand how this process will work for our Android- based device. It seems that the designers of Android must have had a plan for doing this without the user losing all of their data, but I can't find any documentation about this. Googling for this information yields lots of pages containing hacker- level instructions (e.g. adb commands) -- still no idea how this process was envisioned to work for average end-users.
I'm not sure who I should complain to about this, HTC or Google, but after I did the most recent Hero (sprint) firmware update I am unable to see applications that I developed nor several applications that I paid for (and free ones) on the Market. This makes updating them unavailable. Also, if I do a factory reset on my phone, then I will not be able to download these paid for applications again. What's the deal here? A friend of mine who also did the firmware update is in the same boat. Since I do have applications out there that people are buying, I am now unable to view comments for those since I cannot see them on the Market. What's the solution to this? Should I contact HTC as well?

Are these official Samsung versions? If so, why does Kies not offer to upgrade my phone if there are later versions? If not and I upgrade to a later firmware version:Which version should I upgrade to? Do I need to root the phone? What happens if Samsung release later versions - will there be a conflict etc? Will it affect any of the apps I currently have? Will there be a problem upgrading to v2.2 Froyo?
If I root the phone:What happens if Samsung release later versions - will there be a conflict etc? Will it affect any of the apps I currently have? Will there be a problem upgrading to v2.2 Froyo?
The reason i would like to upgrade the firmware is the lag - I can live with it, but if there is a solution I would rather not. If I could remove the lag it woulld be the perfect phone.
One thing I am not too keen on, is ending up in a similar situation to my jailbroken iphone - became a pain in the arse everytime a new version of the OS was released.
So, as you all probably know by now i'm new. and i'm completely new to the android world. I have been a blackberry user for a very long time.
2 days ago I got an android (htc hero) and I would love it if anyone could give me some basics or someplace to go so I can get the hang of things.
I'd like to know about how to use/get themes, apps that are a must, if I should update my firmware, etc etc. If anyone has tips or can point me in the right direction, please do so.
