G1 Owners Unite! The Official G1/Android Thread..News/Apps/Features All In Here

whats so great about the mytouch??? looks like a G1 without the keyboard. I thought there was gonna be a G2??

that's y i never thought for 1 second about getting it, 1 i like having a keyboard, 2 it was a similar dull, non glossy look that the g1 has. Also the screen is basically the same size.:smh: No offense to any1 who has the mytouch, i was just disappointed that tmobile followed up the g1 with simple lookn mytouch and even worse the cliq. They both have better specs than the g1, i'm not dissn the phones, more so tmobile----because while other carriers seem to get better lookn phones tmobile is on some.........American made cars of the 90s (non innovative and boring) while other carriers seem to be foreign cars of the 90s.


:confused:

Sending a GMail invite will allow that person to sign up for GV????

MYTouch is G2



?????




Is there anybody willing to PM me a Google Voice invite Please. I've requested through Google directly (a few times) but got no response from them. Seems like most people are getting their invites within a week. I think it's cause I'm black.


YES, how did I get my google voice invite, BY SENDING MYSELF AND INVITE, I FINALLY GOT MY GOOGLE WAVE INVITE ON FRIDAY, I SENT THAT FROM MY GMAIL ACCOUNT. I ONLY HAVE 1 GMAIL ACCOUNT. To my knowledge and it's all based on what others have said and speculations.....If you were 1 of the first to sign up for google voice or google wave, u would more than likely get your invite quicker. Now that many other carriers have Android phones or phones that can run google voice, an overload of people are requesting, so there's naturally a delay in people getting an invite. Just hope they don't close the door, especially since they may drop that google phone. As for google wave, I sent myself an invite over a month ago---probably 4 to 7 weeks ago, I just got my invite on friday. So realize there is a big delay, everything is still sort of in beta and google seems to pride themselves on some vip shyt, not lettn everybody get in. When u forget about it, you'll get an invite. I had forgot all about google wave and next thing i know, it was in my gmail.



Once again T-Mobile FAILS to get a high end phone

http://phandroid.com/2009/11/27/xperia-x10-smoking-hot-and-strutting-its-stuff/

I woulda paid damn near full price for this

homie I skimmed through the article pretty quickly, I didn't see where it ever named a carrier. I did see in the replies somebody said it was going to xingular but the i didn't read that from the author of the article. So i'll keep my hopes up. But, if tmo doesn't get this and their next Android phone is some small screen (3.1 or 3.2), dull, non glossy lookn shyt, i'm going to another carrier.
 
So I went out of town for the holidays, I have a cousin who's into his blackberry storm 2, so I went to market searching for some free apps to fk'm up real quick.

here's a couple of nice apps i found, peace if any of these have been posted.


The TV.Com app is off the chain!! I didn't even think that shyt was gonna be that clear! I have a tv in 1 of my cars but my main car doesn't have a tv. I didn't want to fk up all the factory shyt on my dash. I do have a holder for my g1 on my windshield. I have the adapter to get sound out the radio. Even though I basically have tv.com playing for show. It's a great app, i thought it would be buffering and pausing alot, that shyt doesn't pause at all and the quality is excellent. Just wish i didnt have to restart it everytime I got a call.

Droidlive is pretty nice, i thought u would have 2 pay for songs or there would be a bunch of artist who we never heard of on there, nope, it has lots of big name artist and has several genre's.


ebay and paypal! dope especially since i made a sell on ebay while out of town, and simply went to paypal on my phone and transferred to my bank account!

The app called Listen. My cousin is from NY, I simply typed in New York and pulled up some podcast from radio stations in this ngz area, haha.

I even stunted on his azz with this bullshyt metal detector app.:lol:

The app called Where is dope. That shyt even gave me the cheapest gas prices in my area, store location, name, restaurants, etc....Long press on location and let google maps navigate your azz to it.

Pintail is old but always good to have. Make sure u make a password for just anybody can't send u message and get your location.........

SMS commander is a must have. Just in case your phone is ever lost or stolen, u can find the exact location, disable your phone, spy and several other options.

I was stuntn with google maps navigation and streetview, but I been gettn a lot of force closes and lagging since installing it. Was gonna reinstall google maps but i'll wait to after I flash the latest Cyanogen some time this week, I've been hearing a lot of good shyt about Cyanogen's 4.2.5, looks like Cyanogen is officially back in the game after his first rom after than google conflict flopped.


There's too many apps to name, I hadn't checked Market in a couple of weeks. Actually I wont check it again for another couple of weeks. By then hopefully they'll have some dope new apps.

If ya'll run across something hot, fill us in, Much props again Zei, u been keepn shyt going.

anybody have any apps that will lock out and hide certain files and pics on the android? thanks

HideNseek for pics and vids i havent applied it to anything else tho.
also going into your files when connected to ur pc and adding .hide to the end of the file will hide it also on the phone but not in pc link.

Here's the Ahome V3.0.1 .apk file

http://www.mediafire.com/?hymjmmwzooy

Once you download the .apk file, place it in your SD card

To install this app your gonna need to download from the marketplace and app called astro manager. Once installed, just do a search on your SD card for the file and install from there. Ill see if I can find some free themes for you if you need em.

BTW you can use astro install .apk files and you can find a shitload of em on this site[thx royal]

hidenseek puts shyt in your directory, all any snooper has to do is go to linda file manager or astro and click show hidden files.:smh: but if u don't think the snooper will think of that, u can roll with hide n seek for a second.

Privacy Suite is probably the best app for your privacy needs right now. You can lock contacts, sms, and call logs. It is $5 in Market, some people don't like the way u can't view entire sms threads u have to click individually. Since Android is growing rapidly there should be an app anyday that can successfully lock apps of our choice, many people on many sites have been asking about this, so it'll be out soon. It will soon be mandatory, since this smartphones can hold all kinds of private data. If u don't have the $5 for privacy suite, there are a few individual apps in market that can lock single apps like sms, pics, contacts. But, an all in one app is yet to be found. This is a problem I asked about before the g1 even came out. The G1 is my 4th smartphone---my last four phones have all costed me $350 and up. None of them had an app to lock shyt, that's so crazy because 4 years ago, I had a $99 audiovox flip phone, and it allowed me to lock contacts, text, pics, call log, etc...It allowed me to store 4 private contacts, etc... I just knew paying over $350 for a phone.....i'd get that same option to password protect certain apps, but 4 phones and over a thousand dollars later none of these phones have come with that simple shyt that my $99 audiovox came with............

For now go to Market, search private, search password, search lock, u should get some apps to lock certain programs. peace
 
I had privacy suite...thought the developer abandoned it...?

I'm having a issue trying to unroot my g1 cuz im on firmware 1.6, so i cant just root. I did a search on youtube and came across this. This the same shit im facing can someone help me out? Just drop me a pm or somethin

 
android has a potential killer app called buzzdeck its like palm pre's cards just in an app minus some of the coolness...i got bgol as a card and that saves opening the browser(download dolphin browser too multi touch and pin to zoom)...buzzdeck is my new fav app... it won the developer contest also...

also y'all need to go to http://www.pmessenger.net/ and send them an email with android as your subject.
its like bbm but its universal for any device android, iphone, blackberry, winmo...u get a pin and everything iphone has it now but the android version is goin beta soon....
 
Anyone know of an app that will make my screen stay on forever (unless I turn it off manually of course) whenever it is connected to a charger?

Is there a good place to browse apps online? I don't like Android market, it's not very good unless you know the app you're looking for. It's amazing that Google allows it to be so poor in regards to searching.

You should be able to edit your setting as far as how long the screen stays on and off while charging, idle, or on the phone

Which version of android are you running because the donut version has a better version of the market place. But try this site: http://www.android.com/market/

and for free paid apps: http://droidappz.org/forumdisplay.php?f=9

I'm running Android 2.0 (Droid). I don't see a way to have the screen automatically stay on forever when the phone is charging. There's just one screen timeout option that always works.

That market website is kinda weak, imo. It only shows a few of the thousands of apps available. I'll check out the other link, tho :cool:

Edit: looks like droidappz's account's been suspended.

its been a minute since i've been in here...can anybody tell me:

WHATS THE BEST SMS/MMS APP FOR THE G1 OUT NOW??? IS IT CHOMP SMS STILL? I NEED SOMETHING TO OVER RIDE THE PRE-INSTALL SMS/MMS APP..

CHOMP HAS THE "BLACKLIST" FEATURE WHICH IS COOL FOR HIDING YA TEXT BUT YOU CAN STILL SEE THEM IF YOU OPEN UP THE PREINSTALLED SMS/MMS APP.. SO ITS VOID. ANY IDEAS?
 

Handcent_sms

The best SMS app for android. Fully Customizable EVERYTHING damn near..even fonts are available for download in the marketplace. I had it for a long time but it just got to be a little to much for me so I just use SMS pop up and the stock SMS
 
Keeping you guys updated

Meta-Morph


No longer shall you have to boot into revcovery mode and flash a .zip to theme your phone...no no no. What meta-morph allows you to do is "flash" a whole theme OR bits and pieces that you would like to customize your phone if you dont want the whole shabang.

Credits for MetaMorph Go to Stericson and Kastro.
Credits for the MetaMorph Gui (The application) go to Stericson
Honorable mentions go to Riku, prash, and djengizz For continued support and testing metamorph!


MetaMorph V0.9.5 is out! All theme sizes should work!

So I am finally releasing to the general public my MetaMorph application.

MetaMorph is an application that will allow you to theme your phone without having to reboot into recovery mode and flash some kind of update.

Rather, you will choose from your sdcard a downloaded theme and apply it to your phone.

Here is some basic info about this:

Make sure you download AndExplorer from the market.

You can find themes compatible with this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589315

Please report any bugs.

MAKE A NANDROID BACK BEFORE USING.
Use at your own risk :)


Heres the link to videos showing metamorph in use:

Part1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaTVRul-juY

Part2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqLuyeiM-Qo

Here is a video showing how the theme control file of metamorph should be done:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maVS7ovS7rg

Here is the link to the latest MetaMorph Download:


http://relentlessaddictions.com/android/sites/default/files/MetaMorph.apk

More information Later!
Stericson

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591329


And here's the official community thread for the latest meta-morphed themes.

WARNING!!
MetaMorph is still in Beta phase so always make a backup before trying this and expect issues and future changes. If you don't like taking risks don't try this!!

The purpose of this thread is to create a nice collection of MetaMorph files so that anybody can pick the morphs they like to and create a fully customized phone the way you want it. Since i really think MetaMorph is going to change the way we think about theming and make life a lot easier for both users and themers lets get the ball rolling. So any themer or anybody that has created a morph please share your creations for the benefit of others.

Install instructions for MetaMorph:

First read what Stericson has to say himself.

Next download and install AndExplorer from the market and download and install Stericsons new beta application MetaMorph which can be found here. Make sure you always use the latest version of MetaMorph since it's still a beta release and changes might be added quickly (MetaMorph is now on version 0.9.5 so please check this).
Put the Morphs posted in this thread on your SD card in a folder called 'AndroidThemes'. Point the MetaMorph application to the morph you want to apply using AndExplorer and apply all subthemes or just the bits you like.




If anybody likes to share their MetaMorph files please post them here and i will add them to the openings post. Also make sure that you specify for what ROM(s) the Morph is intended if it's doesn't work on any ROM and specify on what ROM(s) it's tested. Please make sure your morphs are compatible with the new MetaMorph application and that you're using the (new) .thm file format as described by Stericson. If you have any questions on creating (or installing) the Morph files post them in this thread and i will try to help you. Let's make this thread a nice resource for people looking to customize their phones just the way they like it. If you could add some screenshots of your creations that would be really nice and helpfull to make those choices.



If you use any of these morph make sure to read the comments. Some of these morphs will work on any ROM, some of these morphs are for specific ROMs or even specific setups (like with or without a lockscreen). Also realize that for instance changing the text color or specific APKs might not be reversed by using another morph (and in the case of text color make things unreadable). If this happens flash your original ROM without wiping, or use one of the theme template morphs to revert these changes. If you're not sure if you have got the right morph post a comment and ask.


All credits go to Stericson, Kastro and the people behind MetaMorph they give credit to.
Check out the thread on the MetaMorph application for more info on this theming project.



And now for the morphs (and if you like what you see, let the themers know):

Ive not tested it out myself since I just spent 2 damn days tryna ROOT my new G1 since most of the older methods dont work anymore:rolleyes:

But from what ive researched is that when Cyanogen releases a new ROM...all you'll have to do is flash the new ROM and then get the latest meta-morph theme[which shouldnt take ANY time at all] and there you have it.
