If you're a real photographer wouldn't you want a real camera?
Seems like a mathematician complaining about the calculator on the phone not being powerful enough...
I have 2 very real cameras, with very real lenses, lighting and the whole nine. This is about 'GPS in a camera' that will be on my side every minute of the day. Just cause I want to be able to map 'found' locations to come back to, doesn't mean I want them to look lifeless.
The pics on the X10 look amazing but the x10 isn't here and android on the x10 still looks stuttered.
google earth for android 2.0/2.0.1 (droids)
http://uploaded.to/file/8wmahm
Its real fly
apps from the motori (don't work on droid but probably will work on nexus since its full 2.1)
Dock.apk, mediagallery.apk, com.MotoDemos.apk, spare parts apk and FMRadioService.apk
The spare parts apk doesn't work on droid but it might on nexus. its basically make your phone faster stuff that speeds up the transitions. its a overclocking shortcut without rooting.

these haven't been tested on nexuses. use your file manager to install on astro if u dont see the icon for the apk its not installable.
anyone tried pmessenger its like bbm but u can use it on android and with people u know with iphones or itouches and soon on blackberry. u get your own pin its pretty cool.

What up fam? I am now an official member of the Nexus One fam.. As you can see I copped the dock too.. And yes the phone is unlocked..
My G1 looks so primitive now..
Welcome
pmessenger from android market its $1.36...all one word
Anybody using Better Keyboard on their N1? I heard it runs slower than the default keyboard but trust the responses from yall more.
i used it and it was a little slowe but not enough to tell a difference. If you are really interested in a different Keyboard, run with HTC IME. Couldn't be happier.

[HACK] JIT enabled Dalvik VM on Android 1.6 (Dusted Donuts) [Hack]
TESTED AND CONFIRMED WORKING ON SuperD 1.8 With SetCPU overclocking at 528Mhz MAX/MIN. Apps are running extra smooth, boot time is cut in half, performance of phone is greatly improved. Currently running @ 35Megaflops. For us currently still using the rooted G1 or MT3G this is a VERY helpful hack. If any help is needed to install please send me a DM
Primer: Read this about Dalvik VM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalvik_virtual_machine
Read this to: Google Groups post about JIT compiler for Dalvik VM from Android-Platform Link
From the post we see that this particular compiled library is ALPHA, so results can vary, but from reading most posts in this thread the results are right near the talked about 3x faster code, stability is going to vary on what apps and or widgets are running. More Widgets = slower performance as these have processes that are eating cycles. When testing with Linpack wait for the advertisement to load first then tap the benchmark button and remove your finger from the touch screen. Background process such that interrupt or having auto-rotate enabled while testing is going to give you slower benchmarks.
In short your apps should load faster and run faster, particularly 3D games. The web browser is faster and you can actually scroll through pages even while graphics are still loading.
The reboot when enabling it is long even appearing to hang at the G1 Screen for 5 minutes or more but once it starts booting past this you will know that your ROM is compatible. The cause is that the dex files are being optimized, after about a third reboot, your ROM should feel pretty snappy and launching apps should be quicker as well as switching apps. The snappiness lasts as well and as some may have said that it's a placebo effect are wrong. Bench mark readings prove it and more importantly a few ROM builders have included this in their 2.1 ROMs as experimental.
The libdvm.so that t3steve cross compiled for the DROID at the time was for Android 2.0, the library works for with newer ROMs Android 1.6 that have some eclair pieces built into the kernel, CyanogenMOD has been using bits and pieces for a while now, if other ROM builders have been using his kernel and framework than a good chance it will work for your phone as well.
I have nothing to do with the compiling of this or the exact functions of enabling JIT except that I had a hunch that the combo might work and it did, so I'm sharing it.
If you aren't good at typing in commands, or don't know how to extract a zip file and understand that a sub folder may or may not exist where you have extracted said zip file to, well.... you may run into some issues, maybe a video tutorial for basic command line on youtube would be a good place to learn.
I wanted to make a very detailed post on www.andoidonroids.com about how to mash the JIT enabled Dalvik VM library into Android 1.6 Donuts I'm calling the hack "Dusted Donuts" and take from the name for what you will. I have been using the JIT enabled Dalvik VM for about two weeks and i runs decent but not perfect. Anyhow a death in the family Sunday has kept me from making a decent post and haven't had the time to get to the website and post and cross post and give credit where due.
No doubt that aaraya1516 broke the news on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5703076&postcount=193 as he was first to break the hack on FastTest, not taking anything away from him on that.
My testing goes back two weeks or more even during the 580mhz & 780mhz hack, I was waiting for someone to compile a boot.img with some 2.x stuff and sure enough the carlospants boot.img from ctso worked with enabling JIT for Dalvik VM, but as we know now the overclocking doesn't work at the moment.
Thank Cyanogen and t3hSteve of which may not know that this was entirely possible. Cyanogen mixed in enough Eclair into his Donuts (he's like Willy Wonka) that makes it possible to use the cross compiled JIT enabled Dalvik VM library from 2.1 for the Motorola DROID 2.0.1 libdvm.so that t3hSteve of www.alldroid.com compiled for the custom roms on Droid.
WARNING: Using other methods supplied from other forum members that include replacing the build.prop may cause problems, using the build.prop from the original VMLIBS.ZIP (which is here for reference and original source for libdvm.so) is definitely going to cause ROM and application problems. Hello....use your head here... the VMLIBS.ZIP is for Motorola DROIDS, why would you put the build.prop file for a DROID on your G1 and expect your apps or ROM to work afterwards? It's so simple, you need 1 file, it's called libdvm.so it goes in /system/lib a file by the same name already exists there and it's in your best interest to at least back it up before overwriting it and gives you the ability in the event that your system doesn't boot up you can restore it through recovery console and get your phone to boot past the G1 screen.
FYI: Some ROMs have the option dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast in the /system/build.prop file, this would need to be changed to dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit or commented out or deleted. If you want to play with advanced options create /data/local.prop and fiddle in there with options available from typing dalvikvm -h in your console or terminal app.
Required:
1. Android 1.6 ROMS with a bit Eclair stuff in the Kernel and framework such as Cyanogen ROM 4.2.x, Super D 1.8 - 1.92, WG Y2.6, FastTest, KingKlick Eclair and more.. This libdvm.so works on Android 2.1 as well as it seems it should.. 1 st bootup is slow and I recommend you let it sit even when desktops are up for a couple of minutes and then reboot it, 2nd and 3rd bootups are faster and smoother response overall even for long durations, days.
FIX YOUR FILE SYSTEM FIRST !!!!!! Got to do it from Recovery Console, It's partly the cause of poorly running ROMS and takes seriously longer to type the command than to fix your unknowingly faulty file system. EXT2 is the worst offender and the built in function to repair falls short, even more so when checking EXT4.
Code:#e2fsck -fcpDC0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 #reboot recovery For the lazy fingers #e2fsck -fcpDC0 /*/*/*0p2 #reboot recovery
1. Download www.androidonroids.com/dusted-donuts (File has 3 scripts backup, install, restore, 2 folders, 1 libdvm.so)
2. Extract zip to root of /sdcard or where ever you like (the zip has a folder containing the files named dusted-donuts)
3. Open Terminal or go to Recovery Console
FYI when running the install through Terminal your system may freeze or reboot and if it does I highly recommend that you prepare to enter Recovery Mode and check your file system. EXT2 corrupts quickly and this is where you choose to store apps and dalvik-cache? good luck and your rom probably runs like a$$.
Code:$su #mount -o rw,remount auto /sdcard #cd /sdcard/dusted-donuts #sh backup #sh install #sync #reboot
Check the Dalvik VM execution mode. Returned modes int:jit = JIT execution mode & int:fast = default mode
Code:$ su #getprop dalvik.vm.execution-mode
check the last line for the current DalvikVM environment and look at all of those options that can be jammed into your build.prop and local.prop files
Code:$su #dalvikvm -h
Phone won't boot past G1 screen? Go to recovery console and restore libdvm.so (give it at least 5 minutes first before giving up)
Code:#mount -o rw,remount auto /sdcard #cd /sdcard/dusted-donuts #sh restore #sync #reboot
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
prefer to use VMLIBS.ZIP from t3hSteve? This is how you can install using that.
Required:
1. Android 1.6 ROMS with a bit Eclair stuff in the Kernel and framework such as Cyanogen ROM 4.2.x, Super D 1.8 - 19.2, WG Y2.6, FastTest, KingKlick Eclair and more.. This libdvm.so works on Android 2.1 as well as it seems it should..
How to install: (easier to go in recovery mode but can be done through terminal)
1. Download the VMLIBS.ZIP from t3hSteve of allroid.com http://alldroid.org/download/file.php?id=1374
2. You only need the libdvm.so file of which appears to be JIT enabled by default.
3. Backup the original libdvm.so #cp /system/lib/libdvm.so /sdcard/libdvm.so
4. Copy the JIT enabled libdvm.so #cp -f /sdcard/vmlibs/libdvm.so /system/lib/libdvm.so
5. Set permissions on the file #chmod 644 /system/lib/libdvm.so
Optional for disabling: (easier to do vi through recovery console, since the back key escapes out of terminal)
To disable JIT MODE but want to keep the libdvm.so create a local.prop in /data and add dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast
#vi /data/local.prop
press the i key to enter vi interactive mode
type dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast
press back key to exit vi interactive mode
to write the file out and quit vi type :wq
or
restore your backed libdvm.so file from the sdcard.

Enjoi! the dusted donuts,
-Licknuts (me? I'm like Varuca Salt, I want another pony)
Vendor G1 roms around 1.2 Mflops, Custom G1 roms are around 2.4 MFlops/s and with JIT compiled Dalvik VM 3.6 MFlops/s. At most you will see 3.5 MFlops/s fairly consistently with a minimal load on your system and highs at 3.7 Mflops/s. Test before and after using Linpack from the Market, it's free.
The 13.236 Mflops/s is not normal and you will probably not see with your testing, I have seen 5.x & 7.x but these are far and few between and this took a while with tweaked configurations/settings with a persistent app to kill processes, it is attainable and I hope a ROM developer finds the sweet spot to exploit.

thanks I may get that or the new seidio case
the seidio is easy to take off and put back on for people who have docks - i like that tough case but not sure if it could hold up to being taken off and put back on alot- looks like it could
Does anyone have a case like that on their Nexus One now? I have a silicone case that fits the phone very well but the port for the mini-USB is very tight & makes it very easy for the cable to slip out. I'm thinking of getting a better one but not sure which to get.thanks I may get that or the new seidio case

http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr5hnx1-bk.htm
there's the link for it - the bottom is very open for port access and the top as well
its 19 bucks and that one the other dude posted is 29 and comes with a screen cover
i may try that one and send it back if its trash
I'll probalby go with the Seidio case. I'm not to fond of having cases that cover the buttons like the one I have now. That other case looks like it covers everything.
By the way has anyone acquired a screen protector that doesn't interfere with the proximity sensor?
Edit: I figured out the proximity sensor issue. The sensor is located in the upper left corner. You can see it if you put it under direct light & will notice 2 small dots on the screen. If you're going to buy a screen protector then make sure it has a cutout section to leave the proximity sensor uncovered. This is the one I bought http://www.googlenexusoneaccessories.com/nexus-one-smoke-screen-protector-8643.html

I have the Seidio Ultimate Screen Protector. Once applied it looks and feels as if there is no screen protector on the phone. It also does not interfere with the proximity sensor. You can find it here.
I also have the Seido Innocase™ II Surface. It's not like one of those soft silicone cases. This more like an aluminum case wrapped in rubber. It snaps on the phone in 2 pieces and fits like a glove and is not bulky at all. Though a little pricey, IMO, this is the best case on the market for the Nexus One. You can find it here.
Thanks I'll give this a try!
Nexus One reportedly coming to Verizon on March 23
Posted on Friday, Feb 26, 2010 by Erica Marchand
Drum roll, please ... We've known for a while that the Nexus One would be coming to Verizon. We just didn't know when. Well it seems that we have finally gotten a date. March 23 is the date that the much awaited Nexus One reportedly will be available. According to an anonymous source, speaking to NeoWin:
The Nexus One, originally released on T-Mobile in January, has passed FCC inspection for use on Verizon's CDMA network and according to a Google worker who wishes to remain anonymous it will be made available on March 23.
We don't know how much it's going to cost on the Verizon Network, but currently the Nexus one is selling for $529 unlocked, or $179 with a two year contract from T-mobile. [neowin]

well this is good and bad for me, lol. The con is now I wont be the only cat with the Nexus, lol. I've been in the smart phone game for 3.5 years now and never have I had a dope phone this long that it seems as if nobody has. All the time in store lines u got mofoz lookn at your phone, I keep my shyt lit up bright with that live wallpaper, lol. went to Velvet Room last week, got a few numbers, as i'm adding this chick to my contacts she said, "that's not an iphone is it" i put my phone next to her iphone and said "your kidding right" haha I was on some Jay Z shyt. But it's been kewl having this phone in advance, b4 it is made more affordable and u see more cats with it.
The pros of it coming to Verizon, shyt I'm hoping it ups the Android Market. I'm sorry but I feel like the market has been slacking with good new programs, too many bs apps popping up. Several pages back I dropped several sites that posted free paid apps, I rarely even go to those sites because it seems like new productive apps have declined. Thank God for all the Google made apps that have been made available for free over the past few months! So I'm hoping with the Nexus coming to Verizon, it'll gather way more sells than it has offline and it will in return bring more developers to Android and attract more apps to Android. So hopefully with more people having the Nexus it'll attract more tweaks on XDA as well as attracting more apps in Market which will be good for all Android users!
^^^^You ain't lyin about the lack of useful apps in the Market. Only time I go there is when I get updates on the apps I already own. I still got the Twidroid Pro thread over at DroidAppz emailing me when there's an update on that but as for looking for new apps I don't even bother. Sometimes if you check Droiddog.com though they'll have articles on useful apps.
thx, so when asked if my location can be used, its safe to say yes? don't want to get fkd up with any legal shyt.
Anybody with the Nexus got swype running in landscape? I got a copy from another site that says it works in landscape but it doesn't.
One of my favorite security apps on the G1 was Sim Checker Pro, anytime, my phone was rebooted or sim taken out, i'd get an email giving the exact location, well it doesn't seem to be working with my Nexus, anybody got sim checker pro working on the Nexus.
Anybody rooted their Nexus or Droid yet? If so post your review and benefits. I haven't read on all the roms on xda yet, but the couple that I read don't seem to have any real benefits except the claim that shyt is faster, which must be incredible because shyt is already fast as fk. Then some of the roms have too many key features not working.
I unexpectedly went to a friend of a friends party, for the first time I used my camera, I have two digital cams so camera quality on a cell phone has never been important to me. Well everybody was taking pics, so I decided to try the camera on the Nexus one for the first time, I WAS VERY IMPRESSED, and the convenience of everything was great, a big upgrade from the other phones i've had. Then once the pic is taken all the options it gives, I uploaded and emailed some shyt just to check the accuracy and speed, excellent! Today I actually printed the pics on my photo printer and the quality is really good. 1 of my digital cams which I paid nearly $300 for a couple of years ago is 5mp and the other is 10mp for like $199. My 10mp was usually set to 5mp for more space, so this cam on the phone is pretty good and the big screen makes it better.
Some battery info from my Nexus but this guide can be used with any Android phone.
Tuesday I took my Nexus off charger fully charged at 6am with 3g on 12 hours later at 6pm I was down to 17% battery life. The following day 12 hours later with 3g off I had 57% battery life left, in fact my phone survived being on for 24 hours with 4% battery left. I had all the phone features on except 3g and wifi. These were work days so I wasn't doing much browsing on the phone and all talk was done on my bluetooth with phone screen off. So if your at work or not gonna be browsing that much I suggest turning off 3g it saves so much battery life. I wonder is that only a tmobile 3g issue? Anyways when I need 3g, I simply go to toggle it back on.

http://www.tmonews.com/
tmo's lineup looks horrible. That new cliq without keyboard.........If the Roi doesn't come out this month, ya'll will never hear the end of me ripping all those fkn blogs posted.
looks like the touch pro 2 is coming very soon, Once again it proves my skepticism on many of those fkn blogs which I no longer view. I was once fooled by those blogs, but I splitted months ago. First I heard the hd2 would be on Android, then, I heard 4.1 inch screen, then 3.8 inch screen, then Nov. 09, it would have Win 7, etc.......All those blogs are just the equivalent of concept car auto shows. They showcase shyt that will come out months later with often smaller specs. If it wasn't for Android phones i'd definitely get the hd2, but Android has me sold and I can't imagine leaving the Android family anytime soon. I have trust in Android. I love the N1, if I was on Verizon i'd have the Droid, if Att I guess i'd have to drop my pride and get the iphone---simply because it's the best phone att has, other than the 3 phones I mentioned i'd go back to my G1.

My Last Drop
Yea, no sense in dropping anything useful since this has become the nexus 1 thread
So this is my last G1 drop...hope it works for yall
Any rooted G1/MT3G users. This upgraded radio improves 3G speeds/Signal connections/WiFi connection/Battery Life
Tested myself last night at work and works wonders. Normally i get 2G speeds and I was on 3bar 3G speeds after I flashed.

This thread is open to all the Android family, other than you Zei, the G1 people don't seem to be posting. If any G1, mytouch, etc...consumers have any questions that I can answer I will. A couple of pages back I posted this special offer from tmobile for g1 owners only, nobody responded. All the Nexus hype is simply the same excitement we had when we first got our G1's. You should have saw howardforums and tmobile forums when the G1 first came out, lol, I still had my Wing, I had the Wing and bought the G1 on the first day, but new Android users were crashing all the forums bragging on their G1's, they weren't looking down they just were excited with their new toys. I know going from the windows mobile Wing to the G1 was a huge upgrade, I know longer had to use a fkn stylus, etc....so I was crazy over the G1. Shyt I'd still take a rooted G1 over any phone except the Nexus on tmobile. Whenever the Roi does come out, i'm sure there will be a flood of new users coming in giving their reviews and happiness over their new toy! I'll be reading them all, because if the phone is that dope, I'll simply put N1 on craigslist and get the Roi if its that much better than the N1. But currently i luv the fact that the N1 isn't sold in stores, so you don't see many people with it. But, when the Roi or some more powerful phone comes out i'm sure they'll flood this thread, it's all good, I saw it when the mytouch and Droid came out on other forums that i'm on. I don't mind people with other Android phones dropping reviews, accessories, roms, I JUST WANT MORE FKN APPS DROPPED, but as I have expressed i'm not seeing that many new dope apps coming from the Market. How many car locators, tip calculations, toggle widgets and shyt can mofo'z make. That's all I want right now, some great productive apps. Maybe some are out, but I can't go through all those fkn bs apps trying to find a needle in a hay stack.
BTW I want the Roi to come to tmobile but all these bull shyt information on those blogs being posted our accurate 1% of the time. I waited on the g2, I waited on the x10, etc....I'm just telling people don't believe all that bs. The dates are way off for actual release. Wait for official words not these buggy blogs.
For the 3rd time, if any of u flex pay users want the N1, if u have been on time with all your payments for 6 months to a year u will probably be approved to get a post paid account with tmobile. Call them and tell them u want to switch from flex to post. I did this 2 months ago, My first months bill was $0, last months bill was like $12. I called a million times to verify shyt, they say it's right, when you get a flex pay account, u pay a month in advance and some pay a deposit, that's why all i've paid for 2 months of service has been $12. So go figure, sell your current phone for atleast $100, then you save atleast $100 for going from flex pay to post, then buy the N1 off craigslist for $400 to $450, u only end up paying about $200 for the N1 unlocked without a contract and on the same g1 plan. Or u can simply go from flex pay to post, wait a day for everything to go through, log on the google's site, they have 3 ways to apply for the phone, apply for 2 of the ways you'll probably end up getting the $279 deal for the N1. sell your current phone for atleast $100, then with your credit for going from flex (u paid a month in advance)to post pay, it's be like u paying under $100 for the N1. Any other Android phone can be found a craigslist for $150 and under since so many people are selling their phones trying to get the n1.
I will say if tmo news is correct about tmobile's releases for March i'm very disappointed. Tmo is obviously not aiming at business professionals, tech heads, multimedia users, or the flashy genre. They don't have any signature phones that compete with the Droid or Iphone. I don't count the Nexus because it's not sold in tmo stores and the majority of tmo users don't even know it exist. I'm assuming maybe tmobile isn't dropping those high end phones because they feel their buying market isn't powerful enough. I guess they feel if they had a Droid or Nexus in stores they couldn't profit big like att and Verizon because they don't have as many customers and wont get those type of customers until they step their Data power (3g/4g) game up. If the Droid had dropped on tmobile I doubt tmobile could've afforded to give the buy 1 get free deals that Verizon had, the $199 shyt that Verizon and Att had. Tmo doesn't have enough customers for that and tmo's plans are lower priced so that's why I think we get the lower end Android phones. Just me ranting again....I'll probably continue to rant just as Creed continues to drop new phones, just as Zei drops roms, etc... It's keeping this thread alive until some new apps or certified news drops. I don't give a fk if I don't get a response
if latinplaya thug_nasty was here
I don't give a fk, i'm ranting and raving.
I helped make this thread hot pages back with several apps and reviews, so I can btch if I want to. Same with Zei, I just hope he hurry up and get the N1 or Roi, b4 he drops an apk file that will blow up all Nexus One users when downloaded

Nahh, you good Royal...
Zei, and everyone else here is too...
But listen, this thread is umpteen pages long right now, and I'm feeling too lazy to search, and yet oh so adventurous...
I am ready to root my G1...
Due to the new Android phones out, what is:
A) The Fire Rom or software to install currently.
and
B) The easiest method to do it (There was a simplified method posted a while back but I hadn't eaten my Cheerios at the time so I didn't have the heart to go through with it)...
Fast forward to now, and look what I have with me:
I've got gas in the tank...
The MASERATI is ready to roll...
But I don't know how to drive...
Somebody help me out man...

I was only messn with Cyanogen but his roms were getting boring in my latter days with the G1. Zei has posted several stable roms in the past couple of pages, he's definitely the guy to talk to for the best rom on the g1. Make sure to ask him if anything doesn't work, like camera, bluetooth. You can send him a pm, he doesn't mind, but he checks this thread all the time, he'll be through soon. As for rooting, I initially cheated, I did the 1 click root. I think umpteen pages back somebody said they fixed the glitch that allowed 1 click rooting, but Zei can walk u through rooting, if not there's this dude on xda who walked me through a long process when i thought I bricked my phone, dude is cool and patient. So if u can't get a hold of Zei for a walk through with rooting, let me know and i'll put u down with this cat off xda, he's always flashing new roms and shyt. If they come out with the Roi's rom tomorrow and the camera, phone, ringer, data doesn't work this dude will still flash that shyt, lol. Everything is simple with somebody walking u through.
