i've had so much trouble rooting before..i'm stayin clear of it infact. i only have 1 g1 and will only every have 1 g1.

heres my question. what is the spl? i understand what everything else is. i understand you need it for a hero/rosie/sense rom. what exactly is it, and whats the pros of updating it to hykuros? ]]> General Mod My Android Discussions havikx http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f28/stupid-question-28663/ new to andriod http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f28/new-to-andriod-28654-new/ Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:24:13 GMT Hi i'm new to android and as a matter of fact this whole open development wave of technology(my last decent phone was a sidekick 2). I now own a samsung moment and am very pleased, but im looking to maximize my experience(its my phone i'd like it to do what i say lol)

as far as the phone goes its beautiful, the screen is incredible even on the lowest brightness(i keep it at 30 %), the processor is an 800 MHZ processor and the overall feel is great.

i'd like to know is there anyway i can:

1) delete apps,widgets and icons permanently even if they are native to the build

2) automatically stop specific programs(weatherbug,sprint navigation,moxy mail,calendar,alarm etc) from starting by themselves......by either placing them on an auto-shutdown list or something like that when they try to start up

and id like to be informed about what he term "rooting" means and does any1 know about any 2.0 update for the moment.

sorry if this is in the wrong place or all my questions are rudimentary, id really appreciate the feedback ]]> General Mod My Android Discussions malikai http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f28/new-to-andriod-28654/ Help?! Bricked? I hope not... http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f28/help-bricked-i-hope-not-28569-new/ Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:00:21 GMT Okay I have HTC Dream(G1) it's rooted with the Flash Android 1.6 & CyanogenMod 4.2.5/4.1.9999 I was in the process of updating it to the HERO ROM but I didn't upload the SPL, I can get to the Recovery screen an BOOT screen, but it's stuck on the G1 screen, does anybody have any experience in this? oh yeah I was wondering if I used a sd card reader would I be able to load all the right things on there then just put the sd card back into the phone an fix it from there?

any help would be appreciated

I have a dream running cm 4.2.5 with a class 6 sd card (fat32/ext3/96mb swap) and hard spl. I also have the newest radio required for cm and for haykuro's spl (2.22.19.26I)

From what I understand I'll need haykuro's latest spl to be able to run hero roms.

What do I need to do at this point where I'm at to get the hero rom on my phone? I'm just nervous about bricking while flashing the spl.

I guess I'd just like a straight forward step by step for flashing everything I need to get it all running. I'm not new to android, but haven't dabbled with anything outside of what I needed to do to get cm running. ]]> General Mod My Android Discussions LookOut4TheYeti http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f28/flashing-hero-roms-28524/ unrooting my uk G1? http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f28/unrooting-my-uk-g1-28485-new/ Tue, 17 Nov 2009 11:04:13 GMT Hi all, I currently have a UK G1 that im trying to unroot and return to standard after failing at trying to put the g2 stuff on my phone...

Android is made to be open source and designed to work how the user wants it. I like the easy look of the iPhone, and would like to share it with everyone here. Below is a pic of what you can do it is very simple.

1. dxtop from android market $2.99
2. I will email you the icons I have cut them all from a high quality pic, and can send them to you.
3. chompsms
4. All you have to do is install dxtop change the background to a black photo.
5. find a pic of the 3GS to referance and add the applications from your device to the homescreen, for example for weather just add the weather app, and you will hcange it in the next step.
6. Then you hold on to the icon and click change icon, and choose from the photos.
7. Hold on to the icon to rename the application.

It seems like it takes a while but the whole process took 15 minutes, and its easy, just repetitive.
All the apps will launch becasue essentially it is just a different picture. of the real icon.
Hope everyone enjoys.
