Nexus One: The Story -- Epiosode 5: Day One

The “Nexus One” will be mine

Hi.

After a long time without an Android device, i will be back soon.

Because i live in germany, where the nexus one is not available at the moment, a friend of mine who is doing his practica in the UK, ordered a Nexus one for me. He will be here by the end of January. So you will see a lot of images, videos and application updates.

If you have any special requests, feel free to post in the comments.

“Android, i´ll be back”

Merry Christmas

Hi.

My blog had not to much info this year, but i hope you all could find some interesting things.

Especially my test about the HG281DJ monitor was visited a lot of times.

About android, i hope i will write more again next year. All the developement was canceled, after i sold my G1 again and went back to the iphone. But for the iPhone, i don´t want to develope. Don´t ask me why. I don´t exactly know. But the main thing is, i don´t like any language which has to do something with C. But java for android is very interesting. I still have some ideas in mind, and i try to come up with some new apps and also with some updates on my old once.

So keep on watching.

But for know, have a nice Christmas Day and a lot of presents.

“Merry Christmas”

No info for a long time

Hi.

Like you have seen, there has been no update to my blog. This was due to a lot of work and also to my second blog about android.

Now i merged my two blogs again.

First, this was done due to selling my android phone again and i wanted to have one blog with all informations for you.

So stay tuned, a lot of new things will show up in the next days. Not only things about android or iPhone, but also about anything else interesting in the mobile life.

Test

Just a small test. Posting directly from my G1.

Update: HERO on G1

Since i couldn´t resist to use Hero as an everyday ROM i tried a lot of tweaks and optimizations in order to get it running as smooth as the ROMs from Cyanogen. And now i have finally got to the point for myself where i can say, i am running at around 95% of the same speed. So for me, it is now usable as an everyday phone.
Therefore i used JacHero´s Rom 2.3.3 together with apps2sd, swapper and TA Utilities.
But i got the most out of it with replacing the Rosie.apk which is normally around 4,5MB with a highly stipped down version which is only 336KB big (JacHero´s one is allready stripped down to around 1,6MB).
If anyone needs help installing Hero on his or her G1, i am willing to post a How-To.
Attached some screenshots:

HERO on G1

Today, i tried a really stable Hero release on my G1.
At first, it looks really great, but even with overclocked cpu to 528MHz and external apps, it runs to slow (in my opinion) in order to use it as a everyday rom.
So now i will go back to Cyanogen. But you have to know, if you want to go back, you have to format your SD card again completely. The FAT32 partition for the standart stuff and the ext2/3 partition for Apps2SD.
If anyone will give it a try look over to xda-developers.com.

Android and Apps on SD

Today i managed it to get my apps on the sd card of my android device and it is still working. I tried it a lot of times with terminal hacking, lucidrem scipts but without any sucess.
Today i put the ROM from CyanogenMod on my device. His rom supports ext3 on the SD card and after installing is recovery image it is very easy inside the recovery terminal to get the apps on the sd.
The ROM itself recognizes the ext3 on the sd card as “internal memory” and now i have enough space to install all the great apps.
Originally, i had 74Mb to install apps, no i have 980Mb.
Let´s see, how it works during the next weeks.

A little bit more Python on Android

Yes, say did it. Ok, you can´t write real “apps” within python, but you can get quite next to it.
Now you are able two script within the ASE (Android Scripting Environment) small apps and use some of the Android api´s.
I tried it myself and wrote a “Hallo World” app in less than a minute.
It is very easy and everyone who likes python should give it a try.
At the moment, lua and BeanShell besides python is supported by the app. If you want to give it a try, find a downloadable apk file at http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/.
There is no download on the market for the moment, so take a look at the webpage.

Everything fine

Hi.
At the moment, you do not hear a lot from me. But i am still alive but have a lot of things to do besides programming and theming. For the moment, i went back to the magic theme for the G1. This i like a lot.
Additionally, i use a small programm, which will put some chaches to the sd card. This gave me back around 5Mb. This just works fine for me (apps2sd did not work properly for me). If anyone is interested in this programm, i will post a link.
Keep on Android, the force is with you.
