Which Android SDK version is required for the T-Mobile G2 Touch?
I see under about phone several numbers:
firmware: 1.5.
build: 2.73
software: 1.0.0.A6288
Could someone tell me which the actual Android SDK version I will require is?
Just treat it as a Hero. Forget the T-Mobile nonsense.
Mine is technically a G2 Touch.

You only *require* the SDK if you wish to develop applications for the phone.
Nowadays, you download the SDK starter package, and then add "platforms" for the various versions of Android that you may wish to target. Currently available platforms are 1.5, 1.6 and 2.1.
Unless you are running a custom ROM, your Hero will be running Android 1.5, so you need the Android 1.5 platform.

Thanks. Yes I have several versions of platform installed. I was confused as to which version was on my phone.
android 1.5 is SDK 3
simple enough answer

I have some questions on .Net CF.
Currently my O2 XDA Flame is having v1.0.
Many Apps using v2.0 and even v3.5 Beta cannot be used.
I have download them both v2.0 & v3.5 Beta, but not sure which to use,
1. Can I jump from v1.0 to v3.5 Beta and v2.0 Apps will still work with v3.5 Beta?
2. Each version normally comes with PPC & WM Version, which should I use?
3. For O2 XDA Flame, should I use the ARM version or which version?
4. I cannot find the cab of v1.0, I am looking for it in case I want to downgrade. I only found the Sevice Pack 3 for developer version. I know I can also do a uninstall or a hard reset or do a restore from backup to get back v1.0.
You can have multiple versions of the .NET CF installed if you want. When a program runs, it will attempt to load the version it was compiled against. If that version is not available, it will attempt to load the highest version that is available, and hopefully it will be compatible with the app.
For example, if you run an app that was designed for framework version 1.1, and you have 2.0 and 3.5 installed, 3.5 will get loaded.
As for locating and installing the different frameworks, I can't be much help, except to suggest that, if an app you have didn't install the version it wants, you might be able to download the correct version by looking at the microsoft mobile website.

Thank you for answer Q1 & Q4.
Do you have an answer for Q2 & Q3?
Took the courage to install NetCfV3.5Beta WM Version and manage to get downloaded Apps (SimpleOS) to work.
Without installing NetCfV2, direct from Flame's NetCfV1 to NetCfV3.5Beta, download Apps (TouchFlo3D, needed at least NetCfV2) works with NetCfV3.5Beta.
yeah .net is backward compatible
but with beta's it's not always the case
.net2 had issues with some .net1.1 stuff
in it's beta's

Which ROM are you running?
Isn't this a known issue with 2.2? I think there are fixes for the market floating around.

You must mean the stock 2.1 Android ROM. "Droid" is the name Verizon has given to a line of their Android phones.
Have you seen this thread, specifically post #8?
I can understand different manufactures wanting to put there own little spin on android for there devices to distingush them from others. But why can't I, If I choose to, just install whatever is the latest stock version of Android on my device?
Is Android so fragmented that there is no way for Google to release a standerd version of the OS that we can install and have whatever drivers we need downloaded/pushed to the device so that it will just work?
Just wondering
android is a system built to run on many different processors and other hardware specs and because it is a mobile os it would take up tonnes of space to include all the drivers for every hardware.
there for manufactures have to build their own kernel and drivers run the android virtual machine on top of that
and manufactures for some reason like to put their own spin on it to try and differentiate from other manufactures. as Andy Rubin said its a feature that android can look so different and the apps still work
and androids not that fragmented any more most of the devices are running 2.x
so basically you cant just install android because it is built to be device specific.
if you want you can hope a cyanogen mod is made for your device thats the closest you will get to stock
hope that helps
In "about phone" I find that my Defy is:
Firmware version: 2.1-update1. Is this in fact the Android OS version installed?
Build Number: JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1 Is this in fact what in this forum is referred to as the phone's firmware version?
I ask this because do far I have seen firmware version only referred to as 2.51.1 and such. It seems very improtant to know before attempting to root the phone.
Yes, I've tried to find the answer elsewhere, no luck
Thanx to anyone with an asnwer!
Peter
Yes, 2.51.1 refers to the build number - there is no Android version 2.5[xxx]
All 2.51.1 ROMs are based on Android version 2.1/Éclair.
2.2/Froyo ROMs all have build numbers along the lines of 3.[xxx]

Thanks for clearing that up!
Root Achieved
Thanks for the advice.
1st I needed to download the Moto Tools (Moto Driver Installation).
I ran 1.7 of SuperOneClick but it kept freezing waiting for Device after appearing to push RageAgainstTheCage to the Defy. After trying numerous times with 1.7 and turning on/off debugging at certain places, I tried 1.3 of SuperOneClick and that worked right away.
Appreciate all the help!
Im sorry if im being Dumb here.
I of course wish to upgrade my HTC Desire (info below) to the most latest version of android possible.
Im googleing the issue, but (androidcommunity dot com) said that it broke camera and other functions.
Since T-Mobile UK / HTC wont upgrade the phone any more. Is their any WORKING rom I can upgrade to?
Id prefer a default or fully functioning ROM, as I do use it for work. It'd me much appreciated if you can point me in the right direction.
Phone: HTC Desire
Network: T-Mobile UK
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Kernel: 2.6.32.15-gd96f2c0
Build No: 2.12.110.4
Software No: 2.12.110.4

You can root your phone using unrevoked, partition your sd card using gparted and flash any rom you want to. Follow this guide, its very helpful to new users:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084
Then search in Desire Android Development for a rom that suits your needs. They pretty much all have working camera etc so don't worry about that.

By the way using the search feature would have found that for you. Always search before posting a thread.

the noob-proof guide really helps, just follow the instructions carefully and you will be fine...i used it and now i am running coolexe's aces v3 which is great and stable! good luck.
wow, I know that guide is noob proof but it not very simple, with having to change drivers and even burning ISO's.
I thought android was more open than iOS - yet on apple theirs software that does it within a few clicks.
I appreciate it nether the less, will try it tomorrow - sounds like it will need my full attention.
you don't have to burn any iso's. you can go to alpharev.nl instead and use fastboot commander to flash the hboot for the rom (depends on which rom and what hboot it needs. if you already s-off'd your device and your hboot was upgraded you can use the downgrade package on alpharev and then upgrade again to whatever you like).
Or if u want something very stable and without bugs you could just root with unrevoked (very easy just a few clicks with the mouse) and then flash an aosp rom like oxygen so u don't have to use Gparted and iso stuff!!! Think about it
Changing drivers and burning iso is simple, if you follow the guide its about as ready as it gets.. Even for first time users. If you can read you can do it.
PS.. Its neither apple or Android software that unlocks the phones, its developers etc that provide the software that uses cracks in the security features of the handsets to unlock.
PPS.. Android is more open than apple, as in Android is completely open source and apple is completely closed source. It has nothing to do with the ability to unlock the handsets. Its all about Android sharing the code freely.
