What happened to The New Guy 6 thread??

I just did this earlier today with Desire Z, lol, this is not my day.
Where did The New Guy thread go with the newest version 6?
I told my buddy at work today I'd update his phone from version 5 to version 6...and now it's gone.
Any help?

MODS - What's the deal?
I'm wondering the same.
EDIT: You can download 6 from ROM Manager. Download ROM -> Androidz.

Ah. Thanks! I overlooked that.

I don't know, but I can't even pm the rom author. maybe he's been removed or something...

WTF??? MODS?!
this was my rom of choice, where the f*** did it go?

All I know is I flashed the camera remap for Rosie And it caused my phone to not load the htc system twice. It is in rom manager.
sent from my Incredible using Tapa Talk

yeah i PM him about the launcher dock and hulu and he responded back then not even 15 min later the thread was gone...????

Says that his account is currently disabled.

He's built up a fairly solid reputation of taking other devs' work and claiming it as his own over on the eris forums. He had made a number of new accounts to avoid the ban, and I guess eventually he just moved to the Incredible with a new username.
But whenever he was banned from xda he would keep posting updates to his roms over on androidforums.com, maybe you guys can find him there.

Hmmm...yeah I always wondered why the ROM was under Andrizoid's name, but under some random guy's name here.
Also, pretty sure the thread is missing from AndroidForums.com also.

Awesome!
myn's two point two has been my daily rom since the two of you posted it, can't wait for an update

So, jdkor and new guy were twins? There is way too much intrigue on these forums for a 42 yr old guy like trying to make his toys better. Guess, I will stick to the trusted few going forward - ID, Lou, RMK, NIX, ifhtp.

By the way while we are on the topic, whats the story with "Blackdroid"? I use his ultimate droid ROM [see my sig] (pretty spectacular AOSP ROM to be honest). Apparently he went tellytubby byebye from xda too for something? What did he do?

Long story short: it's just cyanogenmod with a skin.

He had Swype built into it, against forum rules.

MIUI

um, I was just on the XDA mobile app this afternoon, saw that someone had released a miui rom with an english patch for the g2, and linked the main website for stock rom details, so I figured I'd wait till I got home, and now the thread is gone? I can't be that fuked up, I was on the subway, and lost data link

Wasn't working so they closed the thread.

Close away!!

I had a feeling that the Rom wasnt gonna work. Everyone who flashed had the same problems I did 2 weeks ago. So far ive gotten a clean install with no errors but not boot. Which means kernel swaps from miui ports won't work. you have to build one.
I am the only one I believe who is actually working on this port. I won't release anything that won't boot, I've made lots of ports with 4 different kernels and they all do the same, which is not booting.
Currently learning to build g2 kernel from source so I can get port goin. If u guys wanna follow me hit me up @brownboyrx.
@gridlock32404 is helping me so if u know him, then u know I'm not joking. I really wanna get miui on g2 for me and everyone, stay tuned.

From what I've seen with Miui, there are several different themes. iPhone theme just happens to be one of them.

There's a lot I like and a lot I don't like about MIUI, but I think MIUI with ADW could be quite nice. I also like dev's that post bootable shiz.

Miui is a ROM built by a group of dedicated Chinese Android developers and was intended to be used in China to show off the Android platform. It was accidently discovered by a user over at the N1 forum some months ago and news of the discovery spreaded like wildfire overnight within the Android community. Since then Miui has been enjoyed and ported to a number of popular Android devices. Miui was ahead of it's time in terms of features, look and funtionality, it was repsonsible for the working of the radio on both the N1 and Desire running stock based vanilla ROM's. It has the best bits of Android and iphone and offers a very unique user experience, on a personal level the UI is intuiative yet beautiful. If you can get past the iphony look then am sure you'll enjoy this ROM if not then using a 3rd party launcher will get rid of most of the iphone look. The ROM is quick and stable and is updated every Friday at 3pm China time.
Check it out on their official website and be sure to use google translate as it's in Chinese;
http://www.miui.com/index.php
English forum;
http://miui-dev.com/

That was a great synopsis above.
The key points of MIUI:
It is Faster
Universal Themes
I still love Cyanogen too. My nexus runs MIUI and G2 Cyan. Good mix.

Yeah that's miui, yes it is very ios like. But the speed enhancements are ridiculous, and that's what I'm looking for.

I started porting today and it boots up. But if I start any app and want to go back to homescreen I get a flickering screen. I have to disable the screen and enable it again. Then it doesn't show the unlock screen, just the statusbar (without clock) and the wallpaper. But if I touch the screen on the unlock position it vibrates. But it doesn't unlock. For unlocking I have to open and close the keyboard. After that the statusbar disapears and doesn't show up anymore until I restart.
http://pastebin.com/cnVFF9WF
Guess the main problem is because of this
Code:
I/WindowManager( 1520): Out of memory for surface! Looking for leaks...
But I don't know what I can do to prevent this.
Kernel is the latest one from CyanogenMod. Many other things work like bluetooth, radio, camera, torch, wlan...
With LPP it works alot better but there are still many bugs like the unlock screen not showing up...

Well thanks very much.

I don't think you can do anything but just email the developer! Unless you know the dude's personal cell phone or anything, no one on here can do much for you dude! In my personal experience in dealing with these like this, I always did a nandroid backup and flashed the rom again along with the gaaps again and as crazy as that sounds.....it works like 75 of the time...lol....GOOD LUCK AND HOPEFULLY YOU CAN GET A REPLY SOON!!

I just figured he is a member here. Ill try nand Ive got and see if it works. I figured Lic. would have stayed with program with just updates? Stanger things have happened.

Cerberus security app wont take pic of potential theif (market version)

hey guys, I just bought Cerberus! (The beta 2.0 works perfect btw link provided in another post below this post)
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lsdroid.cerberus&hl=en
Seriously awesome security application for Android.
Tried the beta for GNEX a few weeks ago, worked perfect, had it on Eagleblood ROM. Bought it today, now Im on AOPK Milestone 2 ROM, everything works perfect except it wont take pictures of potential thief when I do the the pin code or swipe lock wrong.
Anyone with AOPK M2 have Cerberus and have success?
Just to clarify, https://www.cerberusapp.com/ everything works on the security end like tracking, sending messages and locking the phone etc through the website. Only thing that wont work is snapshot of thief when code done wrong at lock screen.

Try asking Roman directly in his thread.. he is usually very good with getting back to people + he's a friendly guy! Try the thread on RW though....

update!
Just tried the old beta 2.0 apk and it works fine. (picture snapping of potential thief)
so its the market version that has issue.
I emailed Cerberus support about this.
Gonna stick with the 2.0 beta cerberus for now!

NP. Best security app really.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17156337/Cerberus.apk for the ICS beta, in case you cant get the front facing cam to take pics of potential thief. (only problem im having)
all works perfect in the beta link i provided.
Let me know if the market version works for you in that problem Im having.
If it works for you then its gotta be just a bug which the support team is aware of and should fix it soon.

HTC G1 Upgrade... NO SOLUTION!!

I am at my witts end with this stupid phone. I am trying so hard to find an actual download for the android 1.5 cupcake update. I have been looking for two days straight. All I want to do is to get android 1.5 cupcake on this phone and googles link for the update has been gone for a while. I have seen MANY successful attempts at upgrading without root... Its as simple as renaming the file to update, dropping it in the sd card and rebooting with home + power button and hitting alt+L and alt+S and boom thats it...
Does ANYONE have a solution or better yet... a link to a working download of android 1.5 cupcake so that I can upgrade this phone? I am desperate. Thanks so much.

download link for 1.5
ok so here is a guide to unbrick a HTC G1....not exactly what you asked for, but bear with me. ---code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/Unbrick--- (apparently I can't post links due to me being a new user)
in this guide towards the bottom of the page, there are several link to the different android versions for the G1 and they are all good links...I used this guide myself, so I know it is solid.
take the time and read through this guide so that you will be better able to choose the files you want to download.
let me know if this helps (or if it doesn't)
Thanks
charlie

hey I really do appreciate the link. I will check it out and pray to God that I can get some success. With this phone the ONLY desire that I have is to get the camcorder anyway. I know there are alot of other nice features but if its this ahrd to do and I was able to get just the camcorder I would probably be stoked.
In the event anyone else reads this and has some feedback or a working link to a download of the 1.5 cupcake (even the UK download) I would be thankful. From what I have seen even people that used the UK download were able to get it working WITHOUT root in all of 2 minutes which is fantastic... If only I had a working download for it. Unfortunately google decided to take it down permanently and every time I do a search with google or yahoo, ALL the links for a download are to the google site which doesn't work.
So, if ANYONE has any help with this I would truly appreciate it because I am literally at my witts end. And charltonstanley... Once again, thanks alot and I will chec out the link of yours. I really appreciate the reply.

You're Welcome
You're welcome!
Like I said before, the links are towards the very bottom of that page.
I believe that with these, you can achieve your goal to make this phone a camcorder. But why not go all the way to 1.6 stock? Why stop at 1.5? The last download link on the website link That I posted is 1.6 stock. just use that one.
I do however believe that you MUST start flashing from android 1.0 and move down the list. I believe for one to work you have to have the others---at least that is what my experience was.
My recommendation is that you follow this guide completely EVEN IF your phone isn't bricked. That is what I did with my non-bricked G1 and everything works perfectly! No regrets!
Let me know if you need more help.
There are several more websites that I know of that have more tools that will help you recover your phone to stock, it just depends on your circumstances.

I uploaded this a couple years ago and apparently it still has seeders. http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4910197/Official_USA_T-Mobile_Cupcake_Android_1.5_Image_for_G1

I'm sure I'm not the only one who sees the elephant in the room... OP!!! Why u no root!?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

i will definitely try that charlton. I am going to give that a try tomorrow once I get home from work and I will let u know hjow it goes or if I need any help.i really appreciate it. and I will go with 1.6 I just wasnt aware that 1.6 was even released for the g1. is it 1.6 donut?
benmarvin, thanks alot I appreciate the link and if this first solution doesnt work I will go to your link. Out of curiosity (because your post didnt say fr sure) is your link to 1.5 cupcake and if so is it USA or UK version that just gets dropped in sd card and renamed to update and yada yada yada?
flying fox the reason is because I do not have a huge amount of experience with rooting phones. I rooted two of my cellphones before but it always seems like something goes wrong and I feel that I dont FULLY understand or maybe I just dont trust myself to attempt root and bricking the phone when theres the possibility of doing it simply by dropping it in renaming the file restarting and hitting alt + l and alt + s. I just figure that was the easiest route. If someone had skype and was willing to step me through it now thats a different story .
Thanks to everyone and any more feedback is appreciated! dont stop with the answers! hah
