Encrypted by the name, this is a non-office Spotify client.
I would love to comment, but I don’t have a premium account, therefore cannot use.
Anybody out there who will lend me their username and password?
Not really worth the shot.
I’m currently running Cyanogen’s stable ROM build, so I’m not sure whether this stuff is stock or not, but….
I just noticed there is a find button in the options menu. So you can search for text.
I also found out (via the mighty web) that cut and paste is just a shift click touch and drag opperation.
Gazooks!
After a weekend of comparing my G1 with my brother’s HTC Hero, I was impressed at the speed of his phone compared to my older G1
Being the interlectual that he is, he hadn’t crammed as many applications the phone would allow, leaving enough room for the phone to breathe.
As the processor is the same, the speed improvements can only be memory related (proved by cleaning the browser cache from 0K to 9MB and actually being able to make phone calls again).
As the Android platform only allows apps to be run off the Phone memory (not SD), I decided to investigate into A2SD, which lets rooted phones run apps from a special EXT2 partition on the SD card.
Well after a night of wrestling with partitioning the card to have both FAT32 and EXT2 which the G1 would actually read (I think it may have been a size issue), I decided to run a stable build of Cyanogen, leaving the JesusFreke behind.
The amazing thing is that, the build has somehow, magically kept all my apps and moved them to the EXT2 partition, leaving the phone memory almost empty. This at first glance seems to mean that the phone is now running like it means business and everything happens without any lag!
I’ll cane the phone in the next couple of days and keep an eye on the speeds!
This weekend I had a really slow phone.
It turns out that after a load of browsing and application stalling, I had 0 memory left on the phone. Subsequesntly, the phone ran like a dawg and the best solution was to wipe out the browser cache and uninstall a couple of useless unused apps
Part of the Cupcake update consisted of a new radio thingy from htc. Not reading up what it was all about and just doing as I was told, the radio update was done.
Well it looks as if the radio update is a corker, as it looks as if I don’t have to run upstairs or go outside to make a phone call.
Or the weather has changed and blowing the radiowaves into the house!
Tonight I upgraded my G1 with cupcake. Usually there are few updates and there is nothing to write home about, however….
Cupcake has brought the G1 into a proper phone/interface.
It looks slicker, things seem to run quicker and the bluetooth now supports stereo headphones.
Impressed with the Nokia phone holder. I decided to make one for my G1 out of 1 of 1000 unused floppy disks I have.
Tired of having all the power of an Android in my pocket and not being able to use it all because of restrictions has prompted me to take the plunge and root my G1.
Like the first time you type format c: I was a little neverous as I still have best part of 13 months on my contract and the last thing I need was to pay T-Mobile for a brick.
Anyway. Following instructions from the internet, I am now writing this on my Rooted G1 with Rc9 by JesusFreke.
I also have Google latitude thanks to GeekYouUp and a wifi tether, not that I have a laptop powerful enough to enjoy it.
It turns out that the UK gov has put the brakes on Google Latitude being enabled on my Google phone.
As suspected, after the uproar of Google Street View invading our privacy it is no surprise that Latitude has scared people to know where we are.
Of course anyone who knows me knows where I work and where I live and if I do anything dodgey, I’ll either not take my phone with me or switch it off.
Well, happy as can be that my phone has decided to update to RC9.
Now I’ll be able to find my friends using their Nokias, SEs and windows mobiles running google latitude.
I’ll be able to use by Bluetooth headphones I got for my old SE W880i
I might even use the voice dialling while I’m driving so I don’t kill myself and others trying to find contacts in the phone book.
Well, it looks like I may have to wait a little longer or indefinately, as the update contains nothing which will improve my phone experience.
Latitude is in Google Maps app, but is disable for UK (and europe?) users.
I’ll have to still use the wired, too big for my ears headphones which came with the phone as stereo bluetooth isn’t enabled.
And look out if you see me staring at my crotch when I’m driving, as voice activation hasn’t arrived.
On the plus side, The Market now tells me when applications have updates. A bit like aTrackDog app. So good for me, not so good for the aTrackDog developers.
