I got the Cupcake update on Friday. My g/f 's phone still hasn't updated to it though. lol
She's a little upset about that.

I went through and cleared off all of my applications though, and just reloaded them on there. I'm not gonna pay for power manager, I know what that does now and I can do the same thing. Other then that, I love the fact they added video. (Albeit the camera isn't that good, but it's better then nothing)

Manually update=same thing btw.


I gave in and rooted my phone..I did it for the new Hero build...but Linux is being extremely homo on formatting my SD card...so I'm currently rolling with the Google Ion build...which is basically a faster cupcake.(Speed of the phone is faster). If you know what the G2 is...I believe the Google Ion is just the G2's build ported to the G1.I haven't ran into any errors so I'm pretty happy about that.


Anyways, what would be the best way to partition a 2gb SD card? With 1 700mb partition=EXT2, and the rest of it FAT32.

What program* should I use is what I'm really asking...

I am now an Owner of the beautiful G1. I have not had ANY problems with this phone since I have gotten it. I am a very picky person when it comes to technology.. Look at my Rig lol. Anyway, If i had to choose a single word for this phone it would have to be SMOOTH. very smooth transitioning between apps and very smooth gui and very well made phone

I literally just ordered my phone, got the white one with the 600minute plan + unlimited web and text. cant wait til it gets here!

I partitioned everything from my terminal using sdsplit. Directions on how to do this can be found on this link. This will require a rooted phone with su permissions of course. Pretty straight forward stuff. As for the space, I have 8gb class 6 split in to 7.5g fat32 and 500~ in ext3. It's more than I'll ever need and you can go less even.

to all of you soon to be G1 owners good choice on an amazing phone. i love mine. they are sweet. i just got the original doom for my G1.. yes the game. i played for like 2 hours. haha.

if anyone does not have the cupcake 1.5 update pm me and i have it. as far as getting power manager. the free version is on torrents. the full free version. i use advanced task manager to close uneeded programs. works amazingly well but after june ends it will also be a dollar. that is the first app i paid for..

potatochip. what does partitioning ur sd card do for ya?? i have an 8GB class 6 as well. if i can benefit from doing that then i will.

enjoy ur G1's everyone!

I figured out what my errors were. Partitioned it with Ubuntu.

After you root(if you do) you can save all of your apps to your SD card. When you have a 8gb c6....it only makes sense
