A new release
August 29, 2009of smali/baksmali. (no, not a new rom :p)
Calling it quits
August 20, 2009I’ve decided to call it quits on the whole rom making thing. As I’m sure you’ve noticed, I haven’t done much work on the rom lately anyway, not to mention the way overdue CRC1 rom that I never got out. I’ll still be around of course, working on smali and hanging out on freenode. But I just don’t have enough interest in doing rom work anymore to continue.
OTAs in JFv1.51
July 19, 2009If you are on the US or EU versions of JFv1.51, you’ll likely get an OTA update notification soon, if you haven’t already. I had accidentally left in the otacerts.zip file, which allows OTAs to be downloaded and verified.
For now, there are a few possible work arounds.
1. delete the otacerts.zip file manually. The file is at /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip But keep in mind if you use this method your phone will continuously re-down the OTA and try to verify it, which is bad on your bandwidth usage and your battery life
2. Replace /system/build.prop on your phone with the one from the ADP1 version of JFv1.51
3. chmod 000 the OTA file in /cache (unconfirmed solution, but is likely to work)
Or you can ignore the popups for now, and wait for my new release based on the new update (CRC1). I promise to “disable” the OTA mechanisms in a better way than simply deleting otacerts.zip 
. I should be able to get something out soon (next few days)
In the meantime, even if you accidentally hit “accept” on the popup, it won’t be able to install the update when it gets into recovery, so you aren’t at risk of losing root access.
smali v0.9!
June 7, 2009After lots and lots of work, the first release of smali (dex assembler) is out finally!
JFv1.51 Quickfix for Multitouch Browser issue
May 25, 2009The browser in the US and UK versions of JFv1.51 have an issue where multi-touch doesn’t work. This issue does not affect the ADP version. You can fix this issue yourself easily.
JFv1.51 images are out!
May 24, 2009I’ve released a new set of images based on the US/ADP/EU versions of CRB43.
When is your 1.5 coming out?
May 1, 2009The official 1.5 firmware is here finally!
April 27, 2009HTC has quietly added the 1.5 firmware for the G1 to their firmware page. You can grab it at http://www.htc.com/www/support/android/adp.html
Yes, I’m still here.
April 14, 2009Those crazy guys over at xda-dev have been asking where I am. I’m still around . I’ve stopped visiting xda-dev on a regular basis, mainly due to the high volume of posts there now. I just can’t keep up with it any more.
