CyanogenMod is a customized, aftermarket firmware distribution for the HTC Dream and Magic cell phones, and the Google Nexus One.

Based on the open-source Android operating system, CyanogenMod is designed to increase performance and reliability over Android-based ROMs , such as FLAC Lossless Audio, multi-touch support, the ability to store applications on the microSD card, and support for tethering.

Here are the steps I followed to get my ADP1 installed with Cyanogen mod.

– Backup your data if required, this steps will completely erase your mobile applications and settings.

Step 1:
Create a source directory:
$ mkdir ~/cyanogen
$cd ~/cyanogen

Download fastboot to your computer:
Refer this url to get the correct fastboot.
HTC Developer site

Download the latest compatible version of Cyanogenmod:
$ wget http://cyanogenmod.com/download/recovery/cm-recovery-1.4.img

Step 2:
Boot the android device in fastboot mode.
To enter fastboot mode, reboot the device while holding down the BACK key.

Once it is in to fast boot mode, flash the Cyanogen recovery image:

$ cd ~/cyanogen
$ ./fastboot-mac flash recovery cm-recovery-1.4.img
sending ‘recovery’ (4002 KB)… OKAY
writing ‘recovery’… OKAY

Then place the phone in to flash boot mode

$ ./fastboot-mac boot cm-recovery-1.4.img
downloading ‘boot.img’… OKAY
booting… OKAY
$ adb shell mount -a
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
$ adb shell
/ # mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.disabled

Reboot back to fastboot mode.

$ ./fastboot-mac flash recovery ../cm-recovery-1.4.img
sending ‘recovery’ (4002 KB)… OKAY
writing ‘recovery’… OKAY

$ ./fastboot-mac reboot

Download the Android 1.6 Recovery Image (signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip) if dont have:
From HTC (or) android website – This is just to get the adp tool

Download the latest CyanogenMod ROM for your device:
Dream (G1): Latest version (stable)
update-cm-4.2.14.1-signed.zip

Export the CyanogenMod ROM to SD card.
$ adb push update-cm-4.2.14.1-signed.zip /sdcard/update-cm-4.2.14.1-signed.zip


But this was not working properly for me, for some reason the adb tool was not able to detect the device. So i just copied it over.


$ cp update-cm-4.2.14.1-signed.zip /Volumes/SDCARD/

* no need for this step if adb tool worked

Now are all set to install:

– Turn your phone off.
– Get in to recovery mode my holding Home button while booting
– select wipe data/factory reset and press home to confirm.
– select apply any zip from sd
– Pick signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip.
– Press home to confirm and wait for installation to complete
– select apply any zip from sd again
– Pick update-cm-4.2.14.1-signed.zip.
– Press home to confirm and wait for installation to complete

– reboot

That is it!

1. Gain root access on your device.
2. Install the android-wifi-tether application, which can be found at http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/.
3. Configure the application to work with either Bluetooth or wireless connections.
4. Upon configuration, you’ll see the hotspot’s SSID, allowing you to connect to it and access the internet on your other devices.

Please note that if you’re using a kernel without the netfilter module, you may encounter issues with NAT (Network Address Translation), causing DNS to function but HTTP/HTTPS to fail. To overcome this, you can follow these additional steps:

5. Install the Proxoid application.
6. Configure Proxoid as a proxy on your devices, enabling you to start browsing seamlessly.

By following these steps, you can make web browsing on your Android device through a 3G connection a reality.

adb shell
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/bin
cat sh > su

We’ve put together a simple guide to help you get started. So, let’s dive right in!

1. Install Eclipse: The first thing you’ll need is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). For the best experience, we recommend opting for either the Java version or the RCP (Rich Client Platform) version of Eclipse.

2. Download Android SDK: The Android Software Development Kit (SDK) is a must-have toolkit for Android app development.

3. Create a .bash_profile: If you don’t already have a .bash_profile in your home directory, create one. This file will be used to configure important environment variables, which are essential for a smooth development experience.

4. Start Eclipse: Launch Eclipse and head over to the menu. You’ll want to navigate to Help > Software Updates > Add Site.

5. Enter the URL: In the dialog that pops up, enter the following URL: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/. After inputting the URL, click the “Finish” button.

6. Install Developer Tools: With the site added, you can now see the Developer tools listed. Select and install the Developer tools from this window.

7. Restart Eclipse: Once the installation is complete, it’s important to restart Eclipse. This ensures that all the configurations and changes are properly applied.

8. Connect Your Phone: Finally, connect your Android phone to your computer. With everything set up, you’re now ready to test your Android applications directly on your device.

I initially attempted to use the BSNL (Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited) APN (Access Point Name) details, but it proved to be a futile effort. Officially, no provider was willing to support Android phones for internet connectivity.

However,  I managed to get the internet up and running on my HTC G1 by manually inputting the APN details for my Airtel connection.

Here’s what I did:

APN Configuration Details for Airtel:

• Name: Airtel (This can be any name you prefer)
• APN: airtelgprs.com
• Proxy: 202.56.231.117
• Port: 8080
• Username: <Not Set>
• Password: <Not Set>
• Server: <Not Set>
• MMSC: <Not Set>
• MMS Proxy: <Not Set>
• MMS Port: <Not Set>
• MCC: 404
• MNC: 95
• APN Type: <Not Set>

Manually configuring these settings allowed to successfully connect the HTC G1 to the internet via the Airtel connection.
