How to root Android G1 with Cupcake and AppstoSD

18-Jun-09

[Update] – Fixed the DREAIMG.nbh link,  it should now work fine – tested it this time.  Thanks @Doshin!
This is the instructions that ended up working flawlessly to root my G1, install JesusFreke’s 1.51 T-Mobile US ROM,  and setup AppstoSD.  I must’ve wiped my phone about a half-dozen times and spent ridiculous amounts of time trying [...]

Installing Java x64 in Ubuntu

22-Feb-09

Download jre-6u14-linux-x64.bin jre-6u12-linux-x64.bin (hosted locally)
mkdir /usr/lib/jvm (might already exist)
sudo mv jre-6u14-linux-x64.bin /usr/lib/jvm/
cd /usr/lib/jvm/
sudo chmod a+x jre-6u14-linux-x64.bin
sudo ./jre-6u14-linux-x64.bin
sudo rm -r /usr/lib/jvm/jre-6u14-linux-x64.bin
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.6.0_14/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so /usr/lib64/firefox-addons/plugins/
killall firefox

Installing Adobe Flash Player in Ubuntu 8.10 x64

27-Jan-09

Gotta love reinstalling… a friend just sent me a Youtube link and I completely forgot that I didn’t have flash.

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
killall firefox

Started Firefox back up again and was able to click the link he sent me – viewed just fine. Love how easy it is in this version of Ubuntu.

Checking Ubuntu boot times

26-Jan-09

Occasionally it’s fun to waste some time shooting your friends and unfortunately Ubuntu just isn’t up to speed when it comes to gaming – so I dual boot into a stripped Vista installation.  I’d like to make switching back and forth as quick as possible.
First thing I did was go and get Bootchart, “a tool [...]

Installing xchat with mircryption in Ubuntu x64 & i386

x64 instructions:

sudo apt-get install xchat
wget http://mircryption.sourceforge.net/Downloads/mircryption_xchatsrc.zip
wget http://voobar.follvalsch.de/files/mcps_xchat_0.4.0-alpha.tar.bz2
unzip mircryption_xchatsrc.zip
tar -xvf mcps_xchat_0.4.0-alpha.tar.bz2 -C /src
cd /src/mcps_xchat_0.4.0-alpha
mv Makefile ../ && mv dh1080 ../ && mv mircryption.cpp ../
cd ..

Ran into this error on install and realized I hadn’t installed a compiler since reinstallation. There actually is no readme.txt and no .so file was created.
Trying to install mircryption.so into ~/.xchat2 [...]
