Unhappy Compiling & replacing framework.jar
A couple of weeks ago, I picked up a used G1 from craigslist, and I really like it. However, I was disappointed to find out that it won't work with my university's WiFi system. I did some searching and came up with issue 1597 on the android google code page (apparently I can't post a link yet). Post 45 on that thread explains the fix, and since it seems fairly easy to apply to the Android source and google won't release it for who knows how long, I decided to do it myself. However, getting it onto the device has been a real problem. These two threads (which I can't link to either):
t=476563 and t=629551
lead me to believe that I can essentially compile the android source, push the new framework.jar to the device, and the fix will be in place.
I eventually got it to compile, but when I try to install it, It just hangs on the G1 screen. I've tried building it on Ubuntu 9.10 and OS X Snow Leopard using the sources from 2.1 and 1.6 and installing it on King Eclair and BlueMagic Donut (the stock firmware lasted maybe 6 seconds after I got it), and I'm getting the same results, even if I just build the source unmodified. I've probably tweaked and recompiled it 20 times now, and am about ready to lose my mind. I think every time I've gotten at least one error from certain jni libraries not compiling properly, but I've assumed that since they appear to be just for the device, not the system I'm building on, and all I need is the jar file, which should be relatively independent, that isn't important. I'm willing to try a stock rom on my device if that's what I need to do, but I'd like to believe that Android isn't so fragile that I can't use an essentially stock framework with a tweaked rom. Maybe that's not the case, though.

The logcat from my most recent attempt (Currently running BlueMagic) is attached. Everything after the second "AndroidRuntime START" will repeat forever until the phone is rebooted. I've also attached my patched SslCertificate.java and the latest framework.jar I've built from the 1.6 source, if it's any help. I realize the changes I've made to SslCertificate.java might not solve the problem (IMHO the patch description wasn't as clear as it could have been), but if I could actually get something that I've compiled to just run on my device, I think debugging it would be relatively trivial.

I'm not an idiot, I understand most of what's going on here and I've spent a lot of time reading, searching and trying to do this myself, and have attempted to demonstrate that in this post. I am relatively new to Android, but I have been trying to learn as much as I can about it. I don't think this should be so difficult, and I'm really stuck at this point. I assume I'm missing something obvious. If anyone with experience compiling and tweaking Android can spare the time, any advice would be appreciated.
