Is it a requirement for the G1 to have an SDCard in order to use ODK?
Can this be changed?
it's a requirement. you need some place to save the data for the forms
and the multimedia. the g1's internal storage isn't really suitable.

One small thing. Is it just unsuitable? or impossible. Could we get it to
work?
Is there a version of ODK that didn't require the SD-Card? I have one
"testimony" about ODK once working without an SD Card - using the default
server URL (open-data-kit.appspot...). I haven't been able to reproduce
this, but is there a reason why it would work with the default server URL
but not with a custom one?

I am also wondering why it works for the sample surveys from ODK
server, but not from other servers.

get a lot of space. on the g1, the partition you can write to is about
76mb and add a few applications to the phone or videos or pictures and
you are done. this is why it's best practice in android to use
external storage -- especially since sd cards are very cheap.
that said, it is possible to switch to internal storage (see the
constants file), but we haven't tested that. since internal storage
doesn't allow normal paths, you may run into issues with the rest of
the code as written.
i can't think of a reason why it would work with one instance of
aggregate versus another. maybe in really old versions of collect this
may have been possible, but i don't recall. what version of collect
and aggregate are giving you this problem? maybe you can use
dpaste.com to post a stack trace of the collect when you try to
download the forms?

You can't actually use the
camera application (for images or video) without an SDCard in the phone.
Everything else could still work if you changed the storage path, but you'd
lose the ability to capture images and video with no SDCard.
Collect currently won't let you do anything without an SD Card, so my guess
is you're using an old version of ODK. I'd recommend that you upgrade to
the latest and greatest.
When you say 'other servers', are you talking about an instance of aggregate
that you set up yourself? or something else?

Yes, by other servers I meant an instance of aggregate that we set up
to store our surveys.
If using SD Card is required to use ODK, I suggest to add it in the
main page of project as part of requirements to make sure users are
aware of it. Nowhere it clearly mentions SDCard is mandatory.

The server has no idea about whether or not a sim
card is present. Those types of issues are totally ODK Collect issue. There
might be two separate issues you are hitting.
