thankyou
[Miscellaneous Android Development] einsteinecker:
I will try to replicate this later. What headphones have you been using (headphone + mic, headphone only)?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] einsteinecker:
Okay, I've done this exact same thing, but my audio still works. I've also loaded several apps while playing music, going so far as to overload the RAM with too much apps forcing others to close, and audio still works.

If the difference is not our headphones, the only things I can think of are:

-Which part of my newest upload did you try? The whole Android folder, or just one of the files?

-I used my fastest MicroSD to test this, which is a Class 10 UHS-1 16GB Sandisk branded card. That might be the key difference. I will try slower cards later.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giorgi-geo:
I didn't use headphones at all.and audio seems to die when I play music, or use any app with sound, then stop it and wait a few minutes. After this usually no audio comes from the phone. But to prevent this I can start music and another app with sound together and after this everything's all right. so it's not that big of a deal

I tried the whole folder.

it's class 4 16gb
[Miscellaneous Android Development] einsteinecker:
Hi, so I've tried what I could to replicate this problem using my Class 4 4GB Micro SD, and I can't seem to have audio problems at all, going so far as to crash a game and audio still worked :eek: For a while now, I've highly suspected 2 things: it's either a difference in hardware, or the Windows Mobile OS. As you might know already, my current Fathom was donated by pizzaboy, using his custom ROM. My previous Fathom was running Stock Verizon V5, which had a whole bunch of problems, especially the overheating. The only way we can pinpoint the problem is if another phone is tested with pizzaboy's custom rom. My observations with Android on the HD2 also explains why chefs recommend a certain ROM when booting into Android. I wouldn't be surprised if that is also the case with the Fathom.

Now, one other bit I've been meaning to share with everyone, recently my Nintendo DS Lite met it's end after 7 years of faithful service, so I was pretty distraught until I remembered the DS emulator for Android. Guess what? It actually runs great on our Fathom! Even better, any game that does not rely on 3D graphics is perfectly fine on our Fathom (with sound enabled!), which is a huge portion of the DS library, and the best part is: our Fathom's are practically the only Android phone besides the Samsung Galaxy Note line with precise stylus input, making DS gaming even more exciting!! I even tried mapping keys using the hardware keyboard, perfect in every way :victory:

If you are interested in playing Nintendo DS games on your Fathom, you'll need:

-Cyanogenmod November 26 2012

-Drastic r2.1.6.1a (the version that I tested)

-DS game (cannot help you with this)

Have fun, and remember to keep an eye on those temperatures!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giorgi-geo:
You know what? My fathom's had sound problem since the start, i mean even in windows mobile, only the right headphone works correctly when plugged in, in the left one you can only hear very low volume distorted sound, but the main speaker works fine.

I didn't think it was the cause of the problem with android sound, especially since i can fix android problem by playing music in two different players simultaneously after i first start android and then it's fine, so the problem seemed software related, but thinking about it could be my fathoms fault.

:crying:help help my phone is not showing me my home wifi whenever i search for wifi its showing me wifi unavailable Since the day I got my lg vs750 home i could conect to wifi but from yesterday its not showing in both windows mobile as well as android pls help

I have tried resetting the phone, forgetting my wifi network, resetting my router and nothing works i can connect to my friends wifi but my home wifi i cant

i can connect ipad and all other phones to my home wifi but i cant conect this lg vs750 what to do :crying:pls help

Can someone please help?!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] einsteinecker:
When was the last time you used wifi on your Fathom, Windows Mobile or Android? This is not looking good, maybe your hardware died :( I myself cannot connect to my WPA2 network, which I think is the OS fault more than the hardware.

Try to backup your phone, and factory reset it. Let me know if that works.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] g680423:
I connected it 2 days ago in windows mobile just facebook and in android used whatsapp after that next day when i pressed seach wifi network its showing unavailable

I can conect my neigbours wifi to fathom cant conect my home wifi

My home wifi works perfect with sony tipo and ipad and other device only its not showing in fathom

I tried factory reset in fathom still d same problem pls help:crying:crying:

Its terrible without wifi :(:(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] einsteinecker:
Okay, did you accidentally leave the wifi on when you booted android? Android doesn't like any wireless functions on when booting.

This is a wild guess, but this sounds like your home wifi is rejecting your Fathom. If you can connect to your neighbors wifi, that could only mean your home wifi does not recognize your device as allowed. See, each device has a MAC Address, which I believe survives a Factory Reset, and it is this Mac Address that wifi networks identify devices. This is the only explanation I can think of. Somehow when you used Windows Mobile wifi, then used Android Wifi, a conflict happened, and I think somehow your wifi network saw 2 different devices sharing the same Mac Address.

But I'm really not an expert in wifi networking. I honestly never used it until recently, and I've been bad at it :silly:

My last suggestion is this: Go to the first post, and read the section Preparing your phone to enable 3G internet on Android, you should be able to see your phone's settings when you connect it to a computer and use LGNPST to view it. It should be the same place where you change the 3G settings for Android, and maybe your MAC Address was erased. If you backed up your NVS file, that's even better, so restore it and maybe that will work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] g680423:
i left the wifi on while booting to android :( maybe thats d reason yesterday whn i tried to search again it worked.. sometimes its worknig sometimes its not working i think its my modem problem

thankyou bro i will try 3g thing if te problem persist
[Miscellaneous Android Development] g680423:
Somebody pls pls help me I can't connect to wifi it's not showing me wifi turn on/off even in android it's showing me error pls help I tried factory default still same pls help it's showing me like this

Pls help:crying:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giorgi-geo:
Sorry for necroing this thread, but I found this old folder of stuff downloaded from here, so might as well post a link before I delete it, if for some reason someone want to download. Link to mega
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GLaDOS.The.Giant:
Thankyou for the mega link, believe it or not I still love mine, got it when my father upgraded in 2013
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TFGBD:
I mirrored to Mediafire:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] einsteinecker:
Here goes the new update. Info is in Readme.txt file. Reset device after making ROOT changes.

NOTE: Can't start Froyo 2.2? When you see the system process error, immediately press the side button beside the camera, then choose wait, then hold side button, then select power off, and the phone should look like it's booting again, and it should go into Froyo. If it doesn't, repeat again.

NOTE2: Unfortunately, Wifi only works in Froyo (wifi saw my temp router, but I didn't connect), while Bluetooth only works in Gingerbread (Froyo bluetooth sees devices but can't connect). Do not replace the bcm file in Gingerbread. Accelerometer only works in Gingerbread. Install the labyrinth game.

Twice I've been charging my phone Windows Mobile -> boot into android, and twice I've lost 20% battery in Android after a few minutes. Also, when plugging the phone to a PC is slow, although it does work. It might be related.

I've been trying to get Gen.Y dualboot to work, but it always tells me "Android missing". I really want that to work at least.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giorgi-geo:
Bluetooth doesn't work for me in 2.3 when i click on Bluetooth, for a split second it shows "turning on" but than refreshes back to unchecked box. accelerometer works :) :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giorgi-geo:
i replaced android 2.3 bcm4329.ko with yours and now android gets stuck at preparing sd card. can you upload the original bcm4329.ko file for me? :D

---------- Post added at 02:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 AM ----------

but i just realized it wont help, cause android doesn't load. any ideas?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] einsteinecker:
Because Wifi does not work in 2.3 Gingerbread, you do not need to replace the bcm file. Bluetooth works as it is. This is an OS problem, and until I (or someone else) fixes the OS this is all we can do for now.

The only way for you to use Gingerbread again is to replace the OS again, sorry.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giorgi-geo:
Ok i'll do that. thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] einsteinecker:
Uh, new kernel is badly broken. Power management is completely off the charts, I will upload fix as soon as I am able.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giorgi-geo:
good luck. and by the way Bluetooth still doesn't work for me
[Miscellaneous Android Development] einsteinecker:
:confused:

Did you replace system.ext2 and rootfs? Go back to old one.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giorgi-geo:
i did replace system.ext2 with 1st kernel and what is rootfs? in the new one there are only these files
[Miscellaneous Android Development] einsteinecker:
Do you not have a copy of Froyo/Gingerbread from the first post? That's where you get it, not my kernel.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giorgi-geo:
I'll just wait for your full build upload and hopefully this problem will fix itself :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] einsteinecker:
New major release

I have a new update for everyone, making Android on the LG Fathom now better than ajeet's release, and hopefully fully working provided I've plenty of motivation.

First download this required package and follow the instructions in readme.txt, then Gingerbread 2.3 modded by me, and extract the files into your Android folder on your microSD.

For this Gingerbread build, you must root acces the system, and copy the ".ko" files into /system/lib/mobules. Every Kernel release must be done this way, until I fully finalize the kernel.

Working:

-Wifi now fully supported in Gingerbread! (remember to reinstall modules for each new kernel release) I need feedback regarding WPA wifi networks!!!!

-Bluetooth partially works. And when I say partially, there's something wrong with the permissions. The OS apparently rejects incoming requests, but the phone can connect to other devices. For example, When I want to connect with my bluetooth headset, the headset cannot connect to the phone, but the phone can connect to the headset. Obviously this can be fixed, but that will take time. This means that file sharing cannot work. I sacrificed the time spent on fixing the wifi for this, so it's either wifi or file sharing.

NEW KERNEL

Features:

-Reset my entire line of fixes. This time for sure, headphones, wifi, bluetooth, power saving etc all working without fail.

Please read FAQs here for more info if you have any problems! Don't forget to donate if you can ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giorgi-geo:
Thank you so much. You're awesome. downloading now. :victory::highfive:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giorgi-geo:
This is my wi-fi. connected without problems :victory:

---------- Post added at 07:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------

by the way. if you want to transfer files without having to go to winmo, and then back to android. install Samba Filesharing and share your android folder to pc via wi-fi :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] einsteinecker:
So wifi works for you now? That's great, and it looks like WPA works :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giorgi-geo:
i got only one problem now. only way I can turn on android is to have charger connected. otherwise it says preparing sd card, and then turns off. if anyone has this problem just connect charger and then start android.

also. keyboard is a little off in your build. in cyanogenmod it was right. i mean the FN buttons. when you hold fn, the keys are mixed up. i actually cant write . with keyboard.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] einsteinecker:
Is your battery more than 70% when you boot into android?

I know this problem, and I will fix it.

As for the rest of your questions, for video playback I use MX player. I don't know about anything else, sorry. What I can guess is that, ajeet's 2.3.5 Android build was ported from the HD2, which I read has hardware support for video applications (video memory at least). I don't think our Fathom's have that, thus, we have incompatibility regarding the use of any program that might attempt that (ajeet's rom is identified as a Nexus One, further complicating things) I will look into my kernel again and see if something was missing, since I did reset my changes from 001 and 002.

Youtube playback might not be good due to either an old Android version, old youtube app version, or the above video problem.

Sound dying globally, I will look into this, but I can link to the SD card failing to load at boot. I have confirmed this to be a problem with the OS, not my kernel, as obviously the sound works in cyanogen mod as well as ajeet's Froyo. But then sometimes it dies... I will definitely investigate.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giorgi-geo:
do you think it would be better to continue fixing 2.3.7 instead of 2.3.5 if you can apply your previous fixes to it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] einsteinecker:
cyanogenmod has a couple of problems, such as:

-It behaves the same way as Froyo: requires charger at boot.

-It won't rotate the screen back to portrait when you close the keyboard unless you standby

-Wifi won't work when you copy the modules, unless I can repair the rest of the files

-Cyanogenmod needs more time to settle when booting up.

I like cyanogenmod though, it shows how we can customize Android without sacrificing RAM, and the slide to unlock is very easy compared to 2.3.5. I think it's a much better chance of me fixing cyanogenmod instead Froyo, so when I finalize 2.3.5, maybe then I can do the same for 2.3.7.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giorgi-geo:
ok. so what are planning on fixing next?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] www2287:
hm ... as i remember:

1) my cyanogenmod build don't require charger at boot (with my kernel)

2) it not rotate screen to portrait because G-sensor is enabled (rotate phone to portrait and screen will be in portrait). disable auto-rotating in screen settings and screen will return back to portrait when you close keyboard

3) this is an nvram problem, simply change nvram path in WiFi kernel driver to system/etc/wifi/nvram.txt (search for nvram.txt in source codes), copy modules and it will work good (include WPA and other encryption)

4) Yes, it needs some time at first boot. but CM is more good FW, there are a lot of tweaks. And we can build it from sources with our config (instead of prebuilt old NexusHD2 image)

5) Bluetooth is working good in CM7. it can receive and send files very good

With CM we have a lot of ready-made solutions for our hardware. It is easier to fix something in sources than in binary files.

And please, upload your kernel sources.

P.S I will continue to work in 2 weeks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giorgi-geo:
:D:D:D:D:D Great
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giorgi-geo:
what you guys should do is apply eins fixes to cm (accelerometer, screen, battery) and then continue from there. it will be awesome :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] einsteinecker:
Good news everyone. I have fixed the "connect your charger" problem. I had to remove every bit of code I could see regarding the HTC battery drivers and have used LG's drivers.

The bad news is it only works on my modified Gingerbread. I do not know why it doesn't work on Froyo or cyanogenmod, but it seems to me those two share very much the same code in some areas. It's too bad too, whatever ajeet did probably was to integrate well with only his 2.3.5 Gingerbread.

New Kernel einstein 4x1 (NOTE: read any "readme.txt" files for instructions!!)

-Now, phone will no longer reboot when booting into android. You must make sure your battery level is over 26% in order to avoid this Reboot of Death bug, as it seems like the current build will reset if Android is in a mode where it will warn you to connect your charger. Perhaps we can change Android's low battery notification?

-NVRAM now pointed to /system/etc/wifi/, be sure to root copy the nvram.txt file into the new location.

-(for my modified Gingerbread build) attached are the correct key layouts for the Fathom hardware keyboard (thanks to www2287

Ah, I see. I will try that... if I can boot into it :(

Already fixed. Thanks!

I would like to, but I have an unreliable ISP. I had to wait 2 days to upload the new fixes :( I sure have changed a lot of ajeet's old code. I couldn't believe how un-optimized it really is, it was so much work :eek:

Now, I myself need to take a break from Android developing. I have spent much of the past 2 weeks on this, and now that I have brought the Fathom to a usable state, I will next focus on the Camera and then finally cellular connectivity. Considering how hard it was for me, and yet I still overcame the hurdles, I will remain optimistic that we can finally have a very good Android status for this phone :victory:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giorgi-geo:
this is great

what do you think about microphone?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] einsteinecker:
The previous kernel worked on cyanogenmod (it was a little low), but I can't see the voice recorder program in 2.3.5 so I didn't test :(

Does the mic work at all?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giorgi-geo:
wow. i could swear i tested it before and it didn't work. i tested it now with google voice search and it worked.

one more thing. there's this error when sometimes it doesn't show that sd card is mounted. :( is that fixable?

also do I have to change "data_size=" in startup.txt before I first load android? cause i tried changing it after loading android several times, but data.img stays 256mb I have 16GB sd card. it's 15GB free.

P.S will it take longer for android to load if i change data_size to 4GB or 8GB for example?

and finally. How do you recommend to switch from android to winmo? with that reset button near usb? or through androids menu "shut down" or "restart"?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] www2287:
Use my initrd from CM, and try to specify "androidboot.hardware=fathom" into kernel cmdline, because i use "fathom" for board name and all drivers and etc compiled with this board name. You can try to check your sdcard filesystem for errors.

if you used "git" for retrieving ajeet sources, then you can fork ajeet repo (it will create your own repo with ajeet kernel), add new "remote URL" in git project settings, commit your changes and push it to repo. it will cost ~15mb maximum :D

you can ask ajeet about camera (what cam-module\gpios does our phone use). and ajeet has some progress with celluar connectivity. ask him about his libril_wrapper sources. he fixed network strength icon, network searching, incoming calls (you can take phone call and talk), 3G internet connect (but it needs some changes in system files).

there is a issue with mic in CM, it work, but not all time. one boot it can work, another - can't work. ajeet fixed this issue with new haret and new clrcad. i will upload this later.

p.s you can use "adb logcat" for applications and services debug and "adb logcat -b radio" for celluar network debug.

p.p.s please, try to fix hardware keyboard backlight. if you fix it - i will add support to this into liblights

you can specify your own size by changing "data_size=", after this DELETE data.img file. first boot will be long, because ramdisk will create new data.img file with your filesize. it depends on your sdcard speed.

restart via android powermenu is preferable, because reset button can corrupt your system.ext2 and data.img
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giorgi-geo:
guys please try to fix this "sd card is not mounted" problem :( 3 reboots in a row, same problem.

---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

I think cyanogenmod is the way to go. it had some problems but not like this. with sound dying and sd card.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] www2287:
try to mount it in settings app. if not help - check sdcard for errors on PC.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giorgi-geo:
it turned on with sd card on the fourth try. i really dont think it's the sd card problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] einsteinecker:
I see. I will look into this.

I'll have to learn more about git :cowboy:

I asked a few days ago, no reply yet. Maybe he deleted files and no longer has them :(

I think it is clrcad as well. Sometimes when I click it once and load haret, sound will work, sometimes it won't work, or when I click clrcad 6 times, it works and doesn't work.

I think I know where to start with this. I will look into it later.

Ah, I see. I had a feeling that was true. There is currently no support for reset button in my kernel, maybe later I can add it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] www2287:
here is fixed haret and clrcad https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21712667/new_haret.zip

---------- Post added at 03:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------

What toolchain are you using? I use 4.4.3 androideabi from cyanogenmod.

your kernel isn't working for me :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giorgi-geo:
what build are this haret and clrcad for?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] www2287:
this haret is for all versions. it fixes microphone problems (without this fix mic is working or not working. 50/50)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] einsteinecker:
Before I used linaro toolchain, now I use arm-2011.03.

Thanks for updated haret, will test later :cool:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] www2287:
i've booted your kernel :)

simply change mtype from 3197 to 2524
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giorgi-geo:
this new haret seems to have also fixed my problem with audio dying after 1-2 minutes :) nice!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giorgi-geo:
BTW i wanted to ask is it a bad idea to set max cpu frequency to 1536mhz? Ive had it like that for some time and don't seem to have any problems. what do you think?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] www2287:
you can use this frequency, but system can freeze. if you have no problem, then use it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giorgi-geo:
unfortunately it didn't. when i booted it first, audio worked fine the whole time until restart, but after I restarted android audio died again. can you check if this is happening to you too? also my fathom has this problem that when i connect speakers or headphones audio only comes through the left speaker, right one is very silent noise. could this be the reason?
