XV6800 questions

Hey

Forgive my ignorance but I am way behind on this and just got the phone and started running this on it today. I have some questions.

I have a lot of bin tools segfaulting and was wondering if I have the wrong image or if that's the status of it now. How do I find the version?

# ps
PID Uid VSZ Stat Command
Segmentation fault
# ls -l
Segmentation fault
#

Is there any reason why swap isn't being used? I added a swap file, anybody see a problem with adding swap in the /data folder? I didn't want to cook the SD card.

Not that it's using a lot of it now but when it needs to it should improve performance some. Not sure how the kernel is configured.

Is the kernel config included somewhere on the image?

Is it possible to return to windows without reset? How do I exit a program like the browser? The power button only works for screen off not poweroff.

# /bin/poweroff does not do anything.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] dcordes:
hey,

For .config, checkout /proc/config.gz or see http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/ at the bottom.

Possible reasons people don't use swap on flash memory are it might wear of faster or slow down the system.

You must softreset to return to windows because it must boot again
[Mogul, XV6800 General] DCPhillips:
Thanks.

I have not got around to looking at the image closely. That's next. I was under the impression that I was running from internal storage. I guess it's not mounting that drive at all.

I found that most seg faults are not occurring if I use binaries from the system folder.

I have Fedora on a 8G cruzer micro drive that I am currently copying the file system over to my 8G sd card. I should be able to enter that file system and have a lot more of a system.

No problem with resetting except trying to turn off the phone takes several minutes as I have to wait for windows to load.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] jambrose:
I got it to run on my Verizon Titan. I put it on a separate SD card and run it from there. I like some of the features, but definitely a long road ahead to get everything to work. Also don't see an email client or calendar to sync with Exchange. That will be the big app that I need to have. The new iPhone even does that. :)
[Mogul, XV6800 General] madsuse:
How do I get a keyboard?

I have it running and I can poke around within it, but I can't seem to type a name or anything else for that matter to connect to gmail.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] wasupwithuman:
keyboard.

For everyone wondering how to get your titan keyboard working here is a step by step.

1. Download the latest android release from http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/android-28-10-08.zip

2. Extract the contents to a local folder

you will get the following files:

data.gz

initrid.gz

system.gz

default.txt

haret.exe

zImage

3. Delete the file called zImage and replace it with this one http://wormhole.akropolys.com/htclinux/zImage-sidebuttons

4. After it is downloaded rename the file you just downloaded (zImage-sidebuttons) to zImage (must be spelled with a capital "I")

5. Copy the files to your storage card.

6. Show your friends that android is on it's way to kicking the crap out of WM.. and your hardware keyboard is better then their Iphone's on screen keyboard.

Hope that helps everyone...

Notes: Number one problem... and we know about it... The screen does not rotate at all (or the correct way)....give us some time, i'm not the coder, i just test the stuff...btw... zdooder if your reading this... I need to talk to you about the kaiser-keyboard.c source....

2nd problem... you can use the hardware keyboard to send sms... but you need to open the onscreen keyboard first... and leave it open, so you will be typing upside down... :(

More updates soon I hope....

Enjoy.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] wasupwithuman:
Another thing.... To have data working correctly...

If your evdo, 3g, whatever kind of data plan your phone company has...

you need the username and password (some services don't have one)

get the username and password, and put it in your default.txt in the haret directory....

now the fun part....

open up internet explorer on your titan.... and when you see the data connection bubble come up, go to haret and press the "run" button....

YOU MUST HAVE A CURRENT DATA CONNECTION OPEN IN ORDER TO GET DATA IN ANDROID, AND YOU MUST HAVE THE CORRECT USERNAME AND PASSWORD.

IT WORKS. IF ITS NOT WORKING FOR YOU, then either you dont have the right username and password or you are not opening up a data connection before you press the "run" button in haret. (so call your phone service and ask them for your username and password)
[Mogul, XV6800 General] megapinky:
hi, i little help

can you tellme how the buttons works? which button is the menu, the back, etc? thx

edit: the rigthkey (keyboard key) is the back, the leftkey (keyboard) is the menu, correct?

can you make a call, or answer it?

sorry about poor english :o
[Mogul, XV6800 General] wasupwithuman:
right softkey on keyboard is quit/back

left softkey on keyboard is menu, or unlock the phone.

(those two might be opposite, i dont have my phone with me right now.)

The rest of the keyboard works like it should.

Red hangup button will put the phone to sleep/hangup calls (turn the screen off)

Green answer button will wake it up/answer calls.

The "phone" it's self is fully functional... it has the Ability to make and recieve calls, sms and data...
[Mogul, XV6800 General] megapinky:
what rom do you use?

i have dcd 3.2.6 and my green and red buttons don't work :(

the keyboard works ok
[Mogul, XV6800 General] wasupwithuman:
shouldn't have anything to do with the rom your using... but i have The nue3 bleeding edge...

If i your red and green keys aren't working you downloaded the wrong zImage...

http://wormhole.akropolys.com/htclinux/zImage-sidebuttons

that is the zImage you need...Replace it with the original one you downloaded...also Make sure you rename it from zImage-sidebuttons to zImage....
[Mogul, XV6800 General] dcd1182:
I'm out of the loop and don't know the behind-the-scenes process here, but would the SD driver in use by WM have any effect?

I have been lightly following here and there when dzo makes new releases and have not had any success booting since m5.

I am using a 2gb sandisk card. I have various 512mb cards at home that have shipped with titans that have not worked either.

I have only tried the msmsdcc_fmax values on the 2GB card. Do not have 512mb cards with me.

no go with those values. also, im assuming you meant replace msmsdcc_4bit=1 with msmsdcc_1bit=1. this did not improve things for me either. maybe I misunderstood you?

my dmesg is saying clk_set_rate 19:25000000

i noticed that the onscreen keyboard as well as hardware keyboard are working after the hang, i can type :)

dzo, do you have a titan? if not, i don't have a spare, but i might know where to find one we could send your way.

my next move will be to make a quick WAIK boot.wim and do a diskpart clean on the sdcard. ive tried formatting the existing partition in every way possible.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] wasupwithuman:
DCD... i have a 512 card and i use "msmsdcc_fmax=48000000"

I think it might be your card... I had haret on my one 512 card... and it would error when trying to mount the SD... i used another SD with the exact same type of card and the exact same size... and it booted... Very weird... But thats what happened... So try a different card... see what happens... Don't reformat it...just put the files on and try to boot...
[Mogul, XV6800 General] dcd1182:
ive tried many many cards, but now that im home ill try the msmsdcc_fmax values on the 512 cards...
[Mogul, XV6800 General] megapinky:
i could make a call whith the green buttons, but after i use the keybord (the letters) my green and my red buttos stop working

this is normal? can be fix it?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] madsuse:
no virtual keyboard now

Since applying all of the awsome fixes here for Android on my titan I seem to have lost the virtual keyboard.

I can verify that the hardware keyboard is now working, but I always use the on screen one.

Has anyone else had this issue.

Keep up the great work, I look forward to switching to linux on my phone just as I have switched from Windows on my laptop.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] wasupwithuman:
Sometimes the virtual keyboard doesn't get loaded... Every once in awhile it happens to me... Just restart Android and try again....
[Mogul, XV6800 General] tssi:
All I got is "Screen is locked, Press Menu to Unlock"

Where is the "Menu"???
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Magister2k7:
Keyboard

Emm... looks like I am somewhat lost..., I missed this thread...

So, as for now, I have partially working keyboard (all letters work, space, Tab, (blue dot)) - but softkeys, Enter, Ok are somewhat strange - they give me a series of letters.

For use with android, I mapped blue dot as Menu and Left arrow - as Back.

--

Is there any another working solution? Maybe we should merge our work?

--

My files are:

The changed source (compared to vogue-msm branch of linuxtogo git): http://magister.ipsys.net/files/android/titan_kbd.zip

Compiled kernel: http://magister.ipsys.net/files/android/zImage

default.txt: http://magister.ipsys.net/files/android/default.txt

To run Android, you need to get Android for Vogue files, and then replace zImage and default.txt with mine.

To run Angstrom linux, you need angstrom.bin image from Kaisers bootkit (console only).

--

Added: wow, you have fully working keyboard! how you did it?! Can I view your source?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drummania:
My touch screen is unstable. It is very hard to do dragging. Anybody has the same problem?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] megapinky:
i have the same problem :(
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Magister2k7:
I had fixed this. Tomorrow I'll upload my zImage, so you can wait... however keyboard is not fully working in it.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drummania:
Hey Magister,

If you have time, could you take a look at the Android on Kaiser? It seems to have a perfect keyboard implementation. I am currently using that kernel and it works great on Mogul.

http://wormhole.akropolys.com/htclinux/board-kaiser-keypad.c
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Teedoe3:
Could you please assist me with installing the Android? I'm having a difficult time. I need the simpliest terms possible.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drummania:
Can't think of any simpler terms than that. Which step do you have problem with?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Magister2k7:
Thanks, I'll see on it...

Btw, now I have almost working front buttons (no D-pad, Win, Ok keys for now). How it would be better to map them? Do you have some ideas?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Magister2k7:
AFAIK only Martin does something suitable for our phones... maybe we also can take something from Kaiser's development (keyboard is an example).

Yes, layout is somewhat bad as for now. But I think we should first make kernel work stable and only then fix layouts etc.

As for touchscreen, I've said that I somewhat fixed this, so wait some time... Hovewer it is worse than in WinMo for now, I can use it with stylus normally, but not with my fingers - so some time it should be improved. I'll finish the buttons, and then will post results.

Thanks for your ideas, hovewer at this time I don't think I can assign specific applications to buttons.

Hardware switch - yes, it's not hardware. And as for now, I had not captured it - and more, if you switch it - then all front buttons do not work until reboot.

Yes, I think Android will work far better than WinMo. But we should get it working first...

Thanks for your post :)
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drummania:
Good job! I would like Win=Menu, OK=Back.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] jacobroufa:
Thanks, Magister, for your quick reply to my post. As I said before, anything I can help with w/r/t bug hunting and testing I will be available and more than willing to do. Is there a "most recent" or -dev version of the kernel or zImage available for testing that I could check out and provide feedback for?

Thanks again, and I'm always willing to be of service. I know that together, the community can take this from a rockin' good time to a truly great project that will continue to astound people for years to come. Oh, how I love the F/LOSS movement! :D

this is really cool to be able to test out android on the titan, good work everybody!

any idea why in google maps it shows my location as someone driving around san fran, ca? I live in the midwest. Is it the ceo of google I'm tracking?

also, the screen calibration trick with the on screen keyboard and touching the opposite corners improves it but by no means makes it usable, the arrow keys and enter work fine though. Any tips on calibrating the screen better would be appreciated.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] jacobroufa:
I also live in the Midwest and I believe it shows that because it knows we have GPS but doesn't know how to initialize it properly. Just an educated guess based on what I've read.

OSK and calibration work as well as they do which is better than not working at all. I've kinda come to accept that. It comes down to a difference in the screen driver from the Vogue (where the original development was that we are utilizing) to the Titan.

There are more tweaks and hacks if you read through some threads. A new dialer skin, for example, where the number pad on screen isn't as scrunched.

Hope you're enjoying Android as much as I am!
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Magister2k7:
So, still no progress.. I cannot get keyboard working properly :(

Can somebody tell me what source a zImage-sidebuttons is built from?

The board-kaiser-keypad.c (link is in this thread) conflicts with vogue-ts.c and still works not ok..am I missed something?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] schettj:
So, I downloaded the 11-5 vogue build, and booting it as is via haret on the Titan, other then the buttons & keyboard, it looked like it was running very well.

Downloaded the zimage-sidebuttons (seems to be built on older version?) and the buttons indeed worked, but it didn't detect/show the battery level and generally seemed to be less good then the 11-5 version.

What's the likelyhood of a more up to date version of zimage-sidebuttons?

Oh, and congrats all, this is looking pretty cool.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] arrrghhh:
well i'd love to run this on my titan - but i keep getting "failed to mount SD card" - the only solution i've found is "try another sd card" - i don't have any others, this is the stock 512mb one that came with the phone. i've tried reformatting it with no success. this baffles me because i got android to boot 2x on this very same card, then never again. i've tried grabbing the newest updates when they come out hoping it'll work... but it still hasn't.

i'd much rather run this natively instead of thru the haret emulator, but i'm guessing that's pretty far off...

either way, if anyone knows what i can do to remedy the failed to mount sd card issue i'd love the help! thanks!
[Mogul, XV6800 General] schettj:
Just one last bit of feedback...

Neither the Vogue 11/5 build nor the sidebuttons version seem to enable the usb for linking with the SDK (or my ubuntu box is having issues ;) )

The 11/5 vogue build does show battery level correctly, and pops up a charging window when I plug in the usb.

Both versions seem to keep the front button backlight on all the time.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] breity:
this is amazing. great job so far everyone who's worked on this. any progress on getting the keyboard/buttons to work better for the titan? and the touch screen? if these things improve a bit, i would seriously consider switching to android as my primary OS. it's so much faster and smoother than wm6.1!
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Teedoe3:
I keep getting stuck on the screen with the penguin. The system keeps failing when trying to extract the system and data file. I have a folder on my SD card with all of the Android components in it except for system and data, which is right outside of the folder. My question is what should I have on my phone and what should I have on my SD card? Also how do I enter the info to have the keyboard and touchscreen working properly?

I'm stuck and really want this on my Mogul.:confused:
[Mogul, XV6800 General] alwap106:
I was stuck at the bird too until I put the files on a 512K card instead of my 8G card. Now I get all the way to where it shows the main screen with the time but none of the buttons work. Screen says its lock hit menu to unlock but no buttons work. I have a xv6800 --can someone point me to the corrct files for my phone

Thanks in advance
[Mogul, XV6800 General] DeathsArrow:
It's kind of spotty to say the least. But holding the camera button will usually kick it out of the lock screen. If it doesn't unlock, soft reset and try again. Eventually it will work.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] princem131:
d the same issue. try using the ok and windows buttons (and the "Q" key = ok for some odd reason) on the actual ahrd keyboard. worked on my mogul. I realize that thats not the ideal way to do it there is probably some way to remap the keys but I dont know much about how to actually code any of this stuff. looks very impressive though, now i just need it on my Touch Pro!

To get data working correctly you will need to update your default.txt with the username and password you use on your network. Make sure you have an OPEN data connection before you launch haret. I normally press the internet key to open up internet explorer and then press ok to minimize then open haret and press run... You have to do this before the connection goes idle...

as for the username and password... If you use sprint... you can set it with the following line

SET CMDLINE "ppp.username=YOUUSERNAME@sprintpcs.com ppp.password=YOURPASSWORD"

Hope that helps... I'm trying out the new zImage as I type this... Thanks for all your work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Metero:
Hello guys. Just a short but very important question. I'll root my S7 Edge incl. TWRP. I've made some experience in past with rooting, customizing and so on... In almost every case I noticed performance issues. In past I tried do flash the stock firmwares to get it to the original back again, but I didn't get any offcial updates about OTA. Its my first Samsung smartphone and I read there is a problem with Knox (security system for customization).

So: If I root and so on, is there any REAL solution to get it in the current untouched original state back incl. the untouched Knox status? (can I completely backup the current firmware and data so that have in case of issue just to flash it back?)

Hope you understand my thoughts ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MAX 404:
Hi

Untouched firmware ...yes . just reflash a stock firmware

Reset knox back to 0 x 0 ......not possible , at least not at the moment
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Metero:
thank you. so it could be possible in future to set an almost changed knox value to 0x0? or just to prevent any change of the knox?

just another thought about bypassing knox... if it would be possible wouldn't it be a >big< security problem for samsung payment? not just for the costumer but for the seller?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Metero:
what is actually the best method of rooting? is threre any difference? i found the CF auto root and the TWRP method (rooting after flashing the recovery). Just the difference between recovery or not?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MAX 404:
Hi

Bypass knox bit setting to one , has been possible in older models and there been some progress and success in the S7 family but resetting it back to 0 never been possible

The e fuse 0 x 1 is not a security issue at all is just a way for Samsung to know you been messing with the device , you can reflash a stock firmware (odin) , have the knox bit set and be 1000% safe and knox security cover...
