[Touch CDMA Android Development] Snakehn:
Can anybody please give me some help here.

I've been trying to get this to work on my phone and no luck, i keep getting " No partition was found on SD card", i have tried formatting the card, tried different builds, 1.1, 1.5 and nothing.

Could anybody please tell me if i need some other software to partition the cards or anything that i need in order to get this to work

i am using an HTC Vogue XV6900 CDMA from Verizon with a 2Gb Micro SD Card.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
Can you see what shows up above the error message?

At some point it should show that it is waiting for the MMC, then that it found it, then it will give a short list.

On my phone it says mmcblk0p1... on your phone it might say mmcblk0p5. Please let me know if you see that. If so I can look into supporting that... it is specific to the SD card you are using.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Snakehn:
Yes it says:

Waiting for SD Card

Command timeout

SD Init

mmcblk0: unknown partition table.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
It must be partitioned strangely, easiest is to buy another card. They're only about $10 now, so it's not as big expense. Make sure you get a class 6 card.

More annoying noob questions I'm sure, but here we go anyway.

1) My battery seems to drain somewhat fast, even when using the bootlock test zimage (I'm on a Bell Touch). I'm using email checking every 15 minutes using the email app, and had max processes set to 4 all day today. Also, I have the panel type set to 1 IIRC. My battery went from fully charged today at 10am to about 10% at 9pm, with some light usage all day (not much browsing, a couple texts, no phone calls, data connection left on all day)

To combat this tomorrow I'm going to try setting max processes to 2, and also set it to kill apps on close as someone said they did before. I also ordered a 2500mAh battery off DX that I'm going to get to work on the phone as well, so this isn't a huge problem.

2) Using the HTC IME keyboard in compact qwerty mode, I can't seem to be able to make it switch from ABC to XT9 mode. I have all the prediction settings that I can see enabled in the keyboard settings, but it seems like the option to switch to XT9 is greyed out, because hitting the button does nothing.

Edit: NVM about this problem, I realized that if your typing an email/text etc XT9 is enabled, but if you are typing in the google search bar for example, it isn't.

This is fine for me for now!

Thanks again for the help guys, I've since switched over to using this over Windows Mobile full time!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] hexto:
Are you using the new zImage from from the google code site? I had the same battery problem and Vilord recommended I do this and my battery is now at 26% after 11hrs+ with decent amount of usage which is a huge improvement to the 6-8hrs I was getting before.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] exabrial:
Another success story for the camera. The previous initrd didn't work for me. Thanks!

On an un-related note, what ever happened with the SD Card death issue? Was that ever fixed? I took a break and used a touch pro for 7 months... (I hate winmo, hence why I'm back here)

Hello,

Can i install Android on a iPAQ 614c device?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
If you can, you can't get it here. This is for HTC devices only.

Try here though, it's your best bet: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=android+ipaq+614c
[Touch CDMA Android Development] hexto:
Will the camera ever work good enough to use some of the camera apps available in Market or is the Vogue camera not good enough for scanning bar codes?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zapat0s:
The system image switched to cramfs (non writable) and i believe the data.img is a format that only writes every once in a while instead of every time data is changed. So far the broken SD card issue doesn't seem to be much of an issue any more but be sure to backup your data.img incase it gets corrupt. or your card dies.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
The camera just doesn't focus at a short enough distance to be able to capture a bar code. If you photocopy the bar code and enlarge it, then it works though!!. I may add a zoom mode to the camera that might help but it's not a priority.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] brsev:
Hexto, It doesn't look like it's possible, I think I read developers couldn't get 2mp cameras to work in WinMo, and AFAIK the iphone's 2mp camera can't read them either. But the camera works great with SnapTell, which reads book/cd/dvd covers with maybe 75% to 80% accuracy indoors, surprisingly.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] hexto:
Thanks. Definitely not a priority for me either. Just wondering
[Touch CDMA Android Development] hexto:
Cool. I'll try it. I'm just having fun with all these apps. I went nuts downloading GPS apps too. Love Android

try repartitioning to force creating a good partition

Some older SD cards (and older USB flash drives) come without a partition table, which may be your problem. On your PC, use fdisk under linux, or whatever the equivalent is under windoze, to repartition (delete the current partition, add a true primary partition of type FAT16). Then FAT format the new partition on the SD card, and copy all the files needed to boot Android onto the new partition on the SD card.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dnessl:
Thanks

Since I'm posting, I guess I better speak up and say thanks for all the work you guys have done on this. Really spectacular! I switched to vilord's 1.5 Ion build when it came out, and have been upgrading all along! Between the new soft keyboard and the ability to measure and set the touch screen calibrations in default.txt, Android is now much more pleasurable for everyday use than WinMo. And I can't believe that even GPS works now, and darned well too!

BTW, I was in the local Sprint store the other day to check out the Palm Pre (keyboard is too small, as I am accustomed to a Blackberry 8830 Worldphone), and I showed the Sprint salescritter Android running on my HTC Touch -- he was mightily impressed, and figured he could sell way more phones with Android on them, and wondered why Sprint wasn't in the game already.

Unfortunately, I'm still looking for a decent task/to-do list app that will handle my 900+ checklist items (in about a dozen categories). Sync'ing with a web site is a plus. Astrid chokes on that many tasks. Upvise Pro can handle that many, but it resyncs on every change (instead of batching them up for later) and it has no search capability. I'd use google tasks, but there's no way to import tasks (and I'm not gonna retype 900+).

End button to stop incoming call

On 1.1, which I had been using for months, I was able to hit the end button to stop an incoming call and send it straight to voice mail.

Now that I am using 1.5, which I must say is more usable than ever (thanks Vilord!), when I get an incoming call I have to either let it ring until voice mail picks up, or answer it and hang up right away. This is a pretty big issue because if I am every somewhere where I don't want my phone to ring, and didn't remember to put silent mode on, I have no choice but to let it ring and try to cover the speaker as best I can, or answer the phone and hang up.

Is there a setting I can change? Can this be fixed, or is this for some reason a feature left out of 1.5?

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] okcoolthnx:
Just to add to this topic, I went through 3 SD cards towards the end of last year. Every since I would say....February, i've been using the same 2gb MicroSD and it hasn't given me any trouble. Then again, WinMo is open for probably like a minute at the most so it doesn't have time to write stupid invisible files to the card?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] opensea:
Thank you craig0r.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] derringdo:
Just chiming in to say that I've been having problems booting Android on my Bell vogue since the builds released at the end of April/beginning of May (The same as what Sprint users have been reporting).

However, vilord's zImage-bootlock-test has allowed me to use Android again, and boy am I happy! The ability to define the calibration settings in the default.txt is great, it makes the phone so much more usable!

Does anyone have a list of cupcake apps they find particularly useful, especially now that GPS is working? Feel free to list any other awesome apps as well!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
Not specific to cupcake, but Locale is a really powerful logic app that triggers events based on time, date, gps, etc. It's really handy to define your work location, school, church, movie theater, etc to set your volume automatically to silent.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] punk.kaos:
Is there any chance we can get the iptables modules included so we can do REAL tethering with our Vogues?

Thanks again, this project is AWESOME!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] srwalter:
If you haven't seen it yet, you might look into ActionComplete. No web sync yet, but it is supposed to be added in the near future.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
This is because some programs on Android were written specifically for the 480 pixel height of the G1. For these programs, you cut off the bottom by having default.txt resolution of 320 x 428. You can try 360 x 480 as a resolution, however the screen is a touch blurry; it fixes the problem with such programs though. I don't know if you can change the slider location.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
Ignore call I have fixed, it'll be posted in the next day or two.

For todos and task lists, have you tried toodo? It syncs with remember the milk (or its supposed to, I haven't gotten sync working on my phone yet...

Is your phone a refurb by any chance or a newer production? I'm still trying to figure out what the differences could be that would break our models from working. I was thinking about buying a used Touch but people are wanting nearly 200USD for a used on on craigslist. I'd take my sd card with the lastest files and say I'd only buy it if it ran the newest android with no problem.

Unfortunately since I'm on sprint it has to be a sprint model with clear esn
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
Are you using the 1.1 build? I would try the 1.5 ion build, that is the most up to date build. Find instructions here, find files here, and find discussion here.

Consider using zimage found here if it suits your liking.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
Isn't modem only in 1.5? Those of us with certain sprint phones and apparently spreading to some other phones, have lockup problems. Go try the zimage bootlock from the google page and see if it will boot with that zimage.

Ok, so it's pretty awesome. I did a test call to my voicemail. It worked flawlessly. Great work! also, to anyone with an xv6900, use board-htcvogue.panel_type=1 in your default.txt

I got my Bell Vogue almost a year ago, and I believe it was a new one (though it could easily have been a refurb packaged as a new one). The packaging appeared new, but the phone looked like it had fingerprints all over the screen underneath the plastic screen protector flap. What exactly are we missing by having to use the zImage-bootlock version?

Downloaded the lastest 1.5 bundle. Tried running and it just show me a white screen. I tried changing the default.txt to panel 1, 2 and 3 and nothing. #3 locks up at the booting screen. I tried downloading the boot lock file and there is nothing there. The file is empty. Maybe someone with a sprint rom could send me the files there using so I can compare and see what I am missing.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
I'm not sure exactly what we're missing other than the brand new build. Which got rid of the blue keybaord and uses the camera button as a shift button. We also don't have the new led light status but niether of those are a big deal to me. I'm just really happy to have GPS and a camera back on Android.

I've been wondering what in the phone could possibly be different to make some constantly freeze on boot while others have no problem. They should all be the same phone I thought minus the panel types.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] derringdo:
You need 5 files in the root of your sd card (I assume you're getting them from vilord's page):

1. haret.exe

2. default.txt

3. system.img (download system-ion.img and rename it to system.img)

4. zImage (download zImage-bootlock-test and rename it to just zImage)

5. initrd.gz

You don't need to open up any of the files or extract anything. Make sure you don't have a data.img file in the root of your sd card.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thermus:
I donwload all those from the download site rename the zimage folder. Put it all on my sd root and ran haret. Says cannot find zimage file. It automatically makes it a zimage.gz. Is that suppose to happen

******UPDATE**********

Got it to start booting. stuck at

Running an fsck on the SD card

[Touch CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
Are you downloading through your phone or through your computer? I've never had a problem with my pc doing that but if I downloaded through my phone it kept throwing a period after zimage and would not let it boot. I had to transfer it through the pc. Delete the .gz off of the end of it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] derringdo:
zImage is not a folder, it's a file. Right click on the zImage-bootlock-test link and save-as. Then rename that file to just zImage (no extension). No, it should not automatically create a zimage.gz file.

I have really had no issues with android..

( from what i can tell ) What's wrong? I want to use a skined android as old one is boring!

How do you eit default.txt on your device? ? ( iv never had to do this b4 ) only way I can is if I rename it to .pwi then switch it back to .txt but android won't even attempt booting as gets error on lines? even wen I don't edit it just switch it to .pwi then back to .txt get errors on lines? some one help! it seems to boot out of control with all system.img's I needed to rename to system.img from whatever it was labeled wen downloaded?

hi,

I've managed to get the ION build working on the Polaris and it seems to work fine with calls and data.

I have one bug to report and dont know where best to report it, so apologies if this the wrong place. I get a vibrate error whenever I do something that triggers the vibrate like moving app shortcuts to the desktop. The phone starts to vibrate like crazy and only stops when you click the power button.

Has anyone else experienced this and what did you do to resolve this please?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] okcoolthnx:
This was a common problem with earlier builds for our Vogues but has been fixed. Since you're running a Vogue build on your Polaris, I believe you're SOL in terms of getting info from this thread, unless someone more knowledgeable can help you. Sorry!

thanks for replying anyway... we're at a complete stop with development on the polaris so I'm clutching at any straws to get some help.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] punk.kaos:
Just an update incase this helps others. I've been completely unable to get Android GPS support working until today.

Apparently Verizon has locked out the GPS completely in the latest PRI rom.

I flashed down to an older PRI, then flashed a sprint WM6 rom before going back to a stock Verizon WM6 rom, and now my GPS is working in both WM6 and Android. Its not locking quickly, but it *IS* working now.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
If you are using the gps for sprint, there is a .cab that might help you, at least in winmo. There's a sprint gps fix .cab that did wonders for my winmo gps.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] derekwilkinson:
Where can this be found?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] okcoolthnx:
To also add to this WinMo Tangent, if you have any kind of push or recurring data access set up, your GPS will take forever or not work at all because it can't access your data. Most common culprit is the email program. Set everything to check manually and I bet you my "Z" key that your gps will start working.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] exabrial:
I found what I think is a bug with the SMS app on Sprint. If you send a large message (maybe over 160 chars) the network seems to reject your message and the phone goes into a slow loop trying to resend the message. Your friend receives a bunch of garbage and asks you if you're on drugs.

I'll get one of my g/f lab phones and try reproducing the issue. Are you guys using the bug tracker on google code?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
Yes, I know about this, I think it's because android converts it to a mms message and our hacked together sms code can't handle it. Best just to avoid multi part messages for now.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
I've got audio in working but need to write libaudio to get it working in android. I'm away for the rest of this week so that will have to wait. If you want to test it, get zImage-test from my site and do:

dd if=/dev/msm_pcm_in of=/sdcard/pcm bs=4096

This should produce a 16 bit pcm file on the sdcard. Sometimes it takes a while to start so give it about 30secs.

Keypad and Compact Qwerty Gone

Since loading the most recent of Vilord's files from http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/downloads/list my Phone Keypad and Compact QWERTY are no longer working. They were working in the previous build.

I am able to go into locale and text/ touch input/ keyboard types and select either. But now whenever I go to use them the standard cupcake qwerty pops up instead. I haven't heard any other mentions of this issue, so I am either making a stupid mistake, or no one else uses those input methods.

Thank you so much to Vilord and anyone else working on this. This went from being questionably maybe as functional as winmo (Android 1.1 early on), and now I can't imagine a reason to ever go back.

2.6.27

Martin, it looks like to get wifi working on the kaiser, and to get bluetooth working on all the phones, we need 2.6.27 (wifi needs user wakelocks, bluetooth needs hsuart)

Have you looked at the htc-msm-2.6.27 branch on linuxtogo? From the sounds of it, things are pretty well working on the raphael... what do you think would be needed to bring all your hard work on 2.6.25 over to that?

[Touch CDMA Android Development] exabrial:
Hey Vilord, is the 'hardware' keyboard gone? Im pushing the camera button and nothing is happening. I really didn't use the keyboard, but I did use if to change orientation when ION asked me to 'slide the keyboard out'

I like the volume change! excellent!

oh also GPS is *finally* working! It doesn't even work in windows mobile, so whatever you guys did, amazing.

Another question, do you have a git repo for 2.6.27 kernel?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
Blue keyboard is gone. To change orientation, hold down camera and press left square directional button.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
I did port the kernel to 2.6.27 and there's a git report on ltg, but it has a nasty bug in the the code so I switched back to 2.6.25. Its probably not a good idea trying to merge with the raph kernel since the A architecture is fairly different. Hsuart should easily backport and the old wifi driver should load. I'm on holiday this week (writing this by a beautiful beach in remote nz on my vogue) but will look at it when I get home.

Martin.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
Hey! Glad you're having fun on the beach :D

I've got hsuart backported about 90%. It loads on my phone, and I have a /dev/ttyHS0 device, but if I try to access it, i get i/o error, and a dmesg log shows: Unknown clock! Error setting clock rate on UART.

Any ideas?
