Open the kbd and press sym 0 to get a console and sym 6 to go back to the UI. It doesn't work that well though because keypresses still go to android as well as the console. For remote shell access you could compile ssh for android and get it to connect to a server and tunnel telnet to your phone, you could also probably do the same with nc which is on the phone already.

How hard would it be to set up a link via USB? It's difficult to work on ppp when you need ppp for the telnet session.

Thanks for the hard work dzo, is anyone else having trouble inputting their voicemail #? Everytime I try to save it, it says "unsuccessful." I just add a new contact named Voicemail as a workaround.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cr2:
dzo, have you managed to control the pmic registers ? i can watch some A2M_INT3 activity, but still it's too complex to understand what's going on there...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
As i understand it power management is all done by the arm9, on vogue a2mint3 is the modem int, 4 is for data, 5 is smsm, 6 is proc_comm and 1 and 2 are for rpc. the rpc stuff should be the same for you, there is a table near the start of smem (0xb5100000 under wince) that holds the address of the rpc channels (one for commands, one for replies) and other data structures, see vogue-smd.c and smd-private.c

hope this helps, email me if you want more info.

Martin,

If one were to partition their SD card to an ext format (i.e. partition my 2gb card into 1gb fat16/1gb ext), would Android be able to read and write to that partition. (pics/videos/music/etc)?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
when i open the program i get this

make sure you have all the latest files downloaded.

then place system.gz in the root of your card, then

place data.gz in the root of your card.

place all other files somewhere on the device (maybe in the root in a folder called ANDROID for example)

have you already done all this?

also, be sure to have any and all other files named system or data removed from the root of the storage card.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
could you tell me weres the root of my card?

:confused:

thanks for answering that was fast

also i downloaded this one

New SDK Version (1.0)

is that the one am supose to download sorry am new on this >_< intructions for dummies D= P
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jim256:
lol hey man not a problem at all dont worry about it.

the "root" of something simply refers to the very...hmm this is hard to explain.

ok so say you have a C: drive on your computer. you have a folder in there named magicalan stuff. if you put a file in that folder, you have placed it in a folder. if you simply copy and paste this file to drive c:, and you can open drive c: and see:

magicalan [folder], and

whatever file you copied and pasted, then

this file (as well as the folder) are both in the

root

of your c: drive. do you understand? its not prob if you dont, just lemme know.

and yes that is the right one :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
ok so could you tell me were in my phone is the root =]

or is it supose to be on the c0mputee o.o i got confuse.. isnt there a cab or something :p

thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] unsungboxer:
root just means 'not in a folder'. goto your sdcard and dump the files there
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jim256:
just simply copy data.gz and system.gz, then highlight "storage card" (in file explorer or something) and hit paste :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
hmm i got it WOHO but now it says exacting image then it says not enough memory something like that what should i do....my storage card is 512...half of 1g

but it has like 75% full xP how much does it needs or wtf >_< lol
[Touch CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
how much memory do i need?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] kmax12:
battery life?

I have been using this for a couple days aas my primary os. I love using it and showing it off to my firends.

Quick Question: what kind of batter life are you all get?

i did some rough test and i found more battery drain occured in andriod. (i had the screen turned off)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jim256:
i think somewhere in the range of about 400mb
[Touch CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
could i put it on the phone not on the memory card?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jim256:
unfortunately not as your phone does not have that much memory
[Touch CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
pff i cant use it then i dont have that much memory :(
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jim256:
just put those 2 files i mentioned on your card. can you not free up any space on your card to make it so there is enough room?

[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
This is true, when it suspends, it doesn't use the best power saving mode, it does a suspend and wait for interrupt (swfi) rather than a full power collapse (turns off all power to the application CPU). I'm working on power collapse now but it is very tricky.

I was thinking that it would be really useful if somebody wrote a simple contact import app for android. When run it would read a csv file from the sdcard and update your contacts using the contacts content provider. It's not a difficult thing to do for any competent java programmer. I could do it but it would be nice if somebody else did, then I can concentrate on the kernel. Any Takers?.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
dzo could you help me with my question

after installing the andriod thingy lol

When it extracts the two files it needs 128M free on the card, you need to delete something or get a bigger card!

[Touch CDMA Android Development] we350z:
How is this coming along? I have a Palm Treo 800W and am thinking about trying to install linux and android on it. Wondering if it makes sense to just wait a little bit for the final version to come out and then revisit this thread then for instructions.

I found what i think is the kernel for the ARM based OMAP 2430 proc and some additional info on the TI embedded system:

please read a few pages of this thread before posting.

the menu key is up on the volume slider
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Magister2k7:
I can try to do that, I have some skill in java programming (most with Java ME, but that not critical, as language is the same, the only difference is libs).

But as Android is almost unusable in my Mogul... it would be better if someone else will do that :(
[Touch CDMA Android Development] sadoway:
howdy

so ive been following this thread. and just been wondering a few things....

DZO

maybe we could get an new update list to where the project is at.

maybe you can also post a few jobs for people to help you with.....

-----

i would love for the dialpad numbers not to overlap, to be the right size, but thats just cosmetics right now.

my sdcard still will now show ANYTHING when i try to media scan it not sure if im doing something wrong.

some people say there sd cards work. so i dunno :P

----

i dont realy like the vibrate when i use the onscreen keyboard. but i could get used to it i guess..

i was also wondering when we might be able to get into the settings function from the home screen.

just my 2 cents. take it or leave it.

i still think what your doing is great and i hope you continue, i think its time for me to finaly give a donation to someone.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
You don't need a working device, just install the SDK and eclipse to get started. I'm sure the Mogul will eventually run android fine, i think there is a kbd driver floating about for it somewhere, check the htc-linux irc logs.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
I haven't had much time to spend on this in the last week, but I'll try to get a few things done soon. My priorities are: Power Collapse, so the battery lasts longer; better keyboard (translucent perhaps); reading media on sdcard; working charge/battery indicator; pppd should connect on demand; vibrate controlled by android rather than my ril; working camera (may have to wait for open source for this since I'm not sure the SDK image supports it);

The dialpad nos are the wrong size because the interface is really designed for a larger screen than we have (also why some menus disappear of the bottom of the screen). When it's all open source we will be able to change this. Scanning for media finds my music and the raw image viewer shows photos I have on the card but it should work better that this.

As for donating, I'm not doing this for the money but if you want to donate, use this:

Timout extracting

Hi,

I have a Bell Touch (htc vogue) and I installed the kit at the root of my sd card (had a '/sdcard/system' not found, but it was because garmin XT create a system folder in the root of the sd card, I renamed it in the meantime to be able to make android work). I have 1GB free on the sd card and the first thing the kit do is extract the image and system file, but I have a lot of 'Timeout' while the extraction is done. The result is corrupted files who don't work. Any idea to solve this? I have a kingston memory card, I don't have the exact model, but I can provide it if relevant.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
Thanks! As for using the console on the phone, yeah, I've tried it... and well, I'd rather not dial random phone numbers every time I hit Enter. But I will try and get a ssh/telnet tunnel set up.

Hi, i'm having this issue not sure what to do: When I launch Android I get: "The file haret cannot be opened.. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file"

I just did a fresh cab install, not sure what I might be missing. Anyone else have this issue?

Ari
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Kiraly:
I had the same problem. I was able to launch Android by using file explorer to navigate to the Android files on my SD card. I then simply open haret and Android loads.

When I installed the CAB, all the Android files were put into "storage_card/program_files/Android". I moved all Android files to the root of my card.

Will someone please explain how one adds applications that can then be used when in the Android environment? ****edit**** I read some on this subject and tried the instructions posted earlier in this thread, which were to add the app files to a folder on the SD card called "AndroidApps". I did this and then added a few programs that I found on helloandroid.com. I also added the httpdownloader.apk from code.google.com/p/android-random. So far the only app that I can see in Android is httpdownloader. Perhaps the others that I added are not compatible with the 1.0 SDK.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] etiger13:
if you used my cab files to install android, then moved the files in the program folder it wont work. the shortcut points to where the files get installed so moving them breaks the link.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Kiraly:
Thank you for your CAB. It made adding the files very easy. I only moved the files after I got the error and read that the files should be in the root of the SD card. At any rate, opening haret manually works just fine.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Kiraly:
I turned on silent mode...now can't turn it off.

I was typing a txt to my brother and got distracted. The phone went into standby with the txt half composed and the keyboard deployed. At first I couldn't wake it. I pushed the red button and then the power button and maybe some other buttons in a random order...but the power button was the last one that I pressed. The phone woke and I saw the keyboard and a button where the txt... err, text should have been, the button said Power Down. I used the D-pad and scrolled up to see another button that said Silent Mode. I pressed the button to see if it would work. Then I wanted to see if I was in some kind of settings menu so I pushed the camera button to exit the keyboard. The settings menu disappeared and the messaging app reappeared. At the top of the screen I now have a music note with a slash through it. I took a picture and then did a soft reset thinking that once I loaded Android again it would no longer be in silent mode. I was wrong. I know that I can uninstall the CAB and then reinstall but I don't want to have to reenter my contacts.

Is there a way to save contacts? OR is there a file that I can replace without uninstalling the whole thing that will revert Android back to stock but not delete my contacts?

I've tried, without success, to recreate the incident. I did learn that one can use the camera button to unlock the screen. This does deploy the keyboard.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
A long press of the end call button should bring up a menu that lets you mute audio, thats probably what you did.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Kiraly:
Yes! Thank you, Martin! A long press of the end call button brings up the menu and I am no longer stuck in silent mode.

VCard import

So, here is my first application for Google Android.

It will import contacts to Android’s address book from a file in VCard (.vcf) format.

Imported fields:

- Name

- All phones

- All emails

- Notes

Limitations:

If contact already exists, it will be deleted and a new contact is created. So don’t use this software for regular synchronization.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] kushdeck:
Truely... Simply... AMAZING!

After running android since the very first public release (thank you dzo for your continued work) I am VERY impressed with the latest work. Here are my 2 cents on what should be worked on and/or fixed.

1. GPS

2. Keyboard.

If you have the image files or the keyboard, if u want to send them over i could do my best to come up with some sort of skin to better fit the theme, and look ALOT better.

3. Dialer.

Same goes with the dialer. It seems as if the images were too big and were scaled down to fit the vogue screen. I am willing to fix the dialer images as well if possible (im not a pro, just my observation). Also the text on the call history tabs overlap the actual pictures. Once again i believe this is due to scaling down for the vogue.

4. Was going to be some sort of contact import, but the post below from Magister2k7 seems to have solved the issue for now. (downloading and testing.)

5. Picture Viewer Does not work. Although Raw image viewer seems to work.

6. Camera. Seems as if it is not finding the memory card for some reason.

7. Bluetooth. Only because its a law to have while driving in the usa.

8. Where do i adjust volume?

These are the problems i can remember off the top of my head. As i stated before, i am willing to do anything needed graphic wise, hence i suck with coding. :)

I am SOOO close to runnin this full time and kicking wm to the curb on my vogue :>

-deck
[Touch CDMA Android Development] rainabba:
dzo,

Just wanted to send out another thanks you to. This project is the best demonstration of Open Source power since Linux hit the desktop PC IMO.

For the most part, I'm just waiting for the right software to go full time, but I'll still find it difficult until bluetooth support is in place. Have you begun to evaluate the challenges there? Any idea if/when you'll take a stab at that?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Kiraly:
Good on you! I'm going to give this a try.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Kiraly:
I agree with your points. I'd like to use the fulltime on my Vogue as well. There are two big points keeping me from this:

1. Keyboard usability - It works, and I applaud the effort to get a working keyboard. However, I find typing with it to be slow and tedious. I fat-finger the buttons at least 50% of the time and end up backspacing almost as often as typing letters. This is with slow and deliberate key presses. Form follows function for me. I'd rather have it work flawlessly than have a pretty skin for it.

1.1 The other problem with using the keyboard is that the screen jumps around while typing. The keyboard stays in one place but the area in which t text is being entered moves around so that at times I cannot even see the text that I'm typing.

2. Contacts entry - This may be solved with Magister2k7's app. This is related to having to use the keyboard.

If we could get the keyboard squared away and the contacts importer works well then I'd say that this makes a decent basic phone for calls, txting, internet and music.

Guys, I am a T-Mobile employee and I went to the event in New York. Its not surprising for somebody to have the phone right now, but luckily somebody who reads the forums haves one!!

I used to follow the Kaisers and the Vogues ROM development. Now I have the G1

I will gladly dump the rom and help this community if somebody told me how to do so.

Reply to this message and please send me a email to raymonf13@gmail.com with instructions on how to do it and I will do it tonight EST after work.

Thanks!

[Touch CDMA Android Development] Kiraly:
I can't seem to get this to "install". I added the file to my "AndroidApps" folder on my SD card. After starting Android the vcard app is not in the applications tab.

Am I doing something wrong?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] unsungboxer:
wow i am really excited to see what we can learn from the official rom. should enable a bunch of things like settings. could also open some hurdles. once again awaiting martin's magic.

not surprisingly this thread is gaining popularity and bringing in new fans and developers. very exciting time to be a vogue owner...

on a side note; isnt the touch diamond out? anyone try android on it yet?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] kushdeck:
I am having the same problem.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] unsungboxer:
ya i dont think that process works. ill add it to my apps tomorrow then release a data.img you guys Can use... unless someone beats me to it
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
That would be Fantastic,

I think what would be really useful are all the apk files in /system/app. I don't know the best way to get them though. When you plug the device into a usb port what do you see, can you get access to the entire filesystem? If not then I imagine what will have to happen is that somebody must write an app to copy everything from /system/app to the sdcard.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Kiraly:
I tried your apps and stuff. I wasn't sure that I'd like the key mapping but it is actually pretty nice. I like having the volume adjustable as well. The keyboard works much better for me the way you have it configured. At least now I can see if I'm fat fingering the keys. Good job!

Is it hard to edit the data.img? Could you perhaps write down the steps that one takes? A short/quick tutorial perhaps? I'm interested in expanding my knowledge and maybe others are as well. :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] unsungboxer:
its not that hard, but you need a linux computer to mount the data.img since its an ext file system. visit etiger's page ( myhtcphone.com ) to get more details. in the mean time, i will continue to load every app I can find and make them available when possible.

Once we have the ability to download files directly to the phone i wont need to do this anymore.

Crashing at the dialer & after hangup

I have updated to the latest code available at myhtcphone.com, installed the cab (cleaned my card before doing so) Then ran haret. The phone boots into Android without issues & runs the apps fine (though it is still unable to locate my storage card). When I bring up the dialer app, if I hit the on screen buttons, it seems to take a while to process that I've hit a number. At about the second or third number, the phone reboots. If I open the keyboard & dial with the keyboard, I am able to make a call, but when I hangup the phone reboots.

Using an HTC Vogue

Any ideas on what may be going on?
