Hey has anyone got the IM app to work? I have most of the others working.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
Martin mentioned that there are libraries missing, which means that the libraries will need to be compiled from the source code for our phone.

Did you get Calendar working? It crashes right out on me.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shark1987:
where are ya'll getting the apk (app) files from? The basic ones like Calender and Email, and stuff like that. I've seen links to a few websites and none of these apps are on there.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tripleoptic:

Martin posted this link I think that's what you are looking for.

The Email app appears to be just for IMAP support. Has anyone found the proper Gmail app for push Gmail? Also has anyone found/enabled Google Contacts and Calendar sync. These would be killer if we could get them working!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] eoche007:
Not at first, but i included the CalendarProvider.apk and it worked after that. Hope that helps
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shark1987:
Haha, my next question. Also for some reason my internet (data) wasn't working today. But I've used this when the SDK 1.0 version was first released and had no problem. Do you have to have the connection going before you boot android? I know I read this before but I didn't think it was a problem any more.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jim256:
hmm interesting. maybe it was just a2dp that it was missing? idk..

and ya concerning that wishlist idea someone mentioned earlier (maybe you? cant remember, too lazy to look up lol) sounded like a GREAT idea. and this sounds like it could work as well, at least in theory to me.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
It should be able to work, now that we have the source code. I'm far from being an experienced programmer, but I imagine Android looks for a block device in /dev/ (or however the system is structured, i haven't really looked yet) and mounts it to a location. We would just need to recode Android to not look for an actual block device, but a .img file instead, and mount that. I imagine that's how the data.img gets mounted, so it should be pretty much the same thing.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Stork66:
which of these (if any) are already in the main android installation?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] bugzy:
do we put all those apps in the AndroidApps directory and let it boot?

or do we ned to be selective?

its taking like 5+ minutes to boot
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Stork66:
hehe, thats my concern, too. :) :confused:
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shark1987:
yea, I put alot on my card and it's looping through the screen saying hit menu to unlock and the android boot menu. Are you talking about the Android boot screen or the linux screen?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
Interestingly enough, I can't seem to get them installed.

Those first 7 or so apps I installed always remain there, no matter what, but no additional apps show up. I have deleted my data.img and system.img and even plugged in a fresh initrd.gz, even though I'm fairly sure this file doesn't change, tried a different version of haret and everything... the last thing I can think of is to delete the "AndroidApps" folder and create a new one, in the hopes that Android will somehow recognize it as new.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
If you're getting the looping-boot problem, make sure that the SubscribedFeedsProvider.apk file is not included in your folder. You will need to do a fresh install of Android to get around this.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shark1987:
ahh, gotcha. I read about that problem, and when I realized what I did I removed it but I didn't realize I had to start over. thanks

PLEASE READ SOMEONE

This thread is out of control, it's near impossible to search, im just looking for some help

Anyone who was able to install apps, please give me a step by step instruction of how to do so.

I got my android install cab off of www.myhtcphone.com

I can boot, but Im unsure how to use apps, I've tried a "AndroidApps" folder on the root of my sd card, but that doesn't seem to work.

I know a lot of people are looking for the answer to this question, so could someone please explain.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Stork66:
just click 'search this thread' and use keywords. But about your question, as you said a lot of us are waiting but it has only been a few hours since the apps were actually posted :) just give it some time and one of the guys who really knows for sure will respond.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Kiraly:
You did the correct procedure. Create a folder in the root of your SD card named "AndroidApps" put the .apk files in that folder and then boot haret. This worked for me. At first I only put the email, contacts, settings, and calendar files in my AndroidApps folder. I booted into Android, set up my gmail account and sent an email. I changed some settings in the settings menu and then I wanted more so I reset and put the rest of the .apk files in my folder. After I did that I've not been able to boot into Android. I'm going to put new Android files on my SD card and start over. If you have added all of the .apk files, then you might have to start with a fresh install as well. That's what I've been reading on here anyway. I'm not familiar with Androids inner workings but I do know that after I tried to boot with all the .apk files I have been unsuccessful....even after removing the SubscribedFeedsProvider.apk file.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shark1987:
I'm running into the same problem. I can only see email, calendar (doesn't boot guessing because it's not recognizing the calendarprovider.apk), global time, snake on a phone, alarm clock, settings, and then i also added a few others that don't show up anywhere. mainly i'm looking for the sync application to see if it syncs to google contacts & calendar
[Touch CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
I put most of the apps besides the subscribed feeds one. Most of them I can't see on the phone.

I got email working just fine.

Camera still gives me the SD card message, pictures and music don't say anything about it.

Calender gives me a com.android.calendar has stopped unexpectedly every time

Contacts still don't synch

Notepad works in a way, a bit of a pain though

snake works just fine

Not sure why androidapps isn't working for some people
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shark1987:
If you tried booting with the subscribedfeedsprovider.apk on your card you need to re-copy/install the android files onto your phone. it messes everything up and even after you take it off it still loops in the boot menu. this was answered for me like five posts up!!! come on people, read!!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fletch259:
I am on Sprint and I have to have a data connection initiated in WinMo before it will work in Android. Also I have random issues with the phone waking up in Android. Sometimes it will, sometimes it won't. If I let it sit awhile and come back to it, then it will wake up! However I haven't tried dzo's newer power collapse kernel. May give that a shot.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Kiraly:
You might want to do some of that reading yourself. In the paragraph that you quoted I state that a fresh install is needed.....;)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shark1987:
wow, i must have literally skipped over reading that one sentence lol. sorry man.

so you've deleted all the files, and then copied back the unused files from your computer and they're still not working? what do you mean unsuccessful? are they just not listed in the apps menu?

one other thing for everyone. in the settings menu>applications>manage applications I can see the other apps that are on the card but can't launch them. sync is on the list

so maybe sync doesn't do what i thought it did. does anyone have a program description or something for these apks?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
I'm going to attempt to put the apk files right into the /sys/apps directory.

This is the first thing I tried (I missed the note about an AndroidApps folder) but I copied everything, and got the looping-boot issue, and assumed that I had done the install wrong.

I will let you all know how it goes... but it will have to wait a few hours until I get home. I'm at my parents' place with no Linux, and FTPing/ssh'ing, not to mention that my old laptop only has USB 1.1, would be a bit of a pain.

Improvements

Wow guys just tried a few apps and it's incredible how much things can be done in one day ... cannot wait for tomorrow ;).

I tried downloading some twitter app from a android apps download website and putted it in the AndroidApps folder, it doesnt seem to do anything anyone tried something like that ?(beside Martin's compiled apps)

I'm thinking of trying to rewrite the dialpad to better fit our screen someone know if another guy is doing that ?

Thanks guys, I think it's the first time I really enjoy playing with my vogue ! (it seems sooooo.. ooooo much faster with android!

[Touch CDMA Android Development] Kiraly:
No worries. :)

No, I was just explaining that it didn't work for me after trying to boot with the subscribedfeeds file. That was before I did the fresh install. It works after doing the fresh install.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
Hi,

I've made a new system image and updated the kernel, get the latest release from my web site. I haven't been able to get all the open source apps working since the Google login service doesn't seem to be included and many of them need this. Email works though.

http://cs-alb-pc3.massey.ac.nz/vogue/android-23-10-08.zip

I've included the power management code in the kernel but it's not enabled by default because it's not completely stable. To try it, read the comments in default.txt.

For max power savings you need to power down the panel but I haven't written the panel detection code yet so your panel type needs to be passed to the kernel. Just try panel types 1..3 until one works, I have type 1. If none of them work, then my code is wrong, and use type 0 (the default) which means don't power down the panel.

I'll carry on working on the apps, did somebody say they had the calendar app working?

A known problem is that sometimes the display doesn't come on after a suspend, if this happens don't panic, press the red end call button, wait till it suspends (led is red) and power on again.

When using power collapse, I have also seen it suspend and not be able to be woken up, but I can only get it to do this when connected to the phone remotely so it may not be a problem. Let me know if it happens.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] eoche007:
@dzo

I have the calendar app working for me, and I tested the reminder and it worked perfectly.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Kiraly:
Are you using it with Google Calendar?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
Which of the apks did you install?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] eoche007:
I can't remember all the apks I added all together, but when you 1st uploaded the apks, I installed email.apk, notepad.apk, calendar.apk, settings.apk and IM.apk. Everything showed up in my application list with the exception of IM.

however, when I launched the calender apk, it didn't work. So I included the CalendarProvider.apk and it worked. Hope that helps. And thanks for all your hard work on this.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shark1987:
yea, i'd like to know what you did to get it working?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
I put in calendarprovider.apk and calender.apk both and I got the error message I posted not far back. Trying again now with the new file

I uninstalled the previous version. Deleted the android app folder. Put in the new files and ran android. The previous api's were showing up. Were the api's put into the new files or do I need to clear something else to get rid of them and start over? Curently having same error with calendar.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
I figured it out, you have to go to dev tools, then google login service, click on "require google" and put in a valid gmail account and password. Now the calendar works.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shark1987:
you are amazing!!! booting into android now!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] eoche007:
I guess that was why mine was working...I already had a valid google login service. Anyways, thanks for the heads up.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shark1987:
just tried it, the calendar comes up now but when I go to my calendars I get an error saying "Sorry the process com.android.calendar has stopped unexpectedly"
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Stork66:
So when I want to remove the last version and update to the newer release, do I just delete the Program Files\Android\ Folder and then it's all uninstalled? Then I just copy the files from the zip folder of the new release to my SD card in the Program Files\Android folder?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] njakobs:
To get this to work in the default.txt do I just remove the '#' or do I need to add set cmdline in front of it?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] bugmenot:
dzo, are the new images just the old images with the new apps added, or are they rebuilt entirely from the new SDK release?

Also, thanks for making the kernel changes easy to track w/ git -- did you document anywhere or make any kind of diff for your exact changes to the base image?

I finally got the SDK to build (seems like ubuntu cross-compilers are broken, e.g. try "gcc -m32 -lz somefile.c"), and I want to make the dialer look non-retarded in QVGA.

Help

I am not sure if I am doing something wrong but before the new updates Android was working fine for me. I extracted Martin's new files in the main sd card directory but when I try running android my phone keeps going to the android screen taking a minute or 2 then the screen goes blank for a few seconds then back to the android screen. It keeps going like that for 15 minutes and it never changes. I am running it off of an 8gb micro SD.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pchasco:
Search the thread. The solution has already been posted within the last few pages.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Kiraly:
What am I doing wrong

Figured out what my mistake was. I was extracting the files instead of just putting them on my SD card as-is.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Littlefield:
We really need an 'Android/Vogue Development' Sub-Forum; many repeat questions and lack of organization.

Anyways found a bug: When my phone goes to take a nap the only way to unlock is the keyboard button and after that the Up/Down Volume sliders are unfunctional :eek:
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pchasco:
What a coincidence! That's been answered in the thread too!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Littlefield:
Case in Point :)

Edit: But for the record, I don't see anyone having this problem...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pchasco:
Hmm perhaps you're right. I thought you were speaking to the waking issue where the phone won't wake.

Are you using dzo's keymapping or the modified keymapping where the up/down sliders actually adjust volume?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fletch259:
Ok I just installed dzo's latest build and it worked straightaway! I copied all the files in the zip to the root of my sd card and android booted up fine. I got Calendar to work, but it doesn't appear to be syncing. Anyone get to sync with their Google calendar?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] derekwilkinson:
ALP got released today, maybe we could have that on our Vogues :D
[Touch CDMA Android Development] d3mon187:
Well I started from scratch with Dzo latest pack, threw all the apks in the androidapps folder (except for the one causing the reboot problems), and it all booted and loaded up fine. I screwed with the settings, and got it all configured like I wanted it with google login and all.... and then I got a call. Seems when the screen goes dark about 15 or so seconds into the call the mic and speaker go dead and even waking the phone back up doesn't do anything.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] Littlefield:
Dzo's keymapping - it'll work until the phone goes to sleep
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fiyazkhan:
Impressed!

To DZO and everyone else that's contributed,

Great work!! I'm an amatuer at this stuff but I'm really liking the quality work you're putting out, and how easy to use it is. I randomly ran into a project manager at Google that said people were already building Android for WM6 devices, so I decided to find out for myself. Anyway, thanks a lot!!

I'll have to read through this thread to iron out the kinks but just thought I'd say this is great work!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] gima2002:
I searched it. I tried removing all the applications so there is nothing in there but I am still having the same issue of being stuck in that look on the main Android screen. I deleted all the old files and put the latest files posted by Martin.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
I had a problem with the keys as well. I'm not sure what triggered it, if it was the going to sleep like mentioned or me playing with the lock feature where you have to draw a design to unlock the phone. It was unlocked, the touchscreen worked, but none of the keys worked. I realized this when I tried pulling out the keyboard. Then the menu, up, end, and power keys all failed to work. Tried the send key and nothing. Had to pull the battery.

I still haven't got my calender to open up. Gives me a error message.

Did you use the Google Login Service first? It's in the dev toolkit
[Touch CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
I did login to google through dev first. It pops up to messages but the second pops up so quick I can't read the first message.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shark1987:
and you have the calendarprovider.apk too? that's all i had to do to get it working.

but it still won't sync with my google calendar but i can create one on the phone if i want.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shark1987:
Yea, same here. It's stuck on the screen that says press menu to unlock but the slider isn't working but it works before it goes to sleep. The keyboard button still works though. I can turn it on and off as many times as I want and it still won't work.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Kiraly:
To get the calendar to work*:

@ Android home screen, flip up the applications tab

tap Dev Tools

tap Google Login Service

tap Require Google

enter your username

enter your password

tap Sign in

On the lower left of that same screen it appears as if one can enter passwords for other services as well.

*This does not enable syncing with Google Calendar.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] gponick:
So I'm not quite able to get this working. I've got a Sprint Titan running DCD's 3.0.1 rom. I've unzipped the 10-23-08 Android from Dzo(Martin)'s site to \Storage Card\Android Stuff and copied the two images to \Storage Card\. I can boot and use Android FLAWLESSLY - except I have no on screen keyboard. I managed to bring it up one time with the camera key, and that just caused my phone to act as if the down arrow key was permenantly depressed, as well as the enter key - cause it to scroll to the bottom of each window, hitting things as it went. Odd. Anyway - how do I bring up the on screen keyboard(camera key should work, but doesn't seem to)? Other than that it works great. Internet, Maps, Phone all work.

Settle down hoss. I've read the *entire* thread. Your attitude is not going to get you much help.

Since you didn't state any of that in your OP, am I supposed to know the intent of your post? From my perspective your OP looked like it was from someone who was clueless and hadn't read any of the thread. I don't know you from shinola. I can't read your mind. If you want detailed answers then post detailed questions.

If you want advice, how about addressing those with titans whom are using Android on their *titans*. Something like this, "Those of you with Titans, how are you getting it to work.....", would be sufficient.

SD Card Update

(yes, we really do need a subforum so we can post all this stuff and not get lost, this is getting ridiculous)

Anyway... I managed to find the Terminal Emulator under Dev Tools... while it's incredibly painful to use with the onscreen keyboard, I did manage to find that there is a /sdcard/ directory at the root of the filesystem. This directory contains the actual contents of my SD card, as far as I can tell.

This might help to figure out why apps don't see an SD card, although now I'm more puzzled about it than I was before. Perhaps Martin adjusted the base system to see the SD card, but the apps are looking somewhere else for it... Curiouser and curiouser.

Looks like there are some issues with the latest kernel and suspend mode, I'll get it fixed asap. One other problem is that if you boot with the gps on, the phone will reboot sooner or later, this is because my rpc code doesn't understand the gps messages yet.
