[Touch CDMA Android Development] myshinynewtouch:
folks - i want to try out using the hero theme and i just downloaded it and started using it - but for some reason - my screen looks grainy - never had this problem when i was using the original files from dzo massey website - am i doing something wrong - i am on sprint and i made sure that htc panel = 3 ...

i want to use android full time but i hate that grainy look which i have right now.. pls help
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
check your default.txt. If you want the clearest looking screen, set the resolution to be 320x428.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] hudhawk:
Okay, the latest build rocks.

Thanks thanks thanks to all involved for another awesome build. Every time it gets better and better. I'm using the NK Hero build from 2 days ago and it rocks (just noticed there's an even newer system image available).

Does anyone else have the problem where the modem connection gets dropped and won't reconnect? Is there a workaround for this, short of rebooting?

I'm using Android full-time now, but I bet I have to do this once a day. If I lose my data connection due by losing signal (going underground, etc) it never recovers.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myshinynewtouch:
thanks tatnai - i already have it at that resolution, someone had set their default htc panel = 0 and that seems to work.. looks a lot better..

do these android versions have a problem while in roaming, cause at home i roam a lot and when i start android - it always crashes on everything - it always asks me to force close togga, android - i just installed the hero themed system file.

also when launching google maps - my phone just reset itself..
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mssmison:
I just got back from a long vaction and roaming was great for me. I was running that build long before I had released it.. do you have the latest initrd and zimage files? If you do than try a fresh data file.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
Togga shouldn't be in a 1.5 install, only 1.1. Did you install Togga into your 1.5, or are you running 1.1?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myshinynewtouch:
hi msmison - great job on the hero theme - really really like it - where can i find these new data files, i can't seem them on the google code website.. yes, i have the latest initrd and zimage files which i downloaded of the website yesterday.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myshinynewtouch:
i didnt install togga - i downloaded the whole android ion package last week and updated my system, initrd, zimage files yesterday...

i am on sprint - when in roaming i see $htc_irind$ as service provider name...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
when we say try a fresh data.img, it means you delete or rename the one you've got and boot without it, one will automatically be created by the system if it does not see one present at boot up.

mssmison's themes/ etc

mssmison, i absolutely love the hero theme you put together! Thanks for all the work!! i saw that it disappeared off the google vogue site, but this is the version i want to run when all development is done on it (bluetooth, flashable rom etc.) Will i be able to download your work in some other place in the future with the additional upgrades in place? Thanks again, Adam

**AHHH...sorry, i just found that mssmison is back from vacation and will still be working on some stuff with a new sense ui ...THAT's GREAT!!! I am looking forward to it to following what you and ALL the Devs have going on. YOU GUYS ARE INCREDIBLE!!!! (Ion Android for Vogue thread)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myshinynewtouch:
thanks tatnai - that worked, infact solved a lot of other problems tooo - and might i say - Android rocks - completely blown away by android now - if only i have working bluetooth - i am sticking android full time... keep up the good work guys - really msmison - u rock man - i am big time nfsfan fan - his 6.5 roms are the absolute best, but u have made my vogue a phone to enjoi - now i dont even want to upgrade my phone....

it's amazing that the camera's quality is so outstanding! way better than WM 6.x quality. It's very clear and no motion blurs.

The camera is working very nicely. Will video be developed? Using the camera mode it has video, but when going to the camcorder mode it doesn't have video. Is it because the codec or something need to be developed for camcorder mode?

Thanks! Great work!

[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] fireshaper:
I was wondering the same thing. And there aren't many changes you can make in the settings.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] imfloflo:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:

no additional setting. When I use WM 6.5, there are heavy motion blurs, I had to keep it very steady. But with Android, there were virtually no problem. It's almost the quality of camcorder when I view it. Except it doesn't have camcorder capability yet on Android.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] david636:
Hello. Not to jump off topic, but, I'm getting some feedback coming through the speaker when I have my Touchdroid on silent/vibrate. I believe its draining my battery. Is there something that I can do to solve my audio issue here. It's always on. Also, my sms, mms notifications seem to not work also. I have the newest kernel entered.

Thanks for the help in advance. Great Job on the Port also. Android has helped me in many ways with my flashing addiction. I thank all you tech/developers making our phones a better than the average joe.

Martin:

The sensitivity and accuracy of the Vogue digitizer is significantly improved, thanks! I have a question, though.

Is the calibration data collected by the "calibrate screen" app persistent?

It does not seem to be, from my observation. That is, it seems that I need to rerun the calibration app every time I boot my Vogue.

where do i look in the zImage or system.img for keybinding settings? i'm looking into writing an app that catches input and redirects it to different android keys based on context
[Touch CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:

There are a lot of people with different ideas on key layout. This would be a great enhancement so people could season to taste.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cointelbro:
well what i'm hoping to do is just have a way for center-button press-and-hold to be menu, and to make the power and end buttons mimic windows mobile

I downloaded "better keyboard" but the default keyboard is still showing. Is there a way to change the default one?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
just hold your finger down on an input box (not a widget), and it should give you a menu option to change it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] adeyo:
slider / center hold button

I really like that idea too...center hold for the slider (i don't think center hold does anything currently, just a short press). I do however, currently prefer the Android mapped power button and end (red) button (i.e.Android: home screen & recent programs for power and silent/airplane/power options for red end button).

just my 2 cents, but slider would be a nice volume/silent/vibrate rocker as is currently in minmo and i wouldn't have to use it often or use two hands to perform volume adjustment.

CDMA Functions

I'm probably slow to notice. Come across this link tonight. http://androidcommunity.com/android-os-2-0-donut-released-to-devs-multitouch-cdma-and-more-20090726/

I see that people are porting some of the more useful additions to the G1. Is there any hope that some of the CDMA functionality being built in could help our devs with MMS on our CDMA Vogues?

Love the work you guys are doing. I enjoy every minute of time I get to use Android. I really look forward to the day that I can use Android full time. While I can live without bluetooth (I'd rather not), I do have to use MMS for work. So I have to slum with WinMo during the day, and party with Android in the after hours.

Keep up the wonderful work!

Real tethering

(Tethering over USB) Would it be possible to get a kernel that has iptables enabled, and a system image (or initrd) that has the iptables command? I have a script that uses 'adb forward' to setup a route between tcp ports on the laptop and Android, then the script runs pppd on each side that talks via nc between them over the forwarded tcp port. This works great to get a network going between my laptop and Android, but I need to setup a NAT (actually a PAT, a/k/a masquerading) to be able to then route packets from the laptop out the other ppp data connection to Sprint.

-david

The script so far looks like:

#!/bin/sh

#-- Adapted from: http://qedragon.livejournal.com/89995.html

#-- Note: Must run as root on your laptop

set -x

export PATH=/local/android-sdk/tools:$PATH

#-- Turn on packet forwarding in kernels

echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

adb shell "echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"

#-- Need a phone...

adb wait-for-device

#-- Forward port

adb forward tcp:12000 tcp:12001

#-- Get around Google's silly attempt to disable pppd for incoming connections

adb shell ln -f -s /dev/pts /dev.pts

#-- Bring up PPP

adb shell /system/xbin/pppd nodetach nodeflate noauth pty "nc -l -p 12001" 192.168.3.1:192.168.3.2 &

#-- Give time for pppd & nc to initialize the TCP connection on the handheld

sleep 3s

pppd nodetach nodeflate noauth defaultroute pty "/usr/bin/nc localhost 12000" &

### Add iptables commands here to setup PAT/masquerading on Android ###

delete all icons/widgets from your home pages. Then, swap out all the other files (initrd.gz, zimage, system.img) leaving your data.img in place. this may or may not work, but I think it should; only way to find out is to try it.

You will have to input the corrrect settings in the default.txt file yourself.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] david636:
Very true!!!!

Issues 2 and 3 have been brought up several times in this thread, but I don't think these issues have ever been resolved.

Also the speaker continues to put out a constant hissing.

Thanks dzo adns f00bar. You guys did and amazing job so far on this port.

Btw: Palm Pre Port in the works yet? :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
What do you mean, "constant?" Your speaker hisses from the moment you boot android to the moment you shut it down?

There's an app for that.

Oh... I mean thread. There's a thread for that. Doesn't look too promising though. Android's open source, which is why we're able to do this. WebOS is based on top of Linux, but much like OSX, the user interface is closed-source and would likely be multitudes more difficult to port than android has been.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mssmison:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] david636:
Not from boot, but when the speaker is initiated it pops and a hissing sounds does not stop. You need to put the phone speaker up to your ear to hear the hissing.

Thanks for the quick response.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] david636:
I hope I'm the only one experiencing this audio issue cause then I messed up somewhere installing android and I can reinstall it. I love the OS and would keep it on my vogue......... Until its done for the Raphael.. Then it's on like Donkey Kong. I'm leaving WinMo!!!!!!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
I suggest reinstalling. I've never had that issue, but it sounds like it could drain your battery and your patience quickly.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] diesburg:
i know this is a stupid question, just wanted to make sure... when a file like initrd is updated with a new one, like the 7-29 and 7-30 ones on the google code site now, do the most recent ones, like now the 7-30 ones always have fixes from previous ones, like the 7-29 long sms sending fix
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
Yes. And if they have to take something out, I imagine they'd be kind enough to tell us that they removed a previous fix.

For instance, when they added adb support, they posted on the forums that usb-ethernet would no longer work.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
Well, I can tell you I don't have the issue. When I boot up and watch the linux text scroll up the screen, one thing I noticed is that it says something like "Speakerphone is OFF" towards the end of it, a few moments before the splash screen comes up. Do you get that?

Do you have any apps installed in WinMo that could affect the audio device?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] diesburg:
so we have to lose features to get new features.... if there was a flashable rom, would vogue android be able to be completed with all fizes and features?

anyways, i'm having problems with my memory card..... i am currently using vogue android on a 256 mb card.... i want to use my 4gb card, and have tried it ever so often, but everytime i run into problems, one thing i noticed is that when android is loading, before the android logo screen, i see "device i/o error" of some sort several times when i use the 4gb card.... i dont see that at all with my 256mb.... and android will never finish loading most of the time on the 4gb card, and when it does, i have problems with apps force closing that do not when i use the 256 card.... and suggestions? i have already formatted the 4gb card several times, fat32, with windows format utility and an hp format utility i found online...... and the disk utilities such as scandisk, defrag, that are included with windows i have used on the card, still the same thing
[Touch CDMA Android Development] diesburg:
ok, so is the ppp username and pass in default.txt for internet? sms? both?

im asking, because whatever i have my ppp username and pass set to in default.txt, it doesnt affect my internet in android....... i noticed that my settings in epst (##778) in windows determines if my internet works or not..... my hdr auth pass is my esn, if i change it to something different, then start android, the internet will not work just like in windows...... i think i know, but im not sure, is the ppp username and pass in default.txt and in windows epst settings for 1x net and text messages, and the hdr auth pass is for evdo?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
I don't know if I'd go so far as to say we have to lose features to get features. That one case i mentioned with the usb-ethernet being lost when adb was implemented, that's the only case I can really think of. The goal here is obviously to make Android work as well as possible.

Basically, flashing android to the phone's internal memory will do a couple things for us. One, it should be noticeably faster. Two, we'll be able to implement the usb-mass-storage driver for the SD card (usb-mass-storage requires that the media is unmounted, and since we are running the OS off the media, we can't unmount it). Three, there's a fair chance that eventually we won't need WinMo on our phones at all, although the actuality of that is yet to be determined.

With a flashable image, we'll still have things to tackle like Bluetooth, modem stability, radio initialization, etc etc.

I've renamed this thread so we can use it as a place to discuss kernel topics. Since there are a number of other userspace threads (for the ion, hero and cupcake android builds) it's probably best if people use those for non-kernel posts.

You can use this thread to report kernel crashes, ask for things in the kernel to change or let us know if anything is broken.

There's still plenty of work to be done on the kernel...

[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
I'd like to get the panel on vogue (and polaris too i think) to autodetect so people don't have to put a panel type in default.txt, this will also be necessary for a flashable image. So, can people boot with the following kernel:

http://cs-alb-pc3.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/zImage-mddi

and then post or send me the dmesg lines starting with mddi. The easiest way to get this is to use "adb shell" and then do "dmesg | grep mddi".

I just need a few examples for each panel type to be able to write the detection code.

Thanks,

Martin.

Note: this kernel won't switch the panel off correctly so don't use it for anything else.
