Anyone tried the latest from today on a Titan? I'm getting kernel panics when I try to boot into Android. First couple of times I tried loading it, it hung while trying to extract system.gz so I manually extracted using 7zip and now it starts loading fine but gives the panic error after "snd_open(1)". It appears to be trying to open the sound device but i'm not 100% sure :confused:

With the new build, me internet works now, but, how do I add contacts to the contacts list?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Nickman1:
Since I don't contribute here, I am only a guest and if I find any interesting facts in my use, I post.

But seriously this question has been asked. Read the post in this thread and you will find that your question has been answered.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jaredakelly:
noob picking on noob?? :rolleyes:

nickman i understand dude there is 217 pages of posts!

what you need is: my.funambol.com

upload your contacts from winmo and then when in android download the android version to sync the contacts. let me know if this helps
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Nickman1:
I know there are a lot of pages but there are ways around re-asking. for instance, I picked Android up around the November 5th release. So, naturally I started reading posts from around that date, and performed searches for the things prior.

Besides there are only so many pages because there already is a whole lot of duplicate info.

No ill will intended. :D

Toggle Intrid

Has anyone got this working with dzo's newest build? It does not work for me.

I'm using Sprint with WDM's v1.6 ROM

I get the following message: Turning ppp connection on. kill: cannot kill pid 525: Operation not permitted
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Magister2k7:
Well... you'd better go to the Titan thread.

Because it mostly works on Titan, as hardware is almost the same :) (haven't tried latest build though)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] grktaurus83:
The only time I have seen this is when you try to run the toggle without being root. You need to run this script as root for it to work. Please follow the directions listed on the download page.

Seems this is one unlucky page of questions, eh Nickman1? Haha.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] grktaurus83:
After the previous post about script failure due to permission requirements, I tested an idea I had and I found a workaround to the root access requirement. So now, you no longer need to run the toggle as root for it to work.

The script has been updated to v06. Get it at http://prometheus.usc.edu/initrdtoggle and enjoy.

This should also make running the script from an apk easier.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] retrobits:
Togga.apk

This apk is meant to work with grktaurus83's initrdtoggle. The "check status" button executes "/bin/ifconfig ppp0" and the "toggle" button executes "/toggle.sh". Both are executed under su. I've tested that it works using both initrdtoggle v05 and v06.

Hopefully this makes all your toggling an easier and much more satisfying experience. ;)

download link:

http://www.retrobits.net/android/Togga_100_retrobits.apk

P.S. I've noticed that running ifconfig too quickly after toggle.sh disturbs the connection process, so I added a small wait indicator after you tap toggle.

I put all files in the right spot and it worked on my touch two weeks ago now I when I launch haret and hit run it states Failed to load file\initrd-android any ideas.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] revertive:
MTYPE stands for MACH TYPE, lets call it the model type so its easy te remember ;).

My impression is that the devices with 128rom and 64ram arent gonna boot android anytime soon without some more storage. I can confirm that android boots with nfs, the nfs patition began as 40mb (uncompressed initrd-android) and after android booted is was about 70mb so the device just doesnt have enough space to boot android.

Where trying to get sdcard support into the linwizard kernel but it will take some time, so for now everyone can try to boot from linwizard-0.2.0, then mount the nfs share on your computer and chroot into it. And play some with android.

It isnt functional because we dont have touchscreen support in the kernel. and you'll be greeted with an error message, which is because i dont have a full initrd the initrd that i found is missing some files. So if anyone has a full android initrd for ill be thankfull.

Ill try to keep you guys up to date on the progress on the linwizard kernel.

Hey guys,

Maybe this is not the right place to ask this question, but I would like to ask you if this version has the chance to work on HTC Prophet? I have uploaded the files on my Prophet and it starts booting but in the moment it reads relocating kernel (or something like that) the screen goes white and its over. Does any has any idea if android can be redone in a way that will boot on Prophet?

I am sorry if I am asking a stupid question but I really do not know much about Linux. Any help or directions will be appreciated.

By the way congratulations for the advance you made on the android development.

call waiting

Martin,

Have you made any progress on 3-way/callwaiting? I've been running android 24/7 for a couple weeks now and the only real problem I've run into is if im using the phone and someone else calls me. I heard the call-waiting beep during the call but android does not recognize a new incoming call, or offer me any ability to switch over to it to answer it. I recall there being some discussion of this about 60 pages ago, but I can't find those threads. I'll keep digging in the forum for now, but was this a known issue, or did I miss an update?

EDIT: I've emailed you a copy of the radio logcat as described in post 1705.

--Daniel
[Touch CDMA Android Development] grktaurus83:
Awesome! I will be trying this out in a bit and I'll post my results as well.

Edit: Very nice! Works like a charm and makes toggling a snap. Maybe with this Martin may include the toggle in his next build? If not, I'll try to make an updated initrd.toggle whenever Martin puts out a release (for those of you who would like to keep using it). Again, excellent work retrobits!

I believe it is still a known issue that hasn't been resolved yet.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mlin:
Thanks, I tried the first few times typing su first. perhaps my spacing was incorrect because it didn't do anything. Thanks for the work around, I will give it a shot now. What does 'su' stand for anyway?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] grktaurus83:
su stands for "switch user."

If you don't supply a username after the su (such as "su grktaurus83"), then it assumes you are trying to switch to the root account (equivalent to typing "su root").

You'll know whether or not the command succeeded by the symbol in front of your command prompt. "$" means you're running as a non-root user while "#" means you're running as root. If it succeeds, your $ will become a #.

Let me know how the new script works out for you.

Oh and you should check out retrobits toggle apk (a page or two back). You don't need to use the command line to switch over any more and you can make a shortcut onto the home screen! It's great!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] suanccd:
Can you please post toggle.sh in your site as well? Many thanks.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] grktaurus83:
Yea, I can go ahead and do that sometime in the next few days. But toggle.sh isn't the major part of the script. I've made significant changes to the setupmodem.sh and added a sleep.sh to the whole thing. I'll probably end up making a google code site for it, probably published under the GPL.

Just remember to give credit where credit is due (to Martin for the connection script and me for the toggle portion).

And remember to give me feedback on my scripts... I use it to improve it's performance/usability.

Take care.

No internet using the most recent files

I'm using android on a bell mobility branded htc vogue and the internet is not working. I had it working intermittently, but after updating to the most recent version from marc's site and using v05 of the initrd.toggle I can no longer get any internet access, or occasionally I get access for long enough to load one or two pages. This is using the default default.txt. I do have a strong internet connection in windows mobile. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] grktaurus83:
At least read the last 5 pages before asking for help. It takes less than 10 minutes and your questions are covered there...

And go ahead and update to the latest version of initrd.toggle (v06).

I've already recommended changing the defaults.txt several times and that usually fixes the problem for people.

username=blah

password=

[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
Hi,

I've put a new build on my site, it includes grktaurus83's toggle initrd and retrobits's Togga apk.

The camera should take 2M pixel images now, it's still a bit quirky though.

The only thing I changed in grktaurus83's initrd is that I added a line to hang up the modem rather than just kill pppd, this should save a whole heap of power.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] smopoim86:
I can't get the toggle to work, I'm on USCC (US Cellular) and only have data if it's connected during boot. I'm using today's release and have put a username in. I'm not sure if I need an actual username and pass on my network or not. When i use toggle, sometimes it gives me a device not found error. Any ideas?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jim256:
Great. Just downloaded, thanks a lot.

I was wondering...does anyone have another maps app? Or could anyone find one? I would just really like to see this go to the fully open-sourced version. And if the current stability of google maps in there is no good then...lets find another maps app!

I personally would much rather go to a more up-to-date version than have a maps app (especially w/o gps). Just my vote.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] ~David:
Thanks for the update dzo, trying it out now :)

By the way, would you be able to provide us with your plans/progress on the following features?

- USB Port (using the ExtUSB for headphones, etc.)

- Bluetooth

- LCD Brightness Control

- GPS/AGPS

Also, is there any way to keep the display in Landscape mode?

Thanks :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] grktaurus83:
The message on screen is from "/bin/ifconfig ppp0" so if you aren't connected to the internet, that's the message you will see. That is normal.

Again, did you try the username/password combination that I've told people several times? (HINT: it's on the page before this one... *sigh*)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
USB Headphones should be easy.

Bluetooth shouldn't be too hard since I think the hardware is the same as the G1 but I haven't looked at it yet.

LCD Brightness is trivial.

GPS is very difficult since it seems the radio doesn't provide a NMEA stream, all I see are low level rpc calls. This is probably why GPS under wince doesn't work as well as MSM7200 devices (where there is an NMEA channel).

Currently there is no way to keep things in Landscape, how would you like this to work?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] grktaurus83:
Oh nice, sounds like lots of progress could me made without significant time/effort. Good luck with these!

Thanks for the hangup addition. I forgot that I needed to hang up the connection.

One thing I was wondering about is uninstalling Togga when it comes time to updating versions. I don't see an option to uninstall Togga in the "manage applications" section for Togga even though the option did exist prior to its inclusion in your current release. Any way around this?

I've made a few minor changes to the toggle script (mostly logging changes and reduced one sleep timer) to help interface with Togga a little bit better. I've been testing it out and it seems to work just fine. I'll be adding in your hang up code and releasing a new version sometime in the next day or so.

Android for Vogue- power display issue

Hey, this might be a dumb question but, ever since i uploaded android, its been running well, the browser, sms, email, and phone works, and I am very impressed, however the only flaw that ive seen so far is that, when the screen turns off or when i press the end key (red button) the scree does not turn on, regardless which button i push, im wondering if this is a known, issue, and if there are any fixes?

[Touch CDMA Android Development] njakobs:
This has been answered several times. They are voice message notifications. One when you get a message and then another when you have deleted the message. (They may also be other system notifications depending on your network) So you just have to live with them in the mean time.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] joeyjones:
You need to remove the extracted filess, not jsut the archives. In my case the archives were in /sdcard/Android/*.img and the extracted files were in /sdcard/*.gz. I may not remember the extensions right, bu the lcoations are right, so look in the root of your sd card for the extraxted files.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
You probably need a newer radio.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
That should work, make sure temp exists, perhaps it needs an absolute path name too. Using the G1 image doesn't work though, it has too much hardware specific stuff and the odex files don't work on the emulator.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] joeyjones:
I had the same issues before I upgraded my radio. It should work fine if you set pm.sleep_mode=3. That did it for me until I upgraded my radio, which ironically also got me gps.

Edit:

To set this you need to add it into your default.txt file.

you add it to the line:

set cmdline "ppp.username=mobile@jamamobile ppp.password=telecom"

so that it will become:

set cmdline "ppp.username=mobile@jamamobile ppp.password=telecom pm.sleep_mode=3"

But make sure to keep any other settings you are using in there.

Did you copy the new initrd.gz accross? Try deleting everything android related (except data.img) on your card and starting again.

I did that already, actually. And I posted that comment before I realized there was a newer version up than the one I had from the 29th.

Although, I may have accidentally deleted the data.img file by mistake, so if you have another copy up on your site, I'll try that.

Any word on being able to uninstall Togga? I'm trying to test a different version of the apk that was made but the names conflict.

It might be better to include an AndroidApps folder with the Togga apk inside your releases so that the two can be updated separately because including it in your build doesn't allow us the ability to uninstall it.
