can u help be out with the internet connection thing? Sprint Vogue. i edited my username in the default.txt file to fit my username. and get my password to my s/n. am i doing something wrong?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jsun21:
Togga should come installed with your android release. Open up the menu of programs then scroll to the bottom, it should be there. Make sure you set the ppp username and password correctly in default.txt.

I CANT EFFING FIGURE OUT HOW TO UPDATE MY RADIO

i see all these walkthroughs on how to flash the xv6900 to get a new rom to update the radio but the roms say update the radio before you flash with the rom wtf

can i just update the radio without flashing and using a rom?

if so please tell me how

if not please tell me how also

PLEASE AND THANK YOU I NEED AUDIO IN ANDROID
[Touch CDMA Android Development] derekwilkinson:
You aren't flashing to a ROM... imagine this as an emulator...

And Android has Audio. You just make no sense... :confused:
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dvhix:
That was my problem for a while also, I made sure to delete all the files on my phone, re-downloaded the most recent and resync them and it fixed me up.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mletourneau:
works good but radio not

Yeah ! that boots Thanks dvhix

I am just not able to use radio... anyone knows Bell Mobility ppp.username and password?

and... is there a way to hit dial button that does not work yet?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Katsuro:
Bell Mobility is:

username: <10 digit phone number>@1x.bell.ca OR <10 digit phone number>@1x.mip.bell.ca

password: original voicemail password (the one that was given to you before you changed it, should be 4 digits)

I should tell you now though, this just won't work on Android, i've tried it. the only way to get Data access working is to have an active data connection before loading Android (browse the internet on PIE or Opera before loading android)

EDIT: Also, I believe in order to get Android to fully use the Radio for data connection, it needs to dial out a data number (#777 for most CDMA cases) to start a data connection. Android doens't do this, so it can't get a connection without already having an open connection at boot. Maybe in the next release we can have data dialout? That would be cool, no rush though :P Just trying to help.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
This is not true, my initrd dials #777 and connects using pppd, if you have the correct credentials it will work. It will also work if you already have a ppp session open in wince though.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mletourneau:
So should I change the line "Username=my number@1x.bell.ca, Passwors==2469' For something else in the default file?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] alx5962:
I just successfully got my htc touch (elf) ethernet gadget working under xp, but i cannot find some inf about linwizard network...

how is it configured by default ? is there a telnet server too? as the touch has no keyboard so I cannot login.

edit: fixed; i even launched startx on my htc elf
[Touch CDMA Android Development] PeterDLai:
I left the default.txt alone and activated my data connection before booting up Android on my Sprint Touch and everything is working as it should I think.

It's amazing that you're making progress with this! Please keep it up! :)

Hi vogue people!

As I already anounced in the kaiser android thread we have an own git repository now for htc msm kernel development now. It is on

http://git.linuxtogo.org/?p=groups/mobile-linux/kernel.git;a=summary;h=htc-msm

would be nice if somebody could try and build the kernel for vogue and see if it boots/works. There have been some changes in our tree and I don't know if it's still working for vogue since I only have a kaiser to test. Should be no problem though because it's based on dzo's patches.

cheers, lukas

Hi, just found this thread, and I did my best to read the ~26 pages, but I still have a few questions:

a) Has anyone tried this on the HTC Hermes (100) / Cingular 8525? Is the hardware theoretically enough to support Android (i know it's similar to the kaiser)?

b) If it "could" work, and just needs porting done, I'd like to try. I have little experience writing low-level Linux code, but I'm a pretty decent coder, and I'll learn whatever I need to. Where should I start?

c) Am I correct in understanding that the linux/android install runs side-by-side (non-destructive) with WM6? Can I reboot the phone and get back to a working handset at any time?

Thanks!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jim256:
your answer to C is yes. thats all i know sorry lol, but i figured at least that would get you experimenting and having some fun!

good luck, Jim.

help - htc p4000 (telus) - freezes on boot

hey guys,

just stumbled across this project this morning and decided to give it a shot right away. here's the problem:

so for i've got the 4 files onto my device in their own folder. i soft-reset and closed everything i could b4 running haret. once its running i even go back close the file manager i used to start it(puts me at about 22.5-23mb free). in haret i click run and a booting window pops up, 15 secs pass as the bar fills, then nothing, the machine freezes.

so what am i missing. do i have to modify something in the default.txt, or is my device just not capable. any help would be appreciated as i'd really like to give this a try.

thanx, vic

Update: now that i've read more posts I am getting the impression that this just isn't gonna run on my titan phone. too bad. if i'm drawing the wrong conclusion and someone has gotten it to work please direct me to the steps u used. otherwise i'll just wait until this project or another like it is further along in being able to support my device.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] ericthegreat:
So has anyone had any luck booting this on the Titan?

First off i am verry impressed and excited by this project. it looks sweet and smooth and blows WM out of the water.

Can't wait till it's fully functional(or at least has a keyboard.) Keep up the great work on this it looks verry promising.

i am wondering the same thing. i tried using my MSID as u/n and my ESN as PW but no lock...i will try diff combinations

of MDN MSID and ESN over the course if today. but if anyone knows...

My other thing is setting the time(not a big deal atm since it's not fully functional) how would i go about doing this?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] BlkCat:
Ok, can somebody please help me? I have read 30 pages looking for an answer...

I have the HTC Touch, placed all 4 files into my device (not my SD card) under a folder named Android.

I have tried every single combination of file names.

This is what I have at the moment.

haret

default.txt

initrd-android

zImage

If I run Haret under these settings I get an error that says...

"Cannot open script file \Android\default.txt"

If I remove the .txt from default where I'll then have....

haret

default

initrd-android

zImage

As the filelist, I get this error:

"Failed to load file \Android\zImage"

Thats as detailed as I can make it o.o...any ideas on how to get it to work?

Oh! And here is my default.txt exactly as is:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
Hi, probably the vogue smd driver and networking is the problem, you will need to recompile the kernel and take some of the drivers out. Ask in #htc-linux on IRC if you need help.

I'm still working on this thing, I've written a simple radio interface library that gets more phone functions working and should have a keyboard done soon. I'll post them next week sometime when they work well enough to be useful.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] hoodieninja89:
i dont have audio and im pretty sure it because i dont have the latest version of the radio which is 3.42.50 and mine is 1.60.30

i know im not flashing android on as a rom but i keep reading that you have to have a rom or somthing in order to update the radio and then the roms say to update the radio before flashing on the roms and its a crazy circle and im so confused

i just want to update my radio without flashing on a new rom so i can hear my phone ring when im in android!!!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] hoodieninja89:
thank you!

one question, how do i update this using a mac

from what i can tell winmo 6(.1) doesnt even think about supporting os x, and i obviously cant run .exe files

is there a way i can just run the update on my phone? i dont a have access to a windows computer
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zapat0s:
i dont know enough to tell you how to do that so all i can say is bootcamp with windows or try using parallels or vmware (but i dont know how well that will work)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] etx:
I use a windows xp install under vmware to update my rom on the touch so yes, it will work.

To people having issues with short battery life, Are you using SMS Popup? I swear after installing that app my battery life was cut down to a third of what it was before hand. Just a hunch, but I started from a new data.img without sms popup and my touch lasts for almost two days!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] d3mon187:
I love that SMS popup fixed my issue of the text vibrate notification being too weak and short, but I had a lot of issues with it as well. I'm not sure if I noticed an increase in battery usage, but I'm pretty sure it screwed up after a while and stopped notifying me of texts until I woke the touch up. Hopefully SOMEBODY can edit the system and make the vibrate notification longer so that we don't need that program.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
Well, I've been testing some new stuff on the kaiser users. It should run on vogue fine though. Try:

http://cs-alb-pc3.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/android-1.1-27-02-09.zip

This is a package of the 1.1 adp files and a new kernel that scales the display to QVGA. This means that all the google apps work, GMail, Calendar, IM and Market. Also all the Market apps will install and run (except those the need an accelerometer).

The display is a bit blurry but it's not too bad especially if you don't use the full HVGA res. 312x416 works well for me, change mddi.width and mddi.height in default.txt to change the resolution (240x480 is HVGA).

It is slightly slower (the opengl demo runs at 35ms/frame rather than 30ms/frame) and this is not cupcake so you lose the nice soft kbd. However, this is as close to a G1 as you can get and when the HTC Magic is released we should be able to get the soft kbd back.

I also added pacman to the image.

Backup your data.img if you want to go back and it may need a clean install since this is an earlier version than cupcake.

There may still be some problems with this, it's still a bit experimental and may need a reboot to get the google login service to work. When it first starts you need to skip the google login then start data and try again.

First of all, Martin, may I say with great conviction: BOSS JOB!!!! I've been here and loved the progress made by you and others on this project. Keep it up!! I've never had a problem with any of your builds...except the 1.1. I run haret and I get a white, flickering screen. The OS apparently runs b/c the power button works and I can even get it to restart using the directional pad. Any ideas what i've done wrong?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fletch259:
I have a Sprint Touch and I too am getting the flickering white screen. All previous builds worked. Do I need to edit the resolution in default.txt?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] johnficca:
Hi guys I edited the default.txt and took out "board-htcvogue.panel_type=1" from it, then I don't get the white screen of death. I do have another problem though, when running android and the phone goes to sleep when I wake it up the screen is no longer centered. sleepingu it and waking it dose not fix it either. See if you guys have the same problem.

P.S thanks Martin for all your work its running good now except for the sleeping screen problem.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
Thanks 4 the tip..I didn't go so far as to delete the entire string but I did change the panel type to 3 (randomly) in doing so I got rid of the white screen and haven't yet noticed any mis$calibration on wake up
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tetrismonkey:
thanks

thanks for the great work DZO

i am really happy to have all my google contacts and email on the phone

and the scaling is really nice

also thanks for the tips on getting pass the "white screen of death" i also changed the panel type to 3 and it works great

hey just one thing the camera acts really weird, 1st when i open it the display shows lines through the image and i can only see about 1/2 of the image

however when i take the picture it comes out really clear

but it kind of sucks to not really know what you shutting until after you take the picture

not that big of a deal i use the camera in wm most of the time but just though i would let you guys know

anyone else have this same problem?

once again thank you for all the hard work

I still can't get Android to work on my Touch on Sprint. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but it was working fine about a month ago. I haven't had any luck since then. I cleared off my phone and started from scratch with WinMo and the new 1.1 version. I still get, "Failed to load file \Android\zImage," when I click Run in haret.exe. I have no idea what else to try...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Drumcoded:
Try deleting all the files except data.img and re-download the archive, make sure all the files are on the SD card. Sounds like a possibly corrupted file.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] NeonElixir:
It's the new 1.1 version, I just downloaded it today. I deleted all of the Android files and started from scratch. Nothing. I do have older versions in folders on the drive, but it doesn't seem like that should interfere. Would it help to format the card?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] conanford:
Very nice! This works quite well for me on a vogue without even changing the scaling. Apps market works well, gmail works, etc. Everything worked very well after rebooting.

The camera doesn't seem to work with this version on the vogue (the previous regular vogue build does work with the camera). My location in Google Maps doesn't crash, but instead it says I'm in Cupertino. I assume that the gps chip in the Vogue isn't supported by Android, is that about right?

In any case, even with the keyboard issues and the gps not working, this is way better to use than WM6.1. Thanks for putting so much time into it!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tallnerd1985:
Nevermind, The Market place started working after I rebooted the system. Great work DZO, I literally, while at work, had to charge my phone twice due to downloading and playing with the 1000s of apps that are available for my phone. Particularly the Chomp SMS and Steel Browser make up far for not having the Cupcake Keyboard anymore. One interesting note that I found on engadget today was that VMWare is coming out with a new program called MVP that allows virtualization of the Android platform with full hardware access and acceleration running from Windows mobile. I like the idea that I will be able to run Android on the Touch Pro but at the same time, it hurts developers like DZO that put all this hard work into making a port. Hopefully there maybe a way to pull something out of MVP that may make it easier to run Android nativatly on new handsets.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] robobeau:
Can anyone post a stand alone Spare Parts app...? I'd like to be able to just mess around with the font settings and whatnot, instead of changing the screen res on default.txt.

I find that if I change the default size it bugs out after a while.

Update: I'm on a Vogue, and I set my resolution to 320x427. It looks GREAT. Looks just a little fuzzier than when ClearType is on. The phone barely lags, and is running (most of the time) at a smooth 30fps. There are a few apps that don't scale too well (I'm using Pacman as a benchmark), but they don't hinder the funcionality.

Awesome work, guys. :) I am ecstatic about finally getting Android running smoothly on my Vogue.

Update UPDATE: I dunno if this has been mentioned before, but pressing the camera button while the screen has timed out, will mess up the screen positioning, 'cause of the keyboard.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] Ideal2545:
is anyone having problems with power collapse, my phone is now just blinking green instead of red, i ran a test by leaving it unplugged for 9 hours with no use while i slept, the battery almost died, even with the screen off :(
[Touch CDMA Android Development] robobeau:
Using that resolution looks nice, but the screen goes off-center when it times out. After testing a bunch of resolutions, I found 300x400 stops the screen from mis-aligning Horizontally, but not Vertically. So at least, in a 2-3 pressing of the End button it fixes it self.

I'm gonna keep testing a bunch of resolutions to try to find that "sweet spot".

UPDATE: 320x480 doesn't mess up alignment when the screen times out. The Android logo even lines up correctly on startup, hehehehe. However, the screen is slightly squished (just look at the clock). It isn't a big deal, expect for anal retentive bastards, like me. Note: This is for the Vogue.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Ideal2545:
Has anyone been able to get funambol working with this version, mine says something about missing lightsync and fails, although i guess since it syncs with google....
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Ideal2545:
Hey Rob,

not sure why your alignment keeps on messing up, if you deleted the whole paneltype=0 line, you need to restore the original default.txt and just chance the panel type to 3 instead of 0. Ive played with multipe allignments and havent had any issue with that.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] robobeau:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] conanford:
Is there a simple way to calibrate the screen on the 1.1 build? I tried holding the camera button and tapping the top right and bottom left, but it didn't work. I'm trying to align the screen so it works with the built-in keyboard in ChompSMS (and maybe the Steel browser).
