What exactly was the problem with google maps? What kind of error were you getting?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
When you load it up, no map actually displays, and instead of the "Google" you normally get at the bottom, you get a little padlock icon.

osmdroid

here you go. just compiled the latest r50 (9 hours old). mostly seems to be working -- needs an active internet connection. some functions off the main menu force the apk to close, but the basic map navigation stuff seems to work fine.

ShapeWriter application running?

Anyone have any luck with the ShapeWriter APK?

http://www.shapewriter.com/andbeta/index.html

I am able to install it by placing the APK file in the AndroidApps folder. The application displays the home screen, but the screen just freezes after that.

Any ideas are appreciated!

Doesn't anyone find it extremely useful to have a dual booting handheld device? No single developer is going to get everything perfect. This is the only way to have an all inclusive program library.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Thomas1218:
Im not hating on WinMo. I have just been using it for a while and want a change of scene. I guess i should have chose my words better. What I am really waiting for in Android is bluetooth capabilities and having the ability to toggle the data connection on and off completely independent of WinMo. I also realized since it is linux it will never be final, people will always be changing and tweaking things to make them better or more user friendly. And Btw thanks for putting your time and effort into this.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
It's not designed for qvga, it does the same on the emulator. It doesn't seem that useful either since it looks like you can't use it for input to other apps.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] etiger13:
ok now that i got the forums to a point where they are somewhat useful (biggest thing i wanted to add was a subscription feature, and now its there) people are starting to use them. if other people want to go try it out, test it, post in it, and leave me feedback, it wil help me get them to a much more usable state faster. that way there won't be one extremely long thread here and it makes thing much more organized. Link is http://www.myhtcphone.com/forum

i'm getting this:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function phptemplate_get_ie_styles() in /var/www/html/myhtcphone/sites/all/themes/myhtc/maintenance-page.tpl.php on line 23

when i vist the link . . .
[Touch CDMA Android Development] grktaurus83:
Yea, I felt that being able to toggle the data connection was important too. And now it works really well. Yea, bluetooth is still forthcoming, but it isn't a huge concern to me as it eats a lot of battery and I have no bluetooth equipment.

Despite the huge size of this thread, I like being able to go to one place and see all of the progress going on (whether or not I'm interested in every single facet of it). It's just a bit more work to go through several threads.

That said, I'd still like to use that forum and to be able to add side threads that are easily accessible to people (like a serious FAQ page so we can reduce the number of repeated questions). Thanks you (and those helping you) for your hard work!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] ingenue007:
just a thought....

but now with togga and the script...would it be hard to make it where if android wants to dial a connection (on demand), that it invokes togga to connect. and then once the internet connection is on, to have togga disconnect internet after 30 mins (or whatever of no internet activity)? repeat once android wants internet again?

[Touch CDMA Android Development] banisfresh:
finally

got it working, it's working on my 8gb microsd card at fat32, havent had any problems with that, but this thing does drain the hell out of my battery but im pretty sure there should be an fix for that pretty soon
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
Can you send a dmesg from the phone please, after it has crashed start haret and run a file containing:

pwf dmesg 0xe0000 0x20000

then send me (or post) the dmesg (as long as it has something in it).

What radio do you have, the camera won't work with the old radio.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
If you have a new radio and keep the network connection off, the battery should last for days.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] joeyjones:
heh

Even better if you leave the radio disabled, nothing running, and the screen off. :p
[Touch CDMA Android Development] etiger13:
i did some maintenance for like 2 minutes and you were fast enough to catch it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] rjreptile:
Alright

Everything works except one thing. Whenever i hat the red button and it is supposed to go to the welcome/lock screen. The entire phone locks up and no buttons do anything.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] grktaurus83:
When you hit the red button (end key, right?) it's supposed to immediately turn off the screen. It shouldn't show the home screen or anything else. Usually, the only way to get the phone to wake up is to hit the end key again (sometimes the power or menu buttons work too) and that will show you the lock screen where you need to hit the menu button to unlock the phone.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] rjreptile:
i meant

i meant that when i hit it again it sometimes shws me the lock/ home screen, but do you know what to do about it not working sometimes.

i don't know about you but i don't have the time to read 233 pages of text , when it will probably be useless anyway

He was saying to read his post here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=23244

it's only 1 page, so I think you can handle it ;)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] grktaurus83:
1) OP stands for opening post (so the first post in a thread) or opening page (so the first page of a thread). So that's not like reading 233 pages at all.

2) Just because you think it'll be useless doesn't mean it will. Do you think that (in 233 pages) no one has ever come across this problem before? And somehow we all know the answer for you even though this problem has not been talked about at all? Haha.

You should at least

[Touch CDMA Android Development] bugmen0t:
IMO the interface and quality of maps suck compared to google's. It shouldn't be too hard to get google's working -- the only problem is the JDWP interface exposed by dalvik doesn't show registers (it looks like theres some code to half-do it that is commented out), but it shouldn't be too hard to get that working. I have no time now, but if I get more time in two weeks when the semester ends I'll spend some more time on it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fraggy4:
Sorry, but I fixed it without your thread. Downloaded the toggle initrd. Also, you should update the OP to say that Android works with the Verizon ROM update.

Now all we need is a GPS driver, and everything will be complete. Also, I'll let you (dzo) know about a few major graphics problems later when I have more time. I'll say for now that they're usage-hindering.

Is is possible to connect to the pc through ddms to take screenshots?

[Touch CDMA Android Development] dangerousrun:
hi i would like just a little bit of help on something.

i saw a couple page before that the dialer as been arranged to fit our screen perfeclty , so i sent a private message to bugmen0t and he sent me is phone.apk .

So i put the phone.apk in the androidapp folder on my SD CARD

and i Run the haret and when i get in it stay the same size all crop.

if someone could give me a hand on that thats what it bothering me the most for now.

Second my cam make my device do a soft reset and i run the last radio from bell

i have the NFSFAN last build.

and last thanks to all that as been working for this port , i know its not easy coz ive been trying to learn in linux on my pc and its not my OS :(

I really understand that it will never be final , that we will never see a ROM fully linux and at the state we are now the fact that it is running ON the WM and running this smooth it is really nice.

thanks

Post #1898 - 9. Page 190. Or you could have searched for "phone.apk"
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dangerousrun:
i did search for it if you can read i have the phone.apk but the thing is that i cant install it and i dont understand what is the map thing.

are you guys still using it with the crop dialer or you find a way around
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tetrismonkey:
well i am not sure what you want me to send you because you just spoke Greek to me (i am new to ppc phones)

but yes i am using the old radio and a verizon phone i want to up grade to the new radio but i am not sure how to

do i have to flash my phone

do i just download the new radio

or do i have to download the 6.1 update

if i have to flash my phone i fill like i will be in over my head i am really new to all this

thank you for the help at least now i have an answer
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Nickman1:
I see that you have the apk. :) Correct me if I'm wrong but, my understanding is that dzo would have to rebuild from the ground up with the open source sdk to put the dialer in. If he does this then the maps application doesn't work. So you have to choose between a fine tuned dialer and maps.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] bored2nite:
Same here!!!

Also... has there been an update to why we get "bad SMS encoding" from random carriers / contacts?? Last i checked (and i've personally read 234 pages now lol) is no answer.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
Did you drop the apk in the folder named exactly AndroidApps in the root of your SD card?

a folder named androidapp won't work...

I'm asking because I want to try it but a working full screen dialer is high on my list before I dive in :D
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tErbo b00st:
ok so I have used android on and off for the past couple days and found a slightly annoying problem with togga. If I attempt to make the connection it does it's thing and says it's connected. Than I try to use the data connection and there isn't one. So I disconnect, and try to connect (using togga of course) and than it works. Everytime, I need to conenct, disconnect, and than reconnect and it works. Interesting

Looks like most of the QVGA problems should go away soon:

This phone is QVGA. Hopefully google will commit the relevant changes to git soon (I fixed the dialer, but there's still tons of other small annoying things that would be a pain to fix one-by-one).
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
I think figured out why some people were complaining about battery life. I wasn't powering down the camera properly. I've put a new build on the web site that should fix this. Only zImage has changed.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fraggy4:
Just wondering, did you update the zImage under Older Stuff with this new one, or is that an older version?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
I have now.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fraggy4:
Alright, thanks. Also, what do you think about an eventual GPS driver?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dcordes:
on the kaiser GPS is NMEA data via one serial fifo (just like smd0 for the AT). you just turn GPS on in wince and read the data from te serial device.

No clue how it's turned on. Might be a proc comm? In the wince at debug logs I can only see AGPS activity when switching GPS on/off.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] grktaurus83:
This was a known issue that I've specifically mentioned several times (on the initrd.toggle download page as well). Martin has corrected this issue (the DNS was not being set properly every time) and the latest builds work as expected.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
On vogue, it looks like there is an intermediate driver that talks to the gps hardware using rpc. This means gps will be very hard to get working.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dcordes:
there's no NMEA data in the smem dump when GPS is active while dumping?

btw could you look at the kaiser thread? I attempted to use pio.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tErbo b00st:
I'm using the latest build. And iirc you said previously that SOMETIMES this is the case. EVERYTIME I need to do this
[Touch CDMA Android Development] grktaurus83:
Any word on the key programming dzo?

I was wondering whether the hard keys could be programmed to respond to single-push, double-push, and push-hold with different actions?

The way you implemented the screen rotate is what got me thinking about this. But I'm not sure if your double-push is a specific action sequence or just a timer that doesn't allow the rotate command to be run twice in rapid succession.

If this is possible, how would one go about making these implementations? This might be something I'd like to tinker with (at some point) until I find my ideal layout.

fbreaderj mod

for ebook fans, just a quick mod to fbreaderj so it runs in full screen (which is important for qvga). This is based on 0.2.1, since I really don't like the latest scrolling changes in 0.2.2.

You can replace everything except data.img (don't put data.gz on the card or data.img will be replaced). I't probably a good idea to back up data.img every now and then, mine's been corrupted a few times.

Setup and Android Issues

I have been playing around with the latest version and I have a few issues.

Issue #1

Togga will connect and gives a IP address. However when I go to the browser it comes up that I am not connected. What could be the issue?

Edit: Used Google Maps and then was able to use the browser

Issue #2

In the default.txt file for the Power Collapse where should the following coding be placed?

# This is what I use: "msm_sdcc.msmsdcc_fmax=32000000 pm.sleep_mode=0 board-htcvogue.panel_type=1"

Issue #3

The camera shows the picture on the screen however when I go to take a picture it says "No SD Card". Any Thoughts?

I apoligizes if this is in the Thread somewhere I have tried reading it all.

unlocked G1's are here

http://www.electronista.com/articles/08/12/06/google.android.dev.phone/

So Google has released a "developer's phone," which is a G1, but it's unlocked. From what I've read, it has an unlocked bootloader, allowing for any android image to be placed on the device, unsigned.

The phone itself won't do any of us any good, being CDMA clients, but maybe this could be the key to getting things like Maps working properly on the source build? Thoughts?

While I await Martin's assistance for Android on the Kaiser...I'd love to see Android screenshots on the Vogue.

Can one of you lucky Vogue enthusiasts see if this Android package will indeed generate screenshots on the Vogue?

Thanks in advance...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] etx:
Hey, I just tested it on my vogue using dzo's latest port and it gives me an error "screenshot.raw file not found". On the site you linked it mentions you need root to use the app, on a G1 you can get root on version 29 of the OS but later versions its patched. On the vogue I can get a root shell but I don't know the password so i have to do a passwd to change it before I telnet in to do any root ops.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] wanderso:

now click edit and enter your pin number (google this or something, im not sure if its universal and forget mine)

your username will be the one with @sprintpcs.com in it, and the password should be like the bottom option...i'm not 100% sure anymore, its the one with letters and numbers, it looks like a password. i went through this with sprint customer service, and its the real username/password, android will still tell you there is no connection and it can't load pages, but its a lie...pages load up just fine.

Shadow\Juno?

Reading almost the entire thread, I wasn't expecting much in terms of it working on my Juno\TMobile Shadow but I thought I would give it a try. I downloaded the files and placed on my phone and ran haret.exe. I got the following:

HaRET Boot

Shutting down hardware

Turning of MMU

In preloader

PSR=600000df

Tags Relocated

Kernel Relocated

After it does what seems to be a reboot, the screen lights up but is dark. If I let it sit for about 10-15 secs the screen turns off but I can then press the upper left option button to light up the keypad and the screen comes back on but still black.

If everyone thinks at this point it is a lost cause on the Juno, I will switch to my old Wizard, I just thought I would give it a shot.
