Did they replace the phone itself or did they just replace the screen? I had gotten a replacement phone somewhere around that time and the Android files that had worked on the phone that broke would not work on the new phone. It took a lot of messing around with mixing and matching files to get it running. I'm on sprint too by the way and trying to to get this to work as well.

I replaced all my files with the ones off the google page. It now talks about building data and the cursor blinks for a moment, and then freezes.

Edit: the Android 1.1 04-05-09 zimage worked fine with the rest of the files for me too. Created data. Will see if I can boot with the new zimage now.

Edit: that failed big time. Going to give it another shot and let you know where it stops.

Edit: zimage-adb failed at the creating new data store as well

Edit: zimage-test failed, last line was ---[ end trace ca143113eefdc828 ]---

Edit: 11-05-09

Two different freezups with this zimage

running an fsck on the sd card

dosfsck 3.0.1, 23 Nov 2008, FAT32, LFN

Free cluster summary wrong (758294 vs really 758371) Auto-correcting.

Performing changes.

/dev/block/nncblk0p1: 129 files, 224404/902855 clusters

_

mddi0_panel_power(1)

cONSOLE: SWITCHING TO COLOUR FRAME BUFFER DEVICE 53X38

_

So apparently it splits at the 04-05-09 zimage for some reason.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] hexto:
Thanks. This was the only way I was able to get this release to work. So far I can't get the browser to work. I get an error "ReferenceError: Can't find variable: _gp_iniSearch"
[Touch CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
I got the same error, but I pointed my browser to www.yahoo.com and it brought up yahoo just fine.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] lazyvegaskid:
I tried the above but now I cant get past the boot screen, its telling me I need the data.gz or some super settings... idk really but I just want to be able to login to use my google apps but the dev tools crash everytime. Any ideas? im using the most recent stable 1.5 download from DZO's site not google code
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
Hey there Vegas, why don't you try the stuff from google code? DZO's package is a bit more out of date than what is up on google code (Martin is primarily using my stuff). In fact I've brought over all the tweaks he added to the builds on google code.

What part of town are you? I'm in Southwest near Rhodes Ranch:)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] lazyvegaskid:
ill go ahead and delete everything now and retry. I live on the eastside, Tropicana and Boulder Hwy by skymania/skatecity

what a small world we live in, so if i use your files I can login to google on the startup? gonna test it and post an update

(update)

Tried files from google code, now on haret boot the screen fades to white but in a way ive never seen before. Gonna try messing with the default.txt Would tryin an old default file mess it up? I downloaded all the new files and excluded data.gz as it says in the installtion directions

(Update2)

Checked old settings with new default file and corrected panel type to 0 it says 2 or 3 for sprint so thats why the screen was fading in a odd way iver never seen before. Got everything synced and logged in with no problem. Thanks Alot might have to buy you a few brews for all your hard work on porting this. Thanks for the help
[Touch CDMA Android Development] punk.kaos:
Well, just grabbed the latest initrd(again!) and this time I *DO* have the blinking satellite dish icon. Its not yet showed me a position, but I'm indoors so that could be it.... Its progress anyway!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
Aven_soulgazer and hexto: I've posted a zImage bootlock test kernel onto google code, it is up to date, except that all of the changes to the clock speeds (SD and internal) have been omitted since 2009-05-04.

It booted on my phone, so I know that it won't make anything melt, but I have no idea if it will fix your problem. Will one or both of you test it out?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
Punk & Vegas, glad you both have things working! It is always nice to hear when the things we do are appreciated :D
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tetrismonkey:
no gps

hey guys i cant get the gps to locate me not sure what i am doing wrong

i went into settings/security & location and enabled gps satellites

also enabled use wireless networks

i have the lates files from google code and i put the system and data.img in the root of my sdcard, i am still using an old data.img from 1.1 should i make a new one? i have not until now because i don't want to download all the apps all over againg. also i have my default.txt zimage and initrd in a different file then my system and data, but that has never made any problems, could it have something to do with gps?

or maybe its becauses i have never been able to get gps in windows eather even with unlocks

i am on verzion by the way

ps everthing else works gate for me thank you all very much for all the hard work, i have a few friends with G1s and im always teaching them things they dont know about their phones and showing mine off

@vilord & Vegas: funny that you guys live in Vegas i live in So Cal and i have friends in vegas im up that way about once a month
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
I think GPS has to work in windows to get it to work in android, because we are using *exactly* the same system calls that windows uses.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] hexto:
I changed my home page to google.com/m and it works perfect. Just a bad link set up by default.

This is the best Android experience yet. Fast, stable, google apps work perfect, and GPS!!!. All I need now is MMS so I can dump WM for good.

Just wish the battery life wasn't so bad. My phone's been unplugged for 5hrs and my battery is at 33%. Only checked my email and made a 6min phone call.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] ansantari:
These instructions worked perfectly. Thanks DallasW. Don't hesitate to try this Vilord.

I was having the exact same issue and now Cupcake works flawlessly on my Telus Vogue. I haven't tested the GPS yet.

The modem actually automatically connected upon start up. I will post again if it reconnects after going into and exiting the subway. This might not be good if the battery drains fast.

For some reason I thought that deleting the data.gz file would make it not work but it recreated one on its own. Only took 2 minutes or less on initial start up. Don't touch anything while it's going.

Was annoyed that it didn't work because so used to downloading the 1.1 massey files and them working right off the bat. I hope more people find these instructions and use them to get 1.5 working if they have the Google services shut down issue.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
hexto, try using zImage-bootlock-test from the google code page, just replace your existing zImage with it... should have *much* better battery performance, and hopefully won't crash at bootup.

You'll even get ADB, working vibrate, and GPS!

---

ansantari, those were instructions I was sending to DallasW, so yes I know they work :D
[Touch CDMA Android Development] trensol:
They replaced only the screen, I did check serial number, rom and radio versions all the same. I have the same freeze up issues. I was really hoping to check out the new build with GPS, but I guess it will have to wait. If anyone can give us some insight to this problem that would be great. If the new builds won't support the sprint touch, please let us know, I promise not to bother again on this forum.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
If your sprint touch is crashing during extracting data images etc, please try downloading this: http://vogue-android.googlecode.com/files/zImage-bootlock-test

Rename it as zImage, then replace the one on your phone. Then please let me know if it works for you or not.

--------------

Martin, regarding memory usage, is there a good way to identify where it is all going? I'm still thinking there must be a leak or something...

Here's a screenshot from the DDMS:

Thanks!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] trensol:
I just tested using the zImage-bootlock-test file, and HaRET again freezes from the start. I tested both with and without data files, and the same occurs. Returning to the older zImage 4-5-2009, and HaRET boots up fine. I wish I could give you a debug, but it always returns an empty dmesg file after soft and hard resets. I am willing to test any other files when possible.

Vilord, Thanks for the attention!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] punk.kaos:
Absolutely, your work is amazing! Infact, I'm posting from my vogue right now :)

I spoke too soon though, while I now get the satellite image, it never locks.

Ideas?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
What is changed in this test to improve battery performance vilrod? I would agree, I get 24h easy out of win mobile with light use, struggle to get 16h out of android with light use.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
The build from May 4th is very much out of date, there have been literally hundreds of changes since then.

The test build I posted, I picked over the changes all the way from may until now... but obviously it wasn't enough.

Did you say that the may 4th build loads, but the build from may 11th does not? If that is the case it should be easy to go through the changes from the 4th to the 11th to see what may have broken it
[Touch CDMA Android Development] trensol:
I triple checked the (zImage)builds, and they stop working after the May 4th build. From the 11th and on, they are not working with the sprint radio ver 3.42.30. I did try to upgrade the radio to 3.42.50, but installation failed. The htc program does not let you flash the sprint rom with the bell upgrade. Is there a way to upgrade radio version on its own?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] stoked:
Would the bootlock-test zimage help with battery life on a Bell Vogue as well?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
the bootlock-test zImage takes *out* a bunch of updates because they seem incompatible with specific sprint phones. Don't use it unless your phone crashes on bootup, and if it doesn't fix the problem, then remove it.

FYI to those still having bootlock issues, an updated bootlock-test has been posted, please make comments and follow here: http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/issues/detail?id=4
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
I think if you flash the bell rom directly from the bootloader using a noID RUU, it may work... BUT: DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN for the bell rom.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Rick#2:
Is there a way to keep it in landscape mode? The only way I can figure to switch to landscape mode is when I bring up the hacked in keyboard by pushing the Camera button but when I switch it off it switches back to portrait.

Once in a while, depending on what menu I'm in, it'll stay in landscape but other than that it goes to portrait. It looks so much better in landscape!

Awesome job btw, keep up the hard work!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Sublimeinlife:
double click the keyboard button fairly quickly and it will turn to landscape

Help with Togga

Ok, I am running 1.5 build from DZO, but when I try to launch Togga, it gets stuck on the wait part.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mburris:
togga is soooo 1.1
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Landon4576:
...

Well then, how do you expect me to get data?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] margosmark:
use modem it should be in the app menu
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Rick#2:
Thanks! I knew there must've been a way.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
I've replaced my 1.5 build with a link to the google code site for vilord's build since there is no point having more than one clean build. Perhaps we should use this thread for kernel development and the ion thread for android 1.5 development. I think it's time for a "Vogue android development" subforum, I'll suggest it.

edit: OK, I've added a poll here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=531183
[Touch CDMA Android Development] DallasW:
Thanks vilord for the help before, it seems to be working alright now, but now I have another problem!

The phone is set to USB debugging mode, and when I plug the phone into my laptop I get it recognizing a device called "Android Phone"

I am running Windows 7 build 7231 at the moment, and can't seem to be able to install the driver software. If I point windows in the directory of the drivers it just tells me it can't find any drivers, and if I manually browse to the x86 driver and select it, I have a list of options of possible drivers to use such as "ADB composite device" and "HTC dream composite device" as well as a couple others (I tried the two I listed and both didn't work in ADB)

If anyone knows of how to get this to work please let me know, thanks!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
Why haven't you gone to Win 7 RC? That's what I'm running.

The new zimage bootlock-test works for me. I didn't get to try the first one though as I was out camping.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] trensol:
from google code:

Works for me too! The first zImage-bootlock-test did not, but the second release works great, although I'm not sure how the phone will react without the new updates to the kernel. I'm wondering if these issues will be addressed so that the future builds will work for the sprint vogue just the same.

Thanks for all the help.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] DallasW:
Built 7231 is actually a newer build than RC I believe...

Anyway, I tried booting into XP and installing it, and windows STILL won't accept the driver files in the 1.5 SDK usb drivers folder as the drivers for the "Android Phone" device??

Edit: And I'm using the default.txt, initrd, zimage bootlock, and system-ion files from the 1.5 site, downloaded from an hour ago...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
No, the SDK driver won't work, you have to use the adb driver from here:

http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/adb.zip
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
Since it will crash on all kernels starting with 2009-05-11, the issue is likely in the newer CPLD code, which is used by almost everything. Unfortunately neither myself nor Martin has one of the phones with the problem, so it will be very difficult to figure out what is causing it. I can hack together a kernel for now but it is only temporary, and it would be best if someone with the phone who can do some kernel development can get involved.

At the very least it would be good to know just what is different about your phones from all the others... You might be on to something with the radio, maybe try again to get the Bell 3.42.50 radio to load?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
hey, i have a sprint vogue, i'm running the bell 3.42.50 radio. I did have problems running some of the newer kernels, but I am able to run all of the zimages that i've downloaded off the google ion xda page, both the bootlock and the other currently up. I haven't noticed a sig difference in battery between the two, in fact I haven't noted any difference on my phone.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] suanccd:
It works on my sprint vogue too! The previous zImage-bootlock-test didn't boot when doing dosfsck. The latest version worked very well.

BTW, I have bell 3.42.50 radio.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] DallasW:
That seemed to work! I could have sworn I had tried those drivers as well. Thanks!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
I'm afraid to update my radio in case my phone breaks again. This is the 7th one Sprint has traded out on me so far. I don't have the money to go through my insurance and get the diamond :( or the touch pro. I like the vogue because of yalls android port. But if I can't run it on my phone anyway then it doesn't do me any good. But it's $100 to get the phone upgrade through insurance and sprint won't give me another model.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] DallasW:
So, I now have an "HTC Dream ADB Composite Interface" device listed in my device manager (I told windows to find a driver in the unzipped adb directory from the file above) and now when I run "adb devices" I get ? as my device name

adb remount gives me a no such file or directory error, and trying to push anything to the phone gives me an error saying the device is read only...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
Yes, we use a read only system image so you can't write anything there (or remount it rw) but you can install apps to /data/app.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] DallasW:
Thanks for the help dzo, and sorry for the seemingly simple questions, I was just trying to install the HTC IME keyboard (I need something at least close to TouchPal's T9 qwerty, and then I'll be using Android full time I think!)

Anyone have any tips on how to get the HTC IME to work if you can't install it via ADB?

Thanks again for all your help guys!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
It's already installed, just enable touch input and disable android keyboard from the settings menu.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] okcoolthnx:
Hey everyone,

With all the posts lately about having problems, I thought I'de make a positive post about the progress of this Project.

I'm running DZO's 1.5 package from a few days ago with the working GPS and I must say it's VERY fast. How fast?

On Saturday I managed to get an iPhone 3g for cheap and upgraded it to the 3.0 software and unlocked it, so I could use it with my T-mobile SIM card from my sidekick ($1 a day for unlimited data/sms, can't beat that ATT users!). Anyways, I'm happy to announce that in most cases, my Android Vogue is faster! THAT'S how far this project has come. I'm not joking. Aside from the iPhone web browser, which sh¡ts all over the Android one, when it comes to texts, apps, and the general speed of the UI, I ACTUALLY find the Androided Vogue to be more responsive! Not to mention, even though the "App Store" has like 23848923749 Trillion apps, other than the games, almost all the essential iPhone apps are also available on the Android Market. Also, I LOVE the t9 keyboard on Android, something that the iPhone will never have. It's so much more efficient(sp?), and much easier to work with than a full keyboard in portrait.

There's finally a true iPhone contender, and it's now on our UNSUPPORTED CDMA phones. Truly amazing. Great job guys!

Keep up the good work!

Loving my Android 1.5 on my Alltel Touch. You guys are doing a wonderful job.

I know there is a lot to do still. Once things like bluetooth and mms are 100%, are there any plans to this system in a flashable OS? The ability to just straight boot into Android and eliminate WinMo would be awesome. Plus I would imagine that there might be a performance gain from running on the phone's system memory rather than the SD card.

Again I really appreciate the work you guys are doing. It has given my Vogue a whole new lease on life.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] punk.kaos:
So my GPS saga continues. I've now re-flashed the radio with a newer radio rom, and still cannot get GPS locks. I also tried some of the QPST GPS modifications recommended around the net, and still no GPS. Any ideas? :)

Bluetooth Support

Hey Guys, I want to dive in and see if I can get bluetooth running... I read awhile back DZO said they had UART running, which according to this digram (http://source.android.com/projects/bluetooth-faq) is the hardware portion, and I assume the DBUS-Daemon is already running. Looks like Android uses the familiar bluez daemon and whats cool is it has bindings straight into Java.

Any ideas, pointers, advice, etc would be helpful. This is my first rodeo with the android kernel.

Setup for Sprint Username and Password in United States

I finally got this to work on my Sprint HTC Touch Vogue. My problem was getting the username and password.

The username can be found by going to Settings and then to the Device Information. Your username is the last line. I understand that this will work without the correct password on Sprint, but I found mine by calling Technical Support. The first time I called they had no clue what I was talking about. The second time I was fortunate to talk to an advanced guy who knew exactly what it was. I guess you can ask specifically for an advanced tech support rep when you call.

Anyway, I hope this helps someone.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] hexto:
Thank you. I'm trying it now. I've been loving having GPS. Downloaded a bunch of GPS apps. I do have a question. Is it aGPS? I seem to be getting a signal faster than in WM and indoors.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
You are right on most counts... Here is where we're at as far as I understand it:

The hsuart driver exists, it is supposedly stable in 2.6.27 and above (search this thread for hsuart for more). The bluetooth portion itself uses the same chip as the G1, so the hardware module/driver should just be a drop-in.

Currently most of the bluetooth daemons are turned off in the initrd, because we can't use them yet.

But, we're hoping that a stable 2.6.27 on the phone will likely get us 90% of the way to bluetooth.... Right now 2.6.27 crashes on the phone after a little while.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] exabrial:
I was worried about the kernel module, but that is excellent news.

That being said, debugging kernel code is new to me. I'm a j2ee engineer by trade but i've done my share of of college work in operating systems and i'm quite familiar with linux as it was my main OS for a number of years.

Is anyone else working on 2.6.27 currently? I'll grab the sources and put a build on one of my SD cards.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
check out these two trees:

http://git.linuxtogo.org/?p=groups/...it;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/htc-msm7x00-2.6.27

http://git.linuxtogo.org/?p=groups/mobile-linux/kernel.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/htc-msm-2.6.27

The first was made for the vogue but currently crashes.

The second was made for the raphael, but there might be some good stuff in there...
