l1q1d, does your latest kernel include the yaffs fix that scooter posted on kaiser forums?

Does USB mass storage work with the latest kernel? SD Split was working with 10-1-10 .32 but with the latest kernel I only see the drive in windows XP for a split second when I unplug the usb cable, nothing when I plug it in., Also moving apps to sd card does all sorts of wonky mount/dismount sd card routines. i.e. it cycles through "sd card removed" "preparing sd card" constantly until i reboot.

I've been using the 2010-10-29 version of the 2.6.32 kernel with Fresh Froyo, and I've had a few dead kernels. I have not had a chance to try the 2010-11-12 kernel yet, I will try it tonight and see. Thanks.

elf port?

Hi guys,

I have a HTC Elf. I do know there are differences between an elf and vogue, but isn't there any way to run the vogue version of android on the elf? Using the haret method, with a modded default.txt file. Ok, they are differences, but the 2 phones have a lot in common too, no?

thanks in advance
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
The important parts are different. Vogue has a qualcomm msm chipset. Elf has omap. It will not work.

Please! This is the kernel thread, the problem is that you are noob and so there will be some post totally unrelated with the kernel so:

i answer to you but

if you have more questions open a new thread

:

start terminal (look in google if you can't find it)

connect your device

write this commands:

cd directory_where_is_located_adb
adb shell

now you are inside the phone

copy and paste command from the kernel thread.

Finished.

Remember if you have more question about this open new thread!

Kernel thread should be clean!

lost adb (usb) ater flashing 11-12-10 kernel

Is there a way to flash a kernel without ruu, htcflasher utility. I have used HTCFlasher for a long time (linux user, ubuntu) and have never had a problem with it. I always kept my vougue flashed with the latest kernel (VOGUIMG-320-FROYO-??-??-??.NBH) and dzo's Fresh Froyo until his last release. And then, as usually, I have flashed VOGUIMG-320-FROYO-11-12-10.NBH. My adb and usb storage have disapeared. Tried to reflash earlier kernel, unfortunately HTCFlasher could no longer see my device (tried also RUU from gamer's windows machine - no luck). I imagine that there is a more advance way of installing a kernel (manual ?), or some fixing existing kernel by editing some setup files or copying some files (modules) into right places....I am, of course, still able to update my system (rom) but I am stuck with that last kernel and cannot flash a new one. Otherwise my phone works fine.... except for adb... and that is a bad news for me....Any help?

To preempt some questions: USB debugging is set on on my device, android sdk is properly installed on my Ubuntu machine, usb word is displayed in bootloader mode when usb plugged in.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
Something in your pc's usb config, perhaps? What does lsusb show?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] anjeti:
lost adb (usb) ater flashing 11-12-10 kernel

that was very first thing I checked, lsusb shows various usb devices depending wether they are plugged in or out (as it used to be with my vogue device - HTC ”0bb4“) except for my phone, after flashing named kernel lsusb would not react to the device being plugged in or out. I tried lsusb on another machine (ubuntu) that lsusb previously would show my device. It doeas not now. That machine is never being updated with the Update Manager so to keep constant testing environment. The problem is with the device and I mean kernel not the hardware: bootloader shows usb when I plug it in or serial when I plug it out, so hardware is ok. It is something with the device's software and since I have changed only kernel that means something within that kernel installation (flush). I know that L1q1d does not have vougue, perhaps he altered something there unknowingly.... I just wander if there is another way of flushing (or fixing) kernels.....
[Touch CDMA Android Development] l1q1d:
what is the latest working kernel fo you?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
No kernel would change the way it behaves in bootloader unless something went terribly, terribly wrong. It's got to be something else. Tried another cable?

Edit: find a non-sdhc sd card and flash an nbh from there. Instructions can be found around the vogue forum. But I still say it's not the kernel.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] anjeti:
10-24-10 was the last kernel I flashed before 10-11-12 (new nand driver) and it worked just fine. As a matter of fact it was the best kernel for me (no frozen device after switching from 3G to H and the other way). As to if I tried another usb cable? yes, of course. The only change inside the device and the pc(s) between working and not working adb was flashing 10-11-10 kernel. To be fair, there was one more change: before I flashed the 10--11-12 kernel from 10-24-10 i reinstalled the roguetools v.1 and overclocked to 500 MHz. I return though clock to original setting and removed the roguetools altogether after I've noticed problems with adb. I have also since installed the latest fresh froyo (system-froyo-unodex-16-10-10_16.tgz). One more thing, the charger through usb works fine.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] anjeti:
Perhaps you are right. I am actually not claiming that there is something wrong with the kernel, how would I know not being an expert in kernel development and testing. I am just saying that the problem with usb/adb happened after that kernel flashing and no other changes. Maybe the flashing process went a bit wrong without throwing any exception, it can happen. Maybe something else, hardware or software related went rouge and clobbered some modules/drivers... The only way I can find out what gave is the ability to "stick" another kernel into my device some way. The issue of sdhc/non-sdhc sd card is not known to me. Sounds promising, will research and see if it works for me...

As I said I am not an expert but there must be a way to "manually" manipulate at least some low level settings, drivers, modules (.so) etc...That was the main reason that I had abandoned ms windows many years ago and stopped suffering windows "magic" in setups and installations. I wanted to do it all manually or as close to it as possible.... Hope it is possible in this case....

Enter bootloader without functioning camera button?

Guys,

i apologize if this is the wrong forum but since I have an Android Vogue thought I would give it a shot...Does anyone know how to get to the bootloader screen without a functioning camera button? or is there an equivalent apk that essentially is "enterbootloader.exe"???

and yeah I searched and read the others similar posts but did not know if something like an enterbootloader.apk has been created since July on this year when someone mentioned the "coughDzocough"

[Touch CDMA Android Development] n2rjt:
Please try to diagnose this by changing one thing at a time, moving toward your last known good configuration. If you can isolate it down to one thing (fresh froyo, kernel, etc) that introduced the problem, then please let us know. I have used that kernel and that froyo build without the same problem, but I do not have vogue. It sounds like a RIL problem, but honestly the RIL has not changed for several months. If you try using latest kernel with earlier froyo builds, you'll need to apply the kernel modules update from the kernel thread.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Barogi44:
I had applied the Gingerbread theme to the fresh froyo, so i figured id reinstall the system and not apply the theme.. That solved the issue. :D

Link to the latest kernel?

There was some talk about going through the Kaiser forums and using Atools, but looking at the link in l1q1d's sig, there is already a VOGUIMG-320-FROYO-11-29-10.NBH

Does this need to be changed for the Vogue using Atools? The name seems right?

Is this the most stable with apps2sd and mass storage working (i need both)? Currently using fat free 5, but thinking of moving to scooter's 5.5, looking for stability. I've had regular freeze / lockup issues.

Thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Josue_181:
I recommend that you use kernel 0.25 (VOGUIMG-320-FROYO-11-29-10.NBH) works best the USB sync and the apps2sd it does not work in any ROM does not know if it works on the scooter.

So I recommend you use 0.25 kernel and does not need modify it with the aTool unless you want to change some things but as well as download it works well

Best regards.

latest kernel - type 1 panel not working

Hi,

I have 2 kaisers one has panel type 1 and one has panel type 2.

No problems with the type 2 panel and the latest kernel.

But regarding the type 1 panel...

using atools I try dmzo´s latest kernel and set it to type 1 kaiser and the screen looks ok. using the latest kernel here again using atools to set it to kaiser and type 1 the screen does not look ok (looks the same as when setting the wrong panel type)

again using atools kernel 2.6.25 works fine (but it is not so good with battery usage so I would really like to have the latest 2.6.32 kernel working with type 1 panel)

I also tried autodetect in atools but same story: screen looking wrong
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Josue_181:
The kernel 2.6.25 has lower battery performance with respect to kernel 2.6.32? If so I change now the kernel because it is one of the biggest complaints I have about Android on this computer (vogue) that the battery does not last at all.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Josue_181:
There is a difference whether or not in the use of the battery in Android if you use kernel 2.6.25 or 2.6.32, as

casacristo

mention that I liked not battery with kernel 2.6.25 me stay with the doubt whether there is better performance of the battery using the kernel 2.6.32.

I would like to that they respond me, currently I use kernel 2.6.25

Opinion: Most efficient current kernel & build?

For the senior members. What kernel (x.25 vs x.32 etc) and build is the most reliable right now? I've tried most of them and love all the builds, but have a hard time keeping up with all the improvements!

I'm looking for the kernel that gives the best "simple phone" experience. In other words, good battery life, minimal crashes, working GPS and data, and fast response (for calls and SMS at least).

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] WnG88:
I would say there are two options regarding the kernel:

1. if you want USB drive connectivity - use 10-10-4? .25 kernel (can't remember offhand the exact date). This seems to be a great kernel in terms of battery life and stability. No crashes in over a month using Inc v12. Only problem is that you don't have App2SD using .25 kernel, the system unmounts the SD card if you try to put an app on the SD.

2. If you want App2SD you need to give up USB connectivity and use the latest .32 kernel. Still fairly stable with most versions of Froyo, but I have had a couple of lock-ups. Battery life is comparable I think.

I've left the .25 kernel on my wife's phone and she hasn't complained about the phone anymore. .32 is on my phone just because I keep running out of room on the phone. That said, I have had mixed results with App2SD as well since sometimes the applications just don't work.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Evan.Anderson:
So apps2sd is officially working then?

I only ask because it doesn't work for some apps. I installed robo defense and it works great from sd, but angry birds does not. Are there any posts that reference best practices/tricks of the trade with apps2sd. I've found regardless if I unmount the sd card while running, I'll lose my apps on sd. They still show under manage applications, but can't access them in launcher. I've been using astro to put 'em back for now, but sometimes I install an app and the sdcard never remounts, then I reboot to find all apps on sd card gone.

Since .32 does not go into USB mode I cant use RUU to change it.

What step do I follow to change it?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] egzthunder1:
You need to place your phone in boot loader mode (stylus in reset hole plus cam plus power buttons at the same time). Then you should be able to use ruu.

However if memory serves me well, you should be able to simply place the new zimage in your sd card and update it through the recovery.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] Psionfenix:
You would be able to run through haret entirely, probably. But not for long. With wince running in the background, you're going to eat up all your ram pretty quickly. I'd figure the next step (after it's fully working) is to turn it into a rom to flash it on the bootloader so it runs natively.

the beauty of open source is everyone can work on it/modify it. sure, when android hits there won't be as many apps for it as WinMo, but i bet it will make better use of the RAM. In time, there will be many many apps for it, right now, we're just basically going for sneak peeks, as it were. My only issue with android is the java...i'm not a huge fan, but we'll see i guess.

But with even desktop OSes, you are entitles to use what you like. You don't like android, use WinMo, you dont like winmo, use android. Personally, i'll be on the android drive train (though i'll probably modify it heavily)
