It is not same processor at all, artemis is OMAP850 and vogue is msm7xxx

Yes i know about this one, i m working with their work, but it seem there is small difference between tornado / typhoon and Artemis

English not a problem :)

BTW i 'm working on RDS FM radio part to try to get RDS/radio working on linux and maybe get TMC informations as it is part of RDS data trame :)

I just up^load a new image with some improvement and a Com manager quickly done ( around 30mn ) so just GPS / BT works with this tools.

After much research I did not understand how to launch Android on the HTC Artemis.

What to do with system.tar.gz and data.tar.gz files of page http://benno.id.au/blog/2007/11/14/android-filesystems ?

Thank you
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] BabelOued:
Once you get all the file, you have to create a linux partition on sd card and unpack all like it is described in howto.

After that, you have to patch kernel with android patchset and compile your own.

Sorry, but i don't want to lost time to do that until they release android in few month
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Batuss:
ok here is my dmesg

Com manager works ok

bt,gps working ok

after running( the new version) for the first time( schotdown the qtopia and take out my battery) my WM06 whoes crazy, i cold not run any app that i install on my sd card, had to make HR and install all my apps again
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] BabelOued:
Good evening,

Sorry for your sdcard, it never happen to me. Each time, i just shutdown Qtopia with long press on power button, then hit shutdown device... Once it is done, i long press reset button then power button. Device restart well and all works as expected.

Hi again,

To be able to reproduce your issue i just install ROM WM6.1 touch 4.02 on my artemis. I never start linux from this one but after 3 reset because the ROM freeze on accessing SIM card, i lost my sd card from the menu and can't access it any more. So don't think it is a linux problem.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Batuss:
I don't think it is a linux problem :) im using linux(ubuntu) on a pc so a know that the M$ have problems :)

Thats cool! Works very good and fast! I'm missing Buttons and GSM support. How can I help? I work with linux at home and use windows only to sync my Artemis. I have much experience with linux administration including distribution develpment and a lillte coding. No hardware/kernel coding experience at all :( But perhaps I can help debugging or something like this?

Thanks,

Hi there.

I have instaled it on my ARTE and it works O.K. did a lot of testing and everything that is suposed to work, does work properly, so it is a very nice step in the right direction. I am fully aware of the amount of work that went into making that work, so thanks to all who contributed, unfortunately i got rusty and i didnt do any code in a looooong while ( exept PHP/MySQL and a lot of troubleshooting) and life is catching up with me so i dont have any spare time any more, and that monumentaly sucks.

i tap on qtopia-artemis-exe on storage card but i get only a black screen and the telefhon looks ded

help please and thnks
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Chasalin:
Got a solution for this?

Hi,

I've been trying for about a day or 3 but I can't get it to work.

All I get is a console, but since the artemis has no hardware keyboard, I can't do anything but read what's on screen.

And that tells me: 'cannot find root fs tar file' or something like that.

I tried unpacking the bz2 but it doesn't work.

It also says something like 'no previous fstype selected'

I even tried partitioning the memorycard, with no luck. (ofcourse... the bootloader searches for a rootfs tar file, not for a partition)

At the moment I'm trying to unpack the whole rootfs tar to an ext3 partition on the card and hex-hacking the bootloader to set /dev/mmcblk0p2 as rootfs...

If anyone has any better idea, please let me know... I have this feeling that says my last attempt is also not gonna work...

oh yeah, I got a standard HTC-Artemis (sold as T-Mobile MDA Compact III) with a Kingston 1GB card. I have a windows XP machine as well as an Ubuntu 8.04 at my disposal, but no working SD cardreader on linux, except for the artemis with WM5Storage tool to impersonate a USB-disk...

[edit]hex-editing screwed up the executable... It did execute, but an errormessage 'Missing installprefix' appeared...[/edit]

[final edit]I got it! copying the bootloader to the phone memory did the trick. But still I had to unpack the tar.bz2 to a plain tar (but had to leave the tar.bz2 also!). It is still starting up at the moment (populating root and so...), but I believe it will work fine from now.[/final edit]
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Chasalin:
Just to let you know: after screwing up a lot of things I had to do a reinstall and that went fine just copying the two original files to the SD card...
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] korro:
Hello,

i'm trying to run this on Artemis with Black&Blue 5.0 Rom,

but it's freezing on message 'Mounting SD card",

do You maybe faced something like this?

Regards.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] BabelOued:
Hi,

If you read my first post, you can see that to start linux on HTC Artemis,. you have to copy both file on root folder of you SD Card. This mean you will see files in Storage Card/ . If it is not the case you can't boot.

In the same you need at least 200Mb free after copying both file on SD.

Good luck
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] korro:
Hi,

thanks for Your replay.

I've done it's like that, both files are on Storage Card.

After running exe file, there is linux logo and booting screen, but it stops on message 'Mounting SD card'.

What i'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Regards.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] BabelOued:
Sorry, not sure about your issue, it seem that can be your sdcard, or your artemis is running something different than mine...

Strange thing is that it create the 200Mb file, all should be ok after that.

Where is the qtopia image 200Mb file ?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] korro:
I'v just copied 2 files on SD and run exe file.

Should I unpack bz2 file?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] BabelOued:
The process of this install is as described below :

* copy both file on root folder of sdcard

* start .exe

* first step is creation of a 200Mb .img file at same place than .exe and .bz2 files

* second step is unpacking bz2 to the .img file

* last step is to switch the rootfs from initrd to the img file and boot

All these steps are fully automatics.

Maybe you have to delete the .img file and try again.

Then you canlook where it fail
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Chasalin:
I had a similar problem, but while trying to mount the sd-card, it said 'FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL'

and then it gave a command-prompt.

Although I was convinced I was following the instructions, the following helped, altough I have no clue as to why, because it's not really logical:

1. I copied the .exe ALSO to the fixed-memory

2. I unzipped the tar.bz2 to a plain .tar file

So I had the following setup:

phone

|-1GB-sd

| |- .exe (about 1,8M)

| |- .tar (about 107M)

| |- .tar.bz2 (about 38M)

| \- [about 880M free space]

|- .exe

\- [about 8M free space]

with this setup, Qtopia created the .img (200M) file and booted correctly.

As I said before, after screwing up the system I could reinstall it by deleting the img and it worked *even though I had deleted the .tar file!*

You might want to try it... If you like illogical solutions ;)

It is not logical at all, i m sure about the script, it use only .bz2 no need of .tar file :)

I tried to add the contents of the system.tar.gz and the data.tar.gz into ur bz2 file.. then i moved the init from the system.tar.gz into the /sbin dir ur bz2 file.. when i run qtopia i get a kernel panic after all the content are extracted.. I am lost... I even tried compiling my own kernel but i keep getting comiple errors when i do the "make htcartemis_defconfig...etc".

Google Android went release 1.0 last night. Can we start playing with it now... and put together some clear and detailed instructions for running Android on the Artemis. I see the their are instructions for the Kaiser and Polaris, comon guys lets do this.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] BabelOued:
to compile the kernel you need to get toolchain, for example the one from codesourcery.com or another is available and works fine at qtopia.net download, the one for fic phone.

Once you install it under /opt/toochain

you have to add bin to your path, then

make htcartemis_defconfig && make

optionnal ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- can be added

about Android you can follow the same way than for kaiser or polaris, i ve tried it last month and works on artemis too
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] RMJ250:
Ahah, got Qtopia to work, didn't realise you had to create a Linux partiton on the memory card for it to work...looks nice, not as quick as I thought it might be, would be interesting to try it when calling and text is functional.

Hi, I'm no Linux expert, but a search on the error looks like a problem with the partition.

I used Ubuntu to partition my 2Gb mini sd card with a 1Gb ext2 partition using gparted and when you write the new partition, you have to unmount the card (which gparted pointed out and asked if I wanted to)

I then copied the 2 files to the windows partition (I had the files on a Windows PC), put the card back in the phone, started it up and ran the file,

Hope this helps,

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] cozzykim:
That would be because the GSM module (= PHONE ) isn't working yet !!!

Yes, make sure there's plenty of space left on the card after you put the files on it, 200Mb at least.

It takes a while to decompress everything and mine hung at;

#######Starting Qtopia on HTC Artemis####### for ages, I soft reset and the second time everything happened much quicker and booted up.

I also had a problem with the backlight like someone posted earlier but I was able to go into settings in the Qtopia GUI and increase the backlight level.

Just to re-iterate for those who can't/won't read the thread:-

Currently only Bluetooth, GPS and USB are working. (I say "only", it's a major achievement) The GUI looks really cool though, Thanks BabelOued for the hard work.

GSM (phone) WiFi DO NOT WORK YET!! Sorry for yelling :D

When you want to go back to WinMo just soft reset.

any news about suspend and the like?

I have my artemis booting linux and kind of working (I just played around with menus). But if I do not keep typing it goes off and only a battery cycle will

resume it.

So first question: Can I prevent it to go in suspend mode (and quit!)?

/etc/apm/ is not much help.. I checked mounting the SD on a loopback

device.

Any /proc/sys/kernel/ stuff?

In this case.. loop device will not work.. How do I see the device

while running? Will USB or WIFI work out of the box?

I got a while ago e second phone from HTC and I keep this one

as a backup.. I do not mean to kill it but I'll be available for tests

if required.

It is an HTC artemis sold as Orange (switzerland) M650 [SPV].

New kernels

Hi Guys,

I thought that trying out new kernels would be a matter of untar'ing the .tar.bz file and repack it with a new zImage and corresponding /lib/modules/-dir, but it would seem that the exe file consistently loads the same kernel every time.

How do I tell it to use one of the ones I've compiled?

hello! I have a little problem here, and maybe you can help me.

Fist time I installed a new rom in my artemis, I before run Artemis USPL to CID unlock to be able to do it. After that, i´ve been changing roms all the time, without the need to run USPL again and I also used qtopia. The thing is, last week I had to install the official windows 6 rom, and now to change to a new rom, I think I have to run the USPL again. But when running the USPL tool, in the moment the artemis is supposed to reboot to windows, I see the linux pinguin and trying to start linux like when i had qtopia, and finally I get a black screen because I am not using the sd card. So, i guess, running qtopia overwrote the bootloader or something,no? and that is making USPL not to work, am i right? Is there any way to make the phone boot as before running qtopia to make USPL work??

Thanks for your time!
