Outgoing Calls - Light in the end of the tunnel.

I have always the outgoing call issue with all android builds i've tried. This week, I made the following modification:

1- Change to radio 1.71.09.01;

2- Flash the new TCP Elite series V10 based on HTC Magic;

3- Boot the new Android Build -08-08-09 from androidonhtc.com;

This time I could perform an outgoing call and receive, finally, but now everytime it happens and erro message pop up and ask to force close. Here is the message:

"The process com.android.phone.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

This is happen everytime. BTW, I can talk normally and hang up call, but after that I need to force close the process which kill the phone radio and after few seconds activates again.

Someone nows what can be happen? There is some kind of log file that we could verify for diagnosis?

I'm using a HTC Kaiser, KAIS130 model.

Best regards!

Thanks for heads up enatefox

Test wifi hero system file from here:

http://code.google.com/p/vogue-hero/downloads/list

new zimage from here:

http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/downloads/list
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] MOUSEY:
Hi, may I know what are the changes in the latest system.img ? Is it a JACxHERO or Zen's or MSSMison's build ?

EDIT: Sorry, I did not check out the URL before posting. It's Zen's new build and a new zimage that was released as well. I'll test on it... thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ajclai08:
I just tested it out and I can't enable wifi, I'm gunna see if its the system.img for sure..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
ajclai08, where did that Mediafire link come from with wifi? Is that what you're referring to or are you referring to the one on Vogue-Hero Google Code?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Homeryz:
That's a funny line above, specially since it's so true.

tilt with latest hero build issues

AT&T Tilt

ROM: 3.57.505.2 WWE

radio: 1.65.21.18

The issue that I have is no matter which HERO system.img I try when I start haret, kernel boots, switches to graphics mode and then it start cycling showing "HERO" and "HTC logos.

Did I miss something?

For completeness I tried the hero packages from:

http://code.google.com/p/vogue-hero

and the latest hero.zip and zImage-12-08-09 from:

http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ajclai08:
set your mddi=320x480 in default.txt
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] monkata:
Thanks! that helped
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] SkywalkerPD:
I love the Android Hero package!

I only have two problems.

1. Exchange sync doesn't work. It think this has to do with our company policy that a security pin of 4 digits is required

2. I can't view or import my SIM contacts.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Mikulec:
Does anybody know if is it possible to have less today screens(the screen you can change by moving left and right). There are 7 screen, and I would like to have only 3.

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Dark-Side:
There is anybody who test Compcache (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=542899) on the HERO build?

No success for me (create corrupt rootfs.img)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
There is no one with compcache on our phones yet. Something I want to/am starting to look into. People smarter than me say it might not be so useful but I'm going to find out the old fashioned way. It lets G1 users run Hero ROMs pretty well.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Dark-Side:
thanks for your quick reply ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ruizit0:
is kaiser keyboard lag fixed in this new kernel ? please say yes :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Razva:
Again, can please somebody upload (rapidshare, mediafire, anywhere...) a working archive for Kaiser?

We're taking sources from 3 places...it's a mess...

Thanks!

Later edit: I've created a new Google Project page for Kaiser, so we don't need to mess Kaiser with Vogue. The link is http://code.google.com/p/kaiser-hero. Please let me know if any of you is willing to help by updating this build by putting together updated "parts" of Android/HTC on a single built. Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Your logic does not compute. You want a 4th source to make things easier?

This is the one to use:

http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/

And this is the one for Hero:

http://code.google.com/p/vogue-hero/

Anything else is extra or probably derived from the above.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ruizit0:
take the latest bundle from http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/ or http://code.google.com/p/vogue-hero/

like enatefox said :)

yeah your are right ... but http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/

is used to hero builds to.. so why dont separate if is already a hero source
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Different developers maintain the sites.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Jeovani:
tks

I was goin' mad.. Now I hope to see hero in my beloved Kaiser..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Vogue and Kaiser are almost identical except we have wifi and a keyboard. Are you actually developing builds for the Kaiser? I've had Hero running on my Tilt with wifi and all the goodies I just don't use it since it's too slow at the moment.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Razva:
It's done. Check it out. On my Kaiser it's working like a charm!

No, I'm NOT developing builds by myself, I'm just trying to read this forum as often as possible and make daily bundles with the latest files.

I would be VERY happy if you, and the other coders (whom I've already gave access to the page) would help me with this!

Later edit: I've opened a new topic for the HERO bundle at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4316284 . I've made this new topic in order to keep things clean, because here, on page 723, we've talked about vogue, android, kaiser, hero, all messed up, so I thought a specific "kaiser hero" topic would be a good ideea.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] MOUSEY:
Having a site to retain bundles is not a bad idea. The main dev sites had released quite a number of files in which gets removed and replaced from time to time. I hope you can also archive some of those files in different folders before it gets removed/replaced.

For example, I'm using the prior version of zImage called (zImage-kaiserwifi) as compared to the latest one because the new zImage had rendered the WiFi unable to scan APs for me. However this file (zImage-kaiserwifi) had been removed from the google code file since last night...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
They are deprecated but still there. Search All Downloads for "zimage"
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] MOUSEY:
Thanks ! :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Magister2k7:
I tried compcache and it works well on my Titan, so should work also on Kaiser.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
I've only found guides for compcache to using it on a rooted G1 so the path to /sdcard is wrong in the scripts for starters. Then it gets complicated. Would you mind sharing what you did? I'm intrigued with the idea for my laptop too but am looking to start with a phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] vilord:
I'd like to get compcache working if it will help, please post or PM me the details and we can get it into the standard rootfs.

PS If you're having problems with the latest stuff on google code, please let me know so it can be fixed.

We already have stuff in enough places as it is, and we don't need any more sources for stuff.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Razva:
Well...I'm just doing bundles, as often as the coders...code :p I'm keeping every downloaded file, but I don't think I'll download ALL of them. Still, if you need a file, maybe I'll have it somewhere :D

Also I still didn't received any answer from the coders so...we kinda don't know if the coders are willing to help the Kaiser community with specific builds or we should try different tricks (like we're doing right now) to make HERO work from Vogue to Kaiser.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
This thread is for Kaiser and we're all updating it with the latest. Hero is working on Vogue and Kaiser-- they're almost identical devices. It's just brutally slow as HTC interfaces tend to be. There's the twin thread of this one for Vogue started by dzo and anything that works on one should work on the other. If it doesn't it should be noted.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Razva:
Amin bro!

In the last 10 pages discussion jumped between Vogue and Kaiser and Vogue and Kaiser and so on... Maybe we should get back to the point - Android on Kaiser.

Still, we're talking about the "standard ported Android" or HERO built? Or about both?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Gscript has been one of my favorite apps. Can we get a list going of useful log files to aid development? I think we can work out a way to force SuperUser app to work on any build if we mess with initrd.gz to chmod 4755 /system/bin/su as many builds are defaulting to that one with PATH declarations. Then another script to put a folder on the home screen full of buttons to create various logs.

If I knew of some more... I've got:

logcat -b radio | tee /sdcard/debuglog.txt

logcat -f /sdcard/debuglog.txt

dmesg | tee /sdcard/debuglog.txt

What else?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Razva:
Sorry for jumping out of the last question/post, but when will the WiFi built be available? It's very cool that we have data working, but we still have these problems:

1) wifi not working

2) error when sending sms (this has been already fixed?)

Also, but I may be wrong, I notice that some HTC widgets are missing (like the favorite persons widget)?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
You mean wifi for Hero? I need the creator of any build to tell me I can fix and redistribute or else there's no more coming from me. I've posted a fixed one before so if you want it in the meantime, it works. My link has been taken down so you'll need to get it from someone else. Zenulator's been messing with his to get it to work, so check his out if you want.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] bandur:
I have a small problem with the latest hero builds:

With the hard-keyboards I cannot write capital letters when typing passwords (works fine on the soft key-board).

Also, Since Stefan worked on it a long time ago, there have been no additional efforts to get the kaiser jog-wheel to work properly.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Razva:
Checking right away!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Razva:
At me WiFi is still not working. Can anybody confirm that?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Here are the large and small day clocks from Hero you can use for other builds like Cupcake or ION. Just overwrite Alarmclock.apk with one of these and it will be the new widget.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ljinsane:
dude...

download this: http://vogue-hero.googlecode.com/files/zen-hero-090809.zip

this is the last HERO build to have wifi working....

all the builds after this have been test builds
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] NarSan:
Hero with working wifi:

first download this:

http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/downloads/detail?name=zen-hero-090809.zip&can=2&q=

paste to your sd card

then, download this:

http://www.mediafire.com/?giwccyxrbjz

rename to SYSTEM.img and paste to your sd card

and download this: (click on "pobierz" blue button)

http://www.sendspace.pl/file/10a35a3414009fcc8cf9b42

and paste to your sd card

And you have Hero with wifi working. (you must create a new data.gz)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
My link is down. I thought it already was but I guess Mediafire doesn't deliver when it comes to public/private folders. Sorry, but that's what's happening. I've got the official Hero ROM and I'm going to make my own this time. I'll keep you updated.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ajclai08:
have you tried helping out zen and getting wifi to work on his builds? I think his latest system file still doesnt support it and i'm still using the xrom 1.3 you got working for wifi..

The latest hero seems to be faster and I think it could be usable for me with wifi..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
ajclai08, I'm just going to make my own from now on. Luckily, I know what I'm doin :). The download just finished and it's time to cook
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ljinsane:
Have fun cooking:)

I'm patiently waiting to eat:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dzo:
No, but it should be in zImage-13-08-09 that I just put on the google code site.

I lent my old kaiser to a friend who desperately needed it for his business but I just got another one sent to me by loserskater (http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=1016795) so I fixed a couple of little things. The kbd should be better now and the gps should work OK in the southern hemisphere. I'll try to get audio input working next.

Everybody say a big thank you to loserskater...

This kernel should have wifi enabled but I haven't tested it because there's no wifi where I am now.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ajclai08:
welcome back to the kaiser dzo, ill be testing the the kernel asap ...and mad props to loserskater..he deserves a beer.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] MOUSEY:
Hi all,

I had got the latest rootfs (rootfs-swapfix-09-08-2009.zip) running but still su does not work from my end here. Can someone confirm if they had found success doing su from their end using the same rootfs ? Thanks.

These are the results running off from adb when I try to jailbreak it...

Cant seem to remount it as rw though...

Next is the swap. I had 90% or more usage on main memory but not much was used over at the swap.

Wifi gets enabled in the latest zImage but does not scan/sweep for APs from my first run. I'll delete the data.img and retry again later.

Thanks loserskater, that is very generous of you in support of this project !
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Mousey, /system/bin/su should be chowned by root:2000 with a chmod of 4755. Protip: chown first then chmod since it will raep the permissions.

I'll use this post to ask: anyone down to help me port a build? I'm not the best at making but I can take something and extend it. Me and Hero had a falling out and I could use some help getting past the boot screen. I've got some Donut sources, ION and the unwatermarked Hero at my disposal. I want to make a build that anyone can mod without any politics coming into play. Any takers?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] MOUSEY:
# chown root:2000 /system/bin/su
chown root:2000 /system/bin/su
chown: /system/bin/su: Read-only file system

Okay... I had also tried this

C:\>adb remount
remount failed: Unknown error: 0

That's the roadblock I'm hitting...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
I run that on my desktop. You might want to consider a Linux live cd on a virtual machine if you're adament on using Windows. Two lines of code and SuperUser works for me. 4 lines of code and wifi works on any build I've tested. I'm assuming you are using 8-8-9 from Google Code. I haven't yet tested newer zImages but I guarantee that 8-8-9 works if you do the following. If it doesn't, you are the reason. I've posted how to edit system.img's over 9000 times so it's an easy search-- if you are a "developer" you should be way past that. For thoroughness:

Assuming you mounted one of the system.img's I fixed wifi for at /mnt/good-system and there's a build you want to fix mounted at /mnt/any-system:

Enable su:

~$ sudo chown root:2000 /mnt/any-system/bin/su
~$ sudo chmod 4755 /mnt/any-system/bin/su

Enable wifi:

~$ sudo cp /mnt/good-system/bin/wlan_loader* /mnt/any-system/bin/
~$ sudo cp /mnt/good-system/etc/wifi/* /mnt/any-system/etc/wifi/
~$ sudo cp /mnt/good-system/lib/modules/wlan.ko /mnt/any-system/lib/modules/wlan.ko
~$ sudo sed -i 's/#wifi.interface/wifi.interface/g' /mnt/any-system/build.prop

Now you know my dirty secrets. There could be something I forgot to add here and I did tell Zenulator the same thing but his latest tests with "wifi working" apparently don't so there could be something else. I did peak at his last build and I found the problem with wifi immediately. All I know is, if you are using his version of JACxROM or Hero that I fixed wifi for, you know they work. I know, rootfs.img should be handling su however various builds have methods for overriding PATH and this can occur at different times during bootup. That's why I prefer to just fix the one that is going to ultimately be used so there's no need to worry it won't work.

Hope this helps. Also, I'm seriously asking for some help on getting a community build together so there's no issue with bug-fixing and redistribution. I think if there's an improvement to something it should be fair game so PM me or post here. This is stuff we shouldn't be struggling with. I want compcache and some other stuff I'll wait to post about working but we need to get past these noob issues or we're going to stall development I think.

dzo, about to test the new kernel, thanks for the update. They seem to be coming at a healthy interval so thanks to you, Vilord, Addisu and the list goes on.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] catchfire:
Zimage-13-08-09 has indeed fixed gps for southern hemisphere users. I haven't tested wifi yet but there were no mtd errors on boot.... insanely huge props to loserskater and dzo.

Oh and I am typing this reply from android and the keyboard lag is nowhere to be seen so far :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] MOUSEY:
Ah... now I learned a bit more... Guess I really need to boot up my minty linux for that cause. I was actually debugging off from the device itself earlier, I guess my digging would land me deeper into the pit... :P

Anyway I'm not using JACxROM, it's the same HERO ROM I posted a while ago (remember that build where you need to dial out before the phone can receive calls ?). It's still the best for me over here (wifi works, phone, sms dodgy but still ok, maps, market... etc). I suspect the main culprit is the memory usage - hitting at 90% on main memory all the time and not swapping is not really a good thing. I suspected that some apps had force closes was due to insufficient memory but I'll prove that later in comparison with ION builds. Anyway I hope the Compcache thingy will help too !

I need to attend a DELL seminar and will be back in the evening. Your idea of a community build is of good intentions but I doubt it's going to be easy but if such a day comes, I'll be the first to sign up as testers ! (Sorry, I'm just too old to be a dev anymore - maybe I'll train my son to be one) :)

Just wanted to give a huge thanks to whoever the peeps are behind the android port project... On a whim decided to look into installing this on my Tilt after burning through roms like hotcakes the past year and a half or so on my kaiser to find that perfect "winmo" rom... Truth be told, unless there are major structural changes to winmo, I couldn't see going back to that environment. With my gmail, gcal, and google voice integrated, I look forward to the progress of the port team.

Thanks again!

Trying "zen-hero-090809.zip" with "zen-hero-wifi-dalvik081209.img" (as system.img) along with "zImage-13-08-09" (as zImage).

I'm using the folowing default.txt

Loading speed is the same (3-4 minutes for the first boot). The new part is that the device rebooted again after the "location consent".

Home screen has the same loading speed, maybe a little bit faster, I didn't received the "need to wait" error.

The new widgets are nice and functional.

WiFi is STILL not functional on my Kaiser.

While I'm not an idjit, clearly I need to pay more attention...

I finally tried Android last night... and after muddling through "kaiser specific" install instructions that weren't specific, I got it to run with the newest kernel I could find.

I had 4 issues that kinda killed it for me.

1) no bluetooth (as I understand, that's an ongoing problem)

2) no way to import contacts from outlook (no contacts on SIM card)

3) wouldn't run TomTom or Garmin Mobile XT.

4) no camera function (also, I understand this is an ongoing issue)

I've searched for contacts and for GPS issues.... and not found answers. Anyone got any clues for me here?

Thanks.

BTW... I'm not worried about wifi... I rarely use my phone on wifi... like, in the two years I've had it I might've gone online over wifi 5 times. Really minor issue for me. On the other hand, bluetooth headset, camera, and GPS nav are huge issues for me and make any of the ports I've tried useless to me. For me, no camera, no bluetooth, no GPS, I might as well be on my old StarTAC with worse actual phone capabilities. The only reason I still put up with the Kaiser's (or any WinMO) poor phone abilities is because of the fringe benefits listed above.
