For anyone using my 1.5 builds, I uploaded the startup.txt file that I use to my repo:

http://ratedo.com/android/

You can rename the file to either startup.txt or default.txt, whichever you use.

Note: I have sleep_mode set to 0 since those 2 occurrences of the screen not lighting up. Again, the display comes on and you can faintly see it and use it if you angle it in the light just right. I'll fix this soon.

I was planning on working on getting some more work done tonight, but we have some FHA changes I need to deal with at work and probably won't get a chance. Maybe Monday!

Quick question. I prefer android 1.5 over 1.1... what do you all prefer?

Thanks!

Okibi I think most people would definitely switch to 1.5 as long as it's stable like 1.1.

Android 1.5 and Wi-Fi Drivers

Hello Everyone,

First of all just wanted to thank everyone on the development of android. But I have a few questions. First, is 1.5 out and fully running like 1.1? Second are there wifi drivers out that I can download and someone tell me how to install? There was a link a pages back about a patch but I dont know how to install it on Android 1.1 to make it work. If someone could let me know that would be great.

Thank You

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] garringm:
I prefer 1.5 over 1.1. Dzo and a few others have dojne extraordinary work on 1.1 since its debut on here. I have been watching this since the original cupcake version and it has come a long way with these guys working on it. Android has become my OS of choice now that 1.1 is running very stable I very seldom have a reason to go back to winmo only to download updates. I believe now I will be getting the tegra based phone with Android instead of windows when it is released. (Unless there will be someway to run Android on top of it the same as this)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] :
tried 1.5 but..... the music player cant find the SD Card:confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Pandemic187:
1.5 is newer and I always prefer newer software. I'm not sure of the specific advantages yet as I haven't looked into it, but I will definitely prefer 1.5 as soon as it becomes a bit more stable.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] okibi:
I have a fix ready for the sdcard issue, however I won't be able to apply/test it until tomorrow.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] chrisrc1985:
ok - have kinda begin to get back into the android platform.

I downloaded 1.5 - togga working well. can connect to internet / google maps

I noticed in previous versions there was a SIP kybd. I can not access that in this version.

Also, I could not set up google talk or gmail.

youtube not working - no network connection error.

--as of right now thats all I have for you.

Apologize if they are all already known. -if so, any work arounds for the gmail???

also - how does one go about viewing the files on there SD card. Im use to Total Commander lol :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] bravekid20:
Question?

Hi Everyone,

Has the 1.5 been released and working like 1.1? If so could someone give me the links to get it. Also does the wifi work? Past posts some okibi says that wifi drivers are included but not by default. What does that mean? So please let know the things please.

Thank You

Wifi drivers

(with all respect) Would you take the time to read the whole 538 paged thread??? All I want to know is if the wifi and 1.5 are working. If so if someone could be nice enough to atleast send me the link. So if you wanna help please do so.

Thank You
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mikentucson:
i would have at least read the past few pages. links to the latest 1.5 system.img have been posted. alot of info for the main repositories are on the very first page. wifi drivers are included but not working like obiki stated in his post. 1.5 is not very stable right now
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] bravekid20:
Wifi drivers

Hi there,

I really appreciate your reply. I actually did read the last few pages, and do know the link for the 1.5 but from what I'm hearing is that 1.5 is still really buggy. However with the wifi, I wanted to know whether if it does work with the okibi's links or not. Also some guy few pages back posted links to a patch but dont know about it. Basically, I want to know if wifi drivers are available and if so how to download. Please let me know.

Thank You

Fantastic Work

I'm very excited to see how far this project has come already. I haven't looked at the Android projects since I had my last phone, the HTC Apache. In the wiki for that release they had a table that showed all the phones features in a table with their status like on this page - http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HTCApache . Is it possible for the leaders or main developers to consider this so that we can frequently check on the status of this amazing project. Once again keep up the great work :)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] seidler2547:
IMHO, that's the wrong way to go. It would be much better if the phone could suspend as before, but could be woken up by any keypress. This would allow for much longer conversations :)

I would implement this myself, but as you have probably noticed, I don't have much time lately.

Stefan
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] seidler2547:
Well, except that they are not! Or how else could I be running internet without any ppp values in my default.txt? I mean, yes, if you leave wrong values there, there could be a problem, but if you don't figure that out, I don't know...

IMHO the guides are pretty clear about most of the problems that are discussed recently anyway - it is just that no-one is bothered to read them.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aggarath:
If the phone suspends during a call doesn't that mean that the call is cut off?

Also I like to hang up without having to wake up my phone first, so dzo's modification makes sense.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Mr. Zach:
GPS Default Location

I understand that the GPS doesn't work and that a set of values have been created so apps think it is, is there a way to change those coordinates so apps like weather bug have the correct home town for 'my location?'
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mburris:
Before what would happen is the phone would start to sleep automatically during a call. So if you were calling an automated system with "Press # for..." prompts then you would not be able to get the panel to turn back on so you could use the keypad.

The suspend event would not affect your conversation (it would not disconnect your call) but it would prevent you from using the on screen keypad. After the panel suspended, trying to wake it with the button on the upper right side of the phone would both wake and terminate the call.

I think the solution DZO gave us work well.

The only other solution would be to remap the side 'wake' button to only wake, instead of being 'wake + end call'
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] JeckyllHavok:
Yes, that would be a great feature.

On your website under all files have you made changes to the entire android build or just bits and pieces. I see you have a newer build dated 6/02. I am not able to download from your latest kernel link it just shows up all garbage does it sometimes, sometimes it don't. I suspect it is my OS or browser causing this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aggarath:

I think the side button and the end call button are mapped the same (perhaps in the kernel), because afaik they always have the same effect.

Togga is not working in 1.5...

Hello,

I installed 1.1-02-06-09. I checked that Internet is working, market also, calls too, GMail not...

so I downloaded android-1.5 upgrade-kaiser from ratedo.com/android and I changed initrd.gz and system.gz. All the time I have good values in default.txt regarding ppp - after I am starting Android 1.5 and I am creating APN (the same values for name, username, password - it is working in 1.1) I cannot connect to anywhere - togga / modem are not working. Togga is crashing and modem is not able to connect.

What is going on?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] okibi:
I'm not exactly sure what you are doing here. To run 1.5, you need a fresh install of 1.1 as a base. Once you have it fully working for you, replace initrd.gz and system.img, as well as any parameters in default.txt or startup.txt and turn your phone back on. There is no need to reconfigure anything as it will retain all your old settings. Don't use Togga at all, just use modem if your internet isn't connected.

Thanks!

but terminal it no longer has root access and I cannot su to root

su -

3) outgoing calls end as soon as dialed (unable to call anyone)

4) Incoming calls answer but no audio and cannot hang up!!!! disconnects on remote end but shows it is still connected and is kept online (cant call again goes to voicemail) unable to hang up

Camera not working

Hi. First of all... thanks for this great job! I'm running Android package 1.1-22-05-09.

I have the latest 1.71 radio installed and M2d_2dBlueLife by Utopykzebulon (6.5 I think. note sure as M2D file names doesn't include a versionning :p)

I had some issues at first, but all cleared, except one...

So my question is, does anyone have the camera working?

I only have a black screen when trying to use it.

I've looked in this topic but can't see anyone clearly reporting this issue.

Thanks again ;)

Martin Johnson [Thu, 21 May 2009 21:46:57 +0000]
Don't suspend when in a call, use 9.6MHz A11 clock increments.

came into the code, the phone would go to sleep during a call, the A9 would still handle the codec (means the call is not affected by the main processor going to sleep) and the phone could just be woken up by any keypress (except "end call" or "power" keys) during the call which then allowed you to use it during the call (e.g. for entering keys for automated phone systems).

That is IMHO the best behaviour, as it is also the most similar to WinMo (except that you wake WinMo using the power key) and the most power saving.

Apologies if this has been covered in the wiki or earlier in the thread, but having looked, I can't see that it has been.

Am I right in thinking that actually playing ringtones is not yet working for android on the htc kaiser? Or does anyone have this? I've been using several on dzo's 1.1 builds, and have recently switched to okibi's 1.5 builds (which incidentally, I find more stable, save for the lack of SD card issues).
