striped scrren solved (for me) USB internet question

I changed it to "1", so far so good. From time to time "it looks like" it would like to give me a striped screen (it turn white, or fills with multi coloured dots for a short while), but then it compose it self.

Great, thanks!

Anybody knows if USB can give me an internet connection?

Hey guys, just a short question:

Is it recommended to create an own partition on my sd card for android?

And if yes, which filesystem is the best and can i access the other partition than, too?

Ok that were more than a short question:rolleyes:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aggarath:
If you read a few pages back you can read that someone had trouble with 2 or more partitions and the new release. Dunno if it's solved, the guy made his own fix.

Partition has to be ext2 (or maybe ext3), but if you don't know you can probably better stick to files on you sd card.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] JeckyllHavok:
Yeah, i read this. I think i'll try with ext2, i think i need to manually mount the other partition, which is fat32.

Will post my results

Hey Guys ..

This Project Rocks !!!

I've installed android 28-4-2009 yesterday and it worked amazingly ..

But still 2 things preventing me from using it all the time ..

The Bluetooth thing

and the 2nd thing (which surprised me) .. Can't the System play Videos ?? I didn't see anything or any program that can play video files .. is there anyway I don't know it ??

Keep Up the Good Work !!

Does the phone disconnect for some of you guys? I just went to the newest build and it disconnects every now and then. At the top of the screen the signal just dies and comes back instantly.

What does it mean when it blinks red on standby too?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] milas:
The only issue with this will be that dzo updated the system.img when he added GPU support in the kernel, so you probably won't be able to get the GPU acceleration while using an older system.img, although I could be wrong.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] rippir:
You are correct... So a choice must be made (until the problem is fixed):

No GPU support

I've been trying the 1.5 version by f00bar over the last couple of days and one thing i notice is that the screen looks much more clear than on the 1.1 version on any resolution. No more blurry effects, it almost seems like this 1.5 version is already capable of doing our resolutions with the downscaling. Anybody knows why this is? I think this is a big advantage of 1.5 over version 1.1.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] imfloflo:
@Michel82 i noticed this during the boot sequence i finally can read clearly the code.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dimarzzio:
I'm now using that bundle, and one thing I notice most is that it has 91 MB phone storage, compared to 31 MB I got from the other builds I used. How's that possible? I'm very pleased with that. And when I tried API demo, the gpu graphic test seemed to run smoother. In the triangle test it's got 18-20 ms/f, compared to around 36 ms/f in the other builds I usually used.

But I'm so curious about the storage, can anyone explain why there's 31 and 91 MB phone storage?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] lewwy:
Hi All,

I recently put android onto my phone, but some things have broken in my upgrade path:

1) Thumbnails no longer display in gallery, which is a pain when I'm trying to look at photos etc

2) I've noticed from version to version the display has looked a little blurry in certain releases. This latest release (the one that fixes the GPU) is looking a little blurry, but no biggy.

In the latest release I didn't upgrade, I replaced all the relevant files from the zip into the storage card. Does HaReT or android create any other files that I can remove to get a clean install?

Thanks all

Lew

Extremely buggy on my Kaiser 8925 (in my opinion)... Unless I did something wrong.

All I did was:

Updated system.img and initrd.gz

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] rippir:
I didn't spend too much time on 1.5 (5 min)... Biggest things for me are:

Can not make phone calls (immediate hang up after call is initiated)

and

Non-Stop vibrating when moving shortcut/icons (example: when I hold my finger on the clock to move icon it causes my phone to vibrate non-stop... until I power off my phone.)

Minor things are:

I prefer the screen res/size (looks bigger) on the builds DZO offers. And "touch" interface seems to respond better.

Maybe the link to 1.5 system.img and initrd.gz posted above are not optimized for the Kaiser... I'm still new to Android.

The same thing happened to me, had to push the button and wait until the screen back on. And I felt that the GUI was a little bit slow, I don't know if it was because of the high resolution. But there was an advantage on the camera, it came up, but unfortunately it needed SD card, which was not detected. When I went to the camera, it showed a chessboard pattern and a square flying over, and also the menu.

Phone Calls can be received... but not sent

Before The GPU Update I had to use an older build to allow me to send or receive any calls. I updated the initrd and zImage from newer releases to stay current.

Yesterday I "clean" installed android-1.1-03-05-09.zip with the hopes of having GPU support and the ability to send/receive calls. Everything ran great mostly. I was able to connect to data with EDGE speeds (my provider only offers EDGE for my phone) and receive calls... but could not send calls (immediate hang up after call is initiated).

I know others have had this problem with previous builds. I was hoping there is some kind of explanation/theory on why I can receive calls but not send them.

****************************

If anyone can not send/receive calls here is a fix that will work without GPU support:

Running the v1.5 that was posted recently.

I was a little unimpressed with the size of the icons/text when using the 320x428 resolution I was using in v1.1

As a fluke, I decided to set the resolution to 240x320 (the native display resolution on the kaiser) and everything looks FANTASTIC!

All the text is tack sharp, and everything is the right size for the screen.

Now to figure out how to get Toga to run...

Also, suspending how is that going for you????
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] danielbmarshall:
Thanks for the recommendation. This resolution also look great on my Kaiser when adjusted in the default.txt. Instead of using Togga, try using Modem, located in the settings. I have found that this will allow me to connect with radio 1.71.09.01 just long enough to get an IP and browse 1 webpage. Then it disconnects, and will not allow for connection again.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aggarath:
in the default.txt
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] d.bobo:
For me the same experience ;) Togga gave me a error, and modem can get a connection for lets say 30 seconds :(

I hope the solution is simple :D

Some other information about SDK 1.5, the native resolution from the kaiser is now supported. But the old wrong way screen turning is again for me the problem.

So a larger resolution is not needed anymore, but the screen will flip in the wrong way when I open the keyboard. :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ibanezbass:
Ok I got it 1.5 to resume by keep clicking the power btton. however I still have my problem with my screen flipping the wrong way when the resolution isn't set to 320x480. Any ideas?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] outsider787:
Some apps don't scale properly (stuff gets cut off). All the apps needed to make calls, view calendar, email work.

Third party apps are hit and miss.

Problems with the suspend/resume. Problems with the screen rotated the wrong way when the keyboard is slid open, which is weird because I could swear that the high res screen I had originally, rotated the screen the wight way. hmm..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] skola28:
The rotation is dependent on the resolution settings. Many of them rotate left, a few rotate right.

Use 336x448, it rotates the correct way.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] outsider787:
That makes sense.

My original resolution was 320x428 and it also rotated the right way.

I can confirm that 240x320 does NOT rotate the correct way.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] NealCCM:
For those using Android 1.5 on Kaiser,

the resume issue can be solved by setting pm.sleep_mode=0 in the default.txt file.

the flip issue can be solved by setting the resolution to 258 x 344.

But, one thing I noticed is, my battery drains so fast with Android 1.5 :(

Good Luck Guys.

A few weeks ago, I've read something about usb, and also the port status page on the wiki mentions usb is 'working'.

Should the pc see the phone as a storage device?
