Are you using a data.gz to get your data.img? if so, get rid of it. I was having problems with data connection until i noticed the google code site said to not use one. The package will automatically create a data.img for you.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] TaC:
Mr Wyngaaard, i don't know if that's possible to fix at the moment, but you have a very easy solution. Each time you buy a code, restart in WinMo, send the code, and go back to haret. Very fast and easy. I hope in the near future you will be able to send that codes in android.

Do I notice the cell-tower triangulation working on this latest Kernel DZO? When I first open google maps now I get an approximate fix with the big translucent blue circle around it, before the GPS kicks in, and I get JUST the dot without the "circle of error" - also I noticed yesterday that Google Gears on the google home page was also able see my City, where-as previously even with GPS working in Maps/Loopt it was not.

Keep up the fantastic work guys!

HardSPL

Hello All,

I am trying to get my phone ready to allow it to be flashable with Android and also flash new radio as mine is 1.65xxx

I followed the instruction to a T and it gave me any error code 264

Also I wanted to know could you use OpenSync to do the HardSPL as I an no longer at the computer that has win xp?

Any ideas??

Thanks,

Christopher

signing in.

i thought the latest build had schnafood my data connection. I used exactly the same values in the new default.txt but couldnt do the 'main sign in' thing. so i havent been using it since the latest update.. well, today, i decided to skip the 'sig in' screen and go into the OS anyway. Turns out : if i start the modem by hand, i can get onto the internet, google homepage, view youtube yada yada.. but i still cant 'signin'..

what am i doing wrong now?

How goes development on Android for Kaiser? Is anyone working on 1.5 nowadays? I haven't really been watching this thread because I broke my Kaiser's screen on the 4th of July, but I got a new one today...just need to pick up a tiny screwdriver and I'll be able to take it apart. I hope to come back to a project that isn't dead. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] danvvc:
it was updated about a week ago. thats the latest.

u've probably missed gps support coming in?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Pandemic187:
I saw a post that said something about GPS. That's awesome. What are the necessary files on though, and which ones are needed to make it work?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
spiritssight, if you can make a flashable ROM for Android then I will buy you a soda. One thing that makes this project appealling is the ability to dual boot. G1 is only able to run Android but we at least have a choice. I don't know what error code 264 is. I just used Win7 in Virtualbox to install HardSPL and never need to touch that waste of an OS again. 2GB download is worth it if you don't otherwise have Windows available.

qwertz125, can you figure out how to rebuild a system.img? We've posted it many times on the thread. You can modify the keys by editing these 3 files: AVRCP.kl, qwerty.kl and tuttle2.kl

danvvc, need more info. This has been asked and solved a few times here now and I'd assume the fixes will work for you too.

Pandemic187, there was a build a few days ago. Things are going and the thread is still alive. I'm reposting my BASH script to check the latest ION build on Google Code if you want to quickly check:

just chmod +x it, then "sh script.sh" and if you're using Windows, there's ports for these tools (wget, sed, grep and awk) available to make it work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] spiritssight:
No no not me I have very very little knowlege in this stuff. I just have been following along for a while and I saw a few post on other threated that its getting closer and I figured I would do the HardSPL thing to my phone now so I am ready when it happens :-) which I am so so waiting to happen as I HATE windows

so please any help would be wonderfull :-)

Sincerely,

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] danvvc:
what is it you need to know :@

my process,

ive formatted my mem card, downloaded whichever version was the latest on Tuesday, installed that, updated my default.txt to the right apn settings, deleted the data.img file, booted haret, and created a APN in the connections/settings screen.

i skip the ion login screen, and go into the android homepage, can fire up the modem and i get connectivity through the browser, but the Ion login screen doesnt even try and up/download? not even a flicker on the 3G symbol?

hth.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
spiritssight, vilord added a hook to run scripts. Later today I will post a script that you can put on your SD card that will allow you to load any keylayout you want once I have tested it. Here's the files first and you can play around with them until then. They are the original keylayout since that's what I have at the moment and prefer.

start = show desktop

faceplate softkeys = menu

OK = back

I blame multitasking but anyways there are a lot of threads about flashing HardSPL and that error code-- it just worked for me. This worked for one person using Vista and media center. I hate to say it but it's probably a Level 8 error.

So to get GPS on the Kaiser I need to use the Vogue port? Because I posted in the Vogue forums about GPS not working a few weeks back and somebody said that the GPS written for Vogue won't work on Kaiser. Has that changed?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] vilord:
dan: Are you sure you put in the APN information correctly in settings->wireless controls->mobile networks->access point names? That can cause the symptoms you're seeing too.

Pandemic: Yes, that changed. GPS is now supported in the vogue port when using a kaiser.

Don't know if there is realy a need for starting GPS in WinMo. I just tried it without (turning on in WM) and it also starts in android and shows the correct position.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] nanomad:
Actually, the total lack of source code / patches for the vanilla 1.5 android build didn't help much. I'm a good coder, but if I don't know where to start, well, I can't do anything.

I'm still waiting for someone to tell me where to download _our_ version of the android sources.

edit: it could also be a radio problem. vilord, what radio/rom/SPL are you using?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dbudensiek:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] vilord:
nanomad, what problem are you having?

We don't have source for *our* version of the 1.5 android build, and we don't have patches because we didn't patch anything. It is a direct rip from the official Google Ion phone that was given out at the developer's conference in the USA. Thats why we don't have any language translations too.

I'm running on a vogue currently, my kaiser has a bad motherboard and a cracked screen so I couldn't tell you what radio is on it. The polaris hasn't arrived yet.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Pandemic187:
I haven't been able to get my location yet, even by doing this. By I also haven't gotten a GPS fix in Windows Mobile since that always seems to be a bit tricky to do. I'll be out driving today so I'm gonna see if it works after I get GPS in Windows Mobile.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] riano:
Pandemic187, in Winmo, google for "google maps mobile", it'll give you a downloadable app that can initiate both your 3g and gps. I too have to start my gps in winmo to get it to work in Android, took a while to figure that out.

That said, is anyone else experiencing flaky 3g connections in android? In winmo it all works fine and rapidly, but in Android I get a lot of data connection failures.

gps + my testing results

Hi,

You need a copy of gpstest from winmo, i am sure if can be found its in the dutty rom's. Also htc's quick gps will help. GPS receivers can take 10 mins from cold? so i am told - would suggest going out for a drink and leaving phone by your side and see what happens.

Also tested latest build today:-

Running

Radio 1.71.09.1

Dutty 19700 Wm 6.1 Build

Build 9/7/09 From googlecode..

It's stable.

I can make and receive calls and texts.

GPS works direct in Android.

Data DOESNT work unless I start it in winmo first, otherwise it fails to start data, modem app just hangs.

If i start in winmo then when android starts into modem and it tells ppdt went down, start it up and away it goes.

GPS Sucks the battery :-)

Phone will not recharge fully on charger.

If phone warns less than 15% battery it will hang and crash.

Tried running Nav4all but two issues:-

1) Even on car charger screen turns off - is there a setting to override this like winmo

2) Data goes down usually i think due to 3g going and gps coming back but then it fails to restart leaving nav useless.

3) Most apps work fine from market except Hi IM a msn app. Is there some blocked ports?

Funambol app to sync contacts works in windows but for some reason takes the first 160 contacts i have and now crashes all the time in android - so not the perfect solution!!

Its really good - i had a bet with a friend and said you watch it will come to upgrade time and this port of android will work and then what will i do! - clocks ticking 25th August 2009 - then its keep kasier or Hero hmmm..

One love

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tembares:
@aerok:

Did you try a clean installation? Rename your data.img to 'whatever' and download the latest bundle.

Delete all Android files from your SD-card, including the 'cache'-folder. Take out your SD-card from your computer and put it in again after a few seconds.

Copy all Android files to the root of your folder. After that you have to create the 'cache' folder again.

Fine tune the default.txt as needed.

Run HARET and test the outgoing call now.

When this does not help, shut down Android and rename your renamed data.img back to data.img.

One question from my side: do you use a pre-paid SIM or do you have a postpaid SIM?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aerok:

Make a folder "keylayout" also on your SD card's root.

Extract the 3 files attached and edit as you would like.

They are the original keylayout files in case you're wondering.

Place them into /sdcard/keylayout.

Don't use Funambol, their client is outdated and buggy. Export your Outlook contacts into CSV and import them into gmail using the 'old' gmail version. Many tutorials are available on the 'nets.

Latest Build:

GPS working great, sometimes fixes quickly, sometimes slowly, reminiscent of WM. GPS Status app doesn't show me heading or altitude, but I do get that data in WM.

Data works always with manual modem start. I am still using radio 1.65.16.25 and it hasn't done me wrong. Only bug would be that I can't take an incoming call if I haven't completed an outgoing call.

Battery is very unreliable. Sometimes it lasts for hours, sometimes it dies while it still has a 40% charge. Sometimes it refuses to charge. I am using Android more heavily, and am seeing less Comas of Doom. I can always get a quick, full charge by booting into WM or turning off the phone.

I tried to run this version without the overclock and it was just too slow for me. As reference, Neocore gave me 19 FPS where with the overclock I see 27 FPS. I run too many apps to run at 400Mhz.

Another odd bug is that it seems that the keyboard is less responsive in this build. It consistently doesn't pickup keypresses, like the similar issue in some WM Roms.

Overall I am using it on a daily basis! Thanks again and keep up the good work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ibanezbass:

searching didtnt help find ADB

I was wondering if anyone could let me know if android developers bridge and the ability to push files to places on the system.img

the only reason i ask is because i want to push a theme into the themes folder for sweeterhome--- and i currently cant do that without "unmounting" the sd card. This is impossible because the entire system is on the sd card with our kaisers.

im hoping adb will help.

short question: it seems like adb is supported on kaiser with the latest dzo kernel, but can i use it with the latest vlord Ion image and have adb still functioning?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Magister2k7:
Well, that script will only work if system.img has ext2 filesystem, and it only can replace one keymap with another, but will not give an ability to switch them 'on-the-fly'.

maybe there is some application on the market to do this (I have no access to the market, so cannot verify that)

if no, than we should look into compiling standart linux keymap switching tools for our phones.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] vilord:
system.img is not writeable, so keymaps and themes are a no-go for now.

the standard linux keymap switching tools currently won't work because of how android was written. When it comes to it, i think we're going to be stuck with making changes then rebooting to see the changes... but that will be better than nothing.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Well I thought it may work as a decent replacement for an app that doesn't exist since it's only 3 lines of code. You can't remount it r/w with "mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system" and have it work?

Swapping those files on my computer works fine so if a startup script doesn't work then just make the image with the keylayout like I do.

I'd love to see when the dalvik emulator for Ubuntu is going to hit teh webs. Maybe there's a way to get the phone app to run natively from desktop Linux?
