if you boot the way suggested by the bootkit default.txt setup you are not really booting from SD-

What haret does is, it puts the kernel (zImage) and a ramdisk (android.bin , see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initrd for more info) into your RAM. Then the kernel is executed and uses the filesystem in the ramdisk as rootfilesystem. (rootfilesystem is like what is on C:\ in windows)

Until you mount the SD card, your kaiser's filesystems remain untouched i.e. you run android/angstrom/whatever without any persistent storage. And that's the problematic part at the moment, accessing the SD card from linux.

As soon as SD works fine, instead of putting an initrd in RAM, you can simply extract the desired rootfilesystem on your SD and boot from there instead of RAM. This already works with rootfilesystems from the Ångström Distribution, because it is very light and minimalistic.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dasilva333:
so can anyone make a package with all the required files and changes and updates and modifications required to have kaiser boot off the sd card? like zip it up or rar it and post it so it can be one easy install package without having to file all sorts of files please?

the easier it is for everyone the higher the adoption rate for this new OS

Is the first post the lastest update from Android for the kaiser? if not can post it? can i install the 0.9 version?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] cboy007:
yes, the first post is always updated with the latest update for android

and no, no one can install the 0.9 version without the SD drivers or shrinking it down to fit on main memory...neither of which ppl have done yet.

is it just me or does it freeze when you try and do anything? ie. open a webpage, go to maps, dev tools, etc?

Yep, in your default.txt, the parameter "board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt=" can be set to "1" (ATT Tilt) or "0" (HTC TyTn II). Change to whichever you have, reboot, and Viola!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Rhys'Droid:
What system/basefiles are you running? I find that most of the time Android at least FEELS considerably faster on the Kaiser than Windows Mobile does. Have you tried mssmison's method for running it from a partition on the sd card rather than a compressed system.sqsh? It makes a pretty considerable difference. Also, Donut>Cupcake (at least for me...) Zenulator's Droid-Ion-Donut build (in the Vogue forums) is great.

enatefox:

I'm so sorry to say so, but wififix did not fix anything for me. My Kaiser crashes after some time of wifi usage (it freezes completely on try to turn off the WiFi) as it did before I applied the fix. The only difference - now the battery dries out instantly (1 hour) if I forgot to turn off the WiFi and the phone shuts down itself .

What supposed to be fixed after all?

I finally found, but I don't know how resolve it, why my wifi don't work (unsuccessful DHCP).

With rootfs of recoverfiles2.2 and rootfs of basefiles2009-10-09, wifi failed on dhcp; if i take another rootfs (i tested 15,16 and 23-10-09) wifi works... but no ext2 partition :(

I mount them on my desktop but i can't see any diff.

Thanks for your help
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] clemsyn:
cmsu,

Please try my rootfs.img. It's based on enatefox 11/2 rootfs and I replaced the wlanko which seems to work better since it doesn't hang on my kaiser. If the connection gets messed up (which just happened once in 2 days) you can turn off the wifi and turn it back on. Hope it helps.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
Edit: Just saw clemsyn's post, I'll test that first.

Edit2: There are minor changes from the recovery rootfs and clemsyn's, I'm building a rootfs.img with clemsyn's mods that works for ext2 partitioned cards...

Edit3:

Just made the changes, testing... if you would like to try the file, pick it up here.

Diff from recovery rootfs:

$ diff -r rootfs.recovery rootfs
Only in rootfs/initetc/wifi: fw1251r1c.bin
Binary files rootfs.recovery/initetc/wifi/wlan.ko and rootfs/initetc/wifi/wlan.ko differ

Holy hell, somehow now 3G data works for me!!!!!!! Thanks to the gods. Running Zen's Magic Sense build with ext2 partition and no compcache.

Unfortunately even with the Wifi fix script and my altered rootfs, I can see access points but not connect. Hopefully this file helps for someone else!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] clemsyn:
I tried Zen's magic system.sqsh and I also can't to wifi using my rootfs.img. It is seen by wifi but unable to connect. Hmmm...may be the system.sqsh by Zen itself coz I can connect with ION, xrom 1.5, Dark Donut 2.0 and Hero by Jamazelle (wifi fix by Jekylhavok). Any input would be appreciated.

The latest wifi issue I had was that open networks were detected but I couldn't connect to my AP no matter what. I ended removing it from the list, added it without any key.

Hello,

I am having trouble with yesterdays basefiles. when I boot Android its say some thing is not there data.img I believe had to see the screen, it looks for partition and loads rootfs and does some check then it gives #

I am using HTC-donut that was post along time ago sqsh system.

any help would be grateful!

Also how do I go about doing this partition setup?

Sincerely,

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] vilord:
sorry folks, yesterday's build had a bug that would only work if you had 2 partitions. fixed now to support no partitioning and also to support just a system partition.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] clemsyn:
hmm..didn't have 2 partions on my SD card but it worked fine for me (except for wifi which I had to replace the tiwlan.ini)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] cmus:
clemsyn - you are the man. This rootfs finally got wifi working great on donut for me. Thanks a ton. Do you know if your changes were added to the basefiles package that vilord put up on the google code page?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] clemsyn:
Yeh, I did add to the latest basefiles. Here is the link. Hope it works for you coz its got the latest wifi files. Let me know how it goes. Thanks

BTW, I have sent the file that I used to update the latest rootfs.img to vilord. Hopefully he gets it optimized for the next release :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] cmus:
Not sure if things are working right or not. I just installed the latest basefiles package from google-code but then replaced the rootfs with yours. This was after I reformatted my sdcard to have a fat32 partition and 2 ext2 partitions. Everything loaded and wifi works, but I never saw any option to hit the volume down button to initialize the installation of data and system to the ext2 partitions. Does your rootfs not allow for this tweak? Or did I miss the option somewhere?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] clemsyn:
cmus,

I'll try to setup an ext2 partiion on my SD and see how it works (since I only have one partition on my SD). If you can PM me on how to set up 2 ext2 partion on my SD, I'll greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
clemsyn, if you're using Linux here's how to partition with fdisk
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] cmus:
you can follow enatefox's instructions if they make sense to you. I use parted as it is a little more user friendly and has a good help file which will get you through things if you get stuck.

Edit --

I went back to the rootfs that is included with vilord's basefiles and wifi does not work. Using his basefiles with clemsyn's rootfs allows for wifi, but it does not allow for installation to the ext2 partitions. How's about you two geniuses get together and combine your efforts to produce the latest, greatest kaiser android extravaganza.... forever grateful.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
I recall someone said that with NSFan(?)'s ROM you can go into a recovery mode and partition. But you're SOL without Linux or maybe a Mac because you need EXT2 support. Best advice is to download a live CD of Ubuntu or something and run it in a virtual machine like Virtualbox. Or maybe Wubi but I never tried it

Here is the hybrid rootfs you are looking for. I was going to test it before posting, but all this SD card repartitioning hosed my partition table, everything can read it but my Tilt, so I'm waiting for Vista to reformat 8 GB... *yawn*

Shh I'm going to get in trouble again for forking the rootfs so get it while it's hot :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] clemsyn:
I'm downloadin a liveCD right now and vilords latest rootfs.img released 7 hrs ago. I'll try to do my fix in this root and post it here. In the meantime, you might want to consider polyrithmic's rootfs.img since he is very experienced in ext2 installation
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
Sorry, to be more clear, I didn't use the rootfs from the basefiles, I used the more updated (latest, currently) one from ~7 hours ago, and moved over the tiwlan.ini from clemsyn's rootfs .

It's really rather easy to do from linux, I just mount the two images and copy over whatever needs to be copied.

I'm using gParted in Linux to make my partitions and it works great, 90% of the time. I'm about to boot with my rootfs, we'll see how it goes
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] clemsyn:
cmus,

OK, here is the latest of vilord with wifi fixed (at least for our device). Please let me know if it install on ext2 partition. Thanks. I guess we will have the exact same rootfs.img as polyrhythmic :). BTW, is it really faster when creating partion to install android?

http://www.2shared.com/file/9216186/cbcbe899/rootfs.html
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
clemsyn, I'm pretty sure you and I have posted exactly the same thing, (although I haven't mounted and diff'd the images to check).

I can confirm my posted rootfs works awesome with 3G and Wifi on Kaiser on a ext2 partition install of Donut-Ion-Eclair, and the other rootfs's weren't working for me.

This new zImage is doing the wrong-way screen thing at 320x240 on Donut though... gotta fix that next
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] cmus:
Polyrhythmic and Clemsyn -

Hip Hip Hooray.... This one works with wifi and ext2 just as you said it would. Thanks for your work. And yes Clemsyn - it does feel faster on ext2.

hmmm, looks like you are right about the upside-down screen flipping issue with donut. ahh, well. I can live with that.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
If you guys are throwing around different files, can you post the MD5 sigs of them so we can see? There aren't a lot of people that have or are capable of compiling drivers and libraries so there's not a lot of variety so if you can just post the signatures, we can see what is working best together. Using the base files and rootfs.img from vilord is working fine for me so far.

One thing that is different about using a partition for system is that permissions do not get preserved. /system/bin files are chowned to 0:2000 which is not expected and root is "broken" setuid 0. This is a concern as I think it's causing the breakage people are reporting with features like data and wifi. I can't chown files to root:2000 like with sqsh or cram and I'm looking into it.

And the resolution settings are the reason for the screen flipping. It's not kernel related. I'm using native (for a G1/MT3G) 320x480 and have no issues whatsoever.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] vilord:
permissions should be preserved in the installer in my stuff...

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] 160bpm:
Hi All,

A total strange question but try to ask:

Is it technical possible to build rootfs, system etc etc as follow

rootfs(xxxxxxxxxxxx).img

system(xxxxxxxxx).img or the other one.

OS look if the file always start with rootfs then free text end with a .IMG

so you can add a creation date of the file so you can update/downgrade very easy...

It seems like I am invisible, but just trying to help. but I see that nobody cares.

can you help me with another problem, but not as before: I imported my sim contacts, and when someone calls me, I do not get the name, just number. using sa same build Droid-Ion Donut 1.6 from Zen.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
vilord, I cp -paRf'd the files to my partition on my computer instead of using the installer so maybe that's why and I'd need the phone running to establish correct ownership... things to look at I guess

160bpm, how would you write a script to find the correct image to use? Or do you mean only one image with arbitrary naming? That would be easy if you edit /init to something like:

export theimagetouse=`ls /sdcard/system*`

provided there's no other system* file and then use that in the IF/ELSE statements where it mounts the image.

djp3k05, what is the problem with market? Does is say it can't establish a connection with the server? Are you using wifi? My contacts show up correctly on my images, I haven't tried Droid-ION but you should probably ask on his thread so he can look at it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] 160bpm:
I'm not a programmer only a thinker :)

yes system looks to system*.sqsh or system*.img

if you want try a new version or testing couple you can rename .sqsh or .img so it is not part of script anymore.

And you can add a date in filename. If someone ask what system you use you can give the exact date etc etc.. :)

It seems handfull for testers and programmers...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] djp3k05:
enatefox -i'm using Wi-Fi, which worked perfectly, but i can't connect to the market. i have this error: can't establish a reliable data conection to the server. this could be a temporary problem or your sim card may not be provisioned for data service. My question was if someone used this build had the same problem. I think that is a donut problem. on older releases (xrom) the market went perfectly. I'll try a Build of yours to see if everything is ok, market and contacts that do not appear.

Thanks for your answer.
