androidonhtc wiki

Ok

I just thought that I would try to contribute to this project. The wiki was kept up till about a month ago with mainly the builds from 1.1. At about the same time, we started seeing 1.5 builds sprouting up from different places. Now we have two main bundles from 1.5 (okibi's and the ion bundles). We still have only one 1.1 bundle, but dzo seems to have backed off his 1.1 bundles in this thread due to lack of interest.

I started to put a little work into the wiki because we have been flooded with the same questions over and over in the thread and people seem to be going there again. And just let me say that WIFI does not work yet.

I've been trying to go back through all the pages to find the current problems and previous solutions. I have be avidly following this thread since Feb and have had most of worked through most of all the issues with the people here. I don't post much, so as not to clutter this huge post.

To anyone who can help on the wiki, go make changes. Maybe we can start putting to go check the wiki first on every post to keep this thread smaller

As always, to the devs, thanks for all the great work.

can some1 post a 1gb data.img
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] stringbean82:
Havent had much time on testing the last week releases, due my nice holiday :)

Anyway great work guys, thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] vilord:
Okay folks, I finally figured out why the old initrd would work and the new one would not for data connections.

Head over to the google code link again and try it out.

Also, please don't repackage my stuff with DZO's stuff, because myself and DZO are already collaborating on the google code site, it has the latest stuff...

Finally, don't use a data.gz file AT ALL. It will cause your market and tons of other stuff to fail... initrd is designed to create a data store automatically

RE: adamc118, what do you need a 1GB data image for? If it corrupts you will just lose more stuff! If you have that much you should be putting it directly on your SD card... remember that eventually we'll be creating a flash image that sits on your internal memory which is, of course, only about 128 MB. And, you guessed it, that's how we came up with the 128MB number.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] JeckyllHavok:
Great to hear, will test that imaga asap. Is there any progress in making android flashable to NAND?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ruizit0:
here is the link for code.google to get initrd if anyone needs http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/downloads/list

im getting it now to try!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aggarath:
Unfortunately it still doesn't work for me...

I tried without a data connection in winmo, same results...

With data connection the up and down arrow blink once together but short after that the gsm connection drops.. followed after a few seconds by 'FAILED'
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] hypest:
Same here... no data connection (but voice calls and SMS work OK).

WM6.1

Radio: 1.71.09.01 (same result with 1.65.xx.xx)

operator: Wind Hellas

apn: gwap.b-online.gr

proxy: 192.168.200.10

proxy port: 9401

username: wap

pass: <empty> (have tried many more combinations of username/pass though...)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] SkywalkerPD:
First make a connection in WinMo and after that go into Android. Then de data works fine.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aggarath:
Not in my case...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] hypest:
Actually, that was what I tried first... but no luck :(

Let me be more descriptive:

- Initiated a gprs connection in WM

- Opened IEMobile and browsed to the HTC website

- Haret.exe while IEMobile is in the background

- In android: launched browser -> cannot load page...

- Launched "Modem"

- showing something like "modem deinit..."

- Connect button

- 3G icon arrows flash (both)

- 3G icon UP arrow keeps flashing now and then... (DOWN arrow never seen again flashing)

- "Connection attempt FAILED"
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ruizit0:
same problem here :|

but something strange.. if i dont make a connection in WinMo .. the modem fails

if i make a connection in WinMo .. the modem keeps on "connecting" but doenst pass from there
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] TaC:
Same problem as Hypest here. I can't get data working in any way.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aggarath:
There is also a difference in what messages the modem application displays:

Without data connection from winmo:

Modem initialization started

Modem initialization completed

Starting pppd...

Connection attempt FAILED!

Done!

With data:

PPP connection went down

Done!

After pressing connect(in both situations):

Starting pppd...

Connection attempt FAILED!

Done!

After pressing disconnect(in both situations):

Done! (this was different with one of the previous initrd.gz's)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Vilord, can you post a changes list or tell me if the new build is just to fix data? You're 3rd to most recent is the best I've used and want to stick with it until a major change is done.

The issue with Advanced Task Manager is that it's not able to get root access. Vilord's build prompts for a password even if there isn't one set. Any version but ION that I know of just let you 'su' granted that it was instantiated from the root user. That must be throwing off ATM which expects a reply and not a request to 'press enter.' Having that prompt is the ideal setup so rather than removing that, I'd like to edit the app but not sure how without the source code. Maybe SuperUser app could work too. A lot of app issues are related to this 'bug.'

I've attached JesusFreke's AppSigner for anyone interested. Signs Zip or Apk extensions

Usage:

java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 FILE.apk
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mburris:
For what its worth, this initrd.gz works just as well as the last for me (maybe better, but I havn't been testing it long)

Data Connection: Works

Caller ID: Works

Call Waiting: Works

Outgoing Calls: Works

Incoming Calls: Works

Swaping Call Waiting: Works

those are the 6 would-be "deal breakers" for me... as long as I got those Im good to go.

Thanks for the update
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] NarSan:
in this page is the file with HEro theme

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

maybe helps someone?

this build work on Kaiser, but this is only skin, so it wasn't looks great...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] vilord:
Argh!!! I can't believe I messed up the quotes... single quotes escape out arguments, double quotes don't... thought I'd tested it...

it was trying to connect with APN=$APN instead of APN=vzw3g.com (for example)

So anyone who's provider didn't care about the APN it would work fine, everyone else was screwed.

*hopefully* done with GSM edits after this, somebody test it out for me.

Usual Place...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ruizit0:

what is the latest system.img ?

so many threads so many sites errr it starts to confuse what is the most updated thing :confused:

MIC and Speaker

Hello All,

by any chance does anyone know the answer to my question? I thank you ahead of time for your assistance!!!

I am wondering does the internal mic work for apps beside making phone calls? I have tryed two program one called VoiceMemo and the other called VoiceRecorder. I have also tried SipDroid, it rings and can make calls but person on other end can not hear me and sometime I can not hear them (speakerphone) does not work through internal speaker.

Thanks again!

Christopher
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] bullseye69:
can some one try to help me with this. I have tried all the suggested roms/radio combo. but i still can't make calls out. my current setup is in my sig. thanks

i have tried the make call in wm first no luck. also tried the stable 1.1 build still ends call right away.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] TaC:
Data working soft as silk now, Vilord. Good shot on this!! :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ruizit0:
working data here to! market and google accounts works to :D

i saw in code.google something in that init "with preliminare camera code v2"

hummm closer to get camera working ? :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ruizit0:
can we use this system on kaiser ? i think im using an older system downloaded from androidforhtc.com :|
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Here's a theme I just made for dxTop in case anybody wants it. I took the Aero theme but added my own clock. You can get the app on my mediashare link I posted a couple pages back if you don't have it. You need to rename it to an APK and put in your usual SD app folder. Load dxTop and choose CustomTheme. I attached a screen of the clock face I made-- semi transparent. As I post this, I saw it on my phone and the clock is slanted. I'll fix but it's a good start I think. I'll mark this updated when I fix that.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] vilord:
mburris had some luck by making a single phone call (to his voicemail) before going into android... maybe give that a try?

ruizit0: others are using that system on kaisers... if I get confirmation that most everything is working, I'll change the description
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] bullseye69:
thanks i have tried that to. im at a loss on this. i have data/text and google sync working great but no phone calls out makes running android no good.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] schrotti007:
internet connection is working with both of my simcards with your latest initrd.gz and system.img :)

thx alot, now i will try market and all the rest :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] bullseye69:
Please if any one is willing be able to upload there android files they use that is able to make call out. so i can test on my tillt and see if it makes any difference. thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Doghtc:
No outgoing phone calls

Data: OK

Market: OK

Sync: OK

All seems to be running nice! Except the calls. Thanks Vilord!

I did a emergency call and it rings (eheh after it i hangup)

i made a 1st call in winmo, no Pin , etc....

Tried a lot of radios, but problems persist. I don't think the problem is the radio...

Ok,back to 1.1 but this last Vilord release seems the most stable and fast for me

The people that are able to make calls using this release are able to get contacts from the Sim card??
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
I posted mine but it's not up to date now with Vilord's. His new one seems to have working data. I don't have a plan so wouldn't know/care. My link is his now 3rd to most recent build with the original keylayout: Here

If you want data, try his new initrd.gz. If you want the new keylayout, just go to his repos and download the new build. This build I posted works flawlessly for calls, call waiting, sleep/suspend, etc.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
sorry for the double post-- forum locked up on me
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] deekjx:
You should try a different SIM. Borrow one and test again would be my advice.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] bullseye69:
I'm able to get my contacts off my sim card but still can't make calls
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Doghtc:
Oh sorry i meant the FDN list inside settings...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] vilord:
enatefox, do you have trouble with making calls in the latest initrd? I'd like some verification that it was working and is now broken, then I can compare them and try to fix whatever has regressed.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] vilord:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] archongtv:
Hmm does any body problems with sending sms / mms? I was wondering - does Android guess what is SMSC? Maybe that is the problem why I can't send msgs?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
vilord, hadn't tried your latest initrd.gz but I will now since you've promised us camera prelims. Your 3rd to newest is the one I've stuck with lately and the one after that dropped calls on me, killed itself/wouldn't resume enough that I reverted.

You've overwritten the versions that I'm running but I've mirrored them here and I don't know the exact date. 3rd to most recent. Working perfectly all around.

ruizit0, can't you git the source and set the locale? Or take existing localized versions and look for some language files. I'll help but let me know if anything stands out.

The issues with wifi haven't really been addressed lately. I think we're at the steps to establish tiwlan0 need to be done with different tools, right? I'm going to put in the original firmware and scripts, put bash back in and see if I can at least assign an AP. There are flags in the source that enable it in the kernel and I assume these have been set but I'm going to look that over a bit.

On a seperate note does anyone know how to skin the notification bar? I've got Gimp and time to make something look nice. I tried skinning Launcher.apk, signed it and it crashed the OS. dxTop themes are easy but don't do the status bar. Other threads talk about G1-style update.zips but we don't have that option.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] vilord:
After setting everything up on google code, i was very disappointed to discover how hard it is to use versioning in the files.

Perhaps I'll start including a complete dated zip in addition to the individual files...

fully operational

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER! finally a bundle that works near to perfection. everything is working fine except sometimes my landscape rotates the wrong way! but this is almost close to a fully operational android ... how amazing
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] rkadar1:

sorry for the double post
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
rkadar1, it rotates 'correctly' since that's the way the G1 goes. Go to settings and disable automatic rotation. Problem solved.

Hi,

could someone post the bundle so it may be downloaded? Thanks.

When I look on the code.google site it does not seem to match the time frame that the files was updated in the bundle.

Also by any chance is data connect going to be automatic in the near future? Also why do we need connect to the internet first in winmo? just wondering!

Sincerely,

Christopher

PS: keep up the great work I love Android much better then windows.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] vilord:
posted a bundle on the code.google site

Also posted an initrd-gsmTest.gz which I'd like some folks having trouble dialing out to try... it uses the old RIL from 1.1, so it *should* work the same as 1.1 did in that dept.

If it fixes it, I'll have to investigate what caused it.

I also turned on the wlan and bluetooth services, but I'm pretty sure they still don't work.

I'll be getting a bad-esn touch pro next week which I think uses the same wifi and bluetooth driver as your kaiser, so hopefully I get at least wifi working too... we'll see.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] bullseye69:
ok i have the latest bundle and i have test and data working but still no calls out. i have tried another sim card same thing. but when i dial the #225# for checking balance. it gives me invalid mmi code. also everytime i boot in it will say my network is tmobile8@ or voicestream wireless. that seems odd. going to try and get a new sim and see what happens.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] bullseye69:
just tried	initrd-gsmTest.gz and still no go on the calls out

what a week for my kaiser!

ive just started using sifu's rom, and the speed increase has given my phone a new lease of life!!

i put android on last night and it run pretty well, i can make calls and use the internet but no account signin :(

tried to get this latest one this morning but i can only download 2.4mb of it from the code.google site :eek: - im getting the shakes with excitement!!

can somebody upload it to another file host.. pleeeeeease.

p.s - AWESOME work guys!!

Modem connects now

Just wanted to report that Modem does connect now :) (seems to need the ppp settings in the Haret's txt)

well done vilord!

Browser works too, but I can't login to android market yet... ("Can't establish a reliable connection to the server")

No Google services seem to work. I guess my problem has to do with my operator's proxy.

Does anyone know if there are settings I can alter to force all internet traffic to use the proxy? Under WM, google Maps works fine (via the proxy).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Vilord, I tried your new build and it seems the same as the one I was using before. I don't have data so I'm not testing that but overall seems the same which is good since it's working just fine for me. Looks like you have an older version of ION though with this one. Dev tool's icon is from Cupcake. Did you mix and match?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] deekjx:
Don't know if you tried looking here but they have several carrier settings that may include yours.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aggarath:
My data connection is finally working! Thanks to those who deserve it!

If it stays stable like this the only things missing for me are GPS and turn-by-turn navigation to have me never return in winmo.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] vilord:
Could someone who can't dial out (disconnects immediately) please send a radio log (adb logcat -b radio) containing the failed call?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] NarSan:
when we can expected this on kaiser?

HTC Hero ROM on G1.

http://www.mobilewhack.com/t-mobile-g1-running-htcs-sense-ui/
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
adb logcat -b radio > /sdcard/logfile.txt

pull from the SD card and upload. I don't think you need adb to do that but whatever works.

NarSan, you can get Hero themes if you want (vilord has them on his repos). As far as actually running Hero w/Rosie honestly it's not all it's cracked up to be. The UI overtakes Android and is a very limited version of the OS. We should probably work to getting certain apps to port over (as has been done) and Rosie is a complicated one due to dependencies. Look through the system.img and you'll see it is very bare.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dfw2k7:
Ive seen the hero rom on the kaiser..or atleast i think i did, it was on that vilords site. Dont quote me, because as you see i have issues...lol I put that system.img on my phone just tryin different packages and it looked like the hero rom..only red it was called originalherothemedionsystem.img

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dfw2k7:
I dont know what you mean when you say this. How do i get the log file.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] NarSan:
only theme? I don't use, I will waiting for full version working on Kaiser with HTC Sense.

It this possible?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Go to Dev Tools > Terminal Emulator

in the shell, type what I entered. You can get the ">" from hitting Menu then Special Characters. That will generate a log and save it to your SD card. You can then upload that file "logfile.txt" it will create.

Vilord, can you get a list of log files of interest like that and dmesg? I'll package some scripts that users can run to get a bunch for us to look over. It will be easier to run a script. I've got ASE and can make a Python script that should be able to be added to the Apps menu with Bettercut. Let me know and I'll get working on that. Then your builds can be released with the link already.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mburris:
the previous poster beat me to it
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] deekjx:
Perhaps it can be done so that the tool is an ".apk". This way all the user need do is place it in the adroid app folder so that it is installed when they boot into android. This will create the icon for them. Less chance of having to trouble shoot their installation and short cut creation. I'm not sure how hard it would be to accomplish this as I know coding scripts is a lot simpler and to the point.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dfw2k7:
I cant get the ">" symbol I went to special characters and its not there
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
deekjx, do you know how to develop an APK? I can do Python and use Bettercut to create a shortcut to it and it can be on the desktop and/or app menu. I need to know what logs to script for and then consider it done.

dfw2k7, well played sir. Instead, you can press Shift + Left Softkey on the keyboard (not the softkey on the faceplate) and it will make a pipe "|" symbol. So do this:

adb logcat -b radio | tee /sdcard/logfile.txt
