How do you guys enter dashes or the "|" symbol in the console?

When ever I try something like ls -al , I get "no such file or directory". It doesn't process the dahses correctly...

As for the "|" symbol it's not even on the keyboard...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] seidler2547:
Dashes are fine here. The built-in ls may not know all the common options, though.

\ and | you can get via the left softkey (above R/T). Took me while to figure out, too.

Thank you all for your hard work, as soon as I have got some more time on my hands I will try to contribute to the development.

There's just one problem which I'm not clear about;

I can't sign in to my google account, it times out during sign in.

I read somewhere that google market doesn't work via a proxy.

- Does this mean that google account signin also doesn't work via proxy?

- Will AndroidMarket ever work?

Also

- How to sync my outlook contacts etc... ?

I'm using a 1.71 radio and the latest zImage from gigatron and the 01-03 build (03/01).

Also after connecting with Togga I'm not getting a 3G icon.

Sorry if I am asking n00b questions but I've read about 300 pages of this topic and the wiki, used the search but can't find the answers.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] seidler2547:
No need to read all the posts here, just go to www.androidonhtc.com and read the FAQ there.

First get your data working as it should, then try logon, then market.

How to import your Outlook to Google: go to Google Mail and click Help ;)

Anyone have trouble with the time/time zone?

I can set the correct timezone for my area (-4hrs) and set the correct time, but after a reboot into android, I loose the correct time.

After every android boot, the time is 4 hrs behind.

no partition found on sd card

For those who are having the "no partition found on sd card" error at boot up, i finally got mine working.

I had to use gparted live cd to make another FAT32 partition on my sd card. You'll have to have an sd card reader in order for gparted to recognize your sd card. so now I have two fat32 partitions on my sd card with all the android stuff on one partition and it boots fine.

I edited that in default.txt and in the APN settings, still no luck.

I can still browse so there is the connection from the setting in default.txt

google maps also works (probably uses the settings from default.txt)

irc crashes when I try to connect to a server (which I checked, it is online).

Trying to sign in to google services still times out.

@dzo

Seems the usb driver got more stable after your commit today.

I could play around with IP forwarding:

On the phone:

route add default gw 192.168.2.2

and on my laptop (with root):

iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.2.0/24
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT

Sadly busybox doesn't have a DNS resolver, but I could ping boxes on my LAN and on the Internet with their IP addresses.

(I checked before that PPP was disconnected.)

I could even open the Android browser and open the Google homepage, but after this I got disconnect from the phone.

The driver seems to get unstable if you try to transfer lots of data.

Figuring it out

Ok... so I figured out the problem that I was having yesterday. I didn't change anything in my default.txt... but for some reason it didn't like the setting in the default.txt file that says:

So I commented it out and uncommented the line that says:

That fixed that issue. My next question is as follows. The system doesn't recognize my apn settings in my default.txt file. Here is the copy/paste from my default.txt file:

Based off of my rummaging through this gigantic thread, this is what I have been able to find. When the system boots... I go to APN settings, and there is an Android APN and a Tekilia (or something similar) APN. I have to manually delete those and then create the APN manually. Is the system supposed to automatically create the APN for me based off of the settings in my default.txt file? Or is me creating it manually something that we should expect?

Also, I noticed the friggin funny demo of Latitude. I freaked me out a little, but then a remember someone saying that it was a demo. When can we expect that Google latitude will be working?

I am totally excited that my phone now has my Google calendar and that my contacts from my phone will now all be stored online with Google. This is exciting. I wanted to take a second to say thanks to all of you who have been working on this. It is a cool OS for my Kaiser. I admire your faithfulness in developing something that we all can use.

So, as an update, here are the files that I am running on and that are working for me. I took the experimental build from 3/12/09 and put them on my newly formatted SD card. Then I replaced the zImage file with the zImage from gigatron dated 4/8/09 in the AM. Once I booted, I had to delete the two default APN's and then add my own. At that point, everything worked great. I can make phone calls, get my contacts and calendar action. I can use google maps. So far so good. I will post back with issue, as I run into them.

Thanks to all!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] SharpieMarker:
Even after changing the settings in your default.txt you still have to go through the process of manually creating a new APN.

So i decided ill rebot back into andriod , no biggie, but when i did it load to the little andriod guy, but would not make any progress after, it just kept repeating.

Hi. I'm having a strange problem with this Android thing. I've downloaded the newest (?) build of Android from http://www.androidonhtc.com/kaiser/latest_builds -page (Build: 1.1-01-03-09)

Anyway i downloaded that and placed all the files in the root of my storage card. I ran the haret.exe and the device boots correctly i think.

Then comes the black screen with penguin and a lot of text (i don't know the name for that :P). Everything goes fine, until it says something like this:

can't open '/system/block/mmcblk0/mmcblk0p2/size': No such
file or directory
losetup : No such file or directory
Failed
Failed to find system.img on SD Card
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

I just don't get it.. There sure is a system.img in the root of the SD card. And btw. i'm not 100% sure about that text in the code.. Font is so small that i'm not sure if o = o or 0 etc.

Hope you understood that all. :D I'm not so good in english..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aggarath:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Pandemic187:
I'm referring to setting my notification ringtone in settings. Every time I try to do that, the application crashes. And this has happened with all of the kernels I've tried since April 7th. It sucks because as a result I don't have a notification ringtone at all, and I find myself obsessively waking my phone up to see if I have any new text messages. It's really not a good thing, so I'm back to WinMo for now.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] roadhead:
With android sometimes you have to "clear the pipes" so to speak.

Delete the data.img, copy the latest data.gz and initrd.gz you can find along with the zImage of the day.

You will have to re-enter your APN and google sign-in info, but all your contacts and everything are backed-up to your gmail account, so they will come back on their own.

I have two Kaiser's running Android and we've both had the "crash on click" for changing the ringtone/notification, and this was the fix both times :)

hi what about progres in porting to the Kaiser the latest build is from march anybody know's something about this
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] h0mer:
I have thought this problem and ended up with this suggestion; Is it possible, that the text in the code -tags "mmcblk0/mmcblk0

p2

" means memory cards partition 2??

If so, how can i fix this problem? I have no instructions or anything about making another partition to memory card.. And i've thought that this build should work with just one partition too..

Any ideas?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Niscandia:
Right now that would come from the init script.

And /sys/block/mmcblk0/mmcblk0p2 would be the SD Card partition 2.

My suggestion is that since you got to the point, you can use the shell for some troubleshooting. So to begin with you might try (using the Kaiser's keyboard to type... and sorry I don't know how to get it to go landscape for this...) checking this:

cd /sdcard
ls

See if you can see system.img in the listing that that produces. Or even if you can change to that directory and it has items.

If there is nothing there, and you have items on your SDcard (which I'm pretty sure you do) It means that Linux was unable to mount the mmcblk0p1 (memory card partition 1). And you might try formatting your SDcard to fat32.

If there is items there, your system.img might be damaged. So might try deleting and copying a new one.

Other then that, not sure what other steps you can take.

---------

So you know the:

can't open '/system/block/mmcblk0/mmcblk0p2/size': No such
file or directory

Is fine, just saying it can't find partition 2.

As for the:

losetup : No such file or directory
Failed
Failed to find system.img on SD Card

This is basically saying it can't find /sdcard/system.img

So finding out if it is a mounting problem, missing file, or bad file is the only thing I can think of. I can think of only one more problem and that is a corrupt initrd.gz file. So if nothing else works, download a new copy of that file and replace it as well.

-------

On a slightly different topic, sorry I haven't updated everyone on the initrd.gz I've been working on. Wanted to test it out to make sure it was stable. I've changed out the > to -ge, and it seems happy. I also changed out the mount lines to not include -t ext3. They no longer specify the file system. This seems to be working well.

If you want to use cramfs or yaffs2 you can. But here is the problem it doesn't check to see if they are fat32... and will mount them... I have no clue how that could mess with the security of Android... My best guess would be close to running Linux with root all the time....

Another day of testing, and I'll post the new initrd.gz that I've modified for testing.

I tried making images of both Android's master branch and 1.5 sdk. They boot on the emulator, but get stucked on the bootlogo on the phones. Dzo hinted it may be because of the different kernel version (emulator & g1 use 2.6.27, we are using 2.6.25). So far it makes sense to me, as 1.1 images keep booting fine following the same procedure I did with the rest of them. Also tried upgrading our working kernel to 2.6.27 but there are too many inconsistencies and differences, and patches don't apply the way they should, so no easy fix for now I guess... unless someone with more knowledge than mine gets it to work (wich shouldn't be hard btw ;))

PS: About the ril code, what you can do is use older images' ril libraries with newer images...
