I'm getting the ROM for WebOS now to try it out. It sounds like Android for issues and compatibility and there's no X11 server and you need to root it but the camera may work. And it runs most iPhone apps. Maybe Android and WebOS hybrid would even work since Linux boots to Android anyways.

I'll post a link to the image when I get it to boot and then you can do whatever you like with it. It's hard to find the image it seems so should save some time.

latest 1.5 user report

first a thanks to Okibi for his latest 1.5 release which I can boot, unlike earlier June releases. Great! I didn't change anything aside from the files. Earlier June releases got stuck at the Android logo.

Data connection worked fine, including market (same data image as I used for 1.1).

I could only wake the phone from sleep by sliding the keyboard out.

Later the phone went into such a profound sleep, that left me with rebooting (with the stylus) as the only option.

I also found the phone to be less responsive than the 1.1 version.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
What a pain! Download all packages, apply patch, compile, hope.

But... well... might be usable.

It uses a OMAP3 and a bunch of different specs from msms7x00 devices... but it might work.

Right now, i would find fun if another version of wlan_loader, existed. One without the given bug...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mburris:
Have I asked about Call Waiting Yet? :)

First off, (and this really goes without saying, but some things that go with out saying should be said now and then) Okibi: I can't thank you enough for all the time and effort you are putting into getting 1.5 running smoothly. I know this is a long post, but just bear (sp?) with me, I wanted to thorougally explain the situation as best I could.

Ok, I don't mean to be a pain here, but I'd really like to start contributing to the 1.5 tests, but for me, call waiting is critical to being able to use the phone for any extended period of time...

So What i'm using now is a 1.1 system build that Martin released on his repo on 2009-05-24 called "system-test.img" This is the only image i've found where call waiting works 100%.

He said "The only change is in the ril, it now only switches off the audio when there are no current calls."

So I thought just maybe if I can get the ril from the 1.1 android system.img into your 1.5 system.img I might have a change at getting the call waiting to work.

So I mounted his call-waiting enabled system.img file and extracted the libreference-ril.so file.

Then I converted your 1.5 system.img file from CramFS into Ext3, overwrote the renamed the existing libreference-ril.so to libreference-ril.so.old and copied the one from his version over, and finally, I modified my initrd.gz "init" file contents to "-t ext3" instead of "-t cramfs". This allows for much easier editing of the system.img file for me (dont have to mess with any cramfs recreation)

So it boots up and everything works just as well as the unmodified 1.5 system.img does, however there is no change in call waiting activity.

When I'm talking, and someone tries to call, the phone acts like no-one is trying to call me at all. For the caller it just rings until they go to my voicemail.

As you can see, I have somewhat decent linux command line knowledge, and am not afraid to get my hands dirty. If there is anything you could suggest, or any ideas at all you might have about getting call waiting working properly in 1.5 on our kaisers, please let me know, or give me a clue about where to go from here.

Thanks

Call Waiting Update

Ok so I also just copied the libril.so (or something spelled close to that) from the 1.1 dzo call waiting working test-system.img to your 1.5 test image.

I have two phones here so I can call voice mail on the kaiser and then call the kaiser with my other phone to test call waiting.

Android is still no notifying me that someone is trying to call, but if I bring up the in-call menu and hit "hold" it will switch to the other call. If i hit "hold" again, I can switch back to the original call.

So it seems like the only problem is android is not notifying the user that there is another call coming through.

Hope this helps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dzo:
It should be libreference-ril.so and I think all the 1.5 images have moved this into the initrd. Does my latest 1.1 not have call waiting working, lots of people have made changes to it recently for vogue but i tried it on kaiser on friday and the call waiting seemed to work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] d.bobo:
Yeah finally :D With the last version of Okibi's Android 1.5 my data connection finally works :)

Now I can start with Android 1.5, thanks Okibi and Dzo (and others) for all your hard work on this project ;)

Google Contacts

Hello All,

I first wanted to say thanks for the hard work you folks have done I love it!!

I was wondering is there a newer verision of the contact manger that comes with the phone? I ask this as google has updated its contact manger on the website and allot of things don't show up now in the manger on my phone.

Also I was wondering is there a way to be able to search contact by company name?

Thanks ahead of time.

Sincerely,

Christopher
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mburris:
Martin,

I had some time to test your latest 1.1 2009-06-18 and call waiting works.

I'll try the okibi's with a fresh data file and see if that works.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mburris:
OK i've tried Okibi's latest release and call waiting did not work.

When I transplanted the LibReferenceRIL.so from your latest 1.1 to his latest 1.5 system.img, i got "No Service"... i suspect just transplanting the refRIL.so doesn't work like that... should it?

So i have no idea why the call-waiting doesn't work in his 1.5.

So its back to 1.1 for now.

I'm trying to boot it now. I'm stuck in an endless reboot screen. There's supposed to be an EXT2 partition for apk's. I have a system.img. What do I do?

Vilord's ION with working DATA

This will get you a working Android ION Build on your Kaiser with Call waiting, full Google services, and Data Connection Working

So i took a look at the ion package that Vilord is offering for the vogue over here: Google Ion Android for the Vogue 21-June-2009

It works pretty well on the Kaiser... almost feels faster than other 1.5 builds, imho.

The only problem was the data connection wasn't working for us. So i went into the initrd and modified the setupmodem.sh file so our data connections would work properly... Hell even the google services works without having to start with a 1.1 data.img file.

So go to his post and download all the stuff / do all the stuff he says to to get it running, but instead of using the initrd.gz file he's attached, use the one I'm attaching to this post.

All credit really goes to him... all i did was some copy and pasting.

enjoy!

Known issues: when you close the keyboard, the screen will flip the opposite landscape orientation instead of returning to the portrait orientation.

Did I mention Call Waiting Works?!!

Updated:

changed initrd.gz to work with a system image (system.img) file that can be ext2, ext3, or the normal cramfs)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
So I'm going to assume your post about ION is enough to explain that I did fix the permissions and all the usual stuff. I was wondering about needing an actual EXT2 partition or if I can fake it since it's booting from Haret anyways. Files are the new ones unless they didn't exist already (missing mountd for some reason on HERO) but changed the perms to match ours. Using the rest of our stuff (zImage, etc.) but it's the partition issue I think. I just want Rosie UI..

HERO's ROM seems to be a Fisher Price Android version so I might just pull the apps from it and try to install it in our builds or ION's if I like how it works. The apps for it have to be on a EXT2 partition (the 2nd partition too) called "apps_s" but that's for the G1. Can someone help me figure out how to apply that to booting from Haret? Can I just, like in QEMU, pass something like " hdb /sdcard/ext2partition2.img"
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] radem205:

How did you try this up ? Couldn't we partition the sdcard to have a ext2?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] JeckyllHavok:
Wait a mniute I'll upload my zImage, i compiled it myself, cause i noticed that the latest change in git repo is newer than the latest zImage from dzos page. Mine is from Sunday evening

Here it is:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
I don't really know what to do. I assume I can append a second partition img to startup.txt. I could probably reformat the SD card but I don't know. What I do know is that the only reason it needs it is because HERO looks to "apps_s" on the second partition and must an EXT2. Okibi's 6-19 is giving me issues like su password. ION is giving me issues but I'll try some of those workarounds.

I have Rosie.apk and I'm trying to install it. I don't really care for HERO's ROM, just Rosie. It looks way nicer than stock Android in my opinion. There are so many issues getting it to work that I might just scrap the idea but if anyone has ideas, I'd love to hear. "Rosie can not be installed on this phone," "App X has closed unexpectedly," etc. etc.

In regards to asking for Rosie.apk, I've attached it but:

*****Too long, didn't read:

So, HTC revamped Android and made their own UI. It's a minimal Android (missing "mount" among other things). There are a lot (lot) of HTC apps that are in the ROM as well. They are all crashing horribly. There's an HTC setup wizard that I think is key to getting it to work but it also crashes. I can't get past the loading screen with HERO's and that (as I posted above) is probably the partition issue.

All the apps:

HERO Rom (extract, find System folder, cramfs it into an image but change the permissions around to match ours):

http://www.droiddeveloper.com/hrbuilds/hero-signed.zip

I of course would upload my System.img with the right perms but it's not really working too well and probably due to HTC apps that aren't supposed to run on our builds.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] JeckyllHavok:
Ok, if i'm right we need the following:

One partition on our sd Card with fat32 for system.img data.img zImage haret and default.txt

and another on in ext2 for the apps?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] radem205:
With this zimage I get the same error (mount system.img error). I have a polaris so I can't mount it manually, due to a missing physical keyboard.

Could you be so kind to give me your changed files to let it work?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
JeckyllHavok, sorry, the timing is bad here. I'm out of space on /home, XDA won't let me upload Rosie.apk, etc....

What I'm saying is that HERO's ROM works that way and that's what G1 users have done to flash it on their phones. I'd assume with Haret that we can bypass that by appending a second partition in startup.txt maybe? I just want Rosie... why does HTC make it so difficult.

Here's Rosie.apk:

@radem205

You can see the changes in the kernel on the git repo on dzos page. I personally made no changes, i just compiled it. For the missing system.img i think there is an issue with the initrd.gz i will have a look on it when i'm back home.

@entafox:

Thanks man, HTC seems to like to make things difficult, (TF3D for example)

Will hav a look into the files, maybe we can get it work step by step...

@Oki or dzo: anyone of you has take a look into the hero files?

Do you you see a realistic chance that we can make rosie work for us?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Yea, I was a fan of you TF3D standby but it (TF3D) was just too problematic to seriously consider so in WinMo I'm resorting to Manila 2D.

I would love to Rosie working but not a port of HERO since it seems like crippleware-- if we can all somehow get to the UI apps (like Rosie) then we'd be golden. Also, I believe that while it's on 1.5 Cupcake that it's actually pulling from Donut of which the source is identical at the moment until they start working on it more. That means eventually, Android 2.0

HERO does happen to have (assuming we can get this working) Flash player (don't know the version), Streetview, new widgets and the lovely looking HTC style apps you've come to know and love.

And can somebody post a bundle of ION for Vogue? I did the steps, added the updated zImage, etc. but Haret is freezing at 100%. Help stomp out user error if you would please.

@#$% my bad,

This is the result of working on something until 4:30am.

In my system I've converted the system.img file to an ext3 filesystem image, instead of using the normal cramfs.

I've uploaded an updated initrd.gz that will mount an ext2, ext3, or cramfs system image (called system.ext2, system.ext3, or system.img)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
ION is more suited for our phones but is meant for Vogue and HERO is also not for our phones but can flash to a G1 and should be somewhat compatible. I did make mods to it to make it work on Kaiser but not enough apparently. Thanks for the post though. I'm going to try it out and maybe we can get the screen flipping you said fixed too.

I'm getting JACHero Hero r1.8b now, will try to tinker and see if I can integrate some of their contributions (like sysctl tweaks) into a new build for us. I'm sticking with Okibi's 6-17 with my (the original) keymappings as that has always been good to me-- no dropped calls, etc. But the apps, he writes, will copy and internalize within Android so the apps_s folder might be a temporary thing until the image is ready. Seems like they've seperated things like Rosie enough from dependency-hell to make this work.

Improved: Android ION release for HTC Kaiser

This is my second release of the Google ION.

Credit goes to Vilord for the lion's share of the work.

Working:

Data Connection

Google Services

Call Waiting

Instructions: (adapted from Vilord's vogue post)

For some people ROM and Radio make a difference in whether or not certain aspects of the phone work. I am using Shifu's 6.1 V08 WWE Naked ROM with Radio 1.65.24.36

Before I boot haret, while still in WinMo, I always complete 1 call, so I call my voice mail, then once it connects I hang up. I'm not sure if completing a call like this actually helps, but I do it anyway.

Step 1: Download the files:

-Download ExtractToRootOfSDCard.zip below and extract *everything* to the root of your SD card

-Download system.img from below and put it in the root of your SD card

-Download zImage from below and put it in the root of your SD card

Step 2: Run it!

-Run Haret, and it should boot into android.

Reports have shown that starting over with the fresh data file (data.gz) instead of using your existing data.img produces better results

Be aware of the fact that it will take a long time to extract the data.img file from the data.gz archive during your first boot. It took about 5 minutes for me.

If you use the included data.gz/data.img file your orientation may not return to portrait mode after closing the keyboard, if this happens fix it by:

Going to Settings > Sound & Display > Under Display Settings UNCHECK "Orientation"

Download the system.img file (then put it in the root of your SD card)

Download the kernel aka zImage (then put it in the root of your SD card)

Hey guys, i made a little MortScript for QuickBooting Android:

Copy the folder from the zip archive to the root of your storagecard

Install MortScript (is in the folder)

Run install.mscr

Restart

It will ask you if you wan't to start Android or stay in Windows at every booting.

And it will rename your default.txt to startup.txt to make the start faster

Have Fun

Battery life

Ok, I have had really bad battery life since I started using okibi's 1.5 (about the last month). I might go through a complete workday one one charge, around 9 hours. I do have data on all day, in case anyone is curious.

So I decided to go back and try the battery life test from post 4183 by seidler2547 (haven't heard from him in this thread in a while). He said that he was getting around 1900 units fully charged using android 1.1.

I am getting a full charge with 3850 units using 1.5 from 6/17.

My question is has the units changed with android 1.5. My startup.txt is set to 1400. Could the reduced battery life be because of that.

If anyone knows, please drop a line. Regardless, I will be testing it out in the next few days with my startup set at 3500.

As always, Thanks to all the devs for your hard and fantastic work.

ok I switched to the rom and radio that mburris reccomended and installed the ion build he uploaded.
