Firstly, I thought I had included the msm libs in the hw folder, but upon inspection I did not, thanks for pointing it out! These are included in the system.img I just uploaded.

I'll look into the vogue keymappings. I just can't stand the way it was mapped on my tilt before.

You can get this latest system.img and dzo's latest kernel from my repo:

Thanks!

Hey guys, great work with the newest sytsem.img from okibi and the zimage from dzo i had the best 1.5 experience ever. After a fresh 1.1 install and syncro all semms to work for me now in 1.5 (calls, sdcard access, sleep_mode 1, internet, market and other g apps) You two are really a great team..

edit: wow, at the first launch neocore gives me 25.4fps

I am trying to boot Android on my Vodafone uk v1615, however I found it always freezes when the progress bar is full. I tried to leave it for 15 mins, and still nothing happened.

Here is some info.

1, I tried two editions of Android, same problem.

2, The message "Go Go Go" appears sometimes, but no difference.

3, I tried a Chinese 6.5 Rom and the Shifu 07F 6.1 Rom, no difference as well.

4, My Radio is 1.71.09.01.

I just put every file from the bundle into the root of the storage card.

Any change I was supported to make?

Anyone may help?

Thank you very much.

---------------------------------------------

Fixed by use default-kaiser instead default.

I tried that cupcake build as well, its crap on my phone, actually wrecked my sd card, had to reformat it to get all that jibberish it left on there off. Someone posted about Market not downloading, I have that problem every now and again on 1.1 after a reboot it seems to take off and download, this happened while I was downloading neocore. I will be testing okibi's 1.5 today as long as the sleep mode works on the 1 value i'm good, I really don't use market all that much or gmail so I can live without that stuff.

And this whole thing trying to download these updated zImages is starting to torque me up I have tried what was said "save as" doesn't work. Any other suggestions

@aggarath,

I don't have root at all. I've even copied "su" from the latest build for Android (thanks JesusFreke) and made sure it had the permissions. Owner has been root and root with gid of 208 (regular user). How else would I spawn a root shell besides a shell?

I'm trying to initialize the wifi drivers like I could on 1.0 and 1.1 but without root access, I can't establish tiwlan0 so no go there. I've been through what I can see on the official ADP and our versions and don't see any difference with my test system.img.

Is anybody else interested in root shell for cupcake?

These are the commands, for anyone interested, that can initialize wifi (don't even ask the question...) so far:

cp /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
insmod /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko
wlan_loader -f /system/etc/wifi/Fw1251r1c.bin -e /proc/calibration -i /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini
mkdir /data/local/tmp
cd /data/local/tmp
wpa_supplicant -f -Dtiwlan0 -itiwlan0 -c/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf &
ifconfig tiwlan0 $1 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig tiwlan0 up
echo "Done: $1"

And it would probably help to include a link to the drivers:

Unfortunately I keep having big problems with the data connection in 1.5

Is there someone who knows how to fix this? I didn't upgrade from 1.1, but use the lastest okibi version from today.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] JeckyllHavok:
For The Last Time

If you want to use 1.5 and want to use data connection:

Use one of the 1.1 builds from dzo and copy the files to your SD Card.

Delete the default.txt and rename default-kaiser.txt to default.txt

Open the file using an editor on your pc and change the apn settings to your need.

Run android and put your apn Settings in the wireless Options in Settings Menu.

Connect using Togga and connect sync your Google account.

Now shutdown 1.1 and copy the zimage, system.img, and initrd from the 1.5 build (NOT THE DATA.gz)

Change the default.txt to your needs.

And launch

I'll join with the other voices here and say how much I appreciate seeing all the progress from dzo and okibi. Great work!

If one goes over to the "real" :) Android forums for G1 and Sapphire (just a joke), one can see that Chef Haykuro has been able to cook up ROMs that have extracted the HTC Hero / Rosie features that include, most importantly, support for MS Activesync / Exchange.

Now, I know that those of us who love our Kaisers are in a different domain (whinging :) about WiFi, GPS, the camera etc.) but my question is:

Is is possible to somehow extract the Activesync feature from the G1/Sapphire Android builds and somehow get it into the Kaiser build?​

I doubt that this affects the kernel. It is most likely a set of apps or libraries.

Any educated opinions on this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Ok, no luck with su here. I would love to get that at least going if anybody can help. This may sound like a noob question but can someone explain the purpose of initrd.gz in terms of the /bin folder? It contains su, whoami, cp, etc. which are not available when Android is booted. What fun can be had from modifying this file?

also, does anybody know about establishing or clearing a root password? In initrd's shadow file, the root password (encrypted) is:

$1$86IqYmF1$jKH7d6GiRLZ8MvEhXJtKE/

so can I change this or clear it out and have root?

Can someone help me with customizing initrd.gz? I ran this:

gunzip initrd.gz && cpio -i < initrd

but when I gunzip the initrd.gz the permissions are for my desktop's user. When I try to boot it gets stuck at "freeing init memory 96k and I'm sure that's a permissions thing. So do I need to chown the files to root or is there a better way to extract the initrd.gz and preserve permissions? I'm not sure if there is any way to fix or if it even matters that it fails on creating the /dev devices and can't follow the readlinks upon extraction.

Not working for me. DZO mentioned a few weeks ago (around May 25th) that he fixed the RIL to allow call waiting to work properly. If this is not in your release, can you include it?

Okibi and Dzo you guys are great. I finally got latest version of zImage downloaded had to do it through opera mini in winmo, pc wouldn't download? this version of 1.5 is great nice crisp clear images, quick and responsive. So far I have no Issues but I do do not listen to music on phone either which seems to be the biggest complaint. Web Browser is my biggest one and it works beautifully, pm.sleep_mode seems to be working correctly set at 1. Keypads seem to light up as they should. Will have to get used to the somewhat different keymapping but oh well. If I encounter any issues I will definatley let someone know, the only other thing I need now is speakerphone.

So is there a stable version?

Because with 1.1 it's impossible to call/talk and with the 1.5 OpenGL is not responding. Sometimes it says that "extracting data.gz failed" (in the linux)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dzo:
I put that there, It's "vogue". There are other ways to get a root shell, open the kbd and press fn and then the left hand soft key at the top. This gives you a console where you should be able to do anything, only problem is that all keypresses are passed to android (at least they used to be, I haven't tried recently). Alt + left soft key goes back to the ui.

Hello,

I am running the latest 1.5 that was just posted a little bit ago. I have auto-data on and wifi off when I booted into Android and looked at modem it said it was connected and showed information, so I went to the browser and it did not connect. I went back ito the modem and clicked on disconnect and it said that it was already terminated so I click on connect and it worked after that with out a issue.

I was wondering if either okike or dzo would be able to set the front keys as:

win/start button: home

center key (long press): menu

ie button: brower

ok shot close app / go back

mail: email

red / hangup: hang-up (not go sleep / turn off)

thanks for the great work that whas been done.

1.5 not working as GOOD as 1.1

I just loaded the latest 1.5 system image and initrd. When i boot into Android, it hangs at the new "Android" splash screen and can take up to 15min to load into the OS. I have to press all buttons to kinda make it boot properly. Once in, togga doesnt work because it "force"closes so i cant get INET.

Im gonna revert back to 1.1

Does anyone have any idea what could be casuing this?

Using the "ppp.enable=1" I also get the "artificial connection" where modem says connected when not. Does it matter what order it's in in the startup.txt?

Sorry if these have been asked before, just getting back into android.

Great work okibi! Much appreciated!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Pandemic187:
As previously mentioned, you need to use Modem to connect in 1.5, not Togga.

As for your boot screen hanging, well, I'm not sure about that. Never been a problem for me with any build. The first boot always takes longer than any boot after it, but even that initial boot never takes more than 2 or 3 minutes.

This is from the Vogue forums:

That's disappointing, really. I honestly would use Android exclusively, but, damn, this phone cost almost $300 unlocked, and I'm not going to forego the ability to use GPS, camera (well...actually the Kaiser's camera kinda sucks, but still), wi-fi and bluetooth just because I like Android. So, unless the integration of these features into Android ever becomes realistic, I'll have to keep using Windows Mobile at least some of the time.

@seidler2547,

I hadn't seen his post about having wifi drivers already. I was trying to do it myself with info from earlier posts. I'll try okibi's and see how that works and thanks dzo for letting me know the root password. My custom initrd's don't seem to have proper permissions so they freeze on startup so trying to set my own password was no go.

So then that leads me to... can someone tell me why this is wrong when I try to edit the initrd.gz file:

gzip -dc initrd.gz | cpio -i
find ./ | cpio -H newc -o | gzip > ../initrd.gz

The first line seems to not be preserving the permissions, I did a "ls -l" and it's all owned by my user. I even tried to chown it to root:root but no. I don't think the second line is the issue since it's already wrong upon extraction.

Specifically, the issue is that when I try to boot it again it will freeze in Haret at "freeing init memory 96k" but even without editing the initrd.gz file, just extracting and repacking it will cause this so user error (aside from those two actions) is not the issue. Has to be permissions right?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] okibi:
Here's what I do to unpack and repack initrd:

cd initrd15

The folder initrd15 contains what's inside initrd.gz after unpacking.

I hope this helps you with whatever you're trying to do!
