The kernel has the driver in it or it can be loaded as a module provided the kernel supports it.

Has anyone been able to get a system.img for our phones to run on the emulator? I've got Cyanogenmod running but making the virtual device doesn't get past the logo with one of ours. Maybe some data.img tweaks will work but it would be a lot easier for me if I could boot 10+ of them at once instead of one phone.

Testing this updated file w/ system.sqsh...

So by reading the forums I have gathered that I do not need to rename the file from system.sqsh ?

I will test the linked bundle and system image tonight and post either tonight or in the morning my results.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] MiZi666:
you can do it easily with the new ASTRO FILE MANAGER, download it for free from market, open it, then go to TOOLS in menu -> Application Manager / Backup, then you can backup any installed up to your sd card.

but another question:

how can i extract backgrounds, or widgets ("Power Control") from another android build, specially from the CyanogenMod Zoom Zoom Zoom v4.0.3.1?

edit:

you must rename it to SYSTEM.SQSH, then your droid will boot.

WARNING

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday I installed with a new bundle (which is very slow to me):

JACxHeroski1.6r2a-squashfs-bundle.zip

haret.exe and my startup.txt:

#alloctest 0x2000

set RAMADDR 0x10000000

#set FBDURINGBOOT 0

set MTYPE 1553

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

set cmdline "board-htckaiser.panel_type=1 ppp.apn=internet ppp.username=none ppp.password=none pm.sleep_mode=1 mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 lcd.density=160 no_console_suspend board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt=0"

boot

The next morning I wanted to use my phone and saw a black screen. No key response anymore.

I did a soft reset. Directly after the soft reset I saw a white screen. I wanted to check if I could come into bootloader mode and pressed camera+on/off button followed by soft reset. No success, just the white screen.

I tried to do the hard reset (green and red button + soft reset). No luck.

I put the battery out of the Kaiser, put it back and turned it on. Again the white screen.

It was time to Google the internet. I red to remove SIM and SD card, put out the battery, put it back, connect device to PC and turn it on.

Again the white screen, but I heared the Android start up sounds after x seconds :confused:

The strange thing was that my SD card was out of my device :eek:

I decided to put the SD card and SIM back in my phone and start it up again.

It started with a white screen, but after a while the Linux command lines came up.

When I restart my device now, everything is back to normal. I can run into Windows again (not that I want to) and run Android as it was.

Did someone had the same experience or does someone know who it was possible that Android started without the SD card?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
All I can share is that my ROM somehow appears to have wiped HardSPL from my phone. When I boot, the down button is "stuck" until I press up in Windows. I had to put the stock ROM on to reinstall HSPL and then another ROM and all seems well now. Just out of the blue..

haret.exe does not change(unless a new version comes out), and the default.txt is the same always, the only thing you have to change when your running hero is the resolution make it 240x480

so i am finally trying android, too

i dont know but i somehow cannot use 3G

i am not a newbie but my latest WM flashing is maybe 1 y/o

may it be that my radio version cannot be used for 3G in Android?

in WM it is working

APN is set, and everything is working with voice (GSM)

my radio version is 1.65.24.36

if my radio is not good, how can i flash a radio which will work with my windows? i have some old rom flashed: 5.164.2410/M0NX / 3.X.ROMeOS.v4.1 WWE 07/31/08

my "kaiser" is an at&t tilt

conclusion

the new hero/vogue android release posted one page before is very slow :(

i think this cannot still be used , its just for testing purpose, sniff

The usual corrections (the ones enatefox posted a while ago) aren't working anymore?

Nowadays it's all about Hero builds and whatsoever. Even though the latest Jac system (1.4) is nice, I still like the default cupcake theme better, specially the icons.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
If it didn't have wifi working, then no one told me. I can fix if you tell me specifically which one. Zenulator added my wifi fixes for the system images along with bundles for jacmanxrom143, CyanogenModv4.0.3.1 and JACxHeroski1.6r2a to his Google Code site.

I haven't played with them much but I know that jacmanxrom143 has the new Donut widget for toggling wifi, sound, etc and a lot of nice improvements

I've been playing with the latest "JACxHeroski1.6r2a-squashfs-bundle.zip" with enatefox's updated Kaiser SquashFS system.sqst;

I tried it with my own data.img at first, and it was incredibly slow.

I then deleted everything, and started over, without a data.img: its MUCH faster than before. I did have a problem when I received a call, it locked the phone up.

I noticed that I didn't have to put in my APN data... is that getting autodetected now?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Can you try to run the renicer script I'm testing? I'm going to add it as a startup service soon but a few have confirmed it boosts call performance. If you don't use MMS then skip that and replace phone to have a niceness of -20 instead

#!/bin/bash
while [ 1 ]
do
renice -20 `pidof com.android.mms`
renice -19 `pidof com.android.phone`
renice -18 `pidof mediaserver`
renice 0 `pidof com.google.process.gapps`
sleep 500
done

Save that like /sdcard/renicer and run with ADB/terminal/etc. like:

sh /sdcard/renicer &

Once it's automatic you won't need to but it seems to help a bit

I'm sporting the HTC Kaiser/AT&T Tilt 8925 model. I had android run once when it was version 1.0 but haven't been able to get it to run since. I've followed all instructions found on here and on www.androidonhtc.com and none seem to address the issue that i have or allow me to get it working right. I've formatted my SD card using windows format utility to fat32. I've copied the android 1.5 files to the root of my sd card using the activesync explorer screen. I run Haret and it shows it found a Kaiser. I click run, android starts booting then crashes out with:

mmcblk0: unknown partition table

I had the same error when I tried v1.0 and did something in the default.txt to get it to work properly. I'm running HardSPL 3.29 and Dutty's Diamond Rom 5.2.1588 version 1. I have no trouble running my current OS. But I've been trying android since 1.0 and have only gotten it to run once. I've tried connecting my usb cable and establishing activesync and then running haret from my phone and without the sync and I get the same error. It seems everyone is getting Android to run on their Tilt, what am I missing?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] skola28:
Try reformatting the card in a computer (not on your phone). Do a full reformat.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Do you have one of those crappy SD cards that acts like a CD drive too? The partition(s) are not right and I'm sure another card would work. Make sure it a W95 FAT32 partition
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] shadowbranch:
My card is a 512 SanDisk Transflash card. I've got the microsd to sd card conversion chip thing that I'm using to plug it into my Acer Aspire One running Windows XP Pro. I used the windows format utility to format it to fat32. I'll try again tonight on my laptop which is dual booting ubuntu and windows. I'll try fdisk as the partitioner and mkfs as the file system formatter. See if that works better than windows format utility. I think I used linux to format it before when i got Android to work the first time. Maybe that will be the fix for me.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pjcforpres:
I have been testing out the new jacmanxrom143, and it is very nice! Great battery life, love the general theme of it, did change my wallpaper to one of my own liking.

It has a lot of the Hero/Donut I am guessing features, like pre-installed Exchange email program, WiFi toggle widget, the flip clock with weather, and so forth.

I have had it on my phone since last night around 11, so almost a full day of use, and not had any issues yet. No force closes, no slow down, just smooth and fast! I am using all the other files from the .sqsh Hero build, just replaced the system, and deleted all the data, etc from the .sqsh of course.

If anyone thinks Hero is too slow, which at times it can be, especially if you don't do anything beyond plug and play, then I would highly recommend trying out this system!

You can also run just the base Android, without the TouchFlo over top in your Hero if you so choose... don't have my phone in front of me at the moment(just got to work and had to switch to my BB), but I want to say you clear the defaults in program manager, then if you hold down the home key til the program list pops up, then hit it again, you get the choice of TouchFlo or Android Home. This speeds up the hero builds a lot, and you keep all the new toys as well, although some of the widgets only work in the TouchFlo home.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] skola28:
I don't think the xRom builds are Hero correct? But rather hero 'themed' builds....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pjcforpres:
You would be correct! I thought about making 2 posts since I was trying to keep a distinction between the 2.

It is just straight Android, with a Hero like theme, and it seems like some of the apps/widgets ported into it, mostly the ones used the most like the clock with weather info, I believe the mail app, not the widget though, and so forth.

I really, really, really like it! I never have any sort of hesitation, even straight after a waking it up. At most, I have a second pause when going to the home screen from the browser, or another heavy CPU task.

(Hero time) My stuff about here was that you can get the base Android Home, thus reducing the CPU strain of TouchFlo if you want, and keep about 99% of the Hero widgets and apps. It is instant speed boost! Not that Hero is really that slow, I felt it was as fast as WM if not faster most of the time.

sdcard io

Damn, got to get myself a class 6 microsd.

(my current one must be class 0 - no indication)

Looking at vmstat output, the phone spends most of it's time waiting for io from the sdcard when asked to do anything.

Just afraid the bus itself won't allow taking all the benefits from the faster sdcard.

Any experiences on upgrading to faster sdcards and the differences in user experience?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] natalic:
I use a Class 6 on ION and its blazing fast...The bus is a SDHC bus.

EDIT:

This is a minor update one of my previous packages (ION)

http://www.scarlet-arrow.com/builds/index.php?path=Ion/&download=Natalic_ION082709.zip

It is just a fix for the wifi...nothing more, but still useful (its small 44mb)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pjcforpres:
I have a class 2 and a class 6 card, well actually I have about 10 micro SD cards...

There is a very noticeable difference between the class 2 and the class 6. I think most people that complain their android isn't running as fast as enatefox's in the videos, and in general, are experience the sluggishness because of their SD cards. If you think about it, this is probably the most important factor, considering everything is running off the SD card, so if it is slow at data transfer, then the system will be slow.

Kinda like a weakest link in the chain type thing... you want the CPU to run out before the SD card.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pmos69:
Yup. My current vmstat output indicates that when doing anything at the phone, most of the cpu cycles are wasted waiting for io.

As a side note, and talking about improvements, you might want to take a look at this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4441957&postcount=1106
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] shadowbranch:
Ok, just as a side note to anyone reading this. Format your memory card using linux. Windows format did all kinds of weird stuff to make it a readable card. Just go with linux or mac and format it right. Then put your android files on it. It should boot fine. BTW, I checked out hero and android 1.5, if you are running hero, switch. It looks terrible! just my opinion though.

Tagging this post so it will show up quick in searches

Hopefully those tags will save someone some time getting theirs up and running.

Usually the drawback of Hero is that it runs slower, so people have to choose between looks(Hero) and speed(Android/Ion).

Hmmmm.... did you put all the files on the root of your SD? I was a little ambiguous in my instructions.

I have pretty much perfect use of Android on my phone. I have had 2 force closes so far, and those were both because I accidentally hit the wrong icon.

And that link wasn't to a Hero build, it was a straight Android build. So no sense UI, are you maybe using a Hero system.img?

Turn off splash

Backup current build -- Need to develop restore.

Intuitive user interface.

Soon there will be a beta for the public.

This is going to make it super simple to push releases and patches...I am going to have kind of a VITAL setting for updates. I am going to give control to the developers via a modified version of paFileDb. So, we will be able to track changes and more...

I guess this brings up a question will it run at its best when it is flashed straight to the phones ROM if that will ever be possible. I know there are still things that need to be worked out before it gets to that stage but I would think that someone has had to atleast look into the possiblity of running this as the native OS.

I suppose I am gonna have to find a newer card for mine as I have a feeling mine is in the bottom of the scale. I just do not get the performance from hero that enatefox does by no means. Thats a bummer too cause I really do like the Hero builds but keep reverting to Xrom builds as they are pretty slick in their own rights also.
