The only updates I know of are over-the-air so you shouldn't be expecting them on your phone any time soon. Unless I'm wrong but I think Cyanogen would have gone that route too. Also, our system images are read only which is more reason why a symlink would be useful since it can just point to the closed apps we have acquired from the Hero phones that we all have laying around.

All that's left is the Camera, Bluetooth, and installing Android on the main memory. So what's the progress of this?

BTW dasilva333, thanks for RSS feed. Wish there was more info on the progress of the Android port.

I tried download this link, but was 404 not found.

it seems other many files also diappered. did google this? or just a server problem??

can someone upload mirror or something?

thanks

I confirm that this file doesn't exist. You can see which files are there opening this link:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] j101399j:
Just an FYI; and hope this helps anyone interested.

Since GOOGLE is making it so we do not get g-mail and market (I don't care about the other apps) on new builds; I realized I have no way of installing apps from the SD card, and no way to upload my contacts (thanks to no USB syncability yet and no g-mail). However I found a workaround if anyone is interested.

1st disable the "only install market apps" block (Menu --> Settings --> Applications --> check "Unknown Sources") This will allow you to install non market apps. Now all you need to do is download the app from either andappstore.com or slideme.com (the second requires you to sign up, and then they e-mail you the password).

Then to get your contacts, 1st you have to have them loaded in outlook; export them to a VCS file. Then download "Import contacts app" from andappstore.com; once downloaded, it will open and ask to be installed. Then when you run it, it will upload your contacts from your sd card. Also andappstore offers "OI File manager" which will let you have file access to your device and sd card. So if you load apps to your SD card, you will be able to find and install them
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] j101399j:
Something weird and I'm sure this has been addressed; I just don't understand "Google logic". Google wants the cooks to stop including google's preparatory apps? Then why do they offer them for free when you visit Mobile Google? That makes them available for WM; does this not work on Android? Or without market, are you unable to d.l. them?

Just something odd; I know, the whole thing makes no since

So for anyone interested you can get the "preparatory apps" for FREE from Mobile Google?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
You can get AppInstaller for free too and install from your SD card or use ADB to batch install. You can get SAM from SlideMe which is their own market and there's no signing up needed. AndAppStore might have one or I think they're coming up with one. And AndExplorer is my favorite file browser
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] j101399j:
Please excuse my noobness on this; but where can I get the Android Debug Bridge for kaiser devices?

I found it for Android devices here: http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f4/how-to-install-apps-using-adb-4482/

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] j101399j:
Thank you VERY, VERY much; Wierd, I searched every way on XDA in this thread I could before I asked, and could not find it.

[EDIT] I did find that, but I missed the bottom part, will try when I get home

"Then with the Android SDK there is the adb tool that you connect with. Plug the phone in, open adb and you should be good."

I guess it helps to read the entire post.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
You can't just disable it in Settings? If you know how to edit a system image, just delete the file.

system.sqsh using squashfs-tools 3.1: [x86; x64]

Does anyone have a link for mssmisonpackage.zip as it 404's off the site, or know of a better build I should be using?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] j101399j:
I think they all were deleted (rogers.zip, Google-Ion-2009-09-12.zip , missmisonpackage-0911.zip and mssmisonpackage.zip) becasue they have the "Google's Proprietary Apps" on them
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ledbythereaper:
Ah right, it's just the only 1.5 that you can download doesn't seem to have the default.txt, neither do the latest base files :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] j101399j:
I saw that, I am going to be "good" and load the new "system-dont-be-evil.sqsh"; I am sure someone has updated the default.txt file somewhere on this thread. Also attached is my default.txt (AT&T tilt)

Also so I don't loose my current working settings, I found this:

If I am reading it correctly; when I go to install a new version, I will copy/move the current system.img/system.sqsh file, data.img and default.txt (always a good idea) to a new folder. Then replace the old system.img/system.sqsh with the new one and and delete data.img on the root, since it is created automatically; Am I missing anything?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
system and data go together like bread and butter. if you copy/move a set you can always restore later. if you mix them, data will cache settings and applications so if a modded or updated app is in a newer system than your data, you might be stuck with the old one or incompatible settings might make things get weird.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ledbythereaper:
Okay, I put everything needed into the root of my FAT32 formatted SD card, it boots linux then tells me that rootfs.img isnt there.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] okibi:
Ok, so I come back (again) to xda looking to see what the other devs are doing here for android... and I'm a little shocked.

Where is all the development actually taking place? There doesn't seem to be many updates here, and the builds are gone on google code (because of the c & d letter I guess).

I'm wanting to help out here again and maybe merge my changes into what's going on here.

Also, I have a project system separate that I'm using for my builds of android on Kaiser, Hermes, and iPhone. If anyone's interested, let me know.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
okibi, I'm still working but things are stagnating. There are issues with Donut that caused some breakage. I saw dzo commited to git a few hours ago. Let me know what you're working with.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] j101399j:
Make sure you 1st download the basefiles, that file is in the most recent zip file. Remember you need:

I.HaRET (haret.exe)

II.The latest Android kernel (zImage)

III.The latest initrd (initrd.gz)

IV.A boot script (default.txt)

V.Root filesystem (rootfs.img)

VI.The Android OS files (system.img/system.sqsh)

a.data.img is created automatically - there is no need for a data.gz file!

VII.Build configuration files (user.conf files)

As a side note, I just tried the new system-dont-be-evil.sqsh file and I could not make calls, I could not add an e-mail and I could not access data settings. WIll try again later... ANyone else get the new system-dont-be-evil.sqsh to work?

It seems like the Kaiser uses the TI WL125 WiFi chipset.

What driver do you use in Linux to get it working?

Rubberducky

The official wlan driver from android git, which is compiled for our kernel.

location of apps

I am sure this has been asked, but I searched and searched and can't find the answer. Where on the phone (kaiser w/ 1.5 cupcake) are the downloaded and installed apps stored? I have a folder of the ones I have from andappstore and slideme; but...

For example I have a folder on my SD card for all of the W.M. apps I use; that way when I hard reset, I don't have to re-find/download everything.

From what I have read so far; I just need to pull this via ADB
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
They go from /sdcard/AndroidApps/ to /data/apps/ at boot. Just put them in data if you want them installed or use terminal to batch them all like:

adb install app1.apk

adb install appn.apk

for n amount of apps
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] j101399j:
Cool, thank you very much. I also found a program called astro file manager, it copies all my apk files to a folder on the sd card; but it will not copy protected apps. But your method is exactly what I needed.

[edit]

Wierd, I don't have the "/sdcard/AndroidApps/" folder when in WM; and when I ran Android, the "data/apps/" is empty. Oh fell, since astro worked perfectly, I'm good.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
if you had that folder it would copy them. in Windows it's called Storage Card.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dasilva333:

Battery issues

Hey, guys!

I'm using android on my TyTn II from AT&T on T-Mobile USA for a while. I can say everything works well(sometimes). I have some problems when making calls(the other party hears Nothing), a reboot (sometimes) fixes the problem. The main issue overall is the battery life. It lasts for about 5hours, which is 3 times less than when running WM. Can you please share your battery life when running android to see if that's normal.

Can someone with access to GC change the init script to read "Donut detected" instead of Dount?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] poly_poly-man:
I think the issue is not with battery life, but with the calibration on the chip...

Fully charge your device in android (until the charging symbol goes away. Unplug and restart. Notice how (for me at least), windows is at "critical battery, will shut down now". Boot once again into android and it, too, is at critical battery. The only solution, it seems, is to charge with the device off, then boot into android without the charger.
