Radio 1.70.18.02 works

I've been lurking around this thread since the beginning, and have quietly tried some of the earlier builds. This morning, I downloaded shadowline's zip, and gave it another shot.

I didn't have too much time to play around with it, but I can report that I did have an active data connection using radio 1.70.18.02. The 'bubble wrap' app also produced sound from the speaker. I did not test SMS or phone functions, however, I would imagine that they also work. I'll update this post when I get time to test SMS & phone functions.

Thank you to all the people working on this - the progress in the last few days is amazing.

I'm sorry if it's already been discussed but i can't find it anywhere.

How do you install the packages?

Is through the terminal the only way at this point, or is there a file explorer I'm just not seeing?

And great work Shadowline! Very excited with your release! works great!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] JeckyllHavok:
you need the apk file and then put it in the android apps folder

SOLUTION FOR HEADSETS:

So i got it working, the point is you need to plug in the headphones, before you start android. Then all audio is routed through the headphone.

I love this OS so fast in that early stage

To Install Android Apps

To Install Android Apps:

Download the .APK from anywhere (AndAppStore.com)

Create folder on SD Card called "AndroidApps"

Put all .APK files in folder and android should load them at boot up.

I believe there is also a way to install apps from android itself, but I haven't given it a shot as this way is easy and makes sense to me.

Oops, I need to update my sig. I just re-flashed to the latest Hyperdragon ROM. No longer using the Athine v3.0. In any case, I chose to flash the 1.71.???? radio and I can now make calls through the external speaker. I don't know why the 1.65.??? radio didn't work for me. I may go back to it, just to see if it somehow magically works now.

Great job to all who are working diligently on this project!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] eezak:
YEHOO I got my audio back.

I reflashed radio 1.71.09.01

removed data.img, put data.gz in root

Let android load

In call audio is back with speakerphone :)

Those that cant get no audio could try these easy steps maybe it ll give them audio.

i'm going to have to test out this new version.. man you guys work fast! I hope that we can get a dual function phone out of this.. I REALLY like Android, but the G1 just isn't what I'd like it to be at this point and I find myself simply leaving the SIM card in my Kaiser during the day and I'll randomly pop it in the G1 from time to time :(

Can someone upload this file to mediafire or something. My download is very slow and erratic from his server. I would do it but I am on my tilt right now and it is very slow and costly if I go over my limit.

The trick is to keep pausing and resuming the download.

Attention

I copied the SMS-system.img from shadowline's ZIP file.

Now I get the following message:

ATTENTION

You have lost data connection because you left your home network with data roaming turned off.

[Ok] [Turn it on]

When I click [Turn it on] I come in the 'Mobile Network settings' menu.

First option is 'Data roaming'. When I check the checkbox, I get

Attention

Allow data roaming? You my incur significant roaming charges!

[Ok] [Cancel]

Clicking Ok gives me the following message:

Sorry!

The proces com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly.

Please try again.

[Force close]

After clicking Force Close, the first Attention comes up again.

Any suggestions?

Extra info:

I can make and receive phone calls.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] astrocrep:
Have you changed the APN settings?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] chiles:
Thanks,

Android works great btw, except for a few small issues, the main ones being the screen rotates to the wrong side when the keyboard slides out, the key mapping is wrong for the symbols on the tilt, and I don't know where to log into my google account to sync my calendar, contacts, and email like outlook on winmo. BTW I haven't done a search on those issues yet. Works great. I am looking forward to the complete port. Oh yeah the last.fm app doesnt seem to want to connect. Oh well, no biggie. Last.fm just released an official app anyways, I don't that that is the official one on there but I could be wrong.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tembares:
Changed APN?

No, I only changed system.img.

Because I have a Orange SIM card with T-mobile settings (T-mobile took over Orange and Orange is roaming T-mobile) I deleted also all APN settings.

I restarted Android, but also without APN I get the Attention-messages.

Extra info:

I can make and receive phone calls.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] loserskater:
i figured out my problems with the .apk files.

I had it in a folder names "android apps" but it needs to be "androidapps" with no space.

Just in case anybody else has that problem.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ChiefOHara:
Hi guys!

I can't get a data connection. I've got a 3 Austria sim card. Just deleted the ppp username/pwd. Maybe anyone knows which settings I have to change...

But anything else looks just awesome! Great work so far!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l3it3r:
I've been playing with this for a while and all I can say is WOW.. but I can't get the connection to work :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] echofloripa:
Me too, i can call (external speaker) and receive calls, but I can't connect.

I added the user and password in the default.txt and I configured the APN accordingly with t-mobile UK.

I updated my radio to the 1.71.09.01 and V16 of PDA Corner.

I used shadowline zip file directly on my root SD card.

Well done to all!!!!!

thanks

For the people having problems with data connection:

Are you making sure you have an active connection in winmo before booting android?

And also, I'm not sure if it helps, but when i open haret, I click Listen for network connection for about 5 seconds before clicking run.

I don't know if it does anything or is even necessary, but it doesn't hurt!

Does anybody have a working camera? Not a big deal, just haven't seen it mentioned recently.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l3it3r:
Scratch that! Works great.. the upside down screen, 'locking landscape' and issues with resolution are ... eh..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l3it3r:
OK. Here's my issues so far:

Camera doesn't work

Landscape mode 'locks' open and keyboard lights stay on EDIT: Orientation Check mark was lit some how. Fixed.

Can not open IM or enter google credentials anywhere - one of the coolest features of the G1 IMO

Resolution issues are starting to get a bit annoying... is there any way to alter the resolutions?

Google Maps doesn't find location. Don't know about GPS
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] poly_poly-man:
okay, got android with repo, built it for an hour with make, and copied all the stuff (system.img, ramdisk.img as initrd.gz), and it didn't boot.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zagan:
you don't just download the andriod+cupcake kernel then copy files to the root SDcard then click on haret and then give it a run.

I think it doesn't run everytime if it can't make some files or something.

The sept version seems to work fairly good on my phone.

I have all this working

Phone

Contacts

Music

Videos

The 3D tests (work really fast too)

Camera but can't take a picture as button doesn't work.

Keyboard

Slide function works but landscape view goes to the left not right.

Some issuses I've had.

Can't charge the phone while using android

Can't change screen layout

Sound may no longer work, if you use the phone and it doesn't stop using speaker.

Can't pick out the button/use

Battery may get chewed up alot while using andriod.

Doesn't always boot up

At the moment it's probably not a OS for 24/7 use but seems it has some features I've really been wanting that are on the A1000 or symboin OS.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] shadowline:
I do not recommend using it as a Main OS. It is still unpredictable and unstable. Not to mention the battery life could use a LOT of help. But then I can't say much, as I am running windows 7 beta as my main PC OS.... :o

It took me a while to get the data connection running in the sms-enabled image, but it works now...

Tried with T-mobile NL APN username and password in the default.txt, but this caused the g icon to disappear as soon as I tried to connect with Togga. The trick for me in the end was to set username and password in the default.txt back to internet (for both)..

SMS is working smoothly next to data now!

All others with data-connection issues can try to play around with this...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] echofloripa:
With which APN it worked? Someone in UK that has got it working with shadowline zip?

I just tried internet/internet but I still get the same thing, a '?' between the signal icon and the time, and when I go to settings->wireless controls->mobiles networks->network operators I get a "Error while searching for networks" and select automatically stays "registering automatically" for ever.

Until a "Sorry the application Loopt (process com.loopt) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again)". This error occurs randomly also.

In access point names I have (I changed this from cingular):

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

name: tmobile

apn: general.t-mobile.uk

proxy: not set

port: not set:

username=user

password: user

Server: not set

mms [proxy: wireless.cingular.com (i don't need mms now)

mcc: 310

mnc:410

apt type: not set

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

The user and password above is the same one in the default.txt???

And another thing, I slept with android on with the baterry on charging), baterry on half on windows before i got to android, and when I woke up, I switch to windows and the baterry was full!!

Maybe this is because I left on windows charging before I switched to android....

Thanks to all that enabled this!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ChiefOHara:
Hi!

I tried the things KeizerBAAS mentioned two posts above and finaly the connection works!

Great work so far guys!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] poly_poly-man:
the whole point is that I'm trying to play with the source to fix issues such as the flipped orientation... I know how to do it the binary way, and it works pretty well on my phone.

I've been building kernels for the last several fixes...

I just want a system.img with the fixes that I try out...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] shadowline:
It is on my laptop, and my second OS on the PC. I cant make a full switch because of PDA drivers, and the Russian roulette when it comes to gaming. lol

I have to use it when I mess with android's guts too.

But I do love that new taskbar/superbar!

Anyway back on topic,

The .zip that was attached is just a collection of the newest files, and a hybrid data.img with the settings already in it.

And poly, have you tried just taking apart a current system.img to see what it is like?

The commands in linux would be something along the lines of making a new directory in your /media/system

then do this command in the terminal (assuming the file is on your desktop)

mount -o loop ~/Desktop/system.img /media/system

to mount it like a drive and

umount /media/system.img to unmount the file for use

Works on the data.img too
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l3it3r:
My works-every-time method to get the inet connection is that I hit the Internet Explorer key, wait for the screen to open, then I start Haret, press listen for connection for a few seconds then hit run. Once Android loads, I enable Togga. Works the first time everytime.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Epicardium:
Got my calling to work!

i am among those who can't get the phone to work except with radio 1.71.09.01, and even then it only works through external speaker. Anyhow, I had a notion, based on how we get the data connection to work.

I have confirmed and re-confirmed that if I boot Haret while having an active phone call in winmo (i just call my voicemail), then my calling works perfectly in Android! I have done this with radio 1.70.19.09, and have not tested other radios. I will leave it up to others to try this with different radios.

On a related note, I performed a call clarity test while making a long drive through some coutryside. Speaking on Android, the caller on the other end said my voice was much clearer and more natural than when I spoke on winmo. According to them, I sounded like I was in a tunnel when speaking on winmo.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l3it3r:
I'll try that right now! I had to flash to 1.70.19.09 to get the external speaker, but I'll see if calling voicemail then opening haret will make a big difference.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l3it3r:
OK... so now by doing that ALL sounds come from the internal speaker... which I guess isn't a HUGE problem aside from actually HEARING your alerts if you're more than 5 feet from the phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l3it3r:
Spare Parts. The setting seems to reverse itself from time to time.. So sometimes checked works, others unchecked works. :confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] razor1394:
I got the 20090123 image from Shadowline and the touch screen works fairly good. To me however it feels that this phone is really made for Windows. The raised edges makes it more difficult to use the touchscreen properly with Android. The screen resolution is not optimal and the buttons are really confusing for someone who has been away from a winmo phone for a long time in favor for G1.

So far this is what does work and what doesn't for me

works:

touchscreen

sound

placing calls

receiving calls

time

on screen keyboard

physical keyboard

does not work

battery status (question mark on the task bar and it says charging in settings)

vibration

bluetooth (same problem I had with cupcake on the G1)

wifi

data connection (3g/gsm) :(

correct orientation in landscape mode (It's turned to the opposite direction).

I have not tried sms or mms because I never use those. I only use gmail. So I hope someone can at least tell me how to get data with Tre (Hi3g access sweden / Hutchison) up and running. I have the same apn settings as I have on my G1 but these are not working here. I have removed the ppp part from the default.txt. On my network user and pass are not needed, only apn adress (data.tre.se) and port (110). gps is active in settings but I don't know if it works cause google maps needs data connection. I can live without bluetooth and wifi but I really need data connection. GPS could be nice to have as well in case I get lost.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Epicardium:

Attention people who are having problem connecting to internet:

I had this problem and it took me a long time to figure it out. This is what you need to do.

Before running haret, run internet explorer and then connect to google once google page is shown, then run haret. Before clicking on the run button, click on "Listen for network connection" FIRST. Make sure it show listening for connection... at the bottom of the screen. Wait for couple of seconds, THEN click on run. When Android is up, go to toggle and click on connect and voila... now you have connected to www. Enjoy
