Hopefully that will fix my dialing problem...

because I have tried every combo of files w/ the system.img that was with your bundle last night and still have no success at making/getting calls. The Hero theme is neat and the SenseUI will be awesome one day, but I am loving this build, the speed is fantastic and everything that I want is included (except maybe the camera). However, for some reason not being able to use the phone on my phone does seem to be an issue for me :) Still amazed at the effort you guys put it. I'll keep testing as much as I can. Sometimes hard w/ you know,, life lol.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Yea, I didn't test the phone and it is crashing. There's a mix between Hero and ION apps that will work and the one I posted isn't it. I need to figure out the dependencies a little more since Launcher and Phone aren't the only things needed to make it stable.

I don't have time to fix it now but JACxROM is what I'm using now (my repost with wifi working) and everything seems to work fine. If I shut my phone down, it's only to reboot it so soft-resetting to get around that bug isn't high priority for me at the moment. Besides, when I fix the one I just put up it won't matter anyways.

Thanks for testing.

Try getting wifi to work with mmission's palm pre themed build, that would be nice.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
I'm not a big fan of the Pre look personally but I will get wifi working on that when I get a minute.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] MOUSEY:
I'm back from dinner.

Anyway I had found quite a good success with the following combination in which enatefox had compiled earlier.

Initrd: MssMison_JACxROM_Wifi_Su_enatefox.zip

zImage: MssMison_JACxROM_Wifi_Su_enatefox.zip

System: JACxROM_1.3-WIFI-system.img

Rootfs: MssMison_JACxROM_Wifi_Su_enatefox.zip

Build: ION (with Hero theme)

A few boots had rendered this bundle working nicely for me. I'm only concern when the device sleeps with the WiFi enabled.

Thanks enatefox again. Maybe you would want to check the dialer that is on the JACxROM which you compiled earlier.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
I just loaded a copy of the build before I uploaded the first one (just JACxROM) and can't get dialer to work. Goes to home screen. This does not make a good time. I'm booting the original one to check things out now
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] MOUSEY:
Thanks. Looking forward for some good news from ya. (Another sleepless night for me... Haha)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] TaC:
Guys, you should always give credits to the real devs in each file you use. In example, zimage, rootfs and initrd in those zips are from dzo, vilord and others, and you can refer to them by its original name (i.e. dzo's zimage 08/08/09).

That would be useful to others too, for taking them from its source.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] MOUSEY:
Sorry but thanks...

I'm sorry about my ignorance. Actually those file links were posted in other parts of the forum by enatefox; yet I foolishly post them here without credits given to the originators.

Nevertheless, I also wish to thank them...

THANKS TO:-

Vilord, dzo & srwalter- For initial and continuous release of newer builds and files

addisu - For getting the WiFi working

Newbie16 - For helping out on the initial WiFi work

JustAnotherCrowd (JAC) - For coming up with the JACxROM for Dream

Zenulator - For getting the JACxROM to work on Kaiser

mssmison - For the wonderful HERO Build, I'm going into that playground very soon - when WiFi starts to work

enatefox & natalic - For helping out in compiling additional builds and bundle them for newbies like me

Sorry if I had left out any other important names in this project. I'm sure there are many others who had one way or another had helped out. (i.e. Donators, Testers)

build on google code android-1.5-2009-08-08.zip

Hi,

I have had a good chance to play with this - spent about 1.5 last night playing with it and wireless worked well - then stopped working and then I could not get into the control panel for wireless or apn and had to do a force close..

The apn for t-mobile is incorrect as well - it was nice to find there but the password was strange?

I always used internet for username and internet for password - there my setting on winmo as well?

I know some use user and wap? - but the password was missing - so i fixed...

I tested it again this morning - the same issue with wireless hanging but more concerning is my phone rang and I could not answer the call - I did and there was nothing there?

On the older build i was using pre wireless I could make and receive calls with no issue?

Its nice to have wireless but it would be nicer to be able to talk ;-) please...

I have not took down any more updates yet as I can see lots going on I would like to help as I am programmer - but I am a delphi, php guy and don't do C or Java ? Sorry :-(

Thanks all

Phil

Am having the same problem with android, tried several things including the steps posted long ago by Stefan, XDA link

When I let the phone died and boot with an almost empty battery and let it charge it doesnt go above +/- 45% and then its really full. checked as confirmation with dmesg.

If I do it the otherway around and let it fully charge within windows I end up with a 100% battery in Android but battery is empty at 60% somewhere and like JeckyllHavok described it jumps towards 4 procents and shutdown the phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ajclai08:
Thats odd I'm getting almost the same power savings as winmo with the xROM 1.3...it was at 94% last night..6 hours of sleep it only went down to 89%...then after 4 hours of work it was at 85 with a little bit of usage..and i didnt even boot android at 100% battery..right now about 13 hours since 1 am it is at 83% with little usage...though when i boot back to windows it usally shows a lil less % than android.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] MOUSEY:
I'm also using the latest JACxROM here. I left the device at 100% last night and it dropped to only 91% back at WinMo now. But I did not enable data usage and Wifi when I went to bed though...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] natalic:
My phone dies in a couple hours too...LITERALLY, not just needs to be rebooted but the battery completely dies...I'm not sure what causes this...but it isn't normal for that to happen. In windows mobile it lasts me (with phone calls) a day and a half...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ajclai08:
couple of days ago..i didnt have the right sleep mode set for kaiser so the battery would last about 6-10 hours or so, anyways i feel asleep with wifi on at 99% battery..woke up about 3 1/2-4 hours later the phone was really hot and at 30%..went to windows and it was at 13%. I'm not sure if wifi shuts off when in stand-by mode like winmo, and im sure it prevents the phone from entering a full power saving mode.

lol so i recommend leaving wifi off when u go to bed :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ajclai08:
try using a default-kaiser.txt from dzo..save some time and head aches.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] natalic:
whats so diff about that...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Several of us have mentioned the power issue and that dreaded output. You can go to Terminal (any one) and press Fn + Left Softkey on the keyboard, not the face plate to get to the root console. You can see these errors about power as well as wifi messages. Get back with Fn + Right Softkey.

It's reasonable to expect this behavior on a target not designed with Android in mind. Please keep logs coming so maybe we can get it fixed. There must be a common link. I wonder if the energy to produce that much output is a battery killer too. I know that the fancy battery statuses on lock screens were removed by several devs for that reason.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ruizit0:
ok in the last bundle

that USSD is working .. i can see now the cost of the call and the time and the remaining money :D

wifi is working to!

the only 2 things is battery is draining to fast dont know why and i t hink the back of the phone is to hot ... weird

and that damn keyboard lag.. that is a pain in the ass to write a sms :\

thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ajclai08:
Power mode is working here( now reads 80% at 6:40pm..time of boot was 7am at 94%. it worked after i copied over a default.txt for the kaiser from dzo...looked at the difference and it had sleep=1 and a kaiser panel type..unlike the ones i seen in the recent packages(should of left my old one). As far as keyboard lag goes ..I only experienced it once..I think it was due to the Function key or something. Also can wifi be automatically shut off when you turn the screen off? Then auto enable once u wake up?

ruizit: I type 500+ txt messages a day so u can imagine my frustration with this lag!!! lol
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ajclai08:
not sure if its just the sleep mode=1, i coulda swore i saw someone claiming power issues even though they had sleep mode=1..but they had a vouge panel type..maybe its acting like a vouge when its set to 1..which isnt the best power savings for them...just try it i guess it worked for me.

maybe the keyboard lag is due to the lack of hardware keyboard on the ION, it seems the xROM 1.3 is a modded dream ROM that looks like ION and hero.I get no keyboard lag. So maybe it has better support for that in the system.img..but you never know i might be just trippin'

I don't OSX but the steps posted will work on Linux and probably and UNIX derived OS provided you have the dependencies.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] garringm:
These battery issues may be a combo of the panel type and the pm.sleepmode the I use the 2 option on mine forthe board-htckaiser.pael_type it works good forme with my sleep mode set to 1. If I remember correctly the panel type controls the backlights for the keypads? I could be wrong though. I can run mine hardfrom 5am till 11pm hard browsng on the web many text and I have my screen timeout set to never. The new one from enate is working beautifully awsome work and thanks to all devs involved in getting android this far.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
garringm, you mean JACxROM or the hybrid zenulator and mssmission I repacked? A few people including myself could not get the hybrid to make or receive calls. If it works for you that could help me out.

Anyone got any ideas?

edit: rang speaking clock and seem to be able to make outbound calls ?, there is still an issue though with the wifi control panel dieing with a wait/close and when my calls stopped working i had the same issue, i have an app downloaded called iamp and i did try that yesterday so i am wondering if that screwed up my calls? its a radio listener for an internet radio station so i guess it neeeds to output sound through speaker or something and when i test it it dont work. not sure if this is all related?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tembares:
I have read all messages before about power consumption.

Could it be possible that the ones who can run Android a long time versus the others where the battery dies in about 6 hours (like me) have an closed/open internet connection all the time?

In the past (long time ago ;)) when I ran Windows Mobile I had setup Activesync with the Google Exchange option to sync contacts and calendar. Battery life of the Kaiser went down also faster. I think because of the all of the time open data connection. I did not measure it, because I put my Kaiser in my active device holder (connected to the battery) in my car. The Kaiser never went down by itself because of a dead battery.

Had someone the same experience as I have/had?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] TaC:
Could it be possible to have "toggle" widgets from Hero in the Ion Build?

That's the only thing that makes me try all Hero builds (and then go back to Ion).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] MOUSEY:
shutdown, soft reset and data.img

The data.img is quite fragile AFAIK as compared to WinMo's. I'd notice that there were numerous times when I just did a soft reset on the device to go back to WinMo and my data.img got corrupted and having to be recreated again. Unlike WinMo where we can soft reset anytime as we wish, we just have to be a bit careful when handling Android. (i.e. Use the shutdown feature by holding the phone disconnect button)

Anyway I wonder if there are any remedy for this kind of scenario in terms of ROM development...

As for power consumption, I usually get a hunch when the PDA is draining up from the temperature emitted at the battery comparement itself. For instance, I had the WiFi enabled and I went and put my son to sleep. Came back around 1 hour later and the device was warm yet the battery had dropped 15% to 20% due to WiFi scanning (I was in WinMo). Since Android consistantly connects to 3G for updates/syncs and such, I'm not sure if our Kaiser hardware can actually take such a beating.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Faraz Ahmed Ikram:
power issue

well i have tried different scenarios with regards to power (always connected/disconnected, background syncing etc) but my real concern is how can the battery go from around 85 - 90% to 4% in ONE MINUTE. and also charges up to 11% or 15%. i think its a reporting issue. for the record i have a DYNAPACK KAIS160 battery which i think is standard.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] JeckyllHavok:
Yes, i think it is a reporting issue, too. But back in WiMo it shows an empty bat, too. Maybe android confuses the power control chip. Cause it seems that at least the battery thinks that it is empty. But how can this happen from 84 to 4 in some minutes?

Wifi is working for me, however currently Speedtest is showing that its slower than my 3G connection, probably just needs some parameter tweaking?

Also I seem to get the "accuracy" reading from the GPS now, when I first loaded Google Maps I was getting "your location within 70m" instead of the 3000m it usually reads.

Keep up the fantastic work everyone!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] JeckyllHavok:
sweet man, i can't await this.. is it the actual build on google code + wifi, or is it a completly new build?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] MOUSEY:
I'm quite worried about getting consistency everytime I hit the soft reset button or even shutting down normally from Android now. I was using mssmison's new build and thought of shutting it down gracefully into WinMo to boot back (using the ROM's shutdown feature) but ended up a reboot with fschk being run and having some sectors or clusters inconsistency...

Now it makes me worried. Say if I really get a good build, I install all my stuff, contacts sync and everything done nicely - would there be a more "graceful" way to switch back to WinMo and reboot Android ?

Thanks...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Mousey, shouldn't be an issue with corruption-- I've had fsck occur but nothing lost. I recommend you keep a good copy of the files in a folder on your SD to revert back like I do.

Here's the latest Hero build with my wifi finesse thrown in there. The startup sound is disabled since I hate it. I can not seem to get wallpaper to stick unless it's from the default gallery. I'll look into that. Wifi works but my work's AP is flaky so I couldn't connect yet but APs save and it initializes. I'm going to also replace the hosts file with mine from my laptop like the last build to block ads on most websites. There are issues with the build outstanding. It's not mine, it's Zenulator's so please refer them accordingly to his thread. This is running about as fast as it probably will get. I have TaskKiller and Advanced Task Manager and am used to killing background processes which is keeping it aight. Zenulator said he hasn't had TouchFlo crash yet and in the 10 minutes I've tested my repack, all seems well.

This is just the system.img. It's named TESTTHIS.img because of the changes I have yet to make. Should make it easy to tell when I update it later. Grab whatever you want from Google Code (I'm using 8-8-9 here) and delete your data.img.

enatefox, can you please test on the phone functionality of your testimage ? No doubt it can dial out and receive calls (no force close) but there is no sound from either end of the phone conversation. Disconnection from the faulty call does not work either.

Can others who are testing this new build confirm this bug as well ? Thanks.

Overall, this HERO build is great ! I would also suggest to use the latest rootfs (with swap fix) to go along with it as to cater with the performance drawbacks of HERO build with WiFi embedded.

Thanks to all the devs again ! :)

I called my voicemail and it worked but that was it. I'd recommend anyone try the original by Zenulator (I've posted the link) and confirm it's unique to my repack. Just use his system.img instead of mine with the latest from Google Code. I've put up the build but I don't use it since it's too slow. Hopefully some upcoming tweaks will enable it to run smoothly but I'm not testing it really at all. All I did was mess with the wifi-related parts to be compatible, he did the rest.
