anyone know how to get wifi working on the newest zen-hero build? also all my txt messages give a send error whether they send or not
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
roadhead, which bundle are you using?

ibanezbass at the top of the previous page, I linked my repack of the latest Hero build to have wifi for our phones. The text issue is a known issue but you should tell Zenulator or check his thread about anything not wifi-related.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pmcnano:
@enatefox, I used your testthis.img and wifi doesnt work!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ibanezbass:
Use the wifi-zimage from code.google
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Faraz Ahmed Ikram:
well i guess ur right. i just hope that it runs well when i replace my batt. its starting to act up even in windows. restarts on 60% and doesnt turn on for a while.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Razva:
Hi folks,

This is my first reply in this thread. Android is really awsome! My single problem is that...I don't have any tones to set.

The phone "rings" and has notification "beeps" for errors, but I can't set any other ringtones or set an audio notification for new e-mails (which sucks because I really need that).

Do you have any ideas how to fix that? I'm using build "android-1.5-2009-08-08.zip" (08/08/09).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Mikulec:
U need to unzip the sources file to root of your sd(that should create a folder called MEDIA), then reboot the android and then in settings/sounds u can choose ringtones.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Razva:
I suppose you are talking about "resources.zip"? I've uncompressed it on the root of the SD, rebooting right now.

Later edit: yes, it fixed the problem, I suppose the resources.zip file can be deleted from the SD?

Another problem is the battery indicator. Windows tells me that I have 31% left, Android tells me that the battery is full. How can I fix this? I suppose that Windows tells the right amount?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] MOUSEY:
I had managed to overcome the "deaf phone call" problem on my device. I just initiated a phone call to another phone after booting up Android. After that, the calls receiving works flawlessly.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] SkywalkerPD:
Problem booting hero

I've downloaded the zen-hero-090809.zip package from the google code page. Copied all files to my kaiser, editted my startup.txt deleted my old data.img and run haret.

The hero logo comes up, after that the HTC logo appears. This stays a while and then the phone resets and the hero logo comes back again. The phone keeps repeating this loop.

Are there more people with this problem?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] MiZi666:
try edit your default.txt..

mddi.width=320

mddi.height=480

lcd.density=160

now it should bood
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Razva:
This means that you can install Sense UI on Kaiser?! If so WOOWEE!!!

Later edit: no, it's not running. It stops at some "Input Driver" cmd line...

This is fixed by copying kaiserWifizImage to the SD root and uploading default-kaiser.txt (than renaming it to default.txt). Still, I have the same issue as SkywalkerPD has, rebooting over and over.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] SkywalkerPD:

Any luck? I'm trying to do the same thing...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] SkywalkerPD:
I get passed the htc logo now, but when setting the time it reboots again, so I got a little bit further.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Those issues with Hero sound like problems with your ROM or maybe radio. I use AthineOS ROM if you want to try another one. This is stuff that's been posted and solved on the thread before and that's usually the culprit. You need the proper resolution that was posted and you need to make sure you use a clean setup (don't even think about using an old data.img...) as well. It works fine for me. Try using the system.img from the bundle but everything else from 8-8-9 (or whatever is the latest).

android-1.5-2009-08-08.zip

As long as I don't ever use WiFi though I don't seem to need to use the Modem app to dial-up my PPP connection manually every so often.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tembares:
Try this:

works like a charm but I am still using the hybrid android enate posted a couple days ago. The overclocking commands started causing problems many builds ago, the APN is automatic, taking out the sd card frequency stuff(i think) hasnt caused any problems at all, and I cant see what good changing the lcd density does for me so I just leave all those bits out. I fiqured less is more in this case don't know what happened to all my stuff at the start oof my startup.txt but it works without all that other stuff so I just left it out as well. This was part of a build that I downloaded.

I have problems dialing out and activating WIFI on the zen-hero-090809.zip build so far... but trying different zImage and stuff to see if it works...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] cijoml:
Hi, I am off the Internet for 2 weeks (thanks god for vacations) but you can do it yourself I simply used opie angstrom images nothink else. Touchscreen was working, but not nicely :( BTW I hardly belive that we should focus to tune drivers to be able run OPIE and GPE on Kaiser. Than we will have real PDA.

Any progress in GSM calls? There is no 3G in Czech republic :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dcordes:
can you point me to where you got it? url? or did you build manually?

can you give me the _exact_ rootfs file you did use?

Kernel Compilation Problems

I'm having 2 problems when compiling, but I think one is a non-issue.

First, when I go to checkout the htc-msm, I get:

git checkout: branch htc-msm already exists

I'm assuming this is a non-issue and just means that I have that branch checked out already.

The second issue is when I try to "make htckaiser_defconfig ARCH=arm", I get

***

*** Can't find default configuration "arch/arm/configs/htckaiser_defconfig"!

***

make[1]: *** [htckaiser_defconfig] Error 1

make: *** [htckaiser_defconfig] Error 2

this file doesn't exist, so should I just do "make defconfig ARCH=arm" instead?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kapollo:
Hi,

first of all be sure that you run the command in the android-kernel/kernel directory, if this wont help try doing it as a root (su or sudo whatever)

I had that problem just little over an hour ago but I forgot what helped :/

EDIT:

Try also using ARCH=arm in front of the make command like

ARCH=arm make htckaiser_defconfig

I don't remember if this has any impact, but still wont hurt to try

EDIT (again) just a thing to mention if you have a fresh install of Linux be sure to have the libc6-dev package (debian ubuntu and so on), apart of all others dev tools and libs but this popped up in my case even tough I compiled software earlier...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] herriojr:
Fix Bug in Checkout Tutorial

So, apparently to check out the right branch, I needed to instead just do:

git checkout htc-msm

instead of

git checkout -b htc-msm origin/htc-msm

Could we correct this at the head of this thread?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kapollo:
hmm,

I did the git checkout -b htc-msm origin/htc-msm and it went all right for me

Could someone tell me what is the key combination to get out of the insert mode from the vi editor in the angstrom console image.

I'm tired if sliding my finger around the keys in hopes of randomly triggering the ESC seq or whatever exits vi insertion mode :/
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dwaradzyn:
Yes, it gets stuck with white uderscore, but in top left corner. I tried several images (universal, magician, hx4700, h4000). They all behave very similar: one uderscore character or blank screen and hang up.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] cijoml:
Try this one - it works randomly

http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/MitacMioA701
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] echofloripa:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dcordes:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] cijoml:
Sorry it is not about Android, it is about linux kernel and all graphical environments depends on it. So talking about OPIE support is legitimate.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dcordes:
that's right. if he wants to have an angstrom topic, fine let him go make one himself.

I still don't find where you got the opie rootfs from, which you say works with kaiser. I'd like to ask you again to please provide a _direct_ link to the root filesystem file. I am highly interested in it because it might give us some clues on how to make the touchscreen work in openmoko.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kapollo:
eeeasyyyyyy

Your getting wrong conclusions, I'm not in any way interested in OPIE development (at least yet), I was asking because I'm (as cijoml pointed it out) after kernel not GUI, and the OPIE image that is located HERE has the easiest way to get the console - it boots to it, so please think before you sling the mud at somebody.

Thanks for the reply, yeah the right one would be good, but also the folder key (the right arrow + Fn) I doesn't have to be an easy accessible key since it's rarely used but still... s* happens :P

sorry mate, I was using the angstrom.bin (console only) image that hides under the link above, it's the same thing as in http://linuxtogo.org/~lgorris/kaiser-bootkit/

I bit of misunderstanding here I think, no GUI in it as far as I see it.

barry provided a new 2.6.25 based that has powermanagement. It allows you to turn the screen on and off. Just rename it to zImage and replace the old one, or specify the the name in default.txt

press the powerbutton and then turn off screen in android.

The code is not yet in the htc-msm git repository. We're negotiating how to put the 2.6.25 tree, but it will likely get an own branch (htc-msm-2.6.25)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
edmondt, wifi is not working on that as it's made for a different phone. I've posted my repack of the system.img to work for Kaiser. I don't have access to the Google Code page so it's been uploaded without my mod. Just replace that file with mine and you're good to go. I've used 8-8-9 files with my system.img personally and dialing works for me. Some have had to make a call first to receive them though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] MOUSEY:
HERO with WiFi build

enatefox, I had been using your build since last night and it seems that this would be one of the more acceptable HERO build with WiFi functionality thus far. (Performance is also acceptable - at least for me)

Here are the files that I had used:-

Initrd: initrd.gz (from http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/downloads/list)

zImage: zImage-kaiserwifi (http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/downloads/list)

System: TESTTHIS.img (from enatefox's link)

Rootfs: rootfs-swapfix-09-08-2009.zip (http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/downloads/list)

*Rename them accordingly*

Some tips to get this up and running:-

1) Do not use the data.gz that is inside the google code site. Instead, let the kernel generate a new one for you

2) After you had booted the 1st time and seeing the initial screen, answer the wizard and you need to reboot again (hold the disconnect button and choose shutdown) to ensure stability

3) Make a call and get it connected and then disconnected again (I need this step to enable this build to receive calls)

*SMS notification is not functioning properly though. You'd get a message that the SMS were not sent but it actually does.

*If you boot up using HARET and half way booting, there are lots of messages scrolling up NONSTOP on the screen, reset your device, go back WinMo and delete the data.img and swap file. Restart HARET again

*I am suspecting data corruption on my SD Card upon soft reset or shutdown from Android and reboot. I cant say that whatever I am getting here would be the same as what you are about to embark into

*Some other parts of the build had not been tested thoroughly as well

Thanks again to all the devs (vilord, dzo, srwalter, addisu, mssmison) who developed, uploaded and maintained the google code site. Thanks also to zenulator and enatefox for the Hero/Wifi compilation

vilord and zenulator: I would like to ask - would it be possible to unmount the SDCard gracefully using scripts upon shutdown ? Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ibanezbass:
hmm i dont understand why ur having these problems... ive never had a problem with my data.img being corrupted.. perhaps ur micro sd has problems?

@ljinsane: theres no reason to hammer on every person that asks a question even if its already been answered. help if you can. and to answer his question:

@Razva: its probably best jsut to charge your battery with your phone off so when you start it into wimo it shows 100%, then boot android and it will also show 99-100%, your battery should be fairly accurate after that as long as youre in android.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] MOUSEY:
Strange enough, I always get data file inconsistency and requires repair (by fsck) upon reboot back from WinMo to Android. Unsure if the microsd is at fault but I better look for a backup utility from market 1st...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] drownage:
Hmm hero is still much slower than normal 1.5... anyone know is 2.0 has performance improvements in the actual OS... i know it has them for multimedia...

Also, wifi is glitchy... keeps randomly disconnection... Maybe because I am using WPA? Wouldn't think that would matter though...

Also, when I did use it, my battery got hot and I lost power overnight and my phone turned off... And that too without wifi... weird... How can we end background programs?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] MOUSEY:
I'm using a utility called Taskiller (free) which is downloadable from market... it's a widget to view all the running programs as well as a utility to end all of it from a single click...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ibanezbass:
I also get the inconsistency but i've noticed that its always identical some 6.9% or something, so i'm wondering if that some kind of a misread..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Razva:
Can somebody please make a full repack with a working HERO version for Kaiser? In the last 3 pages we've exchanged a lot of links and I'm kinda confused.

MOUSEY made a good post, is it "the best compilation" till now, or we should use other files?

Thanks!

@MOUSEY: you've specified the Google code, but please note that in the last two pages we've talked about zen-hero-090809.zip AND android-1.5-2009-08-08.zip. Which ones are you talking about?

Later edit: I'm willing to buy a domain name and give free hosting (as this is my job) for this "Kaiser HERO" project, if the coders are willing to support it. Anybody interested in supporting this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Razva, you mentioned Mousey's post which has links and mine right above it that has working wifi for Hero. There's 2 links-- Google Code and my Mediafire account that has the fixed system.img. The Wifi thread for Kaiser is taking files from Google Code.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ibanezbass:
Find enatefox's post on 716 i think, top of the page, it has a file posted called TESTTHIS.img or something of the sort, download it. then go download zen-hero build from http://code.google.com/p/vogue-hero/ and then download wifi-zimage from http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/

No need for a new site for kaiser hero, the vogue hero and vogue android sites are plenty.

I got UUID and partition inconsistency after another reboot (There goes my datafile...). This is quite scary... I'll load up the ADB utility and see if I can poke around with the data file a bit...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] NarSan:
for me, wifi works thanks :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] garringm:
So what exactly can be done with the adb utility I asked a while back maybe it got missed by others but I got no response not that I need it for any reason but I would still like to know what its for

I'm not being pushy on this subject but I have to believe that the data store's instability is due to the fact it is being worked from the sd card and not from ROM where it would be "locked" in. But then again I'm not very savvy on this android and not too sure if it works from a ROM and RAM such as winmo
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] MOUSEY:
I have the same speculation as you do in regards to the data file location and the I/O of our SDCards. Well, again, I'm just a tester...

ADB is actually a utility for you to connect to the Android device, install apps, perform shell commands, copy files, gather logs and such. You can check out the zip file that is at the main site and download for your own testing (http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/). Thanks DZO...

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
I'm not having issues with data.img. Can somebody do a diff compare on a good data.img and one that is corrupted? I don't see how the entire image would be destroyed-- there has to be something specifically getting messed up. I just can't imagine the odds that 100% of things would go bad leaving me thinking maybe there is a pattern or similarity. Random speculation won't get it solved though. I can't reproduce the issue so anyone that can get me the output, I'll take a look.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Razva:
I may sound like a real idiot, but should I rename "kaiserWifizImage" to "zImage"?

And I hope the last idiotic question, what should the "default.txt" file contain? Right now I'm using:

Sorry for asking such questions but I'm really confused, I've switched files all day... Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Yes, rename it. If you have a Tilt, then keypad.atttilt=1.

Also, spoke with Zenulator and he said he'll update the builds with working wifi now. So stick with his builds once that happens.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Razva:
Ok, done that. It boots, finally... The single problem is that the "resolution" is very...weird. It looks like a monitor with a 256 colors resolution. For example, at the "unlock circle", I have a "colored" line, right above the clock. The background also looks awful. The beautiful colored background has "colored dots" on the smooth transitions of colors, exactly like a low-res monitor.

Any ideeas how to fix this?

P.S.: yes, the res is already set to 320x480, as I've stated two posts ahead.
