cramfs can only mount ro. You must mount it, cp -a to another directory, make your modifications, and mkcramfs that directory.

I'm too busy playing with battery to test the system.img right now..

Hi, just got back from my holiday. Lots has happened here it seems.

Yes, I enabled the vibration by adding vogue_hw to the board file, it works the same as vogue.

Kaiser doesn't use proc_comm (dex) for the battery info. It talks directly to a DS2746 over i2c, is someone working on this? (and yes, if android sees the battery at 0% it will shut down)

I've traced the audio path stuff and it looks like it just needs an rpc call (prog 0x3000002) to set the audio path with the parameters at the end of smem. I'll work on this asap.

Excellent. Data connection has never worked for me.

Assuming this is a good image (as it seems to be) can you do me a favour okibi?

List out exactly what you need to do to get a data connection on this image?

Explain your provider, the ppp-user etc in default.txt.

Do you have to have an active connection in WM6 before you run haret?

When you get to Android, what APN have you configured?

And do you need to use Togga and finally, does the G icon on the status bar change?

This information would be really helpful to work out why some can get data connection and some can't!

Thanks in advance.

Someone do me a favor and test this package:

http://www.slackthebox/android/Android1-31.zip

It has the orientation fix, rotation fix, boot splash fix, calls work, sms works, internet works.

Follow these steps to use it:

1. extract contents of Android1-31 folder to your SD card

2. make sure you have a data connection in windows mobile (I used HSDPA)

3. call your voicemail and immediately switch to file explorer and run haret

4. click run (no need to listen for connections)

5. android will boot successfully

Do NOT change any files, use the ones included. Let me know if this works for you.

I'm using radio 1.70.19.9 on bob's 1-22 "faster than anything on kaiser" rom, ME edition

I live in the USA on AT&T.

There is no magick in the initrd files. They are .cpio.gz files, gzipped cpio balls.

To extract a .cpio.gz file named initrd-android.cpio.gz simply do

Then you have the extracted rootfs. The reverse way would be, assuming you are inside your rootfs folder:

And yes, you can remove and add applications you find that way.

android ringtones and custom stuff.

Here are some of the included, but hidden ringtones in the android initrd. And yes I know that these are all most likely placeholders, but nice nonetheless. :p

I am attempting to add apps and graphics, so wish me luck!

*attempts to load compiz and pidgin* (j/k of course:cool:)

EDIT:

I have android loading with a few custom applications (in the menu, have not tested them) and a custom wallpaper... now how to take a screenshot as I dont have a working camera....

Edit2:

I cannot get the applications to load properly without crashing. I'm not sure if the apps are incompatable, or If there is something that I did wrong.

also here is the initrd file I was toying with if anyone wants to mess around with it.

while adding back in the api demos, it seems as if the android file cant go over a certain size otherwise haret will yell and scream about it being too fat and say initrd needs to go on a diet.... :rolleyes:

Also trying a few more apps again.

Hi, shadowline. I just tried your file, the applications can't be loaded, i'm thinking about which Dalvik VM has integrated in this kernel?

I agree - and t-mobile uk settings

I agree, I was following the threads and have used the SMS1-23 rom. I have data etc, but have not bothered applying the patches to fix the screen rotation or anything (although for some reason that got stuck tonight) - I think its great that everyone wants to do something to get it all working but feel that some of the effort is duplicated and then the whole thing goes backwards, which then fustrates everyone. If anyone who is doing the dev wants some webspace for nowt pm me and I will oblige. I get unlimited data transfers out from my webserver and its up 99% of the time...anything to help.

I have data on t-mobile uk no problem...

I start a data connection by loading IE then run HARET - don't bother listening for connections...

Let Android load - and importantly wait for the signal icon at the top to come alive... , I have found that some of the apps like loopt cause problems i am wondering if there expecting an always on internet connection so start before TOGGA can (???)....

I get the G as well (sometimes) and I think when I dont and it works that maybe the 3G connection is being used?

I have an APN called

Off topic at all

Phil, I think you cannot answer such a question in a thread like this. This thread is about Android and not Windows Mobile. A lot of us are fans of this new OS and are supporting our developers :p

Ask this question in about a few months, then all of us will work with Android and will advise you to make that move, too :D

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tembares:
Reason why speaker phone does not work and ear piece only is because you called your voice mail. When you skip that point, you will only have speaker phone (so, no ear piece).

how hard would it be to figure out what needs to be done to actually initialize stuff like data connection (instead of relying on winmo for part of it?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] okibi:
Firstly,

Poor ddev.info server is getting hit hard serving up that file I posted. I've moved the link to my other server here:

(the link on ddev.info will be removed shortly)

Secondly,

It wouldn't be that hard to get android to init the devices. I don't think it's that important to do at this stage as we need to get everything working first, then attempt that.

I'm looking into the data issue right now. I hope to figure out what the deal is sometime tonight.

I have a full battery driverlaid out, but it doesn't seem to want to be inittialized.

The driver itself is a i2c_driver... how can I get that to be a platform_device (or does it not matter?)

I have different but not bad audio issues...I can use the earpiece when in calls (dirrectly off a fresh boot from wince), and I can play music through the speaker (haven't tried speakerphone).

4 hours ago dzo upped some cool audio stuff.... my tree is too messed up to give a good build, though... hopefully I'll get a new zImage up when the battery is done (soon, I promise)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dzo:
I've got the audio path rpc working (I think so anyway). Try:

http://cs-alb-pc3.massey.ac.nz/vogue/zImage-kaiser

Audio should play through the internal speaker during calls now.

I don't really understand what the rpc parameters do so something may still be broken.

This kernel also lets you set the backlight brightness and fades out when sleeping.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tembares:
Thanks for the file. Downloaded, tested with success. I made a call with the internal speaker. MP3 files were played via the external speaker! THANKS!

Do you have any idea why data is not working anymore since system.img where SMS worked (at least for me. I have a Kaiser on a GSM network).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] radem205:
Thank you DZO, also working on the polaris! The only thing why I still don't use android for daily use is because of the power management (what is missing). Great progress you made DZO and welcome back :).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Sheytoon:
Thanks dzo. Very glad to have you back. I just tested the new zImage.

The audio works perfectly with the internal speaker during the call. External speaker doesnt work. Enabling the external speaker has no effect and the call remains on the internal speaker.

But MP3 files play just fine through the external speaker. so no problem there.

Also data and sms work just fine. I tested them and no problem.

When you slide out the screen it goes landscape. It is still upside down. but when you slide in the screen again it lock and goes back to portrait. Thanks for fixing this. it was very annoying.

Great work. Keep it up.

Great job dzo!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] shadowline:
Wow, great update. The backlight works great now both through settings and when idle. And sound switches from the speakerphone with media to the handset when in call. Although using the speakerphone setting in a call does not switch between. Vibrate is also still in this version, and I can not comment on data or sms as i switched back to an older .img file to get data working.

(on a side note, the official last.fm client doesn't work for some reason, it crashes when selecting something to play.)

with that said, i do have a few problems, comments and questions... when i first tried to boot up with dzo's files from his website, it wouldn't load at all, it keeps saying failed to load zImage. but when i used shadowonline's 1-23 package, it boots up great, and has phone (speakerphone), sms, data through tonga (although data seems really slow, but i am also in the boonies). so now when i try to switch out the zImage kernel with dzo's updated one and leave everything else the same, i am back to getting the failed to load zImage error message through haret. when i change back to shadowonline's kernel, it works again. anyone have any ideas why?

any help is appreciated
