I've got the camera working. It's not perfect but should be usable.

The following things don't work:

It doesn't use the full sensor resolution because my vogue userspace driver only supports the vogue resolution.

It doesn't do any focusing so won't work for close ups.

Exposure control isn't great so it may take some time to adjust and will be grainy in low light.

New kernel is on the google-code site here:

dzo awesome work man. quick question, what rom are you using for kaiser? I have tried the previous new kernal with voice record fix and I could not get it to work. I was using the system-ion-donut 10-03-09.img from vogue-hero google code site.

Guys,

Maby i get crazy... but i have install a tool "screenshot 1.0.6" and after installation it seems that my Android work faster then before..

Actions with screens are faster, popups are faster...

I can't believe it is true, but it seems so.

Can someone try it also? And give feedback what you experience?

Hey guys. I am new here, but I am catching on quickly.

I have a question though.

I want to have android on my Kaiser too, so I did everything that I was suppose to do, but i keep seeing the android logo flashing.. constantly. It doesn't seem to go on from that.

So.. i flashed my Kaiser, everything went fly. (dutty's rom) etc etc.

so.. tried it again, and yet again: the android logo keeps flashing.

I am using a 2GB/class 2 micro-sd card. I know I should use a higher class. but even then: shouldn't it be loading like really quickly?

This might already be handled in the other 800+ pages.. but that's too big for me to search through. Please help a guy out here..

Also: I appreciate the work and stuff you do here. I love it ;)

New kernel from DZO

I am having a world of trouble getting the new kernel to work. I keep getting stuck at a full status bar on the haret screen. Never had this problem before. I am running newest basefiles, everything is named right, and I am using the ION system image from 9-12. Any suggestions? Oh, and I have my default.txt set to 320x480 and 160 lcd density. Not sure that should matter. Must I delete my data store before trying? Again, I've tried countless builds and this is a first for me!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] toasty_:
Got the same problem with my old sdcard. Problem was that sometimes the kernel-file couldn't be copied (correctly) to the sdcard. The file was present but had 0-Bytes.

Take a look at the filesize, if its 0Bytes delete 'zImage' and copy the file again to sdcard.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Dukenukemx:

I'm having the same problem, and have had it before. toasty_: those steps have worked in the past, but not this time... I tried re-copying the kernel a few times, with no luck, and even downloaded it directly to the phone via Skyfire. Filesize seems okay. Is anyone else having this happen? I'm using a KAIS100 on AT&T
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] j101399j:
Same here:

I searched and searched and have not found the answer (I am using an AT&T tilt with shifu's rom and 1.70.19.09 rom)

Just tried loading the new zImage-08-10-09 {renamed zImage-08-10-09 to just zImage (no extension)} and I keep getting the error "Failed to load file \Storage Card\zImage"; I double checked the name and location and it still will not load; yet when I copy back the old zImage I was using, it loads no problem. So I started over from scratch; cleaned everything off, and tried again, and as soon as I run harnet, I get that error. Could it be spicifically my phone and that zImage?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Rhys'Droid:
hmm, I can attest that this kernel boots just fine on my AT&T Tilt both with the last Roger's build and with the last Ion build. The camera didn't work with the Roger's build (force close of the app) but it works with the Ion build. The video recording section of the camera still doesn't work (black screen), but the still camera is there. I am currently running 1.71.xxxx radio (don't remember the exact version) and the latest Witchshey (sp?) minimal WinMo 6.5 build. Have you tried pushing the zImage through adb rather than in WinMo? That's how I put it on my phone...

Android for TyTn II

Hey, all!

In the past week I've tried different builds in various combinations and can't find a build with flawless wifi connection. It takes too long loading the pages, and something else it is impossible to use the Market, because the damn thing says "there's not reliable connection" or somethin like that. A month ago I was able to sign to the Market and almost instantaneously downloading the apps. My point is that a month ago I was doing all that stuff. Can you suggest a decent build (please include download link if possible) with fast wifi and calls. I don't care about the camera or gps and e.t.c. If the wifi and respectively Market isn't working I really don't know why should one bother switching to android? Share your experience :)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] j101399j:
Wierd, very wierd update. I downloaded the new zImage file to my PC; zipped it (attached). E-mailed it to my phone. Downloaded the zip from the e-mail to my phone (not the sd card). Extracted the zImage-08-10-09 file (leaving the name aloneg) to the root of my SD card. Edited the default.txt to read: "set KERNEL zImage-08-10-09 ; Ran harnet and and it worked. I am able to take pictures and everything. Have no idea when I downloaded the filter and transfered it, or renamed it; it does not work. Who know? Oh well, hope this helps

@ DZO; if you do not want me to have the zip up here, please PM me and I will gladly remove it; I do not want to show any disrepect to the wonderful person that made it work.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] StarWolfX0:
Older Google builds did not have this problem.

I can boot into Android just fine, but when I try to move around or press any button everything is opposite. Bizzaro world. Up is down, down is up, and buttons are changed from what they should be. I can not even try to calibrate said screen.

It seems like my keymapping is wrong, and I am not sure how to fix it.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dzo:
ShopSavvy won't work till we fix the autofocus but try SnapTell, it's much more impressive and should work fine.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dzo:
I've put up a new kernel with some changes to power management, it works very well for me but to get good battery life you also need to do the following:

Make sure you are using the correct panel type in defaut.txt (not 0).

Disable sync and background data.

Switch off wifi before putting the device to sleep.

When in power collapse (deep sleep) the right led should flash green and only the power key will wake the device. If this doesn't happen, then something is wrong and you possibly have something installed that is keeping the device awake.

Get the new zImage from the google code site.

I can confirm this works but you must use all the base files from 09-12 otherwise it won't work, i tried to mix it up but that won't work so to reiterate. 09-12 base files and 10-09 zImage = stable working ROM w camera working

Recap

what we need is a fully functional linux kernel that works for the kaiser.

AFAIK alot of time by the guys in the vogue thread and also the guys here in this thread are working hard trying to write and adapt code to work for kaiser hardware.

As Dcordes has said, the kernel that we are using is already based off of the kernel that google is using for the dream.

So it seems that regardless of whether the dream comes out today or in two months- we still need to modify the kernel ourselves to get kaisers to work.

The current issue that is keeping our kaisers from being able to boot the new .9sdk is

"There are DMA problems with the SD driver which cause hangups when larger file operations are done on the sd card."

from the readme.txt

I have no idea what that means or how to resolve it- anybody got insight?

The breaking news portion of the readme.txt (its hasnt been updated in a little while though)

Breaking news

*************

- http://www.headfuzz.co.uk/files/android/git-diff-110808-b.diff 2.6.25 code, for reference until it will get an own branch

-zImage-pm-2.6.25 uploaded to bootkit, it has code to turn on/off the display and is based on 2.6.25. in android, press power button and select turn off display.

-Barry ginge Carter ported the htc-msm (2.6.24) to android-msm-2.6.25, there will be htc-msm-2.6.25 in linuxtogo git soon.

-marbalon ported and pushed the vogue RTC code to kaiser

-There are DMA problems with the SD driver which cause hangups when larger file operations are done on the sd card.

-Kaiser sd root filesystems to come. (in order to save contacts and so) zImage.bin already has the SD driver built in.

-Polaris bootkit uploaded

-Kaiser code updated and Polaris support added in git

-SD now works so it is possible to boot off SD card. Also SDHC works well. This was test on kaiser and polaris and works well.

-new SMD code now in git

-major cleanup is in progress by martin ling. We're aiming at merging all currently supported devices (kaiser, polaris, vogue) into the kaiser tree and then keep in track of git.android.com. Also sms in android is in the work.

-updated angstrom rootfs with smd and ppp nodes setup and ginge's ppp.sh script

-gprs works thanks to premy (tested in angstrom and android)

-making and receiving calls work (in android, other distros lack support at this point) thanks to premy

I just downloaded and followed the instructions. I get the error message "Failed to load file \ANDROID\android.bin."

I searched the thread and someone else had this problem and had to rename a file. Using the latest fileset, this doesn't seem necessary, I DO have an android.bin file, and it IS located in the \ANDROID directory.

Any ideas?

Afterwards I've noticed that my email messaging stopped working, it displays Synchronization Error and says that with current connection settings it cannot connect. However weather plugin or browsing internet still works.

Everything that was supposed to work, did on the first attempt. 100%. New Kaiser... Stock AT&T 6.0 ROM. I'm pretty excited to further explore the goodiness that is Android and I anxiously await a full working version.

[edit] Was just outide for a ciggy and thought I'd load this up again to see how long it took. Loaded right up without a hitch. At that moment a call came in. Was able to take the call, but went to speakerphone automatically (unless my ear ring acted as a stylus once again!) I got a msg that said, all touch functions are disabled while in a call. Interesting. Just thought I'd add some real life user experience to this thread.

If no, how someone gets the SDK and transform that in a bootable image?

Here is my startup.txt that I have been using for a very long time, the only thing I change is the resolution and I wish someone could add that in the builds the same as they did the lcd.density I think it is in the build.prop at least that where I found the lcd.density added.

#alloctest 0x2000

set RAMSIZE 0x07000000

set RAMADDR 0x10000000

set initrd initrd.gz

# The following kernel parameters are useful

# ppp.nostart	- Set ppp.nostart=1 to disable starting the ppp connection on boot

# lcd.density - Defaults to 160, 128 shows more on screen

also drains your battery.

yeah not having the battery drain issues. I have NEVER had the battery problems that most on here complain about.

I have switched back and forth to solace roms quite a bit, HD was not a very good ROM for me, I tried TPC used it for a while but had to many quirks, I really like the Solace Roms. Besides that the winmo rom version really shouldn't play a huge role in how well Android performs any more as it should be completely shut down when Android boots. The only thing I think you need to make sure is that you have a rom that will let haret boot up android. I used a rom a long time ago and wish that I could get it to work with these new builds, it was completely stripped down the only thing left was the main body of windows no apps no addons nothing.
