qwertz125, it should be a cramfs image or yaffs2. I don't know where you read about kl files but it works for me. I edit the image on my laptop though. I had hoped/assumed it would let you overwrite them at bootup. Did anyone see if the remount script worked? If not, if you send me the keylayout you want, I'll repack the system.img from the latest build for you.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Magister2k7:
Oh, yes. I thought about it after wrote that post... well, do you have any ideas on how to do that? I want to try, as I need ukrainian layout.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Anyone who wants a custom keylayout, just send me the three files I've attached on the previous page with the layout you want. I will repack the latest build with it for you.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] AciDCooL:
Yes the touchscreen works fine, but I want to get into the linux console to check out some scripts and stuff..

Or is it like compile android and then hope the changes u made work?

Cause then I have to look in to compiling stuff for android and im not the best compiler :P

SD card works on Vogue

Just checked Vogue's developer's site and YES SD now works at Vogue! Can anybody try if it also works with Kaiser?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] AciDCooL:
Tried it, doesnt work said cant find sd card..

Guess we need an zimage with kaiser hardware mapped to get it working
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] sswalia:
@ acidcool : make sure u dont have a sd card that is higher than 2g. Apparently sdhc cards are not yet supported.

has anyone tried with a less than 2gig sd card?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] shadowline:
Trying it right now with a 2gb card (sadly I got rid of my 512). It does not seem to boot at all. Black screen or gets stuck on haret. And other versions work ok on the rom I am using.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] baz:
The code has been ported to the Kaiser with added suporrt for our 2 sd card slots (one is for wifi). The kaiser SD is different, but works enough for now. If you want to give it a go you can try my experimental kernel http://www.headfuzz.co.uk/files/android/zImage at your risk. The SD card driver doesnt seem to be able to boot android off the loopback device yet, but will boot angstrom image off an sd card partition.

(p.s the touchscreen is broken in this kernel - sorry)

Hopefully we will have this code merged and tested in the next day or so and placed in the git
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] AciDCooL:
Mine is only 1 gig :cool:

Very nice keep up the good work dude

I commited baz' premy's and friends stuff to the git. Will update kaiser bootkit tomorrow to have a nice solution for both, android and angstrom to boot from SD card.

Lack of commitment with the developer from Google

Google has taken little notice of the majority of android developers out there. They haven't updated the SDK (~=initrd image) since march, and developers are getting really frustated in having to deal with a buggy SDK and emulator.

To get things worse, they opened an updated SDK only to the 50 final competitors of the android challenge. They even made the mistake of sending the email to all developers of the challenge, letting everyone know that google was just hiding the real thing from the developers.

It's really a shame, because it's such a promissing platform. They won't successed wihtout the developers community.

In the android developers they have a petition, if you want to help, please sign it:

I'm not going to support this until it is open source software. It's pretty but cheap!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] shadowline:
I have found a great piece of software for testing that allows you to install other software for testing! (think synaptic?)

Once SD is integrated and working, I think this would be very useful.

Edit:

You know, I realized that I never put a link or a name to the application.... I need more sleep, too many late nights playing with all the useless buttons in android... lol

heres the link

Trackdroid, application downloader/updater

Edit 2:

a bit off topic but they finally have 3G in my local area!!!!!!! wooo!!! *throws party and dances around*

edit 3:

err... did I kill the thread again? :P

So how about when the SD card is working on kaisers, someone includes the trackdroid in the initrd?

Interesting bit of software. Are you a developer of this by any chance ;)

Cause of Coma discovered

Ok so i've been doing an experiment.

For the last 7 days I've been using the July 9th package. Instead of keeping my data connection active all the time, I only turn it on when I need to check my mail. I've also disabled automatic gmail sync.

During this entire 7 day test, the phone did not enter the comatose state once.

Now having push gmail is one of the coolest things about android, so its kind of important.

Today at lunch I turned on data and enabled automatic gmail sync. By 2pm I had a coma effect.

So it seems like keeping data enabled and using auto gmail sync have something to do with the issue.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
I can't do that but I can preload a layout if anyone wants it. That's an Android thing, not related to us porting it.

http://groups.google.com/group/android-platform/browse_thread/thread/eda3e06103144d80

There are links to some development on that but doesn't look like anything solid yet.

USBnet for internet, ssh or telnet

Hi,

I tried to connect my phone with my pc via usb.

if I start 'ifconfig -a' (phone) get the information, that there is a 'usb0' device. It has a MAC-Adress and I can configure it via ifconfig. But when I plug it on pc it isn't recognized. lsusb tells me 'High Tech Computer Corp.'. After modprobe cdc_ether there is no new network device listet on my pc. What can I do to get a ssh or telnet session via usb? I also tried to build the usb ether gadget as modules but this failed. Has somebody managed to build this module?

And can somebody please tell me, how I get a connection via 'adb'. If I try to start 'adbd' I get 'cannot bind tcp:5038'. There is a trick to it... or

Thanks

Rogers Android

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if the we could use the android from the htc magic which has a better dialer and all that. The icons on that are different. Rogers has this on their magic. Also if I wanted could I use their system image or does have to be changed? Please if someone could make this it would be great.

Thank You
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] vilord:
bravekid: I've attempted porting the magic rom before, and it seems that we need working libaudio before it will be possible.

Martin is working on that now, so once he gets it working I'll be able to look at the magic rom again.

toasty: cdc_subset ethernet is not currently turned on. Adbd should be starting automatically on your phone, and with the latest kernel you should be able to just connect the phone and do "sudo adb devices" then "adb shell"

regarding autoconnect, it works on vogue and I didn't know it wasn't working for you guys... should have a GSM phone in the next few days and I'll be bringing the GSM radio functionality in line with CDMA once it arrives.

mburris, do you have overclocking in use? maybe it is a combination between overclocking and the phone... i'm thinking maybe overclocking is overdriving the communications bus
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Pandemic187:
I noticed something interesting today and I'm wondering if this happens for anybody else. Also, if someone has already pointed this out, I apologize. One thing that is annoying with the newer versions of Android for Kaiser is that the screen orientation won't switch correctly when opening and closing the phone while an application is open. But I noticed that it will actually work correctly if I uncheck the option to change orientation automatically. Strange, but it fixed the problem.

Also, the left LED by the earpiece usually stays on contantly while in sleep mode. It's a minor thing, but it doesn't look good.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Newbie16:
Hi, i have a question, why does it try to start the modem before a connection to my service provider is available? The main screen says (No Service) so shouldn't it try just after it gets a signal?

My handset also does this and unchecking the option resolved the issue.

exchange support

For those of you needing Exchange email support on your Kaiser, I just came across this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=536727

Now my only reason I can't use Android full time is the lack of wifi support.

You developers are doing amazing work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Here's the part where wifi is failing, at least for Kaiser with wifi initialization. Excerpt's from "tiwlan_loader/tiwlan_loader.c"

/* Need to wait till driver will be created in sdio_probe() */
do {
print_debug("Configuring adapter\n");
rc = IPC_DeviceIoControl(adapter_name, TIWLN_SET_INIT_INFO, init_info, req_size, NULL, 0,
[B]/* Log prints: %d = 0 */[/B]
print_debug("Adapter configuration rc = %d\n", rc);
if( rc != 0 ) {
if( count > 4 ) {break;}
count++;
sleep(1);
}
} while( rc != 0 );

/* Send configMge start command as the cli is started */
if( rc == 0 ) {
print_debug("Starting configMge\n");
[B]/* Here's where it fails with -1 */[/B]
rc = IPC_DeviceIoControl(adapter_name, TIWLN_DRIVER_STATUS_SET, &tmpData, sizeof(tiUINT32), NULL, 0, NULL);
[B]/* Log prints: %d = -1 */[/B]
print_debug("ConfigMge start rc = %d\n", rc);
}

Now, where do we go from here? This is the furthest we've gotten to wifi connection and I've got the file and the location (about 1/2 way down) where it is failing. This is where manually instantiating the interface or going to wifi settings will both fail. Seems like at the very least a wrapper for IPC_DeviceIoControl() will give us better details on the issues. I need help with that so any takers?

keyboard in linuxtogo kernel

I tried the recent kernel at linuxtogo.org which includes some changes for the Kaiser keyboard. It seems less responsive. When I typed, there were several missing characters. The keys all work, but maybe just not as fast.

On the other hand, it looks like there's some good progress on USB! The Kaiser shows up when I run lsusb on the PC (as toasty_ mentioned). Thank you dzo!

Is it possible to have the output of dmesg constantly written to my sdcard? i want to keep a copy incase it locks up again. When i run 'wpa_supplicant -Dtiwlan0 -itiwlan0 -c/sdcard/wpa_supplicant.conf' the kernel panics or the system locks up, i need to know if dmesg is able to write something before this happens

Edit: it locks up every time i try it, might try some other things

Edit2: found the issue, the firmware filename was wrong in the script
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Newbie16,

su
logcat -f /sdcard/debuglog.txt &
insmod /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko
start wlan_loader
start wpa_supplicant
start dhcpcd
fg
D-pad center + c

will dump to /sdcard/debuglog.txt. I believe it will just keep writing to it too. These are the steps to getting wifi initialized as far as anyone's got.

I know ION is closed source but is there a way to acquire it? Cupcake is nice but it's not as nice.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] skola28:
It seems as though GPS has some 'quirks' and was simply updated 'enough' to get us a position in Google Maps. The problem is, I don't think all of the values from the GPS are actually getting parsed out. Things such as number of satellites, heading, speed, etc are not being assigned from the GPS radio. My reasoning is there are a few apps in teh Market which show these values, but they never populate any data except for Lat/Long (which works well for me in USA).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Descention:
according to the nmea file i found in data.img/location/gps, only RMC data is being kept. We would need GGA, GSV, or GSA to know the number of satellites.

As for the north/south hemisphere, maybe the data just isn't being parsed for those. It is there though.

I am running latest files on my Kaiser and problem is this:

How can you use | and > on the keyboard?

i wanted to run dmesg|grep ..., is there a way to get the full software keyboard, i'm using better terminal, so if i've read correctly, i need to get to this before i can get working wifi?

press the shift + left softkey on the keyboard (not the faceplate) to get a pipe "|" symbol.

>working wifi?

no...

Look where ConfigMge gets called then returns -1. I've posted this before:

/* Send configMge start command as the cli is started */
if( rc == 0 ) {
print_debug("Starting configMge\n");
[B]/* Here's where it fails with -1 */[/B]
rc = IPC_DeviceIoControl(adapter_name, TIWLN_DRIVER_STATUS_SET, &tmpData, sizeof(tiUINT32), NULL, 0, NULL);
[B]/* Log prints: %d = -1 */[/B]
print_debug("ConfigMge start rc = %d\n", rc);
}

The log output is in bold to help you see that it fails upon IPC_DeviceIoControl

To get a dmesg after the kernel locks up, reboot into wince and start haret, then run a script containing:

pwf dmesg.txt 0xe0000 0x20000

This will create a dmesg.txt file, it wraps around so look for the largest timestamp.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] wanderso:
This problem still exists with the 7/9 Ion build, at least with radio 1.71.09.01. It is an interesting problem, because the phone connects (the timer on the call is rolling), but the sound is non-functional. I suspect there is a problem getting the AMSS vocoder correctly loaded into the DSP.

QWERTY and AZERTY

Hi guys,

anyone has a hint or a solution to having an AZERTY (software / hardware) working keyboard on the kaiser using Android ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
I don't think a lot of people here are having the dead call of doom like we used to. As for azerty or any keylayout request that doesn't include the phrase "change on the fly" you can email me your layouts and I will post a link to the image with it for you.

Having gotten my job's software to run in Linux I'm feeling like trying something with wifi now, I'm gitting cupcake to try to work on wifi since we can't exactly mod ION a whole lot. Maybe I can find the error with the function I've posted. Seems that our hardware supports managed mode since it can tether a connection. We could have something interesting soon with that.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tobalsan:
OK, anyone had this special issue ? when i open the keyboard, screens flips the good way, but when sliding back to close the keyboard, the screen will rotate upside down (180°) instead of going vertical again...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] RipperHoss:
I've experienced this a few times. Usually stays that way until I close the application or let the screen shut off, then when I turn it back on, it's properly oriented.

If this looks like a mirror and your phone has a check mark next to Display Rotation, you will have that issue.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Newbie16:
Is it also possible to add the commands i've typed in? i want to see the effect of my commands on the output, also is there a way of tailing dmesg to a file, it seems to have other info in it
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
After logcat and before fg. The commands I posted replace what you want to run but either way, that will produce the log file.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] MooNWalker:
Nothing strange. This option is enabled originally for G1, which has accelerometer. Kaiser lacks accelerometer and therefore software just doesn't get it that the phone is already in portrait orientation.

Is there anything that jumps out about this, running on AT&T Tilt, that would keep overclocking from working?

help??:confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dzo:
How do you know it's not working? It only takes effect after the first resume from power collapse but it does work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] JacenSolo2001:
I have one of the pieces of software on the desktop that shows the cpu at 383 still :(

But did those settings looked spot-on to you?

and the phrase "first resume from power collapse but it does work." - you just mean a full restart of the phone?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mburris:
means after you put it in stand-by by hitting the button on the right side of the phone (button that turns off the screen)

after you hit that the Left LED will start to blink green. This means the phone is in its "power collapsed" or stand-by state. Hitting that same button will cause it to resume, and then you should have your full over-clocked speed.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] JacenSolo2001:
Ok, thanks for clarification - at this point, I'm booting in WM6.5, start haret, start modem, everything connects - at this point it shows 383 on the cpu. I've put phone into standby, and bring it back out, and am still at 383. (This is on the At&T Tilt)

One other oddity that maybe someone can point me in the right direction - on some of my GPS programs (google maps) work perfectly. Others for "my location" put me in Savannah, Georgia, or a South American country - I'm in Dallas, Texas.

Thanks for the assists!
