[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] SkywalkerPD:
I have problems with importing contacts from my SIM to. Under WinMo there are 90 contacts on my SIM, under Android there are none......

Edit: Issue is reported here as well.

dzo keyboard is working :D thanks!

gps and wifi i dont tested yet because i am at work.. later ill test and report..!

i only need camera and mms working to never go back to winmo :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Razva:
This issue has been reported many times, still the coders didn't had time to fix it... We hope that the next build will fix this problem :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
pethal75, I did find a link about it for your phone here

Anybody confirm that the zImage wifi isn't working? If your phone has the word "Hero" on the screen and you either didn't do what I posted or Zenulator's thread doesn't include the words "wifi is working now" then please disregard. I'm going to add a script (need to test first) that will correct the files for any build including Hero so you can use the original and after the first boot (just like wifi calibration) it will be working. Give me a minute to work the kinks out.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Razva:
Another issue I encounter is that I don't see any caller ID, only the number.

The caller IS in my agenda (synced with Google), but still the phone doesn't shows any name/picture, only the number. This is very annoying as I don't know who's calling.

Please note that this is happening only for the HERO build, the "normal Android" build doesn't has this problem.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Mystrorc:
I second this. I know the number of the people calling me, so not that big of an issue, but it is a basic function.

In addition after the call is over, android is asking me if I would like to save the number to contacts. On the call list it does denote the caller with the contact infomation.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
These issues with caller contacts, SIM, etc. are all being posted on Zenulator's thread and he's working on them. You should probably be posting them there as well since he's the one that would be fixing that.

The new kernel delivers. Thanks dzo and loserskater gets +1 for comping the Kaiser.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Razva:
Sorry for asking stupid questions but...can you please make a list of links where "HTC android is discussed", like Zenulator's thread, dzo's thread, etc. I've read a dizzilion topics in the last 3 days... Thanks!:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
This is mainly for ION development although not exclusively.

ION and Cupcake are being worked on Google CodeVogue-Android

Zenulator's thread is for his builds and he has his Google Code Vogue-Hero project although he uploads to Vogue-Android as well.

There are a lot of devs but that about covers the sites.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] FloatingFatMan:
Not specifically Kaiser related, but I have a number of WinMo devices (see sig for list), and am interested on seeing if I can get Android running on any of them, especially the M900. Can anyone point me to some resources for getting started on booting Android on different devices, please?

Thanks. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ruizit0:
why people is talking about hero in this thread ? this is for ION right ?

its starting to be a real mess .. it becomes a real pain in the ass reading this thread because people are mixing ion with hero... and is harder to devs to know the problems and what release are people talking about...

please people use ion thread

and use the code.google to report major issues!

btw: dzo the latest kernel

has the keyboard lag fixed ... but cant discover wifi... it turns on but even scanning it cant discover anything :\
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] empy16:
Hello, and congrads, awesome work.

One little question: is there a way to transfer files from PC to Android without taking out the SDcard (which freezes the phone) Or turning to WinMo?

Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Razva:
Yes, install the SDK.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
empy16, there's the SDK, a free FTP server in the Market and ADB or other ways to transfer depending on how much work you want to do. I just thought of the app that lets you modify the (inb4 lolz) vibrator and you could transfer files via sonar with a piezotransducer connected to a USB spliced cable on your PC. You will be god-tier if you can convert the binary into g-code for a 3 axis servo setup and type the keys on the keyboard.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] NarSan:
...what about HTC sync? maybe working?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] empy16:
Thank you very much.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] demanmethetplan:
Ok I once had this issue on my Nokia. Turned out I had every contact twice in my address book. Result: When called by someone in your address book, phone must choose one of two options, doesn't know which to pick, so it choses none. Maybe that's resolves issue?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Razva:
Thanks for the tip but no...this is not the problem...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Homeryz:
Narsan the Mediafire link above doesn't work.

Did you actually get wifi to work in Hero?

Thanks

Homer
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
I've posted that all Hero builds did that with contacts. I also posted that I removed my Mediafire link by request. You'll need to find a mirror or something but I'm not distributing it anymore. I'm going to make a script that should make builds compatible for our phones similar to how the calibration file is created. That should take care of that.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] adamtheray:
Might I throw my hat in the ring for those who have an unlimited data connection and think that bluetooth is a much more important functionality. Great job getting WiFi working, don't get me wrong. Bluetooth to me seems a more crucial functionality though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] 2girls1cup:
openhome and free apps bundle

There is an app called "Open Home" for android that updates the cupcake UI to the new HERO's interface. It has the 7 screens and everything. Personally for me, the cupcake build is more stable than the hero build right NOW. Just download the Openhome file, then go to market and search for HTC hero.

here is the link for OpenHome: http://www.realestniggas.com/board/showthread.php?p=19512828&highlight=openhome#post19512828

just look for the openhome link.

Here is another link that includes all the free apps in a package download: http://www.mediafire.com/?ynzzmkjznzi

You need to download astro file explorer from market to in order to navigate to your storage card where you copied all the .apk files and then just click each one to install it.

EDIT: if the second link becomes inactive just pm me
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Openhome's alright but their Hero theme is probably the best one for sure. I like DxTop better but JACxROM is very clean. That ROM has a setting to add more screens-- I think up to 15 and you can set the default one as well. Hit the menu on the home screen, go to More... and there you go. DxTop is nice because the 4 screens are up, down, left and right which is nice for wallpaper panning.

Also, the "free apps" is a dead link. Not that I was trying to download it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] NarSan:
I have some bug on Hero version (test build):

- when to make or receive a call, do not have a picture of contact

- system does not recognize the contact is saved in the phone and I have only number (but I have this contact in my book phone)

- connection with a slight delay (for me only after the two signals we can see that someone rings)

- notifications about missed calls doesn't work

- microphone don't work (I have applications from Android Market - gString (tuner for violin) and I can't record sound)

- I can't import contact form SIM

all for today ...

Could know if there is any progress with these errors?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
- when to make or receive a call, do not have a picture of contact

Just answered that on #729

- system does not recognize the contact is saved in the phone and I have only number (but I have this contact in my book phone)

"..."

- notifications about missed calls doesn't work

noted on Zenulator's thread

- microphone don't work (I have applications from Android Market - gString (tuner for violin) and I can't record sound)

I think every build has that issue for apps

- I can't import contact form SIM

noted on Zenulator's thread
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tembares:
Earlier I have read before that the camera is working. Is it working on the Kaiser?

I have read that the HTC application did not work with it, but with others does.

Who is using such a program and which one is best?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Mikulec:
camera is not working on kaiser yet
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] NarSan:
thanks :), when I find new bugs, write about them.

- when to make or receive a call, do not have a picture of contact

Just answered that on #729

- I have one contact, so there is other problem...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] philfred:
contacts

The contacts issue has been reported before - to get them off your sim try installing downloading funambol for windows and sync your contacts and then install the android version in the market and job done.

Regards

Phil
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Or you can add contacts to Google Contacts and you can then sync that way
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Razva:
Best solution in my opinion. In this way you'll have the contacts both on your WinMo (using Active Sync) and HERO (using the built-in sync tool). I strongly recommend it to everybody.

Still...make a PIM backup from time to time....in case you delete all your contacts by mistake and do a force sync with Google. I've lost all my agenda that way once :p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dzo:
I've made some changes to audio for kaiser, can somebody who was having audio problems try the kernel I just put on the google code site.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
dzo, confirming the second to newest kernel has wifi AP scanning issues (keyboard is fixed however). I'll check the new one in a second though. You know we love your updates...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] JeckyllHavok:
IMPORTANT:

Can please anyone with a hero android test the following Ramsize in default.txt?

It seems to me that sense is running mouch smoother and closes less.

0x50000000 are the 160mb of our kaiser

:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] radem205:
Hey Dzo, are these changes in the new zimage perhaps the solution for the audio during incoming and outgoing calls?

Edit: If yes, I got the same problems during incoming calls (no sound at all). It looks like it's only with incoming calls (with a incoming call (first call after booted android) it takes a long time (relatively) before the screen goes on and the sound is playing). When I first call somebody then there's no problem with the audio (I don't know this for sure, because it happens very randomly), but I have tried it several times with this result.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] MOUSEY:
Try making a call first and get connected 1st - see if it helps. It worked for me here...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] radem205:
It seems to work indeed, but I hope there is a soluton for this problem (calls are the most important thing for a phone :))
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] catchfire:
i can confirm that wifi is working now with dzo's latest kernel 14 Aug 09
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Borkata81:
Vilord or any other can check why I cannot set autoconnet for data connection to disabled, i.e. ppp.nostart=1 is not working.

I am currently working on bluetooth and hope I can make it easy to work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] slovoflud:
a lot of progress here! too bad I sold my Kiser..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] garringm:
How's this going, I really like that hybrid you put out a few days ago tried to run zenulators latest system.img but keeps going through a loop won't boot.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] CrashnBrn:
Anyway to get HaRET bootloader working in Win 6.5 if I'm trying to flash Android 1.5?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
I've been sidetracked with other stuff. It's really easy to convert a G1 ROM's system.img to our phones but I haven't had great luck with Hero (the official Dream dump). I'm looking at compcache and I really like mssmison's images which supports it.

Speaking of, can someone tell me if I can just drop ext2.ko into /system/lib/modules/(uname -r)/kernel/fs/ext2?

I'm going to try but I'm doubtful. I really want to finish getting Ubuntu to start like it used to.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Borkata81:
enatefox I thought that we have ext2 support in our kernel...?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
This is an old copy of the output but I think it's exactly what I'm getting now as well although between the first time this happened to now it had worked.

I'm about to try it again with mssmison's because he actually has a kernel folder which was an issue I don't have the output for at the moment (/lib/modules/2.6.... not found) so that should fix it.

# insmod ext2.ko
insmod: init_module 'ext2.ko' failed (No such file or directory)
# modprobe ext2.ko

# busybox insmod ext2.ko

# dmesg

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] momo254:
tried the new zimage posted on the google code site and wifi still isn't working for me :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
From my understanding and correct me if im wrong anybody but im pretty sure the wifi is in the system image you have to extract it and write something into it so that wifi is enabled.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Depends on the build. Mssmison and Zenulator's do not have wifi working in system.img by default. You need to overwrite the appropriate files and it will work. Haven't yet tested the new zImage.

If you have issues with it, please post the build you are running.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] X46X:
Hello. I have a small problem. I can not change tone(Sms tone, ring tone, etc.) When I open "Ring tone menu" I see only Ringtones and ok or cancel.. I have a Lattest build and I have folder media in sd card root..

Help my please. Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] cicciobellomo:
You should download the hero-kaiser zip file (http://www.androidonhtc.com/kaiser:latest_builds). Then copy the media folder in your sd card. Reboot android and magically ringtones area available also for notifications

Ciao from Italy
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] X46X:
I have IT.. And ringtones "not avaible" When I want change ringtone. I open ringtones menu but menu is empty.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] skadamat:
installation problem

When I downloaded the newest 1.5 bundle with wifi, and unzipped to my SD card, it won't load. IT goes 2 the black screen but even after an hr it doens't load android...it just keeps increasing some long number into the 900's and says like 'file truncated' or something. Also, when i get the HERO bundle and unzip to root folder of sd card it has the same problem!

Besides formatting my sd card, what else should i do?

I know my post is not helpful for development but I would like 2 use android rlly badly!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tembares:
Did you extract the ZIP file?

So, download resources.zip (http://vogue-android.googlecode.com/files/resources.zip) and extract those files into the root of your SD card. It will automatically extracted in the folder called media.

Give it another try :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] X46X:
Yes I have "media" folder in root SD card.. I try older build and have same problem.. But android 1.1 working fine..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Mikulec:
Did you reboot the android? Sometimes u need to do that if u want to see the ringtones.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] MOUSEY:
I'm happy to inform that the latest zImage is working with WIFI AP scanning. The keyboard is also a bit more responsive.

Setting the RAMSIZE parameter does not show memory increase effect on my end here (Running "free"). Maybe it's placebo effects, it does feels more responsive (especially on HERO build)... :P

The virtual memory is still not being used despite the main memory went up to 90% or more. I wonder what'll happen when swapping takes place later...

# free

total used free shared buffers
Mem: 98816 96660 2156 0 380
Swap: 32460 8 32452
Total: 131276 96668 34608

I also been getting the single dialog box (OK and CANCEL) when choosing a new ringtone. Other builds did not have such problem though...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
I need some help with this script. I've modified initrd.gz and that's too early in the boot process. Just modded init.rc in rootfs.img and got "path does not exist" and then "read only file system" even though I mounted /system as rw, ran a routine (below) and then umounted it so the normal ro mount could occur. It shouldn't switch to read only in the middle of an IF statement. I realize that init.rc syntax is different and after 5 attempts, I leave it to someone (I already can do this so it doesn't really matter to me). I should note that it will touch a file /sdcard/wififix/fixed to prevent running it after every reboot. You simply remove that file on a new image to make it run again. It might not be "cool" to overwrite a build.prop but I couldn't get sed to replace with a backreference correctly and I figure since a dev can so easily make his/her system.img have working wifi that if they are commenting that line then I don't feel too bad.

So can any knowledgeable dev help me figure out why or add this in. It should (when working) make any system.img able to use wifi and fix su permissions assuming a folder /sdcard/wififix with the appropriate files are in place:

if [ -e /sdcard/wififix ] ; then
if [ ! -e /sdcard/wififix/fixed ] ; then
echo "Copying wifi fix over to /system now..."
cp -a /sdcard/wififix/wlan_loader/system/bin/wlan_loader
cp -a /sdcard/wififix/wlan_loader2 /system/bin/wlan_loader2
cp -a /sdcard/wififix/Fw1251r1c.bin /system/etc/wifi/Fw1251r1c.bin
cp -a /sdcard/wififix/tiwlan.ini /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini
cp -a /sdcard/wififix/wpa_supplicant.conf /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
cp -a /sdcard/wififix/wlan.ko /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko

if [ -e /system/bin/su ]; then
chown root:2000 /system/bin/su
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
fi
if [ -e /system/xbin/su ]; then
chown root:2000 /system/xbin/su
chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
fi
if [ `cat /system/build.prop | grep -c '#wifi.inter'` ]; then
cp -a /sdcard/wififix/build.prop /system/build.prop;
fi
if [ `cat /system/build.prop | grep -c '# wifi.inter'` ]; then
cp -a /sdcard/wififix/build.prop /system/build.prop;
fi
touch /sdcard/wififix/fixed
echo "Wifi should work, but you will probably need to reboot now"
fi
fi

kthx
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] vilord:
I still haven't gotten a logcat from someone who can't import contacts from their SIM. What errors do you get?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] vilord:
dude, 0x50000000 is 1.28 GIGs of memory... double check your math... you're off by a factor of 8... 0xA000000 is what you are looking for, but since kaiser can't use a bunch of the memory (reserved for the radio chipset) it doesn't much matter.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Vilord, that's for Hero only and it's in all the builds for it. Known bug and the workaround is to use a PIM manager or Google Contacts for now. Since you're here though.. can you look at my script above your post please?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] vilord:
enatefox: the system.img is a read-only filesystem. mounting it -o remount,rw does nothing as cramfs can't be mounted rw.

The only option is to rebuild the system.img.

the way the ion builds work is that wlan_loader and wlan.ko are both in the rootfs, and there needs to be links created in the system.img to point at /etc/wifi.

I've contacted mssmison with that information, but I'm not sure if he's done it yet.

The script you wrote would work fine if we had a writeable system.img that was mounted RW.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
I completely forgot that cramfs is RO even though I've always been copying to ext2 to edit.. my mistake.

You say the only option is to rebuild the system.img but apparently it's not okay for me to redistribute so at any rate, the actual cp commands and uncommenting wifi.interface in build.prop are all that is needed. ION works a-okay it's other people's builds that are not. I've used ION files to make theirs work.

I contacted justanothercrowd to see if it's okay to use his image but no word back. Maybe mssmison is open to it. I would just make my own but I've had a less than dandy time with the Dream dump of Hero myself. I'm sticking with JAC's though anyways and wifi and su are perfect for me at least.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] vilord:
The best option is to get mssmison and zenulator to fix their builds. It would not be hard for them to do.

Modify your scripts to point to system instead of /system, and instead of doing a CP command, do an ln -s /etc/wifi/<file> /system/<destination>

FYI the way SU works in the ion builds is that I just set the suid bits when I'm building the system image...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] MOUSEY:
I stumbled upon this yesterday about how to rebuild the system.img. Hope it's useful though...

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Android system.img Customization
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Right, JAC hasn't gotten back. Haven't asked mssmison. zenulator doesn't want me fixing his builds which is why I took the links down. He's put something like 5 attempts up after I sent him the 6 lines of code it takes and his are still not working.

On my laptop, I just overwrite the wifi files in the script and make sure that wifi.interface = tiwlan0 is uncommented in build.prop which zenulator has commented for some reason. I haven't really messed with mssmison's so it might be uncommented. Then /system/bin/su and/or /system/xbin/su need to be root.2000 with chmod of 4755. I know, they shouldn't even be in the image but they're putting them there so I just fix it.

For me, it takes 2 seconds to fix it and I can't for the life of me figure out what the problem is especially when the source comes from someone else for those builds. I just thought I'd end the madness with people posting that wifi isn't working.

I've offered and posted the steps to do on a computer and I don't think anyone's using them.
