I can confirm that booting the rom IS possible using the following:

Diamond v4 Rom.

I'm using out of the box settings (not replacing the Zimage or the haret version).

Just install the CAB and you're good to go.

I simply love this interface, it works smooth and fast.

If i can be of any service, please let me know.

With kind regards,

I'm wondering if these steps might help us figure out how to directly boot into android... let me know if anyone gets anything working with them.

Adding other apps

There is a lot of android applications that can be already tested. I think we could ask in the android challenge forum if the developers wouldn't be interested in making their apps available for our initrd image. It would make much more interesting if we could run some of the cool apps developed for the challenge, and some others that are available ont he internet.

There is something wrong with this patch !

OK this one applies cleanly, and I see that support for setting APN, USERNAME and PASSWORD from CMDLINE in default.txt is added to a setupmodem.sh (through ppp.apn=<AccessPoint Name> ppp.username=<Username> and ppp.password=<Password> variables).

Unfortunately, I don't have 3G coverage in this area of the city so I'll have to wait till evening to test it :(.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] baz:

Alright, is ION really worth testing on our phones or is it just a crowd pleaser for a few extra features? Our builds are optimized for our phone so how does that compare to ION?

And has anyone made a successful image or tried for Hero yet? I tried and gave up mostly because I only want Rosie UI, I think the actual OS on it is crap since it's a kid's version of Android. Just look in the /bin folder and you will see disappointment staring back.

On an unrelated subject, I'm going to check Hero's flash player version but 10 is coming soon for all smartphones running WinMo, Android and Symbian except for the iphone so imeem et all will be possible.

Thanks dzo for genext2fs. I had gitted the wrong version of Android after timeouts and all and did not want to have to do it again. These images are actually filling up my hard drive..

Ion seems to be working relatively smooth, very responsive on window transititions, so far i've not had the problem with it going to sleep and not waking back-up, couldn't tell you about call waiting or other stuff that I just don't use, it has basically become a web browsing machine for me.

Ok, ION is my new Android. Way better than any build yet for responsiveness, my Retro Clock widget works unlike before and it's just better all around.

Getting Rosie's large clock didn't seem to work out for me but I'm still trying.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mburris:
Martin,

Thank you very much for the info on how to make the system files. I will update my methods. Two questions:

So when I'm editing an existing system image, in your example, could the "my-system" folder be the folder where I've mounted the existing CramFS system.img image?

Once I've used genext2fs to create my new system image with corrected perms, is it safe to mount that ext2 file and make changes to it directly? It sounds like any new ext2 system image needs to be created (again, by using genext2fs)to correct permissions after every edit.

To everyone using ION:

I know... its so fast and stable, I love it. Please give Vilord some love for it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
This is me:

mkdir stock-system && mkdir temp
sudo mount -o loop system.img stock-system
genext2fs -d stock-system -b 300000 -a system.ext2
sudo mount -o loop system.ext2 temp/
---Make Changes---
sudo mkfs.cramfs temp/ system.1.5.img

Do exactly what I posted. You'll see the original cramfs mounted to a folder ending in "system" (no slash!) then genext2fs is creating the ext2 image off of the mounted cramfs image. That's where the copying part comes in. Then you pull off a cramfs of that folder, test it out, tweak and repeat. Finally you umount the folders.

Since GPS is not working on the kaiser yet, there really might not be much of a reason for posting this... but I will anyway.

For those who are interested in using ION for the first time, please ignore this post, and follow the instructions here: Google ION on Kaiser

this is the latest initrd.gz file from vilord to work with his ION vogue release. I have modified it to allow the data connection to work on our phones. I read there is an issue with the LCD.DENSITY stuff... so don't put anything about "LCD.DENSITY=" in the command line of your startup.txt or default.txt.

you will need to use this with the other files found here

use the attached file instead of the initrd.gz file found on the link above.

the attached file needs to be renamed from initrd.gz.zip to initrd.gz

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] krisje8:
It's been a while since I used android on my Kaiser, and I see all sorts of new names popping up.

Mainly ION and these other mods are new to me.

I downloaded okibi's latest bundle, and replaced the files with the files from ION (from the google code page).

I also edited the default.txt for my ppp settings.

ION worked very fast and smooth, but the switch between landscape and portrait mode did not always work, and my data did not work at all.

I did try to set up the APN, but nevertheless it didn't work.

So, I deleted all the files, and just put okibi's latest files there without applying ION's files.

Now, after setting up my APN, connecting with the modem works, the internet browser works, but all google applications like the market do NOT work.

I tried several different settings for my APN, one of wich I'm sure should've worked (it worked on an android from 2 months ago).

Why is my data not working properly, or in ION not at all?

What do I do to make it work?

I've just put a 1.5 build on my site. It's mostly the same as vilord's ion build with a few changes and should work fine on kaiser.

It has experimental gps for vogue but that doesn't work on kaiser so switch off the gps before starting google maps.

I used my 1.1 data image and it upgraded fine but you may have to start with a clean data.img so make sure you sync your contacts first.

If you are already using the an ion build then you probably don't need to change.

I'm using the ION build and I'm very pleased with it, but the problem that I have with all the Android build still keeps me from using it as main phone OS.

The battery drain is huge!

I can't work more than a couple of hours on android, where I can use my Winodws Mobile 6.5 for at least 2 days.

I tried differtent battery settings in my startup.txt but didn't find a solution yet.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dzo:
For good power management on kaiser you need pm.sleep_mode=1 and to disable background sync. If you do this, the battery should last a long as under windows.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] loserskater:
And another thing ive noticed is that the battery lasts longer if you remove anything dealing with the battery from the default/startup txt (sorry cant remember the exact line but it was *somthing*=1400)

Ive noticed that when i remove this the phone doesnt get as hot as well.

Am I correct in assuming that the battery is constantly being accessed with this? And if not what exactly does this line do?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] stringbean82:
DZO,

Could you maybe explain a little about the this line: board-kaiser-battery.battery_capacity=4599

Seems in my battery is going 4599 units, but looks like it charges very slowly towards it on the end, faster with no connection, but still a very strange charging curve.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] stringbean82:
Ah ok, might need to do that as well then. see my post above yours regarding the strange charging and decharging curve.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dzo:
I didn't write the kaiser battery code but as far as i understand this it's just for reporting the charge remaining. The actual charging is all done by the arm9 so we have no control of it (it's different on vogue).

Just put the correct data in the startup and you should be fine.
