Hy, I jump in the thread. dzo, I am running Nym's Donut Rs5 installed on Nand Data on SD. I just checked out with uBuntu (Jaunty), and when I try to mount the SD, Android complains that he doesn't have a SD card. I guess that I should reinstall with Data on Nand, may be I'll try on my next install. But we have very little memory in the Polaris, so I'll need to trim Android a bit. There are a bunch of apps I don't like, but I am a bit afraid of removing them as I am not sure it won't make a mess. I'd like to know if there's a Wiki to make my own androidupdate or androidinstall correctly ?

I also wonder how partitionning the SD works. I'm using a 4Go SD with main FAT 512Mo the I made 2 ext2 1.7Go partition. After install, when I plug the SD in my uBuntu PC, I only have the main FAT and one ext2 that shows empty in uBuntu.

Now I am wondering if I should not make the ext2 partitions smaller as I cannot use the one containing the data to pass files from my uBuntu PC to android, and 1.7Go swap must be a bit oversized.

Could you please tell me where I can have some informations about how the installer use the SD partitions and some advise concerning the size that should be used for the ext2 partitions ?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] chourmovs:
i made the same remark

i've gave up and installed both sys and data on nand and tried AP2SD method on incubus

my two ext2 and swap (ext2) partition allow me to activate compcache and swap on incubus

but i'm not able for the moment to say if ap2sd,compcache and linux swap are efficient... maybe later

what do you think about it ?

I also noticed that battery indication with last kernel is very strange

My battery go down after 50% and when i plug my charger and restart my device, battery level is at 70%

I don't understand, it's very odd
[Touch Cruise Android Development] makboy:
I'm confused!!!

i Put on my sd card:

/android

default.txt (new)

data.gz

haret.exe

initrd.gz

system.img

zImage (new)

and dont's work!! search any data.img on my sd card.

I have extrat the data.gz e put in /android/data.img (65mb) but dont work..... :-(

Help me!!!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] adderz91:
sorry if this sounds like a stupid response but have you tried RUNNING haret?

BTW, try not to fill the thread up with the same question, these types of questions have been answered before, reading is the key.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] rogro82:
Just like putting the files in the ROOT of the sdcard has been explained like a 1000 times :)

Well this one makes it 1001... ;)

Better then VMWare for the moment ;-)

You can simply backup your images you use to run your system from.

You can simply run windows in VirtualBox and even flash the phone from the virtual Windows mashine, which is really cool (I have flashed the HTC TC I Borrow from my current work with a VirtualBox-install of windows running in linux-envirement at home).
[Touch Cruise Android Development] rogro82:
Also have virtualbox and virtualpc... but since we only run vmware at work its easier for me to just run vmware.

Im just an @sshole for not making snapshots that often :D

Besides that i still find virtualbox a bit beta like... resuming from save state most of the times doesnt work for me somehow, it just crashes and i have to restart the vm.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] dubbeld00:
Nice job you did on the new zImage! (though my internet isn't working (yes I adjusted the settings (username/password)), slowly it's starting to look like something usable :).
[Touch Cruise Android Development] rogro82:
Did you run togga?

I have to setup a connection in winmo first... so just start IE and connect and then run android and start togga. Works for me everytime.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] radem205:
I don't know if this is known by you (rogro, dzo, etc.), but sometimes after I launch, for example, an application the touchscreen doesn't work anymore (the soft keys are working well) and I have to reboot my device.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] rogro82:
Only when I start the camera app because the cam isnt working... still need to strip out the support which makes it crash.

Also "fixed" the power issue...

I can now turn off the screen with the power button :) But sometimes when i turn the screen back on it has a synch issue so the screen is drawing starts in the middle or another place...

but if i do it a few times it will come back to right offset.... ill look into it and when i think its ok ill upload a new zImage.

Can also confirm that receiving calls work... was just playing when somebody called me :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] radem205:
Nice work Rogro!! The touchscreen doesn't work anymore when I, for example, launch the finger security application (where you can draw a shape to unlock the phone), but also with a few other settings applications (I don't know which one for now). And sometimes when I click in the middle of the screen the registration of that click is in the bottom of the screen (but this is very often).
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bally3:
Nice job on the zimage rogro :)

One other issue to note, I've managed to load it but had to go for din-dins straight after. I left linux running on it, about half an hour afterwards I picked up the phone and it was HOT HOT HOT! :confused:

Any heat issues reported elsewhere? this reminds me of the 3D driver heat issue except that was actually after running applications it got hot. It seems unusual that the phone had no other applications running and still got hot. I get a black screen freeze if I leave the phone running for a bit on this image anyway so I rebooted and all was well again.

Togga hadnt been running but WIFI was, I was able to make a call but of course no wireless or GPRS, I have made no settings changes to the default file as their is no username and password for 3 network in the uk.

But the heat issue is worrying, anyone else want to test this and let us know if you get the same issue please?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] rogro82:
Never noticed a heat issue but then again I reboot android most of the time after 2 minutes to make changes...

Ill try to see if something could be causing it... did you had it connected to your pc or charger?

Besides that ive fixed an issue that would cause android to hang when you would for eg. try to drag an icon, maybe this also solves some other issues.

Also I can turn the screen off and on like stated before... ill upload the new zImage asap

------------------------------------------------------------------------

zImage uploaded

Also full power down now seems to work. Long press the power button and select power off.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] radem205:
Great work Rogro. Screen off works great and, like you said, trying to get the screen on will result sometimes in a displaced screen (but trying it again will fix this).

I have also never noticed a heat issue.

One thing I noticed: The clock is no longer right
[Touch Cruise Android Development] rogro82:
Noticed the clock... this has to do with the change i had to make in the proc_comm... ill try to see if i can fix this today :)

I have it on for about half an hour with screen off/on multiple times but still not hot... its kinda cool actually :D maybe it has something todo with the WIFI bally...

Finally it can be used as a phone... sort off that is :)

Edit:

Proc comm fixed so clock should work again
[Touch Cruise Android Development] radem205:
You are fast Rogro, nice work! Is it possible to map the (original) call button to open the dialer screen?

I noticed that I find it very difficult to hangup a call by pressing the menu button and then press the End call icon (I think it isn't possible at the moment to edit this). Is it possible to make this easier?

But.... take it easy! :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] rogro82:
ill look into it... somehow the button was never mapped... ill try to find out which gpio it is.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] radem205:
Never mind...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] KundK:
Call works fine for me, too. But how can hang up the phone without menu? The red button didn't do it.

I can't connect to the net either. But perhaps it's only local problem. I don't know any ppp username or password. In Winmo I'm connecting to gprs without any parameter.

Neither works the text message. I couldn't send or receive messages. But the incoming messages recieved my phone, because i haven't got it later in winmo and my pal's got a delivery confirmation. :(
[Touch Cruise Android Development] rogro82:
SMS isnt working because of the CDMA Ril... Dzo said he was going to work on one so for now no sms unless someone else want to build one.

As for the gprs... i didnt have to change the username & pwd, i just ran Togga and it worked for me.

But like i said before i do have to make a connection using winmo first else it wont get an ip.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] rogro82:
Still not ok but for now it will do... at least you are able to answer a call using the "call" button and open the call log with it... But somehow also the voicerecord and the Button below the call button now behave the same..

Also mapped the volume button, but as long sound isnt working its not really usefull :) And i think it acts as a switch because both up and down have the same trigger...

Ill take a closer look at mapping the complete keypad correct when i have some more time... Or maybe someone else can look into it.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
Audio input still having problems

I've tried to record using several audio recording applications, like Voice Recorder and their behavior is very erratic. Sometimes they work, sometimes they completely hang the device, or (only) the application.

I'm just reporting and providing feedback. I don't know if DZO is working to solve this.

What are the priorities for now? What are the main goals in the short term?

Does anyone know them?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
I. Think I can confirm the battery improvementin 19-05
[Touch Cruise Android Development] DmK75:
Audio input still not working, but now and wired headset not working too.

[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
great! camera works!

I have to say something about gps

seems to me that in 19-05 worked hot start but not since then or at least it takes a lot more time to get a fix

thanks once more for your job :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] idreadful:
Did your POLA100 started with 24-05? Mine vibed twice, showed me some text running and then hanged. I noticed that some of POLA100 owners are facing with double-vibe problem, some not. So the question is what can be the difference between POLA100?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
with 24-05 camera works for me but not in layar

..shopsavvy works.. strange
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
-Some GPS tweaks in Kaiser/Polaris code that may increase stability. Added a simple HEPE calculation which should give a bit more realistic accuracy readings.

-Some changes for testing, camera changes, fixed minor no for adb, polaris power saving.

yes yes yes YES!

great. ...s o anxious to try the nbh

DZO did you notice about gps seems to make a cold start? previous nbhs got a fix much faster after 1st fix
[Touch Cruise Android Development] ahhl:
can someone upload myn rl5 to somewhere else, symentac detect virus and block the address. mediafire got a bit problem
[Touch Cruise Android Development] KeRmiT80:
i'm using latest 24-5 nbh, radio is 1.59.46.XX (don't remember)

everything is fine except:

gps fix takes really 3 years... so latitude is almost useless and sometimes i miss the signal of the network and on boot it needs a lot of time to register to the network.

should i try a new radio? which nbh is the most complete/stable so far?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:

[Touch Cruise Android Development] dzo:
Yes, I've been trying to find what's causing the power drain on polaris. I made a few changes that might help and the headset should work now. Let me know how it works for you.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
Thanks for all work dzo, i like seeing this thread still a live
[Touch Cruise Android Development] manu33xtro:
Hi DZO,

I will try this for battery because sometimes when my phone is completly discharged and when I plug for charge I can see 73% (it's just for my last test). I think when I used my phone before he stopped I was at 33%... No alert because i was in call...

I try to help you with last_kmsg but the file dosen't exist !

For the headset I can't test because I don't have but I test with my audio car and no way (maybe it's different between a headset...).

Thanks again to improve the kernel :)

Cheers.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] ahhl:
another issue whether can fix the sd card detection. once i unmount, theres no way to mount it back unless reboot
[Touch Cruise Android Development] idreadful:
adb shell mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard

mmcblk0p# should be your correct fat32 partition.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] idreadful:
Almost all new standalone kernels are incompatible with polaris (my polaris for sure). The boot followed with double vibe, inability to enter install menu and continuous boot animation. At the same time many polaris users who uses nand (.nbh) installation have everything ok. Well it's actually the question: are there so many differences between standalone kernel and .nbh? And if yes, can I extract .nbh, get zImage and initrd (they are actually inside, right?) and use them with my ext2 partition.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Badgerfan:
Using 01/06/10 NBH: I'm about 12.5 hours of light use (couple of quick calls, browsed a couple of web pages) so far. Battery is showing at 63%.

This is looking pretty good so far - great job as always DZO! Will keep you updated!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] vanderaatje:
First I want to thank DZO for his nbh files!

second WOW I can see my files on my storagecard on my PC (windows 7)when connected with usb

Also tried DZO NBH file 01-06 but I still don't have sound over my bt carkit (parrot)

After the bt connection with carkit also normal calls incomming and outgoing no sound

reboot phone keeps hanging on (rebooting phone screen)

will do some more tests will keep you guys informed
[Touch Cruise Android Development] vanderaatje:
Great news bluetooth carkit sound WORKING!!!!

I double checked aqtrans file and it seemed that I was still using 1.2 and not 1.3

after task29 and new install with latest DZO file 01-06

bt sound working on carkit and also after that the calls are still working

hmmm I lost my usb drive mapping (was working with 1.2 and dzo 01-06)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
trying 01-06 on NAND with donut

first impressions are AWESOME

battery seems to last much much longer

today i´ll try to collect some data and i´ll post it

great DZO!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
I try the latest 01-06 but i can't fix position via gps. I try also kaffe moded version but i have the same problem. Am i the only one?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] manu33xtro:
It works (for me...)

Hum hum... I use Igo and sometimes for the fun GPS status... Both works but you have to wait between 5 and 10 minutes before to get a valid signal...

I tested the Kallt_kaffe build : same thing. And With Myn's build, Igo is very very slow !!

Cheers.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] orbus:

Hi, I really waiting for Android on Polaris which works with car audio bt kit:D

Can you tell me excatly which DZO and release did you install to Polaris?

(I try to polaimg-panel3...01-06-10, but after reboot blank screen appear and then nothing)

Thanks
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
Did you change the screen type?

I open a new [thread="696837"]thread[/thread] about gps fix
[Touch Cruise Android Development] orbus:
Well, I'm in a bit trouble with screen types:(

I know, that in any of NBH works with only screen type 1. The latest NBH comes with type 3 in here: http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D

What did vanderaatje mean "I double checked aqtrans file and it seemed that I was still using 1.2 and not 1.3

I need a ROM in which camera, and BT car kit works. I "install" tottoo and the camera works, but anything else not:mad:
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
Please, use this tool to change the paneltype. You will only have to take the latest .NBH (paneltype=3) and this tool will configure it to run with paneltype=1 if you want.*

It has been created by looserskater and it works like a charm. It can use even .NBHs made for Kaiser and Vogue!

Download it and read the instructions here:

[Touch Cruise Android Development] orbus:
ok, I try it. Is there any way to know which NBH file do I use? In a log file, or help, about box?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] idreadful:
Two problems...

1st. Does anybody extracted zImage from NBH to use with HARET?

2nd. In the attached picture Shoot U! Game. All the 3d games are displayed like that. Any suggestions?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] vanderaatje:
Hi Orbus,

Indeed you have to change the screen from 3 to 1 (see link from SuperJMN)

About the check I was still using an old version of aqtrans file on my sd card (version 1.2 and not 1.3)

so with DZO file from 01-06-10 (change screen to panel 1)

and aqtrans latest version (1.3)

I had BT working (I'm now testing myn's eclair)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] orbus:
Hello vanderaatje,

Thanks for the information. I will "reinstall" the ROM today. The phone calling is perfect in aqtrans? I tried Myn's eclair and there were some phonecalling problem, when I call someone, he didn't hear me, but I heard him.

By the way, is anybody try tattoo ROM on Polaris. I checked it and the wifi worked and the camera also:confused::confused: but it was bit slow, especially using HTC Sense Home.

I'm waiting for the result of Myn's eclair test:D
[Touch Cruise Android Development] foxct2005:
So "Tatoo Android Rom" Works on Polaris ?

Which have you tried ?

I confirm with Myn's Eclair 4 ... sometimes problems during calls... I don't hear the other side of call...

Bye by Fox!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] orbus:
So I try Tattoo.

I like it:

- Android not boring, slow WM

- not too slow

- HTC Sense is beautifull

Contra:

- Camera not work

- Google account login (Sync Contacts etc...) work only, when the SIM inside the machine

- Wifi works, the browser works, but market return Network error

- Bluetooth: can be turn on, but I can't try anything else

- Camera not works

I think the best Android port on Polaris Myn's Donut (Fast, camera, wifi, bt works, bt works, but in car not)

I think, I'm going to return to WM, and I waiting for a stable port of Android.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] grimpressive:
hi i try asking here too.

nand install with latest polaimg-panel1-320-24-05-10.nbh

on myn donut rls5 + update for wifi/bt.

cannot receive calls.

signal lost often after the only call i can have.

often cannot hang up the second call i do.

any suggestions?:confused:

edit: same issue comes with myn RLS5 and the aqtrans eclair... possibly due to nbh file? (that was the same in the 2 tries)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] vanderaatje:
24/05/10 is not the latest NBH

There is also a panel3 (that you can change to panel1) from 01-06-10

And there is one from kalt_kaffe from I believe today
[Touch Cruise Android Development] grimpressive:
whoah.

dunno there's a tool to change the paneltypes. got a link for me? ;)

2 pages ago. Ty a lot vander and SuperJMN!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] grimpressive:
Oh tried the one from 06-01.

Is only faster in doing the only one call i can have. :(

then signal lost.

Anyway still no incoming calls. Wifi working, but unable to sync with google account (dunno if this is a matter too or a droid limit).:confused:

edit: doesn't switch to "USB" in bootloader mode to reflash other things =(
[Touch Cruise Android Development] foxct2005:
Which Tattoo Android you tried ?

Oh Wow... Htc Sense Android on Polaris !!!

Which Build/Version of Tattoo Android did you try ?

Can you please link me to the thread of version you installed ?

Thanks a lot.

[Touch Cruise Android Development] ZeGuido:
I just noticed that when I plug my Polaris on usb to my uBuntu PC, it is detected : I have an Android Phone icon in the workstation, but I can't open it. At the same time, I get a notice on the phone that I can mount the SD to be able to copy file from the PC to the SD and reverse, but if I try, Android then complains about the SD missing. And I have to reset my Phone.

As I already said, I suppose that having the data folder on the SD card (I supposed this is made using an Alias of the data folder that is on the SD) somehow get in the way, but I don't have any confirmation from anyone that have better knowledge. That may be silly, but, could it be possible to have an image stored on the SD that would be treated by Android as an actual SD (of smaller size of course) so that the data folder wouldn't get in the way ?

Hi, I use VaniljEclair_RLS2 on my Polaris. Is there any way to change the LED light functions. I mean the orange led light, when phone in network and green led light, when I have missing call, or SMS. Inversely like Polaris WM original.

Any idea?

Audio problems are still there I think but battery life should be much better. I've literally spent weeks figuring out how to get power management working well on polaris.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
thanks a lot DZO.. i´m trying each new nbh as soon as delivered:)

I am trying on 2 polaris I have and i would like to tell you a problem i´m having on latest releases.

If the battery fully discharge it is almost impossible to charge. when the phone is on charge it automatically boots. It doesnt charge while booting so it turns off... and so on

the only why i managed to charge in those situations is putting the phone in bootloader for awhile (it charges in bootloader) so it charges a bit and can boot again in android..

is there anyway better to manage this sittuation or is it possible to fix?

thanks again
