Hi, some bad news and some good news.

The bad news is that Polaris has a different Bluetooth chip to all the other msm7x00 devices, it has a brf6350 I think. I've got the serial port working and the BT chip reset but hciattach doesn't recognise the chip.

The good news is that I managed to get it to work anyway by using hciattach from eclair and the old firmware seems to be compatible. I got it to pair with a headset and it worked fine so it should be ok.

I'll make an androidupdate.tar later.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] luzbel_es:
Thanks dzo!! I will try now! Really thanks for your nice work!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:

Now Bt can discover devices but now Wifi not discover any networks, at least for me.

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

didnt saw the new nbh

maybe an androidupdate is needed too.... or maybe it isnt work for eclair.. i have seen recently fifferent nbh for eclair and donut

can someone try with donut?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] luzbel_es:
Yes i applied a android update too, its in my last post.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
i mean in donut, not in eclair
[Touch Cruise Android Development] luzbel_es:
Ok sorry my english is really bad ;)

Just want to say ..... THANK'S! :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
I don't know what you should do! I have a Pola100 that I bought on Feb-2008 and it's working with PanelType=1 :S
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
do u have a 8gb sdcard?

have u tried with a different card?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] dzo:
Attached is an androidupdate.tar for bt on polaris, you need the latest kernel for this to work. It may break wifi since i made some config changes and the wlan driver needed recompiling.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
great! i´ll test it this afternoon

thanks again
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
DZO .. tested on eclair...

WORKING BT ;)

wifi not working as you mentioned

synced, but without connection to my pc

really willing to try it on my car

we almost have it!!!

i´m really happy to see the bt icon on top of my polaris !
[Touch Cruise Android Development] luzbel_es:
Me too :D

Somebody has try the gps module with this update?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
Gps

I have a question!

Does gps module fix correctly before/after this update or it depends on radio/hardware (pola100/200)/ecc ?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
at least gps starts. cant check signal outside right now... i´ll do the way home
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
i got a quick gps fix in my way home

so it is just bt-wifi related
[Touch Cruise Android Development] niabi:
mine was bought around the same, probably earlier, I have a 2gb card, a 2 8 gb card tried with all of them, same problem :(

I did replaced the sim card holder, and the touch screen (not the LCD panel), since the old one got screwed, but I don't think that should have anything to do with it does it? or... I guess it does :confused:

also I don't think its the memory card, because I've read that if you flash it to NAND and start it without a card you get a message to insert the card, if I flash it (using every panel, and every resolution) I get nowhere hehehe, only colored screens and black screens, nothing more, so I guess I have the ONLY Polaris that does not work on android, lucky me yay!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] paipo:
Hi all,

here is a new version of the kernel, with dzo's latest commit (Tue, 16 Mar 2010 20:52:00 +0000 (09:52 +1300)), and with the double vibration removed, for those of us who have that problem.

@dzo: thank you very much for your excellent work!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] niabi:
guys, anyone know what file handles the panel types? and where can I download the source for it? I think I might want to dig into my problem see if I can find a solution :P (yeah, hard headed... :P )

Instructions for compiling the kernel here.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] raist1976:
with latest dzo nbh dated from 16-03-10, calls where non functionning anymore.

I had to revert to nbh from vilord to get it back... weird.

I even tried to reflash my radio but it didn't help.

Will test again later to confirm... but right now I need my phone as a phone :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
same here on my polaris 100
[Touch Cruise Android Development] niabi:
Wow, I finally got it to boot ! in a very strange way, I had to use panel type 2 to make the data.img it took about 10-15 minutes with blank screen, after that the buttons lighted up but still blank screen (backlight on) so i did softeset I changed panl type to 0 and restarted, this time it booted up! but with the scrambled screen again I left it about 5 minutes if I press the red button it turns off the backlight and this appears after it: mddi early_resume and the touch does not work... but I can see the android screen now! but I can't do anything becasue its asking me to touch the droid to begin! (wow sorry if that didn't made any sense, I am a bit excited :P )
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
I'm glad it booted up this time! I had problems in the past with the newest kernels (NoMoreRootfs based) + HaRET, because it didn't detect any tap in the touchcreen! Since then, I flash my device instead and it works like a charm. Have you tried to flash it using Panel 2?

I don't use HaRET any longer.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] niabi:
No I haven't but really thinking of doing it... the problem is there is no panel 0 nbh that I can find... and panel 0 is the only one that works after i created the data.img... I guess i can just Hex-Edit it and see if that works :P
[Touch Cruise Android Development] paipo:
Bluetooth

For the first time a had bluetooth working in my Polaris, thanks to dzo's update. Audio working like a charm, paired with a Motorola earset,

Thank you very much! As soon as wifi is working, I thing I'm gonna give the big step :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
The value of 0 is for autodetection! So you must have one of the other values: 1, 2, or 3.

You could try with the one that seemed to work. If there's no way, you can always go back to WM (I did myself about 10 times).

Good luck!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
on NAND? wich android are u using?

seems that poly has problems with audio and latest dzo kernel
[Touch Cruise Android Development] dzo:
Audio should be OK now, try the latest kernel.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
Wifi working, too? Using Polymod's.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] paipo:
My setup is:

Myn’s Warm Donut (release 3) running from SD card (FAT32+ext2+ext2)

dzo's 17/3 kernel hacked by myself to remove the double vibrate at boot (see one of my previous post)

dzo's BT update

GPS works

BT works

3G Works (had to manually add APN)

Wifi NOT working
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
oooops didnt saw it (web is down)

can someone provide me another link?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] niabi:
well that's strange, since 1,2 or 3 don't work all of them boot, but 1 gives me 2 scrambled screens one at boot and one after it boots, 2 and 3 just fade to black, 0 is the only one that does work... so its auto detecting something else...???

but still I can't run any other build BUT myn-WarmDonut-02-20-2010-SQSH using panel type 0 and only from haret and its totally unusable... (I am uploading a video to youtube as I type this) do I have a weird polaris or is this really THAT hard???

EDIT: uploaded a youtube video, if anyone has 3 minutes, please take a look : Thanks

Is this the kernel topic or what ever about android polaris?

Hey! tell me which files you want and I will send you them to your e-mail :) (give me your address in one private message)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] manu33xtro:
Hi SuperJMN,

I test it (last version of DZO (18) with Poly) but I've problems with sound of speakerphone... No sound -> little problem if you want to make call :D

Well I post it for DZO ;)

But one very good thing is the BT works very good : only for the files you want to move with other in this mode...

I see in your signature you use NAND : what's your nbh file ? I use now the DZO file "polaimg-panel1-480-14-02-10.nbh" with lcd.density=140

cheers.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] paipo:
Nopes, just dzo's BT fix
[Touch Cruise Android Development] niabi:
no, nothing seems to work... even if I use the same default.txt with another build that is not myn Donut it does not work... :confused:

I am starting to think that my Polaris has something weird...

one question, the panel type handles the LCD right? not the touch panel ?

I am sure this is the Kernel Topic, and thats the reason why I post here, hoping my problem has to do with the Kernel...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] niabi:
Hmm ok.. so I think I found a posibility on why this is weird...

I opened my Polaris and I found out my LCD panel is made by hitachi...

TX0716AAA01 - HITACHI

60H00111-00M -HITACHI

but the 3 panel types for polaris say: 1=Sony 2=Topoly 3=Topoly (probably just the same as 2) I did found out tha the vogue uses 1 for hitachi, but of course that doesn't work for me... is there a way to set the panel for a Hitachi? or I am just out of luck??

or does this even have anything to do with it??
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
Hi and thanks for your interest :) I'm using this NBH:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/and...polariseclair/POLAIMG-PANEL1-320.NBH/download

With it, I get working sound (failing input, though), wifi, data and GPS, but no bluetooth. Wifi sometimes hangs while toggling and makes the device does not sleep right.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
Tried polaimg-panel1-320-18-03-10.nbh with poly´s eclair version

bt..........ok

wifi........not working yet

sound....made a call and woked, havent recieved any as it is 2 am lol

tomorrow i´ll try to pair the phone to my car
[Touch Cruise Android Development] manu33xtro:
Yeah this nbh is a little better than the DZO files version of 14/02.

This version not include BT and works very well for make calls :)

I test again the DZO file of 18/03 but no sound again...

We have to wait for better kernel ;)

Cheers.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] manu33xtro:
Hi, this version work with sound to you ? I'm surprise but good news... Maybe I'm doing something wrong when I use nbh :(

Can you test a call, and check if you have sound with parameters ?

Thanks in advance.

Take a look at this post :) I'm trying it at the moment.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] minhphuab:
Hi everyone! Can you show me how to use NAND to flash the Android into my Polaris. I used the RomUpdateUltility and file .nbh. But the program after flashed about 33%, it appeared "Wrong ID" notification. Do I have to Hard SPL my Polaris? If so, do you give me tools to do that? Where can I find tools to HardSpl for Android on my Polaris?

Thank you!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
Of course!! No Hard SPL, no fun! Be careful, without it you could brick your device.

Please, read the stickies in this forum. You will find the Hard SPL.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] minhphuab:
Thanks for your reply! But I flashed the wrong Hard SPL: nueSPL-2.47 and my phone turned into BRICK now. The power does not turn on when I pressed on it. Are there anyway to rescue my phone?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
Uh ohh... I never faced a situation like yours :( I hope it has a solution, but it might not be an easy one, for sure...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Polarfuchs:
Can you boot into Hardspl? Ot bootloader or how it is called with pressing camera button and power on?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] dzo:
I made a small change that should fix in-call audio, let me know if it works. New NBHs are on my site.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] RgR:
Thank you for the update! Unfortunately the audio (in call but also media) is still not working most of the time with this new NBH. After some fiddeling I once got it working for a few minutes, but now the device is completely silent again. The strange thing is that the handsfree-loudspeaker IS working when selected but thats not really useable for most conversations... I hope there is an easy fix...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
For me, with this new .NBH I cannot activate neither wifi, nor bluetooth. I installed no updates, just Polymod's 2.1g.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] dzo:
I've just put a new NBH on my site, audio works perfectly for me and I've got the volume control working for handset and speakerphone (possibly also headset). BT works for me too (using the eclair hciattach that i posted earlier). Wifi will need the driver to be recompiled (the kaiser driver loads but doesn't work).
[Touch Cruise Android Development] RgR:
Great, thank you! I'll try it!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] osilvan:
Does audio input work with this kernel?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
With the newest .NBH (22-Mar-2010) I have tried to make a call and I didn't hear nothing. Also, no wifi.

I think I don't have many options:

If you want BT, you won't have Wifi, nor sound.

If you want Wifi, you won't have BT.

Moreover, there are a lot of problems like the inability to mount the SD card.

Also, when you plug in the USB connection, an annoying notification will drill ears every few seconds.

:(
[Touch Cruise Android Development] RgR:
I also still can't hear anything with the latest NBH. Sometimes, right after a (silent) call, I can hear beeps when I press the volume-up or volume-down buttons for a few seconds. The handsfree-speaker is also working when enabled. But other than that I can't get any sound out of my device...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
Are you working on that? My podcast are 15 MB each one :P
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
you can disable sd notificartions
[Touch Cruise Android Development] minhphuab:
I have rescued my phone recently. Its flash rom was dead. I had to replace the new flash rom and it worked:D. Now I scare to Hard SPL and I just use Android by HARET for safety.:mad:
[Touch Cruise Android Development] niofar:
Hi, I tried your NBH (polaimg-panel1-320-22-03-10.nbh) in my pola100 and the audio is not working properly (sometimes it works, sometimes not), and bt is not working for me. I have no problems to mount sd card.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] paipo:
dzo,

since january I never managed to get android booting on my POLA100 properly (using FAT32+ext2+ext2: I still need my WinMo for work) . So I decided to dig into your code, to find the reason.

After some time I found that the double vibration introduced in commit d27abcd099216045f40d73bb942954cb771dfbdc messed with touchscreen detection. And reading the forums, Nike users also have the same problem.

Next problem: wifi. It was also broke, and none of the different patches I found in myn's thread solved the problem. Again I went into regression testing your code, and I found the problem lies in commit 3ea27aa3d588e850c793769e7cac040a0183b321, in file vogue_defconfig. I reverted to the previous version, applied the wifi and BT patch, and now both are working.

So, the big question, how can I help you fix these problems? I would be very thankfull if you can give me some pointers were to go from here.

Greetings from the other side of the world! :-)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] dzo:
Ok, I made these changes for polaris, I don't know why the vibrate would mess things up, it could be the vreg command (sir) just afterwards since this switches on the i2c interface for the ts.

The other change is to disable unsafe resume since the old wifi driver was compiled without this, this just means that the sd card won't power down on suspend but that's not a problem.

I haven't tested these changes at all. Do you need me to make NBHs?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
Yes, please. That way we could test it to see it that solves some of our (abundant) issues.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] dzo:
OK, done.

[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
no luck for me either... had to try :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] dzo:
Kaiser wifi won't work because it uses a different gpio, but the old Polaris module should.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] DmK75:
I think Polaris module working: it normal turn on with updated wlan.ko

But cannot scan nets.

Maybe because lacks of any files within system or wrong configuration.

Thanks dzo and paipo for all your work so far.

With this latest batch of NBHs, I think I'm getting a panel-related error. I've always used panel type 3 and everything has been fine. Now, using the latest NBH for panel type 3 (29th March), I get a white screen just after where the double vibration used to be. I tried the other two panel type NBHs and got the same. Just thought you should know.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] w04g005:
Yea same for me...also panel 3 (all resolutions) Not working only whitescreen !

By the way thanks very much
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
Isn't that a regression? What we would really like is to keep all the other advances like BT and GPS, in addition to wifi :)

Could it be an specifically compiled kernel and updates for Polaris? everything is made for Kaiser and Vogue. It's OK that Vogue has more users, but our device at least has a wifi connection! :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] dzo:
No, it's not a regression, polaris wifi has always been different to kaiser, I remember lots of effort went into compiling the wifi module. I made some changes that broke it but have reverted them so it should work now. I do have a polaris but am really busy at work so just don't have any time.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] paipo:
Well, I have mixed results. On sunday, wifi was working and Bt turned on (though I had no headset to test). But yesterday afternoon Wifi stopped working. I will have to reinstall ths system again, when I heve the time.

I didn't test these mods with Poly's build, only with myn's...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
We do not have enought time to say thank you for your job.

I think the point is polaris users (me included) are getting a bit nervouse becouse they see the progress in other mobiles.

Anyway THANKS A LOT DZO
