Two choice :

-zip package from dzo + {zimage from biktor_gj (only zimage is newer )} = 1.1SDK

-f00bar version =1.5 SDK visual keyboard integrated :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] marcelkordek:
@imfloflo:

which screen resolution do you use in 1.5 ?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
in 1.5 i use this default

#Polaris
set RAMSIZE 0x08000000
set MTYPE 1723
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz

set cmdline "mddi.width=240 mddi.height=320 pm.sleep_mode=0 board-htcpolaris.panel_type=0"
boot

1.1 default can be found in previous post's thread
[Touch Cruise Android Development] marcelkordek:
thanks, use this too... but not all apps works with this resolution...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
17FPS with lastest dzo's files.

But prefere the clarity of 1.5 version for the text and the visual keyboard integrated.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Michel82:
Thanks for all quick responses. I'd lile to test the 1.5 version, but i'm still somewhat in the dark here.

1. Biktor's latest is removed from rapidshare. Any mirrors?

2. Do i replace both the initrd and the system.img, or just the system from f00bar?

Thanks again
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
To try f00bar version download the lastest package from dzo goto where you find f00bars files and override all files from dzo wit f00bar.

(if there is 2 files in f00bar site override only this 2 files) don't know if it 's really clear :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Michel82:
Ok this is what i got so far:

- Latest DZO package from http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D

- Both initrd.gz and system.img from f00bar from http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=001888caeaf3c584d956df2962098fcbe04e75f6e8ebb871 (tried without initrd first, but that doesn't work)

This is my default.txt:

#Polaris
set RAMSIZE 0x08000000
set MTYPE 1723
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz

set cmdline "ppp.apn=internet ppp.username=t-mobile ppp.password=t-mobile mddi.width=240 mddi.height=320 mddi_client_vogue.vsync=0 pm.sleep_mode=0 board-htcpolaris.panel_type=0"
boot

But i cannot seem to get my internet connection working. I set up the APN in android which gives my the G icon. But togga won't let me connect, the connect button just does nothing. Is this a known problem?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] jacusah:
I have the same problem on Nike. Using the "modem" application should work.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Michel82:
Thanks! That brings me one step further, the browser works. Now for the most important function: The google login/sync procedure doesn't work. It keeps saying i don't have a data connection after a timeout period. Some more quick solutions ?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] jacusah:
I am afraid I have no solution for that. I also cannot get this to work with 1.5.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Michel82:
Too bad, 1.5 looks very promising. The screen is very clear and without the scaling everything is much faster and responsive. Strange browsing and maps work, but the google login doesn't. One would say this uses the same connection procedure?!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
Sorry but i think it's better to speak here for your probleme http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=473102&page=23

This thread is a development thread ;)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Scalap:
When F00bar first released his 1.5 version of Android, he did warn us that signing in the google account (with Market, Gmail, etc.) won't work because Google decided not to accept People with the Cupcake release on other device than the G2 or G1.

So you have to do it in 2 steps :

1°) With the Dzo files, you register into the google market

2°) Replace the Dzo system.img and the initrd.gz by the ones of f00bar.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bbezja1:
why would they do that? any special reason?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
I think it's adeal between Google and Constructor, like that they can sell new device instead of let user of XDA mod their phone to have a fully Android working.

BTW: back to the thread plz.

His anyone have see rogro82 ?

And is a DZO 1.5 release planing? cause polaris doesn't have keyboard and VK is really needed.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Michel82:
@imfloflo

Sorry 'bout polluting the thread, i didn't know it would take me this many posts to get a sort of working set of files and instructions scraped together. I think version management i still an issue.

I hope i don't offend anyone, but to keep all 'get SDK 1.5 working' information together i'd like to react to scalap;

@scalap

I reverted to dzo's system and initrd. Logged in to google and synced my contacts/calendar and gmail. Then placed f00bars files over the installation again, but then it doesn't boot anymore. Am getting the new android logo, but it hangs there. Darn! So close...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bally3:
I wouldnt worry too much about polluting or hogging the thead since you are addressing issues that other users will be experiencing. But since this is a development thread I would ask you to continue you this in the testing thread and see whether we can find a resolution to the issue :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] marcelkordek:
running f00bars 1.5 since the last 3 days... working great. the only issue (also in 1.1) after sleep i have no audio =( how can we fix this? and how can we fix the sdcard issue in 1.5?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] biktor_gj:
If you want you can try my latest packed bootkit. It has f00bar's 1.5 android userspace and my latest kernel build (including the last git changes for the polaris -vibra & keypad backlight fix, different ts calibration values by radem)

Just remember not to use my default.txt since it's for the Nike.

Can get it at rapidshare:http://rapidshare.com/files/228602070/Bootkit0503.tar.gz

Regards!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bally3:
Current build results:

No connection on togga - does not even try to connect (using apn settings in default file, didnt set anything in Android).

No Audio and when put on vibrate, the phone just continues to vibrate and cant be stopped.

Screen orientation is correct.

Couldnt connect to 3G so couldnt test market - sorry.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] briggs81:
Try the modem.apk app maybe instead of togga? Have to download it from somewhere..
[Touch Cruise Android Development] TomAngel:
So SD-Card any longer?

Hi all together,

got Android 1.5 working with internet connection, but I can't access my SD-Card any longer...

It reports no Card inserted!

Any idea for solution... ( Boot parameters ).

Can't use 1.1 because of missing soft keyboard.

Thanks
[Touch Cruise Android Development] biktor_gj:
That's a known issue. It happens because at the time android boots the sd card is already mounted, and Android doesn't send the event to the rest of the framework to let all the apps know that the sd is in fact mounted.. It can be corrected by changing a line on the code and recompiling, but there's no fix for this actual build. I'm pretty sure f00bar will fix it on the next release.

About the connection, you must use the provided modem application to connect instead of using togga.

About the audio, it's quite screwed. On my nike I have no audio at all, and when I press volume buttons part of the android core applications crash and restart...

But that's the same behaviour on 1.5 with all our phones I think :(

EDIT: forgot to say, google login services seems screwed too...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] TomAngel:
Thank you, audio worked for me, modem app too. I could browse and use Google Maps and so on, except Google Account expected apps. But I knew that...

What I didn't knew was the SD-Card issue!

But isn't there any way to get a working OSK on 1.1 Package?

What about this ...? http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/c743b2b8537be560
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
The vibration bug on moving icon is gone but still here when i push down the volume and set vibrator mode for my device. the vibration stay block.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Michel82:
Google login can be fixed by CLEAN installing 1.1 first, boot and set your google account and sync. Do nothing more than that (don't make any other settings or 1.5 won't boot). Reboot and overwrite initrd and system.img with f00bars et voila; 1.5 with internet (by modem app instead of togga) and google services.

Loving it: am using Gmail with an actual cupcake OSK.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] sblaster:
edit : oups sorry wrong topic

The worse is that i initially posted my first question on the other topic.... So i'm deleting it here, and replace it by a developpment one :

Can i use the eclipse debugger (with the correct Android plugin) on my Polaris? Since i'm running on Mac Os, i've installed all the stuff (SDK & Plugin), all is working, and copiling... but when I plugged my Polandroid, it does not appear in the device list...

Some trick ?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] briggs81:
How can you set up your google account sync with your polaris if you are using 1.1 and no on screen keyboard? You need to enter your gmail un/pw don't you?

edit: oops, what he said up above :D
[Touch Cruise Android Development] marcelkordek:
you can try q&d keyboard to enter your account info's

[Touch Cruise Android Development] Michel82:
I thought you were the devel ...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bally3:
No Development isnt dead, a weak of inactivity doesnt mean its died.

You may have noticed though that the Polaris end of the Android project is alive solely from the efforts of dzo and biktor - both non-Polaris owners - and few Polaris users, so we should be grateful there is any development going on at all on this project.

I'm confident that the Android project can and will continue to the completion of a full working kernel. Recent updates have shown that barring a few hiccups from the move from 1.1 to 1.5 (an important move for Nike and Polaris users), the recent builds have been very stable. Some of the missing functionalities (Wifi, Camera, Bluetooth etc) is either being worked on or will be resolved by drivers from the G2 it is hoped from my understanding.

There is little hope for us Polaris users in trying to get Polaris owners developing on the project it seems. Looking around the entire forum, development has almost stopped on roms or any other Polaris related developing.

I recently bought a Hermes for the missus and looking on the Hermes thread, I was surprised to see so much rom development going on still for a device much older than ours. Someone asked a while back why the Polaris device development has stopped so quickly and there isnt an obvious answer for this, it could be because a lot of the users who bought Polaris devices, bought them on 12 month contracts instead of the 18 month contracts that came with the Kaiser, which when they expired offered them the newer devices that seem to have taken all our devs or it could be that users frustrations of the poor 2D performance of the device was the reason they upgraded - we'll never know.

What we do know is that thanks to the marvellous and combined efforts of devs from all devices involved in the Android project, we are steadily getting to nearer to that day when our device will no longer be shadowed by poor performance/os issues and we can hold our heads up and be proud of being Polaris owners again! :)

In the meantime, lets be honest as frustrating as it is to wait for new developments - isnt it a lot of fun, playing with new builds and waiting with baited breath to see what is developed next? :p

@imfloflo and others

I wonder why you asked so often for Android 1.5 image.

I use dzo's http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/android.zip from 2009-04-20 and have a OSK in there.

Unfortunately I have no osk in the virtual terminal.

An issue is, that I only can ping the internet by ip's, not by fqdn.

I also have working telnet connection via usb0

[Touch Cruise Android Development] excogitation:
I think you could try setting up an APN with your router's IP.

Don't know what you need to change in initrd to get resolv.conf working (maybe some dns daemon?).
[Touch Cruise Android Development] marcelkordek:
use dzo's latest zimage... work very stable and i have no audio problems...

i notice that the button mapping is very strange, vol up and down is now menu and menu is now vol down...

Hy,

I'd like to give a try at Android, so I read the wiki and downloaded the latest files available from your experiment. Installed the files on the SD card. I understand I should edit the default file to make it work especially the ppp.username and ppp.password.

As I don't know where to get these informations (using Orange france -business-), I decided to give a try anyway, just to see if it boot.

I get Haret running, if I hit "listen network connection" I have a spinning wheel (not surprising given what I said above). I tried the run button. I get a Haret booting linux message with progress bar, but it freeze when the bar is full.

Could you tell me this failed booting is due to the ppp.username and ppp.password not being set or if there are other detail I misunderstood ?

Thanks.

Is this modification only in the kernel side or does we modify the system.img too ?

Is compatible with 1.5 release ?

I created a new google account with only 10 contacts, deleted some files in main memory ... and i got 1.5 working with DZO's Kernel (22/06) size 1.4M

So i'm now sure my problems came from memory free size

Where can i find memory mapping for android:

-Kernel from addr x to addr y

If the wiki is not up to date, where can I find the most recent files?

Keep up the good work guys! Android is sweet! My Polaris feels 10 times faster with it!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
You can find most recent files in this thread and combine with kaiser thread and dzo's site
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bally3:
imfloflo, have you managed to get Market working with 1.5 files yet? And can someone post up the working 1.5 files to avoid repeat questions. Thanks :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] smaaland:
Hmm.. Seems a bit complicated to look through these 129 pages plus other threads and pages for the most recent files. And will all Kaiser files work on the Polaris?

The wiki page is a great distribution channel, and it would be great to always find the latest working files there, with information of working/non-working features.

Cheers!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bally3:
It would be great for the wiki to be kept updated but apart from exco no-ones taken any responsibility for keeping the wiki updated. Its a great suggestion but as exco has mentioned many times before you can do this to help the project as well.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] xdadeverik:
Biktor, thanks so much for releasing a new version. I'm now happily using Android. It runs really smoothly now. And now, for the first time I think it's ready for mainstream usage. I will miss being able to use GPS and my camera. When really needed I can switch back. But I have a dedicated tomtom now, so I won't be needing the polaris as a tomtom.

I really love the apps that are available for android. It seems that a lot of things have improved in terms of responsiveness and battery usage. Great work, also DZO.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] smaaland:
Hi guys!

I am having some issues with booting Android on my Polaris. It used to work, but now it does almost never work. Right after the Haret screen disappears, I just get a messy picture woth a lot of colored pixels (And after a long while, when the dispay times out, I press the power button and sees the lock screen in Android which tells me to press the menu key, but nothing happens when I press any key at all). This usually happens when I have tried to install apk-files to in the "AndroidApps" folder (Seems I can't get a lot of them to work, only some). The thing is, it wont work anymore at all. I have removed all android files from my SD root, the apk-application files, any folder created for a android application and so forth, and put the original files there again. But now it seems that it'll never boot again. This just happens over and over and over again.

Any ideas on what to do?

Thanks!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] ZeGuido:
I'd like to post a success report : :D

Thanks to DZO great work (and probably some other not as known) and to ImFloFlo's advises I can run Android 1.5

From here I took android-1.1-25-04-09.zip and switched these files initrd - system.img from the same location.

Also I found why I couldn't get on any network. I have to switch off the pin request when running WM6.1

For those concerned about it I run Radio 1.59.42.15.

Once again thanks a lot, this might not be fully fonctionnal, but it gives me an idea of what can be expected from Android.

:cool:
[Touch Cruise Android Development] excogitation:
the latest kernel is always here. changelog

broken for Polaris atm.

If improvements specifically for Polaris are made - it should be on the wiki.

There is no central place for the latest Cupcake/1.1/1.5 images afaik - though it would be a good idea.

Seems something is broken atm.

Data.img is the place. It doesn't grow by itself. It has some free space inside - if you need more:

Howto resize data.img

what a shame. ;-)

Most recent files is not particularly interesting imo.

Most usable files - yes.

So what are the most usable files?

I thought Cupcake because of osd,

then again 1.1 because of working google services,

but now with 1.5 that might be different again.

Use your backup of a working set of files or the set mentioned below.

Wait till it gets fixed.

Okibi posted a test system image and zimage with bluetooth and wifo drivers included but loaded.

You can get them here:

http://ratedo.com/android/

Post up your findings :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] smaaland:
Nice. But unfortionately neither Bluetooth nor Wi-Fi seems to work on the Polaris with these files. Wi-Fi just says "unable to start", and with Bluetooth, nothing happens when I try to start it.

Button mapping is weird, and it also has the same booting problem as the others (descibed earlier in this thread by me).

I really hope there will be a version that supports Wi-Fi soon! :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bally3:
yup.. same here.. though I had much less problems getting it to boot than te previous files.

Wifi is a biggie for me as is the camera, which I'm really interested in seeing as I feel that the jerky camera issue may disappear in Android (fingers crossed!). Bluetooth is a non-essential for me as I only use for the odd file transfer but working wifi will mean I'll probably start usng Android full time.

Has anyone got Market working with the 1.5 image for our devices yet? I'm about to check it..
[Touch Cruise Android Development] excogitation:
No one said bluetooth nor wifi were working - just that the (some) necessary files are included.

As soon as it is working on Kaiser/Niki - I'll try to get it working on Polaris - if nobody else does it first.

All the excitement over the last few days from the 2D/3D drivers seem to make this project look like its gone quiet.. rest assured its still on track.

I've decided now that I 'm sticking with my current rom as its the only one that reliably boots Android. The current build is giving me issues with Market which refuses to load. I read on the Kaiser forum that opening an app that accesses the internet like Opera using 3G helps, so I'll try that tomorrow and see how that goes.

It does my heart good to see this sudden invigoration of development and roms for our dear Polaris :)
