I'm not good in linux stuff, i can tell you step by step what i've done:

-Formatted my sd card.

-Created a Fat32 partition as first primary partition and a Ext2 second primary partition.

-I've extracted the content of this pack http://www.wikiupload.com/download_page.php?id=136224 and i putted it in a "Android" folder on the Fat32 partiton of the sd.

-i putted this http://www.wikiupload.com/download_page.php?id=136233 zImage file in the same folder "Android" with the other 2 files.

-I've extracted all the files of this pack http://www.wikiupload.com/download_page.php?id=136222 and putted them all in the ext3 partition of the sd.

-Under Windows Mobile i launched the Haret.exe file.

Here's the result:

I do the same, i had repeat everything, and i have the same error message... it can't find the init.

I will try it with ext3... may it will help... :(

Up: It does't work...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tumblitech:
how can i make the partitions first and second primary level? Sorry for the noob questions...

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ivm164:
Hi,

For those trying run the Android. I found that when extracting Androids rootfs to ext2 partition you have to change the permisssions to non-root. When leaving root permissions Android seems to be loading in circle.

...with non-root permissions Android loads well however it is not so easy to push screen buttons due to yet poor touchscreen calibration

WBR
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xsacha:
Sorry I guess the rootfs I gave wasn't too good for permissions depending on how you extract it. I managed to get this loading in circle issue you talk about when using 7z x file.7z.

I will make the next one in tar format. I've tested it to give accurate permissions no matter which method.

Root permissions are the way android does it by the way. It's the way I always do it and it works. It's some other permissions that 7z doesn't set correctly, I believe.

As for not loading init, can you give any other errors visible? Example: unable to mount unknown fs on (179,2) or such. Does it mount correctly? Are you sure your ext2 partition is the second partition and not the first one?

By the way guys, IMPORTANT:

Add this line to build.prop

ro.sf.lcd_density=96

The default DPI is 160 and our device DPI is 96. Everything will look huge and ugly on default setting! I noticed this in your screenshot. You can try 120 if 96 is too small.

Hi all, I have a problem when i boot android i return me always the same message battery low when i press ok it reboot have you the same problem?

P.S.

Sorry for my english :P
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xsacha:
The battery driver is 'fake' right now. It is set on ~6%. Sorry about this. I am working on the driver right now!

If I remove the driver, the device attempts to shutdown immediately so it needs to be there.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MarkRain:
Much better now, also the animations are smoother, thanks ;)

However i'm not a developer and i'm just playing with this Android, so I have a curiosity:

How far are we from a full working Android on a i780?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xjackassx:
I have always the same problem while i press ok the system shut down :S how you can start android properly?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tumblitech:
I see this (after the line of the "setting system clock"):

Waiting 1sec before mounting root device...

VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) on device 179:2.

Freeing init memory: 120K

Warning: unable to open an initial console.

Failed to execute /init. Attempting defaults...

Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.

I'm pretty sure it's the second drive... How can I know it?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xsacha:
Malkavien

The init is definitely on ext2 drive and not inside a directory? Then I can only assume you don't have executable privilege on init? Try chmod +x init (it should appear in green).

If that solution works then probably you have wrong permissions on everything.

MarkRain:

For fully working android we still need:

GSM Modem

Sound

The right resolution (320x320) -- but that's an android problem.

USB

Wifi/Bluetooth

Battery (but close to finishing this)

xJackassx:

Download one of the newest images. I posted a new updated landscape image that has fixed keymapping for android. The hang up button (Red key) will shut down instead but you can change this in options so that it gives you option to shutdown when you hold it. The OK button will be the back button (exiting a menu).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ginger_Fish:
Same to me. before everything works fine. than i had the Android boot screen but it repeat always. no i have the same Issue like Malkavien.

Kind Regards.

Hi,

How did you extract the rootfs archive? Did you do this under Linux or just copied under Windows + ext2fs driver or something like this?

WBR
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] l.weglarczyk:
hey!

great work on this project!

i was able to boot android, but only to logo. Android is repeating allways, cannot boot to the UI :(. I've extracted everything under linux (tar zxvf ), partitions ar ok (kernel is booting). I thought that this maybe related with realvga, but after hard reset and disabling realvga still the same...i've managed to boot debian tho (which is great...if only i could have networking...usbnet module won't load ;/ still it's awesome...ill try later to compile zhone! for debian armel and see what it can do. it would be awesome to have full debian with gsm support ;]). But, android isn't booting ;/ could anyone give me a hint how i can boot android?

thanks in adv.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xsacha:
Good news guys. Fullscreen Android is here!

I calculated the pixclock for our device, it's 487179 (now I can change screen with ease). I worked out Android doesn't like SQUARE resolutions. I set the screen to 320x319 and IT WORKS!

320x319 Kernel: Enjoy!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] l.weglarczyk:
hey, it's great news!

i've read postabout 7z x ... damn...could anyone upload tar version of rootfs? i want to play with android...maybe i could help a little...not much tho, will see :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hapordigi:
Great job, xsacha, full screen works fine on my i780, however, programs will not terminate when I press the 'OK' button. Seems like that key mappings is invalid in this version.

thanks for your great work!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tumblitech:
Man, you're GREAT! I will do the modifications you said (after some exams) so I didn't try it yet, but you are great! Nice work!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] l.weglarczyk:
allright, it's working...for everyone who sufers from android logo loop:

under linux:

7z x androidrootfs.7z to some directory, then :

chown root /some/directory/where/You/unpacked/android -R

chgrp root /the/same/directory -R

chmod 755 -R /the/same/directory/as/above

and your done :) it's working...

Keyboard mapping is messy, but works :) great!

with best regards,

Android RootFS [33MB Tar ] on second partition

+

Haret Pack on Windows Mobile

+

Kernel on Windows Mobile with Haret Pack

Note: Nothing has changed. I've just put android rootfs in to a TAR for easy permissions handling. The TAR has a few tweaks previous rootfs didn't have though like: screen never turns off, 96 dpi, a calculator, red key doesn't shutdown but hold gives option to shut down, some animation fix.

In regards to keymappings: OK does exit menus. The only problem is using alt+keys. The numbers are all shift to the right for example. You need to change the qwerty.ks (?) file inside android rootfs to fix the keymappings. Thanks.

fixing XDA mini

HI,

It sounds like the mini usb connector on the bottom of your XDA is suffering from bad solder joints. Only way to fix that is to open it up and re-solder them - not an easy job!

It is also possible that your battery has just had it - have you tried replacing it?

Regards,

John
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] NAT_ATC:
yeap! i tried to replace it by another one but it doesn't work.( can not charge,no usb connections, no sync) i think the power chip ( that the way i call it cause' i do not know how to call it) was fail .Everything works well except the mini usb connector. describe it again : when i put the recharger into my wizard it says (" recharging..." "main battery 0%") in about 20 seconds .after that the recharge light start flashing, and if i disconnect the recharger my wizard will shutdown and i have to restart it again.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Crossfire9:
I realize the TP has a mute feature where you can flip it over and it will mute the ring. Something I always have thought it lacked was a feature to mute the microphone on the current call you are on.

This comes in handy to those of us that have to make a lot of calls to different 1800 lines and you want to say bad things about the people on the lines. Or you know, when you need to flush the toilet and don't want the girlfriend to know. Waking up the device and hitting mute is a pain because the mute button is somewhat close to that big END CALL button of doom, which yes, I have accidentally done on a few important calls.

This seems like something that could be easy to implement, if I had any idea of where to start I would. Even if you had to run a program first to enable it, it'd still be a worthwhile tool

besides voiding your warranty should anything go wrong there wont be any trouble from them
[G1 General] mattcam3:
First, there is no need to use all caps, it is much easer on the eyes if you type normally.

Second, no. As we currently understand it, t-mobile does not keep track of who runs what firmware. If they eventually do, it is very unlikely that they would target those using it directly, they would most likely try to just block it in future updates.

wow some people have harsh statements LOL lets keep it civil.

That is right on the t-mobile forums they tell you how to root your phone and use JF's firmware.
[G1 General] Proxin:
^ LOL'D

OP: T-Mobile currently does not have any policy on unlocked and/or modded G1 phones. This came from the mouth of an employee over the phone- the one who pays my phone bill called T-Mobile and asked about it before he allowed me to root my phone.

You have to remember that Android is, after all, supposed to be "open source".

Is there currently any way of tethering the GPS to a computer/laptop so i can use it as a serial or Bluetooth GPS device?

Could this be achieved using scripts similar to the way WiFi tethering is done, or is it more complicated then that?

Also, could an app be written that achieves this?
[G1 Android Development] Master Loon:
I agree this would be a nice feature. Hopefully with bluetooth tether. Can use old wm for gps program
[G1 Android Development] f4phantomii:
This should be possible. Someone would need to write a script or app that takes the GPS position data and outputs it in the standard NMEA format that most other mapping software and/or hardware accepts.

Once you have that, you can perhaps broadcast that via bluetooth or maybe even wifi on a specific port.
