OK

Thanks plemen, the problem is :

1) I didn't find that informations provided by you in mssmisonpackage.zip

2) the mssmisonpackage.zip should be ok out of the box. I.e. you just have to unzip it in the root of Sd card. This isn't the case. Other mssmison versions, instead, worked this way

Just another information. How is the progress on Kaiser camera ? Under win mobile the camera is awful, so i'm hoping that with android this will be better.

Thanks again.

Hello all,

as some of you have perhaps noticed, we Nike users also have Android nearly full working. So first of all, thank you very much for you excellent work. :-)

I know this is a Vogue Forum but nevertheless a question to the Programmers. Do you see any Chance to fix the Volume problem in Nike ? "In Call" Speaker Volume is always set to maximum and is incedible loud. No way to reduce it. Volume Controls do not work. You can see the volume bar, but nothing happens.

Maybe there is a command line tool in Android Linux to set Volume by using userinit.txt ?

Perhaps it is possible to recompile a system where initial volume is set to, let's say "3" instead "5" ?

Greetz, lagloose

BTW: Setting of Ringtone and Media Volume works perfect...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] ruizit0:
for kaiser we have to change that included default.txt to work...

hmm.. plemen .. what is that from renamining the hero/roger/ion to user.conf ? hummm

i never renamed that and boots ok...

is that only for vogue ?

can anyone explain what is that files and if they are only for vogue ?

thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mssmison:
you don't have to use one of the *.conf files to boot my package build and it runs good. I'm using all of the files in that bundle myself, although I'm vogue not kaiser,
[Touch CDMA Android Development] plemen:
Correction - you don't need to rename the conf file - just the zimage.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] themac:
Uhm, i didn't understand :confused:

Let's begin again :

I downloaded your mssmisonpackage.zip. Unzipped in root of sd (deleted all old files of previous versions)

Haret doesn't boot. Did i do something wrong ?

I can check again, if needed, but i am sure other packages made by you worked just unzipping them.

I'm not a noob (as one can think looking at my no. of post) ;)

Thanks, anyway. Your work is really appreciated !

[Touch CDMA Android Development] mssmison:
k moving forward please put questions from my builds in my release thread. You need to rename zimage--oldbuttons or zimage--newbuttons to zimage. As well rename ion.user.conf to user.conf. Boot and enjoy.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] garringm:
Id on't know how much of the tweaks are used in the user.conf files but swap isn't I booted without these files and worked like a cham. I do believe these files are more directed towards the hero builds as they do need them. No you do not have to rename them if you do they won't be picked up on boot atleast that was my experience after reading this. Look at the thread that was created for this and you will find they were built for user friendliness all you need is to add the system.whatever to the root of your sdcard and your good to go. No name changing of anything but the zImage of choice.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] themac:
Ok, everything clear now.

Thanks, again ! :D

TheMac
[Touch CDMA Android Development] ruizit0:
ok can you link me to the post that talks about that files ?

even if i dont need them to boot i want to know for what they are made :D
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
I repackaged Google Ion in squashfs format and put up a new package that includes the new basefiles and all the default.txt and haret.exe for new users.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] gnovak99:
So this update isn't for the people that already have their OS dialed in and email set up?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] catchfire:
looks as though the system in the Google ion zip is named system.img instead of system.sqsh...... ;)

maybe take a nap zenulator. you've been working too hard :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Ok I fixed it. If you downloaded the squshfs bundle yesterday just make sure the system image is named system.sqsh and not system.img.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
umm, did you sleep last night? hey, just so you know we all appreciate you and the rest of the gang!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
yes and no....the system image is the same it's just in a squashfs format so you get better compression and a little speed improvement. you can still use your same data.img that you already have setup. i just wanted to put up a bundle so that new people start with the newest files possible for the best overall experience. ion is supposed to be the "official build" so there needs to be a bundle for it.

What doesn't work in this build, just MMS and full GPS?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] frad:
Hi all, just wanted to say I am very impressed... wow.

Some questions... do your phones get kinda hot using it? Can I actually leave android running full time?

I read in an earlier post that camera support is not there yet... I was messing around with the SnapTell app on DZo's build.... if any of you have played with it on the iPhone... its pretty slick.... works great on the Vogue too. Can't wait to have that support here in your build. The keyboard is the reason I will stick with it for sure.

So if I want to try out new builds... should i be deleting all the old files? or should i just replace some of them? I guess syncing my contacts back is easy enough... but it would be cool if I did not have to reinstall any apps i download.

Either way just wanted to say... great build... i am always surprised by what this little phone is capable of. :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] lotherius:
Put all files as listed in the original post on my SDCard, edited default.txt (panel type was 3)... but I get an error on booting during the linux screen, and it dumps me to a command prompt.

It says:

Please wait... extracting Data Image

gzip: can't open '/sdcard/data': File exists

Failed

Failed to extract Data Image

/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

~#
​

(EDIT)

Figured it out - I had reset the phone during the flashing white screen when trying to get default.txt working, and it left a half-written data image on the phone. It is too stupid to delete the image if it is broken, so I deleted it myself and now it seems to be loading, but is now "stuck" on extracting data image, and doesn't seem to be moving. It has been several minutes - how long is this supposed to take??
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mfpreach:
You just gotta replace the sys.img and the initrd.gz (if posted)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
halp? :( :(
[Touch CDMA Android Development] lotherius:
Several tries later, still no luck. Discovered that you have to (apparently) extract data.gz to data.img which is a 128mb file (after 10 minutes it had only extracted 10mb on my phone in the launcher) so I did that from my PC, and now it fails again with the following:

Copying sounds

cp: cannot preserve permissions of '/sdcard/media/audio/alarms': Operation not permitted

cp: cannot preserve permissions of '/sdcard/media/audio/notifications': Operation not permitted

​

and then just sits there.

So obviously there are things required to be done to get this working that aren't listed.. What am I not guessing?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
try diferent pannels but now it doesnt pass the haret: booting linux it.... freezes...

no white screen tho :(
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mfpreach:
For me it takes about 5 minutes after I launch Haret and it is extracted upon first launching linux, maybe your SD card is bad?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] njakobs:
Great work vilord, got a pay pal? would love to buy you a beer.

Cheers
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mfpreach:
Do you have your files in the right place? Just put EVERYTHING on the root of your SD. You don't really have to put everything there, but just to fix this problem just put everything on the SD root then run haret.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cybik:
I'm confirming that the bug is also present on the 21-2 release.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] oxsolid:
confirm short initial load

Ua fresh load takes me about the same amount of time. And after signing in all my contacts and apps auto load on their own in the background.

Also someone mentioned the phone running hot, mine does too but I've heard that most CDMA phones do.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] wbuju123:
now i dont know if it is just mine or someone else is having the same problem. i am using an alltel vogue flashed to metropcs, now the whole marketplace and contacts sync dont work gives an error, now is it because to get internet working with metro we have to do a proxy so that means that our stuff wont work and can someone modifies the files where it extracts the data files on the phones memory since the sd card in the vogue can not be written to. i have seen soo much post about tapping the card and all the nonesense but all this work is truely appreciated, apart from these lil kinks yall work is the sugarhoneyicetea
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cybik:
Sorry for the spamming but scratch that. The june-20 build just started doing BadSMSEncoding errors to me... :(
[Touch CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
A note on performance: Everything seems to cruise right along, but when I go Home most of the time it takes 5-10 seconds for my icons to show up. are other people seeing this also? Are there any settings I can change? I know about the max app, it doesnt seem to help in this case.

EDIT: At first I thought it was my widgets, but I've since removed all of them and still see this.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mssmison:
Have you tried my ion builds? They are reported as being a little faster for some people.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
I'll give it a go when I get home tonight. Hope it works with vilords init and dzo's latest kernel as there is some some good stuff going on there.

Thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mssmison:
Of course it does. The system.img is totally separate from the zimage and initrd. :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] oxsolid:
seriously, thanks for the hard work

vilord -

I'd like to get you one too! I know this is a lot of hard work, and I see you posting updates almost daily... You must enjoy programing this for your own benefit, but there are a lot of plp out here that are benefiting too, and I for one appreciate your skill and dedication.

Thanks!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
The reason I'm doing so many updates is twofold.

First, I do enjoy doing it, and I'm really getting happy with the results. I'd begun to loath windows mobile, and this was a very welcome change.

Second, I'm trying to make a career move into development, and also move to the Boston area at the same time... So this is a great little side project I can mention in interviews ;)

I suppose I'll add a donate link to the first page, but honestly I'm doing this for me as much as for anyone else.

Wbuju, once we get a working camera and gps I'll look at building a flashable install that'll go on the phone's memory, but until then, most people want to leave their WM installation intact. Proxy settings are in settings->wireless controls->mobile networks->access point names->Android
[Touch CDMA Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
vilord-

I REALLY like msmissions themed ION build 2, aesthetically speaking; but if yours has a major performance adjustment or any other improvement I'll bite the bullet and sacrifice looks..Is there any real difference between yours and his? (aside from the theme, obviously)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zakkain:
camcorder, but that's a given, really.

This latest Ion package is RIDICULOUSLY fast. I love it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
besides the above, bluetooth has minimal functionality. battery calibration with temperature isn't perfect. GPS will work on google maps, but not with any software that requires speed info (one-click GPS works, but not all functions; NDrive, copilot will not work). Some people occasional do not receive phone calls and SMS messages, but most people seem to have no problems with this.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fireshaper:
Thanks for the answers, guys. I guess I'll be going back to the "official" build. I really like having a camera in the builds.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
If your refering to the Google Ion bundle it is the official build and works the same as usual. Camera, gps, partial bluetooth, sms all work fine. It's the same android-1.5 from 08-08-09 that vilord put up just repacked with the new base files and in squashfs format.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
There are many cameras on the market that work with all builds. pro paint camera is my favorite.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fireshaper:
I always seemed to have problems with htc cam and other cam apps in other builds. But this one is fine, works great, stable, and really fast with sqsh.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
yes i noticed that as well but camcorder still doesnt work but doesnt crash either
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
eventually the camcorder will work when someone writes the code.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
hey zen is there anyway to skin this taskbar from white to black?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] skydirt:
Is GPS not working just an Ion build thing? Anyone know what build that has GPS working?

To clearify I mean GPS with apps like Ndrive and Copilot. I know googlemaps works to find my location as does Ndrive and Copilot, but none of the apps continuously track my location so using them for navigation is impossible.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
this has been discussed. we do not have full implementation of GPS. build does not matter, as the GPS code does not lie in the system file.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] kylo77:
few questions on latest builds

It's a few weeks since I've looked a the android builds and have a few questions about the included files. I have the latest ION build from the download site.

What are the additional default.txt files for? Hero and ion user.conf? rootfs?

Also I loaded ION on to my vogue and it boots up with my old default.txt and data file. Connects to the network and applications run smoothly but when I hit the green call button to use the phone the acore force close window pops up. I've reformatted and rebuilt my SD card already but with no success.

Any ideas on what might be wrong here?:confused:

Does bluetooth work in this build?

thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] canyoufindben:
No, while location fixes works fine, things like tracking, compass, and velocity are not working yet. We need someone to code for it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
ummm...i agree that compass n speed is a no-go but i dunno about the navigation 'impossibility' as i've used both gmaps and copilot for navigation. Maybe it's a radio issue you've got?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] skydirt:
Without trying to be, or sounding rude, the hotlink you so kindly included in "discussed" to your response post quoting anothers post that referes to "this build". This does not answer my actual question. As I read your post already before I made mine, and the others before that, I had deduced that "this build" which was mentioned, is referring to Ion as this is an Ion build thread.

That is why I asked if this was an only an Ion build issue, which was clearly not indicated by your post you linked in "discussed". I wanted to know if other builds had GPS working. Donut? Cupcake? etc. clearifying that this an android-port-to-vogue issue and not a flavour-of-andoid-build issue.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] skydirt:
This is why I'm trying to clearify things. Is it just Ion thats having this issue? or are other android builds behaving the same way.

gmaps works fine for me as I mentioned. Even Ndrive and Copilot lock on but do not track as I move. A radio issue with me? possibly. I use GPS with WinMo daily with Garmin with no issues and since others in this thread claim the same disfuctions regarding GPS, I tend to not lean towards the radio being at fault.

You say you have copilot working? You can go from point A to B and have it track like a normal NAV device? You seem to be in the minority, what Android version are you using? are you using a vogue?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
Yea, I'm using a vogue and if i'm not mistaken i used it on the Hero port..lemme run it again on xRom n see if the same holds true..i guess i should put this further disclaimer out there: my experience in functionality was about 2 weeks ago..just sayin..i'll run it again n report back
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Gps works in the ion build. It works fine in Google maps. I've had it track me for miles right to my parking spot. And the "new ion build" is the same build from 08-08-2009. Nothing changed. The gps functionality isn't build specific it's built into the rootfs.img that all the builds use.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] skydirt:
I tested this this after work. gmaps works fine and tracks me, but I think it tracks differently then NAV apps (CoPilot, NDrive) do because I then took a small trip trying to get either one to work and they will not track.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
google maps does use a different method. it was talked about before. in this thread or the kernel thread.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] bally3:
Some good news, I've emailed vilord and he has replied back that he is well and has moved house now and hopes to return to the forums in a weeks time.

Sounds like he's been keeping himself really busy, the good news is that he says he has found a new screen for his damaged vogue screen and should be able to continue with vogue development as well when he returns.

umm, I believe we've all said the same thing here. no full gps implementation. build (i.e. ion, donut, hero) does not matter as the code is not in the system.img/sqsh file, so changing between the system. this was discussed fully previously by me here in addition to lightly touched upon (because I had already posted further one page back), and has been discussed multiple times elsewhere.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] skydirt:
I don't wanna argue here, but again. The link you provided in the post you just posted, in this thread. The Google Ion Android for the Vogue. The question that you answered was this.

"What doesn't work in this build, just MMS and full GPS?"

As I mentioned I had already read your response to his post. Again, this did not answer my question. as the question was regarding "this build" I asked if it was only Ion that it doesn't work, in which you so arrogantly tried to point out that this has been discussed and provided no help at all. Also the posts you quoted were AFTER my post. Not before, thus the ones you quoted were in response to my question and thus could not have been read before hand. (I'm not Marty McFly here and go go back and forward in time)

Until you just said it in your last post, I have not seen someone explain it as clear as you did "no full gps implementation. build (i.e. ion, donut, hero) are all the same"

Thats all I was looking for. Thank you.

hi i jus tried the latest google ion.. and it has no text ringer... so i have no way of tellng if i got a text unless i power up my phone and look at the screen... because it does not vibrate either.. and volume on high distorts the sound
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
skydirt, my first post to you answered your question. this will be my last response to you as we are clogging up this thread with useless posts. but notice that my first post to you had two parts. part a) was the link to what was previously discussed. part b) stated "build does not matter, as the GPS code does not lie in the system file."

'nough said.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
please explain further. do you you have any sounds on your phone, and does the regular ringer work? do you see anything in the text message settings when you click notification>ringer? do you hear sounds as you select the ringtone for notifications in messaging?

do you have a volume program like "audio manager" or "volume control", and is the volume of your notifications set above zero?
