Reinstall fresh

try to just have a complete fresh install, install everything fresh from vilords 1st post

i had a problem with vilords blank data, so i just used dzo's data.gz

(so use vilords: default, haret,intrid.gz,&system.img)&&(use dzo's: data.gz &zImage) {you dont need any other files or folders}

with this setup it worked perfectly for me...

i want to modify the default to autocalibrate my screen (i have pannel 3- sprint), if it works i'll post the settings so others can see if it works for them

_____

EDIT:

sprint panel 3 htc vogue auto calibrate keyboard settings (vilords hires intrid)

(i added the following text right before the ppp.username in the default.txt):

vogue-ts.XMIN=431 vogue-ts.YMIN=351 vogue-ts.XMAX=3727 vogue-ts.YMAX=3759 vogue-ts.PMAX=374

works perfectly for me, this sooo much more accurate than the default , check "dev tools"-> "pointer location" to see if it lines up for you

I just installed the new Maps on my phone with no errors... any chance you could get logcat trace of why it won't install?

in regards to the FS, someone on the G1 has it unmounting SD on shutdown, so maybe there's a way to follow the same procedure and unmount data on shutdown, I'm asking.

It's actually an intermittent bug. For whichever reason that eludes me, sometimes the SMSes get through untouched, sometimes they get a Bad Encoding, sometimes they display incorrectly (chinese-ish or weird characters). I can't track the source, because the incoming texts come from either txt.bell.ca, a Titan (on bell), a Motorola Z10 (on rogers) or an Audiovox 8200 (on bell) (yes, this one: http://www.cellphones.ca/cell-phones/audiovox-8200/ - My fiancée's.

Where's the latest and greatest ION build hiding these days?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] sshark:
Latest ION build is based on Donut and can be found in thread created by Zen with Droid theme. It is super stable, but as with other donut builds gps and home button doesn't work, just so you know.

I have been using it for at least 2 weeks and very happy with it.

I should have been more detailed.

I would prefer an ION (Cupcake 1.5) build that supports camera, GPS, etc. I'd run Donut full time if it wasn't for the GPS currently not functioning.

crontab

When I run "su -c crontab" I get the error "crontab: unknown uid 0".

I also tried "crontab" as non-root user and got the error "crontab: must be suid to work properly".

Notes: crontab needs to write to /var/spool/ so I have a simple image mounted there. I also tried creating a file /etc/busybox.conf to setuid the crontab applet, but my /etc/busybox.conf file disappears.

Anyone have any ideas?

Is bluetooth Support sketchy on Google Ion? It seems to unpair randomly and then its hard to get it to pair again. Anything to be done to resolve this?

My back key stops working all the time now!!!! What do I do it's so annoying!

Also, every time I reboot it askes me to login to my google account. What's up with that?

I should mention I'm working from NAND again now :)

Thanks for any ideas!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] TheKartus:
Bluetooth is not fully implemented and it has been known to cause issues with the back button.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] berardi:
Thanks - Is this something being worked on or not expected to be resolved any time soon?

Oh and if anyone has the same issue, I've figured out a fix -

Slide down the notifications area, and try the back button there. It should work there and in the rest of the system. I'm guessing the problem has to do with a notification not being handled correctly
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
I'm working on this, I've almost got BT going nicely, give me a few more days to get it perfect.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] berardi:
Would you have any idea what would cause the phone to completly stop repsonding, on a regular basis? It will just not wake up at all when I press the power key, and require me to soft reset. I've also been having issues with apps from the market place requiring force close as soon as I try to open them - don't know if that might be related.

Also weird, every time I reboot (usually when it freezes) I am required to re-enter my google account info

Thank you sir
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Reddog80p:
The only thing I have been having trouble with on some 1.6 donut builds is the menu button not working to unlock the homepage. It works to bring up the lock screen but then hitting it again to unlock it does nothing. It's hit and miss and I cannot be sure exactly which builds have done it or not so It must be hardware related on my end.

Once there is a fixed bluetooth I think I will migrate to the android build full time. Right now I still stick with win mo most of the time because I like to use my hands free kit in the car.

Android on a xv6800 sound issues.

I've gotten android working great on my xv6800.. in fact much more faster than windows mobile. I love it to death.. but I have an issue getting the ringtones working. I've extracted the resources to the root of the SDcard. but when I go into the ringtones area it has the arrow but does nothing else. Any clues...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
you should have a /media/audio/ringtones folder on your SD card filled up with the ringtones... is that what you have now?

How well does it work on 6800? Which build? I've got a 6800 on a shelf somewhere that I wouldn't mind dragging out :)

the reason you can't find is because you are using or have used a donut build at a resolution other thatn 240x320. more info here.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] computerwiz_222:
I am absolutely loving the fact that I can run Android on my HTC Touch. Before you read on, you should know that I am more of the "user" type than the type of guy who dives into the terminal and gets technical.

I flashed my phone with the image for Android back in December, but I notice that there are a few updates since then. I would really like to reflash, but I don't want to loose all of my information. My text messages are super important to me mainly.

Is there an easy way to update my HTC Touch to the latest image without loosing my personal data and apps?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] *M*:
When I change a rom I use adb to pull the sms/contacts database out to my harddrive then push it on to the new rom, same with apps, I keep a folder of apk's.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
use My Backup Pro from the market. trial version is for thirty days, which is plenty of time fo you to use.

if you are going to be using the same build of android (ex donut to donut), you can keep your old data.img, and just clear the dalvik cache using the new install menu before booting it.

haretinstall on Kaiser

Hello,

I tried using the latest haretinstall (2010/02/14) on Kaiser. When being prompted to push the volume up button or DPAD center button and trying both buttons (plus the camera button which was used on Kaiser in earlier releases) nothing happens even though I have supplied androidinstall.tar (there is just a message that system.img is missing which is obvious since I have not yet run the installation process). I have also tried several other buttons (if not all) which did not work.

Sorry for being slightly off topic with my Kaiser question but I hope someone can help me. If there is a androidhtc Kaiser specific thread could someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Problem with service

Alright, so I've been running Android on my Bell HTC Touch for almost 3 weeks now and it's been great. Once in a while the service drops out and I fix this by rebooting back into windows mobile, then back into android. Today, when I rebooted back into windows I had service, but when I booted into android I got no service. I've tried about a dozen times but I can't get service anymore in android however I still get service in windows. Any ideas?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] nyterage:
seince i run it off SD i know from experience that it usually takes my phone 10-15 minutes to successfully get signal again after booting into android, let it sit for a little while longer then the data symbol should pop up near the top showing you have data connection aswell
[Touch CDMA Android Development] HTChopper:
Sweet! I'm getting signal again. But now ever since this little issue.. the top button (power button) doesn't work, and this morning my ringtone played on it's own for no reason...unless I had a call and it's not showing I did. It's starting to get glitchy. :S

Actually...what is the best/most stable version of android to run on the HTC Touch? I think this version is Android 1.5 - 2009-08-08. Not sure if there's anything better out there.

currently we are experimenting with froyo, before that eclair, and before that doughnut- myn dzo and incubus are the main developers- i encourage you to try them all and make the best choice-

If you don't mind, could you get a radio log?

Two ways,

if you have ADB working, after a failed one comes through just type "adb logcat -b radio > radio.log", then ctrl-c after about 30 seconds.

Or, install "Better Terminal Emulator", then the next time one of these comes through...

Open terminal. ignore all the quotes in the following, they're just there for illustration...

Type "su"

password is "vogue"

type "logcat -b radio > /sdcard/radio.log"

then after about 30 seconds hold down the middle of the dpad and push "c" (this is ctrl-c) then type exit twice

then grab the radio.log from your phone and email it to me.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
Same symptom as vilords system.img. Starts out flying, then after about 4-5 hours going home (exiting out) from data-intense apps (beyondpod, browser, scoreboard) the phone starts really lagging. It's a bit different than the previous "slowdowns" that caused everything (in app menus, etc) to slow, this just affects repainting the home screen with icons.

I read previously that it might be a slower-class sd card, does this sound like it might be the issue? I'm sure that my sd card is not the highest class as far as performance.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jaredakelly:
i have the slowest class sd card and my android is fast. are you using all the "parts" from the same build or are you piecing them all together from different developers. i think that was my problem the first time. i used to have your exact same problem. also if i were you i'd invest into "advanced task manager" in the marketplace, it's only a buck and it give you the ability to close out apps that are running in the backround.

"You need to be able to run unsigned apps, as the Haret launcher is not signed."

I googled this as I've had problems with the previous builds of Android ( it resulted in losing my ability to run all 3rd party programs) and had to hard reset my phone to get WM back. I have already posted about how the various builds DO effect the native OS. It was nice to see this included in the instructions, but I could not find anything posted on HOW to allow unsigned apps to run. Could someone point me in the right direction please?

I have dzo's latest kernel, init from vilord, and everything else is from the dude. data image is of course martin's 128 img. I think I'm going to try reformatting, and re-installing. It can't hurt, besides the time to rebuild the data.img.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jaredakelly:
try using all your parts from one developer and see how that works. for me i was having the same problems you were until i downloaded the thedudes themed rom tweaked by mssmison. do exactally the following and let me know how it works for you:

go here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=523472

download "Themed TheDude build" (since it has the full package in it)

delete all android files in your sd card, put all files (except data.img, get a new one or keep the one you have) in your sd card like you already know how to do.

then download the system.img from "Hero ION theme build 1" and use that system.img, then boot it up and you should be good.

this is what i did and it worked for me. i can imagine your having problems because you are piecing together your own build from different developers that might not work well together seamlessly. literally i only have android files (other than my data.img) from mssmison working with my android, this is what i did and hopefully it works for you.

not to take away from vilords build though, because i'm sure it's awesome. i just haven't tried it myself and am giving you my own personal experiences. ultimately my point being is try to stick to one developer and see if it works

thanks!!!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
The reason for this is that memory usage seems to be steadily increasing, something has a leak. Thedude's build from mssmison uses my old initrd and my old zImage (modified from a 2-month old DZO kernel) with a different system. Switch to the red ion system (which is just a themed version of what I've got) and basically all you have is an old zImage and an old initrd with everything else the same.

JaredKelly, why are you using dzo's data.gz? That was made for 1.1... what symptoms are you seeing with the new data.gz?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jaredakelly:
i didn't know the data.gz is just made for 1.1. i haven't changed because i didn't want to loose all my data. is there any way to transfer data and upgrade to a new data.gz?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
If I understand correctly, you want me to run the old zimage and init. Sooo...what system.imgs are compatible with your newest inits? I've tried the red and the green, both good themes, btw. And yes, I still have a 128 data image that was from 1.1, but then again, we had to use that to set up the login, so how could we possibly have one specific to 1.5?

I used to have this down pretty good, now I'm just a bit confused. wtf:confused:

btw, I look forward to getting it running reliably on my hardware, it's wicked when it works.

EDIT: You know what, dude...I never looked at dl ing your supp tools. I'll bet I get it this time.
