WHAT!! I am ashamed at you, Jesse and Martin. How dare you guys cheat on the Vogue!! Is she not good enough for you guys. What is her name? Is it Raphael??

Just kidding, I just read on the UTB-Connect forums that you guys were helping Edvard out with his port of Android to the Touch Pro which is very exciting. I was kind of kicking myself in the arse because I orignally had the Vogue but got bored with it cause development got slow with Android and so I sold my Vogue and got the Touch Pro. Was happy with it and almost fell in love with WinMo again but came to the conclusion that I hated WinMo and the Touch Pro(Especially after it caught fire and melted into my kitchen counter) and bought another Vogue when I read the GPU acceleration and other stuff were worked out on the Android Vogue. Now I have a reason to dust off a couple of the old Touch Pros and put Android on it to have fun with it again cause I am kind of missing the physical keyboard. Great work you guys!!!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fiktion:
Well, guys, I went and bought me a G1 this past weekend. I haven't been much of a poster because I haven't had many problems, and when I did, I tried to use the search function as best as I could. But, just wanted to say thank you to anyone and everyone who helped develop Android for the Vogue, I still have my Vogue on my VZW plan, but I haven't really touched it since Saturday :P

But once again, thank you guys for bringing Android to us. I appreciated all of your work.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
yea i'll be next to go....i'm still waiting on verizon to release a htc android phone (i don't care for the Motorola Sholes) and from what i've heard it's going to be soon. If not i'm going to by a used g1 to play around with at least i'll have wifi to browse around with even if it's not on a plan unless t-mo wants to buy me out.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tallnerd1985:
Well, you are in luck my friend, there will be the Predator and Desire coming out from HTC for the Verizon before the end of October.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Yea i heard about those but not much more info other than the names. Guess I'm going to start building real android roms next month if the rumors are true.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] refthemc:
Same here man, but i'm probably jumping ship when that diamond2 variant gets released...

Washed out screen

Hi I tried Google-Ion-2009-09-12.zip on my spring HTC vogue. everything seems to work great. However, the screen feels a little washed out, a tad bit blurred. I can live with it, but I was wondering if anybody knows how to fix this.

My default.txt has:

mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 lcd.density=160

Thanks!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
mine looks fine mine is set to

320x427 it puts everything at the right resolution and doesnt break any apps
[Touch CDMA Android Development] desiindc:
320x427!

Thanks skyle! That makes it look sharp.

btw, there is this game called Mystique. Has anyone run it on this phone? Mine goes to a black screen when it starts. Does anyone having similar problems?

edit: (Similar problem with google sky map)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
i tried that res but it does break apps for me. the weather clock gets cut off too

Google Ion "Still Evil" bundle from 09/12/2009?

Can anyone post the Ion bundle from 09/12/2009 on a bit-torrent site or something please... This was my favorite build and the bundle I had got corrupted by my Dropbox account. Tried the new "evil" system image out (yay tattoo!), it was beautiful, but it's not quite cooked yet (as we know already). Tried to go back to the Ion system.sqsh that I had, but it won't boot! Anyone help a fellow 'Droid lover out?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] ruizit0:
search in 4shared for "google_ion" ;)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] stickus:
YAY, thanks! I'll be posting all the Ion-based build that I have downloaded onto a BT tracker sometime this evening when I get home. Will update later :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] aross6:
Is there a list compiled anywhere of

ALL

of the proprietary .apk's that are/will be removed from the Don't-Be-Evil editions... you know, just for future reference ;)?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
i'm sure there will be but there aren't going to be many new builds coming out. so the best thing to do is what you guys are doing already which is sharing what ever builds you have with each other. once donut and tattoo are complete the only other builds that will come out will be ones that are yet to be released like the motoblur and the new htc sense ui phones and any new htc "rogers" builds.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] stickus:
hmm, having a small issue with the new basefiles. It says that it'll make a 256MB data img, but I still keep getting a 128 MB one. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Do I need to edit the ion.user.conf or something (not that I've seen any settings in there that would resolve this to my knowledge)?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] stickus:
Nevermind, issue resolved!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] punk.kaos:
So has anyone found a fix for the missed calls and SMS problem? I've got 3 vogues that have all been doing it with the last several builds.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
nope - if you find one let us all know
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Which builds?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Masterface7:
thanks a bunch, i have not been testing android very long and i chose to go with Hero first and i did not get a copy of ion before all this rigmarole.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] punk.kaos:
Looks like as far as I can tell the last one to work reliably is the 8/8 build. After that they begin to randomly not register calls and SMS messages.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] krylon:
nevermind!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] garringm:
well I was finally able to pull all my contacts from a version that I could sync with and put them into the latest donut build since it won't run sync oh what a glorious day

and I owe the ability to fiqure it out to all of you devs
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jaredakelly:
the new ion donut build will boot up for me fine but then i just get a blank screen forever? anyone else?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
this happened to me. rebuilding my data.img seemed to fix the problem.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
I used the 8/8 nk ion build for about 1.5 weeks, and did have the missed call/sms problem. I did not notice it on builds prior to that one, but could have been chance - may just not have used them long enough to notice.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jaredakelly:
i'm still having the problem :confused:

i have tried no data.img to have it construct a new one and have thrown a blank data.img in there to see if that helps but still unable to get it running?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] SPpasty:
uhh i stopped working with android awhile before the buttons got remapped.

where's a list of the new functions?

especially the 'exit to home' button combo?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
corrupt files can also do this. try re-downloading the files and replacing them if you have not done this already.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
top button= menu

camera= back

volume slider= volume

longpress camera= running programs

longpress top button= keyboard (1 sec), rotate landscape/portrait (2 sec)

red button= sleep (use "spare parts" to set this button to go HOME first, then sleep - currently not working in donut builds, though)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] quartapound:
Are there Files missing from vogue-android? I just downloaded the Don't be evil edition without realizing it doesn't have market, or any google apps. If I want the latest Ion build, which should I download? the last file i see is dated august 8th.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
Yeah, those are the ones you're gonna want if you want to run the stable ION/Cupcake build. If you want to try out Donut, you can find an image here:

http://code.google.com/p/vogue-hero/downloads/list

However, this Donut build has some issues with the Market (ie. it will make most of the apps disappear... apparently they come back slowly over time.) I am currently doing some work to see if I can fix this, so if you want to try Donut, I suggest you wait a bit... maybe like an hour... and I'll have a new build up on rapidshare. Check the "Fix for Donut Market" thread to see when I post the file.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Lightarrow:
Im sorry if this has been answered before but i could not find a answer.

I got everything up and running. Im using the latest basefiles and the 08-08 Ion stable build.

Its really great !! i want my next phone to be a android phone because of this. Really amazing work guyes. I will definatly contribute to a project like this when i am done school (last year Software engineering degree)

My only problem or bug is with the contacts. when i try to open some contacts, i get the "android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly" error. It's weird.. it does it to random contacts, including the one contact i really use the most (my girlfriend)

It's really weird, it's like it chooses which contact to work and others to not work.

Other than that everything is great and i didn't run into any other problems.

On a side note, is there a way to make the screen crisper like wm, everything seems a bit blurry. I am using the default rez in default.txt (mddi.width=320 mddi.height=428) and have not set the lcd.density (default 160)

I did try different resolutions and setting the density to a lower number but it makes everyting too small to read.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
try 240width 320length with a lcd.density=120 some apps break but it's the crispest you can get cupcake to look.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Lightarrow:
Thx for the tip, tried it but i found it makes everything too big now, i guess ill stick with the default "blurry rez". I tried every contact and it only seems to do it with my GF :P i tried changing some of her contact info.. nothing worked. I think ill have to delete the contact and redo it, maybe that'll work ! who knows.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
Farewell!

Hey everyone.

I've had a great time getting android running on my vogue, and being here for all the breakthroughs that have occurred. However, I'm done with it. Some sort of film has gotten into my touch screen, and while it still works fine in WinMo, the touchscreen is erratic in Android, and really annoying to use. I'll be getting a new phone in a few weeks anyway (either the Hero or an iPhone, haven't decided 100% yet) so I don't see much point in trying to fix this problem.

I may still buzz around the forums from time to time, and offer help when I can, but I won't be working with Vogue-Android anymore. It's been real.

Peace,

Craig
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Stork66:
I think I have hte same thing because it works wine in WinMo but when youre typing in Android it's annoying lol. Using the stylus helps a bit but whatev. I'm getting the Sholes/Tao/Droid as soon as it comes out. It's gonna be a beast!

And I know there have been problems with the market in Donut but I am getting the same problems in the cupcake version as well. It only shows like 30 apps. I apologize if this has already been addressed, but is there any "cure" for it? or if not, where is a good source for APK's?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
i'm very certain that you wont have the market problem on a real android device. if you do the im sure a couple calls to the right people will clear it up. as for a fix right now check out craig0rs thread.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
Thanks for all your work on this project, I guess it'll just be me in #vogue-android now!

Good luck in the future.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] MrPenguin_2:
Hi all,

I'm sorry if this question has been answered before, but I haven't been able to find an answer for it. I've been downloading the vogue builds for my Titan for a while now, and there's one problem I haven't been able to solve. Is there something special I'm supposed to be doing with the resources.zip file? I've tried extracting the whole file to the root of my SD card and each file individually (ringtones, notifications, etc...) to the root of the SD card. No matter what I do the ringtones menu shows no ringtones. Am I missing a step here?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
everything in there should go to a folder called

media

at the root of the sdcard
[Touch CDMA Android Development] MrPenguin_2:
That's what I thought. I have it as Media on the root, then Audio, and then Ringtones. Nothing shows up when I go to select a ringtone though.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
rename it to media im pretty sure the m is not capitalized
[Touch CDMA Android Development] MrPenguin_2:
Alrighty. I just tried that (and made all the other file names lower case too), but it still didn't work. I also renamed my sd card to SD from Secure Digital Storage Device to see if that would change anything, but it didn't.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
truthfully i've never used the media folder.........
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
I've made a simple fake sensor driver, it lets you use the touch screen for tilt controls.

All you need is a new rootfs from here:

http://vogue-android.googlecode.com/files/rootfs-16-10-09.img

It's not perfect, in particular sometimes it just stops working and won't start again. I tried it with armadillo roll and hyperspace and they're both playable.

Will only work with Ion.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
nice very interesting.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Lightarrow:
Hi everyone (again)

im having problems with the fxCamera app. The normal camera app works fine (although makes crappy pictures... with a orange taste to them) The fxCamera app always gives me some green lines all over the image.

I have fixed my contact crashing android issue. Weird. I deleted the contact and re-created a new one (from my gmail on my computer) and now it works fine.. dunno what it was.

Also, the keyboard seems a bit erratic, sometimes if i don't hold the key long enough it will press a totally different key. Maybe it's due to the fact that my screen has this weird kind of green/red pattern in the middle of it (like gas on the street in the sun). The kind of pattern that when i press on it, it goes away. Any of you have this kind of keyboard problem and/or screen issue ?

My 3yr contract is almost over with bell and i love this phone. I'd really like to have a authentic android phone with sliding keyboard but Rogers plans are way too expensive and they are the only carrier with android phones in canada.

Is there any other htc phones that bell would carry that have this kind of Android port ? I know dev is being made for the Touch pro and Diamond but are nowhere near the developpement on the Vogue

Thanks so much DZO for doing this. If my tuition fees were not so high i would donate, i just can't afford to right now :( Can't wait to finish university :P

edit: forgot to mention this : tried the rootfs included in the basefiles.zip and the latest one out 10-16-2009. same problem for the camera.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] kr4zyc1d:
Donut?

Hey everyone, I have been using Android on my HTC Vogue (Verizon XV6900) and it has been pretty great! I have run into some problems and questions that hopefully can get answered here.

My first main question is: When might I be able to install the Donut version on my phone? I have been checking out the android-vogue page on google codes for the past few days and have seen some really neat, new and interesting updates. So every once in a while, I will download the new stuff, clean my SD card and put the new stuff on there and check it out. However, I am always showing that I am running 1.5 with the same old market! Am I missing something or is that version not out yet. If I am missing something, can someone send me the correct link or zip file? Thanks!

So now, my problems. Everyday I need to reset (pushing the button on the bottom of my phone) At least once. For some reason or another, it locks up, or I can't get the phone to react to button pressing, or whatever the case may be. Is anyone else having this issue where they are rebooting at least once a day, or am I alone on this?! I would really not like to have to reboot so often, seeing as how it takes forever to boot to WM6.1, and then Android!!! Any help would be very much appreciated, as you can also email me at gboxadmin@carolina.rr.com! Thanks again everyone, and have a great day/night!

[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
The donut build is at vogue-hero. It isn't quite stable so I took it off vogue-android. It works good except for audio. Seems to only play certain files. Others sound distorted. This way people coming in looking for a usable stable image will get it at vogue-android. Donut is nice but I still run the ion cupcake build for daily use.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] kr4zyc1d:
Donut?

Awesome, thanks for the fast reply. Any fix for the constant reboot or issues with things always force-closing? (not mentioned in my first message). Thanks again.

Matt
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
have you used your data file with different types of builds without building a fresh one? I would try building a new data.img
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
yea im actually have this same problem with f/c's lately i have a data.img that i have used with ion from 9/9/09 so it think its just time to buld a new data :(:rolleyes:

EDIT:f/c with java, clock, provider fc cant keep a data connection modem keeps trying to connect...yeah time for a new data img
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
I've never had these problems with ion. For starters turn off compcache/swap or set it real low. Android uses its own memory management and frees memory when it needs it. Using swap when not needed slows things down over time. Maybe with the next round of basefiles i'll turn swap off by default for ion.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] kr4zyc1d:
Yes, I build a new data file every time I do a wipe, making sure only the base files (new/updated) get copied to the drive for booting. This first boot is always a little slow (because its building the file, but subsequent boots are much faster). Also, how would I turn off compcache/swap? Is that in the default.txt? Thanks everyone!

matt
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
no it is in the ion.user.conf file in the conf folder if you are using the latest basefiles
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
There is a file in the basefiles called ion.user.conf open it and change the compcache values. There should be comments in the file to guide you. Swap/compcache is really only usefull for the hero/tattoo builds which tend to load a lot of widgets and extra apps. Also watch what you install some apps auto start and can use up resources even if your not using them. Maybe download a task killer and kill off apps you arent using. Good luck.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] scouzer:
I've finally got everything working on my phone but one thing is annoying: Is it just me, or is 1cm from the left side of the screen a complete touch dead zone? Like I can't click anything on the left edge of my Vogue. I've managed to get everything else working though.. pretty amazing what you guys have done.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Did you use the calibrate screen app?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] flyboy21141:
Um....

Ok, I got the OS running smoothy. Very nice indeed, except for one thing.

The touch detection.

Something's really messed up on mine. Any point on the screen that is touched, it detects as two quick taps. Neither dragging/ scrolling or typing are possible. The object being dragged/ scrolled wont move [itll just get selected... twice], and I cant avoid typing double letters in the on screen keyboard. I know its not a hardware problem, because the OS DOES quickly detect the touch, and accurately detects its location. But whether the touch is held at a point or dragged or just quickly tapped, the OS detects it as two successive taps. WHY??:confused:

I think this may be a problem just for me... because i dont see any other similar posts, and the online videos show smooth touch response...

I reinstalled android several times, only for the problem to recur.

HELP! i wanna be able to use this awesome OS!

And sorry if i posted this in the wrong thread... I'm new to this site.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] scouzer:
Weird. I just redid the calibration and now it's fine. Maybe if you calibrate on first boot it doesn't save properly? Everything is working great now that I redid it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] kr4zyc1d:
Ok, Yes I have a task killer that I use constantly, especially during boot time or shortly there after. I will try changing the ion conf file to see if that works. Last quick question. I don't actually think I have used the conf files before let alone know where to place them. As of right now, I have these files on the root of my SD card: default.txt, haret.exe, initrd, rootfs, system, zImage, and the newly created data file. Where would I put the changed conf file on the card? Thanks again everyone, I hope this helps!

Matt.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
there is an option to save the calibration settings in that calibrate app if you push the menu button after calibration.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
i think it might be your touch screen. your using the ion build right?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] bug666:
Is there any way to fix the market? When I first started using the Ion builds all the free apps were appearing in the market. After I started testing a few donut builds theres a limited amount of apps showing up in the market even if I go back to cupcake.

Every time I change to cupcake I delete my sdcard of all previous data.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
great now my data is effin up with ion just built a new data store and modem keeps trying to establish a connection, and yes apn settings are correct... i hope the sprint-hero didnt screw my phone up:(, but i dont think so because i can get a connection in winmo\

EDIt modem says invalid command killpppoff, this sucks.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
the only way right now is to look at the market fix thread. basically your going to have to create a new account in ion with a fresh data image and then go to setting/applications and clear some of the application cache but keep market intact then go back and open gmail and log in with your regular account. it should show more apps that way. those donut builds were taken down that had the market bug that sticks with your google account. i imagine it will go away when donut starts taking over but until then use a different account if you want to get market apps. it sucks. i've been affected by it. so now i have two accounts.
