Thanks for the tip. data is working. Im using the flip weather clock and it runs nice on this with the other hero widgets. Im also running at 240x320. Thanks Zen i cant wait for future releases of this type.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
it isn't really tattoo. i just put the boot.gif thats floating around in there. it's still hero for the time being. truthfully the mini/tiny hero is put on hold for a little bit until donut is working better. i just figured i'd throw something up since i said i would. it's not the final product.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] arleybarros:
i dont know why but i conected the phone in usb and it found my gsm network...

LUCKY YOU KAISER USERS!!!

Look the Nike100 situation:

Vibration = freeze TS

cannot hang up the calls (maybe a gsm issue)

no bluetooth

and the device limitations

no wifi

no gps

:rolleyes:
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
and i greatly appreciate it. ive been refreshing the thread for a few days. i dont mind testing unfinished product. Thanks for giving all of us a taste
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
Zen, you might want to move up the 128mb data.img to the top of the list with the new lite build. data will not work without it. lots of problems if we load a data.img that is not blank. also, i cant get the keyboard to come up. thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
ok it might just be me but is anyone else having a problem getting the keyboard to come up??:confused:

edit didnt see the post right above mine lol
[Touch CDMA Android Development] s0v3r1gn:
This may sound stupid, but where did you get the flip weather clock from? I couldn't find it in the Market. I must not be searching with the right terms or something.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
search xda for "weather widget donate"
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
im using the weather flip clock widget but the weather aint there because i cant type in the zip code.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] s0v3r1gn:
Thank you sir =)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
hmm..... not lettin me upload the zip file but whatever, here is the link to the hero keyboard(htc_ime);) hope this helps

just put in AndroidApps folder on sdcard and bootup or install from a file explorer like astro
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
i'll upload the missing apps folder. actually it's going to be all the apps from jacxheroski because i don't feel like picking out the ones already included.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] s0v3r1gn:
Sweet, Thank you sir!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] nabicat:
Much obliged. That did the trick.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
Thanks man that did help. i had to reboot 2 times because i didnt have 3rd part apps turned on. Thanks Zen for all the app apk files!!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zkush:
when i get to the lock screen i slide down the slider and all that shows up is the htc screen. how can i fix this?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
just wait longer and keep it from going to sleep
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cmus:
extra apks

Hmmm.... what would happen if I installed that rosie.apk onto an ion build?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
lol it doesn't work. you can install it on the xrom build at vogue-hero but it doesn't fully load up and pretty much borks your install until you boot again with a fresh data.img
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zkush:
alrite i tried this but still no go. now the screen is just blank
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
just wait the first boot takes a while. if you got it that far then it should come up i've never had a problem with it and wouldn't put up something that didn't at least fully boot up.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Slow compaired to what? As for WiFi my vogue doesn't have WiFi so it wasn't a priority for me. If its slow what programs were running? What build are you using? Are you using all my files? How many widgets? What type of vogue? What type of sdcard? Things like that help. I'm running seven widgets and typing this from the browser in my latest hero build. Its not as fast as ion I can't help that. I make these builds for my personal use and I try to help when I can but without more information I can't be of any help.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] robertkirkland:
when my replacement vogue gets here I am def. gonna try the new build!!! Zen do you know when we will be able to add the swapram in and how much of an improvement it could be? thxs for your work btw :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
.

As soon as somebody builds a kernel module we can start using it. It should be a noticeable speed increase over using just swap. G1 users use this to run hero. I'm going to also look into the low memory killer settings implemented s while back since we have more memory with swap and hopefully compcache comming soon.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] derekwilkinson:
Won't using CompCache slow down the processor, and make the build run slower?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Septavius:
Working Exchange ActiveSync

@zenulator: Thanks for all the great work. Your builds are truly amazing.

I've figured out why Exchange ActiveSync doesn't work on your Hero builds while it does on msmissions.

Looking at the debug output when trying to connect from one of your builds:

So the problem is the space in "HTC Magic". Comparing with msmissions build I found that the value used in "DeviceType" is from the property "ro.product.name", which is set to "htc_hero" for his builds.

Changing "ro.product.name" (in the file "build.prop") from "HTC Magic" to "htc_magic" in your latest builds makes Exchange work flawlessly :).
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
thanks for pointing that out. i don't use exchange so i didn't know if it worked or not. if it's that important for people i'll add that to the list of changes and also include wifi. and thanks for actually taking the time to debug. things like this help the build get better and better.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
it could for all i know. the main problem for hero is memory constraints. with out swap hero has about 1mb free without any extra apps running. its not as processor intensive as it is a memory hog. even when using android 1.1 a while back and you didn't limit the number of app processes the whole system would bog down. eventually they implemented a low memory killer to kill apps running in the background when the amount of free memory reached a certain point. by compressing the memory that we do have we will be able to keep more applications in ram and not swap. i'm sure there might be a certain amount of cpu usage but i doubt it's more than whats going on now with swapping to the sdcard and back. the hero has 288mb of ram and a 528mhz processor. we have 128mb ram and a 400mhz processor. so without overclocking the best we can do is to try to increase the amount of ram hero has to run in. right now i have seven widgets running and i can scroll across them smoothly. but when i open a app like the browser everything slows to a crawl because whats already loaded gets swapped so that there is free memory for the browser to run in. then try to make a phone call during all this and your staring at your phone wanting to pull your hair out. anyway i think it will be worth it if people want to see hero running to the max on the vogue. most of the system has already been optimized beyond stability by the people in the dream forums to require less memory. beyond that our only other hope is the dalvik vm and hoping that newer versions offer speed increases that can be ported back to hero.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] meatmaker:
A new Build with Exchange-Fix would be godlink, because it's the lack of exchange-support thats preventing me and i think many others from running your Hero-Build. :-) Hitting F5 every hour to check for news builds since days...

One other question: Will the upgrade to a Class 6 SDHC (8gb) will imporeve speed? I'm running on a noname-SDHC right now and its quite laggy.

And is there any chance (in the future) of getting rid of the 320*480 resulution restriction? 320*428 would look much nicer, i think.

Nevertheless, fantastic work!!! I love it! :D
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
The class 6 sdhc might help. Thats what I use but I haven't tested it on anything else. It's still not going to be as fast as ion. I find it completely usable with a couple widgets and web browsing. I had seven widgets loaded up all day today and browsed the web with no problem. Beyond that things come to a crawl. A good idea is to save your custom scene and then switch to a blank one if you want to run apps. Then switch back when your done. It will save a lot of swapping and load time. I might include a regular hero themed launcher and a sense ui toggle in the next release. As for the 320*480 thats something hero specific. You even have to have it set for mssmisions rogers build I believe.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] meatmaker:
Okay. Ill post about speed-improvements as soon as my class-6 sdhc arrives.

Once you will be able to create a exchange-fixed-image, ill test it and post the resultes here.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Thanks and good luck with that sdcard.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] DWC316:
zen, can you post the startup gif files used in the hero build, preferably the htc one, i would like to use it as my startup animation when i turn on my vogue, thx
[Touch CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
Reposting this, I've repacked the latest Hero to have wifi for Kaiser on my Mediafire account. I've also disabled the startup sound. Vogue doesn't have wifi but maybe similar devices will work. It's just the system.img file with wifi confirmed working.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] t1mman:
Just to give my tumbs up for the latest zen's release. I'm trying it out on another SD card I have and it's blazing fast!

Might end up on my "everyday" SD ;)

BTW: Where's the camera?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] natefish:
I know the camera is working, but there is no app. can someone please post the camera apk?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] enatefox:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] gjbnh:
Not Booting

This is been happening for a couple of builds I have tried lately; did not happen when I first tried Android months ago. Haret boots ok, but the phone sticks at a scrolling screen which appears to be an infinite loop, and it never gets to the Android screen. Editing the panel does not help. Any ideas why this is happening?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jsun21:
I just installed your most recent Hero build and I must say it is a lot faster than its predecessors! Amazing work! Keep it up man!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] TheKartus:
What part of the scrolling text is it it stopping at? What does it say?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zkush:
k so i got it to start working with the newest base files (from 25 hrs ago) and the super hero system. im at the point where im trying to have it log into fbook and twitter and it is taking forever. like really slow. is this supposed to happen?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mike21pr:
YO!!!! the HTC Tatoo runs a QVGA version of SenseUI, 2.8 inch screen, and resistive!!

isnt this perfect for the Vogue when it comes to compatibility and speed??? Will there be a Tatoo Port of Vogue Android??? I really hope so

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_BLXHBhTq0&feature=player_embedded#t=99
[Touch CDMA Android Development] natefish:
If you are running super hero, then yes. Many if us noticed a gradually increasing lag in it. Super hero is mainly ported so that people can see what the full hero experience is like. It hardly means super speed.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] natefish:
If we do get the leaked rom, I will so get the TP2 for daily us and keep my Vogue to play with on my third line. I am very excited about Tatoo. If for no other reason than faster incoming calls and full Bluetooth, it can't getbhere fast enough.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
that is a nice phone. on a good note, hero on my vogue isnt to far behind that as far as speed goes, because of you guys. thanks alot. i like having something to play around with. and its fun going from build to build watching it get faster and less buggy. but when you do this with all the build (donut,ion,cupcake,xrom ect... your wife tends to hate you. :mad: Ive doone nothing but stare at my phone for a month straight. I need to mow my grass! haha
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
lol, my wife is itching to throw my vogue on the ground, stomp on it, then wash out any remaining life with the hose. i'm a bit of an addict. need to cut back. get withdrawal. get annoyed if people say I have a problem. interferes with my home and work life at times . . .

if this was alcohol they'd be shipping me off to AA

[Touch CDMA Android Development] arleybarros:
ok, i'll heave to ask...

since kaiser and nike heave "almost" the same hardware, what do i heave to do to make this builds more compatible with nike?

work on a zImage that disables wifi and gps?

there's the gsm issue, maybe in the zImage too...

i want that tatoo system working on my nike, even if that means that i'll heave to learn another programming language...

thank you...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] gjbnh:
Is it possible that there is subliminal programming in android?? Look at how it has taken over the Vogue thread! Not natural....maybe it's demonic. ;)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] toubeau:
Could it be possible to add in the *.conf files an option to switch between our open source and the HTC ril? I'm using USSD codes pretty much and it's currently only working with HTC's one. thx

btw, latest donut is clearly faster than previous builds, awesome job zen ;)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
you'll have to wait a bit for the community ril to be adapted to donut...

vilord is about to settle down in his new place and will work on that soon.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
wifi is allready disabled when running on a nike. It runs with the same config as the vogue, and different than the kaiser/polaris.

I suppose the gps can be disabled when running on a nike, if it's causing problems... You tell me :)

abraço
[Touch CDMA Android Development] arleybarros:
i really can't say that gps is causing problems because i never tested with gps disabled.

sorry

htc hero sense ui on gene?

can somebody guide me on how to port this on the htc gene p3400i?

i tried to run it this way---

first installed android,, then modified the files in /storage card/linux...

what i dis is ....cut all the files inside /linux folder and pasted in the root of strage card.. then copied data.img and system.img files from hero-vogue8-2-09

but after i ran heret.exe....the htc hero logo came up but it reboots and then again htc logo (of the hero sense ui ofcourse)...what to do?;;;it doesnot load the main homescreen!!!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
you can try, but not sure it will run hero.

the gene has a very small ram for hero to run. the vogue/kaiser have twice as much and struggle with it.

what you can try is to copy only the system.img over a currently running android installation on your device.

be sure the resolution is set to 320x480 in default.txt and that you have a media folder at the root of your sdcard (http://vogue-android.googlecode.com/files/resources.zip)

We're all eagerly waiting!

I'd rather you take your time and put out a working release, then having to boot a new build every couple hours with new fixes.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] natefish:
Well, that begs the question that I thought was obvious: Will this be a full ROM that we can flash or another sd card image? If it is another sd card image, are we going to have bluetooth? That is actually what I am most excited about, since I know everything else is a given.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mike21pr:
GASP!!!!!! Please let this be true!!! What a Vogue-Android enthusiast has been praying for this whole time!! im gonna bite my fingers till a true release is made, take your time guys. cant rush perfection!!!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
bluetooth and other hardware related support are mainly in the kernel. There's usually nothing wrong with the system images.

The kernel needs to have working drivers for that (and some other things).

Don't ask system builders to solve every problem...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] loserskater:
Since the tattoo is similar to the vogue are we going to be able to use its kernel as a reference to maybe up ours to a newer one?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] plemen:

i heave to say that the last rogers build is the most stable on my device.

maybe is the last basefiles.

i'm really looking forward for the native resolution, but rogers with 320 X 427 look really good for me.

i recommend...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] natefish:
Wasn't asking them to solve every problem. Just wondering. I know it's a matter of the kernel. I apologize if the question was confusing: I just wondered if this would be something we flash like custom ROM or if it would be something we put on the sd card and run from there. Thanks.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
ok. :)

to answer that question, it will be something to put on the sdcard.

booting from flash is still not a priority at this time.
