Well my attempt got the invalid parameter so I'll wait for you to fix rootfs.img before trying again. I've got 4.0-1 so hopefully it will work with your zImage
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
4.0? that's a major version. don't think it will work.

phone kernel has 3.4
[Touch CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
Modding init with boot.img's settings were a no go. echo proved that the variables were defined. I hope it's not a 2.6.25 thing.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] natefish:
I'm about to test the squashfs file system. What is the advantage of this file system over the old one?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
suggest you wait a few minutes for an updated rootfs...

SquashFS has more compression and is faster than CramFS.

(But not a lot)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] sshark:
New 1.6 build....does it support the Exchange? :confused:

PS: Btw, 1.6 without sqashFS is very very fast with "rootfs-8-20-09-30MBcc-backingstore+32mbswap-PMOS69.img"...again very very fast. Of course, I am trying this with a dummy sd card that I have since I don't know impact of using these partitions on the life of sd card.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
No, not a build, that's up to zenulator.

But I sent him a new rootfs that corrects a bug a few minutes ago.

Since it's only a minor update, I suppose you can get it.

Ok I'm going to release a build straight from the original hero update. Give me a couple minutes to test it and if all goes good I'll put it up.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myshinynewtouch:
folks using the hero builds - are you getting your calls within a ring or two ? that is my biggest problem with the hero builds forcing me to use the donut builds which is pretty quick in answering a call..(even though u don't see who is calling the very second if the phone is in a reduced power state and it takes 2 rings before i actually see something on the screen)

Also, has anyone seen the build mentioned in this engadget article? It is for CDMA phones and its call settings.. praying for cynogen to implement this in his next experimental builds but haven't seen it yet anywhere...

http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/26/early-android-2-0-donut-build-available-up-and-running-on-g1/
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
There is actually a cdma branch in the android source. I think it's being merged in with donut. I compiled the cdma branch a while back but didn't mess with it that much it seemed incomplete. It might be worth looking into now. Sprint is getting the hero and that is cdma right? So when that comes we might have some better luck. Android is taking off pretty good so it's only going to be getting better from here. Right now Hero on the vogue/kaiser is more of a proof of concept. Yes it can run it but using it as an every day "phone" where you expect to receive all calls and sms is still a pipe dream. Even the G1 users have been having trouble with calls and sms on hero since the first day it was ported over.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
8-15 and 1.6 have been the best for me. I renice apps, leaving the phone process high in priority and it's giving me very good response time even when sleeping. Ideally, we could port Hero components to the open source branch but no one's been able to yet in any ground breaking way. In the meantime, I don't text or have data but my contacts sync with Google so no need to worry about SIM issues, wifi works and Touchflo doesn't reload after using the phone for about 5 minutes. The update broke some functionality but I think it more than makes up for it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
Telus is getting the Hero this fall, and they're CDMA. However, they are also upgrading their network to HSPA this fall, so I'm not sure what that means for GSM/CDMA branches... don't know enough about the HSPA technology, myself.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] s0v3r1gn:
HSPA is just a better, more bandwidth(RF) conscious and organized extension of WCDMA. There is a few more differences, but nothing that will really effect the Android branches. The CDMA branch will be the one used, and like most implementations of Android the OEM will just have to make a custom radio driver for it. The CDMA calls from within android to the RILD will not need to change. And the RILD itself will not need to change either for HSPA. The differences in HSPA and regular WCDMA will all be handled by the radio chipset itself.

JACHerosky1.5r2 running on htc magic

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T22-bFO84zM&hd=1

Not all that different than what I currently get on my kaiser :)

(besides the bigger and better screen/touchscreen)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
paul modaco in the hero forums....the one that did the video of the hero update before it came out said this about the current update "You think this is smooth, you just WAIT until the major update! Going back to this after using that feels like swimming through treacle, really!" so there is more to come.

the image i'm playing with right now is the one he just released for the hero....i'll upload it in a bit. still no mail or exchange. my google contacts work though and thats all i care about since i use gmail. just sucks for those that don't.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
Ok, he's using 1.5r2 though which had the just leaked update. So there's another one?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
It means the update that leaked and that we are using is not the full update, and that there is a big difference between them.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
yes hence why we still have the flipping clock......
[Touch CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
what's our ETA? we have to have people
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
Do you know someone at HTC? :)

Actually, my previous boss (AKA the bastard) was a personal friend of HTC's ceo. They took their MBA's together. He even offered him the new phones as they came out. (Double bastard).

Too bad (

NOT

[Touch CDMA Android Development] PeterDLai:
Is the JACHeroski1.6 bundle part of the group of builds that may greatly reduce the life of our SD cards?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
not with http://vogue-hero.googlecode.com/files/rootfs-8-20-09-CompCache+32MBswap+SquashFS-PMOS69.img

no
[Touch CDMA Android Development] 2girls1cup:
on my initial boot of JACHeroski1.6, it seems to get stuck at the HTC logo screen for a while. Is this normal?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
try Zen's premade data.img. Only way I can get past that
[Touch CDMA Android Development] 2girls1cup:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
likewise lol
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
there isn't going to be one for a little bit. the modaco image doesn't have anything new to offer. it's all the same update no matter what. the only other thing i have to try is to apply the update to the old stock hero rom then build an image with that. after playing around with the modaco image it's very picky. (like it has a mind of it's own) i can't throw files around like i do with other builds.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] optimistik:
Zen maybe I missed it but what happened to the time you got texting working but then couldn't reproduce it with a fresh data.img? Was that the end of that or are you still working on it?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
Let me know if you need help with applying the update on and older image. I've been trying myself with not so great results but I've got time
[Touch CDMA Android Development] skydirt:
Is xROM 2.0 your build Zen? or is it your modifications to another build? I'm interested in the development of it. Do I do that in this thread or somewhere else?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
No and that's all I have to say.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
xROM2 is a mod of JACxROM1.3 created by JAC and themed by manup. Basically I added the hero themed launcher, weather clock and a couple other things. Made it work with the vogue. Fixed the reboot and poweroff.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jaredakelly:
ok i'm a bit lost......so to get the new squashfs to work do i have to rename it to anything or just keep it how it is? and does this replace the system.img?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
you don't rename the system.sqsh. keep it like it is. you need to use the zImage included in the zip and download the fixed rootfs.img on vogue hero. it really just some experimental stuff pmos69 came up with. squashfs is supposed to be a little faster and compresses better than cramfs. and don't worry cramfs still works with the zImage and rootfs.img so when your done just rename system.sqsh to something like system-jachero16.sqsh and you can use a regular system.img. basically the rootfs.img via init looks for system.sqsh first and if it doesn't find it then it mounts the normal system.img.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jaredakelly:
thanks got it working. seems faster! i love hero. thank you for your hard work!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] plemen:
Xrom2 is the nilcest and most usable build I've used on the vogue... everything works!

Thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] skydirt:
I agree. Only thing I would like to see added to the xROM 2.0 is the HTC widgets anlong with the HTC contacts/texting. However after reading a few threads, it's impossible without rosie? and if you ran xROM off rosie, then it would be no different then your other hero build? I dunno, I'm just lamen. :confused:
[Touch CDMA Android Development] TheKartus:
It is impossible without Rosie. AFAIK. The programs are closed source and need to run from the HTC closed source system to function.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] MOUSEY:
Anyone got the email client working in JAC1.6 ? I used the HTC Android widget but unable to click on it to launch the setup...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
It's not there. wait for the next build.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] 2girls1cup:
there seems to be a problem with the audio in 1.6. After a while the sound becomes distorted. Im using a kaiser, any solutions for this?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] aross6:
For anyone interested, HTC just tweeted that the HTC Magic kernal source has been posted with live changes... just thought I'd share the wealth: http://developer.htc.com/

Also, are the latest Zenulator releases still on 320x480 resolution? If so any news when it'll be 320x428?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
Will it help in any way? we are still in 2.6.25...

And btw, it still says: 2009/07/30
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Brshk1:
Hi enatefox.

I am playing around with JACHeroski16-kaiser-sqsh and rootfs-8-20-09-CompCache+32MBswap+SquashFS-PMOS69.img in my Kaiser. Thanks to you, Zenulator, pmos69 and others, Hero is working quite well, at least to give it a try.

Only one thing is really annoying. Incoming calls just ring for one second before getting lost. I have read that you proposed using renice with cron to speed the phone process. My problem is that I don't know how to use cron with this version, or whether it is supported at all.

When I enter the terminal and type crontab -e, the shell complains about no /var/spool/cron/crontab. I haven't found more information about this, so it would be really nice if you could throw some light or at least, show me where to start.

Thanks in advance.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zakkain:
I can't get past the starting HTC and Hero animations with the newest files (sqsh). It loops the two starting animations with the extremely loud sounds over and over. I tried the premade data.img and still no dice.

I think it might be that I'm using a wrong file in the mix. There's so many different .img's, rootfs's, initrd's and all the other files, I don't know what to bundle together. Help - can someone list the latest bundle of files that I need to get JACHeroski 1.6 etc working?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Ok I've fixed mail and exchange support so now you get the whole package it will be up in a second. Very fast with just compcache and no backingstore or swap on. Image is regular cramfs.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] 2girls1cup:
zenulator what about the audio issues? sound becomes glitchy and distorted. Is there any fix for that?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
Nice, about to test it. Can you share what you did? Would help me figure out other things to work on I'm sure

Brshk1, there isn't cron support in Android but you can set a timeout with bash. I have yet to really test the performance weight of running the script to call responsiveness though. Would love feedback.

#!/bin/bash
while [ 1 ]
do
renice -20 `pidof com.android.mms`
renice -19 `pidof com.android.phone`
renice -18 `pidof mediaserver`
renice 0 `pidof com.google.process.gapps`
sleep 500
done

Any improvements would be nice too. You can run that as a script file and add "&" to fork it to the background or use something like Gscript to launch it from the desktop
[Touch CDMA Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
So, doc, are you suggesting that we use a rootfs w/o the above (if so, which would you prescribe?) or are you saying that even WITHOUT the above it runs fast?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
Are system changes all that radical or can the current data.img be mantained?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Brshk1:
Thanks a lot, enatefox.

I'll try your script and report back. Now I understand why you said every 30 seconds... I couldn't figure how to do that with cron.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Haven't tested that. Go for it. If you want you can delete your dalvik cache inside the data.img to try and preserve all your settings yet have the system reinitialize all the apps. (I think...never tried it)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
HTC Sync

Has anyone managed to get the HTC Sync application to talk to your vogue/kaiser?

...maybe not... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=519429
[Touch CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
Hoping it's a fluke. Got a lockup trying to set My Location for weather widget. It recovered after a few minutes, tried again and needed to soft reset. My AP at work instantly was detected which is new (the signal is almost 0 where I'm at). I'm wondering what was done to get mail widget working so I can see if it was somehow related. Before weather was working great.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
Looking good. :D

Kept data.img from previous jac. Booted like a champ.

In the mean time, here are 2 updated versions of your build:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
I'll upload them in a little while.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zakkain:
Hey zen, now that I've got you here....I'd really appreciate it if you uploaded a Bundle with everything (besides haret etc) in one zip onto Google Code, there's so many variations of files for the latest versions and not everything works with everything else. I've tried all morning different combinations and different SD cards and I've had to revert to an older build for now.

Anyway I'd really appreciate it if you cleared up the confusion a bit and uploaded a bundle of the latest files that all work together. Thanks!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
Ok, on a less than crappy wifi AP, weather is all good. Must have been hung up on a poor connection so that's probably an HTC thing. At least with this newer image, the keylock works at bootup instead of lagging to the point of unusability. Haven't found an issue yet that hasn't been reported
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
ok.

just a suggestion, but you could probably clean some of the files in the google code page. :-/

It would also help you with your quota issues...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Did that a couple hours ago. My isp is down and I don't feel like uploading from my vogue. :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
18mbps connection if you need help.

Am I the only one having issues with the mail widget and Gmail? This wasn't a problem previously. Can't seem to authenticate. Maybe I suck but anyone got it working? Widget's got Exchange and POP. Wasn't there a Gmail option too?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
yup. and I thing market is another victim of that...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
I signed in, Market works fine. All I have is Exchange and POP. I'll check my Gmail settings to see that's enabled but I didn't have to worry before. I'm almost positive there was an option for it before.. I can enable POP for it but would rather it "just work." Zen, any insight on how you fixed the app so I can try to get it this fixed?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] natefish:
Nice and fast new build.

I just want to change my wallpaper without touchflo reloading. I'm not saying that is a bug which the porters are responsible for, I am just seeking help. Why is this such a difficult task for the OS? Does it have to do with what rootfs I am using? I was using rootfs-8-20-09-30MBcc

Edit: Just tried it with pmos69's version of the above rootfs and it worked better.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
My Downloads from Market is empty with this new build. I can't imagine any logical reason for that but that's the case. Luckily, not a big deal since I can rip them from my old data.img but it's odd.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
It's been that way for most hero builds. Same thing with the mail widget. You've always had to use pop with your gmail account and the mail widget. It's not integrated with the gmail app.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
Market downloads and Gmail in the widget worked in 8-15. It's not a big deal because if I had to thumb-flip all of my messages on the home screen I would an hero immediately but was just wondering if it was a fixable thing.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] skydirt:
I just selected pop3/other and entered my gmail info and it added it no problem.

Has anyone got the weather to work on the digital clock yet?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
what problems are you having with the clock
[Touch CDMA Android Development] skydirt:
The weather isn't showing. Using the digital/weather clock form the HTC widgets. Clock works, but it's blank where the weather normally is.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] natefish:
Yes, that one also saved my market downloads, but no other ones have since. I use Appmanager and just reinstall from there every time. I've also been using mybackup for sms, call logs, bookmarks, etc. and it's AWESOME for that. It will also do applications, but it takes longer than appmanager.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] natefish:
You're not alone. This is still a problem that has yet to be resolved by the porters. All we can hope for is that jac, who makes the xROM's will give us the widget that mimicks the flip clock. Jac, if you see this, this is me begging.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
Weather widget donate. Only thing is it never updates. It was 4pm and I saw the clock was still saying 11am. It never touched my phone again.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] natefish:
I can't say enough good things about the latest JAC release/port. This is SO much better than anything else.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
android market isnt showing anything but free apps for me, not sure how long this is been goin on but it has been a day or so since ive seen an app with a price in the market:confused:
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
OK I fixed gmail in the mail widget. I'll put it in on the next release.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] natefish:
I had that problem the first couple times I added it, but not after. Deskbar did that too, so it may not be the widget.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
So when's that next release? That was quick.

I've got all apps showing in market but.. who pays for apps.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
i dont, just thought it was weird that no paid apps were showing up in the market for me, thats all....
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
well i can release the gmail in the mail widget fix now. is there anything else that needs to be fixed?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
I can't think of anything besides the usual things. I should be able to wipe the dalvik-cache and apps from data.img and be okay with it right? Also, you've released 1.5 and 1.6 with wifi interfaces enabled in build.prop. You think you could hardlink the wifi files in? Shouldn't make a difference since it's G1 files there now. Then it would be one image for Kaiser and Vogue, maybe Polaris
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
We'll about that wifi....if I run logcat while booting unable to load wifi floods the screen. thats why they are usually commented out. i left them out in these builds because i didn't edit the build.prop.

what about mylocation in the weather widget? is it working?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] 2girls1cup:
has the wallpaper issue been addressed? if not I want to reiterate that the wallpaper does not change when using standard wallpaper change method.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
You've released system.img's with wifi uncommented for Vogue so all that was needed was the right files. I don't know what the difference is since Dream wifi files are there by default. Either way, my location is working just fine. I blame my work's crap AP which HTC probably never expected so it stalled waiting to download the map to set my location. As soon as I got home on my precious WRT54 it worked perfectly the second I tried. Wallpaper from the home screen or Gallery works 10/10 times. That's 2/10 times more than before. I really can't think of anything major except kernel development which is already being worked on, call responsiveness and then minor issues outstanding. I just feel better when I can show off the mail widget-- it's not that big of a deal.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] los1223:
I'm still using one of the old builds because of the text messaging issues with the hero builds. Text messaging is probably my number one priority. Has that all been ironed out in the latest build?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] 2girls1cup:
what bundle of files are you using enatefox?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
data.img

system.img

rootfs.img but I removed the swap file to spare my SD card's life

zImage

initrd.gz hasn't really changed that I know of. Any should do

I might not need the data.img from Zen now. I used to love AthineOS but it somehow removed HardSPL and I've moved on to better. It started to get real weird and I blame it for my boot loop issue I had. If you get stuck, use that data.img.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] 2girls1cup:
ok thanks a bunch fox
[Touch CDMA Android Development] 2girls1cup:
enatefox in the bundle, the link for the zimage is for rootfs-8-18-2009. am I supposed to use both rootfs.img files? or is that a post error?
