It will only give you a small improvement, since SquashFS is more efficient than CramFS both in terms of compression and performance.

But it's not a big increase by any means.

A big increase in performance will come when you upgrade your phone's internal memory to 1GB ;)

I have an Italian Vodafone1615 original (WM 6.0). I have the original rom and never mounted hardspl and custom ROM. I've tried the normal version of Android (1.5) and have no problem. Whit hero version (I tried the last version of JACHeroski) it comes to htc logo and crash. Any solution? The problem can is WM 6,0?

Tanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pmos69:
in your default.txt, be sure that mddi.height=480
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] lupone67:
Tanks, but befor post i have read all known issues and how to solve.

Anyone that have tried with vodafone 1615?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] slovoflud:
I want my Kaiser back!!!

you devs are amazing!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] lupone67:
Yes. Maybe the problem is my default:

The last one tath i've tried is

set RAMSIZE 0x08000000

set MTYPE 1553

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

set cmdline "ppp.username=xxx ppp.password=xxx mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 msm_sdcc.msmsdcc_fmax=32000000 pm.sleep_mode=0 board-htcvogue.panel_type=1 lcd.density=160 board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt=0 no_console_suspend ppp.nostart=1"

boot

Otherwise i have installed a lot of programs (i have a no cooked rom) and only 25 mb ram free.

Hi all,

Have started the HERO on my Kaiser.. Works great :D

Internet access is also working on my T-Mobile account.

Developers you did a great job :D

Keep up the good things
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Try the premade data.img on Vogue-Hero project site. I did not try the squashFS version yet but the original one required me to use that data.img or it would lock up at boot. 25Mb seems rather small..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pmos69:
That's 25MB of memory for compression (about 100MB of compressed, in-memory swap)

Either way, you can use the other rootfs with SquashFS support, with swapfile.

I don't know which one behaves better, that's why I made both versions.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] szymonunion:
lupone67,

I see you took my default.txt.

First at all you should change ppp.username and ppp.password to your operator's defaults.

Try to find your settings here http://www.androidonhtc.com/carrier_network_settings. If you will not find just leave these options blank (remove xxx).

These four files should be in the root of SD card.

Regards,

I was referring to his phone, Vodafone1615 having 25Mb and freezing at boot:

I just tried the sqsh image and got invalid argument too
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pmos69:
just checked. there's a bug in rootfs in loading compcache when there's no backing store. testing a corrected version now...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] JeckyllHavok:

and change the board-htcvogue.panel_type=1

I had the same issue with my kaiser. You should upgrade to WM 6.1 (or 6.5). After I upgraded, it worked like a charm.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
Not really... just tried it...

It boots and etc... but after that, i get the lock screen, i can see the networking is already working... etc... but when i unlock, i get the black BG, white HTC logo... and thats it...

networking = I can see that i am on a vodafone network... on the top bar... for slight seconds...

Wait!!! Got it ... i have to slide it quick after the screen start, before the usual screen lock.

Now, add the cpu overclock to startup.txt...

Desregard that... Wizard crashed... back to square one... :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Use Zen's premade data.img. That's the only way I can get past that loop

No, I really do have to use that image or it will not boot. Others have that issue too but not everyone. It will simply never load Touchflo without the data.img
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] natalic:
I will link to data.img then. Since it is happening to you then I trust it is a real issue. I will go and put a link to it.

in my kaiser there os no hero - htc loop at startup, it only hangs at the htc logo(animation stops after a while).the default is as described in known issues.

when i push the power off button it wents normaly in standby,another push and it comes back (with fade). but there is still the htc logo

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ljinsane:
this is right and wrong...wifi is working...the builds that are not working are NOT kaiser specifics builds...The kaiser specific builds are working

This is kinda why this thread is not needed(no disrespect)...too many different threads and just more confusion.

I would suggest that this thread server as JUST a place to add current fully working HERO(slow or not) builds for the Kaiser and that all development trouble shooting questions go to the other threads:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Razva:
Read http://code.google.com/p/kaiser-hero/wiki/Known_Issues you have the fix there.

No, we're still waiting for a new build from the coders. I'm trying another build right now, I'll keep you posted.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Razva:
Don't get me wrong, but at the hour I made the bundle WiFi WASN'T working on the LATEST build. It was working on a modified image, but still the moddification was not made by the "official" coders, but by another XDA user.

30 minutes ago the coders posted another img, I'm testing it right now.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ljinsane:
and the bundle you're referring to is NOT an Kaiser specific build...it was just hoped that it would work on the kaiser...there is a differnce.

Just keep this thread as a working builds download area...otherwise it's useless. It makes no sense to have a 4th page that has questions about issues ect.

especially since you are not the one coding or building the releases.

the point is to keep this process as clear and clean as possible...:D

again no disrespect...just saying
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Razva:
Exactly, that's what this thread does :D If you notice that one of the bundles here is older that the latest built from the coders, please, let me know! That's the whole idea, offer a working version to the community.

Maybe you can help me with this? :rolleyes:

Later edit: WiFi is not working with zenulator's latest system.img. I suppose that it works on Vogue but on Kaiser is still not functional, or at least it doesn't works on my device.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Just an FYI, this is how I got wifi working. Please don't ask me to link a system.img for you because I won't. This is what you need:

add this: /bin/wlan_loader2

swap this: /bin/wlan_loader

swap this: /etc/wifi/*

swap this: /lib/modules/wlan.ko

uncomment tiwlan0 in build.prop
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Andre_die_fifa_lusche:
i think you mean this:

Q: The HERO logo appears than reboots over and over

A: Doublecheck that you have the correct settings in default.txt (mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 lcd.density=160)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Razva:
Than sorry...I personally don't know any other solution. Tomorrow I'll upload another build, a little bit more stable and with more widgets.

I've stated this issue, along with the solution, at http://code.google.com/p/kaiser-hero/wiki/Known_Issues (Q2).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Assface:
"board-htckaiser.panel_type=0" fixed the quality for me.

But after trying this build for a while and then pressing the power button twice, screen got garbled and i couldnt do anything other then jerk the battery out.....well that was my solution.

But now my phone i black and dead.....hmmm...

Only one green led lights up when i press the power button.

Bricked by Android?

Crap....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
You can't brick with Haret. You should power cycle. Hold the power button down with the battery out for about 30 seconds. Put it back in and try. If anything, pulling the battery out did it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Assface:
Well it never happened before and i think ive jerked the battery out while up and running many times before, never this fatal though.

I think it was my fault also, i dont blame android/haret, just got surprised.

Lets hope it wakes up....

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Only variance I can think of is what ROM we're running.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] natalic:
Rom as in Windows? Or the system.img?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
People have had issues with booting/loading Android due to the ROM they use. I use AthineOS, a lot of people use Hyperdragon and most people seem to be able to use it. Also, Android in general doesn't load too well with 6.0 ROMs but upgrading to 6.1 almost always seems to fix that. If I had to take an uneducated guess, different ROMs might pass what they see as free resources to Haret and that is a limiting factor in the amount of RAM available to the OS. No idea, seems reasonable.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pjcforpres:
Might it be the default.txt causing this? I have one with RAM size set to 0x080... and another with 0x0700.... Maybe that makes a difference? I am not sure what exactly this setting does, I am using the one with 0x0800... and have the boot loop issue without data.img already included. What do you all have your data.img RAM size set to?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
not at all related. just use the settings from default.txt that comes with a bundle. also, data.img != RAM
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] natalic:
I personally use the micro-windows 6.5 by witchey (typo?). When Haret boots, it doesnt get its ram settings from windows, it just boots the system into a new rom...I think
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pjcforpres:
Sorry, wasn't clear on that part... I have one default that came with a bundle with the "set RAMSIZE" line with 0x07... and one that has it set to 0x08..., both of them were in Kaiser specific bundles. I noticed that Vogue based default.txt tend to have the 8, and Kaiser specific tend to have the 7, but I have a Kaiser specific one with it set to the 0x08.... I think it came with a PureBlack bundle? I haven't noticed any performance or stability differences between the 2. Only reason I even noticed this is that I do mod the default.txt file to have my apn settings in it, and try to use as many files from the bundle as possible.

Guys,

strange, because I am using JACHeroski16-kaiser-sqsh.zip and all is working fine. Booting is fine, even data.img is creating new one if there is no this file.

I see that new rootfs is available for this build (rootfs-8-20-09-CompCache+32MBswap+SquashFS-PMOS69.img) so I will download it right now and I will reboot Kaiser.

Ci tried several different roms to fix that issue finally wound up with TPC rom which is an excellent rom to go back to for winmo.

I did not test GPRS yet, but I will check it at home.

Before this version I am using now Internet via GPRS was working fine with togga and (later) with modem app w/o problems.

Rotating I will check also at home, because now I am using WinMo and I do not have enough time to start Android OS ;)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] MiZi666:
settings -> sound & display -> UNCHECK adjustment. now the rotation will work correctly..

i'm using the

JACHeroski16-kaiser-sqsh.zip with

rootfs-8-20-09-CompCache+32MBswap+SquashFS-PMOS69.img

and it works like a dream! fast & very smooth.. no sms/call error. wifi, gprs, market, .. are working.

thanks to the developers for their hard work!

ps: when it's time to release the first android rom, that replace winmo completely?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] johnypcguru:
I'm sure this has been answered before but, for the 180 degree screen rotation, you go to Settings>Sound & display, then scroll down to where it says Orientation and make sure that box is UNchecked.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] szymonunion:
MiZi666,

maybe with rootfs-8-20-09-CompCache+32MBswap+SquashFS-PMOS69.img it is fast&smooth, because w/o it is not ;)

I will test it at home.

Hi there,

I've been using "JACHeroski16-kaiser-sqsh.zip" for two days now and must say it works better than any other Hero I have tried... but...

I have started experiencing strange problem, scratchy sound when phone's asleep.

If I play some music with media player or receive calls when phone is in stand by (display off) it sounds scratchy, kinda scrambled.

Anyone had this problem and know a solution or some kind of fix?

Is there a file somewhere I could download to enable the exchange email program in the older builds? I am not sure if it is Android or HTC based, I want to say Android since it showed up as "mail", and was in the shortcut list of Android, not HTC, apps.

If not, I will just dl a 3rd party, but I much preferred the built in one that was titled "mail" over the 3rd party apps I have tried.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
pjcforpres, that's a HTC app. Zen just fixed Exchange support and is about to upload another with Gmail support. It's the compliment to the mail widget from Hero
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pjcforpres:
Cool! I will keep my eyes out for it! I can't wait to get my hands on a proper computer and some greater system knowledge, then I will be sure to try and help out with these things in a more meaningful way. At least some beer money in a couple weeks when I collect my big bonus check.

yep. this latest update works quite nice.

however I have an issue with the location feature.

is there an option to configure these offsets ??

I am just wondering where these offsets are coming from.

I've tried the newest img with the data file posted most recently, and certain process hang on book like touch.input and touchflo.

I found the newest build to be slow and unresponsive (maybe having to do with the hung processes) I chose keep wait, not kill. Should i have killed the hung processes?

Any how i don't know if its just me but eve after giving the phone somewhere around 10 minutes to boot, when i click the menu button it take about a second to load. When it loads it takes another second to scroll down to the next page.

When y'all say it is responsive do you mean like wm 6.0 responsive, or like 6.5 responsive?

If so what am i doing wrong?

This Build looks great on kaiser. Just a couple of problems : sms doesn't work , Missed call notification doesnt work ,and is there any way to connect it to a windows vista PC to read the content on SD card. I installed the latest HTC sync software but still windows can't find the right drivers when i connect the phone. thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] siulmagic:
you cant mount the sd card since android is on the sd card, but there is ah way to actually mount it but you would have to partition it(theres a guide somewere that tells what you have to do and how many partitions you need so it works) to make that work, all in all its not really necessary when you have afile a program to transfer file's to android via wifi witch works just fine and its plenty fast.
