[Touch Cruise Android Development] gigi-muschi:
I understand and i'm sorry. Please the administrator to delete all my posts on this topic.

Thanks.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] BelgicanoFL:
Well don't be mean to gigi, he or she is allowed to make criticism, I think Wifi thing should have been solved already by now, how complicated it might have been. 1 year is really long.

Although I do appreciate the work those people pull off, If I had any knowledge I'd so try to help figure it out anytime ! Keep up the work.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] elmot:
if im not way out, the wifi is solved.

but there is more than one android.

1.5

android Hero

this is a thread about the Hero android and acording to http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/downloads/list?can=1&q=&sort=-uploaded&colspec=Type+Filename+Summary+U

You have to disable PIN code in Windows Mobile before booting Android! :-)

[Touch Cruise Android Development] :
The GPS button acts like a back button. You can also make the red phone button act like a home button in the app Spare Parts. :-)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] BelgicanoFL:
Running it, it's okay, Not switching to android just yet.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] egdarliborio:

[Touch Cruise Android Development] radem205:
Try change the board-htcpolaris.panel_type to 1,2 or 3. And delete the mddi_client_vogue.vsync=0 .
[Touch Cruise Android Development] life02:
EVERYONE PLEASE READ OR DON'T EXPECT HELP. There is a wealth of android information in this forum as well as on the kaiser and the vogue forums.

Additionally, this build is for TESTING ONLY!!!!!!! STUFF DON'T WORK so get over it.

Look here for the (Official Build) bundle

There is an installation how-to as well as links for more help.

[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
Why don't you use the defaut.txt avalaible in the first post!

If you want to test this version try to use the good files.

Have you try to change panel 0 / 1 ?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] pandomu:
I've changed it and it still doesn't work... always after first boot screen it turns into black...

any idea?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
@pandomu which files are you using? fresh SD?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] pandomu:
from the first post:

- 13.08.2009 / 10:25 (GMT+2) - http://kaiser-hero.googlecode.com/fi...o-130809-1.zip

what does it mean "fresh SD"?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
A card SD just format witout any other files. just the files from the package.

Have you download the new systeme.img?

Can you modify the default.txt correctly by the one in the first post? and just change the panel to 0 1 2 or 3 don't delete any other option.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] pandomu:
where can I find last system.img?

I downloaded kaiser-hero-130809-1 zip file with system.img from 2009-08-13 9:45, 1460KB

Yes I tried every combination with 0, 1, 2 and 3 (1 and 2 doesnt work at all on my POLARIS).

I will try now to format SD Card...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
have you change the name of the system.img too ?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] pandomu:
no, I didn't chage it...

What should be the name?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] zy2zyy:
change it to system.img
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
Edit mistaken
[Touch Cruise Android Development] pandomu:
sorry, I don't understand...

which line in default.txt should be change into system.img ?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
Sorry my mistake i was speaking about zImage file/line.

You just have to rename the system_01/01/01blablabla.img to system.img
[Touch Cruise Android Development] pandomu:
ok, now its clear and I understand...

but its the way I have done it and it still truns into black screen...

I formated my SD card, tried 3 diferent bundles, i changed panel.TYPE 0123...

Could it be becouse of my Polaris ROM?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
It could be your rom and/or your radio, or your SD (try with different SD).

Which one are you using?

Can you tell me what files you have put on your SD before trying to launch Android.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] pandomu:
I am using: c_shekhar WM1.60.21014aCS WWE ROM (build 21014.1.6.0) and 1.58.25.14 radio

before putting android files i formated my SD card, but before format there we very diferent type of files, mp3, wmv, wav etc... why you are asking?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] zy2zyy:
bundle may not works for us.

try this combination: zimage-15-08-09 + rootfs-2009-08-15.zip + system-nkhero-2009-08-12.img
[Touch Cruise Android Development] pandomu:
I will try it and let you know if it works...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
I would like you to tell me which files you have at the root of your SD card now.

To see if there are all files need and with the good name to begin.

I personnaly use:

http://vogue-hero.googlecode.com/files/zen-hero-090809.zip

and change the system.img by this one http://vogue-hero.googlecode.com/files/system-kaiser-wifi2.img

and change the default by the one in the first post of this thread, that's all i did.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] pandomu:
sorry... same thing

after first boot screen tuns into black - no other screens (HTC screen or HERO screen)...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] zy2zyy:
really weird...

maybe you need update the radio and rom to 1.59 series..

mine: 1.59.46.12 + wm6.5 23004
[Touch Cruise Android Development] pandomu:
It works!!!

You were right, when I changed SD card android started...

I tried with diferent bundles and each one works.

All my troubles happened becouse of SD card (Kingstone SDHC 8GB).

In fact it was quite simple... (:

Thanks all of you for your help!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] dfusina:
It works .... and it really nice ....

I would like test it better... do you know how to set the APN, actulally my is empty. DO you think it work whit a wap flat apn?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
You can set the apn in the default.txt or you can set it by typping menu button when you are in the apn menu
[Touch Cruise Android Development] taniwha913:
cool, it works but :- i have no internet connection,

- when a receive a call, (or make a call) i do not hear anything, dunno why...

- it doesn't detect any network but sfr is on and i can send sms and receive calls (without sound...)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
you should make the first call, then phone works ok
[Touch Cruise Android Development] vestlink:
Hi.

I may be an ass or something.

When i try to remove "Require PIN when the phone is used" option and use my PIN I get this message "warning: Invalid Old password. please try again.

Where am I going wrong? Is it not the same PIN as the one I use when log on to my phone?

Nicolai
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
PIN doesnt work, need to be without it
[Touch Cruise Android Development] merkman:
So I'm a little confused. I've always flashed my Touch Cruise using Activesync, not a memory card. So I looked around before I posted and found this thread...

How to flash Polaris from memory card

But they dont mention anything about the default.txt file, which I notice we MUST change to get this ROM working on our Polaris / Touch Cruise. Do we just copy ALL the files we want to use to the memory card, and it figures things out? Do we need to rename the file?

Heck, if there is a way to do this flash with Activesync I'd be more familiar with the process. Can we?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] radem205:
You are talking about flashing the bootloader, but for now you only can use android using haret. So copy all the file to you sd card and launch haret.exe in windows.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] pt-1:
You are confusing two things.

At present the Android runs within Windows...

You add this software to the root of your Memory Card and then start Android from within Windows with a tool caleld Hareet via the File Explorer.

Please read the existing topics
[Touch Cruise Android Development] merkman:
Many thanks to both above. Coming into this thread without any other Android or Hero knowledge, I didn't even know what Haret was. Having done my reading, I've learned a lot, and like others here got it working! I used...

kaiser-hero-130809-1.zip

system-081509.img -> renamed to system.img and overwriting the file from above

default.txt -> copied from 1st post into a .txt and overwrote file from above

Now I'm playing with widgets, made a test phone call, etc. Phone would NOT work with the Kaiser build in the first post btw.

Thanks to all. Now I don't have to buy a Hero to play with it for a little while. ;)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] freddycs:
Latest Android Hero released by mssmison

New Hero build based on lastest update from Haykuro is now released, click HERE

i have downloaded it and will test it tonight :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
Nice job as fast as Drizzy to release new rom :) Hope it will be smoother than previous
[Touch Cruise Android Development] radem205:
It´s smoother and faster then the previous builds, but sometimes it´s laggy too. Which rootfs do your guys using? Is there a big difference between the several rootfs files?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
I personnaly use the Newbie16 modify version cause i make tests with it on IRC
[Touch Cruise Android Development] midafaya:
last version is really better !

much smoother, i don't know if it's because of the new system.img or because i used a diferent rootfs

i used this one :

http://vogue-android.googlecode.com/files/rootfs-2009-08-18.zip

it's maybe thanks to the swap that is done with this new rootfs

someone has tested diferent?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bedelaitre:
Latest build doen't work for me ... can't receive or pass a call ...

:(
[Touch Cruise Android Development] freddycs:
ya..same for me.. not able to make call, but no problem wiwth receiving calls.

the speed is a lot faster, but if you add more widget it become more slower.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] BelgicanoFL:
I noticed something. With the cupcake version the pixels are set 320 * 428 and the font is a lot sharper, and less blurred. Could that would with hero also? or not?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] BelgicanoFL:
How do i set the apn settings for my htc polaris :

My apn = internet.proximus.be

id = none

password = none

Tried various things and still nothing
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
apn in default .txt or under android menu /settings/ apn / add
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bedelaitre:
OK. Now it works. I haven't downloaded the latest version ... buh ...

But now, how can I know what is supposed to work or not (GPS, WIFI, BT, ...) ?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Leryan:
Phone - yes

SMS - yes

MMS - don't know

GPS - yes

GPRS - yes

Wi-Fi - no

Bluetooth - no

Camera - no
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bedelaitre:
OK.

But it seems that GPS doesn't work for me ... GPS Status and Nav4All always indicate 0 satellite... And also altitude 0m

But, I was able to use Nav4All but I thought it was using Cells phone positionning ...

is there any other appli to test my GPS to be sure it is working ?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] BelgicanoFL:
Everything is working now. I hope they soon fix the wifi thing for polaris, cause getting on the net with my current operator is expensive, €0.10/min.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bedelaitre:
I've tried Copilot Live (Navigation program), and GPS is working, except that the signal is not stable ... and the application is freezing.

I've tried with latest rootfs and image, but nothing better.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] merkman:
Has anyone else had problems with only some of the music on their memory card showing up in the Hero rom? I haven't figured out if there is a way to "update the library" like in WMP, but I'm definately missing a lot of stuff.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] BelgicanoFL:
It shows up automatically, but it's very slow, probaly because of the os and music running at the sd at the same time...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] djsb:
sound

After boot the phone and sound works great. Ringtones, voice calls, music... all play without problems, but after using the phone for the first time after each boot, the polaris gets no sound anymore on calls or playing music...

I'm using:

- the last versions found on http://code.google.com/p/vogue-hero/downloads/list

Anyone had experienced the same?

Best regards you all

I got the android running on my polaris, but i dont get past the pin and cant get into android. What do i have to do to get into android and behind pin?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] BelgicanoFL:

[Touch Cruise Android Development] chopsui:
Is there a document anywhere that lists the hardware button actions? Also, it's really annoying that it keeps restarting the UI everytime you go back to the home
[Touch Cruise Android Development] BelgicanoFL:
gps = back , end = power on off key , e = more options , green i don't remeber.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] shizny:
when i last tried this rom, it maybe F-d my device up, cuz after i tried it, my polaris started to do funny things like shutting itself down, crashing, freezing, and when i pressed reset button, it didnt even restart, it shutted doen the device and didnt do nothing.

Even taking the battery out didnt help, cuz the device didnt even start up, pressed power on buton many times but still nothing, even reset button didnt work.

Maybe someone had the same problem.

[Touch Cruise Android Development] dfusina:
Hi

I have installed the lestest version of the Vogue portion (JACxHeroski1.6r2a-squashfs-bundle ), it is really nice, apn connections works as teh market, the sms , the msm, the email, contacts and calendar.

Really good, but i have an annoing problem, the ring tone reciveing calls it doesn't work, or more the phone it does nothing neather a vibration or an incoming message...

is it a system bug or a setting problem?

thank for any suggestion.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] aitsch:
i've made a backup of an working android installation on my device in a seperate directory (/storage card/android bkp) to try a some other .img files, rootfs,... . after i've restored my backup android is not working anymore. No phone, system processes stops,...

i only backuped an restored the following files:

initrd.gz

rootfs

system.img

default.txt

zImage

but i think there are some more depended files because every new image has all my system customizing included. i've no idea where android stores this (and maybe also more) entries.

What is to do to remove android completely to reinstall from scratch?

thx - aitsch
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
With this files on the root of your SD card you can boot a new android from scratch.

initrd.gz
rootfs
system.img
default.txt
zImage
haret.exe
[Touch Cruise Android Development] aitsch:
this was exactly my understanding of the systemfiles.

but after i've replaced all these files android remembers my APN, system language, the layout of all widgets and maybe more.

default.txt and haret.exe are the only untouched files, means i've used allways the same and only backup / restore the other 4 files. could that be the reason?

aitsch
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Kiiv:
I think it's all stored in 'data.img'.

This file is created automatically at the first boot. Try to save it to restore your environment later.

In the same way, if you want to try an other build you have to delete this file before booting the new build.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] aitsch:
yes, this is the reason - many thx.

[Touch Cruise Android Development] tcvaio:
Hi all,

i'm out of romupgrade business for sometime. Could anyone kindly provide steps to install android on the polaris. Thanx:)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
@tcvaio there are lot of post which descirbe step y step how to install android on polaris use search button ;)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] tcvaio:
thank man :(
[Touch Cruise Android Development] hambola:
Seriously, like imfloflo said use the search. Here are quick instructions to help you get started. A few posts ago, post #121 listed the files needed:

initrd.gz

rootfs

system.img

default.txt

zImage

haret.exe

You need to put those files in the root directory of your Storage Card. Make sure default.txt has the correct display panel for your Polaris. Then start Haret.

copied the files onto an old sdcard and took the lines from the first post for the default.txt.

and? it works, have to figure out how to use the gui but the only annoying thing is that the gui often restarts and I don't know how to come back from the dial-pad to the home screen...

but I like it so far.

**edit** changed to the older files and it's working really good, synced with Companionlink Synchronize - nearly usable as normal rom

**edit2** but it's too slow to be able to pick up a call.

please let me know what did u do ??? thanks in advance
[Touch Cruise Android Development] fusione:
With:

You mean wifi on polaris ? Are you using same files like me (and fusione) ?
