i installed this build yesterday, everything works fine ,wifi ,calls,sms etc.

only things i found was no pc sync which is a know problem and i have not found a build that does sync.

but the major problem i have is massive battery drain, its so bad when i plug it in to the charger it say there is not current to charge the phone.

Problem booting system-jacheroski16-wifi.sqsh

Hello everyone,

I am new to this hero build and squash File System..

i have downloaded "JACHeroski16-kaiser-sqsh" and extracted the files on to the SD card root and used the Haret.exe and default.txt of "kaiser-hero-130809-1"

Now on booting up i get an error

/dev/block/loop0: *** FILE SYSTEM WAS CHANGED***

/dev/block/loop0: 550/32768 files (2.3% non-contiguous), 21170/131072 blocks

losetup:/dev/block/loop`: No such directory

Failed

Failed to find the system.img on SD Card

/bin/sh1 can't access ttyl job control turned off

/#

can anyone one help me out solving this error..

Regards,

Abhilash M
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] MiZi666:
rename the ""JACHeroski16-kaiser-sqsh" to "SYSTEM.SQSH" (without "")

short: SQSH will be the new "system.img" format, i think ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] victorhora:
new build

yeah, i have to say that the Hero build have a nice interface...

but i'm still not having any luck with it :(

I have just installed the new build from Jacheroski according to pm69 post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4416987&postcount=917

I'm using these:

* Kaiser jacheroski1.6 + Exchange + Wifi + SquashFS image

* The latest kernel zImage compile (2009-08-26) with SquashFS support

* An updated rootfs.img that adjusts the swappiness setting to the sensitivity of the new kernel

This is what i did to install the new build:

1 - Erase everything related to the old build on my SDCARD, to make sure i got a "fresh install"

2 - Copyed all the files to the root of the SDCARD

3 - Renamed:

* rootfs-2009-08-26-CompCache+32MBswap+SquashFS.img to rootfs.img

* system-jacheroski1.6+mail+wifi.sqsh to system.sqsh;

* zImage-2009-08-26+SquashFS to zImage.

On my tests the performance got even worse!! :(

this is what i noticed:

* On the first boot, it halted with several "Not responding" messages (i always selected "Wait"). I had to do a soft-reset on it.

* On the second boot, i waited... and no luck again. The screen got off just after the "HTC" splash screen, and i could turn it on again. This time, instead of soft-resetting, i dialed from another phone and dropped the call.

I selected the language and all that thing you need to do on the first boot.

* The browser loaded after 8 seconds or so...

* The dialer was slow also, taking > 5 seconds to load. And after typing a few digits, it locked for a period and the sound from the dial tones became "scratchy/noisy"

* The overall speed of the system was slower than the previous "Natalic build"

* Wi-Fi not working

One good thing i noticed on this newer version, is that the "Return to home"/Running apps" function (Internet Explorer button on HTC Kaiser) got a great improvement in speed. On the other build it took more than 5 seconds to switch from one program to the other.

I saw several people saying that this version is very smooth.

So i'm wondering, i'm doing anything wrong? Or i'm just "pushing too far for a beta"?

One more time, i would like to congratulate everyone who is involved in porting, developing, testing and building all of these.

Thanks in advance.

Use the files from this post. I hit force close when asked if I wanted to wait or close, and it is the fastest anything I have ever had on my Kaiser. WiFi works and everything, not sure why yours does not with the files you listed, it should be... did you have WiFi turned on in WM before you booted up Android? If not, turn WiFi on before you boot android.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] szymonunion:
Guys,

there is no need to turn WiFi in WinMo ;) It is working fine w/o it.There is completely no need to run *anything* in WinMo before booting to Android.

Regards,
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pjcforpres:
Really? Since the only way WiFi will work in Android for me is if I have it turned on in WM when I boot Android. Same thing with GPS. We all have different cooked ROMs/HSPL/Radio combos. What might be true for you is not true for us all.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] siulmagic:
you might want to delete the calibration file, sometimes when i go from diferent system image's the calibration files becomes incompatible for whatever reason so i have to delete it or else wifi wont turn on, you might whant to delete it and try to turn it on wifi, you shouldn't have to do anything on winmo side before goin to android
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pjcforpres:
I always start with a freshly formatted SD card, with the only carry over from the previous versions being the haret and the default.txt

When I boot with WiFi turned on in WM, it stays turned on until the HTC logo appears, even stays on all the way through the Hero image. It turns off for a little bit, then with the new builds auto turns on during setup. With the older builds, I had to go into settings and turn it on from there of course.

If I didn't have WiFi onin WM it would not work in Android. I could even boot with it off, get the failure message, then soft reset, turn it on, and reboot Android with the data.img and calibration file from the failed WiFi boot, and it would then start working.

No idea why, just know that is how it works with my Kaiser.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] szymonunion:
pjcforpres,

it means only that there are too many ROM's (WinMo). I hope it will be working fine for you - with new ROM for WinMo or new ROM for Android.

Regards,
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] siulmagic:
that's so strange man , iv never had to turn anything on winmo before going to kaiser not even on cupcake
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pjcforpres:
Yeah, it seems off to me too because it is a fresh booting of a different OS, so it shouldn't matter, but it is what it is for me. It doesn't bother me, I love my WM ROM setup, and I love Android even more. If all I have to do is click a couple switches before I boot Android, then I will. You will never hear me complain about having to use a work around. I have cooked several WM ROMs for my own personal use, and know how much work goes into that, let alone an OS port from a totally different device.

I just figured I would let Victorhora know that has been my experience, in case he needs to do the same. Just like some ROMs don't load Android, I am guessing some cause WiFi or GPS radios to stay closed when Android trys to open them if they were not already open when it was booted.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ajclai08:
I'm pretty sure you dont have to port android to a device..just the linux kernel has to be ported in order to boot and use the hardware..But i guess with the exception of screen resolution, though that will change when more native android devices come out.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pjcforpres:
Makes sense, since that is the part of the ROM that relates to hardware specifically. It seems the system.img is tweaked some as well, since the Vogue system.img will not fully work on the kaiser. I haven't jumped too deep into all that stuff, yet. I just haven't had much time to. Work 40 hours a week, school full time, it leaves little free time. My majority of posting comes while at work, and my testing comes when I get home and force myself to take an hour break to do what I want to do.

Hi All,

Use the HERO package also. Works fine after first time startup of the OS.

When i add email, activesync etc .. and restart then get lot of lost sector lines and the os will not startup anymore.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
tasz, there's a lot of Hero bundles. Which one are you using? If it's not the newest from Zenulator then that's probably the reason.

160bpm, what lost sector lines are you talking about? Is it running an fsck on data.img? You need to be a little more specific
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] 160bpm:
haret start > run

then you see the startup linux and in the lines you see for example:

[ 12.45214] end_request: I/O ERROR, ...SKIP... in sector 7010632

[ 12.45215] end_request: I/O ERROR, ...SKIP... in sector 7010633

[ 12.45216] end_request: I/O ERROR, ...SKIP... in sector 7010634

etc etc

it will start but sometimes it will loop and start over and over again with the HERO logo
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Did you let it create a data.img or did you use a premade one? Which build are you using?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Assface:
Where to get complete new packages?

Hi, i have tried a couple of releases, none of the hero/sense ui variants have been as responsive as i want them.

Looking at the video enatefox previously posted i guess he must have some parameters thats different from my current setup.

Would it be possible to update the first post with links to some of the latest kaiser-specific builds with complete packages (excluding haret, default.txt)?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] 160bpm:
I use the kaiser-hero-130809 version. If it is started it is very stable

I now use other SD Card because the one i used was a 16GB card.

Now trying on a 2GB card. Maybe that was the problem.

it restart now for second time without problems.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Not using the same Hero build and I upped compcache's virtual disk size in lieu of a swap file. Since then, I'm on the newest one and it's at least as fast as the video from the very beginning. Before the video, my phone was already running for a little while to "wind it up" in terms of swap. On the newest, it's not needed-- it just works.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] garringm:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=396782&page=774 post#7738 this is similar to what enate is using and close to the same performance I am still trying to fiqure out how to tweak compcache and swap right now but eventually i'll get there. it runs great, I tried zenulators latest rootfs release and did not like it as well as this one. I use no scripts as I get errors on them at boot.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] JeckyllHavok:
Did you get an error that there is no userinit.sh?

If yes try an editor like notepad++(freeware) and edit the file with it, cause most windows editors use other file headers than unix style editors (and android scripts are unix style)

I used notepad++ I get syntax errors saying that I basically have something wrong in my scripts. in the renicer it expects a do and the userinit expects a then I am not linux savvy by no means I am only trying what I see drawn out in front of me.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pmos69:
Try editing the scripts on the phone (open terminal and then use vi) and remove any "^M" characters at the end of lines.

Any line like that will not be correctly interpreted.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pmos69:
Or, if using notepad++, be sure to use format->convert to unix format
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
And you can always run:

sed -i 's/\^M//g' /sdcard/thatfileofyours.sh

as a quick one liner. You can also just save that as a script (no line breaks in a one liner to worry about as well) and just change it like this:

sed -i 's/\^M//g' $1

and use it like: "sh thatscript /sdcard/thatfileofyours.sh" and it will use the parameter in the script ($1 means first thing after the name of the script).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pmos69:
...but ensure that "^M" is "control+M", and not 2 characters :)

What garringm said: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4453243&postcount=7738

But I'm currently running an older rootfs.img that I've tweaked. The system image was also modded for wifi. The details for tweaking performance has been posted a bit. The majority of which is in the last several pages of Zenulator's thread
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] garringm:
let me get this straight compcache is best to use over swap due to sdcard life, when you run free in terminal it shows it as swap is there a way to tell if this is in fact compcache rather than swap or is that based on the rootfs that is in use, I have reverted back to the one from yesterday. I do recall one a while back from 8/16 that used compcache instead of swap is this by chance the file you are using with all your tweaks enate?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
There is a way:

show swaps in use:

cat /proc/swaps

show ramzswap (compcache) utilization:

cat /proc/ramzswap

An example using a 101MB virtual size: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4432626&postcount=1056

I took the rootfs.img in the rootfs-01-09-09.img and just edited init to not run the makeswap() function. Then in /bin/ramzswap I upped the virtual size from 80K to 101K exactly like the link I posted above as an example shows.

Here's a benchmark I did showing the difference between setting the IO elevator from anticipatory to noop. This can be set in default.txt or you can just:

echo "noop" > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/scheduler

to make it take effect immediately.

Hello folks.. I am having a little problem with wifi on Hero. I am using the files from the link natalic gave on post #217 (http://scarlet-arrow.com/builds/Hero/Natalic_Hero_08_18_09_DMAWIFI.rar). Everything seems to work and I can even discover some wifi networks, but I cannot find my own network. When I enter the information manually, it just says that the network is out of range. There is no problems with my router because I have several laptops connected and I can detect it in WinMo. For some reason I just can't detect it in Hero even though I can detect other networks. Is there anything I can do?

Finally got it working, after almost 10 minutes booting.

After 30 minutes playing with it, I've gone back to the compcache build as this one is a big step backwards. It's slower, wifi doesn't work, and neither does data, even after setting up the apn as it was on my old build. No modem app either.

The only thing I did like was that it as a SIM Toolkit. Can someone post an apk for that so I can use it in other builds as needed?

Everything you mention is working on this build, and it's

Those are EXACTLY what I booted. I wiped my SD card and installed those, using only the default.txt from the compcache build. No Wifi, no Data, it's slow to respond, and I had several Force Close's of the TouchFlo process at the start.

My apologies if this was already discussed...

Does this replace WinMo or does it run on top of it? Can I switch back and forth via a reboot or would I have to reflash to get back to WinMo?

Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] FloatingFatMan:
No, it doesn't replace WinMo. You boot to WinMo first, then run a program called Haret, which starts up Linux for you. As yet, there is no flashable version for non-Android native devices.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
More accurately, it reboots the phone into a minimal Linux environment which then launches Android. It does not run on top of Windows.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pmos69:
It does not replace WM.

WM is on the Phone's flash. This is launched from the sdcard. (Using a specific program: Haret)

It "replaces" WM but only "in-memory". A reboot will always get you back to WM.

Nothing on this touches any WM data on the device.

Basically: You can put the required files on the sdcard, use haret to launch android, shutdown, boot your phone and you will be on WM exactly as it was before.

Don't want to use android any more? Simply delete the files you previously copied to the sdcard.
