[Touch Cruise Android Development] bbezja1:
in my oppinion its better to wait for other project to finish and tweak the finished thing than to tweak half finished and update the updates, fix the fixes.

i hope im understandable :S
[Touch Cruise Android Development] DesertsStorm:
I'm a noob to Android on Polaris so sorry if that had been resolved before. I've tried searching but found no reasonable answer for myself, although there are many people experiencing that:

mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /sdcard failed: Invalid argument

Failed

Failed to Mount SD Card

/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

Do I have to reformat/partition my 8GB MicroSD card somehow so linux could mount it properly (it's a single partition FAT32 currently)?

P.S. I have Polaris 100.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Kiiv:
The system doesn't start at all or is it only a log that you've seen at boot time but without more incidence ?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] DesertsStorm:
boot sequence just stops there. As far as I can tell (those tiny chars on 240x320 are really small an messy so I cant' follow verbose mode like on a PC) it doesn't even get to booting the image of Android.

Edit: tried Android build from another site - same problem with the difference that after boot is stuck it reacts to buttons and the wheel by saying what buttons i push. Anyone had that solved please?

Where can I get information on /conf/*.conf files options and their meaning?

Why are kernel and custom-distribution developers not updating wiki with links to their new creations?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] KeRmiT80:
definitively the last tattoo build is near perfect, camera gps wifi work, bt don't know as i never use it, neither in wm :)

only problem is the contacts, but i copied most of them in the simcard, next i will edit the file to make the import/export from sd...

when nand will be ready for polaris...ready to flash!

i have pcarvalho 28014, with all the stuff installed trying to have a nice ui...tattoo is definively better.

as winmobo is still running in background, which are the processes i must have running?

so i can add to default.txt the lines to kill the rest :D
[Touch Cruise Android Development] andbert:
I dont think WinMo is running in the background.

Haret boots directly from the SD-card :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] KeRmiT80:
dunno i found in a vogue thread a default.txt with many "kill *.exe" lines

maybe just to give haret more ram to boot?

so haret starts from windows but then windows shuts off while linux is booting?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Kirill31337:
Please, give a link to that Tattoo build where camera is working fine...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Kiiv:
Just the SenseTattoo 1.0 in Vogue forum. But I think it's because it's using CameraPro instead of the original app.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Kirill31337:
I thought the main reason that camera still not working is driver... no?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Kiiv:
I don't think so. Try installing CameraPro from the Market. It should work.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] KeRmiT80:
i did not installed nothing, camera pro is already in. and camera yes works :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] ZeGuido:
Hy, I wanted to give a try at the NewWay files to have a look at tatto. So I installed the 'andboot' folder on my SD card, put androidinstall.tar in 'andboot', changed the default.txt with the one I usually use (with ion).

I run Haret. Boot starts but stops with 'Failed to reach system.img on SD card.

Can you tell me what I missed ?

Thanks for help.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Kiiv:
New way doesn't work at this time with Polaris... We have to wait.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] ZeGuido:
Ok, thanks Kiiv. Is there a way to try tatto on a Polaris ? In fact, I just used the bundle. I always get confused when it comes to talk about the different files (initrd.gz zimage ...) I just don't get the purpose of each item.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Kiiv:
You could try this one. Follow the "FOR SDCARD" instructions.

Don't know exactly what the different files are for. zImage is the kernel if I don't mistaken.

But if you want to try, some guys seem to have a solution to launch the menu with the "new way" in the Vogue forum.

Solution for installing android on polaris (only)

Hello all.

i am giving below my experience for Polaris only.

i have tried android roms of Myn, who has actually designed ROMs for HTC Vogue and Kaiser, but some are supposed to work for Polaris also.

while doing experiments, and learning the ropes, i managed to totally screw up the ROM in my phone and finally had to boot and install through the SD card only. WELL, AM GLAD THIS HAPPENED AND I GOT TO LEARN.

my suggestions for Polaris users:

before switching to android, there is a thread for installing dual boot option. that way you to keep both wm and android on your phone.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=623792

after that, using wm file explorer, run haret on your sd card and install the android rom you want to use.

this way, your usb connection with PC also will stay.

i have still not checked all functions, but so far most seem to be working.

Regards

o2-lover

[Touch Cruise Android Development] Thorsten2605:
Hi,

I just installed the rom on my Orbit! But I can't input the Pin-Code... If I enter the Pin-Code of my sim Andorid tells me that's incorrect...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] ZeGuido:
You have to disable the pin check in WinMo or with another phone before. Android doesn't recognize the pin code whatever you try.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Mormy:
It's a long time when I tried Android last time and in the meanwhile many channges in the way to try it. I was using haret, now many of you are using nand.

Could tell me which is best and how to use it??

Thanks
[Touch Cruise Android Development] cruiserrr:
25

It is really like this with current versions? I have two phone numbers in my SIM. When I input the PIN of line 1, in the screen operator I see the line1 name and the same goes for my second line when I input the second PIN.

On the other side, if I use a kernel and a rom that do not fit together no PIN works and I can only do emergency calls.

I've no connection even without the WPA protection.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
People, for everyone that is having problems regarding Wi-Fi:

I had lots of problems connecting even with the last package, but I did something that worked. Please, try to do the following.

- In Windows Mobile, before running haret, go to the wi-fi screen where you see the available networks. Tap on the context menu and select Turn Off Wifi.

- Run haret and start Android.

- The wi-fi connection should start now.

Well, it happened to me that I used the Wifi Connection Sharing and it completely messed up my configuration so much that Wi-Fi was off, but the icon was "searching".

I hope it solves your problems.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] mylostnick:

I've version of 10/09/09. I've installed some applications ... What should I do to "upgrade" to the 12/09/09 version ?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
I always wanted to know why my 3G connection is going down from time to time. The worst part of it is that it won't re-connect automatically like Windows Mobile does, and I need to go again to the modem application, press disconnect (the connectivity icon disappears) and then, connect again.

Is there a way for it to re-connect without making me go to the modem app and waste time doing this?

It's really annoying :S!! (my mail doesn't get synced due to this)

On android it is possible to connect to android via adb (http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html) you can download it from http://vogue-android.googlecode.com/files/adb.zip.

That file has the drivers in it.

Note that Android Debug Bridge (adb) is a client-server program that will let you do things to and from android but:

-Is linux (when you open a shell on android)

-You run on windows through ms2

There isn´t an interface.

I think the software google made to sync can´t be used but not sure

[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
After playing around with Android for a few weeks I noticed the following issues:

3G connection has to be established through the "modem" application that doesn't reconnect when the connection goes down

If you connect the earphones to the miniUSB, the sound goes through them, but if you remove them, the sound doesn't come back to the speakers (doesn't switch back) until you restart playing (pause/unpause)

The microphone doesn't receive any sound, so it cannot record notes, nor can use applications like Shazam

The camera doesn't work: lots of apps use it and I really miss it

No FM radio application. This feature is really needed in Spain and a lot of countries. I suppose there aren't drivers for it

Missing Bluetooth drivers, too

I'm totally unable to change the input preferences, like word suggestions

Current key mapping makes on/off button go to the home screen instead of put the device in standby

MAJOR UPDATE

New rootfs.img has wifi drivers included so:

now polaris users can use any bundle including that file

btw is universal so I hope all the kaiser-vogue devs start to use it so won´t need to replace files!

So now on i´m going to prepare bundles ready made for polaris in two flavors

-Ion´s the one we have been using. (devs prefered)

-Roger´s a bit more fancy bundle

Major update on initial post, new post #4 with flavors

Other bundles wont be supported in this thread, at least yet reasons explained on #4

GPS Signal not stable ?

Hi

In all applications that are using GPS (GPS status, GPS Meter, CoPilot, ...) GPS signal is not stable at all (detected less than 1 second, then no more during 1 min). I've disabled the use of Wireless networks for localisation. Only GPS satelittes are used.

Any idea ?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] kulen:
yes you're right. I shouldn't badger people that do a lot of hard work with stupid questions.

but, I try to follow this android development every day as much as I can. It's mostly fast and lightly reading threads because I don't have too much time. and I need phone so I can't try it often. that's why I just start from start every now and then to see how is the development going.

but every time I want to try it, it seems that there are more new files. And more sites to download from. And I seem to miss what files I need and how to use it. And there are so many Ion, hero... packages so I get lost.

And I get a feeling that a lot of things are said on IRC that don't finish on threads.

I can only imagine how is it to somebody who would like to try android for the first time.

By the name of this thread I taught all this information (what and how to use) should be found here in simple and clear way.

so if somebody wants to answer me I'm tankful. And it might help somebody other also.

If not I understand. I'll find answer somewhere.

Thank you.

i follow most of this but this new thread is also one I managed to miss somehow. maybe it would be a good idea to have links to related threads in first posts. at least in kernel development post as it is the most important one.

I managed to get android running with bundle from post 56 in this thread.

I'm now just wondering how to use this new basefiles http://code.google.com/p/vogue-hero/downloads/list???

do I just copy this files to sd card and choose from some menu which build to use. or do I rename files I want to use and then copy it to sd card.

it would be nice if somebody could answer me. but I can just try it.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
But kernel thread is normally only for development :)

That's why we create news threads.

If you want a version working, you need to download a full package, you can run it like that just change mtype in default.txt by the polaris one.

After that if you want test you can download lastest files, rename it ,override existing files on SD and launch it.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] kulen:
That's ok. it's just an idea to have links to news threats on development thread. specially because it was pretty much the only thread about android on polaris for some time.

Kulen this thread is for newbies to android

In post #4 you can download a version prepared for polaris

You can download it and check file names that should be changed (as template)and learn how to do it for yourself :)

or just come here... this thread pretend to be an easy access to android.. just download and works AND inform about development progress

Right now there is a bundle with all at drop, but before you had to download from 3 different places in order wifi to work

It´s probably that the same will happen with bluetooth... on official sites won´t support beta stages of bluetooth development of polaris

BTW is great that devs have included the new rootfs!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] gigi-muschi:

Now WiFi work in Hero sense UI,but running very slow.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] kulen:
I'm glad there's thread like this.

I followed android and then I got lost just about somewhere with this file expansion. it's partially because of wifi files, different builds (ion, hero...) and probably some other development reasons (like this rootfs).

I managed to start android with no problem.

Now I want to try different builds found in this basefiles http://code.google.com/p/vogue-hero/downloads/list???

I believe I have to copy all to sd card and delete e.g. hero in hero.user.conf?

what differences should I see?

is there senseUI in some of them?

Thank you
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Kiiv:
To try an other build you just need to change the system.img file.

The others are common between builds.

If you change the system.img file, delete the data.img at the root of the SD. This file is created at the first boot. Maybe, there are other files but I don't remember there name. Compare with your original bundle to know which to delete.

Also, you may take an other complete bundle like "vogue-hero-data-image.zip". This is a hero build.

For hero build you could check here too.
