Hi and thank you for the work on Android.

But I have some problems:

1 - Unable to have the SFR network and internet use, etc..

2 - The camera does not work on my Cruise with the last elements download.

In addition I would like to know how to return to Windows without restarting the mobile phone.

Thank you.

----------------------------------------- Merci google.

Salut et merci pour le travail accompli sur Android.

Mais j'ai quelques problemes:

1- Impossible d'avoir le reseau SFR et de profiter internet, etc.

2- L'appareil photo ne fonctionne pas sur mon Cruise avec les derniers éléments télécharger.

De plus je voudrais savoir comment faire pour revenir a windows mobile sans redemarrer le téléphone.

Merci.

RAMSIZE set 0x08000000

set MTYP 1723

set KERNEL zImage

set cmdline "ppp.username = \ ppp.password = \"

boot

Thank you in advance for your help.

Can someone confirm/deny that gprs is working in Android without a data connection in Win - and if so - which files are needed?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] briggs81:
Hmm.. still can't get data connection going. Maybe I'll erase everything and start over.

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] excogitation:
that's totally expected

Have you set the correct MTYPE according to the kernel you use?

Did you put all files to the root of your SD-card?

SIM pin disabled in Win? Data connection active before booting to Android?

YES? why did you expect a working camera? We know it isn't working.

Not going to happen.

If you're trying to use an empty username & password - that's the way to do it:

set cmdline "ppp.username = \"\" ppp.password = \"\""

(only working with recent files)

I use 21/01/09 - Android Vogue Package android-21-01-09.zip from DZO and it just hangs on booting linux, though maybe I'm not suppose to use the whole package since it's for vogue.. ? Confusing..so many sources of information and files.

Tried the 01/02/09 - Android Polaris Package 01-02-09_polaris-package.zip but I can never get a network connection and always have to turn on data roaming, which makes Android say the process crashes etc.. actually now it just crashes and hangs on booting linux in haret.. never happened before.. fresh install and everything.

System loads up when I don't have my SIM card in it.. but hangs on booting linux when I put sim card in. sim card is only about 1 year old, should be no pin or anything on it. I had internet working at some point on this phone, but have since tried different isntallations/updates

Trying to understand 3rd party Android dev on xda-developers.com

Hi,

where can I read the development status for Polaris?

I don't understand well, could you explain me some obscure points:

1) I suppose that Android has to be taken as is from the Google repository

2) All that free developers have to do is to make the kernel for Polaris, Vogue, Kaizer, etc...). And it is a big job.

Is my analysis correct?

How I got gprs internet working

Some are saying that you need to use GPRS before starting HaRET. To make it work, I didn't need to use the internet just before starting HaRET. I do always have some connection because of (for example) weather plugin and mail starting the connection. With the latest version zImage (kernel) it started working for me:

04/02 new zImage Post #639 by Rogro82. Before this version, internet has never worked for me. It could be different for a different radio version though. My system.img is DZO's (from 01-02-09_polaris-package.zip). I tried it with the latest DZO system.img, but I didn't have working internet so I reverted. You may get different results, so let everyone know what works for you!

The battery runs out pretty quickly. I have to try different options (instead of pm.sleep_mode=1) to see what works best.

My default.txt has these 2 lines different:

MTYPE 1723

set cmdline "ppp.username=vodafone ppp.password=vodafone ppp.apn=live.vodafone.com pm.sleep_mode=1"

I had to remove all 'Access point names' under 'Mobile networks'. I recreated a single empty one. I only used the apn field (used the same as in the default.txt).

This now works with the Dutch Vodafone operator. Speeds seem to be ~ 3.6 mbit where coverage is good. I need to start togga and press connect. It has always worked the first time with rogro82's 04/02 kernel.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] psicobra@hotmail.com:
thanks for your help but i fixed most of the problems just a few outstanding but i doubt i can do anything about those
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] psicobra@hotmail.com:
ok so i though i would share how i got android working for people who have the same problem first when i replaced the zimage with the latest one i got the flashing screen problem mentioned on the first page and i followed the instructions and it cured i now problems. For those of you who missed it the solution is to edit the default.txt and amend it with this line Use "board-htcvogue.panel_type=3".

After that on boot i got this error msm_i2c msm_i2c.0: Error during data xfer (-5) and android hung after browsing this forum i found the answer here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3253880

witch tell me to edit the defult.txt again and change the MTYPE to 1723. then android booted perfectly and fast to.

Issues outstanding

i cannot import the contacts from the sim when i try it tells me there arent any contacts on my sim (any help)

secondly i can't find the keyboard soi can't type anything although the web browser is working great if only i could navigate

Hello all, i just upgraded to lastest zimage 4/2 (2nd) and system 09/02/09. while everything is working at least on my polaris it's a step backwards in terms of touch screen,

1. I try to open drop-down notifactions and the andriod pull-up menu opens,

2. Clicking on contact or maps makes to screen slide to search google widget screen.

3. using shortcuts within pull-up menu is buggy differnt items open or nothing happens at all.

all the issues seem to be relate back to a touch screen driver issue rather then a software issue.

(But i am not a programmer and I could be just talk out my bottom!)

other then that it is superfast and getting really good.

Sorry for my poor english.

ok,let´s try...

I am trying: 01/02/09 - Android Polaris Package

And 05/02/09 - zimage from rogro

And 04/02/09 - zimage from rogro

But I do not manage to be able to connect to Internet, nor to use wifi.

First I download 01/02/09 - Android Polaris Package

and then replace the file zimage, and then copy them in my Cruise (in memory card)... it is it correctly?

And another question ... applications for install on android??

For USB the computer does not also recognize me to the Cruise,

andi want yo know how i can explore the files in the Cruise.

thanks a lot
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] chab7:

Browser-Features and other things

Hi,

first of all: absolutly great job!! Thank you to all the developers!!

Here some thinks you could even more improve, from my point of view:

Browser:

The "+" an "-" buttons to enlarge/shrink the text are very big. I guess its the standard-size from the original G1 screen resolution, but on the HTC-Polaris it takes to much space. Browsing is difficult, because you tend to touch the buttons while scolling. Its only a small thing, but as a core application for me its important.

Google-Account:

Many of you may have concerns because data security, but on a long term view I would like to have (an optional!) google-account-support. Its easy then to access the calendar and contacts an most important of all: You can sync the data then. And one can use the built in android google-mail-client.

Four questions:

1) Battery-Icon

Since the last zImage I have a working battery-icon in the top right corner. Where can I change battery-connected settings in the user menu? E.g. is it possible to see how many MINUTES or PERCENT battery-capacity is left?

2) default.txt

Also connected with the battery-status: As far as I know I have several options (1-4) to set the sleep-modus in the default.txt. The desciptions of the modi a very cryptic. I have no idea what the differents are and how to set it in the default.txt.

I googled a lot in the forum, but I did not find how to set them.

By the way: Why isn't there a preconfigured default.txt to download? Does anyone have an link where I can read more about or an download-link?

3) The mail-program is very poor. Does anyone know a .apk to dowload, which is better?

4) Whats the general problem with the calendar? The google-account? Is there .apk for a local on-the-phone-calendar?

Once again: Great job!

Thank you,

Christian
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Evelyn_Cruise:
Dear Chab,

i use this options, but...

mtype in default.txt... is not 1723, so i change it for my Cruise ok?

(sorry for my very poor english, hope you can understand me)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] radem205:
Indeed you have to change the mtype yo 1723 (important !!)

yes, i changed to mtype, ok.

but, this last version of android.. mmm i have some problems in other other apps.

01/02/09andriod and 05/02 zimage works better in my cruise.

or i am very very fool and i don´t know config that :(

[Touch Cruise Android Development] Kiiv:
Good thing to open a clean thread to speak about testing :)

I'm currently testing the SquashFs version, latest on http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/downloads/list

With this system.sqsh : http://vogue-android.googlecode.com/files/hero.zip

And this base files : http://vogue-android.googlecode.com/files/squashfsbasefiles.zip

It's very stable. With this build I haven't got anymore the 'reload UI' problem when I go back to home screen.

But it's very slow. It takes more time to launch application, wake up the phone, open settings... But the scrolling is normally fast.

Wifi doesn't work for me with it.

Maybe I'll try this one tonight : system-090109r1.img on http://code.google.com/p/vogue-hero/downloads/list

I didn't understood how works the last one with 'userinit.sh' system, so I think I will not try it :p
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Mormy:
I've tried Neocore and won't start either with the 4share startup and with mine.

By the way, this the one I usually have:

set RAMSIZE 0x08000000
set MTYPE 1723
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
#
# The following kernel parameters are useful
# ppp.username - The username used to connect to the network when dialing
# ppp.password - The password used to connect to the network when dialing
# ppp.apn	- Set apn of your provider
# ppp.nostart	- Set ppp.nostart=1 to disable starting the ppp connection on boot
# msm_sdcc.msmsdcc_fmax - The maximum frequency (in Hz) used by the SD controller
# pm.sleep_mode - The mode used when the phone is off
# 0=Power Collapse Suspend, 1=Power Collapse, 2=Apps Sleep,
# 3=Slow Clock and Wait for Interrupt 4=Wait for Interrupt
# Default is 1, use 1 for best power savings
# board-htcpolaris.panel_type - Panel type used to power the panel off and on
# 0=Don't power off the panel (Default)
# 1=Sony 2=Topoly 3=Topoly (probably just the same as 2)
# lcd.density - Defaults to 160, 128 shows more on screen
#
set cmdline "board-htcpolaris.panel_type=3 ppp.apn=tre.it ppp.username=none ppp.password=none pm.sleep_mode=1 mddi.width=324 mddi.height=432 no_console_suspend board-htcpolaris-battery.battery_capacity=1350 clock-7x00.mddi=0xa51 mddi_client_vogue.vsync=0"
boot
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Kiiv:
Try with '1' instead of '3' for "board-htcpolaris.panel_type" property.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bally3:
if you mean neocore then yes that is broken in this kernel.

if you are having display issues, then try changing the panel type or try to be more specific on what you mean by "graphics dont work properly".
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Averne:
Ok, this is my default.txt file:

set RAMSIZE 0x08000000
set MTYPE 1723
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "board-htcpolaris.panel_type=0 ppp.apn=orange ppp.username=orange ppp.password=orange pm.sleep_mode=1 mddi.width=336 mddi.height=448 lcd.density=160 no_console_suspend board-htcpolaris-battery.battery_capacity=1350 mddi_client_vogue.vsync=0"
boot

With this settings display works fine, but you must disconnect usb cable before press [Run] button in haret.

Does somebody know what are the benefits of using 'squash FS' system instead of old standard system.img?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
if you are really interested: (from http://groups.google.com/group/andr...ad/e4ce4f06f982d51b/30fa2b5deb6533b2?lnk=raot)

I think it would be a good idea to compress /system/bin and /system/

lib at least with squashfs, I have done this on a couple ubuntu and

gentoo systems and it actually increased performance and space

significantly!

Reasons (short version): decompressing data is faster than reading it

from the hard drive, in most current computers, especially when you

have multiple programs reading from the disk, causing thrashing, and/

or when the data on the disk is fragmented. You can read more details

about what was done and the results on http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-4732709.html#4732709

Squashfs is intended for general read-only file system use and in

constrained block device/memory system, it can also be combined with a

union mount system like unionfs and aufs for read/write access.

We will be able to improve android boot time, app launch time, and

increase space, what more could we ask for? Maybe a little bit more

ram? Whats up with compcache too?

So now we just need to compile squashfs-tools for android and

experiment, im pretty damn excited to try this!

Also ubifs has lzo compression, not sure how that would work either,

it seems ubifs is favored over jffs2 and yaffs2

Well right now it looks squashfs+lzma wont be in the kernel until

2.6.30 found this via:

http://www.squashfs-lzma.org/

So I think we are left with UbiFS with lza compression but I have no

idea on how to add it to the kernel, and test this out, im really

interested in seeing some results and doing some benchmarks, if

someone more knowledgeable than me can help out that would be awesome

defcon

found a nice pdf comparing the filesystems:

Benchmarks Of Yaffs2, JFFS2, SquashFS, & UBIFS:

http://free-electrons.com/pub/conferences/2008/elce/flash-filesystems...

[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:

[Touch Cruise Android Development] whitealien:
Thanks iseeka for detailed interesting explication.

Based on iseeka explications I would says that phone processors are not enough performent to decompress fast large volumes of data. That would explain very slow performance of latest Hero squash FS build.
