Have you tried with this Donut build? http://vogue-android.googlecode.com/files/system-tmo-ota-drc92.sqsh

I have the latest files (kernel and basefiles) and the data connection isn't starting.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Yes!:
I wanted to test that one yesterday. Unfortunately i couldn't get my Polaris connected to my PC (Win7) from WMo anymore (Mobile Center doesn't start). Moreover i lost my microSD adapter, so i can't transfer the file to my SDCard right now. :(

I'll try system-tmo-ota-drc92.sqsh tomorrow and post my findings then.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] idreadful:
Have you tried uncheck something like "Extended network features" in "Settings -> Connections tab -> USB to PC"?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Kiiv:
I've just try with exactly the same files and it doesn't work for me!

Have you got a POLA100 or POLA200 device?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Yes!:
I have a POLA100.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Yes!:
Thanks! It started working again.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Yes!:
The phone freezes after booting with with http://vogue-android.googlecode.com/files/system-tmo-ota-drc92.sqsh

The screen turns black after showing the "ANDROID" splash for some time.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
Try to delete the files and re-copy them. I had some problems when I booted up, even with the Cupcake build. The logo took really long time, and hanged. I copied the files again and it worked. Be sure to delete the user.img if it exist.

Regards.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bbezja1:
i only renamed data.img and it went through booting very fast. you should do that also.

woohoo *tearsOFjoy* android can read SIM card contacts now on new kernel.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Yes!:
After deleting the data.img file the process completed succesfully, although it takes a long time.

(+):)

- Data connection works without problems.

- Wifi Also works without problems.

- Dutch (and other) language available

(-):(

- The system is somewhat sluggish

- :confused: (Contents of) Marketplace application is different than before. I can't find some of the applications i had before (i.e. Layar, Sipdroid etc.)

Hi guys..can someone tell me wich is the best version of android at the moment?...it would be great if comeone could also post links to system file, basefile and image too..I've tried to do this on my own but I think I'm not good enough because I've had lot of issues that I've never had with previous versions so the problem must be me
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
Donut + Polaris + Data Connection (3G) ??? How did you achieve that!? Did you configure you APN from the default.txt or into Android/Settings?

Thanks!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Yes!:
Both.

I'm using a default.txt with APN specified, but on top of that i always create an APN in Android/Settings.

I had to manually restart the modem once (from Android/Settings) after creating the APN in some occasions.

I went back to 1.5 at the moment because of the MarketPlace differences, but for me both Donut versions that i've tested provide a working data connection.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
Wow. This is a surprise. Can you write down here your default.txt?

By the way, I'm ROAMING. Although I checked the setting to enable roaming for data connections, could it affect to the connection ifself?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Yes!:
I always have the ROAMING setting enabled.

[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
Thank you :) but, unfortunately, I've tried with your exact default.txt and it doesn't work for me. This is really a mystery!

With roaming, I mean that I must check the roaming option since my data provider needs it. Cupcake didn't warn me about "roaming", but Donut did it, so I thought it could manage this setting differently.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Yes!:
Okay i see.... you are actually (or virtually) roaming while i only have the option enabled to allow roaming, although i'm not actually at the moment.

What i noticed is that the data connection icon was not on when starting android the first time, but it first showed up the moment i've added the apn in Android/Settings.

I'm sorry it does not work for you. :confused:

I would like to control the repository MarketPlace is looking at.

Can anybody shed some light at where to configure the MarketPlace database?

cannot find applications in market

Hello All,

after too many re-installations of android and using the market, now finally I have some working android on my polaris but when I log in with my google acount I cannot find the applications I previously installed...

they vanished I mean from android market itself, but when I used a new a/c I could see all the applications.

why is this happening, is there any restriction on android market ? how do I get back to my earlier google acount and get all the applications and contacts.

I have more than 250 contacts in my primary google account and I wnt to use google market with the same.

please help
[Touch Cruise Android Development] w04g005:
i had actually the same problem. After trying out a donut build many apps (free and paid) disappeared from market. Also in ION builds. After creating a new account (IN ION) i could see all apps!

I posted this problem earlier in this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4782449&postcount=281)

I think it has to do with the new market in donut builds. I heard in another thread (i think it was a hero or galaxy thread) that also for them the apps disappeared after using donut. Maybe it gets repaired by google or we have to wait until eclaire (there you can use different accounts for Contacts/E-mail/Market if i understood it right!).

greetings
[Touch Cruise Android Development] scripttec:
I know it's a bit OT... but anyway :p

has someone already successful tried Android 2.0 on our loved Polaris?

got the system.img from the SDK, but it didn't worked on my first attempt (just changed the image) :cool:

any hints?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
Android 2.0 hasn't been release yet just the sdk with little preview of new functionnality.

2.0 hasn't been port to android device yet (some port but very beta-alpha) so must wait, if Polaris have enough power to run it.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
Same issue here. When I'm on Donut, lots of applications are not shown. Shazam, Facebook, and ShopSavvy, for instance. Do anyone know what's happening with the Market?

Thanks!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] RgR:
Very strange, I use the exact same files as you listed, and I even have the same networkprovider and hardware like you (KPN and POLA100). Still no matter what I try, I can't get a working data connection in Donut. I have no problems when I use a Cupcake image.

Could you tell me what WM-ROM you have? Maybe that makes the difference... I am using an original HTC 6.1 WWE rom.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Yes!:
Very strange indeed. I can't think of a direct relation between the data connection in Android and the WinMo ROM version.

Are you getting errors when trying to connect?

My ROM version:

pcarvalho eXtreme ROM 3.19 WM6.5 OS 23081 WWE R0

Radio: 1.59.42.15

B.t.w. I always boot Android with Phone connection=on / WiFi=off

[Touch Cruise Android Development] RgR:
Thanks for your reply. I flashed the radio you are using, but still no data connection in Donut. After I enter the APN-settins, the 3g data icon becomes visible, but only the "up-arrow" lights up. If I start the modem-app it says "starting pppd", and then after a minute or so it sais "FAILED!" and tries again.

I'm affraid I have to go back to the cupcake-build...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
This is the EXACT behavior that I'm experiencing. No matter what I do, it just enters a loop in which it appears to negotiate a connection, but it fails.

I have also noticed that my device doesn't enter the power collapse when I press the End Button. It's awaken every time a button is pressed, and even if the jog dial is slightly touched. This makes it impossible for it to save battery.

@RgR, are you having this issue, too?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] RgR:
I also noticed this behaviour some of the times when I press the end-button. Most times I also have to press the power-button multiple times before the device wakes up again.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
@whitealien yeah Motoroal Droid will be the first device with Android 2.0, hope we can have a dump soon and start working on it.

HTC plans to release an HTC Hero Android 2.0 update version but n othing for G1 :s.

But XDA will make it for sure.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] whitealien:
My eyes are already on new HTC Hero. Last week they dropped price by 90EUR. Now its sold for 410EUR instead of 500. The only reason why I dont have it yet its, coz in France its available in brown, grey and pink (lol) colors.

I've got this version of android running on my pola100. I've no expertise in this but I've learnt a small bit (loads more to learn) from all the devs on xda and got it working. Thanks iseeka, newbie16, bally3, DJ_Steve, dzo, and imfloflo for this android version.

I would just like to report that I cannot connect to android market (and now any page) on a wifi connection but can over 3g. Don't know if this is specific to me or others may have this difficulty. I have read through this whole thread but may have missed something.

I've installed and uninstalled a few apps from the market over 3g. I did access google.com and even the htc.com/europe homepage over wifi but now will not load. Using radio rom 1.59.46...

Thanks for this easy way to install android.

Hello all

I have latest donut with latest zimage and rootfs. everything working but there is problem with wifi.

I have wifi at home on linksys wag200G wifi /dsl router. and at office I start virtual wifi on my laptop and connect through the office network. So wifi @ 2 places!!!!

at office when I connect my android it works I get connected and also data passes through. but at home if I connect wifi to my dsl router, I can connect but there is no data passing through. I even tried connecting my laptop to the home network (ethernet) and then starting virtual wifi to connect android, still I can only connect but cannot access.

this is really strange has anyone tested with linksys wifi or specifically with wag200G wifi router ?

please let me know this is the only reason stopping me from using android as I mostly access from home.

polaris or kaiser

POLA100 is 400Mhz PPC android is quite slow!

I found a kaiser (tytn II) with 528mhz cpu (MSM7201A) which I thought of buying (its an old one and I wanted to exchange with my polaris)

please let me know if it is a wise idea. shall I keep my polaris or get the kaiser which is faster. the only thing not present with kaiser is FM radio and I guess android doesn't recognize the tilt when the keyboard is drawn out !

comments and suggestions are welcomed!

Problem to sign in

With the last vogue-android bundle (16/11), I successfully connect to my wireless router, but Internet is really slow or doesn't work at all. The browser takes a lot of time to load google.com or doesn't load at all.

And everytime I try to sign in with my google account, it doesn't work.

I tried also to use my 3G access, but I'm not sure it's activated, I modified my default.txt with these settings:

ppp.nostart=0 ppp.apn=internetg ppp.username=guest ppp.password=guest

according to this page for my Israeli operator CellCom:

http://www.flexispy.com/Mobile APN Setting to use GPRS.htm

Do I need to change settings in Android itself to make HSDPA work ?

Thanks for any advice
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bbezja1:
in past i've noticed that even slightest understanding of an issue at hand, makes it easier for me to figure out what to do. maybe this will help us and stop us from asking (silly) questions.

So Michel82 talked about filysystems:

"We've always been working with image files as emulated filesystems (the sqsh or img files). Real filesystems or partitions do obviously perform better. Therefore mssmisson created a solution where it's possible to use real ext2 partitions from your sd card. This solution has now been integrated in the latest rootfs by vilord. Simply replacing the old rootfs.img with the new one with fexed data didn't work for me this morning because it expects you have two ext2 partitions. I am about to create these two partitions for myseld, but am still wondering what would be the best way to do this from windows." (<- vilord suggested to use GPARTED but fixed the problem later, so we dont need to make partitions on our SD cards)

Next thing i would like to get clear with is what is lcd density? why does it differ with every system?

Also i am curently using this image http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=582810 as suggested by Michel82. Set you resolution to 320x240 and lcd.density to 120. Everything works well on my phone (except BT that doesnt work at all). battery lasted day and a half with 3G ON nonstop, so i think its great.

please share your thoughts.

Hi Iseeka,Great idea for a thread. Theres been many times i've wanted to ask questions but felt it unapropriate to post them on the kernel thread, now we have a proper outlet...Thankyou!

Now for the questions lol first of ...I think this was asked earlier but not answered..What do we do with sqsh files? Do we use them just as we do with system.img files and just copy them to the root of the sd card or do we need to extract them somehow? Also....In android my battery is lasting no way near as much as it would in winmo in almost every build i've tried even with the recommended battery settings in the default.txt does anyone have solution for this? Thanks guys!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] vestlink:
Hi. thnx for your reply.

Yes i have tried to disable the PIN in winmo before starting android, but it is as if winmo won't register the pinkode that I enter when trying to disable it.

Nic
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Kiiv:
Humm, I think I don't understand.

When you have disabled the PIN code, if you reboot your device under winmo, it ask you for your PIN???

If it is really disabled, you don't have to enter it at all. So I don't understand why you say "winmo won't register the pinkode that I enter".

It doesn't have to register because you just don't have to enter one :/

(I think I need to improve my english, it could help :D)

guess must be something with the sim not accepting to be started without PIN???
