Yes you can (Is always recommend a fresh install though )

new files are rootfs.img and zimage

You can either take them frm my zip

or download them (I don't have the link now since I'm on android )

I'm sure someone will post it for you

Not always will work just replacing files. Sometimes deleting data file is needed

the
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Yes!:
Thanks, will take the files out of the zip.

Another question to get things clear: :confused:

In post #4, 2 flavours are mentioned.

Is this new zip a 3rd flavour, or just an update of one of both flavours, and if so for which one?

Regards.

There are many android version ported from different android phones: tattoo,hero...

Most of them are ported very fast with missing things etc.. (and some are from more powerfull devices so have different adapted versions) so developers use ION version as is the most stable and is used as reference version.

I make the standar version with ion as is the more stable and first posts are intended for newcomers and later ppl can learn and try different versions, etc

BUT developers only work yet with Ion, so you can´t expect the same support with other versions.

now i've tried a different system.img and adb works.

- enable settings->applications->debugging

- install in XP the driver (right click in hardware manager and install driver manually)

- replug your mobile

- in XP start (in a terminal) the command "adb shell" (for other option type only "adb")

- it seems that from here you can work with linux commands (ls -l, dmesg, ...)

but, what i want is to mount my mobile in XP like an USB dongle. the app "usb mount" does not work for me.

after that i will try to install the hero software and syncronize my phone with outlook (calendar and contacts).

Does any of you has more success with the connection to XP (or outlook)?

is that topic an kernel issue?

cheers

I had luck connecting to Windows 7.

What I did was starting up Android while my Polaris was connected to ActiveSync (in WM). I launched Android, and my computer detected the device, so I was able to debug with Eclipse :) And it worked like a charm.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] aitsch:
did you get in android an usb-symbol in the tasklist on top?

which system.img are you using?

[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
Now, I didn't. I just got the sound that indicates that a new hardware has been connected. Later, I went to debug my application in Eclipse and it shown a device called "?" that was my Polaris :)

Try to start yours while it's "activesynced"!

Many thanks to all of you developers and other genius minds who have made it possible to use hero on polaris !!!

I have installed the kaiser-hero-100909 package with DZO's latest rootfs & zimage (15-10-09). it is working, it is little slow and till now haven't faced battery problem or over heating as many have noticed. but my wifi is not working and there is no way to start the camera or maybe the application for camera is missing.

No data connection

Hi Guys,

since a long time I just have tested the huge improvements of the last weeks.

I use latest zImage (git), rootfs-16-10-09.img, initrd.gz from 2009-09-02 and system-xrom1.5r4c.sqsh.

Unfortunately I cannot setup a data connection.

Do I have the right combination of files?

adb works, so I can debug a bit.

setupmodem.sh is in background. modem-app only says "Turning data on", respectively "off".

When I call toggle.sh in adb shell, then "modem_log: not found".

I wonder about this error, because modem_log is a function defined in setupmodem.sh

But maybe this is not the main error.

radio rom is 1.59.42.15

Thanks for help.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] szsoftware:
Fixed

Okay,

interesting finding:

In winMo I disabled umts. I only used gsm with gprs.

I just did the settings to "auto" and data connection works in Android.

But I don't need umts. Is my experience a bug?

Btw.: i fixed the toggle.sh bug (modem_log: not found) this way:

- mount the rootfs.img on the host computer as root with

"mount -o loop rootfs.img /mnt/img"

- open /mnt/img/toggle.sh in editor as root

- add this after the shebang:

modem_log()

{

/bin/echo -e "${@}" >> /smodem/ppp.log

}

- close toggle.sh

- umount /mnt/img

- transfer edited rootfs.img to your sdcard

Android Market, only free apps?

I'm using the latest files from the google code site. Most everything is working now, including phone, 3G, WiFi, Camera and GPS. But in Android Market I can only see free apps. I've downloaded RoadSync trial that allows me to sync with the exchange account at work.

[Touch Cruise Android Development] pananza:
Android sets hardware clock to UTC and shows time by adding UTC offset before displaying on screen.

WM sets hardware click to localtime and does not care about UTC offset.

Not much you can do. If you don't sync with exchange calendard or google calendar you can set your timezone in android to UTC, that way the time will be correct (time zone is not, but that does not matter much unless you sync calendar items).

I noticed that if you use Android in a daily basis, the system goes slow as hell after an hour or so. Every application I open is not closed, and it seems that Android is having troubles to manage the memory. I had to install a Task Manager to close the applications when I notice the slow response.

Is there a way to improve the memory management/buffer/swap? I know there's a configuration file that sets specific parameters for each Android flavor (rogers, hero, cyanogen, ion...)

It's a .conf file into the conf folder. Any word on this?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] w04g005:
I have almost the same issues! in the showcase (don't know exactly haow it is called) i only have wapedia and one other program. I searched for a few programs i had installed on a former ROM. But i couldn't find them! I also couldn't find shopsavvy or barcode scanner. These are FREEWARE programs. Maybe it has to do with the location info of our phones. I will test this with an multilingual ROM. There is definately a difference. When i had a english ION running i searched for a program called "timetable ..." and i installed it. I changed to a multilingual Hero img, set the language to german and searched also for timetable but i couldn't find it. I had to search for FAHRPLAN (which is the german word for it) to find it. So i assume that it makes a difference how you log in.

EDIT: I found something maybe it's helpful

Working Tatoo build with QVGA resolution

Here is what you need to do to have working Tatoo build on Polaris.

Before you start there are few things to remember.

this build is very slow. You will need to wait 5-10 sec each time when swithcing between applications.

android builds data.img is not compatible with hero builds data.img. You will need to remove it.

it does not have modem installed, so you will need to edit default.txt (see below) to have 2G connection.

To install Tatoo build use these files:

initrid.gz and conf folder from basefiles-20091009.zip

zImage-15-10-09

rootfs-15-10-09v3.img

system-tattoo-zen-102009.sqsh

edit default.txt file. Add/change lcd.density=160 to 120. Change ppp.nostart=1 to 0. Change resolution to 240x320.

remove data.img if you used android build before

Enjoy your new Tatoo phone, just veeerrrrryyyyy ssssllllloooowww ..... :D

Don't understand why... I never had problem with cupcake.

After setting my APN information I can see the data icon with little arrows, seemed to try to connect, and the icon disappears and reappears regularly.

I know I have problem with my 3G connection under winmo (seems to be a motherboard problem, I lost service when I activate 3G, always is fine with only GSM mode), maybe it's that but I'm surprised that there is no problem with cupcake... I've tried to activate "Use only 2G networks" but the option don't seems to stay checked...

Other strange thing, the phone seems to lost service when it is in sleep mode... When I wake it up there is no service, and after few seconds the service come back.

:(

New Donut version released~

Just found this:

system-htc-donut.sqsh

Donut from the Google Ion with calls/audio/data/camera. Vogue/Kaiser. HTC Themed launcher. Custom number of home screens. Maps from Eclair. Use with the rootfs and zImage from vogue-android.

i'm downloading and will try later.....
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
I've tried it. These are the specs of the testing device:

Device: POLA100, panel type = 1

Base system: Windows Mobile 6.1.

Radio: 1.59.46.12

Base files: http://vogue-android.googlecode.com/files/basefiles-20091009.zip

RootFS: http://vogue-android.googlecode.com/files/rootfs-23-10-09.img

Kernel: http://vogue-android.googlecode.com/files/zImage-23-10-09 (I've just seen that there's a newest kernel published 6 hours ago).

System: Donut from Vogue-> http://vogue-hero.googlecode.com/files/system-htc-donut.sqsh.

* SD Card has a /conf/ folder into it.

default.txt:

set RAMSIZE 0x08000000

The results are:

Sluggish system. Sometimes it doesn't respond for minutes.

Wifi works OK

Camera works OK

3G-> Cannot set up any connection. Modem app fails to connect, and then it retries. The 3G icon shows on top, and the arrow flashes from time to time, but when the modem app says "Connection attempt FAILED, it disappears and reappears again.

USB connection: it detects it sucessfull, in both PC and device.

Telephony: calling not tested.

SMS not tested.

Audio input: Shazam only listens the first time. Then it won't work. (FIXED with the new kernel 24-11-09 just released.)

To note:

I reformatted the SD card

Deleted the user data .img

I configured the APN like in 1.5. No luck with modem connection.

But maybe I'm just blind :-(
