ok. I understand that.

but this is new package with explanation:

Basefiles: Support for Hero/Ion/Rogers/Cyanogen/xRom builds. Support for Vogue/Kaiser/Polaris. Auto wifi on Kaiser/Polaris. New renicer. Zenulator lowmemkiller tunning. Bugfixes

files included are shown in attached image.

and it's found here http://code.google.com/p/vogue-hero/downloads/list???

so I wonder how to use it and what are the differences?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
I´ve downloaded it and i think are the same basefiles of ion´s with the new rootfs newbie16 did

That´s why i haven´t updated with those basefiles... i think the bundles are up to date
[Touch Cruise Android Development] kulen:
And one completely newbie question:

what are rootfs files?

I could probably find it myself but if somebody is willing to explain I'm tankful

and what means Support for Hero/Ion/Rogers/Cyanogen/xRom builds ?

Thank you
[Touch Cruise Android Development] zoko:
finally i managed to get Android work, my device is the older polaris (pola1000), and run only if i have 0 ou 3 on the default.txt, i´ve installed on a SDHC 4GB, then i passed all files to 1GB and works, tks for the help
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
I think you should use 3 then. .I´ve read somewhere that 0 is worse managing battery
[Touch Cruise Android Development] aitsch:
nice threat!!!

interesting for me is:

- how to connect android phone with WindowsXP and Linux (only for transfer data)

- how to do an offline sync with ms-outlook (without sync with google-account)

cheers

[Touch Cruise Android Development] Michel82:
Small question. Why does every build show that headset icon in the notification bar? I'm not using a headset. And second does anyone how to get rid of it? It annoys me.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
@aitsch:

-connect via adb

-maybe using htc sync can sync outlook without exchange mode or google

@Michel82:

- I haven't ths headset icon in notification bar, if you click sur clear notification does it stay?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] mylostnick:
Hi. I have this icon too.

With every build I've tried, even with hero with sense ui builds.

I've not asked before because i've alwais thinked it was a common issue but now i'd like to know if it's a solvable problem.

@ imfloflo: yew, it remains there even if if clink on "clear notification".
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bedelaitre:
I've made some tests. Here are the results for me ...

USB connection doesn't work ... sometimes my phone is seen as an android phone, then I can install drivers. Sometimes adb does detect my device but not for a long time

GPS doesn't work very well... Signal is not stable at all, so it's quite impossible to use any application with GPS functions

WIFI works very well

I'm using radio 1.59.44.02 on a polaris 100 with Kostas244 Rom 23016 M2dv2+Titanium_FINAL_updated
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bbezja1:
how do i start data connections? i have dafult.txt filled with ppp.* info and set to autostart on boot but i cant browse. there was some talk about app named togga? cant find it..

is there any way to shut down polaroid (not the phone, just to return to winmo) or do we always have to softreset?

thanks for this thread, number of testers and feedbackers will grow exponentially now :p
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bedelaitre:
Find "modem" application and connect when needed ;;; Never find how to autoconnect ...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bbezja1:
now i commented out the ppp. stuff in default.txt and set autoconnect to off but when i use Modem app it doesnt ask for any info or anything, it just say connected.

i called my mobile provider to check if my ppp. info was correct in default.txt and it was. but it still doesnt work.

so i tried both ways to connect and nothing works. what could be wrong? calling works btw
[Touch Cruise Android Development] aitsch:
check your default.txt. have you set the ppp.nostart parametrer to zero (ppp.nostart=0)??

maybe thats the point.

aitsch

Hi!

There's a new version of Android for Vogue (1.6 - Donut). I tried it and it works for Polaris, but without wifi. Is there any way to get it working?

I hope somebody comes with a bundle today!

Thanks a lot.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Kiiv:
Have you tried with the latest basefiles-20090915.zip ?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
Yes I did, but is says "unable to start wi-fi" :(
[Touch Cruise Android Development] mylostnick:
Hi. I'm trying to start latest cyanogen from here:

http://code.google.com/p/vogue-hero/downloads/list

but with latest basefiles of 15/09 i get a continuous

[xxx.xxxxxxx] android_power: wakeup (0>0) at [here it is a number] (and here the timestamp)

this message is repeated every 5 seconds.

It's still there from about 10 minutes. Going to soft-reset.

Someone knows about this issue? (a google search give no more information and old messages without response)

TY. Bye-
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Skywalker74:
Data connection does not work for me in new 1.6. "Starting pppd ... " is the all I get.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] reiteravi:
http://vogue-hero.googlecode.com/files/system-mini.sqsh

slow (sense ui) wifi oobe
[Touch Cruise Android Development] mylostnick:
Just tried.

At first boot it goes with continuous reboot.

At second boot same error as my previous post.

can't understand what's the matter.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] reiteravi:
did u use basefiles from that thread ?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] merkman:
I enjoy playing with the build of Android at the top, and was really glad when I figured out how to get the data connection working. But I do miss all the widgets that I had in the hero builds. Maybe that's something I can upgrade at the marketplace, but I must admit I didn't think to look there until just now.

Oh, and I can see all my music in this build, something I couldn't do with the old Hero one, but when I go to view pictures it shows about 3600, starts loading until it gets to 3200 or so, seems to reset, then starts counting from 3600 again in an endless loop. Dunno what that's about, but it makes it tough to select wallpaper, etc.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] syto203:
its wwe, pcarvalho 23017 rom
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
@syto203 : I have 23016 with +3D and all working fine
[Touch Cruise Android Development] mylostnick:
yes.

Now i've seen new basefile of today (20090919).

I'will retry!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] DJ_Steve:
Someone link me to this vogue donut rom and ill see if I can persuade wifi to work :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
You can find it here. Good luck!

[Touch Cruise Android Development] Leryan:
wifi is working with basefiles-20090919-v2.zip (from http://code.google.com/p/vogue-hero/) and rogers.zip (http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/).

I have used rootfs from basefile bundle.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] syto203:
im using 4gb sd card maybe thats the problem il try using another like a 1gb or even 256mb (yeah i still own one)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
I tried it and it worked for me, but is it Donut (1.6)?? I went to the Market and everything is the same as before, and under "Firmware" it says "1.5".

Edit: I have seen right now that "rogers" it's a Cupcake build :( No way to put 1.6 with wi-fi?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] magpie45:
Storage Card problem?

Place the following files on the root of your Storage Card (not in a subfolder)

PROBABLY THIS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
What files? Have you attached them?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Leryan:
system.img contains wifi driver?!?!

It's not in the base files?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] defroster:
i am confuse.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Leryan:
as i understood from development thread, wlan.ko should be changed in system image. Bally3 wrote an instruction (on page 256) in development thread. I've tried, but got an error - some Linux error.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] mylostnick:
AFAIK there is no more problem with wifi on Polaris using latest basefiles u can find at this link.

The best way to understand something of what happen with Android is just try.

U can download these basefiles and try them with different sistem.img or system.sqsh files u can find at the same address (or other similar). Be careful: everytime u try a new system file u've to delete/rename the relative "data.img" file, containing all ur configurations.

Actually, I.E., i do the following:

- keep the basefiles on the SD card;

- different folders with system.img/system.sqsh file with relative data.img

- actual system.img/system.sqsh file with relative data.img in the SD root

In this way I've tried a lot of systemfiles, keeping in subfolders only that I like or are functional. Cheers
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Kirill31337:
I like Android, but it working not so fast... i mean hero build... and i understand that the main reason of this is file system on sd card... i would like to know if developers working in this way, to make Android as main OS in main memory of device, like first booting OS... thnx in advance... :)

sorry for my english
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bbezja1:
Kirill they will make this work on SD first and then switch to base OS, i guess its easier. hero builds are made for hero and iwthout fixing, it can not work on a totaly diferent phone. it doesnt have much to do with OS being on SD card.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Kiiv:
Hero builds work pretty well. The major issue is the speed...

For me, hero builds works as well as other, maybe better (I can turn off my phone normally :p). I've got data connection, wifi etc.

Why do you say "it can not work on a totaly different phone"? The challenge is the same as other build I think. It is just a little bit heavier, and running it from the main memory instead of SD card could improve the main problem : speed and reactivity.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] kulen:
I downloaded basefiles (basefiles-20090919-v2.zip) and micro hero system (system-micro-hero.sqsh ) from this link:

http://code.google.com/p/vogue-hero/downloads/list???

and started completely fresh android with it. I only used my old default.txt

and it's slow but it works. it's first time I have working SenseUI :).

Only thing that doesn't work is WiFi

I turn on wifi and it says it's on. but it can't find network. network is there and it works. AP is on the same table as polaris nad laptop which is connected to it.

Any ideas how to make it work?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
Maybe your wifi channel is over 11 so you have to change the wifi advance settings
[Touch Cruise Android Development] BorisDeviant:
Hello all

Trying out the latest Ion build on my Polaris 100.

Working fine : SMS (sending / receiving), calls (incoming / outgoing), data connection (sl2sfr, just have to use the modem but not a real issue), WiFi...

Fast, stable so far.

Not working : GPS, SFR TV

Is there any plan to get Android in a different language than English (let’s say… French for example ;)) ?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
@DarkAdrien : For SFR TV i think you can make it working by changing the user-agent chaine. You should read the android.smartphonefrance.info topic about this maybe more helpfull

you already can have Android in French just go to menu/settings/Local& text /select Locale and choose Fraçais france :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] kulen:
it's 1. channel

And it worked with some older android build that I had.

But why can't it be over 11?

i went to advanced wifi settings and I imported manually SSID and key.

it says it's remembered but not available
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bbezja1:
which hero build works even close as well as this polandroid were using in this thread? i want it EDIT: you mean android base build or android pulled out of hero?

OS is unloaded into local memory when you run in haret, so mainly important parts are not read from SD anymore (as far as i understand linux). please correct me if im wrong (someone who knows something)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] kulen:
in my post just a few posts before is a link to what I downloaded and copied to clean SD card. It's android with SenseUI. working but slow.

but, I can't make wifi work with it. maybe I need some other files also?

about SD card, I believe you're right. Maybe we should try tu run android and take out SD card to see if it still works :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] BorisDeviant:
Thanks for your answer.

But I do not have the choice in this submenu : English only... Which package should I install to have the choice ?

Thanks for your support :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
@DarkAdrien :o ok maybe this build doesn't have all language. try another previous one.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] kulen:
package I mentioned a few posts before ask you what language you want when you boot first time. and it really has a lot languages.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
Hero package have more than 40 languages in it :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] kulen:
Stupid me!!!

I changed to 13 channel system and it works now. It's different regulatory so it doesn't mean in first case it has first 11 channels. It could be any 11 channels or maybe even channels on completely different frequencies but in same band. I could check it but it works now so no need.

sorry for unnecessary posts. maybe it could help somebody with same problem.

Thanks for help
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Kiiv:
Currently, I'm using micro-hero by zenulator with latest basefiles (basefiles-20090919-v2).

I'm following this thread for updates.

I have not tried yet the nano-hero, but it's seemed to be a little bit more speedy.

I think it's some android pulled out of hero, not android based. But I'm not sure.

And zenulator is working on a tattoo version, probably released "soon" ^^

Ho, ok :)

So booting from a full android ROM will not change anything in speed :/

So my hopes are only with tattoo ROM...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bbezja1:
i used basefiles 19.9.2009 v2 and micro hero but i cant get past the HTC logo. no luck for me :s and i hoped i will save me some 400 eur :D

how do i stop programs in android? i hate the back-only button
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Kirill31337:
i have the same question)))))
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Kiiv:
bbezja1 : Have you wait enough? Sometimes it's very long.

You can search for some task managers on the market.

It's the only way I've found to kill programs... :/
[Touch Cruise Android Development] kulen:
you could find task manager but you don't need to. that's one of android advantages.

it's explained here

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL6g...1AF40DEA5&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=1
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
I'm an Android developer and I see the reason to not stop applications. It's the OS that manages the state of them and that has some benefits that may no be obvious for users.

You can be confident that your Android OS will close them when needed to save memory. It's well designed and that shouldn't be a problem for you, like in Windows Mobile.

It's the philosophy of Android.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Kiiv:
Yes :)

I've just watched the video in previous post and I better understand the way it is managed.

I'll not use taskiller anymore :p

But what I'm not understand it's what append if I want to go back to an application which is not the previous one, if I just want to switch between app without the "back system" ?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] reiteravi:
keep the back pressed
[Touch Cruise Android Development] criosray:
Managed environment is a future of operating systems (and not only for mobile devices) - no doubt about it.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bbezja1:
waited 15 minutes but i was too nervous to wait any longer xD

SuperJMN thanks for that info. very useful and appreciated
[Touch Cruise Android Development] mylostnick:
I'm in the same situation.

With every hero img I've tried I've the same result: it seems that the device goes into a loop (infact in the images with the hero gingle it sound at regular intervals).

The only hero system with sense ui I get to work was a Kaiser Hero of 13/08/09 but without wifi and too slow to be used. And also drains my battery!!! (even if with every android build the battery life for me is really bad... it's the same for u?!?)

See u!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
Hey just to know if dzo arrived in UK ?and have the polaris bought by bally3?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bbezja1:

i will try formating SD today at my friends place
[Touch Cruise Android Development] yippieh:
Thanks to vorticerosso I became aware of this thread. Now successfully installed Android with working WiFi from http://vogue-android.googlecode.com/files/basefiles-20090919-v2.zip with system.sqsh from http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/downloads/list.

However, I would like the applications and language pack (in particular German) from http://code.google.com/p/vogue-hero/downloads/list. However, with this package WiFi doesn't work any more. Tried to simply copy the system.sqsh to the vogue-android package, but this results in boot failure. Any ideas?

Android on Polaris

Great thread! I was amazed by the fact that Android can actually be installed on my Polaris. Unfortunately, after installing it, I can't figure out why the wireless (GPRS) internet connection won't work. Now some details:

- Polaris (the good old 1st HTC Touch Cruise)

- Pcarvalho's eXtreme ROM 3.19 WM6.5 OS 5.2.23053 WWE R0 (NON 3D)

- Polaris_Radio_1.65.30.09.nbh

- Carrier: Telfort (Netherlands, accesspointname=internet no username/passw)

- Android version: Polaris Ion 09-12-2009

- Default.txt settings [set cmdline "board-htcpolaris.panel_type=1 pm.sleep_mode=1 mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 no_console_suspend board-htcpolaris-battery.battery_capacity=1350 clock-7x00.mddi=0xa51 lcd.density=160 ppp.nostart=0 ppp.apn=internet ppp.username=none ppp.password=none]

Also, after booting Android and going to settings - wireless connections - APN settings, I get a black screen and no option to change or add APN settings.

Can anyone help getting me some internet??? THANKS! :D

Nevermind... everythings working fine now...

Boot failure with compiled kernel

Hi,

I successfully build a kernel following the steps on http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BuildTheKaiserKernel. Booting the system causes a mount error:

Using SquashFS system

mount: mounting /dev/block/loop1 on /system failed: no such device

Failed

Failed to mount /system

Any ideas?

Another question: Can I simply build the Android SDK and copy the system to an own squash file? Tried it, but also failed :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] BorisDeviant:
Ok when in the APN settings, on the black screen : press the menu touch (bottom right) then create your APN according to your carrier settings.

Then press again menu and save. Back to the APN list you should see your freshly setup APN. You may now use the Modem (application menu) to connect / disconnect.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] yippieh:
Got it now! Had to enable squashfs support in kernel config.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Michel82:
Any1 tried the tattoo version (android 1.6) oon a polaris yet?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
Devs are currently trying to port it to polaris wait :) the release
[Touch Cruise Android Development] yippieh:
Doing this, boot fails. Console logs "android_power: wakeup (0->0) at....". What can I do about this?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Michel82:
I've just tried the tattoo rom from the vogue-hero guys. It's very very promising and already quit functional. The 1.6 native resolution is really great, everything is clean and sharp and even more responsive than in the 1.5 ion versions.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Kiiv:
Yes tatoo is good ;)

But I can't get data connection for now..
[Touch Cruise Android Development] mikfaina:
Hi,

What I have to download to try Tatto release?

I try so:

downloaded basefiles from vogue android-project( I tried with the one from VOgue-hero too), and from vogue-hero system-donut-093009r1a.sqsh and rootfs-release.img end renamed that in system.sqsh e rootfs.img I also take default.txt from vogue-hero.

What's wrong? Can Anyone say what to do exactly? I have a POLA100

Thanks Mik
[Touch Cruise Android Development] kulen:
you probably have wrong default.txt you need to have polaris one which unfortunatelly I can't post right now but you can find it somewhere here.

main defference is that you need to have MTYPE 1723 for polaris
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Kiiv:
You can try this one. The system starts but no data connection for me.

Tell me what about yours.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] mikfaina:
It works now, but I don't have modem app in settings to try to turn on data...

How can I configure my APN? In settings I can't in Data.. neither.

I can't see any difference with ION interface, what's wrong? I tought to this interface.

Any ideas?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
On system-donut-093009r1a.sqsh wifi doesn't work?

On advance wifi settings there isn't the mac address!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] scripttec:
afaik that's the Sense UI from HTC which isn't ported so far?! :confused:
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Kiiv:
system-donut-093009r1a.sqsh is a Donut build as the title says ;)

For a tattoo build you have to take the system-micro-tattoo.sqsh.

Unfortunately zen removes all the files on the vogue-hero google code page...

I might re-upload it on an other place if you want. It's a build without google apps so there is no problem with it. Just let me know.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
@Kiiv ok if you can reupload them all in one package :p i want to test Tatto version. thanks
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Kiiv:
Here it is.

There is the system.sqsh, the rootfs modified by pmos and the default.txt.

I'm uploading a complete bundle but it is the same files.

Tell me if you have data connection with it..
[Touch Cruise Android Development] waterskier33:
For me it doesn't work. And wi-fi doesn't work for me neither. But speed of this build is quite good.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
@Kiiv thanks ;) for the package will try it soon

edit: wow this htc tattoo is not for daily use to slow :(

Can anyone help the soft-reset button has suddenly stopped working, I can hear the click but it does not reset the phone... I hve performed a Hard-Reset but the problem is still there... can anyone tel me if it is a Hardware issue or is there a solution for this....

Can anyone help.....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ArtieQ:
Instead of using the softreset button, try install some shutdown software like TouchOff, xdaShutdown or PsShutXP.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] iknighty:
It's a hardware issue most probably..

I don't know if there is a solution for it other than sending it to HTC for repairing but you can use one of the programs ArtieQ suggested to soft reset your phone.
