hey zen ...

i <3 you

lol love the new build. works like a f***-ing charm! wicked fast and effective. love it.
[Touch CDMA General] drewden123:
As soon as the sleep issues are fixed I'm in. As for now, I'll stick with eclair-themed donut
[Touch CDMA General] Giggles 312:
oh wait. got one prob. i cant seem to install the latin keyboard or the htc keyboard. when installing it from astro it says installation failed. imma try rebooting the phone and doin it again it maybe just blahh.
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
Does this build no longer recognize the AndroidApps folder on the sdcard?
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
if your using the rootfs.img included with the build then yes. it's stripped down. vogue only. the other rootfs.img i put up should work the same as usual. it's the standard one with a little tweaking done to the init.eclair.rc
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
The one included in the zip should work fine? Or the other one that is downloaded alone?
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
loserskater summed it up pretty well here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5188461&postcount=370

genext2fs -d ./system -b 100000 -a system.ext2

you need that -a and you need the android specific genext2fs not the one that prob comes with your linux distro. there is a download link in my tutorial thread with a quick how to. i also run as root for android development.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
the one thats a seperate download is the regular one with some edits for eclair.
[Touch CDMA General] Kblakeshot:
I am a complete noob to changing the OS on a phone, but i am very technical inclined and have modded various other things/machines. I am not understanding in full how this works and how to go about updating when a new build comes out. I know its a lot to ask, but can someone post a video tutorial on how to do this or guide me to one? Or at least a very very detailed written tutorial.

I will donate via paypal.

Lock Screen Button

Nice build, thanks, Zen.

Just curious - what does everyone use to lock their screen - I loved how I could (in 1.5) hit the end call button to turn the screen off and lock the phone. Now, the end call button doesn't do this - anyone else have a solution?

Thanks!
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
the end button is supposed to sleep the phone. this build doesn't sleep correctly so the end button just turns off the screen.
[Touch CDMA General] szman22:
That's the odd thing - in 1.6 builds and 2.01 build, the end button does not turn off the screen. In 1.5, the end button would turn off the screen and lock it.

Yes, in spare parts I have the end button set to "home and then sleep". It will neither go home nor turn the screen off, except in 1.5. Currently, I have to use "long-press back button" to get home.

Suggestions?
[Touch CDMA General] hexto:
I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I cannot get this to work. I'm used to using the systemfstonand rootfstonand and datafstonand not the .tar files. I started with a clean SD card and I put the following in it:

AndroidApps folder

rootfs.img

system.sqsh

androidinstall.tar

I flashed using DZOs latest 240x320 but when it boots up its not themed, apps are not there etc. Just plain Ion. What am I doing wrong?:confused:
[Touch CDMA General] Barogi44:
how do you access the sd card while in android?
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
First of all this is plain android 2.0.1 eclair nothing is themed except the launcher and boot animation it has nothing to do with ion except they are both android. If your trying to install to nand then use the separate rootfs.img at the top of the thread. Other than that there are plenty of tutorials to install and boot from nand. It sounds like your missing a step or used the wrong data.img. If you don't have a data.img from this specific build then you need to either have a blank one or use a blank file called cleardata instead of datafstonand This is a stripped down build made to fit on the 90mb nand partition. All extra apps are in a zip at the top of the thread for users to install what they want. The same with the nexus wallpapers/ringtones.

im running 320x489 with lcd density 110. the keyboard seems weird and there are some chinese symbols. howdo i fix this?
[Touch CDMA General] Pandemic187:
Well, that's not a normal resolution so that would be my guess. You probably want either 240x320 with lcd.density = 110 or 320x480 with lcd.density = 160. Maybe that was a typo and you actually have 320x480, but even then you want lcd.density = 160 to go along with it.
[Touch CDMA General] zkush:
oops. i meant to say that im running 240x320 with lcd density 110. also my androidapps folder isnt being read.
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
it has to be exactly like this AndroidApps
[Touch CDMA General] zkush:
it is labeled AndroidApps. im running this off my sd card. do i maybe need to take something out of the conf folder and put it in the root of the sd?
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
no it should be reading it if AndroidApps is on the root of your sdcard
[Touch CDMA General] zkush:
hmmm weird. well heres how i have everything:

Root:

conf folder (basefiles-20091116)

media folder (basefiles-20091116)

default (basefiles-20091116)

haret (basefiles-20091116)

initrd (basefiles-20091116)

rootfs (eclair-221209)

zImage (basefiles-20091116)

systemsqsh (eclair-221209)

data

AndroidApps (.apks added from ecalir-addon-apps)

Here is my default:

set MTYPE 1667

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

#

# The following kernel parameters are useful

# 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 3, use 0 for best power savings

# board-htcvogue.panel_type - Panel type used to power the panel off and on

# 1=Hitachi 2=Topoly 3=Samsung

# clock-7x00.mddi - MDDI clock (try 0xa51 or 0xe2c)

# clock-7x00.ahb_div - Advanced Host Bus divider, default is 4

# 2 is faster but uses more power

# clock-7x00.a11 - ARM11 clock speed in MHz, best to leave this alone

# lcd.density - Defaults to 160, 128 shows more on screen

# vogue-ts.XMIN - xmin value for the touchscreen calibration. Also YMIN, XMAX, YMAX, PMIN, PMAX.

#

# Probably the only one of these you will need to change is the panel type, NZ Vogues seem to all have type 1

# US Sprint vogues usually have type 2 or 3 I think.

# Make sure you add these between the quotes on the following line and that your editor hasn't split the line up.

set cmdline "ppp.nostart=0 mddi.width=240 mddi.height=320 lcd.density=110 msm_sdcc.msmsdcc_fmax=32000000 pm.sleep_mode=0 board-htcvogue.panel_type=3 no_console_suspend"

The rootfs.img bundled with my system.sqsh doesn't copy over the android apps folder. Use the rootfs-zenmod.img in the first post. It's the standard rootfs with some modifications for eclair.
[Touch CDMA General] zkush:
thanks zen, now ive got the apps. another question for u if you dont mind. how do i get a proper keyboard? mine has chinese symbols where the caps button should be do i have to do something with th IME files (i have both HTC and Latin in AndroidApps)
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
After you install the latin ime go to settings and change from the Japanese to android keyboard.
[Touch CDMA General] yes_senpai:
Any word on the sleep issues?
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
Not that I know of. I don't have time to work on it but I know a couple of the kaiser people were messing around with it.
[Touch CDMA General] zkush:
sorry to bother u with questions but i dont get any options for android keyboard. any other fix or install or something?

should i take out HTC_IME if im running 240x320 eith lcd density 110?
[Touch CDMA General] Barogi44:
is it possible to change lcd density if we flashed this on nand? if you can, how?
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
you can edit the build.prop in /system. what i usually do is connect my computer through adb in either linux or windows and do a

adb pull /system/build.prop .

then change the line the corresponds to the lcd density and change the value to what ever you want. save the file then:

adb push build.prop /system/

and then reboot.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
The HTC_IME doesn't scale correctly at 110 or 120. Usually if you want to use it you need 320x428 or 320x480 at lcd.density=160 for it to look right.
[Touch CDMA General] zkush:
ive been playing around with densitys and resolution, but in the keyboard settings android keyboard or touch input wont come up. i iave htc ime and latin ime in my AndroidApps but for some reason they will not install.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
if you have adb you can install them through that from your computer.

adb install HTC_IME.apk
or you can push it to /data/app if your running from the squashfs image
[CODE]adb push HTC_IME.apk /system/app/

[/CODE]and if your running from nand or ext2 sdcard partition you can also push it to /system/app just remember there isn't as much room in /system/app

adb push HTC_IME.apk /data/app/

long press an input box and the option for touch input should appear. you can also select it in the settings/local and text
[Touch CDMA General] xoltrix2000:
Hello Zen, first of all, you've done some awesome work here.

This build is totally awesome. The only issue i'm having is everything is so... tiny, tinier then what you have in your screenshot. I used the default img 320x480 (mainly because the Market restricts some apps like facebook at 240x320). So what can be done to rescale like your screenshot?

I have a feeling i miss a post or two about this, and I apologize if this was asked before.
[Touch CDMA General] zkush:
i dont have adb set up and my sd card is not partitioned, but astro manager and other file managers wont let me move it to system/apps. ive tried to install better keyboard but it wont show up on the input list. ahhh this is the only thing i need to fix to get this running perfect. thank u so much for all of ur advice so far zen and others.
[Touch CDMA General] bri3d:
The screenshots are 240x320, so if you want it to look like the screenshot, run in 240x320.

If your primary issue is the market scaling you can boot at 320x480, download all the apps you want, then change back to 240x320 and use that - you'll even probably be able to continue to get 320x480 apps for a while until it rebuilds some caches.
[Touch CDMA General] xoltrix2000:
EDIT: nvm! Got adb to connect! (was using recovery mode to try and download the build.prop, FAIL)
[Touch CDMA General] manu33xtro:
Hi Zenulator, thanks for your very good job. I like very much the bootanimation...

I use it with my Polaris and it's work very nice : I have a new phone !!! But one problem I can't use WiFi ! Is this normal ?

[Touch CDMA General] xoltrix2000:
After resolving the issue with adb connection, and being able to pull - change lcd value to 160 - then pushing back, i've run into an interesting problem, as I mentioned in the Flashable Linux and Android but couldn't find an answer yet. Basically as soon as I reboot, the new lcd value is defaulted back to 120, and I have no clue why :(

Again, thanks for all the support guys, really appreciate it.
[Touch CDMA General] scizzle:
Is it set in your default.txt? lcd.density=120?
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
default.txt is not read when using NAND boot, it uses what is in the build prop
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
There is a kaiser thread in the kaiser rom forum that has a rootfs.img with wifi working. So you might want to look there.
[Touch CDMA General] scizzle:
D'oh misread the question.
[Touch CDMA General] xoltrix2000:
So any ideas Jamezelle? on why it's not saving my new settings after boot?
[Touch CDMA General] enatefox:
xoltrix2000, I can't run from NAND yet so forgive my less-than-informed advice but check all the files you find from running this:

find / -type f -name build.prop
[Touch CDMA General] vilord:
FYI you can also just add ro.sf.lcd_density=160 in default.prop in the rootfs, just make sure to edit the default.prop that is in /init.etc (the one in the / folder gets generated on bootup)

Also, just to keep things updated, I've made progress porting over the dzo libaudio, I'm probably about 40% done.... Porting the libcamera should also be doable with a little work.

I'm also working on updating the RIL to support tattoo and possibly hero better... so far my tattoo build just about fully functions on the GSM phones, but still has issues on CDMA that I need to work out.
[Touch CDMA General] xoltrix2000:
Ahhh i see. I'm guessin there is no way edit the rootfs from windows eh? heh

In that case, it looks like i'm gonna need to install and learn linux :(
[Touch CDMA General] enatefox:
Not if you pull those files to your computer with ADB, edit and push back.
[Touch CDMA General] sshark:
I was trying to edit /system/build.prop using VI available in ADB but functions available to VI are quite limited (or may be I don't know all of them).

I could not even go to next page using key sequences available to me.

I will try vilrod's method of editing default.prop from rootfs.

@enatefox: can you not mount rootfs or for that matter /lib as rw, make changes and push new changes?
[Touch CDMA General] sshark:
Bingo, we have a winnar! Thanks vilrod for juicing it up.

Edit: I am not still seeing apps which I think have been blocked because of 320 x 240 resolution. When market starts, is it looking at build.prop or default.prop?
[Touch CDMA General] xoltrix2000:
Awesome sauce!

I was wondering when you get a chance sshark if you can upload the modified image files (rootfs, system, etc) of default.prop and build.prop, It would be greatly appreciated.
[Touch CDMA General] sshark:
I am running it from NAND and made these changes on the fly, I can upload default.prop, if you want.
[Touch CDMA General] manu33xtro:
Hi Zenulator, thanks. I test it now... Very good work :)

I love my new phone ;). It remains only has the bluetooth function and this will be awesome.

Thanks again for all of you guys...
[Touch CDMA General] xoltrix2000:
That would be awesome too, where do i push it to, /system/ folder?
[Touch CDMA General] sshark:
Here is the file, push it to init.etc directory.

You will need to remove/overwrite existing default.prop file.
[Touch CDMA General] xoltrix2000:
Thanks man, I tried doing chmod 777 default.prop, but i get an error saying Read-Only file system. How did you remove the restrictions to overwrite?

[Touch CDMA General] xoltrix2000:
Why are you guys so awesome? It was right on! It finally worked! I kept the 320x480 rez with 160 lcd density, it's perfect!

Hopefully we can have a updated rootfs/system.sqsh files with this config in the future yes? :)
[Touch CDMA General] tacotime77:
need some help guys!

some of my apps are full screen, others are not

does this mean that I screwed up flashing the linux kernel?

prior to this awesome build, I was using one of the hero sense builds, which used a different resolution.

and I have 2 other questions...

-I can't seem to find the option to set the sound for text messages anywhere.. can anybody point me in the right direction?

-I'm assuming I need a dictionary installed for predictive text.... what do I do?!

i loaded this back on my vx6900 and im still getting force quits in the settings menus and the nexus bootanimation didnt come up either.

is there a new system file that im supposed to be using?

also, how would i go about getting the key controls back to how my 1.5 cupcake build was setup. i liked the back and menu on the volume key.
[Touch CDMA General] crackeyes:
Zen had to pull his system files but if you find my post about two ago I am hosting them
[Touch CDMA General] Farmer Joe:
alright cool deal. ill see if those work better.

how do i got about getting the key commands from my cupcake build? i remember seeing that you just add "oldkeymap" to a file.
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
You would have to remove "oldkeymap" from a file. There was a basefiles package a while ago that included the new keymap zimage and one that was labeled "zimage-oldkeymap" or something like that. I am pretty sure though, that that zimage with the old keymap, if you can find it, is outdated.
[Touch CDMA General] Farmer Joe:
okay i put that new system and rootfs on the card, booted up with the nexus boot and the OS run so much better now. no more force closes. it runs just as good as my cupcake build i have on my other sd.

edit...

also one more thing. now that i have this newer system file, i dont have the other apps that are usually on the build. i downloaded the extra apps zip from the post before. where on the sd card do i put these files?
[Touch CDMA General] Link9228:
I see you already have one host, but if you need another, just let me know. I'd be more than happy to host it for you.

make an AndroidApps folder in the root of your SD card, and put them there. They will be detected and installed on boot.
[Touch CDMA General] Farmer Joe:
one other thing ive noticed it the onscreen keyboard is flippin weird. the settings menu for it is in chinese or something, and i cant turn off the auto suggestion and stuff like that. alot of what i try and type also come out as chinese characters.

also, wasnt able to get the extra apps installed. i added the folder to the root and put the apps in it. they didnt install.
[Touch CDMA General] Link9228:
I noticed that about the keyboard as well. As for the apps, now that they're on your SD card, you can try using Astro or another File Explorer application to install them. I recommend Astro though, it works really well (I'm not sure if it comes with this build or not... I may have it in my AndroidApps folder so it might've auto installed)

I'm under the impression that this build has sleep issues that drains the battery pretty quickly (in a day)--yet it's receiving a lot of praise in this thread. Are teh sleep issues resolved, and perhaps somehow I missed that?

Just wondering if I should give it a whirl as a replacement to Donut. Yay/nay?
[Touch CDMA General] Alvintae:
can someone post the sqsh file the download links doesn't work for me.please
[Touch CDMA General] vogue-droid:
it's not a donut replacement right now. the sleep issues are still present even in asop 2.0. as far as i know the source for 2.0.1 isn't out yet. this is taken from the sdk emulator image and parts of the milestone (gsm droid) and nexus one.
[Touch CDMA General] vogue-droid:
actually power issues look to be kernel related. check the kaiser rom threads for more on this since there are actually some other devs working on the kernel.
[Touch CDMA General] Shidell:
Interesting--thanks for the head's up.

Although, if it is kernel-related, wouldn't that mean it should affect all of the Android builds, not just the 2.0 AOSP one?
[Touch CDMA General] enatefox:
Seems that the newer Eclair builds don't have sleep issues. I'm on it.
[Touch CDMA General] bzo:
Has anyone succesfully installed the LatinIME? I've tried 3 methods: Astro, adb install and adb push. Each time it fails, with adb logcat reporting:

Btw, it looks like they are making some progress with the sleep issue in the Kaiser eclair thread. I tried the test zImage that newbie16 created and my vogue seems to sleep now.

How to install android on vogue from windows 7?

Sorry for the dumb question, I am new to the android world.

Is there a way I could install this without Linux running on my computer? I am running Win7, and an 8gig microsd card in my phone.

I really want to try out android on my vogue, without installing linux. Any pointers are much appreciated!
[Touch CDMA General] Nick N:
Android for noobs (like myself)

Please note that I have nothing to do with this build in any way, I just thought I would compile everything that is necessary to run this version of Android on the Vogue in a single zip file using the most current and compatible versions of the required files. Hopefully you will find this is a true drag and drop method for those of us that want to see what Android is all about but have no idea what we are doing. :D

Basic requirements:

Computer with USB port for MicroSD adapter or SD card reader, etc;

MicroSD or MicroSDHC card (Class 6 preferred, but not necessary), formatted to FAT32;

Optional: Gmail account (you will need this to download Astro file manager from Android Market so that you can access extra files in AndroidApps folder);

Download this ZIP file:

Link

1. Unzip file directly to root of MicroSD card

2. Eject MicroSD card from computer

3. Insert MicroSD into Vogue

4. Open File Explorer within Windows OS

5. Go to Storage Card, find HARET. Click it.

6. Click the Run box next to default.txt

7. Wait for Android to load (takes a while initially)

8. Enjoy!

I will try to post later about accessing the apps within the AndroidApps folder. These instructions should be enough to let you see this version of Android on your phone. ;)
[Touch CDMA General] sshark:
So is this a new build or just compilation of all files in a single folder?
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
its the build from the OP
[Touch CDMA General] Nick N:
Sorry, I should have quoted the poster before me...

It is a compilation. The file I uploaded is basically all of the files, zimage, haret, root, etc from the links on the first page, intended to help someone who has no idea how to get Android running on a MicroSD card. I spent a great deal of time searching through threads, etc when I first started using Android, I am hoping someone who is new to Android on the Vogue can download my file, extract it to a MicroSD, and be running it within about 5-10 minutes. :cool:
