Hi,

very impresive progress over here!!

I followed the discussion on irc channels the last days.

Would be nice to benefit from the improvements on other platforms as well.

Will the patches be pushed back to linuxtogo kernel rep?

I personally do not own a blackstone, but i'm trying push development for kovsky platform.

We still struggle with the screen upside down.

Anyone out there working on better implementation for the epson mddi client?

Keep on your great work!!

Best regards,

scholbert

Battery false reporting

After switching back to WM found that my battery was very low and took for ever to charge. This morning I have had the phone on charge for about 3 hours and the battery was suggesting it had gone from 37% to 54%. I did a second soft reset and then the battery reported to be at 100% in WM.

So I feel it has been false reporting until you do the second reset as reported previously.

Cheers

The first time android boot, it take a while to show the desktop.

Some times 2 or 3 minute before the desktop appears...

So maybe, you must wait a little bit.

This is because Android boot process must make, first, the data image.

Hi,

I tend to disagree with that conclusion for the main reason that this was not present in previous Tux builds. Tux's first Alpha release (which I've just reinstalled for reference) was also on an Android 1.6 build, and that didn't have the

wholesale

application shrink issue as we are experiencing here. The only outstanding applications that shrunk in those previous versions was PacMan and LunarLander.

BTW, I've always preferred and used a density setting of 180.

Well, he did make some changes in the system files, but he refused to tell anyone what he was actually doing so if you want to find out you'll have to mount the system.sqsh in linux and compare the files.

[Touch HD Android Development] mcdull:
for your information. setting lcd.density=240 would make applications to scale correctly.
[Touch HD Android Development] auss81:
It's what I said, even if 240 makes the general resolution a bit low for a WVGA LCD.....

I agree that maybe the solution is in the system.sqsh, I'll try later to mount it on my Ubuntu..... something about the Xserver??

Downloaded and tested this build yesterday. I almost got the WiFi-connection to work. The device found my access point but:

1) When trying to connect to the router without open ssid, I couldn't choose the security method. When klicking the arrow button to open the pulldown menue, it closed the setup tab and brought me back to the network settings tab.

2) After making the ssid visible and then connecting to my network (which worked!!!!), it took me a bit too long to find the server data. The screen shut down and I wasn't able to get it on again. The hardware buttons didn't respond at all (no vibration). I gave it a while before resetting. Now, when I rebooted and tried to connect in winmo, I couldn't connect to neither wifi nor data link anymore! I don't know if this was just a coincidens but since I only changed the setup in android, it pretty much seems to be, no?

Just wanted to let you know. Maybe someone encountered the same issue. After doing a hard reset, I'm now formatting the sd (again) and give it a new try later. 'll keep you posted.

Anyways: I wanted to thank everybody for doing all this - great job! On my device I must admit, tuxes build (or who ever did the v.2, I don't want to contribute to that discussion) ran much more fluently. But g sensor and hopefully wifi working - man, thats real close to paradise! Maybe the last gas station on the highway to heaven;) So, Big Ups to all of you!!!

[Touch HD Android Development] mitikos:
Is a well known problem, and sadly the only way to fix it is buying a new sdcard that is not class 6.

You need a class 2 sdcard to be sure.

Nobody tracked this problem and we still dont know why in some sdcards works and on other doesn't
[Touch HD Android Development] Cyclone_storm:
Works perfect with me and very smooth. Only when I configured the APN settings I did get a G and 3G logo constantly, only there is no Internet connection. And sometimes my sound disappears after using it for a wile. The rest of the build works perfect with me. :D:D:D

and ya, any tester pure backlight on /off working or thats just dimmed one ? (i.e. there is always light coming screen which is not Fridley for battery.)
[Touch HD Android Development] wvernon:
I can't be sure but i think the lockups are independent to the sleep mode. I have had about 5 now whilst changing the wallpaper, texting, dialing a number, etc.

Hopefully when we can get a link to the version that Bl@ck has it might solve it.
[Touch HD Android Development] demon83ft:
Hi Guys,

My impressions :

As somebody mentioned before, 3G icon is not moving when data is downloaded/uploaded.

Screen is stopped but it's not completely shut like WinMo, more like a complete black background and some very low backlight is still on.

Bluetooth seems to work nicely.

Accelerometer works nicely!

GJ!

Rob

Side question : is this package ( tux + your zip ) compatible with zImages released here?

http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/blackstone/

I mean these zImages should contain everything we have here?

Thx guys
[Touch HD Android Development] phhusson:
data connection on official android phones and WM based phones is done a totally other way, so that's normal. I'll maybe fix it one day, anyway it's putted on my todolist.

Have you unticked auto backlight in WM ? Ihas to be off for be able to set backlight in android.

No inverted axes or such things ? Good to know i wasn't really sure about this.

Should work, but you'd better to use http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/special-diamond-raphael-wifi-bluetooth/.
[Touch HD Android Development] chelseafcuk:
When i open a program (downloaded from android market ) it is very small on the screen - any way to fix this? and I read wifi works any one know how and also thanks for the vodafone settings got internet up and running now :)
[Touch HD Android Development] phhusson:
Try changing lcd.denstify in the cmdline in startup.txt

Download http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/special-diamond-raphael-wifi-bluetooth/calibration to the root of your sd card, using th modules and zImage, it should work then.
[Touch HD Android Development] Bl@ck:
instead of 180 write 220, everything is much bigger and fills better the screen.
[Touch HD Android Development] marmin:
Maybe I'm being a bit dumb but how do you download? Got Tux's on my storage card already, so do I just need the donut bit and the calibration bit.

When I right click the link I only get save target as, and then it only saves as a HTML doc!!!!!

Dying to try it!!!!!!!!!

Hi,

doesn't matter what i try, keep getting the same error every time at boot:

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem....cannot access tty job control turned off

anybody have any idea?

(used 2 different cards, both worked with de tux android, both are fat32 - kingston)

Just Dial *#*#4636#*#*, then you will see the Test Menu, go to Phone Info, and there you can change the SMSC.. That doesn't work for me, but who knows.. Try to find your SMSC number on your provider's website or google it .. :)

hi folks,

well thx for your tips, now it s up and working :) you have then 1 more beta tester

this is the list of the prob i have wich slow me down for become a fully android user:

i always have a sort of backlight in "sleep mode" wich must surely drain the battery, any ideas why?

i have lots of trouble for get the screen back up, touching all sorts of button (power, back action, left right) and sometimes the home screen is back.

how do you proceed for have the home screen back in "one touch" ?

camera is not working (vidéo and photo)

if you have any tips that can solve my probs, please share :)

thx a lot

[Touch HD Android Development] mitikos:
I got a bug... that is not really a bug....

If u look the pics u have in the sdcard with android, it creates a thumbnail for each one, so when u are back to WIMO and go in the album u will have 2 version of every pic, a small one and an original one :)

So dont get mad like i did, if u see your pics not fullscreen in wimo, just slide down and u will find the original full zise ones :)

Enjoy :)
[Touch HD Android Development] Duncank:
That's right, it's because Android makes another folder (albumthumbs) with the little previews. That's why the first time you enter the image gallery it takes a while to load, but every next time it's much faster. I think we have to live with this, because it's the way Android works. It's not designed to work on the same device another OS is on.

There's something that feels right about this project advancing Tux free. So, I'll respect (right or wrong) his unwillingness to share, while having full confidence that this minor irritation will pan out. The current Dev team have already advanced way past previous achievements, while maintaining the true spirit of open source and collaboration.
[Touch HD Android Development] A|ex:
this is a bit confusing with a new thread, so what version is this release asi noticed it says nov 15 but 0.2 was earlier. is this a newer version than 0.2?

same question right now.. :) it confused me a little bit
[Touch HD Android Development] cvchetan:
well this release is not based on tux so its no numered one.

but yes it is a better release thn his....
[Touch HD Android Development] Duncank:
It's a completely different build, from another team who's working on it. You have Tux's version, 0.2 which isn't updated in a long time. And there is this version which is updated quite a lot, and is (way) further in developping than Tux's version.

So use this one if you want the latest and best working version for your Blackstone! Enjoy!
[Touch HD Android Development] blackholeit:
Nice work guys.

Sometimes it becomes unresponsive, but that's fine for now...

I really don't like the actual use of "power button" as a "home button", imho it should behave like under wm.
[Touch HD Android Development] vader hd:
Hey everybody,

gave it another try. Still the furckin thing won't connect to any sort of network. How can that be? I run the files from 1. page and already tried the 1951 modules n zimage. Nothing.

On your phones the connection indicator wouldn't disappear, mine hasn't shown up. EVER!!!

You have problems finding wifi networks and when this is solved, it works. Mine finds my network instantly, but it wouldn't connect, no matter what I do. It shows me, it's wpa encrypted, the signal strength, ssid - everything. Where does it get these info, if it can't connect?

Same goes for data link. WTF!!!?? But then I was at all times able to charge via USB and I don't experience abnormal power drain (okay, it's more than winmo, but not that much) + I can send and receive sms. Why is my phone that different to all your's? Maybe I should check, if it developed some sort of personality?! OMG - I'm going nuts. AAARGHHHH!!!

It's getting worse and worse. Now I got a cool working android distro on my phone with working g sensor and a real cool power button behavior. Only thing is it's almost useless to me without any connectivity but the normal phone functions...

Anybody any ideas? And will there be further changes or improvements or are these features considered working (since they actualy are for most of you) and won't be touched again?
[Touch HD Android Development] phhusson:
There are some network problems somewhere between me and linuxtogo, that's why i currently push to gitorious. You can use gitorious freely (and i can anyone as commiter.), or you can push back my patches to linuxtogo if you can. (git can)

As I did for blackstone, i'd advise to try to make unified kernels, this should help a lot in porting. Also we would need more code sharing between boards, currently boards are a big mess. blac/raph/diam doesn't even use the same GPIO thing for the gpio keys, while the gpio matrix is actually the same !

cr2 is.

Please note that it is NOT a lower resolution ! It's only the density of pixel per inch (or something like that), and then fonts (and other things i'd guess.) are rendered using fix "real" size. The blackstone hardware is, as far as i know, totally unable to use lower resolution.
[Touch HD Android Development] vader hd:
Now, when I look in the security log of my router it says "*Phone Mac adress* has connected to device". So the connection must have been build up. Why wouldn't my phone recognize that? Which part of the software is responsible for that? The kernel? The modules? What might be worth a check or a change? Any clues?
[Touch HD Android Development] phhusson:
If it's the usual bug, it's android fault (anyway it's always android fault or qualcomm's fault ;). Try to use fixed IP address, if it still doesn't work, then it's another bug i'm not aware of.
[Touch HD Android Development] Bl@ck:
vader i got your same problem but i've just figured how to make it work, try it:

1) start wifi, usually first time after boot fails.

2) select your network and click on connect, most likely it will not connect.

3) switch off than switch on wifi, after some tries the wifi will autoconnect to it.

tested right now while playing with this distro :D (1951 kernel+module here too).
[Touch HD Android Development] auss81:
I'm going to test latest kernel on 17 November........:)

You right, isn't the resolution, it is stable 480x800 :)

A new zimage avaiable here http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android/ (the one from Tue Nov 17 11:24:16 2009 +0100) unzip and put everything in the root of your sdcard rename the new zImage.20091117_112416 to zImage and u can delete the old modules

Sticked in the first post also

Enjoy :)
[Touch HD Android Development] Bl@ck:
alright sir, gonna test it right away!
[Touch HD Android Development] DaniLoveSky:
mitikos,

Do you have any info on what is improved/what to test?
[Touch HD Android Development] mitikos:
Solved:

Connect the phone in "Disk Drive" mode to the pc thru usb, browse the sdcard and enter DCIM directory, You'll find a directory named .thumbnails.

These is where android saves the thumbnails of all the pics u have.

Right click on it and choose properties and check Hidden box, accept for all the subdirectories and files.

That's hit! Now the directory is there, but hidden, so WiMo is not gonna see it anymore, and u will not see the thumbnails in the Album application in manila.

Enjoy :)
[Touch HD Android Development] mitikos:
Yes u can just check the 1st post, every new file is updated there.

If u follow the instructions u will have no problem to install it and try it.

In this new kernel there's more stability, wifi is supposed to be better, but not big changes yet, Stay tuned :)

Enjoy :)

Thanks for the DCIM trick!

About latest Kernel...... I can say that now my wifi connects and works soon, tested 4 times. Maybe is my luck? :p
[Touch HD Android Development] gaelynx:
First, thank you very much to all contributors to the project. So much progress since the beginning, it's awesome!

Similar wifi problems for me:

After copying the latest files (from Android-Donut-htclinux-15-11-09, modules-zImage.20091115_195140, and rootfs.img-15-11-09) onto the sdcard, Android boot for the 1st time. Then under the settings, we can turn on the Wifi. It says "cannot scan network" but then my Livebox wireless connection (secured with WPA) appears in the list. I select it then enter the wep key, but then nothing happen, it stays disconnected.

After rebooting and launching Android again then the connection is "not in range, remembered". I can press "menu" then "scan" but then nothing happens, no feedback.

Turning wifi off and on again shows a feedback though: "scanning" appears next to "wifi networks". And then my connection appears as in range. But then it stays disconnected if I click on it.

Eventually after many tries I got an "Obtaining IP address.." but it doesn't end anywhere, just stays displaying "Obtaining IP address.." until I either switch off the wifi or reboot.

Actually to be able to connect to my connection we have to add the MAC address in the authorized list of the wireless router by pressing an "association" button on the router, and I've read somewhere in this thread that there is a bug and that the MAC address change (which is not supposed to happen)? So that might be part of the problem.

Concerning the use of the terminal, no virtual keyboard popups when we launch it, so I guess no other choice but to activate the msmvkeyb_toggle? is that correct?
[Touch HD Android Development] vader hd:
Thanks for your help (same to you bl@ck)! I tried the fix ip earlier the day - at least I think so;) I configured it in android and told my router he had a new friend. I'm just not totally sure that doesn't collide with dhcp.

After countless switching on and off and numerous flight mode pass throughs (thought worth a try) now I had that problem with the wifi secrurity settings pull down menue again - kicks me out, when I try to enter an encryption method. Hm?

Just saw there is a new zimage. Good time to dump what's on the sd and start from scratch again.

Running my circles here I get a picture why the google folks called it donuts;)

almost forgot: Is it better to turn on wifi and data before booting linux or could that confuse the router because of the mac change?
