I forget who requested this on IRC (show yourself and receive credit!)...

The rootfs and initramfs build services are now (hopefully) hooked up to an xdandroid twitter account. If I did everything correctly, it should tweet every time a new build is generated. Additionally, I set up a twitterfeed for our kernel tree, htc-msm-2.6.27, which will post commits to that account as well.

I'm sure I'll be posting any major announcements to that twitter feed, so people interested in up-to-date development should follow. :D

unsquash and mksquash

I am trying to make a new system.sqsh to change to system fonts, to allow viewing arabic text (anyone already got that working?) i used the windows build of the squashfs-tools, unsquashes the system.sqsh, replaced the fonts, and mksquashed the folder like this:

D:\documents\squash>

as you see, it says that it built a 3.1 filesystem, which is what is readable by XDANDROID as far as i understand

when i try to boot to android, it hits me with the error "Can't mount /system"

what did i do wrong? is it related to the file permissions maybe? do i need to change the files ownership, or the system.sqsh to something specific?

thanks for support

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] rujelus22:
Do you have access to a linux PC? the windows squashfs tools are not the best. the problem is either with something you changed or an issue with the squashfs tools. I had the same issue trying with wondows. Also just to check did you rename in back to system.sqsh instead of NEWsystem.sqsh it will only work if it is named system.sqsh on your card.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] reverendkjr:
Using the -2 sqsh files, and up to date zimage, rootfs, and after having deleted and recreating img file a few times, the market and most things seem to work. I have noticed a few issues with this build:

-Bluetooth headset works, but boy does it stutter! Its not just stuttering like the connection is bad, you can actually tell that the phone is struggling to send the audio to the headset. its not missing parts of the song, its actually sending the song slowly. A two minute song takes like 10 minutes to listen to.

-Bluetooth connection to handsfree car adapter pairs fine. It even sounds like the adapter is turning on when a call is initiated, but the audio never goes to the handsfree adapter. It still comes out of the phone's earpiece.

-Hooking up the charging/3.5mm adapter that comes with the phone does not allow audio to go to the 3.5mm headphones that I plugged in. The little headset icon also does not appear at the top.

-Any video playback in general (from the sd card or youtube) stutter.

Not complaining, just relating my experiences. The developers rock, and they know it!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Thanks for the feedback, but if you read the open caveats list you would've known that ALL of the things you listed are known, documented bugs. It's an ongoing process!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] reverendkjr:
Understood, however, these are items that I did not experience in my last iteration. I actually had my bluetooth headset working fine, and my output to 3.5mm headset working fine. That changed when I used the new sqsh. I thought that this may be helpful info.:D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Really!?! It was my understanding that BT has been "working", but audio wouldn't ever xfer to the headset. You could pair, and answer calls... but that's about it (again, based on what I heard.)

Did you grab the 2.1 sqsh in the first post or are you using the sqsh from the AIO package released on the 31st?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] reverendkjr:
Answer calls has never worked and still doesn't, but the music would play through my BT headphones just fine. And I would frequently pump music out to my car stereo through the headphone hack and one of those stupid cassette tape adapter things. Keep in mind that this was in a 2.0.1 build.

I grabbed the sqsh from a link in someone's post here.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] haaibaa2:
Thank you both. Works perfectly.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] divxmaniak:
Hi all,

I deleted all files in the internal storage of the Diamond, then copied all updated files, but I have a problem.

Once I click on the android, setup wizard starts but because I don't have an internet connection, I cannot access to my google account and I cannot go on on the setup.

Workaround?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] mac6408:
This is a wierd and upsetting turn of events for me. I've been messing around with Android on my phone for months so I'm not a newbie. I just formated my SD Card and put redid my build of android I tried to launch it and it came up like normal and got to the Android start up logo. I decided to let it wait cause it usually takes a few minutes to get past that screen so leave the room and forget about it for about an hour. I come back and the screen is still on the Android screen. I reboot and go to WinMO to make a call...ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE...My touchscreen is now unresponsive and if I look closely I can see the Dots on the screen and a little discoloration on the screen also. What the hell happened. I've tried to flash to the Stock ROM for ATT with no results. Anyone have any ideas?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] TheDeadCPU:
There is a skip button.

Wow.. That's weird. Actually sounds like this one time this guy left his Diamond in the sun, same thing happen.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yes, I would skip the setup and wait until you get a cxn... that's what I usually have to do on first installs. You can go back by going to settings, then accounts & sync. S/b able to do it via wifi if needed.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] divxmaniak:
Could you explain me better?

I cannot skip the procedure. What does it mean cxn?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] TheDeadCPU:
Umm.. There is a skip button right there.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yes, there's a skip button on the wizard. Sorry, cxn = connection - as in a data connection on the device.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] sensimilla:
I had the same problem with the android setup when I tried the new system.sqsh. Pressing skip just restarts the process, as does putting in my google account settings and going through the setup options. I gave up in the end and went back to the 31/3 release.

As a previous poster mentioned using the latest kernel and rootfs it is working much better than before. Previously downloading and installing a few programs from the market would grind my diamond to a halt, but this time the phone stayed responsive throughout. :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] hamagc:
i too had a problem where after i entered my google settings, it seemed to restart the process like an endless loop, until i noticed a botton on the bottom that said something like continue or something. there was an option there to move past that screen after your settings are entered. very confusing though.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] gm112:
This happens with the 2.1 sqsh, not the 2.0.1 package.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] hamagc:
correct, this was on a 2.1 sqsh not on a 2.0.1 sqsh.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] boas:
Thanks for your efforts!!! I wanted to map it too but never got the time for it :-( So I'm very happy you did it and made the rootfs!! :D

So do we scandinavians need some command in the startup.txt to use the RAPH Nordic keymap?

Thanks, and I hope that this will be implemented in the autobuild rootfs soon!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] zen15:
yep..., i tried to hit the hw home button in my diam100, and the setup process skip to the android home screen
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] divxmaniak:
Hy guysm the solution for the first installation setup is to not use the Wizard, but the first choice available.

Not "setup wizard"

Unfortunally android is still too slow for my taste and the battery consumption...:eek:

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] lugiber:
I don't know about bluetooth since i hardly ever use it.

But i believe most improvements regarding battery life has to be done in the kernel and are not particularly affected by which version of the droid you are using.

Screen calibration...

Hello all! I am new to this forum, and really like it and the XDAndroid port :D.

Anyway, I have the HTC Fuze, and the default screen calibration did not allow for me to freely access the top quick menu (services and notifications)

so if those like me had this problem, here is a fix :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Modified STARTUP.txt:

set ramsize 0x10000000

set ramaddr 0x10000000

set mtype 1910

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

set cmdline "lcd.density=210 msmts_calib=0x7a.0x8e.0x35a.0x37f clock-7x00.a11=500 msmvkeyb_toggle=off pmem.extra=1 gsensor_axis=-1,-2,3 board-htcraphael-navi.wake=0 physkeyboard=fuze"

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] reverendkjr:
I just tried this set to 1, and nothing was different. I tried it with 2, and yes, I do get sound exclusively out of my headphones, and cannot switch back to regular speaker. I tried the headset switcher widget, which has no effect at all on whether or not the headphones work, even when paired with 1 or 2. Although, the widget DOES detect whether they are plugged in or not.

im using the 2.0.1 build for my pure and everything seems to work as it should except ringtones. i have nothing on my sd card other than the files needed to run the android build and a few ringtones. the ringtone names are in english, no special characters. does anyone have a clue why this is?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] reverendkjr:
I noticed today while playing between version 2.0.1 and stinebd 2.1 that Slacker works WAYYY better on 2.1. On 2.0.1, it would only play one or two songs and then freeze up. With 2.1, its amazing and works like it should.

Also, I have lost the ability to do voice search with 2.1. And of course, Shazam has never worked for me on any build. At least it starts to work on 2.1, then it says that the version is incompatible. I looked, but I couldn't find anything on whether Shazam is compatible with 2.1 or not.

I got the latest Facebook(4/23) to work in 2.1. Its seems to be a little better than the last. You get the inbox now, and when you browse through photos, it doesn't open a web browser, its native inside the app.

I confirm that speakerphone also doesn't work in 2.1. Until I saw someone else post about it, I hadn't even tried. I just did. It's not working. Oh well...

Releasing new build based on Stinebd 2.1 build

Adding some core apps that should be very practical.

Read changelog for details.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] RedSoniq:
Great !

I was about to try out the older package. I'll wait a bit till you're done releasing.

Much appreciation for everyone working on this project !!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] lugiber:
Thanks for replying!

Does it work for you with the 2.1 release?

I have snd.force_headset=1 in my startup but I still only have audio via the speaker. I have to use "=2" to force the sound to be routed through the headphones.

If I use the 2.01 release from march 31 usb headset detection works with snd.force_headset=1 though. And I have to use that option for the detection to work. Without it all sound is played via the speaker.

I'm using a raph100 with the latest zimage, rootfs and initramfs.

And while were on the subject of audio, does anyone have a clue on how to get rid of the audio "stuttering" on playback? Is this a problem caused by too small audio buffers?

Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] rvdgeer:
By new build do you mean the 14.2 build or a newer build?

I found the 14.2 system.sqsh in the first few posts, but no changelog, so not sure what you meant...

Should I be patient? :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
Its based on the 14.2 build. I've added the basic apps that need it for daily use aswell as remove the adds which pop up in apps.

And just some miscellaneous stuff like nexus boot animation and media.

edit: Just having a few hiccups here and there. Still trying to figure whats causing it. I'll be releasing the build sometime tomorrow.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] siulmagic:

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] phhusson:
Re: [prj][android.2.0.1|2.1]

2 is true force, 1 is autodetect force (basically kernel land detection). But I wanted it to be as less ugly as possible, so it's not fully automatic. One way to reforce detection is to start a call. I'll see with chamonix if he can add something to do that. Or perhaps I can do true autodetect.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] stinebd:
My in-progress kitchen does not include 3D drivers from Qualcomm because of licensing and legal issues with redistribution. The drivers used in released builds are still compatible with XDAOSP but I personally cannot redistribute them. If packagers choose to, they can and hardware 3D will work.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] reverendkjr:
Quick question to anyone who knows:

What is the advantage to having 3D drivers, other than running a 3D game? Do the 3D drivers improve the overall graphic performance or smoothness of the OS?

EDIT: Also, does using 3D decrease battery performance?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] gm112:
3D Drivers provide hardware acceleration so that's offloading material from the CPU to the GPU. While the setup on the phone is a CPGPU, it would still help a lot.

Only for 3D apps and some weirds 2D games.

I don't know why but this latest package (31.3) do not start on my Raphael (raph100)

It allwary freeze after first loading (when u click on HARET)

Some advice?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] reverendkjr:
In my experience, a black screen after clicking Haret almost always means either a file is missing, OR your startup is messed up. Double check your files and then check your startup against the ones that people have posted.

Hope that helps.
