How to enter the pin code?

Is there any fix for it on Kaiser as both providers I have don't allow for disabling the pin code.

On my Rhodium I can enter the pin code with no problem, but the drivers for Android are sorely lacking for the platform.

Is there a way to use Android on Kaiser without entering the pin?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
I never entered a pin code...android works fine for me.

you may need to do this in winmo first then boot to android.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] junooni:
any reason why the processor jumps to 100% even on small tasks like opening the browser, and sometimes even flipping home pages?

the device goes very slow and keeps on lagging for quite sometime.

i have all the animations etc disabled but still the same issue
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] preventer22:
Thank you very much for all the hard work and a lot of sleepless nights.

I have try for a weekend to make my Polaris run the eclair.

The problem was, I can't get the installer up when I press the Dpad.

After download for few difference zImage file, finally I got it work.

It just amazing, need to thx a lot to everybody.

For sure, we need to read a lot of the thread before we get the answer.

There is more than few thousand post out there and there is some very major one, you just can't miss and need to re-read few more time.

don't know why, I still can't get my GPS working, but doesn't matter, I will wait for the next build.

I need to get my PayPal account re-active.( didn't use it for three years):D

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kosmarnik:
My gsm provider doesn't allow disabling the pin code on their SIM cards. It doesn't matter what phone you use.

The only way to use Android on kaiser is to take the SIM card out, boot into Winmo, which takes a while, and then boot android.

Any other way?

the herate is not big

zimage only 1xxK

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Well you could try it, may not work, it'll depend on what the update does, it may work fine, or it may not work at all, since it was designed for 2.1g.

On a related note, I have put polyrhythmics 2.1D link in my sig, be aware that it's just the installer file.

After flashing the .nhb it doesnt boot.

hello everyone was trying to make a nand installation but after flashed the nhb successfully through the memory card, and after having removed the battery and started kaiser...not making the boot. is only on the screen "smart mobility" and do not pass it any suggestions?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
the initial splash screen stays for a few minutes before booting usually, if it does not you may have to try another nbh, it'll depend which one you flashed, for poly's eclair i'd recommend getting one form here: http://ponack.net/poly/BT_Update/index.php?folder=S2Fpc2VyX05CSHMvRWNsYWly

If you have already used one from here, it's possible it was corrupted, try a fresh download and reflash that.

Hello!

I need Your help!

My Phone is HTC TYTN II

I've install android to SD.

When i'm running Haret with zImage from 2010-02-20 - WiFi doesn't work (say's "Unable to scan for networks"), but USB connecting to computer works excellent!

When i'm running Haret with zImage from 2010-03-26 - USB doesn't work (My Linux can't see in "lsusb" any new device), but WiFi works succesfully!

What I need to do, for WiFi and USB working???

Thank's for Help!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Not sure about the USB, since I have never had perfectly functioning USB, although I manage to get ADB functioning, which is all I really need.

Wifi should work fine, however you are possibly using old zImages, you may wish to try the 06/04/2010 one that is recommended for polymod http://ponack.net/poly/BT_Update/index.php, also if you wish I have the link to poly's 2.1D in my sig, this should hopefully give you working wifi at least.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] VladbIka:
Another problem!

Haret can't run linux with this zImage... it say's "booting linux" and freeze :(

Reverting to winmo

I've been using Android on my Kaiser and the whole experience is great! (I can live without a camera, the Kaiser's sucked anyways) This has become my permanent phone until I can get a proper one.

My only problem is that I've been having performance issues and I've read that installing it the NAND way can solve that. But if I do, is there any way I can revert back to winmo if I want? Do I just flash an official HTC ROM? Need help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] highcoder:
Yes. You only have to flash a WinMo ROM of your choice to get back.

I´ve my android on NAND. It´s very fast, stable and i don´t think that i´ll flash back to WinMo.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] VladbIka:
I made it))) i Installed Polymod 2.1D to NAND and everuthing works :)

Russian interface is good, but there is no russian keyboard! where can i find it???

Thank you guys!

where can i donate to? ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Glad to see you have it running VladbIka, I think Kalt_Kaffe's NBH may give you russian keyboard, not certain though, however have a look at the thread here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=660158 to see if it will help.

You will have to edit the NBH to enable different keyboards and set the resolution/panel type, so be careful ;)

For donations I think you should choose either to donate to the chef who built the android you are running, or to the forum itself

NAND install help

So I tried to install it the NAND way on my Kaiser but I'm having a problem. It only boots into linux once (when i first flash the KaiserCustomRUU) and never again. How can I force it to on boot?

I tried using the SD card method but that doesn't work either, the tri-colored screen pops up, it quickly says 'No Images Found' and it just stays that way. Also, when i flash the KaiserCustomRUU, I can't boot the phone back into winmo and i have to flash it back using the original ROM.

Please help
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
I would suggest you STOP trying to flash to nand and read all the flashing help guides here on the forums.

you obviously don't know what you are doing yet...

and you WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!!!

wait until you fully understand what you are reading before trying again.

and you may want to read up on how to flash back to winmo after flashing android (BEFORE YOU FLASH ANYTHING TO NAND)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] rawfae:
I've followed the instructions in the guides word for word. literally. and i've flashed back to winmo like 10 times the past hour (no even joking) so i think i'm good there.

The problem I'm having is that it won't flash off of the SD card. The KAISIMG.nbh file. thats all. I get to the point in the guide where its supposed to happen (with no hiccups on the way) and it just....doesn't.... :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
few things to check....

1. sdcard must be formatted fat32

2. I cant flash an nbh with partitions so make sure its all one fat32 partition.

3. I have ran into problems in the past with capitalization so make sure KAISIMG.nbh is in all caps.

4. when all else fails try a fresh download. (files get funny sometimes)

also: KAISIMG.nbh MUST be in root of sdcard not in a folder. and androidinstall.tar must be in andboot folder
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] highcoder:
How do you want flash backt to windows? Over SD or USB?

The best way to flash (back) to Windows IMHO is over USB. Charge your Battery, remove all cards (SD/SIM) from Phone, go in Bootloader Mode (hold power + photo & push reset with stylus until hou have tricoloured screen), apply an USB connection to your PC ("USB" must show in bottom of Kaisers screen) and start flashing your WinMo ROM of your choice (flash tool is an .exe file, the most WinMo ROMs are like that).

Before you try flashing android next time:

1. Use the latest radio from the radio thread in Kaisers WinMo section.

2. Download the latest android kernels for kaiser and an android release of your choice. I use Kallt_kaffe´s kernel & Myn´s warm donut. It´s not the latest android but the most stable one for kaiser, especially for android beginners its the best choice i think.

3. Whipe your SD card to minimize issues. Read the install instructions carefully. So you may have to prepare the KAISIMG.nbh with a HEXeditor to change paneltype etc.

4. If you read & UNDERSTAND every step you have to do, you should go on with flashing.

So be patient because there is the risk to brick your phone.

best regards :-)

Thanks for all the help guys, I managed to get it working. Just trying to iron out a few bugs now (random multicolored pixels :S)

Man, if I had put all effort into earning money, I could've just bought myself an HTC Desire instead :P
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] highcoder:
Multicolored pixels caused by using wrong paneltype settings in NBH. 3 different paneltypes. You´ve to figure out which panel is built in in your Kaiser. The only way is trial & error. :-)

Taskiller taskbar widget

android normally has a few apps running at startup, which is why I add the taskiller widget to one of my screens, a quick tap of the icon, and my kais is nice and responsive.

Linux Bootloader

Ok, I managed to install Android the NAND way and everything, it was working fine and all that. Then I wanted to install an update so I turned off the phone, but now the Linux bootloader won't show up. It just stays at the 'Smart Mobility' screen. Is there some technique I'm supposed to be using when I start it up? I'm lost here...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
It should stay on the bootsplash screen for a few minutes, however if it has not started after 5 minutes, try reflashing the NBH.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] amubs:
The problem is that there is so many things loaded at startup that the taskiller gadget doesn't appear entierely, I have to launch the taskiller program to kill all (when the menu want's to appear :rolleyes:) and then all gadgets appears...

It took some minutes to my phone to be usable
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Yes, this is normal, it does take a few minutes for everything to start up, it's the price we pay for running Android on hardware it was not designed for, with a processor that struggles to keep up, and lacking in memory....

But damn it's fun to do it ! :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] amubs:
Personnaly, I don't use Android for fun, I use it because i find it's better than Windows Mobile even if it's slow some times and have bugs. :)

Is it more fast and have less bugs when it's running from the Nand?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Oh yes, it's certainly faster, and, as far as I'm aware, more stable, yes it still has issues, and yes I have went back to winmo on a few occasions, but that was earlier in development, now I use it every day, all day, with time it becomes second nature to bypass the minor inconveniences.

Please take it slowly and calmly when installing to nand, read everything carefully, and remember, if you have anything you are not prepared to lose on winmo, back it up before doing anything, and copy the backup somewhere safe too.....

As far as I understand, the issue is when you put the phone to sleep, it does not go to sleep, just shuts the screen off. The other build have full power collapse, so it really goes to sleep. A few of the Developers are working on this (thanks goes to them for the great work); untill then, either have a 2nd battery or always have your charger with you.

I know I have seen this many times before, I have not experenced this however from what I read the issue is your phone and not the build. You need to disable the pin code in windows

New to Android

I need some help to get android running on my AT & T TyTN II. I come from www.androidonhtc.com and I had android running almost successfully however a few things weren't working well.

This forum seems to be most active with updated files. I'd like to try it and downloaded all files except startup.txt (bandwidth exceeded).

questions:

* Do i need haret.exe?

* Where is initrd.gz? Do i need it?

* startup.txt == default.txt ?

* eclair.user.conf where should this go? and is this necessary?

I have put the following on my sdcard inside android directory.

zimage (renamed)

system.sqsh (renamed)

rootfs.img (renamed)

Anything else i need? I figure data.img is created during first boot?

Thanks for all this effort, it is much appreciated!

Anand
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] maneki:
Yes, you need haret.exe to launch Andy :)

initrd.gz inside android/ dir,

startup.txt == default.txt, I think so, but I usally use default.txt.

eclair.user.conf inside conf/ dir (inside android/ dir )

you have to put all the following unside android/ dir:

- rootfs.img

- system.sqsh

- zImage

enjoy

Thanks (and a new dilemma)

As you can probably see, this is my first post on this site. I have been lurking around for a year or two and have dabbled in an occasional new rom or two for my Tilt.

I would like to thank everyone for the tremendous (and sometimes overwhelming) amount of information available here. As is often stated, you can find just about anything you need by searching. That is why I have never had to post.

I decided to try this new Android version and am amazed at how simple it was to setup and how well it works. So well in fact, that I now have a major problem.

Do I use my recently updated, latest and greatest, smooth running windows mobile rom or do I use this very sharp and well running Android as my everyday operating system?

Perhaps the battery draining too quickly on the Android will require me to stay with Windows Mobile for now but when that gets fixed (as it inevitably will), it is going to be a tough decision.

Once again, thanks to all the numerous contributors on this site. You are all making me spend way too much time playing with my phone.

Hi all,

Could there be a possibility to extract the BT code from that rom and make the bluetooth on 2.1 working?

Hope that is going to work :)
