GPS users: I've been having GPS problems too, but as I'm usually on the road they're hard to catch. The new GPS driver prints a ton of debug info to logs, so if anyone can put their phone near a window and get a logcat dump or dmesg dump while GPS crashes, that would be really helpful.

@the-nj: sounds like you need to do a full reinstall. The dreaded 'android-power wakeup' message means something in your system/data is corrupted.

@xxaznxx27: Read your dmesg.txt, everything looks normal. Sorry, reinstalling usually fixes the issue.

@lggyxx: Glad you hear you got it working! Hope you enjoy Eclair!!

@zenity, @moisha: Good find on the nano + libs, guys! I've already added your files into the next release -- G1 OE users wanted that too. I'm recompiling the Dialer today for this next version (the in-call keypad is unusable in QVGA right now) but otherwise it's ready. I'm working on getting our sources linked with the official OpenEclair repo so that we can be on the same timeline as the G1 guys and we'll be able to compile a full build from source as well.

@Raymongo: The important application is the 'Clock' application. Of course, if you kill that task the alarm won't go off since nothing will trigger it. If you set your TasKiller app to ignore the clock app you can still killall tasks and it will leave the Clock running. This upcoming release has much better memory management.

ya i guess...i tried everything now...the only thing i want to try is to copy the libarys to the new /data from an older databackup.img

i managed to ectract the files in the .img and now i need to find the databases of the text messages and the settings and the contacts.

where can i find them?

or is there a wayx to find out which files are corrupted? so that i can modify them?

thanks

Quick note: although nano now runs fine using the update tar, I still have no joy finding the ctrl key to use the editor commands, it's a partial success until that's fixed.

@lggyxx: Glad you hear you got it working! Hope you enjoy Eclair!!

Thank You i am. Couple of questions.

If i backup my data in the boot menu can i use recover data or recover when it crashes..because that happened and i had to do everything all over again this morning.

Does GPS take data? cause i dont have a data plan so i use wifi. Is there anything i should disable to not receive data charges?

I have att and my phone says cingular. is that ok? I still get 3g.

When i load up Market, it crashes.

:p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
Yes, if you backup your data in the boot menu, you can recover data in the boot menu after a crash.

To ensure you won't use data, go into Settings -> Wireless & Network -> Mobile networks -> Access Point Names and if you see ATT (or anything but a blank screen), go into that setting, press menu and choose delete. That will remove any 3G network settings that your phone uses to connect.

GPS won't use data if your data is turned off as I described above. Some of AT&T's towers still identify themselves as Cingular. I don't know what's wrong with Market, it always works for me.

On my Tilt, the Ctrl key has always been "OK", the key to the right of the Windows key, works perfectly with nano for me!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] lggyxx:
thank you for the quick prompt. i c a att wap.cingular and its a green light, when i hit that i see name, apn, proxy, port, i dont see a menu and delete option. Also If i turn off the 3g does that mean i cant receive picture messages?

also, on my text message..my symbols are mixed up as when u flash a new rom..on my windows mobile rom i used the keyboard fix to fix this..can i use the same fix?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] xxaznxx27:
thanks for taking a look at it! i think i have the exact same problem as the-nj. i've tried reinstalling like 10 times and it still gives me the same thing. should i just go back to stock rom or something?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] garringm:
correct me if I'm wrong anyone but if you disable your data then you won't be able to recieve mms messages which anything other than a text message under 160 characters is considered MMS. but if you really want then you have to hit the windows button on the dpad to get the menu they are talking about *but* if I remember right and this may have gotten fixed the apn will return on the next boot.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] lggyxx:
well i have att and i need data to be on to recieve mms, which is part of sms after the iphone came out. so if i dont have to turn it off i wont. so far it hasnt affected my data charge since i checked on att website..

anyone having problem with the symbols while typing?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Not on my kais130.... maybe I should use a tilt keyboard nbh, and just remember which fn keys are swapped.

@garringm : that usually means you are using a tilt nbh on a non tilt, if you use the vilord nbh this will cause 'swapped' fn keys, ( @ gives you !, ! gives you @). my solution was to choose a dzo nbh which comes in non tilt flavour, solved my problem, but may have given me another ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] lggyxx:
same here. ctrl key is def working perfect. just the fn key...but its a minor detail. unless i wanna put like @ or a wink u know ;-)..then it look like "#)...lmaoo

market works fine..i think its a wifi thing..buuuuuuttt..i just accessed it with 3g...omg they gonna charge me lol
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] DJHile:
Okay, first time trying to install here...

I've downloaded the correct files and moved the androidinstall.tar into the andboot folder and moved it onto my SD Card. When I launch the haret.exe it starts to boot then gets to a point and says "can not reach system.img" ... what am I doing wrong here?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] lggyxx:
rename your device default to just default
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] DJHile:
I did that. Still getting the same msg. **edit: I wasn't hitting the D-Pad fast enough when it told me to to launch the install. It's going now, we'll see how it goes!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] garringm:
not me with problems Im using the correct nbh for my tilt

@lggyxx you should try finding the correct nbh file for your phone there is one for a tilt and one for everything else kaiser. This is where you are getting your problem. I can't remember which one I am using for my tilt though.

u need to partition your sd card. 1 fat 32 and 2 ext2 partitions..each 256..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
@lggyxx: you need to choose whichever panel-type worked for you before.

@DJHile: Those messages are normal, only some builds have those directories, don't worry about it. And no, you DON'T need to partition.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] usatraveler:
Noob question, I know, but how would I go about doing that? At the very least, is there a good thread you can point me to? I'd like to help out, just not sure where to start. Seeing full-on Google GPS features on this thing would be amazing.

Just to clarify, there are two situations, at least in my case, that I'm running into:

1) More commonly reported among other users. Applications other than Maps immediately crash, rebooting the phone into Android. The GPS icon does appear, and begins blinking, when the app is opened, but the screen other than the top bar remains black, and it eventually all freezes and reboots.

2) Not sure if it's common. In what I estimate to be the majority of my GPS lock attempts in Maps, GPS never locks, even when left on for nearly two or three hours in some cases. This is generally on a moving bus, though it does lock within five minutes, sometimes within one minute, in some situations along the same route. Getting Nav to hold the lock, even after locking, does seem to present a challenge, though it does intermittently re-lock.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] DJHile:
What do I do once I receive those messages? It happens right after it says "Android Installed" then I get nothing... it just gives me those messages and then takes me back to the install screen. I tried rebooting the phone and it just stuck. Then I took the battery out for 2 mins and it booted back up to the normal WM today screen.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
I'm using this one from dzo's page, kaisimg-panel2-480-15-02-10.nbh, which is a non-tilt keyboard one, panel 2.

Those are the vilord nbh's, which as you can see are all tilt keyboard ones.

If you need to change panel type, download another nbh with a different panel number, keep the same resolution, if you like 480, get 480 panel 1 2 and 3.

Best way is to format a small sd card, about 128Mb or so if you got one, copy all the nbh's to that, rename one at a time, flash one, see if it works, if not, delete the kaisimg.nbh, rename the next, flash the next, once you find the one type that works, delete the others, and stick to that panel type.

You do not need to reinstall each time you flash an nbh, just let it boot after you have flashed.

Polyrhytmic, ive seen somewhere in topic that question but i cant to find it now so ill ask again - is there any chance to get working bluetooth in the early future?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Once the install is finished it is supposed to go back to the install screen, you then select quit, it'll then continue the android boot.

I assume your running off SD, in which case it'll go back to WM if you reboot, that's normal also. To run Android now you just run Haret again, this time ignore the 'press and hold d-pad' and let it continue.

When running from SD it does not install to the phone, just to the SD card, leaving WM intact, however it does give you valuable practice for when you wish to install to Nand :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] DJHile:
Hmm.. for some reason it's running horribly slow for me (possibly bc its only run from the SD card?). .. I also keep getting errors on just about everything. Incoming calls, trying to setup google account (says cant get a data connection), when launching things it tells me that the process had stopped unexpectedly and to please try again..

Is this normal?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] VulpesFoxnik:
Pertaining to the Bluetooth situation in Andriod with the HTC Kaiser, I investigated it in mainline Linux and in Android. Apparently the device needs firmware just to get it work on the TI BRF6300 chip-set. Apparently it is contained in the G1's filesystem as well. It could be an easy fix.

/etc/firmware/brf6300.bin

-Apparently I am not allowed to post links for some reason, Anyhow Google for 'BRF6300 bluetooth linux'-

I am posting it here as I lack the ability to even view the new HTC Kaizaer Andriod Rom hacking forums. Hoping this gets seen.:confused:

thnx. how do i install this?

i am having a bit of a problem with screen timeout..even though i have it set to sleep when fone is idle for 2 minutes..it goes to sleep in seconds say if i put my passcode in wrong. Terminal fails to come up, i have no idea why and i turned off android keyboard. but when i start say a new text message, it comes right back on..

cant wait for the next build..very nice thnx guys

o and a couple of things i realized lol

..sliding the keyboard out does not put the fone out of sleep..pressing the end key puts the phone to sleep but you have to press the power button to turn it back on..minor inconvenience..just checking if anyone else experience these

hey man, very nice work!!

i flashed my kaiser yesterday, its applications work as they should be, pretty great and i love it so much.

But there is one bug on my telephone, that it cant parametrize APNs:confused:, neither "add new" ...which means i can't use web. in fact, when i go to until "access point names", there is nothing but just a black wall...see the images i uploaded in this post, it shows my current pb.

Why my battery shows allways 100%??
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
I'm sure that will change, Android battery capacity estimates take a while to settle down after a new install, it should correct itself in time.

My kaiser along with many others (all?) does not charge when shut down, so I tend to put it to sleep and leave it on charge at night, this also seems to help with the battery estimate, mine now seems accurate enough to trust :)

Help me add topics to the wiki

Alright, I'm getting devoted to this wiki-thing as it doesn't seem as if we have a good enough one(?), with content that is easy to refer to and understand.

So, those of you who have missed it; http://www.sandladan.nu/wiki

I'm asking you to add topics to my wiki that you simply just can't live without or must be able to refer to in the future. I'm talking about those FAQ's you have to answer all day, the stuff you never can seem to remember when you need it the most. Yeah, that stuff.

I don't know really where to post this subject, because this is not about ROM development, but it is still very much related to you guys in this thread, as much of what I've been writing about comes from discussions in here. PM:ing could work, so do that to keep this thread cleaner.

Another note, I've yet to open up this to you all. I will in due time but I have to get more familiar with how to set pages and sections up, so it won't become a tangled mess.

Just flood me with things you'd like to see written down in the wiki and I'll add the non-written sections at the front page of it, so you can see how I'm doing.

Wireless + Screen Orientation

Hello, I'm using Polymod 2.1b and have 2 problems on my kaiser

wireless

The wifi seems working fine because it connects both to my home and work networks , I can see the icon showing up on the top panel and even run successfully ifconfig from the terminal as root ( I can see my ip address set correctly)

However it seems not to be able to reach the internet or any other pc on the lan. When I try pinging everything ( even the router or just google.com ip) it takes 1000+ ms to get a packet back... and the result is 90% packet loss. How could this be? With previous releases it worked just fine

3g works

screen

When I open my phone to use the physical keyboard the screen orientation changes successfully but when I close it just invert the orientation but it keeps being horizontal. I used to fix such kind of issues by playing with screen resolution, but trying both the native and the forced high res I got the same result and even changing the density didn't help.

I attached my default.txt and I'm using the SD card partitions installation

Any help would be really appreciated
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Adler87:

Well, I have been using this for a long time now, but finally decided to go the NAND route. I am an idiot apperenty, and picked the wrong panel type. It worked fine in WinMo, but after I installed to NAND, and WinMo was gone, the screen is messed up. It is a similar problem to what happens when the lcd.density is not set correctly. Is there a way to flash a different .nbh file now that windows is gone? Or is there a way to change the screen settings somehow?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jrmurph:
Yes, you need to download your correct panel/aspect ratio .nbh file, put it on the root of your sdcard and name it kaisimg.nbh and power the phone on while holding the camera button. This should display the multicolor screen for a second then load a screen showing the file you loaded and ask you to hit power to flash, press the power button and wait for the flash to finish. Once done, pull your battery for a min or two then power back up like normal and it should boot with the settings from the new .nbh file

Hey all,

I'm having the moment vs hero debate with myself that a few others have posted threads about on here. I'm wondering if there's a good chance that htc sense will be lifted out of the hero rom and available for install on other devices (read: the moment) similar to how manila was on windows mobile devices. I understand the hardware differences, to me Sense UI will be either a game breaker or a game maker.

Thoughts?

Don't think that's gonna happen sense is from HTC and is not free to duplicate.

Also not saying the moment isn't as good or even better then the hero but if you'd run sense on the moment it might be very lagging.

Since even if it's made it won't be optimized for the moment (since htc won't make it anyhow)
