That actually happened to me a couple of days ago with this build. But then I re-downloaded all the files (saving my data.img, of course), replaced them, and it started working again.

If it's something else causing it, you have to ask polyrhythmic because I'm not sure.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Pandemic187:
I'm not sure. Poly, does mic record? I thought it worked in your last (unthemed) build.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Biglittlewhateva:
NP. I'm a light phone user anyway. I can keep it charging at night and I always carry two batteries (even with a battery friendly ROM). I will be keeping my eyes on this, wish there was something I could do to help it along. :o

Hacked Suspend Kernel UPDATE 9 Jan 2010

[ Download suspend_update-9Jan2010.zip ]

PLEASE READ THE README IN THE .ZIP FILE. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT. Some highlights:

* Backup your data first(!!!):

This is experimental! Please make a backup of your data before booting this kernel.

If you are running without partitions:

Boot out of Android, and copy the file /android/data.img from your SD card to your computer.

OR

If you are using the partitioned method:

Reboot Android, and during the Android boot process, enter the installer by pressing VolDn (left soft key). It will ask you if you want to backup your data. Press VolDn/LeftSoftKey again to backup your data. It will create a file /android/backupsystem/databackup.img on your SD card. If you want to be extra safe you can reboot and copy databackup.img to your computer.

* To install:

Unzip this package to your SDcard /android folder. Using a File Explorer, navigate to /StorageCard/android and launch 'haret.exe'. To use this new suspend-hacked kernel:

change default.txt to default-u.txt for Kaiser

OR

change default.txt to default-uv.txt for Vogue.

Press 'run' to begin booting Android.

(If your screen colors seem odd and wrong, you may need edit your default-u.txt/default-uv.txt to change the panel type to fit your device, as you may have in the past.)

Vogue users please let me know if I need to make changes to the default-uv.txt!

* About this update:

These files use kernel zImage6_b by Newbie16 and the default.txt setting pm.sleep_mode=1.

This kernel will make your device sleep almost immediately after pressing END/power. You will need to use the power button to wake the device. Great news: I've gotten over 16 hours of battery life with medium use.

WiFi, alarms, texts, and other notifications *should* work with this build. I've tested it over a couple days, on rare occasion it doesn't boot for me. Just reboot and try again. If you find a new bug, please report it in the thread!

Hope this doesn't happen, but if you have to restore your data backup, see the README, section header:

* If this kernel crashes/is unable to boot

Thanks and enjoy! More updates as I hunt bugs :D

EDIT: If a Polaris user can send me a default.txt I'll add that in too!

sorry off topic
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Biglittlewhateva:
LOL. Never heard of it. If you look at my location in my posts, it is the coordinates of my house. :p

Hey! My phone went to sleep. Thank you very much polyrhythmic, Newbie16 and anyone else that has contributed. I'll test it some and report back.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jamezelle:
yea never seen anyone leave coordinates to there house :p thats great. btw i went to north hahaha
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Biglittlewhateva:
Yeah, odd thing to do on the web, I admit but, who would actually come to my house anyway (I don't even want to be here). I wonder if anyone ever even noticed. :D I grew up in Cleveland, I've only lived in Akron about 10 years.

Messing with my phone and ran Java and it will not close or force close.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Pandemic187:
I don't know much about Akron, but LeBron James is from there so it must not be great...;)

OKAY and now back to things related to this Android build. Don't want to get too off topic!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Biglittlewhateva:
LOL. Akron is a toilet. One of the most boring places I've ever been. You not missing much. ;)

How do I look at the partitions on the SD card while running Android? Through the terminal? Would that require root privileges?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
Not sure what you mean by 'look at the partitions'. 1st partition (mmcblk0p1), the FAT32, is mounted to /sdcard. 2nd partition (mmcblk0p2) is mounted to /system. 3rd partition (mmcblk0p3) is mounted to /data. You can check disk/partition sizes and the used/available space by using the df command (same as in all Linux). You don't need root but you can always get root from the command line with the command su. If you use adb shell you automatically gets root. When you're root, your prompt will be # instead of $.

For a command line, I prefer using ConnectBot in local mode because you can copy+paste, and can use the soft keyboard to get special characters like > and |. Terminal from Dev Tools is always available though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Pandemic187, mic does work but not for everything. With SpectralView (seriously an amazing toy) the mic works, with G-string it crashes audio completley requiring a reboot. We all know that voice search has some issues. These aren't specific to a build but for our libs.

Poly and Newbie16, you guys are doing a great job getting the suspend hacks going. I'm told the main issues are with the audio libraries. Since when did we get audio driver output when it boots? Something is with the Eclair versions. I think vilord had the wrong source or something (read it but forget the source) so that's the real solution to this problem.

Biglittlewhateva, I don't know what you're really asking but if you want to just see all of the available partitions including on the SD card, you can run:

cat /proc/partitions

if you want to see what is mounted where, just run:

mount
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Biglittlewhateva:
Cool, thanks. I was wondering how I could verify the install to the ext2 partition somehow. Browsing around my phone I see I have a root / and then /sdcard. Does that mean I installed to the ext2 partition correctly? I have a dual boot with Ubuntu but have never really taken the time to learn it as well as I know windows. :o
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] wdbanks:
Im assuming that I change the zimage6_b to zimage...correct?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
@enatefox: babijoee has solved the adsp problem for RAPH, I'm looking into his build to try and learn something. It's been hinted for a while that the audio drivers are being rewritten for Eclair, the audio libs we use for Eclair are NOT the ones out of the rootfs that work for Donut and below. Not sure yet exactly what's going on, but I'll find out soon. Also, G1 guys have partially reverse-engineered the camera driver, enough to get a basic picture, but HTC has not made it easy. A lot of progress is happening for how short we've had Eclair to play with. I'm also hearing that we may need a new kernel to get hardware OpenGL working... supposedly Cyanogen has the updates in his 2.6.29.

@Biglittlewhateva: If the installer moved your system.sqsh to /android/backupsystem/installedsystem.sqsh that means it's installed. If you still have a system.sqsh in your /android folder, it's probably running off of that.

@wdbanks: The system I use (and the way I wrote the default-u.txt) is to keep the zImages with their original name so I know which one I'm working with. Instead of renaming the zImage, I edited the default-u.txt to point to zImage6_b for the kernel.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Biglittlewhateva:
Cool, it worked then. Thanks for the info. :)

On my last reboot the phone locked up. There was some code on the screen, it may mean something to one of you devs...

Yea, 2.6.27 was buggy enough let alone 2.6.29. It shouldn't matter. I've been messing with Flan lately and it's pretty well usable for a new release and using Eclair's libraries.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dr3w2k:
Haven't tried the new suspend hack yet, but I plan to.

But...anyone else have an issue with audio notifications being delayed? So when I get a text message or when I get an incoming call, the phone will vibrate and then maybe 3-5 secs later I get the audio notification. Same delay happens when browing the ringtones. As you choose each one, there is a 2-3 sec delay before they play. Also noticed that alot of times when a notification plays, initially the volume is very loud and then it evens out. So you get a quick blast of volume and then it goes normal.

Is this a common issue? Maybe a radio issue? I am currently using 1.71.09.01.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] apache141:
I like this update. I have noticed a big change in my battery not draining as much. Great build i am really enjoying it
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] wzzp144:
new files question! please helppp!!!

okay im kind of confused. Do i just transfer default-u.txt and delete the orginal default.txt or tranfer them both in the root file and go to heret and just press run and in text box it will say "default.txt"? and i delete the other Zimage12-15-09 and replace that one with Zimage6?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
@maneki: This is based off of zenulator's port of manup456 which is built off of Eclair 2.0.1 SDK. My build process is to start with a build that I know works and make incremental changes with unit tests along the way to make sure that I don't lose features by adding other features. I'm not building from source yet myself.

@dr3w2k: I get that sometimes, but usually it works well. Android has always vibrated before playing notification sound for me.

@wzzp144: 1st, backup your data. It's easy after that. Extract suspend_update-9Jan2010.zip to /android on your SD card. Run haret, and change default.txt to default-u.txt to use the new zImage. If it doesn't work for you, you can still launch the old zImages by using default.txt or default-s.txt as before.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
wzzp144, only the end key and power button should wake the phone. Otherwise it's not sleeping. Could be you did something wrong or an app is enforcing a wake lock.

Hi All,

I've been running the last update however with some minor issues such screen freezing when trying to add shortcuts of widgets.

I been trying to get the latest update to run but without success it just locks up during the boot sequence so I'm back on the previous version.

Thanks to all the dev's for getting this far greatly appreciated.

Is there a chance of having more than to 3 screens for shortcuts and widgets etc such as SPB shell where it has 2 on either side of the home screen?

hey devs... respect and many thanks for the new dark build..

everything is working well for me... gps, wifi, google apps...

the only thing is the music player app.. i have only 3 of my 1k+ songs in the playlist..

i can play all other songs, when i open a mp3 via astro file manager, but the music player don't get ID3-tag or the filename/artist, etc.. but it plays!

...thats NO solution for the DAILY use (i use it 2-3h/d)

i've read something about the UTF-8 coding? how about that? can i re-encode or something my mp3s on my pc in ""ASCI"" / or simply convert it to an other format? maybe this will work?

Hi Just wanted to say what a truly awesome android build. I have had my kaiser for about 4 months now and was never "really" happy with any of the winmo roms. Android seems to just work. Its a little slow sometimes but i'm sure thats to do with my sdcard not being partitioned correctly.

Can anybody point me towards a tut to do this?

Anyway congrats on the build. I look forward to the next release.

Mo

My testing of zImage6

Big ups polyrythmic and the team.

I finally was able to partition my card correctly via Gparted and UBUNTU. Learned a lot, lets just say.

Loaded zimage6, so far all I have seen as minor problems, were previously fixed on zimage3 (the previous), such as airplane mode never being able to reenable the connection without a clean data.img generation.

Gps is also not turning off at application close, but needs further testing.

Mic also doesnt work for voice dial Apps.

Also, pandora stops playing in sleep thankfully at song end, but will play next song quickly after unsleep then unlock.

I am going to run this all day 1/10/10 Sunday and check battery.

I am really enjoying testing this.

Hello sorry for the translation, but Google is my friend.

WiFi power drainage

Hey, thanks to the new power drain fix my battery has been lasting much longer! Hence this is definitely one of the best android builds ever for the kaiser. My only concern now is that when using the wifi, my device becomes rather warm and the battery drain is evident, although the battery meter indicates no change. Since if i use the wifi, the battery life is cut quite a bit. I doubt it is hardware based, as in winmo it works just fine for hours n the device hardly if ever warms up. . . Anyone else has similar issues, or may have a fix?

Re-Install after partitioning SD card

Hey all,

I've had great success running polyrhythmic's Jan. 6 Eclair 2.0.1 Beta 3 Dark Themed, which was my first install.

I'm now interested in partitioning my SD card AND installing the Jan 9 Hacked Suspend kernel update.

From what I was able to find in previous posts, in order to keep my programs/call log/texts/etc., all I need to do is first backup the card, partition the card accordingly, and then copy the backed-up files back onto the FAT32 partition. From that point I just follow the directions provided in the Jan 9 update readme.

Since this is my first attempt at an update, could someone verify for me that if I follow the steps above I should be able to keep my programs/texts/etc. in tact?

Thanks to polyrhythmic and everyone for all their work on this. I'm loving my Kaiser again, and proud to be a donor!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] loserskater:
On your sdcard there should be a data.img. Copy that to your desktop, then partition. then move the data.img back to the sdcard with the new system.sqsh. run the installer when it asks, and it should update the system to the first partition and move the data.img to the second. so if you do it all correctly it should work out fine.

Google Navigation

No one seems to be complaining about Google Navigation freezing up the phone, so I am assuming it is working fine for everyone else.

It happens every time I run Google navigation, It works perfectly for a little while, but then freezes up completely.

I've formatted the SD Card and started with a clean data.img file but to no avail. Ideas anyone?

Trouble with Partitioned SD Card

So.... I downloaded the Dark Themed Eclair for Kaiser and the Optional Apps and the Hacked Suspend Kernel.

I deleted everything off my SD Card from the old Eclair and booted this version. Everything worked fine. I installed Maps and Nav and got a GPS lock and was very happy. So I figured I would try partitioning my SD Card and installing Android. That's when everything went down hill.

After multiple attempts to partition my SD Card via windows and various different programs and a couple diff Linux live distros I have laying around (windows mobile kept telling me the SD card wasn't formated),

I was eventually able to install to the SD Card by following these steps:

1) Boot a GParted live CD and creating a FAT32 Partition

2) Boot to Windows and Format the FAT32 Partition and place Android files on it

3) Boot back to GParted and create 3 more EXT2 Partitions

4) Put the SD Card in my Kaiser and Hit VolDn when prompted to install

My partitions are:

1) 4096MB FAT32

2) 256MB EXT2

3) 3407MB EXT2

4) 32MB SWAP

Android installs AND boots fine. Everything appears to be working fine EXCEPT I can NOT install anything. In the settings it says I have 3.07GB of free space in the "Internal Phone Storage" yet everytime I try to install anything from Astro/Market I get "Out of Space:<app> could not be viewed. Free up some space on your phone and try again."/"Sorry. There's not enough space to install this item." I've tried wiping the SD Card and repartitioniong using the above steps twice and all three times I get the same error when trying to install. BTW, Google Maps from the OptionalApps.zip file is the one I'm trying to install.

Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know the solution?

Hey everyone. Man, it is crazy after being gone for a weekend and having to catch up on everything going on! Great update poly, I do have one issue. I was running zImage6_b with an original default.txt. It used to sleep when I pressed the end button (with a blinking amber light) and now, with the new build, It "sleeps" rather shows the blinking light, but any button will wake it. What changes should I make in the default.txt?

Also, any fix for getting the sms wake up to work?

Great work as always.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Yaantra, what I do is remove AlarmClock.apk then create a folder on the SD card called andextras. I have about 80 different clock themes so I do this in ADB:

ln -s /sdcard/andextras/AlarmClock.apk /system/app/AlarmClock.apk

Now I just remove the clock from the home screen, put whichever one I want in the andextras folder and add the clock again. It's instantly updated.

@Mizi666: There are a TON of music library management programs that will rename all your files, I don't know what will work best to ensure you have all compatible characters. Hopefully we can fix it in the source before long.

@kr4zyc1d: Are you sure your default.txt is using the zImage6_b kernel? It definitely sleeps.

@Rom30: Something's wrong with your data partition. Try checking your partition sizes with the command df in terminal. Not sure what's wrong unless you mixed up KB and MB.

@dyetheskin: market's a little slow since we have no OpenGL acceleration. Is there an update for the Facebook that comes with this build? All my preinstalled apps (GPSTest, Taskiller, ConnectBot) update as they should.

ABOUT BATTERY ISSUES:

I don't know how many times I can post this, we know the battery drivers for Android have numerous problems, anyone is welcome to contribute a fix.

About SMS and other issues:

I'm not having these problems and generally can't reproduce them, or I would list them as a bug. If any of you can attach dumps of dmesg and logcat I can look over them. Without details, I don't have anything to work from.
