Screen calibration ?

Using same 110 setting here while running on my Vogue.

My screen calibration is off a bit especially when using the screen keyboard (b/c no physical keyboard on vogue). Not sure this incorrect calibration is due to the LCD Density setting. Just curious about your experience.

Is yours working correctly?

Thx...

On my kaiser I was able to calibrate de touchscreen by pressing the camera button and then with the stylus touching on the top-left corner and then on the bottom-right, so the OS know the real display size
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] garringm:
I dont have any issues on my tilt, I dont use calibration never really had the need. 110 sets everything just a tad smaller for me mainly helps out with the dialer but still keeps the images, bright crisp and clean I will try the calibration on mine and let you know

Flash question

This may be a stupid question, however when you all were talking about partitioning your SD cards, were you talking about doing so with NAND or just partitioning your card and running haret off of it? If so, I would like to try this method, it sounds like it is working out for those of you who do. I had just assumed that it was only for those with haret still! Thanks for the help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] j101399j:
I have not tried NAND but from what I understand you cannot use the EXT2 partitions with NAND since everythjing basically now runs off the phone and not the sdcard; please correct me if I am wrong
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kr4zyc1d:
Well I am running NAND but it requires that you do have certain files on the SD card if I am not mistaken. I was required to have a blank Data file when i first flashed it, but i am not 100% on what i was doing. Technically my phone works, but i leave the SD card in it, not sure if I need to do that or not. Can anyone else shed some light on what nand is actually doing?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kubino99:
Hi

you can use NAND with ext2 partition. The flash contains just kernel and initrd. The initrd detects your sdcard the same way as you run it via winmo. You need to install the build to be able run from NAND.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] StevenHarperUK:
Hi, I am on 2 ext2 partitions and its reasonably smooth; how is it on NAND, is it much smoother?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kubino99:
Android completely on NAND is runnig very smoothly. Normaly it requires SD card inserted, due to initrd and rootfs is checking if the card is present to be able start the system. I've played a litthe with rootfs and initrd init-scripts and now I'm able to use the system completely from NAND. No SD card needed anymore.

i don't get it...

hey...so i dont get the whole NAND thing...

is that a complete new build that is flashable?

so i will loose all my data when i install that one?

or is that just the part that i can flash any build...

so is there any way to keep everything as it is right now and justr make this build flashable?

thanks

Media location

Sorry if this is out of the topic. I wanted is anyone can help. My problem is that there are no tones after installing this buid. Does anyone know where exactly media files have to be in order to have at least some ringtones?

Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] j101399j:
@anubius;

use Estrong File Manager and under settings goto root view and then mount the system image. once you do that you can copy the stuff in the media folder from /sdcard/android/media/audio to /system/media/audio doing that will give you your ringtones

@the-nj; NAND puts Android on the phone and replaces WinMo; it flashes the phone. And you will be starting over from scratch and using a previous build
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] anubius:
Dear j101399j !

Maybe you can help me a little more. I followed your instruction however I can not make this directory writable. It is also strange but in Root enable it also gives me two ROMs options: Cyanogen Mod and HiAPK. I tried mounting both with no succcess to enable writing into system folder.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] j101399j:
@anubius; Ok, the issue is your system.sqsh is not editable; so you need to change it to a system.Ext2 file; The nice thing is when you change the file and use the new one, you do not need a new data.img; Here are the steps:

screen rotation issue fix

I know this is a bit late (and can't remeber if it has been an issue here), but I just found this out and wanted to share. Another fix for the screen rotating the wrong way on the kaiser when you take out the keyboard (insted of using the 12/23 zImage) is to use 320X480X160 screen resolution. II have no idea why this fixes it, but it does.

We have Android on NAND. So So Fast.

Welll I am excited, I got android on nand using option 2 under the nand post. Using polyrythmic's 2.0.1.

I just followed the instructions but placed the the .nbh with panel 2 and a blank data.img that I created in Ubuntu and the rest of the 3 blank files as per instructions on the nand post, and finally polyrythmics awesome build.

I can't believe how fast it is, even with animations on. Wow. and Wow again.

So wifi and gps do not work. I will be trying to update my libgps file, but have no clue on the wifi file.

Yup,

A kaiser. I assume that the zimage for the suspend does not work, and I cannot update any lib, due to permissions. So, I guess I either start compiling or wait for updates. Can't wait.

please polyrythmic please, we need an update bro,

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
Hi all,

As you can see there has been a lot of progress made in different areas. Unfortunately the Eclair audio drivers for Kaiser/Vogue haven't been finished yet, so normal suspend/sleep and Voice Dial/Search still aren't working. However, camera is very close, GPS is nearly feature-complete, velocity and accuracy and even AGPS seem to be working! The new GPS and camera features require a new kernel, however.

Also, NAND is semi-working. Brightness, WiFi, and some sound features do NOT work on NAND boot yet. I am working on making sure WiFi, Brightness, and Camera all work before I release a flashable build. NAND requires a new kernel as well.

There is a lot to look forward to, but it is also a lot of work compiling all these new features together, so stay tuned. We're very close to running Android natively on Kaiser.

last but certainly not least THANKS to my new donors! I will update the FP ASAP!!

By the way, this has been covered many, many times; so please use the search next time. As for your questions,

#1 use the suspend hack from the 1st post {You need to use zImage6_b}

#2 for now you cannot connect a non-android device running android to the PC and connect via USB. It is just not an option yet (well you can use adb but that is in depth).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Taluven:
Poly,

Just an FYI. I have WiFi Working on Nand just fine, You have to boot the image with HARET First, load the WIFI and make sure you can connect, same with GPS. Then power it off and flash with dzo's nand image. I may have the GPS working on NAND also. Which would only leave the Camera and Bluetooth to go. I get excellent Battery life on mine, but it is only because I have a 2800 ma Battery, Freaking Brick. Running the AT&T Tilt here BTW. I will let you know if I get the GPS to work in NAND. I copied over the 1.5 libgps.so files, just need to get to a location where I can test the GPS, don't get any reception inside of my work here.

To turn off data, you can press and hold the power button. Then a pop up window will come up with one of the options being "Airplane mode". I believe that will turn off data.

Are you using Nand on the Kaiser? Or Haret?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] j101399j:
I have tried this both ways (Method 2 and using kubino99's updated RootFS hack and androidinstall.tar) If I use method 2 with the workaround, battery sucks because I don't have the zImage hack; but data, WiFi and GPS works (well GPS turns on but I don't get a lock; not important). On the other hand, when I use kubino99's method and the workaround, I get WiFi, and kinda GPS, but no Data. So either I get Data and bad battery life, no no Data and great battery life. Anyone else seeing this or have a fix?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Taluven:
I am using the base ion donut build from androidonhtc.com on my tilt and I have Camera, GPS, WIFI, DATA and Phone working fine. All of the files that I used were the most current versions from androidonhtc.com. The only thing I had to do was use ADB and push the libgps.so file from this thread to /lib and /lib/donut on the device after the install. I am also using rootfs-0106b from the android development builds on sourceforge, as the 0107 build has a bug in it that causes problems booting.

I am also using diagdaves nandboot with keyboard type = 1 located here http://www.megaupload.com/?f=04HIVHK7

This has been the most stable build so far that I have managed to put together and it works extremely fast and has full functionlity and good battery life.

I tried a lot of different builds, and this was the only one that I was able to get full functionality out of. Donut seems to have the best compatibility on the tilts. But minor tweaks are required. I had various problems with Eclair builds, as I could get wifi or gps to work from nand, but not both. As soon as I get my development environment up, I am going to start working on building an Eclair build for the HTC (Tilt Specifically) and see where I can go from there. Hopefully can get working on that this weekend if I get some time.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] j101399j:
@aluven; I agree, I have no problems with any of the 1.5 or 1.6 builds (and I have tried about 20+ to see). So far on those everything works great. It is this Eclare build spicifically that I am wanting to use for NAND. Using HaRET, I get the suspend hack and everything else is great. But if I use this with NAND, I either get battery life or no data :(

I am going to try and learn how to create my own nbh files for this and see what happens. All I need to do really is build the hack into an NBH file, use the workaround and method 2 and I should be good to go. If I get it working, I'll post it (but don't hold your breath, this may take me a long time).\

Gonna try to create my own NBH's but wow, that looks way over my head at the moment
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Taluven:
@j101399j:

Yeah, I can get eclair to work with GPS and WIFI just fine from a haret boot, just not after it is booted with nand. Still waiting for camera and audio fixes to be implemented though before I try again. I also believe that the nand image needs to be updated is all, The nand is just the zimage with tinboot added if I gather correctly from all the reading I have been doing.

It is something I want to look into in the future, but no rush on it here yet, but I do like the eclair interface a lot better than Donut, but for now, I have donut running and stable, so I will stick with it until some of the patches come out for eclair. Although I believe they are submitting the audio fixes to the git repository today, so will have to see how that pans out.

One bug I did discover, is that when I slide out the keyboard to type, all goes well, but when I slide the keyboard back in the landscape doesn't switch back to portrait, it flips 180°. It goes back to portrait when I get back to the Home screen.

This is a lot of fun playing with, and it's MUCH faster than the WinMob I'm use to. Excellent work to all involved, outstanding!

More battery issues

Ok, so I am not too sure I understand why this is happening.

All was working well, battery level seemed great, for the most part; changing settings, adding gadgets and so on. My battery level read 80%, then within 5 min, it dropped to 4% and I had to shut down. Rebooted into WinMo and the battery level read 0%. Anyone have any ideas why that might be? WiFi and GPS are both off. Running the suspend_update-9Jan2010(from post 1)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mayad79:
The first few times you must actually reset the battery counter in Android.

So give a little charge, lets 15 min, then boot haret and allow it to shut itself down when the battery meter gets to zero. Android will act a little g=funny with little power, so while letting it die down just keep spare parts open and watch the timer, to make sure that it hasn't frozen on you.

Once it self shuts down, hook up the charger and boot windows, and charge toi 100% in windows, then boot haret.

The logic is that the counter in Android needs to be reset to zero, and when it boots again it will detect the true charge in mV.

Make sure you are using the zimage6b, that needs to be downloaded seperate.

Enjoy,

Mohamed

3g and 2g via haret

Using polyrythmics ecalire 2.0.1. I have tried NAND, but am waiting for more progress. So I am back to the sdcard method.

I have found that those of us that need data to be active for emails etc, and great battery life really need to be able to turn 2g and 3g off and on. The only way I have been able to pull this off is to manually put the phone in 2g whil in windows, then booting haret. Android will now be in edge/2g.

I have got over 24 hours of battery life and no freezing with heavy use.

Also, before booting haret I close everything that is not essential via taskmanager, but I think this may just be a habit, rather than scientific results.
