OK thanks guys I had a feeling that might be the case. I'll definitely be experimenting with this after the weekend. Can't wait =D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Polarfuchs:
What is that dmesg file in andboot folder on SDcard?

It gets created after the first run of HaRet
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aikeru:
Can't instruct radio on network type

Poly,

As always a fantastic build but I notice that I still can't instruct the radio to use GSM only from the INFO screen and "Use 2G Only" doesn't stay checked.

Any idea if/when this can be fixed so us "non 3g" users can get on NAND? :)

EDIT: Also, I've recently learned how to create logs, if you would like some please let me know but I don't know if they will help
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
The dmesg file is the output of the kernel message buffer, you can also see it if you open a console and type 'dmesg' or if you wish 'dmesg -c' which displays the kernel message buffer, then clears it, which can be invaluable if you are having issues with a kernel module.

Normally you only get kernel messages when the kernel is booting, but you may also get them when inserting any device which needs a module which has not yet been loaded.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Polarfuchs:
OK, can someone please look at my dmesg file to get a hint why I can't boot and get the "msm-i2c: error waiting for not busy"?

PS: I did add the .txt extension to the dmesg file so I can upload it as an attachment.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Ruz:
Disabling sdcard notifications works a treat, thanks. I think I'll try running on SDCard a bit longer before deciding if I want to go the whole hog and run from Nand. That might also leave some time for some of the remaining gotchas to be fixed ;)

Cheers

Ruz

I'm assuming your actually using a Polaris?

I also assume your running from SD, which might point to a problem with your default.txt, not sure since I'm not familiar with the polaris setup for booting from Haret.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] RuuddieBoy:
Cool, that was easy. Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Polarfuchs:
Yeah I'm running a Polaris Pola100 Paneltype=1 from a SD Card with a 7GB Fat32 partition and two ext2 partitions with each 270mb.

And the default.txt contents are also in that dmesg on line 17 I think.

But I can put my default.txt to the attachments.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Actually your default.txt looks fine, so I had another look at the dmesg and compared it to my own, most of it is pretty much the same as my own, however I do think a clue might me in these lines:

[ 0.709441] msm_i2c_probe
[ 0.709610] msm_i2c_probe: clk_ctl 35d, 100000 Hz
[ 0.710873] msm_i2c_interrupt: IRQ but nothing to do!

That seems to be where the msm_i2c problem may be.

At this point it may be an idea to partition the SD back to one FAT32 partition, reformat and try that, since i'm not certain exactly what the msm_i2c problem is exactly.

That should at least remove as many potential problems as possible.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] reiteravi:
Thanks again for great work

a nice surprise is the built in bidi and fonts (hebrew & arabic)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] xxaznxx27:
hm. I have a kais100 model and I used the panel typ2 and it seems to be working well. The wifi problem and marketplace problem seems like a common issue, but is anyone else having battery problems? mine drained within a few hours?! odd.. :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Polarfuchs:
OK, then I make one single Fat32 partition on my SD Card.

But then, where are my Data and System partition? Are they folders inside fat32?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] YevgenyEfter:
I'm sorry for asking again, I just wanted to know if the cpu is overclocked in this build?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] frinkazoid:
Wifi troubles solved by making your kaiser into an oven ;)

I've used the tiwlan file from this androidupdate file for 3 build now , wlan is real stable but my phone runs kinda hot when wifi is turned on. This will have it's effect on battery life, but it seems not to hurt the hardware. click the View Post arrow next to polly's name in the last post since i'm not allowed to post links yet.

Also ; is there anyway we can dynamically re-load this file ? if so I'd be pleased to play with the values in there, but rebooting after each change is not doable because i run android using haret so that means restarting WinMo and android ...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
They are installed as image files on the SD card.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Dukenukemx:
When I installed the new 2.1g, I didn't set it to zImage-eclair. Though, had nothing wrong with Android, and even Kwaak3 worked. Without sound of course.

Then I reinstalled with zImage-eclair, and now kwaak3 doesn't work, and wifi is erratic and slow. For some reason, the Market Place is extremely slow with zImage-eclair.

Gonna restart and see if things work better.

**EDIT**

Restarted and everything seems to work fine now. When in doubt, do a restart.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] holmebrian:
im having bigger problems than that that is not fixing my problem

i tried using that fix and it didnt help

i have radio 1.71.09.01

im not even getting an edge data signal

i am using the sdcard boot method

and my phone gets a good 3g signal when i am in just the windows mobile side 3or4 bars

so please help me here exact model of phone is AT&T Tilt HTC 8925

Thanks,

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jrisko:
Very nice!

I've been playing with this 2.1g build and it's very smooth and snappy - great job with this one so far POLY! It's usable as my primary phone. Love it! :)

Battery drains a bit fast though - checking to see how quickly...

I also noticed that any image select operations don't bring up the images in the thumbnails. Anyone else have this issue? Try to change your wallpaper and use the "Pictures" option or add an image to a phone contact - the images show as thumbnail-sized gray squares - select one of the squares and then you can see what it actually is... I'd hate to put a pic of the family pooch where my wife's pic should be... :eek:

BTW.. I'm using the SD Card with FAT32 option on an ATT Tilt...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Polarfuchs:
Hm, I made one single big Fat32 partition on the SD Card. But I got the same msm_i2C:error waiting for notbusy. I'll check the dmesg now. and post it then.

IM program

Hello All,

I was wondering where I can find the IM program that comes with Android? Also does this work for GSM services yet?

Keep up the great work!

Sincerely,

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Polarfuchs:
Hm, I looked at it and it is pretty exactly the same as with 2 ext2 partitions.

see the attachment
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Dukenukemx:
Does anyone know if the GPS works? I'm running GPSTest, and it sees Satellites, but it's not locking into any of them.

I don't have 1.71.09.01 radio rom, would that cause a problem with the GPS?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Ok, at least that rules out any possible problems with the ext2 partitions, I'm wondering if you have tried another zImage, in case it's a kernel problem, if it was working fine previously then the only thing I can think of is a kernel update perhaps having a bug that only shows on polaris?

If you have updated your kernel, then you might try getting the last known good kernel.

Been looking around for clues on msm_i2c and from what I have found it's been an issue even on native android devices, and 'may' be related to the lcd panel, not sure if panel type is an issue with polaris, but it's another avenue to explore.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
That may be a factor, it's best to upgrade your radio to 1.71.09.01, go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=393182 and get the upgrade, it's easy enough to flash, and does not affect anything else, not sure if you need HardSPL and unlock to do this since it's a kaiser radio anyway ;)

Has anyone else had trouble with the lag of the android dialer. Luckily its not my primary OS, but if it's going to be the dialer should be more snappy. Just checking if it's just me or not. would be nice to have that fixed if it is a known problem. After all, this is a phone. Thanks in advance to anyone who helps. Very special thank you to polyrythmic, without you we may not have a stable android OS.

For Vogue do we have to switch it to .tar or does .tgz work?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
Experience so far!!

Right, i installed this morning on EXT2 partitions on my SD Card and so far i am extremely impressed. I haven't done a really thorough test but so far it seems very snappy compared to the last build, apps start promptly and it feels responsive enough to use everyday. The dialer is snappy until you make a call and it takes a while to switch from the dialer to the in call screen. Receiving messages is instant now which is a good fix and receiving/making calls is much more responsive (in the last build some calls didn't come through!) WIFI is still not working well for me, i had it working in the last build but i can't get anything past a connection to my router now which is a shame. Other then that there are obviously a few bugs like thumbnails not loading in the gallery application etc.. but this is a good jump forward, the new dark theme is nice too!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Lokioki:

Display issue

Hi all,

I really like the Enclair build, I've already donated. Great work!

There's just one problem I still have: something is wrong with my display, it shows white stripes all the time. I have read the FAQ but couldn't find the solution.

# ppp.nostart	- Set ppp.nostart=1 to disable starting the ppp connection on boot
# msm_sdcc.msmsdcc_fmax - The maximum frequency (in Hz) used by the SD controller

hi, i have exactely the same pb as yours.

with a successful install, everything works well, wifi, 3G, google map, radio.. and the best is it runs pretty faster than 2.1b in my kaiser, so nice!! but sinci i turn off wifi to try TV on 3g, i cant turn it on again (btw: TV does work excepte there is no image....well, i think it is a pb of app, no discussible here), SO i powered down....and then crap...then it shows "android_power; wakeup"

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Looks like you have no panel type set, try adding board-htckaiser.panel_type=1 to the default.txt file and try again. If that does not work try changing the panel_type to 2, try that, then finally try 3.

DAMN FAST!

All I can say is WOW! To be honest, I had almost written this off, as (for me) it was way slower than another warm build with a hole in it (if you know what I mean).

BUT - just installed this, and so far (following instructions on first post) - installed to partitioned SD card, this thing absolutely SCREAMS. As of right now for me, this build appears significantly more responsive than that other (1.6-based) unnamed build I have been running. I did enable compcache (32 MB) which seemed to push it over the edge as far as speed . . .

You almost make me wish I hadn't broken down and ordered a Droid last night . . .
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] robuser007:

How to save those settings with nano (no control button?)?

my wifi settings

Because of excellent results I get with some wifi settings in Donut builds, I tried the same settings on Kaiserdroid:

I changed in /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini

Code:

dot11Powermode = 1 # 1 - Active

defaultPowerLevel = 1 # 1 - PD

PowerSavePowerLevel = 1 # 1 - PD

I can only say that my wifi connection with kaiserdroid has never been working so well. I never get any network error connection anymore, gtalk, market, browser etc.

AP is situated in another room on the ground floor, 15 meters away from me at the 1st flour.

It makes no difference if any other wifi traffic is going.

I get with xtremelabs speedtest:

4200 kbit/s down

360 kbit/sec up

I'm not sure how and if this effects the battery life, but it doesn't look bad, so it might be worth to give it a try yourself!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Polarfuchs:
I did try out Sd method with ext2 partitions and with fat32 only.

I did try zImage-eclair and zImage from 20.02.2010.

And every time I get the msm-I2C error waiting for notbusy I can't get to the installer like that.

Default.txt should be right. Till now I didn't get an android build to run in my polaris. (but sometimes I did have had luck and could boot up. but not any more now)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
@YevgenyEfter: Yes, Android has proper hardware OpenGL support for Kaiser, it does not have the graphics problems like Windows Mobile. No, this build is not overclocked.

@mnjm9b: I bet it's the SDcard. The SD cards cause me a lot of headaches. My 8GB refuses to partition correctly right now so I'm running my old 2GB.

@a.s.j, @aikeru: Those are issues with the RIL code. I have no experience with it, but if I get some extra time maybe I'll look into it. The RIL is being updated soon with fixes for NetworkLocation, so I'll ask the devs.

@xxaznxx27: My 3 year old original 1350mAh battery can last for 24+ hours with this build. It sounds like you have a program or setting that keeps it from sleeping. You can check what's keeping it awake by running these commands in terminal: dumpsys power and cat /proc/wakelocks

@frinkazoid & others with wifi issues: I'll have androidupdate.tgz's released for different WiFi settings soon, you can always deflate & untar the .tgz and push the files over while it's running. Maybe one of these days I'll write a script/app for it.

@jrisko: See above @xxaznxx27 to find out what's draining your battery. Also check your battery usage by type and by app in Spare Parts.

@spiritssight: Which IM program? My provider doesn't use GSM services, so I have no idea. Let me know if you try it!

@windowsxpmacosx: My dialer is 'snappy', what is your setup? NAND is very fast.

@Barogi44: Don't switch it to .tar, it won't work. .tgz should work for all devices, the installer code is the same.

@the-nj: Search this thread, you should find a couple solutions to that problem.

@robuser007: I find that CC and swap make this build slower, but you can enable it if you want -- everyone has different preferences and app use. Search this thread for 'userinit.conf' . Also, Ctrl button is 'OK' -- you can find more buttons if you search :) You will get somewhat worse battery life with those settings but use whatever works best for you!

@Polarfuchs: Sorry, Linux just doesn't want to run on some devices.

Really glad so many of you are enjoying this build! I think it's definitely an improvement over previous versions. I also see that Gallery thumbnails aren't working, previously it was a OpenGL-related issue that was easily fixable -- OpenEclair code is being updated, it should get fixed very soon.

Actually I was precustomising a few things and did just that, extracted the tar file, injected another bootanimation, edited twilan.ini, and reinstalled using the tar, which worked.
