Still no wifi.

Well, I tried uncommenting the lines in rootfs/init.cfg/init.eclair.kaiser.rc that contained "wifi". It was 3 lines together and then 1 line later in the file. It didn't seem to help. Wifi will turn on, but it is "Unable to scan for networks", and then turns wifi back off.

mkdir /data/misc/wifi 0770 wifi wifi

chmod 0770 /data/misc/wifi

chmod 0660 /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

setprop net.tcp.buffersize.wifi 4095,87380,110208,4096,16384,110208

I still get random Force Close popups as I use the phone. But the power certainly is much better. I browsed the internet on 3G for 30 minutes or so, wandered around from tower to tower for another hour. My 2 year old battery still had 90% which is as good or better than WinMo.

I guess my next move is to get ADB working so I can see the debug output. I've tried a couple of times, but my Win7 is balky. Maybe I should try it under my Ubuntu VirtualBox?

Hi, i am running Eclair on my Kaiser. I cant get any Data Connection to work. Iam using a German Vodafone Card. I have set ppp.username and password to vodafone, none and left blank. Nothing works. Is there any known Problem?

I am using basefiles from 16.11.2009 and Aclair 2.0.1v2 syste.sqsh.

This is my default.txt:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] j101399j:
I'm in the US, but I thinkk you also set your username and password:

Vodafone

APN: web.vodafone.de

user: vodafone

password: vodafone

set cmdline "board-htckaiser.panel_type=2 ppp.nostart=0 pm.sleep_mode=0 ppp.apn=web.vodafone.de ppp.username=[B]vodafone[/B] ppp.password=[B]vodafone[/B] mddi.width=240 mddi.height=320 lcd.density=120 no_console_suspend clock-7x00.mddi=0xa51 clock-7x00.ahb_div=2 clock-7x00.slow=1 clock-7x00.voltage=1 board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt=0"

You could leave them blank and enter the apn manually. Also it can take a few minutes to get going; sometimes I even have to open modem and disable then enable data; try that

can anyone tell me where do I get the HaRET.exe file? and the initrd.gz file?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] anand2010:
You should look in www.androidonhtc.com for both those files. They are also posted in couple of posts in this long thread as well.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] roos_t:
So I managed to find HaRET.exe... and put all the necessary files (haret, initrd, rootfs, system, startup, zImage) in side the Storage card/

but when I click run HaRET.exe from the phone, a message pops up saying

"Failed to load file \Storage Card\zImage-15-12-09"

should I change the name of zImage file to that?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] j101399j:
No; if you change the name of zImage on your phone it can mess with the file (My phone add an extension to the file, and since it does not have an extension, that is an issue); edit your startup.txt to say zImage and not zImage-15-12-09
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] roos_t:
cheers :) changed it... Linux loaded...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Pandemic187:
It's not too snappy when I get a call. I don't think it's because the sleep is "a little too deep" though. It's probably just not quite waking the phone up the way it should.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] roos_t:
hmm... the colors seem to be screwed up... very low resolution :-/ is there a solution for that?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] j101399j:
In your startup.txt file, what is the screen resolution and LCD density? Also can you send a screenshot?

Here is how:

http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] roos_t:
I used the startup.txt attached in the first post... according to it

"mddi.width=240 mddi.height=320 lcd.density=120"

...will try to take a screenshot now...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] j101399j:
This will make everything smaller and some say not as smooth (I disagree), but try

mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 lcd.density=160

ALso make sure you have the setting

board-htckaiser.panel_type=2
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Pandemic187:
Not quite. Really, it's smoother - but many will say that to the point of being too smooth - in other words, just plain blurry. I used 320x480 for quite a while, thought it was fine, and thought everything looked to large on 240x320. My lcd.density was 120 though, just like yours is currently set to. If you make it 110, things will look right.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] roos_t:
strangely, the screenshots are normal - the images are fine... but in reality it's a little pixelated and not smooth image at all.

I tried your suggestion and changed

mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 lcd.density=160

but it made it worse :)

any other solutions?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Pandemic187:
My post above was directed toward you as well. Try:

mddi.width=240 mddi.height=320 lcd.density=110

That's what I use.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] roos_t:
I changed the values to the ones you suggested... and, guess what?... it made it even worse :( colors are all messed up and edgy...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
Most all of the questions about necessary files, screen resolution, data & apn, and what is or isn't working can be answered by reading the FAQ linked in the first post, and make sure to read this thread! The answers are already out there.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] loserskater:
Does anybody else have the problem with no ringtones? I think it's an SD-card-not-mounting-properly issue so I built a new system with the media folder included to get around this. I can upload it if anybody would like.

EDIT: Its in my 4shared if anybody wants it
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] :
The weird things that I'm seeing right now, are:

1.- When you go landscape in "home", every icon disapears. And they won't come back D:! Reboot needed.

2.- Each media program recognizes the same music (du'h) the thing is, that it's like 10% of my music. The only way to play them all, is by adding them one by one (4gb of music...) and just then the system remember these files.

But there's no scan for new media or something.

Screenshots later
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] anand2010:
Couple of things I noticed --

Firmware version - 2.1

Model Number - Tmobile G1

Isn't that supposed to be Firmware 2.0.1 and Model Number - Kaiser or TyTnII or something like that?

Anyway, I could not find sipdroid in the market place. I tried installing the 1.2.4 apk file from www.sipdroid.org and the installer says "Application failed to install".

I'm thinking sipdroid does not work with 2.0.x/2.1 android release?

Thanks for all the good work and giving a new life to my abandoned at & t tytnII phone. It's beautiful now and look forward to more updates :) This just keeps getting better!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] anand2010:
sipdroid has been working on android 2.0.1 for a lot of people from their issues list. perhaps it does not work for 2.1 since i get "application not installed" message.

Can anyone confirm,

[1] sipdroid is not available in market place with this build

[2] if you manually download the apk file and try to install it, it fails

I appreciate the input. Thanks in advance!

anand
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Pandemic187:
Sipdroid appears just fine for me. Remember, some apps don't appear while using 240x320. However, I found that it shows up with both 320x480 as well as 240x320 for me.

The firmware version is 2.1 due to something about compatibility with apps. I don't how an in-depth understanding but I believe that's the reason. It doesn't say "Tilt" or "Kaiser" under model because this ROM was originally G1 ROM, so I'm assuming the model is built into the ROM and isn't automatically detected.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Borkata81:
I tried to make research myself, what is the reason of wifi not working and I found that:

1) wlan.ko wasn't existing at all in system image

2) the files tiwlan.ini and wlan_loader was with different checksum from the one enatefox has in rootfs and seems to always work.

I tried to modify myself the image and updated the wrong files and addedd wlan.ko to lib/modules/ where is it's place. I also uncommented the four lines about wifi in init.rd, but the final result was that I had a system image which loaded Nexus One boot screen, but never loaded the system. I have tried both with squashfs and craftfs images and none of them worked.

Any hint would be appreciated.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Newbie16:
The wlan.ko is in the rootfs, init.etc/wifi/wlan.ko
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
Newbie16, I don't think it's just your kernel, I had some WiFi problems with enatefox's rootfs.

Borkata81, if you want proper root, use enatefox's rootfs. If you want working WiFi, use my rootfs. When I'm back from holiday I'll merge the two so we can have both.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Newbie16:
Update: zImage04, i've tested it against the wlan.ko in enatefox's rootfs and it worked perfectly. I got rid of the battery messages, those messages keep filling up dmesg, which made it harder to debug stuff.

Leaving wifi on will stop it suspending, so turn it off when you aren't using it

Just a suggestion guys:

Please one of you experts can make a Tutorial to format microsdhc card.

I try using the paragorn partition manager to create 2 more ext2 partition in my 8gb but my device dont recognize my microsd card.

It shows a popup that says "You need to format this sd card to use it" or something like that, well I put yes and my 2 others partition disappear.

Doing this my WinMo recognize my sdcard but my 2 ext2 partitions dissapears and now when I try to run again the android tells "cant mount sd card", and the write/read speed in WinMo decrease.

Before to try to format my sd card works well with android without any problem.

Im going to try again, I hope dont "brick" my microsd card.

Please help-

Edit:

I try again win Partition manager, now i have a first fat32 paertition and other 2 ext32 partitions, now my kaiser recognize my fat32 partiton but when i try to run haret.exe the boot stuck in this place:

Running an fsck on the SD Card

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] poly_poly-man:
hmm, yeah, a nice instruction list would be nice - I tried unpacking everything in a manner similar to older builds, but it appears not to work... the error about system.img not existing (even though system.sqsh is right there - same problem renaming it).

However, nobody seems to have told me that we actually need ext2 partitions now... how many and what size? do we also have to unpack anything to them?

putting this information in a single place (even the first post of this thread) would be helpful to avoid confusion in people like me :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Borkata81:
To install android on partition all you need is:

1) Two partitions - 1st should be fat32 and second ext2

2) Copy system.sqsh or system.img on root folder of fat32 partition

3) Copy rootfs.img, initrd.gz, haret.exe, zImage and default.txt (startup.txt) also in root of the fat32

4) When you first boot linux there is a moment when it waits to press Volume Down button if you want it to be installed on your second partition. Just press and it should be ok.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] paolofat:
"Volume Down button" ????
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
@ryomahino, poly_poly-man: If you use the files from the first post, it will work just fine without partitions. Newbie16's suspend-hacked zImages were causing trouble with .sqsh files, we're working out those bugs, but the zImage in the first post works other than not suspending.

The files are now designed to be put in /android/ folder of your SD root, to keep things more organized. However, many users ignore this and put everything in the SD root anyway.

This (unstable, beta) build has become much more popular than I expected, I'll add some more instructions with the next build since it will be stable enough for daily use. FYI, partitioning the SD card is difficult, I had to personally reformat and re-partition my SD card 8 times before it was readable by my device -- and I've been partitioning drives for decades. There's no perfect tutorial to force it to work. (The reason is because Windows and Linux, and each Partition manager is different when creating & reading FAT partitions and the overall partition table. They should all work the same, but they don't.)

@paolofat: Volume Down is Left Soft Key. I'm going to update init in the next build to mention that.

Internal Flash?

I know we are unable to flash the kasier with android but can the system files be stored on internal memory as a pose to SD card. I have formatted my card to Fat,2x ext2 and 1-swap but i thought it would run faster and require less battery power if run from internal storage?

No doubt this has been asked before but couldnt find anything in search.

Thanks David
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
Internal storage is awfully small for Android. Vogue and even G1 users use apps2sd to put a large amount of data & apps on the SD card. Since the SD card is required, any speed improvements would be negligible. Battery power shouldn't be an issue with the next build anyway.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] diagdave:

most system files are <50mb and i would have fought flash storage be alot faster then SD, but oh well. Any news on if we could add international goggle maps (navigation) to the build? Also anyway we can help with development?

A few people are working on this exact issue and it seems to be phone related, some have it some don't. For me, it's not working. I just went back using the original system.img file and used the original rootfs.img with all 5 zImage files, then the enatefox's rootfs file and all 5 zImages; and 10 more times with the system.ext2 file; same result on all 20 runs. Additionally something else wierd, I just tried my old TMO-Donut build and it also gives me the same error; wierd. I'm gonna try a fgew other things and will post (To be honest, I can't remember if Wifi worked for me; however from my screenshots it did; again wierd)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Borkata81:
It is not about putting files in android folder, but using the correct rootfs.img. The one that enatefox has posted and has some improvements about permissions and others is causing wifi not to work, but if you use the rootfs from first post you will have wifi.

vogue doesn't use apps to sd. we have about 218mb to work with 90 for a system partition and 128 for the data partition. both are on nand. we can run any build fully from nand with the sdcard removed and cache mounted on the data partition. some large builds like senseHero need to have the /system/app directory symlinked to /data/app_s so i guess you could call it apps2data. and yes nand is faster. i first ran this build from nand. also it shouldn't be that hard to port over dzo's code or start a bounty and maybe he'll make one for you.

Make sure to rename or move all your old files from the sdcard root.

Also I can't remeber what it is called (vcard or something), but it will backup your contacts to a file on your sdcard.
