Fast but and great!

First of all, thanks for all the effort for porting this to the HTC devices! Really I can't do without. Especially this build with the new rootfs is pretty quick, but i still can't get a few thing working. Like the WEP secured networks. I read on GlemSom that someone managed to let WEP work.

And when I go to settings my screen orientation goes to landscape mode while I disabled the screen orientation in the settings menu? Anyone got an idea to fix this because its pretty annoying.

But despite these things Great work!

Hi, I'm digging this current build a lot I just have a question:

How do you re-align the screen? I'm guessing I didn't do it very well in the beginning because it's not very precise, I've been looking in settings for hours and can't find a thing... What do I have to do or delete so that when it starts up it lets me re-align the screen?

i am having a prob with the marketplace when i try to sync my account it gives me an error saying it cant establish a realible data connections to the server, im using wifi and i have it full working.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
1 - delete the ts-calibration file at the root of your SD. Boot back to Android, should go thru calibration again.

2 - I don't know... sorry, I use a CDMA device.

i've resolved deleting data.img and doing the first boot without the sim card in the mobile
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] v3ngence:
Thanks for #1 anyone else having problems with importing contacts just hit the home key and it opens the sub-menu, great start to what I hope becomes a perfect port =)

Phone volume in Android

One question for the developers: will it be possible to make the speaker (headset and rear speaker) louder? It's really quiet (like in WM6.5 without loudness hack applied), and very hard to use on the street.

I tried applying the loudness hack in WM6.5, making a call in WM6.5 (nice and loud), and then booting to Android via Haret, but it didn't make the phone any louder. Seems like the volume hack doesn't carry on from WM6.5 to Android :(

Overclocked to 700 MHZ!

Add that to cmdline

Just updated my 2/24/10 Android build with the newest zimage and module from 1/3/10, things are looking better and better :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] v3ngence:
Any downsides to this? Like shortened component life?

Unrelated question: Is there any wifi router app for Android that let's you become a wifi acess point like wm-wifi-router works for windows mobile?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] DJGonzo:
Can't comment on battery life. Battery life sucks either way so I just stay plugged in with android pretty much.

Maybe a little warmer?

3D performance is better in games. And its actually 691 MHZ... I'm going to push it further. I read somewhere someone got a phone with the same CPU to 720 MHZ

Build from: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=621498 has a WiFi tethering app for Blackstone. Might work for Raphael. Give it a shot and let me know.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] chrialex:
How stable is that with the RAPH800? And how is it with the battery compared to stock?

Nvm, took too long to type that up. :-/
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] deers:
thx, it works now. battery life is better, now i can use android all day :). But when display off the charging light arround action button is always on. I think if this can turn off the battery life can be more longer... any idea....
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] rajeshjha84:
In XDAndroid that light indicates Deep sleep, turning of will not increase battery life as it uses very less power.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] EGOvoruhk:
Does anyone know if any progress is being made to move this to the 2.6.33 kernel?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] deers:
hmm i see, but sometime the light is off when the display off, and then it doesn't want to wake up anymore, so i must soft rest to restart again...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] d1k_is:
Hey guys, love the new build.

Was wondering if there was a way to disable the touchwheel tho?

it seems to be playing up a bit for me
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] stinebd:
No. And there has been no effort yet, either. The kernel code for this project comes from an upstream Android repository at http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/msm.git;a=summary and their latest kernel tree is 2.6.32.

And there has been no effort to forward port htc-linux's 2.6.27 work to that either. This would be far from trivial to do, especially when several things aren't working yet.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] mchuntley:
Love the latest build.

Runs fast and clean, battery life looks good.

I just have one weird problem so far...

I can browse the web on WiFi, but not over the cell data connection.

This is on ATT & a Fuze.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] stamppot:
OK, thanks phhusson! Just wanted to make sure that I'm not chasing ghosts. I'm going to try and have a look at a better battery capacity calibration. The variation in battery level is driving me nuts... :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Tintin69:
Weird...

Hi Everybody !!

First I'd like to greet and thank all the people involved in Android developement on our good ol' HTCs. I'm currently using the latest build and all the latest files (zImage, rootfs, initrd,...) but I have a strange problem, my phone keeps up filling the memory by launching all sort of apps, from market to gallery, so the phone begins to slow down 'til it can't handle more. Do you have the same behaviour on your DIAM100s (yes, I'm running andro on a DIAM100) ? Can somebody help me getting rid of this ?

Thx !!!

Regards !!!

Tintin69
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Razzee:
since when is sound working from start without a call?

just use taskkiller it should be in the topbar from start
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Tintin69:
Thanks for the tip ! I use Taskiller but I have to stop apps all the time, they restart each time I stop them, could it be a problem in the rootfs maybe ? What can I do to definitively prevent them from restarting ?

Thanks again !
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] rvdgeer:
Use a task manager or taskkiller (like TasKiller) to kill running apps...

I believe it is normal behaviour for android to start apps on boot...

[EDIT] Oops, a little late with this... :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
yes it is. Its better to think of some apps as services as they open as soon as you kill them in task manager. So if you want some apps to remain alive then hold down on the app you want and choose ignore, this way the app always stays alive.

My nexus one on bootup pretty much launches every single app i have besides games. If you just regularly kill non used apps then you should have more memory to use. ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] mamuth42:
Hi! My Topaz has strange behavor with calls. When Android is just loaded, I can make calls and recieve calls. But after I switch off diaplay (by pressing "end call" button) my Topaz stops recieve calls and make calls.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] inf3rno1:
Hey Phhuson or Babijoee, is a wifi-tethering app anywhere near the top of yours guys to do list? I appreciate everything you guys do, and it will feel like an early christmas and birthday if you guys got that working on the FUZE. From what I hear TheBrilliantMistake may have it working on the blackstone. I extracted the apk and tried on XDANDROID and it wouldnt start the tethering. Thanks!:D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] ghockx:
In the market you can download apps with notification sounds. Zeitmann for example has created a series of apps named "Notification Sounds ANDROID x". (x is the sequencenumber of the app). These apps contain 10 sounds and allow you to set them as the new ringtone, alarmtone or notification. You will still not be able to select any sound you like, but at least your phone will be audible now.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] chrialex:
I had a problem with no sound files showing up for ringtones/notifications, but refreshed all the files on the card and tried again, and they showed up. That might help (if you hadn't thought of doing that already)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
hmm i think we've tried to get that working for some time but then other development took over it. I wouldn't say at this point its a priority. maybe when we get wifi working better for all devices and working cam and GPS :p
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Broman400:

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] aatreya:
Is there a way to disable the "Waiting for SD card" check? It won't boot on the CDMA RAPH800 due to this.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:

Downloading WiFi build....

Update you soon....
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
okay fixed charging. should work now. uploading soon. Just update rootfs.img and delete data.img.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] aatreya:
I've already read through most of the thread. There has been some significant development on the autobuild service recently; I'm wondering whether we can disable the SD card check to examine whether the kernel will boot on CDMA images as-is. The previous modifications that were necessary to get the kernel to boot on CDMA had to do almost entirely with the SMD device.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
New rootfs.img in first post.

If charging already works for you, then you do not have to update to the new rootfs.img

Remember to overwrite this one with old one and delete data.img. This should allow you to plug in the charger at anytime and be able to charge.

Please post any feedback thanks ;)

Raphael800 can't use，help ple。。。

First,thanks the port provider & TOP GUY:)

Use the first floor's guide,I download the 2.01 ZIP file;

First,I formatted my tfcard 1G with FAT32. put all unzipped files to the card;

Then, I do this two way:(Compare situation with ① & ②)

①ONLY REPLACE START.TXT WITH RAPH800...

In WinCE,Start...The CMD interface tell me: resart in 7 second,I never see the 2.01 USER-interface:(

②REPALCE START.TXT & zImage & ROOTfs with RAPH800(Download From UTB 12-19 EDITION)

OMG! The CMD tells me: "REGISTER_APP Failed"

But, When I Wait 10 Second , I SAW X animation, and before 50-60 second ,The Android User-interface Coming...

Another "OMG!",Antroid tells me :"Progress is not Responding....Force or Wait?"

FROZEN HERE , NEVER saw Mainmenu...

Anyone Can tells me WHY?

Thanks anyway....

Hello!

Thank you very much @all for these great builds. Since I discoverred the donut port, I am nearly trying every released - and since 24th also eclair. Really great! Good job!!!!!!!

I only have one question I couldn't find any answer usind the search.

I own a DIAM200 (a T-Mobile germany mda compact 4), which has "inverted" rows of hardware buttons, comapred to DIAM100 and other DIAM models.

This Home and Call are flipped and Back and Stop Call are flipped.

The buttons work properly, if I remember to swich the printed layout in my head. Except that the light shows up the correct function. Hard. to explain as non native speaker.

If I tocuh the upper left button, the lower left glows and the buttons has the function of the lower left and voce versa

If I touch the upper right one, the lower right one glows and the upper right one has the function of the lower right one and vice versa.

Is there any way to "swich" this behavor to the normal key mapping, thus flip the button order to "normal" as it is default unter Windows, no matter which ROM I am using there?

Apparently these Android builds (donut & eclair or maybe even the kernel) to not use keycodes, but a more "lower" level to recognise the button presses, but uses keycodes upon touch? Any kernel parameter to remap them?

Apart from that, the rest is identical to DIAM100 phones and I am impressed how smoth android is running so far, despite the not yet fully supported hardware.

Keep up the good job!

best,

Sunnnny

DIAM 100

hi all,

i just tried this build on my diam100. overall it is good. loading is a bit long. wifi works, sms works, charging works (need to plug in usb before loading haret), market works :) (just downloaded dolphin browser). havent had time to test bluetooth. very2 much wonderful work by phhusson, babijoee and others!

@Tintin69

edit the file eclair.user.conf in the folder conf on your internal storage.

Change cc_disksize=100 to cc_disksize=20

@babijoee

This is a real issue for DIAM100 users. It seems like android sees the swap file as extra physical memory and loads commonly used applications in the background for faster access. This means that the memory fills up and you end up using the swap file as physical memory whenever you do something on the phone, with very, very bad results for performance.

Maybe this parameter could be set somehow from the startup.txt so that it can vary for different phones. It could at least be mentioned on the first pages of the thread.

Maybe it is a bug and android should know the difference between swap and physical memory. It does seem to only be DIAM100 users reporting the issue.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
thx for the info. i'll add a new startup for diam :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] rs19078:

Is this setting something that does not relate to Raph users ? ;)

/Andro
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] omnicronx:
Its not just DIAM100 users, chances are its just because you guys have the least amount of RAM so its most noticeable. On my DIAM500, setting cc_disksize=30 (Just doing the ram diff ration between the diam100 and 500) vastly speeds up android for me, and I no longer get those out of memory exceptions on startup forcing me to close an app. I've also been experimenting with linux swap and back_swapping and so far linux swap seems to speed up my device a bit too..
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] blazzr:
About the touchy touch panel :)

One thing that works is cleaning the panel (cloth+alcohol or lcd cleaner) if you have problems (not detecting button-presses correctly).

However, it may be just a calibration issue: when my (Touch Pro) touch panel goes crazy (some buttons stay lit or flicker on/off, doesn't detect my finger position correctly...), I can make it work again just by running my finger over all the buttons (lightly, not pressing. for example in a circle) - after that the touch panel responds correctly again :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] mchuntley:
Well, I swapped in the new rootfs, and the data connection worked for a while. then stopped!?

Interesting.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] DarkyDan:
I did have an issue with the last build where downloads in the market just sat there doing nothing.. I assume the march 1 update was to fix this issue..

However after testing the latest build I find that I no longer have a data connection.. the market refuses to connect.

I saw a post from another user suggesting renaming data.img so it builds a new one and something about trying to boot up without a simcard but that did not fix the issue.

Any ideas?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] inf3rno1:
Dearest Dan of the Dark,

The eclair project is always evolving so the tutorials are needing to be updated to reflect this change.

1. Download the latest 2.0 build from http://htcandroid.xland.cz/ And copy all the contents to your /sd card or phone.

2. Download the latest rootfs from the autobuild website at http://xdandroid.southcape.org/rootfs/ and replace it with the one in the root of your android folder.

3. Download the latest kernel images from Glemsoms autobuild at http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android/ and replace the zImage (accurately point to the new one in the startup.txt) and the modules in your root android folder.

4. Download the newest initramfs from the autobuild service at http://xdandroid.southcape.org/initramfs/ and replace it with the initrd.gz file in your root android directory.

After doing this you may also want to delete your data.img file (Warning: this is equivalent to a hard reset) or ts.calibration file, and reboot and you will have a fresh, bleeding edge, brand new android install.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] inf3rno1:
I currently find the speed of my device to be perfectly fine for daily use, and wouldnt mind even underclocking the device a little bit to preserve battery life. What is the stock khz? If the stock processor is running at 528mhz iirc what khz would be 450mhz or 400mhz or maybe even 350mhz? I'm sure some would be interested, but cpu scaling and underthrottling may already be happening and I could be talking out of my ass.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] ptesmoke:
528mhz is 528000khz, or .528 ghz. every level of frequency is 1000 apart, wether you move up or down a measured level its basically adding or subtracting three zeros. starting from hz, Khz, Mhz, Ghz, and so on and so on.

ie 1000hz = 1khz, 1000khz = 1Mhz, 1000Mhz = 1 Ghz.

honestly if i ever overclocked id maybe go to 600Mhz or maybe 650Mhz, depending how stable it is, but overclocking a ppc isnt always a good idea, higher clock = more power = more heat = more prone to failure. in the pc world its easy as we can provide extra cooling to compensate. not so much in the ppc scheme of things. IMO i would stay at stock speed as thats what the device was designed to cool for. hope this clears up some of your questions. cheers!

RingDroid solves NO Tones problems

Thanx for the tip.

Of some reason I can't use Market and haven't search the solution yet. Therefor I could not get to you suggetion.

But I search some more and found RingDroid. Here you can use you own tones.

It works like a charme.

:-)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] inf3rno1:
Thanks Ptesmoke! so adding

acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=428000

to my conf should effectively underclock the phone to 428mhz.. Im going to start testing and see how well battery life responds..

In my roomates G1 thats rooted and rom'd, I'm pretty sure his cpu mhz scales according to use or need, is this feature available or will it be available in the future? This would work alot better then underclocking the cpu to 428mhz as you could probably see
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] stinebd:
This is the default behavior, and has been for quite some time.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] inf3rno1:
So by others suggesting adding that code to their startup.txt, what it effectively was doing was turning off android natural cpu cycling, and locked the processor onto whichever mhz they added to their starup.txt?

Because if this is true then my own personal theory of underclocking to 400mhz or 450mhz would actually be using more power than if I left that code out of my startup and let android control my cpu cycles...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] stinebd:
The oc_freq_khz switch sets the upper bound on the CPU's clock. It will still be able to scale down to lower frequencies (ie 128MHz).

As far as power usage goes, I'd have to check with phhusson to be sure, but I believe the CPU is running at the same voltage so power usage shouldn't be significantly different, it's just a matter of how far you can go before instability.
