[edit] better explaination

The key is not which default.txt file you use or what the name is. It is which zImage the default.txt or startup.txt points to. So you can name either of the files anything you want, type that in he HaRET start box and it will work.

What I do is

Change the normal default.txt to startup-base.txt and rename the default-gps.txt to startup.txt and it will load the GPS add. Then when I need the installer, I change the startup.txt to startup-gps.txt and change the startup-base.txt back to startup.txt
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Gribin:
I did to change the default-gps.txt to default.txt, and it works ok
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] robuser007:
I just installed sygic drive 7.71 (gps program) using android on an fat32 partition.

It works and has gps fix.

(but I think I installed the wrong vga version, not the qvga version, things weren't very charp)

I still have sometimes erorrs, will there ever be one build without errors or is this impossible to do bye only a few developpers?

When I use the command top I see a lot of idle, but when using uptime the load is always very high.

I've already ordered an 16GB class 2 microSD card for more dual booting in the future.

Dear polyrhythmic,

It's really a great rom ever I have been tried.

I really hope you can fixed the gps and 3d for Polaris, when I tried to load with default-gps for Polaris, it must take long time to load and appear a pop up to let me choose "Force close" or "wait" the program.

Please take care polaris user and let us can share your greate rom.

Thanks so much

Its still kinda slow, but I can get used to that. The only thing is that my device wont wake up after I get an Text Message. Any Help?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] :
Hi there,

Forgive me if I'm posting this in the wrong thread. If so, please let me know where to post the following:

I've been looking in several post and other boards for the answer to my question concerning the installation and usage of the polymod 2.1. alpha 3. Until now I didn't find the answer.

When Android loads (using the default-gps wich uses the 3d kernel) it all seems to work well but when I start the browser, a white screen appears and then dissappears within 5 seconds. When I want to start the settings application i get the "Sorry! The Settings application stopped working. Please try again." Message. I get this message a lot when starting several applications or panels.

My specs:

* Dutch T-Mobile MDA Vario III (Kaiser)

* Custom 6.5 rom (WWE)

* Radio 1.71.09.01.

* 4GB class 6 Transcend MicroSD HC (1 FAT32 partition)

What I did thusfar:

> I downloaded the Polymod 2.1 alpha 3 package.

> I cleared the microSD completely

> Checked the default.txt and default-gps.txt for the appropriate configuration. Found nothing 'weird' and thus did not change other settings.

> Copied the complete 'andboot' folder to the MicroSD trough the Activesync connection

> Booted default.txt with Haret

> Pressed the camera-button al the way during Linux boot

> Chose 'install' in the boot-menu

> Installation completed succesfully (got back to the installation menu)

> Quit

> Phone booted to Android

> Used some apps.

> Booted back into WinMo

> Booted Android using the default-gps.txt

Am I missing something during the installation or configuration? What can cause the (annoying) 'Sorry! Application Settings (in com.android.settings) stopped working' messages, which don't allow me the to configure things in Android. The rest of the systems seems to run fine, and with a good speed.

hi all

a few more things i have noticed in the past couple of days.

- wifi keeps disconnecting ( doesnt work for market )

- the gsm network keeps disappearing after some time of inactivity

- when i press and hold the power button, the background gets distorted as them menu comes up

- cell tower location doesnt work ( i think i mentioned this earlier )

gonna try to put it on ext2 in a while and see if that makes a differnce in speed

again great work poly

polymod 2.1 alpha 3 Update --- Cell Tower Loc not working

Hello, The build seems very solid...however, the first post states that network/cell location is working but with my phone it is NOT working.

Thoughts?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aaraya1516:
problem

I have followed all directions and I have not modified the default.txt. When I load it gets to the start screen where you press on the android to setup the phone, but will not move forward once clicked. I don't have any partitions on my sd, it's all fat32. could this be the problem?

Port Camera from 1.6 to eclair

Guys, i've the Kaiser running with 1.6 and camera works perfect (at least to take photos and with manual focus using the volume weel) Isn't portable to this 2.1? Isn't just copy few .o libraries? Can anybody try? :)))

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] j101399j:
I am not sure what the error means, but you did everything correctly. If you did not, android would not have started. One itea, since the meda scanner is running (which takes a lot of memeory to run) it could be the combo of that, the Open GL and GPS drivers all taking too much memory. Try killing the media server and see if it fixes it. Otherwise you could always use the noraml default.txt and normal zImage

I get the same thing. GPS off WiFi off and I with keeping the phone on, away and plugged in; all while driving around LA for 2 hours, I was never able to get a decent lock, I think it said your position within 7,000 meters or something that high
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] vexersa:
I am a little confused. The build seems to be working well.

However, within the setup folder the README speaks about running the hacked suspend .txt to get sleep working.

Yet in the first post it is said that sleep is working without the hack?

Which one is correct?

Great work!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Tomsen:
Hi

I'm very pleased that you got sleep working. It's running longer than ever before.

But, i'm having trouble with it being very slow for me, i've killed the mediaserver, which didn't help. I then tried logcat and it keep writing the follow two lines:

E/copybit ( 1493): copyBits failed (invalid argument)
E/libagl1 ( 1493): copyBit failed(unknown error -22)

It never stops writing these lines, so i'm guessing that this is the cause.

Once in a while its so slow, that the person calling me will get my voicemail, even before my phone brings up the calling screen.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] plutarcian:
agreed on the slowness thing. im facing the same problem. however i m now running on ext2 and i dare say it seems a little bit faster. atleast i can answer an incoming call if im quick as by the time the phone starts ringing the caller is just about giving up. too early to tell though. have to load up the phone to be completely accurate.

i hope this build gets more optimized and will be a lot faster on nand. may i say the battery is almost as good as , if not better than, winmo :D

Fail to install Android

Hello

My loading/installing problem:

I keep getting something like this:

[5438.6456878] r4.0000000 r5.00000000

The same of my loading problems occuer when I use other builds of Android which the phone is unable to reconize and then it start to use the ion conf.

Does anyone knows what to do?:confused:

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] j101399j:
I tried and all it did was crash the build to the point that I had to reinstall from scratch. Wish it was that easy

Are you installing to Fat32 or EXT2; and if EXT2 what size are you partitions? Also what size is your card (is it still the 900MB one?) and how much free space do you have available before you start HaRET (No installation yet and no data.img or system.img files)? The p[roblem may be that you need at least 520MB of free space before you load HaRET

Please I need some help

Hey everyone, if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated, I'm currently stuck on a part of loading android in linux. It says "unable to open persistent property directory /data/property errno: 2" and yes I used the search button and looked all over for the answer and I found some people who had the same problem and I did what they did to fix the issue. I've done Ion before no problem but for some reason I'm having great difficulty with this one. I used the rootfs.img, the system.sqsh, the eclair.user.conf, the startup.txt and the zimage in the first post. Please any help would be greatly appreciated :confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aqtrans:
Good to know the problems just lie within the rootfs, and seem easily fixable. I'm "seasoned" with Linux, run Archlinux as my primary OS, so I'll definitely try my hand at seeing what's changed between the donut rootfs, and eclair.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aqtrans:
Well I tried my hand at seeing if copying the Eclair relevant files (just one library and the init.eclair files) over to an untouched Donut rootfs, would solve some of the problems that are supposed to be related to permissions in the Eclair rootfs, but no success. Build still doesn't sleep fully, and Brightness/Ringtone settings crash.

Is it possible to get telnet/root access with this?

I tried telnetting to it, but it askes a login.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Telnet is high priority for me. It's, again, rootfs permission issues like most other problems. All in due time if I/we fix it then a lot of things should get better very quickly. The problem is with this type of issue you need to fully reboot each test so it's time consuming.

Thank you to all for assiting in getting WIFI working, I truely really appreciate all the people involved in this work. I was going to buy a new phone, but now I will stick to my Kaiser as the Hero I recently purchased had 3 dead pixels, I had to fight my ass off to get it exchanged and even the new one has 1 bright pixel..

So glad that I dont have to run the risk of getting a new possibly faulty phone since the release of this awesome build.. Thank you people..

battery

does anyone has problem with battery drain?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
I'm pretty sure that permission issues with rootfs cause:

power collapse failure (battery drain)

brightness settings

vibrate

home screen button (may or may not be an issue)

various applications that require root or anything from the above

telnet
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] vexersa:
I'm having issues with phone calls. I have had them on all the Android builds I've tried on the Kaiser. Generally I can make one or two phone calls and recieve one or two but after that the phone either simply doesn't ring (no visual or audio confirmation of an incoming call), or doesn't dial (no sound at all).

Is there something I am doing wrong?

My radio version is: 1.70.19.09

I have tried with 1.71.09.01 as well to no avail. Or is this not a radio issue?

But other than that its awesome. I love Android. Thanks to all.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] :
I have no problems with wifi, it works perfect, market, youtube, mail, browser, facebook, etc.

My problem is: When I go to the market, there are some apps missing that were there before the update to 2.0.1

Now (with 2.0.1) I can't find some apps such as Photoshop (to say something).

In Donut 1.6 wifi was unstable, but it kinda worked, and when it worked fine (sometimes) I was able to find these apps.

Now with 2.0.1 wifi works great, but I can't find them again.

BTW, I also tried with MarketEnabler. Nothing happened.

Kaiser is not Android flashable whatsoever until some custom code is written to initialize the hardware. dzo might be working on it once the Vogue method is stable, but don't hold your breath.

Hello y'all,

Alpha 4 has been released! No more having to switch kernels. Thanks to dzo, vilord, and moisha we have working 3D, GPS, and installer all in one kernel! This is the build I am running full-time from NAND right now, it is fast enough to be daily-use but I admit it could be faster. I'm still working on the animation speed :) Alpha 4 is still running the JIT Dalkvik VM, I will be rolling back to Donut Dalvik when I have time but it requires major changes across the board.

I've changed the tiwlan.ini values to hopefully provide a better connection, if you are interested in playing with the values, these are the important settings in /etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini:

#
# Power Manager
#
BeaconListenInterval = 1 # the number of N-Beacon or N-DTim
DtimListenInterval = 1 # Dm: Different value causes DHCP problem

dot11PowerMode = 0 # 0 - Auto
# 1 - Active
# 2 - Short Doze
# 3 - Long Doze

PowerMgmtHangOverPeriod = 5 # in mSec units

AutoPowerModeDozeMode = 2 # 2 - Short Doze
# 3 - Long Doze

[B]AutoPowerModeActiveTh = 8 # packets per second

AutoPowerModeDozeTh = 4 # packets per seconds - threshold for entering ELP in Auto mode[/B]

defaultPowerLevel = 0	# 0 - ELP
# 1 - PD
# 2 - AWAKE

PowerSavePowerLevel = 0	# 0 - ELP
# 1 - PD
# 2 - AWAKE

I have work to get back to, but enjoy and cheers :D!

not getting installation option

I hope this isn't a stupid question, but I've made the 2 EXT2 partitions, copied 'andboot' folder to root of my SD card, go into /andboot and hit haret, hold the middle button when prompted and I get a menu that starts with

'1.fix permissions' and a few other backup/wipe options (7 in all) but the option to install or upgrade is not present. When I '7.quit' it gives me the error 'Failed to read system.img on SD card'.

The FAQ tell me that this is because I am using a modified default.tx, but I'm using the stock that came in the 2.1a3/4. What am I overlooking? Do the contents of andboot need to be in root like older builds?

Help!

This is great looking and im looking forward to trying with a nand flash. Now i have flashed more windows roms here 2 years then i can remember. But how do i pick the correct nbh from dzo? I have a Us Branded ATT Tilt. there are 3 428 420 and 320 2-15-10 files so which to use? thanks for your help and work on this great Android. Actually it looks like 9 files that have a tilt new date and 1 2 3 and 428 420 320. so i need all of them? or how do i discern the one i need thanks again.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
@mnjm9b: sounds like your default.txt is wrong

@joth11: Are your partitions at least 256MB? Is your FAT32 partition the first partition on the disk? Repartitioning may help. The files should be in andboot, just like they are in the .zips.

@decipher: The different .NBHs are for screen res, I'd recommend the standard QVGA 320 (320h x 240w), that what I use for my US Tilt. 480 (480h x 320w) shows more market apps but is scaled down to native resolution and the aspect ratio is a little off. 428 is a middle ground between the two. There are 3 panel types, my tilt has panel type 2.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mhurtz1:
From my experience plus the FAQ from j101399j:

It sounds like you are either missing the androidinstall.tar file in /andboot or your ext2 partitions aren't large enough (260MB each works great). You shouldn't have to move the contents out of andboot.

Also, has anyone noticed alarms / data sync not working or working really really slowly when the phone is asleep on this build. On donut GMail would usually auto-sync in under 5 minutes of receiving an email, but for some reason it's taking 30min - 1 hour to pickup on new mail in eclair. When I manually sync it works fine and at a reasonable speed. And yes background data is turned on. In fact it seems to go a little faster if I keep the phone from sleeping.

app upgrade

nice work! but why cant i upgrade some apps, like facebook?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] j101399j:
You can't change the LCD Density, but iof you flash the 240X320 NBH it will change the resolution AND you do not need to reinstall the system and data. (at least that is the way it was with the 1st NAND installs)

@decipher; I have a Tilt and always use panely 2; plus the 240X320 resolution is a tad too big, but works well on the QVGA scree. If I knew how to rebuild the nbh files I would create another with Panel 2 at 250X360 (my fav). And like about, if the resolution is off or the colors are bad, just flash another resolution or panel and no reinstall needed.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Niscandia:
Actualy using the rom here I was able to change the LCD densitiy when I used Dzo's 480 nbh. The way you can do this is changing the /system/build.prop file. There is a setting in there called "ro.sf.lcd_density" I changed that to be the proper density, and it worked just fine.

Might try that setting. Just remember that you need to remount the /system into read/write mode before updating the build.prop file.
