here is the breakdown of what I have done so far...

I have an att tilt.

I upgraded to official wm6.1 from the htc website.

I have used multiple versions of android by means of haret.exe

my current is a donut build with the htc themed advanced launcher.

I tried the eclair alpha2 and haret.exe wouldn't get past the "go go go..."

I was then told it might be the "OLD" radio that came with wm6.1

so I upgraded the radio to the 1.71 version

(first I needed to install hardspl...then upgrade radio... which took forever because I kept getting errors. Not to mention I had to install windows onto a partition just to use activesync )

then I was about to try alpha3 but alpha4 was just released.

so I tried that.

same problem... haret just says "go go go..."but no GO.

then I was told it may be problem with default.txt

I used the one that came with the download.

I used the one that works with my current donut build

I made a custom version. (several)

here is what works for me on the donut build...

-----------------------

set RAMSIZE 0x07000000

set RAMADDR 0x10000000

set FBDURINGBOOT 0

set MTYPE 1553

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

set cmdline "board-htckaiser.panel_type=2 ppp.apn=internet ppp.username=none ppp.nostart=1 ppp.password=none pm.sleep_mode=1 mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 lcd.density=160 no_console_suspend board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt=1"

boot

--------------------------------------

of course in my custom default.txt I changed "zImage" to the correct filename

I also tried just using my current default.txt and renaming the "zImage-moisha" file to "zImage"

just in case there was a file format issue with the default.txt

I have tried pinpointing the problem but nothing seams obvious.

so I reformatted the sdcard (fat32) and tried everything all over again.

and now I am back in the same boat. "go go go..."

and then nothing.

If anyone has been able to get this working with a Tilt please share your setup and how you got it to work.

I am at a loss. :(

can anyone tell me what is the center D Pad button for Polaris?

I have tried the center button in the direction pad but no response.

Thanks so much
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] chourmovs:
it's the round button in the center of the pad

does it work for you under wm ?

you have to let it pushed for a while when console ask it (you can start before console prompt, it works too)

Youtube not installed

I cannot get Youtube to install, it did not install on the first initial install using NAND. Ive tried installing from the APK file from the install.tar file and it wont load. Any ideas?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] reiteravi:
i also cant activate install menu with d-pad on polaris
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] DmK75:
Solved.

I pressed and hold dpad during the two vibration and the menu appears almost instantaneous.

Thank you very much, just tried it out now and runs quite nicely. A bit slow (i know hardware is to blame here not you) but really fantastic !

Thanks again !

Hi Polyrhythmic,

I can for few days test also with a Kaiser phone (130 version) I use for both (with my Polaris) your .tar (the same for nand) and flash with the .nbh of Vilord http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D with the zImage-14-02-10... (doesn't work with the 16-02-10 ...)

It works very good (I use the 320*480 nbh) may be a bit slower when you move page in left or right (same behavior on both phone) and I think in this resolution this lack of light : I compare with the 240*320 and it's much better with with resolution (any solution ou suggestion ?)

I tested tonight WiFi connections and Market but I think it works...

I tested also the GPS (with IGO for droid) but I loose signal every minute even more (same for both phone !)... I don't know why. I also tested with YGPS and I think it's the same : I feel very bad timing for satellites...

But It's a great job again...

And many thanks for Vilord and DZO and others who contribute to have a better phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] spidy159:
Hi,

i have similar problems here.

I 've testet google maps and gpsstatus from market.

With gpsstatus my phone completly locks up just a few seconds after the app starts. I can not use any buttons. some minutes later the boot screen appears.

With Googlemaps i get a position, but after 15 minutes there is also a lockup.

Maybe some one has an idea...

Thanks

hi all. i tried the alpha 4 on ext2 but to me it seems MUCH slower than alpha3. shld i reformat my card and try instead of the installer just deleting all the data. will that help ???

also at this speed should i try to put it in nand (flash it) i mean will the speed be better and by how much

thnx again
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ruddicks:
Great thanks again.... The install seemed to work seamlessly once more. There is definitely a time lag and at the moment there seems to be more occasions of force close or freeze when using wifi (haven't tested it with 3g ) using Market, Contacts, Astro... however judging by last install things got better after a few reboots and simply leaving it over night to sort itself out ( I know there is a much more technical description for that but works for me!)

Thank you very much for all your hard work, can't wait for camera etc to work and full speed!

Anyway to overclock the cpu?

Heya, installed this today, as a NAND installation, went through sweet on a Kaiser... very slow tho, wireless works just fine... however, i was wondering, i was able to overclock the cpu to 667Mhz on win mobile... instead of running the base standard of 400Mhz... is there any way to ramp the cpu up in android? I know its going to drain battery, heat up etc etc... but it was handy to be able to let the app on win mobile run an idle speed of 333Mhz, and when in use, burst to 667.... made a heck of a difference.... i reckon with the cpu overclocking, android could run pretty neatly on a kaiser, or any other HTC for that matter...

Just a thought... hope someone out there has a reply for me :)

Cheers guys, and keep up the good work... :cool:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] revangelion:
if i chose NAND instalation, is it mean that i swap away windows rom from nandflash memory?can i still have dual boot if i chose NAND instalation?

i am sorry for my bad english.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] decipher:
No NAND replaces the windows install you wouldnt have a dual boot anymore but should gain some speed in Android.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] the-nj:
what works on NAND?

so im a little bit confused here...

i read in the NAND thread that nothing really works with NAND for now...so no voice calls, no data, no wifi and so on...

and now i read here that everyone's installing android on NAND...

so what does work and what does not?

and are there mayor speed improvements and is it stable?

because i installed the latest version now and i have to admit thats its not faster then the 2.0 one...if not even slower...

and i want to use android for everyday use...so it would be great to gain some speed...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] meGenius:
is there any news about the microphone & speakerphone issues??

it's working perfectly, but i'll not install the nand version til those issues solved to use it full usage.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] revangelion:
many thx for your quick answer... :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Now the circle is complete, my favourite build, now in Nand flavour :)

I think you deserve a couple of days off, lol, because you sure have had a busy couple of months.

Just committed my Main Kaiser to 100% Nand flashed Polymod Android, and everything I normally use seems to be working so far, and so smooth, a healthy lack of SD induced FC warnings, battery seems to be holding up well so far, all in all, a bloody great job.

Many thanks for the hard work you have put into this, all I need to make this complete is a little 'Polyrhythmic' sticker for my battery cover :D

News just in, cannot upgrade Facebook app, not a big issue, ( error is 'Package file was not signed correctly', presently researching reason for this and possible fix).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] plutarcian:
667 ?? wow thats fast but i dont think kaiser can go that high. can u tell me how u overclocked in winmo ?? i cdnt find a thing
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Taluven:
@Poly:

Great work on this, I had been running the Alpha 3 from SD and it worked pretty well, albeit slow. Went ahead and went back to the Nand version today, extremely fast and very very stable. But as with every other build, I have problems with the dang GPS once again. Using all the lastest files along with the latest .nbh from dzo, installer works great, everything installs to nand perfect, even the applications install like they are supposed to. But if I run any applications that try to access GPS, the device locks up and ends up re-starting on it's own.

I am running a tilt with the latest radio, the 1.70?? I forget at the moment lol. Anyone have any suggestions on what I can look for to see what is causing the problems? Not sure if there is something I should tail in a log or something. Any advice would be great. Because this is extremely repetative when I do these builds, Wifi works great and everything else, just not GPS.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] j101399j:
@badboss;

A few possible issues. #1 Make sure you partition the sdcard using linux and not in Windows. #2 Make sure the EXT2 partitions are formatted in EXT2 and not FAT32. #3 Make sure your FAT32 is the 1st partition and is formatted in FAT32.

I say this becasue if your card reader does not see the card is becasue windows only sees the 1st partition on an sdcard, and if your 1st partition is EXT2 (no matter what it is formatted as), windows and the phone will not see your sdcard.

As for your error:

Failed

Failed to reach system.img on SD Card

That is becasue you did not enter the install menu; see FAQ's for more on that.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] CYDVicious:
Just upgrade from the previous Dark Eclair (nAND) to the latest Alpha4 nAND on my AT&T Tilt.

The installer menu on DZO's latest, 480/Panel2 NBH works great. Used the menu and wiped and installed without issue. So far Data, and calls are working as expected. Wifi foundnearby networks and GPS started up.

Nicely done. Bluetooth, Camera, and Live Wallpapers would be nice ;)

~CYD
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] joth11:
finally got it installed

but how do I tell if it installed to the EXT2 partitions?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] papatel:
I've done the exact same thing and GPS crashes my phone. I have AT&t tilt with panel type 2. Also, everything is REALLY slow, like phone calls fail because the phone takes to long to load the answer or reject screen. I have the latest radio from the radio thread flashed.

Any ideas? I really want to use this as my primary OS.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] wolverine9827:
wow

All I can say is WOW... first attempt at the install failed with the weird Vogue error message that is covered in the FAQ (but the listed fix didn't work)

So I shut my phone down, and connected my sd card via usb and did a complete scandisk on it, deleted and then retransferred the andboot files over... checked the default.txt file and started haret and did a clean install with a full wipe... worked like a champ right off the bat! Once it booted I let it sit for about 15 minutes and then started poking around... very slick. quite snappy on some things and a little laggy on others but overall I can definitely see the potential! Wifi picked up my wep enabled ap and I was off and running! Cell tower location services picked me right up... I did notice that the speaker has a hard time with music but it could be that the volume was set too high and it was overdriving the speaker or something.....

Color me impressed!!! Thanks for all the efforts... can't wait for the camera and bluetooth to be worked out... could be my next platform of choice! :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] knytphal:
Finally a build that can install to NAND! Excellent, everything seems to work very smoothly, at least the stuff that I use routinely. Thanks for the work on this build!

The only thing that I seem to have problems with is getting gps and location to work - not that I'm all that concerned about it though, but it would be cool to have it working as well.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] xxaznxx27:
help =(

so i was able to get through the first install where you wipe everything. but it keeps getting stuck at:

this is exactly what I did:

1. unzipped files

2.copied it into sd card root

3. ran haret, held d-pad button down

3. ran install

4. hit quit

5. boots and goes to linux where it keeps saying

"android__power: wakeup" and all these numbers and keeps repeating and repeating.

right before it it says adding 26620k swap on/dev/block/razswap0

Version:alpha4

Dude, you rock \:D/

Power off working

Smoother and faster than alpha 3 (even from 1st boot)

Btw, I'm spreading the word to all my kaiser/tilt friends abt your eclair. ;)

Thanks to all the devs, and everyone who is putting their valuable time on this..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jrmurph:
So, I've been following this thread for a couple months now, and had been using 2.0.1 mod running from sdcard as my day to day phone for some time.

First off, thanks to those that put in all the hard work they do to help this mod move forward. I want to give my support and give some feedback to hopefully help this progress.

I loved 2.0.1 so much, I watched this thread for updates daily :) So when 2.1a was out I was all over it.

That said, I am currently using 2.1a4 on an AT&T Tilt running from NAND with the current radio. I found a noticeable increase in performance running from NAND vs SDCard, even using ext2 partitions.

I found turning off all the animations helps greatly. :D Running from NAND the phone is quite snappy and only get slight pauses opening new apps. I used dzo's kaiser panel 2 - 480 for the tilt and modified the build.prop file to 160 density instead of 120.

I am anxious for Bluetooth and Camera to work, but is not a deal breaker for me. ;)

1. The 'shutdown' option doesn't seem to work too well using NAND, I didn't have any trouble shutting down when running from SDCard. If I use the shutdown I have to use the reset button to power back on, and the power button doesn't do anything. If I pull the battery and SDCard for a few minutes, the power button works.

2. I have to use the above method to restart the phone for any changes, if I do not pull the battery I get very severe lag with the boot process and get force closes on 'core'.

3. First time the phone rings out of a long standby it usually sends the caller to voice mail before the answer/ignore screen appears. Calls following within a few minutes it works fine.

4. GPS works ok, still takes a bit to get a lock but it works, it does not seem that locate by cell tower is working, if I use Google maps indoors where I cannot get a GPS lock, I wind up with it showing me somewhere several hundred miles away. It has not locked up my phone like others have reported. (still not a deal breaker ;) )

5. I seem to be getting very eratic battery readings, I had the phone shutdown on me for low battery when it dropped from 41% to 4% and shutdown, then when I got it on the charger and rebooted it jumped almost immediately to 100% and stopped charging. :eek: This was after an overnight stay on the charger the evening before.

Can't wait for an optimized build!!

Edit

I stand corrected on the cell tower location, was just playing around with it again and it is working.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mayad79:
Big ups.....

Thank you. Too many folks to name.

The nand install was flawless. The system is fast, and battery life is great. Now when I show this puppy off it doesn't skip a beat.

As a wireless rep I am able to demonstrate the new OS. I can't wait till ATT gets their 5 androids.

------

I need someone to confirm that video does not stream. Or is it just me.

Researched and I think its a 2.1 known issue with google porting. I think there is a fix.

Peace,

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] havulm:
alpha4 on NAND

Your work is amazing, big thanks.

Everything seems to work well, however I would like to note a few points:

-There is no News and Weather (Genie Widget) on the NAND install. I tried to install the package but got an error.

-The Java app is not working, force closes after a few seconds.

-The following build in a different thread has a few bugs, but seems to run much faster and snappier... any chance to get the best of both worlds?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
Thanks for the feedback y'all!

I know for sure now that GPS is a bit buggy. This has been reported to devs and being worked on.

I know that some additional apps refuse to install. I am testing the fix for this and will post as soon as it's stable. I'm looking for a JBed that works with OpenEclair -- are there specific Java apps y'all would like to see working with it?

@havulm: mssmison states clearly that he should be asked before his work is used, I hope that was done. He has done amazing work with his 2.1 build, but it is based off of earlier code than mine. My polymod Eclair build is designed to be as stable as possible while running off of bleeding-edge released code. I've considered backporting my fixes to earlier works like my 2.0.1 build, but it's a lot of work because the filesystem layout has changed significantly. I'd rather figure out how to increase the performance of OpenEclair -- OpenEclair has a ton of developers behind it and is quickly becoming one of the most popular G1 (and other device) roms. Please keep in mind that this is an alpha build, so I do know there are bugs -- when I feel it is more stable I'll name it appropriately :)

Cheers and thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
is there anything else I could add that could get me some direction as to why this wont work.

is there a way to get haret to print a log so I can debug???
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] stringbean82:
Great work Polly!!!

Been running it since yesterday afternoon now (+/- 20 hours) stable and everything works and the battery life seems to be good too.

Am wondering what everybody has on the memory side? I have 34 MB max free after running Taskiller. A friend of mine runs the cupcake still from Haret and he has 48 MB max free.

Is this because the mediaserver is still going on and using my ram or something else?

This would increase the speed and remove the lag am having currently.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Tomsen:
I've just installed the newest update alpha 4. This has more or less solved the speed issue i had with alpha 3, but now i can't make any calls, incomming calls are working fine, but when I try to make a call, it shows the dialing screen and then the Call ended screen.

When it's working as supposed, for me, then i'm going for nand install :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] a.s.j:
@Poly...

It seems, that my problem is from corrupted patritions, so perhaps Android is not able to handle them and just creates IMG files instead... But that took me to the idea... I am not able to use USB (Damaged connector) with adb... but would it be hard, to add parted and other tools to check filesystems on SD so we would be able to use them directly in the terminal app?

Is it even possible? I guest that it should be no big deal.. right?

Anyway... I'll try to get LiveCD ASAP and reformat my card, it was maybe crashed by Vista trying to reformat the Fat32 on its first use :(

CU later and man... you rock :D

EDIT: Btw.. I found Fdisk working... well... at last it seems to be working :) I'll try that one :D

wifi issues

hi all

was using poly's build from last month some time off SD (which worked great, just ate battery!), just switched to 2.1a4 in nand on my kaiser and I'm having issues with the wifi. It seems to work briefly and then die; I occasionally get the google webpage when I start the browser and then it stops. I can't register my google account with the phone either. It is noticeable that the wifi icon in the titlebar disappears for a bit when I try and register the google account. This happens even when I'm standing right next to the AP.

I'm using the kaisimg-panel2-320-15-02-10.nbh image from DZO - what are other people using?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] R3TR3C:
I'm having a weird issue while trying to install android to nand on my kaiser:

what gives?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] djkoa:

Any GPS software appart from maps would be great...something like Igo (that still doesnt have a qvga version made ;) )...i will try to find something. I think we all miss a gps for our kaiser...

No Internet Connection

hello everyone,

first of all, i wanna say, this android is fantastic..

but i have a problem.

i don't get an internet connection. wifi is working fine, but no gprs or hsdpa.

i tried it with several apns, but noone works. my provider is t-mobile.

thx for your help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] d_m:
I know, bad form to quote myself, but I've tried the build from the day before (14-02-10), and it crashes with the GPS symbol active where the 15-02-10 build falls off wifi. So I'm guessing its a kernel/radio issue? I'm running the radio mentioned in the start of the thread. (At least - does the radio code cover GPS?).
