@j101399j: Yes, the 1st ext2 partition is where the system is installed. After installing the system.sqsh/img to the partition, the installer moves system.sqsh to /sdcard/android/backupsystem/installedsystem.sqsh. The 2nd partition is a data partition, if you backup your data partition using the installer it will create the backup file in /sdcard/android/backupsystem/databackup.img. 128MB is a minimum size, if you want 256MB or more for data or system, that's fine.

@aalexandrou: yes, all you have to do is run HaRET.exe You can use a program like Total Commander to create a shortcut for haret in your /windows/start menu/programs folder to make it easier to launch.

@dr3w2k: My card gives me the same error you get when I a) resize the FAT32 partition instead of starting from scratch or b) when I format the FAT32 partition in Linux. Formatting FAT32 in Windows is always readable, but I need to be able to format in Windows without destroying the ext2 partitions. Here is the (painful) method I use on my 8GB card:

* backup the card

* completely wipe the card

* Using GParted in Linux, I create a blank, unformatted 6 GB partition as the first partition on the drive

* I then boot Windows and format the 6GB partition to FAT32

* Then I boot Linux and add 2 256MB ext2 partitions after the FAT32 (and a 4th partition for Linux swap, since I like to boot Tattoo/Hero builds)

* Then I place my files back into the FAT32 partition

Most people don't have to do this. I think it has something to do with my card reader or maybe my card is corrupted. Regardless, the process always works for me.

To All about buttons etc. being weird sizes: This build is fully usable on our QVGA device, but many of the apps were not designed for it. Many programs that aren't designed for QVGA have to have their graphics and layout edited one by one to make them look right at our lower resolution. You can try changing lcd density to 110 in your default.txt -- that will fix the dialer and music app, but will cause problems with other apps. Depends on what you use most. Hopefully Wysie's ChainsDD dialer with Groups and Nav features will be compiled for Eclair before long. It was backported from Eclair so it shouldn't be too hard.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] h0mer:
First of all i've got to say that even as a beta-version, this Eclair build is truly amazing! Runs smoothly without any crashes even in a non-partitioned SD-Card! Wi-Fi working great. Syncing with facebook and google working great. Layout is stunning!

Battery however still haunts me. I looked at the batterylevel this morning and it was at 99%. I played with GPStest for like 20mins and suddenly the battery dropped to 3%. Finally the battery went empty and it caused (of course) a reboot. When i went back to WM there actually was still something like 58% battery left. Booted back to Android and still battery was "empty" causing a reboot.

So when i see battery issues fixed and camera working, i will definitely move to Android once and for all.

PS. Where can i download this zImage6..? Sounds like i should give it a try if it has some solutions to battery problems.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aalexandrou:
Hey polyrhythmic,

Thanks for responding. When i try to run haret again, the boot program goes into a loop where it gives me lines and lines of code ending with adsp: module AUDRECTASK has been registered, and then goes into the loop again.

Previously i had to reformat the SD card before redoing the whole thing, which is a nuisance as it means i cannot save any data on the android installation.

Any insights?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
@aalexandrou: I haven't seen that particular error before. EDIT: Those are the normal lines to see, then the Nexus One 4 color bootscreen should show for several minutes. /EDIT Are you using default.txt or default-s.txt? Android doesn't always boot since it's hacky but default.txt uses the regular zImage kernel, which is more stable. Once you have Android booted and setup, you can reboot and make a backup copy of /android/data.img to your computer. That way you can just copy back the backup if you get errors in the future.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] JeckyllHavok:
Try to reformat your ext partitions, one time i got the problem that there were still some old files even after fresh install (installer told me nomore free space while installing) after reformating my ext partitions it worked for me. You know the model of your kaiser (for example mine is kais130) In the past there were several issues for people with different models

Power Issues

Anyone else have problems with power savings?? It wakes up by pressing any button...tried 1 and 0 in default.txt but no luck, havent seen anyone else talk about this problem so I'm wondering if I'm doin sumthin wrong here.

UPDATE: Found out on the vogue forum it might be the new rootfs.img preventing the device from sleeping..since it does this with a 1.6 image as well.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] bandur:
Thanks to both of you for the suggestions. After I posted, I tried to boot the Plenem 233 sys. image, and it didn't boot, so I deleted the ext. 2 partitions. After your advise, I tried Eclair again, and so far so good. I am now running eclair. Thanks!

By the way, has anybody tried Vilords new rootfs with kaiser and eclair? At least it works with Kaiser and plenems sys. image.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ajclai08:
the new rootfs causes the phone not to sleep no matter what system you use..so enclair might be good for testing purposes right now until that gets fixed.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
I'm going to look over the rootfs and post an update when I get a minute. Since a few releases ago, there are some issues with permissions and other things; specifically the wifi files are not for our phones and root user perms are wrong (everything is owned by 0:0) which causes some issues. I think the latter is specifically problematic with sleep state and absolutely a problem for wifi as well.

Unless someone beats me to it, give me a couple days. I've been busy but I should have an updated rootfs soon and a blacked out Eclair image after with Droid features. Damn, Eclair was worth the wait. Anyone else looking at Flan by the way since the dump was released?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Keland44:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] antis0cial:
Excellent Job.. very few bugs so far..

Another issue I have experienced, not sure if it is just me. Is that when I go into SETTINGS --> SOUND & DISPLAY --> RINGER VOLUME

It comes up with the following error;

SORRY! "The Application settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Have tried it over a dozen times and it just keeps happening.

The only other issues I have found thus far is the standby issue that was mentioned in earlier posts which is minor in my opinion as even if the screen turns on by any button it still remains locked.

And my only major issue is WIFI not working. Hope it works soon.

Also, I've been battling with the keyboard lights in every android build I have tried on my Kaiser; when sliding the keyboard out slightly and slowly the lights are on. But when the keyboard is fully out, the lights remain off and do not come back on even when in the dark.

First of all, yes I know this is a thread for kaiser but android thread on Nike is practically inactive. This Build is beautiful but on Nike from android 1.6 we (people with HTC touch dual handsets) can´t get a working data connection. Get conected a moment and maintained only with an upward arrow but nothing else, I can´t browse with the browser (maybe sometimes with luck only display google webpage)

Is it possible to download/install any of the apps from http://www.androlib.com/ on the Kasier? Their method for downloading is to use the bar code reader but since the camera does not work yet???

Found some free apps that would be nice but I don't see them listed in the Market.

EDIT: OK, so I found that you can click the Market icon on the app page on adrolib to search the Market but it does not seem to find the apps????

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
@enatefox: I was hoping you would do for Eclair like you did with Dark Donut :) Awesome! And thanks for the help!

@antis0cial: chill out, this software is in beta, subscribe to the thread if you want immediate updates.

@ftornell: I don't know anything about Exchange, honestly. If you know that it works with other builds/devices, I suggest you try a more mature build like Android 1.6 Ion Donut.

@joannerve: You have hardware driver issues that need probably hours of work to fix properly. None of us own your device, so I don't know how we could possibly support it. You are welcome to make a thread in the Nike forum based off this thread, as I did by basing this thread off of the Vogue thread. (P.S. It's bad form to quote the entire first post.)

@gochem: No. This software requires a bit of computer knowledge to run until it is out of beta, so consider the instructions as a screening process.

@JacenSolo2001:

@dr3w2k: Your question is completely Off-Topic, please try searching in one of the general Android threads for the answer to your question, it won't be answered here.

@Keland44: I (and others) have been sending and receiving SMS without issues. Thanks for reporting, if anyone else has SMS issues let us know!

@ponack: The instructions have been given in threads more than once. See above @gochem.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] joelmassee:
Partitioning -- What is the Value Add?

So I believe that I am current with all the posts since 2.0.1 dropped and even earlier build of Cupcake/Donut, but what is not clear to me of why exactly is partitioning necessary. I recognize that it's "recommended" and referred to but I don't believe that I've stumbled across the Why.

I am running a non-partitioned build of Dark on a Tilt now without much issue.

Thanks...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
@a.s.j.: Looking through the log for errors (lines beginning with E), you can see

E/TelephonyProvider( 1321): Failed setting numeric '23003' to the current operator

I tried changing CID on my phone and it went into the same sort of connecting/disconnecting loop trying to set the operator setting. There's probably an error in the RIL driver. Try collecting the output of logcat -b radio and dmesg and see if that tells you anything. I don't know anything about writing radio drivers so you'll have to talk to dzo & vilord.

EDIT: @joelmassee: link & link

Hey polyrhythmic, thanks for all the help,

The system displays the 4 colour bootscreen only on the first boot. So far i have not been able to boot in Android, press reset and enter android again.

I have only done a series of first boots, and then i need to format the card and do it all over again...

Will keep trying.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Poly your theme is really slick. A couple of issues I have with the color scheme personally though but I'm not being critical. If it's alright, I'll post a modified theme of yours with a few extra goodies. I'm a fan of mix-and-match so people have choices. But overall-- very stable and pretty. I've made a few themes so far (more to come of course) so I notice how the list items highlight to white and the subtle things you did. Nice work
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
Thanks! You're welcome to post anything you'd like for theming, this is my first theme release and I'm sure it can be improved upon. The blue zapote21 used is really bright but at least it is consistent :p One thing that was bothering me was getting the icons in the Launcher tray to display white text instead of switching to black text when selected. Do you know how to fix that?

kevinddavis & polyrhythmic:

Thanks for the responses. I'm thinking I might have botched something during my initial copy. I had a FAT32 partition on my SD card (not a problem) and I unzipped the build using Windows 7's built in ZIP handling. It might have messed up some file names or capitalization. I'm in the process of partitioning (7GB Fat32, 256MB ext2, 256MB ext2) a new SD card and copying over my windows mobile files to it. From there I'm going to try a fresh copy of android and see if I have better luck.

Thanks,

Very nice, working perfectly on polaris!

Thank you! Great work!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] goander:
VERY NICE WORK!! This is by far one of the best released I have used...and I've been following Android since it first came to the Kaiser. I'm running the eclair build on my tilt and it is VERY FAST! Especially for a class 2 SD card.

My only issue that is keeping me from using this full time is the refusal to wake up from sleep sometime (WiFi, camera, BT aren't big deals to me). Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Can't wait to have a more functional version. Keep up the good work guys!!

I'd love to help, but unfortunately, I know nothing about coding.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] nyunyu:
Great release!

I like this package. I installed it and ran it just fine.

BUT, after rebooting my phone, I could not make Android to start again. It shows .thumnails folder bad file name and such, and ust stopped at the boot page (dos like page). Why is that?

Is there a trick that I should know?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] hostmark:
I can't setting my own APN

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kevinddavis:
That is a new issue. Did you start with a newly formated SD Card? Not that newly formatting a card is required, but it certainly doesn't hurt.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] JM-PDA:
Vogue works!

Just got it working on my VOGUE (Sprint HTC Touch).

Had to make minor changes to the Default.txt file:

- MTYPE value FROM: 1553 TO: 1667

- board-htckaiser.panel_type value FROM: 2 TO: 3

Other than that, just followed the instructions.

Love the app!

Runs great! very fast!

After a few days, may partition my SD Card for stability if needed.

After using this a few days now I have seen no deal breakers other than battery drain. I went to sleep with a fully charged battery, wifi/gps/data turned off and when I woke it was at 1%. This has happened two consecutive nights. I do have an older battery but damn that's harsh.

Any tips on keeping some juice in the battery? ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] alias_neo:
Thanks, got that little irritation fixed.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] nyunyu:
First there was that issue, then I found that it caused by images (any images on the sd) so I deleted them all (well, the setup went deleting ALL my images before it hung. I reboot and delete the leftovers manually). Reboot then it runs ok.

BUT...after a while it says something like <Android<something>.core (or something) can't be started and give me option to forced close?

I'll try to snap some picture when I have the time.

Have this happened before or is it new?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dr3w2k:
Finally got this working. Ended up installing Ubuntu for Windows, installed gparted and created partitions. Although I did not have to follow your exact steps. I was able to create all 3 partitions under Linux and format the two ext2 partitions. When I booted back into Windows, it picked up the FAT32 partition right away and I did not even have to format it. Popped the card in my phone and got no errors. Ran the installing and it went smooth. Seems a bit faster but I have not had enough time to use it to test stability and such.

Thanks for the help! :cool:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Biglittlewhateva:
LOL. That's not really the issue though. If it will drain to 1% while "idle" what would happen if I was actually talking on it. I would need to carry around a motorcycle battery to keep it charged. :p

Are you using the files in polyrhythmic's package plus Newbie16's suspend-hacked zImage?

Also, check to see if it's really going into full sleep: if only the side power button will wake it up, it's in full sleep. If any button on the phone will wake it up, then only the screen is turning off. If it's the latter case, then yeah, your battery is going to drain pretty fast.

Full sleep works for me and I get about 2 days of battery life. Granted, I stay on 2G, I leave data off while I'm not using it, I leave GPS off while not using it and I don't use my phone heavily in general...but I like the maintain my good battery life. ;)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Pandemic187:
As I said before, you have to use one of Newbie's suspend-hacked zImages. There's one in the polyrhythmic's package in the first post - it's zImage3. You won't have full sleep with zImage 15-12-09.

Also, has anyone used Shazam successfully in this newest build? It keeps telling me it couldn't tag my songs.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Biglittlewhateva:

I believe the reason shazam doesnt work is because the mic doesnt record yet.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Biglittlewhateva:
Unless I did something wrong, I am not getting full sleep with zImage3. Any button wakes the device. If I understand correctly, simply drop it in the proper folder and adjust your default.txt. Did I miss anything? Do I need to start from scratch using that image?
