GEN Y

I have install GEN Y dual boot but it cant find android i want modify the reg system but i dont know.

How can i modify reg system in windows mobile?

Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] protozeloz:
you need root access to put/modify files on an ext2 partition. have you ever used a console? have you ever tried a Linux OS?

well i still consider the ext2 partition to be a great option (especially for advanced users) I've give it a try and believe me sometimes it does wonders ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] sfhub:
I don't know why you took my question for clarification as to OPs needs as a negative towards ext2 installs. It was simply asking for clarification because it wasn't clear what the OP was trying to accomplish rootfs+system in one ext2 or updating 3d libs in system.

High powerconsumption ?

Am I the only one experiencing a lot worse PM in the newest Android build ?

Changed build yesterday to 12.6.10 and have a new data.img

Same kernel as before (20100606_150404)

I used to have 5-8h usable time with some calls, 3g exchange/gmail sync.

Since update the power drops very quickly to 5-10% (in just above 2h). After 3h steady 5% I belive I need to charge because I don't want to lose my data.img yet another time :-)

The phone is responsive and cool. no indication of heating problem.. However I have not seen the breathing led ever since. Do I need to install the led-app ?

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] gm112:
Regarding PM, I do agree that it has degraded quite a bit recently. DO NOT leave your phone on overnight! It seems that after being on USB for some time, the phone refuses to charge and therefore, starts using the battery until you've unplugged and plugged the USB cord back in(ironically, the battery mysteriously climbs back to 80% in two seconds after plugging back in, only to find the phone dying 10 minutes later). I doubt this'll get fixed, but I guess it's worth mentioning to see if others experience it. Both AC and a standard USB cord were tested.

New Build

Just updated to the new build (6-12-2010) and I have a Topaz (HTC PURE). Still no sound, I can get over that but there are a few things that make this unusable. First, the Power consumption seems to have gone up quite a bit, and second when the phone is in deep sleep (press the off button) the phone doesnt get phone calls. The light changes on the indicator but the screen doesnt come on, and if I turn the screen on theres no way to answer.

Hi, I am from india and am using a diam140. I am stuck in bootloop sequence of XDANDROID. Can you show a me a way?? Or at least a dedicated forum for Diam 140??? I have tried android from a different build and it worked on the startup of diam100. But the new release is not working. I am totally new to this and wanna try android before making an investment. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Can't remember it this has been posted before.

But I have problems with 3G connection with both builds after the 06/01. It works great after booting but i can't connect to the internet after the phone has been in sleep mode.

Wifi works just fine though. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
I think you mean 'good' archive, and the guys here are doing the best they can. If the new rootfs doesn't fix the issue, just delete your data.img and try to boot again.

I didn't have to do any of the mounting stuff; I just typed su then copied the files. It worked fine.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] zen15:
yeah.., same problem here, it happen after the phone go into deep sleep, the 3g icon still stay there but there is no data connection...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] protozeloz:
well you could try using a torrent file, they sure have their advantages, and let it download overnight. i have a slow connection at home but i do that and sure works plus its rare to have a broken file (i used to download stuff and get broken downloads which resulted on a cd lost :( >.< but now i get perfect "ubuntu" cds all the time :D)

If you install into an ext2 partition, the init script mounts it read-only. If you install from an ext2 image, it mounts it read-write. I do not know why the discrepancy is in there. That is the reason for some configs you don't need the remount. I'm running from an ext2 partition and didn't realize until you mentioned it, that the init script did something different for ext2 images.

anyone manage to get egl.cfg working ie hw3d ? or dalvikvm JIT enable using vmlib?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] sfhub:
Are you sure you don't have other (older) rootfs.img's lying around in the root directory of the sdcard or in the andboot directory which might be confusing the situation?

On your screen when linux kernel is booting and all the text is flying past, do you see anything that says "no such user '-R'"?

"Updated APN list from cynaogen nexus one rom"

I think this broke 3g for me... I have a CDMA RAPH800, and I had to configure an APN manually... there weren't any by default on the newest build.

Other than that glitch so far the new build seems great, I didn't get a boot loop at all! I did get stuck in the wizard at the beginning, but I was able to add an APN and get thru it. Is there any way out of that wizard other than creating or logging into an account? At first there was a skip option, but it brought me back to the beginning of the wizard. Then there was no skip option at the end, only create a google account or login to a google account... Seems a little forceful....
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] waterproof125:
just press the home key, i usually have to restart my phone after this as even if i do add the account it doesn't show any syncing items (calendar, contacts, email)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] sfhub:
The reason it cannot execute init in the config you have created is because system.ext2 is just the /system directory and doesn't contain the rootfs, however you have told the bootup to use your partition as if it had rootfs and /system integrated.

If you want it that way (rootfs+system), look at balsat's builds, that is how he has it built.

If you want it to work with the files from this thread, get rid of the "root=" and "init=" in your cmdline. Then remove system.sqsh from your card. Replace it with system.ext2. Rur haret.exe and it will all get mounted properly and you can replace the libraries (and reboot).
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] siulmagic:
you should let captnoord or phh know about that

hw3d works fine in 2.1 aslong as you place it were it goes, system/lib/egl

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] protozeloz:
well when you copy the new files the old ones will be overwritten so the space will remain almost he same but i have a few questions

-how big is your storage card?

-if its bigger than 4gb why just give android just 300mb?

-is the phone actually using the swap?(I don't think swap was needed, forgive my ignorance)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] xUmaRix:
thx i got it boot up fine.sometimes got this dmesg [ 989.152313] Buffer I/O error on device mmcblk0p1, logical block 215601

[ 989.152343] lost page write due to I/O error on mmcblk0p1 error output.

i try to place the lib for hw3d using adb however after reboot it wont show boot screen and i need to change flags in egl.cfg.i try to extract rootfs.img on another ext2 partition but it just the same.it cant detect both partition.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] acidsven:
yo man, thanks a lot, i was waiting for answer coz i wanna try android as soon as i can, i'll try it and feed back, thanx a lot buddy!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] sfhub:
I would try a different card. This sometimes has to do with subtle incompatibilities between card/reader or could indicate a failing card. Sometimes a reformat can help but not always.

Did you make sure ownership and permissions for the file are the same as the rest of the files in that directory (or the file you are replacing)?

If all you want is to replace the hw3d libraries, why do you care so much about getting the root fs onto a partition? You already have it booting and can make the changes to /system to add the hw3d libraries.

If you really want to purse rootfs+system, use balsat's builds.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] imrock:
well, i just followed these instructions which suggested a 300mb partition would be enough n also a linux swap, i also found that many use two ext2 partitions so just wanted to confirm

- i have a diamond so a 4gig inbuilt storage

- i just followed neopeek's instructions on this one

- i dont actually kno about it but i saw an option under the spare parts in the android menu to use the swap or compcache, using it made no diff but i have no idea bout it!!:p:p

also i did as instructed to rename the file to system.ext2 n copy it over system.sqsh but i did all this on my fat32 partition..so ext2 partition wasn't being used?? please help!!:confused::confused:
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] sfhub:
There are multiple ways you could have things configured. The system.ext2 *on this thread* appears intended to simply replace system.sqsh for the purposes of giving you a read-write /system (android) directory which you can then make changes to like adding libraries and removing stock packages.

If you replaced system.sqsh with system.ext like the instructions on this thread mentioned, you would be using /system, it would be ext2 format, and it would be file-based from the image system.ext2

If you make changes to /system, that will modify the system.ext2 file, so if you later get rid of that file or replace it, your changes (to /system) will need to be redone. Your changes to /data of course, are contained in data.img, so would be unaffected if you removed system.ext2

There are other ways you could have things configured and they are discussed on other threads, as you pointed out. There are also other ways you could use system.ext2 if you are an advanced user, but in that case, you could have done the same with system.sqsh.

I don't have sound either ... and I was curious about the new hw3d but setting to "1" in startup.txt didn't seem to improve rendering. I played the 3d racing game and shortly after I noticed a white noise coming out of the external speaker. Will we have sound soon???

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] mrcpu:
Hmph.

I unpacked the 6/12 release, and installed it. My fuze boots quickly into android, but the touch screen doeesn't respond at all. It did not ask me to calibrate it in the bootup.

I am using the startup.txt from the new conf directory, having replaced my old one.

I'm going to reboot into winmo for now, and root around, but that's my status so far...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] TheDeadCPU:
Delete Data.img and try again.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Did you copy the ts-calibration file from another build? It really should've asked you to calibrate if you didn't have that file tho...

I just copy my ts-calibration file, I know it's good. I lost my stylus and it's a pain to keep re-doing the calibration! But yes, do like TheDeadCPU said and delete your data.img and try again, or copy the ts-calibration file.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] hamagc:
the screen config is just 4 little boxes that you have to tap on. if you miss it it will auto config and you won't have any touch response. delete ts-calibration and reboot android.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] martijn5380:
actually there are 5 little boxes:D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] mrcpu:
I deleted the ts-calibration file and reboot, and it worked fine. Don't know why I didn't think of it before.

Anyway, performance seems good, sync is working fine, I just do the basics, calls and textx, so I don't expect much trouble, but I'm just a happy camper now.

Thanks for your help. In this cas,e I'm actually just using my normal 8GB SD card that I also use with winmo, and everythign seems to be co-existing OK...

The BLACKSTONE STARTUP.TXT from the new build (13/06) makes screen not respond in BLACKSTONE.

Where is

lcd.density=240 clock-7x00.a11=500 msmvkeyb_toggle=off gsensor_axis=-2,-1,3

should be

lcd.density=240 msmts_calib=0x395.0x3c9.0x79.0x77 clock-7x00.a11=528 msmvkeyb_toggle=off pmem.extra=1 gsensor_axis=-2,-1,3

NOTE - i dont know if it should be like this, however, what i do know, is that with the first startup (the one from the last build) the screen dont respond, however with the second startup it does behave normally.

I dont know i its because "pmem.extra=1" or "msmts_calib=0x395.0x3c9.0x79.0x77" or "clock-7x00.a11=528"

Thanks

PS - although tehre is a device specific thread, as this startup came from a build posted here, i think it would be nice to post here so the author of the build could know.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] imrock:
thank you sfhub for such an informative note:):)..it explains a lot

But the thing is that even after everything, the speed i get isn't any good:confused::confused:..i thought that the ext2 system will provide bttr speed with lower heating problems

Also, as i mentioned earlier, i did copy everything in the fat32 partition so the data.img has been created on my fat32 which i think should not have been if it used ext2 partition..u said it would be ext2 format and would be file based but does it use my ext2 partition?? coz i think if i did the same thing without the ext2 partition, i would get the same result..

thanking you once again

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] vincentchan:
co-ask~ I need this .
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] siulmagic:
i tried the ext2 partition way, with balsats builds, if anything is a tad bit slower, i even noticed that icons lagged when you would hold and drag them it would take a couple of seconds for android to do that and then after you trew it in the trash bin i lagged too, but hey that my experience you might have better luck
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] 232603:
android rom for diamond？
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] sfhub:
Put it this way, ext2 does not necessarily mean partition. It could be file-based or partition-based.

The system.ext2 in this thread is for file-based ext2 for the /system filesystem. Main advantage over system.sqsh is you can edit the /system filesystem. It doesn't affect your /data filesystem.

You have a data.img created. That is also file-based ext2.

Your partitions aren't being used.

In my experience the ext2 partitions made a noticeable difference when I did the Vogue install, but for Touch Pro hasn't been that big a deal. There might be a small difference but nothing major.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] vincentchan:
OK

I have done it in ubuntu.

I try to edit the hosts in android,

but after that I canot umount the device,it say the device is in use.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] imrock:
ooh..now i get it!!:p:p

so the system.ext2 here has nothing to do with increased speed or anything, they are just the same as system.sqsh but advanced users can edit and add or delete files from it easily..gotcha;)

Also can u please tell me where can i find good ext2 partition based builds to get bttr speeds coz i just partitioned it 2 days back n i am not satisfied with neopeek's builds (my opinion though)!! Thanking you once again

I'd just start with balsat's builds here:

http://balsat.hopto.org/android.php

http://balsat.hopto.org/linuxmsm.php

As mentioned above (by myself and others), you shoudn't go in expecting big speed changes. Maybe you'll have a different experience.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Nakebod:
Personally I can't really notice any difference between Balsat's "ext2 partition" build, or babijoee's "ext2 image" build.

Okay, I must note that Balsat's build is from 31-05, so it doesn't use the latest rootfs and Android build yet. So maybe that a new build can improve the speeds a little bit, although I doubt that it really improves speed.

Quick question to everyone here.

Who here is going to have an Android device as their next device?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] lugiber:
I am! :)

Just waiting for a good device with hardware keyboard. And for it to be december so that i can get it for free...

HTC Vision looks really promising...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] spodog06:
No, it's not the original keyboard. It's the HTC version. You can change it back to the original android keyboard by long pressing a textbox(like box where you type your text messages into), a popup will appear, click input method and on the next screen select android keyboard.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] jooprzol:
What Spodog06 said. You'll also need to enable it first in settings. Go to settings, Location & Keyboard, and then make sure the Android Keyboard checkbox is checked.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Nakebod:
I have only an option: Touch Input.

I guess you meant: Language and keyboard? Under Text settings I have 2 options, Touch Input, and User dictionary. So I select Touch Input, and I have a few new options, and Keyboard types sounds the most logical to me, except that it had QWERTY, Phone keypad and Compact QWERTY and nothing like Android Keyboard.

Unless it was part of the "eclair-addon-apps.zip" which I didn't download, and can't download anymore since the link is broken... :)

Edit: I found the zip file somewhere, and it was indeed part of this zip, LatinIME.apk to be more precise.
