[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
Seems to be an issue with the installer having swapped the ext2 install and SD install, I'm looking into it... more soon

EDIT: To clarify, the Ext2 option only refers to the filesystem of the data.img... it is an EXT2 Image, but if you want to install to ext2 partition you should choose SDcard partition. I can see how that would be easily confused, perhaps we can rename it for future installer versions.

and, "can't access tty" is completely normal, has to do with unneeded parts removed from our kernel for efficiency

ALSO EDIT:

And I've ported OpenEclair 1.2.2, it has working Grass LiveWallpaper, Launcher2 runs but isn't really functional (colors are wrong due to partial OpenGLES implementation and it has trouble with QVGA.) Got more testing to do but so far it looks rock-solid stable.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zzoinks:
Wow! I installed the androidupdate you linked above and that's some great eye candy. So far, I tried:

Galaxy - Not enough movement

Grass - Ho-hum

Nexus - Really cool! (even though the heading for the Settings referred to "Polar Clock Settings"... but they still worked)

After it loads, things are still pretty responsive, even while running via SD card.

@Poly:

Good work! Java now works! Now I'm just getting frustrated because I can't seem to find the Java package for Opera Mini Beta 5.2. I try to load m.opea.com/next through the Android browser and it won't render. Works fine under IE in WinMo... grr. Not your fault, just another bump in the road.

Thanks,

Quick question, the 3 options for system and data are:

(1) System On NAND

(2) System On SDCard Partition

(3) System On EXT2 system.img

(1) Data On NAND

(2) Data On SDCard Partition

(3) Data On EXT2 data.img

#1 installs to NAND, #2 installs to the EXT2 Partitions... So what exactly does option 3 do for system and data?

Try adding a "board-htckaiser.panel_type=2" (or if 2 doesn't work, try 1 or 3) - I *think* this helped me with this issue previously (though have gone through so many iterations, configs and builds since then I'm not sure) to your "set cmdline" statement in your default.txt file. Also try using a different version of the haret.exe file.

First of - this is the first android build I tried to use as my daily driver.

There still are some issues to be worked out - some I don't find any solutions to here in this thread. (NAND flash with rec. radio)

SO here it goes:

the good:

* speed more than ok - faster than my HTC Magic (32B)

* exchange support works fine even with contacts & calendar

* snappy rotation of screen

stuff that's buggy for me (yes I know it's a beta release)

* no data over wifi (WPA/WPA2 access point, other computers on network)

* Only boots after pulling the battery and without being plugged in without that it just says "smart mobility" for ever

* Calls sometimes ring once an then go to voicemail (using recommended radio)

wishlist:

* build netfilter into kernel for tethering
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jonahs:
I had this on my KAIS130 and while I'm not entirely sure, updating the ROM to the 1.71.... (the latest one for my phone model) and making sure I used the right panel type on the NBH fixed this. I'm running NAND flashed, so your experience might be different if you went for the HaRET option.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Knolselder:
nyunyu,

your board-htckaiser.panel_type is not correct in the default.txt file.

Change it to an other setting.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jonahs:
This pretty much sums up my configuration to, using Android as my primary OS for daily use.

I agree with the good, apart from that I can't verify if Exchange support works. I might get around to configuring Gmail for Exchange use but as long as it's not a problem for anyone I think I'll just use my Google config.

I'm trying to verify over time if certain things work or not, such as, for now, the general stability of the phone. I've had to use a couple of applications that "mess up" the standard config, such as the SD split widget but that for one is one essential tool I can't be without so I'd rather see that get implemented as a standard tool in the future. Anyways, I've been having the same booting problems as mzoller, with the addition that I can also boot cleanly when powering off Android the "normal" way, by pressing the power button and choosing Power off.

Using soft reset always screws up the boot, so if the power button doesn't do the trick, I always have to pull the battery, no questions asked.

Issue with pluggin in USB cable when phone is off

I'm having a problem with plugging in the USB (or power-charger for that matter)-cable when the power is off.

When I do this, I notice the orange LED staying on for about 5-10 seconds, then going out. Now, this wouldn't be a problem for me if it wasn't for the fact that I have to pull the battery or soft resetting to bring it to life. The power button does nothing when I press it in this state, unplugging the phone first doesn't matter either.

It's as if the phone gets into some sort of halfway boot sequence and then just freezes.

Is this a known issue?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jonahs:
^^ Yeah, people tend to miss the vital posts all the time, don't they? :)

On a side note, I'm not after hijacking this thread or switching subjects, I'd love if the XDA-wiki was a little more "user-friendly" or more-wikipedia-look-a-like. I find it a bit confusing and hard to get into. I'd use it, edit it and refer to it if it wasn't for the fact that it feels like a direct extension to this forum and not like a wiki I (and surely others) are more used to. A wiki is a GREAT tool for these kinds of things.

I have OpenGL ES hardware driver issues with zImage-eclair kernel (can be solved, it seems I have to use the zImage kernel anyway), but overall, as yet

Myn's Warm Donut is the fastest and most complete android build I experienced with very nice themes. It's ready for daily use and running in circles around any current eclair build :D

You know how it is.. we were asking for Android subforum, but we still do not have one...

And for the wiki.. there is a possibility, but you need volunteers, that would take care of that... we have some support sitets too... but they seem to get outdated quickly, cause things moved pretty fast in the latest days...

I even had my own site... but now the domain is closed :(

Anyway... reading hudnred pages of posts is boring for newbies and I understand that.. I also tend to "skip" posts that are not interesting and normaly I do not do such RTFM posts, but this time I did, because I took care of other person with the same problem for almost whole day yesterday... and it seems to me like lost time after that post :(

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] nyunyu:
Thanks but in the latest build, there are only these options:

1=Sony 2=Topoly 3=Topoly

I used Topoly before and the resolution was bad and on previous build it has Hitachi and that works for me.

..and I love sarcastic people. :rolleyes:

================

I checked again the default.txt in my Kaiser and surprisingly it was the unmodified default-kaiser.txt content in it, not the one I modified before..now I edit it and use Sony, so far so good.

Thanks,.

So, I got this after booting up.

Android on HTC Knowledge blog

To hell with fast development pace, I'm taking the bull by its horns and try to keep up with when things change.

Until I get around to installing a wiki that has the feel of wikipedia I'll just force my knowledge onto my blog. I created a separate page to take care of running poly's Android build on a Kaiser so I can refer to it more consistently. Nothing much up yet, but I've only had about half an hour to get this much set up.

*SNIP* This has been changed to a wiki. See my sig.

* for me it seems also having not data come through my WPA2 connection, but in fact the problem is only the range. If I go only 1 Meter away from the access point I can surf at a speed, that winmobile has 10 meters away from the AP.

*I have boot issues too. some times it boots the second time, some times it takes 5 approaches and I dont pull out battery but use the reset button at the bottom.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] gresham:
Hi All,

Thanks Poly really cool to see android running on my Tytn 2 (south african version) excellent work !

Ok at first i tried the SD boot and i had lotsa issues with speed and FC's

Then i decided to do a NAND install , it seems much faster but i have a few issues:

1. Wifi connects but unable to browse internet or use any data related apps like gmail/facebook etc.

2. On startup, i check the taskkiller app and there always seem to be a number of apps running like market , facebook, settings, my uploads, corporate calendar, etc... yet i have not started these apps at all and if i dnt close these apps the phone runs quite slow

3. now that i have done the NAND install i cannot get the SD card to mount in windows vista so that i can copy new files "2.1b" onto it. I have tried the "dual mount SD widget" but i get an error activity not found "com.protocol.x.usb"

Is there any other way to mount the SD card. I have installed the ADB drivers but still cannot get this mounted.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] nyunyu:
I think those programs can safely be killed. I did that and nothing bad happened.

As far as Wifi goes, it finally works! What I did was using different radio 1.71.09.11.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
First thing I do after install is set up the taskiller taskbar widget, and every boot the first thing I do is kill all those tasks, usually gives me 28-25MB memory, and really smooths things out.

Those tasks, such as mail, calendar etc are automatically started at boot, but killing them has no bad effects on the OS at all, I suppose there must be a way of removing the startup entries for those tasks, but having taskiller makes me too lazy to find out where ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] piotrv:
its a Vogue forum:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=619980

You can straight do a fresh NAND flash or SD install on ext2 type partitions.

However, if you don't have any experiences with doing so, I would suggest to start with the wifi enabled sqsh files for Kaiser.

READ THE INFORMATION there first.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] loserskater:
This thread is for Poly's Eclair. Which is a very nice port. He's made a lot of advances and its running a LOT better than it used to.

Yes Myn's Donut build may be more stable and run faster, but that's because Donut is an oldr version of android and its been well deveoped. For us to have the latest and greatest android build is awesome!

Hats off to you Poly.

Polaris: Sometimes impossible to start Android via Haret.exe

Hello to all,

Regarding the problem with HaRET.exe launching on Polaris (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp2YWnAnRig)- I have found a workaround for resolve this one.

By experimental way I created following default.txt for my Polaris:

# Default.txt for Polaris
set RAMSIZE 0x08000000
set MTYPE 1723
set KERNEL zImage-moisha
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "board-htcpolaris.panel_type=1 pm.sleep_mode=1 mddi.width=240 mddi.height=320 no_console_suspend board-htcpolaris-battery.battery_capacity=1350 clock-7x00.mddi=0xa51 lcd.density=112 ppp.nostart=1"
boot

With this cmdline my Polaris works fine- no more freezes after HaRET.exe launching.

So, this info might be helpful for any other Poraris users ;).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] gresham:
;) Yup i have the latest radio 1.71.09.11. I need to try and mount my SD card so that i can copy the latest build, maybe that will solve things, but just as a note i have never been able to get wifi working with the previous 2 builds (2.1a3 or 2.1a4)

If anyone else has some suggestions i'll greatly appreciate it :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] piotrv:
Absolutely, Poly is a frontier and deserves heaps of respect since it is also helping others to work on eclair, such as Myn, he is also working on eclair mr1 :D

And for most people, besides the eye candy and m$ exchange support in eclair, as yet, donut will do the job on their kaiser.

I'm not impressed so much with eclair anyway (on a 'native' android device). I don't care about exchange, live wall paper and html5 support.

WiFi Problems too

My WiFi works intermittently, it just seems to go off sometimes, haven't seen any pattern to it. The WiFi symbol just goes away at the top of the screen and then comes back. Never had that with a 1.6 build and this is the first 2.1 build that I have got to even boot and be usable so I don't know about the alpha builds.

Haven't had any boot problems and it's pretty stable other than that.

Cheers
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Ok on holiday today, so I decided to do a little experimenting, which in my case usually leads to a reinstall, and this is what happened today, but....

Before I reinstalled I was just browsing the Android development and hacking forum here, when I came upon a few startup animations for eclair I liked the look of, so I decided to see how easy it would be to preload one of these into the installer tar file, using 7-zip it's utterly simple, and works fine, here is how I did it.

First grab a startup animation from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=623960

Secondly make a copy of the androidinstaller.tar file you wish to change, ( you don't need to, it's just safer to work on a copy and still have the original available).

Then open the copy of the androidinstaller.tar with 7-zip, in the data/media folder there is a file called bootanimation.zip, delete this, drag and drop the zip file you downloaded into data/media, rename it to bootanimation.zip.

Exit 7-zip, copy the androidinstaller.tar to your SD card, reinstall , watch your new boot animation.....

You can also upload the bootanimation.zip file to /data/media using adb if you don't wish to reinstall, but I have not tried this yet, no reason why it should not work however :)

Now I'm wondering what else I can customise, add or remove, without breaking something :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] slapadabass:
Agreed on all counts. I'm using Myn's latest build for daily use, but have a couple SD cards set aside just to play with Poly's newest stuff and keep comin' back to see what's new . . .

my wifi settings

Because of excellent results I get with some wifi settings in Donut builds, I tried the same settings on several Eclair builds:

I changed in /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini

dot11Powermode = 1 # 1 - Active

defaultPowerLevel = 1 # 1 - PD
PowerSavePowerLevel = 1 # 1 - PD

I can only say that my wifi connection with eclair builds has never been working so well. I never get any network error connection anymore, gtalk, market, browser etc.

AP is situated in another room on the ground floor, 15 meters away from me at the 1st flour.

It makes no difference if any other wifi traffic is going.

I get with xtremelabs speedtest:

4200 kbit/s down

360 kbit/sec up

I'm not sure how and if this effects the battery life, but it doesn't look bad, so it might be worth to give it a try yourself!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] nyunyu:

I got rid of this after I went max. 1 meter away from the AP with one ytong-wall (aerated concrete) between.
