Put the brakes on, or my bad?

I installed Eclair last night, and got it running on my AT&T Fuze with a stock 6.1 ROM. I installed over the old Donut version. All seemed fine as it did back when I installed Donut...

I got done playing around, soft reset, and when rebooting in WM6.1 got a number of errors like:

"FingerMenu.exe cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists try reinstalling or restarting this file."

I got this error for: FuzeHFix, Fingermenu, FingerMsgBox, TFDetach SVC, iContact, Newsbreak, GoogleMaps, GPSTest, etc. and TouchFLO was screwed as well, but I assume that was to do with TFDetacher being screwed -it wouldn't even show up in Settings-Today-Items... T'was a real mess. I will do a full backup as soon as I get everything back in order and at least before doing anything major like this again... just did not see it coming.

I tried removing them through Remove Programs and re-installing them and none would re-install! I finally gave in and did a hard reset and am rebuilding from scratch, it was overdue anyhow. And finally writing a set of directions for each CAB that I want on the phone that requires more than clicking on them to install.

If anyone can shed any light how Eclair installed only on my SD card could do this to my WM stuff I'd like to hear it and what to do if I'm dumb enough to try Eclair again? I was hoping to be able to get a little experience with Droid since a co-worker just got a Sprint HTC Hero and I wanted to be able to answer his questions as well as try it out as a possible upgrade to my Fuze. Wouldn't mind the version of GoogleMaps with turn by turn directions running on my phone either.

Obviously, I should have done a backup prior to Eclair, but Donut caused no such commotion and I just winged it never dreaming the Android version would mess with my WM6.1 stuff. Like I said, I needed to clear out all the clutter anyhow. I've had about 8 months of playing, time to tidy up a bit.

Any answers guys? I'm assuming it's something to do with the certificates bit? I must say it was not welcome when I reset just before bed last night... er, this morning by the time I got it even slightly unscrewed! GRRRR.

where do I have to put my music?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] mchuntley:
I have one question:

Is there a difference between copying the files to the storage card via activesync, and pulling the card out, mounting it on the PC and copying the files over?

I am wondering if the file conversion that activesync does is changing files and causing my weird lockups from time to time?

Thanks

Matt

[WiFi issue]

Have you attempted to start over from scratch? Either format your microSD(fat32) or delete data.img and let it re-create itself? Also, you are using the latest system.sqsh and rootfs.img?

I usually put mine under the "media\audio" folder in a folder called music; just to keep things in order :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] dcordes:
I do think this discussion absoloutely belongs here.

Yes, in my opinion those who made the initial kernel porting work do deserve the credit and should be named when people list contributors like in the first post of this thread which seems to discuss <something> linux on raphael.

I am totally getting and supporting colo-natas' point that it's not always easy to 'draw a line' there. Also it's wrong to get possesive about free and open source software. Because the good thing about it is, everybody can enjoy it, modify and use it to their own will because it doesn't belong to anybody. Else you guys wouldn't be starting androd on your raphs now.

But if people decide to say ok, there are so many willing to say thanks or give an amount, so we need to say who helped here, then they need to do it right.

And in a case like this the line is not so hard to draw. We are talking about those who contributed in the linux port for the htc raphael. Have a glance at the original raphael linux thread and you will find it out easily.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=402002

I also named a different way of spotting developers.

Just because people are not very active anymore, or don't have the time or interest to browse 1000 threads doesn't mean you can go ignorant on them.

In this context I also want to say that it's a bit strange to label things like this as a project.

Somehow it is a very popular hobby on XDA to make as many android porting threads as possible.

I don't go to the kaiser forum when androed snickers comes out and open a thread androed snickers 3.5 with lots of bla in order to hype people.

This causes confusion. e.g. it makes things look like there is no relation between the ports for the seperate devices. In case of the raphael it's actually one huge project with plenty of devices - all msm7xxxA based ones. And it always was our strategy to keep things together using raphael as a sort of main device, also in the kernel code structure. When we first booted the linux kernel on raph100, the basics for all other msm7xxxA based htcs like diamond were set.. Now where's the sense in making one thread for every device, even seperating the cdma ones?

I just think it totally sucks to misinform interested people.

This is why I also disagree with lines like 'Please donate to developers that are working hard to get Android running on our devices. '

What's the benefit in making people think we would be porting android?

It's not very constructive to keep mixing up userspace and kernel development in that way.

All I am asking is to not step on your mates feet in all the euhporia and to think a little.

Btw I would also prefer it if you would not refer directly to the irc channel but to http://www.htc-linux.org

thanks.

hi,

Will this work on asus p835. Its specs are nearly same as HD. Any idea?

Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] R^7Z:
I'm not 100% it will work but I can say it won't break anything if you try it! :D

Keep in mind the change log is in the first post
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] abombletap:
thx man it worked....but the linux loader is taking forever

statred the Haret at 8pm and it is still going on as i type this massage

how long can it take?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
About 5 minutes to fully boot on first boot. Subsequent boots are much faster
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] abombletap:
well after 4hrs of boot loader...phone shuts off (charger was plugged in the whole time) and I rebooted the phone and started as WinMo...and my battery was at 2%..so I not sure if Android in installed at all or not...

so I dont think is worked after all...the charger doesnt even charge the phone during the android linux boot loader...my phone was 100% before i did this.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] abombletap:
it was not 5 minutes man...more like 4 hrs.

started very 1st boot at excatly 8pm and phone shut off at 11:59pm

the linux boot loader was going on the whole time...you know the white txt on black background boot.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] gmanfuzing:
babijoee - on the fuze and vga versions of the rom, is there a way to make the empty bars around some apps go away due to resizing issues without changing the resolution of the whole system?

i ask because i like how sharp everything looks when the lcd.density is set at 210 but i was told to change it to 240 to accomodate the other apps.

Is there a way to get the best of both worlds? and make it so my keyboards fit the screen but i still keep the good looking resolution i started with and became accustomed to.

On another note. When i download apps from the app market where do the apk's get saved at ? i can't find them . really i just want to know how i can keep the apps data when i delete my data.img.

id like to be able to keep all my game and app data for things like beautiful widgets and the like. or just for the game blocked stone. the game where you have to get the puzzle piece out of the maze by moving the other pieces within the restrictions of a box. its like unblock me for the iphone or rushhour, parking lot. Basically i want to not have to start at lvl 1 everytime i update !
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] R^7Z:
@abombletap

That's not normal:eek: Where did you extract the package to:confused:

Did you download the latest system.sqsh? Are you using the microSD? There were more questions but I will wait for these to be answered first before proceeding! :D

@gmanfuzing

(If I'm not mistaken) You should be able to mount data.img and find the apps there...

I haven't deleted my data.img since I loaded it on the 24th. I speculate that as long as the boot doesn't crap out on you, "it should be fine". :cool:
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] abombletap:
ok so now on the linux boot loader

at the end it say

"Failed to find rootfs on SD card. You need to unzip a rootfs

zip file to the root of you SD card"

ummm....I do have rootfs on SD card...i cant unzip in my PC or Cell...b/c its a .img file.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] The Jack of Clubs:
good stuff. got the droid on my fuze while waiting for the warranty people to send my replacement tilt 2.

i cant get the notifications panel to open though and they are starting to pile up. i drag from the top and it just doesnt come down.

also i installed live wallpapers and it works but wheres the nexus one tappy colors one?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] R^7Z:
Is it halting there or? I see the same thing on mine but it keeps trudging along and eventually Android loads... :D

Either use your fingernail or tap the "Home" button to get the menu to open and I've stopped looking for that wallpaper a while ago... I'm afraid the live wallpaper is only for show, not a very good one on the Fuze(IMO):cool:
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] abombletap:
ok finally the boot loader WORKED...i deleted all the XDAndroid that were in the root of SD card...and re-copied the filed

--root--

\conf

\media

-haret.exe

-initrd.gz

-rootfs.img

-system.sqsh

-zImage

-startup.txt

into my SD card AGAIN 3x times i had to do that...

finally it worked..

Thank You...(pls don not reply to my msg's of android not working)

It works
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] R^7Z:
@abombletap

This is just to confirm that you used the system.sqsh from 25.01, correct?

Also, I would suggest that if you have any apps that you download from the computer, to put them in a sub-folder under Android apps and install using Astro (can be found in Market) Yes, I know you should be fine just by putting the apps directly under the folder and not a sub-folder but doing it the way suggested, eliminates any issues with the apps that may or may not occur. (It was suggested by another member, only re-emphasizing)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] The Jack of Clubs:
thanks for telling me about the menu button. i was able to clear out the notifications. its only a temp fix. i still want to figure out how to get it to open on a slide down. its probably just screen calibration. anyone know how to kill your 6 running apps? also need to figure out how to increase that number and get screenshots of each app like the acer liquid in the multitasking selection bubble thing.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] R^7Z:
Screenshots are best captured using Shootme (IMO - found in the Market for free)

Same here with the slide down issue but I can deal with it for now. This is a project for our phones after all! :D

Live Wallpaper

Hello, i downloaded the latest android build but it doesnt have anything about live wallpaper. Does anybody know how to get the live wallpapers on? I searched around but wasnt able to find anything. thanks in advance
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] zKnuckles:
You can find the live wallpapers in the Media folder that is inside the AndroidApps folder. Just use Astro to install them.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] tyguy:
Search market for "Live Wallpaper" there are some really cool ones to play with (rotating cube and so...). BTW I haven't seen ANY speed decrease with a live wallpaper which is COOL!

@babijoee:

Strange think with special characters still... I do have the same "failing/illegal" chars on my "daily" SD as on my test SD but only my 1GB test SD will allow sound using the same package (1::1 copy).
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] tyguy:
Ringtones and sound DO WORK on the Fuze and other devices BUT the current Android is very sensitive to "special chracters" most common found in Music files (like' & even sometimes tilde). I had the same problem, took another SD, formated it FAT32, copied Android and it ran and had sound. I'm currently scanning through my "daily SD" selective deleting stuff to find out what kills the sound. Babijoee has a link to a characterscanner in post 1. Either connect the Fuze in storage mode or use an SD card adapter to access the files with this scanner. Don't be shocked if you see the list of files containing "illegal" characters.

I am trying to install android on my raphael-300 phone ( GSM MDA Vario same as raph-100 )

I have downloaded XDANDROID.24.01.10.7z and replaced system.sqsh with system_core_readded.sqsh ( renamed it properly ). My startup.txt is :

set ramaddr 0x10000000

set mtype 1910

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

boot

however the booting sequence goes into a loop at the point in the attached picture. Can someone help me pls
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] andre.mud:
I have a RAPH300. And i have the same problem. It's already mentioned here in the thread. It seems to have something to do with the backlighting. When you use the rootfs.img file from the 16/01 build it should work fine. The only thing that has changed from 16/01 - 24/01 is something with the backlight.

The developers know this and are trying to come up with a solution.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] marstop:
Hi, thank you very much for your prompt reply, excuse my negligence but where can I find the 16/01 rootfs.img ? This is my first attempt to install android on my phone.

Got a question about the SD-Card formatting:

Is it a "must" to format FAT32 or can I go with FAT?

Someone posted an SD-Card formatter somewhere (think it was from Panasonic)

It complies with SD standards, but only formats in FAT, not FAT32.

So far, I'm trying to start Android from the FAT formatted card.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] markus0471:
Did you found a solution ? I have the same problem with calibration / alignment.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] sensimilla:
I'm having the same screen calibration problem. The screen calibration is set from the command line contained in STARTUP.TXT. Here is the format:

The msmts_calib param is made up as follows:

msmts_calib=xmin.ymin.xmax.ymax

The values should be hexadecimal numbers but normal decimals seem to work as well ie.

msmts_calib=115.150.863.911

I just tried increasing the ymin value and this does makes the notification bar open more easily but harder to close so I guess the ymin and ymax may need tweaking. I don't have the time today to play around more.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] DHSoccer4:
In ANDROID,Is there a way to disable the data connections and only use WIFI like in windows mobile?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] phhusson:
A calibration solution has been done and is working, you might want to wait a bit before playing with these options.

Edit: If you want to test it, go on #htc-linux @ Freenode, I or makkonen will explain to you how to proceed.

I'm trying to follow the directions on this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kygv-yWJ7R0&feature=youtube_gdata to delete some of the unwanted default apps but when I try to do the last step it keeps saying read only file system even though the rw command should have made it read and write. Is su not working or something or am I just doing it wrong?

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] JesusFreak316:
If you have linux installed already and are familiar with a command line use

sudo mkdir /media/temp (your new temporary mount point)

mount -t udf your_file.img /media/temp -o loop (the meat of the operation) (taken from ubuntuforums)

If not, I'd try googling for some free image mounting software for Windows and try a few.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] owziee:
It's already rooted I think since the screenshot app I'm using (can't remember it's name right now) is working just fine.. It requires a rooted android version to function.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] gmanfuzing:
i understand how command lines work but im guessing i need to download linux to my computer and start some learning?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] JesusFreak316:
@Owziee: That's what I thought too. I must just be doing something wrong.

@gmanfuzing: Yeah, you probably should do that; it's pretty much required for any Android development AFAIK. The best way would be to partition your hard drive but it's a pain and if you aren't careful you could accidentally format the drive you are currently using.:eek: I use virtualbox which is painless to set up but I can't get my phone to connect in Android as it needs a nonexistent windows driver. Using a memory card adapter or connecting via Winmo works fine though. I just can't use ADB.

Is there a way to delete default apps without ADB or from within Android? Which file are they in? I couldn't find them in rootfs.img or data.img. Are they in system.sqsh? I can't extract that; it keeps giving me a floating point exception.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] abombletap:
I have an sort-of an issue

When I press the End key of my Fuze to put phone on standby.

the Center Circle button...key ring keeps fading in and out

just like the when u would charge the phone thru USB on WinMo...but on stand by....when using the phone it does not fade.

and the ring does not notify or vibarte the phone on txt or missed call

even if i have notifaitcion on
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] JesusFreak316:
The fading is normal; I don't know about the notifications though; my phone doesn't have a sim card.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] owziee:
I'm 99.9% sure the default apps are in system.sqsh because the stripped build without the updated system.sqsh had a significantly smaller system.sqsh file.

Of course there's a tiny posibility that I'm wrong aswell :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] owziee:
A funny thing about it is that it stops fading in & out if you connect the charger :) (at least on my phone...)

So it seems the middle button led works the other way around in xdandroid...

Most of this cannot be done trivially. Android just doesn't do things that way by default.

It is somewhat trivial to do a couple things in that list if you know your way around the system and how to edit files on the images... You'd have to make modifications in rootfs.img /init.etc/keymaps/fuze_raph_navi_pad.kl:

Actual Power button is currently mapped to Android's Home button - this can be remapped to Power to do exactly what you want.

Actual Home button is currently mapped to Android's Menu button - this can be remapped to Home to do mostly what you want (holding Home would then allow you to switch between open apps)

PTT button is currently mapped to Android's Camera button (which Market apps can remap) - this can be remapped in the .kl to Menu to bring up in-app menus (but will not take you to System settings)

End Call button is currently mapped to Android's Power button - it can be remapped to ENDCALL to do exactly what you want.

(I have a locally modified navipad layout to do most of the above changes. If you wish to use them as reference, see here.)

Editing such system files is at your own risk and it's up to you to figure out exactly what you need to do to get it working. Those files aren't meant to be modified by end-users. You can grab a checkout of the Android eclair source repository to see how it handles key layouts and character mappings.
