My StaySafe app is abandoned. The only thing it does is run the update.sh script I wrote (on Google Code too) so you can hack away at that script-- there are plenty of comments in it to see where it creates an ext2 image of a sqsh file. You just need those bits and you can ignore the rest.

Wifi has been and is a little fussy. I have to always put my AP in manually (remove the existing entries) each time with no password then when it shows up I have to enter the key-- luckily I've memorized them all.

You don't need to reboot for Maps to take effect (I believe it will work once you uninstall, provided it's not in /system) but if it is in /system, as it almost always is, you can instead run "stop" in ADB (don't even try this in Terminal on the phone or it will freeze...) and kill off vold, servicemanager and acore then run "start" to do a soft reset back to the Android boot screen. Saves you a couple of minutes.

The keystore perms are just plain weird and it's a common issue. Despite putting the right permissions per the source it still throws those errors. For all I can tell it does no harm but fill up log files. I'll upload the rootfs.img later when I double check that I have the right one-- I've done so much editing with them. There's no downside to using it but there's no real difference you would notice besides telnet working and some apps working a little better maybe like SuperUser. There are still so many issues to be tackled though.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jonahs:
I'm joining in on this quest too. I'm sure there's someone who knows how to change the keymap between AT&T = 0/1 as it works when running Android from SD card with HaRET. I'd be able to test the different NBH's more thoroughly if I could switch between keymaps no matter whose build I'm using. Anyone got anything on this?

By the way, I just NAND flashed 2.1b4 (OpenEclair-v1.1.5-Beta.polymod_2.1b) and it's posing no problems as I can see so far. I had a seemingly random reboot when I had started Android for the first time. It went through with the Nexus load screen, got to the main menu, went to sleep and about a minute after that I noticed it going through the boot procedure once again. As long as it keeps on track I don't see this as a problem, though.

[EDIT] Hey, look at that. zenity to the rescue explaining things. @zenity: So I gather that for us using these builds and not compiling them ourselves, we have to wait and hope for an NBH with the keymap that suits our needs?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Compiling our own while convenient for us as users, would perhaps cause more problems than it would cure, the reason being, it's hard enough diagnosing issues with the different nbh/build/ install type combination we have at present, imagine everyone having their own custom kernels as well, lol.

Which is why poly recommends particular NBH files, since they are a known variable in this equation.

The root of the problem is the variety of different models of Kaiser, it's more work to compile a complete set of nbh files for all of the different types, especially when there are the 3 panel types to consider also.

Really the keyboard issue is not high on the priority list at this point, I think more focus is on other issues, such as battery, wifi, stability and speed, and working on the non-functioning areas, such as camera, usb and bluetooth.

I think once these issues start to work themselves out then we can expect a settling down and standardisation of the various installers.

problem solved; Thank you.

I came to same conclusion myself after trying another build (the nbh being the only factor left to alter after trying 'warm donut')! thank you for your help anyway.

(warm donut is a great build also, definitely worth a go if your finding this build a little slow - but it is based on 1.6 and not 2.1)

haret polymod 2.1b OPENGL ES hwd

In contrast to 2.1a I get massive problems with OpenGL hardware driver using the zImage-eclair kernel. Most OPENGL ES 3d features don't work anymore, texture mapping, blending, filters etc.

Using the software driver with zImage kernel works, but obviously slow.

The neocore benchmark however, is running fine with zImage-eclair (????)

I had no problems with 2.1a

First 2.1 build to work!

I've been trying all the builds and this is the first one that I have got to boot and actually been able to use.

Booting using Haret on fat32 sd card, latest 1.71.09.01 radio on an AT&T tilt 130, panel type 1

I do get a system process not responding when I reboot and my WiFi was only working sometimes, but it seems better now that I changed to the zimage-eclair version, but it still seems to disconnect occasionally. I have got Google Maps working, but haven't tested GPS yet, doesn't work where I work. It's the first time I have even been able to download the Maps. I don't use GPRS, only WiFi. One other thing is after a reboot I have the following tasks I need to kill: Calendar, Email, Bluetooth Share, My Uploads and Corporate Calendar. Don't know why, but guess that's what taskiller is for :)

I had been using a 1.6 build, but I like this one better, soon as camera works I'll be ready for NAND install

Thanks for all your hard work Poly, I will be a full time Android user soon!

Please forgive me if I missed this part.. But is there a way to flash to nand without an SD card? my slot is just flatout bad and refuses to read a card.

its not a formatting issue - at one point if I opened the keyboard the card would read and dismount as soon as I closed it. probably a bad connection or damaged cable.

I've been testing this for the latest beta for a day and so far i'm quite impressed, it's obviously got a way to go but it's very usable, Most annoying thing for me at the minute is the intermittent wifi, it connects to my router fine and gets an ip and has no problem with the wep encryption but it is rare i get a connection (although i have once or twice for a minute or so). No wifi makes testing many features difficult. Overall i am very excited about what is to come here. Has anyone used the 1.6 donut build, I see that bluetooth and camera are working on the january build, i wonder how it compares in other areas, only one way to find out i guess! Keep up the good work polymod :)

GPS & Cell Tower Location

Hello All,

OK, I got Android running now and LOVE it, I am running on Kais100 with the radio that was told to use 1.7... emo using the nbh dated 20 of Feb from SF with Tilt and Panel 2 running latest poly build 23rd of Feb

So far this is what I have notice:

Booting can be very fast and slow, if booting from a shutdown that was throw the power button then it boots fast. if doing it throw reset (stylus) it boots slow.

OK on to what my subject says, GPS make the phone freeze ever single time no matter what program, brower (google home page), Google Map, Place Directory etc. I turn off GPS and that mean its going to use the cell network and it give a place in CA

Any ideas of these issues, what can I do if these can be fixed?

God Bless,

Christopher

PS: keep up the great work all of you!

2.1b Wowsers

Excellent work the 2.1b is definitley running java, 3d gallery, and pandora just fine. Pandora now plays continously without having to unlock after every song.

Tips:

Calibration

: If you goto dev tools and open pointer location and hold down the camera button and touch at each corner starting with the top left. The screen will calibrate until a restart is done.

Wifi

: The htc hardware for wifi seems to only like channel 11. I had this experience in windows and Android. So configure your wifi router to channel 11.

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

Questions:

1. Any news on the video streaming including youtube?

2. I was able to start this after installation has finished and power cycled, without an SD card, by pressing center d-pad when it states "waiting for sd". COOL.

--------

Excellent work once again, I can definitley show off the Android by Polyrythmic to my customers, as a AT&T rep. I ordered a 2800 mah battery just to hold out until the rumored HTC desire will appear 2nd quarter of 2010.

peace,

In Response...

Well in response to your questions. I am using the Radio suggested in the original thread post for the Beta Version. I was running A4, with no problems before I upgraded, via a complete wipe(even reformatted all partitions) I used the latest kernel as suggested and tried different default.txt files just make sure it wasn't the problem. I don't know if it is a really a service problem. When I would try to make a call, I would dial the number and when I would press the dial button it would go back to the home screen. And for some reason when I would launch most of the different program I would get the dreaded (Force Close) or (Wait) screen after a minute or so. I don't know why I am having such a problem with the Beta. I have since moved back to the A4, and am loving it. Truthfully I may just not knowing what i a doing, I like that the A4 release had everything included with it (all the files, kernel etc.) and the Beta didn't which left me with my newbness to put the pieces together. I know this is probably where I and others are screwing this up. I know that this is a better way to do this b/c it forces people to go get the latest parts, however it is confusing for those who are Going Android for the first time. Posting a list of versions and setups that do work would probably be somewhat helpful. Even though it is our own responsibility to figure out what we are doing, with something like this. I look forward to seeing bluetooth and camera in future builds. Once all the kinks are worked out I will be moving to NAND. Thanks in advance.

GPARTED

Your laptop wont boot off any CD or just not the GParted CD, because in my experience, GParted itself will not detect the SDcard. However if you boot off Ubuntu and then run GParted from within Ubuntu (administration menu) it will detect it.

It is my understanding that while creating the ext2 partitions is the best way, you can do this from SD with just the Fat32 partition (option in installer) in this case I would suggest formatting it in window by right-clicking on the drive and selection format. Remember it has to be FAT32 because it will default to NTFS if you don't explicitly select FAT32. Check this thread it should help you out some.

Try to use my Default.txt, the only values you might need to change is:

board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt (Set to 1 if you use AT&T branded Kaiser)

you might change also mddi.width and mddi.height to change resolution.

but the # means, that this line is comment and is ignored.

Just before the end you have

set cmdline "ppp.nostart=0 pm.sleep_mode=1 mddi.width=240 mddi.height=320 no_console_suspend board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt=0"

Which is used, but there is no board-htckaiser.panel_type attribute.

so delete the one that is commented and edit the last one just before the boot command.
