I did my first polymod install with the light theme, and then reinstalled and tried the dark theme and have been using it since (although I have reinstalled it several times for various reasons).

However I quite satisfied with my current install and wanted to try the light theme again without doing a full reinstall and I also had som time to kill so I've put together two update files to make it easy to switch theme without reinstalling. I've only tried going from dark to light but the other way around should work too.

1. Rename the file you want to install to androidupdate.tar

2. Copy it to x:\andboot where x: is your SD-card.

3. Boot phone, enter the install screen.

4. Install update, Fix permissions (to be on the safe side), Quit

Just like when doing the first install, it seems to need some time to "settle down". After that it seems to work fine. No guarantees though.

And it won't touch any of the files in the BT update so it should matter if you run a vanilla 2.1g or a BT-updated polymod.

Radio version

Just another quick question. As I use the system on the sd card partitions, I still got winmo installed, with a radio version 1.71.09.01.

Is this radio too old for running the latest zimage for bt update (it freezes my haret)? If so could you please suggest a radio+mod for my tytn ii?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] DJHile:
I think that once all of the small bugs / kinks get worked out of this build it will be fantastic! I ran this build on NAND ever since the new 2.1g release. It worked great for the first 2-3 days with only 1-2 force closes a day. Now, I get force closes all the time. Home Screen, Facebook App, Voice, Gmail, etc. One time the phone even reset itself and all of a sudden the setup screen re-displayed and everything was wiped (except for one app that was downloaded from the Market).

I've followed installation instructions to a T. I do have quote a few bad blocks but from what I've read, that shouldn't matter.

Any ideas why I am having these troubles? Anyone else?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] smartphoneguy:
polyrythmic,

It would be really great if you could get android-wifi-tether working on polymod. I don't think these are necessarily the only obstacles, but here are some starters:

1) AWT checks for the "su" binary in /system/bin. Polymod has it in /bin and /system/xbin.

2) AWT tries to run "ip" and "ifconfig" from /system/bin but polymod creates the symlinks for them (they are part of busybox) in /bin, so it fails.

Is it possible to remount /system as writeable when running from system.img on an SD card? If so, perhaps a .sh script could be included to facilitate that?

[EDIT - Just discovered there are already commands to do the remounting--rwsystem and rosystem.]

After installation of the Full Market Update, my Kaiser with polymod 2.1g on NAND, w/o any updates for WiFi, can not boot. It continues the start up X animation endlessly... Any Help?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
Remove battery for 20-30 seconds, then try again. I it still do not boot, try "Fix permissions" and "Clear dalvik cache" from the installlation menu.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
When trying out Myn's Warm Donut I noticed that one of the two Geocaching applications I use suddenly fitted within the screen. Before (in polymod) there were three buttons that wouldn't fit. So I did some comparing and Myn's Warm Donut uses LCD density 110 while polymod uses 120.

So now when I reinstalled Polymod I first changed LCD density to 110 in sysinit.rc in the installation archive. I also merged the BT update with it first as it would otherwise change the sysinit.rc if I did an update afterwards.

Now the GCDroid navigation screen now fits perfectly. Most people are propably perfectly fine with LCD density 120 but I thought I should share this information in case someone else might find it useful.

Oh, and another thing, not sure which version did it, but I'm running the latest DZO kernel (26-03-10) and changing in-call volume works now. It didn't do that a few versions ago (at least not on my Kaiser).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] sora-p:
@kallt_kaffe

Thanks for your advice. Unfortunately, I became not to be able to reach at the installer since my Kaiser repeats to reboot at some random points before asking to launch the installer. I reinstalled the system since I had no idea why it happened. Now everything looks fine again and the Market looks better than before.

Thank you very much. :)

A question about the fullmarket update. I've noticed that it installs into /system/app/ while the old version still resides in the /data/app_s/

Shouldn't the new one replace the old one or am I missing something?

I noticed this as I was attempting to create an androidupdate.tar to reinstall the original version.

If this what was expected, how do I create an androidupdate that _removes_ a file? Can you add a shell script to it that will be automaticly executed?

What's wrong with my android install ?

Thank you
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
You can use the terminal emulator to 'rm' (ReMove) a file, you would have to run 'su', 'rwsystem' , find the file, ( using the 'cd' command and 'ls' command to Change Directory, and LiSt the files and directories ), then 'rm filename' to remove it. Finally 'rosystem' to restore the system to Read Only.

Yes you could do it with a script, bit afaik an update tar would only copy a script to the device, you'd still have to execute it yourself, probably using... a terminal emulator ;)

( for those interested in this, have a read up on basic linux file system commands ).

@nmaster: that is perfectly normal output, it's pretty much what is in my bootlog.txt.

When booting android there is a pretty long pause which sometimes makes people think it has stopped booting, this is especially noticeable on first boot when the system is initialising stuff for the first time, please be patient, it should continue to boot after a while, showing the boot animation, then finally the setup screen.

I tried something to combat the delayed contact information display time during an incoming call; try and change the ring tone you are using at the moment. I chose something that seemed to start ringing quicker...

Solved! Contact info now displays in about three-five seconds opposed to 15 seconds...

Look inside my androidupdate.tar and you will see how it was done. (For some reason the Full Market hack refuses to work when installed to /data/app_s)

EDIT: If you're interested, this is how our init is setup. Makes updates, setup and customization much easier.

2. Install Android

3. boot

4. skip wizzard

5. wait 5 minute

6. Turn off and on

7. Flash NBH from "UPDATE 23 Mar 2010"

8. install BT_Update

9. boot

10. turn off

11. install market update

Variante 2:

1. Flash NBH from "UPDATE 23 Mar 2010"

2. Install Android

3. boot

4. skip wizzard

5. wait 5 minute

6. Turn off and on

7. install BT_Update

8. boot

9. turn off

10. install market update

which way is the right one?

i took the second. but i get the error that the systems hangs at startup. there i can choose between "wait" and to kill the task. is it because i didn't flash the nbh from SourceForge?

Extra Storage

I just reflashed my kaiser. This time I installed the sys to nand and data to EXT2 Data.img. This freed around 150+ MB of phone storage. So I have a little room to play with and try out some apps. All the apps work fine that were in the andriodinstall.tgz /data/app folder.

So I'm wondering, if I add a ton of apps to the androidinstall.tgz /data/app folder, would these apps be installed to and run off of the data.img on the sd card as well?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] chow_chow:
I have the same problem too.

Wifi works with version 2.1g from 4. MAR and zImage-eclair from 20 FEB. When I install the BT Update or newer zImage, Wifi can't find a network.

With the old zImage BT does not work (even with upgrade).

I tried many different setups (with old or newer wlan.ko and tiwlan.ini) and radios.

BTW. why is wlan.ko in /etc and in /lib/modules ?

Touch Screen Calibration

Is anyone else having issues with the touch screen calibration? It seems to drift after a soft reset. This wasn't a big deal before because I'd just recalibrate it, but recently (I think it was after applying market fix-which worked beautifully) the calibration app would force close when I click the 2nd red dot. Has anybody seen this? I've got a vogue btw
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
your calibration app works???

I have never had a build that the app didn't immediately FC.

I just checked again to see if maybe somewhere along the line it was fixed.

I always use the pointer location setting in dev tools.

but to be honest I rarely need to make any adjustments.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] robuser007:
Still no package and the weekend is almost over (it's 11 pm here) :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] remora9595:
Yeah, it always worked fine before but now it force closes when I click the 2nd dot. I can use to pointer location to see how far off the calibration is, but I can't correct it. The point where it registers is like ~1/2 cm below where I touch on the screen so I can compensate for most interactions, but I can't hit the notification bar anymore and using the virtual keyboard is a pain. I could probably just a reinstall.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
you can set pointer with pointer location by holding the camera button and touching the four corners starting at top left and proceed clockwise until you reach top left again.

then release the camera button and check to see if it is tracking correctly.

sometimes it takes a few times to get it right.

I often mess it up pretty good before I get it to where I want it.

but it's not hard to fix because you just need to hold the camera button again and start over.

Actually I couldn't restore the old Vending.apk unless I copied it from /data/app_s to /system/app. Deleting the new version didn't bring the old one back. The rwsystem and rosystem was very handy indeed.

I know that. What I meant was if there was some built in functionality into the update process. Like executing a script called update.sh if it was found in the tar-file. I was curious if it could be automated. I this case it could actually as replacing /system/app/Vending.apk seems to be the way to go.

WLAN + BT problem

Hi, as a newbie here in this forum I want to introduce myself briefly. My Name is Gerhard, I am from Salzburg, Austria and I appreciate your work very much! I follow the development of the android software for htc kaiser for more than half a year.

Now I use the polymod 2.1g Full Market Update, also the BT update and the latest zImage. But WLAN and BT don't work! In the "Status" Section WLAN-MAC-Address and BT Address is shown as "not available". The phone tries to scan for wlan but doesn't find one; I can't add a new wlan network because of the missing mac address

So, do you have any suggestions on that? I prefer using wlan at home because it's faster and I don't need to pay the provider.

Thanks for helping
