If you wish to install on Nand, you must be able to flash the ROM, which needs HardSPL and CID unlock, however you can safely run Android from SD card using Haret, this does not affect WM in any way, and has no risk of bricking, all you need is an SD card, 2Gb or more is best.

The Haret method also gives you a chance to find out what panel type and keyboard layout suits your device, so that you know what nbh filke to choose when it's time to flash to Nand.

Once the phone is yours, you will have to read up on flashing custom Roms, I recommend this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=433835, which will guide you through the process safely, one step at a time :)

Ringtone latency & wlan

Hi guys,

I've been using 2.1 for a few weeks now but I'm still having a few issues:

1. wifi work only half the time: I solved this by running the tiwlan update against the 2.1 a/b build, this kinda solves the problem (wlan is stable) but but phone runs quite hot.

2. More Important: when people call me, the phone starts to vibrate quite soon, but the ringtone takes about 10 seconds to start, this is quite a big problem because by the time I know someone is calling they're being send to my voicemail.

Any solution for the second problem ? I thought I read about this problem somewhere in the thread but can't find the post anymore.

some info: I'm using a HTC TytnII; radio: eMo 1.71; running from microsd with 2 ext2 partitions and some swap.

It doen't have this "ringtone latency when I'm in WM, so it seems to be unrelated to the radio rom
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] colognerunner:
Thanx for your hints. I would love to do the NAND install a.s.a.p., but as I understood, I am currently unable to do it with a netlocked device right ?

Dont understand me wrong, I would go for the risk of bricking the device and it will be my fault when I am doing something wrong (in fact I flashed a HTC Herald successfully to a Touch ROM Version of WM 6.5). I am only worried about the impact of the NetLock.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Hamburg:
You're not getting any help because you're not providing any useful information that can lead to anyone solving your issue. "I tried to install it and it froze" is clearly not going to get you anywhere. Try again and provide DETAILS!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Polarfuchs:
pushed up

I need to set paneltype after installation, because the board-htcpolaris.panel_type did miss while installation. And after installation the default.txt doesn't do anything.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Ok if you really wish to flash to nand you will have to install HardSPL, CID unlock and Sim unlock, you could just go for Hardspl alone, but I'd recommend all 3, once you do this you won't have to worry about locks anyway.

My preferred choice would be Olipro's unlocker from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=375583

This neatly does all 3 in one handy package, once this is done I'd get a stock HTC rom from the Kaiser Wiki Page, just in case ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
I see one possible problem, you should rename default-kaiser.txt to default.txt, not default.exe

Please carefully read the install instructions, go slow, one step at a time, one of the biggest problems faced is trying to do things too fast.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
Hello everyone, much thanks for all the support -- and I've got more coming soon!

@binlabin: Great idea, please continue with the Wiki, it's looking good!

@zenity: You are learning about Android ROM building -- there is a LOT that can be changed :D

@Polarfuchs: To change panel type after boot for the Polaris, you can enter this in terminal:

su
echo 1 > /sys/module/board_htcpolaris/parameters/panel_type

(change 1 to 2 or 3, for the different panel types)

This also works with board_htcvogue or board_htckaiser. (good tip for the Wiki!)

@frinkazoid: The phone is faster in the next build, but it is an issue we are working on for all of OpenEclair. What ringtone are you using? A large mp3 can be slow to load. Also, swap seems really slow with this build, turning off swap should be a noticeable improvement.

Now that several users have reported the WiFi settings that work for them, I'll release a few androidupdate.tar so you can choose between low, medium, and high-power WiFi settings, whatever works best for you. The next version will also come in regular and dark-themed, I'm porting Zapote21's Zapmix now. My OpenEclair 1.2.2 port has been running strong for ~48 hours, it's faster yet again and has some new features. I've started working more closely with the OE team to bring you the Kaiser port as close as possible to the OE release. Also, I'm taking a look at Bluetooth -- I think some kernel changes need to be made, let me know if anyone wants to help.

Once I make some edits to get the 1.2.2 dialer QVGA-compatible I'll be able to release. Here's a dark-themed teaser screenshot in the meantime:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
This is so much fun, but you know I'm going to break it sometime, lol....

On another subject, my favourite editor on linux has always been nano, which is in our build, however libncurses.so is not, I'm guessing I'm going to have to bite the bullet and install a cross-compile toolchain on my linux laptop in the near future, and start some serious learning, or is there another source for that lib?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
Other OE users have requested libncurses.so for OE, if I can find it I'll make sure it goes into the next release. There's probably a compatible libncurses.so out there, I'd have to look.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
That'd be great, if you need any help testing a candidate lib let me know, worst case, I'd have to reinstall :D

Almost ready now to put aside my main phone, ( the diamond ), and migrate to full time Polymod Kaiser :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Polarfuchs:
@polyrythmic

I have android running on the SD card.

Because at nearly every boot up of android via Haret I get the "error waiting for notbusy" I want to edit the paneltype in Linux on my PC.

I want to insert my SD card into my pc and run your command from linux.

But on the two ext2 partitions on the SD card I can find the folder structure you mentioned /sys/module/board_htcpolaris/parameters
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] fabris:
Could you tell me anybody if it is possible to use the HTC sync to synchronize with MS Outlook? Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Unfortunatly at present we cannot use HTC Sync on non-native Android devices. one day it will be possible I'm sure, but not yet....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
If you're running from SD card, change your paneltype in the default.txt before you boot -- the paneltype is not saved in your installation. You can only change paneltype with the 'echo' command by using Terminal on your Polaris, after boot, those directories are pointers to kernel modules, they only exist in your Polaris RAM, they are created by the kernel during boot.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Polarfuchs:
OK, now I understand.

But even though I edited it in default.txt I have many "error waiting for notbusy".

Can you say something on that issue?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
@Polarfuchs: That means there's an error in the i2c bus, unfortunately according to the kernel dev phh "anything" could cause that error -- Blackstone users have this problem a lot. Perhaps the ROM or the running tasks in WM could affect your HaRET boot? If phh can't solve the problem, I doubt I can, unfortunately.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] lggyxx:
ok so few corrections. I followed the tutorial pretty well

Im using the 1.70.09.1 radio

hard spl 3.29

I install the haret.zip from sourceforge

I renamed default-kaiser to default.txt

i formatted my sd drive to fat32

i put the files into my sd card along with the latest android installer

i boot the haret.exe and the page where it says run freezes. It loads and says "Booting into linux" but it freezes

I press the reset button to go back into wm mobile after

Anything else to help my problem please let me know

Wow! You've got to be the first person I've heard proclaim ditching their diamond for going back to kaiser. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Polarfuchs:
I keep asking in this thread, because obviously it is meant to work on polaris.

So, I quit nearly every process,application and service with fdc task manager but I still get

The weird thing is, I was able to boot to android after 2-3 times of trying.

But, for some reason I don't know, I can't boot to android since today. Because every time I get the error mentioned above.

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

Update!!!

I just sat there for 2-3 Minutes surfing the web. Then I looked at my Polaris, which I left with the "error waiting for notbusy". That error was repeated, so it looks like there is an infinite retry.

But suddenly after letting the phone try I see the android startup animation. :eek:

But it loads very long time and then an android popup appears.

It says:

Now I can force quit or wait.

But the touchscreen doesn't work. I can only press force quit with the center d-pad. After that I only have a black screen and the illumination of the keys stays on.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
Don't press 'Force quit', press 'wait'. Then leave it alone for ~5 minutes and it should be ready to start using.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Polarfuchs:
Ok.

I did tun haret again. It took 16 tries and 202 seconds until the android boot animation showed up.

The animation lasted about 5-6 minutes and then the pop up came and I pressed wait.

I waited for about 15 Minutes but nothing changed. Only black illuminated screen and enlightened hardware buttons.

slow respond

i'm using the latest 2.1b and is succes fully run in my fat32 SD card...all smooth during installation...all good and booted into the android...but....i found some problem issues like below....

1) it is very slow in any respond i click...i need several seconds to enter setting when i clicked setting...not only this...

2) when i wanted to write message, i click to compose but need to wait for the on screen keyboard to pop up which need about 5 seconds...

3) i press contact and start calling...the screen is black and after 3-5 seconds, my fren phone start ringing but my screen still in blank and only show up the calling screen after another 2-3 seconds...

is it normal for this build??? sorry for any inconvenience. :o
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] supperbas:
I posted this before but let me post it again

I have the exact same problems as the user above me.

If you kill all running background processes it's much faster but it still takes a few seconds.

Also 'random' background processes load while my device is in sleep mode anyone knows how to disable that?

But the problem I posted earlier is, the clock application

Sometimes I set my alarm and everything works fine, but sometimes it just doesn't go off and there is no clear indication why. it looks like the phone doesn't "wake up" so to say.

I didn't have that problem with the old alarm application, anyone knows what's the fix for this or why it doesn't go off and sometimes it does? (even if it doesn't go off it still shows up in the status bar so I can never tell in advance if it will go off or not)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Oijkn:

What's wrong ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] colognerunner:
I installed polymod on my Kaiser. First I had some trouble with partitioning of the sd card, but at last, I get it up and running.

System looked amazing on my HTC. It was a bit slow (at least on my class 2 microSD) so I decided to install it into NAND.

I flashed the KAISIMG-PANEL1-320.NBH from the SF site and followed the great written instructions here xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5602064&postcount=1195

So far everything went fine. But when Eclair was up and running, the graphics look awful. There are a lot of pixel error and distortions on the screen.

The System I started from SD looked a lot better an all graphics where sharp and clear.

What did I wrong ? Was it the wrong panel NBH ? How can I change this now ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Wrong panel type, download another nbh for a different panel type, flash that one and restart, you do not have to reinstall, just flash the nbh :)

If you still have the default.txt you used to run from SD it should have the panel type in the cmdline, use the same panel type nbh.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Not used this, but I know it can take a while for the SD card to show up, give it a while, see what happens.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Oijkn:
i give it a while but nothing happens, i test with dev usb on an off but nothing.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] colognerunner:
Thanx for your quick answer. Maybe this is a stupid question, but how do I flash the new nbh file ? I flashed the first from WM. But this OS is history now ;-)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Oijkn:
What is the difference between :

KAISIMG-PANEL1-428.NBH

KAISIMG-PANEL1-480.NBH

KAISIMG-PANEL1-320.NBH

And panel 1/2/3 ????

Thx
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Polarfuchs:
The 3 nbh's you mentioned are in different screen resolution,

KAISIMG-PANEL1-320.NBH for example is 320*240px

And Panel 1,2,3 are three different Panel (LCD) Manufacturers.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Oijkn:
Ok thx you very much, it's more easy now, i understand.

Do you know what is the better panel for my kaiser (1,2 or3)?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Polarfuchs:
No, I don't know that.

On my Polaris it is type 1.

On the o2 version it is type 2.

@colognerunner:

Can you still enter bootloader mode? ( pull battery, remove SD card, power on, hold camera button until you get the tricolour screen).

If so get on the wiki.

find the newest ROM for your provider.

download that.

disable activesync.

attach phone to usb, check it says USB at the bottom of the screen.

flash the stock rom you downloaded.

That will get you back to stock WM.

I don't know why you downloaded Hardspl again, all you needed to do was copy one of the nbh files to SD, rename it to KAISimg.nbh, then start the phone with camera button held down, this would have installed the nbh from SD.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Dude, you really need to post more information.

What do you need help with?

If you are referring to the question you asked a few pages ago, there were a number of answers, but you really didn't give enough details for much more than guessing.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mzoller:
@colognerunner:

If you already appllied the HardSPL (which you should have done already):

* Rename the nbh to KAISIMG.nbh (on the sdcard root)

* then press and hold the camera button and reset the phone with your stylus

The tricolor screen will appear and shortly afterward a grey screen will prompt you to press the power button to flash the new rom on the sdcard.

Use the same method to flash back to winmo if you so choose.

strange problem

hey...

my phone just randomly hung up when i tried to reboot i get a wired error message

i found out that its a framework problem...

i tried reinstalling android but i get errors and even when it installes i have the same problem...

anyone having any ideas?

i don know that it is because of my /data

i tried wiping /data and then it worked...

so it could work...

but it wouldnt be that good to loos all my data again...

so anyone having any ideas how to change just a few things in the data.img...?

Need to mention that Feb 14th commit of NoMoRootfs from vlord was commented "Add support for .tgz install/update files". So those using haret like I do can drop the androidupdate.tgz in /andboot folder of your SD, call up the menu booting up and select the update. Post back how it works out.

GPS experiences

I went to Denmark this weekend and took the opportunity of evaluating GPS functionality without the use of data traffic. I quickly found out that the only applications able to use the GPS without freezing and rebooting Android (though not the phone itself) were the Nav and Maps apps from Google. I tested My tracks, GPS status and MapDroyd and as soon as the GPS started to try and get its location it froze and/rebooted Android. It did not matter if I had used Maps to get a lock on my position first, everything else other than Nav and Maps gave the same results. I'm still on my trip on my way home and haven't read up on the thread. I'll get to it when I arrive though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Or if using a dzo nbh, you can extract the tar file and drop it in /andboot also.

Nano now stopped complaining about the missing lib, now I need to find out why it's exiting with 'Error opening terminal: unknown.' suspect something is not passing or setting something, might try a different terminal.

: Ok nano needs terminfo, which isn't in /system/etc. sysinit.rc exports the TERMINFO path, so nano is probably looking for this file, gonna do some more research on this

: update, Finally found a terminfo database, added a line in sysinit.rc, put it all in an update tar file, uploading now, nano works, now I have to find a way to get the commands to work.

: New Nano update tarball : Nano with Terminfo and sysinit update
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] usatraveler:
I have exactly the same results. In addition, GPS in Maps/Nav is very intermittent. Some days, almost immediate lock. In a few other situations, no lock until giving up after near two or three hours. I'd had a different radio than the specified one, but even after updating the radio, I have the same crash issue. I'll test for the no-lock issue today. So far, GPS had locked in maybe 30% of my attempts.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Raymongo:
I can also confirm the random processes load while in sleep mode.

About the clock application, I found the reason why it fails to sett-off the alarm. The problem ia after having set the alarm and you then kill all running processes you also kill the alarm. But if the do not kill the processes after setting the alarm, the alarm will go of for sure. I've repeated both ways many times to be sure.
