no you're completely right.

Once I get things ironed out with the installer, and after I've gotten some more feedback, I'll put it together with two zip downloads, one for NAND installation and one for haret/SD installation.
[Touch CDMA General] arleybarros:
Since the vibration was disabled (2009-09-22) all the builds works almost like vogue, except for:

Camera: never worked, maybe because the drivers are diferent or because nike camera max resolutuion is 2MP (force close)

Bluetooth: never worked, maybe drivers

Vibration: disabled

everythig else works perfect.
[Touch CDMA General] wdbanks:
I think this is a good idea too..thanks.

Im having trouble with data connection. it was one for a moment then stopped. Any suggestions?

Never mind I got it working. It was turned off in the settings. great build!
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
I'll make this nandable and post soon. :)
[Touch CDMA General] bandur:
got it booted - without ext partitions

I am really looking forward to this, but get the same result as lauyanyameric on my Kaiser, afterwards I am dropped to shell .... Anything I can do to help debug?

Tried it without partition, and I get data error and it created a 34 mb data.img.

Tried with a blank data.img (no partitions) and I was able to boot!

Grateful for your work! Thanks.
[Touch CDMA General] arleybarros:
try formating your sd card again...
[Touch CDMA General] nabicat:
So far, so great.

Running via Haret and this is working superbly. Everything that should be working, is working.

So far have tested audio, data, GPS, camera (via Camera Pro), and apps such as Voice Search, Exchange Sync, Market and they all work and are quite responsive.

Noticed a few rosie reloads after using memory intensive apps, so I added a 32mb swap in the conf file. So far no more rosie reloads.

Also, the USB to PC app doesn't appear to like my work machine. Not sure if this is an issue with the desktop or the app.

Will be flashing to NAND after a bit more testing.

Thanks again Jesse!

Cheers

First off thanks for all the hard work you and others have done bringing android to the vogue. I have donut running off of nand right now and love it but am wanting to try this build but have no idea how to reflash it on there. i have tried searching and searching but i havent found a good answer on how to do it.
[Touch CDMA General] wdbanks:
Im getting the Rosie reloads too... how do you add the 32mb swap or better yet can you just upload your conf file? Thanks
[Touch CDMA General] gjbnh:
Thank you :) I think doing this will add a layer of usability to the releases, and gain a greater community of users as a result. Personally I would rather have releases further apart in time with this kind of thing rather than a rush to try the newest toy. :)
[Touch CDMA General] detour522:
jamezelle, i am using the tattoo.user.conf you posted but i am still getting the loading message just about every time. i don't know if this makes any difference but i am using rootfs 2010-01-06a because i was getting the "Failed to allocage storage" issue. do you have any recommendations? will partitioning my SD card improve this situation?

EDIT: well... nevermind... i rebooted it once and now its working beautifully!
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
ok, if you have the files in "/android" on your sdcard then the tattoo.user.conf file belongs in "/android/conf" . if you have the files just on the root "/" of your sdcard then the tattoo.user.conf file goes in "/conf"

when you are booting into android pay attention to the last line be for you see

A N D R O I D

you should see it say something like

Tattoo build detected
Using init.tattoo.rc as init.rc
Using tattoo.user.conf as user.conf

or something like that, if you dont see the bit about the tattoo.user.conf then it didnt load it and it isnt in the right place

hi,

i'm trying to get it working on my HTC tytn II.

an old build (2 months) worked for me, but i could only hear and not speak while calling (i have read somewhere that i need to upgrade firmware to resolve this).

i tried a new build, and if i try the latest rootfs i get complaints about read only filesystem /sdcard while trying to create data.img. if i try the before-last rootfs, i get see the android waving at bootup, then i see the "HTC" logo moving, then i get a blank screen (backlight still on) and nothing anymore. i waited for 5min..

anyone saw something similar ? known issue ?

greetings,

frank

Nand Install

jamezelle,

Is there any reason why I can not receive picture messages? Does or is the usb to computer connection work? I can't get it to work for.
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
1. AFAIK picture messaging doesnt work on android, best bet would be to email the pic :(,

2. you can only use adb when connected to computer, the usb to computer app doesnt work for us.
[Touch CDMA General] detour522:
yes sir... i have verified that those lines appear near the end but it still lags occasionally. maybe i should just go back to the donut build... but i need my exchange contacts to sync... i guess i will keep trying different builds. thx again for your time.
[Touch CDMA General] benutne:
I gave up on getting my Exchange mail working in any build and just bought Moxier Mail. I really wish they had widgets though.
[Touch CDMA General] benutne:
I haven't. But then again, I'm running this build from NAND like jamezelle.
[Touch CDMA General] detour522:
exchange mail isn't too hard. i think even the donut build has an app called "work email" that supports IMAP connection. exchange calendar sync isn't too hard either because there is a program called "google calendar sync" which syncs your exchange calendar to the google calendar. the difficult part is the exchange contacts list. i have about 400 entries and i really want them to be in sync with my android phone but the donut build doesn't support this feature and none of the sense builds are too slow for daily use....
[Touch CDMA General] kervel:
hi,

i did some more testing with android on htc (TYTN II). i always just put everything on the root of sdcard which is fat32

rootfs-2010-01-07.zip -- rootfs remains read-only and doesn't continue booting (data.img: read only filesystem). maybe fsck missing ? i tried switching back and forth between this and 2010-01-06a, its 100% reproducible

rootfs-2010-01-06a.zip -- i see FSCK happening, filesystems come by, i see "A N D R O I D" and i see waving robot + HTC blinking. then blank screen with backlight on, no more reactions to keypresses (except FN key which still lights up fn light)

i use zImage from 2009-12-14, system-tattoo-2010-01-05.sqsh, and tattoo.user.conf, and basefiles-20091116.zip.

i did it the following way:

unzip basefiles

replace zImage with the one i downloaded (also tried stock zimage, no difference)

put rootfs.img (the one i downloaded)

put system.sqsh (the one i downloaded)

put downloaded tattoo.user.conf in conf/ folder

copy everything to the root of my SD card using built in samba client of winmobile (takes ages but works)

changed default.txt to match screen type

i wonder if there is a way to debug this further.

btw, is there any relation between the androidhtc sourceforge project and androidonhtc dot com ?

[edit]

ok got it working.. turned out i am completely using wrong release. now i have no audio i guess i need to update the radio of my kaiser
[Touch CDMA General] BigBadBuu:
Is this still under developement? I'm eager to try a NAND version of this marvelous piece of deliciousness...
[Touch CDMA General] sassagelink:
Installing on NAND

I would like to flash andriod to my phones NAND. I downloaded the andriod install folder and have read the instructions but since I'm a newbie and still don't understand most of this stuff I'm a little afraid to try it.

How do I know if I have the HardSPL installed?

If something goes wrong during installation how would I get winmo back on if needed?

Is the NAND version the HTC sense/hero build?

I would like to try and do it this weekend but I need some guidance too make sure I do it right the first time. This is my only phone and I would not want to screw it up.

Thanks
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
You need to have installed icoke before you can upgrade your rom. If you've already done that, no problem you're ready to go. As for going back to winmo, you just have to reflash a winmo rom.
[Touch CDMA General] drewden123:
Can you export your exhange contacts to .csv format? I did that from outlook and then signed into gmail on my computer, imported the csv into gmail contacts, then synced my phone with google contacts
[Touch CDMA General] vilord:
This is still under development, yes. We're working on getting more space available to the system, and a cleaner way to install... the current rootfs is quite confusing for many people.
[Touch CDMA General] BigBadBuu:
Good to hear, man--excellent!

I'm currently running off of a class 6 SDCARD and very happy save the following:

- phone locks up on long calls; it doesn't disconnect, but everything freezes

- contacts don't show on caller ID

- device not recognized by the PC (at least the sdcard isn't)

- newest rootfs makes sdcard invisible to the system

Otherwise, I think everything's great--system's easy enough to install. Perhaps the biggest problem facing people is the 'mix & match' process needed to get any given Android build to work. Compare to winmo, where its standard practice to simply pack & deliver a single executable.
[Touch CDMA General] Carrick1973:
Vilord and jamezelle,

Thank you both so much for your work on these builds. They are really awesome. Running off of SD now due to out of space errors when trying to run off of NAND. Looking forward to a NAND version of this great looking build.

Thanks
[Touch CDMA General] nabicat:
The changes I made to the conf file are below. Basically just created a small swapfile and modified the virtual memory "swappiness" parameter.

#create swap file for compcache or linux swap
swap_file{
swap_file_en=1 # set to 1 to create swap file
# set to 0 to del the swap file
linux_swap_file_size=32 # swap file size in MB
linux_swap_file=/sdcard/swapfile # pointing to the swap file location ( must be /system/sd/)
}

#virtual memory
sys_vm{
sys_vm_en=1 # enable(1) or disable(0) virtual memory configurations
swappiness=60 # default 60
[Touch CDMA General] mrkite38:
I had this same issue. Rebooting into winmo and relaunching haret worked.
[Touch CDMA General] trojanv:
Im confused about Swap

So you added this Swap to the Config. how'd you do that? i cant even open my Config file. i dont understand. Sorry if i suck at this.
[Touch CDMA General] vilord:
okay Craig found the problem for me that was causing the bootup issues, will repost the rootfs this evening with the fix.

To make swap just edit the eclair.user.conf file with wordpad or something, and change things to match the above.

FYI I wouldn't recommend using both compcache and a swap file... would be better to add a small partition to your SD card and then set up compcache to use that partition for backingswap.

Don't make it too big, like 32MB is a good size... if you give android 256MB of ram and swap to use, it'll use it, and then every app on the planet will be running in the background, and things will slow to a crawl. The current memfree limitations cause it to restrict multiple apps from running at the same time which is good for our poor old processors.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
Running good so far. Make sure your turn off wireless networks in the location settings to avoid reset/lockup when first using maps on vogue.
[Touch CDMA General] nabicat:
Since I'm booting using Haret, I usually modify the conf files from my Windows PC before booting to Android. I just open the file in the CONF folder using wordpad and save it back to the same location.

The tattoo.conf file is in the CONF folder on the SD card.

If you are using NAND, you'll need a file browser like ASTRO to navigate to the conf folder and edit the file from Android. Or perhaps through the terminal, but I've never done it that way. Or go into "recovery" mode and mount the sd as a mass storage device and modify the way I normally do above.
[Touch CDMA General] trojanv:
oh ok, Thanks it was very helpful. You guys do great work keep it up.:D
[Touch CDMA General] bmessina:
I went ahead and put this on nand without any modifications. It works mostly well, other than sense constantly restarting and not being able to sign in to my google account. "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server.", it says. Data works fine everywhere else - browser, etc.

Otherwise, I love it.
[Touch CDMA General] sshark:
Is tattoo donut or cupcake?
[Touch CDMA General] bandur:
I have been using this for a couple of hours. I added swap which improved speed a bit, and I use taskiller to kill off unnecessary processes.

Initially I had problems with data, but switching it off and on after adding the APN information manually worked.

Don't know why, but my AndroidApp apps do not show among the programs in the pull-up curtain, but are available if I want to add a shortcut to the home screen.

Great work!
[Touch CDMA General] plemen:
This works quite well with just compcache enabled - and no force closes!! Great job Jesse. Issues I've noticed:

- Power widget buttons don't toggle - they seem to work but the visuals don't update

- incoming call doesn't show name of person from contacts (this seems to be common to all Hero builds)

I'm assuming you updated the RIL to make this build not force close - do the RIL updates at all benefit regular donut/eclair builds as well?

Thanks - really nice to have a working Tattoo build.
[Touch CDMA General] wdbanks:
Im having an issue I cant figure out. When I attach my earbuds with microphone for hands free talking...I can hear the conversation fine but cannot be heard. I have had this issue with a few builds now. Its not a hardware issue because it works fine on the winmo side. How can this be fixed? Id have perfect everyday usage if I could get this together.

Thanks
[Touch CDMA General] skydirt:
I'd also like to know this.

Is this donut? and if so, can we run googles NAV?
[Touch CDMA General] Hakukoru:
So I can see the 2 latest versions of rootfs on Sourceforge (rootfs-2010-01-05.zip and rootfs-2010-01-05a.zip), but which one is which?

Also, I did a small modification on the previous build of rootfs that allowed me to press VolDn during boot to have it boot off SD (non partitioned). What are the chances that something similar could be done with the latest version, as a permanent thing? I like *not* having WinMo on my phone, so I would like to be able to test new builds by just pressing VolDn during boot, or maybe putting a temporary "bootfromsd" file on my SD card.
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
Cupcake AFAIK
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
That sounds awesome to try temporary builds. I use partitions and not nand, but it would serve the same purpose for me.
[Touch CDMA General] Hakukoru:
Otherwise maybe instead of a "bootfromsd" file, a "bootfrom" file containing your preference. I think the ideal setup would be as follows:

Check for SD

.....Not Present: Check for root/system/data on NAND

..........Not Present: Echo "No system present"

..........Present: Boot from NAND, as it's the only system available

.....Present: Check for "bootpref" file on SD card

..........Not Present: Boot from NAND by default anyways

..........Present: Boot whatever setting is chosen within "bootpref"

Also, within "bootpref" could be an option to enable/disable install mode, so if it's disabled there wouldn't be a prompt to press VolDn to install... or an option of where to install to (either to NAND or to partitions). It could also include an option to enable/disable backups, as well as a prefered location/filename for each.
[Touch CDMA General] Hakukoru:
Actually, disregard everything I just said, as I've been going through the init file and it's already got an excellent setup ^^;
[Touch CDMA General] stanelie:
Sipdroid no longer works with this version. I think it is looking for a suitable data connection without finding it.
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:

[Touch CDMA General] pmcnano:
Mh Vilord just so you know with the rootfs of today the rootfs-a i just get gprs in my kaiser no 3g at all
[Touch CDMA General] bri3d:
I never get the "3G" icon on my Vogue either (do with other builds - builds though, not rootfs, the rootfs seems the same), but it's connected to EVDO and I get EVDO speeds, so make sure that's not the case on your Kaiser as well.

This system is neat - cool to have SenseUI and Maps Nav in a mostly-stable build.

The weather+clock in Rosie wants network location and refuses to let me coerce it into having a location manually, though, which is annoying. Otherwise this build has worked nicely for me so far - not the fastest ever but no SenseUI I've used (even on real Tattoo/Hero) is. It's totally usable with compcache on (like in the tattoo.user.conf on sourceforge).

HTC_IME from Hero can be stripped of its HTC framework deps, so I'm hoping the Tattoo one can too (haven't looked at it yet though) for a 320x240 HTC_IME on stock Donut builds.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
If i'm not mistaken European builds use G and H not 3G and E like your used to seeing.
[Touch CDMA General] vilord:
okay rootfs updated to take care of some edge cases and to fix that installation error.

The G notification doesn't mean its running at GPRS or 1xRTT speeds, it is still running at full 3G speeds, but for some reason they changed the notification messaging in the back-end, and I'll need to adjust it.

by the way, with my rootfs' if you put a system.sqsh in your android folder, it'll boot that with a new data image instead of nand or SD... and when you run the installer (voldn when prompted) if will ask if you want to put stuff on nand or on SD partitions (if you have both).

EDIT: also there is now a "default" user.conf included in the rootfs, so if you move/rename your conf folder, it should load that one. I find it to be slower and it bogs down, but rosie doesn't reload... I prefer fast so I don't really use it
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
My mistake then. I assumed it was like other Hero builds, or at least the ones I have used where I can set the red button to go to home, then sleep which doesnt work in donut. :p
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
So the same installation system is in, but if there is an extra system image, it will just go to that and ignore the partitions if nothing is pressed? And if no image is present it will load from the partitions?

Sounds great.
[Touch CDMA General] amunir:
very good.. looks stable and its good to see a hero build that doesnt do that annoying txt msg thing.. but its a bit on the slow side.. maybe im doing somethin wrong??

Could anyone please post a data.img?

I'm stuck "Press and hold the target to calibrate your screen"

However, there is no target to press and I can't get past that point.

Thanks
[Touch CDMA General] bri3d:
I just waited a few minutes (logcat indicated services were still starting), then tapped the screen at random 4-5 times and I got past. I think it's failing to render the crosshairs for some reason.

Then I calibrated the real touchscreen using the Calibrate Screen app, and the HTC keyboard (which is what that particular calibration screen is calibrating anyway) via its settings menu, and everything is well.
[Touch CDMA General] Hakukoru:
Alright, I've run into an issue. I've got the latest 240x320 nand boot rom, and the latest rootfs.img that you just posted. I was previously running "system_v242_heroblend.sqsh" from nand, and when trying to upgrade to your tattoo rom, it fubars my nand setup. I see several complaints about system being read-only, and then it tells me upgrade is complete. Then upon rebooting it fails at the very beginning, and says it's starting ADB (which never starts).

I think for now I'll stick to systemfstonand ^^;

That issue aside however, I did test your new Tattoo build off of my sdcard (non partitioned), and I gotta say, A+ =D
[Touch CDMA General] vilord:
I was originally going to just remove the calibration app, but it was required by the next step in the process.

It is actually calibrating the screen, but the calibration data doesn't go anywhere, as it is meant for the TS driver on the tattoo.

So just tap and hold on the screen 6 times at random if you don't see the crosshairs (middle, topleft, topright, middle, bottomleft, bottomright)
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
thanks, umm so which is the good one the 01-06 or the 01-06a

thanks again
[Touch CDMA General] pmcnano:
Mh..sorry to say it again, but im not sure about that, (though, I didnt tested speed)..but....I used your build, didnt liked it, too slow for me (THOUGH IS THE FASTEST SENSEUI BUILD I HAVE TRIED AT ALL..) returned to donut with the rootfs and got "g".....changed back to the other rootfs and got 3g..:S weird..

I have it running lovely off of a partitioned SD card.

I, however, have one little problem--the keyboard. It defaults to the keypad layout and even then is off-center.

Any insights on this?
[Touch CDMA General] ajclai08:
your lcd.density is set to 110. Just leave that out of the default.txt, and it will default to 120. You won't have to worry about the core apps that dont scale at that setting since those apps are replaced.

[Touch CDMA General] Reddog80p:
Blank data img please..
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
You shouldn't really need one with this build. It is only slow in the beginning while Android scans your SD card for media.

At this time you can't.

The battery drain is a problem with the system image from the sdk. There is a bug or something that causes the phone to never to go sleep. When you hit the power button, the screen just turns off, but everything else still runs at full power.

Does anyone know how to disable the startup sounds when the Android logo shows up? It is really loud on my phone.

Also, I noticed that some apps don't show up in the Market like Facebook and Palringo but I've seen it before in the Market in a donut build. Could someone help me figure out how to get to these apps?

Unsquash it and in the folder media/bootscreen there is a file boot_animation.xml edit it and replace useAudio="1" with useAudio="0", then resquash.
[Touch CDMA General] Kiiv:
Is there a way to change this file after the system is installed?

I found the file in "/system/media/bootscreen" but the file seemed to be read-only. Even if I save the changes, the value stays "1".
