I finally got it up and running on my phone too bad i cant do much since my phone is deactivated. It that bottom bar the same as the Tatoo? I think the button for the phone looks pretty bad but that is just my opinion

So does the gps work on a deactivated phone? I cant really find anything to do with it unless i find a program I can install from the sd card with all the maps precached

I just wanna add wow this is fast, I ran android off the sd card quite a bit and this is a whole different experience entirely.

Last question if the .nbh is renamed to VOGUIMG.nbh would flashing from the sd card work? I am not a fan of activesync.

Unable to flash to NAND

Okay, I've tried this close to a dozen times, and I'm at a loss trying to flash to NAND.

To preface, I had everything running fine on SD, and now I'm trying to flash the NAND version.

I've downloaded the NAND zip, extracted it to my SD, so I have an /android folder. I replaced tattoo.user.conf with the proper version. So my SD is ready to go. (And I've also discovered that the contents of /android are modified each time I try to flash, so delete the previous /android and copy it fresh again each time).

I flash voguimg-240x320-14-01-10.nbh to the device, and boot into that. I see some errors when that boots, the last being:

umount: can't umount /sdcard: Device or resource busy

Then it displays RootFS has changed and tells me to reboot to install.

Next time around I get errors after entering the installer, like:

cp: cannot create directory '/system/framework': Read-only file system

When I install the new data.img it says that block 865 is bad.

I've downloaded the NAND twice and did a windiff on the data.imgs and they are identical.

Oh, SD is FAT32 and has been scanned for errors, and as I already mentioned, I can run the SD card version off of this card fine. The first the I boot into the installer it creates a /android/backupsystem directory and moves data.img into it.

After the whole install process is complete I get the following error when I boot:

ext2fs_check_if_mount: No such file or directory while determining whether /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 is mounted.

Any suggestions? Also, how much faster is NAND than running off of SD?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] berardi:
Ok so I decided to try it out after being on Plemen's Donut AOSP for a long time. (Been happy, just was bored and felt like screwing around with something new)

About installation - I too had troubles using the voldn / end button method. I think it's great that we are working towards a more standardized installer, but it didn't go too smooth for me.

I ended up using the 3 blank file method, and it worked like a charm. (3 blank files rootfstonand, datafstonand, and systemfstonand)

Here are the biggest things that stand out for me:

the visual aesthetics are great! nice job

in my experience, it ALWAYS turns on with the power button, and with only 1 press to boot. Have had trouble with this in the past

something strange is going on with my setup, sometimes it is lightening fast and other times it is unbearably slow. I am killing extra tasks.

The messaging app seems very slow to pullup, and manipulate

I personally do not enjoy the whole HTC Sense thing - it's just not for me I prefer Home++ and my own widgets.

Very impressive how quickly the dialer is pulled up, faster than WM
[Touch CDMA Android Development] berardi:
Sometimes when I get stuck into loops like this, I clean off my SD card with the exception of the conf folder.

I would put a fresh copy on your SD card, just go with the 3 blank file method and let her rip (you won't have to do anything it should just go). Once it's complete, then remove SD card, clean it off put the conf on there along with ur media folder if u have one and try a reboot. That's what worked for me.

MS Exchange?

This is really exciting. Is anyone able to set up MS Exchange for this? I have to use it for work (calendar for meetings, email, etc). I know there are work arounds, but has anything enabled a true ongoing Activesych-like tool that will keep my work Exchange data synched with my Google account?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Masterface7:
So even if one installs it to the nand is the sd card still required?

Does the SD card have to be 2 gig and under?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dr3w2k:
I can verify that Exchange sync does work for mail, contacts, and calendar with this build. No need to sync with your Google account.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] berardi:
SD Card still required, I'm pretty sure. Can be any size you want, I use 4 GB

I just installed to nand using the bootloader and 3 blank file method and it went pretty smoothly i pushed voldn to install voldn to upgrade and voldn to use data.img and that was pretty much it.

What is home++ just the regular home?

[Touch CDMA Android Development] berardi:
home++ is a slightly modified regular home - it's got a few extra features that are nice it's in the marketplace free
[Touch CDMA Android Development] xd1936:
After trying and failing with the "Upgrade" method, I've temporarily gone back to WinMo. Two quick questions:

-Is there a howto on the 3 blank files method? I can't say I've ever done that before.

-When booting from NAND: after the ROM is flashed and the data is installed, is the OS all on the phone? (will I need my MicroSD in there still?)

Thank you all for your hard work.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] loopdloop:
Wow, thanks. If I do that, though, will I lose sync with my google calendar and gmail / google voice contacts?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dr3w2k:
That I don't know as I am not synching with my Google account at all.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
since a lot of you are having problems with the installer i updated the first post with new instructions
[Touch CDMA Android Development] berardi:
3 blank files is really easy.

1. Get the 3 files (rootfs.img, system.img, data.img) and put them on root of sd. They will probably be called systemTATOO.img so you want to name them by their "short name"

2. right click and click new text document. rename this file to rootfstonand. Do this two more times naming the other two systemfstonand and datafstonand

3. Put card into phone, reboot and it should install.

4. I like to clean off the sd once it's done so that the installer doesn't mess with the system that's installed anymore. I leave the conf folder in the root of the sd, and reboot again.

I'm far from a pro but this is what has worked best for me!

EDIT: NM jamezelle included the blank files in first post
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Masterface7:
The bootloader is 4-5 big color horizontal stripes, there are a few rules when flashing from bootloader that can be found around this site and the wiki but quickly, make sure you have a 2 gig or under sd card formatted to fat32 by a windows pc. name the nbh VOGUIMG.nbh and put it on the root of your sd card, make sure you have plenty of battery.

@Berardi -no i am not running this on my tp2 that would be frickin sweet but no i bust out my old vogue and loaded it up as "practice" becuase i am gonna put this on my sisters phone.

on the current .nbh image files what does "gpstest" mean on the 1/19/10 file. Does the 1/14/10 not have gps?

edit: the walkthrough on the first post was updated with the blankfiles

I read it says "disabling bootsound" but my boot sound always plays nice and loud.

Did you delete anything besides the rootfs.img?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] xd1936:
I was wondering this myself. Thanks a lot for all of your replies! I'll try it out as soon as I can

[Touch CDMA Android Development] KralHiPolymer:
Does anyone know how long the battery life is because I have read that Android shortens battery life? Also, how hard is it to flash this to NAND because I have not flashed a phone before? And do I need to update the radio?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Masterface7:
No clue really on battery from me since my battery is old and drains quickly anyway, Flashing to nand is pretty simple and the first post steps are pretty straight forward. You do not need a new radio, but if you have NEVER flashed before there is a good chance you need to flash hardspl

I flashed to the GPS test.nbh and I get force closes like crazy on boot. It also looped the boot 2-3 times before entering setup, and everything is force closing. I'm going to try with the non-gps test version and see if this clears up.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] xd1936:

EDIT: Also starts looping, showing the splash screen and startup noise over and over again.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Masterface7:
I had that at first as well. Not sure how i fixed it but what i did was delete every thing off my sd card and re transfer the files then i flashed again the gpstest nbh. I had the 3 blank files on my sd card i didnt let it auto go all the way through I had to het voldn a few times once to start installer once to upgrade (then and end press) and voldn once to use data.img

testGPS of 01-19-2010 not working

Excellent build! runs much faster than expected. My findings on this build for Vogue/NAND are as follows:

1. Blank files & do nothing method did not work, method on pg6 by jamezelle with blank files works

2. GPS not working in testGPS nbh of 01-19-2010, works with 01-14-2010 nbh

3. having trouble connecting to PC for Outlook data sync (guess, I need to search ADB drivers for Win7 x64)

4. Google sync works, don't store contacts & appts on hotmail so didn't try Exchange sync

5. I found Shidell's 2.1 Eclair to be the fastest NAND build for my Vogue but I prefer SenseTATTOO for its LOOKS & FUNCTIONS

Once again great work jamezelle & all devs!!!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Shedluv:
Got everything up and running, data, calls, texts, etc from the SD card (testing before I NAND) on my Sprint Touch. But, I'm having a problem. The screen is basically centered to the left. I've tried recalibrating and I've changed the resolution in the default.txt file from 240X320 to 320X480 and the screen type to 1, 2, and 3, and none of them change the appearance.

It is not horrible, just very difficult to type on the keyboard that only takes up 2/3rds of the width of the screen. The clock on the home screen is not centered (can't make it center either). It is like I am running at 1.5 times the resolution width, but just fine on height.

Please advise if I did something wrong, or if this is just "how it is". Thanks.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
change it to 240x320 and lcd.density=120
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Shedluv:
Did that first (I copied the command as you had on the front page). Then tried 320X480, and density of 160. No change whatsoever.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] PaceyWhitter:
Tattoo isn't Hero, it is native 240x320.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Shedluv:
I followed the instructions on the main page. Downloaded the files. Copied the config file, media file etc. to storage card. Edited the default.txt file to include the 240X320 resolution as stated in the opening. Got this issue with the screen not being centered. Then tried the different screen types (1,2,3). Did some reading, looking etc, and thought I set something wrong, so tried increasing the resolution to 320X480. No fix. Put the resolution back to 240X320. Still have the problem.

Delete Data.img, Start Fresh +/- Format Ext2 Partition

I remember seeing the same issue with the screen offset to the top and left. I had initially used the 320x480 resolution setting. After I got data working and Market showing more items, I deleted the data.img file and started fresh, using the default.txt with the 240x320 setting. Just make sure you press "Voldn" on two separate occasions when asked and the "any key" later to boot when asked.

When I was changing to another build, unrelated to this one, I had to format the ext2 partition because I kept on getting a build that I was try to get rid of. I don't know if you have an ext2 partition but if you do, it wouldn't hurt to format it.

because right now i cannot use android on day to day use if i don't have all my contacts/whatnot/astro on it. (i'm using adb to try to get astro on it and on astro, via task killa)

As far as contacts go, this is what worked for me:

-Export your Outlook contacts to .CSV format

-Sign into gmail on your computer

-Navigate to "Contacts" on the left panel

-When it shows all contacts (usually quite a bit because Google includes everyone you've ever emailed or who have ever emailed you)

-You don't have to do this, but I did: Select all contacts and delete (so you don't have random email addresses in your contacts)

-Click "Import"

-Browse to your .CSV file and select it

-You should have all your contacts in Gmail.

-Then go into your phone settings on android

-Navigate to Data Synchronization>Google>Check Contacts

-Let it sync your contacts (which will be just what you imported if you deleted all the others)

-Then go back into settings and uncheck Contacts in data sync so it doesn't keep syncing emails that aren't really your contacts.

hey guys, i am about to put this tattoo on my phone, and i was wandering if the SenseTatoo v1.0 was missing anything compared to the SenseHero v1.4?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] drewden123:
Only missing blurriness and the SMS send error! lol

This is native res (crispy clear screen), no SMS send error, MUCH faster, MUCH better than SenseHero imho.

However, you only see qvga-compatible apps in the market. Usually I would flash to 320x480 first and sign into market to enable apps, and then reflash to 240x320, but this didn't work for me this time...maybe this build has a tattoo fingerprint; therefore, it can only see tattoo-compatible (qvga) apps.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] hhearld88:
Sounds good! im installing now.

As for the apps, I will just download them on my computer and put them on my SD card that way.

Well I tried to install this.. but it keeps looping the HTC / Hero boot screens

Do I have to take all the files inside of the Android folder and put them on the root of the SD card? that could have been the problem. Can't think of any other reason as to of why it would loop

[Touch CDMA Android Development] chunnell:
Many problems with install

I have run several versions of Android on my VX6900. 1.5 & 1.6 and now this version of 1.6 which has some nice graphical enhancements. 1.5 & 1.6 were much faster off of the SD Card than this version, which I'm assuming is because of those very enhancements. That being said, Bluetooth still cannot be activated. I still cannot get my Windows 7 machine to recognize the Android phone when connected via USB, the driver tries to install but inevitably fails, and I have the adp files, but they never work. For some reason I cannot succesfully calibrate the screen because the first middle pointer works but the left side points won't calibrate until I press elsewhere on the screen, but the right side pointers will calibrate properly; This bizarre behavior is unique to your Android install as I haven't yet had any problems with calibration on Android with the other versions.

And GPS which I could get to work with 1.5 but would crash Google Maps frequently and which would work for the first 60 seconds on 1.6 and then nevermore, doesn't ever work on this version.

FYI, I have run both Vin's 6.5 and NSFAN's 6.5 ROM on this Vogue. I'm currently running NSFAN's. GPS works fine on both ROMs.

I have a question. I have been using Vilord's Tattoo on a FAT32/ext2/ext2 partitioned SD card and it runs lickity-split. I tried this version (on a new SD card) and using the instructions on the first page it runs much slower.

Can I just overwrite Vilord's system.sqsh on my old SD card with this new system.sqsh? Will it also work with the FAT32/ext2/ext2 setup? I would like to try this out to see if it will run as fast as Vilord's.

Thanks in advance.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] hhearld88:
ok after many tries and many fails, I finally got it up and running. The way i fixed my problem which was either looping boot screens or just black screening.. thats cause it is still trying to boot from ur SD card and all the data is being saved on the NAND, so what you need to do is go and delete everything on ur SD card after you see the first boot screen (should be the android robot). then just reboot and everything should be fine. when you get to the calibrationg part, just keep tapping the middle of the screen till u get past that. Their is an app to use later on to calibrate so dont worry. should be good to go!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zkush:
finally got it running but its going painfully slow. any suggestions?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] hhearld88:

So, I flashed this to nand, and when it started up, it showed the android screen (where the "android" peaks its head out from the bottom, waves and disappears), and then the HTC screen. Another minute later, a white dot appears in the top left corner, and then disappears about 10 seconds later. Then the android screen comes up again, and then the HTC screen.

It never stops!
