22fps with 2-19 and only 2fps and tearing with 2-20. tried flashing it twice. had to go back to 2-19. other people are not having this issue
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
That is correct. Middle D-pad now activates menu after loading haret on the vogue.

I typically just load Haret and immediately hold down the dpad middle button.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] j8971:
I just tried holding down the dpad and the menu still did not show up. It just continues to load the previous build. I thought all I needed for this update was to add the new androidinstall.tar to the andboot folder on my SDCard. Should I be adding the other files (initrd.gz, default.txt and zImage) to the andboot folder?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pyrator:
i just did a fresh install with the 3rd release (extract the folder) and reflashed with vilords nbh. it will still say hold vol up u can just now use the touchscreen to nav in the menus to install. Unless i missed something
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
not quite sure what your asking? use middle dpad, not vol up
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pyrator:
i got it =)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
did you flash the newest nbh first? Are you using nand?

[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
I think there's an issue where armadillo roll only works once per boot... although I did clear my data when installing... but I am using dzo's 2-19, not vilord's 2-20.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] j8971:
No. I am just using SDCard nomorootf method. I had no problems before with the previous method (volume slider up), but I have tried the silder and dpad…neither is working for me.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
what files do you have in your andboot folder? Do you have the latest basefiles 2-20?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] CasopoliS:
Installing now...

so far I am loving Android! I already downloaded some sweet apps for free. GPS and camera work, though the camera is worthless. Its a new phone for me, so I am not sure if it is the camera, or just bad drivers/integration into Andoird.

THANKS for this ROM!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pyrator:
cameras not that great, esp. inside outside its not horrible
[Touch CDMA Android Development] kan555:
I had the same problem. I tried it 3 times before the dpad works.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
this is a problem with all builds not just myns.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] j8971:
I thought I loaded everything, but I did not update my initrd.gz file. Updated it and now I see the menu.

Thank you kindly.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pyrator:
o ya the cameras bad even in wimo (stock) it just sucks its not the build lol

know any good test apps to make sure i dont have the market resolution bug? did quite a few flashes

I am having problems modifying the androidupdate.tar prop file to have a density of 120. My WinRAR says I cannot add to tar files, and if I create a RAR and change the extension to TAR, I get an wrong filetype error when I try to run the update. Any suggestions? Also, how can you tell what density you are running once you are in Android?

Can you install a theme, then another update to change the density? i.e. one update does not wipe out the others, correct?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] CasopoliS:
looks like this will work. someone already did it. I will try to use this.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] crobs808:
so...how do I make GPS work w/o having a data plan/connection? It was working fine on my previous WinMo build (NFSFan's 6.5 Rom), before I flashed to Android

[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
Press volup/dn to change the shutter speed when inside. It takes much better pics with a slow shutter speed but you have to hold it still. I agree the cam is not great but it's fine for things like snaptell.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] drkow19:
I had that problem. Flashed 2-20 and armadillo roll didn't work right. Going to try dzo's 2-19. This new system is rock-solid compared to just the last version!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] drkow19:
I have a XV6900 from Verizon. It works great with dzo's 2-19 nbh file, but not so much with the 2-20 from the sourceforge page. It all works, even the accelerometer hack for armadillo roll. So cool!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
I'm xv6900, using 2-20 from sf and armadillo roll is working fine for me.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] chourmovs:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
you are seeing paid and free apps for 240x320. to see ALL apps, see my FAQ thread for a fix.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Reddog80p:
Download 7zip it's like win-rar but you can edit the build-prop and replace it back into the tar.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Carrick1973:
incubus26jc - Does the market show all apps, and does google maps and voice work with density of 120? I've been running 320 x 480 at density 160 because it fixed the Force Closes with the google apps. I'd like to run it at 240 x 320 at 120 though if possible as it is clearer.

Thanks.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] CasopoliS:
Ok I feel like a total noob but how do you flash a new NBH? I am using SD BTW.

I have been searching and searching.

Thanks.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Reddog80p:
Are you flashing to NAND (removing windows completely) or running through windows via Haret?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] CasopoliS:
Haret

Can I just change the resolution in the default.txt file and re-install the ROM?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Reddog80p:
Yep. You don't flash an NBH when using throught haret.

NoMoRootFS Instructions for SDCard:

Download either the 320x480 or 240x320 version

Backup! than, clear whatever "android" stuff you have from sdcard (I dont want it to get caught up in the install) especially your android folder

Extract contents of downloaded zip to temporary directory

Copy extracted /andboot folder to the ROOT of your SDCard

Run HaRET, than hit “run” to launch android

Slide volume up after hitting "run" and follow the directions in the NoMoRootFs menu system
[Touch CDMA Android Development] CasopoliS:
Thanks guys. This forum is awesome and I appreciate the help. I have a good understanding of running Haret and getting into the boot menu, etc.

Is there a way to backup all my downloaded apps so when I switch roms they are all still there? I tried the backup / recover in the boot menu but that did not seem to do it last time. I am not sure what data it is backing up there.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] drewden123:
My apologies, I assumed you were running NAND. Yep follow reddog's instructions and you should be good.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] CasopoliS:
I am close to dumping WM and going NAND just to simplify booting, etc. So far I can do everything I want in Android and my battery life does not seem too bad since I shut stuff off when I am not using it.

TasKiller (free app) is great too. It kills apps when I shut off the screen (optional), or I can manually do it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] drewden123:
Astro file manager works great for backing up apps (and it's included in the rom). When in astro, hit menu (power button)>tools>application manager
[Touch CDMA Android Development] CasopoliS:
THANKS! Awesome!

[Touch CDMA Android Development] derringdo:
Did something change with the screen sensitivity in release 3? I find that I have to press a lot harder for touches to register, e.g. swiping across home screens is a lot harder now.

Also, when I press down and swipe through the applications list, it seems to accidentally register my touches as trying to open apps, so I'm constantly opening up apps while trying to scroll through the list. This is probably related to having to press down harder to scroll?

The sensitivity in release 2 was perfect, so I'm not sure what happened in release 3 :(
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
Nothing changed in sensitivity on the rom side. Unless there are changes in the more recent basefiles/nbh.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] damianiw:
Really daft questions but with your latest update can I still apply the themes and also the 160 / 110 dpi settings :-)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pyrator:
anyone know where i can find a list of driod icons and what they mean? I have on that looks like a L/[] but turned 90 degress so the l is pointed down and the box is on the bottom
[Touch CDMA Android Development] derringdo:
Hmm I did some more testing and it seems that the sensitivity hasn't changed, but them home screen/app drawer seems "stickier" if that makes sense.

Did the home screen changes you made (to prevent home screen reloads) make it more sensitive to the number of shortcuts/icons? Would having more icons and apps installed make it less responsive? Keep in mind this is the same number of icons I was using in release 2 but I'm only noticing a difference now that I have release 3 installed.

Anyway thanks Myn, your work is awesome!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
Yes and Yes.

It should have improved the performance of the home screen and launcher. I know in alot of my testing performance always improves after the first restart. Have you restarted after flashing?

Thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] derringdo:
I've restarted a few times and the same behaviour was still present after the restart. I cleaned up some of the apps I wasn't using and it seems to be better now so I'll put it down to having too much stuff installed. I'm using the SD card boot method by the way.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] noside12123:
Great!!!! Now Release 3 is here! I have to try it out asap. Great Job Myn!!!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] kan555:
Glad you mention this problem because I'm having the exact same issue but can't describe it as well as you did. Very hard to swipe across the home screens on this ROM. Like you said last ROM was perfect.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
I find it much easier to swype across the screens with this build. It even used to lag when going to the right for the first time after turning it on and then it was fine after that. It dont even do that anymore. Its smooth first time
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
i think the lag in swiping is related to the cpu use at the time. when you first boot up, there are usually a few programs that run on boot, things are slow for a little bit. if you just wait, or use something like taskiller to close them, things get faster, you'll notice swiping gets easier. there was an update to screen accuracy a few kernels ago (i don't know, maybe around 2-12 ish?), seemed to make things a bit harder to swipe, but who knows, maybe it was just related to what I mentioned above.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
I also find it easier to swipe with this build, but I think it is just because things are running a little speedier in general, rather than that there is anything different with the touchscreen.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] GriloVirante:
Wow!! This version works like a charm on Pola200 (I've learnt to be prudent on the 100/200... they're not the same!!).

My best experience is when waiting for the message "press..." and immediately after pressing the central DPAD button once and keep it pressed (no piety/exitation!! :D) till when the menu, unavoidably, appears!!

The issue I have now is with wifi. In fact I was never able to make it work, not even with this one: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5683048&postcount=1197

When I install the 20100220 build it goes OK, but no wifi/bluetooth. Then I install the update, and the boot freezes after the android logo with inner green dot signalling progress.. it progresses for 30" or so, then the screen freezes black, and I have to soft-reset. At the next trial I let go (no DPAD touch) and I get stuck with "Error waiting for notbusy", sigh! :confused:

I'm using the 20100220 build with norootFS 1 FAT32 and 2 Ext2 installation, on a Pola200 and 4GB SD card (3 GB for FAT32 and the last one split in half for the 2 EXT2).

How's everyones battery life with the new 02-20-2010 rls?

dzo's battery updates + no more OTA updates should yield alot better results.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] CasopoliS:
Mine is good. I ahve not used it much, but I have not seen the bar move yet whereas before after a couple hours of use I could tell a difference in the "full" bar. Its looked the same to be the past 2 hours.

That being said, I have auto-sync off and GPS off. I use the middle brightness setting on the power widget. Once I start using the phone more and making calls I will be able to tell even better.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pyrator:
my battery life has seen a great improvment, i have had it unpluged for 5 hours, playing with it, metamorph, youtube videos, gps off, data sync on, and two calls lasting about 15 mins total and still have 85% battery. that should yeild at least a good solid 12 hours of normal use with no problems
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dufyd:
so, I'm running from SD card, 320 res and I don't have all the apps in the market, I kinda need Google Voice and some other ones that I used to use.

How can I get all the apps in the market?

BTW: BY FAR!!!! THE BEST ANDROID BUILD :)

I might be ready to flash :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] CasopoliS:
I wish there was a quicker way to access contacts though, I think it will be hard to call people while driving. I wish you could search contacts with a single button press that pulls up a keyboard. Right now you have to go into contacts, hit the menu (power) button, then hit search, then type.

Better yet, a voice recognition software that searches contacts would be amazing. Any help?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] CasopoliS:
I fully flashed the 320 build fresh and was able to see the apps. Once I flashed back to the lower res, I was no longer able to see them though....
[Touch CDMA Android Development] ThomasHW:
My battery life is awesome. I'll know better by tomorrow when I'm using it throughout the day, but this weekend it there has definitely been a noticeable improvement.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pyrator:
the way i do it is i flash to nand with the higher res (FRESH NAND AND DATA both to nand and wipe data )

Then i goto the market make sure i can see the apps and download one for good measure.

Then i goto the install menu and backup my data

Reflash to a lower res(the one i want) again fresh nand and data and wipe data

then i restore my backedup data and it works for me.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] drewden123:
My battery life has improved 500-1000%. 3 hours of my regular usage used to be about 10-20% of my battery, now it's about 1-2% of my battery.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] kan555:
The battery improves a lot on this ROM. The phone hasn't gotten hot like last ROM. One thing I found so far is I can't hold the camera button and go back to the home screen. Have to back out one by one to the home screen. Is it just me?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] CasopoliS:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] pyrator:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] zakkain:
Even when I flash the 320x480 version I can't see apps like Facebook in the market. I dunno why. For me, the market is the same for the 240x320 and the 320x480 versions.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] derringdo:
It happens even after everything has finished loading. I've checked with a task killer and there are only two items running (including the task killer). It seems like it's the home screen and to a lesser extent the launcher that is much less responsive now. I miss a lot of swipes now where before I missed none, such as when I try to swipe between different home screen pages.

What exactly did this update to screen accuracy do? It seems like this might be causing the problem since I have literally nothing running in the background.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
It just keeps the home screen in memory. Thats all. Previously the android memory management would purge the home task which was causing the home screen reloads in cases where you would have heavy application use (ex Google Nav).

I wonder, are you using the 2-20-2010 NBH and the correct androidinstall.tar's corresponding to your res?

Try reloading the system as well. Something is definitely not right. It should yield faster results.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
I forgot to mention.

The USB mount/unmount process now works in this new build.

I was able to mount my SD Card within Ubuntu without issues.

Thanks to vilord for this fix.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] CasopoliS:
MYN - not sure if you want to use this in your first post, but here is a step-by-step that I used to get the market to work with 240 resolution:

Step-by-step for SD installs:

(if you currently have an Android ROM you might want to backup your apps using ASTRO first)

1. Download the 240x320 ROM that you want to run

2. Make a copy of the default.txt file located in the andboot folder, call it something different like default2.txt

3. Modify the resolution found towards the end of the original default.txt file to 320x480... for Myn's it would be:

set cmdline "ppp.nostart=0 mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480

4. Don't change anything else in the file

5. Run Haret and hold down the vol up or center d-pad button to enter the menu (the fonts will be small and blurry if you did it correctly).

6. Run a full install of the ROM - hit Quit when done installing to Boot Android - this might take a while. Your screen will be blurry and the calibration will be slightly off. DO NOT CALIBRATE THE SCREEN. Just deal with it, its not bad.

7. Once in Android enter the market and login. Search for "SD Mount" and if you get more than a few results everything worked. If the Dual Mount SD widget shows up, it definitely worked. (that is the one to install if you want to mount your SD card in Android - but you can download it later).

8. Now that you have confirmed it worked, soft-reset into WM

9. View the contents of your SD card and erase your default.txt. Change your copy to be default.txt (i.e. for this example default2.txt -> default.txt).

10. Run Haret and let it boot into Android. Now your resolution will be back to 240 and you will be able to view all the apps in the market.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] derringdo:
I downloaded your 320x240 nomorootfs kit and installed it just like I did with the previous releases - the only thing I did differently was to keep the data.img file this time. I suppose I'll try clearing everything off my sd card and reinstalling.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
Unfortunately this fix only works for a few days.

Eventually the Market will go back to filtering only apps suitable for 240x320 res after a few days. :(. At least that has been my experience.

I think the ultimate fix is to get a handle on the procedure that passes our resolution to the Market and hard code it to 320x480.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] CasopoliS:
that stinks!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] CasopoliS:
How do you mount/unmount? Do you need drivers on the computer? IS there software I have to use in Android?

I can confirm - I did the same thing on first login - but after a few days I could no longer see the 320x480 apps.

Re-installed using using NAND 2/20 build with version 3. Battery life and data appear to be fixed, thanks so much!

I was trying to put some ringtones in the system folder but I've been having some problems. I can copy/past from the system to my SD card, but I can't go from SD card to the system/media/audio/ringtones.

Any way to add ringtones to this folder? I also noticed their in the .ogg format, if I find a way to drop an mp3 in there will it work?

Wifi-enabled sqsh files for Kaiser; Speaker phone?

Upgraded to newest release last night, and man! Huge improvements in speed, particularly related to home screen redraws.

Unfortunately, I was using the Plastic-themed wifi-enabled sqsh files for the Kaiser, which means now my wifi is broken.

Any chance of getting those sqsh files updated for us Kaiser users? Also - I asked about this before but got no response from anyone (which probably isn't good :( ) - but was wondering if any Kaiser users have speaker phone working with any of Myn's builds?

If I could get speaker phone working, I'm pretty sure I'd flash to NAND and ditch winmo completely. Bluetooth too, though that's not a very big deal for me.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
Step 1)

Step 2)

Step 3) On my Ubuntu box the SD Card is then mounted and accessible like a regular folder.
