Myn, look my last post for a report on Polaris with NoMorRootFS. I cannot flash (need Winmo for work) so I cannot help there. And no, no success with bluetooth on NoMorrootFS with Poalris :(

Bluetooth troubles

Hi I was running Myn's Warm Donut RLS 3 [02-20-2010] , but had to go back to WinMo to get my Bluetooth working again, as I use my phone in the car a lot. Is there a fix for these Bluetooth issues?

Whenever I power off and on a bluetooth headset - either a Plantronics Explorer 320, or the Sony DR-BT22A stereo headset, they do not automatically re-connect to the phone, I have to manually re-connect them (in the Bluetooth settings on the phone, it showed as paired, but not connected). This was never and issue with Windows Mobile. Also, even once connected, the bluetooth audio would often become distorted, like and old stretched audio cassette tape, so I had to power off and on the headset, and go into Bluetooth settings on my phone, and select the headset to re-initiate the connection.

Does anyone have a suggestion that I can try, so I can give Android another spin?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] o2-lover:
to the experts - a bit of an update

hi.

Nexus One Launcher ?

Hello...

RL4 is working really well.

I see that Myn's image and text above mentions the Nexus One Launcher.

I do see the dots in the lower left and right sides of my screen which tells which panel I am on.

However, I do not see the mini screens at the bottom. Is this a list of running apps that you can access quickly? I have some apps running and they do not show up.

Thank you for clarifying!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
you have to hold on the dots for a second to two. its a screen selector.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Beackman:
Is for kaiser, i don't know why not work for polaris.:(
[Touch CDMA Android Development] JM-PDA:
I see.

Very cool!

Thank you...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vrflyer:
I believe he stated it was for Kaiser after I tested it on my Polaris with REL4. It didn't work for me at all, I was able to turn ON wifi, but that's it (and no BT either).

zImage-eclair in the ZIP file?

Question about the "myn-WarmDonut-03-16-2010-240x320-110.zip" package.

I noticed that the ZIP file also includes a "zImage-eclair" file in addition to the "zImage". The Default.txt line command is "set KERNEL zImage".

I understand that this is a Donut (Android v1.6) build.

When would we use the "zImage-eclair" file.

Thank you!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] seanmcd72:
Went back to RLS3 (Alltel Vogue now with Verizon network) and restored my data - BT turns on and off fine, phone pairs with Jawbone, Alpine car BT, etc. Tried RLS4 fresh again and BT doesn't want to turn on. When I try to turn it on, blue LED does start blinking but it never states that BT is actually "on". If I reboot the phone, the light is no longer blinking. Anyone else seeing this issue?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] akaFassbier:
Is there anything I (as noob) can help to get it working on polaris?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
zImage-eclair comes with the 02-20-2010 basefiles. I wanted to preserve the package as best I could. zImage-eclair does nothing for donut though. For now you can delete it if you wanted.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
To the users that are having issues with calls incoming/outgoing or data in RLS 4

I am wondering if perhaps the RIL update for the proper 3G reporting is causing the issue. Can you give this a try?

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
adb push libhtcgeneric-ril.so /system/lib
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system

Then restart

This libhtcgeneric-ril.so is from the previous version of Warm Donut (02-20-2010).

Please let me know if this resolves your issue and what phone and carrier you're using.

Thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
Hmm... can you give us a logcat? It's working fine for me, verizon vogue. And what nbh are you using?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] GriloVirante:
Tried to install the update. After I quit the installer I get a neverending list of errors:

init: cannot execve ('/system/bin/mediaserver'): permission dnied

..and Android does not launch. Maybe that info is irrelevant, but I'm on Vodafone Italy.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
Can you try this again using the adb push method instead? Updated post here
[Touch CDMA Android Development] seanmcd72:
I've tried the voguimg-240x320-17-03-10.nbh and one from the 8th I think. But using the same one I have now, I can switch back to RLS3 and BT turns on. Soon as I figure out what logcat is I'll post it ! :) EDIT - I think I see how to capture the logcat, just need some time to do it as I'm at work still. I'll post it soon as I can. Thanks!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
You can either use your pc and adb:

adb logcat -d > /somefile (or adb logcat -d > c:\somefile.txt on windows)

OR use the terminal in android:

su
logcat -d > /sdcard/somefile

And upload/post somefile.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] seanmcd72:
I tried this method -got a file written but do I need to try to enable BT while it's capturing? If so is it still running if i back out of terminal to goto the BT settings?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
logcat has past info in it, so just enable bt, then run logcat, the bt attempt should be fairly close to the bottom.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] 4ultratech:
I run Linux is their a way to do this on Linux?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
Yup. adb works in Linux too. A little more difficult to install though.

Oi amigo!

Myn, I'm in love with your builds :) Ever thought of having some sort of check for update function? I guess it would be kinda useless for those without unlimited data, but for guys like me, it'd be nice to just click, reboot, install, and run.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] stopthebus:
Thanks for the update

Lost the new launcher with the enoch theme update.

Can I get it back?

Are any other theme works?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] 4ultratech:
Did you update this file in the build?

I just downloaded again and did a fresh install and call's work now.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
The Launcher is bound to the base Warm Donut rom however there are a couple of really nice new themes by other people in the vogue-android community that will feature the new Launcher as well.

Stay tuned
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
Nope, didn't update the build at all.

Perhaps MediaFire got the best of you and corrupted the download.

I am happy to hear it now works though :).
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
Thanks again for your efforts.

It always amazes me how fast an update for other phones is posted after a major update is released. I am lost without you guys helping me out.

I have updated the first post accordingly.

Polaris 200 has issues with incoming calls and Wifi

I tried to "fix permission" in the installer and that resolved. I could launch Android after the update. Unfortunately, the update you gave did not work: no wifi and no bluetooth and what's worst: no incoming calls. Now I see that Beackman has posted a new fix for WiFi.. going to try that one as well.

Don't leave us Polaris owners alone, pleaaaaase!!!

WiFi fix fixes literally only Kaiser

In case there was any need to clarify: this fix only fixes wifi for Kaiser, NOT for Polaris. Tried to reformat SD card re-install clean, install fix on Pola200 and.. nothing: it activates WIFI, but does not let me save any wireless net.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] 4ultratech:
It worked for a couple of calls and then stopped again.

I think it is what you posted before because the 3G icon comes on and then

goes off when trying to make calls.

I am having trouble getting adb to work in Linux, is their any chance you could update

the build so I can see if this fixes the problem. Using the SQSH files.

Thanks for the quick responses LOVE this Build!!!!

P.S. BT won't turn on at all. Worked excellent in RLS3
[Touch CDMA Android Development] xport:
tried the 3-16 sqsh version again (fresh clean install), BT still wont turn on at all.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] seanmcd72:
here's the file:

and here's a snippet of one after a fresh install and one attempt at starting BT:

D/BluetoothDeviceService( 379): Bluetooth state 0 -> 1

I/bluedroid( 379): Starting hciattach daemon

E/bluedroid( 379): bt_enable: Timeout waiting for HCI device to come up

D/BluetoothDeviceService( 379): Bluetooth state 1 -> 0
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
Maybe there's a sqsh specific problem? Myn? Sorry, guys, i run nand and it's working fine for me... has anyone tried 'fix permissions' in the installer?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] GriloVirante:
I did, as after applying the first fix Android woudl not launch at all. But after soft resetting, fix permission and quitting, soft resetting again, and then boothing, wifi, Bluetooth and incoming calls were not working.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
See, that makes me wonder if the permissions on the sqsh are dorked, and since fix permissions only fixes specific items, it's not catching this. But I think we need myn to confirm.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] seanmcd72:
when I run the install on my phone, I see messages such as "block 472 is bad" then later "block 300 is bad" Is that a bad sign?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
not unless you see a whole bunch of them. block 271 is bad on my phone. they just die out over time. but dzo has said not to worry about it.

Hey myn,

Loving rls4 so far... anyways, to my question.... I don't believe I am slow or anything like that, but for the life of me I cannot get data to establish a connection.... you mentioned that you had added a ton of apns, but honestly, I have no clue as to how to select them. Moreover, from the list that I have seen, most of these apns are for gsm networks :confused:. I just don't see how that is going to work for a cdma phone.

I have tried creating new apns in Wireless settings, without any luck. Moreover, the MCC is still set to 260, which I believe is the problem in the first place. I am running nomorootfs with zimage 3-17 from storage... any help is appreciated! Thanks a bunch.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tempe38:
Thank you!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] seanmcd72:
It doesn't seem like it because I'm simply switching between RLS3 and 4 with only a wipe and install and it works in RLS3 but not 4. I'm inclined to say my phone is going bad, except it definitely works great in RLS3.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
The reason for the confusion with apns is that the settings activity only shows apns with the same mcc/mnc as the network you are on. The market enabler however sets the mcc/mnc to tmobile to fool google into giving you full market. I guess gsm phones probably shouldn't run the market enabler, perhaps for cdma we should just report the tmobile mcc/mnc from the ril.

I think there was an audio problem on recent gsm kernels, i've reverted a few changes, can kaiser and polaris users try the most recent kernel and see if that fixes things.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
Sorry, I meant 'the newly packaged rls 4 sqsh', not sqsh in general.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
dzo deserves a really nice Speights or a Mac's Brown ale dyed green for this.

Hi Myn,

Since you have an update today, I think it is time for me to ask the following question:

How to update to this new one from the last one? I just don't want to download those apps from market again. (I am quite new to android, your last rom 2-20-2010 is my first try!) Thanks!

:)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Barogi44:
Use the volume slider to adjust quality
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Barogi44:
All you have to do is when you install it and it asks you if you want to wipe data, you choose no and that will keep all your settings and apps.

New Kernel Test results with Pola200 and Ext2 installation

Downloaded the new zImage 17-3-2010 from the address Myn provided, reformatted FAT32 partition and created a clean install (wiped data during setup)

1) Tried to only install Release 4 (240x320) with no wifi fix androidupdate.tar and test receiving phone calls, Bluetooth, and wifi; results are:

- Receiving phone calls: on the calling phone it rings free till when answering machine starts. On Android it does not show anything on screen, does not ring or vibrate :(

The very interesting thing is that the phone is NOT DISCONNECTED. At my home I've a very bad mobile coverage. SO, from time to time the bars measuring the coverage go to zero. In THAT time, if I try to call my android, the answering machine starts immediately. When the Android shows some coverage, and I call it, I hear the rings, althoug Android does not ring. So the net "feels" when it is in range. But, no ring! :(

- Bluetooth: blue led keeps flashing since when Android was installing. Try to activate, it waits for a while and then it goes back to "activate bluetooth"

- Wifi: When I try to activate, it just says "impossible to strat Wifi"

2) I should now try to install the androidupdate.tar of the wifi, but I'm not so sure on which one I shoudl take (old release or the one of this release for Kaiser?), so I save some time and...

...and now going to sleep, as in Italy it's a bit late now and tomorrow I've to work :-)

Hope that helped! Good night, morning, afternoon!! :D

look for appmanager

you can backup installed apps to sd then choose which to reinstall

so i do the following:

1) download app manager and backup to SD

2) install new build, wipe data (and sys) just to be safe

3) download app manager, restore and apps are reinstalled

I found some apps like skype for 3 just always run and drain the battery so I now test and only backup the good ones :-)

Hi.

Is there any way to run ap2sd on that build ? If so , how i could do that since ive tried methods from other thread's and it doesnt work ive ended up only with messed up android and only way to go back is to use backup made a while ago.

What's the benefit for apps2sd? I see this topic alot but never understood what the big deal is. I have installed a ton of apks and have never had an issue with space. I keep a folder on my sd with my "everyday apps" and re-install them after a new install.

i experimented a bit with RLS 4 and the latest zImages from dzo to get wifi on my polaris to work, but i coulnd´t figure it out. whatever i tried, i wasn´t able to start wifi. with zImage versions between 23-02-10 and 17-03-10 i had no sound output on my polaris as well. with zImage-18-03-10 sound was back, but still no wifi. so i went back to zImage-19-02-10, now everything works for me. (can´t test bluetooth right now though)

RLS 4 is running great so far btw, thanks for the update! :)

i´ve attached an androidupdate.tar for RLS4 with the wifi-fix and 120 pixel density. NOTE: this only works with zImages 19-02-10 or older right now!
