Add language to Build

Hi You'll,

Is het possible to add languages to "Setting --> Language & Keyboard settings"?

I did a search but couldn't find any other posts that could answer this question....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lilchicano:
so i DLed the zimage and modules last night and when i unziped it the zimage size was normal but the modules was like 800kb. is it supposed to be like that or did i get an effed up DL?

reguardless ill try DLing it again and find out.

edit: yep its normal. i just dumped in the zimage and modules on what i call the "dummy test" android folder and its like 2 months old so them modules were alot fatter then :P

Freeware Titanium Backup backs up ALL your apps, a very fast process to SD card. Restore simply involves reinstalling Titanium Backup in new update, running restore locates all your apps to selectively reinstall. Updated versions are also offered up, while settings within are retained (if chosen).

Easy and painless both ways!

does that include homescreen layouts and settings too ? thx
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] electrikjesus:
Hey Reefer: WisTil2 mentioned that we could lower the initial volume through the startup.txt. Could you let us know what the command is that we need to add to the startup.txt to do this?

Thank You.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it.

htc_hw.call_vol=X

where X ranges 0 - 5
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Banditd:
I can put the phone on the table now - it is loud enough :eek: I went back to the older zImage and modules.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] captobie:
Holy crap it's loud! Are you trying to simulate a speakerphone??? :) Not sure which I prefer, but it's definitely a step in the right direction. Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Lennyz1988:
You need to add this text to you're startup.txt

htc_hw.call_vol=X

where X = between 1 and 5 as posted above.

I've put it to 4 and it's still a little bit loud. I'm gonna test 3 now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wistilt2:
Adjusting in-call volume

htc_hw.call_vol=x (x= 0-5, lowest to loudest - default=5)

htc_hw.handsfree=1 (can be set to 0 for quieter steps - default=1)

Curious if this is not working on any phones yet?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] edwill44:
htc_hw.call_vol=X....

I just set htc_hw.call_vol=3 and for me its still a little unconfortable to use. Im going down to htc_hw.call_vol=1 and see how that sounds. Thanks foe all the work....

Edit: Went down to vol=1 and the volume sonds the same to me. This is progress and I am glad to be apart of it....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] khatta:
I usually take a backup (Copy/Paste with another name) of my ANDBOOT directory. Then I go back to the original folder and update the following files only:

- modules-*

- zimage

- ROOTFS (If needed)

* mean whatever text comes next

That should get you to the newest repo version.

As far as I understand, your personalization (Installed Apps etc) are in the 'data' file and even if you do a clean install, restoring just the 'data' file should bring all your apps/customization back tio Android. This generally is a good method but sometimes doesn't work.

The above works for me but try it at your own risk. :-)

Good Luck ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
I usually do it the other way round if Reef uploads a new version. I rename the existing andboot folder, unzip the new andboot into the root ( I always use the .rar rather than the cab), then copy my old data.img from the renamed folder to the new one.

That way I get the new modules, zimage etc etc, but my old apps/setup etc.

If when I boot things don't work very nicely, I go back to winmo and delete the data.img and reboot and start again, loading all my apps from Titanium and text messages from SMS Backup & Restore. Obviously for this to work, you'll need to have backed them up recently, but if all else fails, the last known working android is but a folder rename away!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Lennyz1988:
Hmm, i guess it is not working, I began with 4 and I think I just imagened that the sound was lower :P I have tested 1 and it makes no difference.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] khatta:
Agreed. Thats a good way of updating Android as well.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] adamsmiley:
Thanks for all the hard work that has went in to this I just love it. I have one question I don't see people take much about blue tooth. Is there anything we can do to get that to work? I use my head set all the time to me blue tooth more important than a ring tone since most the time I leave it in vibrate anyway. So when I know I need to talk a lot I have to go back to WM to use my head set. Again thanks for all your help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] saurabh88:
seems like time is odd for me.

download both normal and oc blazin 2.2 but after installatin every time it give me default.txt not found..

speakerphone

On Rhodium:

Putting external.rhod_speaker=1 into startup.txt will let the speakerphone option work while in a call. Not sure how good the mic sensitivity is with that, but the speaker itself is LOUD.

[EDIT: Mic does not work but speaker will output sound during a call - in other words, speakerphone half-way works ]

Also, using snd.force_headset=2 is supposed to make the USB headset work, but I haven't tested (need a headset), and you might need to have it plugged in during boot or it might not work. If I read the code right, it looks to see if the headset is plugged in, and if not then it doesn't enable the feature. And, there's no auto-detect, so if you don't want the headset then you might have to reboot without the setting.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] adamsmiley:
There is a new zImage htc-msm-linux-20100729_174702-package.tar.bz2 out about 4 hours ago. Does anyone know what it does? I'm going to put it on and test around. How can you find what the new zImages do?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Atmosphere:
Hey don't worry, I googled it for you

IN CALL VOLUME BOOST!

posted Jul 28, 2010 9:13 PM by Matthew Gonzales

Hey guys, in call volume fix has been pushed to the repo! If you know how to update your own zimage/modules then by all means get this fix NOW!!!! Otherwise this will be included in the next package.

THANKS WIS!!!!!!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] adamsmiley:
I was getting from http://code.google.com/p/zimages/downloads/list but could not find the direct link.

Do you know what it does or how to find that info I goggled it too and did not find anything on it?

rhod210 keyboard

i read some posts in this thread where people had strange keyboard button assingments for they're tp2. i had it too, and i figured out how to fix it. If you have any flashed rom, like the Energy roms, make sure you do carrier provisioning to fix the keyboard. otherwise in android (fresh froyo 2.1 blazin) the keys will be completely messed up. just thot id share this :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
I have tried 5/1, 3/1, 3/0, 1/1. All of them seem to be equally loud, a little too loud :-( Aren't we fussy gits!

I tried this, and yes the loudspeaker worked during the call! Hoorah! Progress!

BUT! When I first booted, the speaker started making various quietish noises, buzzing, hissing etc. When I started a call, it went quiet, and it stayed quiet when I finished.

Then I tried playing music, and it started making noises again. And carried on till I next made a call.

So close...

And no, it didn't ring when I called the phone!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
And now I've tried 0/1 - still the same. The problem isn't just that it is potentially embarrasing and uncomfortable, but also that the caller can hear their own voice being fed back through the mic.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Plasmamuffins:
I tried doing what you said, and it still says its missing :/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] dirtypiratehooker:
Your startup file is corrupt. Rename your new startup file (someone uploaded here a few days ago, but there are others too) as default.txt and it should solve your problem. There are a few other posts within the last few days that discuss this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bmhome1:
Titanium offers saving system and settings also, but I didn't want to mess up latest builds possibly going backwards. I elected to reset up homescreen, etc (what seems best changes over time anyways :).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sykosoft:
I believe you're mistaken. There are no comments under the release.

Michael
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sykosoft:
As an FYI, in case you are not aware, it is possible to leave the SIM card in on a CDMA phone and have Android work. You simply need to set the phone to CDMA only instead of global in Windows Mobile:

Phone->Options->Network->Mode of Operation, set to CDMA Only.

Michael
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] edwill44:
The external.rhod-speaker=1 for me works well. The speaker is clear like in WiMo but the Mic doesn't work. Did I miss something? This is all I added to the startup txt. Was there something I missed?

Not overclcked but still BLAZN 2.2

This is what the TP2 was made for....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] gehzumteufel:
No he isn't mistaken. Just hover over the download button and it will say what was changed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] mark_6700:
Nope. Same thing on my phone. For some reason the mic shuts off when the speaker comes on. But hey, it's progress.

Devs are working on getting the sound systems working with Android on TP2. So there were some mods to kernel source today for that in reference to the various signal processors in the phone. That setting wasn't part of today's mods, I just found it by looking at the kernel source code.

Based on what I've seen on IRC, it's a tough process of reverse engineering that often involves writing debug code and wrappers for WinMo DLL files, then using the output to figure out how to make stuff work with Android on TP2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sykosoft:
I see that you're correct, however, to be honest, that's not very self-explanatory. There's not even a note that hovering over "Download" shows those comments.

Michael
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] hello00:
Yes there is..it appears a box that tells you what has been changed
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sykosoft:
I think you misunderstood what I said. I have now been made aware that the box appears, but there's nothing (that I see) that lets other users know this. For instance, I have been visiting that page for months, and was not aware of the fact that if you mouse-over "Download" that commit comments appear. Additionally, I occasionally visit it from other devices (phone, ipad, etc) and mouseovers don't always work properly there.

Michael
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] gehzumteufel:
I can see how that can be confusing.

Can't add gmail account

I uninstalled my old android port and installed the newest blzn froyo from 7/21. All my apps and settings were still there which was awesome, except I can't get the market place to work and I assume it's because I am not logged into my gmail account. I went to check my gmail status and it didn't have my account, I tried to add an account and I just get a black screen, nothing ever happens. What do I need to do?

Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Lennyz1988:
Maybe we are doing it wrong.

Maybe we don't need to add this line in the startup.txt but change it in android itself. I've seen a command box in android, maybe that's the way we need to change it. It's worth a try, now we only need someone who knows the commands :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
Anyone know how/where in /sys?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bughunt:
I had the same problem and I restarted the phone with a blank/fresh install.

You could try to delete the cache directory and see what happens.

By far, your best bet is backup and restart the phone with a fresh install, then restore your apps and settings.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] khatta:
I had to delete my DATA file in order to get the Market to work. This means I also lost all my installed Apps. :-(

CLRCAD

Hi All,

Has anybody tested "CLRCAD" with this XDAndroid Build? I know it works on the HD2 androind ports.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kopfpilot:
i tried it, but had still no sound...

Touch Pro2 CPU: Qualcomm MSM7200A

Touch Pro CPU: Qualcomm MSM7201A (GSM) / MSM7501A (CDMA)

HD2 CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250B 1 GHz processor

Desire/Nexux One CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250A 1 GHz processor

The differences in the MSM7200A make it hard enough to figure out the right bits that need to be addressed to have audio working...

I had no success using CLRCAD.EXE, but knowing about the different cpus used might explain it.

Though isn't sound a dsp issue? Couldn't find sepcs about the dsps...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] gehzumteufel:
You probably aren't aware, but the MSM7501A is only in the CDMA Touch Pro. The GSM Touch Pro has the same MSM7200 cpu series that the Touch Pro2 does. They are different in their own ways, but still very similar.

As for the sound, it has to do with routing. It is all going to the 3.5mm jack that most of us don't have. And even though some people do, it still doesn't work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Bieka:
Is there a difference between using the clrcad.exe on the cdma version and using it on the GSM Version? Or is it the same result.... no sound.... ;). My eyes are fixed on the Thread at ppcgeeks. Seems they work very hard to fix that bug?! Hope they'll get there breakthrough in the next time ;).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pi_mento:
Have the dev's from both projects sought collaboration on this issue? I'm no expert but i would think that the HD2 dev's could help the TP2 dev's on this issue...

..Or has this been done, already?

The new build is nearly perfect (for me at least) i can live without Camera and BT.... But living without sound.... No can do, Sir!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] adamsmiley:
Has anyone else notice that when you turn off the screen even though it is black it still puts out a little bit of light. I noticed this when I was in a dark place and pushed the button to make it go black. This could explain why I don't get good battery life when I'm in Android mode. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] gehzumteufel:
The HD2 has a totally different CPU, but they are all working on it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bughunt:
Hmmm... my Market worked just once and then it stopped altogether. The new apps keeps saying "Starting download..."

I've tried all possible combinations:

- Airplane, 3G

- Airplane, Wireless

- 3G & Wireless

:(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pi_mento:
After setting up your Google account, Market should automatically install all your apps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] khatta:
I experienced the same issue with a previous build but removing the DATA file fixed it. I also keep my WiFi Off all the time, unless I really need it. So I am always running off 3G.

Sorry ! Can't think of anything else. :-(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] khatta:
Interesting. I gotta give this another try because I never noticed if this is the case with a new install. Thanks for the tip !

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Atmosphere:
Something just occured to me... I'm a sound engineer... so i know all about feedback, sends/returns etc in a live environment, which is basically the same wherever you have a live microphone near a speaker....

In my industry there are 2 devices you can insert into the "sound chain"...

1. If an artist screams into a microphone, you insert a compressor, which essentially brings the input gain down, preventing the microphone from distorting....

This is practically achieved by "routing" the microphone VIA a compressor 1st, the compressor does it's processing, which you set manually, consisting of:

- Threshold (Input Gain)

- Ratio (How much of the threshold to process)

- Output Gain (How loud the output is)

2. If your microphone environment is too noisy, in otherwords if you are scared of feedback occuring, you can insert a GATE into the sound chain. This basically keeps the microphone "off" (or gated) waiting for input signal to be loud enough, which then switches the microphone on. Practically a simple example would be on a drumkit, where the drum A must not pick up drum B when the drummer hits drum B... the microphone on drum A is "Gated" and only opens when it is hit and the signal is loud enough (or close enough to the microphone)

You also set gates manually, consisting mainly of:

- Threshold (Input Gain)

- Ratio (How much of the threshold to process)

- Attack time (How quickly to process)

- Decay time (How quickly to release)

- Output Gain (How loud the output is)

In our industry, it is a common mistake where new engineers under stress forgets to take the "insert button" out of the chain... so they struggle to get any sound going to the speakers until they take out the insert button.

So with example a (compressors) and example b (gates), either of those 2 components may cause the speaker to stop working, if the device is inserted.

If you say that everything is being routed to the 3.5mm jack, what are the chances the designers have some sort of gating/compressor system in the sound chain, to prevent feedback/echo from happening... and the default settings are simply set to "off" or "maximum"... and its inserted by default.

...like i said - these devices are found everywhere... just in my industry it's something inserted physically as a separate device. So maybe everything works... it's just something in the chain which doesn't....

...hope it makes sense to someone
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] verbaltech:
Many thanks

To all who help his project come progress.

just the other day i dared to instal de xdandroid on my rhodium....... :eek:

so sweet the design the apss market ect (lol the sound -jokin-).

Basically I am a smortphone noob i set out to read thru all the 624 post regarding de froyo flash on the htc rhodium, afther a few days of seeing the number of posts grow i got too eager and skipped to around page 590.

Now afther reading trhu all the questions, awnsers and overal progress i am really happy to see how people all over the world join to create something so cool i feel like i felt the first time ever i played a computer game) I owned an samsung omnia htc blackstone and now a htc rhodium and for me this is by far the most interesting venture in modding a smartphone .

i really love the jazz wich is XDA

To those in the posts on the last few pages concerning no wifi .. maybe you should try connecting to wifi windows mobile then boot haret.

because i read here that dropbox is a good way to share and get acces to your documents; music photo's ect i installed it. It works but i

a. can't find where the files, wich i download from my dropbox files, are saved on my android device( yes still talking about htc rhodium froyo 2.2 blazn build)

b. my files are also on my sd card and the androids "gallery" sees most of these mediafiles but it either takes them a long long long (ect) time to open or this feature doesnt work yet

c. if try to acces these files thru oi file explorer i can find them on my sdhc card and they open but i cant make wallpapers out of my pictures

if i overread previous awnsers to these questions sorry ... and gimme sound lol (not even funny)

thanks in advance and keep up the good work and reefer>>> enjoy starcraft 2
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kopfpilot:
race condition :) while searching for the proper dsp names i discovered too and corrected while you where typing. You submitted your Reply faster then i edited mine :P
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] joshszman09:
Would the fact that the Rhodium has two(or three, idk) microphones for noise cancellation have something to do with this? Seems like the designers might have put these devices in to help with the background noise cancellation. Just a thought.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] captobie:
I've wondered the same thing. It seems like that is the one part of the Rhodium design that is significantly different than other devices.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] dirtypiratehooker:
I have been watching this as well, they sound like they have been making some progress....have my fingers crossed....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Kaostick:
Its likely that that is part of your battery issue. But keep in mind that power management is still a work in progress, and as time progresses and the port approaches completion, its likely that your battery life will improve. Right now, I'm kind of thinking of myself as a beta tester. Android on the Rhodium is awesome, and fun to play with, but I personally don't consider it (for myself) to be ready for daily use.

Let me clear about that last statement. It is NOT meant as anything negative towards the people working on this. I'm amazed every day at the progress they are making, and know it is FAR more than anything I could hope to accomplish. Everyone working on this should be proud of what they have accomplished.

As far as the light goes, I have seen the same thing happen quite a few times. Basically, (I think) what is happening is the back light is staying on, but the LCD is turning full black. But with mine, if I click the screen on, and then off again, the back light goes off as well.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cqk_king:
Thanks for your updated xdandroid.

I wanna ask a question, why my sprint touch pro2's screen is alway lighten even I press the end call button to make it sleep.

It is black but i can see the back light is still working

Oh well I might have "accidentally" fixed sleep. :p

We might have the same bug as topa about no wake on call problem though, but it's late now.

Edit: Mmmm I broke kernel build, Glemsom's kernel might take some time to be updated.

Edit2: I added a sleep-debugging feature:

The led will normally be amber/red/orange (whatever you call this thing.). (works only once you went to sleep at least once, or you started with red led :p)

When the system is in deepsleep (or dead, ahum.), it will be green.
