I'm going to try this in the am but I'm not sure of my APN settings. I Have VZW can someone let me know how to find out my apn. I've looked before but had no luck although it has been a while. TIA! All you guys who develop,tweak, test all rock IMO!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Shidell:
Whoa. Fantastic work guys.. this is awesome.

I'm going to give it a shot shortly.

A few questions:

1. Is this using/incorporating jnadke's GPS improvements?

2. What libraries are incomplete? GL? Bluetooth?

3. Anything we can help with?

Thanks much! :D

Since this build is for 320x480 resolution, do I still use the 320x240 nbh file to flash first since I have a Vogue with that screen resolution?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
Android is the name and internet is the apn thats it

no flash the 320x480 one
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Shidell:
Wow dudes, you have really outdone yourselves. This is so much nicer and so much easier than the previous method.. wow.

This is going to make building images, updating images, and making them available a lot easier.

This kicks ass!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
Second.

*sigh*. ten chars.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] CyCLoBoT:
What am I doing wrong here:

1) I formatted my 8GB card to a FAT32 partition

2) Created an andboot folder on root of sdcard and put the androidinstall.tar file in it

3) I downloaded the latest 320x480 nbh file and put it inside the ROMUtility folder and renamed it to RUU_signed.nbh

4) I ran ROMUpdateUtility.exe and it flashed the nbh file

5) As soon as it restarted, I held the Volume btn up

At this point, I see a bunch of lines run up the screen and it stops at SD Init and not going any further.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Shidell:
Try formatting FAT as opposed to FAT32?

Sounds like you're following the procedure correctly otherwise.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
Did you leave the usb cable plugged in? Maybe try pulling it out after flashing, before you try to boot the installer.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] CyCLoBoT:
No luck unfortunately. I also unplugged USB cable before holding the Volum btn UP.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] sshark:
Flashing is so easy, even a caveman can do it.

1- Make sure you have working previous version build.

2- create a folder /sdcard/andboot

3- unzip eclair.zip using WinZip, copy contents (androidboot.tar) to /sdcard/andboot

4- Flash using new 480 NBH while in bootloader mode.

5- When booting finished, remove USB and wait for white screen to come up.

6- Hold down VOLUME UP as if your life depended on it. Install mode eventually comes up.

6- Choose option 1, when finished, hit on quit and within 2-3 mins, you should have your new OS.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] CyCLoBoT:
What options in the installer would you guys recommend for optimal performance?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
the only options in the installer are where to put the files :)

nand is generally quickest with our current drivers.

I'll post an androidupdate.tar for 240x320 in a minute
[Touch CDMA Android Development] manu33xtro:
Hi,

Excellent work I think but I've a Polaris and I can't use tha package with the bootloader (RomUpdateUtility)...:(

How can I do ?

Everything's work with Haret but impossible with Nand's project...

Thanks for help if it's possible !

Good job in fact ;)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
And here it is.

apply this update and you should be able to boot up with 240x320 resolution (you still need to flash with the 240x320 nbh)

to apply it:

1. unzip the contents, and copy androidupdate.tar to your /sdcard/andboot folder

2. during bootup hold down volume up to get the menu

3. choose the update option

4. thats it, quit and boot up
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
polaris user: try the basefiles instead of the nbh, but it hasn't been tested yet, i'll try to get it going tonight
[Touch CDMA Android Development] manu33xtro:
Ok. I try now but with an older rootfs and system version... I don't know if GPS is fully working ! Maybe not because I should have a new system.sqhs...

I hope you can help us (users Polaris) tonight :)

I wait for :p

Thanks in advance !
[Touch CDMA Android Development] manu33xtro:
Well just with the package and .tar : after boot with Haret (two vibrations) and I can see "Failed to reach system.img on SD Card" ...

If this can help you.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] JeckyllHavok:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] mssmison:
Sounds like these questions belong in the thread dedicated to the new install method where Vilord will see them. Not in the build thread :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] MWG_Thomas:
Heya, I really want to get this running on my HTC Nike, which I believe is very similar to the vogue, I am using the Haret method but once the linux blue loading bar loads, it just goes directly to a black screen.

Any idea why this is happening on my device?

Would really appreciate any help offered.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] JeckyllHavok:
Sorry, you're right:o

I deleted my post for keep this thread clean.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] PaceyWhitter:
vilord, two questions:

First, how bad is the voice search? I use that all the time and was wondering if it was usable.

Second, I'm not sure the procedure for 240x320. Do I flash the 240x320 nbh and then go straight to applying the androidupdate or do I need to use the androidinstall first, then use the update.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Shidell:
Voice search is comedic relief right now. :D Last night I spoke, "Android", and it recognized it as "free ####" (not explicit, it just recognized it as free followed by four hash symbols.. lol).

For 240x320:

Flash the 240x320 NBH, then load the androidinstall.tar in your sdcard\andboot\ folder, and hold VolUp while booting.

Also, make sure you open the androidinstall.tar prior to putting on your SD card, and modify the build.prop to change LCD density to 120 (or whatever you desire).
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Carrick1973:
What I did was use the 320 x 480 nbh file for the initial install (androidinstall.tar), then opened up the marketplace and accepted the terms of service so my phone would be tied to it with the higher resolution (and thus, I can see all the apps). I then got back to the bootloader screen and used the 240 x 320 nbh file for the update tar file (androidupdate.tar). The NBH file sets the resolution, and the update file sets the density to 120.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] plemen:
Really love the live wallpaper! Market isn't working for me - I'm getting a FC. Using nand at 320 x 240? Anybody have market working?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Carrick1973:
Mine's working like a dream. The live wallpapers are a little slow, but I've been using the Nexus for a good part of the day without too much slowdown. Hard to say what the battery life is though, as the builds haven't been optimized for sleep, though it looks like this one is supposed to be.

I loaded NAND at 320 x 480 first and the install tar file, loaded up Marketplace, accepted terms of service, and then updated with 240 x 320 NBH and the update tar file.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mssmison:
A good trick for voice search, either speak quiter or put the phone farther away from you.. When looking at the little microphone picture it shouldn't hit the top when you're talking. I've gotten accurate results since figuring this out :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] skydirt:
Awesome build, thanks!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] TheKartus:
I can't get this to load. I have everything on my SD card and Haret loads until it says Android, then it hangs...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mssmison:
Kartus, check with Vilord in his thread with the new files.. Your issue is related to that not the build.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] TheKartus:
Its past that, now its hanging on a backlit, black screen. Can someone just confirm this seems ok? Or am I at a point where I have a resolution set wrong? I have it at 320x480 I believe
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mssmison:
That is the correct resolution. What's ddms or logcat saying? If you have a 320x240 nbh installed than there is no bootup screen it's just black until the setupwizard (as with all eclair builds)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] TheKartus:
The issue was totally my fault. I was being stupid.....

But real and pertinent question... my calendar app showed up on my homescreen with a wrong icon and says it not installed. There is also no calendar in the app drawer.

EDIT: Also, when I try to open taskkiller or another app that I have in my AndroidApp folder.. they wont open then disappear from my homescreen.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
there IS calender in the app drawer :confused:
[Touch CDMA Android Development] TheKartus:
=/ Its not showing up for me. Not sure why. Could it be that I'm using a data image from the older 2.1 build I had?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
yea man i would just do a fresh install if i were you......start clean
[Touch CDMA Android Development] TheKartus:
Yeah, gonna do that. Gotta just grab astro to back some stuff up first.

EDIT: So its all up and running, but its not grabbing the apps from my AndroidApps folder. Won't recognize them in Astro to to install them. Any word on that?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
androidapps doesn't get used anymore. try appmanager or androzip to install them perhaps?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] detour522:
hey guys... what does it mean if everything on the screen looks super zoomed in? I loaded with the default default.txt which has 240x320 but all the buttons look extra large. thx in advance!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
that means you have to change the lcd.density in the build.prop just untar(with 7zip or what ever) the android install and edit the buildprob in system to say ro.lcd.density=120 or something instead of 160 which it is at
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mssmison:
Updated, see first post for the update file.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] skydirt:
Awesome update, thanks for including java.

However, the java force closes on me when I try and open it. May just be me. Does anyone else experience this?

I'm trying to run it in 320x480 if that makes a difference.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Try wiping your dalvik-cache from the new menu also make sure you don't have java installed in /data/app. If wiping dalvik doesn't work then wipe data and start clean. I know for sure that java works on donut so I hope it's not an eclair related problem.

Install questions...

Hello,

I am currently running Polyrythmic's Eclair 2.0 on SD Card with 2 EXT2 partitions successfully.

I am very interested in running this Eclair 2.1 version.

I followed the instructions step by step as stated on page 1.

My sdcard now has a folder called "andboot".

This folder has 3 files in it:

- androidinstall.tar

- androidupdate.tar (this is the QVGA update)

- VOGUIMG-320.NBH (this is for the 240x320 res)

Since I have a Sprint Vogue, I updated the build.prop file using 7Zip.exe as follows:

# ORIGINAL DATA ro.sf.lcd_density = 160

ro.sf.lcd_density = 110 (this is the setting that I am currently using with Eclair 2.0)

Here are my questions:

1) Do I need to copy HARET.exe to the "andboot" folder?

2) Do you recommend a specific ZImage file or use my Eclair 2.0 file?

3) Do I need a specific initrd.gz or use my Eclair 2.0 file?

4) Are there any other files I need to copy to the "andboot" folder ?

Thank you all in advance for your responses!

I've been collecting / doing some work on bt pan / reverse tether. one big problem is that android checks for connectivity before letting you do most things (market, gmail,etc) and the bt pan connection doesn't 'count.'

[Touch CDMA Android Development] drewden123:
Did you also flash to the latest 240x320 kernel before applying the update? If you did and the icons still seem to small, you can untar the qvga update and set the lcd density to 120 or 160 in the build.prop

What doe VOGUIMG-320.NBH do?

Hello CyCLoBoT,

I've got all files ready to go, however, I am reluctant to run the VOGUIMG-320.NBH without knowing what it will do to my phone.

Questions:

1) Will this affect windows if I decide to boot back to windows?

2) What does running the NBH file do?

I have Googled "VOGUIMG-320.NBH" and "NBH files". There are lots of search results links, but none of them explain what will happen.

Just want to understand what I am doing.

Thanks for your help!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] CyCLoBoT:
The VOGUIMG-320.NBH file will erase your Windows installation. That file is used to install Android on to your NAND (phone memory).
[Touch CDMA Android Development] CyCLoBoT:
I am also unable to pair my Jawbone Prime headset with the phone. Bluetooth is on and it does scan but its not picking up any bluetooth devices.

Thanks alot!

So, based on the instructions on page 1 "if you don't have the new nbh and basefiles it won't work". Any other options to run this build without installing the NBH file?

Thank you!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] drewden123:
If you're trying to run from SD, you don't need an NBH, only basefils and a zImage
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
haven't been able to see my bluetooth headset on android (bluetooth turns on, headset in discovery mode, nothing shows up when I scan for devices). I will pair in windows, then see if it works in android, i remember this being something people had to do in the past if things weren't working.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] CyCLoBoT:
When you extract the basefiles file, copy the andboot folder to the root of sdcard and also the androidinstall.tar file. Run haret.exe and as soon as you press Run, hold the volume button up. I have tried many times to run it off sdcard like this and it works just fine.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] JM-PDA:
Perfect!

Yes, at this point just running from SD card using two EXT2 partitions and 1 FAT partition.

Thank you so much!

I am going to give it a try now.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
anyone experience that one click on an icon in the app drawer doesn't open a program (flashes black screen and then goes back to home screen), but then a second click will open. seems to happen most right after boot, but won't repeat with the same program (i.e. if you already had to double click one program, it will open on first click after that?). weird. haret w/ ext 2.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] drewden123:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] Carrick1973:
Yes - I've seen this too on this build, but not on prior builds. Not sure if it's Eclair or the new install methodology. Other than that, the build seems stable and fast, but I haven't had too much time to dig deep.

This how the dialpad looks after applying the QVGA update:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] JM-PDA:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] krwilson:
I too have the keyboard looking like the photo above, after the QVGA update..........not a huge deal, but would be great if it worked for this is a great setup you have created mssmison, fabulous work!

One question, what is the "afterboot.txt" all about, at the bottom of post #1, I must be missing something, so if some one could explain please.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] sshark:
Once you install scriptscheduler (given in first post), scriptscheduler will run commands in afterboot.txt.

Where does afterboot.txt go? /sdcard or /sdcard/andboot?

Place scripts you want to run into the following files in the folder /sdcard/phonePrioritizer

Another question, does this bootloader system use .conf file?

Final question, any plans to provide bare-bone or optimized system?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] drewden123:
The dialpad will be like that in qvga eclair. You can set a smaller lcd density or resize the images in the phone apk
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Reddog80p:
The afterboot.txt goes on your sd card in the phoneprioritizer folder the app will create after you install it. The way I did it was to install the txt on my root. Then I used astro to copy and paste it in the phoneprioritizer folder.
