it will cut the pick to the proper dimensions to make it fit when you select it from the gallery. I would use at least 640x480 to make it look good in 240x320, it gives you plenty of resolution to work with.

i'm using an 8. i believe 16 works fine in our devices, I don't think 32 will work.

get a class 6 card.

size of the sd card when flashing to nand does not matter a huge deal if you are storing your data on nand. a 512 mb (theoretically, have not tried) should work fine if flashing to nand with data.img on sdcard, use at least a 1gb if you were to run everything off the sd card.

I have no idea on this one. hopefully others will chip in. i'm sure a google search might turn up some how-tos.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] radar5:
Thanks. I found out that it will let you crop it, I just wanted to make sure I gave enough border room that I wouldn't cut off someone's head in the pic.

how do i un-partition my sd card??
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
use a partition program to merge partitions. On my mac I just use disk utility. make sure you back up everything first.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] NuAngel:
My bottom line question: how does this thing know what my Carrier is? Windows Mobile, I have to install Carrier CABs - what happens with Android? I've not seen a single instruction on telling this thing if I'm on Verizon, Sprint, Metro PCS, whatever, whatever, whatever... (I am Sprint, BTW).

Is this something that may actually be in the 'install menu' of Android, or does the phone just connect to a bunch of towers until it figures out which one recognizes your ESN or something!?

NuAngel
[Touch CDMA Android Development] scottter:
I don't know the technicalities of how it works, but it does not matter. Android ROMS aren't carrier specific.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] NuAngel:
Good 'nuff for me. ;) Gonna start tinkering with it tonight.

Thanks!

[Touch CDMA Android Development] NuAngel:
okay one more question

OK, I just installed HARET and Myn's Warm Donut to my SDCard. Booted in to Andoid just fine! I did some tinkering, played around, and decided to see what happened when I booted back in to WM.

Windows Mobile now shows my clock as 4 hours ahead. It's a system clock thing, because even if I set the clock manually, items on my calendar don't show up, as though the time has already passed. I load back in to Android, and the clock data it is getting from the tower is correct. Boot back in to Windows, and it's back to GMT settings - even though it has EDT as the time zone.

Anyone seen this before?

*update* - I booted back in to Android THEN booted back in to WM6.5 (Barogi44's). It showed GMT time instead of EDT. This time, when I hit the center "OK" button to change the time zone again, it seemed to click back to the proper time. Odd.

i would love to watch tv episodes but my video is not working i can play some youtube videos but nothing else any word on having this fixed?:(
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
actually the carrier provisioning holds over from windows. if you installed a carrier specific win mo rom, or if you install the wrong carrier cab over win mo AND THEN flash to android, you will have problems.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
pretty sure this is normal (at least it used to happen to me when I was using haret), don't think there is a fix.

if you are talking about through the browser, it is not working because we don't have flash. other vid types should play. could you be more specific about what you are trying to watch?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] rickmatic:
i have nba league pass and when i try to watch highlights i see green on the bottom half of the screen and the other half freezes. i also try watching tv on an app called tv.com i belive and i can hear sounds but see no video. i tried myns warm donut. incubus super eclair 2.1 and incubus super hero get the exact same problem.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] NuAngel:
Just in case someone wants to know a simple fix for this: I have noticed that, GENERALLY if I let the phone sit for 2-5 minutes, it will get the corrected time from the tower. If it doesn't (or if you don't want to wait) just put the phone in 'airplane mode' then switch it back out of it. Upon reconnecting to the tower, it'll fix the clock.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] radar5:
Not sure what I'm missing here. I created the ext2 partitions on my SD card, but I don't see where to choose ext2 as an install option. I'm installing Myns Warm Donut and I downloaded the haretinstall.zip from 2/20/2010 incase Myn's files were modified for his install. TIA
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
I don't know a fix, and not quite sure what the problem is. others will have to chip in on this one.

so you flashed the .nbh or run haret, when the linux starts and you see black with white text, hold down the center d-pad, this will take you to install menu. the options for system and data are the ones labeled SD PARTITION. the ones labeled ext2 are actually to the regular SD card. select where you want the system file stored, and where you would like the data file stored. post if you have additional questions.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] radar5:
I'm running it through haret.exe, but I'm not seeing the options for system and data. All I get is the standard menu of 1. install system, 2. clear dalvick, 3. update system, etc.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
hmm, i actually haven't run the new install menu from haret, don't know if you are supposed to get other options.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] radar5:
well that could explain it. so ext2 is only for NAND installs?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
No, you should be able to run ext2 with sdcard installs as well. Are you running the latest zimage? And you did properly partition your card, right?

[Touch CDMA Android Development] radar5:
I'm pretty sure it's partitioned right (did it on a linux machine following the video tutorial). I have the zimage from the latest haret.zip Gonna try installing Super Hero today and see how that goes.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrono:
The menus for haret and nand are different, i just don't remember how they are, just that haret has less options.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
The haret menu should be missing sys on nand and data on nand.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] uwDanman:
I recently installed to NAND and its working great. I backed up my contents onto my PC before upgrading with PIM and now want to get them back onto my phone. I do not have a data connection and was wondering if there is any way for me to do so. I've had some luck with some of the suggestions in the FAQ about installing apps without a data connection. Are there any apps that would import a csv table into Android contacts?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] inertone:
go to google.com/contacts and select import and i think it lets you choose a csv file

or you can try this app: http://apps.doubletwist.com/iCSV-Address-Book/-7553836544932670477

Is there a way to reboot Android to get to the install menu without going through WinMo every time?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
yeah, install to nand :D

otherwise, I don't know of a way to do this when running haret.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] ahhl:
i am running myn RL5. on NAND. i've tried haret but got problem with partition the sd regardless partition it to multiple fat32 or with mix fat32/ex2/swap. computer and phone cannot detected. but the menu will list down the partition available like system on ext2, data on ext2 or system on fat32, data on fat32 and it still the same menu on NAND.

anyway thet backup/restore feature do not work. always give error (my sd on fat32, havinng problem to partition it).
[Touch CDMA Android Development] TheHoard:
*NEVERMIND* - I got it to work using the latest Warm Donut package.

OK I'm new to all this and I need some help, so forgive me if this is a lame question or if I've just overlooked something. I have a Sprint HTC Touch (Vogue) and I followed the guide to install Android via SD card to a tee and everytime I run haret.exe and my phone reboots I end up with the following error in Linux:

sh: 2: unknown operand

losetup: /dev/block/loop1: No such file

or directory

Failed

Failed to reach system.img on SD card

Right above that it says:

Hold down Volume Up or DPad

Center to launch installer

I've tried this holding down the center "OK" button in the middle of the directional buttons, the volume up button, and even the camera button, and every time I get the same error. I have the latest Tattoo package extracted to /root/andboot just as the tutorial says. In the tutorial it doesn't say anything about having to have a system.img file in the root directory so IDK what the heck is going on.

Am I missing something obvious? I'm getting an Evo 4G on the 4th so I only have a week left, but I'd still like to get this working on my Touch just for kicks. Any help is appreciated, and please take it easy on me if I'm making a stupid error. I'm not new to hacking/modding in general, but I am new to tweaking my phone.

I'm running warm eclair and am not getting the default boot screen. I cleared out boot animation on my sd card, and still nothing. I have system and data installed to ext2, is there another folder on there that could be storing this old boot animation and if so, how do i access it?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
hmm, not sure on this one. don't think the location of system/data should have any effect on this problem. try deleting the whole bootanimation folder on the root of the sdcard, see if it works.

Vogue to get a new phone number

Hello All,

Got a new Evo and now my wife has asked for my Vogue.

Background:

I have flashed "Myn’s Warm Eclair - [BETA 2]" to NAND onto my Vogue

I am getting ready to call Sprint Customer Service (*2) to have them switch her number from her current Rumor cell phone to her "new/gently used" HTC Vogue.

Question:

Do I need to flash WinMo back on my Vogue to be able to accomplish this transaction? To clarify, Do I need to flash WinMo back onto the Vogue

before

I call Sprint CS?

I really hope not.

TIA for your help!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] radar5:
I think so because they might need to have you edit some information which is only possible using WinMo. Once it's done you're good to go though.

Need a little help please

Wow!!! there was no response in over a day, I'll try again before I take my question to a more active thread.

Trying to understand why I can easily get all the Android builds running on my Vogue, but can't get the "phone" to work... you know the calling and texting part. In my searching I see reference to the NBH file, but the searching hasn't revealed an explanation as to the actual importance of this file other than references about resolution and density, but not connectivity. WinMo builds never give me connectivity problems so why would Android. I love Android but if I can't call or txt msg, I am left with an Android PDA.

Can anybody give me some help?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
Are you running off nand or sdcard? Try flashing a carrier Rom (win mo) to reset carrier settings then flash back. If running off sdcard I'm not sure what is going on.

In other news, been running my HTC supersonic (evo 4g) for a couple of weeks now. It rocks. Forgive me, but I may not be spending enough time reading the vogue forum to keep up to date enough to answer all questions.

Cheers.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
Double post
[Touch CDMA Android Development] HIYinOR:
Thanks!

Thanks for the response. I do run off the SD card.

I seem to have been able to get it working after switching phones on Verizon (I switch between 2 phones frequently). Still not sure why WinMo ROM's always work and Androids don't, but something happened when I swapped this time and I'm just glad it is working now.

I can't find 2 features that would be helpful

-the Keyboard calibration feature

-and an Advanced Device Info feature (something to tell which build I'm playing with today, RAM/ROM, Chip...)

Seems like I have seen both on different builds and can't find it now... and since it wasn't working, I don't even remember if I'm playing with warm donut or eclair now:confused:
[Touch CDMA Android Development] _CriMson:
I will mention I had a similar problem when I went from Donut to Eclair.. I still don't really know what the problem was, but I re-flashed the latest Eclair NBH and it solved my problem. I think there was just a glitch when I flashed it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
Screen calibration - calibrate screen app, should be included with (nearly) every build, in the app drawer

dev info - not much, but some stuff in settings-about phone area.

ive seen custom bootanimations somewhere before but now i cant seem to find the can i get a link?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dsmturbo:
I don't suppose there is any way to Mount the phone when running Android off sd card? I have been trying but it never seems to mount.

Perhaps I have to boot in to WinMo and then mount it that way?

All I want to do is copy some files to the sd card without always removing it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
you could try to buy "dual mount SD"; it somehow allows both system and usb access to the sd card at the same time; don't know if it'll work off haret, though. been a while since I've run off haret, i'll allow other's to pipe in on this.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dsmturbo:
Thanks Tatnai, I can actually see the card when in WinMO, but seems to crap out when copying files from it to my Mac.

I was going to try and play with Incubus' newest froyo, but not too sure on the procedure, if I can run it through haret from sd card.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] radar5:
there was an app AutoMount included in some of Myn's builds that worked in Android for me. Otherwise I have the same issue of having to go into WinMo, though I usually just use a card reader, but still need to reboot.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dsmturbo:
thanks radar5, it is just that they didn't make it easy to swap cards on these Vogues, LOL

DualMountSD works with Haret

Yes I can confirm that the Dual Mount SD app works great for me while running Android with Haret on the SD card. Its only $1 if you've got a data plan to download it.

You can also do a search and find instructions for mounting the SD card using the Android SDK provided by google installed on your PC, but I was never able to get that to work.

Several Issues

I just installed the latest Froyo onto my SD card, and am loving Android on my HTC Touch now. I am, however, having a few problems that I hope can be fixed easily before I decide to run it as NAND:

1) Camera - when I activate the camera, I can see an image for about a second or two, then it errors out with "The application Camera (process com.android.camera) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"

- is there something that I need to do for a fix for this?

2) GPS - my location is not working, nor is the navigation app - my GPS works perfectly in WinMo6.1 - I can even get 4-5 satellites inside

3) Bluetooth - when I try to activate BT, the "turning on" shows (greyed out) for a few seconds, then disappears - BT does NOT turn on.

edit: BT is actually running, as the blue indicator at the top is flashing. However, Android doesn't appear to recognize it since I can't pair my headset with it... something's amiss...

4) Clock - have it set to "automatic" for Bell's network, but it shows the time as "Atlantic Standard Time" - which is wrong - it's Atlantic Daylight Time - one hour difference

I want to keep using this, but the basics aren't working and I'm hoping that these are somewhat common issues that have already been resolved.

I'm running the stock Bell ROM (don't want to unlock and flash right now) on an HTC Touch.

where is androidinstall.tar?

I must be slow because I am having problems. I go to sourceforge page and get the latest build. But I can't find the androidinstall.tar file anywhere. Can someone point me in the right direction on what I need to download or am supposed to be doing with the downloaded files?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
you have an odd constellation of symptoms. do you have the latest bell radio on your phone?

things have changed a little. now the file should be named androidinstall.tgz. download the latest systexxxxxx.tgz, and rename it to androidinstall.tgz. i'll update the FAQ.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] can3gxw:
Yeah... been running it "forever". It's the last "official" one.

>>	ROM 3.08.666.1

>> Radio 3.42.50

I also tried a different build this morning and I'm getting all the same symptoms. Would this be because I'm not using it as a ROM, but rather running from MicroSD?

As far as the other apps go, I like it but it's not usable for me right now.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dsmturbo:
So if running thru Haret, do we need to add latest zimage to .tgz file, and also latest voguimg?

I am getting confused again with all the files, easy to confuse me
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
if running off SDcard through haret, you need:

androidinstall.tgz

zImage

both placed in sdcard/andboot/

you DO NOT need the .nbh file; this is just a different form of the zImage made for flashing (they are both kernel files).

Hi there1

I'm using a verizon xv6900. I just tried to install Android from microSD and after the installation I chose quit but this message shows up:

I would like to know what exactly am doing wrong.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] mensa07:
are you using haret?

is there a message like fix permission or something?

after installing and installer tells you that it cannot fix permission, try to manually fix by selecting fix permission menu. if it does not work do not quit, just reset and then restart with haret and let installer finish.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mp3coupe:
After reading this thread and searching for awhile I have a question about microsd. If I were to order a 8gig class 6 card will I be able to flash to NAND or do I need a 2gig card in order to flash to NAND? I already flashed the nbh file to the phone but my original card 512mb seems too small to run the latest android. Thanks for the assistance
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
the size of your sd card in regards to flashing only matters if you are trying to flash by placing the flash file on the sd card to do the actual flashing. if you are flashing using a computer, the size of the sd card does not affect the process.

I haven't tried it on just fat32, but it runs quite fast on the ext2 partitions. I ran Myn's Warm Eclair both ways and I noticed an improvement on reliability running from ext2. If you have the extra room on your SD card, I don't see any reason why not to run ext2.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] n0ppw:
Please don't flame me. I've searched and couldn't find what I'm looking for.

Anyway, I'm new to Android. Have a VZW Vogue with a cooked ROM installed (NagROM's last). I have all the radios off (mainly using it as a PDA).

I installed Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2 RLS11 and running from the SD card. Works great! But, when I connect it to my laptop (running Win XP Pro SP2) it detects the "Android Phone" but cannot install the drivers from anywhere. Under WinMo the laptop jumps right in and can fully "see" the Vogue.

Am I supposed to download drivers from somewhere and use or install them to get my laptop to fully recognize the Android Phone? I'd basically like to be able to R/W to my SDCard from Windows XP and possibly use the comnnection to let Android access the Internet, the Marketplace, etc.

Thanks in advance for your help.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] NuAngel:
Quick question,

I have Incubus' RLS10 installed via NAND, and I want to upgrade to RLS 11, but I don't want to reinstall all of my downloaded Apps, because I live in a non 3G area. If I hold the center key upon phone boot, and use the menu to BACKUP, then wipe, do the install, then use the RESTORE feature, what exactly is being backed up and restored (and is it being stored on my SD Card?)?

Thanks!

NuAngel
[Touch CDMA Android Development] radar5:
As long as you don't choose "wipe data" during the install, your programs/etc will remain. I think backing up and restoring will effective do the same thing, so there's no benefit to doing that over just installing. It does store to your SD card.
