anyway around a bad camera button?

Thanks for the guide, but about a year ago my camera button seems to have stopped working. Is there any technique that doesn't require the reset step?

Thanks.

Where is the cancel button?

Thnaks for your guide. I can installed android os in my phone (htc vogue telus).

However, when I execute some program in my phone, I could not end that program. (There are no home button in my phone.)How can I close it? For example, when I enter the dial menu, any button is not work to close it. I think Menu button is power button, but I don't know another button which means close program.

can u help me?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
Use the camera button to go back, hold for 1 sec to go home, hold longer for a list of recently used programs.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] necafe:
thanks a lot. I got it. But my phone do not support wifi. On window mobile, I connected internet with usb cable, but I don't know how to connect internet on android platform. Do you know about that? And I think camera button is switch button not close button. Is it right? and then how can I close program?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
The only internet on Vogue android is the cellular data connection.

You don't really close programs in android, you switch away from them. The system will close things as necessary.

How can I use another language?

I am very happy thanks to you. I could know how to switch program and I can use internet through data plan only. But, I want to change language with Korean or Chinease. How can I do? Does it necessary change full .nbh file? If it is hard, just let me know how to install other language.

Thanks..

ps. Is there file manager?(or file explorer) When I install some non market program, how can I select .apk files?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] necafe:
Choose the free account (slow download)

You can get file with clicking slow download button. It is little slow, but you can get the file. Try again.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrstak:
Thanks for answering thoughtlesskyle and mrkite. I tried activating the Vogue I have but the EPST menu wouldn't show up but I finally found a fix for it (cab install over at ppcgeeks). Will be trying to get it activated later tonight and then hopefully install Android and then get it up and running. If I do get Android running and activated and all, and I switch back to my TP2, would I need to reactivate the Vogue in WinMo before going back to Android again? Like would I need to go back to the EPST menu in WinMo before going into Android.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrstak:
Another question guys...in order to flash from Android back to WinMo, I can go straight into bootloader via the same buttons pressed?

Edit: After some searching I found the answers I need. Thanks for the easy step by step guide! I will be booting into android tonight (w/o provisioning the phone) to play around with first. Then I will decide if I wanna provision it.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] Birdmanravo:
Hello! Thanks for posting such a great tutorial. I've hit a snag installing Android. I followed the instructions but the install hangs in an endless loop that ends with the message "dmmi: busy". This in using a Sprint branded vogue using an 8gb Sandisk with a 6/2GB fat32 / linux- swap partition layout.

I found one post in the entire forums regarding this error, the poster solved it by switching from an SDHC card to a smaller SD card. I have a 2 gig SD card on the way to test this, but in the meantime can anyone confirm / deny this bug or offer any insight into the issue? Thanks.

UPDATE:

The problem was the 8 gig SDHC card.

I pulled the card from the phone and opened DMESG in Notepad. Flashing android failed because the installer couldn't find the androidinstall.tar file. The dmmi:busy error was completely meaningless BTW. Using the 2 gig Kingston microSD card fixed every problem I had flashing ROMS to my Vogue.

Sketchy SD card

Hey, I've been trying to install Android on my Vogue (tried both with the Froyo and Warm Eclair versions) but when I get to step 15, I tell it to install and it runs through a few lines of code (it looks like it doesn't see my SD card, I spotted a line that said the file path wasn't there) and returns to the install menu. I ran it once without any SD card at all and it looked like the same text.

SO, my question is: is it definitely the SD card that's sketchy? Should I get a new one? The one I'm using now is some random Japanese brand.

Also, barring buying a new Micro SD, is there a way to finish the last two steps over USB?

Thanks for your help!!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
Did you try booting after install? There are some permissions fixes at the end of install that try some nonexistent directories. It may have worked fine.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jake044:
Can someone help me get past step 12? I followed all the instructions correctly but i can seem to see where it says "Hold down Volume Up or D Pad". and it just hangs at where it says: "Rebooting in 3 seconds.."

sd card apps/ gps

I just upgraded from booting android from my sd card to nand, and it is 100 times better. But I have a few questions regarding this:

1) Is there any way to access the gps receiver in the vogue in android nand yet?

2) Is there any way to expand the internal memory of the phone to run apps off of the sd card?

I apologize if these questions have been addressed earlier in the thread, I haven't read through it all.

thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
1. Yes. Which carrier? Verizon can be a pain.

2. sort of, froyo can offload certain apps to the sdcard. Also, search for apps2sd.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tygr22:
1. Yes it's verizon :/ is there some directions I could follow?

2. ok, so there really isn't a way to use like 1000mb from the sd card as internal memory to run apps off of?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
For gps, see the stickied faq thread. It links to a post in the general forum that should get it resolved.

For apps on sd, some apps can be moved there under froyo. After installing, go to settings, applications, manage applications, all apps, click the one you want, then look for a button that says move to sd card. The problem is that the app has to explicitly support that feature (piracy, you know.)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] crobs808:
Did you check out Apps2SD? If not then do that first, as already suggested.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jake044:
I think Android fried my SD card, cause its not reading it. Is there any way i can fix it?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tygr22:
GPS and sd card again...

Hey guys thanks for your help but...

I got the gps to work and it gets 8-11 satellites in sight outside, but it never gets a fix. And I can't see the satellites in gps test, just one that sits at north the whole time. Also tried gps status with no success.

Also I got App2sd, and when I chose to move all the moveable apps to the sd card, they didn't work anymore. I don't know why.

I think the build/ the way I installed it may be the problem.

I'm using the most current .nbh, and RLS16 from Incubus

Would someone be willing to attach/put links to the .tar/.tgz, .nbh, and the RUU Update Utility that they are using with everything working.

Also is your sd card partitioned with just FAT32?

Thanks for all your help everybody, I'm determined to get this working!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Jacob_newton:
Thanks for this guide, it's awesome.

Now to the questions.

Is there any way to swap the functions of the "end" button and the "camera" button? The current scheme is very awkward in my hand.

Some apps are erring out, like the camera, and bar code scanner. there are more but I can't remember them now. The error says "sorry! the application... has stopped unexpectedly..." Anyone know what might be causing this?

Edit: Just realized that the apps that are erring are camera apps. I'll test some more but I think my camera is the problem.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
The guide's a little out of date, because the kernel you downloaded is probably 2.6.32 for froyo instead of 2.6.25 for donut. Try

http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/voguimg-240x320-02-07-10.nbh

Or check the 2.6.25 thread in the forum. See if one of those fixes you camera problems.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Jacob_newton:
I just went and got myself real confused.

Is the .NBH file the same for all android roms?

In the warm doughnut thread under optional it says "Odexed Warm Eclair RLS 5 - Faster performance but less theming options".

Is warm eclair faster than doughnut?

In the warm eclair thread under optional it says "Odexed Warm Eclair RLS 1 (240x320) - Faster performance but less theming options [Includes working camera]."

Which one should I get? is RLS 1 actually faster than RLS 5? does RLS 5 not have a working camera?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] crobs808:
You are misunderstanding the title/wording. The "faster performance" does not mean "faster than other roms", it means that the ROM has been "odexed" which means it is faster than the non-odexed version of that release. In fact, the fasted build for the HTC Vogue is myn;s Warm Donut, then myn;s Eclair, then Incubus's Froyo. There are a lot of thing you have to sacrifice to use Froyo. I prefer the speed and functionlity of myn's Warm Donut RLS5 Odexed version, to Incubus' slow Froyo. Sure, Froyo might be new, but it does not perform as well as myn's Donut. I just tried Incubus's latest SuperFroyo 2.2 odexed version installed via NAND, and it still is much slower than Donut, so it's back to myn's donut for me.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
As for the nbh question, the answer is no. There's waaaaaaay to much backstory to post. try the nbh I linked with warm donut rls 5, the camera should work.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Jacob_newton:
Thanks for the help! Everything is running quite smoothly other than a few things.

I can't seem to uninstall any apps that came with doughnut. I want to get rid of astro because it needs an update to function but it won't update.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] crobs808:
You can uninstall Astro, but not other apps like Google Talk or Mail or built in stuff.

I would recommend AndExplorer. It is a great alternative to Astro, and since Astro is now long expired in the ROM it has the time nag screen and you have to wait forever.

Here is what I do on fresh Donut installs regarding the file manager I use...

1. Download the AndExplorer APK file here: http://www.lysesoft.com/products/andexplorer/#download

2. Copy the APK to your SD card

3. Open Astro (wait for the time nag screen to go away - it takes FOREVER, anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes, but the nag message finally goes away).

4. Browse to the location you put the AndExplorer APK file and tap it to install. (You may have to wait through 2 or 3 more time nag screens to complete this process, and you may also need to relax the security settings on allowing APK installs, but you will get prompted to do that if it is necessary)

5. Once finished installing AndExplorer you can uninstall Astro by dragging the Astro shortcut from the programs menu, down to the "x" at the bottom of the screen and waiting until the "Drop to Uninstall" text appears.

6. At that point let go, and it will uninstall Astro.

You can now use AndExplorer for everything that Astro did, even the Install Launcher/Manager works in AndExplorer for installation of APK files, just like it did in Astro. AndExplorer is also free, and you will never get a time nag or trial messages.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Jacob_newton:
Thanks for the andexplorer tip, it looks better than astro.

Astro will not uninstall. I have attempted three different ways including the phones uninstaller in settings, dragging to the "x" and holding until it says uninstall, and using a third party program. still gives the uninstall unsuccessful error.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
If astro is under /system/app it will be difficult to remove. I thought myn had stopped putting it there but maybe that was in eclair, it's been a while.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] Spalla:
I want to upgrade my kernel version and install the latest version of Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo, but doing it this way will not work for me. It just hangs at 0% progress bar and opens up the recovery procedure.

I've tried other methods as well, such as putting the 'voguimg.nbh' on root of formatted 2GB SD card and even trying Coke's unlocker, but they won't work either.

I unlocked my phone

I can see 2.31.coke in the bootloader

I have created andboot directory on the root of my sdcard with androidinstall.tar from Myn’s Warm Donut

I have renamed “voguimg-240x320-2.6.32-froyo-09-10-10_23.nbh” an copied it to “RUU_signed.nbh”

I have executed “ROMUpdateUtility.exe” and it went from 0% to 100%

When the phone reboot, I have disconnected the USB cable

I can see the Linux penguin and a lot of command

The last command is “5.532897 Rebooting in 3 seconds..”

The phone freeze and I can’t see the menu

I tried to hold the volume up or D-Pad but it still frozen

After the ROM Update, is it normal that I still see 2.31.coke in the bootloader?

Is it normal that I use the nbh file and I don’t use the zimage file ?

[Touch CDMA Android Development] dsmturbo:
I can't remember if one can do this, but can I flash Android to my Vogue using just an sdcard?

If so, what files are required for the card and does it have to be 1gb fat32?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Ussery.Matt:
Nice tutorial. However i am having hard to understand it.. may be bcoz i am new to android programming :-)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
It has to be a non-sdhc card. You need a voguimg.nbh on the root, then go in to bootloade
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dsmturbo:
Okay, thank you. So the VOGUIMG.NBH will flash the proper zImage file then? I am thinking of trying Scoot's Cyanogenmod.

I better read some more cause I am still somewhat confused.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dsmturbo:
OK, found the old post, now just to figure out what zImage is latest for Scoot's cyanogemmod.

So I rename latest zImage to VOGUIMG.NBH on root of 1GB card, then androidinstall in andboot folder on same card, put phone in bootloader mode and should flash to Nand?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tylerf:
my phone doesnt seem to be able to go into bootloader mode.

I've tried power button, then camera button, then soft reset button, but it just resets the phone, the tri color screen wont come up.

I've tried doing camera button first, then power, then soft reset, it still resets the phone normally.

I've pushed the buttons till my hands are red.

Any idea what I could be doing wrong? Or is it a phone-related problem?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Marcil:
You have to press the 3 buttons for 2 or 3 seconds.

Press the power button, than the camera button and the soft reset in this order.

Good luck !
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
More specifically, hold power and camera, then push and release the reset button, wait for tricolor, then release power and camera.

first step help

Okay so I just started messing with the vougue for the first time. Ive had it sitting around a couple years as a backup and now I am using it. Ive put android on the SD card and had that running a couple days smoothly. I want to install it to the internal memory so ive come to this thread. The directions look pretty understandable the only thing im confused about is the prep. It says to make sure you unlocked your phoe with CoKe so ive downloaded that, but it also says to flash it to a custom windows rom. Thats where i'm confused. What custom windows rom would you recommend to install? I have no idea where to start with that so a link to a working rom for that step would be great. Thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:

So do i put my phone in bootloader mode and then to flash the NFSFAN rom do i just click the ROMUpdateUtility.exe? Or how do I actually initiate the flash. Confused about that part. I could do the trial and error myself but I'm trying to do this in 1 shot.
