[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Bombenbach:
New Jaunty 9.04 Build 11.04.2010

NEED TESTERS

http://rapidshare.com/files/374730149/Jaunty_11_04_2010.7z

This build deals with problems which occur when running Rhobuntu on some Rhodiums and on all non-Rhodium devices which are supported by the kernel (Diamond, Raphael, Blackstone and Topaz) I don't know how good Rhobuntu may or may not run on those devices, so their support is still highly experimental. For this I mainly ported hardware detection routines (bash scripts) from Reefermattness' Project Android Build(03/31).

WARNING

If you intend to run Rhobuntu on Diamond, Raphael, Blackstone or Topaz, i.e. NOT on Rhodium , you MUST edit start.txt first, or hartet will hang up. The most important step is to change mtype to the one which is appropriate for your device. There also might be some special cmdline options needed which I am not aware of, because I have only Rhodium. For the correct mtype and cmdline check out the appropriate forums listed in this post by Reefermattness

If your device has no keyboard, you can activate one by changing "msmvkeyb_toggle=off" to "msmvkeyb_toggle=on" in start.txt on running /usr/bin/xvkbd or /usr/bin/rotate

You can post your feedback in this thread, especially if you've got a properly working start.txt tested with Rhobuntu.

PS I was told that our kernel might also support Kovsky (Xperia X1), so you might give it a try, but no gurantees

Diamond owners: to mount your SD card issue

mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk0 /sdcard

in lxterminal (thanks, P0MM3S!)

Changelog

touchscreen calibration should now work not only on Rhodium but also Diamond, Raphael, Blackstone and Topaz

Rhobuntu tries to determine which device you are using and to boot the right wifi driver. This should work quite well with Broadcom WiFi.

As for TI WL1251 I just took fatsal's Xperia routine which might but probably won't work here. So don't expect too much for WL1251.

using haret.exe and startup.txt from Reefermattness' Project Android Build(03/31). Maybe this can solve problems with haret not running properly on some devices

your MAC address is now autodetected by reading the NVRAM (works only for Broadcom WiFi)

improved/added keyboard mappings for UK, DE and FR

activated jaunty multiverse and restricted repos

Highlights

if you accidently calibrated your touchscreen wrongly, edit startup.txt and change "recalibrate=false" to "recalibrate=true". On next boot your old calibration file will be deleted and you'll be able to calibrate again. After calibrated succesfully edit start.txt once again and change "recalibrate=true" to "recalibrate=false"

support for different keyboard layouts. Edit start.txt and change "physkeyboard=rhod100_uk" to "physkeyboard=DESIRED_LAYOUT"

Currently available layouts are fuze, raph, tilt2, rhod210, rhod100_uk, rhod100_de, rhod100_fr, rhod100_it, rhod400.

At the moment only rhod100_uk, rhod100_de and rhod100_fr work. Unfortunately, the keymaps provided in Reefermattness' Project Android Build(03/31) are not really useful for Linux, so we need new keymaps.

if you want to update your kenel, grab the newest package from

http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android/#

and extract both files to /ubuntu. Rename zImage.2010xxxx_xxxxxx to zImage. Edit startup.txt and change "modupdate=false" to "modupdate=true". The modules will be updated on Rhobuntu boot. After a reboot change "modupdate=true" back to "modupdate=false". The result of the update will be logged in /ubuntu/update-log

Known issues

wrong time problem (+2h) still persists

entering special unicode charakters (like ö, ä, ü, é, â, € etc.) works only in console but not when running X. You can, however, still use

the virtual on screen keyboard (xvkbd) to input those characters. Xvkbd also supports layout switching (hit on xvkbd button near Caps Lock -> Change Keyboard Layout ...)

Shift+Altgr+O,Z,R,D won't work (probably already defined somewhere as a compose keys)
