A way to get SMS working maybe

/dev/smd0sleep 1 we use for umts internet
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] HTCdemon:
That's something completely irrelevant.

HOWEVER after reading a little bit it seems that there is some sort of usb host functionality ( found in the bootloader... seems as though you can flash roms via flashdrives though a usb cable with a 5v power source )

As to then if it is possible? maybe... however I still would love a devs input on this. :)

i serched for mice but cudnt figure out wat to do

the is the #KERNEL=="mice", NAME="input/%k" entry and #KERNEL=="mouse [0-9]*", NAME="input/%k"

what should i do?

thanks in advance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Bombenbach:
change

KERNEL=="mice", NAME="input/%k"

to

#KERNEL=="mice", NAME="input/%k"

and it works :D At least on my TP2.

Can you confirm?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] badboy848:
sory i didnt get you

i already have those 2 entries in the file

so what should i do?

should delete the #KERNEL=="mouse [0-9]*", NAME="input/%k" entry?

and i have a tp2 aswell
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Bombenbach:
If you open the file you should have

inside. What you should do is to add a # before

so that this line will become

that's all
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] badboy848:
ohh thanks i cudnt notice the # the lines looked the same 2 me.

rebooting now ill see if it helped
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] badboy848:
works perfectly now i can click on a file and its selected not like before many files kept on being selected

thanks for the fix

also i cant seem to get mount sd to work

i typed in lxterminal

mount a b c

then

mkdir /sdcard

then

mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard

but it didnt mount the card all it did was tell me a bunch of stuff like i cant mount a device i can mount a filesystem

can any1 guide me through the steps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Bombenbach:
if you're using the latest build it's enough to run mountsd.

Check the wiki

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RhodiumUbuntu#Accessx20.yourx20.SDx20.card
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] walter79:
Works perfekt.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] badboy848:
nevermind about the mount sc i figured it out i must have made a mistake typing it in last time. or somethn.

any way to get the bluetooth to work can we use some files from the android port or maybe wm6?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Bombenbach:
Hey amiPro, I and some other rhobuntu users have just applied your fix and it works like a charm. No more unexpected clicks, everything is that precise.

You've already helped us with 3G and now we all owe your even more :cool:

THANKS!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Bombenbach:
Unfortunately Android guys still didn't manage to get bluetooth working on TP2

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] badboy848:
i just realised something we cant see the battery level in rhobuntu

is it possible to use the adroid or maybe the ubuntu kernel to find the battery and measure its capacity. and alo i noticed in the /etc/udev/rules.d/20-names.rules file there was an entry for speakers can we make sound possible by editing the file?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jsmith8858:
What a difference! THANK YOU!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] badboy848:
how do you instal the tar.gz or the src.tar.bz2 packages i cant figure out where to run make or anything else can someone help?

and what is everyones cpu level mine in between 83 to 100 is tht normal i think its supposed to be way less.

cant seem to open pidgin internet messenger either.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kwikit:
Sorry, I should clarify. I have the Sprint (CDMA) Touch Pro2, and the keyboard works, but the function key does not.

I'm saying that there is a missing XMODMAP file, or it has mistakes in it, that would enable the function key, as well as any other buttons you want... you just need to use XEV to figure out what the hardware button reports as a keycode, then map that keycode to an action. I'll look into it sometime by next week and report back.

If I can get some sort of keyboard completely working (hypens and underscores), I can then install components that are missing... including their dependencies.

I'm not so stressed about the virtual keyboard, but it's a hobby, so I would like to see it working just for practical reasons. I use OnBoard on my Viliv X70 and it's great. I also use Cellwriter. help.ubuntu.com/community/Accessibility/OnboardAndMousetweaksAtGDM (https again).

I don't mind the screen being flaky for now, and there is no urgent rush, but it would be great if we could get the screen more precise. But so far, it's a treat just to have Ubuntu running, so Thank You very much for your efforts.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kwikit:
Woo hoo. That worked, and thank you so much.

Now I can work on the Keyboard and some other stuff without getting all pissed off. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] grazykid:
thaanks for all

r we getting a new build with the fixes? Thanks for all ur work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kwikit:
Ami I right that we're using the keyboard file Keymap-2.6.map? If so, it looks like it has a bunch of extraneous / erroneous data in there, so we can write a new keyboard file, or bring one in from another install... how the heck can i install a file into the IMG file? I might just expand it to a partition so I can modify things easier and more naturally, as I'm used to.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] walter79:
you can also remap key

i added keycode 52 = z /user/root/.xmodmap

reboot

The TP2 android port still reports the battery level at 100% right up to the point your phone shuts off because it ran out of juice.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] amiPro:
Just add # to the beginning of the line.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] badboy848:
but atleast it knows its there and can measure its temprature
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] amiPro:
You are welcome. The random move of the pointer was a show stopper for me to make anything useful with ubuntu on my tp2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Boushh:

Someone should update that file in the repository or put it in the wiki or something.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] phhusson:
I haven't got much infos about the usb transceiver used in rhod yet, but the one in raph and diam is otg capable. So it's likely rhod has too. Concerning TV out, it's not linked at all with usb. I even think they don't share any pin.

Still, our controler isn't fully usb host capable: it doesn't provide a vbus. (ie the 5V).

But tvout and usb otg shares the same problem: we would need to update our kernel to 2.6.32 to get those drivers (or backporting those drivers)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Anderdroid:
Would this ever be able to use 3g Data from the Sim card?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] phhusson:
Just search, this has already been answered.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Anderdroid:
If they took off the darn 30 second search limit thing I would search more -_-

a search of 3g in this thread found nothing? Sigh.

You know, you could just make life easier for everyone just by re-answering the question? Instead of saying search?

Or you could say, hey, you should search, but the answer is ***************. Then that'd be a ... useful reply -_-

I still can't find my answer. It looks like Yes, but No? Dunno. I'll just try it myself. Is it already in? No idea. These threads are always over-crowded.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] phhusson:
I haven't a full browser in the hands, and I thus can't find that for you...

Search for ppp.notsh or maybe just ppp.

Concerning the time limit, use google.

How to calibrate in ubuntu touch screen on diamond ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] walter79:
Have a look to the wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RhodiumUbuntu
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kingofslide54:
I already did this:

open lxterminal and run iwlist eth0 scan essid YOUR_AP where YOUR_AP is the SSID of your WiFi router.

With my SSID.

I read the whole wiki but could'nt find anything I'm missing.

Sorry if I should have seen something else, but I can't.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sebbo90:
I think the blackstone deosnt use the bcm4329 chip so the drivers here wont work
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] araknos:
could someone make a decent video of the recent developments with wifi + calibration and post it to youtube? tnx
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kingofslide54:
Thanks, sebbo.

I thought that wifi drivers were on the zimage, and ubuntu used those. Am I wrong?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sebbo90:
Yeah the drivers are located in lib/modules and they are loaded up in rc.local change both of these and give it a go
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kingofslide54:

Rhobuntu

it would not install on my tp2, came up with an error so i am redownloading it.

but in the mean time im gunna try it on my mogul.:D:D:D

Update:

it took over an hour to install to the sd card (with the mogul). once installed i tryed to start up linux, adn i just froze at boot screen. so i took the sd card out of the mogul and put it ini my tp2 just for craps and giggles, tryed to start it up and... it loads, but i had to get back to work so thats all the farther i got, will update later.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jsmith8858:
Don't bother with the CAB installation, extract the RAR package to the root of your SD card.

I am not sure of the benefit of releasing a 200MB+ file as a CAB that extracts to over 800MB on the SD card....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] abrigo74:
i was goin g2 do that this mornign but i had to leave for work while it was downloading, i was already late cuse i was messing with this
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] badboy848:
i downloaded the "zImage-modules-20100312_215355.tar" extracted it and there was a zImage file whiche i replaced with the 1 i have in ubuntu folder on my sd but wat should i do with the "modules-2.6.27-00973-g1c4ee94.tar.gz"

also i realised tht wen i booted into ubuntu on my rhodium with the new "zImage" the eth0 entry is no longer present. and wen i put bak the old "zImage" file and rebooted the eth is there and my wifi works. so is there a problem with the new "zImage"file

downloaded zImage from http://zimages.googlecode.com/svn/au...312_215355.tar
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Boushh:
I'll try if I get time later on today (if no one has done it by then already).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sebbo90:
You need to replace the modules on your ubuntu with the ones that come with the new zimage you downloaded
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] icemanbv:
Here you have two videos with RHOBUNTU.

and another one on Tilt2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQoAiPLflsQ
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] badboy848:
so should i replace the files in /lib/modules/2.6.27/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/

or should i replace all of the files with the ones i downloaded ie "modules-2.6.27-00973-g1c4ee94.tar.gz"
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sebbo90:
I cant remember off the top of my head but look at rc.local and replace the four modules that are loaded there i think they are bcm4329.ko, cfg...ko mac802..ko and rf_backill.ko. I have done that with the new zImage and the wifi does load.

Hope this helps
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sebbo90:
in lib/modules, look at /etc/rc.local at it will tell you all four modules to change and the paths where they are

WIFI AD-HOC works without encryption

Ad Hoc works partial

Build 17. Mrz. 2010

Right klick on the start menu (panel on the top of the screen)

add/remove panel item

and add "net status monitor"

!!! to get it work

Use the same way like for normal wifi (lxterminal: wifi "YOUR AP"

click connect in wicd

wait until it shows "done connecting" (sometimes it works also with "none connection")

now:

you have to perform a right klick on the second network icon and click repair

a second net status monitor icon shows ppp0 if active

The new build Rhobuntu 1AM 17.03.2010 is online.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WZ7ONBR6

Changelog

-fixed the unprecise touchscreen (thanks amiPro!)

-added virtual keyboard mouse (not quite perfect, but well)

-sdcard is now automounted on boot

-added screen rotation via Hang Up button. In portrait mode you also get a virtual keyboard

-added stock wallpapers from Ubuntu Karmic (converted to WVGA)

-some new aliases to make our life easier: instead of iwlist eth0 scan essid YOUR_AP it's enough to issue wifi YOUR_AP.

-new apps: fbreader (book reader), stardict (dictionary software)

you can unmount your SD card by issuing unmountsd

-applied sztupy's patch to allow devices other than Rhodium use ts_calibrate

-using a newer Android kernel (14.03.2010, thanks walter79!)

-some minor fixes

How to use virtual keyboard mouse

Virtual mouse is activated by the Power Button, which acts as CapsLock. Once activated

you can use up,down,left,right to move the mouse a little bit (slow and precise mouse). By

pressing i,j,k,l you can perform fast mouse movements. n and m als left and right mouse

buttons and "." is Esc. To turn the virtual mouse off simpy press Power Button again.

-You can download the complete and very detailed changelog here:

http://rhobuntu.googlecode.com/files/Changelog_Rhobuntu_1AM_17_03_2010.tar.gz
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Bombenbach:
I also have to make a personal statement:

Last 7-8 days I spent a lot of time dealing with Rhobuntu and making new builds but unfortunately my holidays can't last long and in three weeks I'm facing two exams for which I still didn't learn much. After that I'll we writing my bachelor thesis which effectively means that I'll scarcely have any free time till august. That's the reason why I have to reduce my project activity.

I don't think that this is going to be a big problem for us all, as I'm not a real dev and don't know much about the way Linux works and all I did before was mainly implementing suggestions and tipps I got here in this thread. So we will need someone to make new builds and to help araknos with testing kernels and getting Xorg to work.

I even think that this small challenge can be good for us all, because it can't be that I'm the only person here to decide what comes in a new build and what not. We are a community project and not an autoritarian one and that's why it is important that all active developers are involved in creating and releasing a new build.

I'm not giving up.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kingofslide54:
hi, bombenbach.

this changelog sounds like a dream come true. Im already in bed -its 4am here- but Im trying it as soon as I wake up tomorrow.

Thank you for everything. Im not a linux expert -in fact, im not even an average linux user- but I have got some experience on graphics coding and I could make some changes to nautilus to make it more finger friendly, when Im able to spend some time on it -not right now.

btw, I will keep trying any new version on my blackstone and reporting feedback... and also asking for help.

request for you and all other devs: could it be possible to provide device-specific startups, like people on android projects do?

thanks again... and good luck with your studies!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] stained-steel:
Thank you for your time and effort up until this point... Afte your exams, We'd all LOVE to see you back, helping to develop this much further!

Thank you again!

PS: Good luck on those exams!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] walter79:
I could help araknos with testing new kernel. I can also make implementation of tipps in new builds. But i need still some help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] aq3e:
Thanks for all your help!,

New build @ megaupload's link gives me "The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable."

EDIT: Link now works. :P

Can we get a Hotfile or some other hosting site perhaps (I can hose Hotfile if thats an issue)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jsmith8858:
With the latest release (which so far looks and works great! Love the rotation and onscreen keyboard) do the steps for setting up a 3G connection as done previously and shown on the wiki ( http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RhodiumUbuntu#HOWTOs ) still apply? Or, is there a new process?

I was able to install the packages, but could not get the ppp.txt script to execute successfully -- it came up with errors along the lines of "persist is not a valid switch for pppd".

UPDATE: Never mind, after a reboot the script worked fine and I'm now connected. I added a "reboot Ubuntu" step to the Wiki, if this is incorrect feel free to fix it up.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] walter79:
New Build is great.

Next step for me. Build with xfce4 Dektop.

xfce4 works great on my old build.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] walter79:
First bug in new build, synaptic doesn`t work correct.

Can marked for install.

Download ok

After that no installation process.

FIX:

open lxterminal

apt-get remove synaptic --> apt-get install synaptic
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] segadc:
Will there ever be version where 3G and Wifi are built in (ie do not have to use terminal or whatever to get it to work)? I don't really have much experience (I guess I could read the wiki but it might be over my head).

Also is the cab version safe? I feel like I should just stick with the zip version since it seems quicker and safer. Maybe there could be a icon cab for this version?

Thanks again this is definetly exciting!

Hi men. booting it.

Any tip to make a good startup for blackstone?

*Edit: booting with the standar rhobuntu startup, it hangs with a message "unable to handle kernel NULL pointer derfere..."
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jsmith8858:
Are you posting a solution that fixes the issue, or are you just telling us what you tried and even after re-installing it still didn't work? It's not clear ...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kingofslide54:
-reporting on blackstone.

I managed to boot with this startup:

set ramsize 0x10000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 2030
set FBDURINGBOOT 0
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "msmts_calib=0x9f.0x39a.0x35c.0x78 lcd.density=240 msmvkeyb_toggle=off wifi.mac=00:18:41:FE:26:C5 board-htcraphael-navi.wake=1 msm_fb.fix_x=1 board-htcdiamond.adb=0"
boot

Since I don't understand most of the parameters, I think I've been lucky... btw, boot was very fast.

Well, it feels VERY fast, but...

I still see the calibration screen -should I?

Once in desktop, I can't click anything near the borders of the screen, includind the menu bar. I made the calibration the same way as in previous version, but now I have a limit.

Power button opens a terminal. Any other button makes nothing (neither the four buttons under the screen, nor the volume keys). I can't see any vitual keyboard, I can't rotate the screen...

I think I could fix all these problems with a correct startup, but I don't know what to do...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] walter79:
solution for fix
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Boushh:
Try messing with this part in line 7

"msmts_calib=0x9f.0x39a.0x35c.0x78 lcd.density=240

That is to configure the corners of the screen, however I don't know what the numbers should be changed to, good luck.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kingofslide54:
Oh, thanks!

I'll try to replace it with the same line from an android-blackstone startup. I think it will work ;)

Does anyone know how I can roate the screen without physical keys? It looks that they're not working on blackstone -or maybe it's because of screen calib.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kingofslide54:
Ok, I replaced the calib and now I can use the whole screen on Blackstone. Performance is wonderful.

But... still not able to rotate the screen or enable the screen keyboard...:(

Any tip?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] boxygreg1982:
Tnx Bombenbach. You did good for all of us. I'm just downloading the new version (17.03.2010). The old one works well, needs improving but it still works. I tried installing on ext partition and that worked too. If there's anything i can do just say the word but in the mean time i'll keep playing around with this one. I dont know much about kernels but learning never ends. There's a first for everything.

Good luck in your exams
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] boxygreg1982:
