[P3600 Software Upgrading] Pokett:
Hi everyone.

I'm new to this area, but i would like to learn how to upgrade my HTC 3600 ROM to xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=494727 (can't post links yet)

from an extensive thread reading and from my poor knowledge when it comes to ROM upgrading on mobiles i was unable to find the steps or the tools to use to upgrade.

Can someone redirect me to the right place where i can find a tutorial or some detailed explanation on the steps to upgrade my current ROM to the one i linked above?

Thanks in advance.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Pokett:
here it goes

Hi again..

i found out that there's a wiki here... with a lot of usefull guides.

but still as a noob i don't understand what to do or how to begin.

i'm currently with a couple of questions regarding what i want to do.

My HTC 3600 got WM5 atm with this specifications:

ROM version: 1.23.410.2

Rom Date: 03/13/07

Radio version: 1.38.00.11

Port version: 32.71.7020.12H

extRom version: 1.23.410.103

so what do do next? do i need to upgrade any of these above BEFORE flashing the rom i want?

this is the first step to do?

wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Flashing%20Guide
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Pokett:
never mind!

i found out after reading all the wiki and other related posts.

And i found it quite simple to do the entire process.

I have now my pda unlocked AND with one ROM that i selected from this website!

for the ones that are stuck with the same problem, i recommend to check out the wiki, and search.

Basically what people need to do is to Unlock the PDA using the tools provided here, then flash the ROM using the flash tutorial in the wiki.

And that's it. Simple.

is it possible to get the Nexus One operating system to run as HaRET on the Kaiser?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] aikeru:
The Nexus One runs Android 2.1 with some custom UI stuff made by HTC(/Google?). Technically the answer to your question is "yes".

If you are asking "Can the Kaiser duplicate the exact same look and feel as the Nexus One?" the answer is No.

YMMV but in my experience there are some really good Kaiser android builds in the forum here. They may not have animated wallpapers, voice search, fully functional bluetooth or camera, but very impressive for the Kaiser. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Zd0s:
Thanks

thanks i will have a look but can anyone suggest one that has the the feel of the Nexus One because i don't no whether to buy one

Thanks

Zac
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
If you have the option , buy one. Running Eclair on your Kaiser will not give any kind of indication at all , how the Nexus One will be. The Kaiser has a smaller screen less than half the processor speed, and will only boot from inside WM.

You will probably learn more by watching you tube videos of the Nexus One than by running 2.1 on your Kaiser.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
Moved as not ROM Development.

Like others state theoretically possible but spec wise the Kaiser does not cut the mustard.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Disturbed21:
There are some new versions of 2.1 that alredy has animation working and voice search and camera the only thing different from the nexus one is the menu
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Zd0s:
Got the Nexus

i got the nexus one now it's great but I'm not gonna change any software on it because i just want to see what the actual phone software on it is like.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
That is an easy equation

Google + HTC = crap

Google + HTC + XDA = fast, smooth, no bloatware, useable
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Zd0s:
WRONG

no it's actually really good not slow at all and i will cusimize it once i just see what it can do without any off that because i have no doubt xda will make it a lot better.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markus214:
Ok so i've searched and only found a ROM that has it on JAC's ROM of Eclair by a user. My question is there a way to install the HTC_IMe.apk to a elcair rom like king's and make it work? When i try to put the HTC_IME.apk on the phone and uninstall and install thru astro it says cannot be installed anyone have any ideas please?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markus214:

I don't know about you but I just use Linda File Manager and just install the HTC_IME.apk for Android 1.6 and it works perfectly.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macrophage001:
Get the clicker.apk and HTC_IME.apk

install clicker

install HTC_IME

btw theres a search engine for a reason. people have already posted about this topic so many times that no one wants to re post again and again. I guess Im the only patient one nowadays -.- lol

Can somebody make a tweak where you would be able to press enter on the keyboard and send a text message. I Love sense 2.5 but when im using HTC messaging i tend to forget that its not like the standard WM messaging where the send button is at the bottom. And ill hit back and have to type my message ALL over again. so either have the enter button to be able to send or move the send button on the SENSE 2.5 to the bottom row and remove the back button?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jdmsleepr:
yes this can be done with to programs...mortscript and rhodium keyboard control...you can write a script to mouse click in the send spot...then map it to the enter key...hope this helps!!

[Omnia II General] pavel12345:
Hi,

I am pretty new and my english is not so good, but as many of you I am getting angry with Samsung Omnia II OpenGL driver poor quality.

For those who doesnt know what is goin on:

Samsung is confusing consumers that Samsung Omnia II has 3D accelerator inside, but the true is that the OpenGL driver is written badly and than there are many slow 3D applications or no running applications due to this problem.

There are some gifted customers, that are trying to create running version of driver on their own, but Samsung is the one who should do some certified OpenGL drivers for any app on WinMo!

In my opinion the only way that Samsung will do something is to create an online petition and send this information to much forums as possible. This can notify an online magazines and online media. Than Samsung have to do something or they will loose new customers, current customers and their nice looking Samsung Omnia II marketing strategy wont help them.

The questin is. Is someone experienced in doing such a thing like an online petition ?

If so, please let me know and I can help to create it!

Thanks

After many tries here is it, my first beta for Android Eclair 2.1 for the Nike.

Work is still in progress and maybe out there there is someone who would like to help me in this project of porting a working version of android 2.1 to the nike.

Files:

http://rapidshare.com/files/363158134/20100103_Eclair_2.1_HTC_Nike.rar.html

UPDATE #1:

- Data Problem fixed, some disconnects but it can be used without problems (I reccomend to reset the modem when you dont use the connection anymore)

- Added some preinstalled apps:

Astro File Manager

Facebook App

Market

Google Maps

Youtube (Only Audio, Video does not work, i am working on it)

Modem

Advanced Task Manager

RELEASE #1:

- Calls and SMS work

- Data does not work, i am fixing this

####Install Instructions####

- Copy the andboot folder to the root of your SD

- Run Haret

- When haret is running hold the dpad middle button to enter the installation menu

- In the installation menu choose where to install (i use data and system on sd card partitions, its faster)

- Press Install System

- After the system is installed press quit and wait

The first boot is a little bit slow, there is no bootanimation in this built so dont worry if the screen turns black, just wait few minutes, after the first boot i recommend to reboot to speed up things.

Have fun!!!

Do you use the zimage in my package? Try using another zimage, maybe the latest on the vogue project page works.

For the data connection i found that ppp is not invoked because i get an error that says that only root can run /bin/pppd, so maybe the data connection does not work becase pppd is not invoked, i will make some tries to check that.

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] nik2208:

Dont choose to install it on the nand, choose sdcard partition or image files... Android will be installed on the sdcard and winmo remains on the nand.

You did a great job man, got it running on my HTC Nike, and it performs better than other android ports ( looking to speed and connectivity ). The only downsides at the moment, is that i can't activate XT9 dictionary while writing a message, and the camera functionality ( every port had this for as far I know, so can't blaim you ;) ).

So my question to you is, do you know any way to enable (Dutch) XT9 on this rom? I got the device running on Dutch language now, but in the dictionary-settings, there are no known words, whatsoever. Since I don't know if there is any way to browse my storage card ( didn't see any explorer or anything ), i can't install it like a cab or anything.

Would be cool if i could get it running, would make it a wonderfull android port ;)

Hi,

Thanks for this project.

Anyway and unfortunatly i can't get it to boot Android.

What i have done is:

copy folder andboot to the root of SD card, and so i have SDCARD:\andboot\

I have installed normally but when i quit to boot to Android, the process stops with the message of an kernel panic and freezes.

I have read the above posts and so i have overwriten the zimage-eclair with one from the Hero rom, and still didn't work.

How can i fix this?

UPDATE:

OK i have got it to working by installing, reset permitions, cleared cache and boot.

It runs real smoothly but it need's some work to be done.

I have tested some options:

- Calling a person, there is no option for canceling the call and hitting the cancel does not end it, just goes to home screen.

- Music doesn't work "stoped unexpectedly".

Will get more news as soon as i can.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] m0rph3us:
During a call you can press the camera button then a menu appears where you can quit the call... i solved the data problem just last few tests and i will upload it.

Thanks. I will keep testing this one

an 512MB SD is enough?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] masterxiter:
512Mb is not enough. It will create two more files with 256Mb

SO 2x 256 = 512 you will need at least a 1gb sd card.

Hi m0rph3us,

i already tried to fix the Nike Data Problem a few weeks ago but except of ADB, i didn't really find any Tools to follow or 'debug" the processes going on in the system. So my question to you is, what Software Tools did you use to find out that there were permission problems and that DNS does not work ?

Did you just use ADB to read the Logfiles or are there some other useful Tools to get into Developement ?

Greetz, lagloose
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] m0rph3us:
I connect with "adb shell" to the phone, then i used the "logcat" command to see whats going on there, there i found out that pppd is not invoked because of the permissions, once soved that i the connection was on, i saw that a ppp0 device is connected but it was not working, so i tried to type in the browser the ip adress of google or xda-developers, and voila the pages where displayed, so it was a dns problem. The problem was that the net.dns1 and dns2 properties where not set after connection, but i solved it to, now the data connection works but sometimes i goes down after 10 minutes so i have to wait for a reconnect, i am working for a stable connection.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] lagloose:
Hi,

thanks for reply...

That's the same behaviour i already discovered a few weeks ago. Data came up and after 5-10 Minutes it went down and finito...

Maybe it could be a solution to compare permissions, structures and files relevant to Data (i.e. all files in /etc/ppp) to that in a cupcake release, because my Cupcake/Xrom Build works very well....

To another point...

I just had a look into the 'dmesg' file on my SD-Card and discovered this:

I don't know about the other parameters, but at least lcd.density is read out of build.prop since roootfs was dropped.

Something I noticed on boot: /system/init.eclair.rc: 148: invalid command '1'

@ebautista: Strange that your touchscreen doesn't work. I have changed almost nothing compared to the standard kernel, just the vibration. Does it work with other kernels? Does it work with my kernel and another android build?

Nice to see a newer buid with working data. Tried a bit of surfing and downloaded an app (neocore). Everything worked fine, SMS too. Didn' try to make a call yet.

I tried neocore to check if 3d accelleration works, but it seems like it is using software rendering (I have patched the kernel to use DZO's 3d driver for eclair on nike). Unfortunately neocore doesn't use those drivers. I don't know if other apps do. If you want to test it, you can get the kernel with 3d here: https://84.23.71.227/kerneloftheday/zImageE3Dnike

In principle it should work (tried with another eclair build). It supplies 2 new devices (/dev/msm_hw3dc /dev/msm_hw3dm) for 3d acceleration. You have to do a chmod a+rw /dev/msm_3d* before using them. here is some mor info on 3d on eclair: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=625052

Perhaps support for hardware 3d has to be enabled somehere in the android system?

Great job m0rph3us!!!!!

Great job!

had given up hope of having an android in my NIKI100 (20teclas), you really are superheroes

I know that does not work all the functions, but is more stable than any other version, which was abandoned

by people (nemanjalo) who began her door to NIKI100 (20teclas).

I sincerely hope that does not make it too "m0rph3us and team" to help.

otherwise, your version works calls but the person being called does not listen,

I will post the zImage that corrects this, I kept it here.

some suggestions:

I think you should first do the basic work, even before the data because when you start the work

data, many questions will appear on programs that use connection etc ..., and you will lose the focus of the project.

so we can use in everyday life, such as:

1 - calendar "does not work"

2 - the player also does not work.

3 - headphones, essential for anyone who enjoys listening to music, (everybody !!).. rsrsrs

I should have one manager use the memory card when the system is sleeping, do not communicate with the SD card

saving more battery (do not know if I'm right, it's just a suggestion).

m0rph3us and I ask you a favor?

post a data.img or enter the system (I think the best option) the application ANDEXPLORER.APK, for everyone to install and test applications without connection

data.

AND BEAUTIFUL WORK m0rph3us, PEACE AND MUCH SUCCESS TO YOU !!!!!
