Hi Rataplan,

my nike100(WM6.5 21827 ,radio is 1.71,4GB SD), I downloaded the file and found way to do partition for my SD card, but doesn't work:confused:

Could you give a software that can make partitions of SD card like you?

Thanks...:)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
I just download an linux cd in my case ubuntu or sam, I'm not sure, you don't have to install that one on your computer but there is a program in (qparted or something like that) it where you can partitioning your sd card or harddisk.

If I have some time I try to explain it better it is just a while ago when I did this trick.

Greetz,

no one will listen to music on this planet ?????????????, as mentioned above, they lack even the volume of calls, camera, Touchscreen, etc., but at least it works, and the headphones? ?? the topic has turned discussion topics ...... ONCE AGAIN NOT FINISHED THE OPERATION OF THE HARDWARE, step 4 hours walking to work, listen to music every day, is that nobody is able to working headphones ?????
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] lagloose:
Leonardo...

IT IS !! not that easy to get working in call volume and Headphones. If it were that easy, don't you think that we already would have it ? Although all devices like Vogue and Hermes and our Nike have a lot in common concerning the Hardware, they are still not exactly equal and that's the point. It is not a question of programming, it is a qusetion of "exactly knowing" what to do. So if you would find out which interfaces (/dev/...) or Hardware Registers on the Nike have to be handled in which way, than it would be only a question of hours to have all the sound stuff working. But as long as these informations are missing it just a game of "guess and try"...

This really makes me crazy. I tried different setting of lcd.density between 110 and 120 but no luck. There was a statement in the Vogue Thread to set ro.HOME_APP_MEM to 11264. But this didn't help for me.

Any further ideas ?

Hi,

i'd guess we shouldn't let this thread turn to sleep again...

For that reason, for all of you, who don't have it already, find attached a very handy widget, which let's you use your "Android" phone, especially your SD-Card as an USB Drive. No need for special drivers under Windows or Linux. Just install APK on your phone. Place the widget on your screen and touch it. You should get a message that SD Split is now activated. Connect phone with you USB Cable and be happy. If using windows, you can ignore and cancel that windows wants to search and install drivers. Just cancel the window and after a few seconds, you should find your phone as a drive in you devices...

Enjoy, lagloose
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] mblaster:
Finally a working USB Disk app, I have been trying e few other ones, all disfunctional on nike. For me it doesn't even try to install some drivers, it just works like an usb drive does.

There are updates in post 1, myn has released a new version and the update is quite worth it. You can keep your old data file/partition.

@deaddonkey: Either you did not apply the androidupdate.tar attached to post 1 or you use the wrong basefiles. Just read post 1 and perhaps the wiki, which is also linked there.

Hardware keyboard 16 key works on this ROM ?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] mblaster:
Yes, works on all android builds as it is compiled into the kernel. Just edit default.txt and change board-htcnike-keypad.keypadlayout=X to board-htcnike-keypad.keypadlayout=1 for 16 key. If the entry doesn't exitst put it into the commandline at the end of the file.

Question...

anyone with a working location service via provider ?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Maxxd01:
I extracted andboot do root of SD card and created folder ANDBOOT. So I renamed to andboot again (windows 7 strange thing)

I runed hared, and in the next second (during booting linux) I pressed and holder center dpad. The problem is when I do this I only get black screen and nothing more. What am I doing wrong ?

I have 4GB Micro-SD class 6, and erased all files and folders.

EDIT: Problem still exists with a normal and clean 1GB MicroSD...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] mblaster:
1) Go here http://84.23.71.227/kerneloftheday and download the newest kernel for your nike, as you have 16 key version, i guess it is the niki100 so you should download the version without vibration.

2)Edit your default.txt, it has to look like this:

set RAMSIZE 0x07000000
set RAMADDR 0x10000000
set MTYPE 1724
set KERNEL [COLOR="Red"]zImageNike[/COLOR]
set initrd initrd.gz

set cmdline "board-htckaiser.panel_type=1 hw3d.version=0 board-kaiser-battery.battery_capacity=1800 [COLOR="red"]mddi.width=240 mddi.height=320 lcd.density=110 [/COLOR]msm_sdcc.msmsdcc_fmax=32000000 pm.sleep_mode=1 no_console_suspend board-htcnike-keypad.keypadlayout=[COLOR="red"]3[/COLOR]"
boot

The options marked red (carful: to see all you have to scroll right) may need some changes. 'zImageNike' has to be replaced by the filename of the kernel you downloaded, the keypad layout should be 1 for 16 key version. The vrest is ok, if you want to use the 240x320 resolution.

3) download the androidupdate.tar from the first post, you really need it. You can install it directly after installing the system, no need for booting android first and rebooting, so make sure you have it in your andboot folder before running haret

More info can be found on the wiki here, though i forgot to mention the right settings for default.txt there...

I have a big problem.

I used gparted, and formated 2 partitions ext2 256+256 MG + 3,0 GB FAT32 + Linux SWAP 248 MG (we never know :rolleyes:

Problem is: is not readable on my nike. I tried format FAT16 but problem persist. What can I do ?

I simply tried create a fat32 3,0 GB and the rest ext2, both primary partitions, but still not reading on my nike.

EDIT: Tried an even simplier test. With 1GB SD, format everything one fat32 part. Everythings ok on device. Then I go to gparted, reside, and create 256 ext2. Put on device, and now dont say "need to format". Absolutely says nothing and no device on file explorer !!!

EDIT2: If I do 765 MG FAT16 and 256 ext2 on 1GB SD card works, but if I try on 4GB SD: 500MG FAT16 + 500 FAT16 the rest ex2, dont work

By the way it's suppose to copy /andboot to FAT32 right ?

just a note here.. there is no system.img on my sdcard.. can i get that file from somewhere?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Maxxd01:
I suggest SD Installation, its more easy to install updates and I think its newer version (with htc expresso theme (...)

EDIT: Forget to say: system.img is system.sqsh, its on basefiles from the wiki, I think user forgot to zip that file.

----------------------------------

I'm tryng now installation on ext2, sucessfuly done partitions.

But I choose "sys on ext2 system.img" and "data on ext2 data.img", and I'm getting lot of errors during installation. Should I copy manually something to those partitions ? System.img and data.img after soft reset (installation stops), are on fat32 partition. My ext2 partitions have 271 mg each one. What am I doing wrong ?

I tried that, and nothing was installed on those partitions (checked on linux).
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] myn:
FYI I have updated Rogue Tools to ver 1.1. This point update now supports the Nike device :)

This couldn't have happened without mblaster who helped me with this release.

I have created a new separate thread for Nike support over here.

For those already using RLS 5 of Warm Donut, you should see an update available in the Market for it. If you are using an older version of Warm Donut or any other Android rom you can download it by searching for RogueTools.

Cheers!

Hi Maxxd01, I was thinking of writing a tutorial for this until I found this thread I think this answered your question ;)

Greetz,
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] vocione:
Hi, I'm trying to install on ext2 partitions, but I've the same problem explained by Maxxd01. I use ubuntu and partitioned SD card with GParted, 1 FAT32 e 2 ext2 (256MB), but nike request format every time I insert the card.

Also try to flag FAT32 partition with "boot", useless as all other tests (first and second partition ext2 and third fat32, first fat32 and 2 ext2 partition next, format card from nike and then resize partition and create ext2).

I tried the SQSH method, it work, so I think I must rollback to it.

P.S. sorry for my English, I hope you can understand what I wrote.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] mblaster:
I had the same problem, when i was using gparted to partition the sdcard. Try to use fdisk instead. It may also help to format the Fat32 Partition in Windows instead of ubuntu.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Maxxd01:
Yes I know I found one or two :D

I needed so time to make it working but this what I learned:

- FAT32 to partitions > 3GB

- Ext2 partitions > 256 MG. 255MG make fat32 unreadable on nike!!! Use more than 260 MG to both ext2 just to make sure

- no linux swap

- Create Fat32 "to the left" (beginning of the SD - from the 0 sector) then ex2 to the right. dont use any unalocated space

- all primary partitions

If you have 1GB card, I think you have to use FAT16 on 512MB partition, or nike will not read it. Cant explain why.

Hope it helps.

--------------------------

A question to android users/developers, I'm using RL5 two days but I noticed some bugs, I didnt found it reported on wiki.

- My nike heats a lot when using. I didnt overclock it, dont you all feel the same? I'm afraid breaking my nike and/or my battery with RL5..

- Niki 100 16 keys, press 1 key (hardware keyboard), and backlight goes off. Anyone?

By the way, any prevision to vibration or bluetooth ? (last one work in progress but any bell to vibration? )
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] MWG_Thomas:
Could someone please either update the wiki or post here what the advantages and disadvantages of the different install types are? It is quite confusing.

Wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Niki_Android_Install_Howto

Install types listed are:

Classic SQSH method

Install to SD

Install to ext2

Install to NAND (experimental and not fully working yet, WILL KILL YOUR WINDOWS MOBILE)

I think it might make it a bit clearer as to which is best to use :)

Thanks,
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] arleybarros:
yes guys, work fine here, bu it seems that we'll never heave a good kernel support, on vogue bluetooth and camera works, an on niki we can't even install it to nand...

is very fun to play with those builds, but i'm hopeless about the future of android on nike....

hope i'm wrong...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] mblaster:
Tried to mess around with BT in the kernel, but I could not get it to start. The bt part itself seems to wake up (blue led starts to flash), but android cannt connect to the device...

For me it was definitely usable enough, as i normally don't need a cam or bt.

But since 2 days I am a happy owner of a brand new G1 (ok, I know its old...) running eclair like a charm´(although it was harder to get that working than installing android on nike;) )

I think I will still be around in the Nike forums (atm i still have the phone), but I don't think that I will develop a lot. But if you guys have questions feel free to pm me anytime. Kernel service will also continue to run. If something is wrong there please contact me.

I wish you a lot of fun wit your Nikes!

Lasts about 2 days, same as in wm.

Make sure you have set sleepmode=1 set in default.txt

If you have the installed version you need to apply the androidupdate tar from post 1. If you have the sqsh method make sure to use the correct basefiles (not the newest ones). Check the wiki on more info.

Unsolved:

4.) how to increase the size of the symbols (I feel, they are too small).

7.) I was setting up my t-online email account and had no chance to set-up the amount of emails, the size per email, the synchronization intervalls... Where to adjust this?

8.) there is one task manager to kill the not necessary task in the background?

Maybe, somebody can help me with these questions? Thanks.

Alderik

Problem 1 and 3 solved.

1.)

I am having the problem, that after the installation it is asking for the pin-code (I read the postings on page 1 of this thread!) but I was not able to deaktivate it in rataplans F10-3. There, I just can set up another pin that goes active after zero minutes or another timing.

I figured out that this is the SIM-PIN. My card has one, but my wifes doesn't have one.

I was able to boot into the Android OS. I then put my SIM card into the phone of my wife and deactivated the SIM-PIN there. After that, I was able to load on my phone with my SIM Card the Android ROM :-)

2.)

Also, the F10-3 says I am having a NIKI100, but under the battery, there is a sticker saying NIKI200 (it's a German T-Mobile Touch Plus).

As it is important to choose the right Android files, I need to know, which NIKI I am having.

->found in radio that it is NIKI200.

3.) a) how to setup a data connection (the obvious way didn't work). It has the access-point but doesn't find the network provider.

3.) b) I tried to phone out but the phone out was hanging (as if it didn't have a provider). how to check whether I am connected to t-mobile?

to 3) I simply started windows mobile again and then android and the problems mentioned in 3.) where solved.

5.) how to make the 16-keys work? I added:

to the end of the default.txt just having another entry coming after that: reboot or boot.

->the " needs to be in the end of that line, like: set cmdline "..."

6.) a)

running android and soft-resetting it to go back to windows mobile and then going back to android again: I need to run the haret.exe again?

->yes.

6.) b)

I will have lost all configuration from the last run of android (synchronized emails, etc.)?

->yes, but if you install into ext2 System and ext2 (2nd partition) Data, then you will be able to dual-boot.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] alderik:
currently I am working on using the dual boot software.

as I am having problems to get the android folder on my sd- card found (after the installation), I am booting into windows mobile to start the haret.exe.

Unfortunately, holding down the dpad is not stopping the boot process anymore, so I can't install any androidupdate.tar

I think that is a strange behaviour.

someone has an idea to overcome this problem?

Help appreciated.

Alderik
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] 88fingerslukee:
I tried to get this running on a NEON400 with the standard boot options to no avail. Haret just freezes after selecting to run DEFAULT.TXT. I then have to soft-reset to get back to WM.

I have been running Android on my Raph for some time so I'm familiar with booting the OS.

As far as I can tell, the hardware on the phones is very similar except for the radio (NEON400 is CDMA) and the speed of the processor (same CPU but NEON400 is 528mhz to the Nike's 400mhz).

Can anybody think of a reason that this wouldn't be able to boot? I was under the impression that this came from a CDMA device forum (Vogue). Shouldn't CDMA radios be supported? Is there something in the zImage that can be changed to accomodate CDMA devices or are talking about a different reason for not booting?

thanks for all the work.

Sorry, but the Neon400 seems to use a different Processor (Qualcomm MSM7501A, same as on diamond, but less ram) than the other Neons and Nikes (Qualcomm MSM7200). Dont know if this Donut runs on the other Neons, feedback anyone?

Source of information:

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=1422&c=htc_touch_dual_p5310_htc_neon_400

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=1960&view=1&c=htc_touch_dual_850_htc_neon

This means your chances are bad or good, depending on your ability and willingness to write your own kernel...

In principle you should have a quite large base to start from, as you could try to start from the diamond/raph kernel and port all the needes stuff from dzo's kernel over. But this will be a tough task.
