Answer

Hi all and thanks for your work.

I wonder if it's possible to close the applications: they remain open in background, I can see them if i hold the power button of the phone.

And, is there a phone keyboard really usable, not like the ported htc IME??

Thanks in advance, these are the last things to make it really usable every-day, all other things are working: Wifi, BT, gps, phone call, music.

Thanks and sorry for my English!!

OK, guys, I still don't get this NoMoRootFS thing! Please explain: does using NoMoRootFS method (SD Card part) REPLACE WinMo on the phone (makes it unaccessible, whatever) OR is it like with the older Android installations - push reset button => go back to WinMo?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] akaFassbier:
It doesn't replace Winmo. reset and u are back to WinMo

Thank you! :) *went trying that new shiny android thing
[Touch Cruise Android Development] chourmovs:

now i flash back to WM6.1 :mad:
[Touch Cruise Android Development] chourmovs:

Ok good news guys

I already wrote about this on Polaris Android Linux Kernel Development.

by replies there's even a chance to get donated Polaris, but considering last two times, and the fact that Polaris is much cheaper now, it shouldn't be a problem to collect money and buy one.

so, the problem is to find a developer that has knowledge and time, and that is willing to help us.

Unfortunately, I don't have time to search through android development threads.

so, please if anybody has time or any idea could you find a willing developer?

Or, could one willing developer just respond to this post?

Thank you!

I would also like to know if this is a known problem or if I am doing somethin wrong.

No matter what I do, I get no USB connection (with or without USB connected) while booting.

Besides that, there are two other things that I still have to figure out:

1. the battery runs empty very fast (maybe a problem with background sync?)

2. when trying to boot android, it always takes 4 or more tries before it actually starts (before that I always get a weird screen and nothing happens.)

I am using Win Mobile 6.1 and running android from SD card 8GB.

Besides that, I really like this alternative OS.

Wifi on Polaris

I just wanted to confirm that wifi works for me on WarmDonut RLS5 using kernel and wififix from:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6086521&postcount=100

However bluetooth does not work for me. But bluetooth never worked for me with any WarmDonut release.

Seems like I also lost the ability to connect the phone to my computer with usb. Which worked perfectly with dzo's zImage-27-04-10.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] DmK75:
Bluetooth

Bluetooth must work with this update.

I turned it on, paired with PC and cellphone and send files. Also i connected handsfree (mono).

One issue found: if i turn bluetooth off, WiFi connection lost and need to turn off/on.

Guess we´ll have to wait long for a nbh update with working wifi

NBH for polaris

Which NBH are you using / is working for the Polaris?

I tried polaimg-panel1-320-08-04-10.nbh but this one don't startup.

polaimg-panel1-320-31-03-10 is working.

What is the difference between the panel numbers (1 / 2 / 3)?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
Those numbers are for the different display makers. Each one has to be treated differently. This question has been answered lots of times. Please, use the search ;)

[Touch Cruise Android Development] nickleby:
Hi people! Let me see if i understood this:

I've a Htc Polaris (Cuise, POLA100) and i want to run Android without damage my phone or the windows mobile.

So, i have downloaded this file: SQSH package (from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=619980) and then put the content into my storage card formated in FAT32 and use the correct "default.txt".

In windows mobile i have to run Haret to start using android. But this method will brick my phone? I mean, can i back to windows mobile just pressing the "reset" button or it will flash my phone into android permanently?

Thanks and sorry! i've managed to run the file "android-1.5-2009-08-08.zip" without no problem, but I doubt about the SQSH method.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] breathtakingevil:
Nope.

This will NOT brick your phone.

The only thing that will brick your phone is if you do a NAND install... did it to my phone lol. There's a way to install windows again through a RAM though..

hum hum impossible to access to gmail account

Hi SuperJMN,

I test my (new...) phone with the Myn's build. Everything is good and I can connect with Wifi to internet BUT impossible to synchronise my data :mad: I tested a lot of time to connect to my gmail adress but the server don't respond !!

I use the original density with 120 and 240*320, with all update for this build.

I don't know what to do : have you an idea ??

Thanks in advance.

Cheers
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
The only thing I can do is to upload a .zip file with the contents of my andboot folder for you to test. It's working really good for me (despite the well-known problems).
[Touch Cruise Android Development] manu33xtro:
Why not : I will test it and hope it works for me too ;)

What's your radio version ?

TH in advance.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] nickleby:
Thanks for the inf! ;)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
Here you are! for you and for anyone willing to test :)

http://www.mediafire.com/?nwhnzntmtjz

1º Run HaRET

2º From the installer, select Install. It will install Myn's RLS 5

3º Choose install update. This will update the required files for a working wifi and BT.

4º Choose to fix permissions.

5º Reset (don't select "Quit", just reset, this is to avoid problems)

6º Wait for Windows Mobile to start and run HaRET again.

Android should start :) The first time it takes a bit longer.

Please, tell me if it works.

My radio version is: 1.59.46.12
[Touch Cruise Android Development] vrflyer:
Pretty much the issue is only being able to run the device 3/4 of the way by using an old NBH & a combination of updates as mentioned (see my SIG). Having said that BT will never work - which I'm OK with, but others are not.

I'm pretty much to the point that I got the testing/tinkering bug out of my system (again) & now I'm ready to part with it. So needles to say it will be up for sale on eBay soon.

:cool:
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
i try to install it to nand but installer said unable to access mtd... :confused:
[Touch Cruise Android Development] manu33xtro:

I don't know why my old version does not work... Perhaps a bad combination of udates :o The mystery of computer...

Well now I can get my contacts and I can use my android phone everyday. I wait for some DZO and Poly updates because I prefer eclair version :)

Thanks again SuperJMN for help me and maybe others...

You won't be able to install to NAND if you are booting from HaRET. I only installed to NAND when I flashed a .NBH :) If you have partitioned your card with 2 ext2 partitions, select Install to partitions. Otherwise, select to install to .img. It should work great :)

I'm really glad to hear that :) My pleasure.

Hi all,

It can be daily used without problem?

Thanks for answers.

[HD2 General] joshuaadude:
Hey guys, I have had my HD2 for about a few months now and I love it. I have been playing around with some apps, tweaks, and mods I found around the forums and I am impressed with the improvements this phone has made. My first HTC phone is the touch diamond and the company has come a long way since.

Anyway, I don't know if other people have found a way around these problems I am having and I haven't found many solutions in the forums either.

First things first, heres my setup:

manilla version 2.5.19211619.0

ROM version 1.48.707.2 (71294) WWE ROM date 11/09/09 (??)

radio 2.05.51.05_2

i also have some programs installed like duttys manager, clean rom etc.

the two major problems i have with the phone is that my phone will freeze and hang every so often and i would have to soft reset the phone. its like sense froze over and i cant operate the phone at all. the only thing that works is the start button. i run cleanrom on a daily basis and i have lots of free memory over.

another problem is sometimes texting takes a while to load up and the screen will not respond to me when i click to type. i have to exit the screen and go back numerous times before i can finally type my sms and send it. this doenst happen to all my texts, only some.

anyway, do you guys have any tips that i may have missed on how to improve the performance and ram distribution for the phone? i would like to stay away from cooking the rom unless there is no other alternative.
[HD2 General] joshuaadude:
bump. to the front page.
[HD2 General] ProjektFuze:
well to be honest.. there are a lot of stickies in the themes and app section that can overall help with the performance aspect of your phone... just throwing it out there before some elitist with a HUGE E-Peen comes around and screams at you for not "searching"

i said it once.. i'll say it again.. the size of your E-Peen does NOT matter in the real world kids...

cheers
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
Aversion to HSPL / new ROM? Lots of pleasant upgrades in 2.10 that make it worthwhile.
[HD2 General] Uvaavu:
Sounds like you need to flash a new set of roms to me.

I'm using Smaburg's newest Touch X-Extreme and the performance/feature increase from stock is excellent.

Lockups/Freezes are definately most easily got rid of by flashing in a new or different ROM, rather than messing about waiting for hot fixes etc.
[HD2 General] webjunky:
Your ROM is old :rolleyes:

you should install 1.66.404.1 or what the latest is in your language CLICK
[HD2 General] iwang:
nothing much with new rom, really

i will try cooked roms..:D :D and see what happened
[HD2 General] joshuaadude:
bah looks like my only option is to do a flashed rom then. alright, i'll check them up and run an update here. thanks guys.
[HD2 General] joshuaadude:
well i hit a snag in the cooking process. i cant install hspl and im stumped on how to get around it. i am running spl-1.42.HSPL XE but when i run the hspl program, i get an error that states "you must have SPL.1.42.0000 installed" and the program terminates.

edit: nevermind apparently my phone is already flashed and i got 2.0x radio. im installing AHEN L6d rom to see if there are any improvements.
[HD2 General] joshuaadude:
ok this whole thing is getting frustrating. i downloaded the ROM and put it on my sd card, but nothing happens when i go into bootloader mode. i stay in the tricolor screen and nothing is being updated. what gives??
[Hero CDMA General] WhiteWidows:
With all the excitement over this device who here is going to jump **** and move to the HTC EVO? I love my little Hero but this phone is awesome! I will probably just give the hero to my lady, but I'm worried development will halt after this is released. This has been a great learning device as we got it rooted to quickly and customization came shortly there after. Id like to here your opinions on the Hero and EVO. Exciting times for Sprint users :)

[Hero CDMA General] askwhy:
If the N1 drops on Sprint before the EVO even has a date and/or price then I will pick it up (the Nexus). If the EVO has a date and price when then happens, well, then it will depend.

I love all the cool phones dropping every 6 months anymore, but wow this is getting expensive!
[Hero CDMA General] bitbang3r:
If it were rooted and had real hardkeys, I'd be at Best Buy at 10am on October 9th to buy one & celebrate my 12-month anniversary. To be honest, I don't really like either the Nexus One or the Evo. The hypothetical phone I really want is an "Incredible" that's rooted and can take a minimally-tweaked N1 ROM almost straight from git and flash without drama. Then I could have my hardkeys, trackball, 850x480 display, enjoy SenseUI for now, but freely ditch it for NexusLand the moment I feel like it's getting in the way and limiting my upgrade options.

4G would be nice, but as it stands I barely have usable data service inside my house (if I disable 'hybrid' and try to force EV-DO, it flat-out doesn't work about 20% of the time, and is unreliable another 20-30%). Assuming WiMax propagation & signals are on par with Sprint's CDMA2000 service, I have every reason to suspect that my neighborhood will be as "urban fringe" for 4G as it is for EV-DO.

(edit)Actually, I take that back. I think part of my problem is the fact that my house shares a Sprint tower with a major regional mall 2 blocks away. Late at night, and in the middle of the afternoon on most weekdays, EV-DO works fairly well. But 4-9pm, and weekends... (((shudder))).
[Hero CDMA General] davidboyd:
I plan to buy the EVO the day it hits the market. My Hero isn't eligible for the upgrade until December, but my wife and daughter are due April 1. I plan to have one of them delay upgrading so I can use their upgrade to get the EVO, then give them my Hero.

This is one nice benefit of having a plan with 5 phones. I usually have a phone ready for upgrade every 4 months or so.
[Hero CDMA General] watzone69:
Not me, I think it sucks.

Ohhh, I almost kept a straight face on that!

I live in Austin, which is crawling with WIMAX. I have been wanting a higher res vid cam. I kept playing with the HD demo here at the GDGT party a week ago (which has a similar sized screen). I've been seriously eyeing the Sprint Overdrive myfi hotspot. HDMI output??? Hello!!

There are just too many things that this phone has that I want. I am not rich but will be getting it even if I have to work nights to save up for it!

[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
the current nexus might have some issues but that doesn't mean the sprint version will. we don't even know if the phone will look the same. remember the gsm hero looks alot different than ours does. i don't see why sprint would release the nexus and the EVO so close together either?

Also, I hate Sense, and I don't want to wait for HTC's tailored updates.

My upgrade is in Oct (I was one of those Best Buy RewardZone people who got their Hero on Oct 9th). If the N1 and EVO are the only android choices at that point will pobably go EVO since HTC does a much better job supporting MS Exchange than stock Android does IMO.

There is one thing I noticed looking at the EVO specs thatay be an issue: I have a free Airave from Sprint since service stinks in my home. I have a feeling that the EVO will not support 1X since its a 4G device and unless Sprint has a 3G Airave at that point and ill work with me to swap my current 1X Airave for one the EVO will be utterly useless for me :(

exactly this, I wasn't' sure on the Hero after watching hundreds of vids until I put my hands on it.

also not sure I like the square appearance...the Hero is nice with the rounded edges.

[Hero CDMA General] dec3ption:
we'll have to see if HTC has actually fixed the dust issue with this bad boy before I drop $600+ on it ;)
[Hero CDMA General] swaze:
Def agree with alot of these sentiments. I want to see it live and up close. But for me the 4G stuff is just a bonus, but not the reason I would upgrade. The HDMI, the ability to tether 8 devices and the fact that its different than the N1 is what would make me get it. There are so many people with the N1 that I want to have something totally different. This phone would hold me down for a while that even if better phones came out, the specs on this thing would still hold its own.

The other thing I noticed lots of people saying is they would get the n1 because of the updates, well thats nice to be first. But if the features on a phone are good enough in the first place, that extra wait doesn't matter to me. Im not the kind of person who is all about getting software first. If the phone passes the eye test, im all in.
[Hero CDMA General] s0v3r1gn:
At first I thought it was going to be a hard decision between the EVO and N1... however after very little consideration, and lots of drooling over specs, I have decided... EVO I choose you!... :D
