In the interest of sparking more interest in the project now that we're seeing signs of someone actively working on it, can anyone post up the files or links to all the files currently available for the TG01 Android project please?

It may also help if a Google repository or similar was set up with links to these on the front page if at all possible to enable any curious devs to have a go if they wish.

At this moment in time, it would be more helpful if users came up with similar ways of encouraging and actively participating in the project as opposed to posting enquiries on the progress which will only serve to frustrate active or interested developers.
[TG01 General] roykaandorp:
I was trying some things today, when i use the kernel image of the s200 and the other files from the hd2 it booted up till i saw the linux logo. only changed the memmory adresses for the tg01 in the default.txt....... i think it won't take long before they make it work......:D

sorry for my bad english
[TG01 General] iceeyes91:
Great News :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[TG01 General] samleung515:
i also used the kernel image of the s200 ,the tg01 default.txt before , i saw the linix logo but all the works were green. i don't know what is the problem but i hope it can help you.

i hope android can port in my tg01 as soon as possible ^^

sorry for my poor english :p
[TG01 General] daevoq:
can someone tell me where i can find the tools that i need to boot android on tg01? i want to try that.. maybe i can help someone to do his job.. I would like

approach to this world... for what i understand we are close enough to make android working on tg01..

i'm so sorry for my english.. :)
[TG01 General] bally3:
Appreciate all the enthusiasm but you wont get any answers from using kernels (zimage) from other phones this way.

endrix is working on making a compatible kernel for the tg01, so unless you have a linux box and can download the kernel source and compile it, you wont get anywhere.

Im looking at getting a kernel set up going on my ubuntu netbook, but its been a while and I am time-limited being a family man, but if anyone wants to have a go, there are plenty of howto guides out there to building kernels from source. I'll see if I can dig up a few links.

If you do want to get involved. setting up a linux environment like Ubuntu and learning how to compile kernels from source would be the best way to start.. then at least you can report back what errors you are getting in haret and get some feedback off the devs.

If you want to see progress, this is the only way to do it or else get a donation going to get enough money and get more devs on board. From experience, having just one dev unselfishly giving their time to developing without any help or reward will eventually mean the project may find itself abandoned when its so close to being a working product.

Good luck!

thank you so much for your help! i'll do some experiments tomorrow.. I greatly appreciate the work of developers.. and certainly I will make a donation.. is right to support those who work so hard... :)

Ehmm.. Another question.. There are risks in testing Haret like full brick or other?

As far as i know haret not flash the ROM... it's right?..

What are the precautions to be taken?

Once again sorry for my english ^_^
[TG01 General] Scougar:
Thanks for the links Bally3 :-)

I have offered my time to Nokser and said it in the thread about helping, but received no responses. I'm a software dev, but not Linux experienced, but still willing to try and help. Wife goes away for 3 weeks soon so might try and get a Linux installation on the go :-)

Lastly, if someone would actually declare they are working on it, I'd gladly donate something :)
[TG01 General] bally3:
As you are just running a program from your sd card which is effectively only loading into memory (RAM), it is relatively safe. AS with any development, hammering your phone with demanding processes it wasnt sold for increases the chances for things to go wrong. But that is a unspoken and unwritten understanding for anyone who runs any software or operating system thats been developed on xda developers.
[TG01 General] bally3:
Just get yourself a ubuntu set up with the Android SDK, Java and Eclipse then download the kernel source from the link on posts above - you'll have everything you need to get going in the game once you've successfully compiled a kernel and are able to run it.

There are lots of good tutorials and help suggestion on the internet for most of the problems you will face setting up and compiling a kernel, but once this is done and you are able to get the error messages for where it is getting stuck before it gets to the desktop, it should speed things up nicely as you start posting your results.

The more users who are ready with this setup to test, report and print dump their findings on here, the more speedier the progress you will see, and hopefully if endrix is on xda and is reading any of this he may wish to respond regarding donations if he wishes to.
[TG01 General] bally3:
I have joined github and messaged endrix to point him to this forum and thread. Hopefully we may get some response so that we can help co-ordinate our efforts :)
[TG01 General] bally3:
Have had a reply back from endrix, he says he has only just started the project and is learning a lot about linux etc but he will be to quote:

Sounds very promising, and I hope this is a sign of new lease of life to the project!

In the meantime, as I said earlier.. if we can get more users tooled up with kernel compiling linux setups then we really could start seeing some momentum like we have seen with the hd2. Not to mention, theres quite a bit that we can take from those devices which already share our hardware base.

Its down to everyone else now to gear up and show some willing to really prove that their is a large enough interest for this happen for it to be worthwhile.

Personally I do not accept or like posts with users saying they wish they could do more but dont have the skills. I came on this scene with nothing more than project management skills and if I can do it, anyone can. :)
[TG01 General] daevoq:
i'm a software dev too, but i have no experience with linux and handheld devices.. but don't hurt to try..

maybe i can accelerate dev time posting some result :) I think any help is appreciated... :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] kevlar334:
Anyone know if you can put the motherboard and guts of a hero in a G1 housing giving you the ability to use the physical keyboard of the g1 with the better memory ect of the hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] xsirhc6x:
it would get messy, the screens are a different size, ahah and if you kept the g1's screen it would take alot of programming i think to get it to work

i wouldnt say its impossible, but arnt there ways of using bluetooth keyboards?

id suggest figuring that out!
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] cauli:
Bluetooth keyboards are certainly an option. There are two commercial apps in the market which support them. One for SPP & one for HID (the two BT profiles, serial port profile & human interface device, which BT keyboards can use), so most keyboards should work with one or the other. As it happens, I'm waiting for delivery of a Freedom Pro, from Handtec, atm.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] sambartle:
It's probably not actually impossible, but if you had to ask then it's not something you could do.

I'd say it's practically impossible in that no one would ever do it.

OT: The poster above mentioned 2 apps for using a BT keyboard.. what are they and do either support the original old freedom BT kb?
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] rayjt9:
It's possible, but as far as I'm aware you'd need to write new drivers for communicating with the physical keyboard, and the older screen/buttons, etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] cauli:
BlueInput & KeyPro. Can't get either to work with the Freedom Pro on a 1.5 gsm Hero (they support many phones running 1.5). Hero seems to be lacking something under 1.5 that most other devices have.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] aakdee:
Hello mates,

My i-mate Jasjar doesn't start any longer. Here's how I got here. I tried to flash my jasjar with Crossbow ROM using ROMUpgradeUt.exe but it didn't do anything. So I went into the Country_ID_Error folder on the computer and executed MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe. My jasjar froze after this and everytime I restarted it just hung on the bootscreen that says i-mate.

So I tried using mamaich method using mtty and now I can't even get to the i-mate bootscreen. So nothing just happens when I try to power up the phone (I'm sure the battery isn't dead).

All I can do is just enter the bootloader mode. That is the only thing that I can do that I know.

Please suggest something. I'm lifeless without the i-mate.

Thanks and regards,

Aditya More.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cheapusenet:
i had this same issue, i task28?'d my device, whatever command that resets the flash structure, then booted into bootloader, and flashed this file:

http://rs507.rapidshare.com/files/184081773/JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301.zip

that should fix you up real good, hopefully.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] aakdee:
Well thanks a lot. But it doesn't help. It gives me a connection error when everything is fine. USB is connected, ActiveSync USB connection is disallowed.

I forgot to mention, that when I task 28'd my device, nothing showed on the device. It just showed USB at the top and v2.01 at the bottom for ever, which means the task 28 wasn't probably successful or I ain't sure what.

Yeah, I had to ask you how if the above given file will work if the phone is in bootloader mode.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] aakdee:
To fill you on more details, my phone somehow strangely starts. I'll explain how.

When the phone is switched off, and when I press the reset button, nothing actually happens, no activities can be observed.

When the phone is switched off and I connect it to the computer via USB, it shows the charging light. Now when I press the reset button with the phone connected to the USB, the charging light goes off and the USB detection sound sounds on the computer and the computer shows "USB Device not recognized". This means the phone started.

But strangely in both the above cases, none of the two lights on the phone indicate anything and display of the phone shows absolutely nothing.

The only thing I can do with the phone now is enter bootloader.

Also, since I compromised so much, is it possible that I can still flash it with WM6? Because going back to WM5 will make me feel miserable.

Thanks.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] aakdee:
@cheapusenet:

I tried flashing with that file. It flashed successfully, but the screen is all smudged. I soft reseted the phone too (using reset+two soft keys) but it keeps displaying that same smudged screen.

Good news is it did something.

Bad new is that it didn't make the mate work.

Please help. I'm dying without the phone.

Thanks and best regards,

Aditya More.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cheapusenet:
is it possible you can get a picture of what screen its showing? I THINK it happened on mine as well, did you let it sit for 10 or so minutes? if i recall the bootscreen was all corrupted but it started into WM5 just fine.

and regarding wm6, i'd attempt to get the device working before you try and get fancy. is the device cid unlocked? mine was and thats what was causing the issues.

if you didnt run that exact command, it's probably a good idea.

and you could try reflashing that stock imate rom?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] aakdee:
This is all that happens.. I have waited for 5 minutes. I'll wait for 20 minutes now.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] aakdee:
i waited for 30 minutes.. no go..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cheapusenet:
yap it did that EXACT same thing to mine.

reflash it, i think that fixed mine.

if that doesnt work, attempt flashing some custom roms.

is it CID unlocked?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] aakdee:
i flashed it twice.. no go..

what's CID unlocked?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] orb3000:
CID

Read the Wiki on my sig link
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cheapusenet:
cid unlock allows flashing of roms that don't match your device branding.

i don't remember what brought me back from that, i may have flashed a custom rom with the imate cid settings in it? i don't remember.

i'll post a rom that i think may have helped in a few hours, I have slow upload speed. until then, just keep tinkering.

also, you should only be flashing nk.nbf. not the ms, or radio nbfs.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cheapusenet:
http://milfweed.info/UNI_AKU3_2_WWE_IVAN_beta_4_extrom_public.rar

try that rom.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] aakdee:
hey man.. Flashed the rom with Ranju's ROM of WM6.1.. it worked.. But I can get the phone to be turned on. i mean device turns on but I can't make or receive calls or text. Let me check the thread of that rom. Thanks a ton for your support. Really appreciate it.
[HD2 General] Richard_Bushby:
Sorry if this has been posted before, I've serached to no avail. I'm trying to better understand the whole ROM/RAM thing, and have a few questions that will clarify whats going on :confused:

a) Without having an SD card, if I copy a file to, say, the "My Documents" folder on the phone, does this get stored on the ROM, or the RAM?

b) I've recently done a hard-reset to restore back to factory settings, but afterwards found some folders on the phone that aren't "factory" (Swype for instance). I thought a hard-reset wiped out all data and replaced it, no?

c) If I were to somehow completely wipe the storage area of my phone (Program files / Windows / ConnMgr folders for instance), would a hard-reset be enough to restore functionality? If so, where would the system files come from?

d) Is the 448Mb RAM used solely for CPU execution, and is wiped by soft-reset or removing the battery?

Sorry if these questions are real basic, but necessary in order to further understand whats going on :)
[HD2 General] ephestione:
a) ram on the HD2 is just like the ram of your home computer... it's not for storage, but for program runtime memory

b) may be weird, unless you had a swype folder that came with your stock rom in the first place and you didn't know :p anyway the plain hard reset doesn't properly format your internal storage memory, that's why tools like task29 exist; it may be possible that folder "survived" the hard reset, even if I find it strange

c) those files would come from the "ROM" after a hard reset :p the internal storage memory is 512MB, there are "partitions" in it, for radio, rom image, and user files, when you delete system files on your device you are not really deleting the files from the rom image, so they will just be restored after hard reset. Someone please correct me if I'm writing wrong pieces of information :p

d)yes, again it's just like your pc's ram. Back in the times, old pda's had a pool of "ram" that was used practically for everything, and was in fact shared between program runtime excecution,and files storage, while their "rom" wasn't user writeable, and reserved for just the OS image (thinking about my very first WinCE device now, casio cassiopeia, quite some years have passed!), so if you removed the battery and your backup battery ran out, you would lose your files. HD2 instead has his persistent memory chip, the 512MB/1024MB rom chip, so you won't lose any data without power, but surely your ram chips will.
[HD2 General] Richard_Bushby:
Thanks for your reply! Just to make sure I've got this right:

The HD2 has:

448MB RAM - volatile / battery dependant memory that is used for program

execution just like in a PC

512MB "storage memory" - non-volatile memory where the windows system

files, program files, music files and "my documents" are stored. Kind of like

the HDD in a PC

512MB ROM - stores the operating system and factory files that are copied

to the "storage memory" in the event of a hard reset. These files can only

be changed by flashing a new ROM image.

A Hard Reset wont format the "storage memory", it will just replace certain

files and folders from the ROM image.

A smaller, or lite ROM image will result in more "storage memory" after a

hard reset

Have I got this basically correct?

If so, one last quick question:

Task29 formats the "storage memory" correct? So I should be able to Task

29 and then a hard reset will get things back up and running without

having to do any flashing of the ROM?

Many thanks in advance :D
[HD2 General] Richard_Bushby:
Can anyone confirm the above post? :o
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
The ROM is the storage memory. There is only RAM and ROM... that is it. The ROM is partitioned into sections for radio, OS image, etc. Running Task29 will format the ROM, but will erase the OS image, so you will need to flash a rom after doing task29.
[HD2 General] lemonspeakers:
Usually this is what I do. Run Task29. Then after it shows 100%, I hold the VOL DOWN button. Flash the ROM (I flash custom ROMS, you can flash Stock ROMS if you like) with the CPU +USB. After the ROM finishes and shows 100%, hold VOL UP+DOWN to do a hard reset.

Let the first round of ROM fully setup. Then do another hard reset after that. This fully wipes everything off for me and return me to a clean slate that is MUCH more cleaner than ever before.

This is the equivalent of a secure erase on an SSD using the Secure Erase from UCSD's magnetic research facility. It wipes out everything so clean, the police wont be able to trace it if they tried.
[HD2 General] Richard_Bushby:
So from what you're saying... if I copy a file into the My Documents folder, this effectively gets stored on ROM, right?
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
Correct. All your internal storage is on the rom.
[HD2 General] did91505:
Hey guys im a new member im always finding out more and more about this phone, but something wierd on my phone.

I can dial numbers out, but when im on a call and I need to use the keypad, like touchtone example, I dial 611.. tmobile says for this press.. X ----

I cant no keypad pops up I cant even use the hangup button on the screen i have to use the hangup button on the side, anyway of fixing this?

Is there a file that got deleted or a registry?

I got:

BSB tweaks

CleanRAM

PHM Registry Editor

WVDResco Photo Manager pro.

The Rest are TMOBILE US WWE APPS INCLUDED.
[HD2 General] imtimduh:
i have the same problem... :[ trying to figure it out now..
[HD2 General] atlaswing:
did you change this bsbtweak setting?

HKLM/System/GWE/Touch/Filter/MinimumTapTime

should be 0

Do Not follow the recommendation to change the TapTime from 0 to 30.

Leave it at 0.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
as the post above this, except @OP you probably set the 'increase tap time' tweak on in bsbtweaks, which messes with the reg entry noted above, so turn it off.
[HD2 General] johnboatcat:
Post above solved my problem with dialer keypad.

So has anyone tried other settings to increase tap time. Without it I have a tough time with false taps on some screens. Especially the call history on the dialer screen, and the screen to choose the apps for quick links in Cookies Home Tab 7.1. I can just about blow on the screen and get taps. Only two screens that my piece of junk DAGI stylus works on though.

Is this a problem with tap sensitivity set in these apps that makes them react differently than other screens? Fix, work around"?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cyberon:
To all the Devs. :D

Hi there, as you all might know the 2.1 Roms have the Greenish Camera issue!

1.5 Roms

2.1 Roms

I am loving the work you guys are doing so much, that my Hero changes Rom every week, but this issue remains unsolved for a long time!

Try fixing this please, i know "friendstream" is important but the "camera" is way more!

Thanks in advance! ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] johndani:
I agree! I love all the ROMs out there, and this is my only major problem! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whepper:
I think the auto white balance is not working. It's even worse... the pictures are saved in 5 megapixel, but are only 2 or 3. If you zoom in to 100% (1:1) you'll see squares. You can see it a littlebit in your greenish example (compare it to the 1.5 one and you'll see what I mean).

That's why I'm on 1.5 (Kimera 1.6) and keep it that way until HTC releases the 2.1 kernel for the Hero. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] VenomGBR:
@Whepper - What are the downsides to using 1.5? I was thinking of switching to Kimera 1.6 but im afraid of losing some things like 2.1 Apps.

(Im not sure which apps require 2.1 though).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] touchtweak:
This is very frustrating for me as well: greeny/bluey rubbish.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rayjt9:
Yeah, it's a little surprising, but no one seems to have a definite fix for it. There used to be a purported fix over at the villainrom forum which some people had success with, but it didn't do anything for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
That's my experience as well. Could someone who has the issue try changing the White balance to Incandescent or Fluorescent? At least when I change to Daylight or Cloudy I get the greenish tint as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rayjt9:
That's right, Homer. Auto is green 9 times out of 10 for me, but daylight/cloudy are -always- green tinted, and incandescent and fluorescent... aren't great but at least they're not green.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] El Salvador:
Jup same counts for me. As well as the little squares which actually bothers me the most
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bhellim:
I have that problem will all 2.1 roms,JUst hope devs can find a way to fix this problem. Camera is useless with to much green color in it. YOurs much better my picture turns out really green much like hulk.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] plnghiepla:
I have the same problem when I up to 2.1 Rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j0bro:
Can it be that the optical hardware used in the Legend, Desire, etc. is just different from the Hero's?

HTC might have put another color profile in those 2.1 ROMs when they were calibrating the hardware to 18% gray. Such a color profile is used for auto white balancing in digital photography, as hardware/software cannot interpret color "correctness" (what is white?).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cyberon:
Please correct me if i`m wrong, but Sprint Hero uses the same hardware as GSM Hero right? :confused:

This issue also happens on VillainROM 5 Series (Sprint Port). :mad:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] prinzipal:
i had the same problem with villain 5.3, but after installing the fix the greenish tint is gone.:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Vorbeth:
Never mind, I found it.

Going back to Modaco 3.2 untill a fix is available.
