I've just setup a PayPal account - tg01_android@yahoo.co.uk. No bank account or card is connected with this account - so it's strictly for holding payments.

I'll be happy to manage this and, when there is enough, purchase the TG01 and ship it to whoever is appropriate.

Regards,

Alex.

PS. My job is office manager for a small charity in Sheffield - www.gencem.org - I handle PayPal book purchases through the site. My eBay ID is alex.q with over 700 transactions and 100% positive feedback.
[TG01 General] alexq:
.. if everyone is happy with me managing the tg01_android@yahoo.co.uk PayPal account for the purpose of buying a second hand TG01, I'll contribute £15. :)

Regards,

Alex.
[TG01 General] bally3:
Great start Alex, if people want to check Alex's credentials feel free, if anyone has any issues with him holding the payment then they can pm me or come up with an alternative solution. I'm sure Alex will understand if anyone is not comfortable with his holding the payments, I'll leave that decision to you guys as the only input I'll make here is finding the right developer whose is going to speed up work of getting Android on our devices.

I'll put a small disclaimer here just in case I forget:

I, or anyone involved with the device purchase or donation only take responsibility for the tasks which we have agreed upon. Whether a developer delivers what we ask or not is entirely their decision and therefore their responsibility. Therefore, at no point am I or anyone involved with the transaction guaranteeing that Android will be ported to the TG01. We do what we can to get what we want by trying to attract talented developers to the project, whether the project succeeds or not depends on many factors which will be outside of any one individuals control. If you make a donation to the project either for a device or to a developer, please make sure you understand the above and understand also it your responsibility to read and understand it and not the responsibility of anyone involved in the project to bring it to your attention. - Bally3

Feel free to post this on the front page of any donation thread you decide to start :)
[TG01 General] sinjinn:
I got 10 pounds waiting for when there is a consensus on whos collecting.
[TG01 General] alexq:
.. I can easily hand over the tg01_android@yahoo.co.uk PayPal account to someone else if required. My offer of £15 still stands regardless what happens. :)

Shall I put up a donation thread - something like "Android on TG01 - Donations"?

Alex.
[TG01 General] DunkDream:
That would be very nice!

I would also donate some money.
[TG01 General] alexq:

Hi Everyone,

[TG01 General] bally3:
Mods have shut the thread down which is strange, we've done this many times before without issues.. must be a change of policy.

Oh well.. the only thing I can suggest is that we look for another way of getting the device bought. Im going to pm the mod now to ask how we can do this without upsetting any rules. Its seems a little bizarre to me frankly.
[TG01 General] DunkDream:
Okay, so I would also raise 10 Euro for the phone.
[TG01 General] tzaq93:
i would like to help you. is there anything i can do to speed up the process of porting android to tg01?

what is the problem? i thought a Linux-based OS will work by default on anything that has ram, procesor and some storage space..
[TG01 General] daevoq:
hi tzaq93.. the first problem is the kernel, if we can't get the kernel work.. we're stuck.. and we have some problem. Android, that is a linux-based os, it's the second steps.. it runs over the kernel..
[TG01 General] tzaq93:
how can we make the kernel to work? isn't it a good ideea to ask for help from Google/Toshiba??
[TG01 General] sinjinn:
I dont think google will help, nor will toshiba, people have already tried asking.

there is some progress and I think we might have an experienced android developer coming to the project soon, you should check out the 'toshdroid' thread. that is the main thread for android on tg01.

however you should not ask simple questions because it will clutter the thread.

Android and radio

hi all,

if there will be Android available for our TG01, will this have a postive effect on the radio? Or will we still have the radio problems we all more or less suffer from? Will there be new radios ?

just curious,

thx
[TG01 General] samleung515:

This thread seems to be under-used, so can I repeat, please keep discussions about things not working unless you're involved in the development, to here so not to flood the development thread - thanks. :)
[TG01 General] bally3:
And actually while I'm here, it might be not be a bad thing if the non- devs contributed by suggesting here some applications in android that can help like switching off the device at the moment since we don't have power management or a battery saving app maybe?

Every suggestion can help! :)

Not very happy with having to smack my phone down to get the power off option in Froyo. Gonna end up damaging your phone or dislodging something as you have to hit it pretty hard to get it to detect anything. Recommend NOT going with this build unless we are able to get this screen up another way. (It seems pretty good apart from that).
[TG01 General] bally3:
Hold power button for 10 seconds.
[TG01 General] Scougar:
Thank goodness for that lol :-) Rather excessive time to wait however.
[TG01 General] TheRomMistress:
Now that Android has been ported to TG01, has this thread served it's purpose? If so, I am ready to move it to "General"
[TG01 General] bally3:
Hi RomMistress, We try to get non-development related posts and general questions here, although it doesnt work as well as we would like :rolleyes:

So I would say, yes it does need to stay as if its moved to the General thread it probably will get ignored.

Actually I'm in favour of a Android sub-forum now and moving all these android threads there as we will very soon start getting all sort of threads as roms start getting built for it, but of course thats a mod decision to make :)
[TG01 General] sinjinn:
non related topic but is there anyway to get updates on particular threads, such as this one and the other android tg01 one, through twitter or facebook? thanx.
[TG01 General] Scougar:
Not sure if this is any help whatsoever, but one of the apps "Astro", in a build (hypertg01) allows access to the SDCard with the mount commands it does automatically. You guys prob know this already, just in case someone hadn't realised it's easy access...
[TG01 General] lesscro:
Finally tried your Android portage...

1 - lag on Android Boot...

2 - Camera doesn't wotk for me...

3 - Screen is responsive...

4 - Missing battery status... (already saying)

5 - I think, actually you are in FIXED missing part of device...

like Wifi, GSM, GPS & Cie...

6 - Sound need works ? i never hear any sound...

Really like this port... and i never test Android before...

LeSScro
[TG01 General] Scougar:
Sound is enabled by running CLRCAD in the same directory as Haret first :-) That will apparently close the sound connections to WinMo so Android can use them. Read through the thread, a lot of the things you have mentioned have already been discussed :-)
[TG01 General] lesscro:
Sorry...

i would like make a report ... 1st test

then now i will read thread and post only encountered problem...

Cheers...
[TG01 General] bally3:
Hi Lesscro :)

you build roms yes?

we need a tg01 rom built so we can get wifi and bluetooth working.

Let me know if you can do this.

Thanks
[TG01 General] Scougar:
As bally3 says, in the PRJ thread, they really need a ROM chef :-)

The first post in the PRJ thread also details what works so far :-) They have really covered a lot of ground quickly, but could really use some extra experience on the team :-)
[TG01 General] lesscro:
Hello, i m not really build ROM but i m working with different ROM chef to add graphics design...

But if you want i can ask my french Bro' to cook a specific ROM...

I use his latest ROM 28xxx WM6.5.3 Clean... with some intersting optmisation...

Then tell me what do you need... i will talk with my BRo'...

[TG01 General] Scougar:
SD Card fixes? All I can seem to find is that there is an update for initrd.gz to get the disk drive working (I assume that's the sd card?). I can't find what they actually did though :-( (EDIT: "disk drive" might refer to getting windows to see the SD card rather than using it on the phone... not sure.)

For example: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9520186&postcount=2

Also, this has a lot of fixes for HD2: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/android-hd2/132549-android-hd2-tweaks.html

Might not be useful, but just in case...
[TG01 General] EVEALEX62:
Thanks a lot for good comments my friend ;)

I'll test to do anything but I can't promise result :(

Have a good day.
[TG01 General] bojan6:
I tried them they don't work.

We have still to check the code in initrd.

Thanks any way.
[TG01 General] bojan6:
Guys I told will tell you what we need are. Good rootfs and initrd.

Of course we nee a lot of thing but for now I think if we can fix rootfs and initrd. They work together that's way I say the 2 of them.
[TG01 General] Scougar:
As I don't know what the files are or do, I can't say if they are 'good' or not. All I know is that on the HD2 some of the files helped solve camera issues and disk drive issues. The init file I linked to is much smaller than our's that I can see (I'm using the Froyo build), but I can play around with different init's if you like?

Perhaps we should be trying a load of different init's from HD2/desire builds?

BTW, I did try the rel_path supposed fix, but it would 'halt' before booting up properly saying it was unable to mount.
[TG01 General] bally3:
sdcard is now finally working, thanks to Arash18k :)

non-techie method:

For those of you who dont have adb setup:

Download and install the root explorer.apk onto your phone.

open root explorer and navigate to the /system/etc/ folder and open vold.fstab in text editor.

change the existing line:

Close the file. It will backup the vold.fstab file and create a new one.

reboot the device and sdcard should now be available. If it isnt, try deleting the data.img and rebooting.

I havent tested this method myself so I cant vouch it works but it should.

Please keep all questions on this in the discussions thread and not the development thread.

Thanks.
[TG01 General] brainmaster:
There is also another way. Just extract the folder that I've posted in your Android folder. Boot Android and the SD Card will be automatically added.
[TG01 General] bally3:
Nice one brainmaster :)

This is how to get Markinus kernel and keep it updated.

To checkout the branch for Markinus repo:

git clone git://gitorious.org/linux-on-wince-htc/linux_on_wince_htc.git

It will checkout the master.

then you need to change to tg01 branch:

git checkout linux-on-tg01

To update to any new changes (commits):

go the the kernel directory and type:

git pull

[TG01 General] Scougar:
SD Card fix confirmed working on my phone.

Just a note: Windows mobile somwtimes wont give you the 'locked' screen optio which seems to stop Android booting properly causing haret to reset to winmo. Just lock the screen then unlock if this happens to you.

BTW, the Smack Phone horizontally to get power off and flight mode option seems to have gone?

[TG01 General] wildcardspv:
I also confirm SD card now works after using the folder that Brainmaster posted, but it now always takes 2 attempts to start Android as the 1st attempt reboots to windows, but the 2nd works. In my case, locking/unlocking the screen doesn't help.

I also don't have the slap to power off option anymore.

Can somebody upload the last and best Androidimage with all things I need to boot Android from Toshi? (with working buttons, touchbuttons, speaker & vibration and SD-Card please :) )

Thanks in advance. :cool:
[TG01 General] bally3:
Doesn't happen to me no, try pushing the vold.fstab through adb or try the solution posted by me in discussions thread, but first try deleting the data.img and rebooting. :)
[TG01 General] lesscro:
really much better with SDcard support...

but now i need install some new apps...

like a real explorer and music player...

Have a seen Gallery, make long times to load pictures...

and if you close then go back you need reload again... maybe i don't know how works android but i need a real colse apps button... for sure... like a Win Mo...

[TG01 General] bally3:
Guys, now that sdcard is working, try out some other builds like MDeejays Froyo build and see whether they now work, previously they were getting stuck at the boot screen, maybe it was sdcard related?

[TG01 General] bally3:
MDJ Froyo creates a 1Gb data.img so make sure you have enough space on the card and wait for at least 15-20 at the logo before giving up.

Doesnt work for everyone and expect it to be slower than the froyo we currently use as it has sense gui and stuff.

New build sound, button fix, sd card fix. All in one

Posted a new build That includes button fix sound and sdcard fix.

Enjoy.;)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YCQBS639

Just copy to sd card and run clrcad then haret. Wait for it to build new DataStore.

When you see HTC logo wait about 20 min before rebooting the phone with power button. The first couple of times you load it, it may be a little slow. But after letting it boot a couple of times it starts to run very nice. :D

Like I said this is the completed build so far, This build That includes button fix sound and sdcard fix.
[TG01 General] tamago_quin:
I never had to reboot the phone at all. it "just worked"
[TG01 General] lesa0208:
I flash this last night,and everything worked great fast and smooth, but I tried this morning to boot in android and can not boot, I tried soft reset and thet boot again, starts to load, and then the screen starts flashing. Shall I need to do a hard reset and then try again:confused:
[TG01 General] malt_vinegar:
Should I be able to connect to the phone network when booting my old TG01 from this?

I put a build on, and it boots, but then seems to not access any wireless networks, or the provider network.

Is this as far as the new builds get, or am I screwing something up?
[TG01 General] Scougar:
If the screen starts flashing... just wait as mentioned (although I'd be tempted to reset), ONLY because it might be trying to build something in the background. If you have already built it, then the flashing screen prob means you just need to try again or you have the wrong setting somewhere? I sometimes need a few reboots just to get into Android.

No. There is no wifi or network/carrier availability yet. Patience, the team has only been doing this for a very short time! :-)

Again, please ask this in the Discussions thread. This is a kernel development thread.

Did you use all the files except default.txt and and the kernel zImage?

Also can you state your card make and size please so others can get it running same as you?

Thanks.
[TG01 General] arnookie:
No just run clrcad before running haret you have to do that each time.:D
[TG01 General] tamago_quin:
I just copied all the files that arnookie supplied and followed his instructions. Honestly, I don't know what default.txt and and the kernel zImage do. My card is a Toshiba 8GB C4 card that was supplied with the phone.

this one according to C08G:

http://www.pc2buy.com/33582/toshiba-8gb-microsd-tf-card.html

This was a spur of the moment decision and I haven't tinkered around with anything. I have booted into android about 4 times now and each time I have had no problems.

it stays on the HTC logo for about 20 seconds then to the animated "x" for about 2min
[TG01 General] arnookie:
The build I posted includes zimage and default text already so no need to change or add anything to my build. It has evrything so far. Just wanted to clear that up. :)

Just hold the power button for 20 seconds It should restart.

Then before you run haret run clrcad first.

If that don't help try deleting data.img first then follow the steps above.

Let it install for about 20mins after seeing htc logo. Then reset phone.

You should then be able to boot android.;)

[TG01 General] bojan6:
You can't install Android. It can be just until you restart the phone then he go back to windows.

And for now Android isn't working fully is just a testing procedures. You have to wait for full working android.
[TG01 General] bojan6:
Please read this before start asking questions

1.Android is in testing development.

2.Is not working fully.

3.You can't install Android in your phone.

4.You can run Android in your phone with Haret and see how it look but:

5.There are no working wifi, bluetooth,phone calls, battery, usb conection, ac charger connection and many other things....

6.All drivers and kernel are still under construction.

7.Now you know that Android is not working fully in our phone.

8.If you still want help and test build that is OK.

Now to run Android properly in your phone !

1.Download any of the builds we have around here.

2.Do backup on your sdcard or if you have additional one use this one.

3.Extract the file with android in your sdcard.

4. Check all the files are inside (sdcard/Android/AndroidApps"folder", media"folder",root"folder",clrcad"file",rootfs"file",startup"file",system"file",zImage"file",initrd"file")

5. If you want you can take everything from Android folder and pest it in root of the sdcard but you have to change default text (set cmdline"rel_path=Android change to set cmdline"rel_path=" or set cmdline"rel_path=sdcard") tri with one if is not working try with the other one. I thing the best is leave all files and folder in default Android folder and just copy this folder to your sdcard.

6.Check your zImage and Startup is for Toshidroid :OP (TG01).

7.First RUN haret without CLRCAD.

8.It take no more than10 min to run for the first time.

9. If it take more time RESTART the phone by pressing the POWER BUTTON for 10/20 sec it will restart and back to windows.

11.Try to do the same one more time.

12.If it still not booting to Android and you receive any error messages. Check your sdcard if there is space left in it. Check error message if it say that it can find some file or it can't create a data.

13. Delete everything from your sdcard and format it to fat32.

14.Start from the beginning.

15. If it still not booting to Android then check if you have all files and all set how it has to be.

16. Don't forget you can broke your phone. And we are not responsible for any damage you cause to your phone.

17.It is all up to you.

19. If I forget something sorry about just ask there are other memebers who will try to help you if they can.

20. Sorry for my English mistakes. I'm trying to fix them. :OP

Thanks to all people who try their best to make that possible: Markinus, Arash18k,Bally3,Endrix,Nyl,Arnookie and all other.

;)

Very important

Hi bojan6,

great thread, very important.

Maybe your explanation should be copied to all Toshdroid-related threads, so maybe we can get rid of all the unnecessary questions about "phone dont work" or "how to install". just to keep the developement threads cleaner.

thx again
