You can get latest radio here:

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

I'm using 1.71.09.01 and never had any sound problems..

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

tyler51773, sorry I went back and seen you've already stated you're using radio 1.71.09.01..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] anagarika:
The Radio I had was for a long time as per my signature. It did work well (older build), with sound, call, sms, wifi and GPS. Only battery sucks :)

One question, does the calendar require Google acct for every time running or only first time? It was the only thing turning me off from using it further. I want my calendar, private and OFFLINE :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tyler51773:
Radio Versions

I've tried the last three radios. I have been running the latest radio ever since it came out. So my first attempt was with the latest radio..

this is not a mistake. unzip the tgz file to find the tar file. i think you are using polymod g. inside tgz is also androidupdate.tar

edit: both tgz and tar work. I still always pull out the tar
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] blindguyinanorgy:
did you make sure to update your zImage file before installing the new polymod? it is a must for the current round of devs

you can get the latest here

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] thebulletfromhell:
TGZ Is Tar. Tar is to make it into one file and gzip compress it. tar + gzip=tgz or tar.gz. 7zip tar doesn't compress, only store. The installer search for both androidinstall.tar and tgz
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] anagarika:
Thank you. I don't remember which zimage I was using, but IIRC, I did grab the latest as of that post from polymod. However, as tested by me and tyler, Booting Android over SD (not NAND) is no longer working for newer version. Can you confirm otherwise? I have no interest in flashing NAND for my Kaiser.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tyler51773:
My Droid status.

I stopped when sound became hopeless..

I can boot android but I can't get any sound. I tried a few different kernel's w/ the latest radio and a few different radios w/ the latest kernel from kaffee. I also tried using a known working build by someone in a similar thread -- and that didn't work either. By not working I mean it installed and booted but I had no sound. Thread was here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=683644

I think whatever the issue is its likely discrete (I didn't stick my left foot out and scream hokey pokey when I needed to and noone would think of me telling me to do that cause everyone does that, whoever wouldn't do that is a n00b-dumbfuck[sic]. It doesn't make sense why someone would get sound and I wouldn't if I use their files, unless the hw is different or my phone is damaged, but in the other thread where this took place I think they followed up my work to get no sound too . (Just another one having sound issues here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=696223 )

The biggest thing that I found was to use the latest kernel for the install that will let you use your dpad. Don't use dpad center to start the installer use volume up (which is a misnomer if you're thinking along the lines of windows mobile), its the key right of the dpad center and up, i guess it would be the right option key. I forget.

I don't recall trying the files found in: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=634782&page=6 you should give that go as someone is talking about ringtones, also see what your model of kaiser is under your battery. i don't have my phone on me, I noticed the guy in the thread is using a kais130.

Anyhow from what I gathered was that if you install nand you get sound if you don't install nand -- you don't. It doesn't make much sense to me. The only thing I can think of is something isn't mounted correctly .... I just put down the droid crack for a while as I have to study :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] anagarika:
@tyler,

I'm on KAIS130. Bought it last year Q1, so it must be one of the last Kaiser on shop counter ..

When I did Poly before (as posted), all basic functionality was working quite ok, sound (ringing, talking over phone), SMS notification. I only hated that calendar can only run when I connect to Google. Someone at other forum mentioned fliq, but I can't find the file anywhere, and not wanting to go on the androit market.

Now, I can't get the latest build (Poly) on SD working properly, even with the right soft key trick :(

Giving up also for the time being.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tyler51773:
anagarika

You may want to try replacing the kernel with the one in kaffe's thread the one titled gps fix, its also attached towards the top of this one.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] anagarika:
Tyler, thanks!

Saw your post on that gps fix thingy. Will try and revert back.

Edited

No good. Nothing works with SD anymore (2.1g) I was also trying the other button (right soft key) as well. :(

Edit 2

Philux ran this and he claimed it works with HARET. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=700669
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] anagarika:
@Tyler,

I tested Vanilj & it works, sort of. I could get the installer menu, no more system image error. Booted fine, but can't dial properly (hung there) & when I tried hanging up, it just stuck.

Then I use the same set of Haret, zimage, etc., but replace the androidinstall from polymod 2.1g. It works!

Sound: there, no issue.

Perhaps your device simply behaves differently like someone poste on af974 ROM thread.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tom13mcpherson:
thank you thank you thank you

I was pulling my hair out!

:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] thakvs:
This is how it worked for me.

I downloaded basefiles-20091116.zip on:

i cant post the link because im new but it is the same link from post 1

problem !

the haret files in his folder are outdated!

you also need to download haretinstall.zip (added 02/20/10) on the same site.

copy the files from haretinstall.zip over the haret files in the basefile-20091116.zip

now copy the android file from haretfiles (with all the files in it) to the root of your sd drive.

change the name android to andboot.

(change the txt files like mentioned in the first post)

now you have to ad the android version, I used the new 2.2 “Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo RLS14 All Languages”

also place this file in the andboot folder

go to your microsdcard and open haret.exe (in andboot folder), hit run and wait.

now you will see all the linux stuff and when it asks u to push the dpad pus it long and do it fast (if you wait to long you will get an image error)

now follow the install instructions

and wait

(android should be installed and you go back to the install menu

press exit

and android should boot ( I wasn’t sure because the screen wasn’t moving so i did a reset, when I restarted en went back to the haret.exe, I saw the linux stuff but this time it went back to the screen I saw after install but after a while I saw the android logo)

TADA! (how do you like them apples????)

man it was hard to find out how it worked because this is all Chinese for “noobs”

I don’t like the way this forum works, you can only find old manuals and new files and if you ask something people just repeat the same thing without pointing out the right files!

and you must be retarded to read all the crap on the forum before asking something 90% of what is posted is stuff that isn’t related to the original topic!

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] francois64:
Hi you all.

Because i have two Diamond2 ( one is mine and the other one is from my company ) and because i want to synchronise on several PCs with windows7 ( at work X2, at home X2 ), i'd like to know (if it is possible ) how to set up synchronisation ?

At the moment, i copy contacts from folder to sub folders, before each time i connect the phone; and i have no solution for calendar.

Can you please help me to find a solution ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] francois64:
No answer ?

Am i the onlyone who wants to synchronize several PCs ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] BeeGee_Tokyo:
I had a quite similar problem, 2 Diamond 2, 2 PCs (work and private). But I work on XP, not with Windows7.

I connected first the work PDA with work PC, sync'd them. So I have all contacts and calendar on the PDA.

Then cleaned up Outlook on my home PC (delete all contacts and all calendar entries), connected work PDA with home PC, and sync'd again. Now I have all contacts and calendar on my home PC.

Next step is to sync private PDA with work PC and then with home PC, then I have all contacts and calendar on my private PDA.

Problem is, from time to time (I do not know why) ActiveSync is messing up and creating double contacts and calendar entries. And up to now I didn't find a solution to avoid this.

So I ended up with a more difficult solution. I do not need to sync calendar and contacts every day on my private PDA, so I use from time to time PPCPimBackup to backup on my work PDA, then copy the file to my private PDA and restore there.

Hope this helps you.

You can try sync all phones via bluetooth and hope that Sync Center will pick up all phones.

[General Questions and Answers] b_w_johan:
Good afternoon, this is my first post here, so i'll introduce myself a little.

I'm Johan, I live in The Netherlands, and i have a "MDA II, a T-Mobile branded HTC Himalaya" and a "MDA Compact, a T-Mobile branded HTC Magician".

I'm doing a study informatica, and i'm planning to choose as minor for software engineer or game development.

Currently for a schoolproject we have to write an application for an android mobile phone. Both my phones aren't for android and afcourse i've searched the forums as good as i could but so far no luck.

I'm looking for someone with some background knowledge of Android and who could point me in the right direction on what i should do to make a custom ROM for 1 of my telephones, i read that for the compact there are some linux tryouts so i think the base is there already it just needs to be explored a little further.

Hope that someone can help me out,

Thanks

Johan
[General Questions and Answers] Badwolve1:
Hi Johan, welcome to XDA

Unfortunatly i do not beleive that either of your devices will run android, however, part of the Android DTK is an emulator. That should work for you?

Good luck
[General Questions and Answers] b_w_johan:
Hi Badwolve,

Thanks for youre reply, I am aware of the emulator in the android SDK, but its really really slow... (CPU runs up to 100% really soon even with just an empty project running and RAM is 400MB wich is quit a lot) and then you have to count the RAM usage of netbeans to etc.(laptop kinda protests against this abuse ;) )

So if i could beat that crappy emulator part and run it (maybe just as slow, but hey) on my telephone that would be awesome.

Also i did read that for the magician there are several versions of linux, so there is some sort of progress, but i have no idea if someone is still working on that, or if anyone could point me in the direction where they left off.

(i had the idea atleast that android was somewhere based upon linux, and that the java was somewhat based upon sun's java idea :D (lol @ did you guys know there isn't "JAV"A ... there is just some layout of how java should look like and then you can makeup youre own ideas)

[General Questions and Answers] b_w_johan:
http wiki xda-developers com/index.php?pagename=Android_devices shows that the apache http pdadb net/index.php?m=specs&id=705&c=verizon_xv6700_htc_apache runs android.

I think the specs aren't much different from the magician (cpu/ram/rom) http pdadb net/index.php?m=specs&id=133&view=1&c=t-mobile_mda_compact_htc_magician

The himalaya has a bit less CPU but the RAM capacity is higher, so i guess if the specs from 1 phone is good enough to run android, phones with simmilar specs should work to.

Or is that just to simplistic?

I'd really love to hear where i should look to figure out howto start experimenting. I meen, i'm googling everywhere, but i have no idea what searchterms i should use to get in the right direction, the only thing i keep getting in my face all the time "its impossible blablabla" but then again, look at the specs of the cpu/ram ... and look at the "its impossible to run win mobile 5.0" while there is 6.5 available for them.

Its just a point that someone actually has to start working on it, and hope that others follow. If someone points me in the right way, i'll be the starter and hope that i get backup when i get stuck somewhere.

(can't add :// or . in links :S keep getting some weird notification ... copy'd the links from the wiki, so they can't be to bad ;) )

http www talkandroid com/android-forums/android-hardware/2-android-minimum-hardware-requirements.html Minimum requirements for android in 2008 .... wonder if those specs are still the same.
[General Questions and Answers] Badwolve1:
Unfortunatly, just because the specs are simaler, it doesn't mean it will work, different mainboard, ram type and rom type.

if you got a diamond or newer (but not HD2), you could use haret :)

i recp,emd the TP2 or Topaz (Diamond 2), these run Android very well

Hey guys,

This has probably been asked many times. I've seen the HD2 play movies face to face, is there a program or a format that can be used on the TP2 to utilize the whole screen and not just show a movie in letterbox format?
[General Topics] MooGoo:
This "letterbox format" you speak of is a result of the movies aspect ratio not matching that of your phones screen. Getting it to fill the whole screen should be a scaler setting of whatever video player software you are using.

By default most software is set to maintain the correct aspect ratio while keeping the full frame of the video visible. You want the setting that maintains the aspect ratio but zooms in on the video to fill the entire screen. The name of such a setting is variable between different applications; on Media Player Classic in Windows it is called "Touch Window From Outside", on TCPMP it is called "Fill Screen" and in the Zoom section of the options menu. I've never used any HTC video player application so I cannot help on that end.
[General Topics] Agent Zach:
With todays standards, there are several Aspect Ratios, though the most well known Aspect Ratios are Widescreen/Letter Box [16:9]/[16:10] and Full Screen/Standard [4:3].

If you wish NOT to download/install other apps to watch a movie in simple Full Screen mode, just make sure the video you want to watch in full screen is atleast 4:3 ratio.

I wanted to share my recent experience after I saw a massive drop in the battery life of my htc magic. (32a CM4.2.15.1).

I had initially put the battery life reduction down to an install of Swype. With it being in beta i just preusmed that a bug was eating the battery.

I even resorted to turning off Swype and going back to the standard keyboard :( Which for those of you who are yet to use Swype it was a struggle.

This however did not fix the problem. The issue had become such a problem that I even removed all widgets from the home screens, turned off wifi, brightness right down and was still having to charge the phone twice a day!

The penny dropped when I stopped receving mail and was unable to access the my downloads section of the market (market FC). The only other change that had happened recently was google now offering gmail addresses in the UK. I had changed my settings in googlemail to go from a @googlemail to an @gmail account.

This I presume prevented syncing of mail, contacts etc.. and access to the market.

I followed the instuctions in the link below to reset the account used by the phone and my battery problems have dissappeared! :cool:

As a new user i can post the link so use thread: 454405 :mad:

[General Questions and Answers] stephj:
Shouldn't DHCP on your WiFi router be set to 'On' and also for the phone as well. It will select an IP address for your device, which will then pick it up.

Otherwise you will have to allocate an IP address on the router, and then set the phone to the same address. If they don't match it won't work

It's a lot easier to let DHCP do all the donkey work. In most public areas DHCP is used as it is a 'Start it and forget it' system.
