Android / Linux works on Radio 2.07

Hi,

i've figured out how Android and Ubuntu will work with Radio 2.07. (I use Radio 2.07.51.22_2 - original Radio bei O2 Germany - ROM 1.72.207.0 Build 82124 GER)

You simply have to add

mem=102M

to set cmdline ind startup.txt or default.txt

For example, the startup.txt for the latest build of Catulla should look like:

set mtype 2524
set ramaddr 0x20000000
set ramsize 0x0fc00000
set initrd_offset 0x00a00000
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "[B]mem=102M[/B]"
boot

I was very surprised that I could boot fatsal-ubuntuX1-20100225, but not Android or other ubuntu-versions. So I have played a little bit with the HaRET-config and now it works. Other values of mem causes a crash when doing Init.

I've tried Android and it works very well, but I would like to know if there is also a log-daemon? I tried to find log-files by using a terminal and it seems that there is nothing :(

Last but not least, I have to say Thank you to the Devs! Great Work! I like it very much!

Edit: Sometimes it seems that Android is a little bit slow and the OpenGL-Demo does not work, but I know, this is still beta, but a very very good beta!

I actually ran that CLRCAD file before running Cotulla, but for the first time my phone crashed when everything was loading. I thought it may have to do with that, but i'll try again see if I get sound :D

Which radio version do you use? I use 2.09.50.29_2 with Desire2 but Wireless setting says "unable to start Wifi". upgraded to 2.10.50.08_2 still got the same message.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rob-ra:
found something new, the G-Sensor isn't calibrated right. And when I want to calibrate it myself it just jumps back to it's default setting...

Hi guys, great work!

I've been trying all test builds and following progress on IRC.

Latest build incorporating WiFi works great (connected to wireless and downloaded a game from the marketplace) but I've experienced an issue when booting back into WinMo which has been reported previously but would like to bring it to the forefront:

Specs as follows:

HSPL v3.0

Radio: 2.10.50.28_2

Rom: KWBR 1.6 WWE

CHT 1.8.5 installed

SENSE stops working. I've been switching over to Titanium when testing Android but coming back into WinMo and activating SENSE no longer works. Buttons are missing from the notification bar and apps are not installing/uninstalling correctly. Is this a Cookie's Home Tab issue or something else? After many reboots I've managed to uninstall CHT. Will test further.

EDIT: POP Email accounts and Exchange sync are also not working. All previous test builds didn't cause an issue but this latest one will need a hard reset of WinMo.

Many thanks for the hard work so far!

So today I started setting up for Leo USB host. I started with making this picture in paint, for easier set up. Thought it would be useful for somebody, so I will share:

This is the way i did it, but i used two USB extension cables. Works very well, atached some pictures. Doesn't look very nice but it works :)

edit: "advantage" of my soution: I can get power from a PC, not only from the charger
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] blax123:
Guys, who knows how to get the camera working?

I tried it by copying the new zImage from Cotulla to the Build with BT,WiFi,etc. but Camera does not starts..

My solution also can get power from a PC? :) Just connect the cabel to computer, instead of charger. :D

Hi,

I been trying to boot android on my HD2 but it freezes on "init panel" with few vertical lines fading gradually, i got 2.09 radio and 1.66 rom any idea guyz....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JimmyVD:
Im experiencing the exact same issue, CLI still visible in background, as if the backlight is switched off.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chuck232:
I'm on 2.12.50 and wifi works fine in the Cotulla build. Haven't tried the Desire v2 build.

Assuming G-Sensor means accelerometer (does it?) it seems to be calibrated okay on my device. I've rotated the device from portrait to landscape and back again without issue. Played some Labyrinth and the accelerometer was quick precise.

This was reported by several people. Your best bet is to stop Sense before starting Haret. I also had this issue (Sense wouldn't load) before I did this, which necessitated a hard reset. I had Cookie's Home Tab 1.8.5, but I cannot confirm that was the issue.

Some are also reporting any emails account you link in Android will become inoperable in WM. I haven't had this issue yet either (Gmail and Exchange accounts are both syncing fine both in Android and WM). Running Cotulla's latest.

Downloaded the new android build, but when trying to extract with winrar I am getting this : ! C:\Users\NTADMIN\Downloads\Cotulla_LEO_Android21_HW3D_BT_WLAN_DATA.rar: CRC failed in system.ext2. The file is corrupt
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] webmanya:
Try downloading again. If you are getting CRC Error it is mostly caused by faulty downloading or corrupt file.

Hi Jimmy,

I have installed the radio 2.10.50.28_2 now adroid is running fine :)

try installin the latest radio , hope it helps .....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gamer-Kenny:
I don't know if this works because with this solution you have the data-pins connected at three devices simultanously, but maybe it works, too :)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nebochenezzar:
I have been following this since the start, and i have had a very enjoyable time running these, its fun to show my friend who has an evo how much nicer it is to have a thin phone :D

A large thanks to the devs, i really think you are probably some of the smartest people on the planet, not to mention hardworking.

anyways, the first few builds ran the display at a very bright level, as soon as i pop the new one on there (7/11), the display is way to low to read, its interesting because i noticed people mentioning that there is no control over this, but it seems to 'start' this when the kernel is booting, its just odd that i had no problem till this build...thought i would throw that out there...

also with people installing, i find that a quick format of the sdcard, extract directly to the card, and reboot the phone, tends to allow it to boot well....i have also noticed, that a blue/green screen on the first boot is normal, reset and try again, usually works like a charm :cool:

oh of course get the new radio!

Fantastic progress. Tried COTULA's version of android on my HD2 and it rocks! I can't wait to have a ROM available.

Thank you devs. I'm gonna donate as soon as it's ported. This spares me the trouble of buying an android phone so, yeah, it's well worth it!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HeavyComponent:
I had a feeling it wasn't suppose to do something. What threw me off was I read someone saying they clicked it and saw it running. Unless I read the post wrong.

Try to add mem=102M as cmdline in startup.txt. this could propably work. (see my post some pages before)

Hey guys, how long does it take for u to get android booted? Mine has been booting for like 10 mins in the haret screen. Is this normal?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] scanie:
It should not take that long. Reset your phone and start haret again. If the "minus" blinks at a higher speed than it usually does in a computer, then you need to yank out the battery and start haret again. Repeat this procedure til' you get it at normal speed.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HeavyComponent:
When you say COTULA's version, you saying as if there is more then 1. All I see is only one version.

does it matter that I have got other stuff on the memory card? I read about needing to format the memory card before use, but I only have this one. Dont wanna lose the stuff in it
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HeavyComponent:
I have tons of stuff on my memory card and it doesn't harm it at all.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fhaines:
sd card

I have tons of WM apps installed to my sd card so I did not format the card and my android install boots fine. I imagine every case may be different. Either way backup your sd to your computer first just in case.

Thanks. Upgraded Radio to 2.12.50 and change Desire v2 with Cotulla build. Wifi works!

However, Desire v2 seems significantly faster than Cotulla, don't know why.

No sound so far. Will try the rest of the functionality and report here later.

Cheers!

testing it and i can't believe i'm at the android market store.. hey, just curious. i really like the hd2 because of the big screen. i been hearing samsung is coming out with a android phone vibrant from t-mobile. i have a question... is it really gonna be stable when it's finished? sorry for the question. i just dont want to sell my hd2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HeavyComponent:
Ah thanks! I didn't know about that.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NathanRandom:
It feels so good browsing the Android Market after using the Windows Marketplace. I always got a good reaction showing my friends my phone, but as soon as it unlocked the screen I didn't have much to show them to prove it was an iPhone contender, and this definitely helps change that.

Only problem I have is with some games not appearing full screen, as though they were meant to fit a smaller device like the Nexus One/Desire. Super K.O Boxing works fine fullscreen though some, such as raging thunder and the pac man demo aren't fullscreen. Also, is there a reason particular games such as Backbreaker aren't in the market?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Julian2103:

is hspl required for running any specific features of android?

I have not changed anything on my tmobile htc hd2 and instead just copied Cotulla's build on my SD Card. Is that all enough or do i miss any features due to not doing hspl?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jaidedfocus:
Finally got a few of the builds working and even tried the Froyo version. The Froyo version looks awesome but doesn't play well with my HD2

Desire build works but has lines and can't use WiFi but I'll keep going thru the comments looking for ways to make it work.

Cortulla works but still no sound and goes unresponsive after a few minutes and has to be rebooted.

All in all, I'm really enjoying Android on my HD2! I wish I could port this and get rid of WinMo but I'll be patient. You are guys are amazing with the work you do.

Search the forums buddy..

In 2 lines, still people are working on builds and has couple of glitches even though it is stable.Like in cotulla build, works everything except sound and it hangs after few minutes.

V2 desire rom has 3g and data issues..

And good news is we have seen lot of progress in 10 days. The developers achieved so much in 10 days.Hats off to them...

It's a shame the 3D acceleration doesn't apply to Ubuntu (or anything besides Android). Wasn't there some effort from Qualcomm to release their kernel driver (with binary blob) for use under any flavor of Linux?

I don't know much about Android's internals (I despise Android as an affront to both free and proper software), so can someone very briefly explain the hardships incurred in enabling 3D or camera in non-Android systems?

Also, has there been any progress with tslib (or has anyone tried using Ubuntu 10.04 instead of 9.10)?

just tried desire 2.5:

(deleted all files from previous versions, extracted new files directly to sd card, disabled sense, ran clrcad, ran haret)

- the 1st time i had to push the red button because the phone got stuck in the autolock black screen. it seems to have the same issue as the cotulla build - backlight autolock screen, freezes and cannot unlock.

- on the 2nd boot things got better - 3g works, tried some apps, etc. still cannot login to gmail account/ marketplace.

from personal experience, the desire builds are definitely the most stable builds i tried (haven't tried V2.5 yet though).

it's true that cotulla's build is smoother and faster but it doesn't last more than 2-3 mins for me...desire builds are much more stable, about 7/10 times i'm able to shutdown properly.

great work everybody :D it'd be awsome to have dual android/winmo boot on HD2 :)

My most recent try I was able to use Cotulla for about an hr or more before rebooting my phone. Even had my 9 yr old daughter using it while we drove and she was watching YouTube videos for about a half an hr to 45 minute drive. Didn't mind not having sound cause I have my BlackBerry with me and I can talk on that.

Now trying the newer Desire build to see how well it plays with my phone. Really like it cause its designed with forHTC devices and well, this is an HTC device. But still love the Nexus one feel. I'm dl'ng all of them to different media cards so I can have a different build with me whereever I go and to brag of course! :D

Hi Chuck,

As I stated in my post, I have been stopping Sense prior to using Android but this hasn't stopped Sense getting corrupted. This is the first build that's caused this for me, I just wanted to highlight the point again as it's quite a serious issue and needs to be tested more by us and the devs.

Hi,

I don't think there is anything usable yet regarding graphics accerlation in non-android.

To get an overview of problems caused by closed android libraries or other sorts of androidism check the status page:

http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Leo/Status

As you might have noticed already, nobody replied on the tslib mailing list yet.

I think using another version of tslib will not make much of a difference. Not either what you proposed about the dejitter. We will have to rewrite the driver and fix it the right way. I am checking other sources for help atm.

Soon as I got somewhere I will add it in the wiki (link is on status page) and here on the forum cause I will sure put some GNU builds then with TS support.

TMOUS woes

I've been testing both the Cotulla and Desire builds and both look extremely promising. EDGE/3G don't work on either ROM for me. On the Desire build, I see my signal strength but there's no 3G/E/H indicator for data. On the Cotulla build I see an E (or rarely a 3G symbol), but I can only connect briefly before TMOUS shuts me down, apparently because the Cotulla build has an Android IMEI and I don't have an Android data plan. Is there any way I can pass my real HD2 IMEI to Tmobile to avoid this problem?

I know the Android plan and the "other" data plan cost the same, but I'm on a family plan and don't have the ability to change plans on the fly. If necessary I can loop mount the ext2 images to change config files...
