I don't know if you saw this, if you did sorry!

But is an android app that I think is pretty useful, especially if you watch movies on your pc. It has built in VLC media player functions to automatically start you movies. You can browse through all of your movies (on your pc) on your phone's screen. Click one and it opens on your pc. All kinds of good stuff.

Gmote http://www.gmote.org/

It lets you control your computer from you android phone. The screen acts like a touchpad, and it has some built in functions for playing movies and music. I use it all the time and I am glad I have it back!

I'm not real sure how the cursor will work without a trackball though... but it is not really needed.

rootfs.img

The way i did it is reboot in windows, set the usb connection to USB mass storage mode, and deleted the rootfs.img which is either in the ROOT of the SD card or in the Android folder (froyo android 2.2 roms sometimes). I then downloaded the

file as is (rootfs.img) and just copy it there (either root of sd card or the android folder) it worked fine.

Thnx Cotulla for the new zImage and darktsone for sense v5!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] azazellov:
Yeah that's the newest, the one i'm running now.

That's weird it didn't work... Maybe because u have 2 of them??? u're only supposed to have 1 Android folder I think, but it might work with 2 separate installs im not sure.....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] swaser18t:
i have the android folder copied to the root of the sd. i then opened the folder on the pc and also copied everything into it. is that right? thats what the guide says. from there i should be able to just copy over the old root. but it doesnt replace it it just adds the new one. so i opened the sd card on pc and deleted the old root file and add the new one. does everything sound right?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
Sounds right, but when I drag the new rootfs to my SD card, it overwrites it. As long as the only rootfs is the new one and it is called rootfs.img, you should be good.

New ZImage not working for me

The brand new Zimage is not working for me,

Cotulla_zImage_PANEL_ON_OFF_ON_OFF_OFF_GSOD...

I tried to boot twice and it just stayed on a white screen. i took out the battery both times, tried again.

The third time it booted fine but as soon as i turned the screen off it wouldn't come back, the screen stayed black when pressing the power button.

I am using the zImage nospeedy from Cotulla with the dan1j3l - Froyo build 1.0

So in an attempt to conserve some power I turned off automatic backlight control in windows mobile.

The thought behind this was that winmo is still somewhat present. I was able to turn off data connections but when I turned off automatic back light the kernal would freeze and I believe it caused a segfault.

.Can anyone confirm this.

android reports 100 Percent awake time. which is probably where the battery life is going .

They still have some problems with binaries, so until they find what's wrong (there is a lot of possiblities), they can't progress a lot :(.

One thing, LeTama said last night on irc :

[00:43] <LeTama> by the way, Leo is 8250A, not 8250, maybe everything is in the A ? :)

According to this photo : http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=273551&d=1264629291

which is taken from the thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=624331.

It's a 8250.

Can it still be a toolchain problem ? Did you try 4.5.X with the same toolchain options that you used with 4.4.4 ?

Also I found a PDF document about ABI which seems to be interesting in some place :

http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.ihi0043c/IHI0043C_rtabi.pdf

Well that tell me that some extra parameters in tool-chain can solve some problems ...

Also I thing the first thing to do is to be sure that eabi is the real problem, may be someone that can do a helloworld program with some eabi instruction, run it and if it works that would means that eabi is correct no ?

After further reading I've find that :

http://wiki.debian.org/ArmEabiPort

And finally :

http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/target_arch?@action=faq&target_arch=arm

I saw that you have already a toolchain that active VFP ans NEON but there extra parameters that can be interesting to check (VFPv3, thumb-2, ...)

Hopes that helps !

I think dcordes refers to that :

http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/mobile-linux-discuss/2010-May/000090.html

but that "only" means that LeTama find another low level issue with the binaries, this issue can be due to a lot of things as I said before, may be my previous post can help a bit to find out something to test.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] letama:
Hi Domz,

Thanks for the picture! I saw many references stating 8250A, I'm not even sure the A is added to the inscription. From what I read, the A mean 45mm. Anyway, it shouldn't change much as it's also used on Desire.

We're not sure of anything, we suspected toolchain as we had different behavior with dynamic/static linking. However, weirdly, I noticed that I used armv4 libraries when it worked although I should have used thumb2 armv7. As soon as I use armv7 one, it crashes.

I spent a lot of time trying to build 4.5.x toolchain, it's very difficult to do it right. But in my last tests, I used android pre-build toolchain with android source code for qsd8250, so it should run on our HD2.

Thanks for the pointers, I'll take a deeper look.

I tried few combination already without much success. It could be a compilation problem, but I have the feeling that the issue is elsewhere.

LeTama
