I've got a question to the DalvikVM. I think that some applications crash because they need more heapsize (i.e Adobe Reader). Is it dangerous to increase the maximum heap size (if possible) ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ntn555:
Who can explain why no touch screen. Sometimes the firmware. Please give advice and workarounds .Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
Llewellyn_ll , I have no idea, really. Also I'll take a break from doing Android things for about one week.

Another idea that is currently in my head is to patch out the code that displays the force close dialogs from Android (or to increase the timeout by factor 2 or 3). The Android source code is huge, but a search might help to find the right place to patch.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Llewellyn_ll:
Why do you want to remove error dialog? The errors that occur still will be there.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
Don't look for "force close". Look for ANR (Activity Not Responding) since this and not "force close" is what you are talking about.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
The errors that pop up that say wait or close is because the application isn't responding within a certain amount of time, that's why CB want's to increase the time it takes for the program to respond so those errors won't pop up as often (especially at boot when everything tries to start up at the same time).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
LOL, I think he knows the difference...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
I think so too, but I'm tired of see how people misuse the terms constantly.

This is a real "force close":

And this is what people call FC but is actually an ANR:

Please, let's name things properly.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Llewellyn_ll:
@omarahum: I thought too that this is why he wants to do this but it sounded like he would first try to patch them out and then, maybe, try to increase the timeout and I was wondering about it. But I'm certainly wrong ;)

PS: If anyone got problems with some applications (like me: Adobe Reader) and logcat says that heap has run out of memory, try to add "dalvik.vm.heapsize=32m" to system/build.prop. Then Adobe Reader worked properly on my tablet.

So its been two weeks since my defective tablet was confirmed to be delivered USPS.com said it arrived and was picked up on October 1st, and I have had little to no word from them telling me what is going on with my defective tablet and I just requested a refund so I will let you guys know what happens in the days to follow.

I love how the customer gets jerked around when it comes to payment or merchandise but when the seller doesn't get payment or the merchandise is late they always get what they want when they want it.

I got over 200.00 just sitting in limbo that I'm afraid I will never see again and no tablet to justify spending it.

Should have just bought a freaking Ipad.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Llewellyn_ll:
Hi,

me again having a new question (especially to CB, because he works with Android Image files): Is there a way to look into external/alsa-lib/src/control/control.c ? (that's a line of the logfile during startup of my tablet). As I heard/understood the reason why mic is broken is that ALSA forces two channels of Input but the mic only supports one. So changing this maybe will fix microphone. But I neither know anything about compiling a driver for android nor how to change it that way that it will work on the ePad. Therfore: If there's a way to change something directly on the pad, I would prefer.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] insight3fl:
Confirmed bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth dongle (from separate companies) works just fine. Only problem is when the dongle is installed, there is an arrow on the screen (does not move) . I have not tried a combo keyboard that incorporates a touch pad or other pointing device...kind of wish I would have bought one of those. Will post device information later.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
Great. What is the brand/model of the dongle, or the chip used on it?

Edit: Oops, I didn't see the "will post device information later" part. :p
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
I'm only speculating/SWAG, but I suspect that this is going to turn out to be a 2.4GHZ proprietary wireless interface... I have a couple of those working fine as trackball/keyboard and trackpad/keyboard combos, but in testing a generic Bluetooth dongle I can see that there is a lot missing for the 'piping'... low level android support fires on attempt to enable but there isn't any driver to talk to...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
Yes, may be that. In that case it's identified by the system as a regular USB keyboard, so the connection would not be useful for anything else.

adb command problems

I have been using the adb bridge to attempt to see what is going on in the zt180 and have found a few quirks/problems . I am running the current 1013 roms but did not replace the user image with my apps so I'm not sure if it is related. Anyway when using "adb shell" interactively the interface locks up when using the "top" command (linked to toolbox) and the "busybox top" command displays about 24 lines and locks up the same way. The keyboard characters entered echo on the screen, but I can not get any commands to execute, and have to abort the connection with a Ctrl/C and then use "adb shell" to reconnect. I get a similar lockup using the "ps" command thru toolbox and busybox.

Why are some commands linked to toolbox and some to busybox ?

Busybox shows version 1.15.2

Anybody have any ideas????

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
toolbox contains the "official" Android commands. They can deal with the Android user and group names, for example - whereas busybox will just show numeric IDs.

Zenithink played it safe and used busybox only for the commands that are not provided by toolbox. my ROMs do it differently, only "sh" needs to be run by toolbox or some shell scripts won't start (pm for example, used when doing an adb install)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] billv686:
Any idea why the "Top" and "PS" commands seem to lock up after so many lines are displayed and I have to use a Ctrl/C to break the connection?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] insight3fl:
Hey JTB, it is actually a true bluetooth set up. In fact, I am looking for a mouse that is bluetooth And all I can find locally are the 2.4 megahertz propriatary device. I am at work, but wll post the catalog and links to both devices.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
THANX this is Very Interesting News! I'll look forward to that link as perhaps the generic dongle I have uses a different protocol or driver as just isn't identified in any way and I can find one similar to yours... Could you perhaps run an 'adb logcat' before plugging your's in and through the enabling bluetooth as then we could at least see what's supposed to happen as your's sure seems to work...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] OpenMinded:
Thanks, worked for me.

Any chance that can work with the flash10 installer apk that is floating around?

Or does it need different plugins?

About the sound: I typed the right command now, but apps using mic just hang or crash.

Hope ZT will fix that :)

The bluetooth adapter is Belkin F8T016 (linux and mac compatable) and the bluetooth keyboard is DEALEXTREME sku 45252
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
I'll search to try and find the chip used on this dongle, so we can find other valid dongles.

How did you enable the bluetooth? Does the button on energy widget work? Does the dongle work if you plug it with the tablet already started or have you to plug it before boot?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] insight3fl:
There is a button on the dongle... you push it, then push the button on the keyboard, I hit a few keys and voila,,, it connects and the dongle blinks as it recieves data! On my phone, I have to do the pass key code to pair them... not here as there is no routine to prompt for that.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
THANX... I had ordered mine from an amazon vendor;

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001EBE1LI/ref=oss_product

I believe it's this one as seem identical including blister pack shipped in except for brand name as mine was generic...

http://www.sabrent.com/product_BT-USBT.php

There isn't and button of these as would be expected for pairing etc... but as it dosn't work I guess this one a moot point... It does work fine on Windows though... for $2.99...

Edit: After searching around for other options I found a number of inexpensive ones based on Broadcom chip "Broadcom 2046 Bluetooth 2.1 USB" ... But also notes that this is Not supported under Linux whereas comments for the Belkin one saying it Was supported for Linux... so I just ordered 3 ($12.95 each free ground shipping) from;

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] not_a_bubba:
Apologies to the mods if this isn't appropriate here. I went a little wild with "tablet fever" and ended up buying an extra ZT-180 cuz I was too impatient with time the first vendor was taking to ship. Course they both showed up the same week. :rolleyes: So one is excess to my needs. It's the hardware version with the 1024x600 screen and it's been updated to 929 with CB's image. I genned a fresh device id for it and confirmed the market's working. Added a 16G sdcard and then put it back in the box. $175 shipped via USPS Priority Mail (US only). PM me if you know anyone who might be interested.

Sorry for the interruption, back to trying to get 3G working...my current headache!

Its an older logitech blue tooth combo hub-keyboard-mouse

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
THANX... one more to add to the list as works... at $12.95 the belkin one probably even beats getting the internal mic and speakers working if the drivers work right for audio in/out... as ear bud or headset would be handy for VIOP apps as well as digital audio which internal speakers are so tinny they just sound sick...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
Hum... that's sounds weird. Not only the pairing without password, but the fact of not need to do nothing on the tablet to enable BT.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
If it's for a wireless keyboard+mouse combo I'm pretty sure that it's not a BT dongle, but just a wireless reception unit.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fandtm666:
im pretty positive that it IS A BLUETOOTH hub because i have connected my old nokia's and tested with my iphone and other items through it.

but so there is no misunderstanding here are a few pictures.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
For what I'm reading it sounds like this adapter just work as a wireless HID receptor when it detects that the device is a keyboard or a mouse, may be then it just identify itself as a HID to the tablet. In such case it doesn't be useful for pairing to any other device. Hope I'm wrong.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
Interesting... I still have the doubt on whether it's being recognized as a BT by the tablet or it's identifying it self as a HID USB device, as I said on my previous post. Will see when more test are done.

bridge 45582 0
stp 1655 1 bridge
bnep 9436 2
btusb 10957 2

I think that the btusb is the important one.

I then inserted it into my tablet. Logcat does seem to recognize it as a Broadcom HID device. But when I run lsmod on the tablet, I don't see any of the modules loading. I do see the wireless module, and one other.

I tried to manually load the driver, with no luck. I tried several methods:

modprobe btusb

insmod btusb.ko

busybox modprobe btusb

busybox insmod btusb.ko

I usually get: "No such file or directory".

Either I am trying to load the module incorrectly, or the bluetooth modules are not compiled into the kernel.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
That's what I thought, so no BT after all, or so it seems.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bhood:
No, I've tried a BT dongle in the device, and it doesn't even attempt to do anything with it.

On the other hand, a Logitech M305 wireless mouse dongle works in the USB port perfectly. You get the mouse pointer, and you can use the mouse just as you would your finger. I suspect that's also why people are getting mouse pointers when they try to use certain BT dongles -- the ZT-180 is recognizing it as a wireless mouse adapter, not a BT audio device.

For giggles, I also plugged in an ASUS USB-N13 I had sitting in the closet in the box, and the ZT-180 recognizes it and gives me 130Mbs to my 802.11n router! Pretty cool. ;)

I'd still like to have BT audio with this tablet, though.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
This is really about what I expected as I don't see any BT references in the tablet files or logcat...

I figured I'd order the Belkin one at least because we had no problem finding the Linux driver for it so it would have the Best chance of getting implemented the easiest... maybe even we could get Mr. Wang to build a test kernel for it... we have plenty willing to test as can be seen by the quick interest in this topic here and at slatedroid... It could be an added selling feature that I wouldn't think would be too painful to add to a build to try it...

Or of course release enough that we can build our own :) I think enough of us have been able to complete a successful generic build or build that runs on a documented device so would hope wouldn't have too much problem pulling this one off... it seems to need limited hardware support of mostly generic drivers so adding some more that aready run on parallel linux versions shouldn't be a problem...
