Sorry guys, I didn't know downloading got stuck at 0% forever (I didn't fully test market).

...so I still cannot get the market to work, and 'su' is buggy too, and Titanium Backup (which backs up market-data and app-data as well as the apk) has never really worked. I think it just needs a better version of busybox. I'd also like to see FireRat's script not have all those errors so that we have all the same tools in CM5.

Can someone that knows what they are doing in linux please build us an up-to-date 'system\bin' and 'system\xbin' that runs all the scripts and maybe even mounts an EXT Apps-to-SD like the G1? If that tasks falls upon me, we are going to be waiting a while. All the info is on these forums, but I just don't have the time since I'm not very familiar with linux.

How do you get the market working? My script works but wont actually download, the Market Enabler doesn't even let me past the signin for the google account. I haven't tried both (import key, then run Market Enabler) which may be how you guys are getting it to work yes/no? I've only tried market enabler after a fresh flash, and that does not work for me. I give it root first. I choose T-Mobile.

Root seems to work fine if I give it 15-20 min after an install. Before that it will not come up, and then come up way later after you had given up and moved on to other things. Sometimes it gives root access over and over (always with Titanium Backup). I have tried both my root, improving on my root (by editing packages.xml), and now using the UniversalRoot program. All see buggy at first, but then work for everything except Titanium Backup (and probably SetCPU too). Titanium actually complains that it ran 'su' but could not use a busybox command so something is wrong with our root. If you let Titanium Backup install its own copy of BusyBox just for it, it starts working, but still crashes (or makes 0 progress) when actually trying to backup an app. I had it working many installs ago (I think by upgrading our busybox) so it would backup 1 app, and then crash. I have 5 apps backed up from the tablet, so I know it kinda worked once :)

Ok,,, Now I really need some help!

I played with some files and now I am stuck on android boot screen. Many restarts no luck. Never did flash new rom so went to load the 08/04. Get all the way up to start and It ends really quick with a "ERROR file open"

[UsbTxFile start! run_addr=0xffffffff]

[UsbTxFile end]

Find Device From Name

Opened successfully.

Opened successfully.

[SUCCESS: ReadFile otgtype:(0) hRead:(0x3c8)]

[SUCCESS: CreateFile]

[Memory Allocation! txBuf = 0x2530048 ]

[UsbTxFile start! run_addr=0x40200000]

[UsbTxFile end]

[ERROR:File Open]

Tried it a dozen times.. same result. Re-downloaded the 08/04 file.. same problem.

Not sure what I am doing wrong????

Thanks

Hi kaiza1,

This is how the xda devices boot android e.g the HTC Vogue. It is a WM6 phone with 128MB ROM + 256MB NAND. Basically they load a small but functional linux kernel into the ROM which usually where the windows mobile stuffs are. But the only thing this system do is to run a loader. So when the machine boot, this loader will ask for what we want to do. That is the screen you see there.

Then, if we want to boot linux on the sd card, this loader will load the linux kernel from the sdcard. If you loaded the linux onto the NAND, then you can run it from there too.

I suspect the "ROM" of this device is the uboot partion. That is the image called uboot.img that you have to load into the flasher. Maybe they don't use ROM but entirely NAND. Which is dangerous because if you ran out of battery for a long time, you will need to reflash the machine before you can use it.

However, we can try to put the loader system on to the uboot partition. I think that the general direction they are getting at.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] eyal.shem:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
One of the main "good ideas" would be to implement a full back light off, the same way that it works on ZT-180's Windows CE. Well in fact, the "even good idea" would be a real sleep mode, but since it could be more difficult, at least that the back light goes off to save some battery.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
In the way it trys to keep your mem available to the settings you have it does order for kill by highest OOM value first so if you long press an app and set lower OOM value then at leat till reboot this porcess shouldn't be kiiled... I.E. OOM_DISABLE(-17) is lowest and not killable... most want to stay alaive procs set to ~-16 so they would be last to go... problem is using the long press only works till next restart so not a great solution... I run autokiller on all my tablets but on my phone I do run it sometimes but with far less than 'Strict' settings... as usually the default tuning, at least on the Moto Droid1 rom I run, is pretty decent...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
Implementing the BT Bluez A2DP Audio In/Out support would be useful as then a Bluetooth headset could be used on the tablet for VOIP like SIP and Skype... this code for the Bluez stack seems to be readily available in typical Linux versions so there should be plenty of examples...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Alcaparra:
Are you sure that it's AutoKiller? Because AutoKiller only changes parameters of android. Android is who closes application, not autokiller. Autokiller only says to Android: "start to close when RAM is X".

I think that you mean Advanced Task Killer or another application that close applications automatically.

Sorry for my english.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
I know, and I've used that setting a few times, but you cannot remember to do that on each reboot, can you? The ideal would be a list of "ignored processes", just like ES Task Manager does. Until something like that is implemented I'll stop using AutoKiller. It cost 611 euros to learn it, but I learned it well.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
Yes, it's AutoKiller. I removed it and all is going fine now. I guess that if I use the preset "system default" all would work fine, but then what to have AutoKiller for? And if I use a higher preset, how can I be sure that it will not close Astrid anyway?

No, on my phone I prefer to use some application which can distinguish between processes.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
I would not recommend my custom 0927 image anymore. In the 1030 official firmware some bugs have been fixed (audio) and lots of improvements were made (screen calibration, etc). It's best to go with 1030 IMHO.

By the way I've received a Beagleboard XM development board. It has some amazing capabilities, for example some really fast OpenGL ES 2.0 acceleration. I am currently trying to boot Android on it. It's no handheld device, but it's useful for building your own projects (NAS home server, media center, home surveillance and automation, robotics control etc) or plain software development.

ePad vs Viewsonic G tablet

Okay, I have the option of either getting the ePad this week for $230.00 or the Viewsonic G tablet in a month for $400.00. My needs are as follows:

1. Android Market

2. eBooks (pdf, Kindle, and Nook)

3. Web surfing & email

4. Custom development of my own software (prior Windows Mobile developer looking into writing Android apps)

I've also seen where the ePad supposedly also has a Windows CE 6 image that can be flashed to the device, which is interesting since I've developed on that platform before.

My question is which to get of these two devices. I've seen tons of pros and cons for each. I like to tinker with the hardware and am not opposed to trying custom ROMs and such, but by the same token, don't want to have to spend days tweaking a device. I also like the fact that the ePad is cheaper, but that isn't the main show stopper.

Well the ZT-180 is ARM11 (~$175+shipping), a middle A8 option could be ($226+shipping);

http://www.merimobiles.com/Herotab_MID816_Android_2_2_Flash_10_1_1_2GHz_p/meri0541.htm

though not sure we know much about those yet but running a Samsung A8 @1.2GHz 512MB ram, with 800x600 res. so seems like a good middle solution, then a Tegra Malata hybrid (~$400) though of Ztab, Advent, FC/A10T, Viewsonic GTab @Sears I believe only the GTab is readily available but there's a ton to read from our use of those the last few weeks and now 3 custom firmwares and growing... BUT... T2 is new beast and Still needs some baking time for all to be smooth with Android....

I have 2 apps that won't run without it, 1Password being one. Something in the default systems prevents certain security type javascript files from running, quitting 1Password when it tries to access it's keychain. What have you removed from the standard install I wonder that allows this to run, and how on earth do I get this on 1030. It is better with video and audio, but without 1Password it doesn't do the important things well!! I'd love to know how I can remove unwanted stuff from the ZT-180 until it works.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wasserkapf:
If you need Flash so bad, why choose an iPad? I thought that Apple won't let flash on it.

Flash is proprietary crap. After windows buys Adobe, they will then have the proprietary market cornered, with flash and silverlight. We should be boycotting flash, and demanding that sites use HTML5 instead.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] OpenMinded:
Frankly, because I wanted to run looptastic Hd :).

I agree with you on Flash and Silverlight, but hey, we shouldn't all be using Windows either, but that is also hard to accomplish?

The fact is Adobe has Flash running on Android already and HTML5 can not (yet) provide all stuff Flash can.

I am with you on making HTML 5 the standard, so let's start converting those Flash sites.

But what about streaming licensed content :)?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bhood:
Just to be sure, there's a vast difference between "byte code" and "binary code". The former is meta-data that must be interpreted (by other software), while the latter is designed to run directly on the CPU.

You do not simply "decompile" binary code into anything remotely resembling its original form. While that may be possible for "managed" code (like C# or Java), or complied scripting languages (like Python), all you're going to get by decompiling something written in C/C++ is assembly code. And unless you're fluent in assembly, and ready to handle what is sure to be hundreds of thousands of lines of code, you have achieved nothing more than the exercise and effort of performing the decompile.

You'd have more chance of getting to the firmware that Zenithink creates by starting from the unmodified Linux kernel sources and trying to modify it to match. You probably wouldn't live long enough to reach it from the other direction. :)
