Obso: You are using HaRET? It looks like you are using a l1q1d kernel from late October? If you are using HaRET,

I'd suggest using the latest l1q1d kernel, and add "haret_divisor=2200" to your default.txt file.

How the heck to you get 2.6.32 to work with HaRET? It always stalls after detecting the sdcard when I try it.

That dmesg file didn't include any battery information since it stops too early.

To capture a log, charge your phone overnight, and in the morning, use a terminal emulator (In Fresh Froyo, there's one in "Dev Tools" App).

Type:

Then extract dmesg.log from the sdcard and send it to me.

I understand that your battery doesn't reach as high voltage or as low current as mine do when full. I'd just like to know what the voltage and current reach when the phone has been charging overnight. Then maybe I can put out an update that will show 100% for you when charged.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] osilvan:
I'm also using 2.6.32 with haret in polaris. The problems I have with this kernel are:

The sd card suddenly unmounts and I can't access filesystem. Sometimes the whole system frozes in this situation.

The camera application doesn't work (I have to confirm this with latest kernel, I think is a specific problem for polaris).

¿Are these errors specific for haret users, or are happening also with nand installation?

Thanks in advance
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l1q1d:
It depends on rom.

Polaris only

Hi,

In order to get the dmesg.log you need I opened the terminal emulator but can not find how to type | or even more important > (I am using a german physical keyboard QWERTZ) and can not get the virtual keyboard on for this app

Any ideas?

I notice the latest kernels at

I'm using a nand install, with l1qu1ds latest kernel. I think I gave you the wrong dmsg (looks like there's one that appears in the andboot folder too, that's what I sent you)

However after 2 crashes yesterday I can't my phone to boot up today, even trying to restore data I'm getting yaffs errors.

Odd thing about the 2 crashes tho. After the first one I got yaffs errors but after the phone booted it was all fine, no FC's or anything. Also my battery showed the correct charge after the crash. After the 2nd crash I get almost continuous yaffs errors and it won't boot the system or restore /data.

Completely wiping it now to see if that makes it happy but that means I won't have any useable logs till tomorrow (and lost the 2 from yesterday).

Graphics issue, may be related to NBH

Hello all, I am using latest kernel, nbh and zimage files from androidhtc.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=androidhtc/kernel-release.git;a=tree;f=2.6.32;h=035a1b5f1b6877fbaf23f71ce192da9284d2ccd6;hb=HEAD and Kyle's Fat free FROYO.

Now with functionality, everything is working but the graphics are lot bizarre, as if I am in Safemode in Windows. I have tried previous build, not with the same kernel and graphics was fine. Could someone refer to the stable NBH and default.txt files that I could use to make it work in my TYTN II/Kaiser.

Thanks,

One more really naive question, What to name nbh file that I get from repository? and do we have to place it in Andboot or root?

For What I see, it seems I have to place it in root. Please let me know.

Kernel 2.6.32

Hello,

I am running on my tytn II latest kernel 2.6.25 with Fresh Froyo on nand and it was really stable for the last 2 weeks. Now I want to try the Scoot CyanogenMod 6.1 RLS 3 but I know I have to change the kernel to version 2.6.32 for this. So before I will change the kernel I have some questions about the kernel 2.6.32:

1.) Is the kernel 2.6.32 really stable with Scoot CyanogenMod 6.1 RLS 3 on nand because I have read some informations about the shutdown problems, data corruption and the yaffs errors (because I need a stable mobile phone really)?

2.) Which 2.6.32 kernel version is the most stable on nand?

3.) Which combination from all kernels and systems (donut, eclair, Froyo) is the most stable combination on a tytn II on nand?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] obso:
If you are flashing it with hardSPL then it needs to be named KAISERIMG.NBH and put in root. You can also use the ROMUpdateUtility (in windows) by naming it RUU_signed.NBH and putting it in the same folder as ROMUpdateUtility.exe

Unfortunately the .32 kernel is a work in progress and isn't anything considered "stable". The most stable .32 build (in my experience) is DZO's 09-09 with the /data partition on SD. But having /data on SD slows things down a bit. L1qu1d (and others) are working on ironing out the bugs you mentioned in the .32 kernel (data loss/yaffs errors) but it is still a work in progress and is slightly more sluggish than older .32 kernels.

Comes down to a tradeoff between speed and reliability. .32 is MUCH faster on my phone but until it gets a proper nand driver it will have data loss isues. The older .28 (i think) is much more stable once you get wifi sorted but is a bit slower. I haven't noticed any system builds being any more unstable than any of the others. For the most part I just stick with the fresh froyo releases and then customize it how I want it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] cnigro1279:
You have to rename the Kernel to Kaisimg and keep the .nbh extension and place that on root of sd......Your android build of choice should go in 'andboot'. Hope this helps....:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Restorer:
When trying out different kernels, is it safe to just keep flashing the nbh file or does the whole build have to be done each time?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
It is safe to do just the kernel as the build sits ontop of the kernel.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Restorer:
Thanks. I've just been blindly following instructions on all this. Does anyone have a link where I could read up on the principles of what we are doing here - like what functions the kernel performs compared with the builds themselves etc?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
The kernel is essentially the drivers and it controls what happens in the background. The build of android you are using is controlled by the kernel so changing the kernel does not affect the build unless the build is not compatible with the kernel, in which case it just wouldnt boot or may have problems. But it is not permanent as it can be fixed by switching the kernel back to one that worked.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Restorer:
Ah, OK. So, for example, I have been using - and loving - Thoughtlesskyle's Fat Free Froyo build but first with the latest .32 build from this thread I could not get mass storage to work (Windows 7 64bit) so went back to .25 kernel which I knew does work. But then had battery problems getting stuck at 100% so wound up going to the .32 dated 9.9.10 which has worked fine now for several days.

Are you saying I need not have gone back to square one each time by reinstalling the whole build but would have been able to fix things by just flashing the kernel?

Also it's been a while since I encountered the multiple FC issue but would just changing the kernel solve this as well or is a whole new installation needed when this happens?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] obso:
It's easiest to look at it like a generic Linux system. The NBH is your kernel which works just like a Linux kernel (because it is). The build (donut/froyo/etc), which is the androidinstall.tgz, is the same as your Linux distro (ubuntu/gentoo/etc). And the /data partition functions just like a /home partition.

Hope that helps. That's just what I've figured out by observation.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] obso:
That's exactly what he's saying (took me a while to figure this out too)

Data corruption is an issue with all the .32 kernels so just keep a fairly recent /data backup on your phone so its not so much trouble when (not if) it happens.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Restorer:
and how do you do that? Through that option in the installer menu or is there an app?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] flinx42:
I installed the 10-24 kernel yesterday evening, together with thoughtlesskyle's not-so-super-froyo

It's been almost perfect to now.

I had it on charger overnight and took it off at 9:00 in the morning

Now at 23:30 it was reporting 35% battery, which I thought was pretty good going consumption wise and realistic given that it had had only light use.

I rebooted it nicely last night without problem and no loss.

Just now I rebooted it, made a /data backup and started it again.

All seemed fine.

A short while later, I tried to wake it and it would not respond to the power button anymore and only showed black screen.

Keyboard light was permanently on, so battery unlikely to be dead yet.

In the end I pressed reset, which corrupted /data :(

Have now restored /data, booted again and it says 28%

so battery reading seems pretty good to me

So apart from that hanger and the loss of the Exchange account this afternoon it's been a pretty good day for Android on Kaiser.

:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] flinx42:
At least if you've installed to NAND, then you can do the /data backup in the bootmenu where you install the build in the first place.

The one where you press and hold Dpad to access it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Restorer:
Great, thanks. I'll do that now since everything seems to be running just fine - apart from one white screen of death out of sleep.

So, if I do get FCs due to data corruption it will be cured by a simple restore data from the boot menu?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] samjam:
Usually yes - providing you managed to get a good backup in the first place.

This is more likely if you do a load of un-important things for a while (like using app-market or something) so that when the system shuts-down (so you can reboto and make the backup) and forgets to unmount properly you only lose un-important data when you make your backup.

(Shutdown is something I'm working on, but I can't find out any shutdown steps in the rc file or see how it's done right now)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Dratini:
Is there any current way to have the soft keyboard change automatically when you slide out the hardware keyboard?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] luvit:

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Dratini:

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] luvit:

Nah you can't.. if its set to android keyboard then that's it. Or any other key board..(swype.etc.)
[About XDA developers] LiquidSolstice:
Why not just create a "Developer" forum usergroup for all the Android/Winmo developers who create ROMs/Mods/Themes and use that rank to filter out who is allowed to create new threads in the respective "Dev" forums of each phone? It's maddening to see so many [Q]'s among all the ROM titles and would REALLY clean things up, not to mention push all the other Q/A and help traffic into the forum sections they actually belong in, resulting in greater topic exposure, and by extension, potentially expedited help in dealing with problems.

Have a simple process of a message appearing when a non-dev clicks on the new thread button in the Dev section, and have it say "Sorry, you are not a recognized developer. Android/WinMo developers are the only ones allowed to post here, all questions and other discussion belong in the Q/A forum of this phone (Link here). To apply, simply PM (some moderator), tell that moderator you are a Dev, and you will be able to post.

You're not going to have to ask for proof from Devs who want to post, because since the majority of help threads created in the Dev sections are made by people who simply don't know better, are new, or don't understand the difference between forum sections. There won't really be censorship, because no user who needs help with xyz gps issue is going to go through the trouble of trying to fill out a Dev rank request forum when they suddenly realize they are posting in the wrong forum, and will move to the correct one.

It won't even be difficult to implement, just look through the dev forums and start granting people who are already android/WinMo developers the Developer usergroup. It's not even like they need extra permissions, the only extra permission they'd have is being able to post in their Development and Hacking forum.

Love XDA, Cheers!
[About XDA developers] Agent Zach:
+1 to this idea.

It won't be hard to implement, but it will be a constantly time consuming job for the Administrators to monitor the boards to appoint certain users to such a 'Rank'.

Along with this idea... why not a 'Community Assistance' rank for those who don't necessarily develop, but rather help users with issues they may have: answering questions, providing tutorials for help, sharing resources, etc..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giannisgx89:
Hi guys!

Last night I installed version froyo I897CJI6 all well but ...

Once I got regular menu which had few programs with the name AT & T,

What was somewhat slower than the previous version (Original).

When I entered the settings to see if there is something new and pressed the touch button with the arrow back and instead of carrying just before Settings

It showed the main screen and it did this every time.

The middle button is not functional at all (home button).

With so many problems I decided to go back to my old version which worked flawlessly.

And here comes the big problem. When you open the phone and connect the USB cable, the phone turns off and the screen goes black (it's like a shutdown)

but when I take out the cable phone opens again from scratch with no Samsung boot screen, but AT & T Phone World.

Obviously I tried to go into recovery and download mode with combinations vol UP DOWN HOME BUTTON POWER BUTTON but nothing.

And worst of all is that when I try to charge it, the charger does exactly the same thing.

I got galaxy s i9000.

Thank you for your time :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dado.zh:
@gianni, yohann is right!

I had the same problem and today I managed to solve it (had to buy a separate battery charger though).

You can still enter in the download mode by entering the "adb reboot download" command *just after* you plug in the usb cable in the phone. You have to do it before it turns itself off ( you have 1-2 seconds before).

This is how I did it:

-had to charge the battery externally because usb didn't work

-with full battery turned the phone on and let it boot completely

-on pc, prepare the command prompt with the "adb ..." command

-connected usb to phone

-just after first windows "usb peripheral connection" sound executed the "adb .." command

-phone enters download mode and you can flash again

Good luck!

I'm hoping something happens soon or im throwing the thing in the sea. Also the at and t firmware, bad bad baseband, loads of loud squealy static unable to hear callers.

I've got two issues with Wifi on my X10 mini pro:

1) Wifi gets turned off when the screen turns off, regardless of the sleep preferences in the advanced wireless settings.

Ive set up my apps2ext and most of my apps are in the ext partition but I have found that not all apps are in there...some are stored in sd and some in phone...why is that? I have still around 0.5gb left in the ext partition...

can anyone shed some light into this? thanks in advance
[Nexus One General] djmcnz:
Android sees and reports apps on your sd-ext partition (apps2ext) as internal.

App developers can force apps to install on SD (sd-fat).

If you install an app that is forced to SD then it will install on "external" (sd-fat) and be reported as such.

You can prevent this behaviour, and I recommend doing this, by forcing apps to internal storage (despite what the developer builds into the app) - you may need a custom rom for this(?). They will always be installed on sd-ext then.
[Nexus One General] nazrin313:
Thanks for the quick reply. And Yeap I know but I have also seen at some instance that the apps are stored in the phone memory

Im using Enom's latest if thats any help
[Nexus One General] djmcnz:
Perfect:

adb shell pm setInstallLocation 1

Will set future installs to "internal" (sd-ext).

You'll need to manually move the ones already on sd-fat back to "internal" using Manage Applications... then fixed... :)

EDIT: Oh! I see "phone memory" - sorry. They will not be in /data/app/ they will be in /data/app-private/ which is NOT moved to sd-ext...

EDIT...just saw your edit...what do you mean?
[Nexus One General] djmcnz:
19MB suggests apps2ext is not working... it should never really go below ~60MB with apps2ext (I have 203 apps and ~70MB free).

The edit means that some secure apps are installed to a location that apps2ext does NOT move... although there are very few of these, nothing to account for ~19MB.

What apps2ext does your rom use? DarkTremor? If so that has built in diagnostics... otherwise, if you do this:

Terminal:
ls -l /data/

ADB:
adb shell ls -l /data/

What do you get back?
[Nexus One General] nazrin313:
Im sure its working as I have most of my apps (some 170+) are in ext3sd..and the rest either in phone or fat sd...

its says anr,app, app-private,backup, d_app_store, dalvik-cache, data, dontpanic, local, lost+found, misc, property, systems, tombstones...

dats it...
[Nexus One General] djmcnz:
should say something like

/data/app -> /system/sd/app

To reflect the symlink.
[Nexus One General] nazrin313:
Hmmmm...interesting, I guess Enom's rom doesnt use darktremor's script...what do you suggest? I guess it would hurt putting the script over the ROM?
