Oh i loved the theme! honestly, I am keeping that update in my SD now. You know killed me back then when I tried changing the fonts was the fact that I did it and it would show them black. When I got tired of it, i grabbed the silly thing zipaligned and changed resources. Guess what? when I had my stock theme back, the font was white! it only needed zipaligning. I stayed on stock since then.

GTI's are awesome :) me and one friend modified his volvo s40 too, that is a totally different experience to change the software, lost of fun adjusting mixes. Many hours with a scanner and a laptop in the garage. If I could change that on mine I would, but all I can do is trick the sensors and use different capacitors and resistors :) of course things dont always work like expected.

Haha I'm glad I finally figured out a way to odex without adb too, the windows 7 drivers don't want to find the device when its attached
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] WarByte:
haha, yeah, you finally did use terminal emulator :) I remember I commented to you about using it, you must have missed it. Everybody thinks I am crazy because of the small screen, but honestly I have the same issue with windows 7, even the SD widget takes around 5 mins just to show me the new drive in my computer. Besides the terminal emulator feels just like 127.0.0.1 (home) when it comes to plain linux. Either that or well planned scripts will do by just calling them.

when i open the phone its say helex did not something its just keep pop always
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] WarByte:
Hmmm, strange. Okay so you were using RLS04 and installed the update with the theme and when you started your phone this is what is happening?

If your answer is yes, then restart your phone. If Helix keeps force closing then your /data partition is corrupted and you wont be able to do anything since your main "desktop" is not working.

Do a /data restore (if you made a backup of it), else I don't see any other way but reinstalling.

@All: I can also certify the update with the theme does not cause this as I am using it right now as well. Data partition corruption is something we expect in all Android builds (unless you have a kernel with a NAND fix). Please keep a current /data backup or backup your sms or use whatever variant of a backup solution you prefer and have it handy, be prepared for the unlucky restart :)

thanks for the help sir its working now.. anothere question sir how can i copy my contacts from sim to phone co'z there is no settings in the phone to copy my contact from sim

and any themes to update my phone thanks sor for the help
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] WarByte:
For that you need to open contacts, or go to the contacts tab if you already opened the dialer. Hit menu, select import contacts and select the ones you need. This is using RLS04 though the only different one if I remember correctly was RLS01.

Themes we only got one thanks to Thoughtlesskyle, you can find it in post #1 above all release downloads, there are also a few screen caps at the end of the post.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] yatzee:
at last thanks for the help again i know now how to import my contacts thanks again sir

another question how can i change the directory of installed appliction in my phone into mmc?

phone memory is to small now.. and the bluetooth is not working in my kaiser i use this rom in my phone
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] WarByte:
If I understood correctly you want to move your apps to SD?

If that is what you wanna do you need to partiton your SD card, use three partitions in this order:

FAT32 - SWAP - EXT3

give SWAP and EXT3 at least 512 MB each. Next time you install Android choose the options

/system on NAND

/data on EXT2

When you install all of your apps will be on SD.

Issues: if your card is not fast enough your phone will freeze when you slide the keyboard out.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] yatzee:
how can i do it? im using win7
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] WarByte:
Well, this depends. There are certain things like partitioning that are a little outside the scope of this thread and so I can't give you a step by step guide but...

I've heard of people here using gparted (which is a live CD), so it doesnt matter what you run, it matters if you are willing to put more time in learning how to do it. Put in the disk, make sure your PC boots from CD, then do your thing.

You might also look for an app that works well with Windows as there are options as well. Try researching about what program will work better with the kind of knowledge you have about computers and disk drives. If you ask me, I have a Windows 7 machine but I also have a virtual machine with Linux and a very old laptop also with Linux (terminal only). Depending on what I need (or want) to do, I move on to any of those... I probably over complicate things, my point is you'll need to research a little about partitioning as there are different methods. My only advise is be read all the info, double check what you're doing, unintended accidents happen while partitioning and formatting and would hate to know it happened to you.

EDIT: Okay, couldn't avoid helping a little more. Here:

gparted

That should clear most doubts you might have about all that fun stuff.

EDIT 2: I just realized I can't avoid helping, I found you another guide :) please dont get the wrong idea about me not willing to help you out, I'm just a little big on the search feature of the forum for things that have already been explained in a more detailed way and have a lot of questions that have been answered that are probably the same you'll come up with. In addition to that I am absolutely sure the more specific threads will be able to provide a far better support than me. This is for windows users:

GPRS Setting

Hello guys,

I'm running this version for 2~3 days & its working perfectly. Just wondering how to setup GPRS for internet access. Could somebody advise???

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] WarByte:
sure man, that is why we're here :) appreciate your feedback.

Okay, to set up your internet connection you need to add an APN with your operator parameters. To do so:

Hit menu -> Settings -> Wireless controls -> Mobile networks -> Access Point Names

Here you should see a blank list. Hit menu again -> New APN, fill in with your operator parameters and hit menu -> Save or just go back. Once you can see this APN in the list that was blank before, touch the little button to make it the default and you're done, when the phone detects the new APN it will automatically show you the connection icon and you're ready for some net surfing.

MP3 Ringtones

Hello Warbyte,

Thanks for the assit on the GPRS its working now.

BTW, anyway to copy MP3 to the audio folder? How?

Thanks!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] WarByte:
You're welcome and glad it is working now.

I am guessing you're talking about the audio folder under system. To put anything here you need to remount the filesystem as read/ write intead of the default read only.

To do so in terminal (as super user):

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system

you might also wanna check before doing this, that your paths are the same, to check your current mount points issue a "cat /proc/mounts" also in terminal and look fot the /system.

Another easier solution is to get root explorer from market, it has a button to remount file systems without messing with terminal. Browse to your directory and click on the RW thingie.

Now if you were talking about normal music, then mine gets detected automatically, I keep mine several levels into the SD card.

Edit: I just checked the title of your post, it is ringtones :) you do need to follow the remount process. Put things under /system/media/audio/ringtones. When you do this, for some odd reason I always need to restart the phone for changes to reflect in the ringtone selection list. I have never put mp3 though only .wav (yeah call me crazy), and .ogg.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] me_guitarist:
Hello Warbyte,

Thanks for yr prompt reply.

I'll prefer to remount the whole rom. But this will delete all the setting & contact as well, am I right? LOL.

Maybe I'll get a file explorer to copy my ringtones to the audio/ringtones folder.

Thanks a lot!!!

EDIT: I found yr rom can read chinese text but how about the chinese text input?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] WarByte:
Hmmm you don't need to delete all your data :) okay, launch market and look for "root explorer" it is a very intuitive explorer, like windows (just a lot simpler) and navigate to /system/media/audio/ringtones, once you are there, at the top there is a little bar that says "RO", if you click on it it will say "RW", that click is all that you need.

Man, I've been playing around with things but none of the text inputs seem to support chinese and I honestly have no idea (yet) of how to include it, I guess even if I found out it would be a major task as I have no device or knowledge or a remote idea of how the language works :) sorry about that, I still hope you can enjoy this build though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] me_guitarist:
I created a media folder on SDcard & copied all my ringtones into it it worked fine but lagging when incoming call.

Its ok,Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] WarByte:
You're welcome. I did experiment the lag on SD but I was using a ridiculously big increasing wave file... thought that was the cause for it... that's why I moved my ringtone to /system.

You're welcome. Hope the lag is sort of acceptable if not then you might wanna move it anyways :) thanks for your feedback.

hi WarByte the rom is good but wi-fi and bluetooth didn t work with me

could you help me please
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] WarByte:
Sure,

since it is a Kaiser thread I'll assume you're using a Kaiser. With the included kernel it should work just fine. Are you using that kernel or are you using a newer kernel? You can check the version in Settings -> About phone. Did you install any additional updates? You shouldn't need them.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] me_guitarist:
Hello Warbyte,

I cant get any phone signal since this morning.

Reboots few times still get nothing.

Any idea?

My kernel : 2.6.25

SPL : 3.29

Radio : 1.65..16.25

would it be help if I update the radio?

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] WarByte:
Hey there. Okay if you're using RLS04, it defaults to a lock on 2G. If you are using any previous version they default to 3G.

Try going into Settings -> Wireless controls -> Mobile networks -> Use only 2G networks.

Check and uncheck that settings, it will move you between 2G and 3G. Sometimes depending on your service one of them might be better than the other. In my case, I got really crappy 3G, connects for a second, then disconnects for a long time, drops many calls... etc.

Has this been happening all along since you started using the build or has it just started. Make sure your service provider is not having any kind of problems either :)

Edit: Radio should be just fine, for Android 1.65 and up are alright in fact, some people recommend 1.65 over newer ones. I got the 1.71 cause it gives me a faster GPS fix in exchange for a little more battery usage.

This only happen after few days since I installed this build.

Any idea why Adobe Reader is missing from the marketplace? Its a free app.

Was there on the Froyo builds, is it something not compatible with Donut?

Just answered my own question, needs 2.1 or above :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] WarByte:
Great :)

For the dialer skin and a lot of other options please check post #1 section "Last notes about the package", in the second paragraph there is a note about the stock launcher and themes, that same link has a lot of dialers, fonts, framework-res (general themes) and much more than you may like.

All of those updates work great with this build as it is deodexed and based on a stock AOSP release. It is done through androidupdate.tar files.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] WarByte:
You are correct. I used Pdf Viewer from Market for a very long time but it is slow, when I needed something more serious for bigger pdf's then I had to go and get repligo reader, it's 8 bucks though, but I never regretted it. I know buying something is not what you might wanna hear though :)

If I can get it stable then I don't mind paying for an app if it gets me what I need......

It's managed to go the night without locking up so here's fingers crossed LOL
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] WarByte:
You mean the build being stable? :) I have ran it and used this as my daily phone for two weeks now without any issue at all. Due to the fact that the kernel I am using is prone to damage my /data partition the only thing I am afraid of is restarts and battery going too low making it shut down as this happens when the phone is powered off, when I run it again there is that chance that /data is corrupted and I have to reinstall again.

The only other factor that could affect stability a little is the use of compcache, this is only enabled as default in RLS04, you can turn it off as explained in post #1. I personally haven't found any of the feared side effects with compcache which are a slow phone after a long time of being used, a feeling of "I have too many apps open". I did experience a little better multitasking but if you don't open too many apps constantly disabling it might give you a snappier OS.

Hope everything goes well and please let me know if there is anything I can help with.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] your_companion:
the build works awesomely well.. kudos to WARBYTE

lately.. having some battery trouble.. can't find out what the exact reason is..

the phone switches off or restarts on its own and before entering the boot screen, the phone goes dead (the keyboard lights up, upon sliding, but screen is blank or not powered).

tried to switch on/off using the side power button.. but nothing works.

i thought it must be a battery problem, so i plugged in the charger and switched the device on.. the screen shows a white screen for a sec and then it goes blank.... try to power it on, but no change .... i take out the charger plug and try to power it on.. device loads up well.. and then i put it to charge..

nothing wrong with the device now.. working perfect.. but this has happened twice already...

any solution or prevention ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] WarByte:
Before I say anything else, appreciate your comments. Thanks.

I had never heard or experienced that issue before, ever since I posted the last RLS04 I've been using it and havent experienced anything like it. The only one thing that happens to me is, Even when showing two little pieces of the battery it suddenly shuts down (after quite a while) and attempts to restart, goes dead at the bootscreen (the flashable one with the radio info), restarts again, around the fourth time the phone is dead. This happens because the kernel I use and I also attach here does not report anything less than 15% battery.

Are you using the same kernel I attached? Have you installed any or a lot of other apps besides the included ones? Have you restarted your phone often or changed any compcache setting? is your phone both /data and /system on NAND? Anything additional or different from the default build?

Very few times if there is a bad install there might be weird behavior, I once experienced my battery stuck at 100% and no matter what I did I never got it fixed. I reinstalled then it was solved. From my experience with RLS02 which produced bad installs frequently, reinstalling may fix some weird issues reported by only a few users.

Please try that and if there is anything else I can help you with don't hesitate to ask.

EDIT: One more thing I have noticed and this is completely kernel dependent. If you have a charger hooked or a usb cable and you use the power off option it shuts down and after the screen goes black and it seems to be off the phone is not really off but restarting and doesn't show you a led or anything, suddenly it turns on and the android boot screen is there. Is some sort of a GUI only reset but very weird. This also happens if your device shuts down as I explained above and before it completely shuts down and restarts you plug in a charger or a usb cable. It shuts down and / or restarts correctly if no charger is attached or using newer kernels in which this no longer happen but they might give you issues with wifi or bluetooth and you might need to hunt some updates to enable them again. In case you go this way since this build has custom scripts for enabling compcache it will be disabled and you will need to enable it by hand if you would like to continue using it and will not be persistent on restarts.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] your_companion:
hey thanks for the quick reply.

this happened yesterday.. i had installed a twitter app and pingchat..

i have used the kernel 2.6.25-01107.. and I chose both data and system on NAND while installing.. i thought keeping both on NAND would make the system reponse faster..

should i be doing anything different ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] WarByte:
No, that's totally fine. This should be a pretty close to default installation and I don't think a twitter app and pingchat (awesome by the way) would make such difference. If it happens again I would recommend a clean reinstall. I always stress a little on keeping backups. As I explained to another user, as a general rule you can expect /data corruption from any Android build, symptoms of this are builds restarting automatically (eclair), your inbox suddenly cleared, your gmail settings forgotten (saw this in froyo), a wizard appears again like a new installation (warm donut) etc. This is supposed to be fixed in newer kernels but I can't use another kernel so I can't comfirm it.

A /System on NAND /Data on EXT2 (while formatting as EXT3 in your SD) will give you a more reliable system because it reduces the chances of /data corruption, the unmount from SD will not be clean as always but the journal in EXT3 will take care of this. Side effects include a little performance hit which is barely noticeable but depending on how fast your SD is, if it is not fast enough when you slide your hardware keyboard the phone will freeze.

If you experience something force closing often and it was running fine before, then it's time for refreshing your backups and reinstalling. A good installation should run just fine, at most you should get the close / wait dialog but force closing is rare in this build if everything else is okay. Even with compcache which is supposed to be a little problematic I haven't experienced any weird behavior.

EDIT: One more thing. Are you overclocking? I never do, I always keep a default speed, if you do I'd advise not going past 450.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] your_companion:
thanks for the reply.. the problems u said with other builds were what prompted me to change to RLS04 of yours..

still haven't figured out using PINGCHAT ..

also.. i'm not overclocking. i'll wait till this problem re-occurs.. and then i'll do clean install with data on SD..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] WarByte:
You're welcome. Good, that was my main purpose to try to eliminate or at least minimize those issues. And you'll figure out pingchat, it is great to communicate except most of my friends are on symbian so no one available to use it.

Sounds great, if you need help I'll be here. When you try the install on SD, after you've setup your wallpaper, settings and everything you usually do go to the installer again and select /Data backup. If you do find the keyboard problem and becomes a real issue (it happened to me) reinstall both on NAND, select restore /Data. Easy way to reinstall without going through the setup each time or wait the long time at the bootscreen. It starts like you had never reinstalled.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l1q1d:
Ext3 isn't compiled in the kernel and also is mounted as ext2 so journaling isn't used at all.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] WarByte:
Oh I see. Thanks for the info. I'll update the text on that. So is there any real benefit on using it as opposed to NAND? Besides the extra space?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] albertorodast2007:
happened the same for me, whe I used a froyo build with haret, I didnt knew a lot of things by that time but now with a little more experience I suggest you a really really important advise, after instalation and prior first use! (for any unodexed release) leave your phone at least 15 minutes (so it can copy all files to the cache), reboot (NOT using the soft reset, power off then on again), and only then start configuring, downloading, adding, removing and messing it all :D then after you got it all running nice and smooth inmediatly create a /data backup (restart, press d-pad on install menu when it promps, select /data backup, quit) If anything goes wrong u'll just have to enter the install menu again and select /data restore
