[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idontknow186:
I'm planning a fairly large update in a week or two to get most of this stuff sorted out. I'm hoping to get most of the compatibility issues fixed via this update (initially we might regress on stuff like camera support at the worst case but I'm hoping to eliminate all force closes). My plan is to get rid of most of the reported issues via this update (I might break a few minors things but I'm hoping we get a more usable ROM).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draky50110:
If you want a test for updates, I can test it every time you may want, even before your "final" release ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idontknow186:
I'll probably release an alpha once the basics are working :) (at least radio, wifi and sound). Hint of whats coming attached. Now back to getting the sound working correctly then to worry about other things.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draky50110:
Didn't notice the sound was a problem ;)

And for the screenshot, I don't see the thing :p but maybe GG (2.3.x) ?

froyo beta test

Hello guys !

I'm new on this forum

I've bought this Alcatel OT 980 (azerty keyboard) and I would like to use it as a mobile Wireless Wifi hotspot but it seems that netfilter/iptables package is missing with the kernel (bundled with BouyguesTelecom).

I've installed Froyo on this phone very great job "Idontknow186"

the phone is much faster but crashing a lot, sometimes the wireless wifi settings cash and reboot the phone.

When I tried to hang up after a phone call i've got an error this com.android.

Another problem it's not possible de settings the APN profile to connect with 3G or 2G.

It it possible to have "azerty" as main keyboard with you rom ?

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idontknow186:
I'm working on stability issues via a upgrade to CM based GIngerbread. Also please install update 1, update 2 it fixes the hang up issue and makes wireless slightly more stable. I'll release an alpha of gingerbread this week which should be more stable (I'll include a update.zip for azerty I have the files thanks to Darky). There probably will be minor bugs / missing features but I'm hoping to get the basics (wireless, radio and sound) working and a more stable ROM.

If your technical you can get the same files pushed via adb for this device by extracting the system.yaffs.img made via the back up and grabbing the files in /system/usr/keychar and /system/usr/keylayout [might be a bit off] and pushing them on to the device in the exact same place.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gwadadroid:
In fact I've already installed update 2 :(

I've extract files from system.yaffs.img so should I push the corect file on recovery mode ?

It is possible to compile netfilter/iptables package to make wireless tethering ?

Regards.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idontknow186:
I'll have an alpha update to gingerbread this Saturday with at least the basics so I'll include AZERTY files and see if I can get netfilter / iptables support for tethering in. So probably upgrading to a gingerbread alpha is better option I have to still check if the crashes are fixed but it seems more stable and is less of a hack job. In terms of what might be missing possibly GPS support, bluetooth and camera (GSP I might be able to get working in time or as a minor update, latter I have to investigate still).

Cynogen based tethering isn't supported by the driver so I'll include the kernel stuff for third party apps if I can. Or may be I need the same stuff for it but it should be easy to enable. Status wise for it: Wifi, Data, and Sound are working main thing missing is hardware acceleration but its not too bad currently without it since neither Froyo or Eclair had it enabled :P.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gwadadroid:
Wow you're doing really a fantastic job to make love this OT-980 ;)

GPS doesn't work it keep searching for location but the app get close after a few seconds with no message error.

I'm too excited to test your alfa release with gingerbread on it :)

Regards.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idontknow186:
I just figured out why Alcatel disabled HW acceleration for compositing (the MOVE still has the same stupid bug) it was so their logo appears fine on the boot screen. Other wise the hardware supports it and it works fine. So I'm going just enable it and fix the boot screen it just needs a larger image or else the pitch will screw up (I think, if I can't fix it don't be surprised by a corrupted Alcatel logo for less then a second or two). Only advantage you gain animations use hardware and things which use hardware surfaces actually get them. Oh and the awesome screen off animation works :P. Animations are now silky smooth between windows.

EDIT: That was easy enough to fix. So logo will look fine :D

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Watcher0:
I'm suspecting my phone has some trouble with audio volume control, sometimes my earphones sound very quiet even though it is on max, the phone is on max, and there are times, when less than 50% volume it is easily louder than the traffic noise around me. I first thought it was the earphones, but I don't see how, they don't go unexpectedly silent and back, even if I twist it around...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idontknow186:
Equalizer settings weren't getting applied so I think that's the main cause (I noticed the volume levels seemed off and still are off in gingerbread). I haven't fixed it in gingerbread but I plan on fixing it (in the next gingerbread update). I'm going to upload the update to gingerbread it tomorrow I was busy fixing some sensor stuff today so went off my timeline. Broken in gingerbread still is GPS (should be easy to fix just need time. Sort of works but will be disabled in the build because AGPS isn't working and permissions), Bluetooth, and Camera. I'll see if I can get squeeze a equalizer fix before release it as something to do with a mapping file I just haven't figured out why its not getting applied.

EDIT: I modified libaudio to support the equalization file so hopefully it will help (there's also a DSP manager in cynogenmod which might be useful). There are recording issues in the gingerbread variant which I'll address through another update (Basically recording doesn't work out side of the phone or VOIP applications with a few exceptions :/).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draky50110:
Nice work :)

By the way, what is your base ROM you're using ? Cyanogen (last stable) or another ?

I'm not sure I will update on first release because I use GPS A LOT !

I'm using a traffic enforcement camera application and of course it uses the GPS ;)

By the way, after one our of use, the phone reboots :/ so during my 5 hours weekly driving, it is a pain...

Answer to rooting your Alcatel

Alcatel, earlier owned by Videocon was my first hadset too! :)

There is a simple way to root your Android.

Use superoneclick to root ANY ANDROID in this world!

Go for superoneclick 2.3.3.

Smooth. Would take maximum a minute or two!

HIT THANKS PLEASE!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draky50110:
Thanks.

Also, Universal Android is ok for rooting (permanent) and the latest hack update to Froyo 2.2 is already rooted ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idontknow186:
Its cyanogenmod 7 latest Gingerbread from git (should be much easier to fix since its from source and the entire process is now automated for basic packing for the test versions, still have to make updates by hand since I need to preserve the mac address)

EDIT: Was going to package and upload the update today but ran into a issue last minute so will fix it and upload it tomorrow sorry guys :( (Last minute audio fix broke something which went un-noticed)

Small problem : the zip fromgithub is ,amed with a long name and inside a directory and if I rename just it into update.zip, the recovery can't do the update :(

Will try to uncompress and then change dir name and then recompress.

EDIT : ok in fact I downloaded a ZIP containing the source LOL but where is update.zip then on the github page ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idontknow186:
Updated the original post pasted the wrong link, should have been http://dl.dropbox.com/u/71594697/Gingerbread Alpha 1/update.zip. By the way some one had wireless problems on Froyo, please PM me if you see the same thing in Gingerbread (I think I know whats wrong if you still see problems).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idontknow186:
You may want to avoid the update for now. There is something off with the GPS its taking a while to get a fix :/ (may be its taking time to fetch AGPS data). Since your using it daily probably not a good idea to test it wait for some one else to try it out (the fix time looks suspicious and this morning outside it didn't grab a fix where as yesterday at home it did. If you decide to try it grab the GPS Status and Toolbox app from the market and try forcing it to redownload AGPS data.) Also need to push out an update with the european gps.conf and optionally AZERTY keyboard.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gwadadroid:
I've just install that update and it's very cool on my phone many thanks ;)

Making/receiving a call or hang up is fine no more issue with it.

there are some issues as you've explained, bluetooth doesn't work, and GPS keep searching.

Tethering option is not native , i've try to install some tethering apps but they don't even work it's missing netfilter file like before.

Regards.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idontknow186:
I'm going to push netfilter support in next week (just didn't get around to it yet). GPS is having problems like I suspected going to try stuff out today hopefully get it working and release a small update for it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draky50110:
Ok, feedback time :)

All is ok boss :D

GPS is fine for me and I used it with 3 applications without any problem...

Other problems you know are here (bluetooth not working + AZERTY physical keyboard) but WOW it is much cooler than Froyo update and ADW Launcher + Cyanogen is a great combo :)

No problem at all for upgrade from foyo update 2 + install of gapps.zip

My luck is that, back to 2.1 time, I bought the excellent smartkeyboard pro ;) and it is better than the cyanogen one ;)

Thank you very much in any case, as I don't need any GPS fix :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idontknow186:
So may be the GPS is fine and I'm having a bad day :) (I'll try it again. I'm probably going to upgrade the driver any way because I reverted to an old version in the CM tree which may have bugs). Going to release AZERTY support for physical keyboard today + European GPS config for those that need it (should be two optional updates that can be applied and possibly update 1 with newer GPS drivers since there are fixes in the newer drivers we probably should pick up). After that its focus on bluetooth and tethering to get a beta update (so if you run into any bugs or crashes report them so we can have them fixed in the beta coming next week).

Gingerbread Alpha 1 Rocks!!

i've installed Gingerbread Alpha 1

phone calls are working without a problem, also the brightness issue it's gone! :D

reporting the same bugs: Bluetooth, GPS and Audio Recording. i tested it with google maps and it didn' found my location, it just keep searching

it's really amazing how the phone works with this alpha release of Gingerbread it's more responsive and stabe than froyo and like millon times better than eclair, you are the boss!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idontknow186:
I got the GPS to work later today so its a bug in the driver (or related to something else). I'm going to release an optional update to support AZERTY + an update for European GPS config later today or tomorrow (should improve fix speed in europe its using north american servers so time out of sync due to the latency). Later this week I'll release 'Update 1' for GPS and the Audio recording bugs hopefully get two birds in one stone since those are higher on the priority list.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draky50110:
Oh and maybe not a bug : Froyo update was booting the phone very fast, faster than 2.1 base stock rom from Alcatel.

But in Gingerbread... it is slower than Froyo.

Maybe normal, not very important ;)

Also : when I choose to reboot my phone from hangup button, I can boot to recovery, is it ok ? Or it does not work from this menu ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idontknow186:
Boot time I haven't looked into as long as its reasonable it should be fine. Boot to recovery is a feature of cyanogen it seems to work fine (much easier then the normal combo). Boot to boot loader is for fastboot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draky50110:
Yes, it is reasonable in fact, just a point of view ;)

Thanks for the tip for the reboot, it will be easier yes for updates :)

I was able to finally download the custpack. Looks easy to switch the key layout it was on the custpack so I'll release an update today. For people with other key layout's tell me because the files for different layouts are also there (the current one is American / Canadian so if you don't use $ for currency for example your key layout will need to be switched).

EDIT:

AZERTY Update (install via recovery like normal): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/71594697/AZERTY/update.zip (it includes the European GPS conf so it should improve fix speed)

Gingerbread Update 1

First update for Gingerbread is ready it addresses:

- GPS fix issues (it seems fairly quick need people to test it since it was sort of working for me in the initial release but fix time was a minute or two at times its down to about 30 seconds or less here)

- Audio driver update (All audio bugs should be gone including mute in the phone application). If you notice new audio bugs or crashes while recording tell me (I haven't seen any but I tested with Voice Search etc..).

- Note: GPS fix may location in temporarily unavailable in maps but be patient

It can be downloaded form: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/71594697/GB Update 1/update.zip

Instructions

1) Place update.zip in root of your sdcard (do not rename)

2) Hold power while in Gingerbread

3) Select reboot

4) Select recovery and click ok

5) Once in recovery use left button on keypad to move selections and power to select an entry.

If you get select the wrong menu remove battery and enter recovery again.

6) Select Apply update.zip from the menu

7) Select power off from the menu to shut down. After a couple of seconds remove

the battery, hold power and re-insert the battery to avoid booting into recovery.

maybe that's why the Google Play Store don't let us download that app
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idontknow186:
Thanks for reminding me have to look into why its not supported in the market. I'll try installing and seeing what the crash is about. OpenGL ES 2.0 is supported so it could be just the camera resolution, also I noticed zooming isn't supported in the camera app so the libcamera compiled for the device might be an issue (might have to tweak parameters or do some hacking to make it get along with the original liboemcamera). Going to see if I can get the camera issue fixed and possibly instagram for the next update or else I'll hold it off for the update after that.
