[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mkriley:
trying to get a working android

would like to get the title distro of this thread running on my mogul

got the ion version running but it is not usable due to bad mapping on the buttons and no wifi. In the second post it refers to another thread, for install directions, that I suspect has been changed since it was referred to. I get the root filesystem not found error on boot up.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] stiltzkin:
Which thread are you referring to? This one with HARET instructions still provides relevant information. This is the zImage I assume he's referring to in that second post; it's the most current one in the 2.6.32 kernel tree.

That said, I have not been able to get this to boot myself. In fact the only version of Android I've been able to boot has been the ancient ION version of Cupcake found here. It seems like there's a problem related to using androidinstall.tars instead of the old rootfs/system.sqsh method, as I get errors along the lines of "cannot access system.img on SD card." Other times I'll get the kernel panics described earlier in this thread. I hate to be a bother, especially in a rather stale thread, but perhaps a kind Titan owner could explain the proper set of files to use here a little more clearly? I've tried endless combinations of zImage/versions of HaRET/SD and SDHC cards, etc. etc. I'm a Vogue owner so I'm used to this kind of process, but it's frustrating to not be able to get anything except 1.5 booted.

On a slightly unrelated note, I'm a little curious as to why WiFi doesn't seem to work on any Android build for the Titan. According to this post it uses a TI WL1251 which apparently has a GPL'd driver and is well-supported in the Android source tree. If that's the case shouldn't it be a simple matter to copy over the relevant drivers into a specialized ROM like this? Maybe not; I'm just curious.

At any rate thanks to everybody involved here for keeping the development community for a phone as old as this alive. The prospect of even running Android on these phones at all never ceases to amaze me.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] LargePrime:
it's not alive.

The mogul cannot do android. Several devs have come around and given hope, but it does not pan out.

I believe there is just too little memory and CPU to make it worth it.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artificial__:
So, here I am, I've been several years a reliable SE customer.

Well, ain't that anymore!

- K550i :

* hardware fabrication fault (phone turned itself off by the smallest shock/hobble)

- x1a:hardware fabrication fault

* motherboard

- x10:hardware fabrication fault

*motherboard

I've seen a lot of people (including myself) spitting their anger on the SE forum, just below the new arc. I've lost my trust, & so do thousands of x10 users.

& I haven't talked about the update-service yet....

Same with samsung/htc? The ones who quit SE (I'm sure I am not the only one who's lost their trust), what's your opinion?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akila87:
It seems Samsung is also like SE. May be HTC is better.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] violentgoomba:
Manufacturers have their pros and cons. As it stands, HTC has the biggest dev support and is the smartest choice if you want to maximize your phone's potential. SE, although a bit like Samsung as far as limited upgradability and bugfix support in the current XPERIA line, to me is not a bad choice. For most people the device works and mostly delivers on the platform's expected performance and features.

I would love nothing more than to get a bug free firmware but product branding seems to be top priority for some of these manufacturers. It's not all bad, but timescape and mediascape to me aren't fleshed out applications and time spent creating them should've been relegated to software/hardware R&D and QC.

Also, the X10 was their first venture into high end Android territory, the roadmap should have taken into consideration what kind of impression they would like to make in the Android community. Looking back it seems like SE cares about their user base because they gave us 2.1 and only a few days ago, dual touch. But as an X10 owner, I don't like hearing news about the x10's EOL because there are still bugs to fix yet. Bugs that should have taken top priority to address but there you go, they still exist. Not to mention an OS upgrade can breathe new life into the device because it's just too early to let it take a back seat in favor of new handsets that are only marginally better than the X10.

A great impression is an investment and will ensure brand loyalty. I think it has a lot to do with SE's business practice and how they are obviously so unprepared for the Android market on their first try. It pains me to see them stumble as they learn the ropes but some things are just not negotiable. Like trying to make customers believe that the x10 is not capable of DT. WTF?

All in all, I think the X10 is a masterpiece of a modern device and I'm proud to own one. I love it for what it does. You can bet that I will monitor SE's progress and their aftermarket support on their new lineup. But the next time I shop for a new handset, my hard earned money will go to a different manufacturer, but I'm not totally writing SE off. Unless SE does something so outrageously unexpected (like a froyo/gingerbread upgrade with all bugs fixed).
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawkysoft:
serious stop whining about se..

they brought u a very nice hardware piece, ok the support for the software sucks but still everything works.... just wait untill our devs gets to better stuff...

what did you think se would give u lifetime support or so? they need to think about their payments also.... if they stick with old stuff that has been sold they will lose money on it... simple aye?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaKidSlim:
well they sold 9 million units of the xperia series including x10 mini/pro and the x8
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawkysoft:
so what is your point? that they had enough money to maintain all their servers, employees, buildings, cars etc. for a month? LOL
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinkster:
Don't believe in loyalty to manufacturers, or network provider. They make their money, I make mine, I wanted an X10 due to its potential, which is finally being realised. I used to swear by Nokia, cos their quality was second to none, but that's not the case any more.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naklar:
SE forget about a phone and hope on to the next project as soon as they release the phone. I am moving over to HTC for my next phone. At least HTC phones have more dev potential.
[Android Software Development] Nerz:
I'm wanting to get into making apps, I'm fairly decent with java, although c# is my primary language. I'm used to the way that visual studio accentuates my newbish programming by making windows forms and event handling for things like buttons so easy. For example, just double click a button to start coding the event handler. I would love to do this with making android apps, but correct me if I'm wrong, you cant really do it that easily with eclipse. It seems like you have to either manually right the code to the forms such as button placement and size. I know there is a web app called appinventor and while it is noob friendly the fact that it doesn't give source code is very annoying. Any help making this transistion would be greatly appreciated as i would love to start making apps

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] veratrize9:
i agree again

I wanted to try out the app and it's really cool what it can do and how it looks but it drained my battery from 100% to 70% in two hours and I wasn't even touching the phone. It was just sitting on my desk.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ianmcquinn:
I've been using the program for quite some time and have not seen a noticeable drop in battery life (had around a day before I installed, still around that much after). Probably depends on what widgets you place on your lockscreen/your usage? I only have mClock and a series of unread count widgets, so little to no extra data usage or monitoring (i.e., battery drainers) than normal...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] convolution:
k I will try it out... and test the battery life of my phone

EDIT:

It does what I want it to do, but I don't know how to turn off the default lockscreen.

Like, the widgetlocker lockscreen is perfect, but everytime i slide a slider, it takes me back to the default one...

And when i reboot the phone, it takes me to the default one...

And also I can't seem to find an option that forces you to input a pin...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] clos2100:
Try goin into advanced in the WL menu n then check root bypass of 5 second rule that might help
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ianmcquinn:
In the settings, under buttons & inputs, if you enable Easy Wake Mode, it'll disable the stock lockscreen (supposed to be the equivalent of using the No Lock app).

Under behavior, select appear on boot. You will also need to either set up the HomeHelper launcher or the root bypass as mentioned before (also be sure retain system keyguard isn't selected under advanced).

As far as using a pattern/pin/password, you will still need to set that up under your normal security settings (so you slide to unlock WidgetLocker first and then see the security input screen). Depending on what type of security and what ROM you use though, you might still see the stock lockscreen first though (basically is you use a non-Sense ROM with pin or password security).

First thing you need to do is reading the WIKI

To use gfree you will need to set up ADB on your computer first. guide:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkid2010:
I would just a) verfiy you have adb setup and working, and then follow that wiki here: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision

Just to verify, you are holding the T-mobile G2? If so you're fine even if you updated to 1.22 (for the tmob g2) ...just do an about phone in settings and scroll down to see what update you're on.

You'll read about possibly needing to do some hex editing to revert to 1.19 (if indeed you updated to 1.22), but steviewevie might correct me but I don't think that is the case any longer with the gfree method.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbrah:
yes i have the 1.22 thanks for correcting me, so after i have adb up and working what are my next steps to root and s-off?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkid2010:
Follow that wiki guide :) Really that's the best advice I can give, first you'll adb push some files to the phone to do a quick temp root. Then, you'll adb push some more files over and do the deed.

edit: right about here once adb is g2g http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbrah:
sorry for the confusion guys im really sorry, i feel like a n00b but yea i have g2 not desire z so i have 1.22 so i can just root, im looking at the guide on the wiki and it says Make sure your phone's sdcard is mounted by your phone and not your computer when following these instructions so basically is saying make sure your sd card is in your phone not in the computer, right?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkid2010:
Right, just make sure you're not turned on to usb disk mode (not enabled) so the phone has use of it and not your pc.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbrah:
how do i do that? :o
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
You should be ok. On the G2 you have to select "USB sharing" to mount the SD card on your PC, so by default your phone should be mounting it.

NO.... these are the options you can run as part of the Gfree command, for example:

su
cd /data/local
chmod 777 gfree
./gfree[COLOR="Red"] -f[/COLOR]
sync

If you ran the -f option it would free everything, meaning it would "Radio S-Off, Sim Unlock and it would SuperCID(CarrierID) your phone.

OR

su
cd /data/local
chmod 777 gfree
./gfree [COLOR="red"]-S[/COLOR]

If you ran the -S option it would only unlock your SIM to use other carrier SIM cards.

1. Put the file on the root of your sdcard and rename it to update.zip.

2. Turn off your phone.

3. Remove the battery.

4. Reinstall the battery.

5. Hold volume down + power until you get to a white screen.

6. Use the volume rocker to highlight FASTBOOT and press power to select.

7. Use the volume rocker highlight RECOVERY and press power to select. If you see an exclamation point instead of the blue menu, you might have to press volume up or down to get into the blue recovery menu.

8. Use the volume rocker to highlight and press power to select APPLY SDCARD UPDATE.ZIP.

9. DON'T TOUCH IT UNTIL IT'S DONE AND REBOOTS ON ITS OWN.

10. You should now be in 2.2.1 with all of your data preserved.

Method 2 - pd15img.zip

This procedure will completely erase ALL of your data but it is guaranteed to work.

Doesn't PD15img kill WiFi?

If you read the How To Root. . . thread carefully you will see that PD15img is only partially 2.2.1 and more has to be added to get a full install of 2.2.1 with working WiFi.

After waiting more than a week for an automatic update after I got my phone, I tried the PD15img thing without reading all of the posts and only too late discovered that my WiFi didn't work and a lot more had to be done to get it back. And it appears that PD15img can't be undone. I had decided to take the phone back for an exchange but. . .

That very night TMo did an automatic update from my incomplete 2.2.1 to real 2.2.1, which fixed the problem.

I didn't get the phone from TMo directly and I never gave them my IMEI. I wonder if the automatic update was just luck or PD15img had something to do with it.
