[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] sunnyd24:
Help offer or even beta testing.......

Well done D-Two!

I can help with anything to get this moving along! If you make a Things to do list on the first post with a little more info, I can try working on it!

This is a perfect opportunity to learn some nifty Android skills.

Thanks again.

where I can locate the 2.6.36 kernel for BA?

Hi all,

And thanks, d-two, for trying to put Android on BA.

Some time ago, I was playing with Linux on BA, mainly using Angstrom distribution.

May be others could help in this port. I could help in low level drivers or testing something.

I tried to find the latest kernel for BA with no success.

Where it is?

Are you playing with the HTC Universal kernel?

Do you need volunteers on some aspect?

Regards,

Àngel
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] egzthunder1:
First of, congratulations on the release. I am charging my BA right now and will take it for a spin in a few hours...

Just out of curiosity, are you sure that the tutorials were uploaded? I keep on checking the OP and there are no attachments in there. PXAdroid does not seem to have them either.

Thanks for all the efforts. Get ready to see your name on the Portal :p
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] d-two:
Yes, i think i have it uploaded :p
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] egzthunder1:
nvm, I am an idiot... I just found it.. :p (hadn't seen the tabs :p)

Thanks anyways :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] easytiger:
congratulations d-two, it's working :)

it's running very smoothing, however i couldn't start the wi-fi
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] d-two:
Yes, i know the Wifi/Sound and some other stuff is not working yet but this is only a preview version... Really smooth is the CM mod but the notify bar is not working at the moment!!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] pablo67:
Hello d-two compliments for everything you have done and will do later

is from a few days I use linux

I have a problem with extracting the tar file I get this error:

paolo @ paolo-desktop: ~ $ sudo tar xvjf / Home/paolo/Scaricati/gingerbread.tar.bz2-C / media / Android

[sudo] password for paolo:

tar (child): / Home/paolo/Scaricati/gingerbread.tar.bz2: function "open" failed: File or directory does not exist

tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now

tar: Child returned status 2

tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

where is that wrong?

thanks a lot

edit Scaricati = Downloads
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] d-two:
you have not the right paht to the tar.bz2 file :confused: linux is case-sensetiv!!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] easytiger:
how can i "wake up" the phone after he turns off the screen? i tried all keys :S
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] d-two:
after turn off the screen, nothing can wake up the device :D sorry for that

when the screen lock press "power button" and unlock screen
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] pablo67:
thanks d-two

Tomorrow I will ask a friend of mine who works with linux and then I'll

know

(since I broke the phone's sd card reader, tomorrow I'll try to fix it)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] egzthunder1:
It could be that you have an extra space in your path...

this

/ Home/paolo/Scaricati/gingerbread.tar.bz2-C / media / Android

should be

/Home/paolo/Scaricati/gingerbread.tar.bz2 -C /media/Android

Notice the spaces after the slashes.... hope this helps.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Actually, what you are getting (and I am as well) is a kernel panic....I will try again.

Edit: Nope... even reformatted the card, started from scratch, but I am still getting the same error

"No File System Could Mount Root: tried EXt2 Ext3 Ext4 wfat

Kernel Panic - No Syncing VPS: Unable to mount Root FS on unknown block (179.2)

Rebooting in 5 seconds"

and it stays there. Any clue?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] zaiklop:
so, if i understand right, if i don't have linux i can't do anything with this?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] gbl08ma:
I used ext4 for the second partition and it works fine on my BA. I can get to the desktop and run apps.

And as expected: Wifi says "Error", no cell phone network, no Bluetooth, no camera, no sound. Still impressive :)

The touchscreen works but I feel it can be improved.

My BA is an European one.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] egzthunder1:
I think that based on what you are saying I just figured out what the problem is. There are a few BA variants and I have a feeling that the kernel may be made for just the European version of it. the other thing that I am thinking about is that maybe, just maybe, the order in which the partitions are created matters.... (which one is p1 and which one is p2)....
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] ares93:
Well, I'll be damned. I gotta admit that I didn't think you'd actually do it. Seems you proved me wrong. Cracking job, mate.

Can't wait until its actually usable.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] gbl08ma:
egzthunder1, the partition order definitely matters. startup.txt expects to have the Linux filesystem on mmcblk0p2, that means the ext4 partition must be the second one.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] egzthunder1:
I kinda figured that much and I have repeated the partitioning process twice already, making sure that I am following the right order. My ext4 partition is on /dev/sdb2, while FAT is on /dev/sdb1.

I am gonna try it one more time, starting from scratch this time around.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Ok, changed cards and that error has gone away, BUT I am now getting something else. It says that it cannot execute init...

"Failed to execute init. Attempting defaults...

Kernel Panic - not syncing. No init found. Try passing init = option to kernel....

Not sure what else to do tbh.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] B-44:
As it seems, yes.Can't wait to meet my Linux Support.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] ares93:
just download an ubuntu live cd off the web and boot from it. My linux machine suffered a hdd failure recently and i had to do the same.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] d-two:
It has nothing to do with the diffrent Blueangels i have both version the one is with Board 5 (without camera) the black blueangel the second with Board 6 (with camera) the silver blueangel. The only diffrence is the LCD Display (Sony/Toppoly) and other GPIOs for power on/off...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] d-two:
look under the files on sourceforge i have create a little tutorial for this...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] d-two:
then you have some thing wrong for extract the files... ;)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] egzthunder1:
I am going to try to format the card once again and redo the extraction of the files... I have one last suspicion on what could be causing this...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] ares93:
D-Two: What kind of card are you using? Since this runs off the sd, the speed is quite important. I'm getting godawful lag. But then again, this SD card has been to hell and back a few times.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] egzthunder1:
YES!!! Finally!!!!!!

The problem was that I was not securely unmounting the device from Linux and as such, data was not being written properly!!!

Thanks d-two....

btw, check your status... I think you deserve this :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] d-two:
Nice :D
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] egzthunder1:
It has been sitting in the bootscreen for about 10 min now... I take it that this is normal, right?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] d-two:
You mean the bootanimation? Normal boottime is max. 5 min
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] egzthunder1:

For everyone (like me) windows don't install drivers for virtual box's usb, try directly with the live of ubuntu in your machine, was my way :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] d-two:
Which blueangel have you?

Edit: I think he was finish and go to suspend :D
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] egzthunder1:
I have the SX66 (Cingular US version). After a couple of reboots, it finally finished loading... I have to admit it is kinda slow, but I would not expect it otherwise. Having this sucker running is a feat on its own accord. I guess my next step will be to see if I can get a faster SD card as I am sure that this should have a big impact on performance.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] ares93:
Any chance you could de-handicap the next build? I mean, i like bare builds, and I get it. But add a file manager at least.

Since you cant push apk's into the system, its practically useless. Booting android is a great achievement, don't get me wrong. But without even the basics, you can't even test it fully.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] d-two:
I have say this is only for preview... but i work on it...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] egzthunder1:
nvm...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] ares93:
Yes, I understand that. But if we have basic system that is, at least partially, usable, we can supply bug reports, logcat dumps, etc.

Even if we don't have wifi/data, we can dump apk's from another phone to use on the BA.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] d-two:
Yeah, right, but I'm no magican ;-) I promised to upload my progress and so I did - actually I don't need any bug report yet, cause I know very exactly what's not working. So, thank you, but no thank you - for the moment - just be a little more patient!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] ares93:
Alright, mate. I can do that. :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Completely out of curiosity, but is USB Debugging working?

If it does, you (ares, that is) could potentially use adb to push the apk... just a random thought.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] ares93:
As far as I'm aware, it does not. In fact, I'm not getting anything at all. It doesn't seem like its getting any power either. Although that's because it doesn't recognize the battery.

I also attempted to push the apk via the built in terminal emulator. But whether it doesn't work because were lacking root, or because its not possible at all, I don't know. This is the first time i actually tried that.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] notime2d8:
You should be able to place the apk's on your memory card fat partition and install them from there with a file manager.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Lol...he wants to install a file manager :p
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] d-two:
he can put the apk direct in the System/app directory on the ext partiontion :D

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] ares93:
I've already tried that. It should work, but it doesn't...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] notime2d8:
hmm....maybe because it's deodexed. :confused:
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Nicsima@gmail.com:
This is really awesome. I found my old BA and a 1GB micro Sd with adapter and I managed to get it running, but only when formatting and doing everything via Ubuntu. I really look forward to more updates on this :-). Great Work d-two, keep it coming.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] B-44:
Nevertheless there must be some other difference- if i e.g. try to install HTC Addicts' Clean Ram on BAs with your 6.5.5 Multilang & Radio1.15, it usually works on SX66/cingular & Vodafone VPA3, but until now never on T-mobile MDA3...

BTW: Great job- you made me enter the linux community, just downloaded ubuntu live cd and can't wait 'til tomorrow, when I'll have time to prepare my SD card.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] pablo67:

d-two you are fantastic. The BA is round about 6 years old and still alive. I loved this device with your WM6.5 Build 21888 and the BA was a long time my personal companion bevor i bought an HD2. Your WM kitchen was perfect and i liked to use it. I still can`t belief that you develop an android gingerbread for this device. i think you like the BA so much, like me, that you never let it die. Today i use my BA only at home as an wireless MP3 Player, with your WM6.5 Build. And do you know what? It functions still as stable as on the first day.

Has anyone been able to successfully start it besides d-two?

Yes, you need to make sure that SD is dismounted properly. Linux doesn't write data on the fly, it writes data when you dismount :).

After approx. 1min the amazing boot-animation starts, less than 2min and you get the desktop with a 60x SDcard. I used gparted live-linux cd to build the partitions and a knoppix live cd to untar aond copy the file.

It worked at second attempt, because I forgot to change the status of the second partition to be 'writable' !!! At the end don't forget to unmount both partitions first. Then take out the SD out of the card reader, or shut down knoppix (linux).

Even for windows born linux newbies, it's possible after using a little bit of brainpower!!!
