note: running/trying android(/linux) does not require you to flash or hard-reset your device. feel free to experiment!!
update: martin/dzo has now written a keyboard!
note: the only way to exit android is to soft reset the device.
update: voice calls now working! and better kb
update: sms send/receive now working!
update: internet working better now, and backlight can now be turned off
update:
update: android 1.0 up! still need a better keyboard, but is pretty well fully functional! sms, data, calls, etc...all working! go dzo/martin!
update: ANDROID OPEN SOURCED TODAY!! new apk's (installable package files) are up and ready for installation! dzo said to be ready with the newly compiled system.img tomorrow! (/today, its real early/late :S) THIS IS IT!!
also, someone has finally stepped up to write a soft kb and is working on it! says that he's not much with graphics though, and needs some help!
update: were to full complete android 1.0!!! with a bunch of working apk's and everything...its been an awesome ride so far and we hope to see a lot more come from it. getting the marketplace online and a lot of custom apps is really what is going to get this thing going. unfortunately we are again at a stalemate for a good sip
.
also currently lacking is good sdhc support, as well as a lot of other things lol such as good bt drivers, and gps as well as data with some providers (like sprint
...dang)
update: dzo now has full power collaps working greatly, as well as dial tones in the dialer app. a new dialer skin has also been created to better fit our screen so that it is not so cramped, tho this has yet to be implemented at this stage.
update: now full SD(HC) card support! YESS...and some other minor minor minor improvements (touchscreen, possibly radio functions etc..not really anything though).
How to install and run Android on the Vogue (before you do any of this, BE SURE TO BE UPDATED TO THE LATEST RADIO!! at least 3.42.30):
1. Clear/delete all previous instances/installations of Android.
2. Delete/move any files named either system or data on your card.
3. Download the latest zip package from dzo's site (here:
http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/)
4. Unzip package to a folder on your card named Android.
5. Copy and paste both the files data and system to the root of your card.
6. Create a folder named Android in the root
of your device.
7. Copy and paste all other files from the folder named Android on your card to the folder named Android on your device.
8. Turn off GPS.
9. (If you want data to work, start up a data connection before this by starting PIE or something) Navigate to the folder called Android in the root of your device.
10. Run haret.exe.
11. Click the little "run" button and wait.
Option B for this would be to simply head over to the
great site that etiger13 has set up, and download and install his cab and follow the instructions there! Super easy
thx etiger.
Troubleshooting:
If you are having problems:
- Simply try to start all over again (be sure not to have more than one file named system (no matter the extension) and not more than one file named data (no matter the extension) on your card) by clearing/deleting any and all files from any and all previous instances/installations of Android anywhere on your card or on the device.
- Try a different (and preferably smaller card, sometimes Android struggles with larger (sdhc) cards.
- Try soft-resetting.
- Try etiger13's easy cab setup, this can be a very trouble-free way of getting things moving (though you should still be sure to delete everything android previous to trying this just in case).
- Be sure that when you try to boot, your gps is completely inactive.
To load your own apps/.apk package files:
1. Download a package file (there are some
here) and when saving it, be sure the extension is .apk.
2. Creat a folder on your card named "AndroidApps" (yes it must be exactly like that but w/o the quotes).
3. Place any apk files you want in that folder, sometimes calendar provider and one or two other ones are causing it not to boot. So try more out gradually as you go.
4. Just go ahead and start up Android now, that will do it. It will install them by itself on boot.
Have fun!
