Feel free to flash away. The links are all in the first post. Be sure to grab the recoveryinstall.tgz as well as everything else. It should all just work out of the box

Sadly, there is something in the kernel that is causing this issue. It reboots when you put a SIM card in. I tried creating an NBH for you without the force_cdma, but it didn't matter on mine because with the SIM card in, it just reboots.

For debugging, you should be able to pull information using ADB, and we should make a dmesg output at the end of init for testing stuff like this. I'll add it into init tomorrow and post a test NBH for you so you can at least get a log from it.

Also, we need to add some parameters to sdcard mount command:

Code:

mount -t vfat -o fmask=0000,dmask=0000,rw,flush,noatime,nodiratime,utf8 /dev/block/$partition /sdcard

to

Code:

mount -t vfat -o fmask=0000,dmask=0000,rw,flush,noatime,nodiratime,utf8,shortname=winnt /dev/block/$partition /sdcard

because of without "shortname=winnt" we will have some directories will created as all upper case such as:

Code:

/sdcard/Android/DATA
/sdcard/Android/CACHE
....

I don't test this yet, but I see some of theme created in all upper case and this was happen on my Linux a long time ago, then this is suggestion to avoid that annoy things.

I will re-compile initrd.gz, test and will report later.

Thanks natemcnutty, I'll try this by myself and will post dmesg/logcat.

Already started nate works very smooth. Havent had a chance to try out the recovery. Hey two quick questions so does the phone actually sleep because the led just stay orange and is there any way to have the changes f22 made where the end button is home and power is power? Thanks again for all you work and I will give adb logs if I run into anything

I made the commit to remove replimenu. I did a tiny bit of cleanup while I was at it. I have a couple of other ideas to clean it up further, but I need to test them out first.

I saw the commits. Looked good to me. Im still stuck with this batt thing. I can recognise when we boot because of the charge but i dont know what to do about it yet. Winmo seems to just monitor the battery startus until its fully charged. It sets the phone to 192mhz and waits like a good boy. If the pwr button is pressed then it will reboot. I dont know if i can replicate all that. I might just send the phone to limbo for now not sure. I'm hoping a9 has some protection so we dont fry the battery incase it does end up going to limbo.

The good change i made was to increase the boot time. Normally we wait 6 seconds but now we detect when its time. So depending on you boot, it can be 1 second to 6 seconds.

Seems to poop out after enabling sdcard. So somewhere in there we have an issue. Most of these killer crashes are due to a9 death. Try to put in the sim once ur in android. monitor dmesg (not logcat) while you do it and see if you find anything

Overall there is a fundamental flaw about how we detect sim cards. I'm going to remove the force.cdma option on the next kernel commit. By default all cdma devices will fall back to cdma and gsm to gsm. If you want to change it for world phone mode (example a 500 using gsm), then we will need to do this in android itself and not the kernel. Most likely i will have to add this option in the recovery so when you do boot into android you can use gsm in a 500.

Xdandroid doesnt have the ui for us to select the world mode, so this is our hack for now. Maybe cyanogen has it? if so then we can work with neopeek to bring that feature over to xdandroid.

most of the hacked up cmd params that haret uses im slowly killing one by one. slaughtering em like animals !!!

:-p

that would be good news for us world users

tiger2wander · #**1908** (**permalink**) 03-20-2011, 08:41 AM

I was think about what sh**t thing caused it reboot if SIM is inserted and also guest it has problem with SIM card detection from kernel module (likely auto insmod to work with SIM). btw it is in userland problem.

I'm usually use Add Activities as shortcut from "Launcher Pro", lookup the Setting section and then "Testing", with that shortcut I can select what type of radio to use: GSM, UTMS. WCDMA...

I also see the option in Wireless -> Mobile settings to select network type in Motorolla Droid 2 Global.

The panel wake up issue is still a pain in the arse for long term use. There are times it just refuses to wake up. I'm not sure if this is a SOD or not. Sometimes I will get a single vibrate, like it's going to wake, but it does not. Just sharing.

try this. Put your device on airplane more and use it just to test. Does it still happen as often ?
