NAND Testing - 05-25 Update: New LK, Recovery.img, Kernel Updates through Recovery

[[ACL]]

after days of arguing, finally the next official version of the ril will be nand friendly. So this is good news for all of us.

I ran into an issue yest testing gsm changes. I commented out the init_mmc on the board file since thats the last part we see before it reboots with the sim inside. Unfortunately this also kills sdcard which makes it impossible to install android. lol.

Glad to hear the RIL will be more friendly from here on out. For the GSM stuff, does that mean we are incorrectly addressing the SIM card as a mmc slot? I kind of figured that was what it was doing since it would reboot every time it tried to mount the sdcard on a GSM device. Any idea why it doesn't do this on Haret?

No, that is hyc's personal clone. He does work on there for testing, then assuming the test code works well, it gets committed to the official XDAndroid git which is located here: hardware_xdandroid-ril in XDAndroid - Gitorious

actually it looks like hycs branch will be the one actively developed until it moves to xdandroid. i'm going to clone it since we need to make some changes first and so does stine on xdandroid itself so we can have the holy union.. so it will be a while before its done but it will get done.

Got an email from alex, looks like he has lk ready for testing for the rhod .. not sure if ill get to it tonight but definitely tomorrow.

Good to know. I thought he would just be providing patches. As for LK, I know that will add fastboot as well as being more native, but what else does it give us? Will it have the ability to apply recovery.img or system.img so it would be asier on chefs?

I sent u an email.

I pushed the script for tinboot to make the LK nbh. It boots but it needs some work. Fast boot isn't working yet so we will prob have to cheat and add the recovery the way we do now. Just piggy back the bitch and get it to boot :-p ..

Hi guys, android run on my rhod100_it, i downloaded this files: Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites! and i put in the androidupdate.tgz the build.prop mod from gsm test of mcmutty, and now i see on the screen of my rod the animation of xdaandroid. i post to you the build.prop which i used. But with sim card the rhod looped!

Ok - I finally bit the bullet last night, and switch from Haret to NAND. I like the speed impovements, especially on boot I have noticed a few things, and I will list them out below... I was previously running the FRX06, and ran FRX05 (both haret) over the past week or so. I now consider my phone a fulltime android phone at this point, having totally abandoned Winmo... I figure why not, seems like I have less lockup/reboot issues on droid!

So, as of last nights build files (@11pm eastern time) I see the following

1. Link in post #1 for the recovery.tgz file is dead. Link points to recoveryinstall.tgz (I think) and the file is actually recovery.tgz
2. As noted in a previous post - data wont work on the first boot
3. I have noticed that data randomly drops out. Usually requiring a reboot or 4...
4. Sometimes the 3G emblem changes to just G - not really sure what THAT means, but it seems that when it happens, no data works.
5. WEP is not working (not sure if it was this thread or something else where I saw WEP now worked... so I am noting it in case)
6. Also noted I believe - I had at least one instance where I tried to power down, it claimed it was, and never fully shut off.
7. Sometimes on boot, the radio doesnt seem to register - my 'banner' says android, instead of VZW
8. It never seems to fully to sleep. Orange light stays on more often than not (yes GPS if off), and when I do see the green light, the orange blinks in every 3 seconds or so. I did not have this issue with Haret
9. Waking the phone from sleep seems to take more 'finesse' than Haret. Usually with haret, I could get it with one button press. NAND seems to take me on average about 4 before I can get the screen on (random buttons)

So... all that said! I would say so far, that the Haret builds seem slightly more stable - in respect to radio/data. The rest of NAND seems MUCH more stable than Haret so far. Haret was giving me constant random GUI reboots (where it would just pop up the xandroid logo with the little droids circling)

I would like to help as much as possible - I can only help in the testing part (and as said in like post 8 or so... 2 testers are worth more than 1 programmer). Let me know what data you need, and how I would go about collecting it for you....
