Linux/Android on CDMA Touch Pro -- Now working on Verizon! And with GPS! - Page 134

In my search for programs for wifi tethering with Android I came across this download site:

http://code.google.com/p/android-wif...n=2&q=NexusOne

I downloaded the file on my computer then transferred it to my phone's SD card.

You will need to install Astro File Manager from marketplace to click on and install the file. You will also need to enable unsecure programs to be installed onto Android. You will be prompted to this if you have not already done so when installing the file.

I have been able to install it but when I click on the program to activate tethering it is not able to tether as of yet.

Maybe some testers will have better luck...

hamagc: make sure you're doing everything as root. make sure you're using the right version of squashfs -- I think it won't extract if you're not. You can also try this to build it:

sudo unsquashfs system.sqsh
#make changes
sudo mv ./squashfs-root ./system
sudo genext2fs -d ./system -b 100000 -a system.ext2
mkdir ext2mount
sudo mount -o loop ./system.ext2 ./ext2mount
sudo mksquashfs ./ext2mount newsystem.sqsh

So I've been running Android for a while now and everything that should be working is except Bluetooth - it still won't turn on.

Formated SD, unpacked 3-1-10 XDAndroid, updated startup, updated rootfs, updated kernel and modules (including deleting old modules), boots up fine, logs in fine, wifi, 3g, marketplace, everything great.

Anybody got tips or tricks to get the BT to kick on?

I have a BT GPS form my old Axim 51V days and I would love to checkout Android with GPS.

Thanks in advance.

thanks makk but i'm actually doing this all in windows (prob. why it's screwing up). i don't have access to anything with linux on it these days.

i did find this over at xda:

What's your version of squasfs(tools)? And use the -nolzma switch to make sure you don't use lzma (not supported).

The kernel only supports SquashFS 3.x.
And 4.x is not backwards compatible.

ok i included -all-root and -nolzma when packing.

This is silly, but ... how do you replace the rootfs? I am grabbing the zip file, extracting the rootfs-...img, renaming to rootfs.img and putting into my /android/ folder in place of the XDANDROID rootfs.img. But, this doesn't work ...I've tried with several rootfs-*.zip builds, all do same thing:

Switching to rootfs
Bootfs found
GSM phone found
Checking for partition
e2fsck_check_if_mount: No such file or directory while determining whether /dev/block/loop0 is mounted
...
iosetup: /dev/block0/loop1: No such file or directory
Failed
Failed to find system.img on SD card
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

... long delay ...
task rpcrouter blocked ...

I tried capturing dmesg.txt but it comes up as a binary file when I offload it to my Linux host

ok changed the mms.apk file back and no dice. still stuck at splash screen. looks like it may be because i'm doing it all through windows? but i took a step today. not the leap i was hoping for but a step. if you have any ideas makk, let me know.

do you have the system.sqsh file on the sdcard? that looks like it's where you are getting stuck. corrupt or not there. replace and try try again.

Replaced system.sqsh with file from XDANDROID.01.03.10, no change.

To be clear: I created the /android dir, unpacked XDANDROID.01.03.10 into it, and it runs fine ...except, no CDMA data. So I replace just the rootfs and then this failure.

Should I maybe replace teh rootfs before I have booted and run haret the first time?
