Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

For those using a microSDHC card like I am, I found a way to get an otherwise incompatible card to work (at least for me).

Put these files on the root of your device memory: default.txt / haret.exe / initrd.gz / zImage
Put these files in the root of your card: data.gz / system.img

Works perfectly for me.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

I can't get Android to boot w/ my 2GB non-HC SD card. First I unzipped all the files to the root of the card, tried booting, got the "cannot mount SD card" errors. I reformatted the card and tried again.. same thing. I then tried CrashCore's suggestion to move certain files to device room and certain to SD root.. still nothing.

Then i tried unzipping the initrd.gz to initrd, and changing default.txt to point to initrd.. still no luck.

I've tried every step I've read in these Android threads, could it just be that it doesn't like my card, and I need to use another? I've never had any issues w/ this card before (flashing roms, radios etc.) until now :-/

While watching the College Bball Championship (Go Heels! Die hard fan here)
I FINALLY got android to boot. I messed with it and then reset the device to load it again. I try to load it, and the power management issue pops up, every...single...time.

NOW, i get to the part where its stuck and sends me to to command prompt:
anyone help or got android to boot every time on the titan? I got it working ONCE, and loved it. Something new for me to play with. Plus the animations are nice, and the simplicity is great. I'm running DCD 3.2.4 i think, somewhere in the 3.2 area w/28 mb of RAM free. Here is my default.txt file:

anyone please help? I like Android and need to occupy myself with something different over spring break....No friend = no invites to beach = no money anyway :(

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

mines boots every time on my titan..mostly works well.. but some programs do crash / lockup i suppose due to low memory available.

- opera works very nice
- market doesn't seem to download app.. but Sam2 works fine

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

See if this one will work for you. I have it on my android.. but i guess it was built in..not sure if it was this app that made it work or not.



Edit... I removed the android utube app. I'm not certain if it is considered warez or not.

Open with winrar or ~

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

is that your entire default.txt?

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

no it has the

set MTYPE 1463
set KERNEL zImage

at the beginning. otherwise that is it.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Man, I still cannot get Android to load on my Titan. I'm running the Titan Reloaded 1.4b2 rom if that makes a diff. I've tried putting the files in every place mentioned and it ALWAYS hangs on the "cannot mount sd card" error. At this point, it's got to be my SD card, even tho it's 2GB non-HC card. Cuz from what I'm seeing, it should just work - or work after a couple of tries - it's NEVER worked for me. Anyone else agree its the card?

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

it definately sounds like its your card.

i have all files on the storage card (inside NO folder). then i shortcut the haret.exe to my device just to keep from having to manuever through file explorer.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

new symptom:
Happens about 4.5 seconds after running Haret.exe

I've unzipped the data.img file. Fixed my first problem. Now this comes up. This is obviously a modem issue because it has this when the problem persists:
I've tried this is NoData Enable and Disabled
Also: No username + No Password
Username but no password
Vice Versa
Disabling Titanium, 23MB of Mem free

EDIT::::GOT IT WORKING!!!!:-D

extracted data.gz to data.img and ran it. runs every time. now looking for ways to answer my calls ...hmmmm

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

It's stable but still unstable...
Anyone working on issues such as:
Button lights constantly on
Unlocking the phone you must slide keyboard and press the ok button
correct button mapping (maybe the power button can be a suspend button?)
Somehow being able to answer a call since the hardware buttons are s#!t

Just a thought, anyone seen any of these fixes, i have the latest files...

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Alright so I re-formatted my sdcard in Linux as fat32 (1 partition) and now i get a bit further. I guess Windows did the whole extended/logical thing Now I am past that sdcard mount error, and get a bit furter however..
my boot hangs EXACTLY where ^thvoicwethin^ does/did. I extracted data.gz to data.img as you did, but I still end up here.

I haven't touched my default.txt aside from entering in the ppp.username + ppp.password, but I've tried w/ them blank as well. Do I need to make any changes to it for a Verizon XV6800? I'm almost there.... any thoughts?! ](*,)

EDIT: Just tried changing
set MTYPE 1667 to set MTYPE 1463 as I've seen in other posts.. It gets two more lines down and then BAM.. reboot! Back to 1667 and still freezes. Anyone?

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

when you say two more lines....can you tell me what they say?

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

It's hard to read on the screen but trying to make it out...
[ 4.472890] warning: 'rild' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use)

[ 6.262434] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 675f676f
[ 6.269335] pgd = c558c000

I should note that I am using the latest android-1.1-04-05-09 from http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/ but I have tried most of the other versions too.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

find a new zimage. get it from the website you stated in your post

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Alright further and further I go.. I figured out that I hadn't gone back to try Magister's version since the SDcard trickery.. I wiped the card, uploaded Magister's version titan-full-23.03.2009, and fired it up. It got further, and the a BUNCH of IO errors.. but I let it sit and it got to the "flashing Android guy" screen, then booted up and now I'm IN!!! So is Magister's version the ONLY confirmed working version on the Titan? I know the other site http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/ has a bunch of version (the ones I was trying), but could never get 'em to boot. Are they Vogue-only?

Outgoing calls worked fine, haven't tested incoming yet. Every time I go to "Messaging" I get this error:

"Sorry! The application "Messaging (process com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. "

I notice that this version is really old (1.0), cupcake 1.5 is out recently, but 1.1 has been out for a awhile now too. Are there any newer versions that work on the Titan?

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Replace w/ new zImage from the site dated May 4 2009. The messaging error is now GONE! Can I replace the initrd /data.img to get to a newer version? Android-1.1 from the other site ust freezes on me :-/

Thanks to everyone for all the hard work. I've played around a bit and think I want my next phone to be an Android phone. I had already been playing w/ the Emulator on my Linux box and Android has so much potential. Hopefully we'll get some newer versions on the Titan to play with until its time to upgrade.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Please, don't forget to thank those who have helped. Not being mean or anything, but we give you these solutions because we're trying to resolve your problems and fix them.

Yes, you can get the newer version. I have 1.1 loaded now on my mogul now, no problems whatsoever, except for the ones i listed a few posts above

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Sorry man, you were included in that thank you but... thank specifically for all of your help as well, i appreciate it!

How can i get 1.1 loaded? The only version that's booted for me so far is the 1.0.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Because I see that you only have 11 posts, I'll give you a hint...Theirs a thanks button to your bottom right of every post, it gives the person who helped you more reputation as a helper to someone who needed something.

I can upload my 1.1 for you that works on my Mogul, I'll give you everything you need to get it going...

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Ahhh.. yea I'm a bit new here, I'll keep that in mind from now on.

Thanks, I appreciate you uploading!

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Here is my WORKING Android 1.1 for the Titan/Mogul.
Android-Mogul.rar
PM me for the password, and remember to click thanks after downloading, I keep close tabs on the download to thanks ratio.

Simply put everything BUT data.img and system.img on your my docs folder on your ppc. The other two files should stay on your mem card. Run haret.exe and click RUN, make sure your internet connection is active BEFORE running haret to insure you get internet while using Android. ( I don't use internet on Android so I don't know how to fix the internet thing if your having problems)

I am using the Android 1.1 version from this website: http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/

No credit goes to me for the making of this software to be able to load Android on your ppc. I am simply posting a working Android Rar so that you don't have problems loading it.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Downloading now.. Thanks! =D>

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Lovin' it, everything works well so far. Of course I don't expect performance to be great, but it's actually pretty decent. If the battery life was a bit better, I'd prolly rock it full time!

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

downloading now ------- THANKS!!!! THANKS!!!!!

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Anyone have opera mini 4.2 apk that I can install? I've searched and can't find it ANYWHERE. I found 4.0 but it crashes on the "Installing" screen right after you fire it up. I miss my Opera Mini!

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

I found the 4.2 apk, but it doesn't run. I tap it, it starts to draw the windows, and then just bombs out. Do I have to delete a directory or something to get rid of the old versions, and if so.. where? TIA

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Hint: You can also edit posts when the subject is the same....it's also on the lower right of your post. ;-)

Will search for Opera

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

so the actual android apps will work on this? im gonna start collecting the ones i can find while i wait for an answer.

so not having any idea how to make them work, how do i install them?

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

make a folder on your SD cards called "AndroidApps" exactly as i have put it, without the quotations of course...put your apks in there and boot up.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

I found the Opera 4.2 apk file. I loaded it and it didn't work but I had already loaded Opera 4.0 so I think there were some leftovers. I deleted my data.img and started fresh. Opera 4.2 worked straight off and it's fast as hell. Synced my bookmarks and am good to go. I'm about to delve in to the kernel and file system layout and really try and figure Android out. I have a decent ROM on my phone, but I really want Android full time. Verizon needs to get their act together.

I've gotten a bunch of apps to work so far. I booted the Titan back to WinMo, and created a new folder in the root of the SD Card called "AndroidApps" (no space, case-sensitive). I put all of the apps I downloaded (.apk files) in the folder, fired up Android and they were all there in the menu ready to run. No installations, just worked right away.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

So i tried to pm him but he never got back to me i thanked him but ya i still need the pass anyone know what it is? plz

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Check ur PMs.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Anyone have any word on a Cupcake build that works for the Titan?

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

we do have a build for cupcake, but i believe its still in beta dev for us...i'll double check.

BTW crave, I'm sorry I did not send you a PM back, i ran over my message box limit, and tried to reply, but i accidentally deleted my entire inbox, and couldn't retrieve your message. their was another person as well, my apologies.

ATTENTION ALL: Android dev for me is currently on hold due to a broken digitizer. Had another one expedited to me, should be back Wednesday.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

tried cupcake for the titan yesterday...only got to the android screen. I'm going to look further into it, and once i can find the right files to get it to work everytime you boot up, i will post.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Been a little while since a post? Any news on Cupcake or any recent developments?

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

due to my cracked digitizer ATM, i an unable to continue dev for it. I will do some more research.
