Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

the latest funambol sync client has a version of the market that i use. it seems to work pretty well. I like it better than any of the free sites. it has a better assortment of apps. you can download the latest apk from the funambol site.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

How in the hells did you install it? I've got Funambol-Client-0.5.apk in /AndroidApps and non-market apps enabled. Nothing.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

i have 1.1 installed. you can download it here https://android-client.forge.funambol.org/ Just go to the documents and files page. you can download it under releases. then just move it to the android app folder just your other apps and you should be set. Hope that helps.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Thanks! It installed no problem! It was pretty awesome having droid handle the download install process. No file manager, heh.

Hey I can't find the market functionality but I guess I've gotta sign up. If this app can transport contacts from WinMo it will be well worth the hassle.

By the way, have you noticed the left-softkey back button serves up the back function for web browsing? Great speed, gotta say.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Well I downloaded it and got it running, but I'm not noticing any market application. Is there something I'm missing?

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

once you have funambol running, hit the menu button, it's under menu.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Hey Baingle

If by 'menu' you mean the white popup bar at the bottom [which, in my case is bound to the Windows key] then I am totally stumped.

Using v0.1.1 I get three options: settings, about, and close.

Again, I haven't signed up to myFunambol [user/pass] as I have no desire for ads.

? :p

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

I've gotta be missing something here. When I hit menu all that shows up is "Settings" "About" and "Close". If i tap settings it gives me Funambol Preferences and Application Info. That's it...

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

that's really odd. under settings i have application info, content list, funambol preferences, and im. the market is under content list.

How do I get internet to work?
I am on metroPCS and using an Alltel PPC-6800.
Thank you

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

I spose the easiest way to figure this out is to figure out where our difference lies. Where did you get the android install from? Also, are you using funambol 0.1 or 0.1.1?

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

what's the latest version for the Titan?

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

i have v0.1.1 installed. but i'm using the vogue version of android....not sure if that could be the difference. it has the market on it already but it has never worked for me. The market under the funambol client actually works. other than that, i'm not sure what the other differences could be.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

The keyboard works fully with the version I am using
Calls and TXT work but I can't seem to get the WAP and MMS to work

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Look, I already answered your question at XDA. Go there, and read.

If I didn't state it plain enough, here it is:

Your default.txt is WRONG. Do not modify the original. I assume you have Magister's March build. Use Togga!.


:protest:

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

I think that's the difference. Is that vogue build Android 1.1? How is speed/ram/stability compared to a Titan build?

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

I'll give the Vogue version a go and see if that makes a difference

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

for me the vogue version has been much more stable and actually faster than the titan build. the only thing is when you open the hardware keyboard, the screen flips upside down. But it's much more snappy than the titan build. But that is just my opinion. You may find the titan version works better for you.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Wow...the Vogue version has Android Market. For some reason the Titan build doesn't have it included. Anyways, the Market works totally fine for me and I can download directly from there. Also, the Content list and IM now show up in funambol. My only problem now is Android not wanting to turn back on when the screen turns off. Vogue build is definitely better.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

MrPenguin, how fatal is the screen turning off and not comng back on?

Can you let me know if the LEDs still blink forever?

Battery life any better?

You guys have me excited with this vogue build, but I use 1.0 for hours at a time so I am hesitant to switch over.

I'll scope out the source trees and figure out how to build / compile. The keyboard issue sounds dead easy to fix, and I know a fair bit of C.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Like I said, the screen will turn off and not come back on when pressing the end button - I actually experienced this with the Titan build, and it seemed to get better over time. The LEDs still blink and everything, but I haven't tried to call the phone when it happened so I don't know what would happen. I'll try that the next time and see what goes on. I should also mention that on occasion it will randomly start working again - very strange.

The battery life isn't any better, but it certainly isn't worse either. I think the only big thing causing it to drain so much faster is the key lights staying on when the screen is off.

As for the keyboard issue, I *really* hope you can fix that. This is a fairly nice build, but as an extremely heavy texter it's kind of annoying to text while the screen is upside-down.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

The arch/arm/mach-msm/ gitweb kernel tree may be a good place to begin.

:drunken:

The issue is just as likely in the android source. If anyone happens to know, do link us up with an htc build tree.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

This happens to me from time to time.

When it happens next try pressing the voice command [home] key instead of the menu key and let me know if it turns on.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Put on a different SD
Went past previous post to and booted!

Thanks, man!

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Well I gave it a try, but it didn't change anything.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

That lock-up doesn't happen on my phone with Android 1.0. I wonder if it's related to the keyboard/landscape issue. The only time my phone has trouble [pressing home wakes up the screen] is when I let the screen turn off in landscape.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

I haven't really noticed a commonality in it yet. I usually don't have the keyboard out (unless I'm texting, IMing, or doing something that requires me to type). When I tried the voice command button I had just put the screen to sleep by pressing the end button. After that, it wouldn't come back on.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

My power button now restars my phone now. ](*,)

It used to volume up

Anyone else?

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Magister2k7 pointed out the one small change needed to make the screen flip correctly in this post on XDA - Developers Forum:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=346

Basically it is just in one line in the android source (not the kernel), but the change requires you to rebuild the whole thing and replace the file in an existing system.img

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

which shouldn't take much time hopefully. I'm still out my ppc6800. No touchscreen, so no actual use for it ATM. I was hoping i could work some more with the Android dev, but i don't have the resources ATM. Is anyone using this on a daily basis? I couldn't because of my hardware keys.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

I've tried to use it on a daily basis, but the screen rotation is kind of a big deal for me. I looked into downloading and building the android source mentioned above and at XDA, but I think it's a bit too far over my head.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

I just thought I'd say that I tried out Android 1.5 for the Kaiser to see if maybe that would help, but it didn't. Not only was it painfully slow, but the screen rotation wasn't set up either.

Is there any way to put Android Market on the Titan build? It seems like that's the big thing missing right now, and it already has the screen rotation properly set up.

EDIT: I suppose the other option would be to see if there's a way to get the 1.5 cupcake to run faster. It has an on-screen keyboard, so the screen rotation wouldn't be *as* big of a deal.

Also, since i sold my mogul i will no longer be working with you guys. I upgraded to a diamond.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Off topic - not sure I'd consider a true upgrade. I love my keyboard and SD card. :-)

But in all seriousness, enjoy your new phone and the extra goodness it has in RAM and screen capabilities (and thin-ness), and we'll miss having your assistance with this!

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

I played around with it for a bit today. I read through all the posts and seems to me this has come a long way in a very short amount of time. This is exciting for us Linux fans


Come to the dark side,......................we have Penguins :headbang:

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Just curious as to where you guys are getting your android from? I have downloaded from a few places. 1 didn't have apps and the other I couldn't get haret to run.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

You can get them from here: http://www.androidonhtc.com/

We've been using the Vogue build, so you might wanna start off with that. Also, 1.1 runs significantly faster than 1.5 and is less prone to locking up. I'm sure you'll want to try both, but it's good to know that ahead of time.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Any chance you can post a link for the Vogue Builds? When I click on the latest builds link for Vogue it says that Topic is not set up yet.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Oh...I'm sorry about that. I linked to where I've been getting the Kaiser builds from (they also work). I checked them to see if any of them had the screen rotation fixed, but I haven't found one yet.

Anyways, here are the correct links:
1.5 is here: http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/downloads/list

1.1 is here: http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/

Fair warning - the screen rotates the wrong way on these when the keyboard is slid out. If 1.5 wasn't so laggy it wouldn't be a big deal (it has a soft keyboard).

To answer one of your earlier questions, I think the reason that the titan build doesn't have Android Market is because it's 1.0, but I'm not 100% sure about that.
