Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Just got it working again with the cab installer. I replace the cab with the same thing. But same problem, it doesnt go out of lock screen even when i press q.

edit: Nevermind, i got it. My keyboard doesnt work very well. My screen doesnt do anything or show anything different while typing until it slides back in... pita

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

if i install android into my mogul, will it format my phone and i wont be able to boot with windows mobile anymore? how does it work?

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Once it is installed and running, soft reset and it will bring you back to windows mobile untill you click on it again.

Cant wait till it gets finalized and we have a fully functional andriod.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

I'm a complete noob to this whole Android / Mobile stuff. Sorry if this is something everyone already knows but I thought I'd give my 2 cents.


I have the latest WM6.1 installed on my Sprint Mogul and installed the latest Android version.
Windows Mobile 6.1: http://www.htc.com
Latest SDK Version from here: http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/

First try or installation (No format):

1) Extracted all files into the root of a 4GB Kingston Micro SDHC card (No formatting to FAT32 was done)
2) Ran Haret
3) Everything booted up to the "Android/Time/Lock" screen. I did not go any further than that. At the time, I had no idea the Q button on the keyboard would take me to the "Desktop", therefore, doing a soft reset
4) Tried to run Haret again and recieved the following message:

mounting/dev/block/loopl on/system failed: invalid argument
Failed to mount/system
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

Second try or installation (Format to FAT32):

1) Formatted the same card to FAT32 using Windows through USB
2) Extracted all the files to the root directory of the storage card
3) Ran Haret
4) Recieved the same following message:

mounting/dev/block/loopl on/system failed: invalid argument
Failed to mount/system
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

Third try or installation (No format using San Disk 512mb)

1) I decided to use the original 512mb Sandisk card the phone came with (No formatting involved)
2) Extracted all the files to the root directory of the storage card
3) Ran Haret
4) Everything booted up to the "Android/Time/Lock" screen
5) Pressed the Q button on the keypad
6) Woah La!

Here are my findings after the Third Installation:

Outgoing Calls: Works
Incoming Calls: Works (It took 6-7 rings the first try. 1-2 rings the second try)
Outgoing Text: N/A
Incoming Text: works fine
Keyboard: on screen KB worked fine after pressing camera button but is only in landscape mode
Internet: I couldn't achieve a connection with anything internet/data related
Contacts: Was not imported or available
Scrolling: Not very user friendly
Icon positioning: Very difficult to position around "Desktop"
Camera: Prompted to insert SD card
Music: Indicates No SD card available
Sound: Does not work
Vibration: Works

Green Call Button on phone: Brings up Call log
Red End Button on phone: Ends call or Turns off Screen

Red Light and exterior buttons on phone: Stays lit when phone is not in use
Orange Light and exterior buttons on phone: Stays lit when phone is in use

KEYBOARD FUNCTIONS:
Q button: Takes you to the "Desktop" (after start up)
Cap/Shift: Close (Current Window or app)
OK or FN+Q: Opens option settings for current prog/app running.
FN+Cap/Shift or FN+Windows Menu: Tabs

Note: All functions may not always work and will require 1 or 2 soft resets.

I hope this helps.


This is definitely a leap foward and appreciate all of you who have put so much time into making this application "work". I can't wait until a final release is completed. Great job guys!

yeah nottt going to mess with this for now...i booted it and got black screen and red light of death..i soft reset it right away and now its good in windows mobile...i hope

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

I have the same problem with the fail to boot. I did 2 formats via Resco which did not help. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get my SD to boot?

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

I don't think most functions work on the Mogul/Titan by default with SDHC cards.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Once I open contacts, or the world globe, or the phone, I can't exit. Is anyone else having this problem. I tried the key commands above, but they didn't work. How did you get the screen to rotate?

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Got it running but it doesn't support the keyboard yet!! ;( its ok tho!! Awesome program...fellas keep working it!!

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

I had the exact same experience with my Verizon XV6800 Mogul.. They're pretty close, but still some bugs. Mine reboots at random while I'm in Android.. Sometimes it'll last for hours, then other times it'll reboot after five minutes of use ... There doesn't seem to be a rule to it. Also, in the previous release, I was able to receive calls. I can't with this release. The screen needs calibration too.. you have approx 10 - 15% accuracy with your fingertip. You MUST use the stylus. I posted a couple of videos on YouTube of my phones. I have this working on my phone & my wife's. She has the Verizon HTC Touch (XV6900). It works alot better on her's. Here's a link to my videos:

In the XV6800 video, you can see Google Maps tracking some dude's position in Mountain View, CA ... It's kinda freaky .. makes you feel like you're spying or something. I'm wondering if it's a demo, or if some guy with the Android team at Google volunteered his phone or vehicle to be a test unit .. Who knows?!? Still awesome.
