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...

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:

Code:

Initializing Modem:

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

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?

It's hard to read on the screen but trying to make it out...

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?

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.

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...
