[Q]progress on ics ? please forvive ignorance - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi:
i installed android on wifes machine months ago.. some things worked better than webos (wireless printer support etc).
some things didnt work atall and seemed like no interest from hard working devs. (video iirc and camera over skype etc.)
wife just wanted stable fully working os and seemed at the time webos was more fully baked.
soo, i cannot find progress report / status on touchpad + android.. is isc fully operational now?.. i do see that jb is getting energy, is ics abandoned ?
and what about webos -- progress on hp releasing what they promised to make dev work easier or even possible?
any linx / help / etc greatly appreciated
sorry , i probly miss the obvious
thanx

In the (very stable) ICS/CM9 nightlies, microphone now works (not sure if you knew that yet). Camera still doesn't work in the nightlies, but a test build by a hardworking dev has a very buggy version of it without video, only pictures. JB/CM10 has no video or sound.
Take a look at the CM9 and CM10 threads in the Development forums for more information.
No idea about WebOS; I haven't booted into it since I installed Android.

working Android on TOPAZ

Hi,
can someone help me with my issue with Android ?
It doesn't work after LOOOONG boot:
1. camera
2. Wifi
3. GSM module + data connection
This things are the most important for me and it doesn't work.
Do you have tips because this procedure upwards doesn't work.
I configure it with this procedure from samsanchez88:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=641021&page=154
Or do you have some other procedure in which will work: GSM module, GPS, WIFI and Camera ?
Thanks for help.
GSM Fix
In the Setup.txt you will notice close to the end there is a command Force_CDMA=1 change the 1 to a 0.
As far as the WiFi, It works fine on mine so does the WiFi Router.
Camera is not working yet.

Does will somebody fix the camrea problem or rather will fix this issue in Android 2.2?
Does the data connection works on your Topaz [ EDGE, UMTS, HSPDA ] ?
Currently zImage or kennel for topaz is incomplete, despite xdandroid builds are working fine on other devices except camera, such as original diamond. So, topaz has some functionalities being worked on.The lastest achievement is gps(buggy) and slight power management.The camera is not even supported by android according to xdandroid page. This does not seem to be zImage problem.
If you want most complete bleading edge kenel drivers and fix bugs, go to glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android/ and read people's comments and download accordingly.(some builds are screwed bewarned)
Camera
So Camera will never work on TOPAZ ?
It doesnt work the data connection why ? It also doesn't work ?
Why doesnt work moutUSB as external storage ? It also doesn't work ?
devs are working on everything.
camera support is comming that is only thing not supported by haret android system yet.
mount usb does not work because simply you cannot afford to give sd card to pc while you are using it. That does not mean impossible as devs are again working on it.
data is actually working go above link to replace zimage with latest version(do read people's comments if data is working. ) and it should work. is sad that shadowline abandoned the thread and android devs are seem to be working more on bringing leo to android instead of topaz...
go wiki and read advanced user section pls....
1. Do you know when exactly will work the camera [ in 2 months, 3 monts, 4 monts ] ?
2. It have sense to work as function "mount usb" - flash disk, I use it on Win Mobile everyday as flash disk. Do someone of devs want work on it?
3.Will someone work also on the power managment that the device can run at least one day ?
4. Why doesn't work the speaker or headphones when I play music ?
Thanks for info.
As squarememory says, the developers are working on all this issues. Porting android and a linux kernel to this phones is not a simple job. The kernel support general hard, but the config for the phone is very specific. Adjusting drivers to work with the phone's hard implies a lot of work.
Grab a seat, take it easy, they are doing an excellent job, and when they got issues solved, you gonna see the results reflected in the repos.
I know that they are doing goog job but can you tell me just rough estimation when main bugs [ Power, Camera, SOUND from speakers or headset ] will be solved ?
Thanks.
Mate, no one is paying them to do this, they're not a company or selling this as a product. And like everyone else they have a Real Life, a job, family, etc.
That will be ready when they have time and when they can solve the problems.
1 day, 20 years or never. No one will never know, so try help instead of asking when or why because no one here have the obligation to do it.
Dude, I know they do that for free and have theirs lives. But human is not patient if something like and that's my story. I appreciate their work because it's amazing to run different OS on the same phone.
That's it. I didn't want to bother anyone.
be patient or buy an andriod device.
I know the answer. And it is... "nobody knows"
Porting is a serious job, which requires TONS of inspiration, time and knowledge. Let's suppose "knowledge" is a fixed value (at least not decreasing during the process), but "time" and "inspiration" can't really be estimated.
In other words, it's a hack and it will be there... when it is ready
for this to work you'll need to have the latest "modules-*******" for topaz file
@ all
For connection with sd-card and management about android,read this thread.
With the last kernel and XDAndroid it works like a charme.

Only thing that not working on my topaz is the camera,but i hope they can fix it soon.

Kovsky Kernel Development [2.6.35]

This thread is dedicated to the development of the 2.6.35 kernel for the Xperia X1 (HTC Kovsky) device.
Alex (sp3dev) has done a wonderful job so far to port a lot of his pervious 2.6.27 work into this branch. His source code can be found here: http://gitorious.com/~ast/linux-on-qualcomm-s-msm/alex-linux-xperia
It’s possible to build the source and boot the kernel, but no functionality beyond that is functioning so far (i.e. it won’t connect to your GSM network or be able to detect touch on the screen).
Eventually releases will be posted here; hopefully other developers can submit patches, recommendations, etc.
Thanks, and stay tuned!
Great, expecting the completely new kernel!
Stay Tuned, YES!!

yes, I think we have to use this thread to stay up to date with the kernel development.
My opinion is that there are few developer that continue to port android on kovsky, the Alex branch is one the most active. So I'll follow you.
Thanks and keep going.
OK starting with the offtopic in development thread again (sorry), but what are the advantages of the new kernel?
Mainly to clean up the code and iron out bugs (probably to merge with mainline linux one day).. But anyway, just for fun..
Alex can you just do some quick fixes and compile .35 version for NEOPEEK GINGERBREAD ROM ???
That's would be great thing for X1 community
no, unfortunately not. it requires much more than small fixes. porting microp and touchscreen drivers is a huge PITA. and i want to port some nand bootloader first
Ok thanks for answer...
But, i didn't understand what you mean by that bootloader...you wanna make DIRECT NAND ADROID BOOTLOADER for X1 ?
Anyway is that what you love to do or you know how to do it ?
If you need any help from me i am here. I am not good with LINUX terminal, but i know VB.net, C#, and a little C++.
Thanks for everything rusian brother
This looks like the stuff they are doing here https://www.codeaurora.org/gitweb/q...it;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/android-msm-2.6.35, whats different?
Ok, a very experimental zImage. Only for those of you guys that have much free time and nothing to do...
http://www.mediafire.com/?a1rzi5embishqd7
It contains:
kernel 2.6.35.7
Working:
Touchscreen
Sound/headset (with the new libraries from jbruneaux). You need to copy AudioFilterTable.csv, AudioPara3_XC.csv renamed to AudioPara3.csv, AudioPreProcessTable.csv from \Windows to the root of sd card. All in all, this means you can use custom acoustic tables and sound quality will improve greatly.
LEDs. Completely reworked, doesn't hang with custom triggers. Do 'echo mmc0 > /sys/class/leds/green/trigger' to have fun and let the green led blink like on your desktop when accessing sd card.
Phone calls (huh. i have not tested mic though)
Keyboard/keypad.
USB - will probably fail if booting with usb plugged. replug to activate. some power management was reworked (will need to fix that glitch with booting with usb in), but now the power of ulpi is disabled when usb unplugged - less drain
Battery monitor/Charger - less hackish now. Uses linux power system to drop voltage/monitor charging. The charger status updates instantaneously on plug/unplug
Shutdown/reboot
Not working yet:
GPRS/PPP (alright.. you are free to fix the userspace, ril and scripts to choose the correct smd channel. i will not add the hack swapping channels 1 and 7 to the new kernel)
GPS (will just crash. but probably more a userspace thing, though)
Bluetooth (rfkill is there. it will hang dead if you try to access the serial port, though)
WiFi
Qwerty backlight (i'm just lazy)
Vibra (look up the previous point)
Camera (WIP)
Optical Joystick
To make sound work, copy the two .so files to /system/lib. They are incompatible with previous kernels (htc-linux tree) and vice versa, this kernel is incompatible with the old libraries.
Do NOT set pm.sleep_mode to 0 or 1, it is not yet working
So, you can see that this is highly experimental and a WIP, it's more a proof of concept, but if you have time, you could try it to see if it boots for you..
I guess like everyone here... i just want no more button freezes! everything else is currently working acceptably for me!
Wow, amazing you managed to get 2.6.35 working on our mobile phones, I like what you have done with the LED's And reponse time was impressive and it felt very speedy, had sadly some issues that prevented me from running any benchmarks.
Honeycomb is not working will with this new kernel, could not connect to any network, it was continiously switcing flight mode on off preventing any kind of network from working. Could not browse the filesystem with included filebrowser, I do wonder why as I had not problem accessing /sdcard from a terminal.
Do you know why the existing froyo libraries have problems with the updated kernel?
No, i have no problems. Ril works fwiw
http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/6028/devicefn.png
So, maybe you need to do a wipe before booting. Anyway, it is nowhere near working, so i guess it is pointless digging into the userspace before getting all hardware on 35.
One thing. JB sound libs may be prelinked and conflict with your system libraries, so i think it's best to wait until this stuff is merged to xdandroid first
Was this kernel made based off source changes not yet committed to GIT? I tried last week building a kernel based on your 35 repository (which it built successfully) but the touch screen wasn’t working for me.
The touchscreen part was not modified, but yes, some of the code is not yet released. I am still working on headset and audio and plan on committing it later this week. I am now testing wifi. The card seems to bring up now, but i have not yet tried connecting. Setting up debian chroot for that now
But Alex,
Please understand that all kernels from .27 series have really unstable WiFi and really slow... If you can make WiFi to work like on WM that would be all what i want in Android
Thanks
It is really great work guys .. keep it up .. i'm waiting for this kernel ..
hope i can see it fully working soon .. as i guess it may overcome libskia problem as neopeek said .. which will give us the ability to port many awesome roms ..
Thanks too much Alex & Seandean ..

good work!!! what about FM Radio and front camera in the future?
Wow. after much trial and error, wl1251 'just works' as it should (well, actually the wl1251 sdio driver is a bit buggy, so for some time now we won't be using wifi interrupt and power saving mode). The patches for mmc are commited.. The rest, audio and headset, will come later

Excellent, sounds like 2.6.35 is getting close to replace the old 2.6.27
Do you have some precompiled wpa_supplicant and libnl.so that are working with the wl1251 network driver? Have added the compat-wireless to the old 2.6.27 but I am having some difficulty compiling the tools needed to control it and verify if it is working at all on the old kernel.
Downloaded a copy of your 2.6.35 source yesterday, can see that I allready now need to download it again to get your latest updates

What is the CM9 issues and how do you guys survive with it ?

Hi , anyone can tell me the exact CM9 issues and why it's cannot be fixed yet ?
So how you guys survive with that ROM ?
Please share me some TIPS .
Currently i'm using Stock Gingerbread since I bought it last year December and now I would like to use CM9 custom rom (PARANOIDANDROID) yayyy
Thanks .

I guess the idea is to test your own skills in modding your phone and see, what the different developers would like us to have. After a few installs, you are hooked at getting your daily fix of new ROM and will suffer withdrawal symptoms, if no new ROM are a available for even a short period!!
Even if all the latest ROMs are not fully functional, they still add many new features to our phone.
I have become very enthusiastic about my phone again and I have had it for almost two years now. The longest time I have ever had a mobile phone.
What also is interesting is that you are able to try so many new apps, that only works if your phone is rooted.
So the benefits are many and if you are not satisfied, there are very good guides on how to go back to stock.
Good luck

CM 9 don't support Hardware acceleration. Thats the major problem that i know

Hardware Acceleration in CM9 for LG O2X is not working as of now (Needs LG to release an ICS based kernel).
Due to which:
- Video Recording doesn't work.
- Will not be able to play HD videos.
- Some of the system apps will start to lag after some usage (Phone & Contacts).
thank you . i hope the promised official ICS update will reach soon .

Ok, so CM 9 and CM 10 has the following problems:
1) No Hardware acceleration which means:
a) You CAN'T use your video camera at all. Now, I know that some says that you can use Videocam illusion, but that app can record only very low quality videos, which I found to be pretty useless (a lot of CPU use for that low quality).
b) Google Chrome is not supported due to it's need to access the GPU, but this is not so important due to other very good browsers
c) You will experience scrolling jittering. That being said when you will try to change between photos in the gallery (usually there is the bigest problem), or between songs in some media players by swaping on the screen, you will see something like the photo or album art is going back from where it came, but the result is good: changing the photo / song. The only problem is the visual one.
d) Gameloft games, and especially those with a little video at the begining will not work until you delete those clips from the instalation folder.
2) No radio application => no more FM radio for you. Wi-Fi (or a really well data plan) resolves this thing by using it for Tune-in Radio, a very good application for radio. I prefer to use it even on GB roms, because of the very good sound quality regardless the standard radio that sometimes loses the signal.
3) On CM 10 there are a few more bugs like no automatic brightness, or battery drain due to Wi-fi. Regardless all theese bugs, I found CM 10 from ParanoidAndroid to be a way much better rom than any other around here. Keeping the Wi-Fi off I don't experience any battery drain (more than that my battery last longer than anytime) and my favorite no data connection lost (I don't know if this was a carrier problem or not, but before switching to CM 10 i had a lot of data connection problems).
4) Not to be forgotten the lag on installing applications from Google Play Store. I found this problem on almost every single rom I've tried, and I tried almost all of them. I think I found only one or two roms w/o this problem, but being a maniac for the latest updates I've chosen the ICS and JB roms instead of a very stable one
5) No GPS working on CM 10
Now it's your decision. If you can live w/o video camera and gps and try to not get angry at every scroll bug you should really try the new CM 9 and 10 roms

I know this may sound weird to you, but: I can survive without any ROM.
It's not that your life depends on your smartphone, does it?

Jellybean ROM issue/question

I am currently running Altonus2 V1.2 with Kernel Version 2.6.32.9-kfazz-g21797a7-dirty and first off I must tip my hat to the developers, it's mind blowing that they were able to make this work on the OG Droid.
My issues are: GPS doesn't\ work (no navigation, just "searching for satellites") and the internet crashes shortly after the browser opens. The phone runs slow but I imagine that is just a side effect from running JB on an older phone. Is there a way to get GPS and the internet working? I'm not new to flashing roms and the like but compared to the experience here I'm all but a noob to any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I believe GPS doesn't work because kfazz had to remove /system/lib/hw/gps.sholes.so because it was causing a bootloop for some people, in regard to Wifi several people have reported problems with it and getting it to connect at all or maintain a consistent connection has been very hit and miss. Keep in mind kfrazz himself said while a lot of progress has been made on the Jelly Bean ROM there are still many thing that don't work and will take a long to fix.

[Q] Haven't flashed in a while, help please

I haven't updated my SCH-I800 in a while and I notice that there is now a stable "cm-9.1.0-p1c.zip" on the cyanogenmod site but also CM10 builds (cm-10-20130714-NIGHTLY-p1c.zip) as recently as last week. The forums for the I800 aren't up right now so I thought I'd ask here if these CM10s are actually functioning well or if they have lots of missing features. And as much as I dig, I seem to only find half working ROMs or extremely experimental ones that have basic things like WiFi missing. Is there a solid stock Samsung ROM and a solid AOSP ROM that everyone uses at this mater point in this tablet's lifespan?
And is there a new method for flashing at all? Or is ODIN still the way?
Thanks!!!

I have spent the last week or so trying to get an SCH-i800 to run something OTHER than the stock gingerbread well and just haven't found it yet. The closest I got was a build of CM9 but still have sporadic reboots.
It's frustrating since the only thing I want this to do is run some OBD apps for my car. The problem is that apps detect Gingerbread and run in phone mode vs. tablet mode, wasting a bunch of screen space.
Cubed has been pretty much the only non-stock rom that didn't have FC's and random reboots. I don't even use the cellular feature of this tablet - I'd be happy just disabling the modem entirely and running on wifi if it meant it being more stable.
I'm considering just getting a Nexus 7, but the problem is that this thing would need to live in my car and I don't feel like doing that with a new tablet which is why I was trying to get the i800 to work
