coolbtkI am having an issue with getting XDANDROID running on my Fuze. I have placed all the files in the andboot folder on my SD card (including STARTUP.TXT from the FUZE folder) and it is getting stuck at the boot animation screen. This is my second attempt. The first time it sat at this screen for 30 minutes before I soft reset, deleted all files, re-copied them, and tried again. I've now been waiting 15 minutes at this screen. I am00:31
coolbtkdoes anyone have any suggestions?00:31
arrrghhhcoolbtk, ok this sounds stupid00:32
arrrghhhbut instead of deleting everything00:32
arrrghhhjust delete the data.img file00:32
arrrghhhthen reboot00:32
coolbtkok. Believe me, it doesn't sound stupid. I've been working with computers for a long time... lol. I'll give that a shot.00:33
*** Ashar has quit IRC00:34
arrrghhhhaha00:35
arrrghhhyea, there's an issue with the system images not being properly signed00:35
arrrghhhwe're not really running the 'official' android if you catch my drift...00:35
wladstonlol00:36
wladstonthat happened to me once00:36
arrrghhhyea00:36
wladstonjust reset and try again00:36
arrrghhhgood ole bootloop00:36
arrrghhhsometimes that works too00:36
arrrghhhbut with a fresh build, there's nothing in your data.img00:36
coolbtkI've deleted data.img and it is currently creating a new one.00:36
arrrghhhcoolbtk, this is basically where all your settings and installed apps go.00:37
arrrghhhyea it'll take a little while to boot00:37
arrrghhhbut 10+ mins, you're in a bootloop.00:37
coolbtk10+ starting from when the animation starts, right?00:38
wladstoncooool00:38
wladstonfound a generate-rootfs.sh!!!00:38
arrrghhhi'd say 10+ from when you click haret00:38
wladstonAND a readme!!00:38
wladston:D00:38
coolbtkOk.00:38
arrrghhhhaha there you go00:38
arrrghhhyou'll get different experiences on speed on one boot to another.  it's very odd.00:39
wladstonhappens to me too00:39
wladstonsometimes it's UBER slow00:39
arrrghhhi'm thinking background processes, but damn.  sometimes it seems way speedy, other times it just drags.00:39
wladstoni remove the overclock - gets better00:39
arrrghhhreally?00:40
arrrghhhmore consistent w/o oc00:40
arrrghhhmakes sense :P00:40
arrrghhhjust stupid of htc.  putting such old proc & ram specs on the tp2.00:40
coolbtkAfter the first successful boot, does data.img have to be deleted sometimes, or is it generally pretty stable once it works the first time?00:40
arrrghhhsame as your fuze00:40
arrrghhhcoolbtk, doesn't happen every time00:40
arrrghhhalthough i think it's more frequent on the raph than it is on rhod00:40
wladstonI'm wondering if I should go ahead and write a rootfs page for the wiki00:41
wladstonI'll write one locally00:41
wladstonI don't know what data.img is yet00:41
arrrghhhit's generated on first boot00:42
arrrghhhby the rootfs00:42
arrrghhhand it stores basically all the stuff that the user changes.  apps installed, icon locations, widgets, etc etc00:42
wladston?!?! wow00:42
arrrghhhso that's why ppl don't like blasting it out :P00:42
wladstonahn00:42
wladstonso it's like the local filesystem00:43
arrrghhhyessir00:43
arrrghhhsome ppl have been needing bigger than 256mb00:43
arrrghhhand are wondering why it's 256mb.  but they forget, some ppl still have 512mb cards :P00:43
wladstonthere is a installer script on it that does it00:44
coolbtkI'm unfortunately trying this on a 1 gig card. My son decided that my 8 gig micro sd wanted to hang out at the bottom of a water bottle.00:45
wladstonlol00:45
coolbtkI found it 3 days later.00:45
wladstonaaaauuuch00:45
wladstonno chance00:45
wladstonoxidation00:45
coolbtknope. none at all. I dried it out, but the oxidation killed it.00:45
arrrghhhdang...00:46
wladstonpoor data00:46
arrrghhhthat's unfortunate.00:46
arrrghhhall those 1's and 0's.  lost.  :P00:46
wladstonwill try a simple keymap change, see if that works00:46
coolbtkyeah. The really sad part was that I had gotten it out to use it for the first time. I bought it several years ago when the Touch Cruise first came out00:46
coolbtkand when I put it into my Touch Cruise, the memory card reader broke.00:47
coolbtkso I never used the card00:47
arrrghhhaw.00:48
arrrghhhso no lost data lol00:48
coolbtkwell, looks like I'm still stuck in a boot loop. Does the card need to be empty other than the android files?00:49
wladstonstinebd: why are there .bin and also .kl files for keyboard ? This suggests that I somehow have to "compile" the .kl files into the bin files ....00:49
wladstonhow is that done ?00:49
arrrghhhi think they're placed with the bins00:50
arrrghhhnot sure tho00:50
arrrghhhcoolbtk, oh no.  did you put it in a folder?  you are getting the boot animation?00:50
arrrghhhthis time just try rebooting.  don't touch anything, just soft reset & hit haret again.00:50
arrrghhhperhaps you should've just left your data.img alone :S00:50
wladstonarrrghhh: yeah, they are placed with the bins ... but do I need to worry about the bins ?00:50
arrrghhhnot sure.00:51
wladstonarrrghhh: also, how can I find the keycode for the back mute button ?00:51
arrrghhhi think you have to use haretconsole00:51
coolbtkYes, I put all the android files inside the andboot folder. Other files on the card are in another folder. I was stuck on the boot animation still. Will try a reboot and start it without deleting data.img00:52
arrrghhhit's done thru winmo... not sure how the process works.00:52
arrrghhhcoolbtk, yea you can technically put android in any folder, you just need to modify the rel_path= value in the cmdline in the startup.txt00:52
arrrghhhi have mine 2 folders deep lol00:53
arrrghhh& i have a few builds.00:53
arrrghhhi had like 10 at one point, but i cleaned it up... down to 2 now :P00:53
coolbtkYeah. Linux isn't usually very picky about where it is and what else is around, as long as you tell it where it is.00:54
arrrghhhindeed00:54
coolbtkI've never used Android before though, so I wasn't sure.00:54
wladstonstinebd: there are maps for the PTT button (that aren't present on every rhod) but no maps for the rear mute (because they aren't present on every rhod). To follow the ideals, maybe we should also remove the mapping for the PTT button too, no ?00:54
arrrghhhyea, and a lot of these things don't apply to an OEM android phone00:54
arrrghhhi think it'd be better to add the keymap for the mute instead of remove the ptt one... ;)00:55
coolbtkToo bad I can't just run DSL or something on this thing. All I want is wifi and audio. lol00:55
arrrghhhhaha00:55
arrrghhhrun 1.600:55
wladstonarrrghhh: no luck on finding out about the haret console00:55
arrrghhhone of the cyanogen ones00:55
wladston:)00:55
coolbtksuccess!00:55
arrrghhhthey're a wee bit trickier00:55
arrrghhhwladston, yea that was just a stab00:56
wladstoncoolbtk: \o/00:56
arrrghhhcoolbtk, awesome!00:56
arrrghhhnow i go to sleep :D00:56
arrrghhhhave a good one guys00:56

wladstoncoolbtk: I'm still going to hang for a while00:57
wladstonI HAVE to try that build :)00:58
coolbtkah. alright.00:58
coolbtkI should sleep soon as well. Have to be up in 7 hours, assuming my kids sleep that long.00:58
coolbtkBut, I want to get this set up... it's a horrible dilemma.00:59

wladston:) it will work01:48
wladstonnow I'm wondering if the keys will change, or I'll have to find out about the .bin keyboard files01:48
wladstonit didn't work :(01:50
wladstonweird thing is that the .bin files doesn't change on the commit01:51

wladstonoh, I wish I lived in usa to get a google voice too02:13
wladstonOH02:13
wladstonremembered02:13
coolbtkbasically, I can make or receive calls and send and receive SMS anywhere that I have WIFI access02:13
wladstoncool02:14
wladstonWOHOO02:16
wladstonit worked!!!02:16
coolbtkcongrats!02:16
wladstonbut the device is UBER slow02:17
wladstonthe key map os the same02:17
wladstonwell, going fine ajust this keymap to see if I can get the speed back02:18
coolbtkwhy are you remapping the keys?02:22
wladstonbecause I want to use the super cool app switcher02:22
wladstonsee it :02:23
coolbtkah. is that a different one than the one that comes up when you hold the power button?02:23
wladstonhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s92BLUj6r002:23
wladstonyeah02:23
wladstonit lets you close running applications02:23
wladstonand switch between the running ones02:23
wladstonI can't leave windows mobile without being able to do that02:23
coolbtkah. cool02:23
wladston:)02:23
wladstonI'm thinking about copying the EVO keymap02:24
wladstonhome, menu, back, and search, instead of call, menu, back, end02:24
wladstonI can reach the call with the end + softbutton02:25
wladstonwell, since I only need the home I think I'll keep it as it is02:25
coolbtkcool02:25
wladstonexcept for the added home02:25
coolbtkthis app looks pretty sweet02:26
wladstonisn't it ?02:26
wladstonthat evo is SUPER fast too02:28
coolbtkYeah. I wish I could afford one.02:31
coolbtkThis Fuze was given to me for free.02:31
wladstonwow02:31
wladstonman .. you live in usa .... that's 300 bucks on ebay!!02:31
wladstonfor me, it's no less than 1050 bucks02:32
coolbtkyeah. It was given to him for free as well. He used it for about a week and then went back to his Blackberry.02:32
wladstonthat is, 1800 brazilian reais02:32
coolbtkWhy he went back to his Blackberry, I will never know.02:32
wladstonindeed02:32
wladstonfinal boot before bed (hopefully)02:34
coolbtkcrap. How do I go about installing programs that aren't available on the market? I can't download it because it says I need an SD card...02:35
wladston?!?!02:37
wladstonyou do have an sd card, right ?02:37
wladstonthat issue is already fixed on my build02:38
wladstona guy posted a fix some time ago02:38
coolbtkhmmm... I downloaded 2.2 from xda-developers. maybe that's my problem...02:38
wladstonarght02:39
coolbtkso... I apparently need to start over... :/02:40
wladstonno, you can just apply the fix02:41
coolbtkoh. I have no idea how to do that.02:41
coolbtkcan I just copy the files from the new archive over the existing files on my memory card?02:42
wladstonwhere did you get the bin from ?02:42
wladstonyeah02:42
wladstondon't delete your user image02:42
wladstonand your settings will (should at least) be saved02:42
coolbtkok. The version I downloaded was XDANDROID.2.2.AOSP.FRX01.17.9.10.UPDATE_PACKAGE from the xda-developers thread. I'm currently downloading XDAndroid 2.2.1 Build FRX02 from xdandroid.com02:43
wladstonyeah02:43
wladstonthat's the one I use02:43
wladstonit has auto-update on it02:43
wladstonthat is the same build that I have I think02:43
coolbtkwait... what I downloaded is just a .ext2 file.02:44
wladstonI need a file explorer app02:44
wladstonwhat's the name of your device ?02:44
wladstonrhodium ? topaz ?02:44
coolbtkRaphael02:45
coolbtkoh, I just need to download the newest zimage, rootfs, and initrd updates. I see those now.02:46

wladstonhttp://htcandroid.xland.cz/system-FRX02.ext2.zip02:47

wladstonjust extract it and replace02:47
wladstonwow - now I love my phone back :D02:47
coolbtkalright.02:48
coolbtkIsn't it satisying when you customize the crap out of your phone and finally get it where you want it?02:48
wladstonyeah02:49
wladstonwell, but I did nothing02:49
wladstonthe guys at xdadevs made this thing02:49
wladstonI hope I can contribute with something02:50
wladstonlike the camera02:50
wladstonor the zoombar keymaps02:50
coolbtki'm confused. What do I do with this ext2 file?02:52
wladstonreplace it02:52

coolbtki hate that text messages sounds play until they are over, regardless of what you do03:02
*** TheDeadCPU has quit IRC03:03
coolbtkso if you want a longer sound to make sure you hear it when it's in your pocket, you have to listen to the whole thing every time you get a text.03:03
wladstonanother thing that isn't working is usb disk drive03:03
wladstonI'm using short sound + vibration03:03
wladstonworks best for me03:04
*** TheDeadCPU has joined #xdandroid03:04
coolbtkyeah. that's what I ended up doing. I like to have a song play when I get a text though. Problem is, there's no way to stop it with winmo03:04

*** leobaillard has joined #xdandroid03:06
wladstonyou can always download the app at mobility, and then place it on your filesystem (via windows mobile)03:06

wladstonyeah03:06
coolbtklol03:06

skyguy04well things like rootfs i've been told don't require that.13:02
skyguy04Ok, cool. Thanks13:02

stinebdwell i've made some interesting progress with the updater14:59
wladstonstinebd: with updater ?15:01
wladstonthe xdandroidstartup ?15:01
stinebdno15:01
wladston?15:01
stinebdan over-the-air updater15:01
wladstonwhat does it updates ?15:02
stinebdandroid15:02
wladstonthe main image / rootfs ?15:02
wladstoncool15:02
wladstonit won't need a reboot to update ?!15:03
wladstonhow is that ?15:03
stinebdit will. it won't need a full system image.15:03
stinebdincremental updates15:03
wladstoninteresting!15:03
wladstonstinebd: was thinking about making a script to package a local rootfs15:04
wladstonwould it get pushed ?15:04
stinebdrootfs has a script in it15:04
wladstonyeah - but you can only use it for git repos15:04
wladstonI didn't manage to make the rootfs without altering the script15:05
stinebddo you know how git works?15:05
wladstonI read a lot about it yesterday15:05
wladstonso I know a little but15:05
wladstonbit15:05
wladstonI know that every dev has a clone of the whole repository15:05
stinebdhttp://gitorious.org/xdandroid-eclair/eclair-rootfs/blobs/master/scripts/README#line2815:05
stinebdsee the part starting at line 37 in particular15:06
stinebdif you have a local git clone, which you've made changes to (and committed those changes), you can copy the script somewhere, set REPO=~/your-rootfs-clone and run it15:06
wladstonstinebd: I tried that yesterday, a lot, but I couldn't manage to fix the git errors that came up15:07
wladstonstinebd: oh, the part "and committed those changes" is the problematic one for me15:08
wladstonstinebd: I'll try it again here, commiting the changes15:08

*** arrrghhh has joined #xdandroid15:14
wladstonstinebd: should I create a new branch for my changes ? I think that it would be the case, but I'm unsure about what is a branch and the docs don't make it much clear for me15:14
wladstonallright, created the commit for the master branch15:20
wladstoncopied the script to ../15:21
wladstonit doesn't run15:24
wladston"Initialized empty Git repository in /home/wladston/projects/xdandroid/tmp/eclair-rootfs/.git/"15:24
wladstonbut it's not empty, I even commited to it15:24
arrrghhhskyguy04: we don't support the startup utility.15:27
stinebdarrrghhh: look up how to generate a /res/keys file for recovery15:27
arrrghhhdo what?15:27
stinebdjust do it15:28
arrrghhhthat wasn't meant for wladston ?15:28

arrrghhh...?15:30

wladston:) cool15:31
wladstonI'm a bit 'lost' here15:31
arrrghhhwell if your goal was to confuse the hell out of me with some random code crap, you win :P15:31
stinebdyou better believe it was baby15:32
stinebdomg there it goes!15:33
arrrghhhblargh.  stupid bugs.15:33
wladstonhummmm I think I figured out the issue15:33
wladstonthe script is issuing git clone  ./eclair-rootfs eclair-rootfs15:33
wladstonit can't clone the project on itself15:34
wladstonstinebd: why did you made the $REPO variable exacly equals to the $REPODIR ?15:34
stinebduh?15:35
wladstonthe script clones my changed repo into another, right ?15:35
stinebdREPO can not be a relative path15:35
wladstonoh15:35
wladstonnice15:35
* wladston fixes the path15:36
stinebdhmm MTD:boot assertion failure15:36
wladstonstinebd: fixed the path, but still got errors15:37
wladstonthe script is issuing15:37

wladstonwithout changing the script15:46
wladstongonna put that new rootfs to the spin15:49
wladston:)15:49
stinebdi am so taking a video of this15:50
wladstonarrrghhh: today, when I tried to download an app from market, it would not go15:51
wladstonarrrghhh: I had to delete the user image15:51
arrrghhhyea15:51
wladstonarrrghhh: and then it worked15:51
arrrghhhthat's the fix typically.15:52
wladstonarrrghhh: any ideas why that happened ?15:52
arrrghhhwe're not running the official android?15:52
wladstonafaik, yeah15:52
arrrghhhi'm not sure how the whole signing thing is working... if it is at all.15:52
arrrghhhstinebd would be able to give you much more information on the technical why.15:52
wladston?! how is signing related to this problem ?15:53
wladston??15:53
stinebdit's not15:53
arrrghhhhrm15:54
arrrghhhwell then i have no clue why deleting the data.img fixes the market issues.15:55
stinebdnobody does15:55
stinebdif we had a clue, it'd be fixed15:55
arrrghhhit's all becoming as clear as mud.15:55
arrrghhh:D15:55
arrrghhhi guess the signing issue is just related to the bootloop then?15:56
wladstonstinebd: does cell tower based location work for you ?15:56
stinebdarrrghhh: no, the signing issue was supposed to help the updates frying data.img15:56
stinebdthat didn't work out, so maybe the incremental updates are needed to further help with it15:56
wladstonarrrghhh: it's related to android accepting updates from xdadev as it they were from google15:56
stinebdwladston: yes15:57
arrrghhhhm15:57
arrrghhhwladston: i think all gsm devices using the newest system image should have netloc working again.15:57
stinebdeven with test keys, the updates shouldn't have been getting screwed up though15:57
wladstonmy netloc isn't working15:57
arrrghhhassuming netloc worked before :P  there was an apk missing from the system.15:57
arrrghhhdo you have the newest system image?15:58
arrrghhhi think you did that in pre-FRX02 right stine?15:58
wladstonarrrghhh: I've made the build yesterday15:58
stinebdyes15:58
wladstonwhere does this apk reside ?15:59
stinebdin the google apps package15:59
arrrghhhwell... you're not building the system image are you?15:59
arrrghhhi thought you were just mucking with the rootfs.15:59
stinebdhe's been bugging me for days with various things :P15:59
wladstonnope, I have the whole build now15:59
arrrghhhdang16:00

arrrghhhyou have to be on GSM... i thought all gsm devices were functional with netloc16:21
wladstonI'm on GSM16:21
arrrghhhi won't be much help, my poor bastard cdma device will probably never have a functional netloc16:21
arrrghhhdid it ever work?16:21
wladstonnope16:22
wladstonnever16:22
hamagc:(16:22
hamagcour poor netloc16:23
emwenetwork based location broken again? uh? thought it was fixed with FRX02?16:23
wladstonlooks like it's broken just for me16:23
Aksnetloc stopped working in the FRX002 build16:23
hamagci've seen reports of it being broken on gsm16:23
Aksits broken on GSM16:23
Aksonly16:24
AksCDMA are fine16:24
hamagccdma is fine?16:24
hamagccdma never had netloc lol16:24
wladstonAks, hamagc, emwe : do we have the code for the netloc ? how can we debug it ?16:24
wladstonmy coordinates are always 0 00 00 and 0 00 00 unless I turn on the gps and get outdoors for a while16:24
arrrghhhAks: uh....16:25
hamagci have no clue16:25
emweAks: i am on gms and i really thought it got fixed.. just let me try.16:25
* wladston just saw the RHOD reboot by itself - weird16:25
emwewladston: it's an apk. and i think as it is a google service, it's closed source.16:25
hamagcwell thats better than it booting by itself lol16:25
hamagcnetworklocation.apk16:25
wladstonhamagc: is there a shell where we can interact with this apk in any way ?16:26
hamagcnot that i know of16:26
Aksthat apk was pakaged into something ?16:26
arrrghhhNetworkLocation.apk yea16:26
arrrghhhsystem image Aks16:26
hamagcis it a signature issue again?16:26
wladstonthe apk changed from the working version to this version ?16:26
Aksarrrghhh: any chance it got missed while packaging ?16:26
hamagci know that was the issue on prefrx02?16:27
Akswhy only for  GSM16:27
wladstonAks:  it could be missing, I'm unsure how to check for its presence16:27
hamagcbecause it doesn't work on cdma at this point, only gsm.16:27
arrrghhhAks: netloc never worked for cdma.16:27
arrrghhhnot many devs have cdma devices.16:27
hamagcwladston: if you have a file manager, look in system/apps i think16:27
hamagcdoesn't work on cdma due to rmnet issues i believe16:28
AksI had the BLAZN n it was great ... I even downloaded the text-2-speech for navigation ...16:28
wladstonhamagc: ok, going to get a file manager from market, hold on16:28
Aksmine's a lil different - RHOD400 on GSM16:28
wladstonAks: yeah, tested text to speech navigation today ... GREAT16:28
wladstonbut it worked via GP16:28
wladstonGPS16:28
arrrghhhAks: that's a native CDMA device, so you may be SOL.  not sure.16:28
Aksarrrghhh : I hv no idea how I got it working before :P16:29
wladstonAks: we have the repo changes, we can find out16:29
wladston:)16:29
Akscool16:30
arrrghhhAks: how do you know it was working before...?16:30
Aksarrrghhh: It always showed my position nearest to the 500-2000  mts. so I belv it took the loc of the nearest tower16:31
wladstonany suggestions for file explorer ?16:31
hamagcastro16:31
wladstonkay, downloading it16:31
arrrghhhAks: were you connected to wifi...?16:33
arrrghhhi found some people that were saying netloc was working, only to find out they were connected to wifi.16:34
wladstonlooks like market isn't working again .... it was on "downloading..." now it's on "download paused"16:34
stinebdi have a feeling this is a google server issue, on both counts16:34
wladstonis it just for me and stinebd, or is it affecting you guys too ?16:34
wladstonyup16:35
wladstonI'm going to use the shell to check the presence of the file16:35
stinebdnetloc works on my n1 though16:35
stinebdmarket is really busted16:35
wladston"download unsuccessful"16:35
Aksarrrghhh : no16:35
stinebdi don't see any obvious errors on xdandroid regarding netloc16:36
stinebdjust that it fails16:36
stinebdof course i've got an inactive sim in it, that might not help16:36
AksI m always conenct to radio n/w16:37
wladstonallright, I have NetworkLocation.apk in /system/app16:37
arrrghhhAks: doesn't help me.16:37
arrrghhhwladston: so netloc didn't work on frx01 or older builds?16:38
arrrghhhmay have even been before frx0116:38
arrrghhhso hard to tell since it never worked for me :P16:38
stinebdnetloc broke with frx0116:38
wladstonhamagc: can you point out the build where netloc still worked ?16:38
emwearrrghhh: didn't work on frx0116:38
wladstonok16:38
stinebdnetloc was fixed in pre-frx0216:38
arrrghhhah.  so wladston did it work before frx0116:38
emwearrrghhh: it did16:38
arrrghhhemwe: is your name wladston ? :P16:39
wladstonidk, my first try was yesterday16:39
arrrghhhoh16:39
hamagci'd say pre frx-01 or pre-frx02 from the sounds of it lol16:39
arrrghhhwell that doesn't help me either ;)16:39
hamagci'm really not sure as netloc has never worked for me16:39
arrrghhh:D16:39
emwearrrghhh: ehrrr :P16:39
arrrghhhhahaha16:39
arrrghhheh, netloc seems pretty minor in the grand scheme of things.16:40
wladstonyeah, for sure16:40
wladstonbut is one thing I feel I would try to fix for starters16:40
emwearrrghhh: if gps-fix takes 15 minutes one really starts to think about just relying on netloc ;)16:40
emwebrb516:40
hamagcgps-fix is like 10 seconds if you use quickgps in winmo first :D16:41
wladstonbooting in windows mobile, getting a fix and then back to android is like 5 min at least16:41
hamagcdon't have to do it everytime16:42
hamagcmaybe once a week? i think after that the quickgps expires16:42
arrrghhhemwe: eh when phone calls don't work really... netloc seems kinda minor :P16:43
stinebdalways with the whining about phone calls16:43
arrrghhhyea 7 days for quickgps data16:43
arrrghhhbut the newer the data the better.16:43
stinebdwe should call the waaaahmbulance and bring in the cryer department16:43
hamagcpsh who even makes phone calls on their phones these days?16:43
arrrghhhstinebd: i don't get that many important phone calls, but it seems everyone wants to f-ing call me when i'm testing android.16:43
wladstonphone calls work great for me16:44
arrrghhhstupid murphy and his laws.16:44
arrrghhhwladston: you don't use your phone much as a phone then eh :P16:44
hamagci never had too many issues with calls16:44
hamagcand i got alot of calls in android16:44
*** JesusFreak316 has joined #xdandroid16:44
arrrghhhhamagc: seriously?!?  i've had tons of issues, on both my raph and rhod.  i just avoid phone calls like the plage.16:45
arrrghhhplague16:45
wladstonI never had a single issue with calls16:45
arrrghhhyou must not take or make many calls.16:46
arrrghhhi've seen more cdma guys complain, but some gsm guys have too.16:46
wladstonhumm16:46
hamagconce in a while it would flake out on me but for the most part (other than screen lag) i never had any real issues16:46
JesusFreak316I never had any issues with my Raph for the month I used it before switching back to a cumbphone.16:46
arrrghhhi hope stine's ril wrapper magic works.  he doesn't seem too thrilled about it tho :P16:46
hamagconce the sound was fixed. lol originally i couldn't hear anyone16:46
JesusFreak316*dumbphone*16:47
stinebdril wrapper is probably a dead end16:48
arrrghhheh android has been relegated to testing only for me.  can't really run it for any extended periods of time.16:48
arrrghhhbah.16:48
arrrghhhthat sucks.16:48
Aksarrrghhh: I had a fully functional phone on android16:48
wladstondumb question, how can I figure out with is the revision of the code ?  I'm trying to see all the changes from pre-frx02 ( netloc working) to now (netloc broken)16:48
wladston*what is16:49
arrrghhhAks: had?16:49
hamagci'm not sure anything changed that regards netloc unless google changes something in their gapps.16:50
hamagcnetloc if i am not mistaken is run by the ril and the apk16:50
wladstonwe can always check the diffs for the apk16:50
hamagcthe ril hasn't changed until recently with people playing with it, but i don't think any changes have been pushed16:50
wladstonhamagc: what is a ril ?16:50
hamagcthats the radio interface layer16:51
wladstonhumm16:51
hamagcthats what makes our phones talk with the networks16:51
wladstonright16:51
hamagcwe use a hacked version for our devices16:51
JesusFreak316Ah, never knew what it stood for but figured it was something like that via context. :)16:51
stinebdnot hacked at all :P16:51
hamagcseeing as no mfg has made one specific for us16:51
stinebdcustom made by phh16:51
phhwhat have i broken ?16:51
stinebdril16:51
wladstonokay, so let's check wether the apk changed16:51
phhah right16:51
phhas usual16:51
hamagcoh ya, a custom one from phh16:51
phhmost of the ril isn't from me16:52
phhit's from vogue16:52
stinebdthe good parts are from you16:52
hamagcisn't it hacked from vogue16:52
stinebdeverything with AT+ at the beginning16:52
hamagcguess thats my answer16:52
phhlol.16:52
hamagcdzo? made the ril for vogue and phh adapted it for us, right?16:52
stinebdand dzo got most of it from reference16:53
stinebd:P16:53
phhhamagc: something like that16:53
phhstinebd: true16:53
hamagclol16:53
Aksarrrghhh: I overwrote with frx002 w/o taking a bkup16:53

wladstonI have a dreamhost account with unlimited bandwidth16:56
stinebdugh dreamhost16:57
stinebdno thanks16:57
stinebdyou find out real quick there that unlimited bandwidth doesn't really mean that16:57
stinebdi've heard too many stories about people having some blog post take off on slashdot and dreamhost invoking the "do no damage to others" clause in their AUP and terminating immediately16:58
wladstonwoa16:59
wladstonI'm sure it can take about 100GB/month at least17:00
stinebdwe exceeded 300GB in a matter of roughly 5 days17:01
wladston!!!17:01
wladstonwho is hosting you ?17:01
stinebdwe have donated space and pipes from xland.cz17:01
arrrghhhdamn czechs17:02
stinebdthe big files go on there17:02
arrrghhhfor some reason my work proxy blocks it :P17:02
stinebdthe sites go on my personal server17:02
wladstonhum, ok17:02
wladston I guess it's safe to take the image from pre-frx02 and boot it to test netloc17:03
wladstonright ?17:03
stinebdyes17:03
wladstonok17:03
wladstonwill do now17:03
Akswladston take the BLAZN also ... thats what I had on mine17:04
stinebdwe don't support blazn17:04
Aksok17:04
arrrghhhindeed.17:04
arrrghhhblazn is behind currently as well17:04
* wladston doesn't know what blazn is17:04
arrrghhhreef's got some work to do catchin up17:04
arrrghhhwladston: custom build from an individual.17:04
wladstonahn, ok17:05
stinebdwhat exactly does he change anyway?17:05
arrrghhhhe themes it17:05
arrrghhhremoves 'bloatware' as he calls it17:05
arrrghhhand adds some apps17:05
arrrghhhlauncherpro17:05
arrrghhhsome media manager17:05
arrrghhhoh yea and put's an oc in the startup.17:05
wladstonlauncherpro ? he also had to change keys too then17:05
wladstonoc ?17:06
stinebdyeah i knew about overclocking17:06
arrrghhhoverclock.17:06
wladstonright17:06
wladstonI think my device gets unstable on oc17:06
wladstonmight be just back luck17:06
stinebdhell, they're usually unstable even without it17:06
arrrghhheh kinda the nature of overclocking.17:06
emwelol stinebd17:07
wladston:)17:07
* wladston boots :)17:10
stinebdfair warning, if it works in pre-frx02 i probably won't fix it in frx02 anyway17:11
*** NeoMatrixJR has quit IRC17:11
stinebdmostly due to lack of knowledge17:11
Aksdoes the frx002 support oc ?17:11
wladstonstinebd: sure, I'll try to look into it17:11
wladstonstinebd: any change the rootfs could have introduced the bug ?17:12
stinebdno17:12
JesusFreak316By netloc you mean cell tower location, right?17:13
wladstonJesusFreak316: yup17:15
stinebdnew gapps package (and new mirror of the week)17:15
JesusFreak316Just making sure.17:15
hamagcAks: yes, all systems support overclocking, but stability is another beast.17:16
emwestinebd: when having apps installed on boot from AndroidApps, are they becoming user or system apps? are they updatetable/deletable in market?17:16
hamagcupdateable yes17:16
hamagcdeletable i don't know17:17
stinebduser apps (installed in /data)17:17
emwei recall them not being deletable. might be wrong memory though17:17
stinebdif you delete them, they'll be reinstalled on next boot17:17
emweyah, but i can uninstall via regular android-means, right?17:17
stinebdprobably17:17
emwekk thx17:17
hamagcalso if you update them, it will only update them in /data. not in androidapps17:17
stinebdbut they'll be reinstalled again anyway17:17
JesusFreak316What if you delete it from androidapps also?17:17
hamagcso if you refresh your data.img, you'll lose updates17:17
emwestinebd: yah, unless i drop them from the folder. that was known ;)17:18
hamagcif you delete from androidapps and not /data, it will stay installed until you unintall it17:18
emweof course. yes.17:18
emwe;)17:18
hamagcif you uninstall and delete it'll be gone lol17:18
JesusFreak316Thought so.17:18
emwewas always unsure about that installed once, never uninstallable.17:19
*** L_miller has quit IRC17:19
JesusFreak316Was that an isuue once upon a time past? I think I remember it.17:19
JesusFreak316Maybe in the squashfs days?17:20
hamagcnot that i know of17:21
JesusFreak316Actually, I think I was thinking of preloaded apps in the system.17:21
hamagcpreloaded apps are different.17:23
wladstonI think the boot here stalled .... still on the animation17:24

Aksarrrghhh: right .. sometimes wors tho17:31
arrrghhhnot sure what you mean Aks .17:31
* wladston resets the boot and tries again17:32
Aksoh ... sometimes works17:33
arrrghhhok?17:33
Aksya ok17:33
arrrghhhlol.17:33
Aksat least when it works its very clear17:34
Aks:P17:34
arrrghhhyou make my brain hurt.17:34
arrrghhhwhat do you want?17:34
arrrghhhi'm not sure if you have a question, or if you're just rambling :P17:34
Aksi m not sure too :P17:35
arrrghhhwell then.  i'll go with 'rambling'.17:35
Akssure :P17:35
Aksi m working on 3 diff things at the same time17:36
arrrghhhare you doing any one of them well?17:36
emwestinebd: what's the reason that when i interchange an official build - e.g. FRX02 - with a customer built one but reuse the data.img?17:37
stinebdESYNTAX17:37
emwe(reason of failure to resuse the "old" data image)17:37
*** dj6out has joined #xdandroid17:37
stinebddefine customer built one?17:38
emwemy own build17:38
stinebdkeys17:38
wladstonemwe: what happens ? the boot keeps on forever ?17:38
wladstonemwe: I'm not getting a boot with the older image17:38
emwewladston: yap. when watching logcat it restarts the android process17:38
wladstonohhh... I'll boot back to windows, delete the image, and try again17:39
stinebdyour build is presumably using the test keys, our official builds use production keys17:39
emwestinebd: so if i'd use the production keys i'd be fine? because i slowly start hating screwing the data.img and starting from scratch.17:39
wladstonanother thing pals .. where did you all get the plastic protector for the screen on the device ?17:39
stinebdproduction keys are private btw (by design)17:40
wladstonstinebd: we have real keys ?17:40
stinebdyes17:40
emwewladston: official htc from ebay. bought two others for testing but haven't tried them yet.17:40
arrrghhhwladston: there's a ton of sites.  i had one from 'bodyguardz' that was pretty sweet.17:40
wladstonI have one, but I feel like it's too heavy17:41
wladstonand doesn't feel good on the finger nor stylus17:41
wladstonwill try the official one17:42
emwei think it's ok. not using any phone suit/case itself. it has a good scratch resistance imho.17:42
wladstonwith android, the phone deserves it :)  ... will try to re-use the one it came with before ... if anyone got hints on that please pm me :)17:42
hamagcbah, i'm a fan of zagg17:43
arrrghhhzagg, never heard of 'em.17:43
arrrghhhi bought this one from some touchpro2 specific site thinking it would be awesome.17:44
arrrghhhthe screen still feels ok, but the protector is atrocious.17:44
arrrghhhoh the ubuntu forums.... "Are Ubuntu Server Edition and LAMP the same thing? If not, which would be better for a beginner? Thanks"17:48
wladstonlol17:48
wladstonpoor beginners17:48
wladstonI would reply, yes. Get the ubuntu server edition.17:49
arrrghhheh, i think i poked them in the right direction.  like use ubuntu-desktop lol.17:49
wladstonyeah, sure :)17:49
arrrghhhLOL no.  there's no way i'm going to tell someone to install that if they don't know the difference between lamp and ubuntu server.17:49
arrrghhhjust like those posts i always see "why does my server boot up into DOS?"17:49
arrrghhhugh, makes me cringe.17:49
wladstonLOOOOLLL17:49
wladstonstinebd: finally managed to boot into that image17:50
wladstonstinebd: but, there is just the browser and the calculator in it17:50
wladstonI can't even get the shell to check for the presence of the apk17:52
wladstonbut, it's not working.17:52
hamagcwtf arrrghhh?17:53
hamagcnever heard of zagg?17:53
arrrghhhwladston: sometimes not all apps show up.  reboot again, or do a long press on the home screen17:53
arrrghhhtry to add apps like that17:53
hamagcinvisible shield?17:53
arrrghhhhamagc: nope... should i?17:53
hamagczomg it's amazing!17:53
arrrghhhbetter than bodyguardz?17:53
hamagcbest imho17:53
arrrghhhthose guys put their crap thru the most ridiculous testing.17:53
arrrghhhthey took this car key17:53
arrrghhhand TRIED to shove it thru17:53
wladstonarrrghhh: that did it, thanks!17:53
hamagclol carkey17:53
arrrghhhcouldn't do it.17:53
hamagci used a steak knife to scratch mine17:54
arrrghhhlol17:54
hamagcbarely made a mark17:54
arrrghhhwell17:54
arrrghhhi'm sure it would go thru the plastic17:54
arrrghhhit is just plastic isn't it?17:54
hamagcbut ya they have all those tests too17:54
wladstonlaunching maps ...17:54
hamagci dunno. like a strechy plastic17:54
arrrghhheh17:54
arrrghhhsounds like bodyguardz17:54
arrrghhhbut more $$$17:54
hamagcthe ads have them using keys and screwdrivers and all kinds of stuff17:54
arrrghhh:P17:54
wladstonwoa17:54
hamagclet me link you17:54
wladstonworks!17:55
arrrghhhhamagc: i'm there17:55
arrrghhhno need.17:55
hamagcoh ok17:55
hamagci highly recommend. i have it on my phone, g/f's phone, friends phones17:55
arrrghhhhamagc: lol they're the same price.17:55
wladston:/17:55
hamagci started with just the screen but ended up with the full body17:55
wladstonworked for like a second17:55
wladstonthen it located me back in africa17:56
hamagci have dropped my phone more times than i can could and not a scratch anywhere on the phone itself17:56
arrrghhhwladston: you have it enabled in loc&sec right?17:56
arrrghhhyea i'm not sure i like the full body protection.17:56
arrrghhhit was nice at first... but it very quickly became a burden.  the little tiny pieces would come off.17:56
JesusFreak316I remember a while back both Winmo and Android said I was in New Jersey when I live in Florida. Wifi location though.17:56
arrrghhhwell wifi loc is based on your IP.  which we all know isn't always accurate.17:57
hamagcall of my pieces have stayed on for me17:57
arrrghhhmy work's IP is shown as some place in mexico on one site, and lakewood on another.17:57
wladstonhe is locating me at 00 00 00, 00 00 0017:57
hamagchas a lifetime warranty too lol17:57
wladstonclearly no location data17:57
arrrghhhwladston: well that sounds like gps put you out there.17:57
wladstonwhere does the maps locate you ?17:57
arrrghhhwladston: make sure you disable gps17:57
wladstonhummm ok17:57
arrrghhhwladston: at first it puts me out there, until my gps gets a lock.  keep in mind, netloc has never and probably will never work for me.17:58
wladston(why would gps give this location ? that driver needs a little love ) :)17:58
arrrghhhno17:59
arrrghhh0,0,0 is the 'default'.17:59
wladstonnow it gets my location17:59
arrrghhhuntil it gets a lock.17:59
wladstongoogle maps on winmo uses gps too17:59
wladstonbut it never located me on africa17:59
arrrghhhdon't use winmo as the benchmark dude :P18:00
arrrghhhwhen you first install google maps on winmo it puts you in san francisco.18:00
arrrghhhso what now :P18:00
wladstonno, i'm not using it as the benchmark - I'm just saying that we can avoid this bejavior18:01
arrrghhhwe can?18:01
arrrghhhwell it seems the gps radio puts out 0's when it doesn't know where you are.18:01
wladstonthis special case should be considered18:01
arrrghhhso i guess if there's something we could do to prevent it showing the location until it gets something other than 0's.18:01
wladstonyeah!18:01
arrrghhheh18:01
wladstonthat's it18:01
arrrghhhagain18:01
arrrghhhgrand scheme of things18:01
arrrghhhthis is MINOR18:01
arrrghhhif you feel like fixin it tho18:02
arrrghhhi'm sure people would be happy lol.18:02

arrrghhhwladston: is there something you do know how to start on...?18:03
wladstonI'd definetively prefer camera18:03
arrrghhhwell start where you feel comfortable.18:03
wladstonwell, this location thing18:03
wladstonI don't know18:03
wladstonbut at least it's within my confort zone18:03
arrrghhhi'm comfortable with about nothing, hence the reason i try to help around the forums & the sea of n00bs.18:03

hamagci know i need to take mine back to get it replaced18:14
hamagcthey say if you scratch it they will replace it for free18:14
hamagcif you get a new phone, take the old shield off the old phone and bring it in with your new phone and they will replace it for free18:15
arrrghhhbring it in?18:16
arrrghhhi didn't realize 'the internet' was a retail store :P18:17

arrrghhhis it a third party cell phone sales place or an actual 'zagg' store?18:18
hamagci installed my screen one and said fthat, i let them install the rest lol18:18
hamagcnot so much a store, more like a pagoda thingy, but it's all zagg18:18
arrrghhhlol18:18
hamagclast time i got my g/f the full body, they gave us free headphones. nice ones at that18:18
arrrghhhyea looks like there's one in broomfield & park meadows.18:18
arrrghhhfor $24?18:19
hamagcit was like $30 for the case itself and like 10 to have them install it18:19
hamagcwas pretty cheap imo18:19
arrrghhhyou paid $10 to have them install...?18:19
hamagcya18:19
arrrghhhman.18:19
hamagcthey did a damn good job at it too18:19
arrrghhhi thought $14.95 was a little outrageous for a screen protector.18:20
hamagclol18:20
arrrghhhbut if you're willing to pay $10 to have someone install it, maybe i'm the crazy one.  oy.18:20
hamagcthis wasn't just the screen though, it's the full body18:20
arrrghhheven still.18:20
hamagcand those things are a bi1tch to put on18:20
arrrghhheh, not if you take your time18:20
hamagcwhich i absolutely suck at lol18:20
hamagcit reminded me of tinting my car18:21
*** zycho_ has quit IRC18:22
hamagcehh, i figured if i'm going to spend 100-200 on a new phone, i can afford the 30 or 40 to get a good protector on it lol18:23
hamagci can't wait to get the new phone now and take the shield off of this one to see what it looks like before i sell it18:23
arrrghhhhaha18:23
* arrrghhh is a cheap bastard18:24
hamagclol looks like we're set a spark under the camera gods a$$18:24
arrrghhhi got both my tp1 & tp2 for free lol18:24

Akssaying that now you can get high and then coem to office :P18:40
wladstonarrrghhh: so ?18:40
hamagcyou can get drunk and come to the office too18:40
arrrghhhwladston: so do you have the SDK for Android installed?18:40
Aksn no one can say anything abt it18:40
wladstonarrrghhh: nope18:40
hamagcif your company has drug policies in place, you can't do crap18:40
Akswhat abt the drug tests all companies need you to take before hiring you ...18:40
Aksthinhk they will go out the door too18:41
hamagcif you can drink before work, you can smoke before you. if you get fired for drinking, you'll get fired for smoking18:41
arrrghhhwladston: need to get that extracted somewheres.18:41
wladstonarrrghhh:  http://developer.android.com/sdk/ ? getting it18:41
arrrghhhyessir18:41
hamagcno drug tests are drug tests. just means that pot won't be such an issue anymore. they still will test for it, just like alcohol and coke and speed and herion.18:41
hamagcthats what i don't get with these ads18:42
Akshmm ... bummer18:42
arrrghhhwladston: here's some ubuntu-specific directions once you get that up. http://androidcommunity.com/forums/320430-post3.html - what distro do you use?  that may not apply to anything _but_ ubuntu, not sure.18:42
wladstonarrrghhh: will I need the ecplipse plugin too ?18:42
hamagcthey say you can smoke before driving a school bus and no one will be able to do anytihng18:42
arrrghhhwladston: i didn't.18:42
wladstonok18:42
hamagcbut it's goign to be controled just like alcohol and last i remember, you weren't allowed to drink before driving a bus lol18:42
wladstonI'll get that later18:42
stinebdot... arrrghhh and wladston are working on something18:43
hamagcsorry18:43
arrrghhhyea, we've gotta get our newest dev up to speed!18:43
arrrghhh:D18:43
hamagclol let me know if you need me for anything18:43
arrrghhheh adb on linux (for me at least) was pretty easy following that post.18:43
wladston:)18:43
wladstonthanks18:43
Aksyep ... anyways ... time to go home 101 looks ok as of now18:44
arrrghhhi didn't add it to my $PATH, that would make things easier on me.18:44

arrrghhhmixed in with the drug chat :P18:44

arrrghhhhttp://androidcommunity.com/forums/320430-post3.html18:45
arrrghhhwhat distro are you running?18:45
wladstongreat18:45
wladstonthat looks simple18:45
wladstonubuntu 10.1018:45
arrrghhhperfect.18:45
arrrghhhthat should work out just fine then.18:45
arrrghhhonce you download & extract the sdk18:45
arrrghhhdo what is says in that post18:45
arrrghhhthen you need to start the adb server by going to the tools directory, and doing a "./adb start-server"18:46
arrrghhhthen you should be good to do a "./adb logcat"18:46
hamagcjeez, that seems so much easier on windows lol18:46
arrrghhhhamagc: it is...18:46
arrrghhh:P18:46
arrrghhhand it doesn't blow up every time something changes with the drivers haha18:47

stinebdi'm wondering wtf is wrong with my code to generate a gapps ota update between 20101020.1 and 20101025, because it's generating an empty ota file19:26
stinebdturns out they're exactly the same except for the removed tarball that they mistakenly had in 20101020.119:26
wladstonhehe :)19:27

hamagci'm thinking adb logcat -d?19:29
emwestinebd: will let yo know tomorrow. i think i saw it. just screwed my panel code. can't tell you visibly ;)19:30
wladstonstinebd: just to let you know19:30
wladstonnetloc isn't broken19:30
wladstonit's just that whenever gps is on, it will pass zeroed coordinates, even indoor19:30
wladstonand those will override netloc19:31
wladstonstinebd: fixing the gps not to pass coordinates till it has a fix is something I think I could do19:32

emweyap19:35
emweyou can constrain by TAG and log level19:35
emwewladston: experience with eclipse? you can add the adt eclipse plugin and could have a somewhat more conformatable debug expierience at least logging wise19:36
emwedunno if remote debugging is of any help for you19:36
emwe(when debugging camera)19:36
wladstonit probably is19:36
wladstongoing to follow the rest of that tutorial and get myself eclipse set up19:37
emwewill also have to do the udev thing in that adb setup tutorial. always have to sudo here. that is a pita .)19:37
