arrrghhhwladston, you have a rhod100 yes?01:11
wladstonyes01:11
* wladston works on the getting started guide01:11
wladstonanything you need testing on ?01:11
arrrghhhwell01:13
arrrghhhthere are some guys in the xda forums with rhod100's that aren't able to boot01:13
arrrghhhhave you tried the newest kernel?01:13
wladstonhummm wait01:14
wladstonI don't know ...01:15
wladstonlet me try the newest01:15
wladstonzImage_20101031_215910, right ?01:16
arrrghhhyes01:16
* wladston boots01:17
wladstonarrrghhh: i've been checking dude ... the RHOD100 is almost equals to the htc desire z hardware01:17
wladstononly diff is the multitouch and the faster clock01:18
wladstonalso, newest has no front camera and no extra rear mute button01:18
* wladston is already on animation01:18
wladstonI booted dude01:19
wladstonno problems01:19
arrrghhhweird01:19
wladstonthey should probly have a wrong startup.txt01:19
arrrghhhi'm betting it is startup problems then01:19
arrrghhhyea01:19
arrrghhhthat's what i've been sayin to them... but i looked @ their startup, didn't see anything odd...01:19
wladstonhummm01:20
wladstonarght01:20
wladstoncrashed on start01:20
wladstonlet me cat it on the terminal01:20
arrrghhhhrm i think they were all halting on boot01:21
arrrghhhwhat is your mtype?01:21

arrrghhhi don't know what these peoples are doing wrong01:23
arrrghhhseveral rhod100 peoples tho01:23
arrrghhhboth rhod100_uk and rhod100_de01:24
wladstonarrrghhh: weird ....01:24
wladstonmine is us I guess01:24
arrrghhhi'm assuming that's just a keymap difference tho01:24
wladstonyeah, should be01:24
wladstonyou should probably ask then to open the device and take a picture from the back01:24
arrrghhheveryone is saying it fails to even get past haret...01:24
wladstonto confirm it's a RHOD10001:24
arrrghhhwell if they revert to 10/23 kernel it boots01:24
wladstonhummmmm01:25
wladstonthen there is something wrong with the kernel 4 sure01:25
wladstonweird that it worked for me01:25
arrrghhhnewest commit is for blackstone01:25
arrrghhhso 10/30 should be fine.01:25
wladstonare you sure they are using htc-msm-linux-20101031_215910-package.tar.bz2 ?01:26
arrrghhhhrm01:27
arrrghhhwell i haven't tested anyone with the newest 10.3101:27
arrrghhhbut 10.30 yes01:28
wladstonyou want me to test 10.30 too ?01:28
arrrghhhthey're all having issues with the autobacklight i guess...01:28

wladstonI'm back to windows mobile. whenever I try to make a call now, it works for about 1 or 2 seconds, then the phone goes off, and then the device suddenly shuts down. any ideas ?11:15
Xeeshuwladston: Did you tried the soft reset?11:18
wladstonyeah11:18
XeeshuMay be it fixes the issue...11:18
wladston(pressing the reset button on the side of the device, right ? )11:19
XeeshuWhat device do you have?11:19
wladstona RHOD10011:19
XeeshuEh! no idea about that11:19
* Xeeshu just joined this channel11:19
wladstonyeah11:20
* Xeeshu thought this is for XDA's11:20
wladstonI've tried already about 5 times11:20
wladstonon each time the same thing happens11:20
*** TheDeadCPU has joined #xdandroid11:20
wladstonon #htc-linux they advised to hard reset11:23
wladstonbut me don't want to!!!!!11:23
wladston:D11:23
*** Xeeshu has left #xdandroid11:25
TheDeadCPUDo a hard reset.11:27
wladstonTheDeadCPU: hard reset == no contacts, programs, task list gone, calendar gone, settings gone, program settings/history gone .... it will take me hours to get it all back11:28
TheDeadCPULol sync to your google account11:29
wladstonTheDeadCPU: it just syncs the calendar11:29
wladstonoh, it syncs contacts too11:29
TheDeadCPUnope11:29
wladstonnice11:29
TheDeadCPUContacts, Calendar, Tasks :p11:30
wladstonTasks ?!?!!?11:30
wladstonwoa11:30
wladstongreat11:30
NeoMatrixJRTheDeadCPU: Tasks? how do you get tasks?  I added springpad for tasks11:32
TheDeadCPUWell. I'm pretty sure there is task syncing to exchange servers.11:32
TheDeadCPU(Your google account is an exchange server)11:32
NeoMatrixJRwladston: get TitaniumBackup.  Backup apps and settings, restore easy.  Then all u gotta do is plug in your accounts when you reboot (and enable "unknown sources" per TB's instructions)11:33
NeoMatrixJRTheDeadCPU: yes, but what app does tasks?11:33
TheDeadCPUdunno11:33
stinebdjonpry told you to flash hardspl, not hard reset11:33
wladstonthose aren't the same ?11:33
stinebdno11:33
* wladston search flash hardspl11:33
stinebdhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=44800811:34
NeoMatrixJR~apt hardspl11:34
NeoMatrixJRoh, wrong channel **hardspl11:35
NeoMatrixJRok, nevermind11:35
wladstonstinebd: I have flashed a hardspl about 1 year ago ... to update to winmo 6.511:36
NeoMatrixJRany reason system_server would be running 95+% of my CPU?11:36
stinebdflashing hardspl again tends to fix issues in device firmwares11:36
wladstonright11:36
stinebdfor instance, wistilt2 bricked microp while working on rhodium leds. he had to flash hardspl to get microp working again.11:36
wladstonhummm interesting ... what is microp ?11:37
NeoMatrixJRInteresting news for CDMA TP2 owners the other day.  Seems someone in WinMo land DID manage to get the FM chip working.  It's a hack right now with issues so it's unreleased, but the hardware DOES work!11:38
*** Ashar has quit IRC11:40
NeoMatrixJRoh and for the winmo side get spb backup.  as long as you're re-flashing the same rom it should restore everything, although I admit I haven't used it.11:43
wladstonwell, it works on android11:43
wladstonI think this forces me to keep using android till I have more time to deal with the hardspl flash11:44

Fusion1Anyone knows a bit about that OTA update feature ?11:55
Fusion1im unable to update xdandroid thru the statup util, and since i dont know how xdandroid works, unable to update my current version11:56
Fusion1i understand there's the rootfs, then the system FRX02.. is there any other files that need to be updated ?11:56
Fusion1then the zImages and modules.. kinda confused on what do i really need/want to update11:59
*** hamagc has joined #xdandroid12:00
wladstonFusion1: OTA was completed 2 days ago12:00
wladstonI guess it's not available yet12:00
wladstonFusion1: to update to FRX02 just get its image.ext, along with the newewst zImage and rootfs, put that on andboot and viola12:01
wladston*voila12:01
NeoMatrixJRFusion1: don't forget you'll have to wipe you data.img if you're updating to FRX02.  It will build a new one, but it's the equivalent of a hard-reset.12:02
NeoMatrixJRI recommend titanium backup for android if you want to save your stuff12:02
wladstonstinebd: now that you are here, I wanted permission to created a new wiki page, as an introduction help for new developers that don't know much about android development ( like me )12:03
wladstonstinebd: is it ok ?12:03
wladstonstinebd: hopefully it will help the project get new patches from the outer space12:04
Fusion1data.img contains ?12:10
Fusion1i dont care much about starting up clean12:10
wladstonuser data12:11
Fusion1How do i find how which version of the kernel im currently running12:11
Fusion1can i see from android ?12:11
wladstonuse the terminal emulator12:11
wladstonon dev tools -> terminal12:11

wladstonI think uname should work (never tried tho)12:12
Fusion1uname says linux.12:12
wladston$ uname -a12:12
stinebdwladston: go ahead and create it, but don't link it anywhere. then show me what the finished product is and we'll talk.12:13
wladstonstinebd: great, will do12:13
stinebdit's not a matter of can you or should you, more a matter of where we should link it from12:13
stinebdand if it12:14
wladstonstinebd: sure :)12:14
stinebdand if it's comprehensive, be sure to use sections a lot so we can link to different sections from different articles12:14
wladstonsure! I'm a wiki editor too12:14

wladstonFusion1: that's your kernel12:16
*** Mistro_ has joined #xdandroid12:17
Mistro_hey guys, just wondering if I could ask a question about building xdandroid here12:19
Fusion1wladston, rootfs is the kernel ? or there's other files that are part of the kernel also12:20
Fusion1how can i identify which one i currenly have installed from that number, from http://files.xdandroid.com/rootfs/ ?12:21
Fusion1i dont see any reference to 01212 or ge59fdaf12:21
wladstonFusion1: kernel12:28
wladstonFusion1: and those are the rootfs12:28
wladstonrootfs != kernel12:28
Fusion1okay12:28
wladstonyou are safe to replace the kernel and rootfs with newer ones12:28
wladstonwon't affect you12:29
Fusion1kernel is which files ?12:29
*** g3rm has joined #xdandroid12:29
Fusion1the image.ext and zImage ?12:29
*** kalemas has left #xdandroid12:41
Mistro_quick question, so I was following the guide for building the zImage, but when doing it I get the following error:12:45
Mistro_make: *** No rule to make target `out/target/product/generic/obj/lib/librpc.so', needed by `out/target/product/generic/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libhardware_legacy_intermediates/LINKED/libhardware_legacy.so'.  Stop.12:45
Mistro_i made sure i have all the build config as specified, and all required libraries installed on the build system... any ideas?12:45
Mistro_One thing I noticed is that even if i set the target to be full_msn, it still gets outputted as generic before the build starts12:46
emweMistro: sh ./build/envsetup.sh ?12:48
emweMistro_: just a guess..12:49
Mistro_yea, i checked in there. There's one part that forces it to be generic, I've tried changing that to be msm but no luck12:53
Mistro_export TARGET_PRODUCT=generic   changed to   export TARGET_PRODUCT=full_msm12:54
stinebdexport?12:54
stinebdyou should be using buildspec.mk12:54
Mistro_yup, it's set in there as well, i tried changing envsetup.sh after it doesn't seem to read from buildspec.mk12:54
Mistro_made a copy of the .default and added the parameters as specified on the wiki guide, including "TARGET_PRODUCT:=full_msm"12:55
stinebdis that exactly how you wrote it?12:55
Mistro_basically copied and pasted from teh wiki, yes12:56
stinebdwell you did something wrong then12:56
stinebdbecause copying and pasting verbatim will make it work12:56
stinebdyou don't even need to make a copy of the default12:56
stinebdjust paste all that into an empty buildspec.mk in aosp root and you're done12:56
Mistro_hm, lemme try with an empty one12:57
Mistro_AHH12:57
Mistro_aosp root?12:57
Mistro_ok that could be it... mine's still in the build folder12:57
Mistro_:)12:57
stinebdSimply create a blank plain-text file in the root of your XDAndroid source tree. Name the file buildspec.mk and edit it with your preferred text editor.12:57
Mistro_awesome, let me give that a shot thanks12:57
stinebdpeople really have short attention spans these days. anything not written in list form gets ignored :P12:59
Mistro_haha yea i skimmed over the part that said "in the root of your XDAndroid source tree" :$13:00
Mistro_i just looked for buildspec and assumed it should go in the same place as the .default lol13:00
Mistro_ok seems to be going now, thanks stinebd!13:00

grotonjust an easy question: does xdandroid supports DIAM100? i would really like to run android on it :)16:38
arrrghhhyup16:40
grotonok. I just downloaded a bunch of files from internet like: modules-2.6.27.46-01215-g0d9a989.tar.gz , haret-0.5.2.zip , rootfs-20101029-2f5744a.zip , htc-msm-linux-20101031_215910-package.tar.bz2 , xdandroid.2.2.aosp.frx01.17.09.10.update_package .... but i am not sure how to keep track of all the changes... is there a page listing a complete package where to download an android version for diam100?16:44
arrrghhhlol16:45
arrrghhhdid you check the DIAM section of XDA?16:45
arrrghhhthere's a lot to learn with this project.16:46
grotonyes, it requires a lot of time to get it right :) What is the DIAM section of XDA? Up to know, i found this two useful links: http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Downloads and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=71169216:47
grotons/know/now16:47
arrrghhhdid you not notice that second link?16:49
arrrghhhyou're in the touchpro section of xda-devs with that second link.16:49
arrrghhhwhere did you find those links?!?16:49
arrrghhhi'm always baffled at how people find stuff for this projects, but can't find stuff for their device.16:50

g3rmbut i'm no expert here... ask stinebd :)18:16
arrrghhhjust seems like 15mb file would do more than just kb layout when a 1.6mb file does basically all driver support :P18:16

wladstonarrrghhh: from what I've seen, everything the build "uses" is defined there18:24

wladston what is the AndroidBoard.mk file ? is it the equivalent to the Android.mk file they cite on the docs ?18:52
*** emwe has quit IRC18:55
wladstonarrrghhh: I would like some help googling19:04
arrrghhh?19:05
wladstonall build seen to have an AndroidBoard.mk file19:05
wladstonhowever, there is no documentation about that file19:05
wladstonI can't find what is it for anywhere19:05
wladstonIt looks very much like definitions that get called whenever the board it belongs to get called19:06
arrrghhhi don't know what the file is either...19:07
wladstonyeah , but we ( I ) need to figure it out19:07
wladstonany suggestions ?19:07
arrrghhhfor what tho?19:07
arrrghhhit seems like something that's only in 'normal' android builds.19:08
wladstonarrrghhh: yeah .. because I want to make a good documentation19:10
arrrghhhbut if it's not in our build...19:10
arrrghhhprobably shouldn't be part of our docs ;)19:10
wladstonyeah19:11
wladstonit's part of the "default" builds19:11
wladstonour build has it19:11
wladstonhtc build have it too19:11
arrrghhhseems like it's a vendor configuration file19:12
arrrghhhhttp://github.com/koush/android_vendor_google_passion/blob/eclair/AndroidBoard.mk19:12
wladstonwell, I'll just assume it's a "android board makefile"19:12
wladstonyeah, ours look a lot like this one19:13

Fusion1hello20:39
Fusion1can anyone help for a few to get the latest xdandroid running on my tp2 ?20:40
Fusion1:|20:40
wladstonFusion1: what is your problem ?20:43
wladstonkernel panic ?20:43
Fusion1no, i just dont know how to properly update my phone myself20:44
Fusion1i dont know which files i need, and what's the procedure to follow20:44
wladstonahn20:45
wladstonok20:45
wladstonhttp://sites.google.com/site/androidport/downloads20:46
wladstoncab file didn't work for me20:46
wladstonso I'd suggest you try the rar20:46
Fusion1same here, didnt work for me either20:46
Fusion1but it's been a while since its been updated20:46
Fusion1i just saw a few minutes ago he added the reference build20:47
Fusion1but i wonder if the blazn build would be better20:47
Fusion1im gonna try the reference for now20:47
Fusion1so if someone wants to build his own stuff, the 'kitchen' is needed right20:48
*** arrrghhh_ is now known as arrrghhh20:48
arrrghhhreference is probably best to start with.20:49
arrrghhhthere's no kitchen... this isn't winmo my friend ;)20:49
wladstonthe rar file ? no, it has the lastest "release"20:50
wladstonbut if you want the LATEST, you'll have to build the source locally20:51
arrrghhhwladston, remember not everyone is a developer :P20:51
Fusion1from this page : http://sites.google.com/site/androidport/downloads20:51
Fusion1My Android builds come from the AOSP kitchen of Stinedb and the XDAndroid Kernel Developers.   I try to keep my OS builds as up to date as possible with the repo.  This is the same build as the famous babijoee's build for the TP, thanks to him for teaching me how to cook!  :)20:51
wladstonstinebd: I have a suggestion. why not move unzip-files.sh and setup-makefiles.sh, that are on the msm folder, to the msm/tools folder ?20:52
Fusion1this is why i said, kitchen :P20:52
wladstonstinebd: I think it would help organize the msm folder20:52
arrrghhhFusion1, well... i thought you were wanting to make your own builds.20:52
Fusion1arrrghhh, maybe he was wrong.. i don't know :)20:52
Fusion1AOSP kitchen of Stinedb - means ? :)20:52
arrrghhheh AOSP can be a kitchen lol20:52
Fusion1aosp is ?20:52
arrrghhhAOSP = android open source project20:53
Fusion1lol, thanks20:53
arrrghhhbasically the android base.20:53
Fusion1alright. sorry20:53
Fusion1okay so, i'll use the builds from that page20:53
arrrghhhno need to be sorry.20:53
Fusion1basically, i need to format and redownload and start from scratch each time right20:54
arrrghhhoh no20:54
wladstonarrrghhh: do you know if stinebd uses the free node message service ?20:54
wladstonarrrghhh: most of times I try to talk to him he is away20:54
arrrghhhFusion1, you can just update in pieces.  so you can update the zimage/modules and be just fine.20:54
arrrghhhwladston, not sure what that is...20:54
arrrghhhhe reads the logs tho20:54
arrrghhhif you have something pressing.20:54
wladstonahn, ok20:54
Fusion1arrrghhh, hey, the startup.txt and default.txt, are they generated by the startup utility or they are still needed ?20:54
arrrghhhstartup.txt is generated from the startup utility yes20:55
arrrghhhit is still needed if you don't use the utility.20:55
Fusion1zimage/modules is ALL that is  needed ?20:55
arrrghhhFusion1, no that's kernel updates.20:55
arrrghhhso there's also rootfs updates20:55
arrrghhhand VERY infrequent initrd updates.20:55
Fusion1what's contained in the rootfs20:55
arrrghhhoh and system base image updates.20:55
Fusion1yeah ive seen initrd has been the same for a whule20:55
Fusion1while20:55
arrrghhhFusion1, all sorts of stuff.  keyboard mapping and probably a lot of other stuff too.  why?20:56
Fusion1just wondering.. like to understand what im messing with.. just the basics, at least.20:56
arrrghhhhrm.20:56
arrrghhhare you compiling them?20:56
arrrghhhor just grabbing the compiled binaries?20:56
*** Mistro has quit IRC20:57
Fusion12nd choice20:57
arrrghhheh don't sweat it for the time being.20:58
arrrghhhwladston is trying to make a comprehensive guide20:58
Fusion1still wanted to understand a bit.. it crashes when i tried to update my stuff on the phone using the startup utility, a decompression error.. phone was unstable all day since20:58
arrrghhhbut it's not quite done20:58
arrrghhhand the technical bits aren't so important.20:58
arrrghhhFusion1, the update utility was updated to 1.3.1...20:58
Fusion1i think i'll start from scratch, for now. format, extract rar and i'll be fine20:58
Fusion1yeah20:58
arrrghhhi'd rather update manually myself, so i know what i'm updating to.20:58
Fusion1but 1.3.1 crashed while updating my stuff20:58
arrrghhhdunno.20:58
arrrghhhi don't use it.  ever.20:58
Fusion1and since, phone was funny.20:58
arrrghhhcan't really support it either.20:59
Fusion1true, understand that20:59
arrrghhhsov supports it, it's not officially part of XDAndroid.20:59
Fusion1that's why im trying to understand, when there's an update.. what do i need to update20:59
arrrghhhwell20:59
arrrghhhyou update the piece that needs updating :P20:59
arrrghhhsometimes it's a system image20:59
arrrghhhsometimes rootfs20:59
arrrghhhsometimes zimage/modules21:00
arrrghhhsometimes it's all three.21:00
Fusion1yeah, but how do i know, that there isnt any files relative to the update like config files that will prevent a good operation21:00
arrrghhhwell if there's a new kernel option for the startup you mean?21:00
Fusion1system image.. that's just a file also ?21:00
arrrghhhit'll mention it in the update.21:00
arrrghhhsystem.ext2 is the system image.21:00
Fusion1and that file is directly on the sd ?21:01
Fusion1ah.21:01
Fusion1k21:01
arrrghhhwhere you run haret.exe from.21:01
arrrghhhi have several builds on my sd.21:01
Fusion1and you specify diff. params to boot the one you want ?21:01
arrrghhhyea, i have a startup.txt for each21:01
Fusion1ok21:02
arrrghhhthey're complete builds on their own21:02
arrrghhhand then i just have them in different folders21:02
Fusion1so all the user config goes into data.img ?21:02
Fusion1what's that file for21:02
arrrghhhbasically21:02
arrrghhhyes21:02
Fusion1ok21:02
arrrghhhit's created on first boot21:02
arrrghhhall changes, apps, etc go in there.21:02
Fusion1so that file is always compatible thru the different kernel, modules, and diff updates ?21:02
Fusion1i can be backuped and restored to keep all the settings ?21:03
Fusion1apps.. um21:03
arrrghhhno21:03
arrrghhhit breaks quite frequently in fact21:03
Fusion1just wondering about what to keep to restore configs21:03
Fusion1k21:03
arrrghhh#1 troubleshooting step is deleting that file.21:03
arrrghhhi guess not always :P21:03
Fusion1so better off taking a few mins and restarting from scratch when there's updates21:03
Fusion1k21:03
arrrghhhbut quite often when something isn't working right, we ask people to delete it.21:03
Fusion1right21:03
arrrghhhyea you don't have to delete that file when you update21:03
arrrghhhnothing stopping you from trying21:04
Fusion1but it CAN cause issues21:04
arrrghhhjust be prepared to delete it.21:04
arrrghhhyup21:04
Fusion1the more issues i can stay away from, the better21:04
arrrghhhtitanium backup can take care of most of the things that need to be backed up when you blow that file away.21:04
wladstonarrrghhh: updated the guide, it now has a description for every file21:04
wladstonarrrghhh: http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Getting_started_XDAndroid_development21:04
arrrghhhschweet21:04
Fusion1titanium backup.. ok ! thanks arrrghhh21:04
arrrghhhnp21:05
* arrrghhh is a wealth of useful and useless knowledge.21:05
Fusion1why was always a format suggested for the sd card21:06
Fusion1a full format ? or a quick21:06
arrrghhhnot really sure tbh21:06
arrrghhhwell21:06
wladstonarrrghhh: the first part that needs help is the HaRET boot loader part.21:06
Fusion1just wondered if there was anything special there21:06
arrrghhhas long as you're not using the windows utility21:06
arrrghhhor winmo21:06
wladstonarrrghhh: if you know any of the missing info regarding the boot sequence21:06
arrrghhhi think the partition table gets hosed21:06
Fusion1im using the windows utility21:06
wladstonfill in21:06
arrrghhhand windows never touches it21:07
arrrghhhFusion1, don't.21:07
Fusion1why ?21:07
arrrghhhi just told you why.21:07
Fusion1it worked fine for me, so far21:07
arrrghhhit does work, but not always.21:07
Fusion1the partition table.. of the sd card ?21:07
arrrghhhyes21:07
Fusion1um.21:07
arrrghhhthat's my theory.21:07
Fusion1and what's good to use ?21:07
Fusion1a 3rd party app ?21:07
arrrghhhi like the hp storage format tool21:07
arrrghhhgparted is good if you use linux...21:07
Fusion1used it a lot, ok21:07
arrrghhhthere's others21:07
Fusion1i use the hp format tool daily for bios updates on usb sticks21:07
arrrghhhbasically anything but the windows utility.21:08
arrrghhhah21:08
arrrghhhthere you go.21:08
Fusion1fat32 is ok?21:08
arrrghhhyea, my theory is the partition table.  not sure why cards get screwed up & a format fixes 'em tho.  just had too many people complain that they formatted 15x and it still doesn't work, and then they use ANYTHING else and it's working.21:08
arrrghhhfat32 is the only way :P21:08
arrrghhhthere's some builds that require an ext2 partition21:08
arrrghhhbut you still have to have a fat32 partition.21:09
Fusion1what do you do for a living ?21:11
Fusion1work for android ? hehe21:11
* wladston is a computer science student21:11
arrrghhh... work for android?  really dude?21:12
* wladston wants21:12
arrrghhh1st, it'd be google.21:12
wladstonD:21:12
wladston:D21:12
Fusion1yeah21:12
arrrghhh2nd, i don't think any google employees that worked on android would help with this project.21:12
wladstonLOL21:12
arrrghhhalthough that would be amazing, there'd probably be a conflict of interest.21:12
Fusion1is it illegal in any way ?21:12
wladstonyeah21:12
arrrghhhwell21:13
wladstoni mean21:13
arrrghhhnot illegal21:13
wladstonkinda of21:13
Fusion1kind of grey i guess ?21:13
arrrghhhdepends on what the employee divulges i guess.21:13
wladstonnope, xdandroid is technically legal21:13
wladstonbut any complete distribution of it won't be21:13
wladstonbecause it uses proprietary software from other sources21:13
Fusion1even if not making a dime off it21:13
arrrghhhwladston, really?  because of the proprietary stuff?21:14
arrrghhhyea.21:14
arrrghhhdamn.21:14
wladstonthat have to be obtained at build time21:14
arrrghhhFusion1, htc doesn't sanction it :P21:14
wladstonbut xdandroid aline is 100% legal21:14
wladstonas far as I can tell21:14
wladston*alone21:14
arrrghhhand we just try to make due with what we can, which it sounds like there still is some proprietary stuff.21:14
wladstonFusion1: the htc touch pro2 has almost the exact same hardware as the newer android phones they are sellig21:15
Fusion1yeah21:15
Fusion1wondering why they didnt ship it with it then ?21:15
arrrghhhlol hardly.21:15
wladstonif people could just upgrade their old phones to android they wouldn't buy the new21:15
wladstonnot good for htc21:15
arrrghhhthere's only a couple of android phones with msm procs.21:15
wladstonarrrghhh: I mean hardware capability21:15
arrrghhhmost are qsd it seems.21:15
arrrghhhwhat do you mean?21:16
Fusion1videotron here has the nexus one21:16
Fusion1seems to be a nice phone21:16
Fusion1anyone has tried one of these ?21:16
arrrghhhyea, not even close to the tp2's hardware.21:16
arrrghhhFusion1, in what way?  just using it?21:16
Fusion1yeah21:16
arrrghhhyea21:16
Fusion1cpu isnt more powerful ?21:16
arrrghhhstinebd has one in fact.21:16
arrrghhhyea, it's qsd.21:16
Fusion1specs says its 1ghz21:16
arrrghhhlike 2x the processor of tp2 :P21:17

stinebdworth $53021:17
wladstonarrrghhh: I've been thinking about buying an android phone too21:17
Fusion1the tp2 has more bells and whisles ?21:17
arrrghhhFusion1, try less.21:17
stinebdit blows the TP2 out of the water21:17
Fusion1yeah21:17
arrrghhhbells & whilstes?  i thought we were talking hardware.21:17
arrrghhhlike processor, ram... internal memory21:18
arrrghhhscreen21:18
Fusion1k21:18
arrrghhhcamera21:18
wladstonstinebd: you're talking about snapdragon ?21:18
Fusion1so the nexus is better21:18

arrrghhhdmesg?21:27
wladstonI'd have to pay 495 bucks even loosing my tp221:27

arrrghhhevery time?21:28
Fusion1yep21:28
Fusion12 times now21:28
arrrghhhyou're using the reference build right?21:28
wladstonoh21:28
Fusion1havent had a chance to do anything on it21:28
Fusion1yes21:28
wladstonmine resets sometimes too21:28
arrrghhhhrm.21:28
arrrghhhdelete your data.img21:28
Fusion1reference that just has been posted on the project android site21:28
arrrghhhtry again :P21:28
Fusion1started from scratch21:28
arrrghhhdid he post a new build?21:28
wladstonarrrghhh: the GREATEST problem in using the build on production is the lack of service21:28
wladstonsometimes it will just say that I have no service and that's it21:28
arrrghhhyea21:28
wladstonhave to boot back to winmo21:28
arrrghhhsame here21:28
arrrghhhglad it happens on gsm too21:29

wladstonlol21:29
arrrghhhit's random too21:29
arrrghhhi had an incoming call today and it worked just fine, nearly 5 minutes21:29
Fusion1do i NEED default and startup if im using the startup util ?21:29
arrrghhhhad a 30 second outbound call like 30 mins later, and radio reset.21:30
wladstonarght I'm itching to buy that htc desire in 12x on my credit card21:30
arrrghhhFusion1, no i guess not.21:30
arrrghhhdefault certainly isn't needed.21:30
arrrghhhbut i wouldn't use the startup utility.21:30
Fusion1why ?21:30
arrrghhhcauses all sorts of weird problems.21:30
wladstonarrrghhh: just to have an idea, how long do you think they will take to fix the network service issue ?21:30
arrrghhhand i can't really support something i don't use :P21:30
wladstonbut i wouldn't use the startup utility [2]21:31
arrrghhhwladston, dunno, i don't think we have any ril wizzes.21:31
wladston ril wizzes == ???21:31
arrrghhhRIL21:31
arrrghhhradio interface layer i believe21:31
arrrghhhbasically the code that interacts directly with the radio.21:31
arrrghhhwizzes == smart guys :P21:31
arrrghhhwhizzes?21:32
arrrghhheh, either way.21:32
wladstonahn21:32
wladstonright21:32
Fusion1hey21:32

Fusion1do you guys know by any luck how to enable the quick search bar in android ?21:32
arrrghhhwladston, lol with me it'll never happen so better late than never...21:33
wladstonso I think we are out of luck :D21:33
Fusion1the google thing, the bar where you can search directly from home21:33

*** hardwalker has joined #xdandroid21:36
arrrghhhok stop21:37
arrrghhhlet's break this down...21:37
arrrghhhwhen does it reboot21:37
arrrghhhdo you see flying text21:37
arrrghhhthe boot animation21:37
arrrghhhthe lock screen...?21:38
Fusion1yes21:39
Fusion1up to the lock screen21:39
arrrghhhwhich21:39
Fusion1i can unlock it21:39
Fusion1and then21:39
arrrghhhso you get all the way to the lock screen?21:39
arrrghhhdamn.21:39
Fusion1yeah.21:39
arrrghhhok21:39
arrrghhhlet's try this21:39
arrrghhhboot again21:39
Fusion1ok21:39
arrrghhhlet it get to the lock screen21:39
arrrghhhlet it sit21:39
arrrghhhsee if it reboots on its own21:39
wladston( make sure you are also disabling overclock btw)21:39
Fusion1k21:39
Fusion1no overclock here21:40
arrrghhhyea not sure what would make it reboot at the lock screen21:40
arrrghhhunless you had some funky build21:40
Fusion1the one just posted on that android project page21:41
arrrghhhdid you update it at all?21:41
Fusion1http://reefermattness.scepterr.info/XDAndroid2.2Froyo.110110.rar21:41
Fusion1no, stock from the rar file21:41
Fusion1didnt change anything21:41
arrrghhhhmmm21:41
arrrghhhand what startup are you using?21:42
Fusion1the one generated by the...21:42
Fusion1you know21:42
Fusion1startup.. util..21:42
Fusion1i look a look at it21:42
Fusion1took21:42
arrrghhhlol21:42
Fusion1it looked very similar21:42
arrrghhhwell if it fails again21:43
Fusion1to the other one i was using21:43
Fusion1ok21:43
arrrghhhi'm going to ask you to use the startup from the faq.21:43
Fusion1i will try.21:43
arrrghhhk21:43
Fusion1so you say let it sit21:43
Fusion1at lock21:43
arrrghhhyea21:43
arrrghhhfor like 2-3 mins21:43
arrrghhhuntil the screen turns off21:43
Fusion1i didnt try that21:43
Fusion1i was always unlocking it.21:43
arrrghhharen't you trying that now?21:43
Fusion1yes, its booting.21:43
arrrghhhk21:43
arrrghhhyou shouldn't have to do this fyi.  just troubleshooting.21:44
Fusion1its at the lock screen21:44
Fusion1says (no service)21:44
Fusion1screen went off.21:44
Fusion1if i push back the top button, i can see it's still there21:44
Fusion1i dont think its gonna reboot.21:45
Fusion1nope, been too long.21:45
Fusion1ah21:46
Fusion1my bad21:46
Fusion1it just rebooted.21:46
Fusion1i noticed it didnt generate a default.txt...21:47
*** touch3 has joined #xdandroid21:47
*** L_miller has joined #xdandroid21:47
touch3anyone use the rhod400? Touch pro 2?21:48
Fusion1tp2 rhod500 here21:49
arrrghhhrhod40021:49
arrrghhhyes21:49
arrrghhhFusion1, default.txt is a backup so-to-speak.  the startup utility used to 0 out the startup.txt, so we would tell people to create the default.txt so they could at least still boot.21:49
arrrghhhit's not required.  only the startup.txt file is required.  grab it from the faq and do NOT use the startup utility once you put a manual startup in.21:50
Fusion1ah k21:50
arrrghhhi've downloaded the lastest bundle, i'll see if there's something wrong with it.21:50
Fusion1well ive compared the 2 files21:50
Fusion1the one generated and the one on the faq21:50
Fusion1didnt seem to have much difference. only things were the generated one added rel_path=andboot north_am_dialing=0.21:51
Fusion1so its something else21:51
arrrghhhlol ok21:51
arrrghhhso what is it then?21:51
wladstonrhod100 here21:52
Fusion1im far far from knowing enough about android to figure that out im affraid arrrghhh :(21:52
arrrghhhlol21:52
arrrghhhwell did you actually do a diff on the startups?21:52
arrrghhhor did you just visually compare them,.21:52
wladstonmust do a diff21:53
Fusion1visually21:53
arrrghhhi'll try the newest bundle myself now.21:53
Fusion1i plugged in the phone21:53
arrrghhhlol21:53
arrrghhhc'mon dude.21:53
Fusion1now it seems im able to get into it21:53
Fusion1i got dmesg21:53
arrrghhhyou got dmesg...?21:54
Fusion1there's a lotta stuff in there... is there a boot log of only the current boot ?21:54
Fusion1or the other ones as well.. i dont know how that log works21:54
arrrghhhwhat are you talking about.21:54
Fusion1i went into terminal emulator21:54
Fusion1and typed dmesg21:54
arrrghhhwait21:54
arrrghhhso it booted?21:54
Fusion1isnt that a kind of bootlog ?21:54
Fusion1yeah, now it did21:54
arrrghhhlol21:54
Fusion1only thing ive changed is plugged the power, all i can tell21:55
Fusion1i know you laughed, but that's the only thing i did.21:55
arrrghhhwell21:55
arrrghhhyou could've told me.21:55
Fusion1well i did21:55
arrrghhhI'm still setting up this bundle to see if it was an issue with the build.21:55
arrrghhhi had to pry the info out of you!21:55
arrrghhhoy ve.21:55
Fusion1wheni typed it21:55
Fusion1it just booted21:55
Fusion1it's been rebooting about 8 times now21:55
arrrghhh...21:56
Fusion1i just managed to get it working by plugging the charger21:56
Fusion1and it says up21:56
Fusion1.. and yes, the battery is charged.21:56
Fusion1i tried if i could get to dmesg and see if there was anything relevant, tought it would reboot21:56
Fusion1but it didnt.21:56
arrrghhhso unplug it21:57
arrrghhhdoes it reboot?21:57
touch3sorry afk, fusion1, how do you deal with android not supporting headphones without the force trick?21:57
Fusion1it didnt, last 5 seconds21:57
Fusion1touch3, i just dont use it21:57
Fusion1for now.21:57
Fusion1arrrghhh, doesnt reboot so far.21:57
touch3what do you use android for?21:57
Fusion1arrrghhh. is there any way i can check what was happening in the last crashes ?21:58
Fusion1touch3, replacing winmo !21:58
touch3proof of concept or do you use it frequently besides testing stuff.?21:58
wladstontouch3: i got started this week21:58
arrrghhhtouch3, yea headsets don't work.21:58
wladstonI'm just trying to code for it now21:58
arrrghhhFusion1, nope.  every reboot blows out the info.  you'd need to use adb and grab the data when it reboots.  not easy.21:58
wladstontouch3: if the phone worked and it was stable I'd use it as my main phone21:58
arrrghhhtouch3, i just test/use it for fun.  it's not a winmo replacement, and probably never will be.21:59
wladstonarrrghhh: really ?21:59
wladstonarrrghhh: :(21:59
touch3i see21:59
Fusion1it is for me21:59
arrrghhhwell21:59
Fusion1i will keep using android on this phone21:59
arrrghhhit can replace winmo21:59
arrrghhhbut not fully21:59
Fusion1i hate winmo so much21:59
arrrghhhi do too21:59
wladstonarrrghhh: why not fully ?21:59
touch3if i head the headset working without the trick i would use it more21:59
arrrghhhbut i need phone calls :P21:59
wladstoni do too [3]21:59
Fusion1phone call work fine here ?21:59
touch3kinda pissed about winmo not really having the selection of apps22:00
Fusion1is it because its a diff. model ?22:00
arrrghhhFusion1, just wait.22:00
Fusion1it will stop working ?22:00
arrrghhhtouch3, bought the wrong phone then if that's your gripe.22:00
arrrghhhFusion1, oh there's many many ways that the phone fails during a call.22:00
arrrghhhsurprised you haven't experienced it yet.22:00
Fusion1ah !22:00
Fusion1never had any issues no22:00
arrrghhhi've had phone calls fail in about 15 different ways.22:00
Fusion1is it something the devs have a hold of, at least some part of it ?22:01
arrrghhhnot really.22:01
Fusion1nice :)22:02
arrrghhhi doubt it'll get addressed until the big issues are fixed.22:02
arrrghhhcamera, framebuffer, etc.22:02
Fusion1so what does it do22:02
Fusion1you lose audio ?22:02
Fusion1disconnects ?22:02
Fusion1one way audio ?22:02
arrrghhhyou want me to describe all 15 ways?22:02
Fusion1all of these22:02
stinebdlies, framebuffer works great22:02
Fusion1haha22:02
arrrghhhstinebd, lol22:02
stinebdnevermind the 7 fps22:02
arrrghhhjust ignore that?22:02
Fusion1well once, someone called and i didnt have audio22:02
arrrghhhit's hard to haha22:02
Fusion1but ONCE22:03
wladstonframebuffer ? what is that ?22:03
arrrghhhFusion1, oh no.  it'll get much worse.22:03
Fusion1even with latest builds ?22:03
arrrghhhhow many calls have you made in android?22:03
stinebdhow come every time we talk about something wladston asks what it is?22:03
Fusion1maybe 40-5022:03
Fusion1maxc22:03
arrrghhhstinebd, he's a curious guy.22:03
arrrghhhFusion1, damn.  i must have bad luck i guess.22:03
stinebdlmgtfy?22:03
wladstonstinebd: I'm a curious guy22:03
Fusion1stinebd, didnt notice i do the same since i got here ?22:03
arrrghhhlol22:03
arrrghhhthat site is great.22:04
Fusion1framebuffer is something about the 3d acceleration, isnt it22:04
stinebdheh, no22:04
arrrghhhnot really.22:04
Fusion1ah22:04
Fusion1okay.22:04
wladstonthat's two who don't know what that is already22:04
wladston:D22:04
arrrghhhhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framebuffer22:04
stinebdit's a pretty basic concept in computing22:04
wladstonahn, right22:05
arrrghhh1st thing that popped up on googling 'framebuffer' :P22:05
Fusion1at least i know it was about graphis in a way22:05
Fusion1graphiCs22:05
touch3anyone believe the touch pro 2 fm radio on cdma phones might be working?22:05
wladstonwell, I knew buffer, and frame, but I never studied specific hardware22:05
stinebdtouch3: i personally think it's a november fools joke22:05
stinebdthey couldn't wait for april apparently22:06
arrrghhhthe gpu can help take load off of the cpu in relation to the framebuffer.22:06
touch3lol22:06
arrrghhhfm radio?22:06
touch3to obvious in april22:06
arrrghhhi don't think my rhod400 has an fm radio.22:06
touch3the gsm versions have an fm radio22:06
arrrghhhi thought you said you have a rhod400...22:06
wladstonmine has one22:06
touch3apparently the cdma ones have the chip, but it was disabled22:06
arrrghhhhuh22:06
arrrghhhweird.22:06
touch3yeah rhod400 is a tp222:06
arrrghhhi know, but that means it's cdma22:06
wladstonbut you need a headset to use it22:06
arrrghhhwladston, no speakerphone radio goodness?22:07
wladstonyeah, it works, as long as the headset is also connected22:07
wladstonit serves as the antenna22:07
touch3only on the gsm ones22:07
arrrghhhmeh22:07
wladstonthe other ones got an fm radio antenna ? that is sweet22:07
arrrghhhthat's what subsonic is for.22:07
arrrghhhwladston, no cdma apparently has the chip but it's not active.22:07
wladstonahn, right22:08
Fusion1not active as in a hardware switch22:08
touch3the topic has been dead for awhile now22:08
Fusion1or just, not software enabled in winmo22:08
arrrghhhoh man my work opened up the proxy so now i can stream mpd to my desk.  freakin awesome.22:08
touch3and some guy posted that he got it working on 10/3022:08
arrrghhhtouch3, what thread?22:08
touch3arrrghhh, setup a ssh tunnel at home22:08
arrrghhhtouch3, didn't work before.  they didn't allow ssh out.22:09
stinebdwat!22:09
arrrghhhbut now i can http stream music from mpd to my desk.22:09
arrrghhhfreakin awesome.22:09
touch3oh well22:09
touch3at least they allowed that22:09
arrrghhhstinebd, basically before if it wasn't piped thru the proxy, it wasn't getting now.22:09
arrrghhhs/now/out/22:09
touch3they probably opened it for someone else higher up22:09
touch3http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=746296&page=722:10
stinebdatt used to do that with their medianet access points (vs pdanet which had full access)22:10
arrrghhhnow, for whatever reason i can hit the web w/o a proxy.  freakin awesome.22:10
touch3down for maintenance22:10
Fusion1he dmz'ed you22:11
wladstonstinebd: the PRODUCT_LOCALES settings is set to hdpi # Use high-density artwork where available22:11
wladstonstinebd: but the docs says that this is "A space-separated list of two-letter language code, two-letter country code pairs that describe several settings for the user, such as the UI language and time, date and currency formatting. The first locale listed in PRODUCT_LOCALES is is used if the locale has never been set before."22:11
stinebdsigh22:12
stinebdit works, what do you want?22:12
arrrghhhlol22:12
wladstonwell, make life easier for whoever is reading the code ....22:12
wladstonbut if you don't want to change it for me it's ok22:13
stinebdwhy would i change it?22:13
stinebdyou want us to go back to mdpi?22:13
arrrghhhno!  just make him go back.22:13
arrrghhh:P22:13
wladstonthe samples they have on the google site for this settings include en_GB de_DE es_ES fr_CA ....22:13
stinebdand look in device/htc/passion-common22:14
wladstonyeah, I'm remembering, I have looked22:14
wladstonprobably http://pdk.android.com/online-pdk/guide/build_new_device.html are wrong22:14
wladstonit's not locale, it's screen density22:15
arrrghhhdetails.22:16
stinebdmost of these idiosyncrasies you're complaining to me about aren't my fault :P22:16
stinebdi literally copied like everything from aosp upstream22:16
arrrghhhlike totally everything.22:16
stinebdquiet, stop detracting from my hard work22:17
stinebdalso some of it i was drunk for22:17
wladstonI'm not complaining, I'm just really trying to follow your steps and understand what you did22:17
stinebdif i don't understand it, i doubt you will22:17
wladstonLOL22:17
wladstonnice to read that :)22:18
wladstonwell, there is one thing - you know how to fix the bugs, I don't22:18
stinebdi don't really know all that much honestly. i just change stuff and sometimes things work out22:18
wladstonthat is probably because you understand that defines a lot better than I22:18
wladstonbut I don't even know what to change22:19
wladstonI was changing a gps-related file that wasn't even part of the build22:19
wladston:D22:19
wladstonI have no idea how the camera and bluetooth can be fixed22:20
stinebdme too22:21
wladstonand I wanted to try to fix the ril22:22
arrrghhhgood luck on the ril dude.  seriously.22:27
wladstonif we have the source ....22:27
wladstonhehe, remembered of that joke "" I tried to change the world, but I couldn't find the source code ..."22:29
wladstonbut I'm starting to realize that if I really want an android phone I'll have to pay the USD850 :(22:32
stinebdnot so easy, is it?22:33
wladstonnope22:34
*** touch3 has quit IRC22:36
wladstonfinished to make a list for everything touched by all product definition files!22:38
wladstonhttp://xdandroid.com/wiki/Getting_started_XDAndroid_development#Product_Definition_Files22:38
wladstonnow I know that the gps stuff is probly at device/common/gps/gps_us_supl.mk  or at some vendor/ side include22:39
stinebdlol22:39
*** touch3 has joined #xdandroid22:41
arrrghhhso how little documentation do we have on the RIL?22:43
stinebdsomewhere between zero and none22:43
arrrghhhwladston, i'm not even sure if the RIL is truly the issue, it just seems like not a lot of attention has been given to it.22:44
arrrghhhother than basic commands22:44
arrrghhhAT+22:44
arrrghhhlol22:44
arrrghhhstinebd, what is between zeo and none?22:44
wladstonbrb22:44
arrrghhhs/zeo/zero/22:44
arrrghhhdamn your bot doesn't fix my crap :P22:44
stinebdphh whipped it up based on dzo's modifications (for vogue) of the reference ril, using traces of winmo rilphone calls22:44
arrrghhhmagic.22:45
arrrghhhbuncha peoples sayin the newest crap doesn't boot22:49
arrrghhhand a buncha others saying it's fine.  ugh.22:49
arrrghhhand as usual, i can't seem to recreate it.22:50
arrrghhhoh stinebd there is something i wanted to ask22:50
arrrghhhdialer in landscape mode?22:50
arrrghhhdoesn't seem to workie.  not sure if it's the status quo or not.22:50
arrrghhhi'm almost always in portrait mode when in a call tho :P22:51
stinebdwho uses dialer in landscape?22:51
arrrghhhspeakerphone?22:53
arrrghhhtakin notes22:53
arrrghhhdunno22:53
arrrghhhi like feelin awkward when calling people.22:53
arrrghhhif i tilt the screen it's even harder22:54
wladstonback22:55
arrrghhhwladston, don't you make calls in landscape mode?22:55
arrrghhhw/the screen tilted?22:55
arrrghhhit's quite an experience.22:56
wladstonhehe yeah22:56
wladstonwhen on speaker22:56
arrrghhhi'm sure if i was on gsm it'd be more important.22:56
arrrghhhstinebd, i guess what i'm asking in all my snarkiness is do native android devices have a landscape dial screen or...?22:57
stinebdwell my n1 doesn't22:58
arrrghhhyes but your n1 doesn't have a kbd22:58
arrrghhh-_-22:58
stinebdok22:58
arrrghhhalthough doesn't it rotate with accelerometer...?  i guess not when in a call.22:58
stinebdbuy me a native android device with a keyboard and i'll tell you22:58
arrrghhhme first.22:59
arrrghhhi'll buy me a native android device first.22:59
stinebdit doesn't rotate in call either22:59
arrrghhhhm22:59
stinebdi'm not sure why you'd expect it to22:59
stinebdyou can exit the dialer and then do whatever you want to in landscape23:00
arrrghhhindeed.23:00
arrrghhhperhaps winmo is broken then23:00
stinebdwhat does winmo have to do with it?23:00
arrrghhhjust feels weird to have the kbd out and the screen being rotated 90 deg23:00
arrrghhhit's the status quo for these devices...?  what else would it have to do?23:01
arrrghhhyou silly and padantic man.23:01
arrrghhher23:02
arrrghhhpedantic.23:02
arrrghhhomg the voice commands are awesome.23:03
arrrghhhi even try throwing it off with a bad accent.23:03
arrrghhhmaybe my accents are that bad, but it still works lol23:03
wladston?? voice commands are woking ?!?!?23:04
arrrghhhwistilt2 magic.23:05
arrrghhhthey worked23:05
arrrghhhyou just had to jump thru hoops to activate the mic23:05
wladstonarrrghhh: wow! when ?23:05
arrrghhhnow the mic works23:05
wladstonarrrghhh: how ????23:05
arrrghhhi'm testing a kernel he gave me this morning :P23:05
wladstonarrrghhh: tell me!!23:05
wladston:D23:05
arrrghhhi think if you make a call first23:05
* wladston wants!!!!!23:05
arrrghhhthen use voice commands23:05
*** touch3 has quit IRC23:09
*** touch3 has joined #xdandroid23:09
arrrghhhwladston, hrm we probably haven't tested a rhod10023:11
arrrghhh1 se23:11
arrrghhh1 sec*23:11
wladstoncool23:11
wladstongimme the kernel!!!23:11
arrrghhhyou simmer down now23:11
wladstonvoice commands will just work after making a call and that's it, no more catches ?23:12
arrrghhhi believe so yes23:13
arrrghhhbut you have to make a call every time23:13
arrrghhhor something like that23:13
arrrghhhdoesn't matter, wistilt seems to have fixed it.23:13
wladstonfixed the call issue ?23:13
arrrghhhhrm 1 sec on that link wladston23:13
wladstoncool23:14
wladstonbtw guys, a great project is android-x8623:14
arrrghhhk23:14
arrrghhhhit the link23:14
arrrghhhfixed the voice search etc23:14
arrrghhhso mic is properly initialized now23:15
* wladston resets to winmo23:15
arrrghhhi believe he's working on speakerphone mic as well.  i should test...23:15
wladstongot the zimage23:15
wladstonwow23:15
arrrghhhguten23:15
wladstonarrrghhh: speakerphone mic worked for me23:15
wladstonon random ocasions23:15
arrrghhhhrm23:15
arrrghhhdon't think it ever did for moi23:16
arrrghhhunless i did the make a call in winmo first trick23:16
wladstonif we have a 100% working thing, including flashing to ROM, except for RIL I'm sure someone will end up fixing it.23:16
wladstonarrrghhh: so I just have to try the zimage, nothing more23:17
wladstonok23:17
arrrghhhin call speakerphone mic is not functioal23:17
