rpierce99_arrrghhh: does your wifi turn on properly currently?00:00
arrrghhhuhm00:00
arrrghhhprobably00:00
arrrghhhdon't be that guy00:00
arrrghhhdamnit.  i got an error.00:01
rpierce99_:P00:01
arrrghhhi don't really use wifi.00:01
rpierce99_i don't either00:01
arrrghhhyou think it's the newest kernel?00:01
rpierce99_in your logcat i'm betting it references sta00:01
rpierce99_E/WifiHW  ( 1337): Unable to open connection to supplicant on "sta": No such file or directory00:01
rpierce99_[9:55pm] rpierce99_: V/WifiStateTracker( 1337): Supplicant died unexpectedly00:01
arrrghhhweird00:02
rpierce99_i'm looking at the wifi code and "sta" is defined as WIFI_TEST_INTERFACE00:02
rpierce99_so yeah, somethings wrong00:03
rpierce99_not sure what though00:03
arrrghhhweird00:03
arrrghhhi'd assume wistilt2 is compiling it the same00:03
arrrghhhbut he said he pushed the commits00:03
arrrghhhjust hasn't heard anything back on them yet.00:03
rpierce99_i was only trying to turn it on to help stinebd troubleshoot wpa_supplicant00:03
arrrghhhheh00:04
arrrghhhgo back to autobuild00:04
rpierce99_because WEP is my favorite type of encryption :)00:04
arrrghhhlol00:04
arrrghhhnj, wep sucks.00:04
arrrghhhsetting it up on my router was painful00:04
stinebdwonder how the battery life is on this thing with wifi always on00:05
rpierce99_i guess I'll swap back to 1253 for a bit to see what happens00:05
rpierce99_1253 does the same thing, so it's not the kernel00:21
arrrghhhdata.img00:25
arrrghhhhrm i just get 'failed to load wifi driver'00:26
rpierce99_i assume you used the full modules pack and not just zImage?00:26
arrrghhhoh no00:28
arrrghhhi dropped the modules with it00:28
arrrghhhonly when i do quick tests for wistilt do i not do the zimage00:28
arrrghhhi don't use wifi, but i do use wifi tethering now and then heh00:28
arrrghhhbedtime.  cya guys later.00:33

R^7Z@rpierce99 Which device? I'm staring at several WiFi spots on my Fuze at the moment... Using FRX04 with the latest rootfs and kernel package from autobuild10:00
rpierce99rhod40010:01
R^7Zwell, theres your problem... get yourself a RAPH11010:01
R^7Z:p10:01
R^7Zlol10:01
rpierce99trade?10:01
rpierce99haha10:01
R^7Zthat'd be an upgrade for me... :D10:02
rpierce99to a cdma phone :)10:02
R^7Zblasphemy!10:02
rpierce99my last phone (3-4 months ago) was a Fuze on AT&T. Sadly I didn't even know I could run android on it.10:03
R^7Zwow...10:03
R^7ZThink I've been using Android on and off for about a couple of years now10:04
rpierce99the way that wpa_supplicant works is divided into RHOD and EVERYTHING ELSE, so I'm not surprised that yours works :(10:04
R^7Zwell it's a good dedicated and hard driving device to test on... from what I hear10:05
R^7Znot the best, mind you...10:05
R^7Zbut it has it's times...10:05
rpierce99The frustrating part is it worked before, I've had wifi working in the past, but I don't use it often enough to know when it broke to be able to pinpoint anything. I would think that between /system, /data, rootfs, and kernel that I've covered my bases10:08
rpierce99I am currently having the issue where my sd card doesn't mount in android though. I don't really care, but I guess there's a possibility that it's related10:09
R^7Zone way would be to start off going back a month or two and keep going back till wifi works?10:09
R^7ZYeah, I've stopped trying to figure out where things break (I know counter productive) and just find a way to work around the little issues encountered10:10
R^7ZThey usually figure it out eventually...10:11
rpierce99I was only trying to get wifi working to help stinebd troubleshoot the wpa_supplicant issues, so it's not a giant deal10:11
R^7Zi hear ya...10:11
rpierce99speaking of that, if you want to pull your wpa_supplicant.conf for me with a WPA network saved in it that would solve our problem :)10:11
R^7Zhmmm... kinda difficult from the work PC...10:12
R^7Zbut will keep that in mind when I'm back home10:12
R^7ZPerhaps someone will read this and pull it and supply for the troubled-ones to troubleshoot :p10:12
R^7Z<--- very little to no experience with adb10:13
R^7ZI have been considering reading up on it, amongst other things, just haven't found the opportune time to do this yet10:14

R^7Z@rpierce99 do you know of a way to pull that file from the terminal emulator?10:33
rpierce99if you just want to view it you would:10:34
rpierce99su10:34
rpierce99cat /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf10:35
R^7Zthanks! will try that in a few... wifi is kinda iffy in the buiding i'm in but it does pickup a few...10:38
rpierce99as long as there's one that's wpa or wpa2 it doesn't even matter if you can connect to it10:39
rpierce99as long as it lets you save it10:39
rpierce99i'm not sure if you can save it without a successful connect10:39
R^7ZKnowing my luck, probably not...10:40
R^7ZNo harm in trying though, I wouldn't think...10:41
rpierce99never know, might end up like me :)10:41
R^7Znah... it'10:41
R^7Zit's a random wifi spot10:42
R^7Zstupid enter key10:42
R^7Zhad to be below my pinky finger10:42
R^7ZI might just hold off till I connect to my wifi back home...10:43
R^7Zyou mentioned doing "cat" to view, can you "logcat" for a log or is that something totally different?10:43
rpierce99logcat cat's a specific log and keeps it rolling until you tell it to stop, cat just prints a file10:44

stinebdhoneycomb runs surprisingly well on nook color16:31
stinebdespecially considering it's a goldfish image16:31
emwehey stinebd... mails to list are autoblocked if not-subscribed-sender i get it?16:33
emwenook color?16:33
stinebdemwe: right16:33
emweok. i just took the wrong acc earlier16:33
emweand didn't read the reply mail correctly16:34
*** InternetToughGu1 has left #xdandroid16:34
stinebdheh16:34
emwenook is an ebook reader thingy?16:35
NautisNook Color is still running on SDK too isnt it. (honecomb hasnt been released yet right?)16:35
stinebdyeah16:35
stinebdNautis: goldfish = emulator, so yes16:35
stinebdbasically they took the emulator image, crammed some nook libs in there and hacked arm asm in to make it usable16:35
stinebdemwe: nook color is an ereader on steroids really. the stock software is built on top of a full android (with all the apps and stuff disabled) and after rooting it you can make it into an actual tablet pretty easily.16:37
emwei see16:38
emwebut the neat things like gps and 3g missing i guess ;)16:38
stinebdi'm glad they didn't make it 3g because with the planned b&n app store, its carrier (att probably) would've demanded a subscription model16:38
stinebdmobile data on these "advanced" devices in the states is more of a burden (with a monthly cost) than a feature16:39
Nautisits only $250usd I was considering picking one up the other day.16:39
emwei see16:39
stinebdand even with the moto xoom, you'll need to subscribe to verizon data just to activate 3g :/16:39
stinebderr16:39
stinebdjust to activate wifi rather16:39
emwehotsports everywhere?16:40
emwe-r16:40
stinebdeverywhere i go anyway :)16:40
stinebdif not, i can wifi tether on my phone16:40
stinebdanother strange american thing. the carriers advertise phones that you can connect all your devices with, but continue to push to market devices have 3g and their own data plan anyway16:41
stinebdi think i figured out our TI bluetooth crash on gingerbread16:43
stinebdit should stop crashing if we ever figure out how to configure it properly :D16:44
Nautisbtw.. bluetooth doesnt stay on on my tilt2. that normal?16:51

Ashley89i want to turn the touch pro 2 into an android device17:27
Ashley89can someone help me with this process17:30
*** rrew has quit IRC17:31
rpierce99i'm sure we can help but you need to tell us what you've done and what didn't work17:32
Ashley89i downloaded the Gen Y Dualboot software and added it to the sd card also the xdandroid software but i dont know what to do after that17:35
rpierce99forget about dualboot for now, at least until android is working by itself17:36
rpierce99when you say "xdandroid software" what exactly did you download17:36
Ashley89RhodiumXDAndroid26.01.10.rar17:37
rpierce99I don't recognize that file name, where did you download it from?17:38
Ashley89http://hotfile.com/dl/25896717/98aaa14/RhodiumXDAndroid26.01.10.rar.html17:38
rpierce99never mind, just get package here: http://reefermattness.scepterr.info/XDAndroid2.2Froyo.012211.rar17:40
rpierce99is your sd card empty?17:40
Ashley89yes17:40
rpierce99ok, once that rar file is downloaded, copy the andboot folder to your sd card17:42
rpierce99then we need to download a few more files to make sure you're up to date with the latest, most stable software17:44
rpierce99what carrier are you with?17:44
Ashley89sprint17:44
rpierce99are we close on the download?17:45

Ashley89i downloaded the rar file and i saved it to the computer but its not letting me do anything else i dont see a andboot folder17:52
rpierce99you need to extract the rar17:53
Ashley89how do you do that17:54
rpierce99http://www.win-rar.com/download.html17:57
Ashley89which version is best for a windows 717:59
rpierce99did you read the first line?17:59

rpierce99then you have your answer18:00

rpierce99stinebd: sup sir18:07
stinebdwpa_supp18:08
rpierce99yessum18:08
stinebdgot a config file for wep that i can take a peek at?18:08
stinebdyou can remove the key18:08
rpierce99no, i was never able to get my wifi to enable18:08
stinebdok18:08
Ashley89ok i saved the andboot file to the sd card18:08
rpierce99i replaced my kernel, rootfs, system.ext2, data.img and reformatted my card18:08
stinebdwpa uses no auth_alg line18:09
rpierce99makes sense, open/shared is really a wep setting18:10
rpierce99Ashley89: great, those three other files i asked you to download, are they ready18:10
Ashley89yes18:10
rpierce99as in downloaded18:10
Ashley89yes18:10
rpierce99all three of them replace something in your andboot folder18:11
rpierce99zImage-abunchofgarbage should be renamed to zImage18:11
rpierce99and then overwrite the one in andboot with it18:11
rpierce99delete the modules that is in your andboot folder and replace it with the one you downloaded18:11
*** TheDeadCPU is now known as TheDeadSLEEP18:11
rpierce99and replace the rootfs.img in your andboot folder with the one you downloaded18:11
rpierce99so stinebd do you need anything else to be able to fix it?18:12
rpierce99or is it as simple as we thought last night18:12
Ashley89im not understanding18:13
rpierce99well if you boot it the way you have it, it will run, but it will be kind of broken18:14
rpierce99to launch it you just need to launch haret.exe from your phones file explorer18:14
rpierce99but honestly this project may not be ready enough for general consumption if these directions are difficult to understand18:15
rpierce99if you want to read up some more feel free to hang around http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/tp2-android-development/ and http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=58918:16
stinebdrpierce99: i think i'm good now18:16
stinebdjust gotta set up this old router for wep quick18:16
rpierce99yeah i wish i had an old router to do that, I'd have to kick all 50 networked devices offline to test wep here18:17
rpierce99how long does the system image take to build?18:17
Ashley89ok  thanx. i clicked on  the haret.exe file and a bunch of white words appeared18:17
stinebdfrom scratch?18:17
rpierce99Ashley89: that's normal, you should see an android logo soon18:18

manekinekorather than having each button have its own flag21:10

*** arrrghhh_ is now known as arrrghhh21:12
arrrghhhwhat was i thinking21:12
arrrghhhplaying a video.  bah!21:12
F22actually it's just b4HOME now21:18
manekinekowhat do you mean?21:18
F22the option21:18
F22in startup.txt21:18
F22no equal sign any more.21:19
F22i wanted it to match what i did for the microp kl file.21:19
arrrghhhi thought making it power wouldn't work21:19
arrrghhhwithout kernel changes21:19
manekinekonah, my rootfs has it working as power fine21:19
F22something has changed arrrghhh.21:19
manekinekowhat'd you do for the microp kl file?21:19
arrrghhheverything else works too?21:19
F22it works now.21:19
arrrghhhlol21:19
F22not sure what changed exactly21:19
arrrghhhmanekineko, it didn't use to :P21:20
manekinekooh really? guess as soon as I got around to looking at the keymaps, it must have already been fixed21:20
F22it used to require a modified kernel too21:20
arrrghhhheh21:21
F22if you wanted to give the power button the home keycode21:21
F22that one couldn't be changed from the kl.21:21
F22now it can be.21:21
manekinekopretty cool21:21
arrrghhhyou can do all the same hold keys as well?21:22
arrrghhhi guess with b4HOME you lose end call21:22
arrrghhh:(21:22
manekinekoya that's the downside21:22
arrrghhhnothing is the best option21:22
manekinekoyeah, which is why options are nice I think21:22
arrrghhhso with power=home, how do you turn it off21:22
arrrghhhend?21:22
manekinekoyeah21:22
arrrghhhdamnit21:22
arrrghhhthere really is no good way to solve this problem.21:23
F22manekineko: i was thinking of something like powerHOME-b4POWER  for what you want.21:23
manekinekoF22, maybe for the official commit HOME=b4 or something might be a more future-proof way of doing it, if there's any chance of a HOME= anything else in the future21:23
arrrghhhif we all had f-ing home keys instead of windows keys.21:23
manekinekoarrrghhh, heh then we wouldn't have option21:23
manekinekothat's pretty important too21:23
arrrghhhwe'd just remap it to something else21:23
arrrghhhand deal :P21:23
F22the physical button is then in lowercase, while the keycode assigned is in all caps.21:23
manekinekooption should be power! haha21:23
manekinekohmm I guess that works too F2221:24
manekinekopretty different from all of the other options though21:25
hycthis shouldn't be such a huge headache. how does the Galaxy S get by with no physical buttons?21:25
arrrghhhlol21:25
arrrghhhindeed21:25
F22the problem i faced was the microp keylayout option21:25
F22it was getting very cluttered, and the equal signs didn't help.21:25
arrrghhhhyc, end call and begin call are soft keys21:25
F22it actually seemed clearn without them.21:25
arrrghhhno dedicated buttons21:25
F22cleam=cleaner21:25
arrrghhhi'm trying to get stine to put the stock AOSP dialer on there21:26
arrrghhhbut he said it has fitment issues on vga...21:26
hycarrrghhh: with the right launcher we can do that. then we don't need the begin call button.21:26
manekinekohmm, couldn't you just detect phone model like we already do elsewhere in the code21:26
manekinekoand display a dialer based on that?21:26
F22stuff like...rhod300-pttSEARCH-homeSEARCH_microp-keypad.kl21:26
F22doesn't work for the language as far as i know21:27
arrrghhhmanekineko, i don't think you can swap userland stuff like that on the fly21:27
arrrghhhi'm not positive, but i wouldn't think that's easily doable.21:27
arrrghhhif at all21:27
manekinekono way the userland can ask for the phone's hardware identity?21:27
F22need to check to see if it can be changed on the fly in userland, i know stinebd wasn't sure, but was thought it might require a reboot.21:28
manekinekothe keymaps?21:28
F22layouts21:28
F22i know the keymaps can be changed. it checks the binary every time.21:28
manekinekoso you'd write an app for selecting keys?21:28
arrrghhhno no way to swap out the dialer screen on the fly manekineko21:28
arrrghhhi'm not positive tho21:29
manekinekohmm, well there is a hardware field we're not using in the froyo.user.conf file that normally identifies the phone hardware model I guess21:29
F22by doesn't work for language, i meant that the variant detection code only gives you model number, not the specific language keyboard you have.21:30
F22so as far as i know it doesn't tell the diff between rhod100_de and rhod100_fr21:30
F22or at least the code from wozzer can't tell.21:30
manekinekowait, now we're talking about keyboard layouts again? hah I'm so confused...21:30
arrrghhhF22 is talking about something different than what i'm talking about.21:31
F22just clarifying something i said earlier21:31
arrrghhhtwo different conversations are being had at the same time with one person, you manekineko :P21:31
manekinekooh ok, that makes more sense haha21:31
F22now the issue i face is that the microp options are tied to both the microp layout and the microp keymap. so any change needs to be done for -all- of them.21:32
F22unless it's specific to the phone model21:32
F22for example only the 300/tilt2 has the ptt button21:32
F22now if we're looking at just the gpio buttons it's much simpler.21:33
F22only a handful of those, and they don't change depending on phone model or kbd.21:33
manekinekothe microp options are the things you're adding to startup.txt?21:34
F22b4HOME changes the gpio kl or "navi_pad" file as it's called in the existing repo.21:35
F22things like rhod300-pttSEARCH-homeSEARCH change the microp kl21:35
manekinekoso the issue is just that it's a lot of work going through all of the models?21:37
manekinekohow are you handling the switching? is their some script that finds and reads a certain file based on the microp option?21:38
F22well that, and the fact that the more options are added, the more cumbersome those options become. and if i split them off people would get royally confused regarding which ones could be combined how.21:38
manekinekowhat do you mean split them off?21:39
F22yes, instead of doing a grep, a sed command basically grabs the relevant info which then gets chopped up.21:39
arrrghhhsed is sick21:40
arrrghhhif you can figure out how to use it lmao21:40
manekinekooh so each option is multiplying the number of files21:40
manekinekohmm21:40
hycgenerate the output file on the fly? from a set of known alternatives.21:41
manekinekoI guess that's the split off approach F22 suggested?21:42
manekinekodoes seem like a good idea though to split each common part off into its own file though21:42
manekinekoand then generate the output file on the fly21:42
F22more efficient then grep a dozen or more times until you find something that matches.21:43
F22this way you only check /proc/cmdline once21:43
*** detule has joined #xdandroid21:44
manekinekohmm, it could be possible just to drop this whole thing into the startup.txt to allow custom keymap definitions right?21:44
F22generating on the fly is a possibility21:44
manekinekoso that the output file would be generated on the fly21:44
manekinekoby appending to the base keyboard defintiions21:44
F22would need to probably go to awk for that.21:44
manekinekowhatever is in the appropriate startup.txt section21:45
F22or write something in c.21:45
F22the shell that comes with android is very limited.21:45
manekinekowrite something in c? that seems like overkill21:45
manekinekohmm oh that's true21:45
hycsed can do it all21:45
F22lol, true21:45
manekinekoit has sed?21:45
F22yes, sed is what i'm using now.21:45
manekinekoso it'd be possible to have something in the startup.txt then that's like set microp "key 139 MENU key 102 MUTE"21:46
arrrghhhsed is amazing21:46
arrrghhhi love it and hate it at the same time.21:46
manekinekoand just have that stuck on the end of an output file21:46
manekinekokinda ugly though I suppose, with those key numbers21:46
manekinekoexcept for the 5th row and the hardware buttons, all of the keyboard keys are the same on different models so it'd be nice and DRY to have one base file21:48
*** Nautis has quit IRC21:48
F22all the keyboard keys aside from row 5 are not the same across all the models. there are a lot of differences in the keymaps, particularly with regard to fn combos.21:49
F22the gpio kl's are all the same.21:49
F22i condensed those down to one easily enough, and then added a second for b4HOME.21:50
F22i think what you mean manekineko is that the layouts are pretty much the same except for row 5, although i believe there may be some exceptions there too.21:50
F22heh, for example21:51
F22100_de is qwertz not qwerty, and 100_fr is azerty.21:51
manekinekoright, so the kcms differ21:51
arrrghhhchrist21:51
manekinekooh wow21:51
manekinekoweird21:51
manekinekohmm21:51
manekinekook well shoot there goes that theory then21:51
arrrghhhlmao21:51
F22i'm kind of hesitant to put time into creating a way to generate the files on the fly when the real holy grail is making it possible to adjust the layouts in the framework. we haven't yet established whether or not that can be done without a reboot yet. i need to create the hooks in /sys to test that out. if i can change them on the fly, then i can look into creating a menu for it in the framework.21:57
arrrghhhthat would be the best21:58
arrrghhhfor sure21:58
manekinekotrue, that would be a very impressive solution22:01
arrrghhhso would be adding a bacon dispenser.22:02
arrrghhhi'd like 2 pieces of bacon please22:02
arrrghhhwrrrrrrrrrrrrr bacon!22:02
manekinekothat would make the TP2 the best phone the market still22:03
manekinekohmm, seems pretty easy to check whether it can be changed without reboot22:03
*** NeoMatrixJR has quit IRC22:03
manekinekowhere are the files it copies to22:03
manekinekocan't I just do it on the terminal right now and see?22:03
manekineko/etc/keymaps right?22:03
F22oh, you mean just overwriting them? well i'm talking about having the kernel actually check the values in the /sys directory22:04
manekinekooh so for sure just overwriting them doesn't work?22:04
F22i know overwriting the kcm binaries works. haven't tried overwriting the kl's. but the framework needs a way of knowing what the current files are, and a way of saving user changes to the layout.22:06
F22current values are i mean22:06
manekinekohmm well if this worked, it could just write the current values to a file like /init.etc./keymaps/custom22:06
manekinekoand then if present, that's always used22:06
arrrghhhkillall zygote22:07
arrrghhhproblem solved F2222:07
F22there are kernel drivers that handle that though, the framework and the kernel need to communicate.22:09
