Touchscreen Calibration

The touchscreen is a bit off. So everytime I reboot the device I had to calibrate it manually. With this patch, I got a better calibration from start:

Well, since there was no this problem with other people, may be calibration problem is not in the kernel, try to play with different radios, for me the best was 1.71k. And to make android much more useful, try to make headset work, focus on voguehw.c and audiopara.c, the microphone in headset already works, i think, but i never got sound output to headset working. At the bottom of voguehw.c there is a detection of headset, which i disabled, cause phone was detecting headset connected when the charger was plugged in... If you want to work out Bluetooth, it is in htcrfkill.c or htcnikerfkill.c, depends on initialization at the bottom of main HTC Nike board file... Where the camera is, i don't actually remember, but it is much more complicated and much less critical, i think.

barfbarfbear Androidupdate you get from here http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/modules/ download the modules for 2.6.25 kernel. Actually, the build from the first post made from the same sources, like fat free froyo, just a little newer and with the needed kernel modules integrated already.

Thank you very much for your input.

I've got a Nike 200 with Nike Radio 1.65.28.25/SPL-1.15.Hard/CPLD-4
When I tried to flash RUU Nike Radio 1.71.09.01K I got "00018003 NIKEIMG.nbh - FAIL" so I continued using 1.65.28.25.

After downgrading to 1.58.11.07 this morning, the flash of 1.71.09.01K worked, too.
But the decalibrated touchscreen remains. With the default values in
arch/arm/mach-msm/board-htcnike.c the touchscreen is off.
At the moment I'm happy with
.xmin=288,
.ymin=20,
.xmax=3102,
.ymax=3865,

Next on my agenda will be bluetooth. I hope I will have more luck with the new radio.

kind regards,
hunderteins

thank you for your help but it didn't work. i'm still getting the same error. but after messing around within the black screen and typing stuff i deceided to type "exit" to hopefully restart my phone by softwarecommand. but fortunatley the installationprocess went on. from thereon everything seems like to be ok.

but if i reset my phone it does the same error again so i have to type exit again.

does somebody have the same problem?

btw. found this log on the sdcard, looks to be important :

barfbarfbear Looks like you are using the sd card for android installation, so may be there is a problem with the card. If you are using my kernel, make sure you check "system on nand" and "data on nand" during installation process, because this kernel is optimized to work from nand only, so i don't know if it will work correctly with sd card installation. But there is one more problem, which i found during the experiments with android on my HD2. When you are installing the stock winmo rom, it makes full nand format, which mean checking all the memory and marking the bad blocks. But if you are installing any custom rom, including android, the file system table is rewrited from scratch, including all the bad blocks information. Since there is no full format procedure, kernel is using all the memory, so if some impotent information is writed on a bad block, it gets corrupted. Since Nike is actually old, there is a big chance to have a lot of bad blocks, thats why android installation may work well on some phones, and on others can make a problems...
hunderteins There are two important points, you have to have your attention on. The first- bluetooth, the same as camera on Nike, have no full and clear information about GPIOs. According to this http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Nike_GPIO_Table you can find 4 radio channel GPIOs and GPIO for clock, but if you will look at the htcrfkill.c file, you will see that you need at least one more GPIO for Bluetooth power, or may be some more. My knowledge was not enouth even to understand, how it works exactly...
The second point- try using my way to understand how to fix some issues, go here http://androidhtc.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=androidhtc/kernel.git;a=summary and you can see the history of kernel changes for kaiser, vogue and polaris, it was very usefull for me, just with copy-pasting i rewrite complitely the touchscreen driver, which fixed vibration caused freezes.
So good luck, i'll be happy to help with any questions, just remember, i am not a programmer, so don't ask too much...

barfbarfbear: You may give my efforts a try. At the moment I'm using a sdcard
installation with the source I got from vsavichev and some minor changes:

* changed display calibration so it will fit my Nike 200
* using the CONFIG_FONT_MINI_6x6 from the dslinux project
* removed arch/arm/mach-msm/ts/htcnike-ts.c which confused me
* kernel-config which does not depend on modules and I disabled options I see
so far no use in for the Nike.

take a look at: h__p://remote.org/sven/htcnike/andboot/ (use t for _)

In the parent drawer are the kernelconfig and the kexec programm (plus reboot.sh)
which help me to test kernel-changes without actually rebooting into windows mobile.

vsavichev · Oct 5, 2011

hunderteins Well, i hope you will get some results, but remember, if you are testing your kernel under Haret, you can get some different results from cold booting from nand, Haret unloads windows from the memory, but the initializations, made by windows stay... So the most important task for me was to make correct cold initialization. Actually your way of development got a point, you are working with already initialized hardware, so you can try, for example, to enable Bluetooth in win mobile, remove all the initialization and resets of Bluetooth in boardhtcnike.c and htcrfkill.c, maybe you will get some sign of working Bluetooth, and after that you can begin to initialize hardware in cold boot.
P.S. Why i am talking so much about cold boot? The biggest goal of my project, as you see in the name of the thread, was to make android to be able to boot from Nand, which means to remove this ugly windows mobile comlitely, SD card installation can be usefull, but it is only half a way...

Is there a chance to prevent random data resets after low battery problem?

I had to reinstall all apps and settings 5-6 times since using this rom.
I really love it but that's a big problem.

aipkoi · Oct 19, 2011

i have try this experiment about andoid on nand about 2 month ago, Now
Even if I align it correctly, there's still "an error" of 0.5 cm for the left. This is very annoying I cant press the X button. Also, touchscreen dont work with slide open. Very strange. back to winmo same case, anyone can help me peelisss

lucas_mcosta · Nov 14, 2011

I've tried this on my Niki.

And it works perfect !

The only issue is that i can't install or move apps to SDcard, is there any solution for this ?

jplinux3 · Dec 6, 2011

Hi, i install this android, and works, some problem whit battery (i dont now hoy much i have)
a question, is it posible to detect the phone in windows so i can acces my files in the sd card¿???

Thanks!

try with using HTC Sync http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-and-Shell/Windows/HTC-Sync-81096.shtml

Does someone know how to install apps on SD card ?

Cause i've tryed it many times, but it dosen't work.

Use App 2 SD to be able to do it

I've used App2SD and a lot more...

But it dosen't work, it says permission denied... I've tried titanium backup and a lot more apps...

tarkan-t29 · Dec 26, 2011

Hi all ! I was wondering if you guys have fixed the headset and bluetooth issue?
(Sorry I did not read all the topic messages..)

JonnyX93 · Jan 26, 2012

Hey

I really like this android in nand, but I can't receive any calls, because the phone is staffed all the time.

Any solution for this?

Tau78 · Feb 17, 2012

Thank you vsavichev and all the other guys for your hard and stunning work.
My TD is alive again

One question: once i've Froyo up and running, how can i flash the radio for upgrade it to 1.71?

tnx

Nice job, I used your tutorial and files to make a neon 200 version, i posted it right now, hope you don't get angry if i used your files as a starting point
