Android is "working" on Polaris | siraloP no "gnikrow" si diordnA

[be_vigilant]

For anyone wanting to try the latest version out I created a .cab file for an easy install

All credit to !!premy/dubbeldd00!!

Install to device memory not SD card ;-)
Once the .cab is installed you can easily update andoid by just dumping the latest zimage from these talented people into program files\android directory.

The radio seems to be working OK for me. It reports it as G and I only ever seem to get one bar.

I added a contact and dialed it. It dialed 100%
The call came through the loud speaker.

I tried to hang up and it confused me! Android disabled the touch screen so I couldnt press on hang up. You have to scroll through to hang up using the dial pad.

Incoming call was OK too. It displayed on screen "incoming call". No rington was played (i guess as sound isnt configured yet) I could answer the call. Again the sound came out of the loud speaker on my polaris.


Tried to SMS and the application just hung.
I am using udK Latest diamond rom

Android is booting on first attempt! Can't place outgoing calls though...
I managed to add a contact but when I dial it nothing happens...
But the looks are amazing!! Way better than the borring wm imho

Great Work everyone!!! Hope we can get it up and running soon!!!

Tried hard resetting but still had same problem so decided to try udK ROM and its sorted the problem. Android now works each and every time.

Time to start playing.

thanks to dubbeld00, premy and everyone else for such a great board.

I've been testing for a while. The latest image from Premy works well.
Incoming call works!!!
for Outgoing call, I've not been able to add contacts, I'll try later.

What about GPRS connection and WiFi ? has anyone tried?

I'm also planning to build this week end.. I've the instructions from dubbeld00's (thnx for creating website as well) previous posts (any updates to that...?)

I'll have some time to work on it...

thanks,
WinMB2

To add contacts use the GPS hard button (the one under the green one )
edit: Anyone found out how to exit android without softresetting?

[WinMB2]

Incoming call notification is displayed, can accept call. Call establishes, audio is clear.
Can't disconnect the call ; touch screen red soft-button doesn't take action.
Other party disconnect is not recognized;
the green off-hook notification icon is displayed on the top bar.

The Kaiser / Vogue had some suggestion on getting GPRS working with command line options in default.txt.
Any ideas on the getting GPRS working on Polaris as well?

How can we add contact for outgoing calls? I got to the contacts menu, there is no keyboard on Polaris? Is the touch-screen based kb working? How do I launch it?

thanks,
WinMB2

You can hang up by scrolling through the buttons on screen using the dial wheel. The touch screen is disabled which in a call.

Go to the contacts screen and Press the GPS button (under the green one) select new contact then press camera button to launch the keyboard. When you are done press the gps button again and select Done!

Had the flue (was sick) for a week, so didn't make real progress at it... the "how to develop" page is usable http://android.v-dh.nl/?m=Docs&id=3. I will try to get the site completely up this weekend. If you find a typo on the page, please don't report it... you can modify it yourself when I'm finished with the page (just like wikipedia)
