[25/03/11]XDAndroid - Topaz [2.2.2][FRX06 Final]

[mweirauch]

Just wondering if anyone had tried to get the SuperRam Froyo build working on a Topaz. They say it's faster than NAND and I'm guessing would solve the battery drain SD problem. Saw it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=870518

Build does not work out of the box, I'm guessing we'd need to change the ramaddr and ramsize at least to get something working

I think this won't be useful for us as we don't have as much RAM as the HD2 has. We have around 196MB left. Our current ext2 system image is 124MB. Image this figure subtracted from our free RAM. Of course one could go yaffs again for a smaller system image, but then one would *perhaps* like to go with ext4 on gingerbread (with an updated kernel only I think) then you are at the same thing again.

How are things going with the drivers for the camera?

Hi,

at first a really want thank you developers, it's great what you done for us. After reading couple of threads I decided to try XDAndroid on my Topaz. It's really good OS, even if everything isn't working is better then WM6.5.

I'm just curious is there any way how to enable GPS? Topaz is running latest package from this thread + latest kernel (F22's compilation).

Thanks for answer.

I installed it on my pure and worked great~!!! Except for camera and occationally reboot. Other than that, I am happy with it.

Saw alot of comments .Seem all things is ok except the camera which i need most in my TOPAZ When can u guys fix it,plz T_T

 

[diesburg]

I think any posts asking about the camera should just be deleted from now on. Why don't you learn something more about android and it's development and get it working yourself.

I guess the main problem is battery drain, still. Camera is useful thing, but not so necessary for everyday usage, really.

Stability

I love the latest build: for the first time, I've been able to see what Android can do. But after reading the last month or so of comments, I have some problems that others here don't seem to have.

When I use the latest builds with the latest zImage, rootfs and Initramfs files, I have two recurring problems:

1. When the phone goes into a "deep" sleep (as opposed to the screen switching off after a few mintues), it does not respond to any buttons. I need to remove the battery to reboot it.

2. When the phone receives an incoming call, it often crashes (freezes) before the call is answered (in fact, it's always eight seconds after the first ring).

Which versions of the files should I use at the moment that will lead to the most stable version of Android? The latest ones still seem to have problems.

0. The kernel autobuild service is offline for some time. Please go to the Rhodium Android forum and download the latest kernel package from "F22". (I think build 1245 ist the current one.)
1. Try holding the power button a bit longer when you wan't to wake the device. This should workaround it until we resolved the bug.
2. I suppose the earpiece is not working when you receive a call. The crash after 8seconds is the modem processor crashing which can't be recovered from. When booting up the device, perform a quick phone call and that should fix it. (E.g. dial your mailbox) Will try to investigate that when all the other 500 bugs are fixed...

To inform all that there are some breakthrough on camera and some fixes on battery drain, so expect in following days/weeks all of that working and after that we could hopefully go on nand development

P.S.: And gingerbread is going also well so expect that too

Hi Michael,

could you give as some mention in which week we can have working camera +
better battery drain? I am very curious.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Do you think the devs will be faster if you ask this again and again. Please be patient or learn something about kernel and android development to help the devs.

Thanks for making this possible for us. I was so sick of windows, searched the web a bit and found this thread. Its running on my Diamond now, still have to figure out how everything works though, but i love it. As i don't understand much of coding, i wanted to say this has been made very easy for me! So big thumbs up for all those who have been working on this. Camera doesnt work yet, but i got patience, just happy things work great now.

Thanks again.

You need to download "Super Manager" from the android market. It's free
When you are in terminal type in the following:
________________
su
rm -f /system/lib/modules/ (Then Press Enter)
cp -f /sdcard/hotfix/* /system/lib/modules (Then Press Enter)
chmod 755 /system/lib/modules/ (Then Press Enter)

Thanks to anybody who is involved in the XDAndroid - Topaz project.

I have been playing around with XDAndroid for quite a while and had no big problems apart from the known ones.
One thing I now came across: Having XDAndroid running I had to reset my TD2 using the reset button. Since then my data.img seems to be broken/corrupt, the bootup procedures hangs (bootloop?) on the screen with the flying little androids.
I renamed my data.img and started android again, after a while a "fresh" XDAndroid was running (new data.img was created).
Now my question is: Is there any way to repair my corrupt data.img? I don't want to setup everything again...

My suggestion is no other way but a backup.
