[UPDATED]Performance Tweaks etc on Android!.

[Guest smekkos]

come on guys (and ladys ) ... do some GPIO Hunting

keyboard is almost working i only have to get the ALT-Characters working too.

devteam is focusing on I8000-development ... if we don't get the B7610-GPIOS it will take a long long time until

we at the same stage as I8000!

we realy need the diffrent gpios!

further:

i need to know if there ar more differences than Y & Z between the qwerty & qwertz keyboard-layout

maybe there are even more layouts.

so here is my qwertz-layout

let me know which differences there are (specialy about the alt-characters - (the red-ones))

;)

Hi,

i made a layout of the alt characters and symbols.

let me know if it is to any use!

what kind of layout is this?

qwerty? azerty? (need the letters too)

[Guest vscottie]

what kind of layout is this?

qwerty? azerty? (need the letters too)

It is the same as mine, ie. QWERTY

[Guest mosci]

It is the same as mine, ie. QWERTY

and ... do only Y & Z differ ... compareing to mine ?

did not find out how to set alt-characters to "specialkey's" like LEFT, DOWN & UP ... maby this can not be done ;)

but there is a possibility to define characters while pressing SHIFT & ALT ....

unfortunatly i can not put my (ready to use) working keyboardfiles online ... cause it differs from

original modules/kernel ... so if the next update will be applied it will not work anymore - it can even

stop working at all ... because of different modules,kernel gpios ... bla bla bla

but if someone is willing to test & have some linux skills too (to do a backup of the i8000 modules & kernel by himself)

he can pm me to get instructions for a beta-test

hi is there someone how has market working?

mine starts. but when downloading. it goes wrong.

it just keeps on downloading and thats all. but no download and no install

greets tjeerdos

Hi Tjeerdos,

at my B7610 it works like a charm. At first it didn't, but after I updated with the 2d/3d drivers as mentioned in post #8 in the i8000 thread it worked. Not only market works like a charm. I now have a stable Android running, for three days now. No freezes, no crashes!

In steps:

1. Downloaded and installed the 1024mb version (18/1!), booted and did Android installation wizard

2. Installed the 31st of januari update and rebooted

3. Installed the previous mentioned 2d/3d drivers.

Note: I installed on my storage, not on SD

can install and run every app, from market and apk's downloaded from internet and put to phone by USB

Grtz

as far as i have seen the only difference are the y-z / .-, /<> () keys....

i would like to help but have absolutely no linux or android skills.

if you know anything i can do to help just let me know.

[Guest Vic20]

Glad some people are having success with this, try as I might, since the 3G update, my phone freezes anytime between 2 and 20 seconds of Android coming up. I'm thinking it's something to do with the Windows ROM I am Running (Daskalos with Sense) as sense is starting to play up and reloading Android makes no difference to it now.

It I've time I might try going back to a stock ROM over the weekend and trying from there.

Great work with the Keymapping Mosci.

thanks ... it's almost done ;)

keymapping is the easyest part ... but even this is almost done

kernel works with 3g, vibration and keyboard-support

only the power-key did not poweroff - only lock the screen and turn screen off

thus ... reboot has to be done by adb or reset-pinhole ;)

hey i want to test

[Guest Bokun23]

So, finally i got android working on my storage with the last updates./

Now im trying to make an apn. But after insurting all the information it wont save them. After hittin save there is no APN. Anyone know this problem?

Also my phone didnt ask for a pin to unlock the simcard. How can i do this manually?

Greetz,

Arjan

edit: after rebooting it asked immediatle for my pin and now its working.

hi erik,

i also installed on my storage. everything runs real fast and smooth no freezing etc.

only thing what is wrong is market. it starts and i can look and search apps and he sees ''my apps''.

but apps downloading goes wrong.

when market didn't work for you did you have the same as me? ore did your market do nothing.

i'm bit scared to put that update on my phone. because it works like a charm now ....

only not market...

hope to hear it soon

ps can you play video?

greets tjeerdos

[Guest Superwuppy]

OK

i've got it running android with 3g and running market

but it freezes all the time after a few minutes

installed with latest update

How do i install android on my storage. Is it faster/better then on sd?

[Guest Bounser]

Same here!!

[Guest mosci]

ofcause the nand is faster than the sdcard ... but the stability is not a matter of speed ... it depends mostly on the kernel.

the b7610 is different in many way ... you can not expect the same behavior as on the i8000.

if your phone runs more than a few hours it is no matter of where it is installed - its only a matte of how many luck you have had.

its like sittin in front of a piano and pressing some keys with no knowlege ... it can sounds nice ... but it can also sounds bad.

and this is what the kernel does on our b7610 : it triggers wrong pins in various kombinations ... sometimes nice ... sometimes not so nice ;-)

[Guest eftihios]

Is there something new with the wifi issue ?

I don't use gprs connections

[Guest ErnstJanF]

Nothing yet ;)

[Guest ErnstJanF]

I would love a short briefing on how to get ADB to work, as my Win7 doesn't even see the device ;)

[Guest Vic20]

YES! WOW! FINALLY!

got it connected on 3G and Stable (so far)

Rebuilt phone with stock JC2 Rom and it worked first time on storage card.

Vic

[Guest aaronage]

Ok, So i guess my excitement about having a stable version of Android on my B7610 was a little premature. I systematically installed everything as advised, and for a while everything worked perfectly.... 3G... fast.... no problems with Marketplace. Then it suddenly froze as i was installing an app.... restarted and i kept getting the Acore messages. Froze again. Now its showing the error message under the Android logo at bootup. Damn!

The error message means nothing.. It will boot :P

[Guest aaronage]

Thanks for your reply!

I know, but when it does I can't do anything because I constantly get the error messages. Strange. I've tried re-installing it again. so far so good. now doing the last update.

I do it in this order.

Main Install followed by booting up, then shutting down using the lock key. (strangely, after the main install without the updates, android asks for my pin code, I assume to activate my sim, but once i've updates the 3D driver, it doesn't ask me again until i do the final 3G update. is this normal?)

Then the 3d driver update with the zimage from the Beta website. once again, installed by leaving the files in the "My Storage" root then booting Android. when its booted, i then shutdown again.

I'm now adding the final update.

Is this order correct or doesn't it matter? Am i missing anything?

Hi Tjeerdos,

Market works here. Using it first time, it almost crashes (reproduced that, with clean install today). I rebooted and after that it works like a charm again. I just installed facebook app, whatsapp and rockplayer (for playing videos) succesfully from market. Download will start after seconds (up to 10 - 15 seconds), and then patiently wait till it is installed

Mp4 video plays not well at all :P . Will look into that tomorrow and share my findings . Catch some sleep now :D .

Grtz!

There is no 'right' way to install the updates, as long as you make sure you install all updates!

For the pin-code, I've disabled it so I can't help you with that :P

Or you can use the emulator to send the 'stop' command... love that one lol :D
