Hi I just got SynCE 0.90 working fine with kernel 2.6.x
In case you didn't know synCE is the linux (open source) version of Activesync
homepage at http://synce.sourceforge.net/
I used this with pocket PC 2003SE on blueangel
It also works fine with synce-kde, just like activesync
here is the updated snippet from the wiki:
I ran it on a 2.6.9 kernel and I added this to my ipaq.h:
(look for this)
#define HTC_VENDOR_ID 0x0bb4
#define HTC_WALLABY_ID 0x00ce
#define HTC_HIMALAYA_ID 0x0a02
(new part here)
#define HTC_BLUEANGEL_ID 0x0a05
(end new part)
And this to my ipaq.c (/usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/serial/)
(look for this)
{ USB_DEVICE(HTC_VENDOR_ID, HTC_WALLABY_ID) },
{ USB_DEVICE(HTC_VENDOR_ID, HTC_HIMALAYA_ID) },
(new part here)
{ USB_DEVICE(HTC_VENDOR_ID, HTC_BLUEANGEL_ID) },
(end new part)
In the ipaq_id_table to be precise.
hope this helps (and the wiki is updated when online)

Uau!!!
Do you know is everything is syncable? (calendar, contact,..)
cannot make it work under suse 9.1 kernel 2.6.8.x
I've been trying to make Syncce under Suse 9.1 with kernel 2.6.8.x work. But no luck. Any suggestions or tips?
synce can sync with kde using Multisync. http://synce.sourceforge.net/synce/multisync_guide.php
I havn't used it myself, but I read good things.
As for the problem with Suse 9.1 with kernel 2.6.8.x you would have to be more specific.
did you modprobe usbserial and ipaq after modifyig the source, rebuilding the kernel, and rebooting?
If you did all of the above and you still have problems then post your dmesg output with the above loaded and the device pluged in.
cool! is this bluangel specific or could work also with xda-mini, ...?
Do u use synce with usb or bluetooth? tnx
you will ned to get the device id for the mini to make it work, but thats easy
the blueangel is 0x0a05, you see this when you use the tool usbview
click on ipaq, and then look for
Product Id: 0a05 (this will say a different device id)
change the above code, and replace the device id of the mini.
I have successfully used both bluetooth and usb to sync my pda.
check out http://synce.sourceforge.net/
could you make a howto:
ive been trying everything
here is what i have
i have the Audiovox XV6600 w/cam (default rom) got it like 1 month ago.
im running slack 10.2 with the test26.s kernel u can pick upon install (its 2.6.13)
i leave pda in regular mode and connect it through usb after i am in kde desktop
then i switch the pda mode to wmodem.
with kppp (dial up app) i select software xon/xoff mode
i select script
i try and find my modem and put it on dev/tty0 or /dev/tty1 and querry it
usually it does querry but all the commands come back blank
i try to log in and it says modem ready and then it goes to "initializing modem" and its not froze or hung but it just stays there
note: i do not see the 3 little lights in wmodem flash when i querry or try to connect.
with 2.6.13 i dont think you have to edit the ipaq.h or ipaq.c files in /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/serial
when i compile a kernel what option makes the ipaq module load?
ok thanks
anyone gonna try and help a fellow linuxer out?

Hi,
not so much at once. We are already running Linux
on Blueangel now
You don't need to recompile anything. Just
modprobe ipaq debug=1 vendor=XXXX product=YYYY
with vendor and product numbers.
Works here even on amd64 linux.
Can tell you the steps necessary to do from
the command line.
Don't know about KDE though.

well linux detects the modem with np and it automatically loads the ipaq module. i can verify this by doing the 'lsmod' command and its in there
im using the HARRIER model but should work close to the same.
ive tried to configure with pppsetup and also kppp from kde and havent had to much luck so far.
i know i have a symlink i create that goes like this
/dev/modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
with verizon i dont think it uses pap/chap as you can logon with just the #777 and no userass
i dont think modem uses hardware control or modem compression but i cant connect to verizon without it but when i look in my "WINXP" modem view log it says no hardware and no modem compression
anyhow ive tried with minicom and kppp and when i try to connect i see the ppc (wmodem) lights flashing on and off and i see in the log viewer a bunch of garbage
so i think this is a config prob
anyhelp will be greatly appreciated

You can lookup vendor and product in
the 'lsusb' output, then do 'rmmod ipaq' and
modprobe ipaq vendor=XXXX product=YYYY
if this is the problem.

i dont think that is the problem cause as isay its picled up ok upon boot (as i edited the ipaq.c file then compiled the module to do that already
my problem i believe is in the pppsetup program that creats files called "options", "pppscript", "papscript" and "chapscript" i believe
in those files its doing commands wmodem does not understand i think
i am going to try as u suggested and see what happens but i dont think its gonna do anything different as i can already communicate with the modem just my isp sends garbage (i think) or the modem sends garbage im not sure which one it is

I read a lot about android is running on this, and that.. lot of devices. Is there a possibility to run it on a T830? I don't know much about android, and it's hardware support, so this question might sound a bit lame
It have to be pda specific like windows mobile?
Android Kernel
Hello,
Well i think it is possible to compile a Android Kernel to boot on FSC T830. But the main problem is its hardware support. Well, FSC T830 has supported Processor and enough ROM and RAM to make Android fit in. I did not test it or did any work to compile such kernel but if you want to work on it then let me know . All we need are some basic info about the hardware to know if its worth trying or not.

What do we have to know about it?
Hardware Info.
Hi, Tookool
Well we need the chipset info about the GSM controller, mainboard, wlan, gps, bluetooth, display, touchscreen and keyboard.
We need the keyboard and display to work at the very first place else it would be impossible to do anything. I have read on the forum about dual booting from SD card using gnuharet.exe. So we can compile a kernel and boot it on SD memory. Well I'm going to take a look on the Android Kernel and try to compile it and run it over QEMU. Hope for the luck.

Hi,
I'm using the WM6.1 on my FCS T830 right now, but running Android on it sure sounds like an even cooler idea.
I hope somebody manages to get this working!!!

Hey!
Any news?
Well, is this project dead or what happened?
Donno, k1dugar isn't responding
Im sorry for late reply.
Hello,
I am sorry for late reply but somehow i lost the interest on building this image now bcoz of lack in features availability in Android which would make this image useless. I'm waiting for google to launch the full source code for it. I'm Working on making WM6.1 final rom where all feature will be working and stable.
Please carry on the work, i normally dont work in a way that i will do something and upload my final work. I like ppl to research themself and make it themself so they can learn and improve something on there way. Sure untile i think its stable and wont harm someone's hardware in anyway then i will upload the final work, until then just step by step guide.
Let me finsh WM6.1 with help of all you ppl and then we can work on Android, I personally Love *NIX system. I would be more then happy to make my phone run Linux.
A fully working wm 6.1 would be great Just keep up the work with that, android can wait Don't forget about the blue keyboard thing
Before to use Android, the first step must be to have a linux kernel working on T830.
I've tried to compile 2.6.28, but I haven't succes.
It isn't impossible, but it seems hard to make, because the kernel is strictly relate to hardware platform.
There is someone that want to try thiswith me ?
Let me now.
Thanks

I would like to help with everything I can. The only thing is that I never made such things like building a kernel or so But if you can provide me with instructions and things like that it would be great!
Hi TooKooL,
First steps to compile the kernel are very easy.
I'm using Fedora 10 so what I write is related.
There is the need to have the right Chaintool to compile.
I've found this information: http://loox-linux.sourceforge.net/chaintool.html
, but I work different:
1 - yum install arm* (is not the rigth command to use, but you need to install all arm-* packages)
2 - Download linux Kernel (i've used latest 2.6.28)
3 - Unpack tha kernel: tax xvzf linux-2.6.28.tgz
4 - make a symbolic link ln -s linux-2.6.28 linux
5 - modify top level Makefile in this way:
ARCH ?= arm
CROSS_COMPILE ?= /usr/bin/arm-gp2x-linux-
6 - run: make menuconfig
7 - Setup the right value in the lernel (drivers, cpu, ecc..) THIS IS THE TRUE PROBLEM!!!!
8 - run: make zImage
To load linux kernel use HaRET.
Copy on root of SD-CARD:
HaRET.exe
zImage
startup.txt
the startup.txt contain olny one row with the word "boot" (without quote)
Run HaRET and linux start to load..... if kernel is compiled rigth..... (i'm not lucky)
Other useful link are:

Let us know if you have some results...

Hi!
So, if I understand I need that chaintool (can't find download link on the page), a kernel (simple desktop linux version???). First of all make these things clear please After that I think I have to work with that chaintool as you mentioned in point 1, 4 ... Right? Sorry, but I'm new to this, I never even used linux before. Edit: ok, I found the kernels you mentioned, what files do I need to download?
linux-2.6.28.tar.bz2
linux-2.6.28.tar.bz2.sign
linux-2.6.28.tar.gz
linux-2.6.28.tar.gz.sign
linux-2.6.28.tar.sign
These?
And what about that arm package installation? It's a shame I'm a novice and I want to make this, but I have to start learning somehow
I've found other informations about to use HaRet to boot linux.
http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HowtoLinuxHaret
There is the need to partitioning the SD Card in two partitions, FAT16 and ETX3.
The FAT16 is used to boot linux (copy files: Haret.exe, zImage and startup.txt)
The Etx3 is usedt to save all Linux files (/boot, /usr, /bin, /var, and so on)
I've tried to start several kernel images without success.
Haret hang when on the screen appears "Jump to kernel...."
The device hang too, the only way to unlock it's a Factory Default server.
It seems only a Kenrel issue. I don't understand where I must start to compile a new kernel.
There are PDA similar T830 ? This maybe a good starting point.
I don't understand how to use sartup.txt
This file contains information for the boot sequence, I have only "boot" write in It, but other parameter are required (I think).
Surfing the nternet I've found the need to know GPIO, how must I use it ?
Tea4two.
WOW!!!
Little success.....
I've found this project about n560
http://www.elcom.pub.ro/~adrian.popa/n560-linux/
and Linux boot on T830 .... but hang suddenly....
I'm very happy, because this is a good starting point to port Android to T830
Attention!!! You MUST repartitioning SD-CARD before copy files on it to boot Linux.
Then Linux start, but hangs suddenly and the device vibrate endless.
The only way to stop is to remove the battery.....
then before to try: MAKE BACKUP OF YOUR DATA!!!!!
For Developers:
The good starting point is to download HandHeld kernel, running follow command:
cvs -d server:[email protected]:/cvs checkout -d linux-2.6.x-hh linux/kernel26
Then use looxn560_defconfig: make looxn560_defconfig
And after..... we need to understand how change kernel config to match T830 hardware.
We need to use in the rigth way GPIO's.
GPIO's are connected to various devices (led, keyboard, touchscreen, vibrate....), so wrong configuration hang the linux boot.
Good work...

I'll definiately try this later today, and I'm looking for that boot info for haret too.
Hi, yesterday i was trying to launch android on my BA and i DID IT!
It works like ****:
Touchscreen doesn't work (you can activate list scrolling by pushing it on the side)
Some buttons don't work
No sound
Navigation:
D-pad (left, right, up, down)
Enter (on the keyboard, since D-Pad center doesn't work)
!WARNING! there is no end call and back buttons, you can't exit applications
How to? Here is the tutorial:
Create a folder on your memory card
Get the latest HaRET from here http://handhelds.org/~koconnor/haret/
Get the latest zImage from here http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unstable/autobuild/htcblueangel/
(i use zImage-2.6.21-hh20-r16-htcblueangel.bin)
Rename it to zImage
Put that default.txt
Code:
set kernel zImage
set initrd "initrd-android.gz"
set CMDLINE "rootdelay=3 root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size=23504 init=/linuxrc"
boot
Now you need the system - Android
Get that: http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/initrd-android
Don't forget to rename it to initrd-android.gz
I've got it from here http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/
it stays in jumping to kernel... i followd the steps above, did you copy pasted the command correctly??

Just launch Haret.exe
Speed... hm... Almost like WM6
a lot slower than wm6 the android image should be tweaked in order to have proper drivers for touchscreen keys and sound
wow...very cool, I'll be looking for updates (if there are any)
hi friends,
i tested android and seems a good toy
i did make a rar with all files needed, you need only to extract to SD and run haret
Code:
http://rapidshare.com/files/147524450/android.rar.html
i'm really interested to go further on android.
about my tests, i can conclude two things:
- D-pad works, but not very well
- Touch screen is not working, but i know it detect moves on it
(try to dpad a icon, then touch the touch-screen, you ll see)
I'm not a expert on pocket pc, but i have my skills.
I found an other thing, hardware specification.
Code:
http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/BlueAngelHardware
if the information is right, the touchscreen is from the same family that the vogue one.
To continue this adventure, i need some lights. I know we have a developer from the kernel/Opie/GPE in this forum. If you are him, i need some lights about your work.
The other thing, i'll try to do is asking help to vogue/kaiser android project, to give me some lights how they touchscreen work.
The last thing. All the help is appreciated, everybody is invited in this project and all the help is welcome. And i really need it lol
udapte (23/9/2008)
Well i talk do vogue android project man, and the answer from him is simple. His work was only to port kernel to vogue platform. I will have to find who made the one we are using.
The touchscreen is detected, but somehow it doesn't work.
i have failed .
my BA get a FlashDIsk and ramdisk in WM6 enrironment..
when i run haret ....
after jumping to kernal
an error occur
can't mount SDcard .it's halt..
why...
How about your work? I'm working on this task also. Need more information to make it working. Could you give me some patches for BA's kernel.
Also the SC Card Message, any adivice o workaround?
w0w...
it runs on my BA. Great!
However I cant do anything inside. But thanks to all of you that make this possible.
I'm waiting for the next release, hope it will run faster, and all get better.
Thanks.
Is anything happening with this?
Any news?
Is vogue version working? I have try to build a kernel for BA but false to boot
Will try and report later....
kernel
I have A LOT of, like everything I could find, files to load linux on the Blue Angel. Angstrom, Familiar, QT...somethingsomething... Anyway, it works well except the wireless which I think should work until the thing goes into standby. Would the zImage/initrid files or any of the others help? I'd like to help ya get this working, I think most of the works been done. I must say, however, I am just learning about how this stuff works. I can't code, but I have a BA, lots of experience repairing hardware like ppcs and I really would love the chance to finally give back to this wonderful community after they've given me so much.
It would be great to get this working. It would give my pda2k a whole new lease on life.
any updates on this?
Thanks
so, any news? android would be quite nice.
i concur. i'd liketo see a android on the blueangel, why isnt there one? linux runs fine on it, theres an older android that supposidly boots on it.
cmon somebody make the damn thing work.
Time changes, and things go better and better.
This thread is dedicated to test the android and try to figure out where is the problem
[NEWS]
The NEW KERNEL ROCKS.. With double RAM.
And the new rootfs is cleaner than before.
I am going to release a new package (which I just did some small editing)
What can you do with this package?
Connect ADB (very important for debugging)
Put everything in a folder of your SDCard
Supply with NEW kernel and now you have more free RAM
Enjoy the cleaner rootfs (I have made some small modifications)
Download : http://www.mediafire.com/?1tbnyz2jmky
If any of you know how to enable chat in irc, please let me know.
BASICS:
Current Android boot from HARET which start from Windows Mobiles.
It consist of several components. Each of those is having unique functions.
1. STARTUP.TXT
Passing parameters to kernel which enable users to specify machine specific data
Current parameters including screen size, dpi, rotation, etc.
2. Kernel
The most important piece of code that enable everything to talk to the machine.
Developers here are most focus on this area as the other are greatly supported by google and other developers.
Kernel also determine what the hardware could do, and how it connects to other devices.
3. rootfs.img
This is the root of the linux, which initialize the OS. Especially running some startup scripts and mounting folder.
4. system.sqsf
The is the base Operating System of something call ANDROID. For others, you may considered them the basic environment of mobile Linux. For what we call CupCake / Donut / Eclair are stored here.
What we will be doing is to test out the features and bugs and locate the part of the about components affecting it.
Updated ADB howto:
Grab my base package.
Connect to computer before running Haret.
Wait until Android boot complete.
Install Google SDK USB drive for whatever device show up.
droid explorer or "adb device" to test.
If no device found, replug the usb cable.
This post would be updated with agenda drawing most concerns. We need your testing to see if you have any similar problems.
Agenda:
Top priority:
Device can't be wake.
Rear speaker always on.
This post would updates the testing items, and report the latest status.
Everything here are replaced with most recent findings and once more users confirmed, it moves up.
Do not believe everything in this post, but try falsify it. Reports in here would be presices to the level of component and versions.
So make sure you know what you are testing.
This post is a testing invitation, with trials and errors.
If someone raised an interesting phenomenon, we are going to invites members to test it. And the result format would be given as well.
This post may be changed from time to time to refect the new items needed to test (including the return format)
Now, let's kick start.
#1 To Test the base package in post 1
Return with following format.
Machine Type: BLAC100 (other devices are welcomed, but of course we are BLAC owners and would focus on it)
Test build: 2010.2.4
Radio: 1.17.25.09
WIFI ON: YES (WPA)
WIFI OFF: YES
Calendar / Gmail : BOTH OK
Google Voice: OK
Deep Sleep: YES (To test it, disable WIFI, Any USB, and press END KEY to sleep. If deep sleep is working, the system should not be up with key other than the power key)
Wake up: Crashed sometimes initially and get stablized later
ADB Connection: OK

Thanks for your report. Developers is aware of the wake up issue of blackstone. It is however, seems still not fixed in the new kernel.
And Pierre-Hugues Husson would disable the deep sleep function (consume a little more battery) in up coming kernels, and we can try it on very soon.

Thanks for the update.
mcdull,
Brendan shanks has changed pid on kernel to "0c01", this should enable working with ADB without hacking the inf file.
This was deployed on Build: [email protected]_071547.
Let us know if this makes any difference for you, and whether HTC sync is now possible.
Thanks
It works perfect
hello,
I am using ANDROID_bLACKSTONE_TESTBUILD_20100125.ZIP & zImage-modules-20100129_022341 and it works perfect on my Blackstone till now.
Wi-Fi - OK
Synchronization with google account - OK
Sleep mode - OK
It is FAST
Call IN and OUT - OK
SMS - OK

AFAIK, HTC Sync will not work just yet. And I was not able to connect to ADB after the change. I need to test on some editing.
- Theory
As I already mentioned, the latest implementation of kernel prevent the proper installation of usb driver, and we need to fall back to old kernel to install the driver first (which the old kernel has 0c02 address).
Now, the modification has put the case into dead end. coz we can have no way to ask the computer to install a correct driver with 0c01 address.
In such case it is more difficult to modify the whole batch of driver setting then just the ini. I still have no go in using ADB.
The HTC Dream driver for windows seems works on ADB again.
As suggested by Brendan Shanks, you need to modify the "eclair.user.conf" (stored in the conf/ folder on your SD card), at the bottom, add this line to the custom_shells section:
echo 2 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch
And I have successfully to connect to ADB again.

Thanks for that. I will try also.
Today, I started seeing the traffic animating 3G icon for the first time.
Great.!!
ADB working
Thank's mcdull ,using the Brendan Shanks method , ADB is working very well.
I'm using the 29-01 kernel and i changed the eclair.user.conf.
After that , the Droid explorer works well .
Bluetooth and GPS , the last frontier.
Regards.

Thank you so much, to bad I can only give you one thanks :laugh: , now everything is working again. I dont know what the dev changed on the update but something did dealing with the sprint modem..etc. and it all went down hill.
Seems like someone else had that problem too.... thought I read it in the reviews..
taulic,
please be so kind and remove the public access to the APK file.
The original package is fixed now.
Note that the program itself is free of cost but not free to copy. If people run into trouble I will provide older versions when asked.

Hi There,
The app works fine when I install it first, my dongle i being recognized no problem. However if I disconnect, and unplug the dongle and try to connect again, the widget shows "no modem found".
I have tried forcing the app to stop, uninstall stickmount as I thought there was clash between both apps and still it doesn't work. the only work around I v found is to re-install the app, which is not very convenient when on the go and needing internet in the first place to be able to access it.
Would you be willing to provide me the APK installer as I am quite happy to install the app whenever I need it, or maybe suggest a workaround?
you have done a fantastic job by the way

file is no longer available
Will you please re-upload the file (PPP wedget 1.00 APK) in drop box since the hyperlink says (The file you are looking for has been deleted or moved). Thank you very much
You should first, email the author of the app and see if he can help you with your problem.
I'm not sure I still have the app in backup... as I only save them for so long. (But I'll check).
For those people having problems with this app, there is a forum and active discussion
Here, click forum link at bottom of page.

If you have older version of PPP Widget 1.00 (apk file), please post a link. I have tried many changer.bat options since your last post; both uberoid v11 and 12.1. Nothing seems to work so far to make the ZTE-MF190 work again since upgrade from stock ROM. Tried 2 look for this file however no success. Thank you.

Sir,
Using samsung note i717with official jb rom 4.1.2, ppp app says driver not found, device log is as above. Request you to help in this regard.
Hey Gemini-owners,
I am looking to find a suitable device for WLAN engineers, and this PDA seems like the ideal candidate.
Before I recommend this device to my bosses, I need to make one thing sure though, and for that, I need your help.
When running GNU/Linux, can this device's WLAN nic be set to monitor mode?
Could someone please try this out for me? I don't have the device myself, but I'll be happy to help if needed.
Thanks in advance.

I can try it out if you know the debian cmds to set it that way and change it back ? or you might try looking or asking in this forum https://www.oesf.org

Hey Bled82,
Great to get a response so soon!
I'll list the commands here below:
( These commands assume you have sudo rights on the device )
$sudo apt install aircrack-ng ==> I know, it sounds a bit shady, but that's the name of the software suite, nothing I can change about that. :-/
$sudo airmon-ng ==> use this command to see the list of devices airmon-ng can detect. Your wi-fi card should show up in the form of wlan0 or something similar.
$sudo airmon-ng start wlan0
And that's all to it, if all of the above give no errors, then it should be OK.
You should now have an interface called wlan0mon, meaning the change to monitor mode was succesful.
EDIT ** If you want to undo the above commands just type sudo airmon-ng stop wlan0mon ***
Can you try these out?
Thanks in advance!

Doesn't work out of box on the debian Technical preview 2 , Maybe on the sailfish release it has available currently ? The debian build is still not fully baked FYI .

Hi Bled82
That was to be expected, I suppose.
Could I ask for one more test with an external adapter, should you have one?
I believe the Gemini does support external USB-devices, no?

Yes it does , I have connected multiple devices and usb hubs that work well in android , mixed results in Debian , which is not a big surprised they are still working to provide a fully baked distro on debian , sailfish 3 is in the works also and looks promising .
