Linux on the Blue Angel - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Hello Everyone,
There is a very excellent forum topic for Linux on the Universal (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=251584). I was wondering if we could start a similar one for the Blue Angel. I recently installed Opie II (Qtopia) on my Blue Angel from http://www.linuxtogo.org/~htcpxa/ and it looks good, I was just wondering what the status was.
Thank you,
Tim

Hmmm, this looks interesting.
So from my reading of the Universal thread and the scant txt files I have found do I take it you copy the Haret and image files to the root of your sd card and then run haret?
Looks easy... too easy!

I have tried to start linux with different linux images on my blue angel but without success.
Maybe linux couldn't run with windows mobile 6 pro on blueangel ?
harat cans start but X-Windows (and Opie ...) freezes. Does anyone have the same experiences ?

Which files do I need to copy to the SD card? There is a .rar.gz file, do I need to extract that file in my computer? Thanks.

i haved used some images from here:
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unstable/autobuild/htcblueangel/
zImage-2.6.21-hh20-r6-htcblueangel.bin
and it works.
But there is no wifi driver loaded.
My question is how can i insert/load wifi driver to this image ?

http://www.algepop.net/users/alge/angstrom-ba/images/htcblueangel/
it works.
But linux seems slower as windows mobile.

linux is only the kernel. GPE seems to be slower than wince.
Try qtopia, it writes directly to the framebuffer, so it is the
fastest linux phone GUI.

Linux PC needed
Any way to install Linux on the BA without a Linux PC? I'd like to try Linux but I only have a Windows Vista PC

Problem with Qtopia not Recognizing SIM
Hello Everyone,
I loaded Qtopia on my BA and it works pretty good, but it doesn't recognize the SIM card and it says "No Modem Connection" and "No VoIP Connection." Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks,
Tim

The same happens to me, but phone works OK for this build whith GPE "http://www.algepop.net/users/alge/an.../htcblueangel/"
Log as root and start "Phone" app (is gomunicator).
I tried Qtopia (http://www.linuxtogo.org/~htcpxa/) and GPE. GPE seems more intuitive for me.

Hi, there!
I already tried everthing to get my phone workin but still get no success
I think there is a problem with my audio cause it mostly even plays no sound
i already tried booting with haret while playing a sound or maybe its a wm6 problem?
maybe anyone knows?!
greets

newest gpe based soft doesn't allow calling. Starting gomunicator it says 'cannot open connection to phone module in /dev/ttyS0: permission denied'.
I've been trying and searching for the correct /dev/ttySx, but none of them seem to work.
Anyone using a working gpe setup, where gomunicator works?
Can you let me know where to set what config option?
Thanks!

/dev/ttyS0 is correct for the GSM
You need to apply some patches and changes that you can see at http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/BlueAngelHowtoInstallLinux , section "Some setup hints"
See below ...
The phone speaker will be silent during calls until you set the mixer settings of "Output Mux" to "Mixer", either via alsamixer or by using a proper /etc/asound.state file (eg. http://www.algepop.net/users/alge/angstrom-ba/asound.state).
Even with a correct /etc/asound.state file you have to restore that state before running the phone application (tested with gomunicator):
/etc/init.d/alsa-state start
It seems that after a suspend/resume cycle the mixer value needs to be set again.
If you dont run gpe as root (by creating a user on the first startup), you have no access to the serial device /dev/ttyS0. fix this by adding group "dialout" to addgroups line of /etc/gpe/gpe-login.conf so that it contains:
addgroups audio,video,dialout
Please, let us to know if it works for you.
I'm considering to prepare an installation with the Albrecht's patches ( http://www.algepop.net/users/alge/angstrom-ba/images/htcblueangel/ ) and put it on some server. It's the BA Linux that worked better for me.
Searching posts, it seems that cr2 and goxboxlive has more experience on this port.

Hi,
I just upload a new version with phone support + some tools. Phone support is still in developpement ( phone call/receive works, but only sms receive works ) GPRS is working too. Just change your current GPRS profile password and DNS.
I'll try to upload later an image like it is done on HTC Unviersal with an autoinstall.
http://linuxtogo.org/~htcpxa/htcblueangel/Qtopia.
Notice that actually this works fine on Blueangel Board ID 5.
To remember what is your board id please look here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueangelBoardIDs or just start linux image and look at cat /proc/cpuinfo.
And to finish Qtopia is faster than Windows Mobile
Good luck
Fabrice

Hi Fabrice.
I tested your build. It's really great and fast, thanks!
I have some questions: when I make/receive calls I can ear the other part but I need to cry to the microphone if I want that the other part ears me. You noticed something similar?
Also I don't know how to suspend/resume with this version. With algepop's GPE it worked (sometimes) for me.
My board id is 0x5

I think qtopia is not sending some AT command to the phone which adjusts the mic gain.

Yes, microphone need some attention, need to look at it. Have to look like cr2 say around AT command.
For your suspend issue it is because Qtopia is set to shutdown alone after some seconds by default, just look in Settings-> LIgh icon -> battery and set greater value.
Actually i don't know why power button as no effect for suspend. Anyway it works to power on device after suspend just press it and be carefull to check if your backlight settings are ok ( i do this mistake many times ).
In next version i just add support for messenging system and try to look at power button too.

Fabrice

I'd love to try Qtopia on my BA, but I'm running Vista on my laptop...not Linux...is there any other way to do this from Windows?

Guide to upgrading Universal with MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe

How to update your rom to the latest I-mate version (with push email) and Radio 1.09.0 using the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe method
1 – download the file “Universal_Upgrade_v1.30.68_radio_1.09.0.zip” from the ftp site (see bottom of post for details)
2 - double click the file and allow it to unpack into a folder
3 – right click on the active sync icon in your tasks tray on you pc (at the stage you should NOT have you universal plugged in)
4 – select connection setting then untick “allow USB connections”
5 – Now take your Universal and take out the SIM and MEMORY CARD
6 – Press light + power + reset with the phone on, this will place the universal into bootloader mode
7 – Connect your Universal via the USB cable to your computer directly i.e. not though a USB hub
8 – Now double click on the program called “MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe” (found in to folder from step 1) this will start the upgrade process, the first stage takes about 3 to 5 minutes to complete, you will then be presented with a screen showing a “Imate Jam” and some information about what you are upgrading to, don’t be worried if this screen does not show you the version numbers you have at present that is normal.
9 – Now continue with the process by clicking upgrade/next
10 – After sometime (about 20 minutes) you should be at the end screen tell you to unplug and reset you “jam” So now unplug your universal and reset it and that’s all there is to it!
Note that during the upgrade process you can follow the progress by also looking at your universal screen with a light source as the backlight will be off.
I hope this post helps someone as looking around the forum Im amazed by the amount of people asking “how do I upgrade my rom” or “I only get a “country id error” when trying to update”
The “Universal_Upgrade_v1.30.68_radio_1.09.0.zip” file can be found here
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/Universal_Upgrade_v1.30.68_radio_1.09.0.zip
This file contains the latest imate beta rom v1.30.68 and the latest radio 1.09.0 plus all the tools you need
Oh and if anyone thinks Ive missed something out please post and let me know!
File as been moved its now at :-

Blank screen but do you have the USB or SERIAL written on the Screen?
Rat didn't mention in his post but it comes out in the last screen that it is supposed to be a HARD RESET which will bring about a menu where you have to press 0 (Zero) to ahrd reset the device. hope this helps
Yip, sorry, That's correct. I get the screen that says I have to press 0 to reset or X to exit.
If I press 0 the screen goes blank and stays like that.
I've installed the previous ROM now and it is working perfectly. It's just the new ROM on this page doesn't want to work on my Jasjar.

I downloaded it straight from the first post and it installed flawlessly...
Have you tried installing it from bootloader mode instead of direct update? And without SD card in the PDA? This might work.
BTW, I have returned to the older ROM.... advantages don't outweigh the disadvantages.
My phone keeps on hanging (for the 1st time ever after 5 months use and different ROMs) on the screen where it shows whose calling. I havent answered the call yet but it stops ringing. When i open the PDA it has ANSWER on the left softkey and pressing this doesn't do anything. Will wait for the release..
It is a lot faster thought (the test ROM)
Thanks for the info. I'm not gonna bother upgrading now. I'll wait for a decent ROM later.
Thanks m8
umm - stupid question I know.....
But what does this actually DO??
I understand that this will upgrade the radio stack and thus produce better reception etc - but what else will it do??
If I have an Orange M5000 will I still be able to use it on Orange's network?? Do i need to fill in any settings? Do I need to make notes of certain stuff beforehand? If so - what settings?
I assume this will totally rewrite the registry and what programs are on teh device - or will it??
I suppose a lot of this information is available on the forum - but tracking it down can take a lot of time for someone who's not necessarily that 'au fait' with the working of the device.

I also have an orange M5000 which I would like to get off Orange to use my Vodafone SIM - would installing this new ROM be the way to go ?
not if your phone is simlocked (or network locked). new rom is only the software.
Yeah, sorry
Just reading the other thread on this - sorry , am a relative newby.
It looks like MachineGod and Buzz are on the case though - and with their track record........
I wanted to confirm that Ratcom's file he linked to is good (not corrupt) and his method for upgrade works. Nice work, Ratcom.

Change from JP to EN for use in Japan?

Just went to the Softbank store (formerly Vodafone Japan) and saw the X01HT (Hermes). It looks great, but it is WM5 in Japanese. I have read a few posts about needing a new ROM to change languages. Is this something I could realistically consider?
For all you experts, will any of the existing (cooked, baked, whatever) English ROMs work on the Softbank version of the HTC hermes, and still have the device function as a mobile phone in Japan?
If yes, then I will pour through the site some more to figure out the details.
TIA
Read Upgrading FAQ #1 on the hermes wiki, it answers your question:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeFAQ
Then download any english rom for the Hermes from here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
And read upgrading FAQ #5 if your device has a non-english keyboard.
According to some Japanese people who bought SoftBank X01HT, it has special protection that avoid booting without effective SoftBank SIM card, and uses new access point setting for flatrate internet connection.
Worse than all, it CANNOT unlock with imei-check.co.uk or any existing unlock solution!
I guess all settings may be contained as CAB file in Extended_ROM, however still I never confirm and get it yet, since I have no plan to buy X01HT (I already have another Hermes).
If anybody who have X01HT read here, please upload the contents of Extended_ROM into ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]/Hermes/
So as of now, I DON'T recommend to update (change) Japanese to English ROM, until more information about X01HT are collected, especially how to restore connection setting and bypass SIM-absent protection.
FYI... the "PC Site Direct" of SoftBank is Japan's first real flatrate internet for 3G mobile without WAP proxy.
You can use Skype or video streaming unlimitedly, however it blocked SSL and some TCP ports (not confirmed all ports yet), so you cannot use Direct Push and wireless ActiveSync with Exchange Server (SoftBank said they will support Direct Push in near future, however...).

Thanks for your warning. But I'm not sure if my situation is the same. I want to use the X01HT with a Softbank SIM card and EN menus. Will installing Extended ROMs for English work with me in that situation?
Quick answer is no. You cannot change the ROM of X01HT yet. Wait until someone finds the way.
Please Excuse my Ignorance, but HOW do you flash a ROM?

Hi, I have been reading all about upgrading Extended ROMs for the last hour, I have downloaded JASJAM_WWE_1.20.305.3_1.20.305.104_1.07.03.10_ship and am ready to flash my unlocked X01HT, but I can't figure out how to actually do it?
Is it done in ActiveSync? Because my version is in Japanese and nothing shows up on my computer. If there is a separate utility, please point me in the right direction. There isn't a readme in my ROM file.
TIA

your comment says that you do not know what you are doing... upgrading the ext rom and burning a rom are totally different things.
anyway, i suppose you wanna burn another rom. rom files are usually archived. just uncompress the archived file to get all necessary files. then, run ROMUpgradeUt.exe and follow the instruction.
if you do not understand the instruction completely, you might better consider giving yourself a second thought before you make it a brick... softbank might charge you the full price of the unit (85,000 yen?) for repair or exchange in the worst case. just a kind warning...
i recommend you read wiki well until you understand basics... good luck.

qtotter, thanks for your help. I am now seeing English on my X01HT!! But there are a few more outstanding issues I need to address, which I will ask here, and then continue to search for an answer:
Q: Activesync on my desktop is still in Japanese. Anyway to convert that to English?
I'm basically following the steps dandare123 and you outlined to switch to English. see the post
Q: It's not clear if you let the iMate extended ROMs install or not. I did. Then I moved the Softbank extended ROMs to the extended ROM folder and hit 'autorun'. Both times the installer seemed to hang at the very end, and I just reset. the Hermes seemed to be working, but I don't know if I am missing anything important. Thoughts?
Q: I installed Skype and made a skype call. Worked fine, except the output went to the speakerphone and I couldn't switch to either the earpiece or the bluetooth headset paired in headset mode.
Q: speaking of bluetooth, I can pair my headset, but can't seem to get audio onto it. I haven't tried just the phone to the bluetooth headset, but should I be able to get the system audio onto the headset?
Many thanks in advance.

autorun is used when you hard-rest the device. if you want to use softbank ext rom, delete everything in the ext rom, copy all the files from softbank ext rom files to the ext rom, and perform hard-reset. (although i don't understand why you need softbank ext rom...)

i would say bt is so complex... anyway, check what you called "my headset" and its supporting profiles. if it supports A2DP, you can use it as stereo audio headset. if not, it is a headset you can use as a mobilephone speaker and a microphone.
btw, hermes A2DP is great! it was much better than i expected. i can use a bt headphone unit i bought for my ipod!!
http://www.mobilecast.co.jp/en/products/handsfree_earfone/mlinkr_series/index.html
thou, i could not use it with htc universal (qtek9000.)
qtotter, you have been so helpful. I'm going to search for a new BT headset with AD2P profile for skype.
So my one remaining problem is that I can't connect to Softbank's 3G network. I was following the instructions as detailed by dandare123 in a separate post, link above. I just repeated everything in the following order:
- flashed the with (iMate) JASJAM_WWE_1.20.305.3_1.20.305.104_1.07.03.10_ship
- reset before the iMate ExtendedROMs were installed (because it hung the first time)
- installed the it4Cat tweaker to unhide the /Extended_ROM folder
- copied the Softbank ExtendedROMs over to the /ExtendedROM folder
- and 'autoran' the Softbank ExtendedROMs to a successful completion.
This time, I noticed that the softbank connection was automatically installed, with the APN=open.softbank.ne.jp. I'm assuming that the password is correct.
But when I try to access the internet via Softbank, I get "Cannot Connect for an unknown reason..."
Any ideas? should I run the iMate Extended ROMs?
TIA.

Check. It's set to PAP. Is there any chance one of the iMate ExtendedROMs needs to be installed? That seems like it's the only thing that I may have done different from dandare123.

ext roms include bug fixes, career settings, and apps provided by careers.
i don't think ext rom has something to do with the internet connection in your case since i have been using the open softbank internet access without installing anything from the ext rom.
i manually set up an connection myself, and it works with open softbank perfectly.
if it does not work out on your phone, there could two possible reasons; a) your connection setting is not correct or b) there could be a signal issue in your area.
I just created the following connection manually
APN:open.softbank.ne.jp
ID:open
PASSWD:o z R t 8 n 2 9 R a 1 P s d 0 7
still no go. One thing I notice is that I am on the 'UMTS Vodafone' network and instead of 3G I see a 'U' at the top. Is that correct?

read files from bootloader...phone stuck in calibration screen and activesync KO???

Hi to all! I installed a new cooked great rom to my trinity a month ago and it worked fine. it is this rom
[ROM][ITA]WM 6.1 Elegance edition 2.14 (OS 5.2.19213 Build 19213.1.0.0)[ONLINE]
today I got a strange error and the phone was stuck. I unplugged the battery and when I started again it was stuck on the calibration screen. if I tap on the screen nothing happens but the backlight turns on if it was off so it still catches the taps. I connected the phone via usb to delete from the autostart menu the link to the configuration screen (welcome.exe) but the phone is not deteced by activesync so no way to browse folders on my device or use a program like SOTI to control the ppc. I want to bring it back to life as I know that my files hasn't been deleted. in fact if I press the right soft button I get a menu of a program I put in the ppc and it's not included in the elegance rom so I'm sure my files and my configuration and everything are still there.
if i get a phone call the phone rings (with the default ringtone anyway, but the name of the caller is displayed correctly, that's why I'm sure my device still has all my contacts and more)
what could I do?
is there a way to edit files from bootloader? does mtty work for this? (I have no idea how to use mtty so I might be wrong) could I make a full dump, edit the startup folder and reflash the phone with all my data?
I tried to use mortscript witht the autorun feature to read a part of the register regarding the welcome file and deleting it's link in the startup folder but the sd card driver is not loaded I think as the files are not launched, while in another phone the same script works fine.
thanks in advance to all who will have time and will to help me

as far as i know (not that much), reading files from bootloader is pretty impossible.
You can always just reflash. If the touchscreen problem persists, it's possible that the problem is hardware related.
Your computer should detect your device when in bootloader, and failing that, you should be able to SD flash (assuming you're HardSPL'd or equivalent, thats just what we have in the herald forum)
Thanks for your help
I'm quite sure the hardware is fine as all my problems started after a crash of the OS.
Anyone has an idea to get access to my ppc?

Hi to all! I installed a new cooked great rom to my trinity a month ago and it worked fine. it is this rom
[ROM][ITA]WM 6.1 Elegance edition 2.14 (OS 5.2.19213 Build 19213.1.0.0)[ONLINE]
today I got a strange error and the phone was stuck. I unplugged the battery and when I started again it was stuck on the calibration screen. if I tap on the screen nothing happens but the backlight turns on if it was off so it still catches the taps.

if the sdcarddriver is not loaded then the following will not work but give it a try anyways. make a text file "whatever.txt" no quotes then rename it to "welcome.not" no quotes then put it in the root of your storage card and it should skip the whole startup process. that is if it loads the sd card driver or you might want to think about flashing another rom
I already tried the "welcome.not" trick but got no results. I'm afraid that the sd card driver is not loaded then.
Thanks for the hint irus anyway!
Really there's no way to read files from bootloader or something similar?
not that i know of
but the fact that your issue was noticed during a rom flash
dont mean it's not hardware related
much like a heart attack which happens during a thunderstorm
dont need be related to the thunderstorm
Wait! The error never happened during a flash. I never said it. I had that rom on my trinity since a month and it worked like a charm. Then suddenly I got an error and the phone was stuck.
I have understood what you mean but at least I hope it's not a hardware failure!

Android on Omnia 2

All credit to 'Rufik'
Everything in it is prepared to boot Android straight from SD Card & internal memory - no need to make linux (ext2/3) partition at all. Quick guide:
1. unpack files and put haret.exe, zImage, initrd.cpio.gz, default.txt into root directory of your Omnia's SD Card (Storage Card)
2. put rootfs.img into root directory of your internal memory (My Storage)
3. run haret.exe and click "run"
4. you should see damn small haret's fonts, crc checking should pass with success, haret will jump into kernel
5. now kernel is booting, many messages and logo are visible. I've set a 10sec delay before mounting root filesystem, so you can see message that mmcblk has been found and partitions printed out
6. any failure within kernel booting ends up with kernel panic and phone restart after 30 seconds
7. successful booting results in some long-last message and "android" animation
8. in minute or two you will see desktop

It's working on mine, just follow the instructions provided and you're all set
so are all the buttons mapped correctly? and does WIFI, GPS, Market, standard-phone functions working?
on the omnia i920 I have android running..only problem is none of the buttons are mapped correctly. There is no Wifi. I'm not able to make calls either. Basically it's a visual goodie for now. I read on Modaco that they have the GPS working I think. It doesn't work on mine however. There is no sound either. I really hope someone can get this working fully because from what I seen it's a sweet os.
theres still a lot to be done ... the project is beeing directed by a guy named almar ...theres a lot of development to do on the drivers ..
two o/s
can work 2 os win&android
we need to get some devs on here to help out almar is one guy and he has done great but he seems busy with life and i think is in exam period. So if you guys know any devs that know android i think we should be able to help him out with drivers.
Hi,
I have Samsung B7610. I tried running the package, Everything appeared as mentioned. I think the buttons are not mapped. It does not detect the network.
I feel at the present stage, it cannot be used for normal telephony.
But, would like to thank for providing this oppurtunity, I am happy to see Android on my phone.

extract to SD card and then go to \Storage card\fathom
Click on clrcad 4-5 times and then click on haret
For wifi it is must to copy \windows\nvram.txt to \Storage Card
if it is difficult to copy from windows folder use attached one
[Note : In this version i have disabled fb console so you will not see any text while booting so wait at least wait 5 min if none appears do soft reboot and then retry]
I have worked on Toshiba kernel and ported that kernel for LG fathom.
As of Now following Works
GSM (Partially)
Battery
TouchScreen
3D
Audio (only through front speaker)
Keypad (Need some work with Fn key)
Battery
USB (start haret while usb connected)
USB Mass Storage and ADB
wifi
Not working
Bluetooth
Vibrator
Issue( Solved now)
1) Screen will flicker when USB cable was removed. workaround is to set any live wallpaper.
How to run
extract files on Storage card
goto /Storage Card/tg01
click 4-5 times on clrcad
and then run haret-pre-0.5.3-20100625_144828-QSD8250-ONLY.exe
http://www.multiupload.com/GK0FCMUVX6
for wifi extract following file and put replace zImage with this one and copy bcm4329.ko to /system/lib/modules also copy \windows\nvram.txt to \Storage Card
Link for wifi

great work
great job dude. this was totally unexpected.
at this stage of development with such performance its looking like bright future for android on fathom. installed it...will check...
thankyou
Hello bro, i'm from india. I own lg fathom and i checked yours installing android on fathom. Plz could u explain it in brief and also mention minimum requirement of storage on storage card and the type of storage card. Plz mention it in detail. I tried to install it in first and it gave error "smd_alloc_v1: cid 47 does not exist". And at the second time the screen started flickering and hanged up there only. So plz tell me in detail. I have been waiting for long about this.

The amplifier IC is LM49151 and i am not able to find the driver for the same once we will get driver for that audio problem will be solved..
Hey ajit bhai, plz update the thread as and when u find any modifications.
Hey guys, after when switch on to android it takes around 15 minutes to get the signal and recognised and when u cal, the end button does not work so for that u have to press hold and then press end button and then it works. And it does not support messaging and internet also. I just thought to say the problems bcaz its my first time abt tweaking. So plz anybody finds any solution plz do let me knw. Thank u guys for ur advancement.
rvin42 thank u again for ur reply. Plz anybody found any changes for this. What i mean is that you guys know that some of the features are not working on when u port into android like microphone, no message support, no internet support although it shows operator name and also no speaker, bit flickering but you can follow rvin42's idea. So plz anybody do something. Try anything guys.
downloaded and will test it in a while. i can test anything you want, i have lg expo and its just my spare phone. barely use it for movies. i also want android with DLP support!!
ran it and haret froze, then ran it again and booted but got stuck at creating new data.
Hello el_venga, hey lg expo has same configuration as fathom, so plz if u find anything new or modification abt the android plz let us know man. Hey by the way if u need any help u can ask here.
