Htc Universal, ... running Debian EABI Options

[ShiroiKuma]

I'm experiencing strange behavior with titchy-phoneui-glossy.

If I send an SMS using the commandline with titchy-phone-daemon, it is sent, and then the glossy UI pops up for the confirmation, but the confirmation is not displayed in alerts.

If I send an SMS from the phonebook section of the glossy UI, it kills titchy-phone-daemon and doesn't send anything. What could the problem be?

Message statuses are displayed next to the sent messages (lit blue arrow is pending, unlit blue arrow is delivered, red arrow is failed).

Is there an error message in /var/log/titchy-phoneui-shiny after the crash?

Oh well, so then this would partly explain the absence. Since I send SMS's from my Emacs UI, in the keitai package that I've put together, the sent message is not displayed in the glossy UI, as you've made it to only show messages that are sent from the UI. So no message, no message status next to it.

Wouldn't it make more sense, since you already do logging of all calls and SMS's to log files, for the UI to not only show new messages and calls etc. that it records since it comes on. But to actually read the logs and display the full history, of calls, SMS's etc?

Is there an error message in /var/log/titchy-phoneui-shiny after the crash?

I'll check it.

I'd like to remap the OK key as right shift, but can't figure out to do this. Have tried

CODE

keycode 0x43 = Shift

in /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz and

CODE

keycode 75 = Shift_R
add Shift = Shift_R

in .xmodmaprc and various combinations of the two, but the OK doesn't work as shift in these two instances. At best it only shifts a couple of keys and that's it.

Anyone know how I can achieve the remap?

Not all about linux, but I found interesting info about USB host in PXA27x devices. Here it is:

In shortcut, if we were lucky, we get USB host on sync port of our Uni's (only on Linux). But somebody must check it, I currently didn't have uni...

Hi,

after a while a tried today to start again with my titchy installation from scratch, as in my first try half a year ago the phone applications did not work.

I was wondering a little bit that the initial installation using /sbin/titchybootstrap2 and /etc/rcS.d/S99titchybootstrap3 did not work. I fixed the calls to dpkg there, added some missing debs (net-utils, sed, module-init-tools if I remember all) and mainly installed everything manually. Afterwards I recognized that this may be due to the fact, that the jigdo file and apt/sources.list refer to debian testing, which was something different last year.

Well, I managed to setup a basic Debian testing now, with usb networking and ssh.

But now I cannot find any titchy-* package. The Packages file from debian.neilandtheresa.co.uk is empty. Has anyone mirrors of these packages or even the source packages to rebuild them?

Some posts above contain already some questions regarding the repository not beeing accessible, is this still the same?

Thanks

Albrecht

Hi guys,
Sorry, because my post doesn't connect to this topic, but it is related with the Universal, so:
I am trying to run Android on the Universal. But if I compile the linux_2.6.25_Android for the universal (using the htcuniversal_defconf, which i get from the net) it could be compiled without any problem, but on the PDA Haret says jumping to kernel, and then nothing happens....
If i use the kernel from shiroikuma (zImage.128MB) and the normal rootfs, grabbed from the emulator i get a Segmentation fault when it tries to run the init script of the Android.
I think, the kernel which i use, is uncompatible with the Android.

Has someone any idea? Is there any reason, why my kernel doesn't boot, but shiroikuma's does?

Thanks, and sorry for my off-topic post

I am no expert on such things (as I am no computer scientist), but as I have some experience with running Linux on devices like the Universal (Universal and Motorola A780/E680) I would like to ask you whether you applied some patches for HTC Universal to your kernel, as it isn't (again, AFAIK) supported by stock mainline linux. Bad thing is that (as you will know) the latest kernel for HTC Universal on handhelds.org is still 2.6.21-hh20, which won't work with ANDROID, unless you apply the patches.
Here is a ML post about patching 2.6.21-hh20 for BlueAngel for Android (please keep in mind that the Android version running is an older beta, AFAIR 0.8).

Hope that I could help you a little bit,

(Please feel free to contact me when you have ANDROID running on your Universal, I am keen on that, too )

With Android:

USB connection with a Mac

How do you use USB networking when connection the HTC Universal to Mac OS X?

I.e. in Linux after plugging in the USB cable, you'd on the PC

CODE

ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.1
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -A FORWARD -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

However on a Mac, I don't have the usb0 device after connecting the Universal with a cable, I've looked through dmesg and the contents of /dev/ and there doesn't seem to be a usb device, though it's no hardware problem, my Mac is brand new and USB flashdisks work when plugged in.

So where's the device to ifconfig?

Thats great news - it makes me think of this: http://www.dvd.co.uk/Hw/Kingston-DataTrave...2GB/product.htm

Big fat daddy storage for my universal!

I've been given another black HTC Universal (O2 XDA exec).

It has a dent/kink in the touch-screen (not the LCD) and the display has been rotated too many times so that the display cable has snapped, but carphone warehouse say they can fix both these for £45.00

I'm short on cash to pay for a 128M upgrde, so I'm interested in doing a deal where somebody can have this in exchange for giving me the 128MB upgrade on my Universal.

Anyone interested - is it a fair deal? (I guess it is the same as swapping both these for one that has been upgraded?)

bah! I was a bit slow, CPW have stopped repairing the Universal just recenly, so I'm going to HTC for it. I'm trying to get them to do the RAM too - I might get lucky.

Is it game over then?

[ShiroiKuma]

As far as I can tell, the following should give some kind of result:

CODE

titchy-phone-daemon atcmd 'at+cusd=1,"*104*#",15'

I get "+CUSD: 5"; I don't know what that means. If you get something more useful, I can add this functionality to the daemon.

I get:

CODE

+CUSD: 0,"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX some hex text",15

So it seems, it's responding with the credit remaining and it's coding the answer, however doesn't ring any bells as far as deciphering is concerned...

It's the ASCII text response, hex encoded. To decipher you need to pass it through xxd -p -r, full instructions at http://sumoudou.org/index.php?cmd=%E7%9B%B...0in%20GNU/Linux
