No audio on Android 1.5 dream build?

[deg]

I've just built from the Android-1.5 source tree for my ADP1.

Audio does not seem to be working. Music, gallery videos, and even the
phone ringtone are all silent.
This did work fine in builds I've done in the past from earlier
sources, as well as in the HTC 1.5 images.

Is this a known problem? Any workarounds? Or, have I just missed a
step somewhere?

Thanks,
David

I had to pull /system/lib/libhtc_acoustic.so from the HTC image and push it to the newly built device.

Hi,

I have detect more differences on /system/libs and /system/etc between
the HTC official android 1.5 firmware, and the firmware generated
using the android-1.5 open source branch.

The following system libraries and files do on the HTC official one
but do not appear when flashing the open source generated firmware.

/system/lib/libhtc_acoustic.so
/system/lib/libmm-adspsvc.so
/system/lib/libopencorehw.so
/system/lib/libOmxMpeg4Dec.so
/system/lib/libOmxH264Dec.so
/system/lib/libOmxVidEnc.so
/system/lib/libspeech.so
/system/lib/libjni_pinyinime.so
/system/lib/libpvasfreg.so
/system/lib/libpvasf.so
/system/lib/hw/lights.goldfish.so
/system/lib/hw/sensors.trout.so
/system/etc/contributors.css
/system/etc/AudioPreProcess.csv
/system/etc/contributors.html

By the way, the camcorder is not working on my ADP1 with the open
source android 1.5 firmware. Perhaps it has something to do with the
missing libraries. Do you have also this problem?

It seems like the htc files that have to be pushed using
extract_files.sh do not extract all the needed libraries for version
1.5. Maybe the htc vendor files should be update to include all
necessary libs.

Thanks, worked like a charm.

I'll submit the obvious patch to the vendor/dream/htc project. (Or,
have you done so already?)

Testing camcorder now...

I'm also having a problem: The camera app works in still mode and
successfully switches to video mode, but does not record . The
application then reports that the camcorder is not responding. Is this
what you are seeing too?

I'm running with libhtc_acoustic.so, but I've not tried adding the
other files that you (Cristina) found missing. Have you tried adding
them yet? Some of the filenames sure sound video-related.

David

I have tried to push all the missing lib files into system, and now
the camcorder works ok.

However I have detected new problems:
1. Incoming calls does not work. When I try to call to the phone it
launch an com.android.phone error.
2. Home button does not work either

So there must be something else that is not included

Have you tested these functionalities? Do they work for you?

Thanks,
Cristina

I've not seen your problem with incoming calls. I've seen incoming
calls work at least once with this build.
However, I have had problems, both on this build and earlier, with
incoming calls being diverted to network voicemail, because the phone
was not yet properly provisioned.

(Something does appear to be wrong with provisioning in this build.
I've been unable to get SdkSetup to work. It looks like the
instructions in the first message (by JBQ) in
http://groups.google.com/group/android-platform/browse_thread/thread/798f406d0a17cb1e
are no longer correct.
But, that's a discussion for a different thread... I'll post what I've
seen ASAP, but it's not related to the audio issue.)

Re the home button... I had not noticed; I guess I tend to use the
back button. But, I see it's not working for me either. I'm not sure
if this is a real bug here, or because of some earlier hacking I did
to try to get SdkSetup to work. (SdkSetup is also a homescreen app).
I suggest you post this question to a different thread too, so the
subjects gets noticed by folks who understand this better.

Hi David,

I have re-flashed the firmware, and now when I receive an incoming
call, it get diverted to the network voicemail.
¿How did you solved that problem in this build and earlier?

Thanks again for your answers!

In previous versions, the problem was that the phone needed to be
provisioned. You needed to include the SdkSetup app in the build.
Instructions were at http://andblogs.net/2009/01/cupcake-on-g1adp1/ or
at the start of the thread I quoted above.

This did not work for me in 1.5, yet. I've made the changes, but have
not succeeded in getting SdkSetup to launch. But, strangely, I did
succeed in getting an incoming call one time.

I'll try to look into this further, but I'm running off for the
weekend. If you have time, and if the old instructions don't work for
you, can you post a question about this today?

David

[Cristina]

Hi David,

I have checked the instructions on the thread you passed me above, and
it works.
I have added the line
LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS := eng development
to development/apps/SdkSetup/Android.mk.

Then I have regenerated the firmware and now both the incoming calls
and the home button works.
Another way to provision the phone without using SdkSetup is to use
the following command to update the provision property in the
database:

adb shell sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/
settings.db "INSERT INTO secure (name, value) VALUES
('device_provisioned','1');"

However I prefer the first option, as it is integrated with the
source.

Thanks a lot for your help!
Cristina

Yes, thanks. Works for me too.

(I had faked myself out previously. I thought that SdkSetup was
supposed to bring up the provisioning screens, like on the HTC builds,
rather than just quietly set the flag. Now, I looked at the source,
and all makes sense).

And, thanks for the sqlite tip too. I agree with you; I prefer the
SdkSetup technique. But, good to have this in my bag of tricks too.

As for the issue with incoming calls, you need to set the phone to
"provisioned".
follow the information at the bottom of this thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-platform/browse_thread/thread/88f1de1bcb6ccd94
to set "device_provisioned" in the secure settings table.
