[HD Mini Android Development] Adje Patatje:
First, thanx so far to all of those who made Androïd possible on our device!

I'm following this topic for quite a long time and tried different versions.

This week I tried to install he 29/04 version but it didn't work, error "not certified etc. etc."

Formatting the Kingston 4Gb card didn't work, still the same message on the device. I think the various installations where to much for my Mini.

After a hard reset the latest version is also working ok.

For me working with Androïd is far better then that WM6.5

One day it will work the way it's ment to be, I'll keep following this topic.

Specifications of my device:

HTC HD Mini Dutch version

Provider T-Mobile

SDHC card Kingston 4Gb

Android dev. version 29/04

Wifi working

Angry Birds (download Market) not working. Solution?

Grtz Ad
[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
With the latest version, installing Angry Birds (and other apps) from the market works!

You just have to disable the sd card before installing (cardsharing told us about that)
[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
What is this video fix about?
[HD Mini Android Development] iPlasm:
It is about that you can play videos in android now with this new cardsharing's initrd (ex: mp4 videos or something else) :D

And Thanks to CardSharing :)

Problem by android start home

Hello,

I have a problem. I have everything nicely from led such as the tutorial.

He starts haret perfectly and starts android incompletely.

The lock screen are shown, as soon as I unlock try he the home have left.

But that does not do he such as must I gets, as it happens, these wrongly:

the application Settings (process com.android.settings)

has stopped unexpectedly.

Pleas try again.

What have do do I here to?

sorry for my bad English
[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
Have you tried to boot without SIM card?
[HD Mini Android Development] mbdesign:
no my sim card sit, must that then? and can you then not yet use android with sim?
[HD Mini Android Development] mbdesign:
and do the update folder have be also placed at the first boot?
[HD Mini Android Development] silb:
No, you can use Android with a sim card. Just take it out - like codiak said - and then boot android again and look what happens. After that post your results again here.
[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
yes, the whole package
[HD Mini Android Development] dziarsky:
I've got few questions.

I hope you answer me.

1. MicroSD Card format is realy needed? It not enough when i just have like ~1,5Gb free space on it?

2. After i am install Android and turn off Mini next time whole proces will be starting from begining? Or i just use the same exe just to run system?

3. Uninstalling Android means delete all files made by installator?

4. When you fix microfone problem :). Except that system is useless.

Thank you :).
[HD Mini Android Development] shanari:
It's really really GREAT :)... I can download and install from market...but it can't be moved to SD card ( i allready mount SD card again)... So is this an error. Hope you can fix this soon :)...

sorry for my bad English
[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
1. Try it. May work, may not.

2. Its just an executable to launch android. After reboot you are back to wm.

3. There is no installer. Just delete al android related files and its gone.

4. Unknown. If its useless for you, dont use it ;)
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
1.only if you encounter installing issues

2.Android will start everytime you tap on HaRET.exe ,when you will restart phone the running OS will be WM

3.yes

4.when the world will end?:)) (answer me this question and i will answer on yours LOL )
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
hmmm...i think that sounds a bit strange

i dont know if this is an error but..how something which is installed on SD card can be moved to SD card?:confused: (Android itself is installed on SD card,so all installed apps and games goes there too)
[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
tzacapaca is right, its kinda useless!

but there is an option to move them in the application manager. not all apps supports that. try app2sd to move them but in the end, not all apps can be moved.

however, i dont think this is a big issue that needs to be fixed with priority.
[HD Mini Android Development] shanari:
oh.so games or apps downloaded from market will be installed on SD card? I thought it's installed on my HD mini like HTC wildfire :)...thank you :)

and another thing, when i run version 29.4, home buttons always light.battery is quickly empty...is someone like me
[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
thats normal as you can read in various other posts.
[HD Mini Android Development] brontolo999:
priority

hi developers...

I suppose you have a (maybe big) list of any known issues and have also in mind the priority for their fixes to be done..

May I suggest to share it and (why not?), take into account readers' opinion about what is needed with a greater "urgence".. hey, for sure nothing binding for you !

Bye and still thanks for great job and your commitment on it

installation does not work

Hi guys,

I've been trying an installation of Android but without success..

Here below what I did:

- bught a new SD: Kingston SDHC 8Gb Class 4

- my old SD (SanDisk SDHC 8Gb Class 2) did not work as well

- formatted the SD by SDFormatter in FULL(Erase) mode

- formatted again the SD in the PC: quick format in FAT32

- copied all files from 29.04.2011 to SD

- removed SIM Card

- run HARET_PHOTON7227.exe on HD mini

- pop up "Haret: booting Linux..." successfully appears

and nothing more happens even after 30 minutes or so.

What I got is a "data" file of about 100Mb (a little more) and an "ext2" file of exactly 300Mb.

What I can do?

Thanks in advance
[HD Mini Android Development] termignoni:
^^

same as above..

however, i got my HD Mini to boot into Android several hours later, i wasn't sure how long as i fell asleep waiting as it was that long of a time..

the only problem i found out while i was trying it out for a while is that that my device won't charge when it is on Android.. it eventually died out so i had to charge it first.. then wait several hours for it to boot into Android, with only several percent battery left.. played around for several minutes, then the cycle goes around again...

sigh..
[HD Mini Android Development] brontolo999:
Do you mean any start of Android takes hours? If I understand it right by reading all the thread, only the first installation takes so long. Next starts should be faster.

Am I wrong?
[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
This all depends on your SD card. I use a kingston 8GB and android need about a minute to boot. First start it took about 3 minutes.
[HD Mini Android Development] brontolo999:
Hi codiak,

that's what I'm doing but it does not work (even after 30 minutes or so). which class is your SD?

Here below what I did:

bught a new SD: Kingston SDHC 8Gb Class 4 (my old SD SanDisk SDHC 8Gb Class 2 did not work as well)

formatted the SD by SDFormatter in FULL(Erase) mode

formatted again the SD in the PC: quick format in FAT32

copied all files from 29.04.2011 to SD

removed SIM Card

run HARET_PHOTON7227.exe on HD mini

pop up "Haret: booting Linux..." successfully appears

What I got is a "data" file of about 100Mb.

any idea?
[HD Mini Android Development] termignoni:
yes, that is what i understand too.. as it was the same with my HD2 on Android, only the first boot takes a longer time, but not the subsequent ones..

however it's not the same with my HD Mini... i've tried with 3 different cards, followed the guide to the exact, with the same result.. it does boot into Android though.. but it just won't charge.. from the several hours of booting up, it just drains the battery from full to just less than 10%..

update: now trying with another 4GB class 4 card.. the previous try did not even boot for almost 5 hours, had to remove the battery.. running on stock ROM..

update 2 : finally, everything is well.. this last card made it all.. a Sandisk 4GB Class 4.. 1st boot less than 3 minutes, subsequent boot less than 1 minute.. just waiting for the mic to work to make it perfect.. :)
[HD Mini Android Development] brontolo999:
Update:

I tried 26.04.2011.rar archive with original initrd file and the installation fails as described above.

I tried 26.04.2011.rar archive with initrd file with the video fix (released on page 26) and the installation fails again.

I tried Cotulla archive (old Android 2.2 link on the first post) and installation is now working with this delay:

- first boot: about 10-15 minutes

- next boots: 1 minute or so

Any idea about 26.04.2011 release?
[HD Mini Android Development] brontolo999:
Hi cardsharing,

thanks for your fast reply...

what do you refer to when you say "this version"? I suppose you mean the 29.04.2011 version, is it right?

If so, it should not work as well: I'm pretty sure since I tried the installation of 29.04.2011 version on a new SD card, so no previous versions were installed there.

Anyway, in the meanwhile, I tried the following and it works properly (even if it seems the opposite of what you just said :confused:):

format SD card (SDFormatter tool + one more formatting by PC Windows explorer)

copy Cotulla version

first boot of Cotulla (about 10-15 minutes)

second boot of Cotulla (about 1 minute)

copy 29.04.2011 on SD thus to replace Cotulla's files

first boot of 29.04.2011 (5-10 minutes)

second boot of 29.04.2011 (about 1 minute)

as said anything is working fine.

It seems that:

installation of 29.04.2011 on a just formatted SD does not work

installation of 29.04.2011 on a previous installation of Cotulla works well

Hope that helps you all
[HD Mini Android Development] brontolo999:
mmhh, I should have all required space... anyway ok, I'm providing you any info you need:

- SD: Kingston 8GB SDHC Class 4

- data.ext2 size: 300Mb (307.200KB)

- used space: 1,37GB

- free space: 6,02GB

note I started WinMo again so my SD now contains some Windows folder (inbox, DCIM for camera, ...) even if they are empty.

here you are a picture of my SD:

the video works, but in my mini is the videocamera upside down, just the same with the photocamera

Hi, ive 29/04 and now is new bug with earphone... when im use sound is off and mic goes... in old version mic is off and sound is on... know right way to work with earphone?
[HD Mini Android Development] djfastest:
at boot time is running command line and all further does not run as be?
[HD Mini Android Development] caino74:
nice work cardsharing! (but earphones bugs :/ ).. a way to move app on SD for more memory?

camera not fix (make a picture and on the review is still on image!!) ... news about gsensor?

tks a lot at all stuff!
[HD Mini Android Development] -kOS-:
hmmmm The earphone never worked for me.....
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
guys, can you be more specific about the earphone bug:

what works, what doesnt works, how to reproduce?

how do you test gsensor?

do you have an application for that?

when i calibrate, it is working fine for me ;)
[HD Mini Android Development] Gipsy_Mickey:
hi -r0bin-, to check if g-sensor works u can use any game using it, or look if broweser rotates page, but be carefull not all pages rotate, just many of thm.
[HD Mini Android Development] -kOS-:
Simply -rObin- I just connect my headphones to the mini in android, it shows the headphone icon in the top status bar, but i can hear any sound comming from them, - of course i have set the volume to max in WM and Android-. If you desconnect them, you can listen perfectly the sound from the HD mini speaker.
[HD Mini Android Development] superzuan:
evrything fine thanks
[HD Mini Android Development] brontolo999:
Hi cardsharing, one question about the second option just to be sure of everithing before proceeding: if I delete the old update folder and replace it by the new one in your link above, I would miss all fix in the old update folder, wouldn't I?

Or does the new update folder contain any required fix, either old and new ones? I'm not sure about that since the old update folder contains some files not included in the new update folder. Should I merge both update folders and in case of same files, take the new release?

Waiting for your feedback about.

Thanks

Installation from apk

Hi all,

it seems there was no more replies to the installation from apk post: I'm searching inside the thread but unsucessfully :(

So the question is: is there a way to install apk from sd card (with the last 29.04.2011 release+yesterday patch) ?

I'm really interested about that since my operator (H3G Italy) charges me lots of money if I connect via 2G.

Thanks in advance
[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
Sure. Just copy the apk file to sd card and open it (with astro explorer for example)
[HD Mini Android Development] brontolo999:
wow codiak... your answer has been faster than my screen refresh ;) thanks!

it's exactly what I'm doing....

Astro open application manager and I click on Angry_Birds.1.3.5.apk file.

Application manager asks me to grant the access to the network for the application being installed.

I ckick on "Install" but got the message "Application not installed"

any idea?

is something related to the network usage which does not work in 3G? the access to network I'm being asked for appears in red font and with an esclamation mark...:rolleyes:
[HD Mini Android Development] GallardoLP_560:
Battery doesnt seem to charge from android!
[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
Do you use the latest initrd? There was a problem with installing angry birds but its fixed now.

I dont know if internet access is nessary for installation. Try it with a wifi connection!
[HD Mini Android Development] brontolo999:
Hi cardsharing,

I have not tried on my SD since I do not want to start all the process again :p but I tried on another SD 8GB Class 4 and everithing is fine....

Maybe something went wrong during installation for some reason or your last update on yesterday fixes the problem... who knows?!

anyway I would say the direct installation of 26.04.2011+yesterday patch works properly and if it doesn't for some users, they may try, as last chance, the process I suggested ;)

Thanks for you support
[HD Mini Android Development] brontolo999:
Yes I'm using the last initrd that cardsharing released yesterday with mic fix.

I'll try with wifi even if I no way to find a wifi network right now..

anyway thanks...
[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
I have the latest files and use market over wifi. Angry Birds installation works flawless (of couse you have to deactivate the SD card in android settings before installation, as cardsharing wrote!)
[HD Mini Android Development] silb:
Go to settings -> unmount sd card -> install angry birds -> mount sd card -> have fun

;)
[HD Mini Android Development] fatslim:
One little thing i would like to add about the mic fix. Seems that when i talk i cant turn the callres volume down, and cus of that the the one whom im talking to hears his own voice to whitch. is this my own fault or does everyone have it ?
[HD Mini Android Development] shanari:
Don't know how to say how much I appreciate what you guys are doing...

THANK YOU :)...

hope you understand what i say...my bed English.sorry...
[HD Mini Android Development] brontolo999:
if I unmount sd card I won't be able to start angry birds apk file store into the sd card :confused:

maybe you mean the installation via Market?
[HD Mini Android Development] pietje63:
Yes, his description works for installation via Market.

Probably it is also possible to first copy the file from the SD to the 'internal Android memory' (which is on the SD) via Astro, but I'm not sure whether that will work.
[HD Mini Android Development] brontolo999:
...maybe I'll have to wait for 3G data connection to work properly :cool:

and I hope that will be the next target for developers :)
[HD Mini Android Development] silb:
why dont you try it via wifi?

Yes, r0bin and schlund mentoined that they work on GRPS(3G).

[HD Mini Android Development] Gipsy_Mickey:
I'm not pretty sure, but it looks like in kernel version 0.4 battery warming more, and android doesn't work as fast as in 29.04.

Also I have one question: Do funccion battery thermometer? cause for me Battery Wathcher always shows that it is 50 C.

And does anybody know what temperature is normal for our bettary, thx.
[HD Mini Android Development] Vannystick:
Thanks!

I've been following this thread for a while. Installed the 290401 kernal and yesterdays update without any problems and i must say i'm impressed with how far HD Mini Android has come since Cortulla's core.

I've had no problems with WiFi (the signal seems stronger than in WiMo), and no issues downloading and installing apps from the Market.

I've just been out to the car and paired the phone to it with Bluetooth, without any obvious problems, i can even access music files from the SD card. Tried a call from the car and it was successful, though only to my own answerphone so i didn't actually speak.

I downloaded 'Bubble' (a simple spirit level) from the Market however the Gsensor doesn't seem to work in any application. I haven't tried normal calibration or testing screen rotation so i'll try that later.

Thank you for the effort, i'm so glad i don't have to deal with the shame of Windows any more, and better still, i have angry birds!!! Not feeling at all smug :D

I tested 04.05 kernel with Quadrant and it shows that productivity falled a lot comparing with 29.04 kernel. It's so sad. -)

29.04 - 831 points (just like htc gratia)

04.05 - 391 points

somebody plz repeat this test and correspond results. I hope that's only mine problem, thx.
[HD Mini Android Development] GallardoLP_560:
I downloaded the 29.4.2011 file and did exactly what you sayed! Deleted update folder and replaced with new one (with microphone fix)!

The thing is that my microphone still does not work. I mean at all!!! Did I do something wrong? Or did I miss something?

Also I can not choose a song for ring tone! Is it that I do not know Android, or does it need fix too?

Great job with battery and whole Android thing by the way.

PS: Batery doesn't seem to charge from android!

installation problems

Recently I tried to install android (29.04.2011) and encountered the same problem a lot of users complained of earlier, that is system freezes after launching HARET_PHOTON7227. I've tried all troubleshooting options suggested here but to no avail. After some research, trials and errors, I came to a conclusion (with all due respect for people writing tutorials) that erasing/re-erasing and formatting SD card as well as installing earlier version and overwriting with newer does not help at all. The problem here seems to be with the card itself, it's either type of the card (SD vs. SDHC), capacity or speed.

IMO SDHC class (6) 4+Gb card is the best option.
