@tzacapaca i have originally posted the link on custom bootloader thread and i just thought it was meant to be for the other purpose. and i just moved the thread from there and found this thread would be suitable. May i post the link over here.

@ georgelaros: this is not a new rom its just a compilation of many fixes.
[HD Mini Android Development] Ahmad.elhajjar:
Sorry, but i want to know what is fixed in this new kernel?
[HD Mini Android Development] Ahmad.elhajjar:
Sorry, but i want to know what is fixed in this new kernel?

I want to ask if there is anything updated or fixed for the last kernel done by cardsharing and uploaded the last week, or it is the same???
[HD Mini Android Development] bruce2728:
The screen alligns properly and video working in youtube, thats all i noticed had changed
[HD Mini Android Development] utsavkoju:
This zip includes cardsharing release till 14 of may. i don't know what do you mean by till last week, but this package got the newer zimage and haret. Here all those buggy text during boot are being removed, screen is aligned you don't need to wait for its alignment and lastly the battery does charges but cardsharing is warning not to charge the our hd mini on android as battery is not totally fixed yet.
[HD Mini Android Development] Ahmad.elhajjar:
Thank you very much for your answer.

Hope that we can fix the G-sensor soon.

I see that the photon without G-sensor is like the body without soul.

good luck guys, and everyday am following the progress.

take care
[HD Mini Android Development] caino74:
hi all, i've replaced new rom 15.5.11 on this tread ...but is still loading (reformatted and hard resetting)
[HD Mini Android Development] utsavkoju:
works are on progress at the moment but for developers 3G/DATA are of high priority and would be followed by battery charging as lots of people wished for that. we know G-sensor is so important hope it would be fixed soon.

these cases are seen in most of the cases. have you waited for the enough time like 30-40 mins. or if that is not the case this version mightnot just be compatible to your sd card. lots of sd card are not supported while running android in photon. try switching to another card might that help you.
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
30-40 mins is bs lol,it doesn't need to take more than 10 mins
[HD Mini Android Development] multicoms:
Hi All Expert, hope your may able to help me on this problem.

After i try use the latest update and overwrite the existing Haret.exe, i try for the first time it able to run, but i press the power button its goes off and restart to WM.

i try the second time to run the Haret.exe but it come to this error:

The file "haret" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its component cannot be found. If the problem persist, try reinstalling or restoring this file.

I did re-copy the file from my desktop but no luck. any idea?
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
Hard reset.
[HD Mini Android Development] multicoms:
Hi Thanks for the advice, it able to run again now for this Haret.exe but no luck for me to run.

When boot up andriod the main screen hang, you cant even unlock it, the only way is press the power button to reset, the volume up down is not function.

Hope someone able to fixed this!
[HD Mini Android Development] superzuan:
i ask it to cardsharing he said

Problem you have last time with haret is:

- your sdcard folder is renamed to sdcard2

How to fix haret problem if you have problem:

- simply delete folder sdcard2

- remove the sd card and insert it again after 15 seconds

- try haret
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
replace the SD card,and before first Android run remove the sim card!

haret.exe

Running haret.exe (15.5.11) locks up. Fixed by simply doing a quick format of the SD card (on PC)
[HD Mini Android Development] bruce2728:
there is a new build dated 18th on the google code page
[HD Mini Android Development] audio84:
This is quite bizzare. I've bought myself a Sandisk 4GB MicroSDHC card (class 4) and can't really get anywhere with this. There are previous posts showing that this exact card works. I've formatted the card using formatting software (Full Overwrite), then re-formatted it using the windows format tool (FAT32), copied the Android files over, ran the program but no matter what version of Android I try it always ends up freezing on "Booting Linux". I've waited for an hour, still nothing. I've installed an old Android 2.1 version to see if that worked but still nothing.

What am I missing?! I've done every suggestion I can find in this thread, I've even hard reset the device and gone through it all again but still nothing. Any ideas? :(
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
i guess fake card
[HD Mini Android Development] audio84:
I've tried two Sandisk cards, a 2GB and a 4GB and both have the same problem.. I doubt it's a fake card.
[HD Mini Android Development] 15MA1L:
tzacapaca please add something like this in your tutorial:

DO NOT USE "S C A N D I S K" (brand)

because: it seems to have some bugs when it comes to Android

Of course it is "K I N G S T O N" OK

and other "brand" can be good (if not fake), or perhaps that you write your experience with the brand as working or not working or class (Class = the speed of something)-seem to have class 4 and 2 "OK"

Q: if someone tried C10? C6?
[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
What radio version do you have?
[HD Mini Android Development] 15131331231:
Yeah,sandisk card can boot android,but it would cost much more time.the first time I boot android,when it boot finished,4 hours elapsed!
[HD Mini Android Development] 15MA1L:
4 hours. good to know, for those who have no choice and simply have some reason to use ScanDisk

example for those who are afraid to steal a card from the mobile phone of his girlfriend.
[HD Mini Android Development] theerayut:
Hellow

The battary it work but can not charge :confused:

Sorry english poor.
[HD Mini Android Development] silb:
Well i use a 4gb sandisk card and it works perfect.
[HD Mini Android Development] 15MA1L:
I've tried 3 different scandisc and none boot android in 10 - 20 min.

I now use the "pqi" 2 GB C2 first boot took about 5 minutes.
[HD Mini Android Development] ericsonicsson:
Mine Transcend 8GB is class 6, android runs well every time I've updated the build.
[HD Mini Android Development] Smudoooo:
i have also a sandisk card and it works perfect for me, android boots fast and it's run fast
[HD Mini Android Development] scan6:
i use Transcend 8GB and it runs very well too

i love android! kick winmo away B-)
[HD Mini Android Development] shaniemot:
Hi all any latest updates ?
[HD Mini Android Development] DominicTei:
I bought a new HTC HD MINI recently..

I had followed all the steps given correctly...

Sandisk Micro SD used..

All files copied and run on the root of micro SD card..

Booting ....

FREEZEE.....
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
how long time did u wait?
[HD Mini Android Development] DominicTei:
About 45 minutes -1 Hour

-------------------

Recent Update:

Boot on 12.47 pm

Current Time: 1.30 pm

2 GB SANDISK MICRO SD USED

NEW HTC HD MINI T5555 USED (ABOUT A WEEK)

Screen status:

Bottom of the screen got a bar similar as top

"HaRET Versio.."

I touched the screen and nothing happened,just froze...as always...I downloaded lastest android

18 May 2011 I wondered...:o
[HD Mini Android Development] DominicTei:
Great..My Phone's battery was drained to 0% now when boot the android...
[HD Mini Android Development] HALOHA:
I think the problem is your sd card.

I also try many sd card.Only one card can work.

I have two hd mini.I try all step on both phone.

---------------------------------------------------------

1.Format with SDFormatter then format with pc....no work.

2.Remove sim card then boot...no work.

3.Connect usb cable then boot...no work.

---------------------------------------------------------

The situation is the same.

RUN boot and freeze.Data file only can be created about 29MB~45MB.

But use right SD card.Just cast about five minute.

DATA file (500 MB)and Swap file(1XX MB) are already and works very well.
[HD Mini Android Development] mooncmn:
right. we have experienced the tf card. only sandisk can't be used,because the memory module is different form others. i suggest that you can use the Kinston or Samsung's,it will be OK.
[HD Mini Android Development] bruce2728:
my 16gb sandisk works fine, boots every time and that is without formatting it. yours is probably a fake if it doesn't work
[HD Mini Android Development] HALOHA:
FAKE?I don't think so.

I have two sandisk 2G micro sd.(come with my two HD mini's box)

They all can't work android.

I don't think HTC send fake sd card with their phone.
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
Sandisk cards works for others,so you can't blame the card company..so its either fake or not properly formatted.
[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
There are different types of sandisk (and maybe other vendors too) cards, even if they look exactly the same and have the same specs (class and size).

Only way to determinate them is to look at the model- or serialnumber.
[HD Mini Android Development] audio84:
It looks like that Sandisk cards are just poorly made. Yeah they can function with basic tasks and store data, but when it comes to heavy usage such as this, they fail. I'm guessing with what people have wrote that you could try two different types of the same Sandisk card, and one might not work. I think it's just down to poor manufacturing of the cards.

Looks like the only answer is to do as you guys have said. Don't use Sandisk :(

Isn't there any way you could add it to the first post?
[HD Mini Android Development] bruce2728:
I agree with tzacapaca, me and two friends have sandisk card, all 3 cards are different model numbers, clases and sizes and they all work fine.

I've read people having trouble with other brands too.

Maybe the people having trouble should start a new thread and list model numbers of non working cards.

Just a suggestion as this thread is getting messy and repeatetive
[HD Mini Android Development] DominicTei:
LOL,exactly,how could a HTC brand shop given us a piece of fake micro sd???! :D
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
As i said Sandisk cards works for others,so answer is no.
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
I found in the sealed box a 2 GB Nokia card...how can you explain that?lol

I think the box was opened careful and replaced the Sandisk card with Nokia one..same could happen with some guys which are using the Sandisk card which was in box..
[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
Have a look here

There are even different accesstimes within the same brand and model.

So I think your conclusion is not very reliable :)
[HD Mini Android Development] pietje63:
I'm not sure whether all measurements are done with the same hardware setup, but agree that there are differences between SD cards.

Maybe we should take it the other way around: are there other brands with problems?
[HD Mini Android Development] audio84:
Hmm, I suppose so. I'll try running Android again to see if I get anything out of it :(
[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
For the HD2 its also importend what radio version do you have. Otherwise it wont jump into kernel mode.

Might have an effect on the HD Mini too?
[HD Mini Android Development] audio84:
I was just thinking something along these lines.. would it matter which ROM we have installed on the HD Mini? Android works for some people and not for others, even if they have the same card. Could be a ROM issue? I have a MaryOne custom ROM installed on my Mini and it doesn't work, so it could well have something to do with it.

On that note though, I'm just guessing. I don't know the ins and outs of it at all :(
[HD Mini Android Development] superzuan:
i had the same problem. Then i just used a HARD reset on my phone, and then open the HARET. I used a 4 gb KINGSTON, SANDISK not working on my phone.
[HD Mini Android Development] Daphoz:
hi, i got a question and I hope it´s not to silly.

since a few days I got the SOD (sleep of death) issue with my HD mini, since I couldn´t fix it I tested your android (I know it´s under development). Unfortunately I got SOD´s in android too. I thought it´s a windows mobile issue, is it because I boot android from win?

daphoz
[HD Mini Android Development] silb:
Try Volume up + Power on. Its a known issue and not fixed yet in the android port for photon(hd mini)
[HD Mini Android Development] ripstar:
Problem with sim-network?!?

I have a problem with the network. I have no connectivity to my sim-network.

I have a O2 (Germany) simcard!

Why it doesnt work? it is normal?

i know my english is very bad.... i hope you guys understand my problems!!!
[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
Calls should work, data not.

[German] Telefonate sollten funktionieren, Datenverbindung nicht [/German]
[HD Mini Android Development] pwel:
;)

It has definitely something to do with the card: for quite some people, sandisk does not work but others too. In my case, my ADATA 8Gb class 4 never had any problem (yes, I admit once, but then it was too full with data) but my sandisk 2gb (no class data on it) never worked, both with the same WM ROM.
[HD Mini Android Development] bruce2728:
reinstall android and this time take your sim out for first boot, then power off and replace sim card and your calls should work
[HD Mini Android Development] ripstar:
Thx for u help! Now its work!

But my mobile Internet does not work. WHY??
[HD Mini Android Development] bruce2728:
That is a known bug that is being worked on by the devs.

We have to use wifi for now
[HD Mini Android Development] froid24:
problems

Hi guys,

I installed the Android ROM and tested it for a while, then i deleted it. ever since, i started having some problems with the phone that i did not have before. I will describe them, and hope you can tell me if this is just a coincidence...

I am using it in WinMo now. It happened only once that i got a black screen with a small red word right in the middle of it, saying "Error". I reset the phone, and it didn't happen again.

But now a more annoying thing happens: i lock the phone using the power button, and i cannot wake it up again, until i remove the battery and restart. I know there were some issues with the Android ROM that waking it up required the volume up + power to be pressed, but in WinMo ?! Could it have something to do with it ?

Hope you can give me some advice... Thanks !

Cheers !
[HD Mini Android Development] PeGie:
I also have a problem with waking up the screen in WinMo. I don't know how to resolve this. I've made a hard reset of device with no result.
[HD Mini Android Development] bruce2728:
as far as i know there is no solution, do a search for SOD 'sleep of death'

ps. this is an Android thread;)
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
Hey

Your problem might be because of Android settings,if you played around with them(I guess you did lol) let me know(if you remember) what you changed and maybe i can help.

I'll give you an example: if you turn off my location in Android GPS settings that will affect WinMo GPS also and you won't be able to use it.

I also suggest you "install" Android back and to see if your phone still doesn't wake up in WinMo.

let me know if it works or no

Good luck/Noroc;)
[HD Mini Android Development] froid24:
i know of that bug with the gps, and i tried not to modify core things in Android... As far as i remember, i didn't do anything that would lead to this problem...

is there an update for the install ROM for Android ? Or i have to take the 29.04 and patch it for the calls to work etc ?

Thanks/Multumesc :)
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
here is the newest build http://code.google.com/p/photon-android/downloads/list

however not any new features has been added,except that Android takes 50 MB less space now :)

my other guess is that it can be related to your WinMo ROM version

what version u have?

is it official or custom?

I removed my SD card and tested winmo after and i didnt have waking up issues..so if you want i can give u my custom ROM;)
[HD Mini Android Development] froid24:
i have the original ROM that came with it when i bought it from Vodafone... if i install the custom ROM, will it keep things like the phonebook and all that, or i should sync it with the pc first ? Please give me the link, i'll give it a try, who knows, maybe it solves the problem.

That Android build has the phone call patch in it (for fixing the problem that the other person could not hear me speak) ?

thanks.
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
1.if your phone is locked on Vodafone network you cant install custom ROM's

2.yes
[HD Mini Android Development] htcminiandroid:
Hey,

same problem with SOD in WinMo after trying Android. No problems before.

I got SanDisk 8GB, works perfectly for me.

But now my problem:

Has anyone worked out how to start Haret in WinMo with Keypad Lights off? They are always slightly lightening and bring my battery down in about a day. Would be pleased if someone had a workaround for this. Perhaps also the devs get it working...

Can't wait for using Android in everyday business ;-)
[HD Mini Android Development] superzuan:
You should only start if the keyboard lights are off. you'll see they have gone out in Haret and probably no additional power draw
[HD Mini Android Development] htcminiandroid:
Hi and thanks for your reply.

My backlights only turn off if the device is turned off by pressing the power button or after about 30 seconds. If i press the power button afterwards, the lights go on again. No chance to start Haret with the lights off!?!
[HD Mini Android Development] garmin2:
You must put a light in front the device, then the buttons would be off, if this don't happen then you have problem with the light sensor. Good luck.
[HD Mini Android Development] superzuan:
sorry i used google translate

what I do. I have explorer as a shortcut so I made ​​the bottom buttons do not have to use so I do not activate the Keylight. I think you can be somewhere in the settings in windows mobile Keylight manage. Indeed, what else is up here, keep your phone in a lamp so they can go out and start over Haret. Failing that is indeed what your light sensor.
[HD Mini Android Development] boxerke16:
Hi all,

First of all thanks to the developers on making android almost possible on HTC HD Mini. I might not have to buy a newone afterall then ;)

Second i want to tell i tried the tutorial and tested out the android, but because not all functions were working (Alarm not getting set, Clock Settings resetting, GPS, and some other basic functions) cause its still in development i shut it down again to start my windows mobile again.

Now i'm experiencing enormous problems with my windows mobile device. It responds very slowly, like the memory is full. It freezes time after time and the device isn't workable anymore. It takes me almost 1 minute now to go to a contact and phone him if the device will respond to the actions i tapped on screen.

Anyone experienced this problem after using the android? My Windows Mobile ROMs i used were the officials from HTC website itself.
[HD Mini Android Development] ripstar:
thanks the developers for making android on HTC HD Mini!

But it has still bugs in important matters.

E.g. in mobile internet / data service (it is important to me)

The Clock and Battarie also makes for my problems.

The image from the camera is wrong and GPS also transmits not.

I hope you can solve the problems soon.

I'll keep my fingers crossed :)

I have the version dated 05/18/2011

Pb GPS après installation Android

Bonjour à tous.

Super travail pour ce travail.

Je viens d'essayer l'application. Après etre revenu sur Sense, mon GPS ne fonctionne plus. En fait il est repéré,en com 4 mais impossible de trouver des satellite.

J'ai tout fait.

HARD RESET, mise à jour, riuen n'y fait.... Je n'avais pas touché aux réglages GPS...

Y a t-il un lien. J'ai cru voir que je n'étais pas le seul sur ce forum...

Hi all,

Is anyone having problems synchronising the Android with HTC-Sync?
[HD Mini Android Development] silb:
@zucar: doesn't work with the current state. Needs to be fixed, but the priority level is not as high as this from 3G / battery charging / gps etc.

For the current developement state including a list of bugs go to the google page.

I can not understand something. Everytime a new build is released, something get fixed and something else does not work. Like waking up phone with vol + and power botton. Earliest releases did not have such problems. Cant developers see the files as they were back then and fix the problems that once did not exist?[/QUOTE]

A: not happy with what developers are doing so far?DO IT YOURSELF OR HIRE ONE!!!or use f**** Windows Mobile!

[HD Mini Android Development] cardsharing:
WARNING:

do not try discharging battery to 0% because your battery capacity will have -150 mA down in the future (maybe total 90% real cappacity)!!!

DO NOT TRY CHARGING

DO NOT USE ADB FOR BIG TIME - ONLY 1-2 MINUTE

Im totaly disabled battery code in new kernel. For battery i think we need to find msm7227 vregs for pm7540 and integrate to our code instead of using dex call
[HD Mini Android Development] pietje63:
Hmm, I got the feeling I may have dammaged my battery using android. I used Android a few times until the battery was fully empty, and it looks like the battery is now faster empty under windows.. The above post may explain this.
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
the li-ion battery lose capacity over the time, this is normal behavior

and having the feeling that the battry drains faster than before might be just psychologic ;-)

but this being said, that was one of my warnings:

dont use your phone below than 10percents in android until we provid better battery support. this is the only way you can damage it (worst case it can block your battery to 0, so you are lucky)

dont try to charge it either
[HD Mini Android Development] cardsharing:
Its try about our android battery driver. Before last 1,5 months my batery after full charging has 4200 mA and after some time, after testing our batt code, my battery have 4050 mA after full charge! I think battery now have -10% of capacity (10% broken):( Now im disabled batt code becouse i testing some stufs with adb (Gingerbread coming "maybe":))
[HD Mini Android Development] scan6:
do i really have to remove my sim card when first boot??

cuz i didnt remove and it still run very well
[HD Mini Android Development] iPlasm:
This is because to don't show the errors in Android, that is why you have to remove SIM Card first time. then if you done the Android processes you can simple insert your SIM to your Phone,.
