Android Rom please . Wm6.x is Dead

now is time for android development

Can´t wait for a full Android rom

if some one interested to develope a full Android rom i will donate ...

thanks
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Blackstone can't use .35 kernels.

Upgrade the rootfs please, not the kernel. I need to make a new bundle, sorry.
[Touch HD Android Development] jeanfrederic:
OK, thx for your reply. Will forget about kernel, About rootfs, it is already upgraded.

But any idea why I can't use the front buttons?

Thx
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Assuming you followed the steps correctly, no.

You're on the newest rootfs, and it's named rootfs.img. There's no old rootfs' on your card. You also have physkeyboard=blac in your startup.txt.

If those are true, the front buttons should work just fine. Paste your startup.txt if you can't figure it out... I honestly don't know why this is so difficult to understand, but I realize it's a simple thing to update on my end. Just been ridiculously busy at work lately.
[Touch HD Android Development] jeanfrederic:
I know Android on Blackstone from the beginning, so I guess I know how to update the rootfs, but since the beginning (android 1.6) it runs randomly on my Blackstone. I tried your build on 3 differents µSD (2 no-class, 1 class 4) with no luck, even stock 7.1 doesn't works at it should. It is just...boring. This blackstone is gonna learn to fly, i'm pretty sure of !
[Touch HD Android Development] kevinmys:
I had the same behaviour on my blackstone, impossible to use the home button and I have followed the guidance... I have edited the startup file, added the physkeyboard=blac and restarted android and now it works

if it can help here is the content of my startup

set ramsize 0x10000000

set ramaddr 0x10000000

set mtype 2030

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

set cmdline "lcd.density=240 physkeyboard=blac msmvkeyb_toggle=off msm_blackstone_pad.vibrate=1 gsensor_axis=-2,-1,3 pm.sleep_mode=1"

boot

and now it works fine, I can at last use this rom :)

hope that helps

Youpee
[Touch HD Android Development] jeanfrederic:
Except the sentence "physkeyboard=blac" is not at the same place, we have exactly the same startup.txt. Will try your config, who knows...

Thanks anyway.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Doesn't matter where in the cmdline the command goes. It just needs to be somewhere on the cmdline between the quotes, with at least one space between each item.

You're also on the newest autobuild rootfs?
[Touch HD Android Development] masrterk:
We want a Android Full rom . Wm6.x is dead

make a rom with android and i will donate runing direct from device not SD

thanks
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
That's nice.
[Touch HD Android Development] jeanfrederic:
I tried without the TS calibration, with 1225 kernel and with your, with latest rootfs and with yours from the bundle. The front buttons make the blackstone to vibrate, but still do not work. I don't understand why...
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
The ts-calib shouldn't have anything to do with the front buttons, from what I understand. I assume the touchscreen is accurate and works well?

Did you put the newest rootfs AND make the startup.txt change, physkeyboard=blac?
[Touch HD Android Development] miazza:
I have tried to install this on my diamond 100. I copied everything on the root of sd an copied the dia100 file on the root. I booted herat and after the xdandroid logo the phone reboot in winmobo... did I do something wrong?
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Have you ever run Android on your DIAM?

For example, if your card is partitioned you need to put "no_partitions" in your startup.txt.

You can also try formatting your internal storage (4gb) with the HP Tool. FAT32.

Hi, Can you please reupload these files. Original link don't work
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
files.xdandroid.com seems to be down.

Try the .cz mirror.

[Touch HD Android Development] David.one:
Hello

I just installed on my HD FRX07.1_Full_Bundle_20110901

the problem, a time in an application I can not get out

There is no key closed by the same physical buttons
[Touch HD Android Development] mr.george.dixon:
Button Commmands

Installed full bundle set and ts-calibration_blac but my HTC Touch HD buttons dont work. They just vibrate but no command. Power and volume work fine
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Alright, I'm updating this just for Blackstone users... Enough of these posts! Give me a bit to fix and reupload.

Edit, uploading...

Edit2, uploaded, now waiting for it to mirror. Shouldn't be long now.

Edit3, it's up on the mirror... So to those having issues, download this new bundle and follow the same directions in the first post. Should work great...

Should be up on the main site/link shortly.

Edit4, done. Main site is up-to-date.
[Touch HD Android Development] David.one:
thank you

it works perfect all the keys work ;)
[Touch HD Android Development] tunasalad:
thanks so much arrrghhh for your great work really appreciated ,just one question if u please when i try to shut down and start again it won't let me boot from the storage card .it start direct my custom wm 6.5 that already installed in the device ,so i have to go to again to the storage card and setup the android ROM again,is there any way to keep the both ROM's working with any option to choice the boot if android or my custom ROM? and if i want to restart the android ROM how can i do that? i have no option to restart when i press the power bottom.thanks in advance for your effort.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
There's currently no (stable) option to only boot Android if that's your question. It will always go back to WinMo.

Also, this build is a little older than the GB build. That one has a restart option from the power menu. Shutdown/restart has always been kinda flaky tho... shutdown would sometimes do a restart for example.
[Touch HD Android Development] farcry27:
SD cards

Thanks for this Build. Running good

..but not on the sd card i want to use..the Transcend Micro SD 8GB - HC

tried putting the code below in the startup.txt inside the quotes with a space separating.. and still not change "SD card waiting.." error

"msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000 msmsdcc_nopwrsave"

But thought I would post that my San disk 2Gb is working. Hope this helps someone.
[Touch HD Android Development] farcry27:
SD card - issues with large cards (8GB and up)

I think I have figured this SD card issue out:

Cards that failed to boot: 2 brands of 8GB, one was a brand new Transcend.

Cards that worked: a 2GB SAN disk and a brand new 4GB Transcend

So it appears (in my experiance) that SDcards of 8GB and up seem to not work and that smaller cards (4Gb and down) do work.

(forgive me if this was already mentioned, i didnt find anything.):cool:
[Touch HD Android Development] 19noob66:
I want to install Android on an other Touch HD, but when it boot cames "Waiting for SD Card".

I have try it with an 4 GB and 8 GB - the same error. With my SD-Card from my other HD it

works. I read that it must be this in the Startup.txt, but it´s not working:

msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000 msmsdcc_nopwrsave

EDIT:

I have found another SD and with this it works.

Transcend 8 GB SDHC - Class 6 = not working

SanDisk 8 GB SDhc - Class 4 = working
[Touch HD Android Development] 19noob66:
My last question (i hope so :D ):

Is there any solution for my "Battery Problem"? My Battery goes very fast down/empty.

Is there any Solution or Trick? At Windows Mobile i have "Standby" 5 Days, at Android

1 Day - when i use my Touch HD with Android it was in 2 or 3 hours empty.

Thank you for an answer.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Sounds pretty normal unfortunately.

Turning off data when not in use helps a lot...
[Touch HD Android Development] ahqball:
Is there anyway for us to reboot the phone without it going back into Windows again?

Or do we have to run from Haret every single time?

Apologies, just saw a post on the prior pages about my original query.

clock slows down, while charging

Hi,

I've installed Froyo, works flawlessly compared to WinMo. Battery drainage is a littlebit quick, that's a pitty.

To avoid lack of battery power, I charge the phone nightly. Recently I discovered that my clock is running slower, when charging the phone. It can increase to 1,5 hours in 6 hours of charging. Is this normal, or do I have to change a setting??

It's very annoying, because I use my telephone also as an alarm clock.:mad::mad:
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
If you bothered to read the FAQ, you'd know there's a way to resolve the clock drift.

Disable data when not in use, helps with battery life.
[Touch HD Android Development] Naitsirhc_NL:
Whoops, I'm so sorry. I haven't done that at all :o:o:o

I think clock sync will do the trick.....Thank you for your quick response

SDCard

Which is the best SDCard for this build?

Youtube doesn't work at all, and the .apk that comes with the build doesn't work.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
HQ YouTube had some issues, but I thought those were mostly resolved.

Best SD Card? I'd say one with high random read/write performance - which they don't really provide outwardly. Usually Sandisk's are best, Class 4 or lower.
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
Well, I have a sandisk 8 gb card, class 2, I guess it will do it.

About youtube, it really doesn't work, I can only hear the sound (no image) and even if I close the youtube app, all the loaded video will play in the background :(.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Hrm. Have you tried disabling HQ? You have to do it in the app's settings.
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
lol didn't know that. I'll tell you if it worked later cause I need to charge the phone and I don't have the charger with me :

EDIT 1: it was already disabled...
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
it was already disabled... ideas?
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
No YouTube videos work, ever?

Have you changed the screen resolution from the default at all? Messed with lcd.density in the startup?

Not sure. Keep in mind, I don't have a Blackstone. I have a RAPH and a RHOD, they both work fine. The RHOD definitely works better all around than the RAPH...
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
ok thanks anyways...
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
(I am using this package right now,'cause it's the best and I need one for daily use.)

How to disable HQ? I went to options(miss call button) and unchecked the first option, but it still go HQ. Any solutions? :(

(I'm using wifi)
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
I thought there was a button on the top right on the screen that allows you to dynamically turn HQ on/off...
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
but when in full screen? will try
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yes, when in full screen. If you touch the screen when in full screen, you should see the controls pop up on the screen...

Perhaps it's never worked on Blackstone? I thought it did, but again you have to remember - I do not have a Blackstone!
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
Ok... I'm really annoyed with the situation! I might get a tablet this sunday, I'm not sure...If I don't I just buy a f***ing kindle xD or an ipod ( ipod forum?) xD joke
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
BLACKSTONE RUNS HQ YOUTUBE! I REPEAT: BLACKSTONE RUNS HQ YOUTUBE!

with the videos:

-David Guetta-alphabeat

-LMFAO- Party Rock Anthem
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
lol. So it is dependent on the video... good to know.
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
When I remove HQ, it simply says "a error has occured while playing" (something like that, my phone is in portuguese)

I think almost all the song videos will work

maybe only vevo's?

Something I noticed is that even being HD, the quality is really bad, so it might be a icon error ;)
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
Hey arrrghhh, you said that no dev's have a blackstone. Well, what about donating to buy one :D?

I don't know the amount of money that XDAndroid team has, but if you accept buying this with the collected funds or collecting donated money, it would be a big step on constructing android builds for our devices. ( I don't want that my idea is badly accepted, it's only a

suggestion

)

Here's an example:h(tt)p://w(w)w.ebay.com/ctg/HTC-Touch-HD-Black-Unlocked-Smartphone--/99979722?_refkw=htc+touch+hd+t8282&_pcatid=801&_odkw=htc+touch+hd&_pcategid=9355&_osacat=15032&_from=R40&_dmpt=Cell_Phones#
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
arrrghhh, will this work on htc tytn II?and if so, what's the startup? I'm asking because this phone is not in the FAQ...
[Touch HD Android Development] adeb2:
Thanks for this great release. I have 10 HTC Blackstone's from an old gaming project laying around. Converting them to ip security cams with the "ip webcam" app. Works great, thanks again.
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
Can you donate one for more development? 10 is a lot... x)

Use 2011/07/11 kernel
[Touch HD Android Development] alphecca911:
http://zimages.googlecode.com/files/htc-msm-linux-20110622_180615-package.tar.bz2

i have the same phone and experianced the same issue, i reverted back to this kernel which works very well, it is a kernel issue, the one in this package will not work with our phones, dont know why OP is looking into it.

Unfortunately you will get the audio stutter, but the kernel i am on now from : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=999544

will remove that, its a clever little patch used in the kernel. Works like a charm on my Touch HD.

If i helped please thank. Thanks!
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
It's also provided in the AndroidApps/Other folder - it has no ad's ;).

rootfs changed quite a bit for FRX07. Not sure why it would cause issues with g3rm0's kernel...

This "music patch" literally disables the [battery] process... while it's a noble effort to fix BLAC's music woe's, it is not an acceptable patch for mainline kernels... sorry. Someone's actually going to have to figure out what in the battery code is causing the issue for BLAC's :p.

I think that's just part of Zeam launcher. You can use any launcher you please on FRX07 - I prefer ADW myself. All on ze Market.

Yea, emwe hasn't been able to fix this bug... sorry!
[Touch HD Android Development] alphecca911:
ahhh, so disabling the battery process means that???? what have i done to my phone lol
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
I guess your phone doesn't experience any weirdness related to the battery when running g3rm0's kernel..? I would certainly expect it to. The current battery driver/algorithm isn't the greatest, but with it being completely disabled I'm sure it'll be even wonkier.. I'm honestly not sure the implications of killing that process.
[Touch HD Android Development] alphecca911:
i have noticed that when moving home screens the screen judders and buttons at the bottom of the screen flash

[Touch HD Android Development] ThaiDai:
FRX07 with CWM, now with WLAN

I tried again: used newest kernels and rootfs as base. Added CWM from Neopeek to rootfs.

Thanks to aaarghhh for giving me the hint with the changed name for the wlan network device.

Now I can connect to my AP and so WiFi is working.

But after the first start I had problems with errors with phone. Only repeating dialog for entering Sim card pw. I took out Sim card and now I can try everything else.

This build seems very fast. Google Sync and Market working.

I want to start installation once again. Maybe phone errors etc resulted from my hasty using after first start.

ToDos: read stineb log for the changes in FRX07 and correct them in this package. Surprise for me: did they change the partitions, maybe don't need 3 ext2 on sd card but only 2 now (without cache?!?)?

Tell more after next reinstall.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Re: partitions. XDAndroid went with a different partition layout than Neopeek did with CWM. So XDAndroid is fully compatible with dedicated partitions, but it expects a different layout.

XDAndroid's partition support does not include cache - it's not necessary from what I've gleaned - just a waste of space. It's only used when upgrading native systems (again, from what I've gleaned... it's not what you typically think of 'cache'). Does anything ever end up in that partition using CWM? I haven't used it in ages...
[Touch HD Android Development] ThaiDai:
My new test is stable now: wifi, phone, market, camera, video, keymapping, no crashes in the first 30 minutes, so SOD, very fast!

Have to change the partition checks in init and can delete cache now. Great. Will try tomorrow.

@arrrghhh: do you think it would be ok opening a new thread with information and download links here? I hope a few members could test this early build and give me tipps and advice for making it better.

XDAndroid did a great job. Thank you so much.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Eodun already has one...

[BUILD] XDAndroid Froyo 2.2.2 FRX06 for CWM Recovery 1.8 (ClockWorkMod) - he said he's trying to get it up to FRX07. Perhaps you can share your work with him?
[Touch HD Android Development] ThaiDai:
I think it would be better to make a new thread with correct Build title. That would make it easier for people to find this build - after a few weeks nobody would look into FRX06 thread to find a FRX07.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Up to you. Eodun is planning on updating to FRX07 is my point, so he will change the thread title when that happens...

Just seems silly to have two FRX CWM threads floating around ;).
[Touch HD Android Development] Marmen:
What do yo mean of making a 1st call?

I'm in progress of flashing my cell phone with FRX07, and with lastest kernel, which i don't know work or not.

Thanks.
[Touch HD Android Development] Marmen:
kernel 1332 means which kernel? And, how long do you take to flash frx07?

2 hours passed, my cell phone is still in flashing...

:confused:
[Touch HD Android Development] piterlol:
im was using 1332 and now 1342 but still audio is shuttering every 10s and for me with both kernels wifi connection is restarting all time.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Did you follow all the steps? ts-calibration is very important...

Newest kernel should boot, but it doesn't fix the audio stutter issue...
[Touch HD Android Development] ypsmav:
finally managed to boot FRX07 from SD

In order to get it to boot:

Format SD and copy FRX07 package.

Latest roofts (rootfs-20110716-245f68a.zip)

Latest Kernel (htc-msm-linux-20110718_223029-package.tar.bz2)

runs really nice.

Now waiting for the CWM version!

Well, I think I can. Incidentally, I will visit the Boom festival in Portugal this summer, but that's not until July 28th :-p

Or should it be sent to someone else ?

Edit: arrrghhh, I think it should go to arrrghhh
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
Portuguese? Olá :p

I think somebody told me ACL, which is a developer, but ask arrrghhh, he'll know what to do and will be happy(at least I think xD)

Don't send it to me, I have one :P
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Does not work on that device, to my knowledge. I don't think that hardware is the same (all XDAndroid devices are very similar hardware-wise - but not identical...)

I'll see if ACL is willing. Not sure if he would be or not. We don't have many active devs left in general unfortunately :(.

I could certainly clean some stuff up for it, but I doubt I'd be able to fix any serious issues plaguing it.

Either way, dude... that signature is WAY too big. You post one line and your sig takes up 6!! :eek:
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
Ok, I'll remove it :D

PM adeb2 if you have somebody available to do the development...

Thanks

android.process.acore has stopped

Hello,

after a few weeks of running android on my BlackStone HD I today ran into a big problem. After trying to install a new app I had to Hard-reset the phone (removing the battery) because the phone did n ot work anymore (no chance to switch it off)

Now I cannot start Froyo anymore.

The first message is: process com.google.android.gm unexpected stopped, please try again (Kill process - button works)

The second message is: process android.process.acore unexpected stoped, please try again. Kill process - button dies not work. From this point I do not get any further. I can only switch the phone off.

Does anyone has an idea what I can do?

Thanks

Data corruption. Reinstall is needed. Format your sd card and do all the same stuff.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Don't need to get that drastic.

Delete your data.img is all that is needed. You can try backing up your data.img and renaming it to data.bak (it will create a new data.img on boot.)

Sometimes the fix_permissions.sh script from Cyanogen can fix it, but it's usually not worth the effort.
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
Ok :P

Since we're talking about corruption, I don't have a single app that crashed without use, like happened to facebook.

I'm happy :D

HTC Sense?

What about htc sense? could it help for the smoothness and the speed? Just sayin'
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
a) Proprietary

b) Will slow things down, are you kidding?

So because of a&b, I don't see why AOSP wouldn't be faster. Just ask anyone who uses Sense on Android...

It actually makes WinMo bearable, but IMHO on Android it's just a waste. Besides, I don't think our phones can run anything past 2.1 with Sense...
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
ok :p

I don't have more ideas of how to run things faster on the builds...Just giving tips :rolleyes:

Hi sir,

Yesterday I've installed FRX07.1, its too easy.

Now i've downloaded arabic language files, but don't know how to use it.

Any help?

Regards
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Mind you, I've never done this.

Download this file. Extract it, place the DroidSansArabic.ttf file in /system/fonts, and libskia.so in /system/lib. You can use Root Explorer, or loop mount the system image file using Linux & replace these files.

I would recommend taking a backup of the libskia.so file, lest that skia file I gave didn't apply cleanly.

***WARNING***

This could cause bootloops. Anytime you replace files in the ROM in this fashion, you could potentially break things. Just FYI ;).
