Blackstone keeps resetting

Hi,

I have the HTC Touch HD, and after starting haret you see the linux boot and then the android logo. After showing the android logo for a while, the phone restart. What am I doing wrong ?
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Would be nice.

ACL gladly accepted a RHOD300, even on a temporary basis - when RHOD is more stable/settled, I'm sure he would be happy to help with a BLAC in his hands.

Anyone else? C'mon guys, step up and help the project out.
[Touch HD Android Development] Bodisson:
Gah... I use my Blac as everyday phone, so can't part with it...

Hope someone else has dormant or extra Blac somewhere...

Or I'd be forced to buy Galaxy S II... ;)
[Touch HD Android Development] albertoNilus:
Hello!

I'm a blacstone owner and i'm jsut tring in these days this froyo build.

I had to update roots to get the keys working (followin suggetions in first posts).

I'm experiencing some hanging using 3G internet conenctions, wifi is working great!

The big issue is with the clock: is not accurate and BIG issue: is not

taking in consideration the summer time (one our less).

ciao!!
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Please read the FAQ.
[Touch HD Android Development] albertoNilus:
Thanks! sorry I read FAQ but I missed the clock drift topic.

Given that I don't like to ask only I'd like to give my contribute

so I spent some time studing linux sources.

Maybe I'm just discovering the warm water but

I think that the drift problem is due to a wrong number

into the initialization structure MACHINE_START

into the arch/arm/xxx...

I'm going to search for the good value... could you kindly indicate me

what the xxx directory used for blackstone hw structure ?

Thanks!!
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
xxx directory? There's boardfiles for each device, if that's your question.
[Touch HD Android Development] albertoNilus:
yes it's. I downloaded incrediblec-2.6.32.15-gb7b01d1 but I don't

found under arch/arm anything which remaind me the blackstone...

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place/dowloaded version....

Sorry I'd like to help but I don't want to waste your time...
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Anyone is welcome to help, our source code has always been public. It's part of being compliant with the GPL - especially with the kernel source.

It sounds like you downloaded a kernel for the Incredible, why did you expect to find kernel code for our devices? :confused:

Our kernel source trees are here. There's a .27 branch and a .35 branch here...
[Touch HD Android Development] albertoNilus:
Ok thanks, it'll be my job for the next nights :) .
[Touch HD Android Development] Fighter_MA:
How I can update Market? Not updated automatically. And if I try to install an apk, Android will not let me.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
These directions always worked for me.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Hooray, I have finally gotten off my lazy duff and committed the changes! Anyone wanting to use the new keymap can simply update to the newest autobuild rootfs and make sure you have that physkeyboard=blac setting in your startup.txt. All rootfs' going forward should now 'just work' with that physkeyboard setting.

Thank g3rm0 for the actual layout.
[Touch HD Android Development] big noob:
I can't get working this android -.-...

Neither neopeek andro versions..

Calibration is big problem for me..With and old and new kernel..I can't calibrate my touch..ok with new kernel touch is great but my buttons doesn't work :S (end call,call,back,home).. :((
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Did you bother reading the post directly above yours? Or the caveat post? Or anything for that matter?

Update to the newest rootfs, put physkeyboard=blac in your startup.txt.
[Touch HD Android Development] mnamnam:
Hi m8s,

got the softkeys not work problem also. Downloaded the complete package yesterday, did update to the newest rootfs (from the link in first post), added physkeyboard=blac in my startup.txt (and than get an error message : Unknown keyword: `physkeyboard' when starting haret, then it boots into android). BTW the keys do vibrate, but no action following.

Never had that issue with any other build.

And a bit wondering why there are chinese symbols in systems text settings.

:confused:
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Please post your startup.txt, I have a feeling there's something awry.

Never had Chinese symbols in my texts. Ever. IIRC someone did have that issue, but it was some problem with WinMo bleeding over. I can't remember exactly... Search is your friend here.
[Touch HD Android Development] mnamnam:
Hi arrrghhh,

thanks for your quick response. Find the startup.txt attached, directly copied from sd-card.

To clarify the chinese text, it's at settings -> language and text.

Language set is german (latin text), below is Text-settings, there the first entry is in chinese characters, next line says "android keyboard settings" is german and latin text, next line is Japanese IME ??

Hope this is not too confusing, because i am :o

Added: The power button (top button) works. Reacts a bit slow or sporadic sometimes, can't say better.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
You need set cmdline all on one line, see below:

set ramsize 0x10000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 2030
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmvkeyb_toggle=off msm_blackstone_pad.vibrate=1 gsensor_axis=-2,-1,3 physkeyboard=blac pm.sleep_mode=1"
boot

Each line must be one line only. You had a carriage return after the gsensor setting.

Anyhoo, ignore that Chinese. That's for changing the language settings to Chinese lol. I thought you meant text messages you were receiving had Chinese characters in them. You're the second person to think this is a bug, it's not a bug at all. It's how Android is.
[Touch HD Android Development] mnamnam:
:):):)

Lol, shame on me. And big thx again for your help.

So this will be the first intense test as "production system".
[Touch HD Android Development] mringoot:
Did a test with latest version this weekend.

After swapping SD card,

Every seems to be working ok, except audio rerouting using bluetooth to my carkit.

Any development on that issue ?
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
BT's not done yet. There's a lot of audio routing issues still.
[Touch HD Android Development] welard:
HI can anyone help!!......i was using a build with camera working then wanted to try Huawei U8150 ROM 3/5/2011,Cherry Pie Build v3 CWM which didnt have camera working for me,..so i replaced the camera libs....

libcamera.so

liboemcamera.so

but it didnt work (damm) lol...... can anyone tell me if its only these two files to change or more libs required?.....thanks all
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Sorry, not going to help you kang stuff for some subpar build. If camera works here, why not run it :rolleyes:.
[Touch HD Android Development] mchlebowski:
Hello, can you tell me how to change end button to home, and home button to android menu?? It is not good for me and i just want to replace it.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Wow, member since 2009 and this is post #1? Congrats!

This isn't an easily achieved task however. The keymaps are in the rootfs (in init.etc) and every new rootfs you'll have to change to your liking.

Edit - After looking at g3rm0's thread this is the default layout. Is it not? Update to the newest rootfs, but do NOT put physkeyboard=blac in startup.txt (no physkeyboard setting is fine). Does it work now?
[Touch HD Android Development] mchlebowski:
heh right, it was 1st post:) thank you for congrats:)

Unfortunately FRX70.1 doesn't work fine with rootfs from this thread (wifi doesn't work and there is a problem with shutting down blackstone)

BTW are there any diffirences in battery life between FRX70 and FRX70.1?
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Oh no, update to the newest kernel on the rootfs autobuild. g3rm0's changes have finally been committed (by me).
[Touch HD Android Development] mchlebowski:
I had tried this too, and it seems that i'm gonna get used to this, but thank you:)
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
:confused:

What's wrong still...? The newest rootfs has his keylayout in it, if you use physkeyboard=blac. It sounds like you want the 'old' layout, which should be no keylayout setting... correct? Am I missing something?
[Touch HD Android Development] Wittelsbach:
Hello together,

at first great work!

After some attempts, now it work fine, BUT my buttons won't work.

I can start an app but I can't go out of it, what's that?

If I push the button it vibrates but nothing happens!

Now I've tried the 'physkeyboard=blac' in the startup.txt but there's no change

Does anybody have an idea what I can do?

Thanks a lot!

Bye Jo
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
You tried physkeyboard=blac, but did you update to the newest rootfs..? If no, then that setting is ignored.
[Touch HD Android Development] Wittelsbach:
:-)

Thanks a lot, it works, you're great!

Now I can test!

The next step will be Android on my HTC HD2.

Does the FroYo Android extist for HTC HD2?
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Dude, the HD2 is probably the best supported WinMo device that runs Android, mainly because of the hardware specs. I suggest you visit their side of the forums, it's a different world over there.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
This post is for Prasanna_Bhasuru.

You should put "physkeyboard=blac" in the "set cmdline" section, in between the quotes, with at least one space between each command. Make sure this set cmdline all appears on one line.
[Touch HD Android Development] mchlebowski:
yes, I want the "old" layout, but it looks like it is impossible in FRX07.1.

Now I have bigger problem, does anybody know why clock is late about 1-2 minutes per hour?? I tried to set up time manually and automatic, and still the same late.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
I assume you can have the old layout, just put no physkeyboard entry with the newest rootfs. I don't have a Blackstone, you'll have to do some legwork here.

Second, read the FAQ. ClockSync fixes the drift for carriers that don't broadcast NITZ properly.
[Touch HD Android Development] Prasanna_Bhasuru:
Sorry, but no luck. Let me tell you what i did.

1.Download and extract FRX07.1_Full_Bundle_20110901 and copy contents as suggested to the root of my SD card.

2. Re use the known good ts- calibration file.

3. Update Startup as below:

set ramsize 0x10000000

set ramaddr 0x10000000

set mtype 2030

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

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

boot

4. Download latest rootfs and rename it to rootfs.img and copy in the same folder as haret.exe.

5. run haret

I have the haret loading xdandroid and was able to access all menus, but the four soft buttons at the bottom are still not working.

Sorry if i am doing something stupid here, but would appreciate your help in getting the buttons work!

Thanks

Prasanna
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
LoL, I said between the quotes, but ok.

See how it should appear here. Again, I said one line, in between the quotes...

set ramsize 0x10000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 2030
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmvkeyb_toggle=off msm_blackstone_pad.vibrate=1 gsensor_axis=-2,-1,3 pm.sleep_mode=1 physkeyboard=blac"
boot

You should be able to copy that entire section and just paste it over your existing startup.txt.
[Touch HD Android Development] Prasanna_Bhasuru:
LOL

Silly me, followed the one space bit but not the within quotes one. Anyhow, thank you verymuch, i now got the buttons working, you are a star :)

Have a query though, I now have the phone connected to my pc and am trying to access SD card, but am not able to get this? can you help? I want to copy some stuff on to SD card but dont want to restart and go back to WM to do that .
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
I recommend you read the FAQ.

DroidExplorer helps 'fake' USB mass storage, but there's no native support for it. I heard there's some 'dual mount' app or something on the Market that works, but that's not supported - so you're on your own if you go that route ;).
[Touch HD Android Development] nelson oliveira:
Hi guys,

How are you?

Well...i just finished to install Android in my Blackstone and eveything went nice...well...almost everything...since i dont have the phone keys (home, back, etc) to work.

I've already read this thread from first page and about the 20th i saw some off you complaiing about the same issue but to be honest...i dind't get it how to fix it.

Can anyone give me a hand on this?

Should i download any recent file? Did i done anything wrong?

Any help is welcome.

Kind regards and thanks in advance...
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
From the 3rd post caveat list:

Front buttons messed up/wrong? You can use my rootfs which incorporates g3rm0's layout. This custom rootfs is no longer necessary, I have committed the changes so you can use the autobuild rootfs (in conjunction with physkeyboard=blac in your startup.txt)!
[Touch HD Android Development] nelson oliveira:
Hi again,

First of all let me thank you for your help.

Unfortunately it didn't solve...but...i've replaced the system.ext2 file with the one you refer in the first post and now everything works great.

Already tested wifi, gps, market...and works like a charm.

I just have one question now...is that normal that the top power indicator light is ALWAYS on?

Even when the phone is sleeping...

I'm afraid that this light could drain my battery faster.

Once more thanks a lot for your help and congratulations for you great work.

Keep up!!!!
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
I guess on Blackstone the LED still indicates sleep/wake state. If you think that's going to drain your battery tho, you're kidding right? It's an LED, it draws so little power that it's pretty much negligible. Your battery could probably run that LED for a year if that's all it was running!

I also don't follow you, but I guess if it's fixed then good?
[Touch HD Android Development] Ardyjay:
Does any kernel after 1356 work for blackstone? Phone freezes after starting up Haret.exe.

I renamed the zImagexxxx file to zImage and copy/replace it. Thanks.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Make sure you're using a .27 kernel (modules will say 2.6.27.xxxxx... anything that says 2.6.35 or 2.6.39 WON'T WORK!!). .35/.39 won't boot for Blackstone.
[Touch HD Android Development] king40:
hi

i have some question

camera working ?

i must hspl this phone for install android?

if i install android then i can switch between windows & android?

thanks
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Howdy

Yes, but it's not flawless. I've noticed the third party apps work better than the stock app as well (Fast Burst Camera or something like that was one of the better ones that was pointed out before).

Nope, HSPL is only required to flash unsigned images (NBH's). This isn't a ROM, it doesn't replace WinMo. Everything runs off the SD.

Yup. Pretty much answered with your previous question, but when you reboot from Android it goes right back to WinMo ;).
[Touch HD Android Development] ypsmav:
I've seen those Kernels 2.6.35 or 2.6.39 on the alternate repository.

What are they about? different developer branch?
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
They're newer kernels. Based on 2.6.35 and 2.6.39. There's also 3.0 and 3.1, but on a different repo :D.
[Touch HD Android Development] mr_grisha:
About Blackstone startup problems

Yes - the use of "physkeyboard=blac" for mine Blacstoune was mandatory. The tasts are OK now. by first check i have kracks bu the adio play...
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
What? Is there a question here...?

If you're talking about audio stutter with playing music, well-known problem. There's an issue with the battery code - there's some "other" kernels floating around that have claimed to have fixed the problem. Well, they fixed the issue by disabling the [battery] process. See the caveat post.
[Touch HD Android Development] mr_grisha:
I see, there is still not success by the Audio stutter. I agree - the problem is well known, but can some one realy solved please, not just to patch the battery process....

The diod on the power tast is always on in red and the battery life when in use is one hour only!
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Need a kernel developer with a Blackstone to take it on. Unfortunately I'm not aware of any devs with a Blackstone... Sorry guys.
[Touch HD Android Development] yarach:
I do own a blackstone and would like to help. But making kernels is not exactly my thing.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
I'm sure there's many in your boat. Either start tearing into git and get comfy with C... or just keep waiting like everyone else :p.

Unfortunately this device is getting pretty long in the tooth, so most developers have moved on to other devices. C'est la vie... Perhaps be happy it made it this far...?

EPST /

Unable to change the MSL in a customer WM 6.5 Upgrade, so I'm trying to change it in FRX07.1, have re-installed the EPST.apk file, but still ##778# isn't activated.

Can somebody recommend what to do next?
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
EPST has to happen in WinMo. Not supported in Android. Did you post on PPCG about a Touch Diamond? This is the wrong forum, as was that other post...
[Touch HD Android Development] Hanzsel:
Just started Android on my blackstone

I don't seem to be able to switch between apps, phone and the browser.

Once I'm there I can only use what I've selected and there doesn't seem to e a way to go back to a main screen or home whatsoever.

Guessing the "hardware"buttons are failing

Changed keyboard settings in startup.txt.

from the standard startup to en very long cmdline I found in this post. Nothing works?

Please help.
[Touch HD Android Development] Hanzsel:
:S

I am now using the second newest kernel and the "hardware" buttons work fine.
[Touch HD Android Development] mistervinavil:
I had the same problem with my blackstone: i used the second system2.ext (15july) and now home button works fine! :D
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
No need for that, just update to the newest rootfs and put the physkeyboard setting in your startup.txt... this is in the caveat post folks, please read it.
[Touch HD Android Development] g3rm0:
I'll just leave it right here ;)

IMPORTANT NOTES:

This is the most recent kernel (same as 20111017_080427 from autobuild) with jbruneaux "fix" for cracking audio. It was modified by me so it shouldn't break other devices like original solution did. All it does is temporary disabling of battery polling when speaker/headphones are active. This means battery status won't be updated until music is stopped. Modules are quite big because I had trouble with stripping them. Still... they should be functionally identical with the ones from autobuild.

Please note that I can't guarantee everything will work as with autobuild kernel. Unfortunately I've deleted all my linux VM files (by accident) and had to redo everything from a scratch. My previous build configuration was pretty solid but the new one is still unproven.
[Touch HD Android Development] welard:
hi g3rm0...

i see your running gingerbread 2.3.7 on our blackstone, would u like to share?......would love to try your (own build)

thanks for the new kernel!:)
[Touch HD Android Development] g3rm0:
Hi,

I don't want to release anything that's wasn't published officially by XDAndroid devs. Also it's not exactly "my build" it's the same as XDAnroid repo with my apps and ringtones. I'm sure official release (better than my homegrown stuff) will come soon.

I should probably change my sig ;)
[Touch HD Android Development] welard:
ok thats fine i really understand.....i also tryed gingerbread 2.3.7 but had wake issues and camera not working after changing libcamera, liboemcamera, libcamera.service and libcamera.client......can i ask how you solved those two things....thanks
[Touch HD Android Development] g3rm0:
I didn't have any issues with sleep/wake on current kernel and build (there is pm.sleep_mode=1 in my startup.txt but it's probably irrelevant). Camera can take stills but not video - known bug.

If you follow this tutorial you should be able to build your own system image with minimum effort. However there are few things to note:

1. You need to use Ubuntu 10.04. It won't work on older version and there are additional steps in Ubuntu 11.10 (not covered by this tutorial).

2. First build takes absurdly long time. It was something like 10 hours on my Linux VM. May be faster on quad-core native Linux machine but still it will be hours.

3. Using OpenJDK may not work! It's better to use latest sun-java6-jdk.

4. In step "Build Dependencies" you need to do everything as described with two exceptions.

a) signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip is no longer available on HTC Developer Center - google it.

b) HW3D driver is outdated. Google hw3d-20111216.zip.

5. Last thing to do before build is add booksphone.apk manually because it's missing from the latest gapps package. Google it and place under vendor/xdandroid/msm/proprietary.
[Touch HD Android Development] welard:
thanks alot for all the info.....will give it a shot....thanks again

[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Maybe this is a Blackstone thing? If so, I'll need logs. I don't have a Blackstone.

The built-in wifi tethering app works great on RHOD... until you try to disable it. Locks up the phone hard, must reboot. Again, it works great until you disable.

As for the third party ones (like XDAndroid's own) work just fine on RHOD, they just don't put up a 'real' AP. It creates an adhoc AP, similar to how wifi tethering works on WinMo.
