Uh... ok?

Please provide any source changes back... that's all I ask.
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
I'M finally in! I'll make the changes now (or at least try :D)

---------- Post added 13th July 2012 at 12:19 AM ---------- Previous post was 12th July 2012 at 11:53 PM ----------

So, now I need your help since this is done on windows (:mad:)

my system.ext2 file is uploaded here but in .zip format. Could you put it back on .ext2 and then send it to me?

and, of course, if anything is wrong, please say it:angel:

to be clear(you will see I didn't change a lot):

-Edited build.prop, but just to make it "prettier" for the Blackstone(device name, ect.);

-Deleted unecessary apps(maps,car home, car home launcher ect...); I was gonna delete email since you can use gmail but let it be :)

-something I saw in other devices: deleted launcher2.apk and added a launcher pro apk so LP can be the only launcher... (don't know if it works).

Well, that's all... :o
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
I don't understand... if you loop mounted it, and made changes... just unmount it. Done. If you're making these changes on a Windows machine, I can't really help you... never tried (sorry, I'm not a masochist :p)

None of your changes can get pushed back tho, sorry. This build is AOSP, and will be provided as such. You are welcome to make any changes - don't get me wrong there, but your changes cannot make it back to the main image ;).
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
DANG. well, it's a shame, but my question is why are the kaiser packages already like the one I uploaded (don't know the term) and not in ext.2? I mean in kaiser it's really fast :p
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
I assume you mean flashable ZIP's?

That's because they use CWM, or some other form of recovery to flash the zip. Ours... does not involve any recovery tools, you simply boot Android. So the .ext2, the .img files all get loop mounted in order for the system to work. You can also have dedicated partitions on your SD card, but we found that method to be a lot more difficult to setup, with very little reward.

Kaiser probably has HaRET as well. You're comparing apples to oranges if you're comparing HaRET to NAND/flashing Android. I'm sure they do something similar with that... we used to use sqshfs, but found that ext2 was better/easier to deal with.

Mate, if you had Linux this crap would be SO easy. You don't even have to extract anything... just loop mount, make changes, unmount... done. Couldn't be any easier really.
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
nonono, I didn't mean that xD

I mean it has CWM, but doesn't work like that

Yes, it has HaRET

the files are like the ones I uploaded but not zip, just normal files, which is kinda weird :eek: So, you can go to disr file, then app and then all the apps r there...

but yes the file named androidinstall.tgz or .tar is where the system is but they have atools: a program that just decompiles the files to its places on the root of the SD( also has boot script editorand keymapper) and...1 more time, more developers, even DaveShaw has one...

You're right, I gotta get linux, this is getting in my nerves...xD

p.s.-atools runs on python, btw...
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
Ok, this is getting weird...

my san disk sdcard 8gb class 2 is broken so im using nokia 2gb card (doesnt show class)

this is what happpened:

-i recorded a video in low quality and COULD play it! but the camcorder didn't work anymore...

- so i went to youtube, and it was working! but it had a green kinda thing occupying 1/4 of the screen starting on the top

-3d games working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D: I tried speedx 3d and almost no lag!!

-angry birds and fruit ninja are working!! but slow, since they are very heavy games

and I didn't overclock yet!

edit: camcorder is working now
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
"Classless" cards are sometimes the best.

Do a heads up comparison of all your cards, see which has the fastest random R/W ability. That is the best card.
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
Then I guess we can conclude that the SD that comes with the phone is bad for HAReT, because that's what I was using.

About the green bar on the youtube videos, don't you know nothing about that?
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
No clue what you mean about the 'green bar', sorry. I'm assuming it's only certain videos? HQ, non-HQ?
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
non-HQ - HQ doesn't work.

I guess bad hardware... oh well

other thing: it seems that "Battery Calibration" app is the solution for the Blacky! Yesterday I almost didn't touch the phone and it only spend like 1/4 of the battery! without the app, the battery woulb be already gone! I think this is something to add to the thread since it's a great fix! I guess the batterystats.bin file is broken then, 'cause this app replaces it! you could even make this app to auto-install xD (AndroidApps folder)
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yes, I've stated this before. Its affects seem short-lived however. Good luck.
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
dude, I'm saying not. It really look slive windows mobile now trust me! windows mobile battery holds for ~4 days if you don't use it a lot and that's what's happening on android! The battery driver is messed up, and this helps a lot!
[Touch HD Android Development] denva:
i dont know why it doesnt work for me when ever i restart my phone .

I need to configure it again to work..

please tell me what to do to let it work when i reboot or restart my phone..:crying:
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
YOU ALWAYS have to run haret in order to enter android.
[Touch HD Android Development] denva:
Thanks for your Info But is there any Android rom to completely flash my phone ?
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
no, read the FAQ. And if you don't know where the FAQ is, use the SEARCH! :good:
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Not your Blackstone... there were a few guys that were (badly) trying to take ACL's work and adapt it for the Blackstone, but they were not on this forum.
[Touch HD Android Development] denva:
so it means there is no official Android rom cooked rom ?
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
You can't flash Android to your Blackstone. Sorry.
[Touch HD Android Development] raptus84:
Any progress?

But... now that you have a device for testing....Are there any news about a nand rom? Any progress? I guess now there's a team working on it doesn't it?
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
there are people. I can't post their link here because they are hated. On theirs nand rom only wifi and 2g/3g doesn't work: they need better kernel!

Just sayin'...don't hate me XDA -.-
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
I don't have a device... I have 2 RHOD's and a RAPH. I can't seem to make much progress on the RAPH, so I doubt I'll make much if I had a BLAC.

Y'know, if they had actually worked with ACL et al to begin with, they probably would have everything working. lol.

Either way, good for them. Way to kang...
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
I also think that arrrghhh, just think the hole situation is just stupid and making my phone to have less android power, but whatever maybe I'll buy a new one :rolleyes:
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
"hole situation"?

You don't even know the situation. They still kang, but meh. It's open source, c'est la vie... I guess ACL should've made something like MAGLDR and closed source the 'hole' thing? c'mon...

Regardless, it might be best if you buy a newer device. Even my RHOD, "fully" working Android is a slow/poor experience compared to a native device. Again, c'est la vie... old/outdated hardware. Adreno130 is quite poor. Only redeeming quality the RHOD has is a physical keyboard... The BLAC doesn't have such things. So, I would say this device is pretty much useless. Sorry.

Good luck.
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
I mean hole situation when people here got pisted off with tiad8 (because of warez and "stealing" others work) then he had to go away and create a website... members like f.a.g.yi (which commanded the icebread on NAND for the blac) would help a lot, but note to self: get a newer phone
[Touch HD Android Development] disaster2009:

[Touch HD Android Development] GuardChapaai:
Hi arrrghhh!

First of all, thanks for your work.

I'm reading the whole thread to avoid anoying questions and post a question regarding battery (I will do once arrived to the end eheheh).

However I have seen this, and is the same "problem" I have with mine. I know LED can run with a minimun consumption, so this don't bother me. However, if it is on that means is on wake state? Mine is always on (with the screen off too), so it can explain the reason it drain the battery so fast. Or it doesn't have relation? (wake/sleep state with the light)

To give more information, on WinMo, the light is on:

- When receiving a call.

- When have a missed call/sms

- When charging the device.

Kind regards!
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yes, the LED in this build is set for sleep/wake. You can use a piece of software (should be included in AndroidApps) called XDALEDRegime or something to that effect... It can change it.

However, this might only be for GBX0C - I'd have to look at what I've packed. I would encourage everyone to be on that build regardless... Gingerbread.

The drain is probably from something like the panel or a radio being left on, poor data utilization (for example, turn off mobile data --> see how battery life skyrockets). LED's take hardly any power compared to a cell/wifi radio ;). Trust me...
[Touch HD Android Development] D-Surfer:
when I'm instaling I get this message:

"Waiting for SD Card"

Strange.. What could be the problem?

I've a Touch HD (Blackstone) with the a Energy ROM, could be because of this?
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
format SD card, if that doesn't work, read the first posts of this thread and the FAQ.
[Touch HD Android Development] D-Surfer:
I've the SD Card formated :(

Should I install anything more? Have a diferent ROM?

I read the first posts and I dont find any error like mine..
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
if not here, then on GBX0C and go to xdandroid.com
[Touch HD Android Development] D-Surfer:
thanks for the help..

I will try the other android version.

I will leave feedback..

... I was loking for the files of the NAND but I can't download it.. do you now where I can get those? I will be very pleasure to test that bundle and leave my feedback to the rest of the comunity.
[Touch HD Android Development] D-Surfer:
After some reading on other posts..

I need to update the "startup.txt". I add this comand to the cmd line "

msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000 msmsdcc_nopwrsave

"

Now I have the startup.txt like this:

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 msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000 msmsdcc_nopwrsave"

boot

WORKS PERFECT :victory:

Many Thanks
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
that's what I was telling to you. Just didn't know it wasn't on this thread :p

They probably deleted the NAND links if they are not there. Wait you are portuguese, me too :D PM coming

Kernel download where?

Hi together,

1. the download links to http: zimages.googlecode.com/files are down.. any idea where to get other kernel or updates?

2. I have problems with the installation on HTC Blackstone.. after at least 15 trys wiith different SD cards, formatting, builds it now seems to install.. but after a few minutes there is shown since at least 10 minutes now "init: /init.rc: xxx: ignored duplicate definition of service .. >> dhcpcd >> ppd_gprs >>keystore >>mtpd >>wlan:loader ... and so on..

the boot display is not frozen and the messages repeats

any idea?

thanks for all

XDANDROID bootscreen than reboot device

the problems above are solved (suddenly it works..)

But now, the device boots to the XDANDROID bootscreen and after a few minutes the device reboots in WM6.5

How can i boot to android?

sorry for silly questions...
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
use WM 6.1
[Touch HD Android Development] Angat:
Well I want to say, very good build, I am using it right now, but why such old Android version? Is there a build with a newer one?
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
GBX0C is newer.
[Touch HD Android Development] Angat:
Well does it perform better? And does it need paritions?
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
they both perform the same In my opinion. no doesnt need partitions (like FRX)
[Touch HD Android Development] Angat:
Then what is the diffrence between IceFroyo and Gingerbread?
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
for that question use google.
[Touch HD Android Development] Angat:
Um when I start Haret, my phone just reboots, what should I do to fix that?
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
use WinMo 6.1
[Touch HD Android Development] Angat:
And how exactly should I do that? Also is there a NAND version that has its Bluetooth fixed, other then the one we cant solve my problem about! I want to try and flash another one and want to see if it works?
[Touch HD Android Development] chan.sk:
Clock drift and battery life - use faster microSD

I had installed FRX07.1 on different versions of microSD and my conclusion is that the newer and faster cards give better clock consistency and improved battery life.

First, I tried an old (2008) class-2 8GB microSD. That did not work too well. Startup was problematic and sometimes need a couple of reboots before getting Android out. The clock drift and short battery life was very apparent.

Then I tried another newer (2010) no-class 8GB microSD. This worked better but I still experienced the clock drift (less than the previous microSD install) and relatively short battery life (10-14 hrs on standby).

Finally, I bought a new Class 4 32GB microSD and this worked much better. I did not experience any noticeable clock drift and battery life seemed to improved (in excess of 14 hours on standby but this was down to almost being drained so I had to charge it).

Based on my experience with different age and class of microSD cards, I have arrived a a simplistic conclusion that:

1. Faster cards have better read/write access times and this attributes to better clock (display) accuracy.

2. Faster cards will also have shorter dwell times in the read/write modes, so sucks up less energy.

3. Newer technology produces more energy-efficient cards.

Hope this helps those who wants to venture on the using this build.

PS:

I have now progressed to the the NAND ROM by fagyi.

[ROM] {NAND} AOSP-GBX | < Kernel: 2.6.27 > | 2013.01.20

It is now about 24 hours since Fully-charged (charging was done with device switched-off),

and battery icon reads 55%. Device was mostly on standby mode.
[Touch HD Android Development] InV15iblefrog:
I tried it, and it works flawlessly. In fact, i use it as a daily phone side by side with two HD2s running nativesd, and a GT-N7100.

And at times, i wonder if the Touch HD will be strong enough to withstand the winds of ICS or maybe even Jellybean...
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
Nope.
[Touch HD Android Development] chan.sk:
Nope. Not enough resources - too slow CPU, too little memory in ROM and RAM.

Since you have 2 HD2s, you could try to ICS or JB one of them. HD2s should have enough juice to run ICS/JB
[Touch HD Android Development] InV15iblefrog:
meh. never mind. and @chan.sk, I am actually, using PA-HD2 latest version on both, after going through about fifty others...Xylograph's Pacman 1.2a being my favourite after my current one.

But thanks for your suggestion, however for once, i was one step ahead :p :)

Mobile Wifi tethering doesn't work

Guys, first of all I want to thank you for your overwhelming nice work - you make my HTC Touch Pro usable. :good:

But I've got a major issue: I'm not able to provide a mobile WLAN-hotspot by my phone - neither by the native function (after tapping onto this butten I recieve a error notification and the button wents grey and no longer usable), nor by using Wireless Tether for Root Users (it says:

Uable to start tethering. Please try again!

), or Barnacle Wifi Tethering (

I'm Using the FRX07.1_Full_Bundle_20110901 (Startup: RAPH100) and modules-2.6.27.46-01356-gd4c73bd.tar.

Parts of my daily work depends on the Wifi tethering function, and I don't want to use another Smartphone than the HTC Touch Pro (1).

Can you - please - provide me a solution, which is made for noobs like me? I've tried anything the FAQ (xdandroid.com/wiki/Faq#How_can_I_tether_.28WiFi.2FUSB.29.3F) was explaining to me - an failed.

Regards, your petit prince

Edit: My WLAN doesn't work as well. After trying to establish a wifi tethering hotspot in the native box, WLAN shuts down, too.

[Touch HD Android Development] welard:
HI ALL!!....

i just want to ask any one how can help.......to kill battery process is it is it done like this : su

kill -9'ing

enter

or IS IT

su

kill -9'ing [battery] process

ENTER

thanks
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
I kinda mixed commands with English...

kill -9 28

I can't remember the pid off hand, but replace the (pid) with a number. I'll see if I can find it.

Edit - ok, pid of the [battery] process appears to be 28 on my device. So kill -9 28 should kill that process... Keep in mind while this will allow you guys to play music, I'm sure the negative effects will be quite drastic. I would not recommend doing this.
[Touch HD Android Development] welard:
ok thanks ill give it a try for now
[Touch HD Android Development] welard:
if G3rmo could update the kernal to the latest one with shutter fix that would be even better or if someone else was able to that would be better, than killing process......wouldnt it?
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
That's basically what G3rm0's kernel does AFAIK - just kills the battery process for you - you'd have to ask him how it actually works.

Again, it'd be much better for people on the BLAC to work towards fixing the actual issue, rather than putting this horrible band-aid over the problem...
[Touch HD Android Development] welard:
yes i know what you mean........hopfully there will be a fix......(fingers crossed)
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Is anyone looking into it? I think I've seen some logs from it, and the culprit definitely seems to be the battery code...

I don't have a BLAC and I'm certainly not talented enough to be hacking at the kernel on a device I don't even have... so I'm going to have to lean on you guys to contribute!

Hoping is great, but doing is better :D.
[Touch HD Android Development] welard:
sorry no one i know of is looking into it.......hopfully some one with experience will take alook at it.........(not me i aint talented enough yet lol)

Any how to fix it ?
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Did you change anything from the bundle on the first post...? Have you tried updating? It sounds like you might've mucked with something - I've only gotten that error when playing with the Phone.apk or the RIL...
[Touch HD Android Development] ThaiDai:
I got this error or errors like this when I tried to use Android too fast after installation and first boot.

Now I wait a few minutes after a new install before I touch it and do not have this errors any more.

[Touch HD Android Development] Kapie:
i tried this too on my blackstone, but once its starting android (i see the animation with the android puppets creating the letters xdandroid) it suddenly vibrates and freezes for a couple of seconds. theny device restarts and launches winmo.

anybody has a clue? thanks a lot!
[Touch HD Android Development] ThaiDai:
Enough free space on your sd card? Maybe the installer get's a problem when creating data.img.

Or your sd card has errors. Try to backup sd card content to somewhere, and delete all partitions and create new one. Copy backup to sd card again and try again.
[Touch HD Android Development] Kapie:
so you suggest to just format my sd card? and that partitions thing: must i format my card with a special program, cause as far as i know my card works like a USB-stick in terms of storage
[Touch HD Android Development] ThaiDai:
I use "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" for a few weeks now.

You have to options:

1 partition: only fat32 and use the build in this thread

4 partitions: all primary (!), one fat32, three ext2 (system, data, cache)

Using a build with CWM (clockworkmod) or my build in this forum

Size of ext2 partitions depending on the size or your card
[Touch HD Android Development] Kapie:
i have an eight gigs sd card, and most of that is occupied by music. i have around 2 gigs left, but i havent formatted it for this build. maybe i should do it, or try the four partitions u mentioned (i saw ur thread).

what is an advantage of more partitions?
[Touch HD Android Development] ThaiDai:
Pros:

Administrative tasks like backups, fixes, updates possible (with CWM 1.8 very stable, because many people use it, with my version little bit in development)

my opinion, not prooved: real ext2 partitions should be a little faster because kernel can write directly, with img-files on fat32, you'll have a "conversion" from ext2 internal to fat32 on sd car

With my installation, possibility to select tasks in windows mobile program before starting haret.exe

Cons:

A little bit more difficult at start because you have to change your partition layout with a tool. A lot of people have problems with this, despite the good tutorials.

Original build from XDAndroid! I think it is very important to mark this: every other build changes some things, very often untested (made me angry some times in tiad8's forum). Original XDAndroid and you won't have strange problems (like many builds now with no wifi at startup - I solved it for my build :D)
[Touch HD Android Development] Kapie:
i formatted my sd and still the it doenst work. now it just freezes and doenst respond anymore. the touchbuttons however make the device vibrate if pushed. ill try your build tomorrow with the program you mentioned for partitioning. ive already downloaded it but i hope it isnt too hard to use :P
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Woah woah guys.

First, you don't need dedicated partitions for this build... but I think you know that, yes?

Second, did you read the caveat list?

Not sure if the newest kernel works, if it doesn't use the one I suggest above ^^.
