I think this app was designed for RAPH/DIAM and was never 'upgraded' to work on other devices...

To my knowledge, RAPH/DIAM are the only phones this app works on correctly/fully.

please why my topaz no rotate in home but only in program? any solution please. rotate is select in setting and my control voice for call not work.

thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
Not sure what you mean by "my control voice for call not work" - but rotation on the home screen is NOT supported by Launcher2 (the stock launcher that comes with Android).

There are many other launchers - I have not a clue if they all support rotation on the home screen, but the one I use (ADW) does. So install a different launcher from the Market, check the settings, problem solved.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] uberto.costanzo:
is voice control, google voice work, for browse and other for sms but if i wont call "mary" not work call another number understood now?

thanks for launcher but uses a lot of ram? thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
Not sure how to answer your question(s). I think you asked if ADW uses a lot of RAM? I don't know, nor do I care - it works better than the stock launcher (for me) so I use it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Gian #15:
Hi all,

FRX07 work well for me, only incoming call doesn't work because I can't hear nothing and who is calling me can't hear me...

Sorry for my english.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] mweirauch:
That's a known issue. I tried to debug this issue for about three weeks and then gave up. I will have to revisit that issue.

As a workaround, do an outgoing call to your mailbox or to your own number after starting up XDAndroid. All subsequent incomming calls should have incall audio working.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Gian #15:
Thank you very much!

Another little question: can I use the pc internet connection to navigate with my android? (windows XP)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
Reverse tethering?

Basically you have no internet on your phone, and you want to use a USB cable to provide internet to your phone from your PC?

I'm not sure if this is possible - most people want to tether in the other direction, taking the connection from their phone and using it to provide internet to a PC.

Why not just use wifi...?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Gian #15:
Because in my office there isn't wifi, only ethernet...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
You don't have a data plan? What good is a smartphone with no data :p.

I would use the Google and figure out how to reverse tether on native Android devices - you can probably apply that same concept to our port.

the android can't start with me its finish boot and get the screen of xdAndroid and its loading for time and then restart the device and run wm i have htc diamond 2 and i put the startup.txt of topaz in SD i don't know why restarted
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
Did you read the caveat list? Make sure you're running the newest kernel/rootfs.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] mahmouddsoky:
i download it from this frx07
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] mweirauch:
Peeps, grab the new rootfs. http://files.xdandroid.com/rootfs/

It maps end-call to home. Short press->home, long press->recent apps menu.

No more need for SpareParts remapping via end-call-behaviour.

Have fun.

How much time does Android usually takes to load?

I ve been seeing black background and white text (DOS like) for 15 minutes now and still nothing...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] CRACING:
It creates the data image. Also beware, it asks for touch calibration. See the text what it says. :)

Calibration will be held in the verbose mode itself.

Thanks...

Best Regards
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
More than 10 minutes there's a problem. Especially if you never see the boot animation (flying Droids...)

I would look at the post above mine, make sure you've done the ts-calibration step. There's three options, re-read the first post.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] domingosd:
Hi guys

im having issues with this FRX07 Build on touch diamond 2 ( topaz) , firstly the calibration prompt is not correctly prompting since the calibration point(squres are not visible ) so you need to guess where 1,2,3,4,5 are can i assume 1 = top left 2 top right 3 center of screen 4 botom left 5 bottom right , we then get the android annimation and then The system boots into windows again,

Ive tried formating my SD , reloading the phone downloading FRX07 again , ive seen one or two others with similar symptom any ideas ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] mweirauch:
Download the ts-calibration.zip of the first post in this thread. Extract and place the ts-calibration file on the root of your sd card and restart. (It's a calibration file generated by other users. It's a known issue that calibration doesn't work since a while.)

Michael
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yes, domingosd, if you must manually calibrate (if for whatever reason the "default" calib file doesn't work on your device) then please use the directions on the first post. You must go back to an old kernel, calibrate, then go back to a newer kernel. Again, this info is in the first post.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] pluke100:
everything works great (using all the latest kernel, roots etc...) but when i go to enable wifi it says error. is there a fix? thx :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] MusikMonk:
I'm not sure if this issue is still not solved (Newton Rings ruined two digitizers so not using my Topaz much any more), but older builds required having wireless turned on from WinMo before booting into Android. You might want to give that a shot.

lockscreen

hi, there is a solution for wake-up screen when is locked?

and for wake-up for sms?

thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] uberto.costanzo:
ts calibration

use thisView attachment ts-calibration.zip
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
Hrm, I think it's the 'default behavior' in Android to not wake on an incoming SMS.

What do you mean wake-up when the screen is locked? Hit the power button, screen should wake..? I know on my RHOD this is sometimes painful to wake (panel takes ages before it displays the lock screen). This isn't every time, and an unfortunate side effect of proper panel collapse - for whatever reason the devs haven't sorted out why it's still a pain to wake at times. Seems to be especially painful when stuff is running in the bg, which I guess makes sense... Just seems like there has to be some better way to get the panel in gear.

If you're having panel wake issues where the phone seems dead, try disabling auto backlight in the display settings. Some devices haven't been playing nicely with auto bl...

thanks for reply now i see... sorry for my english
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] metho88:
Wow it's the best bundle ever see for XDANDROID.. But is it rooted or not?

To make it run smoothly, after unzipping, put the folder FRX07 on the root of SD, then, change the startup.txt file as:

set ramsize 0x10000000

set ramaddr 0x10000000

set mtype 2293

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmvkeyb_toggle=off sensor=topaz rel_path=FRX07 pm.sleep_mode=1"

boot

Hope it works with you..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] uberto.costanzo:
hi arrrgh, i have see in my topaz with froyoB thunderbolt v1 (very good) when screen is black and lock, power button + touch the screen wake + fast

thanks sorry for my english
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
The build is rooted, it uses the SU app to provide root access to apps... Older XDAndroid builds didn't employ any app to control root access, it was always just granted without user permission...

Also, do I need to change the startup.txt in the Topaz folder in STARTUPS? I looked & compared, I don't see any difference other than rel_path= in yours... I don't mind changing the startup.txt for Topaz, but I don't see anything wrong with the one I provide ;).

Ok, what does that have to do with FRX07...? Sometimes touching the screen where the unlock swipe starts sometimes will wake the screen, it's a kernel bug...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Tsubaki-San:
How's battery life on this build? Since this is still the main reason stopping me from using it on a daily base.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
Highly dependent on usage (obviously). I can get 12-16 hours on my RHOD (TOPA might be less) with what I would consider 'moderate' usage. If you're a heavy user, you won't make it through the day.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] uberto.costanzo:
hi Arrrgh, is important what rom winmo i use? for have fast android ? or is not important? i use gold 5.5 thanks Illi
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
I would say it's not important at all - I use a stripped build of WinMo (Titanium) in order to be able to boot Android faster - however, this will have nothing to do with the Android experience. It won't make Android go any faster/slower... WinMo is booted out of memory completely when HaRET is ran.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Ryan_:
This method doesn't work for me. My mobile keeps rebooting. I tried everything now. Any suggestions? :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
What method...?

So you downloaded the bundle in the first post, updated the kernel and rootfs... and it reboots?

I'm betting you didn't update the kernel.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Ryan_:
Thanks for your fast response arrrghhh.

I downloaded htc-msm-linux @ 20110809_080420 (the latest kernel atm) and it works like a charm now.

Finally! I'm so happy right now! Thanks guys! :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] vyis:
The most functional build ever tried. For 2 days i only notice 3 issue.

1. The battery level is jumping around, with deviation up to 20%

2. Google pinyin is not working

3. Wake up from lock screen. When the phone is not plug to power, pushing the power button will wake the phone up but without any backlight. The UI should have been draw since a touch around unlock key/silent key immediately wake the phone.

Using latest roof and 1342 kernel.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
#1 - yea, that's a known issue. Not sure how to fix it.

#2 - What is this? Has it worked before?

#3 - This is also a known issue, and you've gotten the solution - touch the screen where the unlock is.

There was a kind gentleman who *partially* resolved this for RHOD. I say partially because it still happens, just not very frequently. At any rate, I'm not sure if this only applied to RHOD or if it should have applied to all devices. If it was a RHOD-only patch, I'll try to see about getting it for other devices as well ;).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] vyis:
Google pinyin is chinese input method that bundle together with the ROM, which is display as "谷歌拼音输入法". Switching to this input the keyboard just won't pop-up (i even download and reinstall from market)

The screen unlock solution, think i will try it out and see. Mind send me a link to the thread? Browsing on android is such a pleasurable experience compare to winmo, i'm now consider stick to this build a little longer.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
Can you get me some logs of Pinyin failing? Not sure what to do about it, but I can try to help. rpierce99's GetLogs app makes this very easy. It's in AndroidApps\Other.

As for the screen unlock solution, there's no thread. It's in the autobuild kernel, I just need to see if the 'fix' only applies to RHOD or not...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] vyis:
hmm, kinda confuse about how to use it. So i just start Getlogs, do a google search, change the input method, and do a pasteBin! ...... after a long wait (( process.Getlog stop unexpectedly.

i have take a look at running service, that google pinyin just keep restarting. take a look at the app, it's just 134KB, guess it's just a dummy:confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
Hrm... not sure. I'll definitely need some logs to see what's up.

But you have the process backwards it seems. Do a Google search, change the input method, then open GetLogs and run. If pastebinning directly doesn't work, just pull them to your SD card.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] vyis:
hmm, i do it again and the same error pop up, process com.Getlog stop unexpectedly. But never mind i can always get others input method from market. Now keep restarting phone to figure out why sometimes wifi just can't detect any network and stuck at scanning.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] uberto.costanzo:
Hello Arrggh,

I want you 2 questions, the radio (4.49.25.17) as windows mobile is important for Android? Or Android use his signal? Then, rotate the screen is very fast at the beginning after is slower then even the ram free (105mb whit taskill) why? there is a solution to change the sensor setting?

Thanks for your help

hello

google translator
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yes, of course the radio firmware effects Android... the radio is the radio, whether you're in Android or WinMo.

As for rotating the screen, RAM usage is definitely an issue. Android is a RAM-hungry OS, and our devices do not have much to go around.

Have you enabled swap or compcache? These things kinda help. They only are a band-aid tho.

I've always wondered what tweaking the stuff in init.rc would do. I need to take the time and try that some day - there's metrics in there that determine how Android handles memory and open applications - it can be dangerous mucking with these values, so don't go romping through there.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] uberto.costanzo:
thanks for speed reply

i know that android no use more ram less winmo isn't it

thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Scheper:
I've used the latest kernel (09-08 I think). It runs smoothly! I'm glad the anoying led light is finaly off, haha!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
lol... sure.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] vyis:
Wow,thanks for the info. Downloading ...

By the way did anyone else encounter wifi issue where sometimes the wifi just stuck at scanning? I have to delete all registered network and do a reset to get it working.

edit: The LED light still on ..... wifi stuck at scaning, 0908 version.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] uberto.costanzo:
only with winmo wifi on?

thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] vyis:
For me wifi work with 1342 version given at the first page.

The latest kernel from autobuild doesn't work for me.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Scheper:
After using this version some more I noticed something which is a bit awkward. When calling, the screen goes off, so I have to press the power button to "unlock" the device (but first sliding the lock). Then pressing the "red" key (hang up) the call goes into the background... very anoying :P

Also GPRS seems to be very slow, I don't have the same slow speed in WinMo (WinMo is faster), but it's stable though (but not fast enough for skype). And yes, I have a full reception.

Camera is working, but extremely slow, but nevertheless, its working!

When charging the battery, the phone doesn't charge beyond 85% (maybe my battery isn't as good as it used to be?)

Sometimes it takes about 5 - 10 minutes before I have a provider signal (GPRS issue?)

Also, the ts-calibration file was a bit of, with some trial and error, I managed to make a more accurate one. I have this:

158,918,847,911,488,563,169,197,845,198

When using an application like Skype, the phone get's extremely slow, but hey, can't blame android I guess...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
I would agree, this situation you describe is annoying. The alternative was not having a home key at all, at least not one you could long press. So this is the new solution...

The Market is kinda slow, I found updating it helps. See Starfox's post on updating the Market...

Hah... I found it has its good days and bad days. I had one day where it snapped pics so fast, it felt like an actual camera. I was in shock, it's certainly not everytime the camera performs well.

Between the battery not being as good as it used to be, and Android's battery driver being so poor (in reality you need to calibrate every battery...) it will do strange things. I'm sure if you leave it, it'll eventually be full....

Could be? Make sure you're on the newest radio firmware. Also make sure you have the newest components (kernel, rootfs).

Every phone is different slightly. I provided a "generic" calibration file. Everyone can certainly create their own calibration, that works best for their phone ;). (Devs are actually talking about using values from SPL to calibrate screen, I implemented it poorly but it worked well :p)

Skype probably won't work. VoIP calling requires some pretty beefy specs, and our TP2 isn't up to the task. Perhaps if the TP2 was designed to run Android... look at the G1 if you want a phone to compare to.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Scheper:
It never got beyond 87%. But I can live with that. The one and only thing I can't live with is the battery life. I just called my girlfriend with a battery of about 70%. After 10-15 minutes I had to charge my phone again, I got a warning that my battery level was less than 15%. This is also the only reason I had to switch back to WinMo. WinMo sucks! But at least I can phone people longer than 15 minutes ;)

I used the latest Kernel and rootfs. Only after a couple of reboots did I experience this problem though. After the first couple of reboots my provider was found in no time.

Well, it did work, kind of.... Not very fast, but it did work. Although it seems the connection speed was to slow to actually have a decent conversation.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
Well, the battery meter isn't so accurate per se. If you left the phone after the conversation, I bet the battery meter would actually climb back up (without it being plugged in).

Your battery perhaps is much worse than mine as well - I've had several conversations 15+ minutes in one day, and my battery is still going strong. Obviously WinMo sips batteries at a much slower pace, but still.... I'm able to use it all day no problem. I also charge to 100%... I'd say your battery is definitely on its way out. Or is at least in desperate need of calibration! I wish jonpry's SCBS tool (for battery calibration) was released to other devices. It only works on RHOD, and was never officially implemented for it...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] vyis:
Actually I get only around 300kbps across wifi, and less than 1Mbps across 3G, while a lots more faster when using winmo
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] doomiris:
will you make an option to disable the notification LED? I know it's either green or red:D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
You mean disable it so even Android doesn't provide notifications...? I doubt that... I think most people (who want it changed) just want Android to control the LED, not the sleep/wake states.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] ddelella:
Latest Build

I am using the 9/8 build on my Topaz (HTC Pure) and there are two major issue I notice. First, the battery is sparadic at best. I got one warning saying 13% or less left and then 2 minutes later I got one saying 15% or less. It seems to drain fast and I need to constantly keep it plugged in. This could be that Froyo is terrible at managing application and keeps so much running it kills the battery life. Second, the AGPS doesn't seem to ever find any satellites. I was able to find them in the Windows OS after a minute or two but it never finds them in Android.

Has there been any updates on a release for Gingerbread? There was a post back in December saying that work had begun but no updates since. I know Gingerbread fixes many speed issues, battery issues, and application management.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] bazookadude:
how long does it take to start up this build?.

no matter what i do, somehow xdandroid will not boot.

i used newest kernel no luck.

i see the list of txt scolling and then it stops.

i read the following lines:

failed to mount SD card. cannot continue

/bin/sh can't acces tty job control turned off
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] ddelella:
Another Issue

Major issue...the camera took a picture but then locked up. I went to lock mode and came back now it says "Cannot Connect to Camera".

To bazookadude, you may be stuck on the calibration screen. You can't see the square you need to touch but it actually waits for you to touch the screen in a few places. I recommend downloading the tscalibration file from the first page and including that in the root. This calibration is very accurate. After the first boot it loads in about 2-5 seconds.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
The last GingerBread build was released on March 25th. Well after December... There's a lot of work to get all the patches from FroYo up to GB. There will be another build, but don't ask when.

As for the battery, yes the battery meter is off and yes the drain is great. You can mitigate this by a) making sure the phone is sleeping properly and b) checkout my speed thread. Some of the tips actually help save the battery, like DroidWall and the pm disable stuffs.

Failed to mount SD card... Did you do a full format with the HP Tool? Did you do the ts-calibration step as mentioned above?

Never had that issue with the cam, but the cam code isn't so easily debugged right now. Try restarting the phone, if that fails try a new data.img.

As for the phone booting in 2-5 seconds, that's not even close to true... First boot can take up to 10 minutes. I think subsequent boots are 2-3 minutes... I mean after you click HaRET.exe, until the Android UI is shown and you can see the lock screen from Android.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] vyis:
Turning off the battery light seems to help issue regard phone wake up.

Now my screen light up without the need to touch around unlock area. (Although it's quite annoying to see my phone charging all the time, but still I think its better than notification led keep consuming my poor battery life)

Using 1342 kernel.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] mweirauch:
Oh?! Disabling sleep debug led resolves the tap-to-wake-the-panel issue? Then this is another proof of microp i2c writes having to be laid off to work queues, even in suspend/resume PM hooks. Will test this out on .35 then.
