I installed a new extract of FRX07, the new ril and latest kernel,

and my DIAM500 works a treat right now.

Now, I don't have service on this phone anymore, so I can't test CDMA data/voice, but I am using wifi and so far the phone is very responsive. I'll continue to test and report back but from my perspective, its performing great.

Thanks both to hyc and argh! Great work!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] jb789:
I think you're just impatient, it's not stuck. The first boot takes forever, at least 5 minutes, maybe 10, and that xdandroid boot animation will repeat about a zillion times.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Indeed. If it's more than 10 minutes at the boot animation, something's wrong. Perhaps try a new data.img?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] sabrosolatino:
Good for you Bluenote73!!!!

Hello Bluenote73,

Can I ask you a favor???

Could you please share with us the combination of "RootFS, Kernels files and FIXs" you are using that get a good perfomance in your HTC Diam500 CDMA Sprint in the Latest XDANDROID CDMA Diamond's Thread??
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] bluenote73:
I don't want to contribute to more confusion about where to get good and up to date information sabrosolatino. [ie: this is the place] I described exactly what I did, starting with the FRX07 package put out by aarrrgh so you are welcome to test that. If you aren't getting the same results I'd suggest starting from scratch...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] sabrosolatino:
FYI

WOW!!! peace man, you don't need to be rude or too dense!!! :(

FYI this is the Touch Pro Forum, Mister.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] bluenote73:
Wow you're even more of an idiot than you sound.

1) That post wasn't rude.

2) There's no android forum, nor any official xdandroid threads for

the diamond. The diamond forums are also dead.

3) The touch pro is basically the same as the diamond

4) There IS an android forum, and an official xdandroid thread here.

Apparently you feel the better place is Touch diamond CDMA forum.

Except you're such a freaking idiot that you spew horrible illegible advice

in there, and there's no one other than you and newbs posting in there,

creating disinformation and confusion. Just like http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1092393 that.

I can't believe I didn't look at that forum and immediately start hanging out in there!

Dumbass.

Please feel free to PM me instead of cluttering the board with more of your multicoloured idiotic ramblings if you have more to say.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Alright guys, settle down.

sabrosolatino - I agree with bluenote in that we should keep the troubleshooting here. There is no "Android" section for DIAM, so it all just ends up jumbled in the general section. I titled my post to reflect the fix does indeed effect (affect?) RAPH/DIAM alike, so whatever issues the RAPH folk have, should be the same for DIAM folk.

Are you still having issues with the setup I've outlined in the first post of this thread? I only have a RAPH800 to test with, that does not have service. Voice works fine, but I haven't been able to test data - is that your problem? I read some people having issues with data, but I really need you guys with service on the device to step up to the plate and start troubleshooting the data issues. I did what I could to get hyc logs to fix the issue, and hyc did a great job of fixing. Now someone else will need to do what I did and work with the devs, providing logs of issues. I can be a liaison as I always have been, just let me know.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Squirrels:
what kinda logs are you looking for. point me in the direction. I currently have tried resetting APN to defaults and manually entering US Cellular's APN info without success on getting data working.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
USSC... ugh. Don't they require a proxy to connect to the 'net?

Either way, the GetLogs app makes it really easy. It's in AndroidApps/Other. Grab all three, although I'll probably only need radio logcat and regular logcat.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Squirrels:
not afaik, ive always had the APN i used to use with proxy blank and i dont set proxy field in winmo either. I'll get those apps installed and get you some results. Other than the data, the sound issues that I have always had are still present (no sound unless i make a call and then boot android). I'll post as much detail as i can.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Bushrod:
I only did System and Radio, but here's my GetLog output.

It's strange. I had everything working last night and this morning. Then I drove to work and it wouldn't wake up. Now I get no radio at all.

I used the FRX06 with the FRX07 system.ext2, the 0805 kernel and the RIL fix. I really thought I was onto something.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Squirrels:
funny story, today it decided to boot with sound without interaction, didnt work yesterday. either way, installed sdk and such on work computer. Will get around to installing the getlog apk later once i grab a usb cable.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Uhm... sound issues? We're dealing with an updated RIL here, what does that have to do with sound?

I certainly don't have that issue on my tester RAPH800, if you have such issues let's find the appropriate place to report them...

I would not recommend mixing & matching. Please use FRX07 with the additional stuff listed in the first post of this thread. Might as well update your rootfs to the newest as well.

That's the beauty of GetLogs - you don't need a USB cable, the SDK, any of it. Just run the app, and you can either put logs onto the SD card or upload 'em directly to pastebin. Obviously you'll need some sort of network cxn on the phone to upload directly to pastebin. The SD card option, you can just put the logs on the SD, then reboot to WinMo and pull the logs off just as you would update Android. SD card reader, USB cable to phone, pick your poison.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Squirrels:
hmm ive always just used adb to install apks, im rebooting into winmo to put the apk in the root of the AndroidApps folder. (Ref: http://xdandroid.com/wiki/FAQ#What_is_an_APK_.2F_How_to_install_apps.2Fprograms)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
You can use adb to install APK's, but it's certainly not required... as you can see from that FAQ link :p.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Squirrels:
Yeah i have it installed now and the log generated. I'll scour the workplace for a mini-usb cable but i'll probably have to dig in my truck for one so i can upload it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] ferarij:
Thanks arrrghhh,my DIAM500 works well, except data.Here is my log.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Squirrels:
Logs as requested.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Bushrod:
Got it. FRX07, kernel 0805, RIL fix and rootfs from 7/27. Correct?

Radio works, but data doesn't.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Thanks guys. Definitely seeing data-related failures. Going to pass these onto hyc, hopefully he'll know what to fix ;).

Bushrod - just saw yours. Sounds like you've got the right stuff, I'll pass these on as well!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Squirrels:
posted another data.zip with me poking the bear a little bit more, also reset my apn to default with this one, just in case wrong apn info makes additional errors that are not relevant.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] sabrosolatino:
Sorry it was a misunderstand.

Thanks Arrrghhh,

I'm still having a lot of RANDOM result in every bootup process,

and in the performance of the Diam500.

I will keep an eyes in future news.

but I guess the developers are doing what they can.

Thanks Arrrghhh again.

Arrghh I beg your pardon, but if you read again my post you can notice "I ask politely to share with the comunity his combination" as I can't reproduce his same result. I definitely don't ask to "translate all the fixes thread" for that thread. and Sorry If I disagree with the "dead thread" preposition,

because even this last days people had find and use it, including the OP and the same HYC has been really kind to keep us update/correct.

Anyway, I will still appreciate and respects the opinion of any person (without insults)

P.S: don't worry Arrrghh, about bluenote73 comments I have enough education level to not respond that sort of comments. I only regreat my thank's point I gave to him.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Well, I don't check that forum frequently. So if you want a quick response from me, you'll have to post in the Android dev sections...

Either way, there's no need for anyone to get upset. You don't need to put him down, and he shouldn't have put you down. I can see where he's coming from, and I share his frustration however.

At any rate, it seems you're in the minority. For anyone to truly solve your issues, you're going to have to be more consistent in your reports, and logs will be necessary. Nothing gets fixed without a log of the issue :p (generally).
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] jb789:
My data in Android doesn't work either. Unfortunately, it only occasionally works in WinMo, partly because I've got an Alltel phone on a Verizon MVNO & can't get it to provision properly (trust me, I've tried!). So, I don't think my data logs would be useful, but many thanks to those who uploaded theirs.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Data used to work in Android on the old RIL - it was basically using a 'fake GSM' mode, by which some miracle our CDMA phones actually worked.

Now we have a true CDMA mode - but there was literally no code for CDMA. hyc built that from the ground up, but unfortunately during his RIL testing, no one with a CDMA RAPH/DIAM participated in the testing... so now we're in this predicament.

Thanks indeed to all those who submitted logs - I haven't spoken to hyc today yet, but I will keep you guys posted!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] bluenote73:
Sabroso, I'm pretty sure re-doing your packages will help you.

For example, forgetting to edit (or improperly) edit the froyo conf

might be one way to get the results you are describing.

Just for the record here's what I'm using

FRX07 package from aarrrgh's thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1171070

(I deleted my whole andboot dir and started from scratch, by the way)

Then I updated the kernel to 20110805 with link from the first post in this thread. Here's the link to package -> http://zimages.googlecode.com/files/htc-msm-linux-20110805_223228-package.tar.bz2

Then added the new RIL from arrghs first post in this thread, put it in the ROOT of SD card,

copied froyo.user.conf to correct place. Which is all a way of saying follow the first post in thread [arrrgh's instructions] really carefully.

I think that's it.

Its great to see so many CDMA'ers and so much testing going on here!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] sabrosolatino:
getlog

Ok, clear as water.

I will install that "getlog" app this night AND learn how to use it and report back.

Thanks Arrrghh!!!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] sabrosolatino:
New Kernel Aug/9/2011 is good too!!!

Ok, so I download the new Kernel August 9th 2011 and I followed the suggestions,

so redownload everything (replace and erase old files) so I'm now with a totally clean install and this time everything was good,

I had Reboot like 5 times and everything is working normal now, no FC, no SOD, no laggy or not responding or unlockable.

I guess I mess or mix one file, maybe could be the froyo.user.conf so the FIXED was not been applying indeed.

Now device seem to be quite normal, but can't test data 1x/3x cdma.

Thanks again for the FIXED and all the time everyone has invert in this proyect.

I will do the "getlog" tomorrow now need to sleep a little bit.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Well I'm glad you got it working.

As for data, no one has been able to use data yet... Unfortunately hyc looked at some logs and determined he's going to have to rewrite the RIL for this older radio versions that your phones run (lots of commands are not supported, so he needs to put a lot of old stuff back in that he removed..)

So perhaps the solution for you guys will be to use the old RIL in the meantime. I'll try to make this work, even if it is possible. Lots of stuff was changed to get the new RIL integrated, so it might not be possible at all.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] jb789:
I googled for a bit & couldn't understand how to "use the old RIL". Does it require building & packaging a custom rootfs? If so, that's way over my pointy little noob head! :eek:
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yea, don't bother Googling it. Not exactly 'standard practice'.

I'm not even sure if I'll be able to get it to work. If I can, I'll pass on the info.

In the meantime, if you guys are dying without data - FRX06 should still work fine :p.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Hippy43:
arrrghhh,

I'm really new to this kind of stuff but I "think" I followed everthing from your first post. At least now I get to the desktop BUT it now won't let me do anything and within a few secs, the screen goes dark (like auto dark time out). I can hit the top button and bring it back to life but still no user interaction. I can't tap/click on anything. Any thoughts on where I'm going wrong?

It's getting closer and loads really fast but it would be nice if I could get it to work. <LOL>

Thanks in advance for all the hard work you and others have put into this. It might bring new life to my old TP. :-)

Update:

After re-copying the correct startup file (RAPH800) to the root of my SD card, now at least when I touch the screen it buzzes, still no interaction, before the screen goes dark.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
You sure you have a good ts-calibration file? Have you tried creating a new one manually? I have a RAPH800 to test with, and it works freakin great. It doesn't have service, so data will never work... but from what I've gleaned it won't work for you guys anyways. Not until the RIL is rewritten for your old radios...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Hippy43:
I tried moving the ts-calibration out of the root of the SD and it appeared to give me the touch points to calibrate, sort of, during bootup (script was still running behind the white blocks).

Are you saying that this version of Fryo will result in an unusable phone? From what I think I've been reading here and over at PPCGeeks, I thought this version was a working Android for the TP. Did I read wrong? Is there an actual working version for a RAPH800?

Thanks again for all you hard work!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
I'm confused by your post.

There's no RAPH800-specific version. We build one version to rule them all, and it doesn't always work out so well. There's kinks that need to be ironed out, and we usually manage to iron them out for the next build - just in time for a new set of wrinkles :p.

FRX07 (as the bundle is packaged) does not play nice with CDMA RAPH/DIAM's. Hence, this thread. FRX06 will probably work better, because we didn't really have any users with your device (or even similar devices) test FRX07 before release. C'est la vie.

Did you follow the steps in order to manually calibrate? It's in the first post of all my threads. There's a very specific process you have to go thru in order to manually calibrate.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Bushrod:
I just have to add that I get really excited when I see "View First Unread" on the top of this thread!

Thanks, arrrghhh, for all of your work on this!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Hippy43:
Guess I missed the part about this not "being tested on an 800". I've been reading back and forth from this thread and on the 07 thread over at PPC Geeks. I thought the 07 version was now working on the RAPH800.

As by my meaning of a RAPH800 version, I just meant that I was using the RAPH800 setup file.

Funny thing, I just deleted the ts file, again, got it to calibrate, rebooted the phone, yet again, and now it appears to be loading and the interface is usable. I haven't tried anything else yet. Trying to work and play at the same time and monitor this thread. <LOL>

If it all fails to operate as expected and from what I think you are saying, I'll D/L the 06 version later or tonight and see what happens.

This is interesting and frustrating all at the same time.. I'm very intregued. <LOL>

Thanks! I'll be looking for future updates on this and hopefully have a fully functional TP running XDAndroid soon. :-)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yea, it can be maddening at times.

Have you never used XDAndroid on your RAPH800 before FRX07? If that's the case, I would definitely try 06. I'm trying to work out the bugs in 07, but since no one tested really at all on these older devices, and the length between 06&07... quite a lot changed, and for better or worse the device kinda got left behind with the initial 07 release. I'm doing my damnedest to get it workin for your phones... but it's not easy.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Hippy43:
Yup, first try with XDAndroid. TOTAL newb. <LOL> Still playing with 07 but going to D/L 06 as soon as I can find the thread again..

Funny, I've tried the manual calibration3 or 4 times (delete the ts file, reboot the TP, look for the boxes) and this last time it appears to have taken correctly AND it's not blanking out the screen every 2 - 5 seconds! NOW I've got to find the set time screen and I'll play awhile before dumping 07 and going to 06...

It's for sure something to play with on a slow day. <LOL>

Thanks man!

BTW, can you direct me to the 06 package? I went to the last thread for it and it appears to have been removed and redirected to here. :-((

Thanks again.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Sounds good.

Just keep in mind - if you do get a functioning 07, data will never work. It does work, however, on 06... Hence the reason I recommend it until the data on 07 issue is resolved (unfortunately it won't be anytime soon... unless someone feels like taking up hyc's work and getting your old radios to work (all the code is open source, of course). I wish I had talent in this field, but I do not!)

No need to dig up old threads, files.xdandroid.com has all you need:

http://files.xdandroid.com/FRX06_Full_Bundle_25.3.2011.zip
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Hippy43:
Again, many thanks! D/L'ing 06 right now.. I'll let you know how it works..

Seems 07 got sluggish and didn't want to let me unlock. Oh well, it's all a learning thing. Right?

Be well!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Hippy43:
Well, got 06 loaded. NOW if I can only get it calibrated.. Seems I get one box in the upper left then it seems to hang. I touch the bottom left (where I think the next box will be and it then comes with another box in the lower left, then lower right.

NOT a good calibration. :-((

Going to try again later when I can figure out how to read that tiny print..
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
lol, I seriously doubt reading the tiny print well help you at all.

Did you follow the steps for proper calibration? I believe they still apply...

Also, the 'included' calibration in my threads for RAPH don't work..? I can try to attach another if you think it'll help. I have a 800 tester here that I think had to be recalibrated. At least I did recalib in my testing of 07 :p.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Hippy43:
You're correct, it's just waiting for input but not always showing the + boxes for calibration. I did download your ts file and it's REAL close for my TP, just a hair off and to the lower left of where it should be for tapping icons. Makes it interesting trying to on screen type. I can sort of get used to that.

You are right, the 06 version is GREAT on a TP! So far everything "seems" to work, at least what I've tried so far. It's funny, even running on top of WM, it's still smoother. <LOL> Once I got everything figured out, the button actions and such, I love it! Even my keyboard even works! I'm amazed!

Question, oh great, wise one,,,, How come there isn't a screen calibration tool built into XDAndroid or am I missing it? THAT would be great.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
lol, there is a screen calibration tool build into XDAndroid - it's just during the boot process (the + boxes...?) Assuming you have a kernel that doesn't knock out the boxes, it works really well.

Oh, and FYI - Android is not running on top of WinMo. WinMo is booted completely out of memory - the only thing it does for Android is initialize some hardware (which we're getting the point where we don't even need it for that)...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Hippy43:
You know the little white boxes with the + on them that come up during first boot when you do a manual calibration. something like [+] where you tap the center of the +.

Screen re-calibration from within WM was a nice thing. It would be nice to be able to do that after XDAndroid is running. ;-)

Thank you for the explanation and educating me on how it actually operates.. AWESOME! Makes a lot more sense now..

Once again,

Thanks Man!

Appreciate ALL you help!

Can't wait to see how this progresses. I might keep my TP for a few more years now..
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yea... I'm not sure if we'll have an app to recalib or not. There was some talk of eliminating the need to calibrate and pulling the stuff from SPL. If you go in the bootloader mode (tri-color screen) you'll notice there's screen calibration values there. We would just pull those in and throw 'em into a calibration file, instead of having the user have to do it.

Perhaps someday someone will write an app - I'm not even sure how native Android devices do it. There aren't may native Android devices with resistive screens - those fancy new capacitive ones that don't work with styli don't require calibration :p.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Hippy43:
OK, you lost me at bootloader mode but I did look at the ts file and notice the strings of numbers..

Funny you mention Android developers.. One of the guys I work with is messing with android for some of our stuff.. I've GOT to remember to talk to him tomorrow.. This is too cool!

Thanks again..
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Heh, get him hooked and have him help us out :p. Devs always welcome!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Hippy43:
Have you got a different ts file than the one at the start of this thread that might better suit the RAPH800? If so, yes please. I'd like to try it. :-)

Thanks,
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Dunno, I just made my own per the steps in my FRX07 thread. It's pretty easy...

If you still can't figure it out, I'll post up another calib file tonight. Really tho, every phone is probably going to be slightly different - hence the need to calibrate in the first place. So it really would be best if you calibrated the phone yourself...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] jb789:
You can try the one I posted earlier, but like arrrghhh says, probably best to make your own.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] bluenote73:
Argh is there going to be further development work to get the CDMA data going?

You mentioned earlier that that would require a re-write of the RIL which I assume is not a very popular option ... ?
