I don't mind help, but don't put down what many have worked so hard on. It's really quite rude, and I'm sorry if I got offended but I did.

That's nice that you feel some other build is faster. I honestly don't see why I should care? His code is our code - he takes from our git repo. It is clearly stated in his topic.

Perhaps there's some optimizations that can be done better for Blackstone. Truth be told we've never had anyone with a Blackstone push any code to us. I even took g3rm0's keymaps and committed them myself so you folks would have a proper keylayout - which obviously I forgot to put in the startup.txt for Blackstones - here's something you pointed out that I can easily fix.

Other things you have pointed out are simple and in the FAQ. It does bother me when people start out with testing stuff, and don't bother to read the stable threads. If you had taken the time to look at the FRX07.1 thread, it is much more robust. This thread assumes you know the basics there - and perhaps I should make this thread more robust, but this is for testing. It assumes you have some experience...(which is also stated in the first post of this thread...) See what I mean?

Perhaps I was a little off base, but you can also partially understand where I'm coming from, no? Again, use what works best for you. If you want to help improve my build, please do. But don't put it down in the process... Thanks. That was the main reason for my apprehension, and the lack of understanding about simple things that apply to XDAndroid! Thanks again!
[Touch HD Android Development] krzych:
I do, really do want to improve your build. It's nice and clean.

And sorry again for "jumping in the middle" of the testing, but I really never knew about FRX or any other part of XDAndroid. Google directed me directly here and it was not the first link. Maybe there's something with indexing, or maybe I searched badly (tried to find THD gingerbread - so maybe that's why never found out about Froyo, and it is not quite obvious that I shoudl read about Froyo when I want Gingerbread).

Tell me what to test on THD, and I will. I would like this build to be as stable and as fast as others, because then, it will have the advantage of being clean and nice.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Perhaps that's the problem.

Instead of using Google, just look at the TouchHD Android Development section. Poke around some of the threads, and use the xda site search - it's really quite good (especially if you know what to search for, as any search engine :p).

But the FroYo build is there, and I suggest you at least read thru the thread, and perhaps even run it to compare.

This build is still in testing, obviously, and I do like feedback - but yours was simply overwhelming. I really only want to know about regressions, and really anything silly that's missed from FroYo. We've made a lot of changes since FRX07.1, and we want to make sure all devices are up to snuff.

Re: Speed. There's lots of things you can do, and I tried to document all of them in my speed improvements thread. That is build-agnostic - as in, I don't care what build you're running, these improvements should apply globally.

Also, if you feel the dedicated partitions are a hindrance I wouldn't mind playing with this with someone else. I personally tried dedicated partitions (not on this build, on FRX07.1) and it was actually slower. Perhaps I did something silly with how I formatted/partitioned... block sizes or something I guess could've caused this... but honestly I didn't see any benefit to dedicated partitions - they are a pain to setup, and confuse new users. Especially if they only use Windows... So even if we do start supporting partitions, it will certainly be the 'second' option. I don't know if we will officially support it ever, just because it is such a pain to support!!

I look forward to hearing back from you after you've had a chance to read and process everything. I do think you'll make a good tester - you were just underinformed... which honestly is partially my fault (the first post is intentionally scant, to scare away anyone who isn't knowledgeable...), but mostly yours ;).
[Touch HD Android Development] AcidBurns:
okay, i got smth strange...

no matter which kernel i use: the clock is a little bit behind, about 30 min per day.

checking the "get the time from network" box doesn't have any effect.

can you implement a timesync every 2 hours?

thanks!

Could anyone try http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27345952/2.6.27/2.6.27.46_EXT3-01389-gaa4d0d5.7z

to check if the audio skipping/stuttering problem is solved?

[Touch HD Android Development] mom4ence:
No sound , how i can fixed?
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Follow the directions in the first post?
[Touch HD Android Development] mrbennett:
Any updates? RIP Xdandroid.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
RIP?

Nothing tangible. No devs for BLAC either, as I've stated 1,000x.

Patches welcome, haven't seen any (that are actually useful, lol).
[Touch HD Android Development] mrbennett:
I know you don't like tiad8 or neopeek but i myself have learned more over there then here. This thread and all the other legacy thread's are dead, tiad8 and neopeek are doing wonders. I have been using tiadgb2.3.7 for over a month with no re boots or fc's of any kind. Speed and smoothness are just like my htc sensation. Before you blow your top xdandroid are a great team and without them the other forums would have nothing. Please forgive me for previous posts which should not have been posted. Xdandriod is a fun project please keep up the good work.
[Touch HD Android Development] AcidBurns:
tiad8 version is not so good... ran it before using xdadroid again.

you can clearly tell the difference between a coordinated team (xdadroid) and some passionated android lovers (tiadroid).

but anyway: is there any possibility to use usb tethering with xdadroid?

(i know there are tons of wifi router programs, but usb tethering would be more conventient for me)

besides that no reproducible errors or flaws found, running it for about 2 month now. even navigation is running good.

the only thing one could do is integrate gps status (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2), this app downloads the helper data and gets a gps fix really fast.

thanks for help,

acid
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
I don't think I'll integrate GPS Status - but it is good software. It won't actually help with fixes until we get all the XTRA stuff sorted, but it is still nice to use.

USB tethering works great, but there's an issue on .27 kernels and GB - it doesn't recognize that the cable is plugged in! No one has bothered looking into it unfortunately. I wish I had better options for you, but FRX07.1 USB tether should work fine...
[Touch HD Android Development] David.one:
Hello

After having tested: FRX07.1_Full_Bundle_20110901 on my HD, I decided to test this version: GBX0B_Full_Bundle_2011.12.30

But I encounter a bug on the keyboard display.

The keyboard does not appear, I can see just a small bar at the bottom of the screen when I enter text (a small bar that is one end of the keyboard) as a result I can not do data entry.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Well it might be difficult, perhaps you can get the APK on the internet and put it in AndroidApps - but there's an app called "Hacker Keyboard" that allows you to resize the keyboard.

Otherwise there might be some build.prop change to be made around the screen resolution...? I'm not sure, without breaking other devices.
[Touch HD Android Development] David.one:
thank you for your reply

I bypassed the problem by installing another keyboard "SlideIT"

it works perfectly,

another note I find this version much more stable since

no crash this morning

congratulation
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yup, most of the aftermarket keyboards will work as well. Enjoy!
[Touch HD Android Development] AcidBurns:

[Touch HD Android Development] lazyandhrite:
hi,

could you please explain how do you install third party keyboard.

i tried copying apk to andriod apps - it doesnt pick it up.

Dont have market app as well listed in the applications.

Please help.

thanks
[Touch HD Android Development] David.one:
I noticed that he had to have a clean install for programs to be included in Android

So the installation again from the beginning "SD formatting or deleting all files and folders that run Android"

Re settled with the appropriate applications and after choosing the keyboard "X" in the software options

Sorry for my English, I go through a translator.
[Touch HD Android Development] lazyandhrite:
Hey - finally did it my self.

needed the keyboard to enter my WIFI password to start with.

I have sent an sms with the password for wifi and then to sign to google.

Then downloaded a keyboard from android market , its good and stable.

can anyone tell me how to get the front cam working ... want to use skype..

thanks.
[Touch HD Android Development] king40:
hi

Your work is great

this is fast

everything work

just in music player no sound

and keyboard not working

and not support arabic or persian language

And Alllllllll is goooooooood :)

thanks
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
It doesn't work, sorry.
[Touch HD Android Development] king40:
hi arrrghhh

how i can fix audio problem???:)

thanks
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Audio problem?

I assume you mean the stutter during media playback...

Fix the issue with the battery code. If you kill the [battery] process, the stutter goes away... so something in there is polling too frequently, or otherwise choking the device causing the stutter.

I don't think anyone knows the real issue, otherwise they would've fixed it! lol.
[Touch HD Android Development] mrbennett:
Midnights kernel ext3 has no stuttering :D
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yes, because he disabled battery polling... derp.

That's not a fix... it's not even a workaround really.
[Touch HD Android Development] mrbennett:
Works for me. OK not perfect but haho, legacy devices for me is just for fun. ;)
[Touch HD Android Development] king40:
but why i havnt audio

in rington or play music:confused:
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
What the heck are you talking about?

Somehow I get the feeling you didn't follow the pre-install steps. Please re-read the first post, and tread lightly in TESTING threads. They're meant for developers and testers to report bugs, not to be run daily by users that can't report problems properly.
[Touch HD Android Development] king40:
ooooooooook

:D thanks
[Touch HD Android Development] achkap:
i was stuck at the same point. the reason to that is -i think- that i had partitions. once i deleteed them the phone booted normally...

testing for 1 day now.

1. bt doesn t transfer files. i tried with two other android phones and i couldn t transfer them.

2. wifi signal is very weak. longer than 2 meters and it loses signal

3i can t change keyboard. there is no option to choose keyboard so i installed a therd party keyboard and i couldn t select it. so i uninstalled the others to select this one.

4. i have random freezes. and i have to remove the battery. 5 times through the first day. all of them was the time i was using the japanese keyboard.

5. sound works as ringtone and when selecting things. i haven t tried media files yet. in time...

6. so far the build is pretty slow. i hope for an update to speed things up

but the best effort so far. welldone to the devs because it is a very serious work...
[Touch HD Android Development] mrbennett:
This project seems very idle over here. Is this project still being worked on for an actual release or is the beta version the best it will get?. There seems to be lots of version of the gb base, but my opinion is midnights bundle works the best for me based on ext3. As a second devise it really is usable for everyday use.:D

HTC Blackstone.
[Touch HD Android Development] mrbennett:
no reply ehh. Seems the statement is correct. Shame. :(

HTC Sensation
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Patches are always welcome.

Not sure what type of response you were expecting - there's never been, and unfortunately there probably never will be a real dev for Blackstone.

If you have a Sensation, I'm not sure what your concern is. This is a very old device.
[Touch HD Android Development] Halsahaf:
Hi, now when i open haret apears a top keybord on my scrren and never close...

Any ideas how to close it?
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
You have edited your startup.txt.

Do not edit your startup.txt without knowing what it does. Please paste your startup.txt, there's a msmvb setting for the virtual keyboard.
[Touch HD Android Development] David.one:
Hi

@arrrghhh

(or where you run haret.exe from. If you want to change the location of the build, put a rel_path= statement in the cmdline section of the startup.txt. Mine is located two folders deep on the SD, so my rel_path=Androids/TP2Ref)

I would like to install in a folder (Androids)

Can you write me the line that must be added in startup TXT

My path is:

Map Stocage / Androids

thank you
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
rel_path=

Put it in the startup.txt, cmdline section. Between the quotes, all on one line. Make sure there's at least one space between each command.

If you have trouble, paste your startup.txt and I'll fix it.
[Touch HD Android Development] David.one:
Thank you, it works ;)
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Either make one, or STFU. Eternally posting this doesn't help anyone. Really getting tired of seeing this exact same post from you over and over and over...

About the total commander... do I need to install on the pc, blackstone, or both?

[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Have you tried YouTube from a browser? I assume it's the app that doesn't even open? Does it force close? Do you have any logs?

Default keyboard doesn't work - for Blackstone only. Please read the caveat list.

Market is slow? lol. OK?
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
Yes, the youtube force close, but I got a bigger problem: I've set launcherPRO to be set on boot, and it's force closing when the phone boots!

So, I'll have to reinstall the build! I'll keep on testing, not a big deal...

But good news, I can tell you the sound is really great, it's rare if it "buffers"
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
I'm not sure what issues you're having with LP - I used to use it all the time, but haven't in a while - so perhaps something changed?

Maybe stay away from LP, use some other launchers. I don't know if they've updated their app, or if there's something funky with your phone/card... but like I said, I used LP all the time about a year or so ago when I found ADW :p.

Logs will help sort out whatever is going on. Probably a ton of apps fighting eachother, but who knows.
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
well...ok:D I was using LauncherPRO because of the speed and the smoothness, but I'll give a try to ZEAM , which is also fast...

Sorry for being noob, but what do you mean with logs:confused:

oh, and there's a app on the androidapps file, which is xda regime. I think it's for the led effects, but I can't be sure because it has a small resolution, I can't even read the letters... But no problem for me, because I have a case that covers the led... Thanks for the help:)
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Don't know if XdaLEDRegime works on BLAC. I think it's just RHOD.

Also, read the FAQ please. There's an entire topic on logs.
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
okay, sorry for not reading the FAQ... as usual I skip that part...

OH, just remembered... If you press the power button for some time, it will go to the shutdown menu, but there's something there that is called "kewec" or "kebec" ( now I can't be sure) what is that?
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
kexec. Don't worry about it, your device's kernels don't support it.

It's used for swapping kernels w/o having to completely reset the system. Google it, tis a Linux thing. But like I said, .27 doesn't have kexec support, so you can't use it anyways. It's for the .39+ kernels. Not much changing in .27 nowadays anyways.
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
oh ok. Just reinstalled the build. Let's see how it goes ;)

U guys really know a lot :D

Oh, something that happened just today: market actualized to Play!:p
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
bluetooth

I didn't even try this it with another phone, but when you turn it on, it will automatically turn off, so it shouldn't work, I guess.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Well then you either a) had it on in WinMo before booting Android or b) have an app bashing heads with it like Pandora.

I don't know if BT will ever be stable, but from what I gather it doesn't work so great in WinMo either, so our BT chips could just be crap. Thank you Broadcom & HTC...
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
NOw that I think... You got that right :D

This phone was expensive, that's a shame...

---------- Post added at 07:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 PM ----------

I made a call and I was able to talk at the first try, so no need to make the "first call", which happens in other builds.

About youtube, it worked in the browser, but same problem as FRX07.1, only sound, no video and even if I close the app, it still plays the sound in the background...

I formatted my SD card with the windows default tool and trough USB, maybe the problem is there?

My sd card port on the PC is broken... but I can ask other people to format it on their PC´s:o

And my blackstone fainted :p

It's corrupted, not even a single application works!

I'lll just reinstall...
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Perhaps your SD card is bad? The fact that you have so much "corruption" is disturbing. Are you rebooting or pulling the battery? Are you rebooting frequently? I left my phone up and running for weeks on end, I don't know what to tell you...

Android could just be abysmal on Blackstone because we haven't had a single dev with one in a very long time. Not many have contributed either, so it is difficult to support. RAPH is not in a very good state either, unfortunately. Would be nice to wind projects down with 100% functional stuff across all devices, but I doubt that's going to happen... TP2 is getting quite close tho, perhaps you should just buy one of those :p.
[Touch HD Android Development] mfsr98:
I reboot a lot of times...

Lol, I won't buy a wm to make it android :p (only if really cheap :D)

Will see used phones in my country xD

Lol htc touch hd 80€ xD

Hi,

It seems good testing build.

I'm new to XDAndroid ROMs on my HTC HD ( Blackstone ).

Is it stable build to depend on?

or use FRX07.1 until the testing one get modified to better?

And arabic keyboard to write SMS?

and what about Arabic support to read Arabic web pages or SMS, or even as main language for the whale system?
