I used the ts-calibration file from the frx07.1 build... And the touchscreen dont work. i cant unlock the display or click on "shutdown" or anythin else
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
Weird.

Try creating your own.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] serafino1:
Hi all!

Sorry if I take advantage of your time and space with my basic questions... I would like to know whether the Android package, we' re discussing here, is experiencing any major operational problems. Where can one find a concise post of its unresolved issues? How can I uninstall Android and go back to WM 6.5 in case I don't like it? If not here, any other thread I can find answers to such questions?

Thank you:)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
Well this is a testing thread. I recommend if this is your first time, start out with FRX07.1. Post your questions there if you run into issues; then once you get the hang of how it's organized, works, etc.. venture into a test build.

At any rate this doesn't effect WinMo at all. It's not flashed to the phone - the OS runs entirely off of your SD card. So simply reboot to get back to WinMo. Uninstall? Delete it from your SD card ;).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] :
I need 10 times to create a valid ts-calibration, but now it works fine :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yup, it's a pain! But as I stated in the OP of the FRX thread, once you finally get a good calibration file save it 15x! Make lots of copies of it... This way you won't have to worry about losing it or needing to go through that again. Just always reuse that file and you'll be good ;).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] :
I used the ts-calibration of my FRX07 and FRX07.1 installation, but they dont work :)

But no i make a copy
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] :
The GBXOC works fine on my topaz, but its realy slow ;) of course, that is a problem of the phone, not of the xdandroid-build..

Now i know, android is ok for me :D

Thanks a lot for the work of the delevoper-team.

Next week i'll receive my new android phone :D:D:D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] fsg4u:
Hey,

After testing since over 5 months, is there a chance for a final 0C version?

Ciao fsg
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
0C was literally just released.

Is there something wrong with this version? Please report.

Assuming everything is fine, there won't be many differences in the final version. At this point, the only thing that needs to be finalized is the CSV files so users don't have to manually copy them from the \Windows\ directory.

So you are pretty much running the final version, unless something is found that's horribly awry.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] haytham-88:
Thanks for your hard work

I have try the 0C last night and successfully work :-) nothing wrong showed up

But is it really android 2.3.7?

Because it doesn't support Arabic! !
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
:facepalm:

Android doesn't support Arabic. See this post.

Updates for this bundle.

Hello!

Can somebody tell me where can I find new kernel files?

My modules are : 2.6.27 but I wan to try new.

Regards

Mac
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] chriskoups:
Question to Developers...

What do they mean this command..? Can we take more speed by modefying them?

set ramsize 0x10000000

set ramaddr 0x10000000

set initrd_offset 0x00a00000

Where i can find a list of command for cmdline?

Regards
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
There's newer kernels, but I don't think they'll run too well on TOPA. .35 probably will, but I doubt anything past it will...

It's setup for HaRET. If you'd really like more info, see the HaRET Documentation.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] chriskoups:
arrrghhh Thanks for the page..

So... i have check the site but nothing about ramsize and ramddr..

My topaz on android has only 74MB of ram.. i have change the value of the ramsize from 256MB (0x1000000) to 288MB (0x1200000) But nothing change.. I have also try 512MB (0x2000000) for fun an it's boot but again nothing change..

As i check in the web the ram sometime setup by default in the kernel.. So can you check the kernel to see if we can find it and change it... Cheers...:good:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
That number won't magically give you more RAM...

Not sure why you thought it would.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] mazak23:
My mobile is Rhodium 100.

So can you point me where to find sources?

https://gitorious.org/linux-msm-rhod/linux-msm-rhodv

I know about it, but have no idea how to download anything.

On my current kernel 2.6.27 i have problem with bluetooth. When it is paired with stereo headphones only one route is working in time: when audio route works ( for calls) multimedia not (I cannot listing to the music). But if I choose after pairing to work only as multimedia (audio unticked) it is working fine.

And there is always trouble with connecting with headse (Nokia BH 214). I need to unpair it and pair everytime I start Android. Ofcourse all *.csv files from Windows are present (11 files, why not 10?)

Hope my logs will help.

Thanks for all your work.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
BT is flaky at best... The fact that it works at all for you is impressive ;).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Hakim Rahman:
maybe you can find at http://gitorious.org/~acl/linux-on-qualcomm-s-msm/linux-msm-rhod-nand/trees/htc-msm-2.6.35

I'm not sure if the new kernel will work perfectly for your device because I have tried it and get a wifi connection error :confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] chriskoups:
I think that on Android Topaz didn't give all the ram.. From the first try of android until now the ram is excactly the same... But 2 years ago the ram was default @ 256MB... So now i think we must check upgrade it to 288MB just for topaz..

I don't know how to make a kernel so if someone know it's better if he can check and maybe we can pull out some more ram for topaz..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Caldair:
The Topaz and the Rhodium have the same amount of ram but that last 32MB that you are trying to use is reserved for the radio rom and not user accessible. You are wasting your time trying to access this... but hey if by some miracle you are able to retask that peice of memory good luck making a phone call.

You should be seeking assistance in the rhodium section. Here is the thread where you can find the newest kernels for GBX0C on rhodium:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424495

You want the link towards the middle of the first post "Auto Built Service...."

But the new kernel is probably not going to fix your bluetooth issues. That said I still recommend updating to the newest one.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] mazak23:
Maybe, but it is NAND version..

Sorry for mess, but I was sure it is Rhodium section. Now I see it's Topaz...

It was my mistake, apologize.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
BT is flaky at best. Plus, there's no NAND version for the TOPA. That's for RHOD only...

Edit - just noticed... you should really stop posting in this section.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Diviner:
I haven't tested older versions of android on my topaz, because I read about this build which should perform much better (on the android side - not related to the device itself).

Do you know if this version is going to pass the testing phase soon (making it a user friendly bundle)? - I know you were interested in the solution yaka found to the "First incoming call reboot" bug and hope he would share this with you soon, so you could implement this in your build.

I know that development and testing are extremely hard work and I admire the fact the you invest so much time in making this device run on a living OS.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
The only major thing I wanted to do with the build is integrate the CSV's. Other than that, it's pretty much the final version.

Love to hear how that guy fixed the issue - at some point he's going to have to provide the source... after all, I'm sure I know where he got it from!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Diviner:
Thanks for the quick answer.

Unfortunatly, I don't know what is the role of these CSV files.

I'm hoping for a simple installation file, which in the end will make this device run on GB.

It would have been lovely to have also sense built in, but I know it's not a simple thing to ask for.

The thing is that I also need the hebrew to work - this should be simple in GB (to my knowledge, FY has no native hebrew support).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
The role of the CSV's is to allow proper audio integration.

It's not difficult, not really more difficult than the "installation" itself.

For Hebrew, I have no clue. Never tried.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Hakim Rahman:
yesterday I tried to flash XDAndroid GBX0C on my new topaz, all works perfectly but I found it difficult to make bootsound work on GBX0C (Topaz)

any suggestions how to work bootsound on GBX0C ?? :confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Caldair:
There are bootsounds for GBX0C? Like, that play while the boot animation is shown?

I have never heard anything while booting. (on Rhodium anyway)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
This... There's never been any sounds when booting XDAndroid!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] panos2171:
It runs relativity well for me but it isn't stable. I ll report the bugs

-camera not working (restarting when choose the app)

-wifi must open before run the android (on windows) to find connections

-if the screen closes automaticaly can't be open, needs restart with battery remove

-on incoming call it starts ringing afer 4-5 secs

-sometimes on standby it restarts

(sorry if mortgage again, it's the first time i'm testing android and sorry fo my english :silly:)

Although the applicatios running well. I tested opera 12, facebook app, drag racing (game) without problems.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Diviner:
I read that there was a problem with arabic, I was happy to find out that the hebrew font is there and sentences are in the correct order, but there is still the alignment to the right that needs to be solved (using a separate program - that I haven't found yet).

I didn't see it mentioned earlier, the phone tends to get much hotter than usual (I should note that I overclock it to 672Mhz, but with WM it is 710.4Mhz and it was rather cool) - only 2G phone connectivity was on at that time (no gps, wifi etc.).

I don't need the wifi to be on prior to booting with android to connect to the wifi (It might have been needed for the first boot).

I read that the 3D drivers are not included in this bundle, can they be added separately ?

last thing, I'm not sure why, but when I look at the "manage apps" - it states only 67MB of ram (32 used, 35 free) - it is clearly not all the ram the topaz has, what are conditions that this value depend on ?

Thank you arrrghhh, again.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
Running hot -> I'm sure there's room for improvement power management-wise...

Arabic? ardroid.com - I'm sure it'll take a bit to get working on our junk, but I hear it does in fact work.

3D drivers not included? No clue what you're talking about.

RAM? You must remember that's consumed by SPL (64mb) video (15mb?) and probably some other things I'm forgetting. On my RHOD I think the total amount available to Android is ~170mb... while the specs on the RHOD state 288mb. Go figure.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Diviner:
About the power managment - where can I read about how to change things?

It was mentioned that - "libGLES is missing so no HW3D." I was guessing that is a driver missing/removed..

I also looked for a way to connect the phone to the internet through the PC (I'm not the first, no wifi at home) - is it related to the build or is it an issue with android in general ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
Power management isn't easily fixed. I was just saying there's probably room for improvement there.

libGLES is not missing, again I have no clue what you're talking about. Is something not working, or are you just speculating based on other posts? If it's the latter, please stop.

I assume for the last piece you mean wifi tethering? I can do that on my RHOD, no problem... Sorry, I don't have a TOPA.

Edit - ah, you mean the other direction. I don't think that's possible... I think that's an Android limitation. It might be do-able, Google it :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Quigley:
I have a Topaz and I just want to share with you that it's working great using this bundle! Thanks Arrrghhh and all the other developers!

I know in the world of electronics this phone is now quite old, but I have been using it forever with WM6.5 and decided to try a more modern OS. (I just can't be bothered yet to buy a new phone; I just like the small format of this one -- those new phones are enormous!)

Some things that bother me still (I hope someone still cares to respond):

I only have 5 .CSV files, not 10 like is mentioned here. Audio is working though, where it wasn't on FRX07. So I guess it's OK?

Concerning battery life: can we get improvement by getting a newer kernel or something else? The Spare parts app says the battery temperature is 50 degrees Celsius (!). Some of fhe links at Incremental updates are dead (http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Incremental_Updates) so I don't know if I should update anything from the bundel. I guess I'll leave it at its current state... Or do these Rhodium kernels also work? (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424495)

On Topaz, sleeping behaviour of the device is a little weird: when I wake the device by pressing power, nothing happens untill I press menu (Windows button) OR swipe where the unlock part of the screen is supposed to be. I guess the touch part of the phone becomes active with the power button but the screen doesn't? Is it supposed to be this way, or is this a Topaz-specific quirk? Once you know how this works it's OK but maybe you should add this to the start post? (For the handful remaining people who decide it's time for Android?)

The battery history part of the Spare parts app crashes the application.

Anyway, thanks everyone and thanks for open source which makes this a possibility!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rogermorse:
Hello. There is one thing that doesn't really work well by me: if I plug the phone (usb) and choose the mobile archive function, windows 7 detects 2 thing:

- space volume of 12 GB (the phone?)

- MICROSD32 (the name i used when i formatted it), which is 32 GB

The problem is that not the whole microsd is mounted: from the file browser on the phone, I can see that the micro sd is there, and then there is a folder named 'external_sd', and THAT folder is the folder that is been mounted on windows.

This doesn't allow me to read/write data files on the sd (application files, savegames, and so on)....because it doesn't mount that part of the micro sd.

Is there a way to fix this? I am always forced to copy/cut/paste things from the phone file browser...to get to the micro sd root...

And BTW i have root access now. if that can make a difference with this.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rogermorse:
I just noticed that I am wrong, and BOTH volumes belong to the same micro sd....the mobile storage 12GB is the root of the microsd, while the other 32 GB volume....is also the microsd....but the external-sd folder....why this partitioning?????
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mcer:
external_sd is where your 32 giga micro sd should be mounted, if you're browsing from the phone.

You should have checked the option 'usb debugging ' in menu/applications/development'. Then connect the phone to pc and you should see the both internal and external storage.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rogermorse:
It doesn't happen. I have usb debugging, but it mounts the micro sd as two volumes : 12 GB and 32 GB...which is impossible.

Also browsing from the phone, the mircrosd (sdcard) has an internal folder named 'external_sd'....weird.

Maybe I should reformat the card from the phone? I formatted from the computer before putting it in the phone...but it was completely empty.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jay_993:
i have similar problem where cwm thinks my external sd card is the inter al sd card when backing up etc. dunno what to do.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rogermorse:
exactly, it is not a small problem....i'll wait until someone else knows more than we know...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Fordkiller:
Like the title says. I need help in how to get my droid esn added to metros database. I have everything else done on the phone it gets metro at 611 .. I have the mms and net set and ready to with all files needed. I just can seem to find anyone around me that will add the esn. Please let me know of anyway I can. I called metro and they said no, and I took it to like 10 dealers and they all said no. Please help thanks.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ilikemoneygreen:
what did the dealers say besides no? did they say why not?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Exleh:
Both of you: I asked around a lot last week and I was told to go to a Corporate store because they are the only ones who can get into that part of the database and edit it. Apparently it costs some money, idk how much.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Fordkiller:
Thanks for the replys so far, but I have done all of the above as in so far as to go to the corp store and dial 611 and 228 infront of them, and hello hello hello lol played and nope will not add the esn from the phone in person or at the dealers(any corp or private). The only guy I found here where I live wants 90 bucks to add the esn :{ any other ideas I have a eris running fully flashed and loaded but its not doing it for me any more. Ok thanks for any ideas.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Exleh:
Well I suggest that you keep looking on craigslist or something because that seems like your only option now... or just save up an buy the LG Esteem... $350 but well worth it... epic phone. Good luck man :/
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Fordkiller:
Hi AtmosFEAR I could get one of the esteem but I just looked here real quick and I didn't even see a sub-forum for them :{ whats up with that ? I went into the corp store again tonight and I got someone who said if the phone is flashed they could do it so dial 611 and they here metro so he takes the phone and goes to scan the esn and nope. Not flashed by Houdini so no work. Now can I go and buy that program and flash them my self and will it just add the esn for me into metros database or ? Because I would like to flash the phones also for cheaper then the guy here and make money my self :}. Ok any insite thanks for help
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Haro912:
I have the lg revolution which is basically the esteem twin. There is dec work on the esteem can't tell you exactly how much though. I know they have cwm and at least themes. Idk about a rom though I believe someone is working on cm7. I will ask around irc tonight and let you know.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Fordkiller:
Thanks much and let me know
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Exleh:
Like he said just get the Esteem, it's worth it and xda will soon, along with other forums & developers have a CM7 Rom for it soon enough. It's also supposed to get Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) so it's a good bet, I'll be getting mine this weekend
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Haro912:
If the esteem gets an official ICS and the Revo doesn't I will be heated. It's an awesome phone but it is basically the Revo twin and the Revo got eoled the other day...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Fordkiller:
well I checked it out and looks like a nice phone. I will be getting it in a week or less :} but untill then i would love to use the og droid for a while as the eris I have is just a slow beast :} and they added that esn at the corp store for 10 bucks ?? i don't get it lol

Now also does the esteem have root and all yet or what can we do with the phone out of the box as far as modding to to make it mine :}

Thanks guys
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Haro912:
O just got done taling with my buddy in the revo irc (link in sig if you wanna talk to him)

Made every other line red so it is easier to read.

Like I said ^^^^up there. Just come on over to the Revo IRC and you can talk to someone more knowledgable then me. mt is mtmichaelson and he is in there but not talking at the moment idk if he will be on at all tonight but he is on a lot so you might get a chance to talk to him about the ROM and kernels and such. Hope I helped :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Fordkiller:
Thanks again and i will hop on the irc a little later night time soon here. and maybe i will sell the droid and the eris and get the esteem sooner but i would have to just flash the prl for verizon back and sell the eris to some one for what flashed to metro already and i can hook them up with mms and the net with it. i just dont know how much the 2 would be worth
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Haro912:
Depends on who you ask. Personally I will never get rid of my og droid I adore that phone. It popped my android/smart phone cherry and is just a brick of a device. Just will not die. I have dropped/thrown that phone so many times and it just comes back for more lol
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Fordkiller:
I kind of like it too and my buddy has one but if the only way i have to use it is to pay some one 90 dollars to do what i can do to it for the same price. I know he is useing cdma ws and im not going there. I just am mad I cant get the esn added easyer lol.

Do you want to buy the og for a spare :} lol I know the first owner of this one it was a 35 year old girls phone so its clean and has a case
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Haro912:
Lol. Nah. I just got this tablet so I'm broke lol. But the esteem has an irc aswell if you want to go there. It's just lgesteem and not lgrevolution fyi
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Exleh:
I paid $60 for mine on Craigslist.. and yes the Esteem has root. I will be getting it soon enough lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] MrAndroid12:
I was just wondering if Gorilla glass can withstand pocket condition where there is a standard bus card, a student ID and some dollar notes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] jetcz:
not really... items you carry in your pocket are not a problem, but dust is. Dust can scratch anything, even gorilla glas... I recommed using some screen protector, even the cheapest ones on ebay can do the trick :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] byyasin:
i dont need sc protector.

My phone is sgs.

i have a gorilla glass.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] bootx1:
Yes, so long as the cards are not on the glass side. I have SGS1 since August 2010, it's used daily and always carried in pocket, never used a screen protector, it still looks like new.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Dreamyi:
I am searching also for a screen protector. If you guys think that the gorilla glass works, I`ll give it a try also.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] MrAndroid12:
Fair enough
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] qpakao:
I have galaxy i5700 without gorilla glass ofc and I carried it in my pocket without other items = perfect glass surface after 1.5 years.

I bought used sgs from my friend and it have some small scratches I guess some of them are from outside pocket condition and others from change caring or something.

I think your screen should be safe if you avoid things to touch it like stated above ;) and screen protector could lessen touch screen sensitivity.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] denbeach:
GS more than a year old, sinds i bought it, its in mij pocket, take it out and put it in 100 times a day, not a sigle scratch on the screen !

Bur only the phone, nothing else in te pocket ;-)
