It's all speculation, nobody knows for sure. If anybody at all can give an answer it would be currently Schlund. He is the only person who is still dedicated to this Android project...

I don't expect a hacked photon any time soon, so thats why I bought a new phone last week (Xperia Ray). Still think the photon would be one of the best (compact) phones if it runs a complete and stable Android.

Good luck Schlund (and the others!), I hope you will get result from all your time and effort spend on the photon :)!

please help i cant find market place in my phone with this version thanks for your help
[HD Mini Android Development] spithash:
Well, you must install gapps from here.It should work ;)
[HD Mini Android Development] takaiccc:
Hello Friends,

I'm now using this ROM. Anyone knows about how to do root ROM to unroot ROM? I have some problem about security policy of my company that not allow a mobile phone with root ROM to access some software.

Thank you!!!
[HD Mini Android Development] old.splatterhand:
This ROM is already rooted. To unroot you can deinstall SuperUser App.
[HD Mini Android Development] houssem1989:
thanks but i installed it and i cant find it ??????????????????????????????????????,:crying:
[HD Mini Android Development] old.splatterhand:
Take a file explorer like Root explorer or ES Explorer and go to System\App\.

There you will find the app. Then you can delete it.

But copy the file on SD Card and then on PC for backup.
[HD Mini Android Development] houssem1989:
i found it finally but wifi not work they told me error
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
Sorry, i am a bit out of time this weeks,

but basically i have to say, the target is NOT to hack spl,

the target is to unlock nand!

SPL is, as far as i can see so far, more kind of a "user interface" to radio ..

it would be more comfortable to hack behind spl ...
[HD Mini Android Development] peter08po:
delete
[HD Mini Android Development] djfastest:
is there any news?
[HD Mini Android Development] spithash:
Goodbye

So guys i wanted to say a goodbye to you :)

My HD mini screen is partially broken and it's too expensive to repair it.

So i now have an HTC Desire :D

I will move to the Desire forum but i will keep an eye in here from time to time...

I wanna thank all the developers for their effort and help.They made a dream come true :p

So bye guys.Take care! :crying: :crying:
[HD Mini Android Development] tenic:
schlund, is there any news?
[HD Mini Android Development] JohnLaShot:
@schlund,

do I assume it right, that you need the JTAG only once for flashing?

After flashing the JTAG is not needed anymore for starting or rebooting the device, right?

If so, is it possible that you tell me where to connect the wires for the serial communication and give some advice how to flash your liberated photonic rom?

Thx in advance.

Regards,

John
[HD Mini Android Development] peter08po:
hmmm...maybe schlund would give us a release as our christmas gift? :D

Dear Santa i wish too a Liberated Photon Rom for Christmass ;)

Also, Thanks for the work you already done.

Happy new year ;)

Bluetooth Headset dont work

Hello,

i have a Bluetooth Headset (Gigaset ZX600).

I can connect it to my Phone, but when a call is coming i don't understand any word and can not speak with it.

In the Bluetooth settings, Audiosystem is checked.

With my other Bluetooth Headset i can hear the Musik on my Phone.

Is there any fix to do?

Felix
[HD Mini Android Development] ericsonicsson:
Bluetooth headset issue is well known and is not solved yet, not any android version for HDmini works with BT correctly.

Probably, it will be fixed in the future.

Stay tuned.
[HD Mini Android Development] obstgarten:
Thank a lot for the information.
[HD Mini Android Development] obstgarten:
Thank a lot.

@Schlund

whereas we had no posts so far, we understand that there are new for our Mini. We can let you know if you're still working on the project or if you don't even know what I'm talking about? Thank you

It is legitimate to ask, answer is courtesy ...

ciao

anyone would try that? the very old rom last year
[HD Mini Android Development] baggino:
being an older version than schlund is not valid as the last.

If you were educated and therefore schlund answer to our demands of poor parasites .... you would confirm what I say ...
[HD Mini Android Development] iPlasm:
Nice finding that Hidden ROM.. :laugh:

[HD Mini Android Development] peter08po:
he's still on xda, but i don't know if he noticed this hd mini forum

actually a short reply from him (or a few words) here would be enough for us, as at least we wanna know if this project is dead or not yet...
[HD Mini Android Development] old.splatterhand:
I can't say something about the progress or if the project is still alive.

But i believe that Schlund will get it work for us.

There are other threads from other phones here on xda where people are working on a similar problem and there is also slow progress, but the last few days there is MAYBE a good step forward and hopefully this can/will help Schlund to open the door for us.

But there is still a lot of testing to do for them, so give them time. I know myself, it's difficult to wait, but i believe on a happy ending!
[HD Mini Android Development] baggino:
@ Schlund

We are many who hope still in you. ...

Can you tell us if you're still working on Mini-and what we can expect? ask is legitimate.... answer is COURTESY :o
[HD Mini Android Development] Tim35p07:
Last week I received a message from Schlund.

He is still working on the project. :D

Ha, ha, lol, die-hard
[HD Mini Android Development] prohibeat:
hey guys. all development effort has been abandoned by all parties long ago. waiting is over. nothing to see here. it's the time to buy a new phone and bury HD mini in a graveyard. it was fun and we got all we could get.

btw. who would still use 3 years old handset? even if you got it in 2011 the 2 year contract is over and you should have a chance to get better smartphone for peanuts.

btw. don't buy Sony Xperia S because official JB is bugged and aosp/cm 4.2.2 is still in development. Try to get youngest model possible because there will be more updates even if hardware specs are weaker than in older models.

good luck guys and bye to HD mini forums.
[HD Mini Android Development] hervax:
Hi everyone!

It's true HD MINI is quite old, but it still works great for me. Schlund's efforts were immense, and we all appreciated his work. I now run on Phonerty CM9.1 (ICS 4.0.4) on my HTC and it works great!

Best regards and long life to our HD MINIs!!!

[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
Great work schlund! Flashed it yesterday and it works good!

Thanks again for all your work you put on it!!

Left it in idle state for about 12 hours now and it takes only 15% battery (with all options off like wifi etc), impressiv! :)

But the mA values shown by tools like Battey Monitor Widget seems wierd... there this a (little) kernel issue?
[HD Mini Android Development] ericsonicsson:
schlund, I have tested SD-CARD build and there is a display glitch, after screen turn-off and back on display is like dimmed (not correct pallet is applied). After reboot all is OK until first screen power-off.

A report for NAND CM7.2

The battery drain problem seems not yet solved. Last night the battery was still ~65%, but it dropped to 7% after one night.

(With wifi, 3G, GPS etc. turned off)...
[HD Mini Android Development] zalaros:
I just noticed huge battery drain while using gprs. I tried both 2g and 3g and the result was the same. Other than that it's a great release ;)
[HD Mini Android Development] zalaros:
Also my gps doesn't seem to work. Any help on that? Thank you :)
[HD Mini Android Development] maxxoros:
I think battery code should be worked on to makeva daily use..however,current release s a big improvement and really exciting
[HD Mini Android Development] prohibeat:
Ok, most things work flawlessy. GPS, WiFi, Data, calls and messages. I was happy with battery life until now. From full charge it lasted about 12 hours (6 hours heavy usage and 6 hours standby). Now it stopped charging (I think, it shows fluctuating 16%-17% at lockscreen and won't change after reset). Other thing is that device hangs unresponsive ocasionally when using market and requires battery pull.

Apart from that it is nice :)

Thank you for your work and best luck with updates.

Ok, battery indicator on lockscreen jumped from 18% to 80% after some time. This is fun to test :)
[HD Mini Android Development] ZeGuido:
schlund, you're terific.

Presently trying on SD. Works perfect so far, and quite fast considering using a SD install.

I'll try the Nand version in a few days when I'll have time to make the set up.
[HD Mini Android Development] halybobo:
3G don't work on my device , plz fix it. thank
[HD Mini Android Development] peter08po:
should be your own problem. 3g works fine for me...
[HD Mini Android Development] Elemag:
Well, after installing CM 7.2, I charged the phone up to 100% and continued charging for an hour or so (to make sure it's fully charged), did wipe battery stats and I have an impressive battery life till now -- still on 93% after 12 hours with wifi on and moderate usage but without SIM. I will wait till it fully discharges and post again with results.

So the drain is something mobile standby related or you didn't wipe battery stats or it's not reporting correct values but I guess we'll have to wait a bit to see if that's true.
[HD Mini Android Development] zalaros:
How do you test your gps? I tried igo and gps test from market and neither of them can find any satellites. They don't even see one. I'm outside without any buildings around me.

Later on I will also try to wipe the battery stats. I hope this will improve the weird battery level.
[HD Mini Android Development] Ciccius:
I used 'GPS Status' and gps works flawless
[HD Mini Android Development] zalaros:
So my gps doesn't work at all :mad: Should i flash again the nand?
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
does the symbol in the navigation bar appear ? did you have another nand version installed before ? you know it has to download agps data on first use, and this can take some minutes(depending on your internet connection)? was there an internet connection ?
[HD Mini Android Development] zalaros:
No it doesn't appear. So the gps won't start at all right?

Yes i had the previous cyanogen 7.2.0 installed

Yes i had internet connection. And i waited for too many minutes.

Thank's for the reply ;)
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
solution is quite simple:

enter CWM Recovery, format "boot, system, data, cache" -partitions, and install again !

Seems you have still st from your old version on your installation!
[HD Mini Android Development] andyecht:
super Arbeit Schlund.

Gestern erst sd Version installiert und danach Nand. Läuft super. BatterieVerbrauch werde ich nun testen.

Weiter so.

Andy
[HD Mini Android Development] zalaros:
Unfortunately the problem hasn't been solved. I did exactly what you told me. The symbol in the navigation bar still does not appear. Any other ideas?
[HD Mini Android Development] jomaga:
Zalaros, try to flash Windows again, check if GPS works in Winmo, and then restart with photonic flash from the beggining

It's strange, because GPS is working fine to all of us
[HD Mini Android Development] MAX 94:
hi schould i want to ask you if it's possible to flash my mini to NAND from Ubuntu? Because i have a lot of problems with windows 7 driver:mad: Anyway thanks for your work:)
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
yes, but you have to make fastboot working there,too. there are several tutorials on the web. once you got it working you have to use the commands in the batches quite similar to flash bootloader & recovery.
[HD Mini Android Development] zalaros:
Problem solved :D BUT i had to do something more except your advise. I flashed Windows and gps was still not working :confused: so i run (via haret) the last sd version of Android (r175 sense) where i triggered gps on-off a couple of times and then restarted to Windows again. After that gps started working and then i flashed back nand cyanogen. Now gps is working normally and the symbol in the navigation bar appears too ;) :D Thank's to both of you for your help :)
[HD Mini Android Development] prohibeat:
Ok, the battery driver behaves very strange. I charged phone to 100% (on lockscreen/green led) and left it for few minutes then it had 95% so I plugged charger (I want to do battery stats wipe on 100%, is it really recommended to do it?) but on lock screen battery percentage decreased from 95% to 92% and green led is on all the time instead of orange. Looks like the charger (usb) drains battery but green led shows it's charged. Confusing ?

Is it something normal at this stage of battery driver development or should I reflash android? My battery is good, my mini is 3 months old.

Google Engineer Debunks Myth: Wiping Battery Stats Does Not Improve Battery Life
[HD Mini Android Development] az35:
ong ti

I have the same issue in nand version, probably because I switched off gps in r175 a long time ago and didn't switch it on before installing nand. I'll try your solution (winmo -> r175 -> gps on -> winmo -> nand install) tomorrrow, unless someone has a quicker solution ! hopefully titanium pro is my friend :-)

btw Thanks a lot schlund, that nand version is just amazing !

Az.
[HD Mini Android Development] fabian_s:
I have the same gps not working bug. I for sure turned it off in r175...so well tomorrow i will flash back win6.5 got to r175 via haret turn it on and flash photonic nand...hope this solves it for me, too.

No other issues till now!

Great work schlund!
[HD Mini Android Development] unknown_:
SD-boot

First of all - Thanks a lot of hard work, the phontic CM is brilliant, I still didn't done NAND but seem I going to to that, but as test I use SD-boot.

Till today have problem with SD-boot (have Lexar SD 2Gb) time to time I got SOD when get incoming call - The phone didn't wake up and play continuously ring-tone the only solution is to remove battery, did somebody else have the same problem, or it is just possible problem with this SD card?
[HD Mini Android Development] ericsonicsson:
I had problems with SD-boot from 8GB card when card was full (there were lags and complete freezes), but with other 8GB card SD version runs better and, finally I have flashed NAND versions that solves most issues.

So you could consider to flash NAND, anyway you could flash winmobile back easy.
[HD Mini Android Development] ericsonicsson:
schlund, as I have reported, I had an issue with display get wrong colors after screen off and on, with SD build.

It turned out, with NAND build I have the same issue, please see on photos

Normal state, after reboot before any screen turns-off

After the power-on from sleep mode, untill next reboot.

It seems palette goes wrong, as on screenshots the phone make itself colors do not change.
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
seems your screen can't handle high illumination.. after reboot lcd backlight is set to maximum until it got values from lightsensor. Do you have a replacement or was your device ever disassembled ?
[HD Mini Android Development] swissly:
Schlund, I dont' think this has to do something with screen brightness. Have a look at the status bar, this seems ok. But there is a grid over the rest of ericsonicsson's screen...
[HD Mini Android Development] :
Thats exactly what happened to my phone yesterday and I'm on NAND version.
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
well, it could only have 2 reasons: either a software problem or a hardware problem. We all have the same software but only he is having this problem so its most likely a hardware issue :/
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
this is a bug caused by the "new" acoustic&audio libraries. we already had it in older releases. I thought i have solved it, but doesnt seems so, good to know :/
[HD Mini Android Development] prohibeat:
Is anyone else experiencing problems when copying files onto SD card using usb?

Small files ~500kB are ok but when I try to copy few mb .mp3 transfer window hangs (tried with different PCs) and status bar starts to scroll up/down message that usb is connected. Could be related to cheap sandisk card ?
[HD Mini Android Development] ¨K¨:
same here, happend once, also had one freeze too when someone tried calling me.

can't get gps on and I'm having problems with android market, when trying to install apps, I'm getting android.process.media shutdown errors.

apart from that, this build is running just fine :)

thx a lot Shlund!
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
this happens when the device is going to suspend. either you touch the display sometimes to prevent sleep mode or you enable the option to keep the device active when connected. (somewhere in settings-> apps-> development ..)
[HD Mini Android Development] Elemag:
Finally phone turned off after 35 hours with heavy usage for about 4 hours. /CPU clocked at 768/245 ondemand, install/uninstall apps, tweaking, wifi on, a bit of navigation, a bit of browsing and a lot of Angry Birds/. Will see how it performs with SIM active.

Anyway, the calculation of the battery percentage seems accurate enough and it will improve as Android builds its battery stats.

Yes, it doesn't. But I am sure almost noone waits till his/her phone actually shuts down before plugging it to charge. Even if knowing that the charge levels are calculated, not read. So it does matter in some way.

Keep those "mentoring" posts to the minimum in the future if you don't know the person to whom you're addressing them.
[HD Mini Android Development] c6bestia:
First of all my compliments for your work schlund! A first Nand version that can be used on Hd mini that works gr8. There are only 2 problems I have , and i think also the others.. Battery problems and also if you use Tethering the connecrion HSPDA goes out, phone rimanes connected to other device but without HSPDA
[HD Mini Android Development] prohibeat:
I already ticked option to stay awake when charging in apps/dev.

When not connected to usb I set the phone to stay awake for ten minutes or when I put it to sleep with power button. However when connected to usb (I lost charger and only use usb cable with computers) device goes to sleep randomly, be it 5sec or 30sec.

Another thing is, when I power off mini completely it boots up when connected to PC. Is it normal?

Should USB debugging be on or off ?

Also, sometimes charge LED indicator stays on after unplugging usb.

Is reflashing rom worth a try or nothing will change and I should wait for next release?
[HD Mini Android Development] brontolo999:
Hi all and many thanks to schlund for this great work !!

Let's go to the point :)

I'm experiencing some problems with the SD card boot: it stucks on the "HaRET Booting Linux" window for more that 50 minutes

I know it may depend on the SD card (my one is a Kingston 8Gb class 4) but the question is that I've already used previous Android porting releases (r169 and r175 from google project, CyanogenMod 7 port) and everything was fine.

I also tried to format SD by SD Formatter and then by Windows... but nothing.. always the same problem.

Any idea or suggestion??

thanks in advance
[HD Mini Android Development] iPlasm:
brontolo, like me too,

after 50 minutes you waited, put battery out for restarting. and go to File Explorer so see there if you see the DATA (it must be 512MB). and Simply run HaRET again without any changes.

I reported this before, that I had some problem with SD-Build when booting first time.
[HD Mini Android Development] brontolo999:
Hi iPlasm,

the file data.ext2 is 136Mb (it was 136Mb also in my test on yesterday).

Now when I run HaRET again:

- the "booting Linux" appears

- the progress bar gets loaded

- the "booting Linux" disappear

- (after few seconds) the phone reboots to WinMo...

Cannot understand!!
[HD Mini Android Development] iPlasm:
brontolo,

I said the (data.ext2) must be 512MB, so here I think you should do it all again, format a Clean SD. put the files and begin Haret, wait for 40 Minutes at least, after that... put battery out... then see the DATA if 512MB, so start Haret, and you will see Cyanogen Android.

I know it's little bit strange thing... but this exactly worked for me.
