Test results

Tested on my HTC Touch Diamond, version 20090204. (Might be a noob question, but I can't find whether mine is a DIAM100 or DIAM500, but I guess the DIAM100, since the features that shoudln't work on the DIAM500 work fine with me...)

- Booting takes longer than before, much longer than the 20090115 build. 20% of the boots it hangs even before it gives the Android booting screen.

- With PIN enabled, I can't login, but that's known

- Nav keys are little messed up: Home doesn't work, it doesn't open a call windows when pressing the green phone button, but does start a call when a number has been selected;

- When clicking the red phone button, OR the Back button, the phone crashes. The screen fades but stayes switched on, and I have to reset the phone to boot Windows again.

- Boot sound is disabled;

- Cannot play any music or ringtones etc. at all.

- When calling somebody, that phone does ring, but when the call is answered, communication is impossible; both sound and microphone do not seem to work

- Internet does not work, nor does the phone differ between 2G, 3G and HSDPA network

- When not using the phone for about 30 seconds, it crashes

- When trying to switch of the phone, the screen locks and hangs, doesn't do anything at all

- The on/off button does not work, and the screen can't be locked/unlocked

- The battery status cannot be read, but in Windows, everytime I boot, the battery power has decreased! It uses a lot of energy!

- In some way, it seems not to remember the date/time... Confusing! xD

- Camera doesn't work since the phone says that an SD card needs to be placed. The phone does not use SD cards, but has 4GB internal storage, but it can't see this somehow.

- The "About Phone" menu button doesn't do anything

- In the terminal, it gives me "{COMMAND}: permission denied", every command, even "who am i"

- The Led lights don't work yet, nor does stylus detecion

- It doesn't recognize a USB cable being plugged in or out

- Bluetooth/WiFi don't work yet

- I have a perfect network range, it's much better than in Windows!

- The layout is perfect; menu's work fine, all graphics are great and don't lag at all

- Selecting menu's and getting back works perfect.

- The start screen works fine, new items can be added and removed to/from the desktop, and app's launch when clicked

- Sending and receiving text messages works fine, though the keyboard seems hard to handle with. It makes up it's own words and T9 can't be switched off. Also the selected area can't be deselected, and when attempting to, it pastes the selected text on to the place you click

- Twisting the screen in the Photo Album works fine, though it can't find any photo's

- Touch screen seems to be working perfect

- The error on boot has been removed, thanks!

And a special one: Snake doesn't work! Aaaaarghhhh xD

So far my review. Hope it's clear :)

Keep up the good work!

I've put the clock into the tash do you know

how can i get it back?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Gautje:
Strange the screen doesn't work, for me it does? Try to calibrate it again in Windows, maybe that helps...

Can these problems vary because of the ROM version of the phone?

And no, don't know how to get it back; reinstall allways works xD Just a moment, I'm going to try that myself :)

Edit: Can't boot into Android, it stucks after it tries to enable the virtual keyboard -.-
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dejant_9:
ok i've understand...touchscreen work just for a few time..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] daronnz:
With that "old" one msmts_calib=0x7a.0x5e.0x35a.0x37f i'm fine, 3 screens all on the hole display.

And as you say in your post i cound say better :-)

I's very nice to play with android

what we next need is to auto mount the sdcard (internal storrage on diam)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Gautje:
To get it back; press the UP key, and select "Add". Then go to "Widget" and select "Clock", and tadaa, it appears on your screen again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] daronnz:
Thanks !, this clock isn't so "eyecandy" but in that alarmclock app you can chose some nice clocks.

Is it possible to get on of them?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] balsat:
A have changed the init file, now the sdcard should automount on startup.

Unpack the file to /tmp/boot and overwrite the file allready there!

Edit : Now the file shuld be right.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Untouchab1e:
Or touch and hold on the honescreen and click Widgets --> Clock on the drop-down menu ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Gautje:
Doesn't boot anymore. It says ANDROID in the terminal, like it normally does. The playmp3 error has some brothers, with which it gets stuck.

The errors are (About, ain't going to exactly copy 'em)

@Untouchable; Sure, possible too :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] c4software:
@balsat nice, really nice.

Oh no Me to :

init: cannout find '/system/bin/sh', 'disabling console'

init: cannot find 'system/bin/servicemanager', disabling 'servicemanager'

init: cannot find 'system/bin/mountd', disabling 'mountd'

init: cannot find 'system/bin/debuggerd', "" 'debuggerd'

init: cannot find 'system/bin/rild', "" 'ril-daemon'

init: cannot find 'system/bin/installd' "" 'installd'

init: cannot find 'system/bin/flash_image' "" 'flash_recovery'

usb: suspend

And Same for me no touchscreen support, navipad seems different as usual too.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dejant_9:
humm..with this init file the phone hang just before the screen with the robot, and it display error messages like

init connot find '/system/bin/installd' disabling 'installd'

init connot find '/system/bin/flash_image' disabling 'flash recovery'

edit : oops, too long, you was faster than me :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] daronnz:
same here .:(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] balsat:
Ops... Now it should work!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] c4software:
Same for me with the new file.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] balsat:
Sure you got the new file? It works fine on my DIAM100.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] daronnz:
where is it ? is it the old link?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] balsat:
Yeah, it is the old link, mabye you should delete your browser cache!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Gautje:
Just replaced the file, but I also get the same errors. And I'm a 100% sure that it wasn't the same, since both files differed 7 bytes :)

Still a bad file... Are you sure you're running the 20090204 version?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] balsat:
No, i am using the 20090126 ver, but that should wake no different!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Gautje:
Are you on the Raphael or Diamond?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] balsat:
Ok, i was making a mistake... I was booting on my linux partition on the sdcard, and then Android can see /sdcard just fine... but when i boot on the win/tmp image it boots up fine, but no sdcard is found!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Gautje:
So, can you fix the file so it will boot under Windows? Or will we have to reset the file to the original :)?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] balsat:
Is bit of a problem... when you boot from a image, the /dev/mmcblk0p1 (windows partition) is mounted on /mmc to get access on the image, and when Android trying to mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 on the sdcard it founds out that it is already mounted and return a error.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] c4software:
in fact you don't have to mount mmc in sdcard folder. Just create it its enought.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Wonko69:
I just downloaded the 20090204 build from connect-usb and the initrd

I deleted all the files in my TMP folder and replaced them with the files in the zip file. But some files were missing.

So my question is should i just download an older version to get the initrd.droid.cpio.gz file
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] touch of jobo:
Actually .. it will mount but read-only. (No thumbnails for your photos.) The problem is that it tries to mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 which is OK for Raph but not for Diam.

Look in /system/etc/mountd.conf

-Jobo
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Untouchab1e:
Just delete your entire old tmp folder and use the one contained in the zip with the newest build from connect-utb. All required files are included
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Untouchab1e:
On a different matter, a new version of the HTC Android Configuration Tool has been released!

All current users will get a notification when starting the app informing of the new version available along with a download link.

The update is critical because as it is, the program will likely screw up your default.txt's rather than fix them.

Changelog

*Removed the clear calibration and the option to turn the visual keyboard off (can only hide it or have it on).

*Now only modifies the values changed instead of writing entire new files!

Conclusion being that I have removed a few minor features, but made sure the ones still there work 100%

Use the Config tool to check for newest builds for the Diamond and Raphael, and make adjustments to the build configuration through a userfriendly interface. Many more features planned, but wanted to rush out this update so that I can sleep well tonight knowing people wont wonder why they cant boot android after using the tool ;)

Download Page
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Wonko69:
Just did a second download of the 20090204 build with the following content:

/tmp
/tmp/cache.e2img
/tmp/data.e2img
/tmp/system.e2img
/tmp/version.xml
/tmp/.DS_Store
/tmp/boot/.DS_Store
/tmp/boot/default.txt
/tmp/boot/haret18.exe
/tmp/boot/zImage-kll
/tmp/boot/root.cpiogz
/tmp/newapps/SSH.apk

Running the haret18.exe gives me a initrd.droid.cpio not found in /tmp/boot
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Untouchab1e:
And you only used those files without the init from Balsat?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jutley:
i had this problem i just did a hard reset on my device snd then reinstalled android and it worked fine
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Wonko69:
With Balsat's init but I had to copy it twice. But now, after playing with msmsddc_id, I get at blue square and alot of can not find errors. Preceeded by a /dev/mmcblk0p1 mount failed on /sdcard
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] balsat:
Edit your default.txt, change the "init.droid.cpio" to "root.gpiogz"
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] balsat:
Do you still have the /tmp/*.img files?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Wonko69:
Yup Cache, system, data

Edit:

tried mtype 1905 wont boot at all.

tried msmsddc_id 1,2 and 3
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jutley:
disable any type of sim or windows passwords on the windows mobile first then try to boot android

When using this "Android configurator", I get an error when I try to boot Android. It says it expects something at line one in default.txt, which is not there...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Untouchab1e:
What does it say it expects?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Gautje:
The program says: "Default.txt edited succesfully"

Then when I open Haret, and choose Run, it opens a dialog saying "Ërror. line 1: Expected <varname>"
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Untouchab1e:
hmm, strange.. Il check it

Which version did you use? 0.4 or 0.5? And what modifications did you make to the default.txt?

EDIT: I found the (most likely) problem (unicode instead of pure text). Uploading version 0.5.1 now ;)

EDIT 2: 0.5.1 deployed! Thanks for the rapid feedback
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Gautje:
Version 0.5. No modifications, just all files directly taken from the 20090204 version, from your site.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Untouchab1e:
If you could take a fresh copy of the 20090204 build and run the new version (0.5.1) of the Configurator, any feedback would be much appreciated :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rennat:
I have a few questions I would love to have answered and no they haven't been answer yet...

-Is android port going to work with my USA Sprint HTC Diamond. (it doesn;t use a sim card)??

-On the 20090204 version the screen keeps going crazy.

-The screen is still messed up colors. (no one has mentioned it and it doesn't say it still should in the description)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Gautje:
Works now, but can't boot. It gets stuck before loading the virtual keyboard. I'm going to try it again now :)

Edit 1: Booting Android fine now.

Edit 2: Does take quite some time, longer than before, at the Android logo...

Edit 3: Booted. But with an error at startup:

"Sorry! Activity Home (in process androidprocess.acore) is not responding.

"
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Untouchab1e:
Thanks for testing so quickly! If it gets stuck loading the virtual keyboard, make sure you soft reset (reboot) the device before launching Android. It should be done after you have connected the phone to your computer ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Gautje:
I noticed, yes :) But it works fine now. The list that I made does stay the same, though, but that's logical.

Edit 1: Is there some kind of fix now to have this "sd card" or "internal storage" on the Diamond activated, so that the camera does work, and that I may use my own files? Or can't it be mounted while Windows uses it, like the Sim Pin?

And how long will it take to get calling activated? Because in my eyes, that's one of th emain functionalities of a phone. The rest are extra's xD
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Untouchab1e:
Thing is, calls work, but the speaker and microphone doesnt. In order to get them working, there are a bunch of other low level stuff that needs to be sorted out first. It will take time, but it should be very possible to work out.

I dont belive the camera would work either, since we dont have the drivers for it I think, anyways, its not working and its pretty low priority at the moment :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Gautje:
Haha, ok. The calls do work indeed. but when I start a call, after about 10 seconds, the phone crashes. Might be due to the screen, that switches itself off, since the phone also crashes when it's not used for some time. I disabled screen timeout, and now it doesn't crash. Can't try calling at the moment, since it's quite late.

I cannot be called by the way. When I try calling to my phone, it rings one time (The phone you are yousing) and then automatically switches to voicemail.

I do love the progress! Even in this stage I already love Android =]
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vash:
Good work!

Latest build from your site 20090204 boots and works on my (swtos ROM 2.2) diamond.

Dunno if this is a known issue, but if I press the End Call button the screen fades out and the phone crashes :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] balsat:
Dunno if this is a known issue, but if you read the wiki you'll find the answer! :)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kmartburrito:
Got it up and running on my Sprint Raph800. Nice work everyone!

I did have to change the calibration string in my default.txt as well as setting the msmsdcc_id=3 to get it to boot properly. Colors are still off, but that will happen when it happens I guess. Do we think it's because it's not using harware acceleration, and instead might just be software accelerated? Reminds me of when you don't have your graphics driver installed on your home PC, and you can only get 8 bit color.

I am SO ready to ditch WM it's not even funny. Keep up the good work!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] beboxed:
@Untouchab1e:

Could you make the Android configurator follow the system's proxy/connection settings? Right now it can't because of the proxy configuration in my network.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jutley:
i have found that on consistant booting android it only boots without error 3 of 5 tries if u reset the phone it dont have a problem booting maybe someone else can confirm this aswel.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Untouchab1e:
Since you dont use "." or commas in your posts, its hard to understand what you are trying to say. Are you saying that it boots 3/5 times if you reset the phone? Or does a soft reset fix the problem?

Open your default.txt and remove the msvkeyboard parameter. ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] skero666:
i was trying to remove the blue dot also, i removed "msvkeyboard=hide" and it did not work, then i removed only "hide" stil did not work :) i give up...i like the dot...:)

Using the latest download (android-diam100-20090204) I can get this to boot and, thanks to the wiki, navigate.

Calls work, once I removed my PIN lock, but the timeout caused it to crash as documented.

Can't wait for the top guys to get this fully functional.

Great stuff so far guys, keep up the excellent work.

I've downloaded the latest build (4/2/09), and I copied the TMP folder into internal storage. I boot haret, and then run. The penguien appears, and starts booting, but crashes (mmcblk0: unknown partition table). Do I need to copy the folder into device's internal memory to boot? or what else?

SD Card Mount

Hi Guys

To mount the SD card in android, this need to be done by android and not at boot time by the kernel (took me about 4 hours to relaise that) android will not reconise it if it is mounted that way and i have no idea why.

I don't know how well it will work for you guys running from the img files but here is how to do it with android installed in an ext2 partition on the internal storage.

my layout is 3gb fat32 - 1gb ext2

all you need to do is edit the mountd.conf in /system/etc at the moment it trys to mount "block_device mmcblk0" this need to be changed to "block_device mmcblk0p1" (my fat partition)... i also modified my initrd/init to include the lines:

mmcdev=/dev/mmcblkp0

mmcdev1=/dev/mmcblkp0p1

mmcdev2=/dev/mmcblkp0p2

mknod ${mmcdev} b 179 0

mknod ${mmcdev1} b 179 1

mknod ${mmcdev2} b 179 2

this will automaticaly mount the card as rw and you'll be able to access it.

if you do not have android installed in a ext2 partition then i doubt the above steps will work..

also if you don't have android installed on a ext2 partition or know how to make a custom initrd this info is easly found on google.

i read this forum a lot but this is my first post as i didn't feel i have had any thing useful to add, and id didn't want to clutter this post more.

i would also like to thank everyone who is working on this project you guys are amazing.
