Were are we at?

Hi - since the title of this thread still reads "not yet working" and we're at page >600 ... can someone give me an update of the current state of Andriod on the Diamond?

Are we at a stage were one could consider using it as the primary os?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] rajeshjha84:
Depends in you , how much you want from your primary os for me it is working fine. click the image in my signature to go to right thread.

This may seem a little random but I'm looking for a way to manually change orientation in Android via a remapped button or some other means. While searching I stumbled upon this thread and the associated wiki and found the following on the wiki under the current state table:

So it looks like your build is basically doing what I'm trying to do. Do any of you know how you're accomplishing this? Any info at all would be greatly appreciated...this stuff is a bit over my head at the moment but I'm slowly getting a better footing. I thought you may have modified the keymappings in /usr/keylayout so I opened up the squashfs image but didn't see anything special.

Thanks!

I have tried to install Android, following all the steps etc on my HTC Diamond. First time it looked like it was working, got the penguin on the screen and all the lines of text.

Then my phone rebooted by itself with no input from me.

Now I can't get Haret to work - I just get a message saying "the file haret cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring the file"

So I've tried reinstalling, but to no avail. I get the same message.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

It sounds like you could be using the wrong rootfs or zImage.

Get them from this post

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5222958

But be careful, the settings are for Diam500, not Diamond. Everything else should be compatible with Diamond.

All the best!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] phhusson:
Get a G1 rom, a hero rom will most likely not fit your little RAM.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rogan1980:
Thanks for your help, unfortunately no luck.

I still get the message I described above. Searching these forums I have found a similiar problem described on a different phone - they said it came down to the SD card and to change it - but in the Diamond the SD card isn't accessible is it? Can you format internal storage card on a Diamond without breaking anything ? (I know that doing it will wipe whatever is on it, but is there anything that is vital to Winmo working that I would then break by wiping the card).

Hmmm... perhaps I'm just not meant to have Android on my phone :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rogan1980:
ok, so I played around a little more - I ended up clearing my phone and formatting my storage, and reloading. Now it will go through the boot process, I'll calibrate the screen, and then it goes into what appears to be some form of screen saver - 4 lots of different coloured lines (Red, Green, Yellow and Blue) that come together into the middle of the screen. Every now and then this pauses, but basically it's been playing this on the screen for almost 8 minutes (I gave it 5 the first time before I reset it!)

help?

Did you make it to work? I have the same problem I tried everything.

I m using the XDANDROID21AOSP030510 file that you select your phone startup.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rogan1980:
No I still can't get it to go past the red yellow blue and green 'screensaver' type screen.

Anyone give any advice?

I'm using the XDANDROID21AOSP030510 file also.

Is there a better option? I'm selecting the DIAM100 startup file - is it possible that this is the wrong file? How can I tell?

Working, but no gprs or wifi

Hey, first of all, good work with this porting thing.

I have managed to boot the latest android on my touch diamond. In the configuration at first boot i have to enter my gmail account, but i have no data or wifi connection. The problem is that my wireless adapter seems to be broken, even in win mobile 6.1 (i read about this in another thread).

Do i enter my gprs-settings in a specific file that i have in my internal storage? This thread is so long i cant find the answer. Thank you for any help!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] phhusson:
The "gprs" settings have to be entered the same way as normal android phones

One subtility, our "menu" key is the home key.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] onesterud:
Oh, I see! I left my diamond for service because of the faulty wifi yesterday, so now im unable to proceed my testing.

But are you saying that if i had used my home key, a menu for settings would appear?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] phhusson:
When you're on the ""blank"" APN list, yes you'll get a menu appearing.

And yes, it really is counter-intuitive, just note that this menu button is used by almost every single android app. (even the launcher)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mugglesquop:

I have tried build XANDROID 13.06.10 | 2.1 buildsNEW!

and my diam 100 is getting much hotter than build from 2 month ago...

I ve tried lates kernel from glemsom.... same thing. I didnt used it more than 1 hour cause I was afraid of burning the thing

And it is really slow as well.

I was wondering if I was alone with this problem???

Wereas I was thinking of using android daily 2 monthes ago.

Verizon Touch Diamond DIAM400

I am curious why there is no info and links for getting android running on the DIAM400 6950 Verizon model. Is this possible? Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] iknighty:
It should be possible.

Try this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=601751

Just download the latest package, place it in the internal storage and try the STARTUP.TXT file for the DIAM 100. Then open Haret.exe.

If that doesn't work try editing the STARTUP.TXT file and changing the mtype to '2040'.

Goodluck!

hi

Hi,

I installed the Android on my Diam100 and it works fine for the stage it is in right now. There were a lot of restarts but it ran. Now i have a little problem i removed it because it was quite slow when people were calling me and couldnt talk at all, but my phone wont connect to my PC. It could be the usb cable and ill try later with another one and i really pray the cable is the problem. I tried hard resets i sent via BT a rom to preinstall and i even formatted my Internal Storage and still my pc cant find my Diam. Is there any way i can make it work again, or at least can u tell me whether the android changes the file system on the int storage or makes more part (like Ubuntu f.ex.). Because if it is so then i need to find a way to format my IS to fat32 again if it is ext1\2.

Anyway, great port keep up the good work.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cynepmeh:
Currently the XDAndroid phones cannot connect via USB normally. There is a way to connect it only to push some files, but it involves installing some SDK, command prompting etc. So do not waste your time trying...

I meant i cant connect it even on winmo, i know that xdandroid has problems with connections to various things

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] MrVarioII:
First of all well done gentlemen! I've been away from this project for a good five months due to first exams then the arrival of my HTC Desire, but having a second phone for work and thus a need to reserect my Diamond again from the ashes I immediately updated my android version to the latest. To discover a new android version, GPS works, smoother interface - all very impressive. Not to mention VOICE SEARCH :-O

Quick question:

1. I'm having trouble getting the data connection (which set itself up automatically) to switch off. This is a problem as the 3 sim in it doesn't have a data package....so I'll run up a huge bill unless I solve this.

2. Where are we with autonomy? I've an exteneded battery and two originals so I should get by regardless but keeping them all charged will drive me bananas. Can anyone give me a ballpark as to what we are experiencing of late? I'll have my own ideas in a couple of days obviously but I'd rather be able to plan ahead!

Thanks for your help all!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] MrVarioII:
Been testing a little and thought I'd report back. Only two real issue found, and one potential issue that will take someone a bit more experienced to evaluate.. Latest build as of yesterday btw.

First:

Wow guys! Just WOW! This project has improved a huge amount in the months I was away. I've been very impressed by the new project. The level of autonomy is now at a point where I may choose to forget about WM entirely.

Since no1 has replied to give me an approximation of the autonomy I thought I'd reply to help others having tested it a little myself now.

My phone is reporting it's uptime as 26hours 30 minutes with an extended battery. It's reporting 4% battery charge remaining. It was used intensively during the first three hours, including wifi, android market, and using a few flashcard programs. Wifi was then disabled. Four calls were made each only of about four minutes More than ninety five percent of battery usage is reported to have been used by android. Advanced task manager was running the full time.

Issues encountered:

1. Resume from standby is still buggy. As a work around I've found the phone can be reliably re-activated by pushing the top {normally power in WM} three or four times, the screen will switch on but remain black. then tap your finger on the position where the slider is located on either side. It's about a third of the way up the screen from the bottom on the left {unlock/accept call} and right {mute/unmute/reject call}

2. In the in call menu accessed by pressing the 'home' button oon the diamond there's a crushing of buttons over hangup and bluetooth. It's still useable though.

Potential issues:

1. In suspend/sleep mode [accessed by pressing the bottom right 'hang up' button] the ring continues to show the white light moving up in waves. This used to be associated with the device failing to go into true sleep mode and a much higher degree of power usage. I had advanced task manager running, could that have prevented true sleep? If it's not going into the true sleep mode then perhaps still more battery time could be achieved by figuring out why this isn't working anymore? That's assuming this issue affects all phones not just a specific number model or setup!

2. I once {beore this 26hour odd period) had the screen lock out on me during a call and couldn't hang up as it was a landline......l Having no other option I had to use the reset button.

Still quite a lot of processes going unresponsive and prompting force exit or wait but all in all it's running superbly and highly usably.

Thanks all!

PPS - The phone is unlocked and running 3 but on the unlock screen it says orange uk in the corner? what's going on there?

I went ahead and installed the latest via the .cab installer. Only drawback was I had to use WiFi to get Market and Data to work and the battery seemed to drain extremely fast.

Yes, that's where you place it. And actually the internal storage is a micro SD card molded onto the board...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Guest4:
I know that this is a little off-topic, and if it's too off-topic for anybody, can you please direct me to a fourm where it would be on-topic? Anyway, i have a Samsung SCH-i760 and would like to run Android on it. I think that I have everything I need, I'm just not sure what I would put in Version.txt / default.txt. Could someone tell me what to put in the TXT files, or, how to find out myself what goes where? Thanks!

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't even put in what's happening! When I run HARET.exe, it shows this....

"HaRET boot

Shutting down hardware

Turning off MNU...

In preloader

PSR=600000df

Tags relocated

Kernel relocated

Initrd relocated

Jumping to Kernel..."

And it just freezes. Waiting...... and waiting........ No dice. I have to hard-reset it to even get out of it!

EDIT #2: Just FYI, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" on a Wubi install and the micro-SD card is a 4GB SDHC card. The card is formatted FAT32.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] daedric:
Its not that simple... you need a kernel compiled to you samsung. That's why when loading the kernel made for Diamond / Raphael, it crashes. Won't be easy... its alot of devel! :)

Try searching the web... see if someone else as already tried that specific device. But be advised... ONLY 64 mb of RAM... won't suffice.

what is the best kernel for diamond?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Slayerrider:
I have now Android on my Diamond. But there are to problems, hopefully someone can help.

1. I put all the startup-files to the internal storage, not to the telefon storage, because the Diamond has no sd-card. But now every app and programm tells me, that there is no sd-card and therefor it cannot find any files, for example, the music player cannot find the mp3s.

2. When I connect my phone with my PC (Windows) over USB-cable, I cannot do anything, because I need drivers. But where can I get them?

It would be really good if someon can help me!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cynepmeh:
1. I think that you have to format your internal memory to a FAT32 partition (it actually is an SD card molded to your PCB) using the HP Format Tool.

2. Currently you cannot access your phone using the USB cable. The only working method is using ADB (command line method) to push or pull files.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Slayerrider:
1. But with the OI-File-Manager I can see everything on the internal storage.

2. ADB, don't know about this, have to look how it works.
