Map the button in spare parts solve the problem (not entierely), its strange to map the top button (on/off) to go Home, and the G1 and the Diamond have the same number of hardware button, its impossible to map it like as those on G1 ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Styx81:
How does your Diamond show on your Computer ? It should come up as "Device with Removable Storage" and not "Portable Device". You can change this on the Diamond by selecting "Settings\Communications\USB to PC" and select "Disk Drive" instead of "ActiveSync".

Hope this helps!

I figured that out ;).

My diamond is mounted in window as removable drive f:, though when i run dispart:

DISKPART> list disk

Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt
-------- ---------- ------- ------- --- ---
Disk 0 Online 56 GB 0 B

Which is just my HDD...

How should this disk list look with a correctly configured flash drive on a diamond that can run android?

Hello,

But what if you want to sync your contacts with the Outlook?

Is it possible already?

Thanks and Best Regards

A little problem for a newbie:

after completing the boot, touching on the android the wizard doesn't works.

It's impossible to complete the wizard and there is no way to go on: only emergency dialer.

Any suggestion?

thanks

On my compyer it says:

DISKPART> list disk

Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt

-------- ---------- ------- ------- --- ---

Disk 0 Online 137 GB 0 B

Disk 1 Online 3776 MB 0 B

Try this:

1. On Start Meny, type "MMC" (Starting M$ Managing Console).

2. Press "Control+M" (Add/remove Snap in).

3. Choose the snap in device "Disk magament", double click to add, then press "OK" to finish.

4. Now select "Disk Managmente"

Can you see the Diamond Partition anywhere here ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] beboxed:
Yep i have a disk called 'Disk 1' which is removable and 3.69GB, mounted as h: and it is healthy with FAT32 as FS. That is bound to be my diamond.

Now this is what is get when using diskpart:

DISKPART> list disk

Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt
-------- ---------- ------- ------- --- ---
Disk 0 Online 56 GB 0 B

DISKPART>

Maybe this explains why android can't mount mmcblk0p1... I'm really puzzled about why this goes wrong...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Styx81:
When I select the disk in MMC now, it say:

Android ( G: )

3,69 GB FAT32

Healthy (Primary Partition)

Note that the first time I selected the disk in MMC (when I didnt get the Diamond to boot), it said: " Healty (Logical Partition)".

I resolved the problem by.

1. Formated the Diamond in "MMC"

2. Made a Primary disk on it with "Diskpart"

Now this is very interresting, i have a tool installed to mount my linux ext3 partition under windows XP, this tool is called 'ext2fsd'.

In the volume manager of this tool my diamond is listed as:

Type: basic

Filesystem: FAT32

total size: 3832MB

used size: 3521MB

partition type: FAT16

It can also change the partition type (which looks very dangerous to me), this show the type as "04 FAT 16". i think it's kinda weird that the filesystem and partition type are different...

o and the windows disk manager show the diamond disk with a blue coloured partition which should be a primary partition.

Perhaps i should try changing the flash disk under linux, that's something for this evening to do.

Raph 110 - sound workaround

Just an FYI to other Fuze users out there - I've had the best luck so far with the 9-7-09 Beta package (using the Raph 110 settings) and the 9-13-09 zImage

Usual issues are still there - hardware keys not very responsive sometimes, no wifi (of course), spotty cold-boot network setup, no sms send, marketplace working off/on, some general sluggishness... etc...

However once data fully connects, it tends to stay that way for the remainder of the session at least... may require you to toggle airplane mode several times before all data connections are active (browser, gmail, marketplace). I've successfully downloaded and installed over 5 packages at a time... but it has only done that once :)

One of the things I was waiting for was ringtone/notifications to work, and I think I found a way around the default (and buggy) setup. Sound definitely works for the Raph 110 - but like many people I can't choose a ringtone from Android settings. Good news is that if you can establish a connection to the marketplace and complete a download, you can go about this another way.

The only download that I can confirm works is the Flight of the Conchords soundboard from the marketplace. It's a goofy, free sound clip app that allows you to set any of the clips as your ringtone or notification sound. This should work with any of the soundboard apps that allow you to set a ringtone/notification sound... but nothing else confirmed yet.

Just thought I would share with anyone else looking to set an audible alert... so that, you know, your phone is useful while running Android. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] magicman0:
I noticed that the speaker is not loud. Its too soft. Any way on making it louder?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] aussiewan:
I know this is an issue with XP - diskpart can't see USB (and other) removable drives. You need to run diskpart under Vista, Server 2008 or Windows 7. You should still be able to use it Computer Management though. The only reason you need diskpart is if you want to mark the partition as active (needed to boot PCs from it). It doesn't need to be marked active for Android the way we are booting it currently.

To change the partition in computer management:

Load computer management by right-click on My Computer and select Manage

Select Disk Management on the left

Select the partition on your Diam/Raph

Right-click and select Delete Partition, then confirm

Do the same again (right-click and Delete Partition) in case there is an extended partition (will only be there if the partition was Logical instead of Primary)

Right-click where the partition was and select Create Partition, choose Primary, FAT32, quick format

Should be done.

I went mostly by memory for this (don't have any drives I'm happy to blow away partitions on at the moment...) so I apologise if anything I wrote isn't quite right. If you don't know enough about the process to be able to fill in any gaps then perhaps it's something you should not touch, or get someone to do for you.

Incidentally, the original poster mentioned a particular kernel version... was it working with a previous one? If so, then partitions should be fine. But you may need to delete the data.img file so that it re-creates all settings with the new kernel.

I have tested the kernel 09-09 which gives me lots of "msmfb_start_dma x.xms after vsync request" messages. Then i tried the kernels from 12-09 and 13-09 and those give me headaching problems by not being able to find /dev/block/mmcblk0p1.

I'v tried to delete the diamond flash partition using windows XP's disk management, but "delete partition" is grayed out there. I then switched over to ubuntu 8.04 to see what it can do. However fdisk and gparted say that the flash only has unallocated space :S.

How is this even possible? I presumed that all diamonds are identically build.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] stamppot:
These are file-fragments, found by a filesystem check. They are pieces of files that no longer seem to be associated with any file and as such have been saved. They indicate a (slight) corruption of the filesystem and my guess is that this stems from not properly rebooting Android (via long-press END call button -> shutdown Android).

I get them as well and they seem to contain settings written by android, as well as binary data.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] stamppot:
Thanks for your efforts! One question: to enable power collapse, do we also need the pm.sleep_mode command line parameter? If so, what is the proper (or best for now) value? 0? Or 1?

Again: many thanks for your efforts! It has been an exhilarating ride so far!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dzo:
The default sleep mode is 0 which will give best power savings. 1 should work too and probably isn't much different. I don't think 2 works and 3 is the old behavior of not powering down. However, since the panel doesn't power down, none of these modes will really give good battery life. I'm working on it though.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] c4software:
@dzo for the accelerometers to get it working we have to modify an Android lib file?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] stamppot:
So we don't need to pass in the pm.sleep_mode parameter then? Thanks for clearing that up!

Rename it to just zImage and replace the existing one.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] neo6776:
OK, done that but it hangs on:-

Failed to find rootfs.img on SD Card. You need to unzip a rootfs zip file to the root of your SD Card.

Then just sits on that.

This was the issue i had earlier.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] IceBone:
You did copy this straight to the root of the internal storage, right? Not subdirs or anything.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] neo6776:
Yep its on the root. In the same place as the old android i had which worked :confused:

I deleted that though.

Black screen when starting an OpenGL app

Hi guys :)

First, I would like to say how awesome it is to be running Android on my Diamond. You guys have done so much progress lately - I'm allmost 100% in Android now. Thanks guys! :D

Now, every time I launch an application that uses OpenGL i just get a black screen. I've tried the demos and Neocore, none of them are working for me. Does anyone have some ideas to what I can do to fix this?

My device is a Diamond (Diam100). And I'm running the latest release (The one with improved battery...)

Thanks in advance. Hope anyone can help me...

Best regards

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] adewidt:
I had the same problem. It did not work for me on a clean WM 6.5 ROM.

It was solved for me after starting TouchFlo 3d (which uses some kind of OpenGL too) on Windows Mobile.

I think a Windows Mobile application needs to activate OpenGL before you can use it in Android.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] steffenv:
I think it's solved....

Thanks! I'm also using WM 6.5... so that's propably it. Guess I'll have to install a ROM with TF3D then.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] aussiewan:
Yes, it syncs with your GMail account if you tell it to. I have Soocial set up to sync contacts between Outlook and Gmail, and Google Calendar Sync to sync my calendar between Outlook and Gmail. That way my computer, gmail and phone are all sync'd, even in WM because my work uses Exchange. And if you want to check exchange email, use Work Email.

newest zImage and the new Image on a DIAM100

Hey

I have downloaded the zImage-diamond-13-09-09 from http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D and the newest Image from Connect UTB (090909).

I have copied all files in the root from the Internal Storage from the Image and then I replaced the zImage with the new one.

For the startup config i have taken the Diamond config, because I have a DIAM100.

When I start haret, my Leds and scrolling doesn't work.

The Home, the "green" phone, and the LEFT Button work like the Home key.

The two on the right side (Back and the "red" Phone) work like the RIGHT Button.:(

UP, DOWN, RIGHT, Volume and the Look Buttons works right.

Is this normal with this zImage? :confused: because with the zImage from 12.09.09 it works fine.

Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad English!

That is one of the problems I don't understand very much the specific guide...

For example I don't now where too put

Step 1. Open your default.txt or startup.txt and add the bolded/underlined lines

The example is different from the mine startup.txt :S
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] stefand:
If your provider is Optimus in Portugal, use the following settings (Just found them on internet).

First make sure there is an active data connection in WM

Edit startup.txt and add the following to set cmdline

ppp.apn=Optimus ppp.username=guest ppp.password=guest

start haret.exe

Settings>Wireless Controls>Mobile networks>Access Point Names-> add new APN

Name: Optimus

APN: Optimus

username: guest

password: guest

mcc: 268

mnc: 03

APN type: default

-> save APN

Settings>Wireless Controls>Mobile Networks>Network Operators and reselect your carrier

Then activate the airplane mode, when your signal is gone deactive the airplane mode

Thats the way it always worked for me on a Diam100-WM6.1

No. Use it only for testing purposes. There is still too much work to do.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RationalGaze:
I must agree. Well, you can use it daily to play around with, but don't use it for serious work. So if you're expecting a very important call/SMS, or want to use it as a "work phone", don't. It still hang from time to time, sometimes you can't recieve calls etc. Still buggy, but we'll get there :)

Ha, too bad the "stable" WM6.1 isn't even stable enough to let me send/receive important calls/sms.

I'm just holding off trying the switch until I see the CDMA version on the Raph800 gets a bit more caught up. I'm on Telus in Canada, which I understand is pretty much equivalent to the Sprint version for the US.

These last few weeks have been looking very promising, before that I was starting to wonder if the devs had given up.
