Same Problem here, DIAM300
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Marcellus_pnz:
There is a great progress in the latest build.

At last, the touchscreen is near to usable - less misclicks.

For me (DIAM100), accelerometer seems to be vertically inverted (android thinks top of the screen is the bottom). Maybe horizontally too, i don't know - it rotates the screen when I rotate the phone to the left (d-pad is on the right).

Can't connect to my WPA2 wi-fi network. Nothing happens when i hit Connect.

Thank you guys, for you effort!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ydoucare:
man, how are you getting this to work on diam500? mrpippy's kernel just powers off after the android logo for me. tried everything, i don't get it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dbdj:
Ok, sorry I didn't understand your request...

This build doensn't work on my Diamond... it soft reset after an error with a pointer reference of the kernel :mad:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] IceBone:
babijoee: this latest build is the first one what won't boot for me. It just reboots a few seconds into the linux boot. :/
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] xaoc747:
+1 what to make???
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] babijoee:
What device are you using? I didnt make this for diamond so you'll have to change the startup.txt and zImage accordingly.

With the wifi pack only the startup.txt should be modified.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] xaoc747:
I'm using Touch Diamond! Please give me startup.txt and zImage! Thank you very much!!!

Anyone having problems that no data.img is created?

This release dose not work for a Raph100..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] xaoc747:
Which Rom is stable and working on Touch Diamond??? Give me please a link and instruction how to use it! Thx guys!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] AndroHQUist:
I have a Raph100 and mine is working..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] boas:
Babijoe too but, and I'm happy for you neighbour.. But mine is not booting, so many errors that displays in console during boot, and can't even tell if they are normal or not.

I guess that on your first boot, the datastorage was created successfully?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] MarcLandis:
PLEASE read into the whole topic. There is no point in demanding instructions. This might sound a bit harsh but if you are not able to understand how to get it working then Android for Diamond in it current state is nothing for you.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] rpgman:
Boas, have you extract the file 7z in the root of your external storage/storage?

The previous releases were in /tmp, i do the same with recent one and had been stuck under linux booting (error messages with .img, i copy it at root of SD then one other file that i copy too then on not finding other stuff on SD cards ....), i then test it on the root directory of storage (SD 4Gb) and that works i can boot on Android

MarcLandis, the problem is that if we search on internet (google it :p) we find old instructions, if i'm not wrong the first post here does not containt last information. Most of the Web site we found refer to /tmp folder, the Web site where we can find release contain only last release or zImage. Someone who starts testing it or who had only test it six month ago is easily lost :)

Hi all!

I have a question.

Some people on this forum made movies about there Diamond with andriod on it, when i watch them i see they gave a network connection, is there a trick to make this work becouse i have been testing since the build from babbijoee with the wifi and i took the time to read the Whole forum (took some time:eek:)

When i go to Settings>Call settings>GSM call settings i get an error:

"Network or sim car error" no problem by me but the strange thing is when i go to Settings>Wireless settings>Mobile networks>network operators It starts to search and finds serveral providers:confused:(2 bad mine isn't in there) but when i connect to an other provider it doesn't get a signal but it still says "registered on network

Help??

(sorry for my bad english)

if this is normal i will wait for a working version

i run the latest version from UTB on my Diam100

Thanks for the help rpgman!

I just found the likely reason for it not to work, and it would seem that the cause was charging the battery.. When disconnected to a power source, then I can boot Android without issues! But wlan is not really working, it is activated but can't find networks (and I have the calibration file).. Im rebooting the phone now, so perhaps wlan will work at a new boot :)

Still wifi issues, it now finds wlan but having difficulties connecting them regardless of the security of the AP. Also Dpad is not working as it should, back, home, hang up, and ring keys don't react at all =)

New thread?

btw this is just an idea, if you don't like it please don't flame me.

Seeing as this thread is now 500+ pages alot of people are getting lost when they try to start out, and also the first page just says about linux on the diamond and not alot about android. Would a new android on diamond/raphael thread be an idea? so that the first post that everyone will initially see can be updated to show a summary of the latest developments and links to the latest builds, and the second post a quick guide on how to install android, i.e. download build, extract to internal memory root, how to replace zimage, edit mtypes etc.... As at the moment to find out what's going on takes a lot of sifting through the millions of posts that appear daily (slight exageration). Connect-utb isn't updated frequently enough to include all the little developments, and if it was it would make it a bit messy.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] boas:
More issues:

1: Phone shutsdown if not used.

2: Difficulties connecting to w-lan, sometimes difficulties searching for them.

3: Dpad is not working from boot to boot.

But this is getting very interesting! Wonderful job!!:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] AndroHQUist:
I have only experienced one reboot but I haven't tested the build that much.

None of the more recent builds will let me shutdow or reboot the phone. It just stops in the process but it doesn't hang. I can let it blank the screen and wake it up but not exit the "reboot or shutdown" progress indicator.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] toastcfh:
okay man,let it shutdown with the battery thing.then when ur device restarts dont erase anything ie. data.img or fsk0000000 and reboot haret again. at that point it should boot fine. i had this issue before. i think it spazzes out about the battery fake idk. anyhow, second boot worked for me. good luck
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] rpgman:
1: Did you change the settings for the screen, i think you have to disable the screen goes off in x minutes thing in Settings and then in "Sound and Display" i thing (in the end of choises, down) , sorry i try last release and now it's in french :p :)

3: happens to me too with older release with hardware buttons, soft reset and hope that next time hardware buttons react. I'll see if that happens again in this one.

Hello,

for people with hi resolution and small icons, just modifi in startup.txt this line lcd.density=190 with lcd.density=250 .
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kholk:
It won't delete your flash, this is just an archive that contains FS images, kernel and modules.... and HARET.

HaRET is only a bootloader that runs from Windows Mobile, it will load the linux kernel in RAM and jump to the memory location where the kernel is located.

Then it boots automatically.

If you reboot your device, you'll reboot into WindowsMobile.

It won't delete anything.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] rpgman:
Thanks a lot for this last release.

I can use after a lot of tries the Wifi (i've got the calibration file), it's seem that now it remembers my wifi key (long to re insert at each tries :p :))

Too bad that it alerts me for battery under 15% then under wm6.5.1 i can see that it remain 52%. I had the screen rotation but that's not following my moves or not "smoothly". I'll try in games if i remember whitch one to download from the market :)

Cheers for the next step ^^

A quick how-to for Diamond :

1- Disable Code PIN under Windows

2- Download the release page 500 and extract it at the root of SD cart

3- Go to "startup-configs" and copy "diamond.TXT" in root directory

4- Delete in root directory "STARTUP.TXT" and rename "diamond.TXT" in "STARTUP.TXT"

5- Double-tap Haret.exe (in root directory of SD card), the phone will reboot under linux witch leave you after some times under Android.

6- go to Setting (push up the button who is on the botom) then "Sound and display" and in one of the last choises : disable the power off of the screen, that's avoid some problem of reboot.

To stop it do a soft reset, you'll gain access to windows mobile.

For Wifi, for now you'll have to let the calibration file in the root of SD card.

How to get one calibration file : you'll have to do the same steps as above with an older build in witch you had to activate wifi and bluethooth under windows before lauching Android, then use Wifi (activation under Settings) that's create the file "calibration"

Enjoy :p :)

Here! Here! I vote yes on this.

and BTW I am having issues with the latest build on my diam400. it freezes at

[x.xxxxxx] mmcblk0: mmc1:d555 SU04G 3979776KiB
[x.xxxxxx] mmcblk0: p1

Not sure of the issue here, I have cleared all linux stuff off and tried a fresh boot no luck. And has anyone come across a CDMA build that works for calls and whatnot. I had the vogue before and it worked fine I could basically use android as an everyday OS, I am hoping that we can get there for the diamond.

Thanks,

if yes, why when i launch haret it reset my device???????

i must pick it in main memory or internal storage????
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] babijoee:
Quite honestly i'm getting abit tired of the same questions being asked on this thread. I'm going to write a very detailed guide on post it upon connect-utb sometime tommorow.

I also going to link it in my signature and hope many others will also link it to prevent more useless posts.

It would be very helpful if people had their device models in their signature or even post it so that we are able to help you specifically ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] babijoee:
So your dpad works from time to time or not at all?

I would think that simply copy/paste should of my pack and nothing edited should run smoothly.

What memory stick are you using?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] boas:
Since the android shutsdown after a while you want to boot it again. There comes the problem, dpad keymap seems to get screwd on the second boot. The only thing I ever edited was the startup.txt.

Right not the hangup button is glowing continually without any interaction and no keys respond to anything. When it has been in this stage for a couple of minutes the phone reboots to winmo.

This is a ctrl+c, +v copy, unedited except the startup.txt to a 4gb sandisk card. :)

I would think about an android/linux subsection ! :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jaellis:
Yes files must be extracted to the internal storage, to answer your question. I think people forget that everyone has to start somewhere, they asked the same questions at some point.

yes it does a soft reset into linux/Android.

put in in the internal storage/sdcard depending on the device you have.

But a tip also is to search the thread it is up near the to of the page just above the first post on any page.

My 2 cents

As you can tell, I dont post often (working on that now), but when I do I feel like I have something to say. I started using this forum a few years back when I got my first HTC device, I have cycled through a few devices since then, but the main thing that I want to say is this.....

If you have an issue, I am sure that someone here will help you out if they can, but you have to be a little self motivated. Look around, I can guarantee that 90% of the time whatever question you have has already been answered. if there is someone on the forum that seems to be one of the main ppl developing then look in their signature, there are probably links to other places that you can find the information.

You cant just roll up in here and say "Android wont boot, can I have all the files I need, personalized instructions, and can you customize everything for MY device".... come on, really? Half of the fun in all of this is the tweek of getting it to work. if you want it done for you, then get in your car, drive to the nearest carrier that has android devices, and BUY ONE. Otherwise, quit being lazy and look.

It pisses me off to check the forum for new info and I see there are 3-5 pages added daily, and then when I get happy thinking that there are new developments.... its only repetitive questions. You wouldnt have to look through 500pgs of a thread if you looked for your own answers.

Sorry for the rant fellas, just peeved.

Results on a HTC Fuze

I don't know how pertinent or important this information is, but here are the results that I've had on a HTC Fuze using the following setup:

system image - system-tmo-ota-drc92.sqsh from http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/downloads/list

(Image from a T-Mobile G1, so keyboard slider/rotate support seems to be pretty responsive. Better than other releases that I've tried. Don't know if it's the placebo effect, or just truly better.)

Kernel Image - the October 25 build from http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/squashfs-raphael/

Rootfs Image - rootfs-23-10-09.img from http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/downloads/list

(This release fixes audio and camera support on the Vogue. On the Raphael, audio is fixed, and the camera app opens, but all you get on screen is fuzz like on a dead TV channel)

All the other config files came from the 09-09-09 Raphael release over at connect-utb. Although, I just noticed that there's a new 10-27-2009 release over there. Hmmm.

With this setup, gprs data works quite well, wireless doesn't, the interface is pretty responsive... for a little while. Things start slowing down and errors popping on screen (usually saying processes are unresponsive, giving me the option force quit or wait) when multiple processes are running, say browsing the market place, syncing contacts, downloading an app or two and newsrob updating in the background. Although, this varies from boot to boot. Sometimes the smallest CPU load (I imagine that's the cause, but I don't know for sure) causes the phone/OS to croak, other times it seems to handle a decent load pretty well.

Oh, an oddity that I noticed. I was running a WinMo 6.5 release from Timolol with the 1.14.25.35 Raphael radio, but I reflashed my phone to the latest stock WinMo 6.1 HTC image for the touch pro with radio 1.11.25.01. After doing so, I started getting the Android splash screen whenever I boot into Android. Never got the splash screen before that.

Battery life. around 6 hours from full to completely dead, I was downloading apps or using the data connection most of the time.

Anyways, I hope that can be used for something. I'm not a programmer, but I can test stuff pretty well. :-P
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ElCondor:
Exactly my 2 cents too. This is going nowhere. We NEED to get some more structure to this.

A new thread with at least 5 posts about getting Android working on all DIAM and RAPH devices. So, someting like this:

Post 1: summary, main information about Linux and Android.

Post 2: Download links

Post 3: The most important information, such as data settings. Also, a punctual scene of all kinds of devices (DIAM100, 200, RAPH100 etc.) corresponding properties.

Post 4: Description of every file downloaded in the packages, so everyone has got a clear explanation of what use very file is.

Post 5: More detailed troubleshooters, guides, etc.

Just how I should do it. I don't want to make the thread, because my knowledge of Android and Linux is very small.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] phhusson:
This bootsplash uses OpenGLES (for an unknown reason), so it needs 3D hardware to be up, and currently we don't have 3D initialisation code, so it needs to be used in WiMo, with something like Touch Flo :)

You can also try some 3D games (like neocore or armadillo roll), and compare neocore's benchmark against google phones, to see that diamond is far from being old :)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sorrowt:
Id rather say we need a sub-forum under the diamond forum for Android were all the guides, questions, android builds and Linux builds go, with separate threads. this makes life more easier, and dont mess up with the other sub-forums!

EITHER

try some roms

OR

change with HD2
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] phhusson:
Change the mtype. In this build, mtype is setted by default for raphael.

Edit startup.txt and replace 1910 by 1805
