This worked for me. Thank you so much! My guess is the new version couldn't detect the SD drive or something.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Gautje:
Guys,

I see just too many people complaining about not being able to send messages. Please note that sending messages works perfectly fine, but when you try to send a message that passes the 160-digits limit, you will get an error after sending.

The sms-structure is like this:

1st msg: 160 digits

2nd msg: 145 digits

3rd msg: 145 digits

And so on...

If you send a message with for example 330 digits, it will be 3 messages in one. After sending you get an error, BUT the receiver does receive the first 160 digits, with a note that the sms is not complete.

So far my results.

Sms

Hi Gautje, thank you for your answer, but my diam do not send any sms.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Fayoumi:
hello can I use the internal memory of the diamonds?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mak213:
? my diamond sends sms and receives it does just about everything except sound,making a phone call and receiving, battery management
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Gautje:
Yes, you are supposed to. In the build that I got for testing, before the 20090222, I was able to browse my internal storage. I could listen to music, watch my photos and so on. But in this last build, 20090222, I seem not to be able anymore. I get the message to insert my SD card when I try any of it. I think itś a little strange, but I'm sure that it will be fixed with the coming build, since the technology to get it to work is available :)

Does anyone know why the colors are messed up with the RAPH800?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Untouchab1e:
Different chipset than the GSM-ones!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rennat:
Hey, I would really like to thank the developers for the android port. My diamond work really well with android. However, I have a Sprint HTC Diamond and Sprint does not use sim cards. So I am not able to use android as a real phone. I really like to know if you guys are planning on making this usable for me and others like me?

Thank You 1000 times!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] setix:
I see on the wiki that the color issue is fixed for cdma, but how do I fix this? Will there be a seperate release for diam and raph?

great job
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bombzhome:
It looks like something in the source needs to be change and it will need to be recompiled or something... I can't wait to try it out! :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Untouchab1e:
Read news over at http://connect-utb.com/ for info regarding the issue...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sibbor:
It would be great if you could link to the XDA wiki and the current progress instead. If the info ain't there - simply just add it. Let's keep things collected!

maejrep, good work with the RAPH800. I'm glad we're expanding the test user base + can focus on other things ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] touch_android_user:
Congratulations on fixing the RAPH800 color issue! I can't wait to try it out.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shark1987:
yea, can't wait to try out a new RAPH800 version. I'll actually be able to show it off to my friends.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jeroengroen:
RAPH300 problems solved...

Hi,

I had problems running the latest version of android on my t-mobile RAPH300 version, and only the version 20090119 and 20090124 where running. The new version stopped at 'mmcblk0: p1'

I copied all the files from the 20090124 version to the SD/TMP dir, and replaced all the ext2.img files with the new e2.img files (and renaming them like the old ones, ext2.img). Now android boots up! I used msmvkeyb_toggle=off in the default.txt, and now it stops crashing too. I send an sms to myself, because i have no friends, and i recieved it, hooray!

hope it helps somebody.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bombzhome:
I can't believe more people aren't on this thread. These guys are making good progress and putting a lot of time into this. Android on the Diamond/Touch Pro could be the killer combination.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Herbalisation:
There is no reason for the masses to be posting in this thread right now. I've been watching patiently since it started, watching the developers become frustrated with their flooded thread. Anyways... this is my first and last post in this thread until its released.

Keep up the great work guys, its much appreciated!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] touch of jobo:
Damn! :) This was some 1500 posts (over 2 months) ago! :eek:

We won't need separate Raph100 vs. Raph800 builds for that. With some modifications (which I had in place earlier) we could set those flags in the two different enable_panel functions and have them passed along to mdp.

I'm still out on a project, postponed 2 return flights already, but will (probably, hopefully :rolleyes:) be back home after next weekend.

-Jobo
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ibmxx187:
could this be why a lot of people are having trouble with the new build

on the files

system.e2img

data.e2img

cache.e2img

isnt there supposed to be a period between the 2 and the i

like this:

system.e2.img

cache.e2.img

cache.e2.img
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jeroengroen:
I think it's because of the new root.cpiogz. I used the old root.cpio.gz with the new img files, and that worked.

Also, the HTC Touch Pro + Android would a killer combination. I'm sure they'll figure it out!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] aes512:
The HTC Touch Pro + Debian would/will be even more killer :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] LpBv:
It's been a while I'm reading day after day this topic. I think I read it since first post.

I've several times test the builds, and I' m pleased to see how it works ;-))

Thank you guys for your work !

Adding my own comment on the last post, I hope seeing Debian but maybe also ubuntu on my raphael.

Once more, Thank you guy for the work done.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] saudoo:
Why on earth do you wan't Ubuntu/Debian on your cellular? That like wanting Win3.11 on your Snes.. To no use whatsoever!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jeroengroen:
Haha :) i want win on my snes! Although i think ubuntu is not as ancient as win3.11 but rather sophisticated.

I'm curious about the development. Is there an estimation on when the audio will work? then my phone would be android :) I don't know if it's possible to say, or that i'm being anoying by asking, but I am just curious :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cornelious2:
id honestly say it will get done when it gets done. since this is like new ground for the devs its like it could be 1 day it could be 1 week to get a piece done it could be longer. its hard to predict the unknown.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Herbalisation:
yeah who in the right mind would want apt-get on their phone? Its not like you could develop a phone application for linux. I bet some moron would install conky on their phone....

no use whatsoever!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] asticinzano:
Windows CE was initially a fork from Windows 3.x as I remember correctly because Windows 95 was to bloated. But who on earth would be so mad to use Windows CE/Mobile on their phone? :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Kevbodian:
A little confused, but a custom rom or stock or phone being unlocked will make no effect upon Android as Android will run separate from winmo and on top of baseband etc.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] c4software:
Strange i changed my rom recently, and now the naviwheel don't work in Android...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dcordes:
that's no problem at all. you can use deboostrap to make debian arm or ubuntu rootfilesystems. for ubuntu arm see http://mojo.handhelds.org

also you can easily use prebuilt rootfilesystems because it's very flexible with the monolithic kernel. (no need to install modules)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Sindreafg:
How could I turn off the screen on my Diamond? (No, not the screen timeout, I mean to save power)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Herbalisation:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Untouchab1e:
Hi all! The domain just went dead apparently. I have no idea why as I just paid them ****loads for renewal of the domain and hosting service. They probably just screwed up a bit because my other sites on my account are up and working. I have sent them an email demaning a fix..

Hopefully, they will sort it out shortly!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Preaxter:
Great work

I just wanna say, this is fantastic work u guys are doin.

I have a small problem tho. For some reason, when i start Android on my Diamond, when I get to the PIN Code screen, it wont accept my PIN. Anyone got any bright ideas?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] be0ne:
Ok now I got it, this question is the running gag of the thread :D

Just disable the PIN code in Windows Mobile before booting up Android :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] lasterato:
that really really sucks, demand refunds or something! do it...kgo
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Untouchab1e:

A real norway history:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Gautje:
Strange lol. My mom's creditcard (I don't want one, stupid things) got expired too, and within a day PayPal sayd it was outdated, and we had to update the PayPal information.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hyperfire21:
I guess the color fix isnt yet confirmed.. still says waiting for confirmation on wiki.

I hope they incorporate the color fix with the incoming calls feature before they release the next version. Cant wait! :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Herbalisation:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mike171562:
This is pretty cool, when can we get something like this for the cdma diamond?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Herbalisation:
as far as I can tell, it gives up your phone's use as an actual phone, transforming it into a mobile linux based security tool. If you can still make calls/texts with this then im very wrong....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Untouchab1e:
Then you are very wrong ;)

Android is a operating system developed by Google for Mobile devices! ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bibolorean:
It's not entirely developed by google but initiated by them.

A lot of companies work behind the scene.

My company did also something - Not me, but the guy on the other side ot the table ;)

Something about accessing OpenSSL by Java (using JNI) and testing all those security things as well as a signature comparisation tool (which is probably not yet public) to check conformance of two API implementations.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nathanbrown21:
help needed

i follow the instructions on the wiki and this thread however i get this error when i load the 'HARET' exe. It says that it cannot be opened either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found. Has anyone else had this error? How do i fix it it? I have tried editing the registry but no luck there. Thanks in advance.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mugglesquop:
you need the SDKCerts.cab file - Google should find it.

it removes the security check on running .exe's
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dipje:
He wasn't talking / asking about Android. A user here posted a link to a project that places Linux on your mobile phone.... as a security testing tool :).

There are other uses for Linux in the palm of your hand besides running Android you know :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chronster:
I know nobody will pay much attention to this post, and I'm sorry I don't add anything constructive in terms of advancing the progress of this project, but I would just like to say THANK YOU for the time and effort everyone is putting into this. I really can't wait for the day that I can run android on my phone and have it fully functional.

Thanks again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mike171562:
I was referring to this

http://neopwn.com/
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Herbalisation:
I was actually referring to neopwn as well as the linux builds available at handhelds mojo. I know what android is/does, but im wondering if the other linux builds have sms/phone apps.

Anyways, does anyone here use CrunchBang Linux? I would KILL to have a mobile version of crunchbang, could you imagine your phone's home screen being set to conky?!?!?!

lastly, taken from the handhelds mojo website:

"We're delighted to note that Canonical has also announced it will officially support ARM v7 with the April 2009 release of Ubuntu! Yes! I admit, I had hoped that they would also support the ARM v5/6 variations of the ARM processor, like the mojo project, but this is a first step in the right direction.

In the meantime for the next 6 month you can still get your ARM bits here at Mojo. After Canonical pushes the official Ubuntu release out we'll just see what it makes sense for us to support."

Hi Guys,

Im not sure if this is posted yet, or how useful it is, but while snooping around the net, i found this article which links to a nice htc page about how to Flashing your Android Dev Phone with a Factory System Image, regarding Android v1.1.

heres the page

My server is building a daily snapshot of Android's system and userdata.

Get your daily build from here
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] beboxed:
Balsat, could your build server output a change file that contains the code changes since the last build?

This way it is more visible that progress is made, now it more or less looks like not a lot of progress is made. And i think that is definately not the case.

Keep up the good work!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] balsat:
No need for that, is all here
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] reasons:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] balsat:

Haret

I know nada when it comes to Linus and such.

I have kind of understtod that it's necessary to be able to boot HaRET to be able to launch Android and it's not possible at the moment because of unknown IRQs and GPIOS (just spitting out what I've read a few posts ago).

I've done a little bit of reading on HaRET and there seem to be a GPIOs polling function included which you launch from a desktop PC remotely connected to the device.

Has anyone tried it?

Here is the link : http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HaRET_20Documentation

Section exploring a device.

My 2 cents and sorry if it's common knowledge already :-)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] remi.rez:
Did I kill the thread?

Sorry lol
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] NetRipper:
IRQs and GPIOs are being investigated and documented on wiki.

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RaphaelResearch

HaRET doesn't seem to boot the kernel yet, or, the kernel hangs in a very early stage. I'm still trying to figure that one out.

I'll definitely post something here when I know something is running ;-)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mishulica21:
Russians say they did it

here is a page where some russians say they managed to run android on several HTC devices including Diamond . The page is in russian so the translation is not perfectly correct.

http://translate.google.com/transla...dk-1-on-htc-touch/&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&sl=ru&tl=en
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nummer20:
They have it running on a Touch, and looked at pdadb.net to list other devices with the same chipset. This version was already available but doesn't work on the Diamond if I recall correctly.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] gebruikershaes:
I don't get it. How can they run it on the diamond when the diamond has no SD card. I say: bull****.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] TripleQ:
They are using the same cab file as already discussed in this thread...

Its not working for our kind of processor..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] remi.rez:
I'm gonna give a shot at his package, see if it really works on the Diamond.

I have a cooked rom though so might run into trouble.

Will report soon.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] NetRipper:
They mention the Diamond, but they mean the HTC Touch (non-Diamond). The one on the videos is the HTC Touch. The Touch has an already supported processor.

The vogue kit does not work on the Diamond or the Raphael, it supports the MSM7xxx processor, not the MSM7xxxA.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] remi.rez:
As expected, it hangs on the Go Go Go message.

No luck!

I'm checking this thread every day, every hour, I can't see the time to watch android on my Diamond but you know what, i found this demo video from youtube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6FtqpnpMtE&feature=related

The guy says exactly that the qualcomm chipset is 7201A the same of diamond :eek: :D

The difference is the video a wvga screen but , if you wanna see android on htc touch series here we go!!!

Hope this helps....hope I mean

Hi everyone!

I know this thread is quite old, but every other about Android link to this one. Anyway - is there Android rom for Diamond around? According to this site: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a7201a (click: Browse all devices... button at the bottom) Diamond has the same chipset as Google G1 so it should be possible to port Android from G1 directly. Has anyone tried it?

My HTC Wizard is broken and I can't decide which one should I buy next. It would be nice to have an option to switch between WM6 and Android roms.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] TripleQ:
Read this damn thread....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] _Nomad_:
If you'd have read through the thread, you would've known that android doesn't boot on diamond at the moment, and most likely will not at least until G1 is officially launched, which is october 22. After this date on could at least get a dumb that provides something more to work on...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] H3PO:
i tried the kaiser android and the selfcompiled version 'marbalon' posted somewhere in this thread, both with the provided haret.exe and haret-0.5.2.exe from the web

no surprise it doesn't boot... but i wonder why even the newest haret gets the machine info wrong, my haretconsole says

Welcome, this is HaRET 0.5.2 running on WindowsCE v5.2

Minimal virtual address: 00010000, maximal virtual address: 7FFFFFFF

Detected machine Generic MSM7xxxA/MSM7xxxA (Plat='PocketPC' OEM='HTC Touch Diamond P3700')

CPU is ARM ARM arch 6 stepping 2 running in system mode

isn't both the adress space and arm arch detected wrong?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cr2:
I want to repeat it again. For those who do not read the complete thread.

Kaiser/vogue/msm7x00 linux kernels WILL NEVER work on msm720xA devices

(diamond/raphael).

Address space does not really matter (these values are returned by wince),

and armv6 is detected correctly.

Start menu -> Settings

On the first 'Personal' Tab, go the Phone.

Go to the tab 'PIN/PIN2' and there you will see at the top:

'Require PIN when phone is used'.

Uncheck it, and click OK.

Now try to start Android.

Remember that the Android builds are far from 'stable'. You can't make or receive calls, no WiFi, etc... It's great to take a look around in though :)
