The nand driver works, so you can flash your linux ROM,

but we will certainly get problems with initializing the hardware.

LOL, the "classical" xda-dev rom cooking was about adding features to ROMs, and now you want to strip everything non-boot related from it ? :D

IMHO, such a rom will help to debug the hardware in a more efficient way too.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] butterdori:
On the wiki page http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RaphaelLinux

it says that accelerometer does not work, so i just assumed it didn't

I stand happily corrected:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cr2:
"Does not work inside android" != "does not work in linux".

Somebody should adjust the android libs to pick up the accelerometer

data from an appropriate /dev/input/event*

hi I have a problem with the new build tock I can not save my apn has sfr France
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Riel:
I was also thinking about a rom that would load whole windows background, but not the windowmanager etc. So it immediatedly starts HARet.

I believe that a big part of memory is still in use by windows by the way.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] fwonz:
I Think this is a great idea if android runs finally nearly without errors.

So far anybody there who got the diam300 working with gprs and/or 3g with the version of connect-utb?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] XaDuE:
when sms works OK and batery too, it will be GREAT!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] saudoo:
Only thing is that processes like downloading SMS and receiving calls should be disabled under WM, so that we won't download anything to our WM before Haret gets loaded, thus making us unable to open/read it from Android.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Riel:
I don't think so.

What is the reason, the connection should be established?

Is it that linux detects the right hardware settings? When it happened once, it could be hardcoded, I mean the state after detection / working hardware could be saved.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Riel:
btw played around with the cat command and

/dev/input/event0 are all the keys AND capacitive scrollwheel (not powerbutton)

/dev/input/event1 is the touchscreen

/dev/input/mouse0 is touchscreen too

/dev/input/event2 keeps giving a lot out output but not gsensor

all others /dev/input/mice and mouse1 don't seem to give anything.

Quite interesting, cat /dev/log/events keeps giving output about transactionservices, downloads and phone, not all readable by the way.

(Oh, it probably is known to devs but I am so curious) ":p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] stefand:
sms is allready working.

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

I also just did send and received an sms myself with the latest build.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] IceBone:
Yup, sms is working. When I'm at home, I keep it connected to the pc so it charges via USB and I'm never out long enough for the battery to drain completely (it lasts about 5 hours). I'm not using WM anymore at all, even data was downloading at 100 kB/s yesterday!!!

Since we've got market working, anyone recommend any good apps? I tried downloading that opengl benchmark thingy but it didn't work. :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] XaDuE:
I can recibe sms but cant send :( why?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] IceBone:
Hmm... quick error report that I've just noticed. At times, the hardkeys don't do their job. I got a call, but couldn't answer... I noticed that the way to fix it is to slide my fingers over the buttons so the backlights come on, but I didn't think of it when I was wondering why the hell my phone isn't answering the call... :/

I called the person back and the connection was fast and flawless, though. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] gebruikershaes:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kilak:
it's the first Beta so i think that you have to wait the next version :\
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] principedisavoia:
On my diamond i have the same error with the last built, i found that the 09.06.09 is more stable and fast.

thank's for your work.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pingor:
I just better version of it 09.09.09 - so I look forward to the new version, how will all this work I move entirely to an android.

And how best to get an android?

Speaking of display dpi, anything other than 185 makes widgets look weird... :/
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Tenny:
Wow this is great news. Glad to see some DIAM500 progress! Let me know if you need any help testing anything. I would be glad to help in anyway I could!

Edit: I got your 09/09/09 zImage running on it... A tad slow as you said but working!

Edit2: Able to make calls / hear sounds, but no mic heh!

Edit3: Getting a lot of random soft-resets.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] scope008:
Something very strange happened... After running Haret and rebooting, my Raphael 110 (FUZE) is suddenly completely app locked. It will only run built-in programs, and won't let me install anything including signed apps. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Is there any solution that doesn't require a hard reset?

Try reading the posts,i think u find an answer to your question!:rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Tenny:
So on my DIAM500, I can boot into Android once, then every time after that it crashes. I delete data.img and it works again...

Anyone run into this before?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] diabolik:
I know I am repeating myself but when I save my apn sfr he did not record it is there a solution thank you
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RationalGaze:
There is a solution, just read a few pages back.

I noticed something strange. When setting my apn, it didn't work until I entered my apn NAME (that thing, that should be irrelevant) exactly the same as it is, when i auto detect gprs settings in WM. So when i had "simobil" or "simobil gprs" or "simobil internet" it didn't work. The connection was constantly redialing. When I entered "si.mobil GPRS" it started working like a charm.

So, if for any of you guys (or girls) the data connection still isn't working, try to set the NAME exactly the same as it auto configures itself in WM. It worked for me, but I have absolutely no logical explanation why...

Bump

I am amazed (given recent progress) this thread made it onto page 2.

Time to sticky?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ElCondor:
Why should it be sticky?

I think everyone knows about this thread, if they need something, they'll look after it. And if there's an update, it will be posted here, by witch the thread will automatically go up.

I think there's no need to sticky this thread.

Sorry for the offtopic post.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] freakolowsky:
Hmm ... another simobil user :D

I guess i'll just wait until you have it setteled. Keeping my fingers crossed to be able to have Android on my RAPH100 by years end.

Two thumbs up for the progress ppl.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RationalGaze:
Freakolowsky, no need to wait :) Android is already running pretty stable and is already a lot of fun to have on your raph ;) I am already spending more time in android than i am in WM (well, i'm in android until it "dies" due to poor battery management, then i switch to WM, which still show about 40% of battery).

Plus, it's a fun thing watching the development of android on your own phone ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ElCondor:
Indeed it's very cool to see the progress. Actually it would be very nice if we could use apptodate or something similar to directly update android when there's a new version out.

Really not important, but it would be cool and usefull though.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] benko286:
anybody tried new android software?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bigx86:
how do I check which diam I have ?

I have problem with android, after second time I start it freezes. Even thou I used the old zimage. Are there any solution ? Also are there any solution for the loopt-application "crash" message
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] paulrgod:
Should say under the Battery
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bigx86:
any ideas about the freezing issue
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Riel:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pinamosaki:
I can not start wifi, the response is "unable to start Wi-fi".

I have a Diamond 200, what is the better image?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Erik_PLD:
Pinamosaki, please read a little bit of the wiki or some of the posts. WiFi is not working by the moment.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RationalGaze:
No, you can't start wifi...yet. would be very nicevif people would read a bit more than just the first and the last page.

Btw, has anyone noticed their device getting rather hot while using android? Could it be beacuse the always on gprs connection? My diam100 gets hot using android, even if idle in that leather pouch in my pocket. Well...its hot even idling on my desk. And i mean hot as being warm :P
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bigx86:
i removed it...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Erik_PLD:
Yes, is soo hot that you can frie eggs... xD

But it's not because of the constant gprs connection, 'cause I don't use it and my diam100 is realy hot 2.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RationalGaze:
Hmmm well, maybe android is using more CPU power than WM... can anyone else confirm the "overheating"?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] boas:
I would not call it overheating, but sure, while using the 090609 release the phone was very hot. Even a bit hotter while using wlan i WM with no power saving.

But I have not seen this issue with the latest release.

EDIT: Well, this heating I've got came after activating the 3G connection, and I'm using a Raph100.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dzo:
I just got power collapse working, this means the apps CPU is completely powered down when it goes to sleep and should give lots of power savings. There are still some things that don't power down (panel and microp) but power should be better.

Get the latest diamond kernel from here:

http://cs-alb-pc3.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files

Source is on ltg.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] boas:
Amazing, will try it right away!! I "knew" that it was good to stay up checking this forum :rolleyes:

UPDATE: Boots up and everything is as it was last time I tested it. Will try tomorrow and see how good the battery is compared to the 090609 version (managed 5h30min with a 45min call with in that time).

Now i've got a 3g connection, but cant fetch data off it :)

UPDATE2: Hmmmmm now this is new. I left the raph on the table for 10 mins without touching it. Now it wont get back to life, it does not react to any input at all.. But still seems to be powered on... :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dzo:
OK, I left it on all night and it was fine but it seems that when i took my debugging code out it broke something because it doesn't wake sometimes now. I'll try to fix it later but at the moment it doesn't work.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ruskprick:
guess this last code was ment for the raphael? Would u be so kind to take the time writing down wich hardware its ment to?it wouldnt take so much of ur time,would it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ruskprick:
Ive seena couple of posts thats generally writen,but since raphael end diamond is such different hardware would it be that unpolite askising to keep those two in seperate?

Not only is the diamond100 a spererat hardware,why involve the diamond140/500 ?lets please keep the things seperate?!:rolleyes::cool::eek:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dzo:
This is a diamond thread and event though raph and diamond are very similar all my code is only tested on diamond.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] FrAsErTaG:
I have a Diam100 and the 12/09 image works, the battery knows its being charged (even without having charger in when booting) however it was unstable when trying to answer incoming calls and the buttons just failed to work 2 out of 3 times. So back to TaC's package (with 0609zimage) which is working well.

Waiting impatiently for wireless to be working!!!

diam500

well i got android running on my diam500 finally. thanx to the image mrpippy posted a few pages back.i it boots and runs desent. i got a few problems though... for one theres no data, which is prolly cuz im on sprint. i do have phone sevice though... kinda. when i place a call it shows conected but there no sound and it really never calls. when im bein called, theres no ring sound and when i answer agaian theres no sound in the ear peice and no one can hear me at all. i can however send and receive text with no problem. so i was wonderin if anyone might have any ideas on possible solutions to all or any of these problems.

Using the new zImage 12/9 the device locks up but pressing the UP dpad button turns on the screen. Will do further testing

The OpenGL es tests run alot more smoother. :D Overall system is displaying smoother transisitions. Good work dzo

Just tried zImage 12/09 with the lastest package in connect-utb.com. The 'android' logo is gone during startup. Some applications (such as Acrobat Reader and QuickOffice) that need to access local files will cause following error:

Using the latest 12/09 zImage - I cannot unlock the screen anymore.

seems like "menu" button is mapped to something else?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] saudoo:
Didn't work for me either on the first boot. After a soft reset however, it worked like a charm! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] GlemSom:
hmm, you're right... I reset a couple of times - and finaly got passed the screen lock! :D

Now I've configured it to use a pattern to unlock - for some reason that seems to run better!

Another question:

I've been trying to get usb networking to work... But no luck so far...

(Kernel 2.6.30)

I've made sure I have the usbnet module - but what else do I need?

When re-plugging the USB cable nothing is found... (according to dmesg).

So, what do I need to usbnet to work?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] saudoo:
Uhm.. I can't really help you there. If I remember correctly Jobo wrote a smaller guide on the issue a couple of hundred pages ago. Like finding a needle in a haystack. One thing I can ask you to try, is to have the USB cable plugged into your phone on boot. I know that's the only way we are able to recharge our phones, so it might provide a helping hand in order to get USBNet working.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Hornet331:
hmm looking forward to android, i am curious if the diamond speeds up and only win mob 6.x hold it back. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Huey85:
I'm quite sure the hardware on the Diamond will be able to handle running Android perfectly fine.. It's just WinMo6.x that's slow
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] smogdragon:
If it works on polaris I can't see why it should not on diamond. I've seen .cabs to install it (probably they cannot solve issues on directly booting android yet) and ppl are already able to make and accept calls. It's just a metter of time someone gets to boot into linux on diamond too.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Ingvarr:
Maybe thats because they dont actually access hardware like phone module, touchscreen, etc directly, but piggyback on top of Windows Mobile to do it.

In any case, Polaris has a very different hardware from Diamond, at least from driver point.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] smogdragon:
Well, I don't know much about the topic but I dont' think so. It's a linux build after all, it surely does not lay on winmo for anything except booting. I guess it's just a bootloader issue.

Yeah, yeah sure. but I don't believe they got drivers from hardware vendors so there will probably be someone who'll take care of diamond too ... sooner or later :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Ingvarr:
By this time you'll have a devices that run Android out of the box already ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] skiwithpete:
I'm waiting for someone to get android onto a diamond, and post a youtube of it running at a better speed than winmobile, then I'm gonna run out and buy one.

I don't know how to code or I would have run out and got one to help play along with your lads already.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] someone1234:
I would just wait. Once WM7 comes out, there'll be a ton of phones out with multitouch.

Once android comes out, there'll be a ton of phones with sleak dimensions like the diamond. It should be possible to run android with a much slower CPU, which should give you a smaller device and amazing battery life too.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] LuitvD:
Hopefully HTC will make the smart move of releasing Android for the Diamond... It sure looks like they designed the phone to run it, as it has a VGA screen and the buttons on it are exactly what Android expects. Being a D-pad, Send/End, Home, Back, Volume and Power. See the touch-sensors in the D-pad and the stylus-sensor as bonus. :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Ingvarr:
In the near time HTC will be busy with fixing the WM for Diamond, not for making Android for it ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dangay:
HTC & T-mobile to release Andriod on a device soon, Hopefully

The below is from an article on the register.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/07/08/t_mobile_android/

T-Mobile will be pushing out an Android handset in time for its US 3G launch on 1 October, according to rumours floating around the internet. But that deadline could cost the Android ideal dearly.

Google desperately wants to see an Android-based handset in 2008, having said it will happen, and will lose face if it doesn't. T-Mobile could do with some publicity for its 3G launch, which it's claiming will be national but will actually only cover major cities. The operator is also further along than most toward launching an Android handset with HTC, so the rumour is easy to credit.

Getting a handset out this year will be a challenge and Android has suffered from delays, but there are ways in which T-Mobile and Google could compromise to get that headline launch in time for October.

The first task is to dump all the network-branded applications that operators like to install. Rumour has it that porting these applications is proving more difficult than expected and removing them should help the schedule considerably. That might mean less revenue on value-added services for T-Mobile, but they can always be offered as a download later; this might even emphasise the flexibility of the Android platform. Assuming that the device launched by T-Mobile will allow downloading of applications, anyway.

Nothing in the Android licence prevents an operator from launching a locked-down handset unable to download new applications beyond Java Midlets or similar. None of the LiMo handsets so far launched are able to download native applications, despite all being based on that "open" version of Linux. Releasing an Android handset that can't download applications might go against the spirit of the Open Handset Alliance, but it would give T-Mobile that "first Android handset" headline, and most punters wouldn't care anyway.

T-Mobile and Google will move heaven and earth to get an Android-based handset into punters' hands in time for the 3G launch, even if that means pushing the Android brand rather than the dream. ®
