Packege to test.

Hi all Diamond owners,

Here is a package contain lastest haret, default.txt, and zImage build from android-git repository for msm7201A (halibut board with disabled some function, just for test). Can someone try it ? What machine type find haret ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] qetuR:

Read atleast the 3-4 couple of pages, I totaly understand that you don't want to read all of it, but 3-4 pages? Is that hard?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] masterbox:
Just an idea, maybe indicating int the thread title that it's NOT working would at least reduce the number of boring and stupid questions...

Something like that :

What do you think ?

Centralized Development Hosting [feedback?]

Hello developers, I'm cross posting this between the Kaiser Android page, the Diamond Android page, and the Android Dump page:

I do not have the time or experience to contribute, although I am excited and looking forward to getting Android on my Kaiser, so I thought I would contribute what I could toward the development process: Space and bandwidth.

I have created a ftp user account on my web server which will be dedicated to helping the *development* process. If you, as a developer, have files to share/work on, upload them to the appropriate a folder with your name on it.

I am currently hosted with godaddy.com on their deluxe plan ($7/mo) and should have plenty of bandwidth to work with, but this is intended for development, once we have finalized files I will probably need to have files moved to other servers as I doubt my bandwidth will hold up once we have functional ROMs...that said, any developers are welcome to use this space as a place for development collaboration and to share files relating to ROM development.

If anyone has any questions about the use of this space or other recommendations about centralized collaboration, email me, contact at the bottom.

Please use the space respectfully and don't mess with other's files.

[edit] PM me for logon credentials. (thanks for the input guys!)

There are currently the working folders:

/android dump/ - Files/scripts for pulling Android from the G1.

/diamond/ - Files/scripts for getting Android working on the Diamond.

Awesome progress, loving the fact that you're constantly updating with pictures. I'd definitely also make a donation as I'm friggen tired of my iPhone, not because it's not a great phone, I just get bored quickly and hate that I have to jailbreak it for the slightest customization. Android on a touch pro would be my dream phone as of now, at least until the next gen from htc comes out, or the X1 :D

Anyway I'm emailing this page and the progress page to gizmodo to try and get you guys some more exposure and maybe more answers. You should start a donation account so that if you did get more exposure it would be more beneficial.

Duh, does it work yet? :p

Seriously, I can build an Android ARM kernel but cannot test it on a Touch Diamond. If someone wants to give me a .config (or some changes from the stock Android kernel), I'll be happy to build a kernel if someone with a Touch Diamond wants to test it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] keerttttt:
I have a touch diamond, no problem to test here.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] yuco91:
I too !! if it's possible ...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] NetRipper:
Seriously, how can you develop without having an actual device... it's not practical.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] keerttttt:
Ah, nice. back from work?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] qetuR:
Well, if he's very skilled it's of course possible. I mean, look at it as a good programmer. If he's very talented he could program without compiling and test it, right?

But still, not practical, as you say. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bloatboy:
This is the first kernel I compiled.

This was with the .config/config.gz that came with the emulator (aka, the default) and will probably fail to boot on a Touch Diamond.

If anyone wants to post setting changes, drivers to add or remove, or parameters that should be included in the Makefile, I'll put up an updated file.

[URL="http://rapidshare.com/files/156920822/zImage.html"]http://rapidshare.com/files/156920822/zImage.html[/URL]

And how I can compile a kernel without a phone to test? The same way as everyone else, even those that have the phone. I use the kernel source, and a cross compiler. I wouldn't even say I'm a particularly wonderful programmer, but I seem to do pretty well with kernel builds. And if people report anything close to success, I'll go out and buy a phone.

Hey guys.. i am just starting to get into Android code development and am really interested to get this to work.. I am not very experienced in programming, but I really want to learn and help as much as possible. I will be willing to test anything you want and if someone who is working on this project would like to explain to me a little bit more in depth on what is being done and if there is anyway that I can help just send me a PM. I also know a group of programmers that are very familiar with android code and have already written a couple of pretty advanced applications so if that would help at all just let me know. I am sure they would be willing to help I just don't really know what needs to be done. Thanks!

Im removing the FCK0000 file before loading into android everytime, this solved the freezing issue upon startup for me.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] MrPippy:
On Diamond, by default USB is used for adb (android debug), not usbnet. Add this into your kernel cmdline: "board-htcdiamond.adb=0" to disable adb and enable usbnet. Also, at boot you need to bring up the usb interface: "ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.206 up" would enable it with an IP address of 192.168.0.206.

Having tested the new kernel today, it is nice!

I am getting battery warnings all the time, and it did shut down automatically once. I'm getting less home screen crashes now, and the 3G is even stable now, but 3g is very weird(unstable from boot to boot...

Actually I have managed to install several apps from marketplace, but then it warned that I was out of memory. I aborted and then downloaded and installed tree much larger appz without warnings..

But it really starts to look good! As soon as the battery holds more than 24 hours, and can be charged properly, then I will use Android instead of WM!

Great job all of you that is working on the project!!! You honestly give us plenty of hope for our not so new phones!! :):):p

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] IceBone:
Hmm... I frankly see no difference between 090909 and 120909... It still thinks 40% battery is critical and attempts to shut down, but just hangs there showing the "shutting down" sign and the data connection keeps dropping every few seconds. :/
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dzo:
I've made some improvements to the power collapse code, it will still use too much power because not all devices are shut down but shouldn't lock up when asleep now.

Someone help me here...:( when i try to use one of these zImages I dont know how to download it.

When I click on the link it opens in code and when i "save target as" it saves it as an IE file that the bootloader cannot use. Do I need some other pc software?????:confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] deeproot:
try holding the crtl button when you try to download the file or right click on it and select save as. Also maybe try firefox if you haven't yet.

You do not need anything special to download the file though.

Just a few questions.

1. Is vertical scrolling not working?

(I'm also finding the screen much less responsive, than before)

2. Are there any real hero builds?

3. Is the END button always supposed to be lit?

4. Any way to remap the buttons?

(I want to make the power button lock screen)

Just left my diam100 in android and charging over night. When i woke up, i couldn't wake up the screen. But the lights on the capacitative touch panel were lighting up when touched. So...it was still in android. Just some info for the developers.

Would hard reset and deleting everything on my internal storage and fresh installing android do any difference? What do you guys think? Beacuse my internal storage is pretty much messed up :D files everywhere...

The automatic light on diamond works nice. The battery improvements too.

Nice works for the last zImage.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Erik_PLD:
The best of this last build, in my opinion at least is the posibility to charge the battery directly in andro and not from wm.

Thanks!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] boas:
Nice! What phone do you use? This does not work with a Raph100 (unless the mini-usb is connected during boot).

Wanted to drop this while writing. Upon Android boot the battery was 100% (fresh out of the charger), but when booted it reported 89% not 98% or something that it should have been closer to. The indicator in spare parts, gives variable readings, the phone has been online a few hours now. The indicator "walks" from 81-83 and even lesser and higher (%). It does not matter very much, but better write of it than not too.. :o:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] IndeedJimmy:
Nope

When I hit the download message here: http://connect-utb.com/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&Itemid=58&task=summary&cid=33&catid=4

I get HTTP 500 Server Error. It still doesn't work.

Rational I'd just pull the battery out before you hard reset. My phone has done this to me before before with WinMo. I didn't lose anything.

Edit:

I got it working with separate download link:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] boas:
Don't use that version unless if you really don't want to test the newest new kernels. Use this link http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/ This download the latest zimage-diamond and replace + rename (delete datafiles aswell) then boot Haret.exe.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Erik_PLD:
I use diam100. Nevertheless the battery discharge still being too fast.

Yesterday I did almost the same test, but in android.

I started the test at 18:49 and the battery power was 60%. Later, at 20:17 the battery reports 30%. All this was made whit the zImage-12/09.

Let's try the new one.

Tried booting default with Haret and it just stopped at the bootscreen where it shows what it's loading. I get a lot of cannot find errors. And it doesn't move. I have the red square, but when I move it the keyboard leaves permanent trails around. The cursor at the bottom continues to blink and it has been 6 minutes.

I'm using raphael though. Which one do I download for raphael?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] slikgman:
Has anyone got this to work on a Ralph800 yet? I cant get past the shutdown screen, even after doing the charging swap after boot-up.

Yup, several people has it running.

Read here and pay special attention the first post on the second page!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] IndeedJimmy:
Hmm

That zImage is saved as a text file what should it be and how do you convert it?

http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/zImage-diamond-13-09-09

Edit:

Forgot to select save as all files

Edit Again:

Actually it insist on saving as a .txt file.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Untouchab1e:
Sorry for these errors but they are supposedly due to too many database connections. I cant really see how that can be the case, but I will contact my webhost on Monday and see what they have to say :)

In the meanwhile, if you get the error, just try again in a minute or so!

Sorry for any inconvinience!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] IceBone:
When you're in explorer, go to TOOLS --> FOLDER OPTIONS --> VIEW. Then UNTICK the option Hide extensions of known file types. Now the file should have a .txt extension. Rename it to just zImage and overwrite the one on your phone with it. :)

That is if I'm understanding your problem correctly.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RationalGaze:
Same here. Charging doesn't work on diam100. At first the battery status would also wildly jump (like from 60% to 15% and back...sometimes from 60% to automatic shutdown), but after a few reboots its working quite normal (not 100% accurate though).

I was wondering... i have read a few pages back that someone got his WIFI working. Could that be integrated in any of the next zImages ? I hope that's not a dumb question :o
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] slikgman:
Thanks for the reply.

Thats where I started at and is what got me to the point I am now. I have updated to the latest zimage file to stop the shutdowns but no luck.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] IndeedJimmy:
Not sure why I had that checked, but that fixed the file extension problem. Lets see if I have any luck with this new Zimage.

Untouchab1e ->

I kept refreshing and eventually would get it to appear once and I downloaded it quick lol,.

EDIT:

No luck with new Zimage I still get these errors on boot:

sms issue

Hello,

What a nice work, this porting project has progressed a lot !!

I've been trying to solve the issue concerning sms sending (I can receive them but can't send them).

I went into the "hidden config page" by typing *#*#4636#*#* to look if I had the good SMSC number (SMS Center), then I tried to update that number because it reads some weirds characters from my sim card .. but it doesnt want to save the good number.

Maybe have I looked into the wrong place because if I can receive sms's, is it possible to receive them without that SMSC number ?

Again, nice work, I can't wait to use android on my diamond as the main os :)

The hardbuttons lighting up used to work a few kernels back, but now it's a bit buggy. I noticed the unless the button lights up, it won't work properly, so you have to slide your finger under the screen a bit until the buttons start lighting up properly before using them. :/

IIRC the module is at system/lib/modules/wlan.ko. It needs to be replaced before wifi will work, along with editing initetc/wifi/loadit, editing the init .rc file, and possibly putting a newer Fw1251r1c.bin in initetc/wifi/

Is this the only fix for this error? Is there another way of solving it?

Yes, the screen is quite unresponsive, but i think we'll have to wait some time before such minor things sort out. First things first, that is, proper power management, stability and getting all the connections work (wifi, BT). Of course the developers are on a steady course to achieve that, we just have to be patient :)
