I love the progress. I will be patient forever. i was just putting my issues out there. I like to be able to see what issues others are having and this was only a post to show others that I am having these issues.

I am in no rush.

Thanks to everyone again that has put hours and hours into this project.

Android works so great that Its not even working fully and its awesome.

Thanks,

@TaC

Why in your lastest package you have used an thmed version of android ? i'm curious...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] c4software:
[ Oops If a moderator can delete this message ]
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] babijoee:
Thanks again dzo

Also whats going on with the android git? are you guys moving up to 2.6.29?;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RationalGaze:
I have noticed one more thing. If my diam100 is USB charging while in WM, and i then boot to android, android also says that it's charging. If i pull the plug out, it still says it's charging... But if i don't charge my phone before i boot to android, i cant charge it at all. Anyone noticed anything similar?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] babijoee:
Yeah its reported on the raph wiki ;) http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RaphaelLinux

Its not really the main area of focus for android at this time i believe.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] TaC:
Just for fun ;) :p

You can switch to any system.img in the other packs.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RationalGaze:
Oh...i didn't read the wiki for some time. I agree, this isn't the main problem. I was just trying to act smart :) Btw, i can't and can't get that GPRS working. It's driving me a bit crazy :) Guess i'll have to give it a bit more time.

Love the developement, will test anything new and report.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] babijoee:
What are you stuck on? Maybe i can be of some assistance :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cr2:
It's the problem of android->kernel API library for input devices.

keyboard and accelerometer have working drivers and work as expected in linux.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RationalGaze:
I can save all setings, and i also get the edge icon showing up. But in intervals. It goes on, and after 10 seconds it goes off. Even in those 10 seconds i can't acess the internet or do anything online. The APN settings do save, and are shown in the APN menu. I set them accordingly to this guide(it's in sloveene, but look only under Si.mobil): http://tabla.mobile.si/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=37578

I have no idea why it won't connect..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] seb071:
The same for me, if you look closer you will see it turn to plane mod alone, every 10 seconds, I don't know more
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] babijoee:
Do you have the ppp.apn, username, password in your default.txt?

If you followed the guide correctly the GPRS connection should be on always.

How strong is your connection in WM?

If its strong then it should stay on permanantly otherwise you may have dropouts. Keep trying
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] c4software:
@TaC

Its possible to build an img from an cyanogen build ?

Hmm okay i have to use the yaffs2 tool. :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] amanker:
The link you mentioned is only giving details of APN settings. please use the guide posted in few posts back. and use the APN settings in ur default.txt. If u have problem of E icon vanishing after few seconds then follow the post mentioned in this thread and connect gmap or any application which uses data. I am specifically mentioning gmap because it tries data connection repeatedly. once connection made the icon will not disappear.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] babijoee:
Heres my guide on how to get GPRS based on amanker guide. ;)

Just a very detailed and easy guide.

1. Open your default.txt

and add the bolded/underlined lines to your default.txt

set cmdline "root=/dev/ram0 init=/ console=tty0 mem=76M msmsdcc_id=3 zmgdevname=/dev/mmcblk0p1 imgdevnum=1 imgdir=/ msmts_calib=0x7a.0x5e.0x35a.0x37f clock-7x00.a11=528

ppp.apn=3services ppp.username=none ppp.password=none

lcd.density=185 msmvkeyb_toggle=off"

boot

(The values of your connection is dependant on which country/service you are with.)

For details on your service check out these sites.

http://www.androidonhtc.com/carrier_network_settings - thanks Oliwan

http://www.flexispy.com/Mobile APN Setting to use GPRS.htm

http://www.niklaus.co.uk/blog/extras/APN_EN.html -thanks slovoflud

Modify ppp.apn=******* ppp.username=******* ppp.password=******** according to your carrier.

2. Enable your Data connection within WM and make sure its still active when you boot into Haret.

(Notice that your device may now be sluggish due to enabling data connection.)

3.Once your in Android open the program tab and goto Settings>Wireless Controls>Mobile networks>Access Point Names

Now press the HW home button and add a new APN.

Enter your details from one of the 3 links above. Once you finished entering all details. press HW home button and save APN.

(Note that you will not be able to see the APN after you saved it. After all the steps in this and you achieve the connection, you then will see the APN details in there) -thanks kailashnj

4. Now goto Settings>Wireless Controls>Mobile Networks>Network Operators and reselect your carrier.

5. Now go back to the Android Today screen and hold the Call End button and select Airplane mode and wait until you lose the signal.

Once the signal is gone hold the Call End Button and re-enable airplane mode.

At this point it is now just the waiting game.

(Important!!! If you get a connection but it disconnects and connects, its probably due to your location. Try your connection outside or near metropolitan areas. Its not to you not following the guide correctly ;)

Once you see the 'G' icon near the signal status it means you have established a connection and now everytime you load Android it will automatically log onto the GPRS connection.

(You do not have to enable GPRS in WM any further once your connection is setup. Notice that you device may become more unstable and more laggy.)

To turn off and on the GPRS connection open the menu tab and goto Modem program and simply click it on and off. :D Hopefully this is easy to understand.

After awhile the system becomes more stable and fast after multiple reboots.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] rayman18:
Really thanks babijoee:;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RationalGaze:
I did follow the tutorial previously. I'll do it again now. will run google maps, so it'll be loading something 100% and then boot to andoid. Will report in about 15 min.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] amanker:
Hi RationalGaze,

I was talking about google maps.. in case ur G/E icon comes only for few seconds in android, not in WM. So if ur G/E icon is unstable after whole procedure in ANDROID. then as soon as u see G/E icon open google map that will keep trying the connection and your connection will become stable. then u can exit google map.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] amanker:
Thanks Babijoee, for explaining my guide in such a detailed and nice way.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Bertjj:
Hello,

I can succesfully run android on my Diam 100, it's very smooth, and much nicer then WM! :)

But, i can not lock the device, or turn the screen off? How can I do that? Is it possible?

Greatzz,

Bertjj.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Riel:
Wow, good to see this project grow!

DIAM100 just works.

The reaction on the capacitive panel is fun, to see the leds go on where you toch it. Also the scroll wheel is working. Volume control seems to be working just fine too.

I don't really know the Menu key though.

The 3G service is sort of on/off issue. It drops quite often. Google maps is not helping here ;) Also indeeed android is not quite stable, but most of the items just work. Market is fine, GMAIL sync works like a charm.

And wow what a great way to show your email!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] IceBone:
I just tried it with the modified startup.txt and it hangs at:

ext2fs_check_if_mount: No such file or directory while determining whether /dev/block/loop0 is mounted.
/dev/block/loop0 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced.

Maybe the memory setting is too high?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] flymanj:
I'm just wondering how is it possible to understand what version is your phone.

Where it could be found if it is a DIAM100 or DIAM500.:confused:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] over_limit:
on my diamond the linux dont run, just starts de log and no more moves just the script...

help.. plz.. :(:(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] babijoee:
No problems amanker. This will be help people to setup their connection and prevent more question relating to the matter.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] babijoee:
You can take out your battery. But a better way is to soft-reset your device and hold the volumeDown button. The bootloader will prompt your device version.:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] IceBone:
Just a note: you didn't explain that we also need the MCC code. ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RationalGaze:
Well, no luck with my GPRS. It's still turning on and off. If i go to the modem app, it gives me some interesting information. It DOES connect, it shows me my ip, and in a second or two it disconnects. Tried the GPRS tutorial several times...but with no luck. I'll try runing google maps in android as amanker said. But i don't believe that will work. I'll try to delete all android files, and copy them again and start from scratch. I'll see.

Thanks for all the help Babijoee and amanker (and if i forgot somebody, you're included :) )
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kailashnj:
Hi babijoee,

I am located in India and my GSM provider is airtel. I have been trying hard since last few days to ensure GPRS works on my mobile, but its unbale to work. I need to know what am I doing wrong.

The following are the steps that I follow:-

1. Added ppp.apn = airtelgprs.com ppp.username=guest ppp.password=guest

2. Enable my data on WM using enabling weather download.

3. Go to Settings>Wireless Controls>Mobile networks>Access Point Names - put in the following details.

apn name - Mobile office

apn - airtelgprs.com

username guest

password guest

MCC 404

MCN 92 (for Mumbai) and then press home button and save the apn. (It does not appear in the list.

4. Go to Settings>Wireless Controls>Mobile Networks>Network Operators - Select manual settings - cannot fine airtel listed only Hutchinson Max and Bpl Mobile (kindly help if any one of you from Mumbai are able to get airtel in the list of network operators.

5. Using the end call button - select airplane mode and then after few minutes come out of the airplane mode. I have tried the step 5 en number of times but never seem to get to the G signal icon.

Kindly help
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] IceBone:
Well, I was able to connect data, but the phone is SOOOO slow now... :( Any memory/cpu speed optimisations I can input that would fix this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] amanker:
Hi Kailashnj.

Please do one thing just select the blank line above Hutchinson Max. And it will work. You will see registering to network.. then you will see registered on network.. then come main desktop. and continue rest of the procedure..

and use ppp.username=none and ppp.password=none in your default.txt or startup.txt
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] gt500:
great work, i have diam 100 and i am working with the last build, i can install apps of anroid market :D this is awesome

thanks for your good work:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] babijoee:
Yeah i'm going to update that. The APN does not appear yet. You have to do endcall hold disable then re-enable and once you establish connection you then should be able to see your APN details.

Thanks for reporting :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shady78:
no luck

dont know y mine not booting!! diam 100 like yours!!waited for linux 20 min and nothing happen.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] LordKiwi:
Maybe the partition on your sdcard is an extended partition. I konw mine is and it produces te same error.

At this time android does not boot with an extended partition.

I think we need to clean up the initrd. We should remove the static device creation, and change it back to the automatic creation with mdev -s, which is displayed in the wiki.

i'll post a new one once it is finished.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Riel:

Beyond what I thought would ever happen..

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Segarra:
Hello, any one knows how to connect internet -data connection-? with Vodafone Spain?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] TaC:
Same as said before, but with VF parameters.

(Tienes todo el procedimiento bien explicado un par de páginas más atrás, lo único que tienes que hacer es cambiar los parametros "ppp.apn", "ppp.username" y "ppp.password" por los que correspondan aquí a Vodafone)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] t0mb0:
Hi guys,

first of all I'm very glad about the recent progress. Thanks heaps to all who made this possible and contributed.

Unfortunately the data connectivity has not worked for me (yet).

I think I followed (multiple times) the data/3G setup guides pretty well. And I do get the little G or 3G symbol.

But I won't get a stable connection:

The G/3G symbol randomly disappears, sometimes together with the normal network connectivity bars.

Then I cannot even make/receive a call.

The modem applet (sometimes) gives me details about my IP address etc.

When I ping my phone's IP address then I also get results. Actually, I can see from the ping results whether or not the little G/3G symbol is "on".

If the phone is off or in airplane mode or the data connection has not been established yet,

then I get "...Time to live exceeded" to my pings or no result to pings at all.

If the phone is on and the data connection is established (according to the little G/3G symbol),

then I get something like "...icmp_seq=185 ttl=126 time=103 ms" (sometimes much higher roundtrip times though).

This behaviour is kind of consistent with what happens under WM when trying the same things.

Has anyone got any ideas? Maybe I'm doing something wrong here?

Is it perhaps hardware specific? I've got a DIAM300, RadioROM 1.08.25.20.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] asticinzano:
Just out of pure speculation I'd say it has to do something with HSDPA and/or the radio rom you use.

My connection in android was rather stable with 1.09.25.23. Then I upgraded to 1.13.25.24 which offers much better signal strenght and therefore better HSDPA reception. But it's rather flaky with android.

When I remeber correctly HSDPA wasn't really fun to use with older radio roms on windows mobile, too. So I suppose HSDPA handling isn't so easy after all.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RationalGaze:
Well, on my diam100 i have the 1.15.25.14 radio, and gprs doesn't want to work. I'll try the 1.09.25.23 and report later.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RationalGaze:
No luck with the 1.09.25.23 also. Now the edge icon is on constantly, and modem app says it's connected. But browser doesn't load any page, i can't sign in with a google account and if i ping my phone IP from my computer i get a 100% loss.

What radio are you guys using (ones that have a working gprs on diam100)?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] babijoee:
Hmmm maybe trying different locations of your house. Or try to go metrolpolitan areas. As my house is near the city i got a constant stable connection. no dropouts. Then i drive to my friends house which has poor coverage and even bad reception for phone calls and my connection was connecting and dropping every 5 seconds.

Although it could be your radio version too. Trial and error i guess :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kailashnj:
My internet is working fine and I have been able to login to the gmail.

Only problem that I have is the battery usage which is very high and hence still cannot move out of WM.

Battery does not charge if you are in Android and have not started charging while in wm.

But still overall very satisfied with the everything, Thanks a lot TAC, DZo and all others who are working hard to port Android to Diamond.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RationalGaze:
Might be the poor reception. Alltough, on the first boot with the 1.09.25.23 radio, the simptomes were as i described them in my previous post, now, on the second and third boot i dont get any edge icon.

I'll try the 1.13.25.24 radio, and go out of my girlfriends house and try outside, beacuse they really have a nasty reception here (but in wm gprs is running smooth...). Well...will see :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Palewolf:
I've spent a few hours trying different zImage versions, boot params and even system.img, to no avail. Finally I updated my ROM from v1.93 to 2.03 SPA and that did the trick. Not only loopt is not crashing anymore, sound (and sound-related apps) works perfectly. Yay!

Hope it helps somebody.

Please some help:

I've installed 09-06-09 Tac-Pack and hit HaRET.exe and started Andriod without any modifications in startup.txt.

Everythings looks great but didn't had any internet connection of course, so i copy paste this txt file as default.txt:

set mtype 1910

set kernel zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

set ramsize 0x6000000

set ramaddr 0x10000000

set cmdline "root=/dev/ram0 init=/ console=tty0 mem=76M msmsdcc_id=3 zmgdevname=/dev/mmcblk0p1 imgdevnum=1 imgdir=/ msmts_calib=0x6D.0x5D.0x340.0x375 clock-7x00.a11=528 ppp.apn=live.vodafone.com ppp.username=vodafone ppp.password=vodafone lcd.density=185 msmvkeyb_toggle=off"

boot

but then i couldn't start Andoid anymore. I even deleted all files and copy the original back to my storage card but it doesn't boot anymore.

Only thing i see is the progressbar of starting haret... and then screen freezes, no booting android, nothing.

I have a touch pro (raph100) and have vodafone as moneycollector uhh provider :D

what can i change?

PS my startup.txt

set RAMSIZE 0x06000000

set MTYPE 1910

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz
