I haven't been able to get this to work. If anyone's gotten it running on a Diam500 please share your secret. =)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Untouchab1e:
Awesome work everyone! Worked flawlessly on my Raph100. I havent gotten GPRS working yet but I will play around with the guide I found a few pages back.

Ive collected a few various startup.txt configs and thrown together two packages and published them over at connect-utb.com.

I have to do some upgrade work on the download system as the download counter has stopped working. I will just leave it untill tomorrow though so enjoy ;)

Now I want to figure out how to get Android running equally good on the Touch Pro 2!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] IceBone:
Bah, I'm giving up on data... Having to wait 15 seconds for every command to start and everything timing out and not responding sucks. I'd rather have a fast OS than the ability to maybe download a few kbs every hours. >_<

EDIT: GAH! I just installed the 090609 image and I can't get past the pattern thing. The touchscreen isn't working.. >_<
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Untouchab1e:
Patience my young padawan.. Data connection will be working for you too soon, Im sure!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] aussiewan:
At this rate, we'll have to change the topic name for this very soon... get rid of the "not yet working" bit!! :D

I think the only thing that is really holding me back in using it every day is the battery life. I can cope without bluetooth, wifi, accelerometer etc for a little while, but I need the phone to last at least 20 hours or so.

By the way, has anyone tested MMS? I assume that will require data connection configuration stuff tho. And I don't use it that much anyway. Just it doesn't seem to have been mentioned lately.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] IceBone:
Yeah, I know, I'm just venting. I really appreciate all the hard work everybody's putting in, I'm just reading how everybody's making it work and I just have to let off some steam... :(

great work ppl. ^^

Open up the menu tab>Dev Tools

In there select Media scanner, this tool will then rescan and load up your media.

From what i've experienced you need to keep retrying it a couple of time until the message changes.

After that you should see your media :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] babijoee:
No i didnt :( its not needed to be explained in my guide. The provided websites has those information and so you input which ones needed when setting up your new APN details. :D

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] boas:
Oh yeah your right sorry, the first link contained that information! Witch we completely missed :)

Thanks for the default.txt by the way! Got my ralph100 to work, use it for 12 hours now, and i'm testing how long the battery holds up today.

And i 30 sec ago just did my first incoming call! Damn I'm thrilled.

Looking forward on getting the keyboard to work :D

Hi everybody

I'm very surprised that the project progress finally, it thought that it was abandonned.

I would like to know if one day this project works fine, will it possible to do a ROM under android or it won't be possible?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] c4software:
Please stop asking for an Android rom, its not the problem at this time, for the moment the major work its making drivers for all stuff on the diamond. After that a lot of optimisation will be necessary.

Hallo,

i have an Diam300 (XDA O2 Diamant) and android-diamond-20090807-BETA on it.

But i only get msm_i2c msm_i2c.0: warning bus was busy.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] flymanj:
Any progress on this problem resolution? Because I have the same issue
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mchh:
grat job !!

Works pretty well on my Diam100.

The battery lasts about 12 hours

3G works fine

Can't send sms but receive them.

Keep that great work up :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] phuongpham:
i can't find a place to download Android..

Can we have a download link on the first post?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] NetRipper:
Also just put the extracted version online in the similarly named directory:

http://www.netripper.nl/raphael/raph_20081022_framebuffer_magic/

Bare with me about download speeds - it's hosted on my DSL for now.

Note that the rootfs.cgz was taken from the Hermes (to try and get usbnet working) but it seems it may not be proper for Raphael/Diamond.

Would be nice if anyone could make a proper initrd which simply initializes usbnet and drops to a busybox shell. Although I'll try this myself tonight (@ work now). Include the logo.rle (found in android rarred dump) in the root of the initrd for some magic.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] keerttttt:
Wow, i'm using a android.bin from the kaiser (the new one) and i'm looking at the red moving light from the loading screen of android right now.

Don't know if it's getting farther than that though.

Sometimes it stops moving, and then moves on again...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] NetRipper:
The SD card won't mount yet in this kernel. It's probably waiting for that (haven't checked android image myself yet).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] keerttttt:
Ok, so what's the rootfs.cgz that you're trying to boot then? Just a base linux kernel?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] NetRipper:
rootfs.cgz was used on hermes to:

1. enable usbnet

2. drop to shell

usbnet would allow us to have a remote shell on the device, so that we can more easily investigate and have access to commands such as 'dmesg'.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] keerttttt:
OK, so can't we just disable the rpcrouter? it hangs on that point for now.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] NetRipper:
It doesn't hang there. When using the vogue android initrd, the initrd works (though obviously doesn't continue booting android as mmc does not work). It's a problem with the rootfs.cgz. We're not sure usbnet will work anyway...

(the rpcrouter is, in your case, probably just the last driver to be initialized, which is why it seems to be hanging there.)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] keerttttt:
Ok, well i'm waiting excited as hell this evening if you get some progress then ;)

fingers crossed.

Could someone moderate this thread? I've subscribed to see important development steps but every single hour some clowns keep posting the same questions. It's so damn annoying...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] MasterOfDesasters:
i second that, is going for month now and every third post is about "When comes it out?"; "Does that work now?". So please any mod take care of this thread. Otherwise I could create a forum only for the devs as I did for duttythroy before. Drop me a pm if someone is interested in an android forum without newbie questions. can implement that within minutes.

@RationalGaze

Thanks for trying and letting us know.

@babijoee

After having tried three different places in "metropolitan" Sydney, I cannot confirm this.

The signal strength bars were 3 out of 4 in Android. Sometimes even better in WM. I could get the G/3G symbol, and in the modem I sometimes could also see my IP address etc. But absolutely no luck with accessing anything on the Internet from Android... :confused:

But thanks once again for all your help and efforts :)

Running on a DIAM100 on Orange UK

I ran the TaC build a few times, very nice. Got GPRS working too.

When I ran it today (maybe 3rd time), it seems to have done a hard reset on the phone - or something similar.

All my settings in winmo were gone, including contacts, messages, calendar etc. The phone booted into setup.

Just a heads up to people: back up important stuff before running the betas!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] yimb0:
I have a little issue important ,so i cant register in gsm service(always resquest PIN NUMBER, i always put it but nothing), maybe my diamond must be unlock??, actually its vodafone spain is not Free my diamond 100, but its vodafone, any idea??? Sorry for my bad english , im not using google translate :D.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RationalGaze:
It's a miracle! My GPRS is working. I'm at home, with loads of reception (it isn't 3G but f*** it, it's something :D). Well, looks like it was the receptions fault (but i aint betting on that).

But i have to mention one more thing. My service provider has sepperate settings for data connecion and MMS connection. And while I was reading an online tutorial I noticed, that you have to add 'default' as APN type option (thats for data, for MMS you have to add another APN and it's type has to be MMS). Don't know if that makes any difference, but mine works now...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] techtim:
I don't think you need to set any APN settings for Sprint. I don't think the CDMA radio is supported yet in the Raph/Diamond builds. On the Touch and Mogul you didn't need to put in and APN settings and data worked fine.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] los1223:
Have you been able to boot this on a Sprint Diamond (Diam500)? How did you do it? Did you modify the startup.txt? If so can you tell me what changes? I haven't had any luck with the latest few builds. I get the console (scrolling text) then just a white flickering screen for like 15 mins before I give up and just reset the phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] babijoee:
Wow at Connect-utb build for the latest build based off TaC.

It truly shows stability and wow OpenGLES i API demos. :eek:

definantly h3d acceleration happening and happening very good.

Unfortunately neocore isnt running :'(

I am unable to reopen these opengles tests. Seems that its very unstable.

I'm loving Android!! It's so much faster than WM doing most things! I'm getting used to the different locations for everything, but I'll get there :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] babijoee:
Faster than WM, hmmm not sure about that yet. But its getting there :D

need to hammer out all the crashes and bugs ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] babijoee:
I need some people willing to help me test some things :D

Both Diamond and Raph users

Install the raph/diam beta builds from connect-utb

Diamond:

http://connect-utb.com/index.php?op...load&id=27:android-for-htc-touch-diamond-beta

Raph:

http://connect-utb.com/index.php?op...download&id=26:android-for-htc-touch-pro-beta

And try to run the API Demo>Graphics>OpenGLes

Mainly i've been getting black screens, crashes and even the phone shutting off.

I was able to get it running once, and it ran beautifully. hw3d acceleration.

If you have run the tests in the past, you will notice that it was slow, laggy and lagged even more when you pressed the screen. Now its has no effect and runs smmmoooooth. :D

Then i was thinking how the GPRS connection works so i did remember playing xtrakt earlier in the day and then decided to try connect-utb new builds.

To my amazement it worked. So i just need some other people to confirm this.

Boot into WM and run a game that uses opengles such as xtrakt or COD. can't think of any others and then quit the game and launch haret and try the Opengles tests.

Please report you're finding and your device/type :D

I believe this can help the development, by seeing what HW needs to be activated in WM to work in android. :)

EDIT: NEOCORE NOW WORKS AND LOOOKS SO F@$#ING GOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Test results for neocore are as follow

Raphael

No sound = 18.3 FPS

With Sound = 16.3 FPS

Diamond:

No sound = untested

With Sound = untested

officia Dream device

no sound = averaging 22fps - 25fps

with Sound = couldnt find

On a side note, after doing this i have noticed that android is alot more stable. Could be placebo, but yeah would love to hear what other people have experienced
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] butterdori:
DIAM100

Just tried it now and.....

This is AWESOME!

Truly incredible progress!

I'm liking it better than WM already, can't wait till we get wifi ready (and hopefully, the widgets in Sense UI)

Also, just to note, I cannot recalibrate the screen within android. Though it is usable, it isn't exactly accurate.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] :
Since the first dzo diamond zimage, open gl ES hardware acceleration has been working, i ran neocore,armadillo and mystic on that first zimage.

note: there's no need to run any open gl es game on wm, in order to have open gl es hardware acceleration on android, and btw if you want for this aplications to always execute use a 1.5 cubcake build not themed, they will work always, and 1.5 cupcake not themed is way faster than the themed 1.5 cupcake build's, on our diamonds/raphs.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cubie.HTC:
Just tested on my Diamond, the OpenGL ES demos work very well, except for the 'Translucent GLSurfaceView', which didn't run.

When I showed the running android diamond to my 10-years-old boy, he asked: "is there any game to play?" I replied: "yeah, I think there is a game called 'snake'". Then he said "oh..." and turned away...

I have a dumb question: I saw a "AndroidApps" folder contains "Bejeweled.apk" application, how can I open it in Android?

Thanks a lot for the amazing diamond-android!

jeffrey
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] babijoee:
are you referring to the Opengles tests or just android in general.

Anyways glad to hear it works for you. btw if you mean the opengles then could you post the results you get in neocore thanks :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] babijoee:
Really?

Hrmmm going to try this for myself.

As for the themed version, i have tested it thoroughly and android will not run those test or even load neocore. Only after running an opengl game in WM then booting into Android does it let those things run

Btw what kinds of FPS scores are you getting for no sound and with sound in neocore?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] slovoflud:
can someone create an unthemed pack, please?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RationalGaze:

Hi.. i have a diamond from o2 germany (diam 300?!?! but everybody just talks about 100 and 500)

Android looks stable and really fast for me with the pack from connect-utb (thx for that, really great work)

OpenGLes works fine and smooth,

but i don't know how to show the fps at the tests ??

I only see 33fps (stable) in the "Sprite Text".

"Translucent GLSurfaceView" does't run.

_____________________________________________

The thing that doesnt work for me is GPRS/3G...

Don't get a data connection...

Perhaps i've choosen the wrong APN settings for o2-germany (but i think i nearly tried every possible setting i've found in the net)...

Does the phone have to transfer data during startup of haret or should data connection should just be enabled?

(doesn't find a programm that transfers data long enough for that.. i always have UMTS and data is transferred to fast ..)

_________________________________________________________________

Thx a lot for this work !!!

The only thing i'm really missing is my bought version of tomtom for windows mobile ;/
