Well...I think that someone is right to say that this is still a project and that there're many things to do...

but I also reckon that those guys are great...

they managed to do something which nobody else (on blackstone platform) could do...

especially the 1.5 version is good-looking, the phone works, you can make a call and send sms...instead the 1.6 is a little bit faster...

It's true that it isn't still enough...but we've also to consider the things they've already done for this project...

so I think that we've to appreciate the huge work of those guys...and I believe in this project and in sharing the resources step by step with the others members of the forum to have some feedback...

and I believe in this project which surely will go forward in a short time...

Really well done boys...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] aavan:
I agree, of course !

They've made an amazing work on this project so far, but I think it's good to remind to people that there's still a lot of things to do, to calm them down a bit, because the more the project will progress, the more pressure people will put on the developers back.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] itchy8me:
wow .. well done guys!...

i'm trying to get the apn setup and am having some problems, i read a couple of posts here with people that had the same problem as me.., that is that the apn settings don't get saved. i'm wondering do the settings only get saved if entered correctly?

i'm with tmobile NL, and am using these settings

anybody else using the tmobile NL network here? I'm als using the kernel built with sound.

another problem someone else here might have been able to fix.. i'm trying to open a pdf with pdfviewer, pdfviewer starts up and then exists without saying anything, anybody else here having these problems.. or better yet been able to solve em?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] felixjai:
I had the same problem with Internet/Data connection before. The APN settings didn't get saved. It appeared that the settings were actually saved, but it just didn't show up on list. After you type in the APN setting and save it. Turn Airplane mode off and then on. The APN would show up and data should work. Follow the instructions I posted earlier. You don't need to hold the END key to get to the Airplane mode setting. You will find it under Wireless Controls setting page. Hope this helps.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] itchy8me:

after using the steps given by felixjai, i had to try a couple of different settings for the internet apn and mms apn. I got these by searching the net for settings. Also i had to disable and reenable the plane mode a couple of times.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cyclone_storm:
I didn't even use airplane mode, the only thing I did, was configuring the

right Vodafone settings, and after that I put a 2G/3G Widget on the

background, clicked on it ones on and off, and Bling it worked. :D:D:D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tikejhya:
exactly that plane mode is nothing...

even i had to struggle but in the end we just need few setting in APN thats it.

i enjoyed playing with it but its not that great yet..(m waitling for many thing to run smooth)

i question if anyone knows i used android with sound but still there is no sound on my music....????

i loved winMo more den ever bcoz of it i could use android and winmo together.. :D:D:D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] aavan:
Like said before Android with sound mean android with sound while calling, not with full sound support in multimedia application.

You will have to wait before being able to listen to music on android

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Corwin96:
Just tried out the sound version.

Got UMTS reception and installed apps from the market and what not. This is fantastic! It's the first time I had any hope of seeing a fully working Android on my HD. This one's still very buggy and unstable, and we are missing a few things, but its still a whole lot of fun to play with :D

so Kudos to the good work so far. Though I personally think the project has grown to a level where it should be stickied. That way we'll get some more attention for it hopefully and more help.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] lambstone:
is it possible to drag all the files (from the sound ver) into a folder say... "Android" and then run the haret.exe from within the "Android" folder?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kingofslide54:
I tried it and didn't work... but maybe I did something wrong.

I'm amazed with the progression. As Corwin96 said, it is still a little bit unstable, but very fun, and, when nothing is crashing:D, FAST:eek:! Screen response or browsing speed seem even faster and better than in wm.

As soon as we get sound, I'm sure I'll begin to use Android as much as WM on my Blackstone, instead the bugs and neither wifi nor GPS...

Download the file on my signature

then just extract all contents on your storage card (preferably a 2gb sandisk)

then browse with file explorer and run Haret.exe.

thats it!

But booting linux - stops at text "Failed to find rootfs.img on your SD Card you need to unzip...

/bin.sh: can't acces tty; job control turned off"

and it doesnt go forward, but the phone still responds while I press softkeys(under the screen) !!

EDIT : ignore the not boot thingy!! (the files werent at the root of my SD :D

now it boots!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mc S.H.O.:
i had the same problem a week ago

into the zip file ...there are all the stuff ....rootfs.img ..haret.exe... ect ect ect

put all that files into your storagecard

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] checkeys:
It's working fine on the original sandisk 8 GB card.

Android looks very good, and sound is working perfectly on Vodafone network in the Netherlands.

I noticed the following:

Sometimes (often), the software navigates to the Call log out of nothing, e.g. when tapping on a picture in the image viewer.

I appreciate your work!

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cvchetan:
well android is built with accelerometer support.

the support will be added as the project matures in time.

but important things like charging, proper sound etc come first.

so thts the priority now.

but i must say tht after playing fr abt 1 hr with linux, i m in lov wid it.

Short user report

Hi!

I installed the linked files from Ion Blue into the root of my SD-card. It boots perfectly and I love fiddling with it! Longing for a stable version with more functionality...

But I'm having some problems. Applications hangs (stops answering, forced quits) and the touch screen sometimes feel pretty random. An anoying thing is that entering an APN for internet access, and pressing Save just sends all my input into the void... nothing shows up in the list!

The Home app is crashing all the time.

Is there any information, dumps etc. than can be of use for the developers?

Your effort is REALLY appreciated! This is so cool! :)

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cvchetan:
the apn though does not show up is actually saved.

to access data u need to do the following,

1. be connected to the data conn while starting haret.

2. setup ur apn details.

3. select ur network manually.

4. turn airplane mode on, then off.

5. ull see E/G/3G written near the signal bar.

now u can access data connection.

ya touch screen is a bit random but usable.

the application errors are yet to be looked into.

so fingers crossed..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] aavan:
Well IMHO, the applications crashes are being caused by drivers not fully implemented or bugs in the implementation, so I think that when the hardware will be as fully implemented as in a real android phone (well or at least as close as we can do it) the whole system will be more responsive, my guess it's that it's either the accelerometer or the multimedia functions that causes that many crashes/lock up

if any one has managed to turn backlight off

by any setting coz hardware button of-course doesn't work

be happy to use it for daily use... coz my needs are internet browser which is really cool and fast... phone receiving and calling and text message.

ofcourse we need whole lot of things but its fun for change...from WINMO.

Try to copy all files on root of the card instead of folder TMP and try in my case it worked.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Roadrunner100:
Try Reformatting the SD card, and recopy the files. Once you've done this remove the card from your PC making sure that you've used the Safely Remove Hardware function.

I've found that these cards are easily corrupted by the process of testing Android for some reason.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cyclone_storm:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] patp:
Great stuff, you just made me have a nice morning!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] aavan:
Okay after more extensive testing, it seems applications crashes are less likely, probably because now sound support & vibration are working.

I, however, don't have access to 3g (I don't have a subscription, so 3g costs me a lot) so I can't tell for sure if it still works as before.

The only application still crashing here is Loopt, which - since its a geolocalization application - probably crash because there's no GPS (or maybe it's because I'm not connected on data network ? Since another app using GPS like GPS Status don't crash)

So, there was a HUGE improvement, with power management, I could even use it 90% of the time (I still need wifi and GPS from time to time).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] patp:
3G fine with Tux's latest kernel build. Power drain is the same of course, and Android is far too unresponsive for day-to-day use, but it's impressive how much works isn't it. Anyone know how to work on Android processes, some of them are probably slowing it down as they wait for non-working hardware.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mc S.H.O.:
hello

i have one problem :p

i dont know how to change the APN setting for internet

kpn netherlands

what to do with the startup.txt?

or what to do in the (make a new apn)?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] aavan:
Well, IMHO unless we find a "registry-like" hack (I know there aren't any registry in Linux OS's, it's a metaphor) forcing processes to stop waiting for non implemented hardware will mean that we will have to change a lot of code in those processes and recompile them, if I'm correct it won't be a viable solution since we don't want to get too far from the vanilla branch.

Maybe some motivated people could try and do that, but developers will have to revert those changes once the kernel is stable.

But I may be wrong, in that case, correct me, I'm here to learn what's going on too :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tuxhero:
Android Build which we are using now is very heavy other build from diamond/Raphael which has less applications and very fast are using squashfs based images which is not available in current kernel. I patched kernel with squashfs but still not sure should i commit it or not.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] aavan:
Isn't squashfs a read-only filesystem ? Won't that bring many problems to the table, or will the squashfs image only include a part of the system files that will never change ?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tuxhero:
Yes it's uses for only system files (Most important files).

Booting now with your image! :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kingofslide54:
Hi to everybody.

Sorry if my question is stupid but, what does exactly haret do? I assume it doesn't run linux over windows, but it boots linux from windows "shutting down" windows, isn't it.

So, if I am right, why is it dangeours for the device to boot android from ROM (when it becomes possible) since it's not dangerous when booted via haret? I cant see the difference.

Thanks-
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] aavan:
IIRC, haret boots linux somewhat like a live-cd so Android can access and use the hardware, but can't make permanent change to them, and once you reboot, you're back to windows, so if something went wrong, you still have a backup plan.

If you flash the ROM with android, you just erase your backup plan, if something went wrong, well, too bad for you, you have to buy a new phone !

Since for the moment a lot of things are quite unstable, would you like to risk that ? I'm sure I don't !
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kingofslide54:
Thank you very much!

Of course I woldn't take the risk nowadays. But sure I will when It is moreless safe and others have token it before :p

What I wanted to understand was the difference between haret and "hard booting", and you explained it very well. I didn't know the differences in hardware access, now I do.

Thanks!
