[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Rayzer HD:
hi i think it doesnt work, because this emulator is only for testing your developed apps and the emulator have no hardware behind them and thats the point which is useless for us ;)

android should work on a HD not on an emulator :) (on x1 it work partly...?)

resolution problem

hi

i don`t think the problem is resolution , simply because of 2 reasons :

1. i tried the x1`s Andriod image ,it boots but the display is still blurry

2. i tried passing many many different types of kernel boot parameters (like "vga=") to set the resolution, i did see different blurs , but didn't get it to work :(

my new direction is that the refresh rate is incorrect .

but i dont actually know where (or how) do i set it in a standard Linux system (didnt have any problems with it in real machines) so i couldn't actually try anything yet.

any ideas on this issue are welcome . this is my best guess for now

p.s my first post on xda ...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ultimasnake:
Hi, i'm really looking forward to this working. I'm willing to test this, i have some minor linux knowledge (and speak dutch, seeing that the author is duthc it might help sometimes)...

I activated email notification and am waiting for the first "working" version so we could test it...

Android 1.0 Did get booted (other files)

Trough SD :D

So we now know that the Touch HD has no problem running Android trough SD card... (AWESOME NEWS!!!)

But still the screen is messed up.

Still trying other things.

Will upload the files 2morrow night...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cyclone_storm:
Hey hey thats really good news. :D :D :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MacDegger:
Wow, xmoo, you're doing awesome things :)

I was wondering though; once you get everything running (and I don't doubt you will be able to), how difficult would it be to integrate android updates like the cupcake branch? Is that just a question of recompiling everything and it working due to drivers already having been ported, or would it take (much) more than that?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xb00t:
Fantastic to see any progress. So whats causing the display problems? Resolution, calibration, drivers?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jim256:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Caid444:
Does that mean we'll have working up down left right abilities with the phone? I've been able to press up and down with the volume, but no left and right. It'd also kinda suck if we were always having to alternate between volume controls and another button set on the phone to get full directional input. And onscreen d pad would be nice for games at least. But... one step at a time of course. I'm most looking forward to making a call from Android. I sent my wife some sms's last night (at about 1:30am) while she was in the room. She wasn't as impressed as I was, because it woke up our newborn.

Anyway, thanks to the devs for a reason to be happy about my phone.

Caid.

edit. Will we have a standby button soon? I've noticed the power drain to be pretty significant while running android.

I get a lot of sms's in a day, and only my wife calls (which I usually ignore...) so I'd like to put it into android mode and leave it that way for a day to give it a feel.

The only way i know to get Android on the HD with the Transcend card is to buy an other card :o

is it possible to get slideit http://www.shapewriter.com/software.html work on android? Would be nice, because its a real software input that works great and is available for android
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] patp:
Please all, patience. The problem of SD card incompatibilities is known and some great people are working on it. If it can be fixed, it will be.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] patp:
Installing apps is happening for other ports, eg Vogue. They couldn't get Shapewriter to work due to resolution issues. I gather not all apps work cleanly in ports but we can hope.

Why not try installing something?

Thats what I did this morning ;-) For fixing the bug I need a running OS so I went to my local dealer and bought a 1GB MicroSD Card for 3.95€ which simply works. (SD! Not SDHC)

Now I'll try to HotPlug after booting.

hi sry don't blame me if this was discussed already...

i tried to boot android 1.0 as described in the wiki

but it only gets to the point where a line say sth about android

an the next few lines are error messages, like no mkdir found, no shell found, no dbus found etc... and then it stops... do i have to be more patient then 5 minutes to wait for the booting going on? but so far my linux knowledge is quiet good to know that this won't go on...

if you need more infos, plz tell me

So the Sandisk who are shipped are class2 the Transcend Class4 or Class6. So it can be possible that not Transcend is the problem but the high class????

Can't you use a long press of like the volume rocker to bring up the menu?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jewstie:
Great its even working in Dutch !:D Got the same as everyone here with the calling and the texting. Noticed that when a call is made from android to another phone and you hang up it automaticly opens the searching for networkdialog. So although texting works and it says it found the Telfort network (one of the Dutch providers) he isnt able to fully register on it. So there is probably something to find there with the callingproblem.

Noticed that there is an occasional red line on the top off the screen to. Last thing i noticed is that the calibration is slightly of. Is it possibly to correct this? You dont have to callibrate in the black boot screen like before..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xmoo:

Ok now i have one problem. I have copie all the files to my Touch HD and start the haret.exe. All works fine and linux is starting up but at the start of linux it fress and do nothing, (i have wait more then 10 min).

After mor then 10 min a make a soft reset of my Touch HD. Now i have the problem that i can't start all programms (*.exe) what are stored at my SD card.

All the times if i want start one of that it shows a error message like this:

After that i have do a seft reset agan but every time the same.

The SD Card is a ScanDisk 8GB what was shipped with the phone.

Have any one a solution for this problem?

Thanks,

Nico

hangs at mmcblk;p1

===============================

I am getting this problem as well. It seems to be intermittent in some ways. I got it first with this latest version when trying on RAM, one of the chaps in the DEV thread told me to try offram, that worked a few times but now i am back to this problem again. I initially solved it "again" by closing explorer before clicking run on haret, that worked a few times and now again it doesnt. This is very odd indeed. It is as if something is getting corrupted somewhere in the installation files. TO test this I deleted everything and low and behold when i tried again it worked a few times and now I am back to it not booting again. I Wonder if anyone can explain this?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] altimas2.5:
Works greats

fixed problem after move the tem folder to sd root

packman doesn't work when press play it load and then gets back,

But the biggest problem you must rest it manual

it will be excllent to have a rest program or shourtcut on android

I may find the solution for people having intermitent working android on their devices.

I noticed that after i restarted android during booting it's files may become corrupt and next boot may not be succefull.

The solution to this is simply to "reinstall" android. This means delete tmp folder and recopy it from the destkop (from original download).

I hope it worked for you.

Solution for card problem!!!

i played now for 2 days on it and i found out, its not the card!

Get a partition management program and check that the card is a primary partition and not a logical partition! if it is, reformat or convert it to an primary!

If you see mmcblk: p1 - all will work fine, but

if you see mmcblk: p1 <p5> - it won't load the e2img files
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] patp:
Sadly, I think you're not right. My Transcend 8GB has a single primary partition and is not recognised.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] schreda:
i tried to convert it back to check that i'm right! and i'm now 100% sure!

are YOU sure that the sd card is not an extended or logical partition???

which programm did you used?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sosojerk:
I see mmcblk: p1 only and gets stuck in there.Sandisk 8gb, but no idea if its primary partition or not.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] schreda:
on this issue there is no perfect solutioon yet!

simply push the red reset button with the stylus and if winmo restarted try it again!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] scottyuk:
I think you might be onto something!! I've never been able to boot android, and i've tried different cards, i've just re-partitioned one on my cards to primary and finally i've managed to boot android!!!

It didn't boot first time, and it was stuck on mmcblk: p1, but i tried it again and it got past that bit and booted.

Thanks schreda! :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] schreda:
so we only have to fix the bug that it hangs at mmcblk0: p1
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hcgulp:
I don't have this mmcblk0: p1 problem anymore. Only thing i did was to close the "File Explorer" before statring Haret.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] gerdgerdgerd:
i tried to close my browser bevor i press harte run. but there is still the same problem. it can't find files, can't mount the sd card. so i thing its still a driver problem.

Did it mate!!! 9 times and no success.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] scottyuk:

I put this in the "other information" field:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] body85:
same for me... but only ONRAM.. off ram didnt work... Transcend :-P
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Glideh:
I assume we put "Yes" for SDHC and "No" for HC
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Micr0mega:
That was my first thought too, but after I re-read, I understood actually SDHC and HC are the same. So answer "Yes" if you have (SD)HC an "No" if you only have SD :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Glideh:
Ha yes indeed, I thought it was "SD" :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] patp:
Sorry guys, the questionnaire's not going to help - they don't give the raw data. If people could just post here with the same info it would achieve the same end, I will collate it:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] patp:
I have a lot of sympathy with this position! It owuld be good to know if it's just Transcend that f-up.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] scottyuk:
Its definitely not just transcend cards, i have some generic looking sd cards, and none of them would boot android.

That’s was until I re-partition them and made them a primary partition, now it’s booting fine.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Glideh:
After reading all the posts, I think that (without formatting the SD)

Transcend are working for nobody. And all others work. (for people

I get this using a SanDisk Class 4, I did get another version to work fine though, so I can't figure out what the cause is, but I'm assuming it's not the card if it can run the other version fine.

Edit, just tried it with a Class 2 San Disk and it all worked fine, guess it was the card.

WM not working properly after Android

Hi,

I wanted to see for myself and see if I could provide any useful feedback, so I downloaded the "cupcake" zipfile from the Wikipages and followed instructions.

Everything seemed ok except from:

* Could not disable PIN, and therefore not start Android properly. I knew this was necessary from the wiki but tried anyway.

* After resetting the phone, WM has problems with installed software. None of the applications I have installed in WM will start. WM complains of a missing certificate or component.

Could Android have messed up the available memory on the device? To make things worse, it's not possible to reinstall from the cabfiles I've kept on the memorycard. Hard reset?

Memorycard: SanDisk 8 Gb Class 4

Stock ROM (norwegian)

Keep up the good work, guys! Much appreciated. I'll slip you some donations later. :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] akzent:
I've had the same problem although with an older version of Android. It is really annoying and the only solution seems to be a hard reset. I've tried other things like the device security manager from the windows mobile sdk, but they all fail because the device is so locked down that you can't start anything but the default applications that come with the phone. I've tried numerous things and wasted a whole day, so trust me: hard reset is your only option atm.

Does anyone from the developers have any idea how this might happen?

Unfortunatly this bug does seem to occure rather randomly, so it might not be easily reproducible and therefore difficult to fix.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] pichurri:
First if somebody is wants to do donations, have a look at the developers thread and see who is doing the development, donate to these ppl, plz, not to somebody that is not doing development. Although, some are not really interested in money, but in getting android to run in our device, :). In any case, the dev thread is at:

Now, for the signed apps problem, I solved it with Default_Signed_DisableSecurity.CAB. I forgot where I got it, I'm sure it was inside the xda wiki or forums. Search for it there, and if you want to collaborate in the development and easiness of installing android on Blackstone, plz add a link, instructions and experiences to the wiki:
