Battery Charging

I just upgraded my radio from 1.14.25.24 (protocol: 52.64.25.34U) to 1.17.25.09 (protocol: 52.69.25.37U) and suddenly my android (1.5 from earlier with kernel build from git) started showing that it is charging the battery. Phone and data connection still works.

You can find the radio here:

does your rom has the transcend card fix ?

im try a lot method and not work
[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.

Hi, can you tell me what and where to find the transcend card fix?

There is no fix for transcend cards as of now..

the prblem is that when using a transcend card to boot into linux the card is not recognized..

Sound Issues

Sound did not work for me on any Kernel version that had sound enabled. I tried

All

available Android builds, and the results were always the same, either device hangs, or reboots. Once I rebooted WM, it would also hang needing at least 2 SR to boot properly.

SOLVED:

The

Solution

was to disable all sounds in WM (Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications) prior to booting android. Once this was done, I could boot Android with Sound.

Re enabling sounds in WM, reproduced the same hangs in Android.

The emerging picture on my device is that WM keeps sound ports/drivers exclusive (if sound and notifications are enabled in WM) when booting into Android, and would not release them to Android.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] galileo8fr:

Battery Charging Observations

This is what I have noticed about the phone charging...

1) If I have nothing connected to the usb port at the point in time when I'm in WinMo and start Haret then, when I get into Android, absloutely nothing is happening when I plug in/out my charger - i.e. the orange/green light on the power button does not light up and the battery icon on the status bar does not change.

However...

2) If I have my charger connected to the usb port at the point in time when I'm in WinMo and start Haret then, when I get into Android, it kind of works... the battery icon on the status bar accurately reflects whats happening - if shows a plug when the charger is connected and updates to remove the plug when I disconnect the charger. However the orange light on the power button remains lit up even when I plug out the charger.

update: Also noticed that the lock screen is updated correctly (i.e. showing "Charging xx%") for scenario (2)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cvchetan:
but this was not the case with me..

snd works always, even with snd enabled in win mo
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] idandush:
checked it also , you are right ! , but if it can be charged , why wont the power managment also effect the screen O_O ?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cvchetan:
both versions are with sound...

but the interfaces of both are a bit different...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cvchetan:
camera has not been fix or looked into yet..

other important things like touch screen, power management r to be looked into first..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cvchetan:
a veiw into this might be tht whenever the orange led glows, the usb is detected else not.

thus if we find a way to control the led via linux then it might be possible to use the usb to charge it..

later reverse programming can help to make the led glow when the usb is plugged in..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jut07:
hi,

just to report that the calibrate screen doesn't work anymore.

compare with previous zimage, the latest one is more stable.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cvchetan:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] brumbrum:
Is it possible to create a minimalistic WM-rom that instead of loading complete WM instead have all settings correct for best working android, then let it auto-start Android using Haret?

in that way we can start create "fake-roms" with android for the Blackstone without bricking the mobile since it still would be possible to access flash-mode and reflash the device when needed? We could, by using this way, maybe put all files on device instead of using the SD-card, making android work for all that have none-working SD-cards?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] lambstone:
It should be possible. Like autorun on boot. However it'll take really long to boot android since it'll have to boot WM then boot android.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] darkdominus:
Tried those parameters and still no go... :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mwchadwick:
not sure that they are connected... When I start Haret with the charger connected the orange light stays on all the time even when I plug the charger in and out - but the battery icon in the status bar is updated correctly -> it does get the "battery with plug" icon set when I plug in the charger and changes back to the "battery icon only" when I plug it out
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] El Massman:
put a shortcut to haret in /Windows/Startup

it wont even get to the windows gui before haret kicks in and loads up. you get the 'smart mobility' screen, htc splash, windows splash and then over that the haret: booting linux box. works seamlessly. then when you want to boot into windows, just take out the memory card before you turn on the phone. doesn't seem to affect android at all by not booting windows all the way.

EDIT: saying that, i don't see why when it's fully working there couldn't be a really minimalistic rom with the shortcut already in place and maybe android customised splashes on the windows side just to complete the look. i'm currently using miri's latest rom without manila and that seems to do the job just fine.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cvchetan:
but i think the led enables the usb port or in other words opens the port so tht linux can access it and the determine tht it is charging or not...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mwchadwick:
Further Charging Observations...

After a little more testing I can confirm the following;

Our current image does not appear to control the led in the power button...

- If the led if "off" when you start Haret it will say off permanently in Andriod.

- If it is on and orange (charging - not 100%) then it will stay on and orangle

while in Android

- If it is on and green (charger connect but not charging - batt 100%) then it will stay on and green while in Android

On the battery icon and lock screen...

(1) - If you start Haret while a charger is connected (and your battery is not yet 100% charged - led will be orange) then Android will correctly set the battery icon on the status bar and the lock screen

(2) - If you start Haret without a charger connect or with it connected but your battery is 100% charged (led is green) then Android will ignore the connection/removal of your charger and will not update the icon on the status bar/lock screen.

I'm guessing from this that there is some interal switch/setting like "charging = true", for (1), ["charging = false" for (2)] that if charging is "true" when in WinMo when Haret started then Android is "aware" of connection/removal of a charger - otherwise it is not "aware" and therefore ignores these events.

The ION is newer, it supports sound from the loudspeaker, it can use the volume buttons too.

The older "sound" build doesn't do this, use the latest ION variant instead.

Yes I realize that it didn't effect many if at all, as there were no posts over this issue. However, since I was able to solve it I thought it was worth while for others to know. This problem is empirically consistent on my device (Stock ROM) and may offer some insight to Devs.

Ah so many builds and all kept in all kind of links given randomly in posts.

I like the idea of

http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/blackstone/

were we can follow the evolution but still so many branches ..

How many branches of Andriod do we have now for Blackstone?

I know 1.6 compiled nothing works, one with sound but has ticking noise, another one with sound but sound is OK, another one on which I tried to enable 3G, then there is the link above which is updated almost daily ... it's just crazy. Can't we go linear?

Please don't take this as criticism ... I am very happy we have so many ppl working on this ... but why not work together on one single build?

Robert
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cvchetan:
i get ur idea.

its great..

but the links u posted r to dnload zimages.

these r used along wid packages.

so the package dosent matter..

its the zimage.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] demon83ft:
Hi Guys,

I would gladly test and give feedback if you can clarify a few things for me :

1. what is a package?

2. what is a zImage .. I guess the kernel plus drivers ..

3. why tux package is 800x480 and others are 320x240

4. what is 1.4/1.5/1.6?

Regards,

Robert
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tuxhero:
zImage is as u said kernel plus drivers

packages like http://kimoshi.net/BLAK100_ANDROID_14.10.2009.zip is full Kernel(zImage) + Android and tool needed to start kernel. kernel will start android.

package like http://abimanyu.in/android/zImage-keyfix.tar.gz is only kernel u need to replace zImage in Full Android + Kernel package

all build support 480x800

1.4 1.5 1.6 are Android Versions

We write kernel code and Google write Android code
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cvchetan:
i hop the previous post also helps u clarify ur doubts...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] demon83ft:
Things are getting clearer :). I do appreciate your patience ..

How can I tell if a package is 1.6/1.5/1.4?

I still don't seem to be able to charge my device using BLAK100_ANDROID_14.10.2009.zip

What is the difference between packages .. should we just get one and stick to it .. and keep changing zImages?

Robert
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cvchetan:
fr charging.. connect the charger whn u r in win mo.

then run haret..

u can jus keep 1 pkg n keep updating the zimage..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DarkStone1337:
Charging is kinda broken at the moment, don't expect it to work.

You can check the version by booting into android, going to settings, about phone. It should tell you either 1.5/1.6 etc

Packages are there for people who have never downloaded any of the files before. If you already have the files on your SD card, all you need to do is swap the zImage for further updates :P
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] demon83ft:
OK .. thanks guys ... you got me up to speed .. hopefully I can contribute with some testing ..

one last thing ..

I understood that the kernels here are 1.5

http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/blackstone/

Why is than somebody mentioning 1.6?

I thought they are not compatible.

Rob
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DarkStone1337:
No idea why, the packages I upload are 1.5.

1.6 is newer but 1.5 is being focused on more at the moment.

I think at this point, the version is irrelevant. A lot of things still need fixing (like power consumption/wifi/charging etc.). Once those are done, it's likely that newer versions will be used.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] itchy8me:
1.5 is the android build, the kernel build is 2.6.27..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] gringo313:
Hi

No language with new build ???
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kingofslide54:
Couple of things...

Testing ION with the last zimage (dialer fix)

When I'm using the device, sometimes the speaker makes a noise, like when plugging or unplugging earphones. It doesnt match screen taps or other events, and it doesnt soun when i'm not using it.

When connecting it to the USB, battery icon doesn't change and doesn't show it's charging, but it looks like it actually does, because after a while the battery level increases...

I'm very excited with all that stuff... a month ago I was sure we were never going to be able to run Android as main OS, now I'm sure we will!:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cvchetan:
the batter level changes at random..

to test remove usb cable and watch the battery meter...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DarkStone1337:
The sound is caused by the speaker being turned on and off. You can prevent this from happening by turning off the audible selection setting if you look under sound and display settings.

Once it's off, you shouldn't hear any more popping noises. :p
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tuxhero:
I am currently working on LCD On and Off support. After finishing i will try to get more stable audio and USB.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kingofslide54:
Ok, I noticed it...

Do you know if it actually charges? The "hero like" package, with the first speaker-ok zimage, worked well for me...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kingofslide54:
Thanks, It worked and I understood why it happened. I like both things:D

Thank you again for all your work, Tux!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cvchetan:
did tht charge properly. with actual indications on the screen??
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kingofslide54:
Yes it did. I don't remember if it was plugged when I booted Haret, maybe it was. But the fact is that it behaved well and icon updated telling wether it was

charging or not.

Edit: 3G connections seems less stable with this distro and kernel, too.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cvchetan:
similar opinions abt 3g connections..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] younxta:
I'm having problems with the ION package and get an error while booting with haret. The previous packages all worked fine. When i extract the files to storage root haret doesn't even load. When extracting the files to a map haret starts, but hang on a black screen.

What am i doing wrong? Must i extract the map to root or the files in the blac_ion map to root?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DarkStone1337:
A map?....

Where did you download this build? :S What link?

I noticed that cvchetan's links has some sort of OSX folders in them. I don't know if that interferes or not.

Here's a link to my build: http://gamesquare.co.uk/blackstone/android/BLAK100_ANDROID_14.10.2009.zip
