Same same, starts booting with gfx error. like the other, but now its booting.. :)

Tell us what to do, beside donating..

Keep it up..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jim256:
Just donated!

Keep it up thank you! :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xmoo:
Someone try this.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3142354&postcount=194

Mayb when the screen is calibrated the gfx problem will be gone or solved.

I've fixed the calibration on Xperia running Android 1.0

Now i'm going to see if I can fix something with the screen colours and resolution etc.

This mayb would also help for Blackstone once it works for Xperia.

jim256

Added you in the Donations part.

Thx.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jim256:
Hey cool thanks and ya no problem

thank you

Little unclear by what you meant though...as soon as I see all of the white stuff (I assume tiny lines of text) going I tap the screen, and the text stopped but...nothing more. I am just sitting w/ 2/3 of my screen black w/ the upper 1/3 with all the tiny blurred white lines.

How exactly do I try to calibrate? I looked at that video and post much but...still a little lost.

Thanks again,

Jim.

EDIT: I guess I'm just not really sure what the " vsyn blablablabla. " is..?

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Rewpparo:
thanks for the docs, guys, I'll check this out

Orux, could a new mddi client be what we're missing ? if I understand correctly, that's the part linked to the LCD controler

if someone wants to try android, there's an android initrd on the wiki. just put it in your directoryand replace the angstron initrd filename with the android one. Be warned, it's very slow and the color is very distoreded (red shifted),but it looks very encouraging
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kylegordon:
I've actually just tried the raphael Android initrd from here - http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlackstoneLinux#Runningx20.Androidx20.0x2e.8 - and there was certainly some progress. It would boot, give me the console based welcome jargon, screen calibration, and keyboard. After a while though, I would only get a blue bar in the middle of the screen.

Not sure what to do next. Maybe the initrd I was using was old... must find a newer one whilst the cupcake sources replicate to my workstation :-)

nice work orux. Will try them as fast as I can.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] NeoS:
Finally. But that's still with the "not so nice" screen hack, right?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xmoo:
Alright here's the deal!

I used the zImage to boot Android 1.0 on RAM.

I also try to boot Android 1.0 off ram, but the zImage did not include the sd-drivers.

Or mayb it does include the sd-drivers but not the correct one.

After booting, the screen did not response. So I was not able to press anything.

I will go back to the basics and see if I can boot Android 0.8 correctly on RAM.

More info to follow

till now, Nice job Orux. But I think the screen refresh has to be a bit faster tho.

Cause the refresh is very slow.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] orux:
Thanks for your help guys,

There is a mddi epson client driver in .27 kernel, but it is a copy from toshiba mddi client.

I am a bit desperate.

Haret lets hardware untouched.

mddi, mdp and clock registers have got the same value in wince and linux (minus pointers and status). Wince mdp works, linux not.

What is different?

Epson doc, 412 pages :) tell us the function of remote registers. I am going to work with those registers.

I am frustrated, but my determination wins at this moment.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xmoo:
Android 0.8

The touch screen did work on 0.8 but very slow....

Going back to 1.0 :)

Isn't it posible to edit the Diamond/Pro zImage..... To add our screen settings in it and there divers and every thing. Cause on my succelfulst booth on the Touch HD. I had the correct colour, booted from SD, screen calibrated. The only thing was the screen being messed up....

Take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zgC9vNrjIU

Sd does not work with this kernel. I am not sure, but I think it is disabled.

If you want to test Android 1.0, mem parameter in default.txt is conservative. Perhaps you need increase it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Snofs:

Will try some more tests, to see if I can get the screen to respones.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] patp:
Nice to see a picture of it; I presume this is thanks to Orux careful work getting the screen "working" - we won't have anything usable until he or someone equally talented and persistent figures out how to do it using the MDP.

Now, it seemed a few pages back that there is a document which might really help with this, and the only reason it's not available is that it costs a few bucks. Why don't we all donate whatever it costs so Orux can buy it?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xmoo:
What file are you talking about??

Orux did not try it with android, I tried it on android.

Edited somethings but nothing works when Android 1.0 boots.

Only the home screen is showing, nothing else.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] orux:
Dont worry about this doc, thanks to avimak :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] NeoS:
That means the touchscreen isn't initiated. Didn't someone get that working? Besides, did you guys check on other threads like the Polaris or Raphael? I bet they've got something to get you on your way. ;)

The Touch Screen did work in 0.8 but very slow.

But on 1.0 it does not work!

Good Going

I just have to say: KUDOS! to the people working on this. I really hope its possible to get a complete implementation of Android running on the HD.

I donated to the people who did the USPL/SPL and i will donate even heavier to this project if it yields results, i urge everyone else who wants to see this thing happen pledge to do the same.

Keep up the good work.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] JanSchotsmans:
Once I get Linux booting with a decent console (don't really need android, its a plus for cellphone use) I'll be trying to port a bunch of Linux apps and libraries to work with this kernel.

For example, instead of using Android + Browser for surfing the web, I'd rather have my phone drop out of that GUI and use an FB enabled Links.

The ideal will be that all statuses and messaging can be used with just a console so that any GUI (be it Andoid or Gnome or whatever) is just an graphical front that doesn't really have any other function then represent the data.

That way, if GUI crashes, all function of the phone still works and all you need to do is restart the GUI.

Now if Windows CE hangs in any way, even if its just a sticky menu, your phone hangs.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] daniel.hunt:
No doubt you're sick of hearing this by now xmoo, but the file that you link to in the first post still cause HaRet to lock up the phone once the progress bar reaches 100%

Is it to do with how you're uploading them? Could you try tar'ing the whole lot and uploading that tarball instead?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xmoo:

If you looked back 2 pages, you will see that i'm gonna try to upload the files 2night!!

I'm uploading the on-ram and off-ram version of Android 1.0

on-ram boots, Android 1.0 starts, but the screen freezes.

off-ram does boot, but Android 1.0 does not start, cause the sd-card isn't working (Not in kernel??).....

Just extract the zip files on ur sd card and boot it.

If it does not work and everything, well not my problem (Sry cause it's buggin me, that when I test it on more devieces it works, but you at home are saying it does not work).

On my deviece it works, and also on the deviece of a friend of my.

He is using Dutty's 1.7, I'm using something I can't tell (yet). Have to wait for the rom to officialy release on xda. (Plz don't ask, cause I'm not saying anything!)

The files are around 70mb. With spanish internet.... They will be up in 3hours orso....
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] daniel.hunt:
1: It's not a problem at all if it doesn't work, don't worry. I understand how frustrating something like this can be, especially when you're so restricted with bandwidth

3: That's an incredibly slow upload speed :( Shame

Off-ram boots from ur SD-Card.

On-ram boot from ur phone memory.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xmoo:
Well some developers have got Android to work on netbooks (Smaal laptops) And those screens are much bigger than the Touch HD screen.

Here's the plan. I'ma upload the on-ram now. The off-ram i'm going to upload to night. Cause it takes a long time.

Please try, and give feedback.

Remember once booted you have to calibrate ur screen, when Android is booting it takes a lot of time, I think it's cause of the screen (doesn't refresh that fast).

With the small change I made on the new file I'm uploading... The Touch Screen does WORK!!

But very very slow!!

File is at 80%, also made a Youtube video of the whole booting proces etc.

Will upload that on Youtube when the file had been uploaded 100%.

Also BigDaemon is correct, this is not the fix itself...

But one thing guys, Xperia and Touch HD have the same Android colour issue.

With the diamond kernel the Touch HD screen is messed up, but the colours are correct!

So we need to edit some kernels etc.

a) find the difference in in the Kernels of Diamond and XPeria/HD to solve the color-problem

b) still need to find out WHY the screen is messed up and how to solve it (and of course solve it ;-) )

c) if THIS is done, we can start on working on Android to get it running with al functions and so on

And guys, please, if you just wanna ask if something works or how, just WAIT.

If you TESTED anything and want to tell us the results (and what you tested) or you found something useful on the net or just have an idea or something, THEN post.

This thread has over 40 sites and not even the half of it is useful i guess.....

Take me as an example, i just post if i find something or have an idea OR wanna comment some not so useful posts from you ;-)

Don´t misunderstand me, i just wanna see the process of the developers in this thread, which is difficult for me (and the developers as well i guess) if there are just question on how something works to boot or if they made any results or something, and some maybe usefull ideas get lost in the masses....
