the Xperia X1 has 128mb dedicated graphics memory (separate from the usual ROM/RAM).

Sony paid for the graphics drivers, unlike HTC and so there are more differences with the X1 than you may think.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jewstie:
Is there not a trick we can pull to get these x1 drivers to work on Touch HD just as with the Diamond ATI drivers? I don't know whats the deal with that. But those drivers are the difference between a working VR Hologram app and a non-working VR Hologram app. Something to look into you think?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] p3ngwin:
if that indeed is true then according to the HTC 2009 lineup leak recently, we should be in for some treats regarding hardware specs for the rest of the year, and that's not including TI, Samsung, Asus, etc making cool devices based on OMAP, FREESCALE,MARVEL, SNAPDRAGON....

all i really want is a decent device like my TOUCH HD to have the damn full drivers to use the full s.o.c. potential.

Hey Xmoo do you have something new for us??
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xmoo:

Why is every noob looking for an answer they could get reading a thread?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cyclone_storm:
Indeed I read it as well, that is really great news. The only sad thing is that

it´s not the 2.0 release and no multi touch. But there are a few other cool

new things.:D:D:D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sjoerd_t_B:
No, it's not that i'm that impasient. I've followed this thread from when it was only on page 60 and I never posted anything because i know i don't understand much of kernel developing.

But....I read 3 people where trying to make the sound work on blackstone with the hints they got from Cr2. I'm just curius if there's any progress so i can give it a go myself. So stop *****ing, my post is a lot more usefull then yours.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] patp:
I compiled the up-to-date source last night, but unfortunately no sound still on blackstone. Of course, as a complete amateur I may not have done everything right, and so far I can't figure out how to connect over SSH to get the dmesg off, so my attempt is not that helpful!

If anyone knows how to get RNDIS drivers working for Windows (or Ubuntu in a vbox) I'd be grateful.

Touch HD 2

Hi

i am following the android adventure for Touch HD since i bought it (the day it came out in france).

I'd like to thank again dutty for what he's doing with WinMo, but once android is working on my device i will be SURE to kiss WinMo good bye.

Which leads me to the subject of this post, rumors a getting stronger and stronger about a Touch HD 2 with android (and a very minor tweak of the CPU that looks more like a marketing scam to sell the same device with another OS instead of giving the choice to the former clients);

does that mean that the guys from HTC (who are actually paid to do what the Devs of XDA are doing for free (thank again guys for all the amazing job)) are working on making android work ? And does it mean that we'll be able to just take their work and port it to our devices ?

Also i've noticed lately that less and less news are coming about the Android Project at XDA, is it related to the fact that the job is being done by HTC or is it that the Project is just dead ?

Thank you for reading and answering if you can.

no. the touch hd 2 is a different device. it isnt as easy as simply copying over the OS
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sosojerk:
No mate.

Android on HD will never happen.I don't want to be bad, but only realistic.

I'll bet my HD that you are not going to see Android running on it ever never.

Just buy an Android device and get over with it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] superseagull:
are you sure about that?!

really? cos the word is that is indeed the same hardware bar the faster cpu (+100mhz)? if this is correct, i think our resident chefs won't take too long to squeeze it onto our HD classics...keeping the dream alive!

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kva:
Just wait a bit - hopefully proper defconfig for blackstone will be in git repo soon. Anyway sound is not working on latest code, but cr2 told that it is not related to sound code - it is something else which prevents sound from working.

hello guys, any news from our beloved developers as to where we stand?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cr2:
Remove sapphire from .config

Your device is blackstone.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cr2:
It's not related to the RPC and ADSP code, they work as expected.

Sound disappears somewhere on the way from DAC/codec to the speaker.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tids2k:
are the alsa drivers and codec any good for testing ... compatability ??
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Zwonzen:
yeah...ive made this yesterday by myself... im really silly:D

dwardzyn:

1. you are a hero for actually getting stuck in and persevering. I tried but I don't have the time or skills.

2. I currently can't get the sources to compile. will you release a kernel build for us to play with? I gather from irc that dzo's android build might be able to access audio.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dwaradzyn:
1. all the credits should go to cr2 as he was the one with patience and knowledge. thanks cr2!

2. here you are
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] patp:
Fantastic, will try. Managed to compile using current git and your patch from last night, but it hangs at msmfb_probe()

Have you heard any noise in android? I was going to try the old cupcake, and maybe one of the recent diamond distros

update - well the only android I could get to boot gave massive screen corruption, so I guess something else got broke on the way!

update2 - seems MMC is not enabled in this kernel?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mc S.H.O.:

is this the version to test on my blackstone???

Try to reduce the max SD clock speed to 24MHz. The standard values are hardcoded, use module parameters to change it (drivers/mmc/host/msm_sdcc.c)

static unsigned int msmsdcc_fmax = 32000000;

Sorry I was wrong .. I have both one Sandisk and one Transcend and had Transcend in use... (works with Sandisk but not with Transcend)

Any idea?

KlausFindus
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] patp:
The kernel image from dwaradzyn does not appear to support mmc cards - the builds from February did, but something has changed since then. Hopefully it's a simple matter and dwaradzyn will be able to fix it soon. Earlier build specifically did not support the Transend sd cards and I don't think anyone figured out why.

Regarding Android, the suggestion is that we use one of the Vogue builds. This means we have to get mmc working and then make some changes so that it is correctly referenced in the filesystem.

There's also another issue with dwardzyn's kernel - I could boot into Android 0.8 from main memory, but when the screen changed from console to GUI it became corrupted. Not as bad as the original problems we had, but it's not correctly initializing.

In summary, we can't do much until we solve

Screen corruption

MMC

Reconfigured Android build.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jarski:
I'm able to boot raphael system.img (from connect UTB ver. 20090909) with dwaradzyn's kernel zImage. However android informs immediately "Power off" shutting down.. Don't know how to get rid of that. My startup cmdline is:

set cmdline "root=/dev/ram0 init=/ console=tty0 mem=76M msmsdcc_id=2 zmgdevname=/dev/mmcblk0p1 imgdevnum=1 imgdir=/ msmts_calib=0x395.0x3d1.0x79.0x77 msmvkeyb_toggle=off"

ps. takes while to boot (3-4mins) and there will be blank screen only with tiny underscore at left upper corner, be patient.

pps. It was actually whole raphael package (connect UTB ver. 20090909), only zImage from dwaradzyn.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] patp:
Interesting - I will try with this setup.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ASK768:
dont worry about getting this to run on your device. it wont be feature full nor can it be ensured to work. this is mainly for devvers or those very curious. as it is, you would need a linux environment to get it to work anyway.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dwaradzyn:
MMC - works fine for me. The fact that you can run wiki android 1.0 means that it works fine at the kernel level. What's the exact symptom you are getting?

Screen corruption in 0.8 - this build is very old and buggy. I think we should forget it now.

Other android builds - I only tried one of the connect-utb builds and there was some error within initrd scripts and it returned to shell. It is not a priority now - not addressing that atm.

There are two things I would like to address now:

Audio - according to cr2 the audio paths have to be corrected.

MDDI init issues causing crash at boot time sometimes.

I would like to do that but I need guidance and I only have a little time (an hour or two per day, not everyday).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dwaradzyn:
I'm attaching two kernels with reduced MMC max speed. Transcend guys: could you test and report here?

edit: to be clear: those kernel does not bring sound in android.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Budadank:
Neither kernel works with my transcend 8GB Class 6. Sorry dwaradzyn.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Zwonzen:
same here:(

could you tell us where u did changes pls?

ehm another question.. if i got an error like ""msmfs_probe()" + something with my panel" ... did i have passed the mmc part then or am i in front of this step??

i dont get it :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] idandush:
tried this zImage , yet its with no GUI :(

so i cant check anything else anyway .
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] patp:
Weird. I get no mmc even using the 4gb Sandisk that was working previously. I'll try your newer builds.

nb I have not been able to get any of the mmc builds of android to build with your kernel.

can you tell me your default.txt cmdline?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mblancom:
Same here. Had to reset because it did not power off.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Zwonzen:

http://www.transcendusa.com/Support/DLCenter/Datasheet/TSxxUSDHCx.pdf

there are listed some bus-timings

does anybody know which one to use?

and how to set this in kernel?

could be solve the problem
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dwaradzyn:
Nice find. After a quick skim I think max clocks are 25MHz and 50MHz. Not sure if this will solve the problem but I will post test builds with that clocks later today.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dwaradzyn:
I don't use anything unusual:

set cmdline "msmts_calib=0x395.0x3c9.0x79.0x77 msmvkeyb_toggle=off"
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] patp:
Where does one define this in the source, I have time to build.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dwaradzyn:
Its in msm_sdcc.c, cr2 said that on two pages back on this thread. I'm attaching two builds. Please report if that helps for the MMC.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] scanny:
MMC still won't work...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Budadank:
Nope, still no MMC here either. Sorry dwaradzyn.

I was able to boot from an 8GB Sandisk last night though, and saw Android 1.0 with no display corruption at all - looked very nice. It also seemed to be the Blackstone's native resolution, which is odd since I thought that was only implemented in Android 1.6?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] patp:
Don't we do this with parameters in the default.txt:

set cmdline="msmsdcc_fmax=25000000 msmts_calib=0x395.0x3d1.0x79.0x77 msmvkeyb_toggle=off"
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jarski:
Guys, I think that CONFIG_HTC_FB_CONSOLE_BOOT=y is missing from htcblackstone_defconfig? Also I guess that my "Power off, shutting down.." problem in android is due HTC battery driver. Altough dmesg says "HTC Battery Driver initialized".
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] yoerik:
compiled latest kernel with CONFIG_HTC_FB_CONSOLE_BOOT=y and it boots.

Just tested and ik works great on android 1.0 (quite responsive!).

On the latest android from connect UTB i too get the power down message.

Any thoughts on with kernel option this might be (or give me a general direction.

I can compile the kernel quiet quick (now i have a dedicated laptop for this at work :) )

How do i reset in the android 1.0? (or is this only possible bij reset button at the back?)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Zwonzen:
could it be that my sd card formatted for the wrong file system?

or are the drivers missing in our kernels
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dwaradzyn:
CONFIG_HTC_FB_CONSOLE_BOOT means "Use console only during boot". If it is enabled framebuffer handover is much earlier and overall boot time is much shorter (about 30 secs). I did not notice any difference in working/not working hardware by changing this option. Currently because of speed I have it enabled.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Zwonzen:
thanks dude..now i can start my own compiled kernel..but still get stuck @ mcc1 timeout in fact of my transcend card :(

so far i know yes
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dwaradzyn:
It is hard to tell from your reports. Could you provide ram_console dump after booting linux? Check yesterday irc log (me and patp) on how to do this.

The problem patp reported is at kernel to hardware level. Its cause is certainly not related to card contents.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] patp:
This SD card thing is a headache, it's distracting from the importatn business of audio. Much as I would love to get SD sorted, I'd encourage you to pursue sound. If I needed to buy a different sd card it would not bother me.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Zwonzen:
admin delete pls
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] El Massman:
what exactly is this sd problem? i for one have always been able to boot into android but from there i've never been able to access my sd card. when people are talking about having their sd card working is this what they mean or have people actually been accessing their cards from within android? anyway, the blackstones internal storage has more than enough room to fit android. why don't we run it from there? the issue of what memory card people have becomes irrelevant, or at least until a time when the more pressing problems have been dealt with anyway. i've run android from the phone in the past and it's worked no problem. what are the advantages of running from sd card anyway and why do so many people do it this way?

regards,

marc
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] patp:
Current builds we might use run from SD.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Zwonzen:
ok, "dmesg | grep sdd" shows me that my sd card is writeable

but

when i use
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jarski:
Yes, I think El Massman is right. It should work from internal storage as well. Like diamond packages from connect UTB. Startup.txt should be tweaked tho.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dwaradzyn:
I think the current support for NAND is not completed at kernel level. Diamonds beside internal NAND memory have 4GB internal storage. This storage is seen in linux as MMC and diamonds boot from it not from the NAND (afaik).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Zwonzen:
has everybody access to #htc-linux ??

Thanks, for the first time Android is up and running!

I abandoned the 8GB Transcend card and used a Sandisk 2GB newly formatted to FAT32 and 32 kilobyte sectors. I substituted the Zimage file included in Cupcake with yours (the first posted, not the slower versions), and presto - Android 1.5 up and running. Fcukin Amazing!

No sound.

No Bluetooth.

No Wirless.

Reception indicator at top right of the screen shows full 4 bars, but phone setup is unable to find carrier nor establish data connection. Calls are received, including caller ID, but then I receive error message and the phone application shuts down.

You should add

and not

to your kernel commandline.

Your latest dmesg still shows the mmc0 controller (wifi) up and running using DMA8 at the same time with mmc1 (sd)
