Headphones

Hi,

Many thanks to tuxhero and all others involved. Progress is unbelievable!! Just a few steps away from a fully functional Android port on HD :)

One question, with the sound bug fix, can anyone / has anyone get audio out of the headphone socket?

I have tried plugging headphones into socket but sound stays router through external speaker.

Is there a setting to fix this?

Many thanks again...

Pin Code

Hi ppl

Do we have to disable the pin code before boot in to android?

Because on my HD it cant recognize the pin code...

The camera is not working as well and for now its all when i have more time i'll explore all the OS and give you more feedback.

By the way the last android 1.0 i have tryied it was like 5 min to go to the menu and 10 min to start an app, this one is so smooth and stabe makes me go crazy for wating the 100% usable android OS

Tankyou tux

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kniffo80:
just soft reset your device. then, winmo boots up.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
No, remove the battery cover and either pull the battery or push the little red button.

Anyone else have this problem? And hopefully a solution? :)

Things to look at when you get the chance

Hi Tux,

Best wishes for your development in progress; here is something you may like to put to your log for fix:

In 0.2 when systems fonts are changed, it does change the fonts as long as the font setting widget is upfront. Once home key is pressed or fontsetting widget is closed, android forgets the settings and reverts back to original font size.

Why not just put a lock on this topic and make an new fresh topic when Tuxhero releases v0.3? 90% of this topic is rubbish.

Hi. Today i got surprised by android...

Yesterday i went to active sync in WM and added google sync server and synchronized.

Today, i boot android, and while guessing how would i sync to android, i went to contacts to see if there was any option and...

THEY WERE THERE. He did it by himself in less than 10seconds... WoW.

BTW - android had my email because i put on the android market.

Hi tux and everyone

I'm still tryng to fix my problem with 3G.

I must say that i try all steps that you and other pepple recommend in posts...

also i call to my provider (movistar Spain) and ask for android APN Setings

APN: movistar.es

usuer: MOVISTAR

pass: MOVISTAR

Server: 94.179.001.100

proxy: 10.132.65.6

but... it doesn't work

I see the 3g logo on the top for a wile, and disapear again but it doesn't work.

Anyone from movistar spain have it working?

i hope some one can help me.

Thanks to all. and again sorry for my english... hope you understand.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Skydmig:
I think jonlar is pulling the right straw on this one. I think it is the best way to progress. As much as I would like to see more integrated functionality like wifi etc. I think the most important factors are base stability and optimization. Also powermanagement is very important. (Though also hard to develop!) The development would benefit more from this aproach where we get a better working USB connection.

@ Tux: As Jonlar asked I'm also very interested in how you survey the device. : )

how and where do you get haret.exe to work .. i know i`m stupid but please some help .. i have my sd card empty and i downloaded all the 4 file and placed them on the sd card.. i found haret on the web .. but what then ?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Domskibus:
1.) Download Tuxhero Blackstone-Android - Alpha (v0.2) (downloadlink in the first post).

2.) Extract the archive and copy all files on your SD-Card (not in a folder - just in the "main-root")

3.) Start any file-explorer on your Blackstone

4.) Navigate to your SD-Card

5.) Start haret.exe and wait. It needs some time to configure your device ---> wait a few minutes!!!!!

6.) Have fun;):)

To quit Android you must perform a Softreset -> Resetbutton or replace your battery
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] scoutish:
the thing is that when i oper haret.exe it just opens a window with two butons

first one is run and beside it a path to write te filename you want to run and the second one listen for network connections

i'm on the so called win 6.5.1 build 23075 .. could this be a problem?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tids2k:

USB connection from Android on Blackstone

Hi All.

USB connection is working a little - it is possible to connect to Android from Windows using ADB.

DL Android SDK, install drivers for two "MSM USB" devices (it`s need some digging in .inf file - VID&PID&MI), then create file adb_usb.ini in "%USERPROFILE%"\.android\ and fill it with vendor id of device (0x049F).

If eavrything is all right, command "adb devices" will show your device, and you can use "adb shell" to shell and "adb forward" to forward ports to/from Android. (It works for me.)

After all I`ve read somewhere about "proxy" app - it`s installed on android, and gives inet access to other apps using port mapped with adb. (But I didn`t try that.)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] omzi:
nice work with the android

still needs a little work but i appreciate it a lot

just a few bugs here and there

but who cares, that is exactly why its called a beta or alpha version

but i am waiting eagerly for the final version with everything working just fine.

Keep it UP!

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] RobRedbeard:
0.3 ETA - Next year.

What features will it have? Ones they manage to figure out.

How can you setup your 3G? Use the search function on this forum.

What should you do if your card doesn't work? Try a different card.

Should you post about it? No.

What if you're still not happy? Mail it to Tuxhero and he'll try to fix it, after he gets to 1000 other things first.

What can you do to help? If you already know a lot about this sort of development, you can join htc-linux on irc.

Will there be a ROM version of this release? Not for any productive reason.

But what if you only want to use Android and not Winmo? Buy a Hero.

"I don't know anything about technology; file browser? soft reset? Should I try Blackstone Android?" No.

"What can I do to help?" Open Start->Games->Teeter. See if you can finish the game without every touching a wall.

Cheers.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] antrak:
Troll more, please.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] RobRedbeard:
Just out of curiosity, what exactly is it that you have come to understand the meaning of forum trolling to be?

Well, kids, here goes:

"In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion." - Wikipedia, retrieved 10/27/2009 1:18AM

Forum Trolling Easy Pocket-sized checklist:

controversial? Nope.

inflammatory? Nope.

irrelevant? Nope.

off-topic? Obviously, nope.

Here's an example of trolling:

"I like Blackstone Android but I'm more interested in the new home DVD (irrelevant) of this years ground breaking undercover reporting masterpiece about how the moon landings were just a hoax (controversial) planned by (some racist comment, inflammatory)."

Rob

ps. Oh crap, I think our discussion of trolling actually IS trolling. Darnit, I guess you were right in some sort of future seeing way.

You can get the informations from WinMo,

Hey, i just found something which perhaps could be useful for you developers:

http://translate.google.de/translate?hl=de&sl=de&tl=en&u=http://www.golem.de/0910/70729.html

What about contacting Qualcomm (again), quoting this pressrelease and asking for documentation for the missing components like wifi, bluetooth, gps, and so on. Otherwise you could leave a comment at Golem.de and tell them what they said to you. Because Golem-Team was wondering if this press release means handing out documentations, etc. Perhaps they would post an Update. Which would be bad for Qualcomm!

But i'm not really into this, so i don't know if these docs would help you guys developing?!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] apolo23:
Bluetooth here, also. I use a handsfree BT car kit and I really miss it.

Although this is an Alpha version, I would stick with it if it had BT and the battery lived for just a little longer...

All the rest seems to work MUCH better than expected from even a Beta version.

One of the things I really appreciate on this port is the very solid ground-up approach: don't do it all at once, focus on the essential and get it well done. And that's the way it feels, after almost a week of daily usage. The things that are supposed to work, do work great.

It's more stable (on what it does) than most of the cooked WM ROM's I've tried. I've tried at least 20 app from Market and almost all work. Even when some app seems to freeze, it comes back quickly or the process just dies and the OS takes over, no fuss (thta's the good thing of relying on a real OS, like linux).

This is amazing work, I can't say that enough. I almost feel bad by not helping more, but my low-level programming prime days are long gone...

Keep up the work, we're here watching, cheering and (if that helps) even donating!!!! :)

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] apolo23:
Keep the Saphire for now, although this port of Android works WAY batter than expected: the Saphire is a native Android device, and it runs (even) better, not to mention that all features are implemented.

That said, my Touch HD has been on Android for the last 2 days (ok, I also have a HTC Snap that I use as my main device... :)) and it keeps going. Just remember to boot android with usb connected and it will charge.

If anything else, this port convinved me that Andorid is the way to go: probability of buying a Android device has gone up. A lot... :)
