I've been testing this out (to get the screen size correct) - you need to change it to 240 and all the apps then fit perfectly. Now the apps fit ok, the facebook app has started working - don't know if that's just a coincidence though. The wallpapers still don't seem to scale properly however.

I've attached my startup.txt file. I also put my T-mobile UK settings in there and I got data connection straight away - didn't have to go into APN settings at all! Very weird, but good!

set RAMSIZE 0x08000000
set MTYPE 2030
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
#
# The following kernel parameters are useful
# ppp.username - The username used to connect to the network when dialing #777
# ppp.password - The password used to connect to the network when dialing #777
# msm_sdcc.msmsdcc_fmax - The maximum frequency (in Hz) used by the SD controller
# pm.sleep_mode - The mode used when the phone is off
# 0=Power Collapse Suspend, 1=Power Collapse, 2=Apps Sleep,
# 3=Slow Clock and Wait for Interrupt 4=Wait for Interrupt
# Default is 3, use 0 for best power savings
# board-htcvogue.panel_type - Panel type used to power the panel off and on
# 0=Don't power off the panel (Default)
# 1=Hitachi 2=Topoly 3=Samsung
# mddi.width - width of the scaled display
# mddi.height - height of the scaled display (these should be multiples of 16 for the camera to work I think)
set cmdline "board_htcraphael.disable_wifi=1 msmts_calib=0x395.0x3c9.0x79.0x77 msmvkeyb_toggle=off mddi.width=480 mddi.height=800 lcd.density=240 ppp.apn=general.t-mobile.uk ppp.username=user ppp.password=pass no_console_suspend"
boot

Really please with the progress being made - I'm not even worried about wifi or BT really - just the screen off would be great - I know its being looked at.

One last thing - tested YouTube and the sound seemed to be cutting in and out despite the video being smooth.

btw for the data connection, i just putted my carrier apn in the startup.txt but when starting android my phone freeze'd trying to connect to 3G, so i've to start connection in winmo before launching haret like in the older builds? :) thanks

I had to try this out and I have to say that I'm really impressed.

Everything is so smooth.

Very well done Tuxhero!

Hi guys,

Well done tuxhero, but for me, the only thing that does work is the phone...

Data does not, even if I go to preferences and tell it to not choose 3G... so I cannot sign in to my googlemail account, which would be great to see how that syncs up.

Keep at it and thanks for the effort!

After 5 reboot, its good.

Now i cant config my 3g (SFR - France) and the wifi.

Thanks Tux for your work

getting connected

guys,

did you who managed to get online (web/mail/googlemaps etc) do anything special to the settings for it to work?

I have been trying, and it keeps saying I dont have a network connection.

I also find the keyboard quite crap compared to the HTC one, no keys to move up down left right, and no ability to press and hold letters to get numbers (for a password that contains a mix of both, the constant flipping text and number modes is a PITA!) ;)

cheers

Mark.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Roadrunner100:
Sound is working.

One work around is to disable all sounds and notifications in WM prior to booting Haret.

Try the following in WM:

* Start-> Settings-> Sounds & Notifications. Uncheck all settings.

* Boot Haret.

Let me know if works for you.

Hi.

Can the RNDIS support be enabled in Blackstone Android?

I want to connect to my device from desktop.

But I have no linux box, and Win does not support usbnet (cdc). Only RNDIS. And adb does not works with Blackstone Android VID&PID, even if I modify the driver`s .inf.

PS. Is it possible to input special chars like ^C in terminal using on-screen keyboard?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Roadrunner100:
Yes, that does tend to happen once in a while. I found that this can be avoided by disconnecting the Device/Card from the PC using the Safely Remove Device procedure.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dakey:
And did you manage to get your wifi working?

Tell us how did you do please

Thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dogans:
The sound is working, but it is stuttering all the time.

I unchecked everything in Sounds & Notifications but it is still stuttering :(

Thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Roadrunner100:
Not perfect, but this is an

Hi

I can't seem to get Andriod to load up. I've coppied the files to the root of my SD card and run the file hdret but I get a stream of messages displayed on my HD. Then it seems to pause with a list of I/O errors and then after about 2 minutes I get a further report

"INFO: task rpcrouter: 13 blocked for more than 120 seconds" plus further information. Anyone one got any ideas?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bastardop:
Deactivate the SIM-Pin (in WiMo), then it should work.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] _happyPit_:
Tux, it's really awesome!

You've asked to post a found issues, so If it helps:

1. can't setup an APN. Page is loads but it's empty.

2. have some sound issues: sometimes it make a short "tick" right before sound come.

3. I think there is some resolution things: lock screen appears above the desktop and its small :)

4. It's not possible to remove "google maps" from desktop: when I drag it onto trashcan it becomes red and hangs in this state.

Thanks for Your work, I really like this OS but have no such knowledge to port it.

Hope it will have a success.

@tuxhero

Let me ask something noob-ish. Do you have to do everything from the start for example in case of 1.7 version appears? Or can we update it with packages? I didnt used such OS before. :o
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] parnunu:
Wow come back

i will try

Good job thank
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mglancy23:
1. when at the apn section press the home key (menu key in android) you will get additional settings.

2. know issue

3. change the lcd.density=240 in the start up text file in your sd card

4. once the trash can is red, click it again! it should remove it

hope that helps, as it an early release! it may be different for others. great work though, just as i was getting board of win 6.5 and htc sense 2.5 this comes along :).

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Celeborn_81:
This build is much smoother and faster than any in the other thread, also I just noticed this one has the new Android Market with screen shots and all :)

You should try it out, it works great.

I had to enter my apn in the startup file (data.tre.se), and then enter it again in the APN settings in the phone. No need to do the airplane mode trick to get data working.

Also, set lcd.density=240 in the startup file, or at least that was recommended and it seems to work fine, haven't tried any other setting yet.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hmmhmm1222:
this only seem to work with some carriers, ike tre it works, with comviq it does not, dont ask my why, but when i try comviq that is my main number, the phone frezes every time.

It doesnt find the network automaticly, and when i find it, it wont connect.

But very smooth and i see good things in the future for Android on blackstone :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] _happyPit_:
Thanks! it worked :) have a little blured, but proper sized icons now) and APN is set (G-symbol appeared in the status bar)

can't wait for wifi working now)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jeroen1801:
impressed!

Setting up this version of Android went quite smooth...and using it for a short while makes me believe Tux is close to developing an OS that can be used in the daily life. At first, I had no network connecting, but indeed that could be overcome by unselecting "sim-pin" in WM. Fixed! Able to make and receive calls.

HOWEVER....I still do not have internet connecting....I find this very strange. Any idea how to set this up??? I cannot find it....

I will post issues and possible improvements from time to time to help improving Andoid for WM.

By the way...when Andoid starts...is WM and TF3D turned of to save RAM or is it litterally running next to each other???

One more thing.....the device does not seem to respond to "auto screen off after eg 1 min". How can I set this up???

Anybody?:confused:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hmmhmm1222:
i also get an 3g icon up in th task bar, but after a short while the phone always frezes. dont know why, but still its an impressive beta, looking forward to the future developments. Great work tux! sure glad you did not listen to all sceptics and complainers :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hmmhmm1222:
may i ask what radio does you people with 3g connection use?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] chalid:
Using radio 1.12.25.16 and 3G with data connection is working fine.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bl@ck:
to make 3G work you've to:

1) edit the ppp.apn in startup.txt (it's in the sdcard root) with the one provided by your carrier, example: ppp.apn=internet.wind

2) start 3G connection in winmo

3) run haret

4) setup an apn in android under settings > wireless settings

it's easy like that, going to play around with it a little more, i want to see if the browser connects to the web and if i can sync my google account with other apps, like calendar, since marketplace freezes the phone and reboots it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kortlangs:
Impressive Alpha release, but...

Read all the posts in this forum and some have the same problem. Phone freezes after some time. Rebooted now for about 20 times and every time it freezes. I have seen the start screen, heard the sounds work, seen the 3G sign and tried to call. So looks promising, but the freezes are keeping me from thorough testing.

Nevertheless, compliments and awaiting new patch releases.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] LelleZet:
Without 3G it runs very fast and stable !!!

Things who works:

- make a Call/receive a Call

- send SMS/receive SMS

- Sound

- Volume Up/Down

- no lags

- change Ringtone

- TTS Speech Synthese

- import SIM card contacts

Thanks Tux! Keep on the good work!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jaa-Yoo:
Ive been lurking these forums for a couple years now and for my very first post i would like to congratulate you Tux on a job very well done!

I was able to download and try this just moments after you posted it up. I must say, for a v0.1 alpha, its surprisingly smooth and useable. Awesome!

Anyway, for those who keep complaining about SD problems, please take note that

this doesnt seem to work through class 6 cards

. Use a class 2 or 4 card to load this.

Oh, and most cards have their class printed on them. There will be a "C" with a number 2 4 or 6 printed in the middle of it. That simple. :)

ok, i have changed the startup.txt , i am on constant 3g in winmo so i dont have to i think :) , i run haret, i set up apn, most of the times i dont really have time to since the phone frezes as soon as it start searching it seems for 3g or trying to connect, but i was able when fast as i couldf get in there and give the settings, and still frezes all the time :) , i am on radio 1.14, dont think that has much to do with anything, but one never knows.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Celeborn_81:
After playing with the latest build all day (until the batteries died), it would seem that most if not all of the application crashes I've experienced are due to launching the keyboard.

For example using the search function i Android Market, entering a URL in the browser, using the Google search widget on the home screen. All of those actions made the respective programs crash 50-60% of the time.

The OS hasn't hanged or crashed a single time and I only restarted the phone once to make a change to the startup file.

I did some chatting over MSN with the phone and it was really enervating trying to use the standard keyboard!! People started looking at me because I was swearing so much :D Is there any chance of installing the HTC version? It seems to be a lot more forgiving, or is it all up to screen calibration?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tuxhero:
It's Touch Screen problem. Touch Screen drivers need some more tweaks. I will fix it soon. I already have long list of fixes need to be done for next release so Touchscreen will be fixed in 3rd release.

Hope you understand.
