Damn I'm a troll! over 3000 posts of helping and I'm accused of being a troll by someone who repeats exactly the same thing that has been repeated over and over again..

Yes I think my response was perfectly justified, after all with 600+ posts I'd imagine by now you're aware of the rules of the forum.

That a simple reading of the thread for less than 30 seconds would have meant you didn't need to repeat what others had said, my post and the others asking you to search or read was posted at the same time..

In fact you didn't need to post it at all, you could; if you'd bothered, have just disabled the pin in windows, in exactly the way that others have been told..

Then you would have not needed to make your comment in the first place, and others including me wouldn't have needed to respond.

anyway back on track, as I've got some time today I'm looking at the squashfs stuff, it's new to me, I'll admit. But I'll dig through it to see if there's anything I can do.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] fards:
just having a look at wifi in the root.

the fw bin file is different to the one from the HD oemdrivers.. would substituting it with the one from our device make a difference?

I'll resquash and try it I guess :p

{edit} what's the correct syntax for mksquashfs for a usable system?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] patp:
I think it's more a kernel issue. It would help if we knew where these files came from.

Tuxhero, it looks like what you're calling 0.2 is a Diamond build from Connect-UTB (init.ion.blackstone.rc is identical to init.ion.diamond.rc) - is that right?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] lepop:
Works fine today :)

But google Market dont install application :(

And i receive texto but i cant answer or send texto
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tuxhero:
no patp i got source of rootfs i create ion.blackstone.rc from ion.diamond.rc and modified init to use it on our blackstone. My next version has lot more mods to ion.blackstone.rc.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] anaadoul:
Great work tux, but unfortunately it keeps freezing whenever i want to use the internet (edge or 3G).

when i start the browser it displays that the page is unavailable and freezes.

when i try to sync contacts with my google account it freezes.

tried the following regarding the APN problem :

1- removing the settings in Startup File and keeping config only.

2- removing the settings in Startup File and Removing the config then adding config again.

3- Adding the settings in the Startup file and removing from config.

4- adding the settings in the Startup File and removing the config then adding config again.

all same result, Phone freezes!

keep it up :)

Edit : When i call my self, the phone doesn't ring the first time, nor i get any missed calls!

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Roadrunner100:
Hi Tux,

This build is MUCH faster than the Diamond build I've used so far.

* Successfully creating an APN, is simple, without resorting to previous procedures. The settings are instantly saved and shown. 3G icon bounces on status bar instantaneously.

* However, data connection is non operative, and any attempt to connect produces a complete lock up.

* lcd.density=160 value produces a much crisper display.

Kudos Man. A big step in the right direction

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mustafaturksavas:
Well, actually Android is not a gui change at all. It's an operating system for your mobile device just like Windows Mobile. I don't know what tuxhero thinks but I think since not much of the features are usable, it's better if newbies don't try it just yet, that way they don't get any trouble with their devices and also I think it's better not to release it as a rom till fix the main problems. I think that's why tuxhero keeps it as the last thing in his/her to do list. About the screenshots they got some here and you can also search it on somewhere else and see.

By the way I downloaded another release a few days ago and after I restart my device it doesn't work right. I restart it a few times to be able to use my device. I don't know if it's about the rom that I'm using or you fixed it on your latest release or the problem is common. It would be wonderful if you can write an answer.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tuxhero:
You have to keep file in root folder means all file should be in \Storage Card\ not \Storage Card\Blackstone-v0.1\

Important output from Android is

Now I know that the first line that is the same is the SquashFS system one, so I'm not sure why it's failing to mount as I've literally unpacked and repacked it, no alterations.

I used the command "mksquashFS squash-root system.sqsh"
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] joen_:
I am very impressed, thanks for all your efforts. I have an Android device, but I had a Blackstone laying around gathering dust. It's so cool to experience Android on a big screen for the first time. Too bad some things aren't working yet but it's actually pretty usable, and I'm confident you will be able to make it work even better. Thanks and keep up the great work!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] patp:
Cool. I'd consider not initialising wifi and BT drivers as they don't work at the moment.

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

Just one thing I noticed .... maybe it's silly maybe it's not.

I had Miri 6.5 ROM before and android was a bit slow. it was a rom with all kind of stuff installed.

I don't know how haret works exactly but i guess the windows under it still matters.

I put a clean ROM of the latest 6.1 ROM from HTC and left it clean as a whistle.

Andoid runs much snappier now.

Regards,

Rob

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] fards:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dB Zac:
I saw the part about the power button but not the camera...huh
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] patp:
I would not suggest using the windows tools to create a package for booting, it won't preserve the file permissions so executables might not run.

if you want to work with the squashfs system files as opposed to just look, you should do it in linux. The easiest way to do that from windows is to install Sun Virtualbox and use it to set up linux virtual machine using eg the latest Ubuntu iso (I use Puppy 4.2 sometimes as it's quicker and smaller). In linux you then do:

mkdir ~/sysroot

mount system.sqsh ~/sysroot -t squashfs -o loop

then you can play with those files in the new sysroot folder and when you've finished

umount ~/sysroot

and the system.sqshfs will have your changes in it.

I'd suggest getting hold of some of the other "distros" from:

www.connect-utb.com

code.google.com/p/vogue-hero

Use Google Sync in WinMo and sync your contacts to your gmail contacts.

Android will get those contacts when you enable data sync in android

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] aavan:
The same here, I suppose android scans your entire storage card and index files, scans mp3's and images and builds a database around that.

It's clever, but yeah perfs take a huge hit before it's done.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tuxhero:
Can u explain how you configured it in step by step than i can try guess where the problem might be.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] patp:
mine autoconfigures from the telephony database. Maybethere's a more complete copy of that floating around that would get rid of all these APN issues.

How to charge...

Hi to all, thanx for the fix Tuxhero... a job well done so far!!!

Here's what I did in order to charge the batt (with working indicators in v2)

- boot device

- run wm 6.5 or 6...

- connect to pc, set as active sync.

- disable touchflow or titanium (start/settings/today)... so the WM screen is emty.

- Connect the phone to the pc so it's charging....

- run Android

Now it should work!!! (as it is working for me)

Good luck.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tuxhero:
yes i am including most APN's auto config in 0.3

An of course al the people who put effort in this project!

I'm using vodafone NL(Dutch)... With the new release of TUX, V0.2!

I read the FAQ... The internet doen't work... To bad...

I've added the startup.txt I use...

The only thing I see is the "G" icon popup for less than a second....

I'm going to try another version... I will post the test later!!

Greetingzzz......
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mcdull:
both WM (most recent roms) and android can sync with google contact.

So. you just need to keep a copy of contact in google.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] joeboyc2:
Hi Bruns86,

I've just looked at your statup.txt and it looks to be default, you need to open the file in notepad - on a PC or Word Mobile on WM and save back to the file - if you are editing the settings on your device make sure word mobile doesn't save the edits as a .doc file.

Boot in to android and then go in to wireless setting - enable aeroplane mode and then disable - you should see the 3G/G sign pop up next to the signal indicator.

If you do not see this then check the APN setting - the APN should have a green dot to the left of its name.

Let me know if you have an issues

Check out my startup.txt
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] blackholeit:
To connect go in settings > wireless control > mobile networks > access point names

than tap home button > "new apn" and set name to "tre" and APN to "tre.it" or "naviga.tre.it" [it depends on your subscription ("naviga.tre.it" is for promotions)]

when you're done tap home button again > "save" and the 3g icon will appear on the top of the screen ^^

the apn for ITA - Wind is "internet.wind"

:) I hope it helps
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
I've edited your startup.txt file for the APN settings for Vodafone NL as the one you linked was the default one without any changes. I have also changed the lcd.density to 240 as recommended (this should make things a little larger for you. Replace your current startup.txt with this one. Then run haret. After bootup, go to Settings->Wireless controls->Mobile networks ->Access Point Name and click Home Button, select New APN and enter APN, Username and Password (as below) and save it by clicking Home button. That's all I did and all works perfectly for me, 3G, internet, market etc (granted on a different network to you.)

APN: live.vodafone.com
Username: vodafone
Password: vodafone

Edit: Added startup.txt file to next post as I forgot it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Sorry, forgot to attach the startup file. :o See attached now.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bruns86:
Thanks for the fast reply... Read your startup.txt, I've been a little stupid...

I just added the lines "ppp.apn" etc..... I did not edited the line that is already in the startup.txt file....

I tested the connection but it won't connect... Before I start Android I started the data connection in WM....

Hope that this will be fixed soon...

Also hope that android 2.0 is coming to the HD!!! :D

Onesolo. They are not acting like trolls. There is a group of people here, and this thread is acting like our conversation.

It's much like we are all in a room having a conversation. We are having a good conversation, except every 5 minutes a new person walks in the door and proceeds to tell us that it's raining outside.

After about 10 interruptions we get a little annoyed. See, we're not trying to be rude to those new people, but we've moved on from talking about the weather, and we think what we are talking about now is pretty important too. So we put a sign on the door that says:

"we know, it's raining outside, thank you."

Then about five minutes later, yet another new person walks into the room and shouts "oh my god, did you guys know it's raining outside!" At this point everyone stops talking and puts their heads in their hands in a deep feeling disappointment.

That new guy was You, Onesolo.

Read pages 1-50 before you post.

Or search the thread.

Please try not to post a question that's already been posted.

Threads are not tech support, they are discussions. So entering them and posting with wreckless abandon and disconcern for the state of the conversation when you enter it, is well, rude.

Tux and others,

I admire your work, howerver....I hear that porting Android to the Kaiser is in a pretty advanced state. Please forgive my stupidity, I'm just a user, not a developer, but isn't it an idea that all Android cooks for HTC devices on XDA combine forces to learn from each other??? This would speed up the process, I think. Or is Android porting for Kaiser that much of a difference than Blackstone:confused:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] joeboyc2:
Do you get a 3G / G Symbol to say the connection should be/is working?

Have you checked the APN settings under wirless control in android - even though i added the APN setting in to my startup.txt i still had to manually add the setting in to android after boot.

the easiest way to find out the setting you should be using for you data connection is to look at the setup you have in WM.

Go To (This is on mine (your setting might be worded differently depending on the ROM you use) in Using Duttys Leo R6)

Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Under Contract Internet choose "Manage Existing Connections" -> Highlight your connection and choose edit ->Next-> "Access Point Name" (this is the setting you need for the APN in Android)-> "Username" "Password" "Domain" ( these is the U/N P/W for android, you will most likely have the same username and password, although the password will be stared out.

Edit you startup.txt and add the setting you have found - boot in to android and re-add the setting in the APN if you do not have a connection.

One thing to watch out for is that when adding an APN you save the setting by pressing the Home Key and then Save rather than the Back

Button. if the APn is saved make sure it has a green dot next to it name by clicking on the Gray outline - this will start the connection.

please let me know how you get on

well I think what you are describing is basically like a WM kitchen but for android. I am no developer but I get the feeling from other people that bring up similar questions is there is more than one approach and sometimes its not as simple as just combining knowledge. That being said I am sure once more than one guy is making android work on Blackstone, kitchens will pop up
