Love your work mate!

Love your work mate! It seems like the dream comes true!

Carry on mate! :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
thanks tux, any idea if you can include htc sense and/or exchange sync feature?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] fred_ducl:
So cool !

Impressive work ! :D

To make Internet connexion available I get the internet APN name from WinMo Internet parameters.

I update the file startup.txt and set the ppp.apn variable to ebouygtel.com (French Bouygues Telecom).

I do the same in Android, adding this APN.

And now the connexion is working very fine. I have all my contacts synchronized, same for e-mails and Agenda. I also upload an application from the market.

It's so cool. I'm now waiting for WIFI and the shutdown.

Thanks for all my (tux)Hero.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rdgut:
Won't this mean that we have to go back to the old resolution though?

It looks great although not quite usable yet ;)

Great work though!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] fards:
Guys I asked if you could test this last night.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4751067&postcount=176

No-one responded except someone said they cant get screen to dim, so I'm presuming no-one else has bothered trying it ..

But can someone who can't get the screen dimming try it?

Add

pm.sleep_mode=4

to the cmdline in startup.txt

if it does work for others, then maybe it's worth trying other values, the recommended is 0
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rdgut:
I did set the time to 15 seconds but since the LCD doesn't turn off yet it's pointless for now.

When the LCD turns off and it stops eating power then I will try this alpha again :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rafalplus03:
yes, we're waiting for Sense :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] fards:
add the command

pm.sleep_mode=4

to the commandline in startup.txt and try again..

my screen dims with it
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bl@ck:
didn't try that option but my screen surely dims automatically with teh sensor :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Roadrunner100:
Same here, dims with sensor.

Good move, we have a stable baseline on Android 1.5, looking forward to Alpha 2.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cybermaus:
Not sure who else is heavily contributing to this effort, but I put some money to Tuxhero, who seems to be in the thick of it: 0AK387614X485241C

Keep up the good work.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] drrogern:
I just tried this and I havent got it working yet. Im going to try some other values though.

EDIT: Still nothing. Anyone know what might be wrong? sencor doesnt work either.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sephiroth_vg:
for the next next version do try to get Wifi working! We dont really need the other non-working stuff all that much ..thts my opinion
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] abats:
Well thats different for everyone is it not? I for one turn my wifi on perhaps once a month so I rather have other things working.

Also; awesome job Tux and others who are and have been working on this for so long already.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Otiositas:
As long as the touchscreen drivers are not optimised, I recommend you to use the stylus, it seems to react more responsively and precisely than touching with fingers. :)

Hey TUXHERO

dude ive waited on you too much maan....n u give me such a fine piece of work...i just wish that i could donate man...you re amazing! hats off to you man. U have done it after all the crap that was thrown at u!...:D

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tuxhero:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tuxhero:
No this is only for Blackstone there are other devs who are working on getting Android working on xperia.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Prof. Yaffle:

Amazing! thanks

Having used linux before on other platform and with wm for a while, this looks amazingly pleasant. Your long patience and efforts have brought an interesting change to touch hd. Thanks. UI is responsive, neat fonts and widgets,...

if we ability to shut the screen off, it serves all my daily use right now.

Amazing effort!

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] LikeM8:
Hello Tux,

The power on/off buttone does no work on alpha ???

You have to change also in startup.txt, lcd_density to 240 for well graphic optimisation...

I test and give feddback.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] LelleZet:
Runs perfekt! every seems to be ok .. Thank you! Your great!

Tux: Please, can you release a multilingual version?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tuxhero:
Edit startup.txt and set lcd.density= with higher value you can set 220 or 240.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Morden:
Not sure if anyone else is having this problem, but when I use the 0.2 build, almost everything I do causes an "unexpected error" in the application. This happens in the browser, messaging, Google Maps, pretty much everything.

FYI - this didn't use to happen in 0.1 version.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] s-slawa:
thanks a lot tux
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tuxhero:
Delete all the files and extract them again.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ageva:
Everything works great but I can't figure out the APN settings:

I'm on Vodafone NL network so I changed the startup.txt APN settings to live.vodafone.com (username and password are 'vodafone'), then I ran the OS itself, went to settings and add new APN with the same settings. Did I miss something as I can't get data connection to work.

Thanks!

it does not work on my 8gig transcend class 4 [waiting for sd card]
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hmillhouse:
Thanks for this. Gotta say I'm impressed, especially with Youtube & browsing. Did not expect videos to stream at this early stage

Cheers!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Morden:
That did the trick!

I can confirm 3G working, even Google Maps worked for a while before something made it crash. It is, however, eating up my battery FAST and heating up quite a bit.

Great job! This is really coming along nicely!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Kenia1234:
Really awesome MAN!!!

I strongly suggest to set LCD density to 240 to make it easier to write a message or do anything else without using the stylus...

however...I suddenly noticed that 1.5 is a bit faster this time...but I can't see anything really different from the previous version...isn't it?? I mean still power button not working...but doesn't matter...

what really matters is that this project is growing up...and maybe a day we'll see HTC sense running on our blackstone...I really hope so...

Just a question...

Where can I find the language database???

I saw that in this relase...differently from the other...there isn't the chance to choose your language...isn't it??

thanks in advance...

again GREAT WORK TUX!!!

keep working and posting your results...

WOWWWWW

This is amazing !!!!!

My findings

1. 3G in v0.2 is working nicely in Greece with Wind provider ....

2. Screen is perfect with lcd.density=240

About time ... perfectly hinded fonts in my HD(iphone like )

3. Sync with google contacts and calendar is perfect

4. The screen dim and autolock after the 1 min that is in setup

This is almost ready for every day use !!!!

The wifi and bt are the only future missing for me.....

(OK.. maybe the camera and power off)

thank once again tux....

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tuxhero:
Save some battery

Disable Auto adjust backlight in Windows (Setting->System->Power->Blacklight). By disabling Auto backlight in windows will let Android control blacklight save lot of power usage.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] RobertW:
Wow !

Respect Tuxhero,

V.01 froze on me all the time, but v0.2 is running great. Incredible how fast it is. And with 3G working I even had a little fun on marketplace. Only one major issue i have, apart from the reported ones, is with the size of the taskbars and icons. They are impossibly small, and also the wallpaper has large black bands around it, suggesting something wrong with the scaling on my install. Anyone have this problem too ?

In any case, my hat off to you Sir.

Great work
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tuxhero:
Edit startup.txt and replace lcd.density=180 with lcd.density=240 .
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] RobertW:
And even a fast reply, thanks man.

with V .02 i'm noticing 3 behaviors that i have no clue how to correct: [1] keyboard/keypress lag, [2] keypress popups that are to large and [3] much lower earpiece volume (is there an audiopara.csv file for this). also, can i setup exchange email with this version? some guidance would be appreciated. great work tux!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cluclu:
there's no reason for me (for now) to exchange my blackstone with Leo :)

great job ! tuxhero.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tuxhero:
I too feel same cluclu. No need of another phone for atleast a year or more.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
interesting that some settings can be controlled by Winmo. how's that so? I did notice that if I change the time in Android, it affects Winmo after I switch back. BTW, the time in Android is different from that in Winmo. it's always few hours behind. I have checked that the timezone is the same. A bug?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
btw tux, I have ordered a KingFisher beer for you, I was told that you can redeem it from paypal with this ticket number 5GJ567797N838892G. :D :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kingofslide54:
Hi men.

Telling you some curious issues...

I copied this distro files over an older one. I overwrote everything I was prompted to, but I didn't delete anything. Well...

Once I'm in android, it looks the same as before. Even my settings have been kept, folders, desktop background and APN included. But 3G is not working. And I've notticed some small diferences on interface and behaviour. It seems faster and smoother but more buggy.

And when I go to settings -> About phone, it says it's firmare 1.5!

Did I do anything wrong?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] crypta:
data is working. but I get messages about failed services all the time.. for e.g. at setting up a google account. calendar fails direct from the beginning... any ideas?

response is awesome compared with wimo.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tuxhero:
Remove all files and install it again. Don't forget to skip everything at first boot and setup APN.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tuxhero:
2000+ Downloads in less than 24 hours that's a very good score friends.

i also added a new apn connection in android, but i do't get a data connection.

are there more settings in new apn connection to be set?

i now have apn, username and password set, do i need to add something to server and / or APN type?

For using V02 of Andriod, I set teh startup.txt with the APN settings from this link provided earlier

http://www.androidonhtc.com/carrier_network_settings#vodafone3

When i booted Andriod and tried to set APN from Menu\Wireless Controls\ Mobile Networks\Access Points Names I was confused as it was a blank screen.

Settings for Vodafone (UK) below:-

ppp.apn=internet ppp.username=web ppp.password=web

If you press teh Home button a menu appear with New APN button. Press it, apply the settings and Voila....

Good Luck

Hi Tuxhero,

I am very impatient to test it. unfortunately, same problem of "waiting for sd card" on my HD. I will wait on a working release.

Nevertheless, I have sent you some money for a beer or two...

Many many thanks for your great work !
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Thanks but still nothing is happening :o.

In the Wallpaper section I select a picture. In the bottom "thumbnail" view there is a box around the selected picture. I then use the stylus and click and hold inside the white frame, but nothing. :confused:

What can i do?

With best regards
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Semicuda:
Read the first post... most likely you have a Transcend SD card, which are known not to work. Get another brand (2GB for a few bucks), Sandisk and Kingston seem to work well.

how can i disable simpin or is that just the flightmodus?

Just get a new memory card which is not class 6 based and not transcend. Even 512MB memory card will work perfectly.

Thanks for your support.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] douginoz:
Screenshots would help a lot of people understand what this is and whether they want to try it out. No screenshots means people have to guess and probably won't.

if you're looking for feedback, you need to make it worth people's while to try it.

And yeah, most of us know what Android is, but that doesn't mean that this particular implementation is the same, or even similar. For all we know, it's another one of those gui changes that makes your WM6 phone look like an iphone, but doesn't actually change anything.

Hopefully some screenshots will clear up any ambiguity and get more people trying.
