maybe we need to enter it blank ?

so that android will resolve it alone or something ?
[Touch HD Android Development] idandush:
sorry for 2 posts , internet problems :(
[Touch HD Android Development] Duncank:
But in android it's blank by default at my phone.. Trying to update or refresh it gives errors.

What is the correct git repo to use nowadays? The one at http://git.linuxtogo.org/?p=groups/mobile-linux/kernel.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/htc-msm-2.6.27 seems to be out of date.

mitikos, phhusson

:

:D Finally I had been able to use squashFS on my Debian (hell, I reinstalled Debian because Ubuntu is a distro for dummies, too simplified! And no squashFS support but recompiling the kernel!)

So now I'm able to read system.sqsh file..... I noticed that, modifing this file I should be able to personalize a bit Android.......

Do You think that I could solve the "apps resizing" by modifing the system.sqsh?

Sebastiano
[Touch HD Android Development] aavan:
Hi, even tho it was not adressed to me, I'll take the liberty to answer you.

I think that it should be possible to solve that problem, however it will require you to know where that problem comes from (perhaps comparing the current system.sqsh with the system.sqsh from tux will help ?)

But it will require you to compare our system.sqsh to the one in tuxhero v0.1 because it was the only release with android 1.6 which we are using right now, the v0.2 is android 1.5.

And you can find tuxhero v0.1 there : http://download.z-z-g.de/Blackstone-v0.1.tar.gz
[Touch HD Android Development] Kenia1234:
To sum up...GREAT JOB guys!!

#htc-linux team RULES!!

it's still a little...but just a little far from being used as main OS...

you have to fix :

-Standby mode

-Battery life

-Responsive notification

-a little bit more of stability (cause some processes usually crash)

Once you'll do this, I (or every other ROM cooker I guess) will be proud to make a ROM with Android 1.6 fully working which of course means lots and lots of satisfaction and donations too! :D:D

Really GOOD guys...

Keep on this way you have all our support...do not hesitate to ask! ;)
[Touch HD Android Development] bobik91:
YES THX SO MUCH... very good work..

but i have a question! is it possible create a ROM with Android? or its a long way!
[Touch HD Android Development] aavan:
The processes crashing are in fact not crashing, but android rows low on memory, and kills the process himself so that way android won't crash.

Devs have a bit of problem with a correct memory usage here, but they seem to have found a solution for a new memory layout that could free a lot of memory (the notification screen lags because of this too)
[Touch HD Android Development] Rizlo:
Cool! thanks
[Touch HD Android Development] auss81:
Thank You aavan! ;)

You are right! I have to compare with 0.1,, wich uses 1.6...... I'll give it a try........
[Touch HD Android Development] jdejansb:
There it is ... 2 GB Kingston ;) (I guess it's class2 - there is no word of "classes" on the card or on the pack), working nice :) ... wanted to do screen calibration - App dies .... or Android closes it, whatever :)

Great work still........

Regards from Serbia ;)

[Touch HD Android Development] bobik91:
some bugs in internet browser.. i cant writte a addres!
[Touch HD Android Development] auss81:
Well, I checked the system.sqsh in both releases.......... No video conf files found. I guess now that video is entirely handled by the kernel, because the only video parameters i found are only in the startup file, wich set the parameters for the kernel (zImage).

I don't know if I'm wrong........ but I'll go to examine the kernel source config file, if any....:confused:
[Touch HD Android Development] bjrmd:
Using latest files:

Wifi-works great on non secure network(that is all I have)

3G-fine

Phone-fine

Speed-better

Bluetooth-pairs and connects but then phone freezes up--needs to be reset. Tried 3 different bluetooth devices.

Thanks
[Touch HD Android Development] aavan:
Well, bad news I'm afraid, I've tested using the system.sqsh from tuxhero's 0.1 with the zImage from htc-linux, and app are still resizing, even with the "mddi" parameters in the startup.txt :(
[Touch HD Android Development] djharty:
It works great, a little bit slow, but that's OK for this version. I found a bug. The system couldn't switch off the system, only the screen is black. The light stays on.
[Touch HD Android Development] phhusson:
If anyone with a rodium come to #htc-linux, I might give it a try.

If I knew it, I would do it ...

The system switches off, the problem is the backlight. And it's a known bug.
[Touch HD Android Development] LikeM8:
Ok, but how to fix this bug?

Any way to lunch Android without Windows?
[Touch HD Android Development] Bl@ck:
lol to launch android without windows you'll have to flash a rom with it :p and atm the devs NEED windows to initialize the phone peripherals, add to this that using haret you'll not brick your phone, if something goes bad you'll just have to reset to have a working device.
[Touch HD Android Development] nocomp:
actually it s quite nice to be able to swap from one system to another, i prefer it to a fully rom that format wm

i hope the dev will keep goin on that way

keep up guys!
[Touch HD Android Development] Bl@ck:
we'll have to use this method for a long time, iirc to flash a rom with android we'll have to change SPL too with one that supports linux drivers.
[Touch HD Android Development] vader hd:
It's alive!!!!

Hey everybody,

I can't believe it. WiFi is finally working! I don't know, if it's coincidence, but last thing I did before it found the connection was, I opend the router setup over wifi in winmo and connected to it. Then I booted haret, then connect...disconnect...connect again and boom - there it was!

Browser, Market, YouTube, Email. Everything works fine now. Okay, except for data link, but I'm too happy to wine about that right now.

Guys, once again: You are out of this world!!!! Thanks a trillion times!
[Touch HD Android Development] vader hd:
Ah, and (maybe) some minor bug: I can't delete Emails out of the dump. There is no general option to sweep the recicle bin (is that the correct idiom?). And if I try to delete them manually, it just makes a copy of the dumped message in the recicle bin.

Hope, that wasn't posted before;)
[Touch HD Android Development] Bl@ck:
phh commited new changes, says something about BT not going in sleep mode with device in standby, BT Headset users should try it this new kernel ;)
[Touch HD Android Development] phhusson:
Please note that the bug which prevent the system from true sleeping with BT is still here (and i don't know how to fix it yet :( ), this change only prevent from disabling BT when the system tries to sleep
[Touch HD Android Development] Kenia1234:
new kernel???? Really?? when will it be relased?? Will it fix the most important problem (standby and wake up fast and normal) ??? Really waiting for it!! :D
[Touch HD Android Development] jeanfrederic:
Hohoo, i just tried the last new zimage Thu Nov 19 20:44:03 2009 +0100. Took a looong time to update the system, many many freez and reboot, but now, it's even faster than former one :)

Nothing more to say, WiFi, BT... working normally.

Wow, this is awesome! I just wanted to post a massive thank you to everyone working on this - it has come a long way since the first tests. Can't wait to be able to replace WinMo for good! This is the best working Android on HD I've seen yet, and fast! Keep up the great work!!

SD CARD

This trashed my SD card, good job I backed it up first...
[Touch HD Android Development] mitikos:
That's why i wrote in the 1st post to backup your sd data :)

Anyway i updated the zImage in the first post

Enjoy :)
[Touch HD Android Development] auss81:
Amazing :)

phhusson and other devs are doing a great job! Really! Yesterday I gave a look to the Kernel source, I "tried to understand someting" :o ...... and now I must say: These guys on #htc-linux are geniuses! They are very skilled in what they are doing! It's not easy noway.....so again thank you!

Lets test it :)
[Touch HD Android Development] Marcus_de_zwarte:
what is different in the new zImage ???
[Touch HD Android Development] patp:
Thanks. Not quite right, it's this one:

http://gitorious.org/linux-on-qualcomm-s-msm/linux-msm

@Mitikos, why not put his link in first post for those that know what it is.
[Touch HD Android Development] idandush:
any had any luck on installing apps from the market ?

it wont work for me with the WIFI . (wpa2 )
[Touch HD Android Development] auss81:
You said right, for those that know what it is...... :rolleyes:

Probably we should aks it to phhusson......

Testing new kernel now.

Someone downloaded Android.SDK?
[Touch HD Android Development] DaniLoveSky:
Strange.. It works perfectly for me over WiFi, WPA2 - have installed dozens of apps from the Market. Can you open pages in the browser? Sometimes after a deep sleep I have a problem that WiFi looks active, but the Internet is not accessible. Then a basic off/on for the WiFi solves the problem.
[Touch HD Android Development] aavan:
Sorry, my bad !

Can you enlighten me with the differences between these two forks ?
[Touch HD Android Development] patp:
Well it's actually the .27 branch that is currently compiled:

http://gitorious.org/linux-on-qualcomm-s-msm/linux-msm/commits/htc-msm-2.6.27

IDK what the others are.
[Touch HD Android Development] patp:

[Touch HD Android Development] nocomp:
hi,

i tried the last build,

seems much stable to me, but from what i ve noticed:

wifi deconnect more often

battery drained in less than a hour

htc hd very hot near the battery.

thx for all the job!!
[Touch HD Android Development] mwchadwick:
I've been messing about with the SDK in eclipse, it is pretty decent and you can knock up apps fairly quickly... check out the TuningFork app in the attached zip, still a beta that I'm messing with so no bug reports :D

Why did you ask auss81? Do you need an android app written to do something specific?
[Touch HD Android Development] ferrarezi:
Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! :)
[Touch HD Android Development] auss81:
Thank You mwchadwick!!

The only thing I'm looking for SDK is for its tools, and to check the system.sqsh in Android 2.0 :D

May I use the adb tool to connect to my BLAC running android? also.... SDK is available for Linux, do you know if I have to compile the executables?

:)
[Touch HD Android Development] Zommy:
I'm having trouble getting android started on my DIAM100.

I've copied all the files to the root of my internal storage,

when i start haret.exe linux boots and i get loads of commands

all seems to go well until the Android lines begin

then it just sit there and reboots.

Is anybody else having this problem are have an idea on how to resolve it?

I tried the various packs from the http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android/ website but all seem to have this issue.

Also i have a question about this line in the instructions

6- A new zimage avaiable here http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android/ (the one from Thu Nov 19 20:44:03 2009 +0100) unzip and put everything in the root of your sdcard rename the new zImage.20091119_204403 to zImage and u can delete the old modules-2.6.27-00593-g3890096.tar.gz

Do we need to do anything with the new modules file?
[Touch HD Android Development] Bl@ck:
are you using the correct startup file? for diamond you've to copy and rename the diamond.txt
[Touch HD Android Development] panky24:
can sync with outlook

hi,

ive connected my phone to my computer via usb.

the phone indivate connection but htc sync won't connect my phone.

what should i do ?

thank you.
[Touch HD Android Development] aavan:
Under windows environment, you have to hack the drivers from the SDK to be able to connect to the blackstone.

And using DDMS you won't be able to push/pull files to your phone.

However you'll be able to take screenshots of your phone, see/kill the running process.

Using ADB you'll be able to do anything (even tho 'adb shell' is buggy under windows) but if you forward the correct ports, you'll be able to open a terminal from your computer via (putty) to your phone.
[Touch HD Android Development] aavan:
Sorry pal, but it won't work.

HTC sync support is IMHO

far

from being supported by the current android port.
[Touch HD Android Development] scholbert:
Hey patp!

Would you mind to ask orux about the dump?

I already got this Epson datasheet, but the dump would be interesting.

[Touch HD Android Development] mwchadwick:
No there is no need to compile anything all of the tools are already built and in the bin dir... I haven't tried using adb to try to connect to my Blackstone... I might give that a go :cool: [had assumed that it would not work without a working usb connection]

Update: I'm using Linux and assuming that you are too...
[Touch HD Android Development] patp:

New kernel available with latest phh commits!

download here > http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android/

Now we've more free ram to use under android, this means less applications crashs, more apps and services in background.

Testing right now :)

Awesome update :)

There's still one or two lags from time to time, but it's a LOT better, and it's quite amazing :)

My android market keeps crashing every time i try to search.

Any help please?
[Touch HD Android Development] Bl@ck:
same here, probably it's still a memory problem, just bear with it a little :P and reopen it every time.
[Touch HD Android Development] phhusson:
Problem fixed, I'll release it soon.

Actually it's a graphic memory problem, android defaults its buffer to 8MB, which is fair for 480x320, almost enough for 640x480, and a pain for 800x480.

And you have to rebuild part of android to change this.

And this should also fix many of the "desktop" kills.
[Touch HD Android Development] Roadrunner100:
Following the memory changes in latest zImage, should the "set RAMSIZE 0x08000000" command be removed from the Startup file?
[Touch HD Android Development] phhusson:
I'm not totally sure, but I think it's safe to remove it yes.
[Touch HD Android Development] nizzon:
What about the apps with wrong resolution? Is that something only the app-makers can fix or can you guys do anything about it?
[Touch HD Android Development] Bl@ck:
i think that's something that only the app devs can fix, i downloaded a couple of apps from the market, for example chompsms still have the wrong resolution problem but handsomesms (iirc the name...) got updated and now is working also on wvga :) we've to wait for wvga android phones to come out and the problem will be solved.
[Touch HD Android Development] fdrzrich:
There's another kernel been posted today (21st)...testing now....
[Touch HD Android Development] Ingmar89:
The extra memory really is a big step forward.

Programs work more fluid and I experience less crashes.

Als the deep sleep "problem" seems to be nearly fixed due to the extra memory.

The phone will go out of sleep in a reasonable time for 90% of the tries.

Again a great development!
[Touch HD Android Development] auss81:
Yes, definitely, it's an apps problem! It's due to the apps esolution support, and it's not due to android itself......

Android UI

Hey guys,

Maybe it's not the right time but I made a interface for android for the HTC HD.It's Manila inspired the old manila I don't like the new one... anyway there are some of you who want the Sense UI you guys could use Open Home.This design could be ported to Open Home I hope you all like it!

You guys are doing a great job! Keep it up I can't wait for a stable version! If you need any artwork done contact me..

I only thought to share this because it used to work in tuxes.

But is has 0 importance honestly.

It is off .. but the lcd is just not shutting down completely.

Am I the only one with this feeling? the best way to tell the difference is in a dark room. In Android it's glowing black ... in winmo it's completely off.

Nope . .works nicely. gj

Perfect .. thanks

My Wifi turns on but when I go to deeper settings it says turning it off.

Sorry if I ask again but what needs to be done to start wifi?

Also Market search keeps to crash randomly while I type ..

[Touch HD Android Development] gunja99:
OMG, well done boys, once Wifi working, we're nearly there on the hardware level. So impressed with the work you're all doing. I have been following the progress of Android since I got the phone (back in Feb I think), and had pretty much given up, like a lot of people on these forums.

I don't have much free time these days, new baby, working hard, and moving very soon, so don't have time to try every release, I have tried two different versions ('Tuxs' 0.2A, and one a long time before that), and have been impressed. I will wait until Wifi is confirmed working, but a VERY bug well done. I hope the battery life and heat issues aren't as bad as some people have commented on (alough my current WinMo, drains the battery in a day these days!) I know this isn't an easy project, and there has obv. been a lot of fighting and confusion around. I am a coder, but not at the linux kernel level, and I understand how much work there is to do, especially without much documentation on the hardware level! So I've been patient, and patience pays!

I've not posted before (as I don't want to fill the thread with too much irrelevant stuff), and I'm guessing theres loads of people out there like me watching and waiting silently. But did want to get round to saying the work you guys are doing is appreciated (whoever is doing it), and I'm glad theres a team of people doing it now!

Many thanks, and keep it going, massive progress in the last month, well done!

Oh, and my reason for making the reply, was mainly to say sticky this, and unsticky Tuxs' one, I know it'll stay high in the ratings, but sticky helps :) :d

2. if the screen turns off, the device does same.

3. so i still experienced the same problems as in previous version.

everyone seems to enjoy it and i'd also like to. but for now i must wait for a new release.
[Touch HD Android Development] Moony1987:
Disable your SIM Pin inside Windows Mobile.

1. Enter your APN settings manually. Then enable airplane mode for a minute or so, and then disable it again. It should work sometime after that. I know that's how I got mine working.

2. The device doesn't turn off. Try pressing the home button, or the power button a heap of times. It will eventually turn back on.
