now its possible to port android full rom to blackstone

new wvga devices like motorola droid and sony x10

new version please
[Touch HD Android Development] phhusson:
If it's that easy, why don't you do it ?
[Touch HD Android Development] Domskibus:
:D You're absolutely right

+1
[Touch HD Android Development] herpez:
as far as i know, just in HTC Vogue its possible, and it's really at beguinning of the port, maybe in alpha testing
[Touch HD Android Development] phhusson:
Blackstone is more similar to existing android phones than vogue.
[Touch HD Android Development] herpez:
I don't doubt of it, however, i was just saying that until the day of today, HTC vogue is the only HTC made to run wm that can have a functional ROM just with android without the needed of haret or windows mobile.

I think i'm not saying any mistake, but i'm very novice here.

Thanks

How to replace new fonts into /system/fonts ??
[Touch HD Android Development] mcdull:
would the android mess up the battery level in winmo?

I found my battery behaves abnormally after booting in android.

like I have 70% of battery and I boot to andorid .. after a reboot to winmo, I got 90%. And the battery is definitely ran out fast.
[Touch HD Android Development] mcdull:
may I know if we can extract some other language pack like Chinese / Japanese? I know the system is unicode ready, but the IME is missing.

...and a beer and a B.job, QUICK! :rolleyes:
[Touch HD Android Development] mrmomoman:
I am doing something wrong here it seems.

I put a new fat32 formated Micro SD card into the Touch HD. I performed all the updates - newest zImage, default.txt, etc.

I run haret and i type in startup.txt instead of the default.txt. It says that it cannot open script file \Storage Card\default.txt or \Storage Card\startup.txt. I tried it both ways.

I have placed it in the root

Am I missing something really obvious?

Thanks!
[Touch HD Android Development] label2k10:
it's case sensitive.

Do you have startup.txt or STARTUP.txt ?
[Touch HD Android Development] Bl@ck:
trying latest kernel build, seems to work fine!

Android started getting unstable after installing some apps and widgets (twidroid and beautiful widgets pack) that have background services to retrieve data, also market seems to go much better now but the background service that checks for new updates really slows down the system.

So, everything seems to work fine but the system gets a bit unstable and sluggish when using background data services and data connections.

PS: If anyone is looking for a nice sms free app download Handcent sms, teh best imho since it works also with wvga.
[Touch HD Android Development] Pyls:
Well the linux is booting and everything seems to work more or less.

Will be waiting for a more stable ver (tried 3 diffrent kernels) and maybe a rom :D
[Touch HD Android Development] mcdull:
my 3G data not works with the new kernel. More checking to confirm...

3G now works after I delete data.img once again.
[Touch HD Android Development] mrmomoman:
i got it to work. it was lowercase and i typed it in lower case. I just expanded the file on the SD card instead of moving it over and it seemed to do the trick.

No wifi - it turns on but says cannot scan network and then shuts off wifi.

It's cool that they have come this far. I hope it gets to the point of fairly stable ROM. That would be cool. I have an android phone but I like to play around with phones.

Keep up the great progress those involved!
[Touch HD Android Development] DjBareBone:

Hi DjBareBone,

these is my startup.txt

[Touch HD Android Development] Bl@ck:
stofan.sk you can delete "set RAMSIZE 0x08000000" string from your startup file, or simply comment it with # "#set RAMSIZE 0x08000000"
[Touch HD Android Development] masrterk:
excelent news ... and with motorola droid now its will be ease to make a rom for HD maybe ...

thanks
[Touch HD Android Development] kniffo80:
motorola droid/milestone has a "slightly" different hardware from Touch HD ... so no, it will not be ease...
[Touch HD Android Development] Jannibal:
Did someone manage to download/install and use a program from the Android marketplace? Marketplace is working, but it seems that newly installed programs aren't working correct. How nice would it be to use Google Goggles...
[Touch HD Android Development] aavan:
Since Camera is not supported, Google goggles will not work.

But other apps from the marketplace works, I tried apps like TasKiller, SMS Popup, ASTRO... and they all works nicely

[Touch HD Android Development] MfzQ.:
hey guys

first to all i rlly want to thank u loads cuz i cant imagine anything better than getting android on my blackstone .

and plz dont hate me when i ask this but there are already 91 pages in this thread and i was scimming already to the first 25 but i didnt get to solve my problem: can u PLEASE (please please) explain me step by step (for the dummie that i am) how to get wifi (it tried to add my network but it telled me that it failed saving the network) and 3G connection (it wont find it - i am in austria could it have something to do with that?) to work?

donladed package on page 1 yesterday (so still got the "calibrate" file) and used one of the latest kernels on the linked page.

aside that, i love it. it runs quite smoothly, apps (like the delivered bejeweld) run great, sms and phone calls work for me, camera doesn´t. its quite fast but lags sometimes. and the "set only screen and not system to sleep cheat" works for me.

im rlly looking frwd to quick reply .

thank u guys

u kinda made my wish come true !

best wishes

As usual, right click => save as.

Adding Arabic support to the build?

Great news guys,

I've been following the Tux discussions thread and now this thread and I hope this momentum will continued.

BTW could I asked developers if possible to add some arabic support to the new build.

Thanks and keep the good work.

Best regards,
[Touch HD Android Development] daniel.hunt:
Fair enough - both files are now mirrored Android-Donut-htclinux-15-11-09.7z so :)

Happy now? ;)
[Touch HD Android Development] phhusson:
Yes this one, you can check the raphael donut page (see my signature) to get the most fresh build.
[Touch HD Android Development] ReijMan:
My bet; Tux will have a new version soon featuring:

--- Accellerometer works

--- Blutooth Works

--- Screen on/off works

--- Telephone, SMS system works

--- 3G works

--- Internet connection is finally fully controlled by Android and not from startup.txt so is supposed to be easier and working better

:):D:D;)

Anyway, Thx for the work on porting Android to Blackstone!
[Touch HD Android Development] Bl@ck:
Thanks phh for the good work :)

so we're on par with other MSM7xxx devices right? that was a big improvement since last version available.
[Touch HD Android Development] rhussa_1:
OK thanks. but where is raphael donut page?

BTW WIFI works! I cannot believe!!!

Screen turns off.

BT - not tested yet.

You and guys (I have seen IRC logs) are doing some real development; thanks.
[Touch HD Android Development] DjBareBone:
First you need to make a 100% working version of 1.6, and then think about the 2.1!
[Touch HD Android Development] mcdull:
I truely dont think it is necessary.. Some code in 2.1 may be improved for better compatibility.
[Touch HD Android Development] zakariae:
I Hope you are right my friend:D
[Touch HD Android Development] Bl@ck:
same here, i don't think it's necessary.

we can build our own android system files with android 2.0 and use them, #htc-linux team is working on the kernel thats something different, it's the connection between the engine (our hardware) and the wheel/gear (android).
[Touch HD Android Development] craigdabbs:
Hi, im curious to what this little cheat does :). is it something to do with the backlight not turning off fully (low light black scrren). If it is can you please share what the tweak is as i cant seem to find it in this thread.

Other than that it works really well, not to fussed about the wifi issue atm when i have data with my mobile network.

Great job, only thing missing atm is a good sat nav system for android, any idead anyone?
[Touch HD Android Development] samsanchez88:
As for nav systems, my girlfiend has an htc magic and i found it was quite easy to get Sygic to work on the phone for free (though obviously it isn't free, there are a few tutorials out there to get round it) and its very competent . If you are willing to pay for it, Copilot is quite good and Ndrive, though i havn't tried it, is also supposed to be good.

Something worth looking @ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=601751 from our fellow raphael devs.
[Touch HD Android Development] NeoS:
I never really looked at Android seriously, until i tested the Polaris' Android port. I compared it's speed and usability against a HTC Jade and Blackstone, and both Windows devices didn't come near the Polaris! While the Polaris' CPU is 128Mhz slower, and it has less RAM.

Android is the future for our current devices, since HTC won't be making things better.
[Touch HD Android Development] brumbrum:
Sorry guys, I gave up the testing of this.

Bought a Acer Liquid (S100) to use android on. This device costed 300€ + shipment.

Gonna save my blackstone though, so if/when androids works to flash on this device I will convert it.

Thanks for this time and all the cool experimenting code you have written.
[Touch HD Android Development] ManuM:

hey i don't wanna rush you guys, just haven't heard anything new about the developing

Are there many apps and games available in WVGA for Android? I have seen one called Meteor Deluxe and some apps such as the web broser etc work in fullscreen. Nearly all of the apps that I have downloaded have not run in fullscreen. Is this just something that will eventually be fixed or do the apps and games that are downloaded have to support WVGA resolution like in Windows Mobile?

Updated step by step guide to install Android?

Hello, what is the step by step guide to install Android on HD, the one make by mitikos in the fist thread is not updated with the new zimage file???

Can someone liste the step by step guide to do this?

PS: when I copy the folder Android-1.6-22-11-09-CUTB and files startup.txt, modules-2.6.27-00621-gda86b90.tar.gz and zImage file in the root, the HD shut-up after I run Haret.exe????

What I make wrong?
[Touch HD Android Development] aavan:
The games and apps must support WVGA resolution in order to run in fullscreen.

There's a second solution though, but I don't recommend it, put 'lcd.density=240' in your startup.txt file. everything will be fullscreen BUT you won't be in WVGA resolution anymore.
[Touch HD Android Development] mcdull:
set lcd density to 240 in the config file.
[Touch HD Android Development] mcdull:
not necessarily true...

if the program itself supports higher resolution, it will use higher. only the task bar / icons, etc would scaled lower.
[Touch HD Android Development] 7Bit:
Really great work guys. I would highly appreciate an stable Android ROM with all essentials (Phone, SMS, Battery life, Internet) for our Blackstones.

Keep up the good work!! :)

Topaz running this build

See my results in this forum:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5188519&postcount=560

Basically, I was wondering about dimensions of google maps. On the topaz (480x800) it appears at first normally but jumps to a smaller scale leaving black borders on the left, right and bottom.

Is there a setting or does a special version of google maps need to be loaded into android (sorry total noob here)

EDIT: set lcd density to 240 and everything is working now.
[Touch HD Android Development] aavan:
There's no more need for lcd density 240 for having google maps in full screen.

Just update maps with the market, the new maps application runs in fullscreen WVGA.
[Touch HD Android Development] herpez:
Anyone tried the last zimage??? Any feedback?

Thanks
[Touch HD Android Development] ekampp:
Tried newest zImage

I just tried the newest zImage. It loops an error: "Waiting for SD Card" for 120 s. then realizes the loop, attempts to rescue, but loops again. And Hey Presto, we have an eternity loop.

The one before that, but still from today, simply causes a kernel panic, and crashes. Try the one from the 18th, that has worked very well for me.
[Touch HD Android Development] pumacheung:
Exactly the same situation as yours.
[Touch HD Android Development] Zailynne:
I have the same problem... :/
[Touch HD Android Development] markzb:
I found the solution posted on another part of the boards that worked for me. Take the + out of the number and use 00 without the 145 at the end.

Your number would then be entered as:

AT+CSCA="0031653131313"

For some reason the + sign throws Android. Removing it allowed SMS to work on both WM and Android for me.

I am recieving the waiting for sd card problem, i have a micro sd card and was wondering which one i should buy, can i use haret from internal memory rather than sd card?

Thanks
[Touch HD Android Development] pkshr:
Go for class 2 cards. I have 4GB (A-Data) and 8GB (Transcend) class 6 cards both did not work. I have another 4GB(SanDisk) class -2 and it works perfectly.
[Touch HD Android Development] erich900:

how do u see what class the cards is? my card is "transcend micro sd (4) hc 8gb"

is the (4) class number? or?, maby u androide guys can fix it for this card class.. idont know, just ideas..

thanks=)
[Touch HD Android Development] BlastOS:
Like I said in a previous post, I have a Transcend class 6 8Gb and the first time I tryed to boot Android I got the infamous message "waiting for sd".

I formated from Windows in fat32 and now it works! I don't know if this is a general solution but for me it works. Can someone confirm that I'm not dreaming? ;-)

I use the latest builds for today.

Testing around latest kernel (21 17:27 iirc).

sms ok, phone ok, 3G ok, wifi ok, bluetooth not tested, standby it's nearly perfect now the phone wakes up istantly when pressing power button but the light still doesn't turn off, good stability overall and speed.

[Touch HD Android Development] Spenca09:
No you are right my backlight does not turn off properly.

It seems to glow a bit even when it is black.

And I think the battery does not last very long.

But all other things seems to work for me.

Just as i sayed: I can make calls, send sms, wifi works, downloaded apps from the market works.....

Maybe it is not yet a version for everyday use but it seems to be one very close
[Touch HD Android Development] craigdabbs:
I think once the back light issue is sorted then this android will probably be usable everyday. especially as apps seem to be appearing with wvga support.
[Touch HD Android Development] Spenca09:
Right

I think thats right. The high battery consumption might be a cause of the backlight and once this is fixed i can imagine to use android all the day :)

but when the backlight issue really is solved then i would really use Android all the time :D

Latest android build was posted by phhusson around 22 november with an increased graphic memory size to avoid market and other apps that rely on graphic memory to hang. You can download it at this link http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RaphaelDonut

latest kernel can be found at this link http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android/

Just noticed it today while testing the new image, i realized that always when I want to play music, an errors occures and says that this format can't be played. The funny thing is that I already played the things with a former image. Maybe its a bug or i just have to delete everything and put it new on the card.

just wanted to let you know.
