Market issue

BE AWARE, that in the newest release of XDANDROID from 24.01.2010, there are minimum of apps installed, to save memory, but when GOOGLE TALK is not installed, then DOWNLOADING apps from MARKET

won't work

. :mad:

WORKAROUND: put 3 googletalk (TalkProvider.apk Talk.apk gtalkservice.apk) files from AndroidApps\Core in AndroidApps :cool:

XDANDROID from 24.01.2010 problems:

1#Market dont work

2#Wifi on/off=the phone freezes
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tickmaster:
1) Market: there is a solution for this

2) Try different zimage

Edit: when I go to Android system info I can see in Dashboard- battery at 57%, but at system tab is battery at 62%, not even the battery meter in android is wierd, but even whole system detects battery in many ways
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Zlacker73:
jupp iknow but for me the :Android-2.0.1 CUSTOM Edition + new image runs the smoothest,best battery life etc.

The latest release have bigger trouble with the battery and radio issues (im using three).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jfran:

open the menu and click on "import all"

to open the menu press the home button on your diamond

Can I ask you a serious question is it worth all the effort to do this. How buggy is it, I must say it looks very intresting..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] houmles:
iam using xdandroid (currently latest eclair) for about 2 months as main system for daily use (using this winmo rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=623048 just for boot android) and it's pretty stable for me

everything works except gps, camera and bt which i don't use.

iam updating kernel+modules once a day for testing new features and to reprair minor bugs.

only problem iam facing is battery drain, i temporarily solved that by buying 1900mAh battery from ebay and my diamond lasts whole day without charging and with normal use (24/7 sync enabled, calls, internet and sometimes games)

of course, if you want android, it's always better to buy some android-native phone
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] worldcup:
Could you please tell where can I find the updating procedure for the kernel+modules?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] houmles:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] greatbal:
Weird thing just happened. I've been using Eclair since december and updates the zimage regularly with no problem.

A few days ago I decided to update the package. but before updating, I decided to format (FAT32) my internal storage using my PC running on Windows 7. afterwhich I couldn't run Android anymore! It's stuck on the Linux screen saying something like "...SD card... cannot continue... cannot access tty..." WTF! :O

I've tried several times to no avail. I decided to go back to old "working" package and zimage, but still a no go. :(

I've also tried formatting my internal storage using another PC with Windows XP, still the same problem.

Anybody can help?

Problem with data

Hello, I have problem with Android. In the latest builds, the data connection is not possible. I tried connect to the Internet in WinMo, the run Haret, but using data plan is still not possible(no data session active).

In previous versions it works like a charm, browser, market and gmail with contacts sync.

Any idea ?

SMS works for me.

I just held down my finger on the phone number and selected send sms.

Just a simple Hello world

It's mounted the Internal storage just fine. It's Working quite well.

Would be great if it could make me a cuppa.

If it can be tweaked to run faster this seems to be running quite fast. God knows what it's doing to the battery lifetime.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Zommy:

i've extracted all the files to my card

It appears to be booting linux but suddenly it just soft resets and i go back to WinMo before i get to Android.

Last message i get is:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] rpgman:
On a diam 100 i guess (diamond from france), sms, calls, wifi (provider Free witch use WPA or WPA2), 3G (Bouygues you have to put the settings (APN)) works.

If you use Wifi the power consume a lot of battery, better reboot after.

If you want to import contacts you'll find in post on Android, a mini how-to for that (the use of google sync). With that the first time you log in gmail in android you get back all your contacts.

If the phone goes in suspend mode you'll have to press power then the menu button (the home one on the phone).

Exept the battery lost with Wifi (and maybe 3G) it's quite impressive the work they made so far.

Maybe we'll have in a few days, weeks the 2.0 as it's seem the source code was released (not sure)

For those who tested it month ago you have to put android in the root of SD, no more in /tmp.

Same Error here ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] plagued:
The thread [PRJ][OS]Linux and Android on HTC Diamond "NOT YET WORKING" already has all this info in it, and it's been running for a long time.

as you can see the title still says NOT YET WORKING in relation to the features still missing.

No need to create a new thread, the title will change when it is working properly.

No GPS, Camera, battery problems, intermitant wifi and other stability problems don't warrant the title "working" yet.

They have made fantasic progress the last few months, and fingers crossed they will continue to fix all the remaining issues. There really is no need to duplicate their work here.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] TecHunter:
I didn't see in the first place that their project was already working because they said NOT YET WORKING so that's why I posted here. They should improve their first post because I had better time finding android for blackstone working on diamond than simply on their post :/

Battery Issues

Has anyone got any tweaks for making the battery life longer. And don't say "Yeah use WM"

Camera, GPS and battery consumption needs fixing then this would be a viable choice for a mobile operating system.

Useless thread, I vote for closing this one.

Hopefully nobody is gonna posting here, it would end up in a terrible mess...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Tigermoto:
Just a thought.

Hi guys, was just having a read about this. I'm certainly not brave enough to try this just yet but i note a few of you are struggling with stability. Could this be down to a lack of RAM? Especially as my Diamond is not exactly brimming with it. Anyway, i was looking through these pages and came across this. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=408651 It's getting on a bit but it's a WM6.1 with TF3D that can be uninstalled. Had a bash, uninstalled Touchflo and put PointUI in. After messing about for an hour i ran CleanRAM on full purge and only recovered 2.1Mb but had a Whopping 49.8Mb free RAM. Might it be worth a look? Surely running Android it's hardly like you need TF3D stealing all your memory. Just food for thought.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dieselboy:
There are better cooked roms that only take up 30% of the available RAM. I managed to happily run Android albeit a little sluggish with only 20% of my ram available. I'm not sure what happens to the active windows mobile OS though. However it's only for testing. If you decided to run it as a full OS you would need it to boot into that OS.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dieselboy:
I can think of a few reasons why this thread is not useless. However I can see your point about many threads becomming messy.

Why not close the not working thread and have a working / testing thread? :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Tigermoto:
Good call, I'm not exactly in the know so i just thought i'd mention it. Like i said i haven't tried it and i'm not well up on anything smaller than a PC. I bow to your superior knowledge.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] TecHunter:
As some of you keep saying there is already another thread about android but this one is there only for testing purposes. I've just posted here for those who would like to test the 1.6 android milestone without going through all the NOT YET WORKING thread.

So you can close this one if it makes you happy, I don't really care I just love testing and sharing.

btw, megaupload mirror is up :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] xaoc747:
Hi TecHunter! Thank you for sharing Android for Diamond!!! Is any news or changes??? Also a question - WIFI is working or not? And how turn ON it??? Thx Bro!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] emresumengen:
Yep, but did you check how many pages that thread contains???

Is it logical to think someone might even read all pages? And the thread is full of same questions, repeatedly asked jumping 30-50 pages...

That might be the discussion thread, but there should be some place to get the results of that discussion in a consolidated manner.

Not everyone here is a developer, I for myself don't understand the devs/hacks etc. But I can

a) Read and learn, if it's provided in an understandable way and reasonable size

b) Test and review, and give feedback if requested.

So, shall I still struggle to read all there's written on the "NOT WORKING" thread?

Lock this thread, IT IS NOT WORKING !

Maybe a modo can lock this thread because it is non sense to have a thread saying 'It works' , in fact it does not works, no gps, no camera.....

And we already have an 'offcial' thread in this section about Android and Diamond !

it is just booting and no more fonctionnality than the other thread.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] schweinshax:
No.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] TecHunter:
Define "working"......

If by that you mean no bug at all then most software won't "work".

Else if you mean working= have access to all available hardware functionnality then IPod Touch/Phone is a joke too.

If like me you mean working= can boot properly and be stable and able to play around then yeah it works. Yeah camera and GPS don't work but I don't care I've said it in OP. If you don't want to use it don't use it, be my guest.

Diamond Radio

I think that Radio installed on the device can make a big difference in the way Android behaves on Diamond. Can anyone confirm that ? And if so can the users who have positive experiences with this Android build can post what radio are using ?

test results

Hi,

I tested the stuff on a HTC Diamond.

Works pretty good.

I managed to configure internet conectivity via Vodafone. Browsing worked via default browser. Mail was also ok.

WiFi detected some networks, but not all networks in the area.

SMS works, call work. General system feeling was good. No lags or delays.

Problem (s):

As far as I saw, my home butoon was mapped to the menu button.

In the AP screen, if was quite difficult to show the "New Ap" dialog. Long press, short press.. It finally apeared but it took some tries.

Also, in the home screen pressing that key seemed to focus the lower arrow of the menu. It also took some tries to get the menu with the settings to be displayed.

Anyway.. great job!
