[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] -gb-:
as i understood the haret thing, it completely kicks windows out of the ram and takes full control over the device. so it does not run in any kind of virtual machine or hyperviser.

how else should android be able to turn on wifi or to access the devices? the android/linux commands must reach the real hardware. the only virtual machine i know of, which runs n windows mobile is bochs. and it is very slow.

but i may be wrong but i think i am not^^

(red the lines while linux is booting)

Hi guys.

I have big problem with haret.

At first - I've read three times every point of tutorial how to run, secondly i try also three times and every time i have the same effect. (yes, i've format to fat32, tryied with diffrent packs etc)

When i click in haret icon in internal storage I don't see normal haret window like this (i know that this is kaiser, no diamond ;) )

But only boot meter bar. after it, i don't see hundreds off text code lines, but screen freeze, on the left side i see very very very small bar in diffrent colors.

i pictured it :p

where is the problem?

- I tryied to reformat storage.

- i tryied with diffrents packages.

- with and without "android aplications" folder.

- yes, i have in startup diamond.

Please be good guys and help :)

thx from above :)

Just discovered this thread today, it contains outdated files which have been mirror by connect-utb from my build over at the Raphael forums. I suggest linking to my thread or linking the latest files and updates from my thread as it will surely solves most of the problems people are having here.

I do believe its a good idea to have a diamond thread though so we can threads alot cleaner.

Overall good work with helping other members with Android. :)

Hi, already quoted you in my OP.

I try to keep my files up to date, latest build is 05jan I will update new files according to your post. I was watching your post don't worry, just didn't have the time yet

Try:

-delete data.img

-another startup.txt

Android Eclair isnt any option anymore,bcoz of the media/ringsignal bug :mad:

Any timeframe on a fix on that?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jfran:
what bug, if you are having problems with ringtones ie only the silent option being available, you need to format your Internal Storage or SD if using another device.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jfran:
Android and WinMo

when Haret is activated, android is booted and WinMo shut down
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ruskprick:
Isnt that a bug?Your advice is just a workaround not an option in my case.Got my TomTom on my internal storage.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jfran:
Not necessary to format but recommended, if you experience problems with being able to turn on sound for ringtones, a format is necessary, if all works fine, then no need to format the card.

just back up Tomtom files / folders to PC, then transfer it after the disc formatted, alternatively reinstall TT via TTH

Fast Booting Android on Startup!!

There has been a Light ROM released over in the Raphael forum to facilitate a fast boot to Android, that thought had crossed my mind earlier, but then again what is I wanted to get back to WinMo.

Instead of going through the hassle of flashing another ROM, I simply created a shortcut to HaRET in windows startup folder and set up the device to act as a disc drive in USB to PC connectivity. So when the device is booted, it starts winMo then boots Android automatically, no intervention on my part, then if I wanted to revert to WinMo, just reset the device and connect to a PC hindering the launching of HaRET...

Any thoughts

Hi.

THX TecHunter, i wiped all of my storage (witch was FAT32), format to FAT (not fat32), reformat once again and everything work this time correctly (i don't know wy it help - but help).

Some opinions about this production (from G1 user sigh-view (look-view? i don't know how is it in english))...

Disadvantages (IMO of course)

1. SLOW, slow^2. But keep going.

2. Battery live-time is critical - only two hours (when i talk three or four times by 5 minutes)

3. PIN code required - some sim cards in poland has blocked pin off/on switching, it's terribling - i can't use it with my main card, only with third "fun card with some MB's packages".

Positive

1. 2.1 look - this push me to think about danger SPL in my G1 for use coocked 2.X roms :)

2. Everything works (better or worse but works) - big beer for it :p If not battery short life-time it will be main system in my Diamond.

So... keep going nice job, you do it great.

Everything looks better since my last time when i was emulating android on HTC Elfin.

i'll have "an eye" for this project :)

thx a lot for helping.

First a BIG THANKS to TecHunter for a very nice guide which helped me set up and run Android in my Diamond in only minutes :)

I did not format my 4 Gig Internal Storage in my Diamond and everything that's supposed to work still seems to work fine...

It was a big surprise to see how good everything works on my Diamond. I've also downloaded a few really really good games from the Android market with nice graphics and performance... We need games like these for WM!!! The browser though was barely useable imo since the scrolling was very jerky, also sometimes there were major stuttering when scrolling in menus in the Android UI, but when it worked well it was quite smooth (although I wish it could've been slightly smoother)...

To sum it up it was a pleasant experience though I still prefer running wm with tf3d until the scrolling in menus runs better and it doesn't suck up all the battery juice in almost no time :)

Android on Touch Diamond

Works surprisingly well. Battery life is tragically low. Booted into it on full battery at around 9 in the morning and it was pleading for a charger by half 10...

Cant wait for the GPS and camera drivers to be fixed. Huge potential for being a WinMo replacement.

Also, is there anyway to get HTC Scenes like on the Hero?? Probably would be a bit laggy like Sense 2.5 I imagine but it would look nice. ^^
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] TecHunter:
I'm just using it as base as the newest mirrors were down when I did this topic.

Yeah I know, I made it simple. If someone wants to mess with the modules/kernel img, they should know about this.

my bad, mispelled. anyway its minor error

nothing to add.

As for myself, I didn't have any problem.

Sometimes help

No problem for me.

Good to know, I didn't try Eclair thoroughly as I'm on my new HD2 :p

Please let us know if you have any good information on this.

i.e. if you know good base package where we can download because last time I checked, there was no autobuild package available.

Anything you can say may help us (me for sure) to improve this thread so don't hesitate plz :)

wow.... im actualy really impressed with this!!

i tried android on my Diamond a long while back and it basicaly just didnt work...

But this works perfectly so far for me, everything i normal use works fine, texts, pics music etc...

Whats the latest build of the Android OS that is avalable?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] TheContact:
Cool! Thanks for the guide! :D

Using the zImage from a few days back and everything runs fairly smoothly, apart from the erratic battery. Actually got me thinking about jumping ship to the Nexus One. Everything seems to work much better when the interface is designed to be finger friendly. Even kinetic scrolling appears smoother.

*sigh* Such a hard decision, Nexus One or HD2 :P

Guess I'll just have to play a bit more :D

something wrong went good :).

Wy post..dont know maby help to someone ore get some one to think?!

i connected to winxp in WinMo as DiskDrive.

Right Clicked in Winxp on the drive and format to fat32.

Reboot and no storage card was found offcourse in WinMo.

I did a soft reset(volDown+Enter)i went for nr2 in the meny(Restore and formatmoviNAND).

Internal memory was ok again

connectes ones again as DiskDrive and put the Android(Android-2.0.1 CUSTOM Edition) files to root + boot or data img from this release:linux-msm:htc-msm-2.6.27..cant remember and the files are not avalible :(.

Before this the battery went flat after 3-4h in standby :( now its on 58% after 45mins play with Astro,backgrounds,insalling apps mm,15min of wifi,1phone call,3sms + 6h of standby :).Runs a lot smoother,no lag even in "nexus one" X boot :)

How come??

Impressive work

Have not followed "Android on Diamond" problem almost for a year (got a HTC Magic/G2) and just tested stuff presented in first post... VERY IMPRESSIVE - Phone, WiFi, Camera, Orientation sensor - and pretty fast too.

I can directly compare to same OS running on Magic hardware - and I'm very impressed, everybody involved have done fantastic job.

And looks like I'd definitely prefer this over (just tried too) WinMo 6.5 clean... Keep up the good work!..

WOW!!! I've just updated the zimage to the one here: http://zimages.googlecode.com/svn/a...sm-android/zImage-modules-20100116_163203.tar

An incredible performance improvement!!!

Everything is very smooth and nice :) Actually I think it's even faster than SPB Mobile Shell... Now if only the camera would work and slightly better battery life, I would use this as my main OS on my Diamond and that says a lot since I prefer performance over eye candy!!!

But this android ui is so beautiful! I've noticed everything is so high contrast nice looking and all. When restarting my phone and booting into windows everything looks dull and boring again...

I have tons of windows related files and folders in my Internal Storage and I haven't formatted even once and still everything works great!!! :)

My only concern is if there's any risk that android might overwrite some windows files or folders while running?

do we have any update on the Battery Drainage problem?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] owziee:
The battery drainage seems a bit less now but on the other hand I turned wifi off after downloading a few apps and games from the android market...

Also the phone doesn't run very hot anymore, which is very nice... I noticed the youtube app now plays smooth video too...

One thing that annoys me though is that I need to press harder on the screen when I'm in Android... In windows I've adjusted the pressure threshold to 240 if I remember correctly and I just need to press very very gently to get response, isn't there a way to adjust this in Android??? I guess it's harder since there's no registry in Android if I'm correct??

Also I need to ask this question again since it worries me all the time when I'm running android... Is there a posibility android will suddenly overwrite files and stuff in my Internal Storage, since I have a lot of windows files and apps and other important stuff there, I've never formatted the 4 Gig internal storage, androind still runs completely fine...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] figgerich:
I read somewhere that some special characters may stop the indexing service of android. Causing that, Android thinks there wouldn't be any music files on the storage. I found somewhere a tool, someone has written, showing all files and folders with this special characters. Because all such files and folders where in my music folder i deleted it and copied only some tracks with normal letters and no special characters in their names and well android could finally find all ringtones and these music tracks.

Connected external antenna to ipaq hx4700. Antenna was from a Belkin Mimo router that had the right size connector (very small IPX connector)

First removed existing connector/wire on wifi board that leads to onboard antenna, then connected external antenna wire to board.

Antenna was omni-directional so there was not much difference in signal. Might try making a directional parabola to fit around the rubber ducky and test with mini stumbler.
