just a question i need to ask, i currently have a 1GB SD card and i believe its Class 2, i notice slow performance on the android.....im planning to get this 8GB Micro SDHC card which is Class 6, the fastest...you think i would notice a HUGE difference in performance if i purchase this??

http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Cla...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1263668042&sr=1-1

heres an 8GB Sandisk M2 card and the read speed is 10mb/s and it sounds fast

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=05VFNH7TBXWT39CWS785

idk which one is better
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] IceBone:
Downloading the new build too. If I want to keep all my settings, I should keep the old data.img, correct?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Insaneboy:
uhhh... the M2 one won't work on your phone.

It's a memory stick card not SD card. (sony's crap)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] kingofslackerz:

Just to report that live wallpapers are really smooth in blackstone with lastest build and kernel.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] IceBone:
Ok, trying it now. Hope nothing gets messed up.

anyone knows how to get google voice to work?

Markets told me that google voice was installed but I got no option to run it or uninstall it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] XERO_Racer:
ok but what about the class 6 card on the this link...is that good to make android run real good?? or is there no difference between that and a class 2??

because im about to gamble and see if its gonna make a difference and worth it

FREAKIN' SWEET! Just applied 16.01.2010 and I am very impressed, especially with Live Wallpaper. I am using star field at speed 2 and 125 stars, in the interest of not beating up the battery too badly, and it looks great.

I'll report back after a day of use if I find any new issues or can confirm corrected old issues. I am also going to look at my bank account and see what I can donate to the cause. You guys deserve it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] IceBone:
Very impressive, indeed! It's miles faster. Once opengles is up and running, it should be as smooth as silk. Big ups to everybody! I'm quite chuffed! The live wallpapers just slowed everything down, so I'm back to standard picture wallpaper.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] MrryMsscre:
N00b question coming up, Whats opengles and what does it do?

I know it has something to do with 2D, 3D and is used in the CAD application.

cheers
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
OpenGLes is OpenGL for Embedded Systems (like phones)

It doesn't make anything faster per se.... it's just a programmers tool (API) to help make graphics. However, with the right OpenGLes drivers, they can utilise any hardware graphics acceleration, which SHOULD improve the speed of the UI.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] gm112:
Wow. That's all I have to say. Running the latest autobuild with the latest eclair package and allow me to say, what a huge difference you guys have made in the last year! I can most certainly see this as a replacement OS within the next few months. I just realized a huge improvement after waiting a couple days for another update. Haha, oh wow.. Sorry. I'm just impressed. I was wanting to ditch my HTC Fuze due to how unhappy I have been with it lately. You guys may have just given it some hope before I ditch it.. XD. Keep up the good work! : D

EDIT: I look forward to OpenGL ES support ;D. It's kind of amazing how this is all running in software, yet, it still performs better than Windows Mobile >: (. I've been seriously unhappy with that OS for quite some time now.

EDIT #2: 3G Internet seems to work fine, as well.. interesting.

Quick question: What's the easiest way to transfer files between the phone and my computer without going into winblows? I tried uploading screenshots to flickr or some other site, but it says uploading disabled. I'm now trying DroidFtp, but that's being a ***** to install in market... keeps hanging at "starting download".
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Insaneboy:
If you've got wi-fi at home - ES File Explorer does a fine job of downloading something shared from a PC.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] IceBone:
I found wifi to be a bit buggy still. Turning it off would freeze the phone, requiring a reboot.

DroidFTP decided to install itself and wifi turning off didn't freeze the phone this time, so...

:D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] :
I downloaded the latest build today... you guys are progressing extremely fast!

My only (major) complaint so far is the power management. Android drained a fully charged battery in 2 hours with WiFi on and in 2-3 hours with WiFi off. The horrible power management is currently the only thing stopping me from using Android as my main OS.

Small question: what driver do you use for WiFi? TIWLAN or wl1251?

Anyway, thanks for these amazing builds and keep up the good work!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] kingofslackerz:
Battery seems to be getting worse for me. I just upgraded from the Jan 2/4th build(one w/o wifi)

I think wifi is the difference. I deleted my data.img and started new, even with syncs off etc, my battery even seems like it's having problems charging. The top of the device is hot as hell, I think I could use it as a USB Cup warmer, lol. It drained in 4-5 hours today, when I was getting 10-12 before.

I had a question about push mail, I have everything fowarded to my one gmail account so I can just use push from it. Is setting it up for "Auto Sync" the same as push mail? I don't see any settings the describe it as "Push"????
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
You must have some process preventing sleep as i can achieve upto 10-12 Hours of Android use.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] reverendkjr:
Not sure if this matters, but during the linux startup of the most recent build, i get a line that says "SQL, table carriers has 17 rows but only 16 calls" or something like that. I don't seem to be experiencing any new issues, but this is the first time i've seen that message.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Wil Badger:
What did you use to take the screen caps?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] IceBone:
App called ShootMe. Start it up and shake the phone to take the screenshot. It'll save the .png in sdcard/ShootMe/
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Wil Badger:
I have tried that but it would give me an error. Pretty much came down to not being able to get busybox onto the phone I think.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] IceBone:
Looks like it's fixed now.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
I struggle to believe it's purely down to some rogue process...

It's already clear that there is a significant disparity between the battery levels reported by WinMo and those in Android. I have physically seen the reported capacity drop from 15 to 14 to 13 in less than 30 seconds then recover to 20% by going into deep sleep and coming back out immediately....

Basically, I can't (yet) trust Android's assessment of the battery, therefore I cannot trust its charging capabilities either. It's not clear is the charging is performed with input from Android, or if it's handled entirely offboard, but at the moment, I think it's too easy to say "some process is consuming it all"

On WinMo, I can run iGo8 which is pretty processor intensive, with Wifi and GPS and get perhaps 2 hours. Yet I can only just manage that on Android (Blackstone).

I do not doubt there ARE some dodgy processes running, but I do fear there are bigger culprits too.

Please don't think this is criticism, I am outstandingly impressed with the results so far (results I did not think would be feasible at all), and I have a great deal of faith that at the current rate of progress, someone will discover some of the more significant culprits of power drain.... (e.g. GPS chip is running, WiFi management is questionable, radio is seeking networks excessively, some DSP left running when not required to be etc etc).

I am sure there's more to it that just 'some process'

January 16 update

So far lovin' the new update, no problems as yet, only battery drain(I think I need a new phone and battery anyways), didn't lock up since i loaded the update files on it. It's def. smoother&faster than Jan. 14 update. Can't wait 'til this is finally fully ported. Great job developers, looking forward to the next update, no need to rush i'm patient. Because of you guys, this might be a deal breaker on whether I move to android or stay with windows(depending on how win 7 mobile looks). Thanks again
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] datnukkapenut187:
Try out some of the free task managers in the market place, they are automatic task killer, advanced task manager, they should get the job done, I had the live wallpaper running all day since I updated it this morning.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] IceBone:
Haven't had it run normally since I updated, but Advanced Task Killer comes with this, I use it all the time when I stop using the phone.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] datnukkapenut187:
Automatic task manager is the best i've used so far, it automatically ends the tasks you selected as soon as the phone comes out of sleep.

I just remembered the live wallpaper configuration, I dropped my speed to 2 instead of the default 4 it might be the speed slowing things down a bit, just an observation.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] gm112:
Android's Power Management seems to act weird on my RAPH110. It will report two different percentages at random rates. (eg: 62% will be displayed for 2 minutes, then it will show 59% for a minute, then 61% for a minute, etc..)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] IceBone:
It also drops down to bellow 15% (and activating the low battery warning) sometimes.

datnukkapenut187: do you mean it ends the tasks when going INTO sleep? If it ended them coming out of sleep, it would be quite useless.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] datnukkapenut187:
I wish they had an app for that, and if they did it would not be free, and you're right.

True, if it did the opposite it would probably save battery most likely, but mine was slowing down a lot on the last update( Jan. 15th), and my lock screen lags(then and now) sometimes, because apps and services were constantly starting up which was slowing down my system, and I haven't had any problems yet, except for answering calls, the screen lags and the battery drain is the only problem I have now.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Insaneboy:
I think that the devs stated earlier in the thread that the battery reporting isn't quite working, not to trust it and that they're working on it.

Please be patient. :)

They've gotten us so far, i'm sure they won't let us down.

Quick feedback / DIAM 100

Hello,

Here is my quick report :

What is Working on my DIAM 100 :

* Touchscreen / Vibration /Capacitive Buttons and Navigation wheel

* Keyboard / Radio

* GPRS

* Microphone works

* Charging

* Market

* Sound

* Wifi. Disabling and enabling. No freeze

* Task killer app.

* Android information program.

* SMS, Calls

Apps :

- Youtube : OK

- Map : geolocation works fine (France)

System is very responsive :)

Doen't work :

- Enabling BT / BT FTP

Not tested :

- BT headset

It is the best port of Android i have tested.

Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] IceBone:
Same here. BT is reported not to work in the first post anyway.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] colo-natas:
Just an FYI for you guys seeing weird battery estimates... The devs have commented a few times that the battery management driver isn't very good at determining battery level. It's just looking at output voltage. Unless something changed this should still be true.

You should see that if you use a ton of power and get the phone hot, a few minutes after you stop applications and the phone sleeps for a moment the battery level will increase. For now, don't trust the battery level so much. Back with the 06.01 release someone tested battery life and commented that their phone spent 2 (or was it 3?) hours at the 5% mark before finally dying. Although, on my Raph110 I have found it pretty accurate right when the phone comes out of sleep.

With the newest build and Live Wallpaper, starfield at speed 2 and 125 stars, I am at about 60% battery after 5 hours. Not too shabby for an unfinished port. I agree that there's probably some other issues, such as GPS or other chipsets running in the background, that are contributing to battery drain. I don't know if it makes a difference but I loaded the power control widget and shut down everything but sync and backlight.

Please keep in mind that this is with a Raph110 and standard battery. Different models will likely see much different results. I know that if I turn on wifi my battery will die very, very quickly.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Bob_eponge:
BT

BT was not reported to work on Android 1.6, but it worked with the app Bluetooth File Transfer.

Now, it does not.

Bye
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] gm112:
Ah, I was aware that Power Management was rather incomplete, but didn't know that they were already aware of this. :P My fault, for not really reading into everything. The "inaccuracy" seems to be only off by 2%(which isn't all that bad). Though, I'll put my phone into sleep mode to see how much more it helps improve everything. As I said in my earlier post before that one you quoted, I'm impressed with everything. Data works, phoen calling, texting, etc.. I honestly, can get away with using this as a replacement OS for Windows Mobile :P.

/me needs to find where the command line switch was to enable headset support so I can listen to my music via earphones XD. I know I saw it somewhere >_<.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] datnukkapenut187:
I have a Raph 110. Is that the exact name of the widget you use for power control?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] IceBone:
I just ran out of real estate on my home screen. :( Any way to increase the number in a future release or with an app/theme?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] xerootg:
If there was anyway i could help things along with bluetooth it would be great. I need BT, when that happens, i would use android as my daily os.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Wil Badger:
Most of the theme apps out there are install-able and will give you the option to run more screens. GDE always 5 I think. I have mine set at 3 for now.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Rick Chase:
This is just for feedback since I'm no developer but someone who enjoys do new stuff with an old cellphone.

Anyway.....I haven't had much time making calls or texting with the phone but did a lil browsing and stuff.

Main thing for me is its overall very slow which is to be expected, with a lot of forcecloses on random things. Other than being jittery the phone really has the look and feel of an android phone. Also every now and then when browsing through menus the screen goes black as if I hit the end key.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] IceBone:
Now I just need GDE. I can't find it in the market, is it a payable app?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] dcbogdan:
This last package is really cool!

It seems to me quite a bit faster than the previous, the new virtual keyboard layout is waaay better, I can actually type whole words without a mistake.

3G works ok. What I've noticed is that it just doesn't work the first time. I enter the APN details and it won't work, go again in settings retype the pass and this time it works just fine. And I know the password was correct the first time and this happened in the previous versions as well.

Also, I've noticed that just after booting the hardware buttons were acting weird, but after a few mins they started working properly.

Ah, I'm using a DIAM100.

Thanks a lot guys, you are doing a incredible job with this project!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Wil Badger:

Got it fixed, somehow the rootfs didn't copy over, so it was using my old file from donut. lol. Eclair boots fine but can't seem to find data connection. I'll toy with the startup since I didn't change from donut, someone posted one a few post back and I'll give it a go. Thanks for the quick reply! Eclair is much faster and prettier! Can't wait to use it with data!

Thanks again

I can't type SMS, the virtual keyboard doesn't pop-up..any idea? I,m using Diamond..thank you....

bad english,,,sorry..:p
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
If you want the screen resolution to be smaller, add lcd.density=210 to your startup.txt. That should make things easier to see
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
Data should be automatically configured, unless you have a really unknown data provider. I'm assuming you dont, anyway there isnt a need to enter the details into your startup.txt

Do it within Android :D Hopefully you'll know how to.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] cooljohn253:
alright, so i tried it again and i actually read the part that said "make sure to delete data.img"

so i did that, i have followed every other instruction also.

now console is hanging.. am i really just so stupid that i don't know what to do?

or does this just take awhile? it's still typing some stuff every now and then but what's actually readable is : "INFO: task rpcrouter: 15 blocked for more than 120 seconds"
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] cooljohn253:
i'll try this...

i'm gonna try to put data.img back in because i worked before i took it off.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
ok. first off please specify your device model and SD card

and what files are in your root and possibly label it to be from which file/date

delete data.img its no longer necessary.

core is to replace roots.img and zImage.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] cooljohn253:
okay so i get this before it repeats the same message, i think it has something to do with it?: "Mount: mounting /dev/block/loop0 on /data failed: Invalid arguement

failed

failed to mount /data

/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off"

then it goes back to the message about rpcrouter: 15 blocked for 120 seconds and i get that, every 120 seconds lol

i deleted the data.img like the first post said and i haven't put it back on because i noticed there was another one there.. does it make one automatically? does that need to be deleted again?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
nope. Is your device cdma?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] DarkyDan:
Tried on my Raph100, got the same issue with it being stuck on the nexus loading screen...but it loaded the second time fine...

If I try to turn off Airplane mode it instantly locks up and needs to be rebooted.. so I cannot test any calls/sms/google sync stuff.

Definitely snappier than the last version of Andriod on my phone.

I'm using the latest build and latest rootfs and syswhateverthing.

EDIT: I forgot to drop the new zImage on -facepalm- radio now working!!!

Awesome.

Dialer is a bit laggy, calls work perfect, testing other things will update with my experience
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] noellenchris:
d/l mine, let it build the data.img and it should work fine for the fuze..

raph110

PNY 4gb SDHC (which worked with this, just not with the new 24th.dec build)

as far as my root, i have personal stuff also, but the ones that are involved in android

root/

/AndroidApps

/conf

/media

-data.img

-FSCK0000.REC (idk if it has anything to do with it, but i get another one everytime i use haret)

-haret

-initrd.gz

-rootfs.img

-STARTUP.TXT (from: http://connect-utb.com/index.php?option=com_rokdownloads&view=folder&Itemid=68&id=3:htc-raphael-old (second download))

-system.sqhs

-zImage

Okay, so, the system.sqhs, zImage, and rootfs.img are not the ones from the first build. The reason i say that is because i renamed them from _2__rootfs.img and zImage.20091223_133259 respectively. Maybe that is an issue.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] cooljohn253:
asking me? no it's a fuze. gsm.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
Nope it should be okay. But try the one noellenchris posted. I was going to bundle a new pack but since you've already have i'll just use his one.

@noellenchris: Are you using all the files i posted or are there some files from other builds aswell?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
Please read previous posts. Delete your data.img and update your rootfs.img and zImage to the latest one
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] cooljohn253:
Alright, the one from him is halfway downloaded. The only file that isn't brand new is my system.txt and the only thing change in that is screen density to 210.

everything is the first post, first link wit the rootfs, system.hqhs, and zimage replaced from the 2nd, 6th and 7th link.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] herpez:
Hi! This is not port related, but android related so i understand this is not the perfect place to ask. However, if someone can help me, would be wonderful

1 - i have better keyboard and i apply some settings. After i reboot, all settings are gone. Any idea of why?

2 - to the devs - is there any special reason for using the button "End Call" to turn off screen, and use "power button" to turn it on? I say this because sometimes i miss the end key button.

3 - is possible to lower the "cut-off" of low bat? I say this because all of those battery warning would be better when bat < 5% and not 15% (and in my battery tests, battery <5% lasted 3 hours
