Updated the rootfs.img and the dataconnection works fine again, thanks!

Market also works fine, and hopefully also hardware 3D, so I can check out SpeedX 3D :D

Everything seems to be running very smooth, nice work guys!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] R^7Z:
Not connected to WiFI, I can pickup my router and connect but I use my unlimited data plan for everything else
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] IceBone:
Tried it before, same thing. Only the 02.01. rootfs.img (pre-bluetooth) seems to work ok for me.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] bangbang023:
Latest rootfs fixed my data issue
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] lbhocky19:
wifi works for me and i got rid of my data plan how do i make it stop connecting to 3g or attempting to?

i already turned off data roaming, and turned off background data and auto sync. anything else?

and what kind of battery do you guys get? mines dropping real quick is that just the wifi or does it always drain
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] IceBone:
In wireless settings tick use only 2g.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] bangbang023:
Baqttery life is terrible lol. Main reason I stick to WinMo for every day use.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] R^7Z:
I believe theres an option to keep 3G off under "Settings > Wireless & network settings > Mobile networks". The option is grayed out for me unfortunately...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] datnukkapenut187:
Go to wireless & networks,go to apn or something like that, and delete the address such as wap.cingular.com, that's the address that connects you to the network, what I do is just delete the whole thing, I would give more detail but I aalready removed the Feb. 27th version adding the March
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] DHSoccer4:
download an APP called APNDroid in marketplace. works great to block data
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] phhusson:
Oh yes, 12hours is terrible....

No wait what ?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] bangbang023:
I'm sorry but 12 hours of standby is terrible. I still think the project is amazing, but for my day to day use, I can't get to a charger every 10 - 12 hours.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] lbhocky19:
ok thanks for those answers

hopefully last questions

is there a file explorer of some kind? and picture viewer?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] bangbang023:
Android doesn't really have a browseable file structure like WinMo, but I think you can get picture viewers off of the market.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] IceBone:
Astro file manager for file exploring and here is a working .apk for the sexy 3D gallery from the Nexus One.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] mpg187:
Okay before I ask, the data.img file is / on the Linux system so every folder under / except for /sdcard is in there? Kinda like in WinMo how \ is in the phone's internal ROM/RAM and every folder under there (\Windows,\Program Files,\My Documents) except for \Internal Storage is. So when Android says my phone has 256 internal MB, that 256 MB really resides on data.img on my phones "SD Card" (The HTC internal 4GB is seen as a storage card by WinMo and Android. Where on a phone that comes with Android that 256 would be on it's own chip (like \Windows in WinMo)

Where /sdcard and \Internal Storage are the HTC's 4GB Storage (Which WinMo and Android see as an SD card).

So if I use the ADB driver I will only be able to mount data.img/Android's Internal Storage?

I kinda thought having Android on the "SD Card" would interefere with things because if I mount it on my PC it's not mounted on my phone, and if I an ruunning Android off it then it would have to be mounted on my phone...

Anyways, if I can't mount it as a standard USB drive, are there other ways I can access the HTC 4GB storage like I can in WinMo, even if I have to install extra software on my PC?

Like if I use ActiveSync I can acccess the same drive where WinMo is stored...

PS sorry for the bad grammar as I typed all this on my phone as was forgetting what I was saying while I was typing...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] blazzr:
How long does it takes for you guys for the data connection to start working after coming out of airplane mode or after enabling APNs (with WiSyncPlus or APNdroid)?

That is, how long it takes before the 3G or G icon appears and you are able to use for example the browser)?

For me it takes about two minutes (should be only a few seconds). It's not a show stopper, but annoying. Is the reason in some data connection workaround in the current Android kernel?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] IceBone:
It is about 10-15 seconds, yeah, 2 minutes seems far too long.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] bharris25:
Astro is a pretty awesome file manager.

Congrats on making my TP a better device

Hi - just wanted to offer a big congrats and thank you for providing these builds and working on making Android a flawless user experience on these devices.

Right now, the only thing stopping me from constant use is battery life (only getting around 4 hrs max). If anybody has any idea when this issue may be resolved, please let me know.

Again, thanks for showing me that there's life after Windows on the older HTC devices.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] gKNOWS:
This has been happening to me ever since 01.24 build...wifi has never worked after that build either :(

Topaz problem.

Please help!

I notice can't atartup my Topaz from rev 03/01. Even change the startup.txt with corrected of "set KERNEL zImage" file from the STARTUP CONFIG folder.

Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] gKNOWS:
YES my wifi finally turns on with the latest 03.01 build but so far havent been able to connect to my router or well my laptop's internet sharing =/

Wifi isn't working for me :(

Do I have to use a different build? How do I go from my build to a new one? Will I lose my settings/apps/etc?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
For everyone having problems with GPRS and WiFi, i suggest you update to the latest rootfs.img and zImage/modules.

Links are available on the 2nd post and see if that fixes your problem.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] R^7Z:
Only reason I usually start over with apps and settings and such is if I get an error while booting into Android. As always, make a backup once you have a working copy and give thanks to those who assist you in getting Android working on your device! Also, if at all possible, donations are always appreciated, whether they be passing on your experience or even a buck or two!:cool:
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] mpg187:
So do I just download those files and overwrite?

Also sound isn't working for me, it was before though...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] McHale:
my data didn't work when I updated. I used the latest rootfs and it fixed it.

Why hasn't anyone told me youtube now works?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] chrialex:
It's a conspiracy. They knew that if you found out, you would be sucked in and your brain would be consumed. Oh, wait, that's Hulu, not YouTube. Nevermind. *you didn't read what I just said...*
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] IceBone:
Well, the latest rootfs/zImage/modules fixed wifi, but broke geolocation. :P
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] gmanfuzing:
thats not the problem

the problem is, haret is looking for that specific zimage

mines doing it too, im about to format my card and see if that fixes things. or just rename the zimage to fit that one

***EDIT*** however pluggin in ".20100207_140206" without the quotes after the zimage forced it to work :] better than nothing i guess.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] R^7Z:
This might sound like a stupid question but could editing the STARTUP.TXT file so that it would read "set KERNEL zImage", work just as well :confused:
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
lol it was working for awhile now :p

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] glenn1982:
Trying the latest build but it will not boot....stuck on blackscreen.

If I use the same kernel that is in the 01.03 build, but with Glossy theme build it will boot. Any suggestions?

root access denied?

With the 2010.03.01 build + latest rootfs, I can't get root access anymore? Used ConnectBot and pTerminal to confirm.

I have a small "backup" script which needs root to access/write some files, and it used to work with previous builds.

$ su

su: permission denied

Any suggestions?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] chrialex:
I was getting the same problem with a couple other apps from the market. Reformatted my card and trying it all again for a different problem, will update if it is fixed or not.

EDIT: It seems to be working now. Not sure the cause.

How can I prevent apps from running at startup. Upgraded to latest rootfs and zimage + modules, but I get like 15 apps to run at startup and the phone becomes very slow and I get the "not responging" message all the time :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] lugiber:
Tried the new release with updated rootfs and latest kernel from glemson. It's extremely slow and unresponsive, i get a lot of "wait"/"force close" messges on the screen. I'm not sure whats wrong since the other bulds have worked good. The build is so slow that it took me five minutes just to get to the menu where i setup the apn.

The data.img is new and i'm using the STARTUP.txt for raph100.

Sorry, don't mean to sound like i'm complaining. I really appreciate all the hard work you guys have put into this release and the porting of android!

EDIT:

After configuring the APN the phone still freezes when going to deep sleep.

hi all..,

last night i've tried 27.02.10 build and everything running well, include wifi...

today i've downloaded latest build 01.03.10 and zip it in my internal storage (delete all the previous file related to android) and then start haret..

everything is going well except wifi, it always said "unable to start WI-FI"..

in previous build i didn't have this problem.., any solution..???

thx
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] cynepmeh:
Download latest kernel and rootfs and Wi-Fi will be fixed...

Thank u so much for all ur wonderful work, I have satisfied experience with the latest 01.03.10 build on my diamond 2, but there is still no sound on my device, is there any solutions could help me?

Thx!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] zen15:
thanks bro..., now WIFI working.....:D with the latest kernel and rootfs

but now i don't have any sound......:(

open sound and display setting, set ringer volume to max, choose phone ringtone, but none inside, only silent can pick..

any idea how to fix this....?????
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] rvdgeer:
Wow, last week you guys accomplished some major improvements on this project!

XDAndroid gained a lot of speed on my Diamond (DIAM100).

This is my set-up at the moment:

Build: 01.03.10

RootFS: 20100228-a4ca79c

zImage: 20100228_215234

I modified the cc_disksize in conf/eclair.user.conf to 20 as suggested for the diamond by PHUSSON in this post.

I can recommend this setup to anyone with a HTC Touch Diamond (DIAM100)!

Only things that keep this form a stable day-to-day ‘capable’ build is some issues with wifi/resetting, battery polling being unstable and battery drain…

And it would be nice if we could use the camera and GPS ;)

In short:

Thank you guys for all your hard work!

My compliments!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] rajeshjha84:
Same problem... also I haven't done anything for overclocking. is it necessary?

EDIT: tried c_disksize in conf/eclair.user.conf to 20 and problem solved.

3G problem

Hi, thank you for this great job.

I've just install the last build (01/03/10), the APN setting seems good but i can't access to the internet. With the last build (08/02/10), it worked perfectly. What should i do? Do other people have the same problem? I have the DIAM 100 on the sfr network (France)

I've just test the 28/02/10 build and with this build the 3G work fine

Again, thank you all for this great job
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Toet45:
Yes, I have the same problem.

The last build (1/3/10) runs so smooth on my raph100. Everything works like a charm, phone, sms, wifi.

Just the GPRS network won't connect. My settings are fine, but it just can't connect. It did with the build before this one.

Thanks again for all the great work.

We could try another zImage and/or Rootfs. I'm not quite sure what it does at this moment. :)

Edit: I didn't install much apps, only abduction and gallery. This gives me a rather good battery life. When I installed all the apps from the Androidapps folder, my battery drained very quick. So maybe this is a tip for people with short battery life.

I guess that some programs run on the background and drain some of that battery.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] CyberKieken:
I have the same problem as Toet45 and pykou...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] cynepmeh:
OK. So I modified the cc_disksize in conf/eclair.user.conf to 20 as suggested for the diamond by PHUSSON in this post. Now my phone is very fast and doesn't l oad all the apps on startup.

COOOOOL :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] cepalermo:
Actually that IS the problem. Haret ONLY looks for the zimage that is listed in the startup.txt. So his response was to change the startup.txt to match the zimage name.

Doing it your way was a little backwards. Renaming the zimage to an incorrect name might confuse you later on.

Just make sure they match, see my zimage is called : whatchamacallit2000. Works like a charm, lol.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Toet45:
Hmm, gonna test this on my Raphael. If it works on a diamond, hey why not? :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] canthonyza:
3G Not working

I can see the 3G icon, but it doesnt seem to connect to the internet. No activity shows on the arrows either. I deleted the conf and data.img, but doesnt seem like this build is working for me. Previous build worked.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] beboxed:
The comment in eclair.user.conf says that its default is 1/4 of the total ram size.

On my Diamond the ram is 192MB, so the best value should be something like 48... I'll just give it a go
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] helicopter88:
can someone post a mirror for the latest rootfs.img?

i can't download...it stops after downloading 2 mb or i get the 503 error when opening the page
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] KoolTurk:
I modified the system.sqsh using squashfs tools and overwrote Settings, Contacts, Phone and Spareparts.apk from 2.1 (cyanogenmod) now I lost the root access.. any advice?

...and yep, phone does not work, no voice on calls:)) I guess, I revert back to the original system, I just wanted to get rid of some apps like MMS and advancedtaskkiller, driving me nuts :)) I like the ES Task manager better, put the widget on the home screen and kill'em all!

Someone was asking how to control which app may autostart, I would like to know that as well, I have been digging but not found that info.. It would be nice not to have to kill apps every once in a while, again driving me nuts eating lots of memory :))

Overall, I love Android. I think it is the best OS we can have on our phones so far. I have been using it since Christmas and I love it. thank you guys!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] beboxed:
WOW! Finaly Android is usable!!

I've now set cc_disksize in conf/eclair.user.conf to 48 (for DIAM100 that has 192MB RAM), and the increase of speed is huge!

Is there a posibility that this is programatically calculated as this setting has such a big influence on the devices speed?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] zen15:
how to modified the cc_disksize...??? the link is broken..

sorry for the noob question

thx

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] JesusFreak316:
I'm working on it. I'll hopefully have a system.ext2 with write access uploaded to my mediafire by the end of the week. As said before, it is a property of a .sqsh file to be read only so no modifications as it is now.

Hola

hablas español??, pues asi te entendiaria mejor, si, esa es mi pregunta como instalarlo..

Hello

speak Spanish??, as well entendiaria you better, if, that is my question how to install ..

A greeting
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] zen15:
ehm...excuse me...

but how exactly to do that..?

i mean after reboot on android in the device? or just opened it with notepad?

sorry..., i really don't know how to edit it..:confused:
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] cynepmeh:
open it with notepad on your computer, edit it, than copy it to the android folder, finally start haret.exe and enjoy :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] rvdgeer:
OK, I understand you want to install this for the first time on your RAPH100.

As I have a DIAM100 (with Internal Storage) for me it's a little different, but I think this is what you have to do to install it on a SD Card:

1. Get a clean SD Card (or one you are willing to wipe) and format is to FAT32.

2. Download the latest package (01.03.10 at the moment) from http://htcandroid.xland.cz or from http://xdandroid.southcape.org (mirror) to your PC.

3. Extract the package to a folder (eg. C:\XDAndroid\) on your PC!

4. Copy the correct startup.txt for your device from the STARTUP CONFIG folder (eg. C:\XDAndroid\STARTUP CONFIG\RAPH) to the root (eg. C:\XDAndroid)

4a. Open the copied startup.txt with notepad and replace "zImage.XXXXXX" with "zImage" (without the quotes)

4b. Rename the zImage file in the root (eg. C:\XDAndroid\zImage.XXXXXX) to "zImage" (this means: delete the "." and everything behind it!)

5. Copy the apps you want from the subfolders (eg. C:\XDAndroid\AndroidApps\Games) to the AndroidApps root (eg. C:\XDAndroid\AndroidApps)

6. Delete the STARTUP CONFIG folder and the subfolders in AndroidApps

7. Copy the contents of the rootfolder (eg. C:\XDAndroid) to your SD Card (Do not copy the rootfolder itself, only the contents!)

8. Insert your SD Card in your RAPH100, open a file explorer on your device and start haret.exe

That should be all...

Please correct me if I'm wrong!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] chrialex:
I think all you need to do is open it in notepad, edit, launch android. Not sure if it needs to be done before an initial launch or not though. I haven't played with it on my RAPH800 yet.

EDIT: rvdgeer, does the Startup Config folder/contents need to be deleted? I understand that once you have to correct one you don't need it, just curious if it would cause problems if left.

Anyone know the 'best' value for cc_disksize on the RAPH800?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] cynepmeh:
I think he doesn't need to do initial launch. When I changed mine the effect was immediate
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] wolfpack612:
i found a quick easy way to do it using an app called staysafe. i bookmarked the tutorial on my 2nd OS on my pc. i'll boot into it later and get the link. i did it a few weeks ago with the system file from the 02/08 android build, worked pretty smoothly.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] rvdgeer:
Have you tried both the links?

You can click the name of the latest rootfs (with the date in it) or the link which says "rootfs-latest.img"!

[EDIT]

Both the links:

rootfs-20100228-a4ca79c.img

rootfs-latest.img

I believe they should point to two different files with the exact same content as long as the first one is the latest released.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] helicopter88:
i've downloaded it...thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] wolfpack612:
en tu startup.txt tienes que borrar el .20100207_140206 despues de zimage, el archivo solo se llama zImage
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] rvdgeer:
I edited my post with the tutorial (here).

Make sure the name of the zImage in the root is exactly the same as the name of the zImage in the startup.txt

It's probably best if you rename "zImage.XXXXX" (XXXXX = date and time) to "zImage" (just that, no dot nor date and time) and do the same in the startup.txt

Also make sure you have copied alle files and dirs form your root (eg. C:\XDAndroid) to the SD Card!
