"First things first, this post is PURELY an instruction guide for noobies that aims to reflect the latest status and downloads (give or take a day)."

Hey all i just quoted whats written in the first page, cuz i need that to work for my noobish coming questions:

- Does it work for HD2 or not yet?

- If Yes, please help me by providing me the required links/downalods for that...

Really hard to run all over those 50 pages.

Many thanks and regards :-)

finally

Nice to see the Android ROM Development becoming reality for the Touch HD!

Can't wait to test it, when there are more things fixed, especially the Battery consumption ;)

Looking forward to this and thank you guys for making this possible!

Tried the first 4, and its more than 4 hours. I havent charged since last 7 hours, and had few calls + GPRS sync.

Plus, I disabled a lot of services like GTalk..dont rem the others since I am not using this... and believe these might be running the battery down...

I have been on XDAndroid for last 48 hours without booting into WinMo :rolleyes: and hope to continue.... (just one bit.. dint really figure out updating the zImage on Diamond....) Any help...

though I think I should go with the standard releases instead of simply updating the zImage.... Any advice

Sim card locked - wrong code..

Hey geeks :D

I got a problem with the sim card unlock screen. After booting android i got the "enter your pincode screen", and it looks good so nothing fishy here. BUT! when i'd entered the code of my simcard it says "not valid code" everytime:confused:

I've tried rebooting android and changing my wm rom to stock and back to cooked, I've tried everything back and forth but it keeps telling med that the code is wrong eventhough it's the same as i use in wm..

What could be wrong?

Thx guys!

[Touch HD Android Development] Speactra:
Fantastic! :)

Thanks guys for making this work! It's a fantastic progress since last time I tried to run Android.

I had a WinMo 6.5 ROM when I first tried, wich alone drained the battery in about 12 hours. With Android on top the battery drained in just a couple of hours.

I installed a WinMo 6.1 ROM : Barebone 2.6 and as I writing this Android has been running for 12 hours without charging, and in WinMo theres still about 50% of the battery :) I have used it very lightly today (just a couple of phonecalls, 3G is off, internet disabled and almost no playing with the phone) to get the capacity.

My Transcend SD-card, 8Gb didnt work. I have borrowed a Nokia standard SD wich works fine.

Deep sleep is not a big issue for me, it happend sometimes, often when someone is calling, but the few times it happends I think is worth it.

I tried the SetCPU trick though it still goes to deep sleep. Maybe not as often, will try to disable SetCPU and see if it sleeps more frequently.

The biggest issue for me is the speaker/hp jack problem as I use the phone to listen to music, so every time I want to listen I have to reboot and change the startup file. I hope this could be fixed, then this would be flawless! :)

Love it! Thanks, and keep up the great work! ;)

XDAndroid on CDMA

Has anyone gotten this to work on CDMA phones, such as the Touch Pro 2 for Verizon? I installed it, and everything works fine (well at least as you guys explained it would) but I cant seem to connect to any network, Ill try it later with an sim card, but it wont connect to Verizon, nor does it give it any options to config CDMA. And another thing, during initial set up, I assume there is a conflict because it wont get passed the enter "google account" screen. So I havent completed set up, but thats not a big deal, Im just worried about getting network services to work.
[Touch HD Android Development] mario925:

THANK YOU FOR LET ME TRY!!!
[Touch HD Android Development] Geeba:
Nothing here.... downloaded cab and zip

Cab file says failed to install ?

Zip file - I've extracted to a clean SD (that has worked with previous andriods fine) - followed the instructions - linux starts to boot then screen goes blank. I have left it for ages 10mins+ and nothing..

Am I missing something?
[Touch HD Android Development] fazm:
switch off sense?
[Touch HD Android Development] Geeba:
Aha! - I'll give that a try! :D

Thank you.
[Touch HD Android Development] miguel.netreg:
WOW - the installed cab file (v1.6) caused hard reset

WOW!.. :eek:

After I installed the nice a easy cab of v1.6 on my Blackstone, it all looked very nice until I clicked on the Android icon and it was booting up.

It froze up towards the end of the booting/loading, so I made a SOFT-reset... well, only to find out that it had done a hard reset by itself... Oops.. not what I had in mind, but thanks to SPB Backup, all I had to do was run a restore..

Anyone with similar experience?!..
[Touch HD Android Development] jukkus:
Kind of working, but cannot set up APN settings.

[Touch HD Android Development] glenn1982:
press home button and add apn....
[Touch HD Android Development] Myrddin Wyllt:
Was there a little white box in the place of the penguin when it froze?

This got me too...it's the touch screen calibration. During the first boot, you have to touch five points before it will finish loading Android.
[Touch HD Android Development] Signo371:
You mentioned CDMA phone....

You have a CDMA radio in the TP2 from Verizon, NOT a GSM.

Where do you expect to put the sim card?
[Touch HD Android Development] miguel.netreg:
I don't think it actually managed to completely load the Android. No graphics on the display but a black screen with backlight on actually. Seems like it may have stalled in some process in the initial load.

Hmm... not sure if I should try again with this build.. :confused:
[Touch HD Android Development] Shiv3r:
When is the next version comming?

Can't wait for a fully working android :D

[Touch HD Android Development] orange93:
I got to:

Step 3 - Run Android

Android is now installed... So launch 'Android' from your Program Files menu in WinMo. Your phone should reboot into Android with 2 quick vibrations.

Have patience... the first time you do this can take a LONG time (3 mins or more). During the first boot on SOME devices, you will be asked to calibrate the screen. This is very similar to Windows Mobile screen calibration (except it's in text mode).

The reason the first boot takes longer is that Android is 'preparing' your device for the first time. :-)

And my screen is frozen like in the picture below, what should I do now?
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
are you certain you installed to SD Card?
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Cab in broken how?...can you give more details? in the meantime, you can always use the zip...it's same, but you have to do some things manually (very little though)
[Touch HD Android Development] orange93:
Ya because I even used a card reader. Linux hasn't started since the first time I tried and it said waiting on sd card for a very long time so I restarted my phone... Could that have anything to do with Linux not starting up?
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
OK, you said it was frozen at the windows screen, but now it seems it's frozen elsewhere?

If you used a card reader you must have used the zip file right?... did you then run the mortscript installation file?

I need to get a clear understanding of what your phone is doing (is this a Blackstone phone?).

1) When you run haret/android does the phone actually reboot? or stay stuck in windows?

2) If it reboots and you see a screen with lots of white text on a black background, does it freeze saying "waiting for SD card?" or does the screen turn black?
[Touch HD Android Development] sraaj:
default.txt

used the zip file on diamond. everything went fine, but no default.txt and hence haret does not load/android does not boot.

copied diamond.txt and rename to default.txt ... .now booting succesfully with the X logo...

the calibration does not work... actually did not get any calibration, and the screen does not respond to stylus, infact its random...
[Touch HD Android Development] sraaj:
deleted...
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
you should have read the instructions...

you need to run the install mortscript to create startup.txt. This is because each phone type needs a different startup.txt file, so the installer MUST be run to configure the right settings for your device. This is clearly written in the instructions for the zip file. The CAB file will perform this task for you automatically.
[Touch HD Android Development] orange93:
It is the first touch pro through verizon. The raph800, correct? I ran the mortscript and that all went fine, picked the raphael800 for phone and then it gave me the android shortcut in programs.

so:

1) When running haret/android it stays stuck at windows like in that picture. It shows that haret is starting linux in the load box, but then the box goes away and stays at the window.

2) The first time I tried it said waiting for sd card for close to 10 minutes so I thought I had done something wrong and rebooted the phone. Hasn't reached the black screen with writing (linux screen?) since.

Thanks for helping, I'm getting a bit impatient lol
[Touch HD Android Development] Roydelmon:
any mirror downloads for the new version plz ?
[Touch HD Android Development] sraaj:
I did the mortscript.exe and then the install.mscr ... now copied my old startup.txt and trying to boot again.... still same....

hard reset and will try again....

BTW iam running the full package (without any updated zimage)

Thanks in advance
[Touch HD Android Development] mcdull:
From my experience, I always cant get GPRS work for the first boot.

After setting it up, you reboot the device, wait for a minute, 3G will work.
[Touch HD Android Development] jeanfrederic:
Hi TBM. Thx for the updated package. Its a nice job.

But may i say i have a permanent freez just after the boot with this build, have tried the Fri Jan 22 13:42:09 2010 +0100 kernel too but it does not boot at all with this one. Could it be the ROM (blackDragon1.9) i run that prevent Android to boot?
[Touch HD Android Development] SlyTuk:

same here... don´t have another sd card... arghhh...

transcend micro sdhc 4 8GB... no luck... it camed with the htc.
[Touch HD Android Development] ClydeB1:
I believe you need to try a different card. Some of the cards, specifically class6 can give this problem.
[Touch HD Android Development] jeanfrederic:
has ahyone the calibration upside down?
[Touch HD Android Development] samsanchez88:
I have found that if you erase the network you are connected to just before swithching off wifi you will prevent the freeze!
[Touch HD Android Development] twanj:
Thanx for the advice, but that does not seem to help. Funny thing us that i get a G symbol near the signal strength bar. So it seams that there is a GPRS signal, but my internet or google maps don't recognize it.

Anybody ever had the same problem or suggestions?

Thanks!!
[Touch HD Android Development] ClydeB1:
That was mentioned before. I think there is an updated startup file to fix this.
[Touch HD Android Development] jeanfrederic:
Yep, have tried all the startup txtm all the kernels, and i still cant run Android.

Had no problems at all with former realises like Tux and... but those builds arnt accepted by my phone.
[Touch HD Android Development] absolutnick:
The apn settings tab doesnt open on my phone for some reason, it just displays a black screen? Anyone having same problem? i tried 22/1 and previous version with no luck,

[Touch HD Android Development] absolutnick:
Also will a faster sd card make android run faster? cos its quite slow atm
[Touch HD Android Development] Takkie1970:
Maybe helpeful info for the FAQ

Q. How do I make my GPRS / 3G data connection work?

A. You need to run Android on your Blackstone, then go into settings, and locate the APN settings. You need to complete the APN settings for your Operator/Carrier/MVNO. You need to find these settings for yourself I'm afraid, it's out of scope for this thread.

I found this link somewhere on XDA:

Helped me with my settings.

[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
You said you couldn't run android at all, but now it's 3G that's not working... let's solve one problem at once. I am guessing you CAN run Android now?
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
1) Check the SD card and make sure there's a file called "startup.txt" there.

2) I can't think of another reason why Haret would crash at that point... it's far more likely to crash later on in the boot process.

3) Make sure your phone is NOT connected to your PC when you boot.

4) Try data.img (if it exists) from the root of your SD card. Android makes that file on the very first boot, but it can take some time... possibly it's corrupted of you rebooted in the middle of it being made.

5) Try V1.2 (it's in the opening post) which is much more stable, but a couple of weeks old. Just to make sure your device works at all.

Since I don't have the Raph800 it's hard for me to debug (this is one of the big problems for the developers, so many different devices / variations)
[Touch HD Android Development] orange93:
alright thanks i'll give that a try when i get home. cuz I do have the startup.txt and everything there. i don't have the dadt.img i don't think either.. didn't see it anyway. but ya i'll let you know how it works out thanks again
[Touch HD Android Development] sraaj:
Copied zip file, and then...

MortScript V4.2

.mscr and ,mortrun extensions registered. Please run any .mscr/.mortrun file or read the manual

run install.mscr, selected device Diamond..., 5 steps completed, hit OK.

on checking the files,

ts-calibration is 0B

startup.txt not created...

default.txt not created...

on clicking android icon from WinMo startup, haret window comes up, looking for a default.txt and clicking run gives...

Cannot open script file \Internal Storage\default.txt

so no haret boot...

copy and rename Diamond.txt to default.txt

copy and paste an old STARTUP.txt, booting now.... one line says Using saved Touchscreen Calibration (is it using the ts-calibration file, which is 0B), because no calibration options like the 1.2 release, directly going to X animation screen....
[Touch HD Android Development] CyberCrisis:
Hey I got it to work on touch pr 2 sprint but the screen calibation is off. Up and Down seem to have gotten switch for left and right. So that it also always starts up in landscaping mode to. Any ideal what happen. It did not let me calibrate at first startup like 1.6 did.
[Touch HD Android Development] sraaj:
same here on diamond... there is no calibration option during first boot... as I saw a file called ts-calibration = 0B....
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
delete the calibration file, this could be a bug, and I will fix asap.

as for no startup.txt.... this is VERY strange... the default installation does not have it, but running the mortscript 'install.mscr' file will create it. It's been working fine for hundreds of other users... all it actually does is copy the correct startup from the StartUp files folder. I am really struggling to believe that the install.mscr fails to create this file.... unless there's something really weird about the name of your SD Card ?

There is no default.txt. Not needed.

[Touch HD Android Development] orange93:
I tried the V1.2 also, no luck. Did the same thing. It just won't start the Linux. Seems weird because it started it a different time, but has not since. Is there really any answer to why Linux will not start up again? Would maybe a hard reset help? Idk just throwing any ideas out.

[Touch HD Android Development] sraaj:
solution to the calibration issue---

delete the ts-calibration file and start haret, you will get 5 points to do the calibration... that fixed for me...

3.8 * Optional: If you want to create your own "ts-calibration" file as soon as requested quickly press the 5 spots on your screen as precisely as you can

currently testing on my HD... no problem so far... kind of love it... lolz...
[Touch HD Android Development] sraaj:
great so far, only bit slower than the 1.2 release.. could be because of the glossy customizations loaded on top of the core.

WiFi on / off worked fine from Settings > Wireless and Network menu...

What are the beautiful widgets.... I put Beautiful WiFi, it was non-responsive and crashed the phone.
[Touch HD Android Development] Shiv3r:
To bad there still is no sound. Everything else seems to work kinda ok actually. It's a bit sluggish and ok there is still a lot work to be done, but its a big improvement of the 1.6 version.
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
try running the task manager and closing all the apps (for some reason a whole bunch of them get automatically launched)
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
No sound on what device? working fine on blackstone. Are you talking about Android audio, or the in-call audio?
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Touch screen calibration 'should' be fixed in the 1.8 release which went live about 15 mins ago.

That's a theoretical 'should'
