Can someone help me to make Android work on Acer Neotouch?
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Sorry no, it's a totally different processor... with different hardware.

Try the HD2 forums (at a push)... but you may get a similar response. It's probably too niche a phone for many developers to work on (but I could be wrong)....

Best of luck!

latest version is AWESOME - only few things left to be usable

- definitely power consumption (especially on wifi) - but i know you´re working on it :)

- camera - well, not a must, but there are some really cool camera apps for android i´d like to try - augmented reality apps, logo´s recognition... (but this is gonna be hard to port i guess...)

- 3D and video playback (f.e. youtube videos are blinking - not very good for epileptics... :o)

but with new launcher it´s imho faster than WM on my blackstone, better for internet browsing (using overclocked startup) - it feels the freshness of young android compared to WM :D

great work!!

NOTE: I also got "waiting for SD card" with card i used many times ago - adding lines from the first post helped

Radio reception

First off, GREAT work on XDAndroid, kudos to the developers, now so very close to becoming a wonderful OS.

I have a quick enquiry about radio performance, has anyone found a way/version to improve reception? I'm in the UK on TMobile and don't ever get full reception displayed with XDAndroid, even in reception areas that are maxxed out in WinMo.

I've also noticed the packet data speed is slower, although maybe this is down to the protocol?

THUMBS UP to the ongoing effort with the OS.

Hi

Is there anyway to force a screen calibration on the Blackstone version of Android? I understand other phones do a screen calibration when you first install and run Android but the Balckstone configured version doesn't. The screen configuration always seems off when I use my fingers to use the phone. When I use the stylus it seems fine. This seems to be a recurring problem with all the builds I've tried. Any help would be be appreciated. And please keep up the brilliant work. I find this whole project to be completely amazing. Great work.

[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
I'm revisiting the option of a Sense release, but I'm working with Klinux's latest Sense version....

However, I have the following concerns:

- It's simply not fast. It does speed up after a while, but eats up LOTS of memory and just feels unresponsive

- When actually used, and without all the hype... Sense isn't offering anything worthy of not. I can get the flip clock and the wall papers elsewhere and I can get much faster home screens that work in landscape too..

- Some of the widgets take up a full screen and still don't give me anything new

- The sense bar at the bottom of the screen isn't well suited to the Touch HD, and it's easy to click the wrong areas

All in all, I KNOW folks seem to scream out for Sense, but I'm just lost as to why? It's nice, but it's not actually any nicer than the stock... it's just different.

So, I'm in two minds... unsure if I should release a Sense version (cos I will only get even more questions and moans about speed and battery etc).

Decisions, decisions
[Touch HD Android Development] DanBergundy:
I've always been for Sense. I want to get the Evo eventually so it's nice to play around with and see what I will be working with. I like having the options there and I am sure a lot of people do.

Klinux's release had resolution issues with VGA devices. We could resize some PNG's but it didn't matter without changing XML dimensions. Are you able to make it work for VGA? If not, I'd say screw it.

Just my 2 cents.
[Touch HD Android Development] R^7Z:
I totally agree! I have yet to see or notice any real difference in our devices (RAPH) aside from the performance degrade in the sense version. Perhaps that is why it's posted in the Blackstone forums:confused: That being said, I don't quite understand the similarities and differences between hardware and software (OR if that even matters)
[Touch HD Android Development] cis.snakeman:
I don't have a big experience using Sense layer.

But in my opinion, the Launcher Pro is enough for XDandroid :D

I don't think that you have to loose time with this "add-on".

@TBM:

In addition, I would like to help more, for exemple by performing some strong test sequences (usually named "smoke" test in the world of phone dev)

In order to check et test all main features of the builds.

Are you interested in this kind of report ?
[Touch HD Android Development] mmp7:
I am not a big fan of the HTC sense as well. A clean working XDandroid is good enough for me.
[Touch HD Android Development] jeanfrederic:
+1. No need to loose time with some new unresponsive UI, and it is smarter to concentrate on the MAIN thing !

The imprecise screen calibration of XAndroid will cause more problems than have positives returns.
[Touch HD Android Development] cis.snakeman:
I agree you, in addition with a shell on the phone is quite difficult with my big little fat fingers :p

I tried other msmts_calib value on STARTUP.txt but without succes.

Probably a Blackstone user who configured it well can share his values ?

Additionnal question

: Is there any way to "root" our XDandroided device (for Blackstone for example :rolleyes:)
[Touch HD Android Development] bertrandno7:
this is by far the greatest and fastest android build out there for my blackstone

anyway, just wondering, will installing the rom by NRGZ speed things up for my android build? currently i am using another rom with htc sense 2.5 and i wonder if installing the android rom by NRGZ will speed my android up...
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
No, it has no effect whatsoever.

BTW, if you want a FAST WinMo ROM, choose Blackstone Henge 1.6
[Touch HD Android Development] bertrandno7:
i am considering the prospect of using the android build as my daily OS. Today is my first day using it and i will post about the battery life at the end of the day. So far the build is fast and responsive but the battery life is really bad. Just woke up with a fully charged battery and less than 1 hour i am less with 85%. perhap its the wrong indicator bug. Will monitor the situation.

Can't add ringtones

Hi folks, just installed the 2.4 release and liking it so far. However I'm running to some problems adding my own ringtones. According to directions I found online, I'm supposed to add my own ringones to:

sd_card/media/audio/ringtones

I see there are a lot of preloaded ringtones in there already. So I dropped a few ringtones I already had. Rebooted into Android, but I don't see them in the ringtone selection list in Settings, only the original preloaded ones. I thought maybe the file name is too long, so I shortened it to just one word. No go. I then converted the ringtone to OGG (they are MP3) because all of the preloaded ringtones are OGG files. Still no go.

Any suggestions?

impressions on version 2.4 so far:

Seems to be lagger than 2.3

2.3 runs more smoothly

2.4 processes have to force close randomly for some reason (like when changing wallpaper (normal wallpaper not live wallpaper))

2.4 Animations seems slower

2.4 Device seems to not heat up as much as in 2.3

2.4 Scrolling is not as smooth as in 2.3

[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
I'd recommend setting up the task killer to 'aggressive' and having it kill tasks every 30 mins or so.... that seems to help.

I've also been tweaking a couple of values, but nothing much... trouble is, so much new software too, so very difficult to pinpoint performance issues...

I'd say for the first 5-10 mins there's a little lag, but once you kill the apps, and starts to stabilise and is quite quick. But for me, the big PLUS is the improved GPS... I can now use Navigon for navigation very successfully.

I miss Igo8 for WinMo.... it's one of the few reasons I still use WinMo, sadly I don't see it coming for Android too soon (there's a lesser version for Android, but not the full Igo8)

There's a lot of placebo too with Android... one moment i think its much faster, then I think it's lagging... I've been using it all day and had one FC (using a new version of home). I've sync'd, mailed, surfed, wardriven and navigated with zero problems.... (once I'd set task manager to kill all apps every 30 mins)

Upgrade from 2.3 to 2.4?

I may have missed it, but just wanted to know if there was a way to upgrade from 2.3 to 2.4 without wiping the card clean first? Been using 2.3 since it came out and have it setup with apps and appearance the way I want it so would hate to have to reinstall all the apps, etc...
[Touch HD Android Development] bertrandno7:
yea i reinstalled 2.4 and things are starting to stabilize. so far so good. i will recommend that anyone setting up the device should only set up the google account after entering the main launcher pro screen. the only thing left now to fix now is the battery indicator (not forgetting camera but hack with that for now), otherwise it is a fabulous build

[Touch HD Android Development] xzjn9p:
TBM thanks for putting together this easy DIY package for XDAndroid. I have been contemplating installing your cab for a couple weeks, but I have been waiting for updates to slow a bit and reach (relative) stability. Based on all of the "new software" do you see the pace of updates slowing?
[Touch HD Android Development] DanBergundy:
Not really sure, I've had similar problems trying to put wallpapers in the media folder so I downloaded an app to do it and it worked perfectly. I bet if you find a good ringtone app that lets you browse files to select one, it will work.
[Touch HD Android Development] bertrandno7:
in terms of stability 2.4 definitely meets up to expectation. battery life is still an issue though. just try it! u will be amazed!
[Touch HD Android Development] Maschietto:
Does anybody has an answer to this topic? Its exhausting to build up everthing again and again :p
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
It 'depends'... you SHOULD be ok to install over the top (but this is not ALWAYS the case).

If you experience any significant troubles, then a clean install is the way to go.

I can usually set my phone up in 25 mins.... with all the apps I user, setup as I like.

It IS a pain, but you get to be quick at it!

There are some backup apps out there, but with mixed reports. But for PIM data, just make sure you're using Google contacts/calendar/mail then it's really simple to restore your PIM data.

Sometimes (and it's not always documented), some small change in the components needs a new data.img file, and by using an older one, 'strange' things can happen (so it looks like it's working OK, but there weird crashes etc).
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
It's summer, so some of the developers are doing exams in Uni, or college etc, plus some may be on holiday etc... and, sometimes, it gets harder and harder to fix the difficult things... There are usually pretty regular updates (every couple of days, but I don't make a release this often, since some of the updates can be minor, or even introduce new bugs.

I try to 'filter' out the insignificant updates and wait for something worth having (like GPS, or the new GPS speed reporting), or a significant bug fix, and this works out at something like a new release every 1-3 weeks. BUT, if there are two HOT updates in a week, I will make two releases for them.

This appear to have slowed down a little bit in recent weeks, but I think that's just summertime, and fewer people working on it, plus... as time goes by, sometimes folks get a new phone and their motivation to make something work on HD, or other phones can diminish.

I can't actually speak for the developers themselves, this is just my take on things...

After pressing JA the Setup is working and im back in the Explorer. I have no Picture in Programms oder the Start Menu.

But i can start haret and it works fine for me.

The only problem i can´t use the internet connection, don´t know why.

I have T-Mobile with Flat, he starts the connection but nothing is loading in the browser.

I´m happy for some hints to fix my problem.

Is it possible to install Sense?
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Yes it's possible.

Don't do it. it runs like a dog... and I mean a DOG. It's very slow.

I'll give you 1 hour with it before you want to ditch it.

Plus, it doesn't really give you anything extra. You can get the Sense look with lots of 3rd party widgets.

If / when Sense is usuable, I'll create release for it, but at the moment, it's just too bad

Cab install wrecked my memory card

Hi,

I tried to installe the latest cab on my memory card, but it failed under installation (HTC Blackstone). After that, my memory card immediately unmounts whereever I put it. I've tried to mount it on Windows, Mac, Linux and of course the phone, and it mounts for a second, and then unmounts like I have pulled it out. For instance in Windows, it automatically mounts through an USB adapter, it opens up so I can see all files, but then it closes the window and the device is unmounted and as such, it can't be found. Just like I would have pulled it out of the USB slot.

Anyone who knows a trick how to fix it? Help much appreciated as you can understand :-)

Cheers,
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Me too, you should give it another go... I couldn't cope with it. Having been using the non Sense version, it just lags like hell.

If I can get a smoother version I'll package it up... but at the moment. It might run better with a ext2 partition, but then it makes this release too complicated!!

Maybe it's just bad on the HD? or the build you had was specifically optimized with older kernel and settings?

Tested 2.4 today.

It was very nice to see updated Google Maps with Navigation. Seemed to work fine.

After startup I had a little problem with setting up signing in to my Google account due to 3g network problems with t-mobile. When you don't setup the Google account, the rest of the phone is not accessible.

Unfortunately the battery drain is still huge... Hope that there will be a solution for that in future.
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Even without Google you can still use the phone.. you just need to get to the home screen (press the power button).

That said, the whole 'Android' thing is aimed at connectivity, esp with Google's services, so the best experience is gained with a Google account.

I have been using 2.3 for the past few days and its excellent. Dont think I will be going back to Winmo.

Thanks for putting this together.

Battery life and heat were an issue, but I have put in an extended battery, so I hope battery life would be better from now. The heat is also much lesser, maybe due to the bigger battery cover.
