oooh unlucky... NORMALLY you could just overwrite... but the 1.8 release introduces a new folder structure...

However, you can try this...

Create a folder in the root of your SD Card called 'android'. Move EVERYTHING to do with Android into that folder, then install 1.8.

However, I'd actually go for a clean install personally (sorry about that!), you picked a very unlucky release!
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Confirmed issue on your device... nothing I can do. Keep looking out for updates. I am sure it will be fixed soon, since it's a major feature :-)

Sadly, the developers take two steps forward and one step back, so some devices get new bugs... I can test blackstone and diamond500, but none of the other devices, but your issue is known about and documented by others too.

My 3G isn't working with this build (managed to get it working with a previous build by manually adding the apn). Any idea about that ??

edit: OK, it took a while but it worked finally, just by waiting :D
[Touch HD Android Development] rjrgmc28:
Also on the subject of 3G not working, has anyone managed to get 3G or NextG data working on Telstra with the Android builds? Also has anyone encounted this problem when after entering an APN when the APN doesn't save or appear in the APN menu? Been trying to get data to work but the APN won't save.

Any news on getting Android working on the Transcend 8GB class 4 SD card that came with the Blackstone? Should we expect that it will never work?
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Works fine on mine 8-)

Have you tried any of the fixes in the opening post (I'm not using any of them though, it just work out of the box for me on a GSM Blackstone)

standard Android theme

IMHO, "Glossy" theme sucks..

Is it possible to install v1.8 with standard Android theme?

If not --> where can i find v1.7?

Sorry, for being rude and hurting Scanny's feelings ;))
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
At the moment, I'm having to use Scanny's build (plus my small mods) 'cos the standard build totally sucks.... (temporary issue)... as soon as it becomes stable again, I'll release both variants. I'm not a huge fan of the glossy theme either, it's ok, but not as crisp as the standard one, but the stability is better !!

Lots of users love the dark themes though.... probably a 50/50 split I think!
[Touch HD Android Development] accountabc:
yesterday I installed the cab with latest android build and 1.81 of this theme, and today I wanted to update to 1.9. I downloaded the 7z file from first posted and copied the files over. I didn't bother formatting my sd card, but it still worked. It did crash on me both with and without sense enabled, but that's not my main problem. I now want to go back to WM but it wont boot. I get till the smarty mobility screen, then the screen turns black but with backlight on and then it reboots. I hard resetted the device twice. Somehow android managed to screw up my rom... going to reflash my rom now. Didn't know android could cause your WM to not work anymore :/
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
hmmm first person to report this... very strange.

We should watch out for this.... assuming android IS the cause, however unlikely it seems.

When you say you need to reflash, are you doing so via hard reset or via PC/SD Card nbh file?.

Are you sure you unzipped to SD Card?
[Touch HD Android Development] angryshot:
telstra has been working fine on mine since day one, never been a problem
[Touch HD Android Development] DJGonzo:
This is awesome! The community has gone a long way!

Now my idea is that we should work towards a fast stable kernel, THEN add other stuff to it. IMO high priority things are the battery indicator, battery life, and the speaker issues blackstone users (I believe) are having.

But so far I am loving it!
[Touch HD Android Development] DJGonzo:

Any way possible to change the drawer to the one from android 2.1 (one in the nexus) or is it too laggy?
[Touch HD Android Development] fazm:
screen alignment problems

tried the latest version 1.8 and same problem.

when I touch the centre of the screen every ~3-5 touches it registers at the edge of the device.

1. Does nobody else have this problem?

2. Although the calibration screen is a little longer, at boot, it it still <1 second so I cannot have time to press top left top right centre bottom left bottom right so quick.

3. Could it be it is expecting a capacitive touch screen? Or could it be anything to do with the screen protector. (I am loath to pull it off in case that isn't the issue and leave my screen unprotected.)

anyone help with this at all? (Please)

Not being able to type Accurately is a major show stopper for me.

cheers

Going to install now on Diamond... using the cab

cleaned up previous image, since my WiFi was working well, and with some tweaking with new rootfs, kernel, i eventually screwed it up...

hopefully this one goes well....

14.00 - done

14.07 - Booting fine.... the X animation is reversed than previous one... diverging instead of converging....:)

hello.

my english is not very good.

the 2 fixes for the sd card problem does not work on my blackstone. i have a transcent card. anyone an idea?
[Touch HD Android Development] inf3rno1:
While I commend all of your work, I do wonder why you don't team up with Babijoee and Phhuson and Glemson in the other eclair for htc thread, I don't want to sound like a noob, but they seem to be making some huge process on drivers and kernels, while you or you guys have made some great progress on UI and skinning (Sense & theme). If you merged together it would benefit all of us HTC 72xxx phones! I'd also love to see wifi tethering available for the Fuze or Raphael. Or maybe its just wishful thinking... anyways great work!:)
[Touch HD Android Development] accountabc:
Yes, I extracted the .7z to my SD card and managed to boot android with the glossy theme (wasn't using the glossy theme before so I'm sure that it did work), but it got a random freeze (black screen, backlight on). I read something about that so I tried disabling Sense first. I then rebooted WM and ran haret to boot android. It did boot but I got a random freeze again. When i pulled out the battery to soft reset the phone, WM didn't boot anymore. In between I didn't run or install any other application, and this is the first time this ever happened. I tried to hard reset (holding volumebuttons and hit reset) twice, but it just didn't work anymore. I could still acces the bootloader. I then reflashed my rom through PC, and after that WM worked fine again. I'm running Topix 3.5.5 btw
[Touch HD Android Development] DJGonzo:
There's no Sense in this... Wrong thread?
[Touch HD Android Development] brodos123:
Hi BrilliantMistake.

great work!

Have you tried with and without partitions?

Any noticable speed difference?

Also I use setCPU like scanny describes , but I guess there is now use in using compache and swap since this version dont have a swap partition?
[Touch HD Android Development] sraaj:
Battery

has been charging for 2 hours now... and is 89%.

Does this mean the battery is stabilized (or overstabilized) 2 hours to charge a diamond on main power is on the higher side...:o

previous builds were showing 100% in something like 20-25 minutes.... but then those could never be trusted, since it was dropping that fast as well....
[Touch HD Android Development] Dinraxxx:
Okay.I want to use live wallpapers.Any idea on this one?For Touch Pro/Fuze.thanks :D
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
The drivers and kernels in these builds are less than 1 day old.. they come straight from glemsom (with a little sanity checking to make sure we don't release any of the notoriously bad kernels).

Every couple of days I pick up the latest releases and package them up.... making it much easier to install for 80% of users... the other 20% grab their own components and build their own, but most users on here are not linux gurus and prefer everything in one neat package (knowing it will be using the very latest components).
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Similar issues here, esp with Wifi on.... with Wifi on, basically it's draining as quicky as it's charging... not good, and the heat is a little too warm for my liking.

But, I've never been able to trust the levels reported by Android. It's just inaccurate and erratic. We just have to be patient until it's all figured out.

So far, my experience is: It's not bad until you use Wifi. Then your battery will last about 1 hour max!
[Touch HD Android Development] ugyldig:
Delete the calibration file from root, and you will be asked to calibrate on 1. boot
[Touch HD Android Development] sraaj:
@ WiFi

Noticed that if the WiFi Signal is Poor then WiFi connection is not made. The WiFi State goes to disconnected but the tick-mark icon stays checked (and ofc keeps draining the battery). What it does is keeps trying to connect.

If I understand, the device radio is not able to pick up the weak signals. The pc can however pick up the same network.

So I tried to sync over GPRS, added the APN. I could open pages through browser, but no email or contacts sync. market also did not connect saying No Network detected. This did not happen in older versions.... any suggestions... I have a fone without any contacts :eek:

OK, so about the GPRS, I found that even when I am in the home network - Vodafone, the phone is going to MobiFone. network search shows Mobifone, Orange and Cosmorom.... :eek:

How do I get my home network...

How to install Android on your Windows Mobile HTC Device on HTC Whitestone - Imagio??? Thanks!? It woking??? :rolleyes:
[Touch HD Android Development] fazm:
OK deleted calibration file and still I only get 50ms to touch all point in the screen to calibrate. in fact by the time I got my finger near the screen it says

"calibration successful, file saved"

what a nightmare :-(

I suppose if I bin this xdaandroid nightmare I get my 8 gb flash back.. and I guess I can get a desire when it is out next month (assuming screen accuracy is a good as the iphone/wm6.5)

cheers and good luck all. At least I got a taste
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
if you're using blackstone, I 'think' calibration is automatic.. which is why it's calibrating so quickly. Are you SURE you've got the correct startup.txt file?

when you installed, did you choose your device type in the cab installer, or did you run the install.mscr file (if you extracted from a zip) ?

Touchscreen works fine... it's not set up for multitouch... so don't worry about that. It's just an issue YOU have.... so we need to figure out what's going wrong (by that, I mean we know it works ok, so just need to figure why it's not ok for you).
[Touch HD Android Development] fazm:
1. Yes 100%, I am selecting Blackstone from the list during installation

2. I did not extract from Zip I used the cab file.

3. Ok, Glad that we established it is just me. I have no issues on WM6.5. Any chance it could be due to the screen protector?

4. 4 out of 5 times it works correctly then on the 5th it will miss. Example. Pressing T or any middle keys in the keyboard will register correctly on first 4 touches, then on 5th touch it will register as the Q. (Note: This is approx every 5th, its a little more random than that but hopefully you get the picture.)

So just to reiterate, I press the centre of the screen and once in every 5 times it will register as a touch at the far left of the screen, while the other times it registers a touch at the centre of the screen as expected. When the issue occurs it always registers a touch at the far left of the screen , never the right side or anywhere else. I would put it down to hardware except it doesn't happen in WM6.5

cheers
[Touch HD Android Development] spookyx:
hey guys...

great work with this Android... however, still a long road ahead.

My biggest issue with Android is that the external speaker is not working. No ring, no music or whatsoever.

Also, the mic is not working, as the other person on the line can not hear me, but I am able to hear the other party through the internal speaker.

Until at least, this mike is not fixed, I can not properly enjoy and test for longer period of times the Android, which, this latest version (1.9) compared to earlier builds seems faster.

Oh... and yeah... different processes do crash... (those related to sound). I get a window asking me either to force kill or wait more...

Another (might be stupid) question... how do I restart / shutdown the Android? The only way is to remove battery. Is this feature not built into Android or what?? :)

Thanks.
[Touch HD Android Development] ugyldig:
Every WinMo phone has a hardware reset button :) On the Diamond you have to take the backplate off, though..

well.. I was hopping to find out how to turn off / restart the android from within the software... so a soft way, not a hard way...
[Touch HD Android Development] sraaj:
If it is diamond...

the battery drains out sooner, so unless you are plugged in, it will shutdown, booting brings WinMo.

Press End key long, which brings the option for Airplane Mode, Power Down etc... Shut Down and restart, WinMo launches...

I tried the DualBoot, but not 100%, since it was cooked into the rom, some tweak settings, but with PD X Android Rom, it was a cool feature... a Dual Boot Option during startup...

Overclocking for Diamond

Any clocking recommendations for Diamond. I am not sure I want to clock it any number I want, so suggestions are welcome. :)
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
You don't have to remove the backplate on Diamond, but you do for Touch HD

There's not power off in XDAndroid yet.... believe me, as soon as there is, there will be a MASSIVE cheer and announcement!

[Touch HD Android Development] DJGonzo:
I'm glad everyone is having fun overclocking

Lets go past 720! :D

I couldn't get there on my Raphael...
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Overclocking comes at a price....

now, either HTC decided that overclocking drained too much power OR they felt it was unsafe for long term use.

I doubt they were too worried about the power consumption.

Overclocking is rarely a wise thing to do. If you can afford to reduce the lifespan of your phone (or even fry it), go ahead... but you don't get ANYTHING for free in the mobile device world. Just ramping up a clock to make everything faster is too good to be true.

Dont say I didn't warn you!
[Touch HD Android Development] rjrgmc28:
Finally got data working! Something must have not registered the APN's required for Telstra initially, but all good now. Anyway keep up the good work! Looking good so far!

and the diamond is running so slow.... there are too many Force Close, Wait windows coming up.... and today, I could not even see who called (black screen and frozen device), while the call went on and became missed call.... these had never happened before on any version / release....

for the first time in last one months time, I had to stay on WinMo for about 5 hours)... I had formatted the Internal Storage before installing the cab...

thinking of going back to 1.2 (sigh)

and the Dual Boot option works like a charm... though I always boot into Android
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
The battery problem is an issue on ALL devices... it's down to Android not yet managing power consumption as well as it should (because the developers don't know the hardware completely)
[Touch HD Android Development] rjrgmc28:
Got another problem this time. Trying to get the headset working on Topaz. Added the snd.force_headset=1 line to startup.txt via cmdline, but when it boots into Android it goes into a kernel panic. Anyone else experiencing this problem with the Topaz builds? Apologies if this question is already answered.
[Touch HD Android Development] atl4ntys:
just finished installing this on my blackstone and Im very happy with it, thanks a mil!

One 1st bug I found was that the Access Point Names under Mobile Network Settings is completely blank and apparently uneditable. I cant connect to internet using the mobile network? Is the build limited to wifi only? Thx!
[Touch HD Android Development] rjrgmc28:
Have you tried pressing the home button on your device? When you hit the home button (windows button by default), it should come up with a menu, click on "Add APN" and then add your APN details for your carrier. Hope this helps.

Edit: Add APN should be "New APN".

Power consumption

The fact that google insists on doing their own, completely separate, powermanagement, than the mainline linux-kernel might also have something to do with it?
