I can't even get to the screen that asks where to install the cab. I can open the cab, but then it immediately goes to the screen that says installation unsuccessful. Any ideas?
[Touch HD Android Development] Zailynne:
Ahh!!! How stupid of me!! :P

I'm really sorry. I forgot to turn the manila of before installing, now when I did that it worked to install... Sorry for the trouble... :P

Well, now I know what the problem was and that it really did matter much. :D

"Fix 3: Tell your wife / girlfriend that you are about to make some modifications to her phone... change the ringtone and steal her old Class 2 SD Card to use with Android. She will never discover what you have done, and if she does, you'll be able to use Android to send texts to your former girlfriends ;-) "

It's a good point.:p
[Touch HD Android Development] 00sing00:

If you select wallpapers, does it give you 3 options? Live wallpaper, picture, wallpaper gallery? And second, is the gallery app still there? (can you view images in your device)
[Touch HD Android Development] vasconcellos:
1) Check your settings and turn off HTC Sense (Manila)

2) Run the cab

Does this work for the Verizon HTC Touch Diamond?

In the installation I chose the regular 'Diamond' vs the 'Diamond 500'

It says it installed fine but after clicking the Android icon it says, "booting linux", vibrates twice like it says it will and then locks up. Can't even turn off the screen. ):

Any suggestions, or is there something else I should be doing?

I've attempted this on a 4gb SDHC card, along with a 2gb SD.

I'm on the stock VZW rom

I've disabled touchflo as well, still no luck ):

So, any suggestions?

Hi

Thanks everyone I was able to run android on my HD v1.2 and linux-htc-team

they both good but I think that the v1.2 it seems faster than the other.

:)

I was wondering if anyone could add fonts (language) ?

I couldn't remount the system folder to make it RW (read&write) !!!

any idea Plz
[Touch HD Android Development] sleepnow:
The reason for this, is likely because you didn't read the very first post in this forum, nor did you bother to search.
[Touch HD Android Development] andycted:
as much as I like what is being done I have the feeling the sleep problem seems strangely very low on their TODO list...

I had to give up for the same reason
[Touch HD Android Development] Jackasaur:
Should I choose Raphael or Raphael 800 for my HTC Touch Pro? It's the Verizon version. :P
[Touch HD Android Development] Steel Froggy:
Anybody know?
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Try Diamond 500 (Although I think it's actually a Diamond 400, but not familiar with the US variants)

Better still, use the 1.2 cab (in the first post) and NOT the 1.5 cab (because the newer cabs are very problematic due to introduction of HW3D).

Start with the 1.2 cab, get yourself up and running and confident you can get Android working.... THEN work at later cabs.

Anyway, let us know how you get on with Diamond 500
[Touch HD Android Development] tikejhya:
No Android Reason

same here only bcoz of deep sleep i cant think of using android too.

this should be first priority according to me...
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
It's definitely not low on the priority list... but you have to remember, they can only work on parts that they have info for... so if they don't have much info on the Power Management, but suddenly get a lot of info on the 3D, they work on the 3D...

But the wake up problem isn't being ignored.... you just have to have patience... they are working to provide android on MANY HTC devices... it's not easy when they don't even have those phones in front of them (sometimes), and theres no formal documentation on HTC's hardware configuration.

Hello,

check the bug list on their forum. The sleep problem is marked as 'low priority'
[Touch HD Android Development] slaming:
i hope this isn't true i mean who here can live without a working camera or headphone socket most of us im sure would preffer to have a device that woke up when we wanted it to and didn't need constant reseting due to this
[Touch HD Android Development] Born_Immaculate88:
You have to clear your SD card, Install the cab or file to the root, turn of HTC Sense or Touch Flo 3D (whichever you have), then soft reset and run the file or .cab again. However, I get stuck on the black screen after this and I'm not sure why this is.
[Touch HD Android Development] hugorx:
ringtones

Hi, how to get ringtones work please ? i see only silent in the ringtones settings. i see on SD card is media/audio/ringtones .ogg files, but in settings the list is empty?

Thx in advance
[Touch HD Android Development] slaming:
i believe this is something to do with the sd card not being scanned properly i downloaded an app from the market place that did ringtones and stuff that seemed to work but other builds seem to work diffrent
[Touch HD Android Development] XDA-Geek:
what is HW3D ...........

Is it SENSE 2.5 ?????
[Touch HD Android Development] slaming:
i believe HW3D just deal with the 3d rendering kinda like open gl but i'm not 100% sure but i think before people integrated HW3d into these build 3d games were very laggy well at least thats what i found.
[Touch HD Android Development] WMLover212:
Hello all-

Sorry if this has been posted already but I downloaded the .cab onto my SD card but as soon asI try and install it (i.e. tap on it to start loading the .cab) it immediately says "install unsuccessful". I have tried it on 2 sd cards (1gb and 4gb). Any ideas??

Sprint CDMA Touch Pro2

-Trying release 1.2
[Touch HD Android Development] slaming:
i would definatly recommend using 1.2 but try and make sure that you have redownloaded it because it could easily have been corrupt very easily
[Touch HD Android Development] WMLover212:
Alright, redownloading now (been like 45 mins! Haha)

I'll post what happens soon
[Touch HD Android Development] WMLover212:
Still no go. WTF??

P.S. Not just these ones. There are a few others that do the same thing. Is it just my phone??
[Touch HD Android Development] insanecon:
Have been using the 1.5 cab, system up time is 20 hrs now :)

No problems with deep sleep (yet)

(Had problems initially, now i only press the top power button, which is the home button for android to wake up)

We need a Donut based rom instead of eclair imo, it will be much smoother.
[Touch HD Android Development] slaming:
i would reomend formating your card mine didn't work until i used another card and formatted it to fat 32 give it a go
[Touch HD Android Development] fazm:
Donut vs Eclair?

what is the diff betweem Donut and Eclair?

I am running 1.2 on Blackstone (and loving it -- am now intending moving to HTC Bravo assuming slingplayer support)

Anyway i minimized my sleep issues by pressing the end key to lock it. it seems to wake then rather than when it sleeps itself.
[Touch HD Android Development] slaming:
the diffrence between donut and eclair is that they are just different builds like the diffrence between winmo 6.1 and 6.5 and i shall try your method of sleep and will report back hope it helps
[Touch HD Android Development] El Massman:
what are the chances of a blackstone optimised donut port? i recently got hold of a second hand g1 and have been using donut on that exclusively since i got it. are the improvements that have been made in the kernel recently eclair specific or would they work with donut too? if i remember it used to have working wifi and bluetooth and was rock solid stability wise. if donut doesn't suffer the deep sleep issue and still has the improved battery light and backlight off fixes we've gained recently i think it would make a fairly usable OS. they were the things lacking before.
[Touch HD Android Development] slaming:
wow i've never had a build on my touch hd which is stable i had one day where it was stable for about 5 hours then it crashed and since then i've never had a stable android running, i'm currently testing some zimages to see if that can sort it but im pretty sure all zimages work for every build except one that i read in the description was modified so changing zimages doesn't work
[Touch HD Android Development] WMLover212:
Alright. I will give it a try
[Touch HD Android Development] keridel:
can anyone tell me if i can get this on my stupid toshiba tg01. it's running winmo 6.5. juat hate this bloody thing as it is and cant wait for my nexus one. but till i get it i would like to see if i can make this P.O.S better. :)

cheers
[Touch HD Android Development] slaming:
ok well you should be able just to do what the rest of us are doing but you might need to change the startup txt abit
[Touch HD Android Development] WMLover212:
I have a mac pos at home and the only access to a windows computer is at work which is restricted on places I can go or things that I can download (sad, isn't it?). How can I format my memory card??

Edit: Just tried plugging my phone into my work comp and going to My Computer, right clicking on my storage card and clicking format but "I do not have sufficent privilages to perform this action"

BS as hell. any other options?
[Touch HD Android Development] keridel:
hey guys. trying to get it to work on my tshiba tgo1. installed the cab and try to load. picked blackstone for the startup.txt as its closest in spec to mine. it hangs up on the install screen after saying jumping to kernal. any ideas?
[Touch HD Android Development] slaming:
i think you can format on a mac using a program in utilites called bisk utilites hope this helps

screen claiberation problems

hi

i having some serious calibration issues on my screen 50% of the time it works ok but the other 50% if i press the middle of the screen it registers at the edge.

Examples:

1. Pressing T on keyboard for example will actually press the middle of the screen and close keyboard.

2. Using SWYPE I can see on the 50% of the time, when calibration doesn't seem to work, that when i press keys it registers keys at the other end of the screen (as shown by swype blue line)

This is very annoying.

anyone any idea?

Would be great to get camera working to test augmented reality apps. ;-)
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
HW3D is Hardware 3D. This means all the complicated 3D graphics are NOT done using the CPU, but a GPU (graphics processing unit). Most HTC phones have a GPU but it's not very well documented and so difficult to program. However, when it's used, it can speed up SOME of the graphics. It has absolutely nothing to do with Sense 2.5
[Touch HD Android Development] greatbal:
where do I get Sense UI as pictured on post#1? my device has the default Android homescreen.
[Touch HD Android Development] tonyfuf:
this version of android is sense??
[Touch HD Android Development] keridel:
no this is the eclair build of android. sense is the user interface that people want to overlay it
[Touch HD Android Development] keridel:
hey guys i've searched and searched but cant find a startup.txt that uses the snapdragon. any ideas?
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
You will never find it. It doesn't exist

Snapdragon is a totally different processor.Startup.txt only configures the linux kernel, it cannot fix the processor!

Sorry, you're out of luck until someone releases a kernel for snapdragon
[Touch HD Android Development] keridel:
:( yeah i thought as much and i have looked for the kernal for it but to no avail! damn orange! i broke my hd and they could only replace it with this TG01 (would should be renamed piece of ****) and now they wont let me switch back :(
[Touch HD Android Development] kahluaman:
hello!

1st of all thanks for all this tutorial and all the things brought by the "tryers" ;)

I'm using rel 1.3 and the only problem that i can't stand is the sleep issue.

So i would like to know if there's a way to simply disable the sleep or just "downgrade" to rel 1.2 if sleep issue doesn't exist there.

and how to "downgrade"?simply put the cab on µSD and run it or erase the rel 1.3 first.

thanks
[Touch HD Android Development] vitel:
on my htc touch hd, after run of haret (last v1.6rev), it is shows blank screen and then pda restarts :( trying rev1.2
[Touch HD Android Development] vitel:
and actually what version you can suggest as more stable?!

and where to download android 1.6 and 2.0 for htc touch hd

btw... the rev1.2 seems to be starting...
[Touch HD Android Development] jim4il:
Thanks, kinda got a feel of it. Hope it will get to the point were everything is working.

Tested on Blackstone the HTC Touch HD

Response time - good (not much faster then win 6.1 with manila)

Sensibility - good, (keyboard buttons to close to each other, lots of mistyping)

WiFi - does not turn at all

Went in to deep sleep while trying to turn on wifi, could not turn on, had to reboot.

On picture gallery - stocked while moving from picture to picture.

Overall nice OS but not ready for doing business yet. I am really hope for android to become competitive OS because ...... I just like Google style.

Thanks again for working on it.
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Rev 1.2 is the most stable in my opinion, all the other releases are less stable (for Touch HD). They still work, and have new abilities, but are just prone to more crashes too.

Even 1.2 isnt perfect.
[Touch HD Android Development] vitel:
TheBrilliantMistake, many thanks! have installed and run 1.2 works great!!! :-)
[Touch HD Android Development] Kalas_22:
Is it possible with me using one Toshiba TG01 and the same startup file for android as the Nexus One (based on that is the same Q8250 processor).?

Or it isnt that simple?
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Not that simple, it's a completely different phone with different hardware... what Toshiba do vs what HTC do can be very different.
[Touch HD Android Development] Kalas_22:
But still, if this android build witch is done only for HTC gear and, even on those has all the issues mentioned on the first post there is a smalll chance that a phone with the same core may run it i guess..

but first.. where can i get such startup file configured for Nexus one? (or clues on how to change one?)
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
The nexus one IS an android phone, it doesn't need a startup file to configure the kernel, it will have a dedicated kernel for that phone (probably a standard kernel with small adjustments).

There's too much difference in hardware to 'just maybe work' in this. Just to turn on the LCD you'd have to know the LCD type / manufacturer.... the memory mapping, the MMU, tonnes of stuff.

It's hard enough getting it to work on HTC devices themselves, let alone Toshiba (sorry)
[Touch HD Android Development] keridel:
i know its hard work. i'll be patient in fact i shall get rid of this crappy thing and get back to the htc's lol

[Touch HD Android Development] Lekselius:
Any luck solving this? I have the exact same problem with both 1.5 and 1.6 releases, no matter what I do I get "Install unsuccessful". Any chance to release a zip file with the files along with the .cab?
[Touch HD Android Development] slaming:
i had that error a few times the way i sorted it was to download the cab on the computer then transfer it to the sd card and then install
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
The most likely cause is not enough available space on the DEVICE (not the card)... WinMo is stupid and needs to decompress, using the device as temporary storage space. That's all I can imagine it might be...

I'll think about the zip... only last time I did a zip, I got users unzipping to the wrong places (yeah really!), screwing up their startup.txt files and then asking why the shortcut icon didn't appear etc etc
[Touch HD Android Development] vitel:
Still using blackstone and rev1.2, just one problem.. is here any fix about deep sleeping? it sleeps and don't want wake up :(
[Touch HD Android Development] slaming:
i have the same problem every time can't deep sleep just be removed in these builds till its perfected so it wake all the time?
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Nope. these builds are made for multiple HTC devices, and the developers cannot start doing specific releases for Blackstone, or Diamond etc... it would just take way too long... Also, the power management isn't ALL done in Android, some of it is happening in the chipsets on the device, and so can't be 'stopped' that easily... at least not until the developers fully understand the entire power management capabilities.
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
For those wanting the zip file...

See opening post, there's now a zip there too.... but PLEASE follow the instructions, or it won't work. Just extracting the zip will NOT work, you need to run the install script too
[Touch HD Android Development] slaming:
yeah i understand now just seems a bit annoying for me because my power button is broken it means i can't really run a stable version of android on it until it gets released as a nand flash, even then i may not be able to :(
[Touch HD Android Development] sundelius:
Thanks, this is the most stable version I've tried. Works very well.

Some issues, but I guess they are all known. The battery, GPS and stuff like that.

Had an issue with deep sleep on earlier version, but works nice on this one. Thank you very much :-)
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Deep sleep is still tricky... I suspect you'll discover it doesn't always work, even on recent builds, but whilst it's working ok, enjoy it ;-)
[Touch HD Android Development] NeO_CooL:
i have no luck using this new builds. :(

it freezes loading android. :(

already disabled sense but no luck yet. :(
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
What device? are you using, and how are you installing it?

and freezes in what way?

Try to describe the problem
[Touch HD Android Development] NeO_CooL:
blackstone.

used other builds even glossy 1.5.1 and no luck.

now used the zip 1.6 build in this thread,

- Clicked mortscript.exe to register mortscript.

- Clicked install.mscr to run the installer

and run haret.

image e booting fine in "verbose mode" as other builds before, but when it´s time to see the moving x made by various colours nothing is on screen.

pressed power button. nothing works have to remove batery and turn device on again.

this is from 2 builds back as others worked even market and wi-fi.
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
It's documented in the opening thread...

The new builds are working with Hardware 3D and have introduced some issues... this results in no startup logo (on blackstone).

You MUST follow the instructions for blackstone:

1) disable touchflo/sense

2) reboot <-- you MUST do this step

3) start haret

4) wait 2-3 mins at the blank screen

5) Android will appear :-)

Hi guys.

Did anybody already get hw3d working on Blackstone Android? I want to port a Game I made to android, and have not money to spend on a native android device right now...
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
you don't need HW3D for it to work... (I don't think)

But no it's working on diamond/raphael, but not blackstone (yet)

Any other mirrors at other sites?

Jackiehames, I can put it to rapidshare if interested...

I tried the latest build yesterday, did everything as stated in instructions, but my blackstone got stuck at black screen for more than 15 minutes. So I did a reset, tried it again and voila, works like charm! Just the battery drain and the lack of bluetooth support is limiting me from using Android as a primary system...

[Touch HD Android Development] Vin87:
For some reason all Eclair versions newer than V1.2 won't install on my HD, I tried:

-Formatting SD card

-Installing a different rom

-Hard reset and soft reset

-Disabling Manilla / Titanium

However the problem still remains: When I open the .cab I get the message that the installation was unsuccessful. TheBrilliantMistake, could you please post the next build you'll release as a .zip file, then I'll drop the Android file on my SD card myself.

Thanks!
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:

[Touch HD Android Development] kingofslide54:
Thanks, TBM. I forgot to say that my APP is a 3d Game :p

In last releases, OpenGl works via software, but I would need it to work via HW to properly test my game.

BTW, it will probably work before I begin the port

Thanks again!
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
hmmm but Labyrinth 3D is working... it just runs BETTER with HW3D enabled, but runs without it, so I assume you can still develop and use the same API.

I'd have thought the SDK would work on PC anyway, but I don't know...
[Touch HD Android Development] Lekselius:
Ok, that sounds reasonable, I have quite a lot installed on the device. I'll see if I can uninstall some stuff and try again.

I totally understand you concern with the .zip and user errors, maybe you could make a very anonymous download link ;)

Hi

I am using the "glossy" build 1.6.

I have not had any freezes yet. used it since this morning!

I use partitions!

It is also very fast!!

Tried this build too, but froze many times.

Perhaps the partitions makes it better?

[Touch HD Android Development] sraaj:
so i used the cab to deploy on Diamond (Diam140), on a completely formatted (moviNAND) device. Flash went fine, but after starting up, dint see the X logo.

Also, too many Force Close windows, and Android was running really slow.

So, as the post said, switched to rel 1.2 and it is stable.

I noticed one thing (besides the other knowns), when calling a contact, the contact pic does not appear. There is a green phone icon. When I cancel the call, the contact image comes in place of the phone icon... dint see it reported (or may have missed)....
