Has anybody succeeded running it on 8gb microsd card
[Touch HD Android Development] ngok31:
Yes I have made my tests on a 8gb micro sd card..

did you follow I have posted few page before?

the most important thing is to format your sd card with FAT32 on your computer with the normal format NOT THE QUICK FORMAT..

If it fail try with another brand of micro sd card it appear to have some issues with some kind of sd card..
[Touch HD Android Development] bethybabes69:
Working OK for me, even with lots of media folders in the root too.
[Touch HD Android Development] bethybabes69:
Maybe you need to add some APN info?
[Touch HD Android Development] la3bna:
I have tried but no luck ;)

When I try to enter the APN settings i get black screen with APN in top
[Touch HD Android Development] bethybabes69:
Ahh, I see, at that point of the black screen, you then must press the 'Home' button (shaped like a house), and then 'Add new APN'.

:)
[Touch HD Android Development] lokie538:
I was trying this today, pressing home > add new apn and then I enter the details and when i click back or home > save it does not save it into the apn list, any ideas what could be causing this ?

headset not working...

"snd.force_headset=2" this isnt working for me..

what's the correct way to configure this...??

Thanks in advance....
[Touch HD Android Development] tasty_boy:
Works fine to meeeeeee!!!

Android is amazing!!

but i have 3 questions;

1) If USB Mass Storage didn't works, how to put musics in the device?

2) How to load the Contacts in my SIM card?, it works?

SOLVED: contacts from the SIM loaded and working fine using "House" icon in Contacts and Import / Export option

3) 3,5 jack isn't working to me...ok, i should add this: For 3.5mm headset, add the following line to startup.txt...

snd.force_headset=2, but how to edit Startup.txt after Android is installed and working nice...?
[Touch HD Android Development] elmz:
Just want to add regarding YOUTUBE not playing correctly... I'm experiencing clipping-like video, its not playing smoothly... thanks...
[Touch HD Android Development] tasty_boy:
LOOOOOOL, today i couldn't slide to Answer some call...

it was my gf, she's gonna kill me...LOOOOOOL

some solution??
[Touch HD Android Development] 7Bit:
Same here, my Blackstone has no incoming ringtones and I cant slide to answer...
[Touch HD Android Development] tasty_boy:
mine rings, and i can see the screen with the slides to answer and to refuse the call...but when i slide to answer it didn't work!!, so sad...

must be a solution!!!!!

SOLVED: don't slide anything!!, just press the "ANSWER" icon, and then you can answer the calls
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Known issue... it does work SOMETIMES.... but the solution is to use the answer BUTTON (the physical 'call' button, not the slider)
[Touch HD Android Development] Turbii:
This is the first time textmessaging works with Android for me. :D I really loved playing with it untill i found that Android Market and the headphones aren't working...

Good luck with the project, i really appreciate your work :D

I think you need to "read read read" ive already copied some apps to that folder and the other but they dont show up on phone itself.
[Touch HD Android Development] mcdull:
did you copy it before or after the creation of data.img?
[Touch HD Android Development] mcdull:
BTW, it is hard to imagine your "the folder" .. if you would like to seek help, make yourself clear.
[Touch HD Android Development] TheATHEiST:
Yeah i think so. Even if i hadn't teh games that are in the games folder should still show in android anyway but they dont.

How do you install apps etc once you have installed/booted android?
[Touch HD Android Development] mcdull:
just put the apk file in sdcard and start it with file manager.

However, if you have no file manager installed. you may need to use ADB and droid explorer. If you have droid explorer installed. just double click in windows.
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Because.... things change (almost daily).... so I reflect the LATEST setup. You can pull out some older ones, and of course there will be differences. AND to make it even more strange, you're quoting from some poster who has already made a num ber of mistakes in the setup.txt file...

Feel free to use alternative settings at will.

(basically, people aren't keeping up with the threads and they still have old values in their files... often no longer required, or just incorrect).

LCD density will work with 210 OR 240, but 210 will cause some apps to render incorrectly. Use 240.
[Touch HD Android Development] Palerider-de:
Still got the "waiting for sd" error. Use a Transcend 8gb class 4 card and got this error with different android versions. even the mod for this error in the main post does not help.

Are there any other modifications to get android running? Or can anyone tell me which cards do work?
[Touch HD Android Development] Spiff76:
I had the same problem and tested a few cards with no luck. Finally tried an old 512 mb card and voila... cards under 2 Gb should be fine to use.

[Touch HD Android Development] bethybabes69:
Not sure. In recent releases, my provider (TMobile) is set automatically, but in other and previous Android releases, I had to manually set the APN.

Can you make other changes that are 'saved' when you reboot?
[Touch HD Android Development] jerrygj:
Thank you,,How to do it？
[Touch HD Android Development] boringz:
Hi guys,

I tried to do a factory reset (because I wanted to change the default email linked to the android), but the phone just hangs. After doing a reset, the settings are still there. How could I change the default account?

Thanks in advance!

-rick
[Touch HD Android Development] lokie538:
Everything else is stored, such as email accounts, I haven't had anything else that wasn't stored. The problem is it won't even put the apn in the list when I first set it, which is very strange (and slightly annoying).

I think (im new to this) if you delete data.img (Might have a different suffix), you will delete all settings stored by your phone, EVERYTHING. So that is a way to delete everything and restore to how it first was.
[Touch HD Android Development] boringz:
I can't find data.img.. maybe another file name?
[Touch HD Android Development] boringz:
found data.img.. (sorry :p) renamed it and test running android now.... loading took a while.

UPDATE: looks like it's working.. :) thanks!
[Touch HD Android Development] mcdull:
afaik, Voice search always work with blackstone .. as I remembered, in March 2010 at least.

Dunno why there is a new build for it.

Voice input, however, required the new input apk. And it works long time ago as well. It just that required to make a call before that.
[Touch HD Android Development] lokie538:
Latest Update: 27 Jun 2010 (V2.5a). This version defiantly works on blackstone for voice search, just tried it less then an hour ago :cool:
[Touch HD Android Development] adewang:
Here is the content of startup.txt for guys use 3.5mm headset:

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmts_calib=0x395.0x3c9.0x79.0x77 clock-7x00.a11=528 msmvkeyb_toggle=off pmem.extra=1 gsensor_axis=-2,-1,3 snd.force_headset=2"

But when i actived 3.5mm headset,the speaker stopped working.So the choice is always yours.
[Touch HD Android Development] veehexx:
since you say you want to know:

release: XDAndroid 2.1 (rel 2.5a).cab

sd card: kingston SDC4/8GB

issue: "waiting for SD card". i didnt try fix 1 with the SDformatter tool, but did format it in win7-64 with fat32. Fix2 did work however.
[Touch HD Android Development] iori:
hello guys

works like charm

but the only problem is i cant connect to the internet even though i have set up the APN manually according to my provider's setting

the data service icon in taskbar is there, but no upstream/downstream activities

any solution for this?

thanks

[Touch HD Android Development] dzeen:
yet another report from me, now regarding battery life:

i loaded android when WinMo showed 85% battery, and currently my HD is at the point of 8h 20m uptime and it is still alive! aint it awesome? :) to give more details: there's been quite a lot of calls today, a few SMS, about 20m of surfing via wi-fi, and an hour of EDGE connection with ebay, foursquare, gmail and opera-mini active. uhm, and 10-20 minutes of reading in iReader, and another 10 minutes of reversi game :)

TheBrilliantMistake, that's a great job, man!

UPD 9+ hours!
[Touch HD Android Development] veehexx:
i've been playing with this most of the afternoon; getting used to android since it's my first real play with it.

excellent work to the dev (whoever you are!).

3 things i've noticed though...

1) touch screen seems a bit erratic. using the touchscreen position tool, the cursor seems to start along the lower left edge of the screen (left edge, not bottom edge), so the phone picks up a sideways swipe rather than a vertical swipe.

2) not sure if it's related, but when you have incoming call, unable to pickup/ignore the call. android attempts to move the slider but it's asif you take your finger off the screen once it starts moving.

3) sometimes takes a long time to come out of sleep (5-10secs for the screen to turn on). i know theres issues with it never coming out of sleep, so it might well be related.

do we have a bug tracker? i'd be happy to submit bug reports if we do!
[Touch HD Android Development] tasty_boy:
WOWWWW dude!!!!

post your package and ur kernel, rootfs and initrd pleaseeeee!!!!
[Touch HD Android Development] dzeen:
actually, i used the cab from the 1st post, (direct link - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SKZO6V5X), and during install chose "blackstone overclocked") and that's it, so there's no rocket science here :)
[Touch HD Android Development] mermigas:
I've tried to install on my old HTC Diamond 100.

Installed OK , starts OK , I am getting the first blue screen and then I am getting a black screen. I slightly push the On/Off switch and I am getting again the start screen only for 3 seconds.

Any ideas ?
[Touch HD Android Development] Rothul:
Thx for this Android version, testing it right now.

I got the 'waiting for SDCard' message first but after applying the 'fix 2' it was ok.

Note that it was not my first Android test and i never got this problem with the others.

edit : installed on a Blackstone
[Touch HD Android Development] Ninua:
Just tried Android for the first time; although it still crashes too often on my Blackstone for everyday use, I must say I'm really impressed with the results so far! Keep up the good work!
[Touch HD Android Development] nathanielleee:
no bars

Im running this on a touch pro 2 by T-mobile and i cant get any service.

Ive tried installing it as tilt 2 as well as Rhodium but still cant get any service.

Anyone else having this same issue?
[Touch HD Android Development] veehexx:
good advice! i've reconfigured 'droid to use the overclocked settings, and it seems better. not yet checked battery stamina, but when in 'sleep', the phone isnt generating asmuch heat.

almost asif stock blackstone setup keeps the cpu at full speed.

the overclocked version as varying cpu speed (i presume over and underclocked as demand changes), which would explain why the phone isnt warming up when in sleep.
[Touch HD Android Development] dzeen:
fresh update on battery life of this Android build on blackstone: i got a new record - 16 hours, and Android still shows 5%!
[Touch HD Android Development] hatkeeper:
just try out 2.2 froyo, july 6th update, slightly faster than the latest 2.1

wifi - not working

sms - good

calling - ok

3D - working (please confirm)

haven't tested other features.

I think OP should take a look at this build.
[Touch HD Android Development] HC4Life:
Hi,

Can someone upload the startup.txt file already with fix here for Blackstone?

[Touch HD Android Development] sandervanzijl:
Is there also a sense dialer available?

or to explain a bit more:

I like the option to type a name and to get a phone number from your contacts. the dialer in sense (and winmo) does this, but the android standard dialer does not.
[Touch HD Android Development] dzeen:
Nexus One dialer does this. you can download it from Market
[Touch HD Android Development] sandervanzijl:
according to the website it is called dialer one (or do you mean a different dialer?)

it does not support dutch contact names.

[Touch HD Android Development] t3rm3y:
hi, i have just installed this and am going to try - i didnt want to risk losing my files so installed to a clean 2 gig sd card and loaded fine., only prob is now i have one sd card with my wm os and my pictures of my son, and a 2nd sd card with android, as you can appreciate these are titchy little things, how are others coping? my blackstone came with a 8gig card but when i try installign to that jsut get the "waiting for sd card" message scrolling up.

how can i keep the 2nd card on me and safe so can swap between the 2 op systems?
[Touch HD Android Development] lilhugo:
I'm trying to use the Marketplace on the latest build but it just says "start downloading" and it stays like that. I waited while leaving it on that screen for about 20 minutes to 30 minutes, but it never downloaded. Anyone have a similar problem?

I'm sorry if this has already been answered before, I tried searching within the thread under keywords such as "market," "market place," and "download" but I was never able to find the answer.

Btw, my wi-fi does work. I turned it on and did a google search on the phone and everything loaded up perfectly fine. So I don't believe its my wi-fi. =/

I forgot to mention, I am currently using the Blackstone.

When can we expect a Froyo release in the HD?

Hello good guys, can someone point out an aproximate estimation for a Froyo release of the XDA Android?

Thanks for the good work.
[Touch HD Android Development] raido:
Thanks for this cab - very easy to setup and it works from the first start.

Xandroid on Diamond:

Speed: its fast and responsive even with the animations.

Wifi: works like a charm - Diamond gets hot from the sides. And battery is dropping really quickly.

phone: all calls are clear, contacts are nicely synced from gmail. very good.

web and browsing: its usable but a little bit laggy. As the HTC Magic use the same qualcomm MSM7201A chip with 192RAM i think the browsing can be as as good as it is on the Magic.

Screen wakeup: there where some incoming calls and the screen just don't want to wake up.

Battery life: this is the reason i switch back to WM. I got 24h battery life with few calls. Left it on for the night and in the morning battery shows 5 units remaining. I made a 4minut long call and after that it still shows 5 units. After that it power off.

Right now i will return to the world of windows mobile but i have to say great work on the xandroid.

Battery life observation

Just an observation, I've been using TheBrilliantMistake's XDAndroid builds for quite a while now, and there is a definite improvement using the overclocked settings for Blackstone.

I've not felt like switching back to WinMo this week (for power reasons), and I'm getting near to a full days use with my device is now running completely cold in standby. I get from morning to early evening (@ 10 hours) before I put it on charge.

REALLY impressed with the OP/Developers on this project, stunning job, so close now to something very special.
[Touch HD Android Development] DejaVu1977:
I've also been following the releases in this thread for a while, but have had some serious issues with the newest one.

Although it seems quicker, I cannot get into the Adroid Market place anymore. I keep getting the 'Force Close' dialogue box.

I'm going to format and start again, but I was wondering if the first post could be edited to include all the previous releases too.

I found the one previous to this one more stable TBH and I dont really use GPS or Voice control on my phone anyway at the moment.

--EDIT--

This maybe because I didnt use the Overclock HD in the selection process. I'll report back if it is any better after I reinstall.
[Touch HD Android Development] DejaVu1977:
Nope. Seems to hang all the time and I cant download anything from the Android Market Place. Try and it says "Download Unsuccesful".

I've googled something about clearing Download Manager, but it doesnt seem to exist in this release. :(
