Not certain about this but try adding htc_hw.force_cdma=1 to your startup.txt file. You need to add it to the cmdline options.

If you're not sure what this mean... it means find the line that starts with

set cmdline "......"

In between the quotes are a list of parameters.... add 'htc_hw.force_cdma=1' (no quotes) into that list, without losing any of the others.
[Touch HD Android Development] whitefalcon:
The android is under development for the touch HD and yet cannot be used a full fledged device cause of certain issues like battery, GPS, camera. So you will need to be patient while the developers tries to come up with solutions :D all of which has been posted on the 1st post.
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
You should also note that the battery reading is inaccurate, so Android can say battery is drained when it isn't... and shuts down.

Android works pretty ok without Wifi... but at the moment, WiFi uses a LOT of battery... this WILL be improved, but as others have said, and the opening post states... it's under development. This is not a finished product yet.

I know it's a pain, but it's the same pain for us all (including the developers).

The developers are smart guys, but there isn't many of them, and they don't have all the hardware specifications from HTC... so they have to guess, or work hard to find out about the hardware details, and how to fine tune for battery performance.

Stick with it... it has improved dramatically in just a few months, and there are daily updates...

rootfs problem

This version still has the same rootfs rebooting problem as the previous one on the Touch Pro Raplh 800... I tried to use the rootfs problem from a few post back but its not working on this build - still rebooting during setup.
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
This build is precisely the same build as 2.1a, just with a new installer and options for overclocking.

It does not include the older (but working) rootfs for touchpro.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place on that one. As soon as there's a significant rootfs update that work for all devices again, I'll do a new release with a major version change...e.g 2.2

I 'could' put two rootfs images into the build but I'm reluctant to do this, would prefer to wait until I can use one rootfs for all devices again.

Ok 1 problem fixed on to another

OK Got the rebooting problem fixed - used the working root file from 2.0 version - but now im stuck in the registration part keep getting sent back to the google connection screen in setup - ( where i enter my email and password ) not letting me connect for some weird reason ??? Anyone else have this problem...

Created a google account from the settings instead. Worked fine.

This worked for Diamond and HD.

Good luck, let me know if you get that far;-)
[Touch HD Android Development] gatorlounge:
Got it

hewwww finally got it after alot of reinstalls. I ended up having to reformat my sd card. Thinking I had some other android files still on there and it was causing problems. Im good now - but still no data - Darn metro pcs- If i caould just figure it out this would run perfect and be my full time system...Thanks you so so so much for all the help this really is alot of great work you are doing....
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
There's a whole bunch of searching to do...

but I do recall some folks claiming they set their device to CDMA only and it worked, or fooled around between 'auto' 'GSM' and 'CDMA' in the phone settings and managed to get some life!

Others have had to enter their APN manually. I'm assuming Metro PCS is GSM/PCS? or is that just an old name for a network that's now CDMA?
[Touch HD Android Development] xiadz:
the 2,1b is a nice improvement

but it has this same problem that the 2.1a have

I am not able to change wallpaper :

When i try to change it shows message that my camera/pictures gallery stopped working....

I know it is bit silly cos overall speed and stability is spot on..

for sure much much better than sense version

Do any body else have this same problem?

[Touch HD Android Development] kendalfung:
1. system clock seems still slow.

2. after tick the auto sync clock, the clock also dun sync the right time. (2.1 with HTC sense version can sync clock to right time.)
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
More detail please.

Is it incorrect by a factor of 'x' hours? i.e. Timezone issue? Or never gets a NITZ (Network Information Time Zone) update at all?

Thats correct it is a cdma network that connects with #777 and uses proxy I have entered in my apn setting username pass word and proxy settings it shows connected but nothing will acess the net all network not available error....

Im downloading the new version now - Thanks again for all you do u are very good at what you do.... Heres my test Im going to try and run this version all day.

[Touch HD Android Development] whitefalcon:
I dunno if there is a problem on the Auto Setup for Blackstone Over clocked cause it just hangs after setup i.e when I execute haret.exe but if I choose Blackstone normal if works. Is anyone facing this problem or is it just me.....
[Touch HD Android Development] kendalfung:
1. Not timezone issue. When the system is running for several hours, it will slower than normal clock time ( about several mins ).

2. When i tick sync time with NITZ, it also can't solve the problem. Seems sync time is not working. ( for my experience, HTC sense UI system sync with NITZ is working perfectly, but without SENCE UI version, after 1.2 version roms also have time problem. but device time is not sync with os. when you turn off and run again, WIMO time is as same as normal clock time. )
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Hmmmm overclocked or normal?

What device?

on my HD and Diamond the time is DEFINITELY being received from the network (just done some tests... set the clock to last year and wrong time, turn on auto update, and it's changed to the correct time and date again).

I'm not 100% sure about the loss of accuracy either... I am unsure how often Android is 'syncing' with NITZ. But both of my devices are correct time at the moment. On two different networks, but both UK.
[Touch HD Android Development] gatorlounge:
Ok got it all installed and running @ 10:am central - Still same problem with the root file still had to revert to the old file to get it to stop rebooting all else looks good will keep updated as I go

[Touch HD Android Development] P_i_n_k:
I've been using the 2.1a since release day and I have to say I'm chuffed, haven't been back into WinMo since.

Without WiFi on I'm getting about 15 hours between recharges now.

I've only had the odd thing give me the wait/close dialog.

Big thumbs up for this one and very much looking forward to the next release.

I don't really have need of the camera, seeming as I generally carry an SLR and three lenses with me most of the time and I've got an external GPS unit that I tend to use with my hx4700 for route finding.

Google's location service picks up where I am for the most part to within a mile or two without the GPS, which is generally good enough for most of the location based services I use. But obviously no use for route finding.

There's lots of stuff that isn't working well, but all the core features I use seem to now be stable and only battery detection is a problem, but even that's becoming more of an annoyance than a problem as time goes on.

I haven't had the deep sleep issue once yet with this build.

Thanks TBM.

[Touch HD Android Development] PeterLS:
I notice the same problem as kendalfung. Every hour the time is off by a few minutes. Even when sync time (NITZ) is on.

I run the normal image. Not the overclocked one on Blackstone. I am in the Netherlands. I noticed that when I do reboot the system it picks up the correct system time. and starts deviating from there.

I am running Android on my Blackstone now for a few days. Phone and SMS work perfectly. And so much smoother than WinMo. :-)

Keep up the brilliant work!

[Touch HD Android Development] PeterLS:
I tried to change the wallpaper by going into the gallery and trying to set the canyon picture as wallpaper. Here I encounter the same problem you describe.

If I tap and hold on the wallpaper on the home screen I get a menu with option Wallpaper. If I tap that option I can successfully change the wallpaper. But not with the pictures from the resources folder, but built in wallpaper pictures. I have to find out where they are located.

Cheers

Re: Android 2.1 (Eclair) On HTC [19 Apr 2010] (V2.1c)

Is there a way to increase or set the clock speed? I picked the overclocked install and its running at 633Mhz. I've seen people talk about faster speeds though.

Sent from my AOSP on XDANDROID MSM using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
That's the max recommended speed without entering crash city.

It's not even clear if there is a real speed improvement between the overclocked and normal setups, but many feel there is, so I've included both options

[Touch HD Android Development] brodos123:
Same problem here. Any solution??
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
It is not at emulator, it's a full Android OS.... it simply needs WinMo to boot from ROM, after which, it KILLS Windows Mobile and boots into full Android.

Making a ROM version is very difficult, and risky, and most users still like to have Windows Mobile (just in case).
[Touch HD Android Development] mcdull:

Have you tried starting over.... completely wipe the SD Card and follow the instructions in the opening post? I know it sounds stupid, but so many don't quite follow them, skip a step, or assume their setup will still work, then have issues...

Some users don't like losing their setup and so they keep their data files, and those too might cause issues (they shouldn't, but anything can happen these days!).

Hi TheBrilliantMistake, your release works like a charm in my Blackstone, If the battery level works fine, surely I'll keep in android all the time, but the accurracy of battery level it's really bad. This, plus the high battery comsumption makes my device be usable just a little bit of time.

btw, GREAT WORK!

Does anyone know if the speed of the SD card influences the speed of android?

I use a Class2 Micro SD card and my Android is not very responsive...
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Download Advanced Task Killer and start killing your tasks... they slow the device down over time.... then go to Spare Parts and set the window animations and transitions to fast... that will help a little with speed perception.

If you want iphone responsive... then it's not going to happen.

But this build is as responsive as WinMo (and many would say better)

What parts are slow?... I'm curious to understand what you're experiencing
[Touch HD Android Development] Nakht:
Nice tips.. I will test them asap.

For instance, in the main screen (home...) when I swipe the finger to the one side the screen doesn't reply immediately it seems like it has some kind of lag...

But this is just overall response times...

[Touch HD Android Development] itetcboo:
Same in my Blackstone, I think the issue is the finger is not a point, it's a little region and sometimes it fails beacause this reason.

I have 2 questions,

1st, there is a method to upgrade the version (I had previously XDAndroid 2.1 (rel 2.1a).cab) to the news ones that are coming?

2nd, there is a way to "backup" applications and his settings between releases (i.e. my previously installed 2.1a and the newest 2.1c)?

As always, let me say, GREAT JOB dude!
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Most of the time, you can simply install on top of the old version.

Your data is stored in 'data.img' file...

however... sometimes, new versions need a new version of data.img. When that happens there's little you can do other than start again.

Top tips:

- Start using Google Contacts and Google Calendar for your PIM data. This way, it gets stored in the Google cloud and you can simply 'resync' to get it all back.

- Download Astro File Manager (free) via the Market. This has a 'tool' option to let you backup your apps (stores them in a folder called backup)

how do i get senseui on this?
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
You don't

There's another thread for the Sense UI version but it's too slow and unstable at the moment (but it's improving). Sense takes up a LOT of memory

To get a similar look and feel try Weather Donate app... and download the H7C skin for it (to get the flip clock). There's lots of widgets in the market that are VERY similar to the Sense ones...

in all honesty, once you've used the real Sense for a week or so, you realise it's nothing special and you can get the same results in other ways.

There are also a couple of "home" replacement apps that have Sense skins (to get the curved tray area at the bottom of the screen).

Not sure which apps, but try Open Home.

As for the wallpaper... it's all over the web, so that's an easy fix

You can also look for Beautiful Widgets... for the comm manager type buttons to toggle wifi / gps / Bt etc... (although GPS doesn't work on Blackstone yet)

CallTrack in the Market?

Hey all,

I'm using this on my CDMA Diamond 500 (Alltel) and all is going pretty well... Here's my problem:

I can't find CallTrack in the Market. I found an APK on XDA, but it won't download, citing "This won't work with this version of Android software" or something of that nature. I was able to run this in 2.0.1, and I would imagine it is meant to work in 2.1, but I just don't know. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

hardSPL required?

Hey all,

I've recently bought a RAPH100 gsm which works like a charm, however when I try to boot android (both the package version, selected raphael non-OCed from the start post and a different build) it seems to crash somewhere.

My startup.txt

set ramsize 0x10000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 1910
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "lcd.density=210 msmts_calib=0x7a.0x5e.0x35a.0x37f clock-7x00.a11=500 msmvkeyb_toggle=off pmem.extra=1 gsensor_axis=-1,-2,3 board-htcraphael-navi.wake=0 physkeyboard=raph"
boot

Haret starts, linux kernel boots --> get to the droid bootsplash and then I can wait for over 30 minutes (it's first boot so I know it can take a while) and it gets stuck there (the animation still moves, but that's it (don't have a debug setup)).

The raphael is sim unlocked, no pin on the sim card however aside from that it's clean/default.

Anyone have suggestions (possibly hardSPL is needed?)?

Cheers,

Ynsx2
