Haret.exe boot experiences ... Blazin 'n' Reference

I've experienced similar XDAndroid boot failures when launching haret.exe from a shortcut I created in WM6.5 native Today screen, Spb Pocket Plus, or Spb Mobile Shell. I don't use Sense UI so I can't comment.

I have had no such random boot failures by tapping on haret.exe within Total Commander file explorer, Resco File Explorer, or using Sov's Startup Utility v1.3.1. When rebuilding the data.img file I occasionally have to do a battery pull on 1st boot.

I also liked Blazin mainly for Launcher Pro. Reference uses Launcher 2.2(?). Launcher Pro is free in the market but wasn't as stable in the Reference build for me as when cooked into Blazin build. Others report using Launcher Pro with no problems. Blazin also has a few other goodies like Clock Sync and Auto Memory Manager. I think these are also available in the Market.

You can manually update Blazin with Stinebd's current rootfs.img and GlemSom's kernel (zImage) & modules-xxxxxx.tar.gz. But you can't use the newest System build FRX02 25-10-10 (system.ext2) a major update! It is included in Sov's latest reference build. I'm sure Sov has heard the cries for an updated Blazin build and currently has other priorities.

If you switch to Blazin from Reference you will need to delete or move the existing data.img file. In doing so you will lose your customizations including installed software. Titanium Backup makes restoring your apps and data less painful.

I no longer overclock as it was more problematic and stock speed reliability & consistency makes for an overall better experience IME.

It's here on XDA. A simple search should find it for you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Bubly duck:
Installed. Works except wifi. Cant start.

Googling for chmod 777 wpa_supplicant.conf, renaming it or deleting did not help. Any solution?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] adamsmiley:
You need to plug in your head phones in the the USB port (I have not tryed the 3.5 mm plug to see if it works or not). Call your VM then start Android with the VM still going. After Android starts running the head phones will work. :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] fish2222:
Anyone with any ideas on this issue?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kaybegod:
I still experience the reboot when using the volume up/down. I never experienced it while in calls
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Colombia81er:
Same here but after it reboots the phone lags ...... and it will just freeze up :( .

I was using Tunein Radio for about 3hrs went to send a TXT it then rebooted:eek:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Bombenbach:
Well, actually you don't need a patched kernel to make the home button work. Just changing one number in an appropriate file is sufficient. BTW, long press works too. See my fix thread I did it for german keyboard, but it's the same for uk, fr and so on.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] adamsmiley:
I found that for Waze to look right you have to set hw3d.force=0 in the setup.txt I have not found any other issue with my phone when I do this. I don't have any 3D games so I don't know if they will work or not when you do this. :)

I guess I don't have a program to edit the file (it's -r-).

Also, for the rhodium 400, there are 2 files. I'll have to go back a few revs to see if I can pull out what I need to put in there.

That and figure out how to edit a -r- file.

well thnx adamsmiley...unfortunately i dont have usb headphones but i have the 3.5mm headphones and will try that and report my findings if any ..thnx again :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] vnes1984:
ditto- thanks and I will try as well
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] coolwater22:
well i just tried it and it doesnt work,i get some static things and can hear when i plug in the headphones(idk if that makes sense) but i still get the sound from the speaker and android doesnt recognize that headphones are plugged in... :( if i could get the headphones working,then i will use android all the time cause i use it to listen to music while on the bus to school..well it was worth a try

Thnx to the devs..keep up the good work..:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Need to adjust your startup.txt, and it breaks ALL other sound. So basically you will ONLY get sound out of the headphones... Whether they're plugged in or not.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] slickdaddy96:
What do you adjust in the startup.txt file. I have not read anywhere that you can get the headphones working. So a detailed instruction on what to adjust or put in the startup file would be greatly appreciative.

do you have to install the hard spl for android to work?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
No, it runs entirely off of the SD.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] G1-8701:
ok well i tried to run it from his sdcard but it said something about not enough space, but i had installed it to the sdcard fine, but when i went to run it, it got stuck at the black screen with the penguin on it, and it won't boot into android, i just get a bunch of errors.....

how long should the first boot take???

and his sdcard is almost full, could that effect the boot process???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] LDGator:
I'm gonna get slammed as an enabler if I first don't tell you to search & you will find almost all your answers.

I think you answered your own question or just maybe that error message is correct. It is recommended your SD card have at least 500MB free space. The 1st time you boot into Android it creates a file named data.img, and that file will be 256MB in size. So check your free space and look in your Android boot directory (possibly "andboot") and delete any existing data.img file otherwise do some serious cleanup or new card investment time.

1st boot into Android or anytime it builds a new data.img will take 2-7 minutes and the line it's paused on will indicate it is creating new data file.

Good luck & again search & find answers & FAQ is a good read.

so is anyone in the works or is it even possible to get the backlight and indicator led control in android? im new to this and was wondering, thats the main drawbak for me right now and sometimes the cdma radio drops for a moment. i was also wondering what kind of background do you need to start working on the development of this, im a 2nd year computer science n just need to be pointed in the right direction. thanks :)

Wi-Fi "Error"

I'm running FRX02, 11/3 kernel, 11/3 rootfs (modded from PPCGeeks w/Power button as Home), and I've just noticed my Wi-Fi isn't working. I don't believe it was working using the "regular" 11/3 kernel & rootfs either. This is on both my RHOD300, TOPA210 & RAPH110 (though in this case, it seems to work at first, and I get an error the second time around). I assume this issue was introduced in the newest kernel. Anyone else having Wi-Fi issues using the latest stuff? (I'm probably going to cross-post this in the Topaz & Raphael threads, as I have all 3 devices, to see if it's just me).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Didja get the dirty modules installed (giggity)?

Since the kernel is being built as a one-off, the modules has the word 'dirty' in it because it's not part of the official tree if-you-will... With that said, be sure you delete your old modules file and ensure the 'dirty' modules that came with Nate's zip are the only modules present.

Also, you gotta at least test it on the autobuild kernels - c'mon dude :p

Sorry missed this one. So you're a CS student and can't search? ;) The best type of knowledge for this project is all programming knowledge haha - there's a little bit of everything, but the most important type of knowledge would be Linux embedded knowledge. A lot of the work being done currently is in the kernel, and it seems that is almost all C. There's some C++ and Java in the userland stuff, but that doesn't need too much work (it would seem). Mobile development is a very odd beast, as HTC isn't giving out any information on how the devices work. So it's all guess-work, reverse-engineering, and a lot of testing. There is a dev with some Qualcomm docs, and he's been helping a lot lately... If you do think you can lend a hand, get the source and come over to #htc-linux.

Oh and to answer your question about the LED. There's an app called LEDEffects, but it doesn't seem to fully support the RHOD, haven't heard much about it lately TBH. It allows you to completely customize how the LEDs are treated, worked fabulously on the RAPH.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Pancho971:
With the HTC Legend Froyo update could we have a chance having a more powerfull build?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Sherri1023:
IT depends if our devices can handle it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Sherri1023:
Can one of you guys release another update that adds more memory to the Data.img? So I can add more apps and themes lol.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Naadi900:
Anybody some ideas on how i can get my rhod100_uk to work again with the newer kernels.. Have done what you suggested arrrghhh, formatted with HP tool, newest build, newest updates, everything i can think of. It got messed up with the second 10/23 kernel, the build log said: "add auto-bl for raph+rhod" so I guess there has got to do something with that. But as a total noob when it comes to developing I can't figure it out myself xD

Thanks for any thoughts!

PS.

Next time I'll first look at the topic list before auto piloting to this thread haha. There is a thread on the rhod100_xx problems in the topic list.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
Try searching a little. Or just looking.

Go to the sub-forum that this thread is in, and look out for a thread called '[APP] Windows: Create Your Own Data.img Maker Application, +/- From Existing data.img' posted by Viper Matrix Wireless.

I don't get why this would make you laugh out loud? What gives?

I have a Tilt 2, and have never been able to get this to work. I've tried the BLAZN and the normal over several releases, also trying the cab and rar, and nothing ever gets past the black text screen.

Hey guys, i have android working on my tilt 2, but its been a while since ive had it and i am unsure which is the newest version available and it would help alot it some1 could show me where to download the enwest version...........oh and also when i try using the update button when i launch android it says update server unavailable...........and does the newest update have working headphones :confused: because i cld really use tht :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bennett4490:
If you look at the text it may give you some clues.

This happened to me - or something very similar. It seemed to be having trouble reading/writing something to the SD card. I backed EVERYTHING up, formatted the card, then put everything back and tried again. Worked perfectly!

The other issue I've had is if overclocking in WinMo prior to the boot into XDAndroid it locks up, as the Blazn version at least seems to try to overclock as well even if you tell it not to. When that happens it locks at startup App screen and doesn't even make it to the Linux scrolling text screen.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] TragicPhill:

Sound

So everything is running fine and dandy on the newest BLAZN (except bluetooth and all the stuff I knew wouldn't work), except my sound isn't working. I've made a couple calls, and the in-call speaker is extremely loud, mic works great according to the people on the other end, but there is no sound when I receive a call or sample a ringtone or anything. No system sounds whatsoever. Ideas?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] rabnud:
I did the same manual build install yesterday. So far, the only thing that I've encountered thats "odd" about it, is on every 2nd boot the bottom 4 keys stay lit up. I did have my Tilt2 (11/3) randomly reboot on me twice while in the middle of a convo. Not gonna stop me from using it though!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] tarroyo:
Goddamn how long does it take to load the latest 11/01 build? I'm going on 20 minutes watching all the coding on the screen. I've soft reset numerous times. Installed/Soft reset then uninstalled, deleted all the android files from my sd card then installed again same thing.

Of all the builds I've used this has to be the slowest to startup. . .

EDIT: The issue was caused by not even space on my sd card.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
That's because every second boot you had them lit when you ran HaRET to boot XDAndroid. We don't yet have control of the bottom key or keyboard lights in Android, so if they are on when you boot, they stay on.

Touch Pro 2 keyboard backlight

I've just installed Android on my TP2 and it runs like a champ.. However, at night my backlight on the keyboard isn't on like it does in windows mobile... Is there a fix for this or a setting i'm not familiar with?

I installed the Nov 1, 2010 5:33 PM CAB build. I wanted a clean install because i thought something might have gone wrong with the whole "freezing up" of the GSM side.

Everything installed fine, i formatted SD card beforehand.

But it still freezes up. my TP2 was on for about an hour, and I dialed my phone from a different phone, i could hear it ringing in the earpiece from the phone i was dialing, but nothing appeared on the TP2, it didn't wake up from sleep and indicate someone was calling, you could also not hear it ring.. It was just dead.

When i turned the TP2 on, to try dial someone, it just hangs - the dialing side freezes up....however everything else seems to work still.

*Sigh* i guess this is what an Ipod Touch must feel like - everything like a phone, cept it can't call/receive calls!! Haha
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Not enabled in Android yet. You can have them always on if you have them enabled in WinMo while Android boots...

But there is no keyboard light or button light support yet. Should come soon hopefully.

This is the first time I am trying Android on my Sprint TP2. I downloaded ProjectAndroid2.2Froyo.110110.cab to my SD card and when I click it from the file manager it immediately goes to a screen that says Installation of ProjectAndroid2.2Froyo.110110.cab was unsuccessful. Any idea what the issue is?

Don't use the cab, just extract the rar to your sd card.

You were installing the cab to your SD right?

I have a RHOD210 (Tmobile Touch Pro 2 - the RHOD210 on the startup program matches my phone) and XDAAndroid seems to install and run fine, but I can't get wifi to start. When I click Turn on Wifi, after a couple seconds it starts to scan for networks, says 'Unable to scan for networks' and then turns right off.

I don't currently have a data plan so I can't really test much more, but it seems calls and data does work (I get the 'buy data plan' message which indicates it is connecting). From a search it does seem others report this problem and the result is 'go to a version that works' but this is the first version I've tried.. should I download 2.1 and try that?

Thanks to the developers and everyone else for sharing the distribution. I've actually played with Android on my Mogul but that was painfully slow (Mogul hardware limitations). It looks usable on this if I can just get wifi up and running.

EDIT: I upgraded my SOVStartup (apparently the one I downloaded with the ROM has been updated) and now when I try to start Wifi it says 'Error'.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] gor420:
Works great!

Kudos to the devs for the hard work they have been putting into the porting. I had a buddy install it some months back and it had a lot more bugs than now. I just installed it on my Sprint TP2 4gb SD for the first time and it works great. I am using the blazn build. I have been booting it with "Modest" overclock and unchecked hardware 3d and it seems to run the most stable like this. Wifi, 3g, and most everything works. Haven't tried bluetooth, gallery is buggy, no camera, but I think all else is solid. Oh, and the battery meter is still a little funky. It's crazy fast compared to winmo and it's running off an SD card. I think winmo and winblowz are going to be leaving my life again for good. Going back to full Slackware for PC and Android for phone. If windows ever wants to be known as reliable they need to completely redesign the entire foundation instead of stacking turds on top of turds on top of win 3.1.

On another note, I noticed a lot of mention of winmo settings affecting Android settings such as; the keyboard light, and CDMA/GSM settings. I suggest if anyone is having any problems with Android, it may help to think of how they have winmo set up as it could be affecting Android. I think in the winmo settings I had the network settings set as GSM/CDMA instead of just CDMA. Also, I removed my SIM card to avoid any unusual issues it might cause. I was having some 3g issues before I set the winmo settings to CDMA only. Anyways, thanks again for the efforts in making this port a reality.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
Make sure you are trying to connect to a WPA or WPA2 secured network, or an open one. XDAndroid will not connect to a WEP secured network. Other than that, it should work fine, though there are a small number of people for whom wifi just doesn't work.

You might like to try starting again from scratch: first of all delete the file data.img - you will lose all your settings - and reboot.

If that doesn't work, try deleting everything off your SD card, formatting it with a tool like the HP one to fat32 (Windwos one isn't good enough), and installing again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
Gallery requires hardware 3D, so it won't work if you uncheck HW3D. Blutooth isn't functioning yet.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
i have your same phone (RHOD210), and wifi (and wifi tethering) works for me.. like snal said above me.. make sure your NOT connecting to a WEP network.. ONLY open, WPA, WPA2.. and if that doesn't work, start from scratch.. if that fails, BACK-UP your important files from your microSD to your PC, and format your microSD.. now put your backed-up files on your mSD, and add the new Android files (via rar or cab), boot and try again.. if that still fails, must be your router, or your phone.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pitflyer:
Thanks for the replies. I never get far enough to even try connecting to my WIFI (which is WPA2, not WEP) because it says 'Error' or won't scan at all -- I don't even see a list of access points to join.

I do have a spare 2gb MicroSD card that I started from scratch with; I had formatted it before and the ONLY thing on the card was Android. I will try formatting it again and starting from scratch one more time. I found HP USB Tool via Google and using that now...

Finally, while I don't disagree it could still be my own setup, I will state that Wifi on the phone along with my router works with no issues at all under WinMo 6.5 (I run the Energy ROM). Just won't start under Android.

But I'll give it a couple more shots and report back.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pitflyer:
Just reporting back

1) Used HP USB tool to format 2gb card to FAT32

2) Copied the folder structure exactly as-is from the download site to the root of this folder (andboot, Program Files and readme.txt)

3) Put SD in Tmobile Touch Pro 2

4) Launched XPAndroid Startup

5) Clicked Update, which detected and downloaded a new update- Chose RHOD210

6) Clicked Boot.. which after a few minutes hung on a black screen.

7) Restarted phone wen to XPAndroid and Boot again

8) This time went through, created file system, started up fine

9) When I turn on wifi, it attempts to scan for networks, says 'Unable to scan for networks' and then turns off the wifi.

I never get so far as to choose the type of network, but I would be using a WPA2 network if I did...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] minikirchner:
I don't think anyone addressed your issues that I noticed. Mine does the same thing. If you go into the connections, you have to enable the data connection at the bottom. That should fix the problem with the server.

The newest updates DO have headphones, but you have enable it in the startup.txt and it will disconnect all other sound. So you will not have ringtones or your speaker. It's up to you if that's worth it. Hope this helped!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
So you have the snd.force statement in your startup? It =2? The only other thing left to do would be plug in the headphones in WinMo. Make a call to voicemail, and boot haret at the same time. Assuming your voicemail doesn't hang up quickly on its own, it should work. Again, this breaks ALL sound except for what is coming out of the headphones.
