BLAZN better as NEW Reference

Ok, this is my first impressions about last (stand Monday 22.11.10) XANDROID Versions.

I tested both of them (Froyo 2.2 Reference and Blazn) on HTC Touch Pro 2 from O2 Germany GSM-Network.

1. Reference:

- after device goes in sleep mode or I turn them off, the phone don't work ! It means, that Cellular Network or even GSM-Radio just stops working! Wifi works fine though.

- If I start HARET with start up tool it happens some time, that android works sooooo slooooow and some time it freezes...

- Power button is not mapped at all.

2. BLAZN:

- I was surprised how stable and fast it is, even if I turned the over clocking off. GSM-Radio and wifi ( with WPA and MAC Filtering) working even after sleep-awake. Market is also working just fine.

- Power button is mapped as Home.

There is one thing though about this version that makes it a little bit "****ty" for me. There is no Russian location/dictionary/keyboard. In Menu-Settings-Locations are just EN, DE, IT, SPA location. If some body just could tell me, how to put extra locations in this BLAZN it would be just perfect for my needs !

P.S. I tried "More location 2" from market but Russian is enabled just in couple things. Settings and options also keyboard and dictionary are still in English.

Can I just copy some location file from Referenz in BLAZN some how ?

Please help me :)

P.P.S. I want to thank all XANDROID developers for this gorgeous work. I am student for now, but when I'll start to work and make money, I will donate so much for you :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] figment1986:
Trying this out and it looks wonderful, I agree with others if the camera worked this would be what I would use instead of winmo 6.5! Going to field test this tomorrow at disney!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] F22:
I can't help you with BLAZN which is 2 months out of date at this point, but the latest version of the reference build most definitely has the Power Button mapped to POWER. On a short press it should put your phone to sleep, or if it's alrady asleep, wake it up. On a long press it should give you a silent mode/airplane mode/power off menu. If you're not seeing that, then you're running an old version.

The startup tool is for XDAndroid, but it isn't officially part of XDAndroid. If there are issues with it then you need to talk to its author. Generally speaking, if android is sluggish, then it's busy doing something major. This is to be expected during the first 5 -10 minutes after it has booted during a fresh install. If it persists, then you may want to back up and then delete your data.img. This will force android to recreate it the next time you start android.

What is sleep_mode set to in your startup.txt file? If it's less than 2, I'd set it to 2, particularly if you're overclocking. Mine is set to 2 and it wakes up just fine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] d0nate110:
My Reference Release is from 4.NOV 2010 and its horrible. However BLAZN is the best until now. I noticed though that in sleep mode by incoming call my partner don't hear me until I change the volume... But this is still the best version I ever tested. The new kernel for example from 11.11.2010 does not work at all.

I just need a full Russian localization like in Reference and I'll be happy :)

If the localization files are in rootfs.img I can easily mount it and replace from Reference. But I don't know WHERE there are...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pgdrz4:
hmm this is odd, when i go to the bottom where the build is at it doesn't show an FRX version

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pgdrz4:
ok got it:)

ok everythings good now. downloaded the system-FRX03 Zip and replaced it and deleted date imag and its great. faster and comes out of sleep mode when downloading apps now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
At this point, stuff from Nov. 4 is old as well. There was a new system image (FRX03) that was just released a few days ago... Please do a little searching before posting.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kaybegod:
Thanks arrghhh. I downloaded the official image and replaced the one that was on my phone. Deleted that data.img file. Phone rebooted on its own twice but all is good now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Good to hear it. Sorry for the early leaks, I probably should've just been patient ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cg.voabc:
Just got this going on my T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 and I'm really loving it except for one quirk.

It seems that when I'm on a call and have to dial an extension during the call; I assume it activates the speaker as I get white noise in the speaker.

I've tested several times and I can only get the noise to start the second I press a number on the dialpad.

Any ideas?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kwoodyusa:
I just want to say thanks to all the developers working on this project. I am currently using the FRX03 release and things are running much better. On FRX02, GPS would take almost 15 minutes to get lock. Now down to less than 30 seconds.

Big thanks to arrrghhh!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] toadlife:
I've seen this too. I've found that you can get rid of the buzz by turning the speaker on and off during the call. Just hit the menu (Home) key and click 'speaker' twice.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Teknoo:
oke.. im tottaly new with this..

So i want android on my htc touch pro 2! I clicked the link in the first page wich brings me to the download website

And there I downloaded this file: RAR - Android v2.2 Froyo: BLAZN

Then I checked out the link to the youtube video by mobilemiddleman and followed the tutorial, did everything as told extracted,copied, etc.

Then i came to the part where you startup android with the Haret thingie?

Instead of booting I get this screen wich says:

Launch a script file. Default path is the same where the executable live.

Default.txt Run

Start waiting for connection on port 9999.

When you connect, you'll get a remote hardware examination tool.

Listen for network connection

Found machine rhodium

When I click run it gives the error: Cannot open script file \opslagkaart\default.txt

Opslagkaart = sd card

So I have no idea how to continue now.. As I said im a total newbie in this world.. so if some1 could help me out..? I would be very thankfull!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] toadlife:
Are you putting all of the files in a directory on your SD card?

If so what did you name the directory?

Can you post the contents of the file, "startup.txt" (which should be in the directory)?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Well it seems like you did a little bit of legwork. Just need to do a little more. Your startup.txt sounds bad/missing - please read the FAQ.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] d0nate110:
I did little searching and found, that BLAZN Version is still with September Kernel and it calls FRX00B. Also I did today one more update with 11.11.2010 kernel

from this site

http://glemsom.users.anapnea.net/android2/htc-msm-linux/

and it also crashes at loading Haret.

I rather be happy to keep old BLAZN but with RUS localization.

But I don't know, how to put new local in old BLAZN !

P.S. I see just now (20:36 GERMAN TIME) that 26 min ago the new FRX03 was released. I'll test this new version tomorrow.

BTW does somebody know how to put BLAZN Theme on new Froyo ?

(Just for the case if I like the new one :) )
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Teknoo:
I did now.. I called the directory Android

There is no startup.txt in this directory..?

only another directory wich is called XDandroidstartup
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] toadlife:
I've found that you can prevent the problem from occurring by disabling audible touch tones in Settings>Sound!

I've filed a bug report regarding this issue with the project.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] toadlife:
The startup.txt file needs to be in the android directory. I bet the XDandroidstartup program is having trouble with your ROM being non-English. Trying copying the startup.txt file from the XDandroidstartup directory into the Android directory and then launch haret.exe.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
Try the FRX03 Reference - it really is quite nice! Add the LauncherPro and you're set!

However, I think you have a rhod100 so the newest kernel you will be able to use is the first one from October 23rd, ie before the auto_bl changes. Newest rootfs is fine though.

So go to the FAQ/download site, get the new reference rar, and get the 23rd October kernel and replace the kernel and modules that come with the rar. The links to the kernels are under Project Tracking.

Once you have got that all sorted, you should have a reasonably smooth stable system, although on some boots it can still be really sluggish :( When it is, give it a while, and if it doesn't improve try booting again!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Teknoo:
There is no startup.txt in the XDandroidstartup directory.. There only is XDandroidstartup.exe
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Either use the startup utility, or read the FAQ I posted earlier...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Teknoo:
If I use the startup thingie.. i get this screen where to select my phone.. After that I touch Boot! And get this error: storage card\andboot: directory does not exist

And about the FAQ.. I cant find much info there..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] re4p3r:
No Mic

Hi, i just started using the android on my TP2 and i did see that the mic does not work on speakerphone but when i receive or make calls the other person cant hear me. im just wondering if this is normal or if it can be fixed? Im on a T-mobile touch pro 2 btw
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] d0nate110:
Thank you for your advice !

I already downloaded the new FRX03, will test it tomorrow.

Have I understood you right, I must replace only the kernel in this new Release with the old one from 23 OKT 2010 ?

There are two of them which one shall I use ?

htc-msm-linux @ 20101023_021801

or

htc-msm-linux @ 20101023_014031

With first one _021801 sound don't work... stays in comment for my HTC Touch Pro 2...

EDIT:

Can I use the same Kernel 20101023_014031 for BLAZN Release ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] re4p3r:
after you go into the startup screen, go to advanced settings and make sure that the "haret.exe" directory at the very bottom is correct. mine says "storage card\andboot" within the box to the left of \haret.exe
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Teknoo:
So does mine.. still gives the same message..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
That field is set up for you to input the location of your Android install. If yours isn't in "andboot", then you need to change it to the name of the folder that has haret.exe in it. NOTE: It is not recommended to have your Android install in a folder called "Android", because the Android system uses an "Android" folder to store system/data files, and it may cause issues.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Teknoo:
Oke haha i just found out.. Of course I had to change storagecard into opslagkaart because thats my language ;)

Its booting now.. thanks for the help! Hope its works properly..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] d0nate110:
I just couldn't wait and I tried this Kernel 20101023_014031 with old BLAZN Release.

- Home Button is not mapped ( but there is a way to fix it :) )

- LED is STILL not working properly even with last LEDeffects 0.9.0.1

( may be I do something wrong, I choose Topaz in settings)

- ext mic works but in one way, it means the caller don't hear you, but you can loudly hear him...

+ a little bit faster without overclicking

+ Incoming Call issue (caller don't hear you until you press "down volume") seems to be fixed

++ Device don't freezes when you turn it off !!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Teknoo:
Hmm it works oke i guess.. dont have much time to figure it out tonight!

Only thing not working yet is the Gen.y if i start my phone it says android missing in that screen.. Anyone knows what to do haha?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
Yes, as you've found that kernel/modules can be used with the old BLAZN release too. The key mappings are done in the rootfs, and you can use the latest rootfs in either the BLAZN build or the Reference one.

You might find that there will be a new BLAZN build in the near future, so hopefully BLAZN die-hard fans will get to taste the stability of the FRX03 build too!

F22 has been doing some good things relating to the power/home keymapping function, and I now have power doing sleep & silent/airplane quick menu, and the end call button doing home/recent apps. The only disadvantage is that neither button ends a call, but I'm not finding that to be an issue myself (menu - end call instead).

I'm using the same version of LedEffects as you, and it works most of the time. But the wake/sleep amber/green do sometimes still break through!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jordanthompson:
I am confused on the LauncherPro update... I assumed that "update" meant "update xdandroid" (not the launcherpro itself).

I just told launcherpro to check for updates and it found none (I am running on a previous release of xdandroid.) Since there is a new release out (granted it is very new) I assumed that it would have found it and updated xdandroid.

Is it perhaps that the launcherpro is looking online at the old version of xdandroid?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jordanthompson:
There are plenty of places that discuss this. All you need is my friend called "google" :p This sounds crazy, but I promise it works:

1) Make a call to your voicemail.

2) Turn on the speakerphone.

3) Boot into xdandroid while the voice is prompting you to hit a key.

As xdandroid comes up, you will hear hissing and crackling on the speaker.

4) As soon as you do anything that involves the speaker (in xdandroid), this will go away.

There apparently is a bug where the mic is not initialized properly.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jordanthompson:
I think I found the answer to my own question... I see in snalbansed's last post that "You might find that there will be a new BLAZN build in the near future" I assumed (I know what it means :-) ) that these were all the same family. I see that is not the case and need to research the different versions a little better...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
I'm confused as to what you are confused about!

LauncherPro is the application that controls your home screens and the launcher buttons at the bottom of the screen in Android. The reference build comes with the Google Android original launcher/home screens, with three icons at the bottom of the screen if memory serves me right.

The BLAZN build had an alternative launcher called LauncherPro. This has 5 icons at the bottom as default, and has more control over the home screen layout/look/number etc.

I was suggesting that people might like to try out the Reference build, but add LauncherPro to it to get the extra features it offers.

What you are talking about sounds more like the XDAndroid launcher progam that you use in Windows Mobile to start Android in the first place. Is this what you are referring to? If so, try asking your question in the thread that is dedicated to that application, elsewhere in this sub-forum.

If you are wanting the new FRX03 system.ext2, you aren't going to get it with the WinMo update application.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Shame on you, there's tons of info in the FAQ. Especially info directly pertaining to your issue...

Yes, you should be able to use any kernel/rootfs with any build. With that said, not everything will work as some rootfs modifications require system changes, etc. But for the most part, should be fine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jordanthompson:
OK - I see why we are confused. You are right - I thought you were referring to XDAndreoidStartup (which I use to configure and launch haret.) For some reason I thought it was called launcherpro :o ...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lilchicano:
its been awhile since ive messed around with android since my rhodium is starting to break down on me, but still its fun having these things to piss off iphone users :p

i havent used gen.y in a good couple of months but i do remember that you had to do a reg edit to get it working right. use a program like total commander or any of your choice that lets you edit it. then if i remember the right path of it, then it should be HKCU\Software\Gen.y\Android(boot i believe?) but then you add the folder name where haret.exe is located which in ours is andboot, unless you renamed your folder.

hope that helped you out

new FRX03 impressions

OK, I've installed the new FRX03 and its definitely a lot better, as old FRX02 version. I didn't change the Kernel and didn't overclocked СPU.

So far issues:

- Power_Button is still not mapped on Rhod100_de version. But it can be easily fixed, so its not that bad ! I just did it so, that end_call_button is Power off button and it actually ends a call...the power_button is home button...

- LED still does what he wants, and not what I want :)

- ext mic still working wrong, caller don't hear you if mic is on.

- you can't change 2G/3G for spare battery life

- you don't have delivery approval for sending sms

-+ not that fast (or not at all) as I've expected...but its just my own opinion...looks same speed to me.

+ wifi and GSM-Radio-Module working fine even after sleep-awake

Does some body know how to change stock theme from Froyo to any other theme...for example BLAZN ? :) I just love this black look and transparent notification tray. It has to be a way to change the themes !
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] d0nate110:
Please help me with Theme or Localization

EDIT

I just mounted data.img and rootfs.img and didn't find nothing what is some how related to THEME or LOCALIZATION stuff.

I have 2 possibilities to be happy android user:

1. I need to apply BLAZN theme to new FRX03 Version

or

2. Insert multi language support from Reference FRX03 Release into old BLAZN Release FRX00B .

Can some body help me ? :)

P.S. It would be awesome if somebody just tell me which files are responsible for either LOCALIZATION support or to THEME....and where can this files...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Naadi900:
I just know that the theme is located in the system.ext2 part.. and that arrrghhh or f22? are trying to get the know how from reef to create a new BLAZN theme with the newest updates.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] d0nate110:
I suppose that LOCALIZATION files should be also in that ext2 file...hm..?

I just found in APP/latinIME.apk package. The difference between BLAZN and Reference is, that in BLAZN this package contains just 5 languages...but I'm not sure that it is a full Language Pack and not just keyboards...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jenda.69:
Hmm, I downloaded FRX03 system.ext2, rootfs.img, deleted old data.img... But whole android is extremely slow now (~ 1-2 fps). And I can't turn wifi on...

I think I did something wrong...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] d0nate110:
Try to reboot a couple times (I did it twice) then speed must be normal again.

But why wifi is not going is really weird... on my device it goes flawlessly...

Check PSK key (so far I know only WPA is supported not WEP) and may be MAC filtering on your router...

Not able to receive calls

All is well in Android on my TP2-land except that I can't receive calls. Everything else seems to be working well.

I did a quick search of this thread and came up with some people who are having similar issues but no resolutions.

Any ideas?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] d0nate110:
What do you mean "I can't receive calls" ?

I did have this kind of problem that my phone just lost connection or GSM-Module didn't wake up after sleep. LED turned amber but no call were received. If you have same issue than I would recommend you to change the kernel to another one. For me was the right one from 23. OKT 20101023_014031. Also I could receive the calls with old BLAZN version and with same kernel. Try out, may be it will help...

EDIT: F22 told me, that for my phone which is RHOD100_de this is the best kernel, so I give the credits to him...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cg.voabc:
What I mean by " I can't receive calls" is as I have my TP2 in my hands surfing the app store, I call my TP2 from my work phone and it goes straight to voice mail; yet I'm able to call my work phone from my TP2 immediately after and am able to make the call.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] captobie:
Are you using a CDMA phone?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
That's only for the boot issues, for some reason RHOD100's can't boot with later kernels.

Delete the data.img. Fixed F22's problem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jenda.69:
I rebooted twice, but it's still very slow (actually, now it seems even slower than before)...

And I can't turn wifi on at all. If I tap on "wi-fi" in settings, it says "turning on..." for ~15 sec and then "Error"...

I'll try to download some Android files again...

//problem solved: I downloaded FRX03 once again and now it's ok.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] d0nate110:
In few post ago some one told me, that you and F22 are trying to extract BLAZN theme for new FRX03... Is this Theme-thing so deep integrated in whole system ?

I thought that theme is some thing like XML-File or tar.gz Package, that can be applied or removed...(in linux that is normal case)

I mounted this *.ext2 file but didn't find nothing similar to Theme or Blazn name...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I don't think the theme in this is like normal Android phones, but I have no clue. I'm working with the dev who originally made BLAZN. Seems like it's not going to be worth his time to get me up to speed, he's only got one thing hanging him up...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] d0nate110:
Could he just post some sources or structure (like tree) of his Theme. I can't imagine, that transparency or black style is some thing very hard to code :)

This is probably an entry in couple XML-Settings files..the problem is, that you must know what this entries are look like and where the must be changed...

But I have no idea if my thoughts are true :)

This could be one part of the answer-concept

Wont Install

I have never had this problem before. Android has always been working quite well for me, but recently, stuff hit the fan.

Not too long ago I was having trouble the launcher, which simply wouldn't work, preventing me from doing anything and forcing me to reset into winmo. TO remedy, I figured the best thing to do would be to download the .cab file once again and simply reinstall. However, I have downloaded the file multiple times, and whenever I click on the .cab to install it simply doesn't do anything. It just shows TotalCommander in the top right switch to "Start" even though the commander page is still visible. IT NEVER ATTEMPTS TO INSTALL :(

Anyone know why this could happen? :confused:

I really wanna get it installed again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Don't use the cab. Format your SD, start with the rar.
