I've done a bunch of reading and searching. I've watched Youtube videos and I've taken the plunge and downloaded a few different xdandroid packages. So far they do boot up and are mostly functional there has been one major issue that I am having and I can't find an answer anywhere. I am using a Sprint CDMA Touch Pro (I haven't seen anything saying it isn't supported but if it isn't then I guess that's the problem) or Raphael 800 as it is also called. Everything works except for the four buttons that allow you to open menus, go back a screen, answer calls, and hang up calls etc... I haven't been able to find anything about these issues in FAQs or other posts (which makes me think my phone isn't supported) any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Touch HD Android Development] patrickvh:
I now run FRX01 on a Touch Pro 2 (RAPH?).

I want to "full update" to 2.2.1 and downloaded "XDANDROID.2.2.1.AOSP.FRX03.21.11.10.FULL_PACKAGE" for it.

Just by overwriting with "system-FRX03.ext2.zip"; system.ext, does not seem to do the job.

After Haret I just keep repeating booting screen of Android (with new flying birds, so that part seemed to work).

Where is personal data stored (like sms, mail, contacts)?

Can I just back-up these directories before an update?

Or maybe someone knows what parts I need to update to FRX03?

Waiting for SD Card

I have read and search through the whole thread but doesn't seems to find the answer.

Problem is that I can run the autosetup and get to the linux screen, just when everything looks going well all the command line loading and when it get to "Welcome to Linux" the next line comes up waiting for SD Card, I have use the SD Formatter program to format my SD card and also try to put the new command line in the startup. But it still didn't work, right now it just keep loading the command of " Waiting for SD card"

Please help! Many many thanks:(

Blackstone XDAndroid running from NAND

It would be great to have a version of XDAndroid to run from NAND.

The last base ROM I cooked for my Blackstone have a huge 360 Mb free space in the NAND storage. It should be enough to run a basic version of Android.

I've tried (naively) to install the actual version of XDAndroid in the NAND, but it points to the SD card giving errors and not booting.
[Touch HD Android Development] mirko185:
hi, how can i turn off android and get back to winmo if needed? thanks:)
[Touch HD Android Development] g3rm0:
Delete ts-calibration file from your SD card and boot Android.

You can't remove SD card while running Android but you should be able to do it in Windows Mobile w/o any problems.

Some cards are known not to work with Android (many of the Class 6 8GB models).

Press and hold power button? If that doesn't work just reset the device or pull out the battery.
[Touch HD Android Development] FashizzleDizzl:
SD not recognized

Hi,

first of all thanks for your work. I hated my phone with WM and love it now with Android :D

But unfortunately it does not recognize my SD-Card. While being in Windows Mobile there is no problem with the card; I can start Android normally and everything works fine except that I cannot use my card.

I already red the question in the FAQ

I tried the second one, but it does not work. Want to avoid formatting my card, because then I have to set up the whole Android System (tel numbers, programms, games;...). But if it is the only solution (or if anybody knows that it could help), I will do it ;)

Does anyone know what's the problem?

Edit: I finally format the card without losing my contacts etc. Now the card is recognized. Thanks anyway

[Touch HD Android Development] vladikius:
Hello!

Can you tell how can I increase the speed of reply my USB on Android when it`s just connecting?

This problem doesn't allow me to use HD as jailbreak as has long delay period. As a rule Android answering delay at connection USB makes 6-8 seconds, and 1-3 seconds are very rare. Tried to deal with unnecessary processes using ATK and put different Androids but the USB still slow (

Intuitively, the situation can be observed when connecting device to the power.

what can you advise? or is it a bad feature of the USB-controller in Blackstone

Thanx any way.
[Touch HD Android Development] fetterchefkoch:
It's the same with me. I can't seem to turn down the in-call volume. Is there any solution for this problem already or did I just miss the answer to the question?

Sorry, but I'm not really getting what you want to tell me. So you're saying I can connect the phone in WM to my laptop, is that it? So the android data on my phone is on the SD card. Is that correct? I hope I'm not mixing anything now.
[Touch HD Android Development] Eodun:
If you have a phone with a removable sd card, you can't take it out while running android. Shut down, remove and use it, or reboot to WM and take it out there.

SD must be in the phone whenever you want to use/are using XDandroid.
[Touch HD Android Development] farukb:
until devs provide us with NAND roms
[Touch HD Android Development] Eodun:
@farukb: Ofc, I think we all have that assumed.

Another thing: Anyone knows why my charging/HW kb leds don't work for debug as intended? Is that happening in all blackstones? Do I have to activate an option?

Now when I start Haret with charging led off, it stays off, if launch it charging, it stays orange whatever I do.

thanks.

Edit: Oh, and btw, goggles says kernel doesn't have ipv6 support, is that normal?
[Touch HD Android Development] farukb:
goggles need ipv6 support and i believe that xdandroid doesn't have it, go to rhodium section, there is a 1.23.2011. froyo x release that supports ipv6,so you can try it out (you probably know how to have multiple android builds on same card,if not,just ask...nevermind,here you go :http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/tp2-andro...-cam-sense-x-2011-01-12-a-50.html#post2035413)

led light doesn't work at all for me,and once when i ran haret whle charging it stayed on even when i plugged out the cable.

blackstone doesn't have HW kbd,and if you mean these four buttons on the lower part of the front,they don't have leds behind them,at all...
[Touch HD Android Development] Eodun:
Thank you, I see you have the same behaviour. Strange that LED controllers appear in system for Blackstone, but looking closely they are painted in silver, not transparent lol

Edit: I have this device since the beginning of Jan and never paid attention to leds, was used to Diamond 1-always-blinking-buttons ;)
[Touch HD Android Development] g3rm0:
We need kernel (and maybe userland) fix for power led. It's on my TODO list since forever, but I can't find enough time to look into it. I hope it will happen sometime this year ;-)
[Touch HD Android Development] Eodun:
Well, you can put it the last in your list. There are LOTS of more important things before ;)

For example, IpV6 support if it's true that IpV4 will last until June XD

Edit: If only I could get the developer environment to play with code, perhaps I could help with some bits... better not, I'm more helpful without being in the middle lol
[Touch HD Android Development] g3rm0:
There are tons of stuff that needs to be fixed to be honest. I would love to do it, but most of this is way out of my league :-) Good thing there's still a few guys out there with proper skills and they're working hard. We all should thank them.
[Touch HD Android Development] Eodun:
Does anyone know if XDAndroid supports SWAP partition?

BTW, seems that the system is prepared for IpV6, it's just that the kernel isn't compiled with that option. It should be a matter of adding it later.

[Touch HD Android Development] Eodun:
Update about IPV6:

Adding "modprobe ipv6" to froyo.user.conf makes the trick (in the last section, shell commands, where you put the "bind" statements). Google goggles no longer whines about it. A pity that the camera still doesn't support autofocus outside Camera app :)

EDIT: It doesn't boot up when I put the sim card in, bunch of fat read io errors :(
[Touch HD Android Development] patrickvh:
Yes indeed you can.

It is called tether or tethering, using the GPRS/UMTS radio to supply Internet for Wifi or USB.

In your case, USB uses, search the Android Market for (many free) USB Tethering.

I have not used myself but the replies are positive so it should work fine.

If you have wifi on your desktop or laptop I think you will prefer using it wireless.

Then search for wifi tethering.

One note though, here in Holland (The Netherlands) some telecom providers has policies regarding Internet traffic with (huge) tether traffic.

That means you eather get a big bill or your Internet (for phone) will not be available.

When an Android phone goes to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com it is pretty clear for a telecom provider the traffic is tethering.

I do not know how and if they scan for other traffic.

waitingfor sd car-fix-calibration-animation(...)-restart-waiting for sd card again...

Guys,

I really need a help. I've been trying to put android on my Touch HD for two days and, after a lot of errors and reading all the 32 pages of this topic, there was the following happenings:

1- after the stardard procedure, the "waiting for sd card" message appeared

2-I've done what the first post said

3- passed by the calibration screen and reached the XDANDROID animation, where the phone stick for more than two hours

4- I took off the battery, put again and started the HD

5- I initiated again the android by the icon. the phone restarted and the "saiting for sd card" message appeared again.

Someone can help me saying what I've done wrong?

I'd really appreciate that and, in advance, I put myself able to test something that you may need...

Thanks in advance too,,
[Touch HD Android Development] Eodun:
1.- Backup everything in sdcard

2.- Format it with HP usb format tool, full format

3.- Restore contents of sdcard

4.- Rename or delete data.img in andboot folder

If that doesn't work, use another sdcard :(
[Touch HD Android Development] gustavogibb:
Eodun

Thank you for the advices...

I'll try it now and I'll tell if works.

Again, thanks for the attention!!!

Edit1:

I tried to do what you said on two different cards. Now I could see the Droid interface and even navigate among it (the touch was inverted, but it's still a progress). But now, when I restarted HD and entered on the Android, the chasing message came again "waiting for sd card"...

It happens every time I re-install Android, come back to WinMo and start Android again...( I could fix the calibration issue using the ts_calibration.txt found around here...thks, people!)

Do you have any idea about what that could be?
[Touch HD Android Development] Eodun:
Not really... hadn't seen that error for some time. I though it was now only because of a faulty/old sdcard, but no idea.
[Touch HD Android Development] gustavogibb:
Hi there..

Hi there,

First of all, I'd like to thank Eogun for his help and attention about my case. It's very cool to think about a problem with someone else, even if we get no progress... Thank you very much, Eogun!!

Since the last time I wrote here, the situation remains basicaly the same. But now I found a different issue when I use one out of the two sd cards that I have (class 2).

When I format the sd (fat32) and put the Android's files inside, android works very well, so well that the GPS works pretty normally and fastly using the Google Navigator (I tested it while on the bus going work) (I don't know how it happens, but it just happens...lol). But when I restart the phone, that boring message (waiting for sd card) comes again. If I rename or delete the "data.img" file, the system comes up again, but it remains only until the next restart, when "waiting for sd card" shows itself again. I tried to edit the "startup.txt" file entering the line indicated on the first post, but it apparently doesn't produce any difference to the final result on my phone.

I tried to instal the CAB file instead of the un-ziped files, but it doesn't helped at all...

Is there something that I may be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for the attention!
[Touch HD Android Development] Eodun:
Hm,perhaps you're using an old build. Try to use Froyo, in this thread I tried to resume the options.

(I should REALLY make that updated thread :p)
[Touch HD Android Development] gustavogibb:
Eodun,

Thanks again for regarding my problem...

I've just put the build that you told me on my phone, but the problem remains... I'm starting to think that the problem is that "piece" that uses the phone...lol...

No progress yet...

I'll keep trying on that build the lot of thing that I did with the former one...

thanks for everything!!!
[Touch HD Android Development] meltwater:
Hi Guys,

Does anyone know of a good guide which explains what each part of an Android build consists of. I'm trying to learn how these things fit together:

i.e.

froyo x ginger blackstone contains the following:

DIRS

AndroidApps - ok I understand this one!

conf

files - contains both APK apps, modules gz files and zImage files (I guess get copied to the storage space for use

media - audio & images for themes etc

FILES

haret.exe - bootloader app

STARTUP.TXT - start up script (device specific)

ts-calibration - calibration file for screen setup (can be removed to trigger recal)

initrd.gz

modules-2.6.27.46-01276-g6a6a1c1.tar.gz - contains a series of KO files (which are?)

rootfs.img

system.ext2 - as far as I can this is the top level of android (i.e. the build), with the lower level bits handled by the other files

zImage

No doubt this info is somewhere but there are a lot of places it could be.

I'll keep looking and post what I find:

[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Don't pull the battery if you can avoid it. Soft reset is probably better than yanking the battery.

But the issue is really unavoidable on SD card builds - we can't properly unmount the SD card, especially if you just pull the battery - so of course there's going to be corruption.
