I'm waiting for a nice stable almost full port of Android as WinMo is killing my ageing Touch HD....it scrolls slowly, it's camera takes an age...Android is definitely a way forward and I'm hoping these ports can help.

KUTGW :)
[Touch HD Android Development] Dynamic_d:
Yes I totally agree this build rocks and in my eyes the best from all android projects,

Been with eclair and donut...and well they were fine but this one is by far the best and my fave and if you dont thinks so then dont download :)

It rules and klinux well take ur time buddy.

U just stepped in the door with this build and u have my respect big time.

And by take ur time i mean dont take too much time haha :)You know what I mean.

If the small bugs like 3g and wifi are fixed then thats enuff to hold any till

majour stuff like battery life and gps and sound through headphones on blackstone are fixed.

Again VERY and mean VERY good job.

I think from now on people need to keep they eyes on this project.

Cheers

Hi!

theres a way to invert power button and end key behaviour to have the power button turning off backlight and the end key showing the screens template?

thx!
[Touch HD Android Development] chaelli:
usable on diamond?

@lovefromsky: you wrote about good stability and speed on the diamond.. which package do you use? I have one without sense but I cannot even take a call... It would be just great if it worked for daily usage!

btw. I tried the package from the 14/3 - it loads, works but there is no sense interface at all visible... ist hits normal? pixel density is 210....
[Touch HD Android Development] nightrave:
Have the ripped package with new zImage. Everything is running pretty smooth on my HD but when I've an incoming call, and the screen is turned off, the damned com.android.phone is crashing after a couple of rings. No idea how to solve it. And the funny thing is - when I get the an incoming call the first time, the phone has no problems at all. I can either accept or block it, I can mute it, everything is fine. But if I get ONE MORE call after that, THEN it crashes. Sometimes only the com.android.phone, sometimes the whole phone freezes. Have no idea whether it's when I get the second call from one and the same number, or from two different ones. Call it magic, but I've checked it four times.
[Touch HD Android Development] cbrendelson:
Is there a version with out Sense UI? I dont want it.
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
erm, see the main threads... there's a few versions for you to choose...
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
7 seems to be as many as you can really hope for... anything more than that will really start eating into memory.. don't forget, Sense was 'Scenes' which partly help to overcome that... ie. "work", "play", "holiday" etc with different widget layouts / backgrounds etc.
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
I would not say it's one of the best.... too many missing features....

BUT, I would say it's a step in the right direction to being the most sought after (due to sense UI / HTC Widgets).

There are a number of better builds out there (better, in that they work with data, use less memory, faster, and more stable)... but this is the one to watch as soon as it catches up the other non-sense UI builds.

However, much of Sense UI is replicated in other widgets for the standard Android UI, so the mad craze for Sense is a little over the top... I mean the clocks are all available elsewhere (including flip clock and weather), the calender and facebook stuff is also 'mimicked' elsewhere. So it's quite possible to get a convincing lookalike without too much effort.

But, there's nothing like the 'real thing' and that's where this build comes into its own. For those that insist on Sense, this build looks to be a great bet for the future, and I'm sure the current issues will soon be resolved.

In my opinion, this current build is great to play with, but not quite ready for day to day usage.... I can't wait until it is!
[Touch HD Android Development] mikeallison:
I'd say klinux's ripped release is the best non-sense release. I use it as my everyday over xdandroid. The sense release isn't there yet, but it's well underway.
[Touch HD Android Development] rujelus22:
I am trying to mess with squashfs just to play with it. I have unsquash and try and resquash but every time I try and boot android it stops at

mount: mounting /dev/block/loop1 on /system failed: Invalid argument

Failed

Failed to mount /system

/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

/#

I know it has something to do with my system.sqsh file because it boot fine with the default one. I have not changed anything yet in there just trying to unsquash and re squash. I am using Ubuntu if it makes a difference.

These are the commands I've been using. Got them from another site.

sudo unsquashfs system.sqsh

#make your changes......then (I am not changing anything yet)

sudo mv squashfs-root system

sudo genext2fs -d system -b 180000 system.ext2

mkdir ext2mount

Sudo mount-o loop system.ext2 ext2mount

sudo mksquashfs ext2mount system.sqsh
[Touch HD Android Development] bheremans:
I realy like htc sense :-) Before I already played with android 2.0.1, it's realy fast and stability is good. Only issue for me is the gps not working, and the little problem with the battery, altough my battery is also at 20% in wm6.1 every evening (data connection and pushmail always on).

Why can't htc make a phone, as small as the diamind 100, with the screen and resolution of a htc topaz (800x480), better batry and android ! :D I realy don't like the big phones like HD2 or htc nexus ...
[Touch HD Android Development] klinux:
that mean that u will push power button to end calls ! :D

it's on zimage so u should ask phhusson (even if I know already the answer )
[Touch HD Android Development] davidebeatrice:
i use the on screen end key to end calls...

so it will be cool to have inverted behaviour for power and end key button (at least for me...;)).

btw...isnt a big issue...I can live with the present behaviour...;)
[Touch HD Android Development] helicopter88:
has some one tried with the zImages from here http://balsat.hopto.org/

they are faster than the Glemson's ones because they haven't got the debugger
[Touch HD Android Development] lovefromsky:
Hi

Hi Yes, I used it on my diamond, with Sense and without sense UI. Only difference is with sense it will load every time u come back to home screen and that means u have to keep waiting. By removing sense the speed improves much.

Here are specs:

package_sense_hero_rosie_140310

Zimage: zImage.20100320_225430

Latest rootfs: 31st March

market dont work, data works, google sync works (config ur gmail as exch. ysnc) yahoo mail works, in-out calls works, music works, headphone works, battery behaved much better didnt charged again in full day with normal usage

Regarding calls I do following:

Incoming: Make sure you call to ur android phone 2-3 times successively and see the difference in time it takes to display incoming calls ( for me it becomes perfectly instant after making 3 calls, even when its in sleep mode)

Similarly make 2-3 outgoing calls successively.

do above before start using phone for normal usage and calls works perfect, atleast for me :) let me know your xperience
[Touch HD Android Development] lovefromsky:
To disable sense:

Go to settings-> Applications-> select HTC Sense-> clear defaults and when you come back to home it will ask your Home/Sense, select home thats it
[Touch HD Android Development] iceman198:
Just downloaded the latest (linux-msm.201004012241.tar.gz) and it does seem to be a bit smoother. I'm currently running XDAndroid...waiting for rosie to have data. (topaz)

Thanks for the tip!
[Touch HD Android Development] leonore:
was with me also in such a way

Thanks a lot
[Touch HD Android Development] DanBergundy:
I wish the key setup was like WinMo on the Touch Pro, I don't like the end call button also putting it to sleep.
[Touch HD Android Development] g3rm0:
You're sure about -b 180000 switch? I had more luck on Windows 7 (totally different commands) but block size was set to 65635 and file system was set to little endian. Hope that helps.
[Touch HD Android Development] klinux:
Just mksquashfs system/ system.sqsh do the job make sure u use version under 3.4 not 4 ubuntu 9.10 uses 4 it's not compatible

Cheers
[Touch HD Android Development] R^7Z:
What about this one?
[Touch HD Android Development] sentinel79:
I'm with you on that. At least with the Topaz I feel like going out of my way to hit the top button makes more sense for the times when I'm ready to put it to sleep and in my pocket ... whereas returning "home" is a more common task and would make more sense to be in reach for one-handed operation ... so I WISH end key would no longer put the phone to sleep.
[Touch HD Android Development] shadowline:
While it does make more sense to have it that way, can you point me to any android device with a separate end key than the end/power that it works like now? So far i have only seen androids with the current functionality we have (end/power on the same key.) Which is why it is hard to code it to not power off that way. Though I am only speaking what was said before, and not by personal experience with the kernel/userland. (never really looked much further into it.)
[Touch HD Android Development] rujelus22:
I got it to work it was the 4 that Ubuntu had installed I install the mksqush 3 and it worked great thanks
[Touch HD Android Development] mikeallison:
you're using the latest sqsh release. Android uses the last one... I think v3
[Touch HD Android Development] Tracer987:
Hi

I have problem on my Diamond, why there is no htc widgets ? ex clock with weather, also there's no htc widgets to choice only android staff. Anyone knows how to fix this ?

I am using rosie package 29/03/2010 HTC SENSE SIZED with REV B.sqsh.
[Touch HD Android Development] chaelli:
@lovefromsky: thx a lot! to do some calls before the "real" calls are coming helps quite a bit - a bit closer to the wished usability! and up goes the hope for a usable android on the diamond
[Touch HD Android Development] Claus72:
Is there any Android version with external speaker working for Topaz?
[Touch HD Android Development] phhusson:
I think it works on all android versions.
[Touch HD Android Development] Claus72:
I have tried some version but all with no sound in the external speaker.
[Touch HD Android Development] Maikeu Locatelli:
you can use the .ext2, dont is needed make the squashfs, it's is only a compression. and you can use any tam, 180000 sometimes dont fit with sense ui, then use 200000 or bigger
[Touch HD Android Development] Maikeu Locatelli:
he wants to say that all builds have external speaker working, because the problem is in the kernel.
[Touch HD Android Development] phhusson:
No, speaker really works...

I had some hard time to code it on rhodium, but on topaz it seems there is nothing to do ...

Well someone stated it's not as loud as on winmo, so maybe we're lacking some gpio stuff, but that's it.
[Touch HD Android Development] DanBergundy:
Works just fine for me.
[Touch HD Android Development] Claus72:
Have you a Topaz?
[Touch HD Android Development] Maxim726X:
Should I even try running this on my Omnia?

Has it been tried before?
[Touch HD Android Development] samsanchez88:
I don't think it can do any damage but i am sure it won't work!!

Sorry!
[Touch HD Android Development] R^7Z:
Stupid Question time

Have you tried changing the "Default End button behavior" under "Spare Parts" ?
[Touch HD Android Development] timeworm:
Very strange but i cant connect wifi anf when i go to settings wifi-networks and try to open config i got an error force app close.. Why its happned?
[Touch HD Android Development] samsanchez88:
It's normal at this point, klinux is working on it!!!!!!
[Touch HD Android Development] Maxim726X:
Well, thanks for the reply...

Guess I should go back to an HTC device, eh?
[Touch HD Android Development] timeworm:
its works slow and battery runing out in 45min u cant use it day by day its only to check what the android is.. Thx anyway if u want android on your phone better to buy one with android on board... Is there is any version of android port that can be used everyday as second os ?????
[Touch HD Android Development] R^7Z:
No thanks... I much rather use winMo instead :rolleyes:

Haha!

Actually, last time I checked the time on my Eclair build it was right around 8 - 10 hours of run time... Plenty enough for me ;) I can also say that if need be, I can use my spare portable charger... :D
[Touch HD Android Development] timeworm:
G1 is a chepest adroid phone on the market now and u can run hero rom on it i seen video on youtube g1 with hero rom it works very nice fast and stable..
[Touch HD Android Development] phhusson:
And eats all of the remaning memory so you can't run any other app.
[Touch HD Android Development] N!ghty:
well, it is possible go get into wifi options if u create a shortcut on a home screen.

but its useless because wifi still wouldnt turn on, neither with energy manager widget (which leaves the question open y it works on setup - it found my network but couldnt connect)

hope ull find the time soon, keep up the great work - thank u!
[Touch HD Android Development] timeworm:

this is my cab release... based on the work of the great build releasers here... it works just fine, but doesn't have Sense UI.

I am looking forward to klinux's update to get more features working on his release, then I'll start packaging his release in cab format to help the newer users.

Thanks for pointing folks to the source of this cab!

Data over GPRS/3G

Forgive me if I have missed something, I have read all the posts and it's not clear if data over GPRS / 3G is working on these newer HTC Sense releases.

I know there is an issue with WiFi not obtaining an IP address and klinux is working on this but, is GPRS / 3G working ?
[Touch HD Android Development] klinux:
not yet it's now 1st on my todo list

it's ignoying for me too :)

cheers

Klinux
[Touch HD Android Development] sp00ge:
Hey no pressure intended, i'm not sure if it's of any use but i've noticed

that 3G/GPRS is actually working. Android just doesn't seem to have DNS configured.

Where can we configure DNS in Android ?

I thought with it being linux based, just adding DNS servers to /etc/resolv.conf would do the trick.
[Touch HD Android Development] sp00ge:
I've noticed that WiFi does work if you configure a static IP and static DNS.

It seems as if DHCP is playing up, perhaps related to the lack of DNS after getting an IP lease from the cellular network ?

Happy Birthday man!! and thanks a bunch, i cant wait to load it up and try it out
[Touch HD Android Development] NoMercyWWE:
In my case the new sqsh. loops htc screen - hero screen - htc screen - an endless loop. That is not normal is it?

Problem occurs since i changed the system.sqsh to the latest, can anyone confirm that?

btw : Happy Birthday Klinux!
[Touch HD Android Development] fastrat350:
I had that problem also, tried the different rootfs and it kept looping. but i just replaced the rootfs with the latest from rootfs autobuildsite and im going through setup but im fully setup yet, getting an error or sumthing, just waiting till it loads up completely

edit:

I got it loaded up with a different rootfs but im getting the settings FC, and thus doesnt allow me to get into settings for wireless networks. Did replacing the rootfs to make it boot cause this?
[Touch HD Android Development] NoMercyWWE:
fastrat350 does gprs connection work now?

which modules do you use?
[Touch HD Android Development] NoMercyWWE:
whatever i do it keeps looping
[Touch HD Android Development] fastrat350:
well i replaced the rootfs from the package and it booted up fine but im getting the settings FC's, i have cdma ralph on sprint so i need to get into wireless settings. gonna erase my sd card and restart again, maybe third time around It'll all work
[Touch HD Android Development] FreeMan42:
Happy B'day Klinux!!!
[Touch HD Android Development] NoMercyWWE:
ok the bug definately exists in system.sqsh. I replaced it with the one before (with settings fix) which works fine - but data connections obviously doesnt work there
[Touch HD Android Development] samsanchez88:
I cannot get the latest build to go past the htc-hero screens loop.....

I am running the latest build, with the latest z-image and i have tried the following rootfs:

-the original one

-the "use if problems with boot"

-the latest rootfs from autobuild

None get past the loop.

I'm on a blackstone

Great to see this moving so fast!!!

Hi, Did anybody tried with removing androidapps folder and booting, in one of last build that did help, for Diamond its not working, but good to check for other devices
[Touch HD Android Development] fr_krg:
After two hours I somehow managed to get it working on my DIAM100. But it is choppy, sense sometimes restarts and I can't connect to my WPA2 secured wifi. Anyway, keep up the good work.

Happy birthday KLinux!
[Touch HD Android Development] lovefromsky:
@fr_krg, wow thats great, how did you got it working, pls share
[Touch HD Android Development] fr_krg:
Well, I downloaded "rosie package 29/03/2010 HTC SENSE SIZED", then I think (:D) I downloaded "UPDATE 04/04/2010 fix of settings force close", overwrite it, put there the right startup.txt, downloaded this zImage and voila, it booted. But I was stuck on the green htc logo on white background. After a while, I somehow managed to get to the HTC setup. It kept closing and returning me back to the white background, so I was pushing back and home buttons and always got back to the setup. Finally after half an hour I managed to get to the home screen.

But like I said, I can't connect to wifi and Sense keeps restarting and is choppy. The rest of the system looks to be working fine. I think that the problem is not working 3D acceleration. You should try it for testing purposes only!
[Touch HD Android Development] lovefromsky:
@fr_krg Oh, you meant 04/04/2010, What we are discussing is about 05/04/2010 build which fixed 3G/data connection. The screen we are looping in is which comes during booting and not after boot and lock screen.

Thanks for sharing your views though and for htc logo with white background use the backup.rar put it in root of SD card and you should be fine.
[Touch HD Android Development] fr_krg:
I tried 05/04/2010 build, but I was stuck on hero/htc boot screen.
