This is a great site, but us noobs are treated like...you know, noobs. lol

Noobs must be patient and see how it unfolds. Stay active reading the forums and keep noob questions to a minimum. Good thing is these guys have a sense of humor so my current approach won't offend anyone, at least my experience. I support these guys. Unfortunately, they have to deal with noobs every now and then. I've been interested in learning more about code simply because of the Android movement, time and life has made it a slow process.

I can't wait till these guys get Android over to TMOUS. I believe these system files may be the first step.

HEY DEVS! Entertain a noob question for a moment.

Some times you gotta yell ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] CasualStarlord:
This will be fantastic for Android on the HD2 I believe, exciting times :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] snuphy:
Devs gotta eat too

The first step is getting linux installed and working with all the drivers for the device (radio/video etc..) once that's working properly devs can start the android tackle. These drivers don't exist for this hardware so it's a rather long process of developing customer drivers for linux.

From what I've been reading there's some decent progress in this but there's no step by step process to making this happen. The best thing you can do is wait and donate to the devs working on this project. They gotta eat too :p

root and recovery im looking safe way to do so

can anyone link me to a place where i can get a safe root and recovery, I have bricked three htc evo v 4g in just two weeks. IM used to samsung and there much easer to root and put recovery on htc is very different to say the least but love the phone
[EVO 4G Android Development] lreyes:
Are you really bumping a really old thread for another Phone!? :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sleepycloud:
I'm bumping this dust bunny because I need to see the entire file system. I used some awkward zip's made for another phone, and i believe it slightly jacked up my internal file system. If anyone actually reads this, please tell me where I can find a current file system that outlines what the OEM file system looks like. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chrisstl:
Couldn't you download a stock EVO ROM, or one of the Sense 1.0 ROMs, and just open up the zip?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sleepycloud:
No. The problem isn't anything to do with a ROM. I used a MIUI ROM and made some changes to the vold.fstab file, and then used an ext4 wipe that was designed for another phone. Don't ask... Lol.... My internal folders are messed up. I've tried loading a stock ROM, but it didn't correct anything. As it stands, I think I am missing a whole subfolder in my /mnt/ folder. Something is going on with my phone. At first a2sd wasn't working on any ROM. Now, they work, but it's not sending my data or cache to ext4, instead it is going to fat32. The script that I put in was for the MIUI ROM and it had some issues with only recognizing an 8GB sdcard. The vold.fstab fix didn't work, and when the ROM was fixed with 40ad2sdx, it didn't work for me because my system files are slightly off. One of the things that may be wrong is the ext.4 Script was for another phone. I could say more, but it would cause an argument elsewhere. Anyways... part of what that wipe did was reset the folders, so it reset mine to something other than OEM Evo 4g. The ext4 wipe was for a galaxy S2.

You have any useful info? MY idea now is to flash a stock ROM and delete my recover so that it won't block the sprint update from happening and then reroot my phone once it's updated. I know the folders will be right then, RIGHT??? lol HELP ME!!!! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] chrisstl:
Wow man, you've got some problems lol. I'm afraid this is a bit over my head! But reverting completely back to stock and starting over sounds like a decent place to start...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sleepycloud:
Do you know what folder the smelkus recovery is stored in? I"m going to delete it so I can flash a sprint update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] debarron:
Recovery is not stored in a folder, it's a separate partition like /system and /data are. You have to have a stock recovery image to flash in order to revert which you should be able to do using fastboot. I don't have the OG anymore so I'm not sure what's available, but you might be best off running a RUU to get back to completely stock (it will also install the stock recovery).
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sleepycloud:
Thanks man. I'm gonna do that today. I'm tired of messing with it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] luckyvictor:
I am a newbie to WinMo and Android devices.

I know it is possible to run Android on HTC window mobile pre-installed device, with the matter of the non-working camera.

I wanna know actually what is process/method which can makes Android possibly runs on HTC diamond, and does it mean once we have this boot system, we can boot any Android even the latest 2.2 Froyo?

All I want is to get some knowledge which can help me to step into this area, I love software engineering and find that this forum is the one which most positive users come, so hopefully I can start building sth from sketch in here.

Many thanks in advance, and thanks for the patiences and the kindness of knowledge sharing.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] damien2702:
Hi, as you said, it is currently possible to boot an Android system from a WinMo one. But they are some issues left, mainly the battery life. Indeed, battery drains pretty fast with Android (and the indicator is not accurate at all).

Concerning Froyo (2.2), I ran many android systems on my Diamond 100, and Eclair versions (2.1) are really very slow, that is why I am currently using a Donut version (1.6), which is pretty fast and stable. So I'm not sure the Diamond will be able to run smoothly Froyo.

Last thing: today, the only way to have a working Android is to boot on WinMo and then launch a program (Haret) which will "kill" WinMo and boot to Android from internal storage (or SD card for other devices). There is currently no way of flashing an Android as you can do with WinMo.

Hope we'll get asap a fully working Android for our WinMo's HTCs :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] helicopter88:
instead i think that froyo will run well...because yesterday i saw some benchmark over the nexus one and the preformance were multiplyied by 2...and i saw the internet browsing benchmark and was the fastest browser i saw
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] damien2702:
So let's hope you are right about Froyo =)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] helicopter88:
i hope it too..i love android...i'm waiting for froyo and for a flashable android...i don't like a lot wm
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] damien2702:
And so do I ^^ I recently tried the Desire with Android 2.1, and I'll certainly buy one when I'll change my Diamond =)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I guess you are the one trying to cook a Sense XDAndroid ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] helicopter88:
i was trying but i was having porblem using ubuntu(no ethernet,no wireless and some other things) so when i will resolve those problem i will start
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] luckyvictor:
so haret in fact is a simulator?? just to provide a simulated environment to run Android?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] damien2702:
If I'm right, Haret isn't a simulator. It is a program which, launched under WinMo, will kill all WinMo processes and boot on internal storage with Android files. Have you ever tried it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Loc-Deu:
if you want to try it the easy way:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5420781#post5420781

there is an cab to download, just install it

than you can run android

bewhare, android uses a huge amount of internetactivity ( maybe it costs money with your telephon provider )

or just for testing remove the sim card...

its the easy way to run android, for multiboot

you need to install a multibootmanager on your phone

for me there are some problems with android on the diamond,

i get sometimes time outs of some programs, but its possible to use it... and test it...

maybe some thing in settings but i tryed it only for some hours ( telephonprovier... i got only 300 minutes of mobile internet connection for free :( )

but remember, back up your data...

Hy,

i search for a long time for the Taskmanager Icon at the homescreen. This Icon in the right up corner. I'll not found it. When i install the Taskmanager Showcase it changes this Icon. Also, it can changed. Where is this Icon. Does anybody know where is it?

Please tell...

Thanks very much and sorry for my bad english.

I'm German... :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] stevedebi:
The english is fine, better than my Deutsch!

It depends on your ROM version. The stock ROM has an HTC icon, sort of a downwards arrow, that shows up only on the Today screen. It is controlled by the stock WM task manager icon in the Settings / System screen. Hope this helps.

BTW, I use Arkswitch, and it is really nice - although it is not really optimum of you are using WM 6.5. It works best on WM 6.5.x.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Raschid99:
Hmm?

Thanks, it helps me a bit.

What do you mean whit controlled by WM Tm in Settings? Must i look in files for this manager? I've thinked its in a dll, or maybe in Png file. I've found one png but after i changed it nothing happens. For what do you use Arkswitch? and i use a EPS Rom whit 6.5. We talk from the same Icon? These three ugly white Stripes whit an littel arow up or downwards.

Sorry and thanks again

j
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] stevedebi:
My Energy ROM does not have the default WM Task Manager in the Settings / System area, so I cannot use the icon of which you are speaking.

Arkswitch is a task switcher. It sets up an area of the screen that you touch to control the tasks. On the WM 6.5.x, the start menu is on the bottom left. On the earlier versions, the start button is on the upper left, which makes Arkswitch a bit more difficult - the activation area defaults to the upper left area of the task bar.

Yes, that is the icon indicator that HTC puts up on the home page only. If clicked, it shows all running programs, plus has three icons at the top, I don't recall what they do - one of them was battery, I think. If your version of WM supports it, you can control it via the Settings / System / Task Manager icon - assuming that the program you installed did not change this icon in some fashion.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] thebigrhinoone:
I am not to sure what your asking for but here is a cab that will install that task manager. Install to your device and then soft reset. It will put that task manager with that icon in the upper right corner. I hope this helps you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] WeT-Klb:
Hi,

i guess he simply don´t like that icon for the taskmanger. It seems all he want to do is to exchange that icon with a more suitable icon.

And because he don´t know where the picture information is stored (maybe in a dll-file or an exe.file) he asks for help.

Yours

[XPERIA X10 General] mark28:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/android-gingerbread-is-planned-for-q4-2010/ I wasn't really in a rush for root I cared more about that update so battery can get better, but if this is true I'll be a little sad because by this point will get 2.1 MAYBE 2.2 and sony Would still be behind. I'm still not in a big rush for root I just hope in the next couple of months someone cracks that sucker.
[XPERIA X10 General] arcticreaver:
the biggest problem with android right now i think is that there is too many different builds of a single OS. google or phone manufacturers needs to make a stand alone OS that can be modified by end users or have phone manufacturers provide exclusive apps that modify the OS but only as an add-on type mod. i mean, take a look at X10's UI, where is the MAJOR difference? timescape and mediascape are both basically apps. if they were somehow integrated and is one with the UI, then i would see a point of SE customizing the UI. but it ain't!

which is why i think the nexus one is going to be a killer phone in the up coming months. it will rape any phone out there because it's OS straight from google, no modifications, and it's going to get all the goodies. Q4 for 2.1? by that time there will probably be a 2.3 or 2.4 officially announced for N1.

when i get the money, i'm going to get a nexus one. okay so the camera on that phone ain't all that. but the OS will obliterate the X10 for sure and i think i can live with 2nd grade pictures when i play hulu and watch live streaming shows with my phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] Nocturnal310:
depends on user needs

i wanted a great camera but great looks...and great touch response.

for me 1.6 is much better than windows mobile or other phones out there...it gets the work done...so i am happy.

would be happier with 2.1.

but if a guy wants to have the latest OS on his phone and compromise on other factors..then X10 is a bad choice.
[XPERIA X10 General] arcticreaver:
Right but if n1 and x10 went toe to toe it'd be a tko. X10 may have better hardware specs but with no software solutions it can't compete in the long run.

[XPERIA X10 General] pakraider:
sadly, that's so true. I love the X10 for all it is, but it just isn't future proof. I would feel VERY comfortable with a N1 since it's going to have stellar support. With the X10, I could be stuck with 2.1 / maybe 2.2 forever while the Android world moves on.

a root of course would change everything and make go with the X10.

and Google is shuttting down it's webstore, and the Nexus One pricing elsewhere is in the $600+ range, versus $529 from Google.. so time is of the essence.. blah.

i hope google comes out with a nexus 2 because i'm DEFINITELY getting my hands on that.
