[Touch HD Android Development] raistlin74:
can download and installa every app but google's ones.

Install failed!!!

Can someone help?
[Touch HD Android Development] raistlin74:
How can you check 3d?
[Touch HD Android Development] t0asted:
generally when you see the boot animation the 3d is working, but another way to confirm is by install a benchmark program and run the 3d test, eg quandrant advance.

Please Build an Installer

I think a lot of people would like to be able to install this android distribution with a simple WM installer. In my case I know exactly how to do all the steps but I simply don't want to spend my time in the process to just play a bit with the phone.
[Touch HD Android Development] tigernight:
Hi

I couldn`t run any of the animated wallpapers that found in the market ! anyone got the same problem ?
[Touch HD Android Development] accountabc:
downloading the 16-9 version now, will report back :).

edit: it worked for me on first boot, but then it started using the data connection while setting up the phone so i pulled out the battery. after that it didn't get past the boot animation anymore
[Touch HD Android Development] mmimlav:
I agree with that. An installer could be very usefull :)
[Touch HD Android Development] accountabc:
I don't think it is possible to have an installer, since you have to partition your SD card. That's something you will have to do yourself. After that installing a new release is a 1 click install ;)
[Touch HD Android Development] LeeYaoSan:
HTC Blackstone

I installed it with latest Balsat zImage, is fast and battery live has improved. Also it not overheats as previous releases do, temp is quite high if I run the devide more than an hour but is acceptable, keep working ;)

I tried 3D drawins, its a bit slower but works very good in this device

For me sound desn't work, I don't know yet if it's a kernel problem, anyone with Blackstone have sound?

GMail desn't show mail content, I can see all mail headers but if I click on one of them it goes into a Loading message and returns to main page of the app

Can't play videos in youtube, it seems the video is playing but there's a black screen and no sound, well I don't have any sound so I can't tell if Youtube plays sounds

Reboot option is not working, I know it's not important but Shutdown works quite well

Gallery works but if I rotate the screen, pictures twist and aren't shown good

Bluetooth seems to work, it enables and when it turns on it finds devices and my PC detects it, but i can't send or recieve any file. If i shut down BT and on again, it doesn't work like it has to

I think this is the best android port i've tried for my Blackstone, it's very fast, desn't overheats too much, and battery live is longer. The more annoying thing is that i don't have sound, but I think it's a kernel issue IDK
[Touch HD Android Development] casefan7:
I got a blackstone as well

Now running XDAndroid with latest kernel/zImage

And sound is back!

I had no sound in Neopeek's android at all..

But I read on his own forum that tonight a CM6 final version will be uploaded (H)

I don't know what he meant when he said that 'it completely worked', but if that means we have camera and stuff. Than I'll be going crazy XD
[Touch HD Android Development] LeeYaoSan:
lol I don't think camera is going to work since it seems noone is on it, I think they mean that browser, youtube, sound, etc will work

But, if works... goodbye WinMo lol

With XDANDROID sound works quite good but, in general, xdandroid is slower than CyanogenMod so I prefer a faster ROM (even with 3d drawing enabled is quite fast, I like that)

PD: I made BT work that was my pc not the device, BT is working well
[Touch HD Android Development] tigernight:
Hi ..

I succeded in adding the live wallpaper feature and worked but the animation is some how sluggish and slows the system . so it`s better to forget about it .

another thing , I found that I could`nt change the brightness of the display (no effect after sliding the bar to either direction) . because brightness is a big player in battery consumption ...
[Touch HD Android Development] LeeYaoSan:
There's a new test release for CyanogenMod I'll test it tomorrow morning

EDIT: I've Been testing latest test release, everything is working quite good, I still haven't got sound

Battery live is longer, and battery % is showing well

Youtube app doesn't work (but we knew it already)

It detects USB charging and I can connect via USB Mass Storage and see my FAT32 SD Card Partition

Temperature is ok

Very fast build I like its performance

I can't use gallery when in USB mass storage but this is how it has to be.

With 3D drawing enabled is faster than WinMo

overall is a good froyo build I guess missing sound is a kernel issue
[Touch HD Android Development] daryld:
hi i would really like to try this build out i have done all the steps like creating the ext2 partition and the linux swap 1 but when i run the install for the 1st time i get stuck on the screen and it says 7 secs till restart and it freezes there then wen i reset and try and run haret jus it does the same thing any help would be appreciated :)
[Touch HD Android Development] LeeYaoSan:
After you run the install.exe in npkinstall folder (don't forget to rename yor_device_name.txt to startup.txt) you'll get the 7 seconds to reboot as usual, soft reset, then go to startups folder in root of your sd card, find your device folder and copy the startup.txt file that its inside to the root folder of your sd card and then run haret.exe let it be untill android main page is shown
[Touch HD Android Development] daryld:
jus to be clear the soft reset is the power button and the up and down volume buttoms right, i was changing the device name to startup.txt but wif no luck only thing iv been doin different is pulling the battery at the 7 seconds screen ill try ur soft reset method n see wat happens thanks for your reply :)
[Touch HD Android Development] LeeYaoSan:
soft reset is just like removing battery and pluging it again, the other thing is a hard reset that wipes out device memory to its defaults

have you copied startup.txt from startups folder AFTER doing install?

these are the steps:

-Make partitions on SD card, 1st partition should be fat32, second should be ext2. Ext2 partition shouldn't be bigger than 512MB (if I remember well)

-Copy files in SD card fat32 partition

-go to npkinstall folder and rename the .txt to startup.txt

-run install.exe its inside npkinstall folder

-while in 7 seconds to reboot message, do a reset, unplug and plug battery or press reset button

-go to startups folder, look for your device name folder and copy that startup.txt to the root of SD card (fat32 partition)

-run haret.exe from root of SD card

that should work :S
[Touch HD Android Development] daryld:
thanks for ur reply again i tried all of the steps again wen i started the haret for the final step i got a message saying no filesystem could mount root tried ext2 squashfs vfat and then i got the 7 seconds rebooting again :(
[Touch HD Android Development] tigernight:
I remember having this problem and I solved it by reformatting the SD card ..

check this thread to partition SD card in Windows

[Touch HD Android Development] otonbender:
ADW-Launcher settings again please!

Problems while rebooting, screen freezes
[Touch HD Android Development] Nick3d:
Still the same problem with this new release:

After do all the operations ( formatting SD, creating an EXT2 partition, move the files, run install.exe and so on ) I always end up to reboot manually after execute install.exe from the npkinstall, but the main problem is that I have the "Kernel panic" after I start Haret, and every time the "Reboot in 7 seconds" appear...I tried 10 times, but it won't "load" or install Androir properly :(

Anyone else got the same problem? how can I solve this?

Anyway I'll try to reformatting my SD cad again, I did a bit ago but I wan't able to delete my EXT2 partition with Partition Manager...

When you say that you need to format your SD card, you mean that I need to delete my EXT2 partition too, or it doesn't matter?

[Touch HD Android Development] maxym77:
hi all.

i have a problem with pairing of my BT-3030 headset device...

loop in connecting............
[Touch HD Android Development] Nick3d:
I took another SD, formatted and created an ext2 partition like the tutorial shows...

Did step by step everything, but the problem is always the same, as soon as I start install.exe, reboot and then press haret.exe I always end up having the "Reboot in 7 seconds"...

I don't know if my Blackstone is a bit *****y lately or I'm missing something, but I repeat, I did the same things on two differents SD card and the result is always the same...

Anyway thanks vatoloco for the links, hope that somehow one day I'll be able to run this Android release! :)
[Touch HD Android Development] core7x:
reboot becoz your kernel not find required ext2 filesystem for continue booting the android.

follow the instruction step by step.

example for 2GB microsd card:

1. format the card

2. open partition utilities

3. 1001MB for fat32

4. 600MB for ext2

5. 256MB for linux swap.

6. go to npkinstall, rename blackstone.txt to startup.txt

7. run install.exe and wait until installation finish

8. usually, user required manual reset.rebooting

9. power on device. go on storage card.

10. go to startup folder and choose either blackstone-normal or blackstone-overclock and copy the startup.txt inside, paste it to the root sdcard

11. run haret.exe and have fun and your android

hope this will help for noobs
[Touch HD Android Development] Nick3d:
Hold on, now what is the "256 for linux swap"? is not enough to create an ext2 partition? do I need to do something else after that?

Sorry but yeah, this is quite new to me, but about the "linux swap" I never heard about that...

Could you be more specific please?

Thanks
[Touch HD Android Development] core7x:
linux swap more like pagepool, ramdisk, pagefile or virtual memory ..

this is required between kernelspace & userspace or running application or thread inside.
[Touch HD Android Development] t0k0m0k0:
partition expert?

After some Xandroid test I have now installed this version of Android on my blackstone, but as Nick3d I do not understand the partition logic explained in this topic:

- On the windows video tutorial (which I followed), there is a fat32, then an ext2 (for which files?), a linuxswap of 64Mb and finally a nothing at the end...

- On the linux tutorial there is one fat32 and one ext2 partition and thats all

- And then some say to have a 256Mo linuxswap???

whats the logic about these partitions??? any expert here to explain me? which is the good solution?

Thanks....

Other notes about thi android version:

- as for xandroid no way to reboot without removing the battery

- a lot of errors and process are closing randomly more an more as I was using it (android.*$##£¤ is closing because blabla error...) >> impossible to have a normal use...

- some times it is simply impossible to turn on the phone, the screen stay black...

- after some reboots, all my gmail account configurations are lost... what happened???

finally: it looks very fast compared to the xandroid version, and I hope I can use it one day soon :D :D :D
[Touch HD Android Development] Franceschiello:
Now work perfectly.

I changed my sd card.

All my problem was about type of sd card.

In next days i will test all.
[Touch HD Android Development] LeeYaoSan:
Linux swap is not really needed, it's used if you enable compcache that it's recommended.

If you don't have a linux swap partition or compcache is not enabled, android creates a virtual memory to do the same as linux swap partition.

Swap partition as said, is used for pagepool, virtual memory, run threads, etc

It's not needed to have 256MB for swap, 64MB is right no need to be more

I recommend to make a linux swap partition and enable compcache because the system will be a bit faster

Also remember to have partitions in this order:

1st - FAT32

2nd - Ext2

3rd - Swap

@Nick3d: yes, delete all partitions of your SD card and make it again

Hope you understand all of this, have fun
[Touch HD Android Development] core7x:
thanx for help me explain.. play in mind but untouchable in fingers

im enjoying blac-android now !
[Touch HD Android Development] Nick3d:
Yeah, that's better, I'll try to do everything again as soon as possible, thanks :)

[Touch HD Android Development] t0k0m0k0:
Thanks for this clear explanation. I just have to check now how to enable compcache :) (but maybe it is already done by the default installation?)

I am trying again...

EDIT ok it is very simple via preference to activate compcache, thks again!
[Touch HD Android Development] rainbowsky:
thanks vatoloco !

I always use your rom, because it's speed and more space for installing software!

I use 16g:

13.8g fat32

0.9g ext2

64mb linux swap

i have a question: I want to make more space for linux ext2, i don't know this ROM can work?

This Rom run very quickly, but i find some problems:

(1) I can not use 3.5 inch headset, but i test "Android 2.2 (FroYo) On HTC [03 Sep 2010] (V1.6)", it works correctly!

(2) my buletooth headphone can not connect correctly.

(3) when i reboot o shutdown my HD, it can not works. but i use "Android 2.2 (FroYo) On HTC [03 Sep 2010] (V1.6)", it works correctly!

thanks again!
[Touch HD Android Development] Nick3d:
Seems that the missing part was the linuxswap partition, now I succesfully installed Android, is damn fast and seems that everything is working properly :D

Thanks guys, if this version is stable I think that I'm going to save 549€ that I was planning to pay for the Desire Z :D

my blackstone dont charge whit this kernel...
[Touch HD Android Development] LeeYaoSan:
When changing to a new kernel, or an old if it's better, I recommend to install again, not to just put new kernel and modules in sd card and run haret, because it crashes

I use balsat 26/09/2010 kernel and it works very good
[Touch HD Android Development] jeanfrederic:
Hmm, strange things happens sometimes.

With the last build, i'm stuck at "waiting for root device /dev/mmcblk0p2..."

I tried 3 times but it still stops there.

Any idea?

[Touch HD Android Development] daryld:
hi jeanfrederic i fixed this error by putting this command in my startup msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000 msmsdcc_nopwrsave
[Touch HD Android Development] jeanfrederic:
Thx Daryl. But i'm a bit confused by all the "how to" i can find.

Tell me if i'm wrong: i rename blackstone.txt to startup.txt onto npkinstall, then got to root/STRATUPS and copy stratup.txt from the BLACKSTONE folder and past it to the root, then launch Startup.exe, then i run root/npkinstall/INSTALL.EXE, then i run root/HARET.EXE ???

So, in wich stratup.txt do you paste the line "msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000 msmsdcc_nopwrsave"? And do i have to add this live to the one with "set cmdline "root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 init=/init rootwait rw rootdelay=3 lcd.density=240 msmts_calib=0x395.0x3c9.0x79.0x77 msmvkeyb_toggle=off msm_blackstone_pad.vibrate=1 pmem.extra=1 gsensor_axis=-2,-1,3"

boot" ?

EDIT: still doesn't work. Maybe my µSD 8Gb class 6...?
[Touch HD Android Development] daryld:
i put that command line on the startup file thats in the root of of ur memory card not the 1 thats in the npkinstall folder can i also suggest you try camros latest kernel as i put that command line in and changed my kernels at the same time so it was 1 of the 2 of them that got it goin for me hope this helps
[Touch HD Android Development] htmotor:
sorry I can't download version Neopeek's with link "Download latest release" help

me.
[Touch HD Android Development] LeeYaoSan:
you're doing it wrong:

1st rename blackstone.txt to startup.txt in npkinstall folder

2nd run install.exe

3rd go to startups folder and copy startup.txt to memory card root

4th run haret.exe

DO NOT copy startup.txt on root BEFORE running install.exe it causes crashes
[Touch HD Android Development] Nick3d:
Finally seems that this is a usable release.

Some small issues:

- Sometimes Android itself crash, it freeze for like 4-5 seconds and then the home screen appear again

- Market doesn't work....not a big deal, I downloaded all the apps and put them into the Android app folder, so fair enough :)

- When there's an incoming call I have to press the volume button so the other person can hear me

- Various crashes ( market, keyboard, and some other small stuff ), but seems that everything is working normal after a couple of seconds.

I'm trying the latest builds, it runs fast and the battery meter is working properly, great work guys! keep going!
[Touch HD Android Development] onesolo:
Hi guys,

Is there another way to run this android port without format and make those new partitions on the sdcard?!?!?

I never got any problems using the same partition, fat32, when using other android ports, ie Xandroind etc, and I feel that this is really unnecessary. The speed was always good...

I just don't understand why they don't give the possibility for people to choose... don't understand what's the difficulty to provide the whole system in one ext2 file like xandroid does for ex...
[Touch HD Android Development] raistlin74:
If you don't like to partition your SD, just use standard XDAndroid.
[Touch HD Android Development] jeanfrederic:
Hi LeeYao.

When I run install.exe, i get "looking for sd card" 10 times, then "welcome to neopeek's..."

"can't open:..." "mounting dev/block... failed"

"starting install"

"could not determine file system size"...

"now extracting..."

"can't open /sdcard/npkinstall/androidinstall.tar.gz... No such file or directory"...

Android installed.

So then, I reboot and copy startup.txt from startups/blackstone_normal to memory card root then run Haret.

and again, i get "waiting for root device/dev/mmcbl...

Mind I let it 10 minuts waiting for his root device, but nothing comes up, so I think it is a µSD card issue, again...

Edit:tried on a se'cond card 1gb no-class, it write a lot of code but stuck at error -110 transferring data :mad:
[Touch HD Android Development] LeeYaoSan:
well I don't really know what's the source of that error but it seems it can't find your ext2 partition

I use 2gb micro sd partitioned this way:

1.3Gb fat32

512 Ext2

64Mb Linux Swap

Maybe you need to partition your sd card again, I mean, delete all partitions and start making it again
[Touch HD Android Development] ragewaar:
I have the same problem

I have the same problem as jeanfrederic.

During part one after renaming blackstone.txt to startup.txt, it cannot find the partitions I've made on my memory card (8gb).

This causes the flashing to fail, the extracting to fail (cannot find location) and then the kernel panics.

I have reformatted the memory card about six times now without any luck.

Anyone have ideas on how to get the installer to see the flash drive partitions? (Or what else I can try)

Hi, everything is smooth but I think I have a couple of issues:

- most of the times when I try to use something that uses root, the phone powers off, especially if I try to write to system, I think

- just for curiosity I tried linpack + oc, it always gives me 2 Mflops. With some other froyos I could get almost 4 without oc

good work anyway

Same problem here
[Touch HD Android Development] LeeYaoSan:
well I can't see what I wanted, can you check "partition names"? In linux is very easy, I dunnno how to do it in windows

I mean linux identifies partitions not by device label, for example in linux first hdd is sda1

So SD card partitions should be recognised as:

Fat 32 partition: mmcblk0p1

Ext2 partition: mmcblk0p2

swap partition: mmcblk0p3

Maybe (I don't really know) you'll need a linux live cd like parted magic to do that

I have no problems with super user permissions on HTC Diamond and Sony Xperia X1 (yes this one also works for Sony). So it should be same for Blackstone...
[Touch HD Android Development] andycted:
That's interesting and could probably point to something I do wrong.

After correctly setting up everything, I go straight to download su manager from the market. Having it installed, I install setcpu and try to use it, when it should ask for su permission, it just goes on, but I think it's as if su wasn't granted. Previously I also had crashes, mostly with su enabled applications. Anyway, most su functions don't work, I think (for me).

The most apparent difference is that when I had thebrilliantmistake xdandroid installed, su worked as expected, with the dialog.

hope it helps, and can clarify my situation
