Once you've set up your google account, and you get back to the original screen, soft reset your device to boot into winmo, then fire up haret. XDAndroid should boot normally the second time, instead of going to the setup screen.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] sabrosolatino:
Thanks a lot

Thanks to everyone who helps keep alive our HTC CDMA diamond touch and let us enjoy the Android experience.

Thanks a lot. :)
[Touch Diamond CDMA] svtguy88:
I was able to get out of the setup screen and sync my Google account using wifi. Overall, the experience is a LOT better than the last install of Xdandroid that I tried.

Battery life is MUCH improved, but still not great. I left the phone off the charger last night on purpose, and I woke up to Android reporting about 14% battery. This is a definite improvement, as the last time I tried this, the phone was back in WinMo, showing like 50%. It seems like the charge percentage that is reported by Android is getting a little closer to being accurate, at least while the phone is sleeping and not doing anything too resource intensive (phone call, wifi, etc.), as when I rebooted to WinMo this morning, it said 11% battery versus Android's 14%. Whenever the phone is hot, the battery percentage seems wonky though.

Also, when I try to charge the phone under Android, it will charge for a few seconds, and then report "Charged." I'm thinking this is closely related to the reason the charge percentage is inaccurate when the device is hot, as when it's charging, it's hot as well. I think I remember reading that the battery life problem was caused by Android getting inaccurate readings when the battery is hot.

Lastly, I keep getting a message that says "This beta of Launcher Pro has expired...blahblahblah." Sometimes the message will go away, and I'll be back at my homescreen, other times it won't, and I'll be left with the Launcher Pro message and just the top status bar of Android--which is unresponsive (can't pull it down). A reboot fixes the problem for a bit, but whatever version of Launcher Pro must have to be updated in the kernel (or however its installed...I think it's preinstalled, and would have to be updated upstream, yes?).

Great work though! Getting closer....

**edit**

I just installed the updated Launcher Pro from the market. Apparently it doesn't have to be updated upstream, but I'm sure future builds will have the updated version.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] svtguy88:
Few more random issues to report. It seems like that after being booted to Android for some time, the hard buttons on the phone (home, back, send, end) seem to get confused. The back button acts like the end button (and the end button still acts as end). Pushing back will sleep the phone, and holding it brings up the shutdown/poweroff menu. Rebooting fixes the problem...
[Touch Diamond CDMA] masterfred:
This just gave me a new life for my Diamond ... WM is a piece of crap ... at least until 7 ... Anyways, is there anyway to completely scrap WM of my phone and only boot in Android ?

Thanks !
[Touch Diamond CDMA] sumitvrma:
Used this method to boot Android on my Sprint Diamond. Start was all good but before boot completed.

Suddenly saw: Waiting For SD Card, repeatedly.

When I did A soft reset everything was fine, it was back to Winmo but I lost my Internal Storage. Not blaming anyone, but if possible please help me re-gain it. I will be highly obliged.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] nutpants:
two questions

just installed and seems typo be working fine on a telus cdma touch diamond 500 but

earphones donot work when plugged in,is this not working?

when its just siting not being used the led flashes as if it was charging in windows mobile. is that normal.

i was hoping to bring my diamond back to life as a mp3 player like the new samsung android device. but with out headphones working i may as well keep it wm6.1

nutz
[Touch Diamond CDMA] pr0cs:
yeah I believe the headphones thing is a known issue and the LED flashing (when in Android) indicates 'deep sleep', different than 'charge' from winmo.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] m4f1050:
I have a Sprint Diamond I would like to help test this out. Someone has a list of required files in /Internal Storage? Maybe a .zip or .rar with all requried and latest files?
[Touch Diamond CDMA] khatta:
All updates are posted on XDANDROID facebook page

Download the latest build here: http://ow.ly/2FppX

Extract and copy the andboot folder to your internal storage. Then inside 'Startup Configuration', look for Diamond500 and copy the 'Startup.txt' into the 'andboot' folder. Edit the 'StartUp.txt' file to add the following before the " ends.

htc_hw.force_cdma=1

Save the file and Run HARET.EXE

You should boot ito Android.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] Starfox:
Instructions have been updated for 2.2 (Froyo). Please note that the file location has changed, everything is located in /andboot instead of / (root). If you are upgrading from 2.1 (Eclair), you should delete your existing data store (data.img) so that you won't run into complications.

[Touch Diamond CDMA] m4f1050:
Thanks, I was able to install it on my Diamond! :)

One thing, is SOD inevitable on this device with these builds? I have 4 HTC devices* all 4 with Android and haven't had an SOD until now on this device... :(

Any way of getting rid of the SOD or how to avoid it? I hate having to boot into WM to run Android, the process takes ages!

* I'm also testing the Touch Pro, Touch Pro2 and I already switched to Android on the HD2 which everything works except the compass (which I don't use...)

EDIT: I turned off the "Dim after" and "Turn off device" under Settings/Power, hoping this solves the SOD...testing now..

Anybody care to tell me how to enable sound on this device? I have No Ringtone, No Alarm, No Nothing Soundwise. Music player works and I can listen to the stuff in /sdcard/media/audio but why can't I pick any of it for ringtone, etc etc??? Did changing it from root to /andboot have anything to do with it?
[Touch Diamond CDMA] m4f1050:
Did you figure this out? I have "Silent" as my ringtone as well... Funny everybody else has ringtones...!?
[Touch Diamond CDMA] j_neatherlin:
I am having an extremely difficult time getting XDAndroid installed on my Sprint HTC Touch Diamond.

I was able to get a version of it installed yesterday morning, but I couldn't get the data connection to work, so I removed the files and try to re-install fresh. I have since tried 2 or 3 different builds, as well as the original build (however, I cannot recall which build I was able to install) with no success. I have formatted the phone and the internal storage several times in an attempt to start with a clean slate, again with no success.

At the moment, I have the newest build from post #102 and followed the instructions to the best of my ability.

Currently the files on my Internal Storage are:

\andboot\AndoidApps

\andboot\conf

\andboot\media

\andboot\haret.exe

\andboot\initrd.gz

\andboot\modules-2.6.27.46-01165-gfc1639f.tar

\andboot\rootfs.img

\andboot\startup.txt

\andboot\system.ext2

\andboot\zImage

the StartUp.txt reads:

set ramsize 0x10000000

set ramaddr 0x10000000

set mtype 2040

set kernel zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

set cmdline "msmvkeyb_toggle=off lcd.density=210 gsensor_axis=2,-1,3 board-htcraphael-navi.wake=0 rel_path=andboot htc_hw.force_cdma=1"

boot

Please help me understand what I'm doing wrong, so that I may get XDAndroid running again! Thanks!

EDIT: Haret launches fine and goes into the XDAndroid boot screen, however it never finishes loading into XDAndroid. It doesn't take 30+ minutes to load during the initial process, does it?
[Touch Diamond CDMA] m4f1050:
Even though it's for TP2, has anybody tried using system.ext2 from BLAZN 9/26 on the Diamond? I might try this later on... Super tired today...maybe tomorrow...
[Touch Diamond CDMA] Starfox:
Try deleting data.img if any are present. Especially if you have been trying out different builds, that could cause problems with booting.

Data takes a while to initialize, especially on first boot. If it doesn't work after 10 min, try restarting again. Second and subsequent boot should get data up much faster.

-- Starfox
[Touch Diamond CDMA] j_neatherlin:
i looked around for data.img but found nothing. where is data.img located? like i said, i formatted the internal storage as well as the phone in order to try to wipe out any problem files.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] Starfox:
The only thing that stands out is that modules* file should be a *.tar.gz file instead of a *.tar file. If that isn't the case, the only other option I can think of is to forgo andboot altogether.

Move everything out of andboot into the root (/) of the Internal Storage. Edit startup.txt and remove "relpath=andboot htc_hw.force_cdma=1" out of the cmdline. force_cdma is only useful for TP2 where it has both a CDMA and GSM radio.

-- Starfox
[Touch Diamond CDMA] j_neatherlin:
thanks. no luck so far. does it matter if I transfer the files via ActiveSync or as a Disk Drive?

EDIT: I think that the initial version I was able to get working was XANDROID31310 (I recall the included apps being on my phone when I was fooling with it). I hadn't done as much reading on it as I have now, and was going off of instructions from a different site. Some of the other steps that I had done on that initial boot was running DiamondUnlocker to disable the PIN and using Gen.Y DualBOOT. Would those things help? I have tried a number of different combinations of things and again, I have had no luck since that initial install.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] neurocutie:
tried the latest... crashes/reboots every 15mins...

I d/l the latest XDANDROID and configured it for my Sprint Diamond per instructions. It seems to run but spontaneously reboots (into WM) about every 15-20mins... I don't think the older releases did that (they had other problems...)
[Touch Diamond CDMA] Avatar345:
Hey folks, have some questions wrt 2.2 that I figure will be easy to answer. I tried searching first, but unfortunately didn't come up with much.

1) Internal storage/SD card - is it absent in this build on the Sprint CDMA?

2) Bluetooth - not yet functional I assume

3) The keyboard. The virtual keyboard I have here is, in a word, bad. Cannot seem to adjust for the life of me, and much less usable than the one from 1.6. Is there something I'm missing here?

4) Seem to have an issue where when receiving a call the phone will light up, but no ringer, and when answered the caller will hear me, but I cannot hear them.

Thanks for any insights!

Keyboard and touch screen calibration issues

I'm having trouble with the keyboard in this build and am surprised that noone else is. The keyboard is the type that has 3 letters on each button (abc, def, ghi, etc...) so how the heck can you type in something like a username and password for google sync? There's no option to change to a different keyboard, not to mention the keyboard has chinese symbols on 3 of the buttons...

Also the touch screen calibration is off, I tried deleting the calibration file and trying again multiple times, pressing the squares with both my finger and with the stylus, however the calibration is still significantly off where I press one button on the keyboard and it thinks I clicked one next to it.

Any help with these issues would be greatly appreciated, I haven't been able to really dig deep into android because of them.

Last builds system 10.10.10 Good just out of the first RUN!!!

Costumer: "I want to return this LCD, it will not tune channels."

Employee: "Sir this is a Computer LCD monitor."

P.S: Please People I think it could be a good idea if everyone before ask about an issue tell which build, system, rootfs-*.img and zImage.* are Using,

because that MATTER A LOT!!!! It is hard to follow an issue if not, please consider this simple idea.

.

I want to Thanks StarFox,

I have never believe our Diamonds would live upto the day it could run

almost as much as any Android Devices. I never even though that Froyo will run in our faithful and loyal devices.

Of course I wish a bigger screen but I can wait until 4G make vogue, so there gona be a lot of people trying to sell their 3G device with big 4.3 screen. I wish HTC launch an Android with big 4.3 or 4.5 Screen without Fisical Keyborad only 3G before 4G launch, because no way WiMAX or LTE will reach where I live.

Also wanna thanks Babijoee, Phhusson, Zenulator, Chamonix, Stinebd, Makkonen, Starfox, cr2, Markinus, Bzo, Captainoord, Glemsom, Balsat and anyone else who contribued to XDAndroid project.

Thanks a lot of Thanks.

I use Diamond500 CDMA sprint with

Last version builds XDANDROID 2.2 AOSP FRX01 17.9.10 UPDATE_PACKAGE

system FRX02 system.ext2 10.10.10

and everything goes really NICE!!!

- no touch screen calibration issues

- Keyboard as always (not perfect but usable) (You have to change to normal Android Keyborad)

- Internet OK out of the box (by 3G) when first launch web browser.

- no crashes

- battery as usually no as good with WM6.5 Sence2.5-2019-21670

I can't complain to much but facts are:

- No problem to answer a call but ringer setting doesn't allow to choose a diferent ringer from "silent"

- SpearParts still doesn't increase font after go back

- Time Zone not saved after reboot.

I'm really thankful to all people who let run/preview

Froyo in our devices.

Thanks

Love it so far... Only issue is the on screen keyboard is like a phone dial pad.... how do I change it to a standard keyboard?

I am on a Touch Diamond
[Touch Diamond CDMA] Bigjohn_S:
just a few stupid questions...

I've got a diamond from Sprint (htc 6950 aka diamond 500).

Does the camera work?

Can you load this to the NAND so you don't have to run haret?

When installed can you use data/wifi/gps?

Thanks... there are many threads with tons of data... but still, not as easy as it was on my Vogue...
[Touch Diamond CDMA] sabrosolatino:
I don't know if this will help you but in "Settings" there is a "Keyboard&Language" stuff.

I have Spanish and English "text check" and normal qwerty Keyboard,

the weird is that everytime I reboot I have to change my TIME zone.

Even I believe you have been answer it in this Thread

NEW Oct 25, 2010 release!!!!

FYI there is Oct 25 release XDANDROID 2.2 AOSP.

Log for the new 25.10.10

Anyone have a comment about this new release???

Best Regards Sabroso :thumbright: ;)
[Touch Diamond CDMA] Starfox:
OP changed to reflect update to FRX03 (aka 2.2.1). The Rhodium (Touch Pro2) has gotten NAND boot working, so hopefully in the near future it can be enabled for other Touch/Diamond devices. Backlight support too. I sold my Diamond though (been inactivated for 2 month), so I won't be able to test out any new stuff for the DIAM500.

-- Starfox
[Touch Diamond CDMA] tk76:
Sorry if I missed this info somewhere in the thread...

Recently installed XDAndroid using the 2.2.1 bundle. Works great... but I have 3 issues:

1. Marketplace does not have Adobe Flash Player

2. Marketplace does not have Skyfire.

3. My internal memory card (4GB) is invisible.

I know the memory card issue has a fix- and maybe that is why I can't find those programs in marketplace?

I would like to have a flash solution- now that Skyfire for WinMo is gone. Any suggestions?

BTW- I'm not finding the exact fix for the internal storage. I remember its something to the effect of removing a partition in my internal memory, but I only am willing to mess with the internal memory if have detailed instructions.

Also, I've been solely using WiFi (haven't activated the phone on my Sprint account yet.) But the Marketplace (and everything else) works great. I just can't find those 2 key apps in the marketplace and the storage memory(SD) is not visible in XDAndroid.

Again, I'm sorry if this info is already out their. I'm returning to the board after a 1 yr absense, and have not found the answer thorough search (and there are aklot of old posts to sift through over the last year :) .
[Touch Diamond CDMA] tk76:
Update:

I found the APK for flash 10.1 and Skyfire 3.0 online (they do not show up in the marketplace.) Skyfiire sort of worked, but very laggy. Flash installed, but broke my browsers (Dolphin and the stock browsers would not open.) They worked again after uninstalling flash.

I read elsewhere that only certain machines work with flash. Something about having flashlite 3.1 installed on winmo (which I have.) Any insight? I'm really hoping for a replacement for skyfire on winmo.

Update2:

I restarted from scratch. I made sure there were no partitions in my internal storage. I then reformatted my internal storage as fat32, allocation size 16kbs. I then re-installed using the andboot folder as described in the OP.

-Result was the same. Android runs fine, but in settings under SD card it says "unavailable" and the "mount SD card" option is greyed out (cannot be selected.) Also, still no Flash or Skyfire in the marketplace (but I have the APK's from online.)

I'm guess Andoid is missing my internal storage because of something in the internal memory. My next step will be to reflash my WinMo system- but I would rather not.

Also, I'm using the stock Sprint 6.1. Is this possible the problem. Is there something I need to unlock (Pin?)

Let me know if there is a simple answer. Thanks.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] tk76:
Update: Success!

With some help at PPCGeeks...

I re-formatted my internal storage using the HP formatting utility. This works where the Windows (Vista) formatting utility fails. Now my internal storage is recognized as a 4GB SD card.

Also put the flash 10.1 apk in the android programs folder, it was installed on my initial haret boot. And skyfire was now available in the marketplace (must have needed a mounted SD for it to show up.) Neocore benchmarks at 17 FPS.

So I'm now running as well as possible w/ a Diamond.

Of note- flash is not very robust on the diamond. Some of the free apps (like flash TV) don't work. Also Skyfire is pretty weak compared to what I was used to on my Vogue in Winmo 6.1. So I don't think android on the Diamond is a good replacement for my lost skyfire functionality (skyfire is no longer supported in winmo, so no more websites with streaming video like Hulu.).

Even without the video options, having Android on the Diamond is prestty amazing. The Navigation and translator are great, as well as the access to Marketplace. Especially considering winmo is a dead OS.

But most importantly, I can have andoid on a phone without giving up my 5 year old Sprint 8$ unlimited data plan. That is why I opted for the Diamond over a newer Androit phone in the first place.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] j37hr0:
Fantastic. Installed this on my wifi only diamond and works as well as possible on a Diamond 17 FPS.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] calibrationx:
I installed it and it works fine but when I put it in sleep mode the lighted circle illuminates as if its charging even when it's not on the charger.

Also sometimes when I put it to sleep I can see the backlight still on. I turned off auto adjust backlight and it went away. Is this the only way to stop it from happening?

Also, how are your battery lifes when android is running?

If I install the optional bits in the first post will they solve my problems? Thank you!
[Touch Diamond CDMA] m13a8:
There's an application that should be on your phone called "lite effects" or something like that that you can change this with. I'm having problems with my android booting right now, but when it comes up I'll give you detailed info on how to fix this.

edit: it's called LED Effects. You can download it on post #15 of this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=667622&page=2

I'd go through all the steps for you, but my android is doing some weird screen thing that's making it unusable. I'm sure you can figure it out, though.

As far as I know, yes.

My battery life on android is noticeably shorter than on windows mobile.

Wifi Tethering on DIAM100 XDANDROID 2.2

Sorry for all the posts posted in the wrong thread, anyway, this is the place it should be I think.

Hi Everybody,

I have an anoying problem: I can't get wifi tethering to work. Read millions of posts on XDA but still no results. I love android on my freaky winmo!

This is my status:

Running XDANDROID.2.2.1.AOSP.FRX03.21.11.10.FULL_PACKAGE

Settings -> Wireless -> Wifi -> switch on = OK

Settings -> Wireless -> Tethering -> Wifi Hotspot -> switch on = NOK.

It simply says 'error' and it also switches my Wifi off. After this switching on Wifi also fails and giving me the same message: error.

(PS all the menu's are in my native language and I just translated them directly to english. Haven't figured out yet how to switch everything to english)

I tried different kernels (and modules). The last one I tried:

zImage-2.6.27.46-01250-g8f8207c

modules-2.6.27.46-01250-g8f8207c.tar.gz

Remember I read something about wifi and Radio ROM on the phone, but I have not HardSPL-ed it yet. Is there a minimum Radio version required?

Anyway, Hope somebody can help me a bit. I am desperate :).

Kind regards,

Mo

try this

files.xdandroid.com/xdandroid-tether.apk - sorry - I am not allowed to post links - even though I have been a member for a few weeks but this is my first post.

you may have to reboot phone to get it to work (each time)

forget using the built in program

use the icon for wifi tethering after installation

almost forgot - you must be root. I installed instant root - google it if you need it.

You don't need any root apps or HardSPL for XDAndroid. It already comes with root permissions and SPL is only required if you are flashing a ROM.

Okay, any special ed teachers on here, cause I didn't get very far.

Okay when I go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=711692 I don't find a clickable link to download the file so I googled xdandroid and downloaded a file called system-FRX04.ext2.zip

Then I extracted it all into a file I called android and got one file called system.ext2.

Using active sync I moved that file into a file, I had to create on the Internal storage, (Touch Diamond/Sprint no sd card) called andboot.

I am not finding these other files mentioned inside of that file.

I'm lost.

Can someone explain it real slow for me.

You need to download the FRX03 package, unzip that, then overwrite the system.ext2 file from the zip that you already have.

For those that are experiencing performance issues related to system_server, you should download the latest rootfs dated 021011. This should fix the sluggishness upon boot under FRX03/04.
