Hello,

I have an DIAM 100, at first I tought is just me, but reading the forum I see that at the majority the life of batery has increased, this is super, and yes much smoother than 2.1.

thank you to all involved in this project.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] lucxxx:
Hello,

it will help if you make two partitions, one fat and one ext2, use system on fat and mount-unmount second one "ext2" as an sdcard.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] mrgelmer:
I got the latest rootfs (7-07) and zimage and modules (11-07) and the latest system.ext2. My problem is that it doesn't install apps from the market.

It's downloading the app and installing for ever. Anybody got the same problem?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] cricalix:
After the second boot, beta2 is working nicely on my RAPH100 (Vodafone UK). Had to add the APN manually for Voda. Battery life seems kinda short, but that might be the software not reading the battery properly. Booted up, status said 50%, 2 minutes later 21%, connected to mains, 30 seconds later 66%, then 79%. I know it doesn't charge -that- fast.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] joeyzbg:
I hope this wil work for an 100% soon.

so i can get rid of windows mobile..

Adnroid is so much better!

Thanks for the good work, i'm gonna test it right now!

With V2 and CPU at 528 mhz:

Linpack - consistent 3.1 MFLOPS

Quadrant - 347 - Again almost half as good as HTC Magic and almost as good as a Droid.

Figure out how to flash this on our devices and i'd be first in line to do so. :p
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] siulmagic:
neo peek is working on that be patient
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Beginning to sound like a broken record...

Reboot and/or delete your data.img. Try again :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] heavymetalmage:
Did you achieve overclocking through changing your startup.txt, the overclock widget, or some other way?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] nkrick:
Finally jumped on board v2.2 now that beta2 is out. One question: is automatic provisioning of APN's completely broken now? I saw that there were some changes for this latest beta. I use AT&T and have never had to enter my APN manually until 2.2 beta2.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] thedicemaster:
broken apns_config.xml.

easy to fix though.

anyone with linux can do it:

mount the beta1 and beta2 system.ext2's in linux

copy over the apns_config.xml from beta1 system to beta2 system

unmount the beta2 system.ext2 and put it on your SD/storage
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] MrObvious:
So is the SD Card bug the reason I can't change ringtones beyond silent on the DIAM500? I was hoping the new root.fs file would have fixed it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] waterproof125:
A few days into using beta v2:

lack of ringtones slightly kills me inside lol

youtube does work (a bit laggy thought) on low quality

wifi works great and so does 3g and gps (im not sure if this was caused by android but now when i use gps in winmo it show's me within like 3km of my actual position while it's perfect in android)

battery seems to be a bit better but no drastic improvements

keyboard calibration is very sensitive (can only efficiently type using the sylus)

besides the keyboard being very sensitive, words are not automacially inserted anymore (the ones in red) even when the option is selected

i'm able to use this beta as the primary os on my phone so that shows you something. keep on truckin' devs :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] waterproof125:
yep that's the issue and i feel ya but just hang on it's definitely high on the priority list
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] bamed:
In the meantime you can assign ringtones from third party apps if you do Dev Tools->Media Scanner first. Of course, you have to do it all over after reboot. For example, I've got the Portal Soundboard app. So after a reboot I go to Dev Tools->Media Scanner, wait for it to finish, the go to the Portal Soundboard, hold down "Still Alive" then select Set as Ringtone and my ringtone has been changed, but even though the ringtone has changed, in Settings->Sound->Ringtones, Silent is my only option.

Yes, it's a bit of a nuissance, but something I can live with until the problem is fixed.

Oh, the above doesn't seem to work for notifications, only ringtones.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] waterproof125:
note about the SD card, the 'weather widgets' app can save and open skins to and from the SD card without any issues while others like the 'pure calendar' cannot. maybe looking into how weather widgets does this can help with the sd issues?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] hamagc:
ok i am seeing alot of posts about sdcard not working on diam100 & diam500.

i am also seeing reports that the sdcard is working on diam100 & diam500.

for those who state that it is not working, please make sure that you are running all the newest system.ext2 from 10/7/10 & the newest available zimage/modules & rootfs.

delete the data.img from previous builds.

boot and try again.

if you are still not getting it to work, please post confirming that you are using the newest files (include date of files), that you are using a new data.img, and what model phone you have (diam500, diam100).

since i don't have a diamond my testing is done on my g/fs which is rare. i will try tonight to get on it (diam500) and see if i have any issues myself. from some of the devs i have spoken with, it appears to be working, but from looking at these posts something is not working.

thanks!

Topaz Issues

I have the newest build, deleted the data.img and thats where the boot stops...it says it cant create the data file and just hangs there.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Not the thread for the Topaz, but try formatting your SD card.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] vitusdoom:
yes. i am using the newest bundle. but with old data.img. ill try later with new data.img. thanks for the info
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] angus1357:
Already tried that, there are several others in the Topaz thread with the same issue but nobody has a fix yet...thats why I posted here
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] martijn5380:
i did it trough changing my startup.txt.. tried with different values.. first with acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=650000, later with 700000.. if i go higher than 700mhz xdandroid won't boot:(
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] bamed:
I have a DIAM500. I formatted the internal memory, downloaded the V2 Beta from the beginning of this thread, also downloaded XDANDROID.2.2.AOSP.10.7.10.BETA.V2.system.ext2, along with rootfs-20100707-943da17.zip from RootfsAutobuilds and htc-msm-linux-20100711_134525-package.tar.bz2 from the glemsomAutobuilds.

I unzipped XDANDROID.2.2.AOSP.10.7.10.BETA.V2.7z and copied all the files to the newly formatted internal memory. Then unzipped rootfs-20100707-943da17.zip and renamed the resulting file rootfs.img, renamed the XDANDROID.2.2.AOSP.10.7.10.BETA.V2.system.ext2 to system.ext2, also untarred htc-msm-linux-20100711_134525-package.tar.bz and renamed zImage_20100711_134525 to zImage, then copied modules-2.6.27.46-01114-g8d3ad9a.tar.gz, zImage, system.ext2, and rootfs to the internal memory overwriting the files that came with XDANDROID.2.2.AOSP.10.7.10.BETA.V2.7z. Copied the startup.txt file from \STARTUP CONFIG\DIAM500 to the root of the internal memory and then opened Haret.exe.

Still no ringtones.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] hamagc:
it's ok to post here but support for you will be very limited as no one in this thread has a topaz. since we are unable to really recreate the issues all we can suggest is what we would for anyone else.

format the card. make sure all files are the newest. if the newest are not working, try something older.

was it working previous to deleting the data.img? have you had froyo working previously (v1)?

it can take up to 10 minutes to create the data.img though usually not that long. how long have you let it go for? how big of a card are you using? the data.img usually is about 250mb.

hopefully something here helps.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] angus1357:
I re-copied/pasted the files back into the memory card, and deleted what I assume to be an incomplete data.img (since it didnt boot) and now its running, at least its been scrolling command lines for about 5 minutes now. I'll write back if it never finishes booting but i'll let it go for a while longer.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] kradelite:
I am on a CDMA diam500 (Sprint) I have the 10.7.10 bundle containing the files from 7/7/10 and the system.ext2 from 10/7/10. I was previously using my data.img file from 2.1 but deleted it today in hopes of getting the SDCARD to work. I am getting the same behavior with the new dat file as the old. When booting up it does not recognize the sdcard. There are no ringers etc. I can do the media scanner and all my music will show, and I can associate one of those with a ringer.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Let's try to narrow it down. Do you hear tones from the dialpad - what I'm trying to get is does the speaker work?

If that works, what happens when you go to the gallery app? Does it give you an error or what?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] hamagc:
have you updated the rootfs & zimage/modules?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] hamagc:
i am assuming by no ringtones, he is meaning there is no option to choose them.

lets forget the ringtones issues. focus on gallary. have you been able to get the gallary to work? or does that come up saying no sd card mounted?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] kradelite:
If I go into the Gallery it says "SD card unmounted or is not present".

In the dialer I do hear tones when I press a number and when I get a call or a text I get a couple of beeps notifying me of the call / message / email.

If I go into music without running the media scanner it tells me that I do not have a SD card mounted.

I hope some of this helps.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] kradelite:
I have all the files from 7/7/10 currently in place for the rootfs, zimage and modules.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] bamed:
Gallery says SD card unmounted or not present.

And by no Ringtones I mean under Settings->Sound->Phone Ringtones my only option is "Silent". Settings->Sound->Notification ringtone also only lists "Silent".

However, the phone does ring and I get notifications all using what I assume is the default ring. I was able to assign the ringtone from a third-party app after running Media Scanner, but it seems after updating to the most recent files that no longer works.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] hamagc:
are you guys renaming eclair.user.conf to froyo.use.conf in the conf folder?

it's not really mentioned anywhere to do this and i'm not sure if it's needed. i'm just trying to figure out whats different between the diam500's that are working that the ones that are not.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] kradelite:
Yes.. I now have a froyo.user.conf.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] kradelite:
Let me rephrase that.. I have had the froyo.user.conf for a couple of weeks now.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] bamed:
Actually, the V2 beta download from this forum already has a file /conf/froyo.user.conf, and has renamed eclair.user.conf to eclair.user.com~.

So, yes, I'm using froyo.user.conf and not eclair.user.conf.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] hamagc:
hrmm. do any of you use irc?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yea, seems the DIAM's still have an issue... it's odd that some people are reporting it as working, there's gotta be some step being missed here...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] bamed:
sure, what server/channel?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] hamagc:
freenode, #xdandroid
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Is #htc-linux still being used, or has that been 'deprecated'? Haha!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] dexterts:
A did everything I can with my diam100.Formated internal storage,fresh installs for many times,and every time same thing.Sd card is missing :/

Every thing else works,but this thing with sd card is starting to get on my nerves...:confused:
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] stinebd:
#htc-linux is used for kernel development and "standard" Linux development (like Rhobuntu), anything that's not Android. The creators are none too fond of Android.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Definitely seems like an issue for DIAM users. Wait for a workaround or a fix from the devs, I don't think we know quite what the issue is (since other devices work, even other DIAM's have been reported to be working...)

Wow... I didn't realize that. Seems silly to me, they're probably sick of all the newbies asking the same questions over&over :P
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] AndroHQUist:
Ok, but can someone explain why shutdown used to work a long time ago ? I think it was during 1.6 donut builds. We ran of SD if i recall.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] waterproof125:
so i've now switched to the latest glemson zimage and modules (htc-msm-linux @ 20100711_134525) and have the latest rootfs (rootfs-20100707-943da17) and have deleted my data.img and still the gallery shows 'SD Card unmounted...'

i really don't know why this isn't working for me but i hope someone figures it out
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] MSHampton:
The main problem that I am having with beta2 is that I can't get a data connection. I'm using a FUZE with AT&T. beta1 connection worked fine.

1. I started with the new system.ext

2. Then I deleted the data.img

3. Then i did a full load of from the beta2 package.

wifi works and I can get a data connection there, just not through 3g. I validated that the phone rings when called.

Anything inparticular I can check?

Also did the new rootfs.img as well. forgot to mention that.

Also, before I did the full overwrite, I could switch back to the beta1 system.ext2 and data connection worked again.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Did you try adding an APN manually? I had to do that with the 2.2 builds and most of the 2.1 builds.

I don't think it was ever "working" properly. Perhaps the quotes should go around properly, but either way you get the point ;)

Plus we've always ran off SD... what have you been running XDAndroid on?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] hamagc:
&

this may be where it was left off. will be fixed someday lol.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] MrObvious:
I'm on there.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Plutonium0587:
It works fine on my DIAM500, I can't figure out what I do differently.... I renamed the eclair conf file from the diam folder to froyo and copied over, I have all files in place, get my data made and go, nothing fancy... I don't even run the media scanner.

My music player is acting funny though. Stops randomlly sometimes. I use a different one and it works fine.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] NuttySquirrel:
Manually enter the APN, I used the data from here: http://androidforums.com/motorola-milestone/72103-t-apn-settings-milestone.html#post823226
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] AndromedaB:
my contact list crashed and my contacts dissapeared until i rebooted but now it wont sync properly with google... ive tried reinstall
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] waterproof125:
so opening the gallery or anything that requires the SD card works? did you just use the 10.7.10 bundle? if so it shouldn't have needed the conf renaming... if not what files are different? lol im just trying to figure out what were doing different here
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] MSHampton:
Thanks, that got it. Now if I can only get my location services to work. I'm finally getting the GPS indicator up top, but still not getting any location found from the network. Data is working though now that I set up the APN.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] waterproof125:
Try finding/getting a lock on your location in Google maps first
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] yngieaxl:
Gallery still not working, Music Player did'nt detect any song on Diamond Internal Storage.

Can I mount Diamond Internal Storage as sdcard?

Froyo version of XDANDROID is working very fast compare to eclair version.

Keep on the good work guys...

We thank you for all your hardwork

can't wait for fully functional Android on my Diamond..
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] sompie2:
something strange I see all this people with diam phones having the sd card problem but nobody with a raph. I have a raph 100 with the latest beta and latest zimage rootfs and so on and i also have the problem. am i the only one with a raph phone who has this problem?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] elementar:
How?

How to install it?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] x40sw0n:
I just had a thought as to why some people may be having problems with the sdcard and others may not; some people may be running this from the root directory, while others are running from \andboot instead.

I was thinking then that it might alter the mountpoints a bit, though I have a raphael machine so it might not matter (though I did have sdcard problems with the alpha).
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] bamed:
I deleted data.img and moved everything from / to /andboot and still having the exact same problem. :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] x40sw0n:
Ah well I guess that answers that question. :/
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] kradelite:
Someone mentioned yesterday that they think the problems with the Daimonds is caused by the sd card not having any partitions. Does anyone have the SD card working on a DIAM500 and uses a single partition on their card?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] waterproof125:
woah woah woah... im running from the root... are u telling me all i gotta do is change it to \andboot? lol i would love if this was true... lets give 'er a try :)

EDIT: put all the files into a new folder named andboot and it booted but still no SD card

EDIT 2: Deleted data.img and retried the andboot folder and still no luck
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Dark Man X:
@devs: do you know why we have the sd-card issue on diam?

i´m sure you working on it, but maybe you already know the problem and we can stop to speculate...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] colo-natas:
I can second this. U.S. AT&T... I upgraded to BETA 2 by ripping out my old XDAndroid 2.1 install; reformatted the card. Then I applied the BETA 2 7zip package and added in the latest zImage, modules, rootfs, etc. Upon boot and creation of a fresh data.img I don't have a data connection. Signature is not current.

I see the following networks via the Available Networks screen:

Cingular

Voicestream Wire

Cingular should be the network I need. When I select it I get the "Registered on network" message but never get a data connection. And yes, "Data enabled" is checked and toggling back and forth doesn't help.

Oh, that's weird... When I go into Access Point Names the list is empty. This isn't normal, is it? I am troubleshooting as I type this, forgive me.

Added this APN, no change; rebooting now:

Name: AT&T

APN: wap.cingular

Proxy: leave blank

Port: leave blank

Username:WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

Password:CINGULAR1

Server: leave blank

MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com

MMS Port: 80

MCC:310

MNC:410

APN Type: leave blank

edit: Looks like others have had the same issue. Thread search sucks. After rebooting XDAndroid this fixed the data connection. So I guess I'll just leave this here for posterity. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] bamed:
Just so we're clear, the CDMA DIAM500 actually doesn't have a removable SD Card, but instead includes 4GB of internal memory. I believe this is different than the GSM models. So are you suggesting repartitioning the internal memory and setting up an ext2 partition?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] cynepmeh:
The DIAM100 has that Internal 4GB as well...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] waterproof125:
apparently the 4gb SD card is an actual SD card soldered to the motherboard

ps. who besides Plutonium0587 has a working SD on a DIAM?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] kradelite:
I was in the chat room yesterday and that is one of the items that was brought up as a possibility. I was planning on it but I haven't had a chance to get to a linux machine to format and repartition my internal memory.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] waterproof125:
I don't think you need a linux machine to do this, just a program that can partition SD cards and such
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] kradelite:
I was having a hard time last evening getting any of the windows partation programs I tried to recognize the attached drive to format and repartation. If anyone has any suggestions I would be more then willing to try it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
If you formatted the card with an ext2 partition, Windows won't be able to see it. I would think Windows would still be able to format it, however.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] kradelite:
I am able to format the card from within windows, just having problems getting windows to recognize the card within partition programs.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Not sure what the problem is then, not like this is a thread that supports "partition programs" as you call them.

I have one big FAT32 partition on my card, not sure why everyone is fussing with separate partitions and the like. I've heard from several people that it won't give any performance boost on our devices to go to an ext2 formatted-card. Just makes things more complex and confuses people...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] bamed:
I repartitioned my internal memory and created an ext2 partition, then installed Android on the ext2 partition using the latest rootfs, kernel, and system.ext form the beggining of this thread, and now my gallery and ringtones are all there. :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] hamagc:
ya it looks like it works with a partition but that shouldn't be a needed step. still looking at it for fat32.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] NeoMatrixJR:
That modules/zimage came from unknownforce over on ppcgeeks. He built a "workaround" for the battery meter issue and put out his own "dirty" kernels. For some reason, either the batter changes or some other unidentified difference he baked in his are the only kernels that work on the TP2 right now. He's posted his battery changes and should be posting all of his work sometime soon.

Can any of the xdandroid dev's possibly take a look at his stuff and see if we can't get xdanrdoid standard build kernels working on the TP2/rhodium again?:confused:!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
This section is for the original Touch Pro/Fuze. It's extremely difficult to develop software for a device that you do not own, so if there are any devs with the TP2/Rhod (which I'm sure there are) I would plead for their assistance, rather than devs that have a TP.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] ranasrule:
is there an easy all in one package for this build ....like u just copy it to your sdcard and run android from it ?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] mrvanx:
Yes....

Go To post #3 of this thread and download the latest build.

Unzip the archive into a folder called "andboot" on your SD card....then run Haret.exe

This info is available in the XDAndroid wiki. ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yes, as the previous poster pointed out. Please take the time to at least read the first few posts. I know, it's a 90-page thread. No one expects you to read all of it, but the first page isn't too much to ask is it?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Plutonium0587:
Mine works and I'm running on root. I'm not using new bundle, just old bundle with updated roofts, ext2, and zimage.
