anyone facing issues with gallery?

i am unable to view the pics on my sd card.

this seems to be the issue with 2.2 only and not with 2.1.
[Touch HD Android Development] hwacookie:
Working for me as well, used startup.txt from previous 2.1 installation.

However, WiFi is not working for me, either.
[Touch HD Android Development] ngok31:
Here my feedback..

For it's working like the 2.1 version...very good...but I have the same battery issue as the 2.1..

I'll wiat and test the next version.
[Touch HD Android Development] Insaneboy:
Try to add the calibration command line from the 2.1 startup - that fixed it for me.

Same here, gallery doesn't work.
[Touch HD Android Development] damianpadden:
installing...........yippy

ran it, loaded to main screen....no responce on touchscreen.

got the 2.1 blackstone start.txt file and ran it with that.

Loaded to the main screen got past the lock screen then unresponsive again and kept going blank screen and back and blank screen and back.

running it again. now

still got to main screen and went off. Will check the installation and even may try 2.1

tried 2.2 with 2.1 startup but keeps going off. I cannot seem to get this to work.

Damo
[Touch HD Android Development] damianpadden:
still trying to get this to work.

2.2 all copied to route of storage card.

moved the \startup config\blackstone\ startup.txt and startup.txt~

to the route of the storage card.

Still no joy

I find this build very good and fast.

It works like a charme.

It looks faster then the other builds.

I like it very much.

The only thing is that play WorldWar and you already have a account on this device.

Now i cant log into my account, and i thinks we are bouth playing whith the same account. At the same time.

Any fix for it?
[Touch HD Android Development] raistlin74:

Hey,

[Touch HD Android Development] Dynamic_d:
Hi guys I have a htc desire pack. Its pack with ALL the icons and widgest from the desire includingthe phone widgets wich rule. I tried to install em on this froyo build but they dont install. They also didnt work on 2.1 by the way. I was wandering if there is a way to get those widgets to work. It would be great to use sum of the widjets like the dialer that can link existing contacts and has also facebok supportt. IF you know how to install it please reply. I am aware there are alternatives .

Thanks in advance

unable to boot

Hi, I also am unable to boot into andriod.

I changed the txt file as mentioned -> nothing.

I disabled touchflow and rebooted -> nothing.

I enabled touchflow and started teeter (as mentioned in thread 627749) and rebooted -> you guessed it... nothing!

The boot keeps hanging on the line: disabling "flash recovery"

Pfff i already rebooted more times than i slept this year.

Can someone please help me.

[Touch HD Android Development] motopaddy:
Nice build for Blackstone

Tried this build a few days ago.

Installing and booting went fine the first time (and times after:p)

Just used the startup.txt from the 2.1 build. See attachement and rename to startup.txt.

Working:

* Nice speed compared to the 2.1 builds

* Touchscreen works (incl. power, call, home, back and end call buttons)

* Connecting to carrier no problems and no manual setup

* Text messaging and internet without manual setup

* Calling and receiving calls works

* Charging works

* Market works and installs programs/widgets great (after signing in Gmail and syncing)

* G-sensor works in all degrees

* Customizing home screen and other screens (up to 7 like SENSE)

Not working / not tested (yet):

* No sound (music, ringtones, alarms)

* No vibration when setting phone on Vibrate

* No Wifi (error on activating)

* No camera and not sure i saw a program shotcut to open camera

* No GPS (weather can be set manually, no My Location in Maps)

* Bluetooth not tested

* Battery still drains, but a lot less than in the 2.1 builds

This might be the best version of Android i've tested on my Blackstone:D Still it has a few glitches, but with text messaging, internet and market running nicely i think i could use it as operating system.

The ony thing i hope will get fixed soon is the battery drain.

Will update when tested some more:)
[Touch HD Android Development] ngok31:
I ll retry with your startup.txt

Thanks
[Touch HD Android Development] veehexx:
@ motopaddy - thanks for the run down on what works and what doesnt, compared to 2.1.

im currently impressed with 2.1, and while i do use GPS, battery life is higher priority and can always drop back to WM for GPS use...

i might try 2.2 and see how i get on with it.

i know its a known issue, but does anyone have any thoughts as to what should be achievable with androids battery life? it seems alot of the genuine droid handsets range from 1-3 days. touchHD can easily see 5-7 days on WM for me.

i guess what im asking, is what will people be happy with bearing inmind other droid phones and droid (apprent) nature to use the battery?
[Touch HD Android Development] Gatac:
Okay, here's my review.

POSITIVE:

* Really snappy. Impressively so. It's perfectly usable even at full animation settings, I presume it'll go even better with those turned down.

* Seems more tolerant during bootup. With the 2.1 builds, I've had my data storage get screwed up often, but so far this build has been able to recover quite nicely from everything.

* New home screen. Like it better than the Sense launcher in 2.1 and it doesn't take a minute to start.

* Market search doesn't crash anymore, yay!

* Generally pretty damn stable, outside of a few specific cases.

NEGATIVE:

* Can't get Facebook contacts to show up in my contact list and be joined with my Google contacts.

* Data connection doesn't work for me yet, neither EDGE nor 3G stuff.

* WiFi *usually* works but I've gotten the errors, too. Seems to depend on how the phone feels when you boot into Android.

* Google Maps seems pretty freeze-happy, especially with GPS on.

* Some strange freezes while installing apps from the Market, but nothing that didn't eventually work.

* Camera missing, apps that use the camera crash out when you start them. Doesn't freeze the phone, though.

* Doesn't wake up from sleep occasionally.

Overall, I really like it! It clearly benefits from the hard work done on XDAndroid and is really almost completely useable as-is - I was certainly expecting so much worse from a first release!
[Touch HD Android Development] Ironzwerg:
It's great, but i can't turn off the display. The background light stays on. What can i do?

Andriod, Market and privacy

Hello everyone, one thing I've noticed is that when you use Market or other download apps in the Android OS, it has access to all your personal information, contact list, SMS, etc. Even informations on your SD card. I looked to see if setting, preference, etc, would allow me to disable access to the above but could not find anything. Can someone please tell me is there a way to disable access to all of the above in the OS? If not then I can not use the Andriod OS because I want to keep my information private. :(

thanks,

Wow, many thkx!!!

I also had the same problem but with that startup I have no problems of working with froyo!!!

Thkx!!!

got froyo installed and working, but as we all know the camera, album doesn't work and i'm okay with that, but Youtube aint working.... that is that i can login etc. but can't play them and that bothers me.

anybody else with this (small) problem??

"Q" board

So which startup file for BlackStone in the 2.2 build is the latest please?

my experience:

STARTUP CONFIG\BLACKSTONE\startup.txt - no key response (upon pin)

---------,,--------------------\startup.txt¬ - wifi not working

STARTUP CONFIG\Black-StartUp.txt - the one I have..just the keyboard issues..

I'm not sure how this affects keyboard but so far that's the only thing I not quite happy with...seems to be randomly inputting keys..q,x,c etc... anyone having the same issue?

Am I missing something?

..sorry, rokkie.

:)
[Touch HD Android Development] zero0007:
ok, got it..so it's the "msmts_calib=0x395.0x3c9.0x79.0x77" which seems to be handling the touchscreen calibration (therefore also the keyboard) ... does anyone know what these values mean? I know it's lame question but it seems it is just not calibrated properly hence the input errors...

also, does anyone have an idea how to get data access working (other than wifi)? I have it enabled in the settings but when trying to access any service requiring online access it just says no internet connection...

I must admit though that just a few fixes here and there and this is awesome..compare it to the windows mobile witch came with Blackstone initially... :))

anyhooo, constructive comments very much appreciated!

:)
[Touch HD Android Development] vinculum:
Looks really good, fast and works for 90%

Wireless worked for me. I didn't use the files in the first post though.

I installed the "Android 2.1 (Eclair) On HTC [27 Jun 2010] (V2.5a) Voice Support" cab provided by TheBrilliantMistake. I had to run the auto-setup.exe but I think that is normally run automatically from the cab. Then I DLed the latest file from htcandroid.xland.cz which is currently XDANDROID.2.2.AOSP.10.7.10.BETA.V2.7z

Then just unzipped the files onto the card and booted up android.

So far, reponse times seem quite good but you need to give it about ten minutes after initial boot up. Up until then, response times seemed all over the place for me.

Wifi is working.

Sound is working.

Vibrate is not working for incoming calls and texts.

Phone takes a few seconds to wake on imcoming call. Doesn't wake for incoming text.

Is anyone else having crap response from the touchscreen?

I don't mean time but when for instance typing a message, some random letter get pressed etc (pressing h sometimes results in writting q/w etc).... ?

[Touch HD Android Development] motopaddy:

Yes i have this problem too. Happens with [space] and [backspace] aswell... But not very often thankfully :)
[Touch HD Android Development] zero0007:
lucky you...I almost can't use it for texts...stylus solves it but not so keen on it.. :|
[Touch HD Android Development] oNNoZeLe:
is there a way to get "other" location providers working, beside GPS?

e.g. using the locations settings from the umts masts..

After a year orso, i really like the fluidness from this 2.2

batt level went in one night from 60% to 16%

FYI
[Touch HD Android Development] justrome0:
I believe the touchscreen weirdness is caused by how the capacitive screen sends touch events compared to the resistive ones. I don't know how they work for sure but I've been developing touchscreen applications for touchtables and I know that it's possible to get touch events as blobs or as points depending on how the tracker works. It's possible that the regular android driver supports only capacitive screens and a lot of it has to be recoded for resistive screens.

it's just an idea I don't really know how mobile touchscreen work I can only make a good guess.

Let's hope the developers get to the bottom of it.
[Touch HD Android Development] damianpadden:
thanks for this android version for the HTC Touch. It has made my mind up to get the new droid X from motorola.

Damo
[Touch HD Android Development] onesolo:
I have

But using the Stylus solves this. Maybe it's something with the calibration of the screen...
[Touch HD Android Development] zero0007:
yeah, that's what I mentioned too..it's just such a shame.
[Touch HD Android Development] zero0007:
Froyo experience

My findings after two days of working with Froyo on Blackstone:

- touchscreen responds inaccurately

- battery completely gone in approx 4-5hrs of usage (wifi, 3g, generic use)

- randomly unlocks in my pocket (there is some sort of weird combination of keys which does it, sucks)

- all the other things from generic Android FAQ ...no camera, funny way of switching off (:D) etc.

As some stated before, I think it's great that we'are able to run Froyo on Blackstone, however, I think it's a long way before (if ever) it gets to the stage where it's of any use on a daily basis - at least to my knowledge based upon my short experience.

On the other, it has so far been a great way of how to find out about how Android works (no previous experience at all) and it definitely encouraged me to save up some pennies to get a proper droid phone..obviously I can't expect miracles from (by now) dated device which has by no means the same capabilities as the more recent HTC phones which are designed to run Android.

Yay, opened to discussion, opinions and criticism!

:)
[Touch HD Android Development] zero0007:
Thanks for the tip.

Honestly, I have no idea as I know nothing about development. I was rather hoping that it would be something to do with the calibration or something like that..since some users seem to experience it and some don't..strange. But as said, no idea what/where (in the start.txt) or how the calib is done...

any tips on this issue very welcome.
[Touch HD Android Development] funguru:
worked like a charm...
[Touch HD Android Development] darkdominus:
Hi, i'm using this version for 3 days without "no errors" :)

But there are 2 things that are not working very well.

Battery, and album. Is anybody else having this problem (forget about battery, we all have the some problem).

[Touch HD Android Development] boxbo:
same problem
[Touch HD Android Development] darkdominus:
I had the same problem and fix it with this on startup.txt

Hi everyone,

Just tried this dual boot utility http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723200 in our HD and it works.

Just disable PIN code for a better experience.

It is writen for the HD2. Use it at your own risk ;)

Beware, after being a whole afternoon working with android, and after install the dualboot, now i can't start sense in winmo.
[Touch HD Android Development] wcreations:
Hi Cymax, thanks for your post, but it didn't work out, did that but still find only silent under ringtone selection, plus when i go to gallery it shows me a message "SD can not mounted or not presented", I think it has to be some bug with SD card mounting, Any Ideas?
[Touch HD Android Development] onesolo:
Thkx, all I need now is an android app that allow us to softreset the android system. Does anyone knows one??
[Touch HD Android Development] darkdominus:
One more for me. Having to reset Android with stylus it's a pain.
[Touch HD Android Development] camro:
i also played with the touch screen and input ...

first was thinking it has something todo with input keyboard. also tried to install the 1.6 swype, but also doesn't help ...

for me, all important parts are in there to play also in daily use, but the touch screen is unusable in daily use.

if i press "H" it makes aq or something.

so in detail:

it looks like, if you press via FINGER on screen(ex: middle) , the screen regonize that there are 2 touches via finger.

-> one from leftside, and then it recognize the MIDDLE.

i played with "Dotty", and there you can see the behavior.

Well, for the normal work - it is almost possible to work, because the system recognize the "dummy left side + and then it use the correct possition.

via application "Dotty", that the cooridinate are going from: x0,y0 to x304,y532

maybe the display is not a real 800x480 on touchscreeen driver ?

or it is looking like a timer problem, that if the size of touch is bigger, then it doesn't calc correct, where the pointer should be set ?

i saw, there somewhere there is a v3. i will try the new one ...
[Touch HD Android Development] onesolo:
Don't forget to update frequently the usual files, rootfs zimage modules ...

Today I updated all those files, there's a new roofts version that was out yesterday, and I think it improved the HD...
[Touch HD Android Development] darkdominus:
Your right :), i think if battery drain was improved we add a everyday working version of Android 2.2

By the way, from were do you download the files?

And just another question, do you have problems with Gallery? I can't see photos.

This might be like a really lame question but - is there a way how to show all the stuff which is running and possibly switch it off? Like it is kinda on WM...

I guess that will save some battery then....

Also, since 3G had to be configured manually, is there a way of how to switch it on/off conveniently rather than having it on all the time..?
