so this rom is for the touch diamond? does it work for the verizon one?

thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] _nameless:
Cool work man, looking forward to the final release!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] neopeek:
It's not a full ROM. You have to carefully read the instructions on my site. But this release is cross-compatible with a lot of devices. Not only Diamond. Also Raphael, Blackstone, Tilt2 etc.

You will have to create an EXT2-Partition on your internal memory. I have updated the first post with 2 videos on how to achieve this. If you are unexperienced in doing this or are a windows user then don't hesitate to ask...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] helicopter88:
I want to know if instead of creating a new ext2 partition i can edit the ext2 partition of xdandroid froyo bulid

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] batabe:
hi Neopeek,

is superF the next generation of the supereclair series? it was very stable and fast, i liked it and played a lot with it. but suddenly you discontinued the developing because of froyo... but if there is a chance to get a similar froyo, i'm glad to wait for it.

but the actual state of superF not really good. it is really fast, but a lot of things doesn't work. see my post in your site :)

cheers!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] neopeek:
Hi batabe,

as stated on my site I did a mistake with superF. I will provide a new build tomorrow. You mentioned it right: The reason why I stopped SuperE and SuperEclair was the Hype of Froyo. I am still searching for some guys who want to support me with porting ROMS. Now at the moment I am again in a release marathon throwing out several new Froyo and Donut ports. Of course, I will continue with Eclair, too - but I am no magician and also my wife's sitting in my neck cause I am spending too much time with my computer instead with her :) But I am happy that users like you give me feedback on my work. That's very important for me...

EDIT: The superF-Port also looks very promising for me. It's still in latest Test-Phase and Ben Buchacher promised to throw out stable one, soon. So I will pay extra attention on this...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] upm15:
Hi vatoloco, thanks for your effort and keep it up! I like android and unfortunately it is still not stable enough for everyday use, expecially the battery drainage problem. I am following up your every few days to hope for your improvement.

Thanks.

Have a Diamond DIAM100 running custom firmware WinMo 6.5

I made a backup of my internal memory, then gparted the drive, leaving about 500 mb for ext2. Did not made swap drive as there was nothing about it on your tutorial.

Installed Android 2.2. Kernel 2.6.27.46.01129-g5f4085a

Mod version CyanogenMod-6.0.0-DS-RC2

Used Diamond startup.txt (No overclocking)

Unit starts. First two boots on android did not have signals, but after messing around on settings wireless and networks, Mobile networks, it found the local net and even autoconnected to internet without the need of any configuration.

Nevertheless the unit is quite slow on response.

Dialing a phone number (no contacts yet) is really slow, and there is no audio out of the external speaker (so no ringing yet).

Camera don´t work.

System reboots from time to time.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sadmam:
hello,

So it's not usable... is there any build that we can use for day to day use without major problems?

Thks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chriscsh:
so far not a big problem for me :D

(just install today, will test more)

question:

can i mount the phone on desktop (windows 7)?

i can't see the usb mount option
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] batabe:
hi Danielvelez

try the port SuperF.

phone is works (ringing and phoning perfectly) good and looks really fast.

Camera: i haven't found any build, where camera can work
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] capirex89:
Hello...and sorry for my bad english!

I've a Diamond and i would try this rom..what is the best and stable version?

Another question..battery life like?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] infrag:
Tried Froyo and works as described

First the good:

Once its up and running it seems to run fairly fast. Can make and recieve phone calls.

Can join the wireless and run most programs.

I have tried a GPS program but cant get signal inside the house. Will try again from outside.

Connected to my Australian Telstra network.

The bad:

Have had many buggy instances of using the physical keys on my touch diamond. Randomly a button will tell the device to turn off the backlight or shut off like its getting them confused with the power button.

Very happy tester so far!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] slimag:
for start - i've exchanged my g1 for diamond just to have winmo againg but after seeing how android looks on diamond i kinda miss it ;)

i've tried test-cm6 - no signal, no wifi - quite fast and best response time.

then i've tested superF - cant get ip from dhcp over wifi, poor signal, not that fast as cm6..

now i'm testing froyorider (26.07) and its slowest of metioned but 3g and wifi works (although signal is tops at 2 bars, most of times 1bar and i get full signal on wm..)

now downloading cm6rc2 and im hoping it has got 3g, wifi and speed of test ;)

also im experiencing some problem with winmo.. horizontal or vertical bars on random places, blac screen instead of second splashscreen... can this be related to using overclocked android? i havent got any other explanation (but im not an expert)

looking forward to future releases :)

is there any way for formating ext2 and extracting tar.gz to it from windows? i really dont like to reboot system on every test.. maybe some plugin for totalcommander? question for other users because as i understand the author doesnt use windows at all?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bertje_blue:
Kernel Panic while booting in Haret

I get a message Kernel Panic - Not Syncing no init found Try passing init=option to kernel

How can i fix this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bertje_blue:
Ok i extracted the archive on a ubuntu machine like discribed in the instruction.

Now i see a NeoPeek and Android robot .... have to wait just a little longer...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] slimag:
after few tests.. myn's warmdonut is almost usable.. cm6rc2 is far from stable.. desktop seems to be responsive and menu loads fast but after sending sms i was trying to go back to desktop and it took forever.. i can make calls, send and recieve sms, 3g and wifi works like a champ. my problems - mp3 are played from speaker instead of headphones (wired headset) and i cant pair with my a2dp headset (which worked perfectlly on cm5 on my g1)

last but not least.. battery indicator is messed up. it shows 30% (winmo showed 70), after connecting charger it change immediately to "charged" and after reboot to winmo it shows 69%...

otherwise - GREAT WORK, i think when cyanogen release stable 2.2 it will be worth of work to port.

(sorry for my english..)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Blu3skyR4in:
still can't get rid of this msg when i follow all the neopeek step.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] SNaKeRUBIN:
tried ur 18-8-2010 port and have following issues :

1.performance and speed

2.too many 'force close' errors . Even when the phone hasn't started yet.

3.after switching back to WinMo the time goes back by 3:30 hrs.:confused:

but still great release:p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chriscsh:
usb to pc connection, pls check this

http://www.neopeek.com/en/community/groups/viewdiscussion/88-USB+connection+to+PC?groupid=26

but the problem is, if you unmount the device, you will get the error "blank sd card", so you still need to reboot your device
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] diamon-D-ino:

p.s.: if anyone know how i can solve the recharge problem, help me please!!! thanks a lot
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Zommy:
Just installed the new chromatic build. Noticed that it's much slower then the previous froyoredux i used.

I'm not able to answer any phone calls so i'm downgrading back to the old froyoredux again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] febo87:
Hi man, U R great!

I'd like to thank you for this great and really interesting method to try froyo on htc diamond. I've user SuperF firstly, but wi-fi and internet connection were not working, and browser was broken too. Now i'm testing RC2, and everything seems to be fine. The only limit is the speed (superF really goes like hell!!) and the battery, I think also due to lots of apps active at same time... So I wish you the best, and I'm sorry for my bad english! Bye!! ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bertje_blue:
Tried the Cromatic

Speed is fast

working:

3G

WIFI

MARKET

while downloading app from the market i got a spontanious reboot

browser crashes loading a webpage

when will the battery loading and unloading work fine?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Zommy:
Installed SuperF and it's very fast indeed.

Only i miss google/gmail sync. Is there a way to install this seperately?

ah! found out that the data connection is indeed not working so there's no point in installing it :)

It would be great if the speed of this build can be combined with the funcionality of the others :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] barabangel:
From SuperF missing Market....

Where can I download it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] MGA2009:
Using Chromatic release.

Very good looking.

Bugs:

When connected to AC, battery goes to 100% inmediatly.

Browser shuts down after a few seconds of launching.

Performance is good, but sometimes it gets choppy 8I know Diamond is not that great)

So far, great work!! Will try another releases.

Best Regards.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cheesy33:
On my Diamond i have the same Problems, Perfomannce may be better with some overclocking ;-)

Is there a quick fix for the browser problem? I think its in a relationship with some marketplace problems.

Thanks to all devs, I like your work.

Greetings
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dzap:
Okay..I have tried this a billion times now and I cannot install this new build of Android. 18-08-2010 Official and 20-08-2010 Chromatic. Neither will install for me.

I have a Diamond 500 with internal storage only. I have formatted it in Linux..TWICE.

I have tried adding a 32MB and 64MB linux-swap partition. I have formatted my EXT2 partition twice as well.

I formatted my FAT32 partition twice in Linux, a quick format in Windows once, and a full format in Windows once.

I have used the old Haret 1.4 and even the old npkinstall from 8/4/2010. and even mixed them up a bit. The new 1.1 and 1.5 produce the exact same errors.

I have even tried using the regular Diamond start up files, which does nothing but reboot...(hey i'm trying EVERYTHING HERE!!!)

I even have a brand new WM 6.5 ROM (Energy ROM Energy.VICTOR.23128.Sense2.5.Aug.11).

I have been able to install Android (froyoredux-02-08-2010.tar.gz) on 8/4 with no issues.

Now I think I have tried absolutely everything. I have no idea what's going on. I decided to take a picture and see the error codes and maybe you guys can help me out..I think it's because it keeps seeing my Diamond with an sdcard (which it doesn't have) rather than the internal storage that it used to. Any idea how to fix this?

FYI - Quick Status Update:

So, what's going on? CyanogenMod6 RC3 still seems to be a lil bit buggy. After crwaling through Cyanogen's Commits I discovered some kernel issues. So far CyanogenMod6 RC2 is the best build which works on our devices. I played around with addr2line to debug libskia.so more detailed. In the end I had to mix up some other libs to get RC3 working. Now I am waiting for Cyanogen to bring out RC4 or even Final build. There are rumours that the new build should be ready in the next days. According to the nightly builds a lot of things has changed. I could try them all out on my device. Thanx to everyone which have tested my builds so far. As soon as the new RC or Final is out I will port it over so we get stable, too! For now you should pick RC2-Builds (CyanogenMod6 / Froyoredux).

Android on Diamond

Hello,

thank you for this new release! :D

This work fine on my Diamond!

Nevertheless I just go an issue, I have folllowed all the steps and created 3 partitions, but Haret NEVER ask me to choose partition! So it used my FAT32 for the swapfile and for the rest!:mad:

how can i fix this issue?

Thanks in advance,
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bmvanc:
took me awhile to get tis CyanogenMod6-Port to work on my Diamond. At first, I found it very non-responsive and hard to use and almost gave up. However, left it overnight and it speeds up tremenousely -I see a chance to replace the speedy but boring Titanium one day. It works well for most of time, however, a few things needed to be improved. 1. turn on the display is sometimes a challenge. I have to really press and hold the power buttom hard to turn on the display. 2. I have no idea how to turn the display off, not sure if there is a way other than automatic switch off by itself. 3. I wish a better way to kill a program. The back space sometimes takes a while and seems to be stuck at time. 4. it's nice the home buttom will take it back to the home page.

Kudos to your excellent work.
