newby question

what's the meaning of this sentence (from xdandroid.com/wiki/Installation_Guide)

"Booting the System

Currently, the XDAndroid system must be booted while running Windows Mobile, using HaRET in a manner similar to loadlin. That is, it is not currently possible to boot XDAndroid immediately from the BIOS (à la GRUB or LILO). This is because XDAndroid is not currently able to properly initialize all of the hardware devices, and depends on Windows Mobile to do so.[1] " .

so i have to start every time android (very long task it seems) after wm6 normal boot?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Anicane:
Would anyone mind giveing me the link :D cause when i go to that link, there is alot of android roms there, so i dont know which one to choice. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] helicopter88:
You have the choice.

You can go with a lot of bulids

I like cyanogen 6.1,but i have kenia's eclair and kenia's donut bulid

but there are many others bulid here http://www.neopeek.com/en/forum/Android-ROMs

TRansfer Android settings

Hi!

I use your Android releases for a few days only after I install some of your upgrades and releases without a hassle. What I miss there is an application or a manual for transferring settings from one release to another.

Settings of sounds, notifications, accounts, applications, etc. are stored in ext2 which is formatted during npkinstall. So the logic here is a clean install and not an upgrade I guess.

Can you point me to a direction of saving these settings and have a fast restore of accounts, applications, etc. after an npkinstall? (Like XDA_UC or SASHIMI in WM). I'm too lazy to setup everything manually every time and this prevents me for using CM releases all day.

Thanks,

Cina.

Haret boot time

Try dualboot from Gen.Y (see my signature) which can shorten WM6 boot to immediatelly startup haret after WM startup.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cina:
Anyone? Forum abandoned?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] daedric:
Not abandoned.... we're watching.

Now, Android is a battery sucker. Even on devices made to run android, its a sucker :D

And one of the lowest points in the Diamond, is its 900mAh battery... Until the battery driver gets fixed, this is a testing/toy/fun thing. As of this moment, i can user my Kaiser (albeit witha 2800mAh battery as the original one was a waste) for production. Ready ? No... errors and such, but its nearly there....

So we wait, for someone to grab a Diamond and make it Shine like the kaiser does now... :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] anderin:
I love it! But it drains the battery very quickly... It runs fine, but the only way I can use is plugged!

You have done a great work, and I will follow you closely!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cina:
Hi!

Thanks for the reply. I see battery drain on my own and I'm a bit sad about it. Testing is an aim for me too but I have problems with transferring settings and applications. I've found a few threads on backup/restore but wanted to know if someone has an ultimate pinpoint on a great free app to use.

Regards,

Cina.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] daedric:
Don't have much hope though... the Kaiser came with a 1350 mAh battery.

The Raphael came with a similar one as well, the diamond with a 900mAh. the biggest diference between the Diamond and the Raphael, is the Keyboard, and the Camera LED.

Neither of them wastes that much battery (the LED will, if turned on).

So, its perfectly possible to have the Raphael last more than the Diamond, running the same ROM. As i stated before, the Android is a battery freak, and unless we upgrade the bat (and the back cover with it), the Diamond will never last "enough" with Android... it doesn't with Windows :D

Hi to everyone,

i used android in my diamond so i made the partition of the sd.

But now i want to come back to a heavy cooked rom and i need all the 2gb of the internal storage, how can i?

i hope the partition was reversible...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Arqa:
Download and Install MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition. Connect the phone and launch the programm and you will be able to repartition it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] massigale:
thanks for the answer.

i tried, and i tried to format the sd card too, but there's something wrong.

when i open mini tool partition, with diamond linked as usb, the program give me 2 disk(as you can see in the photo), but ths disk 2 (fat32) says is 3.69 gb and the letter of the drive says is "f".....but i really don't know what is this fat32 of 4gb

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

but, as you can see in this other link, my sd card is the letter "g", and the capacity, instead of 2gb, is 0,99!

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

So what i have to do to have the other gigabyte?where is it?

first impression, that is faster then the b4 build :D

2nd, i can't setup my account, in the setting/account, it only allow the setup the exchange, when i put the gmail detail, and get the error :confused:

3rd, why remove the market :(

thanks

Excuse this might to seem noob question what is it that i can get from android that i cant get from windows atm i got diamond i want to change it and i want to know if its better to get HD2 or native andriod phone thanks in advanced for ur inputs
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] neopeek:
As stated on my site where you downloaded I just wanted to get feedback on how the nightly build performa for all of you. Now, good to know that it runs faster for you. I experienced the same. I didn't remove market. Nightly builds just don't include the whole bunch of Google Apps and I didn't had time to make a complete package. You may extract the Google Apps you need from the previous build and mix 'em up with this build. Or you may just wait and I will release a new build with included Apps tomorrow. I will just wait til then to see what others are reporting or if there are any other serious issues / bugs.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] neopeek:
Just put Quadrant-Benchmark onto your Fat32-Partition and there into your AndroidApps-Folder and boot cm6 rc2 30-07-2010 up.

My results:

556

That's higher than a Nexus One! Let me know your sesults. I believe in the end CM6 will be KILLER when the Final / Stable is out...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] imrock:
the speed is superb as compared to any other android port i'hv tried, and this version runs raging thunder 2 but with a very poor frame rate, but still it manages to play while in other builds it didn't even start:):)

New Installation Method [Testers needed]

Ok, I created a new installation method! It will still need an EXT2-Partition. I won't move away from EXT2.

How does the new installer work?

You will have to create an EXT2-Partition. I also started from scratch to re-ensure that everything works from scratch. After creation of EXT2-Partition you don't need to do recreate in future. So this means exactly: Go grab a GParted LiveCD if you have no Linux and that's it. For all my builds and future updates you won't need Gparted-LiveCD or Linux any more. Sounds good ???

I will upload a new package later. The contents of this package must been extracted directly to the root of your internal memory (FAT32) into npkinstall-folder. Then download any of my builds which you want. Rename it to androidinstall.tar.gz then copy it over into the npkinstall-folder and start install.exe from your Phone. That's it. The device will do the magic for you and after it has completed you can start ANDROID by running haret.exe from the root of your memory.

I run 5 tests with htis new method and everything works great. Download available later. Have to spend some time with my wife now...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tudor006:
Wonderful!

Just let us know when.

can't wait!!!

I'm ready to test it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chriscsh:

bluetooth-can't pair my headset

(not sure is that the bt problem, cause even i connect the wired headphone, the sound still come from the phone speaker, not at the headphone?)

battery drain quiet fast

Testing CM6 latest release by neopeek

I use VMWare Workstation and connect Diamond in USB Drive mode (!no activesync!) to the guest OS (Newest Ubuntu x64). It works like a charm. Don't forget to backup your Internal Storage. :)

Tried, not working.

Did you create ext2 on Internal storage? (See for post #1)

I'll just copied every missing apk (do not overwrite existing files!) file from CM6-rc2 /system/apps to the newer release under Ubuntu and after a restart initial setup, google apps, market all worked well. (do not overwrite existing files during copy!)

Willing to test! Sure to download immediately if available.

Latest build is fast but drains battery quickly (4 to 5 hours or so). I'm overclocked so this could be a reason.

In a few moments I'll run Quadrant Benchmark and give my results here.

For battery issues my best get is SetCPU (Read a lot on other forums).

I bump into a lot to "Sorry - you'll have to wait" during downloads and starting up. But in a few minutes it is working o.k. (Sometimes Wait button does not respond)

Quadrant: 482.

Overclocked and Google applications installed. It might have and effect on results, dunno.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] neopeek:
First post updated with Link to new CM6-RC2-Nightly-Build. If you follow the link you will find the new "Neopeek Android Installer" and the instructions on how to use it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] skyhacker:
the installer works great, just tried it, it installed everything flawlessly great work, one thing though with this new build my phone is A LOT slower than it was in the previous build, I have a diamond 100 and am using the overclock startup. And I can't get the USB thethering to work

Any Ideias ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] neopeek:
Glad to hear that the installer works for you!

@All: Nightly Builds are Experimental Mods. You have to see things like this:

Every night on a fixed timeframe Cyanogens builds are automatically packaged and made available for download. So this automatic builds may have bugs...

Just try out another build from me. I will keep up the work. Hopefully others will report feedback on the new installer, too!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] skyhacker:
After my last post I tried installing through ubuntu the "old fashioned way" and the phone got a lot faster, don't know if it had something to do with the installer or not, anyways I just wanted to report two things (I know this is just test but i'm reporting, not complaining) the wifi speed is very slow I tried to download an app from the market and it took ages, could u please (pretty please) post instructions how to connect the android to pc via USB been tryinmg all night without sucess

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] divxmaniak:
about the battery drains?

It could be used with dual boot to have winmo also?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] camporese:
Hi all...

I have now this build in my diamond. It takes 2 times of Haret to boot cause 1rst one make only a reboot. I have 2k mAh battery so i hope battery drain not will be so evident.

1- Signal strenght never reach 3 bar Oo

2- Overclocked startup freeze my phone (need manual reboot)

3- Smoothness is nice considering the age of the phone (and increase using the phone)

Any hint in modification? (i mean under "settings")

I will test wi-fi this night or tomorrow.

GREAT WORK

ps.: i study eng on burundi :)

Hi Vatoloco,

I am from Macao, I have tried your new installer and it works fine for me, thanks & congrats on your great works.

Could I request some changes in the future release:

1. add utf8 option to mount sdcard command in init script, so that the folder named in unicode (Chinese, Japanese and etc) can display correctly:

mount -t vfat -o fmask=0000,dmask=0000,utf8,rw,flush,noatime,nodiratime /dev/block/$partition /sdcard

2. GPS didn't work for my diam100 in your prebuild package, I need to update the latest rootfs to make it work.

Keep it nice work :)

Sorry for my poor engilsh.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] batabe:

so, my experience about the latest: Froyoredux-Port

- 3G works

- wifi works

- phone works

- gps works

- free memory at about 20 MB, if i turn off background data, free mem at about 28-30 MB, and android looks faster. i turned on Compcache and JIT. sometimes i have to wait to load luncher, and sometimes usual waitings. but functionally it looks very good. i try to use this port all day
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] camporese:
