My experience

I had first installed am xamdroid 2.1 version some months ago, but, it was a battery monster.

When I saw there were new versions out, damn, I had to try and see!

First off, I have worked with Linux plenty before, so I had no trouble making the ext2fs partition on the device. I am sure its way over the 300Mb recommended and its the second partition on the file-system (on my laptop, it was /dev/sdc2)

After that, I tried to follow the steps the best I could but I get this error after booting install.exe on the npkinstall:

mke2fs: cannot determine if /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 is mounted

(...)

expanded all files from

Link: Chromatic-Port Latest-Release 20-08-2010 (Base: RC3) -> (Latest release 20-08-2010! Great looking Release. Chrome-Style. I need testers, now!!!)

(...)

then error on line 38 installsys something, was too fast for me to notice.

it restarted, and I plugged it on the linux machine to make sure it had failed, but then, there it was, surprise, the ext2fs partition was not empty! It had installed all nice and good!

Then I started Android normally, all was good. All cept 3G/HDSP I could only connect to the internet through wifi. Did a couple moves arround, tweaked a bit, made a phone call, all good and nice, aaand reboot.

When I started, it was great, really fast startup, I activated the swap partition prior to boot haret, might have something to do with it, 3g connected automatically, all looks really good! I think this time, I wont go back to windows mobile 6.5! :D

Now, a few questions:

1st how can I check if swap is working?

2nd I need a putty style terminal to connect to my irc/msn client

3rd Is there a work-arround for when the device is locked and I get the black screen? Besides clicking it ofc.

Update:

After turning 3G off, and restarting, now I cant get connected to 3G is there a way to turn it back on? I wont use android if the cell can only access internet through wifi lol...

Any of these ports have solved the issues with Diamond battery usage? I mean does it last more than like 24 hours? That is the minimum amount for me to be able to use the port on a daily basis...

Slow and sluggish??

Hi..

I have set up the last build on a Diamond, but it is very slow.

When the phone is in sleep, and someone calls, it takes 3-4 seconds until i'm able to pick up the call. Most of the time the display stays black and i can't see who's calling.Then the other person can't hear me for another 4-5 seconds and usually hangs up before we even have spoken....

To wake the phone from sleep i push the "top button" and i have to swipe across (unlock) the display while still black. Then it comes back on most of the time.

I am also unable to import a certificate file for my exchange server. This is a .cer file and is easily imported in other Android builds. When trying to import it says: No certificate on SD". When browsing with AndExplorer, the file is there.

I have to add that this is a stock phone, with stock WM [nor] and stock Radio.

My phone i usually use is at the repair shop and will stay there for 2-3 weeks. This Diamond phone is a loaner, so i probably should not f**k about too much with it ;-)

Thank you for using your free time to make Android work on these WM phones. Great work :-)

what is nand on diamond please? what does it do?

thank you!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jordan_hung:
First of all,thanks for everything you share with us.

I've installed the last version and everything seems perfect for me except Market.It

always shows downloading.I've read all replies and figured out that I need to connect

the internet by via data,but what I have is wifi only.Is there any other ways to solve this problem or

you already fixed it by your latest version?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] neopeek:
The market issue has been fixed several weeks ago. You have to use the latest version!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Zee_13:
Tried this on my old Diamond. At first i was really impressed. I used the overclocked "startup.txt" and downloaded SetCPU and configured it to always be 614Mhz when the screen was on and 128Mhz when its off. Everything worked. Now, for now reason, I get this error "com.google.process.gapps" has crashed..... It happens randomly but mostly when Im on the market. I cant downloaded anything.

Any idea what could have caused this?

EDIT: Also, is there any way I can overclock it further? To lets say...650Mhz?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] helicopter88:
Basically nand with android would completely wipe out windows mobile

So faster android and faster android boot,easier to modify and we could get the ability to use mass storage mode in usb (in some rom there is yet)

Hi, i want to say that CM6 is ok, but... When I want to call somebody, screen is turning off, I can talk with somebody but I can't finish talk by press red phone button! And major thing is - screen won't turning on! I must restart my device (Diamond). Is there any solution?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] smx11:
Try to click on the button unlock (even if you don't see it, just put your finger on the place where the unlock button should be) wait for the little vibration and then the screen appears. this works for me.

Can anyone share some info on battery life with the latest release?

Yes, I agree, this info may be the most important !

Vatocolo, is it possible to post battery life for each version?

Thank you
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] EnricoTV:
Hi Vatoloco,

is it possible tu put Sense UI on this ROM??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cheesy33:
I found a sense-like theme in the forum on neopeeks-website. But it has some problems. Maybe there is somebody who knows about adw-launcher configuration and themes, who can optimize it for this build.

I find this thread with more information here on xda-developers: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=784116

Please, how is battery state for this?

TIA
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] slkdk:
I have now follow the tutorial (and yes, I have done the partitions right (all three primary)).

The funny thing though, when partitioning is done, the Android, ext2 and linuxswap partition disappears in Minitool program - I now have one Fat32 partition size 3,69GB (used 1,66GB) (I guess thats 1GB for the Android partition, 600MB for the ext2 and 64MB for swap).

When I plug my Diamond into my computer via USB, the Android drive shows. I guess the partitioning went fine?

I have a danish Diamond with 4GB internal, and I have chosen the right startup files.

It installs fine, but the part2 when to run Android with HARET.EXE - it loads HARET.EXE and the just reboots the phone into WinMO again.

Any ideas?

Best regards
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] helicopter88:
Run install.exe before haret.exe

If the install process goes good(see the files being extracted),minitool got crazy
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] slkdk:
I did install before running HARRET.EXE

I have now repartitioned and redone the procedure. I think I chose diamond.txt and in Startups chose Diamond500 (whoops).

Will report back in few minutes.

EDIT: Yep, works now ;) (my bad).

Best regards

Isnt WIFI working?

It wont connect to my wireless :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dala11:
Yeah I have the same problem..

The rom is much faster compared to previous beta's but the wifi will scan and find the network, but will not be able to connect to the network..

Have tried the latest kernel from xdandroid, but it didn't make a difference..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tatarogul:
Hi

ohh! yet I install on my device. Very enyoj.,

But Baterry drain very fast in my device. ( 6 hours=
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] slkdk:
Got the wireless to work (my own fault / router).

But this release runs so much slower than 2.1!

Dowloading a single item from Market (for ex. ~ 2MB) takes about 10min on my 10Mbit wireless connection! And when it downloads = disk activity = nothing else is working. Just browsing Market is almost impossible.

Anyone with the same experience?

Had to switch back to WinMo :(

Best regards
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] XorPP:
Congratulations for your work, really!

But how can someone call this a "final version", if battery drain's too fast, wifi only works sometimes, and camera doesn't work !?!?!?

I would call it an "Alpha version". Not even Beta :)

But i apreciate all the effort! Really! It's amazing! Keep the good work !!

I Tried in my diamond, the BAREBONE release that i got in this link:

[Barebone]CyanogenMod6.1-Minim​um-System 10-10-2010 on Neopeek.com

All thinks got worked, Wifi, bluethoot, 3G, but some things had to be removed like he says in post, for me the battery, and all connections are stable, and the system fast. I opened all programs like read in another post a than reboot the phone, simple and easy to do.

Its running pretty fast, and smooth.

wow.. this is very exciting. so how good is this? GPS, Wifi etc all work? Does the screen still work in 640x480?

Any known bugs? How easy is it to revert if you dont like it? is it fast and usable? or is the touch diamond not up to it hardware wise?

Hi,

this is my first post so let me say:

- Thanks for this great site

- Thanks to all passionate cookers

- Thanks to Vatoloco for this wonderfull Android Froyo for Diamond!

I tried this release but, using my H3G USIM, I cannot surf in internet.

Neither I cannot detect the H3G network.

I never had this problem using the WM6.5 ROM.

Hi,

I just installed the very latest version of the CyanogenMod6 (build on the 25th of Oct.).

It's running quite smooth and well but I've encountered these issues until now, maybe someone can help me:

- plugging in my wired headset (that works flawlessly in WinMo, it's the genuine HTC adapter) doesn't switch to the headset. Audio/Music is still played via the speaker. How can I play music via the wired headset?

- unplugging the Diamond from the charger and locking the display still shows the charging animation (like in WinMo). However, actually charging the phone doesn't produce this animation. Is there any way to disable this behaviour or make it similar to WinMo?

Thank you for updating this thread with the latest information :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] daedric:
Hello! First of all let me thank you for these Android builds. I'm using the latest Froyo (25/10). I have to say, after using 10000 version on my kaiser, none as come to this level of stability. I second all others on the battery issue, but hey... kaiser was pretty foobar'ed on this issue.

I really don't miss the camera, its pointless actually... but there's something... wrong.

When i'm downloading from the market... the device gets really SLOW! crawl actually, and its OC to 620... IIRC. I figure this might be a small bug, and the logs actually state MANY "DMA miss" with audio i think... but can't be sure.

In any case, congrats on a excelent, easy to install Droido! :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Horo86:
Thank you very much for your work! The best android that I've try on my diamond.

How I can solve the problem?

where to put rootfs?

hi neopeek,

sorry for a newbie question,

I was trying to load Android using XDAndroid before I found your new installer.

Could you tell me where to put a new rootfs if I want to use a new one specially the remapped Keys for the home buttons? or is it necessary. All I found in the installer are modules and initrd files.

Thanks and Godspeed..:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] snowinder:
i think the only problem is the battery! 6-7 hours is too less for a daily use...

however this android rom is very stable and fast!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] daedric:
Stable ? Yes... no errors... no lock outs... or very few at least.

Consistent? No. Its pretty inconsistent. Example, i have a kaiser running beside this diamond. In the kaiser, i can go to the market, and download 6/8 apps at once.

On the diamond, after the first dl, bye bye. Oh... and don't let it shutdown... or else you'll have a hard time make the screendriver READ your finger swipe on the screen, before the timeout :D

The battery has the same problem as with the kaiser. It lasts less, and the driver is inconsistent, this is worse on the diamond, as in... i've see 100%.. 93%... 5%... 30%... 2%... shutoff.

There's also a random sluggishness here and there... can't actually pinpoint the cause... perhaps the DMA miss on the dmesg... dunno... not a expert.

Still... android on this highres smallscreen, ROCKS! Congrats to the Cookers/Brewers :D
