ok for those who are having crashes from setup screen: THIS IS WHAT WORKED FOR ME ON MY BLACKSTONE AND MY WORK WITH OTHER DEVICES!!

OPTION (1)

1) WHEN YOU REACH SETUP SCREEN REMOVE SIM CARD ONLY.....NOT BATTERY!

2) NOW CARRY ON WITH SETUP SCREEN AND SKIP EVERYTHING IT MAY FREEZE FOR 5SEC OR SO JUST WAIT!

3) NOW YOUR AT HOME SCREEN NAVIGATE TO (SETTINGS, WIRELESS & NETWORKS, MOBILE NETWORKS, ACCESS POINT NAME.......CHOOSE YOUR PROVIDER!

4) NOW THAT YOU HAVE PROVIDER AND IT HAS A GREEN DOT TO THE RIGHT OF IT YOU NEED TO POWER OFF YOUR DEVICE!

5) REPLACE YOUR SIM CARD AND POWER UP IN WM AND THEN RUN HARET AND YOU SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO WITH NO FREEZING IF YOU HAVE THE 3G ICON SHOW IN YOUR STATUS BAR AT THE TOP!!

OPTION (2)

THIS REQUIRES SPEED BUT WILL WORK BUT YOU HAVE TO BE FAST YOU MAY HAVE TO REBOOT LEAST 3 TIME BECAUSE IT MAY FREEZE!

BOOT HARET WHEN YOU REACH SETUP SCREEN THIS TIME LEAVE SIM CARD IN BUT TRY TO SKIP EVERYTHING AS QUICK AS U CAN, TO GET TO HOME SCREEN, IF YOU MANAGE TO GET TO HOME SCREEN THATS THE SETUP PROCESS DONE, IF YOUR PHONE FREEZES RESTART IT AGAIN YOU SHOULD BE AT HOME SCREEN THIS TIME, YOU NEED TO GO TO (SETTINGS, WIRELESS & NETWORKS, MOBILE NETWORKS, ACCESS POINT NAME.......CHOOSE YOUR PROVIDER THEN GO BACK 1 THEN GO TO NETWORK OPERATORS AND SELECT AUTOMATICALLY IT WILL SEARCH THEN AFTER 10 SECONDS FREEZE...........REBOOT AND YOU SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO! (NOTE YOU SHOULD DO THIS QUICKLY FROM WHEN YOUR HOME SHOWS HOME SCREEN BECAUSE IT WILL FREEZE WITHIN 40 SECONDS)

i know it alot of messing around but its worth it,........if you want to try this build out because its fast fast fast!!!!!

hope it works for you all
[Touch HD Android Development] welard:
These issues are been delt with ive been told in the nxt update............no camera working at the moment
[Touch HD Android Development] littlewhitedog:
Thank you, that helped.

Now testing other functionalities.

I changed end button mapping to "back home" as it seems it had same mapping as power button initialiy. I also put animations and transitions to fast.

I synchronized my google account and gmail/contacts/agenda are fine.

I'll keep you up to date. But, so far, this is definitely the best versions I ever tested. It is amazingly fast!

This is awesome work!

UPDATE1:

- Wifi : not OK.

This is a shame because as I do not have data plan, it means I can not download apps from the market without wifi, and I would really like to download some apps. I would really appreciate a fix!

- Gallery: OK

- SMS receive and send: OK

- Camera: Not OK

- Music Player: Partially OK because there audio stuttering (note: is this applicable to this version: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905085&page=4)

Update2:

-Wifi is OK (just has to change zImage and modules)

- Market: OK (download apps included)

Update3:

- Screen orientation OK

- Talk OK

So far no freeze or sluggishness. Amazingly fast.
[Touch HD Android Development] TRNSLN:
Everything works perfect! Even the live wallpapers are working! Thanks to the developers...
[Touch HD Android Development] kruijs:
Wow! Can confirm this is a lightning fast version!

Especially WIFI I've never seen so fast on FROYO build, could not believe my eyes, much appreciated!

(note: for some reason added modules and zkernel could not get WIFI to work, tried several things, but in the end changed to latest kernel (1253) and got amazing results!)

Camera would be nice, could you also check if "sound stuttering" is fixed in next build?

(as you probably already know, VirusCrazy managed to disable battery polling during sound playback in test kernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=883966)

Final note: keymapping is still wrong for blackstone, power button can be mapped to home, with long press to latest programs, see also http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=936601

All in all, great start, can't wait to see next steps!

Cheers,

Robbert

TRY USING THE OTHER kernel_module + ZIMAGE IN PACKAGE.........WIFI WORKS FOR ME
[Touch HD Android Development] welard:
All thanks to tiad8 for making it possible on our blackstone!
[Touch HD Android Development] littlewhitedog:
Thanks, it did the trick. I updated my first post and will keep testing!
[Touch HD Android Development] tarmacmaster:
what about the battery ? does it stay alive for more than one day ?
[Touch HD Android Development] littlewhitedog:
I will keep you up to date with the result after this week end. Today is not really a typical day because I rebooted a lot, changed versions this morning.
[Touch HD Android Development] tarmacmaster:
ok ! I'm looking forward to see how much it can stay alive with this FROYO :)
[Touch HD Android Development] moharu:

[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
Same here too. I'm wondering if it's related to being rooted. Total speculation, but a lot of the posters on the Google forum posting do mention custom ROMs.

Add your vote by staring this:

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?hl=en&tid=656acfe72cdf8128

Is anyone 100% stock, never rooted, and having this problem? And is anyone rooted not having this problem?
[EVO 4G General] warmachine69:
The wife is using Fresh Rom on her Hero and it works perfectly...
[EVO 4G General] davidboyd:
I am rooted running MIUI and my download started within 5 seconds of clicking install in the browser.
[EVO 4G General] gomorrah:
I hadnt even thought of using this yet. Logged in, picked a random app, and it downloaded to my phone instantly on CM7. :cool:
[EVO 4G General] lopezpm:
No issues here. Running CM7#24 and market 2.2.11

Edit: awe crap, you said market website. Sorry. I was talking about market app. Still haven't tried the market website.
[EVO 4G General] Drewmungus:
What kernel are you running? Any themes or anything else that could change something? Also what build are you using? When was the last time you flashed a Rom? What did you have for breakfast?:)

Sorry for the 10 million questions, but it would be cool if we could narrow down whats causing it.
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
I have the terrible "no device is associated" error
[EVO 4G General] gimmetaffy:
Was unable to download from the website with CM6 and market 2.2.7. Installed a market 2.2.11 zip...voila problem solved.
[EVO 4G General] xfullmetal17:
Using an unrroted Evo the downloads start almost instantly. It might be related to being rooted though...
[EVO 4G General] jokester902:

[EVO 4G General] bigmoogle:
Just tried and the market began downloading immediately.

Miui with stock kernel. Hw003.
[EVO 4G General] godgib:
I have had this problem come up a few times and it seems to me there is something getting stuck, however once I turn on WIFI the programs stated downloading instantly, then after that it seems to come unstuck... I started having this problem when i turned off the Enable aways-on mobile data, to save battery. So I offer this as a solution only becuase it has worked for me... That is download it via Wifi to get it unstuck and then try it via 3G or 4G...
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
I wiped everything last night (for a few reasons, not just this), and it cleared up the problem for me. I'm still on myn RLS5, as I was before when it wasn't working.

I restored all my apps + data, and a handful of system data (Phone contacts, Browser data, and some other stuff).

One thought I had was that maybe Google Talk data needs to be cleared? I think that's related to how the downloads are pushed to the phone. I didn't try that before I wiped.
[EVO 4G General] w84mike:
Same thing I got when I tried it.

Edit: Interesting. After reading posts above, I installed Google Talk, which I never had before, logged into it, then went to the market website and now it recognizes my phone.
[EVO 4G General] nuvens:
Downloads and installs fine on my mikfroyo Evo.
[EVO 4G General] starplaya93:
If your on wifi try turning it off and download through 3g...

I can't believe google took away appbrains ability to do this even though they had it first. Not to mention their UI was much better looking and a lot smoother to use...

That's ridiculous. Easily on par with some of the ways apple has screwed its developers...
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
Works great for me, downloads begin near instantaneously. Running MIUI 1.1.28.
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
Actually, I don't think this was a direct response to AppBrain. Someone pointed out that if an app had the right permissions to do so, it could install apps from the market without prompting for permissions. AppBrain was using this ability responsibly, but a malicious app could have itself installed with relatively benign sounding permissions and then install an app with permissions much more risky, but without prompting the user. That app could then do what it pleases. Closing that hole required blocking what AppBrain was doing. Now, I can't say what Google's position on AppBrain was and whether they were happy to kill that off as well. But I don't think it was their main intent.

Now, that being said, I didn't understand why AppBrain didn't continue using push notifications, but instead load up the install page to let the user review permissions and install. That would have been much better. And for that matter, I have a small amount of concern that Google is going the silent install route. If anyone came up with a way to spoof the messages from Google that trigger installation, they could do the same thing that caused concern around the mechanism for what AppBrain did. I think it'd be far more secure to prompt the user to review permissions and accept the install directly on their device, rather than relying on a permissions review from the web site alone.
[EVO 4G General] bunndda:
Rooting is NOT a problem. Google Talk is.

Rooted devices ARE supported. No problem. The only problem is if you freeze/uninstall Google Talk. That is needed to send apps from the market to your phone using your pc.

Google Talk Service and Storage are needed.

I have figured it myself because I had the same problem after freezing many unwanted things.
[Droid X General] Sheen160:
Well the title pretty much explains it. I bought the cord but liberty doesn't support it. What roms do and is there any way to get it on liberty or fission. Please and thank you :D

[Droid X General] SaurusX:
Yes, but be sure to switch to the blur gallery first. HDMI won't work from the AOSP gallery.
[Droid X General] sabrosolatino:
REAL HDMI

I think in the android Market there is an apps call it "REAL HDMI" that allow all screen see it in the TV.
[Droid X General] WACOMalt:
RealHDMI is great, but will not work unless the Rom explicityly has HDMi working already.

RealHDMI doesn't work on liberty, or fission.
[Droid X General] racingglock35:
Any idea if fission supports HDMI?
[Droid X General] btucker2003:
It does not... try apex. Its the bees knees!
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Any rom with blur will support HDMI. Fission doesn't work but there is a very similar one called fusion that should. Other than that there's apex, rubix blurry and many others. Just look around for blur roms

[Fascinate General] Grimis:
How many people actually use this app and is it really a good thing to use? Just wondering about it because I notice it's in most roms and launcher downloads. I've personally never tried it. What are the pros and cons?
[Fascinate General] mrjake1970:
ive been using google voice for quite a while, both on my PC and on my phones.. works seemlessly with the SF..

its a matter of preference.. and convenience for me...i can call out using either my cell number or my google voice number.. voicemail is SO much better, and it not only translates to text, but at the bottom of the text there is a play button to hear it..

the only con i can report is that sometimes the text translation of the voicemail is a bit off..but you can still get a good idea of what the message is without actually having to listen to it..

im a huge google voice fan..
[Fascinate General] Grimis:
Does it cost extra to use it?
[Fascinate General] bskidz79:
It's free to use, unlike Verizon's Visual Voicemail which costs X amount of dollars per month. I was skeptical of Google Voice at first but I've really liked it for the month or so I've used it.
[Fascinate General] Grimis:
Thanks, I'll give it a try.
[Fascinate General] Falcyn:
I'm honestly not exaggerating when I say this: there are no cons to using Google Voice (I can't see how less-than-perfect voicemail transcription is a con since you don't get any voicemail transcription normally). Like Gmail, this is a service that's been universally lauded by the press and consumers alike for good reason.

BUT: it's not just an app on the phone that you run instead of Verizon's VVM app. It's a true telephony service, and if that sounds kind of complicated, well, in some ways it is, though Google makes it extremely easy to use (whether you just want to use it as a voicemail service, or to effectively replace your regular phone number(s) entirely).

Google has a great site that explains it all better than any of us can, so I'd suggest starting there:

http://www.google.com/googlevoice/about.html

Or here if for whatever reason you can't watch the videos:

[Fascinate General] b13axle:
I love my Google Voice. Best vm I've ever used
[Fascinate General] mrjake1970:
The other part of the setup i have that i love is the seemless integration of computer and phone with bluetooth.

I spent about $80 on a blueant earpiece that allows multiple connections, and a $16 dongle from best buy for the computer.

When the phone rings, i can answer via the computer or the phone. I have had exactly 1 dropped call since i started using GV in July.

I was afraid of Google for the longest time because of privacy. Then i realized they know everything about me anyway from using search. Once i started trying more of their products i was hooked. Now i have everything Google on computer and obviously phone too.

My life is easier with the integration and they just plain have cool stuff Lol.
[Fascinate General] bartorob:
I have used google voice since for 6 months. I started on my BB and now use it on my Fascinate. I have friends with regular phones that use it as well, all of which love it. I haven't heard of anyone complaining or going back.
[Fascinate General] Pfredd:
Just so folks know, you can choose to only use the Voicemail portion of Google Voice. You do not have to use it to make or receive calls...
[Fascinate General] Gareee:
the problem I had with google voice is it wanted to take over my entire phone. their forums you're pretty much worthless. Is there a link with good setup instructions?
[Fascinate General] Crashspeeder:
There is only one downside I see to Google Voice and that's the fact that it can't send or receive MMS. Is it a big deal? Not unless you exclusively use your Google voice number to call and text people.
[Fascinate General] onemotodroid:
gv is a great product

i have my voicemails sent to my gmail account as txt

when at work my phone is on silent but I get all my personal messages
[Fascinate General] Cali3350:
Google Voice, the entire service, is unfortnent as you must use a different number than your cell number (which if youve had for 5 years is... bad).

You CAN however use GV for voicemail with your current number, which lets you have the free visual voice mail/speech to text translations without needing a new number.
[Fascinate General] spotmark:
Adding your Google Voice number as one of your Friends & Family numbers equals free calls.
[Fascinate General] erics88:
I love using GV for free texting. I've had my number for a few years. Worked great on AT&T/Blackberry Bold.

But with Verizon/FV I've noticed when receiving call or placing call with my GV#, there seems to be a 1/2 second delay when talking. Really started to annoy me, felt like a overseas call, so I stopped using my GV# as my everyday phone #.
[Fascinate General] PJnc284:
yeah, if they get mms working, I'm dumping my texting plan.

Only if you actually dial your gv number and then enter the number you want to call. If you use the app, it dials another number that changes periodically. And you only get free incoming if you disable caller id pass-through.
[Fascinate General] Skrazz:
Just jumped on the GV bandwagon after reading this thread. I've made a few calls with my sweet new Beverly Hills number. I'm sure i'll think of creative ways to use it. VVM will likely be its primary function, though. It's my understanding that GV uses your data connection for calls, correct?
[Fascinate General] spotmark:
Correct. The way I do it is, I access GV using my phone's browser, then I dial a number through that. It will ring my cell phone using my GV number, and then connect me to the person I'm calling.
[Fascinate General] ace5198:
can i use google voice on wifi.. ive tried but it just says dialing??? and how do i geta google voice number.. i have the app.. but it asks for my goolge voice number so i just type in my vzw number and i cant call
[Fascinate General] gardndj:
Free texting is why I switched entirely to GV. Had all my contacts moved to my new number within a month, basically sent out a mass text and that was that. I actually made the switch when I was on winmo 6 devices - anyone who has attempted that knows what a clusterf*** that was. Android makes it so tightly integrated that you barely notice. Life is good.
[Fascinate General] exzacklyright:
I make all my calls / texts now through google voice. My only hunch is that I can't add a contact to a specific group in google voice when adding a new contact. I only show certain contacts and so until I add them manually to a group they don't show up on my phone :mad:

It's unfortunate because even through the google voice app you can't manage your contacts.
[Fascinate General] gardndj:
Go into the contact app on your phone and choose Menu> Display Options. Under "Choose Contacts to Display" make sure that "system group: my contacts" is checked in the Google drop down. Any contact you add to your google account through your phone is automatically added to this group.
[Fascinate General] exzacklyright:
Yeah I know... the thing is I don't want all my contacts showing at once... I live like half the time in one state and half the time in another. I just turn off all the other contacts from the state i'm not living in from displaying because I'll never even be texting them but it seems turning them all on is the only remedy.
[Fascinate General] gardndj:
Ahh that would make sense. So basically you want to specify the google group when you add a new contact. So you're (currently) SOL. Can you edit your groups directly on your phone?
[Fascinate General] exzacklyright:
Yeah that's right. If there was an option to put a contact into a google group that'd be great. You can't even edit contacts though through the google voice app nor on the mobile site though I believe.
[Fascinate General] gardndj:
We can't edit groups in our contact app, but appears that you can in the Captivate. It doesn't seem like it can be ported to the fascinate though. You could try the Memorize contact app which is in rom manager, maybe it has this functionality as well?
[Fascinate General] elarson006:
I'm sure it's been mentioned, but the free texting is amazing. We pay 30 bucks a month for data and then have to pay more for SMS? BS... Anyways you can send texts to any number via google voice for free from handset or CPU, and receive them as well. The only caveat is that you need a data connection.

no reason NOT to have google voice!
[Fascinate General] Grimis:
The setup instructions are confusing :( on Google site.
[Fascinate General] Grimis:
Does it matter not having unlimited text messages with google voice texting?
[Fascinate General] gardndj:
It depends on how you set it up. If you choose to text entirely through the android google voice app or the google voice web site then those messages are sent as normal data packets and not as standard text messages. Therefore, there is no need for a sms plan (I text exclusively through google voice and have no Verizon sms plan).

You could also set google voice to forward texts to you mobile number so that they appear in the normal messaging app on your phone. Any texts sent/received this way would count against your sms plan. Hope that helps.
[Fascinate General] froalskiner:
GV works fairly well for me however there is a definite lag to actually start. For example, if I am home and have both home and cell set to ring, I'll get through 3 rings on the house phone before I'm able to answer my phone.
[Fascinate General] ilogik:
I LOVE GV, i give out the GV number to all of my girlfriends and have it automatically route their calls to voicemail at 5:30pm which is about the time I get home to the wife and kids. And it routes my calls to the cell at 6am when I leave for work.
[Fascinate General] mcgratey:
Check out the voice plus app in the marketplace. Use it in conjunction with google voice. You can set up rules for dialing.

I use my GV for mainly work so I can disable the number on my cell on weekends and evenings. Friends and family I use my verizon number. But both go to gv voice mail.
[Fascinate General] Grimis:
This helped a lot! I was uncertain and yesterday sent about 300+ text to my nephew helping him root his Droid.
[Fascinate General] Grimis:
LMAO
[Fascinate General] SuckerPunch:
This is what I'm trying to do. I want to take advantage of the visual voicemail or voicemail transcription service that GV offers. So far, I haven't had any luck getting it to work, though. I went through the setup wizard and got a GV# (225-xxx-xxxx) but I want to get voicemails from my cell # (318-xxx-xxxx) to show up in GV and I'm not sure how to make that happen. There was a prompt to dial *71xxxxxxxxxx and configure the phone, but all I got was "This call cannot be completed as dialed." Has anyone had any luck switching their voicemail service for their cell # to GV?
