Just copy all files to your SD card and run the haret exe from the file explorer on your HDmini
[HD Mini Android Development] xicofixas:
Network Technology->GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

HSDPA 900 / 2100

WIFI/WLAN -> Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g

hard to find very specific hardware specs, i hope those are relevant although they are easy to know.

To try android on your phone, you must unpack the Cotulla_PHOTON_AD_Users.rar and then put all the files on your memory card ROOT, then just go on your file manager (on the phone) and star HARET_PHOTON7227.exe and wait.
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
great job cotulla!

my god :-) it is impossible to work on this thread, if noobs are asking how to run haret every 5 minutes!

to have an idea of the MSM7227 hardware, check here:

http://avs234.net/docs/cpu/qualcomm...AINING_INTRODUCTIONS_AND_CHIPSET_OVERVIEW.pdf

battery is similar to Aria, as specified here:

http://www.htcaccessories.com.au/BA_S430.aspx

maybe the battery chip responsible of handling battery is different from Aria, maybe its just a minor setting... but be careful with battery, we are using Li-Ion batteries that can inflate and explode if the power management is not properly done.
[HD Mini Android Development] pwel:
separate page for noobs?

Shall we make a new thread for noobs? And a separate for the development?
[HD Mini Android Development] panzercool:
OMG !! Android for The Mini !! Thanks a trillion Cotulla !! Hope other dev's will work and finalize this !!:)
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
i think only a thread for developers will be enough

noobs and newcomers will continue post on this thread I guess

"Haret: Booting Linux ..."

Waiting ...... this is starting to make long! : S
[HD Mini Android Development] xicofixas:
This is not the final full working version so those who run it just do it to try it out, i think thats not a reason to start making tutorials or video tutorials, and in my opinion there isn't anything more simple than putting all files on the memory card and run one file from the phone.

Lets not focus on that because without a full working OS you cant really enjoy most of the phone.
[HD Mini Android Development] yakamoz:
Guys, please do not spam this thread, simply copy ALL FILES to your SD-CARD/ and simply run Haret.

I am trying to find a way to create an own system.ext2 and an own zImage since 3 hours, but had no result. Does anyone know how to create an zImage+system.ext2 file out of an existing ROM (exspecially the one from HTC Gratia)? I am now installing Ubuntu to explore/edit system.ext2 by mounting it, maybe it is possible to add some drivers like WiFi, etc. ...
[HD Mini Android Development] Adrien95120:
no it's not difficult, but when I made the phone does not respond as if it was freezing! :confused: why?
[HD Mini Android Development] pwel:
had the same at first, cleaned sd root folder (there appeared to be a lot of tmp files) soft reset and then it was running well.took lrss than 5min.
[HD Mini Android Development] krook6023:
Nope!!

I am glad this project has came this far. I don't have a HD Mini, but this is a HUGE first step...now someone needs to continue the development.

We are looking into the best way to organize the forum...I have no clue what will happen...but we are looking into your request. :)
[HD Mini Android Development] Adrien95120:
I have not deleted everything and nothing changes so I gave up ^ ^

I do not care pence change while moving so the HTC HD mini is a very good phone but in 2011 there will have really super thank you anyway: D
[HD Mini Android Development] mqd:
how do you clean your sd root

i have try

hard reset

re update rom

formate via pc

clean all hidden folder

but nothing i can boot
[HD Mini Android Development] keongam:
Well done !

Thank you very much Cotulla.

I hope somebody will continue your great job.

On this case, you can say you are the one.

See you soon....
[HD Mini Android Development] pwel:
clean means manually throwing away files.

If you really have done a hard reset and formatted the SD card (in FAT32 I hope?) then is should work. If not, then I don't know it anymore:confused:
[HD Mini Android Development] pwel:
mmm, in my case also the music player does not see the SD card?

Who does have a working SD card?
[HD Mini Android Development] mqd:
:(yes :s

hard reset

fat 32 for formate

fresh download of file

only freeze

maybe a probleme with the sd i cant formate on device it say formate error with resco and an other soft called formate
[HD Mini Android Development] newto:
many thanks Cotulla...

the main reason why this android on mini is the ability to have android and winmo together.

great job.

thanks a lot.
[HD Mini Android Development] pwel:
Do you have possibility to use another SD card?
[HD Mini Android Development] bruce2728:
Cant access sd card but the music library appears to be able to
[HD Mini Android Development] xicofixas:

How To

Test and monitor the development of Android on HTC HD Mini(photon)

I am not a participant in the development. this post is here to invite all who have the HTC HD mini and want to have a parallel to the WM Android on it, to join in this project

This is just the beginning, there is still much to be works ... but you will need to exercise

How To

1 - Some SD cards have difficulty working. Use old Class 2 SD (min. 1 GB) and format to FAT32

2 - Download Cotulla_PHOTON_AD_Users.rar

Mirror 1 http://netripper.com/photon/Cotulla_PHOTON_AD_Users.rar

Mirror 2 http://www.multiupload.com/RS_JQV692NKNG

Mirror 3 http://www.bb-projects.de/Cotulla_PHOTON_AD_Users.rar

3 - You MUST unzip all files inside folder USER to the ROOT of the Storage Card

4 - Run "HARET_PHOTON7227.exe" and it should start.Screen won't be changed for a while (stop at haret launch moment)

Then it should connects via USB to PC and show boot logos.Full first boot can take about 10 minutes. Be patient and wait.

If you want to exit Android and go back to Windows Mobile, then you need to restart phone

Status:

http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=PhotonStatus

PS: Format your card with this tool http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/ (format to FAT32)

PS2: thanks pwel
[HD Mini Android Development] pwel:
If you unzip the downloaded file, there is a folder inside called "users". Don't put this folder in the root of your SD, but put the files inside this folder in the root of your SD!
[HD Mini Android Development] 15MA1L:
I corrected it. Thanks!
[HD Mini Android Development] theerayut:
Hi

I doing same you information

1. Format sd card to fat32

2.Copy file inside user folder and copy to storage card

3.Press "HARET_PHOTON7227.exe" and the boot screen start and then the screen constant

I don't know this step it use time so long or not

4.I ever connect Pda to PC but the PC see 1 drive

Thang a lot if have some body clear this step
[HD Mini Android Development] 15MA1L:
Need a little patience. Try again but pay attention to the order! Means connected mobile with the PC when you have to appear boot screen. and wait he'll need maybe 10 minutes.
[HD Mini Android Development] theerayut:
Hi

I want to know between to appear boot screen other function ex. volume,Phone,Switch on-off screen can use or not because wait about 25 min the screen not thing happen.Please let me know.

Thank you very much and sorry to ask many time.I want to use android with WM.
[HD Mini Android Development] mqd:
yes it work with an other sd card i hope all can found a working sd card
[HD Mini Android Development] yeubacgiang:
what kind of micro SD card did you use?
[HD Mini Android Development] mqd:
1st Sd are asandisk 1Gb ---> dont work :s

2nd Sd are a samsung 2Gb ----> tada Work :D
[HD Mini Android Development] oregon69:
SD CARD

Hi, if it does not work the problem is the SD card. Without test Sandisk 2 GB but does not work. 8GB Sd Apache or other cheaper works fine! Strange but true.
[HD Mini Android Development] theerayut:
Oh my god!!!

SD Card original of my phone is Scandisk 2GB

it mean can not install android?

So sadly
[HD Mini Android Development] Adrien95120:
I managed: O but I have no internet cons normal?
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
Notes about future development:

All GPIOs looks same in PHOTON & LIBERTY.

Only 192Mb RAM used for now. Additional RAM can be activated.

Battery driver doesn't work, heave difference between PHOTON & LIBERTY.

GSensor doesn't work, looks like it's problem of userspace android library.

Calls are working, data (GPRS) - not. It maybe big problem to implement DATA connection.

WLAN also not working somehow.
[HD Mini Android Development] newto:
the probem you are facing is caused by the memory card you're using. it's weird but it's true. it happened to me so i changed the card and voila :P
[HD Mini Android Development] pwel:
It seems that the sd card shows up as a folder on the system memory called: sdcard. So the memory is available and accessible but not known as an sd card by the system.
[HD Mini Android Development] xicofixas:
Where is the system memory :confused:
[HD Mini Android Development] pwel:
I call it system memory but maybe that is wrong. run the browser Astro and you will find the folder sdcard.
[HD Mini Android Development] theerayut:
Hi

Today i go to buy SD Card because old SD Card it Scadisk 2GB and after change to Kington 2GB it OK and now very happy.

:)
[HD Mini Android Development] xicofixas:
How did you manage to install an app (in this case astro)?
[HD Mini Android Development] MobileMini:
Astro is preinstalled.
[HD Mini Android Development] xicofixas:
Crap, i cant find it, not even by searching for it :confused:
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
do you use android 2.1 or 2.2?

because Astro is only on 2.2 ..
[HD Mini Android Development] xicofixas:
i'm using the one that Cotulla published, the other (2.2) one is for Devs :\

Cotulla's android is 2.1 so no luck for me.

Thanks.
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
go here ;)
[HD Mini Android Development] xicofixas:
Thanks, i will try it ;)
[HD Mini Android Development] theerayut:
Why function call have problem mean i can listen but when i say directy opposite can not listen me. Please let me know
[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
This is normal. Android for HD Mini is in DEVELOPMENT STAGE.

Read the first post!
[HD Mini Android Development] xicofixas:
when i load the 2.2 it shows a message saying the process com.android.settings ended in an unexpected way, is there any way to fix this easily ?
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
must be something wrong with the archive,here runs without errors
[HD Mini Android Development] SoParanoid:
sorry,

but once launched the exe could I return to the original status or I need an Hard Reset?

Thanks
[HD Mini Android Development] xicofixas:
Can you please confirm if this are the files that you copied to the sdcard?

thank you

if you mean original status by returning to windows just turn off and turn on again the phone, and its done.
[HD Mini Android Development] mehdiaraghi:
Confuse

When I run the Haret.exe my red and green light start flashing, what should I do?

Yes. In the first post of this thread you find 2.1

And here you find 2.2 (Froyo)

Have you read both threads?
[HD Mini Android Development] pwel:
If you have v2.2, then you put the apk files on sdcard and open astro explorer. Then click the apk file and it starts application installer.

how to test gps

According to the status overview, the GPS function should work. How can I test it? I have tried copilot 8.2 but it does not run because the android system does not see an SD card. Anyother application that could be useful? Or is there a way to make Android know there is an SD card?

[HD Mini Android Development] iPlasm:
Hi everyone,

Let me talk about my htc HD on Android, and with a 8GB (MicroSD)

First of all, the Phone is plugged to PC (WM Sync).

And then pressed on HaRET by Phone's Explorer, it show's progress and on PC show a one message [HTC Android Phone USB], after that I waited for about 2 Hours (not minutes), after that, the phone shows HTC then AT&T anime, after that, the Android begins.... and it's Slow!, and at second time when I press HaRET needs 29 Minutes to begin Android. the Data is also created 256MB.

So the Problems... is:

1- it's Slow first time, needs to be Faster.

2- The SD Card, too Important, cant take pictures or anything else.

3- Battery and LED.

4- G-Sensors or Sensor.

and I can say it's Good, Thanks for who maked up!

How about you Others?

Do you think my problem of Slow, is my SD Card? Thanks
[HD Mini Android Development] MobileMini:
Using 8GB Sandisk micro SDHC (Class 2) here. No problems, good performance.

Startup within a few minutes. Other problems you name are known problems.
[HD Mini Android Development] fatslim:
even the first time it only took like 30 seconds to load android. Very fast, dont know he was talking about. Only thing the third or fourth time i launched andorid, it draind my battery very quickly, and the back cover was war lil bit hot. Even though it is faster then winmo. The camera picutre was a bit bad if you moved it around. in additon to the other problems that are currently :)

Thanks, cant wait til the real deal is out :) good luck devs :)
[HD Mini Android Development] iPlasm:
Ok, About waiting it's too much, that's right. and the 8GB MicroSD seems to be good.

But do you think if I reinstall the WM, then the HaRET will load faster?

Or I did wrong of installing android?

like that exactly right?:

1- Copy the extracted files to the root of SD Card (without the User folder).

2- USB to PC, the ActiveSync is selected (not Disk Drive).

3- Run Phone's Explorer, and tap on HaRET, and on PC shows only one {HTC Android USB} message.

4- wait until HTC & AT&T, and starts Android.

Did I did Wrong or not? Thanks... :)

can you take pictures or save to a[?], or how connect phone to PC for transferring?

And also, schlund thanks, does this froyo 2.2 include arabic or persian please? (sorry for ask, my internet is slow)
[HD Mini Android Development] sbryan12144:
I do not have an HDMini but I do have an HD2. I can tell you from experience that the type of SD card does affect android speed since android runs off the SD card. Sandisk 8GB SD cards work very well with that kind of thing. Now as far as data, I have no idea if the card effects that. Cotulla said the battery and the G-Sensor isn't ported correctly yet (If I did read his post right :)). Hope I helped.

-Bryan
[HD Mini Android Development] dudesimo:
i agree with Bryan i have 8gb. and android on my mini works very fast
[HD Mini Android Development] Benjos:
i try it on 2gb SanDisk and doesn't work the phone freeze...
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
same here, sandisk 2Go is not working. i bought a new PNY 2Go and it works now!

less than 10 euro, just buy a new one ^^
[HD Mini Android Development] 15MA1L:
Location setting does not work!!

GPS / location setting does not work!!

After (Cotulla_PHOTON_AD_Users) test and back to WM I can not use my GPS any more, because I can not download Satelittposition

Quick GPS says that the location setting must be enabled!

But the local setting and destination is selected. :confused:
[HD Mini Android Development] papptam:
yeah, me too bad the GPS

please help me how to restore

edit

hard reset :( ---> don't work

please, please, please help me
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
first of all: please do not use unfinished software on devices for daily use!

read the disclaimer;

i do not have this problem, but things that could make this working again:

- Turn off Android while running GPS

- turn off and on again GPS settings in sense AND windows mobile, especially the "windows GPS handling" (don't know what it is called in english:) )

after that, give it a few minutes (in google maps for example) to identify the sattelites
[HD Mini Android Development] 15MA1L:
thanks a lot problem solved
[HD Mini Android Development] papptam:
Thank you!!

Good tip :)

I'm very happy :):):)
[HD Mini Android Development] garmin2:
Woohh, it´s really works very fast, I´m not a android fans, but I must recognize that´s works excellent in the Mini.

Congratulation for developers and thank you.

For information in Sd Sandisk 16gb not works, but in Sandisk 8gb works very fast, about 5 minutes in first boot.
[HD Mini Android Development] pie_tr0:
May be the SD compatibility is due to the cluster size of the FAT32.

I have a 8GB card no brand and is working OK and the cluster size is 4096
[HD Mini Android Development] newto:
it happened to me too, but it can be fixed by simply running android again and switching the location status once ( if it's on, turn it off and if it's off turn it on) and restart in winmo.. it should work

Is it Possible to take Pictures (SD n/a)?

And How can you connect to PC USB (ADB) for transferring files?

if you download and use this without the intention to develope on it, accept the bugs as they are, PLEASE !!!!
[HD Mini Android Development] silent_Eagle:
hi dear schlund

i follow this post and discussion

i know it's not easy to make driver and put on android but my question is: is any hope to some one work on this project

on the discussion i see you try very hard but here you don't put here any states from your work

sry for my bad english, tnx for your help and other guys
[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
Yeah, people are working on it.

If you dont want/can help, please stop asking for status every few hours.

They all have privat life and are working on it just for fun in there free time.

So please be patient and stop bugging!

Edit: Yeah, 100th post! ;)
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
sorry silent_Eagle but my statement wasn't focused on you :)

in general: as long as there are some people working on it there is a chance to get this fully working

in our case: several people are very involved.

in my case: i am working on it nearly every day. linux embedded development is new to me. i do not want to show up every step i made, because i want and need! also others to work on this and i do not want them to wait for my work, because i do not know if i succeed!

if i publish every single kernel or image people will never stop asking stupid questions on it.

for example: 1 hour development = 10min working on code + 20 min compiling + 30 min answering forumposts and pm's :)

if you want to speed this up take the dev-files and do it! (seriously! this is the same what we did)
[HD Mini Android Development] TürkOğlu:
i want all to stop their questions please

if you can't help devs don't bother them for speeding up project

i say thanks to devs and i'm sorry because i can't help they
