Indeed, everyone is still waiting for a fix for battery code, but devs still have more important priorities to sort through (correct panel working, etc)

In the mean while, a few builds have modified kernels that already (at least partially) disable battery polling during music playback, and therefore stutter-free audio playback.

Personally, I'm happily using a recent kernel that's based on 1253 kernel, with audio patch by g3rm0 (running XDAndroid Gingerbread-alpha)

Stable kernel, no significant problems encountered after weeks of use (except the known Gingerbread issues like camera, location, etc not working)

Anyway, check out

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10829216&postcount=27

And, remember, Gingerbread is still alpha, so your mileage may vary!

Cheers,

[Touch HD Android Development] rb_daman:
anyone tried using gingerbread with viruscrazy's kernels and libs to see if this fixes the camera?
[Touch HD Android Development] kruijs:
Yes, tried but failed...

Tried different Haret.exe, modified startup.txt, and gingerbread.conf, everything that might make a difference according to the original raphael camera test thread, but no luck...

Got it easily working on other builds, so it seems really a Gingerbread issue. (although I did not try Neopeek's gingerbread build, I find XDA more stable, but maybe we have a chance with camera om Neopeeks builds?)

I asked Jerome(viruscrazy) and he replied that it was indeed a small chance, something for him to look into in the future...

I guess camera should be enabled in userland, which was the case for FX03/04, but probably not yet for Gingerbread, similar to missing location code, hopefully to be added in the next Gingerbread build.

If anyone else has camera up and running in Gingerbread, I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong in this particular answer! :)

Cheers,

Robbert

Just wondering if the battery last longer when you're using winmo 6.1.. Anyone know this?
[Touch HD Android Development] nasko_spasko:
WinMo 6.1 instead of what..?

Ofc, XDAndroid is under development yet, lots of things to polish, and battery management is one of them.

everything work fine but when i turn off screen and wait 5 min i cant woke up my phone.

any ideas how to fix it?/
[Touch HD Android Development] nasko_spasko:
After you press the power button, wait 2 sec.(or more) it's a bug.

I had such a problem before with 2.2 Froyo, I can't remember the build, but when I

replaced the rootfs with newer, the problem was fixed. :)

Edit: you can try do disable the data connection: Settings>Wireless...>Mobile Networks>Data Enabled - Uncheck ;)

i have a little problem with keyboard in my phone

i can't install new keyboard becouse i dont have astro manager or any file manager and i can't download it becouse i can't log at android market becouse i dont have keyboard any suggestions how to solve this problem ?/;p
[Touch HD Android Development] g3rm0:
Yes. Download a new release of Gingerbread. It has keybord and gsensor fixed as well as 3D driver. Look for system-gingerbread-testing-20110227.zip here: http://files.xdandroid.com/
[Touch HD Android Development] nasko_spasko:
Copy the apk of astro to /sdcard/AndroidApps then reboot and the app will be in the applications menu ;)
[Touch HD Android Development] warfae:
for me keyboard and gsensor is not fixed ;/ 3D driver i dont known how test it
[Touch HD Android Development] g3rm0:
I did have problems with keyboard on the new system but I thought it's a user error. G sensor works like it should. Tested even with some bubble level app. To test 3D you need to launch any 3D game or benchmarking app. Except Neocore - it's not working properly.

Did you remove data.img? Sometimes you need to start with a clean system. Also remember to update rootfs.
[Touch HD Android Development] warfae:
i have started with clean system without old data.img with updated rootfs and modules

i have tested g sensor with bubble level app to but still no work;/

at Neocore i have 29,7 fps but when i want play angry birds sometime it slow down usualy when i shoot or look at pigs
[Touch HD Android Development] hrk7474:
Booting into GBX04 works fine. I'm using 1255 kernel because of audio-stutter with others (yes the 1262 also).

Wifi ok, 3G ok, 2D speed unbelievable. ;)

Quadrant Standard benchmark runs the 3D tests at about 12fps.

G-sensor, screen won't rotate. Well, if i try to start Angry Birds, it says force close and leaves my screen in landscape mode. I have to go to lock screen or load Zeam to get it into portrait mode again.

Don't know if this helps. Really enjoying this build already.
[Touch HD Android Development] Lothaen:
do you mean winmo6.1 to launch haret instead of winmo6.5?

if so it shouldn't make a difference? as windows mobile should be killed when launching xdandroid
[Touch HD Android Development] nasko_spasko:
I was wondering for the same thing, that's why i said "instead of what..", well i think he has in mind 6.5. Also I think that 6.5 wont change anything, but that's pointless post, so... forget it xD :D
[Touch HD Android Development] SmokeMasta:
with system-gingerbread-testing-20110227.zip angry birds crashes once you enter a map(dont know if this means that the 3d doesnt or does work but birds doesnt work :) )

keyboard still doesnt work ..

havent tested the Gsensor yet (eventough i noticed there is no tilt when i turn the device)

also it seems like the other android versions that wifi makes the device realy hot and then it crashes witch is the only unstablity i noticed so far on all the xdandroid versions.

Black screen issue (applies to Blackstone users)

If you are having an issue where you calibrate your screen and then the screen becomes black, there are two things you can do to make it load:

1. Use this "haret.exe," this "ts-calibration," and this "startup.txt" and use the latest rootfs, zImage, and modules. The rootfs and the zImage will have random numbers and letters after it, so just copy it to your sd card and rename it to rootfs.img and zImage. Load haret.exe.

2. If it still shows a black screen, open the back of your device and use the stylus and poke the "reset" button (it will be red, and next to the microSD card slot. Run haret.exe again. You shouldn't have any problems. These instructions are designed for nasko_spasko's instructions. Find his instructions here.

TIP: Wait for about 10 minutes, and it will be much faster. Do not start using it as soon as you get it on your phone.

Thanks to nasko_spasko!

I get a Wi-Fi error. Is it because of the kernels I'm using??????
[Touch HD Android Development] coolbuddy1321:
i have one problem

i have android 2.3.1 MDJ Gingerbread v1.0 RC5

when i connect my ph. with USB it just get charge but does not show any Icon on the left top corner of notification bar...

and so i can turn my ph to mass storage through USB

any Idea??
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
There's a newer build -

GBX0A

Which is also outdated, just not as outdated as this build :p.

With that said, USB Mass Storage won't work unless you partition the card, which is unsupported on XDAndroid builds... It's a lot of work for very little reward.

However, if you're on Windows, the application Droid Explorer will "fake" USB Mass Storage pretty well.

[Off-topic] z33dev33l:
First of all I'd like to say HTC has been great to me... They were always the best about upgrading whatever software was on the phones, they've always been great tech support and up until recently their phones were always revolutionary but now... I mean it's like they're releasing the same 5 phones over and over with a different processor or camera and acting as though it's something innovative. Where a lot of companies are moving forward in design they've been at a standstill since the release of the Nexus One. I know "The pyramid is going to be so great" or something like that but really it looks like an HD7/Evo/HD2 with a better processor... I just don't get the appeal anymore. Even Kyocera is coming out with more interesting devices and that's just depressing. What happened to when HTC's phone lineups had interesting phones? What's the most interesting they have as of late? The surround? Someone at HTC please bring them back to their roots because their new models are just repetitive and dull...
[Off-topic] CODISDABOMB:
yes, they may be bringing similar phones, but they are all still different. They pretty much got a variation of the evo, all with 4g capabilities, and similar on every carrier for android, and then a lesser version with only 3g on every carrier. i dont pay much attention to windows phones though. but there are rumors of an HTC tablet coming up, maybe that's where all there innovation is going to? just use the rest to keep the money coming in ATM? either way, im more than satisfied with upgraded to my evo from the samsung instinct.

It took you five yrs. huh. After my first HTC phone I was done with them. I will only buy one of their phones if they're the only manufacturer my service provider is carrying WM7 on. Hopefully Sprint will carry more handsets. I would hate to get one of those subpar phones again. I never understood what everyone thinks is so great about HTC.
[Off-topic] lude219:
I still firmly believe that they havent really release an HD2/EVO successor, and by that, I mean creating such a magnitude that it ripples throughout the entire mobile market. Maybe they're enjoying their new-found earnings, but I hope they get to work on something truly spectacular that the world havent seen. We still have MWC and CTIA to go.
[Off-topic] Step666:
Only an American...

Here in the rest of the world, we've seen over the past few years just how far Nokia has sunk.

Their handsets are nowhere near the standard of Samsung and HTC and MS were fools to risk the support of superior OEM partners to woo them.

Nokia haven't been on top since the N95 and apart from the top two or three models in their range, most of what they have on the market is crap.

And that's not to say the top models are all that good, they're nowhere near the standard of top Android handsets, the iPhone or the WP7 range.

As things stand, Nokia are about the only manufacturer I'd never consider buying from.

And I very much doubt my opinion will be changed by their WP7 offerings.
[Off-topic] z33dev33l:
If I was running on symbian I wouldn't build top-tier phones either. It would be a waste of power on a bum OS... Just like android, why the powerful GPU and no GPU accelerated UI? It'd just be a waste of resources. With a good OS that will make use of those resources they'll be out of that rut... Symbian wasnt exactly known for its awesome games or power hungry apps so why put the stuff in just to increase the price without reason? I do think they'll need to step up the game and by what they've said I have quite a bit of faith that they will. Not to mention all specs aside they're one of few out there who are still innovative...
[Off-topic] xzpx:
I agree, but I don't see what other company isn't doing the same thing, except IPhone, but since I hate apple, and am a loyal ally to Microsoft, HTC is still the best for me!

[Off-topic] z33dev33l:
HTCs WP7 devices have been subpar really... Id rather get a focus unlocked...
[Off-topic] Step666:
You're missing half the point.

It's not just the specs, the build quality and reliability just isn't there.

The majority of their stuff is below-par buggy crap and I don't see switching OSs breaking them out of that rut.

Ah ha ha! Are you stoned?

This is the company that repeatedly delayed/scrapped/squashed MeeGo and has pumped countless

BILLIONS

into Symbian.

Seriously, Nokia has been spending more on R&D than anyone else and ~90% of that has been wasted on a PoS out-of-date OS that no-one wants.

But then you look at MeeGo and they've still managed to spend more on it than HTC spends

in total

and it basically doesn't exist, at least not in any commercial sense. How a company can spend so much money on something they have no intention of trying to sell to customers is mind-boggling.

Nokia can't innovate to save themselves, if they could they wouldn't be switching to WP7.
[Off-topic] z33dev33l:
The innovation I speak of is strictly hardware. There's no denying that symbian was just terrible and I dont see how anyone can expect MeeGo to be anything more than a failure... However the design of their phones is not to blame for OS shortcomings. Sure WP7 will be like their first endeavor into high end hardware (bigger processors and such) but with the innovation behind their other devices I think they could bring WP7 to a more acceptable level. I'd love to see a good WP7 device with good battery life and a great camera. As far as I'm concerned 1 gig processor is enough for a phone as long as it utilizes what's there unlike other OSes.
[Off-topic] Step666:
Such as?

What have Nokia done in the past couple of years that's innovative?
[Off-topic] CODISDABOMB:
i agree with everyone that nokia sucks. motorola, and HTC are good, and if you dont like them go with Samsung (the epic wasn't too bad) if you don't like them either go Apple if you still want an somewhat-decent smartphone. but other then that you might as well buy a flip phone. HTC is the best for phones on sprint, my parents have had several htc windows mobile os phones, and now we all got the evo. but for tablets, the zoom if it was cheaper (check gizmodo.com to see what im talking about) and something with similar specs.

Btw we should have a favorite phone maker poll, and a favorite upcoming tablet poll.
[Off-topic] Captainkrtek:
While some of you may be losing faith in HTC I have to say that they have been great so far and I only expect more innovation. As a company they are even better. In the past few months I have been writing a business paper on smartphones, part of the research involved interviewing an HTC employee. I emailed HTC President Jason Mackenzie and within 10 minutes got a reply and a Yes to my interview. Companies that can go out of their way for customers and hear their concerns and complaints keeps me faithful. My next device will always be HTC :)
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
Same here, mistake buying an LG.

Il stick to HTC, thank you very much!

On topic with the OP:

I heard HTC is going to do some dual core stuff. Can't wait!

I think HTC has got to the point where they have achieved nearly everything they can with mobile devices apart from speed.

I think htc would have to get some nice new phone designs and some unbelievable hardware spec to make it interesting.
[Off-topic] avgjoegeek:
I wouldn't go with Samsung again even if they gave me a platinum plated, honeycomb running, quad core processor, that did my laundry.

Their build quality, and lack of support can suck it. (Can you guess I'm a Captivate user?)

The only phone/tablet combo that I would be looking for if I wasn't looking for an Android device would be HP's new Pre :eek::eek:

And I'm def NOT a Palm/HP fan!!
[Off-topic] alex4lex:
Lol @avgjoe/all samsung haterz...cuz y'know what? They all own samsung phones or have in the past. I know this, because I can relate to every complaint they make. And that's sad.

As far as innovation goes... what has apple done? NOTHING. They slim down their phone to wicked thin profiles... Innovative? Not really. Something the masses want from their superphone? Definitely.

What does HTC do? They support their phones and customers with actual software updates. (Not missed dates and empty promises) They have great build quality, most reviewers are always in praise of how HTC devices feel in your hand. Are they innovating? Not really. Are the previously listed features something I as well as many others look for in our superphones? Yes.

As far as recent innovation goes... it's kinda... eh to me. Until Dual-Core is supported by android, it's kind of a moot point. Yeah yeah...future proofed... but what if you DON'T get that update? As wonderful a world it would be where you could utterly and completely trust your favorite company____, never buy a phone for what it's promised to do, but what it can do at the time... Learned that the hard way with the captivate. Luckily... XDA exists :D

You don't have a corrupted nv_data.bin file, which is good.

Your IMEI number is correct, which I suspected first, cause there were discussion of the generic IMEI number not working on other networks besides AT$T.

Since it doesn't matter what rom, kernel, modem combination you use with no avail.

I would wait to see if someone else chimes in here that might have other ideas.

Things I would do though: Call to see if there is any outages.

Update through kies to see if you get service from the update.

Hi.

I'm currently running void rom with gingerbread theme. I'd like to make a few changes to the notification bar icons [vibrate, gtalk, silent etc.] How do I go about it?

I tried decompiling the current framework-res.apk using apk_manager. I located a few of the icons that I needed to modify. I modified them using photoshop. When I tried compiling them again, I got a a message saying that some errors occurred. Where am I going wrong? What else am i supposed to do?

Please assist.

EDIT - I did some reading.. I pulled /system/framework/framework-res.apk using apk manager

Decompiled the apk

Edited one icon just to see whatever I'm doing is right or not..

Then when try to recompile, it tells me an error has occurred.

At this point, I didn't know what to do,went ahead and tried to push the apk

At this point, I got an error saying:

Waiting for device

You get errors on two 9.png's. So what you have to do is:

Replace those two 9.png's that give error with 2 random one's. After compiling it, open it with 7zip or winrar, navigate to drawable mdpi and just drag and drop those 2 files.

Hope you understood.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] blueren:
Replace them with random ones? As in...?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bioan:
So...

Copy from the framework two 9.png's that work and rename them to: status_bar_header_background.9.png and title_bar_portrait.9.png

You have to do this step to succesfully compile it back. (those two 9.png's are corrupt and that's why it is not compiling back even if you haven't modified anything)

After compiling it, open the framework with 7zip or Winrar and navigate to drawable-mdpi and drag and drop the corrupted 9.png's (those that didn't work when compiling: status_bar_header_background.9.png and title_bar_portrait.9.png )
