Glossy if your marketing budget is huge

Matte if your marketing budget is small and can't afford the glossy paint

That's assuming it is using dialer as default, if it's using skype hit the clear defaults there.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Alright so turned on my phone this morning and I looked on the market to see if there were any updates and it said that there weren't any downloads. I searched one of my apps and it said it was installed and the I even downloaded a new app but that didn't even show up. Does anyone have any idea what happened?
[Droid X General] Funnyface19:
ive had this happen several times try clearing the cache and then rebooting it might take several times but they should show back up eventually
[Droid X General] hammurabi84:
Happened to me before. What I did is that I searched for the missing app in setting/applications/manage applications, then moved the app back to phone memory, rebooted, then I found the missing app. Try it, may be it will work, it did for me. This procedure also healed the missing widget syndrome lol :)

[HD7 General] gasanpride:
When I set up the HD7 phone the first time coming from the box, I don't recall of entering any WP7 activation key. I think it only asked for the windows live ID and after that everything went smooth. I gave this phone as a b-day gift to my daughter. She is out of town now for college.

My question, what if happen if for some reason she requires to hard reset the phone. I am reading a lot from forums that once you hard reset the phone or other WP7 phone in general you'll need to enter the activation key again. I understand that I can get the key from Microsoft by calling anytime for that key.

I could be wrong and I totally forget it but during the initial setup process did the phone really ask for that activation key? If yes, where do you think I found it? In the box? I need to tell my daughter to look for it so I can save it for future use.
[HD7 General] ecj123:
you don't need an activation key. you only need the key for the hd2 because its not registred as an wp7 phone.
[HD7 General] Siki78:
You don`t need activation key but your a lost all data make you first sync wiht you computer and do hard reset
[HD7 General] gasanpride:
Yes, I understand that I will lose all my data once hard reset. The contacts probably got saved in the windows live account. I can just export to csv and import to load it back.

Thank you!
[HD7 General] truffle1234:
once you hard reset, when you turn the phone on it will ask you to setup your windows live account, my contacts are on my windows live account so at the first sync it will load all my contacts back, you do not need to export to CSV format anymore... i beleive its goes same for the google address book if you are keeping your contacts there..
[Touch HD Android Development] g3rm0:
This thread is dedicated to enhance/optimize Blackstone button layout.

I've started this thread because I would like to test rootfs image made especially for Blackstone. For now it's about the new key mapping. We (the Blackstone users) were missing the "Recent Apps" menu until recently when Stickman89 made some progress in this area but unfortunately he retired. Now his rootfs is outdated and this is where I took over. My rootfs is a modification to the latest official one and includes the new key mapping. The goal here is to have "Recent Apps" menu AND power button fully functional at the same time (and possibly merge upstream when the work is done here).

Native Android device is required to have at least 5 buttons. They are: Power/Sleep, Vol Up, Vol Down, Home, Menu, Back. Our device has 6: Power/Sleep, Vol Up, Vol Down, Call, Home, Back, End Call. This means we can have all the buttons like in Android device only if we sacrifice Call or End Call. Call is also used to do BT voice dialing and I don't want to break this option when BT will be fixed. End call on the other hand is only needed to end calls and there are other ways of doing this (map power button in Accessibility menu or use on-screen End call). I've decided to have Home button acting as a menu and End Call as a home key (because it really doesn't change much except End Call is the real HOME now).

Here's how the new button layout looks like:

**UPDATE: 11.4.2011**

You can now have Home button working as HOME and End Call button being MENU. To try this simply add: physkeyboard=blac to your startup.txt cmdline. Without this parameter button will be mapped like in my previous rootfs (see picture above).

As a bonus I've cooked a new zImage + modules. Nothing really dramatic - just bringing JB's audio shuttering patch to the latest official kernel.

/UPDATE

[LEGAL BS]

THIS IS WORK IN PROGRESS. IT IS

VERY UNLIKELY

TO CAUSE ANY DAMAGE BUT BE AWARE: YOU CAN USE IT only AT YOUR OWN RISK. I CAN'T BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO DATA AND/OR HARDWARE CAUSED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BY MY RELEASES

[/LEGAL BS]
[Touch HD Android Development] g3rm0:
TROUBLESHOOTING (if one step doesn't help - move to another):

1. Backup your data and delete data.img.

2. Format your SD card.

3. Use the latest official rootfs (if it's working report it here).

4. Try the latest Xdandroid release (other builds my not be compatible).

5. Find the setup (kernel/system/rootfs) that works fine.

6. If it's still not working - ask here.
[Touch HD Android Development] Eodun:
Been using this for days and no problems, it works great.

First times you have to remember to end call with power button, but the small call icon in notifications does the trick XD
[Touch HD Android Development] MrAce:
Also been using since first posted with audio stuttering fix - been great.
[Touch HD Android Development] jeanfrederic:
With your kernel + rootfs, I can't have geolocalization anymore on Froyo X red.

Gonna try the last "official" rootfs.
[Touch HD Android Development] Eodun:
It's doubtful at best that if you change rootfs you can continue calling it froyo x red. This is based in stock FRX05 XDAndroid, which I encourage using.

Anyway, it works perfectly for me, try updating QuickGPS within WM before booting Haret
[Touch HD Android Development] jeanfrederic:
OK thx, gonna trash xRED ans try FRX05 so. (have to say the more builds are up the more i'm getting lost anyway :rolleyes:)
[Touch HD Android Development] hrk7474:
These device-specific replacement files are totally the bomb!

I had been thinking about a special thread like 'How to make it work on a Blackstone', where we could collect quickfixes, workarouds and special files, but apart from the rootfs and kernel there's not much else wrong with the terrific FRX05 and GBX0A releases. The latter not even being beta yet!!!
[Touch HD Android Development] little john nl:
kernel running smooth en stable :)

only hope battery time 10 a 11 houre i hope

in the future that make longer ...

go on with this nice :D work !!
[Touch HD Android Development] MagicMans:
Thank You Very Much for the rootfs..working great..

This is just a suggestion from me.....what do u think of making the real home button as the HOME BUTTON and End Button as Menu Button....and same for top button as sleep.....??
[Touch HD Android Development] simplistian:
The keymap works great on neopeek ROM as well by replacing the keymaps files to the install file before doing npkinstall.
[Touch HD Android Development] kimtaei:
here is the new rootfs with home key remap for blackstone...by Tiad8 (www.tiad8.com)

http://www.multiupload.com/QU64ZCHN8M
[Touch HD Android Development] g3rm0:
Threadjacking = way to go. I gave you guys instructions on how to update keymap on neopeek/tiad8 builds and this is how you repay me. This thread was meant to test changes so they can be used in the future official xdandroid rootfs releases.

BTW. The rootfs you posted is likely to cause issues because tiad8 broke compatibility with builds other than his own.
[Touch HD Android Development] jeanfrederic:
noobs :rolleyes:
[Touch HD Android Development] hrk7474:
OMG OMG it's &#*$(@# CHRISTMAS

Wow, so much for chivalry...

And what would we need that "rootfs...for sense hero" for when we already have a perfect one right here? And as g3rm0 already said, this thread is about that specific rootfs made by him.

Another thing, considering the 'issues' there have been regarding, well, let's just say it's not helpful spamming that stuff all over the place. There is a thread about tiad's new project, so it would be best to put anything to do with that right there.
[Touch HD Android Development] kimtaei:
:o truly very sorry what i've done and the way i done wrongly, i only just wanted share something good that i've on my blackstone and didn't mean to be like that. it really gave very good battery life. please accept my apologies if i offended you. whatever i post to other i'll has your initial with it and appreciate you great work. again i'm truly sorry and wont happen again. :(
[Touch HD Android Development] g3rm0:
I've added option to choose Home and End Call buttons behavior. See the UPDATE section of the first post for details. You'll find the new rootfs and new kernel build there.
[Touch HD Android Development] hrk7474:
Nice! Will install these right away, although i don't think i'll swap the buttons around.
[Touch HD Android Development] khainata:
Where find the latest Xdandroid release?
[Touch HD Android Development] g3rm0:
You should be able to swap back and forth by simply deleting or re-adding this parameter. I've tried both setups on a single data.img and it worked every time.
[Touch HD Android Development] hrk7474:
Just booted with the new kernel and played some audio which worked FINE, as expected. Everything still working (exept GPS since i'm back to GBX0A again).

As for the buttons, I'll try it out later, but i'm sort of used to how it's set without the startup mod. And if i just call that one button 'Toolshed' instead of 'Home' it's all very straightforward. :p

And from past experiences i see no reason not to take your word for it. Thanks again!
[Touch HD Android Development] skyplay:
I've only 24 hours experience in using Android. Your latest updated files help me solve a big problem in using FRX06: incoming calls were always hearing busy tone. Now replaced with your two files, incoming calls can go through, though the caller has to wait a bit longer time when I can notice and pick up incoming call, as compared with WinMo 6.5 in Blackstone. Your great work is much appreciated. Thank you.
[Touch HD Android Development] g3rm0:
It's good to hear it's working (more or less) as it should. I can't take the credit for all of this because I'm providing only small modifications suitable for our device. Most of the work (well, almost all of it) was done by the other devs involved in this project.
[Touch HD Android Development] skyplay:
yes you're right, all hard work count!

Using another 24 hours, it hangs in one occasion: using wifi to browse Internet, and the webpage is simple without flash, but need to login something, need to take away battery to off and on again. Two more unsuccessful bootup after executing haret from WinMo. And one unsuccessful photo shot when enabling GPS on camera screen. Last, weaker reception (no signal) than using WinMo , in exactly the same locations.

One more novice question: are all apps downloaded from Market automatically installed in SD card? Thanks
[Touch HD Android Development] mickeystar:
yes it does
[Touch HD Android Development] hrk7474:
All apps downloaded from market are installed into data.img, to be specific.

If you want to save the apk files you can use Titanium Backup after you install the apps.
[Touch HD Android Development] skyplay:
Thanks for pointing to another app.

Notification

wondering if the difficulty I faced to slide down the notification bar is still existing in this package as FRX06 or not.

Thanks very much g3rm0 because I took your root and kernel to try it with GBX0A and I will feedback
[Touch HD Android Development] jbiton:
I do really appreciate your amends. And I think its really a revive for Blackstone section after too much abandoned it. But can you please tell me the 11-04 kernel and root are for GBX0A OR FRX06
[Touch HD Android Development] g3rm0:
Difficulty with sliding notification bar can be caused by bad touch screen calibration (at least that's my theory). Try to use some very old kernel to calibrate the screen again and see if that helps.

You can use them with both builds ;)
[Touch HD Android Development] jbiton:
Thank you, no need for that I took the calibration file from the GFX0A because it was satisfying for me, and paste it in the FRX06 and working great.

for the kernels, I realized that

CWM rootfs

g3rm0 ,

Thanks for this rootfs, I always take it with me to any build for its key mapping, I really like it,

but of course I can't use it in CWM rootfs, npkboot1.6 has been released with a new rootfs, can you please amend it as this one, so as to be used in CWM builds with the same key mapping and your modifications to best suit blackstone.:):)
[Touch HD Android Development] xUmaRix:
for neopeek just add

elif /bin/grep -c 'physkeyboard=blac' /proc/cmdline >/dev/null; then
echo "USING BLACKSTONE NAVI"
cp -f /init.etc/keymaps/blac_navi_pad.kl /etc/keymaps/raph_navi_pad.kl
cp -f /init.etc/keymaps/oldqwerty_microp-keypad.kcm.bin /etc/keymaps/microp-keypad.kcm.bin
else

in your init file and save.reboot from CWM and you will have it all set
[Touch HD Android Development] jbiton:
should I add that to initrd file?? so if this is the required one, should I paste the code above and paste it in that file through note pad, I am sorry but I don't know much in development.
[Touch HD Android Development] xUmaRix:
it is not initrd.you boot your phone into CWM.Then from cmd.

adb pull /init .
#Edit your init using Notepad++
adb push init /
adb shell dos2unix -u /init
adb shell chmod +x /init

power off your phone and restart it again
[Touch HD Android Development] jbiton:
mmmm, I am very sorry, But I am not a developer :)---- so you mean to boot into android and search for any terminal to write down these commands ?? because I can't find any cmd in Android.

for the highlighted command above, is this a part of code(I don't think so) or this is a hind for me???

Please I need more explanation for the whole scenario.
[Touch HD Android Development] jbiton:
Dear guys,

Why up till now, we don't have an updated kernel of 1291 for blackstone, enabling my location, other kernels are enabling this but they weren't designed for blackstone.
[Touch HD Android Development] ypsmav:
Hi G3rm0,

Would you update your roofts with the latest versions available on XDAndroid.com? (roofs 20110516-2d0bb0f kernel: 20110522_213148)

Those are working really good on my blackstone, but missing the JB's audio stuttering patch.
[Touch HD Android Development] foggydew88:
Mmm, you sure? I don't have audio on call with this kernel, but I have with any newer.

Slán!
[Touch HD Android Development] alphecca911:
Your roofts wont let my blackstone boot on FRX07, how come?
[Touch HD Android Development] ThaiDai:
They changed the rootfs.img so we have to make changes to the new one. My old rootfs.img for CWM worked but after installing with CWM wifi didn't start.

This is a result of changing the wireless name in FRX07 and so it is called wlan0 now in rootfs. And so I cannot use my old CWM-rootfs for installation.

Same here with keyboard changes. I want to try in evening changing both...
[Touch HD Android Development] nikitto:
All credit goes to g3rm0 and xUmaRix.

Let's go ... first of all, in Windows, you can use Gizmo Drive software.

After install the software, reboot your system, for everything to take effect.

You also need this file: blac_navi_pad.kl , I got it from g3rm0's rootfs.img. Thanks again.

Ok, run Gizmo Drive software and mount your rootfs.img as a virtual hard drive. Enter to I:\init.etc\keymaps and paste black_navi_pad.kl (where I: is my virtual hard drive), after, open I:init (with notepad) and add these lines:

elif /bin/grep -c 'physkeyboard=blac' /proc/cmdline >/dev/null; then

echo "USING BLACKSTONE NAVI"

cp -f /init.etc/keymaps/blac_navi_pad.kl /etc/keymaps/raph_navi_pad.kl

cp -f /init.etc/keymaps/oldqwerty_microp-keypad.kcm.bin /etc/keymaps/microp-keypad.kcm.bin

before

else

echo "USING OLD KEYMAP"

cp -f /init.etc/keymaps/oldqwerty_microp-keypad.kcm.bin /etc/keymaps/microp-keypad.kcm.bin

cp -f /init.etc/keymaps/oldqwerty_microp-keypad.kl /etc/keymaps/microp-keypad.kl

cp -f /init.etc/keymaps/oldqwerty_raph_navi_pad.kl /etc/keymaps/raph_navi_pad.kl

fi

Thanks to xUmaRix for this.

Unmount rootfs.img and copy it in your sdcard.

Now, just add physkeyboard=blac in your startup.txt and enjoy it.
[Touch HD Android Development] eusebe:
Hi g3rm0,

ThaiDai had detected that wireless name had changed in FRX07.1 and as a result, WiFi doesn't work any longer when using your rootfs file.

Is there anything you can do about it ?

You know your version is very important since it enables to recover the keys on blackstone devices running FRX07.1

Thanks

Edit : I think you can forget my request, arrrghhh is going to take care of it in "FRX07.1".
[Touch HD Android Development] Treasure:
Hi g3rm0,

It seems that your mod is the only one I can find to fix the audio stuttering problem together with the key mapping of having the recent launched programs. It would be highly appreciated if you could re-apply these 2 changes with the latest release of "FRX07.1 rootfs" and "

kernel htc-msm-linux @ 20110819_183957".

Looking forward to your great work.

Thanks.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
I took his keyboard layout file and already put it in the newest rootfs. I need to commit the patch so all new rootfs' will include it... But in the meantime see my post for the updated rootfs.

As for the kernel fix, it's not really a fix. Just kill the battery process, does the same thing. Midnight has built a kernel that uses this concept... It's not really a fix. I'd like to see a real fix instead of this workaround...
[Touch HD Android Development] Treasure:
Hi Arrrghhh.

I checked the kernel built by midnight. From the recent feedbacks, it seems to be far from useful when compared to your latest release. A battery problem will shut down the phone shortly!

I use my phone for listening to music with bluetooth headset more than making calls. I hope that you could find a way to resolve the audio stuttering issue. Changing the bluetooth bitpool to a higher value for more acceptable BT quality is also important to make the Android built useful.

Hi g3rm0,

If possible, please kindly compile us a kernel with the audio workaround on the latest kernel. I would really like to try it out before i give up Android and go back to winmo.

Looking forward to the good news from you great guys.

Thanks.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
AFAIK that's just for X1 devices... Not positive tho.

What do you mean, "bluetooth bitpool" - can you expand on that...?

I don't know if you missed my post or what, but I'll post it here again...

So you don't need any special kernels to do that for you. Just get to a terminal, su, kill -9 28 (PID for [battery] process) and the stutter will be gone.
[Touch HD Android Development] ThaiDai:
When I see reactions to midnight's kernel in other forums I think it's more wishing than reality. I myself would like to have a better kernel with BT, Sound etc (or even a NAND kernel) and so I wake up on every thread with kernel changes.

But sadly (especially with NAND :D ) there isn't any real development going on. Reading midnight's changelog shows more problems with ubuntu and kernel compiling than real advances. I hope he will have some success but until now I see no "physical" reason to switch.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yes, I wish there was some actual kernel development going on, instead of just incorporating hacks to workaround issues. That is not good practice...

Problem is, no Blackstone user seems to want to (or has the ability to) work on the kernel. That is what is needed - a Blackstone dev....
[Touch HD Android Development] ThaiDai:
I think it's a dead end. The community for this device isn't big anymore and more important: the device isn't really capable for Android every day use. So why put energy into it?

For me it is now for about 3 month fun with Linux and Android. In june I had no experience with Android at all, just zero.

And now I really love it: just waiting for the next Tabs fullfilling my wishes and I will switch to app development for Android. Blackstone is a nice "Zeitvertreib" (pastime).
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Assuming there were developers, I'm sure it could be capable for everyday use in Android.

But alas, you are correct. The community isn't big anymore, so no devs attracted to the project. Oh well.
