[PRJ][OS]Linux and Android on HTC Diamond "NOT YET WORKING"

[Marcellus_pnz]

I've managed to connect to gprs/edge, but it's very unstable. After 5-10 seconds of using internet connection, phone disconnects from network.
It seems that it depends on the base station or signal strength or somewhat, maybe 3G makes it unstable.

UPD: Currently, I synchronized my contacts, gmail and even installed a pair of applications from market without interruptions of service! It's soooooo exciting!!!

[mhndk14]

i tried all the instructions given but i get this error message and it stuck there

how did you do that ?

[c4software]

@Marcellus_pnz Im curious what is the version of your radio rom ?

[Marcellus_pnz]

how did you do that ?
I don't know, first of all, in the first half of the day it refused to save my APN settings. When tried to do it at my university, it's just saved and appeared in the list.
I tried to open browser, it loaded the google homepage and then the signal disappeared. This situation happened every time i tried to do something, that required connection. But when I was back at home, I continued my attempts, and suddenly I got the stable internet! But only EDGE, not 3G.

@Marcellus_pnz Im curious what is the version of your radio rom ?
1.15.25.14

[principedisavoia]

Can you explain a little bit more ?

Ok now i found a all the file on htcmania and start but after few minute the system crash.
thank's for your help

I test with this rom radio on my diam100 and it don t works for me

[bxmatus]

We're not that close to a production version. We have very little power management at the moment, it'll drain the battery really quickly. But we're getting there.

yeah :-) i know that, im just happy that there is a hope at the end of the tunnel.

[liamhere]

glad to see things are moving forward
i wish you all the best with the project
good luck guys....
android is the way forward....my hero has proven this to me!

[pongothemagnificent]

Hey guys are you setup's still freezing?, sometimes i can use android for hours without freezing, but some other times i just boot and after it finishes booting 2 min into the UI it freeze up..o well i guess something's wrong in the kernel, something's trying to turn on when is not supposed to ><.

same with me, i have diam100 and it freezes like your too :mad:

[bxmatus]

yes, freezing ... right now im fighting with internet settings
for example disconnecting and connecting to phone network will kill my phone for 100% ...

[pongothemagnificent]

Ive been trying to save my APN setting's for more than an hour, they wont save lol

[bxmatus]

me too :) and no luck :-(

The reason that data doesn't work is that we're using a RIL (Radio Interface Library) designed for Vogue and Kaiser and there is something that must have changed for Daimond/Raph etc.. I don't have any time to fix this right now but if someone wants to look at it, the source is here:

http://github.com/vilord/android-htc-ril/tree/master

and it goes into this rootfs:

http://github.com/vilord/android-initrd/tree/master

You can replace it in a running system by remounting the rootfs as rw, copying the library to /lib and then killing rild.

Send me any patches you have to this code and I will push it (but try to make sure you don't break vogue/kaiser).

Thanks

On my Diamond data was working fine. I was able to download and install some marketplace programs. Device was working for over 2 hours till I pressed the end call button. Even 3g data connection worked, but was less stable. I managed this with your zImage from 3rd September (and all other files you posted).

I only included ppp.username, ppp.password and ppp.apn in the default.txt and followed this tutorial http://www.androidonhtc.com/setup_data .

Great job so far ;)

[donald-c]

OMG, looks like so much more has been achieved in the short while since the devs came back :| Android is really awesome on my Diamond :D with working sound and the hardware button lights lighting up when they are touched... It's so much cooler lol.

Just noticed the screen doesn't turn back on when it goes off, oh well it's still really good :D

[mdrobnak]

On RAPH110: EnergyRom 3.0 WinMo ROM
Not sure of Radio Version.

Booted using Diamond Android.rar files, with the Raphael default.txt and the ppp.username and password settings for at&t.

First time, got sound without dialing out.

Tried to do APN settings, but didn't disable 3G, so no go.

Panel went off, so had to reboot.

Trying again.

Froze upon attempting a call.

No sound again.

APN wouldn't save (hit save and it disappeared, even though it was there, though without the MCC or MNC), though this time the carrier name came up, but not the MNC or MCC.

-Matt

Radio: 1.12.25.19, I think.

[pongothemagnificent]

Guys if your screen's go off, hit home twice and will turn back on.

[babijoee]

Guys if your screen's go off, hit home twice and will turn back on.

For my when i leave my phone and the screen goes off, when i hit the home button the device turns back on and the capacitibe hw buttons light up but the screen lights up but only display black:(:confused:


Does anyone know how to enable hardware keyboard for this diamond build? Too hard using the onscreen small keyboard.
Thanks

[cr2]

No sound again.


CDMA diamond (and raphael) users: please keep in mind, that you are not expected to have
working sound :) yet.

[cr2]

the screen lights up but only display black:(:confused:


You have a raph, and its LCD wakeup handling is completely fscked up.
Wait some time for it being fixed ;) Diamond is not much better, but it still works
by some magic spell :confused:

[babijoee]

Ah k. Thanks for the tip cr2 :)
Can anybody suggest any good android apps, mainly games?
Opps nvm. I'll find a thread for it.

So I have a RAPH110 (Fuze).

I threw everything together, patched up a default.txt, and everything booted first try.

The problem? After it boots... pushing Menu (the home key) doesn't unlock it! So I can't go beyond where I am right now.

Something interesting though... at the lock screen, the LCD turns off completely. A push of the left panel keys turns the screen on again. I don't know if the phone is actually going into and coming out of standby, but it is rather interesting.

[MrPippy]

I'm pretty close to getting WiFi working--the driver now loads (thanks to patches from the Kaiser guys), I found out how to extract the calibration data from the MSM nvram (which I'll probably add to a wiki if I can), and wlan_loader successfully loads everything (although it takes a very long time--I need to bring the updated msm_sdcc (http://git.linuxtogo.org/?p=groups/mobile-linux/kernel.git;a=commit;h=c2a9b4016c5ec23433148913f9d1 4659310896bb) over from the htc-vogue tree).
Right now, I'm figuring out how to get android to use it. Using my own generic build, Android resets when I check the box to turn on wifi. The last logcat message is:

E/WifiHW ( 98): Cannot create "/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf": No such file or directory

I had the same problem with Menu buton but after i change calibration data to right one ( sugested on wiki page ) it start to work perfectly - btw after boot you have to wait like 20 - 30 second before it start to respond to keyboard.

[cr2]

I need to bring the updated msm_sdcc over from the htc-vogue tree

The commit message says that it's a 2.6.27 backport. So, what is the real point ?

[babijoee]

How did you get the keyboard working bxmatus?
Also does your screen rotate to landscape when you slide the keyboard open?

[bxmatus]

oh, i'm sorry, i didnt use right word, i mean hw keys start to respond/react - keyboard is dead all the time ...
btw i was playing with it yesterday for 2 hours and it didn't crash. Problem is so far network ( disconnecting and reconnecting
to gsm network is crashing in 50% ) and whole interface is little laggy so when i press too many buttons or too fast it freeze.

[wrsg]

hi, i found a cupcake rom for diam that works very well, makes calls, feels stable, solid, recent build date 3/09/09 (yesterday), i got it from a magaupload link, but if anyone wants it, i will upload it from home later, i am at work behind a stupid firewall now

[kailashnj]

Hi warsng,

It would be good if you can upload the cupcake that you have.

I am waiting for someone to develop the microphone driver and the day that is done, bye bye WM.

Regards,
Kailash

[bxmatus]

i thought that there is no ROM development for this project and only haret is used for booting android on HTC touchpro/diamond. Did i miss something ?

[H3x]

No you are not. People are just confusing their words.

[babijoee]

Haret is used to boot the linux kernal and thus we use android on top of that. Correct me if i'm wrong:p

So you don't need BT, WLAN, camera, ... I wonder why you bought that Diamond.

[fliggygeek]

I saw somewhere that the next release of android,donut, is apparentlygoing to be too big for the rom on the dream/magic. while this may seem unimportant now, the diamond has the same amount of rom memory as the magic. this means that if/when we build a rom,we need to work out how to boot from an external storage area.

[babijoee]

So you don't need BT, WLAN, camera, ... I wonder why you bought that Diamond.

Many devices have BT, WLAN, Camera and anyone can buy a phone for any reason.
My friends girlfriend wanted a ppc so she could look smart and very professional however she already has trouble using her own nokia :p
So i had to spend a good hour teaching her how to use basic features so you see some people just dislike wm and if they have working sms + phone calling / recieving then why not. Android is a very good mobile OS and those features will be implement. Just take a look at the kaiser/vogue progress on android :cool:
When those features are implemented is totally another question. :rolleyes:

Interesting. Do you perhaps remember where you saw this info? It would be a shame if it cant be put onto the Magic or our own devices :(

[c4software]

in our case (diam100 device) we have 4GB (The Internal Storage Capacity) to put the Android Rom, so the Rom size will not be a problem.

The Android on our device is a really preliminary version, for the moment the major work todo is writing driver. Not porting android as a real rom.

It's true only regarding the Dream, not Magic.

Can someone with a working data default.txt post it here, i can get the apn settings correctly into my default.txt ><

Hi, I can confirm that DATA is working on diamond. I made it working by trial and error. He are the complete steps for working DATA connection on DIAMOND....

1. Edit the default.txt and change the values according to our network provider for ppp.apn , ppp.username , ppp.password . If ur service provider dont ask for username/password then u can use 'none'

2. Connect data on WM using any application and dont disconnect the DATA. (U can update wheather ....)

3. Now boot into Android. and make setting for APN and save it. Dont worry it will not display in apn but it actually saves ur APN. ( APN will not display in list untill u see E/G symbol near the network strength signal)

4. Now search for network in settings. and manually select your network.

5. Long press the END key and select AIRPLANE mode.. Then again long press the END key off the airplane mode.

6. After a while u will see the E/G symbol near the network strength symbol.. Now your data connection ready to use. You can use any application. I tested andorid market/ syncing mobile/ youtube (audio/video working) net radio etc etc.

HOPE THIS WILL HELP...

When you get the black screen with the little white line in the upper left corner, android is loading. I don't know why, but loading logo doesn't appear.

Sometimes, android freezes in random places (gmaps, wireless setup...). It's why we call this version "unstable". ;)

[bxmatus]

not working for raph100, after haret loading screen just white page and phone is frozen ... for some time hw keys are responding but it will never pas white screen :-(((

[IceBone]

Works for me, although if I change the wallpaper, it doesn't scale correctly, it crashed once while trying to change wallpaper and froze completely when I tried to set up a locking pattern. I'll also need to fiddle about with the .txt to get data going and I haven't heard a peep from it yet, but the vibe works, the hw keys light up when I move my finger over and everything seems smoother now. Great work, guys!

I have the same issue. My Raph100 is freezing in the end och the haret progress bar.. Sometimes before 100% but it always freeze.. Have tested more than 40 erlier builds and they have been pretty good but now when everyone else is happy campers, Im not :confused:

I tried this package and got an error "Please set start of ram (RAMADDR)". I have been reading this thread religiously since probably August and never had problems figuring these things out myself. I'm at work on my phone right now so I don't really have the resources to go back and see if I missed something. I unzipped it to the root of internal storage, changed the atartup.txt to default.txt (don't know why it wasn't named default like usual...) and tried running haret and got that error message. Can anyone tell me if I'm making some noob mistake this time? I have a diam500

Anyone with this problem...

Should be able to wake it up by hitting the home key twice. My RAPH110 does the same.

[babijoee]

The new zImage is giving us whitescreens i believe and nowhere else to go. Oh wells with the previous zImage we get sound and vibrations so i'm happy
Good work:)

[cubie.HTC]

Thanks a lot for the new build, it works on my Diamond with the official Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) firmware. :)

It can make/receive calls and play MP3 files, but it seems consumes more battery power than the original OS.

Thanks!
jeffrey

[babijoee]

I used the new package by TaC :D http://www.megaupload.com/?d=X9ZACUHF
but with the latest zImage it was unusable so i placed in the good old working version and it worked. Not only did it work the build seems very responsive:)

So far:
For some reason at the notification bar is indicates i have a headset on:confused:
And sound is not being outputted to speaker since it redirecting to audio/usb port:confused:

While playing music the build froze and i had to soft reset my device.
Vibration still works
The build actually isnt very stable at all. Froze many times while trying to access menu.

Guess i'm sticking with your previous pack TaC

When you say make/recieve calls can the other person hear you on the other end? Does this mean you have a working microphone driver?:eek:

I am able to play music... and it is very stable... didn't freeze at all.
I was able to open all apps (like camera) without any freeze.
Sound does work for me. Only disadvantage of this one is the headset notification.
(BTW I use latest zimage)

[TaC]

The last bundle has been tested in Diamond only, i don't know if it works in Raphael.

- To avoid problems, you must delete any data.img in the root, and let the image create a new one.

- Last pack may need 2-3 boots to get to desktop, then it should go more stable.

- With startup.txt, you don't need to hit "run" in Haret. When you start haret, system start loading inmediately.

- Swap isn't needed now, but may be useful with newer kernels.

- Headset icon in notifications bar doesn't mean anything. It is related to image.

- Black screen after "white letters" loading means system is loading. Wait 2-3 minutes before reset.

- Raphael users should try changing only zimage for the older one, errors may be related to the kernel.

Thanks for trying the pack. :)

you are imba!!
only one qest: wher is camera?

Thank you for posting the pack:).
One question... when pressing end key, screen goes black. As said, it should go on again by pressing Home twice. This didn't work for me. I have to reset everytime. Any solution for this?
Again thanks to all devs'!

[TaC]

you are imba!!
only one qest: wher is camera?

This build doesn't include camera, as it doesn't work.

The black screen thing is related to zimage and power management. I don't know why it happens, but i'm sure dzo will fix it soon. ;)

Copied files to root of Internal Memory?

[shady78]

yeah 8 files

[seb071]

Copied files to root of Internal Memory?

I did but nothing change... I don't know what to do

[TaC]

When you say "white lines", what do you mean exactly?

[pauldgroot]

TAC release works fine here.

I'm impressed with the progress so far guys, thumbs up!

[seb071]

When you say "white lines", what do you mean exactly?

white text and then nothing after, if I touch scroll or button it make the text continue without end.... thanx for your help

[cr2]

The new zImage is giving us whitescreens


The memory map is broken on raph. Most (all?) of them do not have the second 32MB sram bank:

in android there is just blank when i try to go into apn settings

congratulations on al the developers!very nice work so far, when data, power management and the mic works i will only use android on my device,

I have Raphael (att Fuze) but, yes you can get data working.
Read message #3548 his procedure actually works.

...

the same here, I'm unable to create new apn in android, there's no option for it, other than that, this is really great progress made, i'm impressed!

EDIT: I missed an option, when you're in apn settings press Home button, you will get an option for creating new apn.

[brachialis]

Hi, I can confirm that DATA is working on diamond. I made it working by trial and error. He are the complete steps for working DATA connection on DIAMOND....

1. Edit the default.txt and change the values according to our network provider for ppp.apn , ppp.username , ppp.password . If ur service provider dont ask for username/password then u can use 'none'

2. Connect data on WM using any application and dont disconnect the DATA. (U can update wheather ....)

3. Now boot into Android. and make setting for APN and save it. Dont worry it will not display in apn but it actually saves ur APN. ( APN will not display in list untill u see E/G symbol near the network strength signal)

4. Now search for network in settings. and manually select your network.

5. Long press the END key and select AIRPLANE mode.. Then again long press the END key off the airplane mode.

6. After a while u will see the E/G symbol near the network strength symbol.. Now your data connection ready to use. You can use any application. I tested andorid market/ syncing mobile/ youtube (audio/video working) net radio etc etc.

HOPE THIS WILL HELP...

I don't understand #3, what exactly, step by step am i supposed to do?

[seb071]

I don't understand #3, what exactly, step by step am i supposed to do?

I don't understand if I have something to modify???.
I downloaded the tac pack from megaupload, copying in internal storage, I run the haret file and then I see tiny txt going.... and android won't start.. What did I mess, old version were ok to me before... Thanks

[brachialis]

succes!
after several hours of trials 3g data is now working on my diamond.
i have the swedish operator 3 (tre).
what you do is that you follow the intructions posted earlier, and really do get the device to download something on 3g data while you enter haret.

and on #3 in the guide when you enter apn settings, press the menu button and press ad apn, then use the right settings i found my settings here: http://www.swedroid.se/wiki/index.php/APN-inställningar

hope this helps someone,
this is awsome :)
thanks all!!!

up please, Im turnin' crazy, I want it to work so bad

[cr2]

Ok, the current git head has fixes for raph100, so it boots again now :)

[|Jason8|]

Just dropping all the files into the internal storage of a diamond should make it work. I just used an old zImage and my default.txt for my RAPH110 (Fuze) and it worked awesome. Data works and everything. It just freezes randomly.

And guys? I found this last night while I was googling around. It's a package for the Vogue that has the Hero's Sense UI.

http://www.redmondpie.com/android-powered-htc-sense-ui-on-windows-phone/

Any chance with some minor changes, we could get THAT booting? :) I threw it on my Fuze. It actually boots with the same zImage I was using. Runs through, does all the boot routines and outputs them to the screen. But where the Android splash screen would pop up, it just sits at a blank black screen. Seems promising, though. :)

[Zoxea]

Seb delete your tmp. You copy the package .img into the root (dans la racine du lecteur pas dans le dossier ok) in internal storage not in the temp and run Haret ok.

Great job for the last build

merci de ton aide mais c'est exactement ce que j'ai fais, je comprend pas...

[cr2]

FYI, i can play .wav without any android, but not .mp3.
Recording sound needs to unmute the mic, and shows some other bugs in dmesg.

[amanker]

I don't understand #3, what exactly, step by step am i supposed to do?

OK... I am explaining the step #3 in detail.

From WM boot into Android using haret. In android go to settings>wireless controls>mobile networks>access point names and press home key when menu comes select new apn and make setting for APN and press HOME key again and save it. Dont worry it will not display in apn but it actually saves ur APN. ( APN will not display in list untill u see E/G symbol near the network strength signal)

[Zoxea]

ta une erreur qui apparaît sur le diamond au boot si oui post le en anglais. Prend uniquement le package qu'il ta donné ne boot pas avec l'ancien haret et l'ancienne zImage.

[brachialis]

i have tested android on my diamond today, have noticed two things,
one you cannot charge the battery, but you start android while the phone is charging, you can charge within android.

if you change background it resize wrong, there are borders, around the image

BTW guys if you see that your capasitive touch panel LED's are flashing randomly it means your battery is running very very low less than 2%, so when you see this happen reboot to WM and charge your batteries.

hrmmmm really. Hopefully it doesn't harm the device..:( Why 500? and not 528?
Could anyone shed any light on this and why it isnt already enabled as default?
possibly cr2 :D

:( no noticeable speed increase :( might be placebo

Do you mean in hardware or it hasnt been implemented yet. If its hardware then it would be really weird. :(

Hi I am new to this and have the latest pack by TAC . I put all the files in the Internal memory and boot android. It starts to boot but then it stops with the error that failed to find rootfs.img file not found on card. Can someone please point me to a guide or something on how to get the android to boot using the TAC pack.

[TaC]

Guys, when we talk about "internal storage", we are talking about Diamond users. If you have a Raph, use SDCARD root instead.

[1onew0lf]

Yeah TaC, I have a diamond ( DIAM140).... I copied all the files in the internal memory but the rootfs.img was not found. btw awesome work with android ... really admire you work ...

[TaC]

1onew0lf, did you copy al files in "internal memory" or in "internal storage"? It must be in the 4GB internal storage. ;)

Oh I would like to try this soo bad! But the link doesnt work for me... when clicking the link, a new page shows up with a lot of codes. Not more.
What's the problem?

Based on NK02 Ion image (Hero Themed) and DZO's last zimage with microphone working.

Includes resources folders (wallpapers, media, and apps). May take up to 5 minutes in the first time boot. Tested only in Diamond.

Put all files in the root of Internal Storage (Diamond) or SDCard (Raphael). Don't put them in internal memory in any case. Delete any data.img you have.

All credits to dzo and vilord. Thanks guys for your work.

[devurandom]

Great job guys, I just did my first phone call with android on my diamond. It almost instantly killed my battery, but I expected that. Thanks to everyone that took us this far!

[RationalGaze]

Great job! Just made my first phone call using android also! And the screen wakes up normaly now when i push the home button (it didn't do that with the previous build).

But still, i get the edge icon (did follow the guide few posts back), but the internet isn't working, so isn't gmail. I'll try to edit more settings (ports and server IPs..) and report then.

Love the progres the developers have made! Keep up the good spirit!

Trying to get further.

rootfs.img is included in all packs.

[saudoo]

I know this might now have been the case, but just now, based on the last few days, development has really got it's move on. I'm so thrilled about making my first phone call once I've got something to talk about with either of my friends! :)

Thumbs up for the good work you all. :)

Edit: Btw.. I'd assume that the hitting the End hard button, still results in a black screen?

Sorry for the stupid question: how-to extract rootfs.img? OS is Ubuntu 9.10 :)
Archive Mounter mount this file, but there no files :(

raph100: except GPRS it is working nice, phone is working ok - incoming and outgoing calls, it look even stable and faster ... sleep and wake up working ok too.
Is there any raph100 with working gprs/3g/edge ?

Downloading the new pack slowly now. CAN'T WAIT! I can do without 3G for now if I can make calls, etc...

Is there any quick way (that does not include manual labour) of transferring the contacts from wm to android? I also have them synced into outlook.

EDIT: android.process.acore keeps crashing :(

[deeproot]

If you can get data working and have a gmail account, you can export your contacts from outlook into your gmail account and sync to your phone.

[IceBone]

Cool, cool. I've been trying to get data to work, but there's a whole lot of proxy settings to get working and I just don't have the expertise to do it. :(

Also, can't do shit now as as soon as it boots into android, android.process.acore keeps stopping and I have to force close it over and over again. :(

[kugo]

I'm a lil stuck, i'm trying to put the latest pack on but all im getting is process errors on loop and im not sure which files to remove from teh previous build as i beleive this is the problem.

Failing that i'll wipe the memory XD

Thanks in advance

[Zoxea]

Hi,

I have some problem with the battery. In fact, Android give wrong information about the percentage of the battery and give very less than the Wm (Critical battery for Android and 65 % for the Windows mobile 6.5 BsBQ) and the device want to shutdown the device. How to arrest this ?

It is very good work which you make.

[slawson]

With my diam500 from alltel/sprint if i use mtype 1805 i get a greay screen that flickers, what do i do? what is the correct mtype?

[babijoee]

Remember guys this isnt an official build. Its more of feature testing and bug crushing. :)
Power management isnt fully implemented but for now it lets sleep and wake our device with some battery status. Not sure if 100% accurate though

[LpBv]

Putting the one but last together in one line worked for me perfectly .. thanks.

[Palewolf]

Something went wrong with this build and my DIAM100.

Loopt crashes on his own a few minutes after boot.
Not only there's no sound, but launching any application (music player or ring tone config, for example) that uses sound freezes the system.
Many "vital" programs crash too, such as touchscreen callibration.

Are there any log/debug/info I could provide to help you guys solve those problems?

[LpBv]

Since I modified the startup.txt, it's ok ; the first boot was very long, but then I got the android desktop.

Next step : 3g networking & wifi

Thank you

[deeproot]

Mine is booting also.

Thanks,
Deeproot

[slovoflud]

Works perfetly!

Great job! :)

[seb071]

3g data works fine, everything good... Thanks a lot for this goodjob everybody

[TaC]

I can't test anything about Raphael, as i have only Diamond. Sorry guys.

To test any new bundle, you better delete all files related to android in the root of sdcard; you don't need to delete any folder.

[LpBv]

Thank you Tac, Everything is fine now (3g include).

Tac : do you go on #htc-linux on freenode ?

[donald-c]

I'm loving Android now, it's almost good enough for daily use :o
I don't get 3G where I live so that's not a problem for me lol.

Hopefully one day soon we can install Android as the main OS instead of WM :P

Same here on DIAM100. Edited all setings (all proxys and ports, according to an online tutorial specialy for my provider) and no luck. I get the edge icon for abou half second, then it goes away. Can't open any page in browser or download mail. Hope this gets fixed soon...

[deeproot]

my raph 100 gprs is working fine. took a few tries but its going now.

I followed the directions a few post back. The part I was messing up was in wireless setting I had to select Network operators and pick att. Once i did this It was on.

Still no luck for me. I wanna try out Android audio goodness! I put everything from the 090609 TaC Pack in root of internal storage. When I click haret I get the error message "Please set start of ram (RAMADDR)". I can get the old 6/22 pack to work but this one doesn't. I have a diam500. What am I missing? Do I need to change anything in the startup.txt?

[bxmatus]

soo, its working now(gprs) but its going on and off in few seconds interval ( problem was really in manual provider selecton, i have to select it twice, then power cycle and then it start to connecting )

Add the following line to your startup.txt:
set ramaddr 0x10000000

And change the RAMSIZE parameter from 0x08000000 to 0x06000000.

I also have a diam500...and have been trying to get it running. This will at least boot the kernel...but I'm getting a completely white screen that flickers.

Hi. When i go to android, it starts as usually locked and says press menu to unlock, but it never unlocks whatever key i press.

[computerguru]

Thanks for the help. It booted into the console but like you said, then just flickering white screen.

Are your colors also all messed up for the Tux penguin? If not, what mtype are you using? I'm using 1805...which I thought worked in the past.

NVM...my eyes are messed up...the colors are fine...lol.

[mhndk14]

i get the error
msm_i2c msm_i2c.0: warning bus was busy
on diam100
please help.

[IceBone]

While boot up I noticed this line: Failed Failed to start swap.

Could that be the problem?

I also noticed the same thing. I'm downloading a slightly older system.img file to my phone to see if something got messed up in the least release of the TaC pack for the DIAM500. It may work...it may not...I'll let you know.

[|Jason8|]

While boot up I noticed this line: Failed Failed to start swap.

Could that be the problem?

Nah. A few pages back, someone made a post saying that these builds aren't using a swapfile any more. The old ones did. It's no big deal and won't prevent it from booting.

[cr2]

When i boot I get stuck with a looping line of commands timing out every 120 seconds


The RPC setup is not done in a clean way now.
This also prevents GPS from working properly ;)

[cr2]

It's only a warning. buggy hardware of buggy software (kernel driver) ;)

I tried the 090409 build, which isn't Hero themed, but which also doesn't have the android.process.acore bug. It does, however have a really annoying touchscreen problem. Everything under the notification bar activates the notification pop up window, when i move upwards and the notification bar area itself has everything else squeezed into it. o_O

EDIT: must have messed up something when I edited default.txt with my provider's data settings, works now that I changed back to default. How long do you guys think it would be before the data settings would be able to be input from within Android itself?

[computerguru]

Hey...something else I noticed...I get a "403 Forbidden" error when trying to access git.linuxtogo.org.

But as it stands right now, todays build from TaC, on the DIAM500 (Sprint CDMA), does not work. After adding the following to the startup.txt:

set RAMSIZE 0x06000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000

It will boot the kernel, get to the system.img, and go to a white screen that flickers black every so often (I'm guessing a message on the console.)

This is the startup.txt I'm using (to keep everything simple):

set RAMSIZE 0x06000000
set RAMADDR 0x10000000
set MTYPE 1805
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz

set cmdline "msmts_calib=0x81.0x393.0x358.0x7D msmvkeyb_toggle=hide no_console_suspend"
boot


And just to be on the safe side, I tried the RAPH800 mtype (2039), and noticed Tux looked correct. Went back to 1805, and realized the color issue is back.

[shady78]

I also noticed the same thing. I'm downloading a slightly older system.img file to my phone to see if something got messed up in the least release of the TaC pack for the DIAM500. It may work...it may not...I'll let you know.

result please

[|Jason8|]

Just threw that Hero-themed package that came out today onto my RAPH110 (Fuze). Holy awesomeness!

Sound works. Power management works. It can even tell if it's charging via USB!

It's fast, smooth, and I like it. It almost seems like it's running natively. Now I just have to get a better MicroSD card! Class 1 is SLOOOOOOW!

Also how in the hell do you calibrate the f'kin screen? The Calibrate Screen tool is busted.

BTW, Here's my default.txt/startup.txt. I have that clock attribute (clock-7x00.a11=528) added. You might want to remove this. I'm not sure if it's good or bad.

default.txt (It's also attached):
set mtype 1910
set kernel zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set ramsize 0x6000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set cmdline "root=/dev/ram0 init=/init console=tty0 mem=76M msmsdcc_id=3 imgdevname=/dev/mmcblk0p1 imgdevnum=1 imgdir=/ msmts_calib=0x6D.0x5D.0x340.0x375 msmvkeyb_toggle=off lcd.density=192 ppp.apn=wap.cingular ppp.username=WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM ppp.password=CINGULAR1 clock-7x00.a11=528"
boot

And I got data to work using these settings on AT&T. Just follow the instructions (Credit goes to amanker for dreaming up this procedure!):


1. Edit the default.txt and change the values according to our network provider for ppp.apn , ppp.username , ppp.password . If ur service provider dont ask for username/password then u can use 'none'

2. Connect data on WM using any application and dont disconnect the DATA. (U can update wheather ....)

3. Now boot into Android. and make setting for APN and save it. Dont worry it will not display in apn but it actually saves ur APN. ( APN will not display in list untill u see E/G symbol near the network strength signal)

4. Now search for network in settings. and manually select your network.

5. Long press the END key and select AIRPLANE mode.. Then again long press the END key off the airplane mode.

6. After a while u will see the E/G symbol near the network strength symbol.. Now your data connection ready to use. You can use any application. I tested andorid market/ syncing mobile/ youtube (audio/video working) net radio etc etc.
And the APN settings:
Name: AT&T
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: leave blank
Port: leave blank
Username: = WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password: CINGULAR1
Server: leave blank
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port: 80
MCC:310
MNC:410
APN Type: leave blank

[computerguru]

result please

The results were that it didn't work. I tried using the system.img from the wiki. Also, the kernel has the color issues from the looks of it again.

[IceBone]

Still using pre-hero build and if I put in anything except the default info into the data thing, the touchscreen fails to function properly. :S

This is what I've got:

set RAMSIZE 0x08000000
set MTYPE 1805
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
#
# The following kernel parameters are useful
# ppp.username - The username used to connect to the network when dialing #777
# ppp.password - The password used to connect to the network when dialing #777
# msm_sdcc.msmsdcc_fmax - The maximum frequency (in Hz) used by the SD controller
# pm.sleep_mode - The mode used when the phone is off
# 0=Power Collapse Suspend, 1=Power Collapse, 2=Apps Sleep,
# 3=Slow Clock and Wait for Interrupt 4=Wait for Interrupt
# Default is 3, use 0 for best power savings
# board-htcvogue.panel_type - Panel type used to power the panel off and on
# 0=Don't power off the panel (Default)

[aussiewan]

I just wanted to say a big thankyou to everyone who has done such wonderful work on this! I have a DIAM130 through Telstra Australia and have been able to get it all working well, including NextG (HSDPA, like 3G) data. I have it syncing with gmail and everything :) I'm interested to see what the battery life will be like, but with the amount of progress just in the last week, I'm sure it won't be long before I'm using this as my primary phone OS!

[babijoee]

my first n00b question for android. :D jk
While i was browsing fb on android it was amazing, almost like the full interface the thing that bothers me is i dont know how to fully exit the application. If i press the hw back arrow it goes back one page and eventually when i get to the first page i load it goes back to the main menu. That just takes way toooo long.
Does anyone know how to exit apps?:o

Oh! :) I was wondering the same thing browsing facebook yesterday. In fact, how do you exit any program without going Back Back Back though menus or pages?

:)

[babijoee]

Has anyone notice their device shutting down while using browsing the internet?
I didnt touch the device and left it for 1 minute. And saw the message android shutting down. :(:confused:

[TaC]

There should be a hardware "home" key, but we don't have enough keys in our Diamonds...

[babijoee]

Oh yes now that i think about it. There is one more additional button on android phones. Unlucky for diamond users though. Raph still has a hw keyboard, but maybe holding a button can be implemented to represent home :D

[Erik_PLD]

Or move the functions of some hardware buttons, if is possible, to others. By now, shut down button at the top of the diam does nothin'.

Just hole 12 hrs whit andro and I love it more than yesterday!!! Great job one more time!

HW keyboard is working. It is because we are using the diamond specific build that it isn't implemented. A raphael version has not been built yet. Just have some patience as Connect-Utb has been quite busy with his personal life and has only recently come back.

[mormo]

hello

my question is:

when somebody call to me screen is black ? it's normally ?

maybe You working with hardware now and my question is too early ?

[dzo]

Oh! :) I was wondering the same thing browsing facebook yesterday. In fact, how do you exit any program without going Back Back Back though menus or pages?

:)

In spare parts, change the end button behavior to "home, then sleep", we'll probably use power for home eventually but till then this will work.

[deeproot]

I love the progress. I will be patient forever. i was just putting my issues out there. I like to be able to see what issues others are having and this was only a post to show others that I am having these issues.

I am in no rush.

Thanks to everyone again that has put hours and hours into this project.

Android works so great that Its not even working fully and its awesome.

Thanks,
deeproot

Why in your lastest package you have used an thmed version of android ? i'm curious...

Also whats going on with the android git? are you guys moving up to 2.6.29?;)

[RationalGaze]

I have noticed one more thing. If my diam100 is USB charging while in WM, and i then boot to android, android also says that it's charging. If i pull the plug out, it still says it's charging... But if i don't charge my phone before i boot to android, i cant charge it at all. Anyone noticed anything similar?

[babijoee]

Yeah its reported on the raph wiki ;) http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RaphaelLinux
Its not really the main area of focus for android at this time i believe.

[TaC]

@TaC

Why in your lastest package you have used an thmed version of android ? i'm curious...

Just for fun ;) :p

You can switch to any system.img in the other packs.

[RationalGaze]

Oh...i didn't read the wiki for some time. I agree, this isn't the main problem. I was just trying to act smart :) Btw, i can't and can't get that GPRS working. It's driving me a bit crazy :) Guess i'll have to give it a bit more time.

Love the developement, will test anything new and report.

What are you stuck on? Maybe i can be of some assistance :cool:

It's the problem of android->kernel API library for input devices.
keyboard and accelerometer have working drivers and work as expected in linux.

I can save all setings, and i also get the edge icon showing up. But in intervals. It goes on, and after 10 seconds it goes off. Even in those 10 seconds i can't acess the internet or do anything online. The APN settings do save, and are shown in the APN menu. I set them accordingly to this guide(it's in sloveene, but look only under Si.mobil): http://tabla.mobile.si/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=37578

I have no idea why it won't connect..

Do you have the ppp.apn, username, password in your default.txt?
If you followed the guide correctly the GPRS connection should be on always.

How strong is your connection in WM?
If its strong then it should stay on permanantly otherwise you may have dropouts. Keep trying

[c4software]

@TaC

Its possible to build an img from an cyanogen build ?

Hmm okay i have to use the yaffs2 tool. :p

The link you mentioned is only giving details of APN settings. please use the guide posted in few posts back. and use the APN settings in ur default.txt. If u have problem of E icon vanishing after few seconds then follow the post mentioned in this thread and connect gmap or any application which uses data. I am specifically mentioning gmap because it tries data connection repeatedly. once connection made the icon will not disappear.

[babijoee]

Heres my guide on how to get GPRS based on amanker guide. ;)
Just a very detailed and easy guide.

1. Open your default.txt
and add the bolded/underlined lines to your default.txt

set cmdline "root=/dev/ram0 init=/ console=tty0 mem=76M msmsdcc_id=3 zmgdevname=/dev/mmcblk0p1 imgdevnum=1 imgdir=/ msmts_calib=0x7a.0x5e.0x35a.0x37f clock-7x00.a11=528 ppp.apn=3services ppp.username=none ppp.password=none lcd.density=185 msmvkeyb_toggle=off"
boot

(The values of your connection is dependant on which country/service you are with.)
For details on your service check out these sites.
http://www.androidonhtc.com/carrier_network_settings - thanks Oliwan
http://www.flexispy.com/Mobile%20APN%20Setting%20to%20use%20GPRS.htm
http://www.niklaus.co.uk/blog/extras/APN_EN.html -thanks slovoflud

Modify ppp.apn=******* ppp.username=******* ppp.password=******** according to your carrier.

2. Enable your Data connection within WM and make sure its still active when you boot into Haret.
(Notice that your device may now be sluggish due to enabling data connection.)

3.Once your in Android open the program tab and goto Settings>Wireless Controls>Mobile networks>Access Point Names
Now press the HW home button and add a new APN.
Enter your details from one of the 3 links above. Once you finished entering all details. press HW home button and save APN.
(Note that you will not be able to see the APN after you saved it. After all the steps in this and you achieve the connection, you then will see the APN details in there) -thanks kailashnj

4. Now goto Settings>Wireless Controls>Mobile Networks>Network Operators and reselect your carrier.

5. Now go back to the Android Today screen and hold the Call End button and select Airplane mode and wait until you lose the signal.
Once the signal is gone hold the Call End Button and re-enable airplane mode.
At this point it is now just the waiting game.
(Important!!! If you get a connection but it disconnects and connects, its probably due to your location. Try your connection outside or near metropolitan areas. Its not to you not following the guide correctly ;)


Once you see the 'G' icon near the signal status it means you have established a connection and now everytime you load Android it will automatically log onto the GPRS connection.
(You do not have to enable GPRS in WM any further once your connection is setup. Notice that you device may become more unstable and more laggy.)

To turn off and on the GPRS connection open the menu tab and goto Modem program and simply click it on and off. :D Hopefully this is easy to understand.
After awhile the system becomes more stable and fast after multiple reboots.

[rayman18]

Really thanks babijoee:;)

[RationalGaze]

I did follow the tutorial previously. I'll do it again now. will run google maps, so it'll be loading something 100% and then boot to andoid. Will report in about 15 min.

Hi RationalGaze,
I was talking about google maps.. in case ur G/E icon comes only for few seconds in android, not in WM. So if ur G/E icon is unstable after whole procedure in ANDROID. then as soon as u see G/E icon open google map that will keep trying the connection and your connection will become stable. then u can exit google map.

Thanks Babijoee, for explaining my guide in such a detailed and nice way.

[Bertjj]

Hello,

I can succesfully run android on my Diam 100, it's very smooth, and much nicer then WM! :)

But, i can not lock the device, or turn the screen off? How can I do that? Is it possible?

Greatzz,
Bertjj.

[Riel]

Wow, good to see this project grow!

DIAM100 just works.
The reaction on the capacitive panel is fun, to see the leds go on where you toch it. Also the scroll wheel is working. Volume control seems to be working just fine too.

I don't really know the Menu key though.


The 3G service is sort of on/off issue. It drops quite often. Google maps is not helping here ;) Also indeeed android is not quite stable, but most of the items just work. Market is fine, GMAIL sync works like a charm.

And wow what a great way to show your email!

[IceBone]

I just tried it with the modified startup.txt and it hangs at:

Where it could be found if it is a DIAM100 or DIAM500.:confused:

You can take out your battery. But a better way is to soft-reset your device and hold the volumeDown button. The bootloader will prompt your device version.:)

[IceBone]

Just a note: you didn't explain that we also need the MCC code (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_country_code). ;)

[RationalGaze]

Well, no luck with my GPRS. It's still turning on and off. If i go to the modem app, it gives me some interesting information. It DOES connect, it shows me my ip, and in a second or two it disconnects. Tried the GPRS tutorial several times...but with no luck. I'll try runing google maps in android as amanker said. But i don't believe that will work. I'll try to delete all android files, and copy them again and start from scratch. I'll see.

Thanks for all the help Babijoee and amanker (and if i forgot somebody, you're included :) )

[kailashnj]

Hi babijoee,

I am located in India and my GSM provider is airtel. I have been trying hard since last few days to ensure GPRS works on my mobile, but its unbale to work. I need to know what am I doing wrong.

The following are the steps that I follow:-

1. Added ppp.apn = airtelgprs.com ppp.username=guest ppp.password=guest

2. Enable my data on WM using enabling weather download.

3. Go to Settings>Wireless Controls>Mobile networks>Access Point Names - put in the following details.
apn name - Mobile office
apn - airtelgprs.com
username guest
password guest
MCC 404
MCN 92 (for Mumbai) and then press home button and save the apn. (It does not appear in the list.

4. Go to Settings>Wireless Controls>Mobile Networks>Network Operators - Select manual settings - cannot fine airtel listed only Hutchinson Max and Bpl Mobile (kindly help if any one of you from Mumbai are able to get airtel in the list of network operators.

5. Using the end call button - select airplane mode and then after few minutes come out of the airplane mode. I have tried the step 5 en number of times but never seem to get to the G signal icon.

Kindly help

[IceBone]

Well, I was able to connect data, but the phone is SOOOO slow now... :( Any memory/cpu speed optimisations I can input that would fix this?

Hi Kailashnj.

Please do one thing just select the blank line above Hutchinson Max. And it will work. You will see registering to network.. then you will see registered on network.. then come main desktop. and continue rest of the procedure..

and use ppp.username=none and ppp.password=none in your default.txt or startup.txt

great work, i have diam 100 and i am working with the last build, i can install apps of anroid market :D this is awesome
thanks for your good work:)

Yeah i'm going to update that. The APN does not appear yet. You have to do endcall hold disable then re-enable and once you establish connection you then should be able to see your APN details.

is there any problem with sd card image?

Maybe the partition on your sdcard is an extended partition. I konw mine is and it produces te same error.
At this time android does not boot with an extended partition.
I think we need to clean up the initrd. We should remove the static device creation, and change it back to the automatic creation with mdev -s, which is displayed in the wiki.
i'll post a new one once it is finished.

I must say, after some reboots I get a rock-steady 3g connection.

Recieve mail faster on my device then on gmailsite itself. Nice nice.

Only I recieved a call, was a struggle to pickup :p And then a unrecoverable blackscreen :)

[diabolik]

[Riel]

It runs so darn smooth.

[FrAsErTaG]

Super impressed with the progress being made

Beyond what I thought would ever happen..

Question to me now though is will the wlan driver be worked on next? will it actually be possible to access this hardware from android?

Hello, any one knows how to connect internet -data connection-? with Vodafone Spain?

Hello, any one knows how to connect internet -data connection-? with Vodafone Spain?

Same as said before, but with VF parameters.

(Tienes todo el procedimiento bien explicado un par de páginas más atrás, lo único que tienes que hacer es cambiar los parametros "ppp.apn", "ppp.username" y "ppp.password" por los que correspondan aquí a Vodafone)

Hi guys,

first of all I'm very glad about the recent progress. Thanks heaps to all who made this possible and contributed.

Unfortunately the data connectivity has not worked for me (yet).
I think I followed (multiple times) the data/3G setup guides pretty well. And I do get the little G or 3G symbol.
But I won't get a stable connection:
The G/3G symbol randomly disappears, sometimes together with the normal network connectivity bars.
Then I cannot even make/receive a call.

The modem applet (sometimes) gives me details about my IP address etc.
When I ping my phone's IP address then I also get results. Actually, I can see from the ping results whether or not the little G/3G symbol is "on".

If the phone is off or in airplane mode or the data connection has not been established yet,
then I get "...Time to live exceeded" to my pings or no result to pings at all.
If the phone is on and the data connection is established (according to the little G/3G symbol),
then I get something like "...icmp_seq=185 ttl=126 time=103 ms" (sometimes much higher roundtrip times though).

This behaviour is kind of consistent with what happens under WM when trying the same things.

Has anyone got any ideas? Maybe I'm doing something wrong here?

Is it perhaps hardware specific? I've got a DIAM300, RadioROM 1.08.25.20.

[asticinzano]

Just out of pure speculation I'd say it has to do something with HSDPA and/or the radio rom you use.
My connection in android was rather stable with 1.09.25.23. Then I upgraded to 1.13.25.24 which offers much better signal strenght and therefore better HSDPA reception. But it's rather flaky with android.

When I remeber correctly HSDPA wasn't really fun to use with older radio roms on windows mobile, too. So I suppose HSDPA handling isn't so easy after all.

[RationalGaze]

Well, on my diam100 i have the 1.15.25.14 radio, and gprs doesn't want to work. I'll try the 1.09.25.23 and report later.

No luck with the 1.09.25.23 also. Now the edge icon is on constantly, and modem app says it's connected. But browser doesn't load any page, i can't sign in with a google account and if i ping my phone IP from my computer i get a 100% loss.

What radio are you guys using (ones that have a working gprs on diam100)?

[babijoee]

Hmmm maybe trying different locations of your house. Or try to go metrolpolitan areas. As my house is near the city i got a constant stable connection. no dropouts. Then i drive to my friends house which has poor coverage and even bad reception for phone calls and my connection was connecting and dropping every 5 seconds.
Although it could be your radio version too. Trial and error i guess :(

[kailashnj]

My internet is working fine and I have been able to login to the gmail.

Only problem that I have is the battery usage which is very high and hence still cannot move out of WM.

Battery does not charge if you are in Android and have not started charging while in wm.

But still overall very satisfied with the everything, Thanks a lot TAC, DZo and all others who are working hard to port Android to Diamond.
