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

[RationalGaze]

Might be the poor reception. Alltough, on the first boot with the 1.09.25.23 radio, the simptomes were as i described them in my previous post, now, on the second and third boot i dont get any edge icon.

I'll try the 1.13.25.24 radio, and go out of my girlfriends house and try outside, beacuse they really have a nasty reception here (but in wm gprs is running smooth...). Well...will see :)

[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?

I've spent a few hours trying different zImage versions, boot params and even system.img, to no avail. Finally I updated my ROM from v1.93 to 2.03 SPA and that did the trick. Not only loopt is not crashing anymore, sound (and sound-related apps) works perfectly. Yay!

Hope it helps somebody.

[pongothemagnificent]

Raph110 user's any of you having problems with the media player and the gallery app's? these apps arnt reading my sd card, though i can access it trough astro and play my media that way, but it sucks cause i cant set ringtones , any thoughs guys? currently im using the latest zimage from dzo, using the previous zimage dint gave me this behavior ><

[belsj]

Please some help:

I've installed 09-06-09 Tac-Pack and hit HaRET.exe and started Andriod without any modifications in startup.txt.
Everythings looks great but didn't had any internet connection of course, so i copy paste this txt file as default.txt:

set mtype 1910
set kernel zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set ramsize 0x6000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set cmdline "root=/dev/ram0 init=/ console=tty0 mem=76M msmsdcc_id=3 zmgdevname=/dev/mmcblk0p1 imgdevnum=1 imgdir=/ msmts_calib=0x6D.0x5D.0x340.0x375 clock-7x00.a11=528 ppp.apn=live.vodafone.com ppp.username=vodafone ppp.password=vodafone lcd.density=185 msmvkeyb_toggle=off"
boot

but then i couldn't start Andoid anymore. I even deleted all files and copy the original back to my storage card but it doesn't boot anymore.
Only thing i see is the progressbar of starting haret... and then screen freezes, no booting android, nothing.

I have a touch pro (raph100) and have vodafone as moneycollector uhh provider :D

what can i change?
PS my startup.txt

set RAMSIZE 0x06000000
set MTYPE 1910
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "msmts_calib=0x6D.0x5D.0x340.0x375 msmvkeyb_toggle=off mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 lcd.density=240 ppp.apn=live.vodafone.com ppp.username=vodafone ppp.password=vodafone"
boot

[mhndk14]

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.

thank you man.
you were right, i checked my partition and it was extended so i formatted it as the primary partition and now its up and running.

whats working:
audio - working
mic & speaker - working
edge - working (india, airtel)
bluetooth - not working
wifi - not working
camera - partially
gps - not working

i am using TaC pac 090609 (themed version).
very smooth and shiny.

[karlanal]

i dont know what im doing wrong
i have a diam100 and i can get android to boot
but i have no sound and no mic
when i try to play some music it freezes every time exactly after 15 seconds (no sound ofcourse)

thx in advance

[wasupwithuman]

i have raph800... I get all the way to where i see ANDROID with the light running back and forth... then my phone just shuts off... anyone???

im running the latest package...

and my start up is as follows.

set mtype 2039
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=/tmp msmts_calib=0x81.0x393.0x358.0x7D msmvkeyb_toggle=hide"
boot

[boas]

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

He also forgot about MNC:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code

But that should be it.. :)

[IceBone]

Yup, filling all that out made my Android connect through E, but it's still hellishly slow. I'm running it right now in hopes it'll settle down. :(

[Erik_PLD]

I configured my diam100 to connect with Orange Spain and it works very good.
Next step for me is to improve battery and related.

Enter in Market is very funny considering that is only for andro devices... xD

[los1223]

I haven't been able to get this to work. If anyone's gotten it running on a Diam500 please share your secret. =)

[Untouchab1e]

Awesome work everyone! Worked flawlessly on my Raph100. I havent gotten GPRS working yet but I will play around with the guide I found a few pages back.

Ive collected a few various startup.txt configs and thrown together two packages and published them over at connect-utb.com.

I have to do some upgrade work on the download system as the download counter has stopped working. I will just leave it untill tomorrow though so enjoy ;)

Now I want to figure out how to get Android running equally good on the Touch Pro 2!

[IceBone]

Bah, I'm giving up on data... Having to wait 15 seconds for every command to start and everything timing out and not responding sucks. I'd rather have a fast OS than the ability to maybe download a few kbs every hours. >_<

EDIT: GAH! I just installed the 090609 image and I can't get past the pattern thing. The touchscreen isn't working.. >_<

[Untouchab1e]

Patience my young padawan.. Data connection will be working for you too soon, Im sure!

[aussiewan]

At this rate, we'll have to change the topic name for this very soon... get rid of the "not yet working" bit!! :D

I think the only thing that is really holding me back in using it every day is the battery life. I can cope without bluetooth, wifi, accelerometer etc for a little while, but I need the phone to last at least 20 hours or so.

By the way, has anyone tested MMS? I assume that will require data connection configuration stuff tho. And I don't use it that much anyway. Just it doesn't seem to have been mentioned lately.

[IceBone]

Patience my young padawan.. Data connection will be working for you too soon, Im sure!
Yeah, I know, I'm just venting. I really appreciate all the hard work everybody's putting in, I'm just reading how everybody's making it work and I just have to let off some steam... :(

Open up the menu tab>Dev Tools
In there select Media scanner, this tool will then rescan and load up your media.
From what i've experienced you need to keep retrying it a couple of time until the message changes.
After that you should see your media :D

[babijoee]

No i didnt :( its not needed to be explained in my guide. The provided websites has those information and so you input which ones needed when setting up your new APN details. :D

[shady78]

patiently waiting for wi fi

Oh yeah your right sorry, the first link contained that information! Witch we completely missed :)

Thanks for the default.txt by the way! Got my ralph100 to work, use it for 12 hours now, and i'm testing how long the battery holds up today.

And i 30 sec ago just did my first incoming call! Damn I'm thrilled.

Looking forward on getting the keyboard to work :D

[tidus25]

Hi everybody
I'm very surprised that the project progress finally, it thought that it was abandonned.
I would like to know if one day this project works fine, will it possible to do a ROM under android or it won't be possible?

[c4software]

Please stop asking for an Android rom, its not the problem at this time, for the moment the major work its making drivers for all stuff on the diamond. After that a lot of optimisation will be necessary.

[CyQuesT]

Hallo,

i have an Diam300 (XDA O2 Diamant) and android-diamond-20090807-BETA on it.

But i only get msm_i2c msm_i2c.0: warning bus was busy.

[mchh]

Works pretty well on my Diam100.
The battery lasts about 12 hours
3G works fine
Can't send sms but receive them.

Keep that great work up :)

[phuongpham]

i can't find a place to download Android..
Can we have a download link on the first post?

[t0mb0]

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.


@RationalGaze
Thanks for trying and letting us know.


(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 ;)


@babijoee
After having tried three different places in "metropolitan" Sydney, I cannot confirm this.
The signal strength bars were 3 out of 4 in Android. Sometimes even better in WM. I could get the G/3G symbol, and in the modem I sometimes could also see my IP address etc. But absolutely no luck with accessing anything on the Internet from Android... :confused:

But thanks once again for all your help and efforts :)

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 ...

i also got this problem.. and yes it's in internal storage.
The internal storage is formatted as FAT32.. not sure if this is correct.

FYI - Used the Andorid for 5 hours and 30 mins on my Raphael100. 40 mins of that time, went to calls, then it died.. So not too bad, this power consumption is to be expected (who cares Android works :))

[slovoflud]

hah! :) I just talked my collegue into putting android on his Kaiser, then launched mine on Diamond and called him - that was fantastic :D

[belsj]

can give me someone the startup.txt and defaul.txt for the touch pro Raph100. I cannot boot android. it freezes after booting. result Black screen (freeze).

edit: thanx boas (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1825579). it's running now.

Settings > About Phone > Contributors (then either wait or close it).

When you go back to the home screen it goes back to portrait but, so far Menus, SMS/keyboard & notifications work fine :) (It's the only things I have used)

I know a few if not most of you knew that but it's cool to me :o lol.

Running on a DIAM100 on Orange UK

I ran the TaC build a few times, very nice. Got GPRS working too.

When I ran it today (maybe 3rd time), it seems to have done a hard reset on the phone - or something similar.

All my settings in winmo were gone, including contacts, messages, calendar etc. The phone booted into setup.

Just a heads up to people: back up important stuff before running the betas!

I have a little issue important ,so i cant register in gsm service(always resquest PIN NUMBER, i always put it but nothing), maybe my diamond must be unlock??, actually its vodafone spain is not Free my diamond 100, but its vodafone, any idea??? Sorry for my bad english , im not using google translate :D.

[RationalGaze]

It's a miracle! My GPRS is working. I'm at home, with loads of reception (it isn't 3G but f*** it, it's something :D). Well, looks like it was the receptions fault (but i aint betting on that).
But i have to mention one more thing. My service provider has sepperate settings for data connecion and MMS connection. And while I was reading an online tutorial I noticed, that you have to add 'default' as APN type option (thats for data, for MMS you have to add another APN and it's type has to be MMS). Don't know if that makes any difference, but mine works now...

You need to make sure the files are places in the root directory on your storage card or internal storage (for diamond). Meaning no more "tmp" folder or anything.. Just place the files in the root directory!

[techtim]

Anyone know the APN settings for Sprint?

I don't think you need to set any APN settings for Sprint. I don't think the CDMA radio is supported yet in the Raph/Diamond builds. On the Touch and Mogul you didn't need to put in and APN settings and data worked fine.

[los1223]

Anyone know the APN settings for Sprint?

Have you been able to boot this on a Sprint Diamond (Diam500)? How did you do it? Did you modify the startup.txt? If so can you tell me what changes? I haven't had any luck with the latest few builds. I get the console (scrolling text) then just a white flickering screen for like 15 mins before I give up and just reset the phone.

[babijoee]

Wow at Connect-utb build for the latest build based off TaC.
It truly shows stability and wow OpenGLES i API demos. :eek:
definantly h3d acceleration happening and happening very good.
Unfortunately neocore isnt running :'(

I am unable to reopen these opengles tests. Seems that its very unstable.

[aussiewan]

I am one step even closer to losing Windows Mobile!!

http://www.nexeo.net/?p=93

Work Email syncs with Exchange :D It seems to ONLY do Email at the moment... hopefully they will add Contacts, Calendar, Tasks etc soon.

I'm loving Android!! It's so much faster than WM doing most things! I'm getting used to the different locations for everything, but I'll get there :)

Faster than WM, hmmm not sure about that yet. But its getting there :D
need to hammer out all the crashes and bugs ;)

[babijoee]

I need some people willing to help me test some things :D
Both Diamond and Raph users

Install the raph/diam beta builds from connect-utb

Diamond:
http://connect-utb.com/index.php?option=com_rokdownloads&view=file&task=download&id=27:android-for-htc-touch-diamond-beta

Raph:
http://connect-utb.com/index.php?option=com_rokdownloads&view=file&task=download&id=26:android-for-htc-touch-pro-beta

And try to run the API Demo>Graphics>OpenGLes
Mainly i've been getting black screens, crashes and even the phone shutting off.
I was able to get it running once, and it ran beautifully. hw3d acceleration.
If you have run the tests in the past, you will notice that it was slow, laggy and lagged even more when you pressed the screen. Now its has no effect and runs smmmoooooth. :D
Then i was thinking how the GPRS connection works so i did remember playing xtrakt earlier in the day and then decided to try connect-utb new builds.
To my amazement it worked. So i just need some other people to confirm this.

Boot into WM and run a game that uses opengles such as xtrakt or COD. can't think of any others and then quit the game and launch haret and try the Opengles tests.
Please report you're finding and your device/type :D

I believe this can help the development, by seeing what HW needs to be activated in WM to work in android. :)

EDIT: NEOCORE NOW WORKS AND LOOOKS SO F@$#ING GOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Test results for neocore are as follow

Raphael
No sound = 18.3 FPS
With Sound = 16.3 FPS

Diamond:
No sound = untested
With Sound = untested

officia Dream device
no sound = averaging 22fps - 25fps
with Sound = couldnt find




On a side note, after doing this i have noticed that android is alot more stable. Could be placebo, but yeah would love to hear what other people have experienced

[butterdori]

DIAM100

Just tried it now and.....

This is AWESOME!

Truly incredible progress!
I'm liking it better than WM already, can't wait till we get wifi ready (and hopefully, the widgets in Sense UI)

Also, just to note, I cannot recalibrate the screen within android. Though it is usable, it isn't exactly accurate.

[pongothemagnificent]

Faster than WM, hmmm not sure about that yet. But its getting there :D
need to hammer out all the crashes and bugs ;)

Since the first dzo diamond zimage, open gl ES hardware acceleration has been working, i ran neocore,armadillo and mystic on that first zimage.

note: there's no need to run any open gl es game on wm, in order to have open gl es hardware acceleration on android, and btw if you want for this aplications to always execute use a 1.5 cubcake build not themed, they will work always, and 1.5 cupcake not themed is way faster than the themed 1.5 cupcake build's, on our diamonds/raphs.

Just tested on my Diamond, the OpenGL ES demos work very well, except for the 'Translucent GLSurfaceView', which didn't run.

When I showed the running android diamond to my 10-years-old boy, he asked: "is there any game to play?" I replied: "yeah, I think there is a game called 'snake'". Then he said "oh..." and turned away...

I have a dumb question: I saw a "AndroidApps" folder contains "Bejeweled.apk" application, how can I open it in Android?

Thanks a lot for the amazing diamond-android!

DIAM100

Just tried it now and.....

This is AWESOME!

Truly incredible progress!
I'm liking it better than WM already, can't wait till we get wifi ready (and hopefully, the widgets in Sense UI)

Also, just to note, I cannot recalibrate the screen within android. Though it is usable, it isn't exactly accurate.

are you referring to the Opengles tests or just android in general.
Anyways glad to hear it works for you. btw if you mean the opengles then could you post the results you get in neocore thanks :)

[babijoee]

Since the first dzo diamond zimage, open gl ES hardware acceleration has been working, i ran neocore,armadillo and mystic on that first zimage.

note: there's no need to run any open gl es game on wm, in order to have open gl es hardware acceleration on android, and btw if you want for this aplications to always execute use a 1.5 cubcake build not themed, they will work always, and 1.5 cupcake not themed is way faster than the themed 1.5 cupcake build's, on our diamonds/raphs.

Really?
Hrmmm going to try this for myself.
As for the themed version, i have tested it thoroughly and android will not run those test or even load neocore. Only after running an opengl game in WM then booting into Android does it let those things run
Btw what kinds of FPS scores are you getting for no sound and with sound in neocore?

[slovoflud]

can someone create an unthemed pack, please?

[RationalGaze]

Well on the themed build i can run all OpenGL ES demos except Translucent GLSurfaceView.... No need to run anything previously in WM. It's a DIAM100.

[Marcellus_pnz]

[---nevermind---]

[fwonz]

I need some people willing to help me test some things :D
Both Diamond and Raph users
Raphael
No sound = 18.3 FPS
With Sound = 16.3 FPS

Diamond:
No sound = untested
With Sound = untested

officia Dream device
no sound = averaging 22fps - 25fps
with Sound = couldnt find
[/B]



On a side note, after doing this i have noticed that android is alot more stable. Could be placebo, but yeah would love to hear what other people have experienced

Hi.. i have a diamond from o2 germany (diam 300?!?! but everybody just talks about 100 and 500)

Android looks stable and really fast for me with the pack from connect-utb (thx for that, really great work)
OpenGLes works fine and smooth,
but i don't know how to show the fps at the tests ??

I only see 33fps (stable) in the "Sprite Text".
"Translucent GLSurfaceView" does't run.


_____________________________________________
The thing that doesnt work for me is GPRS/3G...
Don't get a data connection...

Perhaps i've choosen the wrong APN settings for o2-germany (but i think i nearly tried every possible setting i've found in the net)...

Does the phone have to transfer data during startup of haret or should data connection should just be enabled?
(doesn't find a programm that transfers data long enough for that.. i always have UMTS and data is transferred to fast ..)

__________________________________________________ _______________
Thx a lot for this work !!!

The only thing i'm really missing is my bought version of tomtom for windows mobile ;/

[butterdori]

Anyways glad to hear it works for you. btw if you mean the opengles then could you post the results you get in neocore thanks :)

Ah sorry, I was jut referring to Android in general

For OpenGL ES, they all work except 'Translucent GLSurfaceView'
How can I test neocore?

Quick question though. How do I get back to home screen? The home button just brings up the menu.... and the back button only goes back to the previous process.

Oh and one more. If I want to set the language/locale to something other than the ones listed (Korean), do I need to build an img from scratch? Though there seems to be no problem with Korean output..... (input is another matter since there is no official Android device in Korea yet)

Concerning the UI, while most of the UI looks pretty good despite the fact that there are currently no VGA Android devices (when will we see them I wonder...), I can see some large pixels on some elements (analog clock widget for example).
For this, hopefully HTC will release some higher res android devices in the future.

Same here. Also got the DIAM300 and tried many different things.
But still I had no luck at all accessing the internet (even when having the G/3G symbol).

Is there anyone out there with a DIAM300 that has a data connection working in Android?


PS: You can read what version you have after taking out the battery.

[boas]

Anyone know the APN settings for Sprint?

Check out this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4483206&postcount=3711

There you should find what you need.

yes, it is working. But only if i switch in WM from 3g to gprs.

Then follow this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4483206&postcount=3711)

How do you switch from 3G to GPRS ?

[TaC]

DZO, there is some kind of problem in the last kernel with touchscreen. It's very unresponsive compared to 0906 version. :)

I was packeting a new build, but will wait until your kernel is fixed. ;)

[wrsg]

is it a known bug that once the screen is locked, when you try to unlock it by pressing menu, nothing happens/the screen stays black? this bug has been troubling me for a long time with android, and it is still in the latest beta version from connect-utb

ok i will try this, but how does this work if the screen is blacked out? maybe it does, i havent tried yet.

edit : wtf , it worked :) thanks, one more nail in the coffin of WM :D

[euromusic]

The hardware keyboard on my RAPH100 isn't working.
is there a fix?
thanks in advance

[jibet]

Hello,

I'm just became an Android adict :) Cool stuff guy and very good work. Really big progression !! Thk a lot and good luck.. I waiting for new build impatiently.

Cheers !

[radiance26]

It's work ! But the life of battery is very short :s

[counterfitninja]

Been testing this new build out on diam100.. can get very sporadic grps connections but drops after 2 mins, but i did manage to get google maps to work, and wow im impressed it matches if not beats that i have seen on the iphone....

any thoughts on the dropping grps?

[belsj]

how can i get the data settings in android. In the settings APN this is empty!!

[gyhor2]

How do you switch from 3G to GPRS ?

Change in the phone preferences from "Auto" to "GSM".

[TaC]

how can i get the data settings in android. In the settings APN this is empty!!

Select your network manually. Then you can add and save new APNs. Once done, you can select network automatically again.

[Riel]

EDIT: NEOCORE NOW WORKS AND LOOOKS SO F@$#ING GOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Test results for neocore are as follow

Raphael
No sound = 18.3 FPS
With Sound = 16.3 FPS

Diamond:
No sound = untested
With Sound = untested

officia Dream device

What happend to the resolution, the icons are a lot smaller then TaC's package. Also background doesn't fit. Trying out now

[belsj]

Select your network manually. Then you can add and save new APNs. Once done, you can select network automatically again.

Thanx, It's ok now. I didn't know you have to push the Home+Center button. Do you know the MTYPE for a Blackstone/Touch HD?

[Riel]

Get neocore by installing it via market.

ohmy it looks awesome hahaha
didn't know this thing could do that :)
It gets sweaty though :p :)


DIAM100: 17,5 FPS no sound
DIAM100: (sound stood off)

yeh...

press center and home :)
that worked for me

[thedicemaster]

What happend to the resolution, the icons are a lot smaller then TaC's package. Also background doesn't fit. Trying out now

other builds most likely ran android's native HVGA resolution upscaled, while this one runs android with the phone's native VGA resolution.

[Riel]

I like the bigger icons more :)

This VGA is quite tiny.

is there a setting in boot?\ing?

Well, anyway, I recommend going to the market and get some games, coz this android is just very good in gaming :D

[Tenny]

It appears that the DIAM500 is falling behind again. I can't seem to get it to boot properly. I am stuck with the white flickering screen like most.

Then we still have the mtype issue:
-mtype=2039/2040
---Colors are fine!
---Will Not Boot! (Waiting for SD Card)
-mtype=1805
---Boots slightly...
---White Screen that flickers black every ~15 seconds
---Colors are incorrect

Anyone with a DIAM500 make any more progress? Anyone have other ideas? I am using DZO's 09/09/09 Diamond zImage

[kilak]

You need to make sure the files are places in the root directory on your storage card or internal storage (for diamond). Meaning no more "tmp" folder or anything.. Just place the files in the root directory!

Thanks it work :D

Is it possible to have the startup.txt for SFR France please ?

i have actually :

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)
# 1=Hitachi 2=Topoly 3=Samsung
# mddi.width - width of the scaled display
# mddi.height - height of the scaled display (these should be multiples of 16 for the camera to work I think)
set cmdline "msmts_calib=115.105.863.911 msmvkeyb_toggle=off mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 lcd.density=240 ppp.apn=wapsfr ppp.username=none ppp.password=none no_console_suspend"
#set cmdline "no_console_suspend"
# fbcon=rotate:1
# console=ttyMSM0"
boot


but don't work :\

thanks

[Spike1506]

Is it a known bug that the phone doesn't charge when running Android? I tried it via USB to PC and the normal way. Both didn't work.

[kailashnj]

Yes its a known bug that the phone does not charge

Well it charges if it is connected when you boot Android, for both.

Yeah, I use a couple-line hack so that MMC works when mtype=2040, but android still doesn't boot. I just get the white screen and android is in an infinite loop trying to start, but crashing. SurfaceFlinger, power, batteryinfo, usagestats, and telephony.registry all die, which is why it can't boot.
Android worked on diam500 at the beginning of the summer, so I'm going to start reversing kernel changes and try figure out what it was.

Also, I can successfully load the wifi driver, but I can't test it because I can't boot android.

[Spike1506]

Well it charges if it is connected when you boot Android, for both.

That seems to work indeed.
My other problem is that I cannot sent SMS. I can receive them fine but sending one doesn't seem to work.

Furthermore: Great jobs devs! I really love the work you guys did.

[TaC]

Here we go. New bundle.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RSNHPETV

- Based in mssmison's squashfs adaptation of xrom1.4r3.
- Includes last DZO's kernel and last rootfs
- Added a few apps i like.

- Delete all files related to android (but folders) from root of storage.
- Copy all files in the pack, only change startup.txt if you need it.
- Be patient at first boot
- If you get an unresponsive screen or Android gets locked at startup, use zimage_old instead of zimage.
- Don't use wallpaper gallery to change wallpaper. Use images in sdcard instead.
- You may get random locks, sorry, i haven't a solution yet.
- All credits go to dzo, vilord and mssmison. Thanks enatefox for some tips.

Please, if you use or mirror this pack, give credits to those who deserve it.

Minor optimizations, base files updated, and a new rom to try.

[Untouchab1e]

Cool!

It didnt run on my Raph100 using the same startup.txt that I used with your previous pack. At a late stage in the console process the screen just goes black.. Il fool around a bit more and see what I figure out

EDIT: Use the zImage-Old and then it booted.. cool

I waited a minute or 5 on that black sceen an pop, there it was (diam100).




Question, I am not blind, but during Android inside a dark screen, it very light shows 'menu' and 'contacts' softkeys from windows mobile at (seen this ONCE!). I thought it was burnt-in but it was gone later. Is this not completedly unloading WM the issue? very strange to see... Hope I can picture it sometimes.

[saudoo]

Teeter for president! Please! :)

[mhndk14]

its up and running on diam140
the new ui is very good, it is better than previous one.
thank you.

[donald-c]

I think I am one of the few who actually like the theme, I REALLY like it lol.
I hope it is in the newer releases, the normal Android OS isn't really that nice, its better than WM still though :p

[boas]

YES! Thank you very much for a new ROM.

Using it on a Raph100.

So here's what I know right now.

3G - no go, used same method to set up, APNs etc. Don't work this time for me.
Android boots in to headset mode.

The menus is significantly faster (me like very very much!), but home screen is very slow, and having difficulties deleting icons etc... The touch screen is unresponsive from time to time ex: Can't use the dialpad during a call..

But its looking great!! Love the new rom regardless!!

EDIT: Having difficulties scrolling, it don't seem to want to, instead opens the first icon I manage to touch..
EDIT2: Repeated the APN process got some kind of connectivity, but it jumps on and off from the 3G (I'm 300meters in sight from basestation, so it's not bad coverage).

For the unresponsive screen, try rebooting. If that doesn't work, use zimage_old instead.

[boas]

For the unresponsive screen, try rebooting. If that doesn't work, use zimage_old instead.

Thanks for you answer! Will try!

Also, after some third and fourth try I now got a stable 3G connection :D

EDIT: Screen sensitivity got much better after the reboot.
EDIT2: Only got a stable 3G once, now system crashed, black screen and nothing is responsive =)
The best is how fast the menues and thing is, will try the zimage_old and see what happens =)

EDIT3: With the old kernel, the scrolling works, and menus still is fast.. But best is a stable 3G :)

[IceBone]

Hey, this new themed one actually works, but every once in a while the touch screen stops responding so I have to hit a hardkey to make it work again. o_O

EDIT: I kinda liked the previous Hero theme, though. :/

[Untouchab1e]

Its now up on Connect-UTB (http://connect-utb.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=194).

For those struggeling with getting data connection working, be sure to follow this guide (http://connect-utb.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=193), based on Babijoee's guide somewhere here a few pages back.

[IceBone]

UGH! I was _THIS_ close to posting in this thread from Android on my Diam100, but the stupid thing keeps shutting down due to a low battery, even though WM says there's 40% left!!!

[edgevision]

I'm on a RAPH800, on Bell Mobility in Canada.

First off, none of the builds or startup.txts provided in the new builds work for me. I snagged the mtype and msmts_calib lines from an earlier build on Connect-UTB specifically for the RAPH800.

Then it booted, except as soon as the UI loaded it decided I have 0% battery and immediately shut down.

So then I booted with USB cable. This time it booted fine and didn't auto-shutdown.

I don't have this phone's ESN activated at the moment (using a Vogue with Android instead). So I'm waiting until this project matures just a bit more before re-activating. Anyone that's used a Vogue knows how much better the specs and general hardware are on the Raphael. Nothing against the Vogue, it's just QVGA and old and meh-ish.

That being said, it's still faster than the Raph on WM. Raphael with Android is what I want, and from what I can tell it's blazing fast.

I'll post more results once I activate the phone.

Edit: Biggest ball-breaker is that the slide-out hardware keyboard isn't working, and (along with that) I can't figure out how to rotate the screen.

Hi,

right now im trying to get this one work on my Diamond GSM and put all the files in the zip file into a folder called tmp on my Internal Storage. From there I started the haret.exe and it's loading since 10 minutes and there are some numbers and a text. It looks like this "[ 2929.2615698] msmfb_start_dma 105.652 ms after vsync request". The first number is always counting up and I'm waiting and waiting ... it seems not to end. Can somebody help me ?

Can you give me a step by step instruction how to get it work? Because all the guides I read didn't get me Android working.

[IceBone]

Android or data on android?

[IceBone]

Yay, I found a wee sneaky way to see landscape lol.
Settings > About Phone > Contributors (then either wait or close it).

When you go back to the home screen it goes back to portrait but, so far Menus, SMS/keyboard & notifications work fine :) (It's the only things I have used)

I know a few if not most of you knew that but it's cool to me :o lol.

Yeah... It's not turning back... :(

EDIT: Ugh, another thing... is it possible to disable Android's automatic critical battery shut down procedure? It did that now at 80%...

[slawson]

so has any progress been made for us cdma users?

[kmartburrito]

so has any progress been made for us cdma users?

Not that has been reported as of yet. I'm going to remain patient, as I hope to be able to keep my $30 SERO plan on Sprint with Android on my TP, as it looks like they're going to force you to upgrade your legacy plan and pay twice as much per month to get the same features with their HTC Hero phone.

Eff that, but I've been waiting for Android on Sprint since the OHA formed, so it's really hard. Kudos to the dev team for accomplishing so much in the past couple of weeks!!

I'm hoping the CDMA stuff that Google released a few weeks back will eventually help out us CDMA users.

Hi,

The first number is always counting up and I'm waiting and waiting ... it seems not to end. Can somebody help me ?

did it actually end ? after about 15min i kinda lost patience too... Just hope it's a bit more responsive than the Nike, it's working pretty good in that 3G included

[smoothunit]

Yay a new build, how exciting!
I've tested a few now and never really had any problems except now when I boot haret I get it continuously scrolling screen text and not booting Android.

I've tried the included startup files but all give me the same problem. Is there anything I'm missing?
I'm on a Raph100 if it helps.

*Edit- exactly the same problem as the above poster*

[God_Lx]

Diamond 100 here, it's says it's a fsck, but i kinda doubt it could run for this long... the 4Gb internal storage isn't that bad...

Anyone could boot this latest package sucessfuly using the regular zImage ? i might try with the old one...

EDIT: Confirmed, old zImage works fine and booted without issues...

By the way for the less up to date don't use a tmp folder in storage card anymore, files should be on the root of the internal storage in Diamond.

UPDATE: Everything runs fine! I just had to delete the old files before copiing the new ones (including Data)
the two latest 09/09 builds woork much worse forme.

both speed and stability.

[MrPippy]

I've gone back to an 8-day old kernel revision (http://git.linuxtogo.org/?p=groups/mobile-linux/kernel.git;a=commit;h=093418e64bb93a2d0e0a49de4fc6 f3639d3deef1) that works on DIAM500. I use it with mtype=2040. It boots and runs, though its sluggish because GPU acceleration isn't being used.

[Styx81]

Hi all,

First of all, thanks for this great project! :)

I see that a loot of people have problem with mounting internal card (on Diamond), and they get the error:
"mount:mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /sdcard failed: InvaFailed
Failed to mount the SD card.cannot continue.
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

This is because the Internal card is set to logical partition, and not to primary partition.

A sollution is to use the Diskpart program thats included in Win7 & Vista.

1. Type "cmd" in start meny.
2. Type "diskpart" in command.
3. Type "list disk" (this shows all the available disks, your internal card should come up as a 3,5 GB disk. If it dosnt come up, then the Diamnod USB-settup is wrong. Try turning of activesync.
4. "Select disk x" (where x is the Diamond)
5. "List partition"
6. "Select partition X" (where x is the internal storage)
7. "Delete partitione"
8. "Make partitione primary"
9. "Exit"
10. "Exit"

Note that when I listed my partitions on my Diamond, it showed 2 partitions each with 3.5 GB. So I had to select & delete them both before I could make the primary partition (you have to do point 6&7 twice).

Now you need to Format the card to FAT32 before copying the files to the root of the card.

And please, be SHURE thats its your internal disk and NOT the computer disk you select as this will likely f... up your computer! :p

Hope this helps ppl!

[zmelkoow]

Hello guys!

I just put it on my internal storage. It seems to run properly but when I get to enter the PIN it allways says incorrect PIN number. I am surely entering the correct one.

You have to disable PIN in Windows Mobile or else it won't work.

[butterdori]

Very exciting stuff!
Though I have to say, the 0907 seems to be more stable than 0909 (perhaps because it has less stuff in it?)
For one, I cannot access the settings on the 0909 build

DIAM100 by the way

[IceBone]

Only problem with the latest one I have is the poor battery life. Everything else works great! Not gonna take long until I run android 24/7. :)

[fwonz]

Newest version of connect-utb works not for me (diam300 o2 branded) with new zimage (laggy touchscreen + behaviour).

With old zimage the build 0909 of utb works.
3G is still not working for me. Have to try it with GPRS(only) enabled in WM. Hopefully this will lead me to a working data connection.

Looking forward to a working version for my diam300 with 3g and better Power Management :>

But so far.. good work

[Riel]

I found a way to get the resolution allright (instead of 640x480)
(

Add this in set cmdline in startup.txt:

mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 lcd.density=240

I like it that way.




Battery has random drops, which causes the device to shutdown. The application is very stable, connectu-utb's android-diamond-20090807-BETA.rar is what I talk about.

Had it on for 16 hours, emailing, chatting, browsing. It was connected to power, and gets quite warm the whole time, but it works like a charm.


Anyone an idea about those winmo softkeys appearing? Is HAret unloading windows allright ánd can it be the reason of stableness?

I finally got all the WiFi pieces together, and loaded it successfully on my DIAM500 :) Google Maps was even able to guess my location correctly within 200 meters :eek: Hopefully builds with WiFi should be coming soon

[c4software]

Oh my god, The WiFi works with the lastest Kernel ? Or you have add some piece of code to have an working driver ?

Well, I guess my XMAS present to myself, namely - HERO, will stay in the shop... ;) :)

[FoxDesign]

NICE JOB!

I don't want WM6.5 on my diamond! i want Android!!!
it's 2nd life for the diamonds

I look forward a fully worked release!
(sorry for my english)

[Riel]

is it not like that by Default? :confused:


Not with all packages here I saw.

Great, the wifi! It goes fast now.


My main concern would be the powermanagement (and the heating of the device, don't you have that?) So the drop-outs will be gone.

[TaC]

great news, MrPippy. Good job.

[wrsg]

with the 090909 build (both the connect-utb and the one that someone put on megaupload) i get a performance degradation. its laggy as WM now :confused:

[cr2]

now we need to fix the GPS cid problem, and find out the reason for
the BT irq flood.

Amazing........... truly incredible

Consider what's been achieved in the past 7 days... GPU, audio, microphone, GPRS and now Wifi?

What do we have left now that is vital? Perhaps better power management and stability?

GPS, accelerometer, camera and radio can probably wait..

This is soooooooo exciting:D

Do we have already a PC synchonization? I noticed that it is possible to sync it with google, but I do need to make it with my PC.

[FrAsErTaG]

Wow I cant believe the progress thats being made, its flying along.

Im not going to ask if there is going to be a native loader because I know there is much to do before that kinda thing will be looked at.

But what I am wondering is how naked can my WM rom be? Ive been running 6.5 with all the android tests, is it possible to run on WM 6.1?

Im thinking a basic WM 6.1 rom ultra light with haret loading on start up would be cool.

Any thoughts?

[stefand]

with the 090909 build (both the connect-utb and the one that someone put on megaupload) i get a performance degradation. its laggy as WM now :confused:

I also have this problem, but when I boot with usb connected the performance is normal again.

[cr2]

GPS, accelerometer, camera and radio

GPS has an rpc communication problem, accelerometer driver works since ages, camera needs the rpc clock setup, and FM radio will work once BT uart will not crash the kernel irq handling.

[cr2]

if there is going to be a native loader

The nand driver works, so you can flash your linux ROM,
but we will certainly get problems with initializing the hardware.

LOL, the "classical" xda-dev rom cooking was about adding features to ROMs, and now you want to strip everything non-boot related from it ? :D
IMHO, such a rom will help to debug the hardware in a more efficient way too.

On the wiki page http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RaphaelLinux
it says that accelerometer does not work, so i just assumed it didn't

I stand happily corrected:D

"Does not work inside android" != "does not work in linux".
Somebody should adjust the android libs to pick up the accelerometer
data from an appropriate /dev/input/event*

I was also thinking about a rom that would load whole windows background, but not the windowmanager etc. So it immediatedly starts HARet.

I believe that a big part of memory is still in use by windows by the way.

I Think this is a great idea if android runs finally nearly without errors.


So far anybody there who got the diam300 working with gprs and/or 3g with the version of connect-utb?

[XaDuE]

when sms works OK and batery too, it will be GREAT!

[saudoo]

Only thing is that processes like downloading SMS and receiving calls should be disabled under WM, so that we won't download anything to our WM before Haret gets loaded, thus making us unable to open/read it from Android.

[Riel]

I don't think so.


What is the reason, the connection should be established?
Is it that linux detects the right hardware settings? When it happened once, it could be hardcoded, I mean the state after detection / working hardware could be saved.

[Riel]

btw played around with the cat command and

/dev/input/event0 are all the keys AND capacitive scrollwheel (not powerbutton)

/dev/input/event1 is the touchscreen
/dev/input/mouse0 is touchscreen too

/dev/input/event2 keeps giving a lot out output but not gsensor


all others /dev/input/mice and mouse1 don't seem to give anything.




Quite interesting, cat /dev/log/events keeps giving output about transactionservices, downloads and phone, not all readable by the way.

(Oh, it probably is known to devs but I am so curious) ":p

[stefand]

when sms works OK and batery too, it will be GREAT!

sms is allready working.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RaphaelLinux

I also just did send and received an sms myself with the latest build.

[IceBone]

Yup, sms is working. When I'm at home, I keep it connected to the pc so it charges via USB and I'm never out long enough for the battery to drain completely (it lasts about 5 hours). I'm not using WM anymore at all, even data was downloading at 100 kB/s yesterday!!!

Since we've got market working, anyone recommend any good apps? I tried downloading that opengl benchmark thingy but it didn't work. :(

[IceBone]

Hmm... quick error report that I've just noticed. At times, the hardkeys don't do their job. I got a call, but couldn't answer... I noticed that the way to fix it is to slide my fingers over the buttons so the backlights come on, but I didn't think of it when I was wondering why the hell my phone isn't answering the call... :/

I called the person back and the connection was fast and flawless, though. :)

thank's for your work.

I just better version of it 09.09.09 - so I look forward to the new version, how will all this work I move entirely to an android.

And how best to get an android?

Speaking of display dpi, anything other than 185 makes widgets look weird... :/

Wow this is great news. Glad to see some DIAM500 progress! Let me know if you need any help testing anything. I would be glad to help in anyway I could!

Edit: I got your 09/09/09 zImage running on it... A tad slow as you said but working!

Edit2: Able to make calls / hear sounds, but no mic heh!

Edit3: Getting a lot of random soft-resets.

[scope008]

Something very strange happened... After running Haret and rebooting, my Raphael 110 (FUZE) is suddenly completely app locked. It will only run built-in programs, and won't let me install anything including signed apps. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Is there any solution that doesn't require a hard reset?

Try reading the posts,i think u find an answer to your question!:rolleyes:

[Tenny]

So on my DIAM500, I can boot into Android once, then every time after that it crashes. I delete data.img and it works again...

Anyone run into this before?

[diabolik]

I know I am repeating myself but when I save my apn sfr he did not record it is there a solution thank you

[RationalGaze]

There is a solution, just read a few pages back.

I noticed something strange. When setting my apn, it didn't work until I entered my apn NAME (that thing, that should be irrelevant) exactly the same as it is, when i auto detect gprs settings in WM. So when i had "simobil" or "simobil gprs" or "simobil internet" it didn't work. The connection was constantly redialing. When I entered "si.mobil GPRS" it started working like a charm.

So, if for any of you guys (or girls) the data connection still isn't working, try to set the NAME exactly the same as it auto configures itself in WM. It worked for me, but I have absolutely no logical explanation why...

[sd00]

Why should it be sticky?
I think everyone knows about this thread, if they need something, they'll look after it. And if there's an update, it will be posted here, by witch the thread will automatically go up.
I think there's no need to sticky this thread.
Sorry for the offtopic post.

[freakolowsky]

Hmm ... another simobil user :D

I guess i'll just wait until you have it setteled. Keeping my fingers crossed to be able to have Android on my RAPH100 by years end.

Two thumbs up for the progress ppl.

[RationalGaze]

Freakolowsky, no need to wait :) Android is already running pretty stable and is already a lot of fun to have on your raph ;) I am already spending more time in android than i am in WM (well, i'm in android until it "dies" due to poor battery management, then i switch to WM, which still show about 40% of battery).

Plus, it's a fun thing watching the development of android on your own phone ;)

[ElCondor]

...

Indeed it's very cool to see the progress. Actually it would be very nice if we could use apptodate or something similar to directly update android when there's a new version out.
Really not important, but it would be cool and usefull though.

No, you can't start wifi...yet. would be very nicevif people would read a bit more than just the first and the last page.

Btw, has anyone noticed their device getting rather hot while using android? Could it be beacuse the always on gprs connection? My diam100 gets hot using android, even if idle in that leather pouch in my pocket. Well...its hot even idling on my desk. And i mean hot as being warm :P

Yes, is soo hot that you can frie eggs... xD
But it's not because of the constant gprs connection, 'cause I don't use it and my diam100 is realy hot 2.

[RationalGaze]

Hmmm well, maybe android is using more CPU power than WM... can anyone else confirm the "overheating"?

[boas]

Hmmm well, maybe android is using more CPU power than WM... can anyone else confirm the "overheating"?

I would not call it overheating, but sure, while using the 090609 release the phone was very hot. Even a bit hotter while using wlan i WM with no power saving.

But I have not seen this issue with the latest release.

EDIT: Well, this heating I've got came after activating the 3G connection, and I'm using a Raph100.

[dzo]

I just got power collapse working, this means the apps CPU is completely powered down when it goes to sleep and should give lots of power savings. There are still some things that don't power down (panel and microp) but power should be better.

Get the latest diamond kernel from here:

Amazing, will try it right away!! I "knew" that it was good to stay up checking this forum :rolleyes:

UPDATE: Boots up and everything is as it was last time I tested it. Will try tomorrow and see how good the battery is compared to the 090609 version (managed 5h30min with a 45min call with in that time).

Now i've got a 3g connection, but cant fetch data off it :)

UPDATE2: Hmmmmm now this is new. I left the raph on the table for 10 mins without touching it. Now it wont get back to life, it does not react to any input at all.. But still seems to be powered on... :)

OK, I left it on all night and it was fine but it seems that when i took my debugging code out it broke something because it doesn't wake sometimes now. I'll try to fix it later but at the moment it doesn't work.

[ruskprick]

guess this last code was ment for the raphael? Would u be so kind to take the time writing down wich hardware its ment to?it wouldnt take so much of ur time,would it?

[ruskprick]

Ive seena couple of posts thats generally writen,but since raphael end diamond is such different hardware would it be that unpolite askising to keep those two in seperate?
Not only is the diamond100 a spererat hardware,why involve the diamond140/500 ?lets please keep the things seperate?!:rolleyes::cool::eek:

I have a Diam100 and the 12/09 image works, the battery knows its being charged (even without having charger in when booting) however it was unstable when trying to answer incoming calls and the buttons just failed to work 2 out of 3 times. So back to TaC's package (with 0609zimage) which is working well.

Waiting impatiently for wireless to be working!!!

[toastcfh]

well i got android running on my diam500 finally. thanx to the image mrpippy posted a few pages back.i it boots and runs desent. i got a few problems though... for one theres no data, which is prolly cuz im on sprint. i do have phone sevice though... kinda. when i place a call it shows conected but there no sound and it really never calls. when im bein called, theres no ring sound and when i answer agaian theres no sound in the ear peice and no one can hear me at all. i can however send and receive text with no problem. so i was wonderin if anyone might have any ideas on possible solutions to all or any of these problems.

[babijoee]

Using the new zImage 12/9 the device locks up but pressing the UP dpad button turns on the screen. Will do further testing
The OpenGL es tests run alot more smoother. :D Overall system is displaying smoother transisitions. Good work dzo

[cubie.HTC]

Just tried zImage 12/09 with the lastest package in connect-utb.com. The 'android' logo is gone during startup. Some applications (such as Acrobat Reader and QuickOffice) that need to access local files will cause following error:

The Application file Browser (process com.htc.FilePicker) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Uhm.. I can't really help you there. If I remember correctly Jobo wrote a smaller guide on the issue a couple of hundred pages ago. Like finding a needle in a haystack. One thing I can ask you to try, is to have the USB cable plugged into your phone on boot. I know that's the only way we are able to recharge our phones, so it might provide a helping hand in order to get USBNet working.

Im removing the FCK0000 file before loading into android everytime, this solved the freezing issue upon startup for me.

I've been trying to get usb networking to work... But no luck so far...
(Kernel 2.6.30)
I've made sure I have the usbnet module - but what else do I need?
When re-plugging the USB cable nothing is found... (according to dmesg).
So, what do I need to usbnet to work?

On Diamond, by default USB is used for adb (android debug), not usbnet. Add this into your kernel cmdline: "board-htcdiamond.adb=0" to disable adb and enable usbnet. Also, at boot you need to bring up the usb interface: "ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.206 up" would enable it with an IP address of 192.168.0.206.

Having tested the new kernel today, it is nice!

I am getting battery warnings all the time, and it did shut down automatically once. I'm getting less home screen crashes now, and the 3G is even stable now, but 3g is very weird(unstable from boot to boot...

Actually I have managed to install several apps from marketplace, but then it warned that I was out of memory. I aborted and then downloaded and installed tree much larger appz without warnings..

But it really starts to look good! As soon as the battery holds more than 24 hours, and can be charged properly, then I will use Android instead of WM!

Great job all of you that is working on the project!!! You honestly give us plenty of hope for our not so new phones!! :):):p

...for our not so new phones!! :):):p

Funny thing is that they're really no more than 14 months old. :\

Thank you! That worked like a charm! :D

Hmm... I frankly see no difference between 090909 and 120909... It still thinks 40% battery is critical and attempts to shut down, but just hangs there showing the "shutting down" sign and the data connection keeps dropping every few seconds. :/

I've made some improvements to the power collapse code, it will still use too much power because not all devices are shut down but shouldn't lock up when asleep now.

Someone help me here...:( when i try to use one of these zImages I dont know how to download it.

When I click on the link it opens in code and when i "save target as" it saves it as an IE file that the bootloader cannot use. Do I need some other pc software?????:confused:

try holding the crtl button when you try to download the file or right click on it and select save as. Also maybe try firefox if you haven't yet.

You do not need anything special to download the file though.

Just a few questions.

1. Is vertical scrolling not working?
(I'm also finding the screen much less responsive, than before)

2. Are there any real hero builds?

3. Is the END button always supposed to be lit?

4. Any way to remap the buttons?
(I want to make the power button lock screen)

Who has an alternate link to Connect-UTB? I think their links are being attacked by bots or they aren't used to the traffic. http://connect-utb.com/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&Itemid=58&task=summary&cid=33&catid=4

That download link won't even work.

[God_Lx]

Links are working fine now, infact i tried earlier and everything was fine...

Are there any Hero System.img around ? I'm trying some Vogue ones but not with much sucess...

[RationalGaze]

Just left my diam100 in android and charging over night. When i woke up, i couldn't wake up the screen. But the lights on the capacitative touch panel were lighting up when touched. So...it was still in android. Just some info for the developers.

Would hard reset and deleting everything on my internal storage and fresh installing android do any difference? What do you guys think? Beacuse my internal storage is pretty much messed up :D files everywhere...

Fantastic! Thank you for your hard work!!
Will try the new kernel during the day starting 10mins ago :)

(not testing with 3G/GPRS connection)

The automatic light on diamond works nice. The battery improvements too.

Nice works for the last zImage.

[Erik_PLD]

The best of this last build, in my opinion at least is the posibility to charge the battery directly in andro and not from wm.
Thanks!!!

Nice! What phone do you use? This does not work with a Raph100 (unless the mini-usb is connected during boot).

Wanted to drop this while writing. Upon Android boot the battery was 100% (fresh out of the charger), but when booted it reported 89% not 98% or something that it should have been closer to. The indicator in spare parts, gives variable readings, the phone has been online a few hours now. The indicator "walks" from 81-83 and even lesser and higher (%). It does not matter very much, but better write of it than not too.. :o:)

When I hit the download message here: http://connect-utb.com/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&Itemid=58&task=summary&cid=33&catid=4

I get HTTP 500 Server Error. It still doesn't work.

Rational I'd just pull the battery out before you hard reset. My phone has done this to me before before with WinMo. I didn't lose anything.

Edit:

I got it working with separate download link:

Don't use that version unless if you really don't want to test the newest new kernels. Use this link http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/ This download the latest zimage-diamond and replace + rename (delete datafiles aswell) then boot Haret.exe.

I use diam100. Nevertheless the battery discharge still being too fast.
Yesterday I did almost the same test, but in android.
I started the test at 18:49 and the battery power was 60%. Later, at 20:17 the battery reports 30%. All this was made whit the zImage-12/09.
Let's try the new one.
