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

[phhusson]

I did :# setprop net.dnschange 41
was 40 before.
But both net.dns1 and dhcp.wlan0.dns1 were already defined.
Err, what's happening then ? What does browser say ?
Can you ping ip addresses ? (local and remote) ?IP addresses of your DNS ? ping hostnames ?

[GlemSom]

That's not mine :p

That little differences wasn't expected at all, so i assume calibrations aren't redone for every phone.
Can you make any relations with these differences and your MAC in WiMo ? (in linux it's randomly generated)

Naah, not really... (my mac is 00-18-41-94-fa-17)

Maybe it has something to do with the radio installed?
I'm using radio 1.11.25.01 in WM 6.1

[sllyname]

(in linux it's randomly generated)

That is good to know, I've spent several hours thinking wifi was broken, when really it just had a goofy mac. Where is this random mac generated.

PS. it would really be helpful if all wifi questions/sugggestions were in a wifi thread maybe only 20 or 30 pages long. Or even different versions of android/kernels in there own thread. Hopefully in there own "Porting Andriod/Linux" forum, that all the Raph/Diam/Kais/Vogue info could be together 500+ pages is silly.

or in the Diamond Sub-forum, alongside Diamond ROM development.

[sllyname]

or in the Diamond Sub-forum, alongside Diamond ROM development.

That would work, but should there also be a subforum in Kaiser, Sapphire, Blackstone, Raphael, Vogue, etc? For me there is more interest in following the development on other hardware than any WiMo cooking. That's why I read the Diamond forum, when I have a Raphael.

[sorrowt]

That would work, but should there also be a subforum in Kaiser, Sapphire, Blackstone, Raphael, Vogue, etc?

why not? I think that would make more sense than having a thread with 500+ posts for each forum!!!

[9600xt]

I did :# setprop net.dnschange 41
was 40 before.
But both net.dns1 and dhcp.wlan0.dns1 were already defined.

Is this command should return a valid ip ?
#nslookup www.google.com
here is my result :

# nslookup www.google.com
nslookup www.google.com
Server: 0.0.0.0
Address 1: 0.0.0.0

nslookup: can't resolve 'www.google.com'

i have the same identical problem with the same output for
nslookup www.google.com
and my browser wan't load any page, and any other programs that uses internet wan't work

[Dun74]

Err, what's happening then ? What does browser say ?
Can you ping ip addresses ? (local and remote) ?IP addresses of your DNS ? ping hostnames ?

No, ping don't work. Local, remote adresses, hostnames, ip same result.
The only one working is my local address (127.0.0.1 or 192.168.2.9) just to be sure.

[H3x]

well from what dzo says the diamond doesnt scale the display. so until that can happen sense ui builds wont boot. it needs to be implimented in kernel. this is most likely why you have a black screen.
if someone could post some logcat output i could be sure this is the case because surfaceflinger will be crashing.

I've got adb and logcat working. Is there a way to pipe the output to a file, cause there's a crap load. I suspect it's looping, but it's going to fast for me to see. I did do a bugreport also and there was an error in dumping the SurfaceFlinger service...

I still don't understand why mddi scaling isn't working... it's working for Vogue AFAIK, so why not for Diamond? Are the command line parameters (mddi.width=320) just being ignored? This is so frustrating.

Is there a way to set mddi.width/height during runtime, maybe via adb? Then I could try testing in Rosie to see if it works.

Any Kernel developers care to share some wisdom? Is scaling working? Could we get it to? I'm sure a lot of people would love seeing Sense on their Diamonds. The performance would be much better than on Vogue at least.

[ND4SPD]

I still don't understand why mddi scaling isn't working... it's working for Vogue AFAIK, so why not for Diamond? Are the command line parameters (mddi.width=320) just being ignored? This is so frustrating.

When you boot up haret.exe, you will see that is says ignoring for the mddi.width, mddi.height, and lcd.density commands.

[phhusson]

Here is a a beta test version (yes it's even more unstable than usual.), which is supposed to get bluetooth @ 4Mbps (thanks to cr2, and i hate android even more now.), 3G data connection, with some heavy DNS problems, i get it once for 4 tries on average. And power management's back, should save a lot of power.
About power, a known bug is that disactivating wifi drains a lot of power. So don't turn it on or don't turn it off.
http://www.cobaltcode.com/fileupload/data/Android/AllInOne/android-donut_diam-raph-01-11-09.7z

When you boot up haret.exe, you will see that is says ignoring for the mddi.width, mddi.height, and lcd.density commands.
This only means that kernel is ignoring these options, but userspace can take it in account. For donut releases, lcd.density is used. Only mddi.* are actually ignored.

[toastcfh]

for those who want to test command lines over usb throw windows pcs i'll try to explain howto (fell free to correct me if I miss something :D):

download android sdk 1.6 extract it somewheere in preference in root of ur hard drive
add ~\tools pathname to variables path of windows
connect ur diamond under winmo and run haret windows detect msm usb when kernel boots ignore drive installation at this stage

when android boots it's detected again as usb composite and msm usb install the driver located at androsdk\usb driver
now u r reaady to use it
fire comand line under windows and tap adb shell
tap bash
u have a remote shell to android I assume that u know how to use it ;)

thanx man, i will try tommarrow. benn tryin in linux with no event. maybe windows will be nicer to me.


edit/ freakin driver woulnt install. think its my kernel. i only got the msm device found and it only did it once in haret. just need a newer kernel

[H3x]

...userspace can take it in account. For donut releases, lcd.density is used. Only mddi.* are actually ignored.

What do you mean by "userspace"? Is there a way to set mddi.* other than with kernel params?

So far this is most stable version in my RAPH100 :) Wifi, 3g, interface, i was able to play for more then a hour, installing/uninstalling applications ...

Great work :)

edit: 1 minute after i submit this it freeze :-D ... but still it was most stable i ever try on my raph ...

[cubetto]

Please, is there no way to give an order to this thread? It's impossible searching on 500+ pages

Thanks

[fcnaben]

Firstly, excuse me for my English (I am French) and a big thank you for your work.

I manage to run Android on my Diamond 100 but I can not have the 3G connection DATA.

I configured the APN, change the Startup.txt.

I have the 3G icon but I start the browser I have no connection ...

Does someone can help me?

I tried all the packages available and currently I am with that of phhusson.

@ phhusson: Is this you can help me in French?

hi, Glemsom

http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/special-diamond-raphael-wifi-bluetooth/

this kernel build has pwermanagement???, because if it has is superrr OK, nu restart when it goes to sleep.

No. only kernel before 21september have it, or mine.
If mine doesn't work you can try setting pm.sleep_mode to 3, 4 or 5 in cmdline.
And bluetooth won't work (not really sure about it) with this kernel and my latest build

You mean that in your kernel that bug LCD+power on diamond is fixed? or remouvet from code?

[phhusson]

You mean that in your kernel that bug LCD+power on diamond is fixed? or remouvet from code?
Oops, i've been mistaken. I shouldn't work that late...
So i changed nothing in kernel but BT clocks and activating idle stats in /proc/msm_pm_stats, nothin related to PM actually ... well you can play with pm.idle_sleep_mode while you couldn't before, but that's it.

[kholk]

I really don't realize why PM is removed from kernels after the 11 september builds.
PM makes the device usable...
I mean that without PM we can't normally use Android because the device restarts automatically and/or has a noticeable battery drain that makes impossible to use it daily!

If the PM can be reenabled in the kernel, why don't? :P

Actually PM wasn't disactivated ... That was just "day"dreaming @ 1AM.
Well it was disactivated because of my sensors code, which has been fixed now.

I am a former sprint touch (vogue) Android user and just had to dig out my diamond seeing all of the progress lately on porting to this device. I am on sprint, and my machine number listed in About is Raph800. I went and downloaded the latest Raph files from UTB-Connect (http://www.connect-utb.com/index.php?option=com_rokdownloads&view=folder&Itemid=68&id=3:htc-raphael) and sure enough it booted up nicely. I cannot comment on data/voice, etc since the device is not active on my account, but before I go ahead and switch back from the vogue I have to get the resolution color issue sorted out. I've read most of the thread this weekend and it seems that the mtype of 2040 * I think, this is from memory) in default was supposed to correct this, but is said to only work with certain kernels. I noticed that the default.txt in the bundle I downloaded from UTB-connect had the mtype of 1910. Just curious if there are any other Sprint Diamond users on here that are running Android at a good resolution and color with mostly stable voice and data. I don't have concerns with wifi or bluetooth at this time. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

And I do think we need some wiki updates with device specific info since there are so many version of this handet. I'll be glad contribute to Sprint Diamond protion, once I figure out a robust combination of files.

Thanks!

Ok, but he doesn't work again .....

Do you modofy the STARTUP.TXT with the data on APN ....

[phhusson]

That's no longer needed.
Look at adb logcat. Most likely you don't get dns. You can also see getprop in adb shell

I have a DNS pb, because when i make a nslookup on www.google.com, iy's he can't resolve...

[RationalGaze]

6hrs + with the last package(disabled wifi/bt, couple of calls and around 10SMSs)! Still not quite there but very impressive!

I do get the edge symbol, but no connection. Phone freezes if i try to sign in to google and it goes to standby. Screen orientation is still buggy (when upside down, it thinks it's in normal position).

Overall the best package yet. Stand by - resume works like a charm, the system is responsive, SMS works... Almost ready for day to day use.

WiFi - i was only able to connect to a WPA secured network. Unsuccesful connecting to a open security network... (is this a known bug/is it only happening to me?).

can somebody help me?!
i want to write sms with 20090909 but everytime i have an error
how can i write sms?
please help me?

Hi folks !

Here's a little upgrade to the last build. I made an error (mea culpa) doing the last package for phh which lead to the data connection misconfiguration. I corrected this and now the 3g connection works fine, at least for me so feel free to post some feedbacks if it doesn't for you.
We also added a little thing that enables wifi to stop completely when disabled in Android, saving even more battery and preventing it to be drained, which also caused the device to heat up. The sensors library has also been improved : the verbose has been disabled in the logcat.

As usual, try it, enjoy it, and don't forget to report about it !

Can someone please (not neccesary leobaillard) just post the parent cobalt link for the parent package for this fix.. I know that it may be possible to search and find but if I don´t ask, someone else will ;) I personally have a big problem keeping all the things I tested fresh in mind. I mean, how many Glemsom kernels, babijee packages and hhusson/leobaillard packages have you tried ? I slowly begin to get the point that newly arrived thead readers recently made.

I think i built more ARM kernels in the past few weeks than i ever did for x86 actually.
x86 is not funny, everything works okay or is not understandable so nothing to hack in it :p

You have the calibration in the root of your sdcard right ?

[rpgman]

Thanks a lot for this new release : after another reboot i open the web browser and that's work :)

but something strange the screen take a lot of tries to go left or right :p but i can open normaly notification or the screen for applications, strange

And i've got now the warning for battery under 15% (red battery) and then the battery goes green again :p

Is there a quick way to disconnect Edge (no 3G? usualy i've got 3g at home) I put "Fly" :p

A last question for tonight : if i connect on power : nothing happens but is the battery "refuel" under android? :p

[cubetto]

You have the calibration in the root of your sdcard right ?

I say Yes, if calibration file is the file modules_etc...

[phhusson]

I say Yes, if calibration file is the file modules_etc...
calibration file is a file named calibration.
Search in the thread for how to get that. There is a link of someone's calibration file which might work for you if you're too lazy to make one.

[phhusson]

Thanks a lot for this new release : after another reboot i open the web browser and that's work :)
Great :)


And i've got now the warning for battery under 15% (red battery) and then the battery goes green again :p
This one is really a pain to fix, i'll give it some tries

Is there a quick way to disconnect Edge (no 3G? usualy i've got 3g at home) I put "Fly" :p
Use the power management widget, i think the 3rd icon does that. (but i'm not sure as i don't have any 3G data connection :( )

A last question for tonight : if i connect on power : nothing happens but is the battery "refuel" under android? :p
You must have your phone connected when you started android. You can also do echo 1 > /dbgfs/htc_battery/charger_state

[rpgman]

I say Yes, if calibration file is the file modules_etc...

No, the calibration file is a file named calibration in the root of sd, to make one you have to use and old build and activate the wifi till it create the file then you keep it and you can try new builds. Check some page before to see some how to.


PS: when i boot back to windows my battery was to 16%, i think i was up than 50% before testing this build, i put in power a little then go to sleep ^^ (want to have power for alarm for sure :p :) ) i'll test tomorrow for battery use (start at 100%)


phhusson: for the disconnexion part i mean to disconnect data quickly (and keep network for calls)
for 3G i mean it's strange that under Android i connect in Edge when i usely connect in 3G at home

[Dayd]

Yeah!! thanks for this update and for all the work! :)

3G, wifi works.

[mchh]

Here is my quick report using last updated phh & leobaillard's files (booted it 4 times so far):

- Wifi: works very well with DHCP, even if not loaded while executing Haret in WM

- Calling:Random bug: sometimes, i can't make any call (just get a short signal and android ends the call)

- SMS: can't send any sms, neither receive them (I already had that issue about 2 months ago and never figured out how I resolved it ..)

- 3G works pretty well, but sometimes doesnt work at all (seems to happen when calls are unavailable)

- Power Management seems fine, screen and backllight go off and on (I noticed that while making a call, when the screen goes off, I had to fight with the keypads to make it wakup and to be able to end the call).

Sometimes the lights of the touchpad stays on, sometimes only the 'back arraow' keypad is working.

Thanks for your work .. we're getting almost there ! :D

Anyway don't expect it to last long. You might get 10 hours at most if sleeping and lucky.

phhusson: for the disconnexion part i mean to disconnect data quickly (and keep network for calls)
I meant that too. What does this actually if not that ?
for 3G i mean it's strange that under Android i connect in Edge when i usely connect in 3G at home
3G/2G automic switch has always been a mystery to me, for both windows and linux.
Maybe you were connected as 2G in windows when booting ? Or the 2G option is ticked in android ? (iirc this one does nothing but i'm not so sure)

[Dayd]

@mchh (sorry for my bad english :p)

for sms: with ATcommander.exe under WM, type:
AT+CSCA="0609001390"

and boot into android.
it should work... it's works for me (sfr and french ;).

Hi Andro,
Not quite sure what you are asking for, but you can browse the folder where the files are here:
http://www.cobaltcode.com/fileupload/data/Android/AllInOne/

I have heaps of storage space, bandwidth, etc on that web host, so if anyone would like me to put something, or set up something themselves, let me know. I can set up Joomla, Drupal, phpBB, whatever. I've got PHP, CGI, mySQL, etc supported on it. I can also set up a subsite, such as android.cobaltcode.com if that would make it easier, too.

300Gb of storage and 3Tb of transfer a month that I barely use - help me make the usage graphs show something! :)

Edit: Didn't realise there were 2 pages after that post! :S Either way, offer still stands. If anyone can think of a good way to make use of my web hosting to make things easier for people, then just let me know and I'll set something up.

@mchh (sorry for my bad english :p)

for sms: with ATcommander.exe under WM, type:
AT+CSCA="0609001390"

and boot into android.
it should work... it's works for me (sfr and french ;).

thank you Dayd but I already tried it, it solved the problem about 2 months ago when I played with the AT commander (I posted this solution :)), the smsc *#*#4636*#*# in android (which doesnt seem to help) and the phone's settings under wm.

I guess I'll have to give it another try tomorrow, it's becoming too late for my brain :p

Here is my quick report using last updated phh & leobaillard's files (booted it 4 times so far):

- Wifi: works very well with DHCP, even if not loaded while executing Haret in WM

- Calling:Random bug: sometimes, i can't make any call (just get a short signal and android ends the call)

- SMS: can't send any sms, neither receive them (I already had that issue about 2 months ago and never figured out how I resolved it ..)

- 3G works pretty well, but sometimes doesnt work at all (seems to happen when calls are unavailable)

- Power Management seems fine, screen and backllight go off and on (I noticed that while making a call, when the screen goes off, I had to fight with the keypads to make it wakup and to be able to end the call).

Sometimes the lights of the touchpad stays on, sometimes only the 'back arraow' keypad is working.

Thanks for your work .. we're getting almost there ! :D

What's your device ?

[AndroHQUist]

Hi folks !

Here's a little upgrade to the last build. I made an error (mea culpa) doing the last package for phh which lead to the data connection misconfiguration. I corrected this and now the 3g connection works fine, at least for me so feel free to post some feedbacks if it doesn't for you.
We also added a little thing that enables wifi to stop completely when disabled in Android, saving even more battery and preventing it to be drained, which also caused the device to heat up. The sensors library has also been improved : the verbose has been disabled in the logcat.

As usual, try it, enjoy it, and don't forget to report about it !

Here's the update (rootfs.img and system.sqsh) : http://www.cobaltcode.com/fileupload/data/Android/BuildUpdates/build-update_donut-1.6_2-11-09.7z

This build is really fast and good. I can for some reason not shutdown android. That has been impossible for quite some time. Maybe thats a known issue or maybe its just me ?:confused:

its bitter sweet to say this but i won the war against sprint and they gave me a hero for free today. so i guess its one more man down on the diam500 efforts.

humm this new update http://www.cobaltcode.com/fileupload/data/Android/BuildUpdates/build-update_donut-1.6_2-11-09.7z makes my DIM100 slower, battery consumes more faster and sometime appear an error saying "Activity Home (in.process.acore) is not reponding. :/

tks for the hard working of developers !
i can use wireless, 3g and blutooth without problems :)

[gleng]

if any of you guys can get me a cdma diamond i'll make all my android ports for it. i see your already running several of them. send me a pm and let me know. i've pretty much decided to move to diamond development once i can get a phone to test on.
you guys need a couple good dev's on this project. Someone hit zenulator up on his offer, he did some great work for the vogue port of android.
Should be easy enough to get all the current android builds that are floating around the dream forums running.

Very nice release! Dpad did not work on first boot but on second. I have not got the phone to charge once with the w-lan working builds.

And after about 5 min inactivity the phone reboots automatically.

Great job!! You are amazing!

[DIAM100]
This build fixes my 3g connection problems! I have removed the ppp.* lines from the startup.txt and could instantly connect on startup, this is briljant!

The only downside is that when 3g is used it draws so much current that the battery monitor bug causes android to complain about low battery.

[rpgman]

Use the power management widget, i think the 3rd icon does that. (but i'm not sure as i don't have any 3G data connection :( )

I forget to say : i only had Edge because under winmobile i disable 3G. I put it On and restart android and i've got 3G when avalaible ^^

You must have your phone connected when you started android. You can also do echo 1 > /dbgfs/htc_battery/charger_state

Ok, thanks. The power manager widget stay empty the first time i launch it, i'll have to figure out what does each buttons (the first ones it's ok ^^) i'll search for manual for android phone.

The touch went ok after some time (i can go left and right faster)

For charging battery, i can not tape numbers under terminal, seems that's working before.

A strange thing i never told :p each time i use android my time in winmobile goes one hour back (only once)

[fcnaben]

just for information, my connection work fine with th new package.

Hello,

I tested last release (20091027) on my diamond 100.

It's pretty stable with basics functionnality but I have few very enoying issues:

3G : When I configure a 3g connection and the device tries to connect it result a system freeze and nothing else to do except a soft reset of the device.
SMS: I cannot set the smsc number in the telephone device, after pressing update or refresh, it answers all the time "update failed or refresh failed"
Power management: On my phone, the backlight turns off but the screen is still on, is it "normal" ?
Screen orientation doesnt work : should it work?

For information, for the 3g, I am in France using SFR network with a "illimythic 3g" subscription.
If anyone have some informations related to this issues, thanks for sharing :)

By the way thanks to all the other for their wonderfull job !!! Continue guys !

This is a bug that has been pestering me from early kernel builds. It seems that the DPAD buttons are sometimes not initialized - when this happens, touching/swiping the DPAD does not cause the DPAD to light up and DPAD presses do not register with Linux/Android.

A solution that I found is to MAKE SURE WM initializes the DPAD by USING it (pressing/swiping) before launching Haret.

[H3x]

BTW, what is the situation with the kernel git (http://git.linuxtogo.org/?p=groups/mobile-linux/kernel.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/htc-msm-2.6.27)? The last commit was more than 2 weeks ago. Is development just slow?

[MrVarioII]

Hey Folks,

Well Android booting! So far so good!

Wonder if I could post up for the collective wisdom of the masses....

I'm trying to get the data connection operative. I'm using this build (version 20091027):

http://www.connect-utb.com/index.php?option=com_rokdownloads&view=folder&Itemid=68&id=5:htc-diamond#mce_temp_url#

And as I understand it the settings I need to put into the startup.txt file are these ones:

Orange (UK)

Homepage: http://orange.multimedia/
APN address (Contract): orangewap
APN address (PAYG): paygwap
Gateway (IP) address : 192.168.71.035
Username: Orange
Password: Multimedia
Session type: Continuous / permanent
Authentication: Normal
Port number: 9201

I'm a contract customer.

I was trying to follow these instructions:

http://connect-utb.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=193

when I tried to boot into android with the data connection functional I hit problems - firstly it booted all the way up but the screen was locked and this time, unlike most, I couldn't unlock it. Used the stylus to reset it.....the next bootup attempt after that (with data enabled) crashed half way through (we got beyond the tux screen and part way throug the loading but it crashed before the android logo screen).

I'm at wits end. I've reverted to the original startup.txt

If someone with the appropriate knowledge could modify the one I've linked here:

http://pastebin.com/f19f3761c

So that I can test one I know has been set up correctly I'd be greatly obliged as I'm still not sure the error isn't incompetance on my part.

Thanks again for your help all and I'll be debugging android and posting back up here as much as I can - it's the most help I can offer as it's about as much as my technological capabilities are up to I'm afraid. :-)


Thanks again all! (btw tested a call when I first booted up - worked like a charm).

[mchh]

What's your device ?

Sorry, I guess I was tired last night :p

I have the DIAM100.

Concerning the GSM and 3G problems, I think that it was network related since I had the same issues in WinMo .. or maybe is it because I turned on and off several times radio signal (in the test menu) and also "played" with the airplane mode to have the 3G connection.

I solved the SMS issues with AT Commander (I set the wrong SMSC, guess I was really tired :p).

I also had many freezes (while connected to 3G) and noticed that the load was heavy (3 to 5), the phone is slower than with the last builds.


I'll give it another try with a fresh install because I've maybe messed up something.

[H3x]

Git is actually broken.

Hmmm... that can't be good.

Anyway, a few days ago we were making some good progress on maybe getting a Hero/Sense build working on the Diamond.

We ran into a problem regarding the display: Sense builds require a resolution of 320x480 and the current kernel doesn't seem to allow mddi scaling (needed to a scale HVGA to our devices' VGA).

Do any of the people currently working on this project/developers know anything about support for mddi scaling in the current Diam/Raph port? zenulator was of the opinion that the commad line parameters (mddi.*=xxx) were being ignored by the kernel, but that mddi scaling might still be available to the "user space". Is it possible to set mddi scaling anywhere other than as a command-line param? I have adb set up if that might help...

[Dunnera]

i tried this instruction for sms-fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433433 but it didn´t work... did anybody this work around and does it work?
but maybe i only don´t understand it, is there a better instruction (maybe in german?)?

[c4software]

Please, why always asking for Sense, it will slow down the device, if one day everythings works with the Classic android, dev will look for adapt kernel/sense on Diamond. I don't think its the acctual priority.

[H3x]

Well, you have the right to your own opinion, but I do think that quite a few people would like to see Sense on their phones.

There's also no reason why we can't work on things concurrently, not everyone is able/willing to contribute to coding/porting. Some, however would be more than happy to help with getting Sense to work. Like myself. Which is why I'm not simply "asking for" or demanding Sense.

In any case, the issues runs much deeper than Sense. Having an unscalable (mddi) display limited to a VGA resolution does present a problem in terms of application compatibility (and let's face it: apps form a large part of Android's appeal). Sure the Android scene is slowly evolving to support more resolutions, but (to my knowledge) to date there is but a single main stream HVGA Android device - and it's barely been released. Let's face it: for the time being, as well as the foreseeable future, HVGA is the way to go.

Lastly (correct me if I'm wrong), HVGA scaling (whether it's for Sense or not) might actually IMPROVE performance . I know the scaling operation itself requires some resources, but any ape can conjecture that a smaller resolution is less demanding on resources like processing power and less RAM (smaller framebuffer).

Check you existing SMSC (SMS center) in Settings- Phone - Services -Voice Mail and Text Message.

It should look like +49XXXXXXXXX (49 assuming you're from germany, XXXXXXX is the rest of the SMSC number) (note that number down)

I removed the "+" symbole and replaced it by "00" thanks to AT Commander from that post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2002491&postcount=1

In the AT Commander, type :

AT+CSCA="0049XXXXXXXXX" and click on "send".

Soft reset your phone and try it under Android.


Du muss einfach das SMSC Nummer durch AT Commander ändern.

Dein SMSC Nummer sieht so aus : "+49XXXXXXXXXX", du muss das "+" mit "00" auswechseln es soll dann so aussehen: "0049XXXXXXXXX"

In AT Commander, muss du der folgenden Befehl eintippen:

AT+CSCA="0049XXXXXXXXX"

Just a quick update - using the cobaltcode 10-27 build and update, Raph110 now has functional 3g data in 1.6! Marketplace runs like a champ - automatic downloads actually work and no longer hit and miss as it was in 1.5

For those who want to know details - I just used the 10-27 build from the cobaltcode upload site and the 11-02 build update... only change I made was to the density in the startup.txt, but I'm playing with that a bit to get the right fit.

For me, still have problems with SMSC (using AT Commander simply screwed up my existing config in WinMo), the front panel (jittery) and battery consumption... but 1.6 is a lot faster and closer to daily use

Kudos phhusson and leo - not to mention dzo, zen and others for all their hard work!

I'll keep posting my results

Actually, you should not type the 145 value (that's why I didnt write it)

If you dont type this value, it will automatically save it as ",129"

I think that AT+CSCA="00436640501", 145 is impossible since the "145" value is for the "+" format

Try just typing AT+CSCA="00436640501"

And 0 is a normal answer (I had the same)

[rpgman]

I try again today to put the command line "echo 1 > ...." to the file in htc_battery folder but terminal do not want to let me insert numbers.

I try then with android 1.6 sdk, i get in, type the echo command and that doesn't want, i go in first folder then i try to mkdir htc_battery and i see that it's only read-only, like it's mounted in ro mode :p :)

I spent the day with the phone plugged in usb and charging (except going on coffee or to eat ^^), the reactivity seems a lot better than in the beginning (up, down, selecting application were ok but when i wanted to go left and right it was hard, a lots of tries).

For Htc Sense, maybe it could help a lot of us not buying now or soon a new phone or make a little test knowing if we wait for the dragon or taking another phone maker (motorola droid, acer or sony x3/x10/raphael (but not in white :p)). I already hesitate to find a G1 or G2 already used ^^. Or who know jump on htc hd 2 and hopping for so good release of android on it ;)

I dont know, try maybe finding an alternative SMSC number on google, or check that it saved the right number with the AT+CSCA? command, you can also check in WM phone's settings.

You could also look in the test menu in android (*#*#4636#*#* on the dial window), it seems to update the SMSC only when I turn off and on the radio signal in the same menu (but I don't really know ..)

I obtained all the latest files and ran Android yesterday and lastnight without any issues at all.... 3g, wifi, bt, market... everything worked, and the interface was responsive. I tried to boot it again today and the dpad/ buttons are non responsive. I cleared all files off card and reloaded them fresh and have the same issue. I am not sure what the problem is.

Additionally, I have tried to boot several times (maybe 20) and the problem persists. Is there any known cause for this?

*sigh* I asked a simple question ("Is mddi scaling possible to set in any manner other than as a kernel parameter?") and the response is a barrage of suggestive, aggressive comments regarding my motivation for asking the question.

Honestly, must every topic in these forums turn into a mindless prattling debate? And, maybe worst of all, is that these "debates" seem to employ virtually no logic - argumentation is based on reductio ad ridiculum and single case-studies are fodder for inference to sweeping statements.

I realize that, I meant to write if there was a known fix, not just a shot in the dark kinda thing for it. Trust me I have read EVERY post in this thread at least once.... I have been following it for months. I just dont understand why it would initialize just fine the first few times and then all of a sudden crap out on me.

I am flashing my ROM now to exquisite 3.5a (just because there were a few releases since last flash), I am hoping that it will actually eliminate the possibility of there just being instabilities in the WM ROM itself.

[H3x]

OK, cool. No offence meant. Like I said myself, this bug has been pestering me periodically as well. Particularly with one of earlier builds I had this repeating continously.

I don't seem to have the problem any more. Not sure what I changed, though. It may be the newer kernel image I'm using (zImage pack with addtional drivers from utb-connect (http://connect-utb.com/index.php?option=com_rokdownloads&view=file&Itemid=68&id=48:zimage-pack-with-addtional-drivers)).

No offense taken at all.... I know how it is with the redundant questions of some ppl on here. like....

"android no works, can you fix for me"

Im using the same package that you are, just got done flashing my rom so hopefully that will fix whatever the issue was. My last rom was a little buggy so it might have been the problem. Still cant send SMS no matter what I do though... I have tried all of the different workarounds that I could find and nothing.

It might be an issue with AT&T

I try again today to put the command line "echo 1 > ...." to the file in htc_battery folder but terminal do not want to let me insert numbers.

Use another terminal from the market

I try then with android 1.6 sdk, i get in, type the echo command and that doesn't want, i go in first folder then i try to mkdir htc_battery and i see that it's only read-only, like it's mounted in ro mode :p :)
You need to mount debugfs in /dbgfs, you can do it by hand, or starting wifi also mount it.

*sigh* I asked a simple question ("Is mddi scaling possible to set in any manner other than as a kernel parameter?") and the response is a barrage of suggestive, aggressive comments regarding my motivation for asking the question.
Sorry i haven't seen this question at all.

Is mddi scaling possible to set in any manner other than as a kernel parameter?
The problem is not to set it. I can think of 4 different ways with which we can set it, but who cares ?
The problem is to actually get mddi scaling working, and current search i've seen point out that there is no scaling hardware (the mddi client is TC358720XBG, if you see how to get scaling with it, give those informations on #htc-linux @ freenode).

Ah, thank you so much. I'll scratch around and see what I can find.

Did the latest UTB builds take out or change SD card drivers that were there in previous builds? This is the only thing I can think of as to why my DIAM400 doesn't work with latest builds, but I can use everything except replace the new kernel with another one and it works fine.

Anyone else have a DIAM 400?? PM me

[c4software]

The power management seems working great, when the device enter in sleep mode the dpad is correctly shuting down, Radio awak it (except SMS, but i'm not sure). Its really great but battery drain a little bit fast (my phone stay 12h on android, before stop)

Hi guys

I recently got the latest Android build running on my RAPH100 for Connect-UTB but i want to try running Sense UI, so i did it and got the file from Vogue-Hero's website and replaced the current system file and try boot with "middi.width=320 middi.height=480 lcd.density=160" (With out the quotes) and it doesn't seem to boot but it loads all the files then i end up on a black screen with a "_" in it. Anyone testing the Zenulator Sense UI build?

[Roflnova]

May sound a little silly, but are you guys turning this into a ROM when it's done? Would be sweet.

[ydoucare]

May sound a little silly, but are you guys turning this into a ROM when it's done? Would be sweet.

I think that's farrrrr into the future if even possible, because right now we're relying on WinMo to initialize the hardware.

Nice progress lately :)
Currently running the updated Donut build: build-update_donut-1.6_2-11-09.7z on my Diam100, and it is improved a lot :D

The Donut builds itself seems to be a little more buggy, apps "crash" more frequently. (The Force close/Wait dialog pops up.)

- WIFI works perfectly with calibration file. In a very rare occasion WIFI is unable to start, retry and it works.
So far I don't have a very slow responding device like I had with previous WIFI builds.

- 3G/Data is working, and it starts directly :) APN settings are retrieved automatically from my provider, so no manual configuring is needed.

- Bluetooth works, but I'm not using it very often.

Anyone testing the Zenulator Sense UI build?

No offence, mate, but read through the last 10 or so pages. We can't keep on repeating the same info ad nauseam.

Basically, the current status is that Hero/Sense builds require the "display adapter" to fit a resolution of 320x480 (HVGA) on to a 480x640 (VGA) (this is done by setting mddi.width=320 and mddi.height=480) as Hero can only run on HVGA, but our devices are VGA. However, our hardware (mddi client/bridge) does not seem to support this feature and and such the mddi.*=* settings are just being ignored and Hero/Sense refuses to display correctly (it IS running, just not displaying).

Dude, WM applications are (incl. *.cab archives) are compiled specifically for Windows Mobile - they will not run on Android.

Android is based on Linux which relies on different binaries (file types). Also applications are not really commonly installed by downloading installation archives. The preferred system for installing new applications is package repositories - online file stores where all available packages (applications) are stored. This is why Linux is the ideal "market"-based operating system.

Basically, you need to install applications specifically designed for Android (NOT WM!) either via Market (which is single-handedly responsible for Android's appeal) or by manually downloading the packages (*.apk files) and placing them in the Android file system (place under "AndroidApps" in Internal Storage root).

[roesler90]

of curse not, the wm apps don't run under wm anymore

[H3x]

Ah, I see what you mean. My apologies. What error is displayed trying to run the apps?

I think that he wanted to say that he can't run his unsigned apps in winmo.

Other members reported that issue, and it happened to me too.

Seems like the phone needs to be CID Unlocked again (I'm not sure though), what would involve to use HardSPL and format the device ..

Or maybe is there an other solution ?

[roesler90]

application cannot start because of a not reliable security certificate or an part of the application which is needed isn't available , try to install the application again


it is possible, that the file explorer i download in the market destroy my file system for wm (but the media data like mp3 and jpg work)

where can i download that update? and how can i install that? and is it possible to use the sense ui (i have a diamond)

[RationalGaze]

where can i download that update?

Couple of pages back? 1.6_2-11-09.7z tells you, that the update was from 2. november. You can just browse through the posts made on that day, and spy with your little eye for blue text (text marked blue is usually a link to somewhere...like a file, or a page).

Or you can just use search in the upper-right corner, ant type "1.6_2-11-09.7z" in it (i prefer using the regular search, not the search this thread...it gives better results...)

Well, it took me more time to write this "how-to", than it would, if i would just copy and paste you the link, but it's more fun this way :) (and people might learn to search...allthough i doubt it).

[phhusson]

hi sorry for this question, but how was the problem with disconnecting wifi while obtaining ip adress solved? I still experience this issue..., however i can scan and enter wep key correctly...

This hasn't been really fixed yet, just somehow improved. The way i get it working most of the time is setting up the connection, wait for android to say it doesn't work, leave wifi on and reboot. At the next boot, i get a network connection >90%

But a new bug occurs now that power management has been improved: during true sleep (not just screen off, but screen off and nothing against sleeping as did my previous accelerometer support) wifi is in sleep too (even if is set to "do not sleep" in android menu), and at wake-up, the MAC is regenerated, so no quick reconnect and even not the same IP. And android thinks it is still connected while it's not. You just have to restart wifi to get it working again, but still it's annoying.

Just noticed something, I just booted into android with the zimage from the "android-donut_diam-raph-01-11-09" package, and the system appeared to freeze after the phone went into idle mode, since none of the external buttons on my phone (RAPH110, Fuze) seemed to do anything. I slid the keyboard open, however, and then closed it, and the buttons were once again responsive. Has anyone else with a raphael device noticed this?

The main processor goes into deep sleep, only programmed GPIOs can awake it, and this panel isn't programmed to do so. Don't know if it's doable. The "proper" way to wake the device up is to press the power button.
This behaviour is actually good, it means powermanagement somehow works, even if it's still far from perfect :)

I have installed the latest andorid's package,so thats the result:

My phone is a DIAM100

Android boot correctly
Outgoing calls works
sms receiving works (the sms pop up on the screen)
3G doesnt work,the 3g icon isnt showed and if i go to settings menu/network operator the phone shows only 2g network
I havnt tested yet wifi/bluetooth

If its helpful for the coders i can make better report.
Thank to the all guys for the hard work!

aftter trying ur latest 11/1 build with leobaillard version this is my report (DIAM 100 user):

I was able to connect (finaly ! :D) to 3g

wifi is ok but switching it on battery drain is huge from 40% it goes to 5% instantly!!

BT a2dp is OK

accelerometer OK but power widget doesn't disable it wich is ignonnig, I'm obliged to turn my diam upside down to return it to portrait mode (can u invert it to left landscape mode it'll be funny cause I'm left hand writer ! :D)

the battery drained too fast

sometimes andoid doesn't awake from sleep and reboots if I push the power button this wasn't the case of the previous kernel

when I unplug usb the status of charging desapear this is good if the battery meter is OK but cause android battry meter gives -20~-25% than winmo the battery low message shows often and android shutdown, can u please recompile the kernel and re enable this feature (I consider it so for the moment !! :D) for now I use the previous kernel and it's ok

hope that it'll help

For all the Fuze (Ralph110) users, an android thread has been started here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=577736 we found a working combo of zimage/system etc. for donut 1.6. Most of the parts came from this thread, so no need to run to the Fuze thread if you've been here and have a diamond. But w/ 1.6 several people had lot's of trouble getting data to work on the Fuze. And we've been posting in the diamond thread clogging up your thread. I will continue to browse here and pick parts out for the fuze and put them together on the other thread.

Thanks everyone for all the work on Linux for the diamond/fuze. Were getting really close to a working port........but then again 2.0 is waiting to get hacked apart!

Later.....:D

[chemical1979]

Here is a a beta test version (yes it's even more unstable than usual.), which is supposed to get bluetooth @ 4Mbps (thanks to cr2, and i hate android even more now.), 3G data connection, with some heavy DNS problems, i get it once for 4 tries on average. And power management's back, should save a lot of power.
About power, a known bug is that disactivating wifi drains a lot of power. So don't turn it on or don't turn it off.
http://www.cobaltcode.com/fileupload/data/Android/AllInOne/android-donut_diam-raph-01-11-09.7z


This only means that kernel is ignoring these options, but userspace can take it in account. For donut releases, lcd.density is used. Only mddi.* are actually ignored.

Just wanted to report back, that this build works instantly on a DIAM300. I changed MTYPE to 1805 and it booted right away. Activated Bluetooth, worked. Activated WLAN, worked. Joined (public) WLAN, worked.

Great progress!

EDIT: Charging via USB does not work, after second boot I can't get WLAN to work again (its activated, but doesn't connect to my cell anymore). If left alone, it switches display off (correct), and reboots after about 15 minutes

so i copy'd the new android to internal storage. and then copyd the update and overwritten the old file's. disconnected the phone.
started hatred.
the linux start up, then all those tiny white letters, then black screen and seconds later i saw my own htc logo. and booted windows

hey ;)

it works, android boots and works fine,
I can enable wifi ( YES YES YES ) but when i get network signals i select the network where i am right now ( its an secure one ) so i typ in the password and hit connect. then nothing happens, i saw an wifi connection icon in top of the screen, but when i hit it the menu came down and dissapeared.
SHIT:P
i've hit connect several time's but nothing
now i have an 3g service ( vodafone dutch ) and where i am right now i cant connect with 3G but i am able to connect with G ( is also internet connection but slower ) in windows it works perfect.
In android do i need to enable roaming? ( because roaming cost extra money, i've read on some website's and i used internet in Germany and i am Dutch and i had to pay an extra 200 euro's on my bill ) so i realy dont want that again!

I will try later on at my home ( unsecured 20 mb internet ) if it will connect with it.

For now.

Question where is the system.img?
Everthing loads well at my diam300 but then it failed to find system.img on SD Card.
I Checked if there is any file like this but didn't find it!

[H3x]

With regards to the DPAD buttons not working:

Like we've said before, it seems that the DPAD buttons are sometimes not initialized by WM. Whenever this is the case the DPAD buttons do not work in BOTH the kernel and Android. Even in the initial boot screens, swiping/pressing DPAD should light up the specific sections - if this doesn't happen it means they aren't initialized and button presses are obviously not going to magically be available to Android.

There is currently no fix for this, but trying combinations of presses/no presses in WM before launching haret seems to give mixed success. It would be logical to assume that using button presses would force initialization of the buttons. However, I've noticed that if I launch haret with a BUTTON press, the buttons are unresponsive more often than not in linux/Android. However, launching with a SCREEN press gives responsive buttons more often than not. As a matter of fact, from a fresh boot: navigating to and launching haret with only SCREEN presses seems to give me the highest success rate...

Eh?

Remember that Android runs ON Linux. The kernel image file is called "zImage" and the Android image file is called "system.img". You thus need to download an Android build. The 2 Nov Donut build (http://www.cobaltcode.com/fileupload/data/Android/BuildUpdates/build-update_donut-1.6_2-11-09.7z) is the latest one as far as I know. Download and extract to your Internal Storage root.

now android fs is system.sqsh the newer kernels likes these included in the 11/1 works without pb with sqashfs file system

[klinux]

hey ;)

it works, android boots and works fine,
I can enable wifi ( YES YES YES ) but when i get network signals i select the network where i am right now ( its an secure one ) so i typ in the password and hit connect. then nothing happens, i saw an wifi connection icon in top of the screen, but when i hit it the menu came down and dissapeared.
SHIT:P
i've hit connect several time's but nothing
now i have an 3g service ( vodafone dutch ) and where i am right now i cant connect with 3G but i am able to connect with G ( is also internet connection but slower ) in windows it works perfect.
In android do i need to enable roaming? ( because roaming cost extra money, i've read on some website's and i used internet in Germany and i am Dutch and i had to pay an extra 200 euro's on my bill ) so i realy dont want that again!

I will try later on at my home ( unsecured 20 mb internet ) if it will connect with it.

For now.
KLINUX super thanks for your time and help!!!!!!
can realy apriciate it ;)

noticed this wifi pb too, realy I don't have a clue, for me wenever ad-hoc doesn't work (seems that even G1 have these issue) and 3g is working I don't realy need wifi

to force 3g connexion not g select wcdma on winmo and run haret it'll take just the 3g network

there is no reason to enable roaming so desactivate it in setting>wireless networks>mobile networks>roaming or something like this.

cheers

did you copy the right default.txt from folder "startup-configs".
On my diam100 it didn t work at first( reboot at kernel loading wit 02/11/09); but with the right default it did

[mengsuan]

This is my first time trying to run android on diamond. I downloaded 1st November build and then updated using 2nd November files. I read several pages back and I knew some of these issues are already known but I would love to share my encounters:
1. PIN code is always incorrect. Disabling PIN security is a workaround.
2. Power button does not always wake up the device. Only backlight turns on.
3. Encrypted wifi network does not work. Disabling my home's wifi WEP encryption is a workaround.
4. Battery drain is tremendous if wifi is used.
5. Occasional long waking up time after pressing power button

The other features appear to be functioning as it is supposed to be. SMS isn't a problem too.

DIAM100

[MrVarioII]

I've tested the version I was using previously quite a bit but am now about to upgrade to the 5/11/09 version as there isn't much point bugrepping old versions.

The only *major* problems I found with the previous ones were that every time I tried to enable 3G I'd hit massive problems. The unit would freeze up on the lock screen and be unresponsive. On one occasion the diamond's 'Back' button lit up...not sure why.

Fixing this, for some reason, required the sacrificing of my data.img file - a shame as I had some texts on it I wanted but hey I'm testing so you expect that kind of thing to happen.

Couldn't test wifi as I was stuck on a placement but I'll be doing it this evening with the new build.

Is it true that I nolonger need to alter startup.txt to be able to setup 3G?

Also is there a best WM ROM to be using? I'm still using my diamond's original and I'm a little loath to change it because I've installed a *lot* of programs that will take a *long* time to reinstall...but I might be willing to (I'm getting a huge number of .net framework errors on startup anyway due to having had to uninstall and reinstall it to fix an earlier problem.....)

Also should I be obtaining my android builds from 'connect-utb.com' or is there a central repository that's likely to be more uptodate?

PS if anyone has any tips/has the edited files I need to get UK Orange 3G service (i'm a contract customer) working on Android please please please PM me :-)

Also I await all advice from the comunity as to what testing they wish done as I'm happy to help in whatever way I can. :-)


Thanks again all!

Oh really? Well, running my home network without encryption did not bother me in anyway.

Update:

1. PIN code is always incorrect. Disabling PIN security is a workaround.
2. Power button does not always wake up the device. Only backlight turns on.
3. Encrypted wifi network does not work. Disabling my home's wifi WEP encryption is a workaround.
4. Battery drain is tremendous if wifi is used.
5. Occasional long waking up time after pressing power button

Addon:
6. Lights on button can sometimes randomly stay lit, especially the back button.
7. Camera on android gives me gibberish green image

Thanks phhusson, that's some good information. Something I've noticed while using the build that you have listed on the wiki page is that if the panel buttons quit responding, I can usually slide open the keyboard, and then close it again, and that causes the buttons to become responsive again. Most of the time it works, but sometimes you really do have to reboot to fix it.

can you anybody me with my sms problem? (i think i´m not the only one who has that problem)
i can´t send a sms in android (even with the new version).

What Radio Rom do you have on your DIAM?Did you ever update it ?


I just read that there is a radio 1.17 which is supposed to fix some smsc editing in WM, it could maybe help...

I checked the SMSC number as suggested, and it is correct.

- Android builds from connect-utb : wifi fails (cannot activate).

Hi, I am following this thread for some time now, but I haven't posted yet. I tried many builds, even compiled a kernel myself with success.
There is one problem I encountered in almost all wifi-enabled builds. If I don't delete all the files before from SD card before installing a new pack, sometimes system.sqsh is unable to mount (system is complaining about missing system.img). Is there any particular file I should consider deleting to fix it? Because after deleting all the files and copying same files again work fine. I just don't like the idea of deleting everything every time.
Another problem is wifi modules. There is always a version magic mismatch. For example in the most recent kernel (2.6.27-00605-g362bbd1-dirty) there are errors during boot saying:
invalid module format ..... version magic '2.6.27-00563-g1b0d655-dirty preempt mod_unload ARMv6 ' should be '2.6.27-00605-g362bbd1-dirty preempt mod_unload ARMv6 '
And that was after formatting the card so I am sure there are no old files remaining.
One last thing - since the git repository wasn't updated for a long time (down or something?), would it be a problem to upload current sources, or just patches somewhere? I don't feel smart enough to help with current development, but I could try some simple changes myself instead of bothering the devs.
I'm using RAPH100 - if it's somehow important.
Anyway, thanks for the great effort you're putting int getting linux running on our tiny capable toys. Great great thanks!!!

I faced this pb too, but don't know exactly which file causes this,
invalid modules thing is just errors displayed in the boot phase, modules are working u can test it with lsmod in terminal u should see the modules working

[zapol]

You're right, the modules are loaded (but I have no idea how, because error message said "insmod cannot insert..."). Anyway, wifi does not work for me.
The first time I tried enabling it in android, it looked ok, but then "unable to scan for networks". Sometimes it tells me "unable to start wifi" (like just now, for a couple of reboots).

that's my case too, I'm unable to use wifi it switches off alone, even if I change the zimage to a previous one it doesn't work, this is a known issue hope that it'll be fixed.

I'll try to use previous modules with the new system.sqsh may be it'll works.
Edit: it doesn't work

[MrVarioII]

1st of all this is not my website and of course not my work, I'm just a user like u ! :D thx to all developers who makes this possible

I'll describe in details what u should do to:
Download this file http://www.cobaltcode.com/fileupload/data/Android/AllInOne/android-donut_diam-raph-01-11-09.7z
update it with these files http://www.cobaltcode.com/fileupload/data/Android/BuildUpdates/build-update_donut-1.6_2-11-09.7z
replace startup.txt with diamond.txt which is on startup-config folder after renamer it startup.txt of course ;) or replace mtype 19xx with 1805.
download a calibration file from here for example http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/special-diamond-raphael-wifi-bluetooth/calibration
use u r dpad a little before booting haret to be sure that it'll work
boot haret
good luck !

can't access tty; job control turned off

and then before this it just restarted back to windows before. I tried formating the root and putting the clean builds on but for some reason ever since I flashed into the new Energy rom, it hasn't work

does the WM rom influence whether android boots up?

Can you provide some logs of adb logcat -b radio ?

A "funny" thing now :
- Android builds downloaded recently from this forum (from babijoee, leobaillard and yours) : wifi works.
- Android builds from connect-utb : wifi fails (cannot activate).
I don't know who/how have built this build, but I had to change the libhardware_legacy.so, maybe connect-utb's haven't changed that yet.

There is one problem I encountered in almost all wifi-enabled builds. If I don't delete all the files before from SD card before installing a new pack, sometimes system.sqsh is unable to mount (system is complaining about missing system.img). Is there any particular file I should consider deleting to fix it?
Maybe the "replace" thing of your system is not going correctly. Is there any other messages ? Have you tried deleting just system.* and then extract new pack ?

Another problem is wifi modules. There is always a version magic mismatch. For example in the most recent kernel (2.6.27-00605-g362bbd1-dirty) there are errors during boot saying:
invalid module format ..... version magic '2.6.27-00563-g1b0d655-dirty preempt mod_unload ARMv6 ' should be '2.6.27-00605-g362bbd1-dirty preempt mod_unload ARMv6 '
And that was after formatting the card so I am sure there are no old files remaining.

That's normal, i've just been too lazy to fix it :D
As stated above, this doesn't prevent anything from working.

One last thing - since the git repository wasn't updated for a long time (down or something?), would it be a problem to upload current sources, or just patches somewhere? I don't feel smart enough to help with current development, but I could try some simple changes myself instead of bothering the devs.

I currently push to http://gitorious.org/linux-on-qualcomm-s-msm/linux-msm, but i still hope linuxtogo will get fixed.
I faced this pb too, but don't know exactly which file causes this,
For the record it's /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko, but unless you really care about wrong errors there is no point to touch it.

The first time I tried enabling it in android, it looked ok, but then "unable to scan for networks".
it does that only once or three times in a row ?
If it's only once, it's normal, it's just because wpa_supplicant is too slow to start.

Sometimes it tells me "unable to start wifi" (like just now, for a couple of reboots).
Hu ? If modules and zImage are correct, this shouldn't happen. Anything in dmesg ?
that's my case too, I'm unable to use wifi it switches off alone, even if I change the zimage to a previous one it doesn't work, this is a known issue hope that it'll be fixed.
You mean that when going into sleep the wifi no longer works ? If not, i don't think i know this issue.

Only one question....what do we do with the config file you've linked?

http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/special-diamond-raphael-wifi-bluetooth/calibration

You've said download it....?then what?

Put it in the root of your sdcard or Internale Storage
I was wondering if anybody else was having start up issues where it stops at the :

can't access tty; job control turned off

Any other messages maybe ? Most likely it's because you placed rootfs or system.sqsh in the wrong place.

and then before this it just restarted back to windows before. I tried formating the root and putting the clean builds on but for some reason ever since I flashed into the new Energy rom, it hasn't work

does the WM rom influence whether android boots up?
I use energy rom too, it doesn't seem to change anything :)

[chnapsy]

Hello,

I tested last release and wooowww great job, nearly everything is working.
I just wanted to list the last enoying issues :
-Cannot calibrate screen (mine is not really easilly usable to write a text message)
-Cannot force to use only 2g network after 3G connection has been set (with full battery in a zone with 5 bar of network my diamond lives 4-5 hours ...)
-The screen just turn offs the backlight but still stay "on".
-The screen rotation only works when I rotate the diamond in anti-clockwise way.

-But finaly 3G connection for french sl2sfr finaly works ; GREEATTTT :)

Wonderfull job all, continue like that !

-Chnapsy

[chnapsy]

Just a last question concerning the "core system"
Is there a kind of package manager on android like apt on debian or yum on centos as I can add easilly network tools as host, ssh or life savers like that ?

Thanks

Hey Guys,

the last time i tryed android on diamond is months ago.
now i tryed the build from the 5. november, and im really impressed.

Amazing work!!!!

But i have some problems:
- Very important. Battery ;) The Display light is out, but the display is still on
- i cant callibrate the display brightness.
- i can only charge the battery when i start android with a connected usb cable
- the camera does not work

Any workarounds for this problems ?

Anyone using the Android on Diamond permanently ?

Thanks a lot!! i love android ;)

It was more than 3 times in a row.

Hu ? If modules and zImage are correct, this shouldn't happen. Anything in dmesg ?

Checked dmesg, and nothing interesting about wireless.
However I found out that I forgot putting my calibration file to card after formatting it. I guess it caused most (if not all) the problems mentioned above.
And also using the november 5 bundle from ConnectUTB did not work for me. No modules were loaded (checked lsmod), but enabling wireless somehow worked, just was unable to scan :confused:.
Updating to your kernel with dummy charger workaround did the job just fine.
Now after a few tries (problems with dhcp, dns) I connected and even got market running.
Great stuff :D

[phhusson]

Most likely means the interface didn't go up, so either calibration or modules are missing

2. Speed
3. Power management (heat)

The camera, GPS and radio I can wait for
Also the accelerometer is not working all that well but that's not the most important thing as well so I don't mind

But it is those 3 that are holding me back from using it permanently

Oh and, I've got the Concise Oxford English Dictionary from the Marketplace and when I first launch it, it asks to download the database and asks you whether you want it to be in the SD card or on the phone memory
No matter which one I choose, it says that it has failed downloading it (this is with WLAN on)

I know this is a very specific issue, but thought I should post it just as well.

I would really appreciate if you would fix the calibrate screen issue...
My touch screen seems to have positioning issue and cannot even type some letters on software keyboard without the screen calibration.
I tried to set up the android using D-pad only but diamond doesn't have the hardware keyboard,
so software keyboard is a must for some settings...
Anyway, thank you very much for your great effort/support =)

I suggest u to disable Bt and WiFi if u don't need them this will prevent phone from heating and let Android be more responsitive

As you might have noticed - the autobuild system haven't recompiled any kernels for quite some time now.
This is because the GIT repository is broken - and no-one is able to make any commits. (no commits = no recompiles)

phhusson has taken the initiative to cloned the repository to a new host: http://gitorious.org/linux-on-qualcomm-s-msm/linux-msm. (This even includes the history! :D ).
The autobuildsystem will rely on the new host!

(as I'm writing this, I see new kernels being compiled!) ;)


If you have any suggestions - please contact me

Ah, so that was why :P
I always love to read the changelogs to see the improvements.

BTW, you have a small typo @ "no comments yeat". It's: yet

@phhusson I tried your latest zimage on glemsom website
1st the file is smaller than the previous don't know if it's related to the report
fake charge status is not wrking if I unplug usb battery status is not charging
shutdown when sleep
hope u fix that
thx for your hard work

Sorry to say that, but for me it works ...

can u explain what should I do
is there a modification in startup.txt? need a new data.img ?
I did lsmod it gives nothing
thx for help

[phhusson]

can u explain what should I do
Same things as previous kernel, just add htc_battery_smem.fake=1 to cmdline ...
is there a modification in startup.txt?
need a new data.img ?
No

I did lsmod it gives nothing
because it's absolutely not related to modules.

[MrVarioII]

Copy this file in the root of the sd card this file is used to enable wifi
U can take a look at the link in my signature phhusson did a tutorial well described cheers

Hey bro,

Just to remind you Diam100

Tried with the latest build from connect as I said - it failed the same way as every attempt at loading android with data connected in WM always does with me for every build I try. It gets to the stage of booting just before the android comes up then the screen goes blank and the phone resets back to the Touch Diamond screen and the phone boots into WM....

I then followed your instructions exactly from 5402 (is that he right post number?). Downloaded the build you suggested, downloaded and copied accross the update you suggested, replaced the startup.txt with the diamond.txt file (renamed obviously), downloaded the config file you linked and popped it on the Internal Storage root directory ...

And when I started Android with a 3G connection made (I established it using the update weather option). Exactly the same thing as before happened.

Is there a log file somewhere I can post up? Is anyone else hitting this problem?

[klinux]

thx that did the fake charging state
reboot when sleep is resolved with pm.sleep_mode=3
thx man
now waiting for modules to be integrated to this new kernel
cheers

[phhusson]

adb logcat / adb logcat -b radio

Default configuration set it to 0 which doesn't work yet yes :/

You mean like here (http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/special-diamond-raphael-wifi-bluetooth/) ?

[MrVarioII]

adb logcat / adb logcat -b radio

I'm assuming you're meaning type this into the console in android?

Can't do that considering android fails to boot if data is connected when it's loaded. :-/

Hence the times I wish a log i can't create one....?

Any idea what's going on or how to fix it?

adb is run from your PC. There is a guide to set it up here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010). It basically involves you

downloading and installing the Android SDK
booting into Android at least once while connected to the PC via USB to pick up the device and then to install the drivers
running logcat via the command prompt and then booting Android with your phone connected via USB

Thanks again. Just downloading the required programs/drivers now. I can however forsee a problem connected entirely with Windows Mobile.......

In windows mobile I cannot (and have never been able to in my memory) obtain a data connection while connected via USB - I just get a dialing error. Might be something to do with WM's network connection settings?

In either case I'll give it a shot and post back (I anticipate I'll be unable to connect to 3G before booting android).

Oh and stop press huge thanks to the developers.........Although data doesn't work for me currently (and this is very important for me) :-( ........

Wifi WORKED!

Market Place then worked!

And I was successfully able to search for download and install programs and browse the web. So HUGE thanks to the developers. This project is awesome....If only 3G would start to work now.

(PS -everything was working very slowly when Wifi was active as I think others have reported too - interface was laggy, I got quite a number of not responding errors asking me if I wished to wait or close the program).

Anyway lets give this debugging a shot and see if we can work out how to get 3G going too :-D (does 3G make the interface as laggy as wifi?)

[H3x]

In windows mobile I cannot (and have never been able to in my memory) obtain a data connection while connected via USB - I just get a dialing error. Might be something to do with WM's network connection settings?

This is due to an ActiveSync setting. While your device is NOT connected via USB, go to Windows Mobile Device Center -> Mobile Device Settings -> Connection Settings and tick "Allow data connections on device when connected to PC". ActiveSync should then allow your phone to establish and use data connections.

[c4software]

Default configuration set it to 0 which doesn't work yet yes :/


For me its seems working (without set the option to 0). in the last release i don't have any reboot on suspend.

[fabius88]

OMG the latest port for diamond is awesome!

I was playing with the latest phhusson's kernel u can try it here
http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/special-diamond-raphael-wifi-bluetooth/
u need to add to startup.txt this under cmdline pm.sleep_mode=3 htc_battery_smem.fake=1
u'll have battery status charging always even if u run haret without usb plugged in !
this prevent android from shutdown the phone and battery low messages :D
thx to phhusson

[c4software]

the pm.sleep_mode=3, disable all power management (if my memory is good), its maybe why you don't have any reboot probleme after set this option.

[mengsuan]

OMG the latest port for diamond is awesome!

which build did you mean?

[phhusson]

the pm.sleep_mode=3, disable all power management (if my memory is good), its maybe why you don't have any reboot probleme after set this option.
No it does "wait for interrupt and ramp clock" which isn't totally bad. The one which does nothing is pm.sleep_mode=5 (but idle will do wait for interrupt anyway)
4 will do "wait for interrupt", no change in arm11's clock or voltage
3 will do "wait for interrupt and ramp clock", the arm11's clock is lowered to 20MHz instead of 300-500, and voltage is lowered too.
2 will do "app sleep", arm11 is still on, but putted into low power mode (registers are still saved)
1 and 0 will totally power the arm11 off (so we have to restore registers and things ourself), don't know the differences between them.

Currently 4,3 and 2 are known to work, and 0 known not to work, i haven't tried the other ones yet.
I use the 2 daily and i had only two reboot/freezes in 3 days of use.
I update the wiki to add these informations.

[00hero00d]

Is there a data traffic app on the market which is working with our android ports? Because Net Counter isn't working for me..

[fabius88]

this: "Android-DIAM-20091103-UTB"

at this moment the link http://www.connect-utb.com/ doesn't work..

use the build in the wiki page it's better at least for me(look at my signature) with connect utb's build I faced BT pbs
with the latest kernel it's realy amazing !

@phhusson : tried pm.sleep_mode=1 doesn't work I'm stick to 2 for now

[phhusson]

I've done some other tests about sleep issue:
If you intent to really use your phone (meaning with more than 2hours.), don't activate wifi and bluetooth, as having these activated (event if disactivated afterwards), prevent sleeping from working (system wakes up as soon as it enter sleep).
Also I tried phone and SMS with system sleeping, it just works, but android takes ~ 3 seconds to start ringing, and 5 more to show infos on the screen. After this first call (since the last reboot), it shows and rings in less than 1second after network is ready.

Hi all,

I've downloaded the latest android build for diamond from connect-utb. It runs really great, but I can't get the data connection to work.
I added the vodafone live apn and I can see a G with two arrows next to the reception bars, but I can't browse or use anything that uses the data connection. What can be the problem? I use the following APN settings:

* Name: Vodafone live!
* APN: live.vodafone.com
* Proxy:
* Port:
* Username: vodafone
* Password: vodafone
* Server:
* MMSC: http://mmsc.mms.vodafone.nl
* MMS proxy: 192.168.251.150
* MMS port: 8799
* MCC: 204
* MNC: 04
* APN type:

I didn't try this build enough to say if it's ok with connexion but phhusson/leobaillard last build is great 3g is ok bt a2dp and wifi are ok at least for me diam100 u can give it a try look at my signature

[Kurley]

Thnx for your quick reply :)
downloading right now :P
I'll let you know if it works or not.

[klinux]

for those who are tired from waiting winmo to run just to launch android I did a little mortscript file that launch android
extract the zip file in the windows\startup folder
reboot phone a popup message will asks u if u want to launch Android u have just to click the action button then keyboard initialization is done !
after 15s (u can adjust it) haret launchs
of course click no did nothing :)
hope it'll be useful
cheers

I noticed that the trick with keyboard initiation is the backlight should be off before haret launchs

EDIT:
this one works better for me diam100 winmo 65 energyRom

[Kurley]

I tried the phhusson/leobaillard build, but I get the same result as with the connect-UTB build:
A G or 3G shows up next to the reception bars, but I can't browse or use any program using a data connection. Maybe it is the radio version I am using (1.13.25.24)

This thread is so long. Is there a how-for the DIAM500?

EDIT: Crap, my Diamond won't boot past the Touch Diamond screen with ROM info. How do I fix it?

[phhusson]

I just tried an autonomy test for my android. My battery was fully charged, and i waited 3hours, i then rebooted into windows to see its battery meter and .... 93% ! :-)
As specified in the wiki, it needs no BT, no wifi, no accelerometer to get real suspend working, and pm.sleep_mode=2.

no accelerometer ? you have disable it ? or you never activate it/use it on Android ?

[phhusson]

As said on wiki (again.), no app use it even in background, (I had to kill abduction for example).

[c4software]

@phhusson, sorry... i don't have seen any information about the accelerometer on the wiki. Thanks for the information.

The only bad point with the pm.sleep_mode=2 its with the dpad sometimes led under home/back/hangup/call stay on.

[phhusson]

@phhusson, sorry... i don't have seen any information about the accelerometer on the wiki.
No problem, i'm still updating it very often and it isn't very short :D

Right. Added to the todolist.

[silex]

I fixed it by doing a power+volup+reset into the bootloader and flashing the OEM Sprint ROM to it. I'm back in and ready to try some Android action!

Does the DIAM500 need certain startup.txt parameters that other models don't? Still needs to be connected to ActiveSync while running haret? We really need a how-to for each model.

[RationalGaze]

Testing pm.sleep_mode=2 over night.

So far working nice, no reboots (BT and Wifi disabled, no apps using the accelerometer). Will see in the morning :) Hope it still wakes up.
