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

[mugglesquop]

can someone tell me a quick guide to how to install the zip file for the diamond on my phone and i will try to boot it on my htc p3700 thanks

There is a guide when u go to the download link supplied here:

can someone tell me a quick guide to how to install the zip file for the diamond on my phone and i will try to boot it on my htc p3700 thanks

just copy & past from connect-utb:

Instructions

1 - Download the .zip file and extract the contents to your desktop. You should have a folder called tmp there now.

2 - Connect your phone to the computer with a mini-USB cable.

3 - copy the tmp folder to your storage root. The tmp should then be located in [internal storage]/tmp Inside the tmp folder is a boot folder. You may put that anywhere or
leave it in tmp.

4 - Disconnect the usb-cable and soft-reset your Touch Diamond.

5 - Open up the file explorer, find the tmp directory and launch haret.exe and click run.

6 - Wait for android to boot up, and enjoy! At the first boot it takes a while before the android boot screen comes up and then the boot screen (with the glowing android) stays up quite long before you get to the boot screen.
Subsequent boots are faster.

it's all there

[himer]

Hi everybody

I like to give android a try but I can't even copy all the needed files to the phone. It has no enough space on the internal storage.
Is there a small ROM that I have to install first or can I free the needed space somehow? I need about 55 MB more.

Thanks for the help

[jutley]

but there is no tmp folder when extracted to my desktop and do i copy to phone memory or the 4gb internal storage tmp folder

both of the replies are 'Internal Storage'.

its 4Gb, so big enough!

the zip file should contain a folder called 'tmp'. This needs to be copied to the Internal Storage route directory. (internal storage/)

[patou_larib]

Thank you so much for this new version!
I love to see how Android is coming on our phones.
Thank you for your job!

[jutley]

this is the problem i am using winzip and i have downloaded the zip twice now when i extract to the desktop there is no tmp folder i just get a 40mb file

[mugglesquop]

this is the problem i am using winzip and i have downloaded the zip twice now when i extract to the desktop there is no tmp folder i just get a 40mb file

did u download it from this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3272058&postcount=1988)link?

[jutley]

yes from that link it dont have a tmp folder when extracted

[sibbor]

The new build is up here (http://connect-utb.com/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&Itemid=58&task=view.download&cid=22) :)

Great work everyone!But this ain't with jobo's latest kernel, so this package shouldn't handle *.app coyping..?

[himer]

Lol, now everthing is clear.
Thanks for the help.

[mugglesquop]

yes from that link it dont have a tmp folder when extracted

mine did lol.

right click the file, and extract to its own folder, then in that folder should be the tmp folder.

[jutley]

why doesnt the zip extract into a tmp folder can someone confirm how many files should be in the zip i only got one when i copy it to internal storage on root i try to click on it i get some error message it wont boot

[jutley]

the file android-diam 100-
20090204 cannot be
opened.Either it is not
signed with a trusted
certificate,or one of its
components cannot be
found.if the problem
persists,try reinstalling or
restoring this file.

this is the error message any one know whats wrong

[himer]

Hi

It's me again.
I've managed to copy all the files an I've started the install process. At first everthing looks fine. Even the Android bootup screen appears after a few seconds. But then, the screen turns dark an nothing happens. If I boot the HTC again, Windows Mobile starts.
Do I have to wait longer for the installation to complete?
And is the dark screen normal?
Is it a problem that I didn't insert a SIM card?
I've downloaded the latest image.

Thanks for the help.

[jutley]

how di you copy the files i just got one file is this correct how did you place the files on your internal storage file structure thanks

[dangee]

How to type pin code since there is no keyboard on Diamond ?? :)

[himer]

I've drag and dropped the files through Windows Explorer. Just like I do it with an USB stick.

[jutley]

can you tell me how many files and the file structure please as my zip file doesnt extract the corect file structure for some reason

[Untouchab1e]

But this ain't with jobo's latest kernel, so this package shouldn't handle *.app coyping..?

I am not sure.. the newapp folder is there with the SSH.apk in it, so if you see the SSH app when in Android, it works.. if not, then it doesnt (in which case, this is most likely due to the fact that the zImage might not work properly with the Diamond). I have a DIAM100 lying around, but Its not on me so will have to wait until tonight to be able to test it myself.

You need to have your SIM Card inserted and your PIN-code lock disabled (You can do this in Windows Mobile)

How to type pin code since there is no keyboard on Diamond ?? :)

As stated a million times in this thread as well as in the Wiki, the PIN-code lock needs to be disabled before booting into Android.


can you tell me how many files and the file structure please as my zip file doesnt extract the corect file structure for some reason

The folder contained in the .zip file (i use WinRAR for extraction), contains 11 files and 2 folders.


why doesnt the zip extract into a tmp folder can someone confirm how many files should be in the zip i only got one when i copy it to internal storage on root i try to click on it i get some error message it wont boot

Download the .zip file from Connect-utb.com to your computer, unzip using WinRAR or similar and you will either see a tmp folder, or a folder called: android-diam100-20090204. If you get a folder called android-diam100-20090204 you need to go in that folder, because there you will find the "tmp" folder, and its ONLY the "tmp" folder that should be copied to your internal storage. Meaning your file structure on your device should be [internal storage]\tmp and not [internal storage]\android-diam100-20090204\tmp

Good luck everyone!

EDIT: Ive attached two screenshots.. The first shows the tmp folder inside the .zip file after I opened it with WinRAR, the second one shows the content of the tmp folder. NOTE: It is the "tmp" folder you should place on your internal storage. I dont know how to explain this any clearer :)

[jutley]

the zip i am downloading only contains 1 file

[c4software]

Well, if its my package on connect-usb, its :

- The Previous kernel (zImage-Kll)
- You can normaly install application on android via newapp folder

PS : For the new kernel its always doesn't work with diamond.

[Untouchab1e]

the zip i am downloading only contains 1 file

1 file or 1 folder?

Checklist


Are you downloading and extracting the .zip file's content on your computer?
Try using WinRAR (which is what you should be using anyways ^^)
What browser are you using to download the file?
Are you using a download manager or similar?
Have you tried downloading the file again?

[jr_daza]

I dont know why but when i download the file i had to chage the extencion to rar then un rar to a simple file with out estencion a then put the zip extencion again a know the file unzip normaly,

i dont know if the file is made with a linux ver of winzip or what but is the only way for my to work; sorry my enghish but im to lazy to withe in word in order to correrct the sepeling:D

[Untouchab1e]

I packaged it in Windows with WinRAR 3.80. Works fine for me and most likely works fine for most other users :) Can't explain why it doesnt work for you :) filename: android-diam100-20090204.zip

worked fine for me, unpacked with WinRAR :)

[Rich1974]

When i unpacked the zip file with WinRar, I got one file. Then I had to put on an extention the the new unpaked file to filename.zip. And Unpack that again, then I got the tmp folder. (Don't know if it is a bug or...)
Is there anyone that hav had åproblems to unpack the config_tool? I can not unpack that one.

Anyway, thanx for all the work you guys do.

[Untouchab1e]

Really weird this.. Maybe il stop using .zip and start using .rar instead :)

[skero666]

I come again with my question...how can we access the sdcard(inernal memory) since android boots automatic and we can't type "mkdir sdcard" in linux? i installed file explorer application and i have a folder called MMC witch is the internal storage, but in the gallery and music player i still can't access it.

10x for all the work u guys are doing

irm not having much luck i have got all the folders in the corect place now but above step
5-Open up the file explorer, find the tmp directory and launch haret.exe and click run
but where is haret.exe please can someone explain where haret.exe is thanks in advance

[mugglesquop]

but where is haret.exe please can someone explain where haret.exe is thanks in advance

in a folder called 'BOOT' in the TMP folder.

[jutley]

ok thank you found it i have got it to boot and it seems to be stuck on a screen oh wait god damm it its its its android its f....... working you are a god well done

DIAM100 + zImage-kll:

This kernel works with mtype set to 1805, but hungs with 1910. Working default.txt:set mtype 1805
set kernel zImage-kll
set initrd root.cpiogz
set ramsize 0x6000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set cmdline "root=/dev/ram0 init=/init console=tty0 mem=76M msmsdcc_id=2 imgdevname=/dev/mmcblk0 imgdevnum=0 imgdir=/tmp msmts_calib=0x7a.0x5e.0x35a.0x37f msmvkeyb_toggle=hide"
boot


DIAM100 + zImage.25-jobo:

I can't get this kernel to boot into Android; either with mtype 1805 or 1910:
* mtype 1805: device hungs in hARET when booting Linux with the "Go go go" message.
* mtype 1910: takes me to a the Linux shell (no LEDs working, but vibrates once). Device hungs at "mmcblk0" - just like before.

Current default.txt:# Hungs in WM6:
#set mtype 1805
# Hungs in Linux shell:
set mtype 1910
set kernel zImage.25-jobo
set initrd root.cpiogz
set ramsize 0x6000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set cmdline "root=/dev/ram0 init=/init console=tty0 mem=76M msmsdcc_id=2 imgdevname=/dev/mmcblk0 imgdevnum=0 imgdir=/tmp msmts_calib=0x7a.0x5e.0x35a.0x37f msmvkeyb_toggle=hide"
boot

EDIT: after I played around with mtype + kernel in default.txt and soft-resetting the device a couple of times I can't do anything in Android (android.core errors + "Force close" messages) when starting Android with mtype 1805 and zImage-kll. So it seems the images becamse corrupted?

[jutley]

all working quite well but the virtual keyboard when you try to move it messes the screen up and the keys are increadbly small and how do you minimise the keyboard?

[balsat]

Untouchab1e maybe you can copy the wiki to a Howto.txt and put it in your zip file, just sow we don't have to answer stuff like "How can i enter sim code" etc.

[c4software]

@sibbor, don't forget to poweroff correctly android before soft reset.

Long press hang button and select power off.

[mugglesquop]

@sibbor, don't forget to poweroff corectly android after soft reset.

ah nice one - didnt know about this :)

You need to have your SIM Card inserted and your PIN-code lock disabled (You can do this in Windows Mobile)


Hi,
Firstly, thank you for all the work you have put into this. I never expected this to work on a Diamond and I continue to be surprised by your selfless contributions here.
I got the same problem as this guy. Tho I have my SIM in with no PIN code required.
I can get into Android. Have a look around. I disabled the screen timeout.
However, I can't seem to get out of some menus. So I've tried pressing the the 'back' key and the screen fades to black. Nothing I do except hitting reset will get it out of this.
Tried other times and always eventually hit a point where I'm stuck in Android and have to press a key at which point fade to black again.
Any ideas?
Forgive me if this has been answered, cos I couldn't find it.
Many thanks.

BTW this is with android-diam100-20090204.zip

use the direction buttons :) down i think (might be left) takes u back to the previous menu.

[dejant_9]

yes!! i finally found the solution to unpack the diamond configurator...unpack with 7-zip (the only one who want unpack without error..), then rename the file without extention to ".zip" and unpack it with winrar..

[jasonmfarrow]

I have been testing the builds by lavender.t (wiki page) and c4software (post 1975).
The lavender.t will boot but dive down to any app and you cannot get back as the use of any h/w keys hangs.
c4software just will not boot. It does not mount the internal storage and then cannot mount the system images.
BTW. HARET does not see my device as a DIAM100 but a generic device.

[jutley]

ok here are my testing results so far

1 you cant change the date or time keeps reverting back to default settings
2 when holding down the end call key it powers down but gets frozen have to reset.
3 when the screen timeout shuts the screen you cant wake it up but can have on all the time but this drains battrey great if we can figure this out.
4 the virtual keyboard above the one with the tiny buttons i think to type command promps when you try to move it about it messes the screen up and you cant minimise it,
5 when i make a call the recievers phone rings but nothing can be heard in my earpeace incall volume sound not present,
6 No sound what so ever,
7 No vibration when enabled,
8 wifi does not start when enabled,
7 GPS does not work
8 cant seem to get a data connnection going will try o2 setting and try again,
9 cant get capitals when the shift button is presses when using the main keyboard,
10 cant access the internal storage or phone memory,
11 no mac address,
12 no bluetoothe,

this is all for now hope we can get some of thease things working soon and maybe one day a rom install file to overite the htc rom thease are finding whi;st testing today but great work to even getting it to boot up keep up the great work guys.

[touch of jobo]

So you don't think your latest kernel will work on DIAM100 at all?
What I can say at the moment is that .25 kernels built with htcraphael_defconfig don't boot with MTYPE=1805. I don't know why. It used to work. With MTYPE=1910 the kernel will boot on a Diamond but run into trouble as it thinks it runs on a Raphael. I shall built one with htcdiamond_defconfig and put it online. I only have a Raph100 to test with.

I've started a section on the wiki for working configs (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RaphaelLinux#Configurations)... if others want to flesh out other known working configs...that might be help others.
The interesting columns would be the phone model, msmsdcc_id, imgdevname/num, and maybe good working msmts_calib. The values in the original package are good for Raph100.

i trying some program, but right no its possible to remove it ? program are copy in "/data/app" and we don't have acces to this folder to remove it. :S
If you can telnet into your phone, you're root and you can delete everything (even if you don't intend to). As far as I know, youre not root in Term.apk Alternatively, you could mount the system or data image onto your host and the modify them.

[...] Since the android boots automatic now how are we gonna access the SDCARD(internat storage) because now we can't type "mkdir sdcard", or i don't know how :)
Creating the /sdcard directory won't help. Besides, android creates it on boot. The problem is that it tries to mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 (Which is right for Raphael but not for Diamond. I modified it to do that. Originally it would be correct for Diamond... sorry :D) This is controlled from /system/etc/mountd.conf Maybe a symlink from /mmc to /sdcard would work, but I believe that Android won't believe it's there if it hasn't mounted it itself.

pressing the Diamond's 'back' button kills it... :confused:

[...] However, I can't seem to get out of some menus. So I've tried pressing the the 'back' key and the screen fades to black. Nothing I do except hitting reset will get it out of this. [...] Forgive me if this has been answered, cos I couldn't find it.
How about a nice hot cup of RTFW! (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RaphaelLinux) (There you will find that you can change the End Button Behaviour in the Spare Parts app, and also how the keys on the navi are mapped for kernels that don't have full navi support.)

[...] the zip file should contain a folder called 'tmp'. This needs to be copied to the Internal Storage route directory.
Since we can now specify the imgdir from the cmdline it doesn't necessarily need to be /tmp anymore, as long as you specify where the images are located.

But this ain't with jobo's latest kernel, so this package shouldn't handle *.app coyping..?
The app copying does not rely on the kernel. It is in the init script on the roof fs image.

ok thank you found it i have got it to boot and it seems to be stuck on a screen oh wait god damm it its its its android its f....... working you are a god well done
The 1st time you boot, it takes a while before the android boot screen comes up and then it takes another while for the home screen to come up. (Not more than 2 or 3 minutes or so though.) Subsequent boots will be faster.


Sorry for the real estate.. hopefully it helps understanding how stuff works.. ..a bit.

@jobo What is the IP of phone? i try to connect in telnet, and always say connection refused :(
The phone is 192.168.0.206. You should sudo ifconfig usb1 192.168.0.200 on the host your usb is connected to.

Problem solved by disabling the PIN code request.

The New image works fine on my Diam100 too.

PS: and i always can't acces to my phone via usb, my host have correct ip (i think the phone too), but i can't ping it.

This image works out well for my DIAM100.
The New image works fine on my Diam100 too.
Does it merely boot, or do you have working Navi and LEDs? For me (Diam kernel with mtype1805 on a Raph100) the Navi and LEDs don't work.

Many thanks.

BTW this is with android-diam100-20090204.zip


Thanks for the kind words! In order to prevent the screen fading to black when hitting the end key, you should go into the "spare apps" application and map the end-key to "Home", so that when you press it, you are thrown back to the home screen. The reason the screen fades to black is that by default, the end key puts the device to sleep, and since we dont have power management up and running yet, this messes things up.

So, use the spare apps program and your problems will be solved :)

Have a nice evening! (Ive been taking the afternoon and evening "off" due to my birthday, but just thought I wanted to answer this one) :)

Kind regards!

[Untouchab1e]

anyone wanna post a vid of the latest? and then link it on wiki?

I can definetly make a quick vid of my Raph100 running the latest build, and Il can power up my Diam100 as well I guess, although it will look exactly the same :) I can have it up tomorrow evening ;)

Good night!

EDIT: and yeah, I was able to "copy" apk packages from the internal storage. Minesweeper ;)!

[c4software]

Its can be cool if in the wiki we have some links to apk's for try ? no ?

[Rennat]

Can someone tell me what each grouping of the calibration codes are which in the 'default.txt' because on my Diamond's the screen is flipped so the top is the bottom and bottom is the top. But the right and left are ok.
I have tried setting the calibration during booting but the keyboard isn't working (key turn red but inputs nothing) so I can't boot android.
Thanks a head of time...

EDIT:
Never mind I found the answer on another website... Switched 2nd and 4th grouping.

#developpers.

I'm currently testing somes apps from G1, and the highter resolution of Diam & Raph its really a problem. A lot of apps are made for the resolution of G1.

its can be fine if we can pass a parameters to set the screen resolution on boot?

[Untouchab1e]

Could you name which apps have problems with the resolution? Those apps are in my opinion poorly developed as Android developing allows for pretty nice resolution neutral designing through .xml, so It would be interessting to see if the popular apps such as ChompSMS, TuneWiki and others have the same problems.

My point being that apps with resolution problems are designed for the G1 and the developer just havent done it properly ;)

[c4software]

Yep, the problem come from the developpers (some of these don't make there app screen independant). For example pacman.apk (http://rs498.rapidshare.com/files/183956940/pacman.apk).

i prefer an highter resolution but for some case (and for the begining, after i think developpers respect the independant screen resolution) its can be cool to switch the resolution to lower.

[Untouchab1e]

Yep, the problem come from the developpers (some of these don't make there app screen independant). For example pacman.apk (http://rs498.rapidshare.com/files/183956940/pacman.apk).

i prefer an highter resolution but for some case (and for the begining, after i think developpers respect the independant screen resolution) its can be cool to switch the resolution to lower.

I am pretty confident that the decent apps are resolution independant, so I dont think there is a very big problem, and definetly a low priority one ;)

The only problem I am having with the high resolution is the fact that draggin down the notification curtain is significantly more difficult than on my G1 ;)

EDIT: Try Ringdroid (http://code.google.com/p/ringdroid/) ;)

[jutley]

i am going to donate soon keep up the great work

[Untouchab1e]

i am going to donate soon keep up the great work

No worries! Hope things are working out for you finally ;)

[c4software]

Yep dragging top bar is very difficult.(easy only with stylus).

PS: G1 have a trackball, diam and raph don't have it. maybe the trackaball can be replaced by the sensitive panel no ?

[jutley]

yes i really enjoy playing with android 1.0 on my diamond and cant wait for the next release getting the wakeup feature going would be ace

[Untouchab1e]

For those of you who want to play around with a few apps, I just published a little article on Connect-utb with a few links to a few applications. Havent tested them myself, so not sure how well they work (I reckon skype and ringdroid wont be much use yet, but maybe fun to play with anyhow).

Read it here (http://connect-utb.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=108:a-few-android-apk-packages&catid=36:technology)

Enjoy!

if you hold the drop call key on diamond it trys to power of but hangs a soft reset is the only way out wouldnt it be great if it shuts down and returns back to wm6.1 home screen one day i hope.

Since we dont have power management working yet, Nothing related to device sleep or power on/off is working yet as we are currently relying on Windows Mobile to do all the initializations before booting into Android.

[touch of jobo]

Does it merely boot, or do you have working Navi and LEDs? For me (Diam kernel with mtype1805 on a Raph100) the Navi and LEDs don't work.
-Jobo
LEDs doesn't work. Where should the navi work?

Ok, that couldn't have worked, as the Navi driver had never been added to Diamond :o, only to Raphael. (When I say "the Navi works" I mean you can use Home/Send/Left and Back/End/Right separately and the wheel scrolls through menus. :cool:) I now replaced the keypad (gpio matrix) driver with the navi driver in board-htcdiamond.c and added maejreps i2c LED chip driver.
When I boot the resulting kernel (replaced same link as before) (http://tibook.jb.b4m.com/j0b0/zImage-diam.25-jobo) with mtype 1805 (on my Raph100) , I have working Navi and LEDs. I guess this will work on a Diamond as well (please confirm).

Test result on my diamond (DIAM100):

-Touch screen not working (i don't know why)
-Navi and LEDs not working
-Key's:UP/UP, Down/Down, Left/Left, Right/Back, Back/Back, End/back, send and home/left, enter/enter
-no network signal (i have signal with Untouchab1e build)

this is a quick test, not much time right now

[dejant_9]

exactly same results for my diam100 with the latest build for diamond (connect-utb) and this zimage

[uachi]

i have run the android-diam100-20090204 and it works fine.
even send and receive sms.

Did you have network signal before booting Android? Since it all depends on what WinCE does before you boot up Android (meaning that putting your phone in flight mode is not a good idea), it might be the cause as well!

Just curious ;)

Perhaps it would make more sense that someone with a Diamond tries this.
Here is a diff (http://tibook.jb.b4m.com/j0b0/diffs-commits/commit-from-25-git-head-on-090205-to-latest-test-state.diff.txt) against the latest (at time of posting, 090205,16:00,CET) git state of the .25 branch. It looks big but that's because it adds a bunch of new files.

when i dont have signal before i boot up android i wont have signal in android at all but if i have signal in windows first then boot my signal is fine in android i can confirm this as true

-JoboJust tested the new image out, and noticed the same thing as the others:

* No LED's worked in the Linux shell (don't know how it's supposed to look)
* I was able to boot into Android
* Touchscreen didn't respond to clicks, although I'm able to navigate to a certain point with the hardware buttons
* Also I didn't get any signal in Android, even though I had it in WM6

Update: I'm able to move around the virtual keyboard in the Linux shell. When the Android boot screen shows I can barley move it, and once Android booted the virtual keyboard cannot be moved at all - since the touchscreen doesn't respond to clicks as told earlier...

The previous zImage worked out "better" (depending on what you test ;))

[daronnz]

Hi folks,

first of all i'd like to thank you all for the good work, very good job.

On my diam100 the newest build 20090204 with the zImage-diam.25-jobo kernel runs very good and relatively fast.

Her is my default txt:

set mtype 1805
set kernel zImage-diam.25-jobo
set initrd root.cpiogz
set ramsize 0x6000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set cmdline "root=/dev/ram0 init=/init console=tty0 mem=76M msmsdcc_id=2 imgdevname=/dev/mmcblk0 imgdevnum=0 imgdir=/tmp msmts_calib=0x7a.0x5e.0x35a.0x37f msmvkeyb_toggle=hide"
boot

The Calibrationstring which is posted on the wiki (msmts_calib=0x81.0x393.0x358.0x7D) isn't working for me (seems all input on the touchscreen is "upside down")

does someone have a tip how to include the mkdir /sdcard on boot, so we could play around with some additional software?

Keep on running!

Thanks

[dejant_9]

seems to work with the latest build for diamond..I don't know why it dosen't work before...

[Gautje]

Tested on my HTC Touch Diamond, version 20090204. (Might be a noob question, but I can't find whether mine is a DIAM100 or DIAM500, but I guess the DIAM100, since the features that shoudln't work on the DIAM500 work fine with me...)

- Booting takes longer than before, much longer than the 20090115 build. 20% of the boots it hangs even before it gives the Android booting screen.
- With PIN enabled, I can't login, but that's known
- Nav keys are little messed up: Home doesn't work, it doesn't open a call windows when pressing the green phone button, but does start a call when a number has been selected;
- When clicking the red phone button, OR the Back button, the phone crashes. The screen fades but stayes switched on, and I have to reset the phone to boot Windows again.
- Boot sound is disabled;
- Cannot play any music or ringtones etc. at all.
- When calling somebody, that phone does ring, but when the call is answered, communication is impossible; both sound and microphone do not seem to work
- Internet does not work, nor does the phone differ between 2G, 3G and HSDPA network
- When not using the phone for about 30 seconds, it crashes
- When trying to switch of the phone, the screen locks and hangs, doesn't do anything at all
- The on/off button does not work, and the screen can't be locked/unlocked
- The battery status cannot be read, but in Windows, everytime I boot, the battery power has decreased! It uses a lot of energy!
- In some way, it seems not to remember the date/time... Confusing! xD
- Camera doesn't work since the phone says that an SD card needs to be placed. The phone does not use SD cards, but has 4GB internal storage, but it can't see this somehow.
- The "About Phone" menu button doesn't do anything
- In the terminal, it gives me "{COMMAND}: permission denied", every command, even "who am i"
- The Led lights don't work yet, nor does stylus detecion
- It doesn't recognize a USB cable being plugged in or out
- Bluetooth/WiFi don't work yet


- I have a perfect network range, it's much better than in Windows!
- The layout is perfect; menu's work fine, all graphics are great and don't lag at all
- Selecting menu's and getting back works perfect.
- The start screen works fine, new items can be added and removed to/from the desktop, and app's launch when clicked
- Sending and receiving text messages works fine, though the keyboard seems hard to handle with. It makes up it's own words and T9 can't be switched off. Also the selected area can't be deselected, and when attempting to, it pastes the selected text on to the place you click
- Twisting the screen in the Photo Album works fine, though it can't find any photo's
- Touch screen seems to be working perfect
- The error on boot has been removed, thanks!

And a special one: Snake doesn't work! Aaaaarghhhh xD

So far my review. Hope it's clear :)

Keep up the good work!

Strange the screen doesn't work, for me it does? Try to calibrate it again in Windows, maybe that helps...

Can these problems vary because of the ROM version of the phone?

And no, don't know how to get it back; reinstall allways works xD Just a moment, I'm going to try that myself :)

Edit: Can't boot into Android, it stucks after it tries to enable the virtual keyboard -.-

[dejant_9]

ok i've understand...touchscreen work just for a few time..

[daronnz]

With that "old" one msmts_calib=0x7a.0x5e.0x35a.0x37f i'm fine, 3 screens all on the hole display.

And as you say in your post i cound say better :-)
I's very nice to play with android

what we next need is to auto mount the sdcard (internal storrage on diam)

To get it back; press the UP key, and select "Add". Then go to "Widget" and select "Clock", and tadaa, it appears on your screen again.

Is it possible to get on of them?

Ok, i was making a mistake... I was booting on my linux partition on the sdcard, and then Android can see /sdcard just fine... but when i boot on the win/tmp image it boots up fine, but no sdcard is found!

[Gautje]

So, can you fix the file so it will boot under Windows? Or will we have to reset the file to the original :)?

[balsat]

So, can you fix the file so it will boot under Windows? Or will we have to reset the file to the original :)?

Is bit of a problem... when you boot from a image, the /dev/mmcblk0p1 (windows partition) is mounted on /mmc to get access on the image, and when Android trying to mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 on the sdcard it founds out that it is already mounted and return a error.

[c4software]

in fact you don't have to mount mmc in sdcard folder. Just create it its enought.

[Wonko69]

I just downloaded the 20090204 build from connect-usb and the initrd

I deleted all the files in my TMP folder and replaced them with the files in the zip file. But some files were missing.

So my question is should i just download an older version to get the initrd.droid.cpio.gz file

Actually .. it will mount but read-only. (No thumbnails for your photos.) The problem is that it tries to mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 which is OK for Raph but not for Diam.

Just delete your entire old tmp folder and use the one contained in the zip with the newest build from connect-utb. All required files are included

[Untouchab1e]

On a different matter, a new version of the HTC Android Configuration Tool has been released!

All current users will get a notification when starting the app informing of the new version available along with a download link.

The update is critical because as it is, the program will likely screw up your default.txt's rather than fix them.

Changelog

*Removed the clear calibration and the option to turn the visual keyboard off (can only hide it or have it on).

*Now only modifies the values changed instead of writing entire new files!

Conclusion being that I have removed a few minor features, but made sure the ones still there work 100%

Use the Config tool to check for newest builds for the Diamond and Raphael, and make adjustments to the build configuration through a userfriendly interface. Many more features planned, but wanted to rush out this update so that I can sleep well tonight knowing people wont wonder why they cant boot android after using the tool ;)

When using this "Android configurator", I get an error when I try to boot Android. It says it expects something at line one in default.txt, which is not there...

[Untouchab1e]

What does it say it expects?

[Gautje]

The program says: "Default.txt edited succesfully"

Then when I open Haret, and choose Run, it opens a dialog saying "Ërror. line 1: Expected <varname>"

[Untouchab1e]

hmm, strange.. Il check it

Which version did you use? 0.4 or 0.5? And what modifications did you make to the default.txt?

EDIT: I found the (most likely) problem (unicode instead of pure text). Uploading version 0.5.1 now ;)

EDIT 2: 0.5.1 deployed! Thanks for the rapid feedback

I have a few questions I would love to have answered and no they haven't been answer yet...
-Is android port going to work with my USA Sprint HTC Diamond. (it doesn;t use a sim card)??
-On the 20090204 version the screen keeps going crazy.
-The screen is still messed up colors. (no one has mentioned it and it doesn't say it still should in the description)

[Gautje]

Works now, but can't boot. It gets stuck before loading the virtual keyboard. I'm going to try it again now :)

Edit 1: Booting Android fine now.

Works now, but can't boot. It gets stuck before loading the virtual keyboard. I'm going to try it again now :)

Thanks for testing so quickly! If it gets stuck loading the virtual keyboard, make sure you soft reset (reboot) the device before launching Android. It should be done after you have connected the phone to your computer ;)

I noticed, yes :) But it works fine now. The list that I made does stay the same, though, but that's logical.

Edit 1: Is there some kind of fix now to have this "sd card" or "internal storage" on the Diamond activated, so that the camera does work, and that I may use my own files? Or can't it be mounted while Windows uses it, like the Sim Pin?

And how long will it take to get calling activated? Because in my eyes, that's one of th emain functionalities of a phone. The rest are extra's xD

Thing is, calls work, but the speaker and microphone doesnt. In order to get them working, there are a bunch of other low level stuff that needs to be sorted out first. It will take time, but it should be very possible to work out.

I dont belive the camera would work either, since we dont have the drivers for it I think, anyways, its not working and its pretty low priority at the moment :)

[Gautje]

Haha, ok. The calls do work indeed. but when I start a call, after about 10 seconds, the phone crashes. Might be due to the screen, that switches itself off, since the phone also crashes when it's not used for some time. I disabled screen timeout, and now it doesn't crash. Can't try calling at the moment, since it's quite late.

I cannot be called by the way. When I try calling to my phone, it rings one time (The phone you are yousing) and then automatically switches to voicemail.

I do love the progress! Even in this stage I already love Android =]

[Vash]

hmm, strange.. Il check it

Which version did you use? 0.4 or 0.5? And what modifications did you make to the default.txt?

EDIT: I found the (most likely) problem (unicode instead of pure text). Uploading version 0.5.1 now ;)

EDIT 2: 0.5.1 deployed! Thanks for the rapid feedback

Good work!

On a different matter, a new version of the HTC Android Configuration Tool has been released!

All current users will get a notification when starting the app informing of the new version available along with a download link.

The update is critical because as it is, the program will likely screw up your default.txt's rather than fix them.

I get the following error. What file am I missing and any pointer please? I am on Raphael with NETCF 3.5 installed.

File or assembly name 'Microsoft.VisualBasic, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B03F5F7F11D50A3A', or one of its dependencies, was not found.

[kmartburrito]

Got it up and running on my Sprint Raph800. Nice work everyone!

I did have to change the calibration string in my default.txt as well as setting the msmsdcc_id=3 to get it to boot properly. Colors are still off, but that will happen when it happens I guess. Do we think it's because it's not using harware acceleration, and instead might just be software accelerated? Reminds me of when you don't have your graphics driver installed on your home PC, and you can only get 8 bit color.

I am SO ready to ditch WM it's not even funny. Keep up the good work!

@Untouchab1e:

Could you make the Android configurator follow the system's proxy/connection settings? Right now it can't because of the proxy configuration in my network.

Since you dont use "." or commas in your posts, its hard to understand what you are trying to say. Are you saying that it boots 3/5 times if you reset the phone? Or does a soft reset fix the problem?

Can this help to run the newest version on my raph300?

Using the latest download (android-diam100-20090204) I can get this to boot and, thanks to the wiki, navigate.
Calls work, once I removed my PIN lock, but the timeout caused it to crash as documented.
Can't wait for the top guys to get this fully functional.
Great stuff so far guys, keep up the excellent work.

[Neo+6210]

[QUOTE=Untouchab1e;3266673]Since power management isnt working, we cannot wake up the device yet. So to solve your problem (a workaround at least), is to go into settings in Android, then disable the screen timeout. This will make the screen stay on constantly. This will let you explore Android without worrying about the screen timeout!

Good luck ;)

Thanks I hav now disable power management.

Hi Guys

To mount the SD card in android, this need to be done by android and not at boot time by the kernel (took me about 4 hours to relaise that) android will not reconise it if it is mounted that way and i have no idea why.

I don't know how well it will work for you guys running from the img files but here is how to do it with android installed in an ext2 partition on the internal storage.

my layout is 3gb fat32 - 1gb ext2

all you need to do is edit the mountd.conf in /system/etc at the moment it trys to mount "block_device mmcblk0" this need to be changed to "block_device mmcblk0p1" (my fat partition)... i also modified my initrd/init to include the lines:

mmcdev=/dev/mmcblkp0
mmcdev1=/dev/mmcblkp0p1
mmcdev2=/dev/mmcblkp0p2

mknod ${mmcdev} b 179 0
mknod ${mmcdev1} b 179 1
mknod ${mmcdev2} b 179 2

this will automaticaly mount the card as rw and you'll be able to access it.

if you do not have android installed in a ext2 partition then i doubt the above steps will work..

also if you don't have android installed on a ext2 partition or know how to make a custom initrd this info is easly found on google.
i read this forum a lot but this is my first post as i didn't feel i have had any thing useful to add, and id didn't want to clutter this post more.

i would also like to thank everyone who is working on this project you guys are amazing.

P

If you are using linux on the host side, you can turn on IP forwarding with :
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

And put :
setprop net.dns1 208.67.222.222
setprop net.dns2 208.67.220.220
to your init.rc if is not already there, or type it via a telnet client.

Have you unpacked the contents of the zip to tmp on your sdcard?

Yes I created a /tmp folder on the internal 4GB storage of my diamond.
Did I misunderstood something ?
I just saw an error :

I'm sure after everything gets worked out, having an Android ROM for the Diamond will come out and there won't be any need to have WM on there unless you want it for whatever crazy reason.

Actually, there will probably never be a replacement rom. WM does a lot of hardware initialization that, while it could be done in a linux rom, will more than likely deemed too much work to be worth it.

[Untouchab1e]

Actually, there will probably never be a replacement rom. WM does a lot of hardware initialization that, while it could be done in a linux rom, will more than likely deemed too much work to be worth it.

Actually, we need to get hardware initialization going to get a fully working Android port. I believe they have done it with the Vogue. Without inits, you wont be able to put the device to sleep for instance (turn off the screen along with wifi for instance).

So yeah, I believe we could see an Android ROM, but not before the Port is fully done.

Look at the Vouge now! It came early 2007 and is already running Android better than the G1 (considering the Android builds are newer and the phone is nicer).

The Android port is done when its done, and I dont think its going to take so very long for key features to come in place, making Android ready for daily usage.

So, what programmers language do I have to study before I can actually develop programs? I mean, I get the basics of UNIX, but can't write too much as in drivers... Any good tuts to start off with? (And I know I won't even get close to become a prof, but it might be just nice to be able to help and write daily Linux programs)

Could you be a bit more specific? For instance, developing applications for Android is done in Java and .xml (for the layout). For drivers and such, assembly is good to know ;)

Glad you got it working. Could you elaborate what you mean with the touchscreen barely working and no hardware keys working? You know that you can map the end key in the "Spare Parts" app in to solve the "fade to black" problem?

Hello

I have a DIAM210 (Japanese S21HT Emobile) phone, and i'm launching Connect-UTB's Android for HTC Touch Diamond Version: 20090204 and I'm having trouble with the hardware buttons.

The only buttons working properly are the volume control, but that's it; the power button does nothing, the left, home, dial and central button appears also to do nothing, only the up and down buttons are working... but wrongly mapped. The up button is mapped as the menu, and the down button is mapped as the back button (or it could be end, i'm not sure).
But the weirdest part of all is that when you pushes any of the buttons on the right of the navi pad (right, end and back buttons) the system appears to get in some kind of infinite loop, the screen picture suddenly fucks up and you have to reset the phone.

Hope you can find the cause, and please tell me if I can help with more information on it.

[Untouchab1e]

Hello

I have a DIAM210 (Japanese S21HT Emobile) phone, and i'm launching Connect-UTB's Android for HTC Touch Diamond Version: 20090204 and I'm having trouble with the hardware buttons.

The only buttons working properly are the volume control, but that's it; the power button does nothing, the left, home, dial and central button appears also to do nothing, only the up and down buttons are working... but wrongly mapped. The up button is mapped as the menu, and the down button is mapped as the back button (or it could be end, i'm not sure).
But the weirdest part of all is that when you pushes any of the buttons on the right of the navi pad (right, end and back buttons) the system appears to get in some kind of infinite loop, the screen picture suddenly fucks up and you have to reset the phone.

Hope you can find the cause, and please tell me if I can help with more information on it.

Didnt even know there was a DIAM210, heh! Anyhow, at least you can map the back button using the Spare Parts application (set the end key to go home instead of power off). As for the other key mappings, I think you just have to live with it for the time being.

I've tried the UTB download for the Diamond v. 20090204
@ http://www.connect-utb.com/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&Itemid=58&task=viewcategory&catid=5

Works, boots, Hello Android! Cool! but then I'm asked for my PIN code?
I type it in and the system hangs. Also hangs after 2 min of no activity.

Weird because in WM I've already typed in the PIN Code.
Did i miss anything?

I'm running on a Dutch Tmobile MDA IV.

just disable the pin conformation on startup in your windows mobile settings.

any solution for MY PROBLEM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3309313&postcount=2226) ?!?!??!

[pegaz]

Guys maybe it will be a little out of toppic ,but...
I don't know much about porting system from other devices etc, I don't know much about Linux but i now a lot about Widnow$ - too much!! and this is the point. I don't think my self a noob. I've been using a lot of windows mobile devices, smarphones etc and I really FED UP with this stupid system. I got enough of surfing from rom to rom, radio to radio etc. having hope that will improve something All the time problems, sth stucks, hangs. Diamond it;s a nice device I like his shape, the way it looks but IS THERE ANY CHANCE THAT ONE DAY I'LL BE ABLE TO FLASH MY PHONE WITH ANDROID ROM(working without any problems)??? to kick of from my device the biggest $hit ever made which is Windows?? Is there any hope for that?

Disable the PIN-protection in Windows Mobile before booting Android. This has been answered many times already, so please do read the documentations before asking for help.

They did it on the Vouge, so there is no real reason it wont work on the Diamond eventually. Its mostly just a matter of time.

just wondering if i install android can i revert back to win mob 6.1?

[lasterato]

Had to upload this so i could get it...(don't ask)....but as a result:

have this mirror: android-diam100-20090204.zip (http://www.intertubes.info/DevDir/HTC%20Diamond%20Android/android-diam100-20090204.zip)

[illi]

I kinda like Android but I also like Winmo (for some of its apps); and I am using RedFly (http:///www.celiocorp.com) which currently does not support Android. It would be great if both OS can be installed side-by-side and switchable.

Just my 2-cents;-)

This is not solution for all. I can't remove PIN protection for my SIM. Tried on many phones including HTC.

untouchable,

I downloaded your latest version from Connect-UTB, but booting on my DIAM100 always gives me:

mmc0:new MMC card at adress 0001
MMCBLK0 : mmc0:0001 000000000 392323425kb (size = good)
mmcblk0: unknown partition table

and then it hangs... ?

You mean you dont know how, or why cant you remove the PIN-protection?

[marbalon]

I know how, but not working for some SIM cards. I uncheck "Require PIN..." without errors but after reset it ask for PIN again. But we can edit initrd and add some commands to enter PIN. Pin can be passed in default.txt file.

if [ grep -c PIN /proc/cmdline = 1]; then echo "$MYPIN" > /dev/tttS0; fi
(^this is only idea)

Marcin.

Hello,

I'm new on the board so hello everybody :)
I tried the .zip archive you propose on this link :
http://connect-utb.com/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&Itemid=58&task=viewcategory&catid=5
I have a several lines of errror saying:
init : cannot find '/system/bin/...' disabling ...
And everything stops .
Do you have any idea where it can comes from ???
For information, I have a DIAM100 with SFR (french mvno) default wm 6.1 ROM.

Thank you
Chnapsy

Hello,

I wrote this message few days ago not hoping for end user support but for a little help as I can contribute this project testing new developpements.
I understand that it is a developer forum and not a support board but concider that common human beings (I mean non developers) can help troubleshooting and improve quality of final software.
I am not developer but GNU/Linux net and sysadmin, I have a quiet good understanding of Linuxes systems troubleshooting. (still have I to boot successfully )
Will it be possible to have a little hand on this as I can move on and start trying to try to contribute ;)

Hope you'll understand my point of view.

[petay]

well i have used the same link as you chnapsy.

downloaded the one labeled 'new' (Version: 20090204)

unpacked it to my internal storage

i ejected my device from the os

unplugged the cable

reinserted the cable but chose 'activesync'

then open file explorer

navigated to /internal storage/tmp/boot and ran haret18

i clicked run in haret

wait for a while. the first run takes longest

play with android!!!

this worked on my orange touch diamond (the phone thinks its a p3700 but we know its a diam100)

I hope you are aware that myself and many others have spent the last god knows how many pages on this forum helping out the "common human beings" on getting Android running, many of whom ask the same questions over and over so I try my best to help as many as possible.

Follow the step-by-step posted by petay. Also make sure that you place the right folder in the right place (check the video guide at connect-utb.com --> downloads --> other).

That being said, I dont think you will get much out of running Android as it is in terms of development. Right now we are working on getting everything working in .27 that was working in .25.

[chnapsy]

Hi Petay,

It seems I missed the step "reinserted the cable but chose 'activesync'"
I'll try tonight.
(I followed a video tutorial I find on this forum)

Thanks for your answer

[chnapsy]

Hi,

I well understand the situation and am pretty aware about the great job you and other are doing, I just wanted an answer.
It seems I got one, right here. :)
I don't know if I missed a post on those 225 pages but I did not find a step-by-step method as wrote petay there.
Be sure if I saw one before I did not asked ...
By the way, if it does not exist I am ready to write a standard step-by-step how-to and host it to avoid those newbies questions from others.

Cheers

Sure, there are many step-by-step posts :) Ain't too difficult. And if you read the Wiki, and just read what people wrote here, you might have just thought of unzipping the folder on your Internal Storage, and then run Haret. Easy, no?

[rmahmoodi]

Hey guys, I just purchased my Diamond last night and I've been playing around with it. Anyway, I would really like to get involved with writing drivers for this to help move it along. I just picked up another laptop (waiting for it to arrive in the mail) that I'm going to load Linux (maybe OSX) on and use it for this awesome project.

My question is, where can I find some information on the MSM chipset? Or is there another program I can use to sniff out the calls being made? I am new at developing drivers for Linux, but I think I'm a pretty fast learner.

Hope to contribute something to this soon.

Thanks for all the hardwork guys!

Same problem here ., what am i doing wrong .:confused:


Edit - Got it working after 2nd reboot ..

[mike171562]

Glad you got it working. Could you elaborate what you mean with the touchscreen barely working and no hardware keys working? You know that you can map the end key in the "Spare Parts" app in to solve the "fade to black" problem?

I can boot fine, I try opening the "apps" section, I can see the apps, but if i try to click on any of them, there is either no response or the screen is affected up on the opposite side, and the blind folds down. I finally was able to select one app, but it froze up forcing me to reboot again.
