If you have an accelerometer/orientation based application that doesn't work, please report.
Current sensor code is really ugly, hasn't been widely tested, and has been made without clear understanding of what is expected by android from the driver. There is no doc about it in android !
So it's most likely some applications won't work.
By the way, even if i implemented an "orientation" sensor, diam/raph have no compass, so azimuth always answers 0.

Front Panel

Diam 100

apparently the front panel stopped being responsive for me. IT works in most situations but before during the Haret boot, the keys would light up when I put my finger on it. Now they don't do that and it stops me from getting past the lock screen.

wondering if anyone else has this problem

So far, it works great, but am I right if the device is slower with WIFI enabled?

WIFI works, sound works, haven't tested accelerometer yet, will check it soon :)

Edit: Tested accelerometer, it works.

If you have an accelerometer/orientation based application that doesn't work, please report.
I have tested "Flyer", and "Tilt Lander", they both work, although not very smooth as mentioned already.
The program "Accelerometer" however doesn't seem to read anything.

Oh, and Android 2.0 "Eclair" SDK is available!

I've uploaded a new version of phh and I build which corrects the sound in android. Thanks to babijoee for this contribution.

The link is still http://www.cobaltcode.com/fileupload/data/Android/AllInOne/android-donut_diam-raph-27-10-09.7z

PS : hehehe page 500 !
Music playback now works. However, if I use my bluetooth headset, the music still stutters very much. I would really like to be able to use my diamond with android as a media player. Hope you can fix this! Anyway, you are making great progress.

MrPippy, newest zimage gets me to the android splash screen but then reboots. I've tried w/my old data.img and removing the one created repeatedly. Same default.txt that I was using to boot your last kernel.

Can you try my (posted by leobaillard) latest release please ?
I tried to activate what's necessary for CDMA, don't know if this will be enough.

Hi There!

Amazing what you have done so far. Have periodically tested builds, and the last one surely is the best.

Wonder if anyone has the same symptom I have:
Wifi seems to work (Google Maps and Browser work) but I cannot log in to my Google account. Is this impossible from Wifi? (cannot imagine...)

details: DIAM 100

other observations:
Wifi works, Accelerometer works, battery still drains fast, enabling GPS does NOT freeze the phone

keep up the good work!

Offer

Since I love this project soo much, and since I'm in the process of making an old laptop to some usage.. I could give some special people that upload stuff an offer.

I have a very fast uplink and that to say, a lot of bandwidth to no usage. If some of you want me to, I could set up an FTP for you to upload to, that people will be able to download from directly (this will remove the annoying slow hosts)

Contact me if this is interesting. :rolleyes:

DIAM 400

OK so this works for the Verizon Diamond DIAM400 at least the 09-09-09 build I am testing out the latest build tonight I'll let you know of the progress. Thanks guys for your hard work.


Startup.txt for DIAM400
Code:
set RAMSIZE 0x08000000
Set ramaddr 0x10000000
set MTYPE 2040
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
#
# The following kernel parameters are useful
# ppp.username - The username used to connect to the network when dialing #777
# ppp.password - The password used to connect to the network when dialing #777
# msm_sdcc.msmsdcc_fmax - The maximum frequency (in Hz) used by the SD controller
# pm.sleep_mode - The mode used when the phone is off
# 0=Power Collapse Suspend, 1=Power Collapse, 2=Apps Sleep,
# 3=Slow Clock and Wait for Interrupt 4=Wait for Interrupt

# 0=Don't power off the panel (Default)
# 1=Hitachi 2=Topoly 3=Samsung
# mddi.width - width of the scaled display

    I don't understand, why haret could not use the framebuffer !? because i can change the framebuffer on my own hand

    Code:
     pfh VRAM 480*1 0x0099

    and the first line is blue

    I packed the actual XDAndroid release with the actual Kernel, rootfs and initrd preconfigured for diamond and including the cab of GEN.Y Dualboot to send it to a friend to run it out of the box, no big work, but I thought I could share it with you too.

    Here: http://depositfiles.com/files/eo9pdi8yk

    This is no work by me

    GEN.Y Dualboot is made by yozgatg
    XDAndroid is made by the XDAndroid team

    please support their work

    best regards
