---

THANKS TO bassiebal

So I noticed there wasnt any tutorial on how to install it and you just had to search all the posts in the froyo x thread to figure it out. Now I have done it this way.Im sure there are tons of other ways.But this one workes for me and I just want to share it. I will try to keep it up to date so everybody can install android on their blackstone.

All credits to Tiad8 and other developers this is not my build!

special thanks to TRNSLN who helped me install froyo so I can help you

Anyway first things first. Is this something for me to use daily? well here is your change to figure out.

Chapters of this tutorial:
[1]Formatting SD card
[2]Installing Froyo X red
[3]Installing Camera
[4]Finishing up

Downloads
1 Froyo X Red http://www.multiupload.com/16UTFCYLTA
2 kernel+libs http://www.multiupload.com/YGVM8VELPV
3 Haret+Startup.txt-Ts-Calibration http://www.multiupload.com/33Z52W8L14
4 If having problems with booting android try this startup.txt
[1]Formatting SD card

Easy as pie.
put your memory card in a sd card reader (your blackstone will do fine) and plug it in your pc/laptop.
open My pc and look for your memory card and right click on it.
Click Format

http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/3646/16774455.png

Ok great Sd card is formatted and ready to go. no lets move on..

[B][2]Installing froyo X Red /B]
ok first things first download Froyo X Red and Haret+Startup.txt-Ts-Calibration.
Then unpack Froyo X Red to the root of your memory card(root means on your memory card not in an folder on your memory card)

Then open up Haret+Startup.txt-Ts-Calibration and copy all the files to the root of your memory card.

Now unmount your Blackstone or Sd card reader from your pc.Put the Sd card in your blackstone(if it isnt already there) navigate to your storage card and open the file Haret

Now it shoud just give you a bunch of text and a little linux penguin let it load for a while(note: It coud take some minutes so dont think it wont boot)

it shoud boot. now follow the set-up and sync your google account.then turn off your blackstone and reboot it.so it boots in windows mobile again.when its in windows mobile go to the next step!

[3]Installing Camera
so android working accordingly everything set up but still no camera..
its time to change that

download kernel+libs

simply unpack the zip to your memory card..
overwrite zImage

thats that your done. enjoy android with working camera!
[4]Finishing up

this isnt really a neccesary step but I do recommend it.

open up spare parts and set the Window animation and Transition animation to Fast

and your done! have fun with your brand new Android phone..

dont forget to check this thread for updates!

Ts-calib for Blackstone. Rmove extension and put it in your andboot folder.

You will also need the "lib_camera" folder in the root of your SD-Card for camera to function. This is missing in this ROM distribution, but you can find the link for it in the first post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883966

Is this FroyoX build of yours still based on the Huawei U8150 from Neopeek? Just wondering of curiosity.

Hello,

I just tried with the 3 different camera modules, and with and without oc.
I used calibration from this thread and also from an older install of mine.
Find attached my STARTUP.txt.

I always have the same result.
Haret Booting OK
Passing Boot animation OK
Unlock SIM card OK

Then during the setup process, after clicking on the droid, it freezes and the image stay put, I can not do anything but soft reset. It does it at different stages: Time setup, or google account setup, or location setup...

If there is a way I can give you more information about what's going on please ask.

Cheers,

ok for those who are having crashes from setup screen: THIS IS WHAT WORKED FOR ME ON MY BLACKSTONE AND MY WORK WITH OTHER DEVICES!!

OPTION (1)

1) WHEN YOU REACH SETUP SCREEN REMOVE SIM CARD ONLY.....NOT BATTERY!
2) NOW CARRY ON WITH SETUP SCREEN AND SKIP EVERYTHING IT MAY FREEZE FOR 5SEC OR SO JUST WAIT!
3) NOW YOUR AT HOME SCREEN NAVIGATE TO (SETTINGS, WIRELESS & NETWORKS, MOBILE NETWORKS, ACCESS POINT NAME.......CHOOSE YOUR PROVIDER!
4) NOW THAT YOU HAVE PROVIDER AND IT HAS A GREEN DOT TO THE RIGHT OF IT YOU NEED TO POWER OFF YOUR DEVICE!
5) REPLACE YOUR SIM CARD AND POWER UP IN WM AND THEN RUN HARET AND YOU SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO WITH NO FREEZING IF YOU HAVE THE 3G ICON SHOW IN YOUR STATUS BAR AT THE TOP!!

OPTION (2)

THIS REQUIRES SPEED BUT WILL WORK BUT YOU HAVE TO BE FAST YOU MAY HAVE TO REBOOT LEAST 3 TIME BECAUSE IT MAY FREEZE!

BOOT HARET WHEN YOU REACH SETUP SCREEN THIS TIME LEAVE SIM CARD IN BUT TRY TO SKIP EVERYTHING AS QUICK AS U CAN, TO GET TO HOME SCREEN, IF YOU MANAGE TO GET TO HOME SCREEN THATS THE SETUP PROCESS DONE, IF YOUR PHONE FREEZES RESTART IT AGAIN YOU SHOULD BE AT HOME SCREEN THIS TIME, YOU NEED TO GO TO (SETTINGS, WIRELESS & NETWORKS, MOBILE NETWORKS, ACCESS POINT NAME.......CHOOSE YOUR PROVIDER THEN GO BACK 1 THEN GO TO NETWORK OPERATORS AND SELECT AUTOMATICALLY IT WILL SEARCH THEN AFTER 10 SECONDS FREEZE...........REBOOT AND YOU SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO! (NOTE YOU SHOULD DO THIS QUICKLY FROM WHEN YOUR HOME SHOWS HOME SCREEN BECAUSE IT WILL FREEZE WITHIN 40 SECONDS)

i know it alot of messing around but its worth it,........if you want to try this build out because its fast fast fast!!!!!

hope it works for you all

These issues are been delt with ive been told in the nxt update............no camera working at the moment

Thank you, that helped.

Now testing other functionalities.

I changed end button mapping to "back home" as it seems it had same mapping as power button initialiy. I also put animations and transitions to fast.

I synchronized my google account and gmail/contacts/agenda are fine.

I'll keep you up to date. But, so far, this is definitely the best versions I ever tested. It is amazingly fast!

This is awesome work!

UPDATE1:
- Wifi : not OK.
This is a shame because as I do not have data plan, it means I can not download apps from the market without wifi, and I would really like to download some apps. I would really appreciate a fix!
- Gallery: OK
- SMS receive and send: OK
- Camera: Not OK
- Music Player: Partially OK because there audio stuttering (note: is this applicable to this version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=905085&page=4)

Update2:
-Wifi is OK (just has to change zImage and modules)
- Market: OK (download apps included)

Update3:
- Screen orientation OK
- Talk OK
So far no freeze or sluggishness. Amazingly fast.
