I noticed that he had to have a clean install for programs to be included in Android
So the installation again from the beginning "SD formatting or deleting all files and folders that run Android"
Re settled with the appropriate applications and after choosing the keyboard "X" in the software options

Sorry for my English, I go through a translator.

hi arrrghhh
how i can fix audio problem???:)
thanks

Audio problem?

I assume you mean the stutter during media playback...

Fix the issue with the battery code. If you kill the [battery] process, the stutter goes away... so something in there is polling too frequently, or otherwise choking the device causing the stutter.

I don't think anyone knows the real issue, otherwise they would've fixed it! lol.

Midnights kernel ext3 has no stuttering :D

but why i havnt audio
in rington or play music:confused:

What the heck are you talking about?

Somehow I get the feeling you didn't follow the pre-install steps. Please re-read the first post, and tread lightly in TESTING threads. They're meant for developers and testers to report bugs, not to be run daily by users that can't report problems properly.

After copying files from zip into root (!) of the SD card (when copied with folder which is inside GBX - kernel does not find the root partition), kernel boots and runs fsck. Fsck then finds a load of errors on root partition, automatically fixes them and after that, I can see nice kernel panic or something like this. Funny thing is that touchpad calibration _still_works_, so I can touch few times, then it ends and all phone life ends too. Only vibrations are alive when i touch the screen ;P

Anyone can tell me what I did wrong?

After copying all with overwrite again I have a result like on screenshot.

How is this even possible to have "unclean" status of at least two system partition images while installing a fresh rom?

[edit]

I suppose I know now what happened - kernel detected on my sd other root from different rom. Should change labels first.

[/edit][edit]

I was wrong, solution is even worse - this rom cannot be installed on other partition than FIRST. It has to be mmcblk0p1 !
You really should mention this. I've lost an hour to get it booting...

[/edit][edit]

Settings->Applications->Storage use, here, click third tab. It will run and immediately collapse (die) back to "applications". Then if you click anything, it will die too, but if you then click "Development", phone freezes. Only vibration still works while pressing "back" or "hangup". Battery removal is the only choice.
And I just wanted to check the size of the /data partition to know how much apps can be installed, so simple...

[/edit]

i was stuck at the same point. the reason to that is -i think- that i had partitions. once i deleteed them the phone booted normally...

testing for 1 day now.
1. bt doesn t transfer files. i tried with two other android phones and i couldn t transfer them.
2. wifi signal is very weak. longer than 2 meters and it loses signal
3i can t change keyboard. there is no option to choose keyboard so i installed a therd party keyboard and i couldn t select it. so i uninstalled the others to select this one.
4. i have random freezes. and i have to remove the battery. 5 times through the first day. all of them was the time i was using the japanese keyboard.
5. sound works as ringtone and when selecting things. i haven t tried media files yet. in time...
6. so far the build is pretty slow. i hope for an update to speed things up

but the best effort so far. welldone to the devs because it is a very serious work...

This project seems very idle over here. Is this project still being worked on for an actual release or is the beta version the best it will get?. There seems to be lots of version of the gb base, but my opinion is midnights bundle works the best for me based on ext3. As a second devise it really is usable for everyday use.:D

HTC Blackstone.

no reply ehh. Seems the statement is correct. Shame. :(

Patches are always welcome.

Not sure what type of response you were expecting - there's never been, and unfortunately there probably never will be a real dev for Blackstone.

If you have a Sensation, I'm not sure what your concern is. This is a very old device.

    Hey folks,

    This is a completely new build, with all the new changes baked in. We wanted to do a semi-official test release to collect bugs and hopefully do a formal official release with everything settled. The main pain point is the CSV files (see pre-install prep).

    So a brief overview:

    • New acoustic routing code baked in. Should fix most if not all audio routing problems, and will provide more debugging if stuff does go wrong. Also allows for more granular tweaking, see the CSV files.
    • GPS fixes for GB - GPS not only works in GB now, but it doesn't kill sleep! I was able to use GPS, get a solid lock, and put the device to sleep no problem.
    • BT should work & well with the new acoustic code. Post results.
    • RHOD users now have a choice of kernels. .35+ all have the new acoustic - so .35, .39, 3.0 and 3.1 are all fair game now... This is bundled with .27!!
    • Keep in mind, autobuild .27 kernels will produce no audio in this build... Obviously the bundled kernel will work, and the absolute newest .27 autobuild kernel does work now - Feb.27 2012 or newer.
    • rootfs tweaks - first, it will detect which kernel you're on (.27 or .35+) and automatically apply the correct firmware. Second, is it will always copy/extract the modules... failures there were getting annoying, and this is surefire if brute-force...
    • Few Easter egg apk's...
    • Probably a lot I'm forgetting, this might change ;)

    Pre-Install Prep REQUIRED!!!

    This step is crucial, and I forgot all about it! You must copy all of the *.CSV file from your WinMo ROM - these are in the \Windows\ directory. There's a very easy way to do this. It involves the Total Commander app for WinMo (Direct Link for the perpetually lazy...) (included in EnergyROM and others probably).

    Now you're in Total Commander looking at your \Windows\ directory. Whew... lots of files. Fear not! Hit the "CTRL" button, then the green "Plus" button. This opens the Select/Unselect files dialog. Put in *.csv, press "select" and voila. All CSV files are selected. Now - File -> Copy/Move -> I want you to copy these (should be 10) files to the ROOT of your SD card. No folders!!! This is hardset right now, until we get it all implemented into the build properly. Thanks!

    Install

    Assuming you've done the pre-install prep; this is installed just like the other XDAndroid builds - grab your startup.txt (don't forget rel_path= if you don't have it at the root of the SD!), ts-calibration and boot!

    Sorry. [...] :eek: I thought you are having trouble with this phone development, just tried to help. It will never happen again...

    Still don't get how you talking about selling the phone cheaply helps with development.

    Any developer is welcome to join... the project on the Blackstone front never really had a developer. A few came and went, but very few... none stayed long either.

    So if you want to help, by all means. If you're just going to talk about selling your phone go elsewhere - these types of posts have NO business in a development forum.

    This is useless to buggy for daily use ...
    only a full rom and nand will work not this crapy and buggy versions
    no hope htc hd will never run android native
    HTC HD is dead no hope and no future
    only if the can make a full port and run Android native

    thanks any way

    Either make one, or STFU. Eternally posting this doesn't help anyone. Really getting tired of seeing this exact same post from you over and over and over...

    Caveats:

    • Audio stutters every 10sec. The only fix I've heard is using a kernel from G3rmo (unfortunately it is old), or
      Code:
      su
      kill -9 28
      Which kills the [battery] process. I'm sure this will have negative effects on the battery meter/battery life...
    • SD Card not working...? "Waiting for SD Card" appearing on boot...? Try putting this command in your startup.txt
      Code:
      msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000 msmsdcc_nopwrsave
      See gummbah30's post reminding us of these commands.
    • SD Card has partitions? (If you used a non-XDAndroid build the answer is YES) Then you need to add "no_partitions" to your startup.txt. Between the quotes on the set cmdline line. Do not put it on its own line, it goes in between the quotes! Make sure there is one space between each item.
    • BT might still be flaky
    • The CSV files from my BLAC100 are attached for the lazy. I'd like to gather CSV's from each RHOD, I'm curious if any ROM devs have changed them out either... This could get interesting. If you folks don't mind, post up your CSV's, point out differences with mine, etc... We're trying to figure out how to unify these, if possible! Thanks!
    • Keyboard tiny/unusable? Either change the IME (long press on the input box) Get rid of it! I've heard "Hackers Keyboard" is a good alternative - many options. There's also "Better Keyboard", Swype, etc... Side load the APK using AndroidApps, adb install, etc.
    Please post back any issues, enjoy!

    Any updates? RIP Xdandroid.

    RIP?

    Nothing tangible. No devs for BLAC either, as I've stated 1,000x.

    Patches welcome, haven't seen any (that are actually useful, lol).
