Downloads
BASE PACKAGE: http://htcandroid.xland.cz/XDANDROID.6.01.10.7z
THIS BUILD DOESN'T NOT FULLY INCORPORATE ALL LATEST COMMITS FROM GIT. I CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH!!!!! THIS PACKAGE IS CUSTOM AND SHOULD NOT BE MODIFIED AT ALL IF YOU WANT IT TO WORK. DONT ADD ANYTHING BESIDES ANDROID APPS!!!! DO NOT UPDATE THE ZIMAGE OR MODULES OR YOU WILL FIND MIC DOES NOT WORK. ENJOY THE RELEASE

NEW*: System update: http://htcandroid.xland.cz/system-accelloremeter&smsfix.sqsh
SIMPLY RENAME TO system.sqsh AND OVERWRITE THE EXISTING system.sqsh AND THAT IS IT. THERE IS NO NEED TO DELETE DATA.IMG UNLESS YOU WANT TO.

My test:

Material - All from post 1 + old calibration file + zimage from 18th Dec 2009

Run haret with my wm6.5 with PHONE ON, BT OFF, Wireless OFF, Data OFF. So, gsm was actualy working when i run haret from my wm6.5

Boot was normal and android boot himself in OFFLINE mode. I didn't understand why because phone was on in wm6.5.

I tried to turn on Wlan and it tried to initialize but then it didnt.

When i tried to disable airplane mode, it crashed as expected.

BTW, why dont we try to add wifi.mac=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx to startup.txt?

Thanks!

Great to find someone to test.

I don't think adding wifi.mac will work, I will test it though.
Something with Radio itself is preventing Eclair from booting, thats why we need to run haret in airplane on mode.

Currently, testing n searching to have phone working on Eclair.

Any way to make android log/debug all the stuff so we can later see what made the crash?

Thanks

Seems to be a software/hardware conflict or incompatibility issue.
I'm working to find a solution to fix "Radio" in the meantime.

Clues would help

I guess, since osamaa started the phone with (radio off) option, which is required by the android build. And it is stored as setting in data.img. so others, without rebuilding data.img will be able to boot without setting radio off in winmo.

Yeah you're right.

The reason why the radio should remain off in the meantime is that the device freezes at startup, as mentioned earlier. You can't run haret with a blank data.img now. we should first find out what exactly causes the hang.

I'm looking into rootfs.img now. you guys can help by trying different ones and giving feedback.

No, you can only launch it from the SD card using Haret to boot Android over Winmo (Which is installed in the internal memory).

which server ?

UPDATE:

babijoee made it up, RADIO IS WORKING NOW.

So the problem as he described is:

babijoee said:

The reason for freeze


Something in the Android build is telling it to use CDMA networks, so when it loads the radio and connects to the GSM network it freezes. I have used the latest diam500 zImage which is meant for CDMA and Android runs perfectly without even using my data.img. Although there is no CDMA networks where i live so i cannot connect to anything. Perhaps someone with a CDMA device can confirm this. I'm going to do some research on how to switch to GSM. If anyone already knows how to do this, be my guest and share your knowledge

nvm i fixed this and now its working

I will test it first on Blackstone then post a release for you guys to test (Or to call your friends telling them guess what I'm using Android 2.0.1 on my HD)

Keep Following.
