I didn't even try this it with another phone, but when you turn it on, it will automatically turn off, so it shouldn't work, I guess.

Well then you either a) had it on in WinMo before booting Android or b) have an app bashing heads with it like Pandora.

I don't know if BT will ever be stable, but from what I gather it doesn't work so great in WinMo either, so our BT chips could just be crap. Thank you Broadcom & HTC...

NOw that I think... You got that right :D
This phone was expensive, that's a shame...

I made a call and I was able to talk at the first try, so no need to make the "first call", which happens in other builds.
About youtube, it worked in the browser, but same problem as FRX07.1, only sound, no video and even if I close the app, it still plays the sound in the background...
I formatted my SD card with the windows default tool and trough USB, maybe the problem is there?
My sd card port on the PC is broken... but I can ask other people to format it on their PC´s:eek:

And my blackstone fainted :p
It's corrupted, not even a single application works!
I'lll just reinstall...

Perhaps your SD card is bad? The fact that you have so much "corruption" is disturbing. Are you rebooting or pulling the battery? Are you rebooting frequently? I left my phone up and running for weeks on end, I don't know what to tell you...

Android could just be abysmal on Blackstone because we haven't had a single dev with one in a very long time. Not many have contributed either, so it is difficult to support. RAPH is not in a very good state either, unfortunately. Would be nice to wind projects down with 100% functional stuff across all devices, but I doubt that's going to happen... TP2 is getting quite close tho, perhaps you should just buy one of those :p.

I reboot a lot of times...
Lol, I won't buy a wm to make it android :p (only if really cheap :D)
Will see used phones in my country xD
Lol htc touch hd 80€ xD
WOW! htc hd2 65€ with box LOL
Men, I can support the blackstone development, but I don't know nothing linux and kernels, and so on...
What about nokia N73 SD card? 2 GB but I don't know the class (it's not written there)

You tube LQ works and cam with Ice bread, Black-Ice and Midnights bundle. GBXOB is very buggy without modifications to the base. Midnights bundle with his new acoustic kernel is awesome, way better than the bundle here. I'm not knocking the base but no one here is working on it.:thumbdown:
Fagyi has now successfully booted nand for Blackstone and is working very hard with data and wifi.:). If you want a more up to date experience try one or all of the above. Good luck.:D

Probably just a libstagefright issue. Thanks for the tip, I don't care about the kangers. They will kang no matter what we do... Fagyi is just kanging ACL's work, and well... everyone else just kangs everyone else's work lol. But you should know, those folk would be nowhere without XDAndroid. Thanks again ;).

Credit where credit is due. Fagyi has given credit to ACL and Xda. Personally I only use my Blackstone now for testing different builds that I modify, just a bit of fun now. ;)

Tell me more about those builds, so I'll add them on the info thread of the most recent builds(links and so on...)
Remember, no warez ;)

Hi,
It seems good testing build.
I'm new to XDAndroid ROMs on my HTC HD ( Blackstone ).

Is it stable build to depend on?
or use FRX07.1 until the testing one get modified to better?

And arabic keyboard to write SMS?
and what about Arabic support to read Arabic web pages or SMS, or even as main language for the whale system?

BRGRDS.

FRX is probably better to start with. Once you get the hang of the layout and how things work, then try GBX0B.

Arabic keyboard isn't really an XDAndroid issue, it's an Android issue.

Good luck, not sure if that will apply to our junk cleanly (or at all).

Have a look at the images in this thread please.
It supports Arabic, JUST for HTC HD2 !

Now i work with FRX07, its good, but i'm looking for the newer.

    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).
