for the latest build of xdandroid =]
should solve the problem
Here is the problem i have i have an HD with 6.5 when i try to put the things together from the link above it hangs at the animation screen and will not load. i have tried swapping the rootfs file the module and the zimage and it hangs. where am i going wrong? thanks
I had the same problem yesterday. No idea as to what actually fixed it. I just played around with different (older) rootfs and kernel, formatted a few times between each swap and it started working. It was totally weirdness and strangeness all wrapped into a day!

Hi,
Sorry but I'm a newbie (yes I can hear you all sigh) and I have installed Android 2.2 on my HTC Touch HD. I clicked on the Android icon in Windows programs and the phone does 2 quick vibrations boots in to Linux but freezes on "Creating a new data store".
What am I doing wrong?
Please can anyone help?
Many thanks.

What are you installing the cab. or the .zip? cab file is much easier to install imop
@R^7Z are you having any problem with lock screen can't get mine working will not lock?
Nope, no problems with the lock screen here... I finally feel like I have a stable FRX03 build! YAY! I had to do some playing around and resorting things out but I now have WiFi working and BT is running! I have yet to test it's abilities but I will be checking that out soon!

Hi,
I have the same message always. How did you format your card to a successful android install?
I tried format with flashformat, format with XP and win7 too. I tried the cab and the zip version too. I have a 256 MB Sandisc card. Is the capacity enough?
Thx th answers,
B.

I don't think that 256 MB is enough, go for a 2 or even 8gb they are so cheap on amazon. In windows XP just right click on the removable drive and choose format, don't do a quick format. Then follow the instructions to install android, preferably the cab file on to the card.
Hope this helps.

Hm, finally I changed successful my spare SD-card to a 4 GB Kingston SDHC card. But now I have the same error message as you. "Waiting for SD Card"
If I write the text as Fix2 into the startup.txt then after I start the Android with its icon in Start Menu, it will be an Unknow keyword: 'msmsdcc_1bit' message.
Any Idea?
Does the message repeat continuously?

Have you tried to format with something other than windows (fix 1)? I believe, this was a known issue to not use windows to format your microSD card for XDAndroid to work properly. I use to format mine through windows but found it just easier to deal with by using the utility mentioned in fix 1. I've never had to use fix 2, which may be required for your devices. Also, you might want to grab a more recent build, there have been some changes to this project (mentioned in THIS thread).
As always read the first few posts, re-read, search then post!
n-Joie!
Thanks for the Androidversion von the Touch HD!
But in my opinion Windows is much faster than Android on this device
You are doing something wrong mine, R^7Z and alot others have theres running fast you have to play with it and it becomes stable.

Android on your Windows Mobile HTC Device...
Supports Blackstone, Diamond, Diamond 500, Fuze, Raphael, Raphael 800, Rhodium, Tilt 2 & Topaz
This thread is dedicated to FroYo, and NOT Eclair releases!
First things first, this post is PURELY an instruction guide for noobies that aims to reflect the latest status and downloads (give or take a day).
I am not an Android developer, I do not create any of this software... this is done by far more talented people than I. This thread is purely to collate the latest info for Android on Windows Mobile HTC devices and make deploying Android on your device as simple as possible.
If you have new information that should be added to the guide (and is relevant for ALL folks) then feel free to add to the thread and I'll update the OP frequently.
These opening few posts should have ALL the latest info you need to get started (no need to trawl through the threads).
The only time you 'might' need to look in the thread is for 'breaking news' info that is no more than a day old...i.e. The Opening Post is the place!
Credits: There are too many to mention, and many are unknown, but basically the guys poring Android to our devices should be thanked, along with all those making the effort to help others test, document, or use their work (along with those who provide answers to the same questions, time and time again). These are the guys who deserve the credit. From memory...

How To Install (CAB Version)
- Step 1 - Prepare your SD Card
Find a nice clean SD card to load Android on.
You can either format your card to get it entirely clean, or you can leave all the files you may already have on there.
*Warning* - If you have valuable data on your card, back it up. Android is usually safe, but if you can't afford to lose the data on your card, don't risk it!
Some cards have difficulty working, there is a POSSIBILITY this is due to the formatting of the card. If in doubt, format to FAT32, not FAT16
- Step 2 - Download and install the CAB
Download and install the following 'full package' cab (a collection of ALL the files you'll need to run Android on your device) by clicking the XDAndroid Cab button below.
You MUST install on the Storage Card. The cab file will take a couple of minutes to install Android. Please be patient.
For those that are interested the cab files does the following:
- Installs Android in the root of the SD Card
- Deploys the correct Startup.txt for the device (the user can choose their device type)
- Adds a high res icon for Android in the root of the SD Card
- Installs a shortcut in Program Files named "Android" (launches Haret.exe)
- Installs the high res icon in the registry for WM6.5 users
- Step 3 - Run Android
Android is now installed... So launch 'Android' from your Program Files menu in WinMo. Your phone should reboot into Android with 2 quick vibrations.
Have patience... the first time you do this can take a LONG time (3 mins or more). During the first boot on SOME devices, you will be asked to calibrate the screen. This is very similar to Windows Mobile screen calibration (except it's in text mode).
The reason the first boot takes longer is that Android is 'preparing' your device for the first time.
How To Install (ZIP Version)
- Step 1 - Prepare your SD Card

- Step 2 - Download and extract the ZIP
Download and install the following 'full package' zip(a collection of ALL the files you'll need to run Android on your device) by clicking the XDAndroid zip button below.
You MUST unzip to the ROOT of the Storage Card. The zip file will take a short while to extract. Please be patient.
Once you've extracted the zip:
- Click Auto-Setup.exe to configure XDAndroid for your particular device
- Step 3 - Run Android
Android is now installed... So launch 'Android' from your Program Files menu in WinMo. Your phone should reboot into Android with 2 quick vibrations.
Have patience... the first time you do this can take a LONG time (3 mins or more). During the first boot on SOME devices, you will be asked to calibrate the screen. This is very similar to Windows Mobile screen calibration (except it's in text mode).
The reason the first boot takes longer is that Android is 'preparing' your device for the first time.
If you want to exit Android and go back to Windows Mobile, then you need to shut down / reboot. To do so with the latest Android releases, hold down the 'end call' button until you see a menu appear.
If this fails to work, then the only option is remove the battery or press the reset button.
Known Issues
Many things are still not working properly, and the developers are fully aware of 99% of them.
- SDCard - Most SDCards are working, but if you the 'waiting for SDCard' message, you should try one of these fixes (and please let us know if it works)
Fix 1: Format your card with this tool http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/
Fix 2: Edit your startup.txt file and add these entries to your cmdline:
set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmts_calib=0x395.0x3c9.0x79.0x77 clock-7x00.a11=500 msmvkeyb_toggle=off pmem.extra=1 gsensor_axis=-2,-1,3
msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000 msmsdcc_nopwrsave"
Fix 3: Tell your wife / girlfriend that you are about to make some modifications to her phone... change the ringtone and steal her old Class 2 SD Card to use with Android. She will never discover what you have done, and if she does, you'll be able to use Android to send texts to your former girlfriends ;-) - SDCard - A few users have claimed to have had trouble using their SD Cards after installing XDAndroid. Some of those have reformatted the SD Card, and it worked, some couldn't recover it. This is a minority of users, but be warned.
- Camera - Not working
- GPS - working
- Battery Status - Highly problematic for most users (don't trust the capacity Android tells you, it's simply up and down a lot, and highly inaccurate)
- WiFi - Working for most people, suspected to cause slight heat, definitely drains the battery faster than WinMo.
- Audio - Speaker working for most people, microphone can have issues
- Deep Sleep - Working for most people, but can have issues waking up (sometimes, it will not wake up)
- GPRS - Working
- 3G - Working for most
- PIN Code - Unknown
- GSensor - Working (Screen only handles 0 and 270 degrees)
- Bluetooth - Experimentally working (don't expect too much, but it's working for a number of users)
- OpenGL ES - 'should' be working but only for Blackstone... more to follow soon
- USB - Supported, but will NOT operate in mass storage mode. You can charge via USB and you can debug, but forget accessing your files by it.
- Headphone Socket - Semi working (see FAQ for details on how to make it work)
- Application Errors: It's very common to see 'Application (xxxxxx) is not responding: Force Close or Wait'. Click wait. I do not know the precise reason for this, but from what I can gather, it COULD be related to the slow speed of the SD Card causing the app response times to JUST be a little too slow for Android's liking, thus causing the message. This seems to happen more after bootup or wakeup when the device is busy doing stuff in the background.
- Cannot choose ringtones: This is believed to be caused by the media scanner failing (due to discovering some filenames with none English characters). The best option of all is to use a CLEAN SD Card. But, if you insist on hosting other files on the same SD Card, you MUST make sure they have English character filenames.
3for all those having problems with this build there are two newer builds out here they are
this is the full package
DoWnLoAD
this is the newest build
DoWnLoAd
Remember if you do the full package reformat sd card. if you are using the newest build delete data.img and modules.tar.gz and replace with new modules.tar.gz and zimage android will build a new data.img on boot2Hi,
Here is what I've done:
After Formatting to fat32 and copying the content of both zips I still needed a startup.txt for my blackstone, so I took one from the startup configs of the 2.2V1.6, but I wonder, since android freezes after a few moments, is it the right thing to do?
Here is its content, should it work with this last build?
set ramsize 0x10000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 2030
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmts_calib=0x395.0x3c9.0x79.0x77 clock-7x00.a11=528 msmvkeyb_toggle=off pmem.extra=1 gsensor_axis=-2,-1,3 msm_blackstone_pad.vibrate=1"
boot
If this is not right then what should be the best "startup.txt" for non-overclocked Blackstone ?
I've tried with the startup.txt that came with the first zip, same results.
Here is what my startup.txt looks like for those who need one the download is below just edit out the andboot out of downloaded one
set ramsize 0x10000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 2030
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmts_calib=0x395.0x3c9.0x79.0x77 clock-7x00.a11=528 msmvkeyb_toggle=off pmem.extra=1 gsensor_axis=-2,-1,3 msm_blackstone_pad.vibrate=1 lcd.density=240 msmts_calib=0x395.0x3c9.0x79.0x77 clock-7x00.a11=500 msmvkeyb_toggle=off pmem.extra=1 gsensor_axis=-2,-1,3 msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000 msmsdcc_nopwrsave"
