[Q] Android for Blackstone - Complete and Working Packages for Download

[poketix]

Dear Android experts and users,
I'm aware this attempt has been made for a few times. Still I'd like to give it yet another try. The information published in this area is greatly useful and comprehensive. However one trying just to start working with Android on Blackstone device immediately finds himself or herself totally confused by the myriads of the links, options and suggestions.
Please upload and publish here your complete and proved working Android packages. Let other less experienced users to simply download and enjoy your polished and working solutions.
Many thanks in advance.
Poketix.

TP2 forum with complete Gingerbread 2.3 bundle ALPHA STATE.

Just follow the instructions to use the correct startup.txt. You'll also need my ts-calibration, which I posted in one or two threads in this forum, don't use the ones in above threads.

And last, go to the kernel and rootfs autobuild sites to get latest ones (at this time, no difference between the ones in the threads and in the autobuild):

Kernel autobuild

Rootfs autobuild

Interesting reference site

XDAndroid wiki (somewhat outdated)

For blackstone users cam is definately working on FRX05..

but for Cherry Pie Build v3 not yet.. but one of these days it will!

cherry pie build is faster and more stable than FRX05 for blackstone.. could be different on other phones!

As I only use XDAndroid builds I only post about them. If you want to give directions to others, feel free.

With a few tweaks, fixes and workarounds it works pretty well.
I only use WinMo when i want to put something on the sd.

Not even then... I use ES file explorer and use wifi to access my computer files XD


Bad news though... I made the mistake of breaking a boot and my data.img got corrupted Been using WM until I can extract apps from old data and insert them in a new one (a little experiment).

Update about my little testing:

I gave up XD The problem is that I don't have a permanent linux installation anymore (a big mistake on my side), so it's difficult to work with ext2 images.

A USB live distro is good for little things, but not to create a stable testing environment

Luckily I had a recent backup with titanium.

Failed in GB, I tried the FRX05. But it has the same problem as GB:

1. dialer response is slow. Pressing a digit takes 4 seconds to be displayed.
2. Dial from xdandroid, connection ok but no voice from mic and speaker.
3. Dial to xdandroid, connection also ok, voice can be received but mic is dead.

Any idea why? How can I troubleshoot them?

FRX05_Full_Bundle_3.3.2011 is definitely working on my HTC Touch HD, including camera, wifi, BT and all. The only issues that remain and I noticed are 1. some minor stuttering of sound while playing music or video, 2. USB mass storage connection requires installation disk on my Vista 64 Ultimate and does not work therefore.
Any suggestions?

you can pair devices in Bluetooon when no sound appears when pairing headphone

 

[pohunek]

That was not the issue I asked about. No problem with the headphones in this build either ...

USB mass storage is a known issue, but there are some tips and tricks mentioned in this thread earlier.
As for the audio, are you using g3rm0's 1277 kernel?

BTW guys, StineBD released a new system.ext2: FRX06

Gingerbread new test image is available as well: here

List of fixes from stinebd's blog:

• Further tuned keyboard sizing to be useful on VGA (also made the key labels bigger)
• World-phone settings support (very important for future RIL enhancements especially on CDMA)
• Enabled HSPA icon (someone on GSM please let me know if it actually works)
