First of all, it was very easy to get it working on Diamond. It is the fastest Android ever working on my Diamond. It version 1.6 ! But I think it's better because it is faster.
Still not working:
Camera
GPS ?
For a better Homescreen download PandaHome. With that tool you can download themes for Android and you can change the Lockscreen.
Also you can download OpenHome Lite, which runs much faster I experienced !
I think the battery is still a problem, because after a few ours it is empty if you are working much on your phone. Also Android says very early that your battery is empty.
The whole Android market should work!
If sound doesn't work on first boot, reboot! Then it should work.
1. Step:
Download Myn's Warm Donut for Vogue from here (The SQSH package)
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619980
Direct Download Link:
http://www.mediafire.com/?oitjoljxquj
Download the latest Zimage Kernel from here :
Without debugging (faster):
balsat.hopto.org/
Alternative, with debugging:
glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android
Download the latest RootFS from here:
http://xdandroid.southcape.org/rootfs/
Download the latest Innitrd from here:
xdandroid.southcape.org/initramfs/
Download the Startup.txt from the Attachment!!!!
The "Startup battery fake.txt" disables the 15% battery message, because the phone now only shows "battery is loading"!
Install it like the normal startup.txt and rename it as "Startup.txt"!!
2. Step
Extract all packages!
3.Step
Open the Folder of Myn's Diamond Rom and delete the following things:
INITRD.GZ
Rootfs.image
zImage
DEFAULT.txt
DEFAULT 240x320.txt
4.Step
- Copy the file from the latest INITRD to Myn's Rom folder. Rename it to INITRD.GZ.
- Open the LatestLinux folder, your zImage Kernel, and extract the .tar file. Then copy both extracted files to the Rom folder
- Now copy the file from the rootfs folder to the rom and rename it as rootfs.img
- Now copy the Startup.txt from the attachment the Rom Folder
5.Step
Copy all files of the Rom folder to the fresh formated ! storage of your Diamond.
6.Step
Start Haret.exe on your Diamond
Then Android will boot!
is this booted via haret??
and didnt we get alreayd donut 1.6??
yes it is booted via Haret.
There are some 1.6, but not as stable and fast as this one.
mediafire link for sqsh is not working!
Thank you sooo much for this build...for putting it together!!
Any idea if we can use those awesome themes on that page?? n is the resolution 640x480??
I dont know why media fire doesn't work. Now the link is correct, maybe it is working tomorrow again..I'll see.
Today Screen:
I don't know how, but i am working on it. Installation with NoMoRootfs is not working for me, maybe someone can try it?
There you have to copy the theme "androidupdate.tar" into a folder name andboot, then start android while you put down the volume up button, maybe for Diamond the button is another one? I don't know.
Theres someting called "MetaMorph" which manages themes, but it was also not working for me.
The only way i know to change the themes is to use "PandaHome"
testing
im gonna test it now and report.
PS: you can use openhome too. its a really cool program for themes.
oke i tested it:
The build is superfast i must admit.
but u seriously must fix the battery problem.. is that so hard??
i was just on the browser for 15 minutes and from 92% it went to 69%.
if you can fix that problem i will be soooo happy and the android will be completed for me...
WELDONE!
Thank you.
it is not perfect but worse to try.
WELDONE my friend WELDONE!
yepp, the fastest android on our diamonds, with it's already well knows problems: no camera and gps. By the way: how do u set the operator (3g, edge) internet options? Caz i have internet in windows mobile, which is not the case when i boot into the android via haret. In the options i didn't find anything useful to set it. Anyone?
THX man this IS the most fast rom available and i like it... but when i try to sync my google account with WIFI (WPA or no security) it fails.... it says something about not a good connection or sim data..... i CAN go to browser and browse the web though ?!
I had the same problem . Try a restart of you WiFi . For me that was the solution.
Wow thats really nice...
Had anyone tried to use one of the newer Kernels from the glemson autobuild page here:
glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android
Don't really know whats the differences between the kernel site in the first post and this one except that there are newer ones!?
So i think this version is a good candidate to run as a normal OS on my Diamond.
Greetz
restart of the wifi, like turning it off and on again... that didnt work.
Still got the same error.... can't get an reliable connection... bla bla... someone...
Wifi is the only way for me to sync and i really like the build so far
hm. that sounds strange. For me sync worked after it. I think restarts etc..maybe work?
Kernel
The link you wrote is also right, but the kernel i linked to is without debugging and because of that it is said to be faster.
Maybe the kernel with debugging solves some problems? Maybe the sync problem? Anyone can try it?

Had also no syncing probs...
Im trying the other Kernel right now...
Do you use Android for usual Day-Work? How long is your battery-life with normal use?
Anyone knows if theres a way to disable the annoying Battery Message with 15%? I think the indicator is not right and the bat can hold on longer...
Greetz
Okay tried it with the new Kernel. And your right. The one you mentioned in your first post is definitly faster and offers also less problems...
So my Android is running nice. Some minor improvements in Speed, the GPS-Module and more Battery life and i can wait another half year before buy a HTC Desire ;-)
How are the chances that GPS will work in next Kernel-Releases?
Ade
It's a nice built,and fast,but wi-fi doesn't work,and no home fullscreen,i will apreciate a little help from you,thanks!!!

So whats your Diamond Type? Diam100, Diam300, Diam500
There are slightly differences in these types. Mine is a Diam300 and everything is working fine...
You can check this by pressing the Vol down - Button during boot, i think... (Not sure)
And also please explain your prob a little more. So what happens if you wanna activate your WLAN in the Settings?
Greetz
The battery problem of 15 % is solved with the new startup.txt i uploaded .
GPS:
I really dont know.

Hi, yesterday i was trying to launch android on my BA and i DID IT!
It works like ****:
Touchscreen doesn't work (you can activate list scrolling by pushing it on the side)
Some buttons don't work
No sound
Navigation:
D-pad (left, right, up, down)
Enter (on the keyboard, since D-Pad center doesn't work)
!WARNING! there is no end call and back buttons, you can't exit applications
How to? Here is the tutorial:
Create a folder on your memory card
Get the latest HaRET from here http://handhelds.org/~koconnor/haret/
Get the latest zImage from here http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unstable/autobuild/htcblueangel/
(i use zImage-2.6.21-hh20-r16-htcblueangel.bin)
Rename it to zImage
Put that default.txt
Code:
set kernel zImage
set initrd "initrd-android.gz"
set CMDLINE "rootdelay=3 root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size=23504 init=/linuxrc"
boot
Now you need the system - Android
Get that: http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/initrd-android
Don't forget to rename it to initrd-android.gz
I've got it from here http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/
it stays in jumping to kernel... i followd the steps above, did you copy pasted the command correctly??

Just launch Haret.exe
Speed... hm... Almost like WM6
a lot slower than wm6 the android image should be tweaked in order to have proper drivers for touchscreen keys and sound
wow...very cool, I'll be looking for updates (if there are any)
hi friends,
i tested android and seems a good toy
i did make a rar with all files needed, you need only to extract to SD and run haret
Code:
http://rapidshare.com/files/147524450/android.rar.html
i'm really interested to go further on android.
about my tests, i can conclude two things:
- D-pad works, but not very well
- Touch screen is not working, but i know it detect moves on it
(try to dpad a icon, then touch the touch-screen, you ll see)
I'm not a expert on pocket pc, but i have my skills.
I found an other thing, hardware specification.
Code:
http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/BlueAngelHardware
if the information is right, the touchscreen is from the same family that the vogue one.
To continue this adventure, i need some lights. I know we have a developer from the kernel/Opie/GPE in this forum. If you are him, i need some lights about your work.
The other thing, i'll try to do is asking help to vogue/kaiser android project, to give me some lights how they touchscreen work.
The last thing. All the help is appreciated, everybody is invited in this project and all the help is welcome. And i really need it lol
udapte (23/9/2008)
Well i talk do vogue android project man, and the answer from him is simple. His work was only to port kernel to vogue platform. I will have to find who made the one we are using.
The touchscreen is detected, but somehow it doesn't work.
i have failed .
my BA get a FlashDIsk and ramdisk in WM6 enrironment..
when i run haret ....
after jumping to kernal
an error occur
can't mount SDcard .it's halt..
why...
How about your work? I'm working on this task also. Need more information to make it working. Could you give me some patches for BA's kernel.
Also the SC Card Message, any adivice o workaround?
w0w...
it runs on my BA. Great!
However I cant do anything inside. But thanks to all of you that make this possible.
I'm waiting for the next release, hope it will run faster, and all get better.
Thanks.
Is anything happening with this?
Any news?
Is vogue version working? I have try to build a kernel for BA but false to boot
Will try and report later....
kernel
I have A LOT of, like everything I could find, files to load linux on the Blue Angel. Angstrom, Familiar, QT...somethingsomething... Anyway, it works well except the wireless which I think should work until the thing goes into standby. Would the zImage/initrid files or any of the others help? I'd like to help ya get this working, I think most of the works been done. I must say, however, I am just learning about how this stuff works. I can't code, but I have a BA, lots of experience repairing hardware like ppcs and I really would love the chance to finally give back to this wonderful community after they've given me so much.
It would be great to get this working. It would give my pda2k a whole new lease on life.
any updates on this?
Thanks
so, any news? android would be quite nice.
i concur. i'd liketo see a android on the blueangel, why isnt there one? linux runs fine on it, theres an older android that supposidly boots on it.
cmon somebody make the damn thing work.
Over the Rafael Forums, babijoee is having a great testing process of Android 2.0.1 on Rafael which also works on Blackstone with some modifications, BIG THANKS to him.
So, here we will get Android 2.0.1 to work on our lovely Blackstone (HTC HD).

Currently writing FAQ. Will include some very useful stuff for all.
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

I am boot haret with phone on (wifi,bt,data off) but not freez. Freez only after when iam try to disable airoplane mod. Iam cant wait for next release /SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH (CZ)/

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.
do you need to laungh it trow sd cart?
isn't there a possible to laungh it form the memmory of the phone?
thx

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).
so ant updated zimage to test. good luck with the project. join us on #htc-linux channel on irc. together is power and sharing is caring.

However, in my case, i started haret with phone ON and when it went to android, android himself turn to airplane mode.

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

What is the problem to "flash" Android on the internal ROM ?
I mean, when i press the On Button on the phone, it starts a "Bootloader".. this starts windows mobile.
Why should it not possible to tell the bootloader to start direkt Android?
Great work guys!!! it seems to be working pretty well...not yet as good as 1.6 by phh but it's on the way...and it could be even better...really better...
Android 2.0.1 is great...
keep on this way!!!

If you use HTC Fuze download FUZE Startup rename it to "startup" and copy it to andboot folder.
For Updating this Android u should use an application called MJGDroidUtil in ANDBOOT folder.
Click on/Open MJGDroidUtil -> Click Menu -> Update -> check the checkboxes -> click Update
Further Development Cancelled but update tool will be working
Wifi working? and HTC Sense not to big like one the Klinux build?
Yeah WiFi works for me, and the sense is usuable
I think this is Klinux, just bootscreen says it
Well if this is Klinux build it's working out of the box for me on VGA
And we already have a thread here for Klinux builds

thanks for your reply. but i still cant get this to work on my att fuze.
this is what im doing.
1) format card
2) extract downloaded file onto computer desktop
3) copy everything from the andboot file into root
4) replace the STARTUP.txt with ur startup_fuze from page1
5) put card into device
6) start up
I keep getting this loop at the boot screen of klinux:hTc
I can't go pass that!! ARGH!
The funny thing is that all these problems can be solved by reading to my thread and klinux's thread..
Indeed, I think it's better to just close this thread and not add to the confusion of the already growing number of android threads.
Ok guys
Sorry that i want to share something
Haha, good job, I am using Raphael 100 as well.
Please keep going
but my phone every time I wake it, the brightness always very low. Is there any solution? I already turn off the auto brightness.

I'm not trying to bash you or anything and as always any work done to improve android on our devices is highly appreciated. Only thing going on here is that we can't really see the difference with the other packages.
Could you perhaps clarify that for us?

@frank007hk brightness. I haven't got this problem. Just try to chane some settings. but if u turn off the auto brightness in WinMob, there will be something just in Android's settings
So Stop this thread. There is a lot of ports for android, u can try them

The screenshots are not important. This is not a theme!
You can install a theme from here, for example if you like.
The theme it comes with is the:
Go Louncher Classical Theme (The new version of it)
The software installed is also not important, because you can remove it.
Google Market is installed, and you can install what ever you like, just like on your computer.
https://market.android.com
This is the actual Android Froyo operating system for the HTC Kaiser
So, stop asking me for screenshots and software installed, it's not relevant.
And the how to install guide is been posted here
Bug reports are welcome, other then that, I don't wont to hear from you.
Don't post a thank you either, there is a bottom for that, and you can also vote on the poll up there, but install and test it first!
Again Bug reports only, please!
I been working on this for 3 days straight, and figure I'll share what I got.
Everything seems to be working, except the camera is blurry, but that seams to be the norm.
Included is the rom, radio and kernel
ROM: 2.2.1
Kernel: 2.6.25
Radio: KAISER 1.70.19.09
Panel: 2
Key Map: US Normal
Resolution: 240x320
Storage: Nand & Nand
Most everything is installed in userspace and can be uninstalled or upgraded.
Oh got GO Launcher EX installed (Also in user space)

Can you write something more about this? Is this your system and kernel(compiled yourself)? Any changes?

That sounds like a trick question.
Yes, at first I compiled everything my self but then to resolve bugs, I looked at other systems and basically stole stuff from them to fix my bugs. In other words, I can't take all the credit, it was a community effort.

I removed most everything from the system and installed it in user space. So the system is very lean. You can uninstall what you don't like.
how is the rom？just waiting to see
gruessle ...!! thanks for your efforts in getting this done... I been looking from long time to install Android on my HTC TyTN II. However i was not able to get the proper build...
can you share the screenshots of the build which you provided as well some steps at high level on installing this..
Thanks in advance.
Please, I don't really understand how to go upgrade this. I find it hard to do. Is everything needed packaged in this download, or please can u list things needed to change to android. I'll appreciate your response.

The screenshots are not important.
This is not a theme.
You can install a theme from here, for example if you like:
http://golauncher.goforandroid.com/category/themes/
The theme it comes with is the:
Go Louncher Classical Theme (The new version of it)
The software installed is also not important, because you can remove it.
Google Market is installed, and you can install what ever you like, just like on your computer.

This is the actual android froyo operating system.
Anyone else having trouble getting the kernel to install?
I get to 33% and the phone reboots...
Radio installed fine even though I was already using 1.70.19.09, just to be sure I installed everything in the package.
Installed HardSPL 3.34 and a WinMo 6.1 rom (custom) to see whats wrong. Installed L1q1d's kernel and goes right in like it should.
Checked .NBH with NBHCreator and only found 1 thing wrong: kernel set to Eclair instead of Froyo. Changed to Froyo and saved, attempted reflash and still won't go in...
;(Losted);
I also tried to install this kernel but I can't. Flashing in hardspl after few second give folowing error:
00018003
Os Fail
Update Terminate
UPDATE Fail.
Changing parameters in atools not helping. Every another kernel is flashing without problems so it's not phone fault
Gruessle, thanks for your efforts! I want to try your rom but being a noob waiting for more comprehensive list of known errors before flashing it to my kaiser.
Ok, quick "bug report":
After working with the kernel pack multiple times I have come to the conclusion that there might be a bug in the actual kernel file itself, throwing a code back to HardSPL and RUU (how I install).
I first noticed a problem in that the kernel was originally set up for a Polaris and had no resolution set. The size of the file should be unimportant as Scoot's newer kernel is in the order of 3.2-3.3MB in size (with the RIL patch installed it gets even larger), this one is 3,099KB, and l1q1d's is almost always 3,092KB.
The second issue I noticed is with the Froyo package itself... It's split up into many files (open the package in 7zip and you'll see what I mean). Normally, the packer has the files all listed inside the .tgz file, this one has the files inside many other files.
I have thus not installed the system on either phone because (correct me if I'm wrong), the kernel contains the basic directories for where everything is installed, and if I were to try and install this package on say, l1q1d's kernel, the phone would most likely crash because the files would not be found, including /system.
If ANYONE wants to dig deeper into this problem, feel free to message me. Personally, I think we've about finished getting all we can from the Kaiser, and much respect goes out to those who have done all the work in the past, but there's always that glimmer of hope that someone will find a way to pack this into a working rom installable through RUU or HardSPL.
I have one last thing to say:
Gruessle, please do your homework BEFORE posting things like this. There are people out there who still depend on this phone to operate as it is their only phone. I Personally cannot afford to go spend $100-200 on a replacement phone if this one goes down (thats why I have 2 of them). If you post something that does not work on the platform that you say it will, please correct it or move it to the proper forum.
BTW, I call shenannegans on one of the 5-star votes... just sayin'.
Your kernel have fake ;/ . rom works great ;D
sorry for bad english;p

1) The kernel doesn't care where you place the files. Right now I use a debian system with Ferora and Gentoo in a chroot. Both work fine with the Debian kernel.
In other words, if you have a kernel that works for you then use that it should work with the rest of the installation.
2) I don't get what you mean with files are "split up into many files", I am just guessing but you must be extracting it wrong. Maybe it's a windows thing, I haven't used windows in 15 years so I wouldn't be able to help you with that.
3) I have included everything you need to duplicate what I got, which works for me, and it appears to work for others too. Now i don't use that phone much, and there might be bugs I am unaware of, but don't tell me it doesn't work at all, just because you can't get it to work.

barmalini, it appears that a few people have trouble installing the Kernel, but the ROM seams to work for everybody as far as I can tell.
According to my server records the files have been downloaded over 200 times and I have yet to hear a complain about the ROM.
So I would say try to install the Kernel, but if you can't still use the ROM with a Kernel that works for you.
If you have trouble installing from windows you can also try a live CD from debian or knoppix. I installed everything from a Debian system. (Knoppix is based on Debian)
If you don't know what a live CD is then go here for info:

PoXFreak,
you are not the only one having trouble, installing the ROM it appears.
I am wondering, are you also using Microsoft Windows to install the ROM?
If so can you try again with Linux, because it worked fine for me.
If you don't have Linux you can use a Live CD
Also if you can't get it to work, try the ROM with a Kernel that works for you.
Please report, I will check back.
hey guys, i wanna know if it's possible to install this android rom on our diamond
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288765
it's an android rom for the x1...by using the cwm rcovery method available on the neopeek page..
i just wanna know if it's possible n have any of use tried it...~
thanks in advance...^_^
I'll try and let you know
hi
did you had time to try?
Hi RootShadowLT.
It works on my Touch Pro, but the screen is upside down but the movement and stylus are not.
I think they cooked in X1 drivers because the X1 hardware faces upside down in Android compared to the HTC devices..
I can't correct it. I tried to change startup.txt and kernel, but no succes.
Simply use libsurfaceflinger.so from a non x1 rom
Place it in /system/lib
Doesn't work. Already tried that. I managed to start another X1 rom with a normal screen doing the following actions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18498923&postcount=211
It might work on a Diamond too if you alter the startup.txt to a diamond version.
It might work on this X1 version too.

When I had a diamond,this worked flawlessly,now for the opposite works too
I might have used a wrong libsurfaceflinger.so. Can you post a right one that worked for you?
Now I have an x1,so all the ones i have are for x1,sorry can't help you..
hi guys.>~thanks for the reply..(n testing the rom itself HTC0017, honestly, i was surprised u tried it urself to make sure)
i'll try it for myself n see how it will play for me...
I tried version 4 and it worked.
1 Take npkboot-cwm19.zip and unzip in storage card\npkboot
2 Put attached kernel files in npkboot
4 Put ARCDroid GAPPS.zip + ARCDroid V4.zip in npkboot
3 modify my startup from Touch Pro to Diamond or copy your own working startup.txt and calibration file.
4 IMPORTANT: Delete line ro.sf.hwrotation=180 from build.prop (ARCDroid V4.zip:\system) to prevent upside down screen
5 Run Haret - volume down for CWM recovery - whipe data - install zip from SD - and follow install procedure from the ARCDROID thread.
issues:
Camera not working
Context menu not perfect
Sensedroid 8 from X1 thread works the same way.
Context menu and camera works fine with my Touch Pro.
For now only Wifi/wireless tether does not work with this rom.
THANKS~~!!!
it worked for me..~!
first time i booted it..yea the same upside down screen..but then i tried ur method just now n it worked like charm..thanks a lotz~
OMG~! this rom is very2 cool.. i loves the menu n ui..although a little bit slow on diamond...(TT_TT).....i'll try more into the rom n see what else will do...thanks man..
