I just updated my at&t 8525 and well i got the i guess official rom its kinda laggy on my phone which is alright but ive uploaded some programs on it and i got my sms threaded which im loving just wondering what would be a good rom for it and would it be the same affect as me updating the official one so i dont brick my phone and mess it up cause there too much to be getting a new one thanks in advance for any help
If you want one that is simple, safe, and made for at&t, you should go with VP3Gs last rom. Its nice, and stable.
Holy Repeat Noob thread openers batman
Jeez how many of these threads are we gonna see? Someone should count them and keep track for the noobs!
Ya, and its always people with the 8525 lol.
I would use Binkys or MRH if I were you, thats what I use on my 8525. But in reality with SPB Mobile Shell you can use almost any ROM which is what im doing now.

I ran his roms for about a year.
While they are VERY good roms, if you're up for manually inputting Data, SMS settins, and tweaking a few other things, the new 6.1 roms FLY.
I am using this one:

And it is damn fast.
sorry
yes guys i am a noob i just would like to get my 8525 goin good for me im sorry for the stupid noob ? but i just feel that the official rom does not perform that great. can anyone tell me where to download these roms at
We were all noobs at one time. You need to read this first:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299462
It explains everything you need to know to flash ROM's. Then you will need to flash many different ROM's and see which one has what you want. No ROM is the same, and everybody wants something a little different.
Hmmm

I havent tried the new ROM that he just posted but I flashed his rom on the 17th of June and it was SLOOOOW... I mean really slow - boot menu etc and it also sucked the battery down fast w.o WIFI and BT on. Really buggy for me. So, I switched back to a Schaps win 6.0 Rom - stable for now. But if you say this new one works pretty good and is stable, I will give it another shot.
Also, I cannot find out how to fix my QUERTY effin Keyboard. The blue buttons are all effed up - i.e. @ is ? etc... I have seen people talk about this encounter, but I do not know how to fix it. Has this happened to you at all? If so, do you know how to fix it?
so if i get one of these other roms i gotta flash it is there not any already on here made for the 8525 thats already flashed for cingular i mean im not getting this

I'm running his version in my signature and it is fantastic.
With his rom there is a utility that lets you change the keyboard settings. It's called Advanced Config or something like that.

Everyone was a noob sometime .. does it mean we shouldnt help?
I cant talk for AT&T but I use CRC v11 .. very good
Remember most importantly step 1 is to use HARDSPL V7 this will prevent your mobile phone becomming a brick. You can find details about flashing and hardspl in MRVANX's sticky at the top of this forum.
Good luck .. become an expert and give back to the community.

Schaps advanced config .. search and you will find it v2.1.0.0
so is there any unofficial roms out there that are faster and stable then then official one that is already flashed i mean what do i have to do just explain it to me i gave up a iphone for this and its alot better but iw anna make it faster
Ok
Step 1 : Read Mrvanx guide on how to HARDSPL your phone (and do it)
Step 2 : Load CRC's V11 rom
Step 3 : Enjoy
You will have to read MRvanx post
You will have to read CRC's post

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.
All,
Due to good success in the Blue Angel section, I have decided to open a Questions and Answers thread on this section of the forum as well. This will be good to keep the number of new threads with questions down to a minimum, which will make new threads essentially for people that are contributing to the Vogue in any way. This includes but is not limited to people that are providing
*New Roms and Kitchens
*Programs and Apps
*Fixes
*Skins
*Tips and Tricks
However, I have a life (and so do most of you), which is why I would like to request the help from other Seniors (or anyone who knows the answer really ) to monitor the thread as well. This will have the added side effect of creating an ever self updating knowledge base that will far extend the content of the Wiki. This will in turn save us from having to answer the same question 37000 times...
Without further ado, lets go for it!

Hi there Gents any input
Barogi awesome so far for v2; media player not staying in full screen mode though, and manila home weather under clock wont update when you push update now also getting error message for manila home on reboot
Great idea for a faq page!
I have been using a NFSfan rom on my bell vogue for a while, and it crapped out today for some reason. Rather than put another WM build on it, I wanted to change to Android.
I have looked through many pages in here, but I can't find a simple tutorial on switch from a custom WM build to a Android build. I prefer to use the NAND method so that I don't ever have to see WM again...
Can someone create or point me towards a step-by-step guide for installing Android? Keep in mind that I have absolutely no Android experience, and that my custom ROM is completely messed up, so would it make for sense to flash the a manf build and upgrade from there?
Thanks

As far as WMP, Barogi will have to look into it since it is his rom.

I have a question:
I recently flashed the Bell rom with the latest radio (I couldn't get the radio only nbh to apply properly), and then subsequently flashed with the latest NagROM rom (which is awesome btw).
Now of course, at startup i have the nice HTC screen with the rom version etc, followed by an AWFUL blue BELL screen (and then the nice orange wm6.5 screen).
Is it possible to change the blue BELL screen? And if so how?

There was a cab to change that somewhere around here in this section of the forum. Alternatively, you can flash NFSFan's rom (which will get rid of it), or you can try mine as well and then reflash Nag's rom.

Question from mac+htc
mac+htc said:
Hey everyone,
So I was running NSFANS 6.5 ROM on my device (Amazing ROM btw) But I needed to revert back to the stock rom. I used the VZW updater to go back to the stock rom and I changed the esn on line. When I dialed the *228 and choose option 1 I got a failed message. So I called customer support and he walked me through a manual programing. Well that got voice working but when I went to use the data it wouldn't work. I made sure all the network settings were right, and I still couldn't connect. Well then I hard reset the device and now I am back to square 1. No voice no data. Is this something from NSFANS rom that is messing the phone up? I don't want to call again because their tech support takes forever and I am afraid they are just going to tell me to take the phone into the store. Thanks in advance!

Why did you change the E$N? Where you using the device in a different carrier?
Back to your problem. Your EPST settings should survive a hard reset as those are parameters that are not stored in Windows (afaik). It really makes not difference which rom you are using (at least for Voice and SMS).
Lets focus on your main phone's capabilities first. If your EPST settings truly got lost, you will need to get them from Verizon again. The main ones are the MSD and MIN. Make sure that you write them down this time as you will need them again if they go bye bye.
As for your internet, you will probably need to set the correct username in the phone's programming as well (also info that you will need from Verizon, but it should be something like [email protected] or something like that)
Do that and let me know if this works. They will have to program this for you this time, but once you have the values that I mentioned before, you will be able to do it yourself.

Try to get Barogi's latest "lite" rom. Also, you can't go wrong with vin's 28014 or NFSFan's rom. I would recommend mine, but I think they might be a little heavy for what you want. Good luck.
i checked out NSFSfan. It was nice, but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much for what I want. Ill check out the other you suggested before i just flash back to stock rom

Try to avoid stock if you can... it has a bad tendency of being too heavy on the extra apps.
I checked out just SS's of both. Both look awesome, but theres something about the simple look ( or im just used to it since my 8125 ) of the stock look. I would like to have the look but the added memory of a cooked rom.
With NSFSfans, could you remove the today screen plug ins to get back to a more stock look?
Im runnin 2.1 android eclair at the moment, and im barley pulling a full day battery with no data/bluetooth. With the old winmo, I was getting 2.5 days-3days. Thats another main concern for me.

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?

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?

The battery problem of 15 % is solved with the new startup.txt i uploaded .

I really dont know.
I flashed HardSPL on my tilt 2 last year with the Energy Rom using the GTX theme. Ever since I've been noticing that android is so much easier to use and I have been reading on the android Froyo development.
What I need to know is if I have to reflash Stock Rom with SSPL to be able to Flash the Android OS to it.
I've read all the FAQs and I have not seen this question on it and am wondering if anyone can answer it for me.
I don't know if I missed it or if I was looking for the answer at the wrong place.
So can someone please give me a link to a guide on how to do it properly because I don't want to brick my phone on the process. Also tips and precautions if you got any. Thank you!
Android can't be flashed to the phone a la WinMo yet.
Devs are working on it. Works great on my CDMA RHOD, but GSM is still a mystery...
To answer your question, you would need an unlocked bootloader (hSPL) to flash any unsigned image.
Android in its current form for our devices will run on stock SPL or hSPL, it doesn't care... everything runs off the SD card.

What is an Unasigned Image and what does it do or what is it for? Thank you for your answers.
Also how fast does Froyo run on the SD card. Is it slow? Is there a program to make android to auto start instead of it having to transtion from WM to android?

Unsigned image = anything that's not a stock ROM.
FroYo runs about as well as you can expect on our hardware... which I might mention predates Android entirely... Proc+RAM dates to 2007 on the TP2. Thanks HTC...
For making Android auto-start, search is your friend. Gen.Y is your answer.
Oh nice I didnt see it was you arrgggh. Ive read you posts all day for the past 3 days. I constantly wonder how you guys know all this stuff.
Have you guys thought about video instructions or image instructions for the forum?
I also had a question concerning your device. When you flashed the Cooked Rom on your device ( i know,not the android, its not cooked ) did it change the buttons on your keyboard? Mine did and Ive been looking like crazy for a program that allows me to set the keys to what ever character I want. I did come across it a year ago, but nowadays that post is long gone. Thank you for all your help.

Video/image instructions...? A few have made videos, but stuff changes so frequently it would get outdated very quickly. A PITA to maintain... It's really not that difficult, is it?
I assume you're talking WinMo. I haven't used it in over a year - but there was some weird issue that effected only Sprint devices, and there was some cab that I installed that fixed the issue. Sorry, I'm not much help for WinMo. Ask cajunflavoredbob, I just tell people not to use it .
