King Klair Hero 0.6
First and Foremost this build was ported by Mssmison and the ril(radio interface layer), and audio libraries were written by Vilord!!! im pretty sure the gps library was written by Srwalter. vilord may have helped port it to eclair. (will get back to you on that). without DZO we would still be using windows mobile "" but were not ""

UPDATE 17 Dec:
Download the new rootfs below for working WiFi! Thanks enatefox!
Download:
system.sqsh [ver 0.6.01]
Eclair-ready__rootfs.img (rename to rootfs.img, of course)
eclairhero.user.conf (goes on your SD card in /android/conf)
OR if you have a swap partition on your SD card: eclairhero-swap_partition.user.conf (goes on your SD card as /android/conf/eclairhero.user.conf)
And if you don't have them already:
zImage-15-12-09 (the latest kernel from 15 Dec)
startup.txt (My personal HaRET startup.txt)
rootfs changelog:
Copied /init.cfg/init.eclairhero.rc to /init.cfg/init.eclairhero.kaiser.rc
Copied /init.cfg/init.eclair.rc to /init.cfg/init.eclair.kaiser.rc
Altered init to check that media folder exists in /sdcard/android/media instead of /sdcard/media
Altered init to support eclair.user.conf and eclairhero.user.conf
TIPS:
You will need a fresh data partition/data.img for this build. Don't forget to back up your old one first!
Go straight to version 0.6.01 as posted above, version 0.6 gives me weird SIM errors.
This build takes FOREVER (5-10min) to boot. It goes through and even attempts to make a number of thumbnails for your images during first boot. I suggest watching it over adb so you'll know when it's settled and ready for input.
The HTC widgets are not working with this build.
TaskKiller is an absolute must, like other Hero builds this one loves to keep apps open.
Hmm, this build has successfully rebooted itself twice, during heavy use. I wish I knew how that worked, so we could get it to reboot on command!

Wifi not working D:
Also if I put 15-02-19, Haret asks for 11-12-09 (where can I find the latest haret?)
Why does it happen?

Almost downloaded Hero, just got vanilla Eclair to boot the first time. I'll look into wifi. Maybe it's me but Eclair seems faster than Donut but I haven't messed with it much. That should make Hero much nicer.. will post back when I get further

The startup.txt needs to be updated for the new zImage, or you can download my updated one from the first post.
@enatefox:
O
Hero is very buggy, has too many problems to run daily for now. Overall Eclair Mike the fastest yet though! And the fonts are much better for qvga. Text autocomplete has issues.

Nah, don't worry, it was something really really stupid.
In the same file you said, it was like "zImage 11-12-09" so now I saved it saying just "zImage". Now works fine.
Waiting for wifi updates, great work guys!
BTW, is there any way to take screenshots?

damn bootloop. I'll look at this tomorrow but that's a promise . I don't know where these wifi files came from. I dropped in the ones that I've used and we'll see. Right now I'm fixing telnet and some other issues to post back with but it will take a little bit of time. We're going to get this working for daily use.

Here's working wifi for Eclair:
http://www.mediafire.com/?ezyzekjozj3
EDIT, I didn't get Hero to boot for me (looping) but I forgot to update Eclair Hero's conf file to match conf.eclair.kaiser.rc.. can someone either do that and repost or wait for me to finish some perm issues with it and I will upload one for Hero. Sorry about that.

I have got to be doing something wrong. I am using all of the files from the 1st post and the rootfs.img from enatefox's last post and this sat for 30 minutes. I even copied the user file to the sd card, to the /sdcard/CONF folder and into the /sdcard/Android/CONF folder and still it sits. I'll get a post of the last few lines up later to see if I just need to wait more or not. I am also using an empy 2GB Fat32 SD Card with the 1.71 radio. All other builds work but this one???
Any ideas?

I could mirror my files. They're working perfect, even wifi and etc (bluetooth not yet).
Folder Screenshot:
http://i46.tinypic.com/oqbo2c.jpg
Then you delete data.img to start from the beginning.
that could solve your issues

If u don't mind, that would be great. I also just noticed that even after a 1/2 hr, a data.img file never was created
edit: wait, your system file in that picture is only 44.325 MB; the latest system file from post 1 is 89.3? Why so different?

What do you mean, clean data.img, do I need a clean one already on the SDCard for 1st run, so none present?

FYI, your 'conf' and 'android' folders should be named in lowercase, if they aren't already.
The only way we can tell what is wrong is to see whatever the console says before it freezes, or ADB logs if you can make it that far. Post whatever you've got.

If it wasn't created then... you wouldn't need to delete it, do you?
ROM Size: That's because I use mixed files from the different Eclair thread's.
It's a "package" of what worked fine on my device.
Most of the files are from this thread, but the system.sqsh is from this one:

You need to have one of two things:
If you are using the partitioned SD method, you need a fresh ext2 partition (newly created with a partition manager, or wiped using the Android install script)
If you are using the data.img file method, just make sure there's no data.img on your SD so the installer can create one during boot.

I competly forgot about needing all lowercase letters; as for the data.img file, that is what I though; Thank you
[EDIT]
That is so wierd; I had to place the system.img into the /sdcard/android folder and the use user file in these 3 places /sdcard /sdcard/android and /sdcard/android/conf
Now it works. Don't know what changed, but it works

I can almost guarantee you that the .conf file in your SD root and the .conf file in /android/ are ignored, try deleting them and just leave the .conf in the /conf/ directory. And yes, everything including the system.img/system.sqsh should go in the /android/ folder now.
I bet you can boot this Hero build, but it has a lot of bugs, you'll probably be happier with plain Eclair that rugalck linked.

hey guys ill update when king drops 0.7

[How-To] properly install Android

It is not quite self-explaining how to install Android on our Windows Mobile devices. Therefore I took some time and wrote down all the steps for people who are new to "Android".
More testers -> more experience -> more knowledge -> faster/better development.
I hope this way the forum is kept clean(er) from all kinds of questioned that have already been answered many times.
ReadMe Includes:
- Partitioning
- Device preparations
- Boot loader
- Install steps
- Fixes
- Links
- more...
If you are a developer (you create your own package) feel free to use my ReadMe for your packages (update regularly though).
to download the ReadMe click the [Android Repository] button in my signature.

It goes to a rapidshare page with 3 files, and when I click on the filename Android_README.TXT
or start download, I get the error
The file could not be found. Please check the download link.

ok thanks. i fixed it (rs bug when renaming files ^^)

How would i partition a 1GB SD Card? ie what sizes etc are the last 3 same but the unallocated is just whats left over?
I want to use a spare card rather then the one that came with my HD.

normally just calculate how i wrote in the readme:
whole space -768 (3* 256) and then the other 3 x 256
but in ur case i would make the swap smaller (i think its not even used at all) and the fat32 bigger; for instance:
fat32 - 384 MB
ext2 - 256 MB
ext2 - 256 MB
swap - 128 MB (rest)

To be honest the bit I find most confusing is all the different versions!

i didnt create any partitions on my card, and android works as good as it does on any, mind you i have not updated the files fo0r a month so alot might have changed

ReadMe updated!
updated a bit...

i agree...
i've been looking these posts here for a couple of days now and i still don't know how to do it....
especially the DualBoot thing...
is it possible to make a little bigger how-to manual?
or at least explain the versioning and the needed thing a little more?

the readme is about 50 times longer than anything else u will find about installing android anywhere else
the different versions are just like in windows mobile, theres not much to explain, its rather up to ur personal preference. doesnt take as long as flashing a wm rom, so its easy to try out more versions, especially with more sd cards.
dual boot is easy:
1. install the cab
2. open the dual boot program and make all your settings, for example: auto boot android (click on the checkbox/ratio under android logo), check auto boot checkbox and check fast boot (means 3 instead of 10 secs).
3. restart your device, DONT LAUNCH HARET because that will destroy all the dualboot settings. if you restart/shutdown the device normally, the settings will be stored and android will automatically booted at next startup (or whatever you set before)
if you have android autoboot and u want to boot wm, just QUICKLY press the wm LOGO when the dual boot screen appears.
i might include this in the readme soon, just dont have the time right now unfortunally

Thanks for the dualboot help... i'll try that...
the first problem I have encountered yesterday when trying to put Android was SD card formating...
i downloaded the program you said and followed the instructions oh how-to and was not able to do it under Windows 7 with my 16GB SD card... does it even work for Windows 7??? is there another program I can try to do it with???
I have also dualboot on my PC with the Kubuntu being the second OS, but I'm not using it as much as Windows 7... I can try with it if you think it will work.. but first I have to download the 15GB of data from my SD card to my PC, again
I would like to put the Espresso build cause I saw that it has everything working beside the GPRS and camera...
can you tell me what should I download for my Blackstone so it works properly???
thanks alot...

like the readme says: partitioning is only needed for partitined builds, which means that android uses several partitions to store different kinds of data, for - hopefully - more speed. only glossy uses partitions, espresso doesnt.
for glossy, u can also use ubuntu (download parted magic or something similar) to create partitions.
for espresso, u just need to copy the stuff onto ur sdcard.
but thats all in the readme... i dont have time to explain in detail coz i need to study a whole ****in lot at the moment +.+

well, some details about what version you are using would be helpful. however, this is not the right channel to ask this question. i think this question has already been asked several times in other threads. try search function or read the thread for ur version, its probably a version-issue or only for your country/provider

[REF] serious jpx IO/db problems/bugs? [unsolved but found the cause]

ext2 can easy corrupt data, i had also long time no issues with ext4 anyway it started to give me issues, because since JPU RFS is fast enough and smooth i see no reason to use any of the "lagfixes" anymore.

As XXJPX doesn't use ext2 out-of-the-box, blaming this ROM is nearly irrevelant.

Exactly Slane. It's like saying your pen is of poor quality, after using it as a crowbar to pry something open. Or saying OSX broke your hardware after using your Macbook air as a hammer.

you know that ext2 has no journaling ...
if the phone turn out, without the filesystem beeing umount then IT IS NORMAL that you have these bugs ....
it may be possible that samsung did not umount the filesystem on shutdown

hardcore's ext4 default settings will hopefully solved this issues.

yes, no umount will be done on every reboot/shutdown

sigh...noobs. do you even know who the TS is? ykk_five is one of the more knowleagable persons around here, even if he doesnt post a lot.
he was one of the first to present the loop lagfixes, and later contributed to the ext2/4 lagfixes and also was instrumental with the finding which led to more usable ram for froyo (which found it's way into ULK, voodoo and other kernel tweaks).
although so far i havent face any problems with JPX like those he mentioned, i wouldnt dismiss his comments just like that. maybe he was a bit quick to announce but that doesnt mean you guys can slag him like that.
let's just let the investigations go on for a while.

So whats the perfect recipe for a functional Android port??

Hi everyone,
For Past week or so, I have been trying and trying and trying with varying degrees of success in my quest to get Android on my Wave. At the moment I am clueless about what I am doing wrong! I have followed the tutorial to the dot! except for the deletion of Wi-fi file. And I have faced all the issues mentioned in the TUT thread in different installs, now its just getting stuck at the language select menu! after choosing language, it freezes! So I want someone who has perfectly installed Android on Wave with applications and Wi-fi to tell me the small tit-bits and nuances, just the wisdom that you may have earned of...this procedure!
Here's my Specs:
Samsung Wave S8500 with XXJK1 firmware successfully flashed and tested with Android.
Sandick 16 GB SDHC Micro SD CARD
Tried 13 bada 2 android but not enough space errors
Tried 14 bada 1 android but random hangs, once boot fine. next time nothing!
Thanks!

It's a pre-alpha release. So you can't expect that it will run smoothly. So my advice wait for the first official release.

My partition is 1943 Mb. But if android is running and the partition is smaller then 4gb i think it's go wrong by the chmod 0777 command.

And you can install apps? Also I do not understand what you mean my your second sentence?? you yourseld have a partition of 1933 mb right? and why does it go wrong with chmod?? thanks for replying.. I am trying once again...

The command CHMOD 0777 gives read/write/delete permissions on the folders and files. So when there goes something wrong with that command android can't write files on your sdcard.
Yes i can install apps and play games on android

So you don't use those commands (chmod) when you installed it? and how did you copy your files? thanks for the replies
EDIT: Woo hoo!! angry birds just worked! but I am getting ERROR when I try to enable Wi-fi! Do you know what this issue??

Yes i used the command (chmod) because if you don't use, the market never works.

RE
Android not booting anymore on 4GB, it breaks the ext2 filesystem. Now giving up and living on Bada again

The perfect recipe is WAITING for the stable release. Oleg and company are working so hard in this port and its so unstable not and have some clues to be solved.
Please, if you don't know what are you really doing, stop trying Android unless it will be fully ported. Because nowadays it will be unstable and nothing we can do will solve it.
We just have to be pacient and give our support to developers, and let then do their job.
Android in our Waves is now a reality, don't disturb people who are working on it and let them porting it. Maybe it will be fully ported in a few months.
This release is only for testing purposes, not for playing Angry Birds and nothing else, and its pretty useless. So don't think you will get a full Android right now installing some patches and touching the configuration, because it is IMPOSSIBLE right now.
Threads with no sense like this one, made only by impatient people, should be closed.
Regards.

agree with the last post, I am also tempted to make the port but I badly need a working phone , so I guess will wait for the stable version when I see everyone is ok with theirs

unmount your device and use fcsk -y /dev/<your_device>. this should correct problems becoz most of the people has prob due to not properly created filesystem or sudden shutdown. this will also solve input output error on chmod

Thanks people! but I got it working to the fullest (atleast, upto what is possible atm)!!
I noticed that for some reason, there were some files missing in 'System/etc' folder.
namely, the Wifi folder. So I pasted it from my PC and chmoded it and sudo synced it. then repaired with Gparted. Now works perfect! XD

[BUILD] XDAndroid Froyo 2.2.2 FRX06 for CWM Recovery 1.8 (ClockWorkMod)

THIS BUILD IS OUTDATED, CHECK:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1177721
I'd like to "present" my recompilation of XDAndroid FRX06 to work with Neopeek's CWM 1.8
No credit for me, but for all XDAndroid devs and Neopeek &co for this.
It doesn't have any other modifications apart from making it available to install from CWM, so everything that applies to FRX06 is useful here. You're the one to decide if you prefer looped or partitioned installs.
Don't try this if you don't know what you're doing. It's only tested by me, so what I'm looking for are TESTERS. PLEASE READ EVERYTHING CAREFULLY BEFORE DOING ANYTHING.
Normally it would be easy to return to previous state by repartitioning/formatting SD, but who knows. I take no responsability for any damage to your device.
The instructions for installing CWM are in Neopeek's forum. Only points:
1.- My partition schema, for 8Gb SDCard, is:
1st partition: FAT32 (sdcard / Rest)
2nd partition: EXT2 (system / 150MB) Contains /system - the base ROM
3rd partition: EXT2 (data / about 400 MB) Used as device's internal memory. You can use more if you install a lot of non-movable apps, but between 4 and 500 should do.
4th partition: EXT2 (cache / about 100MB) Dalvik's cache. 100 should be enough
I used Minitool Partition Wizard for the partitioning.
2.- Startup.txt, ts-calibration, kernel and modules must be in the same dir as haret.exe, in this case inside "npkboot" dir.
3.-To move in the CWM menu with our Blackys:
Peteflyman said:
I just toggle between "Reboot system now", push "Vol Up" to get directly to "Power off", and then toggle "Vol Down" to get back to "Reboot system now". I just do that a couple of times then "Back menu button enabled" usually shows up. That's it. Hope it works for you guys as well!

After the "back menu button enabled" you can use power off button to confirm menu selection. Just select "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from sdcard" and choose my zip (ofc, don't uncompress it).
4.- You don't need to install Gapps, they're included in the build.
5.- After installed, "reboot system now" and start haret again. Let it work for a while without touching anything until you see PIN or unlock screen to begin using Android.
6.- I'd recommend rebooting a second time before starting to configure everything...
It should work in any device where CWM and XDAndroid work, but the configurations I attach here are for TOUCH HD (Blackstone). If you want to try with other devices, be careful to use the appropiate config files (they shouldn't be difficult to find in your device's forum).
I'm using 1337 kernel & modules from Glemsom's autobuild and it works perfectly with my device, feel free to use the one that suits you better.

If you have any problem, I'll try to help, but for CWM problems please ask in their forum as you'll find better assistance.

Huh. I guess I'll give it a shot - I cooked a build with CWM & FRX06, was force close city. Tried to fix it, but not hard... Just chalked it up to CWM being crappy since I was able to run FRX06 on dedicated partitions no problem .

if you want to install any other build,or reinstall frx06,go to recovery,choose mounts and storage,then format data,format cache,format system (don't format sdcard for obvious reasons) and then mount data,cache,system,go back and install zip from sd card,choose your zip.
also if you find a build without gapps,go to cyanogenmod.com and grab it there,you should pich gapps for cyanogenmod 6 because that's the froyo build....MDPI or HDPI doesn't matter in our case
many problems are result of gapps missing (some builds come without them,this one doesn't) such as call rejecting or showing black screen instead of lockscreen when you wake the device,so be sure to install them

Then the only difference you'll notice is that you have CWM recovery Anyway, it works pretty well for me, and since I can now write updater-scripts I'll be able to change things very easily
Edit: Now I only have to learn to compare directories to be able to give incremental updates when FRX07 and so on come out!

i suggest you to take a working build and start swapping things and trying,it's not that hard,you can go @ neopeek and ask there,there are several tutorials i believe
just be sure to use a froyo build for your froyo build

Well, from now I only want to have the /system updated from time to time and identical to XDAndroid if I can.
If I think I can add something of value, I'll make another package to make clear they're different things But for now, I can't add anything (that works)

you can at least start with
/system
/app (add or remove apps)
/fonts (obvious)
/framework (the "look" of the build is defined here,so if you want your froyo to look like ginger,take some of the ginger files and swap with those in this one)
/media (it'll tell you what to do by itself)
other folders are build regarded and some playing and asking pros is advised here

any screenshots ?

It's a vanilla Froyo, identical to FRX06, so I didn't think they were needed. Just look at any basic original Froyo install.

Didn't change the sd that came with the device if that's what you mean. It's a Sandisk, can't tell the class

If it has no C2, C4 etc then it's a "classless" card. I have several, seems any card below 2gig that was sold before a certain time are classless.

Well, I can't tell because I'm in android now and can't extract it XD Never had the curiosity to check.
Let me see... Yeah, it has a "2" inside sort of a "C", so it must be a C2 8Gb SanDisk MicroSDHC lol

Working on FRX07 update.zip to test if it works with CWM

Hi Eodun,
Looking forward to the FRX07 CWM!
Do you think that it is required that Neopeak updates the roofts to the latests version?
regarding your FRX06 CWM, I have a quick question. It is possible to use my old data.img from the normal FRX06?
I guess that it may be possible to copy it on the data EXT2 partition but I can't access via windows XP.
Also tried restoring using CWM (I did a backup and replaced the data.img), but I get a checksum error. Any way to change the checksum to be able to do it?
Thanks in advance

I don't think so. But if you backup everything with titanium backup and then restore apps, appdata and system settings (only those that appear in green) you'll have everything as before.

Dude, you don't need to work on anything.
Just grab the FRX07 update.zip from XDAndroid and you're golden... stine makes updates for recovery, which should work fine for CWM.

Confirm it updates correctly, but there are some problems with the old Kernel/rootfs.
I can't get wifi to work and I can't turn the device off.
The 20110716 Kernel is not working for Blackstone Topaz.
We need to wait...

@arrrghhh: Yeah, I know the update is available, but ypsmav noticed the problem: I need the new rootfs for CWM, and I'm not able to adapt it. As I said, work is being done for that.
Thanks for your replies
Ps It will be a big problem if latest kernel doesn't boot. I haven't been able to boot with it. Edit: But still have to check if it boots with a clean data.
