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.
I've been trying since forever to get 2.2.1 working on kaiser.. i tried every combination of radio and kernel.. but as soon as i start wifi or data it crashes rite away.. i have read in past posts it might be because of radio and all but i tired.. now i'm not asking to solve this prob.. just want to know to combination of someone who's android is working all fine. all i need is working android with as much performance as i can get.. no matter which build it is.. if someone can post their kernel with details of what radio they are using and builds i would really really appreciate it.. just need working android on my device..
Thanks for all your help in advance..
Same problem here.
and no one have time to reply anyways..

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)

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.

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:
http://wiki.debian.org/LiveCD

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..
Hello XDA forum, I recently got an Xperia Play and wanted to use Yifan Lu's PSXperia, i have already used the tool several times and had no problems extracting apks and zpaks. After installing said components, when it comes time tostart the game, the health notice appears ad then the screen remains black but does not crash.
In the README for the tool, it has compiling instructions with indicated files. It mentions a "lib" directory and "resources" directory. Can anyone who has successfully used the exploit on an R800x (2.3.3) give clarification on this? I may have overlooked the compiling (is it necessary?) and wanted to obtain info regarding this before I start looking at the logs produced.
If possible, would anyone be able to provide a slight procedure on how to do the compiling and where?
Thanks in advance.
you have to change your data pack
use PSxperia 2
Hey Mehdi, just thanked you man, THANKS.
I knew about the 2nd beta but was unsure of using it, but after going ahead and fiddling with that one I am now HAPPILY enjoying Tekken 3 on my Xperia play!
