[Project] [15-Nov-2009] Linux Android on Blackstone by #htc-linux team

WARNING!!!! SOMEONE (ME ALSO) LOST THE USE OF VOLUME BOTTONS AND CAMERA IN WINDOWS MOBILE AFTER TESTING THIS ANDROID VERSION, THE ONLY WAY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM IS A HARD RESET, SINCE WE ARE STILL TRYING TO FIX THIS KIND OF PROBLEMS I SUGGEST YOU TO TRY IT ONLY IF YOU ARE READY TO A POSSIBLE HARD RESET!!!
REMEMBER: ALWAYS WAIT FOR WINDOWS MOBILE TO FINISH HIS BOOTING SEQUENCE BEFORE STARTING HARET.EXE, MIGHT BE THIS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM
Screenshots in the second post (Thanks a lot aavan)
FAQ At 3rd post (thanks a lot Rizlo)
Here's the new Thread a lot of people asked for:
A new project is born to port Android on different htc devices with the same build.
A team of linux experts on #htc-linux is working hard to make it real and i'm trying to keep You updated with it.
Installation:
1- backup your data from yor sdcard to somewhere on your Computer (just to save pictures and music from accidents)
2- Format your sdcard fat32
3- download http://www.cobaltcode.com/fileupload/data/Android/AllInOne/Android-Donut-htclinux-15-11-09.7z (right click and save as) and unzip it in the root of your sdcard
4- copy /startup/blackstone.txt to the root of your sdcard and rename it startup.txt
5- Edit the startup.txt as u prefere (only if You know what You are doing, otherwise just leave it like You found it)
6- A new zimage avaiable here http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android/ (the one from Fri Nov 20 23:54:15 2009 +0100 ) unzip and put everything in the root of your sdcard rename the new zImage.20091120_235415 to zImage and u can delete the old modules-2.6.27-00593-g3890096.tar.gz
7- download http://www.cobaltcode.com/fileupload/data/Android/BuildUpdates/rootfs.img-15-11-09.7z unzip it and replace the old rootfs.img
This will fix the recharging problems
8- Go to Windows power settings and uncheck the "Auto adjust backlight" option.
9- Disable PIN on your Windows Mobile
10- run a file explorer and find in the root of your sdcard the file named Haret.exe and launch it
11- Test Android on your HD Blackstone and let us know every little thing to fix
You can contact the team or help us by joining #htc-linux on freenode irc network
Thanks to: phh, yeyoy, klinux, cr2, townkat, auss81, itchy8me and all the other people working on it on #htc-linux and of course You all testing and reporting
In this version:
--- Android 1.6
--- Accellerometer works
--- Bluetooth Works
--- Screen on/off works
--- Telephone, SMS system works (if your sms dont work try to read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433433 maybe u can fix it, anyway let us know if it works)
--- 3G works
--- Internet connection is finally fully controlled by Android and not from startup.txt so is supposed to be easier and working better
--- WiFi working (aparently only WPA2 is working propely)
--- Now power botton is "home botton" short press go to home, long press popup a menu of latest applications used
--- Recharging working
In the next release 3.5 jack entrance for normal Headphones will be fixed
Anyway phh give me the idea to "fix" the problem with turning on screen so hard and loong...
Is not really a fix but is a cheat
Download a terminal from the market or search for "Better Terminal" on google and copy the *.apk file u get into your sdcard in the directory /AndroidApps/ (if there's not that dir just create it) After booting u should find the application in your menu
type:
su
bash
echo 42 > /sys/power/wake_lock (remember to use the "spaces" between 42 and > and /sys...)
To revert the process just soft reset
this makes only the screen to sleep and not the system, makeing the screen faster to wake up, but it will affect your battery life.
It's your choice guys.
I hope we will fix it in next releases
For your knowledge you can visit and read http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RaphaelDonut

FAQ
Q: If I run Android on my phone, will it wipe out Windows and erase my own brain too? I don't want to forget my mother's name.
A: No. Just soft-reset your device and you will get back to good ol' WinMo.
Q: So I can try out Android with no consequence at all?
A: Not exactly. There is a slight risk that your camera and/or your volume buttons stop working. A hard-reset will fix this anyway.
Q: My phone is stuck at boot, displaying "Waiting for SD Card". Should I commit suicide?
A: No son, just get out of your room and go buy yourself a Class 2 SD Card. Most Class 6 cards have been reported not to work.
Q: It boots! But I can't find a way to enter my SIM unlock code! What's wrong with my life?
A: Just boot Windows and disable the SIM lock. It doesn't work in Android, yet.
Q: My camera flash isn't working anymore
A: Ok, that was a joke. Got it.
Q: My battery lasts 15 seconds.
A: This is an early development stage, so the system is not really optimized for battery life. Uncheck auto-dimming in Windows and install toggledata in Android to save some power. Or keep the darn thing plugged to USB, for crying out loud.
Q: How can I setup my APN?
A: Go to Settings - Wireless controls - Mobile networks - Access Point Names; tap on your home button and on New APN.
Q: I set my APN but it doesn't connect! How can I live with the burden of this endless pain?
A: Reboot and restart Haret. Or try and fondle with the airplane mode, sometimes it works.
Q: I can receive SMS messages but I cannot send any.
A: Known issue, it may be network related. Try this workaround http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433433 . Guy who posts this for the 10000th time doesn't win any prize.
Q: I can receive SMS messages but I cannot send any.
A: I said...
Q: I enabled WIFI but it's not connecting.
A: Try rebooting again. Also, it's been widely reported that it won't work on WEP protected networks, switching to WPA2 could solve the problem.
Q: When my phone goes to sleep mode there seems to be no way to bring it up again. Is it dead?
A: Press the power button. Again. And again. And again andagain andaggggain. Be patient, it will come up eventually.
Q: Android 2.0 is out!
A: We KNOW. Listen and repeat. WE KNOW. But devs are working on 1.6 for now, and getting that to fully work is their goal at the moment.
Q: Why can't we have the Hero skin on our device?
A: This is not really related to making Android work on the HD but anyway... that UI is designed for lower resolution phones. Go on a general Android forum for this kind of things.
Q: Is it gonna rain today?
A: I have to admit it's quite cloudy.

Why "Waiting for SD card" ?
Is my first time to Android linux.

mitikos i've built a .zip with tuxfiles and phh kernel/donut with startup.txt already fixed for blackstone, uploading right now so we have a complete package with everything we need.
If anyone can download it and make a mirror that'll be great, oh and maybe give it a try so we're sure it works, on my phone is working great.

Partial test: this relese is more stable, smoother, and more responsive than Tux' 0.2........
Now, finally, I can resume the LCD on by simply holding the power button......
Bluetooth is active now, but I not tested it yet
APN is now configurable without modifing the startup file, but at the moment I'm not able to start a data session...... maybe my operator WIND?
Screen rotation is fully active but not for the home.
Wifi not yet tested, but I know is still in development.

auss81 for me wind italy connection is working, just create a new apn in the wireless config and put internet.wind as apn, but i've configured it also in the startup.txt, have to try w/o it.

Great work. I was going to make that suggestion.
It's way better to have the same starting package in order to test and check possible issues.

anyone else getting random lockups?
I'm also having problems with turning the screen on again after changed the end button behaviour to make the device sleep. Only a soft reset makes it usable.
Otherwise this is a huge step forward in terms of functionality. Good work to all those involved

Yes i know the turning on screen sometimes is laggy, but is just couse the phone goes in deep sleep, so u hqave to press the bottons many times to weak it up. We will fix it in the newer versions for sure. You dont need to soft reset, just be patient, press the bottons and he's coming back for sure.

EDIT:
Sorry, I should have read it
more carefully, it is actually based on KaguDroids AOSP (a very fast AOSP) that was based CM's r2. Either way it is fast and works great! It has quiet a few things from CM 5.0.7 in it though

Can someone confrim that Galactic core and Aquarium wallpapers are working in this rom because in other clean roms they just starting but after screen goes out then you hit screen unlock button it changes to default wallpaper.

Awesome! I'm downloading now, I'll feedback on it later.

@hanser01, if this was based off of CyanogenMod 5.0.7-DS, why don't you just pick up where Darchstar left off with Darchdroid (GSM Edition). He's currently looking for someone in the GSM Hero realm to take it over since he doesn't have access to a GSM Hero.

Darchstar has done a lot of the work already for you & wants someone to take it off his hands, so I don't why it isn't a good idea.

think they mean Darchstar's ROM. they've taken Darchstar's ROM and are working on it.
Anyway a little feedback for your ROM. I realised it has the same "insufficient storage space" bug as a few of the other Eclair ROMs. So I can't install any new apps from market or from my SD card.
The only way I know how to fix it is using the Terminal Emulator app but since your ROM doesn't come with it, I can't install it because of the bug even if I have the apk in my SD card. So it's sort of a Catch 22 situation, if you know what I mean.
Thing is, am I able to just manually copy the Terminal Emulator apk file into your "EzHero0.1_signed.zip" file in the "/system/app" folder so that the Terminal Emulator app is installed automatically during flashing? Or do I have to re-sign the whole package again?

Look`s great but i need functional BT with my CAR BT KIT. :-(

bonesy said:
Download and install the latest android sdk .also Java jdk find and download autosign. Do this all by searching. I would download a custom rom as a template for your update.zip. extract the data folder and the Meta folder and put into a new folder, go into Meta folder keep clicking through the folders inside Meta one till you find update-script and open it in notepad.
Delete everything except the part saying something like copy package DIRATA and the show progress before it. Once that's all done put the Apps you want into the data folder zip up the data and Meta folders, when you open the zip folder you should only see those 2 no others! Resign it using autosign and flash

This bug normally come with the rom which have data/app partition but forgot to set the correct permition, just modify the update-script after the line:
copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
and add this line
set_perm_recursive 1000 1000 0755 0644 DATA:app
or us adb to change the permition
adb remount
adb chowner system.system /data/app

do you use a hex editor to edit the update-script? reason I'm asking is when i open it with Notepad, it appears as a whole continuous chunk of text. If I open it with Wordpad or MS Word, it's nicely formatted, but when I save it, what should I save it as? There are a few options like Text Document, RTF, Unicode and MS-Dos format. Whatever I choose, when I reopen the saved document with Notepad, it's not in a continuous chunk of text anymore and it's nicely formatted. And as I had expected, when trying to flash this, error msg appeared and the flashing stopped.
Maybe I'll just wait for Hanser to fix this in the next version instead or I'll try using ADB at my home PC.

NBH Editor v4.1

I'm no longer updating this! All of the new changes have been pushed to the atools version. L1q1d is going to be taking over from here on out so check out his thread HERE.
Here's an editor to select which settings you want for your nbh!
All this does is hex edit different things, including the cmdline info, like you could do with a hex editor. It's just a lot more user friendly.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
What everything means:​Device:
-Vogue: LINK
-Kaiser: LINK
-Polaris: LINK
Resolution:
-240x320: The native resolution on these devices. Will give the best overall picture quality.
-320x428: The smaller version of the 320x480 that fits our screens better.
-320x480: The native resolution for the G1 and most 1st gen Android devices. Things will fit better as they aren't scaled down, but everything will look blurry/squished.
Version:
-This is the Android version. Be careful not to get it mixed up with a user's release version. Most builds say either Donut, Eclair, or Froyo, but if not then you can install the system and look under Settings>About Phone and look under "Android Version"
-Donut: 1.6
-Eclair: 2.1
-Froyo: 2.2
Panel Type:
-Only Vogues have auto panel detection, so for Kaiser and Polaris users you will just have to pick one. If there's weird pixels, things don't look right, sleeping issues try a different panel.
Keyboard Types:
-Look HERE for more info if you don't know which keyboard type.
More Settings:
-ppp.nostart: If you set this to 1 it should prevent data from starting on boot. Helpful for some people but if you don't have to worry about data then leave it 0.
-CPU Overclock: This uses the same method that myn uses with Rogue Tools. Our CPU's are set to run at 400 MHz, but we can overclock them to over 500 MHz. I would suggest not going over 500 unless you know what you're doing, but some users have reported running at 550 just fine. It could decrease your device's life expectancy if using constantly, but probably won't notice for quite some time.
-System/Data Partitions: You can use this if running system or data off an EXT2 partition to use all of nand. Also helps when using an older Sense build that needed a larger system partition.
-Disable Vibrate on boot: Check THIS POST for more info on that.
-Battery Capacity: Self explanatory.

I've posted new a new version that should be compatible but when I change an NBH (Kaiser) to donut the hw3d.version becomes 01 and the "1" overwrites the space what should be after the "0". Setting an NBH to eclair seems to work though. Haven't tried the same with DZO's NBH though but the result should be the same.

New version posted. Now just one program.
You still need to select the NBH for your device.

Excellent work dude, truly the most useful pre-install software, makes setting up everything so easy, intuitive to use too.

That's something DZO will have to do... unfortunately you can't add things to the cmdline of the nbh or else it wont work right. it will have to be added to the source. If I can convince dzo to add it, I will add the option to change that value for other batteries. For now, you can try kallt_kaffe's nbh.
His also work with this editor

Scratch that. New update now includes ability to add default settings (like in kallt_kaffe's) for battery, clock, and ppp.nostart. I just flashed successfully but I haven't had much time to test.

Can now use either kaiser nbh or the vogue nbh.

Hi guys,
Sorry... I might have miss it.
Can someone explain what is the panel different?
I am using HTC Kaiser.
Thanks

Re: Loser's NBH Editor v3.0
It just depends what panel you have. The only way to tell is by trying each one. If you get weird pixels then thats the wrong one. I havent found any difference between panel 2 and 3 though...

Apparently there are some differences in the way panel 2 and 3 handle power on, power off, there have been a few reports of white streaks on waking up the lcd by some users on panel 3 using panel 2 settings.
This is not definitive though, since panel3 seems to be pretty rare.

You could set other default settings, like panel2 (most used I guess), I never tried another panel.And eclair for the other default setting (most used nowadays I guess).
Maybe you can add comments (like use 1.7x radio and hardspl 3.34 before flashing and use kernel from...) to make it completly idiot proof (and have less questions here on the forums).
Great work anyway.

That's a good idea. I'll change those settings to the commonly used ones and maybe save settings on exit so you don't have to do it each time. And add more info in the actual program. Thanks for the input!

Probably will try with Panel 2. I am using the SD boot with Eclair right now.

Re: Loser's NBH Editor v3.1
What would be some things that people would like to see added to this? I was thinking about making it possible to change cpu and gpu OC settings. And maybe battery settings. Can anybody think of any other cmdline settings?

I don't have any suggestions, just wanted to say thanks for the great app. Very convenient.

[ROM][2 NOV] Virtuous Codename: Trentacinque Beta 2

Virtuous Codename: Trentacinque Beta
Maybe some of you already saw on Virtuousrom Website that I was able to leak some screenshots of the new Virtuous ROM. But now I was able to leak a complete build from them *lol*
But now to the "real" stuff:
The rom itself is based on the Runnymede RUU 1.05.401.4. After some days with trying to make this build really stable we still need to say this rom is still in a early build state. So be aware that there will be some problems left. Also there aren't any tweaks at the moment in the rom. We first want to make it stable and then begin to add some nice features.
As you maybe already saw we have no name for the rom at the moment. Therefore we started a thread in our own forum where we got a lot of suggestions for it. We will now try to pick up the best five suggestions and then start a poll here on XDA.

[GUIDE] How to set up a SD swap partition
This guide will walk through how to set up a SD card swap. SD card swap allows your SD card to become a place where your physical memory can become virtual memory thus helping free up more physical memory . This is most likely needed in 512 mb devices running Virtuous Unity. This guide has in mind that you have knowledge of ADB. If not you may follow the alternate way, but I have not personally tried that way. If you would like to know more about ADB and how to set it up please go to ]this guide by theunlockr.com: http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/.
*Please back up everything on your SD card before going forward, I’m not responsible if you do not follow this step and loose everything on your SD card or if your phone is killed in anyway.
* Please Upgrade to Clockworkmod to 3.0.2.6 or newer before making the partition
1) Please boot into Clockworkmod Recovery (CWM, CWM Recovery). Once there go to Advanced-->Partition SD card-->Ext and Swap partition sizes. You will want to pick 128 mb for ext and 256 mb for swap partition.
2) Reboot into your ROM and place this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32936737/swap_enabler.sh script into the root (not with in any folder) of your SD card.
Once there you can go two directions. Direction A is through ADB, Direction B is through the terminal emulator.
3a) Type these commands in the command prompt:
Code:
adb shell
chmod 755 /mnt/sdcard/swap_enabler.sh
sh /mnt/sdcard/swap_enabler.sh
3b) Type these commands in the terminal emulator (You can find this on the market)
Code:
su
chmod 755 /mnt/sdcard/swap_enabler.sh
sh /mnt/sdcard/swap_enabler.sh
Please reboot your phone after the script is done
4) Verifying that it works. Please choose 4a if you used ADB and 4b if you chose terminal emulator.
4a) If you’re using ADB type these lines in the command prompt
Code:
adb shell
free
4b) If you’re using terminal emulator type these lines in the emulator:
Code:
su
free
If you did not get a bunch of 0s that means it is working, Congratulations.
__________________________________________________________________________________
The following code will not update partition tables on sd card, it will just switch off the swap in the system
If you want to do this enter these lines in the command prompt (If using ADB)
Code:
adb shell (skip if you're already in adb shell)
sh /mnt/sdcard/swap_enabler.sh disable
If you want to undo using the terminal emulator do
su
sh /mnt/sdcard/swap_enabler.sh disable
Code:

I never get many sms on my vison, in fact i never get any. So i have been unable to test this.
There really is not much that we can do about the missing sms issue.
How ever i'm finding that with swap enabled sense 3.5 seems to be a lot more usable than 3. So maybe it will be less of an issue. Currently ghostly is not included but can be found in the market if required.
Also there is no graphical corruption on non htc widgets when using swap.
I look forward to hearing your feedback.

It made me happy. Thx.

@OP Will the further updates require full wipe ?

Been testing for a couple of hours now, and here's my findings:
1. Had hot reboot in setup screen (entering twitter account details)
2. Cursor randomly left text boxes during setup (no issue after)
3. Trackpad wake is missing
4. In OC/UV Beater, lowest OC available is 245mhz (is 122mhz in Unity)
5. as above, lowest UV is 800mv (was 700 or 750 in Unity?)
Good points vs Unity:
1. Swap doesn't corrupt widgets, seems to work perfectly (saw 140mb free ram)
Everything else i've tried works well, smoothly, and responsive. It's a DD for me, and a lot better than some other roms out there!
Nice job!

Thank you for the feedback.
One of the issues we had with the last release of Unity was that people were experencing random reboots caused by the default UV, being able to go as low as we allowed was not good for the majority of devices. So the lowest options that were available have been raised.
Trackpad wake is a feature that we will add soon.
There are a few issues with text input, that we know about inculding the issue you have.
And hopefully the reboot wont happena again.

Ah, i see. Could i suggest that the lower OC/UV settings be made available as a separate patch for people with devices that can handle it? (with a big warning saying that installing this patch isn't recommended etc)
Then most people would be stable, and the lucky few can have silly underclocks for better battery life at idle.
Thanks again

So far it works well! Good job guys!

How to Enable and Disable On-screen/soft ButtonsEnable on-screen buttons:]
You will need root access for this.
Please take complete backup before proceeding, in case if you do something wrong..
If your phone isn’t rooted, you can use this method to root the phone.
You will need root access for this. If your phone isn’t rooted, you can use this method to root the phone.
Install ES File Explorer File Manager on your phone from the Play Store. This is a file manager that will be used to edit those system files to enable/disable on-screen/soft buttons. Those already experienced with using a root-enabled file manager can go directly to 4.
Open ES Explorer. Then, click the menu button on your device and click Settings. Here, tick the “Up to Root” option. Then go down and tick the “Root Explorer” option, then press Allow/Grant button when prompted to grant it root access. Then, tick the “Mount File System Option” as well. Once all three options are selected, press back to exit the settings.
Hit the Up on top in ES Explorer till you reach the outermost folder (till it says / at the top).
Go into the system folder, then scroll down to find the build.prop file. Tap on this file to start editing it. If you get an “Open With” prompt, select “ES Note Editor”.
Now, at the end of the file (at the bottom after the last line), add the line “qemu.hw.mainkeys=0″ (without the ” quotes), then save the file (press the Menu button to see the Save option).
Then, reboot the phone. After the phone boots up, you should have the virtual on-screen buttons on your phone
Disable Soft Menu and Back keys:
In ES Explorer, now scroll to the system » usr » keylayout folder, then tap on the Generic.kl file. Select to open the file as “Text” in the first popup, then select “ES Note Editor” to open the file.
Now, find the line that says “key 139 menu”, then add a # in front of the text, so that it becomes “#key 139 menu”.
Similarly, add a # before the line that says “key 158 back”.
Then, save the file.
Reboot the phone, after which the capacitive menu and back keys should be disabled

Waste of screen space, that's what the keys under the screen are for...

By mistake pressed thanks instead of reply... lol..
Yeah waste of screen but by changing DPI that is compensated and as far as I can see the home button provided by Samsung is too cheap quality.
Who knows we might need it.

I think it's not possible in 4.2.2 build. It was possible in 4.1.2 and possible in 4.4.x onwards.

Is there any hope?
