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.
Time changes, and things go better and better.
This thread is dedicated to test the android and try to figure out where is the problem
[NEWS]
The NEW KERNEL ROCKS.. With double RAM.
And the new rootfs is cleaner than before.
I am going to release a new package (which I just did some small editing)
What can you do with this package?
Connect ADB (very important for debugging)
Put everything in a folder of your SDCard
Supply with NEW kernel and now you have more free RAM
Enjoy the cleaner rootfs (I have made some small modifications)
Download : http://www.mediafire.com/?1tbnyz2jmky
If any of you know how to enable chat in irc, please let me know.
BASICS:
Current Android boot from HARET which start from Windows Mobiles.
It consist of several components. Each of those is having unique functions.
1. STARTUP.TXT
Passing parameters to kernel which enable users to specify machine specific data
Current parameters including screen size, dpi, rotation, etc.
2. Kernel
The most important piece of code that enable everything to talk to the machine.
Developers here are most focus on this area as the other are greatly supported by google and other developers.
Kernel also determine what the hardware could do, and how it connects to other devices.
3. rootfs.img
This is the root of the linux, which initialize the OS. Especially running some startup scripts and mounting folder.
4. system.sqsf
The is the base Operating System of something call ANDROID. For others, you may considered them the basic environment of mobile Linux. For what we call CupCake / Donut / Eclair are stored here.
What we will be doing is to test out the features and bugs and locate the part of the about components affecting it.
Updated ADB howto:
Grab my base package.
Connect to computer before running Haret.
Wait until Android boot complete.
Install Google SDK USB drive for whatever device show up.
droid explorer or "adb device" to test.
If no device found, replug the usb cable.
This post would be updated with agenda drawing most concerns. We need your testing to see if you have any similar problems.
Agenda:
Top priority:
Device can't be wake.
Rear speaker always on.
This post would updates the testing items, and report the latest status.
Everything here are replaced with most recent findings and once more users confirmed, it moves up.
Do not believe everything in this post, but try falsify it. Reports in here would be presices to the level of component and versions.
So make sure you know what you are testing.
This post is a testing invitation, with trials and errors.
If someone raised an interesting phenomenon, we are going to invites members to test it. And the result format would be given as well.
This post may be changed from time to time to refect the new items needed to test (including the return format)
Now, let's kick start.
#1 To Test the base package in post 1
Return with following format.
Machine Type: BLAC100 (other devices are welcomed, but of course we are BLAC owners and would focus on it)
Test build: 2010.2.4
Radio: 1.17.25.09
WIFI ON: YES (WPA)
WIFI OFF: YES
Calendar / Gmail : BOTH OK
Google Voice: OK
Deep Sleep: YES (To test it, disable WIFI, Any USB, and press END KEY to sleep. If deep sleep is working, the system should not be up with key other than the power key)
Wake up: Crashed sometimes initially and get stablized later
ADB Connection: OK
Additional Package Installed: Facebook, dolphin
Suggestion: Replaced with kernel version xxxx would help to xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (if you found out how to make the build better)
#2 DEEP SLEEP AND WAKE
Please post your kernel version (or if you have no idea, the file name of the wifi module) if you found youself never had problem with sleep and wake (not yourself, but your blackstone android).
Lets begin this thread with a constructive approach to achieve our desired goal.
Will Post the feedback as requested.
Machine Type: BLAC100
Radio: Security unlocked 1.16.25.48 (Kovsky)
WIFI ON: YES (WPA)
WIFI OFF: YES
Calendar / Gmail : BOTH OK
Deep Sleep: YES but say after 10 minutes it wont wake-up.
Market: Working with downloads.
Additional Package: Facebook, Wifi toggle, Currency converter, Battery lite.

Thanks for your report. Developers is aware of the wake up issue of blackstone. It is however, seems still not fixed in the new kernel.
And Pierre-Hugues Husson would disable the deep sleep function (consume a little more battery) in up coming kernels, and we can try it on very soon.

Thanks for the update.
mcdull,
Brendan shanks has changed pid on kernel to "0c01", this should enable working with ADB without hacking the inf file.
This was deployed on Build: [email protected]_071547.
Let us know if this makes any difference for you, and whether HTC sync is now possible.
Thanks
It works perfect
hello,
I am using ANDROID_bLACKSTONE_TESTBUILD_20100125.ZIP & zImage-modules-20100129_022341 and it works perfect on my Blackstone till now.
Wi-Fi - OK
Synchronization with google account - OK
Sleep mode - OK
It is FAST
Call IN and OUT - OK
SMS - OK
this combination is best of the best till now what I tried.

AFAIK, HTC Sync will not work just yet. And I was not able to connect to ADB after the change. I need to test on some editing.
- Theory
As I already mentioned, the latest implementation of kernel prevent the proper installation of usb driver, and we need to fall back to old kernel to install the driver first (which the old kernel has 0c02 address).
Now, the modification has put the case into dead end. coz we can have no way to ask the computer to install a correct driver with 0c01 address.
In such case it is more difficult to modify the whole batch of driver setting then just the ini. I still have no go in using ADB.
The HTC Dream driver for windows seems works on ADB again.
As suggested by Brendan Shanks, you need to modify the "eclair.user.conf" (stored in the conf/ folder on your SD card), at the bottom, add this line to the custom_shells section:
echo 2 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch
And I have successfully to connect to ADB again.

Thanks for that. I will try also.
Today, I started seeing the traffic animating 3G icon for the first time.
Great.!!
ADB working
Thank's mcdull ,using the Brendan Shanks method , ADB is working very well.
I'm using the 29-01 kernel and i changed the eclair.user.conf.
After that , the Droid explorer works well .
Bluetooth and GPS , the last frontier.
Regards.

I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE AFTER FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE. BUT I ASSURE YOU THAT THESE FIRMWARES HAVE BEEN PERSONALLY TESTED BY ME AND WORKS WITHOUT ANY HINDRANCE!!!

***************** THE FIRST MODIFIED INDIAN FIRMWARES ******************
****************************** ENJOY ********************************
A very good afternoon to all fellow wavers!!! ;D ;D ;D I am finally done with my exams and have finished the modification to the Indian bada 1.2 (DDKD1) and bada 1.0.2 (DDJI2). ;D ;D
NOTE: For some features to work, you will have to first flash to the modified DDJI2 and then flash to DDKD1. SO I advice everyone that they flash DDJI2 (1.0.2) first. Thank you for your understanding.
Firmwares Included:
1. Modified DDJI2.
2. Modified DDKD1. Only includes the CSC and PFS files, since they are the ones which were modified. So first you will need to download the actual DDKD1 from here: http://rapidshare.com/files/459305949/DDKD1.rar (THANKS TO ROHIRRIM ) and then replace the CSC and PFS files with the files I am uploading. Sorry for the inconvenience, but my net sucks.
For those who want CALL RECORDING, I am separately uploading two files: apps_compressed.bin and a CSC file. NOTE: If you flash these two files, you will have call recording, but you won't be able to update with kies anymore. Kies will show your firmware as S8500JVKC1/S8500ODDKD1. So the choice is yours. For more detailed explanation on how to get call recording keep reading.
Links to the files:
Modified DDJI2 - http://www.multiupload.com/1P61TNH9U0
Modified DDKD1 - http://www.multiupload.com/GMBM6PPQBY
NOTE: You will need 7-zip to extract files. Its free. You can google for it. Thanks.
CHANGE LOGS:
1. Bada 1.0.2 - DDJI2:-
a. The default browser bookmarks are now editable and can be deleted.
b. Social Hub Premium
c. Max MMS size is now 600 KB.
d. Faster GPS. (Lock within a minute under clear sky. ;D)
e. Now max receiver address for messages is 100. (In original DDJI2 it was 50.)
f. Faster booting. About 10 second faster switch on and about 5 sec faster switch off.
g. The default and only CSC region is India. So no need of pre-configuration worries.
h. Deleted all the pre-installed java apps.
i. Included Utalk java locked app with background running and push notifications.
j. Changed Java heap sizes for better java app performance.
k. Increased media player, music player, recorder and VOICE CALL volumes.
l. Deleted the pre-loaded images except the default theme background image,
m. Flash and ad-blocking is now enabled as default.
n. Improved the Secondary Camera (Front Camera) recording quality and increased it's framerate.
o. Increased the youtube streaming bitrate while on wifi.
j. Includes ASPHALT 5 (v1.1.1)
2. Bada 1.2 - DDKD1
a. All the features of Bada 1.2.
b. Support for Youtube 3d.
c. All the features mentioned in DDJI2.
For Social Hub Premium with bada 1.2:
If you want to enjoy Social Hub Premium on DDKD1, you need to first flash to DDJI2. Or else it won't work.
For Call Recording:
For call recording, you will need to flash to the modified DDJI2 and then the modified DDKD1. After that you will need to flash only the apps_compressed.bin file, link to which I am posting below. BUT AS I SAID EARLIER, if you want call recording, YOU CAN'T UPDATE USING KIES ANYMORE.. Your firmware will now look as: S8500JVKC1/S8500ODDKD1 (INU). This is because the apps_compressed.bn is fro the Turkish firmware. I have also included the Turkish CSC file with Indian pre-configuration. So if you wish you can flash the CSC file too to change your CSC version also to TURKISH one.
Download link:
apps_compressed.bin: http://www.multiupload.com/T7E7ZMRKWU
CSC file: http://www.multiupload.com/JI63RFB4YM
HOW TO FLASH:
Here is a video guide on how to flash, made by an user from this forum: Samsung Wave Flashing Guide
I have also attached a pdf guide to this post. The guide is from samfirmware.com. Remember not to check bootchange in multiloader even though the pdf guide asks you to do so.
WHAT TO DO IF AN ERROR COMES UP DURING FLASHING:
If during flashing, multiloader show an error like "Error: apps write" or "Errror: Rc1 write" or aything else for that matter, do not panic. First thing to do is press port search again and re-download the whole firmware again. If the error shows again, close multiloader, remove your phone from the usb, turn it off and then go back to download mode again. Open multiloader and then connect your phone. Then browse for the firmware files again, press port search and press Download. This time it should work without errors.
WHAT TO DO BEFORE FLASHING:
Before each flash, it is recommended that you do a hard reset. Type in "*2767*3855#" without quotes onto the keypad. Remember to take out the sim card and memory card before doing a hard reset. Also remember to backup all the stuff stored on the phone since the hard reset and flashing process wipes away internal memory.
WHAT TO DO AFTER FLASHING:
After each flash do a hard reset again. After the final flash, followed by a hard reset, do the following:
1. Pre-configuration:
Although the Pre-Configuration is already set to INU, and even though there are no other Pre-Configuration options, it is recommended to do the Pre-config process.
How to proceed:
Type in "*#5239870*#" without quotes. Select Pre-configuration. Type in the following in the password field without quotes: "*#27236*#" an press confirm. You will only see INU and it is already selected but it is better to select it again. NOTE: This process is similar to a hard reset. So remove sim and memory card.
2. Voice quality
Enter *#197328640#
1. Choose "[5] Audio"
2. Choose "[1] CP Config"
3. Choose "[1] RCV Config"
4. Choose "[7] Rx AGC"
5. Set "[0] enable flag" to 0 (both read and write)
Repeat step 3 with 2/3/4 (EAR/SPK/BTH).
3. Battery Callibration:
Type "*#0228#" without quotes. Then charge your phone until the top three parameters are 100%. If charging stops in between, unplug charger and then plug it again. Do this until you get 100% on all three.
4. Camera Update: (VERY RISKY!)
If you want to see the camera improvements I mentioned, please follow his step. But this process is very risky.
Caution: Do this very carefully. Make sure you are not out of battery before you proceed.
1. Enter *#36287#
2. Press 3
3. Wait for 4 minutes!! Do not touch your phone during the update process. Do nothing until it says that update is complete!!!
FOR SOCIAL HUB PREMIUM WITH FACEBOOK AND ICQ:
The default Social Hub premium only supports Yahoo, MSN and Google. If you want facebook and ICQ follow the guide in these two websites:
http://www.bada-blog.de/2011/02/17/anleitung-icq-account-mit-dem-google-talk-account-verknupfen/
http://badanation.de/topic.php?t=3313
NOTE: The websites are in German. So use google translate. If someone from this forum who is a native German and could translate the guide for us, it would be great! ;D ;D
Hope everybody has a great time ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
d. Faster GPS. (Lock within a minute under clear sky. ;D)

that change kills gps on bada 1.2
also it doesn't make it that much fast to drop down the time from 7-10 min to 1min
anyway thanks for telling
1. You say you have deleted the pre-loaded images, what about audio files?
2. Does your firmware allow Facebook to update via Samsung Apps for Facebook chat?
3. How about adding Answering Machine to the firmware?
no it doesnt :O
my gps works perfectly after changing those settings, its really fast and very accurate
@ TC can u increase the sms memory because it sux only 1300 sms memory dude
For a faster gps, I edited the ini files to enable auto download, data receive type from 2 to 1, device type to 1 from 3, enabled magnetic sensor and enabled ULTSon. Also there is a gps property in the csc file which you can change to s-gps (simultaneous gps).
And these settings do not harm the gps in anyway and its blazing fast on the Indian firmware at least.
The message memory setting is somewhere deep in the system files which are heavily protected. Most probably they are one of the .so file in the ShpAPP dump.

3. I didn't understand what you meant here??
Does this custom rom support launching of spoofed apps from menu...
Some Bada Firmware has answering machine. This saves quite some money by avoiding operator voicemail service.

The DDJI2 (Bada 1.0.2) firmware I posted, does support spoofing from menu. That's because it's an older firmware. However DDKD1 (Bada 1.2) doesn't support spoofing.
GPS+
Hello Astrotom forgive my bad English.
I would like clarification on the GPS function +, if you've made the changes you can make all the FW?
Can you explain how?
In all the firmware I tested the GPS + does not work.
I confirm with you that your firmware when you enable GPS + downloads work data and the 3G icon blinks and turns red?
Then you find the kb downloaded packet data?
DDKD1 carcked games r working?
can u make lockscreen as bada 1.2
did any body experienced JPJH1 middle eat version 1.02.It has buit in ans macine along with call rec. only SHP is not there. Can we extract the app frow th FW n install in ddkd1 or ddjI2.. Thank you for the gr8 work

Yes. The gps+ setting works for me. The 3G icon turns red and downloads the satellite data valid for 168 hours or so. And once you download that data, you never need to worry about gps locks as long as you are outdoors. You will get a alock within seconds there on. However if you disable location services, the data will have to be downloaded again and it may take a minute or two.
Good

Thank you for responding.
It would be good that you've done as you communicate to Samsung, because they still were not able to activate the GPS service +.
I do not doubt your words, but I want to be sure before risking overwriting.
I think this is one of the biggest bugs Bada.
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 Everyone,
I have flashed my s8500 to Bada 2.0. Its GPS is not working.
When I open My Position and wait outdoor for 30 mintue, no coordinate is displayed, it remains at 0.
However while using GPRS, it displays only N and E coordinates but not altitutes etc.
Please help to resolve the issue.

You can flash custom Roms that solve this problem. There is also some settings you can play with in the GPS menu.
With advanced GPS it works much better
On many bada 2.0 firmwares the GPS is broken and just doesn't work, the reason it seems to work when you turn AGPS on sometimes is because it simply uses network location instead(with some exceptions), but I've been unable to even get it that far most of the time, you'll probably have to try the custom firmwares as has been suggested, because stock firmwares tend to keep removing settings modifications when rebooting.
Other option is bada 1.2

Though Navigation is very slow in the WAVE (bada 1.2 and bada 2.0), it works. You need only patience at the first instance.
The custom firmwares make no difference and so not recommended as a solution, except you are willing to use Network services (which cost money) to navigate.
SOLUTION: The best solution is to verify that you are using the correct firmware for your region (for correct network settings).
Most importantly, cross-check your setting to make sure that Navigation appears under Application Profiles (without which you may never get a GPS fix).
Check like this: Menu => Setting => Network => Application Profiles => Navigation (+ your network name).
If Navigation is missing from the setting, or exists without any network name, please verfiy your Network setting. And obviously you will be able to navigate.
Best of luck.

Thank you for your reply.
I am already using custom firmware. It is based on Chinese firware with miner changes and Urdu language is included in it.
Can you suggest some good custom Firmware with support for Urdu language. OR suggest some change in settings.
I have already followed following settings but in vain

You can try Elite Rom v2.0.
Urdu is supported in this version.
I have flashed my set with Elite ROM (released 16-04-2012) but GPS is still not working without gprs.
Any other trick to catch sattelite signals. Can anyone explain settings with *#7092463*#
flash mean not by kies?
