Hot fix to enhance response time for HTC Touch HD

Found it on the HTC Website:
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=0&dl_id=448
Hot fix to enhance response time for HTC Touch HD Date: 2008-12-04 Category: Hotfix
Sometimes the screen stops responding for about 3 to 5 seconds when running an application that needs to use the stylus to click the screen repeatedly within a short time. For example, the windows built-in software like SMS, email, solitaire, etc.
Installation Instructions: Follow the instructions below to install this software onto your device.
Note: This hot fix can only be installed in ROM version less than 1.19.xxx.x. To check your ROM version, tap Start > Settings > System tab > Device Information to confirm the ROM version.
I have installed it on my german 1.14 ROM, but dont see any speed improvements yet.

[APP] Pocket Freeware (developer release .13)

2/3/09 Update
I have updated the pocket freeware program with the help & permission of the Freewarepocketpc.net site.
I am looking for 1) feedback & suggestions, 2) testers, 3) B4PPC developers to help out - I want this to be a program that is useful and maybe even be something that could turn into an "App Store" someday (limited to what freewarepocketpc.net, of course)
[Description]
I've started another project over at Basic4PPC - this is called "Pocket Freeware" The goal was to create a client that would let you scroll through the software titles at Freewarepocketpc.net and install them directly onto your PDA.
Project url: http://www.basic4ppc.com/forum/open-source-projects/3487-freewarepocketpc-net-client.html
Released under the GNU General Public License
Current version: D.13 (developer's release)
Install instructions: unzip & copy to PDA. Program will create any directories and files that it needs. (this is a developer's build. future public releases will have a cab)
Attached: PC and Pocket versions (zip)
Features
1. View applications by New, or by category (edit categories.txt file to customize what categories you want)
2. View application detail - if app was installed by "Pocket Freeware" it will have checkmark and show both installed date and latest available date.
3. Download & install
4. Pocket PC and PC versions
Future or still in development
1. View list of what has been installed from freewarepocketpc.net with this app (and check for updates!)
2. Landscape mode (not implemented due to my laziness and focus on features)
3. View listings on freewarepocketpc.net's shareware site
4. More robust downloading (working with site owner)
5. Save settings (currently hard coded, some you can change during run-time)
6. Clean-up details page (artistic, I am not)
7. Your feature here?
Instructions & hints
1. Checking an unchecked box in the details page will download and install the app
2. Clicking on the image in the details page will enlarge the image. Click on image again to minimize.
3. Little "X" in right hand corner of details page will close the details & return to listing
4. Double click (or press enter on dpad) to select application to view details. I may add the detail launch on the main page image in a future release

Sounds like a great idea.

The owner of the PocketFreeware site had some concerns with it, so I decided not to continue it. However I have been trading e-mails with them so something may come out of it.
I have a screen shot posted on my wiki: campusbbs.freehostia.com

Yea, I saw that... too bad cuz I flash from time to time and don't have a back of a file. Anyway thanks for the info.

New Developer's Release .12 - complete rewrite

See main post for details.

The PC version works ok; the ppc one, instead, not: the upper part (where in pc there is the app list) is blank, and i can only see the description of the first item (as now PockeTwit) and its image. Nothing else. The lower part (WVGA-VGA) is also blank.
Device: HTC Touch HD, rom 1.13 ITA

Thanks. I'm using an external library for some of the controls (ie the listbox that doesn't show on your pda) and thought they would size properly.
The HTC Touch HD has a screen size of 480x800 - I'll check the code to make sure it handles this.
UPDATE: I made some changes on how controls are sized and tested this in the 240x320, 240x400, 480x640, and 480x800 emulators. They seem to be working correctly now.

Pulled the links again? All I see on the basic4ppc thread appears to be source code? and no link to anything here either. Dead project?

20/01/09 - Latest zimage from rogro82 zimage
19/01/09 - Android Vogue package android-19-01-09.zip Latest zimage from rogro82 zimage
Boot:
Copy all files to the root of your sd card, replace zimage (with the one from rogro82) and run haret (included).
What's working:
- Calander
- IM
- Market
- Google Mail
- Email
- SMS
- Audio
- Dialer
- Adding Contact
- Import Contact from Sim
- Calling the added Contact
- Internet
- Google Maps
- Phone calls (with full audio support)
- Turn screen on/off without problems
- Buttons are mapped right
Known issues:
- Telefone isn't disconnecting when pressing red button (you must press the on/off button)
Solution for screen flickering:
Use "board-htcvogue.panel_type=3" in default.txt
Internet isn't working:
Besure that you have a active data connection in Windows Mobile -> Boot Android -> lauch Togga and click on "Connect"
If you can't find "Togga":
You should just make a folder called "AndroidApps" in the root of the sd card and put this file in there:
http://retrobits.googlecode.com/files/Togga_103.apk
It installs when android starts. Now you should have "Togga" in your programs list.
Solution for "No Network" "Not Registered"
You must disable sim pin in winmo, than run haret.

Put your the right title
bug found when switch OFF and ON when the screen repears the top bar is split in two part.

thanks =) changed the title.

Good job! Finally a thread where everyone can put there issues with Android without spamming the development thread.
You could add some known issues and answers to the startpost if you want (see below).
Known issues:
- Audio isn't working
- Starting camera results in a crash
- Screen displacement while turning screen on (temporary solution: click power button until screen is aligned right)
- Mapping buttons not optimal
Solution for screen flickering: use "board-htcvogue.panel_type=3" in default.txt
Internet isn't working: Besure that you have a active data connection in Windows Mobile -> Boot Android -> lauch Togga and click on "Connect"
And maybe add what works and what doesn't work.

Android boot's fine, and calls seem to work as well. But that is Togga? I've searched the forum and looked around in the Android menues without getting any wiser.

You can find Togga at the bottom of the main menu (be sure that you have the latest files from dzo (16-01-2009 or 19-01-2009, see startpost).
When you launch Togga and click on "connect" then Togga setup a data connection.

I have a question more than a new bug; Is the android version in these downloads some kind of testing or special development version? Because i miss certain options that are available on the G1 (like Gmail for instance). I would like to check out how android integrates with my google apps account. Calendar, Contact and Gmail i mean. And, if so, is there a way to update to a full version of android without losing the kernel stuff?

If you can't find "Togga" in your programs list then you should just make a folder called "AndroidApps" in the root of the sd card and put this file in there:
http://retrobits.googlecode.com/files/Togga_103.apk
It installs when android starts. Now you should have "Togga" in your programs list.

Maybe adding this into the startpost? And maybe it is clarifying to setup the different solutions as follows:
Internet isn't working
blablabla
I can't find Togga
Download Togga at http://....
Keep up the great work!

Android isn't a specific development or testing version (for as far as I know). I think when Android is fully working all these applications will be working too.

I'm getting a "Kernel Panic". It says that something is "not syncing".
I've got:
- Khax Touch Diamond V2.
- Radio 1.59.44.02
- Active internet connection (WiFi)

Two things:
your active internet connection needs to be via gprs rather than wifi - there are no wifi drivers available yet.
you need to replace the Zimage that you have now with the one listed from rogro at the top of this thread.
hope that helps

Doing this way it works perfectly! Thanks a lot
It has a very slow startup.
SIM contacts are not accesed.
- Phone OK
- Internet Browser OK (some problems pressing buttons)
- Google Maps OK
- The search with Google at the right side of the home screen is not working. I could not enter any text. The keyboard just didn't appear.
Quite good, indeed!!! It looks amazing. What a big difference in the interface design... compared to Windows Mobile

Only the first startup is slow, the second should be faster.

i use the last zimage from rogro. it works and boots without problems.
good work.
some more things wich don't really work:
- Calendar is not opening
- telefone is not disconnecting when i press the red button
- gallery is not working - because of camera problem ? but i can access my photos over OI File Manager and over the wallpaper-menu
- IM is not opening
sound is disabled because of my old radio (1.59.42.15)...
which is the last version i should flash on my device to get it work?
i can connect to internet with togga - it shows me ip and everything - but neither google maps nor email nor browser find this connection. (server not found) also a radio issue?

Cant boot with sim card inserted, wihout sim all works fine. Last radio.

Making good progress!
Hi Everyone,
First off, thank you again to marcelkordek for starting this thread, using the instructions at the beginning I was able to get a working setup that I look forward to testing up coming zimages with. This is the first time I have been able to connect to the web and make calls with Android on my phone!!!
I can pretty much confirm all the listed known bugs but can also add the following one.
*Cannot import contacts from SIM gives an error 'No contacts on your SIM card'.
Polaris - HTC Touch Curise.
M-Amime 2.0 WWE
1.59.44.02
Also is there a way to exit out of Android back to Windows Mobile instead of doing a reset?
Cheers
Ben

Congrats to the developers, and to marcelkordek for creating this thread.
Running fast and most importantly stable - can really see this being a viable alternative once the audio, contacts, calendar and sms/email bugs are sorted out.
Looking forward to the next update!
As there's nothing to 'install' (just copy stuff to the root of your memory card) I encourage everyone to take a look at this. Once you've finished playing, just soft reset and you're back to your Windows ROM.

Should we overwrite the zimage that comes with the 19-01-01 Android Package with the one from rogro82 ..?
I used the one from the extra archive.
Maybe also worth to include on the 1st post that after copying everything into the root directory you just start haret.exe

grab the edge of the windows and drag to the size you want, might need to disable the window being maximized (right click on the windows bar in the top bar, unmaximze)

Trying to run Ubuntu v0.3 gives me a problem.
I runt the haret file, the "shutting down hardware
Turning off MMU" etc text shows up, but at the point when the ubuntu should be booting, the text (shutting down hardware
Turning off MMU, jumping to kernel...) just fades out, screen goes blank and nothing happens.
I am currently using a 4gig SD card, could this be the problem, do i need more space?
I didnt find any other posts with this problem described so answers are greatly appreciated.

Note, due to the bug in mediascanner and decoding and on top ext2sd support, quadrant benchmarks drastically drops when ext2 is enabled, if the sdcard is not a class6 or higher.. but media decoding bug alone caused incorrect reportings, so dont be surprised when you test now.
Its a full nandroid for new and existing users. if you're using 1.1+ you do not need to WIPE settings, just restore nandroid and reboot, signatures will be recalculated and bootup takes maybe little more, but it works fine.​
Patch update Changelog v1.1b (Android v2.2.1 edition) Download patch here
- HDMI added to settings menu, let me know how it works (not tested)
- different proximity sensor module (tested with z-devicetester seems better)
- facebook fix still included.
- Support for loading overclock module at startup.

its not advanced, so you need ext2/ext3 partition for now.

If you want stock korean 2.2 with just english language and working sensors, download this nandroid dump, if you will probably need the 1.1 including recovery.apk to install this the easy way.
but else follow instructions in my other releases, and put nandroid backup into the /nandroid/openrecovery folder and restore using OpenRecovery.​
See this post, if you wish to restore a stock rom, or to enable apps2sd filesystem on sdcard
Install instructions:
Make sure sdcard is visible, when you get to step 6 of instructions, or it all fails, same with restore..
A: users with stock 2.1 can proceed to step 1 in instructions.
B: users with stock SBF korean 2.2 rom , need to flash stock 2.1 and goto step 1
C: Users with 1.1+ of rom with OpenRecovery , can skip WIPE and factory reset, and a restore of the new nandroid backup included in the download link, and goto step 8 (and skip step 9 for factory reset)
root it (SuperOneClick ) - included with zip
install OpenRecovery , use included apk.
reboot phone once
copy the folder "nandroid" to root directory of your sdcard.
Make sure sdcard is not attached to pc using "mass storage share" to pc.
Run OpenRecovery app and "install Recovery".
Press Boot recovery
restore the backup "stock22xxxx"
wipe / factory reset in OpenRecovery
reboot
Issues reported by users in v1.2a:
- Radio FM volume cannot change.
- MediaGallery does not do videoplayback
Issues reported by users in v1.0:
- Radio FM volume cannot change.
- Sync account option for facebook / Twitter is not added in settings when account is configured.
- Camera language not going to change (its korean app, so not support for other langs)
- LEDS do work, its sensors that makes them go off/on (no need to report this anymore)
STATEMENT:
Please don't keep asking the following question directed to me, public or via PM;
- Can you include language XXXXXXXX .
Answer: NO
- Can you teach me how to do custom roms
Answer: NO
- will you include RTL for hebrew
Answer: NO
- will you make other roms like cyanogen,htc etc..
Answer: NO
for new users unable to write in public forums, i cannot answer all your PM's personally, as that gets to be a quite a few per day and many monthly...i am not a support central for xt720 community..i simply don't have that kind of time available.

if i press camera button here (1-2 sec) it opens?
media button (the small one becide the cam button?) ? yes i see its not doing any action
from what i read now, the known accelerator driver issue + led,hdmi is 2 majors, im not sure about other issues becides the extra languages which for some seem to cause issue..
the way the launcher works is a matter of taste (seeing like 20+ android devices)
- if you're coming from stock 2.1 there is differences and more functions, but if you tweaked alot maybe less features are here, like dalvik.
- rotation is a problem if you plan alot of games with acc. functionality..
- I personally dont experience problems, except the buttons which personally i would love to fix now..
I think overall there is a positive feel about the first working release.

hi there ! is it the final version of 2.2 or still in testing process?
nice job and thank you all...

FM RADIO also missing.....

@Dexter, thank you for contacts.apk. But how to install it? After replace in /system/app it's says - It's not installed, and when i try to install it - it says: I can't be installed.
For more issues: how about light sensor, that detects when you speak on your phone?
On 2.1 when you speak touchscreen goes off and you cant press it errorly.
Thank you very much.

I been following this thread, very intresting! I thought, would it not be possible to use the kernel from XT720 (2.1), beause its the same kernel version? Or is too much changed?
Click to expand...

ok, i went back once more and flashed just 2.1 kernels from uk rom, and indeed all sensors work now.. but,but,but... no 3D accelerator is currently activated, so screen lags really alot..
but yes, with that kernel it still boot up fine, with a few changes.
edit: update - ITS WORKING!!! running with 2.1 uk release kernel , its working now, all sensors activated..

In the facebook app if you tap on "Facebook" at the top you go to the page to navigate to news feeds, friends, etc. If you hit your options button there there is a settings screen that includes preferences for how contacts are sync'd.

Yes i saw those settings, unfortunately they have no effect or bearing on the accounts.
I believe this is a bug, yet no one has confirmed or denied being able to reproduce it.

All sensors activated!!
I think smurfb deserve a little thanks, for pushing the request/idea just to try loading the old uk kernel once more, so i did and this time i fixed the problems with loading the old kernel and lib/bin required, its not much and most (2.2) korean state is kept intact..
ill do some testing after the new nandroid backup and start uploading v1.0

yes, 3d is fully functional now. I dont think it will work, but i will find a way to add the functionality..
the korean rom has only english, which im sure not many appreciate, although camera as one is used from that rom so only english is enabled.
but i will for sure try and get HDMI working..
I got FMRadio app added, does it help?

Thank you so much for making this, Dexter. We are hungry of froyo, asking for more. But you deserve to take a break
which languages does it have?
I will install it soon. can someone upload a video of it?
