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:

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)
- The file I extracted to the root of my SD card is:

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

Use data.gz, haret.exe, initrd.gz, system.img and default.txt from latest android files 19-01-09
use rogro's latest zimage http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=147804&d=1232304684
WIFI don't work yet.
You must have a gprs/umts connection in winmo to get internet running.

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

nobody hav tested o tryd it.. cmon guys. i need ur rply if it works
would try it, but google prevents syrians from downloading programs from their site.
and I'm too lazy/wary of using routers and such, plus, using them in the past has put me through some troubles so...
I'll see if there's a workaround or something
Hey i've uploaded THE RTL Patch on Mediafire you can download the attached file to get the link
can we get Hebrew by same way???
i dont know how to.. but if you hebrew font from using PC font rename the font to DroidSansHebrew and replace it and check... if not than try with another font..
Hey Guys Guess WIth the RTL Patch i tested with the same uploaded fonts on
HD2 CoreDroid DHD V1
And arabic is working fine on it. connected letters..
thanks, I tried it but somehow the program doesn't find my phone
do I need the SDK for that or what?
I haven't got it yet because I don't want to go installing pointless programs on my PC. plus I can't download the SDK from Google's because of the block >.>
great work keep it up
this is funny, but when I manually added your font in the fonts library, it solved most of my problems :S
thanks
many many thanks for this
but i have an issue here,
the patch detects the phone & build without the type, i choose NAND as my rom manually, the patch starts to the point that it stops with error, something about it cant replace the files coz they are in use, says to try from recover mode, rebooted and tried from CWM but it also failed to apply the patch.
so i replaced the fonts manually, rebooted, arabic letters is connected with some letters not showing the right way, and of course no RTL
is there a solution ? i could live without RTL, just want all the letters to show the right way

of course HTC Sync is off
everything works fine, to the point of the patcher starts " Patching Device " , it works for a couple of seconds then it fails
it says " File transfer Failed Because The System is in use it is recommended to start your phone in recovery and try again "
i tried patching from clockwork recovery mode with no luck
thanks anyway, i managed to solve it manually on my own
The RTL patcher in this post is really old.
I've since created a newer version with broader compatibility and better device detection: See here.
so here is the new edition with uk kernel, basically pretty much the same as before with correct sensor drivers now.
Changelog v1.3 (Android v2.2.1 edition) Download nandroid image here or mirror
- xavwanted's libOMX and MediaGallery.apk which seems to fix HD recording and playback
- Riley600's interactive governor fix
- callwaiting fix
- kousik's mount-o typo fix
- Mioze7Ae move /oc to /system/oc
- bootanim by helmi666
- Email.apk replacement
Changelog v1.2b (Android v2.2.1 edition) Download patch here
- fixes problems with callwaiting functionality.
Changelog v1.2a (Android v2.2.1 edition) Download nandroid image here
- 720P recording fix
- re-added old MediaGallery as Camera app requires it.
- there can be possible hickups with mediascanning (so you know)If you do see many FC's its a symptom of not having done factory reset, so this should indicate whether you need to do it or not.
Changelog v1.2 (Android v2.2.1 edition) Download nandroid image here
- fixed mediascanner issue
- removed old mediagallery (not supported) , now only Gallery3D available.
- removed VoiceCommands app, cpu intensive and taking much storage.
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.
- apps2ext partition support , will mount at startup if a 2nd partition is found.
its not advanced, so you need ext2/ext3 partition for now.
NOTE: Patches goes into /OpenRecovery/updates and is applied in openrecovery menu "apply update".
Changelog v1.1a (Android v2.2.1 edition) Download nandroid v1.1a link
- Based on 2.2.1 milestone framework leak
- Sync facebook is working
- Lockscreen is new (Blur like)
- see this link for framework theme's.
Changelog v1.1 (Android v2.2 edition) Download v1.1 link
- fixed: OCR camera function currently FC (crash) (Mobireader.apk added)
- fixed: Contacts apk will be replaced in next update.
- fixed: HDMI through media player
- fixed: /mnt/sdcard mount issue
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.
Dexter_nlb said:
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.

It seems that many not being experienced users, still try to install and here is the instruction for installing the rom.

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?

If u know any app,lib,font mentioned above which is not safe to remove & any more apps,libs etc. which r safe to remove then tell me
This should debloat the ROM
Step 4 - If u want to push any app to system like Viper4Android , Camera etc. then do it now
Step 5- Install Link2SD
open menu
go to storage info & check out whether u have 50/100mb free in system space
Proceed only if u have 50/100+mb space in system
Now open Terminal & type su & enter to get root permissions
Now type odex
then choose option - all (if u have atlest free 100mb in system)
- frame (i dont exactly know the name but it will appear, but only choose
if u have 50mb in system
- sysapp (again i dont know exactly, but choose if u have 50mb in system)
(select anyone 1 option only according to conditions)
- then reboot or else apps will give FC's
This will increase RAM management & will give u 60mb+ in user available memory
Step 6 - Now install Performance Control.apk
Then use ur own setings for cpu/gpu
Then go to Memory settings/minffree presets & select very agressive or any other & set on boot
Below that enable KSM
Below that go to ZRam and choose 92mb(25%) and START & set on boot
now got to advanced SD Read Ahead and choose the one u want & set on boot
Then go to tools & rum Clean residual files & optimize databases
Now go to app settings & mark Use init.d script
this will INCREASE performance
Step 7 - Install Greenify & hibernate only those apps which u dont need to run in background
i use to hibernate all the apps
then go to menu & disable auto hibernation as it dont affect anything which keeps 4-5mb free in ram
this will Increase Battery life & decrease RAM usage
Step 8 - Install Xbooster
choose gaming mode
go to settings - apply it on boot
scheduled boost 20min
lock launcher
kill system apps
This will give u more free RAM when u need
Tips - 1.Regularly Greenify apps like after using an app (add shortcut to homescreen)
2.Regularly use xbooster/quick boost (add shortcut to homescreen)
3.Reboot at least once a day
4.Use STAMINA mode & all other options on for good battery life
5.Use link2SD to move apps to SDcard & get free user space
This guide will drastically improve performance & smoothness without any conflicts
I will Add more as i remember
Suggestions are most welcome
