I'm looking to try out an android build. Can someone recommend a build to use that's easy to set up. I need data, and gps to work. Also would I be able to flash back to WM if I don't like the build?
Not sure of an Android build to meet your needs, though I would like it too!
To flash back to WM is easy once I did a lot of reading. Just power your phone off, then turn power on with the camera button depressed too. This brings up the bootloader screen, then just flash your favourite WM ROM.

Hi ski21,
I was in your shoes just a few weeks ago. I now have a great Android build running on my Touch (Bell Mobility). Everything works and it “feels” like a native build like it was meant for this device.
With any of the Android builds you can always flash back to Windows Mobile. You just need to make sure you have an up-to-date (ie. GPS enabled) Windows Mobile ROM to return to. I am with Bell and use the most recent official Bell update so I can go back to a “supported” configuration.
If you have never flashed a custom Windows ROM before then you will need to install the “HardSPL” provided by ImCoKeMaN. This is an alternate boot loader that allows you to flash unsigned (non-official) ROMs. This is really the key to doing anything cool with your Vogue. Without this you can only every install an official ROM released by your carrier. I recommend version 2.31. If you have installed a custom Windows ROM before then you have already done this. You can find the information on this over at PPCGeeks in the link below:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370
Once you have the CoKe SPL 2.31 installed you will be able to flash any custom ROMs including Android builds. Flashing Android is a little different then flashing Windows ROMs. You will need a bunch of files:
First things first, you will need a copy of the ROMUpdateUtility. This is a Windows program that you use for flashing your Vogue. You can get this here:
http://cid-e5302e6abd554cb9.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/XDA/ROMUpdateUtility.rar
Download and unpack this into a folder called ROMUpdateUtility.
Next you will need a Linux kernel with a screen size (resolution) appropriate for your device. This is the one I am using and it works great in conjunction with the ROM I am going to suggest next.
http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/voguimg-240x320-17-12-09.nbh
Download this file, copy it to the folder you unpacked the ROMUpdateUtility in. Rename it to RUU_signed.nbh.
Next you will need to download some “base files” as well as a system image (which is the main ROM). You copy these files to the SD card on the Vogue. You can get the “base files” here:
http://cid-e5302e6abd554cb9.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/XDA/Androidstuff.rar
You will then need to select your favorite Android build. I am using plemen's “Eclair themed” build. You can get this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591104
Rename the system file you download to system.sqsh when you copy it to your SD card. Also download the data.img file and place it on your SD card (should be provided in the thread that you get the build itself from). In the “end” (just before you flash) you should have the following files sitting in the root of your SD card:
datafstonand
rootfstonand
systemfstonand
rootfs.img
data.img
system.sqsh (or system.img depending on the build you download)
Then you put your Vogue into boot loader mode. You do this by holding down the power & camera buttons and pressing the reset button with the stylus. Then run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe from your ROMUpdateUtility folder.
That just about covers it I think. I am a little unclear what all these different parts do but this should get Android 1.6 (if you download plemen's build) up and running on your Vogue. Enjoy.
Best regards,
The Fish
Excellent directions, thank you. I followed them but it comes up as T-Mobile when it loaded Android. I think I messed up the rootfs.img, this i got from the http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/ plemen's “Eclair themed” build page. Any idea where I went wrong, for I am also a Bell user.

that's normal
Well if it's normal then there's a problem. It will not let me connect, shows 2 bars, but says I have no network so I cannot connect to Google. If thefish123 is connected on Bell then I must have something wrong. I followed the directions exactly, but was somewhat unsure over the rootfs.img file for it is not too specific in the directions??? Anyway, flashed back again to NSFans. I have had another Android working but could not get tethering working correctly, I was hoping this one might do it. Using PDnet it just wouldn't work for me.
Also, sorry ski21, wasn't my intention to hijack your thread.

Hi krwilson,
It is indeed normal for plemen's build to show T-Mobile. It was most likely extracted from a T-Mobile device at some point. However when you drag the notification area down from the top of the screen it should show Bell Mobility. Just slide your finger from the top of the screen down as if dragging the top bar down.
I also did not have data immediately after flashing plemen's build. I did a soft reset and then it worked perfectly. Regarding the rootfs.img... I downloaded the rootfs.img mentioned a little further into the same thread that mentions an update to get GPS working under Android.
If it shows that you have reception the first thing to try is calling *BELL and see if you get the “your test call was successful” message. If so then you are on the network.
The next thing is a data issue. I would suggest poking your stylus in the reset hole and rebooting. That solved it for me.
Also, I had issues with missing calls on some Android builds (most notably the cupcake 1.5 build). My phone would not ring till 3 or 4 rings on the other end and then very quickly go to voice mail. These issues have disappeared using plemen's “ 1.6 build.
I have everything working except perhaps maybe Bluetooth (not sure I don't really use it). The phone works fine as a phone (calls come through), GPS and data all work. I am very pleased with it.
Best regards,
The Fish
Thank you for the followup.................IT WORKS beautifully! I have not tested BlueTooth yet, no big deal to me either, but it tethers and it does work seamlessly, and fast...........as if it was made for our Vogues.

Sorry for that, I'll have a look tomorrow and see what's wrong

I'll make sure all menus work (including click me) and most of scripts work properly
//edit
The only reason I know of for it not working is because you have a space in your username for Windows. Fix will be up today

the click-me still not working for me on windows 7 x64
To get the patch work in windows 7 all you need to do
is place the "ThemePro" folder on you desktop!!
mine wasn't working either until i did that
nope still not working
then also try to enter the
"properties" of both the '.bat' files in the directory and play with the "compatibility" options.
hmmm, I don't see why it doesn't work, I'll do some research about x64 because it works fine x32
Can you post up the path to your desktop please (if you don't want to show username, replace with ** but if there's a space in your username include it clearly)
Found a better way of calling the other files, it will work with everyone
(sorry for issues VeeDubZ)
You will be able to run Theme-Pro from anywhere you want, no need to place on Desktop
The Work Directory will still be placed to Desktop by default, I'm adding an option to let you specify the directory you wish to put it
(e.g Where would you like to place your Work Directory?: C:\Users\shoey-n\My Documents)
The update will be up today, and I hope to merge most of Theme-Pro 3.0 features by tomorrow
Hi shoey-n,
Why do you use this command line in CLICK-ME.bat :
call "%homedrive%%homepath%\Desktop\ThemePro\menu.bat"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
instead of this one :
call "menu.bat"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
?
I had the same issue than VeeDubZ with the original click-me.bat and by using this command line, it solved it.
Cheers
Thanks for the suggestion, I just noticed that when I was testing out my new way of doing it. That way will be much easier. I'm updating it with that now
New version should be up tonight
//edit
Sorry guys, I've updated the script but haven't had time to upload ( internet is really slow, so it'll take about 15 minutes )
So I'll do a major update for the release tomorrow, just for you lot
thanks for the fix, no worries about the problems with it, i started using the linux version for now, your version will just save me rebooting to use that one.
my path is the standard path that a user would use without any spaces C:\Users\vaughn\
Thanks for the progress update, looking forward to the release.
V.
Alpha 3 is out, few changes and enhancements to this version
Been tested outside of ThemePro but not inside. Hopefully new method works (hopefully uploaded right one )
Added transparent notification drawer mod (uploading for themepro 3.1 Mac/Linux in 5mins, compiling it and adding to scripts right now)
Changelog is up on first post
alpha 3 broke it all for me... none of the options work, Cmd spits out an error about "er" not being a system variable, and not being able to find the directory...
That means I made a typo somewhere, the way I done it means I only have to check 2 files so should be easy to fix, thanks for reporting the bug, fix will be up in the morning

PLEASE READ THIS POST AND UNDERSTAND IT CLEARLY BEFORE USING THIS ROM!
Heyo,
This ROM is now a port of the Nexus S Gingerbread ROM leak for the HD2. I would like to make it clear that this ROM may be unstable and not for everyday use! Since we're using a version of Android designed for a different device, we may have issues. The leaked build I'm using is available here - some modding is required though.
Starting from 0.05, my builds come with a 96MB Data.img file to get you out of trouble. I will provide data.img files that are 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 768MB in size. You can make your own image via a terminal on Linux like this (don't type the dollar sign or the stuff behind it)
Code:
[email protected]:~$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/Android/folder/data.img bs=1M count=128M
[email protected]:~$ mke2fs /path/to/Android/folder/data.img
(answer 'y' to the question when mke2fs says "data.img is not a special block device, proceed? [y,n]")
Installation
Extract the "Android" folder in the ZIP file below to your MicroSD Card, pop it into your HD2, open File Explorer from WinMo, find the Android folder, tap CLRCAD.exe and then Haret.exe and watch the sparks fly.
For patches, extract the files in the patch archive to your MicroSD Card, overwriting any existing files.
Downloads
You can download the ROM from my server below. Please don't use download accelators, they will make my VPS cry...
LATEST VERSION IS 0.5, PLEASE DO NOT USE OLDER VERSIONS AS YOU WILL BE ASKED TO UPGRADE IF YOU SAY SOMETHING IS NOT WORKING ON THOSE OLDER BUILDS!
Version 0.01 > Get the goodness here! <
Version 0.02 (Patch only, download v0.01 first!) > Get the goodness here! <
Version 0.03 (Only a data.img for people who are having boot problems) > Get the goodness here! <
Version 0.05 > Get the goodness here! <
Version 0.05 requires 7-Zip to extract

v0.0.2 - 8/12/10 - Patch
+ Switched kernel to m-deejay's kernel for working 3G Connection, data should work.
+ Fast bootup speed.
[!] Black Screen of Death occurs if you allow the device to go to sleep.
NOTE: BSOD can be fixed temporarily, see below.
[!] Erratic behaviour occurs if you haven't PIN unlocked your SIM Card before booting this ROM.
[!] Can take a while to do things, ie. very laggy.
[!] Black screen after HTC logo, no android logo.
[!] Keyboard comes up as white space (?)

(Outdated) Checklist
WiFi? Not yet working.
BlueTooth? Not tested.

excellent work,at less we can have a try for 2.3,thanks.keep working on 2.3
As I've said, you won't get into the Android UI, but if you can confirm that the kernel is getting stuck at "init: untracked process X exited unexpectedly", that would be appreciated.
Nice work, thanks for sharing. The init.rc file you mention is linked to a pastebin link in the original dump thread. Should be easy to search.

With wifi on and doing some thinks, like smsing browsing, playing a game some minutes it lasted for about 11-12h.
I think if you having this rom in standby mode, it will propably last more than 12h, I haven't checked it.

Good luck!
Edit: I advice you to change rom in order to overclock your touch hd. Energy rom looks flashy but it's very slow (no offence).. I used it for quite a while.. but when changing rom I saw the real speed of touch hd!

I forgot to mention that I have Energyrom, but i agree with the previous post.
Google goggles works too and every other app!
Good luck!
Edit: I have checked it, this FRX06_Full_Bundle_25.3.2011 is a 24h build
note that with no wifi enabled.
And the first build that do not get that warm when wifi is enabled
I tried FRX06 too.. but it's not as fast as Froyo 2.2.1 CBV2.. You have to prepare you're sd card (making partitions and stuff; all explained here) but it's really worth it!

I'm using Froyo 2.2.1 CBV2. It's a good and stable rom. Cam & Wifi works. So you can play around with this rom while waiting for a good CyanogenMod 7 rom
Good luck!
Edit: I advice you to change rom in order to overclock your touch hd. Energy rom looks flashy but it's very slow (no offence).. I used it for quite a while.. but when changing rom I saw the real speed of touch hd!

You says to overclock my HTC HD, but that does not mean that changes (overclock) to speed procesor to burn it ? Like a procesor of Computer EX: procesor curent speed 1800 GHZ off 3000+ (procesor product AMD) but if i change speed of 2400 GHZ if posible to burn it, corect ?
Could also work a 2,4,6,7 months time, and then burn the procesor ?
I had an experience with the HTC Touch Diamond and burned to overclock the processor to 528 MHZ I went up to 688 MHZ, and after 2 weeks after he died (CPU burn, I find that to the guarantee, I have a friend who works HTC Service and that verdict has given me )
I am a little afraid to do overclock the HTC HD after I lived experience

I think bluetoth works too, I just started once and it founds other devices.
fast, and verry stable. I had it on for about 50h without any crash, after that i restarted due to wifi error.
With wifi on and doing some thinks, like smsing browsing, playing a game some minutes it lasted for about 11-12h.
I think if you having this rom in standby mode, it will propably last more than 12h, I haven't checked it.
With this rom and this rootfs, it works like a charm!

First of all XDAndroid will not replace WinMo completely, yet.
There's no need to do any overclocking. You can, but it might cause instability issues.
Also, there's not one package that just runs 'out of the box' on Blackstone (Touch HD).
They either have missing functionality (GPS, Google Apps, whatever) or you need to follow a certain installation procedure.
Check out if this works for you:
- Get the FRX06 bundle from the Touch Pro/Fuze thread, follow the installation guide there too, but...
- use the correct startup.txt and ts-calibration (attached to post)
- get the special Blackstone kernel and rootfs by g3rm0 (see my signature), and then with everything on the SD card...
- follow the steps i described and you should be a happy camper.

I have those partition on my 8GB card. But i dont know if that helps.
Look at this video on youtube, download that program and do exactly as he did.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCV7Eu1pjWQ&feature=related
And follow steps that hrk7474 said.
Thanks!
Yes, use that build first and than try to use Froyo 2.2.1 CBV2 ...
You've to find out what Froyo build is really working for you..
For FRX06 you don't have to make partition of your 8gb sd card
For Froyo 2.2.1 CBV2 you do.. but it works well and still faster than the FRX06 build..
You don't have to overclock your phone if you don't want to!
So it's up to you.. Android is not fully optimized for our blackstones yet.. most things will work... But it's not as fast as it should be.. That's why the overclocking can be handy!
But you'll have to find that out yourself... Good luck!

As I'm sure is described in the installation guide in the thread where you got the FRX06 bundle from, yes, the startup goes where haret is.
By the way, have you looked at this thread at all?
'Waiting for SD' is the 3rd question dealt with in the FAQ. The fix worked for me when i had the SD-card issue. (I later removed it from the startup and my SD has been working fine
I further advise you to read the other threads as well and use the search function, because if this is your first serious attempt to run XDAndroid on a Blackstone i seriously doubt there's anything you will run into that nobody has experienced or dealt with before.
Don't get me wrong, we're all glad to help out eachother, but most of the answers are all over the forums already.

There are two (tree) possible fixes for "Waiting for SD card" issue
1. Make sure it's formatted to FAT32 filesystem.
if that doesn't work than
2. Open startup.txt --> find set cmdline and add this: msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000 msmsdcc_nopwrsave
it that doesn't work either you can only try another card. My 8GB Transcend card refused to work so I had to buy an old class 2 SanDisk 2GB. Good thing they are dirt cheap now

same problem,the problem is the card 8Gb,thanks
Pff....
I tried all the above versions of Android and without any results, after restart back to windows mobile phone, why ??
My SD Card doesn't seem to work, why?
Most SD Cards are working, but if you the 'waiting for SDCard' message, you should try one of these fixes (and please let us know if it works)
Fix 1: Format your card with this tool http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/
Fix 2: Edit your startup.txt file and add these red entries to your cmdline:
set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmts_calib=0x395.0x3c9.0x79.0x77 clock-7x00.a11=500 msmvkeyb_toggle=off pmem.extra=1 gsensor_axis=-2,-1,3
msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000 msmsdcc_nopwrsave"
Fix 3: Tell your wife / girlfriend that you are about to make some modifications to her phone... change the ringtone and steal her old Class 2 SD Card to use with Android. She will never discover what you have done, and if she does, you'll be able to use Android to send texts to your former girlfriends ;-)

I have a big problem when you need to calibrate the screen ... but I do not look to the cross with calibrate the screen.
It`s Show me the screen and first cross calibration ( in top left corner ) for 2 seconds ( I do not see the calibration screen, how can I do if I can not see the calibration screen ? ) and then continues installing Android,after the installation is complet i can not use the touchscreen because is not calibrated.
I use Startup.txt and ts-Calibration,but .... no efect
Mention that the 8GB card is not working I found a 1GB card and it works
Or tell me how you've done and the steps that you made when you put the files on the card,
All Android versions have the same problem, HELP !!!!
Thanks
I think after the first corner the calibration spot will appear after that the other calibration spots wont show up, but just push each corner after you see the first top left cal.ponit, then efter when you have pushed all other corners and are about to push the top right corner push once again the top left corner then it should proceed as normal....Thats what i was expierenced with this FRX06 build.
Or just put calibriation file in the folder where haret is started, main folder. Startup file must also be there, both files is for your Blackstone. You will find Startup file in the STARTUPS folder and the calibrations file from the link below.
Here you have calibrations files for your blackstone:
