Read this also as it seems to answer, comment everything in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5308744&postcount=121
=================================================================================================
you can grab the build of 04 jan 2010 in my 4shared folder: techunter.4shared.com
=================================================================================================
Now a little explanation on how I proceeded:
3ways of doing it:
I/ Compile it yourself
-> not enough time didn't even tried but you can try here
II/ Download latest image
The packs you can have from sites are generally a stable android release. All the zImage and modules on msm-htc-android sites are all development packs, so choose wisely. Last update doesn't mean best update!
Prerequisite: create a dir name (for example) eclair_fs.
You can also put a Light Rom to make it boot faster or THIS ONE from yozgatg
a)===================
get the build package here:
Quoting this post (again its the main post for the Raphael/Blackstone/DIamond):

24.01.10 NEW BUILD STRIPPED
http://htcandroid.xland.cz/XDANDROID.24.01.10.7z
This build is completely stripped and only contains the crucial core files to run Android. All apps are within AndroidApps, so copy over the ones you need. Please read changelog for more details.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
extract all in eclair_fs/ on your hard drive
b)===================
(Optional if your package in a) already has the zImage) get the zImage here:
owziee said:
http://zimages.googlecode.com/svn/autobuild_system/htc-msm-android/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(autobuild files, thx for posting this!)
you should have something like zImage-modules-DATE_VER.tar
--go to eclair_fs/ and delete the modules-2.6.27-00330-f485082e.tar (name differ with version) and the "zImage" files.
--untar (with winrar or whatever) in your eclair_fs/ the two files.
--rename the zImage.00000000 (figures as the build date) in "zImage" (without quotes).
-- leave the modules-2.6.27-00710-g485083e.tar you have just extracted with the same name.
c)===================
go to eclair_fs/startup-configs and make sure you have a DIAM100.txt (or whatever DIAMx00 you have, retrieve DIAMx00.txt).
*if YES then delete eclair_fs/startup.txt and copy+rename the eclair_fs/startup-configs/DIAM100.txt to eclair_fs/startup.txt.
*if NO then google another package (the one from connect-utb should have one).
d)===================
optional: make your changes in startup.txt
e)===================
delete the data.img file if you have one (when you make changes in your zImage or system.sqsh you have to delete data.img).
f)===================
now your eclair_fs should look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
g)===================
upload at your formatted Internal storage on your diamond TO THE ROOT (without your subfolder eclair_fs)
h)===================
Some bugs are yet to be resolved so to make sure you won't have to reboot again, make sure under Windows Mobile you have:
-disabled the PinCode
-Enabled the GPRS Connection (it works for me without this step but sometime not)
-disabled the airplane mode (if you activated the GPRS you should't be in this mode ^^
-disable whatever special state you put your phone in.
i)===================
run /InternalStorage/Haret.exe
Format your internal storage once in fat32, you don't need to format it every time you change between build.
III/ Get custom build from Raphael or Blackstone etc...
there : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=601751
enjoy
FILE: 4shared.com (sry, the guy uploaded a new build fixing a bit the mic so I updated mine)
I uploaded different startup.txt (and Diam200.txt from jfran)

-If you have a problem with the PINCode being always wrong:
Go into WinMo and disable it.
-If you need your APN Profil:
check on your operator's website in the android page like for HTC Magic. exemple for SFR you can get the settings from sfr.fr under "My account" webpage of via their forum.
-Microphone too low?
known issue, sry.
-My version is too unstable?
download the package from Connect UTB and copy it directly into your storage card. Its the latest stable. The one I posted here is the latest dev.
- OMG where my battery went??
YES battery is the most important issue for now ^^
-Something go badly wrong, like messed up volume button or whatever
HARD RESET (assuming you did saved your contacts what so ever. I highly recommend saving your contacts by Gmail Exchange server (m.google.com) or with MS MyPhone.
jfran said:
I remembered someone asking about getting their outlook contacts onto their device, and noticed that in Contacts there is the option to import/export, so all you need to do is export contacts from Outlook and save the file to your root folder then open contacts in Android and import the csv file.
I came across the ability to program what function the end key can perform the options were along the lines -
1. close program
2. home page
3. close program and home page
4. do nothing
however, I cant seem to find the option and I am not sure if it was an application I was using or a setting function??? Anyone came across this?
Update The setting is in the Spare Parts App

But with the same procedure work also on Diamon?
(Sorry if it's a stupid question)
Thx
yes, it works...you just have to change the startup file acording to your device.
There is already a startup file for the diamond. This works very well
Dont expect it to be a complete replacement for windows just yet. GPS and Camera do not work but thats minor.
Is it possible to have Swedish keyboard?
Comments from testing?
Android not booting
Android does not boot on my device.It says "failed to find system.img on sdcard".Though a system.sqsh file is present in internal storage.I renamed it to system.img then too it fails with same error message.
interesting, anyone tested?
how about it's performance? smoother than windows 6.5?
mod please delete for double post...
Comments:
Best try for yourself. I found it to be a little annoying to use (much like most Linux machines i've used before). It sometimes seems a little laggy, and I couldnt work out how to turn my phone off since the power button just brings up a menu. Also my phone kept locking and I had to fiddle to get it unlocked again.
I'm not exactly sure how it runs on the phone. If it runs on top of my current rom then my experiences could be down to lack of RAM. When I did a soft reset my Windows ROM booted up and I've been using that until I can get a chance to play again.
Also, I am on O2 UK. I must need to get my 3G settings from somewhere because I couldnt get on the internet under linux.
I will definately be playing some more and will see about using it as a propper phone OS, once I get my contacts on my sim, and I get WWW working. It's very good IMO
It works god but it needs more work. there are problems to get GPRS to work
One good thing is that after a reboot it boots on WM, so you could try android and have your Windows back after a reboot =)
Can't get SMS to work, tried ATcommander.
dieselboy : To turn off the phone, just hold the End button.
so i got it on my diamond and it works rly fine!
is there any way to include htc sense in the android?
It doesn't boot with me.
I use a custom WM6.1 ROM (AZTOR WWE).
I copied all files and updates to the internal storage.
When I start HaRET from the explorer it shows a progressbar saying:
HaRET: Booting Linux ...
on the bottom of my screen is a second titlebar (from Windows) that shows me a Windows Start button, the text 'HaRET Version...' , a keyboard and all the icons I have in my titlebar (reception, volume, 3G icon...)
The progressbar doesn't get past (about) 95% and then everything freezes.
Anyone any idea? Do I need to stop TouchFlo or something?
GPRS and WIFI are unable to work.
Hang on a moment.
So this is now working in the sense that I can make a call and the microphone and ear piece now work?
I tried Android a few months ago and the only benefit I could see was that it ran and loaded but none of the phone hadrware was usable or a ***** to get gprs working.

WiFi works when the network you want to connect to has WPA2 key encryption.
Cool!
Ok A list of what keys do what would be handy.
The menu (Home Button I'm assuming)Button doesn't seem to do anything when the Phone auto locks..
GPS work ?

So far I've figured out that the End Key is the power button; it puts it to sleep (which takes a while to wake up from).
The power button is Home or whatever it's called on Android; it takes you to the desktop.
Home key is menu button and is used to unlock, you can wake the phone up with either power button or menu button but then menu to unlock, sometimes you have to press it a couple of times.
Call button still seems to be call; it brings up the call log from the desktop.
I'm liking what I've seen so far; it's very intuitive. I haven't got 3G internet working though :-(.
API Demos
The simple bitmap ones work but Opengl ones just make the phone crash.
I can't wait to see this on a phone with the Tegra chip on.
Don't understand why When I set the sound to Vibrate. Bejewed still plays sound. It's Cool though
I accidentally started the Voice dialler which also crashed but it's cool. GPRS Data is working
WPA2 Wifi cool!
Gyro Sensors working

Hi and welcome to my ROM thread. This is RC2 (release candidate 2) of my Snap based ROM for the Excalibur (Dash, Dopod, etc).
The XIP (kernel) and SYS (main system files) are directly ported from HTC newest handset, the Snap.
This ROM includes only the stock applications for now (with the exception of a few things, like omapclockset and celetask) as it's meant to be a community based ROM where we can ALL work together, chip in and make suggestions to make the fastest and best ROM for the Excalibur.
To activate the weather panel, use the Activate Weather.cab in the "\My documents" folder on the phone and reboot.
The pagepool is set at 8 megs (up from the stock 4) for better speed and general "snappiness". You can lower it yourself by using the pagepool_changer application on the ROM's nbh file. I like mine at 8 and could care less about available RAM as long as the phone is fast and responsive
I will add more as more feedback is provided, but for now let's test this first release and see how it performs I hope you like it.

Addes startup sound
Removed SQM modules
Clockontop 12 hour put in
Changeg some defauly jogbar settings (one being hiding the icon)
Pagepool changed back to 9 (give me feedback on this.. is the speed worth the decrease in RAM)?
Added IESettings in Settings
Added back Enterprise and VPN features
Added HTC Startup Sound
jogbar icon hidden now
IE6 is now in the ROM with lots more options to play with
Added SMS inbox threading to switch from classic/threaded under Tweaks
-------------------------------------------------------
Release 50709a
fixed commmmanager links on homescreen
fixed bluetooth and wifi problems
menu freezing issues gone
added back working htc album (thanks ookba)

INSTRUCTIONS for flashing:
You can look at this great guide found here or you can follow my instructions below...
Hell, look at both to make sure you're doing this right!!
1. Run Auto.bat included in the archive. It should resent a black command prompt window.
2. Make sure you remove your storage card from the phone before the next steps.
3 .Follow the instructions in the black window. Do NOT reboot when the SDA unlocker tells you to reboot the phone. It's not necessary.
4. You might get a prompt asking you if you want to run the spl program. Just say yes. At that point you should get a white screen.
5. If for any reason you're not seeing a white screen, you did something wrong and you need to try again.
6. Flash the ROM following the instructions in the flashing utility.
You can expect the phone to be "stuck" on the green windows mobile screen for about 2 1/2 minutes the first time. After that, it should only take about 40-45 seconds for the phone to reboot.
INSTRUCTIONS for recovery in case something goes wrong:
Turn your phone completely off. While pushing the camera button, plug in your usb cable. The tricolor, bootloader screen will come up and you can flash your regular OEM ROM which can be downloaded from one of the stickies.
I recommend flashing the modified bootloader made by jockeyw2001. It's attached to the third post.
What it does is, it CID unlocks your phone, so you don't have to use the softSPL everytime you want to flash a ROM. It also makes recovery from a bad flash much easier, where you dont have to hunt for your original manufacturer's ROM to load in order to resurect the phone.

Nice! Now if only my replacement battery would get here already!
Two questions... (1) what version of Java is it running, (2) does Innercircle work?
the transparency menu looks pretty slick!
Thanks a lot NRGZ28!!
For bringing a new life to S621!
Will test and report soon as I can...
Cheers,
Thanks NRGZ28 !

Tnx for this rom NRGZ28!
Just one things:
1) How about the clock into top bar? (into left of battery when i go into options....);
2) Can u add a CHOME Slim?
Tnx in advance for the answer!
I will add those if I can find them anymore. Anybody got a cab for the am/pm version of clockontop ?
Hi NRGZ,
I've been using your ROM's for a while, this looks fine, a couple of issues,
1- No bluetooth
2- Wifi doesn't work, wifiinit is on the startup but once you try to activate it hangs in there
This if you use the connection manager on the panel if you go to the start menu and use the connection manager it works fine both of them
Thanks for your hard work
Enrique
Sadly I don't have an operable phone to test at the moment... to those of you who have flashed... how does it run compared to the Rose roms?
good
its real good but there is one thing you cant add my favs anymore like 1.7 and other thing that we could add before from chome?????
few minutes after first flash and look...
Looks really great Boot fast, seeking network fast, ROM fast as hell
Settings>Phone>Band select didn't work
Frozen when Menu>Contacts>Add contact, after remove battery works fine.
After change HTC Panel to Sliding panel and restart, change back to HTC Panel in 5 min...
BTW seems to be great ROM
My Regards
Great Work
This is by far the most asthetically pleasing rom i have used yet. i have to use my phone for business so have already flashed back for now but i cant wait for the final realease ha. as for bugs the only ones i found were that streaming media had no visual when playing and i could not get a data conection when trying to use opera mini but ie worked fine.Oh and also i could not use the NRG rinku cab either just fyi.

Yeah, there's no band select because this isn't a 3G phone, so there's no bands to select really. I will remove that option in the next version
Flashing now. I'll report with any issues that I find. Looks great though.
Since you're taking input... is there any chance you could include BaseHue, Resco Explorer and the SMSToolPack? The first two I use extensively, and the SMSToolPack would just be a "nice to have" since we all love flashing ROMs so much.
Also, does the HTC Sliding Panel homescreen pull the panel icons from bronzeres.dll?
On a sidenote, I actually took a look at your ROMs for the Raphael and was floored. I'm not surprised to see such an aesthetically pleasing ROM find it's way to our phones.
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

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.
[Satus ROM] R3.0a [RELOADED] Windows Phone 6.5.5 & Sense 2.5 1921 ~ Resembles HTC ROM
Satus ROM R3.0a (Reloaded Edition)
Windows Phone 6.5.5 with HTC Sense 2.5 b1921 (Reduced Edition)
Forget everything about Windows Phone 6.5 and SatusROM 2.7 series.Introducing Windows Phone 6.5.5 with Satus ROM R3.0a
Stable, Ultra Fast, and Extremely Responsive
Here we go again. Sorry about the earlier version with unstable dailer and a bumpy start. The Reloaded Edition comes with the same dailer in ROM 2.7a which I managed to port so that it work with Windows Phone 6.5.5 series. This Dailer is true VGA dailer so there would be no scroll-bar and there is no need to use phcanvga.exe file to position the dailer like in WVGA port dailer. Any issues, problems, or suggestions, please reply to this thread. MTTY is highly recommended.
This is a full-featured ROM. An attempt to replicate the look and feel of the HTC official ROM because HTC stopped supporting Diamond series. Users who look for customization or cheesy modifications, please use other ROMs. Those who want and enable Sense 2.5 should expect high memory consumption. Do Not Complain about memory with Sense. Thanks.

[What's new?]
1. Windows Phone 6.5.5
2. Fixed Missing Input ControlPanel Bug
3. Fixed LockScreen.
4. New PhoneCanvas now works with Windows Phones 6.5.5. This is so hard. Thanks god.
5. New Clean RAM now intergrate more deeply into the ROM.
6. Clean RAM now works well with the ROM. No more Messaging triggering while cleaning the RAM.
7. New ArkSwitch TaskManager -> Replace HTC Task Manager (no longer works in 6.5.5)
8. Quad Taskbar Enhancements
9. HTC Sensor SDK4 now works 95%.
10. Reduced Edition of Sense 2.5 (without Internet and Twitter Tabs)
Reason: a necessary move for 6.5.5
11. Improved Storage 70MB Free with both Titanium and HTC Sense.
12. Improved RAM.
13. Now, you can arrange icon in start menu by hold the icon then drag to other location.
14. New Welcome Screen.
15. Fixed all wrong icon in Control Panel.
16. Tweaks the ROM so that it is really fast, stable, and extremely responsive. The fastest ROM I have ever released. This put 2.7a to shame.
17. Fixed Dailer Issues.
[Requirements]
1. HardSPL is absolutely needed. Flashing without HardSPL may damage or brick your phone
2. Any GSM HTC Touch Diamond including US Unlocked Edition.
3. MTTY task 29 is highly recommended before flashing the ROM. This solves all weird problem.
[Disclaimers]
1. No Support, No Warranty, I only answer questions and occasionally help.
2. I am not responsible for any damage happen to your phone. Use at your own risk.
[Known Issues]
1. HTC Volume Control (No Longer Work with 6.5.5) - Under Research
Alternative solution is SetVolume App here on XDA. This is similar to HTC Volume Control.
I think Windows Phones Volume Control is enough to use, it is ugly though but saves RAM.
2. HTC Sensor SDK 4: 95% Working. G-Sensor works perfectly. But, Screen Rotation function
does not work with 6.5.5 fully. Tested Applications that automatically rotates are:
Album, Sense, IE Mobile, Resco Photo Album
If you want full screen rotation, please try third party solution such as FlipIt, GSen, etc.
I am waiting for HTC solution which is soon to be released.
3. After flashing or soft reset, please allow a moment for the ROM to complete it start up task.
Don't jump in and use and blame that the ROM is slow and unresponsive.
4. Install Google Maps and Opera by yourself. They are intentionally left out so you can obtain the
latest version. Especially, Opera 10 now allows you saving a bunch of device memory by installing
to Internal Storage. Highly recommend using Opera 10.
5. Titanium will be default because it consumes significantly less memory. Like Sense 2.5? Enable
in Settings -> Today
6. Sense 2.5 easily consumes all memory. Luckily Sense 2.5 consists of many modules. Therefore,
you can have a good experience with sense 2.5 by disabling unused or uninterested tabs.
The top candidate Tabs to be disabled are: Music, Picture (Photo). Each of them alone consumes
5MB+ of RAM.
7. HTC Message:
a) When writing a new message, you can add as many recipients as you like at the To: Field. Just press
that field, then type in the person name, then choose him or her. Repeat again for another recipient
until done. The Menu -> Add Recipient is not working right now due to limitation in the ported version.
But that is the solution.
8. MMS Server Settings:
Because Connection Setup 3.1 ported is not working well and in big size. Therefore, it cannot be used
to cook this rom. To use MMS with HTC Message, you have to manually copied MMS Server Settings to HTC
Message.
1st Step: Go to inbox of an email account, press Menu button, scroll up then choose MMS Option, Then
choose Servers Tab, Click on the MMS Name in the box to show the settings, copy everything to a piece
of paper.
2nd Step: Now open HTC Message, Menu -> Settings -> Options -> Press Menu Button Again -> MMS Server
-> Press on [+] to add a new MMS Server Settings -> Type in all info copied earlier -> Press Done ->
Now Set your new MMS Server as default.
9. Want Original Windows Phone 6.5.5 SMS Inbox?
There is a cab that can disable HTC Message. Search "Sense 2.5 1921" thread. It is in 4-5th posts.
10. Want to change Keyboard?
Well, touch the Keyboard Icon in the lower bar, hold for 2 seconds, release, then a window will pop
up, allow you to change keyboard.
11. Want to use original sms client?
It can be done by a registry tweaks. There is a cab here some where here on XDA that can disable HTC Message.

woooow i think the sense rom is a bad 1; 13 mb free RAM
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
13MB (80-90% mem consumption) is when you have everything full load on with Photo and Music on. Each of them costs you 5MB+. Total 10MB+. If you disable Music and Photo. You get 26 MB free.
To use Sense and want 40MB to 60MB free? either you never use sense or you must be dreaming. Please use other ROM then.

Just installed this rom and love how fast it is, was using Chris101a 2012 rom before but I had to do some customisation to it then had to flash again .
Got a problem with this thos that after every soft reset the phone hard resets it self, might be that i need to mtty one something so will have a search about for some info.
Thanks for your hard work on the rom, love the titanium, with htc extras. perfect combination if you ask me.
Just did a hard reset with MTTY and reflash and seems to have fixed it! Ignore my post

I test this dailer at hard reset. The dailer works fine. I don't notice any problem. I am not sure that there is any third party software that causes the problem you encountered. So be careful with old software out there which may replace system resources.
The dailer is a ported version of WVGA device. I am still researching and working on it to make it perfect all the time. From my knowledge about this dailer, Here are possible solution:
1) soft-reset to cure the problem. After soft-reset allows a moment for the all software to loaded at startup.
2) Or you can try to run this link \Windows\_phcanvga.lnk (it is in the second place in File Explorer - Windows Folder) -> This shortcut run the positioning software for the dailer. The idea is too restart the positioning software. When you tap to run it, it will show "Terminated .." message. That means the software is shut down. Then, you need to run it again. The dailer will work well again.
3) If it still does not work, hard reset or use other dailer such as Yota Phone Dailer which can be found here on XDA.

You need to choose the Band that suitable for your country 3G network. But, you phone needs to support that band. It is all about your phone's radio.
@satus:
good rom - but HTC Message is so terrible ( with me ).
I have more than 200 messages with one person- after recover with pim-backup, it take me a long time to view all messages -but they look like mess ( overlap graphic with text ) and unreadable.
I think that's htc message's fault - not yours - but I must change to another rom.

Android on your Windows Mobile HTC Device...
Supports Blackstone, Diamond, Diamond 500, Fuze, Raphael, Raphael 800, Rhodium, Tilt 2 & Topaz
This thread is dedicated to FroYo, and NOT Eclair releases!
First things first, this post is PURELY an instruction guide for noobies that aims to reflect the latest status and downloads (give or take a day).
I am not an Android developer, I do not create any of this software... this is done by far more talented people than I. This thread is purely to collate the latest info for Android on Windows Mobile HTC devices and make deploying Android on your device as simple as possible.
If you have new information that should be added to the guide (and is relevant for ALL folks) then feel free to add to the thread and I'll update the OP frequently.
These opening few posts should have ALL the latest info you need to get started (no need to trawl through the threads).
The only time you 'might' need to look in the thread is for 'breaking news' info that is no more than a day old...i.e. The Opening Post is the place!
Credits: There are too many to mention, and many are unknown, but basically the guys poring Android to our devices should be thanked, along with all those making the effort to help others test, document, or use their work (along with those who provide answers to the same questions, time and time again). These are the guys who deserve the credit. From memory...

Latest Update: 03 Sep 2010 (V1.6)
InitRD - 20100813-b11116a
Rootfs - 20100828-c29a486
System - XDAndroid 2.2.AOSP.3.9.10.RC.2.2
Kernel - 20100830_01302 (no debugging)
Headset support - Credits to Oliwe
3D support for Blackstone/Diamond/Raphael (Rhodium/Topaz have no 3D)- Credits to Oliwe
Gallery working - Credits to Oliwe
Touchscreen Calibration is back! During first clean install, touch each of the five calibration points CAREFULLY to calibrate your screen before installation completes. Plus, general touchscreen fixes and power off support - Credits to Oliwe
Back to basics System... stock Android system.
Takes about 5 mins usage before the system starts to speed up, so expect it to be a little sluggish for the first 5 mins.
None 3D devices may not show boot screen, so please be patient during install (screen will show black)
I'd advise that once installed, you also launch SpareParts, and configure the window animations etc to 'fast'
There is a chance that after installation, some Startup.txt settings MAY be incorrect for your device. If you discover any mistake, PLEASE let me know, I will correct asap. I need your help on this guys.
How To Install (CAB Version)
Step 1 - Prepare your SD Card
Find a nice clean SD card to load Android on.
You can either format your card to get it entirely clean, or you can leave all the files you may already have on there.
*Warning* - If you have valuable data on your card, back it up. Android is usually safe, but if you can't afford to lose the data on your card, don't risk it!
Some cards have difficulty working, there is a POSSIBILITY this is due to the formatting of the card. If in doubt, format to FAT32, not FAT16
Step 2 - Download and install the CAB
Download and install the following 'full package' cab (a collection of ALL the files you'll need to run Android on your device) by clicking the XDAndroid Cab button below.
You MUST install on the Storage Card. The cab file will take a couple of minutes to install Android. Please be patient.
For those that are interested the cab files does the following:
- Installs Android in the root of the SD Card
- Deploys the correct Startup.txt for the device (the user can choose their device type)
- Adds a high res icon for Android in the root of the SD Card
- Installs a shortcut in Program Files named "Android" (launches Haret.exe)
- Installs the high res icon in the registry for WM6.5 users
Step 3 - Run Android
Android is now installed... So launch 'Android' from your Program Files menu in WinMo. Your phone should reboot into Android with 2 quick vibrations.
Have patience... the first time you do this can take a LONG time (3 mins or more). During the first boot on SOME devices, you will be asked to calibrate the screen. This is very similar to Windows Mobile screen calibration (except it's in text mode).
The reason the first boot takes longer is that Android is 'preparing' your device for the first time.
How To Install (ZIP Version)
Step 1 - Prepare your SD Card
Find a nice clean SD card to load Android on.
You can either format your card to get it entirely clean, or you can leave all the files you may already have on there.
*Warning* - If you have valuable data on your card, back it up. Android is usually safe, but if you can't afford to lose the data on your card, don't risk it!
Some cards have difficulty working, there is a POSSIBILITY this is due to the formatting of the card. If in doubt, format to FAT32, not FAT16
Step 2 - Download and extract the ZIP
Download and install the following 'full package' zip(a collection of ALL the files you'll need to run Android on your device) by clicking the XDAndroid zip button below.
You MUST unzip to the ROOT of the Storage Card. The zip file will take a short while to extract. Please be patient.
Once you've extracted the zip:
- Click Auto-Setup.exe to configure XDAndroid for your particular device
Step 3 - Run Android
Android is now installed... So launch 'Android' from your Program Files menu in WinMo. Your phone should reboot into Android with 2 quick vibrations.
Have patience... the first time you do this can take a LONG time (3 mins or more). During the first boot on SOME devices, you will be asked to calibrate the screen. This is very similar to Windows Mobile screen calibration (except it's in text mode).
The reason the first boot takes longer is that Android is 'preparing' your device for the first time.
If you want to exit Android and go back to Windows Mobile, then you need to shut down / reboot. To do so with the latest Android releases, hold down the 'end call' button until you see a menu appear.
If this fails to work, then the only option is remove the battery or press the reset button.
Known Issues
Many things are still not working properly, and the developers are fully aware of 99% of them.
SDCard - Most SDCards 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 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 ;-)
SDCard - A few users have claimed to have had trouble using their SD Cards after installing XDAndroid. Some of those have reformatted the SD Card, and it worked, some couldn't recover it. This is a minority of users, but be warned.
Camera - Not working
GPS - working
Battery Status - Highly problematic for most users (don't trust the capacity Android tells you, it's simply up and down a lot, and highly inaccurate)
WiFi - Working for most people, suspected to cause slight heat, definitely drains the battery faster than WinMo.
Audio - Speaker working for most people, microphone can have issues
Deep Sleep - Working for most people, but can have issues waking up (sometimes, it will not wake up)
GPRS - Working
3G - Working for most
PIN Code - Unknown
GSensor - Working (Screen only handles 0 and 270 degrees)
Bluetooth - Experimentally working (don't expect too much, but it's working for a number of users)
OpenGL ES - 'should' be working but only for Blackstone... more to follow soon
USB - Supported, but will NOT operate in mass storage mode. You can charge via USB and you can debug, but forget accessing your files by it.
Headphone Socket - Semi working (see FAQ for details on how to make it work)
Application Errors: It's very common to see 'Application (xxxxxx) is not responding: Force Close or Wait'. Click wait. I do not know the precise reason for this, but from what I can gather, it COULD be related to the slow speed of the SD Card causing the app response times to JUST be a little too slow for Android's liking, thus causing the message. This seems to happen more after bootup or wakeup when the device is busy doing stuff in the background.
Cannot choose ringtones: This is believed to be caused by the media scanner failing (due to discovering some filenames with none English characters). The best option of all is to use a CLEAN SD Card. But, if you insist on hosting other files on the same SD Card, you MUST make sure they have English character filenames.

Zip now available
Cab will be here in the next hour... but...
This is major move from Eclair to FroYo, and it's slightly slower than the Eclair release (so far).
This is normal though, since many of the Eclair release issues where ironed out, but with FroYo we take a small step backwards before we can progress again...
This release is VERY untested... I used it for 30 mins on a Blackstone only... no other devices tested yet
There is newer system version

Hi,
many thanks for quick explanation and I'm sorry for so quick reply
Will be Sense UI included in this build?
Or where can I get Sense UI for Android?
Many thanks
looks like just an update from 2.1 to 2.2 - no bug-fixes or new working features, right?
downloading now to have a play
OMFG!! YES!!
android 2.2 has calendar sync to exchange (2007) natively!. this release has hammered yet another nail into WM coffin!
also it looks like my 2.1 install was broken - seems noticably faster and touchscreen seems to be working a bit more predicably.
sorry but where is the file.
:-D First post, Step 2 -> Biiig black button
sorry being a noob, all done and running.

No it does not have Sense. Why would you want it?
You can get virtually all the same widgets from other sources. Sense is a massive resource drain (esp on XDAndroid), and on non 3D supported hardware
If you want the flipclock, you can get it from multiple places, the wallpaper, the wallpaper, and similar widgets are all floating around too.

FROYO x RED camera Install
THANKS TO bassiebal
So I noticed there wasnt any tutorial on how to install it and you just had to search all the posts in the froyo x thread to figure it out. Now I have done it this way.Im sure there are tons of other ways.But this one workes for me and I just want to share it. I will try to keep it up to date so everybody can install android on their blackstone.
All credits to Tiad8 and other developers this is not my build!
special thanks to TRNSLN who helped me install froyo so I can help you

Chapters of this tutorial:
[1]Formatting SD card
[2]Installing Froyo X red
[3]Installing Camera
[4]Finishing up
Downloads
1 Froyo X Red http://www.multiupload.com/16UTFCYLTA
2 kernel+libs http://www.multiupload.com/YGVM8VELPV
3 Haret+Startup.txt-Ts-Calibration http://www.multiupload.com/33Z52W8L14
4 If having problems with booting android try this startup.txt
[1]Formatting SD card
Easy as pie.
put your memory card in a sd card reader (your blackstone will do fine) and plug it in your pc/laptop.
open My pc and look for your memory card and right click on it.
Click Format
http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/3646/16774455.png
Ok great Sd card is formatted and ready to go. no lets move on..
[2]Installing froyo X Red /B]
ok first things first download Froyo X Red and Haret+Startup.txt-Ts-Calibration.
Then unpack Froyo X Red to the root of your memory card(root means on your memory card not in an folder on your memory card)
Then open up Haret+Startup.txt-Ts-Calibration and copy all the files to the root of your memory card.
Now unmount your Blackstone or Sd card reader from your pc.Put the Sd card in your blackstone(if it isnt already there) navigate to your storage card and open the file Haret
Now it shoud just give you a bunch of text and a little linux penguin let it load for a while(note: It coud take some minutes so dont think it wont boot)
it shoud boot. now follow the set-up and sync your google account.then turn off your blackstone and reboot it.so it boots in windows mobile again.when its in windows mobile go to the next step!
[3]Installing Camera
so android working accordingly everything set up but still no camera..
its time to change that
download kernel+libs
simply unpack the zip to your memory card..
overwrite zImage
thats that your done. enjoy android with working camera!
[4]Finishing up
this isnt really a neccesary step but I do recommend it.
open up spare parts and set the Window animation and Transition animation to Fast
and your done! have fun with your brand new Android phone..
dont forget to check this thread for updates!
Ts-calib for Blackstone. Rmove extension and put it in your andboot folder.
You will also need the "lib_camera" folder in the root of your SD-Card for camera to function. This is missing in this ROM distribution, but you can find the link for it in the first post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883966
Is this FroyoX build of yours still based on the Huawei U8150 from Neopeek? Just wondering of curiosity.
Hello,
I just tried with the 3 different camera modules, and with and without oc.
I used calibration from this thread and also from an older install of mine.
Find attached my STARTUP.txt.
I always have the same result.
Haret Booting OK
Passing Boot animation OK
Unlock SIM card OK
Then during the setup process, after clicking on the droid, it freezes and the image stay put, I can not do anything but soft reset. It does it at different stages: Time setup, or google account setup, or location setup...
If there is a way I can give you more information about what's going on please ask.
Cheers,
ok for those who are having crashes from setup screen: THIS IS WHAT WORKED FOR ME ON MY BLACKSTONE AND MY WORK WITH OTHER DEVICES!!
OPTION (1)
1) WHEN YOU REACH SETUP SCREEN REMOVE SIM CARD ONLY.....NOT BATTERY!
2) NOW CARRY ON WITH SETUP SCREEN AND SKIP EVERYTHING IT MAY FREEZE FOR 5SEC OR SO JUST WAIT!
3) NOW YOUR AT HOME SCREEN NAVIGATE TO (SETTINGS, WIRELESS & NETWORKS, MOBILE NETWORKS, ACCESS POINT NAME.......CHOOSE YOUR PROVIDER!
4) NOW THAT YOU HAVE PROVIDER AND IT HAS A GREEN DOT TO THE RIGHT OF IT YOU NEED TO POWER OFF YOUR DEVICE!
5) REPLACE YOUR SIM CARD AND POWER UP IN WM AND THEN RUN HARET AND YOU SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO WITH NO FREEZING IF YOU HAVE THE 3G ICON SHOW IN YOUR STATUS BAR AT THE TOP!!
OPTION (2)
THIS REQUIRES SPEED BUT WILL WORK BUT YOU HAVE TO BE FAST YOU MAY HAVE TO REBOOT LEAST 3 TIME BECAUSE IT MAY FREEZE!
BOOT HARET WHEN YOU REACH SETUP SCREEN THIS TIME LEAVE SIM CARD IN BUT TRY TO SKIP EVERYTHING AS QUICK AS U CAN, TO GET TO HOME SCREEN, IF YOU MANAGE TO GET TO HOME SCREEN THATS THE SETUP PROCESS DONE, IF YOUR PHONE FREEZES RESTART IT AGAIN YOU SHOULD BE AT HOME SCREEN THIS TIME, YOU NEED TO GO TO (SETTINGS, WIRELESS & NETWORKS, MOBILE NETWORKS, ACCESS POINT NAME.......CHOOSE YOUR PROVIDER THEN GO BACK 1 THEN GO TO NETWORK OPERATORS AND SELECT AUTOMATICALLY IT WILL SEARCH THEN AFTER 10 SECONDS FREEZE...........REBOOT AND YOU SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO! (NOTE YOU SHOULD DO THIS QUICKLY FROM WHEN YOUR HOME SHOWS HOME SCREEN BECAUSE IT WILL FREEZE WITHIN 40 SECONDS)
i know it alot of messing around but its worth it,........if you want to try this build out because its fast fast fast!!!!!
hope it works for you all
These issues are been delt with ive been told in the nxt update............no camera working at the moment
Thank you, that helped.
Now testing other functionalities.
I changed end button mapping to "back home" as it seems it had same mapping as power button initialiy. I also put animations and transitions to fast.
I synchronized my google account and gmail/contacts/agenda are fine.
I'll keep you up to date. But, so far, this is definitely the best versions I ever tested. It is amazingly fast!
This is awesome work!
UPDATE1:
- Wifi : not OK.
This is a shame because as I do not have data plan, it means I can not download apps from the market without wifi, and I would really like to download some apps. I would really appreciate a fix!
- Gallery: OK
- SMS receive and send: OK
- Camera: Not OK
- Music Player: Partially OK because there audio stuttering (note: is this applicable to this version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905085&page=4)
Update2:
-Wifi is OK (just has to change zImage and modules)
- Market: OK (download apps included)
Update3:
- Screen orientation OK
- Talk OK
So far no freeze or sluggishness. Amazingly fast.
Everything works perfect! Even the live wallpapers are working! Thanks to the developers...
Wow! Can confirm this is a lightning fast version!
Especially WIFI I've never seen so fast on FROYO build, could not believe my eyes, much appreciated!
(note: for some reason added modules and zkernel could not get WIFI to work, tried several things, but in the end changed to latest kernel (1253) and got amazing results!)
Camera would be nice, could you also check if "sound stuttering" is fixed in next build?
(as you probably already know, VirusCrazy managed to disable battery polling during sound playback in test kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883966)
Final note: keymapping is still wrong for blackstone, power button can be mapped to home, with long press to latest programs, see also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936601
All in all, great start, can't wait to see next steps!
Cheers,
Robbert
