RE-EDIT: This Text is copy&paste for all threads on all compatible devices! Everything works fine for my Diamond. I still have no other device then a Diamond. I am still a one-man-show regarding my Android-Ports. So don't blame me for anything that doesn't work for you on any other device...
thank you very much
Can you post some screens please....
Hi vatoloco,
I couldn't see anything run on my Blackstone,always show black screen.
Thanks for the good work

#service bootanim /system/bin/bootanimation
# user graphics
# group graphics
# disabled
# oneshot
But after boot , I could turn on the wifi,but couldn't get ip.
GPRS ok.
Bluetooth ok,but the voice have a lot of noise,microphone ok.
GPS ok.
speed is good.
Thanks for the good work
you dont have to do that anymore, hw3d is working, but gralloc from the "hw3d thread" has to be replaced to /lib/eclair/hw/ & /system/lib/hw/ and also for me wifi wont work if i use updated kernel. so i extract wlan.ko from the modules and place it to /system/lib/modules/ ...
overall the build seems stable.
# I get 16.5 fps on neocore benchmark. (pretty decent i believe)
#However i am facing issues with wifi not able to get dhcp address (have to set static)
# google talk and gmail app aint working (force close). need to probably replace the apps. (not sure)
thanks neopeek.

Means: Not working or really broken???
First post updated with V1.1
Broken means not working!
For those who got this release working .
can you upload the files that you had to modify (startup,tar.gz...) , so it would be a more easier process for non-experienced users to download this release and run it by one button ..
thanks in advance .
Where's the problem, huh? Move to npkinstall-folder. rename diamond.txt to startup.txt there! Start install.exe! After installation move to startups-folder and copy startup.txt from diamond where haret.exe is and simply run haret.exe! That's all! Sometimes I ask myself if someone misses reading my instructions. I think renaming 1 txt-file and copying 1 txt-file should be simple enough!
That's 2 steps!
Neopeek,
For blacstone users, need to replace the gralloc file in your builds to get the hw3d working. which if not done gives black screen and 3d is not enabled.

...but boots up for you w/o that gralloc? So kindly link me to that gralloc so I can implement it. But first if it boots up just let me know if everything else works or something Blackstone-specific still needs a fix. Damn it! I have no Blackstone. SO I need you to test and give me hints!
I'm going to format to ext2 partition to try
Many thanks for the chance to get android on my blackstone man
I already downloaded the v1.1,but when I run the installer, the system show it will formate my ext2 partition,and then say cann't open xxxx.tar.gz,when show reboot in 7 seconds.But nothing happen after 7 seconds.
When I reboot manually,I found all of the android I in my card was gone,it empty because the sdcard already be formate during the installer running.I try two times the result is the same.
Fix already,It's my problem, I don't know why between the ext2 and fat32, there is 7.8MB no use, so after I repartition my sdcard, now is ok to install the file.
After waiting over 20 minutes, still black screen.

I think I have to include this for you to get it working for you. On the other side you may try to set "hw3d.force=0" in startup.txt. Thanx indeed for testing!
Yes, after replace the gralloc.msm7k.so that from hw3d thread, now it boot ok. after boot the wifi is also no problem to get ip.
Original thread here! >>http://www.neopeek.com/forum/Android-ROMs/5764-Ooops-WE-did-it-again!-Gingerbread-Alpha2-available <<
EDIT: Not for Sony Xperia X1. Works on my HTC Diamond so I can't say what other devices will do...Thanx everyone for testing the Pre-Alpha! I could fix several bugs! Now we are officially Alpha and it's quite usable on my HTC Diamond!
Ooops WE did it again...
My wife's still knocking my brain saying I am an idiot B) (while writing this she stands behind me). I spent some hours yesterday and several hours during the night cause I know everyone wanna try this out. I want especially say thanx to Chann who always is inspiring me with his ideas while I am doing some nice conversations with him on dev-section of this forum. It's really helpful to have such kind of member here.
More details later -> as always: I don't have time to test anything out on my own -> so I didn't! It's up to you to come back and report your experiences.
Alpha-release 26-12-2010
Before continuing be aware of: This is an Alpha release and now it seems usable (on my HTC Diamond it is!)! So before you do anything I suggest you to make a backup of your data / files! So read everything careful now :
What's inside ?? :
[ul]
[li]Gingerbread 2.3[/li]
[li]Working: Wifi, Data, Phone, SD-Card, Compcache 25%, automatic lcd-density settings and maybe more[/li]

Don't thank me! Thank Vatoloco/Neopeek!!
HTC raphael 800 can run but wifi not working (status: error) and battery drain fast.
I still waiting for Neopeek Team.
I am just instaling it... I can not wait for the final fully functioning version.
Cheers
Not stable enough for me at least (Fuze/RAPH110)... Guess I'll just have to deal with FRX03/FRX02 for now... ^_^
Kernel package: htc-msm-linux @ 20101204_005141
I have a Fuze and it works fine for me, but it is just a bit laggy (kernel does not support so well).
Remember he just hacked gingerbread to work with froyo settings but I can promise that future builds will be much better once every one else has started the development of gingebread on our devices
I kind of figured, just wanted to report my experience since it seems most of the newer kernels seems to half work on my Fuze with FRX03. Might just be something I'm looking over About to try again with newest kernel from Glemsom's site and see if the FCs are any less frequent.
Yeah, i'm using the latest glemsom kernel and it is slightly laggy but stability is much better. I have not tried any other kernels yet..
I'm using the old kernel & module 01238 from FRG83 R5 build in this Raph100 & it works just fine except for the known Android issues that we still have.
Some minor glitches in Gmail & root access rights reported by SetCPU, but overall a good build (stable) considering that it's still in Alpha stage. Anyway, we get to test run Gingerbread while most native Android devices are still running Eclair or Froyo!
hello, it runs fine with kernel 1190 from camera thread, for the keyboard use jap input. Reboot you can, do with the dev tools-bad behavior-crash system server. keep going man very good!
UPDATE
Gingerbread is working nicely! I have not tested everything but at least there are less FCs! I am using kernel package from Dec 26, 2010:
zImage & modules
NOTE: Check out F22's note about this specific kernel package from THIS post.
Better performance ?
Gingerbread is supposed to be faster than Froyo. I wonder whether this will translate into a better performance on the Diamond. The Diamond is a slow device (compared to the HD2) and there's not much that can be done about it, except overclocking.

Anyway we could interest you into test driving and giving it a once-over with your diamond?
I would love to try it myself on my touch pro cdma (raph800), but i can't afford to mess around with creating the separate partition to try this. Is there yet an alternative way, as i would love to test this out also?
I suppose I could try to make it into a .sqsh file so you can just boot off of it on sd card but no garuantee it will work...
I wouldn't mind trying it if you don't mind doing that. I keep my android2.2 in "setpath=android2.2" directory, and assume i could also do the same with this "setpath=android2.3" to keep them separate.
here it is: http://www.multiupload.com/6QEW8OFBMJ
*may or may not work*
Thank you much sir. I just unzip the sqsh file from that archive file into the main SD stick directory, correct? So far i followed the instructions and (at the time of writing this) was at the "run the install from the subdirectory, after it's done, it will reboot back into WM" part, and continuing.
Yes, that is correct. You don't need to run "install.exe" or need the npkinstall folder. It should be fully compatible with xdandroid and you don't need the files from neopeek.com.
Just boot it as if it were an xdandroid build and hopefully, it should display android logo. Ext2 is much faster.. give it a try when you can.
I might have to do that. All i get is the following (last 2 lines of the screen at boot)
"mmc1: error -22 whilst initialising SDIO card"
"Waiting for root device /dev/mmcblk0p2..."
and then just sits there for ever.
Are you using an xdandroid startup.txt or neopeek?
Please read this entire post!
<<<This is a link to the... FAQ Click it!!>>>
I have created a complete bundle of GingerBread with the newest kernel from GIT (Feb 28 / 1276), and the newest rootfs from GIT (Feb 24).
Please, feel free to DONATE to the XDAndroid project!
Every little bit helps!
Directions:
1. Download the full bundle (zip). (Updated Mar. 11 2011)
If instead you just want the system.ext2 (zip) file (updated Mar. 25 2011) by itself... Don't download this unless you know you want to update!!
2. Extract it. You’ll see a folder, GBX0A, copy its contents to the root (base) of your SD card. If you want to run Android from a folder instead of all the files on the root of the card, follow the steps below.
3. Go into the STARTUPS folder. Grab the appropriate startup.txt for your device (if you don't know what device you have, you should read the FAQ), and move it to the root of the card (or where you run haret.exe from. If you want to change the location of the build, put a rel_path= statement in the cmdline section of the startup.txt. Mine is located two folders deep on the SD, so my rel_path=Androids/TP2Ref)
4. Download the ts-calibration file from this post (should work for RAPH/DIAM) and extract the .zip to where you run haret.exe from - typically the root or 'base' folder of the SD card. Not within any folders, unless you run haret.exe from a folder!
**If you have issues with the above file, you must calibrate manually. To start manual calibration, just delete any ts-calibration files and boot. Sometimes this doesn't work, and you have to use an older kernel from GIT (I found 1225 works well) and generate the ts-calibration file by booting and pressing the 5 zones. Once you have a good calibration file hold on to it (make 15 copies if it's a really good one ), reboot & go back to the newest kernel from the autobuild service! Thanks**
6. Run haret.exe... Profit!
Let it settle out on the first boot. Many have reported they had to reboot basically because it was so slow - if you let it sit for about 10 mins or so the media scanner can go thru everything, etc. If you want adb in and watch the processes via top, you'll see why the phone seems so slow - there's lots of background processes cranking because this is the first boot .
Troubleshooting:
Please read the... FAQ
If you have any issues with the kernel, feel free to change it:
There are some devices that are having issues with the newest kernels. Please see the kernel autobuild service to get newer or archived kernels. Once you download a replacement kernel, go to where you run haret.exe from - remove your old zImage/modules-xxxxx.tar.gz. Take the new zImage/modules-xxxxx.tar.gz and replace the old ones, same folder - where you run haret.exe from. Make sure the ‘zImage’ is named just that. Do not rename the modules file, do not extract it - should be in .tar.gz format.
In addition, I am using the newest rootfs from GIT - Feb. 10. There are other rootfs options, see F22’s thread if you want to use more keys or move around the home button. Of course, there's always the roofs autobuild service if you want "stock" rootfs images - F22 builds his off of these and modifies them .
See Incremental Updates for more information on this topic of updating!!
Random issues can often be solved by forcing the system to create a new data.img. If you're worried about losing data, Titanium Backup works quite well. If you wish, you can rename the data.img to something else, and let the system create a new one - just to see if it resolves your problem.
Similarly, if you wish try formatting your SD card - I prefer to use the HP Tool - do a full format, FAT32.
Obviously this build is Alpha, and there are going to be problems. The next post will address issues particular to this build - PLEASE READ THESE before asking questions! Feel free to post questions in this thread, I will do my best to address them. Big thanks to stinebd for releasing the system image, and of course the other developers for their hard work on making these kernels available.

Mar. 11 2011 Changelog
Things broken in this build:
libgps - explains itself, no GPS and probably no netloc (cell-tower based location)
HW3D is either not working, or just not preset - I ran neocore and let's just say a lot of textures are missing. Got a ridiculous score, but again - no textures, not much to render haha.
DIAM users have reported the g-sensor is flipped -

ok, the solution for DIAM100 is:
change "gsensor_axis=2,-1,3" to "gsensor_axis=-2,1,3"

The keyboard should be fine, but I've had some Blackstone users complain - if you want, switch the keyboard out with another. mr_grisha's original post.
Anything that's broken in Froyo, is probably broken in this build.
Changelog March 25, 2011
Further tuned keyboard sizing to be useful on VGA (also made the key labels bigger)
World-phone settings support (very important for future RIL enhancements especially on CDMA)
Enabled HSPA icon (someone on GSM please let me know if it actually works)
Strange, I never saw the calib. screen. Probably because I just replaced the system.ext2 file and let it run it's course? I do recall there being calib. "issues" with 1253 because the text would continue to scroll even while you were attempting to tap the points.
[R^7Z EDIT]I don't suppose that would work if you were re-working this from the beginning or starting over from scratch (doh!). Lucky me, I save just about every new/update regardless of kernel package or rootfs update[/R^7Z EDIT]

If you already have a ts-calibration file, there's no need to create a new one .
A note to all troubled users
And additionally, to those who are reporting issues, it would behoove you to help the devs out by not making them guess what you are using (device) to include but not limited to, which rootfs and kernel package (date of release and commit ID might be helpful). That being said, be aware of what you are talking about (app discussion should not fall into this thread) and please keep talks of neopeek variants to a minimum (I know a little bit about these builds and will help out where I can, PM me if you really think I can help and if you really need some assistance)

Noticed the same thing in neocore (30fps without textures) but quadrant 3D tests looked good. Probably we need to test more apps.
Virtual keyboard is unusable on Blackstone. All buttons are tiny and kind of stacked together at the bottom of the screen.
BTW. I can't calibrate the screen since .35 FB commit (17 Dec). I think it's because of FB debug spam - this should be easy to fix.
on ralph100 i've been stuck on "busy" loop for about 20mins now.
loops saying "INFO task rpcrouter: 15 blocked out for more than 120 seconds"

Also, might want to try kernel 1258. Let me know if neither of those things improve it. Is it creating a data.img...?

Sorry forgot to respond to this. Two things, there's an app called "gingberbread keyboard". Find it on the market, see if it works better for you.
Second, I've heard the new 1258 kernel is fixed - not sure how, but it seems the clocks commit from jb's tree did it.
works with 1258, did reformat SD card.
Still had issue with not seeing the touchscreen calibration though, just copied over a old TS file.

Glad it's working for you. I think we've narrowed down the calib issue, so hopefully we'll get that fixed for all devices soon. Not sure why but RHOD's don't seem to have the issue any longer - no matter, we will get it resolved for all devices. Sometimes just takes longer for the old devices unfortunately...

Not sure why WiFi works better in GB than FroYo but I just disabled and re-enabled like several times, without fail/error. I'm using the packaged build found in this thread and using Glemsom's kernel package for the 14th. If needed, I can supply screenshots.

No need. I'll let stinebd know, I'm not sure what the difference would be... if he can backport something to Froyo, or if we are just going to be moving forward and focusing on GB. Thanks again for testing!
Thanks alot man this build is great! seems to boot and run faster and smoother then froyo ever did for me...only issues i ran into were not being able to see the calibration which if youtap on the screen it glitches and shows part of it.....but the main thing is i seem to have a problem staying connected to the internet and have to soft reset to get it working again....also airplane mode seems to get stuck once clicked and only a soft reset fixes it

Data - very flaky - CDMA users have data break for them after every phone call, and GSM users seem to have better luck but it's not flawless. Even seen reports of wifi having issues with data not going out to the WAN. There is a bug filed on this issue.
Anything that's broken in Froyo, is probably broken in this build. Although what is interesting, I noticed that in this build I don't have the landscape-on-boot issue that I get with Froyo...

Works good so far
Been using this for about 3 hours so far. Here's a little review. Upgraded through Stinebd's link in the XDAndroid thread (same as this I guess, but the arggggh's complete package includes all files needed). I deleted the data.img and replaced my system2 file. The first boot set itself up and then rebooted to winmo. The second boot worked. I was able to download Titanium backup from the market and restore my apps that I was using in Froyo. Overall it was working well. The default keyboard is tiny on my screen. My data connection is a little finicky as it was working when I restored my apps, but I could not connect after a while (same thing happened in my Froyo build periodically). As far as speed is good and bad, sometimes it's quick, other times it's quite slow. Overall, it's pretty good considering it was just released to us. Looking forward to future builds.
Edit: I reused my calibration file from Froyo. No issues
Rhod400, 2/10 Zimage and Rootfs from GIT
mmm, I may be blind but I can't see any download link! I'd like to test it and let you know!
anyway I already want to thank you for the hard work!
The system file was posted by stinebd in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=627997&page=1226
Thanks, I've included the original link to stinebd's post in my first post.
Still working out kinks, and stine will probably want me to host it on files.xdandroid.com - sorry for the delay... It will be here soon .
so this is the neopeek build only in an image?

This has nothing to do whatsoever with neopeek. This is AOSP code, modified to work on our phones. The system image work is done entirely by stinebd, and I have made a bundle - Link up!
arrrghhh any idea what the kernel incompatibility comes from? Thats strange...
edit- nvm I reread it a 5th time and understood heh

You mean the calibration issue? Some commit broke it, not sure which one. There's rumors that we can read it from the spl, then we won't need a kernel-based calibration - we'll be able to do it in userland, which is really what we want especially going forward to NAND.
Gonna try this release this weekend
rhod100 does have the same panel problems as on a FRX04 release a guess?

Panel problems are kernel related, not system image related.
What kernel do you run FRX04 on...? Thanks.

Most recent from your testing topic.
Panel wakes up very slow normally or after touching the screen or power button multiple times.

Ah. Again, that's a testing kernel. Let's keep testing kernel discussion in that thread and build talk about this build in this thread... Thanks...

I know, you asked which kernel I was using
Just wondering if these release has something to do with the panel issues but I realize this is a kernel related problem.
Keep up the goog work, I'll keep testing the testing kernels to see if the known problem could be fixed
Okay, here's my 2cents:
BTW, i use rhod100.
Hardware3d doesn't work because the line is missing from the startup (as far as i am concerned, maybe you removed it on purpose).

this is such an exciting build. It runs really fast. keep up the good work guys. Btw, to get a bigger gingerbread keyboard, search for "gingerbread Keyboard" in the market. its a larger sized version of the one that comes with the rom.

I've already included a fix in the second post, thanks!
Hey folks,
This is a completely new build, with all the new changes baked in. We wanted to do a semi-official test release to collect bugs and hopefully do a formal official release with everything settled. The main pain point is the CSV files (see pre-install prep).
So a brief overview:
New acoustic routing code baked in. Should fix most if not all audio routing problems, and will provide more debugging if stuff does go wrong. Also allows for more granular tweaking, see the CSV files.
GPS fixes for GB - GPS not only works in GB now, but it doesn't kill sleep! I was able to use GPS, get a solid lock, and put the device to sleep no problem.
BT should work & well with the new acoustic code. Post results.
RHOD users now have a choice of kernels. .35+ all have the new acoustic - so .35, .39, 3.0 and 3.1 are all fair game now... This is bundled with .27!!
Keep in mind, autobuild .27 kernels will produce no audio in this build... Obviously the bundled kernel will work, and the absolute newest .27 autobuild kernel does work now - Feb.27 2012 or newer.
rootfs tweaks - first, it will detect which kernel you're on (.27 or .35+) and automatically apply the correct firmware. Second, is it will always copy/extract the modules... failures there were getting annoying, and this is surefire if brute-force...
Few Easter egg apk's...
Probably a lot I'm forgetting, this might change
Pre-Install Prep REQUIRED!!!
This step is crucial, and I forgot all about it! You must copy all of the *.CSV file from your WinMo ROM - these are in the \Windows\ directory. There's a very easy way to do this. It involves the Total Commander app for WinMo (Direct Link for the perpetually lazy...) (included in EnergyROM and others probably).
Now you're in Total Commander looking at your \Windows\ directory. Whew... lots of files. Fear not! Hit the "CTRL" button, then the green "Plus" button. This opens the Select/Unselect files dialog. Put in *.csv, press "select" and voila. All CSV files are selected. Now - File -> Copy/Move -> I want you to copy these (should be 10) files to the ROOT of your SD card. No folders!!! This is hardset right now, until we get it all implemented into the build properly. Thanks!
Install
Assuming you've done the pre-install prep; this is installed just like the other XDAndroid builds - grab your startup.txt (don't forget rel_path= if you don't have it at the root of the SD!), ts-calibration and boot!
Download
Caveat List
CDMA users might get a crash in phone.apk and no service on boot. If waiting doesn't resolve the issue, then reboot. Should come up fine...
BT might still be flaky
The CSV files from my RHOD400 are attached for the lazy. I'd like to gather CSV's from each RHOD, I'm curious if any ROM devs have changed them out either... This could get interesting. If you folks don't mind, post up your CSV's, point out differences with mine, etc... We're trying to figure out how to unify these, if possible! Thanks!
Please post back any issues, enjoy!

Just to get people going on some of the newer kernels.
2.6.35 is currently auto-built at:
https://code.google.com/p/zimages/downloads/list
Emwe has been maintaining this tree, and he is most qualified to speak about it, but pretty much everything is functional barring camera.
Head over to this testing thread for more information on 2.6.39/3.0/3.1 kernels for Rhodium.

You probably saw this problem coming but I have just the stock windows rom, how would i go about doing this? (or do i have to go and find each and every CSV file )
I googled and downloaded total commander on my laptop, and i got it to show my phone, but it only shows up with my SD card stuff, not my phone itself (unless thats whats supposed to happen )
Will keep trying! -determined-

Sigh, are you freakin serious? I even link to Total Commander's website in my instructions.... Not sure how much easier I could've made it.
I also just attached the CSV's for the lazy... .
It does say TESTING in the title, no? Yea. It does..
Hehehe I know, I know, i guess i just don't have very much knowledge with this kinda stuff (obviously) Thanks!

Testing/development threads usually mean "please pitch in and help test if you can. If not, please wait until the final stable release".
Make sense?
Okay, i'll be glad to help test it if someone could post the CSV files for a rhod300 (if its not too much trouble). If not, I will wait for the stable release. Thanks arrrghhh!
Yes, makes sense
Installed the rom but i've got a problem with the fact that the screen dissapaers after about 5 seconds, so i can't even put in my pin.
also i'll put in the csv files from my rhodium100.
Edit: Works good on second boot, had to change the calibration file and it's works good and fast. Only thing i have is that i now have got 919 contacts instead of the (normal) 135.
A lot of text messages for tonight
Edit 2:when i make a phone call i get a black screen and the phone crashes after that.
Camera works when you don't move a lot, otherwise it's blocked.
bleutooth doesn't work for me it connects to my parrot but i can't make a phone call.

Sounds like a proximity sensor issue - not sure if some of the GSM rhod proximity related adjustments made it into the acoustic .27 kernel. You should try one of the newer kernels (not sure what's the status with .35 and GSM-proximity, but on 39+ I expect you won't have this issue).
This GB build, and these new kernels are kexec enabled. Meaning if you are on .35 or newer, and would like to interchange the kernel on-the-go, without re-booting to WinMo you can do the following:
1. While in Android, copy the new kernel and modules to the same location (over-writing the zImage) as your current kernel (adb push).
2. Go to the shutdown menu in GB, and select "Kexec".
3. Phone will reboot within Android, using the new kernel.
Again, this feature only works with the new kernels.

Let me know if you are willing to test a prox support for rhod 100. I'll pm you a kernel pack.
Just tried the .39 kernel and bluetooth didn't work with that one. The phone did work with this one.
Than did the 3.0 kernel and bluetooth works but there i don't have wifi.
The 3.1 kernel doesn't load it stops at
3.711395 mmcblk0:mmc1:1234 SA0BG 7.42gb
3.728118 mmcblk0: p1
Than did the .35 kernel and bluetooth worked but no wifi.
No more testing for me today, i'm getting ready for the last hours of 2011.
For all of you enjoy the last moments of 2011 and start 2012 with a lot of fun!!

You must understand that BT is only functional in 3.0 and .35 (well, and .27). I don't know about the state of wifi in any of 'em... Should work in .39, I thought it worked in .35 as well. Haven't booted .35 in quite some time myself. Logs are really going to be necessary to triage any of your problems tho. Thanks, enjoy New Years.

Here are my .csv files for the Tilt2 (Rhod300). Have not compared to the RHOD400 yet.
Here's my CSV files from my RHOD500
BTW, I can't use the Wi-Fi
I'm using the default kernel and settings that came in the bundle...I will try using a new data.img
Logcat says: "E/WifiService< 1328>: Failed to load Wi-Fi driver."

This makes me think the modules didn't copy, but I force them to every time. Perhaps I should rm them all first... bleh.

Hrm. Can you pull some logs? I tested wifi every which way and it was always working. I did make some rootfs tweaks, so I guess it's possible it's using the wrong firmware...?
Someone had a wifi issue, rebooted and it went away. I hate wifi .
Yay! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year guys. Can't wait to try this and get back on .39. And sort-of hot-swapping kernels? Sweet.

I just see a lot of this
E/WifiService( 1320): Failed to load Wi-Fi driver.
So uh... I think that indicates a modules mismatch? rm -rf /lib/modules and rebootski. I guess I need to make that change in init... copying and extracting every time doesn't work.
