Hello all you experts.... ;-)
I've spent days looking for a 'definitive' article on how to get Android OS onto a P3700 Touch Diamond, but of course, the more I read, the more confused I become.
Can anybody point me to a set of comprehensive instructions on how to do this?
This page seems to be the most informative, but it leaves many unanswered questions:
ghost301tech.wordpress.com/2010/01/29/how-to-run-android-in-htc-touch-diamond
Here are my questions:
1) How do I know which version of Android will work best on the P3700?
[I have tried 2.2.1 AOSP FRX03.21.11.10 Full, but when I executed the Haret.exe, it started (eventually) briefly then re-booted to Windows]
2) Is this page the best place from which to download XDAndroid? -
//files.xdandroidDOTcom
3) Is using Gen.y dual boot the best method from this Win Mobile 6.1 phone?
4) I have copied it (Gen.Y) to the phone's internal (not the 4GB storage) but it doesn't start.
5) There is mention of editing the registry on the phone to allow the boot utility to start, but I cannot see how to do this. Can anybody assist?
6) The 'Bible' page mentioned on this site no longer exists - is it located anywhere else now, or has it closed?
Thank-you for any help here.
How to get Android on Touch Diamond P3700
I guess all the experts have other interests now. Oh, well. My fault for being 2 years too late. :-(
LOL
I'm not an expert, and yes I have many doubts just like you. Maybe we can build a FAQ and ask for donations eeheh
I have tried two ways: XDAndroid, and the Cherry Pie v3 (CP3). XDAndroid works in LOOP mode (the filesystem is a file called system.ext2) and CP3 runs in a native ext2 partition created in the same place as the Internl Storage.
If your XDAndroid is giving troubles, do this:
1- delete data.img and try again
2- if the above didnt work, delete all xdandroid files and install arghhh's package: http://www.multiupload.com/XD023XA5AH I get it from here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6967724&postcount=3
cheers
Thanks iRiKi . I'll follow your advice. Cheers.

hey i downloaded kaiser-hero-20-10-2009. i run the haret.exe and it loads. it goes into the hero and htc screen like its booting then reboots back to WM. does anyone know what it could be im lost right now.
Tips from little noob Joenie
Hey dude,
I am not sure what might be going wrong, yet, I do know a few checks:
- do you have the correct settings in default.txt? (see 1 of the many Android threats)
- did you download the latest basefiles and did you put them in the right folder on your SD card?
- some builds require extFS formatting, ensure that you have that or use another build
- does, for instance, the new ION or the newest Eclair build work?
I would like to help you further, since I love how Android can run on a Kaiser... However, I am still a bit of a noob... So I hope it helped, if not, feel free to ask additional questions... I am sure that the other Android devs can help you out then!
Since I posted a thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=675311 and nobody could help me. I spent the past 5 days trying to get it to work and did it successfully (through haret).
Here's how to did it:
1. Download this .RAR I put together that includes:
-Eclair
-haret
-default.txt
2. Edit the "mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480" part of the "default.txt" to your needs. (either 320/480 or 240/320)
3. Put the content of the folder "android-orbit2-eclair" to the root of your SD card so it should be something like this:
Code:
-(D:) SD Card [COLOR="Red"](root)[/COLOR]
--conf
--media
--default.txt
--haret.exe
--initrd.gz
--rootfs.img
--system.sqsh
--zImage
4. Navigate to the SD Card (start>programs>file explorer>storage card) and click on the "haret.exe"
5. Once that has loaded up click "run" (about 3 lines down on right side)
6. Just wait, Give it chance to do its thing and simple... Android running on your XDA orbit 2.
any problems, reply to this thread and I will try to fix.
Thanks, James

If you read the title it says for XDA orbit 2 not touch cruise.
Have you managed to get gprs/3g working with this? I can't seem to get mobile web working on my XDA Orbit II
I dont know whart u are doing here.
But i can use myns donut and eclair totally easy without modding something.
I just have to use the right "default.txt"...
Most packages you find here habe a "default-polaris.txt" in it or you use the one form myn ... It works great for the orbit 2 too
.....
But maby i dont get what you are doing here.. some special build or something?
BUt running android on orbit 2 is net a problem at all just use right conf.
-----------------------
@moondemon
Wifi works with myns eclair and donut. There are fixes (androidupdate.tar) you have to use (nomorootfs)
could u tell me which version have u installed? 1.6?
I succeeded installing the 1.6 version. but when I was trying installing the latest version, I was stucked at the screen which requires me to long-push the dpad center button. I did it but didnt work. I've even tried every keys, still didnt work.
could u give me a hand on it?
I have tried myn's and default-polaris does not work on my xda orbit 2. Also when I do get haret to run I have had trouble actually getting android to boot due to a continual "power wakeup" message. The default-polaris results in a flashing white screen for me. This config is the only config that actually works on my orbit 2.
Hello, i am just a newbie on Android for Polaris, so plz forgive me dump postings At the moment i am a bit spacy what i have to put together to work Android on my XDA2.
android-orbit2-eclair works on my XDA2 after installing but:
phone can't do outgoing calls:
3G can`t connect,
Cam/Gallery crashes
Wifi works.
Touchscreen works and all the rest.
before i installed the recent builds of froyo and eclair
System shows 10-15 min nice boot flash, then it works, but touch screen doesn`t work.
Anyway all the developers doing a great job here!

Im not using sd haret anymore. If you try with nand flash (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636024) everything works like a charm.
But as i used haret on my Orbit2 i was good with the package myn offered in her donut(or eclair im not sure).
In the package were a default.txt and a one for polaris/Orbit. I changed the polaris one to default (renaming) and it worked.
I think it was the donut package and it worked with zimages for eclair too.
Try this package if it works its worth a attemp to look into the default txt for other builds.
But atm i would suggest to give android at flash a try. Its almost perfekt for daily use if you not to much with some special programms on winmo.
As far as i read there are problems with haret atm gernerally that programms close even if install is fine.
Seems that flashing is the solution to all my problems, but
can you try to explain what makes the difference between haret and a NAND flash install relatet to the runing system?
Unfortunaley my XDA Obit2 is the carrier of my beloved navigation software. The other Wimo apps are junk compared with android. If there is a offline solution for Car Navigation on android, i could kick Wimo into the trash bin. Also i am a Linux user as well on my PC

xda orbit 2
I stuck these sections of
I've tried it and it seems it works, but I have a few questions and one major problem:
1. I installed the systems without the SIM card. When I started it again with SIM card, system says that the PIN I type is wrong altough I know that it's correct. How to solve it? Maybe it is so because I'm not O2 customer?
2. Is it possible to boot Android automatically without flashing NAND?
3. Can I theoretically Install Donut or Froyo using this method simply by putting different Zimage in the folder?
4. Do I have to perform another installation in case of buying a battery of more capacity? I saw that default.txt contains information about the battery.
5. May it work well If I change default.txt to the one prepared by atools?
Thanks for advance and greetings.
Double post, sorry.

Doesnt work for me ive left it about 20 mins and its still just a black screen. The first 1 worked but was slow.
hello, which rom is the best for o2 xda orbit 2 pola 200?
TO ALL PEOPLE:
PLEASE STOP POSTING IN THIS TOPIC ABOUT "THIS PART DOESN'T WORK ECC ECC" WRITE IN THE TOPIC OF THE RELEASE (KERNEL OR SYSTEM), PLEASE LOOK IN THIS THREAD FOR WORKING SETUPS AND TRICKS, AND SEARCH ON THE FORUM BEFORE POSTING!
I start with thread with a information for all users:
Haret system sucks so if you want a full working android system left windows behind you and move to the new android world flash on nand.
With this how-to you will not erase any part of your system but you do at your own risk.
Main problem: screen
For polaris there are 3 type of screen. Usually pola100 (the old one) use panel 1, and pola 200 (09 edition) has panel 3 but ... not always works...
The best mode to test is try to install and after double reboot you have black screen change panel type.
What you need:
phone
sd card (1 Gb or more) 500 mb free
time

Do we have to delete/remove the install-seq.sh after installation?
Are both files (system & data) cleared with the installation script?
Thanks for the help.
install-seq.sh disable automatically after correct install.
This how-to is fir first install on disk on images so it format both data an system.
If you want to make only un update use bsg select partion and select update.

I believe you should make this sticky

hi there..
i solved the problem..i took an older Z image..and working fine
the problem is that more applications like camera..media player screen adjust don't work..
they try to run..(i mean ..in camera..i can see..but appears a messages with stop working..sorry). i don't know why..
nothing work well
and what about the contacts..how can i get them from my Sim card?
i don't know..
if you can help me will be great.
thx allot for yours assistance.
best regards.
The information from sim card are very limitated (neither pin code works) so if you want to export contact sync before starting with google and configur your google account on android.
old zimage are full of bugs and all developers install android on nand so starting android from haret has many unfixed bugs.
I've been playing around with the haret install for a week or so now, and I've found that, for me at least, it makes a huge difference which initrd.gz file I use.
The one dated 22-05-10 doesn't let me install any zImages newer than 29-04-10. After trying all sorts of combinations of base files with different dates (haret, zImage) and additions to the default.txt, changing the initrd.gz file to the one dated 20-02-10 fixed most of my problems and lets me install the most recent zImage files without a glitch.
No clue why, just that it works.
I'm running a Pola100 with the original WM6.0 ROM still on it, and radio version 1.58.25.14. Yeah, I need to upgrade to at least the official WM6.1 ROM and probably something better. But I'm a newbie at this, so I need to work up some courage first ;-)
hello,
I tried to install android on sd following your instructions, everything seems to go well until the screen where it says:
"Welcome to htc vogue Frøya
touch the android to begin "
I'll try, but the touch does not work, I tried using the d-pad, which does work, but I can only select the language and the emergency call.
zImage as I used: zImage-Frøya-15-07-10
androidinstall.tar as I used: Incubus26Jc's Super Frøya RLS11 Themed
please help me because I would switch to Android!

I tried it unsuccessfully. Boot starts regulary, always ending on repeating error, looping forever.
I can read something like:

ERROR no local apt for prog ... replying anyway
...
Setting function 4 for gpio ... that I don't own

Is it related to which system file ? Loader? Kernel ? Or what ?
Thanks

I used the files mentioned at the very beginning of this post.

And you (thebeast20), You have now the WinMo (Windows Mobile OS) on HDD, and this Android on SD Card.
So you have two OS on Mobile and the Android won't effect or make problems for your main OS (WinMo).
And when you want to switch android to WinMo, just shutdown android and press power button to start WinMo. and again to start android go to explorer and tap on HaRET.
gps issue
In fact, there is one reported issue: after running android, the gps in WM may not always work. Solution is available: see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11515143&postcount=169
Some people have reported a freeze while "Loading Linux" in HaRET.
Have a look here. This maybe a sd card issue and could help you.
thanks to devs that help others who face problem.I have a question that refer to dualboot and microphone,when the dualboot and microphone fixed?maybe it is not proper time,but I want know whether the developing of android on mini will stop in a few days?I need someone confirm it,thanks.

Made it a bit further, the differnce is that the guide starts in the background but it stills gives me the error message that it want me to force close the android.process. But a small step further thats good.

Hi all,
I am not starting this thread without doing my research.
I have installed few android versions (some will install and some won't). And the one I was able to install were not fully functional. They were either alpha or beta versions.
I can do with either 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3.
Can someone please tell me if there is a version out there that I can install and work perfect or near perfect on my HTC Touch Diamond?
I have been trying to search this forum and everytime I come accross a perfect version, it won't load on my phone. I am not sure what am I missing.
Hope someone understand where I am coming from.
I can describe where I am getting stuck etc as well.
Cheers

A Small Query Regarding Andriod Installation on HTC Touch Diamond
Hi All,
I have a small query.
I am trying to install Andriod on my HTC touch diamond after reading from threads, the query is that where exactly i have to dump the extracted files. what is meant by "Internal storage"
If i place it in Internal storage i.e the 4GB one and try to run "haret.exe" its says that "cauld not read trailer"
and if i am trying to place it in the root folder i.e "my device" in parallel to "windows", "program file" etc its says not enough disk space. when i checked the memory available its less and data is larger... and just to be clear that HTC is not having data i already did a hard reset and removed my all data.
can you please help me.
Thanks!!!
