I've been following the Enhanced Notification thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=491676
According to the thread, it requires a build (I assume they are referring to the Windows Mobile Build) of 21000+ to work. So my question is, how do I install a newer build of Windows Mobile 6.1. I currently have build 19965.
Does it come in a .cab file? If I install the new build do I lose everything on my diamond? Like TF3D and all my installed programs?
Thanks for your help.
You need to flash a ROM that is based on a 21000+ build
oh okay so there's no other way to just upgrade the Windows Mobile 6.1 build. The only way is to flash a new ROM with the new build.
Thanks.
And how to integrate a newer build into custom rom?

the chef does this not you.
and when I am the chef but simply can not find any howtos?
Because that's why I'm asking.
it should be listed in the help for the kitchen you're using, shouldn't it?
I'm posting a very very VERY light ROM that can be used to boot the various Android releases floating around this forum. GenY's DualBoot application is cooked in for easy of launching Haret.exe.
Do not download this ROM to use as a regular Windows phone. It has NOTHING in it but drivers and 21889. It's almost useless, for anything but booting android. Thanks and enjoy
The ROM can be found here http://hotfile.com/list/93322/b5a2687
Just pick the Android ROM which should be no bigger than 70 Megs
I will keep this updated as the COM2 builds progress... No need to build this type of ROM with the newer COM branches
You COULD use this ROM to try out apps, maybe even run SPB Mobile Shell or something like that, but keep in mind it's bare as can be, as in, nothing installed on it and nothing on the start menu
Just to clarify.. this is NOT an Android ROM. It's a clean WM ROM used to boot Android from the Storage Card. You will need to find an Android package to install to your Storage Card first

One more.. just in case
So Android is ported enough to be usable?
So Android is ported enough to be usable? Oh and 'first'! Because it's my first time to be the first poster- not because I'm the first poster.
Love your work by the way. I'm sure you hear it all the time, but one more can't hurt right?
Great!
I am really glad to see you do this. This was badly needed as the dev. in rhodium for Android is way behind. Thanks! Also, I just DL'd your lates & I will be sending you some brn files for action screen to match. I hope you like 'em.

I agree... it seems nobody was doing a bare bones, drivers & SYS only, ROM for the android guys to get their groove on, so hopefully this helps

Does this rom still give option to use wifi router?
Thank you for the lite rom NRGZ28. I'm still debating giving this a try....My Energy Rom is so freakin sweeeet right now, I may wait a little while.
It's Great,Thanks NRGZ28!
That is good news!

Did you not read the first post ?
It's possible to apply this ROM into HD2 ?
HD2 Android
I also would like to know if it is possible to make the HD2 run android system. Boy that will be great, I was eager to try an android phone, but, i liked the HD2 specs and if i can make it run both it will be great news.
i tried it and it doesn't work CustomRuu say that the ROM is not for my mobile

Pretty obvious since you found this in the TOUCH PRO 2 forum !
Works great with your Android Super Lite ROM. I ended up installing Gen.Y Dual Boot and full EnergyRom because Android port is still missing many features.
Thanks for the post to the MJG Android build. Works great except for the things you mentioned in the first entry.
this is sweet i have been running the android since mornin nd everything is solid stable and smooth but wifi n camera n other stuff doesnt work and my ringone works great job NRG
reserved for later fixes on android. tnx for building a light rom to run android hopefully more motivation is pushed on the development of android running on rhodium
Can any of you guys post some screen shots of the rom... Thanks
can u shine some light NRG
my questions is how does having a light bare windows mobile rom benefit running android? im not sure why i would want a striped rom over a regular rom to boot android off of...? does it allow more ram for when android boots up?
I'm new into this Android scene.
Right now I have something running not sure what it is but it's on my SDCard
I have to boot to WinMo and run Haret to load Android.
Would a NAND install be better if so which one.
And can someone clarify the terminology: what is the difference between zImage.nbh system.img and etc etc.
Thanks

works well in all i have put it against.
I agree myn or plemen's donut builds are stable fast and just work (plemen stopped updating his, though).
consider mssmison's eclair as well. fairly stable (donut still more stable at this point), but more features (thanks to 2.1 - slide to unlock, voice to text works better, native eclair dialer/contacts, among others), but no phone audio bluetooth or camera yet. it runs very fast if you stick with the default launcher and dialer. it is my everyday build right now, will get a major update in about a week.
Hello all,
I'd like to ask which is the best distribution of Android for Kaiser - I mean everything working fine and so on.
I have HardSPL 3.29 and Radio 1.70.19.09 .. I tried one distro (Froyo 2.2 - Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo RLS14 All Languages) but when I started it.. it runs some time then the screen goes dark like sleep.. but when I press the power the screen image is broken... like white lines on the screen.. (this happens on both Incubus Super FroYo and Myn's Donut) ... I don't know is there some additional software that should be installed...
I use starting with HaReT via SD card...
I appreciate any help... Thanks in advance!
Best Regards,
Dimitar Dimitrov
The screen problem is wrong panel type, edit the default.txt in andboot folder, change the panel type, (board-htckaiser.panel_type=X), it can be either 1,2 or 3, if the display looks fine apart from sleep issues when you press power key, chances are you have a panel type 3, panel types 2 and 3 display the same, but have sleep issues if you choose the wrong one.
As for the best build? That is something you have to find out for yourself, not being funny, just that everyone has a different idea of 'best'
Thanks a lot!
Okay about the distribution... As I am new to Android at all... Can you please tell me your opinion about which distribution is working on kaiser (probably one you have tested and you are happy with it)
Thanks once again!
Kind regards!
Depends on what you want.
If you want speed, go with Myn's Warm Donut.
If you want to more apps, and less speed, go with Eclair.
If you want the latest apps and even less speed, try Froyo.
Thank you I'll try which one is working well on my kaiser and i'll choose one.. sorry for stupid questions anyway just i think it is better to ask someone who passed by those kinds of issues

I think I have tried all of them, and only 1 is working fine and fast for me: dzo's froyo (currently 26-08-2010). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715402 (get it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/ ) (the latest builds include all of the fixes, you don't need to patch anything after installing).
I am running it with haret on the SDcard. It's so fast and smooth I don't even feel the need to flash it to the nand (which would work even faster).
The eclair builds, (polymod 2.1d, etc...) even with compcache enabled they are too slow. Cyanogenmod is also extremely slow, and it was also freezing while the phone was sleeping). And the Donut builds are lacking features.
On my kaiser the dzo froyo build is at least as fast as the fastest donut builds I have used, and it's rock stable. Far better than the eclair and other froyo builds like cyanogenmod.
PS: do not use any "unodexed" or "deodexed" builds. They are slower.

On my kaiser this build feels like it came flashed originally instead of windows mobile. In comparison, the other builds felt like "hacks": slow and/or buggy.
Myn's RLS5 is the best for my kaiser.
And what about battery life?, Cyanogen literaly drain power in a few hours, froyo from dzo is better, but still is a problem for these builds.
Any recommendation?, the old Donut build battery lafe is the best (at least for me) but after several days the phone signal drops to zero, and i cant recover it !!
Please, your comments, thanks in advance!
yap i have same problem with phone signal. i wonder why...
Had this problem with a number of builds, turns out that using the 1.71 radio was the problem, reflashing 1.65 radio cured my 'No Signal' problems, sometimes latest is not always best

This has been my experience too. I tried several of each of the donut/eclair/froyo builds but the lastest kernel along with dzo's fresh froyo have made a world of difference. Way faster than even the donut builds that had previously been the faster of all of them.

2011 Builds
Hi
I see that no new builds are posted and for all the latest downloads are from 2010.
I tried using aTools and also downloaded new Froyo from SourceForge.net, but no luck - Android hangs. What other files should be updated to for all to work?
I understand, that aTools ia a mgnificent tool, and everybody can "cook" his own version at home, but it is not totally clear regarding what should be used as basefiles, or if you download a distribution (like i did system-froyo-all-odex-29-08-11_19-patched.tgz) will it properly work, or what should be done to work.
Any advices?
I just erased my CyonogenMod because was a bit slow and as i read, DZO froyo should do it.
Creating the defaul.txt is not a problem. My concern is the zimage, the initrd and the androidinstall to work together properly.
Cheers
---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------
OK? solved: i had to swith aTools to use a Stable branch and downloaded another initrd. Now all went smooth, and i have latest android on my Kaiser - working fast.
No FileManager, but WiFi works, so as Market, so just download
As a last step, i created with atools an androidupdate file to change my keyboard settings.
That's it.
Astro was not showing up in Market so i went here and downloaded the apps / widgets as a standalone update: forum.smartphonejunkie.com/windows-mobile-apps/202417-dzos-fresh-froyo-2-2-odexed-vanilla-rls6-7-2-10-a.html
I have a single problem now: market does not show all the apps. I search for something, gives me 411 results, but shows only 2 apps. Why is that?
How can market be fixed?

This thread is a YEAR old. Of course there are newer roms after that date
I know there are newer roms, but had not been posted. But no problem, i found what i wanted, and i installed Android. Fixed market also.
I have another problem, and maybe i can reformulate the topic's title:
Which Android build is best for Kaiser's battery life?
I mean, the newest froyo drained my battery in one night. Windows Mobile last 3-4 days - depending on the use.
Tough question?
So I've just recently flashed my vogue with myns donut for a couple days and It was pretty good. The camera worked but no video and neither did the gps. I understand that for verizon you have to follow a specific procudure to get that to work so that makes sense. I'm just curious to what android roms they are using for their vougue. I'm looking for one that has the most working features. Let me know what it is and how you had it set up.
For my Fresh Froyo although remember android no is 100% stable but Fresh Froyo is very good.
If you know what you want my barebones build is known to be one of the fastest and most stable builds. With that though you need to get the apk's to what you want and add them in. It is meant to be as cut down to the minimum to be light and lithe on our devices.
Another way to get apps is to use the market, I have the most recent version of the market in my build. CM 6.1 is Froyo based so you have video and all the other froyo features.

I tested more than 10 ROM including the yours and I am sorry to tell you than ever before me to worked well even the last released CM 6.1, does not work properly with the kernel that is in my signature and is the one that works best with the USB sync and just by this already this ruled out your ROM, so I'm still saying Fresh Froyo for me is the more stable and clean ROM of froyo that I tested.

Well mine is assuming you want to use the .32 kernel. Which with Clemsyn's kernel works very well. Battery life sucks though since the changes haven't been committed to git yet. But with that kernel I have not had any data loss since it came out.

This is my situation too....as I posted above. I know how to install, but am unsure of exactly what you are recommending as to the Fresh Froyo files. Thanks again.
Well try to be brief to that understand... (my English is very bad).
They must go to the thread of Fresh Froyo and go to this page, there download the ROM latest although I recommend the penultimate that is in my signature the most recent gave me problems.
The ROM download whith the name system-froyo-us-unodex-XX-XX-XX (X are date) have to rename it to androidinstall.tgz and copy in the ANDBOOT folder then locate the kernel of their choice here, the most recent is 2.6.32 although I recommend 2.6.25 which is in my signature if need USB mass storage in 2.6.32 doesn't work.
For the rest follow the installation guide in NAND is here and everything should go well.
Not be as it is done for HARET but here also the Guide to install in haret. I believe with what I said is more than enough so installed android in their device.
Best regards.

It works in Ubuntu Linux. It does not work for Windows 7, at least that I could configure successfully.
I'm using SuperFroyo and the 2.6.32.9 Kernel and a few things I noticed to make it more stable: don't use a Task Killer and be sparing in your use of a cache cleaner. Seriously, a week of doing that has really helped things. Trust the Linux Kernel, it's not Windows. I also used Autostarts to prevent a few of the more eager apps from starting automatically post-boot, but that's optional.

I cannot as I do not have Clemsyn's kernel so I cannot commit his fixes for stability to git. As far as the git kernel goes it already has those fixes.
Also with fresh froyo or any AOSP build you will not have as much speed since it does not have all the Cyanogen Mod tweaks.
So it loses a lot of those tweaks but I can say 1 thing about cm6.1 and 7 so far, they are getting rather large themselves, I can look into cm7 for hero and find atleast 10 apks that just take up space or are only good once

Does seem contradictory as to not use a task killer, the task killer close applications that are open and if you don't use are accumulating and this put slow the phone, the APP autostarts manager if I heard but none that worked well in my Vogue, which do you use?

even with barebones, the cm settings along with the now statistic reporting and updater (which cause FC's if removed) are still pretty huge. i have grown to like cm7 on my hero but with having so much stuff commited to the project as much as i hate to say it, there is starting to be alot of ::gulp:: bloatware

You don't need a task killer. The newer versions of Android will shut down apps that aren't being used if the resources are needed elsewhere. If you run a Advanced Task Killer or something similar, it will use system resources shutting down apps that then re-open themselves, which the task killer will again kill. It drains the battery and makes the OS unstable. Uninstall your task killer for a few days and see if it helps.
I use Autostarts because it fixed a problem--the music player started randomly. I also use it to prevent some apps from starting up but it is probably not necessary.
