blackstone startup.txt probably wouldn't do you any good. You can open up the raph800 startup.txt (just the default startup.txt in my package) and mess with the lcd.density=XXX settings. It doesn't change the screen resolution, but it does change how Android interprets it. Warning: If you change it, there's a good chance that apps might start disappearing from the Market -- if they think you have a nonstandard screen size, they won't show up unless they're specially marked as being available for your screen.

There seems to be a problem with the RIL currently. Until that gets fixed, be glad WiFi works 
If you open a terminal and type "su" (hit enter) then type "ifconfig" (both without quotes. This is to see if you are getting an ip from your carrier by checking your network ip settings. In the results the ppp0 entry is for CDMA (if you see tiwlan0 that is wireless, turn off wireless and wait for the 3G or E icon and try again). It will have a part with Rx & Tx. Rx seems to have 3 packets and 54 bytes if you can't connect to anything (strange because if you can't connect, how are you receiving ANY data???). If it is more than that, you 'should' have a connection. And we can go from there. |
E is Edge (2G), 3G is 3G... of course, that's because this is a hacked gsm build. We don't have Edge, and our 3G is EVDO... so, really, 3G = EVDO, E = 1xRTT (2G). That could probably be fixed, but it's way down the list. And 'three gee' sounds better than 'ehv-doe' anyway.
The 3 packets and 54 bytes is probably just the handshaking to bring up the ppp connection. Doesn't really point to much either way.

That's... really strange. (The #777 part). The dialing number, #777, is already hardcoded into the RIL for all CDMA devices. Putting it into the username field doesn't make much sense. But, if it works, I won't complain.
As for it thinking it's a Nexus One... I don't know why that is, but these builds are pulled from all sorts of weird bits of source floating around, so that's not too surprising. Doesn't it come up as a MyTouch when you first boot it?
