For those that want to continue to try out the progress being made on Android for Rhodium, check out the GSM version of the package. No you can't get the phone part to work, but there are other things getting fixed such as the screen rotation, etc.

Had my RHOD500 CDMA phone booting with the latest kernel image, and the GSM package found at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=627997

Just download the XDAndroid Rebuild Package .rar(02/24) from the first post

Extract the package, then:
1) Copy the "Android" folder to your SD card

2) Copy startup.txt out of "STARTUP CONFIG > Tilt2" folder to the "Android" folder on your phone (or one of the other TP2 related startup.txt's- I'm not sure which keyboard best matches the RHOD400 or RHOD500 and that's the difference between the files it seems)

3) Adding "htc_hw.force_cdma=1" to the startup.txt "cmdline" seems to allow it to search networks (from network settings) and actually finish much like was seen in 95-civic's build. Only issue is that when you select "Select automatically" it does say "Registered on network" but then when you go to make it call it says "Not registered on network"

4) Get the latest kernel build from glensom's autobuild:
http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android/ - Just download, extract, and then copy the 2 files onto your "Android" folder where the other kernel is (zImage & the modules.tar.gz)

5) Update startup.txt and change the "set KERNEL" line to the new kernel filename.

Should boot, have you calibrate the screen the first time (new way to detect screen I guess), and then all is done. If you mess the screen calibration up, just delete the ts-calibration file that is created in the "Android" directory and start HaRET again. It will ask you to repeat the calibration.

Hopefully the developers currently working on the multidevice kernel will get CDMA support working for the Rhodium 400/500 or that 95-civic will enlighten them on what he did to get the phone working.

Excited to see more progress on this.

*NOTE: Anyone working on the kernel and wants testing done on a RHOD500 for CDMA use, let me know...
