Re: Linux/Android on CDMA Touch Pro -- Now working on Verizon! And with GPS!

Alright. So turbo makes some devices unbootable -- good to know. I'll update.

Quote:
1.) Is there a battery monitor that shows a percentage?
2.) Can you transfer files from PC to Touch Pro when in Android?
3.) Are you unable to view the system files (program files on the device, etc) when in Android?
There was a battery monitor in the old system, but the underlying kernel battery calculations are so bad, folks just gave up on it, I think. You should be able to redownload that (or another) app from the market. Anyone remember the name of it? Battery Info? Something like that.

You can transfer files from the PC, but it's somewhat convoluted, as it requires using ADB. Probably the easiest way is to install an app called Droid Explorer. Then connect the phone via USB, in WinMo, in activesync mode. Start Android -- the device will disconnect and reconnect, and then auto-install drivers for Android. At this point, you should be able to open droid explorer and have it detect your device. Many of the functions in there fail completely or only half-work, but it should allow you to at least get a shell, browse and transfer files, and view logcat output.

System files are viewable from the terminal (though you might need to su to access them), but not via typical userspace applications. I think root explorer can, but it's a paid app. Of course, you can access the system files through adb and droid explorer, so maybe you won't need that on-device.
