Exchange works great for me. Getting the settings correct was the hard part.

Exchange, dunno. Google Sync works great. If you have a corporate Exchange server, you might want to talk to the admin. Again, I don't have an Exchange server to test with, but Google Sync works great.

I did get exchange to work, FYI. However, the dispay is odd when in contacts and I'm not sure if it's related to Android or your port of Android. But I have contacts with the same owner, but multiple locations. In WinMo, it just shows up as the name and company so that I can choose which location I want, but in Android, it pulls up one name and then one long submenu beneath that with all the businesses listed together, then all the addresses listed together, then all the phone numbers listed together. Touching the business name does not pull up the contact, but touching the phone number will dial it, but of course, since the phone number is not associated with anything, I don't know which business that I'm calling. It's stange, and it causes something else odd to occur. I have 7,400 contacts that all show up in WinMo, however in Android it only shows up as 4,244 contacts because many have multiple addresses and businesses. So instead of showing a name and business as one, it combines businesses with identical owners names into one very convoluted contact.

I don't know if I explained it well.

Thank you devs for FRX06, my first Android experience & fun to play with on my Tilt 2.

I searched the FAQ & this thread for Data Connection and Carrier Provisioning to no avail. I live in Costa Rica and my carrier is ICE Celular (the only network in the country @ the present, same band specs as AT&T), using EDGE for data which works fine in WM 6.5.3. I dunno how to get data connection working in FRX06, browser & Gmail app says no data connection.

Using WiFi browser works fine as well as Gmail app. On Home I can see my carrier's name.

Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Data is enabled. Network operators > it auto searches but does not show the carrier's name. Is that normal? Also tried Select automatically and it says "Registered on network" but still no data joy. Also tried "Use only 2G networks" as I don't have a 3G account, still no go. I rebooted after selecting the settins & still "No network connection".

Other questions: is it possible not to have to slide to unlock every time the screen turns off? I did not see any option for that in Set up screen lock.

Looking for suggestions for a good task manager & a widget to show free RAM available on the taskbar.

are you using the correct startup.txt for the Tilt 2? should be something like this:

set ramsize 0x10000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 2292
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmvkeyb_toggle=off gsensor_axis=2,1,3 force_cdma=0 pm.sleep_mode=1 physkeyboard=tilt2"
boot

also, in the same settings section you mentioned, there is "APN Settings" which you can add your provider's info

Thanks for replying.

Yes, I use FRX06_Full_Bundle_25.3.2011\FRX06\STARTUPS\RHOD\RH OD300_Tilt2 > startup.txt with same content as you posted. It's in the memory card's root as well as all the content of FRX06.

Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Access Point Names > opens a tab with the title APNs in a gray bar but it's a black screen under it with nothing to click nor to type into. Tapping that black screen does not bring up anything.

@ 86shelby: "Don't worry about free RAM with froyo, it is irrelevant." - Still, is there a way to show free RAM on the taskbar?

just press the "windows"key it will give you the option to create the APN

Thanks, that was not obvious.

As for data, did you setup the APN correctly? Since you have an odd carrier, you'll probably need to put in a valid APN for it.

Also, does your carrier require any tricks to get thru to the open internet like a proxy?

I played for an hour with Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Access Point Names and the settings to no joy.

"...Since you have an odd carrier" - ain't odd for us as it's a state monopoly so everybody is using it here. I'm not a programmer but here is a pointer for future built where I can see my icecellular carrier: an accurate working list of APN's for cyanogen (and other?) builds (Android). How could I use this .xml in FRX06?

OR: this registry key from WM 6.5.3 & EDGE data settings that works on my Tilt 2. How could I import this in FRX06 or translate the binary data so I could input it in Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Access Point Names and the settings?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\Connectivity]
"APN Info"=hex:31,00,2c,00,69,00,63,00,65,00,63,00,65,0 0,6c,00,75,00,6c,00,61,\
00,72,00,00,00,00,00

Or is there an other key I could export from WM to import in FRX06 to fix the data connection problem?

"For the slide to unlock disable, you'll have to go with some third party app..." - Any suggestion, name or link maybe?

Very nice! I know there's a "thanks" button and all, but I wanted to post and say thanks in this way as well. I've been looking at Android phones to consider upgrading to from the TP2. This is letting me use the OS to see how I like it.

Thank you for all of your hard work Arrrghhh! The effort put into your steps/guide really helps. I had an issue and had to calibrate my own touchscreen settings... your paragraph and link to the 1223 build were all I needed to load that kernel, create my own ts_calibrate file, and go back to the FRX06 build.

Thanks to everyone who's put work into this. I think it's pretty cool to be able to go back and forth, even if there are still some issues/tweaks to be done on the Android side. This is pretty stable, and very good to get a feel for the OS.
