Re: [TESTING] XDAndroid GBX0C 2.3.7 Build
 
Hi, I have solved the problem with data connection on Wifi.

If I tried to connect to wifi the device reboots when obtaining the IP address.
(When I tried to run android again, it tried to connect to wifi and then reboots to winmo... I just disabled my wiresless network so there was no wifi to be connected and andriod worked again).

After a lot of research I found a trick:

1. Use as static IP the IP address of my PC
(connection is established, but the WIFI icon on top of the screen is gray)

2. Turn off wifi (on the phone)

3. Disable Static IP option

4. Turn on wifi

5. Device is able to obtain its own IP address with no reebot

6. Turn off wifi

7. Activate and use as static IP the IP address assigned of step 5

8. Turn on wifi
(connection is established and now the WIFI icon on top of the screen is green)



This is the only method that works for me :S, but its ok, I just want use my phone for calls, messages, emails and web browser. Winmo works fine for me, I am doing this just for fun.


I have other issue right now. The device reboots on different apps.

- I tried to enter to andriod market, I got a reboot when I was creating the gmail account.
- I tried again, account was created and I got a reboot when main page of andriod market was being loaded.
- I tried again, main page was loaded, I tried to made a download and I got a reboot in the middle of the download.
- I tried again, app was downloaded succesfully.


Other apps had the same problem, but as you can see it can take 5 reboots to use an app correctly. I am starting to think it may be the SD card. (Kingston 8GB).

I will try with other of 1GB or 2GB to check if this solves my reboot issues.

I've never heard of so many issues. I can almost guarantee it's the card.

Hi, I'm able to connect to my home Wifi without any problems. I'm having trouble connecting to my Enterprise Wifi. It uses WPA2-EAP TLS method. I've already installed the certificate which has both my personal and CA certificates. Every time it tries to connect, it says "Connecting to .." and then says "Disconnected". This goes on forever and never gets connected. Attached are the getlogs.
Please help me resolve this issue.

Thanks.

There are some suggestions towards the bottom of this thread, but what you are trying to do had been know to be difficult.

Any sugesstion on a brand?..

(I am currently using a Kingston SDHC 8 GB Class 4, I see some lag using winmo with this card so this may be causing all the issues)

Re: [TESTING] XDAndroid GBX0C 2.3.7 Build
 
I cannot say difinitively what type/brand of card will work. I have not seen any trend in the types of cards that do not work for people... maybe someone else has a better sense of that.
But I CAN tell you that I have successfully used this build on:

8g Sandisk class 2
16g PQI class 2
2g Verbatim MicroSD
32g RetailPlus class 10 (currently) > some people have reported problems with class 10, so you might want to avoid them.

It seems like MOST cards work, and that a card not working seems to be the exception to the rule.

Hope this helps.

Oh, and did you ever do the Full Format using the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool like arrrghhh suggested??

If not I would definitely try that first before buying a new card.

I use this exact same card...

I would read the thread already posted, pretty good. You basically want a card that provides the best random read/write speeds. Sequential R/W speed is pretty useless for OS operation.

The thread talks about installing Wi-Fi_fix.zip. Could you please let me know how to do that? I couldn't find any option to install the zip file.

Thanks.

If this were a nand build I would say install it from recovery. That is where most zip files are installed. I think with an sd build you will have to crack open the zip, and install the files manually. However I would be very careful using files that are not specifically for this build.

I'm getting the error "The application Google services Framework(process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly." and asking me to force close the application. It is happening a lot today even though I restart Android. Please find the logs attached and help me resolve this issue.

i think the data.img might be corrupted, i've had this in past and i had to remake the img file. but then again I didn't put much time into trying to fix it either, takes me about a half hour to restore back to how it was so I just put up with it, doesn't happen often for me either

Loving this build. Can somebody assist me in using the physical end button to end calls. I remember being able to do so in the the frx build and tried looking in spare parts, as well as in the settings but canʻt figure it out. Thanks for all the hard work and help in advance.

nyles 07-03-2012 11:49 PM

Re: [TESTING] XDAndroid GBX0C 2.3.7 Build
 
Found it. Forgot it was in "accessibility". Please disregard the post above.

Re: [TESTING] XDAndroid GBX0C 2.3.7 Build
 
Sorry folks, I really feel like an idiot now by almost having this conversation with myself on this board. I checked the "Power button ends call" under accessibility settings but my end call button still takes me to home during a call. I would like it to immediately hang up the call which is not working. I need to push the "end" button on the screen. I also have the spare parts settings for the "end button behavior" as "Nothing". Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

Without hacking the keymaps yourself, you can go in 'Spare Parts' and change the power button to be end call... Sorry that's the best I can offer without totally hacking the build.

You could try this app at your own risk (I've never tried it).

With the prox sensor, it never bothered me that I would have to use the on-screen flow. The way we've chosen, you actually get a fully functional home key.

Re: [TESTING] XDAndroid GBX0C 2.3.7 Build
 
Thank you very much for the timely response. After searching through many threads, that was what I was thinking, but wanted to know for sure. The power button isnʻt so bad, thanks again for your all your hard work.

I'm still using FRX07.1 on my TP2. I also installed GBX0C 2.3.7 but it doesn't have the voice recognition on the keyboard like Froyo. I use this feature everyday but would like to switch to GBX. Is it not functional on GBX yet? or have I been doing something wrong on my install?

I think you have to have Google voice search installed, but I don't use that functionality myself.
Worse case download another keyboard from an app market. I am sure there is something out there that will do what you want.

Arrrghhh, the new build is quite snappy even though I used my old Data.img which has to be more than 6 months old. I would like to make a small suggestion on the thread....could you ask detule to update the 4th post and remove the dead link? It just seems like it would make it easier for the newbies but also a little reading doesn't hurt. :)
P.S. Glad to see Navigation App back on the build I really missed that one! :toothy7:

If it is 3.3.6 or newer you must install an app in android to control the cpu frequency (I use No Frills CPU Control, which is free on the market).
If you are using 2.6.39, 3.0, 3.2, or up to 3.3.4 then you need to use the startup command:
acpuclock-arm11.oc_freq_khz=xxxxxx
If you are still using the kernel bundled with GBX0C (2.6.27) use this startup command:
acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=xxxxxx
Of course those lines need to be placed in startup.txt within the quotes after: set cmdline "here!".

What settings are you using on that app? And are you applying at boot? TIA Great post BTW. :)

I checked his post, the only link that's invalid is the one for .35 - which nobody should be using anyways... The .39+ autobuild link is still valid, and that's what people should be using.

I'll see if he can remove the .35 link...

odd request/question, but is it possible to access the recovery on this (i saw the CWM thread below, but does that apply for sd card too? Or somehow flash a zip file? I'm trying to get the google now to work on the phone and I'm not sure if I can just drag files out of the zip to where they should go to get it to work, before i tried, I thought to ask if there was anyway to just flash the zip. Like with goomanager or rom manager possibly?

I'll try it later if I don't get a reply back before I have time to try it, I'll post my results.

arrrggg, so .39 is what we should be running now? Instead of the one included with your zip file? Says it's .27 something, should I change to .39 for better performance?

edit:so far the googlenow velvet app runs when copied to system/app but it doesn't look like google now, it's the original google search app even after being replaced, I used the arm6 version from xda

There really isn't a recovery on this build (or any SD build for that matter, unless you go with Neopeek's stuff. Then you have to partition your card, boot & reboot several times to get it installed... etc). It's been collapsed into the boot, and is only used for OTA updates. If you want recovery, flash NAND. Remember, this isn't like a native device. Flashing NAND brings you MUCH closer to that experience. In fact, it's almost identical - about the only extra step is getting the NBH flashed so the bootloader will run Android instead of WinMo.

Regardless, perhaps you should just ask a question, what are you trying to do?!?

Edit - If you want to try the newer kernels, why not. They're up to 3.4.3 I think.

EyeB 09-02-2012 12:00 PM

Re: [TESTING] XDAndroid GBX0C 2.3.7 Build
 
I wanted to flash the google now arm6 zip through recovery, is why i asked

Hm, I like WM and having android on SD, WM is still a big snappier for me which I like for my usual phone. Android is for fun but not quite there on this phone (due to old specs and all)

Do you know if there are any big improvements in the newer kernals? I haven't followed them and don't know if they are worth trying out, I know it's easy to test myself but I don't want to mess with things when the base kernal with your original file seems to be serving my needs. I mean I doubt a new kernal would make the phone feel like it's a few years newer than it really is

Been using the Froyo build but could get Google Market to update to Google Play.

Was about to toss my TP2 into the dumpster until I ran into this build.
Now I can get apps from Google Play!

Perhaps try a new(er) one.

Hi Arrrghhh, how's things? I recently bought a Nexus 7 and it does not connect to ad hoc networks. In researching a solution to setting up a wifi hotspot on my Sprint TP2, I ran across a post with you mentioning the built in wifi hotspot for android runs a regular network . I am having trouble getting the native hotspot started. When I turn it on it simply says "error". I am currently running the gbxoc 2.3.7 with the .39 kernel you recommended a few posts back. Although I have not fully tested if wifi works or not, I believe it does, as it detects all of my neighbors signals. Thanks for any help.

Try the newest 3.x kernel. 3.3.x IIRC was pretty stable.

Now it's old at this point, but I have to ask - are you on the newest package from the first post?

I guess post logs. If 3.3.6's built-in tethering doesn't work I'm stumped because it works great here.

So, I have been trying to troubleshoot my hotspot dilemma, to no avail. So far I have tried three different memory cards on two Rhodium 400's. Status-quo, with the same error message. The logs I have taken are from directly after the error on a fresh boot. pastebin.com/Fsg8XPu6
To answer your question, I am running the package from your first post, with the 3.4.3 kernel from 6/19/12 found on the link in the fourth post from Detule.

If seeking stability you should be using 3.3.x. 3.4.x came at the twilight of the project and some features never did get completely ironed out - of course, all it takes is one motivated individual.

Thanks and Thanked. That did it. 3.3.8 was the cure. The N7 is now up and running using my trusty ol' TP2 as a portable hotspot. Ya'll never fail.
