An Android phone with a great QWERTY keyboard.... if this gets fully developed, it'll definitely blow the Droid out of the water with it's lame keyboard.

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

uh...what's the difference between apples and oranges?

Seriously, they're just different things. That's a tough question to answer.

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

You know what I am really looking forward to with this?

That augmented reality app. Sure it is coming out for WM, but nobody knows when.

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

I'd like to see Android working on this too just so I can try it out on a phone with an awesome keyboard. That's the main thing holding me back from Android right now- I need a good keyboard.

So for all you Android users- what would a person use to keep all of their contact, calendar, tasks, etc? I used to use PIM Backup, and now I use MyPhone. I'm pretty sure neither one works on Android. So how would you change without losing all your info?

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

My concern about Android is that its not been around long enough to have all the bugs out of it and their Marketplace sucks only slightly less than windows mobile marketplace.

Is Android modifiable the same way that WM? A nice surprise for me was how much can be done with WM.

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

Um there marketplace is was better then WM. Every new app is for android and Iphone. Devs are slowly moving away from WM format. I say slowly but that's a understatement. TO repeat myself every new app that goes to iphone is developed for android as well. No Windows Mobile love anymore.

I tried unzipping it to a 1gb card and ran it but it won't boot all the way. I get stuck and says
Failed to mount the SD card, Cannot continue
/bin/sh; can't access tty; job control turned off

oop it looks like it progressed a little bit more
How long does this thing take to load? Stuck again.

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

I agree. WM is on it's way out. I see in the next two years that WM apps will have slowed to Microsoft releases only.

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

Then let me ask the part "A". Just how stable is Android?

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

Sync to your google account with activesync then log in with the same account on Android. Done. Did this for my girl.

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

Hate to say it, but think of anything Win-Mo can do and android can do it better. Ive been playing with it flashed on my vogue and the app store is to die for.

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

I still own a vogue that is tucked away in my closet. Can you flash an Adroid Rom to it or do you run it off of the storage card? Got a link for the best place for me to get it???

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

cant get the new 2.0.1 to boot that was posted last night....do i need to change something or just post it on my card and run haret????

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

Make sure you are extracting to the root of your card. Give it a good 3-5 minutes.

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

i never put the files in the root of my sd..... i always create a folder on the root and place the files in there and run haret. I just use this same method with the 2.0.1 build of android that was posted a few days ago before this updated version was posted and it worked just fine

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

okay i had the folder named android2 and switched it to android and got it to boot but now the nexus splash screen just keeps playing over

edit: i touch the nexus logo and it took me to the setup screen, finally got it working

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

I wonder if we can get someone running android and do a calibration on their device mirrored and if we can import that calibration file and it will make our touch screens correct

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

The calibration is fine now, download the new version

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

dang I'm late with my idea! HA HA
I did download the new one, going to mess around with it later today

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

seems to be coming along nice, it sucks that whenever i open something i have to restart the phone because i can't exit out of the program. Is there a way to exit out of programs yet???

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

It didnt work for me when I created a sub directory; then did work when I moved it to the root.

Just sayin... YMMV

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

I wonder if it will run a lot quicker if someone puts it in as an application in the kitchen of a WM Custom ROM. The SD Cards are pretty slow.

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

Volumn down acts as the back button for some reason.

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

Have to completely agree with this. Really diggin android. Might go buy a Vouge just to have that flashed over haha

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

i know this will be the dumbes questions ever but....
do we just run the program (after we unzip it) from our phone?
and will we be able to go back to windows mobile?
does our phone have to be flashed to run this?

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

well thanks for the help.....i just hate putting files like that on the root of the memory card because i try and keep it organized and if i forget what one of those files are i would be nervous to delete it lol. But now you know that you can create a folder called android on the root and run it from there :)

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

nice didn't know that

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

don't know if i agree with that fully. Android is nice but they just copied microsoft and is being praised for it. I do agree however that android got alot of stuff right the first time. Only time will tell, and if microsoft ****s up with windows mobile 7, i will be saying hello to the android world

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

Yeah, should be good to go after that, first boot takes a loooong time.

Is it just me, or is it still useless? No working radio, no working hardware keys (short of the power button). So if you open an app you need to restart the phone to get out of it. By the way everyone else is talking about it I really feel like I'm missing something here...

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

do not use haptic feedback freezes touch screen input in android
otherwise its a good build

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

I was playing around with this and actually received a call while messing around with it, I was unable to answer the phone though, I tried to place a call and I couldn't hear anything... still exciting though... actually seeing the phone with an incoming call!

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

go over to XDA flashing a vogue android rom is in your face

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

If you Open up the launcher... Go to the App called "Spare Parts". There you can change the "End Button" our "Power Button" once tapped, to go back to the Home screen.

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

Oh man i just made an outgoing call on the Android build and had it connect for 30 seconds then i hung it up with the end key.

Funny thing is, they called me back! on android

Only problem is there's no voice communication but this is looking very awesome

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

Awesome, thanks so much for that tidbit. Off to change my buttons! lol

Edit - Hmmm still not working. Changed to default to Home but still doesn't do anything

Edit2 - Looks like it affects the Power button for sprint phones, which is still better than having to use volume down I guess

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

Yes I forgot to mention I was on Sprint. So I dont know how it will affect Verizon and others.

Also does the touch screen go out on anybodys phone when you let it sit for like a minute? Mine does, and it locks itself so i cant unlock it.

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

I don't know if it's the same for the Sprint version, but when I was playing with it I noticed that the screen wasn't responding to my touch when I was trying to unlock it either, but then I figured out that if you press the top button (power for the Sprint version, back light off for Verizon) it unlocks the screen and you're able to use the screen again.

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

Yeah basically it's trying to turn off the screen but can't, so you have to "turn it back on" to enable touch on the screen again. We have a long way to go but I'm still pretty pumped given how fast this is already.

Now to just implement Sense UI, lol

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

Yeah. You have to press it again.

It almost acts like a screen lock on my Verizon version.

Press in once and the screen doesn't respond, but if you press it again it works fine.

I definitely need to play around with the button mapping.

Edit: and if I press and hold down on the top button I get a screen with ringer profiles and an option to turn the phone off. It never actually turns off for me though. It starts to, but then it just hangs.

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/21
 

this is coming along alot faster then the android port to the original touch pro. I bet that bounty has alot to do with it lol. I will gladly donate to this effort and i have a good feeling about this. I think we will have a full android port early 2010. Keep up the good work guys, and girls :)
