Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/24

[avoider03]

I am very excited about this! It would be terrific to be able to try out Android once it gets working with some stability.

although exciting, i'll probably be on another device by the time it's usable
plus cdma users are left in the dark aren't they? from my understanding the tp1 android boot still doesn't work nearly as good as it does for gsm tp1.

ok here is android 2.01 bootable for touch pro 2
this works on my sprint touch pro 2

just unzip everything to your sd card, it needs to be formatted fat32
run haret.exe and wait
the touch screen is reversed.

What works and what doesn't with this version?

it boots, and you can play with the interface a bit, the touch screen is reversed so its a pain to use. its cool to see it booting but besides that i wouldn't use this yet

but the cdma vouge was the first to get android ported, and can be fully flashed so who knows how far this will get.

The Android progress on the Vogue is amazing. I was about to buy dzo a Touch Pro2 if the progress on the Topaz/Rhodium didn't pick up, haha

Wonder what this would mean for those of us on SERO accounts. I know that Sprint doesn't allow you to activate an Android phone on SERO, but if you take an already activated TP2 and install Android on it, any chance they'll see that and cause you trouble?

i cant wait for the day when phones are as customizable as pcs. ie you get to choose operating system independantlywithout needing consent of the cell carriers. why it is not that way yet is beyond me, i paid alot of money for my phone and i still need there software or to risk bricking it.

I highly doubt it. The restrictions are on specific phone models, it just so happens that all the android phones are on that list. I doubt Sprint would go to the trouble of finding out if you are running android for the sole purposes of pissing you off.
