Try to dump all the Android files onto the root of a different memory card.

Anybody had any luck with wifi? The topaz forum has some reports of wifi success but every time I try and turn it on with the new builds my phone restarts.

EDIT: Seems like only one person is claiming working wifi with a Rhodium... It is working with the Topaz though so hopefully the rhodium is close.

Who else is working on Android for CDMA-Rhodium besides 95-CIVIC? It looks like the last release was 1/12.

2 things to try
1) make sure everything is on the root of your sd card (some builds are okay with stuff in an Adroid folder some are not)
2) make sure your startup.txt references the correct device type- I believe it should be 2292- look around for some rhodium (TP2) specific startup files

Unless you plan on doing the development I would suggest not complaining about how little you feel was done in the last 5 days.... give the guy a chance to works some magic!

Thank you for your suggestion. I cannot read "complaint" from InvincibleLiving or myself in our messages. If I did not articulate myself clearly enough in the original message, my objective was to seek out others who may be working on different aspects of the Android CDMA TP2 build. In this way, I can solicit advice, or volunteer my development services to 95-civic, or any other resource working on an Android build for the Touch Pro 2.

95-civic: please feel free to contact me via PM if I can assist with your efforts. I will begin to read through the Android / HTC dev threads in both XDA and PPCGeeks to see where to get started.

Again, thank you for your suggestion.

EDIT: and my apologies for not thanking 95-civic for his contributions to this community. Your work is greatly appreciated and respected.

Friedmjb,
Thanks for posting this link on my thread over at XDA; it's great to see how many people are pumped about getting Android on their TP2 as I am! I just put a post up on my thread at XDA a few minutes ago. I've been tied up at work for 85 hours so far this week and will be back on development tomorrow evening. Send me a PM with your email address once you get ubuntu up and running and we'll chat.

Always glad to have someone else help out!
