tough to say I know that devices that will work is gsm first

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

at least it gets you to the edges of the screen! Niether of the two previous ones were very accruate. 0x7a.0x37f.0x35a.0x5e was too low in Y and 0x6a.0x3c1.0x376.0x8a was too high in Y and both had problems in X.

The first thing to determine was what numbers control which direction. the 1st number controls the pointer location in X(+); how far it can go right, the 2nd number is Y(+) how far it goes up, the third is X(-); left and the 4th is Y(-); down. And based on the values of all four numbers determines where the center will fall. Too much in Y(+) makes for a high center etc...

Now adding "3c1" to "37f" and divding by 2 on my calculator didn't yeild very good results (since mine doesn't add letters very well) so I guessed using a method I could never explain logically.

What I came up with seemed like a decent solution according to the "Pointer Location" within the "Dev Tools" app. in the eclair build. If anyone determines a better one I"ll be glad to use it!

your calibration worked perfect for me! Thank you for your hard work.

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

3c1 and 37f are hexadecimal numbers. as are the other numbers you mentioned.

To do calculations in hex use windows calculator and switch to Scientific then put it is hexadecimal mode. (In windows 7 select programmer mode).

(3c1+37f)/2 = 3a0

quick question, I'm guessing this is a fully-functioning android build that you have to replace the ROM on the TP2 to make work or does it work from within WindowsMobile? Sort of like AndroidKidd?

Apologies, I started reading the 33 pages and got lost along the way with the very technical discussions such as calculating hex numbers.

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

basically there is a program called haret that you run from within windows mobile, it executes and runs android over top of windows something like a linux live cd does over top of your home computer. it doesn't install itself to your memory or mess up your current system setup. to go back to windows you simply restart the phone. it does save files and settings to your microSD but that's about it.

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

Thank you, very much. I'm not stupid but that explanation was concise, clear, and helpful.

Awesome response and thank you tr0s

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

I think you missed the humor...

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

K i'm missing something. What exactly do i need to do with this? I tried root of device, run haret. Root of storage card, run haret. Neither of them worked, i guess I thought this was easier than it is haha.

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

put the entire folder in the root of the SDCard and then click haret, and it SHOULD work. in theory.

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

Why not just switch to a compatable plan on Sprint? You're going to get the same types of plan requirements with Verizon and your the plans will be more expensive.

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

Doesn't work for me, on either of the storage cards I tried. And now one of them freezes the phone whenever I insert it and i don't have a reader so I can't format it til i find one. Hard reset party!

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

its been as easy as extract and run for me, soo addicted to robot defence...

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

for those who cant get it to load, try a different micro sd card, I was having issues with my sandisk 1gb (yes it was fat32 and i gave it time, 30 mins), just tried the new transcend 8gb class 6 that I ordered, and I finally got it to boot, not sure why some cards work, and some dont. But try a different sd card if you have one laying around

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

I've got a transcend 8GB Class 6 on the way, so we'll see when that gets here.

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

lets hope that works for you, I loaded the android on it only right now, and booted right up, adding my other stuff over now and will try it again just to make sure, shows about 25 mins though, i should have coppied everything to the laptop first instead of from old card straight to phone, oh well


Edit, Its hanging up now, must be something on the memory card it doesnt like, deleted everything off the old 1gb and loaded up, so I will try and see if I can find what its hanging on

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

Here's to the year of Android! Dare I say, WM RIP? Happy New Year Everyone!

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

I have read that running harem with phone in use allows ability to make and receive calls.....has anyone tried running harem while wifi is turned on, or browser connected , or mp3 playing??? probably but had not seen it asked, so thought I would ...

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

anyone with cdma / verizon get the wifi to work, i tried about 8 different things.. just cant get it running 2.0.1

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

No, I couldn't get the wifi to work on Telus (CDMA) either. I read in the Topaz thread on xda that they've got Bluetooth semi-working in one of the builds, so at least steady progress is being made. I'm checking this thread obsessively until I can get internet access working somehow, be it by Wifi or CDMA data.

And Robo Defense is like crack, holy smokes.

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

i cant wait until android is fully ported to the TP2. then i could probably get away with using android with my sero plan. take that sprint!

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

our luck they will start requiring all pda phones to have an everything plan.. i can see it eventually though I cant wait for a full android port myself be awesome!

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

what happened to development? at first we were getting updates almost every day, and now it seems to have come to a halt

whats going on?

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

just a FYI it worked for me too. Im on Sprint... I just unzipped to the root of my freshly formated 8 gig SanDisk.. Took about 5mins to load 1st time. No data, wifi, or sounds.. Seems to make calls but no sound.. All non Data Apps seem to work. Cant wait for this to be fully functioning.. Still a bit laggy but that is expected this early in the process.. I think IPhone and Android will be the new wave in mobile devices.. WinMo is on borrowed time...

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

Yeah, I noticed that too. Maybe just a holiday break.

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

How'd you get calls to work? When i boot in it says Sprint (No Service)

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

It's still alive, hahaha (I sounded like Frankenstein just now). Check here for updates (looks like a new build was released yesterday, here is the download link).

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

Calls seemed to work "out of the box".. after install i tried calling voicemail.. it connected but no audio.. not 100% it worked.. but it said connected and the seconds were ticking away.. hope that helps..

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

it doesnt matter that it says no service, still works.

just boot haret while on the phone with your voicemail and you will have phone service with sound/mic working

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

im using a 4gb class 4 sd card by dane-elec and had no problem booting up. i even tried using a 256mb sandisk card. it started to work but it ran out of memory. would love to see this up and going. i do know that us cellular is working on a couple of android phones. when they will be is anyones guess. uscc is always behind by a few years. i just upgraded from a moto q, not the moto q9c.

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

It has been reported that in order to get audio to work you need to call your voicemail from within winmo first and while still in the call, launch android. I believe the same goes for wifi, it must be enabled first within winmo. I don't know if the wifi needs to be connected though.

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

thanks for your help.. i had wifi on tho when i launched it... to no avail.. ill have to try the phone connection trick tho... maybe ill have more luck

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

So i did some testing last night.

I have a Sprint Touch Pro 2 which i got sim unlocked via htc-unlocks.com

Im running the 1224 build

Im using a Tmobile SIM Prepaid sidekick data plan.

Im not able to get any data
Im able to send and recieve text
Im able to recieve mms but not able to download the attachment
Im able to place and recieve calls but since the mic and speaker arent working im not able to here the caller nor are they able to hear me.

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

I don't get why anybody would go to the trouble to try it at this stage of development given that stories like this are fairly common. Somebody kick start me so I can get into the fun.

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

If people posted what memory cards do and do not work, would the OP be willing to update the first post as people report back?

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

People need to try it and find out what works.. Otherwise the developers have even MORE work to do.. They do AWSOME things for us here for very little money... The least we can do is try to help them by Beta testing stuff as it comes out the pipes.. I'd make a big donation to em if i wasnt a poor bastard (If any of you guys are ever in Mpls.. I can hook ya up w/ a tattoo tho!). Thanks to everyone on here and everyone over at xda we have software that's more useful and more stable than what the big dogs come out with.. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!

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

how do you install this on your phone?

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

Is the OP still updating the thread? If not, that's fine. It's alot of work to keep up. But perhaps this thread should be unstickied.

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

when i tried installing it it got stuck at a part and it wont stop saying waiting for sd card
over and over again any advice?

Telus HTC Touch Pro 2

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

The next release is completely untested, I'd say wait for that to be the real next build before assuming its not getting updated.
