Wirelessly posted (Opera/9.80 (Windows Mobile; WCE; Opera Mobi/WMD-50286; U; en) Presto/2.4.13 Version/10.00)

i have been testing build 2.0.1 with the fixed touch screen this is what i have found. Verizon rhod500 spl and sim unlocked (energyrom 28008 for wm)
works-
volume down button - also allows you to back out of programs opened.
display on/off button - doesnt turn off display only digitizer, and brings up lock screen
long press of display on/off button - brings up menu for airplane mode and locking and rebooting
EDIT: mute button on back - while in a call i was sure i pressed it and a lock symbol came up on the screen - need to test again to confirm ----> Doesnt work.
--------------------------
unsure if i was roaming as a GSM subscriber or if i actually connected as CDMA but i was able to make and receive calls while in android.
NO SOUND from either end but the call did connect several times.
I was able to ignore the call and send them to voice mail.
service indicator said my network was "(green service) VODAFONE NL"
my phone language changed itself to the netherlands
all i had to do was disable flight mode and then android soft reset itself and i had service.

when u say u had service, u mean u were able to make the calls and recieve them but no internet right?? i was also able to make a call and receive one but just no sound. This is so promising i think we need some sound drivers or something and the internet fix is probably around the corner since they got it working on the vogue

Yes, by saying I had service did mean that I was able to make and receive calls just fine. We just were not able to talk to each other due to the speaker and mic not working, but the connection stayed open until I hung up one of the phones.
I was able to end a call using the screen off button on the top of the vzw tp2.
There is no data connection at all.
So no internet or SMS.
I went in to the messenger application and sent some messages while in flight mode and there was a little pop-up saying they would be sent when connection was restored.
I went in there again when I had service and sent some more messages, while I never got a pop-up saying they couldn't be sent they were never received on the other device. I was not able to receive any messages either.

This is the hope I had when I bought the TP2 instead of waiting for the Hero. Basically, this would be the ultimate phone (until we get a 1gz+ phone with slide out keyboard). The possibility of best of both worlds, WM and Android. This is exciting!

wow at this rate im willing to bet we'll have the basics (or at least making/recieving calls WITH audio) by January 1st.

just be patient and try tapping the x and it should take you to the setup screen. i was having this same problem. Or even trying restarting the device and load up haret again. If you see the X that means its working though. Hope this helps

Just want to add my moral support to this project. Fully functioning Android on the TP2 with a working CDMA radio would be a dream come true! Thanks developers for giving it a shot!

Well after rebooting into android again I was able to see what networks were available.
It is only showing me GSM networks of T-Mobile and AT&T.
So the only thing I can think of is that the first time it was letting me roam off of one of those networks the first time.
Now I am unable to connect to the networks.

So it would seem that its still just a GSM enabled android 2.0.1.

i don't believe this is the case because i don't think sprint would roam off of at&t or t-mobile.( i may be wrong) I think it would roam off of verizon. I think the rom is reading the sim card slot, i had these same options as well and i also have an unlocked sim card. when placing calls they were from my sprint number and not my t-mobile number. If it was roaming gsm or in my case actually using gsm my t-mobile number would of shown up when calling. I do think this rom was originally gsm like many custom roms we flash but it has to have some tweaked settings. I wonder who are making these ports. Just my 2 cents
