[3/6/2010] Google Android for TP2 CDMA [In Dev]

[95-civic]

Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of communication recently. I've been tied up at work to say the least. It will be at least another week until I can really dive back into this. Good news is that it looks like Mr Pippy and several other devs now have rhodium's in hand. I've been looking over the recent code additions and it looks like they have already identified and merged some of the code fixes I've implemented in my custom build into the main project. I'll see what I can do to help them get up to speed on anything they are missing. If anyone is interested in building their own RIL please PM me and I'll write something up.
Sorry for the slow progress here on my end, life has been busy!!!

I for one am just glad to hear that you are alive and well, work on it at your convenience, I don't want you to feel pressured from us and just give up. Thanks for your hard work, and willingness to work with others.

Hi everyone, thought I'd introduce myself. I got a RHOD400 last week and I've been working with WiFi for the last few days. Tonight I was able to connect it to my network and surf the web a little .

It's very experimental at the moment: I had to choose a network and set the network parameters from the command line (with wpa_cli), and Android doesn't realize where the connection is coming from. Since the Touch Pro 2 uses the Broadcom BCM4325 WiFi chip (unlike the TI chip used by every other HTC phone up until now), our current Android build needs some fixes. This shouldn't be hard though, since the Nexus One and Motorola Devour (among others) use Broadcom WiFi--I actually compiled this driver from the Motorola Devour source code.

Hopefully within a few days we can release a build for everyone to try--there's been some nice improvements since 95civic's last release. makkonen and phh ported a new touchscreen driver that works really well, I brought over some HTC patches that increase the amount of RAM we can use (70 MB more), and it'll be great to see this WiFi working properly.

Let me be the first to say that this is great news and a big thank you to all of you who have been working in this, especially Civic, but the same thanks to all of the new devs who are starting to work on this as well! THANK YOU ALL!!!=D>

Interesting. Are these drivers different than the broadcom driver included int he autobuilds? They must be since they are for the bcm4329.

Thanks have been given, but since you other guys are obviously not civic, and he controls the first post, where will you guys be posting the updates? Are you just going to have him do it, or will it be located elsewhere. I just want to make sure I can get my hands on it asap when its released

I just want to say a big "Thank you" to 95-Civic, MrPippy (& everyone else working on this project that hasn't come out openly yet) =D> =D> =D>. I have 95-Civic's original Android port working as well as expected on my Sprint TP2, so I am sooooo looking forward to a working build that has voice, data, sms (& whatever you guys are able to achieve). Having said all of these, I want you guys to know that I am willing to donate up to $50 (more, if my portfolio doesn't "tank out" in this economy, ) towards you guys getting voice, data, sms (& whatever else) working in this port. You guys are doing a great job & we appreciate your time and effort in doing this for all of us.
