Check my signature.. it's pretty up to date and if things are missing, it's a wiki so people can update it.

Top Power button is your Home Key. You will probably get the choice of Home or Home++, you can do away with that screen by selecting the check-box to use as default if I am not mistaken.

Answer key is Answer key

Windows Key is the Menu Key - Activates different options depending on the app you are in.

Back key is Back

End key is your technical power key for Android. Hold down to get a menu for turning off, or just press once to blank screen etc.

Hope that helps!

thanks
I didn't know about the top button for home
I've added this to the wiki.

I like the idea of getting it working, me and others are having this sd mount error, its not a rare fluke i think its got something to do with drivers maybe because mine is refurbished the sd slot wont mount, but be advised

I flash roms from the sd card and its a 8gb sandisk i usually have all my applications on it so anybody got solutions other then what i have tried already because there is no way im doing this wrong, I made roms before so im no noob to following instructions i made the fox rom for the cdma diamond!

It's possible that these SD errors come not from the formatting of the sd card, but from the partitioning. I've seen cards where instead of a primary partition, there's an extended partition with a logical partition in it. Linux doesn't know where to look to mount the logical partition on boot, so it fails. The solution is to repartition your sd card, but I'm not sure what tool does that. (Also, your issue might be something else. This is just one idea.)

I know this is a repost, but there was so much posting going on when I posted this yesterday that I feel that it was rapidly overlooked.

Just a few lines before that, there should've been a line saying something like 'mmcblk0: p1' or 'mmcblk0: p1 < p5 >'. If it's the latter, this is the partitioning issue I mentioned. Again, this is just a guess, because I saw it a couple times, and I think it might be more widespread. What does yours say?

Anyone else want to see if what is said here makes sense and may be applicable to our situation?

That's part of the puzzle (making sure you've got the right login information). But it seems that people fail to get data working even when they DO have the right login information.

It's like a damn Who's on First sketch in here.

Go to Settings -> Sound & Display -> [ ] Orientation and deselect it. The gsensor is too wonky at this point to be useful for that anyway.

The only way to get around astro being expired is to download the latest one from the market (I know, I know)... or maybe get lucky and find someone who's posted the most recent version somewhere other than the market.

Hey guy's just wondering is it possible I can place my android files in it's own folder yet like Sandisk/android/(all android) files. My memory stick is getting a little bit messy with all the android files and a file it produces for each boot.

[darren.wlsn1]

ive dl'd and unziped this thing 3 times and each time i get corrupt file, all the stuff unzips jyst cant launch the thing.

[madoc]

Whoa, just realized I've wasted almost half the day in Winmo.

Why would I do such a thing?

...Booting back to android now...

also is there a way to get back to homescreen without having to press back a million times?

If you hit the top power button, it should bring back a shortcut to home, and asks you if you want "Home" or "Home+".

hey makkonen thanks for all your help
i wanted to ask you, when i try rootfs from http://xdandroid.southcape.org/rootfs/
none of them work, i see you've worked on the latest ones from the commit log. any reason why they don't boot up with civic's build ? for upgrades should i stick to the zimage and modules?
also someone said earlier that we need to change the system.sqsh to get marketplace working but where can i get another one from ? previous builds? can i use the one from the CDMA Touch pro ? last time i tried it on the tp marketplace was working, with the 2 28 build i think.

also as far as getting data on another carrier, (metropcs for me) i see the settings from the vogue forum and i entered them but no changes, is that the RIL issue that wont let it connect to anything else ? or is it because they dont have 3g ? just the slowest internet possible lol

Edit the startup.txt and change the gsensor_axis value to "gsensor_axis=2,1,3"

This got the gsensor working for me...apparently the values before were not initializing it correctly. Or, at least, that's what I gathered from what I read.

Don't forget that button if I helped you out.
