Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2

Sweena1 - Sorry I updated. I am using a touch pro 2 thanks for noticing. Everything is working great. I even synced up my work (exchange) email and that works great. The only thing that has not worked yet is Google maps but maybe it will after i reboot. I also downloaded from Market place fine. List below that tested and works.

Data (Browsing) - works no issues
SMS - Works no issues
Voice - Works no issues
Gmail - works no issues
Exchange for work - Works no issues
Vibrate - works no issues.

Anything else??

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2

Also have voice (outbound, didn't try in yet), CDMA data working under Verizon. Outstanding job!

Anyone know how to get rid of the small soft keyboard that appears at the top of the screen during bootup? I can't get rid of it, and it blocks things like the left side of the MMS screen. It's driving me nuts! Didn't see any obvious options in the STARTUP.TXT file or anything.

Verizon Works awesome.

Working:
Wifi
3G Data

Just remember that if this is your permanent OS that you will need to charge the phone 2-3 times a day until that is fixed.

I recommend re-downloading the Startup.txt, Pippy had forgotten to put an option in there to disable it, or just add msmvkeyb_toggle=off to your cmdline. But he updated the file now, so if you want, just re-download it.

And yeah I think once sound is developed into this whole process, it will draw a lot more attention "as if it's not already the talk of the town" lol...

You want MORE attention? There's been like 30 or 40 pages across 2 threads since last night.

Yeah, gen.y dual boot needs to be updated to take account of the android->andboot change. If you want to use it at this point, you'll need to boot from the root of your sdcard.

Also, someone else said the andboot folder didn't work. That might be the case, if MrPippy didn't build the rootfs off a recent repository. I'd be surprised by this, though.

Have any of you guys seen a similar issue to this:

After launching Haret.exe the following error is displayed, "Something used micropklt_lcd_ctrl. This function should no longer be used." This error is displayed repeatly until the device crashes.

If so, could you let me know if you found a work-around?

I've tried five different SD cards ranging from 2gb to 8gb. The only build I've been able to successfully launch was the one released on 1/25/09. Thanks again in advance for your help.

Other people were having that problem quite a bit a few weeks ago. I think it's been solved, but I don't know what the solution was. There was a great deal of discussion of it over at xda-developers... you might go slog through some posts there to figure it out.

I dont remember my hardware button lights staying on, Im streaming music on pandora through WM right now so I cant check. I dont think they did though. Maybe theres something in settings. The one thing I definitely like better in WM than Android is the settings menu. Android is very counter-intuitive to me. Maybe its just me.

On another note, just showed my coworker (who just got a Droid and think its the best phone yet only in competition with iPhone), my phone running both droid AND windows mobile. Needless to say Im the big man on campus today!
