Thats the only way i use bluetooth, so i am just wondering.
klinux over at XDA has BT w/ A2DP "working". It's still a little bootsy, but it's close

We need to have someone on xda or PPCGeeks working exclusively on sound, and see if the tricks used on the Vogue port will also work here.

A Sound leader, that's what this project needs.

+1
even though the vogue has totally different hardware someone might be able to get something from it

locomariachi: OK, if you want to repartition your sd card, here's the super bare bones instructions on how to do it. There's probably an easier way, but a quick google search doesn't get me any closer to knowing what it is. WARNING: GParted is a powerful tool. If you touch your main hard drive with it, you can trash everything in an instant and be left with an unbootable computer. Be wary.

Backup your SD Card.
Download Ubuntu 9.10.
Burn to CD.
Boot into Ubuntu.
Connect your phone to the computer, in Mass Storage mode (from WinMo).
Open GParted. (From System menu -> Administration)
Select the SD Card. (Be Careful -- Here be dragons)
Delete ALL partitions.
Make 1 Primary partition, of type FAT32.
Reboot to Windows.
Replace your Android files.
Load Android.
Hope it worked.
Curse my name if it didn't.

Option 2:
Convince the devs to make the initramfs and rootfs boot correctly off these strangely-partitioned sd cards. This is a much trickier proposition, and involves social engineering and persuasion skills outside the scope of this tutorial.

Or you can add rel_path=whatever to your cmdline (in startup.txt) and then use whatever directory. (You need the latest initrd.gz for this to work correctly, though.)



It is not time sensitive, it's just touch sensitive... that is, very touch sensitive. If you look at what you have there, it's 5 sets of x,y coordinates, and your second and third pair are essentially the same. Meaning it read the second point twice, making the third and fourth points wrong.

If you have trouble with the calibration, just reboot to winmo and delete ts-calibration from your android folder on your sdcard. It will run the calibration again on the next boot.



I would take that link down, simply because it confuses the issue. That's 95-Civic's old build, which contains a few out-of-tree hacks. This is the new one that's a little closer to lining up with the mainline development.



I know post 1 says Sprint only, but I'd try it with Verizon anyway. The problem (at least as I know it, I haven't spoken with MrPippy about it) tends to be with carriers that require a username and password to connect to data, and I don't actually think Verizon does so. I know a few months ago when people were getting up and running with the RAPH500, it could connect to data without all the trouble that USCC et al were giving.

I could be wrong on that count, though. (There are a number of other issues that could cause a problem.) Can anyone confirm, up or down, whether data's working on Verizon?
Yes! Data is working on Verizon. Followed the steps in the first thread and didn't have any problems. Much props to Mr. Pippy!!!!

Correct. The version in his thread natively runs on the TouchHD, but also works with the GSM Rhodium model after editing the startup.txt file slightly. Now all that needs to be done is a port and a handful of other tweaks and it should work with CDMA within the near future (obviously I'm making it sound easier than it is - and it could easily be weeks or months before this happens. I only mention it since the other guy asked if A2DP is a possibility).

Although after following the IRC channel last night and today, it seems that the priority is now somewhat focused on sound capabilities. But it's anyone's guess as to what feature will be enabled next

Pity that it's taking this long to get sound working, that should have been one of the 1st priorities.

I used the 'All in One" download that Flyer posted on page 7 and my (verizon) data works fine.

Remember to take out your SIM card.

Also, before I launched the Haret file, I turned off my data in WinMo. I thought I had read this during Civic's thread - so I always turn off data in WinMo then run Haret.

I love this stuff! I am so glad I found this site...my TP2 would have been so boring without PPCGEEKS.

To each his own. Others would argue that data was most important since a smartphone is generally worthless without it - especially a smartphone running Android. I personally don't care either way as I'm just enjoying the ride like everyone else :thumbleft:

But since it's all free and these guys do it all out of the generosity of their little hearts, we can't complain too much, no? If you want sound that badly, download the repo and unpack it, then get the sound working on your own :)

Actually, I completely forgot about data :P I had been using the very early builds that didn't even have CDMA radio support yet, and now that data is working I'm very excited. But The order should have been CDMA radio, data, and sound. I don't believe that's been the order so far, is it?

But the good news is that I might not have to replace this junky TP2 with an Incredible now that development on the CDMA front is speeding along :)

The order hasn't exactly gone as planned, which is typical for any full OS port.

Take civic's last thread for example. He originally planned on getting the RIL tweaked to enable data, but ended up settling on Wifi first (with MrPippy) since it was a much easier task and was a workaround way to enable some form of data. Then the devs found out that the marketplace didn't work so they had to fix that, even though that wasn't planned... and so on

Take out your SIM card and reboot Android

Sound is probably the least of importance to me. I think everything is going great. My order is probably Text > Data > Phone > GPS > Sound > Battery Stuff. :)

Actually we don't know what's next, it has been cdma radio, data, and we are waiting for future releases to see what comes next. This was the first fairly stable release that had data in it.

Again, to each his own.

Having a debate about which feature is most important is all relative; everyone here could argue why their feature is most important with valid arguments. But such a debate is asinine. The fact of the matter is, the devs get to decide what to work on next

Shouldn't be. I just downloaded the newest and deleted the zimage and modules files off the SD card and replaced them with these 2 downloaded files. Don't forget to rename zimage********* (whatever numbers it has) to just "zimage" without the quotes. Mine is working fine.

data for verizon has been working all along on this build. make sure that your sim card is out and that after you boot up go into setting-wireless- network i believe. it will search for a network but won't show verizon. just select automatically choose I believe and you should be set. all of my posts but 1 in this thread have been made while running android excluding this one.

I think everyone agrees that sound is important but the point (or complaint) you make about the development not being done in the correct order makes NO sense... and contributes nothing to this forum.

The android port is being done in bits and pieces by people who on their own time are trying to get everything working. So naturally, things won't be done in any particular order....

In literally 2 weeks, Android for the TP2 has gone from an obscure project for a few dedicated volunteers to this HUGE following with it own dedicated sub-forum.

It's not like they determined ahead of time that they were going to exclude "sound" from the project. No matter what order it happens, it's coming.

Well considering that is how the instructions lay it out, I would hope so! :) Yes, that is the idea behind it all, is use the latest kernel and modules, put MrPippy's latest rootfs.img and you are good. As new kernels get built you just put those in place.

Just make sure you include the modules that come with the kernel! :)

Unless you are going out of the country you don't need it. It isn't fake. But not really usable otherwise. Some have unlocked the SIM radio in the phone allowing them to take a card from a GSM network and use it in the phone, but I have to question WHY? If you are paying for CDMA service why do you need another service? But I am sure there are reasons, like work phone and personal etc, and wanting to have the numbers there. But in that case if they want to use the SIM for GSM, then they can use the GSM builds and have everything working there already, no need for this special build!

can sum1 pls explain...i ger the process of how to get it up in running, @ 1st i did all in 1 zip which worked gud. but i also this mornin wanted 2 figure out how 2 do the long method...so i would have 2 rely on sum1 putting up a all in 1 everytime we get a update. so anyways i click the link 4 kernel sumthing an seen a new updated version 3/9 which of course is 2day an i know wasnt used 4 the all in 1 zip...
