Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

I doubt MrPippy is going to update it for new kernels etc, that's why he linked that in his instructions for you guys to update to the latest if you want. His work was done on the rootfs.img which had the RIL info we needed for CDMA Voice/Data. As changes progress making more adjustments to the CDMA specific stuff etc he will probably update the 1st post accordingly. Or any other major enhancements like Audio, GPS or Camera etc. I could see him updating then, even if it is in the Kernel or a new init. So I would just get in the habit of reading the changelogs at the Glemsom site and see if you want to update your kernel and modules or not.

And yes, the data.img is your actual filesystem, moreso like your home directory in Linux. So unless major enhancements warrant it, or you start experiencing issues, you ideally should be able to keep that and just update the zimage, modules, init and rootfs as needed. But if you are having trouble then of course you might have to forego your data.img and let it recreate it to fix any bugs. And some enhancements change the way things are written/updated so that's when you would have to delete that file as well.

Hope that helps enlighten things. Enjoy your Android, I know I am! :)

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

again, pippy hasnt added this yet so I am not jumping the gun and providing that in the startup. I think that would be rude on my part.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

Extracted files to the root of the sd card by right clicking on the file

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

What all did you already have on your sd card?

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

I removed the sim card too

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

I was using civic 95 3-6 without problems...Removed all the android files prior to copying yours.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

I dont know, I didnt have a problem with the new modules and kernel. Again, I gave it hell for 2 hours before I released it.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

i did noticed that it created a folder instead of directly into the card.

I will re-flash again.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

copy all that out of the folder and onto the root of your sd card.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

Oops, missed your reply; just went back and read it. Your explanation makes perfect sense, sorry about that! :)

..and yes, this new kernel seems noticeably quicker even without the force 3d.

Updated post with directions. My bad

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

So does adding "hw3d.force=1" to the startup.txt make a difference in speed performance???

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

Mixed results from what I read on XDA. Some things didn't work right.

Seems alot faster to me out of the box.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

It works!

Thank you!

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

.

Again my apologies, I updated the post though so that wont happen again lol

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

i guess no1 seen my post about the kernels getting a update as of today... it was the post about that followed by a question, thats prolly why no1 seen it cuz of the question.

but what sort of changes can we see threw the updated kernels an such? is it only kernels an such that will have major updates or is it all including rootfs and zimage and such?

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

i think the hardware acceleration gives you smother transitions and fades and stuff. It also hesitates on loading apps at the same time, so it is just that experimental.

If you wanna try just add the line to your startup.txt. If you dont like, remove it .

Simple enough.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

Not to worry...Thanks for your help.

I hit the thank you button on a couple posts for you.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

Thanks, I need it. Alot of my posts with info never get thanked so I appreciate it.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

new zImage and modules (tar file)

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

That sucks doesn't it... FYI, I always hit thanks. Its the least I can do.


IF SOMEONE HELPED YOU OR YOU USE THEIR $***... THE LEAST U CAN DO IS HIT THANKS:):):)!!!

So... Thanks:)

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

wow, i get that just by extracting...

i actually was looking for more specifics!

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

You can go to http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android/ and read it. Post 1 has the link as well. I simply combined everything into a one file download to make it easy for people. Just adding to the community.

I do notice a speed difference though.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

ok maybe we are not on the same page. i get the link on post 1, as thats where i noticed there was an update! and when i looked this morning there was an update and it had no notes then later in the day there was another update but the notes didnt show any difference (2 me) then the previous one on 3/8...

in your post it sounds as if your reply w/ sarcasim unless we were truely on 2 different pages so 2 say...

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

ok now i see your updated your post w/ speed increase, so thats what i was asking what were the changes

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

no sarcasm on this side.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

On the glemsom site, there is a difference in the Change Log aka Build Log, and the Comments. Comments are just that, someone tested the kernel and reported their findings, it may or may not have anything to do with our particular phones etc being as the kernel is generic for multiple devices. But the Build Log if you Mouse over it, shows what is actually updated in that particular release. Anytime one of the devs commits a change there is a new kernel. So it might just be something minor, or it may be something very sweet and cool! So that's what he was stating is checking that site to see what was changed in that particular kernel release.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

Hey guys I've run into a brickwall earlier this week and can't get past it, below are the issues I'm seeing:

First Issue - 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. The only build I've been able to successfully launch was the one released on 1/25/09.

NOTE: Mazzakre provided me with a workaround which was to use the rootfs file from the 1/25/09 release.

Second Issue - After using the workaround (replacing rootfs file) I can not get past the "Learn how to use your XDANDROID" page. Here is what occurs every time (out of 15-20 attempts):
1. Launch Haret.exe, device displays the animated "X" splash screen
2. The "Welcome to XDANDROID" page is displayed, I tap the droid figure (page is displayed in landscape mode)
3. The "Learn how to use your XDANDROID" page is displayed but the device doesn't respond to touchscreen. When I press any physical key I am directed back to the "Welcome to XDANDROID" page. (page is displayed in portrait mode)

I've tried multiple SD cards with the same behavior (both first issue and second) everytime. Please note because of the field of work I'm in these are engineer sample device (e.g. pre-release) but I checked the H/W version [0004] that I have and it's what was released to the public so I doubt that would be the issue. The only other thing I can think of is this device is unlocked for GSM (which I have the SIM out when attempting to install Droid OS).

Any help or advice you guys have would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.

As I understand it, the hardware 3d only comes into play in a very limited set of circumstances -- seems to be mostly for games and tech demos.

Hardware 3d has nothing to do with the rendering of the android home screen, or the transitions or animations. Those will all run the same with hardware 3d enabled, with software 3d, or with broken 3d.

The fact that the system is being booted from WinMo (as speculated by someone else) also has no effect on the speed or responsiveness of the GUI.

As far as what actually is slowing down the interface, I have heard mention that reading the entire system from SD causes a great deal of overhead. Apparently SD reading and writing is actually fairly processor intensive. Additionally, there might be some issue with the method used for blitting (for writing efficiently to the screen).

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

# 4 will be solved when we get our first .nbh file :) that boots Droid!!!!


Wishlist 2.0


Sound,
GPU
BT

Droid on ROM!

doesnt have to be in that order ;)

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

This thread and the development is moving along quite nicely i must say. Maybe soon we might get Sense UI thrown into the mix ;)

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

i am waiting for my external speaker and camera. that would make it almost everyday usable. appreciate all the hard work people are putting in.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

Is it possible your Calibration for the screen is messed up? As sensitive as the screen is, it is real easy to miss a box when calibrating, you should have a total of 5 boxes you tapped on during setup. If that is a possibility, then I would delete your ts-calibration file from the root and next time you boot Android it should prompt you to re-calibrate, just be careful, some say using your finger to touch each box works better, haven't tested that theory yet myself, but regardless make sure it sees each box, Top left, Top Right, Middle, Bottom Left and Bottom Right. In that order, if you didn't have to touch a box then it took one of your taps as it on a previous tap. So delete and repeat.

Good Luck.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

ok, the "mouse over" was wat i was looking 4, thanks but as far as comments i was confused 1 of the device info. and 2 the 1st update today had none. so clearing that up helped out my understanding as thats all i was after

thanks agian

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

I wonder how accurate the signal meter is. I get alot more signal on Android than I do with the other setup. I get no bars in my house with Windows Mobile and a few 2-3 with Android.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

There has been a bug I think in WM for the TP and TP2 for awhile now on custom ROMS not showing the Signal meter properly. Android probably doesn't exhibit the same issues.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

lol what a shocker, a bug on WM. I guess thats why we have this thread and sub forum.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

tonight i will go to sleep and dream of using pandora on my droid'ed TP2.

Perhaps in 5 more kernel updates ;)

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

Thank you for the help so far. I attempted what you suggested but I do not see a calibration after deleting the ts-calibration file. The only screen I can navigate to after the animated "X" splash screen are the "Welcome to XDANDROID" and "Learn how to use your XDANDROID" screens. The weird thing is I got a force close notificaition which responded to the touchscreen and was accurate. However when I attempt to tap "Skip" or "Begin" they do not respond to touch.

Is there a way I can dump a log file or something I can post from the SD card that would help troubleshoot?

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

Wow, I've never seen a project progress so quickly! I was telling a friend a few weeks ago that I was hoping for wifi early spring and data by summer, but this is much better! A little better touch screen calibration, external speaker, GPS and better battery life and Android will probably be my main OS. Big thanks to MrPippy & 95Civic, donations headed your way after I get paid!

I also want to thank FlyersFan & 00_MACKIE_00 (as well as others) for being so helpful and patient with the new people just discovering Android on the TP2!

My sister showed me her new MotoDroid yesterday and I was like "yeah I can run Android too if I feels like it". :mrgreen:
