Then try updating the system.sqsh. There was one with market issues. I thought it was not the one included in Civic's package, but I could be mistaken.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

Where is the option to turn off the dim light on WM? I'm stuggling to find it =\

Edit: nvm, found it in settings, but I'm not sure what all needs to be turned off. I'm running Plutonium ROM, Do I need to turn off auto adjusting backlight as well? or just the dimming if the device is not used for x amount of time

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

I think actually I said it. about 65 pages ago.

OK, now I pretty much am trying to be an ass. :-)

cvasale: To disable automatic backlight control in WinMo, go to Settings -> System -> Power -> Backlight and deselect 'Auto Adjust Backlight'

I don't believe you need to turn off dimming (i.e. 'Turn off backlight if device is not used for x mins')

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

Downloaded the files... Got them on the SD card's root...
...now, the only missing piece to get it running is the actual TP2.\\:D/


...Still having fun playing with HTC Hero right now.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

I've followed this thread since day one and have read every post, but I still have a few questions that still bother me:

1) What is the cause for the phone soft resetting itself the first few times you run a new Android build? Is there a way to pervent it?

2) Why does Android always act all weird at first boot where some screens are in landscape, and others portait?

3) Is there a way to 'force' the 3G data connection? Sometimes it doesn't turn on for me and I can't figure out how to force data

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

Cicatrize - any idea what the new kernal does yet?

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

not sure if this has been addressed- but everyone in awhile i get the E symbol instead of 3G.. is that mean EvDO? I did a speed test-- but not during the E and got almost 1mb down and couple hundred up-- can't remember specifically.

keep up the good work!

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

Yes the "E" does stand for EVDO and I have never seen that myself in Android. If this is the case that it does show E when we are on EVDO, it makes me wonder what the 3G stands for ..... possibly only 1x

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

I'm pretty sure those symbols are GSM. So 3G = EVDO and E = Edge aka 1x.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

For those that are having problems getting Android to load, someone a dozen pages back gave me a suggestion that worked. Copy all the files off your memory card to your PC. Format the memory card (Fat32). Take all the files found in the android zip found in post #1, and move them to your memory card. Run Haret.

That worked for me. I am now moving all my files back to the memory card, leaving the root directory alone for Android.

Good work to all who help and helped with this project.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

OK that would make sense then, I haven't had GSM in while and forgot all about EDGE

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

I can confirm this works perfectly as long as you have the latest initramfs;

http://xdandroid.southcape.org/initramfs/

I have everything in a "Droidboot" folder and have had no problems.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

Love the image in your sig
Do you mind if I use it also?

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

I had the info in the FAQ but forgot that MrPippy wasn't pointing them at a new initrd.gz, so they were using the one from the android build. So I updated the faq to represent that heh.

And on the updating a zip on every kernel, you took the words right out of my mouth.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

I think this already got answered by Makkonen, but the Market was fixed in the RIL with the IMEI stuff in the rootfs.img in Post#1 of this thread. The rootfs.img that MrPippy gave Civic didn't have the IMEI stuff. So just make sure you have the proper one in there.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

I am sorry, I don't have an answer for something that doesn't seem to be happening to everyone. There are some that say it goes into a reboot loop, but I don't know if they determined the true answer other than possible corruption on their storage card. Most fixed by formatting their card and copying the files over fresh. Might give that a whirl.

Not quite sure, guessing due to the current state of the android build doesn't see the GSensor properly and goes to a default Landscape view. To fix it has been stated to just press your Windows key and you should be good.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

LOL! Go for it, someone offered it up in 95Civic's thread. :mrgreen:

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

Wonder if Pippy is working hard on something?

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

Can some one who have no issues with screen post their ts-calibration file please, i keep messing it up its really fraustrating. I think there's a glitch, bc the screen gets really responsive (in a bad way) that if you try to hold a widget or shortcut to delete it, it will just open that app/widget. I tried many times to calibrate the screen again, and every time i do it, it works fine for a lil bit, but then after like 10 mins,it gets super responsive by itself. Have no idea why

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

Mackie posted one here:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/attachment...3&d=1268057565

As far as the screen being ULTRA sensitive goes... the devs know about it and are working to fix it. Your issue regarding this is not independent to you only. We all feel your pain :thumbleft:

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

Hence why the first post says touch screen issues... its not a calibration thing. This is extremely alpha/beta build style.. not really meant to be fully working yet.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

Thanks for the responses. You've been thanked

Got one more question: When replacing the zImage file and modules whenever a new build comes out from here, do I need to delete my data.img file and start over from scratch? I don't care either way as I don't mind setting everything up again, I just want to make sure that an old data.img file won't have problems with a newer kernel

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

when all I am doing is adding modules and zImage, I just replace those two things on the SD card and keep on going. If I run into problems, I wipe it all.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

New kernel is nothing new for us.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

I am not exactly sure how to read the webpage http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android/. I see comments below and it looks like 4 or 5 different builds. What exactly am i looking at?

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

I agree I have been watching the threads closely and will only update if it is something that is giving us gains...reason being for the last one, seemed a little snappier...:mrgreen:....it is real simple to try em out though...

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

any of them you want to try....

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

So the comments on the right side aren't specific builds they are just comments on what they were working on within the kernel maybe?

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

correct sir!

(well the comments are specific to that build, & are generally organized by device)

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

Nice, i kinda feel like an idiot but makes a lot more sense now.

*EDIT*
Side note here
I was trying to show someone last night when my battery was super low like 10%ish
and it would never go off the splash screen,
After a charge it worked fine. And was worked every time except then, and i attempted a few times.
Anyone else experience that?

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

The page looks intimidating, but it's actually quite straight-forward. Here's a quick guide on how to navigate it:


Each new updated kernel is timestamped on the left column so that you can tell when it was last updated. Sometimes they update half a dozen times or more a day so it's not necessary to test ever single kernel as it comes out. Unless you want to, of course...

To see the changelog (i.e. what's different/new/fixed about the newest kernel), place your mouse over the button listed under 'Build Log' and a screen will pop up that will allow you to read the changes. Usually it's only one change at a time and many of them are not even related to the Rhodium (a.k.a. Touch Pro2)

In the column further to the right are user comments from those who have tested that particular kernel. At the top of their comment it shows which phone they were using since these kernels are generally phone independent. So, for example, someone with a Diamond will list something like "##DIAM100##" followed by their results with that particular kernel, but that doesn't mean that that kernel is incompatible with your particular device so you can still use it. Pay close attention, though, to any user comments with the word "RHOD" in the title of their comment as this is someone who has specifically tested that kernel on the TP2

Sometimes a lot of comments are made, in which case you just place your mouse over the "..." at the end of that kernel's comment section and it will open a new popup window again with all comments showing. If the text is so long that it can't fit on the page, leave your mouse exactly where it is and use the arrow keys on your keyboard to scroll down. If you move your mouse, you'll lose the popup window

The votes on the far right are where users have reported if the build is stable or not

To download a kernel, simply click the button under 'Package' and then replace the zImage and module files on your phone. Be sure to rename the zImage file to exactly that (i.e. 'zImage' without the quotes - remove the rest of the stuff)

Porting an entire OS is very much not a scientific process. It's a lot of trial and error so a new build is not ALWAYS better than an old one. Sometimes newer builds break stuff. For example, the latest build currently listed as I write this won't even boot up past the splash screen for Diamond users, even though the build just before it worked fine. So play around with it and if something breaks, just restore the zImage and modules from a previous build that works correctly

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

I'm making progress.. Got it to say Verizon Wireless...but I could not make a call or use data...saw somewhere to check additional call settings..it never moved from that screen..
any suggestions..

edit:
by the way... what color should the signal strength bars be? Mine are grey...I'm thinking they should be green

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

Me too. I am not huge on donating for things like this but it was so amazing i felt it was the best way to say thanks.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

They are grey and white, with grey being total possible signal and white being actual signal. If yours are only grey then you likely have a weak signal

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

First,Thank everyone for the hard work.Everything is working as said,market,data. Now does it matter that my sprint phone on boot says gsm phone found!

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

I had an issue with my wifi working too. Make sure that when you copy over the zImage to the root of the drive you delete the old modules and add the corresponding modules file (without renaming) to the root of the SD drive also. This fixed my wifi issue right away. This was using the build titled

Build: htc-msm-android@20100309_201223

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

You are correct. You posted it on page 8 and Civic was page 36. Thanks to both of you for all of the great info.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2

I loaded up this badboy, gonna play around with it.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

Let us know... So far, It looks like others have not had much luck with it booting :(

I hope you have better luck than the others.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 

Changes to both kernels today are for different devices. There's nothing new here for us TP2 users

But load it if you please. That's the nice part about this whole project - you don't have to wait for a chef to cook up a new build for you; you can do it yourself whenevs you want :thumbleft:
