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:

No problem, I dont mind helping.

No reason to dream about it, Pandora runs great as is. You just can't hear it heh! But it does work! :)

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?

I am no expert, but that makes no sense whatsoever. Do you have some more info on your setup? Like what ROM are you using? Is it Calkulins Android ROM? If so and running off his setup instead of the SDCard, maybe he has a ts-calibration file in there. Or are you trying to run Android via a directory on your SDCard, if so maybe for some reason you have that ts-calibration file somewhere in the directory. But I was pretty sure it only accesses it via the root.

If you really want to work on getting this going, I would go ahead and wipe all the Android stuff off the storage card and try and copy the files again. Either use one of the ts-calibration files others have posted in this thread, sorry, don't have one avail to upload for you right at moment, but if still in need I will do it when I can here later on. But sounds like something is hosed in your data.img or something. So I would basically start over and see if that helps you at all.

Using the Civic rootfs that MrPippy helped with will work, but you will be missing out on the IMEI stuff and updated RIL fixes that make it run more stable and you won't have Market then and that will be a huge loss. So I would focus on working on getting the current rootfs working and see if what might be going on.

Sorry bout all your woes, hopefully starting over helps. But going back to the ts-calibration. I have done numerous tests on where it sees files and such and if that file doesn't exist it won't even finish booting till the screen gets calibrated, either right or wrong heh. You will see a little white box in the top left corner if it is working and if you can read it, it is asking you to calibrate by tapping the box. And then of course it moves onto the next box etc.

Yep... as of right now, android boots out of windows by loading a file on of your SD card... just turn of or reset your phone and you will be in WINMO when the phone turns back on:)

There really is no harm in just trying it. Android will run off your micro SD and will have no effect on the WM OS. Simply reset the device and you will boot back into WM.

Ya, it isn't quite that easy unfortunately. It will definitely be announced and surely be a big deal like 3g data was etc. But there is no partial working at all quite yet. It is the fact that drivers haven't been figured out for it. The devs are definitely doing everything they can to figure it out though. So just be patient.
