Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2

[biff6789]

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.......it is real simple to try em out though...
