As for Blazin - using Linpack for Android, I am getting an average of about 4 MFLOPS compared to around 1 MFLOP with the prior 7/1 version, and about 2 MFLOPS with 2.1

Hey Guys,
I not understanding how this is all working... When using this android rom on the TP2 are we using just the Android OS or are we using 2 OS's, Winmo and Android. Are we completely deleting the rom we have on right now and installing android? Can someone give me a quick overview? I am reading that wifi is not working and such so then why dont they switch back to winmo and do those thing then switch back to android....

Thanks is advanced and i hope this is not a dumb question.

Sorry, I had a nice long post written out for you, but Firefox decided to crap out when submitting it, so it's all gone. The short gist of it...

Read the first few posts/FAQ, it's a wealth of knowledge on this. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=114400

Short and quick answer: No, it's not a ROM, it's adding a second OS to run. When you boot Android, it closes down WM and boots Android entirely from your SD card. To get back to WM, just reboot and it'll automatically load back up. Wifi is...an ongoing issue that's being worked on.

Weird, on 7/1 I would get around 4.5 MFLOPS with nothing changed.. Haven't tried this one yet..

I am going back to the sense 2.1 version at least that version had the data working on it. I can get the data working on this version.

I had the same problem, got mine working now. From Wozzer999@PPCG:
Setting up a mock APN worked for me. To do so, go to Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > Press the Android Key > Name = "aaa", Server = "internet.com". Hit back, and enable it. It seemed to fix right away, but may need a reboot.
Thanks jtown for the tip!

I am trying to use the Android 2.1 Version with Sense but I can't remove widgets. When i tap and hold the 'remove' button comes up but when i release it goes away and opens up the phone function. is there a trick to doing this?

also, with the startup utility, what does the 'Hardware 3D' option refer too?

To remove a widget, long press on the widget, then slide it down into the remove button (turns into a trash can).

You are quite welcome. glad it has helped so many. I did not discover it though, so i cannot take credit for it.

But happy to help however I can!

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [7/01] FROYO BETA ADDED!
 
just tried froyo on my sprint tp2.
so much smoother and more fluid than before.
i am a but bummed about wifi falling back to not-working list.
but overall, it is much more usable.

i apologize for thinking that this was a dead project when evo came out.
you guys rock!

now, only if sound worked, i'd bring my whole family over from winmo.

GOD BLESS YOU! lol

I've been waiting for the WiFi fix before upgrading from 2.1 AOSP and now I can! :)

Are you going to refresh your "Blazin" packing accordingly? You don't have to... I was just asking... pretty please?

EDIT: NVM, I see it's just a rootfs update :) Also, what is A2SD?

SoD happens with the TP2. I haven't seen one since I overclocked.
I really need the battery life to go up... This morning, it rebooted to windows.
Finally this morning, the LED isn't solid orange, it's flashing green.

The autoupdate tool worked like a charm, and wifi is working. This project is truly amazing!
Thanks for all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes.

I will try the auto-update again maybe... it didn't boot last time after I did the auto-update.

I have the same problem. It boots until I get the Android taskbar, and then reboots into WinMo. I am uninstalling and deleting files to see if that will help.

UPDATE: After uninstalling and deleting files, I was able to install and successfully run Android. I have not updated any of the files, so I will try that next. I was also successful getting data working!

UPDATE: I did not see Reefermattness's post below until after I installed the updates. After backing them out, I am up and running again. Thanks!

Now my 3G Verizon Data connection does not work. I tried deleting my APN and re-adding it, with no success.

EDIT: put into airplane mode, waited 60 seconds, and took out of airplane mode - started working

Updated via the update tool without a problem. Thanks!
As an aside anyone know of a good wi-fi tethering app to use my phone as a hot spot while in android?

Just came to 2.2 from 2.1 AOSP and MY GOD the browser is fast! Even faster than Opera Mini 5 in WinMo. I love it!

Just run the update or delete the old rootfs file first?

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [7/15] FROYO WIFI WORKING
 
I will agree that this is the best droid edition yet for the TP2.
Fast
smooth
Did i say fast.
But, after getting the apn and contacts in, I read the post previous and it said the update works.
Before I did the apn and contacts i had previously tried to run the updates via the program, (very good work BTW) and it basically made every attempt to run the droid restart.
So I did it again thinking that everything would be fine.
It's not. It's doing the shut down after start up again.](*,)

Is there something I need to do to get it back?
I don't want to have to reinstall just to get it back.

************Just saw a post on what to do. I'll Try it.**************


Regards,

Bill

I just ran the update without deleting the old rootfs file and it worked just fine. All my setting were retained too, which was great.

Updated to the new rootfs and WiFi works... sort of. :( When I enable WiFi it sees all the available networks. When I touch my network a dialog box comes up to enter my network key. I enter the key and it says "Connecting...". After a few seconds it says "Disconnected", then "Scanning", then "Connecting..." again. After a few seconds it repeats the cycle. Any ideas? This is on the wireless network at work, I'm going to try with my home network when I get home tonight to see if that helps.

If you are trying to connect to a WEP protected access point........none of the builds can. Maybe someday but as of now only open and WPA access points work. Other than that I'm not sure...

Doh! It is a WEP. Thanks!

EDIT: Sure enough, went home to my WPA protected network and all is good. Really good, since 3G is very spotty where I live.

Hey Guys
I am wondering why i have only 177mb of memory. GPS wont display layers (traffic) for more than 2 seconds... Is there a way to make droid detect the remaining space on my SD card?
Thanks in advance

To the developers, awesome work you guys are doing. I wish I have the know-how on how you guys are accomplishing these tasks! But now I'm facing some issues with the latest build. I've downloaded the latest Froyo w/ wifi support build (rar), unrar, copy to SD card and booted up fine, however I am not able to pick up any cell network (on Sprint here). Is there anything special I need to do to get it to work? I also have the SIM card removed.

2phonejones 07-15-2010 09:15 PM

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [7/15] FROYO WIFI WORKING
 
and i think overclocking it would help, i think im gonna do that now.
