Re: [CAB] GSM Project Android Port and Startup Utility [03/31/10] NOW SUPPORTS CDMA

Found what I'd consider a bug in the launcher app. When you're on the Auto-Update screen and updating the files, if you switch to another program, or the screen goes black due to the timeout, you can't get back to the auto-update screen when you go back to the program and you'll be stuck on the homescreen with the device keymap selection and you can't get to the update screen to see the progress.

New Rootfs: Verizon Wireless Keymapping

Hey guys, now for the nice part about the update utility. This is the part where I don't have to make completely new builds just for 1 small update. :P

Commits from today for the Rootfs:

Add RHOD500 keymap (thanks to 1900 and Hoochster)

Any Rhodium 500 users (Verizon Wireless) that want your correct TP2 keymapping, just update your rootfs file, and select your keyboard during the startup utility! Good work guys! :)

Enjoy!

Hey, enjoying this on my Touch Pro 2 getting familiar with Android and whatnot. Just wish the gps and camera worked but its ok as its helping me understand this new os. One thing I found funny was after setting it up Google sent me an email welcoming me and my Nexus one....

Anyway thank you for this and I hope you can unlock other features in the near future before the Evo is released lol.

If everyone could get the battery icon to work correctly and the speaker to work I would be ecstatic. Still awesome to show it off.

Re: [CAB] GSM Project Android Port and Startup Utility [03/31/10] NOW SUPPORTS CDMA

Hmmm - still not able to get data working on this, which prevents me from being able to sign into gmail. The phone says "no service", which is odd, because I made sure I checked the Force CDMA in the startup utility. I do have a T-Mobile SIM card installed right now, so that might be part of the problem. Data worked fine with the CDMA only version before I found this one. There is a lot to like about the dual mode and the auto update feature is great.

So, any other ideas? Thanks.

Or, maybe I dont know why it would be different for you, but check your APN settings.

Try changing your startup.txt to exactly this:

Thanks, but no joy. I edited the startup.txt file - no go. I am also on Sprint and I do not see APN settings for Sprint. I suppose since I have a T-Mobile SIM card in the phone that I can try those settings. BTW, I saw on another thread where people on that thread are seeing the exact thing I am here - their phones will not register on Sprints network for some reason. I will keep trying to fix this - thanks again for the help.

UPDATE: One other thing I noticed, was that the phone keeps coming up in Airplane Mode, and I cannot clear it - it never is able to find the network.

2ND UPDATE: Okay, I got it up and running, but I had to remove the SIM card to do it. I shut it down after verifying that it was working and reinstalled the SIM card. It is no longer working. I will check the settings again, but I think there are still some issues with having a SIM card installed and trying to run CDMA.

If you are on T-Mobile, you are GSM, so use a GSM version of Android. This thread is supposed to be merge of both into one, so you can try it. Since it runs on your SD card, it should not cause a problem.

Re: [CAB] GSM Project Android Port and Startup Utility [03/31/10] NOW SUPPORTS CDMA

So what APN settings should I use for Sprint? Sorry I not very savvy with these things but am good at following directions. My install is great except for the data portion.
