Thanks so much!!!!
After updating the rootfs with this, the GPS got a lock on Google maps inside my apartment in NYC in like 10 seconds, I couldn't believe my eyes.

I have checked "Force CDMA" but I still can't get phone service. Suggestions?

take out your SIM card before you boot Haret. Also make sure you have your Phone in CDMA Only mode under your network settings... But just the SIM will work...

im pretty sure that was for rootfs-20100514-7997b80 and rootfs-20100514-f424a6d .
have you tried rootfs-20100514-37e1b45.zip?

Yeah, it doesn't work, and that's why my post says to use:

http://xdandroid.southcape.org/rootf...14-f424a6d.zip

After that they added the build bot, and it broke GPS.

might be a stupid question, but how do i swap the rootfs file? i extracted it to the folder on the sd card and changed the name to just rootfs but my gps still will not lock at all.

am i doing it wrong?

I am also enjoying this version. Everything looks and works great. Thank you. I am having the locale issue. I can't locate English US or how to define a custom locale. I'd appreciate any help that could be offered.

lol no prob... be sure to always read the first few posts on the first page of threads. they usually have FAQs if they are stickied, or have links to FAQs.
Additionally... You can use the search feature even if you're not signed in! Just some insight

There was a 5/14 build a few pages back and in between lots of posts that I don't understand. The build was okay except i could not use exchange to sync. Can anyone here help or repackage the build with an all in one for this to work? Thanks

I have a sprint touch pro 2 and loaded Android successfully with all data and calls working as well as gps and running real smoothly.

about 20 mins ago I pressed the phone button on the screen and my phone black screened.

It will not turn on using the power button or the reset button under the back plate.

Am I the first to brick?

I posted at the bottom of the previous page. I could not locate English US during the setup. I chose English-UK. Consequently, all the units are in Meters and degrees Celsius. Anyone know how to change the units? Thank you.`

yeah you need to go into the settings and change the scale...i think its in the options for the weather but it could be under settings just go to the weather panel and click your windows key to bring up options

No, not yet its not included in the mainstream fix, but i would assume that it will be added soon. That download link is ONLY the zimage, you will just need to replace the one that is inside your /andboot folder.

Try restarting your phone and installing again. I had the same error and I rebooted and I could install it fine. Make sure your package is 164.9 MB otherwise the download might have corrupted or stopped in the middle.

Did i miss it somewhere, or is there something i am doing wrong? It boots up fine, things are a little laggy but not unusable. My question is, Why does it always say no service or radio is off? i can't ever turn it on, no matter what i try. Am i missing something?

out of memory like RAM or out of storage? I get this in Google maps when turing on traffic, but it'll auto turn off. Never in market place though

My experience so far with the current build has been pretty good. I think the Devs are doing an awsome job to integrate the Android OS onto the TP2.
Not sure if this is a proper work around or not, but for me to almost always ensure my signal is enabled when booting into Android I choose the Rhod400 first then the Rhod500 then check the force CDMA. I then wait for the OS to fully load onto the main screen. It typically loads into landscape mode and I watch the singnal meter. When it comes on I push the (back) hard button and it properly orients my screen. I am actually getting better signal on my phone when in Anroid OS compared to WM...

I have had lock up problems when using Maps or Navigation... Seems like when the GPS gets a lock and locates me on the map the OS locks and I have to remove the battery to get it too boot up.

The battery fix is great and I hope it is possible to integrate it into the Devs build. I like the Update option on the GUI. It makes for an easy way to keep up with the latest builds! Koodoos to ALL who have helped make this possible!!!=D>

Thanks for the feedback bud, just a couple suggestions when you find a bug, you might also be able to find the fix. You can always visit the Project Android HUB here and check the Updates & FAQ:

http://sites.google.com/site/androidport/

Another option would be to use the thread search tool, and then you could have found this:

Enjoy your working GPS. :headbang:
