WisTilt2's Test Kernel & Battery Life Improvement
 

Try out WisTilt2's test kernel in [TESTING] New Kernel (Speakerphone/autobl). He's testing some new power management code as well as some adjustments to his in-call speakerphone mic fix. It should improve your battery life.

I can confirm that this is true. If you run QuickGPS from WinMo before booting into Android you won't have to worry about waiting forever while it attempts to get a lock.

Make sure your startup.txt has pm.sleep_mode=1 in the command section.

i downloaded the cab and ran it everything went good but after droid is up it says no service and so i search for network and forever just kept searching can someone help thanks

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [11/221] FRX03 Reference!
 

Remove the SIM card and try again. Android randomly finds the SIM card and will do that.

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [11/221] FRX03 Reference!
 

looks like this is mainly happening when i'm on a call, because the brightness is dimmed afterwards. by the zero responses, i'm guessing i'm the only one who has experienced this?

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [11/221] FRX03 Reference!
 

With what build can you set the pm.sleep_mode to 1. Ref or BlazN?

When I tried this (with TRIAD setup), Android comes up, but processes begin crashing. I am trying to overcome the SOD that happens overnight.

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [11/221] FRX03 Reference!
 

Hello,

I am a bit new at this and just did my first ROM flash,but wanted to try Android also.

I downloaded ProjectAndroid2.2Froyo.121610 and installed it to my storage card. SIM card out and no overclocking. I believe I am a Rhod400 with Sprint.

I get the android flash screen and animation, but no more. Reinstalled once. Suggestions?

I appear to be rather dead in the water...

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [11/221] FRX03 Reference!
 

question: can I install this android into an encrypted SD card?
thanks

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [11/221] FRX03 Reference!
 

I had same problem and found that I had to add force_cdma=1 to the startup.txt. Just put it in the set cmdline somewhere. That's what worked for me.

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [11/221] FRX03 Reference!
 

Try backing up the entire card, reformat it, then reinstall Android. Double check your startup file for the correct entries. Yes, a Sprint TP2 is a rhod400.

Are you overclocking? Try booting Android without overclocking.

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [11/221] FRX03 Reference!
 

Thanks. I read a bit and cut out the overclocking, so doubt that is the problem... initial screen just comes up and runs and runs and runs.... I have an old 4GB card from my 6800 days and can reformat it (FAT32 I believe) and try again. I believe all my overclocking stuff sits on the storage card, so if I take it out should be definite solution to avoiding that. I'll report back.

I want to see how Android runs since my next phone is likely to be Android unless they do major surgery on Windows Phone 7.

Once you get the basic package running, install the 3D drivers by tiad8. Made a huge difference in the way Android runs.

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [11/221] FRX03 Reference!
 

Ok, here is what I did to get mine to finally work with a good amount of stability. Any other way I tried did not work and I tried several ways.

1. uninstall and remove all android file references from storage card (no class 10).
2. Install from this thread link.
3. Copy new zimage and module files from xda-forums for 12-25 under TP2.
4. Launch using haret.exe give it as much time as it needs to load or crash or whatever.
5. Reboot launch using startup utility, only check rhod400 and force cdma. give it a long time after startup before dinking with it.

you now have working android that is fairly stable. I tried other ways and recieved many errors, lockups, reboots, etc...

I think I might try the 3d drivers again but maybe not since everthing is working ok except exchange email from 1 account (calendar is syncing though) and I hate to have to reload everything. Good luck.

Feel free to email me and I can email you the 2 files right away. email darylrue@gmail.com . Good luck. Hope the above instructions work for you and it is not just me.

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [11/221] FRX03 Reference!
 

I appreciate the offer of help, but I bagged the try from the .cab and am trying the .rar now. I hung for 5 minutes on a message that I needed the roofile system unzipped... then it took off again. But looks like it is hung.

I looked in the files and there is a rootfs.img. I'll see what that does.

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [11/221] FRX03 Reference!
 

Thanks. Am up and running. Did not realize the root file system folder had to be moved. Now next thing is to get the phone/data to work, then on to gmail and see how that works.

Note: Got the phone working editing the CDMA = 1 not 0 in startup

Gmail also working,

People may not be familiar with the refeence on synching Outlook and Gmail components:

Thanks for the help.

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [11/221] FRX03 Reference!
 

Just got around to trying to play with fxr03 and (also tiad's mods) and they both seem horribly nearly uselessly slow. I had previously had success using blazin2.2 from september as an basically usably quick system, any ideas what I should be looking at to understand the root of my slow speeds?

Update:
So it appears that the android startup utility had checked "HW3D" and that that was causing my insane slow issues; is this option not neccesary to make use of the newer 3d driver sets?

PS I don't intend to bash, I was just legitimately confused why it seemed like things had slowed down so much... This project is defintely doing great stuff, and it feels like I will have support on my "old" phone much past any life winmo was going to give it. Thanks All!

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [11/221] FRX03 Reference!
 

Have to say I agree with you with only 12h experience. I guess this proves the point you can get Android up and running on a TP2, but it is too slow to be useful. Maybe we are missing something. My build is in my signature. I did not OC the Android build. This is all a bit tricky interacting with the Windows Mobile OCing.

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [11/221] FRX03 Reference!
 

I have been using FRX03 + a handful of tweeks (from TIAD8 and ACL) for the past month or so, including zImage (1245), 12/20 gralloc, 11/30 gLIB, ...

Not every tweek is compatible with every zImage, module, application, configuration setting.

Here's one suggestion: if you are using Advanced Task Killer, remove it and chose a different Task Manager. Additionally, after removing ATK, reboot into Haret without overclocking.

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [11/221] FRX03 Reference!
 

I have to disagree with jlpatte and jerryyyy, although it may not be a full port and still have some bugs here and there, this thing has taken off of late and is getting better and better on a daily basis. Personally mine is running a lot smoother and with less bugs/glitches than winmo. I think one problem you may have is the amount of changes and test files that are coming out lately, all of which are just tests, and like fried said, they may not work with each other. First off, make sure you're not OC'ing in WM. I would recommend starting with one build (reference or blazn), get that up and running, then once it's running good, start tweaking, but don't delete or overwrite files when you make a change, just remove the files you want to change (don't overwrite the zimage, just move it to a different place so you can revert back to it if you don't like the new changes). And often when my system's getting laggy, etc, I'll just delete the old data.img and let is build another, seems to fix many of my issues.

What fishingmedic said was right on the money. If you are experiencing a slow or laggy android, you've done something wrong. The basic package should work reasonably well without adding the latest kernal. I am currently running the 3D package verbatim from tiad8 with great success. Didn't mess with the startup text, module, zimage or drivers as he put them together and this thing flies and has great battery life. I would say try again. Android is a little tricky, but has progressed to the point where it can almost be used on a daily basis.

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [11/221] FRX03 Reference!
 

I am with you on this. Not clear why it seems slow, but worthwhile debugging... as it is either Windows Phone 7 or Android for the next phone and this is a good chance to understand how Android works.

It seems that right after I installed it was faster. The only thing I did after installing was to get the radio to work by changing the force CDMA parameter 0->1 (my SIM card is out) and then I configured my gmail account.

Is there a way to monitor active processes? That is easy enuf to do in Windows, fedora or Ubuntu, but not sure how to do that in a phone distro.

Cheers

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [11/221] FRX03 Reference!
 

Quick question, but first let me say thanks to all the developers working on this project. I have a Rhodium 400. I know the 3.5mm output still isn't functional yet. My question is, what do the other phone models use? Is it just a usb => 3.5mm adapter? If that's all, is there any reason I just can't use that as a work around on my sprint phone?

Which build are you using? Your sig has 2.1 listed and I found those to be quite buggy.

Wirelessly posted (Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.2; en-us; MSM Build/MASTER) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1)

As far as I know, audio output either way is not working right now.

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [11/221] FRX03 Reference!
 

Was actually 2.2. What I did this AM was to download anew the:

XDAndroid2.2Froyo.121610

XDAndroid2.2BLAZN.092810

Versions. I installed them both in separate directories on my SD card. I then removed all overclocking files from my WinMo install just to be sure.

The Froyo install ran still slowly. The BLAZN was substantially faster and almost usable. My previous complaints were about the Froyo build.

I assume there are other builds to try, but I am only into this for 2 days and it is vacation-time. Will have less time for "recreational computing" when back at work next week.

In any case, hats off to the developers. I have written 1000s of lines of C++ in Fedora and can feel the pain.

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [11/221] FRX03 Reference!
 

there is a way that you can try and get the 3.5mm jack to work for sprint but i cant seem to find it to point you toward that direction..search for it,it has been asked(by me as well since i have a sprint tp2)..the only bad thing that itll disable all your audio(calls,ringtones,etc)..i havent tried this though so idk if it works or not..

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [11/221] FRX03 Reference!
 

I have discovered that just loading the following cabs, not even overclocking, impedes the startup of XDAndroid2.2BLAZN.092810.

MortScript-4.2-PPC
Msm7kCpuSpeed_v2
OC_ Auto_v4.21

Is there a safe way to turn on and off OC in WinMo?

when using oc_auot4.2, there is a safe speed and duration that will let you run the stock speed to give you enough time to boot android.

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [11/221] FRX03 Reference!
 

Fellas I took advantage of the $99 evo deal from radio shack on friday...so I guess that means I'm moving on to the next forum. (man, I'm sweating this is worse than breaking up with a chick lol)

I wanna thank all the devs and users in this thread for the support, effort, & sense of community that we've fostered here! The progress has truly been amazing.

Without your trailblazing spirit I never would have enjoyed the android experience on my phone.

Happy new years to all!

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [11/221] FRX03 Reference!
 

OK, if it works for you, will give it a shot at most conservative settings. Edit: yes, it does work. I guess I need to reset to these settings if I want to use Android.

Wirelessly posted (Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IEMobile 8.12; MSIEMobile6.0) Sprint T7380)

My settings are:
Safe Speed enabled - Stock Speed
Duration - 100000 (100 seconds)
Current Speed - your overclock
Throttled Speed - 604
Poll Interval - 1000

Works like a charm and gives me time to boot haret before the overclock kicks in.

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [11/221] FRX03 Reference!
 

I get it. You reboot WinMo and these setting delay WinMo OCing long enough to start up Haret/Android. Works fine.

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [11/221] FRX03 Reference!
 

I've noticed slow/laggy Android when I try using the "battery trick", or whenever I boot into Android with the phone plugged into charger (not sure if this is documented with this build, or just my personal experience). It occasionally will be slow with a boot when the chargers not plugged in, but if i retry it once (or maybe twice) it goes back to running smooth as silk. To anyone noticing a laggy experience (that have done everything that's been suggested as far as trying an untweeked version and not O/C), I would suggest a couple simple reboots into Android to see if that solves the problem.

I love this build and all the work you guys have done. Thanks a million, and thanks to ndno for putting it into the all-in-one package.

To prevent having to reboot into Android every morning, it would be convenient to leave it charging in Android all night. Is this safe to do?

No issues keeping android charging overnight.

Im using gingerbread alpha yassssssssssssssssssss pure awesome.

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [11/221] FRX03 Reference!
 

FYI, it sounds very much like you two are running into the system process choking the CPU bug that is very common these days. If your build is running significantly less smooth than tiad8's video, this is most likely what's going on:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/tp2-androi...x03-tiad8.html

There's a bug that's causing the system process to randomly consume all of the CPU on boot, slowing Android to a crawl. This only happens some of the time, and it's unclear what is causing it, but the devs are aware of the issue and looking into it. It can usually be fixed by making a call to any number, voicemail is an easy one. Alternatively, using Dev Tools => Bad Behavior => crash the system server also usually fixes it.
