Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2 Rhodium Updated 5-20-2010

[caldaar]

Ok, I installed the most current full version (and yes Mackie, all on the root ) And it is working great on the TP2. The only thing that I did notice is that the physical keyboard is not mapped correctly on the function keys. So what should be a "/" put is a "+". A "!" is putting in a ":". Is there a way to manualy remap these?

Unfortunately I am not aware of anyone that has done the keymapping for Verizon Rhodium 500. Your best bet is still using the Sprint mapping being as ATT doesn't have the number row. I am not sure why they haven't done a mapping for Verizon. I will see if I can find out what can be done about it. I know on the GSM side they use a separate file for the keymapping instead of building it into the Kernel. So will have to see if that is an easier path for you guys. So till then, just use "physkeyboard=rhod400" is my recommendation. Which is most likely what you are doing, but for whatever reason diff Carriers have to map their keys differently, why, I dunno.

This is a really cool project. I am anxious for you guys to get around to getting the sound working.

Great work so far, looking forward to the next build.

I'm appreciative of all dev's that are working on this...I do have an opinion question for y'all...

what's the chances of an actual working ROM that we can flash to our TP2's without any bits of winmo running in the background at all??

Will we see one prior to Evo dropping on us later this year??

I'm curious to see how our TP2's can perform running Android only...

A full flashable ROM won't happen for a long time, it won't be till things are fully functioning. There is no real advantage to the developers. It has been tested that running off SDCard is much faster than Internal Flash. So another reason not to rush that.

Sorry to be a bubble burster!

no worries...since WinMo phones are so stinking flexible...Android, WinMo 6.1-6.5.3, Ubuntuu, windows 7 phone series(next maybe?) I probably won't see that as I'll be migrating to Android full time when the EVO becomes available.

Have a ball! I am sure if you can help nobody will complain!

Guess i get lucky, always boots the first time. 3-28 is good. For me the next critical path for using this full time is charging. I can live without the sound if i had to until that gets worked out.
