If you got problems with the way things are being done, make your own thread or go gripe on IRC and don't destroy this thread, especially a thread several people have put time into..Might I also add this was free time. I have 4 kids and a wife and over 30 fish, and a bird, and 3 dogs I put other time into as well yet I decided to help when this thread was created. Also note, this time was FREE to add to the community. No donations or anything have ever been asked for.

For those with positive attitudes, thank you for being nice. For everyone else, go complain somewhere else.



Thanks

Since you are on tmobile - maybe you have a GSM phone and not CDMA? You might need a slightly different build as this thread is for the CDMA (or dual) mode devices. Not sure maybe you can remove an option in the startup.txt.


From Post 2
Current PPCGeeks GSM Thread with support for CDMA now
Here is the PPCGeeks GSM Thread which now supports CDMA options that works well. Has a CAB that installs a base XDAndroid build and shortcut as well as a script that lets you update your kernel, rootfs as well as your initrd.gz all from your phone. Nicely done.

Hmmm....not sure if it has been discussed, but has anyone had trouble with the accelerometer calibration? It seems to be able to read the sensor data, but it fails to calibrate.

Never tried calibrating....but as far as accelerometer goes...is there a way to fix how the home screen boots in landscape initially? it doesnt flip to portrait the first time either unless i slide open/close the tp2...

what REALLY bugs me though is that after several texts or maybe its after a couple hours...sms won't send (discovered today that i can still receive sms when this happens) until i reboot android.
i made a post but it seems like no one knows anything about this?

I dont think its that they dont know but if you read through these threads about Android on TP2 you will probably see that is was already adressed or something was said about it. Sometimes to avoid conflict people wont respond at all and just hope that you look a little harder for the answer.. Most people do exactly what you did ... Reboot Android. This whole thing is a work in progress so often times the developers that are working on this may not necessarily be working on the problem you are having but rather another BIGGER problem that EVERYONE is having. As far as the phone rebooting in landscape thats also a known problem but MAY not be as important as getting sound or bluetooth working. As far as that issue goes you can either press the back button hard key on the bottom of your TP2 or you can open and close the hardkey board and they both will switch your phone to portrait. I hope I have helped. Good luck in your searches.

Wow, this port is way better than expected. I think I'll stick with Mighty/Sense 2.5 for everyday use, but this will be fun to play with this weekend.

I haven't said much since I got the auto download program to update XAndroid and I must say that I love the progress. We have more than half of what we asked for from the gate.

Sure new devices are coming out that are faster, bigger and more expensive, plus they have the OS we are attempting to piece together. Those who will switch good for you, those who don't good for you.

I would love to have a play phone with Android on it, especially the HTC Evo, but Sprint would make me change my service plan which is ridiculous (SERO 1250 + 3 any numbers, with Google Voice for under $50). If it was windows mobile like T-Mobile I would jump on it because sprint wouldn't care.

I look at it this way with my windows mobile I can do what the other OS do, can they. I can clone myself to look like them, I can even run their OS on my OS, I can... do so many things and its all on one single phone, can they? Look at the IPAD a giant Ipod touch compared to the HP Slate which is a IPAD size computer. So sure the IPAD is fun, but not practical for much more than it was designed for (entertainment), the Slate on the other hand can be used for entertainment, business, education, etc.

So the choice is on each of us. Keep up the development please, so we all can enjoy it.

Exactly.

Has anyone else had problems with SMS after a while? The problem is that the message seems to be sending forever, and I'm sure this isn't a problem with my reception; I had 3G and full bars. This has happened to me only once this morning, but someone else has also been having this issue. Looking around for a fix to this, please help if you can. Also, if you do find a resolution, you should post it in the FAQs for anyone else

I believe that the HP Slate has been delayed because of their acquisition of Palm. They want to put WebOS on that baby. And oh man, that would be sweet.
