commit e64a30f577c9d9f01273c010c38b4e9c6efa9675
Author: mweirauch <dev@m-phasis.de>

topa/rhod: Drive AXI bus @160Mhz when A11 is @528Mhz

This re-enables the so called "turbo mode". Some benchmarking
figures indicate better memory performance.

Tested for two days with no issues regarding stability or increased
heat dissipation.

Thx for the update Cflynt!

Just wanted to thank you guys for this. It's amazing how far it's gotten so far. One thing that may be helpful that I found out by mistake, GPS seemed to WORK in the gsm version on my cdma verizon touch pro 2. I downloaded the wrong files by accident. But the GPS worked with them.


Again, thank you so much for this.

I was playing around in my phone settings setting/all settings/personal/phone/network and changed it to cdma only. I don't have to remove my sim card now. I'm on sprint and I'm using sprint lovers latest rom. This may help for people that don't want to remove or possibly lose their sim cards.

He is referring to doing this through Windows Mobile. I haven't confirmed or denied this working. I don't need my SIM so I leave it out, less worry then. Not sure if the Windows Mobile settings follow into Android on this instance. But if you go into settings in Windows Mobile and select Personal and then Phone there is a Network tab and you can change the Mode of operation to CDMA only. Good luck, would be interesting if it does for sure work. But again, if you don't have a need for a SIM card, why have it in there? But let me know and I will add it to the FAQ.

Thanks..i am trying now...will report in a few.....!!!!!

It worked... Great ..now i can keep it in it's place..

the first (assurion replacement) that i received did not have a SIM card....but the store replacement was a complete phone and it did come with one...it is, apparently, so if you travel outside the US to a GSM country...it will allow Roaming so you will change to GSM mode and you will get your US calls there....but at 1.99 a minute!!!

No need for it in the US...it is just good to keep ..just in case you travel overseas!!!

It didn't work for me, try to make sure you not connecting using wifi because it could easily slip by! and make it sim you able to use the sim card

After installing Android on my HTC Touch (Vogue) that was collecting dust in my drawer, I have decided to use it as my primary phone for now. Everything works great.

The one thing I have noticed was that GPS is a very important piece of Android as there are lots of apps that take full advantage of it. I thought I would be happy to run Android on my TP2 minus the GPS feature, but I think I would need to wait until that gets worked out as well.

Good thing I didn't sell my Touch!
