I posted a few posts back on how to get it up and running. If you are CDMA but not Sprint the only thing you should do different from my instructions is enter something different for the APN. If you are GSM then You can keep the rootfs that is already in the package and just setup your APN. Trust me it works. Yes I know that there are several providers that "Don't need an APN to work in the US" The thing about that is you aren't editing any values if you have one of those providers and the build doesn't know that you are in the US. When you do the intial setup try to find English (United States). It isn't there, atleast I didn't see it. You can find the APN for your carrier with a quick google search.

These are the steps that I took to get it working.

1. Go to the first post of the thread over at XDA (I don't remember the link.)

2. Download The package that says Sense Sized(dated for march), the system.sqsh that says it is the force close fix(date 04/02 i believe), and the system.sqsh that allows 3G(dated 04/05 i believe)

3. Now use Winrar or (i think) 7zip to open the build package.

4. DELETE ALL ANDROID FILES FROM YOUR SD CARD except your startup.txt

5. Unzip the new files to the ROOT of your SD card

6. Replace the system.sqsh that is now on your SD card with the one that fixes force closes

7. Run haret.exe

8. Go through the setup COMPLETELY

9. Pull battery and reboot to WM

10. Replace system.sqsh on SD card with the one that fixes 3G

11. Run haret.exe and make sure it boots

For Sprint Users

12. Pull battery and reboot to WM

13. Replace the rootfs with one that you know will allow 3G for Sprint's CDMA network

14. Run haret.exe

15. Go to settings and find Wireless networks

16. Somewhere there will be an option tp add an APN

17. Once you get there click it, press the windows key, press add APN

18. Change the name to Sprint and the APN to internet.com

19. Save

20. Find the the option that says connect to network (or something like that) and make sure it is checked.

You should now have 3G access on the Sprint network on the Andoid OS w/Sense on your TP2!!!

Awesome thank you for taking the time to explain this...trying tonight.

Re: Sense working?

Anybody else try it my way? Try and let me know how it works for you, maybe I can be of more assistance.

Wanna help test other features out? I spoke to klinux today and we are hoping to get more involved in this project. Xda has a larger audience, but Rhod is way behind needs more exposure.

I would love to help test out. Hit me with a PM.

Re: Sense working?

I just tried it out and voice and data work well for me as long as I reboot to flight mode first in winmo, then take it out once in android. Some of the apps/widgets are buggy and crash and some things are slow initially loading, but it's looking good so far.

Re: Sense working?

I'll test stuff too..
I wish I knew how to get started with the linux development :(

Re: Sense working?

Well i have gotten it working, I used a mix of jadoe05's instructions but went straight to the latest sqsh file from first boot, after a very long first boot i pulled the battery and replaced the rootfs file with the one from the other thread

Things appear to be working albeit a bit slow..
I'll keep ya posted
