LOL- but remember before you go all crazy... the big news here is that a major hurdle, ENABLING SOUND, was achieved, however don't make the mistake of assuming this is a finished port of the OS!

Yes, enabling sound is a HUGE milestone, and development will likely snowball from this point out, but the HD2 porting is also in full swing, and might already be further along than we are!
Remember, the Rhodium port still lacks support for camera, bt, power management, and while sound is enabled it STILL isn't finished (speaker stays initialized when not in use, volume control doesn't work yet, etc... its enabled, which was the hurdle up until now).

I haven't been following the HD2 porting lately, however last I checked they already had sound and there's a good chance it is more complete than the Rhodium... jsut sayin

Actually volume control does appear to be working. I played a couple MP3 files through the music app and had no problems adjusting volume.

I do think this is going to inspire the devs to keep at it.

Interesting- can you adjust the system volume, or only the volume in the app? You might be looking at an internal volume setting that is software controlled independently. I'm under the impression that the actual OS does not yet have control over the system volume, nor the ability to stop amplification when no sound is being played (hence the constant hissing, which while only moderately annoying also contributes to significant battery drain).

Still- could be wrong.

I was able to control the volume of my mp3 and ring tone. So I can say that volume control is working for my Sprint TP2.
