Threw luck I found out why you could not have service while simcard was in the phone.

To have your cdma tp2 running android without taking the simcard out.

1.Delete all files related to android
2.Soft reset
3. Goto Settings,Personal,Phone, network and set Mode of operation to cdma only
4. Install cab version of Android
5.Edit the startup.txt file and change force_cdma=0 to force_cdma=1 and save.
6.Run Project Android chose your keyboard and check force Cdma.
7.enjoy having your simcard in for those who want it in.

press thanks if this help

Bugs found
when doing testing i found out that this erase your startup txt after your second or third boot still looking into that. this may not happen to everyone but if it dose keep a copy of your startup text and copy and past.

So why post this now? Announcing you'll share later. Just post when you're ready to post. You're like the LeBron James of the TP2 Android forum...

Im to tired right now had a long day

I will update the post with steps to have your cdma tp2 running android without taking the simcard out.

Tomorrow evening or night.......

Such a pointless post lmao...hey guys....I've found a cure for cancer...I'll release it like next year...either in the fall or winter

Why not just wait until you're ready to post? What's the point of making a post to say you're going to post something soon?

You know what I found the solution to the Sound problem too. My phone just crapped out though and can't seem to remember how I did it

What specifically doesn't work without the sim card?

there was a couple of apps that i used didnt work that use the gobal setting insted of using cdma only but im on vzw network so that might not be the case for sprint tho or any other cdma and on energy rom it mess with the taks bar its puts a big icon of activesync in your sigal area but i didnt wanna find out what it was so i put my sim back in and it went back to normal.

Startup Utility

1. Changing force_cdma from 0 to 1 is exactly the same thing that the CDMA checkbox does in the startup utility. So steps 5 and 6 are redundant.

2. Do not make sure both boxes are checked. The Rhodium HW3D does not work. You're actually doing more harm than good by checking the Hardware 3D box...

I've abused the crap out of this build and played for an entire weekend on the android market w/ no ill effects running my phone with the SIM card out. In fact, battery life is better without the SIM card in. The phone switches from global to CDMA only. (this turns off the GPRS radio)

Hope this helps
