3. Ensure you have a calibration file copied into the same directory as haret & startup.txt

1. The contents of Windows Mobile 6.5 calibration parameters from my Rhodium 500, according to CERegEditor key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH\Calibr ationData is:

509,524 808,845 801,201 222,199 213,846


which I am guessing just based on the physical calibration sequence must be:


center top-left bottom-left bottom-right top-right

2. The contents of Rhodium 500 android ts-calibration file is


823,137,169,145,503,506,830,850,172,852

which based on inspecting the number values might be:

bottom-left bottom-right center top-left top-right

3. I am assuming that the number pairs are:

(a) consistently interpreted by the two operating systems with respect to where they are on the screen, and

(b) coordinates which are x,y when the phone is held in portrait orientation

4. It is also interesting to note that the android file has commas between every number, but the Windows Mobile file has a space between each coordinate pair.

Can anyone who has read the code validate these observations?

Do the five points in each list correspond to exactly the same screen locations points based on their values, or are the values juxtaposed between Windows and Android?

I just want to say thanks to the folks that have put this thread together since the materials are now in one place. i have followed all this for several months and it is easily confusing for the novice user.

I just took the phone to Costa Rica for a week and have to say between WiMo and Android I did not have to bring a laptop and was totally functional in a GSM/WiFi world.

Cheers

Jerry, would you mind sharing what you did to get GSM part of the android to work? I do see cell signals but just can't make any calls. I've tried a few of the suggested methods from the FAQ section of xDAndroid, but still isn't fully functional.

I assume you're on a RHOD400?

SIM is in the slot, force_cdma=0...

The only other thing that might trip you up is I've heard the setting in WinMo - what is the network set to? I think it needs to be set to GSM only. Not positive tho... hyc is working on true WorldPhone support, and he seems close - so soon maybe we'll be able to switch between the two within Android .

Yeah, i'm on RHOD400. I am currently not in the states, so i'm using mainly GSM mode. I felt stupid to ask such a question only to find the answer the next second. But being able to switch between two modes within Android would definitely be nice. It's been a long time since I played with any of these, sorry for being a noob all over again.

Hi all,
I was able to get the froyo full bundle on here and I'm positive my wi-fi is turned on, but when I go to settings to turn on the Wi-Fi I just get an "Error" message.Is there a special way I need to be turning on wireless through Windows? I've already tried to reboot and reset, but nothing has worked.Help,please?

What do you mean turning on wireless thru Windows...?

If you're using an ad-hoc network, I don't think Android will see them. You said you're using the Froyo full bundle, I assume FRX06 - did you change anything? There's a lot of testing stuff flying around, and while wifi should work OOB for FRX06, if you're using some testing elements that might break wifi.

There's also a few rare souls who wifi has never worked no matter what they do - and they need to hack at the wifi-nvram.txt file. We can cross that bridge when the time is right.

Thanks arrrghhh,
I'm using kernel 1253 now,this but camera is not function ,
Do you know when this bug is fixed with camera.

Besides, i don't see "H/3G" icon next by signal icon and after setup an APN with GSM network it's not working either.

Well yea that's the tradeoff. I think I'd rather be able to receive calls than use the camera, but pick your poison I guess. There's a really big clocks commit that somehow breaks it, and it hasn't been fixed yet in the newest kernels...

Also, you won't get an H icon without using the testing RIL, which will get merged soon to mainline.
