Need clarification please! Arrgh, Am I right? it should build the "android folder" upon first boot, though right?

Anyhow, after I supplied the old "android folder" to this version, I got to the calibration thing, I actually did the manual calibration, the little white 4 square targets show up, and I use stylus on them, and everything came on up. Then I need to set up everything. But still doesnt answer the question if the "android" folder that was created originally from the FRX06 folder causes any problems with the 07 versions?

ALso along this Calibrate question, I usually did (but didnt this time)... copy the ts-calibration file from all my other versions (they are the same) if I need to. I am going to delete the "android" folder and the data.img and try again right quick. Sooooo,..

Thanks in advance. I hope to post up what happen, even if it is back to 06 for me. Battery life is my biggest problem with hack-droids, since we have such sheiiiity coverage from verizon, where I live and where I work.

I'm confused... why would you go back to FRX06?

First, I don't think you can use the 'android' folder from FRX06. Not sure tho, I've honestly never mucked with it. If you don't have one, it will create one on boot yes.

You can reuse calibration files, no problem.

Thanks ARRRRGH, well it seems you can, however I admit that I am unsure, like I said if I was hurting the 07 setup, as I couldn't see any difference after I deleted the data file in andboot, and removed the android folder, which was then remade on 1st boot. (got 07 to build its own).

My problem seems to have been that renaming a folder to andboot, while using computer directly to adapter for memory card, the phone sees it as = ANDBOOT (all caps) instead of lowercase, which seems to cause things to fail. Had to rename with wm6 instead, and all is ok again.

I go back to 06 which is working well enough, just like I went back to 03 when 06 wasnt working for me, I think of if as a system restore point, like Acronis True Image, if you know what I mean, lol. I hate my mind's memory, I can hardly recall what each app is that I like, so I have to boot the old one to recall it, as the "market" doesnt seem to keep a list that me (who has to sign in to use it, downloaded in the past... which is stupid.).

How do I shut down XDADroid now?
when I press the red (hangup/end call key) in 07, I no longer get the airplane mode/shutdown choices. so how are you shutting your phone down, I have to remove battery, is that my only choice now?

Still getting about 4 or less hours out of batteries out here in the boonies (kansas) with Verizon (yes they suck, terrible reception/coverage). But so far no data connection loss causing reboots... Luckily I have 3 batteries I swap with my TP2.

Im looking for a car charger for just the battery if anyone knows of one, so I can charge spare battery while using the phone, WHEN NOT HOME (think camping, without houshold electricity, 12v only)...

Hold down the power button. End call is now mapped to home, so long press on it gives the recent apps menu. Long press on the power button still gives the power menu (as it did before...)

i've been playing around with FRX07 for a few days now and have the following issues.

1. I get no sound (incoming calls or any apps). I checked all my settings (silent mode is disabled, etc..) and cannot get any sound

2. cannot get a GPS lock (GPS is turned on in settings and light is always orange)

3. speaker phone always seems to be turn on when making/receiving calls. how do you turn it off? I tried hitting the "speaker" button in the phone dialer but nothing happens.

4. none of the games like angry birds seems to run. i get the loading the screen for a few seconds, then it just goes back to the android screen.

would appreciate any help on this.
thanks.

What phone? Your profile says Mogul, I guess you're on a RHOD400...? Sprint?

I certainly can't verify this problem. There is a new test kernel I'm going to post that relates to sound in-call... but it doesn't have anything to do with sound within applications.

If you go into the ringtone settings and just try to play a ringtone... nothing? You also said you checked all the settings, did you go into the sound menu and make sure the sound is turned up? Did this work before? Nothing really changed in respect to sound in 07...

GPS locks are greatly aided by QuickGPS being up to date in WinMo. Without this assistance data, locks can take a very long time (or you may never get a lock, even with a clear view of the sky... you are trying this outside, not in a car near large buildings, etc?)

Audio routing is kinda broken. It's an all-kernel affair, so until the new acoustic code is stable there's really not a fix for this...

I've told many people that Angry Birds requires OpenGLES2.0, and even if you can get it to run, it'll never run well. teradog doesn't seem to appreciate this answer () so if you guys want to continue pursuing playing that game, have at it. Just don't expect it to work well.
