Minimal ROMs to run Android, do we have any here?
 

I am looking to test Android on the Touch Pro2 (Sprint branded) and was wondering if there were any minimal ROM's here in the CDMA TP2 section?

I found Titanium Energy but it's quite big, at around 140mb.

Try Mr. X's titanium lite ROM. Its good for running Android.

Yes, in the TP2 android upgrade forum there is a few to choose from

Moved to the the Touch Pro 2 forum.

Whats the benefit of small ROM size if you run droid on top of it?
I thought droid kicks out windows completely....

Faster loading. Full ROMs take up some time to load, having a smaller ROM loads into Windows faster.

also affects available memory within droid the larger or smaller the winmo base ROM is.

Re: Minimal ROMs to run Android, do we have any here?
 

isnt this incorrect?? Android is booted from the SDCard, available memory is pulled from SDCard as well-or so I thought.. ive ran ROMs that keep me at 80% and i boot into Android and i have 90mb of freedom-hence why Android never lags..

i dunno, guess I thought differently

Re: Minimal ROMs to run Android, do we have any here?
 

I dunno, I have a 8gb sdcard of which I only use about 2 gigs... so if i were to look at available memory in android I'd expect to see roughly 6gb free if it were pulling from the card right? Instead I tend to see 70-80mb free which is in keeping with what I see available in device memory.

Not saying I know the answer, I just thought it was a safe assumption since the numbers were roughly the same.

i think that 70-90mb free is a default "cushion" set by whoever made up the Xandroid ports.. i run WIN95 on my TP2 and it boots of my SD just like Android does.. but it only has a 12MB default on it.. yet i have over 150MBs free on my device and about 4.5GBs left on my SD card.. so somewhere, someone set a "mimimal default level" to make sure you alsways have room..

maybe Xandroid is the same way... im pretty sure no matter what ROM were running itll always say we have somewhere between 70-90mbs of free space on Xandroid...someone with a different stat, and a screenshot, would be great

Hey boredandtattoed got a link for Win9X stuff? Does it find the modem and I can dial out and get 3G? :) I have a PBX setup and can probably get a Win9X phone with dial capability....or is there an app for using the phone section?

Re: Minimal ROMs to run Android, do we have any here?
 

Mine shows somewhere around 115mb free usually. I think because I am using the ext2 partition setup and that is basically my 'device storage' even though it's all on the card. I don't think it touches the internal memory, but I could be wrong. Free space on the phone (in android) is somewhere around 250mb or something

Try this ROM its bare naked by freeza it was discontinued a long time ago and its 6.1 but its the absolute fastest ROM i've seen. Plus if you want you can install all the cabs he provided and also get a functional version of windows mobile, but the way it comes is completely clean!
