I'm running it now and can't tell any difference. It's still as bad (no worse, no better) than both other builds I've tried previously.

Nah, it's something you can do with your TP, but it's not something I would want to attempt with a phone I actually use on a daily basis. I'm talking about making either an Android-only ROM, or a lightweight WinMo ROM which stores the Android system and/or data on the internal memory. I don't really have any idea how far people have gotten with that, but it could use some more attention.

So if you can point me somewhere to get started I'm ready (Though it may take a while before I am good enough to be useful )
Here's my writeup on how to start building your own kernels:

My current complaints are the same ones everyone else has i.e. camera, gps, battery life, and SD access. If there is something specific in any of those areas you can point me to work on (particularly the camera or SD access) I would appreciate it! Side note: MMS doesn't work with smartphones on my carrier last I was aware Don't really ever use them, but I hope they catch up with things soon, as I really like their rates and customer service, the phone selection and network features just leave much to be desired.
I'm with you on MMS -- Sprint's has never worked that well, but it's never seemed like a big deal to me, since my phones have been able to send and receive email since 2004.

Camera and GPS.. you'll have to ask more knowledgeable coders than I. (They hang out on #htc-linux on freenode)

Battery life... there's a few things that could probably benefit from some attention. You could use the phone and use android's built-in battery monitor, start to figure out the main culprits, and see if there's any glaring bugs (things not shutting down on sleep, running full-bore all the time, etc.), or you could find a copy of powertop compiled for Android and see if that gives you anything. (Cyanogen has one -- I can't find a link at the moment).

Also, you could try to figure out what's waking the phone from sleep (I have a suspicion that cdma is less amenable to sleeping than gsm, which is why we get less battery life than our gsm counterparts). If you add pm.debug_mask=2 to your cmdline, you'll get little vibrations every time sleep is interrupted. From what I understand, it should happen every few minutes. For me, it happens every few seconds (but I haven't played with turning off all my data access to see if that helps it).

I haven't done this part, but if you add irq.debug_mask=8 to your cmdline, then every time the device wakes up, an msm_irq_exit_sleep1 message will be posted to the dmesg. Wake up reason will be the third figure, and you'll have to cross reference the kernel source (arch/arm/mach-msm/smd_private.h -- SMSM_WKUP constants) to see what they correspond to.

Re: Linux/Android on CDMA Touch Pro (RAPH800)

I put 2.1 on today to give it a shot...don't try running the live background on it, they are like super slow and seem to be eating a lot of processing power...everything seems to run slower with them going.

I wish some people with extra devices could jump in and start playing around with flashing/accessing NAND from Android, because that seems like it'd be a big step in the right direction.

Of course, if you're willing to jump into the C code and try to figure it out, then there's all sorts of things that could be worked on -- but that's a lot of effort, and after looking at it for 6 months, I'm still not much use at it, so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else, unless you're interested for your own edification.

My suggestion is just to find the things you use your phone for, the features that are lacking, and try to figure out why. Like the folks here have done with MMS -- you might not be able to get everything working, but you'll start to figure out what works and what needs fixing.

Well I have both so if anyone has any nbh files they wanna try out let me know. I also have a native 2.1 android device too.
