Linux/Android on CDMA Touch Pro -- Now working on Verizon! And with GPS!

those look like the aio package which is currently the best we have going right now. on a sprint tp you should notice it to be quite a bit better than winmo. again like i said, it's not perfect, but imho it's much better than winmo. if we had a better battery and the camera/gps working and booting from nand, this would be all i would run.

2.1 (newest sqsh) is actually not bad at all. i find it a little slower than 2.0.1 but overall very nice!

Yea, it's not bad. The so-called "Rosie" builds with Sense are atrocious... I mean the builds are beautiful in the UI sense, but everything is ridiculously slow...

And on 2.1 I'm having an issue where I almost constantly get force closes on gapps... and all the related gapps die. I've been sticking with 2.0.1, it's the most usable for me.

Uh... what? You mean you'd like a cxn manager for Android so you can disconnect the internet? There's a built-in one, if you're so inclined. I know there's a ton of apps in the Market as well, I also know that people were using a widget on the home screen to enable/disable wifi, 3g, etc.

I don't get these at all, weird.

Also, the problem with the battery isn't due to your connection, it's due to the rudimentary battery code. while I'm sure it's being worked on, it's currently far from perfect.

Whatever, Android still kicks ass.

yea just hate that it drains so fast will it even last a whole day?

lol arrrghhh i just noticed that your info has it listed as touch pro (ppc6950?). lol the 6950 is the diamond. the touch pro is the 6850. not sure if you did that on purpose lol.

i haven't played much with the 2.1 (eclair) but it seemed to run ok for me. took me a minute to get out of the google mail login (everytime i put my info in it took me back to login or create acct). had one force close but i told it to wait and it did fine after that. but like i said, i haven't played with it much yet.
