Clearly. Thanks for all the debug work, mj41374, arrrghhh, and hamagc (and anyone else I've forgotten). There's a pretty big change between 3-31 and 5-7. The build process for the Android system (system.sqsh) has completely changed from a sort of patchwork to a build off the AOSP sources. I saw one person's logcat from a phone that was looping, and it seemed to have to do with the ConnectivityService and getPersistedNetworkPreference. What this means, I have no clue (except that it sounds like it's got to do with having uninitialized network preferences on first boot... maybe).

I just noticed in the RHOD package by ReeferMattness that there's a file that has to be in the /sdcard/cache folder. I'm not sure what, if anything, that has any bearing on, but is another thing to look into.

What's weird is that for some people, the 5-07 and 5-11 seem to work out of the box. (Is this true?) There's at least one, and possibly many, pieces of the puzzle yet to be put in place. Wish I could be more help in debugging.

Sometime in the boot it copys the build.prop from the system.sqsh to /sdcard/cache try deleting that folder inbetween attempts to fix it. My theroy is that it dosn't clean up so it keeps a 'broke' build.prop (from my experence messing with the ASOP packages)

Then shutdown and download the 2010-05-11.7z AIO package (first post). Without removing or renaming *anything* on the sdcard, extract the 2010-05-11 files/folders and replace any duplicate files (merging all folders)

I am complying - in full - with your instructions sir.
Will return and report.

Will also be grateful to no longer be trapped by the loopy X thing.

I had assumed that Lumos was overriding the internal WinMo Backlight Control, in order to do it's thing.

I'm running one of EchoMatics Haze ROMs. I'll go pecking around in there, for the WinMo control.

The direction is appreciated.

Pressing the End Key seems to be a Right-Arrow command. Holding it down sometimes repeats the Right-Arrow Command - sometimes does nothing.

I need to exit back to WinMo because Lumos was monitoring my launched apps. I'm trying to get Lumos to exempt itself from grabbing control of the backlight; when Android is launched.

Thanks for an amazing product.

Honestly, it sounds to me like your capacitive touch is dirty or otherwise not working. One problem the TP always had was the unreliability of the capacitive touch keys. If your not careful, hitting the "back" or "end call" buttons can easily be interpreted as a "right arrow" keypress.

Other than that, I can't speak much about Lumos, as I have no experience with it.

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

I'm still not sure why some are getting that looping X. That fix leaves a lot to be desired as well. A fix is a fix, don't get me wrong...

I ran the 5/11 build in its own folder - no data.img, no calibration, nothing. Just download, extract, run haret.exe. Worked perfectly. Wish I could recreate this.

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

did you delete your cache folder for that trial?

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

ok i'm going to test this out too. making no changes to any of the files and using only the files in the pkg.

i will be wiping my card for this to go with a full clean install.

ok clean install on clean mmc.

using the default startup.txt provided in package (default one in root, not out of startup folder.)

everything on root of card, no andboot folder.

testing....

ok looks like bootloop for me. going to give it a minute and reboot and test with startup.txt from startup folder.

testing....

another bootloop. editing startup.txt to remove hidden characters (boxes that replace line down).

testing...

another bootloop. replaceing startup.txt back to original, replacing zimage and mods with latest from http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android/

testing...

froze during boot. last line is allocated dma buffer at ffc0b000, dma_addr 25 241000, rebooting.

testing...

rebooted, no changes to system, booted to animation... bootloop. replacing rootfs.

testing...

bootloop! new rootfs, new zimage and mods = bootloop! testing with edited startup.txt

testing...

bootloop with new rootfs, zimage and mods, and startup.txt. perplexing... testing further...
