as far as I know this is only needed in the last two (2/4 and 2/8) updates.

Thanks for the tip! This is my first time using Android on my Touch Pro and this trick got my Data to work. ^_^

As for Wifi... I can't get it to work on the 2-8 release..... =(

Anyway, I'm impressed with how far the development has gotten!!!! Thank you developers!!!! =D

The new version with hardware acceleration is running great! Only new issue I have found is wifi seems to be completely disabled in this release. The phone explicitly says in the wireless menu that it is unable to start wifi. Hardware acceleration makes a big difference in the smoothness and feel!

However, it sits there for a bit then says that there is no connection. I reformatted, used the all-in-one setup files, used the 3D carousel view in Mobile Shell, ran the voicemail program from the Wave and loaded into Android fine. Mic works, data and wireless don't. When I try to start wireless, it says unable to turn on. I have tried launching it in WinMo first, but that didn't change anything. Any ideas?

A few versions back i had some data issues that i was able to resolve... i don't know if all the steps i took were necessary.... i think maybe the last couple of steps weren't needed as 3G is a few seconds slow to start working after you boot into android and thats something I didn't know at the time. Anyway, eventualy i got it to work - i've documented my steps here - maybe it will help...

Right now I have the last 2/8 installed wihout editing or replace any file.

Thanks

i never had any issues with data. just fire up browser and a minute later 3g pops up.

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

To add an APN you have to hit the menu button, it's the one with the house on it.

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

maybe this was a given for everyone else, but i just noticed the touch pro's headphone dongle does not work.

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

Has anyone gotten MMS to work? it's definitly not a priority but if it's an app i can install that would be great.
Also no matter what I'm doing I can't get 3d working. I've tried touchflo3d running and then the hologram. but I still just get the black screen on boot. no nexus one animation. Anyone else getting that?

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

Wifi not work with 02-08-10 release.
