[12-15-09]Android CDMA TouchPro: TEXT, TALK, data and wifi(RAPH800) Ported!!!

i want a gw invite agentmikeyd@yahoo.com i cant pm in op mini...

if anyone wants to play in the root of their RAPH800, but can't access super user 'su' without the 'u' key, makkonen shared a trick. create a file on your MicroSD labeled anything without a letter 'u' in it, say 'getroot'. in this file, add only the letters 'su'. now when in the Terminal Emulator in Android, you can run the file like this:

$ /bin/sh /sdcard/getroot

you now should see a root # terminal. don't break anything

i like to type without tip-toeing around the missing "u" key, so i telnet in from a networked laptop, phone, or anything posessing a keyboard. enable wifi in Android, and find the IP address as root by running:

# ifconfig

and reading the printout. now run:

# /system/bin/telnetd

then connect from the network with:

# telnet <ip address>

in Linux/Macs, or from putty client in Windows. if it asks connect as 'root' but it may not.

I need some help, I am little dumb when it comes to loading android on my phone. I got my start up txt to load, and harlet is launching but is getting stuck at the attach image. My sd card is formatted as FAT. Can anyone here help me? I'm on Sprint on a RAPH800. Thanks in advance...

I am unfortunately getting the same error.

Tried every combination of startup.txt and zImage possible
Installed on root of 2GB sd card
Touch Pro (Raph800) running NRG Rom

travisr528:
- Delete all of your Android files form the device.
- Make sure you have a guesstimate of at least 300 MB free on Storage card.
- Reinstall all files to root of card.
- Replace startup.txt and zImage files
Run Haret.
Should work.

I have done this countless number of times. And still not fully loading.

I have tried this too, I am also running NRG 6.5 manilla 2.1, with a 2GB sd card. Have you got yours to load at all?

That looks to me like an issue somewhere in the process of checking the sd card and creating the data.img. Do you have a 256mb data.img file in the root of your sd card? It should have been created by that point in the boot process.

I have had trouble occasionally when other files on the sd card confuse the fsck process. It might be worth a shot to try a different SD card with no extraneous files on it. I'm not sure.

I wouldn't expect the WinMo ROM to have any effect, but... stranger things have happened, I suppose.

Also, I don't mean to derail, but... how on earth do you get 75mbit bandwidth from RoadRunner in Austin? Am I reading that correctly?

I have data.img that is 104M on the rood of my sd card. I tried using a 512 lg sd card from my wifes phone, that did not have anything on there too. I will try clearing mine and try.

I have no idea, it's just standard road runner turbo. All the bandwidth sites clock me at the speed.

Docsis 3.0 my friend. You can upgrade to a Docsis 3.0 transceiver even if you only have Docsis 2.0 and you'll see some improvement (~5-10 megs max), but nothing compared to Docsis 3.0... Once you get Docsis 3.0, you should see an average of 60-100 mbps down/10-20 up.

So I'm pretty much brand new to this, but I was able to get wifi and CDMA data to work on my Sprint Raph800. Wifi is flawless, but CDMA is intermittent (most likely due to me being in my basement). I simply added Sprint's PPP info to my startup.txt as follows:

ppp.apn=internet.com ppp.username=none ppp.password=none wifi.mac:my:ma:ca:dd:re:ss

The CDMA works the vast majority of the time, but I do suffer from the sleep issue if I touch the screen whilest Rx/Tx data over CDMA (not over wifi). This, combined with the fact that regardless of my battery state and charging status it always shows 5% battery charge and that the screen is almost always dimmed, says to me that the main problems with the intermittent data Tx/Rx and the sleep while doing data Tx/Rx is not only a poor signal, but also a power management issue. Subsequently, I think power management is a very important area to look at. I haven't done any coding or any extensive *nix in probably 5-7 yrs, but I generally pick things up almost instantaneously, so if someone could hook me up with the source code for this, I'd love to collaborate in an effort to get this working properly for everyone. (Can't promise I'll be of much use though, haha)


Also, I'm curious if anyone's gotten GPS to work on Sprint CDMA Touch Pro Android builds? And on that thought, I can't help but keep wondering why from what I've found no one has tried porting the Hero's Android Radio and Power Management Controllers over to the Raph800. I would think it'd be fairly easy since (aside from I/O [keyboard, display, digitizer, and cover-mounted buttons]) these 2 devices have exactly the same core HW in terms of Radio, processor, memory, etc according to every spec and data sheet I've been able to find thus far. (I haven't seen the code, so I may be oversimplifying it, I just don't see why the same HW and basically the same OS shouldn't be able to use the same 'drivers')


I also got it to run within a directory to keep my µSD card neet and tidy. Simply put the rootfs.img in the true root of the µSD card then make a new directory (I used /sdcard/Android) then put everything in there except the rootfs.img and edit your startup.txt to show

imgdir=/android
rather than
imgdir=/

This is especially useful not only for organizational purposes when using WinMo, but also to elliminate the possibility of file conflicts. Also, I got the # prompt at exactly the same point as you did when I initially made this change to my startup.txt and stupidly neglected to actually move any of the files to that /Android directory, so you may have some files out of place or something.

Hope that helps.
