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

[m4f1050]

I don't think it even has WiFi working, last one I tried didn't work, not even Bluetooth... It's not worth using (yet.)

I will use it when it has all the functions, camera is not a must, but Phone, Wifi and Bluetooth are a MUST for me.

Definitely not worth using. But still, it is worth looking at, just to see it run once or twice. Then reset back into Windows Mobile and try again when the next release arrives.

boot

No - open the startup.txt file, which will look similar to what you have above. Then change the mtype and msmts_calib to whatever is right for your device, which if you have a diamond I think it is mtype 1805 and msmts_calib 0x7a.0x5e.0x35a.0x37f - But I don't have a diamond so I can't test that...

A lot is working on the GSM phones because there are already HTC phones with android and GSM radios.

I'm still not so sure that the Hero is our "hero". It may not have what we need to get everything working. Though if Sprint would just assist us in any way,... ahh what am I smoking! :P

Here's to our fingers crossed and luck being on our side.

Agreed. I delete and copy /tmp and look at it, but unfortunately nothing new...

I looked a little closer for differences between my 2 microSD cards that did not work vs. the 1 microSD card that did.

I noticed that the 1 that worked showed in Disk Management as having a single "Primary Partition". Whereas the 2 that did not work each showed up as having a single "Logical Partition".

Is it safe to say that in order for your microSD card to work with android it needs to have a "Primary Partition"?

Is there any way to change a "Logical Partition" to a "Primary Partition" on a microSD card? Disk Management has those options but they are grayed out for my microSD cards...

you can try to delete the logical partition in Disk Management, and create a new Primary one and then just format the new one... it should work

I tried this but it does not allow me to choose between Primary and Logical when creating the new partition - I'm thinking there might be another program somewhere that does this, but the Windows 7 Disk Management utility does not (or at least it doesn't appear to and I can't find it)

Have you tried opening a command prompt and running through diskpart to create the partition?

boot a livecd version of linux and use fdisk. For a debian version here are the commands to completely reformat a drive. This will delete all data on the drive. **Make sure you select your microsd and not your harddrive, or you will really screw something up**

From a root (#) prompt type:
# dmesg
(this will show your devices, scroll through the list and find your card, probably going to be sdb1, or sdc1 depending on how many harddrives you have. I will use sdb1 for the guide but use whatever your card actually is.)

# fdisk /dev/sdb
# p (to see if it has multiple partitions, if it only has one then you are good to go. If it has two just do the next step twice but choose the second partition.)

# d (deletes a partition, if there is only one partition you are done, if you have two you will have to choose the partition)

# n (creates a new partition)
# p (primary)
# 1 (1st partition)
Press enter through the next two prompts and just accept the default values
# t
# b (chooses fat32)
# p (make sure it lists only 1 partition and that is a fat partition)
# w (write to disk and exit)

# mkfs.vfat -F 32 -b NameYouWantitCalled /dev/sdb1 (this formats the partition to fat32)

All done!
