MSFT have stated pretty clearly that the future is in the cloud. Actually Windows Live mail is an excellent implemenation of cloud & local e-mail integration.. If you want to use google mail or something else, then fine, (and WP7 is fine with that too) .. but I don't know why MSFT have to support possible e-mail configurations - for free. If you don't want to play it their way try nuevasync, pipe everything via their service & connect as an exchange server.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] The__Malteser:
Hi,

I want to install Android on my HTC Touch Pro and I want to also do that Dual Boot program. Problem is that I can't get android to work.

I downloaded Android, and it is not installing well. After I boot, the top bar of the Android comes, but it seems all grainy, and my mobile restarts :/ I tried changing to a different RAPH startup.txt, but it just crashes in the middle -.-

Pics: (sorry, they are HUGE)

Any ideas anybody?!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] ben_duder:
Don't try changing to a different startup.txt! Make sure you're using the right file for your phone model. You could also try simply redownloading XDANDROID.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Which RAPH do you have?

Perhaps you need to read the FAQ.

Also, 1) don't take huge pics and post them to a thread - resize them and provide links if anything, although the pics seem useless TBH. 2) post in the build thread, don't create a new thread. Thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] The__Malteser:
@Ben_duder

I downloaded so many lol

@arrrgh

Thanks for that FAQ page, I know I have a RAPH100 now :)

1. Didn't notice how big they were until I posted them

2. Link to thread pls :)

Thanks for the help till now every1 :)

EDIT: My download doesn't have RAPH100, but RAPH, RAPH500 and RAPH800 -.-

Is RAPH equivilant to RAPH100?

EDIT2: Ok, so i finally got a RAPH100 one, and it was installing. The last message was 'mp_dma : busy'

It kept on going after a bit, until screen calibration, i didn't even have the time to calibrate, as it kept on going.

Only to get 'stuck' on mp_dma : busy...again

Whilst writing this, it started again....only to get 'stuck'.....AGAIN...on mp_dma : busy....AGAIN!!

Is it normally like that? Does this site have live shat or smthn? Or can some1 PM their MSN/Skype so I can have 'live help' lol :P
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] R^7Z:
Yes, it is "normal". What shouldn't be normal is the fact that you can't find the RAPH100 startup in the full bundle from THIS thread(for FroYo) or THIS thread (for Gingerbread). Keep in mind, FroYo is more complete and Gingerbread is still in alpha stages even though it seems more "stable" than FroYo. :)

Additionally, if you just want to be able to boot, the magic number we are looking for is 10 minutes. However, if you aren't getting to the XDAndroid boot animation, this might mean you aren't doing something right. Also, you'll need to grab the ts-calibration file for your device from either thread and put it in the same folder as haret
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] The__Malteser:
Hmm, I seem to have got it to work. It look me around 10 minutes to complete :P It seems ok (I downloaded the new XDAndroid from the official Wiki page). All works fine, incl. camera and Wi-Fi.

Now, I want to do the dual Boot thing. I have the exe downloaded, but now its a new set of CAB and EXT files. I'm going to opt for what seemes to be the newer version (v 1.0.6.0) but when i extract that and open a the file, I get 5 new files

Gen.Y DualBOOT QVGA v1.0.6.0 - Storage Card.cab

Gen.Y DualBOOT VGA v1.0.6.0 - Internal Storage.cab

Gen.Y DualBOOT VGA v1.0.6.0 - Storage Card.cab

Gen.Y DualBOOT WQVGA v1.0.6.0 - Storage Card.cab

Gen.Y DualBOOT WVGA v1.0.6.0 - Storage Card.cab

no idea what to do next.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] R^7Z:
If you have a RAPH100 use Gen.Y DualBOOT VGA v1.0.6.0 - Storage Card.cab. If you have a DIAM100 use Gen.Y DualBOOT VGA v1.0.6.0 - Internal Storage.cab

NOTE/hint

One installs to internal storage/soldered microSD and the other installs to the storage card/microSD
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] The__Malteser:
Yeh i'll do that.

And I understood the Internal Storage and Storage card bit.

Also, I seem to get A LOT of lag when I play a game, is it normal? Probs coz the phone ain't too power full maybe
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] The__Malteser:
I did it, and it works well, it just tells me Android missing :S :S
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] R^7Z:
Is haret in anything other than the root of the microSD? If not, it won't pick it up. There is a trick to get it to recognize the build in something other than the root of the microSD but you'll need to check in that thread where you got the dualboot program.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yea the dualboot program is really a WinMo issue. You need to set the registry entry for it to work correctly.

But since it's not an Android or even an XDAndroid issue, I'd prefer you to post Gen.Y related questions in the correct section of the forum. Thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] The__Malteser:
@R^7Z

Haret is in Storage Card/bootand. And I forgot where I got the dualboot program though lol.

@arrrghhh

First of all, I'll thank you yest, as I'm restricted to 5 per day.

Also, link to where I can find this thread/section.

Thanks for all the help guys
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] R^7Z:
In short if you want to use that program, you will need to visit the thread where you got the dualboot program from OR push everything up a level. In other words, cut and paste everything under the andboot folder to the root of the microSD and it should work like a charm, my friend! ;) :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] The__Malteser:
What was the reason they told us to do an andboot folder then? O.o
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] R^7Z:
Well aside from "organization", not much else ;) :D

I honestly only run one build because it is my preference to do so. Most who know what they are doing (or at least more than I do), use the rel_path=andboot option. "6 one way, half a dozen the other" is what I say. :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] The__Malteser:
Well, apart from the fact that I understood

NOTHING

from that previous post, I want to say that it worked like a charm :) I cut all the files in the andbooot file to the right place, and what do you know, it worked!

I have a tiny thing to ask you guys :P Its laggy, and I mean VERY laggy. When i play games, like Angry Birds and such, it jumps, makes it tedious and not really fun to use. I do understand that my phone wasn't built for Android, and that Android needs higher system specs then Win Mobile (it also lags a bit on Win Mobile LOL) but maybe there is a fix to that.

When I check phone settings, it says I'm running Android version 2.2.2, which I think is the latest version, so maybe going to a previous version will make it better. I'm ready to take a small downgrade, only if I will still be able to use all my stuff (3G, camera, wi-fi etc.) I'm hoping to make Android my permanent OS, but with it being this laggy, I'd rather not.

Any ideas :)

Is it me doing something wrong??? Any help would be recieved with thanx

When i enable the GPS toggle on my phone,

Is it really work always ? Do i really need to toggle it off when i don't use it?

Or

It not really active, just ready to be active when needed...

So if it like that i don't really need to toggle it off always.

You see, i think its not like WIFI and Bluetooth that really active when they are on.

Because when you really use GPS you see it at the notification bar ..

Hope you understand what i want to know .. :D

[General Questions and Answers] Fendulon:
From what I've heard and read it seems that the GPS really won't drain battery unless an App is using it. So if you aren't in Navigation or Maps or something that wants to use the GPS then the idea is that it won't drain your battery.

I'm not 100% certain, this is just what I've read, and to some extent experienced.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3nnynapalm:
**Resolved.

Hey all,

This could be a quick answer or hopefully something more. First off, I appreciate you reading this - and all XDA does. It's really nice to see development for the Android system.. so thanks for sure.

Deal is, is that I have a Galaxy Tab with build something like gjj7 - I didnt write it down before the flash.. ugh. Anyway, the post i was reading was installing Clockwork Mod, and recommended the forum below (on XDA)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788108

I used the CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.15.3 because the thread talked about using the JPy file if your ‘Build Number’ wasnt listed.

Odin3 looked great - no errors, all green. Tab did not reboot itself though, just hung. I rebooted, and now it doesn't look to start. If i keep hammering away though, it will show the Galaxy Tab intro screen, but then stop again.

I've seen the battery logo come up a few times too - looked grey - though it was a full charge before the flash.

I did check a Google search and went through all the posts I could on XDA, but just didn't see what I'm looking for. Is it indeed bricked, or because it 'kinda works sometimes not really" is it gonna be ok?

THanks for any replies,

** Edit - I put it in the box to put it away for a while - and when I opened it - the Tab turned on with the Android dude holding a sign. Anyone know why thiswould have turned on after being in the box for a while? I have not tested to see if the computer recognized it - but would like to know if you have a stock Galaxy Tab firmware i can reload.

Hey thanks again for any help -

-Kenny
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treb1971:
Hi, I'm no expert, but what I think you may have done is load a kernel only, and you'll need to load a ROM on top in order to get the Tab working again.

I say that because I loaded a .tar file onto my Tab and it hung on the Samsung Galaxy Tab screen. Only when I loaded the JJ4 'full flash' (as I saw it referred to) was I successful in getting my Tab back online. The JJ4 has three .tar files included, one for each slot (Modem, PDA, and CSC).

It's pure guesswork on my part, I am still very new at this, but that might be your issue.

In your shoes I would look for threads about combining kernels and ROMs...?

Hope this helps. And I hope someone will correct me if I'm completely off-track.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sef_P1000:
I'm no expert and havn't done any ROMs for my Tab yet, but I am planning to and thus am reading heavily on the subject.

If I'm not mistaken, the "Android dude holding a sign" is an icon for download mode. This means, you havn't done any ROMs yet, just the kernel part. (Same as above reply)

I suggest that you look at this post ---> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=932082

It's the one I'm planning to follow. Alterbridge86 has done an excellent job on this post. It has a downloadable step-by-step instruction, as well as the necessary links to files you will need. I suggest you print the instructions so your PC can concentrate on the ROM part.

I hope this helps, and if it does, please click on the thanks below..:D
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3nnynapalm:
Treb71, and SelfP - thank you for the replies guys, I really appreciate that. I finally got a chance to sit down with it again, and recharged it.

I got it into that download mode (power and both volume buttons - seems different everywhere i look, but it worked) and have it being recognized as a Samsung USB Composite Device in device manager. Good to see it can still be found eh?

When you mention Kernal only, - that sounds familiar. What is the difference behind this and ROM? Just the ROM is more of the O/S it uses? Is there a benefit to loading a Kernal thats not the default one that I missed? :S

I'm going to load up those links - that puts me on a great start. I don't normally feel like a total n00b around technology (I'm sure most people on XDA know their stuff) but this experience has humbled me ;) hah.

THanks for the replies!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3nnynapalm:
Hot dog -

It worked.

Basically, reading the PDF he gives here -

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=578831&d=1303832984

The first 7 pages talk about backing up, i didn't need to worry about that part and went straight to the Odin3 flash.

Here it hung for a bit. Didnt skip past the "setupconnection" after hitting start (after loading the files of course - as stated) but then i realized the dude holding the sign image I was looking at was not the same as the "Download Mode" sign. The one I was referring to was holding up a sign in the top right corner. Didn't think of 2 versions of it come to think of it.

Anyway, rebooting the tab, reloading the files in Odin, and making sure I was indeed in Download mode - went through.

It was in Netherlands though hahah. Upon boot up I just needed to change some Language settings.

We're good!

I'll continue on with the flash tomorrow (it's late here now) and let you know how the custom firmware is - I figure why not, it's all pretty smooth so far.

You've both been a help, if I could hit thanks a couple more times on your posts you know I would. Let me know if you decide to flash, and if you have any questions or thoughts based on my experiences, and I'll do what I can.

Thanks again XDA - bad ass thread you got going on here the more I learn about it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] advanttage:
I'm new to android, not to tech stuff.

Okay here's the situation.

Yesterday i bought a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant i9000M on Bell in Canada.

It came with Froyo 2.2 on it, i wanted Darkys_v9.5_Extreme_Edition.zip so i grabbed the official version.

I used Super One Click Root to Root the phone, worked flawlessly. I then installed Rom Manager from Market. I put the Darkys_v9.5_Extreme_Edition.zip file in the Root of the internal SD card. i pressed that top option in Rom Manager (i forget the button) it did its thing, everything was looking good. then i rebooted into recovery mode and there was no Darkys_v9.5_Extreme_Edition.zip to be found. No problem, my friend convinced me it would be easier to install Darkys_v9.2_Resurrection_Edition and then using the kernel installed with that, i could then use the intended method to install Darkys_v9.5_Extreme_Edition.zip

So i used Odin 1.3 to install Darkys_v9.2_Resurrection_Edition so for the Pit file i used s1_odin_20100512.pit and for the PDA i chose darky_odin.tar.md5

i had

Repartition, Auto Reboot, F. Reset Time

all checked. I clicked start, Odin did its thing.

When the phone came back on i got the Galaxy S splash screen and it was flashing. I tried installing numerous other ROMs on the phone and i would get as far as the animation after the Galaxy S splash screen.

I thought

once i plugged the phone in to Kies i was presented with another problem... The infamous Phone+!+Computer.

Well this is where it gets interesting. i found this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989

I understood that this Odin One Click application would fix my problem...

Well it did not. What happened now is i boot the phone and see an AT&T screen that reads

I can't enter Recovery Mode and i can't boot into Download Mode i am simply stuck at this screen with no usb connectivity.

I bought the phone from an ad posted on Kijiji, so i contacted the previous owned for the original sales reciept. I would like to avoid sending the phone away at all costs. Anyways, thanks in advance for the advice!!!

If you're having difficulty getting into Download or Recovery Mode, you may want to set up a Jig. Its a resistor setup, amounting to 301KOhm that when connected to your phone will force Download Mode.

From there, I think you should be able to reflash to a different ROM.

Xda is allabout learning amd helping. I too was once new to this place and new to this technology, and as a newcomer I remember how confusing and frustrating it all can be.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnsondr80:
Yes you will need a jig, I built one the other day for $2.13 (pack of tens) and saved a $400 device.

Any way use the odin I linled you to to get to jf6 stock enclair, dont worry about root as you already have the update.zip on your sdcard (rommanager did this for you according to what your op said) and once your stock get rommanager from market and get your rom. Put rom in sdcard, not in any folder. And after that in rommanager choose "install from sdcard" and navigate to your rom and select it /check mark both "wipe data" and "back up current rom" watch magic happen. When first boot takes place it can take up to 5-10 minutes to boot, be calm and wait.

After its up you will be rooted and all will be well with the world.

Check me out on my thread, in captivate android development, my rom is called fusion and will be updated tomorrow.

Hope to see you there.
