Well, with the introduction of the end button on the in-call screen, the end key was slated to be used as the home key. Unfortunately there was no way (literally) to use this key as both home AND end. It kinda worked before, but broke home long press (which brings up the recent apps list and aids multitasking).

I'm sure if you want to muck in the rootfs you can. I don't know of an easy way tho, and whatever you do, if you want end = end it will break home long press at the very least.

There is a way to map power to end call however - not sure if this option is desirable for you, but I figured I would throw that out there since it is so easy - look under Settings -> Accessibility.

I´m starting to test it, I´m completely new on this Rhodium - Android, but I´ll give it a try.

I´m so proud of you developers, Linux rocks!!!

Phone: RHOD100

Build: FRX07

Rootfs: 20110816

Kernel: 20110819

I have only just noticed that when I make or receive a call, I cannot make another unless I disable and re-enable the network connection. Is it the Rootfs or the Kernel which would affect this because I better go back to an older version and re-test.

Does anyone else have this problem ?

Sounds more like a radio problem.

Have you updated to the newest RIL, or ensured your radio version for your device is the newest available?

I am on a CDMA device, so I can't really help with radio firmware for you, sorry.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Major A:
I have nearly the same build, but don't have this issue with 4.49.25.88 radio. Hope this can help !
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jonners59:
Now I have my nice new and very anticipated F7 booting, I have had great expectations, but sadly so far i am not having a very good time of it.:(

I have tried to set up my applications from the Titanium backups. I was hoping it would also set up my desktop as it was before. This has failed and missing apps and updates are failing left right and centre. It's a mess. :eek: I was expecting as it was being agreed during F6 that the new build would have an option for the user to choose whether to increase the size of the data.img rather than do so post install. This was probably a major factor and probably the cause of the problems I have faced as the system probably initially tried to install the apps and data on the data.img which was too small for it.

Subsequently I have increased the size of the image, but i am still getting install and update issues in MarketPlace. this was a proiblem a number of people experienced in F6. I fixed this by deleting the missing apps from Titanium (inc data) and Settings - Application Management and then re installing. I am still in the process of doing this.

2. The phone keeps loosing radio. Not seen this before. I have tried putting in Flight Mode and going in to Settings and Network, etc, bit nothing but a re-boot works

3. keeps rebooting in to XDANDROID boot animation.

Battery life is the same as F6 but this may well be because of all the activity.

Currently reformatting the SD Card again in a hope that this will fix things as it is an old fav. I am using the latest kernel and rootfs, and I created my own ta-calibration file using the boot setup.

So, sadly, this is not being a a very pleasant experience for me so far.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Update your radio firmware, and possibly the RIL.

Happens whenever the system hangs.

C'est la vie, you're getting a product free of charge that was never intended originally for your device. You sound like you'd be happier on FRX06, why don't you just stick with it...? If it's not broke, don't fix it. You won't get any support for 06, but if it works for you who cares.

Hello ,I have a problem with my battery status ,every time he gives a rate of 93% and than 45% and than again 72% ,it is not steady.

How can I solve this.

Thx
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Don't use Android then.

The battery meter is horribly inaccurate, especially when peripherals come into play.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jonners59:
arrrghhh

Can you please send a link to where I can find these. I have done some searches and can't find anything.

There is something wrong or gone wrong with the build I guess. It tends to be when Market is trying to re-install the rogue apps and I think much of the problem there is the radio keeps dropping out

Well F6 did get better and I was left with no roaming, no BT, VPN and battery duration. I was hoping they would be fixed in F7. Certainly BT works!

If I can get the radio to work reliably (as above) I feel +ve that I can work my way round to fixing the rest
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
RIL is in the same place it's always been, post #6 in hyc's testing thread.

As for radio firmware, you're on your own there. I have a CDMA device, so whatever radio firmware I'm running would not work with your device.

There's a few things you can do to mitigate this. I'm hoping to do a maintenance release soon, hopefully will partially address this issue. My point is there's no "solution" only mitigation.

Good luck.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jonners59:
At last, with a little bit of perseverance I have my babe working. I am certain the issue was some how related to Market Place, Titanium Backup and the Settings/App management....

I could not download or upgrade or install any of the existing apps. I deleted all the backups in Titanium and started deleting/uninstalling apps in Market Place... I found that gradually I was able to start adding them back and upgrading those that required it. I noticed that the phone went in to reboot, normally, but not always in to the XDANDROID boot during the installs especially when more than 1 was selected. Upon reboot there was no radio, so a "shut down" and start all over was required each time.

Don't know if that is one for the boffins, but I now have a working phone. EXCELLENT! :D:D:D

i have noticed with other builds and fixes that a few days need to go by before any issues start to show up, but bar a couple of reboots unaccounted, seems to be a dream. :D

Thanks arrrghhh for your support so far.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] championc:
I thought the RIL was already incorporated in the latest Rootfs files. So every time the rootfs changes, do you need to re-install the RIL files ?

C
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] reckert:
You can modify your init script in rootfs to create a bigger data.img file - I made mine 512Meg, and also used -b 4096 in the mkfs to have the file system match the 4k blocks on the underlying fat. That plus adding cache to the sd device and the loop back devices reduce the fallback to the boot animation, a key factor is limiting the number of items you download from the market at any one time.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
That was before the RIL was moved into the system image (before FRX07...) It's now in /system/lib, as of FRX07. It used to be in /lib/froyo, which was in the rootfs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jonners59:
So did I until now. There ya go....:p Something else to look at.

She seems to be working fine now, so I feel confident about the build and that the issue is/was something to do with Market Place, Settings and Titanium...

It's testing time for me, so BT, VPN and battery. Am all excited about it:p

Roaming will have to wait until Easter. Not sure if I should do the RIL update before or after.:confused:

I cant seem to get the froyo installed. I followed all the directions and on the screen with all the scripts running i get to a place where it says "fail to locate rootfs. Need to extract root fs to root folder" or something like that I really cant remember.

The funny thing is I installed the GB build just fine... What is up with that... maybe i missed something.... please help.

You're missing rootfs.img,are you sure is in the same path as haret(and rel_path in startup points to haret path)and that is named rootfs.img?

Time difference

I'm using the latest Froyo 7 (incremental updates) for a few weeks now. In rare and short occasions I switch back to wmb. I noticed there is always a difference in time between my wmROM and xdandroid. Xdandroid is always 2 hours ahead of my wm. I set on both roms the correct regional time settings (Amsterdam) and have been playing around with the option to sync time with the internet or not.

Is this a common "problem"? I couldn't find any topic about this, my apologises if this has been addressed before.

Thnx 4 this great development!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] horatiob:
I am sure it's there. I am currently formatting the SD card with the HP tool. I am conducting a full format and in fat32 and after it is complete I will try again.

The rootfs.img is certainly there...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] horatiob:

TimeSyncTZ

from FAQ: "the clock may be skewed by a matter of hours when rebooting back into Windows Mobile. When this occurs, the offset will likely be the same as the local timezone's offset from UTC (for instance, if in Eastern Standard Time, the clock will be five hours ahead when rebooting to Windows Mobile). This is due to time handling differences between Windows Mobile and the Linux kernel. It is recommended that Windows Mobile be configured to synchronize the clock automatically. Otherwise, a third-party application may be needed to maintain the clock properly."

A great easy"fix" is to just install TimeSyncTZ in WinMo. You can then create a shortcut using "TimeSyncTZ.exe silent /silentdelay:15000" and add to Windows/startup folder so that it automatically runs silently on Boot.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] rpierce99:
Linux sets the system clock to UTC, WinMo sets the system clock to local time, this is a known "feature" of both. You can use clocksync in Android if you want but for some reason lately I haven't had to, I think I'm getting my carriers NITZ time.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Just in case anyone is curious, I updated the build to FRX07.1 - our first maintenance release!

As always, changelog in post #3.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jonners59:
It's looking good:D

Just over 24hrs since I got the apps on board and bar an incident this AM where a couple of calls were lost becauyse it would not accept them and then shortly after the machine froze, I have had absolutly no incidents. I think the problem in the morning was that I was setting up all my social media and stuff and had too much going on. That sorted after reboot and it has been a babe.

Battery lasted until 13:30 and the second battery is just on last legs, so getting about 7 hours of reasonable usage, which is far better than F6.:D:D:D

WiFi works and I can access the LAN at home.:D

Tried BT in the car and it set up nicley though I have the no voice problem, so need to follow that thread, where ever it is.... Good stuff :D

Signal also seems stronger, I hope that this means it shall work better abroad (roaming in Europe)

VPN next! and I see an update from arrrghhh.

extract all the files and replace the existing,

Working great - but have a question

This is working great on my ATT Tilt2.

I do have one question though, and hope it's appropriate for this thread.

All my apps reinstalled perfectly except for one. This is Allstays Camp and RV from the app store. It's a 13+mb download as it has a lot of offline data available.

The installation always aborts with a simple message: Application not installed!

I've tried installing it from backup, and a fresh download from the store. Same result.

Is this what you would expect to see if Superuser kicks it out?

So far, I've tried a complete fresh format and total reinstall. I put the FRX06 build back on to verify the app loads and works fine under FRX06.

I haven't actually installed frx07 yet. Yeah, 640x360 was the limit I think, but that covers all Youtube HQ videos. I.e. youtube should always work. If it's not then there may be a problem with how frx07 got integrated. Will check it later.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] highlandsun:
You're still an idiot. Why would you expect any topaz help in the rhod section, when you already know most devs here only used rhods?

I can't say one way or another whether your problem is particular to you, or to all topaz phones, but regardless, the way you asked and where you asked are useless. The right way to ask for help with a problem is to provide logs taken when the problem occurred, and this is all already covered in the FAQ. If you didn't read the FAQ and follow it you deserve to be flamed for being stupid.

Running FRX07 for like 20 hours now.

Yeah, this bug is fixed with the new audio routing code, but that's still unstable so it wasn't included in frx07.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] championc:
I've a RHOD100 and have been running with FRX06 for a while but decided to go up to 07. I downloaded the FULL package from post #1 and deleted my old data.img too. However, I found 2 issues which were certainly OK on 06

1. Using my TP2 as an MP3 player, the music now plays out over the rear speaker even though I have the factory HTC earphones connected.

2. EDIT: I

HAD

a problem with the GPS fixing to my location but the updated rootfs posted by stinebd in post #61 seems to have fixed this issue

I had issues too with the screen being too dim in daylight on FRX06 but it seems brighter now so I'll see how it goes tomorrow en-route to work.

BTW, If I turn off USB Debugging and connect my TP2 to my laptop via USB, I get a prompt to "Turn on USB Storage" but I can never read my SD Card. Since I have no microSD to SD adapter, if I want to copy anything onto my SD card, I need to keep re-booting into WinMo and copying what I need and then going back into Android - Is it just me or should my USB to PC connection work ?

Super work guys

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wmg316:
Will you be sharing your tweaked builds as you did with FRX06+? I mentioned earlier that your 5/30 build was what I was running until the release date of FRX07. I really enjoyed having the working video recording with sound "built in" as your FRX06+ build had. I had ZERO problems with your FRX06+ build (at least for what I use the phone for...hardly ever travel...worked great all the way around for me).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] maff1989:
Having the same problem on my Tilt2.

I received a call and accidentally hit the button on the screen, and after doing so, it sounded like it was receiving feedback from the internal speaker.

EDIT: After noticing that, the phone rebooted and RETAINED THE CALL throughout the boot process, keeping in mind that this would be considered a "hot reboot". In other words it didn't reboot to WinMo. The call only cut off once the service did lol.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] anish88:
so someone said that if you get the most updated kernel from Glemson's build site the backlight fro keys work, and so far it has for me
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] maff1989:
Maybe it's possible to extract a few libs from FRX06 to get the video recording w/ audio working in FRX07? Just a thought :P
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Assuming you're on the newest kernel? 20110716 (it's included in the bundle...)

You're using the extUSB plug...? This is on the newest kernel (included in the bundle, see above) or did you change anything up? Perhaps switching to an older kernel will help..

No, USB mass storage only works if you have a dedicated data partition. Will never work on looped mount data.img...

If you use Windows, you can use an application called Droid Explorer which using ADB it kinda fakes USB mass storage.

Your issues do seem super-user related - did it ever prompt from the SU app? I'm guessing no.

You could try to

edit init.etc/default.prop, set ro.secure=0

Should ignore SU AFAIK.

As hyc said, this is fixed with the new acoustic code, but it's not done so it was not included in FRX07...

lol you posted this while I was compiling the giant post above ^^ See above :p. That stuff isn't in FRX06 either ;).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] anish88:
so weird it doesnt work again. i dont quite understand why its going in and out.

EDIT: it actually stops working after a phone call is made. it works when first booted and the after the phone call it is gone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] maff1989:
Ahh. Sorry, didn't read back. :P

Made the same mistake as above with that one lol. Couldn't figure out how to delete the post, though... :D

Either way, I'm sure extracting the libs from the highlandsun build that was mentioned could be a possible solution. I don't have that particular build so I couldn't test that myself.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] highlandsun:
The libraries are in the Audio Routing thread in this forum. You'll also need a patched kernel though; I haven't built any new kernels recently so you're on your own there.

But like I already said, that stuff is unstable. Audio usually dies on me after a couple calls.

No, it never prompted from SU. I hadn't needed a terminal emulator till now so I just installed one and I get an "Edit not found" message from your suggested code. I assume it's a directory path issue. I'll see if I can get that working. And report back.
