I have just this minute completed my rebuild, so about to boot and start the restoreing, so I'll complete that and then take a look at GB08....

How does it differ in terms of what is and is not working compared to F07.1, only the main probs. Videa audio, Battery life and sluggish...????

ou've mentioned BT, Market are fixed, anything lost?

Cheers as always arrrgggh
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Shouldn't be any regressions, but it does say TESTING in the thread title.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jonners59:
I coppied the contacts of my SD Card on to my desktop. Re formmatted the card (FAT32), put everything back, then replace the data.img with a freash unused one I had prepared earlier, and replaced the F7.1 components with the bundle at the start of this thread.

Rebooted. Downloaded Astro File Manager so I could install Titanium. Did a RESTORE ALL APPs, DATA and SYSTEM APPS from the batch menu...

Then Launched Go Launcher and resored the BACK-UP from thier.

A little disappointed that it had not presereved that usernames and passwords for the apps that required them, and the Widget tghat I had did not work, but otherwise an easy restoration. The phone is fast and slick again. I have only one problem, excluding testing the BT which I have yet to do.

I started installing a load of Updates that seemed to be required, but then they just seemed to stop. Nothing updates. It says Installing, but just sits there. I read some-where that if there are problems with Market to delete Cache and Data in Market and Download Manager, so I tried that, but it has made no difference:confused:

Any ideas?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Preserves them if you backup app&data. My USAA app always remembers user/pass after Titanium restores.

Sigh. We've been over this 100x. This phone is old. This phone is slow. This port is not perfect. You can't really update more than 1-2 apps at a time in FroYo, or else it will choke the phone and cause it to hang, reboot, do all sorts of funky things.

So please. Keep the app updates to a minimum, or use GB - for whatever reason GB seems to go one app at-a-time, which resolves the above issues (for me at least).

As always, YMMV.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jonners59:
It doesn't do one at a time... It does none. It just stopped....

Next stop is GB8.

Data Connection

Help or lead me to how to turn on/off data connection I set everything up but don't want it to stay on when not using it thanks in advance!!!!!

I found it!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I never said FroYo does one at a time... Oy.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JDog2pt0:
I suppose he could just update Market to 3.4.4 if he's hellbent on staying with Froyo

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20285184
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Not sure that would fix the issue, but it's worth a shot.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jonners59:
:D:D:D:D:D You guys have done such a great job of it, how could I abandon it... Actually since the rebuild, bar a couple of things, she is working absolutly fantastic! Almost stock.

Not tested BT, that is yet to come

I managed to get almost all the remaining apps updated. there were 19 updates, but I now just have 3 that refuse to install. I had to do a number of reboots (5 in all) and then started to update them, one at a time, after clearing data and cache. Interesting one just says can't find the app. I have seen this in my wife's tablet too.:confused:

I did the Market update on a previous build, and it made no difference and to be honest there was too much going on on the screen to like it.

I am going to try out GB08, just let me settle down with my nice working F07.;)

Drivers issue I guess

My tp2 isn't recognize by my computer and drivers won't install HELP please! ty all
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] fastscirocco:
Try sitting them both down in the same room and introducing them to each other over drinks. :)

Either that or you could read the FAQ, been discussed many times.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
lol, you back? Haven't read your panicked posts in a while.

You should read the FAQ, and if you're going to ask a question - at least tell us what you're trying to achieve. USB mass storage won't work, so don't bother. The FAQ has tips on how to work around this tho ;).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] SteelLife:
Sorry arrrghhh, my phone isn't seen by the computer at when on windows side I can only charge my TP2! I never panick HELP!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JDog2pt0:
Are you trying to say that when you're in WinMo, the computer still doesn't see your phone?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
lol....

If you're having issues with WinMo, why are you posting in the Android development section, in the FRX07.1 thread.

-_-

Please, if you have WinMo problems post in the appropriate section. Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] SteelLife:
Sorry about that!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] josephbrien:
Good morning.

I have a problem on sleep is that sometimes when I'm using the

pm.sleep_mode=1 or 0 when waking the the device it doesn't wakeup

or shows SD Card ok to remove then the device hangs or reboots.

battery lasts 20~22hours

when im using pm.sleep_mode=3 its more stable but consumps more battery like 9hours to total power drain.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yup. Pick your poison. Either the panel is never truly shutdown and constantly draws power, or deal with the panel wake issues. Typically if I mimic the swipe action on failed wakes, and for whatever reason touching the panel near where you swipe will wake the screen usually....

.35+ kernels have kinda fixed the problem. Kinda... It hasn't disappeared. The bug has been present ever since panel collapse was initially sorted out, and we had a big boon in battery life as you point out!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] TyKH:
I have searched the thread but unable to find it.

I have just installed this build due that my Desire died a couple of days for me. It worked after a second boot with my SIM card in it. Without the sim card the i receive the message (system cannot respond), and I have to remove the battery.

So now it's up and running, the issue what i'm having is finding apps. Go SMS and whatsapp are not to be found in the market. Should I find a new apk version of the market and copy it to my sd when booting in windows or find the apk of the respective programs and copy them to the sd card?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Well you can certainly install anything manually you want... but that's strange. I haven't used FroYo in a bit, but last I checked GoSMS and Whatsapp show up and can be installed no problem.

Upgrading the Market is never a bad thing. Another thing I love about our new GB build - Market auto-updates ;).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] n2rjt:
I don't know about those apps but some old apps from Froyo vintage have been disappearing from market.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] TyKH:
I wanted to do the Gingerbread build but I read in the post of Caveats/Bug/Not working part that data connection was very flaky even with GSM models. If that is no longer the case I will switch to the Gingerbread build.

Can I just copy the gingerbread build to the root of the SD card of do I have to delete the Froyo first?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
The old Gingerbread build is old and is flaky. The new Gingerbread build is still in testing because of all the massive changes that have been made... but you're welcome to try it.

I would recommend either deleting FroYo, or putting GB in a folder and learning how to use rel_path= ;).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] TyKH:
Got it working with the rel_path and was able to download whatsapp and all the nice apps :D. When looking into the contents with Astro it seems that that all the apps are installed onto the root of sd card instead of the folder GB03B. While the Froyo is also installed onto the root. I don't have problems at the moment but will they occur when I boot again?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Probably... I can't say for sure. It really depends on the app.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Thor_Asgard:
It's been a while since I come here, and I'm just testing this new release, and wow.....

Thanks again for all the work, It's a second life for my TP2 ! (and sharing internet connection with android for my tablet is much simplier than with WM6 :)

Edit : Any news for Audio over BT ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jonners59:
My phone keeps telling me I am out of space, yet I have a 2Gb data.img which I know is not full. I resized it in Toporesize from the 256Mb to the 2Gb... It's odd as I have never had this before. Any ideas.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] n2rjt:
There are several places that can be out of space. Try the df command in terminal emulator to f see what is full. Although most likely is data.img. When I used this Froyo I expanded data.img to 512M and never saw it full.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I can't remember if it clearly says anywhere, but 2gb AFAIK is 'too big'. Try 1gb...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jonners59:
I normally use a 2Gb data.img I have kept a copy of one I made some time ago as a spare, and normally just copy across. I had read that 2Gb was the max.

In this case I had not used my template and allowed the phone to build its own when I reinstalled F7.1. I increased the size using Topresize to 2Gb.... But it still had the message. I have since found all apps failing - maybe due to the capacity issue.

I'll try terminal, but I am not sure it installed as yet in the rebuild or works with all these errors. I have a nasty suspision that it may be because I set dropbox in Titanium - big mistake if it is so. I may have to rebuild again if I can't get to it or get terminal up. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks guys
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] mgonline:
HI All Bro... Sorry for this noob question but there are any news about BT Voice?

I can't paring my HTC and the Parrot car system. It's strange in anycase because the system can recognizes the phone and the phone can see the parrot but, when parrot ask for the security code, my HTC give me an error instead give me the password input window.

Thank if anyone can help me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
The GingerBread build BT actually *kinda* works.

Certainly not flawless, but much better BT functionality than this build. I've gotten a lot of mixed reports - some working well, others not so well.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lymon:
I had been using this build for a week or so (quite happily so :)) until my phone quit ringing for incoming calls. It used to ring, but literally, overnight, quit ringing. I don't know if I messed up some setting or what, nothing that is obvious to me. Phone does not wake up (screen does not come on) when I call my number. Voice mail notification does work.

Have tried Google and searched the forum, but nothing seemed to be the same issue that I am having. Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Strange indeed...

Have you tried a simple reboot? It is a little annoying since you have to boot to WinMo, then start Android again... but it's troubleshooting step #1 in this case ;).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] abbygayle:
Can't receive texts messages.

I'm stuck. I've tried searching, but haven't found anything that pertains to htc touch pro 2 and the froyo 7.1

I'm very very new at this. I was excited to get Android up and working. I thought I was all good to go but now I can not receive text messages.

Before I put Froyo on, I received texts no problem on WinMo. Now, I do not receive text on Android OR winmo. I can send them, but not receive. I can also receive/make calls with no problems.

Other background, not sure if matters: I followed the steps on first page (I am using RHOD 400-basically because someone told me to...) I have the startup.txt, ts-calibration and haret all under FRX07.1 folder. I also installed handcent, so that is on my phone now also. I'd hate to not be able to use android, but I'm confused and worried now that I can't even use it on WinMobile either! I'm not very phone literate, so please be gentle (or hopefully be willing to hold my hand a bit) with suggestions.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JDog2pt0:
Try re-activating your phone and/or updating your PRL. Sounds like a hiccup with your service provider though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] abbygayle:
I had sprint tech support reset my phone. I updated PRL and profile. No luck. I still can't receive text in either winmo or android
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] fishingmedic:
Well seeing that you're running android off of an sd card, you're not breaking any rules of Sprint, unless you've unlocked the phone and flashed a different ROM. Assuming the phone is basically stock, why not call up Sprint tech and have them troubleshoot the texting issue in winmo and once that's fixed, retry android. The port should really not change how you're getting texts in winmo, so I'm in agreement with the previous poster that this is probably a Sprint issue or phone issue and not a port issue.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] abbygayle:
Ok, after doing a master reset with my text is working in both winmo and android.

EXCEPT, my outgoing picture mail isn't working. I heard somewhere there is a fix for that. Can anyone point me in the right direction if that is the case?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Please quit cross-posting across forums. It dilutes the community effort.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lokadero:
seems like the full bundle download link is dead.

is there a mirror link i can use?

well, whatever is wrong with xda file server, i found one on file share site.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
files.xdandroid.com is back up for me.

The mirror always seems up...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lymon:
This may help, unless you have already made these setting changes.

Hmmmm, apparently I don't have enough posts to include an outside url in my post, but if you google "mms - xandroid project", the first hit should be to a page showing APN settings for Sprint. Good luck.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
http://xdandroid.com/wiki/MMS

That would be a soft reset... Hard reset would be wiping & reflashing WinMo.... I guess the Android on SD card equivalent would be formatting your SD card and starting over with the stock bundle ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lymon:
Maybe it's a matter of semantics, but I did [what I consider to be] soft resets up the wazoo, with no results. What I had to do is the one that requires 6 hands :) hold down the bottom left and right side buttons while hitting the power button. Puts phone back to factory settings (YUCK). Does this actually reflash WinMo, or are we still talking about 2 different actions? Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Ah yea, that sounds like a hard reset. Soft reset is just a reboot really, hard reset is the ridiculous button sequence (or there's a way from some WinMo ROM's) that wipes WinMo back to factory defaults.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lymon:
Grrrrrrr, the phone worked fine for about a day, now it no longer rings for incoming calls--again. On the bright side, everything else seems to work. :)

Thoughts, ideas?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Reboot?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lymon:
Yep, did that, and phone wouldn't work in winmo either. But, I noticed that there were no reception bars either. Because of my location, I have to use Sprint's Airave to make/receive calls at home. I checked the Airave, and all the lights seemed to be OK, but I rebooted the Airave and everything seems to be fine now, in xandroid and winmo. Maybe it was the Airave all along. Dunno. Thanks again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
If it doesn't work in WinMo, chances are it won't work in Android...

Glad it's working again. Airaves are notorious for causing issues with this port.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] vo_danh:
Would you say this is the most stable andriod version for tp2 ? I only need calls that ring, text, browing the net, and displaying images including GIF ( airplane tickets ).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] CodaHighland:
It's the easiest to set up, but most of the development work has been happening on GBX, so if you aren't afraid of some dirty work to get it started (this IS a developer's forum) you'll have a better experience with GBX0B. In particular, the audio code in GBX is a lot more stable.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] isruco:
Very cool. Working good so far. Internet and phone work just fine, time synchronization is off but I just booted 3 mins ago, so still more to check out.

Thanks to all contributers to this project. I'll follow up later :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Enjoy.

Don't forget to read thru the FAQ. There's even a tip on clock drift ;).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] isruco:
Hmmm no sound

:confused:

Can't seem to get any sound from the ear piece or speaker. Microphone also not working.

I can make and receive calls but no sound, either hear caller or caller hear me. If I set phone to vibrate, it will vibrate when call comes in, but still speakers and mic do not work. I'll try swappping kernals, I've swapped only once and I'll try others.

GPS, internet and many apps so far work fine. SMS and camera/video work as well; no wifi (tried wifi-ace and no go) but not really an issue as I really dont depend on it.

Many thanks to arrrghhh and all involved in this thread and the community in general. Also looking to try the other build GOXBO soon :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
There should be no issues with sound in this build. Wipe the card using the HP Tool (full wipe, FAT32). Start over, retrace your steps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] MTN_Cool:
Hi i am using this FRX0.71 about month i think and i am having lots of problems.

1) GPS - not working.

2) Memory Management is not good :\. The device is moving slow cause of it - i tried scripts and stuff but the program is still not wrote perfectly (That's the main problem).

3) Battery Meter - The Battery meter is still not perfect - When it's 100% it's actually on 80% (if switching to wm6.5 i see that).

4) OC - not really helpful for the system to run faster, just a battery killer :\.

5) after 3 and half weeks the Froyo just stopped running all the stuff and i needed to reinstall all the system :(.

i really want it to be perfect (if i knew how to program i would do it myself), i want to use it permanently - will it ever be available and without bug ???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JDog2pt0:
1. GPS worked fairly well for me, but you need to boot into WinMo and warm up the GPS first to get it running the way you want to.

2. Not sure if the scripts work on FRX, but memory was never a major problem.

3. Battery meter and charging always have been, and probably always will be inaccurate.

4. OC works fine.

5. I ran Froyo for sometime and never had it just stop working.

All I can say is this. Froyo is "as is". Development on it appears have ceased with all efforts focused on GBX0B and NAND.

It would be a tad more helpful if you posted which Rhod you are using. Also be sure you are using the proper SD card. I believe, and don't qoute me on it, anything over Class 4 causes issues.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] MTN_Cool:
to tell the truth, i have been thinking about putting the GBX0B but i am looking on the FRX and i am afraid now :'(.

Can i put it on the SD card also like the FRX ?

and what is the "NAND" ? what is the difference between it and the GBX ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
NAND = replacing WinMo with Android. Not for the feint of heart, as there is an actual risk here, where SD builds there's really no risk.

However, ACL (and Alex) has done a very good job with LK and it's really quite safe considering what is being done. I just want to caution you to read carefully and follow steps. It is still in testing, so it's also assumed that you know how to pull logs and at least identify if the issue is user or system related...

With all of that said, NAND is awesome. It's pretty much the closest thing we'll ever have to a native Android phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JDog2pt0:
FRX is Froyo, GBX is Gingerbread- a newer version of Android. It goes on your SD card just like Froyo.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] MTN_Cool:
now it's more clearrrr...thanks mate...froyo it's the 2.2 gingebread is the 2.3.

now i see :)

so i installed the 2.3 and it's working almost like perfect, i just have problem with the camera.

But thanks on the information =]
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] frostyguy:
Just installed the latest kernal htc-msm-linux-20120227_213021-package.tar.bz2 and now sound wont work. Any suggestions?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Is that .27 or something newer? Newer kernels have a newer sound routing method, and will not work with FRX07.1.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] frostyguy:
yea, it's .27
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] detule:
The main .27 tree (built by the autobuild) has been merged with the .27-acoustic branch, i.e. the latest autobuild .27 kernel is designed to run on builds implementing the new acoustic libs (gbx0b). These libs have not made it to FRX yet.

You can either downgrade the kernel to the previous version (really the only change is acoustic), or you can be adventurous: pull libaudio, libaudiopolicy, and libhtc_acoustic from gbx0b copy them over to froyo, (then do all the csv yoga, and make sure you are on the latest rootfs - perhaps use the ones from gbx0b) and cross your fingers.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] frostyguy:
Yeah, been thinking about switching over to GB or get another mem card so i can switch off. I kind of wanted to wait for the official release after most of the testing is done. How is GB running compared to FRX these days? and thanks for the help argh you always come through.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] CodaHighland:
In my experience, the only thing FRX has over GBX right now is that on some people's phones (but not all of them) there's an occasional issue on GBX with placing outgoing calls getting a bit confused. detule and I are working on a fix for that. Otherwise, GBX seems to be running faster and more stable than FRX; it just takes more work to get it installed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] highlandsun:
Video cam works in FRX. Afaik it's still busted in GBX. No?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
IIRC, this is kernel dependent... I'll have to verify, I can't remember ATM. I thought .27 was fine tho.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] CodaHighland:
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I never use the video recorder anyway.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] detule:
Not kernel dependent -> camera works with 3.2 + omgb. Need to bisect which cyano patches we need to libstagefright.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
3.2... + OMGB? o.O?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] detule:
:) I loop-mounted it to test the camera and see what the fuss was about.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Aw, you tease. :p
