This seems to be a global issue that manifests itself differently for everyone. Some said they don't get calls while the phone is sleeping. Others have issues with flipping between 2g and 3g when you should be in a 3g area. We're working on it, no fix yet...

Well, I keep meaning to redo that how-to. There's a much easier way using the froyo.user.conf file... Basically you symlink the wifi-nvram.txt file to your /data partition. Shoot me a PM if this doesn't make sense, it'll also remind me to redo that how-to ;).

Huh. So you don't know what is causing certain songs not to play properly? Compare everything you can between two 320kbit songs... There was some discussion on ID3 tag recognition, but I don't see what that would have to do with choppy playback... Check the sample rate et al.

As for transferring data, USB Mass Storage will never work with looped mounts. Droid Explorer fakes it - what are you having problems with? Did you follow the FAQ section on ADB?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Brammiee:
Nice and fast reply. Thanks.

I noticed a strange thing with 3G/2G, because however there was an icon indicating I had no connection to the network, I could receive text messages. Sending messages was than again not possible.

I shall try to use the way you describe, but have to admit I have no idea what symlinking is. I'll send a PM as soon as possible, at the moment not the time.

Again thanks for advice

I stumbled across another thread, with someone who seems to have the same problem I have. After reading the post I have to get WiFi working, again without succes.

What I have edited:

froyo.user.conf

In the custom section:

ln -s /sdcard/wifi-nvram.txt /data/wifi-nvram.txt
ln -s /wifi-nvram.txt /data/wifi-nvram.txt0
ln -s /sdcard/wifi-nvram.txt /Android/data/wifi-nvram.txt
ln -s /wifi-nvram.txt /Android/data/wifi-nvram.txt

Because XDAndroid in a map "Android" on my SD card I used "/Android/data". I don't know if "/sdcard" is right, does XDAndroid recognizes the level above it's own location as "/sdcard"? Can is also be just "/wifi-nvram.txt"?

I used four different lines to have more chance on a successful result because I was not sure. Only one of them should work I think? (If they were working).

wifi-nvram.txt

macaddr=[B][xx][/B]:[B][xx][/B]:[B][xx][/B]:[B][xx][/B]:[B][xx][/B]:[B][xx][/B]

With [B][xx][/B]:[B][xx][/B]:[B][xx][/B]:[B][xx][/B]:[B][xx][/B]:[B][xx][/B] being my MAC

Does one of you see something wrong in the code? Or has anyone a better idea?

I would really be helped by it. Without WiFi it's useless to work with XDAndroid for me. :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] highlandsun:
Probably just SDcard speed, and a fragmented filesystem. If the files are not written to contiguous blocks on the SDcard it will take more commands to read them, and the SDcards just aren't very fast...

I have this problem -- anything that requires root permissions just crashes on my phone.. I don't see any way to add it to SU manually. I tried to reboot multiple times and re-run the app many times so it will request root and work.. but no dice.

Is there any way to pre-populate SU or go back to a version of SU that works?

I didn't have any problems in FRX06. And this is a fresh load of FRX07 on a brand new SD card with nothing else on it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
FRX06 was rooted and didn't care about applications that required it - root access was always just permitted. So rogue apps could infect the system without the user's knowledge...

Every build that's rooted out of the box on native devices provide the SU app in order to prevent the above from happening ^^.

I don't see any way of adding apps manually to SU. This sounds silly, but have you booted and let the phone settle before you try to open an app that required root? When I was first testing FRX07 before release, I was convinced that SU was not working - the UI was snappy, I was able to open apps like Titanium, but I wouldn't get the SU prompt. It seems the phone was still working out its demons, because eventually the prompt did come up. Then, after giving it permissions, Titanium worked as expected.

Worse comes to worse I guess you can turn off the who SU thing. There's this ro.secure setting in the prop file. Change it to a 0... SU won't matter as the build won't be "secure"...

Just saw your post was edited. How is it useless? Data connections work great :p.

This all looks good to me. The only line you should need is the first one - /sdcard is the location of your SD card from Android's perspective. /data/wifi-nvram.txt is where the file is supposed to go. I'm assuming you put the rest that is supposed to be in the file with your MAC? Also, did you put brackets around your MAC like that? It should just be 34:B7 etc. No [34]:[B7].... Hopefully that's your issue, if not let me know. We'll have to make sure that file is present when you boot, and that it is populated with the correct data, and then perhaps analyze some logs from when you try to use wifi. Has wifi ever worked for you on any XDAndroid build? If you replaced the kernel (zImage) did you make sure the modules file matched? They must match...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] knite:
i have run haret, it says haret:booting linux with the bar that comes up but then bar dissappears phone vibrates twice shuts down then reboots into windows again. any ideas what im doing wrong?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Hrm... If it vibed 2x that means the kernel has been picked up... Do you see anything else on the screen? Which RHOD do you have? Did you follow all the steps - startup.txt, ts-calibration, rel_path?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] knite:
i done start up text and unzipped calibration to root of sd card, nothing else comes up it literally just reboots
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Everything is at the root of the card? Please answer all my questions. Which RHOD do you have? Do you see anything on the screen after the progress bar fills?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] knite:
i have rhod100 and no i dont see anything after the bar dissppears it shuts down and reboots - and yes its all on the root of the card
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I guess format the card, and possibly try a different SD card if you can...

RHOD100's have been notoriously hard to support, because there's so many variants - and most are actually quite different from the other RHOD's...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pitflyer:
Yes, I booted the phone, sat it down after it booted for ten minutes, and then tried to load any app that required superuser. The app just crashes and there is no su prompt.

Where is this prop file so I can at make my phone not require SU? I don't see it on my sdcard, so I'm assuming I would need adb working to get to this file.

The whole reason I needed ConnectBot was to do the wifi fix the old fashioned way (since you and F22 found that out for me and that other guy back then). Connectbot crashes for me every time on FRX07 so I can't edit the file. I also tried it the ln -s way you listed, and that also doesn't work for me, but because I can't get to any terminal or command prompt I can't verify that my /data/wifi-nvram.txt is kosher :(

FRX06 is still working like a champ for me.. using the same wifi-nvram.txt on that one and it works fine, along with the same connectbot.apk that was installed there.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I guess try from scratch, and update the build to the newest kernel/rootfs. I'm not sure why it wouldn't work out of the box, it worked great for me once the phone had some time to work its evil out.

It's the build.prop file, and yes this file is in the system.ext2 file. Probably easier to get at within Android.

I am using ConnectBot right now on FRX07. I already granted it SU permissions, and now I just get a little notification that "ConnectBot has been granted root permissions" when the app starts up. I have no clue why it's not working for you... The only suggestion I had was above, the issue I had with it - even when the phone seemed done booting, it was still doing something in the background because the prompt didn't show right away...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pitflyer:
OK. I will try from scratch (which is what I did already) but then upgrade the components from FRX07.

I did some more research and put Titanium Backup on the build and that worked - it asked SU for permissions and got it. So basically, on a fresh install on a RHOD210, these apps do not work for me - they all crash -

ConnectBot (which doesn't ask for su rights till later)

Terminal Emulator (same)

Development Tools (which may require root, not sure)

All three just crash. I have the exact same APKs on my FRX06 copy and on my Samsung Vibrant (non rooted) and they work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Hrm... not sure what to tell you. ConnectBot should work without root, so long as you don't try to pass the 'su' command in the local terminal... Then it'll ask for root privileges. I was able to run the app no problem, and it didn't prompt for root access until I typed 'su' - then it asked... Not sure why it wouldn't work on your phone but works on mine fine... I'm not sure what would break SU, it's so new for XDAndroid... Sorry. Can you pull some logs from these apps dying?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pitflyer:
I can pull logs, if you tell me how :) I will note that Connectbot works fine to connect to remote ssh sites, I just can't use it for 'local'.. crashes every time. Also does Android Terminal which only tries local access. Similarly, Development Tools crashes when I choose most options there such as 'Debug Settings'.

I was able to work around the issue by installing EFS File Explorer (free) which can request root access (worked) and then copy my wifi-nvram.txt to the right place through that interface. For whatever reason my froyo.user.conf attempt to do the symlink fix didn't work either. But so far the other stuff (my work VPN suite, Pandora, etc) works.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] idenlover:
First, thank you to the developers! You have made me love my tp2 again enough to screw with sprint a little longer. Making mms and the 3.5 jack work finally sold me on this platform 24/7. I haven't had the random restarts, static from the rear speaker, or really any problems since installing a couple of days ago.

My question is, has anyone had success with big tin's adfree on FRX07? I installed it, which seemed to work fine, it says I have the most up to date hosts file, but yet I still see ads. I'm talking about programs like advanced task killer, which I had previously used adfree with the FRX06 build. Is the hosts file in a different place, do I need to manually swap it out?

Yes, I have restarted and pulled the battery a few times. I also started out with a fresh memory card for this install, and didn't reuse anything. And I have searched, but didn't turn up any other posts about this peticular problem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Have you read the FAQ? There's a section about logs that mentions a handy app from rpierce99 that makes pulling logs easy. Glad you got it working, that's definitely an odd issue tho - certain apps requesting root correctly but others... not? I guess reboot, run both - an app that works and an app that doesn't, then run getlogs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bahaa87:
thank you very much for this rom, but Arabic language doesn't supported correctly.

can any one help me please?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Unfortunately Android doesn't support Arabic natively. Looks like it might be at one point? CM supports it in v7 I guess. You'd have to hack support in, see if that guide helps? Sorry, I only speak English ;).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] idenlover:
Hey arrrghhh, thanks for all your hard work and dedication here.

Any idea on getting adfree working?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I read your post, but I don't support apps like AdFree - that discourages app devs from releasing free apps, and honestly that's one of the things I really do love about Android. There's almost always a free alternative that's good enough. Not always, but still. I can't really support some app that will potentially prevent devs from either a) releasing an app at all or b) not releasing an ad-free version.

If you can figure it out on your own, more power to you. Ads sure are annoying, but that's what supports free apps... ads.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] idenlover:
Thanks for the reply, and I appreciate your insight. While I see where you're coming from, I wasn't really asking for you to support an app or a movement, just one of your users. I don't have a lot of money, otherwise I wouldn't be using an older phone. The only people clicking on those ads are on $100 a month cell plans with $300 phones they don't even know how to use. I'm not one of those people. If I made a donation directly to you, and your pm'ed a solution if you knew one, would that make you fell better about the situation?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Not in the slightest. I don't use the app, so I don't know any tricks about it. I certainly wouldn't feel any better if you donated to me directly, the apps you're trying to circumvent are probably $2-3 apps. Take that donation destined for me and spend it on some of the apps you use the most, and support those devs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] rtrip:
Adfree works fine for me. Sometimes you have to revert your host files once to get it to work.

edit:

hmm... it actually wasn't working but I didn't notice until I started looking for ads.

I went back to my tablet which has it working and used its settings, and it's working now.

1) Revert

2) Use Custom IP - 999.0.0.99

3) Download & Install Hosts

I don't remember where I got the custom ip. Just remember to reboot.

I just redid FRX07 I have no wifi and Terminal Emulator keeps crashing, need some help thanks also getting unable to scan network
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I assume you need to do the wifi-nvram trick to get wifi working...? Is that why you need Terminal Emulator? Have you tried ConnectBot? It can be used to connect locally. I'm not sure why Terminal Emulator would just crash endlessly, Pitflyer just had that problem as well. Seemed to be SU related, but I don't know for sure.

I'm pretty sure I mention somewhere that if it's been more than 10 minutes, something's wrong. I guess I need to re-read the first post and make sure that's there...

At any rate, did you follow all the steps? ts-calibration is missed quite often, and will cause the condition you describe. There's three options for calibration on the first post, please re-read it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] SteelLife:
1) yes

2) yes

3) will do

now whats weird is when I used my old data.img from FRX06 it was ok
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] juzzwuzzz:
first i like to thank the developers for making this possible.

I'm using a HTC touch pro 2 for 1 year now and felt like i had an verry old phone, because everybody i know is using whatsapp/facebook/twitter etc etc. And those things just didnt work / or didnt work good on my WinMO 6.5

It was very easy to install the FRX07 Froyo Andriod from this thread.... so thanks for making it happen and this easy.

Now i have 2 questions? I can't find it on google or on this website:

1. GPS: I just cant get the GPS to work... I tried to download new guick gps data etc. etc. And waited for 15 min... but still no catch of gps?

2. WIFI: I cant get WIFI to work... I turned wifi on, and the phone starts to search for wifi, but before it can find anything, it just shuts the wifi down again.

Can anyone help me with those 2 problems?

last but not least.... the Android really works great... i noticed only one problem... sometimes (mostly when installing software from the market) it just hangs and reboots into android (it shows the startup animation thing)... but after the reboot it never finds my phone server (so no data or phone connection)... only way to solve this is to reboot the phone to WinMo and then with Haret go back into Android.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] GoodRevrnd:
I'm new to XDAndroid so I wasn't 100% sure about this process since the guide is more or less written for people who already know how the process works, but I found the wiki installation guide and read that as well and everything seems kosher. I reread all the posts, the installation guide and the FAQ and don't see anything about this problem. The first post mentions a known problems post to follow but that seems to be missing from what I can tell.

The ts-calibration step said I could do it manually and since this is a first time install I figured that's the way I should do it. I never saw any prompt to tap the screen. Should I just use the downloadable one?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] SteelLife:
Yes, use the downloadable one and report back!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] juzzwuzzz:
problems solved

1. GPS: turned the phone off tried gps on WinMO... got back to Android and there it was... now i have gps

2. Wifi: Searched for the wifi file on the root of the mobile... but my MAC adress was allready in that file, but i noticed that the first command line was placed off (white space before it)... looked it up in the wifi file provided by you guys and saw that there was some text missing... added it to the file... and there it is... now i have a working WIFI

FRX07 and Bluetooth In-Call Audio

Well I have been working with FRX07 to see if I could get a bluetooth headset to work with in-call audio. So far this is what I found and I was wondering if others could try to see if they get the same results.

I am running a Rhod500 phone and have found that if I pair a headset with the phone and then attempt to make a phone call I will get acknowledgment from the headset that it connected to the phone and I can even dial using voice command, but once the call makes connection the audio routes through to the speaker. On the in-call panel it shows the phone is still connected to the bluetooth headset. If I click the bluetooth off on the panel I hear the acknowledgement on my headset and the in-call audio will reroute to the ear piece on the phone.

So after several attempts to work with HYC's thread and trying all of his suggestions/libs/commands/etc... (Many Thanks go to HYC for his work BTW)

I then one day was working with a headset and BAM!!! All of the sudden I had audio through the headset! The first thoughts that came to my mind is I needed to recreate this so I could repeat the process. I tore down the system and reloaded everything, but could not come up with how I did it until now.

Now this is the part I would like someone else to try to see if they get similar results.

Pair your headset with your phone, turn the headset off (make sure it fully disconnects from the phone), place a call, once you get the in-call panel turn on your headset. This is when I head the acknowledment that my headset connected to the phone and then the call audio started routing! Now after this worked I hung up then attempted to redial and they audio kept routing through the headset.

With this information I hope that it helps others enjoy BT in-call audio plus help the developers put the final pieces of the BT puzzle together. Good Luck to others and post back to let everyone know your results with the various Rhod's...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] GoodRevrnd:
Does the Windows ROM you're using make any difference whatsoever for stability or performance? Does XDAndroid have a favorite radio?

Also, I can't get a GPS lock either, and booting back to Windows to get a lock didn't help.

EDIT: Managed to get GPS Test to lock after many minutes but Google Maps still won't. Going back to GPS Test now and it looks like I have to wait a long time to get a lock again.

EDIT2: So Google Maps GPS only seems to work if I prime it in GPS Test first.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] StitchRokcs:
Awesome new update this makes my phone 1000 times better now that I don't have to use WinMo6.5.x. However there is an issue with the battery, I have the HTC Tilt2 for ATT it's about a year and a half old and with XDAndroid the battery gets eaten up in less than 12 hours on standby. I know the green light means the phone is properly sleeping and orange means something is running but I can never get the phone to properly sleep. I have Advanced Task Killer for Android and I use it to kill apps that I was running but no matter what I kill it wont ever properly go to sleep.

Are there any tips or tricks to get the phone to "sleep" properly so it doesn't eat my battery down to nothing?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] highlandsun:
WinMo ROM is completely irrelevant. Radio could make a difference, but we haven't got enough feedback to know what those differences might be. Heck, even under WinMo I don't think any users really know what difference the various radio revisions makes.

Went back to my FRX06 data.img and now I can get online trying to solve but very lost and this data.img is slowing down
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] blognc:
It looks like someone's advice earlie in the thread to switch to 2G only can fix the problem, as in switching that on, then off, forces the phone to re-establish a connection.

Is there a way to force this behavior? Sometimes the system gets pretty unresponsive and could use a good kick in the pants.

The stock dialer is so underpowered, compared with the T9 dialing of the HTC Sense Windows Mobile dialer, that I couldn't live without a third party app to get that functionality. And the stock email doesn't let you move emails between folders on an Exchange server, a deal-breaker.

Amen! I hope to get that mysterious AT&T Samsung phone with the keyboard leaked last week. The problem here is this phone on XDAndroid is unresponsive enough I don't want to wait for the screen to switch to landscape every time I type.

I'd seen a bunch of posts of people claiming to have "optimized" Angry Birds themselves, and others talking about the original beta release of Angry Birds a year ago, then called Angry Birds Lite, but nothing about the Rovio-made lite version for slower phones. Guess I'll take a chance on the "optimized" APKs.

Thanks for taking the time!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] The Silent Man:
I don't have any problems with connection if I choose 2G only. I wrote that couple of posts earlier.
