WiFi Only

I have the T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 (think it is a rhodium 210) and I ran this on it tonight and it seems awesome except that my wife only wants to use it for wifi internet browsing while watching TV. It does not have a sim card and when I first loaded the android OS it keeps trying to go to a website and keeps saying " no sim card". I want to kill the browser and just go to settings to setup wifi but it wont let me go to the desktop or settings. Can we use the phone this way and also use the android market to download and install apps without a sim card?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] netham45:
Can you point us to what battery you got, how much life you're getting, etc...?

buttons not working

Hi, i have used the latest september build but am not able to use any of the four buttons on my touch hd? can you please help?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] fortunz:
You can read more about it my sig, under the Rhod170 link. I got a huge boost over my ancient original battery, but it was on its last leg anyway -- I practically had it plugged in all the time, and it was only mobile inbetween chargers. Now I can go a day and a half on moderate to heavy use, or 2 days on light to moderate use. Since I charge every night anyway, I never have to worry about it.

Finding a legit 170 without paying through the nose might be hard. Lots of fakes out there, but I got mine for $5 and it is HTC.

I've never heard of this. I run a CDMA phone w/o a SIM card, so I'm not sure what would happen if you try to boot w/o a SIM on a GSM device in our port.

If you hit the end key, it doesn't take you to the desktop? I can't really recreate this bug, sorry mate.

First of all, you're posting in the wrong section (Blackstone section). Second, update to the newest rootfs from the autobuild service (first post) and put physkeyboard=blac in your startup.txt. This is all in the Blackstone specific thread, I encourage you to go there.

Thanks for the reply. You just gave me an idea. I tried checking the "Force CDMA" checkbox before hitting the boot button on the startup app and it just says "No Service" now instead of no sim card but it is still auto-launching the android browser and trying to go to http://www.launcherpro.com. Whenever I try and go to the home screen using any of the buttons it just takes me back to the browser and says "This version of launcherpro has expired. Please go to www.launcherpro.com to get the latest version." No matter what I try it just stays on the browser unless I hit the phone key then it takes me to the phone. Anyone have any ideas?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Are you using some ancient build? Please re-read the first post and make sure you're using files from it. You sound like you're using a ridiculously ancient build ;).

Might want to wipe your card and start over with the directions on the first post... the HP Tool is great for that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] qqa92:
Oh, that must be it then. The zip file that I downloaded is FRX07.1_Full_Bundle_20110901.zip. Must be an old version. Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
:confused:

That's the newest one. It doesn't come bundled with LauncherPro or anything like that.... there's an old build that does, but it's from September of 2010...

There's also nothing from the first post that would have a "checkbox for force CDMA" or any of that nonsense. force_cdma has been deprecated for almost a year, plus there's no application that would provide you such a checkbox from the first post. Again, that sounds like an ancient build...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] qqa92:
Oops, I'm sorry, got confused (was up late last night toying with this and forgot some things that happened, lol) I was trying to use the files that I downloaded first (FRX07.1_Full_Bundle_20110901.zip) and I couldn't get it to boot into Android (it was just sitting at the boot screen that was black and had really small font like it was loading OS drivers or something). It was just sitting there on both attempts like over 30 minutes so I decided to see if there was another file I could download and I found this file (XDAndroid2.2BLAZN.092810.rar) and it had a launcher program that had an "Update" button right next to a "Boot" button and I updated to version 2011_01_23 (it says "update is not needed. Current version is 2011_01_23. Installed version is 2011_01_23." This one boots up fast and looks like it is going to work great but it wont let me close the browser asking me to go to http://www.launcherpro.com. Just want to close the browser, get to the home screen and then go to settings and setup wi-fi so we can use the phone to browse the internet and load a few games and such from the android market. Just wanted to turn my old phone/paperweight into something useful. :D

Thanks for your help!

Ok, downloaded the HP tool and am formatting the sdcard again. I will try using the files from FRX07.1_Full_Bundle_20110901.zip again and see if it will let me boot into Android this time. Thanks again!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Follow ALL the steps. ts-calibration, rel_path= if you have everything in a folder, etc. Good luck.

Shutting Down and Restarting

When I "shutdown" Android, it actually reboots my phone. I'm not sure if this is intentional or not. Would it be possible to have a shutdown that turns my phone off and a restart that does what shutdown currently does?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Known bug. Pull the battery is about the 'best' solution.

Edit - now that I think about this more, wasn't there some app that works for this? I can't remember. Gonna do a quick search, 1sec.

"Edit" It is available in the market, just not for out devices. Going to try something else
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Flash will never work for our devices. It doesn't work well for devices like the Nexus1, we don't really have any hope of it working well for us. Besides, Adobe is pulling flash from the Android platform.

I remember reading about that. Sorry to say SkipSkip, but I think you're out of luck. Best just uninstall it and move on.

Please quit posting in the wrong section. I will gladly answer your question in the correct section/thread. Carrying on this here is just going to confuse people.

1. Every once and a while when I boot into android it sits on [ 2.494506] allocated dma buffer at ffc0b000, dma_addr 2426d000. (Can't guarantee the numbers are the same everytime but the format is) Not sure if this is a bug or my phone being my phone.

2. What is the easiest/best way to log the startup, all that text that scrolls by. From what I've read, unlike most linux distros, Android doesn't log it natively. (Yes I know Android technically isn't a linux distro)

Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] SkipSkip24:
Thanx to Arghhh and Jdog for the quick feedback. I just found out that crackle doesnt work on mobile devices. Crackle does work on an unrooted kindle fire. So maybe adobe really screwed us over or tablet android sellers really bought him.

Btw don't ever get PNY sd card class 10 or any class 10 sd. I bought one on black friday the 16g pny c10. I got mutiple crashes and most of the apps couldn't load and its really slow. Formated several times even formated 7pass dod military approved. The only way it could work is if you copy the disk image of a working sd. Which it does defeat the purpose of 16gb acting out as a 4gb sd.

Tnx guys for the quick response. Arghhh is right adobe pull the plug. Crackle does on work on an unrooted kindle fire though. So im guessing flash works on most tablets. Why is adobe doing this? apple or htc better pay the man!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
1. No clue, other than I have had some failed boots before. I haven't had any in a very long time, unfortunately I don't know what causes them. Just reboot and try again.

2. Everything is logged, dmesg are kernel logs and logcat are userland logs. There's an app in AndroidApps\Other called GetLogs that helps you pull these log files.

What do you mean, 16gb acting out as a 4gb SD...? The data.img is 256mb regardless, unless you expand it (which I don't think you can expand it beyond 2gb anyways) so what are you talking about!??!

Class 10 cards are NOT recommended for this port, many have had (well-documented) issues with them. Class 4 seems the max, although some have reported success with class 6 cards.

Flash is a bag of ass, and deserves to die. I don't really agree with the tactic Apple took to kill it, but it certainly was effective.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] AkumaX:
since i have no idea what i'm talking about, how do i go from .27 to .35 kernel? is it just a simple zimage/modules swap?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] rpierce99:
For the most part, yes, but expect more/less/different things to be broken before/after/during the upgrade :) Most .35 kernels are using userland audio routing though, so if audio is on your list of must-haves, you will either want to upgrade your audio libraries at the same time, or skip the .35 upgrade.

Don't forget the different HaRET executable and init offset... See my .39 thread for more info.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JDog2pt0:
Tightening up the Resolution

Source Here

So basically lcd.density is not read by the kernel so it defaults to a DPI of 210. If you want a DPI of 240 (makes everything smaller so it's personal preference) change lcd.density=240 to lcd_rec=240
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] helicopter88:
Kernel doesn't care about lcd.density.

Init reads it,and probably it defaulted to 210 since lcd_res isn't read.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JDog2pt0:
Somewhere you misread or I've misworded. Granted my terminology is off, I just assumed it was the kernel (brand spanking new to Android). It defaulted to 210 because lcd.density was present in the startup.txt. When I replaced lcd.density=240 with lcd_res=240 it changed to a DPI of 240.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] frostyguy:
Okay, just loaded up the latest zimage pack and upon starting up haret it says that I need to fix something with the rootfs. Now android does not want to start.

Using the combination below

htc-msm-linux-2.6.35-20111129_192036-package.tar.bz2

rootfs-20111119-031ea5e.zip

PS I was using that rootfs with

htc-msm-linux-20111017_080427-package.tar.bz2

and everything worked fine

Much thanks to anyone who can help
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Uhhhh .35 requires a lot of changes. Stick to .27, unless you make the changes necessary to run the .35 kernel. You should also be prepared for a lot of other things to not work... .35 isn't as 'mature' in a sense as .27 is.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JDog2pt0:
Speaking of all this, what are the differences between these kernels, and what do the different ".xx" refer to? So far I've heard of .27 .35 .39

I guess .39 is more geared to the Rhodium?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] frostyguy:
thanks arrrghhh, kinda figured that might have been it, didn't think i'd have to change so much though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Kinda OT for this thread, but AFAIK .39 only has boardfiles for RHOD's. Same with 3.0 and 3.1 (yes, there are kernels that boot and are pretty comparable to .39... but pretty unstable). They're RHOD-only AFAIK.

.35 has support for RAPH and TOPA I believe. KOVS as well, for sure...

Not sure what the status is for these on DIAM or BLAC.

tethering

The wifi tethering was working fine with my tablet 2 days ago. Then I installed the SuperCharger app with argressive settings 256hp oom groupings. Now tethering doesn't work. Does anybody have a similar problem?

---------- Post added at 01:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 AM ----------

Correction mean portable hotspot not tethering!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] SkipSkip24:
After many searches and android crashes to solve this issue!!

I remove the supercharger and updated the rootfs to 20111119. Somehow i got portable hotspot working again.

Will attempt to reinstall the supercharger.

Disregard last post!!! It only fixes the connection but on disconnection screen frozen! I'll revert to the backup of the original rootfs that came with the bundle.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Sigh... I thought this was on the FAQ too lazy to check right now.

The built-in portable hotspot is spotty at best. It usually works fine, until you go to disable it - then everything explodes. USB tethering was solid for me, and most third party apps for wifi tethering worked as well. There's even a XDAndroid wifi tethering that works well - the only problem is all the third party apps (including ours) use adhoc networks instead of an actual AP.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] SkipSkip24:

---------- Post added at 04:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 AM ----------

Okay this work for adhoc connection. It only sees it as a device not a wifi hotspot. I hoping to connect to tablet not just for laptops. A good app though.

To get it working go under settings>change device profile> select generic. Settings>Change Channel to 01. Start tethering.

I surely hope someone can fix the native wifi-hotspot. Its the most convenient way to get tablets to internet without spending extra service fees.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Thanks for reading my post :rolleyes:. Oy.

Oh well. The native hotspot works fine, until you try to disable it. If it's that important, fix it yourself and submit a patch!!

Hello, I've got problem with booting this build. My device reboots after starting haret.exe. Do you know how to fix this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
In the FAQ it has some troubleshooting steps. I trust you at least attempted to follow them? What have you tried?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wirher:
I formated my card and rhodium isn't overclocked.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
You mean WinMo isn't overclocked..? You can overclock Android, but you can't boot Android if WinMo is overclocked.

How did you format the card? Don't use the built-in WinMo or Windows format utilities.

Have you tried a different card? Did you grab the correct startup.txt? Do you get the double vibe? Have you ever been able to run Android on your phone before?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wirher:
I tried xdandroid few months ago (one with startup utility). Card was formated using HP format tool. WinMo isn't overclocked, startup file was copied from archive with frx07. When I run haret.exe there is double vibe, screen freezes, sometimes goes half black, and then PDA is rebooting. I've tried to run it on 2 roms but with no success.

In a pickle

Hi guys

I've not been in for a while as the phone has been working great... Just await notice that the BT and Video sound and the Market reboot probs are sorted. ANy updates on progress would be welcome

However, I did something realy stupid on Thursday. I was telling a developer I met what a great job you guys had done and suggested he takes a look at my SD card in his Android phone - ping!!!:mad: It deleted all the contents of the SD Card and corrupted it :mad::mad::confused::mad:

So I had to reformat and try and re-install from scratch, including loosing my Titanium backups. Add the Market reboot prob, this is a nightmare.

So, the lesson: Don't show off your SD card to anyone! It did also make me think that maybe we should have a filemanager, like Astro in the build.

Something else I have found. I always wondered why some games and apps, like Google's Sky Map seems in reverse when using tilt. I have installed a "spirit level" app and the up down motion are in reverse on the phone. Is this in the build? Can this be changed?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Did you make sure it's the correct startup.txt?

Double vibe is good. You don't see anything else on the screen? No flying text? Perhaps try a different kernel. Also post your startup.txt, just to be sure.

You're still being vague, and not answering all my questions. What RHOD do you have? Did you try a different card?!?

Sigh... :rolleyes:

Market reboot is more-or-less fixed in GB.

No clue why you would have that issue, unless his phone was set to format the card. I've never had that happen, and I've thrown my card in other TP2's to show them how it works. If you put your card in a native Android device, that would be completely and utterly useless, and I have no idea why you would even think that would be a good idea. Seriously, stop and think - what would a native Android device 'see' on your card that would be even remotely useful? Also, did you pull the card while your phone was running Android? lol.

Anyone can install a file manager, like Astro. I think I included it in AndroidApps, I can't remember - if I haven't, I agree it should be included there, but I refuse to force apps on anyone that isn't provided in gapps/AOSP.

Also, g-sensor works great for me. Does it work 'normally'? Like when you're in an app that supports rotation (messaging apps do). I'm betting you have the wrong startup... Cuz I play a game called Labyrinth Lite sometimes, and that game is VERY dependent on the g-sensor - and I'd say it works fantastically.

Borked this morning!

Woke up this morning, took my phone off the charger and hit the power button and the phone rebooted. Ran haret and my phone boots into android. Allof the sudden everything starts to FC. Once I unlock, it goes downhill. Text messages come in? ADW launcher closes, google music closes, Facebook closes, SD Booster closes, Menu button doesnt work. Cant access my apps. Front pages have been cleared? WTF?:) Never had this happen before. Might try reformatting the card? Anybody else experience this or might know whats causing it? Tryed supercharging awhile ago and never could get dropbox to install correctly. Just left everything as is>>>

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jonners59:
It was silly. I was just going to show him how it was installed on the card, but god knows why I didn't just show him on mine. Anyway paid the price and I feel such a plonker!:o

I still have about 30 aps that want to update, but fail. If I recall on a previous rebuild I had to delete them in Titanium first and then try. I'll do that one at a time over the next few weeks. How was the Market fixed for GB?

No, there is no folder manager in the included apps, that's why I suggested it. Please you agree.

Re the g-sensor: I do not use many aps that use g-sensor, just Google Sky Map, Space Junk, the spirit level, Army sniper and those messaging apps. The top to bottom is in reverse on the first 3 of them... Messaging, I do not find particularly responsive and often end up with the screen layout not the way I am viewing, though not noticed it reversed top to bottom, just an issue with portrait v landscape. The latter is a game my boys play, so not sure. You suggest it is in the Start-up. I certainly have the correct one based on the FYI. What should I look for in the script?

As for the other fixes being worked on, are they progressing and if so at what stage?

I also wanted to add another app I am having trouble with: RoK Tv. It loads but will not play the Tv programs. Is there an issue with playing Tv?

Thanks, as always, for your support and the stirling work you and the guys are putting in. This build is absolutely brilliant.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] tomsimmons:
Just installed this.

Seems a little sluggish at times, but I'll stick with it.

One question though, I've noticed some funny battery activity. I can put it on charge (mains) and let it charge up, it can reach the charged status. Without disconnecting it I can check back and it has dropped to 80%ish. Check a few minutes later might be 90%ish, then could suddenly drop into the 80s again, or might go back to charged.

One thing I didn't do, and probably should have, was fully charged before installation and kept it on charge during installation.

---------- Post added at 10:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ----------

Oh, the other thing I meant to ask...

When you hit the power button to wake up the device and you're on the front screen with the unlock drag thing, is there anyway of changing the time out before the screen shuts down again, or making it stay on when plugged into the mains?

I get a few seconds, 3-5 maybe, then it goes back to sleep.

You can change the timeout settings in display settings, not sure if they effect the lock screen tho.
