You are the only person who I have heard saying they are having an issue with google play. Assuming that you have the gapps stuff working perhaps try formatting your card, and reinstalling. If your gmail app works I would assume that the account info for google play should work too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] latinohot:
I have no idea where or how to install the gapps from, and also my gmail doesn't work.

can you help me, please?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wizardknight:
You could try google, or XDA search. Plug gapps into it, and you will get lots of hits. Got to work a little here, My spoon is rusty. It has been a long time since I was running this flavor. All I know is that your issue is related to something from the gapps not working right. I can't remember if it is built in or not. I want to say it was, but I'm not sure. If it is; wipe and reload the sd card from scratch. That would be a simple fix. The other option is to manually load all the programs, libs, ect from gapps.

Best update for battery

Hi

I just installed this build on my and I noticed the battery gets sapped in minutes. can someone pls point me to the best kenel/update that helps keep battery. I'm always on the road and I would need my phone to stay on till I get to a place where I can easily recharge the battery. Thanks. Great work, guys. I hope to update on progress soon.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] CodaHighland:
If you're comparing battery life to Windows Mobile, it's going to be shorter. If it's only minutes, though, either your battery is failing, or you're running some apps that aren't letting the phone sleep.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] latinohot:
I have searched both Google and xda and both are no help when they don't have instructions on how to install gapps, but thanks for your help anyways
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wizardknight:
Wow. :rolleyes:

You would probably be better off running WM. It tends to work out of the box without any effort.

---------- Post added at 09:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------

If your battery is lasting less than an hour, you need a new one or something is wrong with your phone. This is not a software issue. On a full charge you should be able to get at least 3 hours with everything running at the same time.

You could try OMGB or GBX*+3.4.15. They have the latest battery code in their kernels.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] latinohot:
I agree that wm runs out of the box, but why is this forum here then, is it not to help less knowledgeable fellows like myself?

But unfortunately this forum is filled with only engineers and know it alls that when someone asks for help all we get are demining answers and no help at all.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wizardknight:
Well the forums are called XDA developers

XDA and google has lots of hits about gapps. Clearly not trying that hard. A little self education is needed.

I am not a dev/engineer. I showed up with no knowledge about android, and after reading lots I now understand it. Got to work for it a little. You are also posting in threads that have very limited following these days. So you will have to do more work than average. You might be better off getting a device that runs android natively if you can't put the time into understanding it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Guys... What the heck happened here?

Gapps comes as part of all XDAndroid builds... Maybe we're lazy, maybe we just like being rebels.

Regardless, gapps is not the issue.

latinohot, try to ask your question a little more strategically perhaps... Like provide a complete description of what is failing, what is it doing, and what you have tried. That last piece might be the most important part - not only does it tell us that you're trying, but it also tells us what you have tried so we don't have to go over that again.

I assume you've added a Google account to Accounts & Sync? That's essential. It sounds like from your original post (which you quoted one of my posts, for seemingly no reason...) that you haven't properly added your Google account to Accounts & Sync. Please go into Settings -> Accounts & Sync and add your Google account. Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wizardknight:
He said that he couldn't get it to go past the add account screen. So I have to assume that there is no google account info setup.

The only time I have found the roms unable to add a google account was when something from the gapps framework/account stuff was screwed up or missing. Then it would only show account setup for exchange. Of course it could be something else, but I have no idea where to begin looking at that point. That is why I suggested a wipe and reload from in the beginning as a easy troubleshooting step. So far there has been 0 feedback regarding any troubleshooting.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] latinohot:
I am sorry not have posted feedback, and thanks for the suggestions on buying an android phone, but if you read my signature you'll see I have a galaxy skyrocket, but to the point that brought me here in the first place.

Yes I started fresh on a new SD card grab the full bundle which I assume has gapps built in anyways I can't get pass the sign on screen as soon as press yes to continue the market screen goes away. I have tried to add the Google apk but same results I did search

gapps but there were no apk's that I could install just zips. And I don't know how to install zips without clockwork mod, I have plenty of experience on Samsung because of all the roms I have flashed that way infact right now I am running jellybean but that's another different phone.

So yeah I have plenty of time vested on my tilt2 with both WM and android FRX07, what I'm saying is that before I ask questions I have done my homework first.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wizardknight:
Gapps download.

Google search gapps manual install guide

1st link in list step 2b

However if you have done a clean install, and according to arrrghhh gapps are built in I don't see that as being your issue.

No idea what has happened. No one else has reported an issue like yours, and GBX0C has been downloaded a few times.

Good luck.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] latinohot:
Thanks I'll try when I get home tonight

edit...

after reading the link you posted, I realized that's ecxactly what I was doing, adding the individual apk's one by one

so I'll see if I am missing some crucial apk's needed to run google play, thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I don't understand why you can't add the account under Accounts & Sync, then go to the Google Play store...

I've done this several times, on multiple TP2's. No problems.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] latinohot:
after checking under Accounts & Sync, I have nothing there all I have is Microsoft Exchange and Facebook

when I check on my Samsung under the same settings I have the option to add Google account, so what the heck am I missing?

P.S. I am starting from scratch, with everthing out of the bundle, one thing i have is no wifi upon boot it jumps to bootloop

after adding the wifi-nvram trick then wifi works
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wizardknight:
Man. Why don't you tell us things like that?!?! Is there any other major things you are doing that you haven't told us?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] latinohot:
Just tried from scratch again and lost my WiFi evevn with the nvram trick is not working, and yes I formatted the sdcard again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wizardknight:
Ok. So I loaded WM onto my TP2, downloaded a fresh copy of android from the first post. Loaded it onto my sd card. Booted up fine. I see the option to add google accounts. No idea what you are doing wrong, but the files are all good.

Good luck figuring it out. Your going to need it.

I am going to go wipe WM off my phone now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] latinohot:
You'll go nand now?

And yes I see the option now but now I don't have WiFi, darn it, I'll try again with the wifi-nvram trick

what do you think if i start from my old data copy the one that has the market and wifi working, i'm talking about the data from froyo.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wizardknight:
I have been Nand for a long time. I got tired of corrupted sd cards.

I would say that using data from Froyo in GB is asking for all kinds of trouble. You should give it a shot.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] latinohot:
just finish booting and it boots up fine, but again the non market and non option to add google account is not present, aaarrrrhhhggg this is killing me not having my tilt2 on android, i might just try to go nand myself
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wizardknight:
It is harder to setup than SD.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] latinohot:
i was afraid of that, when i said it boots fine I meant with froyo data on it, weird that it even boots up doesn't it

but bluetooth works, wifi works, but no google play, darn it,

wrote to soon, after i added the apk's one by one, I now have the welcome to MSM screen and when I touch the android to start nothing happens
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Don't mix and match data.img's.

I don't know what the issue is. It sounds like you got it working at one point, but no wifi...? The wifi-nvram "trick" *should* have nothing to do with the Market/Google Play.

You're formatting using the HP Tool? Have you tried different SD cards? I don't see why either of those things would cause this issue. Perhaps, are you not being patient on boot? I don't know what to tell you, other than these phones take ages to actually 'finish' the boot process. I always wait for the data connection to go green before doing anything - but it won't until you get a Google account setup... Ironic.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] FaluSeyi:
Screen blanks out during call out

I don't know if anyone else has same issue. Whenever I try to call out the screen goes black while the call is on and all attempt to wake the screen is futile, yet the call goes on.

I'm running a RHOD400 and I have not changed anything since I installed this build two nights ago. Today was my first call out. Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
This is "expected behavior". There's a proximity sensor near the top of the phone, and it should turn the screen on/off according to the prox sensor...

Now there have been a few (very few) phones that had prox sensor "issues", and basically the prox sensor would always report there was something "near" - as such the screen would always be off while in a call...

Does the prox sensor work OK in WinMo? In a call, put your finger next to the left of the speaker grille for the earpiece... Just to the left of that grille is the prox sensor. Put your finger over it, and it should shut the screen off (in-call).

Also, which kernel are you running? You said you changed nothing, so I am assuming the bundled kernel... The .27 kernel included is "safe" if you will, but I would highly recommend a newer kernel.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] latinohot:
Yes I've tried three different cards with same results, I'll wait more after fresh flash.

Edit.... Success, after many tries and buggin' the heck out of members of this forum I now have google play market

I had to start from scratch and let it settle for a long time, then finally I was given the create or sign into google screen, thanks for those who

help me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Likn'_ùs:
Hi guys!

Greetings from Italy =)

I would like to ask you (since the thread is too long to be read compleately) how you find this ROM!

I've found back again my old Rhodium in the drawer and i would like to use it for a while with Android on NAND.

Could you please tell me how "fast" is with this ROM? Does it have some specific problems that affect daily use?

(may i ask you also if this is, in your point of view, the best ROM for our smartphone?)

Thanks you all!

Bye ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] latinohot:
if you want nand, then check out the other thread for NAND builds, unfortunately this is for GingerBread with Haret meaning run android through your sd card
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wizardknight:
The rom's download links and instructions are in the first post.

This rom is not Nand. This rom's speed depends on how high the random read/write speed of the sd card you use is.You can also overclock to help the speed a bit.

Bluetooth can be a bit iffy for some people, and it is easy to corrupt the sd card if the phone is not shut down properly. Other than that it is a decent rom, and easy for beginners.

If your computer skills are up for the challenge I recommend Nand rom GBX0* + 3.4.15 kernel. I run it as my daily.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Likn'_ùs:
Thanks! ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] latinohot:
So which are you going to go for, meaning what will you install?

P.s. arrrggghhh I am not getting audio through my USB attachment like I used to, I'm using the included kernel and rootfs that came with the bundled. Any suggestions other than to stick with WM?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I would never recommend sticking with WinMo... :p

Anyhoo, try a newer kernel - the bundled one is old... No clue if a newer one will fix your issue, but it's worth a shot.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] latinohot:
I forgot to mention that I had changed kernels but all with same results
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Uhm... I don't know what to tell you. I have a 3.5mm jack and it works great... I know the GSM variants aren't so lucky, and have to use that silly dongle.

I think the dongle should still work fine tho. Does the phone 'recognize' it? Can you please actually describe what happens and what you've tried? It's basically impossible to help someone when they provide so little information, unless it's some common issue - which none of yours really have been...

So please, try to be a little more descriptive and explain a bit more as to exactly what you've done, what you've tried, and IN DETAIL what the heck happens when you try to use the dongle.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] latinohot:
here it goes,

after booting into android I let it sit for 10min, after that I press the power button to bring back the phone to life and have it show me the unlock screen, I then proceed to unlock the phone and after that i go to my tune in radio app and start play any station, at this point is playing fine through the phone's speaker very loudly I might add, then I put the dongle in with the headset plugged in and nothing happens I then disconnect the dongle and the headset from the dongle and try again, this time the dongle first then plug in the headset and nothing happens again.

At this time I'm thinking it might be something wrong with the hardware, so I boot back to WM and try Pandora and plug the dongle in with headset and voila, I hear the music on the headset, so at this point I have ruled out is not hardware problem, so I then connect my phone to my computer and change the kernel and boot back to Android, and repeat the proccess all over again with the same results no audio through headset.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wizardknight:
Now you are getting the hang of it, but you still need to give more info. For example, what kernel did you try. There are 5 or 6 that can work with this rom if memory serves me right. Have you tried plugging in the headset before you start the music? What exactly is the dongle? Has it been reported to work with android?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] latinohot:
for the unlucky few of us that touch pro 2 the ones on GSM don't have a headset jack built in like the CDMA models

yes I tried the ones on the testing thread for the non nand builds and of course the built in with the bundle as well, and yes I have tried the plugging in the dongle first and then music but no routing either
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] CodaHighland:
For information's sake, I have the official HTC dongle, the one with a 2.5mm jack, a 3.5mm jack, and a Mini-USB jack, and all three ports work perfectly in the standard Music app, in TTPod, and in Budgerigar.

A question to be asked: Does it work with apps besides Pandora? Pandora's audio routing has always seemed a bit iffy to me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] latinohot:
I too have the oem adapter, let me know which kernel you are using please.

and can you try with tuneIn Radio, please
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] CodaHighland:
I think I'm on 3.3.6, and no, I can't try because I actually don't remember where I put my TP2 because I upgraded to a newer phone about two months ago.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wizardknight:
:crying:

Poor phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] latinohot:
Mr. Wizard do yo happen to have that kernel somewhere that you can share?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wizardknight:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Slipdoozy:
on [ACL]'s omgb rom i can use the orignial htc mogul y adapter and have had no problems with audio good luck

edit cannot confirm on this sdcard [TESTING] XDAndroid GBX0C 2.3.7 Build cause i only use Nand

but can confirm works on [ROM][NAND] GBX0* + 3.4.17 kernel - update 11/4/12 using the above audio adapter

Luckily i kept 2 of these from mogul days. ive read somewhere that this adapter has worked on all build from the beginning. idk for sure but it sounds good lol

edit again

5-in-1 also works on [ROM][NAND] GBX0* + 3.4.17 kernel - update 11/4/12 so idk if this was any help?

in fact i used both 2.5mm and 3.5mm and routed audio jus fine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] latinohot:
The second one is the one that I have. It works very well on WM and with froyo 7.1 maintenance build.

At this point I give up I will just have to put my tilt2 to rest it was a very good machine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Dongle worked great last time I tested it.. Unless you're willing to do some leg work (I never saw any logs, and you said you tried different kernels - did you verify those kernels were actually running?)

However, as you know... the nature of anything that is 'ported', it's likely to have oddities.

Regardless, you'd probably be better off on a NAND build. Your level of knowledge seems to inhibit you, which is unfortunate - but any new development is going to happen on NAND. Not many want the SD card builds anymore...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] latinohot:
I always thought you had cdma touch pro 2(sprint)

yes I'd like to give NAND a try but I prefer to have WM on main memory instead, I do prefer to have android on the SD card. thanks for your help

edit...

I hope you can help me with the logs I sent you i hope it was the right ones.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Post your logs in the thread please. I am not an expert at the acoustic routing, and I am probably not going to be the one to fix your issue - unless of course you've done something wrong to set it up.

It shouldn't matter what TP2 I have... The dongle is the dongle.

What CSV files are you using? Perhaps that's why it works in FRX, you're not using the correct/complete set of CSV files for GBX...?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] latinohot:
I am using the ones from my WM ROM, and is the same ROM that I was using when I was flashing froyo
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
FroYo doesn't utilize the CSV files... at all. The new acoustic code didn't get integrated to a 'public' build until GBX.

Hence why I am speculating if you missed that step/messed that step up.

Please post your logs, and perhaps ensure you have ALL the CSV files. Maybe even try the ones I posted, who knows.

Trial and error is a big part of this project, and if you're not willing to try this isn't going to work...

I also asked if you ensured the new kernels you were running were actually running by checking About Phone in Settings. Did you do all of these things?

Honestly, no one has reported issues with this - I guess since it works on FRX and you can't seem to handle more advanced things, stick with FRX?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] latinohot:
I remember that we had to pull the CSV files when we were doing testing for froyo audio routing through headset and bluetooth, that's how I know to pull the CSV files, and yes I did check to make sure that the kernel was being installed every time I changed them, I will post the logs when I get home tomorrow, thanks

Edit....After intensive testing of different kernels, rootfs, and whatnots, I have finally solved the issue with no soud through headset.

It turns out the addapter I was using was from my wife's old HTC Pure, and that adapter found its way to our dogs mouth a while back and I had forgotten all about it, this morning

I looked to see if I still had my adapter, the one for my Tilt2 and yes I found it, so now I'm listening to my tilt2 on my home stereo with radio stations from back home:)

Thank-s for those who help and suggested other things. Thank-s
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] CosmicBlue2000:
Why are the values in the build.prop set up in a way, that you can't nearly download anything from play market, saying incompatible device in felt 90% of apps, even if they working on Tilt2 - like WhatsApp?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wizardknight:
Could you be more specific? There are a lot of values in build.prop.

If you don't like the values, change them. Perhaps even go as far as to post a build.prop you feel is better, and the reasons you feel it is better. All about the community effort, and helping each other out here.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] CosmicBlue2000:
Well, there are a lot of hint and tipps and tweaks how to access full market.

I change values beginning with ro.product. only, faking a Galaxy S2 this way.

ro.product.model=GT-I9100

ro.product.brand=samsung

ro.product.name=Galaxy S2

ro.product.device=GT-I9100

ro.product.board=GT-I9100

ro.product.manufacturer=samsung

But that's not the problem.

I am asking why, because there might perhaps be a reason for those values in these XDA releases.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wizardknight:
Looking at the default info, I would say that they were chosen to be as close to the device as possible/max compatibility, rather than trying to get Google play to allow downloads of the most things. Maybe one of the original devs of this rom will chime in, but not to many are seen around these days.

ro.product.model=Touch Pro 2

ro.product.brand=htc

ro.product.name=HTC_rhodium

ro.product.device=rhodium

ro.product.board=rhodium

ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v6j

ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi

ro.product.manufacturer=HTC

Change them, and feel free to report back if/how they work better for you. This place is all about the trial and error. Then sharing what you learn so no one has to reinvent the wheel.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] CosmicBlue2000:
Strange, these were not the settings I had.

I had things like XDAndroid, MSM or MDM or something like that and some others, but I don't remember which one was where.

I'll try these.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wizardknight:
It is always a good idea to post what you have so that we can all be looking at the same thing.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] CodaHighland:
Mine has the MSM / XDAndroid text too. Actually the most common setting you might want to change is the pixel density; that can make a substantial difference in what apps Google Play thinks are compatible, without actually causing breakage.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] latinohot:
so if I understand you correctly, the reason I'm not able to install chrome browser is because of pixel density?

or is there something more to it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wizardknight:
Maybe. Change it and see what happens.
