barebones?

how hard would it be to do a GBX barebones rom? i mean delete all un-necessary files. Such as the sounds personally i use my own, what if you would delete all but one in each catagory? What about delete browser, car home, keyboard apk, and so on?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Slipdoozy:
try and see! make a backup first! then you can always go back.

you can get rid of a lot of apps and all of the audio stuff but leave at least one in each audio folder.

I delete all apps I don't use. plus I don't install gapps either, sideload all future apps/games for me. full install for me is 32 in apps folder including setcpu and zeam. I could take out a bunch more but I use them. some apps are mandatory. im not gonna help you more than that. trial and error is the way I learned. slim down then flash it. no fc's or errors your golden. :good: if you get fc's then youll have to add back something? barebones rom has great battery life (12+hrs) and has a few drawbacks (no market).

but don't expect wizardknight to help you when you molest his rom. (your the tester now)

his rom "GBX_3.4.26.13_Full" is pretty bullet proof. I use it everyday all day.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wizardknight:
I made a lite rom around 3.4.15, but it had all kinds of mixed issues with the alternative launchers, so I stopped making them as I didn't want to invest the time to nail down each persons issue.

Here it is if you want to try it out. It is not 100% stripped down, but it is close.

You can install it, and then install the newest kernel patch. The only big thing you might miss out on is some Bluetooth stability tweaks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Stijnjits:
How can I flash the new kernel to my phone? I'm currently still running 3.4.26.

I tried following the instructions from the tutorial which gave me Android on this phone, but I'm stuck at getting into fastboot.

I can adb into the phone, but Fastboot doesn't detect any devices.

I tried connecting the phone through USB, and then inserting the battery hoping it would go into fastboot, but it didn't. It doesn't show up on the computer when I do that.

In short: "adb devices" => I see that the phone is connected

"fastboot devices" => I don't see the phone

Commands like "adb reboot recovery" or even "adb reboot" do not seem to work... Any hints?

Here is a handy app for rebooting the phone quickly, and entering into recovery.

I already deleted the apps i dont use and all the media files i dont really care for, but as far as some system files i have no clue about i needed some advice. Ill try your lite rom and see how it works. I have been playing with different roms including acl omgb rom with new kernal update and new ril, it added the functionality of zoom bar with it and its really nice. I also tried your rom and im having lag issues that i havent experienced with OMGB. I also did some minimal gabbs for acl a while back that i still use. I really like your rom and i dont mean any disrespect...on the previous post someone posted that i wouldnt recieve any help from you which i would appreciate but i know that its on your spare time and too many factors to look at. also how hard would it be to patch a kernel for cm7? I know it too much to ask for but there is no wrong in asking? right? thanks for all your hard work, its really appreciate it!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wizardknight:
I don't know what changes our dev made that broke the kernel for use with CM7. I am not the kernel dev. I just pack the kernel to work with the rom, and mod the rom in general.

I doubt it would be super hard to patch it, but I have no devs who want to.

Wow loving your minimal rom so far, no issues here!

@wizardknight one thing though gsensor rotation not working but i can live without
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wizardknight:
Not sure why you are having issues. If you are running the lite version, I am not even going to guess.

Double check the related settings? Try full rom, and see if it works.

Rotation does work on the full version for the Rhod400.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] vzihome:
sorry for the misunderstanding i wasnt complaining just a statement and yes your other full roms work no problem :victory:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wizardknight:
No offense taken. Just saying, now you know why I pulled the lite rom. It doesn't work quite right. Installing another launcher might be a work around.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] vzihome:
i have zeam installed and it doesnt work throughout the whole phone/apps but its no biggie i can slide open phone and it changes rotation
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wizardknight:
You could give lighting launcher a try. I prefer it over zeam. It is a little harder to set up the way I like, but once done it is faster I feel.

I used http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1420264 for a long time.

Compared with it, this is so much smoother, it's a joy.

But I do have 3 problems:

1. it can't find my WLAN here, but it shows all wlans of neighborhood.

Tried to enter name/ppid manually, but it says "out of range" then.

Maybe it's a character I used in the ppid? "Sendezentrum des Wahnsinns" is the name of me wlan. Or can't it handel wpa2?

2. When plugged in for charging while powered off, it will crash after some minutes: LED will switch off and it can't be powered on again, not while plugged in and not when plugged out of charger. I have to plug out the batterie and put it back in to be able to boot it again.

3. I'd like to change the hardware keyboard layout. How do I do that?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wizardknight:
WPA2 works fine on wireless. Try using a name without spaces or special characters.

No one else has reported crashes caused by charging. I have charged the phone while turned off in the past without issue. Perhaps you could charge the phone while it is turned on?

Edit the ramdisk inside of boot.img. The keyboard files are in there.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] CosmicBlue2000:
Strange thing is, it works here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1420264

So something must have been changed from there to here.

This also worked before here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1420264

Perhaps it's because I use a Rhod100_de?

Simple said. I have no idea how, but I'll see, what Google says about it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wizardknight:
Yep. Whole new ROM. That is the old base this one was derived from two generations ago.

RHOD100s are the bastard step children of the RHOD family. Lots of things don't work right on them. That is why it says not to use this rom on them in the first post.

This ROM is no longer being officially supported as noted in the first post.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] CosmicBlue2000:
Okay, so what should I use then instead?

What would you suggest/recommend?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wizardknight:
I think OMGB had some official Rhod100 support, but as I have never had a Rhod100 I don't have any personal experience to draw upon.

Of course it is has not been supported for a long time now.

This was the last rom to get any support.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] CosmicBlue2000:
Sad and true. Still one of the best mobiles out there. I miss a new TouchPro3/Tilt3.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] fortunz:
Me too. Tragically, what HTC intended as the TP3, the HTC 7 Pro, is more obsolete than the TP2 is thanks to xdandroid. I think they took it's poor performance as proof that qwerty is unwanted instead of proof that a brand new immature, and at the time especially, extra locked down, dummy proof OS was especially unsuited to fans of the TP2. So they veer towards streamlining their offerings at the same time Nokia, former king of form factor diversity (including tilting sliders), goes one form factor fits all. It's tragic really.

I still hold out some small hope that Samsung, maker of endless variations of anything they can think of, might happen on the tilting slider formula. They brought back stylii and IR, and I know some folks who would have called that crazy not too long ago.

Does anyone have the 3.4.35 kernel loaded and in use with GSM overseas? I'm down in South America as of a few days ago and while connecting to the local carrier took longer than normal it did connect for voice using my TP2 with sprint and a local SIM I have. A couple times while messing around with it the phone has failed to connect to the local carrier so a reboot was necessary fixing the issue. However I cannot get data to work. I've put it in a usb modem and activated it to check and it works fine. Same SIM worked 3 months ago in the same phone before I installed Android. Tried putting the phone in GSM only mode which hasn't helped. Anyone with experience or suggestions? I'm searching but haven't found anything more recent than a couple years old yet however the search goes on...

So I have installed this with both .45 and .15 on my rhod500. works pretty well but a couple things I am wondering about currently with .17 (seems to work better).

I don't seem to be able to put it to sleep manually. Tried setting the end button to go back then go to sleep but its not doing it, just brings up recent apps.

Another thing is that it turns itself on when charging all by itself. Wondering if there is a way to prevent that?

It also doesn't like waking up very well when connected to usb. usually have to disconnect it and sometimes slide the keyboard out and then back. Is this related to its prox sensor? if so i haven't messed with that fix yet.

Otherwise seems stable so far. Haven't tried bluetooth or its cell radios yet. not currently on a plan with it.

I remembered I'd promised to try to resolve this. The attached RIL is fully patched in every way except for having this one commit reverted: https://gitorious.org/~hyc/xdandroi...mmit/9a0afc90de4b50b88f6dc7f32252a71cb020ce69

I believe this to have been what broke CDMA. (If not, let me know, and I'll attempt to rebuild again, looking through to see what else could have done it).

IF this updated RIL allows CDMA to function again, note that two different RIL update packages should be used:

2013-04-16 - CDMA users (it should also allow GSM, but that GSM may be flaky, which was the problem solved by that commit)

2012-08-15 - GSM users (apparently only allows GSM)

Note that I mean CDMA/GSM NETWORK users, not the model of phone.

ZIP update attached (it is COMPLETELY untested, as I have not been in a CDMA service area for nearly 1 year).

Please do let me know. Other than that one commit, it contains all other committed updates over the much older RIL.

(Note that this is HYC's work, all I did was revert a patch and rebuild, the credit is his)
