Hah mine lasted the whole time before I sold it!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ivanmmj:
The Wing didn't break, it was replaced by Tmobile when I thought there was something wrong with it, but there wasn't.... and they still replaced it just to make sure.

The MDA just had random problems.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gehzumteufel:
heh well I am glad I am on a TP2 now. **** rocks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cdguider:
I here that man

Touch Pro 2 All day
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gehzumteufel:
Couldn't agree more. I really love this device. I haven't even had it 2 weeks and I am on my 3rd flash. Flashed the HTC radio update too. Will let people know how it is in a few days.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] khtims:
Haret.exe??

So I see a lot of Haret.exe files that say it will load Android on windows mobile. Will the file for the original Touch Pro work for the Touch Pro 2? It seems to be working fine on that phone from what I've heard.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] biscuits1978:
I would assume it wouldn't since the Touch Pro has more front buttons that the TP2 does. Maybe, if anything, a port that would work on the Blackstone would be the best starting point.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] khtims:
So has anyone had any luck with android on TP2? I am very anxious to run some android apps on my phone and have the best of both worlds!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] deekjx:
I don't believe this project has any devs right now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sirajsalim:
Agreed, the missing d-pad on tp2 is a drawback for android being on board
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] kable:
The G1 does not have a DPAD, just a useless trackball which isn't mandatory for anything on android. Otherwise it has the exact same buttons the the TP2 has on it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] AndroTMO:
Sorry for taking so long, I am back.

Not really any new info other than the usual rumours trending about the device.

ATT is supposedly launching the TP2 as the HTC Fortress. Perhaps the fact that two major carriers will have it will spur some development.

I am not a coder, but I am saving up some cash to get a TP2. I am willing to load an experimental build if someone will code it.

Here's hoping.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] what150:
Yeah I'm looking forward to use Android sense UI on my T-mobile TP2 as well.

That's CRAZYYY !!! :)

..........
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bmore1380:
ive been looking for people who are into this i also believe that porting android to the TP2 would be really nice just to show the power the phone has i own one and love it myself its nice a smooth i have no problems with WM but Android is really nice i owned a g1 and loved it im looking forward to seeing a android rom working on the TP2 when there is one avaliable im willing to test it myself
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] superg05:
number 1 has a port start from there

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uH-VLYX0d68
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobdude5:
Anyone see this??

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9edOQjrqag&feature=related

they have full sense ui on htc nike! wtf man!..i will pay someone to port this for touch pro2! i want the pro2 soooo bad..but i dont want to leave android sense...it is sooooo smoooth on that phone
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Untouchab1e:
I cant really see why Android isnt booting on the Touch pro 2 already considering how well it runs on the Touch Pro atm. Power management, sound and data just got working and the hardware is pretty much identical! Hopefully, I will manage to convince cr2 and the others to give it a look ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Greyfoxzero:
I wonder??

With the higher resolution screen i wonder how that would affect apps and games. It might just slow games down too much but then again android seems to actually support the graphics chip well so maybe not such an issue.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] moSess:
This would be great...:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobdude5:
how come nobody wants to do it :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] biscuits1978:
I don't think 'nobody' wants to do it, we're waiting on more Android developers to get TP2s to get it working on our phones! I think some valid points have been made, especially making the TP port work on the TP2 since most of the hardware is the same (except display and other things).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gilgalad1138:
Well, with the news that Donut (1.6) will be supporting more screen resolutions and different screen sizes, it should be easier... right?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jriley60:
someone needs to bump this. so i will. winblows mobile sucks compared to android royally
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] biscuits1978:
Has anyone just 'tried' the Raphael port of Android? I'd imagine it should somewhat work since the hardware is almost the same as the Rhodium.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bonevbs:
natively

hmm... will there be a bootloader which boots it ? I hate it having to run haret.exe after booting winmo... My phone need to be avaiable a few seconds after i turn it on... :(

I just hope someone will write a bootloader for the TP2
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] moos:
haret doesn't seem to work on my touch pro 2..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] oltp:
yes I did and it doesn't work out of the box. It runs on my Diamond but for the Rhodium someone needs to correct the startup file. Haret will start you'll see the screen change a little and that's about it. It won't bring you into booting Linux and further. You can easily try it yourself...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] biscuits1978:
I'll give it a shot. I also have a copy of a working port for the Kaiser I'll give a shot as well. I don't suppose it's gonna hurt anything...at least I hope...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gehzumteufel:
I doubt this will ever happen. Although, now that Donut is close to finalisation, Android will finally be on higher resolution screens.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sgmbest12321:
Pin this thread

Because of the huge amount of interest in this topic, could a mod pin this thread to signify that this should be the default thread for the android porting efforts.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] moos:
Does haret work on WM 6.1? I'd love to test and work it all out.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] biscuits1978:
Haret does work on 6.1. It worked for me on my Kaiser on 6.1 and 6.5.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gehzumteufel:
Haret will run on pretty much all WinCE devices I would think.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobdude5:
Donut on the rhodium will be a lot easier to port because of its support for whatever resolution screens
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gehzumteufel:
Very true. Too bad the biggest issue is drivers.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] lnoormohamed:
please is there a way to have windows 6.1 and android on the tp2 i am getting very board of of winmo is there a way to get to work on storage card?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bargsbeer:
someone should setup a donation account for the developers. I know I would certainly donate money to the cause.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] lnoormohamed:
yes i would donate some money tooo

i wish i did purchase the htc hero now it would of saved me about a £120 and i would of liked the OS but the only reason i went for the tp2 is the qwerty keyboard but all pros do come with cons e.g. winmo 6.1
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Rickmasta:
I'd donate too. I would love to run andriod until 6.5 is officailly released.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cr2:
please run haret and find out the framebuffer address used by wince.

On topaz it's 0x15100780, probably the same for you too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nex7er:
Time to get started on a Rhodium port. CR2_ seems to be out of things to do today so he shot me a pointer to get the fbaddr.

Slow downloads, though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] biscuits1978:
Could you tell us how to do this? I have a copy of Haret I can do this in a jiffy (unless I need something else along with Haret to do this)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobdude5:
So does that mean your going to start the port ?

please say yes
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nex7er:
That's as far as I'm getting. Thanks a bunch to Mr. CR2. Much love.

EDIT ADD: fbaddr is 15100780, same as Topaz. With this, you'll be able to make HaRET boot.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ivanmmj:
The team of Wing-Linux created a patch for the Omap850 kernel that automatically detects the framebuffer address and the framebuffer info. That's how we got the kernel to support EVERY Omap850 based device. (Even within the Herald, there are about 4 variations.)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nex7er:
Rhodium is not omap.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cr2:
Haret should create the

ATAG_VIDEOLFB , then these problems will go away.

Are you parsing the ATAG_VIDEOLFB in omap850 ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] saymyname:
i will donate too i really want to see the android workin on my phone
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] intothevoid:
I would love this also.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nex7er:
Changing MSM_LINUX_SIZE from 0x59 to 51 as well as turning off 3D HW and ADSP, did not work.

First tip from CR2 I've gotten that did not work. An amazing feat! Haha. Can't wait to know more later. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] chasy:
i'm really looking forward to an android port to tp2 :)

that would be amazing .. since the x3 is coming with new android .. i think a port in near future is realistic :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gtsili:
I would more than love to be able to boot android or any Linux on my TP2. And yes, I would definitely donate some money to see this happen. Actually from this thread and others similar threads, I believe that there are a lot of TP2 owners who will donate. Buying 1 or 2 devices for developers to work with is not really going to be a problem even if 1/3 of the people that said "yes" in this survey donate a few dollars/euros/pounds. Can somebody please arrange that?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] patzkata:
Hello,

I thing that this is my first post here, but I'm reading the forum for a long time.

I'm really interested to have Android OS on my HTC TP2

I already tried the "raphael" android edition, but without success

So it's no problem for me, to give you any information, or testing the first TP2 Android beta versions on my HTC TP2 and report after that

So if someone of the developers need something and I could help, just wright to me.

Regards,

patzkata
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] SooooneR:
Im in on this...

I would deff donate on this project! I hope someone will take an interest to this and make it happen. I would love 1.6 on my touch pro 2!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sparklehedgehog:
We would pay £50!!!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get Android on the Touch Pro 2 asap and the first developer to get it working properly and bug free will guarantee a shed load of cash coming in. You could charge £50 each and you'd make a fortune!!!

We'll pay your first donation once it's done, no hesitation!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fuzalert2k:
What are you guys babbling about? At this point donations won't do anything. We need to find adequate developers who are capable of porting android first.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gehzumteufel:
Uhh, I am sure a bounty will bring adequate developers.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] aamir16:
Hey guys, I tried using the port for the blackstone as well as the touch pro. The zImage is the only thing that seems to need some sort of modification. The default.txt values as defined by http://www.androidonhtc.com/boot_options do NOT work for the TP2. If someone can figure out the right values for the resolution i think we can get this port.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] djcslice:
I just picked up my tp2 and am really interested in a port to android. From the sounds of it, no one is porting android to this handset yet. Is that the case? Are people just waiting for 1.6 to come out?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] obrienmd:
Looks like 1.6 is available - Should be a boon to two groups: WVGA users, and CDMA users... Works for me, Sprint TP2 here!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] biscuits1978:
So you managed to get 1.6 to work on your Sprint TP2? Could you let us know how?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bmore1380:
if you got 1.6 to work TP2 please let us know how im dying to try this out please
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] solevi:
Links please! 1.6 for which device did you tried? And please more details.

Thank you!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cr2:
Can somebody dump the rhod100 SMEM area in haret ?

pwf rhod100smem 0x01f00000 0x100000

I have this dump from topa100 and want to be sure that it's the same as on rhod100
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thos_thom:
I have that if you'd like it. Contact me and I'll mail it over.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gehzumteufel:
Just post it in here.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thos_thom:
File is attached.

I'm new around here, I hope I can help out with this port.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nemo0405:
tried all of the bootloadres using haret.exe from HTC HD and Diamond 2 but none booted up...just kept on freezing my Touch Peo 2...if someone can get a bootloader or something to boot from haret or anything ill be more then happy to test it on my phone:) :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] obrienmd:
I'm an idiot... Let me clarify:

"Works for me, Sprint TP2 here" = "The idea that I could soon run Android on my Sprint TP2 is exciting"

Sorry to get hopes up!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MustangChris04:
Is there any information about whats going on with the port, and what has been completed and whats not?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] InGeNeTiCs:
Oh android....

I'm all for progress, but really, why android on the TP2? I just recently went back to windows mobile from a week shy of 1 year with android as my ONLY device. And it wasn't really all that good.

First of all, their flagship device, the g1, sucks balls. Royally. And there isn't a single person here that can convince me otherwise. The build quality is just terrible. From the moment I took it out of the box, it squeeked. The screen felt dangerously loose while using the keyboard, and I've never dropped my phone.

Performance wise, it was totally underpowered. It was underclocked(most likely to save battery), and had very little memory to work with. These two factors made multitasking(the main selling point) almost unbearable. Transitions were slow, the keyboard is slow, everything about it is slow.

On the software side, what was supposed to be a huge industry breakthrough, turned out to be the biggest magnet for bull**** apps I've ever seen. Who needs a soundboard for everything? Pasting sound clips over a picture doesn't make you a developer!! Good god! Granted, there were a handful of decent apps out there, but I had to sift through hundreds of crap ones before I found something actually useful. This is due in part to google's approval process, but man, it's painful browsing for apps on android.

And what about implementation? Google sync is good, but I need exchange. This is a personal thing, obviously, but why couldn't it have been there to begin with? I jumped from rom to rom trying to get the best blend of form and functionality and I never found exactly what I was looking for. I could have full exchange sync, but I didn't have the htc dialer...I could have the htc dialer, but the rom would be slow. Then you have to deal with all the stupid extra stuff like app2sd and ext2 ext3 blah blah blah...this shouldn't be necessary on a phone.

Let's be realistic here for a second. I'm 26, I'm a guy. I play video games, I check out girls, I drink beer. I'm a very normal person. However, I do own a small IT business and I need my phone to work as a business device when I need it to. That doesn't mean I'm not willing to tinker with it for weeks getting it just right, but why should I have to completely reprogram the OS just to do that?

I think to summarize, android os is cool, and I'm going to keep my g1 so I can see the OS progress over time. HOWEVER, I don't think -at this time- that android is even worth the trouble to port. If people here are looking to port it just so they can check it out, just download the android sdk from google, it's got an emulator. You're really not missing out. Remember, this os has only been out in the public sector for about a year. It needs time to mature.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gehzumteufel:
I am alright with your viewpoint on Android, except for one thing. The bull**** app magnet. Of course you will have **** apps, but I can tell you, the iPhone is the bull**** app magnet of them all.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cr2:
It means that you have invested heavily into microsoft way of life

and feel uncomfortable if something has reasonable chances to push it aside. I'm not a big fan of android as OS, and i agree that the "android" hardware is bad compared to "wince" hardware. The main task to make android run on a phone is

to boot linux kernel and provide the necessary kernel interfaces.

Therefore i work on booting linux on better (i.e. "wince") HTC hardware.

linux+android on raphael and diamond is already at a very advanced stage,

so expect reasonable linux support for topaz/rhodium soon.

Since i don't have either of them as physical device,

and no technically qualified testers that can help me,

things are happening slower.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dancnpete:
If by way of life you mean freedom of customization, I agree totally. I want all the oses ported over to one another. The reason I bought the TP2 was because of the ability to change the experience. The chance to change it into an android if I want exemplifies that. The other reason though is the variety of form factors, I love slide out landscape keyboards, anything else just feels cramped to me, So I'm interested in ports of all the oses that support it including maemo, symbian, and android. It is only better for communities.

However I do hope the developers take another look at winphone because it's not so much the os that needed a facelift but the graphic models that developers were using.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Aragonath:
hey guys

i think this is my first post here.

im gonna buy a new phone in a month, and i'm stuck between hero and pro2, and the only reason i like hero, is android. if i know that u could, someday, port android to pro2, i will buy pro2 with no doubt...

but do u think this will ever happen?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nex7er:
Well I've been away for some time and I haven't been able to aid CR2 (since I actually have a Pro 2 while, iirc, he doesn't). I actually got some pointers from an experienced Linux dev when I was at a conference with most computer and TV manufacturers here in Norway (job), but damned if I remember anything.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gehzumteufel:
I would be willing to help as much as possible. I have used Linux a good amount, so am relatively familiar with things. If you want to PM me or something and exchange IM screennames or something, I am willing to help as much as possible.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gtsili:
I am also willing to help. I am a Linux user for more than 10 years now and a programmer, even though I have no experience coding OSs and drivers.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sidekraouf95:
Please let me know if it is possible to have Android OS on the HTC Touch Pro 2...

A new rom ??? please ... :-) Ultimate Android Touch Pro 2 rom.. :-)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] soundslikemitch:
I am willing to lend my services to testing. I don't enough to code from scratch but I think I should be able to help test. I have been using Ubuntu for 4+ years.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] djcslice:
I just checked the specs on HTC's site the processor for the Hero is the 7600 series. I would think this would make a Hero port to the sprint Touch Pro 2 a bit easier. I would really like to get this moving along if possible. If there is anything I can do, let me know. I do own a touch pro 2 on sprint so I can do some testing.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] WenWM:
Yap it doesnt seem like Wvga phones are getting much Android love, but VGA is getting alot like My TP1 and stuff, but the TP2 isnt even started as far as i know
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cuda1337:
I am getting a TP2 for T-mobile pretty shortly here. Just waiting on its arrival. I REALLY wish there was an android port for this phone. Hardware wise the phone is phenomenal, I'm just worried about the software. Android rocks so hard. I just want it for the TP2 :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] NexVision:
It is being worked on just not everyday.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gehzumteufel:
Is there another thread where development is focused?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MrGoodCat:
take a gander here

http://www.androidonhtc.com/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gehzumteufel:
Yeah that is of no real help unfortunately. No real info other than how to build the kernel.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cr2:
Get the latest version from android.ppckitchen.org, crash and dump the

ramconsole buffer.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cuda1337:
Yep, unfortunately there isn't much there.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gehzumteufel:
How do I dump the buffer? What if I can't type anything? It does't get to a prompt.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cr2:
Check the linux for topaz thread.

I have compiled a newer version (20091015-1), please try it instead.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] iceman4357:
why not just use SPB mobile shell3.5?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] biscuits1978:
For the same reason why they don't want to just use TF3D, or Titanium, or HTC Home, or ThrottleLauncher, etc.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cyw00d:
