[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] CosmicBlue2000:
Thx for all these infos.

Tried LauncherPro and SenseUI now.

Seems LP is more useful while SU looks better.

Perhaps, it is possible to have both? Or even more: I once had the Palm Pre in my hands and I think, the WebOS might also be a useful UI and since it's a kind of Linux too - can it be combined? A little bit of this and a little of that?

So far, there is nothing I miss. All I have to complain about is watching the battery draining in a short time...And that the TP2 doesn't have multitouch.

When I start Android, there is an option "Hardware 3D". On which Smartphones can that be used?

Thanks so far again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] J-Hop2o6:
there will be no point to put LP on top of Sense.. you'll just be wasting more RAM (Sense already uses alot of our limited RAM).. i have Sense in another folder on my SD card (the OS like 2.1, 2.0.1, or Sense is the system.sqsh file).. so if i wanted to keep switching back and froth from 2.1 AOSP and Sense is to keep switching the system.sqsh files.

Anyways.. i have no clue about a webOS port, but i doubt anyone is working on a port.

Depending on use (non-standby), u can get between 4-8 hours on constant use.. also watch app update intervals, screen brightness, radios (eg. wifi, 3G signal), etc.. and yea, no multitouch because of our resistive screen.

since HW3D is not working or buggy right now, keep it unchecked (i think it works for 2.0.1).

i am testing android 2.1 sense, and i have to say its COOL... very smooth, i am concidering an android phone now... but i need keyboard... so i will wait.. great job guys...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] CosmicBlue2000:
The (Hardware)keyboard of the TP2 is operational with 2.1sense.

Where do I send my feedback at?

I found some things which doesn't fit to what's know about the android port for the TP2:

-there is sound. Played Jewel and I was in a silence enviroment. So I heard it. But it's very, very quiet, even with volume at max. (LauncherPro and SenseUI)

-I don't own any other Bluetooth devices, but so far, I could activate BT and scan for others. No crash or so. (LP und SU)

-for beeing no Emulator, it is very slow, very often, there is an input lag. Very often, there is a loading screen (SenseUI)

-Status/Notification LED is out (somewhere I found, that it might be on all the time as for diagnostic purposes.)

-Automatic Date/Time adjustment works well, no adding of time by switching between WM and Android. (someone wrote taht it might happen)

-GSensor can not be calibrated. Says "calibration cancelled/aborted".

Besides that, it just great. Thanks.

Even it's not perfect, it way better than WM6.5 and it will do my every day work from this day on.

I'd like to remove WM6.5 completely and put Adroid on system memory, not on SD card.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] J-Hop2o6:
all of these are know issues.. remember.. THIS IS A PORT.. NOT AN ACTUAL ANDROID PHONE.. so just appluad them for their work and be happy u can play with Android on your TP2.. but ALL the help u will need on your TP2 will be here ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=627997 ).. the question u have will be in the FIRST THREE POSTS.. and if u want it to be faster, add the overclock cpu line in your startup txt.. so READ, SEARCH, THEN ASK QUESTIONS, or u will been flamed for askin questions thats be ask countless times in that thread.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] CosmicBlue2000:
I think you missunderstood me.

I may quote:

NOT WORKING IN THIS BUILD:

* BT

* Sound (in call mic and earpiece work, no ringtones or music)

-I HAVE sound - but it is said to be not working.

-So far, BT works too.

You understand my problem? I want to tell them, that they aren't totally wrong with sound and BT, before they try something totally new and mess it up.

But thanks for reminding me and the warning.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] J-Hop2o6:
the only sound that works is earpiece and mic.. the back speaker still doesn't work.. trust me, we woulda known.. and BT is buggy i think.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] iridium21:
So can you hear a ringtone through the speaker?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] CosmicBlue2000:
I have to admit, I haven't heard a ringtone yet.

I played Jewels and Abduction - in both cases, and I have to admit too, only at these two games - I heard sound effects. The sound when the jewels are "destroyed" and when the cow hits the ground and jumps.

I was sitting alone in a gym, no aircondition, far away from street traffic, no howling wind outside - the nearly perfect silence: I heard my own blood in my ears, my own heartbeat and I played around with my new Android phone (thanks to you) waiting for more people to come to play volleyball. I forgot the time, it ran so fast trying things out. I was sitting there about 45 minutes, so you can say I got used to that silence. And after setting Android up, the way I want it to be, I tried all the games coming with your release and at two of them, I heard these very quiet effects.

I didn't know at that time, that there aren't supposed to be any sounds, and know, after knowing it, I have to admit, there were no other but the sound effects of these two games.

It was like having the ear speaker plugged in, having them put as far away as you can while holding the phone in your hands, putting the volume to about 75% perhaps (I just tried this to have an example, but it's way to loud around here.

All for sure, I had no ear speakers plugged in then, they were on my desk at home.

I try it again, as soon as I can.

I have one word for you...."GOOGLE"

When the largest entity on the net is backing a project you can bet it will advance fast, plus, Windows was never big in the Mobile market. They always took a backseat to RIM/Blackberry, and now Apple, and even Android as we speak is on the verge of surpassing them....so...eat it!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] joebob23:
Can you even compare Linux vs Window and Android vs windows mobile? It's like comparing apples and oranges. Linux was a complicated os to install and operate, where as android is just a simple phone os.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Hamsteriel:
Well, yeah, you can. Android is built on a Linux Kernel. Also, it really isn't that difficult. When OLPC first began it's initiative, they went to different South American and African countries to determine which OS was the easiest to use. Sugar won hands down over and over, just to cite one example.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Joe USer:
Actually Windows Mobile was by far the most dominant mobile OS, surpassing RIM until mid 2008 and Apple until mid 2009, but they've been in free-fall since 2008.

Hey peeps

this whole thread has become quite a lot to read, hence why I will just ask:

is it possible to install android on the touch pro2 as dualboot with Windows Mobile 6.5? I'd love to try android on it, but if I don't like it I will still be able to use WM :P

can somebody help me with this?

Might be a dumb question but I am pretty new at all this.

Is it possible to sync my phone (while it is running android) to my pc? I want to get my contacts, emails and calendar on the device , so I can switch between operating systems and have the info on both?

I have everything synced on my winmo operating system and when i plug in my device while android is running nothing happens?

Ultimately would love to sync wireless over exchange, if it can be done...

Thanks in advance

I've just put android on my touch pro 2 and had a quick question for you guys.

I've noticed that the status light is always on and blinks irregularly between orange and green even in standby mode and when there are no new email/messages. Is this normal?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gehzumteufel:
Yes, this has to do with sleep mode. Unless something has changed (I haven't been in this aspect for a few months now that I have a real Android device) since I got a new phone, this is still the case.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nvzblity:

Is it possible to upload and use a custom ringtone (e.g. an mpg file) on android? If so, how do I go about doing this?

I've googled but the directions are typically for those wanting a custom ringtone on the original windows mobile and not on the android on a touch pro 2.

I was having the same problem and found this solution somewhere in another top. Since the power button on top and the end key do the same thing, you could load spare parts and set the end key to go to home instead of end.

You gotta read up all the latest threads to get the right files loaded in the right spots so everything runs well, disable all the visual enhancements once you are in Andriod and that helps speed things up a bit as well.

You have to run Spare Tools and set the End Key to Home (i think it's Home and Lock or Home and End or something like that). Then your end will go to the home screen on one press and lock on the second press

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ivanmmj:
Linux only took years to establish itself because Microsoft already had a large market share. If you have an option between buying an OS that is compatible with all the software you have (software made for windows) and buying an OS that isn't directly compatible with your software (because it's a software that wasn't made for linux). Do you a: Go for the compatible. or b: start from scratch.

If anything, in many ways windows has years to catch up with linux. But, as far as OUT OF THE BOX ease of use, Windows has always been on top.

Now, that being said: Windows Mobile is NOT Windows. It's related, but more in a distant "my second cousin's step sister" kind of way.

The UI in Android, in my opinion, it much much easier to use and more intuitive. As far as apps go, Windows Mobile has been around for a long time, so it has a larger software base. (Not that Android has a small one, it has a massive one, as well.)

I have phones with both OS's and I like both for different reasons. I don't think we need to bash one OS over another. Are you experienced with both? (And I mean experienced, not "I installed Red hat in 1999 on a pc.") Are you biased towards a particular OS? (Many people are. You can't help that.)

EDIT: Hero is not a platform. The Sense UI is just the newest version of TouchFLO3D. In fact, it's coming to Windows Mobile as well.

If you want to run Android as a primary OS, you'll need to get a dedicated Android handset like G1, Magic or Hero.

So far people have been able to get Android to boot on various devices, but with limited functionality. I was hopeful for my Kaiser, and HD, but development never seems to get very far.

Well, the sense UI may not even work with current gen phones (The official HTC windows mobile version that is) and as far as the android version, only time will tell.

But one thing will hold true. The touch pro 2 is a great device, and with its massive launch with almost every US carrier plus the global market. There will be MANY people out there using, hacking, modifiying, and upgrading one. So the dev community on here will only grow larger.

I apologize for rezing an old thread, but I have some interesting information to impart.

I am a TMO employee and we had an HTC rep over the other day talking about the Touch Pro 2. She said that HTC has an Android version for the TP2 but they are not releasing it because of TMO's release of the MyTouch 3G.

Should someone write a version for the TP2, I would be happy to get my hands on one and test functionality.

I may run into some more information, and if I do, I will be glad to impart it upon you all.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ivanmmj:
The Wing-Linux project has been slowly but steadily porting Android to Omap850 phones. They've gotten pretty far (only started a few months ago with only ONE major coder.) Originally meant for the Tmobile Wing, now it runs on almost all Omap850 phones. It runs at decent speeds (due to compcache compressing RAM), bluetooth works, network works, data works, can make calls and although you can be heard, you can't hear the person on the other line, yet. But considering they JUST started working on it a few months ago, they've gotten pretty far. Eventually, we might even cook android directly into the phone. The problem is making drivers from scratch, without having all the information about the hardware that HTC would have.

arent the internals of the touch pro 2 forthe most part the same as the G1? Camera, processor etc?
