I downloaded the megaupload file off post #1 and put on my sd card. During Haret startup it says CDMA found message. But once in Android it does not show the recognition of the Sprint network. When using the phone dialer, dialing a number and hitting TALK it shows no network.

Does anyone else have this issue? Or perhaps have a suggestion in getting it to work.

Thanks

cadfael(ppcgeeks.com) mentioned: needed to go into the Android settings phone options to have it join/discover the cell network

So I am testing now.

Great it worked. Although finding the correct area to join the network was a little difficult. You go into settings wireless/network, go to the bottom selection (sorry can't remember name) and then choose automatic ???? I did also turn off the data roaming. Not sure if it made any difference in discovering the network, but the automatic search did connect to the network. Icon on the top does not change when connected.

I also started a voice call before starting haret. The voice calls worked perfect, both microphone and internal speakers worked.

Holding hang-up / power-off, also worked perfect.

Thanks so much Civic for getting us that much closer to a usable Android port.

I am on Verizon and I am having the same problem. With Verizon do you still need to dial a call before loading android?

nvm. it just started working. no idea how but it works. nice job
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Airhead315:
This is definitely the best build I have found yet for the CDMA Rhodium. It seemed no matter what configuration I used I encountered 3 major flaws with general functionality:

1. Strange process errors

2. Network not available when trying to call

3. Dialer painfully slow to the point where its almost unusable.

This build seems to have alleviated all of those issues!

The features I am most interested in (prioritized) next are:

SMS

Data

MMS

G-Sensor

WiFi(I very seldom use WiFi)

Keyboard Backlight

One thing people should know is that after you boot android you should go through the initial configuration then let it sit for a minute or so. It tends to run a heck of a lot faster a couple minutes in than at the beginning.

One other suggestion I might make is that instead of having the screen rotate when the stylus is pulled maybe we can use a different button to make that happen? How about the speakerphone mute button on the back of the phone? That way we get to use the stylus is portait mode if we want :-P

Regardless this is great work!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cflynt:
Is definitely a heck of a lot faster responding than any other build. Yes as all have mentioned, when the day that comes and we can use data it will be sweet. But even before then as mentioned before this reply, if we could get SMS working once the bugs get worked out on the MIC/Speaker stuff then it would be very usable. I have to be able to get alarms from work heh. But thanks so much for all your efforts thus far. You are doing a wonderful job. Can't wait for the next build.

Edit: Wanted to comment, it is much speedier on next boot. Also, after shutting down and rebooting into WM and making the phone call to make speaker work, I never have had to select my carrier, I am on Sprint, it works out of the box. On the notification bar it says (No Service) Sprint, but it still works.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] craiggiarc:
Here's my feedback on the latest build.

After the initial install the response times are great. I still need to be on a call while starting the Harat.exe to be able to use the phone to make calls.

The hard key mappings all work but if I'm only a call where I need to use the keypad that doesn't work.

Great work though Civic, keep it up and I look forward to getting Data, SMS, GPS, Camera etc... all to work. :-)

PS. It also states (No Service) and Vodafone NL on my home page where as I'm actually on Verizon in the US, not sure if that's relevant!

Civic, I don't know very much about how all of this works, but have you seen the release over here for topaz? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3695364

They seem to have wifi working, maybe there's something different about the wifi drivers for the topaz and the rhodium, but would it be difficult to implement that into the builds you're putting up?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] mxxcon:
there is and that's why rhod's wifi is so problematic.

Preachy Soap Box

I'm just gonna throw this out there.

Pretty sure civic knows more than we do.

If there is one thing that is for sure about the software hardware relationship, its that the software make full use of the hardware. The developers know this. The fact that they are allowing us to download prebuilds carte blanch is SO generous.

Lets not clog the forum with questions like "is there anyway to make my car go faster, get better gas mileage and be safer?". They know the end key isn't working.

There has got to be a reason that these guys are putting a lot of man hours of expertise into an OS that will be usable for a year, maybe two. If there is a market for an Android phone with a keyboard, HTC will sell one. They are pretty much the founders of the feast here, making their phones in a way that allows this much after market development.

I'm still in awe at the expertise that is given away freely around here. So kudos and much thanks.

CDMA Data

I work a lot with PST programs that allow us to provision phones' settings in minute detail. I wonder if Android simply needs to be programmed with the data username and password for the carrier? Users would need their 6 digit sublock code undoubtedly, but maybe there is a way on Android? I am pretty new to this, so forgive me if I say something that is already known. On USCC, the username is the MSID@uscc.net and the pass is the MSID.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] unstable357:
I installed the latest update and notice that when you go to change the wallpaper is doesnt change anymore like in the last update...

Just thought I would put that out there. Other than that keep up the good work fellas

Also...

Mancer70 may have a good point by mentioning the USCC cause when i tried to manual program the phone (just to see what will happen you know, (##msl#)) the phone just went back to the dial pad...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] therealdrunk:
It seems like it's still using GSM for data... Which means if you have the unlocked radio on the Rhodi from Sprint, you might just get data working ;)

I'll try it when I get to an AT&T store to pick up a SIM.

Great work civic. Please let me know if i can help with anything. Any thoughts of posting on ppcgeeks also, you might get more support/interest since it is the larger CDMA forum. I will donate some money as soon as i get some!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] mancer70:
Does anyone know if there is a PST for Android or HTC phones? I'm happy to test it on my phone to see if the phone's provisioning is all that's keeping it from accessing the network properly. I thought about using a standard Qualcomm PST, but that will only work for the Windows side as is. I'm trying to access the provisioning with ##MSL# now to see if there's anything there. Mine is on US Cellular with no SIM Card present in the phone so it is forcing CDMA.

Edit: ##MSL# does nothing and will not open phone's provisioning.

Edit: Actually, I am not sure if the provisioning menu is even installed. When you go into "About Phone" in settings, there is no profile option so this may be part of the problem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lizardpro:
Every time I boot is seems to be in GSM mode. I tried force_cdma=1 in the srartup.txt and it shows “CDMA radio found” During boot but it only shows ATT on the network list. Is anyone else having that problem? My gsm radio is unlocked.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Ludacrisvp:
I have been messing around with the adb logcat on the droid again. this time I remembered to send and receive a couple of SMS messages to see if the wat they are sent will help us in CDMA for SMS. I will post this in the main Topaz thread too. SMS sending and receiving is near the end of the log file... just search for SMS.

Boots up really quick and runs well. Can't make calls though, only gives me the T-Mobile and AT&T networks as options. Love the potential though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] fr0st420:
Boots up fast but only goes into GSM mode. I think it's due to having my SIM unlocked. I tried booting with SIM card out still won't connect to Sprint. Good work so far.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] mobius999:
Also showing CDMA at boot and then getting GSM. Keeps looking to the sim. Removed that, didn't solve anything. Then again, I've always had bad luck. Even after making a call before booting I never get sound to work on mine, tried the last 2 builds with no luck.

GSM default fix?

Im no genius and by no means am i a developer, I am a sprint employee and was intrigued by the idea of running Android on a Touch Pro 2. My only question is (and this may be incredibly stupid for those of you in the know). But might the fix for the GSM default dilemma be to try running the CDMA hero software on the phone. This I would assume is designed to run on CDMA while the Nexxus software that I assume we try to be running is designed for T-Mobile's GSM network. Like I said I don't know if this would be a fix but figured I would throw it out there. Thank you for all that you guys do, I have been reaping the benefits of your hard wark since my Mogul!!!! And if you folks have any Sprint questions I am more than happy to help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] exSD:
Is there a tutorial out there for how to install this with a dual boot option? I'm weary because I'm scared to brick my phone.

I'm on a Sprint TP2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] abrigham:
This is not a ROM flash, so there's no risk of bricking your phone. It uses haret, which is basically a boot loader that runs inside WinMo to temporarily unload WinMo from memory and boot to Android. All you have to do is soft reset to get back to WinMo.

All you have to do is unzip the files to the root of your storage card and then run Haret.exe from the card.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] abrigham:
Civic - not sure if this has been mentioned just yet, but Makkonen over on PPCGeeks has managed to get CDMA data working on the TP1. I know that both phones use similar CDMA chipsets so I was wondering if any of his advances in that regard could be of assistance on the TP2...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] abrigham:
Ok, just tried the latest and I'm getting pretty much the same as others have mentioned. It seems to be wanting to run in GSM mode. I'm using the stock Sprint radio so although the phone is SIM unlocked, I can't use a US-based GSM network at all. It doesn't even detect a CDMA network, I just get "No Service" and "No SIM" messages. I also tried the "force_cdma=1" option with no luck as others have reported.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] obrienmd:
95civic, does the open source release of the Hero stuff help you? I know they're not the "same hardware", but the processors are very similar, do these qualcomm SoCs also provide the wifi interface?

Also, perhaps the CDMA data setup in the Hero source could help, given you have the TP2 CDMA radio itself working?

I'm probably overstepping - you know way more about this stuff than I :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] mxxcon:
you are wrong. if you'll read threads on other phone forums you'll see that they post warning about reported malfunctioning phones with haret. the only way to fix that was hard reset
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] mxxcon:
Hero uses different hardware from our phone. you can't just take its drivers and kernel modules and run it on our phone.

And we are not running Nexus(correct spelling with 1 x) software. whoever put together this build just used Nexus' splash screen and pictures. we are still running "generic" android 2.0

I got my TP2 as a replacement from sprint, and I dont have a SIM card.

When I load Android, which works fine, I have no CDMA network connection. Am I missing something, does Android require the SIM card for CDMA? This seems odd, but maybe I am doing something wrong... how can I get the phone/data parts to work without a SIM card?

Thanks!

I was sick of haret uglying up my start menu, so I used reshacker to swap the icon with one of my own making. Figured I'd share in case anybody else is interested.

The exe now contains 16x16, 32x32, and 64x64 icons, so it should look pretty good on most devices. Just extract haret.zip to your storage card, replacing the existing executable.

For WM6.5 users, I created a cab that will also install a 90x90 png along with a start menu shorcut and the appropriate registry entries. Enjoy!

Just installed the dual boot with this latest version of Android on my TP2 Sprint phone. All I have to say is AMAZING! The boot loaded Android is superior in EVERY WAY to Windows Mobile... either the stock rom or one of the other hacked roms. I purchased this phone so that I could keep my SERO plan with the hope that Android would eventually be ported. I CANNOT WAIT until voice and data properly work! Android is so snappy on this build. It really shows how much better this phone can be with a proper OS and how much Windows Mobile sucks. I can't wait to have a proper interface for checking my gmail and google calendar!

Hi all, I'm using dual boot and this ROM but the speaker doesn't work for calls. I see some people post that the speaker doesn't work until Initial Call is used but I haven't been able to find information about Initial Call.

Verizon not working

I am in the same boat but way south. There are 4 verizon towers around where I live. There are also a few gsm towers. When I search for a network, it only shows the 2 gsm networks and gives me the sim error. What's really funny is that this area is 90% verizon. At&T works like crap here.

Any solution?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wabbster:
working Verzion but no Speaker

Finally got it working. I can make and recieve calls but the speaker is not working. I can't hear anything on the phone. The other caller can hear me fine.

Any ideas?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] matthewb57:
You should still post a solution for what you did so others are aware.

I think I had the same problem and it was something to do with files remaining in an "Android" folder on the SD card. Wipe them out, and start fresh was the solution I recall. Anything you can add will help others.

Known issues with my quick tests

As for issues with the build, I can also confirm that:

1) the earpiece speaker does not work unless you activate a phone call before running HaRET (call your voicemail, then run HaRET while still connected).

2) Network connection: I am able to connect to a network by going into Settings > Wireless & network settings > Mobile networks > Network operators and choosing "Select Automatically" after it searches for a network (I am in Canada running on Telus' network)

3) Unable to use text, wifi, bluetooth, data, which is understood to not be working at this point anyways. Also sound is not working, nor gsensor, etc. This again is known to be in the works and not expected to work at this time.

4) Taskbar at top indicates "no service" even though it does in fact have phone service.

5) When ending a call, I notice it gives an error message stating "No SIM, or SIM error" (I assume this is because the build is based on a GSM build)

6) Screen Timeout: The screen "blacks" out after the timeout as expected, except it is not actually "off" like it should be. It's simply a black screen saver (still power to the screen).

7) Buttons seem to work as expected (volume up/down, call, menu, back, end, "stand by")

8) Screen does in fact go into landscape mode as stylus is removed which is how it is supposed to act at this point until the gsensor works properly.

Anyways, good work to start with. Looking forward to seeing progress on this. How do we donate to a project like this?

Also, I have some experience with Linux and compiling kernel's with different options and such. Is there a good user guide or somewhere I should start to look into on how to configure the Android system to work properly with these phones?

Thanks
