wow i dont even get five hour use of android when i boot it. maybe you can tell me on these secrets that can get me 8 hour use of android on the tilt 2
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] zuch0698o:
i have the t mobile version and the easiest thing is to check task killer upon boot up it shows almost all applications running just end the tasks and your good to go. also noted a flaw in android where no apps terminate upon exit must shut them down manually in task killer.....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pieteckhart:
i never understood why they all need to be running on boot. correct me if i'm wrong but i remember this not being the case in earlier releases?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] zuch0698o:
not to sure of earlier releases and your are correct it isn't necessary. on a native device nothing boots up but the os and the interface <not counting background items>. so these can be killed upon bootup and the device will still have the same notifications as well as being a bit faster.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pieteckhart:
so can we conclude that this is some kind of bug without devs screaming it's a feature? ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] zuch0698o:
without any shadow of a doubt its a bug. i think its a mem leak of sorts but i don't have the time check with a full time job and full time school and a full time girlfriend it is somewhere in the boot up that all these apps start and for whatever reason they don't shut back down as they are supposed too...:confused:

:EDIT: android boots the apps to check them in sequence at start up maybe the shut down command is not running correctly is my opinion... also it may be the way we are booting it as well since its meant for a different format of drive vs the fat32 we run it on

Hai, I just got a T-Mo branded touch pro 2, so I'll be lurking around (I've been doing a little work around the Dream parts). Hope I'll be able to help some way. I love this device, but it needs moar native android.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Xodium:
Probably redundant, but I'll post what I've got going on with my Tilt2:

-Screen shuts completely off with the Feb 24th build. Sweet. Takes some trying to get the phone to wake back up though. (I have to press the buttons multiple times for the phone to wake up.)

-USB charging still works.

-Amber light when phone is on, green light when phone is "asleep"

-Carrier still shows up as 'AT&T'@

-Right Arrow key seems to be interpreted as diagonal "upper right".

-WiFi no longer reboots the phone. Just reports "Unsuccessful"

This isn't intended to be a complaint, I'm just trying to help out by pointing out what is/isn't working. a sort of bug report, if you will.

EDIT: Having upgraded from the Feb. 11th build, this is a great step forward. Great work guys!

EDIT2: If there's anything I can help with as far as testing goes, do let me know.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pieteckhart:
I have seen postings about fixed key mappings for Rhod100uk and such.

i tried editing STARTUP.TXT to physkeyboard=rhod100uk (latest build did not had the uk addition to it?)

It still seems to lack some features on my device.

The Shift(Caps) key is used to create special chars like !@ and #, this works great no problem there, but you can't make a question mark because you will get a capital M, using the FN button (like in Windows Mobile) produces just an '@'.

Slap me if this has been discussed before but i feel like i'm missing some vital information.

lol now i can't ask questions in an SMS and there is no way to make smilies with the hardware keyboard because of the ; and : becoming J and K.

Also the known problem with the Dpad isn't solved yet right?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Should just be "Rhod100" -uk. Dpad still is not fixed, you are correct.

Today I got 14 hours on a full charge with light use. Was a little busy, so I didnt have time to be constantly playing with my handset, like i usually am. I noticed a HUGE difference, in battery life when its actually IN standby, and not playing games and texting 24/7. :) I think the newness of Android on our TP2 we are constantly playing with them. Even if we did this with WinMo we would still get close to the same results.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Do a soft reset and see if it shows up after.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] chizzwhizz:
No change in wallpaper. i even went through menu first...any other ideas?

Is their a directory that i can drop my pictures in, and the phone gallery will be able to see them? I only have 2 pictures in my gallery and they are the stock 2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Got root explorer? You could name anything to "default_wallpaper.jpg" and stick it inside of framework-res\res\drawable-hdpi.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Serren:
Maybe the Sense chasers can start their own thread?

I have zero interest in slowing down my phone or the dev's progress by trying to force Sense to work on my TouchPro2. A big flip clock.... that was so last year. :-)

I'm looking forward to testing a new kernel!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
ATTENTION:

I need like 5 big time phone users (lots of talking, preferably in noisy situations, like a car) to test out some new fixes that sovereignty has come up with. In tweaking the in call sound and digging through the code he may very well have figured out a bit of the noise cancellation for the second mic as well. You will only need to update your kernel (zimage/modules) for the fix. Send me some PMs!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] RickoT:
Flakey after a few days

So firstly, I want to thank all the devs that are kicking some serious ass on getting this working. Please take my post as more of an observation and some issue documentation as opposed to any complaints.

Again.. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK!

So for the first few days it worked flawless (considering the few things not working atm) Wifi was great, data worked all the time, I dont have a bluetooth headset so bt issues are no big deal to me and I have a DSLR so the camera is also of no importance. My only big complaint was the reception (Although even with 0 bars it worked, so maybe its just not a valid indication of signal)

Got everything set up the way I wanted it and Away I went. After a day or two I noticed that the following issues

The phone would get slow (even after using advanced task manager to kill tasks) - Also noticed it would be much faster while on a charger or plugged into my PC for charging.

The data connection would randomly stop working

The call radio would randomly stop working

The phone randomly started resetting (Not a full reset, it would just reset android) So far it has only done a full reset once in the week I've been using it.

For both instances where the data connection or the call radio would stop the wireless worked fine or the data worked fine, it was just the one individual piece not the whole radio as a whole which I found odd. Going in and out of flight mode did not resolve the issue for any of these problems, a reboot was necessary.

I hope this helps, I would love to contribute any way I can, please let me know if I can test or run anything that can help you trace down these issues.

Problem with my phone and Android

Hi everybody,

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR WORK!!

I'm having lot of trouble using your ANdorid version on my phone. It's really slow and many of the i've got message like: core xxx process didn't respond wait or kill. I've tried many different version of the ANdroid project but no one resulted usable for more than some minutes. I think i have problem with the version of my phone or i'm missing somithing basic to do before installation.

If someone could help me i would appreciate

Thank you,

I'm using an HTC Touch PRO 2 (italian version).

CPU Qualcomm 7200A

speed 528Mhz

Ram 288MB

Flash 512

RADIO 3.44.25.27
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
The crashes are... well, sometimes more frequent than other times. I'd say Android is slow for me on the first boot for about 5 minutes, then it seems to catch its breath (so to speak...)

You may try deleting the 'data.img' file, or formatting your SD card. Also, what kind of SD are you using? Class 4? Newer? I heard cards older than Class 4 can cause additional slowness, as the entire OS is dependent on the SD card.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] hello00:
If you would have done what I have been telling you what to do..You probably would have wifi working by now..This build is pretty faster than the other one and I'm not even overclocked..I have been using my phone for 6 straight hours and it is at 68%..Also the phone doesn't get hot at all like on previous froyo builds..This one is pretty decent. This screenshot just shows that I have wifi turned on..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] villa15:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] villa15:

Android 2.1 SenseUI. Download this first.

http://reefermattness.scepterr.info/archive/[MJG]Rhod.2.1.Sense.061610.rar ( copy and paste it to your browser's search engine)

Get the latest zImage and module from here

Then download this file and move it to andboot's folder. Delete the one that is in there already.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sovereignty:
Look into the Audio DSP ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Viper Matrix Wireless:
Run the media scanner located in dev tools in the menu then it will show.

Or you can head over to the topaz section & download AOSP & just swap the system.ext2 out & delete your data.img

NOTE: remove the rest of .ext2 filename if u do swap your .ext2 make sure it says only system.ext2 & not that long name.

Correct! much of the code is not the same this is done on purpose to make it harder to crack. Cuz if u run the same code for the drivers on devices with the same hardware etc etc that it becomes easier. Also many devices have like a A, B, C or 1, 2, 3 part these parts are the same w/ modifications.

Video Playback

When I check the Hardware 3D box, I can get videos. This has worked for me in all the builds using both You tube and tv.com. In 2.2 videos only play in low quality mode. If you're using 2.2 uncheck to HQ and they will play.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Viper Matrix Wireless:
Reason for that is software rendering its not actually using 3D at all as it cant work. It will disable the bootup because 3D cant simply be enabled. Theres nothing really display wise by hardware. BTW HQ in Youtube does not work for that reason.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
huh...

Interesting find. Thanks Ill have to give it a shot!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Viper Matrix Wireless:
Checking Hardware 3D doesnt really do anything at all. You can play youtube videos no matter what but HQ doesnt work.

Would Sensor=Rhodium & Data_Size=2048 for 2GB work?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sovereignty:
Just to save some confusion...that MIGHT not be the latest zImage/modules that I sent Reefer last night that includes some background cancellation tweaks.

@ villa15: If you want to test the latest with the background cancellation contact Reefer in PM for it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] smsmarty:
thank you, i'll check the sd card. I think i have an old one. I also have other stuff on the card. It is ok? should i have the card just with android on it?

thank you very much
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sovereignty:
(Not bashing you, Viper, just using your post as an example - you have been helpful here)

I think Reefer will agree with me: Please, everyone needs to post these kind of things in the Topaz thread and NOT here. As by the title of this thread, this is a PROJECT/DEV thread and posting things here that have no relevance to this build's development is cluttering this thread.

With that being said, if you want to REFER someone to the topaz thread, go right ahead. Just save all of the modifications and tweaking you had to do for the relevant thread...in this case the Topaz xdAndroid thread.

Thanks! :cool:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sovereignty:
You can have other stuff on the sd card as long as using the cab to install. But, if you ever run into trouble, try a fresh card first before posting about it. :cool:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Atmosphere:
What??? You worried about this thread getting cluttered!??!?

hahahhaaha :P
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] chizzwhizz:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sovereignty:
I'll rephrase to you picky ones...try to make it LESS cluttered...

Is that better? :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] CosmicBlue2000:
Well, there are way to many posts, that don't refer to bug reporting etc and what else is interessting for the devs. Perhaps we need more restrictive rules for this thread?

Why would someone want to have Sense btw? It's so slow...

Bug report:

When I try to start Android via "Project Android" shortcut, I'll get "An unexpected error has occured in MJGDroidUtil.exe. Select Quit and then restart this program, or selct Details for more information". But when I use Gen.Y, it will boot Android.

What has happend? No matter if this release (30. Aug.) or that before, it will only boot once, after that the startup.txt will be 0kb and Android won't boot anymore. So I put in a startup.txt from a release from July. After that, I'll get this error. Now, when I compare that (old) startup.txt with a newer one, there are no differences. Strange, isn't it?

Now, what's found under details?

Battery Driver Fix

For those interesting in testing viruscrazy's battery fix on the Rhodium, ReWind402 kindly compiled the modules so that Android actually boots. See here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8054393&postcount=4459

I recommend posting your feedback in the official XDANDROID thread, in response to the initial post, for maximum visibility. He also asks for dmesg logs to verify the driver is working correctly and for it driver to be optimized.

Dinik Glass, but a release from mid July. Get this error since 8/26 release and 8/30 of Android. Using the BLAZing one
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sovereignty:
not sure about that one...I use Energy Rom also, but the standard sense 2.5, September 4, 24631, and don't have a problem

If you feel like it, reflash with the latest dinik glass and try that.

So I have this odd problem. I'm running the latest blazin build. When I get a call, it's extremely loud. I'll try to use the volume keys to turn it down like in previous builds, but it doesn't work. However, when I do use the volume keys, my call gets dropped and I lose all service. The only way to get it back is to reset (I've tried toggling the airplane mode and whatnot).

I've reinstalled the build, but the problem still occurs.

Is my phone just messed up?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] rpowell:
Has anybody used the Blazn build for a long time? I am wanting to know if oc'ing cpu will cause problems down the road. I have been using the froyo and like it. I am thinking of maybe trying the Blazn. Thanks

Not sure if this is known or not but someone figured out how to get the mic working on tikl and voice search. I was not able to do voice search or be heard on tikl app untill i did this.

In winmo call your voicemail

turn on the speakerphone

put in your password and just let the voicemail system talk

while that is going on boot android (you will still her talking during the first half of the android boot)

once android has completed booting you will hear a hissing sound coming from the speaker but don't worry it will go away

to make it go away launch any app that has sound once the first sound plays the hissing sound goes away and viola open TiKL and you can now be heard loud and clear.

Rhodium doesnt even have a 3.5 (unless youre CDMA). :D You never know what could be fixed next!! There are a lot of things in the works right now. Tonight sovereignty actually just fixed noise cancel and in call volume control (controlled through the startup.txt for now).

First of all, thanks for a fantastic project!

I've been poking around the internet for weeks trying to figure out Spotify for WM on my TP2, with only rumours and vague innuendo going about.

And come on, Android beats WM any day.

Now there is only one function I really need to use this in full production, and that's BT :-) (So I'm definitivly gonna contribute to this project!).

On a sidenote, I was trying out another build yesterday (from xda-developers before I found this thread) where my phone would not connect to mobile networks, however, in that build I could find Spotify in the Android Market.

On the build in this thread Spotify does _not_ show up when I do a search in Market, any idea why ? Does it have something to do with localization that I can change somewhere?

Thanks again for the great work!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:

I have on occasion adjusted the volume even when it's not in a call and it will reset. Not back to WM, but back to the XDAndroid screen.

Nothing is perfect, but I think this version offers a lot more than the prior ones and it's really amazing considering our phones weren't designed for Android.

I can leave mine in Andriod for a long time now, with little or no issue.

Did you try deleting your data.img file?
