This seems encouraging, I'm trying to find an android version to use all day, every day. I'm gonna have to try that. Where are you getting the rootfs and kernals, and do you recommend using the cab or rar and why?

Thanks

EDIT: Found the links to the rootfs and kernals on the main site after some digging. I've noticed it doesn't say much about what exactly to do with them and where to put them, any help for the noob?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
The search is not very strong with this one...

They go where you run haret from. You don't see these existing files somewheres on your SD? Where you run haret.exe from...?

Just be sure to rename the zImage & rootfs to match - don't touch the name of the modules file tho ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] slapshot30:
So once I do that I just reboot android from windows and the changes are applied? On a side note, do you use the cab or rar and which is better (if any)?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I prefer the rar. Takes out the unneeded step of installing after copying to your SD. You just... extract/copy to SD. With that said, the cab makes a lazy shortcut :p

For me the cab takes too long. It's there for newbies tho. However, I question the ability of a user who can't follow simple directions to extract rar to sd... Not by any means saying you're one of them, just that is there really a need for cabs :cool:

Hey there,

since 9/23 my rhodium100_de freezes every time i run haret.exe. I read that other rhodium100_xx devices have the same Problem. I read the "changelog" of the kernel and think this freezes are there since there is an auto BL support. Any Idea if this is only for Rhod100 or if it is a problem of some and not all rhod100 owners?!

SD Card Formating and new fresh "install" was made without any result. Every time i update to > 9/23 haret.exe freezes.

Thanks ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Naadi900:
I believe you mean 10/23? there are two kernels from that date, the first one still works, second one, with auto backlight doesn't boot on my rhod100_uk (and many others).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Bieka:
Of Course.... i meant 10/23. Damn it's to early in the morning ;)

Hey guys :D

Finally got around to testin' this out, and must say it's pretty amazing :D I was really gettin' tired of winmo 6.5, and this gives me a lot of new stuff to play with :D

One thing I'm runnin' into is the backlight/buttons NEVER shutoff... it goes black, but the backlight stays on (did some searching, attempted the spare parts fix) to no avail.

I'm on ATT w/ a tilt 2, running the Sept. 28th BLAZN 2.2 release...

Any suggestions..?

Thanks,

-Casey
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Naadi900:
Make sure that when you boot those lights are turned off. Android will takeover the hardware state, so any lights (including keyboard) will stay on if they're on when booting.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Alcoholic:
Ever since i updated the new startup utility i can't boot into android. I click boot, it attempts to launch then my screen brightness goes down and it freezes.

I've updated to the latest kernal (nov 31st) and the latest start up utility 1.3.1.

Anyone else experiencing this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Naadi900:
If you would've read the last few pages (10 or so) you will see that it is talked about by me and some others. Even one page back!

From the second 10/23 it is not functioning anymore on some (all?) rhod100_xx models.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Alcoholic:
I only read the startup utility thread because i figured it was a problem on their end. But just posted that here to inform people that use the new start up utility.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Star-Lite:
Yup, I updated manually a few days ago and just updated again via the launcher utility and it works fine :)

Kind of Random

Kind of a random post but with all the updates and upgrades that you guys have made available to us.... I really want a real android phone and am now trying to decided between Verizon and Sprint (I have AT&T....lol) Been using the Verizon tp2 on ATT for awhile now..... Any opinions out there between the two CDMA carriers.... I am told that when you roam on either network you are using the others services???? Keep up the great work with XDANDROID..... Thx
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
This is really OT dude, but it really depends on your area. Sprint works best for me in my area, and VZ is *supposed* to have some of the best nationwide coverage.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Scoop3:
Thanks, but how do I boot w/ the backlight off...? it never actually turns off....

Thanks,

-Casey
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Scoop3:
NEVERMIND! when i boot w/ all lights off, the backlight actually turns off as well :D

Thanks guys! <3

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Atmosphere:
*sigh*

I updated with the latest startup utility update... without checking if it was a good update or not... it's not... the GSM side seems to freeze up after about an hour or so... then you have to completely reboot via winmo to get it working again...

anybody else have this too?? I did delete my data.img to try resolve it... it wasn't.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] radon222:
Only downside that I've noticed with the 10/31 kernel update is that I have again lost the ability for the caller to hear me on incoming calls. I had the same problem prior to 10/23 but the 10/23 and 10/29 builds were fine.

(Blazn on a Tilt2)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Scoop3:
I'm havin' the same problem on my device... either mic isn't working, or it's just not xmitting somehow... doesn't work in speaker (as documented) either... thought it was worth a shot =\
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
Normally you have to turn off auto backlight in WinMo in order for XDAndroid to be able to turn it off properly.

This might be done for you by the startup utility?

11/3 Kernel

The new 11/3 kernel update works great. You don't need the trick to call in WM before before booting anymore. Voice is recognized now. Great work.

New rootfs also available. All the Devs are working hard. Thanks guys.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kaybegod:
How did you get the 11/3 kernal update? When I run the update tool I only get 10/31. I'm using Rhod400
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] vinceweis:
Post #1, the big button for Project Android, then go to project tracking. It will have links to all of the updates.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kaybegod:
Thanks. My next issue is how to unpack it to my SDcard? Do I just rename it to modules-2.6.27.46-01177-gf93ab58.tar.gz?

I know it says to point the startup script to the new file but my startup script looks like this:

set ramsize 0x10000000

set ramaddr 0x10000000

set mtype 2292

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmts_calib=0x9f.0x39a.0x35c.0x78 msmvkeyb_toggle=off pmem.extra=1 gsensor_axis=2,1,3 force_cdma=1 pm.sleep_mode=2 acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=540672 hw3d.force=1 physkeyboard=rhod400"

boot
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] vinceweis:
Only the zImage has to be renamed. Leave the modules name as is. Just delete all of the extra stuff in the zImage file name so it only says zImage. Then delete the two from your device and replace with the new ones.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Update manually, use the kernel autobuild service.

FYI guys, new kernel works great for me! Voice search is flawless. There seems to be slight hiccups in the red led indicator in relation to voice search, but it always rights itself when the front led is called back - for sleep or wake. Speakerphone mic should be the next fix!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pdawg17:
Yeah...it works great...I was hoping that the speakerphone mic also worked during calls but it does not for me (Rhod400)...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JBaxendale:
Have to agree. I too updated with 1.3.1 startup utility and whatever is current build available with that utility (I think it was 10/31or maybe 11/01, anyway it was today). Mine is a GSM Tilt2. Completely freezes after about one hour. Unable to get internet access. While it will appear to correctly tether and indicates that it is connected, it can't download a page. This is in marked contrast to previous version I was using but I don't know how to go back (easily) to an earlier build after successfully updating with 1.3.1.

Current version for me is unusable and this is first one in perhaps 15 or more I have used in a row using this (1.3.1) and prior startup utilities to upgrade the build that I am using. Hopefully the 11/3 build is much better and Reefer (and or Sovereignty) will be able to incorporate that build soon.

I was almost exclusively using Android on my TP2 (Tilt2 GSM) with only minor hiccups. Now unusable. Hope this is just a matter of waiting for next build (maybe 11/3) using 1.3.1. startup utility.

Anyway, its a great project that seems to be inexorably winding its way to achieving a very stable and functional Android 2.2 on the TP2.

Thank you developers.

Question about the Sound

Hello guys, im somewhat new to all this, i did follow as you said, everything works except for SOUND! when i get INCOMING PHONE CALL , there is NOTHING, it does vibrate, only because i made it do that by default.

Please let me know what am i doing wrong?

Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] slapshot30:
So I am in android trying to set up my gmail account and no matter what it just says "can't connect" after a while. The first time trying this I used the startup utility and I had a couple bars but still nothing. The second time I got into android manually through Haret and I couldn't get service at all. I tried searching but I didn't find much, only some stuff on wifi. Any help? (In startup.txt the force cdma IS set to 0)

Also, do these steps seem right to update the kernal and rootfs manually?

1) Download the latest kernal and rootfs that you want to update

2) Unpack the rootfs file to desktop and copy it into andboot and rename it rootfs and delete the old one.

3) Unpack the kernal to the desktop and send the module into andboot but DO NOT rename (Delete old).

Rename the zImage file to just zImage and put it into andboot and delete the old one.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] vinceweis:
I also have an AT&T Tilt but use a different radio, and not sure about the ROM since yours is not very specific. The ROM shouldn't matter much though.

Make sure that CDMA is not checked in the startup utility. AT&T is GSM. I also start with no overclocking. After Android settles in, it works well. Then you can move to overclocking later to see if you like or need it.

Check the APNs in the settings to see if you are set up correctly on the network. It should be ok as-is but if it is not set up right, you need to read the FAQ about APNs
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] slapshot30:
Thanks. CDMA is unchecked when using the utility. The forceCDMA line is equal to 0 in the startup.txt also. However, when I went into APN settings, there was nothing there. What is normally supposed to show up there?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kaybegod:
I am loving the 11/3 build. The only thing that I noticed is in regards to the volume. Before my phone was booted into android, the system volume was low and when I boot to android, the volume is at the same level although the volume is at the highest level. I will boot my phone back into windows and turn the system volume up then reboot back into android to see if that makes a difference in sound
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] binht611:
my rhod500 can't make outgoing calls and receive incoming calls in recent build (from 10/30 to 11/03 ). help me please!

update: it can receive messages but not respond in calls!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] vinceweis:
I'm not sure why there is not something there already, but you will have to add a new APN. There should be an option on a menu to add a new APN. The settings for each item can be found by following the links in the FAQ.

edit: I looked it up through the FAQ. It will look like this:

Still no joy

The new 3rd November rootfs/kernel hasn't fixed the rhod100 non-booting issue. Are we European's going to have to jump off the project after all this time? That would be a real shame :(

Note: Yes, I know some rhod100s do work, lucky people! And yes, I know that rhod100s can be found outside Europe. ;)

Hello ,I have a question with android My Notification LED on mijn rhodium is turning on after about a vieuw minutes ,and I don`t now how I can`t shut it down wat is the probleem about this.:confused:

Mart
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ironhead65:
First time posting in this thread:

Just wanted to say, I have a Sprint Rhodium 400.

I use the updater to launch and update a Stock system.

I have it set to overclock to 700. force HW3d.

I am using the latest from the Updater (10/31).

Boots right in and just works. I've not seen any issues, except things that are not working (BT, Speakerphone Mic (I personally have this as untested since 3 revs ago), first load, we are in landscape - just hit the Window key to unlock and correct to portrait).

I will say, when I use haret directly to boot into Android, it takes 2-3 boots to get Android to not Panic reboot (I think that's what it said). Other then that, if I use the Updater to boot, it boots right in, no issues as have been mentioned in the last few pages (which I realize could be because some people are using a later release then the 10/31).

I will also say, my brother has a Sprint phone (lower end Android based...came with 1.6, he has been using 2.2 on it). As long as I don't do anything TOO heavy, as it is, my phone runs about as smooth as his. Although, he can have more then 1 thing running at once without issue. I struggle with 2, generally just need to be careful of what I have open.

Looking forward to the next few releases!

Thanks Devs!!!

--Ironhead

P.S. is it a big deal to switch to the Blazin theme? I.e. can I change over a "file" as I used to do with my "upgrades" (before just using the updater)? Or, if I change to the Blazin theme, do I lose my installed programs? Just trying to see how easy it is to swap entire themes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ironhead65:
as far as I know, that is the power / sleep state indicator (as the Devs have it set).

Green is lowest power mode. Orange is low power, but stuff is going on (I also see it change from Green to this state when charging).

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] quik99:
I keep seeing 11/3 build being talked about? why is the updater only at 10/31
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Star-Lite:
The power drain of the led is so minimal, you are not going to notice it ever :)

I single charge of the TP2's battery would be able to power the LED non-stop for a few years before running dry. 1 app downloading 1 KB of data will use more battery power then the LED will do in a whole day :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Star-Lite:
Because the updater packages are being manually put together, to lessen the chances of bricking your phone I guess.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kaybegod:
I use the Sprint Rhod400 with the Blazn build. I found that turning on overclocking whether its mild or heavy I always experience some type of undesirable results which always ended up being my phone rebooting after it finishes booting into android. I like Blazn better than the froyo version.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kaybegod:
Its still being tested I guess. I'm using it now and loving it especially since I don't have to do the voicemail trick in order to use voice search.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] hl41:
On a Rhod400, I use XDAndroid BLZN release pretty much full time and it is generally reliable for me. I overclock at 600 and have hw3d off. Calls, texting, data, voicemail, wifi all work for me fine. I don't notice much lag but I've never used a "real" Android phone so I have no basis for comparison.

Only things I really notice (other than the obvious not working yet stuff):

1) battery doesn't last nearly as long as winmo but I can usually get a work day in without charging. Around 12 hours and still has a bit of juice left. I use it extensively for games/surfing for about 2 of these 12 hours during my commute.

2) clock skew is pretty bad. I can lose up to a few minutes an hour. I use clocksync but a few times I think it skipped past my alarm and didn't wake me up :)

3) It hangs/reboots occasionally. Usually less than once per day. But I also reboot my phone daily into winmo just to check battery left as well as to check for updates.

Things that I've done to make upgrading safer:

1) in winmo, I backup my entire andboot directory before I run any update on it. If the update goes badly I can just restore this and all seems well.

2) in Android, use a backup utility like Titanium Backup. This backed up all my apps/settings and seems to work fine. I tested by installing a fresh Android build and then running this. After one reboot all my settings appeared to be recovered fine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] dsramesh:
I noticed in the last few builds including the latest and greatest, that the time is not being kept up, and it was lagging this time by about 7 minutes from last night.

Is there a work around?

Thanks and keep up the great work!

How about the reboot during calls or needing to do volume up/down on incoming calls?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Hard to troubleshoot something that's not easily reproduced...

It seems everyone has a different experience with calls, even those with the exact same device. So this one is going to be very difficult to track down & fix. It probably won't get attention until the other stuff is fixed tho - there's A LOT of little things that need fixing, not to mention big things like camera & bt.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Working well

Just wanted to share my experience here, with the latest rootfs (11/3), kernel (11/3), running FRX02, overclocked at a ridiculous 825600 (this probably isn't safe - but I have a screenshot to prove it), and most everything is working well.

YouTube is working, for the most part, though some videos don't play.

Native Tethering still isn't working, though, but no more VM in WinMo trick is necessary, which is awesome.

Live Wallpapers Picker is still Force closing, which is unfortunate, since I think they wouldn't run too poorly in my current configuration, but I guess that'll be figured out at some later date.

Overall, the project has come a long way, and I'm really enjoying it. Keep up the great work, devs!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Like others, i can confirm with the new kernel (11/3) & rootfs (11/3), u dont need to do the WM call+speaker trick to enable Voice apps/search/txt/etc. to work.. just boot, and it'll work.. had to manually place the new files in my SD card tho.. Startup Utility maxes out around 10/31 (~5 releases old) only for some reason.. Sov should check into that.. oh yea, using Reference 2.2.1-FINAL (FRX02), since Blazn is still on 2.2-BETA (FRX00B).. so i use Ref. wayy more often now until Blazn gets updated.. wussup Reef?
