I want to third that.. :)

More seriously, when all this started I surely did not expect such rapid progress. That we've come this far is a reflection of the commitment and passion from the Devs here. These folks have been slogging it out and have been gracious enough to share. XDA at it's best!!!

If there is any way for the rest of us to help, count us in.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] :
No fear. Charge for 10-15 mins and you will be back into WM. (Are you using USB to charge? 1 hr seems plenty to get back)

The WM Build on the TP2, appears to have it's battery check a little after the boot process starts, and so it preserves some more battery level. WM shuts down if it reaches this level. You can easily see this. After the WM says "no battery" and shuts down, try to turn it on again. It probably has enough charge left to go back to the full WM UI, before it shuts down again, with the same warning.

Android does not have this, and so depletes the battery more, below the level needed by WM. I've used this "feature" to actually completely discharge my battery before attempting a full charge.

Another example is the "motoq9h", which would not even power on again after a low battery indication/shutdown until it was charged for some time - same as Android here.

Good job on the newest developments. Love seeing you guys coming out with new accomplishments left and right.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cdiesel:
i remember a few pages back someone said they were close to getting sound to work.. jus wondering how far along that is?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
I believe the word used was "soon" and that term is relative. :)

They work on it every day. They are all very frustrated they don't have ringtones working yet, almost starts to become a personal vendetta. In the mean time you could always try the new build with working 3d. :p

Just keep watching bud, there is no telling when they will crack the code!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cdiesel:
im a patient person:D but again thank you u guys do good work:cool:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kojotandoh:
Does this mean we can play some of the 3d games from Android market in the new build?

I used the installation method of using the phones memory, but when i started haret loaded and said it couldn't find the rootfs on the root of the sd card :s
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cellphonechris:
I'm happy to report that as of 4 hours later, it seems my Rhoudium is finally booting... I'm going through the initial setup screens now (of course I panicked before posting earlier and hard-reset). I'll advise anyone who reads this NOT TO EVER let the battery run out while still in Android mode...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
That's why it says specifically in the download notes, "THIS CAB MUST BE INSTALLED TO YOUR STORAGE CARD."

I have the battery run down to 0% in android all the time, with no problems. After 5-10 minutes on a wall charger and its back to working, i could see how if you were using a USB charger, and it took 4 hours to get it back to an acceptable level, that you might be worried, but as has been explained NUMEROUS times, this is nothing to worry about.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jubeh:
so, is there a project page? Any way to build this myself and configure as I like?

---edit--- I tried 030810 on the official t-mobile 6.5 build and it won't start. It complains that the new launcher needs a newer version of .net. Maybe a list of requirements on the first page is necessary

---edit--- nevermind, launching haret from sdcard instead of the new startup utility works just fine

u guys have any input on this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Falk:
This is actually not a good advice: While MAC address filtering (as well as hiding your SSID) can complement WEP (and any) encryption, it is by no means a replacement. You may limit who has access to your network, but remember that without WEP you are sending all your data in CLEAR TEXT. Sure, WEP can be hacked rather effortlessly these days, but it still beats sending out whatever you do without any encryption at all. In short: Never ever just use just MAC address filtering and wait for the Android builds to support WEP encryption if you need it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] BoominSVX:
I've actually been driving down the street in the past looking for someone with an open connection just to jump on with my laptop and check something online. I don't care what they have in their computers, but they don't know that. My home network has been setup for 4 years or more using wep, and needless to say, I never see a car stop in front of my house for any amount of time, and my neighbors are running their own insecure network. The only reason I keep WEP is so it's not just a wide open line. I've even memorized the key (26 long), and I'm in no rush to change my whole house around. WEP works for most, and what makes it less than any other OTA network? They can all be hacked within a time frame. I just keep out the riff raff. The Data is now working, and Wifi (when it's available) will just be an added bonus to me. I don't use it all that much in WinMo either. Just my 2 cents while I wait for a download to finish.

Tried loading up a 3D Game, "Com2Us Home Run Battle" got just a black screen. Did I do something wrong?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Probably means its was just a bit too much for the 3d to handle at the moment.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] miker2431:
Love the new pre-load screen. Not only does it make the process simpler for the end-user, but it keeps me from accidentally loading Haret with my stupid fat fingers.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] imeraz:
Ok, now that I have got the battery to run for an acceptable amount of time I would like to try and run this close to 100% of the time. So my question is, is there a way to update to the most current build without losing data (sms messages, apps etc.)? I just hate losing everything everytime I update to the most current build. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Devs, your work is greatly appreciated!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
yea, don't delete you Data.img file.. move it somewhere.. then move it back once the new files are on your SDcard
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Viperal:
I noticed that my battery get warm with this build (even with 3d disabled). When I switch to old system.sqsh the battery doesn't get warm.

Anyone else noticed this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] nsane:
Congrats on getting 3D working(ish). Another step towards a full Android build for TP2.

Thanks a lot to the whole team!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] aq3e:
Thanks guys! checking it out now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Kawaiius:
Man..these developments are picking up speed it seems...can't wait to get sound working..thatd be awesome.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] dazultra2000:
Any ideas what 3D apps do work? So far I see a lot of people saying "it works(ish)" but I've not seen any mentions of what actually does work :) only stuff that doesn't.

I wanna see it for myself! :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] aq3e:
Ish is very vague hah, So far build is great!

Auto Installing Apps

So in previous builds we could place .apks in sdcard/AndroidApps and they would be recognized and installed when booting Haret. Now that doesn't seem to work anymore and when placing apks in the andboot/AndroidApps folder in their respective folders they do not install. When booting Haret in the running log it even says that those folders are exluded. Is there a way to make that happen again so when booting it loads those apps and you dont have to manually install each one?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] hova08:
Well i was a little scared to try this but, after thinking about i said what the hell..it's no worse than flashing a ROM...even though i wanted a reason to get the HD2 if something bad happened. Anyway so far so good, if i need any help i will ask questions not complain like most people.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] thecompany:
Got the exact same problem/question. Got more than 20 apps and its not really pleasant to install them one by one. Thats why I used the second method, just copying files to the root but now i wanna tripple boot ubuntu and android 2.1 (other topic) so now android 2.01 has to be in a folder and the cab is the only way to do that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] dominicanman912:
you guys are doing great work!!! much appreciation!!!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] thecompany:
Awesome speed, especially with the last zimages (03/09). Its so damn smooth, i dont want to go back to winmobile:(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] rakkk:
You need to copy and put them in \andboot\AndroidApps, not AndroidApps under the root dir. I have no problem to load the applications.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] chrisrj28:
That's what we were saying, we have done that already and they are not auto loading, when booting Android in the log it says those folders are excluded. We were wondering why and how to change that so if I copy .apks to my sdcard from windows I want them to auto install when loading Android just like they did in earlier builds
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] rakkk:
OK I see what you are talking about...

Here is what I did:

Copy the .apks, e.g. YouTube.apk from /andboot/AndroidApps/Media/YouTube.apk to /andboot/AndroidApps/YouTube.apk. And boot up Android, the YouTube is installed automatically for me.

Not sure if this helps... :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] chrisrj28:
Oh ok so you placed them at the root of andboot/AndroidApps and it saw them there and auto-installed? I will try that, thanks for the tip.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] HTCdemon:
Screenshot.

Haven't seen anyone yet post up a screenshot... so I figured id post one up ( used shootme to take it )

cheers on the development guys, I just got my touch pro 2 in the mail today and tried it out... amazing work :)

ps: Doh! looks like it wont let me put up the fullres one :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] chasy:
i got to say the battery life has really improved :)

but i hope the batterymeter gets soon calibrated ... so i won't suddenly run out of battery when i'm not at home ;)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kojotandoh:
Using the android 2.1 expreeso build with flash 10. Reefer any plans of moving from eclair to android 2.1 builds with your cabs? It is not as unstable as I thought it would be. The flash videos are rather slow and unwatchable though
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] woeds:
One of the developers is very hard at work to fix the battery readout. It's a very complicated matter though, so give it time.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] daxy:
How can I manually put the phone to sleep (or at least turn screen off)?

After 1 minute it blanks the screen automatically, but I'd like to be able to do it myself as well. Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kojotandoh:
Just tap the call end button to turn the screen off
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] chasy:
yeah i think phus already mentioned that it is very time consuming to fix that ... :) i got time to wait .. it's test paper period at my university .. and it suuuucks :/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] InjecTioN:
spontanious reboot

Wow!! what an improvement!! there is actually some speed in there right now!! biigggg thanks for that! :D

Maybe i have some useful information about the powermanagement:

My phone just seems to reboot (only when android is started) after a few minutes of using it. I could see in WinMo that my battery was almost drained completely, so i hooked it up to the charger. I started android again, and this time the battery-indicator showed me a few different (up and down) percentages of the battery which i haven't seen it before. Android says it's charging, but actually the battery isn't getting charged.

normally when i'm hooking up the charger with a half drained battery it says "it's fully charged @ 100%" while still actually being charged.

i have a Rhod100_uk

i hope the devs can use this information to bugfix the powermanagement. Big thanks to the devs, and keep on doing your great job, we absolutely love your work!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] dazultra2000:
So no ideas what 3D apps actually work then? I want proof! :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] daxy:
Doesn't seem to work. Nothing happens. Only when the device is locked (after returning from sleep :)) I can tab the end-call button and it will sleep again. Any other idea's? It's a Dutch Unbranded TP2 and I've selected Rhod100uk.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] majster-pl:
chack your startup.txt file... for physkeyboard=rhod100_uk

MAKE SURE THERE IS NO CAPITAL LETTER "R" you may have "Rhod100_uk" and in this case it wont work properly.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] e60202:
This Project Rocks

Just wanted to say...kudos to all those involved in the great achievements made so far. I stopped using my TP2 after getting frustrated with WinMo, but Android might just be the savior I was hoping for to breathe new life into it.

Excited to see what will be in store in the near future! :)

Cheers!

"cannot mount sd card", i had this in haret with ubuntu too. What shall i do?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pieteckhart:
allso mac address filtering is not safe at all, you can just use tools like kismet to look for wireless devices like laptops and such and see their mac address plain in sight. you can copy the address and pretend to be the same device...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cd993:
I had this problem when first trying to load android, try a full fat32 formatting of the the card, however if that doesn't work then like me (and others) you may just have to use a different card.

Now then as for my issue, I have Handcent Sms installed and set as my default sms app, however when i receive a new sms, read it and close the app, there is still a notification saying I have an unread sms. So I click it, it takes me to where Ive just been (as Handcent is set as default app) and after closing it once again the notifications are still there (in fact there are 2, one saying New Message received and the handcent preview of the message).

Any suggestions anyone?

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] phhusson:
I know it's weird but... I want proof too ...

I commited the hw3d.force=1 option, but I havent' tested it at all, I just do it works on blackstone :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
I have not gotten anything to work either, no labyrinth.lite, no gallery 2.1 .apk. Maybe we jumped the gun a bit? :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wirher:
Ehh, format didn't help. Some weeks ago i had working android.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kojotandoh:
I had labrinth lite working in in the 3/2 build . I havent tried it since i updated to 2.1 expresso
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cd993:
hmm not sure what else you could try then im afraid. I remember when my old card didnt work, i treid quick format, full format, different formatting programs, windows scan disk, checked for errors, Norton Disk Doctor, nothing worked. Forced in to buying a new one and that did the trick.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] chrisrj28:
Did it this way, plaed my .apks in the andboot/AndroidApps folder at the root and it sees them there, I wonder why it omits the other folders when loading apps
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] MRFERRARI23:
just out of curiosity, why is it that some features work on the cdma android port and they aren't working on the gsm version that we currently have here?? :confused: but it does seem with time we are making improvements and hopefully one day if its not 100% working on our tp2's that it'll be hella close with the only things not working would be the less not so important things... one can only hope and cross his fingers!!! :D;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] phhusson:
Which features work on cdma rhod that doesn't work on gsm ones ?!?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] majster-pl:
maybe power menagment ?

phhusson did u read PM?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] phhusson:
As I already said it before, I can get ~ 30% of battery for 6hours with push-mail., so it's working quite like diam100, so it's working.

Yes... would you mind posting the sources too ? I don't really like pushing only binaries.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] majster-pl:
Ok, i'll send source to you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] rick94:
And we are getting closer and closer to an version which can be used every day :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] nemo0405:
what did u do to use 2.1? i cant get the screen calibration to work :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] nemo0405:
i just use app installer to install them back ok :) if u really need some of those apps back
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cd993:
is it only me or does 3g only work if started in winodws mobile before? I set up the correct apn settings within android but couldn't get it activated and thenI started android within 3g activated and voila, 3g in android.

sorry if this has already been noted but did a search of 3g within this thread with no resulst, i watch this thread almost daily too and cant recall anything
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] InjecTioN:
correction: it doesn't charge at all in android... i just came back from work, and left my phone on the charger while running android. It didn't charge. is it just my phone (if so, does anyone have some solutions?), or does everyone have this with android?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] radi0chik:
I believe you have to have your charging cable plugged in while in windows mobile - then start haret - and it will work. Plugging it in while already in android doesn't charge it. I found that out the hard way.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] majster-pl:
How did you activate 3d in wm and run android in the same time?

I tryed it just now and can not get it working....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cd993:
read carefully my friend I put "3G" not 3D lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jawash22:
Messaging

You have to go into the default messaging app and turn notifications off.;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cd993:
yeah strangely I have done that. Notifications are unticked in the defalt sms app, I send myself a tester sms, receive it and in the notification bar I get 2 notifications, "One unread message" and the preview sms "Me: tester". So I select the preview of the sms, read it, close it and there still remains "One unread message". So i click that, read it, close it and its still there :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cekc:
Just tested it on my T-Mobile Touch Pro2, works great!

Is it just me, or is the call audio quality a lot better than on Windows Mobile? I was surprised at how clear it was.

Internet worked on it's own, I didn't have to setup anything. Marketplace worked. It connected to my Microsoft Exchange server and synced contacts and mail flawlessly.

Hardware buttons were mapped wrong, but I didn't bother trying to fix it.

I am very excited about this project. I bet within the next 6 months there is a nice stable build and I'll be able to ditch Windows Mobile!

Keep up the good work!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jhcomputerguy:
First I just want to say great work. It is nice to be able to have another option on the TP2.. I have this running on my Sprint TP2 and it works great, everything like described except for the phone and data. I was looking on post #1 trying to see if it says anywhere that this is gsm only but did not find it. On a couple posts some say it is gsm only but is this officially gsm only? I try to make a call and it says network provider not specified.. Tried to check APN, just blank screen under that setting.. Is there anyway to get data or phone running on cdma or is there another thread somewhere?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] iridium21:
Thanks for that! I'll remove it now... Why was that added in the first place :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] gehzumteufel:
You need the "physkeyboard=rhod210" defined in the command line during boot. This fixes most, if not all the keymaps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] iridium21:
In another 6 months there'll be another version of Android that doesn't work properly on our TP2s :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bdk184:
Well then we will just have to stick with the old build and be happier than we were with windows mobile. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] AdamWill:
Wrong in what way? If you mean the power button is home, that's not wrong, it's intended. Read back in the thread for the explanation.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] AdamWill:
This cab has that setting by default.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] AdamWill:
This is for GSM. It's not surprising it doesn't work on CDMA, CDMA and GSM radios are handled differently. I don't know if anyone's working on CDMA TP2.

im using energy's ultralight rom with the android dual boot and its just awesome. can't wait until these current problems are resolved and you guys will get $50 out me. still $200 for flashable rom, no haret :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] eternalcold:
Hey everyone... I cant seem to start android. I run Haret and it does the whole text on screen thing, but it ends up with this:

[ 000.000000] Something used micropklt_lcd_ctrl. This function should no longer be used.

Now the 000.000000 within the brackets just increases. thats all it does. it continues scrolling while that number increases over and over and over very fast. (i dont know if it actually starts at 000.000000 but it increases so quickly i am just using the zeros as placeholders for the actual numbers.

Any help?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] DWilli:
Other things that are functional/not woring in the 2/3/10 release:

Facebook Contact Sync works, but, with every restart, the profile link duplicates. I had 4 links to a friends Facebook within their contact info, and, along with the annoyance of multiple profile links, the edit contact becomes corrupted.

To fix: Go back into Facebook, go to the menu, scroll down to Sync and "Delete all Facebook data."

Also, MMS is not working despite the message saying it's downloading. I received a message that I was unable to download (AT&T), as I'm sure this has to do with no photographical element working in this build: couldn't add photos to contacts, add a photo to my Yelp account, etc.

Lastly, I'm not getting much of a 3G signal. I'm able to connect to "AT&T!" at my house, but I don't get great reception here, let alone 3G/HSDPA. Going out tonight, so we'll see how this works.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jhcomputerguy:
Ah, that would explain it.. Just wish it was labeled in the title or 1st post that it is GSM only.. It is still pretty cool to test though..

Actually I have a link here from over at ppcgeeks of someone working on the CDMA version... forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=109147
