I can't get the thing to run on Vista 64 no matter what I do. Always says it can't find the Android SDK and, yes, I did the registy edit including pointing it to the non existent C:\Program Files\Droid Explorer\SDK directory it says to copy from the existing registry entry as well as pointing it at the C:\AndroidSDK I've also installed to no avail.

Of course, I don't know what I'm doing. Might be because there's no driver as that won't install either despite pointing windows at C:\Program Files\Droid Explorer\USBDrivers and I can't find anything to manual install either. Trying to install from the .inf says it doesn't support that kind of install.

Probably real simple if one knows the magic words.

So I'm going to go ahead and claim this thread as dead...

no updates on the first page since November?

My advice...get a nice custom ROM and forget about trying to get android on a windows device...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] captobie:
Or just find a different thread. The breakthroughs keep coming... camera, keyboard backlight, sound through the USB port (good thing I kept the dongle from my Fuze). No need to give up! :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
As is stated above, just look in other threads. The OP doesn't have his RHOD anymore, so he doesn't update this thread much. Boo hoo.

Sure, checkout the thread I created on the topic ;).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] geminix2:
What thread is that? I thought this was the 'official' project.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] geminix2:
Thank you!

I still can't get Droid Explorer to work but PDAnet does (follow the instructions to turn on USB debugging) and that apparently allows "MyPhoneExplorer" to work over USB. It's confusing because Windows still can't find the 'CDC ACM' drivers it couldn't find before but ADB gets installed and that is apparently enough.

MyPhoneExplorer also finds it on WiFi but WiFi wasn't working when I first tried it. (If connection left to 'auto' it prefers WiFi)

The MyPhoneExplorer client on the phone can also be confusing when using USB as it notes at the top it's connected by USB but exclaims USB cable not plugged in! It's working, though. The 'USB Connected, turn on USB storage' notification doesn't work (ignore it). Everything is going over debugging and that must be on.

MyPhoneExplorer can apparently also sync the phone with Outlook (as well as Windows Contacts, and Seamonkey [I presume it's detecting what's installed]) but I had already done a contacts sync by first up syncing WM with Google and then down syncing Google to Android.

At any rate, PDAnet, for the driver, and MyPhoneExplorer, for sync and file transfres, are workable combination.

It even correctly tells me when Android, for no good reason, automagically decides my SDcard is gone.

Ringtones

hello, I just installed the android OS on my sprint touch pro2 and was trying to get the ringtones to work with no luck. I have found that Ringtones do work if you download Music Box, and Astro File manager:D from the market. Start musicbox and search for any song and download it. Click on the tab in musicbox called "downloads" find the song you just downloaded. Press and hold finger on the song and you get an option to set as ring tone. Now if you go to main menu/ settings/sound/phone ring tone you will notice the silent option is not checked any more. and the song you set is the ringtone now! what I have found now, is if you start Astro file manager and locate a song or ringtone you have stored where ever in your sd card, you can select a song/ringtone by holding finger on the file and you get an optionthat say "music options" click on that and then click on set as ring tone. This option was not avaliable until i used "musicbox" But it works for me now.

Oh "claimed dead" by a Jr Member... we should all listen.

Look at the actual web page Sherlock Holmes. Last update was "Dec 20, 2010 10:29 PM" to replace the reference system image with the newest one. I dont keep up with kernel updates anymore as there is a tool that does that for you now that is included with the download. Updates are coming much much slower, and fewer and fewer people still use their Rhodium (including the Devs).

Oh and guys, Hi. Im really not dead. :D

I've been running android on my Tilt2 for quite some time now. What rock are you hiding under?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] DennisSclan8:
So agree with the last post and one by Reefer, hey been using this as a primary since early November, enjoyed it so well that as of yesterday TMo grieved me with updating my service plan because of the apparent android use and no matter the configuration - unless I WiFi (works great) I have no internet. Oh well, this has been better than several other roms I seen, and is totally SD card operate, how many roms can do this much so well?? This is FANTASTIC - INCREDIBLE and ACCOMPLISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These Devs rock :)

PS keeping my rhodium and love it :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] geminix2:
Which 'music box'? There's a whole gaggle of them.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] highlandsun:
Hmm, what phone are people migrating to? I came here from my G1 because I wanted basically a G1 with more RAM and a higher rez screen, and the Rhodium kinda fits the bill. The G2's keyboard is IMO inferior, and I still don't see a new phone that has what I want. The Samsung Galaxy S Pro would have been nice, but since it's CDMA-only it's useless to me and Samsung shows no signs of releasing a Galaxy S/S2 GSM phone with a good keyboard.

he launcher pro is not working and i think the keys are messed up. im using blackstone
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
You should be able to update it, the error message should take you to a link to click on.

If not, delete the data.img and start clean.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] neo_zycho:
it showing me the link but the problem is i can enable my wifi and my gsm data is not working. any work around on this one.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I gave it to you, delete the data.img.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] neo_zycho:
sorry to say but still the same
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] neo_zycho:
hope somebody can help me out here. im stuck.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] daalvarado:
had same problem, had to unistall launcher pro and wifi worked again
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] neo_zycho:
but i cannot see any menu on the start of the android. when the phone first starts up it automatically say that launcher pro is not valid and i can't see anything just the browser itself. how did you manages to uninstall it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] neo_zycho:
manage to do it. i download the latest launcher pro in my desktop, copy it in the sd. then at i went to contact, add new contact, on the picture of the contact the file manager will be there, look for the package and install it. Viola, it works. hope this work around will be useful to someone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] neo_zycho:
another issue i encounter, when someone call me they can't here me. any work around on this one
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] segadc:
I had to switch from FRX03 to the latest Blazin. FRX03 kept slowing down (I kept deleting data to fix it). Anyway, I do miss the tethering that was built into 2.2.1 (it had WPA2 encryption not just adhoc). But for now 2.2 is fine and looking forward to Honeycomb.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bparent:
Is the latest Blazin on the Download page at the beginning of this thread?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Barnacle wifi tether I've heard is good.

However, slowdown issues are related to the system_server bug. If you make a call to voicemail (or anywhere for that matter), once the call is ended the slowness should clear up. Does every single time for me. Devs are looking into the issue, but it's not a particularly easy one to trace.

You're running an old kernel, and probably a very old system image if you're using BLAZN.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] segadc:
Oh ok well I guess I should of waited but I think I will upgrade when we (ok not me lol) get 2.3 working.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] shatred:
is there perhaps an dev. thread of the 2.3 gingerbread (like an main 2.3 dev. thread)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Considering there's really only one dev working on it, no. If you wish, see his blog here.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] burymeinblack:
I will officially wait...

Okay. So tried to install a kernal that I was pointed towards, but ended up somehow getting my phone stuck in an endless reboot loop. I guess I suck at this more than I originally thought I did. So. I will wait until there is an official update or if someone could point me in the direction of an easier way to get the latest fixes. Much appreciated.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Until the autobuild service is back, there isn't a good way really. F22 has been kind enough to start a thread where he keeps up with the newest kernels, and he's done a great job (IMHO).

With that said, to fix your bootloop, delete your data.img, and try to boot again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] neo_zycho:
the Blazn package with frx03 running fine. hope they can incorporate the latest kernel and module (1253) in it. i'd tried it to update but sometimes it hangs. great thanks and cheers on the developer team
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
What? FRX03 and BLAZN are two completely different builds.

BLAZN is pretty old at this stage, we're working to get an updated one out. Stick to vanilla FRX03, IMHO that is the best experience presently.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] neo_zycho:
thanks for that, can you get me the link for the vanila frx03. sorry as i am a noob on this one. just trying different builds.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] burymeinblack:
I luckily fixed the bootloop. How? I honestly don't remember. LOL Don't drink and mod. But for now I guess to avoid further bootloops, much respect to F22 and his continued efforts, I will wait for the autobuild service to come back up. Much love and respect to all the devs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] neo_zycho:
i downloaded the 12/20/2010 release of matthew gonzales, but when it start in android, it restarts my blackstone. any fix on this one. i already tried deleting the data.img and still reboot. also tried to start from scratch with the same result

It's the startup.txt file you should be editing... if you don't have one (or it's invalid in some way), haret.exe will look for a default.txt.

Need link to latest Android files and tips

I'm sorry if I missed something - just found this thread and would love to know where to get the latest files and instructions for installing Android on my Verizon Touch Pro 2. I just downloaded the following:

XDANDROID.2.2.1.AOSP.FRX03.21.11.10.FULL_PACKAGE

Also, are WiFi, Bluetooth, Camera, etc finally working?

Thanks guys
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Read the first few posts.

BT and camera are not working. There's a test kernel for camera, but it's not committed yet as there's still some kinks to be ironed out with it.

That package will get you started, if you wish you can update the build - but you have to update it piecemeal, one piece at a time. Again, read the first few posts. Then use search. Apply liberally. Then post questions ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jphaus:
Just upgraded to 1253 from 1250 and I'm proud to report that sound is working great on my Sprint Rhod400. Obviously I'd prefer the 3.5 jack over USB, but this is great progress. For me, Android is close to perfect on my TP2, so thanks to all devs!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] magpulser:
Need link to 'latest' Android install tips

I appreciate your reply, and did read the first few posts, also a lot of searching. Here is what would be most helpful (and of course anyone's advice would be very welcome)...

A link to a page that has good step by step instructions for installing FroyoStone Sense v3.2.7 and getting Android to dual boot with Winmo. Or do the instructions for much older versions still apply?

Appreciate any replies

SD Card Issues

Found a solution, at least for me. I have a generic 2 GB Micro SD that would fail on the boot to Android for all the usual reason mentioned. What I did is look how it was formated using the Disk Utility with Ubuntu 10.10. I saw it had an extended partition as well as a FAT partition. I clean them both off and created just a plain FAT partition and all's well.

So passing that annoyance I know have the "kernel mdp irq already on 4 4" and "mdp_dma: busy" so off to sort that bit out. Just thought the card thing was interesting and didn't notice anyone else mention trying to format the card specifically. Am I wrong? Please say so.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Christiaan91:
FAQ: If you are having issues, the best course is to get rid of that and let it re-create it. Some users state re-formatting (LONG format, not quick format!) your SD Card to FAT32 fixes things up.

if that doesn't help try to add this, msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000, in the cmdline of yout startup file.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wanderingsilver:
Touche! I forgot the FAQs.

Now I'm stuck in a loop with the "XDANDROID" animation. Back to the FAQs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jonpeter:
i just installed the FRX03 and able to boot into it... how do I update it? do I have to go back into winmo then update before booting or can I update while I'm in android?...

sorry a bit of noob here... thanks guys
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Christiaan91:
First of all you got different builds, but i would stick to FRX03 for now.

The only thing you need the update are the kernels and the modules in FRX03, if i'm right.

You can find kernels/modules in this thread.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jonpeter:
just so we're on the same page, I have the FRX03 from Matthew Gonzales is that the same FRX03 that you mean?

I used the CAB installer with the icon in WinMo that will let you choose your device and there is a Boot and Update button at the bottom. So if I update the kernel do I no longer need to click on that Update button? Also for the kernel do I have to place them all, I mean starting from the oldest to the newest or do I just drop the latest one to get updated?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Christiaan91:
Not sure if we use te same, but if it isn't giving you any problems i would stick with your build. I don't know anything about the update utility. I always update manually.

No, you dont't have to start at the oldest one, just download the newest.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jonpeter:
ok, thanks a lot man... just finished downloading the kernel. will be loading the kernel now (crossing fingers)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Marlinsfan88:
just got back on this forum for the first time in a while. has the development for it stopped? saw that there hasnt been an update since late november
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Development has not stopped whatsoever. We just got keyboard backlight working, plus the camera. I'm really sick of these posts to, look around a little before you say we've stopped.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] m_drunk:
don't be so frickin' smug. you may be "in the know" but you're still just a man. if you don't want to answer the questions, then don't, but keep your sideways comments to yourself. there are ~1190 pages of crap to sift through. everyone looks at the first page (where updates used to be) and then asks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] aberry:
Interesting thing happened

Rhod400 with FRX03 with 1253 kernel and I left the camera froyo.conf file and lib and gralloc. OC to 700mhz. Runs very smooth and fast. Has been very stable also. But, just a minute ago I was playing angry birds and not sure if I got a txt or something, but it rebooted to windows. Not a big deal, but when I went to start haret again it went looking for the startup.txt and it was gone. Completely blanked it out. I rebuilt the startup.txt again and it works like a champ. 1st time it had happened to me so I thought I would report. Thanks devs for all you do!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Perhaps you (and others) should be a little more thankful for stuff that's being provided free of charge. Devs put a lot of hard work into this project, and no one is stopping. It's insulting to insinuate that we've stopped, just because a guy gets a new phone and doesn't update the first post. Boo hoo, suck it up - some people move on to new devices, some cling to their old hardware. Just how it goes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] highlandsun:
Maybe one of the currently active devs should start a new thread, so they can keep the first post up to date? And some of us can sift thru these 1190 pages and copy/paste anything worth repeating into the new thread?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Eh I guess I could create a new thread... I've thought about it, I'll see how Reef feels.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Ltilt2:
I have searched in the FAQ for the keyboard backlight fix but didnt see anything. Where or how can i get these 2 fixes
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] trusa1:
Keyboard Backlight - kernel 1246 or higher

"Test" package for camera
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] F22:
Reef is no longer actively updating the 1st post in this thread so it makes sense for you to take over the responsibility Arrrghhh by creating a new thead in the near future, especially since you're set up to build the reference package yourself at this point. The most sensible time to do it would be when we make the jump to Gingerbread. If we want to do it earlier, the coming release of FRX04 would be a good time too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
You're right. I'll wait for the next release then... thanks ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] F22:
lol! You don't have to do it if you don't have the time. No pressure. It's up to you. It's just that you have my vote of support if you want it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] johnhale:
+ 1 vote here
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Nah, I basically live here. I'm probably a good a candidate as any.

I was just agreeing with your idea, wait until the next release.

I'm wondering if stinebd will push out the new graphics stuff and stamp it FRX04 or if he has more up his sleeve...

Knowing him, he's got a lot more up his sleeve hahaha :D.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] BigOnes69:
I will get my nose brown and vote for him also.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jchutch2:
I guess I missed something..."until we make the jump to Gingerbread?" FRX is going to merge with Gingerbread? For why?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Uh... What? FRX is just our internal numbering system... Special to XDAndroid.

But just like the Eclair system image hasn't gotten any improvements, when we move to Gingerbread the Froyo system image will similarly be left behind.

Nothing prevents you from running the old system image (people still run Eclair because of Sense - just look around for Sense X, it's really the 'Rosie' build from 2.1), it will just no longer receive code updates.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] F22:
ACL's libGLES & gralloc will be in FRX04, as will my symbol palette expansion. The open question is whether or not Viruscrazy's liboemcamera will make it too. And it certainly sounds like you're right about stinebd having something up his sleeve, he's thinking about trying out a patch from gingerbread that he's hoping will result in a speed improvement for froyo too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Marlinsfan88:
dont get ur panties in a wad buddy, was only a question. theres 1200 pages on this forum and im not sifting through every page for a phone i USED to use in hopes that there MIGHT be an update somewhere burried in here. was just a simple question, wasnt bashing anyone or knockin anyone off their high chair. i was and still am very gratefull for all the devs and reefs management of the forum while i was on here and was curious because there were no updates on the first page(like every thread that anyone is on) and noone has remade the thread. i didnt accuse anyone of stoping development for this phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jchutch2:
I honestly thought FRX and gingerbread were basically different teams attempting to use Android in different ways. What's the point in them being separate now, then?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
/wristcut

lmao

Like rats jumping ship!! What makes you guys think im not set up to do another build? I updated the last time the system image was updated thank you very much. Actually, Ive updated twice since that, but thats besides the point. lol

I see how it is. :eek::D:cool:
