ok..ive read long enough..lol I have a few questions that the answer is scattered throughout this thread but not sure if it pertains to my build. My device stats are in sig.

I got this program working perfectly. the 03/31 cab install one. I read throughout the threads of updating various ways with the new zImages, roofts, and initrd.gz files. Ive read all instructions numerous times and copied them to my device notes. I followed and still no success.

First this might help, i dont have an "andboot" folder. It says "Android". Ive tried renaming this file b4 but then XDAndroid wont load up. Anyways, i have an Android folder. within that folder, is all the other folders and those files that was mentioned.

I followed instructions on how to get the latest roofts, zimages and initrd files and downloaded them. I read about renaming the roofts and initrd files and did it. so i replaced those two files with the new renaming. then i replaced the zImage one in there also. Total of 3 new files within that Android folder where others was originally, in the same spot. Also noticed in original download theres a zimage and modules file. separated. this new zimage has the modules embedded. So i took out all old files and replaced with new downloaded ones , with the two out the three being renamed appropriately. i tried to run Haret, no luck. I even had took out the old data.img and ts.calibration file to be on safe side. still no luck. then i remembered i have to edit that StartUP.txt to point to new zImage. Ok. i went into and took out the old zImage section and put in the name of the new zImage that i downloaded. Also noticed after editing the startup.txt it asks me if i want to save in Word because some formats might b lost or something. i said no, to hopefully have it save in the same format it was in originally..Tried to start Haret again. No SUCCESS, STILL..lol I was getting that same error everyone says about the storage/somethin cant b found. I know you said to rename it. i did. I had no problems with the XDAndroid itself. I just want to have the latest components inside it. I would greatly appreciate any insight into this. Ive been doing soo much reading on this site and might have overlooked the answer. Maybe trying to take too much info in at once. One more thing, what is this Auto update/app mngr i hear people speak of? i that i saw reefer said that was for some older build. the 2.01 , i think. this would be way easier if i knew how to auto update and itll do all the work for me as far as downloading and renaming the files appropiately. Thanks in advance again and just want to say Great job developers on this XDAndroid. Truly amazing feats you have accomplished. Cant wait to go XDAndroid fulltime.. We getting closer :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] devilcuban:
Why no just create a "Andboot" folder and juts put all the files there manually ? because from wat i understand android looks for the files in "Andboot" if they not in the folder i wont load.

It should look like this

--Andboot--

\conf

\media

-haret.exe

-initrd.gz

-rootfs.img

-system.sqsh

-zImage

-modulesXXXXXXXXXXX

-startup.txt
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] precise3:
Where exactly do I enter this info? I know it goes in the startup text, but after which line item? When I enter it into text and start the program, it says error, file not found. Please help on location of entering information.

Thanks

Sound

Hey guys,

Any news on the sound front?

My friend thought it might have something to do with the fact that, every android mobile has a switch, to switch from ring to silent (well thats what he thinks). Could it be that the sound isn't functioning because it's actually stuck on silent?

Just thought I'd ask, you probably already know this, or my friend is wrong, but if it helps in any way, I thought I best put it up here.

:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] mxxcon:
source repository and builds are public. you can look at the change log and see if there's any work being done on the sound front.

sound is not working because there are no drivers written for our phones yet. it has nothing to do with the physical switch.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Both my .cab, and the .rar use the "andboot" folder so I'm not sure how you managed to break it... Also, you could just go to new>folder and name it "andboot"...

I think you are making it harder on yourself then you need to be... take baby steps... LOL

Why not just use the .cab?? It seems like all the problems would be solved if you just did a simple SD card install.... The .cab has a start menu shortcut, the startup utility with keyboard chooser, and the update tool. The rar also has the DroidUtil.exe that gives you the same startup tool, and update tool but you might want to just stick with the .cab if you're having problems creating your own file system.

Re: [CAB] Project Android Port and Startup Utility [03/31/10] NOW SUPPORTS CDMA!

i actually did the cab install. it works fine. i meant replacing the files within afterwards with the newest zImage, roofts. and initrd.gz files. i have those files. i tried again anyways..lol making an "Andboot" folder..didnt wrk. so i juss deleted all reminents and reinstalled the latest cab. works fine..talkin from it now ;) ill just wait for the new cab version to come out.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] hani1:
i just want to thank the devs again for working on this port. youve done a great job.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Updating those files is exactly what the update utility is for, so I guess Im not sure exactly where you are having trouble. lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JJHiemenz:
Add/insert it into the 'set cmdline' section, and within the double quotes that surround the options. For example :

set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmvkeyb_toggle=off physkeyboard=tilt2 htc_battery_smem.fake=1"
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JJHiemenz:
well.. you have to make sure the files are named what the startup.txt is telling the boot process to look for. If you don't edit the startup.txt, then it will be looking for zImage and initrd.gz, so when you unpack those files, make sure you rename them accordingly when you place them onto your SD card. Do not rename the modules file. Example: rename zImage.20100418_134356 to zImage, and rename initrd-20100328-d4cd3e8.gz to initrd.gz.

I have found using the new .cab install (or MJGDroidUtil.exe, specifically) to be a faster option, as I was previously also grabbing updates to my PC and unpacking, renaming, and moving over to my phone. The update tool does it all from your phone, saving many steps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] demandarin:
i did your cab install. the 03/31/10 version. works perfect. i have never seen the utility and updater tool you speak of that you said came in the cab on first post/page. i know frm reading around that you have to do the update b4 you boot up xdandroid. how do i pull up this utility and updater tool/exe.? i only have the robot/android icon in the start menu. as soon as u press that, HaRET loads and boots xdandroid up. it isnt like i press the icon and goes to some other option screen. it boots up immediately. or am i missing some pieces to my install? still wrks perfect in"Android" lol folder either way.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
You need to be using MJGDroidUtil.exe for all the startup tools. Its the one that pops up and lets you choose your keyboard, but you go to Menu>Update and you will see the update tool asking you what files to update. Not sure why the Start Menu icon would not open up this utility, as this is exactly the way it has been built.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JJHiemenz:
Did you update the shortcut to point to haret.exe instead of mjgdroidutil.exe? Sounds like what I did to my shortcut, and after a removal and reinstall the shortcut stuck. I had to manually delete my shortcut to the android icon in WinMo, then get reefer's .cab util installed. It created a new shortcut pointing to the proper .exe. When you start this, the bottom right has a menu for 'Update'

Where is the best pace to see the change log? A little searching got me to http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android but it wasn't clear this was the right place.

any update on the sense .cab?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:

Looks like someone got android fully functional (w/sound) to work on an iPhone http://windows7news.com/2010/04/22/get-android-on-your-iphone/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kojotandoh:
Android on Iphone

Wow!!! I wonder how they got hardware drivers for this port. That is usually the problem with os ports . This actually gives me hope that we will eventually get sound bt and the camera working. If the iphone can do it rhodium can do it better :-)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] elroy944:
iphone has just only one button, it could be a problem :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lordstrife:
I love what your doing.

I have to ask you are you guys prioritizing things?

Like maybe get all the sound working and then gps then wifi then bluetooth.

What good is a phone that doesn't ring or if you can play music on or anything or no gps.wifi and bluetooth are not high on my list as some of the others .
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
You should read along for a while and you'll know how its prioritized. Your list of "needs" is not the same as everyone else. You would also know, just by reading the first post, that WiFi already works.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] apax:
sorry....to post this...:o

this thread is so huge, it's hard to follow it...

i'll wait until the first post gets updated....:D

can't wait until this works fully....***cross-fingers***
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Wow guys,

So, the new 2.1 builds have a small bug I am trying to figure a way around, while still keeping the file as small as possible. Right now the 2.1 w/ Sense .cab is at like 200mb and i think it took like 15 minutes to install. LOL It works, but that's almost too big for distributing I think. Do you guys want me just to upload it the way it is, or keep looking for a better fix (which i think is doable, just will take more troubleshooting)?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Kenichi:
Hmmm I don't mind trying it out, its fine if it takes that long, I just want to give it spin :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JJHiemenz:
Re: [CAB] Project Android Port and Startup Utility [03/31/10] NOW SUPPORTS CDMA!

I'm game to give it a spin, but that's just kinda me. I love to jump in and figure out how to dig out later. ;)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Here is a download link guys,

I will keep working to see if I can get it to work without including the data.img, which is what is making it so huge.

Klinux 2.1 w/ Sense

--EDIT-- Download link moved to post #1
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] michaelra:
But wouldn't everyone want their phones to ring if someone calls? Sorry if you actually want an internet more than being to know when someone calls you rather than keep on looking at your phone every second?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Well, of course most people want it to ring, yes, but some people at work or school have to leave their phone on silent/vibrate for 8+ hours a day anyways. Say maybe they also use WiFi at work, well now on their list of needs WiFi is ahead of sound.... or maybe they have a BT receiver in their car, and a BT headset, now they dont need sound they need BT which would also actually bring them sound.... regardless of this, the devs work on these issues almost daily. Even if one is more important than the other, this is not always the order that the fix becomes apparent. Just watch the thread, and with some patience perhaps all of these issues will be fixed. ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] michaelra:
lol fair enough. I guess if vibrate still works, then it's better than nothing :)

It's the only thing keeping me from trying the Android on my HTC Touch Pro 2

Will keep an eye if there's ever a fix on it and try it out
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ben.whisenhunt:
I'd just like to say to everyone involved.... Kudos!! I know your not done and when you are the sound will work.... ( which honestly, if it worked I would think you where done ;) ) I know there are many other issues to be addressed and I just have to say it again Awesome JOB!! Everyone at work is actually giddy btw... grown men .... giddy, that's right I said it.

If anyone is still having issues with running the 3/31/10 build, install the program run it and in the menu select "update" do each one separately as doing them all at once only completes the first download. Sprint users make sure you remove your sim card and if/when you get the cannot access sdcard error type "exit"... the phone will reboot and then run again... has worked every time since last update on Sprint TP2... as well disabling Hardware 3D also helped when encountering the cannot access sdcard error
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Well, maybe you should try it. :) It is pretty nice to show off having 2 different OS on your handset. You never know, you might actually like playing with Android OS more than you think, even without sound! If you don't like it, its a very easy uninstall.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] thrower86:
Hello guys, loving the project. Been keeping up for a few weeks now. Just downloaded and installed the new klinux packet to try it out. I've run into a problem though. I'm not sure what thread this sense package came from so I'm not sure if data was working in that build or not. Android recognizes my carrier, AT&T, and I can make calls but my data connection isn't working. Asked me to enable mobile connections in settings and I went ahead and did but still can't connect to data, just said connection failed. So I went in and installed my APN settings and saved it but it didn't stick for some reason. Any suggestions? Also, would there be a way to transfer my previous files from the last build? Not sure if moving the data.img file from ANDBOOT to the same folder as sense is the right way to go. By the way, Sense looks amazing on my Tilt 2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Deafcyclist:
I did delete ALL files with handcent in the microsd and it's still there. tried the same with the live wallpaper and still the same.

so i tried to uninstall it after deleting those files and finally, it seems to works! thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] AdamWill:
majster should submit them to be included in XDAndroid, or provide the raw keymaps somewhere (as I do at http://www.happyassassin.net/keymaps/current/ for mine) to make it easier to pull them into the rootfs used for this build.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] AdamWill:
...it's easy enough. All the keymaps are included in the main .cab. All the keymap cabs need to do (like the Tilt2 cab does) is provide a startup.txt which specifies the right 'physkeyboard' parameter. (The Tilt2 cab just replaces the startup.txt from the main cab with one which says 'physkeyboard=tilt2').
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cd993:
No you do not need that certain rom, just any rom will do as the android builds are not roms as of yet (it boots seperately upon launching it in windows mobile).

So far the android build is running quite smooth, very impressive as is still relatively early days and is only a matter of time for the major things like power management and sound etc for this to become a day to day usuable OS.

I suggest you just try it, read through the instructions but essentially download this file: http://htcandroid.xland.cz/Android2.0.1-07.02.10.7z extract the contents to the root of your storage card, and then run haret. Be patient whilst it loads and you should soon be experiencing android on the rhodium! Just so you know as soon as you reset your phone (you have to use the reset button with your stylus) it will boot in to windows like normal as like I said android boots seperately and windows remains untouched.

Many thanks to all the developers involved!

I think he's working on releasing a new cab of this android soon... but I wonder, what will be new in it etc that the feb 3 cab didn't have???

Also I was wondering this, since I installed it via cab....if I simply uninstalled it would it take it all out of my phone and make like my phone never had android in it?? and if you make a new cab can we install it over the feb 3rd cab or do we have to uninstall it first then install the new cab??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cd993:
i found that i needed to uninstall the cab and then install the fresh release
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bvone21:
FYI, you've got the version date still appended to the zimage filename in this last build.

PS, thanks guys for keeping up with this thread! It's very helpful!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] MRFERRARI23:
cool yea I figured you'd have to uninstall the last cab to add the new one. but when you uninstall the feb3 cab is it a clean uninstall taking everything out??

BTW the updated build isn't in cab form from 2-8-10??

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] thecompany:
Why is everybody whining about cabs etc? Is it really that difficult to copy some files to a sd card? If a new release comes out in the other thread, just copy the new system.sqh file to the sd card and your ready to go without reinstallation, same goes for the modules and the zimage.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] elroy944:

I still do not get it, if I have Original Rhodium (RHOD100) shall I go for .rar rather than .cab as they have only RHOD210 and Tylt2 versions?

BTW, perhaps a ChangeLog would be nice to see, from one version to another ... or it has no meaning at this stage of development.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Modernly:
Great progress thus far, I booted in and ran for awhile today to try it out. I have a Tilt2, for information sake.

Main issue (not addressed within the thread) for me, were warmer than normal battery, which I assume to be from the lack of power management. And to go along with the battery warmth, the battery meter showed 100% all the time. I did go into Spare Parts and check battery information but this reported 100% as well.

Vibrate worked initially and then failed to notify when new messages/emails came in. Downloading through the app store worked without issue. 3G was stable if a bit slow (totally useable, so the speed is not a big deal).

I'm very impressed at the speed of development given it's all 3rd party. I'm almost swayed into buying a Nexus One but not sure if I could live without my physical keyboard.

Keep up the great work.

I am now :) Got bunch of errors of long filenames and not auto fixing this problem thingie when booting. Found some threads saying that its' because the SD card is not formatted as FAT32.

The card is bundled with the NavNGo MyWay 8 though so I can't format it without wiping the license :( Tried to copy it over to my desktop but fail

Might have to buy an extra mini SD to try it grr

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] thrower86:
Thanks for replying Reefer. Hmmm, gave it a try a few times but it didn't stick. Just enter APN, save, back up to turn on Airplane mode, restart, open Android back up, go to settings and disable Airplane mode? Tried that a few times and not connecting. 3g isn't showing up on the top drawer either. Are the APN settings supposed to appear on the list after entering and saving, because AT&T isn't showing up on the list after I entered and saved, actually nothing showed up on the list. I'll try a few more things on the data connection to see if I can get it connected. By the way is this build the same one from this thread, (Android 2.1 with HTC SENSE ON WVGA/VGA DEVICES !!(vga needs some fixs)? Thanks in advance.

No, the APN settings wont show in the list.

Yes, its the same sqsh as that.
