You don't pay enough attention to us Reef! :p

Seriously tho, I'll take over the next release and create a new thread. I'm done with people complaining about how big this thread is. Thanks for your work Reef, we'll still do work together - I'll just be the schmo managing the updates to the masses ;).

Wow... I really do not know what you're talking about, I think you're really confused about how development works in relation to XDAndroid. Please visit our website http://xdandroid.com sometime, you'll learn something! :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
I know of most of the people in here you are one of the more capable of taking care of yourself arrrghhh lol

There are people answering questions, and you're all running the latest FRX version of android, so I don't see where I fell behind, and why everyone is complaining. Almost 2mil views, countless TBs of downloading for about a year now, and no thanks. Literally and Metaphorically. LMAO
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] F22:
A lot of it may be that with Glemsom's autobuild service down, none of the newer kernel improvements like working kbd backlight, improved 2d graphics speed, or working extUSB headset have made it into a build yet. The first page which is accurate as of the last build 2 months ago and the lack of notices from the update utility that a lot of people are now relying on thanks to your collaboration with sovereign, make people think there hasn't been any progress since.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
I agree with that F22. My brother had my Rhodium up until about 2 weeks ago he was using it. I didnt even notice that the autobuild service was down until last night when I was reading up messing with FRX03 with arrrghhh to get blazn back up to speed. (or try again)

I will update the package manually for the update tool as soon as i reset my server password and can successfully log in again. lol

I have been slacking, but honestly I didnt think you guys missed me that much (and i didn't have my Rhod as arrrghhh mentioned before). You guys have arrrghhh and f22 obviously checking into this thread often they are both at LEAST as smart as I am. :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] F22:
There have been 22 commits to the kernel since Glemsom's last kernel on Dec. 4th. So yeah, the kernel devs have been busy. BTW, it's good to hear that a new blazn release is in the works, that will make a lot of people happy. Your blazn build has a lot of fans.

Sounds good.

Flattery will get you everywhere. :p But more seriously, it sounds like you're still interested in maintaining the xdandroid builds. The only question is if you still have the time/interest to continue maintaining the first post/faq as well? It would be helpful if Arrrghhh could edit those, particularly if you're going to continue being scarce. That's why I was encouraging him to start a new thread. Nevertheless I know you guys talk, so I'll let you two work that out.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jchutch2:
Yeah...actually I have done quite a bit of reading with that site. There's not really any explanation of the breakdown of things here and why they're separated out. It points out the one main thread (which reefer has so OBVIOUSLY neglected. LOL j/k). Nothing about any of the other "competing" builds.

I wonder if maybe you've just been involved so long and have had part in so many aspects that you possibly don't see how convoluted it is to a newb like myself. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Oh it's very convoluted, I won't deny that.

But we only document XDAndroid builds - we'll never document 'competing' builds as you say. That would be way too complex.

However, all of the AOSP builds for XDAndroid all go back to the same dev team. So Eclair, Froyo, and soon GingerBread - the 'reference' vanilla versions - are all from the same dev team. Which mainly consists of stinebd (at least for the system image, which is what we're talking about.)

I just don't see why you assumed the FRX(whatever) was different from the GingerBread AOSP work.

Unless of course you are in fact talking about other builds - for example, Neopeek released an 'alpha' build of Gingerbread already. That is not XDAndroid, and again we won't document anything about their builds - that would be utter madness! :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pgdrz4:
love it. can't wait til camera and video officially starts working. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jchutch2:
Actually, that little diatribe explained QUITE a bit. Thanks! Neopeek is one that I saw mentioned often, and probably made some assumptions.

My camera's working without issue.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Glad to hear it... there is a lot of confusing and sometimes conflicting information out there - I do my best to set the record straight ;).

I think he means that the code has not been committed - which it has not. The cam code is not in the main GIT tree yet. Plus, video doesn't work at all.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] megamac55:
Is this an older version of voice search installed on here? i tried to install voice actions, and it will not work, the voice search with this build doesnt seem to have the same features.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Are you on FRX03? It's 2.2.1, so it's got the newest voice actions to that version of Android...

Not sure if there's some new ones in GingerBread (2.3) or not - those would obviously not be included.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] stinebd:
Hi all, we've got a new release for you tonight.

No it's not Gingerbread :(

XDAndroid 2.2.1 Build FRX04 is out now.

It includes 3D improvements from [acl], as well as synchronizing the minor changes from the upstream Android froyo branch. System image and OTA package are both available from the above link.

Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] vnes1984:
WOW, thank you so much. Downloading now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JJHiemenz:
Thanks for posting links like this, makes it so much easier for me (us?) to get updates!

working on installing the updates now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] tiad8:
Oh. What a great weekend this is going to be my friends

downloading now

thank you
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ksper6986:
Thanks dude you are the sh*t keep up the great work
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ksper6986:
ok there are three downloads system image , update ,rootfs. what do i do with the update files
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Update - this is if you have a clean FRX03 system image. You can download it, rename it to update.zip, and drop it where you run haret.exe - it'll update Android for you.

System image - the full FRX04 system image. Delete old system.ext2, replace with this image - rename to system.ext2.

Rootfs - update you'll need as well. rootfs.img is what you need to rename it to. Remove your old rootfs and replace with the new one.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ksper6986:
in other words if i just update system.ext2 and rootfs on a fresh install i dont need update
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
You don't need to update what? I'm confused by your statement.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] AkumaX:
i think he's asking if he replaces his system.ext2 with FRX04's system.ext2, he doesn't need to put the update.zip in the andboot dir (or wherever haret is running),

because replacing system.ext2 is the equivalent of running update.zip to modify FRX03's version of system.ext2

^^ is that right?

also, i have a q: should i just straight up use kernel 1253 (zimage/modules), because the modules in FRX03 are 1202? or should i boot up FRX04 for the 1st time w/ 1202, then load kernel 1253?

p.s. YAY FRX04 IS OUT!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] manekineko:
Anyone know what's new in the rootfs?

Edit: n/m remembered there's a commit log on the build service. This is where ACL's updated gralloc is, as well as other backend changes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] vazarus:
I have fallen behind

Hi everyone. I am a newb to zimages and rootfs and such. I hvae installed xda android but i'm not sure which version I am using. I think it is the ProjectAndroid2.2Froyo.092810.zip but like I said i'm not sure because I had several zips I downloaded and my computer crashed and this was the only one I could salvage. I was using the new startup utility but when I press update it says server not found. So since the FRX04 just came out I figure it't time for me to update everything. What should I install first? Do I need to put FRX02 back on my sdcard and overwrite everything with FRX03 and then overwrite everything with FRX04 or is FRX04 all inclusive? I have titanium backup so if i backup all my stuff can I restore everything or is it better to just redownload all the apps and stuff once I install FRX04? Should I even install FRX04? I can run FRX02 now with only short battery life being an issue so will I lose wifi and sound or anything else by upgrading? Thanks in advance!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I would wait - I gave Reef a complete package with FRX04 and the 1253 kernel with the newest rootfs as well. He'll sprinkle his magic on it and make a cab out of it (which I detest :p) and throw Sov's startup utility in there. Hopefully he'll post it today...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] joetamara:
Getting confused

This is my first post am new but spent months now using your guys stuff. Could use some common sense advice. I have android on 3 devices (diam 500, vogue and rhodium 500) I NAND flashed the Vogue and it is awesome ..everything works and battery life like 3 days(used fat freebuild), used the CAB on the other 2. Questions are the CAB build at beginning of thread doesn't have camera working yet I see you guys refering to one here that does..can't read 1100 pages to figure it all out, I take it the CAB at beginning is not updated so you are using haret install? Also, since the vogue worked so well I have been spending the last 50 hours trying to NAND flash my rhod500 (personal phone) with a working camera build http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=870081 using this post . I built my own NAND packages combining the above post with this android X build http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=904918 and got it up and running but lost camera in the process. where is the best camera working build as this one seem older? I have the feeling someone has done all this and i am wasting my time. Am I ? Battery life on the NAND is not any better than haret (or memory use) and beieve this is because you don't install it using installer like the vogue? Any advice would be appreciated..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pgdrz4:
Im not unstand why every time delete the old system zip i abstract the newer system zip file to andboot folder on storage card, my phone gives my low memory error??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Naadi900:
android.process.acore

I just updated (not OTA, just drag and drop) to FRX04, but since then Android keeps crashing.

"The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

This pops up as soon as I unlock for the first time, and comes back as soon as it rebuilds the homescreen with widgets and shortcuts.

I think I will try and copy the system file again, and otherwise I'll have to delete data.img and try again.

Anyone else experiencing this with the FRX04?

Or any tips that might make it work?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] workingmanbh:
i tried the OTA from the windows mobile tool, and couldn't get the upgrade.

says update not needed and installed/current version is 2010_11_24.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] F22:
Camera Kernel & Library

Rhodium/Diamond development isn't quite as far along as Vogue is at this point. The Vogue port was started much earlier.

Viruscrazy's camera kernel is still experimental and may be found in the raphael subforum along with his modified liboemcamera. The code has not yet been committed to either the haret or nand trees yet so you won't find it in either my kernel builds, reef's reference packages, or the nand package yet.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] F22:
android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly

This is the unfortunately well-known problem wherein system_server puts a strangle-hold on the cpu and refuses to let go, causing other processes to time out. There are several workarounds, but the best is probably to call your voice mail and then hang up. That should cause the problem to go away. The dev team is looking into finding a more permanent solution.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Naadi900:
But the strange thing is that Android seems to run super smooth, I can switch to running apps via Advanced Taskkiller, and they work great, managed to make a backup wit Titanium Backup just now. But can't get the phone dialer to pop up... strange issue. Will try some more tomorrow, late night now..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
That only updates the kernel and rootfs - plus, the autobuild service is down so that update utility doesn't update anything really.

It never updated the system image...

So at this point, that tool is good for making changes to your startup.txt... that's about all it's good for at this point honestly.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
FRX04 packages now. :)

Was going to do it yesterday but my birthday party started very early. LOL

Also manually updated the kernel update tool, you guys should all be seeing a new update for today. :D

The new FRX04

Well, I was lucky to be logged in the forum trying to search for some answers to my quetions when I found that the new FRX04 was released. Thanks to all experts for their hard work to a very late night hours and for long long days.:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ronricoviper:
Everything works great with the FRX04 except for my market downloads. Whenever I try to download an app such as taskiller I get the failed error msg. It happens with every app.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pgdrz4:
huh

i keep trying to download the new build and it wont download:confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pgdrz4:
OMG

Now i downloaded the rar files, and it runs but no Internet connection???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sb283:
This did not work in my case. It complained on invalid command line option and stopped. In my case, I googled this and it worked perfectly:

msm_sdcc.msmsdcc_fmax=14000000

According to androidonhtc wiki, this is "The maximum frequency (in Hz) used by the SD controller". I have an old SanDisk 2 GB microSD card. Without this option I was getting an error message that was saying that it could not mount the SD card because there was CRC error when reading the partition table, or something like that...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sb283:
Other than that, the 1/23 update works perfectly. The batery lasts forever with pm.sleep_mode=1 (HTC Touch Pro 2, CDMA version from Sprint)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bijan588:
How do I update? I used the update tool... is that ok?

In my case, it was okey... only camera didnt work, but I dont think, it has sth. with the update tool

Hi

I am sorry if this was already covered - but I have a problem with syncing android contacts with Facebook contacts....

This is both on FRX03 and FRX04.

I check on Motorola Milestone - and there Facebook app habe SYNC oprion in setting. When I download the Facebook App on FRX03/04 - the SYNC option is missing.

Any idea?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reiko:
Yep... Everything works... Mic and speaker perfekty work while phonin...Switching works perfekty like it should.

No nessecery for calling voicemail for mic-init...

PS: Sorry, my english is sooo bad :eek:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jphaus:
Mic is not working for me in FRX04. It was working just fine in FRX03 with 1253 updates. I'm talking about voice commands like Google voice search, etc. Phone calls work fine (I have not tried speakerphone with anyone yet). Sprint Rhod400.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Deafcyclist:
Having the same issue. CAB install failed on me so I followed the instruction and put all of the files from the RAR to the proper place. but now I'm not sure how to fix the data connection (data is enabled but when searching for network, it does so continiously without finding anything) and how to get the keyboard layout to match my Tilt2. Couldn't find the instruction on the first page and the download site.

::EDIT:: forgot to mention that this is the first time that I'm trying out the RAR version

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Deafcyclist:
Thanks! I had some issue getting the app to show up in the start menu so I forgot about the one that was bundled with the RAR FRXO4. Is there any reason why the app would not show up even though i've followed the instruction of putting the folder into the Program folder in the root of the SD card?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ActorMike:
Works Great on my TP2

I did a clean install with the .rar file on my Sprint Touch Pro 2 with the Sim Card removed. Some of the things others described having problems with work fine. For example.

1) Marketplace works

2) Voice Commands work

also, I noticed that the backlight on the keyboard works now! Awesome.

a tip for those with log GPS lock times, I use Quick GPS in Windows to download the satelites once a week and it locks on instantly in android.

Problem with the power drain...

I have applied the FRX04 using the rar file as the cab file didn't installed. Everything is fine from the internet to the network, "still testing others" but after putting the mobile to the standby the led goes green from orange "which indicates a good condition of battery drain as described in the FAQ" but after making any change in the setting menu such as enabling the data connection, then sending the mobile to standby, the led keeps on orange and the battery dies after 3 hours from full charge, even after I disabled the data connection, the led stay on orange, I was facing this issue on FRX03 too, any advice? I really want to keep using the Android but this issue draining my battery, thanks to all and specially to the developers..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pgdrz4:
worked thanks! :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] tomdeaap:
Yeah, you need to copy the .exe in the WinMo explorer, and do "menu->edit->paste shotcut" in the "Windows\Start Menu" folder.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] xtremetactics:
Using Rhod400 with Frx04 and I must say, having a great expierence so far. I am using the 1/23 camera kernel. Haven't had a crash reboot or anything since yesterday and everything is still running like it should. Battery for me is much better but I think my battery is warn out. I hand it to the dev's you guys are doing some awesome work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] AkumaX:
is there a kernel/build where you can actually playback videos (either on youtube or downloaded mp4's)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I can play YouTube on any of the newer kernels... Only HQ YouTube doesn't work for me. SD YouTube works flawlessly...

No clue about downloaded MP4's, I haven't put any media on the device yet.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] macaffi973:
same here....the led goes orange even in airplane mode, very strange. I would really like to understand why, this problem is a major drawback for android on HTC TP2. I noticed that the battery consuption panel gives "system 99%, phone in standby 2%", even if the phone has been in standby most of the time.

I guess that we have to fiddle with the sleep mode parameter in the setup.txt file, but I haven't done it yet. I will post the results when done.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Probably related to the system_server bug. Make sure that it isn't pegging your processor.

I completely agree that it's a big issue - devs are looking hard at it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] highlandsun:
Interestingly enough, the G1 devs are also trying to track down a 100% System use bug. Seems like this is just a mess in all the Froyo builds.

It wasn't hitting my G1 for a while, but now I'm seeing it all the time. Have no idea what that means. ps doesn't show any new/suspicious processes running. On my TP2 I'm not sure I've seen system_server eating up the CPU, but it's definitely got problems going to sleep, drains the battery in only a few hours on standby.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I always look at it thru ADB at 'top'. I'm sure ps would show it as well tho - it's an essential process to Android, seems to handle a lot of back-end things (you can tell I know very little about the process myself :p).

However, there is a 'feature' in Dev Tools - "Crash System Server" - so it seems this has been an issue for a while.

i have never been able to get wifi working. i have tried turning wifi on then booting android which does nothing. i have tried several different kernals but none have got wifi working. i have tried writing my mac address in the startup.txt which also does nothing, still says mac address unavailable. could it be the WM6.5 rom i use or my device? i have task 29'd and formated my card but still nothing. do i need to manually mount the wifi driver? i thought it might be the package i was using till i upgraded to 1/23 but i still cannot get wifi to run.
