bmhome1 - FindMe has been taken off the Market. Any chance you could provide an apk?

Thanks much.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pdawg17:
I just applied the new zImage on my Sprint TP2 and found that:

- external speaker works

- in-call volume adjustments when using hardware keys works

- external mic does NOT work for calls or applications

Is this what others are finding?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I need to test the new zImage! Were you able to fix the mic by calling voicemail in WinMo & leaving the call running whilst you boot Android...?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pdawg17:
Trying now...will report back in a few...

UPDATE: Yes...doing the "trick" you posted does make the external mic work...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JJHiemenz:
I've had what seemed like SOD at times, and was surprised more than once when I plugged the phone into my usb cable or charger that the screen came to life and the phone became usable again.

Battery wasn't low, but somehow plugging it in 'kicked' things back to life.

Bad part is that is hasn't worked every time....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Serren:
I've had less SOD's with Advanced Task Killer set to auto kill level Agressive. Try that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cp19:
I'm not sure if it is exactly the same, but there is an application in the market called "Where am I?" that works pretty well for me. The version I have is made by "Ejelta LLC"
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bmhome1:
Sure, apk attached. It's bizarre it disappeared from Market (and AppBrain.com where originally found, a sensational service btw for finding best apps via web browser that links cleverly to Market and keeps inventory of all apps installed.)

I'm sure there's others, but Find Me reminds me of Quick GPS on WM, where it uses cell towers for immediate location then GPS L&L after finding sattelite fix. I also like it's integration into Maps...that may be the issue.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Lennyz1988:
What do you guys mean by SOD? (Yeah I know it means)

- Do you mean that the led wil turn red but the screen does not come on? Then try just unlocking it the normal way, the screen is off but you sometimes can just move the lockscreen bar (you just can't see it) and then press the home button (the one on the top).

That works most of the times. Otherwise wait for a few minutes and try again.

But the real SOD's that the tp2 does not come to life never happens for me.

This helped with my Fancy Widget. Fancy Widget had an issue finding my location but now after installing it, I have no problem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] noodles21o2:
reefer posted a while ago saying that we should expect an update thursday or friday (post 8236)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] acidburn2k2:
Hey guys, I am still having a sleeping problem that I thought I was able to fix yesterday. I downloaded 2 task killers (Advance task killer, with the little green logo, and taskiller, with the little red logo) and am running them both at the same with, both set up to auto-kill and to kill apps when screen is off.. When I boot android the very first time, and let it sleep, it sleep with a green light, but then if I start being active on the phone (nothing aggressive, just like a few texts) it starts sleeing with an orange light. Is there anything else I can try?

Also, I am having problems with loading some apps (fancywidget and youtube come to mind) it gives me an error message that says:

"The application Fancy Widget (process com.fancywidget.android) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"

How do I fix this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] khatta:
Thank You ! :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Lennyz1988:
Delete those task killers. They will do more harm then good. With android 2.2 task killer aren't needed anymore. Are you sure that if you delete the task killers android won't go to sleep if you wait for a few minutes?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] alvoryx:
THANK YOU so much for making the sound work

very very nice work, i'll donate something

you're just the man
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] atxbyea:
I choose to quote myself as I did not see any replies and cannot find any information about the problem above.

Has anyone else seen anything similar ?

(Running the 8\30 release btw).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] 19ninety:
See, I rarely have problems with this, often the cause for me is a app running in the background, weather app or bbc news updating or whatever else, using Advance Task Killer to stop those then gives me a nice green light. I also use the task killer to stop apps which otherwise would remain online as often using the little backspace button on my TP2 wont exit an app.

It might be worht noting that even when you put the phone down it will occasionally be doing things on it own, just because your not using doesnt mean its not still active ... the led used to flash before to say you had an sms or a missed call, now it seems to have taken on a different role which perhaps is read into too much. I could also be very wrong like normal ...

The battery life is noticeably better lately, I can leave the phone on over night and it does not go completely flat :p Then again my battery is knackered too and OC'd plus using cpu heavy apps + wifi just sucks it dry :D

Side not about Advanced Task Killer shows no apps, jkAppSwitch still says 9 apps still running... I do love this app for fast switching between running apps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bmhome1:
I had zero luck with anything Android requiring a GPS fix to run properly, and tried numerous GPS locating apps that still took +20 minutes or getting nothing at all.

Find Me eliminated all the frustration and waiting, and made Android GPS locks non-issue.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ActorMike:
The GPS works fine on my Sprint phone in Facebook, Googlemaps, etc. I boot with the including loader, are you using the dual boot by chance?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bmhome1:
I just boot via haret.exe. I tried getting GPS fix in WMo just before booting Android as has been suggested, but didn't help. Maps finding location beyond West African seabed took too long to bother with before.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] noodles21o2:
hey, i know sometimes when i boot android it automatically goes to sleep and just turns black...did you try waking it before restarting.

just curious since i have a similar think happen that isnt actually a problem.

oh and lastly if you install the atuobacklight exe thing then you wont have to worry about turning auto backlight off everytime.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] vnes1984:
I am having trouble powering down android. I hold down the end button, press ok, I get the vibrate and then it just hangs. I'm forced to remove the battery. I've deleted my data.img and done a complete reinstall but still have the same problem. Any suggestions? Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Balajee:
Android right now shutsdown instead of rebooting to windows
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] vnes1984:
Yep, I got that much. Let me try it again. I am unable to shutdown android, it just hangs on the little window that says shutting down
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lilchicano:
known problem, nothing you can do about it now till a new zimage/modules come out that fix it.

maybe its already out but idk since i havent checked for new ones lately
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] michep21:
I've tried using the BlAZN 8/30 build for my CDMA TP2 the last 3 days. Here are some comments/questions.

1. This project has come a long way, but is it anywhere near being usable permamently? NO!

2. Reefermatress said it charges while in android, but it does not. MY phone has completely flatlined the past 2 nights. It has the "plugged in logo" and "charged" all the time.

3. Battery life sucks. I've turned the autobacklight and stuff off as per the FAQ and I use advance task killer to kill all apps. Still it dies in 3 or 4 hours. Battery is DEFINITELY NOT 75% fixed.

4. Which build is more stable? The Blazn OC one or the regular one? I just want to use android permanently, because WM 6.5 is crap--and once you go android you don't like going back.

That said, kudos to Reefermatress hopefully you can get a stable build out soon! Keep doing big things.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] HoleFlow10:
I just used the app "QuickBoot" and made a shortcut to the home page. That way with one press of the icon it soft resets back into windows and I don't have to remove the back cover and perform a soft reset when it hangs on the shutting down screen.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] vnes1984:
Sounds great. I'll give it a try, thank you for the information!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] gmanfuzing:
Is there a definite fix for the random signal loss with the x of death ?

AND

Im also getting random SoD's where the led stays a solid orange and trying the tricks of plugging in the charger or acting as if the screen is on and trying to slide the unlock then press the top home button does nothing

:[ It's really sad, i never used to have these problems but now they constant killers, forcing me to reboot, ALOT.

Its also very random, it could happen in 5 mins, it could happen in 5 hours, but it almost ALWAYS happens before i would willingly reboot.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, I did some searching of up to a month and a half back with no real answers.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JJHiemenz:
1. I tend to agree... but I still use it whenever I can.

2. Not just Reefer, but many others have made this claim, me being one of them. MY Tilt2 does charge while running xdandroid.

3. Yeah... I've only gotten a few hours out of active use browsing the market, messaging and phone use. I'm not sure what I would get doing this in Windows Mobile, as Windows mobiles sucks so much I'm not inclined to use it this way. I have had the phone sit from a Monday morning until a Wednesday morning and the battery went from 100% down to 15% with no use. I think under Windows Mobile I get another day or so out of battery with no use. I think this is subjective though, I have friends with the *cough* iphone *cough* and they always have it plugged in because battery gets eaten when you have wifi,gps on all the time and background apps running all the time.

4. I think they are both the same, just the Blazin one has a different theme and the startup.txt is already configured as overclocked. I use the regular one and added the overclock myself due to some large button issues on the Blazin them that overlap text. (which I read is being fixed in the next package due near week end)

One other item I've noticed.. if I install the 8/30 package (either one) and do NOT install any other apps, the system runs pretty dang good. Therefore, I blame my decreased Tilt2 performance and battery life, etc. on the apps I've chosen to install and use.

Please understand I'm not trying to minimize your issues or say I don't believe you, just passing on another view of the same items from another user with a different rhodium model.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
YAY!!! :cool: thx Reefer, and everyone else apart of this project!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Are you always so negative? If its so horrible go back to winmo.

1. Thats only your opinion.

2. Charging does work, and i know that for a fact. Maybe try a real wall charger and not a usb charger.

3. 75% working is a pretty good estimation. Youve been using it for 3 days and i have for a year so i think i have a better reference point than you. As far as battery life goes - Let me guess youre constantly playing with your phone when youre in android and i bet you dont play with winmo hardly at all do you. ive done a rediculous amout of testing as as stated 20+ hours standby is pretty good. Maybe dont use the overclock and go back to sleep mode 1. youll get more battery that way.

4. They are the same build.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] noodles21o2:
if all you are going to do is complain then you can leave, and while you are out go buy a backflip so that you have a "working" Android phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] atxbyea:
Yeah, I've tried both with the autobacklight.exe and doing it manually, after the XDAndroid bootscreen is done it just stays black no matter what I press of buttons.

Greek Language UI

Does anyone knows how to use Greek Language UI?

the MoreLocale 2 does not gives me this option.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bit1:
1. Wow. I see it as much more useable than Winmo . It's fluid and fast and has rejuvenated my phone's life.

2. I agree with reefer on the charging. I charge mine with a wall outlet at work and home and have no issues but i have noticed that using usb it just says charged but does not seem to really do much.

3. Battery life is great! As reefer says you just tend to use Android more since its so much fun and useable. What apps do you use for fun in Winmo again? Oh, sorry there are none.

4. You were right on target with this one but i prefer running mine stock and some overclock . It's a personal preference. You know if you really want to you can just go out and buy an Android phone.

By the way thanks for all the hard work reefer :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Thulium`:
How can I help? :)

Hello guys,

First of all, great work on the project! I own a Rhodium as well and I'm quite done with WinMo due to excessive crashing and unstable behaviour...

However, I'm studying Computer Science and I'm doing the second year now, and I would like to contribute to the project and get some good programming experience on the way :)

Perhaps I missed the contribute section in the opening post, but can someone tell me how and where I can help?

Kind regards,

Thulium
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lilchicano:
That last statement isnt entirely true since there are some pretty good apps out there, u just gotta find them. like nfs shift, man the one i found is amazing!!! you can compare this to some apps from the iphone or android and it would still come out better. our phones do have the capability but its just that the major companies are lazy to actually make the graphics like they would for android and stuff.

but back on topic, this project has come a looooong way and this whole thing made me actually want to consider an android as the next thing i would get cause i do find WM pretty fun not like a bunch of people that complain about it. just keep up the great work and cant wait for the new release of yours refeer
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cheffe76:
ring tones

Thanks for the post; but I did not really get that. I conducted a media scan as proposed, subsequently the phone started ringing on incoming calls.

But I am still not able to select a diffent ring tone and in addition to that the procedure has to be repeated each time the mobile is turned on. This there a way to overcome that issue?

cheers
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] xtremetactics:
What worked for me was backing up my SD card doing a normal format (not quick) and doing a clean install of the 8/30 cab file, everything that should work per 1st post does and works great.

Anxious to try this new build with all the latest fixes.

Sent from my TP2 with XDA app
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] uub11:
I tried the new zimage and I didn't have any issue with the mic that i can tell of, is anyone else having issues and is it a gsm or cdma cause on the comment line it looked like gsm phones were having that issue not cdma?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] acidburn2k2:
and tell me...except for compllaints, what have YOU contributed to this project to fix those supposed "issues" that you are having?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Star-Lite:
Does anyone know whats the best way to find out why my phone won't go to true sleep?

My led stays amber/orange while it worked just fine 2 days ago. It used to be green with short periods of amber every now and then, but I have hardly seen the led turn green at all today. I have killed every program with the task manager, but that doesn't help as well unfortunately :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] 3daysaside:
Tried the zImage/modules from 9/15, and on my Rhod210 (GSM, TMo) incoming callers cannot hear audio from my mic (tested this by calling myself as well) -- and about 70% of the time they can hear me on an outgoing call.

Currently running:

8/17 .cab

9/15 zI/modules

8/28 rootfs

pm_sleep: 2

Stock clock

Last data.img delete was 7 days ago.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] 3daysaside:
Not to beat a dead flame, but wanted to chime in:

1. Been using this Project on my TP2 almost exclusively for well over a month and a half now. Only boot back to WinMo for the Camera (it'll be an amazing day when/if the devs figure that one out...), to update android files, and to fix the occasional Android issue.

2. My phone charges in android. Sure, it only flashes the charging icon for about 3 seconds, and then says full -- but it's charging here. I've gone back out to WinMo to verify. Of note, unlike what some have experienced, I DO get a 100% charge while in Android, not the 85% thing.

3. Battery life is getting better. The fewer/smarter widgets I use, the more diligent I am about running programs -- I can get up to 13 hours of moderate usage. I'm also running with a stock clock on the BLAZIN build.

4. Like Reef said -- same build. I love the look of BLAZIN and the ease of the programs he added there, and then turn back the clock myself.

And finally, I just want to say thanks to everyone who participates in this. It really is a group project -- which is what irks me when people ask for "Reef" to get a stable build together. There are devs, there are people who have tons of knowledge and contribute, and then there are people like me who test the hell out of it. It's been a blast to work on it so far.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JJHiemenz:
No Service....

The biggest issue I seem to have with the latest builds (the 8/30 cab file and then new Zimage and modules from 9/15) is that I will lose cellular service.

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this. It seems that if I wander into an area where the signal is weak or non-existent, my phone goes into an odd state where I have No service and cannot get out of this state.

The signal strength has a small X and then the empty signal bars. If I try to turn on 'Airplane' mode, it acts as if the phone is stuck trying to disable the cellular radio and the phone never goes into airplane mode.

WiFi is working just fine throughout this period. (except when entering 'airplane' mode, WiFi does turn off, but hangs at turning off cell radio)

If I reboot the phone, the phone will be in airplane mode if I was trying to enter airplane mode when I rebooted, or I have cell radio if I didn't try to enter airplane mode before rebooting. It it was in airplane mode at reboot, I can take it out of airplane mode easily without any seeming hangups and I have service again. It will eventually lock out on me though, but it does appear to only happen if I enter an area where the signal strength is so weak the phone goes into 'No Service', then it seems it cannot come back from this state.

I also notice my led isn't following any pattern any longer. the led stays whatever state it was in when I booted into android. If it was off, it stays off, etc.

I haven't tried deleting data.img and starting over again. I need to find a way to re-install all my .apk files and I would be more willing to try that more quickly. Right now I've removed all task-killers and will see if that has anything to do with this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Serren:
Just to add further defense to the project, not that it needs it, but I have been running Android full time on my phone for about a month. Charging does work. I do have to charge a few hours during the day so the the phone will last the 2nd part of the day, but that is no big deal since I am sitting in front of my work computer all day anyway.

Also, as I mentioned some posts back, if your having sleep of death problems, or similar, try using advanced task killer on auto kill set to Agressive every 30 minutes. Since I have done this, I have been up and running for over three days without having to reboot. This is a record for me. And I use my phone a lot. Before I used the auto kill mode, I was lucky to go 24 hours without having a hard crash or SOD.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] 3daysaside:
I had the same issue (and probably will again sometime) until I recently 'accidentally' deleted my data.img file and started over. I've had some other issues since then, but the whole...x for reception, gets stuck when going to airplane mode, having to reboot thing isn't one of them.

I use Titanium backup for restoring all of my apps and data when I have to delete the data.img and start over.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] 19ninety:
1) Disagree, The only time I use winmo is when loading android

2) Mine charges fine from usb, and lasts easily overnight and a good few hours or frequent usage.

3) FAQ fixes applied, my battery is better than when I first used android.

4) Both equally stable, BLAZN is just tweeked to perform better than the 'stock' edition.

Agreed, kudos to reefer and all the devs :D

Request: Swedish Keyboard Layout?

Is it anyone who can and want to make this request come true? For the moment I use the UK-layout and must use software keyboard to write the Swedish letters - but I would like to use the hardware keyboard to do the same as I have the letters there and when it goes much faster on the HW-keyboard than the TS-keyboard.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] 19ninety:
I generally find that when this happens popping the phone into flight mode then back to normal again fixed this as it forces the phone to reconnect to the data network. Quicker than soft reset.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] HTCdemon:
I dont know if anyone has noticed/tried this out/posted about it... but the rockbox port to android works on rhodium 8/30 build just fine...

Interesting part though is that rockbox reads the battery 100% correctly ( eg: 53% in winmo and 53% rockbox....so on and so forth )

Has anyone looked into how its reading the battery correctly? and if it can be applied to our android builds?

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JBS2:
Had this problem before but after installing 30/08 release it is fixed for me. No data connection loss anymore :)
