Let me offer some assistance here.

First off, welcome to the forums.

The way the threads work is that the first page of any thread will generally contain most of the information you're going to need. Best bet is to read the entire first page, and see if your questions are answered there (usually there are manuals, FAQs, important links, etc. on the first page). Then you'll likely want to check the last few pages of the topic, to see if there are new/recent developments that haven't been updated on the first page yet. If you can't find your answer there, there's an option to "Search this Thread", which is usually very helpful in finding answers (if you use the appropriate keywords).

I'll level with you, though - sometimes it's difficult to find exactly what you're looking for, if you really don't know how to look for it. So at that point, posting your question in the thread is fine. However, you may have to be prepared for some mild "flaming" if your question has been answered in the thread (especially if the answer is on the 1st page, or easily findable using the Search option). One of the forum rules is to "Search before posting". Please keep this in mind.

Now, on to your question - How do you make sure you're up to date?

This is from post #2:

Following that link will take you to a page that lists the following:

Current XDAndroid Builds (links back to this thread)

Current Android 2.1 with HTC Sense Builds

Current Kernel Builds (also known as "zImage" & "modules")

Current rootfs Builds

Current initrd.gz Builds

All you need to do is download the latest versions of the kernel & rootfs, and replace the versions that were included in the original bundle (there may also be a more recent initrd). That will ensure you're up to date. NOTE: There is a recent XDANDROID system update that was just posted. It is linked to in this post, if you'd like to be completely up to date (which is better, trust me).

Auto-Backlight on your device should be under Settings -> System -> Power -> Backlight (this is, however, dependent on the ROM you're running). That's where it is on mine, at least - if you're using 6.1, it'll be slightly different.

is there a way to stop xdandroid from creating thumbnails?

everytime i run xdandroid, it creates a folder in my pictures folder (dcim) called thumbnails which is just identicle copies (abeit smaller) of the pictures i have on my sd card
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] slickdaddy96:
No, the instructions simply tell you to rename it to update.zip not to unzip it. Was I supposed to?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] vnes1984:
You only need to delete your data.img when the package is signed. This does not apply to this system image update so there is no need to delete it. However, if you want to lose your apps and settings then by all means...

I have the latest rootfs, and the startup line for the keyboard is

but the keyboard key map isn't right. The top keys give me numbers.

I am on the tilt 2, the key map works on my caynogenmod version.

I probably will be the first one to try lol. I pretty much use Android full time now except if I need to check my Lotus email then I have to boot into WM. While I'm in windows I usually still end up doing that VM trick so I can use TiKL and Vlingo.

Linux is case-sensitive. Try using a lower-case "t" instead of a capital "T" for tilt2 on the startup line.

That FAQ doesn't say anything about OTA updates, so I wrote xdandroid.com/wiki/Over-the-air_programming (sorry, I haven't been verified for posting links).

Something we do at work: when asked a question, put the answer in the wiki, then point everyone to the wiki. (Unfortunately we have many wikis to choose from: xdandroid.com/wiki, wiki.xda-developers.com, androidonhtc.com, wiki.ppcgeeks.com.)

then stop viewing the pictures and wallpapers in Android then.. it creates thumbnails to load quicker when you wanna view the thumbnails in the Gallery.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Sherri1023:
After trying the new FRX03 build on my HTC TILT 2 I had realize how fast it now goes but it could also be the new 8GB SD-Card I just got. The new build works great so far and hope to see more builds like this.

Upcoming fixes I will like to see is when you restart phone and reboot into Android and you finally get to the lock screen why is it always in landscape mode should it be in

portrait mode. The next thing I will like to see fix is stability with apps and launchers and so on.But this may stop doing this in the new build i had just got to test it out more today.

Know issues:

Lockscreen of Dim light death (Found a Solution for that.)

Startup Lockscreen always in landscape and not and portrait mode when booting up to the Android system. (Not a big deal)Just change

i tried updating and its not working. did exacly what he said and renamed file then started haret. Android will not start on my device. Tilt2. i keep getting error "The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Didja delete your data.img? Because you need a new one with system image updates... At least 99.9% of the time I'd say you need a new one.

On the thumbnail issue, I've never opened my pictures in Android yet it still creates all the thumbnails in DCIM/.thumbnails at some point... A minor annoyance because my WinMo rom then sees the pictures twice, both in its orig location and in .thumbnails
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Gosh, aren't you just so helpful :rolleyes:

Well, I have a brute-force method of solving your problem - just how we solved the .rec files from bugging us on the root of the SD, you should be able to do the same thing with these files. Hopefully the command gets run at the proper time...

In the froyo.user.conf in the conf folder, put 'rm -rf /sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails' in the custom configs section. Not pretty, but hopefully it solves this minor annoyance for you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
weird.. like i said, for me, it ONLY creates thumbnails IF i try to view pics and wallpapers.. hopefully the solution above will help u out.

You really are not helpful.

There's a thread on PPCG that goes over how to enable flash. Not sure how well it works, I haven't tried it myself. Our hardware is pretty old, so no guarantees :p

As for your wlan... I've heard of that before, but haven't been able to personally reproduce it...

Go to the autobuild sites and grab the pieces individually? There's directions in the FAQ I believe...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Sherri1023:
Dude you getting annoying everyday and i will be trying to see if the Adobe Flash app would work for our devices.The next thing is that you can always be helpful if the job is small or big as long as you are able to help someone but you always putting someone else down and crap and to me that is consider rude and crap.

If you don't have anything helpful to say, how about just don't post? You have spread more lies in this thread (and others!) than anyone else, and that's just dangerous.

Hey I know I'm guilty of being a noob, an eccentric, and a-hole, and other things too, guys, but SERIOUSLY let's try to stay on topic. This is an android development thread. Maybe we should start a "wall of shame" for stupid topics. Other threads have 'em. Maybe we should too. Til then, come on folks, let's stay relevant and useful.

PM your squabbles.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Naadi900:
To come back on topic:

The Rhod100 issues. I have tried the newest system.exe as a complete fresh build.

So deleted data.img, added newest kernels, rootfs.

Booted via Haret.exe, got stuck again after vibrating.

I think I've mentioned it before, but i'll say it again:

There is a new data.img created...

So the booting is in progress while it's stuck!

Then, after replacing the newest kernels with the working 10/23 kernels i booted without deleting the data.img created by the first boot. It booted up fine without creating a new data.img.

So, as a non programmer i would say the display drivers arent kicked in or something like that. If I'm wrong I dont care, just trying everything i can think of :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Atmosphere:
I have a Rhod100uk... I don't seem to be having the issues as much as i used to. The thing that annoyed me absolutely the most, and which rendered the phone useless... was that in the previous kernels it would freeze up the GSM radio somehow.. so you receive something, but you don't. You don't get it on the reboot either... you just have MANY people asking you: "But didn't you get my sms??" or "I phoned, but you didn't answer"... when it was lying RIGHT NEXT to me

I manually updated to:

htc-msm-linux-20101111_213418-package

rootfs-20101115-42b44e2.zip

initrd-20100813-b11116a.gz

It was stable enough again to be usable.

Last night I thought i'd try the new FRX03... DONT

4 out of 5 people who called me got cut off in middle of the call.. the phone just went dead. So i loaded the previous EXT2 again. and it became usable again.

I sometimes have boot issues... where its EXTREMELY slow. Everything becomes unresponsive... then i shutdown, reboot... and then it's usually fast again.

Hope it helps someone
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] aberry:
Your exactly right, but in defense of arrgghhh he works directly with the developers and has extensive knowledge of these builds. All of you should read the irc logs if you really want to be up to date with what's going on.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
Someone else said that when they did this with the same rhod100 issue, they seemed to get a text message. I tried this earlier when I did a new build using reference and the new system file, but I cocked up creating a 1GB data.img (forgot to format it!). When I tried to ring my phone ~5 minutes after the boot started, it was 'engaged'.

I wonder if you might try it and see what happens, to see if the phone is functioning, but the screen hadn't updated?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Naadi900:
Weird!

I have the exact same files and phone (rhod100_uk) and it does not boot at all with any kernel after 10/23..

Gonna format my sdcard again soon, and try again..

@snalbansed

Gooing to try that as well.

So just call the phone when it's stuck on the haret.exe screen?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
Yes, I thought that might give us an indication as to whether it actually goes the whole way through to home sceen even though we can't see it. I should do it myself really!

I have to say though, my current build is the most stable so far! No crashes, reboots or losing the data connection all day! I don't know if it using the reference build rather than the BLAZN build of Reefermatness, or whether it is using the new system file. Or whether I have just been lucky and tomorrow it will all be bad again! It isn't the lack of overclocking, as I wasn't overclocking BLAZN either.

Any chance Reefermattness can be pursuaded to put this on his FAQ website, or give someone else permissions to do so? Or has he taken leave of the forums for a while? Or just this one? I know he has moved on from the TP2 for his own phone, but we'd still appreaciate his help with ours!

FRX03 is a HUGE stability improvement over the previous system.ext2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
Ok, I did do it myself, and the call didn't go through. So how ever far the rhod100 does get with the post 23rd October kernels, it doesn't seem to connect to the cellular network.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
That's really odd, my experience was basically the opposite. I had a few times where the system was slow and it would prevent me from answering the phone... After you do your first boot (data.img created), let it sit for a couple minutes, then reboot it again. For whatever reason there's a few times where I've had the phone boot and there's a process that just pegs the processor. If that happens, not much else on the phone can occur.

All I have to say is see the Development Team page on the XDAndroid site...

Let me level with you - you said one of the builds had a virus, you said our builds weren't rooted... I can go on. You've done more hurt than help, and I've definitely noticed. Honestly, if you don't know just don't answer. I don't post unless I think I can help... And if I know what I type is the truth (to the best of my knowledge). You just seem to post for the sake of posting.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pgdrz4:
ok did i do this right

ok what i did was went to anboot folder where haret etc is and added the new fx03 thingy .zip and changed the name to update.zip like he said and deleted the data file. then booted haret. after booting haret its as if i just download android and now i have a new data thing in the anboot folder with haret etc. am i now updated to FX03?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] minikirchner:
Ever since I updated to FRX03, when the battery gets about lower than 15%, my phone slows down immensely. Almost to the point where I can't do anything. It'll take a minute to load something. I didn't know if anyone else had the same problem. Now that i've been using Titanium backup, i might just do a clean install. I just know it didn't do it when I had the BLAZN builds. Or my phone just doesn't like me ;)

Update: I haven't tried it without overclocking yet (700). It has happened 4 consecutive times without any programs running so I know it isn't the software. Idk if that helps anyone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] vinceweis:
arrrghhh, rest assured there are those of us here that respect and heed your advice and knowledge of this project. Don't let an uninformed user upset you. We need you here. I don't understand where Sherri1023's signature comes from stating "XDANDROID Team". I see you on IRC testing all the time. I don't recall a contribution from Sherri1023.

Please spend your time helping those of us who appreciate it and not on those who don't. The worst thing that can happen for the rest of us is for the true development team to get pissed off and call it quits. Thanks for your contributions.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Try it w/o the OC, see if it still happens. I know the phone goes into freakout mode below 15%, so that may be contributing to it. The battery commits probably need to be cleaned up somewhat as well...

Should be. Go to Settings -> About Phone -> Near the bottom should have what system image it is!

Uhm... did you read my post?!? Look at "Build number" - it's the very last item in "About Phone" - right below Kernel version....

I'm not on the 'official' image, I'll download it and make sure...

Confirmed. On the official signed FRX03 system image, all I have in the "Build number" box is FRX03.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] rr5678:
I have a problem. This build seems to be going slower than the previous stuff. And I mean really slow. Slow to the point that the dialer can't even be used. I tried rebooting 10 times and making a new data.img too.

Oh the irony.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Hrm. Honestly the only time I had this issue was when I disabled JIT manually via ADB. With the new system image, everything was so much better.

So delete your data.img, let it boot and let the phone sit until it goes to sleep. Don't touch it until you see that LED go green. Then pick it up, use it... see how it works. Not sure why it didn't work for you before tho... That's my best guess, you tried to use it while something in the background was chuggin hard. There's still some kernel code that needs to be cleaned up, but as always make sure you're completely updated ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] toadlife:
I've been having this happen to me too. Sometimes when I boot up, the phone will be extremely sluggish, to the point of being practically unusable. Sometimes several reboots are required to fix the problem. Once it boots properly, it's been running really well though!

Running FRX03 with kernel 20101111_213418 and rootfs 20101115-42b44e2 (latest as of now)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ebaymarcaro:
I'm having trouble running the newest versions of FRX02. I installed a version of android several months ago, but uninstalled and removed all files from my sd card. Now that more features have been implemented, I wanted to test out this newest version. The problem is my phone freezes whenever I try to first run FRX02. I've tried running the cab file from the base directory of my sd card. This causes my phone to just reboot into windows. Next I tried downloading the files and copying them to the base directory of my sd card. When I run Haret.exe, the booting linux window and progress bar shows up, but once at 100%, the screen freezes with the taskbar of my windows screen being duplicated at the bottom of my screen. I have to pull out the battery to reboot windows.

I'm currently running Win 6.5 on a sprint TP2. I have the phone overclocked. Not sure if the windows overclocking is causing issues. The only difference in my phone an OS from when I was able to run android several months ago is that I now have the phone overclocked. Has any one else experienced a similar issue, could it be the OC'ing?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] captobie:
Then why not just try starting without being overclocked? There have been lots of reports that Android won't boot with WinMo overclocked.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
That's odd - that is the behaviour us rhod100 people have been having with the new kernels. However, it isn't going to be the issue you have because a/ you don't have a rhod100, and b/ it appears you are using the FRX02 build without updates and therefore the kernel is too old to cause the rhod100 problem!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ebaymarcaro:
Now I feel pretty dumb. Yes, removing the OC'ing did fix the issue. I looked a little for similar reported issues, but didn't see any prior posts. Funny, after rebooting with the OC'ing uninstalled, I don't think I notice much of a speed loss. Not sure what I was gaining before.

What am I doing wrong? I downloaded the FRX03 system.ext2 file from arrrrggghh's link (megaupload) and I replaced it with the one that is currently on my sd card.
