Sorry to be a PITA but I'm confused...

I have a SIM-free TP2 bought in the UK with a UK keyboard.

I've downloaded the latest Rh100uk/fr/gr cab and edited \sdcard\android\startup.txt so that physkeyboard=Rhod100uk. However, the keys do not quite work properly. FN key gives an @ for example.

I'm sure I had a previous version where the FN key worked fine.

Am I using the wrong version? How can I tell which cab I should be using?

Also, are there differences between the cabs WRT WiFi support? Because WiFi doesn't work for me. It fails to turn on every time I try saying "Unable to start Wi-Fi".

One maybe significant error I can see via dmesg is:

tiwlan_module_init: Timed outwaiting for device detect.

Where am I going wrong?

R.

Alright, I'm not a noob at this by any means. I'm running a Rhod400 with the ProjectAndroid2.2Blazn.092810 cab right now, and everything is installed and placed correctly, I made sure of that. However, I got a new device today from asurion because I cracked the LCD in my last device, but when I install the cab it won't boot. It will get to the end of the Haret progress bar and my **** freezes and only hitting the reset botton under the battery cover, or taking out the battery will clear it. I've tried booting with the 092810 version and then I tried updating the software and neither work. I'm like "WTF" This is the same cab I was running on my previous tp2 along with the GenY-DualBoot-v1.0.6.0 cab. I tried both ways and nothing works. I'm at a loss and have no idea on what to do...

been using this project for a long time now... i know that this is a project and wasnt intended for our phones but i was wondering does anybody's run as smooth as a native android device? im using the latest blazn rar on tilt 2 & mine is always kinda slow navigating thru pages, among other things. i am, however, using a 2gb card that ive had since my original tilt that ive never formatted, ever. is anyone's running hella smooth???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] byuboy87:
^^^^btw... i only use 3 homescreens, about 5 widgets, & a couple icons... but its slow even on fresh install...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] fishingmedic:
Maybe try reformatting the card. Couldn't hurt except for taking a little time. I just updated last night and having issues w/ force closes like crazy so I went back to the 10/11 kernel and it's working better now, so don't know if that's what's causing your problem too (I'm on Rhod400 also). Try reformatting, re d/l the cab and see if that fixes it.

Can't say that mine is running like an Evo or Epic, lol, but it's smooth and fast, even if I'm not OC'ing. I'm on a rhod400, Blazn cab w/ updated kernel/zimage.

Since I updated xdandroid with the XDAndroid Startup Utility v1.3 to the 18 Oct version;

My power button no longer brings me to my homescreen, but now it shuts my phone in standby (the same as the 'end call' button).

So I have no way to go to my homescreen (except of hitting; back, back, back, back, ...)

Is there a fix or something for this? ;)

Okay, for those of us on verizon I have found the correct settings to send mms, still haven't found what we need to recieve but this is a start:

Go to Settings -> Wireless Controls -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> Android

Modify the following settings:

MMSC: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=<your ten-digit phone number>

MMS proxy: leave empty

MMS port: 80

:)

PS don't put these in <> just your number

I have the Rhod400 and running it on a 2GB card and it is relatively slow compared to when I was running it on a 8GB sdhc card. I would recommend getting a High Capacity card as they tend to run quicker. Only reason I am running on a 2Gb card is because I fried my 8GB and waiting for my 16GB to come in
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] killercavy:
I have a vzw tp2 with medium oc:, and with all the latest installed on my 8gb it is pretty close to my wifes droid eris. There are a few things that lag a little. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] contributor_M:
Yeah this works.

Would love a dedicated home screen button like it was before though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
... you have one with that trick, it's called the 'end key'...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] killercavy:
before you could press home key twice and it would give all your screens or long press and recent programs come up. this doesn't work with the end key!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] armyguy422:
No, I haven't tried turning the overclock down. i have tried inserting and uninserting the sim, I've tried uninstaling, deleting and downloading a new cab. as soon as it hits the end of the haret load bar it vibrates twice like it's going to boot and then it's just ****ed. I really haven't tried reformatting the sd card, however I can't really do that because I have no way to back it up at the moment. No pc... The card is your standard 8gb sandisk. Probably cheap as hell, but it works for me. I've even tried moving the andboot file contents to the root of the sd card and rerouting the boot path... Same end result.

I retract my statement. PROPS GOES OUT TO YOU NAADI900. I turned down the overclocking and it booted right up. Any one have any idea what might have caused this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sotodefonk:
hi, just tested this yesterday and im very impressed with the overall speed of the port.. but I just have one problem... my wifi doesnt work, although the Op says it should work out of the box.

I searched and read somewhere it could work if I changed the rootfs, it wouldnt work. Also changed my router key to WPA instead of WEP and it still doesnt work. It just start to search new connections and then says it cant search and turn wifi off.

Does anyone know what should I do in order to get wifi working? I have a Touch Pro 2 from T mobile, i believe its the rhod210 on the launcher...

Thanks in advance

XDAndroid Startup Utility

*IF YOU HAVE DOWNLOADED v1.2.4b3 JUST RECENTLY, PLEASE REINSTALL WITH v1.3. I noticed there were still a lot of downloads of v1.2.4b3 a day after posting v1.3 at my thread HERE. I'm guessing it's because I didn't update the page at Reefer's Project Android website until a day later. THANKS!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Oh... no it doesn't do this any longer. We don't have enough keys basically... perhaps they need to scrap the answer call button and use it as something else like home or menu since there isn't one of these buttons on most native android phones.

I've heard that certain TP2's just don't play nice with wifi. Not sure why tho. WEP definitely doesn't work, and is extremely insecure - may as well just run an open network.

With that said, you may want to open your network just to make sure that wifi works at all. I know if you update the zImage (kernel) without updating the associated modules file, it definitely breaks wifi.

So perhaps you should try updating your build to the newest - although if you've downloaded this in the last few days, the newest builds are fairly up-to-date...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] contributor_M:

Wifi works fine for me. Connected to my wireless at home, and it picks up wireless networks here at work and abroad.

We are just stating that our personal preference as the operator of our phone is that the old button layout was preferable to us, know one but you said anything negative. we are all happy with the hard work the devs have put in. merely a suggestion on what seems to us to be the most functional button layout

thanks

For some reason overclocking doesn't play nice with my phone (thats what toasted my 8gb SD card). When I first turned on overclocking, my phone got stuck and wouldn't boot past the linux screen complaining about not being able to find ext2. After an hour of waiting, I reset my phone and my SD card became useless, my phone couldn't recognize it, when I plugged it into my computer via a USB SD reader adapter, it would freeze my system up because my system was struggleing trying to read it. After that, I will never turn overclocking on. This was on my Rhod400 (Sprint TP2)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
LOL no negativity, I was simply making a suggestion for a solution - but there really isn't a perfect solution that's going to make everyone happy. Some people like the new layout, it's more how WinMo functions. Others prefer the old layout because of the additional functionality. I personally never used the extra functionality, so I like the new layout.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sotodefonk:
It definetly is something with my model or something, because I already tried to connect to an open network and it wont work either.

I spend the last hour changing the kernels and none work (I just extracted both the modules****tar.gz and leaved with all the numbers and letters in the name, and the zImage overwriting the last one, maybe i need to change something else that I am not aware of). I guess my rhodium is one of those devices that refuses to work :confused:

It just tried to search and then a message appears, something like, cant search for networks and then wifi turns off.

Hopefully someone had the same problem and found a fix...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] contributor_M:
Doesn't it kind of defeat the purpose if there are two buttons that does the exact same thing?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
If you remap the end key to home it means you don't have two buttons that do the same thing...

Hrm... Well you shouldn't extract the modules file - if you are. Leave it as a .tar.gz, don't rename it. Rename the zImage to just that - zImage, no file extension. Seems like you've done this all correctly, in which case you may be one of the unlucky few.

Perhaps if you're familiar with adb you can submit a logcat or a dmesg to a dev and it would help... Not sure what else you can try at this point.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sotodefonk:
No , I meant I extracted both files from the zip. Unfortunatly Im not familiar with any of those things you mention :( (this is just new for me). Thanks anyway for the help :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] villa15:
You r not the only one my brother, i've been having the same problem from day one, no wifi on my rhod 210. Nothing works for me, i've give up on it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Well that would be about the only way. Start in #xdandroid on IRC, we can help you get adb setup. Then if there's no devs in that channel, #htc-linux is a good place to go to get dev help - just be warned, that channel is reserved for dev chatter!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] radon222:
You all put an awful lot of work into these ports and should be commended:cool:

I updated to the most recent Blazn build this morning, and have found the fixes for the "home" function...thank you!

One problem that I do have and had in the Oct 4 build... on incoming calls I only get one audible ring?? Then its silent until I either pick up or the miss the call entirely.

Is there some setting that missing somewhere...or just another bug to report. Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] uub11:
I have a rhod210 and haven't had a issue with wifi, honestly the best bet if you haven't already yet is to do a clean install i'm probably going to have to do one because the apps i uninstall always reinstall themselves when i log out and back into android
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] villa15:
Thanks for your response, but i've tried all of that that, even got a new memory card. the same effect all the time, no wifi, just say unable to scan then it goes out.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] armyguy422:
Well, see the thing is with my old device the overclocking worked great, even at max. i turned it down to modest this morning and it booted up quite nicely. The processes were slower than ****, but it worked. i turned it back up to max and it wouldn't boot. i turned it on medium, and it booted but once again the processes were slow as hell. idk what's going on with it. i'm actually confused as to how the overclocking has anything to do with it, but i'm going to try max one more time if it doesn't work then obviously I found my problem and know the setting to boot with. Thanks to all of you who helped me figure this out. maybe we should have a developer try to figure out what could've caused it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] contributor_M:
Wouldn't want to risk overclocking with this phone. On the newer ones though, that's a different story.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] captobie:
One thing I've noticed is that Android runs as smooth as butter, except when it's trying to do something in the background. I'll be cruising along, scrolling smoothly through screens, and then everything will come to a screeching halt while some background process works (like account syncing).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] RealReality:
² that :)

First I thought it was a minor bug that got introduced due to the update, but seems the devs made this change on purpose.

Would it be possible to optionally change the mapping back to the way it was before? (was very useful in Launcher Pro to check out all the screens and go back to my homescreen easily... :))

Anyway, kudos for all your hard work and effort put into this project,

I would've gotten rid of my phone if it weren't for this...

XDAndroid with max overclocking is more stable than WM6.5+HTC Sense on my TP2 !!

It's pretty smooth here. Even when i'm not overclocking to preserve battery. And i have about 50 apps downloaded that run flawlessly.

Are you using advanced task killer? The only time my device lags is when the ram gets under 30mb.

Overclocking works fine, just don't over do it. i usually run it at 748Mhz without any problems. Although the battery life is very bad.

@armyguy422: The following is not referring to processes being slow within Android...

I'm seeing a lot of people still talking about oveclocking levels as "modest", "medium", and so forth. I'm assuming those references are refering to an old depricated version of XDAndroid Startup. Those references were left behind a long time ago. (Unrelated the Android system specifically) Make sure you are running the latest version of XDAndroid startup v1.3 HERE

There were two kernel updates yesterday, and two rootfs updates too! One of the kernel updates was related to the Home key, but I don't think for our beloved rhodiums.

However, the rootfs update also mentions home key layouts - has anyone tried them yet to see if they fix the power button doing nothing, or the limited functionality of the home key?

I won't be able to try them till this evening :-(

P.S. If you use facebook I'd recommend 'like'ing XDA Android as kernel updates etc will appear in your news feed.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yea, you're in a bootloop. Delete the data.img & try try again.

Power button is power. If you don't remap the end key to home, it will put the phone to sleep & nothing else. The devs keep rearranging the keys because people keep telling the devs this or that doesn't work, and they seem to be pushing updates like banshees to catch up. I guess I should try the newest madness, see if it's broken or not...

Usually this is from the force cdma command being set wrong. If you're cdma, it should =1, if you're gsm it should =0. I'm not sure how many more times I'm going to say that, but I should probably just put it on my clipboard so I can paste it in every time this question comes up...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
I think I should clarify what everyone's saying about the "Power" & "End Call" buttons, just to make sure everyone's on the same page.

Personally, I don't mind the keys either way, though the new way makes more sense to me, intuitively (Power = Power, etc). HOWEVER - there is one thing that is missing - the function that was previously "Power Key Long Press". It makes sense that it should turn off the device, which I think everyone appreciates & understands. I think where everyone is confused (me included, perhaps), is why wasn't "End Call Long Press" adjusted so that it has the functionality that "Power Key Long Press" previously had. At this point, a long press on either brings up the "Shut Down" menu. I believe that's where the confusion is, and the statement that 'two buttons are doing the same thing', since quite a few people (myself included) used that functionality.

I hope that clarifies it for everyone. The big question really is - can we get that functionality back?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JimboJoe:
To be complete, we must add that on RHOD100, the power key is now mapped to... nothing.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] KenDB3:
I had this same exact problem. I have it set to Force CDMA, and the first time I ever ran Android, it worked perfectly. Every subsequent time it did not get a network connection with Verizon. I had to go back to removing the Verizon SIM Card from the phone, and now I just leave it out. As long as there is no SIM Card, it always finds the Verizon Network signal.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Since when does Verizon use SIM cards...? If you're using CDMA, it's my understanding that you can't have a SIM plugged in - even if you use it for roaming in WinMo, only one radio at a time is supported in Android (currently).

Yes, I see what you're saying. I guess a list of recent apps was useless to me, so I never used it. The screen preview was cool, but not necessary IMHO.

Either way, I don't think the end call button can be mapped as the power button was - in respect to the long press functionality. I'm not sure what the right answer is, as either way someone loses - we just don't have the correct buttons as native Android devices do :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] KenDB3:
The TP2 I think may have been the first device on VZW to have a SIM Card. It's because they market it as a World Phone. When I was using strictly WinMo, I always had the card in. When I remove the card and boot up, it asks if I want to go into CDMA Only mode. When I pop the SIM Card back in and reboot, it asks if I want to go into Global mode.

Before the Froyo builds I was running the Hero build that had HTC Sense on it. It ran horribly slow and was super buggy. But the one thing that was stated back then was if you wanted CDMA to work on the TP2, you had 1) set it to force CDMA in the startup.txt and 2) You had to remove the SIM card at least once.

I guess some people were lucky enough to where if you booted without the SIM card in there once, it would let you pop it back in and it wouldn't give you trouble again. My phone was never like that. So, when I loaded up the new Froyo build, I left it in to see what would happen, and it picked up Network signal. Next 5 or 6 boots, no go. Took out the card, and it worked like a charm.

It generally doesn't matter for me whether or not I have the SIM Card in anyway, because like you said, it uses one radio at a time. I think the only benefit to having the SIM in, is if you are roaming outside the VZW service area, you can actually roam on GSM towers as well (or at least what I have been led to believe). If I'm ever outside of New England for some reason, I'll pop it back in (just in case). But, I have no need for it in the areas I stay in the most. So now that I have a fairly good build of Android to play with, I just keep it out.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Not the first, but one of the first - I realize why they do it, I just was wondering why you were doing it - if you were actually using it.

Perhaps you can try popping in the SIM after booting, but again you can only use one radio so either way it doesn't do you a whole lot of good.

I've also heard you should be able to roam on GSM - let me know if that does works, maybe a good reason to try and find a SIM. Sprint gave me my TP2 refurbished, so no SIM :(
