Oh, and when I boot originally it comes up in landscape mode, I have to open the phone and close it to get it to switch to portrait... So is there a fix (or patch) for these yet? What about the home icons being changed to the white page/green android? Looks like the generic icon, the Market icon has a "handle" (and resembles a bag) this icon is a white page with the green dude... ALL icons get this image instead of their respective icons... I am using LauncherPro Plus v0.7.8.0 if that matters... Tried the Wifi tethering and didn't work for me, I get 3G, I get Wifi, but not both... I get "Error" after it says "Starting wifi tethering"
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
yea i finally got Windows Vista to install the Android USB driver after plugging in the USB (i think it was cuhz i copied adb & adbwinapi to system32 folder).. steps here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html .. but i think i forgot to check mark something when Vista was finalizing the installation.. something about Google.. but anyways, i got USB debugging mode to work.. but when i go to USB Tether in the Android Settings, it says USB is unplugged.. so i un-checked USB debugging,, my computer restarts and sits on BIOS until i unplug the USB and restart my computer.. whats the deal with that?

and when i pull down the notification bar and hit USB Storage Mode to start it, it just sits there.

Someone earlier mentioned that USB Tether and file transfers works for them (after the SDK install).. check here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8177520&postcount=8315

so whats the deal? but yea, i always Wifi Tether using XDAndroid Tether.. but i Wifi Tether to my Xbox for XBL.. my PC doesn't have a WiFi Card and I don't have an ISP.. so i USB Tether on WM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Landscape on boot is known, and other than opening & closing the keyboard... no fix.

I don't know what you mean by your home icons being changed, but you may want to do the typical delete the data.img - still failing, format the card & start with a fresh build. Still failing... then I'm not sure cuz I've never heard of that issue :p Maybe update LauncherPro? Not sure.

Wifi tethering (using the built-in app) is sketchy - it was literally JUST enabled. The XDA wifi tethering app works MUCH better. I haven't used it in a while tho, I would imagine it still works well.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] m4f1050:
Gotcha. Will search for XDA Wifi Tether... Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Hrm... mayhaps I missed something. You're starting an ActiveSync session in WinMo before booting Android correct?

I gotta try this myself when i get home.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
nope.. no ActiveSync required.. I can boot into Android and THEN plug in the USB, and it'll work (USB debuggin only i guess).

its called XDAndroid Tether.. DL below
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] m4f1050:
Ah! Ok.....without "wifi" ...thanks!

Im also gonna check out barnacles wifi tether to see if it works...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] derride8:
After i download this, what folder do i put it in? Thanks in advance..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] m4f1050:
You can install it or put it in AndroidApps and reboot phone, but it's easier to install it... I use ASTRO then click on the .APK and select App Manager..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
^^ i use this method also to install apk's

but u can place it anywhere on your SD card.. but place it when u put all your apk files to keep your SD card organized and to quickly locate where u put it.. if Android doesn't auto install it for u, use ASTRO (file explorer) to locate your apk, click on it, hit App Manager, hit install, and voila!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] derride8:
where can i find ASTRO?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
are u serious? lol the Market
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] derride8:
Thank u.... :D

Hey peeps

I am pretty new to xda-developers. I also have a Touch Pro 2 and would love to use Android on it. I just have a few questions:

1. Is there a recent step by step guide for a noob like me so I can use all this? :) -edit- forget this1, I should read the wiki before asking questions -/edit-

2. Is it correct that you don't really install Android but it is more like booting the OS from the sd-card or even use it as some software within Windows Mobile (does Windows Mobile run while running Android?)?

3. Are there with the newest version any big phonefunctions that don't work yet? -edit- forget this1, I should read the wiki before asking questions -/edit-

Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer my (nooby :P) questions

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] m4f1050:
1. For noobs there is a .CAB install that works pretty well. I used it myself. Install cab, select your device and then run the Android shortcut on Windows Mobile.

2. Yes, Andorid runs off of the SDCard, I had a difficult time understandig it at first but I got the picture. The SDCard is used instead of the internal memory where the OS is stored at, instead it's stored in external memory (your SDCard)

3. Correct, there are still things being worked on. Mainly the Camera (and phoen jack has a trick but you can't switch from speakers when you enable the phone jack...) But Phone, Text, 3G, Wifi even a Wifi Tether works just fine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kwoodyusa:
I have noticed that when in "silent" mode the phone does not vibrate when receiving text messages. Does anyone else have this issue? Emails vibrate.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] edwill44:
Ok i know I havent been gone that long but ok, does the speaker work around also apply to thr usb hadphones? Or is it only for the 3.5 jack? I see a lot of talk about it but no 'yes it does/no it doesnt'

I really am frustrated about the USB connection.

I swear to god it was working last week.

Can't figure it out haha!

Yep. This has been the case for a while.

Go to your texting app -> settings -> notifications.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] outerdepth:
Yeah, wait til this afternoon, when I get home and I will post it.

If you look at the faq on the 1st post's link to it, scroll down to the bottom and it tells you what to write in the startup.txt to overclock it. Also, I will post my startup file when I get off work this afternoon. Hope this helps you.:cool:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jphaus:
I'm having this same problem, which did not happen for me in the 8/30 release.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jphaus:
This is a nice little trick that I hadn't seen before...thanks for sharing.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kwoodyusa:
OK so I am an idiot. Thanks! I am new to Android.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jphaus:
Doh! That's all it was for me...didn't know that setting existed and that it overwrote the one in Settings -> Sound -> Vibrate

Mine was on "Never" by default.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] zharptitza:
The up down volume didn't help me. I ended up figuring out that when the phone is is silent mode the in call volume isn't working correctly. If I mute the call and then unmute it the problem goes away. Using the volume keys isn't enough. I don't know if this is due to a recent fix with the in-call volume stuff or not.

can't find gtalk?

just switch from 0830 blzn to 0916 ref....is there no gtalk in it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Hey Reefer,

Is the reason Blazn is takin soo long is because u have to re-theme Blazn all over again? u said u was afraid of that if that was the case it would absolutely not boot into Android.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Hank73:
It used to happened with my HTC Touch Pro 2 (Rhodium 100)

I backed up my system with Titanium backup (registered before :-) )

I reinstalled everything.

Then restored everything

Backup and restore instructions are on the Titanium's webpage.

Now it shuts down.

However I still have problem with calibration (when I open the keyboard I need to "click" about 1 cm down. Strange...

Tried to re-calibrate but nothing changed. Now I removed the screen protector and I'll try to re-calibrate.

New to the party, really excited about everything your guys are doing and I've been running my TMo TP2 in Android only for the last couple days and love it. Is the plan to eventually offer this as a permenant flash once the bugs are worked out? Most things work well for me except the WEP won't allow me on my home/work WiFi networks. Also, does anyone know how to make the unit show up when plugged in to a USB port so I can transfer files without having to flip back to WM?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
WiFi = only open or WPA/2

USB isn't fully working.. only charging and USB debug mode.. so no file transfer or USB Tether
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
USB support is pretty basic, you have to start Android with an ActiveSync session running to get ADB access. I don't think USB tethering works, but some were saying it does... I forgot to play with it last night :p

WEP doesn't work. It's not supported and I'm going to say it again - WEP can be cracked in under a minute with a simple packet injection tool. DON'T USE IT!!

Yes, the plan is to hopefully have a flashable Android ROM to replace WinMo, but the development is not quite ready for that yet...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] gollygwagen:
I must be missing something, I have ActiveSync running and the phone is connected via USB like it would be if I was Syncing under WinMo but I don't see it under explorer, ActiveSync, DoubleTwish or anything. I'm sure it's something obvious but I didn't see anywhere under settings to set it up as a mass storage device or something like that.

Man, can't wait till development works out all the bugs. I much prefer the Android OS.

Is there an alternative to WEP that will work on the current setup or are you just saying to make my home network open? It may not be very secure, but it keeps the average neighbor from freeloading off your connection.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
did u even read my post above?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lilchicano:
^

if you dont want to have your wifi open then switch it to wpa or wpa2, simple.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] gollygwagen:
I did (after I posted) and tried to edit but being a new user I was locked out until now. Really sorry about that. Sounds like I need to look into WPA/2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
oh ok.. and WPA/2 means WPA or WPA2

did anyone get the new gmail app in the market downloaded and installed?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Woutertjuh89:
Oke, I installed the .cab file and (almost) everything works great!

Don't really find the camera that important, otherwise I wouldn't have bought the TP2 anyways...

Only one thing I can not solve myself: the screen calibration is pretty messed up and I cannot find a way to set it again (never got the option to calibrate it when installing/starting up Android...). Can somebody help me out?

Thanks in advance,

Greets,

Woutertjuh89
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] tekgurl:
Delete the ts-calibration file before starting android again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Yes, and im sorry its taking so long guys, too many projects at one time. :) The issue with the mic not working is a kernel issue, and they are working on it, I believe if you go back a kernel from the Project Tracking page it will fix the issue (both zimage/modules files). If you guys are really sick of waiting, I could release a temp version that would not be theme, but would have launcherpro and the updated apps i add/remove from the build. To me it seems like that almost defeats the purpose but if everyone wanted that it would be easy for me to drop quickly for download.

Hopefully I get this finished soon. It shouldn't be too much longer. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] DasHawk2:
Nah, i would rather just wait for a proper release then, just focus on getting everthing fixed and then release. We can wait :) (well atleast i can :P)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Serren:
I'd rather wait as well. Do your thing when you have the time!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] m4f1050:
Using a USB dongle (for headphone) I get backwards LED on the dongle... When I have no headphones plugged in I get a light, when I plug in headphones the light turns off...! LOL

This also happened with my Touch Pro. Some have reported that this works fine. I have both Touch Pro and Touch Pro2 from Sprint, not sure what carrier other folks had...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Agentz919:
I agree! I think you do amazing work and no sense in wasting time putting out something that we will all replace. Thank you for everything!!!:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Mitch010:
Please help me out! I think my battery drained and now I can't turn on the phone anymore. Sometimes it suddenly starts up and until the second boot screen it crashes again.

Really hope someone has a solution for this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Woutertjuh89:
if your battery died replacing it sounds like a solid plan...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Mitch010:
I meant drained.. will edit it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] alvoryx:
maybe because your battery is uncharged ?

I think that I have the same issue since I disabled the battery warning..at one moment it's just down..

plug your phone to the power, remove, replace the battery (a few times) while trying to boot it..at one moment your phone will boot. after that let it charge in wm

i will just wait that some of those big bugs are resolved before I use xdandroid anymore on work :-p it's to unstable atm..which I mean is logic, don't get me wrong
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] merkk:
crashes/drops call while changing volume

This seems to happen to me every single time i try to change the volume while in a call. And it seems to be a problem for the last several builds. Running the latest froyo build right now (the one posted a few days ago 9/16).

last few times the phone just flat out crashed. today i just tried it for the first time with the latest froyo build and the radio on the phone seemed to die. tried turning airplane mode on and off a few times to get it back but it didn't help. I just had the little signal bar with no bars and a little x. I had to restart the phone to get it back.

Anyone else running into this problem? This is in on a Sprint Touch Pro 2.

Doesn't seem to be a problem if i change the volume when i am not in a call - only during a call. But then again it's changing the ringer volume when i change the volume when not in a call.

So besides asking if anyone else has this problem (or knows a fix) can someone tell me how i can change the incall volume while not in a call? I looked in the call settings and sound settings - didn't see an option for incall volume. Don't know about everyone else but on my phone it's really loud.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JBS2:
Restarting when changing volume is a known issue. No fix at the moment.

There is are fix for the loudness, take a look at the updates site.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] merkk:
bummer - thanks for letting me know it's a known issue.

Is there any way for me to adjust the incall volume without actually being in a call? Even if there isn't a direct GUI interface for that, there must be a setting somewhere that can be tweaked for that, no?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] alvoryx:
yep maybe there something like this..

in fact, i don't know if it was caused by that, but this afternoon while driving to a customer I was trying the ndrive turn-by-turn soft..

not to mention that i arrived 30min late (:rolleyes:), the phone crashed ~5 times..each time I think i also pushed the volume buttons
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JBS2:
Damn you're fast, just edited my post a few seconds ago. Search in this topic for volume adjustment, there are possibilities (like playing with 1-5 or installing the available fix).

Crashing navigation tools are a different problem I have. Both Google Maps and CoPilot Live 8. No relation to volume buttons to me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] merkk:
heh thanks ;) i just happened to be in email when i got the notice of a reply so popped back over.

I just checked the updates page - according to that, the incall volume is supposed to be fixed with the latest froyo build? To upgrade to a new build, do i need to do anything besides delete (or rename) the previous andboot folder and copy the new andboot folder and it's contents to my card? i.e. is incall really fixed in the latest build and i just mucked up installing it somehow or is it not entirely fixed?

thanks again for the info -should i try installing the incall fix that was posted 2-3 weeks ago on the update page? Wasn't sure if i should considering that appears to be an older version of zimage and the modules package.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] alvoryx:
besides of that, are you happy with copilot ? i'm missing igo8 from wm actually :\
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
^^ these responses Reefer.. take your time to perfect the Blazn Theme (so we don't have to ask u to fix something later on, lol).. just don't take a MONTH :eek:

:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JBS2:
Dunno, can't figure it out when it keeps crashing.. ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Found out today after trying everything theme wise (I thought it was incorrect draw-9 formatting that was borking it) that its those new signed packages that are screwing me.... So Ive got it almost completely themed now that I learned that except for a few things, which is progress bar is still orange, clock and notifications are still black... BAH. At least Im getting closer.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
i can't install it.. we have to wait for the Devs to update the files with the cooked in Gmail.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] merkk:
Oops - looks like i just stumbled on another bug - not sure if it's repeatable since it's the first time i've seen this one. Just installed google maps (just noticed it wasn't installed by default). Opened it up, signed into latitude. It was still trying to get a GPS lock since it still had me off the coast of africa. I signed into latitude. Didn't see any of my friends icons show up. So i cleared the latitude layer, and then tried to turn it back on and the phone appeared to completely lock up. Screen stayed on - no key presses had any effect at all. Power, home, back - none did anything. Waited a minute to see if android would give me a popup telling me maps or whatever wasn't responding, but it didn't. Had to hit the reset button.

I'll play around with the map some more to see if i can repro the error (assuming it's not a known issue - is there a list of known issues?)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
those XDA signed packages? what is that all about? and why is that causing the block? but yea, thats good u finally nailed the problem! can't wait for the theme to finish.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JBS2:
Good news that you're getting closer. Looking forward to the new BLAZN release! Keep us posted :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] merkk:
Oops - looks like it's worse then i thought - i can't get android back up and running. When i start it i see a bunch of messages on the screen like:

get_smem_clock timeout state 10909

msm_timer_enter_idle timer late -1373

Last line on the screen is ARM9 crashed and it stops there. I'm getting the feeling i'm going to have to delete the data file and reinstall all the apps again ;(

edit: pulled the battery, rebooted to windows, started android up again and this time it died at:

bsf cpu scheduler v0.316 by con kolivas

edit2: looks like the 3rd reboot is the charm - got it back up and running
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Sykoknot:
Has the 9/16 BLAZN FRX01 build been reposted yet?

After annoucing MrPippy's changes, now mines:

I pushed (not tested yet, but I believe it works), handling for speaker.

It's not really useful as it can be used only for phone call currently, and that mic switching doesn't work, but mic switching will be the next to come I think. (Or software sound is someone get an idea...)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] zuch0698o:
that is great new my friend my next donation as i said will be for the person who gets the speaker working in full for the sound 36.5 euro = 50.77 us all i ask is the ability to listen to my music as i have lucid's script ready to go and increase volume...

e.20100207_140206

EDIT: Okay i copy and pasted the new files over yet it tells me i am missing zimage.20100207_140207

final edit no it still isnt working i failed somewhere it tells me that

Mount: mounting proc on /proc failed: no such file or directory

mount: no /proc/mounts

mount mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0 on /sdcard failed: no such file or directory

well im getting the erroe as above, but ive narrowed it down to the new .img thats whats causing us to have this problem. i can wait till the new package is out
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Viperal:
Seems here.

Boots with the older rootfs.img from February 23, but ofcause no wifi. (Never tested with the bt rootfs.img)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Seems we will be waiting a bit for the WiFi after all, couple hiccups, however I believe the speakerphone works now with the new zimage/modules, so im testing that now. Let you guys know what I come up with, we may have to wait another day to get some stable updates with the bugs worked out, but at least we know we are 1 step closer.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] zuch0698o:
Willing to beta contact me!!!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] phhusson:
Ok, stinebd broke his rootfs generator.

Redownload the last one, it will boot fine.

Concerning wifi, it will work only on cdma phones yet. (and maybe not all, I'm not sure of what MrPippy has).

The fix for GSM phones is easy, I can confirm on my rhod300 that besides from this detection problem, wifi works fine :)

Xandroid messes with WM GPS?

Does anyone know if Xandroid messes up the GPS when you have reseted back to WM. I have been playing with the latest build on my phone and when I went back to WM the GPS had stopped working in google earth yet Chartcross was showing some bars. Please keep in mind I am running a custom Rom so I realize my experience is valid but different just wondering. My ROM is in the Sig by the way.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Scrog:
yes the shut down is a work in progress...you can just push the soft reset button on the side. i drilled a hole to let me press it with taking the back off
