A dead horsebeat

First of all, thanks for the impressive work. It truly is amazing to watch the evolution of this. It is awesome, and just updated to the 10/10 and am looking forward to working with it tomorrow.

My question is with the startup.txt. This is the ONLY thing that is a problem for me. I have searched and the ONLY solution i've found is make a copy of startup.txt and paste it before booting.

This is what I do........

Is there ANY other solution ? Or a way around this? Bypassing the utility alltogether, and just booting haret?

Is it getting wiped due to the way I shut down android? Is there a way to make read only so it doesn't get wiped?

What is the correct/best way to handle startup.txt getting wiped to OKb.

Thank you kindly for pointing me in the right directions, and keep up the great work amen!

This is what i do:

Keep a backup copy of startup.txt on the root folder of your SD card. Whenever it resets to 0b just copy the one that you had saved into your SD card into the androidboot folder.

This is much easier than connecting the phone to your PC and downloading the txt because you can what i suggested on the phone itself (file explorer) and it takes a few seconds.

It doesn't have enough battery to boot, pull the bat put it back and let it charge while off for a while

TP2 (XDandroid) XDA App
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] brandonbl79:
So then that IS the solution. Keep a back-up of Startup.txt, and paste it before using XDANDROID?

I was hoping there was something else I cold do. I'm doing that currently.

Anyone have a better workaround, or is this what everyone else is doing.

Also, on this latest install, my startup.txt goes to Okb on the initial boot, so i can't even get a back-up!!! AGHHHH, trying again.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] noodles21o2:
that problem has been talked about, search

Anyone has the same issue as what I found? Tried installing it on a clean SD but still have the same issue.

I did the 10/10 update thru the startup 1.2.3 and now my app will not work.

Installed the cab version for the first time on my Touch Pro 2 and notice it takes a very long time on the linux screen with the scrolling lines...its still doing it after close to 8 min. I also did an update to before booting. Is this normal?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Stick to haret, you'll never have startup.txt issues again - but you have to edit the startup.txt manually.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] el_venga:
for some reason my device wouldnt boot on GSM, only with force cdma checked. edited startup manually and ran haret. booted just fine. very fast now and feels great!!

after hw3d was updated my device never booted until today that i tried force cdma and realized the problem was not android nor haret.

another proud TP2 (RhodiumW) user!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] coolwater22:
the first boot takes a long time since its creating a data file,just be patient.. its normal :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Broman400:
Is there anyway to transfer files from my computer to my Tilt 2 without having to boot back into Windows Mobile, because when I connect the USB to my phone nothing happens.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
230 posts and you haven't learned where the search button is?

I also believe this is in the FIRST post! USB isn't working yet, except for ADB - and even then you have to do some trickery to get it workin.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Broman400:
Thanks, I dont like overworking my hand to drag it to the search button, jk.

I'm on it, I should have these all fixed for you in a couple of hours...

Try the program 'Dropbox' (search on google). I use it to transfer small files (like apk's) and its very handy!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I always forget about dropbox... it's not exactly what everyone is looking for, but it's a great workaround. Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] gregboyd3rd:
I just downloaded the new .cab to my sd card, installed to the sd card, did a soft-reset and clicked on the android icon to boot to linux. Everything went good but now I am stuck on the xdandroid screen with the little green guys flying around. I have been watching them fly around for about 20 minutes. Any help/suggestions or do I just need to wait longer?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
10 minutes should be the max, you're in a bootloop.

It's been addressed thousands of times (no joke) - reboot, delete your data.img, and try again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Naadi900:
New kernel on the website (changes powerbutton back to powerbutton instead of home). Will try and check for stability. Have been on the good 9 october build for a bit, just had random reboots, where you go to the bootscreen, not to windows. Happened after installing apps and messing with volume while speaker was turned on. As well as when i received a call. Making calls was not possible for me the times i tried, couldn't hear people, and pressing vol up/down didn't help.

Will report back on the new kernel :)

EDIT:

Well, for me i lost the home button completely, power button (top one) does nothing. Altho when it's asleep, with green light on, the light turns orange when you press the button. But only the Home button wakes it up for real... Not very convenient tbh.

Maybe i'll revert to 10/10.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Ziain:
Exactly the same for me.

Although apart from that it seemed a tadge booting (could just be that I'm losingtime from being half asleep).

Edit:

Using 'sparts parts' and remapping my home key to home, then sleep gets round this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bmhome1:
There's a WM version of Dropbox called DroppedBox in Market to hook WM into same cloud storage spot.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jopherr:
its a hassle. however you can for me, i bring my android back to homescreen then quickly pop out my sd card, pop the sd card into my computer, transfer the files, then pop it back into my tilt 2

every now and then though, android will just reboot into windows. but feel free to try :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I... wouldn't recommend this method.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] CosmicBlue2000:
It seems, the GSensor isn't set up the right way.

I can't calibrate it, it will crash every time i try to.

And apps using the GSensor are behaving like inverted.

For example that "Labyrinth" coming with Reefs BLAZN, or Googe Sky Maps.

Google Sky Maps is like a mirror to the real sky when moving the phone around.

There is this option in the startup.txt "gsensor_axis=2,1,3" found in the faq.

But changing it to 3,2,1 or 1,3,2 or 2,3,1 or 3,1,2 or 1,2,3 wont solve that problem.

Any ideas?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] quik99:
I have had this same issue with no way to fix it. was told to read the faq but that didnt fix anything
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] T3h_Unkn0wn:
Just got my Sprint TP2 and got Android set up and running it under 10 mins (loading for the first time included) everything went smooth loving it so far.

One thing and I am sure i missed the post but this thing gets toasty! Anyone have a problem with it getting to hot? Can this be a problem?

Just dont wanna mess up my new phone :s

Thanks!

That's exactly why updates are being cranked out daily...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] tecjunkie:
I ran the latest Blazin today. I didn't have it overclocked and it went thru the battery pretty quick. Led's and incalls worked great. I seem to get the best battery life out the reference so far.

Tmo TP2

BTW Thanks for all your hard work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] outerdepth:
So I have to report I am getting even worse displays for battery life as compared to WinMo. I am getting 80% in WinMo,and switch over to android and it says like 54%,and am still having issues with LED Effects,it works,but only half the time. I'm wondering if it's due to the same reason the battery is not accurately reading. This is in no way a complaint,but it is an issue for my T-Mo TP2. Not sure who has one that's T-Mo branded,but it must matter to some degree I'd imagine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bahairus:
Exactly. Vacations, my butt. I am super-impressed with how fast the updates are posted. Devs, you rock! :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] killercavy:
So I installed 10/10/10 update, everything popped up force close and then rebooted itselft, so I wiped and put the latest blazn rar and updated again. It is a little more stable now but will still freeze and then reboot into winmo?????

rebooted several more times to get it functional again!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] QuentinX5:
I know, right? I mean, I may not of been around very long, but I still highly appreciate the work the developers do. They definitely don't get enough appreciation for all the hard work they get for doing this. I mean, seriously, a newbie programmer like me taking a look at all the scripts and kernels that they put out and just jawdrops from the amount of amazingness they create.

But seriously, developers, keep up the amazing work. It's so amazing the things that can be created by a community coming and working together.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] rodrilobo02:
There is this guy Camro, hi is working on android kernel and making it show more acurate battery status, hi has improved blackstone's and rhapael's battery driver.

Sooo he needs our help just doing the steps explained in THIS THREAD

Lets help him to get our RHODIUM WORKING WELL!!!! ;D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bogdan_wrc:
where can i find a download link for the update version?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] QuentinX5:
First off... Search = Best Friend for answers

Anyways, the latest available download is from 9/28. From there on, you can use the Startup Utility at http://sites.google.com/site/androidport/startup-utility to update your software as they release new updates. Or you can download all the recent kernels, rootfs and initrd.gz to update on your card.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Naadi900:
I've noticed that in Camro's topic the example startup.txt for a blackstone contains - in front of gsensor values.

changing it into -2, -1, 3 fixes for me when you hold it landscape wise. so Fallingball works. Bubble however is still not correct when on flat surface and move bottom up/top up. Labyrinth is completely messed up. So i'm thinking it has more to do with how apps read the info...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bogdan_wrc:
:) thank you.i have been searching for the update, but i was missing this information. i thought it was a complete new update.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] CosmicBlue2000:
What is ADB? All I find is Android Debug Bridge and that has to be run with Linux. Is that right?

Has anyone tried ASTRO File Manager with WiFi Plugin yet?

Or even more: Got a working connection between PC and phone?

If at home, it would be the easiest way to get files onto the phone while using Android.

If away from home, I use Dropbox. But perhaps ADB is better?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cdiesel:
jus got 205 on my first try..no idea if thats good or bad
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jopherr:
is new build up?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
No, new build is not up. There was either 2 options with all the new parts to play with. Either the Wifi worked, and there was no regular 3g data, OR 3G and Wifi work, but as soon as your phone goes to sleep, it does not turn back on. :)

I took a break messing with it, and am about to start again, but I wouldnt expect anything new until tomorrow probably. If I figure anything out, Ill definitely post.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] moto2000:
great work with this, your hard work and commitment is appreciated!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] grazykid:
anyway we can download the wifi working build from somewhere? or the files that are needed? Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Feel free, the links are in my second post on this thread, thats the newest zimage/modules from there and try it out for yourself. It works pretty awesome until your handset doesnt wake up :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] grazykid:
cool, thanks for that;]

btw does anyone feel that their tp2 is warmer than normal when in android?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Jumpo2612:
Hey All

you mentioned that the power management is not workin, if i am to use this say full time what would i use as the battery symbol in android always shows 100%, i need to know if there is another app that will fix this issue?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] elroy944:
sorry to say but i think you have to wait till it's fixed. all other battery software probably use the same. so on all there will be battery level 100% :)

My Battery Life :(

I never came close to 20 hours :(

So i am wondering what i could be doing wrong.

1. i close my apps after boot.

2. screen brightness is set to minimal.

3. make sure the battery is 100% full when i run haret

4. always use the latest release.

5. i tried enabeling 2G instaid of 3G (but the menu option is grayed out (known problem?)

any thoughts on what could be the battery drain?

ps: i read something on disabling the GPS unit as it is not functioning any way. how can i do this?

My Battery Story ;)

To make a long (and probably boring) story short:

My battery life seems to be between 6 and 12 hours depending on the usage (with 12 hours being idle 99% of the time).

so this is never near the 20 that others apparently measure.

Could this be broken/worn-out battery?

(I like android so much i can't live a day without it so i haven't measured when only running with Windows Mobile)

Any help is welcome, what do you do to keep battery usage to a minimum?

Thanks!

Piet

Can someone confirm if you still have to skip the initial setup now that wifi is working? Thanks to the developers to for all the hard work. And congrats to getting this working.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] osrix:
Hey reefer can i ask how the CPU is being overclocked? i was under the impression this wasn't possible on this chipset?? :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] thecompany:
I still cant get the screen to turn completely off, is this not possible yet or am i missing something? Im using the latest build (02/27) and the latest zimage + modules (03/01). Also i cant use wifi but i understand thats disabled because the phone wont get out of sleep after a while.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] rankhalfling:
Did you read the first post??

Have you disabled auto backlight in winmo?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] 1jaxstate1:
I thought it was my battery too. Seeing that some people are seeing 20 hours of battery life. But I booted into WM and the battery lasted much longer. But for me, I use the phone's feature a lot! So I'm gonna just take my 4 - 6 hours of battery life and be happy....and carry my AC charger with me.

Try Jdownloader to download it from 4shared :) Works better then directly downloading it from the site.

Now I've disabled PIN code asking in WinMo, but that made things worse. Because now when the phone normally would ask for the PIN, it justs don't and I have no signal/service.

There's just a X above the 'signal-meter' and it says 'No Service'.

Hope anyone knows what could be the problem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Star-Lite:
Or just download DroidExplorer. This will give you a nice graphical interface for your ADB needs & console. It will even install all neccesary drivers & SDK stuff for you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] gregboyd3rd:
still getting a boot-loop after deleting the data file and trying again!

I have also tried starting with a fresh format on my sd card starting first with the .cab with no success THEN with the .rar files with no success (green guys are starting to piss me off since they are currently frozen). I try a soft-reset and I just keep getting the same thing.

I have an HTC Touch Pro 2 through Sprint and use the Rhod400 boot with XDAndroid. HELP!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] tsan81:
First time running into this problem so any suggestions would be great! Running Blazn, with the most current updates (10/10), OC enabled to modest. Before copying the RAR to my sdcard, I did as recommended, and reformatted the card. I've also deleted the data file to let it be recreated.

The problem, when I try to run Titanium BU (free), it doesn't seem to recognize the card. It's stays in the overview. I did install busybox from the problems option. says the following:

Data directory: /data

External storage: not mounted

Backup directory: not available.

The xdandroid stuff is located in "andboot" folder which is in the root of the card. Like mentioned, I've never had this issue before with previous versions until now. I boot using the startup utility.

Also, the only other thing I've noticed....I cannot get ringtones that I've manualled copied into the ringtones folder to show up from the ringtones settigns menu. I've tried scanning media from Dev Tools. This happened to me in the first couple versions of the working sound Blazn's, but then they showed up.

Thanks.

***UPDATE*** so it was an issue with using the winmo's formatting. I used the HP tools to reformat, so far so good!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] QuentinX5:
Did you try updating XDAndroid? You might also have to download a new .CAB file or .RAR file.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] gregboyd3rd:
I am going to try to FROYO .cab instead of the BLAZN and let you know if I get hung up. Thanks.

WIFI on 10/10 update

What up?

I installed the 10/10 update for BLAZIN last night. The phone has been going strong since.. no reboots or freezes and this is with live wallpapers running. So far, so good. The only hitch is that my wifi is no longer working. The phone scans, attempts to connect, disconnects and starts up again. I have searched for guidance on this but haven't seen anyone else with issues related to to most recent update who had previously had it working. (NOTE: my network is secured with WEP. I know this was a problem at one point but I had this network working previously.) I'd hate to go backwards as everything else is working so well. (In fact, I won't. Wifi isn't a deal killer.. it is just nice to have.) Any ideas?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kbc88:
Amazing. This Android port blows my mind. The only thing I'm upset about is not seeing this earlier. Firstly, THANK YOU to the devs and the contributors of this port.

I ran this for the first time late last night using BLAZN and everything works like a charm. Of course, battery life is down there but that's just how it is for now.

I have a question as I have read multiple pages and haven't found an exact answer: When running XDAndroid, and you turn the screen off and let it sit on standby (which is by pressing the red hang up phone icon on the Tilt2, correct?), does the phone still have slight warmth? I was wondering if the phone never actually goes on standby and is still running as if it were on in the background. Having the battery run fairly toasty for a while is fairly scary. I understand that the battery life isnt the greatest even if left on standby, but I didn't realize that the phone is still working to a point that it gets warm even when completely unused.

Regards,

K
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bmhome1:
Standby is short press on far right (hang up symbol) hardware button, long press brings up shutdown screen.

With latest updated zimage/modules using XAndroidStartUp v1.2.3 for getting newest updates, standby on my Tilt 2 has vastly improved. It can left on standby for hours with barely any % charge level lost.

It definitely cools down to no heat felt in standby (using 700mz OC) for me.

How is your battery % used up left in standby?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I'm actually testing this with a dev right now... it seems even in 'sleep' mode the phone doesn't properly de-initialize the screen. Hopefully we'll have a commit soon :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bmhome1:
WEP has never been supported in BLAZIN. Switch to WAP. Had same issue and worked like charm (besides being vastly more secure).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bahairus:
Hmmm... I thought I was RUNNING Blazin when I had it working. Oh, well. Switching to WPA probably isn't a bad idea, anyway.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kaybegod:
I downloaded this and I like it so far. The trick to make this work is, you have to make sure before you boot into Android, make sure that your phone is connected via Activesync (or Windows Mobile Device Center for Vista and Windows 7 users). As far as the drivers, I ended up installing them manually.:cool:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
