Me personally, i never used rar file. Always went the cab route. Because i thought u need to be on desktop to open rar file. I had some win mo apps like Unrar but neva really messed with it.

So is a rar basically like a zip file or somethin? So instead of installing cab, i just open or unrar thr rar folder and extract contents to root of sd card? This can be done on my phone thru the unrar or rar apps? I guess it was reading what people said about the process made it seem harder thn what it is. Cab install actually doesnt take long at all.

Once reefer drop the new Blazin build, im sure its gonna be good. Quality is never rushed, unless on some mandatory deadline..lol. Also, im no noob to hackin or messing around wit tech devices, just never used rar file b4 LMFAO
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] merkk:
yes, rar is like zip - it's just a different file compression. I usually download to my PC and then just copy the andboot folder from the rar file to my phone. But i dont think there's any reason why you couldn't copy the rar file to your phone and un-rar it directly on the phone.

I just like using the rar because it seems simpler and leaves me in control. Doesn't really matter though. What works for you.

i used astro and went to /system/app/gmail.apk but no deal.. not a biggie tho
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lilchicano:
yep just like you said rar is just like another version of a zip. but i myself for like umm.... 7 months have always downloaded the projects directly from my phone and just used pocketrar from my phone and just extracted the andboot folder from it. the whole process takes about 2 minutes tops for me.

its really not that hard for those people that never tried it out, only difference really is the fact that you dont get the icon in the start menu but you can always do that manually if you want it badly.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] mykeysee:
Weird problem... looked through forum and all that.

As you guys said, in order to get the GPS working I should get a lock in WM first. Every time I do get a lock though, the Android boot-up freezes. The OS boots up fine without the GPS lock in WM.

Any idea why this is happening?

I deleted the data.img and formatted my sd card.

This is on a Sprint TP2 w/ the FRX01 reference build.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
Not that weird - that's how it always happens for some of us! If I go into Android whilst the GPS is active it always crashes during the boot. It doesn't if you make sure GPS has stopped first.

However, I never bother and my GPS works fine in Android. I always fire up maps, wait until it finds me rather than West of Africa and then fire up Navigation.

I do however update QuickGPS in WinMo when it asks - I don't know if this information is used in Android.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Bieka:
Weeks ago i had GPS Problems. My whole Phone freezed while i navigate. No Matter how long or what App i used for. I tested Navigon Navigator and Google Navigator. Both are working very fine since there was a freeze and the whole phone won't react on anything.

I asked reef an he said i should test to format and make a fresh install of android. I did and it wasn't better. So i get another 2gb SDHC Card and only had a Folder with Gen.Y Install Cab inside. So NO WinMo Apps or something inside. I Formated, made a clean fresh install and installed Navigon. Now i can chose between the apps ;). Both are working through hours. Only thing is that sometimes the phone looses signal and won't get it back, so Google Navigation said "No Data Connection". Then i have to restart the phone to get it back and use it for the next hours. So test this...

*Get another SDHC Card where you only "install" Android

*Boot into android without a big change in WinMo (I installed Gen.y and made it fast- and autoboot in android so there is no GPS Lock before Android boots up ;) ).

*Try Navigation with Google Navigator.

*When the Point where you are is in the middle of nowhere start Google Maps first an force GPS Position ;)))

I hope this helps
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Mitch010:
Isn't the reason that the phone (running in Android) can't find my SD card, because the whole system is installed on the SD card, so it thinks the SD card is the main memory?

I just formatted my SD and the problem remains. I don't want to try to install the cab directly onto the phone memory, because the FAQ says I shouldn't, but wouldn't that be the solution?

I'm a noob with this stuff, so this could be a really dumb question. ;)

CPU overl load

In my last post i was describing a problem with my CPU that was always running at 100%. In fact the main task that was hooking the CPU was the mediaserver.

AND ...

It was because ther where a lot of stuff on my sd card (WM programs, divx , mp3, and downloads) my sd card is 8GO wild.

I deleted every thing and now the Cpu is ok running at 3 % when no task are needed.

The battery life is now 2 days.

thank's all

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jellenl:
First of all, a big thanks to the developers of this! I've used this for 2 weeks or something and it worked great. (only the battery is empty very fast, but i can live with that.)

But this morning when i woke up, my phone was turned off. :( So i restarted WM, then started android, the startup goes normally, but after the loading image (animation that makes the word 'android'), it vibrates a single time and the screen turned black. If i try to turn the screen on (by clicking on the end-call button) nothing happens.

After a few minutes the led-indicator turned on, and if i try to turn the screen on the led-indicator turn to red, but the screen stays black.

Windows Mobile works still well, but does someone know how i can repair android? :confused:

Thank you
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] precise3:
When the battery is low, I notice that happening. Let it charge up first. Should bring it right back for you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jellenl:
This morning, when i saw my phone was off, i restarted it and windows mobile says that my battery was around the 33% full, so i don't think that's the problem.

And atm my battery is full and android still doesn't start. :(

But thanks for your reply ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Huh, try deleting your data.img. I'm not sure how smart it is to leave the phone booted in Android overnight either ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
Pah! I (and I'd guess lots of other people) keep it in Android 24/7 - crashing and updates excepted!

I do keep it charging at night though, and I keep wifi on so that clocksync will keep it from drifting too much if I lose the data connection!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] alvoryx:
wow...

i'm not supposing everyone here needs to be IT/Software-engineer to mess around with mobile phone software, but, no offence, reading this makes me :eek:

you say that you aren't noob to tech devices but u ask "is a rar basically like a zip file or somethin?"

sorry, but am i the only one to find that there's something that sounds wrong here ?

saying not knowing whats a rar file and after that saying being not noob in "hackin" or messing around with tech devices, is like saying being familiar with metaphysics without knowing what a rule of three is..for me at least

(btw you're not the one who 'hacks'..you're using hacks, that's all..saying that you hacks makes you something that begins with a L and ends with a R...)

not trying to proove something or being an asshole but...comon..don't say things like "im no noob into hackin or messing around wit tech devices, just never used rar file b4"

it's just kinda insulting for other people that's all

and after all, that would make people who are really good (not even me) what ? god's ? no no sry i had to say this
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Ziain:
Not taking the p*** or anything but what is 'rule of three'?

Just interested.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] alvoryx:
don't know the traduction it's from french "règle de 3"

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Ziain:
ok so the maths is pretty straight forward, but i guess this isn't really the place to discuss ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] noodles21o2:
i would agree with you, its as if people have never heard of google
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] merkk:
I am surprised that anyone who knows enough to know they can install android on a wimno phone doesn't know what rar/zip is, but i'm not insulted by it. And you have to realize everyone has their own interests. I think it's safe to say most people who enjoy installing custom roms and what not on their smartphones are also more computer literate then the average person. But i'm sure there are some who are exceptions to the rule. Besides, everyone has to have first time where they hear about RAR or 7zip etc etc :)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
Looks interesting, but there is no mention of sound device stability in the two commits today, so I presume we still need to continue with the 8th September kernel for now?

Can anyone who is able to keep track of the IRC chat tell us if the devs have been working or making any progress in this area? Or even better one of the devs themselves? (I would keep track myself, but I get into enough trouble with my wife just keeping up with this one thread!)

Can't make calls

Hey guys, I have been using Android now for a few months. I have come to the point of no SOD but now I get the problem of not being able to make phone calls after it is on for a little while, maybe an hour or so. The call attempts and then I get the red screen saying call disconnected. I went back to a previous version and the problem is still persisting. I deleted Data (regrettably) but it has the same problem. I have 3G network and Wifi and everything else but I lose the main function of making calls. Anyone else having this problem? Any workarounds besides resetting the phone? Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] precise3:
WM should only be showing battery % in 5% increments. You have to take into consideration the 25% difference in reporting between android and WM. Get the power above 50% in WM and boot again into Android. Deleting DATA may work as well.

FRX01 missing gtalk

FRX01 seems to be missing the gtalk app (though the talk service seems to be running, since it logs me in and shows me notifications, but i can't click through to read them). This is pretty annoying, since I liked the gtalk integration, and now i get messages, but can't actually look at them.

I tried installing various Talk.apk packages both downloaded from the web and with adb, and nothing installed.

Does anyone know why it was removed, and if there is a way to get it back? I'm aware that there are other tools out there that can do gtalk, but i'm really not interested in giving them my google password
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Serren:
I had the speaker/mic issues at first, but that problem seems to have gone away on my Sprint TP2. I did return to the 8/30 Blazen, but updated to a newer package. I wish I knew what I did, but I have not had any calling audio issues for a couple of weeks. My fix did break the voice search feature though. But I'd rather have phone calls then voice search.

[Q] Google Contact picture sync

Just wondering why my Google Contact pictures on Android doesn't sync with my Gmail account anymore. I can remember that this feature worked just fine on a previous clean install of XDANDROID 08/30. I can see the pics when I log in on gmail.com and Google Talk but they are not transferred to my Contact.

i was just curious is charging working on the 9/16 build
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
Charging has been working fine for quite a while now. When you plug in, Android reports that it is fully charged after a few seconds, but in reality it is still charging. If you leave it plugged in for an appropriate time, it will actually continue charging till it is full (which you can check by rebooting to WinMo).

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Ha, couldn't find it in the Archive... D'oh! I was hoping it was just a file listing of a directory, a true archive, but I guess Reef set it up as another pretty page... :p

Rhod.2.2Froyo.083010.rar - I basically just changed the date on the link, and it worked. So there's an archive there... Reef, make it easier! Just make it a file listing.

Same **** as before...

Incoming calls seem fine, but then the caller cannot hear you until you press the incall volume button up & down...

it also switches the speakerphone on for no reason... and then does a reboot into android...

*sulk*
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Atmosphere:
ok BUT... and i don't know if this is "allowed" or whatever...

the previous build on my phone was 31 August if i remember correctly... i replaced it with that zimage and kept modules-2.6.27.46-01169-gdcde324.tar.gz from 23 sep....

it seems to work again, but then who knows if the modules actually changed in the last build...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
You have to update modules with EVERY zImage or things will break like wifi etc. Hence the reason they're typically packaged together...?

Led Effects work on RHOD300!

Using the 9/17 Reference build, 8/28 rootfs, & the latest kernel w/working LedEffects for Topaz, LedEffects also seems to be working fine on my Tilt 2 (selecting topa in LedEffects options). It also seems that my battery drain has decreased (I don't know if that's because the LED isn't on all the time now, or what, but something in the new kernel seems to be making a difference).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] m4f1050:
If you have a carrier that doesn't require a login it should just work without doing anything. You can go to MENU/SETTINGS/WIRELESS & NETWORKS/MOBILE NETWORKS/ACCESS POINT NAMES and you should have at least one with "internet" as APN, don't know if name matters, but that would be "Android." In that APN you can setup username, password, proxy, port, and even MMS stuff which in most cases it is empty. If your carrier doesn't require username and password try removing the "none" in username and password and try again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] uub11:
are you having and in-call issues on your tilt2? or anything with mic not working?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I don't know if this is a bad idea, but I know it's not right! Basically every zImage should come with a modules file - and on the first boot, the new modules are installed. That's it... don't rename the modules file whatsoever.

So... you can't connect to the internet over the cell radio? I don't get what the problem is.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
I'm not really sure - I don't get many phone calls :rolleyes:.

I've also been doing the "call voicemail in WinMo & put it on speaker then boot into Android" trick to ensure the microphone works for Voice Search, so I don't know if that means it'll also work on incoming calls. I'll have to figure out a good way to test that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] m4f1050:
Yeah, I think that's a bad idea as well, just giving him an idea of what to do to get them loaded, he's probably not loading the modules at all... :)

phhusson has uploaded a couple of commits to the kernel this evening, one '<camro> Fix poweroff with a delay after sending DEX poweroff command.', and the second '<OliWe> Fix micro mute on boot'.

Caffeine seemed to work but it left my screen on and if i hit the sleep button it would not pull out so I set my pm.sleep_mode=2 in the startup.txt and it seems to have solved my problem. Plus with caffeine I could not lock my screen without a screen lock app.....

This is supposedly for topaz/rhodium that I found on the xda wiki:

* '4' will do "wait for interrupt", no change in arm11's clock or voltage

* '3' will do "wait for interrupt and ramp clock", the arm11's clock is lowered to 20MHz instead of 300-500, and voltage is lowered too.

* '2' will do "app sleep", arm11 is still on, but put into low power mode (registers are still saved)

* '1' and '0' will totally power off the arm11 (so we have to restore registers and things ourself), don't know the differences between them.
