Yes I would be very much interested in this also. Would be good for running a mapping program on a laptop. GPS over wireless would be good too.

After some hunting I havent been able to find much other than a few guys hacking out software that utilises the SPP (Serial Port Profile) bluetooth profile. You'd need to expose the GPS hardware (Com9/dev/tty??) using SPP, Problem is, from what i have read, SPP is not supported in the SDK. Correct me if i am wrong.

Hi,

I would like to get involved in the XDAndroid development.

I already set up the working environment according to android hxxp://source.android.com

I know there must be lots of modules and patches to the kernel.

But what is the starting point for porting adroid to TP2?

Is there a guide or wiki, or anything I can start to check out source code and build the kernel?

Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
There's a page on AndroidonHTC, here, which explains how to obtain the source and build the kernel. HTH
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] betterwang:
Yes, I saw that link.

It doesn't seem for Touch Pro2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Look under the third section, titled

It's a multi-device kernel, so multiple devices all utilize the same git repository.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] betterwang:
I followed the text, downloaded everything, set up the environment.

But the build.sh wont work, lots of errors.

Any detailed tutorial?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] veeeee:
Things are constantly changing and I doubt anyone has time to keep an up to date guide. You'll most likely find better help in #htc-linux on freenode

I'm trying to setup eclipse for Android but have run into an issue.

I'm following the guide here: bah, I can't post outside links from being a new user. But if you go to developer (dot) android (dot) com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html -- This is the part that I'm stuck on.

I've got eclipse to download the ADT plugin, but when trying to follow "Configuring the ADT plugin" I open the preferences via Windows > Preferences (step 1), but there is no "Android" option on the left hand side as indicated in step (2).

Any idea why this would be happening?

Thanks,

~kb

EDIT: This should really be in the base android development forum. I've messaged a moderator to hopefully get it moved, sorry for posting it in the wrong forum.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Nameless931:
The Android option is not coming up under Window>Preferences in Eclipse after installing the ADT?

One reason that this may be occurring is because of Windows 7 security settings. Try starting up Eclipse with “Run as administrator.”

1)	Start Eclipse with ‘Run as administrator’ (It may ask to change workspace directory. I just made it c:\workspace temporarily.)

2)	Download the ADT plug-in with Eclipse as directed in the Android documentation

3) Profit

Note: I did not have to run as administrator every time. Once it was installed I could see it when I started Eclipse normally, but I had to set the Android SDK directory again.

eclipse : issue fixed

I just signed in as I wanted to let you know about that issue I got.. fixed !

I tried several tricks so to speak, uninstalled Eclipse, uninstalled ADT plugin, reinstall the SDK, tried with and without adding the SKD path to the $PATH...

Using linux, I just deleted the .eclipse directory that was in my home directory.

You will have to add the repository for the ADT plugin to be installed, install the plugin... and restart Eclipse (not to mention you'll have to reinstall ALL the plugin you added, correct me if IM wrong).

Then you should be able to set the preferences about the SDK path... and have a new menu item :) (new project -> android )

Dont ask me what happened while upgrading my ubuntu from 10.04 to 10.10, I actually didnt take some time to investigate about it (ubuntu64 10.10)

(sorry about my english by the way)

[HD2 General] regis.stration:
I know that HTC and carriers put stuff in startup that may have no benefit to the normal user. I have removed the following, and wondering if I am missing anything, since all seems to be working fine.

Instant Forward

PKG

POUTLOOK

SyncManager

What are each of these "supposed" to do?

Thanks

Edit: just flashed new TMO US ROM 2.13. two new processes are running:

siHome.exe

siwatcher.exe

they have something to do with the new Tmo app "MyAccount" which gives you direct access to your online account info; minutes used, etc. I killed both with no problems. MyAccount will not load, but this is ok for me. I can't find how the processes are initially loaded, and have to kill them each time I restart.

Anybody know where these are loaded; registry?
[HD2 General] nomap:

[HD2 General] bobthemad:

[HD2 General] rlee008:
i was also wondering about this so what i did was create a folder in the windows directory called "startupbackup"

\\windows\startupbackup\

and moved everything from the \\windows\startup folder into the folder i created. everything is working as normal and so far i havent had any problems or missing anything when i bootup. the only file i left in the original startup folder was HTCStartUp because i think maybe its what starts up HTC Sence or something? either way its safe to clear everything from the folder and not worry about your phone not starting up. i just did made the backup for those "just incase" times...

rlee
[HD2 General] regis.stration:
Nope! Don't need that one either. I read somewhere that HTCStartup runs some file hat dosen't exist. May have been there for carrier to start some process?? I took it out a long time ago, and no problems.

I did however find that bluetooth will not work if I took out BTTrayCE.lnk which runs \windows\BTTray.exe

[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
I think the issue here is that there is an already active thread about the Sprint 2.1 release date. The mods already combined threads together.

Apparently, the release date of the 2.1 image is causing some people to lose patience and tempers. Not trying to excuse it, just offering a possible explanation.
[Hero CDMA General] mikehager66:
As a short timer on these forums I find it hard using the search to determine how many threads are out there already and if someone posted the information already. This is a very active forum and there are so many posts I am sure there is a lot of duplicate information. Being a moderator must be a full time job on active forums like these. To be safe I usually do not post anything new for fear of someone overreacting and sh*tting down my throat (and I assume that's for the best to prevent duplicate postings). I let the experts do all that, but it's too bad someone can't share information without someone acting like an ass.
[Hero CDMA General] smw6180:
Share all you want. Just make sure there's not 50 threads about it already. It's fairly easy to use search (even though you say you have a problem with it) for '2.1 release' or 'sprint 2.1' or something. It's all in your search terms. People don't tend to get pissed off unless there have already been a LOT of threads posted...and until recently the mods weren't doing a whole lot of moderating so we'd have 10-15 posts on Sprint 2.1 rumors...which is why each time someone opens a thread like that they get jumped on.
[Hero CDMA General] smw6180:
It doesn't help when people like you make an obvious troll post like the one I quoted. If you have a problem with someone, take it PM's, we don't want to read about it.
[Hero CDMA General] tejasrichard:
1. Read This.

Not only that but, unlike you, he didn't use inflammatory language or resort to name-calling. I fail to see how his post was rude.

2. The point is, he didn't even have to do a search, he just needed to pay attention. The article he linked, links right back here...to our very own forum.

This is a developer's forum folks. Even noobs are expected to be proficient in certain areas. Like searching. If you don't like the search feature provided by XDA, use Google and specify XDA as the search location. In most cases, if you didn't spend an hour searching, you didn't give due-diligence. Think that sounds like too much work? Hey, post away! But don't get upset when someone points out your negligence. I am not picking on you, op, and I certainly am not trying to be hostile towards you or anyone else. There have been a lot of posts lately attacking forum users who are simply trying to get others to follow forum rules. Remember, knowing how to click the search button and knowing how to properly search are 2 different things.

People learn by being taught in a proper manner. Excuse my offensive language but why do people need to be a smart butt to someone that doesn't know. I'm sure since one of the guys first post and interaction is met with rudeness. I guess there needs to be a huge disclaimer on top of this website that says noobs please take your business elsewhere.

[Hero CDMA General] DevinXtreme:
Sigh. Thank you. I was going to post about exactly this, but didn't really have the motivation. My post wasn't meant to be rude or flaming, but asking a direct question. I'm still incredibly new to these forums, but I lurked before I finally joined and knew what to expect. I search, and I've been successful in finding my answer all but once. And even when I did post my question, it just turns out I wasn't searching hard enough. The reason I bring all this up is that all the threads posting with the same information, especially when they have to do with 2.1 rumors (which bogs down a search for ANYTHING related to the 2.1 releases).

Point is, I wasn't intending to be rude, but was met with rudeness anyway. The people complaining are just as bad as the people they're complaining about.

The OP has 279 posts (as of this posting) and has been a member since February 2010. This is far from "one of his first posts." :/
[Networking] ishtangli:
I think this is a general problem so I'm posting it here.

I have an Omnia II connected with Globe Telecoms in the Philippines. I can surf using HSDPA/3G + Opera Mobile without any problems.

Recently I tried to connect my laptop using Internet Sharing. I connected the phone, ran the app, and nothing happened.

I then installed WMWifiRouter and found out that the problem was the IP address (I am not getting one). I managed to find a workaround: open Opera first, let it connect, then open Internet Sharing. Doing this, I am assigned an IP and can successfully surf.

The question is, does anyone know why I am not getting an IP? Does it have anything to do with the settings or Opera?

[XPERIA X1 Accessories] azian_advanced:
This battery is available now for pre-order at http://www.mugenpowerbatterijen.nl/pda_htc.html and will be released 2nd week of May 2010.

It's a standard size battery so it will fit inside the original back cover and it's an extra 300mAh so it provides an extra 20% of battery life compared to the original.

However, based on another battery from the same manufacturer (3600mAh extended battery as reviewed here), it doesn't show an accurate reading of the remaining battery life. So I wonder if this will be the same?

If anyone is willing to purchase this battery and try it out, please post a quick review in this thread. Thanks
[XPERIA X1 Accessories] :
1800mA

Battery corresponds exactly to originally, but I am the same as my one more jear old. Compared to the HTC Blackstone; screen 3.8 inc Battery: 1350 mA opened applications, and this screen machine 3.1 battery 1800 mA open the same applications. For the same time for the same application at the same percent and HTC Blackstone with me on my machine.

After writing the company and their advice four times completely empty and a full eight hours of never anything more of them did not receive a response.

The battery fits in this test, one of the 1200 - 1300 mA.

Sending back.
[HD2 General] ldominguez1986:
I keep looking at other forums and am trying to figure out if the SD card in the problem why the phone freezes? Does anyone know anything about this... Agree or Disagree :confused:
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
I happen to agree, based on the evidence in the half-dozen more threads here discussing that same thing. It'll be pretty easy to determine if that's your issue...try running the phone without the card in it, and see if that makes a difference.

Now, technically, I believe the issue is related to the card, but may not be beacuse of the card itself....it seems like the phone chokes when there's a lot of files on the card and it has to index them. People who install apps to the card seem to experience this (or at least report it) more than people who don't, which would support that theory because installing apps to the card fills it up with files faster (per MB of space) than even moving a bunch of music might...and a large number of files to index could lead to this kind of behavior (theoretically) as opposed to just a card that was "full" by occupied volume. Again, you can test this by starting with an empty card, then filling it up gradually, and seeing if the issue appears at some point in the process.

In my opinion, the commonly-seen lagging issues in these phones may often (but not always) be casued by a combination of factors:

-class-2 card

-high file count on the card

-sense's (and maybe winmo's..?) constant re-indexing of card contents

Now, some people have reported that copying the card's contents to your desktop, reformatting the card, then copying the files back on to it resolves the issue for them. So, bottom line...who knows? :D

EDIT: here's maybe a better explanation (by example) of what I'm trying to say about the card being "full"...

Example 1: you have a handful of .mkv files ripped straight from bluray on your card, ~2GB each....putting 7 of those files on your (16GB) card would almost fill the available volume. But, since that's a small number of files, it wouldn't take the phone long to index them at all, despite the card being almost completely full. (again, my guess)

Example 2: you install a bunch of apps (say, 30-40), and almost all of them to the card. Even though those apps won't eat a whole lot of space on the card total (far less than 1GB probably), each one can have potentially dozens of individual files installed for it. In this case, the card wouldn't show as being very full (just from the apps anyway), but the large number of files would potentially cause any indexing of the card to slow down in proportion. (guess what...still just my guess) And, a lower-class card could contribute to the slowness in this case too...that bottleneck could multiply the effects.

It may help some people out to hide the program folders on the card from indexing, just to reduce the file count that has to be sorted through, but that's just an idle thought that just occured to me.
[HD2 General] ldominguez1986:
Thank you, I do understand what you mean by the amount of files on the card. By the way, are you havong freezing problems with your phone??
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Actually, no...I've had absolutely zero issues with this phone, and I've had it (and used it constantly) for two weeks as of tonight. No freezing, no lag, nada. I don't keep a ton of stuff on my memory card (~15 mp3's, 4 .avi's, and 30-40 archived cabs, small handful of other junk), and I don't install any apps there (though I haven't bothered to remove the stock stuff put there by tmo).
[HD2 General] illconn:
I experience this lag, and altough i kinda agree with the card being the issue at the same time i am kind of hesitant. See the Card is a Class 2 which in theory will have a throughput of about 2mb a sec right? Mine peaks out at about 2.8mbps..... to me thats fast.... so i am not sure but i feel like the choke point is porbably in hardware. Again this is probably all bogus lol.

Like i said i do have this problem too, and i even reformatted my SD card and loaded all my files again. The problem still persist, and i really only notice it when i am listening to music via usb in my car. Also when i am scrolling through the pictures in my gallery(pics are in the SD).

Hope this makes atleast a bit of sense lol.
[HD2 General] jehlinger:
Disable Document Indexing by editing the registry or using a cab floating around the forums. Do a quick search and you should find it. This eliminates that lag no matter how many files on you SD card, with no degradation of performance opening files on the card that I can see.
[HD2 General] illconn:
nice man, thanks will have to look into that...
[HD2 General] DECIM8:
I have two HD2s (mine and my wife's). The experience with the two phones couldn't be more different. Mine has been perfect. My wife's has been very problematic. She has experienced slow, laggy performance, freezing that is only cured by pulling the battery, inability to unlock, text messages freezing for a minute plus, etc....... She isn't happy in the least that I convinced her to get rid of her blackberry.

On my wife's phone. I have tried a hard reset, various tweaks from these forums, switching in a 4GB class 6 card, removing the SD card completely and a few other things. Some helped a little but the phone just never worked right. It is currently being replaced by Tmo. With the troubleshooting I did I can't blame the SD card for the problems that phone had.

My phone on the other hand has been great and I have not had any problems with the SD card. I install all my games and non-essential apps to the SD card. I have ~650 MP3s on the card as well as ~900 various files that I take to and from work. There is a little over 8GB of data on the card with all these files. The only lag I have experienced is when switching to the HTC media player it takes a while (< 1 min) for it to index all my music and get to a usable state. I can try swapping in a 4 GB class 6 card to see if it makes a difference though since I have not had a problem I'm not sure I will notice a difference.
[HD2 General] adamhlj:
Will that mess with anything on the media player, tho? Like will it still sort the music into albums, artists, etc on the HTC media player?
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
From wikipedia, here's info on the speeds of the different class-ratings for SD cards:

so, if your transfers are capping out at 2.8Mbps, that's just a hair more than 1/8th of the 2MBps that the card should be able to handle.
[HD2 General] ldominguez1986:
Will the phone work as normal after installing the cab?? I am knew to xda and winmo. Been on android os since it came out. I hate to ask but could someone post the link for that .cab file that fixes the lag:rolleyes:
[HD2 General] DECIM8:
I saw that sirphunkee had posted in another thread that simply turning off your "recent documents" tab in sense should stop the indexing and therefore the lag as well. I had turned off the recent documents tab from almost the start of using the phone. I have not experienced the lag problem so this might be a testament to this working. I will turn it back on and see if things change for the worse throughout the day.

UPDATE: I have a had a little time to play with it during my lunch break. Everything seems to be fine with recent documents tab turned on. The slider seems a little slugish in now, like there is a second of lag before it moves. It doesn't happen all the time and I may not notice if I wasn't looking for it. I can brows just fine in the file explorer, texting isn't a problem other than the clunky interface, all is well so far.

Also of note is that I am running the stock ROM with co0kie's home tab and a slew of other visual mods (mostly transparencies). I also made quite a few changes to memory allocation via registry edits. This might be the difference and worth trying. I made many of the changes noted in this thread, basically all of them after "Suitable for all ROMs" and before "Added 11/2/10". I wish I would have thought about this earlier.

I have tried various Android releases for Kaiser and have been unable to get tethering to work with any of them. I have tried both Barnacle (Wifi), Android Wifi-Tether (Wifi and BT), and the native Android USB tethering (via Settings) with no luck. I haven't tried PDANet because it appears to require software be installed on the PC, which I'd prefer to avoid. Has anyone else had luck getting tethering to work in Android on a Kaiser?
