[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sovereignty:
I added a mediafire mirror if you still have trouble. Please let me know if you still have issues with filefront. I really don't want to have mirrors...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] drewcam888:
Will you be adding a feature so this startup utility can update itself?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] m3evo:
I installed the XDAndroidStartup1.3 cab and tried to update but it keeps saying "update server not available".
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] aalim:
Thanks a lot for the mirror

i could finally download it

THX
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wanderingsilver:
Sorry, but I can't find where I got that from now. I know I did a Google search after looking in the XDA forums. Anyhow, did you find anything on it. I'm not coming up with anything now. I thought it was something to do with the screen.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wanderingsilver:
XDAndroid Startup Utility v1.3

This is working like a dream. I'm using your Startup settings. :) The load is pretty fast, the update to the image and boot went great, so all in all superb so far! I do get the screen coming up in landscape and not portrait no matter how I hold the phone. I assume the accelerometer is still staring up. Ideas on that? It will kick over properly if I go into something like the calculator. Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sovereignty:
I found that what you previously posted was some older settings that aren't needed anymore.

Thanks for the compliments!

About you screen coming up in landscape, I'm assuming you maybe had it in landscape when you launched the app. Is this correct? That would answer why you have seen that. Try sliding out the keyboard and putting it back in. This app is built off of the Windows Mobile Pro 6.0 SDK which doesn't support accelerometers (at least not easily out of the box). I had to build off of 6.0 because some phones that I support do not use 6.5.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sovereignty:
What kind of connection are you using for internet access on your device? You will get that message if the ping times out that I use to check if server is reachable before downloading.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sovereignty:
It's possible, but not likely. There will not be as many updates now that v1.3 it out, so right now I can't justify a reason for it. I'm going to be working on beta version for v2.0 now which will segregate the update files for smaller downloads, but that might be another week or so.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] outerdepth:
+1 I totally agree. This app rocks. I have been comparing this newer 1.3 build and it works as intended. It looks like ALL the bugs have been worked out. Great work, man.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sovereignty:
Thanks! Thank you to all that helped with bug reports!

Coming soon...Rhobuntu Launcher!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wanderingsilver:
On the landscape side of things, it seems I can hold my phone in a upright portrait position and still it comes as landscape. I'm betting it is what you mentioned about use the 6.0 SDK. No worries though. I can merely enter about any app and it kicks in fine.

New issue though some asked me about, the power button on top used to act as a home key not it is acting like power. Not a huge issue but I thought it was worth mentioning. I want at the camera more then anything though. I work in the wireless device management industry and we deal with lots of scanner devices. I like testing with my camera and Android seems to have some good scanning apps I wanted to check out. I should really looking into some dev tools and see what I can figure out...

Great App love it just one thing updating with wifi and i get "update server not available". But when i do it with 3g it works fine no biggie just not sure why?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sovereignty:
You may have noticed before that Reefer's server was blacklisted by Google. And, it's his server where we are keeping the update files. He's still waiting for it to be removed. Depending on the security settings of the access point your using, that could be the reason why the server is unreachable through wifi. I am able to update all day long with my wifi router and even on the Edge network where I live, so it's just that the app is unable to get a response from the server for some reason when your on your wifi access point.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sovereignty:
1) Try sliding your keyboard in and out in the app.

2) Get on the irc channel #xdandroid and #htc-linux and those guys can answer those questions. Or, I know several users are talking about it on Reefer's thread
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] aalim:
application is working perfectly

would you please let us know what's new in each update...

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] trilbert:
How can I see what the updates contain?

There are a lot of updates, but how do I know what changes after an update?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Read on the autobuild page...? Not sure how easy it would be to integrate the updates into the app... Sov? That would be cool, but it seems like it would be difficult to implement...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Alcoholic:
I had the same problem downloading over 3g instead of Wifi. He probably won't have that problem if he uses wifi.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sovereignty:
Are you and aalim talking about system updates? That can be found on Reefer's page HERE when he updates the main page.

Are you talking about app updates? There won't be any more updates for the app until 2.0 comes out. I'm thinking about adding auto update then.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
No, I think ppl want to be able to see what they're updating to - so before they hit update they see some text of what's in the commit. Make sense?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sovereignty:
Before hitting update???? I get your drift...It would, of course, take a bit of time and work, but it's possible. Reefer's page should mostly be a good resource for seeing what's new, but frankly, anyone using the project should go and view the related commit logs. I'll think about it and see if I can justify the time spent. Right now it's a collaboration between myself and Reefer to post these updates, and then if we decide, to add changelogs to view in the app. One problem is that we don't always know right away exactly what was changed, and waiting to find out the answer would hinder the speediness of posting the update for the app. A good example of not knowing exactly what was changed is 2010_10_16 where there was a new kernel build, but the gitorous repository didn't show any comments on that day...

If I decide to add this feature it'll be in V2.0. I don't plan do add any more updates to 1.x.

Regards,

Sov
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
No worries bro - I didn't think it would be easy or justified by any means. But for better or for worse, your app makes it too easy to update and people just click the button blindly, and have no clue what they're updating to. Perhaps just provide a method of letting the user know _what_ they're updating to? Like the name of the original file from the autobuild so they can at least cross-reference what they're using. Dunno... Good work either way, making it too easy to do something is a blessing & a curse :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sovereignty:
LOL...Blessing and a curse is true. I will ponder on this feature and decide at a later date. But, very much thanks for the suggestion! I didn't think of this before. I just figured the ones serious about following the development of xdandroid would be inclined to research each file update...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Couldn't agree more. You know how peoples are. They say they click your update button and they're running the newest, but why is my power button not working anymore. Sigh... it probably still won't prevent posts like that. Wishful thinking on my part I guess ;)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] trilbert:
Wow, I never thought my question would develop this far! I was just curious about the updates, because I couldn't find the latest updates on Reefer's. The latest was on 4 oct.

But it would be really awesome to find the updates on the Startup!!!

System Update 2010_10_23 available for XDAndroid Startup Utility

Sorry for the delay! I've been busy... :cool:

Launch the app and press update!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wanderingsilver:
Have to say just updated and so far I have seen improvements. Now when Android starts up it is no longer landscape, but portrait like it should be. I also note that my USB connection, though still not coming up fully when connect to my Linux box. Not an issue with the updater of course. The updater has been great. :-) Thanks again Sov!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lbcary:
ill give u my thoughts about the XDAndroid startup utility. i think its the best thing to happen to Android developement for the Touch Pro 2 since the XDAndroid Reference and Blazns Android cabs were released. Thus making Android use on the TP2 so easy any noobie could now run Android within minutes. No more sdcard partitioning or any other mods or customizations needed that a noob might not be able to do,or understand. Now the new startup utility has made customizing Android and running Android on the TP2 even simpler and more customizable. Great work. The only recomendation i have is to use an sdcard that is at least a C4 or C6. The 1GB,2GB,and other C2 sdcards wont allow my data connection to function reliably when running Android,i use the sept 29 Blazns Android cab with the most recent startup utility.As soon as i use a C4 or C6 sdcard then my data connection works quite a bit better and Android seems to be alot faster,less button/screen opening lag,especially with my 8GB C6 sdcard. I would highly recomend a C6 sdcard when using Android.Believe me any size C6 sdcard makes a very noticeable difference compared to a 2GB or any size C2 sdcard. But that has nothing to do with the Startup utility or the XDAndroid cabs.Thats just how i was able to get Android to operate almost well enough for daily use,the only holdback is batterylife for me.I only get 4-8 hours depending on my usage. Cant see what to see future updates,especially the new Blazns cab release with the new startup utility cooked in.That will be awesome.Thanks alot for sharing your hard work with everybody and please keep it coming. Absolutely great work. Thats my opinion. Android development for the TP2 has come a long way. Thanks alot.

No service & switched to Airplane Mode

I got the Rhodium 400( HTC touch pro 2 for sprint) have installing the froyo. 60% of the time it will get no service and switch to airplane mode and cannot switch back. Please help...cause im loving this Android OS.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Radio doesn't play so nice in Android as of yet, especially for CDMA devices.

With that said, you MUST remove any SIM cards, and set the force CDMA command in your startup to 1. Assuming both of those things are being done, the issue is probably radio flakiness.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] leroy666:
Where would I go about setting the force CDMA command in my startup? And I added my yahoo email easily, however, are you only able to add one email? What happends when you have multiple yahoo emails?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
How does this apply to the startup app?

Anyhoo assuming you're using the startup app, just check the "force CDMA" checkbox on boot. Otherwise, edit your startup.txt and find the 'cmdline' entry - that's where all the adjustable commands that are passed to the kernel.

As far as Yahoo goes, I don't use it because they're awful. GMail FTW. Multiple GMail accounts are no problem whatsoever FYI. Does Yahoo even support push?

System Update 2010_10_29 available for XDAndroid Startup Utility

I have found a bug, but squashed it. You need to download XDAndroid Startup Utility 1.3.1 before downloading the 2010_10_29 system update.

Problem: I wasn't deleting old update file in previous versions, but this new system update ended up being a smaller file and it seems that significantly smaller files is causing a corrupt zip file after download overwrites the old one.

SOLVED!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Tippfehler:
After the actualization, the telephone starts no longer in Android. I see the XDAndroidstartup sreen with status lines on the bottom and on the top. Android is only booting, but later hanging, if I copy an older zImage in the andboot folder.

Is it possible that I have after a failded update my old zImage and other files back?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sovereignty:
can you post a screen shot? i dont't completely understand what you are saying.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Tippfehler:
I do not have a screenshot because the phone is hanging.

Haret is starting with two vibrations of the phone and then nothing, but a scrambled picture. I will try to make a photograph.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sovereignty:
Try updating again, but check the path in Advanced Settings first. The only thing I could figure (and maybe this is not your case) is if you updated with the incorrect path and then changed the path before booting or something. I'm confused right now. I need more information.

Probably the best thing to try is just update again like I said...

Do you remember what update version you had before this last update you did?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Tippfehler:
I have also reflashed my phone. Now I have installed Jackos WWE-ROM.

Updated many times, killed my andboot folder and installed clean version, installed new startup tool, new Storage Card, ...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sovereignty:
You have given me a good idea. I think in version 2.0 I will also include a way to revert to previous builds and be able to select which one you want to revert to. I was reading Reefer's thread a little and it looks like some others are having problems with the new 20101029 kernel...

If enough people have this problem I will revert the currentversion to 2010_10_23. To download with the startup app one would have to edit installedversion.txt to reflect a date less than 2010_10_23. I'll inform everyone later if this happens...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Sov, it seems to only be the RHOD100 - for some reason they aren't booting. I keep thinking it's got to be an issue with the startup.txt tho...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Naadi900:
This is the same how my dutch rhod100_uk looks like. When you revert to the first kernel from 10/23 which is located here your phone should boot again, only it will not have the recent updates.

Snalbansed, me and aarrrhhggghhg or whatever the spelling was :) were discussing this in the main thread.

Seems to me like it has nothing to do with startup utility, as it also fails when you hit haret.exe directly from the explorer.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wanderingsilver:
And the URL is....?

Been looking all over the 1.3.1 CAB but nada so far. Link me up please! Tried your XDA site but still nothing newer then the 1.3. I'm getting crashes on trying to update with 1.3. Behold, screenshots:

Still having the freezing issue.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wanderingsilver:
Updated News

OK, updated and all seems to work fairly well. word to the wise for those who may have the same issue, no incoming ring yet the volume seems set at max? Be sure to have your volume turned up in WindBlows before you boot to XDAndroid.

Besides that I also see that my battery drains within about 4-5 and I have turned of WiFi so that would not be a drain. But this is better then the lock ups I used to get that forced me to reset the device in the past. Neither of the above seem to have an correlation with the Start Utility as far as I can tell.

I again see the screen come up in landscape mode though I am holding the device portrait and it was portrait before I boot as well. It is easily resolved by clicking on just about anything and pressing the back button which then sets the application to portrait mode and all is well again.

All errors with the updating of the image are gone so bravo once again! So wish I had the time for development! I want to dig in and fix the damn camera and BT myself so they work too. Thanks again Sov for all your hard work allow the updates to flow! :)

Yea, I'm sure if something truly is broken then it'll just get magically fixed without the devs having any clue why it's broken in the first place...

Love the auto updater, one issue I'm running into though.

The most recent two updates I've tried crash the starup utility. Dates on the popup window are 11-03, 11-08 they both failed to extract.

So I went and downloaded them manually, while extracting 7zip reports "file is broken" on the kernel and img for incrimental updates... Don't know if this is just a temporary problem, or my 3g connection is tweaking the file, couldn't find a MD5 hash for the files.

Otherwise I too have landscape when I initially boot, this on occured after installing the 10-30 update that I am still running. Not a biggy, normally I start off with the screen slid out anyhow...Love my keyboard.
