Arrrghhh

Sadly my build has died on me after my last bit of messing about. :( I shall have to wait until the new 07 arrives.:rolleyes: A quick question. If I build the 07 from scratch and then copy over the existing data.img would that work, or will it have to build from scratch, when it arrives?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] helicopter88:
In theory,you could use your data.img for frx07 builds,but as a lot of things are going to change,probably you should start from scratch..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jonners59:
Thanks Helicopter

but to save all the pain of settings, accounts and desktop layout etc, what is the best way of doing a build and keeping or recreating all that without trying to do it the slow painful method....?:confused:

I have Titanium backup, but the back up info, I guess, shall be buried deep within the old build somewhere, and is it any use?:eek:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] helicopter88:
The only thing that you could do to backup everything(correct me if i'm wrong) is mounting data.img and take your datas,then once you boot frx07 mount the new data.img and put back everything..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] LinoX:
I don't think it will work either because you have to take care of what system databases to restore/leave.

The most viable option is to start with an EMPTY data.img, use titanium backup to backup user app+data (this will preserve your applications/settings) and set up system's data again from scratch. (the system settings are a few: wifi, apn, device preferences and so on)

OR you could use the option in TB to attempt to migrate rom system's data. I'm not sure it will work but you can give it a try...

New Kernel avaiable now

I saw a new Kernal 20110711 is available @ http://zimages.googlecode.com/files/htc-msm-linux-20110711_082424-package.tar.bz2

Question: What are the different functions between kernel, rootfs and initrd ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] LinoX:
In a very simplified view:

kernel is the executable that talks with the hardware at low level.

initfs is the set of files called by the kernel that are used to initialize the basic system

rootfs is the set of files that are used to set-up the environment before booting android

system is the set of files of android itself and all applications that are part of the Android system itself + all the applications that you find when you boot the phone for the first time (preinstalled)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] zengyee:
I put "rel_path=FRX06" at the first line of startup.txt, it doesn't work.

Where should I put it? I really need to place them in a folder.:p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] traumadog:
It should be inside the quotes of the 'set cmdline' phrase.

An example:

set.cmdline "rel path=frx06 lcd.density=240 msmvkeyb_toggle=off...

Kernel 20110711 Hung at booting screen

After replace the Kernel files with 20110711, it hung at Haret.exe booting screen.

it works after roll back the Kernel files with previous version.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] gallahad2000:
You only use that if your haret and android files are in \storage card\FRX06\. If you just have them sitting on the root of the sd card you don't need that line.

Choices?

so I guess I speak for most newbies on this board.

:confused:

I would like to know what build would be the best choice for some one that is looking for the most functionality (I.E. working camera wifi and so on) Gingerbread or Froyo?

I've been testing the 2.3.3 version

full_msm-userdebug 2.3.3 GINGERBREAD eng.bryan.20110311.162413 test-keys

and it seem to be highly functional.

however it seems to me that there is alot more activity for the froyo build.

any suggestions.

FYI data and everything works great with current build via AT&T service
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] leethedon1:
Looking forward to an update on Android on the TP2. Seems like the device can run it no problem. Which makes me wonder why there was never an official release for it??

Anyone know why that would be?

I hope to have a fully working AndroidOS on this device one day...

But i fear that too much time has passed since release. It's not a new phone anymore. People have moved on. It's not even a powerful device by today's standards.

Although i always thought games would play well due to the 64mb dedicated graphics, but it still struggled with the FPSEce emulator. Shame.

If this device had a 1ghz cpu, bit more RAM, bit more ROM, better GPU, (AndroidOS) i honestly think it would be the ultimate phone. The look, layout, keyboard etc are top quality.

It might not "be" the part, but it still looks it.

My passing thoughts...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
FroYo is more stable - I certainly prefer it. GB is getting more active development, but has a little bit to go to get up to snuff with FroYo. Next release should bring them pretty close to eachother.

So try 'em both - you can have many builds on your SD card at the same time, just adjust the rel_path and put them in different folder.

You serious? How is HTC or your carrier going to profit from putting another mobile OS on a phone that no body sells new any longer...?

Answer is, they won't. Be happy they upgraded you to WinMo6.5 officially, lol.

Most things work now. Not much is left in the "completely not working" column...

As for games, most require OpenGLES2.0 - which these devices do not support. The specs are pretty paltry compared to most native Android devices - not many are specced as low.

Agree completely. I love this phone, feels solid, has a great kbd... Haven't found a worthy replacement yet! I think that's why we're all still here... granted dev work isn't as active as it once was, but we're still very much alive...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] championc:
I have a problem with the screen brightness. Basically, I cannot see the screen in bright daylight. I have the auto-brightness set to off and have the brightness slider up the whole way. I know the TP2 can do it because in sunshine, I can see the XDANDROID animation when it gets bright half way through it's sequence before the time screen finally appears.

Any suggestions ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
Which device? I get the impression that the rhod100 with AUO panel doesn't do screen brightness as well as the other devices with the other panel.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I don't think manual brightness is working flawlessly. Have you tried auto-bl? That should work correctly, but I guess it's possible that's not flawless either...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] highlandsun:
Both leave a lot to be desired. Auto seems to vary randomly for nor apparent reason. Manual just seems to be miscalibrated, neither the max nor minimum settings are actually at the max or min brightness of the screen.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Gilliland:
Indeed. I bought a new Evo3D last month, and I'm getting ready to return it. It's a wonderful device, but it sucks as a phone. Drops calls all the time in areas where they worked fine with my TouchPro2. And when it is connected, I find that I can't understand what people are saying, nor can they understand me. The 3vo does lots of things very well, and the dual-core makes it fast, but as a phone it leaves a lot to be desired.

If the devs here get Froyo (or other Android) to fully work on the Rhod400, I won't miss the new phone at all. For me, the sticky point right now is full support for headphone output. I'm glad to see that the devs are working on it at this point, but it still looks like there's a lot of work to be done - for both the 3.5mm jack and the USB one. So even though I've been out of the loop for the last few weeks, I'm still keeping an eye on this forum. Thanks to the devs for keeping this project moving along!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Dude if all you want is 3.5mm jack, see this thread. It's in the newest autobuild kernel ;).

My buddy just got an Evo3D himself, I don't think he's having any call issues... at first he said 3g was acting wacky, and he got a PRL update... had to actually pull the battery on the phone to reset it, but after that he said it's been better. Seems odd that you have to pull the battery to reset the dang thing, oh well.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] fortunz:
If you are interested in more than just 3.5mm output (which seems to work quite nicely), I've always imagined donations to be the best motivation. Help inject some caffeine into acl's system and maybe he'll code faster. :) If output is all you wanted, caffeine is a nice gratuity too.

I'll soon make a second donation to him myself and the more the merrier.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] leethedon1:
Where do we go for information on progress and updates on this project?

Or is it one of them kinda deals where you just have to keep quite and keep checking back every now and again?

Some creators & developers like questions asked, others prefer for the community to wait patiently.

I don't mind either way, just curious on how this operation is being run.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] highlandsun:
A smart user would probably watch the commit traffic on the gitorious repos. If commit logs make no sense to you, then it would be best to just keep quiet and sit back and watch.

Meanwhile, FRX07 is now out! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1171052
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Gilliland:
I need the output to work, and I need the on-phone mic to remain active (which it apparently does not at this point). I haven't tested the 3.5mm support yet, but from the thread, it sounds like it is quite limited. I know that the USB headphone support tends to work once, but breaks easily if you disconnect and reconnect a time or two. I don't know if the 3.5mm support also suffers from that problem. (I can't really test it until I actually return the new phone.)

Still, I have to give kudos for the fact that someone is finally working on these areas - I'm very glad to see it!

after i run the haret.exe on my touch pro 2. there is a keyboard on the top of my screen.

how do i removed the keyboard??

thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Did you remove this line from your cmdline in the startup.txt?

msmvkeyb_toggle=off
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] garfchong:
no, i didnt remove it... do i need to remove this line?

beside, the htc sense is not there. where to download it??

tq
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] garfchong:
i found the mistake already...

i wanna add "real_path" to the cmdline but i put it outside the semicolon....

now fixed already.... tq
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
This build has nothing to do with Sense. It's AOSP. Sense is not a download, you have to get a build with Sense in it. Our phones are pretty slow already, Sense makes that even slower...

Wi-fi

I'm using Rhodium on 6.5 and I just installed android. But when I use Wi-fi it starts scanning and then it says there is an error that occured in Application settings. Afterwards my wi-fi automatically turns off. Any solutions?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] fishingmedic:
Did you read the FAQ's? http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Faq#WiFi_doesn.27t_work_at_all.3F
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] elementyy:
No I hadn't read that before. I just read it. So will the wifi-nvram-generic.txt fix my problem?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Only if wifi has absolutely, positively never worked before and you've tried every other possible solution.

Also, this thread is now deprecated. I need to get a mod to fix this...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] elementyy:
Thanks really ^^. My wi-fi had never worked on android boot.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] elementyy:
Oh and where is this "Dev tools" that I have to open? I cannot find it anywhere because for sure F22 hasn't explained it at ALL.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
It's in AndroidApps. FRX07 maps call to home OOB... Please stop posting in this thread.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] elementyy:
I'm posting for last time. Dev tools is a program that is not built in this version of Xdandroid. I cannot download it as I don't have Wi-fi and I cannot install it as I don't have any file explorer. In this android I cannot find Dev tools. I'll be waiting for a good version of Android. At least you've fixed the camera despite the fact that Wi-fi, dev tools and sd explorer are missing.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I told you, Dev Tools is in AndroidApps. Specifically AndroidApps\Other.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] elementyy:
I'm not seeing such an application as Dev Tools. I see an application named Development I don't know if it is the application you're writing about but when I boot, I cannot see it in the Application manager. I do apologize for bothering you but this might be useful not only for me so I'd be delighted if you have any ideas about that and if you reply.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Development.apk = Dev Tools indeed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] elementyy:
How can I possibly run the application when I have booted because when I open app manager- storage card it doesn't display any application (the list is empty) and this app isn't in the other lists either ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I don't know how to answer this question. What exactly are you trying to achieve?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] elementyy:
Well as I already said my wi-fi isn't running. I visited the xdawiki FAQ and I saw that "If you have tried to use WiFi and every possible fix suggested fails - and the error states "Unable to scan" the issue probably lies in the wifi-nvram.txt file - basically Android doesn't know the MAC address of your WLAN card. See F22's post on how to workaround this issue." was written. So in his post there are 4 instructions etc.. I saw the MAC and replaced it with the XXX's and then copied the new .txt document in the root of the storage card where my android boot files are as it was written in F22's post. But the next step is to use the Dev tools app to select terminal emulator which I said I cannot find in the app manager or anywhere else. In the appmanager there are some levels like Downloaded, All or SD card; In the "All" I see some applications but in the level "Downloaded" or "SD card" I don't see any - the list is empty. And the fourth step is to insert a command which will bind the .txt file with my android through the terminal emulator.

F22's post : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9187263&postcount=80

As you replied, I will solve my Wi-fi problem by following the steps in F22's post because I had already asked if it would help. This is exactly what I am trying to do. Just if I find the Dev tools, I will be able to use Wi-fi on my android boot.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Just use the froyo.user.conf file, and place that command in the CustomCommands section. That way you don't have to worry about that mess... I should probably rewrite the directions for that process....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] elementyy:
I have the froyo.user.conf file but could you re-write the instructions again? What is the command where and how to use it and how to bind it to the wi-fi .txt file?

I will give you 5 thanks per day if you solve my problem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I don't need your thanks... but ok.

It's the same command, just put it in the CustomCommands section of froyo.user.conf. Not sure what you're not grasping here.

I guess instead of cp'ing the file you should ln -s it. That's the only thing I would change - obviously don't include the SU and change cp to ln -s.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] elementyy:
I think I got it. In the froyo.user.conf file to open it. Just in the end to add "# ln -s /sdcard/wifi-nvram.txt /data/wifi-nvram.txt" instead of

"# cp /sdcard/wifi-nvram.txt /data/wifi-nvram.txt" because the custom commands are in the end of the file aren't they? Then save froyo.user as .conf file and put it on the root of my SD card where my android boot files are. And so when I boot the link between the wifi-nvram.txt and android will be made so I will be able to turn on wi-fi and scan without any problem right? Thanks in advance :p :p ...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yes... did you try it? Looks correct to me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] rpierce99:
froyo.user.conf goes in the conf folder actually, you'll be replacing the one that's already there.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Crap, I didn't even notice he said the root of his SD... Good catch.

elementyy - there should already be a froyo.user.conf file in your conf directory - simply edit that file.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] elementyy:
Well it didn't work. I replaced the conf file in the conf folder with the new one. When I run android it says: Unable to scan networks, afterwards it says Appliction settings(in process com.android.settings) is not responding [force close] [wait].

By the way I changed it by using notepad++ . Just enter for a new row and write # ln -s /sdcard/wifi-nvram.txt /data/wifi-nvram.txt - this is what I did. My wi-fi-nvram.txt is correct. Instead of the XX:XX:XX i put 00-23-76-CB-1E-03 which is my MAC. Doesn't work at all. Ty for the patience I will be waiting for android which runs Wi-fi on my phone...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] helicopter88:
if you put the # the line gets ignored..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
In addition to that, the MAC has to be entered with colons, not hyphens.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] elementyy:
First try - Unable to scan networks; Second try - Sorry! Application Settings(in process com.android.settings) is not responding. [force close] or [wait].

What I did : I opened notepad++ to edit froyo.user.conf file. I just removed the # which was before the ln-s and didn't touch anything else. Afterwards I opened wifi-nvram.txt with notepad++ and replaced the dashes with colons as you told me and the MAC was like this 00:23:6C:1E:03 instead of 00-23-76-CB-1E-03. I put wifi-nvram.txt in the root of my SD card and the new conf file I replaced with the old one which was in the conf folder. I checked about mistakes in my MAC but I didn't see any. To be more exact I will show how does my conf file look in notepad++ (not the whole but the end) :

# custom shell commands, these commands run last

custom_shells{

chmod 777 /etc/dbus.conf

#echo 2 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch

rm -f /sdcard/fsck*.rec

modprobe ipv6

mount --bind /sdcard/Android/libhtcgeneric-ril.so /lib/froyo/libhtcgeneric-ril.so

#echo "Hello!!!" # example

ln -s /sdcard/wifi-nvram.txt /data/wifi-nvram.txt

}

I put the bracket to close the first one as the number of opening brackets must equal to the number of the closing ones as it is in C++.

Hello,

I have bought an HTC Touch Pro II GSM phone. Want to have the privilege of DUAL Boot Android & WM. Honestly speaking, I am not that much of a technical guy but I can understand step by step instructions of making things work.

I understand that there is mainly 2 steps for the dual boot

STEP 1: Install Gen.Y DualBOOT

STEP 2: PUT the build rom on SD card & run the HARET.exe

For the first thread, I have gone through the thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=623792&nocache=1) for Gen.Y DualBOOT. This is done.

The PROBLEM i'm facing in the second step.

1. Can't download GBX0A, 0B, 0C bundles. the links are not working anymore. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=951817)

2. FRX07 & 7.1 bundle download links are also dead. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1171052)

3. May I use the NAND versions instead of the BUILD versions for the same dual boot feature..? (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1965459)

Kindly give some suggestions about what to do next? & Any download links for relatively most stable Android 2.3 Build for HTC TOUCH Pro2 GSM mobile?

Any help shall be highly appreciated.

Thank you.
