my review

alright so i've been using this thing for about a week and i must say i am impressed. :D . this is amazing. LOVE IT. i will try to give as much info as i can. to start off, when i first tried this, i was having a little bit of difficulty. i had a previous android version on my sd card and kept it on while i had this on. but when i booted haret, it wasnt working, didnt get past the coding stuff. but after being a little stubborn and trying every possible way, i listened to argggggggh's advice in formatting my sd card. I RECOMMEND THIS. after that it was smooth sailing. it went to the animation screen then to the lock screen which i then followed again arggggggggggh's advice and letting it sit for 10 min to do its thing. after that, it was running flawless. a little lag in between here and there but it was overall amazing. from here, the only problem i encountered was the battery life. the first run i did, the battery drained in less than a day which i thought i would not do this android thing again. BUT i noticed my LED light was red/orange the whole time which i saw that in the comments where it would say its running and green is to sleep. all i had to do was take off my gmail account sync, gps enabled thingy, and my data enabled thingy. FROM THIS, MY BATTERY LIFE WAS PRETTY GOOD, IT WENT ABOUT 2-3 DAYS which was the normal life of my tilt2 in the windows rom. so i started using this as my main rom? now. lol

Marketplace works pretty good, browser as well. camera. everything except from what i read was the gps app (i think, havent tried yet)

Now the only thing i would need a some help on is yesterday while i was in class, i lost my signal (all the classes dont have network signals) and when i turned off my phone, the LED was still red/orange. Did not even change to green. then i remembered that when not in use, we should put it in airplane mode, which i did. but the LED didnt change still and i didnt want to drain my battery, so for the time being i booted back to windows. now after charging, this morning i booted back into android, and i got signal but when i went to class i went into airplane mode and when i got out i wasnt able to exit airplane mode.

I would really appreciate for the help on resolving this issue. i want to know if in airplane mode, would the LED change and how to turn off airplane mode.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Well, poor/lost signal is a killer of any phone - Android or not. With that said, our port still has bugs to be ironed out.

However, you should be able to go in and out of airplane mode no problem - I do it all the time. What happened when you tried to take it out of airplane mode? Nothing?

The LED not going solid green (deep sleep) is usually related to GPS or some app that is killing sleep. Now solid green does represent deep sleep, but the phone does have to wake up at times to do various tasks - perhaps you're noticing it go orange when it does this? I would say if it goes orange for less than a second every minute or two that's no big deal. If however it's constantly blinking orange/green, that's not good.

What kernel are you on, the one included in the bundle? For the time being, I would recommend sticking to that kernel (1276) as the newest kernel has some issues that need to be worked out related to sleep - it almost sounds like you are on that kernel from your description.

Also, what type of service do you have? I would think airplane mode would work for GSM if it works for CDMA, but perhaps there is an issue with GSM/airplane mode...

I deleted the overclock cause I still got the keyboard. Well now I can't boot into Android. It goes to "launch a script file. Dfeault path is the same where the excuatable lives.

I didn't move anything or renamed STARTUP.txt.

maybe I should put all this in a folder instead of the root of the card.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Should be able to go wherever - you have a startup.txt that is filled with info? Sometimes that file gets blasted out to 0b, in which case Android won't run...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] segadc:
Looks like I did delete some stuff from startup. That's what I get for editing it from my TP2. I just downloaded the startup file again and its working.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Heh, yea if you do edit on your mobile you MUST make sure that you do NOT save the file in the special Word format. It'll mess up the file.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] antheat:
Thank you for responding.

When i go into airplane mode, i dont notice it when it goes in, cause when i go into settings and go to the airplane mode, it say disabling wireless connections. but it stays on there. i would then hold down the end button to do it from there. and when i try to turn off airplane mode, nothing happens. from what i can remember (sorry, i havent booted into android since until i can talk to you and see whats going on), i had to boot back into windows then boot into android again which i can then get service.

Yes i am using the kernel that came with the bundle.

I am on at&t-gsm.

Just curious though, i know you said that LED is fine when it blinks every now an then but not when i lose signal or go into airplane mode. I know that once i turned the phone off (having a signal and disabling the gps and email), in a few seconds, the LED will be green. but that doesnt happen to me when in airplane mode.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] slapshot30:
Interesting. I am on AT&T also and have the same issue. Sometimes my data will randomly go out after a while and not come back on. I try turning airplane mode on then off but it behaves as you have explained.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] The_Font:
Can someone explain to me how to tell if I have AOU panel?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
I have found that XDAndroid can't go into airplane mode if there is no signal. It seems to need to say goodbye to the network.

Therefore if you try to go to airplane mode when you have already lost signal, it'll just hang in an in-between state.

If you reboot, it will start in airplane mode, which you can then turn off.

This is all on GSM rhod100.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Entropy512:
I'm not sure if that's xdandroid-specific...

Airplane mode handling is wonky on my Huawei S7 too, with behavior similar to what you describe.

I have found that entering/exiting airplane mode from the menu that pops up when you hold down the power button seems to work better than the checkbox in settings, on both xdandroid and my S7.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Christiaan91:
EDIT: (If i'm right) AUO (some EID) is only for RHOD100 phones, all other types have EID panel.

2 ways:

ADB:

Windows

Other OS

Terminal:

Install Android Terminal Emulator.

Open and type:

su [enter]

dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt [enter] (or other direction)

Open file manager.

Go to your sdcad and open dmesg.txt

Look in the dmesg log for the lines:

Panel type detected: 14 <- this number is the number you need. 13 is AUO and 14 EID (Can be an other number)

htcrhod_init_panel: Initializing panel
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Thanks for your post!

I was going to mention the same method, but not nearly as complete as you did ;).

AUO is basically reserved to a few RHOD100's. We had literally one AUO panel pop up that wasn't a 100, but it was an engineering special device...so that was unique to say in the least!

I was also going to mention, I don't know if this panel type code is in the main kernel - you can certainly try it in the main kernel, but if you don't have any panel type in your dmesg either a) you didn't run it early enough (log will overwrite itself when it gets too long) or b) the code isn't in the main kernel, try WisTilt2's test kernel - I

know

the panel type code is in that kernel :).

Definetly I used Total Commander or whatever its called to edit the txt file.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Total Commander isn't the culprit, Word is...

I assume it's working well now? It appears you never did post it...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] segadc:
Right I was just saying I didn't use Word. The culprit is me deleting ;)

Yes everything is working again. I am not doing the overclock method.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Oh you deleted it! I missed that :p.

Glad to hear it's workin again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] segadc:
I noticed wifi is not working for me. Weird. Also ipv6 is not working even after I do the mprob command or whatever (says its not there).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ispidotbe:
Everything works fine for about 2-3-4 minutes. Then device hangs. Only hard reset solves it.

More people with the same issue?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Hard reset - I wonder if we have some terminology issues here. Hard reset = reflash phone to set ROM back to normal. Soft reset = pull battery or hit reset PIN - like rebooting your computer when it locks up.

At any rate, I'm betting you have a GSM device and you haven't configured the APN correctly. I'm not sure why some folks work just fine, perhaps we have missing APN's in the conf file. I've heard a lot of people with this issue, and the solution is to put the phone in airplane mode IMMEDIATELY. Then, configure the APN correctly. Should be good.

Wifi works, did you change the zImage/modules at all?

There's certain devices that need an odd wifi-nvram fix, we can go thru that if wifi's never worked for you.

modprobe command definitely works in respect to Google Goggles - is that what you're trying to use ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] segadc:
Looks like I don't have froyo.user config file so I need to send that to my phone. I thought I had it but maybe its another deleted incident. ;)

edit: wifi works now and I had that modules file.

So I tried the modprobe ipv6 command. Now I get 'ipv6.ko' : Operation not permitted
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jevojim:
No Service after booting.

I booted my Sprint Rhod400 according to the first post, making sure I had the correct startup.txt (with force_cdma=1) after formatting my sd card with the hp utility. I also placed the ts_calibration file in the root of the sd card, and it appears to be well calibrated. It boots just fine, but I have no service and it comes up in airplane mode. Turning off airplane mode does not get it to connect. Essentially I have a phone that can't phone. I didn't get prompted to calibrate or to set anything -- it just comes with the screen locked. I tried deleting the data.img and rebooting, but I get the same results every time.

Any suggestions are welcome!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
force_cdma=1 should be all you need for service - where is this command in your startup.txt? Feel free to paste in here.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] fishingmedic:
Did you remove your SIM card???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jevojim:
Bingo -- the sim card was it. Thanks for the hint!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I always forget about that, thanks man.

Beyond me why people have SIM cards in their CDMA devices, but I guess Sprint ships them with a SIM installed...? For whatever reason my phone never had a SIM :p.

I added this to the FAQ, not sure why it wasn't there already ;).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jevojim:
The sim is there so Sprint can gouge you for phone calls when traveling outside the US. But in this case, it is clearly a useless option!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] The_Font:
AUO or EID?

I looked at the file but I can not find the frase: Panel type detected. I also tried

dmesg|grep -i panel

that also did not give any results. Is there something else I can look for to see what type my phone is?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Did you miss my post?

I said I was pretty sure this code isn't in the autobuild kernel, and you'll have to run WisTilt2's test kernel to get this output...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ezmc:
I have a Rhod100 UK version and this build seems to work horrendously on my phone. Constant freezing as soon as it starts up. I can't even get into the settings to change APN without it freezing on me. Any clues as to what's wrong?

It seems Blazn build has been the only one to work somewhat decently on my device.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] QuentinX5:
I think I have somewhat found the answer to this problem.

Earlier ago, my phone died and the problem came back after I had rebooted. I started waiting for it, and after I had returned, all my messages had vanished, and the delete old text messages box was checked. I have a good feeling that because of this and the override of the 200 text message mark, it was causing the Messenger app to experience a problem and crash until it had removed all the messages.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Which blazn build? Reef's one that was last updated on Sept28 2010? If so, it's gonna be mighty hard to narrow down what's different.

I've heard a lot of RHOD100 folk have this issue - try this, when you boot, IMMEDIATELY put the phone in airplane mode. I've heard sometimes after that step, you need to reboot - once you boot back in, you should be able to configure the correct APN and it'll work...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
It isn't the build that means Blazn works and frx05 doesn't - it is the very old kernel it is using.

Use the FRX05 build and do as arrrghhh says. I haven't used the kernel in that build, but the wistilt testing one certainly works if you go into airplane mode before setting apn.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] segadc:
Well now it works all of sudden (moprode ipv6) so I finally can use Google Goggles! I didn't do anything different but hey can't complain.:p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Good to hear.

There doesn't seem to be any side effects from enabling this command, so the next bundle will have it enabled by default ;).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] segadc:
Awesome!

Quick question. I know we can't receive MMS with CDMA TP2, but is there some way we can find out if someone sent us a pic or vid?

I remember an older build used to have weird characters and that let me know that someone sent me a mms. I just want to know so I can say to send it to me later.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I have Sprint notify me via email when I receive MMS... I'm not aware of another way to achieve that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] The_Font:
Sorry I must have missed that. I am running WisTilt2 kernel now. Panel is 13 so I have an AUO. So that explains why my cam is not working right and also the auto brightness?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] riszani:
I have rhod100 uk and running FRX05 smoothly, i don't even remove my sim card whatsoever. even the APN was always on the proper setting on each first boot or after data.img deletion. have you tried to fullly formatted your SD before extracting the package in to it
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I thought auto-brightness works for AUO panel does it not?

AFAIK cam still doesn't work for the AUO panel folks, no.... haven't heard from jb in a while either, perhaps you should pull some logs and post over in his cam testing thread?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] The_Font:
If I switch auto-brightness on I can not get the display on after it shuts itself off. Maybe with the kernel I use now it works.

I go look for the cam thread and see if I can help by sending log files. I had the cam working once with an older froyo and kernel but unfortunately I can not remember what I was running at that time. I will see if I can find more info.

With the WisTilt2 kernel my display switches on when I get an incomming call so thats a nice plus also.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] segadc:
Oh really cool. I don't think I can do that with Verizon.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I'd be surprised if you couldn't - you can view your MMS messages online right? Goto that website and see what your options are.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] segadc:
Nope don't see anywhere that I can. I can send but not receive. I remember they used to have a place where u can check them but not anymore (i believe)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] fishingmedic:
How do you get email notifications when you receive an MMS to the Sprint site?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
I haven't tested properly, but I think auto brightness works fine in FRX05 with wistilt testing kernel on AUO rhod100. On the gingerbread alpha however it doesn't seem to work :(

Is that possible? Are there kernel parts to auto brightness and userland/system.img parts to it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
http://www.sprint.com/picturemail - I can't figure out where I set it up, but I definitely get an email notification when I receive picture mail...

For sure. Can you confirm for me? Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ezmc:
Thank you for the help guys. For some reason this build started working very well rather randomly. I believe I put on airplane mode and rebooted a few times. It froze the first few times, but then began working well and smoothly without any freezing at all. I didn't even need to change the APN settings. It's quite strange!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ctiger:
Well, I went to sprint website and found the picture mail site, that's it, I didn't see any option to forward. Sprint's website is like a maze, I just can't know where to go for anything. I found I don't really need to go to their website other than check my minutes, which is a good thing for me, I will be depressed every time I go.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
lol their site is like a maze...

I couldn't find it for the life of me, but I definitely get emails when a pic mail comes in... I'll do some poking around.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] segadc:
Oh wow I see where I went wrong with the overclocking. I did not add it to the existing cmd line. I also add the code to google voice to call! So yeah it seems faster!

Android wifi tether

Has anyone had any luck getting the android-wireless-tether working on this rom. I have tried 2.0.6 and 2.0.8-pre1 and both have the same error. It ask is the phone is rooted. I know this rom is rooted but for some reason it isnt giving the proper permission to this app. Was wondering if anyone has had any luck with this. If not, do you guys have any replacement apps for this.

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Why not just use the built-in tethering?

Also, XDAndroid's official wifi tethering app works pretty well, but for me USB tethering works best.

Gmail... I can't find where I set it up tho! I may just break down and contact Sprint... Oy.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jcannon:
I didn't see any built in tethering app, what's it called maybe I'm just overlooking it? Can u post a link for the xda wifi tether?

The built-in app is under Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Tethering & portable hotspot.

Freeze

Hi everybody, some one know why my phone freeze with this rom?

How can I solve this issue.

Regards.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arucard98:
Can you be a little more specific? What's causing the freeze, or when does it freeze.

What ROM are using etc...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
The most common reason for this is a mismatched APN on a GSM network.

Put the phone in 'Airplane Mode' as soon as the phone boots. You might have to reboot... then you should be able to adjust your APN or even add the correct APN.

Seems a lot of GSM/RHOD100 users are having this problem, I'm not sure when it started happening tho.

The only problem I'm having now is freezing associated with charging and leaving the phone on standby. It seems to freeze after 15-20 minutes on standby, and also freezes quite quickly after i attach the charger. Could this be an APN problem?

Am I the only one experiencing camera problems with a Rhod400 on this build? I'm using the kernel from 2011-3-16. Handset is a Sprint model. The camera program opens but the screen turns black and the camera never loads. I have successfully used the camera in WinMo, so I'm sure it works. It has also previously worked with the Sense build, but the build was too unstable to stick with long-term.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Did you try the kernel that's bundled with this pack? 1276, I believe it's from Feb.28...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bock3r:
I tried that one first prior to moving to the newer one, but the results were the same. I suppose it's possible I have something hosed in the startup file, but I used the one provided with the build. Might it help to simply nuke and pave?

Sorry if this has been asked before. How's the battery meter on this Android build? Windows Mobile shows the battery status at 88% but in Android it shows less than 10%. Is there any way to make it work properly?

Other than the battery meter, this build seems to be very stable on my phone and quite fast too. Keep up the good work. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Woah that's a huge diff.

There's an effort to get better calibration, but that's ridiculous - what kernel are you on...?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jellenl:
Thanks for this build. I downloaded it yesterday and I've been testing it today the whole day. It is very fast and stable for me. Also the battery time is very good (about 12 hours, with a bit heavier usage then normal).

I used android on tp2 about 4 months ago, but then my battery died (because of android) and my phone was stuck in bootloader, then I send my tp2 back for garuantee and they fixed it. But after that I was afraid to download android again, because there's a change that it would happen again. But I take the risks, because Andoid is a much much better OS for me then WinMo.

And because I was used to the build of about 4 months ago, this build is a big suprise. It works very good.

I can also report that the battery meter isn't working properly for me(in Android it shows 30% and in WinMo 5%), but that's a small point.

btw, I'm using the kernel that's included in this build.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] nasapunk88:
i had this problem too always. I couldnt charge my phone in android.

I have bad reception and going in and out of Edge and 3g (on AT&T) But now since i disabled 3G in WinMo it works perfectly all night long on a charger. No SOD"s, freezes or any issues.
