No joy

I tried to install the new image and have not been able to make it work. This is clearly user error. As usual I have done something very silly.

I had the previous version which used the XDANDROID Startup. The location of folders and files on the SD card were/are:

"andboot" which is the main repository for the files and folders that are in the new build install in the 1st thread. "Media", "Androidaps", "conf", AndroExplorer", "XDAndroid Startup".

I have tried just changing the new "system.X2", but that did not work. It would freeze whilst booting. Then I tried installing all the new files and folders, replacing the old, but still could not get it to complete the boot up. Since then I have been playing and no doubt making things worse, trying every combination of new and old I can including deleting the "data" file. I get one of two things:

1. It boots to the screen with the XDAndroid animation, but does not go past that. I left it booting from 10PM to 8Am this morning but it was still showing the XDAndroid boot image. Or

2. I could get it to load, but it would freeze after about 3 minutes on whatever screen I was in.

I am using a Rhod100 machine with Vodafone, and my previous version of Froyo is 2.6.27.46-01253-gd53ddf6

I am back at using the new image and putting everything in to the "andboot" folder. If anyone can help me get it to not freeze, would be grateful....

If you think you can go 2+ days without charging the device, you must never be using it.

There's still a lot of bugs to sort out - this isn't meant to replace WinMo. Perhaps one day, but not at this stage. Still too many bugs to be considered a worthy replacement for most. I run it almost 100% of the time, and just deal with the bugs - I hate WinMo that much ;).

If that's a problem for you, stick to WinMo.

I don't know what you mean... I hope he didn't sell it to you under the impression that Android works flawlessly on our phones - the phone came from the manufacturer running WinMo, not Android...

While the possibility to run Android exists, there are some bumps and things you'll have to deal with. C'est la vie.

As to your question, I have no clue what you're talking about. All I can say is format the SD card and follow all the steps in the first post.

I'm having trouble following this comment as well.

So I assume you're having APN issues? You might have to put the phone in Airplane mode I've heard to prevent the device from locking up so you can put an APN in.

With that said, it seems to work well for most. I'm guessing we just need to flesh out our apns xml conf file, but can we really put all carrier info in there? Perhaps it would be better to put no APN info in there, so everyone must create it manually? Perhaps then we won't get lockups... Hmmmmm. I'm not sure what the best option is, perhaps I'll make a workaround (basically bind mounting an empty apns xml file) for those that do get lockups.

I'm not sure if that would work, but if someone is willing to work with me I'd be willing to try it - problem is, the builds work fine for me, so I don't have this issue :p.

Just saw your post... grrrr at that thanks button, I meant to quote your post :p.

Might be best for you to just start from square one. Format the card, follow the steps on the first post. Start over basically ;).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pitflyer:
I know its a known problem that if the LED light is on when you boot from WinMo to Android it stays on. But is it known that if the lights are off, you boot Android, then the red LED light comes on and stays on forever? Whether or not I'm charging?

This is on a RHOD210
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Ok, the LED indicate sleep status.

AFAIK LED can be anything in WinMo - it's the 4-button lights at the bottom of the phone that cause an issue with being stuck on.

The LED at the top again indicates sleep status - solid orange = full wake, solid green = full sleep. If you're running one of WisTilt2's test kernels, you get an additional blinking LED for the collapsing process - basically 'trying' to sleep.

If it's constantly orange, the phone isn't sleeping and you'll get horrid battery life. Should be solid green in sleep.

Check make sure GPS is disabled, etc.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pitflyer:
Maybe I used the wrong term. I am talking about the light at the top of my phone, right above the HTC logo and near the speaker, not the lights behind the buttons. In WinMo this light turns red when its charging and off when its not charging. I think it flashes green when I have voicemail or message. In Android, this light is always on for me. I tried disabling GPS and no dice, still on.

Phone charges fine and runs fine otherwise, just the light is always on.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
We are talking about the same LED - you don't seem to be understanding tho...

That LED indicates sleep state currently. So solid orange = full wake. Solid green = full sleep.

It does not indicate charging, notifications, or anything else. At present, it is used only to indicate sleep state. Hopefully that makes sense... It will always be on while you're in Android...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] fastscirocco:
I've done ALOT of reading over the last few months, and am succesfully running this on both our Rhod 400's. Wife love sit so much more she is willing to "work with" the battery consumption.

Huge provs to all the developers and those that have put time into testing; my wife GREATLY appreciates it!

I do have two questions:

#1 I used to have Palm Treo 700p, then TP2 with Win Mobile, we've been learning but am confused about one thing ... how do I shut down a program?

#2Based on more reading looks like there is a mod to make the lower right button into a "home button" but I can't find how.

Thanks

FS
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Glad you like it.

For #1, you don't really. Programs are put into a sleeping state so they can be quickly launched again. If Android feels you're running low on memory, it automatically kicks the oldest stuff out - effectively closing the program.

The theory behind that is if you use something frequently, it'll open quickly by staying partially open. The stuff that doesn't get used very frequently, just dies off eventually.

It's not actively using processor cycles, as I said the program is sleeping. If you are concerned about it, there's task killer apps - but Google strongly advises against the usage of such software, as they can cause data loss - killing programs before they have sync'd up their data. I only use task killers when I have a rogue piece of software that's running rampant. Other than that I just let the OS manage it.

As for #2, see this thread. Let's you customize all sorts of things.

If you don't want to go thru all that and simply want end key to be home you need spare parts. In the AndroidApps\Other there's a spare parts apk - or you can get spare parts from the market. Inside that app, there's an 'End Key Behavior' selection. This lets you change how the end key behaves.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pitflyer:
Got it. Well, then my phone is not sleeping. GPS off, wifi off, airplane mode on, still solid orange light at all times.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Phone is off the charger? No apps killing sleep?

If you reboot the phone, boot back to Android and just let it sit - does it ever go to sleep?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] fastscirocco:
I asked the question wrong, suppose I am in the browser and want to stop using the browser and launch pandora. Other than pressing the arrow button which seems to back up ... how can I leave the browser?

That's the link I read before, I'll re-read it .... thanks.

Hoping to get up to speed so I can "five back" so to speak.

Regards

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
You need a Home button. Either install spare parts as arrrghhh says and set the end key to Home, or use F22's rootfs and define how you want it to work. The advantage of F22's rootfs is that you can have the Home long press recent apps functionality working, at the expense of the end call hard button functionality, though there are options round this.

Is anyone else having problems getting wifi to work with the 25/3/11 build on a Touch Pro 2? When I connect to a wireless router I get as far as entering the WPA code but then it hangs at "Obtaining IP address from router" (i.e. the o/s freezes and needs a hardware reset). It does this with 2 different wireless routers.

???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] capitanjrfr:
hi! everything works asome, I have only a minor bug when gone to sleep mode the phone lost the signal, i change the kernel to this one wistilt2-kernel-pack.zip and now everyting its fine.

thanks for all the hard work
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] capitanjrfr:
not, mine work awesome in wifi mode, i had this issue some time ago and y change my rom for other reason and when i use froyo the problem was solve just try!!!

rhod500 Plutonium rom & FRX06
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] SteelLife:
That's the folder in my storage device labeled Android. I was thinking it was capable with your Android FRX06.

I'm going to delete the Old Android folder and put yours there and install. Do that sound like the best thing to do? thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Wireless should work just fine. Did you change anything from the bundle on the first post? Usually people get tripped up on the modules matching the kernel, although I don't think this issue would be related to that...

Sounds like it. I don't know what's wrong exactly, so that would probably be the best course-of-action.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] fastscirocco:
Best thing to do is start fresh so you know exactly what you are working with. Fist reformat your SD card and then follow the steps exactly as outlined in post #1 of this thread. If I tried to tell you what to do I would essentially rewrite post #1.

HTH

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jonners59:
That does not sound good. I'll give it a go and get back.

How SHOULD I have done this to upgrade yet keep my install/settings, etc....? I've clearly done something silly.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Are you upgrading from FRX05? Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to.

You simply replace the system.ext2 file if you were upgrading from FRX05. I didn't change the rootfs or zImage from FRX05 since the newest kernels are not very stable, so I still bundle kernel 1276.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] itm:
No I just dumped the contents of the zip into \andboot on the Storage Card, moved the startup file for Rhodium 100 into the same folder, and copied the ts-calibration file into this folder as well. Is there anything else that I should do/check?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] TechGuy77:
Have not updated to FRX06 probably tonight yet, I am on FRX05. I am having an issue with data but I might have a stange issue. My Carrier is still Alltel but I have a U.S. Cellular TP2 with the latest Energy ROM on it and I have everything working but MMS for Alltel but I think I know the fix for that. My problem is when I start from scratch with Xdandroid and it gets to the lockscreen it shows U.S. Cellular as my carrier and I think this is the reason Android keeps locking up shortly after boot, it tries to get my data from U.S. Cellular. If I move fast enough and get it into Flight mode I can change the APN to an Alltel one found on the net. That at least gets me a 3G icon but no data or activity arrows. Anyone have any pointers to help get data working for me? It seems ## codes don't work on Xdandroid.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] SteelLife:
Would I lose all my setting from Winmo(I guess 3rd party software)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] SteelLife:
Just being cautious!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] dcmedic:
just backup all the data on the card, format it using full format (not quick), then copy all your data back to the card.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] fastscirocco:
Only if the programs were installed to the card, if that is a concern copy all the files from the card to your computer, then reformat the card and copy the files back onto the card. There is a format tool linked in the 1st post, use it as described in 1st post.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] toadlife:
Since moving to FRX06, I've experienced an issue where after being up for awhile the phone becomes very sluggish - not to the point where it is unusable - but still very slow. Opening up system panel app that shows CPU usage shows high CPU usage, but doesn't show any of the apps actually using any CPU. I thought it was the test ril from this forum, but the bug reappeared after removing the test ril.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Hrm... Can you do a little more debugging?

Check top when it gets sluggish. I don't know how well this works from the phone, but it works great with adb.

I would have to think it's an app, I've had this running for a few days straight no problems.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pitflyer:
Nope. I can set the screen timeout to 15 seconds so the screen goes dark in 15 seconds, but the orange LED stays on. I stopped wifi and disabled background sync and still no sleep. I have installed some apps so it is possible one of those is keeping it awake, anyway to tell further?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] speckledpig:
I installed FRX06 on my Tilt 2. I have had a couple of random reboots (like a soft reset, but it was in my case on both instances). Also one "true" SOD.

Still kinda tough to wake up from sleep.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] toadlife:
I'll do that next time it happens.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I have one called "System Panel Lite" that shows me running apps and what they're using. Helps to kill rogue ones as well. Something is preventing the device from sleeping, that's obvious - just gotta figure out what!

Tough to wake is getting better with some of WisTilt2's recent work - I wouldn't say it's 100% resolved, but getting better. He's now in the process of bringing all his patches current to commit them.

Random reboots are tough - the reasons for them are very numerous. They could be your SD card, or they could just be an app going haywire... I don't have them too frequently, so long as I let the phone settle when it boots - I notice a ton of issues crop up right away if you try to push the phone when it first starts...

SoD is hopefully fixed soon - there's a lot of testing going on between hyc's work and WisTilt2's work in the RIL arena. hyc has a public thread on this in this forum - I was playing with it, and it is very promising potential resolution to the SoD problem.

How can I tell what Rhod I have?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Please read the FAQ, its takes you thru how to find this out easily.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] SteelLife:
Ok sorry about that!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] SteelLife:
2. Extract it. You’ll see a folder, FRX06, copy its contents to the root of your SD card.

Ok don't copy the whole folder just put the contents in storage card or can I move the whole folder over?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Did you read the rest of it?

You can put it in whatever folder you want, assuming you have rel_path set correctly.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] SteelLife:
Yes I read through everything and I think I'm making it harder than it is, I moved the whole FRX06 over now what should I name the rel_path set to the exact name please? I just don't understand!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jonners59:
Not that I have got mine going... I did have the previous version working.

You can call the folder whatever you want and in fact you can have within another folder too. I.e you could create a folder and call it XDANDROID and within that Froyo6 and install everything in to there. Create a shortcut of Hariet in to the START folder in WM.

And of course ensure your Startup.txt has the line rel_path=Androids/TP2Ref in arrrghhh's case or rel_path=XDANDROID/Froyo6 in the above case, or whatever you decide.

Hope this helps. When you get it up and running it's great, and from my 3 minute working this seems better than the last with some cool fixes.

Good luck
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jonners59:
arrrghhh

The first pass I did just change the system.ext2. But that didn't work, so I assumed it was wrong. Then I started playing about and trying every combo under the sun. There must be something else wrong here, as I have now done as you suggested and reformatted the card. I have a nasty feeling not everything backed up properly, but I just want to crack on. Anyway, after the reformat I dropped the XDANDROID Start folder back on the card and created a new andboot folder and then installed all the bits as per Thread 1 in to that. I then changed the startup.txt to read the new location. Put conf, Aps and media in the androot folder too, but NOT reinstated the backup.

Reboot and it freezes still after working for about 3 minutes. No matter which screen or what I am doing from nothing to settings changes. It is not happy about something. PS. I note that 3G has not started on boot.

Any other ideas, please.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] SteelLife:
Go into the STARTUPS folder. Grab the appropriate startup.txt for your device, and move it to the root of the card (or where you run haret.exe from. If you want to change the location of the build, put a rel_path= statement in the cmdline section of the startup.txt. Mine is located two folders deep on the SD, so my rel_path=Androids/TP2Ref)

Ok, I tried to run the haret.exe and it got stuck with the blue line(install) going across screen never completing or moving on any chance on helping also do I put the haret in the startup folder w/ ts calibration?

1) I put in another sd card and it ran thru it has haret version at bottom how long do it stay on that screen or is it frozen?

2) sd card doesn't show up on hp tool, how do I change it from sync disk drive?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] maggu:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Helpful. force_cdma=? You grabbed the correct startup.txt for your phone?

Perhaps you should stick to WinMo.... I've made it pretty simple, and you seem to be getting stuck on some very basic elements that are required to run Android off of an SD...

Yea. Stick to WinMo.

I assume you've checked the APN? I have no clue what provider you have or what phone you have, perhaps I missed it...

Some have this exact issue and I recommend throwing the phone into Airplane Mode ASAP, then set your APN manually according to your carrier specs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wilkok:
Amazing work in general, this is a very stable build for me.

I wonder if others are having issues with the screen being insensitive to touch?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wilkok:
I had this issue and was able to resolve it by going into airplane mode. I'm still working on finding a way to change the APN settings while in airplane mode.

I have a little issue using this build (and maybe with other builds, I didn't tried that out).

If I use a lock pattern instead of the normal lock screen, my device never goes in sleep mode.

So with lock pattern on and screen turned off, the led-light is always red.

If use the normal lock screen, it just works fine

Is this a known bug or not?

Because sometimes it's painfully obvious that a user won't take the time to help themselves. Instead, they want someone to waste their own time to give them personal attention. Most of these issues can be resolved by doing some basic homework, googling, reading, etc. There are even youtube videos breaking this process into the most basic steps.

Some people want their hand held every single step of the way because they are too lazy to figure it out themselves :o
