Wow! It's a small world, and really sweet to see some of the old-school LJPrs on here! I tried my Froyo install... no issues :) Next up is fixing my wifi and getting a new keyboard off of the market.

Aside from using my phone as a Garmin, Android is now my primary install. Long live the queen!

edit:other keyboards do the same thing :( I'm not sure where the issue lies...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
Yep, got a TP2.....was only given it at the weekend, so I thought I'd play with it ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] mikew29:
Sounds like your sd card is too slow. There is a fix for this, it's referenced in earlier posts in the main xda android thread.

(Sorry can't find it now)

I had a problem with a class 10 card getting a lot of I/O errors, setting the max frequency to 50Hz helped a bit but the card eventually died. It was a Patriot and they are not very reliable. So the options do appear to work
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jellenl:
Sorry if it's a noob question, but is it normal that I don't have google apps with this build (like Youtube, GMail, Google Maps)? I'm used to FRX06 and with that build I had Google Apps from the beginning, if i'm right.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
This has gapps in it as well IIRC.

If it doesn't, you can always download them from the Market - but unless I'm just getting senile, I thought they were in there :p.

First time Android user

Read through the posts here and didn't find an answer to my problem.

I reformatted my SD card.

I have tried from the GBX0A folder with the Startup.txt with command line ref_path=GBX0A.

I have tried putting everything in the root of the SD card.

I have tried with a different system.ext2 files.

I am running WinMo6.5 on an AT&T Tilt 2 with a brand new install of EnergyROM 29017 with Cookies 1.85. I recently updated the radio to v. 4.49.25.95.

My problem is this:

Whenever I run the Haret executable, I get a bar that says Booting to Linux, which turns blue, then nothing else happens. I've tried it with this version of Android, as well as the Project Android Blazn cab file, and I get the same result each time, a Booting to Linux window with the bar that turns blue, then the phone freezes and I have to pull the battery. Am I doing something wrong?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] vinceweis:
It might just be your typo. Command line needs to be rel_path=GBX0A
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Taguiera:
Thanks, that wasn't a typo. In either case, however, when I put everything in the SD card root, with that line removed, I still get the same thing.

EDIT: All right, I feel a bit stupid. I fixed the rel_path line and ran Haret again. It's running the start up scripts. I'll let y'all know how it goes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Taguiera:
I got it to start loading the code, but I get various messages that I think are errors:

ext2fs_check_if_mount: no such file or directory while determining whether /sdcard/gbx0a/data.img is mounted

ext2fs_check_if_mount: no such file or directory while determining whether/dev/block/loop0 is mounted.

Failed to find system.img on sdcard

/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off.

Then it starts looping and doesn't stop after 30 minutes of letting it sit.

Edit: While looping, I get a message:

mdp irq already on 4 4

mdp_dma: busy

Question: I have system.ext2 on the SDcard with the other files. Should this be renamed to system.img?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Sounds like you put the build in a folder, but didn't adjust the rel_path on the startup.txt. Please see the first post - the directions are in thar.

Didn't pay close attention, I thought you already got it booting? No, for the record, system.ext2 is the correct filename.

Perhaps it's best to stick to WinMo if you can't follow the directions in the first post? Android on our phones isn't nearly feature-complete, and isn't the easiest to use ATM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Taguiera:
How about we start by not assuming I can't follow instructions. I have done everything the first post said. As I said, I did add the rel_path=GBX0A to the startup.txt file, which is how I got to the command line screen where I got the errors from. It gets past the Booting to Linux screen, then vibrates twice, then goes to a screen with a penguin at the top and a bunch of small, white command lines. This is only a small portion of what I see on that screen:

ext2fs_check_if_mount: no such file or directory while determining whether /sdcard/gbx0a/data.img is mounted

ext2fs_check_if_mount: no such file or directory while determining whether/dev/block/loop0 is mounted.

Failed to find system.img on sdcard

/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off.

mdp irq already on 4 4

mdp_dma: busy

Then it starts looping and doesn't stop after 30 minutes of letting it sit.

Now, if I hadn't done as instructed, I'm pretty sure I'd still be stuck at the Booting to Linux screen. I fixed that problem and now I've gotten another.

Edit: Also as instructed, I deleted the data.img file to force creation of a new one. I still get the same looping and errors as I mentioned above.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Well, I'm assuming you can't follow directions because of precedent.

Anyhoo, did you follow the step for ts-calibration? You make no mention of it, and the phone won't boot without that file, or a kernel that lets you create one.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Taguiera:
Tilt 2

Got it working, finally, however, after a few minutes of use, the phone locks up and I have to remove the battery to reboot. I'll have to figure that one out, but at least I know it works.

I must say, the instructions on the first post do not include anything about what system.img is or where to find one. I found one and had to rename it to system.img in order for everything to work, by searching XDA for it, but it would have been nice to know I needed it ahead of time, and how to get it. I've read through the first post a few times now, and I don't see mention of a system.img anywhere. The "complete bundle of Gingerbread" does not include a system.img file.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
You don't use a system.img file, it's a system.ext2 file - I'm not sure where you went wrong, but you did something wrong for sure. I've tried to help, I'm not sure what else to do for you at this point.

Did you not see my comment earlier?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Taguiera:
Tilt 2

I don't know, then. What I do know is, I found a Gingerbread.zip, renamed it to system.img, put it where my error said it was trying to look for it, and it worked. I am now running Android 2.3.3 on my Tilt 2. I tried repeatedly to do what the first post instructed, but it wasn't until I put the system.img into place that it worked.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Vbeaucher:
A few posts behind, maybe you saw that I tried many times to run XDAndroid on my TP2, most of them unsuccessful. It finally worked when I did the following:

- D/l the GBX0A bundle on my computer, unzipped it and put everything that was _inside_ the unzipped folder on my cell, on an empty SD card (1 gig);

- Looking behind the battery, I noticed my phone "number" (RHOD500 for me), then I took the right startup file in the startup folder on the SD card and put it on the same level as Haret (root level for me);

- Launched Haret and waited _at least_ 15-20 minutes until Android was ready.

I got the lock down issue, and the reason was the following:

- While Linux/XDAndroid was booting (after 10-15 minutes), I did not understand what were the little squares that appeared at the corners and center of my screen, so I just tapped my screen and the booting process went on;

- These squares were there to calibrate the touch screen. When the phone was ready, I wasn't able to do anything, especially unlocking the phone using the screen when the automatic lock came on;

- So I rebooted the phone (took out the battery), went on the SD card and _deleted_ the data.img file and launched Haret;

- When the littles squares started to appear, I tapped them one after the other (4 corners + 1 center).

Voila!

I hope it helps you or someone else.

Now, I have to find a way to make XDAndroid work of my 4 gig SD Card. I hope it's fast enough, so I have to find the best way to backup everything, reformat it, reinstall everything and cross my fingers that all works fine after that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Taguiera:
Tilt 2

I did look beneath the battery to confirm I was using the correct startup.txt file. I, too, didn't realize what the squares for calibration were, so I had to pull the battery and delete the data.img file. Reran it after and did the calibration properly and was able to get into the actual Android OS. But, none of that worked until I found the gingerbread.zip and renamed it to system.img. I can try running it again without having that file in place and see what it does, but I did manage to get Android 2.3.3 running last night, so at least I know what to do to make it work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
You're literally the only person who has "had" to do this to get it to work.

I'm really not sure where you went wrong, but you didn't seem apt to accepting any help. Hence the reason I said it might be better for you to stick with WinMo.

I haven't a clue what you're running at this point, but if it's working whatever. Enjoy!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Taguiera:
I posted here to try and get help. Your big advice was, "Stick with WinMo." Now, I don't know why it worked and I will be trying to run it without the file I added in place, but that's the only thing I did to get that got my phone to stop looping. I am hardly the most knowledgeable person about Android, but if I wanted to "stick with WinMo" I wouldn't be trying to get this work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Christiaan91:
Did you try FRX06?

If not try that one first. Since that one is stable and GB is alpha
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I didn't give you that advice until you rebuffed by advice several times. The first post is clear and concise, and it works for 99.99% of people who read it carefully. Either you're in the 0.001% who has a funky phone/SD card, or you just can't read directions.

Have a nice day, please quit posting in the thread unless you have a question.

THANK YOU

Just wanted to say a big thank you for this (donation coming later today)

finally up and running it did take me a bit due to my dyslexic ass renaming my rootfs.img to roofts.img yeah so that made for almost 30 minutes of haret trying to do something it just couldnt. and another 20 minutes of me trying to figure out what the hell i did wrong. figured it out and i'm good now.

again thanks

Sorry to bother you all with my noob question - first of all, it runs perfectly, nearly ;-)

I have no data connection on GSM, but phone and Wifi works without trouble and I have cdma force=1 and to 0 with no luck?

Is there a friendly soul that could help me?

Thanks in advance
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Obviously if you're GSM, force_cdma needs to =0.

Have you tried setting up your APN?

Hi... I've been booting for over a half hour now.... one consistent message I keep seeing is:

and it basically keeps generating more of those every couple of minutes or so. Any suggestions?

There's a few other lines if I need to get more specific. Either way it keeps repopulating every 120 seconds about.

The only thing I can think of is that you asked if I have a "clean" memory card. I do have other things saved on it, but I didn't think that would matter considering I had Froyo working on it a few months ago.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] coder12:
Is your install on the root of the card, or in a sub folder? If your files are in a folder called GBX0A or something, you'll need to add rel_path="GBX0A" to the part of your startup.txt that is in quotations. (read the FAQ in the first post for more information on that)

I thought the same thing as you had about formatting, actually. But I couldn't get Gingerbread or Froyo to work on my card for the life of me. I backed up my files, completely formatted my card (I did a thorough Fat 32 format, and wrote 0s to the whole card). Then I tried my install to the card's root, and after confirming it worked, I moved my files into my gingerbread folder. I modified my startup file to direct into my subfolder, confirmed it worked, and then copied the rest of my files over.

If you are running them on a Touch Pro 2, you are in the correct place to be using Android; yes, it works. ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Read what coder12 said, also, did you place the ts-calibration file where haret.exe is run from? If you want to create your own, follow the steps in the first post.

My phone doesn't wake up if i get an incoming call.....is there a fix for?:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Does this happen in Froyo? Gingerbread is still experimental.

You also have made no mention of what device you're using.

Good to note, I have random issues with the phone waking when calls come in - it usually does wake, but sometimes it's painful and takes quite a while (5 secs) for the phone to actually wake. This is an outstanding issue, if it's a big issue for you stick to WinMo. I'm not aware of a 'fix' that completely fixes the issue.

i have a problem downloading the full package

if i click the first link in the first post and download it its done in 1 sec

and it says its 42kb big and when i open it with winrar it says its broken or damage is it the link or my pc or..

never mind,

it was something with my laptop i think on my other pc it does work

may thanks anyhow

I'm using a Rhod100....yes i think it is the awake delay that's the problem, however sometimes it does take lang to wake up from standby normaly, and i can unlock my phone before it wakes up.

Freezing and battery issue

I have a HTC TP2

MicroSD card was formatted

I downloaded and installed the Mar 11 GBX0A version and installed the Mar 25 system ext2 file and calibration file with startup file for Rhod400

set ramsize 0x10000000

set ramaddr 0x10000000

set mtype 2292

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmvkeyb_toggle=off gsensor_axis=2,1,3 force_cdma=1 pm.sleep_mode=1 physkeyboard=rhod400"

boot

I've ran Haret and Droid loads

I rebooted and re-ran Haret and it comes back up fairly quickly

I've left everything currently as the default in Settings and within the startup file

3G is on

2 problems

1) Battery meter goes down from fully charged to empty in less than an hour. I know the notification isn't accurate but when it gets down to less than 15%, I get the dialog box 'Please connect charger, the battery is getting low:14% or less is remaining. If it gets to 0, the phone stays in standby mode. If I reboot to Windows mobile, the battery is still around 80%. Is there a way to avoid this ?

2) Within 10-15 min, the phone stays in Standby and never recovers. I have to reboot. Is there a way to avoid this ?

thanks

Question

im using the froyo build and its pretty stable, however i would like to give this a chance

how would you guys compare it to this?

is it stable enough to be used, or atleast close to the froyo or should i wait?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
It's fun to play with, but I wouldn't say it's stable enough to replace Froyo anytime soon.

You can run multiple builds, assuming your SD card has the space ;).

thanks for letting me know, but i think ill wait since i depend upon my tilt 2 way too much to risk losing text messages or phone call right now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
It's been my main OS for several weeks now. With Wistilt2's kernel and Highlandsun's RIL it has been at least as stable for me as Froyo ever was.

The only time I drop back to Froyo is when I need GPS.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] manekineko:
No real stability differences from Froyo in my opinion, and I've been using it for a while.

Only significant differences are that data connection gets lost if you make calls or enter no signal areas, and you have to cycle the data to get it working again, and no location services (GPS, wireless location, wifi location) of any sort.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
This might be a CDMA thing? On GSM with the test RIL I never have this issue... touch wood!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] vnes1984:
Yeah I find this GB build quite stable despite the data issue you mentioned. I do believe the data isue is particular to CDMA. On this build, I usually can go 2-3 days staight without a SoD or reboot. No major issues other than the data loss. I'm hoping for a fix soon but I can live with it for now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] manekineko:
Right, I'd forgotten about that, you're right, I've heard the data problem is CDMA only.

On the plus side, the Gingerbread build is significantly faster than the Froyo build. More people should really be using this build.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] highlandsun:
Since I use Maps and My Tracks quite a lot I'm sticking with Froyo for now.

On a slightly related note - Maps on Froyo doesn't give me an arrow on my location, is the digital compass not working?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] manekineko:
Rhodium have no digital compass. Sucks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Entropy512:
There is no digital compass - you'll get an arrow when moving though, since then there will be good enough velocity data to determine the direction you're headed.

Sucks for geocaching though... That's what I use my Garmin Oregon for. :P

i am new user

Hello My friend.....your work is brilliant. you win heart of those people who are using HTC TOUCH PRO2.

i used your ROM after so many difficulties because i am new in this field.

now i want to know one thing ........ please do not mind.

i pasted all files in SD card and this ROM is working very fine after click on HARET.EXE.

But....when i reboot my handset again windows mobile 6.5 comes back.

i have HTC HD2 as well i install ROM over there but after rebooting ANDROID was there.

Kindly tell me the way how can i flash Windows mobile. i want to keep only Android.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
You can't. The HD2 is worlds ahead of us in development terms... so please don't compare the two, it's not exactly a fair comparison.

This all runs off of the SD card, no flashing yet. There's a NAND thread, but it's very unstable and only really works for CDMA devices presently.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Christiaan91:
First off all this is not a ROM, it's a port.

For the HTC TP2 it's possible to run android from a sd card(port), not from internal memory(rom).

The HD2 has already a rom, so that's probably what you have on your HD2.

So when you reboot your phone it's normal to come back to WinMo, but you can give Gen Y. boot a try. With Gen Y. you can boot into Android before you're typing your pin in winmo.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] slapshot30:
Hmm, I never tried Gen.Y because I thought my PIN in winmo would interfere with it and show up before the application ran, but you're saying it doesn't so I might have to try that out...

EDIT: Alright I tried this out with the latest wistilt2 kernal, latest highlandsun RIL, and latest F22 rootfs that supports the highlandsun RIL. The only problem is, data is a no go. I noticed some of you talking about data issues earlier but I thought those were CDMA only. Maybe I am in the wrong thread for this but just thought I'd start in the main gingerbread one.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Christiaan91:
Last off-topic:

Sometimes it would come up before the pin and sometimes after, but i put autoboot on, so if my pin came up i just waited 5 or 10s until android booted.

But i deleted it again, because android is running fine for me a couple of days now. So when i need to reboot, i need to go into winmo to update the gps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] didozer:
I installed the Complete GingerBread Bundle earlier today and so far it great. I love it but for some reason my indicator light (batt/charging) it orange when screen on and green when screen off also my hard keys on front are always lit. Any reason this is happening or something easy to fix or shoud i just clear mem and reinstall? Thanks so much for your effort to get full android on these TP2s.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] slapshot30:
The LED is supposed to do that, orange light means the phone is running processes. Green means it is asleep (which is a good thing). Make sure in winmo when you boot android, all the hardkeys are off. If they are on in winmo, they will stay on in android.

Quick question though, I see you are on AT&T, I am also. Does your data/wifi work? The reason I ask is because mine will not work in gingerbread and I wonder if it is a GSM thing. I thought only CDMA had most data issues...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] didozer:
Ill have to test it tomorrow. My router is acting funny so I have my laptop hardlined. I dont really use it much but i will test it for you to see if its a GSM thing. Ill have to reboot and turn the hardkeys off and see if that helps. hanks for such a quick response. I didnt know that with the led thats pretty cool Just didnt want all the hardware lights to drain my batt quickly.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] didozer:
I just plugged my router back up so ill test it now for you. Gimme a couple mins to check it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] didozer:
How do I turn off the hardkeys? lol I have never had to before.
