Refresher Course

Hey I only cruise through and play when I'm bored primairly just keeping myself up to date.

But for some who have'nt been following this it is a overwhelming thing to just jump into and read through all of this (lol).

But hey not so long ago wmg316 POST 952 did a sweet refresher on this Droid and even the newest of us can quickly get a grip on this thing that IS INCREDIBLE when you get it up and going (all things considered theres a lot of love there somehow and this DROID).

His post explains away A LOT OF procedure that is consistent and must be known to keep the DROID running. Take a look at it, has helped me I know!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Entropy512:
Um, this thread is for running Android on Windows-Mobile-native phones, not native Android phones from Verizon (the DROID series).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] fastscirocco:
Searched and can't find this so I'm posting a quick question.

My wife and I each have HTC Touch Pro 2 Spring phones, stock windows rom.

Have enjoyed FRX06 for some time now, have haret in the start up in windows to quicken the boot into Android. Suddenly her phone has twice had it's sound

and microphone stop working.

Only fix seems to be:

1. shut down

2. remove the SD card

3. boot into windows

4. confirm sound and mic work

5. shut down

6. reinsert the SD card

7. boot succesfully into Android where the sounds and mic will work again.

If she tried to simply shut down and reboot into windows and then Android it

didn't fix the problem.

If there's a thread I should be reading I'll gladly do so if someone could point me to it, tried searching and couldn't find this same issue.

Thanks

Fastscirocco
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Entropy512:
That one is completely weird, and a real head-scratcher. Can't see how removing/reinserting the SD would work.

Can you try this?

When problem occurs:

Shut down

Boot WinMo

Test mic and such

Shut down WinMo

Restart WinMo

Boot Android

i.e. basically what you did to fix the issue minus the SD removals/reinsertions. Note that the difference between what I describe above and what you said didn't work is a full boot into WinMo and shutdown without entering Android.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] fastscirocco:
Because I have a shortcut for Haret in WinMo's startup it automaticly starts Android. I will need to remove the shortcut in WinMo before it happens again in order to boot into windows.

She knows enough to remove the SD card, not enough to remove the shortcut.

I will have to remove the shortcut next time I get my hands on her phone, it isn't something I'm comfortable instructing over the phonee.

Thanks for the input

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] DennisSclan8:
Of course you're correct, and I apologize to the Devs as well anyone I misled into believing Verizons OS is applied here. I void my mistaken slang "Droid", and correct it (as deserves to be correctly known) with XDAndroid.:o
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sjabbie88:
Seems I can`t do a search, because the site gives me an error.

So let's hope this question hasn't already been answered.

Seems everything is starting to work and going smooth. Camera, Wifi, KB-Lights and even BT now..Thanks a lot for that Devs =D

And here is the point I`m getting curious about the fact that, what about the USB-connectivity,SD-card as storage drive and especially Internet over USB?

I`m curious about whether there is a reason no further development has been done on making the use of all the usb-functions..

Started to ask myself this when I needed to reboot to windows every time I wanted to share my Mobile internet for my Laptop in the middle of nowhere.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Entropy512:
Actually, there are kernels that fix this. I think it's in the later autobuilds, same for WisTilt2's 5/14 kernel, and probably highlandsun's audio routing kernels.

Here's what is working to my knowledge in newer kernels:

USB tethering for Internet sharing - works completely

USB storage - It will never work with loopback builds (data.img + system.ext2), it's a fundamental limitation of the fact that it requires unmounting the SD FAT partition to share it over USB. If there are files on that partition mounted as loopback, it can't be unmounted. If you move to a partitioned build (system in partition 3 of your SD, and data on partition 4), then partition 1 (FAT, aka /sdcard) can be cleanly unmounted - it has always been this way. Newer kernels in theory fix the problem of Android being unable to remount after being done, but the last time I tried this my FAT partition was completely corrupted. May have just been some Ubuntu flakiness on my desktop though... 11.04 does some weird stuff when unmounting removable media.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] QuentinX5:
Doesn't ever reach flying text. It gets to the "HaRET: Booting Linux..."

Fully loads that while still in Windows Mobile, and then freezes.

So if you loaded it from the XDAndroid App on Windows Mobile, you would see the all the options for choosing the keyboard and everything. I'm trying to think how to explain it without a picture... :X

I might have an outdated one then, because I copied and pasted it from there. Unless...

I think I know the culprit of the startup.txt problem. It might be the fact I haven't set a manual startup.txt on the XDAndroid app... XD
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Ah, that startup utility. I don't distribute that, and I don't really support it either... Thanks! ;).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] QuentinX5:
Even editing that still does not fix the issue of it not booting, because I can attempt to open HaRET through File Explorer, and it will still come up with the same problem I am experiencing.

EDIT - Maybe a picture would help:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Quincux:
disable overclock :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] QuentinX5:
Did as you said. Overclock wasn't enabled, so I changed my pm.sleep_mode=1 to 0. Didn't change anything.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Should be 1.

What kernel are you on? Can you please try without the startup utility, and verify what is in your startup.txt is still valid...?

Are you OC'd in WinMo?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] QuentinX5:
It was set on 1. I'll set it back.

Launching it outside of the startup utility still causes the same problem. Here's my startup.txt edited to as you have stated it needs to be.

set ramsize 0x10000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 2292
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "lcd.density=240msmvkeyb_toggle=off pm.sleep_mode=1 gsensor_axis=2,1,3 rel_path=andboot physkeyboard=tilt2"
boot

And no, I am not overclocked in Windows Mobile. Haven't even bothered to look into it since I was so obsessed when I found Android :X
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] scooper:
Did you try with force_cdma=0 in the set cmdline?

And i see you need a space between lcd.density=240 and msmvkeyb_toggle=off.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Quincux:
Overclock on WinMo
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] QuentinX5:
Done as you have said. Still has changed nothing.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] scooper:
This was what I had in my startup.text when I tried FRX05 and it worked fine.

Maybe it's something else besides your startup.txt? My Haret doesn't look anything like the one in your screenshot. Are you using the one in this package?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] QuentinX5:
Yes, I am just using a Startup Utility to boot it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] gallahad2000:
Yeah, don't do that. You can create a link to haret.exe by syncing your phone with windows and making a shortcut and dropping it back on the phone (or by copying and editing one of your other shortcuts to point to haret instead in notepad). There's no reason to use the startup utility since it's faster to boot from a link.

Attached is my .lnk, move this to windows/start menu/programs and you'll be able to use it as a shortcut to boot android.

"Ringer" not working...

I saw in a built quite a few months back already, that the "ringtone" is working, however in my Settings | Sound | Phone Ringtone, I only get "Silent" as an option, as is with the "Notification Ringtone".

I have downloaded the rom dated 03.03.2011 and followed your instructions exactly on this post. I have a RHOD100.

Has this been corrected, and if so, can you advise how I can fix this?

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I do not support nor distribute the startup utility.

However, you did say that hitting haret directly caused the same issue...

Can you just start with a clean build? Download the bundle from the first post, and don't touch anything other than adding a ts-calib and moving the startup.txt - like you've never run Android before. If you have space on your SD, put it in another folder and adjust the rel_path= statement.

I'm really baffled at this point, and the only thing that has been known to cause this issue is missing/bad kernel, or missing/bad startup.txt - I don't know of anything else that would cause this issue, honestly.

Sounds silly, but backup everything on the card, format the card using the HP Tool (full format, FAT32). Then put everything back on the card and try again - should work fine. Not sure what is actually being 'fixed' by this process, but hopefully we won't have to worry about it when we can build stuff in NAND rather than on the SD ;).

Also to QuentinX5 - might want to try formatting the card using this method as well ^^.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] MerlinOfLore:
Downloaded this build last week and have been LOVING it. You guys are awesome! I do have 1 problem I was hoping someone could answer that I do not believe is directly associated with the build. I'm suddenly getting a "Phone storage space is getting low" message. Using App2SD, I've moved any available apps to my sdcard. Using DroidExplorer I see 51mb in /data/app on my phone. Is this the storage area for Market? If so, is there any way to safely move it to my sdcard and still have it be recognized by market? Any other tips/tricks for clearing space on the phone or moving data from the phone to the sdcard?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Heh, I guess we should address this in the FAQ, but I thought at least part of it would be obvious.

The entire build is running off of the SD - so we can't really move apps to the SD...

That part I assumed would've been obvious :p. When we go full NAND, App2SD will become more important.

The part that isn't so obvious, is the data.img. You've obviously installed a lot of apps - for most, 256mb sized data.img is enough. If you need more, there is a handy app here. It will help you expand the data.img to larger than 256mb - the reason for this size is so those with 512mb SD cards can still enjoy these builds. If you have a bigger card, feel free to use a bigger data.img!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] anotherhawkeye:
The build is quite stable. Only issue is with the battery life. Battery lasts only 5 to 6 hours at most. With FRX 03 and then 04, I had at least 10 hours of battery life. Has anything changed that warrants poorer battery life? Is it time delete data.img and start over/format the SD card?

Rhod 400, Sprint.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] rpierce99:
On the Rhod400, when properly sleeping, you should be getting a day or more. Some people have reported 1% every 2 hours or 4 days worth of battery, when not in use. You don't specify whether this is in sleep or while awake, what type of use, etc.

Some things that will make your battery life shorter

1) Make sure you get a solid green light when the phone is sleeping, if you don't, it's not sleeping (usually gps is enabled when you see this)

2) Poor signal areas will lead to the phone using more power to stay connected, so if you know you're going to be in a low signal area, consider going into airplane mode

3) heavy processing (open a console and run "top" some time and see if there's anything using a lot of processor)

4) gps, wifi, etc
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] QuentinX5:
Done as you have stated, went back and formatted the card, and reattempted. Got past the lag on it and into the boot sequence for Linux. Such a strange issue, I'm totally wondering what happened to it... Maybe HaRET got corrupted or something? My phone just seems to like to corrupt things XD

Anyways, thanks for the help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Demonic240:
You can use droidexplorer to manage the sd card via usb without having to mount the drive. I do this all the time.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] diegolvobanania:
Hi guys,

Search is unavailable at the moment, so let's post and see what happens.

Here's my feedback after a coupld of days of stable use wit wiltilt's 1321 kernel.

Very very very stable, no restart over the last 180 hrs turned on.

Bugs / issues i met :

- somtimes when waking up, asks for pin code. Meaning it's been idle all this time

- when ear set is plugged in ringtone doesn't ring.

- when incoming calls, press side button then pick up -> no sound, i don't know if people at the other side can hear or not.

- low sound level on external speaker

Apart from he above, excellent ... fast and stable enough for daily use for phone, mail, sms and web
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lotusfrontera:
Well hopefully heres my Logcat??? Hopefully some one can help me out......Please.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Might want to provide some context...

Is this for your no-data issue!?!?

Edit - no clue what anyone is supposed to get out of that logcat. It's very short.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] rpierce99:
and if you want to provide meaningful logs (once you manage the context), try this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1123129
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Demonic240:
So I performed a normal format of the sd card and reinstalled the latestet xdandroid from the OP. Updated to the most recent kernel (6/15) and reinstalled apps from TiBu. Going to have my fiance test out the phone today and see how things are working. Will let you know how the wifi holds up.

On a somewhat related note. I've downloaded the python.wm.cab file in hopes of getting haret to autolaunch successfully on a boot. Does anyone know how to make the script work?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
What's wrong with Gen.Y? That's what I use.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lotusfrontera:
Context???

Yep its for my nodata/ internet issue.

As for very short???

Still learning at this don`t forget.

Will try again
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yes, context - as in, what are these logs you're providing for. You just dropped a logcat in the thread without ANY explanation as to why or what the issue was. I went back like 5 pages and made some assumptions.

Follow rpierce99's suggestion.

I don't see why you're providing a logcat for a no data issue. The radio logcat will probably be the most valuable, but all three logs aren't a bad idea. Again, read that post rpierce99 gave you. Makes grabbing all the necessary stuff a breeze.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Demonic240:
What's gen.y?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lotusfrontera:
Tried to download this on my phone while in Android, but it wouldn`t download it says the content is not supported on my phone.

Does it need to be downloaded in windows?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Basically an app that when the phone is initially booted gives you a choice of WinMo or Android. Kind of a dual-boot app, but WinMo is still partially loading. If you choose Android, you'll not even see the WinMo interface - it'll kick off haret for you.

[APP][25MAR10]Gen.Y DualBOOT v1.0.6.0[W|Q|VGA][CAB|EXT] <--- thread for reference.

It's an apk, download & install in Android.

Edit - if you can't download it directly to the phone, download it on your PC and transfer it to the phone. Easiest way to install apps is thru the AndroidApps folder (which is covered in the FAQ)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lotusfrontera:
Another logcat!!!!! hope this helps, or am I doing something wrong,, again!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Evidently you can't read.

Either use that logging app, or get the logs I asked for. This is useless.

How do you know the settings are correct for your carrier? I'd verify with someone else who has the same carrier. I think you might've already done that, but who knows. You're not very verbose in any of your posts.... which is frustrating, and doesn't help your cause.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lotusfrontera:
Sorry about all my answers, but I`m a noob at this, and every time I read a post and try and do something I seem to hit a stumbling block. At the moment I`m trying to get that "GETLOGS.APK" onto my phone (without success).

How do I get Radio Logcat?

I`ve now got PDAnet installed, but can`t transfer APK from computer to phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Well since you can get a regular logcat, I'm assuming you'll be able to get a radio logcat. The process is pretty similar, just need to add some switches (the -v time works on regular logcat as well, highly recommend it as it timestamps every entry).

logcat -b radio -v time

Ultimately getting that apk to work would be best. Why can't you just download the apk and place it in your AndroidApps folder?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lotusfrontera:
OK hopefully this is the radio logcat, I`m still working on the APK!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Looks like it's using the wrong APN. Have you configured the APN for your provider?

My eyes aren't exactly trained, but I see some odd failures right at the top, related to data. It seems the APN you have configured either isn't correct or... well I'm not sure what the other option is :p.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Demonic240:
Brand new install and the most recent kernel.. wifi is still losing the connection when the phone is going to sleep :(

Is there a specific type of logcat or logs needed to see what's going on?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] rpierce99:
So I talked to the guys about it. There are 2 things to factor in here. The first is the android setting to turn off wifi when sleeping, I'm assuming you've already set that up. With that out of the way, highlandsun says there's a bug present in android (happens on his G1 as well) that after about 15 minutes of sleep, even with that setting set, wifi will still fail. If you are seeing behavior that is different than I just described, we will need a full set of logs (easiest way: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1123129) so that we can see both what is happening in android, and what is happening in the kernel.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] highlandsun:
Ah, not quite - I have never enabled that setting on my phones. wifi off after 15 minutes of sleep is the normal behavior, when you haven't set it to stay on.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] nickleby:
"Weird" behavior with the camera

Hi arrrghhh, I'm not too sure if this is FRX06 related or if it is kernel related, I think it's related mostly to drivers, but I noticed that even in environments with high or decent light, pictures are extremely dark. I even tried other applications like Camera360, FxCamera, etc. and same thing happens, very dark pictures. I don't know if someone had already mentioned this, I had not used the camera much on Android until now :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Demonic240:
I'm going to send you the data.txt file that running that report generated. I've got the wifi set to never turn off when asleep. But it stops working the second the phone goes into sleep mode.

Seems like there was some progress in the nand thread on ppcgeeks, as in not implemented but partially figured out. Hopefully the code will migrate from nand to haret once it gets polished off. So I'd say there's hope, I just wouldn't count on it showing up too soon.

Hi,

i searched the forum, but didn't found the answer. I have a TP2 RHOD100 with T-Mobile HU. When i want to use the 3G internet than the phone couldn't connect, but if i check use only 2G option than the internet is working. Have somebody an idea?

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Dunno, it always works well for me. Not like the camera is that good on this device, I'd say you should be happy that it works at all.

You can try to post a comment in the cam testing thread - I think viruscrazy still checks that thread for updates, I haven't seen anything new from the RHOD100 front tho.

Could be tomorrow, could be next year. Quit asking, I don't know when. You'll know when I post a new thread with 'FRX07' in the title.

Dunno, that's what it looks like from the logs. I know there's other users on that network, I think they even responded to you? Perhaps PM one of them and maybe they'll be nice enough to walk you thru the setup. Otherwise.... I guess stick to WinMo?

Edit - hyc mentioned it might be a mismatch with ril1/ril2, but you said this issue with no data is present on a completely clean install of FRX06, no mods??

As was previously stated, ACL is close to getting it working under NAND, not sure how well (or easily) it'll get moved to HaRET. ACL is pretty good about getting anything that works on NAND back to HaRET tho.

Uh... I assume 3G works in WinMo? I would think if your APN was wrong it wouldn't connect at all. Might need to see some logs, see the FAQ.

I want to thank you for a wonderful project that you and the other XDAndroid devs created here. I fell in love with the android platform because of the hard work and great advancements done by the team.

That is why I feel sad that my tp2 died in the most annoying way. I lost all sound hardware wise. This even affected the winmo side of things. So instead of getting another tp2, I got the htc merge. Because of you wonderful work, I am proficient in the OS and am enjoying my new phone.

once again, thank you and thank you developers of the ever so influential XDAndroid OS.
