Question

No offense to the XDAndroid team, but I was wondering if it's possible to change the startup animation? When I originally got FRX05, it had a cool animated Android startup animation, but now it's the XDAndroid logo. Like I said, it's no offense to them, but I know on actual Android phones it's possible to change it, so I was curious if it is possible to change it on here?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yup, there's a file bootanimation.zip. It seems to just be a gaggle of png's, feel free to swap it out. That'll just be the bootani from all XDAndroid builds.

IIRC it's just the in the system folder (basically in the system.ext2 file)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] RedRamage:
And approx idea on BT functionality? I'm anxious to give this a try but I use BT quite a bit and would feel lost without it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] rsx19:
how do i press home and search????

call = call

windows = menu

back = back

end = power
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
When it's ready. Test it out, no body is forcing you to use it full time.

You'll have to remap the buttons if you want home/search. Home can easily be remapped using Spare Parts (apk in AndroidApps).

To properly remap your buttons, see F22's rootfs thread.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] dkduck:
Something weird happens, it boots as it should, I get in as I should, going into settings and after a minut or two it just freezes and I have to take the battery out and start over again, just to se it happens again.

My phones is Topax and my startup text is:

I have tried to change sleep mode to 1, 2 and 3 with no luck, also tried to have CDMA both on and off.

Is there a kind soul out there who might can help me....

Thanks in advance
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Try a new RIL+rootfs. Everyone with this issue has resolved it using these.

There's a new build in the works, hoping to have it out soon. Thanks.

Also, just so you know - this isn't the Topaz section of the forums, this section is for the TouchPro2/Rhodium ;).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] dkduck:
I´ll try, thanks

Already looking forward :D

I know, just think you are better overhere ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] dkduck:
That was the trick, working like a charm...thanks :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Avatar28:
Hmm. I guess I will try to pick up another SD card next payday then. The bit about the older cards working better for running an OS sounds sort of like WP7. The new, higher-class SD cards don't run well and cause problems for it.Only thing is that it isn't so much that it's slow most of the time as it is that my phone is remarkably unstable. That's true for both Android and WM.

One thing I forgot to mention. When I was formatting the card after it got to around 90% or so it seemed to lock up. I finally killed off the process for the HP utility and did it again but with a quick format instead. Still, that probably supports the idea of a bad card too. Maybe it will help my WinMo stability too.

You
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] salzion:
Cool, thanks for the info arrrghhh
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] fishingmedic:
IIRC Nate had said previously that the higher class cards don't work as well for us as the lower class cards, which is better for us as their cheaper :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] OldSkool-II:
So, i got 3 questions, cuz my TP2 isn't very reliable right now, and i need it to be stable for my new work.

The phone is freezing up quit frequently, it doesn't get out of sleep mode, and the only thing i can do is a soft reset. Is there a fix for this?

Sumtimes while i'm calling, the phone goes to speaker, shows the XDAndroid boot animation, and can only get out of it with a soft reset.

And the last question is more of a request. Is there a possibility to make sum sort of boot screen, so you can choose between WM and Android when you start the phone?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Right off the bat, I'm going to strongly advise you - do not use Android if you need your phone for work...

Try the new rootfs+RIL. This work is being integrated to XDAndroid and will be complete soon.

Hence the reason I don't recommend using this on a work phone...

This is a WinMo issue, and yes - it's called Gen.Y Dual Boot for WinMo. Again, this is a WinMo issue, please do not discuss issues with WinMo or the app in this thread/section of the forums - IE if you have issues with Gen.Y, post in that thread!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] argenisaz:
I'd like to share an experience I had today.

My service provider crashed today (no service at all) and so did android :(

And it wouldn't boot again until cell service was restored.

I could get back into WinMo (without service) but android: no dice.

I'd like to clarify that I'm not complaining in any way, just sharing my experience ;)

Keep up the good work!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] beaviz:
Nice work!

Runs at first try/boot.

Confirmed camera freez, can live with that..

Only bt support would make it very useful.

And my tp2 gets warm, even when in sleep mode.

Someting is draining the battery..

Still very nice release, best out there imo.

Have one on me!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Christiaan91:
CameraFX is a fix for some people (download in the market)

fxcamera is the name.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Is the phone going to deep sleep? (Solid green LED).

New rootfs + RIL resolves no service issues. There is an issue with the stock RIL where it likes to die in poor service areas. This has been resolved with the new RIL, and if you're willing to wait we'll have a new version out soon with it all incorporated.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] argenisaz:
Yep, I'll wait :D

The last few days have been great, I've been using android as my only mobile OS and I'm thrilled!

Thanks a lot for your help and hard work, and thanks to everyone involved in this project.

Keep it up! :cool:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] manny05:
i have that ril and it works well with the service. most of the time i always have service. however if i was to go into the dining center at my college (where there is no signal whatsoever) when i leave i still have no service...which makes no sense since the phone is suppose to pick up the service again...

i tried using an app from the android market called "restart connections" and its a hit or miss..sometimes it restart the connections but most of the time i have to end up rebooting....

any fix to this? tips? or should i just wait until a new patch comes out
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
The RIL is used for testing. If you think there's an issue with the RIL, perhaps you should read the thread and get some logs to the maintainer... Only way to fix a bug.

I however have gone in and out of service no issues with the new RIL. Make sure you're on the newest one, in post #6.

Quick question, does auto-backlight work? I should I set it manually?

Thanks!

(Did my searching, read the FAQ's, and didn't find an answer :( )
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Works great on RHOD's, I think there was an issue on DIAM/RAPH, but it's fixed in the newest kernel (not yet included in the bundle).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] AkumaX:
Are there any backlight tweaks out there? The "darkest" setting isn't nearly as dark as it is in WinMo
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I think there's a battery app that allows you to set more advanced backlight settings - search on the Market for it, sorry I don't have one for you off hand.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] AkumaX:
Thanks, didn't think market apps would work to tweak backlight settings thorougly :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Avatar28:
Do I still have to find an old version of Android to make a calibration file? My touchscreen seems a bit wonky in Android. Works fine in WinMo even after a flash and no calibrating but it feels off in Android, especially when trying to type using the soft keyboard. Even Swype has problems.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Didn't you get a TouchPro2 so you would never ever have to use horrible soft keyboards? I know I did :p.

You can try on newer kernels, but you'll probably have to revert to an older one. Up to you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
Or use WisTilt2's testing kernel - when I rebuilt a few days ago I forgot to copy my calibration file, and it gave me the correct prompt with the white boxes to create a new one.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
True, I just don't want to point someone to a test kernel just to get the screen calibrated :p.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] manekineko:
Of all the fixes in the WisTilt2 test kernels, maybe that one should be fast-tracked to be included into mainline given its uncontroversial nature and how much more user-friendly it makes everything.

I think it's just as simple as getting rid of all the garbage that the autobuild kernels spew on bootup that overwrites the images of the calibration boxes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
That's exactly why his kernels work for calib - a lot less junk is thrown on boot. I don't know if WisTilt2 has submitted that as a patch however...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] highlandsun:
Or we could do away with manual calibration completely. Try this script on your phone and see if it generates reasonable-looking calibration numbers:

#!/bin/sh
modprobe mtdchar
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd0ro bs=2048 skip=18818 count=1 | od -I | \
awk '/^0001720/ {p3=$4 "," $5} \
/^0001740/ {p1=$2 "," $3; p4=$4 "," $5} \
/^0001760/ {p5=$2 "," $3; p2=$4 "," $5} \
END {print p1 "," p2 "," p3 "," p4 "," p5}'
rmmod mtdchar
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Avatar28:
Actually yeah, I sort of did. But sometimes I find that it's easier to use it in portrait mode than trying to slide out the keyboard and do it one handed.

I think I am running WisTilt2s test kernel, I followed ryannathan's instructions on setting it up. I will try it once I get my SD issues sorted out.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Meh, I was just teasing you.

If you're on that test kernel, you should be able to recalib no prob. Just delete the 'ts-calibration' file and boot, should ask you to calib on boot.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Avatar28:
Yeah, I know. But you were right anyways. I will give it a shot. Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] SteelLife:

Just type the address, simple as could be. It will recognize the http:// part and automatically format it as a link.

Is this on the phone in a text message also for instance:

123 S. OchoCinco NFL, Ohio 12345

and I want to send to some else
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] DyeySy:
i also have a question.

i Just got my Rhod100 run froyo and it's amazing!

however,

1. how can i turn off the solid orange light and solid green light off?

2. I run the froyo from SD, does this mean i need to run the exe file everytime i restart? :)

Thanks a lot. :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
1. You don't - that indicates sleep state. Read the FAQ.

2. Yes, of course.

So you want to put a link that isn't a link in the message? That makes no sense whatsoever.

If you want to put a link to say Google Maps with that address, you'll have to sort that out on your PC - at least that would be the easiest way I would think - get the link, use TinyURL or something and send that to them over the phone... You can't just 'make' a URL out of anything in a text message, I assume that's what you're trying to do.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] christty31:
i followed the instructions in the first post but after boot it shows only "XDANDROID" screen with the animation but nothign else.... why? :(

yeah, it work :)

but it cannot see the SD card, for exmple when i want to user camera, or when i'm looking into settings-sdcard & phone storage settings....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Format your card using the HP Tool. Full format, FAT32. Do not use any built-in WinMo or Windows utilities... Link to the tool is in the first post, please read the first post and the FAQ. There's also several links to the FAQ in this first post....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] christty31:
ok, thanks for advise

but i cannot connect to internet, also i have data plan on my phone.... :(

thank you!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Does your carrier require a proxy to connect to the internet? Do you have 3g icons? You really need to provide more info.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] xi.lin:
You can try with hyc's new ril, i get apns after using that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Entropy512:
1) You can't. Right now the power management code controls the LEDs. Once PM stabilizes (we're really close now...) this will get changed in the kernel.

2) Yes, although I believe that Gen Y Dualboot will auto-run haret for you. (Not sure, I don't bother with this, I just have a link to haret in my Start menu).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] SteelLife:
Yes that's what I wanted to do because it always put the numbers in hyperlink but not the street name, city, state, and zip.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Numbers make sense - it's a phone, you click the number, it dials.

I guess it would be cool if it was smart enough to recognize an address and launch GM - but what if you don't want to use Google Maps? It's a little easier to determine what app to launch with a phone number (duh... the phone...) vs an address... So no, addresses will not get highlighted automatically.

It's like pulling teeth trying to help you.

Hi, is there any way to manually add facebook sync support with my contacts ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
You tell us. This is more of an Android issue, rather than an issue specific to our build (I would think).

Isn't there some atrocious app on the Market for FB? I don't use FB...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Avatar28:
Umm. Just a thought but copy and paste works on our phone, right? I'm pretty sure that if you copy and paste the entire address into Google Maps then it will be smart enough to figure it out for you. Worst case copy and paste the main address line, follow it with a comma and then manually type in the city/state and/or zip code (zip code is really all you need for Google to locate it for you).

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I wouldn't say MMS is 'easy' for any CDMA device.

You need the new RIL and you need to setup your MMS properly, which requires frameworks changes. You can try pulling all the stuff together yourself, but there's a new build coming out soon that will allow you to set it up out of the box - which will make it much easier.

CDMA doesn't use APN's, but for MMS we need to set an APN with the correct values - and sending will work. Receiving, still doesn't - you get a download link that does nothing. We're working to resolve that, but it seems no body has yet (Vogue guys haven't from what I can tell).

So at least you'll get a message letting you know to check the website :p.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] gmanfuzing:
do you know an eta for the new build. I've noticed you talking about it more and more and now im getting anxious !

also do you know how to incorperate live wallpapers back into android. we had them for a while, but they've seemed to disappear. I only ask because my favorite clock app WP Clock is a live wallpaper and not a widget, so i cant use it without live wallpaper support.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Don't ask for ETA's. I don't know, and if I just made one up that wouldn't really be fair.

Live Wallpapers were pulled - they were atrocious, and a ton of people complained about how horrible they are. Less people complain about them missing, and as I always tell those people - you're more than welcome to add it back in yourself ;).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] gmanfuzing:
deleted lol repost
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] gmanfuzing:
you've gotten to be so mean, you know that. you used to be kind in your reply but now your just bleh and unhappy 24/7

the only reason i asked about an eta is becuase you have talked about it in so many of your replies that i expected you to actually know something. i was wrong.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] coolwater22:
quick question

for some reasong when i hold (down arrow or any arrow,as well as with the delete button) it keeps going and doesnt stop for quite sometime..if im texting and i want to delete a word i hold the delete button to delete the word and once its deleted i let the button go, but for some reason it keeps going and deleting the rest of my text and i was wondering if anyone has found the solution for this or if this is known, as i havent heard anyone talk about this....thnx for your time :)..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] slycker:
If you say 'mean' with your tongue in your cheek, then okay. If you're serious, as it seems you are, then you could use with a dose of perspective. I suppose he didn't sugar coat anything, nor insert rainbows, but he was quite helpful. He explained the decision, the rationale, and a potential course of action you could take to address your concern. There's a small group of people dedicated to the big jobs in making this port stable on the Rhodium, and arrrghhh is one of them - and is still one of the more considerate and helpful posters when it comes to answering [...] questions from 'the masses'. Some simply ridicule silly posts. Arrghh keeps ridicule to a minimal, and even takes the time to explain why the post may have been silly.

I think one of the best courses of action when it comes to open source communities is: if you want it, and someone else isn't doing it (at all/well enough/fast enough/the way you want), do it yourself. You'll notice the big contributors here are much more helpful/nice with someone if that person is trying to actively contribute by coding/debugging. I haven't been able to code in a helpful way in a few years because of time constraints, but I respect the guys who consistently contribute to the community by coding/debugging.

( I do have a pet project of trying to get rainbows ... er ... sound ... to come out of my 3.5mm jack, but we'll see if I can get some meaningful progress quick enough there )

EDIT:

gmanfuzing, looking back I can see you've done a fair bit of contributing with respect to sorting out bugs - kudos for that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I actually thought that was a pretty kind response - you should know asking for ETA's on a project where people are devoting free time is a no-no. A lot of merge requests have been pulled, but do I know when the next build is coming? No. Sorry... C'est la vie

I noticed this is intermittent. The solution? Only hit the button once per character you want to delete - so you can hit it quickly 6x instead of holding it for 3s. Holding the key is a baaaaaad idea, as you've found :D.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] coolwater22:
thnx for the quick respose. i was just wondering thnx again...also another thing i noticed is that sometimes i type and for some reason when typing, the keyboard doesnt work,i have to wait till the kb lights turn off and then restart typing...im not complaining,just curious if this also has not been found as i havent seen anything on it....

thnx again to all the devs.....for your time and effort on getting this port on to our tp2...keep up the good work :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yea, there's a third keyboard bug where a single key repeats 1,000 or 1,000,000,000 times it seems. Both of these bugs are *usually* resolved for me by closing the keyboard and reopening.

The non-functioning kb issue is resolved almost 100% of the time for me by doing that... but the repeat key but I'd say is only resolved 70% of the time by closing the kb...

To slycker - just read your post, you should hop on IRC sometime. I have some ideas for the 3.5mm jack, but have no talent in kernel development to implement it :p. Basically there's some functional code for another device (BLAC) that I believe can be adapted for RHOD. Not sure if it's the right path, but it seems like it might help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] coolwater22:

Interesting question, are you implying that you cannot?

I prefer using the Google Voice app as I use Google Voice, but I've had no problems with the built-in messaging app. I think there's even an APK for Handscent in the AndroidApps folder...

If you would have read even that last couple of pages you would know that answer for MMS not working. Please go back and read!

Stop giving it LSD....I believe there are some bugs dealing with them going to sleep as mine does it too sometimes. You can try a new RIL and see if that fixes it, there is a thread on that you will have to read.

I just look at it as well this is beta and I accept the few minor problems. There are dev threads where if you know how you can post your problems along with logs and they will try to smash the bugs.
