Thanks.

Ive ran into something else interesting too.

When ever reset up the android ports, all the contact and pictures I have set up for them are gone, naturally.

But after a few reboots into android all the contacts appear again in my conrat list.

Im not complaining about this, its a great time saver.

But Im couriose as to what causes this.

Has anyone else noticed this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
lol, gsync dude. If you have your contacts tied to your GMail account, then setup an account in Accounts & Sync... then it will sync whatever it can. email, calendar, contacts... with the right gallery apk it'll sync picasa web albums too!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] danstheman7:
Sorrysorrysorry arrrghhh, I didn't see that post.

Yes I made sure I extracted the file to the root directory of my SD card.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] aedon:
Does it do this automaticly?

because I never synced it myself, the only thing Ive done is sighn in to the market place.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Ok, this is where you run haret.exe from? root of your card? ..along with everything else from the full bundle package?

If you have contacts/email/calendar events, yes it will automatically check those boxes and sync those things... Unless you go in and uncheck them.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] danstheman7:
Correct, all in the root directory. Extracted everything right to the base directory.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] SteelLife:
Follow this! See if it will help!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Hrm. I don't know what you're missing dude, unless you pick something out of the flying text that seems like an error?

Start from square one. Format the card using the HP Tool (full format, FAT32). Follow the steps above if you want it in an FRX06 folder, or redo at the root of the SD based on the directions in the first post. Something's awry.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] satzzz:
Sorry to be a pain but where can I locate the 'AndroidBootFolder' so I can change the location to FRX06??

thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Please follow the directions on the first post. He's talking about the extracted folder....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] satzzz:
That's great.I have followed the above and found it a great help.The only reason I asked was that although i've edited the startup .txt to point to the FRX06 folder I get the andriod missing on start up of dualboot so I thought there must be another folder that I ned to change so it points to Android.I'll search the forums to see if I can locate the answer.

Cheers for the quick response
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I'm confused, do you still need help?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] satzzz:
I do but I don't want to be any hassle (hence me trying to resolve it myself.I have edited the startup.txt to point to FRX06 folder byut when running Gen.Y Dualboot it says android missing but i've already ran it from HARET.exe and istalled it so I know it's working.It just won't find Android at startup.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Read the Gen.Y thread. You need to adjust a registry entry in WinMo if you put HaRET in a non-normal location.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jonners59:
arrrghhh

I gathered I had, and yes it is very complex and confusing, especially for a noddy like me! Appreciate your patience and perseverance :rolleyes:

It just failed again, so it definitely did not install properly, which I kinda guessed. I get data and SMS, but no in or outbound calls I make just hang and can't be shut down!

Froyo7 it is.... So without asking when, at what stage are the guys at in getting it ready for release? I.e. what needs to be done?

Cheers arrrghhh :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
We're in the testing phase, should be soon.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] maff1989:
Will this be RMNET or PPP?

I don't even know if RMNET is available for the Tilt2/TP2 Android, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Plus, PPP is KILLIN' me with its instability :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] SteelLife:
You have to go into windows registry and change.

Registry

Gen.Y DualBOOT checks for 5 registry keys, which allow some form of customiation. Apart from the last key (StorageBootMode), all keys can be modified utilizing the radio & check buttons in the GUI. All of these keys can be found in:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gen.Y\DualBOOT]<-------windows registry

Here's quick list describing what the keys are for

"AutoBootEnabled"=dword:1 (1: enable autoboot | 0: disable autoboot)

"FastBootEnabled"=dword:0 (1: enable fastboot | 0: disable fastboot)

"AutoBootAndroid"=dword:1 (1: boot Android | 0: boot Windows)

"StorageBootMode"=dword:0 (1: boot from Storage Card (SDMemory) | 0: boot from Internal Storage (moviNAND))

v1.0.6.0 and newer: "AndroidBootFolder"="string" ("": boot from root of storage (e.g. \Storage Card\haret.exe)| "andboot": boot from \Storage Card\Andboot\haret.exe, string can be edited in registry)

v1.0.5.0 and older: "AndroidBootFolder"=dword:0 (1: boot from \Android\ folder on storage (e.g. \Storage Card\Android\haret.exe)| 0: boot from root of storage)

The example values are the ones that are in the CAB for Internal Storage devices.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] fishingmedic:
If you follow the link arrrghhh posted above, and use the latest release which was already noted earlier (I think it's 1.0.6.0) just load it up in winmo, use the right cab for the TP2 and once it's loaded up, just make a reg edit while still in winmo to point to the folder that has haret in it. You don't need to edit the startup.txt for Gen Y. As long as the startup.txt file works to boot android, you need to have the reg edit (Androidbootfolder) to note which folder it's looking at. If you have it in andboot.FRX06 then the string needs to say exactly that. If you have it in a folder titled iwantfrx07nowplease, then that must be in the reg edit.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Viperlocc:
I have a Uscellular touch pro 2 and I believe it uses the rhod400 (not sure since info is not on sticker, read somewhere that uscell uses the rhod400 and rhod500 and 500 freezes).

My problem is I formatted the sd card and put the contents of the folder on it along with the ts calibration and moved the startup.txt for the rhod400 to same dir as haret.exe.

Then when I run Haret.exe it boot linux runs a bunch of stuff shows the xdandroid screen for a while and then shows the android screen for about 10 seconds which i believe its frozen since its sideways even when the phone is up and down and then it reboots back into crappy windows 6.5.

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong and how I can fix this?

Also I read in one of your posts as step 2 being rename tscalibration but cannot find that in your original instructions so didnt rename it to anything.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
RMNET is only available on MAGLDR for WinCE phones in Android, no? I didn't think ClockWorkMod builds ever got RMNET... or SD card/haret installs for that matter!

It's definitely still PPP. Have you tried the new RIL? It'll be in the next build. Lots of PPP-related bugs are squashed with the new RIL, among other things.

[COMPLETED] New more stable ril - see post #6 in that thread. Like I said, FRX07 will have this new hotness built in ;).

Just saw this post. You're sure there's no sticker stating what RHOD it is...?

Odd that RHOD500 startup freezes, the only difference is the keyboard layout which shouldn't cause a freeze...

I need to re-read my directions I thought I took the part out about renaming. You should only need to extract the .zip file, renaming it was causing issues :p. ts-calibration should be the file name (no extension) and it should go where you run haret.exe from.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Viperlocc:
Thanks for the reply and the only listings on the phone sticker are MEID hex, MEID DEC and the S/N thats all :(

As for the renaming I found that on the second page or something in a reply you did to someone else and I put it in the same spot as haret which is on the sd card after it was formatted.

ALso when I put the startup.txt with haret.exe I don't have to add anything to it if its not in a different folder correct?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
If startup.txt, haret.exe and all the rest are at the root of the SD card, nothing needs to be added.

If you place it all in a folder, say FRX06 - then you need the rel_path=FRX06 statement in your startup.txt.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Viperlocc:
Thanks for the responce and from the sounds of it I am doing everything right except I have tried 3 times now to run this with the RHOD400 and get the same results everytime :(

Should I do a system restore for windows mobile to make sure its running good and see if that helps? Just grasping at straws since I know windows mobile shuts down to run linux but hey what the heck lol

One more thing, when I formatted the sd card I used the normal formatting tool that comes with windows 7. Should I try it with the one u mentioned in the first post to where the link isnt working for me?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yes, please try a full format with the HP Tool. I'll double check, but that should be the same link... (confirmed, same link).

WinMo ROM has little to no effect on Android at this stage in the game. To my knowledge, all hardware is initialized natively by the Linux kernel.

I would also make damn sure it's a RHOD400. There's gotta be a line you're missing somewhere. It is quite tiny, and in a gray font instead of black - it's usually near the IMEI (at the end of the FCC ID on mine).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] zengyee:
Any Schedule for FRX07?

I heard FRX07 is comming, is there any release schedule?

Looking forward to the good news:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Viperlocc:
Thanks for the responce again and I finally got it to work. I had to uninstall Fring which I was trying to use with google voice and it set itself to auto start with windows so I am guessing that when it shut windows down to run linux it wasnt shutting that down,

Now tomorrow I will have the fun time of trying to get google voice to work on it lol

Also now since you said it was in grey I finally found it but had to use a led flashlight to see it since my eye sight isnt the greatest and thats why I wasn't seeing it before, I was only looking at the information on the white sticker :/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
When it's ready.

I wish I had a solid date, but I don't - so it would be unfair to just make one up.

Our releases don't work on a set schedule, it's just some dudes volunteering up some of their free time to hack at this. So throw 'em a few bucks, help 'em stay motivated ;).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] zilog24:
So I'm pretty sure I went about this the wrong way, but I'm new at this, so can some one point me in the right direction to solve my problem?

I've got a Tilt 2. I followed the instructions here (for 2 reasons: 1. They were specifically for Tilt 2 [may or may not be a good reason], and 2. They were the easiest to follow).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13125653#post13125653

I encountered this same problem (no data connection using highlandsun RIL):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13125653#post13127781

I had already done the proposed solution (a few posts below), so that wasn't going to fix it.

I re-installed using the latest kernel (htc-msm-linux @ 20110627_223755) and the default (non-highlandsun) RIL. Now the data connection and wireless work, but it tears through battery like nobody's business. I would get 2 days of light usage out of it in winmo, but android gives me about 8 hours. I can leave it sitting on the desk, untouched all day, and it's dead in less than 12.

So where did I go wrong? I know the post I followed is a little old, but the software in it seems to be more recent than in the OP of this thread, so I went with it. I'd prefer not to have to rebuild my OS yet again, but if that's what I need to do, just let me know.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] nasapunk88:
For me 8 hours of basic usage is pretty much the average I can get. 5 hours of heavy usage. The only thing i'd say is your phone isn't sleeping. You should get over 12 hours with not touching it. Make sure that you get a Green led when you turn it off. Check it and see if it starts blinking/goes orange.Most likely you have some app that's keeping it awake (GPS will do this and a lot of syncing apps).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
WinMo also isn't syncing with Google, etc... It really depends on what your background apps are doing.

Also, our battery meter is pretty... off. Not sure that will mean a boon in battery life, there might also be something that is killing the battery above and beyond normal Android-related stuffs.

I don't think you've done anything wrong. Just make sure the phone is sleeping as stated above.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] aedon:
Is there a way to change the top right clock from black to white?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] helicopter88:
You have to extract and decompile the framework-res.apk

Then you should find a xml about the top bar and edit a value..

I've done it before,but now i don't remember their names sorry..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] The Silent Man:
@arrrghhh,

What about the camera in FRX07 on RHOD100 with AUO panel, will it work?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Kernel issue, nothing to do with the build...

See jb's cam testing thread for moar info (I think you've posted there before...)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] aedon:
Thanks. I themed it using the framework file, but the clock stayed black and I chose a dark taskbar so it doesnt show up unfortunatly.

I can open the framework file by just making it a zip rather then an apk right?

On a seperate note, someone tried sending me a picture message but I never recieved it.

I could have sworn that my first time around running this froyo that my mms worked just fine

I tried out the gingerbread and it didnt work so I went back to froyo.

Now its not working again, has this happened befor?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
MMS doesn't work out of the box in FRX06 or GBX0A. Next release it will work, with some minimal configuration by the user (still working out the kinks here).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] aedon:
Alright then. I guess that explains it not recieving, but Im pretty sure I had sent pictures befor.

What would the user configuration be?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
In the next build? APN. Need to set MMSC. I'm thinking stine will find a way to automate it, there's only a handful of CDMA carriers worldwide...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] aedon:
It does seem that way..

Is there a way to set the MMSC in the current build?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Well yes but it won't do you any good without the other changes to the RIL, Mms.apk and Phone.apk... Please, have some patience. We're working hard to make sure there's no bugs or any gotchas before we release. I'm sure there will be a few, but we're doing our best to eliminate any obvious ones ;). Lots of stuff has changed, so it's take a while to get it all solid... thanks for understanding!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] aedon:
I dont mind waiting. I was just curiouse as to where it stood at the moment.

Thanks for letting me know
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] The Silent Man:
I haven't but thanks anyway.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
No problem. It's annoying when you don't know the root cause, but sometimes it's best to not question it and just move on ;).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] slapshot30:
My phone will not boot this FRX05 build. I put it in an andboot folder and put the relpath line in the startup.txt too. I got to the black screen and the text scrolling but then it kept repeating a block of code and the last line of each block says something about taking longer than 120 seconds. Any help?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Quincux:
Press the screen calibration squares box, or download the ts-calibration from first post.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] QuentinX5:
You need to calibrate your screen. You can either do it by calibrating it from top left, top right, center, bottom left, and bottom right, or just download the ts-calibration file that arrrghhh provided here.

EDIT - Quincux beat me to it XD

Only thing about calibrating it though, is that it is sometimes a bit hard to see where the boxes are (at least that's how it's been for me) as to where they are calibrated, so I just memorized a approximate location on the screen and the pattern.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] slapshot30:
Thanks but I already have that file in my andboot folder... that's why I'm so confused. Should I try again and tell you guys some of that repeating code?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] QuentinX5:
Okay, so I have found a awkward bug, but I am starting to wonder if it just with the Messenger application (The one that comes standard with stock). Anyways, whenever I go to try and delete a selected thread (conversation), it will not allow me to delete it, doesn't even ask. Is it a bug in the app or something? I would think a suggestable workaround would be to uninstall the messenger application and reinstall it, but I don't know if the Android Market has it on there :X

*EDIT* - On another note, I have been getting a SoD more commonly on my Tilt2. I have tried a new data.img, didn't solve the problem. Even went as far as doing the whole HP Tool SD card format, still didn't fix the error. It usually happens after Messenger stops working. Also have it go very laggy for the first few minutes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Quincux:
You edit the startup.txt adding "rel_path=" command?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
For SMS I assume? You long press on one of the threads and there isn't a delete option...?

If I long press on one of the SMS messages a context menu comes up allowing me to delete the thread...

Hrm...

I don't know if it'll make a difference but perhaps format the card using the HP tool?

Might not help... The clock issue should be fixed 1276, what kernel are you on? There was a command people had been recommending in the startup, but it honestly should no longer be needed. I'm kinda assuming you're just running the bundle, nothing changed...?

I also assume you've let it boot for at least 10 minutes?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] slapshot30:
Yes I did, i put andboot at the end of that.

Yea I might try to reformat my SD card. But I was using the basic bundle on your first post and it did this. Tomorrow I may try and extract everything onto the root of the SD, take out the relpath in my startup and see if it changes anything. It was already about 20 minutes and just looping the same block of code.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] QuentinX5:
Yeah, for SMS. I can long press to get the option, and I press it, and it does nothing. The bug has persisted ever since I formatted and put the new FRX05 on there. Even a new data.img did nothing.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Odd.

I guess one last question about the rel_path= statement - you have placed it between the quotes after set cmdline? One space (you can have more probably, but need at least one :p) between each statement...?

You can post your startup.txt if you want...

Is it at least creating a data.img? Have you tried deleting it and booting again?

Trying to think of anything else that can hold up the boot process like that. I'm running out of ideas, different SD card? Grabbing at straws, I know...

Edit - just noticed your post.

I certainly do NOT have this issue. So before FRX05 you didn't have the problem? I was going to recommend the data.img method...

Do you use anything to restore SMS messages? I honestly don't know what would cause that. I'm on FRX05, and literally just deleted a thread no problem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] QuentinX5:
I did not have the issue before using FRX05. It started back up after I had to format because HaRET wasn't working. I do use a file to restore SMS messages, but I am not sure how that would mess with the messenger app. Everything has been seeming kind of buggy and sluggish on it since I started using it... Maybe I should try a new data.img and filter through my Titanium Backup to not install any system files...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
At least rename your data.img and let it create a fresh one - without restoring anything, see if you still have that Messaging App bug. Weird one for sure, but if TB has some sour backup of it... Yea :p.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] QuentinX5:
Darn... Jumped two steps ahead and made a new data.img :X

Though I also replaced the kernel, and the system.ext2 file to see if that changes anything, and it so far seems like it has worked... Though I am still working my way through TB.

*EDIT* - Ran into same error after restoring the messages. It makes no sense as to why restoring the messages might give me this bug, it never has before...

It runs fine and dandy until I restore them :/

Maybe it's how they are being restored or something :|

*EDIT2* - And it is now fixed. I thought for a bit and forced stopped the Messenger app, then reloaded it. Was probably still connected to my SMSBackup, which would of caused the definite lag, and the constant crashes and SoD's from the phone :D

All is good and running smoothly again. Thanks to all for the help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] slapshot30:
Alright, I tried one more time this morning and I got to the screen calibration screen and then got it to boot all the way. Weird. Oh well, I'm glad I got it working now. I didn't have a data.img in the first place so that must've not been the issue. Quick question though, I know a fresh data.img is best but is it a must for every new kernal/rootfs?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I somehow KNEW you were doing this. Ever heard of Google Voice? :p You're from the US, you can archive SMS messages. I never do, I just delete them as soon as the convo is done ;).

No. Sometimes the data.img just seems to go haywire, and making it create a new one fixes it.

System images we usually recommend a new data.img, but that isn't always required either - like from FRX03->FRX04 you could probably keep the data.img, assuming you're using signed images distributed by stine ;).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] QuentinX5:
I did not know Google Voice had such capabilities... I must look into the stock apps eventually. Thanks for the tip though :D

*EDIT* - I can't find anything about archiving SMS messages. Even Google fails to provide such information. :X
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
It's just like gmail. You receive a txt, and you get the option to archive... just like gmail - you've used gmail, yes?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] QuentinX5:
Occasionally... But not really. I use it to sync my contacts and for apps that need a gmail account. It's not really my standard email, but I use the app occasionally.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Well the archive feature in gmail is basically identical to the archive SMS feature in GV.

The only PITA is having yet another phone number... but I like it, as I give everyone out my new number, and I just slowly migrate old contacts to my new one ;). Then, in the future, I can just keep the GV number and whatever other phone numbers I have are meaningless assuming everyone is using the GV number!
