Of course, in due time. Alex is pushing to get the merges in, assuming they work. I'm going to be testing it for him today... But last time I attempted the new acoustic stuff there were some pretty major deprecations - like no mic in speakerphone, and audio just randomly deciding to die completely. So unless it all goes flawlessly today there's still some work to be done on the new acoustic code.
I figured this one would be popular. Glad someone appreciates this change
+1
We all appreciate your hard work. Keep it up! And congrats to you and all the devs involved in this project!

After getting the BT partnership set up with the car I tested the audio and it failed so this will be important for me. I took a look at the thread on fixing, it looked a bit complicated, but I might give it a go. Just don't want to screw up what I have managed to get working, so I'll be watching out for the patch.
Upped to 7.1 last night without any issues at all, by swapping out all but ts-cal, data.img and STARTUP.
FYI. The phone lasted until 11:45 last night on the second battery before the first alert, so 11 hrs.. Wow what a step up from F6!!!!! Admittedly it was not used for any major stuff, but I had left BT on and was doing FB and eMail and a couple of calls, etc... so impressive.
Had one funny though.
Through the night I leave the phone in a cradle and in Clock mode. When, I believe it would be eMails came in during the night, the phone switched from Clock night mode to another application... MixZing Media Player. Any thoughts?That leads to another question, is there a profile option setting so that the phone can behave differently at different times of day, etc? Can't seem to see anything, though I did buy an app, Phone Weaver, but it is not very good.
PS: FYI: after adding this the phone did an update on a number of apps. Went in to XDANDROID boot screen, but again had no radio so I did a soft reboot, when opened would not fully load the desktop and went into XDANDROID boot screen. Now back, but no radio. FYI this does not happen in F6 and I am certain it is Market Place causing it, it may be adding process requirements causing boot screen, but don't understand why when it returns there is no radio...
Anyway, updates completed and all working fine again. It's lovely.

a few questions
wassup guys great build to date! i love it,its batter,speed, and many other things work well. thanks for the hard work guys, keep it up. however i had a few questions.
1st of all i was wondering is there any way to turn of the lights on the front (i.e. the talk,windows,back,end button) when using the keyboard?? everytime i have the key board and press a button the front lights light up and i find it rather annoying. if anyone can help me out or point me to the right direction i would appreciate that. and if not its alright..
Second question i had was that there are times that i call someone and i can hear the phone calling but my friends receiving the call never get the call. idk if its just me or what.. plzzz help..
thanks again for your time guys!!

Good to know. Thought it was only me.
Nice update btw
Thanks a lot!!Launchers???
Curious: Loaded Zeam and am REALLY HAPPY with it
How do you uninstall the native launcher? Getting tired of having to choose when I have made my decision to use Zeam.
Tried application manager and uninstall is not an option.
Very nice job and THANKS!!!!

Just set Zeam as default, when you are asked to choose.
I think that's a bug. Even if you tell wifi to stay on, it seems to turn itself off no matter what... I guess if you change it to leave the phone always on when charging, maybe that will force wifi to stay on - assuming it's plugged in...?

First is a feature - I don't know if there will be an option to disable that or not... there's lights underneath those buttons, and for the longest time they didn't work at all! Now they get them working and you want them off
.Second, I'm not sure what you mean. You're initiating a call to a friend, and their phone never rings..? Does the call go to voicemail? I'd assume they're just missing the call on their side then...
+1. You don't 'uninstall' the default launcher, just make whatever launcher you prefer the default with that checkbox.

You can use LEDs hack from the market to toggle them off, but then they won't even turn on when you press those buttons themselves (unless you toggle them back on), so you have to pick your poison. I have those turned off and the keyboard backlight turned off too (also in the market: backlight off).

That is rich, but it's also the joy of Android. My setup works how I like it, not how a distant entity thinks I should like it
Had one funny though.
That leads to another question, is there a profile option setting so that the phone can behave differently at different times of day, etc? Can't seem to see anything, though I did buy an app, Phone Weaver, but it is not very good.
Anyone any thoughts on these two, please?
Thank you!
Hi arrrghhh,
Firstly, thanks a lot for developing this. Sincerely do appreciate it. Android runs like a dream on the Touch Pro2.
I am absolutely new to Android and have been using WM 6.5 for a year or so.
There are a few apps that I use on WM 6.5 and would be grateful be if you and anyone else who has been using Android could please let me know the names of apps that are similar to the ones that I use in WM 6.5. The ones used are:
Core Player to play videos
Pocket Clock Pro for world clock/alarm/timer/stopwatch
Microsoft Active sync 4.5 for syncing contacts / calendar / notes with the laptop
Hide my stuff for hiding folders and directories with a password
Cleartemp for cleaning temp files and recent programs
Dinarsoft Memmaid to scan and detect all the files and registry entries that consume memory and removes them
faria mod-dofred-tasmgr to import reg files into the registry
Resco File Explorer
ScreenCapture to capture screen shots
In WM 6.5, if I want to call John, I would press 5646 in WM 6.5 and John's name appears. In android, the dialer dials only the numbers that I press. Is there a dialer that would recognize the names of people corresponding to the numbers on the dialer.
Thanks and regards,
Amit

Guys, I'm not an Android expert here. I can help with issues with the port, but both of you (gobatman2001 and jonners59) are asking questions that apply to native Android devices.
So did you guys try searching on your own? I don't mind answering questions that relate directly to the port, but a lot of these questions like 'what app to use for this' etc really apply to native Android devices and don't have anything directly to do with the port.
gobatman2001 - I'll try to throw you a bone here. First, there's no registry in Android / Linux. So no registry apps. See my speed improvements thread for memory management. For syncing contacts and calendar, use Google / GMail. Much easier than syncing with your PC. Astro is a good file explorer.
jonners59, sorry... I have no clue what you're talking about hence why I didn't respond to that section of your post.

try this on wm,
open your regestry editor
regestry\HKLM\Comm\BCMSDDHD1\Parms\HTCKeepWifiOnWhenUnattended
make the value 1, hit ok and reset
then boot back to android, this has been working for me, hope it does for you too
Copy startup, ts-calib, and data.img. Delete everything else, then grab everything from the bundle and put it on your SD card, same folder as before so startup.txt matches. Done!
I've got a question/problem with the new 07.1 after a fresh install.
After placing a phone call the roaming indicator comes on and the only way I can get it to go away is a restart.
My phone is on Telus and a Rhodium 400 with no sim card installed.
I did a search and came up with modifying eri.xml but I can't seem to find it and it sounds like editing it isn't supposed to be necessary in this new build.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, everything seems to work fine with it on and this new build is fantastic otherwise. With little use I've been over 24 hours on one charge!

Did you try configuring your APN...? The apns-xml.conf file might not have the right info for your carrier...

65FRX07.1 is here!!
This is a maintenance release - basically taking the newest components to make a completely up-to-date (as of Sept. 1).
Quite a lot has changed since FRX06 - the install process hasn't really, but be sure to read the changelog in the next post and the caveats in post #3!
<<<This is a link to the... FAQ Click it!!>>>
I have created a complete bundle of FroYo with a stable kernel from GIT (August 19 / 1348), and rootfs from GIT (Sept. 2).
Please, feel free to DONATE to the XDAndroid project!
Every little bit helps!
Directions:
1. Download the full bundle (zip). (Updated September 1 2011)
If instead you just want the system.ext2 (zip) (Updated July 15 2011) file by itself... Don't download this if you're not sure! Grab the full bundle!
2. Extract it. You’ll see a folder, FRX07.1, copy its contents to the root of your SD card. If you want to run Android from a folder instead of all the files on the root of the card, follow the steps below.
3. Go into the STARTUPS folder. Grab the appropriate startup.txt for your device (if you don't know what device you have, you should read the FAQ), 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)
4. Screen calibration - you have three choices:
- Re-use an old ts-calibration file if you have it and you know it's good.
- Download the ts-calibration.zip file and extract it to where you put the rest of the files (root of SD or in a folder - make sure it all stays together!)
- Manually calibrate - boot with no ts-calibration file and watch the boot process - you'll be asked to hit 5 points to calibrate the screen. If you have issues calibrating, try an older kernel (1225 works well) Once you have the calibration file hold on to it (make 15 copies if it's a good one ), reboot & go back to the newest kernel!
6. Run haret.exe.. Profit!
Let it settle out on the first boot. Many have reported they had to reboot basically because it was so slow - if you let it sit for about 10 mins so the media scanner can go thru everything, etc. it will be much more pleasurable experience. If you want adb in and watch the processes via top, you'll see why the phone seems so slow - there's lots of background processes cranking because this is the first boot.
Troubleshooting:
Please read the... FAQ
If you have any issues with the kernel, feel free to change it:
There are some devices that are having issues with the newest kernels. Please see the kernel autobuild service to get archived kernels. Once you download a replacement kernel, go to where you run haret.exe from - remove your old zImage/modules-xxxxx.tar.gz. Take the new zImage/modules-xxxxx.tar.gz and replace the old ones, same folder - where you run haret.exe from. Make sure the ‘zImage’ is named just that. Do not rename the modules file, do not extract it - should be in .tar.gz format.
See Incremental Updates for more information on updating the kernel and other components.
Random issues can often be solved by forcing the system to create a new data.img. If you're worried about losing data (all user data is stored in the data.img!!), Titanium Backup works quite well. If you wish, you can rename the data.img to something else, and let the system create a new one - just to see if it resolves your problem.
Similarly, if you wish try formatting your SD card - I prefer to use the HP Tool - do a full format, FAT32.
Even though this build is considered fairly stable, you are more than likely going to run into issues. The next post will address issues particular to this build - PLEASE READ THESE before asking questions! Feel free to post questions in this thread, I will do my best to address them. Big thanks to stinebd for releasing the system image, and of course the other developers for their hard work on making these kernels available.14Layman's Changelog
(As in, the changelog I wrote)
FRX07.1 Changelog:
- RHOD - all buttons on the front no longer wake the device. Only the power button wakes the device now.
- Updated to the newest RIL
- hyc's modified libs for video now baked in - *most* HQ YouTube videos (and other HQ videos) should finally work!
- RHOD & TOPA - Userland (Android) now controls the LED by default now. If you need to debug sleep, you will have to change the behavior manually. See Detule's post on this topic.
- Facebook sync should now work, out-of-box.
FRX07 Changelog:
- Updated RIL (thanks hyc!) - this covers many different bugs that were in the old RIL - I'm only going to cover the major ones...
- CDMA now works correctly (for the most part). force_cdma (and north_am_dialing) is now deprecated (not needed/ignored!)
- You can boot with a SIM in on a CDMA device and choose your GSM or CDMA on the fly under Settings.
- Location based on towers now works on CDMA.
- 1xRTT now displays correctly, but I never seem to get EVDO Rev.a... I always get 0. This is represented by a 3g icon, as this is what the Android framework provides.
- Full MMS support! Please see this page for configuration instructions. Will need help fleshing out the list of carriers folks!
- Spotty service, switching towers, etc should no longer cause the dreaded SoD (Sleep of Death) condition!
- (Basic audio) 3.5mm support for RHOD400/500
- Droidwall works out of the box now
- Keyboard backlight now fades in/out
- Gallery3D back in! Picasa Web Sync comes with it
- A couple new apps added to AndroidApps folder:
- rpierce99's app GetLogs
- Titanium Backup
13
And to that effect, I would like to personally apologize to everyone for how long it took. Life has been crazy busy the past couple months. Hopefully we'll get GRX01 out in a more timely manner.11Caveats:
- BT - works now! But audio doesn't route. See this thread if you're feeling adventurous and want to play with/don't mind using some unstable/incomplete code...
NOTE: BT must be disabled in WinMo before booting Android or else you'll run into all sorts of odd issues... - WEP on wifi doesn't work. I heard an app called 'wifi-ace' (on the Market) fixes WEP!
- If auto-brightness is enabled, the keyboard/button lights will fail at random. See this post for more scant details .
