Hey guys, im coming from android to the winmo world, because im kind of getting tired of it.
i love having keyboards, and a nice solid feeling phone, therefore i went for the Rhodium.
I have 1 question though. I have had some abusive ex-girlfriends who always try to call and text me, and of course it upsets my current girlfriend and myself. Android has an app called Super Private Conversation(SPC), which allows you to blacklist certain numbers, and it automatically sends calls from that number to your voicemail, and it marks you sms messages as a private conversation, therefor you never get a notification.
anyways, my question is, if i get the Touch Pro 2, is there a way to block calls and sms from certain numbers?
thanks!any help is appreciated!
*edit: Also, im sorry if i have posted this in the wrong section, im not used to this part of the forum, so please move it accordingly. thanks!

interesting. i would buy android now. tp2 is ok i suppose, just way too slow. the timor rom is faster than the original tmobile rom. still, tp2 need 50% faster cpu.
what you did not like in the android?
sorry, i have no answer to your question.

there are many apps for WM, .. btw, have you considered Samsung OmniaPro B7610? ... it has QWERTY keyboard 800MHz Processor, AMOLED Display, and ofcourse Windows Mobile 6.5.
read some reviews and compare Touch Pro2 with OmniaPro B7610 before you make your final decision
cheers
Thanks for the replies guys!
There is not one thing i dislike about android, honestly. But im on tmobile for another year and a half, and im not a fan of their mobile selection. I currently have the Moto Cliq, but it doesnt have enough development surrounding it, and its very slow and laggy. The G1 is outdated. And the new nexus one doesn't have a keyboard.
So really, im just looking for the nicer phone with the most customization, and i feel as if i will get that with the touch pro 2
Try Ringo. Ringo can assign different ring tones including silence for both calls and SMS. I am happy with it.

just wait, with the cliq being rooted now, there are devs that are working fast to get custom ROMs out. I know there are ppl like justanotherdev working and manup456 and CC are working also. modmymoto.com is a good place to check out cliq developments if you havent been there yet, check it out. it may save your cliq.

ya i know, im on modmymoto everyday. there hasnt been anything significant in a couple of weeks. theres a sense hero, but the dev is having problems with the radio. then there are 2 generic ROM's with a couple of changes, but nothing significant.
I respect all the Devs @ Xda, for their work.
I was thinking is it Possible to run a Chrome OS on Rhodium,
What are the compatibility issues might Come Across,
I heard that there will be Chrome based smartphone being developed by HTC.
And Chrome will be more suitable for Hand held devices and Netbooks.
Is there any Hope for a Concept of "Chrodium"
maybe. but it doesnt run well as developed as it is anyways. its only a web browser os. i think there would be more driver issues than anything. though maybe you just want it for the name.
I don't know about a Chrome OS port to the Rhodium. The thing about the Android project is that it also is porting the full Linux kernel, so in theory any Linux based operating system should work. However, Chrome OS isn't that practical to begin with. As someone once said:
It's like a real OS but without all those pesky FEATURES and PROGRAMS that we hate so much! I mean, why would you need a computer that runs your browser, IM program, syncs up your iPod, downloads torrents and burns DVDs when you could have a computer that JUST BROWSES!

That quote sums it up for me, so it seems kind of pointless IMO. The Rhodium Android project covers the phone OS niche, while the Rhobuntu project covers the desktop Linux niche. I don't really see why we need another Linux OS port when those two areas are already covered. Just my 2 cents.

The idea itself is cool but as Dave said, we already have the other ports and Chrome OS isnt even at a retail release so im thinking we should put that idea back in the hat for a while...
Good to Know . . thanks Davs
I really didn't knew much detailed things about Chrome.
It was just a thought came across my my Celeron Powered Brain
And Btw, Thanks for the information provided above , and explaination
One more thing I still Like the Name "Chrodium"b

Uhm what? This really isn't the right thread or sub-section to post in. If you want WinMo information, please go to that section.
i used to have a htc vogue (aka htc touch vx 6900 US Cellular) that would run android eclair but slowly. i was due for an upgrade and picked up the more powerful touch pro 2 specifically to run android smoother. i love the dual boot between a nice custom win mo rom and android,however, ive noticed there isnt nearly as many diffrent android developers trying to port or whatever the term is to get it to work on the touch pro 2 like there is with win mobile roms. project android froyo ([PRJ][GSM&CDMA][CAB&RAR] XDAndroid AOSP Port & Startup Utility [8/30] FIXED NOISE!) has the most working stuff but even on a overclock runs like crap,lagging and not running certain apps. the klinux eclair 2.1 sense UI is great but locks up,lags,no sounds and has no internet. neopeek's eclair runs the best out of them all,super fast and responsive but no internet,no live wall paper and no sounds.
can anyone point me in the right direction of a actual android project or update that can bring me as close to a functioning android OS that will work. eclair looks promising on speed,but there is to much that is still broke on it. thx

Are you implying the existing projects are not "actual"?
People have put a lot of time and effort into these projects, and that type of comment is not going to get you a lot of love on this forum.

when i said "actual" i ment one that works, im not trying to criticize any of the developers here or not be appreciative. im just looking to have android run as smooth as everyone else does on their tp2.
TP2 Development
I am experiencing the same situation as you, but understand the TP2 is still under heavy development. Now that sound is working I would imagine stability and other features will be addressed in the next few weeks. If you want a phone that will work perfectly with Android switch to the HTC Desire that US Cellular just put out a few weeks back, it ships with Android. You can buy yourself out of the contract pro-rated for the time you have left. You cannot expect a phone that ships with Windows Mobile to run Android flawlessly. If you want to increase progress you can download the development tools and help, or you can post a bounty for items you would like addressed. You could also download the 6/20 version of MightyROM and enjoy a stable WM6.5 build. Good luck!
They all work, just to varying degrees.
([PRJ][GSM&CDMA][CAB&RAR] XDAndroid AOSP Port & Startup Utility [8/30] FIXED NOISE!) has the most working stuff

That's probably the best build right there. If you were expecting Android to run flawlessly on your fancy new phone, you are very, very mistaken.
If you want Android to run like it does on Android-specific devices... then you probably should've bought an Android device.
yea, i know its still under dev, but its like i have to choose between lag on froyo builds but almost everything works,or eclair builds that run as smooth as silk but miss out on my data connection,gps,ect ect.
ive just spent so much time into studying everything into android development and installation/updates ect ect and i still haven't even scratched the surface and it becomes frustrating after a full month of installing and deleting and back and forth testing,trust me, i know we all do the same here,but my eyes are burning from reading so many forums/topics/guides and i figure ill just ask if anyone has got a few of the bugs i have mentioned out of the way.
i can appreciate that somethings dont work cause thats just the way it is,but the kicker here is that the froyo build has almost everything working correctly, not to go back right not and look at the topic,but the only thing thats not working is camera,battery and bluetooth i think? and no big deal i dont need it anyways right now, but why cant i get an eclair build in the same working order?
i just would of thought that what could be applied to froyo could just as easily been applied to eclair.
im on neopeek v1.1 eclair right now,im going to see if i can get my data connection for US cell to work with a few tweaks,but ill miss the live wallpapers and gps.
C'est la vie buddy.
lol,now after applying a fix for US cell's data network gps works but no data
rofl,this stuff is killing me! lol

something i may have over looked is the possibility that other android builds are for gsm and NOT cdma? opps... but idk yet for sure, so far the best going is ([PRJ][GSM&CDMA][CAB&RAR] XDAndroid AOSP Port & Startup Utility [8/30] FIXED NOISE!) and i think ill just be going back to that. keep up the great work guys,looking forward to future updates.

You're... acting like a child dude. Hence the backlash.
Basically you're wanting something that a company would pay a hundred people to code & get 'perfect' - well this project is done by volunteers in their free time.
I'm sure they would appreciate a donation, if you can't contribute in any other way...

um no,im not looking for perfection, im looking to find out which one if any i have overlooked works best as of current,either by a whole new development,or by updates or tweaks. how am i supposed to help contribute my findings and fixes when i cant get the damn thing as stable as it is on your phone?
when i say "works" i mean that as in what works for you? not as in its got to be 100 percent perfect.
once again let me explain why i started this thread seeing how we seem to not be on the same level of thinking here. ill be as clear as crystal so you dont miss a beat.follow with me here...
froyo from prj android works but has a few glitches here and there (and i applaud their work and contribution to us all and i dont expect it to be 100%),i would just like it run how everyone else has on their tp2 that ive seen on youtube. eclair runs faster and smoother and is more responsive but somethings are not working on TP2. is there any updates on eclair builds? is there anybody that is having lag issues on prj android froyo,or are there some tweaks/settings/ or apps to smooth it out? why has dev shifted from eclair to froyo if eclair was running as smooth as it is,or is it just my phone sucks for some reason and eclair runs faster on it?
im trying to see what other users settings are,other experiences and other alternatives. what "works" for you. not some kind of im asking for a whole re write of the port on my lap. or slave your work to me. but now weve already gone beyond that point now haven't we?

I'm not sure what to tell you. I doubt my phone works any better than yours or anyone elses - it's FAR from perfect, as you've found and evidently have accepted.
So wait and be patient for new developments with the project - it's always gotten better & better.
With that said, I can only assume eclair development stopped because I know I'd prefer to run froyo over eclair... You can try throwing a new zImage/modules/rootfs at an eclair build, but no guranatees there.
Did you ever think it could be your SD card? Have you tried switching them out? Have you done a FULL (not quick) format to FAT32?
Froyo runs WAY faster than Eclair EVER did on my handset. There is no doubt about the difference, and thats why development shifted away from a dying and outdated version.

the xdandroid port featuring froyo is the best there is atm, nothing else. You can overclock to get "perfection" if you think thats something you are allowed to say. Fact of the matter is that you arent developing these port, nor are you contributing in any way shape or form. If you are looking for a smooth android experience go get an android phone, if you want novelty and pioneering then stick to your TP2 and install xdandroid and stop arguing with other members on this forum.
As for all the questions you asked in the post I quoted, there is a search button you could use so that you dont have to start useless threads.

What makes you say it's better than Neopeek's? A lot of users say that with the use of the Linux partitioning, that build runs much faster.

I personally have tried them both and I just like xdandroid posted by reefer better, so I guess I should have said " in my opinion" rather than just "atm". my bad. I just hate it when people come into forums just to ask questions and to belittle the developers work and not search first themselves. Usually those are the people that are here solely to freeload and not even help with troubleshooting other members problems or post experiences.
this is actually my 10th or more install of prj android froyo and this time for some weird reason it is faster.
yes i did format the sd card the long way, i used gparted live cd as well because i had to set it up for neopeek in 2 partitions . i have two sd cards at 2 and 4 gigs (i swap between) that i just decided to keep a 512mb partition in ext2 for projects like neopeek on both of them.
regardless this time around is giving me a faster experience on froyo, and i didnt edit change anything,just the common install with a soft restart as usual.i am using the blazn overclock i believe it is 716 or 768 mhz.
and of coarse i will keep you posted on any changes or fixes i find.

what is it with you people, didn't mommy and daddy love you enough as a child and teach you if you dont have anything good to say then dont say it all. who is belittling developers? i didnt come in here saying i think some one from this project or that is retarded,as a matter of fact i am grateful for the work these people have done and your trying to belittle me. im explaining what issues im having between different projects and jerks like you are trying to make me look like the bad guy.so comon down from your high horse and actually read what im talking about instead of jumping of the handle and making your self look like a complete jackass. yet once again, you miss the point. if i wanted an android phone i would of got one from the beginning ,i got a tp2 obviously to play around with android,see what it can do,what i can do to it and other reasons. ive got a few dev tools to create software for android i would like to use, so im asking questions, and if you sat a computer for as long as i have researching this with 30 or more tabs open trying to take notes from other threads,you'd be sick of reading all this other crap and post your own experiences/questions too.
and im a little well wiser than to keep stroking your ego,because people like you starve for the attention,otherwise you wouldnt jump into this thread to post your snotty ass comments.so if you wanna keep talking crap instead of offering something insightful to say,go ahead,cause im done dealing with **** heads like you.
Well another thread where you all jump on someone and make him look like an asshole for asking questions. How can you help people when you treat them like ****? I've been working with Linux and Android for a while now and I bet half of you write code that looks like a kid scribbling on the back of a McDonald´s napkin. I tell you what.. Treat people better and you just might have more people to aid in the projects and to the functionally quality. I have been messing with Linux and the open source development scene for years and this is a joke. Like a bunch of kids with computers and a power trip but on the same token you all write code like old people ****
Is it possible to port icecream (android 4.0) to the touch pro 2?

Wrong section, I'll move it for you. Typically questions go in General (or Q&A if that section exists for your device), but since this is a native WinMo device, if you have anything Android related, it should go in the Android section.
jonpry's got it booting, but let's just say there's a couple of things that are broken, mainly related to graphics. He's working on a compositor, we'll see if it will make it functional. I saw a video of it running on a G1 (although it was awfully slow)... so our hardware is pretty similar but more RAM - so it might be possible, but it might not ever be a very pleasant experience. I'm sure there will be plenty of themes for older native phones that are stuck with old versions of Android, if worse comes to worse .

I'm keeping track of all the projects and so far hardware acceleration is missing on most devices. Changes are ics really needs gles 2.0..
The good news is there are a lot of groups working on this.
Hello there everyone. I have been browsing this site for about the past 2 years but only decided to register because I am upgrading from my OG Droid Incredible to the Nexus and i see how large and active the Dev base is for this device. I have a fair amount of experience with flashing roms on my Dinc (currently running CM7.2) and am excited to make the move to ICS.
I would like some opinions on what you guys think are the best custom roms out for the nexus though. so far I am very interested in AOKP because it seems to be the most stable and polished rom i have seen. I plan to flash my nexus right out of the box when i get it.
Also, i can't seem to find a place to add a signature in the Cpanel, is there one somewhere or do you guys just add on a Copy/Paste to the end of posts?
If you've been around this site for a couple of years now you should know that asking "what the best ROM is" only leads to closed threads. Its all a matter of opinion. What works for one person may not necessarily work for another.. why this person thinks this ROM is the best, another person may think the opposite. It's best to try them out for yourself, see which one YOU like.
As far as editing your sig.. at the top somewhere on your PC, you'll see User CP (user control panel).. click it. Then look to the left if your screen.. along the sidebar you should see Edit Signature. ..if that's what your referring to!

i'm sorry if i come off like i want to know what the "best rom" is, i know that there is no best rom and like you said what works for one person may not work for another. that being said, some personal opinions about their taste in roms are still useful are they not?. and i do fully intend to try out several roms. as for my experience with this site, 90% of it has been with viewing the first page of rom posts, so i apologize for my ignorance in that regard. and i thoroughly searched through the user control panel to no avail, signatures must be disabled for me if that is where the interface to change them is located.
[EDIT] the reason joined this site is because with the nexus, i would actually like to get involved in the dev community and create something new, i was trying to use this thread more as a "say hi" kind of thread than just asking about what rom i should get. i dont think i accomplished that very well.
My advice is to just unlock bootloader, root and then run STOCK ROM. I have been running ROMS on phones here for a long time and for the first time on a phone think at this point the STOCK rom is the best and most stable. Next to it I would say Mikes AHRD is a great stable rom and that is always his goal. But try them all if you like. I would stay STOCK>
