Help! How to install Android on my Touch Pro 2?

== MOD EDIT ==
please check stickY
== END EDIT ==
Hi there,
First of all! Great forum! You guys have build a great community and I like it. But I hope you can help me with this. i know there are a lot of threads about this, but because all the different type of phones/android versions ect... I don't know what to do...
My question, how can I get Adroid running on my HTC Touch Pro 2 (Rhodium). I have the standart version, so not a branded one.
I've tried to install it but android won't launch. Maby one of you could create a mini tutorial or a noob tutorial, because I think there are more people like me (with less knowedge of phone tech) who want to run android on their phones. I hope you could help me!
Thanks!
Kind Regards,
Sami

Haret is part of the android program. (haret.exe)
You can either use a file explorer to navigate to storage card/android/haret
or with the .cab installs (anything after 2/22) you will get an icon in your start menu.

Hi Thanks I've used that thread but used the wrong cab. Didn't know that rhod100 is the standart version
Thank you! It works now, but is it a known problem that you cant fill in the correct code (PIN code for your SIM?).
And second I can't charge my battery with the usb cable is this also a known problem?
Thanks
Regards!

Disable your pin in WinMo as stated in my release notes.

I have Android installed on my phone and it works fine except one MAJOR thing. I messed up the touch screen calibration and now I can't use the touch screen in android and I cant figure out how to recal the touch screen in android.
Got it. i just deleted the ts calibration file from the android project folder and started android again.

Ok man maybe you can help me out with the problem im having. I go to file explorer and i launch Haret.exe and it immediately takes me to the linux booting page with the penguin at top. But it soon stops saying "Cant access tty. Job control turned off. And it doesnt move from there. What am i doing wrong?

delete all the contents from the .cab file you downloaded, make sure your memory card has wiped any remaining files from the original download, re-install and make sure you are downloading the correct .cab file for your handset, install to memory card and try again.

Yo Ihwparis chill out. This is a forum for information trading and gathering. Everyone was a noob at one time or another including you and asked questions that have been asked a million times already. Stop treating people like idiots. Help them or stop reading the thread. Someone else will help them out. It's not that serious. I can tell you one problem here that I encountered was a thread would be started and trail off into someting completely different never answering the first question. After reading pages upoon pages you get nothing. Some people like myself have real lives and real jobs and dont have time to sit here and read every post. If you take it so serious maybe you should sticky an informative how to guide and maybe that will stop people from bothering you so much.

I was actually on XDA for about 6 months, reading, before I finally decided to even MAKE an account, because I didn't want to be "That Noob". It was about another 6 months to a year before I posted anything at all. As you said yourself, most questions have already been asked a million times. This means that it is only a matter of reading, before you find someone that has asked the same question. In most cases once you find the question, and read a little further it leads you to the answer. He was smart enough to post in the correct sub-forum, which means he must have read through the forums a bit anyways. It wouldn't have taken much more work to read the top 3 sticky threads in that same sub-forum, and find the answer to the question.

I can get the whole thing to load however I cannot ever get the start screen (touch the androind to start) to ever let me touch it. The only thing that works is the keyboard input. Any suggestions?

Working Android 2.1!

Hello everybody,
I would like to share with you this working/booting version of android. Because I read many people have trouble, getting the phone work, or problems with looping boot. I putted this together, with the right zimages and rootfs and an working startup.txt. everything is pulled together from this site so the credit goes to the other ones. But I think it is nice to have an zipped build of android 2.1 ready to go for Topaz!
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NRXPN3FV
The version is without sense.
Extract the rar to an empty sd card and run haret!
Have Fun!

How is this different from any of the other builds on this site?!?
To the untrained eye it would appear that the ones that are located in the (obviously) main thread are somehow broken or not working... People have issues, we do our best to help them hash it out. Threads like this are just going to create more confusion.

because it's copy and play, usefull for members who don't understand how to compile everything together, this is an good build, even usb works!

A) What are you talking about USB works?!? Are you saying that YOUR build has things that work in it that other builds do not?
B) The others are "copy and play" as well... I haven't compiled a kernel in months, but I still get updated packages. Just copy them to the SD... how is yours easier again?

that was what i was saying indeed, things work what on other builds does not, but enough i understand you don't want it

Somehow I doubt it. So what works in your build that doesn't in the main builds? Mods, can we please delete this thread entirely?

How are you having USB working? afaik the system is read only. And you can't mount USB as Android is being run on it.
Be abit more specifigc about which USB functionality you are referring to

This forum is for the Raphael, not the Topaz. Stop wasting everyone's time.

you can use your sd card as an diskdrive so you can add or delete files without having to boot to winmo

Android SD

Hello,
sadly i couldn't find a How-To.
So how to get Android on my SD Card without formatting any Part using Haret.
Please Help, and excuse me, if this topic is wrong here or I'm just unable to use the Search.

hey
i dont know how your english knowledge is but ill just write everything in english and otherwise just message me.
so you need to go to http://androidonhtc.com and then there select kaiser
and then you need to download the basefiles
that is haret
http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/2010-02-20/haretinstall.zip/download
and the latest kernel here:
http://vogue-android.googlecode.com/files/basefiles-20091116.zip
and then you need to find an android version with SQSH support.
the donut here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619980
has that for example.
and then just run Haret and follow the installer.
I cannot recommend this method ebcause it is old and actually nobody is working on improving that.
I switched to NAND and its really good. You will never miss WiMo.
Or even the ext2 versions are faster and better (updated)
so just think about it if you really need WiMo anymore.

[ANDROID2.2|FROYO] SQSH image...

I need your help with creating a sqsh(or ext2) file with latest build of Froyo Android.
I tried to do it but as a result Vogue Linux(HaRET) can't mount it and also the job control is off(there is no way to turn it on without correct keymaping)...
Application that I used for making sqsh file is mksquashfs.exe .
I've already heard about a ext2 file format, that is better and faster...
I don't have any idea how to operate this files, etc., etc...
P.S. Sorry but I can't post links, you will must to search for it

Wifi Issue on Neopeek - My Fix

I had posted this fix somewhere in the neopeek thread, but I think it got kidna lost so I wanted to post it in a new thread so people could easily find it.
On the neopeek builds, I noticed that wifi does not work for Rhodium even though someone keeps saying it is fixed. below is the fix I use every time I redo my rom which seems to work for every neopeek build. I am not sure if it is the "proper" thing to do to resolve the problem, but it seems to work for me. Those of you having wifi issues, please try and let me know if it works for you too.
1. Within linux (I use ubuntu) I mount my sd card
2. using a terminal I navigate to /SDCardMountPath/system
3. I run "sudo vi build.prop"
4. Next I find the line that says "wifi.interface" and change the value to eth0 so it should read "wifi.interface=eth0"
5. perfrom :wq!
6. Boot Haret.exe
** NOTE **
You cannot do this within android, when you reboot it will be reset to what it was before, you HAVE to do this within linux on your mounted SD card

wifi has been working for the last couple weeks on his builds..i think you were a little too late to figure that out

LOL +1. Also, why did you feel the need to create a new thread for this? Resist the urge to hit that new thread button!

Not on my device, (Rhod100) Even though everyone said it was working for them it was not working for me for some reason, and I have the latest test superfroyo build (was previously using the stable cm6 build)
I dont know why it was not working on my device but this fixed it every time so I thought i would share.
@arrrghhh - If you read my original post I stated exactly why I made a new thread. - Resist the urge to flame before actually reading.

Thank you RickoT! I have on the latest release (=Barebone) changed some thing sregarding init + build.prop! So on the Barebone it should also be fixed for you. Try it out and let me knwo if you have time! Otherwise RickoT provided a very useful info for Rhodium users due to the fact that right now atm not all builds include my changes from Barebone Release. So if WiFi is not working for you in any old build than you can fix it as stated by RickoT

FINALLY!! I thought everybody forgot about us unlucky Rhodium users! how exactly do i do this? on my comp and then put it on thereor with ubuntu on the phone? sorry, i'm a noob of sorts

If you're fixing something for a Neopeek build, it would make a heckuva lot more sense to put it in that thread...
Oh, and I only flame AFTER I read. I don't flame before I read, that would just be silly.
