[Q] Power(Home) and Phone(Call) key not working - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development

I ported Android Froyo 2.2 into my Tilt 2 about 2 weeks ago and it was working perfectly and all of a sudden my Phone and Power/Home(key on top) stopped working. In addition, when I hold the End/Power key it only gives me the option to Power Off phone, when before it gave me options to silence/vibrate. I tried searching but no luck... any suggestions?

See this thread.
Kinda surprised you didn't find that searching...

Thanks but my phone doesn't seem to have the option of "Power button ends call" under Settings->Accessibility.

What version of android are you running? If it's Froyo, it should be in there.

Yup, running Android v2.2 Froyo: BLAZN. I tried the rootfs.img several times but that option never shows on my phone.

BLAZN has a very old version of Froyo. The Power Button Ends Call option isn't in the rootfs.img. It's in the system.ext2. You should be able to get the option by upgrading to a newer Froyo system.ext2 like FRX03.

Where can I find that version? I don't see it in the xdandroid download page.
I have the 2010_11_24 version.

Hmm...last version of XDAndroid's Froyo was released on 11/19 as per the xdandroid download page (bottom left under latest release). Where did you get this 11/24 version?

Ah, you're talking about Sovereign's update utility which is rolled into Reefer's packages. I can't say that I know a whole lot about that since I don't use it. There's a way to check within android however. Go to launcher and click on Settings. Next scroll all the way down to About phone and click on that. Finally, scroll down to Build number and post what it says for that.

Delete your data.img, boot again.

Phone boots now, Android is running great thanks. My Phone key works now, but my Power button and End key have the same function, which is End call/Lock/Shutdown. Still have no Home key. I tried the rootfs-f22-20101115-b6303c2.img and the Settings->Accessibility->"Power Button Ends Call" option and didn't work.

It's a TON easier to just use spare parts to remap end to home.
The other method is not so easy, until we get a startup.txt option to change it.

Ive gotten it working with the "rootfswithcalibration" file. I Didnt change anything other than adding a tilt2 startup.txt (unfortunately this older rootfs does not support any of our new keyboard maps, or wifi), renaming to rootfs.img and dropping it in the folder. Make sure you do not have a ts-calibration file in your android boot folder, and try again!

Thanks I'll try that out.
This is not working. I run the .exe and then it reboots the phone to bootloader mode and the phone never enters the bootloader so eventually it errors out. I tried booting the phone into booatloader mode manually and then starting the .exe but that didn't work either. Oh well...just have to wait for a different method I suppose.

That's weird, it definitely worked for me.
I just had an idea, it could be getting stuck at the HTC screen because of the .zip files on the SDcard so I'm going to try the update one more time and if it does not work then I will remove the .zip's from the SDcard to see if removing them helps! I hope so -fingers crossed-
Edit: Nope, no difference. Ugh...wish I had never rooted in the first place.
Edit 2: I had another thought, why not try to run the .exe while the phone was showing the HTC logo, and surprise, it is now working! I really hope that it removes root, fixes the market, and gets that update!
Could you check to see if your version numbers match up to this thread?

Perhaps you're not understanding what I'm asking of you.
From the first post, it sounds like you are running an ancient unsupported build.
I'm suggesting you download that build, use it, and install LauncherPro on it.
What build are you using? Is my assumption correct?
Im using XDAndroid2.2BLAZN.092810
and im trying your build right now
It still says "An SD card is required to download this"...... What can I do?

Something's wrong with the set up because I just downloaded it from market and it d/l'd and installed fine. I know it's a PITA, but maybe try reformatting the card, reload Arrrghhh's stock FRX06, let it build a new data.img and then try reloading it again.
no i went to LauncherPro.com to get the latest version and it says that i need a SD card which already have one inserted

Well, when I searched for that (exactly) the second app made the most sense.
When I searched for 'launcherpro' (one word) I thought it would turn up less, but it turned up more... LP was still in the list, but like 6 down.
Download the one titled "LauncherPro". The others probably just have something related to LP in the description so it pops up... Welcome to search engines, w00t.

It currently just sees the OTA file downloaded. There does not appear to be any logic comparing to the installed version. So this is normal.

It kinda sucks for a production such as Lineage to not be able to offer a fix for the above mentioned problem.. Tried everything i could think of but still no success. Is there really no one out here able to provide solutions?
