Could anyone point me to the correct tutorial to root your HTC Touch Pro 2 ?
I'v been reading up on the android builds past few days. I'm totally new to this.
I got android to work with the project android build. And i want to use Whatsapp.
But it won't let me open Whatsapp. 3rd party task manager is killing it. So i guess its ATK ? But i can't just uninstall it trough settings>applications etc. Same trough android market. I read somewhere you'd have to root it then. But i don't know how. Any help would be appreciated alot !!!.
If i'm not suppose to post this, because i haven't looked or w/e, fine delete this. But i did look. And if been reading alot of topics and iv seen alot of flaming just because of asking a question. might have been a stupid one, but still, people just want some help. Why not help out ? We all start somewhere. And im starting right here. haha.
Oh and if im totally off map by saying rooting, let me know how i can get whatsapp to work. Iv seen it works for others so im just waiting to fix mine. haha.
Anyway, great job on the forum and great builds for TP2.
Peace,
from the spacestronaut.
It is already rooted. Next time spend some time reading

well you didnt search enough nor read enough...and i started by reading and searching (only 2 posts in first year as member)
Like i said before, i did search the past few days, and i did read, but its not like theres a topic out there called "TP2 rooting". Or "how to get rid of preinstalled apps". So cool it. And help me out. That would be greatly appreciated it. i knew i shouldn't expect a mature response...

Well that's the problem, XDAndroid is rooted - but don't expect every app that works on native Android phones to work on these - this isn't exactly an approved or sanctioned port.

im not using the XDandroid build, im using the project android build. And i read somewhere in order for whatsapp to be working you need to get rid of ATK by rooting your phone and then get rid of the app (ATK). So, some are saying it should be rooted. And it's not like no one is running whatsapp on a HTC android mod. it should be working. but i can't seem to get rid of ATK. iv read other could just get rid of it trough settings>applications but i can only delete the updates. Please some real anwsers instead of saying things i allready know.
Hey,
first of all welcome to the xda-developers forum...
like u and i guess everyone i hate answers like some of the ones you got..
i think a froum is made to ask questiuons however that might be about...
and it took me month back in my old htc kaiser days to get the whole android thing.
so when you want to install apps that are not from the store then u have to check one checkbox first.
ull find it under settings->applications-> and there should be a checkbox that says unsigned apps or untrusted apps...something like that.
normally this page should pop up if u click on a app that u have on the sd card...
i hope that is what u asked for...
and the phone is already rooted whatever build u are using
and if u have any questions but dont want to ask them in the forum cuz u might think that u get answers that dont suit ure question just pm me

Hi, i appreciate your response. Thanks alot.
So it's allready rooted. Ok cool. Let me explain. I want to use Whatsapp. But when i open it, i get the 3rd party task manager is blocking it. And im guessing its the ATK. but i can't get rid of it. I know how to install unsigned and untrusted apps. But now i want to get rid of it. haha. Anyway, i shoot you a message maybe tomorrow to explain more i guess. A mod can close this, as i proberly won't get a straight answers anyway.

Do you even know what you're talking about? ATK hasn't been included in any builds for a while, and what do you mean you're not using XDAndroid you're using the "project android build" - this makes me think you have NO clue what you're talking about. Please, prove me wrong.

Your right, i don't know, that's why im asking... smh at the ignorance at this forum.
hey,
ok now i got what ure asking...
so then it is important what method u are using? do you have a system.ext2 file that you load with haret?
or do you have a partioned sd card with the android system on a ext2 partition.
when you have the whole system in a system.ext2 file you would need to unpack it, delete the .apk of the app, and then pack it into a .ext2 file again...
when you have the second method that just browse into the folder system/apps/ and delete the file...
that should work for every normal app but it is not easy to do it...

Well you certainly answered my questions with a confidence only stupidity can be responsible for.
FYI, there's a difference between ignorance & stupidity. Ignorant people just don't know. Stupid people know, but are willingly ignorant. You have all the information available to, yet you insist on being ignorant.
It's OK to ask questions - but if it has been answered before, answering the same questions over and over again gets old. So some of us will respond a little less amicably than others - 9 times out of 10, this was because the OP didn't do their due diligence.

I just sent you a pm. i don't load anything, i start winmo, open up, project android, hit boot, android starts... that's all i do. i don't have a system.ext2 file on my sd. if this method is "wrong" or dated, let me know where to get the newest build. seems like that is the problem ?
hm...so you have to have some files that are behind that...
and i would think that you have a system.ext2 file somewhere...
should be in the andboot folder on your sd card.
but in builds that are used now here that task manager you want to get rid of isnt used anymore...so i would suggest just try the xdandroid build and kernels or the neopeek version which is very fast and you have all files on a spare partition on your sd card.
if you want to get started with the neopeek build just check neopeek.com and then the forum. there are all the build he has developed and instructions how to install. if u have any questions about that just let me know...
i guess art your point it would be the easiest to switch to another build

Listen, i understand your point of view. Iv been reading up on alot of threads in the Touch Pro 2 section. And i saw alot of normal questions being asked. And there was alot of flaming just because of those questions. That's disrespect in my opinion. Because you guys now, just point a newb to the right place. I mean it's not that hard... or is it ? Believe i do understand it though. But it doesnt hurt to be a bit more helpfull. Im willing to learn. I signed up because i wanted to participate and learn. That might not have been in my OP but im sure you understand by now, i do want to learn. And to be honest, alot of those frequently asked questions aren't in the provided tutorials or aren't easy findable. Wich makes it totally legit to ask a question. Forgive me for not reading 1000 pages of a thread. I only wanted a quick response to my question. A url to the right place to continue to search for a fix. and to learn. not to piss you guys off. Because it's allready been done about a million times. Again, i do understand your attitude, but give a new guy a chance to learn.

Thanks nick, you the man
I guess if your whole issue is ATK, then just use a newer build. I don't think ATK has been included in any of the 2.2 builds, but it hasn't been in a build for a while. So I'm guessing your build is old if you still have ATK on there.

its a double-edged sword this kinda thing, because its easy for both sides it is just tedious and requires an abnormal amount of patience which some of us (like myself) have little of to begin with
also there are times, like this, that a noob cant simply be pointed in the right direction
all that said i agree with nick, just use xdandroid for tp2 especially since that is what the people around here are most accustomed to
So I am new with the Android world.
I got Blazn up and running, but that's all where I am at lol.
So i see all those extra information that I am not knowledgeable about (not ignorant so people don't start flaming) , so I am going to call myself a NOOB when it comes to Android and learning bit by bit everyday.
So long story short, You guys got WhatsApp up and running properly?
Because I heard back in the 2.1 eclair , WhatsApp was not working correctly.
If working, what alterations have you guys done to make it run (if any needed).

Ok, after a quick google search I see what it is... why not just use Google Voice? Seems like a much better alternative IMHO.
I can't tell u how many times I've ask this question without anyone answering ....so maybe I'm the only one (prolly I'm missing something obvious)
But I have had no success finding anything useful (or even remotely close to wut I'm trying to find) while using the 'Search' option, in the 'XDA' app.
Does anyone know wuts up? ...will it ever be improved ...either I'm missing something or it needs removed, cuz as is, its completely useless!
*please, someone reply ...even just to say u don't have a clue but have also noticed it ...or that I'm stupid n the answer is right in my face ...just reply. Thnx.
Im tempted to say I agree, but I don't search enough.
One major thing I've noticed is that it's useless to the degree that it searches the whole damn site. It'd be nice if we could search forum specific or even thread specific.

Yea should be more precise its hard looking for anything having to revert to the desktop and search is a pain

How do you do that? The only way I can search is by going back to the main screen, selecting more and then search. I do use the free app though.
Cool, nice to see I'm not the only one ...figures after I stop checking the thread, people start replying
But yeah, I was startin to think my app was defective. I should (prolly check the Actual 'tapatalk' since I finally bought it ...but I suspect its the same.
Thnx, for the responses
Installed the drivers...now i dont know what to click to get out of HBOOT menu... i dont dare just clicking on anything.. help plzz
do you think is normal to open an other thread to ask every single question??
you know the xda community count thousand of people? what if everyone open a thread??
use ur old thread..be patient for the response..search on google in the while
kindly regards
ah..man.. i have googled to the scrap.. or else i whouldnt have posted this thead.
I guess there are many others wondering the same thing... so insted of redirecting me too google again you could have been a "nice" guy and just told me what to do... then we have a thread for the rest to find. jsus chrst

You could have just taken the battery out -.-
Hey everyone, Had a quick search of the forum and cant find anything similar to what my problem is..
After flashing and installing cm7 I was suprised to see that I had no market/market had not installed.
I downloaded an android market app, however when I go to open it it says "You must add an account to the device to continue. Do you want to add one now?"
If I press yes, it goes no where and market closes.
However in settings I have had a look at adding an Account to the phone through Accounts/Sync..
When I do this, It asks for my email address and password which I enter..
After entering the details, It takes me to a "server settings" page which is already filled out for me, but when I press next, I get "setup could not finish, unable to open connection to server"
Can anybody please help me figure this out!? Would be much appreciated!
Matt

Well to me its obvious you DIDN'T as there's plenty of people had the same problem as you, myself included when I first jumped in with two feet and flashed cm7 without even reading what I was doing! Only difference is it took me about 30 seconds to figure out that I needed to flash Google apps and I don't believe for one second that you searched anywhere before posting this so I'll let you make up the time by finding out how to do that yourself.

did you flash latest version gapps ?
Thanks shemulweb, That's exactly what I needed to do.
As for you scratch.. I have no problem with you "leaving me to do it" as I know exactly what to do now. Just because I couldn't find anything on it or typed in the wrong search keywords does not mean you have to come across stuck up. I'm not a noob, I don't need people to show me how to do things. I just missed a step in the process.
Sorry mate just p's me off answering the same questions repeatedly, especially when its been asked thousands of times in the cm7 thread and here.
A little tip I've learnt for searching is on Google type what you're looking for (obviously) and add xda and or wildfire if its something specific to this phone.

All good buddy!
I'm not getting any notifications when receiving a text message on my newly flashed miui rom (version in title and below). I've scoured the internet, forums, miui site, google... all search results come up with old dates... old answers... old version problems and fixes....
if anyone has had a similar problem, or have found a solution, please post it for me, i'd really appreciate it.
As of right now, i get a pop up saying "messaging isn't working" and to either report to miui button, or an OK button populates. this happens when a text message arrives (so i guess you can say, in fact, i am receiving a text notification! ) just not what is expected with the new rom. here's my info: (and if I'm forgetting anything please let me know, i'll be here all day!) I DO, however, receive notifications for email, etc... everything except SMS/MMS.

Additionally, this is my first post. I've been a little nervous to make any sort of post due to always coming across people asking dumb questions, in the wrong area, answered questions, people getting poo on their face for being noobs... etc. I've been a root user for 2 years now and I didn't want to waste anyones time as I know you are all very busy, but i've been a HUGE fan of this site for quite a while now and i've finally came across a problem i'm currently unable to fix myself with a little experimentation... Thank you in advance if anyone has an answer for me!
Also, if anyone uses MIUI roms, i'd love to hear how it has worked out for you on the EVO 4G, as my past experiences have been rocky with this rom. i've tried countless versions, but always come up with some sort of error... although, it is my favorite in terms of customization!
