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've searched and searched and searched and can't find this info. anywhere. I found lots of post where people say they have fixed wimax in their ports, but of course they never share how. I assume that all the dev help was done in PM. All the PMing of dev info. around here makes it very hard to search for help or "how tos" on issues. I'm hoping that someone will be willing to take the time to help me out here.
I've been working on a Speedy port. I know it's old software at this point, but since this is my first port, I figured I'd start out with something easier than 3.5.
Because Speedy is a Sprint phone and naturally has 4g capability, I assume that all the needed files are already in there. I further assume that I must just need to edit the correct file/files in order to get it to work on an EVO. Just for ****es and giggles I've replaced all the Speedy wimax files with Supersonic wimax files, but still a no go.
These are all the files I've switched out so far:
From system/bin:
dhcpcd
sequansd
setWiMAXPropDaemond
getWiMaxPropDeamond
wimax_mtd
wimax_uart
wimaxAddRoute
wimaxConfigInterface
wimaxDhcpRelease
wimaxDhcpRenew
wimaxDumpKmsg
wimaxDumpLastKmsg
wimaxDumpLogcat
from system/etc:
the entire "wimax" directory
from system/lib/modules:
sequans_sdio.ko
wimaxdbg.ko
wimaxuart.ko
I think that's all of them. I read somewhere that it involves changing some code in a few files, but of course, again, they didn't mention which files to look at to make these changes.
Can anyone tell me where I should be looking? I've done lots and lots of comparisons on different files between my ROM and a couple other ROMs that have wimax working, but I'm just missing it somewhere.
I don't think I need someone to explain it detail, I just need someone to tell me where exactly I should be looking.
Many thanks in advance for anyone will to help me out on this.
Alot more to it then the files. Alot of its hardcoded into framework and jar files. If it was easy enough it would be done. A few of us have been trying to get into 3.5 but no luck has really been made yet. In time we will figure it out.

Yes, I realize that it's a lot more than just replacing files. I only mentioned that because I assumed somebody was going to mention those files. I could also list everything else I've looked into, but I figured I probably wouldn't get any help anyway so why bother.
I'm not a noob to this. As I stated I'm working on a speedy port in which most everything works except for 4g. That in and of itself should be enough to show that I would at least realize it's not going to be as easy as replacing files. I've had to open things like framework.jar many times and mess with smalis and what not. This why I didn't ask for a detailed explanantion but more of a where should I start looking.
As stated, I'm not using Sense 3.5 at the moment, but Sense 2.1. There are many 2.1 ROMs with working 4g, so the answer has already been discovered. It's not in any public forums or anything that I can find.
If I need to post a link to my ROM here so that someone will take me seriously, I'd be more than happy to.
Sorry I wasted your time then by answering your question.

What is with all these people getting pissy when people answer questions? You asked. You got answer. No need to try and artfully flame someone.
Boo
If you're talking to me, there was nothing remotely close to an answer to be found in his reply.
WIMAX incorporation
Couldnt this be done by downloading the source from HTCDEV and just porting over the wimax driver?
I am currently using Espier launcher which is great but the only problem i have with it is that some icons just are plain ugly. I tried my hardest, sat down and for the last two days I have been trying to follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449283
I just couldn't do it right I don't know what I was doing wrong but something didn't work. It might help too if the above guides screenshots worked instead of saying 404. I was hoping maybe someone with a little more knowledge of .xml editing could either tell me what I am doing wrong or do it for me.
If anyone wanted to do it the launcher.apk can be found here:
http://espier.org/download/EspierLauncher.apk
And the icons that I am trying to add can be found here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?a2z4zqqcllhmzcr
I wanted to be able to have:
~Music icon for Google Play Music
~Video icon for Google Play Movies
~iBooks icon for Google Play Books
~Calendar icon for stock AOKP Calendar
~Weather icon for Google News and Weather application
~Photo icon for Stock AOKP Gallery
~iFile icon for File Expert
~Safari icon for Espire Browser
~All the other icons are self explanatory (i.e. Youtube = Youtube, Twitter = Twitter, Facebook = Facebook)
Thank You so much in advance to anyone that would be able to help me with this!
Give me a week or two and I will try it. I should be able to do it, but time is always getting in the way, sorry bro.

No problem!!! I just try my best to help out the community. Unfortunately ai don't have an Epic anymore, I have another android phone but I will post the themed apk before I test it or maybe I will get the chance to who knows.
If you want me to theme any other apps let me know and I'll get to it!
I know this sounds stupid but, I don't have enough time on my hands where I can do this and make sure it works. The free time I have I am probably whittling or just adventuring outside or doing something I enjoy doing. I hope you understand,
But what sounds stupid is that I am willing to make a video on how to do it, if that's okay with you. If it is I will get off my lap top and go on my desktop, open up camtasia, record it, upload it to youtube, and put a link here.
You can post a thread saying that this is a general tutorial on themeing apps and you can use my video just so we don't have more posts like this, and maybe it'll be a sticky.
My apologies again! And yes I am saying sorry because I shouldn't have accepted a duty I am not able to fulfill. I know it looks weird having me typed all this, but its a lot easier than going through the folders and changing them.
I am not abstaining from doing it, I enjoy working on shtuffs for these phones and all, but I just have other things to do and other things I enjoy more.
I hope you understand where I am coming from. Video will be made by the weekend hopefully.
Although my hands are full ill pick this up just for the sake of helping. Idk what I can cook up but I'll let you know
This launcher looks like a Chinese version of an I phone. What rom are you on. Have you tried miui roms I have some tike tomorrow I can look into this. I'm not as awesome as Travis is at this but. If I can help. Then I am willing.

Thanks for the help guys. its very much appreciated. nd like i said before dont feel rushed at all. take your time
So... I can see all files when my GNex is in Android... But when I try to drag and drop... I get a little symbol with an X... So it wont let me copy the files over. Any solutions to this?
I was also wondering..
Mobilicity Phone, Rooted...
Thinking about putting this Rom on... (mind transfering files would make it easier)
http://www.teambamf.net/topic/3212-rom-bamf-paradigm-v21-411-jro03h-galaxy-nexus/
Any problems you think, I heard it MAY only be for Verizon, but I thought, If i DL the Maguro version, I would be Okay...?
I tried DL and installing a JB rom (looked official) google 10 Rom from Rom manager, and got stuck in a bootloop earlier, so I wanted some opinions on this....before I have to try to redo my backup file again

Minimize your windows...and see if any "This device may not be able to play this file...transfer anyway?" (or similar) pop-ups are showing.

Personally I find transferring files via MTP/PTP is rather buggy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it hangs my file manager. I use adb for transfer. Not as convenient as drag & drop, but always works.

I've been getting this pop up. Does this mean there are definitely going to be issues with my files? Or a probability?
The reason I asked is because I recently messed something up by having two download folders (download / Download) and made things very wonky. I've reformatted my virtual SD, and am copying things back over with Win 7 x64. It's kind of driving me nuts discovering things suddenly can't be deleted/moved/etc. Even after I resolved the download issue, I then found the Nook folder that the Gnex toolkit backed up was suffering from this problem.
So right now, I'm just moving my essential things back (pictures, Tibu backups, various apks to install later) and I'm going to check again.
dont use toolkits.
and /sdcard/download is not the same folder as /sdcard/Download.

1) It generally seems to work. It's a pretty well ranked thread, is there a flaw that I'm not aware of? Or are you just opposed to them? I love learning the nitty gritty on how things work but I also believe in streamlining and making things more efficient. That's what machines are for. I look at this way: I know cars. I've studied them and worked on them for many years. Had jobs doing it. So with basic things like oil changes, I've done them for so long and so many times that it's no longer fun or a learning experience. It's just tedious. At this point, I'd rather pay people I trust to just do it for me than spend the time doing it, collecting the used oil, dropping the used oil off at a participating collection facility, changing clothes, showering, etc. And I get a free car wash if I pay my old work to do it.
2) The creation of two separately cased download folders sure as hell kicked off a chain of frustrating events and the most succinct advice I received to remedy the issue was "flash back to stock image". I never had the two directories before and based on my research, Android by default looks at directories in a case-insensitive way. And so does my Win PC so...
If you can provide any more insight or help, it would appreciated.
BTW, I have toro.

I love learning the nitty gritty on how things work but I also believe in streamlining and making things more efficient. That's what machines are for. I look at this way: I know cars. I've studied them and worked on them for many years. Had jobs doing it. So with basic things like oil changes, I've done them for so long and so many times that it's no longer fun or a learning experience. It's just tedious. At this point, I'd rather pay people I trust to just do it for me than spend the time doing it, collecting the used oil, dropping the used oil off at a participating collection facility, changing clothes, showering, etc. And I get a free car wash if I pay my old work to do it.
2) The creation of two separately cased download folders sure as hell kicked off a chain of frustrating events and the most succinct advice I received to remedy the issue was "flash back to stock image". I never had the two directories before and based on my research, Android by default looks at directories in a case-insensitive way. And so does my Win PC so...
If you can provide any more insight or help, it would appreciated.
BTW, I have toro.

1- if something goes wrong, no one knows what happened, what command failed, etc; using commands like google instructs you allows for better troubleshooting when issues arise;
2- android is not case-insensitive, like linux; windows is. that's your problem right there, windows.

And what about that pop up I get on windows about how my device may not play the file? This is when dragging and dropping via explorer. Is that just a warning prompt, or is something actually going to happen? The files seem to be playing fine, everything seems back to normal (as I can now move/delete/modify files and directories).
Well I am having some audio issues but that seems strictly related to an audio mod I just installed...

I am trying my hand at flashing to other carriers and I am so lost and stuck. I spent the last 4 hours searching all over the place and have yet to find an answer so.
I am wondering if anyone can help me with this problem. I am try to put my Sprint Epic 4g touch onto Boost mobile. I am using a ZTE Warp to accomplish this.
I am so I pretty much understand what needs to be done but, I am stuck in a place where I cannot retrieve 2 NV files. I am trying to read and save 466 and 1192
IN cdma workshop it shows that it reads but when i go to open the files and look at it inside the .txt file its says just for those two files access denied. I can open the two files and browse the contents ok enough. But there is no hexadeximal numbers in there. I would post what they look like but I am not sure if that is against the rules. But I would be so eternally grateful if anyone who knows about this could teach me a way or show me a way to access these two files so that I can get this phone working.
To summarize :
1.) Epic Touch 4g to Boost
2.) Stuck on the part where I grab the NV files from the other phone I own.
3.) My other phone is a Zte Warp
4.) The files I need seem to be locked and unreadable
5.) Looking for some expert advice on how to accomplish getting those files because I have searched under all the rocks I know of.
I don't like asking for help unless I have knocked down all of my doors. But I am out of options at this point and my brain is about to explode.
6.)Thankyou in advanced.
Wrong forum. Click the triangle with the ! in it in the top right hand corner of your post to report it to mods, and ask them to move your thread here. You're more likely to get the help you need there.
Neither of those phones is a gti9100... wrong forum?

Sorry never posted ever on this site even though i silently read all the time. I tried my best to post it in the right forum but i guess I was so frustrated with my problem that I actually didn;t. Once again I apologize.
Moved to correct forum.

That is the exact walkthrough I am following. It's fairly simple to follow and easy to understand. But, unlike in that tut, I am not using the incognito I am attempting to use the warp and I am running into problems getting two of the NV files mentioned. Both of the files I am refering to have access denied as the output. So I am basically stuck until I can afford to purchase the exact phone used in the tut or someone smarter than myself decides to help me out a little.
But I will say this. Getting stuck like this has taught me soooooo much so thankyou guys for all of the wonderful posts and guides you write. It is people like this that keep the world turning
