Android update for HTC Touch Pro2

This is currently the best working version we can get going on the HTC Touch Pro2 (Rhodium). It is far from complete, but every day the XDAndroid Devs have breakthroughs which bring us closer to a full working port. Full data is working (although it shows my ATT as “Cingular” still, and sometimes literally shows my network as “AT&T?”), including Marketplace, Geo-Locations, and all Sync options.

• NEW Mar 08 3D Finally working(ish) Will not show Nexus boot screen, or some other 3D apps that require LOTS of RAM. (Remove cmdline “hw3d.force=1″ from your startup.txt to go back to the old settings and get your splash screen back)
• NEW Mar 08 New system.sqsh from babijoee, includes Home++ (you can still select standard Android Home as default)
• NEW Mar 08 New Startup Utility! (Thanks pieteckhart and DaveShaw, woulda never gotten done otherwise) No more multiple downloads, keyboard selection tool will load

Some quick comparison – HTC Touch Pro2 vs. iPhone vs. Nokia N97

Here we have some quick comparison between these three mobile devices (iPhone, NokiaN97 and HTC Touch Pro2) because people are confused about which product from the three products to buy, and what is the suitable product for them and why to buy it and also to know the differences between the three products so in this article we are going to talk about the differences between each mobile and features of each one so let’s start. I searched the internet for information about the whole three products and i got some useful information and i put it right here so everyone knows which product is suitable for him.

The three products shapes :

HTC Touch Pro2:

iPhone:

Nokia N97:

One of the three products don’t have a seperate keyboard and this is the iPhone, but there is another type of HTC series is pretty close in the features from the one I have mentioned in here and also it includes a pretty nice and high camera and this type is called Dimond2.

The three products are pretty close from each other in the memory space but if we took the maximum limit for the memory to reach it will be of course the Nokia N97 because it can be raised up to 48GB. When it comes to the colors and screen specifications so Nokia N97 is the best of all , but the actual use points to that HTC Touch Pro2 is the best in screen resolution and Windows Mobile OS, super sensitivity for the touch screen use, and the ability to follow it. For the potential of fixed and mobile imaging the winner is HTC Touch Pro2 without any competitor. iPhone don’t have the radio feature or even the general bluetooth use (you can use the bluetooth feature for the headphones only) and also iPhone can’t send MMS messages.

Ubuntu on HTC Touch Pro2 video demo

May be you already know about Ubuntu running on HTC Touch Pro2 and of course, here is the video what this looks like. Take a look at the above video. The operating of Ubuntu is surprisingly smooth (beside of the small font size).

Run Ubuntu on your HTC Touch Pro2

This may be a testament to the versatility of Windows Mobile devices or to the genius of certain XDA members. It looks like user sebbo90 has figured out how to run Ubuntu on his Touch Pro2 through haret. All you need to do is to unzip the archive to your root of your sd card and start the haret engine.

Think of the possibilities of having a fully fledged linux system on your phone, a mini netbook as such!

Not Working at the moment:
Wifi
Keyboard- At least on rhoduim100uk the fn deosnt work so you cant get / and _ etc in the terminal
